Cool Tool Day
22/03/2011 § 3 Comments
Thanks to Bronwyn Guiton for this inspiring piece detailing how students at University of British Columbia hacked their LIS education.
Last fall, students at the School of Library, Archives, and Information Studies at University of British Columbia were invited to the school's first ever Cool Tool Day sponsored by the school's local ASIS&T chapter. The event was loosely inspired by TEDTalks, Ignite, and the tool/tip of the week segments on the TWiT network podcasts.
During the school's common lunch hour, students gathered in the computer classroom to hear or give 5-minute presentations on a tech tool that was making library school more interesting, more enriching, and/or more fun. Presenters had to keep to a strict 5-minute limit, (they could request a 10-minute slot in advance if needed in the sequel events). Afterwards, there were free snacks and coffee to encourage students to stick around and chat.
When I'm asked how library school is treating me, my standard line is: love the students; disappointed with the courses. Honestly, hanging out with fellow students and talking about our interests, hobbies, and obsessions inspires me the most.But it's not enough to moan about the bad (something I'm all too guilty of) and just occasionally recognize the good. In the spirit of Roy Tennant's Library Journal bit, I'm going to tell you about an event initiated by students at my library school.
Here's a link to a quick recap of the first Cool Tool Day. My own favourite tools included a demo of how to download audio versions of articles on WilsonWeb and some school-specific use-cases for Dropbox.
Cool Tool Day received positive feedback from participants and two encores showcasing new tools have followed.
The organizers used the school's listserv to advertise the event. They also used a wiki to sign up presenters, manage the tech needs for each presentation, and create a list of links for participants to refer to before, during, and afterwards.
Full credit goes to the ASIS&T student group that initiated Cool Tool Day. They maintain an active webpage with up to date contact info. A few of their members are on Twitter, including – @mahrialebow, @jjackunrau, @axfelix, and @daftkifty.
Cool Tool Day was a fun way to formalize those interesting conversations between library students about their favourite, interesting discoveries. For me, the event was the awesome tech course my library school doesn't offer. For the organizers, it was marketable event planning experience. Finally, because Cool Tool Day was a low-cost, crowd-sourced event, I recommend it as a model for library students to build upon at their own school.
So when's your next event?
Bronwyn loves Canadian politics but loathes the whole getting-elected-and-toeing-party-lines bit. She's becoming a law librarian instead. Bronwyn will receive her MLIS from UBC in Vancouver in June 2012. She's mildly obsessed with Tamora Pierce & Cooks Illustrated. Find her online: BronwynMaye.ca OR @BronwynMaye

First – I LOVE this idea!
Second – call me a spy, but I love reading this blog. It's really inspiring.
BUT, I admit, the poster's comment about "love[ing] the students; disappointed with the courses" resonated with me, both as a former LIS student, and as a current LIS adjunct.
I could have taught the tech-related classes I took in grad school, and far better than anyone teaching them. I also came to understand that classes in a master's level LIS program were not going to be the same kind of intellectually stimulating classes as those in my friends' PhD programs in other disciplines, but I realized I was learning to look at the world through the lens of a professional librarian, with an eye to how my patrons would use the resources I select for my library. (Definitely not something I'd thought about before!)
I would love to see more posts highlighting things that students could do to make LS engaging – maybe some of us on the other side could encourage other faculty to be more supportive or – shockingly – even incorporate change their classes!
[...] for coming to all the events we've had this year. Also thanks to Bronwyn for writing up such a nice post about our Cool Tool Days for HackLibSchool (which you should completely be reading if you're at [...]

I ordered the first of April, so in Colorado we still had a month of very cold nights. I have been able to start petunias, sunflowers, zinnias and herbs in the unit. On the very cold nights I secure a blanket and sheet over the top to hold in the day heat. I will use it to start fall crops. I also plan on wintering cold crops as well, it will get a homemade quilt with plastic windows.
I did have a few glitches with the products advertising and not getting what was shown. The hinges that are shown to hold the windows in place are not available. After many conversations with the more than friendly costumer service department we were able to work it out with 100 percent satisfaction. They really do provide you with a solution to make you want to do business again. I have used this company for 10 years.

- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
After enduring torture and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Fae War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she's mad. Just about the only bright spot in her life is the love she thinks she feels for vampire Eric Northman. But he's under scrutiny by the new vampire king because of their relationship. And, as the political implications of the shifters' coming-out are beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to one particular Were draws her into the dangerous debate. Also, unknown to her, though the door to Faery has been closed, there are still some fae on the human side-and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry.
The First Week
"I feel bad that I'm leaving you like this," Amelia said. Her eyes were puffy and red. They'd been that way, off and on, ever since Tray Dawson's funeral.
"You have to do what you have to do," I said, giving her a very bright smile. I could read the guilt and shame and ever-present grief roiling around Amelia's mind in a ball of darkness. "I'm lots better," I reassured her. I could hear myself babbling cheerfully along, but I couldn't seem to stop. "I'm walking okay, and the holes are all filled in. See how much better?" I pulled down my jeans waistband to show her a spot that had been bitten out. The teeth marks were hardly perceptible, though the skin wasn't quite smooth and was visibly paler than the surrounding flesh. If I hadn't had a huge dose of vampire blood, the scar would've looked like a shark had bitten me.
Amelia glanced down and hastily away, as if she couldn't bear to see the evidence of the attack. "It's just that Octavia keeps e-mailing me and telling me I need to come home and accept my judgment from the witches' council, or what's left of it," she said in a rush. "And I need to check all the repairs to my house. And since there are a few tourists again, and people returning and rebuilding, the magic store's reopened. I can work there part-time. Plus, as much as I love you and I love living here, since Tray died..."
"Believe me, I understand." We'd gone over this a few times.
"It's not that I blame you," Amelia said, trying to catch my eyes.
She really didn't blame me. Since I could read her mind, I knew she was telling me the truth.
Even I didn't totally blame myself, somewhat to my surprise.
It was true that Tray Dawson, Amelia's lover and a Were, had been killed while he'd been acting as my bodyguard. It was true that I'd requested a bodyguard from the Were pack nearest me because they owed me a favor and my life needed guarding. However, I'd been present at the death of Tray Dawson at the hands of a sword-wielding fairy, and I knew who was responsible.
So I didn't feel guilty, exactly. But I felt heartsick about losing Tray, on top of all the other horrors. My cousin Claudine, a full-blooded fairy, had also died in the Fae War, and since she'd been my real, true fairy godmother, I missed her in a lot of ways. And she'd been pregnant.
I had a lot of pain and regret of all kinds, physical and mental. While Amelia carried an armful of clothes downstairs, I stood in her bedroom, gathering myself. Then I braced my shoulders and lifted a box of bathroom odds and ends. I descended the stairs carefully and slowly, and I made my way out to her car. She turned from depositing the clothes across the boxes already stowed in her trunk. "You shouldn't be doing that!" she said, all anxious concern. "You're not healed yet."
"I'm fine."
"Not hardly. You always jump when someone comes into the room and surprises you, and I can tell your wrists hurt," she said. She grabbed the box and slid it into the backseat. "You still favor that left leg, and you still ache when it rains. Despite all that vamp blood."
"The jumpiness'll get better. As time passes, it won't be so fresh and at the front of my mind," I told Amelia. (If telepathy had taught me anything, it was that people could bury the most serious and painful of memories, if you gave them enough time and distraction.) "The blood is not just any vampire's. It's Eric's blood. It's strong stuff. And my wrists are a lot better." I didn't mention that the nerves were jumping around in them like hot snakes just at this moment, a result of their having been tied together tightly for several hours. Dr. Ludwig, physician to the supernatural, had told me the nerves — and the wrists — would be back to normal, eventually.
"Yeah, speaking of the blood . . ." Amelia took a deep breath and steeled herself to say something she knew I wouldn't like. Since I heard it before she actually voiced it, I was able to brace myself. "Had you thought about... Sookie, you didn't ask me, but I think you better not have any more of Eric's blood. I mean, I know he's your man, but you got to think about the consequences. Sometimes people get flipped by accident. It's not like it's a math equation."
Though I appreciated Amelia's concern, she'd trespassed into private territory. "We don't swap," I said. Much. "He just has a sip from me at, you know . . . the happy moment." These days Eric was having a lot more happy moments than I was, sadly. I kept hoping the bedroom magic would return; if any male could perform sexual healing, that male would be Eric.
Amelia smiled, which was what I'd been aiming for. "At least..."
She turned away without finishing the sentence, but she was thinking, At least you feel like having sex.
I didn't so much feel like having sex as I felt like I ought to keep trying to enjoy it, but I definitely didn't want to discuss that. My ability to cast aside control, which is the key to good sex, had been pinched out of existence during the torture. I'd been absolutely helpless. I could only hope that I'd recover in that area, too. I knew Eric could feel my lack of completion. He'd asked me several times if I was sure I wanted to engage in sex. Nearly every time, I said yes, operating on the bicycle theory. Yes, I'd fallen off. But I was always willing to try to ride it again.
"So, how's the relationship doing?" she said. "Aside from the whoopee." Every last thing was in Amelia's car. She was stalling, dreading the moment when she actually got into her car and drove away.
It was only pride that was keeping me from bawling all over her.
"I think we're getting along pretty well," I said with a great effort at sounding cheerful. "I'm still not sure what I feel as opposed to what the bond is making me feel." It was kind of nice to be able to talk about my supernatural connection to Eric, as well as my regular old man-woman attraction. Even before my injuries during the Fae War, Eric and I had established what the vampires called a blood bond, since we'd exchanged blood several times. I could sense Eric's general location and his mood, and he could feel the same things about me. He was always faintly present in the back of my mind — sort of like turning on a fan or an air filter to provide a little buzz of noise that would help you get to sleep. (It was good for me that Eric slept all day, because I could be by myself at least part of the time. Maybe he felt the same way after I went to bed at night?) It wasn't like I heard voices in my head or anything — at least no more than usual. But if I felt happy, I had to check to make sure it was me and not Eric who felt happy. Likewise for anger; Eric was big on anger, controlled and carefully banked anger, especially lately. Maybe he was getting that from me. I was pretty full of anger myself these days.
I'd forgotten all about Amelia. I'd stepped right into my own trough of depression.
She snapped me out of it. "That's just a big fat excuse," she said tartly. "Come on, Sookie. You love him, or you don't. Don't keep putting off thinking about it by blaming everything on your bond. Wah, wah, wah. If you hate the bond so much, why haven't you explored how you can get free of it?" She took in the expression on my face, and the irritation faded out of her own. "Do you want me to ask Octavia?" she asked in a milder voice. "If anyone would know, she would."
"Yes, I'd like to find out," I said, after a moment. I took a deep breath. "You're right, I guess. I've been so depressed I've put off making any decisions, or acting on the ones I've already made. Eric's one of a kind. But I find him . . . a little overwhelming." He was a strong personality, and he was used to being the big fish in the pond. He also
knew he had infinite time ahead of him.
I did not.
He hadn't brought that up yet, but sooner or later, he would.
"Overwhelming or not, I love him," I continued. I'd never said it out loud. "And I guess that's the bottom line."
"I guess it is." Amelia tried to smile at me, but it was a woeful attempt. "Listen, you keep that up, the self-knowledge thing." She stood for a moment, her expression frozen into the half smile. "Well, Sook, I better get on the road. My dad's expecting me. He'll be all up in my business the minute I get back to New Orleans."
Amelia's dad was rich, powerful, and had no belief in Amelia's power at all. He was very wrong not to respect her witchcraft. Amelia had been born with the potential for the power in her, as every true witch is. Once Amelia had some more training and discipline, she was going to be really scary — scary on purpose, rather than because of the drastic nature of her mistakes. I hoped her mentor, Octavia, had a program in place to develop and train Amelia's talent.
After I waved Amelia down the driveway, the broad smile dropped from my face. I sat on the porch steps and cried. It didn't take much for me to be in tears these days, and my friend's departure was just the trigger now. There was so much to weep about.
My sister-in-law, Crystal, had been murdered. My brother's friend Mel had been executed. Tray and Claudine and Clancy the vampire had been killed in the line of duty. Since both Crystal and Claudine had been pregnant, that added two more deaths to the list.
Probably that should have made me long for peace above all else. But instead of turning into the Bon Temps Gandhi, in my heart I held the knowledge that there were plenty of people I wanted dead. I wasn't directly responsible for most of the deaths that were scattered in my wake, but I was haunted by the feeling that none of them would have happened if it weren't for me. In my darkest moments — and this was one of them — I wondered if my life was worth the price that had been paid for it.
We left Sookie in a pretty sad place at the end of Dead and Gone, and I think all your readers are hoping that she will pull through her awful experiences and come back as the same spunky telepath we all love. Does she get any time to recuperate in Dead in the Family? What's in store for Sookie in this book?
Sookie goes through her physical recuperation at the beginning of the book, and I think she's recovering mentally through the book. But of course, life and death keep happening around her. Bless her heart.
To whose family, or families, does the title of Dead in the Family refer? Any surprises?
I certainly hope there are a lot of surprises. There are several families included in the story; Bill's family, Eric's family, Sookie's family. I think some of the family members will startle the readers.
Amelia, Sookie's roommate, who thinks more of her powers as a witch than perhaps she should, has a lot of fans. Can you tell us anything about her future?
Amelia, as the beginning of the book makes clear, is returning to New Orleans to try to restart her life there. She's left too many loose ends to stay in Bon Temps. She'll recur in Sookie's life.
And so does Bill, although he and Sookie have been broken up for most of the series at this point. A lot of people—myself included—keep hoping they'll end up together again. Are we just being naive fangirls, or is there any hope left for Sookie and Bill?
There's always hope.
The Fellowship of the Sun, a vampire-hating cult, is full of such believable and diabolical villains. Will we see them again?
Sure. I love a good villain, and the Fellowship is full of 'em.
The HBO series True Blood is delectable, but it certainly differs from your novels in parts of the plot and some characterizations. When you watch the show, what representations most pleased you, and what most surprised you?
I love the show, too, and I'm glad it's different from the books. That way I don't get bored. I'm happy with ALL the casting, there's not a one I would change. I was very surprised about the plot change that resulted in Jessica's being brought over, but I think she's a great character.You've also written a mystery series for Berkley Prime Crime about sleuth Harper Connelly, who can sense the location of a person's death and their last moments, making her life as an investigator for the families of the deceased very interesting—and dangerous. For fans who haven't discovered the series that started with Grave Sight, can you tell us a bit more about it?
As you said, it's more of a mystery based series, with a dash of the supernatural. The Harper Connelly books are travelling books. Harper and her companion Tolliver go to a new town in every book. Harper, while trying to solve the current murder in each book, is also anxious to find out what happened to her sister, who disappeared years before. And she's struggling to make a life for herself despite the terrible upbringing she and Tolliver, her stepbrother, endured.
In fact, you were published as a mystery writer for more than 20 years before you began the Sookie series. Would your advice to an aspiring author looking to break into publishing differ depending on the genre they wanted to write?
No. If you want to be the best writer you can be—and who doesn't?—you need to read, read, read, and then sit down, take a deep breath, and write. At first it won't be good. It's hard work to become the writer you want to be.
You just had your first book tour through Europe! Can you share some of your favorite moments? What did fans of Sookie from across the pond seem to most want to know?
Actually, my fans in other countries wanted to know exactly the same things my fans here want to know! My favorite moment came in Poland, when some of my younger fans curtsied to me. I loved it. And meeting some wonderful journalists and a great radio personality, Rosaria Renna, in Italy, I enjoyed that. In Portugal, my publishers took me to Sintra, which was amazing. And England—well, I just loved being in England.
Any final thoughts to share with your readers?
I hope you all enjoy the continuation of Sookie's adventures, and I look forward to seeing you on tour and hearing from you on the website when the book is out.

Listen to Grammy Radio on iHeartRadio
(UPI) - Country music star Carrie Underwood wore $31 million in Johnathon Arndt diamonds on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles Sunday.

Underwood wore a necklace that featured 381 carats of oval, pear, marquise and round brilliant white diamonds from the 2013 Johnathon Arndt Collection, the Beverly Hills, Calif., jeweler said in a news release.
The loaner bauble must have been good luck: Underwood won the Grammy for Best Country Song for her hit "Blown Away."

No. 24: Miami (Fla.)
By Paul Myerberg // Aug 10, 2011
There were some strong words early in his tenure from Al Golden, Miami's first-year coach, regarding how he'll fill and maintain his team's depth chart: "It's not going to be where you screw around all week and start on Saturday anymore." Anymore suggests this was happening before, under Randy Shannon, Golden's predecessor, which should firmly place a stake in the heart of his tenure with the program. Nice guys don't always finish last; they just did in Shannon's case, though last is a bit strong — Miami might not have finished first under his watch, but they certainly didn't finish last. Golden's tough talk had better not be merely for show, however: he needs to back up his bark with some bite, or he'll find his bluster will quickly fall on deaf ears. And he needs to deliver, badly needs to make it work, because Miami is in very real danger of losing its place at the table among the nation's elite programs.

Last year's prediction
Yet let's be clear: a repeat of last year's 9-3 record would not mark a lack of development, let alone a step back under Shannon's watch. A 9-3 season that includes greater consistency on the defensive side of the ball, more balance on offense and the development of Miami's still-young roster would be a success, in my opinion. Of course, with the talent and youth on this roster, Miami could be far better: perhaps 10 wins, less likely 11. On the other hand, if a young pieces don't develop… well, Miami could be ranked far too high entering the season. An explosion — an A.C.C. crown, a renaissance — is far more likely than a decline.
2010 recap
In a nutshell It was time. Miami could only settle for mediocrity for so long, for weak recruiting, for shockingly inept clock management, for poor player development, for all the things that made Randy Shannon seem like one of the most incapable coaches on the B.C.S. conference level. So what's next? Golden, of course, formerly of Temple, tasked with bringing Miami back to the forefront of the A.C.C., if not the entire country. Good luck, coach. What he has to work with: talent, experience and a program that still carries cachet in certain circles. What he does not have is your typically confidence-laden Miami team of old, and the mental overhaul that lies ahead will be Golden's strongest test. He also needs to make sure the Hurricanes play with far more consistency, as last year's squad had the talent, the offense and the defense to do far better than seven wins. And that's why Shannon has left the building.
High point On a Thursday night in late September, Miami went into Pittsburgh and completely dominated the Panthers, beating by 28 points a team most expected to win the Big East. Like Miami, Pittsburgh turned out to be a pretender. Nevertheless, the win felt great at the time.
Low point Losing at home to U.S.F. to end the season, overtime or no. Not that the writing wasn't already on the wall for Shannon, but this loss clinched it: Miami had to make a change. Another solid pick would have been a 45-17 loss to Florida State, which made another thing official: the Seminoles rule the roost.
Tidbit The Hurricanes ended last season ranked first in the A.C.C. in total offense, averaging 422.5 yards per game, and third in total defense, allowing 323.3 yards per game. How many other B.C.S. conference teams ended the year ranked in their respective conference's top three in both categories? Try five: West Virginia, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Stanford and Alabama. Perhaps we can remove West Virginia, as it's easier for the Mountaineers to rise into the top three of an eight-team conference. If we take that step, you could have placed the Hurricanes in the same group as a Sugar Bowl participant, a Rose Bowl participant, an Orange Bowl participant and a 10-win team coached by Nick Saban. How did Miami go 7-6?
Tidbit (recruiting edition) Here's an interesting note: while every program gives each assistant coach a recruiting area to cover, Miami is the first that I've seen label one assistant the national recruiting coordinator and another a regional recruiting coordinator. Brennan Carroll will be Miami's national point man, while Terry Richardson will be the Florida recruiting coordinator. It's interesting.

Al Golden (Penn State '91), entering his first season with the Hurricanes. Golden went 27-34 over five seasons at Temple, with much of that damage done in Golden's first season with the Owls (2006), when Temple struggled through a 1-11 finish. His Owls improved significantly over the following two seasons, bouncing back from a 1-5 start in 2007 to win four games – all in MAC play – and finishing with five wins in 2008, a program-best since 1990. Then the Owls won 17 games over the last two years, completing one of the finest turnarounds in recent college football history. How did Golden do it? By completely rebuilding the nation's worst defense and ramping up Temple's recruiting, which ranked among the best in the MAC from the day of his arrival. Though he is one of the youngest head coaches in the F.B.S., Golden brought a wealth of F.B.S. coaching experience to Temple in 2006. From 2001-5, Golden served as Al Groh's first defensive coordinator at Virginia, helping lead the Cavaliers to a 37-26 mark and four consecutive bowl trips (2002-5). Like with the Owls, Golden pushed all the right buttons with the Virginia defense, helping the unit improve from 108th nationally in total defense in 2001 to 18th in 2004. Golden was tabbed to be the youngest coordinator in the F.B.S. after a single season at Penn State (2000), where he served as the linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator. His additional F.B.S. experience includes three seasons at Boston College (1997-99), coaching the linebackers, and a three-year stint as a graduate assistant at Virginia (1994-96). Considering the job he did with the Owls, it was no surprise that Golden's name was consistently bandied about for major job openings. That he chose Miami and did not wait for his alma mater is the only surprise.
Tidbit (coaching edition) Golden brought three former Temple assistants with him to Miami, all on the defensive side of the ball. The defense will be coordinated by Mark D'Onofrio, one of Golden's chief lieutenants with the Owls, while Jethro Franklin will coach the defensive line and Paul Williams the defensive backs. The lone holdover from the previous staff is linebackers coach Michael Barrow, who has been back with his alma mater since 2007. A familiar face has returned: Art Kehoe is back coaching the offensive line for the Hurricanes, as he did for more than two decades from 1981-2005. There are two hires off the N.F.L. ranks, led by new offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch. He was most recently the quarterbacks coach for the Seattle Seahawks, though Fisch does have college experience; most recently, he was Minnesota's coordinator in 2009. Wide receivers coach George McDonald comes over from the Cleveland Browns. Then there's Carroll, formerly of U.S.C., and Richardson, formerly of Connecticut, who will share the aforementioned recruiting duties.
Players to watch
Jacory? Jacory Harris? It seems like ages since the nation was touting Harris as a dark horse Heisman contender; it was only 12 months ago, actually, but the gap between his standing heading into 2010 and his standing coming out cannot be tabulated. Prior to last season, Harris was looked at as a turnover-prone, talented, gutsy, bombs-away quarterback with as high a ceiling as any quarterback in college football. Today, Harris is looked as a turnover-prone, injury-prone, question mark of a quarterback who falls right in line with Miami's recent history of potential-laden disappointments at the position.
Here's what Miami hopes: it's not too late for Harris to turn things around. It's finny, but Harris was never the best quarterback for a young team, not even when he threw for 3,352 yards as a sophomore in 2009. There were simply too many turnovers, too many head-scratching throws for Miami to really excel offensively. Harris was worse last fall, tossing more interceptions, 15, than touchdowns, 14, and completing less than 55 percent of his attempts. He has absolutely regressed, just like the program as a whole. So is Harris the key piece of the puzzle?
He was in 2009 and 2010, and will again hold the key to the entire offense in 2011. If Harris can't cut it, Miami can simply turn to sophomore Stephen Morris, who replaced Harris in the starting lineup last fall and really didn't play all that worse, to be honest. Miami doesn't need Harris to win the Heisman; Miami just needs Harris to not lose games. Best of luck to Harris and the Hurricanes in this quest. Whether he plays with more consistency might be the largest question looming over the A.C.C.
Lamar Miller is all sorts of confident; Miami used to have dozens of guys like Miller, but that sort of program-defining swagger is in short quantity with these Hurricanes. Miller has stated that he'll crack the 1,000-yard mark with ease, becoming the program's first back to reach that threshold since 2002. Miller's not done yet: he's made the school's single-season record of 1,753 yards on the ground a goal, not to mention say that he and teammate Mike James, a junior, would become Miami's first 1,000-yard duo. You love this confidence. And who's to say that Miller can't do all that he's laid on the table? As a redshirt freshman, Miller finished second on the team in rushing with 646 yards and led the way in touchdowns, six, and yards per carry.
All that talent in the world, and perhaps a bit more. Miller's big, fast, tough and yeah, confident, meaning he has all the qualities of a great back. The new offense won't pitch the ball around 30-40 times per game but rather run to set up the pass – what a concept – which should find Miller getting 20 touches per game, give or take. If that's the case, 1,000 yards should be reached with ease. The Hurricanes lose a pair of contributors at the position, but the backfield should be better in 2011 with the combination of Miller and James.
Even without Leonard Hankerson, who developed into one of the nation's best at the position in 2010, Miami has nice depth at wide receiver. Finding the next Hankerson will be a tall task, one that the Hurricanes probably won't be able to do with the current crop of receivers. But there's ample talent and experience, led by seniors Travis Benjamin (43 catches for 743 yards) and LaRon Byrd (41 for 441). That's a nice top duo: Benjamin's a big-play threat, while Byrd has the size to be a factor on third down. Another senior, Aldarius Johnson, burst onto the scene as a freshman but has been a disappointment since. More was expected of Johnson after his 2008 campaign. His run on the depth chart is being challenged by juniors Davon Johnson, Tommy Streeter and Kendal Thompkins, not to mention sophomore Allen Hurns and a pair of incoming freshmen. The Hurricanes have a few nice options at tight end, like former U.S.C. transfer Blake Ayles. If Harris so desired, Miami could make things happen at receiver – though Hankerson's departure does leave a big hole.
Miami knew it needed to replace Orlando Franklin at left tackle. Seantrel Henderson's recent back surgery leaves his 2011 season in doubt, however, though Miami is hopeful he returns at some point this season. Until then, Kehoe will need to break in a pair of new full-time starters at tackle. Redshirt freshman Malcolm Bunche will be on the blind side after having an outstanding spring; it was somewhat surprising to see Bunche, not Henderson, at left tackle, but credit the redshirt freshman for taking control of the spot during the spring. Jermaine Johnson, a five-game starter last fall, should earn the nod at right tackle. The interior of the line remains intact, and it's a good threesome: Harland Gunn at left guard, Tyler Horn at center and all-A.C.C. pick Brandon Washington at right guard. The Hurricanes could also put Washington at right tackle and Brandon Linder at right guard, as some have suggested. There's plenty of depth, though most of it young. Even with a new starter on the blind side and no Henderson for an undetermined amount of time, the offensive line looks very good.
The defense has a very good new coordinator in D'Onofrio and a wildly underrated new line coach in Franklin, not to mention a head coach who will always keep an eye on the developments on that side of the ball. There are issues to address at cornerback, but outside of that troubling situation the Hurricanes have the pieces to again rank among the A.C.C.'s best. It starts up front, where Franklin has several gifted linemen to work with. There's a hole to fill at end, but Miami will lean on this four-man line throughout the season.
It's superb inside: junior Marcus Forston (37 tackles, 12 for loss) has started scratching into his massive potential, and senior Micanor Regis (42 tackles, 8 for loss) is a steady, run-stopping presence as his running mate. Regis has improved his conditioning, which should result in his remaining on the field for longer periods of time, which in turn will increase his production. This pair is really, really good. Depth inside comes from extra-large JUCO transfer Darius Smith, Curtis Porter and Luther Robinson. There are two hyped incoming freshmen also in the mix, though I think the depth in front of this duo may lead to both taking a redshirt.
Allen Bailey left town just as things were getting interesting: like Forston, last fall found the since-departed end develop into the player most expected upon his arrival. Bailey's mantle is passed along to junior Oliver Vernon (38 tackles, 10.5 for loss, 6 sacks), who is likely Franklin's most intriguing pupil. Like Bailey, Vernon is a physical specimen just now teaming his athleticism with technique; with Franklin's help, Vernon should be one of the A.C.C.'s best at getting to the quarterback. Joining him at end is senior Adewale Ojomo (38 tackles, 5 sacks). There's enough depth at end to push Marcus Robinson up to linebacker: Andrew Smith (12 tackles, 3 sacks) just makes plays when he's on the field, and the coaching staff has praised true freshman Anthony Chickillo.
Marcus Robinson will play both linebacker and end. Whether he's down or standing up, Robinson will be asked to do one thing: get to the quarterback. So he'll dabble outside on occasion, though the starters will be Sean Spence (111 tackles, 17 for loss) on the strong side and Ramon Buchanan (54 tackles, 8 for loss) on the weak side. Buchanan landed himself in a heap of trouble in March but was reinstated to the team less than a month later. Spence is the star along the second level, but he's best utilized on the strong side and not in the middle, where he could move should Miami not find an option to replace Colin McCarthy, Can senior Jordan Futch finally play up to his abilities? If not, Miami could call on sophomore James Gaines, an overlooked recruit who continues to surprise. Or it may be Spence, which wouldn't be good for this defense.
Position battle(s) to watch
Secondary Miami likes what it has at safety. It's hard not to like what you see: in juniors Ray Ray Armstrong and Vaughn Telemaque, Miami has a pair of athletic, hard-hitting, ball-hawking safeties with the upside to grow even better under the new staff. At strong safety, Armstrong (79 tackles, 3 interceptions) is already one of the A.C.C.'s best. What he can become is up to Armstrong, as he'll have every opportunity to live up the all-American billing he's landed heading into 2011. Depth may be a worry, but barring injuries, Miami's safety tandem is right alongside the A.C.C.'s best, if not among the best in the country. On the other hand, it's safe to say that the new staff does not like what it sees at cornerback. The top three position are no longer with the program, leaving the Hurricanes with the following among the two-deep at the position: senior JoJo Nicholas is a converted safety, senior Lee Chambers a former running back, junior Brandon McGee only slightly experienced and Thomas Finnie a true freshman, albeit one who was on campus during the spring. It's a fluid situation, and a troubling one at that. Nicholas seems like the one cornerback closest to nailing down a starting spot, though we're far from the point where Miami has settled anything at the position. McGee might only be somewhat experienced, but he has played key snaps in key A.C.C. games, so he has that going for him. There was a time during the spring when Finnie had jumped to the top of the depth chart, but his lack of height and college experience are two significant warning signs. Chambers was the starter alongside Nicholas coming out of the spring, but that depth chart is pretty much useless. Can Armstrong and Telemaque do it all? They can do a lot — and then some — but the Hurricanes need to find answer at cornerback. And fast.
Game(s) to watch
There are two non-conference games worth watching in Ohio State and Kansas State, though a bit of the luster is lost on the former following that program's rocky spring and summer. The road to the top of the Coastal continues to go through Virginia Tech, and will forever, probably; Miami gets the Hokies on the road, as it does with U.N.C. and Florida State. It would be probably be good for Golden to beat South Florida.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell There's talent here. And plenty of experience across the board: a senior at quarterback, seniors at receiver, seniors along the interior of the offensive line, on the defensive line and at linebacker. Hopefully, Miami now has the coaching to take advantage of its talent and experience. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and begin thinking about 2012, as that's a different story altogether. Golden will need to really get to work on the recruiting trail, searching for immediate-type prospects, to overcome the losses that await after this season. But in this coming year, the Hurricanes have all the pieces to win nine games. Here's what needs to be addressed: quarterback, offensive tackle, middle linebacker, cornerback. Yeah, Harris is an enormous question mark. All he needs is mental work, however, and I think the coaching change will provide him with the fresh start his career so desperately needed. Along the line, perhaps Henderson can return at some point this season and provide a boost. Middle linebacker: Spence can move if needed, so Miami has that trump card – though I don't think Golden wants to do that. Cornerback is and will remain an issue throughout the year, in my mind, and it's the primary reason why the defense might take a slight step back. Above all else, bringing in a replacement for Shannon – not even that it's necessarily Golden, but any replacement – will be the biggest reason why Miami should step into a national ranking in 2011. That it's Golden, a no-nonsense coach who has immediately reinstated accountability on the roster, is the icing. I like Miami to really bounce back in 2011.
Dream season Whether Miami can win 2012 and beyond remains up for debate. Whether Miami can win under Golden at all is no longer up for debate: 11-1, 7-1 in the A.C.C. and atop the Coastal division.
Nightmare season All this talent and experience means nothing to Miami, which tumbles from 7-6 to outside of bowl eligibility.

Excellent write up. I'm kind of scared of AL Golden: If he fails then that is another x amount of years down the drain for Miami ,however, if he's successful there is a good chance that he will get scooped or leave to another program. The successful coaches at Miami tend to do that. I do hope he can revive the U to its place among the elite or at least restore respectability.
3. 2008: Florida 26, Miami 3.
this one really doesn't even register tbh. there were no delusions that we were gonna win this game, and actually miami played pretty well for a team starting a freshman qb on the road against the eventual nat'l champs
there were many worse losses that, in hindsight, signaled that full progress was never coming:
- getting crushed on the road at VT in 09 after getting into the top 10
- losing to clemson at home in 2009
- losing to wisconsin in the champs bowl (?) in 2009, although this one doesn't seem so bad w/ how good wisconsin has been since then
also, the best sporadically updated canes blog on the internet (which i write): http://www.seventhfloorblog.com
Paul: Not sure why, but this dropped into spam. Good notes here. Didn't include the '09 Tech loss because it was sandwiched by a few very nice wins. And the rain played a major role. But good points.
The one big game of the season lost a lot of luster in Ohio State; but I am more interested in the opening comment "Miami is in very real danger of losing its place at the table among the nation's elite programs."
Is this possible? As hard as it is for a have-not program to infiltrate the moneyed world of the haves (ask Boise State), it is even harder for a have to get expelled into the realm of the have-nots. An irony is, the most recent example of it happening was Golden's own Temple, though the politics of who got shafted from the SWC/Big 8 merger (how could anyone argue that Baylor was better deserving than Houston, or SMU?) also come to mind.
I'd argue that Miami's place at any table is as comfortable as any; Golden can go 1-11 for years and they still get checks from BCS bowls, they still are a destination, etc. I've long argued that the real issue with college football isn't the lack of upward mobility (i.e. Boise State) but downward mobility; there are no consequences to AQ teams posting long stretches of mediocrity, their seat at the table remains eternally secured.
Perhaps Miami is a bad example of this as there are far better ones, but the phenomenon is interesting to me anyway. The devolution of Miami to the level of a middling AQ program would be problematic enough without it being emblematic of something bigger. Some things are cyclical (Wazzu won 10 or more games three times last decade) while others structural (the military academies and the ivies won't win heismans or go to national championships ever again), and it will be interesting to see if Miami's recent issues are merely cyclical. Add to that the NCAA's piousness which has the potential to break bastions such as USC and Ohio State and there may be something bigger at play.
top three in its conference in offense and defense– that describes both Rose Bowl participants, including the winner.
UF fans, take note – here's an OOC schedule worthy of a top-25 team, Bethune Cookman (what is that??) notwithstanding.
You can definately lose your "seat at the table", and if Al Golden doesn't win it will happen to Miami.
It takes about 10 years. After 10 years of mediocrity, the kids you are recruiting were only 7 years old the last time you were relevant. They don't know who you are anymore. Miami is about at that 10 year mark, they need to win with Golden or they are officialy just another run of the mill team with a nice long-ago history.
It has happened to Indiana in basketball, they are a small afterthought in basketball today.
It almost happened to Alabama in football, but they got the right guy just in the nick of time. Har.
@ gtwreck
I agree for the most part about what you're saying, but Indiana's currently digging itself out of the absolute mess that was the Kelvin Sampson era now is pulling in top five classes. Notre Dame — who has seen its glory days go long, long ago — is now starting to recruit at an elite level, and really, they never fell that far even after sliding into mediocrity. It will be a tough slog once you've fallen from glory but the resources and history at these top tier programs go a long way, and Miami is especially well set with their recruiting base. Even if Golden doesn't pan out, I wouldn't write them off yet.
Wonder if Paul would leave them at this location knowing now there are serious issues around the program with the Nevin Shapiro scandal which is bound to have effects on this coming season. According to the story current players on the team, including the QB, accepted gifts, cash, and other forbidden things from him.
Death sentence? Probably not, but I've seen bigger programs put under major probation and punishment for less.

Notable Facts
A common descriptor for Petite Sirah is inky. And so it is - the dark skinned grape creates wines that are tannic, sturdy, jammy and of course, stain-your-teeth purple. As a blender, the grape helps to add structure and backbone to wines made in not-so-perfect vintages. As a sole variety, the wine typically shows off a peppery spice, with concentrated fruit flavors reminiscent of plums and prunes with notes of cherries and blackberries. The variety continues to gain respect in California for single varietal production and making some delicious and intense wines.

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included. Ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Medications are used to control symptoms of low back pain and sciatica. The medications are listed by their generic name.
Prescription Medications
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
- Naproxen sodium
- Ibuprofen
- Diclofenac sodium
- Celecoxib
- Meloxicam
- Codeine
- Oxycodone
- Fluoxitine
- Duloxetine
- Amitriptyline
- Cyclobenzaprine
- Diazepam
Over-the-Counter Medications
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
- Naproxen sodium
- Ibuprofen
- Acetaminophen
- Aspirin
Prescription Medications
Common names include:
- Naproxen sodium
- Ibuprofen
- Diclofenac sodiumn
- Celecoxib
- Meloxicam
These drugs work to control inflammation, which produces pain. Some prescription NSAIDs are higher doses of the same NSAIDs that are available without a prescription.
Possible side effects include:
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Stomach upset
- Fluid retention
- Liver damage
Some prescription NSAIDs (eg, celecoxib, meloxicam) have been associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Other studies show that some NSAIDs may cause complications in patients recovering from stroke, heart attacks, or open heart surgery. NSAIDs can also interfere with the actions of other drugs. Be certain your physician is aware of all drugs you take, including herbs and supplements (even if you only take these occasionally).
Common names include:
- Codeine
- Oxycodone
Prescription pain pills may be prescribed short term for severe pain.
Possible side effects include:
- Drowsiness
- Constipation
- Decreased breathing
Common names include:
- Fluoxitine
- Duloxetine
- Amitriptyline
Antidepressants may also be prescribed for chronic low back pain.
Possible side effects include:
- Blurred vision
- Weight gain
- Dry mouth
- Dizziness when standing
Do not stop taking these drugs without checking with your doctor.
Over-the-Counter Medications
Common names include:
- Naproxen sodium
- Ibuprofen
- Aspirin
These drugs work to control inflammation, which produces pain.
Possible side effects include:
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Stomach upset
- Liver damage
- Fluid retention
- Interaction with other drugs, including ACE inhibitors, blood thinners, and drugs to treat hypertension. Check with your physician to be certain that NSAIDs will not interact with other drugs you might be taking.
Acetaminophen relieves pain through different biological mechanisms. It is not an NSAID. It can cause or exacerbate liver problems if recommended doses are exceeded. Do not drink alcohol while taking this drug. Do not take more than the recommended dose. Acetaminophen is unlikely to cause side effects associated with other pain medications such as GI upset, fluid retention, and constipation.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms:
- Pain that doesn't improve, or worsens, with rest
- Pain that is severe or that has gotten dramatically worse
- Progressive weakness in a leg or foot
- Difficulty walking, standing, or moving
- Numbness in the genital or rectal area
- Loss of bowel or bladder control
- Burning or difficulty with urination
- Fever, unexplained weight loss, or other signs of illness
Special Considerations
Whenever you are taking a prescription medication, take the following precautions:
- Take them as directed—not more, not less, not at a different time.
- Do not stop taking them without consulting your doctor.
- Don't share them with anyone else.
- Know what effects and side effects to expect. Report them to your doctor.
- If you are taking more than one drug, even if it is over-the-counter, be sure to check with a physician or pharmacist about drug interactions.
- Plan ahead for refills so you don't run out.

About Tesla
TESLA MOTORS was founded in 2003 by a group of intrepid Silicon Valley engineers who set out to prove that electric vehicles could be awesome.
THE TESLA ROADSTER hit the streets in early 2008 as a car with no equal. Four years later, over 2,300 Roadsters drive emissions-free in more than 37 countries.
MODEL S AND MODEL X are the next step in the "Secret Plan" to accelerate the world's transition to electric mobility. Model S is now in production!
will help lessen global dependence on petroleum-based transportation and drive down the cost of electric vehicles. By cooperating with other car manufacturers, we hope to put more electric cars on the road.
EVERY TESLA AND EV using our technology is a step towards making increasingly affordable electric cars available to the consumer.
It's more than electric, it's Tesla.
Founded: 2003
Headquarters: Palo Alto, California
Employees: 2,000+
Stores & Service Locations: 31 worldwide, more coming soon.
On the Road in 37 countries.
A Silicon Valley approach means we move fast and constantly innovate. The critics said it couldn't be done, yet we are here, taking nothing for granted. We challenge custom and question tradition. Our drivers benefit from it.
Tesla makes the best electric cars and electric powertrains in the world. Tesla technology offers the most efficient path to a sustainable energy future. No hybrids. No hydrogen. No hype.
Forget everything you know about the automobile. The Tesla electric drivetrain offers a radically different experience. The driver, the car, and the environment connect in ways they've never connected before.
Tesla's goal is to accelerate the world's transition to electric mobility with a full range of increasingly affordable electric cars. We're catalyzing change in the industry. Tesla vehicles and EVs powered by Tesla are fun to drive and environmentally responsible.

Taylor Swift is ticked off at her ex, and she lets us know it in the music video for the first single off her forthcoming album Red, titled We Are Never Getting Back Together. Taylor parties for once, but dont worry- its only with some humans dressed like stuffed animals. Her ex beau, however, calls her from the bar even though she hangs up on him. It seems that they are never getting back together (like, ever).
Watch Taylor take the power back in the clip below:

Canal Plus has posted a behind the scenes look at Dan's upcoming film Horns, in which he plays Ig Perrish, a grieving and wrongly-accused young man who wakes up one morning to discover he has grown a set of horns.
The video covers Ig's futile attempts to remove his horns through various means, and we get to hear Dan's rather good American accent as he talks to a snake. Much of the video is in French, but Dan's voice is left un-dubbed and subtitled.
Horns is tentatively scheduled for an Autumn release.
Thank you to Titch for letting us know about the video!
Out has released an interview with Dan from the March issue of the magazine, along with a gorgeous new photoshoot.
Speaking to Out's Aaron Hicklin, Dan discussed how he's always known it would be a long process to create a career that isn't defined by his role as Harry Potter – potentially a life-long one. "It's about proving to people that I'm in this for the long haul, and that I wasn't just looking to get as famous as I could for as long as I could and ride that out. I love almost every aspect of this industry and I want to be in it, and if I could drop dead on a film set at 80, that's how I'd want to go."

Out has released a preview of Dan's interview and photoshoot for the March edition of the magazine.
When John Krokidas, the director of Beat-genesis movie Kill Your Darlings, approached Daniel Radcliffe to gauge his interest in playing Allen Ginsberg, he was struck by Radcliffe's humility. Although a marquee name whose involvement could guarantee the investment necessary to make the film, Radcliffe nevertheless insisted on a proper audition.
"I think he was nervous about whether I would want to audition or not, and so at my first meeting with him I said, 'I want to read, I want to audition,' because at this point in my career, I am aware that my name brings a certain kind of cachet," recalls the actor, who is the face of Out's upcoming March cover. "I want to know that a director wants me for me, rather than for the cachet. I can see why people are skeptical about me playing Allen Ginsberg, because I don't look like him—although, neither does James Franco—and I'm English and middle class, and not from New Jersey, but that's what I think is so exciting about it, because people have no idea. I've always known I have potential to be a good actor, and I think more than a good actor, but I've also at times lacked the tools and didn't have any training. When John was first auditioning me for Ginsberg, we hadn't even done the seventh Harry Potter yet, so I was 17 or 18, and he had nothing else to go on apart from the fact that he'd seen me in Equus."
Director Krokidas recalls the audition as a revelation. "He [Radcliffe] wanted to make sure that the primary creative collaboration in the movie was going to be between me and him, that our chemistry was going to be successful," he said. "In some Midtown corporate boardroom, the two of us read some lines from the script together, and wow—a lot of actors talk about colors of the rainbow and different facets of emotion in their performance, and Daniel showed me colors I'd never seen before—it was astounding."
Look for Out magazine on news stands in the next few days, or as a digital edition.

Pirates from the Barbary States preyed on ships off Africa's western and Mediterranean coasts for centuries. After gaining independence, the U.S. lost British protection on the seas. In the 1780s and 1790s, pirates captured and enslaved many American sailors and demanded exorbitant ransoms for their return. With diplomatic means failing, Congress authorized the creation of the U.S. Navy to defend against further attacks on American commerce.

Snapper, Vermilion – US
Vermilion Snapper are found from North Carolina to Brazil and throughout the Gulf of Mexico. They reach sexual maturity at a young age and produce many offspring, spawning multiple times per year.
Vermilion Snapper are abundant in the Gulf of Mexico, but are undergoing overfishing in the U.S. South Atlantic though the population is not considered overfished.
The majority of fishermen use hook-and-line gear to catch Vermilion Snapper, which has little impact on bottom habitat and results in moderate levels of bycatch.
This fish may have moderately high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in snapper. Check out our mercury in seafood section.
