All-Star program adds a twist
Team-customized versions give fans unique experience
Not everyone gets to make the trip to San Francisco for the All-Star Game, but at least now every fan will feel a part of the Midsummer magic thanks to customized team programs.For the first time this year, the Official All-Star Game Programs will be customized with team-specific covers. Normally, the program cover highlights the hosting team but this year, additional covers will be designed to showcase a star from each of the 30 Major League clubs. More than bringing a personal touch to the All-Star programs, the limited edition programs will make great collectors' items. The customized programs will be printed every year from here out, and are an easy way to chronicle a team's All-Star history, vice president of publishing Don Hintze said. "It will be great to collect these programs. It's just a great way of honoring the individual teams and their star players," Hintze said. "We really wanted to bring the All-Star Game to each market, and it's a lot of fun to have your star player on the cover." Each program will contain more than 250 pages of photos and original editorial content. Most notable will be a section on San Francisco baseball, a section highlighting the history of the Home Run Derby and a feature on the best baserunners in baseball, all written by the best. Contributing writers include nationally syndicated columnist George Will, Kansas City Star columnist Joe Posnanski, senior MLB columnist Ken Rosenthal (FoxSports.com) and national baseball writers Jayson Stark and Jerry Crasnick, both from ESPN.com. The customized programs will be printed in limited quantities and sold at Team Shops and Modell's Sporting Goods. If you want a specific team cover, but don't live by that particular Team Shop, the best bet is the MLB.com Shop. "The 2007 Official All-Star Game Program Limited Player Edition books afford fans the opportunity to celebrate their favorite teams and those players who are participating in the Midsummer Classic," said Howard Smith, senior vice president, licensing, Major League Baseball. "The All-Star Game Program represents the aura of the event long after the final out is recorded, and these limited editions will evoke special memories about the teams and players involved." 2007 Official All-Star Program Limited Player Editions Team Player, Cover Arizona Diamondbacks, Orlando Hudson

Components of the policy
The networking and information infrastructure (NII) is the supporting structure that enables collaboration and information sharing amongst users and reduces the decision-cycle time. This infrastructure enables the connection of existing networks in an agile and seamless manner.
This leads to Information Superiority, which is the ability to get the right information to the right people at the right time. NATO defines information superiority as the operational advantage derived from the ability to collect, process, and disseminate an uninterrupted flow of information while exploiting or denying an adversary's ability to do the same.
The NNEC programme provides various benefits to all levels, military and civilian. Some of these benefits are: .
- Improved efficiency
- Drastic increase in interoperability between nations
- Improved and secure way of sharing information
- Better information quality
- Faster decisions and speed of command.
NNEC aims to ensure coherence between all projects but will not replace existing projects or programmatic management. Moreover, one of the goals of NNEC is to re-use, as much as possible, the existing assets of the NATO nations.
To this end, NATO's Allied Command Transformation (ACT) has chosen to divide NNEC in smaller pieces called 'Coherence Areas':
- Operational Concepts and Requirements Implications (OCRI) focused on the operator,
- Architecture & Services Definition and Specification (ASDS) focused on architecture,
- Implementation (IMP),
- and a steering group, Leadership & Guidance (L&G), to make the necessary link with the political level of NATO.
At the Prague Summit in November 2002, NATO recognized that transformation of the military based upon Information Age principles was essential, and pursued a course of transformation denoted as NATO Network-Enabled Capabilities (NNEC).
In November 2003, nine NATO nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, The United Kingdom and The United States) signed an arrangement to join in funding a feasibility study on NATO Network Enabled Capability (NNEC) as an important step towards NATO transformation. The study was carried out by the NATO C3 Agency (NC3A).
In 2009, the ACT launched an awareness campaign within NATO, as well as in NATO Nations and beyond, to promote the NNEC concept and have it adopted NATO-wide. Achieving full collaboration and full coherence between the various NATO and NATO Nations projects is the long term goal.
NNEC is about people first, then processes, and finally technology.

CULLMAN, Ala. — A carnival worker was arrested Saturday night after police said he raped a teenage girl who was attending the county fair in this town north of Birmingham.
Christopher Lee Hart, 28, was charged with rape and sodomy after deputies were able to locate him at the fair on Saturday night based upon the description given by the victim. The girl, between the ages of 14 and 16, had told her parents what happened, and they called the Cullman County Sheriff's office, Chief Deputy Max Bartlett said.
Bartlett said the department has since reached out to other agencies in case there may be additional victims because of Hart's frequent travels. He said right now, investigators don't know of any other sexual abuse convictions.
"This a traumatic and unfortunate event for those involved," Bartlett said. "It is also a reminder to go to events in groups and never leave with a stranger."
Hart is being held at the Cullman County Detention Center on a $60,000 cash bond.
Details for this story were reported by the Cullman (Ala.) Times.

Late one night in 2002, Sam Yagan got a call from a former Harvard buddy with an idea for their next big company. What if they made a website with a button you could press to set up a blind date?
Yagan told him to call back when he was sober, but continued to think about it. To set up people on random dates successfully, you would need an enormous database of users and their preferences. You also would need a system that could pick a place to meet that was close to both people.
Yagan and that friend, Chris Coyne, didn't develop the idea. Later that year, they joined with others to create OKCupid, a free dating site that matches users through mathematical algorithms based on answers to questions about their tastes. As OKCupid expanded its active user base to 3.8 million, becoming one of the most popular dating sites for young singles, Coyne's original idea continued to percolate.
On Tuesday he's finally getting his wish, with the debut of OKCupid's Crazy Blind Date application. The free app for iPhones and Android phones is intended to eliminate the effort it takes to set up a date. If you're free for an hour at 7 p.m. on a Wednesday, you can fill the slot with a date. You select a local bar or coffee shop to meet from the app's recommendations, then choose among four people the company's algorithm has suggested who are also free at that time.
The dates are not totally blind — you can see names, ages and faces — but the photos have been scrambled. You meet, and afterward the app asks how it went. The better it was, the more you pay, from nothing up to $3.
"If it were a perfect world, I would charge by success," said Yagan, 36, who has been married for nine years. "If you could start a dating site where you just got paid for marriage or sex, that'd be pretty cool. This is the closest we can come."

During a ceremony before the Century 21 Home Run Derby on Monday, the two All-Stars were honored with awards from MLB.com and Ameriquest as the top vote-getters in their respective leagues.
"It's better than we could have ever imagined," said Ameriquest's Mary Jo Shelton, who presented the
award to Rolen. "We are absolutely thrilled to be here. Everybody thinks of baseball as America's pastime
and we were excited to share in the event."
Soriano led all Major League players with 3,466,447 votes when the starting position players for both leagues were announced. He was also the top online vote-getter, collecting a record total of 3,056,277 votes at MLB.com. Rolen was the top vote-getter in the National League with 3,187,710 votes. He is the fourth Cardinals player to earn that distinction and the second in a row, following Albert Pujols last year.
"There are a lot of superstars in this game and to be number one in votes makes me feel very special," said
Soriano, who was the voting leader when the first balloting updates were released in May. "I think because I played in Japan and I'm a Latin American guy who played in New York helps. But I think people know that I go out there and I play hard every day."
Orange, Calif.-based Ameriquest, the official mortgage company of Major League Baseball and title sponsor of in-stadium and online All-Star balloting, is one the nation's largest lenders. The company provides home-equity loans through more than 250 branch offices in the U.S., including 17 in Texas. Ameriquest and its affiliates employ more than 12,000 associates nationwide.
"Once I found out we partnered with Major League Baseball, I thought it was a perfect fit," said Ameriquest's Mariano DeMarin. "What we represent with our beliefs and our morals are consistent with something as American as baseball."
Tom Hicks Jr., the son of Rangers owner Tom Hicks, presented Soriano his award on behalf of MLB.com. He called Soriano "a great person and fine Ranger."
"It's symbolic of the way the club has come back as franchise and what kind of a guy Alfonso is," Hicks
said. "The fact that he was the leading vote-getter says a lot about how people respect him as a player on
and off the field. We are very fortunate to have him."
Hicks isn't the only one fond of Soriano. The infielder's popularity spans the two countries he has played in
-- the United States and Japan -- and the two cultures he lives in -- American and Latino. He was voted into
the All-Star Game twice as a member of the New York Yankees and this season as the second baseman for
the first-place Texas Rangers. He is one of the top second baseman in the American League today.
"I think the overriding factor in the votes is he is the only player to get the Japan, and Dominican vote and
in Texas and New York," said Cody Monk, author of the biography, Alfonso Soriano: The Dominican
Dream Come True. "Yankees fans love him. He got a standing ovation when he went back there."
Soriano's popularity with the Dominican vote rivals that of Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez said Enrique
Rojas, the host of the television's Solo Beisbol in Santo Domingo and arguably the most respected baseball
journalist in the Dominican Republic.
"Alfonso has two homes, Texas and New York, and he had two home teams in New York and Texas," Rojas said. "In those two markets, he is the best. He is a superstar and there are not superstars in the AL at second baseman. Jeff Kent is the NL star. Alfonso is a phenomenal player with a capital 'P' for us."
Japanese media present at the Home Run Derby did not underestimate Soriano's popularity in their country
despite playing only briefly for Hiroshima during the mid-1990s before retiring and signing with the
Some believe Soriano's votes in Japan are not comparable to Hideki Matsui or Ichiro Suzuki, but still
significantly more than most other American players.
"I think that Japanese fans like him more because was a teammate of Matsui than from his years with
Hiroshima's Carp Academy since very few fans really got to see him play while he was here," said Michael
Westbay of Japanesebaseball.com. "Japanese fans will tend to vote for players they know. In that regard,
Japanese fans will be voting for many Yankees."
Soriano has the hardware to prove it.

Poll: Will Whitefish Bay or Germantown win in Week 3 matchup?
Week 3 of the preps football season showcases a big rivalry matchup: Whitefish Bay at Germantown.
Last year in Whitefish Bay, the Warhawks beat the Blue Dukes, 23-15.
And both teams were in the playoffs last year. Whitefish Bay lost in a Level 2 game to Waukesha West, 28-14. Germantown lost in a Level 3 game to Arrowhead, 36-3.

The social media story of Homestead at Arrowhead football
Homestead and Arrowhead met Thursday night after the two were among the state's best football programs in 2013.

Homestead lost in a Division 3 Level 3 game to Kimberly, 37-7. Arrowhead won the Division 1 state title over Franklin, 45-24.

Allen leads Homestead football team to 24-20 victory over Arrowhead
Excited about it? Yes. The end-all and be-all for the season? Definitely not.
That was the attitude of the Homestead football players and coaches after they went into Taraska Stadium in Hartland Thursday night and, for the second season in a row, beat the two-time defending WIAA state D1 champs from Arrowhead, 24-20.
Everyone was on the same page afterward.
"It was a nice victory over a good team, but it doesn't make our season and we know we have a lot of work to do," said veteran coach Dave Keel.
"The first one felt great last year, it was a dog fight, and this one is a great feeling too," said all-state defensive lineman David Pfaff. "But we need to bring it home to Camp Randall this year (for a state championship). This is a building block to what we need to do to make that happen.» Read Full Article
Bay boys soccer team opens NSC defense with 3-0 win over GT
Only when forward Joey Borris headed in midfielder Sean Garwood's perfect diagonal crossing pass into the far left corner of the net at the 79:45 mark of the second half against Germantown Tuesday night did Whitefish Bay boys soccer coach Jeff Worzella take a deep breath.
The goal gave the Blue Dukes a more comfortable 2-0 lead which was extended to 3-0 eight minutes later when the two teammates traded places, this time with Garwood scoring off of Borris' corner kick.
And so with the 3-0 victory, the defending North Shore Conference Blue Dukes opened up defense of their 2013 league championship on a positive note.
"Oh yeah," said Worzella of the importance of the second goal. "In a 1-0 game, amnything can happen, one mistake, one slip, and you're tied, especially against Germantown, which is a great team and which gave us a real battle. It was a physical game, but we were able to survive."
The victory improved the Blue Dukes to 3-0-1 on the season while the Warhawks fell to 1-2.» Read Full Article

Shorewood man accused of voter fraud pleads insanity
A Shorewood man facing 13 counts of voter fraud has plead not guilty by reason of insanity.
Robert Monroe, a 50-year-old health insurance executive, is accused of casting two ballots in the April 2011 Supreme Court election between David Prosser and Joann Kloppenburg, two ballots in the August 2011 recall election between Alberta Darling and Sandy Pasch, five ballots in the Gov. Scott Walker recall election in June 2012, one illegal ballot in the August 2012 partisan primary election and two ballots in the 2012 presidential election, according to a criminal complaint.
Monroe will undergo a psychological evaluation on Sept. 16, and court proceedings in the voter fraud case will resume on Oct. 14, according to online court records.
Each of the 13 charges carries a maximum prison sentence of three years and six months, as well as a $10,000 fine. The investigation into Monroe's voting history was conducted in part under the auspices of a John Doe proceedings into Walker's campaign activity, according to the complaint.
Shorewood man charged with illegal voting enters insanity plea
A Shorewood man charged with illegally casting multiple votes in various elections, including five in the 2012 Wisconsin gubernatorial recall, has entered an insanity plea.
Robert L. Monroe, 50, will be examined next month by a forensic psychologist after entering a plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect at a hearing on Friday. A report of the evaluation is due to be returned in October.
Monroe was charged in June with 13 counts of illegal voting, accused of casting multiple votes in four elections in 2011 and 2012 using addresses in Shorewood, Milwaukee and Indiana, the names of his son and his girlfriend's son in addition to his own.
The felony counts, which include providing false information to an election official and registering in more than one place, carry a total maximum penalty of up to 19 1/2 years in jail and a fine of $130,000.
Prosecutors in Milwaukee began investigating Monroe in early 2013 after the defendant's son, Benjamin Monroe, who was the initial suspect of the investigation, signaled that his father might have submitted a ballot "on his behalf" in the 2012 recall election.» Read Full Article

The accident occurred at 8:11 p.m. near Green Bay Road and Teutonia Avenue in Brown Deer. The driver, Milwaukee resident Robert Dowden, experienced a medical issue, and at some point either during or after the crash, went unconscious. Dowden, who was not breathing and did not have a pulse, was unable to be revived by emergency personnel.
There were four passengers on the bus at the time of the crash, none of whom were injured. The bus, which was found up an embankment and tilted to one side, was towed from the scene by MCTS.
Brown Deer and River Hills police responded to the scene, along with two engines, one truck company, a paramedic unit, a basic life-support ambulance and a battallion chief from North Shore Fire and Rescue.
New option emerges for Estabrook Dam problems
Milwaukee County officials are weighing a new option to address the aging Estabrook Dam, which has deteriorated to the point where the state has ordered that the Depression-era structure be repaired or torn down.
Officials are now considering constructing a structure of boulders and large rocks that they say could satisfy concerns of two competing constituencies:
■ It would be engineered to allow fish to have the run of the river by letting them swim over the top.
Environmentalists and angling groups are pushing for fish passage at Estabrook and would like to see the dam removed altogether to complement improvements in the river after removal of the North Ave. dam in 1997 and construction of a fish passage system at Thiensville in 2010.
■ It would also hold back water so motor boats could move over the river from near Hampton Ave. to north of Lincoln Park.» Read Full Article

Whitefish Bay leads state in ACT scores
Whitefish Bay — Whitefish Bay High School's ACT scores have once again topped all other public schools in the state.
Whitefish Bay's Class of 2014 earned an average ACT score of 26.7, with 88.5 percent of students taking the test. Last year's senior class not only beat out the rest of the schools in the state, but also beat their predecesors in the Whitefish Bay Class of 2013, which led state public schools with an average ACT score of 26.
Whitefish Bay Superintendent Laura Myrah said the high school's most recent ACT score are in keeping with a long tradition of high test scores in the district.
"To our knowledge, we are the only public school district in Wisconsin that has scored above 25 on the ACT for 16 years in a row," Myrah said. "We attribute that success to our top-notch faculty up through all grade levels, our highly supportive and engaged families, and most obviously to our bright, hard-working students."
Not far behind Whitefish Bay was Homestead High School, where graduated seniors recorded the highest average ACT score in the history of the high school with a score of 26. Homestead ranked third among public schools in the state, tailing behind 26 by students from Williams Bay High School.» Read Full Article

DANVERS, Mass. — State health officials continue to quietly investigate what may have caused one to two dozen students to exhibit unexplained vocal tics or repetitive hiccups at Essex Agricultural and Technical School in Danvers and, to a lesser extent, North Shore Technical High in Middleton, this past school year.
The state is reaching out to more than 2,600 doctors in the region while investigating environmental factors that may have caused the symptoms, including air testing and visual observations inside school buildings. So far, according to a May 10 status report from the state Department of Public Health, air tests did not turn up anything that would contribute to "significant neurological effects."
Danvers Health Director Peter Mirandi, in an update to the Board of Health on May 30, said the state is casting a wide net to gather information from doctors and their patients.
"They will be looking for correlations between the symptoms and the students," Mirandi said. "The effort from the Department of Public Health is very thoughtful, deliberate, and I wouldn't mind recognizing them for stepping up when we needed assistance."
A spokesman for the state Department of Public Health had no update on the investigation.
"It's a very extensive process, and there is no report that I have," said Ann Roach, media relations manager for the state Department of Public Health.
In February, state public health officials met with parents of affected students, school officials and Danvers and Middleton health officials to learn more about their concerns.
In March, the Department of Public Health and the Board of Registration of Medicine sent letters to more than 2,600 "attending physicians, encompassing more than a dozen medical specialties" looking to see if any had treated patients with vocal tics or chronic hiccups from the two schools. The doctors were asked to discuss the state investigation with parents to see if they would consent to allow the state to obtain the patients' medical records.

NEW ALBANY, Ind. — Accused killer William Clyde Gibson III described how he murdered a 75-year-old woman, mutilated her body, then went to have a drink at a local bar, according to a videotaped interview shown during the the first day of his trial.
The interview depicts a gruesome murder and a man struggling with his demons leading to the killing of Christine Whitis, a longtime friend of Gibson's late mother. Gibson's trial began Monday in a Floyd County, Ind., court. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Gibson is also charged in the murders of Stephanie Kirk, 35, and Karen Hodella, 45, for which he is scheduled for separate trials.
Prosecutor Keith Henderson told a jury that Gibson, 56, lured Whitis to his New Albany home on April 18, 2012, on the pretense he was grieving the death of his mother three months earlier. He sexually assaulted Whitis before killing her, Henderson said.
The next day he mutilated her body then took her minivan to eat lunch at a Hooters restaurant. One of his sisters came by the house, discovered Whitis' body in the garage, and called police.
The trial, which is expected to last two weeks, started with jurors watching more than an hour of a video recording of a police interview with Gibson. In the recording Gibson admits to murdering Whitis, dragging her to the garage and mutilating her body before going for a drink at a local bar. A friend later came by his house for drinks, unaware of the murder or of Whitis' body.
During opening remarks, the prosecutor described Whitis as an active, vibrant widow who was close to her son and grandchildren. "She is loved, and she loved," Henderson said.
Kirk, who went missing in March 2012, was found buried in Gibson's backyard eight days after Whitis' body was discovered. Hodella, a Florida woman, was visiting the area when she went missing a decade earlier. Her body was discovered in a wooded area near the Ohio River in January 2003.

Transmission on all farmalls
I was wondering what trannsmissions on what farmalls let you shift will driving i can do it on our super c from 3rd to 4th on the road what other farmall models allow you too do this.
cody's cub
Re: Transmission on all farmalls
The transmission on the Super C, and most other tractors for that matter, is not syncronized. In other words, you're not supposed to shift while the clutch is engaged or the tractor is moving. You may get away with it some of the time, or even most of the time. But, one day you will grind the gears and possibly damage the transmission. I'd advise not doing it any more.

Re: Transmission on all farmalls
IH's tractors, except some of the "worldwide" utility models, didn't have sychronizers in the tranny. Their big tractors didn't get synchro's until the early 80's! I havent' been around a Farmall that you couldn't go from 3rd to 4th, or 4th to 5th, while rolling if you shift properly. If you're "good," you can double clutch and shift on the go. I have heard of people driving 1066's like semi's--winding them up in a lower gear, let off the throttle, ease it into the next higher gear, and hammer down again, etc. till they are in high gear. Only do that if you're REALLY good.
A little gear grinding is not good, but not the end of the world either. I try to take my time shifting to avoid it. Don't "slam" it in gear. Some of these old tractors require you to "grind em to find em" if there's a "draggy" clutch, etc. Seems like the more used to a tractor I am, the less likely I am to grind gears--if I was to climb onto one of your Cub's, I would probably grind a time or two until I got used to it's "nuances."

Re: Transmission on all farmalls
Well could one of you guys explain by what you mean isnt it wear you push clutch in take it out of gear then put it in where netrual should be then push clutch back in then shift to the next gear am i right??????????????????????????????????????///
cody's cub
Re: Transmission on all farmalls
Somewhat, you need to bring your engine almost to an idle before putting it back in gear and the timing of the shift has to be just right. For as fast (or slow) as a Cub goes, by that time you have just about rolled to a stop so you might as well do it right anyway.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – Here's a weekly look at five of the SEC's best in Week 6 and who to watch in Week 7.
1. Zach Mettenberger, QB, LSU – Mettenberger dispatched pesky Mississippi State with 340 passing yards and two touchdowns, earning the SEC's offensive player of the week award. It was a historic day for Mettenberger and his team - he became the first LSU quarterback to throw for 300 yards in consecutive games since 2001, and only the third in school history.
But in the 59-26 win, most of LSU's touchdowns came on the ground with three players combining for six rushing touchdowns. The offense is still based off of the run, but Mettenberger is in the middle of a breakout year and is starting to make use of the Tigers' talent at wide receiver. Odell Beckham, who had 179 yards and two touchdowns, and Jarvis Landry, who had 96 yards, are the primary beneficiaries.
LSU (5-1, 2-1) will face another test this week in Florida and its juggernaut rushing defense. With Mettenberger at the helm of the passing attack, LSU might be in a perfect position to make Florida's defense finally crack.
2. Louchiez Purifoy, DB, Florida – Purifoy was named the SEC's defensive player of the week after he returned an interception for a touchdown in the 30-10 win over Arkansas. The turnover was a perfect microcosm of how Florida wins games.
The Gators (4-1, 3-0) were losing 7-3 before Purifoy's interception with 8:33 to play in the second quarter. Florida has a consistent track record of winning when it wins the turnover margin, which it did against Arkansas 2-0.
Florida is second in the nation in total defense and rushing defense and tied for fourth in the nation and first in the SEC (with Alabama) in scoring defense, allowing 12.2 points per game. Florida's offense isn't going to get many headlines unless it turns the ball over, but once the Gators get a lead, they don't give it up. Purifoy's touchdown gave them the lead.
Against LSU, that rushing defense will need to be at peak performance to force Mettenberger to win the game, which, despite his emergence, he hasn't yet shown the ability to do.
3. J.J. Green, RB, Georgia – The last person who expected Green to rush for 129 yards against Tennessee might have been Green himself. With Todd Gurley sidelined with an ankle injury and Keith Marshall suffering a season-ending ACL tear during the game, Green was called on to be Georgia's feature back.
He didn't disappoint, running for 7.6 yards per carry in the Bulldogs' 34-31 win. It doesn't get easier for Georgia in the coming weeks with games against newly-ranked Missouri, Vanderbilt and Florida.
Assuming the ankle injury to Gurley doesn't keep him sidelined, Green will slide into Marshall's role as the No. 2 back. The ground attack might see an increased role with wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley sidelined for the season with an ACL tear and receiver Michael Bennett ruled out against Missouri and potentially longer with a knee injury of his own.
4. Nick Marshall, QB, Auburn – In a game that was alternately a borderline blowout and an ugly turnover festival, Marshall put Auburn (4-1, 2-1) back in position to make some noise in the SEC with a 30-22 win over Ole Miss.
Auburn is one year removed from an 0-8 conference record and Marshall, under new head coach Gus Malzahn, has led the run-focused Tigers back to relevance. Marshall threw for just 93 yards, but ran for 140 yards and two touchdowns against the suddenly down-trodden Rebels (3-2, 1-2).
The effort boosted Marshall ahead of Cameron Artis-Payne to become Auburn's No. 2 rusher on the season with 288 yards. It's likely Auburn will be bowl eligible before November and could improve its conference standing with wins over Arkansas and Tennessee before closing with its annual Georgia-Alabama grinder.
5. Marshall Morgan, K, Georgia – For the second week in a row, Morgan was named the SEC's special teams player of the week after kicking a career-long 56-yard field goal against Tennessee and a 42-yard game-winner in overtime.
The 56-yard kick was the longest kick in the SEC this year, the longest field goal on the road in Georgia history, the longest field goal ever kicked in Neyland Stadium and the longest kick anyone had ever made against Tennessee.
Morgan, a sophomore, has done a lot to redeem himself after being suspended against South Carolina following a drunk boating charge. He is a perfect 15-of-15 on PATs and 6-of-8 on field goal attempts. He has accounted for 33 points this season – 10 of which came against Tennessee.
1. James Franklin, QB, Missouri – After torching Vanderbilt for 278 yards and four touchdowns, Franklin gets a shot to redeem Missouri's heartbreaking loss to Georgia last season, and it could be coming at the perfect time.
Georgia had a lot of problems against Tennessee, due to injuries, and those players will also be out against Missouri. The Bulldogs secondary has struggled with consistency all season as well. Franklin has been nothing short of spectacular against lesser competition, throwing for 1,400 yards and 13 touchdowns. Those numbers put him fifth in the SEC and 22nd in the country in passing.
Last season against Georgia, Franklin threw for 269 yards and two TDs. But he threw a costly interception in the fourth quarter and fumbled on the next possession, allowing Georgia to pull ahead in a 41-20 win.
The good news for Missouri is Jarvis Jones – who forced both turnovers – now plays in the NFL and Georgia's defense hasn't shown that type of playmaking ability in games against Clemson, LSU or Tennessee.
2. Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina – Everybody seems to have forgotten about Clowney because he isn't launching running backs' helmets into near-Earth orbit on a weekly basis. He also isn't doing much in the way of statistics: 12 tackles and two sacks in the four games he has played.
If you believe Steve Spurrier, he isn't doing much at all. Clowney benched himself before the Gamecocks' 35-28 win over Kentucky, and Spurrier tried to convey his disdain by speaking in non-specific terms while implying Clowney might not being committed to football.
Clowney has reportedly dealt with illness, bone spurs and bruised ribs, so he may not have been able to give 100 percent in any game. Spurrier has been typically evasive whenever the subject has come up, so reliable non-passive-aggressive information in hard to come by.
South Carolina (4-1, 2-1) has a string of five conference games coming up and can't afford to lose another one. Even if he's not what was expected, he's still the best defender South Carolina has, but whether he plays – and whether Spurrier is OK with that – is anybody's guess.
3. Tyler Murphy, QB, Florida – Two weeks ago, Murphy wasn't Florida's starter, and two weeks ago Zach Mettenberger wasn't the SEC's top passer. Now both are true, and Murphy may be called on more than Florida would like to keep its national championship chances alive.
Florida's next three games are against ranked teams, and the first two are on the road. With LSU's new-found offensive capabilities, Florida's defense – as dominant as it is – may not be enough to get the job done.
LSU's defense is no pushover, so the Gators likely won't be able to grind out long drives like they have grown accustomed to doing. That's where Murphy comes in. His 530 passing yards through three games show he has the ability to move the ball through the air, but LSU is by far Florida's toughest opponent to date.
If he can protect the football, Florida will have a chance. If he turns it over, the Gators will likely falter.
4. Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss – Ole Miss' read option attack was shut down by Alabama and then shut down again by Auburn, forcing Ole Miss to turn to its passing game to get anything going offensively.
Now the Rebels face Texas A&M and may need to score 50 points to even sniff a win. The Rebels' defense has shown no signs of being able to stifle someone like Johnny Manziel, and the Aggies' defense appears to be equally bad. That means points will be easy to come by.
With Manziel exploiting holes all over Ole Miss' defense, Bo Wallace will need to match him to have a chance. Moncrief should be the biggest beneficiary of that system. Moncrief is averaging 15.4 yards per reception and has caught four of Wallace's six touchdown passes.
He may need that many Saturday just to keep the Rebels in contention. A third consecutive loss entering their game against LSU is not something the Rebels can afford.
5. Tyler Russell/Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State – Mississippi State (2-3, 0-2) parlayed its two quarterback system into three quarters of solid football against LSU until it all went downhill in the fourth quarter.
Russell threw for 146 yards and two touchdowns and Prescott ran for 103 yards and a touchdown while throwing for 106 more. Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen has expressed his commitment to using Russell as the starter, but Prescott is the team's leading passer and rusher.
What they do going forward is still a mystery, and games against Bowling Green and Kentucky will give Mullen some time to figure out a plan before facing a South Carolina-Texas A&M-Alabama gauntlet.
Having two capable quarterbacks could be a good problem to have if utilized properly, but of the two it appears Prescott is the more valuable. Until one earns the job – or until a new double-barrel shotgun formation is invented – the Bulldogs' quarterback battle is a game unto itself.

The Guild actively enforces contracts because they protect Guild members. If the Guild learns of a contract violation, it takes action. There are three ways in which the Guild uncovers contract violations.
An individual member contacts their Business Agent (a Guild staff member who helps writers covered by that specific contract) by phone or email. See the staff directory to find your Business Agent. Members should familiarize themselves with collective bargaining agreements to insure that they understand if their rights have been violated. A shop steward reports a violation in a shop meeting or to a union leader. This only occurs with staff contracts where multiple members work in one site The Guild uncovers a violation during a general audit of documents submitted by a company.
Once a complaint is made, the Guild files a formal grievance with the company. If no resolution is reached, the Guild files for arbitration. For information on Private Employer Agreements, visit our Rates and Residuals page.
Formal Grievances
If the Guild determines that there has been a contract violation and is unable to resolve the matter, it files a formal grievance. The Guild presents the issues at a meeting with the company. Individuals affected by the grievance may attend these meetings, although they are not required to be present. Often the name of the complainant is unknown to the company.
If the matter remains unresolved, the Guild files for arbitration and the company must agree to abide by the arbitrator's decision. The arbitration procedure is clearly set out in the Guild's set of collective bargaining agreements, although it may vary from one agreement to another. If an arbitrator finds the grievance is valid, or orders a solution, the Guild participates in making sure the resolution is implemented.

Season themes
Musical Alchemists
Journeys with great conductors
So what do great conductors do? The answer lies in those cosmic performances, where, in a truly alchemical transformation of elements, something is achieved that goes beyond the composer, the players and the soloists, and we are transfixed by the musical energy that is created on stage. Great conductors don't create concerts that just happen to you, they draw you into performances where you are an active, essential part of it.

His tenure reaches its hotly anticipated dénouement: a return to iconic repertoire from his homeland. Comprising five all-Russian programmes, his 2014/15 series also incorporates the powerhouse Siberian pianist Denis Matsuev's UBS Soundscapes: LSO Artist Portrait. Russophiles take note: for the most authentic performances of Russian music this side of the Baltic, there's only one place to be next season!

LSO Sing
Getting the City into song
LSO Sing is about much more than attending concerts: In Choral Director Simon Halsey's words, 'we want everyone in the City to sing!'. The sheer enjoyment of it is reason enough; moreover, singing is good for you – recent research shows that singing can dramatically increase wellbeing and happiness, and, best of all, it doesn't cost a penny. So come to a choral concert, take part in a singing day. How you do it is up to you, but make sure to be a part of LSO Sing in 2014/15.

Poured an opaque black with a finger of mocha head. Aroma of roasty cocoa, licorice, and coffee.
Moderate carbonation and full, creamy, slightly chalky mouthfeel. Caramel and roasty chocolate up front with espresso and licorice. Quite a bit of hop bitterness and boozy warmth on the finish, with fruity esters that emerge as the beer warms.
Solid stout with sharp, big flavors.

Pours jet black with a thinner deep mocha colored head atop,no light got thru even when held to the light.Deep roast,char, and smoke dominate the nose with underlying bitter chocolate,it smells a bit raw and in your face.Wow alot of different stuff going on on the palate,dark roast coffee,deep char and smoke, with a molasses,licorice, and alcohol induced sweetness that really hits home,I was right this is in your face.This is a big brash imperial stout,it's a little rough around the edges...in a good way.

Pours an inky black color, thick as can be - honestly, one of the thickest looking beers I've ever seen. Tan head, decent retention. Aroma hits with a handful of roasted malts, as expected; the bottom comes up with some bittersweet chocolates and deep, warming alcohol notes in the background. A light leathery and mild tobacco aroma as it warms, too. The taste comes through with a canvas of roasted malts upon which a painting of mild charring, smoke, deep cocoa, light black licorice, faint dark fruit sweetness, and bitterness almost resembling espresso is displayed. The sweetness comes in hardest in the form of licorice, but is met diligently with a bitterness that is present from nearly start to finish; slightly ashy and mildly floral and spicy - I'm assuming this bitterness is from the hop character, although some of it tastes like that old bitter espresso bean flavor, too. Burnt, smoked wood in the aftertaste with some ashy and leafy bitter notes. Slightly sweet, but bitterness rules the aftertaste when all is said and done. Silky as hell, super creamy and thick.
I was shocked at how delicious this was, but at the same time, I should have expected it. Sierra Nevada puts out a damn good product, no matter what it is, and Narwhal is no exception. For this price, this is a steal. Great flavors, huge body, amazing mouthfeel - if you like RISs, give this one a shot.

A: Jet black with a creamy, express colored head that has a good long retention period.
S: A solid roast with some licorice, moderate coffee and light citrus hop aroma. There is a low caramel malt sweetness and a light alcohol sweetness as well.
T: A huge malty flavor with rich dark flavors of roast, coffee and caramel along with a moderate sweetness. There are some underling burnt sugar and slight charcoal in there as well. The citrus hops flavors and bitterness are at a medium level. The balance is about equal between the bitterness and sweetness and almost out to a medium finish. The hops bitterness lingers a bit an edges out the dark roast flavors.
M: A full bodied beer with a moderately-strong level of carbonation.
O: Rich and full with equally strong malt and hops character; simply an excellent beer. I'm hoping this will be easy to find than Night Stalker where I live because Narwhal is running neck and neck with it as my favorite Imperial Stout. There will have to be a side by side tasting to for me to call a winner though.

On draft in a tulip at SNBC.
Pours a deep dark black with 1/8" golden head which fades slowly.
Aromas of roasted coffee and chocolate which get deeper as the stout warms and the glass level lowers.
Super smooth and easy, almost chewy mouthfeel and a chocolatey aftertaste which lingers nice and long.
A step outside of Sierra's norm but a damn good beer all around!
I loved it in the bottle and have been picking the four-packs up as I see them. Great now...only time will tell for later.

I found a lonely four pack of this when I went to Gary's to pick up 2013 Bigfoot, and brought it home with me. Glad I did.
In a snifter this beer was black, really black, with just a rim of tan head.
Strong roasted malt aroma. Coffee. Charcoal.
The taste was mostly strong coffee, even a little bit on the burned side. There was a little bit of chocolate.
A dry, burned feeling in the mouth. Astringent.
Nice beer.

I was really looking forward to this beer. I always anticipate what Sierra Nevada is doing lately to keep engaged with producing great beer in spite of their growth.
Pours dark brown into a tulip.
Minimal head. Carbonation is there, it just doesn't produce much foam.
Burnt dark chocolate nose & taste. A little edgy that should smooth out over time.
Mouthfeel, burnt edginess lingers. Not to the point of distraction however. Very enjoyable with a great price point for the style.

12 oz bottle. Pours inky black with a big creamy brown head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet roasted grains, chocolate, and some black licorice.
The flavor is some sweet lactic chocolate quickly followed by a big roast bitterness, some black licorice and a little dark fruit and coffee. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, a solid imperial stout.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12 oz bottle into a tulip glass. The label lists the abv at 10.2% and the year it was brewed. (2013) There is a short description of the beer as well.
Appearance: It has a very dark black body which is completely opaque. From the slow pour I got a tall tan colored head that settles down fairly quick but makes tons of cool lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma has a mild character with some modest sweet and roasted maltiness.
Taste / Palate: The mild aroma gives way to a big bold full bodied malty sweetness on the tongue. There are notes of caramel, toffee, molasses, and raisins. It's 10.2% abv is noticeable but mellow and adds to its overall character. The palate feels smooth with light carbonation in this big heavy offering from Sierra Nevada. It finishes slowly with just a touch of earthy hops.

Live at the Cactus Café: "What Was I Thinking?"
By Christine Lavin (Folk Contemporary Lavin)
There's chicklit, chickflicks, and Christine Lavin. Her irreverent folk style addresses the good (hot bald headed men), the bad (becoming a home shopping network shopaholic) , and the ugly (being set up on an awful blind date) of women's lives. You'll laugh until you can't breathe. If you are still up for more, try another Lavin sillyfest, Future Fossils.
Channel Orange
By Frank Ocean (Pop/Rock Vocalists Ocean)
Frank Ocean's debut album, "Channel Orange" uses its title to reference the neurological phenomenon grapheme–color synesthesia and the color he perceived during the summer he first fell in love. When Ocean was 19 years old, he first fell in love with a man, and the record details the fall, longing, rejection, heartache and other characters and imagery to create the color perception of that summer.
Ignoring caution about his past or his bankability for his label, Def Jam, Ocean dove in to unconventional urban musical waters. Sounds slip and slide around his songs, standard song structure only occasionally being employed in his compositions. The tracks flow more free-form than your average Hip Hop/R&B artist. This sounds more like Soul music via Animal Collective. His songs are carefully crafted compositions, the sounds surrounding the lyrics, the smooth shiny cover to the words within. In an interview with the magazine, Rap-Up, Ocean said of his record, "It succinctly defines me as an artist for where I am right now and that was the aim. It's about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story and all kinds of sonic goodness."
"Thinkin Bout You" is his biggest hit, and for a popular song is surprisingly minimalist. Soft synths, a bass drum and digital rimshot are about the only backing to Ocean's singing. It's the song that made people sit up and listen, as Ocean sang about that first love, the tornado of emotions and the joy/pain that comes with every moment. In his "Bad Religion," the lyrics are Ocean's emotional confession to a taxi driver about a love affair on the down-low. With sweeping strings, bigger percussion and a blowout chorus by the end, it shows the similarity between religious devotion and romantic emotion. The Motown-throwback, "Forrest Gump" uses the titular literary and film character to allude to a teenage crush, and is a clever tongue-in-cheek take in both music and words. The centerpiece of the record, and the true gem of this album is the track, "Pyramids." The track is essentially two songs in one, the first half being a dancy funk song using the Egyptian/Biblical story of the fall of Cleopatra VII as a love song. But then the synths slow down, the harmonic elements shifting into a different take on the tune, the Cleopatra character now being a present-day working girl, who dances at a club called 'The Pyramid' to support her superficial, meretricious man. The song is so catchy, so moving, and the instrumentation so polished, that it becomes one of those tracks that you never want to end. The Pyramids fade out slowly, and becomes the pillar of the emotional record.
Channel Orange appeared on numerous critics' year-end top albums lists. It was named the best album of 2012 by The A.V. Club, Billboard, Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune, Consequence of Sound, Entertainment Weekly, The Guardian, Los Angeles Times, musicOMH, The Sydney Morning Herald, Now, Paste, PopMatters, Slant Magazine, Spin, The Washington Post, and Jon Pareles of The New York Times. The album was also ranked number two by Allmusic, Ann Powers, BBC, Complex, Exclaim!, Filter, Mojo, Pitchfork Media, and Rolling Stone, number three by Clash, Jim DeRogatis, NME, State, and Time, and number five by Uncut. In his top-10 list for the Los Angeles Times, Lawrence K. Ho called it "the most magnetic record of the year" and wrote that it "feels like a work that as the years pass will only grow in stature." It was definitely one of my favorite records of 2012, it won the Grammy for "Best Urban Contemporary Album" and deserves some serious attention as an art piece.

Fado: Soul of Lisbon
Many explorers of world music may have overlooked the small country of Portugal and its rich musical tradition. Fado, Portugal's most popular traditional music, originated in Lisbon's mysterious Alfâma district in the early 19th century, and features dual guitars and a female voice. The name Fado means fate or destiny in Portuguese, which reflects its wistful and melancholy tone. Fado focuses on loss and the uniquely Portuguese concept of saudade, which suggests a deep nostalgia for lost love, home or for a happier time.
Fado has a rich history and is very much alive today. For a more traditional take, try the works of the Queen of Fado, Amália Rodrigues. Musicians such as Madredeus, Cristina Branco, and Mariza explore more modern adaptations of this unique musical form.

Philosophy of the World
By The Shaggs (Pop Rock Groups Shaggs)
Tired of over-produced, soulless music on the radio? Looking for something to boost your hipster street-cred? Why not give The Shaggs a spin?
Long considered a cult favorite, and an excellent example of outsider art, The Shaggs consist of the Wiggins sisters: Dot, Betty, Helen and Rachel. In an attempt to cash in on the rock and roll phenomenon, and perhaps fulfill the prophecy of a palm reader, Andrew Wiggin withdrew his daughters from school, bought them instruments and started them off on the path to stardom. Thought the majority of the records they recorded disappeared with the unscrupulous producer they paid for studio time, a few of the records made their way in to the hands of music lovers who recognized their genius.
How do you describe the music of The Shaggs? That's a good question. I don't have the vocabulary for it, but Frank Zappa called The Shaggs "better than the Beatles. Check them out, and deliver your own verdict.Reviewed by Nathan
Hear Me Talkin' to Ya: The Story of Jazz as Told by the Men Who Made It (edited)
Hear Me Talkin' to Ya is just what the title suggests: an oral biography of American jazz music to 1955. The story is told through the memories of musicians, club owners, engineers, and record producers. Reading alone late at night, I felt as if I was in the same room with the interview subjects. Their stories were so vivid and provided so much flesh to the hollow chronology I had in my head that I just couldn't put the book down. If you enjoy jazz and think you know a thing or two about it, try reading this book. Here a few bits that really got me going:
- In the days before you could buy them at Wal-Mart, Kenny Clarke had to whittle his own drumsticks from old milk crates.
- Thelonoius Monk first came into Kansas City playing with a carnival, and most musicians found steady work in carnivals.
- When he moved to Chicago, Charlie Parker was almost killed hopping a freight train. He was rewarded with a free clarinet and clean shirt after impressing the local musicians on his first night in town.
- Stan Getz, who tried to rob a pharmacy without a gun and failed, was arrested only after calling the store to apologize.
- Dizzy left Cab Calloway's band after a disagreement, but the disagreement was a backstage knife fight between Diz and Cab. Dizzy won.
- Billie Holiday claims she gave Lester Young the name "Pres."
These are just a few boiled down anecdotes from the book. If you're interested, there are 429 more pages where they came from. Yes, that's right, there are 429 glorious pages of people talking about jazz. If someone is looking for a listener's guide, we have a few of those too. For a more conventionally written history of jazz, try the book Jazz by Gary Giddins and Scott DeVeaux. In addition to the narrative, it includes profiles of the most important recordings and minute-by-minute explanations of their most relevant tracks.

The Music of Andrew Bird (Pop/Rock Vocalists Bird)
Bird's voice is a little reminiscent of the singer of Zachary Condon of Beirut, though not as florid. A good introduction to his work is his album Noble Beast, which has a really great variety of totally listenable songs. Bird's most recent album, Break it Yourself, was just released last month.

Blue Delight
If Mr. Ra is a mystery to you, then you have some detective work to do. Blue Delight could be as close as Sun Ra ever came to making jazz with mainstream appeal, but it still crackles with the vigorous intensity and wild flair that put Ra and the Arkestra on the star map. Considering the more cacophonous and less accessible Sun Ra back catalog, this album is particularly enjoyable. On standards like "Days of Wine and Roses" and "Gone with the Wind," Ra showcases his skills as bandleader, arranger, and performer. In several concise arrangements, he allows soloists room to stretch out and interpret the changes but maintains a taut kineticism by holding the Arkestra wound up and ready to spring into action. But the selections are not limited to classics, either. There are several spaced-out originals pushing 12 minutes in length, with gratuitous contributions from Arkestra stalwarts like Marshall Allen, John Gilmore, and Eloe Omoe. In a fracas of merging textures and clashing tonalities, Ra and the unusually large Arkestra explore the outer reaches of music while never getting too far away from scaffolds of chords or themes. In such a way, new listeners will be safely introduced to the perilous realm of group improvisation, while seasoned fans can still enjoy the frenzy of instrumental activity that is to be expected from Mr. Ra. Guest spots include Billy Higgins, Julian Priester, and Tommy Turrentine, who sound remarkably at ease with their surroundings and move through the music with facility and grace. Ra's own playing serves as both anchor and centerpiece. In it can be heard the ghost of Erroll Garner's left hand, and astute listeners will sense the impact of Mary Lou Williams' more angular excursions in early avant garde jazz. Steeped in a distant memory of blues and swing, Ra's influences mingle with his own unique proclivities and technical mastery to form an inimitable style that supports and enriches the high powered cast.

I'm a Patty Griffin fan, which means my credibility as a reviewer is in question. But I think I'm right about this—whether you're a fan of gospel or not, you should give Downtown Church a listen.
In 2010, Griffin released this album of songs recorded at the Downtown Presbyterian Church in Nashville. And she invited some very talented friends to join her. Produced by Buddy Miller (a hugely underrated artist in his own right) and featuring Ann and Regina McCrary, Emmylou Harris, Raul Malo, and Buddy and Julie Miller, Downtown Church is the perfect way to get to know Griffin.
The songs are a mix of traditional tunes ("Wade in the Water", a lovely version of "All Creatures of Our God and King"), covers (Hank Williams' "House of Gold") and original songs ("Little Fire" and one of my favorites, "Coming Home to Me"). There's really not much of a weak link in this one.
Griffin's voice is, as always, beautifully clear and compelling, whether she's tearing the building down telling the story of Samson in "If I Had My Way" or gently reassuring on "Coming Home to Me." Seriously, I'm sitting here thinking about which tracks deserve special attention in this review, and heck, they all come to mind.
Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

The Harrow and the Harvest
By Gillian Welch (Call #:Folk Contemporary Welch)
If I found myself in some unimaginable circumstance where I had to choose only five musicians to listen to for the rest of my mortal life, Gillian Welch would be on the list. It's not that I listen to her all the time, or even anymore than any other artist. She's just one of the handful that I really don't think I could live without. And the new record doesn't disappoint.
I was reading an interview with the writer Marilynne Robinson the other night, and came across this statement: "Dear old human experience is a singular, difficult, shadowed, brilliant experience that does not resolve into being comfortable in the world." The Harrow and the Harvest is the musical exposition of that philosophy. It's mellow, dark, maybe even a little despairing, but achingly beautiful, and even hopeful at times as well. The ten songs tell stories of people in difficult and desperate situations-some are hopeful and resolute, some defiant and angry, some just resigned-but each is a spare and intimate portrait of a life. Welch and David Rawlings can write and they can play, and the vocals are lovely and evocative. Plus, how can you not like a musician who lists herself as doing vocals, guitar, banjo, harmonica and hands and feet? Check it out. My favorite tracks: "The Way It Will Be", "Tennessee", "Hard Times".

French Composer Yann Tiersen
Trained in piano and violin from an early age, French composer/performer Yann Tiersen broke his violin and formed a rock band in his early teens. As his music evolved, however, he found himself returning to the violin, but with a greater spirit of freedom and musical experimentation. According to his official website, http://www.yanntiersen.com, Tiersen invites us to "…live in an enormous world of sound we can use randomly, with no rules at all. Let's play with sound, forget all knowledge and instrumental skills, and just use instinct – the same way punk did."
While Tiersen is a fearless experimenter of the punk order, an artist who is as likely to pick up a violin as a toy piano or typewriter on his albums, this experimentation never feels alienating or jarring. Tiersen's vision of a sonic world without rules is grounded in a classical instinct that enables his work to be appreciated by fans of Nirvana and Mozart respectively.
Three of Tiersen's albums can be checked out at the Orem Public Library. I recommend getting a taste for Tiersen's work by sampling his soundtrack for Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Academy Award nominated film Amelie (Soundtrack: Shows Amelie, Film FL 9916), considered by fans and critics alike one of the great film soundtracks in recent memory. For further adventures in sound, try L'absente (International French 1152) and his more recent work, Les Retrouvailles (International French 5226).

Album: The Social Network soundtrack
Call #: Shows Social Network
Of the album, Trent Reznor says, "Musically, this all came out of our secret laboratory - electronic in basis, but mostly organic sounding. Lots of experiments and emphasis on sound fraying around the edges while focusing on the proper emotional tone for the various scenes." http://nullco.com/TSN/

Artist: The National
Album Name: High Violet
Call #: Pop/Rock Groups National
Take the baritone vocals of Matt Berninger, mix with fresh, unusual lyrics, add a broad range of influences ranging from Alt-country and folk to post-punk, and what you wind up with is The National.
The new album won't disappoint. At times both soft and distorted, the album is smooth, melodic and introspective. Especially recommended for fans of Elliot Smith, The Shins and Arcade Fire.Reviewed by Nathan Robison
