No. 22: Mississippi State
By Paul Myerberg // Aug 11, 2011
Here's a new one: now that the Florida ship has sailed, Dan Mullen will be the next coach at Ohio State once that program begins a national search in January. No, that can't be right. I thought Mullen was just biding his time until Joe Paterno hung up his whistle at Penn State? Scratch that: Mullen's next in line at Texas, clearly, once Mack Brown goes; or L.S.U., when Les Miles' in-game shenanigans become too much for that program to bear; or Oklahoma, Alabama, U.S.C. and so on. Seems like the only place people won't predict Mullen will be five years from now is Mississippi State. Why is that? Why couldn't Mullen hunker down and make Starkville his home for the next five years, decade, the rest of his career? If last season is any indication, Mullen can win at Mississippi State, and there's always the draw of finishing what one has started — being the face and name behind a program's ascendancy.

Last year's prediction
In a slightly different way, I feel the same way about these Bulldogs as I felt about Arkansas heading into last season: by the end of the SEC season, I believe Mississippi State will be one of the hottest teams in the conference. The slight difference is that I knew Arkansas would reach bowl eligibility last fall, while I think the Bulldogs will come close, but fall short of that goal in 2010. Yet there is much to like about these Bulldogs, beginning with a young, energetic coach and continuing with an offense sure to make a sizable improvement in 2010. The defense, better than its numbers indicated in 2009, will be led by an athletic, talented defensive line. This is a better team, a deeper, more experienced team, but I don't think we'll see an improvement in the win column. I'm prepared for the vitriol from the M.S.U. fan base.
2010 recap
In a nutshell Yuck. My projection, not Mississippi State's season. Yuck. Again. I didn't just miss the boat; I went to the wrong boatyard altogether. What Mississippi State achieved in year two under Mullen seemed further along in the future, like in year three, if not four. The Bulldogs were far ahead of what most perceived to be this program's learning curve, which seemed to entail at least a few years of steady progress before breaking through to eight or nine wins. Mullen got there in two years. The offense was ahead of schedule, even if better days await: the Bulldogs were steady but not spectacular, and you'll see more of the big plays offensively beginning with this season. In 2010, the offense did just enough to team with a greatly improved defense to get to nine wins. The defense will also get better, but the Bulldogs did cut about a touchdown per game off its 2009 results. Improvement across the board. And yeah, Mississippi State can be better.
High point Another win over Mississippi, the second straight in the series. The antipathy between the two in-state rivals is nearing an all-time high. A 10-7 win at Florida gave the Bulldogs their first win in Gainesville since Steve Spurrier was in town. As Florida's starting quarterback, that is. That victory was one of six straight following a 1-2 start.
Low point Outclassed in losses to Alabama and L.S.U., the Bulldogs lost in frustrating fashion to both Auburn and Arkansas. Which set hurts worse? I'd say Arkansas stings worst of all, as that loss prevented M.S.U. from a 10-win season. Auburn won by only a field goal, but that was before the Tigers hit their stride.
Tidbit Mullen is 2-0 in the Egg Bowl, which is meaningful for a handful of reasons. One, his start marks only the sixth time in M.S.U.'s modern history — since 1936 — that it has won at least two straight over the Rebels. Two, he's in select company with Allyn McKeen as the only coaches in school history to open with consecutive Egg Bowl wins. And three, with the streak currently at 987 days, when the two rivals meet on Nov. 26 in Starkville it will have been 1,094 days — two years, 11 months and 30 days — since Ole Miss beat the Bulldogs. Not quite Ohio State over Michigan, I know. But awfully meaningful to Mississippi State and its fans.
Tidbit (four-way edition) Last fall marked the first time in program history that Mississippi State beat Florida and Georgia in the same season. It was also the first season that State posted wins over Florida, Georgia and Kentucky. It was also the first time the Bulldogs posted wins over Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi in the same season. Follow? The Bulldogs had never taken down more than two of that quartet in the same season prior to last fall. State posted wins over both the Wildcats and Rebels in 2009, 2007, 2001, 1999, 1994, 1991 and 1917. There were wins over both the Rebels and Georgia in 1974 and 1970 and wins over Florida and the Rebels from 1936-47 and from 1939-42.

Arbitrary top five list
Active head coaches on Urban Meyer's coaching tree
1. Kyle Whittingham, Utah.
2. Dan Mullen, Mississippi State.
3. Dan McCarney, North Texas.
4. Charlie Strong, Louisville.
5. Tim Beckman, Toledo.
Dan Mullen (Ursinus '94), 14-11 after two seasons in Starkville. I said the following about Mullen last summer: "No, it's not easy to win in Starkville. Yet that is precisely what Dan Mullen is going to do, and perhaps sooner rather than later." Yeah, sooner rather than later — though I still had the Bulldogs barely reaching bowl play. He's a rising star in the profession. Mississippi State marks Mullen's first head coaching job on any level. Mullen is most closely tied to Florida's Urban Meyer, who he served under for eight seasons, from 2001-8. If you count Mullen's time as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame (1999-2000), when Meyer was the wide receivers coach, Mullen worked alongside Meyer for nearly the entirety of his F.B.S. coaching career. His career as a position coach began in 2001, when Mullen was hired to coach the quarterbacks at Bowling Green (2001-2). Under his watch, former Bowling Green quarterback Josh Harris set school records for passing in a season and a MAC record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a season. That individual success continued at Utah, where Mullen tutored Alex Smith to an all-American 2004 season and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 N.F.L. draft. After the Utes finished 12-0 in that 2004 season, Mullen followed Meyer to Florida; he also took on offensive coordinator duties, his first coordinator position at any level. Though Meyer's fingerprints were all over both the team's game-planning and play-calling, Mullen deserves plenty of credit for the success of the Florida offense over his final two seasons. Mullen has also earned recognition for the job he has done with Florida's quarterbacks, not only in terms of Tim Tebow but also with Chris Leak, a more prototypical passer for whom Mullen tailored the offense. Of course, Florida's tremendous play over the his last four seasons included a pair of national championships (2006 and 2008). Any questions about whether Mullen could win where others had failed — winning at M.S.U. — were answered last fall. The sky is limit.
Tidbit (coaching edition) Losing one-year defensive coordinator Manny Diaz hurts, but here are two things to help M.S.U. get over the pain. Firstly, Texas was going to get its guy, especially after a hyped assistant search stumbled out of the gate. Secondly, Mullen inked a very intriguing replacement in former Florida International coordinator Geoff Collins, who will share those same duties with a holdover, Chris Wilson. Collins' rise through the coaching ranks over the last three seasons mirrors that of his new boss: first as the linebackers coach at U.C.F., where he was noted for his recruiting acumen, then in a single season at F.I.U., helping to turn the Sun Belt's worst defense into its best, Collins' stock is on an upward trajectory. He's absolutely a B.C.S. conference assistant to watch over the next few years.
Players to watch
One JUCO addition made a huge impact in the SEC, stepping right onto this high level and exceeding any of the expectations surrounding his arrival. Yes, Vick Ballard was everything Mississippi State thought he'd be and more, missing out on a 1,000-yard season only because of a midseason game missed due to injury. Wait, which JUCO transfer did you think I was talking about? Ballard was actually quite overlooked on the recruiting trail, landing only one other F.B.S. offer, Troy, coming off the JUCO ranks; par for the course for Ballard, who was not recruited heavily at all coming out of high school. Once he learned the offense and distanced himself from the competition, Ballard rolled off solid performance after solid performance, ending the year with a team-best 981 yards and a school-record 20 touchdowns.
And those numbers came with that one game lost to injury and with only a slight impact over the year's first three games, when he split time with sophomore LaDarius Perkins and senior Robert Elliott. The whole trio is back in 2010, with Ballard's hefty totals joined by 566 yards from Perkins and a 221-yard showing from Elliott. There will be some retooling up front, but M.S.U. should experience even greater success on the ground in 2011. What can Ballard do for an encore? It's not just about the rushing total, though the senior should crack the 1,000-yard mark with relative ease. It's about how Ballard sniffs out the end zone, scoring 12 times over his first six games and three more times against both Arkansas and rival Mississippi. He'll get lost in the shuffle playing in a conference loaded with backs, but Ballard is one of the SEC's best.
Chris Relf earned the starting spot with a solid finish to 2009, a strong series of spring practices in 2010 and with steady play for much of last season. The big-bodied, athletic senior is a nice fit for what Mullen wants to achieve offensively, though you can't help but think that the Bulldogs can get at least a bit more from the position. I think they'll get more from Relf in 2011, based on how he finished last season: 51 of 73 for 793 yards and 6 scores in games against Arkansas, the Rebels and Michigan. If Relf can only play for an entire year how he's fared in November and December in both 2009 and 2010 the Bulldogs would really have something. He'll do plenty of work on the ground (701 yards, 5 scores) and keep teams honest through the air, and that's enough, I guess. Look for sophomore Tyler Russell to continue to get snaps behind Relf in certain situations as Mullen looks ahead to 2012 and beyond.
In a perfect world, Mullen would have six or seven gifted receivers to work with in the passing game. It doesn't seem like State is quite there just yet, though this is the best, most talented, most experienced group Mullen's had thus far. All four of last year's top receivers are back, led by junior Chad Bumphis (44 receptions for 634 yards and 5 scores). He's been a fixture in the starting lineup in each of his first two years, leading the Bulldogs in receptions each season and showing flashes of the big-play ability that made him a much-desired recruit in Mullen's first class. Fellow juniors Arceto Clark (25 for 362) and Chris Smith (24 for 264) round out the starting trio, with another junior, Brandon Heavens (22 for 316) the first receiver off the bench. What the Bulldogs really need is another three or four receivers to step up for depth purposes, so hopes are high that sophomores Ricco Sanders and Michael Carr, especially Carr, can develop into legitimate options. Could a true freshman make a run at playing time? There will be opportunities to do so, and rookie Joseph Morrow's size, at 6'5, makes him an intriguing possibility.
The most important piece on this defense is a fresh face: Clemson transfer Brandon Maye is eligible to play immediately, thanks to an N.C.A.A. transfer loophole, and he's desperately needed in a linebacker corps replacing all three of last season's starters. Maye was looked at as an immediate starter — he wouldn't have chosen M.S.U. if not — in the middle of the defense, where he'll bring 33 career starts to the table. He's one of two big additions to the linebacker corps, joining Collins, who has done a fine job with this position at both U.C.F. and Florida International. First things first, however: Maye needs to out-duel fellow seniors Brandon Wilson (17 tackles) and Jamie Jones to earn the starting nod. Running third at the start of fall camp, Maye will be atop the depth chart by September.
He'll be flanked on one side by junior Cameron Lawrence (34 tackles), a converted safety. On the bigger side as a defensive back, Lawrence might end up being the breakout star on this defense. He's well-suited for linebacker at around 225 pounds, has good ball skills thanks to his time as a safety and the speed to make plays in space. In short: Lawrence might be a really good outside linebacker. As of today, sophomore Chris Hughes will join him in the starting lineup. Depth is a concern, if not in the middle then on the outside.
While strong along the interior, the M.S.U. defensive line needs a strong showing from senior end Sean Ferguson (23 tackles, 5 for loss) to help offset Pernell McPhee's departure. In the big picture, the Bulldogs simply need to do a better job getting to the quarterback altogether; Ferguson's a big part of any improvement State may find in that regard. He's also the lone senior poised to hold a substantial role up front, further increasing his importance. Chris Wilson will need to work some magic with this group, as while juniors Trevor Stigers and Shane McCardell are at least somewhat experienced the end crop as a whole is the weakest link on the defense.
The Bulldogs can rest easy with juniors Josh Boyd (24 tackles, 7.5 for loss) and Fletcher Cox (29 tackles, 6.5 for loss) anchoring the middle of the line. Overshadowed within the SEC, this pair is more than steady: they can make plays on occasion, as those numbers show, and have flashed an ability to get to the quarterback. There's size but little depth behind the top pair — depth is an issue throughout the line — so the Bulldogs may need to find snaps from a pair of redshirt freshmen, Curtis Verges and Kaleb Eulls. The latter could also play end in certain alignments.
Any questions surrounding the front seven do not extend to the secondary. This group has the potential to be great: good but not terrific last fall, enough of last year's group returns to expect a sizable improvement. It's all about experience: all four starters are back in the fold, and there's ample depth behind this quartet. The leader is senior strong safety Charles Mitchell (93 tackles), who's always willing to lend support against the run. It'll be either senior Wade Bonner or sophomore Nickoe Whitley at free safety: Whitley was the starter last fall, tying for the team lead with three interceptions, but entered August behind Bonner on the depth chart. Both will play, regardless of which earns the starting nod. Once again, juniors Corey Broomfield (52 tackles, 3 picks) and Johnthan Banks (54 tackles, 3 picks) will start at cornerback. Seniors Damein Anderson and Marvin Bure lie behind this pair.
Position battle(s) to watch
Offensive line Mississippi State's continued growth up front takes a hit without two of last year's stalwarts, left tackle Derek Sherrod and center J.C. Brignone. Replacing that pair won't be easy, especially Sherrod on the blind side: the Bulldogs still don't have an answer at that key spot. Finding a new starting center, on the other hand, was as simple as moving senior Quentin Saulsberry inside from guard. His transition will be sped up by his two-game stint as Brignone's replacement last fall, in wins over Florida and U.A.B., which will help Saulsberry break through the learning curve. He's one of two returning starters, joining sophomore left guard Gabe Jackson and senior right tackle Addison Lawrence. Junior Tobias Smith takes over after making a single start in 2010, against the Gators, and serving as a key reserve throughout the year. That's a nice quartet, especially if Smith takes to a full-time starting role and Saulsberry has little trouble grasping the intricacies of the center position. So what's the problem? There are absolutely enormous shoes to fill at left tackle, replacing those worn by a four-year starter, all-SEC honoree and major factor behind Mississippi State's successful run offensively a season ago. Making matters worse is a very unsettled competition featuring two unknowns: senior James Carmon was moved over to offense prior to last winter's Gator Bowl after beginning his career on the defensive side of the ball, while redshirt freshman Blaine Causell is, well, a redshirt freshman. They're neck-and-neck heading into the heart of fall camp, though Carmon seems to hold a slight edge over his younger competition. Perhaps the pair will rotate until one separates himself from the other, but this isn't running back — this is the blind side, and a team needs consistency here more than anywhere else.
Game(s) to watch
Meaningful games abound. You just won't find them in non-conference play, as State's schedule outside the SEC is shockingly weak. In terms of importance: Mississippi, L.S.U., Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn and Georgia. The Bulldogs will play six games at home, six games on the road.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell I expect further improvement from Mississippi State in its third season under Dan Mullen. Anything else would be surprising: most of last year's contributors are back in the fold, especially on offense, and last year's somewhat pedestrian offensive attack should be more explosive in 2011. Will further progression lead to an improvement in the win column? It's going to be hard to top last year's nine-win total, especially with an SEC slate that lands L.S.U., South Carolina and Alabama at home, not to mention some tough games on the road. I'd think that with this conference schedule and a deadly SEC West the Bulldogs would not feel any disappointment in another nine-win season. Why could M.S.U. disappoint? Because there are holes to address on both sides of the ball: left tackle on offense, most notably, but also defensive end and linebacker, though Maye could provide the immediate impact in the middle of the second level. Those are the sort of concerns that could derail a season, in my mind. But I have tons of confidence in Mullen's ability to make things work on the offensive side of the ball. Is there anyone who lacks faith in his ability to keep this program heading upwards? He's made solid move after solid move, both on and off the field, and followed up an inspired defensive coordinator hire in Manny Diaz with another nice pickup in Collins, who will team with Wilson to lead the defense. Is Mississippi State a viable contender to take home the West? Not really, not with L.S.U., Alabama and Arkansas farther along in the process. But the Bulldogs just get better and better under Mullen, so a similar finish to last season should be easily doable.
Dream season The Bulldogs exceeded expectations in year two under Mullen; it happens again in year three, as Mississippi State finishes the regular season 11-1 and atop the SEC West, thanks to head-to-head tiebreakers.
Nightmare season Mullen has all the breathing room in the world, but a slide down to 6-6 would take some bloom off the rose.

It's either Notre Dame or West Virginia.
I think it is Notre Dame, the MiLB team being the Indianapolis Indians, and the player is Roger Maris
It's West Virginia. Three minor league teams, one of which Trevor Hofmann (baseball's all-time saves leader) played for.
Trevor Hoffman is MLB's all-time leader in saves, a statistic that was first recorded in 1969 (the year the leagues were split into divisions). Hoffman began his professional baseball career with the Class A Charleston Wheelers (now the West Virginia Power).
WVU is next.
I thought Mississippi State would be a lot higher for sure.
Also, Texas keeps getting higher.
out of curiosity, would you say Miss State has the weakest out-of-conference schedule in the SEC (already jam-packed with weak OOC schedules?)
I like Mullen and the Bulldogs, but they have a tough schedule this year. Looking for 8 or 9 wins, unless they catch lightning in a bottle.
I do think Mullen may be around Starkville for awhile. If he wanted glamour and a big paycheck he could have bided his time at Florida for a little longer and caught a bigger school. At MSU he can have some glamour and a good paycheck with a little less BS in the atmosphere…….
I thought that Bobby Thigpen held the MLB record for saves. Are you counting saves in the minor leagues?

There's a reason we all love the makeover episode of ANTM: Dramatic hair transformations are so damn fun to watch (tears and all).
So when the clip-in extension pros at Sunny's Hair promised their strands were simple enough to attach in only a few minutes (no stylist required), we had to investigate. Will the hair look real? And, more importantly, will it really be DIY?
To find out, we asked three DailyCandy staffers to put in the extensions by themselves (after watching the how-tos on Sunny's site) and captured their trial runs in today's video.
It's important to note the extensions aren't for everyone (if your hair's Mia Farrow ca. Rosemary's Baby, there's not enough to hide the clips). Sunny's PR also said some customers might have to get their faux locks trimmed first, so they match existing layers (luckily, we didn't).
But if you ask us, it's well worth the drama.

Warren's populist pitch on student loans is off key
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's populist rhetoric pumps up students about their loan burdens, but she conveniently neglects to mention the real problem - the exorbitant cost of college - much less how she's benefitted from those high prices.

Northeastern Illinois University Ranked in U.S. News & World Report's "Best Colleges"
Northeastern tops the list of universities for graduates with least amount of debt and ranks high for most ethnically diverse university.
CHICAGO - Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) in Chicago has been ranked in two categories in U.S. News & World Report's
2013 edition of "Best Colleges." NEIU remains the leader among all universities in the nation for having the lowest percentage of students who graduate with student loan debt. Also, Northeastern has been listed as one of the most ethnically diverse universities in the nation.
Least Debt
The data for the debt rankings were drawn from each institution's 2011 graduating class. According to U.S. News & World Report
, the data includes loans taken out by students from the colleges themselves, from private financial institutions, and from federal, state and local governments. Parents' loans are not included. Only 14 percent of Northeastern's 2011 graduating class incurred debt, and those students borrowed an average of $12,100. The University's percentage of students incurring debt is the lowest among all universities in the country, and the amount of debt they incurred is the lowest in the Midwest.
Most Diverse
The data for the diversity rankings were drawn from each institution's 2011-2012 enrollment numbers. According to
U.S. News & World Report
, the groups forming the basis for the diversity ranking calculations were African-American (non-Hispanic), Hispanic, American Indian, Asian-American, Pacific Islander, White (non-Hispanic), and multiracial.
Northeastern Illinois University is the only four-year, public university federally designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution.
Northeastern Illinois University is a fully accredited public university serving more than 11,000 full and part-time undergraduate and graduate students in the Chicago metropolitan area. NEIU engages its diverse campus community in a rich environment of teaching, learning and scholarship. The University offers more than 80 academic programs in the arts, sciences, education and business. Newsweek magazine has named Northeastern Illinois University the sixth best investment among all universities in the nation and number one in Illinois. The University also is recognized by
U.S. News and World Report
as one of the most diverse universities in the United States and is federally designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution.

Since May was scrapbooking month and it's nearly over, I'd love to share this project with you... A couple of us attended a lecture at the Cooper–Hewitt, National Design Museum given by Jessica Helfand, author of the book "Scrapbooks: An American History". She mentioned participating in the project "A Week in your Life– 13 Book d'Autore" presented by Moleskin and ID Magazine. 13 artists and designers were sent notebooks and asked to document a week in their lives. After watching this video of Jessica's book, Karen (a fellow MSC designer) and I were inspired to document a week in our lives into mini accordion scrapbooks...
Scroll down to see a peek into my book or click on the gallery to view its entirety...
On Tuesday, I tried my hand at calligraphy for the first time. I definitely need to keep practicing.
I made mini envelopes out of the liners of my junk mail on Wednesday. On the right is a prescription given to me by my oral surgeon during a follow-up to my wisdom teeth surgery.
Scraps and a photo from the Party Hat Showdown on Thursday where I won second place!
I documented my outfits for the week and made this mini, mix and match book...
I spent the weekend at my boyfriend's parents' house in the Poconos and Sunday was Mother's Day. I picked my favorite purple myrtle flowers that used to grow in my childhood yard. They remind me of my mother and grandmother.
I'm going to turn the second part of this post over to Karen Mainenti, a holiday designer in the crafts department...
I was really excited by the project, but had so many ideas that I didn't know exactly how to begin. One of the things I thought about were the places I visit regularly in New York City, and I realized that there is such deep history with so many of these locations. This became the inspiration for my scrapbook.
Each day I plotted my route on a map of Manhattan by stitching with a different colored baker's twine for the various modes of transportation that I use: bus, subway, car, or walking.
I numbered the locations so that they would correspond to tiny pocket books I crafted and tucked inside sheet protectors.
These little books include a paragraph summarizing the history of the location, as well as historical photographs I found online or those I took myself during the week.
For example, the history of the Starrett-Lehigh Building—right where our Martha Stewart offices are located—is rich and fascinating. The building was constructed in 1932 as a warehouse, and is today considered a landmark of modern industrial architecture. Freight cars would come right off boats on the Hudson River and then put onto tracks that led directly into the building! 30-foot elevators would then move these freight cars to upper floors for deliveries or pick-ups. Now, all of us here at Martha Stewart get to enjoy the wide-open space and beautiful views afforded by the horizontal bands of windows that sweep around the perimeter of the building.
Thanks for reading– we hope you enjoyed the project as much as we did!

Harpsichord Voicing by Tilman Skowroneck
At www.skowroneck.de, I have made available new English version of my article on harpsichord voicing, which has previously appeared in Swedish and Dutch (1995 and 1998). Since then, I have collected more information about voicing (both with delrin and quill) and I have seen many more instruments by various makers and in various states that in one or another way confirmed my ideas or helped to refine them. So while this text is, in structure, not unlike the original one, it speaks, let us say, louder. This article is available in six postings on the main page www.skowroneck.de or as a pdf at http://skowroneck.wordpress.com/2008/03/08/voicing-complete-pdf/
The article was originally intended as an encouragement for using bird's quills in harpsichords. However, the commonly used delrin is a very good alternative for quill, if it is used well. Even the reader who is not considering quill will find useful information about delrin.

San Francisco Early Music Society 2008 Summer Early Music and Dance Workshop(US)
For over twenty-eight years SFEMS has offered one of the most comprehensive summer early music programs in the United States, led by a faculty of international artists in residence. The program offers instrumental and vocal master classes, lectures, coached ensembles, and recitals that provide an opportunity for musicians and dancers at a variety of levels to improve their ensemble skills, performance techniques, and teaching abilities.
Full days of classes, coaching, and rehearsals are followed by optional evening events, including faculty concerts and lecture-demonstrations, plus more light-hearted activities, from Morris and Renaissance dancing to croquet or poetry readings.
The Baroque and Medieval/Renaissance workshops are held at Sonoma State University, an hour north of San Francisco. Surrounded by hills and vineyards, Sonoma State offers several performance halls, a small theater, large classrooms, and new, single-room dorms. Nearby are wineries and historic towns in the Napa and Sonoma valleys, Pt. Reyes National Seashore, Bodega Bay, and the Russian River.
The Recorder Workshop is held at St. Albert's Priory, a peaceful ivy-covered brick oasis one block from an upscale boutique-and-restaurant district in Oakland, California. All the single dorm rooms overlook a serene courtyard garden. The beautiful chapel that houses performances and orchestra rehearsals has wonderful acoustics. St. Albert's is two blocks from the Rockridge BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station, putting the entire San Francisco Bay Area and its many attractions within reach by public transit.
For young people between the ages of seven and fifteen, SFEMS offers the fourteenth annual Music Discovery Workshop, located at the Crowden School in Berkeley.
Financial aid, based on need, is available from SFEMS in the form of tuition scholarships or work/study arrangements. College credit is also available from Sonoma State University (two semester units of academic credit per week, or three continuing education units). "

This workshop offers advanced singers and continuo players (keyboards, harps, lutes, bowed bass) the opportunity to work on all the musical and dramatic aspects of the 17th-century opera repertoire with a faculty of specialists. Founded by Seattle native Stephen Stubbs eight years ago in Bremen, Germany, Accademia d'Amore has an established track record for training musicians in the subtle art of 17th-century vocal performance and instrumental accompaniment. Its attendees have gone on to successful careers in baroque opera in Europe, the US, and Canada. Stubbs relocated his successful workshop to Seattle in 2005. 2006 will see the second season of this workshop as well as the opening of an ongoing graduate program for singers and continuo players called the Seattle Academy of Baroque Opera.
The workshop will begin with a 3-day intensive course in the stylistic elements of music and movement in the baroque theatre, as well as a specialized course for continuo playing in baroque opera. This will be followed by a week of musical and scenic rehearsals in preparation for a staged performance of all the scenes worked on during the week.
In the middle of the workshop, there will be an informal student concert with music of the students' choice. This is a very important part of the week where students have an opportunity to show other sides of their musicianship.
Location: Seattle Pacific University, Seattle, WA.

Baroque Flute & Continuo Player Boot Camp - July 27 to August 2 2008 (US)
In 2008 the Baroque Flute & Continuo Player Boot Camp (BF&CPBC) takes place from July 27 to August 2. The BF&CPBC is open to baroque flute players of all levels, and intermediate-to-advanced viola da gamba, baroque cello, and lute/baroque guitar players looking to improve their technique and continuo playing skills. We are very supportive and encouraging to those new to the baroque flute. For the advanced players of all instruments, we offer a stimulating and challenging environment (we throw down the gauntlet and challenge you to pick it up).
The BF&CPBC offers predominantly flute and continuo instruction and technique by day, with smaller group classes, large and small ensemble playing, and technical clinics by night. Participants also have time to meet in smaller groups on their own to work on various types of ensembles, with and without coaching. Enrollment is limited to 16 flute players, 8 bowed-string players, and 4 lute/guitar players.
Our faculty this year--
Kim Pineda (Director), Janet See, and Ingrid Crozman, flute
David Morris, cello and viola da gamba
Ronnee Fullerton, viola da gamba
Elizabeth Brown, lute and baroque guitar
The BF&CPBC gives you the chance to work hard under close supervision. What to expect at the Boot Camp:
- Your instructors will push you out of your comfort zone to improve your playing technique.
- Expand your knowledge of baroque style and interpretation.
- Integrate this by playing in small groups, large groups, and in the class recital.
- Learn how to lead, accompany, play together, and learn the difference.
- Gain confidence in a non-competitive environment.
- Group classes in Alexander Technique as it relates to playing your instrument
- Applied music theory (it comes in handy!)
- Have fun in the process.

Zuckermann Harpsichords International June 13-16 2008 Workshop (US)
We weren't sure we'd do it so soon, but last summer's workshop was such a resounding success we couldn't resist. So once again, players, owners, builders, enthusiasts and aficionados of early keyboard instruments will gather in the beautiful seaside village of Stonington, CT for three-and-a-half days of immersion in the wondrous world of the harpsichord and clavichord -- and this time, we're including the fortepiano! Musically, we're focusing on Bach and his sons.
We've changed the format somewhat from last year. The first full day (June 14, 2008) will be composed of introductory sessions in building and playing. The next two days will mostly follow two tracks, allowing participants to concentrate more on either the "hardware" (building and maintenance) of the instruments, or the "software" (performance and performance practice) of the music. We've worked hard to devise sessions that will interest everyone, but one thing we haven't changed: Zack will supply the meals, including two dinners in his restaurant across the street from the shop! ...

Leicester Early Music Festival (Reviewed)
The Festival is over for another year and there is the same feeling of regret that comes with the end of Christmas or the school holidays. But all good things must come to an end and it is now time to take stock of what has been a remarkably successful series of events and one in which the Festival Director and his team can take justifiable pride.
As predicted the Son et Lumière (sound and light) production met with universal approval and large audiences on two consecutive evenings were transfixed by this striking and unusual form of entertainment. It was the first time something like this has been tried in St. Mary's and the effect was stunning. The first 600 years of the church's eventful history were told in a dramatic recitation with appropriate music from St. Mary's choir, whilst various parts of this ancient church – including the magnificent windows – were lit in different colours."
Young Artists Competition Winners Announced
Le Jardin Secret was announced as the winner of the 12th Early Music Network Young Artists Competition on Saturday 14th July 2007 by Ashley Solomon, Chairman of the Competition Judges.
Le Jardin Secret – comprising soprano Elisabeth Dobbin; Romina Lischka viola da gamba, Sofie Vanden Eynde theorbo and David Bluden harpsichord - perform a wide range of seventeenth and eighteenth-century repertoire, exploring the possibilities of creative continuo playing and improvisation. Taking its name from the French metaphor for the heart, it performs music that is intimate and highly expressive. The members of the group were postgraduates at conservatories in Basel and The Hague and have worked with some of the most prestigious names in early music today.
The Competition, which takes place at the National Centre for Early Music in York, attracted young artists from as far afield as Australia, South Africa, Denmark, Europe, South America, Norway and of course from the UK. The winners received a cheque for £1,000 plus an invitation to return to the York Early Music Festival in 2008 and a variety of recording opportunities. ... "

International Music Score Library Project
IMSLP also encourages the exchange of musical ideas, both in the form of musical works, and in the analysis of existing ones. Therefore, feel free to create/edit a page with your analysis of a particular piece (please use the "Discussion" link on the work page of that particular piece)." ... "
The ultimate goal of the IMSLP is to gather all public domain music scores, in addition to the music scores of all contemporary composers who wish to release them to the public free of charge.

Aggie baseball defeats Texas Tech in game two of series, 7-2
Published: Monday, May 7, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 22:07
The No. 9 Texas A&M baseball team used a historic performance from senior pitcher Ross Stripling and quartet of long balls to eventually seal the 7-2 victory over Texas Tech.
"I'm real proud of our team," Childress said. "Every time they scored today, we answered back. Ross settled in and had an amazing performance, as good as he's had all year long."
The game in which the thermometer reached upwards of 95 degrees began ominously when Tech lead off batter Jamodrick McGruder drilled a pitch into Stripling's chest. The ball, which ricocheted toward first as McGruder took the base cleanly, left the Aggie pitcher bruised and winded.
Childress said that his All-American displayed "an awful lot of toughness" in dealing with the early-inning scare as well as the heat.
"He's in great shape and he's a grinder," Childress said. "I'm glad he's on my team. There's no way I could've gone eight innings today, I'll guarantee you."
The Southlake, Texas, native lasted eight innings and struck out 13 batters, a career-high. He also joined Casey Fossum (1997-99), Jeff Granger (1991-93), and junior Michael Wacha (2009-present) as the only players in school history to notch 300 career strikeouts.
"That's a great list to be on," Stripling said, "But that's something I'll look back on in five or ten years. Right now we're just trying to make a run through the postseason. As I climb up some Aggie leaderboards and what not I'll look back and think how great it is, but right now we're just taking it one game at a time like we always do."
As Stripling led the way on the mound, a fellow senior took initiative at the plate for the home team. First baseman Jacob House sent a pair of pitches over the outfield wall and was joined in the home run column by sophomore left fielder Brandon Wood and sophomore center fielder Krey Bratsen.
"We got some big hits today," Childress said. "That's not our offense, hasn't been all year long, but we do have power in our lineup.
House's two-run first inning bomb gave the Aggies a 2-1 lead, and Bratsen knocked a two-run score in the second by pulling a pitch over the left field wall for his first career home run.
"As a little kid, you always want to be the guy to hit the home run," Bratsen said. "I hadn't done it at all last year so the pressure was kicking in a little bit. I was glad. It's something I've always wanted to do."
The local product from Bryan High School went 1-for-3 from the plate and scored two runs for the Aggies in one of his best recent performances.
"The last couple of games I've been struggling," Bratsen said. "It was great to finally get a hit again. I've hit a lot of balls hard sometimes lately right at somebody and I couldn't catch a break. I had to hit one over to get a break and it worked out perfectly—there's nobody over the fence [to potentially catch the ball]."
Wood's rope over the wall in left-center gave the Aggies a 6-2 advantage after four innings of work, and House tacked on the insurance run in the fifth for his team-leading 7th home run of the season. The scoreboard would not change after House's contribution, and freshman reliever Corey Ray threw a scoreless ninth to secure the series win.
The Aggies will sport their camouflage jerseys Sunday as they seek to sweep the Red Raiders. First pitch is at 1:05 p.m.

Peel sweet potatoes and cut into slices about 3/4 inch thick.
Let sweet potato slices cool for a few minutes, then cut them into cubes and put in salad bowl.
Grilled Sweet Potato Salad with Green Onion, Basil, Thyme, and Feta
(Makes about 4-6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
2 large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, about 2 lbs. total
(orange-fleshed sweet potatoes may be called yams in some stores)
1/4 C + 1/4 C purchased vinaigrette dressing (I used Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar Dressing, use dressing with less than 3 grams of sugar per serving for South Beach Diet)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
2-3 T thin chiffonade strips of basil (thinly sliced strips)
2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
1/2 C crumbled Feta
Let grilled sweet potato slices cool for 10-15 minutes, then cut into cubes and place in salad bowl. Add sliced green onions, chiffonade basil strips, and chopped thyme and gently combine with sweet potatoes. Stir in the other 1/4 cup of vinaigrette, using as much as you need to moisten the salad (you may not need all the dressing, depending on how wet you like your salads.) Gently stir in the crumbled feta, season salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve salad at room temperature.
I had a small container of leftover salad that was in the fridge for 2 days, and it still tasted great, but you may not have any leftovers!

Yazici proposes "suspension from FIDE" of seven big federations
Ali Nihat Yazici, the President of the Turkish Chess Federation, has proposed to "suspend from FIDE" the seven chess federations that started two court cases against the World Chess Federation recently. The proposal is put on the agenda of the FIDE Congress which will be held next month in Istanbul.
Ali Nihat Yazici | Photo by Anastasia Karlovich
Last Friday FIDE published the Agenda and Annexes for the 83rd FIDE Congress, scheduled from 1 to 10 September 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey. Lots of interesting topics will be discussed in the meetings that traditionally take place alongside the Olympiad. One of the most remarkable proposals is the following (annex 60), by Ali Nihat Yazici, who recently returned in the function of FIDE Vice-President.
From: Ali Nihat YAZICI [mailto:email@example.com]
Dear Mr.Freeman,
As you know 5 federations of FIDE (French, USCF, Ukraine, German, Switzerland) have sued in 2010 FIDE, together with Karpov and they lost court case, and FIDE has spent 1.000.000 USD to defend itself.
Best regards,
Ali Nihat YAZICI
Yazici's proposal is an extension of an earlier measure against these seven chess federations. On June 7th we reported about this: the Turkish Chess Federation rejected arbiters from England, France, Georgia, Germany, Switzerland, Ukraine and USA at the Olympiad, because their federations "launched or supported court cases against FIDE and thus created financial problems for FIDE and a loss of distributable income for worldwide chess development." The above proposal for the FIDE Congress is also dated June 7th. Only now, with the publishing of the FIDE Congress Agenda, it becomes clear that Yazici wants to go even further.
The decision by the Turkish Chess Federation to reject arbiters met strong criticism. The seven federations issued a formal protest, and the action was strongly condemned by the Association of Chess Professionals (ACP), the European Chess Union and also the Russian Chess Federation. It's slightly surprising that there hasn't been a reaction yet to Yazici's (new) proposal.
Yazici's second suggestion, to add the possibility to appeal FIDE management decisions in the FIDE Ethics Commission, makes a somewhat artificial impression. The goal is to prevent federations from sueing FIDE at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for management decisions: "Only FIDE Ethics Commission decisions may be challenged in CAS." However, it probably needs further legal investation to determine whether FIDE can decide itself what can be challenged at CAS and what not.
Spanish chess player WIM Patricia Llaneza reacted on the matter with the following tweet:
According to Ali Nihat Yazici, if you sue FIDE you should be banned from FIDE, and if you sue ECU you should become ECU president. #chess?

Hmm, so FIDE can do what they want, and if you try to sue them you'll be excluded? Does Mr. Yazici actually realize which damage he is doing to FIDE right now (not that they've been doing well before, but that's just ridiculous). Maybe the Federations mentioned in his proposal should get together and found a new chess federation to take care of chess and not of their personal interests and politics

A complete non-sense, a sort of [intellectual] terrorism ....
Fantastic idea. In fact, just suspend all countries from FIDE.
what about a common strike from ALL COUNTRIES against this little gentleman ?!?!?!? In order to teach him how to be nice with Vendredi !!!

it would be great if all countries drop out from istanbul chess olympiads! that may not teach this guy how to react! but at least it might force some of the turkish chess community members to get rid of from him!
Oh yes, we simply got to admit it: Ali is not only back to office, but at the same time funnier than ever !! What a fantsatic idea once again, honestly the guy simply never misses on a good slapstick to the amusement of his audience. Nigel Short, a great comedian and (former) world class chess player in his own right, probably happily admits that Ali's performance is simply a class of its own. Our local chess club decided to nominate him for the "Gens una sumus" Comedy Order of Merit (COM) to be presented in Istanbul on behalf of this year's "Global Ali" chess festival (formerly also known as 'FIDE Chess Olympiad'). May I also encourage Ali to establish 5 additional Turkish subfederations to the global association, so that there be not only 1 but 6 Turkish chess federations in order to properly represent the importance of Turkish chess and of course Ali himself within global chess? It's about time for the best people to shine! Thank you Ali.
it seems FIDE spend so much money on lawyers lately, that they had to let go their last proofreader

Holy cow! Let him do it, but he should be careful what he wishes for. These 7 federations have enough resources to create a rival world chess federation which could make FIDE obsolete.
hey that's not a bad idea. Sometimes you just have to grab the bull by the horns
Why should we ask for boring principles such as transparency and democracy when we can have Kirsan and Ali? Those guys are so much fun. No such amusement like the president of a global sports federation looking for his alien friends spaceship, visiting the most brutal dictators on the peak of their decline, and now this funny (ex - and-again -) vice president from Turkey! Never change a winning team :-))
Its horrible that this is happening to chess.
The reputation of chessplayers of being intelligent and honest is being completely destroyed by these clowns.
Chess is being made to look childish and silly, this will destroy sponsorship.

Chess has been wrecked for decades by this kind of losers/ peanut, haha, that 's the right word/spot on

"Therefore, we ask FIDE General Assembly in Istanbul that those 7 federations must be given suspension from FIDE including players, arbiters, trainers, ratings and organising FIDE rated events, till damage is covered by those federations."
Of course, he conveniently forgets (and hopes we do too) that at least some of the money FIDE spent was SUPPLIED by those seven nations ...
Cool. Let's see: He stops his own Grandmaster from playing chess. He wants to stop Biel. He wants to stop Dortmund. He wants to stop the London Classics. He wants to stop Hastings! He wants to stop those seriously enthusiastic St. Louis chess fanatics. He wants to stop the Georgian ladies. He wants to stop the Ukrainian team from defending their title. He wants them to pay 1'000'000 USD to an organization controlled by him and his friends.

Not correct what you are writing about the Norwegian team. Norway IS sending a team, and Magnus was in fact willing to play. It was not a money issue.
Not sure where you got your information from. It's wrong.
Fascinating. I'm assuming you paid for this advertising space?
1 year 8 months ago
None of you have any clue of what is going on. While the greats like Kasparov and Karpov tried with all their might and failed openly to end the reign of Kirsan, Ali Nihat Yazici does it from within. Slowly but steadily he shall rid the countries of FIDE's shackles even if it costs him his reputation and job. Sacrifices that are apparent are not beautiful. The beauty lies in convincing others that you are giving up the game. To Yazici! And his devotion and offering at the chess altar!
Passive until the end?
It actually looks like the more serious federations can't even finally find a unanimous decision and quit FIDE, which would seem in fact the due reaction after all the incredible and unfounded aggression coming from current FIDE headquarters. Ironically, they might now even get "suspended" for doing literally nothing - while in fact it should be them who set the pace for global chess. Am I missing something?
1 year 8 months ago
You are... what makes the world go round? It's dollars. The chess world is no different.
FIDE is rich and still attracts money to events, while the "rebellion" non-Third-Country chess federations are closer to being bankrupt than Barings bank.
Not sure about actual figures, but probably a good part from the fees collected by FIDE actually comes from those "non-third-world" federations, their players and tournaments. If those seven federations were actually kicked out, probably also AGON wouldn't be exactly amused. Can you imagine the recently announced FIDE candidates' tournament or FIDE grand prix events to be held in London, Paris and Berlin if those countries were actually suspended by FIDE? This might prove slightly dificult. Not even talking about some other federations probably voluntarily quitting as well then. Good luck with attracting additional money for tournaments exclusively taking place in cities like Tashkent, Ulan Bator or Khanty-Mansyisk.
1 year 8 months ago
Oh what a gift to be thrown out of FIDE! No more rating fees at tournaments and our national federations can use collected dues and fees for the support of a more democratic organization.
Please you petty little men, kick us out! Please!
i imagine that if the german, english & french federations team up and put some serious money on the table, the rest of the smaller countries will follow
Casaubon for President !! Suspend all nations from FIDE !!
Remind me again, what good is FIDE ...?

The man is losing touch with reality and has forgotten the purpose of FIDE. It is a union of chess federations, not an establishment above those federations.

I wonder how long it will take for this Paulson guy to realise what a mistake he made when deciding to try to work with an organisation like FIDE. First he has to answer questions about Kirsan's alien abductions, then the Russian Chess Federation declares they don't allow the first GP event to be held in Russia unless they get to pick three participants, then all kinds of nutty quarrels involving people like Comical Ali.
