Recovery, the new album by Eminem, has a history that dates back to 2007, when it was then planned as the follow-up to Relapse. With its original title of Relapse 2, the project started taking on a life of its own and slowly evolved into a separate creature altogether. In previous interviews, the rap legend has stated: "…as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."
What's so different? According to Eminem, it's a more "emotionally driven" spectacle, and critical reception, love it or hate it, tends to agree. With 17 tracks and guest appearances from Rihanna, Pink, and Lil' Wayne, Eminem delivers a lyrical punch in the face more introspective, violent and nasty than anything that's come before it.

"He's a fan."
In 2013, Monáe released her second album, The Electric Lady, which also received rave reviews. The album stays consistent with the theme of her debut, taking listeners on a musical journey alongside Cindi Mayweather. The album, which featured appearances by fellow respected R&B artists such as Miguel, Solange,
Prince and Erykah Badu, did better than its popular predecessor, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200. Monáe also gained recognition at the 2013 Billboard Women in Music event, having been given Billboard's Rising Star Award. She also made her debut as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live in October 2013, alongside host Edward Norton.
Public Image
Perhaps what most distinguishes Monáe from other young stars is her commitment to creating challenging music. "I feel like I do have a responsibility to the community," Monáe said. "The music that we create is to help free their minds and, whenever they feel oppressed, to keep them uplifted. We want the music and the vision that we have to be their choice of drug, if you will. So we need a manifesto. If we want to stay on message, we have to believe in what we're fighting for, and we do."

Value-Added Measures in Italian High Schools: Problems and Findings
Students' competencies are influenced by a host of factors, including individual school's effectiveness. Measuring this contribution is extremely difficult. One way of circumventing the problem is by focusing on changes in students' competencies, i.e. value-added measures. Using the results of an INVALSI survey on high schools, this paper implements these measures for Italy, in an attempt to identify a general pattern of value-added among schools. Purging the sample from measurement errors – which require the exclusion of schools with too few students tested – and taking into account the selection bias implied by the non-compulsory nature of the survey, we find that the positive gap in favour of general programs (licei) when looking at the level of competencies tends to vanish (in math and science) when focusing on value-added measures. By contrast, in the same subjects schools located in the Southern regions are characterized not only by a lower starting level of competencies but also by a lower value-added. For math at least, there is also a general tendency for teachers' turnover to have a negative effect on students' improvements.Download Info

Predicting the Winners of Every Conference in College Football in 2013-14
By Billy George ,
Every year when the month of March rolls around, fans, spectators, coaches, players, announcers and even referees fill out their NCAA basketball tournament brackets. Some do it for fun while others do it in competitions to win either certain prizes or certain amounts of cash.
In filling out any kind of NCAA tournament bracket, one predicts what they believe will happen and who they think will emerge on top in head-to-head matchups, based on the seedings of the particular teams. The lower the seed, the better the team's odds are at advancing in the tournament
So how do they determine what team gets what seed exactly? Well, by looking at what each team's overall record is, as well as its strength of schedule, the quality of each team it beat, what teams it lost to and examining each individual position battle.
Well, my friends, by using the same type of deductive reasoning that's used when filling out NCAA tournament brackets, in the next 11 slides I will break down which teams have the best chances to wind up being the champs of each and every conference in major college football this coming season.
2012 Record: 11-2
2012 Bowl Game/Results: Chick-fil-A Bowl Winners
Returning Starters: 14
Most Valuable Player: Quarterback Tajh Boyd
Despite losing their leading, 1,000-plus-yard rusher in Andre Ellington, the Tajh Boyd-led Clemson Tigers offense has the firepower to put a lot of points up on the board. Last season, the Tigers were eighth in the country in terms of total yards gained and put up a whopping 41 points per game!
The problem with this team lies on the defensive side of the ball, as it was ranked just 76th in the country in terms of total yards given up per game last season.
It should improve this coming season, though, as seven of the 11 starters from last year will return, being a more experienced bunch.
Final Thoughts
Even though it has a lackluster defense, I think that this squad is primed and ready to win the ACC title in 2013 while earning a bid to play in a BCS bowl game.
2012 Record: 11-2
2012 Bowl Game/Results: Allstate Sugar Bowl Winners
Returning Starters: 14
Most Valuable Player: Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater
Soon-to-be junior quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had the seventh-best QB rating in the country in 2012, en route to leading his team to its first Big East title since the 2006 season and its first-ever appearance/win in a BCS bowl game.
Pretty impressive, right?
The scary thing for the rest of the Big East is that Bridgewater will be back, as will 16 other returning starters. They will not only be eyeing another Big East title; they'll aim for the BCS National Championship Game!
Final Thoughts
Louisville fans want to see their beloved Cardinals go undefeated while competing for a national title, and that very well might happen when you take into consideration the lack of strength in the teams on their schedule.
But I think that they'll stumble somewhere along the lines while still winning the Big East title and getting an invitation to play in another BCS bowl game. .
2012 Record: 12:0
2012 Bowl Game/Results: N/A
Returning Starters: 13
Most Valuable Player: Quarterback Braxton Miller
In Urban Meyer's first year as the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes football team, he took what was a lackluster, 6-7 program in 2011, and created a team that was borderline immaculate in 2012, going 12-0, becoming just the fifth team in Buckeye football history to finish the season without a loss.
With results like that, the expectations of the Ohio State fanbase worldwide are very high, Especially when considering that it has one of the most electrifying players in the country in dual-threat QB Braxton Miller.
Miller was named the Big Ten offensive player of the year in 2012, just like other Buckeye greats Eddie George, Orlando Pace, Joe Germaine and Troy Smith.
I think this year's Ohio State squad has the potential to reach the 2014 BCS national-title game in Rose Bowl Stadium.
Final Thoughts
From top to bottom, Ohio State has more talent on its roster than any other team in the B1G.
The Buckeyes just have to execute and show that their 12-0 season in 2012 wasn't a fluke.
2012 Record: 9-4
2012 Bowl Game/Results: Valero Alamo Bowl Winners
Returning Starters: 19
Most Valuable Player: Wide Receiver Mike Davis
Texas head coach Mack Brown is one of quite a few coaches in college football who are on the hot seat right now. But I think that this coming season will "save his ass," so to speak. He will have a very skilled bunch of maturing players returning this coming season, and things are bound to change.
As only a sophomore last season, Longhorns quarterback David Ash had the 20th-best QB rating in the country, completing 67.3 percent of his passes and throwing for 2,699 yards and 19 touchdowns. Because of his spectacular play, a lot of people overlooked the contribution of the Longhorn's tandem of running backs.
Last year Johnathan Gray and Joe Bergeron collectively rushed for 1,268 yards on 276 carries while averaging 4.6 yards a pop and scoring 19 touchdowns. Keep in mind, Texas is a pass-heavy football team.
Final Thoughts
If Texas wants to come away with the conference crown, it'll have to improve on the defensive side of the ball, as it ranked 67th in the country in terms of yards given up per game and 73rd in the country in scoring defense last season.
2012 Record: 8-5
2012 Bowl Game/Results: New Orleans Bowl Losers
Returning Starters: 14
Most Valuable Player: Quarterback Shane Carden
The lack of returning starters and veterans on the rest of the Conference USA teams' rosters makes East Carolina the favorite to win the conference title this coming season, despite the Pirates' losing 1,000-plus-yard rusher Vintavious Cooper indefinitely due to suspension.
An unquestionable leader will soon be found in junior quarterback Shane Carden, who completed 66.1 percent of his passes while throwing for 3,000-plus yards and 23 TDs in the 2012 season. Another spark for this squad is wide receiver Justin Hardy, who had 1,049 yards receiving last season and seven touchdown grabs..
The true strength of this team, however, is found on the defensive side of the ball, where seven of the Pirates' 11 starters are returning
Final Thoughts
With all the given information above, I can't think of any reason why this team won't win the Conference USA title in 2013-14.
2012 Record: 12-2
2012 Bowl Game/Results: Discover Orange Bowl Losers
Returning Starters: 14
Most Valuable Player: Quarterback Jordan Lynch
The Huskies are in good shape to win the MAC title for the third straight year this coming season. After winning the conference crown last season, they were invited to play in the 2013 Orange Bowl, where they eventually lost against the Seminoles of Florida State
But one problem with this squad is the fact that it's lived and died by the play of Jordan Lynch.
Take him out of the equation, and they're screwed.
Here are his numbers from the 2012 season: 238-of-394 (60.2 percent), 3,138 yards, 25 TD, six interceptions and a 144.9 QB rating while passing the ball and 1,815 yards on 294 carries (6.2 yards per carry) and 19 TDs on the ground.
Final Thoughts
No team in the MAC will be able the slow the Huskies down enough to prevent them from winning the conference crown this coming season.
2012 Record: 11-2
2012 Bowl Game/results: Maaco Bowl Las Vegas winners
Returning Starters: 12
Most Valuable Player: Defensive End Demarcus Lawrence
The Broncos of Boise State have been known as "BCS busters" in this past decade, They beat the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, as well as the same Oregon team that played Ohio State in the 2010 Rose Bowl, and the TCU Horned Frogs in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl.
Led by senior quarterback Joe Southwick, they should have a great deal of success this coming season, as well. Look for running back Jay Ajayi to be a bright spot for this team, too. Sure, he only rushed for 548 yards as a true freshman last season, but keep in mind the fact that he averaged 6.7 yards per carry while playing behind senior running back D.J. Harper.
Final Thoughts
This team has the potential to be just as good as it was in the years mentioned above.
2012 Record: 12-1
2012 Bowl Game/Results: Tostitos Fiesta Bowl winners
Returning Starters: 16
Most Valuable Player: Quarterback Marcus Mariota
I know, I know the Stanford Cardinal were the Pac-12 champions last season, and they're loaded with talent, returning 17 of the same starters who beat Wisconsin in the 2013 Rose Bowl. I am also aware of the fact that they beat Oregon in Autzen Stadium last year and that they play them at home this coming season.
Is all of this relevant when considering who I think will win the 2013-2014 Pac-12 conference? Well, sort of, but not really.
You see, Stanford has had the propensity to slip up versus Oregon. Before losing to Stanford last year, the Ducks won their 10 previous matchups versus the Cardinals while outscoring them 430 to 219 (21.1 points per game).
So I think that the Ducks will come away win the Pac-12 conference crown, and Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota will be a Heisman finalist by season's end. His 163.2 QB rating ranked sixth in all of college football, and he completed 68.5 percent of his passes while throwing for 2,677 yards, 32 touchdowns and only six interceptions in 2012.
Did I mention the fact that all of this was in Mariota's freshman season? Yeah, I said "wow" myself! I see Oregon winning the Pac-12 title this coming season and winding up in one of the BCS bowl games.
Final Thoughts
If things go Oregon's way this year, we may very well see them playing in the 2014 BCS National Championship Game next January.
2012 Record: 13-1
2012 Bowl Game/Results: BCS National Championship Winners
Returning Starters: 16
Most Valuable Player: A.J. McCarron
Wow, where shall I start? Hmm, how about we start with Alabama head coach Nick Saban, who seems to have everything figured out when it comes to winning college football games? Once again his team will be the favorites to win the SEC and national titles this coming season.
It's a given that Saban's squad consists of a bunch of veterans who know how to dominate on both sides of the ball, but he also signed arguably the best 2013 recruiting class in the nation. I mean, it's amazing how this guy reloads year after year.
According to most of the major recruiting websites (Rivals, Athlon, ESPN, etc.), Alabama's 2013 recruiting class ranks No. 1 in the country.
Considering all of Nick Saban's success as a head coach, he has the type of legacy that will most likely earn him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame some day.
Final Thoughts
The 2014 BCS national title is Alabama's to lose.
2012 Record: 9-4
2012 Bowl Game/Results: New Orleans Bowl champs
Returning Starters: 13
Most Valuable Player: QB Terrance Broadway
Having a stud like Terrance Broadway at his disposal, Ragin' Cajuns head coach and Louisville native Mark Hudspeth has to be excited about the potential of his team this coming season.
While Broadway had the 19th best QB rating in the country in 2012, the junior-to-be playmaker out of Baton Rouge completed 65.4 percent of his passes while piling up 3,611 total yards and 26 touchdowns. If he had put up similar numbers in a tougher conference and his team had a moderate amount of success, he would most likely have been a Heisman finalist last year.
A combination of Broadway and the Ragin' Cajuns' running-back tandem of Alonzo Harris and Effrem Reed alone should give this squad enough juice to win the Sun Belt conference, even if it has just a half-decent defense.
Final Thoughts
The Broadway-lead Ragin' Cajuns seem to be on a different level than their conference foes.
2012 Record: 11-2
2012 Bowl Game/Results: Famous Idaho Potato Bowl winners
Returning Starters: 14
Most Valuable Player: QB Chuckie Keeton
Like the Ragin' Cajuns, the Aggies of Utah State have themselves a promising distributor of the football in Chuckie Keeton. Boy, did the 6'1", 200-pound Houston native have an excellent season in 2012?
Upon completing 67.6 percent of his passes and throwing for 3,373 yards and 27 touchdowns, the sensational sophomore was just about as dependable as you could ask for out of a maturing 19-year-old young man. I'm sure Aggies head football coach Matt Wells would agree.
When you consider Keeton's rushing game as well , along with the supporting cast he will have in running backs Joe Hill and Kelvin Lee, the offense should put up big numbers this coming fall. The only area of concern lies on the defensive side of the ball.
Final Thoughts
Despite having to play at both Utah and USC, I see this team taking its conference crown while cementing its spot in a more prestigious bowl game than last year's.

A few months ago I was wanting to update my wardrobe a little bit as we were coming into the colder weather I wanted some lovely knitted clothing. Now, although I tend to spend quite a lot of money on shoes, clothes are slightly different for me I like a bargain (well who doesn't?!) and tend to wait for mid season sales before spending my money as you tend to get more for your money.

Home > Research Legal Advice > Immigration > Will they re-scrutinize my I-751 waiver while filing for Citizenship
I got my conditional residency in 2006 and I got divorced in 2007 under extreme conditions. I had filed for I-751 waiver and it was approved in 2010 and hence I received my 10 year extension in 2010. During I-751 waiver interview they had asked for a number of supporting documents and it was pretty painful gathering them but I did eventually submit what they asked for.
I am thinking about filing for citizenship now but I am worried whether they would try to re-scrutinize the I-751 waiver and my 10 year extension and ask for new information again?
I must respectfully disagree with Mr. Behar.
Although it will not be as painful as before, they are required to completely review your entire file.
This includes the bona fides of your original conditional permit and the waiver.
With that said, most likely you have nothing to worry about.
Still, having an attorney sitting next to you is a good idea.
I agree with Attorney Capriotti. USCIS will review you entire file. However, I agree with both immigration lawyers that your naturalization should be much smoother than your application to remove the conditions. However, you owe it to yourself to contact a New York immigration lawyer, whether myself or one of my colleagues. If you appreciate the time spent preparing this answer, kindly consider marking it BEST ANSWER or HELPFUL. Good luck to you.

The initial air connection (120 lbs), the plastic handle shot off of the brass fitting sending the handle across the shop. I had purchased 2 of them, so before I went to look for the 1st shooter, I connected the 2nd 1, and it did the same thing right away. Fortunately I had purchased for the 1st time some HF instant setting epoxy, just to have around because it was cheap. The 1st project for the epoxy was the blow gun repairs. Put the epoxy on the guns and the brass fittings, 24 hours later I had 2 great air blowers. Sometimes we buy things from HF that don't quite cut the mustard, however there are those of us that use those experiences to either create a tool, make the broken 1 a bit better, or use some of the parts for something else. After all, the prices are generally great, and it's just the coolest store to walk through and get those juices flowing.

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Central Pneumatic Pistol Grip Blow Gun:
Product did as I had read and blew apart in the first 2 seconds of being on air. Super glue solved that problem and 5 mins later it worked fine. No problems with leaks or anything else. Great tool just should come with super glue.

Purchase glue also
By BB
from Texas
Suggest you buy an epoxy or superglue at same time as the plastic handle will shoot off the brass fitting. It is evidently only pressed in (not glued). Mine flew off after pressuring up to 120psi. Still beats the price of the other stores even with the glue purchase.

Broke after 5 yrs of use
By ronnie the limo driver
from ny
Worked good for about 5yrs before it failed. The valve failed and it no longer sprays. I guess thats what you get for the price.
90 psi not 120
By jo bub
from oregon
the valve almost blew the handle off at 120psi...the metal version is only $1 more so I will get that one
Defective from Design
By Luis
from Florida
I bought a few of these, and had the same qualms with all of them:The piston valve below the lever works out in question of a few weeks, so it will start to leak air within a few weeks of use. Cheap-Cheap-CheapYou get what you pay for. But in this case, you get less than what you paid for. Making a decent air gun for less than $5.00 as a mass product should be viable.
not strong enough
By jk
from illinois
The pressed in brass insert pops out under any psi above 60. I fixed that with threadding my own in. After that was fixed the lever valve couldnt handle the pressure and blew apart. Into the trash that went. Waste of money buy a real one from Vacula

I wont buy again...
By JB
from Tucson, AZ
I bought this to use at the Ford Dealership I work at. My first use of it was to blow off leaves around the engine. I gave it a few shots, and then the brass fitting blew out of the plastic handle. Thankfully I had the hose gripped about 1.5 feet from the quick disconnect, but WOW that handle flew off pretty good. The hose whacked me on the chin before I even knew what happened and why the hose was flopping all around. We run 140ish PSI in the shop, but I just cant trust THIS blow gun now... as for the gun itself, it was quite nice and sturdy. No leaks at all.

Det fan, I don't know if I told you that I traded my cadillac for a regal GS. It is a really nice car runs great, has the best looking split 5 spoke polished alum wheels on it, but I have to keep it till late 2015 so I can return back to cadillac, that I really miss. I am going for an ATS, with a turbo v6, and it will be a 2dr. Everyone says that I will be sorry, as it is pretty hard to get into the back seat. I really don't care, because my wife and I never go with anyone in back anyhow. The back seats are buckets, with a console between. So it is actually only a 4 person car. I think they are super on looks, and supposedly they are one of the best handling cars, bar none, on the highway. The turbo 6 has 321 hp and runs very well. Next engine is the twin turbo, rated at 420 hp. Runs great. Later??????
It's a little hard on me because she was the last of 4 sisters. I still have 5 of my 8 brothers living though. All of them in MI except 1 that is in Texas. He is currently hospitalized with congestive heart failure. But doing a little better after 6 days. Life is what is is but I am a christian. How good of one depends on whom you talk to. LOL ;-)
Sorry to tell you but she passed away Feb 17th. But thanks for asking. Have a great day. Looks like the Tigers are faring well for Spring Training.
welcome back
Detfan, thanks for replying on my whiteboard. As I expected, you did eventually become disillusioned with posting. And you are correct, this thread has basically become a hangout for trolls. Please note however, I wrote "disillusioned", not "delusional". Perhaps you have confused me with some other poster. Have a good week!
Hey I just wanted to let you know that USMCturtlehead's sister passed away yesterday.
Sorry I didn't mean to upset anyone! Thanks for the response. Just trying to liven up the forum. I think GM makes a great product and they have come along way! Again sorry for the failed humor attempt!
Thanks for the invite. I may be heading to Detroit in the next day or so. Baby sister not doing well. They really have been hit hard this winter. About 60 inches of snow so far this year from what my brother says. Frozen Sunshine and Snow Ball. LOL
seat to watch a bunch of minor league players. I really likes the Caddy as I kept it for 3+ years. I usually only keep one for 1-2 years max Good luck on the Chevy SUV, they are nice cars.
Detfan, I traded the SRX in for a new regal GS, and although it is a fantastic car,it is not a Cadillac. I really liked the caddy, and my next one will be either an ATS, or a CTS. I am kinda leaning toward the ATS for now, but I have changed my mind before. The ATS doesnt offer the 6 cyl 320 hp engine, only the turbo 4, which is a really good running car, but I would like the extra 50 HP that goes with it. Of course that involves a lot more money. They are very good cars I have seen some ads on tv for the ELR, and I really like it, but $76,000.00 is a lot of cabbage for a car that won't be driven more than 10-15,000 miles a year. I leased this buick, and that is why I have to keep it for about 19 more months. Have you thought about looking at the Buick enclave, that is a really fine car.

Russell Lee Ebersole recently won a $45,000 judgment in a case for defamation and business conspiracy, racking up over $135,000 in attorney fees to obtain it. In September, Judge Cacheris ruled that only around $80,000 of the incurred fees were reasonable, and awarded fees to the plaintiff accordingly. Alas, it appears that Mr. Ebersole is never going to see any of this money, because he owes the government--which timely perfected its restitution lien--over $700,000.
Shortly after the judgment was entered, the government applied for a Writ of Continuing Garnishment to enforce its lien against the proceeds. Ebersole's lawyers intervened and objected, claiming that the superpriority of their attorney's lien (under 26 U.S.C. § 6323(b)(8)) applied to all fees billed to their client, not just the amount deemed reasonable by Judge Cacheris.
The priority of a federal lien based on an order of restitution is generally determined by who got there first, i.e. "first-in-time, first-in-right," and the government's lien was filed first. But there is an exception to that rule. An attorney's lien "to the extent of his reasonable compensation for obtaining such judgment" enjoys superpriority status under 26 U.S.C. § 6323(b)(8). Regulations interpret "reasonable compensation" as the amount customarily allowed under local law for similar legal work based on the individual case circumstances.
The government argued that the law firm had superpriority only to the extent of the $79,786.42 that Judge Cacheris had ordered the defendant to pay Ebersole's attorneys in the earlier action. Judge Cacheris had expressly excluded fees over that amount from the "reasonable compensation" he'd awarded, including the fees equal to the $45,000 in compensatory and punitive damages the defendant had to pay. Thus, it argued, the entire $45,000 fell outside the amount of reasonable compensation that might be accorded superpriority. The law firm argued that Virginia law would consider the full contractual amount "reasonable compensation."
Judge Brinkema agreed with the government, finding that the superpriority exception only applied to that portion of the firm's fees that had been adjudged "reasonable" in the earlier matter.

Syracuse Basketball: Biggest 2013-14 Goal for Each Projected Starter
By Gene Siudut ,
C.J. Fair cuts down the net after his Syracuse Orange beat Marquette to advance to the Final Four last season.
The 2013-14 edition of the Syracuse men's basketball program has some lofty goals for the season, highest of which is cutting down the nets in Arlington, Texas, the site of the next national championship game.
In the last two seasons, Syracuse has made it to the Elite Eight and Final Four, successively, so continuing the pattern and getting back to the national championship game isn't too farfetched, but with a move to a more forward-driven lineup from the past few years of guard dominance, the Orange have their work cut out for them.
This means that to achieve the team's goal, each player must play a significant role in the development and maturation of the new Syracuse lineup.
Gone are Michael Carter-Williams, James Southerland and Brandon Triche, who were three of the top four scorers for the Orange. The Orange also lost one of the nation's leaders in assists and steals in Carter-Williams, its main three-point threat in Southerland and its defense-wrecking dynamo in Triche.
Combined, Triche, Carter-Williams and Southerland averaged 38.8 points, 13.5 rebounds and 12.0 assists per game.
The entire Syracuse roster averaged 70.4 points, 38.4 rebounds and 14.1 assists per game.
This means that Syracuse will enter this season without 55 percent of its scoring, 35 percent of its rebounding and 85 percent of its assists.
But all is not bleak.
Returning is senior forward C.J. Fair, who led the Orange in scoring, rebounding and, oh by the way, was almost a 47-percent three-point shooter (30-of-64).
Also stepping into the lineup is newcomer Tyler Ennis, who will be the Orange's starting—and only—point guard.
Some other familiar faces, such as Rakeem Christmas, Trevor Cooney and DaJuan Coleman, will pepper the lineup, which will have considerable size in both height and mass. The Orange's ability to use that size to its advantage while integrating its youth with its experience will be the key to the team's success throughout the year.
Here's a look at the biggest goals each starting player must achieve in order to make up for its losses from last year and have a successful season this year.
Follow Gene Siudut on Twitter @GeneSiudut
Tyler Ennis comes into his freshman year as the replacement for departed NBA-lottery pick Michael Carter-Williams.
At 6'2", Ennis stands about four inches shorter than Carter-Williams, but his decision making when passing, ability to control the tempo of the game and shooting range could help Ennis succeed where Carter-Williams tended to struggle.
But there's still a lot to account for.
Last season, as a sophomore, Carter-Williams averaged 11.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, including the post season. He was No. 3 in the nation in assists and No. 6 in the nation in steals. Lucky for Ennis, he doesn't have to be Michael Carter-Williams.
But he'll need to be close.
Carter-Williams was a great assist man, but he wasn't always a great passer. At almost 3.5 turnovers per game, he was one of the worst in the nation at giving the ball away. Furthermore, for a player who found himself frequently driving the lane, Carter-Williams shot only 39 percent from the field, and when he launched from beyond the arc, he was only a 29-percent shooter.
What made Carter-Williams special was his knack for the moment. Often, he was able to shake off a bad performance early and put his team on his back, as he did during the season against eventual national champion Louisville.
With C.J. Fair as the new team leader, Ennis won't need to put the team on his back, but he will have to sense the moment and be the court general his team will desperately need. He'll need to keep turnovers down, stay out of foul trouble and help draw the defense away from the forwards.
There's also the fact that he'll be the only freshman starter and could end up being the weak link in the 2-3 zone until he gets a few games under his belt. He will, of course, be learning on the job.
Ennis has a big task at hand. He comes in as a five-star recruit, and the sky is the limit for the young man.
His biggest goal for the season: Grow up quick.
Trevor Cooney came to Syracuse with a lot of hype as a three-point shooting marksman. In his debut season, things didn't work out according to plan as he only shot 26 percent from three, but the jury is still out on this young man, who could still prove to be a powerful outside weapon.
With James Southerland gone, who was the primary outside threat for the Orange last season, Cooney will certainly have a chance to prove himself. He has been taken under the wing of Syracuse assistant Gerry McNamara and has no real fear of being pulled as the depth on the bench for long-range shooters is a little lean this year.
His year of experience, combined with his added minutes this season, could be the recipe for an improved Cooney in the back court.
Cooney has only surpassed 20 minutes in a game four times, and each one of those games was a blow out, with garbage minutes being the key to his longevity. He'll need to make sure his conditioning is tip-top if he's going to have fresh legs at the end of a game when the Orange may rely on him to bury a few threes.
Cooney was a good defender last season, so the only real improvement he will have to make is his outside shooting percentage.
Trevor Cooney's biggest goal: Make his opponents respect his shot.
C.J. Fair decided to stick around for his senior season, which made Orange Nation very happy.
His opponents, however, may not feel the same way.
Fair is a five-tool player who is on the short list of favorites for ACC Player of the Year. All he needs to do to continue the path he's laid out for himself is keep working on his game and stay healthy.
Since suffering a knee injury during his junior year of high school, Fair has remained injury-free, save for a recent bruised leg during Syracuse's summer Canada swing, which is said to be a non-factor.
Fair possesses all the qualities needed to be a superstar this season.
His biggest goal: Stay healthy.
Rakeem Christmas is an interesting piece of the Syracuse puzzle because he is still an unknown quantity as it pertains to the Orange offense.
When motivated, Christmas is explosive to the basket, and his 7'2" wingspan gives him the physical tools to throw down on almost anyone in the nation. The problem is that he doesn't always seem motivated.
At times, Christmas seems passive and gives off a vibe that he is disinterested in being on the court.
This is, of course, purely speculative, but the difference between a disinterested Christmas and motivated Christmas is night and day.
Christmas is a physical specimen at 6'9" and 240 pounds and is poised to play a much bigger role in the Syracuse scheme. He more than doubled his output from his freshman year to his sophomore year in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots. If he continues that type of growth and becomes more assertive on the court, Syracuse will be a very dangerous offensive team.
Biggest goal for Christmas: Get more involved.
At 6'9" and 290 pounds, sophomore DaJuan Coleman is a beast of a man. He is strong, has a nose for the ball and can even score a little.
Coleman will be relied upon to anchor the Syracuse zone, but with that comes problems.
First problem is his left knee, which he had surgery on, but is now rehabbed and reportedly ready to go.
Second issue is his conditioning. Coleman played only 20 games last season, but his mass combined with the fast pace of the Orange offense left him winded and sometimes out of sorts on the court (i.e. bad fouls, poor footwork, etc).
Coleman's mission for this season should be to get himself in great playing shape. His size will get him noticed. His size combined with conditioning could make him feared.
Thankfully for Syracuse, Coleman is working to get into basketball shape with some added summer action.
Coleman's biggest goal: Get into shape and stay there.

So, you say you're shy, sweet stocky guy
Say you're not used to being fodder for my hungry eyes
Gonna lust you up
You say you've never had anyone knocking on your back door
Say you've got a girl out there, kinda, maybe....
Yeah, I believe you, sweet honey baby
You say you're confused by the way I make you feel
Groove on it dude, it's real
If am your nemesis why do you gaze
Through the tines of my fork with those big blue eyes
You see, I am the one in the maze
Reduced to a quivering wreck by the sight of your thighs
That you so carefully orchestrated
By fussing around in my armchair
Until the flesh you laid bare
Was as much as you dare
Give to me
You say I'm too much
I've always been straight
With you; Gonna lust you up
You giggle and wriggle when I tickle your tum
Aware no doubt of my proximity to your beefy bum
Your protestations fall on deaf ears
I am Cro-Magnon in my quest
Each time you sup
With me, dine with me, wine with me
I'm gonna lust you up

Sunday April 1. 2012
I had a dream the other night. I was on a bicycle. I'd gone off the beaten path, the known and familiar; down a hill, into the back lots of commercial buildings, unafraid, adventurous, admiring the abilities of the bike I was riding, made for the journey and the rugged terrain. Sure I knew my way, I followed some railroad tracks for a while as a guide, going through a tunnel aware of my end if a train were to suddenly come, but having made it through, the tracks begin to bend away from the route of my destination. I decide to continue my journey away from the bend in the tracks and toward my route once again. Just as I do, a train barrels mightily towards the tunnel. I got out of the tunnel just in time, avoiding my demise. I can no longer travel by bike, as a large building marks the end of the bike path and obstructs any further travel. I must enter the building to get back to street level and my destination. The building inside seems to be an old abandoned theater; dark and dreary. I don't like it there and am unimpressed, even with its old ornate architecture. Even in its heyday it would have been unimpressive to me. Nothing stands out as beautiful or attractive. There are many rooms, and I enter one after another trying to find my out. None of the rooms show the way out. I stumble upon one room where a lone barber stands cutting a mans hair, and many solemn faced men are sitting in chairs waiting. It seems depressing to me. I leave that room opening a door, and in the next room there are even more men waiting outside of the first one. The sight intensifies the feeling I had in the first room and I want to get away fast. There is an ominous feeling and I don't want to be there any longer. Finally, I open a door to what seemed to be an old , grand ballroom at the other end of the large room. I see a window with light shining through, a door with windows. But I have to walk across a weak, rickety, hole-filled floor to get to the door. The floor is dangerously close to caving in as I carefully walk across avoiding holes in the floor. At one point the floor gives in beneath me and I am in danger of certain peril. As my legs dangle beneath the hole, I peer down into the hole, past my dangling legs to see what is beneath me, but I see nothing but darkness and what seems an infinite abyss. It is then somehow I pull myself up and out of the hole and finally reach the door where I kick and break the glass, kicking desperately to make sure the hole in the glass is large enough for me to crawl through without cutting myself on the jagged edges of the windows frame. I then, suddenly, notice that the door is open and all I have to do is simply step through and out on to the street. I am out on street level into the bright sun and the colors of the day away from the drabby grey of the theater. I am free! I meet a group of friends and tell them my story. A girl is a part of that group, although not with them, it seems, but is studying somewhere the Bible. I and the group of friends are outside talking. Both her home and the place where she studies are within our sight and we are between the two places.

St. Louis, Mo., September 10, 2011 — The No. 16 ranked Washington University in St. Louis women's soccer team erased a 2-0 halftime deficit with three goals in the second half to rally for a 3-2 victory over DePauw University in the Washington University Classic on Saturday night in St. Louis, Mo.
Washington University (4-0) concludes play in the Washington University Classic on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 4 p.m., against Rhodes College. The Bears will host its 2011 Red Card Cancer event on Sunday, with proceeds going directly to the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Cancer Research Center. The game will be broadcast live on http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/wustl.portal#.
It took Washington U. just 32 seconds into the second half to trim the lead in half. Following a foul 35 yards out by DePauw, sophomore Kate Doyle sent a free kick into the box that was flicked by senior Lee Ann Felder to senior Emma Brown, who one-timed into the back of the net.
Brown tied the game at 2-2 at the 54:17 mark, as she corralled a loose ball in the box and fired a left-footed shot to the near corner. The goal for Brown was her fifth of the season and 26th of her career, sixth most in school history.
The game remained knotted at two apiece until the 75th minute. Similar to first goal of the game for the Bears, Doyle sent a free kick into the box that landed on the foot of junior Lauren Clatch, who beat DePauw goalkeeper Caroline Kerr with a shot for the eventual game-winner. The goal for Clatch was her first of the season and second of her career.
Washington U. outshot DePauw, 29-4, and had a 9-0 advantage in corner kicks. Junior goalkeeper Clara Jaques picked up the win in goal making one save, while Kerr made 16 saves in the defeat for DePauw.
DePauw (1-3) struck first in the seventh minute to jump out to an early 1-0 lead. After DePauw was fouled just outside the box, Alex Ehr snuck a free kick from 20 yards out past Jacques for her third goal of the season.
A defense lapse by the Bears resulted in the second goal of the game by DePauw at the 15:43 mark of the first half. Ehr was once again involved in the goal, this time with the assist. She sent a ball into the box to Chloe Jacob, who one-timed the cross past Jaques after being left unmarked.
The Tigers scored on their first two shots of the game and was outshot by Washington U., 15-3, in the opening 45 minutes of play. Kerr made 10 saves in the first half, including a breakaway save on sophomore Jessica Johnson at the 32:52 mark.
In the opening game of the Washington University Classic, Rhodes scored five goals in the first half en route to a 6-0 win over Fontbonne University. Fontbonne hosts DePauw on Sunday at 3 p.m.

Insert Coin: Berlin Boombox recyclable cardboard stereo (video)
In Insert Coin, we look at an exciting new tech project that requires funding before it can hit production. If you'd like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with "Insert Coin" as the subject line.
It's been years since we've spotted a proper handle-sporting boombox on this side of the equator (in public, at least), but we're decidedly impressed with this unique Kickstarter creation, dubbed the Berlin Boombox. Constructed nearly entirely of cardboard, save for some metal- and plastic-based essentials, the speaker rig ships disassembled in a flat cardboard box. Getting the Boombox up and running shouldn't require much effort, however — the designer states that you won't need any tools during the quick assembly process. After you're done, you can connect the setup to any source with a 3.5mm headphone jack, then control volume with the large aluminum power/volume knob. The Berlin Boombox also ships with four AA batteries, though it's not clear how many hours of music you'll be able to pipe through the speakers with that initial set of cells. We also can't speak to sound quality, though there is a free custom sound profile available for iOS devices — audio "will be remastered in real-time to use the full potential of the Berlin Boombox."
You can pre-order your own with a $50 pledge, saving you 9 bucks off the estimated retail price. There's also a "limited edition" two-tone box, available with a $100 pledge, while $250 will net you a custom-designed model, which can also be paired with a dinner and tour of Berlin with the inventor if you're willing to fork over $500 or more. There's just shy of two weeks left during the funding period — you'll need to provide that financial support before noon on April 25th. The project is on track to meet its $14,000 funding goal, however, so it's fairly safe to say that you'll be able to snag one of these cardboard contraptions even if you aren't ready to take the plunge just yet. Jump past the break to see the Berlin Boombox in action, and to catch up with our last Insert Coin project: The PowerPot.
