Welcome to Production Expo 2013
What's on day one
PRODUCTION EXPO 2013: Welcome to our brand new online show dedicated to music producers. This special two day event is brought to you by MusicRadar in association with Future Music and Computer Music magazines.
What is an Expo?
Quite simply, an Expo is an exhibition. Instead of hosting one in a bricks and mortar building, we decided to host an online show that could reach as many of you as possible. That means you can preview lush production gear and accessories, learn new skills using our free video lessons from the world's leading experts, and read interviews with your favourite music producers all from the comfort of your own home.
About Production Expo 2013
A unique concept in the music-making industry, Production Expo 2013 covers gear (product video demos), seminars (video lessons and tuition) and artists (interviews and features). Let's break it down further so that you know what's happening and where...
Virtual booths and the Gear Channel
When you go to a music-making exhibition, you have the chance to browse booths loaded with products and accessories. Well, it's the same deal at Production Expo 2013: we have a number of virtual gear booths for you to scout out to find your next music production purchase.
Our virtual booth exhibitors include Spitfire Audio, MeldaProduction, Fractal Audio Systems, FXpansion and IK Multimedia. Just click on their respective names and you will be taken through to their content.
Free guest lessons and tutorials from the Seminar Channel
Like any great show, we want you to come away from ours with a bag of new tricks and techniques that improve your music production skills. That's why we've teamed up with the very best production schools and acadamies to bring you a raft of expert tuition.
SubBass, Point Blank and Berklee Online are all taking part in Production Expo 2013, and we will be hosting their unmissable lessons today and tomorrow. There's a whole raft of tuition from them available right now, and tomorrow will see even more so be sure to keep coming back!
Artist Channel interviews and features
Trust us when we say, you don't want to miss a word of the interviews and features we have lined up for Production Expo 2013.
Especially for you, we have tracked down brand new interviews with the likes of alt production gods Steve Albini and Gil Norton, quizzed ARIA Music Producer of The Year 2013 Flume about making music on the go, charted the 26 landmark moments in music production to show you just how far the industry has come, and even unearthed a few classic features with Butch Vig, Andy Johns and Jazzie B.
Over the next two days, look out for interviews with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Manics), Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters), Butch Vig (Sonic Youth, Garbage), Andy Barlow (Lamb), Charlie Hugall (Florence & The Machine), Michael 'Elvis' Baskette (Alter Bridge, Trivium), Madeon (Pendulum, Lady Gaga), Flume, Shadow Child, Dave Jerden (Alice In Chains), Nu:Tone, Dom Kane, Luke Solomon, James Hockley, Kirk Degiorgio, Andy Johns (Led Zep), WAX Ltd (Best Coast) and more.

The two very good points were the terrace on the roof facing the Gange (very peaceful) and its restaurant quite good and not expensive. We had a nice guide of the guest house. The proximity of the Gange was great, but the access to the guest house trough very small streets dirty and smelly was unpleasant. I had to ask for a sheet to put under a dirty blanket.They would need to do some effort with the cleanliness of bedrooms (otherwise OK).

I stayed here just one night. The hotel is pretty much average. It was a little bit difficult to find it. Many local guys talked to us and tried to take us here to get some money from the hotel. The room was fine. not too dirty, not specially clean. One thing i liked about this hotel is the rooftop restaurant. The food was very delicious and and the staff was very nice there. And you can see the Ganga from there.

SALEM — A Salem woman has written and designed a book that traces the history of Boston women who had prominent roles in the field of law and the fight for equality.
Bonnie Hurd Smith, author of "Salem Women's Heritage Trail," completed this project for New England Law/Boston during its centennial year. The school was founded 100 years ago as Portia Law School, the country's first law school for women.
"Boston Women & The Law: A Walking Trail Through Four Centuries of Boston Women's Legal History" takes readers (and walkers) on a trip that makes stops at a number of historic locations in Boston. The route passes Boston Common, where women are believed to have been hanged for being Quaker or for practicing witchcraft, and the Statehouse, where women fought for the vote and the abolition of slavery.
The book is not all "old" history. It includes a stop at the John Adams Court House, where Chief Justice Margaret Marshall presides over the state Supreme Judicial Court. Along with information on Abigail Adams and Sarah Parker Remond, an abolitionist who grew up in Salem, it also includes Attorney General Martha Coakley and Senate President Therese Murray.
There are several North Shore connections in the book, including Suzanne Revaleon Greene, who was told she could no longer teach at the former Salem Normal School (Salem State College) once she married. Her husband argued the case in 1953, helping clear the way for married women to teach at the state college.
The 70-page book is available locally at Cornerstone Books.

- About Deakin
|Award granted
|Bachelor of Engineering
|CRICOS course code
|Deakin course code
Deakin's Bachelor of Engineering places great emphasis on the practical application of engineering and scientific principles to produce industry-ready engineers, who are immediately employable and capable of adapting to an ever-changing future.
You will undertake common subjects in your first year, providing you with a broad knowledge base, before choosing to specialise in civil, electrical and electronics, mechanical or mechatronics and robotics engineering.
You will learn generic skills including entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership, project management, technical report writing and presentation, and comprehension and communication, as well as develop an understanding of the ethical basis of the engineering profession and practice, contemporary technical and professional issues in the practice of engineering, and complex problems and producing innovative solutions beneficial to an organisation and society.
You will also gain a sound, fundamental understanding of the scientific principles underlying technology; learn the basic principles underlying the management of physical, human and financial resources; acquire the mathematical and computational skills necessary for solving theoretical and practical problems and for meeting future changes in technology; and gain an understanding of the social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of the professional engineer.
An Engineering Scholars Program is available to students who achieve an ATAR of 80 and above, all of the sequences in the Bachelor of Engineering with extra opportunities for paid industry internships or research placements and mentoring from our world-class researchers or professional engineers working in industry. The Engineering Scholars Program does not include a paid scholarship; however, students are strongly encouraged to apply for scholarships.
Units in the course may include assessment hurdle requirements.
Deakin's Bachelor of Engineering is accredited by Engineers Australia, which gives the degree international recognition, allowing graduates to practise as professional engineers in many countries around the world.
The course comprises a total of 32 credit points, which must include the following:
In order to satisfy course accreditation requirements, as specified and administered by Engineers Australia, all Cloud (online) enrolled students are required to participate in Campus learning activities equivalent to a minimum duration of one full academic week for every trimester of effective full time study in order to ensure that graduates possess and have demonstrated the minimum necessary knowledge and skill base, engineering application abilities, and professional skills, values and attitudes at successful completion of the course to be sufficiently prepared to enter professional engineering practice.
Cloud (online) enrolled students are therefore required to attend campus mode conducted activities for all units in the course (with the exception of units SEE010 and SEP490) during the corresponding Engineering Practice Week in a trimester. Engineering Practice Week is conducted in week 8 of each trimester. Attendance at campus mode activities is compulsory and failure to attend will result in a fail grade being awarded for the respective affected unit(s) for that particular trimester.
The Bachelor of Engineering is also available as a combined courses with commerce, information technology and science.
Cloud (online) students must have access to a personal computer with internet access and be able to run software in a Windows XP, vista or 7 environment.
Information about the hardware and software requirements may be obtained from the School of Engineering, telephone 03 9244 6699.
The Bachelor of Engineering may be awarded at pass or honours level.
To be awarded the Bachelor of Engineering with honours:
The weighted average mark will be used to determine the grade of honours to be awarded.
Before students will be deemed eligible to graduate they must obtain an aggregate of at least 12 weeks of suitable practical experience during their program. Work experience would normally be gained during the vacation periods. Further details are contained in the unit description for SEP490 Engineering Work Experience.

Though most of the world knows William Goldman as an Oscar-winning screenwriter ("Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "All The President's Men"), his name also carries some weight in theatre circles. This is due to "The Season," his probing, funny, biting and timeless blow-by-blow analysis of the 1967-68 Broadway season. A classic look at the theatre business, it has never been out of print and can be found in the library of almost every theatre fan and professional.
Few who have enjoyed that book, however, have ever seen a William Goldman play — or knew that he had even written one. Back in the early '60s, Goldman saw two of his efforts produced on Broadway: Blood, Sweat and Henry Poole, a play, and the musical A Family Affair. Each ran a couple months. Goldman hasn't attempted to write for the theatre since — until now.
|� Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.
It had never occurred to Goldman that the book or his screenplay — much of which takes place inside four walls — would make a good play. "Never. Never thought it might make a play," he told Playbill.com. "I was involved in the theatre 100-some-odd years ago and it was very painful. Doing something like this is not something that every crossed my mind."
That said, he did not require much convincing when the folks at Warner Brothers and Castle Rock came calling.
"WB Theatre Ventures and our producing partners, Castle Rock Entertainment, talked about bringing our version of Misery to the stage years ago," explained Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures executive vice president Raymond Wu in an email. "Soon after, we partnered with Bill Goldman and Will Frears and are ecstatic that we are on the road to our collective goals for this piece coming true."
When they approached Bill Goldman about it, said Wu, "we had a terrific discussion about the stage adaptation. We were thrilled that he was as excited as we were about this project. His screenplay for the film adaptation is so iconic and we all knew he was the right person to take Misery to the stage."Continued...

Networks Continue to Hype Herman Cain 'Firestorm'; 12 More Stories in 24 Hours
The network evening newscasts on Tuesday and the morning shows on Wednesday continued to hype the Herman Cain "firestorm," creating 12 more stories in less than 24 hours. Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos led the show on Wednesday by trumpeting, " Republican front-runner Herman Cain changes his story again as one of his accusers now says she wants to go public on charges of sexual harassment."
On NBC's Today, Chuck Todd hyperbolically announced, "Struggling to move beyond the firestorm that is engulfing his candidacy, Herman Cain again denied he sexually harassed anyone." On that same program, guest Chris Matthews recklessly speculated that the Republican harassed women while drunk.
Lauer teased the show by wondering, "So, what's next for Herman Cain? What effect will this drip, drip, drip of information have on his campaign?
On NBC's Nightly News, Lisa Myers offered bad news, reminding, "For Herman Cain, day two of damage control also involved trying to undo the damage from shifting stories on day one."
She spun his statements on Monday and Tuesday as "serial explanations" and promised, "For Cain, this problem just became a lot more complicated."
Over the last 24 hours, the three major networks have devoted 12 stories to the Cain controversy. World News and Evening News on Wednesday both had anchor briefs. Nightly News offered a full report. On Wednesday, Good Morning America included both a full report and an anchor brief.
Today had the most coverage: Two full reports and two briefs.
CBS's Early Show included one full report and two briefs. Additionally, Norah O'Donnell even asked Condoleezza Rice about the scandal during a separate interview.
See a MRC Reality Check on how the networks ignored much more serious charges against Bill Clinton.
A transcript of the November 2 Today segment can be found below:
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
MATT LAUER: So, what's next for Herman Cain? What effect will this drip, drip, drip of information have on his campaign?
MATT LAUER: Let us begin, though, with this controversy swirling around GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain and word one woman who claims she was sexually harassed by him wants to speak out. Chuck Todd is NBC's chief white house correspondent. Chuck, good morning.
CHUCK TODD: Good morning, Matt. You know, today was supposed to be the culmination of Herman Cain's attempt to start rallying official Republicans in Washington. Instead he's now in a full fledged he said/she said as the lawyer for one of the accusers is making it clear to NBC News, she is upset and wants to respond to Mr. Cain publicly.
HERMAN CAIN: I absolutely agree we could have been better prepared and in the future we probably will be.
TODD: Struggling to move beyond the firestorm that is engulfing his candidacy, Herman Cain again denied he sexually harassed anyone. But, now, Joel Bennett the lawyer for one of the accusers says it was not one isolated incident.
JOEL BENNETT: There was more than one incident that my client perceived as sexual harassment.
TODD: He said she wants to tell her side of the story.
BENNETT: She would like to speak out for the record only because Mr. Cain has stated that he didn't sexually harass anyone, there wasn't any substance to the allegations and basically made it look like she was some type of frivolous claimant, just looking for money.
TODD: Bennett says his client hasn't gone public so far because of a confidentiality agreement that was signed 12 years ago as part of a financial settlement, but he says Cain's comments this week may have changed that.
BENNETT: But I do believe that his remarks are a violation of the confidentiality provision of the settlement agreement.
TODD: Specifically, Bennett says Cain violated a clause prohibiting any of the parties from making disparaging marks when he said this Monday:
CAIN: I do recall that her performance, it had been told to me by her boss, was not up to par.
BENNETT: I think she's upset about his statements and would like the record to be balanced and clear.
TODD: Cain's statements have evolved this week.
CAIN: I just started to remember more. Remember, you know, 12 years, a lot of stuff can go through your head.
TODD: By Tuesday night on Fox, he said he wanted his supporters to know he wasn't ducking the issue.
CAIN: So, no, I don't believe it's hurt my campaign at all, just based upon, not only the volunteers and the phone calls, but the fund-raising has just really gone up dramatically.
TODD: Cain's campaign said it raised nearly half a million dollars on Monday alone, the day the story broke. But, Tuesday, the group Americans for Herman Cain, a so-called super PAC not directly affiliated with the campaign, turned up the heat by invoking race and hearkening back to the Clarence Thomas hearing, sending out an e-mail an e-mail which read "Don't let the media lynch another black conservative." They are engaging in a high tech lynching by smearing his reputation and attacking his character." Asked on Fox whether race has played a factor in the story, Cain said yes.
CAIN: I believe the answer is yes but we do not have any evidence to support it.
TODD: And this morning, the New York Times is reporting the first woman to accuse Cain of inappropriate behavior during his tenure at the National Restaurant Association was paid a one year's severance package to leave $35,000. Now, another source told NBC News the figure might have been closer to $40,000. Matt?

...in every article by the media. The thought of a black Conservative was bad enough, but the possibility that a black Conservative could actually become President is far more than feeble liberal brains can grasp. It doesn't fit the narrative. Cain ahead in the South? Impossible; they're all racists there, still fighting the Civil War. The sheer excess of hypocrisy in the mainstream media is unbelievable and in that irrationality, its editors and publishers are simply digging deeper and deeper holes.

Consider the source.
These women will turn out to be professional gold diggers. The word is one of them was incompetent at her job and when she started to fear she was going to be let go, she filed her complaint to either stop a firing action or soften the landing. When she couldn't prove her allegations, she was shown the door for severance.
It will be found out that these women have filed other complaints for settlements as well.

The 'leak' that Politico scouped was probably from Rove
Submitted by coin of the realm on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 6:12pm.
As Huckabee agreed, most likely from a republican opposing Cain. Rove is clearly trying to shot Cain down publicly as we see on his Fox news appearances. The party is also scared of his popularity now bc they know he is not electable in a national election which means that, should he get the nomination, Obama would easily defeat him.
You have to hand it to Rove and the operatives of the repub party. Getting the liberal media to do the dirty work of getting rid of Cain--ffing brilliant. It is quite clear that Ailes and Rove play hardball, and play it well. After all, these are the guys who got Bush elected twice, nurtured the Tea Party and basically , with their nonstop campaign machine, direct republicans on all the issues.
"Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee said he could "almost guarantee" that the recent Politico story about sexual harassment allegations against Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain came from information leaked by another GOP campaign."
Below from an article which was posted on Huffington Post:
"When asked on Laura Ingraham's radio show Monday morning if it was likely the scoop was provided by another Republican campaign, Huckabee agreed with the suspicion and questioned the legitimacy of the Politico report, saying, "Quite frankly, knowing some of the reporters involved -- they're not that good." "

Do you forget that the Tea Party was begun from Rick Santelli's rant on CNBC? Fox and Ailes had nothing to do with it. I know it's hard to believe when you come from the land of Soros where you don't have to do your own thinking that others CAN and DO their own thinking, but that's the way it is.
The Tea Party started with a rant and took off through the efforts of non-political or journalistic people.

There were plenty of them. Contrary to the misconceptions popularized and peddled by the right, the media didn't run interference for Clinton. Many in what is considered the MSM didn't particulary care for him personally. Sally Quinn, the maven of inside-the-beltway Washington society, reportedly claimed the DC press corps viewed the Clintons as a couple of Arkansas hicks.
Here's a typical opinion piece from the NYT critical of the Clinton team's disparagement of litigation adversaries in the Paula Jones case. The Times, while generally supportive of Clinton's policies, repeatedly attacked him for other reasons, including his conduct.

I don't get the connection there. And some of these comments have "the word" on these women--that they are gold diggers, about to be fired, had done this before. Evidence? Want to produce it?

I too have only good things to say about the staff at Little Acorn. I hope that this turns out to be an unfortunate misunderstanding--both for the child and his or her family and the school.
on Jul 18, 2013 at 1:59 pm
I have lived in the Mtn View city for many years. I have been to the YMCA for so long, as well. Two of my kids were born at the El Camino Hospital. I know several staff at the Little Acorn day care center; I go to the same church with some of the staff. All these staff are super professional, know what they're doing - caring well for the children with respect & for their safety. I believe that none of the staff have no intention to jeapardize the well being of any of the children or staff at this center. I hope this will be resolved soon & may all parties involved be back to a normal life.

|Taste-testing, magic, 'tea for two' highlight Library Week
|Monday, April 15, 2013 7:44 AM
DELPHOS — The Delphos Public Library enjoys a healthy patronage of 10,000 users and in 2012, circulated nearly 200,000 items.
During National Library Week April 15-20, the resource center will offer special programs to say "thank you."
"Library Week started in 1958 to celebrate our nation's libraries and showcase what they had to offer," Library Director Kelly Rist said. "This is a great time for people to come in a see what we have and have some fun."
Children's Librarian Denise Cressman enjoys the celebratory week and the people it brings to the library.
"Everybody has a week and we should have one, too," Cressman said. "This is the time to revitalize library attendance and encourage people to make using the library a lifelong habit."
This year's theme is "Communities matter @ your library" and the national honorary chair is Caroline Kennedy.
The week will include taste-testing of local delicacies with the Chik-n-House on Tuesday, Baked to Perfection on Wednesday and The Point on Thursday. Snacks will be offered from 3-5 p.m.
Tuesday evening is also "Family Night" with Tyler Nygren and his show "Tyler Does Magic" in the Library Commons. The Van Wert Middle School student will amaze young and old alike with his "magical" performance.
On Thursday, the Mother/Daughter Tea Party will fill the library's First Edition building with up to 50 participants, lace, frills, finger foods and, of course, tea.
Visitors to the library will receive a "green" reusable grocery bag and as in the past, the library will forgive fines next week. This does not include fines already on an account.

Di Canio won't give his squad a break (From This Is Swindon Town FC)

SWINDON TOWN: Di Canio won't give his squad a break
6:00am Friday 9th November 2012 in News By Sam Morshead
BE AFRAID, Town players, Paolo Di Canio is planning a second stint of pre-season training - at the end of November.
The Robins will have two weeks without a game between the clash with Notts County on November 24 and the visit of Doncaster on December 8, following their FA Cup first-round exit at the hands of Macclesfield last weekend.
A fortnight's break should see the majority of Swindon's injured players return to full fitness, and Di Canio is aiming to use the period to reboot the club's season.
"There are two weeks when we don't play - we can recover and work hard and prepare ourselves for December and January. It's a mini pre-season where we can work four or five days and bring some players in.
"I will work hard because we are close there and maybe we can get a few points in the next few games and recover some injuries.
"We can try ( to be in the top six) but it's not realistic at the moment.
"This is all the expectation, the plan and the hope that we're not going to have any more injuries."
Meanwhile, Di Canio suggested that Andy Williams is still four or five games away from his best form after his return from a calf injury.
He said: "Andy Williams has come back and he does not have an injury any more.
"Against Aston Villa he came back with adrenaline, but in the last two games he has struggled a bit because he will take another four or five games.
"The people speak who don't know football and it is easy to say he is fit."

Read some total drivel today both in support and in criticism of PDC, and I'll say it again - don't care if your opinion differs to mine, but at least be able to support your opinions with something, then I can respect it - some on here seem to shout all the time about being so entitled to their opinions, yet back them with stuff they've literally just made up, thought they heard from someone down the pub last week, or something misremembered/misund
erstood from an article in the adver some time ago. Get a grip people! If you want to talk total rubbish get on the rumours site. Either that or create your own "we love/**** off (delete as appropriate) DiCanio" webpage and have done with it.

Thread: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
I heard from my friend that Lane Kiffin was offered the job at the UofM and has accepted it.
He's the son of Tampa's D-Cordinator Monte Kiffin and is an assistant at USC.
That's all I've heard so far though, and I don't have any source besides what I heard.
Anyone have anything to back this up?
Thanks for the sig PurplePeopleEaters
Re: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
Just heard about it on KFAN.
Its not official yet.
Re: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
Thanks, I thought I'd be able to find something in regards to it.

Re: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
I hope its true.
He seems like a good guy and is a recruiting monster.
Getting kids to come play in LA is a bit easier than to come play in the Great White North, though. Keep the top Minnesotans home, Lane!

Re: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
I just read on a independent Gopher's Information site (http://www.gopherillustrated.com/) that he had accepted the job but it won't be announced until tomorrow (Saturday). Here's some bio information on him:
[img width=105 height=145]http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/usc/sports/m-footbl/03-04roster/Kiffin_Lane.jpg[/img]
Offensive Coordinator
Wide Receivers
Recruiting Coordinator
Lane Kiffin, the son of longtime pro and collegiate coach Monte Kiffin, is in his sixth year at USC. He joined the Trojan staff in February of 2001 and spent the 2001 season handling the tight ends. He became the wide receivers coach in 2002. In 2004, he took on the additional duty of passing game coordinator. In 2005, he was promoted to offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator, in addition to continuing as the wide receivers coach.
In 2005, he was named one of the nation's Top 25 recruiters by Rivals.com. Wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett was an All-American first teamer and Biletnikoff Award finalist. Troy's offense was in the national Top 6 in every offensive category, including tops in total offense (579.8) and second in scoring offense (49.1), and set Pac-10 records for total offense yardage, first downs, points scored, touchdowns and PATs. The Trojans, who scored 50 points a school-record 7 times, won games by an average of 26.2 points. USC became the first school to have a 3,000-yard passer, a pair of 1,000-yard runners and a 1,000-yard receiver in a season.
In 2004, Jarrett was named a Freshman All-American first teamer. The Trojans won their second consecutive national championship.
Wide receiver Mike Williams was a consensus All-American first teamer and a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award in 2003 (he finished eighth in the Heisman Trophy balloting) as he set the USC career (30) and season (16) touchdown reception records, while fellow wide receiver Keary Colbert set the USC career reception record (207) and was a NFL second round pick. Troy won its first national championship since 1978.
In 2002, Williams was a Freshman All-American first teamer and the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year as he and Colbert became USC's first pair of 1,000-yard receivers. Also in 2002, wide receiver Kareem Kelly became the Trojan career reception leader and was a sixth round NFL draft pick.
USC played in the 2001 Las Vegas Bowl, 2003 Orange Bowl, 2004 Rose Bowl, 2005 Orange Bowl (BCS Championship Game) and 2006 Rose Bowl (BCS Championship Game).
Kiffin, 30, was the defensive quality control coach for the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars in 2000 (he worked with the secondary).
He began his coaching career at Fresno State, his alma mater, where for 2 seasons (1997-98) he worked with the quarterbacks, wide receivers and defensive backs.
He then was an assistant at Colorado State in 1999, working with the offensive line. The Rams played in the Liberty Bowl that season.
Kiffin was a quarterback at Fresno State for 3 seasons (1994-96).
He earned his bachelor's degree in leisure service management from Fresno State in 1998.
He prepped at Bloomington (Minn.) Jefferson High, where he played football, basketball and baseball.
He was born May 9, 1975. His wife's name is Layla. They have a daughter, Landry, 1.
His father, Monte, is the defensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The elder Kiffin, a longtime NFL and collegiate assistant coach who served as North Carolina State's head coach in the early 1980s, has a long history with Pete Carroll (Carroll was an assistant on Kiffin's Wolfpack staff from 1980 to 1982, and they served as assistants together with Arkansas in 1977, the Buffalo Bills in 1984, the Minnesota Vikings from 1986 to 1989 and the New York Jets in 1990).
His brother, Chris, was a defensive lineman at Colorado State (2001-04).

Re: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
Glad they have found somebody that has ties to Minnesota so if he does have success hopefully he doesn't bolt after a couple of years for a bigger program and stays here to build a winning tradition at the U of M.What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Re: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
Wow, the guy is young, for a head coach.
Re: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
I like the hiring, hopefully he can turn the program around.
Thanks for the sig PurplePeopleEaters
Re: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
This is pretty exciting, hopefully he can get a good squad together.
By the time the new stadium opens up they could have a good team, and i'm looking forward to seeing a little more exciting offense on the field.
Re: Lane Kiffin new Gophers coach.
I've heard that that is just a rumor started by bloggers that KFAN ran with and it will be Haywood the OC of Notre Dame that will get hired.Minnesota Vikings : Simply the best

ÂŁ15,000 reward for stab murder info
7:45am Wednesday 21st May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Police are trying to trace Mahamed Barre in connection with the murder of Jamil Palmer, who was stabbed to death in a park in Feltham, west London (Met Police/PA)
Police are offering a ÂŁ15,000 reward over the murder of a teenager stabbed to death in a park.
Jamil Palmer, 18, was found slumped in the road near Evans Grove in Feltham, Hounslow, west London, with a stab wound on May 6.
Detectives have also released a photograph of a Somalian man who had "an altercation" with Mr Palmer earlier that day.
Officers want to speak with Mahamed Barre, 18, who received a head injury in the disagreement and may have required medical treatment, Scotland Yard said.
Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh, of the homicide and major crime command, said: "I am seeking help from the local community to help locate Mahamed Barre. I would ask anyone who knows of his whereabouts, or has any information that could assist us, to come forward.
He added: "I also appeal directly to Mahamed Barre to present himself at a police station so this matter can be dealt with."
Four teenagers - two 16-year-olds and two 15-year-olds - have previously been charged with Mr Palmer's murder.
The ÂŁ15,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the murder.
Anyone with information should call police on 020 8785 8099 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

He was kind enough to sent us the following report on L.Y.C.A.'s work:
The L.Y.C.A. Club met at our local high school (Lake Region High School). Our club's main focus is on education and prevention/eradication of milfoil in our local water bodies. Some of our projects include making milfoil mats to block sunlight which in turn kills the plant(s), building and using underwater robots to locate milfoil, and working alongside L.E.A (Lakes Environmental Association) in the process of milfoil abatement and education in the Lakes Region.
The photos below depict the L.Y.C.A club working alongside L.E.A. in the prevention and eradication of milfoil.

Stock Futures Gain on Fed Open Market Minutes
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stock futures pointing to a third day of gains for the S&P 500 after the early release of minutes from the Federal Reserve's March monetary policy and the unveiling of details of President Barack Obama's $3.8 trillion budget proposal.
The March Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes were released at 9 a.m. EDT instead of 2 p.m. after they were reportedly unintentionally released to some people.
The minutes showed that "all but a few" policymakers thought that it would be appropriate for the Committee to continue its $85 billion a month bond-buying program at least through midyear.
Futures for the S&P 500 were up 3.75 points, or 3.94 points above fair value, to 1,567. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising 35 points, or 40.54 points above fair value, to 14,645.The index posted a new closing high on Tuesday on prospects companies will post first-quarter earnings that meet or beat expectations."First quarter earnings will test the resiliency of the stock market that reached an all-time high at the end of March. The big question is: will profit margins continue to rise," Mark Kravietz, managing director and partner of HighTower's Melville, New York-based MK Wealth Management said in an email. "There is a possibility that technology and healthcare can have earnings surprises on the upside." "Historically May has been a challenging month for the markets as flows into retirement accounts start to diminish," he added. Futures for the Nasdaq were up 9.75 points, or 9.28 points above fair value, to 2,807.25. Yahoo! (YHOO) and Apple (AAPL) have been discussing how more of Yahoo!'s services can play a prominent role on Apple's iPhone and iPad devices, people briefed on the matter told The Wall Street Journal. Yahoo was rising 1.97% to $24.30 in premarket trading. IBM (IBM) was rising 1.15% to $211.62 after the computer services giant was upgraded to "buy" from "neutral" by UBS analysts who say that the company is well positioned to be a winner in "IT-as-a-service" given IBM's strength in private cloud services. President Barack Obama is scheduled to release the details of his 2014 budget plan at 11:15 a.m. EDT, two months after the Feb. 4 deadline after Democrats and Republicans hit an impasse over taxes and spending. "While we are somewhat optimistic on the prospects of a budget deal being reached, the fight over key entitlement programs and additional taxes could make this process difficult," Gennadiy Goldberg, a U.S. Strategist at TD Securities, wrote in a note. International markets were broadly higher as China's imports grew 14.1% in March, much more than the 5.2% growth expected by economists and against a drop of 15.2% in February, calming worries about Chinese demand. In Japan, excitement over aggressive easing measures persisted. A successful Italian bond auction was also bolstering investor confidence. The FTSE 100 in the U.K. was rising 0.83% and the DAX in Germany was ahead by 1.07%. The Nikkei 225 in Japan finished up 0.73% Wednesday, while the Hong Kong Hang Seng index closed up 0.75%. The benchmark 10-year Treasury was falling 2/32, boosting the yield to 1.762%. The dollar was up 0.03% to $82.34 according to the U.S. dollar index. May crude oil futures off 56 cents to $93.64 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Health Management Associates (HMA), the hospital operator, forecast first-quarter results below analysts' expectations and reduced its outlook for 2013 as admissions fell at its hospitals. The stock was plunging 12.63% to $11. Family Dollar (FDO) was slumping 4.01% to $57.40 after the Matthews, North Carolina-based discount retailer lowered its current-year earnings forecast to up to $3.93 a share from the prior estimate of as much as $4.20 a share, as customers continue to face financial pressures and tighten their spending.

With less than two weeks until the draft and no end in sight for the labor dispute, the draft will take place before teams are able to fill needs through free agency, leaving more teams panicked to address primary areas of need. In Mock Draft 5.0, PFW projects that teams will take a very need-oriented approach to the draft.
1. Carolina Panthers
Marcell Dareus | DL | Alabama [Jr.]
The Panthers have been searching for inside help for years and have struggled to find it. New defensive-minded head coach Ron Rivera lands a key piece of his new defense with the most talented, versatile defensive lineman in this year's draft.
2. Denver Broncos
Von Miller | DE | Texas A&M
Miller is hands down the best pass rusher in this year's draft. Elvis Dumervil is coming off a torn pectoral that kept him out for the entire season and the Broncos could significantly upgrade the heat coming off the edge if he returns to full health.
3. Buffalo Bills
Cam Newton | QB | Auburn [Jr.]
GM Buddy Nix is looking for a spark on offense, and Newton has proven the last two years that he can help win championships as soon as he arrives. He'll have his work cut out for him in Buffalo, but he will change the franchise more than any other player in this year's draft. The oldest front-office regime in the league takes a short-term approach.
4. Cincinnati Bengals
A.J. Green | WR | Georgia [Jr.]
With QB Carson Palmer still on the roster, the Bengals' greatest need is at receiver, and Green is the cream of the crop in this year's draft. He gives Palmer a reason to quit whining, and immediately upgrades the offense for another quarterback to be drafted later, if Palmer remains stubborn.
5. Arizona Cardinals
Blaine Gabbert | QB | Missouri [Jr.]
Ken Whisenhunt might have the most pressing need for a quarterback of any team and with few legitimate options available in free agency, he needs to act quickly to contend once again in a quarterback-deficient division.
6. Cleveland Browns
Robert Quinn | DE | North Carolina [Jr.]
Mike Holmgren knows how to fix the offense now that he has more control of the coaching staff and can dictate how to move the chains. What he sorely lacks is a pass rusher capable of producing off the edge.
7. San Francisco 49ers
Patrick Peterson | CB | LSU [Jr.]
Quarterbacks coached by Jim Harbaugh blossom under his tutelage. Most pressing for Niners GM Trent Baalke is shoring up the secondary.
8. Tennessee Titans
Nick Fairley | DT | Auburn [Jr.]
The Titans have two pressing concerns on each side of the ball and must consider addressing the quarterback position, but the lack of a pass rush led to the defense finishing 29th in the league against the pass. Fairley could change the complexion of the defense more than a quarterback could for the offense.
9. Dallas Cowboys
Tyron Smith | OT | USC [Jr.]
To keep Tony Romo healthy, the Cowboys need to improve the edges of their offensive line. OT Marc Colombo is on his last legs, and OT Doug Free struggled last season. Adding more athletic ability to a heavy-legged group helps Jason Garrett the most in his first full year on the job.
10. Washington Redskins
Julio Jones | WR | Alabama [Jr.]
Mike Shanahan's offense is best with a a big, strong, physical West Coast receiver who can create after the catch, and there are none better suited for his system this year than Jones.
11. Houston Texans
Prince Amukamara | CB | Nebraska
The Texans ranked dead last in the league defending the pass and they have needs at cornerback and safety. If Amukamara is available, new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips becomes ecstatic.
12. Minnesota Vikings
QB Jake Locker | QB | Washington
The days of desperately awaiting for the arrival of Brett Favre are gone. With a new head coach comes the need for a future franchise quarterback. Locker could bring a Fran Tarkenton energy to the Vikings' offense and has the intangibles to make vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman feel comfortable swinging the bat on a quarterback early.
13. Detroit Lions
Jimmy Smith | CB | Colorado
Lions' opponents salivated preparing gameplans featuring the deep passing attack, preying on a group of clutch-and-hold cornerbacks that were too often victimized. Jimmy Smith brings the size and press-coverage skills to help complete Jim Schwartz's defense. The Lions' pressing need at linebacker has to wait until coming rounds where talent matches the pick.
14. St. Louis Rams
Cameron Jordan | DL | California
No one understands the importance of stockpiling big, athletic, versatile pass rushers more than Steve Spagnuolo. With no top-flight receiving option available, new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will wait to land a pass catcher in the coming rounds. The Rams benefit most by adding a unique pass rusher.
15. Miami Dolphins
Ryan Mallett | QB | Arkansas
Bill Parcells admitted he may have made a mistake undervaluing Matt Ryan in 2008, given the success the Falcons have had the last two years and how much more the QB position affects the game than a premier blind-side protector. Dan Marino became a legend in Miami despite having lead feet and whispers of character concerns, similar to Mallett, and he could provide the spark GM Jeff Ireland is seeking offensively.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars
J.J. Watt | DE | Wisconsin [Jr.]
GM Gene Smith has made a concerted effort to focus on chemistry in the locker room and has sought "safe" selections. Watt is one of the safest selections in this draft and will readily assume a leadership role wherever he lands, fitting very well into the Jaguars' plans.
17. New England Patriots (from Oakland)
Anthony Castonzo | OLT | Boston College
Matt Light is unsigned and although Sebastian Vollmer has shown he can handle the left side, the Patriots still sorely need to upgrade their edge protection if they want to keep Tom Brady standing.
18. San Diego Chargers
Aldon Smith | OLB | Missouri [Soph.-3]
Smith has extremely long arms and possesses the size that GM A.J. Smith covets in his outside linebackers. He is still raw and learning the game, but has as much upside as any pass rusher in this year's draft.
19. New York Giants
Mike Pouncey | OG-C | Florida
Wherever Tom Coughlin has been, the offensive line has been strong, and age has begun to catch up with the interior of the Giants' offensive line. The Giants continue building inside-out, as they always have.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ryan Kerrigan | DE | Purdue
The Buccaneers need to improve against the run and do not have a starting-caliber bookend on the roster. With Aqib Talib bringing unwanted negative attention to the team, GM Mark Dominik focuses on adding character to the locker room.
21. Kansas City Chiefs
Gabe Carimi | OT | Wisconsin
QB Matt Cassel could use another target as much as he could improved protection, but a 30th-ranked passing game will not get better without an infusion of youth on the offensive line. Carimi is smart, confident and versatile enough to help at a number of positions, and makes Cassel's job a little easier.
22. Indianapolis Colts
Corey Liuget | DT | Illinois [Jr.]
Bill Polian is a value-driven decision maker who has focused on building his offense heavily through the draft, and it would not be a surprise if he caught the league off-guard with the selection of a proven running back such as Mark Ingram, if he is still available. Greater needs remain on both lines, however, and Liuget fills the all-important under tackle role.
23. Philadelphia Eagles
Nate Solder | OT | Colorado
The Eagles' offensive line struggled with injuries last season and would benefit from adding some younger pieces, especially with OLT Jason Peters coming off injury and recently running into trouble off the field and Winston Justice finding himself on the bench late in the season. O-line coach Howard Mudd could work magic with a raw, hard-working talent such as Solder.
24. New Orleans Saints
Muhammad Wilkerson | DE | Temple [Jr.]
The Saints have made it a priority to field a strong defensive line and with age beginning to show on the edges, Wilkerson would bring much-needed youth while also providing value kicking inside in nickel situations.
25. Seattle Seahawks
Andy Dalton | QB | TCU
Matt Hasselbeck remains unsigned and has struggled to play a full season. Dalton is a quick-triggered, West Coast passer ideally suited for the offense of new coordinator Darrell Bevell. If there is a run on quarterbacks early, Dalton has a chance to sneak into the first round and could become the future in Seattle.
26. Baltimore Ravens
Derek Sherrod | OT | Mississippi State
Joe Flacco is at his best when he has time in the pocket, and the Ravens struggled to provide enough protection last season because of struggles on the edge, primarily from the blind side, where Michael Oher regressed in his sophomore season. Sherrod has the flexibility to play either side and solidifies one of the best offensive lines in football.
27. Atlanta Falcons
Adrian Clayborn | DE | Iowa
The best way to protect the secondary is to create more of a pass rush, and with John Abraham aging, Falcons head coach Mike Smith needs more help on the front line. Clayborn's limited arm use figures to push him down draft boards, and may even push him out of the first round altogether.
28. New England Patriots
Mark Ingram | RB | Alabama [Jr.]
Ingram has been cleared by many teams medically and it may be the lack of need at the position and the diminished value of runners in a pass-first league that causes him to slip just as much as medical concerns. More teams have begun to use a specialized, combo backfield, including the Patriots, but Ingram could prove to be too valuable at this spot for the Patriots to deal the pick.
29. Chicago Bears
Marvin Austin | DT | North Carolina
Rod Marinelli made his name in coaching by managing Warren Sapp and Simeon Rice, two of the game's wildest personalities. If Cullen Jenkins is targeted in free agency as expected, the onus will fall on the offensive line, but finding a replacement for Tommie Harris remains a priority.
30. New York Jets
Akeem Ayers | OLB | UCLA [Jr.]
The rush linebacker position remains a difficult position to fill, and with so few in this year's draft, Ayers can be drafted more highly than he grades on tape. He would fill a pressing need of the Jets after Vernon Gholston did not pan out.
31. Pittsburgh Steelers
Aaron Williams | CB | Texas [Jr.]
The Steelers' secondary could be hit hard by free agency, forcing a need-driven drafting team to add a cornerback. No one creates pressure better than Dick LeBeau does with his linebackers, and a cornerback with excellent short-area cover skills such as Williams would fit extremely well in Pittsburgh.
32. Green Bay Packers
Justin Houston | OLB | Georgia [Jr.]
Pairing Clay Matthews with a big, strong edge rusher capable of leveraging the edge could take Dom Capers' defense to a new level, and Houston very well fits the mold of a Capers linebacker.

About Tinnitus
Helpful Resources
Live Event Audio Pros, Like Studio Brethren, Face Hearing Loss Threat
According to the respected House Ear Institute in Los Angeles, roughly one in five audio professionals will sustain some degree of hearing loss over the course of their career. Roll that figure in your head for a minute: one in five. I remember attending an AES conference several years ago where one panelist joked about tinnitus being the rock engineer's "badge of honor." Light chuckles filled the room, probably because they all knew he could have said "dirty little secret." But it's no laughing matter, especially to anyone who suffers from severe tinnitus.
Even as ambient sound levels in our world have become louder in the past few decades, few industry professionals have taken significant precautions to protect themselves, on the job or off. For the most part, we've become used to a generally louder environment, something that doesn't bode well for our hearing health.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines specify that an individual can be exposed to 90dB for eight hours with no risk of damage. However, every increase of 5dB reduces the scale by half. So at 105dB, you have a one-hour range to work with.
However, this is not the only guideline available. Michael Santucci, audiologist and founder of Chicago-based Sensaphonics, notes that there is a European standard that is more stringent.
"Most everyone agrees that you can be exposed to 85dB for 16 hours and not suffer any damage," says Santucci. "But Europe's ISO (International Organization of Standards) guidelines work in 3dB increments. So at 88dB, your exposure time should be no more than eight hours, and by 97dB, you're down to one hour maximum."
Even so, while OSHA standards are perhaps less stringent, they remain the primary means in the United States for assessing what is and is not safe.
Santucci also notes that while sustained exposure to loud sound is the chief cause of hearing loss, it's important to consider genetic factors as well.
"If you are in a band, and one of your parents suffered hearing loss due to overexposure, you have a 40% greater chance of incurring hearing loss in your lifetime than someone from a family who hasn't had hearing loss," says Santucci.
On-the-Job Threats
Santucci was an early champion of in-ear monitoring systems as a means of controlling the sound levels that live-event professionals were exposed to.
"When they first were coming into the market, I published articles explaining the potential benefits with IEM systems," he says. "But manufacturers are now designing systems that will top out at 140dB. And a monitor mixer's job depends on the artist being happy, so they'll crank it up even if it damages the musician's hearing over time."
For this reason, it's important for artists who use IEMs to have an audiologist test dB levels as they use their system. This way, artists begin to take responsibility for their hearing, which may, in the long run, help prolong their careers.
But it's not just the artists who are at risk. Potentially damaging noise levels can come during setup and breakdown of a stage and sound system. Forklifts, power tools, hammers, and metal-on-metal grating sounds are all part of the sonic world of live events. If you, your co-workers, or your employees assist in any facet of putting on a live event, you are at risk. Just ask anyone who has been nailed by feedback flying out of a monitor at sound check. And that person may have only been moving the monitor when it happened.
One thing to consider is the financial cost of hearing loss, not only to the musician, but also to all the other industries and jobs that benefit from — and depend on — the musician's success. This is particularly a big consideration in the case of high-profile performers.
"Recently, a big-name artist released a CD, but decided not to tour because of his hearing loss," explains Santucci. "A friend of mine asked me to consider how much money was lost by all the industries that make money from large, lengthy tours. He explained that I'd have to take into account all the trucking and transportation, the sound system rental companies, the hotels, and all the promotion. Potentially, millions of dollars could be lost."
That means that the pocketbooks of staging and rental professionals could be hit in some form or another by this threat. Therefore, the financial incentive for audio professionals to practice and promote hearing health is clear.
So what's the single best thing you can do for your hearing now?
First, locate a reputable audiologist experienced in working with touring musicians and get a hearing test to establish what your baseline is. Once you establish that, make sure to have yearly check-ups to monitor changes. Also, industry professionals often fail to consider the need to save their hearing by taking logical precautions when off the job, especially considering they frequently have no choice but to risk excessive exposure to unsafe noise levels on the job. If you live in a noisy neighborhood, consider buying a pair of simple foam earplugs that will filter out loud noises such as bus screeches or sirens.
In the opening chapter of his 1985 book, The Third Ear, Joachim-Ernst Berendt quotes noted ethno-musicologist Marius Schneider: "One of the most remarkable manifestations of the degeneration of modern man is an incredible weakening of his acoustic sense."
Working in a profession where loud noise levels come with the gig makes it more important for industry professionals to educate themselves about hearing loss before it's too late. By taking responsibility for your hearing and teaching others, you can make a difference in your life, in the lives of those around you, and those yet to come.

On Tinnitus
Tinnitus — a constant, ringing noise in the ear or head — isn't a disease, but rather a symptom. In fact, most everyone experiences head noise or ringing in the ears at some point in their life. What contributes to this experience, however, isn't limited to overexposure to very loud noise. Other stressors include too much coffee or aspirin, or medications you might be taking. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption also can inhibit blood flow to the inner ear, compromising the repair of nerve tissue essential to hearing. Pathological stress, such as wax build-up, can also produce symptoms of tinnitus.
Physical and emotional stress can likewise take their toll. Individuals who are anxious or depressed will tend to notice the onset of tinnitus more often than those who are not. At times, psychological counseling is necessary to help people who have become used to their tinnitus. The idea that tinnitus can be addressed with antidepressant drugs may seem odd, yet it points to the role the brain plays in determining what we are conscious of in our daily lives.

After stopping by a few places once I got into Santa Fe, and being a little disappointed, I headed over to Liquor Barn on Cerrillos. Wow! Was I glad I did. The selection of Belgians was superior to most with choices like; Westmalle, Duvel, and Cantillon. While some might be thinking these selections are run of the mill, wait until you see the prices. Liquor Barn somehow offers fine brews for dollars (not cents) off the sales price of other shops. For example, Stone Ruination IPA...$5.99/bomber! That's unheard of here in northern VA. And a 4 pack of Duvel for $11. Seriously!?!? I feel like I'm robbing the place.
All in all, you shouldn't be beer hunting in Santa Fe without stopping by the "Barn." Although some places may be cleaner, what are you really there for---that's right. The Beer!

This place touts the best beer selection in Santa Fe on the moniker outside the store. This place was busy when I went in but he majority of people were buy cheap cases of beer and some were buying BMC by the singles.
The place had kind of an old gas station feel to it, a bit dirty and long low shelves of beer with years of beer posters stuck to the windows, and a bit faded. The craft beer was in the back and there were several long shelves of warm beer with a long cooler wall of cold beer mostly BMC. They had three 3-L Arrogent Bastard bottles with the padlocks on the shelf, and many other stone beers along with Oskar cans, and some other popular big craft beer names. They didn't have any one-off beers except for the Santa Fe Brewing Co limited edition bottles.
They had a small cooler up front of 12 oz. singles but most of those were BMC but I found a few intersting beers that I didn't want to buy a whole 6-pack.
I would stop back in for some good session beers or to see if Santa Fe has any new limited release bottles if I were in the neighbor hood again.

This is the only liquor store in Santa Fe I've been in, so I don't have much to compare it to. That being said - this place was an absolute mess. For some reason there was a large area in the center of the store with some sparse shelves, and a broken down washing machine?! On the shelves I found several beers I'm not familiar with, but many of the bottles were dusty, and the organization was once again, a mess. Beers were scattered with no obvious organization, often in multiple places. The staff didn't seem to care if I was there or not, and continued their conversation with each other the entire time the rang me up, without ever saying a word to me. I certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

3.95/5 rDev +13.5%
This place has, easily, the most extensive selection of beer in Santa Fe. Has a large cooler section and an even larger area with room temperature beers. One knock to this place is that some of these bottles out in the open tend to have some dust on them and I saw some beers that were over a year old. Awesome selection with tons of stuff from Kona, Stone, Rogue, Ska, Cantillon, De Ranke, Boon, Odell, Santa Fe Brewing Co., and many others. I didn't get an impression of the staff one way or the other, really. I definitely recommend this place, but just keep an eye out for bottled on dates, etc..

Pretty impressive how a new coach has turned Alex Smith from a bust to a star.
You don't think it's just that Alex Smith is a smarter QB than Freeman and knows where to go with the ball and doesn't stare down receivers?
Smith isn't elite he is a product of a system.
Try again please because it's Harbaugh's system that has Smith so improved.

Many people have said that Joe Montana and Tom Brady are system QB's, and they are 2 of the 10 best to ever play in the NFL. No, I don't think that Alex Smith will be a top 10 all-time QB now that Harbaugh is there, but it's rediculous to lable him a "system QB" to discredit him. You don't think it's possible that what we are seeing in Alex Smith is what could have happened to Joe Montana or Tom Brady had they been in the "wrong system"? Before you laugh, remember... Alex Smith was a consensus 1st round / top 10 pick.... Montana and Brady were not!
