Bands That You Never Gave a Chance
My personal confessions are less about what I enjoy that would shred my credibility through a wood chipper and more about which bands I used to despise that I'd never talk shit about today. Namely, I used to really hate System of a Down, Iron Maiden, Behemoth and Chimaira. After only hearing a handful of songs from each, I decided that all were overrated before actually giving their discography a real chance.
Holy shit did I regret that later on after listening to Chimaira's self-titled album, Iron Maiden's "Powerslave", "Zos Kia Cultus," and the entirety of "Toxicity" (although I still maintain that "Chop Suey" has always been overrated and overplayed and I'm not a fan of the title track on "Resurrection").
It's hard to look at yourself after talking shit about music that you were completely ignorant about. Eventually, I moved on to "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son," "Resurrection," and "Steal This Album" and realized that I was talking out my ass and sounded like one of those guys who calls eurodance "techno" but has never listened to speedcore or confuses hip-hop with R&B.

American Standards Splits With Drummer / Guitarist
Arizona's American Standards has posted the following announcement online about lineup changes:
"It's with mixed emotions that we announce the departure of both our drummer Geoff and guitarist Brennen. Both have been with American Standards since its inception. They leave on a good note with the reason that they're at different points in their lives with different priorities then when the band started. We wish them the best of luck and look forward to any future projects.
"With that being said, their last show will be our EP release September 14th at Havana Cabana (formerly Rocky Point Cantina). You can expect a new single and video from the EP early August.
"Going forward we've been fortunate enough to pick up the very talented Craig Burch (The Last March Of The Ents) and Mike Cook (Your Young/The Author) to fill their spots.
"With these new members we've already began writing a follow up full length album due out early 2014. As a decision by the band, we plan to release this album without backing from We Are Triumphant due to disagreements in artist development and vision. Still Life and the respective merchandise will continue to be available through Victory Records.
"We'll continue to play all booked dates as well as have several tour announcements in the near future. As always, we thank everyone for their continued support."

Serianna Finishes New Album
Serianna just wrapped up time in studio for new album "Define Me" with producer Josh Schroeder, who is responsible for new albums from For Today and The Color Morale.
The 13 song album "Define Me" will be released on August 13th, 2013via Bullet Tooth through Ingrooves/Fontana. The first music video for "Exist To Outlive" will premiere on VEVO this July and the band kicks off a U.S. tour with In Dying Arms on August 6th.
Guitarist and songwriter Kris Meyer-Ruef commented on the new album: "The Inheritors record was almost 3 years in the making by the time we had the pleasure of releasing it on Bullet Tooth. It seems only natural that at least 4 years since the birth of that record, Serianna is due for serious growth. Over the past year, we have gone through a major line up change and thought hard about the future of our band. It was pretty apparent to any fan of our band before that we were heavily rooted in metal core, influenced by the bands that could riff the tightest and fastest. We operated like a well oiled machine, tight and uniform. But that was just the problem: we operated like a machine. This new record has given us all the opportunity to pour our hearts into our music in a way that we felt was impossible before. Every one of us has a voice, and you will hear that through every song on this record. We went heavier, groovier, darker and more honest. I know deep down that kids are still looking for something real to fall in love with. We genuinely believe these songs are just that." More...
Old Wounds Gearing Up For New Live Shows
With over 70 shows booked so far in 2013, New Jersey trio Old Wounds continues its reign of terror this summer with another U.S. tour, this one focusing heavily on the western half of the country.
The centerpiece of the tour is a coveted slot on The Power of the Riff Festival in Los Angeles, alongside The Obsessed, Final Conflict, From Ashes Rise, and more. Other dates see Old Wounds play with bands such as Every Time I Die, Terror, and KEN Mode.
The tour coincides with the release of Old Wounds' new split seven-inch with upstate New York's Trenchfoot, out August 13th on Melotov Records. The following press release was also issued:
"Two of the East Coast's most ferocious young hardcore bands, Old Wounds and Trenchfoot are like-minded outfits breathing new life into the crushing metallic vibes of their older brothers' generation. While Old Wounds nod to the exhilarating charge of crushers like Buried Alive and Turmoil, Trenchfoot play an even darker game, in line with the depressive anthems of Tragedy or Cursed. Both bands' material for the Melotov split was recorded by Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations (Pulling Teeth, Full of Hell). Melotov releases the split August 13th on vinyl and as a digital download." More...

Lycus Streaming Full New Album

"With a honed, masterful approach to their songwriting and delivery, Lycus seemingly adds new vitality to the funeral doom genre with Tempest, the album's three expansive tracks consuming nearly forty-two minutes of your soul with each listen.
"Recorded and mixed at hometown Earhammer Studios with Greg Wilkinson (Brainoil, Pallbearer, Samothrace, High On Fire), the album is literally drowning in an ocean-sized pool of incredibly descriptive accolades from media outlets.
"While references to Mournful Congregation, Ahab, Thergothon, Noothgrush and My Dying Bride are inevitable, Lycus deliver both caustic and clean riffs and interject multiple vocal styles and additional instrumentation which elevate the material on Tempest to their own place among the scene's veterans and forerunners."

Ne Obliviscaris Track Added To Music Curriculum
Australian visionary metal act Ne Oblivscaris, which was nominated as one of the best newcomers of 2012 in our annual awards, has now seen the song "And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope" included in a teaching curriculum at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
The song will undergo a compositional analysis by Professor Matthew Hindson, Chair of Composition at the Conservatorium. Matthew Hindson is a classical composer whose works have been performed by ensembles and orchestras throughout the world. His recent ballet music, for example, has been presented by such companies as the Birmingham Royal Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet and the National Ballet of Japan.
Professor Hindson commented on the event, saying: "I will be presenting 'And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope' to the composition students at the Conservatorium next semester as an exemplar in structure, mixing timbres, meters, modes, how to approach virtuosity, sound and noise, extended performance and techniques. The students will need to study 2 technical aspects of what Ne Obliviscaris have done in their music, and then use these techniques in their own classical music compositions."
The Professor continues: "It is my pleasure to introduce such high quality music making to our students, alongside other music by composers including Beethoven, Gershwin, Steve Reich and Peter Sculthorpe. Musicians deserve to hear the music of Ne Obliviscaris, and the music of many other metal bands, in order to appreciate the compositional complexity that lies within it, no matter what their musical tastes."

Arvas Splits With Drummer
Norwegian act Arvas recently signed with Aeternus Tenebrarum Music Foundation for the release of the "Into The Realm Of The Occult" album later this year. Now the band has also checked in with the following announcement about parting ways with drummer Fordervelse:
"Fordervelse is no longer a part of the band... Now, I guess one wonders why I came to this conclusion, to 'fire' a long time friend and partner. Well there are reasons for everything, and there are facts to the matter one simply don't want to share with everyone simply because they are supposed to stay between the involved parties.
"This is between Fordervelse and I and of course it is tragic and sad, for the band and for him, and even for me. I see no reason to comment this matter any further. I wish him good luck in future projects he may join in on and so forth.
"As for Arvas now, I will go on, the two next album releases will be released as scheduled under the ATMF banner. Arvas will also continue to play live sooner or later!"

Gallows Pole Details New Album
Austrian metal act Gallows Pole announced that the band will release its seventh album "And Time Stood Still" on July 26, 2013 through Pure Rock Records (a division of Pure Steel Records).
In the 80's, there were some Austrian bands like No Bros, Speed Limit and Gallows Pole, who played classic melodic heavy metal, but they couldn't really compete with the German bands. So, many people never knew that Gallows Pole released some really popular songs on the first two releases "In Rock We Trust" (1981) and "We Wanna Come Home" (1989). With "And Time Stood Still," you will find all the typical trademarks of the quintet: melodic hard rock/traditional metal that meets the unique and authentic, powerful vocals of Alois Binder.
The track list for "And Time Stands Still" is as follows:
1. And Time Stood Still
2. Summer Rain
3. Older
4. Here And There
5. Rock This Town
6. Take Me To The Heaven
7. I Don't Wanna Go
8. Hold Nights
9. Summer Rain (Radio Edition) More...

Sexual Assault Awareness Month events aim to educate students
As part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Lehigh University's Women's Center and its Gender and Violence group are partnering with various campus offices and organizations to present a series of events that Sexual Violence Prevention Coordinator Steve McAllister hopes will "spark dialogue between friends, challenge students to educate themselves, and inspire people to act when they witness a potentially dangerous situation."
This year's events include the "Sex Signals" program; a speech by sexual assault survivor Rachel Griffin, a "Take Back the Night" march dedicated to the memory of Jeanne Clery, the Clothesline Project, the White Ribbon Campaign, and a banner project in which each Greek house will make a banner with an anti-rape/anti-violence message.
McAllister says that before a person can become a part of the solution, they must first understand how their behaviors, language and attitude may contribute to the problem.
"Everyone in the Lehigh community has a friend or loved one who has experienced some form of sexual violence," he says. "I hope these events will inspire students to learn more about sexual violence."
To choose the events for this year's Sexual Assault Awareness Month, students from across Lehigh's campus came together to form the Sexual Assault Awareness Month committee.
Committee members, says McAllister, researched nationally known programs and selected events based on feedback from other universities, recommendations from Lehigh students who had attended programs at national conferences, and on the basis of whether they thought Lehigh students would be receptive to the presentation's style and message.
"At Lehigh and every college campus, healthy relationships and dating habits are a huge concern," says Marjan Maghbouleh '08, a journalism major and co-chair of Lehigh University's Women's Center's Gender and Violence working group. "Most of our programs this year focus on those issues that pertain to young adults specifically."
"Sex Signals", a program that blended a unique combination of improvisational comedy, education, and audience participation kicked off Sexual Assault Awareness Month on April 3 with a provocative look at the issues of dating, sex, and ultimately, acquaintance rape on college campuses. The two-person show explored how mixed messages, gender role stereotypes, and unrealistic fantasies contribute to misunderstandings between the sexes. The event was co-sponsored by the InterFraternity and Panhellenic Councils, and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs.
Rachel Griffin, a courageous and inspiring sexual assault survivor will speak on Monday, April 10 at 7 p.m. in Neville 01 (Auditorium).
Griffin, known as a passionate voice for advocacy, was sexually assaulted by a trusted friend as a high school student. After staying silent for five years, Griffin decided to reach out for help.
McAllister has known Griffin for many years, having worked with her when they were both students at Central Michigan University, and says that her presentation will put a face on an issue that is too often thought of in the form of statistics.
"Rachel's story," he says, "is an example of how a person can begin to heal from a sexual assault when she or he is brave enough to seek help and is met with unconditional support."
Anne Rapson '06, a finance major and co-chair of the Gender and Violence working group, says that Griffin will bring a whole new perspective on sexual violence that has not been at Lehigh in a long time.
"I think it is important for people to come to this event so they can put another face with the cause," says Rapson. "Rachel is someone that is just like any Lehigh student and she has decided to stand up for what she believes in."
Other Sexual Assault Awareness Month events scheduled include:
"Take Back the Night", Tuesday, April 11
Starting at Lookout Point
Beginning at 7 p.m., the "Take Back the Night" march, in memory of Jeanne Clery, a Lehigh University student who was raped and murdered on-campus on April 5, 1986.
Buses leave from Taylor Gym, Drown, and Fairmart at 6:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. There will be a Speak Out after in Lower Cents. (Rain location: TBD). This year marks the 20th anniversary of the murder of Jeanne Clery, a Lehigh University student. On April 5, 1986, Jeanne was brutally raped and murdered in her residence hall room. This year's "Take Back the Night" march has been dedicated to Jeanne's memory.
The march will begin at the Lookout Point, and conclude at the memorial plaque dedicated to Jeanne Clery outside Stoughton Hall. A brief memorial and an opportunity for students to speak out against violence against women will follow the march. Co-sponsored by Theta Chi.
Clothesline Project, April 3-April 28
Upper University Center
The Clothesline project will be displayed throughout the month of April in the dining area of the Upper University Center. Survivors of sexual violence have made t-shirts representing their trauma, healing, and hope. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to witness the courage possessed by these survivors and their loved ones.
White Ribbon Campaign: Men against Sexual Violence, April 3-April 14
Upper University Center and Ulrich Student Center
Throughout the month of April, men will be encouraged to wear a white ribbon. The white ribbon campaign, which has grown to an international level, asks men to publicly state that they will not commit or condone violence against women and children. Men are asked to prominently display the ribbon and talk about the issue of men's violence against women. Co-sponsored by Sigma Chi & Alpha Chi Omega.
Banner project
The idea of this project is for each house to make a banner with an anti-rape/anti-violence message. The banners will be hung where Rachel Griffin is speaking on April 10 and will be hung outside the Greek houses on April 11 during the "Take Back the Night" march.
All Sexual Assault Awareness Month events sponsored by the Gender and Violence Group of the Women's Center. For more information about any of the Sexual Assault Awareness Month events or Lehigh University's Women's Center, please visit
their Web site
or call (610) 758-6484.
If you are a Lehigh student and you are a survivor of a sexual assault, relationship violence, or stalking, there are Lehigh students who want to help. Please call the "Break the Silence" sexual violence peer hotline at (610) 974-HOPE for a confidential and anonymous way to get information about the resources available to you.

Summer is a great time to play–but not just for kids! If you're a teacher on vacation, the months of July and August are a golden opportunity to explore new apps and tools that you don't have time to test during the busy school year. Devoting a few rainy afternoons to "teacher play" can pay off big in the fall: you can update your curricula or even develop new activities and assessments, and you can also test-drive apps to determine which ones would work well for your students to use.

5.7 Marketing & Stakeholder Strategy
Chapter 5.7
Additional Resources
As described in Chapter 5.7, the development of a marketing strategy and the systematic involvement of key stakeholders becomes increasingly important as the innovator moves toward device commercialization. The steps below have been excerpted from the chapter and are presented with active web links to assist innovators in getting started.Revisit Preliminary Stakeholder Analysis
- What to Cover – The company must be sure that it understands the attitudes and opinions of key stakeholders towards the clinical need and the solution, particularly in light of new information that became available about the technology after the preliminary stakeholder analysis was performed.
- Where to Look – Review 2.3 Stakeholder Analysis and the preliminary stakeholder assessment completed as part of needs screening. Revisit the resources listed in that chapter, including:
- Primary Research
- Professional Societies
- Patient Advocacy and Support Groups
- Online Patient Blogs
- Private Insurance Websites – Sites such as The Regence Group (TRG) Medical Policy or Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield Medical Policies (outline under what circumstances medical services may be eligible for coverage under these private insurance programs and can provide insight into payer behaviors. The Blue Cross/Blue Shield Technology Evaluation Center (TEC) is another applicable resource.
- Public Insurance Websites – Sites such as Medicare's Coverage Center or the U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence may provide relevant information.
- Facility-Related Resources – To locate facility-related perspectives, try conducting a Medline search using keywords that reflect the need and author affiliations/departments related to the people working in the facility (e.g., hospital management, pathology). Trade group websites, such as the American Hospital Association and the Medical Group Management Association are other possibilities (although the extent of information provided may be limited).
Develop Value Propositions and Collect Required Evidence
- What to Cover – Create a stakeholder value proposition matrix (as shown in the book). Approach key stakeholders to obtain their input regarding which value propositions will resonate best with their affiliated target audience. Once the top value propositions are defined, review clinical trial designs to confirm that studies will support them. Seek input from experts on the proposed studies and what data will be required to make value propositions compelling to the target audience. Propose additional studies, as needed. Identify and approach potential study authors (e.g., community and academic clinicians, statisticians, economists). Monitor studies, performing ongoing data analysis to assess how trial results are progressing.
- Where to Look – Conduct primary research with stakeholders to collect the needed information. Perform detailed interviews with KOLs. Revisit 5.3 Clinical Development Strategy and 5.6 Reimbursement Strategy, as needed.
Define Product/Service Mix
- What to Cover – Consider pure product versus product and service mix. Explore service offerings that can enhance the appeal of the underlying product (e.g., service agreements, business development activities, product bundles).
- Where to Look – Revisit the 4.4 Business Models chapter. Evaluate the offerings of competitors and substitutes. Perform additional interviews with key stakeholders, as required.
Make a Channel Decision
- What to Cover – Revisit customer segments and confirm their purchasing characteristics. Identify the appropriate channels to reach each segment. Consider a direct internal sales force, distribution agreement, and/or delegated sales force, based on what will be most effective in reaching the company's targets. Be sure to consider channels within and outside the U.S., as appropriate.
- Where to Look – Refer back to 2.4 Market Analysis for segmentation data and 5.8 Sales & Distribution Plan for more information about channels.
Develop an Approach to Promotion
- What to Cover – Create a marketing communication strategy that outlines vehicles, key messages, and timing for communications targeted at each key stakeholder group. This should include strategies for peer reviewed publications, conferences, CME, reimbursement dossiers, and DTC advertising (as needed). Remember to sequence communications appropriately so that no stakeholder group is taken by surprise regarding inquiries about the device. Determine whether or not strong resistance is to be expected within or between any key stakeholder groups. If so, develop a PR strategy that engages appropriate professional societies, physician groups, hospital groups, etc. that can help resolve the anticipated conflict and/or mitigate it so it does not negatively affect device adoption upon launch.
- Where to Look – Gather as much competitive intelligence as possible as inputs to developing these strategies, including:
- Interviews with KOLs.
- Competitive Intelligence – Marketing communication and/or PR strategies of competitors.
- Press Releases from Competitors
- Advertising Campaigns in Medical Journals, Newspapers, and Business Journals for Competitors and/or Proxy Devices
- Competitor Presence at Professional Society Meetings and Conferences
- Competitor Presence at Patient Advocacy and Support Group Meetings
- Competitor Presence on Online Patient Blogs
Develop a Pricing Strategy
- What to Cover – Be sure that the company's costs are well understood relative to the value the offering provides. Perform comparables analysis and supporting market research (include the status of reimbursement and price sensitivity in the data collection effort). Set a baseline price, and then consider the different pricing strategy options available to the company (e.g., differentiated pricing, bundled pricing, gainsharing, pay-for-performance).
- Where to Look – See 5.6 Reimbursement Strategy for details on justifying the value of a device. Survey purchasers and perform secondary research to assess comparables.

1st and 10: Ten predictions for Ravens-Bears
4 Downs: Chicago Bears
Time to look into the crystal ball and see what will happen when the Ravens face the Bears at Soldier Field in Chicago on Sunday:
1. Bernard Pierce will have more rushing yards than Ray Rice. ...
All week, the talk around Baltimore has been whether Bernard Pierce should be starting over Ray Rice. ESPN even ran a poll asking that very question. Rice is averaging just 2.5 yards a carry, but to be fair, Pierce hasn't been much better (2.8). Still, Pierce has showed a little more burst of late and appears more likely to break one into the open field.
2. ... but Matt Forte will have more rushing yards than both of them.
Forte, who was taken by the Bears 11 spots before Rice in the 2008 draft, has shown none of the dropoff this season that Rice has. Forte has 691 yards rushing (4.4 avg.) on 157 carries -- that's more than 100 yards greater than Rice and Pierce combined, and he's done so in 51 fewer carries. The Ravens rank 10th in run defense, but Haloti Ngata is playing on a bad knee.
3. The Ravens will not rush for 100 yards.
The Ravens hope to get right against the Bears' 31st-ranked run defense, which has allowed 129 yards a game on the ground. But the Ravens faced a low-rated Bills run defense earlier this year and totaled a whopping 24 yards on the ground. With the offensive line issues, and Rice's hip issue, there's been nothing to suggest they can break out of a season-long running slump.
[RELATED: Previewing Sunday's Ravens-Bears game]
4. Tyrod Taylor will see the field again.
The Ravens turned to backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor to jump-start the offense last week, and his 18-yard gain on an end-around is one of the Ravens' longest runs of the season. He can make things happen with his legs, and the Ravens will try to utilize that again.
5. Tandon Doss will be targeted at least five times.
Doss was targeted just once and had no catches last week. But if the weather is as bad as expected -- stormy and windy -- the quicker, intermediate routes will be a better option than deep balls. And Marlon Brown, one of Flacco's favorite mid-range threats, is questionable this week (knee).
6. Joe Flacco will be sacked at least twice.
Flacco has been under the gun all season, going down 30 times in the first nine games and getting hit repeatedly as the line and running backs struggle with pressure. Don't think the Bears haven't been watching. Their defense is depleted, and their 14 sacks rank tied for second-fewest in the league. But the Ravens protection has been a problem and Flacco will be hit again.
7. ... but so will Bears quarterback Josh McCown.
The Bears have allowed 14 sacks, the third-fewest in the league. Still, the Ravens pass rush has been dialing it up, with five sacks of Andy Dalton last week. The Ravens have at least two sacks in 17 straight games.
[RELATED: Gloomy weather in the forecast for Sunday's game]
8. The Bears will win the turnover battle.
If the weather is nasty, ball security will be critical, and the Bears have been more opportunistic. The Bears defense has 20 turnovers this season, while the Ravens have 13. For the season, the Bears' turnover margin sits at plus-8, while the Ravens are at minus-3.
9. There will be a missed field goal.
Wind, rain and slop could make for miserable kicking conditions. Justin Tucker nailed a 46-yarder in a tricky wind to beat Cincinnati last week and has made 16 in a row. Bears kicker Robbie Gould has been perfect (7-for-7) at home. One of those streaks will end.
10. Bears 20, Ravens 17
The Ravens have not shown the ability to outscore teams, and there's no reason to expect this game to be high-scoring either, especially if the weather is bad. Jay Cutler is out, but Josh McCown is a capable backup quarterback and the Bears, unlike the Ravens, have an established running game. That will be the difference.

George Clooney Insists That Having Smooth Balls Is The New Trend
George Clooney is usually a well received and portrayed individual, but when the renown actor explained how he preserves his youth… most people were taken back.
According to Clooney…he gets his balls ironed. Clooney has his the skin surrounding his testicles smoothed to remove any unsightly wrinkles!
When asked about plastic surgery Clooney said, "I never fixed my eyes, but I spent more money to stretch the skin of my testicles. I did not like the wrinkles."
Clooney insists that having smooth balls is the new trend, "It's a new technique, many people in Hollywood have done it. It's called ball ironing."
We're not sure as to how people go about doing this, but we wouldn't be shocked if we hear that other Hollywood stars getting the same treatment.

I edited the english lang to my liking. I agree about the front end. I am a programmer and I found it difficult to install roadrunner with the correct packages. However I like the extra plugins it has. CAVE is clean and simple. I hope cave will have as many plugins one day.
Good work!

Roasted tomatoes ready for shoot, styled by Aran
photo by me
When Aran announced the workshop earlier this year, I jumped on the opportunity to learn from her, to improve my food photos and have a little 'me' day. But everything was so rushed, and I was wondering why I had added yet another thing to my schedule on my way to Montreal the day before M's party.
Radishes sliced thinly for salad, prepping ingredients, Aran shooting tomatoes
I got to the workshop 15 minutes late (this never happens to me!) and joined Aran, 12 women and Mayssam, who had managed to get Aran to Montreal. Aran started the day by going through her process, how she sets up her shoots, where she takes her photos and a little background on how she got to where she is today. Aran is very friendly, a little reserved and seems delicate - but with an added spark that you can see in her photos. I was trying to take everything in and to hear how she gets the photos she publishes on her blog.
Once Aran started preparing her shots I saw how the details matter. A photographer friend of mine had once told me that food photos are 80% about styling and only 20% about photography. I could see that happening here. You can't rush a photo, attention needs to be given to the food arrangement, the background, the herb placement, the fact that a radish looks better sliced thin, etc. This will be my main challenge, to find the time to prepare for a great photo and not taking a couple of pictures right before serving dinner.
Aran's computer for photo analysis, water and ingredients around the kitchen
While watching Aran, my head was going through my to-do list and I was getting a tad impatient with people asking about camera settings, software settings and so on - that was unfair of me. Everyone was taking this day to learn and take away something, and I was forgetting to do the same.
While I was flustered and didn't really have the head in the game, I do see 3 weeks later - relaxed after my vacation - that I picked up a lot of pointers for myself. Be it the importance of careful styling or a few details on lighting that I tend to rush, or even ignore. There is no magic formula to take a good photo, it's good preparation, the details, light and lot's of practice.
I want to use this post to thank Aran for her time, her knowledge, her wonderful talent in food photography and I want to apologize for not bringing my all when she was. I'll never look at a cut tomato quite the same way and there's always a pretty way to present a strawberry.
After lunch it was our turn to style and photograph. You can see my flustered attempts below.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Tray Woodall scored 24 points and Ashton Gibbs added 15 to lead Pitt to a 72-66 victory over West Virginia Monday night at the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown.
It was Gibbs and Woodall who flipped West Virginia's 17-9 first half lead, Woodall scoring seven of Pitt's final 12 points of the half, including a 3 at the buzzer to give the Panthers a 33-29 lead at the break.
The Mountaineers (15-8, 5-5) helped the Panthers by failing to score a field goal during a seven-minute stretch midway through the first half before Kevin Jones ended the drought with a follow-up basket to tie the game at 23.
Early in the second half, the Panthers built their lead to 10 during a bizarre stretch that saw coach Bob Huggins get called for a technical foul while shouting instructions to his own player. At the time, the Panthers were leading 39-31 after Dante Taylor slipped free for an easy basket and was fouled on the play by Truck Bryant.
"I can't explain that," said Huggins. "I am yelling at Truck because he didn't make a rotation. I don't know how that happens?"
Gibbs made one of the two technicals before Taylor stepped back to the line to complete the three-point play, giving the Panthers a double-digit lead. Pitt also led 43-33 and 45-35 before the Mountaineers began chipping away. A Deniz Kilicli layup with 13:03 remaining cut Pitt's lead to five, 46-41, and a Jones jumper with 10:45 left got it down to three, 48-45.
After Pitt increased its lead back to seven, 52-45, on two Lamar Patterson free throws, West Virginia eventually whittled it down to two, 54-52, on a Jabarie Hinds layup.
A Kilicli jumper and a Jones free throw cut Pitt's lead to four, 63-59, before Taylor made a great hustle play when he was able to beat two West Virginia players for a 50-50 ball underneath Pitt's basket to score a layup for his eighth point of the game. That put the Panthers back up by six, 65-59, with two minutes left.
"It's a four-point game, KJ makes a great defensive play and we don't even make a move to go get the ball," said Huggins. "The ball is going out of bounds, they throw it back in, we've got two guys there, they've got one guy in the middle and he gets it and lays it in."
Woodall then responded with the biggest basket of the game when he beat the Mountaineers off the bounce and was able to bank one in for his 24th point to keep it a six-point game with 55 seconds left. Free throws by Robinson, Patterson and Gibbs iced it for Pitt.
"We get it going and do the right thing and then I guess we think it's easy. We're just not tough enough," said Huggins.
Pitt had an 8-0 advantage in fast break points and a 36-26 edge in points in the paint.
"You can't throw them the ball for layups," said Huggins. "They got back in the game because we gave them layups in transition."
Jones led West Virginia with 21 points and 13 rebounds – his 15th double-double of the season and his eight consecutive 20-point game – the most by a West Virginia player since All-American guard Wil Robinson had nine straight 20-point games in 1972.
"I feel terrible for KJ because he is playing his heart out," said Huggins.
Bryant added 14, Kilicli 12 and Hinds 10 for the Mountaineers.
Pitt (14-9, 3-7) made 21 of 26 from the free throw line tonight and has now won seven of its last 10 against the Mountaineers. Panther coach Jamie Dixon is 12-6 against West Virginia, including five wins at the Coliseum.
"I'm extremely frustrated with where we are right now," said Huggins.
The announced attendance for tonight's game was 13,032.
A difficult five-day stretch for the Mountaineers became even tougher after Huggins announced on his postgame radio show that freshman forward Kevin Noreen broke his ankle during the loss and is now likely out for the remainder of the season. With freshman Pat Forsythe also on the shelf, that means junior Dominique Rutledge is the only remaining big man left on the bench for WVU.
West Virginia is off until Sunday when it travels to Providence to face the Friars, who play Rutgers on Wednesday night. After that, the Mountaineers' next two games are at home against Notre Dame and 25th-ranked Louisville before facing Pitt again in Pittsburgh on Feb. 16.
"Nothing in this league is easy and now we've got to go to Providence – which is going to be hard," said Huggins, who plans on giving his team the next two days off before returning to practice on Thursday.

Greely rides stellar pitching to Class B pinnacle
Greely's baseball team won 47 games between 2011 and 2013, but had nothing to show for it.
Nothing as in coveted championship hardware for one of the state's premier programs.
The Rangers' frustration came to an end last week as its culminated a run of pitching excellence likely never before seen in the state of Maine with a Class B title, the fifth in program history.
Greely, the No. 2 seed in Western B after a 13-3 campaign, blanked No. 10 Yarmouth (4-0) in the quarterfinals and third-ranked Poland (5-0) in the semifinals to earn a date against No. 1 Lincoln Academy in the regional final last Wednesday at St. Joseph's College, where the Rangers' pitching staff kept posting goose eggs.
Patrick O'Shea had a sacrifice fly and Miles Shields scored on an error to give Greely a 2-0 lead in the second and that was more than enough, even though there were some anxious moments. Bailey Train pitched shutout ball into the fifth, where the Eagles put two on with no outs and with the heart of the order coming up, Rangers coach Derek Soule replaced Train with Mike McDevitt, who got out of the jam with a strikeout, pop up and a runner caught stealing.
"Mike came into a tremendously difficult situation and he came through," said Soule.
Shields added to the lead with an RBI single in the sixth and Will Bryant slammed the door in the final two innings to give Greely a 3-0 victory.
That sent Greely to Bangor Saturday to face Eastern B champion Caribou, a squad which went 10-6 in the regular season and was ranked seventh for the playoffs before coming to life.
The Vikings proved to be legit, as the teams battled through six scoreless innings, with senior Connor Russell getting the job done on the hill for the Rangers, but he was matched pitch for pitch by Caribou's Sean Sadler.
"Caribou's pitcher was really on," Soule said. "He threw five different pitches and never threw the same pitch twice in a row. He even threw a knuckleball and kept us off balance."
Then, in the top of the seventh, Greely finally broke through.
The Rangers managed just one hit to that juncture, but Bryant, pinch-hitting, opened the seventh by singling to right. Shields sacrificed Bryant to second before O'Shea beat out a chopper toward third base to put runners on first and third with one down.
Reid Howland then worked the count full before cleanly lining a single to right to drive home Bryant for the game's lone run.
"I was just looking to get something in the air in the outfield to get a [sacrifice] fly," said Howland, "I battled and we got to a 3-2 count and the pitch was low and away so I just went with it and found the gap."
"The bottom of our order has been steady all year," Soule said. "Howland had the clutch hit."
Russell faced just three batters in the bottom of the seventh, with a leadoff single erased by a game-ending double play from Calvin Soule at second to O'Shea at short to McDevitt at first.
"Winning that way was fun to see," said Derek Soule. "We work on double plays a lot, but our pitchers strike out so many batters.
"I was exhilarated with a feeling of relief as well. This senior class is so special and some of the guys won in soccer and hockey, but there were some very good athletes who played on great teams but hadn't won a championship. I wanted it badly for them."
Greely finished 17-3.
Russell pitched his second straight postseason shutout, a five-hitter with five strikeouts and only one walk. He only threw 93 pitches (60 for strikes).
"It's great that Connor was the guy who brought it home for us," Russell said. "Sophomore year, he relieved against Cape in the playoffs in only his third career appearance. We were down, 2-1, and they had the bases loaded and they squeezed and Connor threw the ball away. He took it tough, but I loved the fact that he came back so determined. He went 6-1 this season and 12-1 for his career. He came full circle."
Greely's pitching staff did not allow a run during the playoffs and ended the season with 39 consecutive scoreless innings.
"(The scoreless streak) was pretty extraordinary," Soule said. "I've coached a long time and I don't know of another team to do it. I had complained earlier in the year about giving up runs, but we just got on a roll. It was a combination of pitchers being in sync with the catcher and with (pitching coach) Miles Hunt. They had great rythym all playoffs. We limited walks and made some good defensive plays over the course of four games. It was an amazing feat."
While Greely won Class B in 1997, 1999, 2007 and 2009, it's never gone back-to-back. The Rangers will have some big holes to fill in 2015, as Russell and Train depart from the pitching staff and outfielder Tom Buchholz, along with three-quarters of the infield (McDevitt, O'Shea and Will Porter), also graduate.
"We'll have plenty in reserve," Soule said. "We had a practice game the Saturday before the playoffs between our starters and our reserves and JV guys and the reserves won, 3-2. We have some talented players coming up."
Bangor Daily News staff writer Ernie Clark contributed to this story.

Real Madrid may be on the brink of progression to the last 16 of the Copa del Rey but Jose Mourinho accepts his side still need to perform well against Alcoyano to fend off the critics.
Madrid's 1-0 defeat at Real Betis on Saturday night saw them fall 11 points behind leaders Barcelona, who won 4-0 at Levante a day later, and heaped more pressure on Mourinho.
The defending Primera Division champions go into Tuesday night's clash with third-tier Alcoyano 4-1 up from the away leg but, even though he has rested a number of key players, Mourinho knows his men must deliver an impressive display at the Bernabeu.
He said on Monday: "It was a very good result (in the first leg) and it almost puts the team through to the next round, but we know that neither us nor the fans are happy.
"Tomorrow it will not be enough if we lose by a goal or draw and still get through to the next round. We have to win and play well against Alcoyano.
"We have to play at our best and if we don't get through it would be a total catastrophe, but we have an obligation to people to take the match with the seriousness that the competition and Alcoyano deserve.
"Tickets will be more affordable and cost less than they normally do, but we have to justify every penny that the fans pay and justify them coming out of their houses in the cold at 2130 to see a Second Division B team.
"We have to give these people what they will demand and they will whistle with every right to do so.
"The players that have been picked are those who have to take the responsibility."
He is placing his faith in youth on Tuesday with Nacho, Alvaro Morata, Jose Rodriguez and Denis Cheryshev all included in the squad and expected to play.
"I ask people to have sensitivity and admiration towards the boys who are going to play," said the Portuguese.
"There will be four of them because of the competition's rules does not allow any more.
"Morata, Rodríguez, Nacho and Denis will be playing. I ask them to show what they think they have to show."
Barca host Alaves on Wednesday with a 3-0 first-leg advantage to defend.
Full-back Jordi Alba has been a key component of the club's flying start in league and cup competitions this season and he is pleased with how well he has settled into life back at the Nou Camp.
The former La Masia graduate said: "I started a bit hesitantly but now I feel very good and very confident.
"I am connected to the club and I try to get better each day."
Atletico, who are second in the league, three points behind Barca, also have a 3-0 lead when they host Jaen while there are five top-flight clubs facing a fight to get through against lower-league opposition.
Osasuna are 1-0 down to Sporting Gijon, as are Levante to Melilla and Rayo Vallecano to Las Palmas, Real Sociedad are two behind Cordoba and Celta Vigo will also try to make up a 2-0 deficit on Almeria.

Video:Pick Exterior Paint Colorswith Jackie Craven
Is it time to update the look of your home's exterior with a new paint job? Get the scoop on all the details you should consider when painting your house.See Transcript
Transcript:Pick Exterior Paint Colors
Hi! I'm Jackie Craven, a Guide to architecture at About.com. Grab a color wheel or some paint swatches. Today we're going to pick new colors for your house.
Choose Paint Colors That Compliment the Roof
Begin with colors suggested by your roof. Your house doesn't have to match the roof, but it should harmonize. Also consider other features you don't plan to paint, such as masonry or vinyl windows.
Coincide the Colors With Surrounding Houses
Choose colors that coordinate with buildings around you. My neighbor's house here is golden rust. I need colors that don't clash.
Consider Matching Outdoor Paint With Interiors
The colors you've used for interior room may suggest ideas for colors outside your house. I like the green in this sofa cushion.
Use a Historic Paint Color Chart
If you're painting an older home, you may want to select colors from a historic color chart. Or you can try to find out what colors were used on your house before you moved in. According to old photos my house was painted dark green and white. For a while, it was boring beige vinyl siding.
Try Painting With Various Shades
Most houses use at least three different colors: one for the siding, and two or more for trim and accents such as doors, railings, and window sashes. Darker colors are great for accenting recess spaces and window sashes. Lighter colors will highlight details that project from the wall's surface.
Don't be afraid to experiment with color combinations. You can use a virtual painting program to preview your house colors. Or, you can photocopy a sketch of your house and try different color combinations.
Test the Paint on Your House
Before you buy gallons of paint, test a spot to see if you like the color. I don't know, this looks pretty blah to me, I need a darker color for this house. Be sure to look at the colors at different times of the day.
Choose Paint Sheen
You thought you only had to pick colors? Sorry, in addition, you'll also have to decide on the sheen of your paint. Glossy, semi or soft gloss, or flat. I like to use a glossy finish for columns and window sashes and a soft gloss for siding. It's so easy to clean.
And here it is! Thanks for watching. To learn more visit us at About.com.

My fiancé decided to propose to me this past Christmas to give me something happy to think about during the holiday. My dad had passed away in June, and it would be my first Christmas without him. My fiancé knew I was having a really rough time. So, on Christmas morning, he saved the ring as the last gift to open. It was in this beautiful wooden box, which happened to be a trick box. After I fumbled with the box for a while, he finally told me to open it from the bottom. I opened the box and was so surprised! He got down on one knee and said, "It's an engagement ring" instead of saying, "Will you marry me?" He was so nervous that I waited for him to ask the question, but I ended up asking him, "Are you asking me to marry you?" He said that he was proposing, and of course I said yes!

An Advocate for the Arts
Profile of Pomona alumnus Earl Fisher '57
have a somewhat complicated mind, admits Earl Fisher 57. Its
a mind that has allowed him to take on a variety of wide-ranging and seemingly
disparate roles in life: scholar in international relations, European
opera singer, investment counsel, fund-raiser, political activist and
patron of arts education. But in Fishers mind, everything in life
is connected, and one of the themes that connects things is art.

I love the browser wars. Even though I've been solidly in Chrome for the last few years, I always like testing out each versions updates and appreciate all the different clients pushing each other to bring us faster more stable clients.
Opera Next preview for Mac shows the Mail-less, Chromium based browser of Opera's future
Opera has released a preview build of their next release for the Mac. Things are quite different this time around, though, as Opera Mail has been split away from the browser, and the whole thing is built upon Chromium. Opera has also included a couple of new features, including bringing the 'Discover' recommendation system to the desktop.
Discover has previously been available via the Android version of Opera, and is essentially curates content from the web based on a set of user preset categories alongside location. Also new in this build -- Opera Next, as it's currently known -- is the 'Stash' feature that lets you pin individual items, or entire web pages for easy access. Kind of like bookmarks, but prettier.
When it comes to Opera Mail, this was removed but hasn't gone away entirely. Opera is now pushing Mail as a separate entity entirely, and has also published the first release candidate of Mail for the Mac. Underneath, Opera Next has been re-engineered, and is now based upon Chromium. This provides a set of standards, and a higher performing browser, says Opera.
We've taken a very quick look at Opera Next on the Mac, and first impressions aren't bad. It's definitely performing well at anything we've thrown at it so far, and the sleek looking interface makes for a pleasant experience. If you want to take a look for yourselves, go grab a copy from Opera and let us know how you think it compares to your own browser of choice.

Opera Next preview for Mac shows the Mail-less, Chromium based browser of Opera's future
Except normal people don't use Opera or care about it at all.
It's the weird little "also ran" browser that does everything differently for "different" people, (who are mostly young, male, techno-braggards) that do everything a "special" way.
By reason of it's very design and philosophy, Opera will simply *never* get any appreciable market share and this article will get fewer than usual comments and hits as well.
Opera, inovator, inventor od SpeedDial, Tabs, mouse gestures, ContentBlocking, Opera Turbo, famouse Opera Sync and only browser i use for many-many years thanks to many great and intuitive features has change to grey, ordinary clone of chrome. Good bye Opera.
Yeah, I can't stand not having that feature. I save 'junk' to the temp location, most of my other stuff to the Downloads library (which I organise every so often), and other specific stuff gets saved directly to the specific location. This way I have no rubbish I need to clear out, it's just a simple Opera>Clean command.
Lets see the magic http://bit.ly/13j5dbb

One good thing about Teresa Giudice refusing to film The View with Kathy Wakile and Melissa Gorga……she got a chance to talk! She even got a chance to plug her charity.
Teresa, stunning in a red dress, talked about watching the season 4 episodes of the Real Housewives of New Jersey and hearing the hurtful things everyone on the cast is saying about her. Season 4 began filming in June, 2011, so Teresa did not know this was going on. The cast sees the shows 3 days before they air, so they can write their Bravo blogs. She hasn't spoken to them since last September, at the Season 3 reunion, and she didn't think this was the time or place to do it.
No one has been asked back for Season 5, yet.
Barbara Walters, who usually isn't there unless there's an A-lister to talk to, knew nothing about the show, but of course continued to talk. And talk.
When pressed by Barbara, Teresa admitted she does not want to quit the show. Joy Behar then said,"why should she quit?"
Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile came on after the commercial break, and Melissa was blazing angry. They could not say that Teresa was lying about not knowing they were coming on the show, only saying they were "interviewed". So, the christening episode, the first episode in Season 3, when we met Kathy and Melissa, was an "interview'?
Joy Behar asked them about professional jealousy, since Teresa is clearly the star. They denied that, of course. They were asked about the kids never interacting with each other, no answer, after that, everyone was talking over everyone else. Typical segment on "the View".
Disappointing, to say the least. Wonder what Andy Cohen thinks about the separate interviews?
In the meantime, here's a link to the ladies before the segment aired.
An interview with Teresa after The View taping
A statement from Teresa's rep:
"To be clear, Teresa Giudice was never informed at any time by her sister-in-law, cousin or brother that they were taking meetings to join the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey until after they signed their deals. In fact, Teresa's family members went through the quite lengthy process of joining the cast which included meeting with the producers, network and negotiating their contracts, all without Teresa's knowledge. Teresa finally received a phone call from her family after all of their contracts were finalized a mere two days before filming was set to commence with the surprising news that they joined the cast." ]

Great knickers for the fall season. I'm 6'4", 190 lbs and the large fits perfect. Will be laying these under some winter tights once the cold weather hits.
