The hi-hat consists of two cymbals that are mounted on a stand one on top of the other and clashed together using a pedal on the stand. A narrow metal shaft or rod runs through both cymbals into a hollow tube and connects to the pedal. The top cymbal is connected to the rod with a clutch, while the bottom cymbal remains stationary resting on the hollow tube. The height of the top-cymbal (open position) is adjustable.
When the foot plate of the pedal is pressed, the top cymbal crashes onto the bottom cymbal (closed hi-hat). When released, the top cymbal returns to its original position above the bottom cymbal (open hi-hat). A tension unit controls the amount of pressure required to lower the top cymbal, and how fast it returns to its open position.
Initial versions of the hi-hat were called clangers, which were small cymbals mounted onto a bass drum rim and struck with an arm on the bass drum pedal. Then came snow shoes, which were two hinged boards with cymbals on the ends that were clashed together. Next was the low-boy or low-hat, similar to a modern hi-hat stand, only with cymbals close to the ground. Hi-hats that were raised and could be played by hand as well as foot may have been developed around 1926 by Barney Walberg of the drum accessory company Walberg and Auge.
Up until the late 1960s, the standard hi-hats were 14 inches, with 13 inches available as a less-common alternative in professional cymbal ranges and smaller sizes down to 12 inches restricted to children's kits. In the early 1970s, hard rock drummers (including Led Zeppelin's John Bonham) began to use 15-inch hi-hats. In the late 1980s, Zildjian released its revolutionary 10-inch Special Recording hats, which were small, heavy hi-hat cymbals intended for close miking either live or recording, and other manufacturers quickly followed. However, in the early to mid-1990s, Paiste offered 8-inch mini hi-hats as part of its Visions series; these were among the world's smallest hi-hats. Starting in the 1980s, a number of manufacturers also experimented with rivets in the lower cymbal. But by the end of the 1990s, the standard size was again 14 inches, with 13 inches a less-common alternative, and smaller hats mainly used for special sounds. Rivets in hi-hats failed to catch on.
Modern hi-hat cymbals are much heavier than modern crash cymbals, reflecting the trend to lighter and thinner crash cymbals as well as to heavier hi-hats. The other change has been that a pair of hi-hat cymbals are no longer necessarily similar. More typically the bottom is now heavier than the top (but in some cases like the K Zildjian Steve Gadd Session Hats the pattern is reversed for a cleaner chick and cleaner sticking), and may also be vented, this being one innovation to have caught on. Some examples are Sabian's Fusion Hats with holes in the bottom of the hi-hat, and the Sabian X-cellerator, Zildjian Master Sound, and Paiste Soundedge. Some drummers even use completely mismatched hi-hats from different cymbal ranges (Zildjian's K/Z hats), of different manufacturers, and even of different sizes (similar to the K Custom Session Hats where the top hat is a sixteenth of an inch smaller than the bottom).
Other recent developments include the X-hat (fixed, closed, or half-open hi-hats) and cable-controlled or remote hi-hats. Sabian introduced the Triple Hi-Hat, designed by Peter Kuppers. In this variation of the hi-hat, the top cymbal moves down and the bottom cymbal moves up simultaneously while the middle cymbal remains stationary.
Drop-clutches are also used to lock and release hi-hats while both feet are in use playing double bass drums.

It can also be played just by lifting and lowering the foot to clash the cymbals together, a style commonly used to accent beats 2 and 4 in jazz music. In rock music, the hi-hats are commonly struck every beat or on beats 1 and 3, while the cymbals are held together. The drummer can control the sound by foot pressure. Less pressure allows the cymbals to rub together more freely, giving both greater sustain and greater volume for accent or crescendo. In shuffle time, a rhythm known as cooking is often employed. To produce this the cymbals are struck twice in rapid succession, being held closed on the first stroke and allowed to open just before the second, then allowed to ring before being closed with a chick to complete the pattern (the cymbals may or not be struck on the chick). A right-handed drummer will normally play the hi-hat pedal with his left foot, and may use one or both drumsticks. The traditional hi-hat rhythms of rock and jazz were produced by crossing the hands over, so the right stick would play the hi-hat while the left played the snare drum below it, but this is not universal. Some top modern drummers like Billy Cobham, Carter Beauford, and Simon Phillips do not cross their hands over at all, playing the hi-hat mounted on the left with the left stick rather than the right. This is called open handed playing. In both rock and jazz, often the drummer will move the same stick pattern between the hi-hat cymbal and the ride cymbal, for example using the hi-hat in the verses and the ride in the chorus of a song, or using the ride to accompany a lead break or other instrumental solo.
Roger Taylor, drummer for the band Queen, plays with many unique hi-hat techniques, including involuntary opening of the hi-hat on every backbeat for a rhythm emphasis and leaving the hi-hat slightly open when hitting the snare. His trademark hi-hat beat is opening the hi-hat on first + and third +. before hitting the snare.
Those playing double bass drums have also developed special techniques for using the hi-hat.
In much hip-hop, the hi-hat is hit with drumsticks in a simple eighth-note pattern, although this playing is usually done by a drum machine or from an old recording from which the sound of a hi-hat is recorded and loaded into a sampler or similar recording-enabled equipment from which it is triggered. Pioneer Kurtis Mantronik was one of the first to program hi-hat patterns that employed thirty-second notes.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Demolition of the flood damaged Hancher Auditorium is underway in Iowa City. Crews began tearing down the University of Iowa building shortly after nine this morning.
"It's a process that will go pretty quickly," said Rod Lehnertz, UI's director of planning design & construction. Crews plan to complete the demolition work by the end of the year.
University of Iowa officials gathered with spectators across the street Monday morning as the wrecking ball stuck Hancher for the first time. Several former and current faculty members looked on as crews first demolished the ticket office area.
Work on a nearby replacement auditorium is currently underway. That building is scheduled to open in 2015. The site of the old Hancher will become green space along the Iowa River.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by CamJoY A Must Have! I purchased this bracelet online in the burgandy color and it's gorgeous! I have tiny wrist so I was afraid it would be too big & bulky on me but it turned out to be the perfect size. The only problem I had with the bracelet was that the opening was small so I had to bend it a little to get it on & after admiring it for a few minutes I noticed it had only 3 of the little silver balls that go around the stone. The 4th one was missing :( As much as I LOVED this bracelet I couldn't see myself paying over 40 bucks (w/the shipping & handling) for a partially defective bravelet so I took it back to the store for a refund. Sadly FP won't be getting anymore in stock so I guess it wasn't meant for me to have one :'( 3.9.2013

Vermont bats struggling against fungal diseaseBy TOM MITCHELL
CORRESPONDENT | February 10,2013Joshua Brown File Photo
Scott Darling, a state biologist, inspects a bat at the Greely Talc Mine in Stockbridge for signs of white-nose syndrome in July 2011.CHESTER Even though the tricolored bat has been added to the states endangered species list, the states bat population still struggles as white-nose syndrome continues to takes a toll on Vermonts most common bat species, the little brown bat.
Brown bats are in winter caves, but many of them are succumbing to weak immune systems caused by the syndrome, which is transmitted by a white fungus.
The disease has stricken common bats, killing the majority of them in hibernation caves over the past four years, Alyssa Bennett, a state wildlife technician, recently told the Chester Conservation Society.
While Vermont caves have been adversely affected, white-nose syndrome has been ravaging bat populations across the East Coast and in other central states as well.
It is in winter when (bats) are in that reduced state, when they cannot fight (the fungus) off very well, she said.
While hibernating, bats breathing, heartbeat and temperature are reduced and their immune defenses are mostly shut off, Bennett said. Once the fungus gets on their bodies, usually from another bat, they wake up which she said upsets the balance of electrolytes in their systems and depletes their fat reserves
Coming out of hibernation too early, in their weakened state, the bats freeze.
The white fungus, geomyces destructans, is visible on the bats snouts and wings in caves and ravages their body tissues.
For several years after the fungus was first found in New York bats in 2006, biologists couldnt say for sure if the white substance was the cause of death in millions of bats nationwide.
We have confirmed the fungus is the cause, Bennett said.
The tricolored bat, also a cave dweller, was the third bat species to be placed on Vermonts endangered list last fall.
One of the smallest bats found in the Northeast, the tricolored with red, brown and yellow colors is also one of the first to go to caves in autumn. In summer, this bat prefers the borders of woods, sleeping in upper parts of trees, often near farmland.
According to Bennett, a key reason for protecting bats like this one is the vast benefit they bring in killing insects. They save the agriculture industry $3.7 billion or more each year nationwide, she said.
The little brown bat, one of the most common American species, and the long-eared bat which has been hardest hit in the Northeast were the first two species put on Vermonts endangered list 1½ years ago, Bennett said. Its now illegal to harm protected bats without a permit.
The disease hasnt killed nearly as many larger bats, such as the big brown bat, a more solitary species with larger nose and teeth which can spend winters in buildings, Bennett said. Bigger bats may have a stronger immune system to fight off the fungus, she said.
White-nose syndrome has consistently taken its worst toll on smaller bats like the little brown bat in winter at caves like the Aeolus caves in East Dorset which are the regions largest winter quarters for bats. Ninety percent of the hundreds of thousands of bats once living there have died.
Researchers have tagged about 100 little brown bats, tracing their movements, Bennett said.
White-nose syndrome has spread south in bat colonies in caves in the Appalachian Mountains, as far south as Tennessee and Alabama. The disease has been found in a total of 19 states, plus four Canadian provinces.
This was the predicted path this disease would spread, Bennett said. (We) didnt think it would spread that far that fast.
In Vermont, Bennett has tallied numbers of surviving little brown bats in summer colonies, verifying that they continue to produce pups or offspring. She said she responds when people call her with reports of bats in buildings, in an effort to help protect the population.
Researchers have found the fungus in soil around bat caves. The fungus seems to prefer the same conditions favored by bats, researchers report. While bats usually catch the fungus from another bat, they can get it from the cave environment also, Bennett said.
Wildlife officials have been guarded about the locations of surviving bat populations. For the safety of the bats, specific locations are federally protected.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

LYNN HAVEN — Shortly after he tapped in his putt on the 18th green to cement a successful defense of his Sherman Invitational title, Chase Seiffert signed his winning scorecard.
With his left hand.
It was symbolic in a way as Seiffert, who plays golf right-handed, basically turned the 86th Sherman into a sleight of hand when the 54-hole amateur golf tournament played to its conclusion Sunday at Panama Country Club.
As in; now you see a four-shot lead, now you don't.
But as it turned out, the ambidextrous Florida State senior knew all along under which shell the championship was located. A three-over-par 75 and total of 214 was enough to win by two strokes over Matt Johnson and Mike Riley, but even the winning margin vastly undermined a monumental struggle.
It began on the first tee Sunday when Seiffert opened with a double bogey on the 446-yard par 4. Incredibly, he duplicated the double bogey on the 387-yard par-4 No. 2.
His comfort zone in shambles, the 22-year-old somehow pulled himself together to play the ensuing 16 holes in one-under-par for his second consecutive Sherman crown.
"My ball was going left, it was just some weird glitch," Seiffert said of his uncharacteristic start. "I didn't let it get to me. Was able to adjust."
Johnson, a two-time Sherman winner who was second last May when Seiffert set a tournament scoring record, started the final round four shots behind Seiffert and immediately picked up two strokes on the first hole. When Johnson bogeyed No.2 he was one behind.
He never could get over the top.
"I was shocked, I almost picked up three on the first hole," Johnson said. "I got it to even (for the tournament) several times, but I just couldn't quite get it in the hole.
"I had every opportunity to win, I gave myself chances. When this sinks in I think I might have a hard time sleeping tonight."
Riley, who coached Seiffert in high school as head coach of the Mosley golf team, was six behind when the final round began. He said his group, that went off in front of the final foursome of Seiffert, Johnson, Brandon Shelley and Dillon Humphrey, was well aware what was unfolding behind them.
"I had a friend texting me," Riley said. "We all knew what was going on."
Somehow Seiffert regrouped, and when he got it to three-under for the tournament by No. 16 had a three-shot lead on Riley and four-shot lead on Johnson.
"It's a positive for me," Seiffert said. "My short game got me around the golf course."
Gusting wind made club selection a factor on a number of holes, those playing downwind as well as those dead into it.
"This was as different a golf course as I've ever played here," Seiffert said. "I just figured I needed pars the final two holes, but on (the par-3) 17 I hit what I thought was a perfect tee shot in the middle of the green and flew the green by 10 yards.
"It was crazy. On some holes you needed two to three clubs extra."
Riley was one-over-par for the tournament when he teed off and said he never got into the red numbers.
"Even (par) was as low as I went," he said. "I had a putt for an eagle that spit out at 14 that I figured I needed to have a chance."
Having survived the Sherman, where he was nine under after 27 holes and seven over the final 27, Seiffert tees off today at Camp Creek to begin the qualifying process for the U.S. Open.
His 13th-ranked FSU golf team will host the South Regional this weekend, and the NCAA nationals begin May 28 outside of Atlanta.
A third straight Sherman title won't be possible for Seiffert, who plans to turn professional sometime in June.

President Barack Obama stands on stage after addressing the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA—When the economy is poor, an incumbent president has few options for reelection. If he looks back, he reminds voters of hardship. If he looks forward, he seems like he's ignoring the problem. His only choice is to defend his record, and hit the other side for unfair attacks. It's not an effective approach—voters don't like it when the president pleads for fairness. Challengers have an easier task. As long as they can identify hardship and propose a plan that looks effective, voters will join their cause.
Yes, the economy is poor, but this is not the scenario faced by President Obama. It's been four years since the most serious economic collapse in eighty years, and the economy is growing. We're creating jobs at a steady clip, and the stock market has bounced back. But, as Bill Clinton pointed out last night, Americans aren't "feeling it." Household incomes are still down, and many are stuck in jobs that can't provide for a family. This is why Mitt Romney has an opening, and this is why most polls show him within a point of the president.
To put this another way, conditions are poor enough to make this a competitive race, but good enough so that Obama is a favorite. And so, if you're on Team Obama, you have one question—how can we build and maintain the president's advantage?
Optimism is the usual approach. The economy, though, isn't good enough for that to work. Besides ringing false, it risks angering those who have grown worse off since Obama took office. However, Obama can't look backwards without giving Romney a chance to make a forward-looking case for growth.
And so, to square this circle, President Obama has taken an unusual approach—he's positioned himself as the challenger. He's not holding the line in hopes it won't break; he's mounting a charge against the other side. Rather than make a full defense of his record, he detailed his plans for the next four years: "a million new manufacturing jobs," smaller oil imports and "600,000 new jobs in natural gas," "100,000 new math and science teachers" and cheaper tuition costs for colleges and universities. The list continues: robust veterans benefits, action on climate change, a simpler tax code with higher taxes on higher earners, a long-term deficit solution, and better health care for seniors through Medicare.
He also takes the time to highlight the extent to which this election is a stark choice between mutually exclusive ideologies. "On every issue, the choice you face won't be just between two candidates or two parties. It will be a choice between two different paths for America. A choice between two fundamentally different visions for the future."
Most incumbents save this kind of detail, and this kind of framing, for the State of the Union. But because surrogates like Bill Clinton spent the convention defending his record, Obama was free to show voters—undecided or otherwise—that he has a plan for moving forward. It's a message geared toward the millions of voters who like Barack Obama, but aren't sure if they should support him for a second term. "We have a plan for progress, and if you want it, you'll stick with us."
Of course, if Obama's the challenger, then there needs to be an incumbent. Obama's focus on the future was complemented with an attack on the past, as represented by Mitt Romney and the Republican Party. "[A]ll they have to offer is the same prescription they've had for the last thirty years: 'Have a surplus? Try a tax cut.' 'Deficit too high? Try another.' 'Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning!'"
(The crowd went wild at this line. In fact, it's hard to overstate the extent to which the delegates were frenzied with excitement.)
It's a smart move. In the Democratic narrative—as presented by Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and others—Mitt Romney is a force for the status quo. It helps that the GOP failed to articulate actual policies at their convention. After three days devoted to "humanizing" Mitt Romney, there wasn't time to offer a compelling vision for the country. With this speech—and this convention—Democrats have filled in the gaps with a simple message: choosing Romney would be an explicit decision to "go back to the failed policies of the past" and return the United States to a time of lost opportunity. Obama's speech ended on a high note. "[I]f you believe in a country where everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules, then I need you to vote this November."
This doesn't soar as high as Obama's 2008 acceptance speech, and in many ways, is reminscisent of the performances he's given on the stump. I wouldn't be surprised if this speech receives ho hum ratings from journalists who have been listening to variations on this for the last six months. But for ordinary people who don't follow politics, this was new information and needed context. Tomorrow, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its August jobs report. A poor one will blunt Obama's momentum, and give Romney a chance to recapture the intiative after a lackluster Republican convention. But projections suggest another month of steady job growth, allowing Obama to end this week on the most positive note possible.
The only thing better would be a substantial convention bounce. Romney didn't receive one, which has led many pundits—including myself—to wonder if the electorate is too polarized to shift allegiences. But this was a strong convention, and if Obama receives a bounce, it will validate the campaigns' approach, and put Obama in a strong position for the final stage of this election.

You say "projections are for another month of steady job growth." That is absurd; 96,000 jobs in August is not "steady" it is terrible. The country needs 150,000 to 200,000 additional jobs each month just to prevent the unemployment rate from increasing. Fortunately, for Obama 368,000 workers dropped out of the labor force and the unemployment rate declined.
Nevertheless, Obama is a failure and you are one biased journalist.
Sat, 2012-09-08 13:50
You and other liberals mention a return to the past. As if that were so bad. I will take Bush's 5% unemployment over Obama's 8% any day. Besides, it was Clinton's insistence that homeownership be increased that led to the current meltdown. It was not the Bush tax cuts or costly wars as the failure Dems try to tell us. Brush up on your economics.
Sun, 2012-09-09 00:40
Most experts agree we have to create at least 250k jobs a month to come out of this economic mess, some say a many as 400k. What Obama tried to do at the convention was create a new normal. Eight percent unemployment, 12 plus percent if you count those whose unemployment has run out, is supposed to be the new acceptable norm for America. Obama offered absolutely no plan or even any desire to improve upon these grim facts. Obama wants us to believe failure is success. The only reason a president would have that goal is if their agenda is to have America fail as a nation. In the somewhat unlikely event Obama wins in November; I believe he will succeed in bringing his agenda to fruition, and we will in fact fail as a nation.

The Lorax had a grand opening which exceeded anyone's expectations for the new film. It opened with a grand total of $70,720,485! It was showcased on a multitude of regular and IMAX screens, with the IMAX screens accounting for 8% of the total weekend revenue. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas opened with $55.1 million. In 2003, The Cat in the Hat opened with $38.3 million. In 2008, Horton Hears a Who! opened with $45 million. This film opened on the birthday of Dr. Seuss, who would have turned 108 this year.
The book starts out with a boy encountering a greedy "Once-ler" to find out why the world is in such bad shape. The book is told from the Once-ler's point of view. The Once-ler told the boy how he had cut down all of the Truffula trees in order to make inventions out of them and sell them for a profit. The orange colored, ecologically conscious Lorax tried to convince the Once-ler not to cut down so many trees. The Once-ler ignores him, and continues to cut the trees down because they are so profitable. Soon, there are no Truffula trees left. The forest is devastated, the Once-ler's business goes bankrupt, and all of the animals of the forest are forced to leave.
All that's left is one small Truffula seed, which the Once-ler gives to the boy, so he can go plant it and start a new Truffula forest.
The movie, however, is slightly different from the book. All of the characters are mostly the same, however, the boy, named Ted in the movie, has a love interest. The desire that his love interest wants to see a real tree serves as his main drive in acquiring knowledge about trees, as the city has none left. His grandmother encourages Ted to visit the Once-ler, who lives outside the city walls, to find out more information about trees. The town mayor, Mr. O'Hare, closely watches any move that the boy makes, and discourages him from going outside of the city walls. The Once-ler eventually gives Ted the last Truffula seed to plant within the city walls in remembrance of Nature. The mayor finds out about this and tries to stop Ted from planting the seed. However, Ted takes an earthmover to ram down a section of the city wall, revealing the horrific landscape beyond. The townspeople defy the mayor and agree to let Ted plant the seed.
Has your family seen The Lorax or read the book? Which do you like better, and why?

Since 2003, "special edition" Corvettes have become somewhat common. Before we go any further, let's define the term. A special-edition Corvette is one that was assigned an official RPO code number, was only available as a package, and was specifically advertised and promoted as a special-edition car. Following the above criteria, and if you include the Indy 500 Pace Car replicas, there were 20 such Corvette models released from 1978 through 2010. Let's take a look at the various anniversary and commemorative edition Corvettes.
In retrospect, it's surprising that it took 25 years for Chevrolet to offer its first special-edition Corvette. Despite all the challenges of car designing in the late '70s, the 25th anniversary of the company's flagship sports car was just too big a milestone to ignore. Corvette designer Jerry Palmer came up with a silver treatment complemented by red stripes. Chevrolet was scheduled to pace the Indy 500, and at the last minute it was decided that the Corvette should do the honors. Suddenly, the Pace Car Vette had all the attention, and the Silver Anniversary model was reduced to a two-tone silver paint option for the bargain price of $399. Between the new fastback roof, 60-series tires, alloy wheels, and special paint, the '78 Anniversary car was one sweet-looking Corvette. Of the 40,274 Corvettes produced that year, 15,283 units had the Anniversary option. A loaded version cost just more than $12,800.
Performance interests aside, the C3 Corvette was a big success from a sales perspective. And as the last of the C3s, the Collector Edition Hatchback option was the proverbial cat's meow. Unlike the '78 Anniversary option, the '82 Collector Edition cost $4,247 on top of the $22,537 base Corvette. The most notable feature was the lifting rear hatch, something that should have been offered years earlier. The complete package included special silver-and-beige paint, decals on the hood and sides, pinstriping, '67-style finned aluminum wheels, a silver-and-beige interior with special emblems, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and horn button, and luxury carpeting. The Cross Fire 350 engine only had 200 hp, and there was no manual-transmission option. Overall, it was a $24,800 beauty that accounted for 6,759 of the 25,407 units sold that year.
Since production was shut down for 1983 to start work on production C4s, there was no 30th Anniversary Corvette. The next milestone came in 1988, for the Corvette's 35th birthday. Like the previous special edition, the 35th Anniversary option consisted of paint and special features, with no performance enhancements, but it was still an excellent package. For $4,795 on top of the $29,489 base price, buyers got a monochromatic white Corvette with a white body molding, a black B-pillar, a dark-blue tinted roof panel, and white, 12-slot wheels. The interior had white leather-trimmed seats, steering wheel, and horn button; a power driver seat; and a console-mounted plaque. Also included on all '88s were electronic air-conditioning controls, a lighted driver's vanity mirror, and rear-window and side-view mirror defoggers. Coupes with the 3.07:1 rear axle came with the 245hp 350 L98 and less-restrictive mufflers. Convertibles and 2.59:1-axle coupes had the 240hp L98 with quieter exhaust. To bring it all together as a worthy GT car, the Z52 suspension package was included. A total of 2,050 35th Anniversary Corvettes were sold, with a maximum price of around $25,600.
For 1993 Chevrolet offered the 40th Anniversary Corvette, nicknamed "Ruby Red" for its unique dark-metallic-red paint. While distinctive-looking, this package wasn't as loaded with extras as the previous anniversary Corvette. As such, it was priced at just $1,455 and was available on all-model Corvettes. Features included special paint, emblems, Ruby Red leather sport seats with anniversary embroidery, a power driver seat, and special wheel centers. The 300hp LT1 was improved to reduce noise on all '93s, but there was no power increase. A maxed-out coupe version cost just over $42,500, while the ZR-1 version was a whopping $74,150. A total of 6,749 units were produced.

Thanks for your interest in College Football Challenge. This year's game has ended.
Please check out the latest ESPN fantasy games on the Fantasy Game Front Page
Construct Your All-America Team
By James Quintong

Oregon's Marcus Mariota scored 45 points against Oregon State.
Are you a fantasy football player looking for another challenge on the weekend? Are you a college football fan looking for another way to enhance your Saturday game-watching experience? Are you a college football fan and a fantasy football player? Then College Football Challenge is for you.
Our long-running college football fantasy experience is back for another season, offering up a major challenge to even the most experienced of fantasy football players.
Each week, you pick a roster of two quarterbacks, two running backs, two wide receivers, a team kicker (you'll get points from a particular team's kicker instead of drafting an actual kicker) and a team defense/special teams. There's no salary cap to worry about; just pick who you think will be the week's best players.
Just like other fantasy football leagues, you'll get points based on their performances. Scoring is very similar to most standard fantasy football leagues (full scoring breakdown can be found here). In some weeks, you'll definitely run into huge individual point totals, given the nature of many college football games.
One interesting wrinkle to this game is that you can decide from which pool of players you wish to draft your team. You can draft from a pool of all 128 FBS teams or you can limit your player pool to one of 10 individual conferences (American, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West, Pac-12, SEC, Sun Belt). You'll have to make that decision when you first register a team, although you could create up to 11 teams: one for all of the FBS teams and one for each of the conferences. In fact, there are prizes awarded not only to the season-long points leader using all the FBS teams but also to the season-long points leader in each of the individual conference games.
It definitely pays to do your homework in putting together your roster. Some of the best fantasy totals each week come from players well off the national radar, and sometimes the Heisman Trophy candidates aren't always the best options. And in some cases, you might even get an early preview of some players' fantasy prowess before they reach the NFL.

Bruce Arena reflects on D.C. United legend Jaime Moreno as he prepares to enter the club's Hall of Tradition
WASHINGTON— Before Saturday's match against the LA Galaxy, D.C. United will honor forward Jaime Moreno.
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena will participate in the ceremony as he led United to MLS Cup titles in 1996 and 1997 while also appearing in the 1998 as the franchise was one of the dominant clubs in the league's early years.
Although Arena has coached a number of talented players during his career, he raves about Moreno.
"Jaime came into the league [in 1996] at 19 years old, was probably the fastest player in the league, technically as good as anyone in the league, and he scored goals," said Arena. "He had the whole package. He really did. For a number of years, he was just a dominant player in MLS.
"I've coached some good players, and he's as good a player as I've coached in this league, and I've been around [Marco] Etcheverry and Moreno and [Eddie] Pope and [Landon] Donovan and [Robbie] Keane and [David] Beckham. He's in that class, no question about it."
But just how did the Galaxy boss spot the D.C. United legend?
"He ran circles around Jeff Agoos [in Bolivia's 1-0 victory over the U.S.] And I was coaching the Olympic team as well at the time. On the bus ride back after the Portugal game at RFK [in July], I was sitting with Sunil Gulati, and I said, 'Let's get him.' And we were able to turn that over kind of quickly.
"And as he would say, I owe my career to him, but I'd say it's the other way, and I'm very disappointed that one of his 50 children aren't named after me," the Galaxy boss said with a joke.
Moreno's induction into the Hall of Tradition may not be the only moment that involves the Bolivian soccer legend as Landon Donovan is just two goals away from one goal from tying Moreno's 134 goals mark, which is second all-time in goals scored.
WASHINGTON – Landon Donovan and the rest of LA's international contingent is back with the LA Galaxy ahead of Saturday's match against D.C. United at RFK Stadium.
Although the hyper-focused Donovan is not letting any of the issues of national team duty come into his thinking as he prepares for Saturday, one of the main talking points of Wednesday's match remains with him—literally. Donovan is still suffering from conjunctivitis in his right eye, which surfaced at some point last week.
The pink eye didn't affect him during his 2-0 victory with the U.S. National Team over Mexico on Wednesday and is unlikely to keep him out of Saturday's game, but the question remains. Just how did it happen?
"I don't know," said Donovan following the team's training session at American University. "I was getting treatment from the trainers and when I opened my eye it was all red. But I'm fine now and ready for the game on Saturday."
Although the eye issue is still prevalent, Donovan doesn't expect that—or any national team hangover—to affect him when LA faces D.C. United.
"I feel great. It's been a really good last week or so. It was a lot of fun for Omar and I to have that experience on Tuesday [against Mexico] and now it's important to put that behind us and move forward. We have a game that we need to get three points out of and that has to be the focus now."
And he expects a stern test from a United side that is currently the league's worst team with just 14 points on the year. In fact, Donovan believes that United are circling this match on their calendar and he feels that LA must be cognizant of that fact.
"They've obviously had a rough year and I'm sure that if odds were made, we'd be the favorites, but this league is built on parity. You never know what could happen," said Donovan. "We know that they'll have a good crowd; we know that they're excited for this game. Outside of their [U.S. Open Cup Final], this will be their biggest game of the season. We expect to get their best and we need to be ready to play."
Any one that has ever spoken to or seen a video clip of Bruce Arena knows that he's a person opinionated and affable person and that truly shines in a Q&A that the LA Galaxy boss did with the Washington Post's Steve Goff on Friday.
Arena addresses a myriad of topics in his discussion with Goff that is mandatory reading for all interested in MLS.

CARSON, Calif. – He won't be taking the field during Saturday's match against D.C. United or any time soon for the LA Galaxy, but one of the Galaxy Academy's highest touted players Raul Mendiola is starting to blossom.
Mendiola started and went 90 minutes during LA's scoreless draw with the Colorado Rapids reserves on Sunday. Known for his skill with the ball and his impressive displays going forward, the 19-year-old put forth perhaps his most mature performance for the Galaxy reserves. In addition to his characteristic ability to make darting runs behind the defense and combine with the forwards, Mendiola performed aptly on defense as he was able to negate Colorado's ability to create along the right side of midfield.
"The hard work pays off. I know that I still have to work on some things, but I did well. I just want to keep working hard," Mendiola told LA Galaxy Insider on Sunday noting that he believes that fitness remains one of the keys to his continued improvement. "I've learned from the veteran guys and I try to learn their positioning, both with the ball and without it. I feel like I'm growing little by little and if I keep patience then I'll continue to grow."
And Galaxy reserve team head coach Curt Onalfo is beginning to see that evolution.
"I thought Mendiola was menacing for a good 60 minutes. He fatigued a little bit, but he impressed me. He made a lot of things happen and you can see his quality in the final third," said Onalfo. "He's turning into a complete player and it's good to see."
Maturity is important for the young midfielder from San Bernadino via Ciudad Juarez, who has trained frequently with the Galaxy first team over the past year. At the start of training camp, Mendiola was not present as LA coaching staff—both at the first team and academy level—noted that they'd like to see more maturity from the youngster and after some personal reflection, Mendiola believes that the personal growth is happening.
"Last year was one of my first times with the first team and it was tough for me to get used to it. Over that period though, I matured a lot," said Mendiola. "I have a mindset and I've talked to my family about my goals of being a professional soccer player, so I have it in my mind that I need to stick to this."
The LA Galaxy spent the day in transit to Washington, D.C. ahead of Saturday's clash with D.C. United at RFK Stadium, but there were plenty of important stories ahead transpiring across the soccer world.
*Former C.F. Monterrey manager Victor Manuel Vucetich was appointed head coach of the Mexican National Team just days after El Tri slipped to fourth in CONCACAF Qualifying with their 2-0 defeat to the United States. Vucetich becomes El Tri's third manager in five days after interim head coach Luis Fernando Tena took over after the dismissal of Jose Manuel De La Torre following Mexico's 1-0 loss to Honduras last week. Vucetich rose to prominence with Monterrey where he was dismissed last month following a slow start to the Apertura only four months after leading Monterrey to their third consecutive CONCACAF Champions League title—which included a semifinal victory over the Galaxy.
*The LA Galaxy's much awaited clash with Seattle Sounders FC is still two matches away, but the Sounders are hoping to have one of their key players on the field against the two-time defending MLS Cup champions. Brad Evans, who was forced to withdraw from the U.S. National Team's World Cup qualifying campaign due to a calf injury, is steadily returning to full fitness according to Seattle head coach Sigi Schmid.
*According to a report by Goal.com, the opening of the San Jose Earthquakes new stadium near Mineta San José International Airport may be delayed until 2015. The Quakes had previously delayed the stadium, which is officially slated to open midway through the 2014 season. If the stadium is delayed, the Galaxy may make two trips to Buck Shaw Stadium next season—provided one of their matches is not held at Stanford Stadium as has been the course of action over the past two seasons. According to the San Jose Mercury News, the Earthquakes declined comment on the report.
Think Mexico will qualify for the World Cup? Hoping for a depleted or full strength Sounders side? Will the Earthquakes new stadium open before 2015?

Giovanni Trapattoni departs as Republic of Ireland manager following World Cup qualifying defeat to Austria
If LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane continues his international career with the Republic of Ireland this October, then he'll do so under a new manager for the first time since 2008.
The Football Association of Ireland announced on Wednesday that head coach Giovanni Trapattoni and his assistant Marco Tardelli had departed by mutual consent. The move comes a day after the Ireland's 1-0 defeat to Austria, which effectively ended their hopes of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The Italian leaves after a successful five-year tenure that saw the Irish qualify for UEFA Euro 2012, their first major international tournament in a decade as he compiled a 26-16-22 record in 64 matches. Trapattoni nearly guided Ireland to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but were defeated by France in a highly-controversial qualification playoff.
Following Ireland's defeat to Austria on Tuesday and prior to the announcement of Trapattoni's departure, Keane was asked about his, now former, international manager.
"It is very difficult for a player just coming off a result and speaking about a manager who has done very, very well for this country," said Keane. "He has been a credit to his country and he has carried himself the way a man of his stature should."
CARSON, Calif. -- The idea of the LA Galaxy fielding a USL team in the near future have been bandied around by club President Chris Klein and Technical Director Jovan Kirovski and on Wednesday, LA head coach Bruce Arena told reporters that the club is hoping to field one in the "next year."
When asked about current NASL loanees Bryan Gaul and Kenney Walker and the issues that come with loaning players to other teams, Arena noted that the possibility of a Galaxy team playing in USL PRO may be happening sooner rather than later.
"We're going to try to do [this] ourselves next year and have our own USL team. We think that a number of our players this year could be benefit like Villarreal, McBean, Sorto, Gaul, Walker, Cochrane, Hoffman. Those type of players when they're not getting consistent minutes, if we have our own USL team then we have the advantage of them going there on a full time basis or moving them back and forth," said Arena, who noted that it would be a separate team from LA's current USL Pro club, the Los Angeles Blues. "The Reserve League still isn't the right mechanism and it's very difficult to do with the schedules and everything else. I think that a separate team, separate league, with more players is the way to go."
Arena stated that programs like this will "be the way that MLS teams go in the future" while also admitting that the logistics were far from sorted out as the yet to be formed team currently has no location and is unlikely to ever play double matches at Galaxy home games.
As previously noted, Klein and Kirovski have both mentioned the idea of the Galaxy fielding such a team with the Galaxy Technical Director hinting during an interview with LA Galaxy Insider back in July that it may be in conjunction with the club's new Galaxy Under-23 team.
"We're looking for a place we can evaluate where our Homegrown college kids and have a training environment for them in the offseason," Kirovski told LA Galaxy Insider. "It's something where we're looking for the possibilities of being a USL team. That means that we could sign kids earlier, it should serve as a stepping stone to our first team.
"We can also have our young academy kids go through there," Kirovski added. "We had some of our U-18's who played last year play [on Tuesday] as well as some of the U-16's, we also had college kids, so it's a chance to for us to keep track of them. It's great for these young kids to have a place to play and maybe, one day, play in our first team."
Kirovski also reiterated this point during his Galaxy All-Access Podcast with Joe Tutino last week.

Landon Donovan, Omar Gonzalez and the U.S. National Team are on their way to Brazil, but LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo and Panama still have plenty of work to do.
Panama drew Honduras 2-2, which allowed the United States to qualify for their seventh consecutive World Cup. Carlo Costly put Honduras up 1-0 in the first half, but Colorado Rapids forward Gabriel Torres equalized in the 50th minute. Los Catrachos went up in the 61st minute off a goal from Wilson Palacios, but Panama tied up the score in stoppage time with a goal from Roberto Chen.
Los Canaleros face a tall order to reach Brazil as they face Mexico at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on Oct. 11 and the already qualified U.S. at home on Oct. 15.

Dos a cero lives.
The U.S. National Team defeated Mexico 2-0 on Tuesday as LA Galaxy forward Landon Donovan assisted on Eddie Johnson's game winner in the 48th minute and scored a goal of his own in the 78th minute. With the scoreline, the U.S. has now defeated El Tri by a 2-0 scoreline in the last four World Cup qualifiers (2002, 2005, 2009).
The U.S. have qualified for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil due to Panama's 2-2 draw with Honduras. This the seventh consecutive World Cup appearance for the Americans.

NEA launches new online network to help educators share ideas and form virtual communities
The National Education Association has launched a free online tool that allows teachers and education support professionals from across the country to share ideas, collaborate on strategies and form professional learning communities.
NEA's Great Public Schools Network provides access to best-of-class educator resources, activities, lessons, webinars and other online resources.
"We've listened to our members, and they've told us they want NEA to focus more on professional issues," NEA Senior Policy Analyst Barbara Frank said. "After they've registered, educators can immediately tie into more than 20 groups on different topics, such as the Common Core State Standards, school safety, school funding, and differentiated learning, among others. And if they don't find a topic that's relevant to them, they can start their own. It's totally organic."
The GPS Network was developed in conjunction with Curriki.org, an award-winning leader in Open Educational Resources, curriculum and communities for educators.
"This kind of network is important because it allows educators to have the power to talk about what we think is important," said Andre Taylor, an art teacher from Ohio who recently signed up for the GPS Network. "Some of the reformers out there may have engaging rhetoric, but they haven't really done much to help out students. This network allows us to draw from our classroom experience to find solutions. If you want change in the classroom, it has to come from the classroom."

WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Wrag Wrap
As Christmas approaches thoughts turn towards some of those traditional decision we face.
Where will I spend Christmas morning? What shall I buy Aunty Gladys this year? What shall I wear to the office party? Will I snog Brenda in accounts (again)?
There's a lot to think about, and wrapping whatever it is you might end up buying Aunty Gladys is potentially one of them.
If you're the average organised lady person, you've probably already chosen your designs, matching labels and tapes. If you're the typical bloke, you'll leave it to the last minute, buy whatever is left in the reduced bin at WHSmith and hope that it'll do.
But if you put a bit more thought into it, regardless of which stereotype you're closer to, you can make the outsides of your Christmas gifts just as special as the insides.
There are many reasons to love wragwrap.com, pointed out yesterday by the irrepressible @caitlinmoran.
One is that it's taken traditional Christmas wrapping and done something wonderful by using fabrics instead of paper. Another is that this about as green as wrapping gifts can get, short of not wrapping them at all.
A real bonus for the aforementioned stereotypical bloke is that these fabrics are easier to use than paper too.
The main reason to love them, though, is that if you use these products, people are likely to be talking about your gifts long after Christmas, simply because this is about the most beautiful way we've seen to give somebody something special.
Buy some today, and really make an impression this Yuletide.
If you have a useful, funny, or just plain weird website that you want to tell us about, drop us a line using our feedback form.

'Did not check what was in the update' - the usual was in the update, kernel, gnome, iptables, iproute, python, firefox, qt, timezones, etc.
So let me get this straight, you ran a system update, did not check up what was actually in this update, just ran with it because it was there. and then they changed something that messed up your system, and it's their fault ?

As far as I'm concerned if an update is pushed to the stable branch of any OS, it's the vendor's problem if it breaks the OS, not the user's. If an update can brake people's systems it should not be offered.
Wasn't aware that I had to do what you told me. sorry to have to tell you this, but this is a discussion forum, you came here to whine that you did a booboo and it was someone else's fault, I'm allowed to tell you it's actually your fault for running a linux distro that's to advanced for you and/or not reading up on changes.
Are you honestly still here? Didn't I tell you to go away?

Unfortunately not. I found one of the problems with the sound control, they've made the icon black so you can't see it, but the other bug with the mouse wheel on it is still present.
I'm a novice Kubuntu user, but maybe you can just reinstall via terminal what they took out...or will this not work?

Not really relevant what the rationalisation for it is tbh, if an update is being pushed that break's people's setups it's the fault of the vendor not the user. You could spend a year preparing for it but if it was broken your preparation is still wasted time.
