Student Aid And Postsecondary Tax Preferences:
Limited Research Exists on Effectiveness of Tools to Assist Students and Families through Title IV Student Aid and Tax Preferences
GAO-05-684: Published: Jul 29, 2005. Publicly Released: Aug 29, 2005.

Federal assistance helps students and families pay for postsecondary education through several policy tools--grant and loan programs authorized by title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and more recently enacted tax preferences. In fiscal year 2004, about $14 billion in grants and $56 billion in loans were made under title IV while estimated outlay equivalents for postsecondary tax preferences amounted to $10 billion. In light of the relative newness and financial significance of tax preferences, this report examines (1) how title IV assistance compares to that provided through the tax code, (2) the extent to which tax filers effectively use postsecondary tax preferences, and (3) what is known about the effectiveness of federal assistance.
Title IV student aid and tax preferences provide assistance to a wide range of students and families in different ways. While both help students meet current expenses, tax preferences also assist students and families with saving for and repaying postsecondary costs. While both serve students and families with a range of incomes, some forms of title IV aid--grant aid, in particular--provide assistance to those whose incomes are lower, on average, than is the case with tax preferences. While both require students and families to fill out forms, tax preferences require more responsibility on the part of students and families because they must identify applicable tax preferences, understand complex rules concerning their use, and correctly calculate and claim credits or deductions. While the tax preferences are a newer policy tool, the number of tax filers using them has grown quickly, surpassing the number of students aided under title IV in 2002. Some tax filers do not appear to make optimal education-related tax decisions. For example, among the limited number of tax returns available for our analysis, 27 percent of eligible tax filers did not claim either the tuition deduction or a tax credit. In so doing, these tax filers failed to reduce their tax liability by $169, on average, and 10 percent of these filers could have reduced their tax liability by over $500. One explanation for these taxpayers' choices may be the complexity of postsecondary tax provisions, which experts have commonly identified as difficult for tax filers to use. Little is known about the effectiveness of title IV aid or tax preferences in promoting, for example, postsecondary attendance or choice, in part because of research data and methodological challenges. As a result, policymakers do not have information that would allow them to make the most efficient use of limited federal resources to help students and families.

Rio Tinto Hydrocyclone Batteries
- Details
- Published on Monday, 01 December 2008 11:07
In December, Kador completed the first of three hydrocyclone batteries for Rio Tinto Aluminium's US$1.8 billion Yarwun Stage 2 alumina refinery expansion project near Gladstone. The project will more than double annual production, increasing annual alumina output from 1.4 million tonnes to 3.4 million tonnes by 2011.
The hydrocyclone batteries are each 6m wide and 5m high and will be installed in the Hydrate Classification section of the refinery. They each contain 24 cyclones and take liquor slurry from the Precipitation Tanks through a central distributor and separate it into Product (Hydrate) Slurry and Fine Seed Slurry.
Kador's scope of work included full shop trial assembly of the batteries, and hydrostatic testing of the internal piping systems.
Kador has good experience in the fabrication of the complex shapes used to make the hydrocyclone battery tanks and tundishes, having made the batteries for the initial stage of the Yarwun refinery, in 2003.
Kador Sponsors Brisbane Mining Dump Trucks Conference
- Details
- Published on Saturday, 01 November 2008 11:05
As Queensland's leading manufacturer of dump bodies for mining dump trucks, Kador was pleased to accept an invitation to become a major sponsor of the Mining Dump Trucks conference to be held at the Brisbane Hilton Hotel on 9 & 10 Dec.
The conference organisers write:
Increasing the payload on mining trucks can deliver substantial returns and improved productivity. Lighter trays deliver greater payload, however durability must be maintained for the productivity to be realized. But lighter trays and increased payload cannot be at the detriment of tyres or maintenance.
The impact of tray design can flow through to reduced maintenance, servicing, fuels, lubricants, tyre wear and tear. Workplace safety is also a major consideration in the operation of dump trucks. All of these items are critical to the overall successful management of a mine. The savings these design and operational changes deliver can result in many millions of dollars of additional profit.
The Mining Dump Trucks conference will bring together experts to look at the most pressing issues associated with dump truck tray design and to examine how best to improve productivity through streamlined operations.
At a time of economic uncertainty and rising pressures at the operational level this practical and focused event offers delegates a unique opportunity to learn from experts and to network with peers.
Further information about the conference, and registration details, are available on the Informa Australia web site.
Kador & Nyanda State High School Enter Into an Industry Cooperative Programme
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 01 October 2008 11:05
Teachers at Nyanda State High School in Salisbury approached Kador in late 2007, looking for assistance to give their students real life skills that could lead to possible trade placements in the steel fabrication industry. Kador suggested that the students manufacture a quantity of the concrete mixer discharge chutes and support racks that Kador makes for a long standing customer.
After some months of set up, and with the assistance of a grant from the Queensland Department of Education, Training and the Arts, the students delivered their first batch of chutes in September.
The key focus areas for the program were to give the students an introduction into the engineering industry with real deadlines and simulated work conditions. With the help of Kador personnel and support from their teachers, the students have fabricated, welded and presented parts to industry quality standards. All students have enjoyed the challenge and are now looking forward to planning and producing further components.
Kador already has fifteen apprentices in its three workshops, and plans to take on further school based - and full time apprentices in the near future.
TV Network visits Kador Workshops
- Details
- Published on Monday, 01 September 2008 11:07
During September, Kador hosted a visit from a writer and producer from one of the TV networks who are researching a planned six part television drama series. The series will be largely set in and around a fictional medium sized engineering workshop which produces equipment and components for the mining industry.
Their specific interest was life in the workplace in the twenty first century - how things have changed, the cultural mix, migrant and temporary guest workers, the impact of the mining boom, the "post Workchoices" world in terms of employer/employee relations, etc.
The proposed fiction drama series will be set in Townsville and feature 'nuts and bolts' detail of life in the engineering world - from the minutiae of work on the shop floor, to the experiences of both local and guest employees, and the increasingly competitive business environment faced by employers.
Through visits to our three workshops, Kador gave the network personnel a good overview of life in a busy steel fabrication facility making engineered products for the mining and other industries.
Norwich Park Mine - Coal Hauler to Water Spray Rig Conversions
- Details
- Published on Friday, 01 August 2008 11:06
Kador is giving a new lease of life to two old 220T belly dump coal haulers by converting them into 190KL water spray rigs.
The haulers, which are each over 15 years old, and at the end of their useful life, are being sent from BMA's Norwich Park Mine to Kador's Carole Park workshop, where we cut off the gooseneck and tail section, and fit a new 190KL water tank in between.
Kador's work scope includes the design (including FEA) of the new baffled monocoque tank, integration of the new tank with the old gooseneck and tail end, and all mechanical, hydraulic and electrical work to provide fully functional water spray rigs for BMA.
The first of the 'new' water spray rigs was returned to Norwich Park Mine in August, and married up with its Cat 784 prime mover where it will provide many more years' service to the mine operations.
The second rig conversion commenced immediately after the completion of the first.

Severus Snape had a traumatic childhood but that doesn't change the fact he emotionally abused vulnerable children for no reason and…
Which doesn't explain why everyone gives McGonagall a free pass when she sent two 11 year olds into a place all the students had been expressly forbidden from entering because of how dangerous it was (a thing that is only confirmed in later books) especially when she knew that there was something so evil and murderous in there that it was killing unicorns and drinking their blood…
in short McGonagall is an abusive psychopath who should, under no circumstances, have been put in a position of authority over children.

The year is 2027. It is Super Bowl season. The football players that have been selected for this year's culling huddle in a sad, discontented mass in the middle of an overgrown stadium. The stink of fear mingles with the smell of fresh earth, an unholy bouquet for a terrible day.
Then they begin arriving, singly and in groups. Their claws glint in the harsh stadium lights, and there is blood matted into their fur. The football players put on their game face, but the hollowness of their eyes betrays their true hopelessness. There is no use fighting, other than to make a brave showing.
After all, everyone knows the bears always win.

They even have one in their family now!!!
Dear Romneys: we all already knew you we're complete pieces of shit, but naming an infant, a fucking infant, something to drive home his "otherness" is fucking disgusting.
Wow so surprise surprise the Romneys could be bothered to fucking Google.
one tiny little nitpick and a quick word history (I know there is an actual word for this but I can't remember it) thing.
Whatever the hell wikipedia says it doesn't mean 'blacky' because black is Dhu or Dubh in Irish or Scots Gaelic.
It would have traditionally be given as a name to someone with dark (brown or black) hair and would probably have started as a nickname rather than a true name in much the same way as Rory (Ruaidh) means Red and was a nickname for someone with red hair before it because a true first name.

In part 1 of this series I previewed guys who I thought could be options at pick 28. The purpose of this post is to shed light on a few guys who might be available at pick 60(plus a few special requests.) I'm sure all of you guys put your collective live's on hold until I evaluated these other 6 corners, so thank you for the patience.
Kyle Fuller-Virginia Tech
What a surprise, another year, another Fuller to evaluate. At the risk of sounding overly vague, Kyle just strikes me as a ball player. He is as aggressive a corner that I can remember. Before I started researching him I had held the belief that he was exclusively a zone type of guy. After reviewing his game against Alabama and seeing him in man against Cooper, I was wrong. FWIW, I still think a zone heavy scheme will suit him best at the next level. He is the best tackling corner I think I have ever scouted. Fuller possesses good instincts with the ball in the air and is very adept at swatting the ball away or breaking up passes. It's unfortunate his season was derailed by injuries otherwise I think he would have had a more statistically productive year.
- Ball Skills
- Run support and tackling
- Length
- Pedigree
- Fluid hips
- Top end speed and quickness
- Sometimes overly aggressive vs run and pass
- Overly reliant on instinct and skill
- Freelancing leads to big plays
Loucheiz Purifoy-Florida
Let's get it out of the way, awesome name. A potential red flag of his is he was suspended for a game due to "violating team rules." He has the length, speed, and athleticism to be a productive man corner in the NFL. Purifoy is skilled at both using his hands and the sideline to his advantage. I like Purifoy a lot, but I am not 100% sure he could step onto the field immediately and be a contributor considering how raw some of his technique still is(he played offense in HS and even some in college.)
- Speed
- Blitzing
- Recovery
- Awareness
- Run support
- Raw/weak in press coverage
- Strength
Antone Exum-Virginia Tech
While IMO Exum is the less athletic of the two VT CBs in this years class, he might be the more versatile. To be completely honest, I'm not even sure if his best NFL position is actually going to be cornerback. I am of the opinion he could be a very solid safety or even OLB. Unfortunately, I was not able to fully and accurately evaluate him as much as I would have liked due to him only playing in 2 games this past season. Most of the analysis is based on his junior season prior to his ACL tear.
- Hard hitter
- Versatility(played both S and CB while at VT)
- Zone defense
- Size
- Route understanding and anticipation
- Nagging injury concerns
- Speed and acceleration
- Slow feet and somewhat rigid hips
- Shows occasional tendency to "Godfrey"
Marcus Roberson-Florida
Of the 3 Florida corners entering the draft this year, Roberson is my favorite and the most NFL ready. Although he's still honing his craft, he just looks very natural in man coverage, both press and off. He was a 3 year starter at Florida before deciding to enter the draft after his junior season. During his time at UF, he proved capable both as a slot and boundary corner. My biggest concern with him is at times he seemed lost, which in conjunction with him not being particularly athletic causes problems.
- Run defense
- Press coverage
- Use of hands
- Motor
- Short area quickness
- Length
- Weak for his size
- Questionable hips
- Athleticism
- Ball skills(gets lost at times)
Andre Hal-Vanderbilt
I didn't know much about Hal until I started watching his film for this piece. After review, he could be a mid-round gem. Hal has gone up against top-flight competition in the SEC as a starting corner the past 2 seasons. Andre was used in multiple roles at Vandy, lining up as a slot and boundary corner, and even returning kicks his sophomore season. My biggest critique of him is that I would like to see more awareness/savvy from a senior.
- Versatility(inside & outside)
- Fluid hips/backpedal
- Scheme diverse(played man and zone at vandy)
- Tackling
- Double moves
- Awareness/reaction
- Untested ball skills due to lax off-man coverage
Jaylen Watkins-Florida
For the most part, Jaylen stayed under the radar during his career in Gainsville. Don't let that be an indictment on his skill level though, it's not hard to be forgotten about when your brother is regarded as a potential top 5 pick. Jaylen Watkins spent the 2013 season at safety for the gators, although his NFL position will probably be boundary corner due to his length and build. Watkins is raw in his technique due to lack of playing time on the outside, but as a 4th or 5th round developmental man coverage prospect he has everything teams will be looking for.
- Length
- Fluid and smooth hips
- Positional versatility
- Above average ball skills
- Speed
- Shedding blocks
- Upper body strength(needed for jamming WR's)
- Tackling technique
- Positional experience(jack of all trades, master of none)
Watkins at CB in 2012 vs Kentucky
I hope this was at least somewhat helpful in shedding some light on more cornerbacks in this year's class. If anyone has any questions or requests please don't hesitate to do so in the comments.

Here's an open thread from anyone who wants to comment during the game. Also, if you are unable to watch the game I'll be giving commentary on the key plays as best I can. I'm on kid duty today so in between referring brawls between my boys and keeping them from destroying the house I'll report on brawls on the field and watching the Panthers destroy the Bucs!
My game day musings:
• Is this the week Dwayne Jarrett comes off the inactive list? I wouldn't be surprised that when that happens the Panthers trade or cut Keary Colbert outright right then.
• How much will Stanley McClover play today? I've talked him up so much I hope he at least makes one play to talk about.
• Will David Carr play like we know he is capable of playing? I actually find myself not too worried about this.
•Will the Panthers finally generate a pass rush? We need to be a little more creative in our blitzes.
• Will DeAngelo Williams finally break a big play? He's been close a couple times. He's due.
• Will Steve Smith bounce back? Of course he will. How did that thought ever even enter my mind?
• Finally, will the Panthers home field actually provide an advantage? I know the Cat Man has been trying to come up with some type of cheer to fire up the home crowd. Let's keep an eye out for that.
Go Panthers!!!
[Update: Weather Report - Charlotte, NC - 82 degress, sunny, pleseantly warm - End Update]
I must concur that it's a beautiful day as well here in Charleston! Maybe a couple degrees warmer, slightly windy.

Salem, MA — Mrs. Catherine "Kay" (Kirchmier) Piemonte died peacefully on April 5, 2013, at her home in Salem, Mass., at the age of 84.
Raised in Burkeville, Va., and a graduate of Hanover College in Indiana, and Salem State University, Kay taught in Nokesville, Va., Harwinton, Conn., and was the librarian at Salem High School.
As a committed genealogist and chronicler, Kay was dedicated to preserving history and sharing knowledge. She was a devoted member of Tabernacle Church where she organized the church's historical collection and built a church archive. She compiled and edited Salem's Church with the Lighted Steeple, a history of Tabernacle Congregational Church from 1735 to 2007, and in 2012 co-organized the bicentennial celebration of America's first foreign missionaries, who left Salem for India in 1812.
As an active member of the Essex Society of Genealogists, Kay taught classes on genealogical research at many venues, including the Explorers Lifelong Learning Institute linked to Salem State University. She also served on the Institute's executive board and was a member of the curriculum committee. Because of her contributions to the Explorers, she was awarded the Explorer of the Year Award.
One of her avid interests and expertise was evident in her beautiful quilts. Kay was a prolific quilter and her works have been shared with her friends, reflecting her love of giving. Many of Kay's quilts may also be found at Tabernacle Church. Kay was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and was humorously referred to as "Perpetual Motion Kay".
She is survived by Joseph Piemonte, her beloved husband of 59 years, six children, eight grandchildren and two brothers. She also leaves scores of devoted friends and admirers.
ARRANGEMENTS: A memorial celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, April 20, at 3 p.m. in the Tabernacle Congregational Church, 50 Washington St., Salem. Relatives and friends invited.

Chris Tittle
Having spent the past two years teaching English in rural Japan as part of the JET program, Chris recently returned to the U.S. His interest and involvement in environmental issues was strongly influenced by a seven-month overland backpacking trip from Japan to West Africa. The call of the open road, getting lost in the wilderness, and good beer are among his passions. Chris graduated from Washington and Lee University with a degree in history and poverty studies. He currently works for an outdoor education organization in Pittsburgh, Pa.

How a Judge's TV Ruling Might Save the NFL, NFLPA from Armageddon
Excerpt: In one ruling, the judge potentially locked the owners out of more than $4 billion in broadcast rights fees that would be paid even if no games are played, and at the very least will assign damages – potentially in the hundreds of millions – to the players. But, it's larger than just that. They say you are only as strong as your weakest link. Your ability to sustain the center dictates how much pressure a group can withstand. Several of the NFL's clubs have considerable stadium debt service obligations, so banking on that $4 billion made thought of a lockout at least somewhat palatable.

I recently met with Keith, a long-time friend who worked for years in Biglaw before leaving the practice of law entirely. We were reminiscing, and he reminded me of an incident I had forgotten about:
He had worked on an appeal in which the amount at stake exceeded $10 million. He spent dozens of hours conducting legal research and probably another 100 or so writing the brief.
He finished his draft months before the brief was due. So when he turned in the brief to his supervisor, it was not immediately reviewed. Every week or so, Keith would send a reminder, but the weeks turned into months.
Keith planned to file the brief with a Court of Appeals on the East Coast via Federal Express. E-filing was not yet available and, in any event, onerous binding of the exhibits and other requirements made that impossible.
What happened next?

MADISON (WKOW) -- Wisconsin is known for cheese, but with so many great places to get cheese curds, how do providers distinguish themselves?
Mariah Haberman and the crew from Discover Wisconsin set out to find the unique restaurants and stores that make and sell cheese curds in their upcoming "Curds and Whey" episode. It airs on WKOW Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
Discover Wisconsin came across a new Madison food truck, Curd Girl. It's co-owner, Jessica Wartenweiler joined Haberman on Wake Up Wisconsin to share their secret to success. She uses a beer batter to coat the curds before frying them, and creates tasty dips to add more flavor.

Here's the gist of it...
Taking place as part of the ongoing African Diaspora International Film Festival here in NYC, a panel titled Monetizing Independent Cinema. I believe the title speaks for itself.
The event will take place at Teachers College, Columbia University - The Chapel (175 Zankel Hall), 525 West 120th Street, New York, NY, beginning at 2PM.
Panelists include: Miton Tabbot, IFP Senior Director, Programming, Maria Breaux (director Mother Country), Eliaichi Kimaro (director A Lot Like You), Benedict A. Dorsey (director The Human Web), Catilin Boyle (President FilmSprout), and Reinaldo B. Spech (President ArtMattan Productions).
Tickets to the event at just $6 each, and you can purchase your in advance HERE.

I watched a number of movies in this festival and they all rocked! The diversity of directors, subject matter and geography as well as the depth of the issues portrayed were unparalleled. Its amazing to me that films of such caliber don't stand a chance of making it into the mainstream.
I hope ADIFF gains more visibility and secures its place on the high table of global film festivals. The organizers should be commended for an outstanding job.
Susan Marcai | December 11, 2011 12:46 PM
I, too, am looking for a way to see black independent films. How can those of us at colleges and universities support a tour of these films or a tour of the festival?
Betty Chambers | December 9, 2011 7:45 PM
Is there any place online - not bootleg nor pirate downloading - where I can view African films? I like this site. I see a lot about movie premieres, but maybe I missed the links where I can access the films from some vendor like Netflix or something.

San Francisco 49ers
Anthony Davis - #76 - T
|6' 5"/ 323 lbs.
|Piscataway, NJ
|Years played
|2010, 1st round, 11th pick by 49ers
Report: 49ers hold private workout for CB Peterson
A FOXSports.com report Saturday said that the 49ers held a private workout for LSU CB Patrick Peterson, the top-ranked corner in the 2011 NFL draft.
Draft Dose: Who needs an outside linebacker?
In the 30th installment of the Draft Dose series, PFW takes a look at 10 teams in need of an outside linebacker like Texas A&M's Von Miller.
Draft countdown: Pick No. 7
PFW looks back at the last 10 players chosen with the seventh pick in the NFL draft, highlighted by the Vikings' selection of Adrian Peterson in 2007.
Baalke: 49ers would welcome Alex Smith back
49ers GM Trent Baalke reaffirmed Wednesday that the team would like to bring free agent Alex Smith back to compete for the starting QB job in 2011.
49ers keeping the faith in OT Davis
Despite a very rough rookie campaign, we hear the 49ers aren't ready to give up at all on promising 2010 first-round ORT Anthony Davis.
Report: 49ers have offer ready for Smith
The 2005 No. 1 pick, QB Alex Smith, could get a chance to remain with the 49ers and battle for the starting quarterback spot.
49ers might draft QB high — but not with top pick
While we hear the Niners are unlikely to use their first-round draft pick on a quarterback, it's quite possible they could look seriously at a signalcaller in either the second or third round.
Players working out despite lockout
NFL players are locked out of their team facilities due to the ongoing labor negotiations, but that hasn't stopped some players from meeting up with teammates and getting work done.
Under siege under center
Adding to the uncertainty due to the current lockout are the undeniably shaky QB situations facing one-third of the league's teams, including the 49ers and holdover starter Alex Smith.
NFC team needs
The Vikings are looking for a successor to QB Brett Favre, as PFW identifies the top three draft needs of each NFC team.
Niners free agent Franklin willing to test market
With the 49ers and NT Aubrayo Franklin apparently differing somewhat on the former franchise player's current worth, we hear it's likely Franklin will test the free-agent market.
New California stadiums unlikely due to budget issues
The Chargers, Raiders and 49ers all received grim news on Monday, as their hopes of having state money go to new stadiums was dismissed by politicians.
49ers' mixed QB signals worth monitoring
While there's no denying the strong relationship between 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh and GM Trent Baalke, their differing views on Alex Smith could become a problem.
Report: 49ers tender three
OLB Manny Lawson, SS Dashon Goldson and DE Ray McDonald were all sent tenders by the Niners, according to CSN Bay Area.
NFC West free-agent preview
With the owners and players mired in negotiations, the beginning of free agency is likely to be delayed. Yet, PFW examines the free-agent picture for each club, with the NFC West featured today.
A person with knowledge of the contract says Davis and the San Francisco 49ers have agreed on a five-year extension through the 2019 season worth more than $37 million.||||||| The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press on Friday because the team had yet to announce the deal. The contract totals $37.295 million, with $17 million guaranteed. The 23-year-old tackle has started 16 games in each of his first three years. He helped the 49ers win consecutive NFC West titles and reach the Super Bowl last season - a 34-31 loss to Baltimore.

Manchester United squad enjoy a walk at the start of their pre-season tour of the United States at LAX Airport on July 18, 2014 in Los Angeles, California.
Jones, Smalling and Evans dress to impress
With club legends Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic no longer at Manchester United, the 2014/15 season will undoubtedly shine a spotlight on the club's remaining centre-backs.
The Reds are not short of talent in that department either with Jonny Evans, Phil Jonesand Chris Smalling all vying for starting positions under Louis van Gaal. Given that this is such an important campaign for all three, it's important they are fully prepared for action.
As such, United's triumvirate of defenders were all delighted to approve of the club's new home kit, which will be worn for the first time during this month's friendly with LA Galaxy.
Speaking to ManUtd.com, former Academy graduate Evans said: "It's nicely fitted, so it makes me look even slimmer! It's a very nice kit and to be fair, every time we bring out a new kit the lads seem to be impressed with it.
"It feels great and you're playing for the badge on it. It doesn't matter exactly what the kit looks like, but it does feel good when you've got a kit on that you do like to wear, that feels nice when you go out to play, but as long as the badge is there, it doesn't really matter."
Versatile powerhouse Jones is also enthused by the kit, and looks forward to wearing it with pride on matchday. "It's very nice, it fits quite well and I like the attention to detail this year. I think the lads are going to like it.
"It's slightly different this year, with the button at the top, but we like to do things differently. It means a lot to wear this shirt. Every time you go out you have to prove that you're good enough to wear it. It's always a proud moment putting it on."
As for Smalling, who is about to enter his fifth season at the Theatre of Dreams, he can't wait for the action to begin. "The history of the shirt is massively important and having that Red Devil on your badge gives you that something extra to play for.
"I think it's very smart. I like the fact that it's not got a collar - that works with me. As I say it's very smart and the addition of the button is a nice touch. You can always change it depending on what mood you're in. It's nice to have a bit of variety."

(Collected for Professor E.L. Starr, Salem College, Winston-Salem,
North Carolina by Miss__________- received by the North Carolina Folk-
Lore Society, January 23, 1915.
N.B. – The original manuscript the stanzas of 8 lines instead of 4.
Lovers I pray lend an ear to my story
And take example from this constant pair
How love a young creature blast in her glory
Beautiful Nancy if your mother will hear.
She was a merchant's lovely fair daughter
Heir's of fifteen hundred year
A young man he courted her to be his jewel
A son of a gentlemen who lived near.
Many long years he this maid did court
When they were infants in love They agreed
And when to age this couple arrived
A cupid and arrow between them displayed.
They made a promise to for be married
But when their parents the same came to know
They took their beautiful charming daughter
Separated apart that base and severe.
Daughter they said give over your proceedings
If that against our consent you do wed
For ever more we resolve to disown you
If you wed one that's so meanly bred
Her mother said you are a great fortune
Besides you are beautiful charming and young
You are a match my dear child fitten
For any a lord that's in all Christendom
Then did reply this beautiful virgin
Riches and honor I both defy
If that I am denied of my dearest love
The farewell this world which is all vanity
Jimmy is the man that I do admire
He is the riches that I do adore
For to be greater I never desire
My heart is fixed to love no more
Then said her father this my resolution
Altho I have no more daughters but you
If that with him you are resolved to marry
Banished from me you forever shall be

Corporate Media Lose Their Favorite 'Warrior Scholar'Peter Hartbyline' Nov. 14' 2012
There's no doubt that the sex scandal that prompted CIA director David Petraeus's sudden resignation late last week is a big story. New details–verified or not–seem to arrive almost by the hour.
But the reason it seems to have shaken so many media figures is because Petraeus was uniquely beloved by many in the corporate media, who considered him both an accessible source and a war hero.
NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams called him (11/9/12) a "a man of such sterling reputation," and confided on the air to one guest that "it is impossible to be a member of the military establishment, it's impossible to be a journalist who has covered these wars going back 10 years and not know Dave Petraeus, as you and I both do–soldier, scholar, Princeton PhD."

Is this the best a highly paid New York Times Nobel prize winning columnist can do? I'm reporting from four-wheeler while checking a game camera deep in the mountains (from a cell phone) and can do a better job of checking my sources than Krugman.
There is something creepy strange about this guy that I can't put my finger on. He always looks like he just got busted peeping through a keyhole.
(Paul Krugman) There are multiple errors and misrepresentations in Niall Ferguson's cover story in Newsweek — I guess they don't do fact-checking — but this is the one that jumped out at me. Ferguson says:
"The president pledged that health-care reform would not add a cent to the deficit. But the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation now estimate that the insurance-coverage provisions of the ACA will have a net cost of close to $1.2 trillion over the 2012–22 period."
Readers are no doubt meant to interpret this as saying that CBO found that the Act will increase the deficit. But anyone who actually read, or even skimmed, the CBO report (pdf) knows that it found that the ACA would reduce, not increase, the deficit — because the insurance subsidies were fully paid for.
(News Busters) Please notice that the CBO report Krugman linked to is from March 30, 2011.
What he failed to inform his readers is the CBO revised these numbers in a March 13, 2012, report finding "the insurance coverage provisions of the ACA will have a net cost of just under $1.1 trillion over the 2012–2021 period."
In addition, the March 2012 report estimates ObamaCare "will increase deficits by $1,083 billion." Keep Reading

First Music Video Shot in Space: Astronaut Chris Hadfield Performing David Bowie's 'Space Oddity'
If you haven't seen it yet, well, prepare for something that has never happened in the history of human existence: the first full music video shot in space. Chris Hadfield, a Canadian astronaut and the exiting commander of the International Space Station, just released a tribute music video to David Bowie's Space Oddity, which was shot completely aboard the ISS.

Sundance Channel and Nokia Music Document the Underground Music Scene in 'New American Noise'
If you're heavily into music you'll undoubtably be aware that certain geographical areas tend to become associated with particular music scenes. For myself here in the UK, I could quickly point to Manchester as the birth place of the aptly named 'Madchester' scene comprising bands such as The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, and The Charlatans, and the beautifully idealistic Factory Records, closely followed by rave culture which sprang up around the legendary Hacienda nightclub. Recently Nokia Music in partnership with the Sundance Channel raided Somesuch & Co's director roster (Emily Kai Bock – Spit Gold Under An Empire, Tyrone Lebon – Atlanta Dream$ & SFV ACID, Bob Harlow – Lords of Detroit & Abteen Bagheri – Electric Noise & That B.E.A.T) for New American Noise; a six-part series of documentaries exposing the underground music scene in six US cities.

Ever Wonder What Goes into Film Trailer Scores? Learn All About Epic Trailer Music with Yoav Goren
Advertising and the movie business go hand in hand, and a huge piece of that puzzle is the music accompanying film trailers. But have you ever wondered how movie trailers get their epic scores, even though none of that music typically finds itself in the film? That's where the movie trailer composer comes in. Michael Coleman over at SoundWorks Collection is consistently producing excellent behind the scenes videos related to sound professionals in the film and TV industries, and today we've got another fantastic piece with composer Yoav Goren, who writes music specifically for trailers.

Amazon's AutoRip: Buy a CD, Get the Cloud Version Free (and Maybe Films One Day, Too?)
Amazon has just announced a new service integrated into its powerful music sales tier called AutoRip, which grants CD buyers an immediately downloadable digital copy of that very album — or any CD purchased on Amazon for the last fifteen years (if it's in the catalogue). Previously, you might have ripped the CD yourself when it came in the mail. AutoRip does the same thing, except, well… it's automatic, and instant. Actually, the service sounds so obvious it's almost a wonder no one thought of it sooner. In response, though, I have to ask: music and CDs are great, for sure — but why stop there? While you're at it, Amazon, why not do the same for films too? More »
Universal and Sony Record Companies Caught Faking Billions of YouTube Views
A few weeks ago I first saw a web ad that ran something close to, "Know who probably buys clothes? People who watch fashion videos… YouTube Ads work." It struck me as fairly profound, though obvious at the same time, because it rings pretty true. Of course, how true it rings is contingent on people actually watching videos to see those ads — something that's simply not happening (at least as much as it appears) when views are artificially generated. We've covered view inflation and cheating YouTube before — but now, YouTube has accused two of the largest record companies in the world of 'click fraud,' and has 'confiscated' an unprecedented two billion views as a result. Talk about your parent catching you "clicking yourself" under their roof, huh? More »
The Score of 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' with Dan Romer and Director Benh Zeitlin
It's a fairly uncommon thing for a director to score his own films — examples come to mind, to be sure, but it's always interesting to see what comes out of such an arrangement. The director, of course, has a deep understanding of a film's emotional texture. This makes the prospects of what a director-composer may bring to a film truly unique. Beasts of the Southern Wild is one such case, in which co-composer Dan Romer and director Benh Zeitlin worked together to create a simple but emotively articulate score. More »

Audition and Hire Composers for Your Film with scoreAscore
Finding the perfect soundtrack for your film on stock music sites or using music generation software can be infuriating and sometimes seem next to impossible. I mean c'mon… we've all heard Apple Soundtrack's "orchestral swells" or "classic sitcom" canned tracks more than once, haven't we? An amazing sound designer teamed with the perfect composer can give your film a true emotional pull. Resourcing for a talented composer could probably be accomplished through general production job posting sites like Mandy.com or networking sites like Stage 32, but I recently discovered another tailored solution. It's called scoreAscore, a platform designed to help you resource the right composer for your production. Click through for the entertaining and brief intro video (complete with papercraft stop motion!): More »
Weekly Freebie Project: 100% Royalty Free Music Available Every Week from Neumann Films
Luke and the team at Neumann Films are trying to do us a favor. We in the production world aren't used to getting much for free, and that's because we don't — but that doesn't mean the things we do get for free have to be lacking in quality. If you missed Luke's tremendous month of free music in July, don't worry, there's more professional-grade royalty-free totally costless music where that came from — available for download every single week.

Paul Trillo Creates a 360° Panorama with a Canon 7D for the Peach Kings Music Video 'Lonely'
When one of my roommates moved to LA to pursue a full-time screenwriting career, I used the following criteria to choose a new roommate: "which among our applicants is the most talented filmmaker?" Instead of shooting stills of my Brooklyn apartment I had shot a walkthrough video on my RED (it was sitting on my desk so it was actually easier than taking a bunch of photos, but… most overkill apartment video ever!) and so there were a lot of people to choose from. Paul Trillo, it turned out, had seen me speak at the Vimeo festival and I had backed his Kickstarter campaign, even though we'd never met, so the choice was easy. Paul moved in and promptly shot this lovely music video on his Canon 7D: More »
The Dreamy, Hypnotic, Sound-and-Sight Experience of Purity Ring's Live Music Lightshow
NoFilmSchool is, of course, a site for filmmakers, particularly (but not limited to) those of the DIY variety — but we also foster independent creativity. As independent creatives, we're able to draw inspiration from virtually any artistic endeavor, including music. To continue this bit of a break from the barrage of recent news in camera tech, I wanted to share something in that musical vein with you guys. For those of you unfamiliar with the electronic-pop duo Purity Ring, they represent a rather refreshing success story regarding internet popularity and the power of new media — not to mention long-distance collaboration. These are all things which we at the forefront of indie content creation can correlate to both what we do as well as the possible future of how we do it. Also of potential interest to us creatives is Purity Ring's live show. With the help of lighting installation custom-design group Tangible Interaction, the band has crafted a truly special sensory experience to complement — and more fully embody — their unique style of ethereal and euphoric music.

Reinventing the Movie Musical: Recording Live Performances with Tom Hooper's 'Les Misérables'
Academy Award wining director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) is taking an untraditional approach to making a movie musical with his new film, Les Misérables. While musicals will typically go into a sound studio months before to record the singing, Hooper has decided to have his actors actually sing on set, and use that audio the same way one might use recorded dialogue. Click through for a behind-the-scenes look at the film and an explanation of the technique. More »
Get In-Depth with 'The Dark Knight Rises' Sound Design Team (Including Hans Zimmer)
Christopher Nolan's last few films have all had one thing in common: very detailed sound design. Maybe that goes without saying for a large Hollywood film, but the depth and scope of the sound work is what really helps each of his films come together. We've talked about SoundWorks Collection before, when we shared their video for Prometheus, but this time they take a look at the team behind The Dark Knight Rises, including the movie's composer, Hans Zimmer.

What You Do When You Discover the Exact Movie You Are Writing is Coming Out in Four Months
I am currently in the middle of rewriting my latest comedy spec script, C
ountless Melodies (that crossed-out 'o' is not a typo, it's a purposeful omission), a script I haven't shown to a soul yet because it's not ready. It's an idea I've had for several years and I finally got around to writing it this year. It's a college-set comedy that follows an all-male a cappella group, C ountless Melodies, as they try to recapture their former glory to become national champions once again, if they can only defeat their archrivals, the three-time defending champion Blue Belles. It's completely "write-what-you-know" because I was in an all-male a cappella group in college. That's right. I said it. I was in an all-male a cappella group in college — the Johns Hopkins University AllNighters. And we were good, too (at least, back in the day). So imagine my surprise when I surf over to IMDb today and see this trailer on their home page for Pitch Perfect: More »
Five Reasons to Give Away Your Film's Soundtrack for Free
On Feb 1, 2008 Mark Cuban posted to his blog about a far-fetched, impossible-to-execute marketing concept that he desperately wanted film studios to adopt, in order to leverage the value of free giveaways to combat the crumbling theatrical marketplace. Digital was exploding, distribution was becoming a fractured nightmare, and studios were scrambling to adapt.
The idea was staggeringly simple: give away the film's soundtrack for free. More »
Jamendo and FreeSound: Two Awesome Sources for Creative Commons Music and Sound
Sometimes it's an unfortunate reality in filmmaking that you may not have time to work with a musician to score your project, nor to go out with a field recorder to obtain all the sound effects you need. It's at times like these that Jamendo and FreeSound are my CC-licensed lifesavers. Each site offers a substantial catalog of audio media some of which you can use freely with attribution, some of which you can only use non-commercially with attribution, and some which the artist has released to the public domain. Jamendo also has options for relatively reasonable paid licensing for various project types, as well as a handy-looking iPhone app: More »
Rightclearing Makes Music Licensing for Filmmakers Fast and Easy
Whether it's for your short film, feature film, or funny YouTube video, finding and properly licensing music can be a pain. You can either try licensing that classic track, which can be exorbitantly expensive, or if you have a musician willing to license their music, you may have to go through the rigamarole of drawing up legal documents and agreeable terms. Enter rightclearing.com. It's a new service launched by restorm.com that aims to make it easier for musicians to monetize their music — and easier for content creators to find and license that music. Just how easy? Find out in the following video: More »
Vimeo Launches Very Handy Music Store for Finding and Licensing Tunes for Your Videos
This makes so much sense, it's a wonder the other video sharing services haven't done this before (unless they have, and I missed it). Vimeo, home to a world of videomakers and creatives, has launched an easy and fast way to find and license music — legally — for your videos. Tracks start at $0.00 (there are a number of "free for personal use" tracks) and typically fall into two categories: $1.99 for personal licensing, and $98.00 for commercial licensing. More »
What Indie Filmmakers Can Learn from Kanye West
Today saw the iTunes-exclusive album release of Watch the Throne, a collaboration between rap megastars Kanye West and Jay-Z. What does this have to do with independent filmmaking? Good question. Regardless of what kind of music you listen to, I think there are some lessons to be learned from the career arc of Kanye West, as well as the digital-first distribution strategy the duo employed for today's album release. Caution: this post is not going to win any awards for organization or brevity. I'm going to ramble on here: More »

Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N
In his front page post, N. mentions a part of Jon Gold's article in which he discusses that, in practices, we are focusing on teaching our QB's footwork.
In the article, Coach Chow is quoted as blaming the move to the pistol as the culprit in the loss of accuracy in the passing game.
It seems that our QB's, when in the pistol, have sloppy footwork -- which Chow has always seen as a byproduct of running out of gun type formations:
" ... that's why I've always been reluctant to go into the gun, because the footwork gets really lazy. Footwork is real lazy in the gun. I fought it for the longest time, until I realized you can't fight it anymore, because that's all high school teams do. It's huge. It's a big difference. Footwork is very lazy in the gun, but we opted for it, so we have to deal with it now."
(Emphasis added)
That makes a lot of sense to me.
We have QB's, with the exception of Bell, who were recruited to play in our pro set offense.
But, because we had an O line that could not block well enough to open up a running game, we moved to the pistol. Now we can run, but our pro-set quarterbacks are having trouble throwing the ball accurately.
Add to that that our receivers cannot catch catchable balls. Why?
My theory, because we are choosing our receivers based upon how well they can block -- not on how well they can run routes, create separation, catch the ball and run. Don't think that's true? Take a look at how often we've commented about how well our WR's have been blocking downfield on long run plays. That's why they are playing. They can block.
I find a few take aways in the quote.
First, as we all know, we are still dealing with the failure of the previous regime to stock the cupboards with O line talent (and the missions and injuries that are a natural part of the improved recruiting we have been doing). An offensive attack is like any other complex set of relationships -- a failure in one area causes failures in others; and,
Second, CNC is well on top of his game, his clutch has not slipped, he is not out of date -- he is simply trying to use bailing twine and duct tape to pull together what elements we do have to put up the best O possible. Why did we go to the pistol? Because we had to. Had we not, we'd have no running game and probably the same number of sacks we had last year. Obviously, both CRN and CNC knew that there were risks in going to the pistol -- particularly a risk at QB with two candidates who were pro set guys. Actually, KP narrowed the risk. If healthy, he's shown himself to be a good pistol candidate. But, he could not stay healthy long enough for us to take advantage of the new pistol O. RB is a great kid, but he's a bit far from being a pistol QB at this time.
This article makes clear the difficulty, and some times futility, of trying to make a silk purse our of a sow's ear. (My mom used to use that saying all the time.)
Had we continued with last year's offense, there would be people challenging the coaches for being stubborn for not looking to change. They changed. They took a risk. It paid off until KP was injured. And, now, we are sort of in "no man's land".
Bottom Line for Me: In one paragraph, CNC explained why our passing game is not as effective in the pistol as it was last year. I assume he has a lot more one paragraph explanations in him as to other facets of the O. I, for one, don't need to hear them. I respect and trust CNC. He is a fierce competitor and I don't think he takes a back seat to anyone in his desire to win.
And, one more thing: Do we offer ballroom dancing classes for our QB's? Jen is trying out for the UCSD DanceSport team and tells me that it's all about footwork.
