Mountain West Preview 2012-13: San Diego State and UNLV fight it out at the top
Oct 16, 2012, 12:00 PM EST
Throughout the month of October, CollegeBasketballTalk will be rolling out our previews for the 2012-2013 season. Check back at 9 a.m. and just after lunch every day, Monday-Friday, for a new preview item.

The Mountain West sent a record four teams to the NCAA tournament in 2011-12, but, despite high expectations, saw only one advance out of the Round of 64 and claimed no Sweet 16 berths.
But the conference is back in 2012-13 with another strong group of contenders. Take a look below at NBCSports.com's Mountain West Preview:
Five Things to Know
1.The top of the conference will be a fight between two teams that should be in the national Top 25 to begin the season, UNLV and San Diego State. The Runnin' Rebels, with their strong recruiting class and returners Mike Moser and Anthony Marshall, will be going toe-to-toe with Jamaal Frankin, Chase Tapley, and the Aztecs down the stretch.
2. New Mexico will have to compensate for the loss of Drew Gordon, who averaged 13.7 points and 11.1 points per game last season, but the Lobos do return Kendall Williams and Tony Snell, who together combined for close to 23 points per game.
3. Colorado State, coming off a run to the NCAA tournament last season, is now without coach Tim Miles, who moved on to take the head coaching spot at Nebraska. Former Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy is now at the helm.
4. Nevada and Fresno State join the conference and begin their first season in the Mountain West. The conference says goodbye to TCU, who meant more to MWC football than basketball, and actually upgrades in basketball with Nevada, who should compete in the middle of the conference.
5. Boise State, we hardly knew ye. The Broncos, who just joined the conference, will be spending their final season in the MWC before heading off to the Big West. Not a big loss for basketball, but football calls the shots at Boise.
Impact Newcomers
Anthony Bennett, Katin Reinhardt, Khem Birch (UNLV)
UNLV got an impressive recruiting haul this off-season, capped off by Bennett's commitment in the spring. Reinhardt, formerly a USC commit, showed his versatility over the summer and should be able to contribute for a team that will be shuffling the cards in its backcourt. Birch becomes eligible in December.
Winston Shepard (San Diego State)
Shepard is the crown jewel of a three-man recruiting class for coach Steve Fisher and the Aztecs. He brings athleticism to an already-athletic team, but can also settle down into the mid-range and hit shots.
Robert Upshaw (Fresno State)
When Frank Martin left Kansas State for South Carolina, Upshaw reopened his recruitment and fell right into Fresno State's lap. He brings size and a big body down low. As a Top-50 recruit, Fresno State grabbed a gem.
Colton Iverson (Colorado State)
The Minnesota transfer becomes eligible this season and brings a big body to a conference where he has a chance to make an impact. He averaged 5.0 points and 5.4 rebounds in his last season with Minnesota.
Marqueze Coleman (Nevada)
Coleman averaged 21.4 points and 6.9 rebounds per game last season for Alemany High School (Calif.) and will have a very good backcourt to learn from at Nevada.
Breakout Players
Michael Lyons (Air Force)
Lyons was a Second Team All-MWC selection last season after averaging 15.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, so perhaps that doesn't make him a breakout player, but he is certainly under the radar. The Falcons will likely remain toward the bottom of the conference in 2012-13, but keep an eye on this senior.
Malik Story and Deonte Burton (Nevada)
This solid backcourt combo gets a shot at proving itself against tougher competition after averaging 14.1 and 14.8 points respectively last season when Nevada was a member of the WAC.
Kevin Olekaibe (Fresno State)
Olekaibe is another player who will get a chance to prove himself against competition in a more difficult conference. He was the second leading scorer in the WAC last season with 17.8 points per game.
Coaching Situation: Lots of Fresh Faces
The Mountain West is a solid split between coaches who have established themselves and coaches who are just getting into the swing of things at their new schools. Eustachy is new at Colorado State and Air Force coach Dave Pilipovich took over in-season after the firing of Jeff Reynolds. Leon Rice is entering his second season at Boise State.
Then there is the other end of the spectrum, which includes Dave Rice and Steve Fisher, who should have their teams competing in March.
Player of the Year: Mike Moser (UNLV)
Moser's decision to return to UNLV gives the Runnin' Rebels a legitimate shot at making noise deep into March. Jamaal Franklin will contend for Player of the Year honors as well, but Moser is NBCSports.com's pick for this season.
All-Conference Team
G Jamaal Franklin (San Diego State)
G Wes Eikmeier (Colorado State)
G Kendall Williams (New Mexico)
F Mike Moser (UNLV)
F Anthony Bennett (UNLV)
Predicted Finish
1. UNLV—Moser, Marshall, and Bennett will have Rebels in the mix in March
2. San Diego State—Franklin and Tapley lead the group, but solid newcomers and transfers supplement the attack
3. New Mexico—Losing Gordon is difficult, but Kendall Williams and Tony Snell should step up for the Lobos
4. Nevada—MWC newcomers will rely on backcourt duo Story and Burton for production after losing frontcourt piece Dario Hunt to graduation
5. Colorado State—Eikmeier is the biggest key for the Rams, who will also be adjusting to adding Larry Eustachy at head coach.
6. Wyoming- Leonard Washington and Luke Martinez return from a team that won 20 games last season.
7. Fresno State—Expect Robert Upshaw to be an immediate contributor, but the former WAC members will likely struggle against tougher competition at the top of the conference.
8. Air Force—The Falcons tied for last in the conference last season and even with another strong year from Lyons, they will likely finish near the bottom again.
9. Boise State—This will be Boise's last season in the MWC and they'll try to make it memorable, but will likely run into difficulties. Their three wins last season came against Air Force, Colorado State, and TCU.

The continental breakfast is a lot better than most places I have stayed at. Definitely a great stay for the price.
We were given another room but had to pack up and move late in the evening which was inconvenient.
Excellent value Great breakfast large comfy room easy freeway access
No complaints
Good sized room.
Rooms were clean, staff was great, good location
Air conditioner did not work
ice machine broken, otherwise perfect. could use more info on Salinas instead of just Monterey
Facing the street, highway - very noisy. Can not keep windows open. Stayed here only because all other hotels were booked or were priced at double the normal rate. It was an event filled weekend. This is a basic, no frills hotel. I would not normally stay at a Quality let alone pay $300 for a low end hotel...however there were no other choices. It is clean...but very basic.
The manager was awesome; very informative about the surrounding area. The bed was super comfortable and the TV had a lot of good channels.
The bathroom floor was a little dirtier than expected and one of the electric outlets was out of the wall- although working.
The room was clean and comfortable.
The receptionist seemed anoyed. Not very friendly at all. It seems that they charged more than what was actually agreed on.
Clean room, staff friendly, room a good size.
towels rough, breakfast bad. air conditioner nosily.
The manager was very nice and helpful. It was in walking distance of several places to eat. The beds were nice and the room was clean, had a fridge and microwave which we needed. Breakfast was nice because it had eggs.
It was over priced that weekend for what I got. The air conditioner was so load when it turned on you couldn't hear the TV. I would have to turn it up and down. Old style TV needs to be updated. The cleaning staff didn't throw away empty cups from tables and left the ironing board and didn't clean out the coffee maker. It was a bit noisy due to be so close to freeway.
Location, Staff and manager were very friendly and helpful.
Furniture and facility a little worn and outdated. Needs an update.
Staff was great. Breakfast was good. Beds were comfortable.
Bathroom had no ventilation. The thermostat in the room didn't work at all so it was very hot.
Mr Patel made our group of 8 feel welcome. Great job on check in. Directed us to a dinner location and on top of that a great breakfast.
Nothing all was good
It was quiet, clean.
Clean, comfortable, quiet room.
Only one ice machine and it was broken.
the bathroom
The price.
Right off the freeway, convenient,
Many prostitues around the hotel, very noisy hotel, lots of stairs, very small breakfast room, had to eat outside, filthy carpeting, tears in carpeting, dusty dirty carpet smell, hairs on towels, no sound insulation in rooms, slept for 1 hour all night, a horrible hotel, I cannot believe it is part of the Quality Inn chain, was worse tham the Hotel 6 hotel next door !
location was okay--noisy from freeway
poor wi-fi service, server kept crashing blow dryer for hair did not work
Room was clean, good bed and pillows. Coffee maker and mini refrigerator in room.
Towels were thin. View was of the freeway. Elevator did not work 1 night and we were on the 3rd Floor.

Recently did the rounds, visiting all the local bike shops (lbs) looking at different road bikes. Eventually visited Yarm Cycles on the recommendation of a friend. Steve and his wife who run the shop could not of helped any more, fantastic advice, not pushy at all, very knowledgeable and have helped me no end with this purchase. Both my friend and I bought bikes from here and I would go back again. Fantastic! Thanks Steve… Read Full Review

I had the opportunity to go to Dana Walsh's studio yesterday evening and work on a new track for a project that's being spear-headed by Felonius Piper (I've already dubbed it the "Trans-Piperian Orchestra"). I can't disclose too much about it at this point, but there will definitely be some heavy hitters involved with this. The real gist of this blog is to note that it was my first opportunity to take my newly customized Fender P-J bass in my session and give it a whirl. Courtesy of Granville Guitars, the bass (known affectionately as 'Red') was just loaded with new EMG pick ups, new wiring, and an 18 volt battery pack. Between Mr. Walsh and myself, we were amazed at how beautifully Red recorded. Essentially, I just opened up both pick ups and the tone knob, and Dana set the predominantly EQ flat. The tone of this bass is just fantastic! I hadn't heard any advance demos of the track itself (a new composition by Pat Buffo), but by "steam rolling" through the tune I had the arrangement down and the bass track within an hour of arriving. This left enough session time for Pat to hit the booth for vocal takes. All in all, we managed to get a lot of work done in a relatively short period of time--in spite of some electrical storm action that hindered us for the better part of an hour. I'm looking forward to the next round of recording; it's always a pleasure to work with pros of this caliber and exciting to put some fresh grooves down. Cheers!
Totally looking forward to laying down bass tracks with Sonny Joe Harlan this Wednesday! Sonny and I played together in Rebel Pride about 10 years ago, and he also did all of the drum tracks on my 2004 recording project that predominantly featured Matt LaPorte. I should hasten to mention he's gained international notoriety as the guitarist for the Murder Junkies. (PS--stay tuned for "Recording News" - Volume 2!)
I worked a trio gig in Bradenton, FL at Motorworks Brewery yesterday; Chris Tripp had texted me a few days earlier to ask if I was available. I leapt at the chance to fill out the weekend calendar, naturally. The line-up consisted of Chris, myself, and DJ Dan from 'Bon Echo'--thus we performed as the Bon Echo Trio (seems I never really know who's performing on the gigs I get these days--I just show up and do my thing). Motorworks is spacious on the inside; very clean and contemporary, and boasts a huge beer garden outside their back doors (gratefully, we performed on the indoor stage where the air conditioning was perfect). As a bit of a beer fanatic, I enjoyed everything I could swig down--most notably a few Bitburgers (the first of those I'd sipped since Bonn, Germany in 2012 with the Jon Oliva's Pain gang), and a Green Goblin cider--but the stand-out for me was Sam Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout (a U.K. brew). That got a Five Star rating from me! The staff was very friendly, upbeat, and super-accommodating. Sadly, I didn't sample of Motorworks' own brews--which gives me a perfect excuse for my next jaunt down there (seems they were quite pleased with our show, so I hope that translates into a return engagement). More info on Motorworks can be found here: http://motorworksbrewing.com/ or via Facebook. If you find yourself heading south over the Skyway Bridge, I strongly recommend making a detour in their direction.
I've decided that I will no longer refer to my 'blog' as a 'blog'--I will refer to these entries as my "Blitchfest." Others may blog--but I will most assuredly continue to blog and bitch simultaneously. This doesn't make me, in any way, shape, or form 'unique'--it just means my blog now has a bitchier/more colorful title! We are now rounding the corner from July into August, and these hot summer doldrums in the Tampa Bay area may subside a little as a result. Happily, I'll be performing with my friends in the band Audio Reign this Friday night at Lenny's in Seffner, FL--and then I will turn my attentions to a duo performance with y longtime partner Chris Tripp for a matinee show on Sunday at the Porpoise Pub in Seminole--which is always a great gig (and thankfully, very close to home--since I always seem to 'over party' whenever I'm in their fin-like clutches). In the meanwhile, rehearsals for the ProgPower XV show with my brothers in Jon Oliva's Pain are at the boiling point--we're still about 6 weeks away from that monolithic concert, and we are brimming with anticipation for hitting the stage there. I personally have my hopes set very high for some tour action on the back end of that show--but only time--and Mr. Oliva's personal schedule--will tell if that is going to be realized. That said, I think the other groovy cats involved are hungry for the same action, so keep your fingers crossed. I know I am...
Wow, July 18th--this would've been Dana Jennings' 53rd birthday. 'Nuff said there, since I wouldn't have any reason to post a blog pertaining to music were it not for my younger brother. As any interested parties will have noted from previous blogs, releasing a CD in the modern world can be a tricky endeavor. Without some kind of promotional 'push' from some kind of 'record label' translates back into the entire 'Do-It-Yourself' nature that facilitated the entire premise behind the "Great Beyond" CD to begin with. I'm certain I've annoyed my share of folks with my incessant advertisements, but that's a part of the necessary juju when putting forth some kind of musical product, in this day and age. Too many times, I've heard friends say things like, "If we only had a record deal, we'd take the world by storm." Well--especially if you're on American soil--guess again. The fact is--it takes a lot of hard work to write an album's worth of material, for most folks. In my own case and defense, not having a 'standing band' may have worked to my detriment as far as the shortfall would be concerned--but NOT having a band was a blessing in disguise, and it afforded producer James Fox and myself a luxury in that the players that recorded--track by track--were the people that actually fit the songs. Now, some admitted 'cons'.... A 'standing band' has the luxury of rehearsing their asses off before making a statement when tracking. This is a huge plus. Bands like Led Zeppelin recorded their first albums in 8 or 9 (prior to mixes/editing) hours as a result of this extension of the 6P rule--"Prior Practice Prevents Piss-Poor Performance." I guess the summation of my long-winded diatribe is this: what I/we achieved on the "Great Beyond" CD boils down to a lot of musically spontaneous combustion. And everyone involved brought a pack of matches to the "Bonfire of the Insanities." Knowing now what hard work writing and recording an album is, start to finish, from a technical level (and getting over the fear of putting your musical/emotional heart into a public forum for others to judge), I would gladly do it again--and I certainly have more songs at the ready. A few blogs back, I wrote about the "learning curve" of the "Brave New Whirl"--i.e., marketing and sales through various websites. I was extremely embarrassed to learn that Reverb Nation had released quite a few CDs with Track #1, "Twisted Carny," appearing twice (back to back) on the CD. That has been rectified--and were I a famous and successful artist I would suggest that you were lucky to receive a 'rare collector's item' of this nature. But instead, as stated prior, I'm a little embarrassed by it. In fact, not to slam Reverb Nation for the other great artist services they provide--I cant figure out how this lameness got past them. Oh, well--stay tuned. It's never less than a 5 star/ 4 ring circus here. I certainly would welcome anyone's wisdom as to how they have circumvented some of the pitfalls of self-promotion with regard to the situations posed above in this blog. Thanks, folks!
The long, hot summer months in west central Florida can certainly take their toll on a soul. Business got slow at my day gig, and as a result I got laid off a few weeks back--left to my devices as a freelance artist and musician, which is a struggle even on its best day. And a conundrum--I should be out hitting the jam sessions in Pinellas County and looking for pick-up gigs, but without the petrol in the gas tank inevitably I'm parked on my ass at home. It's rather depressing, but as a 'career musician' I'm no stranger to adversity or rejection. In the meanwhile, I have my family both on the homefront and in rehearsals with the JOP gang to keep my spirits elevated, and that's a true blessing. And then there's friends like Chris Tripp and Kerry Vallancourt, both of whom flip gigs my way when they come up. Thus, I remain optimistic that things will ultimately get better if I keep my head up and keep on keeping on. I've always known that if you don't stay in the game (even if that translates into warming the bench from time to time), you won't get to play. Period. And a negative "poor me" attitude will garner even less over the long haul. There ain't no cure for the summertime blues, as stated by Eddie Cochran (and later, The Who)--other than picking up my chosen instrument and making that maple neck absorb some serious voodoo. And as Mr. James Marshall Hendrix once observed, "That's all right, I still got my guitar Look out now..."
I'll be teaming up with Chris Tripp again this weekend for more musical fun and games...on Friday, July 4th (that's today, if you hadn't noticed) we'll be hanging at Dixie Dockside in Riverview, FL as part of Tampa Bay Music Network's acoustic showcase. Dixie Dockside is a cool venue perched right on the Alafia River, so if you've never been there and you're in the vicinity I suggest you take advantage of the opportunity to drop in, nab a cold drink, and say hello! Festivities there kick off 5PMish. Sunday, July 6th finds Chris and I bringing the full band (The Bar Code) into the Porpoise Pub in Seminole from 4 to 8PM--so bring your hangover along and seek some fitting liquid remedies from the fine nurses (bar staff) there. Lastly, I wanted to mention that pre-sales are now available for Jon Oliva's Pain t-shirts commemorating our upcoming "Streets - Revisited" concert on September 13 at the ProgPower festival in Atlanta, GA. The concert has been sold out for almost a year in advance, but you can still be a part of the celebration with this super-special t-shirt--which was a collaborative effort on the parts of Mr. Jon Oliva, Mr. Chris Kinder, and myself. This design went through too many inceptions to count in order to make sure it was simply perfect! Lastly--as always--thanks for tuning in to my blog, and CHEERS! Happy Independence Day (here it comes) -- support independent music with a purchase of the "Great Beyond" CD right here on my Reverb Nation page!
This past Friday night, Mrs. J and I pointed "Bubba" toward Zephyrhills, FL for a gig at Jerry's Crystal Bar ("Bubba" is an affectionate nickname for our '98 Mercury Tracer--an abbreviation of sorts for "Dream Bubble"--since dreaming is what generally occurs in that vehicle when Mrs. J is not along for the ride). The Crystal Bar was founded in 1954, so it is ipso facto an historic structure--largely due to having been owned by the same family since its inception. Whilst conversing with our house sound engineer (Bruce, who has been there for 11 years), I was informed that there is only one other business in Zephyrhills (the local hardware store) that shares those 'old timey' credentials--but he also cited the hardware store was on its last leg (no doubt being squeezed out by Lowe's, or Home Depot, or even Walmart). This is the not-so-new vanishing prairie. But I digress... The Crystal Bar had a very nice stage set up, and a standing (Hartke) bass rig (plus drums). The rhythm section (Pat Buffo and myself on this engagement) needed to merely walk in with bass guitar and drum sticks. I met several very cool patrons whilst there, and was taken aback by one of the owners who requested an introduction to me. During the course of our conversation, she explained that they love the musicians who traipse through their doorway--and they take care of them. She suggested I grab a brew--but I told her Mrs. J had one waiting for me at the table. "There are plenty more where that came from," she said. Over all, I'd say we gave them a pretty good show. And when all was said and done, I had no tab whatsoever--which I equate to being a modern miracle since I certainly wasn't shy about bathing myself in Heinekens all night long. Musicians rating: I give this establishment--and their lovely staff--a 25 out of a possible 10. This should be the rule, and not the exception in the regional entertainment market. Cheers, folks!
A big debt of thanks goes out to Tony Corner and Trevor Hazel from Firebrand Rock Radio's "Spins From The Bins" show (www.firebrandrr.co.uk). Not only did they slot me fourth on the show (after Rush, Thin Lizzy, and the Dan Reed Network), but I'm extremely flattered by the high praise I received. To quote Trevor Hazel: "Musicians and music fans in the Tampa Bay area have known Jason Jennings as a solid bassist and consummate sideman for decades. If he's not off shaking the timbers of Europe's festival stages with Jon Oliva's Pain, he's laying down a cool groove somewhere there in the bay area. The new album just released is a great example of the kind of musician's musician he is. It's a collection of solidly composed rockin' tunes that capture his musical sensibilities from years of experience. Each track has its own unique character due to the diverse cast of players he brought in to work with him; local players for whom a record like this is truly a labor of love; the love of music and of a great player whose life's work has and will continue to shine brightly in an already sunny place." I'm looking forward to doing an interview on air upcoming; meanwhile stay tuned in to my blog posts for more news. Cheers, mates!
Yes, indeed--I'm up to my elbows in artwork today; refining backdrop & merch designs for the upcoming Jon Oliva's Pain/ProgPower XV show in September. This is "painstaking" fun! ouch!

Report: Matt Lauer Solely Responsible for Ann Curry Today Show Firingby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Savvy viewers noted it: Ann Curry did not look Matt Lauer in the eye during his farewell speech to her on Curry's final day as The Today Show co-host. She also barely acknowledged his hug.
Now we know why: according to an Us Weekly source, Lauer was "100 percent behind Ann leaving" the morning program after just one year, with the reporters "really icy to each other" in the days leading up to the official ousting.
"She refused to speak to him all week," an insider said of Curry.
Curry has been demoted to foreign correspondent for NBC, while Savannah Guthrie now occupies her chair alongside Lauer.
But it didn't go unnoticed by many that Curry didn't officially introduce Guthrie last week, and on Savannah's first full day as co-host, nary a word was spoken about the woman she replaced.
Somewhere, Conan O'Brien is feeling Curry's pain.
The so-called infectious smile of Savannah can only go so far. Matt took a liking to her at first and pushed NBC to oust Ann. He was a nobody when he first came on the scene and evolved into a big ticket guy over the years and now thinks he is something. The content of your show has reduced to boring and it was not Ann's fault. It was yours NBC with all the boring guests and topics. Maybe the producers need to be fired along with Lauer. Trust me, America is pissed for the treatment you gave Ann. Screw the $10 mill you gave her. You disgraced her on national TV. When Meredith left you killed the fatted calf with dancing and song and drama with a musical flair but with Ann, it was a "see ya!" So I say to you NBC. SEE YA!!!
Get rid of Matt Lauer!!!! Ann was a very professional television host. We will not watch his morning show any more. This is sad. Good luck, Ann Currey.
Why not Hota and Kathy. Ann was a class act and a wonderful humane type person. Such a caring person NBC will never see again!!!!! It was hard to see Ann say she was leaving and not through any fault of her own. Ann did not want to leave. Ratings down....ok...but I think NBC screwed up by taking Ann off and Savana will never measure up to her! Shame on you NBC and shame on you Matt. Have not decided to quit watching NBC because I still think a lot of Al and care for Matt in spite of what I'm hearing about him being responsible for Ann's leaving. May still end up with Good Morning America.
I don't watch Today anymore. Really, Matt is the one who should have been ousted. He seems to think he knows people, but doesn't have one ounce the personality that Ann Curry has.
It is sad to see Ann leave, especially as seen by the audience. Sometimes I do question the producers of the program...not only with their co-hosts selections, but the content of their program. My husband changes the channel because it says it's too much celebrity and not enough information about the things in life that really matter.
NBC is a hellhole . Matt like George @ GMA is despicable.CBS is my new focus and NBC is history. Thanks Ann Curry for your sterling work and keep your head high. You are a class act .
Matt is despicable and NBC is a ''hellhole'' A great fit . After 29 years of viewing ''TODAY'' I have turned my focus to ''CBS''. George @ GMA is a loser like Matt. Backstabbers like Matt and George are a disgrace to the ''Prime Time''!!
well- a few days have bitten the dust-to bad wonder matt did not go along for the ride he sent ann on. the station is now not watched in our home, my patient's homes and anywhere else i have control of the tv. here is an idea-send matt off and bring ann back-this time being observed and appreciated for the class she has. oh wait- drinking kathi lee and her partner, matt and his huge ego..u have no class nor the ability to acquire any. good bye
NBC, The Today Show and Steve Capus have to acknowledge the fury they have cause loyal show viewers who are no longer watching the morning show and have switched to GMA out of love and support to Ann Curry. Ann is a capable, honest, real human being who didn't deserve the horrible treatment shown her. Matt Lauer is a snake and poor Savannah is no replacement for Ann or any other reporter. Before NBC deletes all the negative Today Show - NBC posts, take a look at all the support for Ann and hate for the show and PTB. It says it all.

Edit Diello beat me to it slightly..
But that is point what ever you think it is NOT about our jobs as that argument won't work and all we will been seen as is techies trying to safe guard jobs.
As was said I think Tony is playing devils advocate as someone from PSF will be coming up with these arguments and unless you got good response then already lost.
As for jobs the biggest issue is people burying head in the sand and thinking that somehow status quo can be kept (that is not going to happen unless politics intervenes).
Problem is people think I will wait till BSF comes and then work out what going to do. But reality is you need to be thinking about your career now and sorry to bring that old term up make sure if want to stay in education ict that your educational focused (that is not code word for becoing TA by the way).
I have been planning what I am going to do when BSF comes to us (2012/2013 approx) for past 2 years and will carry on till no longer an issue or it is 2012.
Last edited by russdev; 12th March 2008 at 04:14 PM.
I'm not saying it be used as an excuse for why we oppose BSF. I'm just trying to say that to tell someone to calm down and not get worked up is not going to work when you take into consideration the underlying factors (job loss/uncertainty).
I don't want people to say 'I hate BSF because I'll have no job,' but we must still have an interest in our own future.
Sorry I wasn't trying to have a go or anything, I know the point you were making.
I respect Tony (Grumbledook) for the line he is taking; I don't always agree with him, but that's how life is sometimes, I am certain people don't always agree with me!
The views Tony expresses are representative of the sorts of answers we will all get from BSF Consultants and Partnership for Schools in defence of the BSF program so you might as well get used to it. Whether Tony agrees with them personally or not is down to his own conscience but someone needs to play devils advocate here and Tony does so eloquantly.
The reality is right now it is too early in the BSF life-cycle for most schools to say if the managed service will work for them or not. I suspect that for some schools it will, for others it will not. What is important is that everyone be as well informed as they can be, and ensure they get involved in the BSF process at their school/LA as early as they can, if they are allowed to do so.
We aren't going to stop BSF dead in its tracks. The first few waves of schools will go down the managed services route; depending upon the lessons learned later waves may end up doing things differently, time will tell. Even in the first few waves there are variations in the BSF model emerging, some with more LA involvement, some with less.
A couple of years ago at the start of BSF, Partnership for Schools was adamant that the solution for all schools was centralised server farms, remote network management, with a single technician onsite to replace toner; things have moved on since then, schools & LAs are being more successful in arguing the case for more local support.
On a positive note, I suspect some of the consortia bidding for BSF contracts across England are now beginning to realise school ICT is not as simple and as straight forward as they originally thought. I believe we will see more cracks appearing with maybe a few more of the bidders pulling out ....
This idea is to get the average person onside to try and stop the BSF forcing Managed Services ..
Yet Tony gives these people who would never have thought of the information he supplies the information to query us and as they say Information is Power
It then becames difficult to constantly bash the MSP's when you actually here what they have to say and what their proposals are first hand....instead of the heresay and smoke and mirrors that seems to be everyone elses experience. So no doubt he has to do the fence sitting because BSF isn't going away and it's better to keep an open mind so as to be able to negotiate better deals instead of a purely obstinate approach.
At the end of the day not everyones experience is going to be the same, and no doubt there are some people for whom the whole experience won't turn into the apocalyptic scenario you endlessly describe.
it's not about negotiating deals with MSPs.. ITS ABOUT GETTING THE PUBLIC TO SEE THE BAD SIDE OF BSF OUTSOUCING IN SCHOOLS THAT HAVE GOOD ICT...
So having someone bigging up the outsourcing is not a good thing.... why he's doing it I have no idea..
and if you look at this forum you'll see why you were dozing in your server room having an afternoon nap I was trying to get this forum up and started because most people act like you.. people who really couldn't care less
Yes and the average person uses the information given to them or at hand.. if they have limited information then they make decisions on that...
If they have an intelligent person feeding them harmful (to us) informatoin then they will use that...
I have information to hand that can cause a lot of damage and harm to a certain group.... yet I choose to remain silent so no damage is caused... or I could open my big mouth and play devils advocate and ruin them...

What GD is doing is being a "Critical Friend". He's pointing out the arguments that private companies will use against us, showing us where our weak spots are so we can tighten up our case against managed services. I honestly don't believe he's setting us up for a fall. Much better to have this brought to our attention now than not have an answer when push comes to shove. If GD really wanted to screw us up then surely he'd sit back and say nothing while we took our partially formed argument to "the public".
Nobody is right 100% of the time. We all get things wrong. So rather than bring an ill-prepared argument to the table because we get upset when someone, a friend, points out a flaw in our case, let's benefit from what GD is saying and sharpen our case. Be rational even though the stakes are so high, because losing your temper in an argument might make you feel good for a while, but if the result is you lose the case, what are you left with?
Work with the grain.
conehead (17th March 2008)
Yes, in this conversation I am purely playing the Devil's Advocate.
No matter how much I think will be good for some schools, I know it will be a disaster to so many others, and even in the schools that it would be god for there will be a backwards step in a number of areas.
Please note that my definition of good vastly differs to that of others. Yes, I am senior manglement. My primary concern is that ICT has a positive impact on the learning that takes place in the school, and the positive impact can be measured by an increase in achievement and attainment of students, a reduction in absence (authorised and unauthorised) and the improvement of leadership within the school at all levels. I have held these views for the last 8 years since I started getting involved in more than just the box on the desk, being influenced by a number of people who truly are innovative (a fair few of them are lurkers on here!), and it is good to see that the above are the same base criteria that PfS and Becta use too. Believe me, it is not a coincidence. The same people who have influenced me have influenced others.
Yes, there are hard decisions to be made about a choice between choosing the right technology and methodology, or what can be afforded, implemented and used correctly. n some schools this is a big difference, in others not so big a difference, but a difference nonetheless.
A lot of the arguements and concerns raised are valid. However, they are not coaxed in te right language, aimed at the right people or supported by the right groups. The two largest factors in this is that most of us have limited experience on educational leadership, giving us the ability to says what is making a difference. The other factor is that we have no true measurement about how good we are and the impact we have. If we can deal with these then people will take it more seriously.
*Even then* there may not be anything that we, either individually within our schools or collectively as a group, can do about it as some of this is school, LA or Govt politics.
I will continue playing Devil's Advocate until someone else picks up the reins ... and then I will challenge *their* views. I've always found that the best way of learning to battle someone is to learn how they themselves fight. For those Terry Pratchett fans ... just think about Thud.
To be honest folks I can understand why Grommit is narked. The thread is meant to be about taking a look at the other, perhaps nastier, side of BSF. Looking at the problems it caused rather than to solutions it claims to offer.
I can also understand why many would be frustrated that I defend it, but mainly do so when they attack it. The BSF bidders will not come onto the site and defend themselves as that is commercial suicide. Govt agencies will not come on and defend themselves because that is political suicide. Instead I can only feed back from conversation had, reports from meetings in other areas ... and try not to use hearsay (not the manufactured pop group ... but unverified information heard or received from another).
Given a chance I would like to take the other stance for a change.
I also have to apologies to the group in general as work commitments have prevented me so far from sorting out meetings with other bidders. I would like to do more of that sort of thing, to go to their offices and challenge them in person, but it is done in my own time (as it was for those others at the RM meeting) and is difficult to fit in. Should the opportunity arise for more meetings to take place then I would prefer to have a combination of those that want to challenge the status quo as well as those that believe that we need to work with them, but change their direction.
No offence here... I understand the rational of the thread but this doesn't make the arguments on the other side any less true..
The point isn't to sit and go "Oooooh, bad!" and then let that lie so the tabloid idiots (sorry but they are!) can grab the most sensationalist rubbish from the lot to create a little more sales... it's to take a long hard but rational look at the arguments and then point out the holes.
If we talk like a bunch of stereotypical old women we'll get treated as such and if nought else GD (names changed to indite the guilty) provides the sort of counter argument that's required to refine our own points regarding the down side to BSF. He's not writing their PR so let's not treat him or any other authors of positives as "traitors". That's just plain dumb.

DB? No .. I'm GD ... he is God, I am just a poor minion, slaving over a stand at BETT and nicking lots of pizza.
i think you're the one getting the wrong end of the stick...i was just trying to reason as to why GD is playing 'devil's advocate'.....
but he's big enough and ugly enough to articulate his position without my interjection. As he has done on numerous occasions. Looks like you're the one who's been snoozing while he's posted numerous posts in previous threads in a similar vein.
I do accept you're point about the point of this thread, particularly as the most of the internet articles paint a bright, rosy future for BSF managed IT. Most of it lazy journalism and I agree it's important to redress the balance in favour of pointing out the pitfalls and dangers of bsf managed IT.

7-year-old cyclist injured after being struck by car
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded around 4:13 p.m. to the home on Gagne Street, which is near River Street, after a 2005 Honda Accord driven by Cynthia Lewis, 54, of 7a Gagne St. struck the boy who was riding his bike across the end of the driveway.
"A woman was backing up into a driveway when she saw a flash of light," Fire Capt. Mark Avery said, adding the boy was not wearing any protective equipment, such as a helmet or reflective clothing.
Avery said paramedics transported the boy to Frisbie Memorial Hospital.
Sgt. Patrick Emerson said the boy was not riding his bike with a parent or sibling. He was counseled about the proper place to ride his bicycle.
"The proper place for a bicycle would be on the roadway as far to the edge as possible given the circumstances and riding with the flow of traffic," Emerson said.
No charges are forthcoming and the investigation is complete, according to Emerson.
Police encourage all bicyclists to wear helmets and to obey all applicable laws pertaining to the operation of bicycles on the roadway.

I'm trying to set up RSpec, Capybara & Selenium to test a PHP application running on the traditional localhost:80. Whenever I run the suite, Selenium fails and complains about a malformed URI.
Here's my spec_helper.rb.

require 'capybara/rspec'
Capybara.server_port = 80
Capybara.app_host = 'http://localhost'
Capybara.run_server = false

describe "visting the website", :type => :request do
it "should display an html page" do
visit ( '/' )
page.should have_selector( 'html' )
But it bails. What am I missing?
1) visting the website should display an html page
Failure/Error: visit ( '/' )
Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIIOService.newURI]

My URI doesn't look malformed to me...
visit works if I pass in 'http://localhost' but that's not ideal.
Here's my Gemfile for good measure

Common Core State Standard
SL.CCS.1/2/3/4 Grades 6-12: An essay of a current news event is provided for discussion to encourage participation, but also inspire the use of evidence to support logical claims using the main ideas of the article. Students must analyze background information provided about a current event within the news, draw out the main ideas and key details, and review different opinions on the issue. Then, students should present their own claims using facts and analysis for support.
Look what's cooking: A better food oil
Food information is spread throughout the paper, as with other topics that involve public policy, health, business, science and even ads. Have students work up an appetite by finding at least two examples of recent food-related coverage or nutrition information from advertisers.
Nutrition is about choices, not what's "right" and "wrong." Using the fresh examples they just found, or the trans fat issue, ask class members how they evaluate different viewpoints presented. See if they can identify ways that journalists help readers understand unfamiliar details.
Reporters and headline writers sometimes add a playful touch to coverage of food and other lifestyle subjects with colorful words, puns or ad slogan references. Challenge pupils to spot a lighthearted approach anywhere in the newspaper.
Restaurant chefs, packaged food makers and health officials are helping us eat more healthfully, without missing crispy, crunchy, tasty treats such as fries and chips. Even fast food chains are joining a trend toward reducing or eliminating a saturated fat called trans fatty acid -- or trans fat. Cooking oils with trans fat pose a major risk of high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes, nutrition experts say.
A federal agency now requires labels on packaged food to list trans fat content, which nudged many companies to drop the ingredient from frozen dinners, crackers, cookies and other items. Proposals in New York, Chicago and other cities would ban restaurants from using such oils.
Two weeks ago, Kentucky Fried Chicken announced that it will deep-fry most menu choices without trans fat. Soybean oil is used as a more-healthful alternative in "finger lickin' good" items. Wendy's last summer began cooking French fries and breaded chicken with oil free of trans fat. Pizza Hut and Taco Bell plan a similar shift, adding pressure on McDonald's, Burger King and other chains to get with the program.
Expert says: "Trans fat has become box-office poison in the food world. It is the guest you really want to leave." -- Keith Ayoob, nutrition specialist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
Labeling rule: Food makers must list trans fats on products with 0.5 grams or more of the unhealthy oil. That Food and Drug Administration requirement began this year.
Eat wisely: Read nutrition labels to pick products with lower saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol. Choose foods that are as fresh and as close to natural as possible -– such as an apple, not a deep-fried apple pie from a fast-foot place.

Elmhurst couple in murder-suicide were doting parents: neighbors

Four family members were found shot to death Saturday evening in their home in west suburban Elmhurst, police said. | Brian Slodysko/Sun-Times

A day after an elderly couple and their developmentally disabled adult children were found shot to death inside their Elmhurst home, four white crosses bearing their names lined a fence outside the well-maintained house on a quiet side street.
DuPage County Coroner Richard Jorgensen said preliminary results from autospies Sunday showed they died in a murder-suicide. He said Francis Stack, 82, fatally shot his wife, Joan, 82, and their children — Francis Jr., 48, and Mary, 57, — before turning the gun on himself. All four were shot in the head.
Elmhurst Police went to the home about 6:45 p.m. Saturday for a well-being check after learning that Francis Stack told a friend that he was going to shoot his family and himself, police said in a news release Sunday evening.
Two doors down from the Stack home, neighbors on Sunday commiserated on the back porch of Peggy Babyar, a retired school teacher who had known the family for over 30 years.
Babyar reiterated what many other neighbors said: Francis "Frank" Stack, wrestling with his own mortality, was worried about what would happen to his kids.
"This was an act of love. There's no question on any of our minds that he just loved his family," Babyar said, choking back tears. "As horrible as it sounds, it came out of love for his kids."
Throughout the afternoon Sunday, walkers and bicyclists looked at the Stack house as they passed. Cars slowed as they drove by.
A family pulled up in an SUV. They got out and placed flowers at the base of the crosses. The father placed the Stacks' unclaimed newspaper on the front porch.
Longtime neighbors say Joan and Frank Stack were loving and doting parents who cared for their developmentally challenged adult children well into their own old age.
The children primarily lived in assisted care facilities but frequently visited on the weekends. Neighbors said Frank Stack still cut his son's hair.
"They were good people. They were so good to those kids," said Jane Bock, 89, who had known the Stack family since they moved to the neighborhood in the 1950s. "That was their life. It was built around those kids."
Joan Stack recently began receiving home hospice care and Frank Stack had been having difficulty getting around, relying on a cane, Bock said. And the fate that would befall their son and daughter had been weighing on Frank Stack, Bock said.
"Anybody reading the news is going to think, 'What kind of man is that?' That's the first thing anybody thinks," Bock said. "If you were in their shoes, would you do the same thing possibly?"
For decades, Francis Jr. and Mary Stack received services, including housing, from the Ray Graham Association for the Handicapped, said Kim Zoeller, president and CEO of the organization.
"The family was very involved and continued to be very involved. They were a very dedicated family to their children," Zoeller said. "We are all very shocked and very sad about what has transpired."
Zoeller said she could not speak in-depth about the specifics of the care that the Stack siblings received from the organization. But, in general, she said people with disabilities such as theirs qualify for government assistance that helps pay for their care.
She said both siblings lived in Ray Graham Association housing but were able to visit the family's Elmhurst home.
Al Watson, another longtime neighbor, said the Stacks had two other daughters who are not developmentally disabled. Those daughters used to baby-sit his children, who are now in their 50s, he said.
In an emailed statement on Monday, a representative of the family wrote: "Frank and Joan Stack will be remembered for an unwavering commitment to and love for their family and will be deeply missed by their 2 daughters, 2 sons-in-law, 5 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
"While they led very difficult lives that were increasingly difficult over the last several years, their family will cherish many years of wonderful memories with Frank, Joan, Mary and Frank Jr. Their family appreciates the outpouring of love and support from extended family, committed caretakers, neighbors, the Ray Graham Association, and greater Elmhurst community in recent days," the statement said.
Watson said the Stacks were great neighbors and often the first to greet new people who moved to the block.
"If you had a problem you'd come over and talk to him and he could help you with anything — especially if it was electrical," said Watson, who noted Frank Stack had worked for ComEd. "It's a very difficult situation."
Bock said she would be dead if it weren't for Frank Stack. In 2004, she had an adverse reaction to a medication and slipped into a coma. Her out-of-state daughters couldn't reach her by phone and called Frank Stack, who had a key to her home, she said.
He found her unresponsive on her couch and had Joan Stack call an ambulance, she said. If he hadn't checked on her, she would have died within hours, Bock said.
"They were good people. It's terrible what happened, but they had a hard life," Bock said.

The Better Business Bureau has named the top 10 scams for 2010. Some are surprising, especially since they've been around for so long and people are still falling for them.
Here are a few highlights:
• Job-hunting scams. What the scammers really want is your Social Security number and personal information such as your bank account number.

While prices of just about everything have skyrocketed over the past 10 years, one thing that has remained about the same is the economical value of playing golf in Roane County.
This Sunshine Week, a time when we reflect on the public's right to know and the importance of open government, isn't it time to address the Pandora's box left open by the U.S. Supreme Court last year?
In two landmark decisions — Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission and, subsequently, Speech Now v. Federal Election Commission — the Supreme Court radically altered longstanding campaign finance disclosure requirements.
That noble document, the Constitution of the United States, is ofttimes praised and supposedly relied upon by the rabid, radical, right-wing, reactionary Republicans, yet, how often they do go on ad nauseam about some action they propose which is plainly and specifically outlawed by the said Constitution.
Take for instance the issuance of currency.
Article One, Section Eight, Clause Five, vests in the Congress the power to coin money.
And, Article One, Section Ten, Clause One, forbids any state from coining money or emitting bills of credit.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) -- Officials in Maryland are holding their 25th annual memorial services for crime victims and their families.

Each memorial service will include musical performances and speakers. And family members and volunteer advocates will read the names of over 2,000 people who have been the victims of crimes including murder and vehicular manslaughter. Each ceremony will also include a memorial wall where families can hang up photos of their loved ones.
