Leal Theatre
3911 Washington Boulevard,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 8 comments
You should post the source whenever possible. If anyone disputes that information, your covered.
A book called "Images of America, Irvington and Fremont, CA". Page 66, at the bottom.
My Great Grandfather Frank Albert Leal built the Leal Theater in approx. 1915, it opened for business around 1918. The idea for building the 1st theater between Oakland and San Jose come to him after watching movies being shoot in The Niles, Ca, also now part of Fremont. The family ran the theater with my Grandmother Mary E. Freitas playing the organ and my Grand Aunt Anna Perry working as an usher and many cousin working the ticket window, etc. The Theatre was open until my Great Grandfather's death in 1944, but was reopened by the family shortly after that and ran until around 1954. My Mother Dorothy A. Misener was actully in the Theater watching a movie in 1945, when her name flashed on the screen, she had a phone call, to doulble with a cousin that was an leave from his ship docked in S.F. The double date was with a tall good looking Navy Man who as you may have guested was my father Jack Misener. The building is indeed still there, in the 1980's the City Fremont and the Irington Township historical Society earmarked it as a Historical Landmark.
Many, many years later I have followed my Great Grandfather into the business and I am now the General Manager of Platinum Theatres Dinuba 6 in Dinuba, Ca near Fresno. It is 6 screen, state of the art Theatre built in 2003. Frank would be so proud.
Thank You for reading,
Patricia Gabriel
According to the "Made of Bricks" Web site. The address of the Leal Theatre is: 3911 Washington Blvd. Fremont, CA.
The upper half of the facade still retains its original brickwork, and a terra cotta glazed LEAL THEATRE sign up near the cornice.

Unfortunately in the history of writing, with the exceptions of parodies and trolls, I don't think anyone has ever written a character with the intention of making them a Sue. The kids who rush off to FF to post their written-in-an-afternoon-self-insert-fic-of-wish-fulfillment generally don't expect to get flamed. They expect everyone to see this awesome character who kicks butt just like they do.Originally Posted by Gliscor'd

Based on the true childhood experiences of director Noah Baumbach, The Squid and the Whale tells the story of a patriarch (Jeff Daniels, Dumb & Dumber, Speed) of an eccentric Brooklyn family who once had been a great novelist, but has settled into a teaching job. When his wife (Laura Linney, Exorcism of Emily Rose, Kinsey) discovers a writing talent of her own, jealousy divides the family, leaving two teenage sons to forge new relationships with their parents. Linney's character begins dating her younger son's tennis coach (William Baldwin, Backdraft, Flatliners). Meanwhile, Daniels' character has an affair with the student (Anna Paquin, X-Men, Almost Famous) his older son is pursuing.
In his third feature, director Noah Baumbach scores a triumph with an autobiographical coming-of-age story about a teenager whose writer-parents are divorcing. The father (Jeff Daniels) and mother (Laura Linney) duke it out in half-civilized, half-savage fashion, while their two sons adapt in different ways, shifting allegiances between parents.

The Etude Pinot Noir Carneros Estate hails from our vineyard tucked away in the far northwest corner of the Carneros appellation. Unlike customary Carneros acreage, which is largely uplifted bay bottoms with soils composed of clay, the soils on the Etude Estate site are variations of volcanic origin. They are well-drained, rocky upland soils. Combining these soils with the extreme western location closer to the Pacific Ocean makes this site a decidedly distinct destination.
True ruby in color, the 2008 Pinot Noir bottling offers aromas of strawberries and sous bois mingled with aromatic woods. Hints of sandalwood and cedar on the nose are followed by elegant fruit flavor on the palate. Berry, plum and a cherry core introduce the wine. The saturated cherry and confiture notes are rounded out by brown spice, clove and oak toast on the finish. A lushness arises from the warmer growing season, creating a lively and defined Pinot Noir with freshness and length.
"The least expensive offering, the 2008 Pinot Noir Estate exhibits copious aromas of forest floor, strawberries, black cherries and hints of Allspice and herbs. Medium-bodied, beautifully textured and complex, it is ideal for drinking now and over the next 5-6 years." 91 Points The Wine Advocate
The underlying philosophy at Etude Wines is that winemaking begins in the vineyard, long before the grapes are harvested. Winemaker, Jon Priest, believes that superior grape growing diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker and results in a wine that is grown, not made. Etude specializes in two classic red varieties: Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Though modeled on the best from Burgundy to Bordeaux, these wines speak clearly of their contemporary California origins, combining rich, ripe fruit with an elegant and opulent mouth feel.
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Notable Facts Both Chardonnay...Read More About Carneros

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) is an analytical technique for determining trace multi-elemental and isotopic concentrations in liquid, solid, or gaseous samples. It combines an ion-generating argon plasma source with the sensitive detection limit of mass spectrometry detection. Although ICP-MS is used for many different types of elemental analysis, including pharmaceutical testing and reagent manufacturing, this module will focus on its applications in mineral and water studies. Although akin to ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy), ICP-MS has significant differences, which will be mentioned as well.
Basic instrumentation and operation
As shown in Figure 1 there are several basic components of an ICP-MS instrument, which consist of a sampling interface, a peristaltic pump leading to a nebulizer, a spray chamber, a plasma torch, a detector, an interface, and ion-focusing system, a mass-separation device, and a vacuum chamber, maintained by turbo molecular pumps. The basic operation works as follows: a liquid sample is pumped into the nebulizer to convert the sample into a spray. An internal standard, such as germanium, is pumped into a mixer along with the sample prior to nebulization to compensate for matrix effects. Large droplets are filtered out, and small droplets continue into the plasma torch, turning to ions. The mass separation device separates these ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio. An ion detector then converts these ions into an electrical signal, which is multiplied and read by computer software.
The main difference between ICP-MS and ICP-AES is the way in which the ions are generated and detected. In ICP-AES, the ions are excited by vertical plasma, emitting photons that are separated on the basis of their emission wavelengths. As implied by the name, ICP-MS separates the ions, generated by horizontal plasma, on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratios (m/z). In fact, caution is taken to prevent photons from reaching the detector and creating background noise. The difference in ion formation and detection methods has a significant impact on the relative sensitivities of the two techniques. While both methods are capable of very fast, high throughput multi-elemental analysis (~10 - 40 elements per minute per sample), ICP-MS has a detection limit of a few ppt to a few hundred ppm, compared to the ppb-ppm range (~1 ppb - 100 ppm) of ICP-AES. ICP-MS also works over eight orders of magnitude detection level compared to ICP-AES' six. As a result of its lower sensitivity, ICP-MS is a more expensive system. One other important difference is that only ICP-MS can distinguish between different isotopes of an element, as it segregates ions based on mass. A comparison of the two techniques is summarized in Table 1.
Plasma | Horizontal: generates cations | Vertical: excites atoms, which emit photons |
Ion detection | Mass-to-charge ratio | Wavelength of emitted light |
Detection limit | 1-10 ppt | 1-10 ppb |
Working range | 8 orders of magnitude | 6 orders of magnitude |
Throughput | 20-30 elements per minute | 10-40 elements per minute |
Isotope detection | Yes | No |
Cost | ~$150,000 | ~$50,000 |
Multi-element detection | Yes | Yes |
Spectral interferences | Predictable, less than 300 | Much greater in number and more complicated to correct |
Routine accessories | Electrothermal vaporization, laser ablation, high-performance liquid chromatography, etc. | Rare |
Sample preparation
With such small sample sizes, care must be taken to ensure that collected samples are representative of the bulk material. This is especially relevant in rocks and minerals, which can vary widely in elemental content from region to region. Random, composite, and integrated sampling are each different approaches for obtaining representative samples.
Because ICP-MS can detect elements in concentrations as minute as a few nanograms per liter (parts per trillion), contamination is a very serious issue associated with collecting and storing samples prior to measurements. In general, use of glassware should be minimized, due to leaching impurities from the glass or absorption of analyte by the glass. If glass is used, it should be washed periodically with a strong oxidizing agent, such as chromic acid (H2Cr2O7), or a commercial glass detergent. In terms of sample containers, plastic is usually better than glass, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and Teflon® being regarded as the cleanest plastics. However, even these materials can contain leachable contaminants, such as phosphorus or barium compounds. All containers, pipettes, pipette tips, and the like should be soaked in 1 - 2% HNO3. Nitric acid is preferred over HCl, which can ionize in the plasma to form 35Cl16O+ and 40Ar35Cl+, which have the same mass-to-charge ratios as 51V+ and 75As+, respectively. If possible, samples should be prepared as close as possible to the ICP-MS instrument without being in the same room.
With the exception of solid samples analyzed by laser ablation ICP-MS, samples must be in liquid or solution form. Solids are ground into a fine powder with a mortar and pestle and passed through a mesh sieve. Often the first sample is discarded to prevent contamination from the mortar or sieve. Powders are then digested with ultrapure concentrated acids or oxidizing agents, like chloric acid (HClO3), and diluted to the correct order of magnitude with 1 - 2% trace metal grade nitric acid.
Once in liquid or solution form, the samples must be diluted with 1 - 2% ultrapure HNO3 to a low concentration to produce a signal intensity lower than about 106 counts. Not all elements have the same concentration to intensity correlation; therefore, it is safer to test unfamiliar samples on ICP-AES first. Once properly diluted, the sample should be filtered through a 0.25 - 0.45 μm membrane to remove particulates.
Gaseous samples can also be analyzed by direct injection into the instrument. Alternatively, gas chromatography equipment can be coupled to an ICP-MS machine for separation of multiple gases prior to sample introduction.
Multi- and single-element standards can be purchased commercially, and must be diluted further with 1 - 2% nitric acid to prepare different concentrations for the instrument to create a calibration curve, which will be read by the computer software to determine the unknown concentration of the sample. There should be several standards, encompassing the expected concentration of the sample. Completely unknown samples should be tested on less sensitive instruments, such as ICP-AES or EDXRF (energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence), before ICP-MS.

Men's preview: Big 12 Conference
The littlest putts used to give Jace Long the biggest problems. Now, his ability to overcome an early onset of the yips has helped the Missouri junior become one of the most prolific winners in college golf.
In spring 2010, Tigers coach Mark Leroux developed a plan to help Long sink more short putts. "He used to miss one or two every tournament," Leroux said. "Short ones – 18 inches, 24 inches. That'd be the difference right there."
So, in practice, the coach set up three tees 3 feet from the cup. Long had to then make 30 consecutive putts to move from that spot. When he did, they set up at 4 feet. Twenty in a row. Then 5 feet. Ten in a row.
Using a new routine that involved simply putting down a coin, lining up a putt and letting it go – no practice strokes, no time to let doubt creep in – Long won three consecutive events last spring, then shot a final-round 62 to share medalist honors at the NCAA Southeast Regional.
In the fall, Long won twice and never finished outside the top 19. He's risen to No. 53 in Golfweek's rankings.
There still is room for improvement, sure, particularly in terms of course management. Leroux recalled a moment during the final round at the 2011 NCAA regional, during Long's record-low round. On the par-5 16th at Golden Ocala, Long blasted his drive way right into the trees, and his ball came to rest on dirt and pine straw. Seeing a small gap through the trees -- emphasis on small -- he attempted a miracle shot that ricocheted off a pine tree and luckily stayed inbounds. He managed to save par, but the questionable decision-making nearly cost him a shot at the title.
"He just needs to keep growing," Leroux said. "Jace is a great talent."

Conference capsules
Texas (Golfweek/Sagarin Ranking: No. 1)Three consecutive wins to close the fall, and the Longhorns boast the top two ranked players in college golf: senior Dylan Frittelli and freshman Jordan Spieth, who blew away the field at Isleworth. The team to beat this spring. |
Texas A&M (No. 13)The Aggies won at Royal Oaks, but more is expected in the spring with Jordan Russell and Cameron Peck rounding into form. |
Oklahoma State (No. 23)Unexpected departure of Peter Uihlein leaves a major void in the Cowboys' lineup. Without the 2011 Hogan Award winner, OK State went 3rd-10th-9th in the fall. |
Baylor (No. 29)Bears played well in their first three tournaments, and their ranking would have been even higher had Lorenzo Scotto not missed the final two events of the fall. |
Oklahoma (No. 33)Mediocre fall, highlighted by a victory at the David Toms. Other players must step up, however, to help Abraham Ancer. |
Iowa State (No. 51)Cyclones got better as the fall went on, culminating with a victory in October at the Bridgestone Invitational over teams like N.C. State, Virginia Tech and North Carolina. |
Missouri (No. 65)Even though the Tigers have yet to band together to win a team title, junior Jace Long has backed up his stellar sophomore season with another strong campaign. |
Texas Tech (No. 77)Low finishes in final two events of the fall (Jack Nicklaus and Isleworth) leave a bad taste for Red Raiders. |
Kansas State (No. 110)After starting the season as an individual, freshman Kyle Weldon has four top 20s in five official starts. That's promising stuff for a very young Wildcats team. |
Kansas (No. 138)Jayhawks no better than fifth (twice) in five starts, so plenty of room for improvement. |
Conference championshipBig 12 Championship, April 27-29, Whispering Pines GC, Trinity, Texas |
Lance Ringler's predictionTexas. Sure, Texas A&M or possibly Oklahoma State could give the Longhorns a run this spring. But, at this point, not picking Texas to win the Big 12 title at Whispering Pines in April would be silly. |

Come All Ye, Faithfully: Tourists Mob Harlem Churches For A Glimpse of The Gospel
A little before 9 a.m. Sunday morning, the wind chill was 11 degrees and the line to get into the Abyssinian Baptist Church already stretched down Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard, and was beginning to turn down 136th Street. And still they came. Out of the subway they marched, in purple puffy jackets, blood orange sneakers, blindingly yellow scarves, in two and threes, like a rainbow coming unspun on the streets of Harlem, exotic cigarettes in one hand, foreign language guidebooks in the other, all pointing them the same direction: Abyssinian.

Eric and Jordan Staal are about to go where only the Espositos, the Plagers and the McCrearys have gone before.
When the puck drops Monday night on TSN for the opening game of the Carolina Hurricanes/Pittsburgh Penguins series, it will mark only the fifth time in NHL history that siblings have skated against each other in the Conference finals. The last time a brother act such as this occurred was in 1974 - when Phil Esposito's Bruins faced Tony's Blackhawks. The rarity of the occurrence was not lost on the Staals.
"This is the best time of the year to play hockey," said Eric in a conference call held by the NHL on Friday. "When brothers are playing against each other in the Conference finals it's exciting not only for yourselves but for the rest of your family for sure."
There will be a lot of bragging rights on the line for the brothers, who have already accomplished a great deal in their young NHL careers. Hurricane Eric (the oldest of the four Staal spawn) already has a Stanley Cup ring to his name, along with four All-Star Game appearances.
Jordan, meanwhile, was a Calder trophy finalist in 2007 and, in 2008, helped lead the Penguins to their first Stanley Cup final appearance since 1992. Both players are predicting big things in the upcoming matchup.
"I'm due for a really big game," joked Eric.
"So am I," agreed Jordan. "I'm going to break out in this series like crazy."
After a solid regular season that saw him reach the 40-goal plateau for the second time in his career, Eric has raised his level of play in the playoffs, leading the 'Canes in goals (nine) and points (13) and likely cementing his spot on Canada's Olympic team for the 2010 Games.
While Jordan has yet to repeat his offensive explosion as a rookie - where he scored 29 goals and set a rookie record with seven short-handed markers - he did enjoy a solid regular season, finding the back of the net 22 times and adding 27 assists while skating in all 82 games. In 13 playoff games, he has added a pair of goals and three assists.
Known as one of the better two-way centres in the league, Jordan could well be asked to shadow his older brother in the upcoming Eastern Conference finals, a challenge that both siblings say they welcome.
"He's obviously played well against the other teams' top lines in the last two series or they (Pittsburgh) wouldn't be where they are right now," stated Eric, sounding like a proud older brother.
"For me it's about focusing and playing my game no matter who I'm matched up against on the other side. It will be the same if it is against Jordie."
On Thursday, Jordan ratcheted up the rivalry by alluding to the game of one-upmanship put on by Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin in Game 2 of their series that saw the superstars traded hat tricks.
"With me playing there's always a good chance for hat tricks," laughed the younger Staal. "I don't know about Eric."
The rivalry also extended off the ice where the elder Eric conceded victory to the younger Jordan in one key area.
"His playoff beard is better than mine, mine is pretty bad," Eric admitted. "But he was a grown man at age 12 and I didn't hit puberty until age 20."
Despite skating against each other for the past three seasons, this will be the first playoff encounter between the two brothers, but Jordan likely got a good preview of what to expect by facing sibling Marc in the second round last season when the Penguins eliminated Marc's New York Rangers in five games. Marc wouldn't reveal on which side his loyalties lie for the upcoming series.
"I don't know who he's going to be cheering for," Jordan admitted. "He texted me last night and said that it was going to be a tough series to watch. It's going to be interesting to see which side the family rolls on."
With brother Marc manning the blueline in Manhattan and youngest brother Jared taken second-round pick of the Phoenix Coyotes last summer, this could likely be the first of many times that parents Henry and Linda Staal will be forced to watch their boys go head-to-head.
"To be honest I feel bad, but it's so hard on our parents when they are at the games," Eric said. "They don't know who to cheer for."
"I think their plan is to stay home and watch it on TV."
Regardless of who prevails, it will be the third time in four years that a Staal brother will compete for the Cup.
"Once the series starts, you are in that zone, you're in your game and once it's over, it's over," said Eric. "We're still brothers, we're still family. One is going to be disappointed and one's going to be excited. In the end that's the way it had to be and this is the challenge that we've got in front of us and we're excited about it."

On Wednesday, September 12, 2012 the University of Notre Dame officially became a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. All of Notre Dame's athletic programs, except for football, will fully compete in the ACC. Starting in 2013, all other ACC football programs will play 9 conference games each year, while Notre Dame's football program will compete in only 5. This special arrangement allows the Fighting Irish to keep their football independence, while initiating a severely impactful culture change in the ACC. A culture of concessions and special treatment for Notre Dame will negatively impact many future situations the conference will encounter. This type of culture will weaken the ACC in the long run.
Notre Dame is leaving the pastures of the Big East for the greener pastures of the ACC. What will this mean for Miami Hurricanes hoops?
Apparently game ending big plays in Denver against the Steelers do not sit well those from bandwagon nation in attendance.

Poor turnout for storm aid in Passaic County
Officials at a federal disaster recovery office in Paterson are concerned that local businesses and individuals are not getting the financial help they may need as an important deadline for Sandy relief approaches.
The deadline for homeowners, renters, businesses and non-profit organizations to apply for low-interest U.S. Small Business Administration loans earmarked for the repair or replacement of storm-damaged property is Dec. 31.
The number of loan requests in Passaic County has been far less than expected, said Cynthia Cowell, public information officer for the SBA's Office of Disaster Assistance. Only 42 households and only six business owners have applied since President Obama declared the county, and the entire state, a disaster area in early November.
"It hasn't been as brisk as it should be," Cowell said, "It's very, very slow at the office. There is no waiting."
Many businesses, which generally are not eligible for assistance grants, are reluctant to take on debt because of the economy, she said.
Those who could benefit from SBA loans to pay for economic damage — mainly from lost business because of power outages — have more time to apply. That deadline is July 31.
Federal disaster officials say those seeking assistance should first register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which in Passaic County shares space with the SBA in the recovery center at the old county building at 317 Pennsylvania Ave. in Paterson.
People can also register with FEMA online at www.fema.gov or call 800-621-FEMA (3362).
Depending on their situation, they may then be referred to SBA loan specialists, who will determine if they qualify for a loan. The rates are as low as 1.688 percent for households and 4 percent for businesses and non-profits; borrowers may get as much as 30 years to repay.
Those who do not qualify may be referred back to FEMA, where they may be eligible for grants through the Individuals and Households Program of up to $31,900 for temporary housing and home repairs. Grants do not have to be repaid, and in some instances people can qualify for loans and grants, Cowell said. Funds are sometimes available to replace damaged automobiles, if the owner did not have enough insurance, she said.

A Fresh Take on an Old-Fashioned Maine Home
To update a traditional cottage, designer Tom Scheerer tempered fancy chintz with locally-made wicker furniture, added botanical prints, and even installed Formica in the kitchen. Flip through to see all of his interior design work.
By James Servin
Water View
The Colonial house sits directly on Somes Sound. To make it look "more Maine," Scheerer shingled the exterior and changed trim from white to Essex Green by Benjamin Moore.
Unexpected Mix
Designer Tom Scheerer deftly put together a disparate mix in the living room of a coastal Maine house. Antique Bar Harbor wicker chairs, a Saarinen coffee table, and a Victorian-style sofa sit on a Moroccan rug from Shyam Ahuja. An ebony and gold-leafed Empire mirror hangs between curtains in Lee Jofa's Hollyhock chintz. "The combination is odd and unexpected but somehow works," Scheerer says. For the sofa, he had Quadrille's Henriot Floral printed onto a sturdy cotton ticking, Malabar's Chetti Ticka.
Dignified Dining Room
The dining room is wrapped with scenic wallpaper digitally created from images of 19th-century landscapes by the artist Fitz Hugh Lane. Scheerer designed the square table for the square-shaped room: "A big, round table is only good for a crowd, but this is perfect for two or twelve." The curvaceous base and white Formica top add a quirky twist; so do the black bentwood chairs surrounding it.
Cozy Seating Area
Rounded shapes lend softness to a seating area in the living room, a cozy blend of plush and informal. A vintage American basketball hoop takes center stage on a rattan scroll table, also vintage. The sofa is covered in Malabar''s Chetti Ticka.
Ready to Play
A backgammon board on a card table topped with needlepoint adds a preppy touch.
Art in the Stairwell
A casual grouping of Swedish bird prints by Olof Rudbeck along the staircase.
Master Bedroom
A liberal assortment of mirrors, prints, and sconces in the master bedroom "offers an American version of an English look."
Boy's Bedroom
A Maine state flag in a boy's bedroom "takes the granny out of granny's bedit actually was inherited from his grandmother." The wall is covered with Spatter by Hinson.
Staircase with Stripes
A Noguchi lantern breaks up the lines of the staircase.
Traditional Guest Room
A guest bedroom has a deliberately old-fashioned look. Wallpaper is Adam's Eden by Carleton V. Chenille candlewick bedspreads by Chelsea Textiles.
Nature-Inspired Room
Scheerer visually linked twin beds in a girl's room with a single headboard, covered in Botanical Fern by Schumacher. "I thought it was appropriate for a Maine house," he says. "It's a paradise of ferns here."
Eat-in Kitchen
Built-in banquettes in the kitchen cozy up to a table with a blue Formica top.
Outdoor Space
He also added a porch, because "a summer house shouldn't be porchless." Skylights give it more light on gray days. All-weather wicker by Whitecraft.

CASEY GLADNEYPosition: ATH Ht: 6'1" | Wt: 180 lbs | Forty: 4.45 High School: Columbia (Columbia, SC) DTN Profile Video: Clip 1 | Clip 2 Rivals | Scout | ESPN | 24/7 Sports Cumulative Ranking: 74.2 Rankings
Rivals | , 5.5 Rivals Rating Scout | ESPN | , 80 Grade 24/7 Sports | , 89 Rating |
This was the surprise commitment from Wednesday and it's one of those pleasant surprises, but there's a reason why Gladney flipped from Alabama to Texas Tech. When Gladney initially committed to Alabama, it was with the caveat that Gladney would need to work in order to qualify. That is apparently still the case, and there's certainly nothing wrong with taking a chance on a kid might qualify. Add to this situation and the SEC is now limiting their recruiting classes to 25 and I'm guessing that a school like Alabama cannot take a chance on signing a player that has a very good chance of not qualifying academically. Texas Tech, obviously still can, and the mere fact that Alabama thought that Gladney had value very early is a nice indicator of his potential. I wouldn't expect any news on Gladney qualifying until after summer school.
As you'll note, I've listed Gladney as an athlete as he played both receiver and defensive back in high school. On NSD, OC Neal Brown talked a bit about what he could do on offense and then Tuberville talked about him on defense. And don't chalk this up to confusion on the staff's part, at least that's not what I think, but rather I think that he has that sort of potential to be an impact athlete on either side of the ball.
The Player Speaks
When Gladney committed, per the St. Andrews Patch, he said that he has a chance to qualify:
"Gladney said he expects to be on the field in his first season at Texas Tech.
'I've got a positive chance to qualify and I'm ready to go,' he said. "
Like a lot of kids, he said he expects to be on the field, but there's a long list of players that are in front of him. Gladney also admitted that he knew he has faults:
"I know I'm going to have my downfalls," he said, "but I'm going to play hard on the field and study hard in the classroom."
Scouting Report
Per the LAJ, I thought I'd offer up what OC Neal Brown had to say on NSD:
"He was committed to Alabama through the whole process," Brown said, "versatile athlete, can play either side of the ball. If we get to use him, which hopefully we can, he's a long kid who plays outside receiver, has got really good ball skills and really good speed for his size. He's explosive. So a guy that can make a lot of plays in our system."
And also per the LAJ, Tuberville thinks highly of Gladney:
Tuberville called Gladney "an exact replica" of San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl cornerback Carlos Rogers, whom he coached at Auburn.
"Gladney is one of those same guys," Tuberville said. "He could probably come in tomorrow and be a starter or backup for us at corner with his athletic ability and his height."
I think that Gladney represents really good value (I hate talking about a human being like this, but I'll continue) as he has the same types of measurables as guys like LaDarius Newbold and Thierry Nguema, around 6-1/180 and can run a 4.40 (obviously a fake 40-yard dash time, but that's what's reported). Newbold was considered one of the players that needed to sign with Texas Tech to be considered a successful class and I think it's encouraging that Gladney is a similar player in terms of size and speed. The size and speed combination are not necessarily common qualities for cornerbacks, at least for Texas Tech and as I think back on the current roster, the only cornerback that is over six feet is Tre Porter. Now, there are potentially three cornerbacks with some height. Gladney is a long athlete and he does have a long stride on the video that makes me think that Tuberville's assessment is accurate:
Casey Gladney (via mansfief100)
And when Tuberville says that he can be a starter, I think that Tuberville is saying is that he has the athletic ability to start right now, which I think he does, but I don't think that he probably has the technique to start. Not only that, with a kid that struggles with grades, I've somewhat thought that it might take a bit of time to adjust to the college life and it might be smart to just focus on academics for a while.
Casey, welcome to Texas Tech and Git Your Guns Up!
The 2012 Class
After the jump.
Cumulative ranking explanation here. Cumulative ranking data here. Quick and easy explanation:
The idea is to take all of the data from all of the recruiting services and put it into just one number. Thus, the idea is that a grade of 68 or 69 is a thee-star player, while a ranking of 83 or 84 is a four-star player. Anything in between those numbers or lower means that the player most likely has a lower grade with one service or another. For example, Quinton White is thought of by all the recruiting experts as a solid three-star player. While a player like Clayton Nicholas is mostly a three-star player but ESPN does give him a four-star grade, so his grade is a bit higher.

Beautiful Villa, Service not quite there.
We stayed at Il Salviatino for 3 days on this package. I realize they have only been open for about 1.5 years, so I think they need to improve on management and service. Some of the 'ambassadors' were a bit young and others were just trying so hard they were messing up a (cold coffee when it got to the room each morning, the wrong breakfast, errors on our bill etc...and I even speak Italian!).
They seemed to be attempting so much formality that the atmosphere was very cold and stiff.
They forgot all of our package details, even though I showed them the luxury link document right away. They still billed us for the breakfast in our room (if you order anything in your room it's an extra 10 euro per person), our welcome drinks were not served when we arrived, and when I asked and finally got them, they too ended up on our final bill. Make sure you check your bill for these errors before departing.
The massage was good but they played bad semi-disco music, hardly relaxing, but a beautiful facility (I just asked her to turn it off).
The dinner was very good, but it took over 1 hour for our appetizers so plan at least a 2.5 hour meal. A few customers were angry about how long the food took, we just planned for this. The waiter suggested two Vin Santos after dinner (an inexpensive winter dessert wine). The total came to be about $30 which is way overpriced for this young seasonal wine, so be careful on what you purchase there.
On the other hand, our room was very beautiful and clean. There was no place to put your suitcase and seriously dim light in the bathroom, but the architecture made up for that which was lacking. We had a terrace room with plants and a view. It was really beautiul, but there was no door from the room to the terrace and our neighbors were loud (you cannot see them but you can hear them through the thin terrace windows) and there was no way to shut off the noise.
It's a very beautiful experience and I can imagine in warmer weather the garden and pool would be wonderful. Hopefully the service will improve over time and it will feel a bit more relaxing. It's a very elegant and lovely hotel.

Great hotel with great service
We stayed three nights and had a wonderful stay. The room was large, comfortable with a large rain shower and wonderful furnishings. The AC worked very well. Service was great. Always a hello, every issue was dealt with quickly, etc. Only poor part was the Spa. The massage was not very good.
