Q: How to get ssh2_exec output formatted as I get in linux shell I have a php script on a windows server in which some code makes a call to a linux server through ssh protocol and launch a command to execute another php script on it, that is:
$connection_portalemis = ssh2_connect('192.168.34.77', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection_portalemis, 'usr', 'pwd');
$controllikd4 = ssh2_exec($connection_portalemis, '/usr/local/bin/php /var/www/html/php/kd4check_new/controllikd4.php');
stream_set_blocking($controllikd4,true);

$controlliSOA = stream_get_contents($controllikd4);

If I print the variable $controlliSOA I get the output in a whole string like this (sorry for the italian):

But if I run the same php script (controllikd4.php) directly on ssh shell of the server linux, I get this formatting:

I'd like to know if there is a way to get the second one formatting in the php windows script as I get on linux server, and not a unique line string.

Access to Higher Education of Afro-Peruvians: Disentangling the Influence of Skin Color and Social Origins in the Peruvian Stratification System
Despite recent efforts by the Peruvian government to rectify centuries of injustice against Afro-Peruvians, not much is known about the relative influence of discrimination and social origins on Afro-Peruvians' access to higher education. Using data from the 2014 Specialized Study of Afro-Peruvian Population and logistic regression, the authors examine the influence of skin color and social origins on access to higher education for Afro-Peruvians.
Emergence of Third Spaces: Exploring Trans Students' Campus Climate Perceptions Within Collegiate Environments
Our study aims to understand trans students' perceptions of campus climate, with a particular focus on students' demographics, academic experiences, and cocurricular experiences. We use Bhabha's concept of third space as an epistemological lens and Rankin and Reason's transformational tapestry model as a theoretical framework. Using a national sample of 207 trans collegians from the National LGBTQ Alumnx Survey, we utilize regression analysis supplemented by an analysis of open-ended responses to highlight the experiences of trans respondents.
A General Framework for Comparing Predictions and Marginal Effects across Models
Many research questions involve comparing predictions or effects across multiple models. For example, it may be of interest whether an independent variable's effect changes after adding variables to a model. Or, it could be important to compare a variable's effect on different outcomes or across different types of models. When doing this, marginal effects are a useful method for quantifying effects because they are in the natural metric of the dependent variable and they avoid identification problems when comparing regression coefficients across logit and probit models.
Analyzing Meaning in Big Data: Performing a Map Analysis Using Grammatical Parsing and Topic Modeling
Social scientists have recently started discussing the utilization of text-mining tools as being fruitful for scaling inductively grounded close reading. We aim to progress in this direction and provide a contemporary contribution to the literature. By focusing on map analysis, we demonstrate the potential of text-mining tools for text analysis that approaches inductive but still formal in-depth analysis.
Context and Change: A Longitudinal Analysis of Attitudes about Immigrants in Adolescence
Research has explored many different relationships between contextual influences, such as levels of immigration or economic condition, and attitudes about immigrants, with mixed results. These have largely been international comparative studies using cross-sectional data, therefore they have been unable to make claims about changes in environmental context translating to changes in attitudes of respondents.
Weathering, Drugs, and Whack-a-Mole: Fundamental and Proximate Causes of Widening Educational Inequity in U.S. Life Expectancy by Sex and Race, 1990–2015
Discussion of growing inequity in U.S. life expectancy increasingly focuses on the popularized narrative that it is driven by a surge of "deaths of despair." Does this narrative fit the empirical evidence? Using census and Vital Statistics data, we apply life-table methods to calculate cause-specific years of life lost between ages 25 and 84 by sex and educational rank for non-Hispanic blacks and whites in 1990 and 2015. Drug overdoses do contribute importantly to widening inequity for whites, especially men, but trivially for blacks.
Intragenerational Variations in Autobiographical Memory: China's "Sent-Down Youth" Generation
The relationship between generation and memory instantiates a theme central to sociology: the intersection between history and biography. This study addresses two gaps in the literature. First, whereas the dominant approach uses a cognitive concept of memory operationalized as naming events, I focus on autobiographical memory represented in life stories, in which members of a generation understand the meanings of their personal past as part of a historical event.
Visualizing Individual Outcomes of Social Mobility Using Heatmaps
Research on the consequences of social mobility usually draws on information about categorical origin and destination variables as well as an outcome variable. The author shows an example of a heatmap created in Stata to visualize the relationship between social mobility and poor self-rated health in Germany and discusses the advantages of this heatmap approach to other visualization approaches.
Raising Global Children across the Pacific
Different opportunity structures and different perceptions of risk within the global economy shape the ways parents of similar class and ethnic backgrounds strive to prepare their children for the future.
Trouble in Tech Paradise
The structures of the tech industry, with its dependence on highly skilled immigrant workers, and the H-1B visa, with its dependence on sponsoring companies, bind tech workers in a cycle of legal violence.

I'm A Mom With Depression & I'm Skeptical About The "Wonder Drug"
Like an estimated one in nine new moms, I am currently suffering from postpartum depression. And like many of those same moms, I've been struggling to adequately treat my depression since my 4-month-old son was born. So imagine my cautious optimism when the FDA unveiled an approved "wonder drug" for postpartum depression, as reported on by USA Today. The so-called miracle fix for my post-pregnancy problems, called Brexanolone but sold as Zulresso, is said to "work fast" — in just two days, or 60 hours of intravenous medication. It also costs upwards of $20,000. You'll have to forgive me if I'm a little skeptical.
Most treatment options for postpartum depression, like oral medication and therapy, take time to work; a truth I am currently living. So the idea that a depressed mom like me can be "cured" in two days is relatively alluring, until I realize that billing a $35,000 course of drugs that may essentially put moms to sleep, per the advised side effects, is not a true solution.
After sitting in a 'certified health care facility' being administered this drug under the restricted 'Zulresso REMS Program,' I have to imagine that my social isolation may well get worse.
Even if cost and a potential lack of insurance weren't issues, is a picture of thousands of moms dozing in medical facilities as they endure two days worth of IV treatment I am assuming not without interruption to breastfeeding the solution we have been hoping for? The medical release says the drug is approved for use while breastfeeding, but a zonked mother is not going to be able to hold her baby for hours on end.
Sorry, I see this miracle as indicative of how this country continuously fails mothers. Instead of peddling a "wonder drug," we should be treating the social problems that exacerbate postpartum depression in all women, regardless of whether or not they can afford a high-priced treatment option.
There is no single cause of postpartum depression, according to the Mayo Clinic, but instead a litany of physical and emotional factors — not least of which is a basic lack of sleep. So the idea that a single, high-priced drug can "cure" postpartum depression is nothing more than a slap in the face to moms who are suffering, often in silence. Sleep deprivation, feelings of overwhelm, fears associated with caring for a newborn, a loss of identity, social isolation, and a loss of control can all contribute to postpartum depression, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A two-day drug cannot and will not eradicate those things. And after sitting in a "certified health care facility" being administered this drug under the restricted "Zulresso REMS Program," I have to imagine that my social isolation may well get worse.
Sure, I'm not a psychiatrist, but I have two of those depression-inducing babies researchers are talking about. And those depression-inducing babies have taught me that it's not my body, or my babies, that are failing me: it's my country. Even if this drug helps some narrow slice of women experiencing serious postpartum depression, there are many other fixes we could offer everyone else, not to mention opportunities for early detection and ways we could work to prevent perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
Firstly, we should be addressing depression in pregnancy. An estimated 25 percent of cases of "postpartum" depression begin during pregnancy, according to Harvard Medical School, yet rarely are pregnant women screened for prenatal depression.
We should provide paid family leave so that fathers can share the burden when it comes to night feeds and around-the-clock care in those early weeks.
We should check in early and often with new moms, instead of wheeling them out of the hospital with no postpartum care until the 6-week checkup. And we should provide social support for the reported 25 percent of new moms who go back to work a mere two weeks after giving birth, according to a survey by In These Times.
Instead of peddling another synthetic fix, we should be de-stigmatizing postpartum depression, as well as depression in general, so that every mom feels comfortable seeking the treatment they need and deserve; treatment that, yes, does take time, but is always time well spent.
So while it's lovely to envision a two-day wonder drug, I can't help but feel pessimistic and angry that this so-called break-through even exists. Because the lack of support for new parents in this country isn't a two-day thing: it's something we pass on from generation to generation.


Halloween is a great time to get your children's imagination going, and it should be a hands on operation rather than an open your purse operation!
Use a metal or glass mixing bowl and make sure it is spotlessly clean, dry and free from grease.
Break up the egg whites with the whisk and then add the sugar in one go. Whisk at full speed until the mixture forms stiff dry peaks and is not grainy when rubbed between finger and thumb.
Put the meringue in a piping bag fitted with a large nozzle and pipe your ghosts.
Bake for 45-60 minutes or until crisp, they should peel off the paper easily. Turn off the oven and allow to cool.
Once cool remove from the oven and decorate.
Put the flour, sugar, salt and butter in a bowl and rub together to get fine breadcrumbs, use the egg yolk to combine and knead lightly.
Roll out into a long rectangle, finger size width, and then cut into fingers. Use a round tipped knife to make the finger nail and knuckle lines.
Arrange on a non stick baking sheet or on a tray lined with greaseproof paper and chill in the fridge for a good 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180°C then cook for 10-15 minutes until golden.
Leave to cool then paint the nails with food colouring.

19 Things I Learned about Bulgaria
Views on BG | February 3, 2014, Monday // 16:02| views
By Justin Carmack – True Nomads blog
The first time I traveled through Bulgaria, I knew it wasn't enough. So I came back for round two.
I love these kind of countries- ones ultimately over-looked by most of the world as a country of interest. In countries like Bulgaria, i feel like it's more of the "wild west", more free, fewer rules and regulations, and fewer tourists.
From a traveler's standpoint though, it seems like a great shame that more people flock to the neighboring Turkey and Greece, where it is much more developed and expensive, when they can potentially find something just as amazing in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania…. Heck, all over the Balkans! When you are here, it's a whole different feel.
You sort of have a slight apprehension going there in the first place: it having a name synonymous with all kinds of wars. And you definitely feel like you're on the "other side" of Europe, as everything is in Cyrillic and not revolving around you, the tourist. That said, I think this made it all the more better for me! It's an awesome place, and I'm glad it is how it is. It probably wont be this way forever, so I think you should see it now. Until then, here are things I learned about Bulgaria!
1. Bulgaria brought the world the Cyrillic alphabet – which today is used in Russia and throughout the Balkans and other Slavic nations. It was invented by two monks during the First Bulgarian Empire
2. ancient Roman influence on Bulgaria is still evident in many of the cities,. You'll find Roman baths in Varna, ruins in Sofia, and a mostly-in-tact Roman theater in Plovdiv
3. Bulgaria is apparently the birthplace of yoghurt, and the stuff is everywhere. Not only are there about 300 varieties in supermarkets, but there's also yoghurt in many of Bulgaria's signature dishes.
3. The roses grown in Bulgaria's "Rose Valley" produce most (70-85%) of the world's rose oil – a component in most perfumes.
4. On the first day of March each year, Bulgarians exchange red-and-white woven bracelets with each other. They wear these Martenitsi bracelets throughout the month, until they see a stork or a blooming tree. Then, the bracelets are tied to trees as a way of welcoming springtime. This is a holiday of sorts, called Baba Marta ("Grandmother March"), and celebrates the passing of winter.
5. Bulgaria has two major ranges – the Balkan Mountains and the Rhodope Mountains – and a few smaller ranges, including the Rila and Pirin mountains. Because of all these mountains, Bulgarian towns like Bansko have become very popular for winter sports. (and cheap!)
6. It has the world's largest IMAX 3D cinema.
7. After the collapse of a Roman bridge in the 4th Century there was no crossing of the Danube between Romania and Bulgaria for 1,600 years.
8. Though small in area, Bulgaria ranks third in Europe in biodiversity, with a number of rare and endemic species. More than 700 brown bears, 1,000 wolves, golden jackal, wild cats, common otters, souslik and 37 species of reptiles can be found here
9. A must see when travelling to the country is The Rila Cross, which is one of the many unique things in Bulgaria. It's a wooden cross with 140 microscopic scenes from the Bible featuring more than 1,500 figures; the largest of them is no bigger than a grain of rice.
10. A third of Bulgaria is forested. (hence the biodiversity)
11. For More Than 700 Years, Bulgaria Was Nearly Twice Its Current Size
12. Michael Palin upset Bulgarians by saying it is most famous for it's gypsies
13. Mastika, a 47% proof spirit made with tree resin, is a popular drink. Average price of a lager is less than .
14. The country is one of the world's biggest winemakers – 200,000 tonnes a year.
15. Bulgarians invented the first electronic computer, digital watch and car air bag.
16. Bulgaria's most famous footballers are Hristo Stoichkov, now 45 – highest scorer at the 1994 World Cup – and Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov, 30.
17. Bulgaria Has The 2nd Most Mineral Springs In Europe, just behind Iceland.
18. Plovdiv is Europe's Oldest Inhabited City, even older than Athens.
19. Bulgarians shake their heads to mean yes and nod for no. Not kidding.

He Knew the Day Was Coming When His Sister Would Save His Life
James Rabe knew from childhood he had inherited a rare disease that would destroy his kidneys. Women don't inherit it, so his sister was his salvation.
James Rabe of Twins Falls, Idaho, has a job that requires endless energy. At 8 a.m. when most of us are stumbling toward the shower, Rabe is already in high gear, hosting his morning radio show: "Hot 100 FM."
So when that energy started to flag, he knew something was wrong.
Rabe had been expecting that day. When he was five years old, his mother had him tested for Alport syndrome.
"She told me, one day you'll probably need a new kidney," he remembers.
Alport syndrome is a rare genetic condition that eventually leads to kidney failure. It strikes just one in 50,000 children. Women can be carriers, but it's almost always men who get the disease.
Rabe's big sister Joan has had healthy kidneys. When that inevitable day came, she was there for him. They even had the same blood type.
"I was driving through Nebraska when she called and told me she was a match," he said. "I had to pull over and just think about that…I sat there and cried for a while."
Had it not been for his sister, Rabe would likely have had a long wait for a kidney.
His surgeon at Mayo Clinic, Mikel Prieto, MD, said that without a living donor, patients "need to go on a waiting list and typically wait a few years to get a transplant."
Kidneys from living donors are also typically healthier and last longer.

Toyota Industries Shuttles will be hoping for a considerable improvement on the previous campaign when they narrowly edged Mitsubishi Dynaboars 33-22 in the promotion/relegation play-off to secure a fifth consecutive season in the Top League.
New head coach Leon Holden, promoted from forwards coach, has a big task on his hands this season to ensure that Shuttles don't endure an equally miserable 2017-18 campaign.
Francois Brummer has joined from Bulls and will provide competition at no.10 for young Sam Greene and captain Manato Hasegawa. Australian no.8 Peter Kimlin, meanwhile, will add much needed experience to Shuttles' back row.

The Day of the Jackal (film)
1973 film by Fred Zinnemann
The Day of the Jackal is a 1973 film about a professional assassin codenamed "Jackal" who plots to kill Charles de Gaulle, the President of France.
Directed by Fred Zinnemann. Written by Kenneth Ross, based on the the novel by Frederick Forsyth.
Nameless, faceless...relentlessly moving towards the date with death that would rock the world. taglines
The JackalEdit
This is a once in a lifetime job. Whoever does it can never work again.
Col. Rodin: We are not terrorists, you understand. We are patriots. Our duty is to the soldiers who've died fighting in Algeria, and to the three million French citizens who have always lived there.
The Jackal: And so you want to get rid of him.
Col. Rodin: [after a pause] Speaking as a professional, do you think it's possible?
The Jackal: It's possible. The point is getting away with it. And speaking as a professional, that's a very important consideration.
The Jackal: You see, gentlemen, not only have your own efforts failed, but you've rather queered the pitch for everyone else.
Casson: How dare you suggest that?
The Jackal: In this work you simply can't afford to be emotional. That's why you've made so many mistakes.
Col. Rodin: But if we decided to employ a professional...
The Jackal: You have to employ a professional. Your organization is so riddled with informants that nothing you decide is a secret for long.
The Jackal: Half a million. In cash. Half in advance, and half on completion.
Montclair: Half a million francs?
The Jackal: Dollars.
Montclair: Are you mad?
The Jackal: Considering you expect to get France in return, I'd have thought it a reasonable price.
The Jackal: How many people know about this?
Rodin: Just the four of us.
The Jackal: Let's keep it that way. This job depends on absolute secrecy. No notes must be kept. If any one of you is captured, I shall feel free to call it off. I suggest you go somewhere and remain there under heavy guard until the job is done. Agreed?
Rodin: Agreed.
The Jackal: The planning will be mine. Here's the number of my account in Switzerland. When I receive word that the first $250,000 has been deposited, I'll move - provided I'm ready. But I'll not be hurried or interfered with in any way.
The Gunsmith: Over what range will you fire?
The Jackal: I'm not sure yet but probably not more than 400 feet.
The Gunsmith: Will the gentleman be moving?
The Jackal: Stationary.
The Gunsmith: Will you go for a head shot or a chest shot?
The Jackal: Probably head.
The Gunsmith: What about the chance of a second shot?
The Jackal: Well I might get the chance but I doubt it. In any event I'll need a silencer to escape.
The Gunsmith: In that case you'd better have explosive bullets. I can prepare a handful along with the gun.
The Jackal: Glycerin or mercury?
The Gunsmith: Oh mercury... much cleaner.
Caron: But no crime has been committed yet, so where are we supposed to start looking for the criminal?
Lebel: We start by recognizing that, after De Gaulle, we are the two most powerful people in France.
Mallinson: The prime minister?
Insp. Thomas: The prime minster, sir. That he said if there's the remotest possibility of General de Gaulle's life being threatened by a person of these islands, then it is to be stopped. And he's given me full powers and top priority.
Mallinson: Is this some kind of bloody joke?
Insp. Thomas: No, of couse not, sir. I've got to drop whatever I'm doing, and I shall need six of your best men, straight away.
Mallinson: Where's the notification for all this? Where's the proper authority? [Telephone rings. Mallison answers] Yes! [Mallison listens then rises] Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Of course, sir.
Lebel: Excuse me, but it has just occurred to me that we have forty-eight hours in which to find this Jackal.
[There is a chorus of "What?" and "How do you know?" from the committee members]
Lebel: Am I right in assuming that the President has no engagements outside the Elysee Palace today, tomorrow and Saturday?
Minister: None.
Lebel: And what is Sunday, August the twenty-fifth?
Minister: [Slaps forehead] Of course! Liberation Day!
Lebel: That's what he's been waiting for.
Minister: We must have been blind.
Nameless, faceless...relentlessly moving towards the date with death that would rock the world.
The Jackal spent 71 days, 56 minutes thinking a bullet into the brain of de Gaulle.

There is a critical need to modernize the way electricity is generated and delivered from suppliers to customers. The current system is highly vulnerable to disruptions from equipment failure, natural disasters, and attacks; it is susceptible to costly power outages and brownouts; and it does not efficiently integrate renewable energy into the grid.
Switched Source LLC, a MSU startup and recent $1.5M ARPA-E grant recipent has launched the technology to change the current system.
Developed by MSU Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Professor Dr. Fang Peng, Switched Source's unified power flow controller (UPFC) technology cost-effectively integrates more renewable electricity into the existing power grid. It enhances the grid's efficiency and reliability, improving its resiliency to possible disruptions, generating potential cost savings of up to 40 percent.
The UPFC eliminates the need for separate and expensive transformers and transition lines. The innovative controller manages power flows from renewable energy systems more effectively, assimilating more renewable energy into the grid than current transformer-based controllers.
Supported in part by multiple awards from the U.S. Department of Emergy Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), this technology was licensed from MSU by Switched Source in 2017 and is currently promoting the technology around the United States.
This company is one of the suite of six startups lauched at MSU in the 2016-2017 year.

Caere (římský název) označuje zaniklé etruské město ve středoitalském regionu Lazio, původně ležící na jihu Etrurie, přibližně 50–60 km severozápadně od Říma. Dochovalo se jako rozsáhlá starověká etrusko-římská archeologická lokalita v sousedství současného italského města Cerveteri (latinsky Caere Vetus).

Názvy
Etruskové své město označovali Cisra, Chaire nebo Chaisre, Řekové Agylla, Římané Caere a Italové Cerveteri.

Poloha
Město bylo založeno v úrodné krajině, na plošině z vápencového tufu, ve výšce kolem 80 metrů nad Tyrhénským mořem. Obtékaly je řeky Mola a Manganello, které asi po 8 kilometrech ústily do moře. Oblast je světoznámá díky rozsáhlé archeologické lokalitě se třemi etruskými nekropolemi.

Historie
Podle legendy zaznamenané dějepiscem Hérodotem založili sídlo při své invazi řečtí thesálští útočníci. Proti nim bojovali Tyrhénci (tj. Etruskové), kteří se spojili s Kartaginci v úspěšné bitvě proti Fókajcům v Sardinském moři (asi roku 535 př. n. l.). Navzdory svému spojenectví s Tarquinií získalo Caere v roce 353 př. n. l. za vojenskou pomoc proti Galům statut svobodného římského města s plnoprávnými občany (statut se latinsky označoval Civitas sine suffragio). Blahobyt města plynul z jeho úspěšného hospodářství, v němž byly důležité příjmy z rudných dolů v pohoří Tolfa. Koncem 3. století př. n. l. (roku 293 nebo 273) Římané potlačili vzpouru Etrusků a zbavili Caere nezávislosti. Strategicky důležitou polovinu jejího území podél pobřeží zabrali pro stavbu čtyř nových kolonií (Fregenae, Alsium, Pyrgi a Castrum Novum). Tak v římské císařské době došlo k úpadku někdejší etruské metropole na úroveň vesnice, jak popsal řecký historik a zeměpisec Strabón.

Archeologická lokalita
Ze starověkého města je známo nejméně šest chrámů, z nichž dva byly vykopány: první takzvaný chrám Manganellona byl zjištěn na severním hřebenu lokality, druhý je chrám bohyně Héry, podle dochovaných malovaných nápisů jej navštěvovali řečtí obchodníci. První vykopávky se uskutečnily již v počátcích archeologie kolem poloviny 18. století a odhalily rozsáhlé římské budovy: divadlo, sloupový portikus a Augusteum (nyní zasypané). Některé úseky římských městských hradeb a staveb ze 4. století př. n. l. jsou dodnes patrné a volně přístupné. Zmapování uliční sítě města a dalších staveb probíhá pomocí geofyzikálních metod od 90. let 20. století dosud. Nejvýraznějšími etruskými stavbami v lokalitě jsou postupně budovaná tři pohřebiště s mohylami, stavěnými z kamenných kvádrů, krytými hliněným náspem, s vnitřními prostorami a chodbami. Nejbohatší poklady byly ukryty v nich. Jsou to:
 Banditaccia – největší, nejvýše položený vrch v severozápadní části města, mohyly Tumulos, artefakty z doby 700–300 př. n. l.,
 Monte Abatone –
 Sorbo – leží na svahu stejnojmenného kopce

 Poklad etruských šperků V mohylách byla dosud identifikována desítka hrobek. Hrobky mají výraznou malovanou výzdobu a podle malovaných nápisů byly nazvány. Zatím nejvýznamnější nálezový soubor zlatých šperků pochází z hrobky Regolini-Galassi z 1. poloviny 7. století př. n. l., posloužil jako inspirace tvůrcům v období neoklasicismu a ve viktoriánské Anglii, např. římskému šperkaři Fortunatovi Piovi Castellanimu a jeho synům.

Ready! Steady! Get your lazy arse GOING!
Seriously I actually followed the training plan today & did both running & strength workout!
My Run was actually quite hard, and I'm sad to say it's probably because I've been so lazy recently, but 8 sets of 400m runs with a minute walk in between was tougher than it should have been. I got progressive slower each quarter mile and if it wasn't for the bottle of water I took, I might have just died in the park. Still there's time yet until the Great Manchester 10k & even more time till the Guild Marathon.
I've also said I'll join my friend @OpenSourceress in completing Tough Mudder this November. You should have heard about Tough Mudder by now.
But bear in mind we're doing it in England. In November.
There will be Mud & Swearing and more Mud & Cold.
← Marathon Number Two! Join me?

With 420 around the corner, do you know where the origin of the word started. Was it a term for the police to reference "marijuana smoking in progress", was it to celebrate hitlers birthday, or Bob Marleys death. How was the band Grateful Dead part of taking the term 420 internationally. 420 is here to stay and use each day at 4:20pm. Happy toking.

Lost interest thanks to sabotage/exclusion of Polaris
Here's one of the great ironies of Tom Brevoort going out of his way to keep Polaris out of Marvel and X-Men events: he's kept me from developing an interest in characters he wants people to develop an interest in.
I was a HUGE fan of Polaris x Scarlet Witch possibilities. If the Axis forced retcon hadn't severed their connection, I would've read the Scarlet Witch solo. Even then, if she had showed up for an issue or two, I would've read it.
If Marvel had used and promoted both Polaris and Enchantress for Axis, and other events, I would've been interested in seeing those two play off each other.
Same goes for Luminous. Instead of complaining about how she exists to try to replace Polaris, I would've been promoting what could be done between Polaris and Luminous.
These are just three characters out of many, many other characters at Marvel that I could have developed more of an interest in and bought content of.
I read the entire Magneto solo run solely on the premise that even if it didn't have Lorna show up at some point, it was so focused on Magneto that it would at least inform me on his issues and how they might related to Polaris. I could have done the same thing for Scarlet Witch. I could have done the same thing for Enchantress. I could have done the same thing for Luminous.
In all three cases, I could've promoted things they were in, leading to fan interest, more fan involvement, more readers. And no, I don't think I have some crazy powerful sway in public that other people don't. I just know that every voice matters, and changing even just one person's mind can have a powerful cascade effect.
But, Brevoort didn't do that. I don't blame Brevoort for Axis because I know Ike Perlmutter above him was the one behind that change, but I do rightfully blame Brevoort for everything else he's done to undermine and exclude Polaris. I've lost interest in some of the very characters he wants to promote, all because he cares more about giving in to his hate for the character than taking advantage of Polaris' potential and making the most of it.
Maybe I'll develop an interest in these characters some day. But by all appearances, it's going to take someone else at Marvel with a better creative and business philosophy than Brevoort's.

By the same logic that you just used to justify a Karnak solo series were is my Polaris solo series?
brevoortformspring:
Different person from the anon.
As much as I'd love a Polaris solo and think it'd do amazing if handled right, I've seen enough to know Marvel won't be ready for a Polaris solo for a decade or two.
I'm not saying the good things done for her lately have no value. Origin story, leading her own team, interacting with her brother and sister (as brief as it was), the Secret Wars cameos including an excellent House of M #3 for her, all of those and more have been great steps forward.
But for a Polaris solo to happen, she needs support and options.
As far as options, her brother and sister are now off-limits. That immediately kills a whole host of potential stories. Further, Marvel's using the Terrigen Mists to make the most important parts of its universe too toxic for the X-Men franchise to be involved. That means Lorna is limited in where she can go and what she can do.
As far as support, I've seen Marvel's lack of marketing for Lorna's big moments over the past 6 years. Both Lorna's origin story in X-Factor #243 and her girls' day out with Wanda in All-New X-Factor #14 went unpromoted. Every Magnus family interaction in major Marvel events from 2010 until Secret Wars excluded her. This is just the most important and obvious bits, not going into finer details.
Any argument of "We have limited resources, we have to put them where they're needed most" makes my point. If the second woman to join the X-Men getting her origin story told after over 40 years without one isn't promotion-worthy, then that says current Marvel doesn't value her much at all. If Marvel doesn't value her, then it won't support a book dedicated to her. If it won't support a book dedicated to her, then it won't launch one for her in the first place.
I think a Polaris solo with real promotion and all its options on the table would sell like crazy, and I think Secret Wars House of M proves that. I think the sudden discovery of Lorna by non-readers, learning a character as amazing as her has existed for over 40 years and they had no idea, would bring a big boost to sales all across Marvel – especially for family and any other characters closely associated with her.
Fans and potential readers have been ready for Lorna for at least two years now. But for a solo to happen, Marvel needs to be ready for her, and
it's not. Marvel hasn't reached that point yet. I'll appreciate the good
things done for her while waiting for that day to come, though.
"It's Just a Comic Book"
peppermonster:
>The Scarlet Witch/Pietro/Magneto family fandom is of course very nervous about these "revelations" coming. Sure you are victim of trolling. You are guilty of trolling back, to people who had legitimate concerns. Throwing out there that their pasts have been unstable in the past is dismissive and patronizing. Like we don't know about Whizzer and Miss America, or the fact Wanda's last name was Frank for many years, like you are somehow judging us as not real fans based on our obscure knowledge of the characters we love. You can understand how that would frustrate and infuriate a fandom that is already hurting and worried, that consists of a high percentage of female readers who already face the "fake geek girl" testing every day of our lives.
The Marvel target reading audience is 18-35 years old, yes? For the last 30 years the twins have been the children of Erik, and pretty much every story focusing on them has revolved around that fact. So for the entirety of our reading lives, this has been the one and only canon. Sure, many of us read backwards and read their confusing and convoluted backstory before the retcon. Its understandable why there was a retcon. To argue "Magneto being their father was a retcon too, lest you forget!" is (again) patronizing, and also a false analogy. To compare the necessary clearing and streamlining of their fractured backstory is not the same thing as taking (as you acknowledge) their relatively stable canon of the last 30 years and changing it out of the blue. Magneto Rex, Magneto Not a Hero, House of M, Children's Crusade, all these stories revolve around their family dynamic and shape the characters and even the world around them. They are compelling character driven stories with the twins dealing with Erik being their father. Countless stories of Pietro being compared to Erik, how they look alike, but act so differently (Magneto Rex) or how the "apple doesn't fall far from the tree" (House of M) and all the in-between. The same cannot be said about Whizzer. His time as their father is not a fair comparison. To bring that up is dismissive.
With all that said, yes, I cancelled all my Marvel titles and am reevaluating whether or not I want to support this company from here. I am a strong opponent of Marvel/Disney synergy between film and comic. The movies are different than the comics, that is something as a fan I am capable of dealing with. Disney white-washing my favorite characters was insulting and upsetting, but it's Disney, so antisemitism is kind of expected. Making them not mutants/Erik's kids was a clear cut case of licensing rights. I was dealing just fine with that change at least, because it's just a movie. I would just pretend in my head that "miracles" are "mutants" and carry on. But changing the comics to reflect the movies? That is not how it's supposed to be. Movies are supposed to be based off the comics, not the other way around. That should never be the case, and therefore unforgivable. Do not even try to argue this is not coming down from Disney/Marvel to tie the movies to the comics in a way that would explain their newest characters while alienating the comic properties Fox owns. They want these fabled "new readers" trickling in from the films to pick up a comic and have a story like their movies, and not tie into the Fox films. So no more Magneto. It's so transparent its insulting. What are the numbers to defend this decision? The comic book growth directly linked to movie viewers turn readers influx that warrants turning your backs on established readers? I have been giving Marvel my money for over 20 years. I own everything and anything with the twins in it, even when the writing and/or art has been bad…you guys have been taking and taking and taking my money, and the second I feel I will be rewarded by this with a focus on my favorite D-list Speedster, and his sister who has been torn down worse than the Amazon rain forrest by Bendis, with new stories, you people do THIS? Only to be handed this crap? Really? Is Disney/Marvel that upset that Quicksilver single-handedly sold tickets to Days of Future Past that they have to destroy the character and his backstory for them? They already killed off their dollar maker Wolverine. *side-eye*
So you are going to say "This isn't the movies" (even though it clearly is) and it's just some kind of "natural progression of the characters" (it isn't) and you are going to tell me to "give it a chance" (without giving me any reason to) and then dismiss this as just a fan who can't "handle change"?
I deal with change all the time. I'm an X-men fan. You think anything I love or enjoy has ever been stable or exempt from change? From Genosha to Decimation, the deaths of Nightcrawler to Charles Xavier, nothing has ever been ok, nothing has ever been safe. But the change to the status quo and deaths are a pendulum, always swinging one way or another, nothing is ever permanent, except retcons. Changing the past is totally different than sending the future off in a different direction. Changing a character's parentage, ethnicity, race, and identity (in this case quite possibly not making them mutants) casts a different light on everything ever written about them. (ALL MY TRADING CARDS ARE WRONG!!!) Every scene with Pietro calling Erik "father" with that little drip of disdain is now painful. Every artist who drew him as a mini-magneto now looks like a fool. Every time the twins were persecuted as a minority to only now not be one is a slap to the face of the representation they gave so many people in comics. Representation matters. Are you people at Marvel aware of this? I sort of think you people do not. Or at least do not care.
All I can hope for is that Rick Remender (god save us all) writes something that can be easily retconed later by a better writer who agrees this is a disaster. Wanda just needs to rewrite reality again. I was hopeful for a Scarlet Witch solo since I was 10 years old. (Vision and Scarlet Witch doesn't count, she was second billed in her own damn comic) but now I honestly want Disney/Marvel to leave her alone. I really want to go back to the time when I and maybe 30 other people in the world who even gave a crap about Quicksilver and Wanda was hated by everyone except, like, another 30 people, and I can just have my little broken family and be happy.
Now we do not have that.
I have been thinking long and hard as to how Disney/Marvel intends to bastardize their backstory. I thought maybe they could be creations of Chthon specifically as vessels for him to possess to gain access to our dimension (Which would explain why he won't stop possessing the twins) and with Chthon being a rumored villain for the Dr Strange film, it would be an easy tie-in. There has always been an issue with the age of the twins, being born in 1948 but only being 30 years old today. The High Evolutionary putting them in stasis was always the accepted canon for this. Magda is still listed on the Marvel Wiki as the mother of the twins while Erik has been removed as the father. Immaculate conception by Chthon and intervened by High Evolutionary because he was like "oh hell-naw" and froze them so Chthon would not cause a mess on his mountain is one theory. The fact that Bova lied though has me feeling personally violated. This whole situation has been giving me (and many fans) a real identity crisis. This sort of existential crisis is rough. Some people have said to me "It's just a comic" but those people are clearly people who have never literally relied on comics to live. Comics have kept me from killing myself, kept me from feeling alone, and I strongly identify with particular characters. Their pains are my pains. It feels like, at 30, I too am finding out I'm adopted and its devastating. This doesn't mean writers and editors have to handle everything they work on with baby gloves because a small number of us are emotionally unstable. But how many times do i have to suffer Wanda being raped? Pietro being emotionally abused? How many friends do I have to see turn their backs on the twins before it hurts too much and it stops being "entertainment" much less an escape?
I do not expect you at all to tell me what is going to happen. But you could try to be a little more proactive with your answers. Sure, answer trolls with gifs of a dog dragging it's anus across a rug. It's hilarious. But when a fan comes to you with legitimate concerns and looking for reassurance that everything will people Ok, you really should give them at least one kind sentence. i think you own us that much. People came you you worried about Lorna, and you didn't mention she is going over to the Magneto title? (Because that's an X-men title, and that is not in Disney/Marvel's interest in promoting it, I get it) but to simply say "stay tuned" is….infuriating. Say something like "The team working on the book are huge Wanda fans" or "The team has a lot of experience with complex character driven plots, they will handle this with grace and care" sure, we all know those are lies because this is Remember we are talking about but you couldn't give us lies to make the pain less?
That is why I'm unable to support Disney/Marvel at this time. I'm too emotionally fragile to watch Wanda raped and murdered and torn apart again. I'm too protective of Pietro to watch him suffer from more alienation from his broken family after all the beautiful progress he just had in All New X-factor with Lorna under Peter David's beautiful hand.
I just felt the need to try and explain our community's concerns and feelings, and tell you it's not what you said, but how you said it that is at least two thirds ate problem.
I don't want to have to retire my favorite cosplay, but already I have had three men ask me "Hey, did you know!? Wanda isn't Magneto's daughter!" showing 1) men really do not believe women read comics, and 2) I can never escape this. I can't retreat into my back issues and be selective as to what I accept as canon. Because I can never express my fandom publicly without this new canon coming up. I really wish I could walk away from this feeling better having gotten some of this off my chest. But, honestly, I feel like in the end, your hands are just as tied as mine, and nothing can be said or done to make this hurt less.

This is clearly an important issue to you, based on your Tweets and what you've written here. And because of that, I don't know that there's anything that I'm going to be able to say to you that's going to make you feel better. I would point out that Marvel has a long history of making stories that people care about, and your connection with these characters is proof of that. So trust in the good intentions of those involved, and everything will work out. Or don't, that's completely up to you.
The one thing I must take issue with is your insistence that this storyline is some Disney-mandated thing, and that no amount of people stating the contrary will convince you otherwise. Sarah, Disney has nothing to do with the content of this storyline, or really, with any of our storylines. Marvel is Marvel, and we go where we go because that is our choice. So while it's lovely to have an "evil empire" to blame this all on as a scapegoat, I must be forthright and tell you that you're smearing the wrong people, both in your mind and in public. If you want to be upset, be upset at us, the people responsible, and not the shadows that exist solely in your imagination.
Why didn't I mention that Lorna was going to be in MAGNETO? Because I'm not omniscient, and I didn't know that. We publish 70+ titles every month, and it is impossible for any one person to be absolutely up-to-date on the planning for each and every one of them. This is why we've got a whole editorial staff, rather than just a few people. But again, nothing to do with Disney or with any attempt to make people forget the X-Men or whatever. I'd be very happy if everybody ran out and bought a few more copies of MAGNETO—it's an excellent book.
I also must take issue with the fact that you dismiss the history of the characters you like from before your time as a reader as being irrelevant, and having no bearing on what new stories might be being planned now. This is what is known as "personal continuity"—you care about the stuff you read and that has meaning for you, but that's it. I'm sorry, but it is neither patronizing or dismissive to point out that, for the first twenty years of their existence, Wanda and Pietro had no familial connection with Magneto at all. Those twenty years may have been before you were reading, but that doesn't make them any less important. Also no less important are the readers who started reading before you did. Everybody is equal here, everybody's experiences carry the same weight.
You are making this personal to you in a way that it simply is not, and projecting your anger and your fear onto a bunch of people that aren't involved, and then reacting as though your fears are true.
Let us tell a story. There's always the crazy possibility that you'll like it. (Lorna wasn't Magneto's daughter either until a very few years ago, and you seem to have embraced that change.) And it's certainly possible that you won't like it, and that's all right, too.
I'm going to address this a little out of order, starting by saying "oops, typos, lawl" but from there, I'll mention the "Personal canon"…it's true, we all have one, and I realize i'm guilty of coming across as dismissive to older canon even tho that wasn't my intent. So there is my humble pie. It's easy to come across as dismissive even when calling someone out on being dismissive.
I actually adore the pre-1980's Twins, the one's with no family. Their uncertainty as to who they were, who their parent's really were, their search for answers. I loved that. I read that after the Magneto, because, well, I'm only 30. As I already admitted that canon has existed since just before I was born, much less reading, so that is pretty much unavoidable. But for reasons I myself cannot even explain, I read Pietro and became infatuated with him and his story. (Him of all people, right?) So I read his back story I went back and read whatever I could get my hands on, (Lots of discolored smokey back issues from the 10 cent bins) and I treasure those stories, as confusing and weird as all silver-age comics are, for what they were, and they were made special (to me and many) because they ultimately lead to the answer of "who am I?" with "Oh shit, I'm Magneto's son. Damn it." and I loved that. So my apologies, I did not mean to say those stories were without value, or those who had been reading longer/are older somehow have less value. I actually value them greatly, but for where they ended up, not for what they were on their own. But, again, that's the personal canon thing.
The Lorna bit next…Lorna is actually the ONLY reason I still have….hope. She wasn't Magneto's daughter. Then she was. Then she wasn't. Then she definitely was. Then she was definitively proven not to be (DNA test) then they were like "Oops, no, we were wrong, you totes are." So am I used to this? Oh yes, I am sooooo used to this. I always supported Lorna as a Magneto baby. Every time they un-daughtered her I would scream at my comic and just be like "WHY ARE YOU EVIL DUMB PEOPLE WRITING MY COMICS!" and then go pout in my room for a week, (I was, like, 12…and this is still my reaction…damn) The twins are not "Blood related" according to Wanda's spell, but her spells are wishy-washy at best with a spotty history of success, one having failed just five minutes before that spell for crying out loud, but I still hope they can be a family. There is no denying blood or not that that they have had life altering influence on one another and just finding out they are adopted can't un-do that. But reading Magneto Rex (and crying because I like to punish myself) there is never ending comparison of Pietro to Erik, about how much they look alike (ouch), about how they act so similar and so different at the same time (ouch). It hurts so much to read House of M. Children's Crusade? Ouch. Actually, Avenger's Academy hurt surprisingly hard, When Magneto shows up and banishes Pietro from future involvements from "Mutant affairs" and Pietro is like "They are my people" and I'm like "Oh baby, baby no, I don't think they actually are…" then…you know, crying.
Will I be able to accept these changes? Well, with time I might stop crying every time I think about them. That's a starter. My actual family all cosplaying the M family with me kinda hits close to home. My daddy is Magneto, I'm Wanda, my sister is Wanda…Having the House of M crest tattooed is…hella awkward now? I love this bunch of people (mutants, family, I don't even know) too much to truly turn by back on it. But I have friends who work at comic shops who will let me read their issues without paying, so I can keep up without giving Marvel money. If that is the path I choose to take. Because, in the end, I'm still not sure I want to support Marvel. This is like the New 52 reboot. I walked away from DC SO HARD after that. Haven't read DC since. Never underestimate a woman scorned, sir.
Anyways, you said Marvel isn't phasing out X-men. But out of the 74 new issues Marvel is publishing next March, only 13 are X-Men -4 of which are the new weekly Wolverines series. People say the movies do not influence the comics. People say they are not phasing out the x-men. People keep saying these things. Yet I watch these things happen, and I wonder if it is just some kind of crazy cosmic coincidence, or if people really think we're too dumb to notice.
Lastly, if you want to take the bullet instead of Disney, well, that is your prerogative. There is a call for a boycott of the Disney film but many of us want to continue to support the less stable and often struggling comics because we are, after all, fans. But if you want to say this is not the doing of Disney and purely Marvel's decision to take away the heritage of two of our most beloved Jewish Romani characters, then I will pass on the word to the blogs, and we will know where to best focus our revenue, or lack thereof.
I take this family very personally, but I do love a good story. Emphases on good. I cannot and will not speak for the whole fandom. There are some who are more upset, and less upset, and upset for different reasons. I open this up to them to add or take away from this what they need. But I can pass for a reasonable adult from time to time, and I managed to get through a really dark week where I came very close to taking my life. But The Maximoffs helped me through dark times in my past, I can help them through this dark time for them. Its the least I can do, because I owe them.
And I still have Thor. New Thor is why I wake up in the morning.
I have to say a few things here.
1) Either Brevoort's lying when he says the comics aren't being deliberately changed due to the conflict between Disney and Fox on movie rights, or people at Disney or at least people higher on the totem pole than Brevoort are playing him for a fool. I sincerely doubt the latter. We've seen the Fantastic Four comic canceled. We've seen Marvel also drastically cut the number of X-Men comics by half in a year (as the text above shows), and not give the X-Men franchise its own panel at San Diego Comic Con but give one to the Spider-Verse at a time when X-Men had more comics than Spider-Verse. We've seen every crossover event benefit the Avengers franchise and make the X-Men franchise worse off. These are no coincidence. These are planned, intentional, and insulting.
2) He's willing to take the blame and have it hit the comics because the comics are considered the lesser, inferior medium for Disney making money due to how both markets work. More to the point, the comics could be in the gutter making next to nothing and as long as whoever has power (in this case, Brevoort) tows the line and acts as a tank, Disney will support, keep and possibly even promote them. I've seen it many times, and this is how they operate.
Don't fall for the "it's exclusively our fault" shtick. It's not. The nicest possible interpretation I can see that would keep his claim intact – while keeping all the evidence in mind – is that Brevoort and the rest of the power players at Marvel really aren't being told by Disney to do these things, but the culture they're participating in implies that giving a big "screw you" to fans to do things that make the Disney suits happy will lead to rewards for the people that do it. Which, in turn, means that atmosphere is Disney's fault, or else Disney would do things to dissuade such an atmosphere from taking root.
3) Actions speak louder than words.
Brevoort tries to say a lot of pretty words to convince people of things. He's an editor high on the totem pole and extremely public, it's his job to know how to smooth talk the fans, make them feel like they're not being betrayed, and sow doubt into any plans to not give Marvel any money. And he has decades of experience he's drawing on when he does that.
If he wants people to trust his words, he and the rest of Marvel need to perform actions that make their words worth trusting. Otherwise, they're just the comic book editorial version of a snake oil salesman.
If he and the rest of Marvel want to tell a story, they can tell a story. But when it's a disrespectful, insulting and damaging story nobody asked for, one everyone is screaming should never have happened in the first place, it's no longer just "telling a story." It's throwing a big middle finger to fans while insisting it's just the sign language for "friend."
A company that cares about its fans doesn't talk like that and act that way. A company that cares about its fans does not dismissively tell them to "let us tell a story" and leave it at that. What a real company that actually cares about its fans does is hear them out, try to understand how they feel and do something to make it up to them. And that something isn't just "Here's an alternate universe where that thing is still intact, we'll secretly kill that alternate universe a couple years from now when we think we can get away with it, but enjoy it while it lasts!"

So, it's been forever since I wrote in this.
I applied for doctoral programs again. They were due December 1. With work on those and the start of holiday season, I've been pretty busy. The applications are in... and I've already received two rejections. Bummer. But whatever, I have two more. Fingers crossed.
Other big news: I paid the application fee for a spot in the 2012 Capital Fringe Festival. Guess that means I have to finish the application now... by January 6. I'm submitting Lilith, The Name on the Door, and... one other mini-opera from Fallen Angels, which hasn't been written yet. Yep. I still have a lot of work to do. Always.


Guys, you know I love an oil cleanser. They are my absolute favourite for removing my heavy makeup. Think waterproof eyeliner, mascara, lipstick. So when I saw the SEEH Skincare CLEANSE Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm in action on social media, I just knew I had to try it! I reached out to the very lovely Maker, Sophie to collaborate.
Sophie is a qualified Chemical Engineer with a passion for skin health, which is what led her on the path to creating SEEH Skincare. The range has been formulated with a bunch of Chemists in Sydney and are all natural, utilising Australian plants. SEEH Skincare also holds a PETA Certification.
The CLEANSE Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm can be used on its own as a daily cleanser with the addition of the SMOOTH Exfoliating Facial Polish to remove dead skin cells.
The Cleansing Balm is a massive 110g of solid goodness, with a little going a long way. As you work the balm into your skin you can see that it will start dissolving your makeup immediately. I love that I don't need to work the balm into my skin which allows me to be gentle, especially around the eye area.
Lots of yummy oils have gone into this such as apricot seed oil, rosehip and olive oil. It smells absolutely divine, with the use of mandarin, orange, bergamot and lavender essential oils. It is an extremely light smell, and not overpowering.
As I mentioned above, even with regular use I can see this lasting quite sometime making it great value. I enjoy using this in the evening to remove my makeup, however this can be used both morning and night.
The SEEH Skincare website states this is suitable for all skin types especially those with sensitive or dry skin.
The Facial Polish is a combination of Apricot Seed & Rice powder and works in harmony to remove dead skin. The ingredients won't harm the oceans and rivers as they are completely biodegradable.
The Exfoliating Facial Polish has been designed to be used with the Cleansing Balm. I placed a small amount of the Cleansing Balm into my palm then sprinkled the Facial Polish (only a little) over it. I then massage this into my skin in a circular motion.
The first time I used this, I was a tad too rough. I should have known better, I may have also sprinkled a little too much ha! So keep that in mind the first time you use this.
After using this, my skin feels clean and noticeably brighter. It doesn't feel tight which I put down to the Cleansing Balm working it's hydrating ways.
I've enjoyed using both of these products, especially the Cleansing Balm as I struggle to find cleansers that are able to remove my makeup easily. I also love that this is a vegan, cruelty-free brand made in Australia.
SEEH Skincare is also involved in an amazing initiative where $1 from every purchase is donated to i=Change which provides services to assist with safe births, keeps girls in school, empowers migrants and more.
You can find the products here https://www.seehskincare.com and also via Instagram @seehskincare. Free shipping on orders over $75 and AfterPay available.

No. 10 Michigan State Spartans at Northwestern Wildcats men's basketball preview

Share All sharing options for: No. 10 Michigan State Spartans at Northwestern Wildcats men's basketball preview
The No. 10 Michigan State Spartans return to the road and Big Ten action on Sunday afternoon when the team faces off against the Northwestern Wildcats at Welsh Ryan Arena in Evanston, Illinois. It will mark MSU's first true road game in almost a month when the Spartans defeated Minnesota 75-67 on Dec. 8.

— Michigan State Basketball (@MSU_Basketball) January 1, 2022
The game tomorrow marks the first for NU since a Dec. 20 win over Illinois-Springfield. The past two games for Northwestern have been canceled due to COVID-19 issues among opponents' programs. Michigan State, meanwhile, has played just two games over the past 20 days, but Sunday's contest kicks off the first in a three-game set spanning just seven days (Nebraska on Jan. 5 and Michigan on Jan. 8).
As for Northwestern's schedule, the Wildcats have been impressive in early action this season compared to preseason prediction. NU had a close loss to Providence (No. 41 in KenPom), falling 77-72, as part of the Legends Classic, as well as a 77-73 loss at Wake Forest (No. 64 in KenPom). In the Legends Classic, Northwestern also beat Georgia 78-62 and won at Maryland 67-61. The win over the Terrapins came just two days after Mark Turgeon and UMD parted ways, though. For mutual opponent comparison, Northwestern also beat High Point 95-60 in a home win on Nov. 12.
This season, the Wildcats' offense has run through senior forward Pete Nance. Nance ranks No. 10 in the Big Ten in scoring with 16.3 points per game. He also leads the team in rebounds (8.0 rpg) and blocks (2.0 bpg). Nance is one of four players for NU averaging double-figures, though.
Michigan State fans will be unhappy to know that junior guard Boo Buie remains on the roster for Northwestern. The past two games in Evanston have seen Buie go off for career-highs in both contests, scoring an average of 28 points. So far this season, Buie is second on the team in scoring with 14.9 points and leads the team in assists with 5.7 assists per game.
Guard Chase Audige is averaging 11.0 points per game and center Ryan Young is at 10.6 points per game to round out the double-figure scorers on offense. The offense is also efficient with ball security, as the team averages just 8.7 turnovers per game and shares the ball well with 19.1 assists per game (eighth-best in the country).
As a team, Northwestern's 79.0 points per game is the fourth-best scoring offense in the Big Ten, and the team leads the league in scoring defense at 60.8 points per game. In fact, NU has held five opponents to 60 or fewer points this season.
