Grimes lists her favorite songs of all time (includes Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Paramore, Burial, Butthole Surfers & more)
by Andrew Sacher
Grimes at ACL 2013 (more by Tim Griffin)
Whether it's to criticize her or praise her, it's hard to deny that people like talking about Grimes' musical opinions. Her top 10 albums of 2012 list included the most pop (Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber) AND the least pop (Swans), and she totally meant it too. She's defended Beyonce, Mariah Carey, and pop music in general, and denied accusations of trolling when her Boiler Room set included Taylor Swift, Maria Carey, Ramones, Skrillex, and others.
Grimes has now published a list to her tumblr of her favorite songs of all time. It continues her trend of pulling from pop and experimental music with songs from Burial, Mariah Carey, Joanna Newsom, Beyonce, Mazzy Star, Skrillex, Animal Collective, Butthole Surfers, Paramore and more. It's not only newer stuff though, she's also got Patsy Cline, Prince, and Enya, among others.
Check out her whole list (subject to change), via Exclaim, below...

MBV @ ATP NY 2008 (more by Abbey Braden)
My Bloody Valentine shocked fans this year by actually making good on their promise of finally releasing a new album, MBV, back in February -- the one Kevin Shields has been promising since 1991's Loveless. At that time, the band was already starting their 2013 tour which will wrap up here in NYC with shows at Hammerstein Ballroom on November 11 & 12. It's their first NYC shows since the very muddy All Points West Festival in 2009 and tickets are still available. I spoke to Kevin Shields on Thursday (10/24) via transatlantic call about the new record, the tour, Tool fans, the difference between digital and analogue and what to expect next.
Read it below...

Tame Impala at Terminal 5 in February (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
We know these kinds of listicles get published all the time, and that everyone will always find ways to argue them, but this one is kind of interesting. Rolling Stone published their '50 Greatest Live Acts Right Now' list, where they asked a panel of writers, industry figures, and artists, "who rules the road in 2013?" It's got much of the stuff you'd think Rolling Stone would have on this kind of list (like insisting The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen are still better live than basically anyone else in 2013), but there's still some surprises, like the inclusion of Tame Impala amongst mainly rock/pop stars.
If you wanna see if you agree with Rolling Stone's assertions, you can catch some of the artists who made their list in NYC soon, like Tame Impala, Fiona Apple, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, and more.
Check out the full list below...

Puscifer (Maynard), Neil Hamburger & Uncle Scratch's Gospel Revival played the Apollo & Grand Ballroom (pics)
photos by Paul Birman
...The material, though unfamiliar, was an excellent vehicle for Keenan's gifts. Most of it was swaggery and driving, pitched right between the sinister and the playful. But some of it was downright balladic, with a distinctly loungey feel, with Keenan coming off like a histrionic though entirely sincere Vegas crooner. The music and the presentation had a gimmicky element, but crucially, Keenan played it straight and sang his ass off. (To be fair, the band ruled, especially the really solid, crushing drummer and an excellent female vocalist--Carina Round--who served as an excellent foil for Maynard.)Maynard James Keenan's Puscifer made their NYC debut with a pair of shows last weekend: March 11th at the Grand Ballroom/Hamerstein Ballroom (where the above review and pictures here are from) and March 13th at the Apollo Theater. Uncle Scratch's Gospel Revival and Neil Hamburger opened (and also participated in Puscifer's extensive stage-show set-up).
The stunning quality of his performance had the really remarkable effect of legitimizing everything around it. Gradually, all the cheesy video interludes came to seem delightful; the theatrical hubbub going on simultaneous to the music began to come off like a charming complement to the already vaguely Broadway-ish material. (Former Primus drummer Tim Alexander played the role of a flight attendant, while opening acts Neil Hamburger (!) and Uncle Scratch's Gospel Revival sat in faux airplane seats at center stage, chatting, drinking and reading the paper during the majority of the performance.) Overall it was like watching a performer jump the shark, but doing so in such a professional and expertly choreographed fashion that the joke was on you for trying to put them in an aesthetic box in the first place. You actually felt like you were being forced to accept an aspect of Maynard James Keenan that you weren't ready for and you couldn't help but be won over. [Dark Forces Swing Blind Punches]
Their tour continues through March. More pictures below...

My name is Maynard James Keenan. Welcome to the party that goes on in my head 24 hours a day. Welcome to PUSCIFER, my creative subconscious. Welcome to my island of misfit ideas who've found no home with TOOL, A PERFECT CIRCLE, or CADUCEUS. Life is too short NOT to create something with every breath we draw. Puscifer celebrates this creative process. We embrace all mediums. Music, film, cuisine, winemaking, useless stuff made in china by slaves who beat baby seals, and very specific forms of martial arts that are completely ineffective but appear mysterious and edgy. There are more mediums, but spell check doesn't work very well on this profile thingy. Welcome to our clown car. Love, Maynard & Puscifer. Booty Bass from Jerome, Arizona.I love Maynard James Keenan and all of his musical projects, but I am particularly intrigued by the whole Puscifer concept. Sure, it seems silly and a little schlocky, but it's such a fun concept that I can't help but give it huge props. Maynard is the only permanent member of the troupe, but there's a huge cast of characters in the rotation. And comedy fans with a keen eye and a good memory might remember that Puscifer's first documented appearance (with Maynard and Tool's Adam Jones) as a real entity occurred in the very first episode of Mr. Show (video below). Puscifer has NEVER appeared in New York City. But that's about to change when they play the Grand Ballroom on March 11th and then the Apollo Theater on March 13th. There's also a TBD NYC date on March 12th. There's a presale happening RIGHT NOW (password = METRO), but act fast because it ends in a matter of hours!
UPDATE: Tickets are now on general sale.

"First came the rain on Friday, then the heat on Saturday. But Lollapalooza breeds a hearty stock, so with slip 'n slides, togas and giant Chinese peasant hats in tow, out came the 70,000-plus for another day of music that was capped by fill-in headliners the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and doomy metal icons Tool.No that isn't an All Points West review. More pictures from the second day of this year's Lollapalooza festival, below...
Taking the place of the Beastie Boys, who had to drop out several weeks ago due to MC Adam Yauch's bout with cancer of the salivary gland, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs brought their always-colorful A-game, led, as usual, by fashion-forward singer Karen O, who took the stage in a kaleidoscopic, towering bird costume. Down on the south end, things couldn't have looked and sounded any more different, as Tool singer Maynard James Keenan stripped down to a pair of black workout shorts and moaned the lyrics to his band's turgid D&D metal as giant H.R. Giger-like images of giant bugs and morphing aliens were projected on the big screens." [MTV]

mud, Tool & Ice T
During his Friday night set at the All Points West festival in Jersey City, Jay-Z took a moment to salute trail-blazing gangsta-rapper Ice-T, who, Jay-Z said, was "in the house." And Saturday afternoon, Ice-T took the stage to perform as a backing rapper during Kool Keith's second-stage performance.Though it didn't rain on Saturday (8/1), it was still super muddy. There were dry spots, but you literally could not walk from one place to another without going through some mud. Other highlights of the second day of All Points West included comedy by Tim & Eric in the tent (aka the third stage), back-to-back sets by St. Vincent and Neko Case on the 2nd stage, and the Arctic Monkeys and Gogol Bordello on the main stage. But nothing topped the end of the day. Now fully dark out and perfect weather, My Bloody Valentine, with the Statue of Liberty to their right and the Manhattan skyline straight ahead of them, delivered the power. The hour they played was, for me, the perfect festival experience.
"Sometimes it's just cool to stand on the side of the stage and be a hype man," said Ice-T.
He did, though, perform parts of his own raps, "Hardcore" and "God Forgive Me," a cappella.
With his confident, casually commanding flow, he made a strong impression in his few brief moments in the spotlight.
In addition to Jay-Z and Kool Keith, hip-hop acts like Q-Tip, the Knux and the Cool Kids have performed at All Points West. Hip-hop, though, will not figure prominently in the third and final day of the festival, Sunday. [NJ.com]
My Bloody Valentine
It helped that My Bloody Valentine, as they are known for being, were LOUD. Maybe they didn't seem as loud as they did inside a club, but they were loud enough that even those in the bleachers were putting on their earplugs if they had them. After their set I ran all the way back to the dance tent (pretty much the farthest distance you would have to ever go at this festival) to catch Crystal Castles. The tent was packed with the largest concentration of youth I'd seen in Liberty State Park up until that point. Everyone was dancing and cheering. Before CC were finished I ran back to the main stage to watch Tool.
During My Bloody Valentine I thought, "well, there are plenty of people here, but I guess they could fit a lot more". Ends up, all of those people that could fit, they showed up for Tool! Did they all just get there? Were they hiding in other areas? Either way, it totally hit me by surprise when I got back to the stage. I was also surprised, but happy, that Tool hadn't gone on yet. They don't play a super long set, so maybe they delayed to make the show go until curfew.
Once they did start, the amount of fist pumping (much bro fist pumping included) going on almost matched the amount of people in the park. I wouldn't consider myself a Tool fan, but there was no denying the awesomeness of their show.
"On a bill loaded with indie rock, Tool seemed initially distinguished by their popularity. They were the only band on Saturday's bill to have a platinum record, and the only performers to have won Grammys, and the only ones with enough starpower to sell out arenas on their own. And yet despite their high profile, Tool hardly behave like a mainstream band. Saturday's set was an exercise in atmosphere -- a dark, riveting performance that minimized the members of band while foregrounding their stranger sensibilities.I took the light rail to the park, but then the ferry home. Props to APW for making the ferry experience a much, much better one this year (no line at all, huge boats, very quick trip home, and I didn't even leave until Tool was finished).
Visually, the show was stunning. Tool perform to a series of bleak films mostly created by the artist Adam Jones, and beamed out giant-size across Liberty State Park they seemed more imposing and unnerving than ever. Opening with the sinister, twisting "Jambi," the group slowly worked its way through a set that spanned its small catalog. Part of what makes Tool concerts such visceral experiences is the band's peerless sense of control and release. Songs start with icicle drip guitars and rolling, tribal percussion, steadily building to perfectly timed explosions of sound. When paired with Jones' frightening films, it became more like a theater experience than a concert. At times it was remarkably easy to forget there was a band onstage at all." [Rolling Stone]

Maynard James Keenan w/ wine
Wine Spectator: How did you first get interested in wine?Starting in June, Maynard James Keenan is going on tour - not with his band Tool (that comes later), but to Whole Foods and other stores to sign bottles of his Caduceus wine. Wine signing dates include June 18th in Springfield, NJ. All of them below.
Maynard James Keenan: Being in an occupation that requires me to travel quite a bit, you're just exposed to more cultural things than you would if you were growing up in the suburbs of Boise, Idaho. When you're drinking warm Coca-Cola and your accountants and managers and booking agents are walking around with these nice glasses with nice red juice in it, you say, 'Hey, that doesn't look like what I've been drinking in the dressing room. What's that? I'm not going on stage unless I get to have what you have.'
Tool are playing dates in July and August, All Points West and Lollapalooza included. All of those dates are below too...

"Though promoters around the country report strong early ticket sales for festivals and summer tours, the recession is causing jitters. This year Coachella, which has the most glamorous reputation of all American festivals, began selling tickets on layaway, and 18 percent of its customers took that option, Mr. Tollett said.With all the leaks of bands playing Lollapalooza this year, there are almost no surprises in the official lineup announcement, except maybe the Animal Collective DJ set... The whole thing below...
The proliferation of big festivals, like Bonnaroo near Nashville and Lollapalooza in Chicago, has not been without casualties. This year Langerado in Miami shut down, citing the economy. The Pemberton Festival in British Columbia is on hiatus after only one year, although its promoter, Live Nation, said the problem was permit delays." [NY Times]

All Point West - 2009 festival dates & lineup (Tool, My Bloody Valentine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beastie Boys, Coldplay)
Following last year's inaugural event, festival producers began work immediately on resolving concerns expressed by fans in attendance. They have worked closely with their partners at NJ Transit to improve light-rail service and capacity. As an added value for 2009, festival goers who choose to travel to the site utilizing the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail line can ride for free throughout the weekend with their ALL POINTS WEST festival ticket. Additionally, based on the popularity of the ferry as a mode of transportation from lower Manhattan to Liberty State Park, the frequency and size of the ferryboats will increase at a reduced price for festival attendees.... The producers have also worked with their partners at Liberty State Park to improve the fan experience in the beer gardens. This year's areas will be larger, have shorter lines, and feature shade tents, views of the stages and food concessions...The second annual ALL POINTS WEST MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL returns to Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey Friday, July 31, Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2. Like last year, bands will play on three stages, except "the Queen of the Valley stage has been changed to a Coachella-like tent creating an environment that will showcase comedy, DJs, electronic acts and bands."
More details on the items above will be posted at the apwfestival.com. The entire lineup (it's good!) and ticket info, below...

Tool is rumored to be playing the 2009 edition of Lollapalooza (August 7-9 in Chicago's Grant Park). That would be in addition to the reunited Jane's Addiction who just seem like a given.
Jane's Addiction are touring with Nine Inch Nails earlier in the summer. NIN won't be playing Lolla though, because they played it last year.
The Pitchfork Festival happens in the same
location city as Lollapalooza one month earlier. A few bands on that lineup were announced earlier today.
Happy veterans day. The key to who is in the pictures above, and a list of other musicians that served in the military (in some capacity at least), below....

Hours later, I was still not feeling any better. I stopped "praying", which at that point was really just me doing a lot of talking to myself, and I became still. "What should I do?", I asked. I sat still and silent for a few moments and just listened. Then a thought came to me: "Maybe you can't change how your body feels, but nothing can stop you from rejoicing and loving God".
So, I put on some music, some songs that praised God. I sat on the floor and sang along. At first I was just singing softly, but gradually, I raised my voice to it's loudest volume and just belted out the words. I felt my heart lift in inspiration...something in me started to glow... a warm surge of joy came over me... and then suddenly, without any warning, I sneezed so hard that I fell over backwards!
I sat upright again and thought, "Wow, where did that come from?" Then I realized that the headache was gone. I felt perfect... and the headache never returned!
"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:" Psalms 92

Greg Bourke, right, and Michael Deleon have filed a federal lawsuit asking for Kentucky to recognize same sex marriages. July 26, 2013
- Filed Under
A federal judge Wednesday struck down Kentucky's ban on recognizing valid same-sex marriages performed in other states, saying it violates the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law.
U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II joined nine other federal and state courts in invalidating such bans.
Ruling in a suit brought by four gay and lesbian couples, Heyburn said that while "religious beliefs ... are vital to the fabric of society ... assigning a religious or traditional rationale for a law does not make it constitutional when that law discriminates against a class ...

Climbing the world's biggest trees: Richard Preston on TED.com
Science writer Richard Preston (he wrote The Hot Zone) talks about some of the most enormous living beings on the planet, the giant trees of the US Pacific Northwest. Growing from a tiny seed, they support vast ecosystems — and are still, largely, a mystery. (Recorded February 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 19:31.) Watch […]Continue reading

Unique To L.A.: Places I Will Miss
Since I decided to move far away from my beloved Los Angeles, I made a list of things I have to do and places I have to go before I leave. I know it's a bit much since I plan on visiting a lot, but these are just a handful of things that make Los Angeles very special to me. If you're moving to Los Angeles or live here already, make sure you check these places out. If you're truly disappointed in any of these places, we can have a debate about it!
The Magic Castle. It's exactly what you think it is, a giant castle-like house sitting near the corner of Franklin and Highland that is home to world's best magicians. What makes this place so amazing is the rich history, the tiny showrooms and the amazing staff. If you enjoy a night out in a cocktail dress and a luxurious dinner, The Magic Castle is the perfect place for this. I have so many great memories at this place – it holds a very special place in my heart. Here is the downside: It's a private club. Members can bring in guests or give out invitations, so ask around – you never know who might be a member!
In-n-Out. This place is a California staple and with good reason! They have homemade style burgers and fries. No frills and no fuss, just a delicious burger every time. It's fresh and satisfying, so expect to find delays in their drive through or in their restaurant, because I can guarantee there will always be a crowd. It might not be unique to LA, but In-n-Out is definitely a California landmark. I think I'll eat here for dinner.
Amoeba Music. In a world where record stores are dying out, Amoeba stands tall. They have a huge variety of new, used, rare and foreign music. There is a large collection of vinyl records, too. Why would you want to go to a record store when you can download music? is what some of you younger kids are probably wondering. Well, that's pretty easy to answer: shopping for CDs is like shopping for anything else – you don't know you want it until you see it. Also, because Amoeba has a huge selection of used music, it's very likely you'll find something you want for $1-$5. Amoeba takes me back to when music stores were the only option we had to buy music… so much nostalgia.
Tierra Mia Coffee. If you're a stickler for good coffee, Tierra Mia delivers. They take traditional Latino drinks, like horchata, and transform it into a coffee based frappe. They take their time to make make the foam art on top of every hot drink, you know, so that you know you're special. Now, the downside: they're deep in the heart of East LA and for most people, that's a far drive. Nonetheless, good coffee is just that – good coffee – so it'll be worth your trip. You should also know that Tierra Mia does not provide wifi in order to preserve the feel of a true coffee shop: a place to sit and relax while reading book, catching up with friends or meeting a date. It won't be the same not living a couple of minutes from Tierra Mia.
Wacko Soap Plant. For everything kitsch, uncouth or simply weird, Wacko is the place to go. From fake mustaches, band-aides for your car or blood splattered shower curtains, Wacko definitely will appeal to your inner weirdo. Located around the corner from the more refined establishments in Los Feliz, Wacko is the place to shop for all your unique décor needs! I have to stop in and buy the gun-handle mug for my new life.
LACMA. My favorite place in Los Angeles by far and one of the best art museums I've ever been to. It is home to thousands of priceless pieces of art. Almost any artist you can think of is likely to have a piece of their work in this museum. They host really cool exhibits like the Tim Burton exhibit and have regular lectures where artists come in and talk about their work. Did I mention there is a movie theater? They show old (and some new) movies that are worth checking out. If you're not an art geek, you can always hang out at their outdoor bar. The drinks are always good.
In my absence, keep all these places warm for me and I hope you fall in love with Los Angeles just like I have.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM)- Two West Michigan churches say a local photographer has not lived up to a deal to provide them with free directories. They contacted 13 On Your Side for help.
"We would call and say where's our directory everything is done and nothing. No emails, no answering of the phone," says Jane Fowler. She's in charge of the directories at Newaygo United Methodist Church. She says the owner of "Great Lakes Photography" offered to take their portraits and provide the directories for free. "He would give us directories. Everybody would get one regardless if they ordered pictures or not."
Months later, the parishioners received their portraits, and Fowler says she sent him the information he requested for the directories. "We got the initial proof, found mistakes, they were sent back, they corrected mistakes. This went on 4 or 5 different times, and it just kept dragging on for weeks, months."
Pastor Jon Riedel says it was a similar story at his church, Newaygo United Congregational Church of Christ. He's frustrated by what's going on. "I am in the forgiving business, don't misunderstand me. But, I'm also in the accountability business. If you're going to make a mistake, own up to it and we can work with it."
Neither church has received their directories, so 13 On Your Side went to the address listed on the letterhead in Grand Rapids. The woman who lived there said she was only an employee and didn't know what was going on. We later talked to the owner, Jay Mingerink. He says that 99% of his directories go out on time, but in this case, the churches in question didn't provide the appropriate information in a timely manner. Mingerink says he has the final copy ready for print. He apologized for any miscommunication and still plans on living up to his promise.
Fowler says she will wait to see. "We're concerned he's doing this to other churches of course, that's a concern. But, but we also want our directories."
The Better Business Bureau does show other complaints dealing with "delivery" for Great Lakes Photography and has given the company an "F" rating.

One Up On Wall Street: How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money In The Market
Simon & Schuster, Apr 3, 2000 - Business & Economics - 304 pages
More than one million copies have been sold of this seminal book on investing in which legendary mutual-fund manager Peter Lynch explains the advantages that average investors have over professionals and how they can use these advantages to achieve financial success.
America's most successful money manager tells how average investors can beat the pros by using what they know. According to Lynch, investment opportunities are everywhere. From the supermarket to the workplace, we encounter products and services all day long. By paying attention to the best ones, we can find companies in which to invest before the professional analysts discover them. When investors get in early, they can find the "tenbaggers," the stocks that appreciate tenfold from the initial investment. A few tenbaggers will turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer.
Lynch offers easy-to-follow advice for sorting out the long shots from the no-shots by reviewing a company's financial statements and knowing which numbers really count. He offers guidelines for investing in cyclical, turnaround, and fast-growing companies.
As long as you invest for the long term, Lynch says, your portfolio can reward you. This timeless advice has made One Up on Wall Street a #1 bestseller and a classic book of investment know-how.

Testing PostGIS 2.0 in Ubuntu
With PostgreSQL's introduction of K-Nearest Neighbor searches in version 9.1, it was only a matter of time until PostGIS implemented GiST idexes for its own data types. That time has come with its upcoming 2.0 release. If you've got a twitch and want to set it up today, here's how to get started. (A great many thanks to the manual which got me a large part of the way there)
Start with a vanilla installation of Ubuntu Server (I'm using version 11.10)
****EDIT 28 February 2012: Link to current snapshot updated.
EDIT 29 February 2012: Added GDAL library dependency.
First, make sure we have the necessary tools installed
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool gettext libxml2-dev libgeos-dev libgdal1-dev proj subversion
Install PostgreSQL 9.1
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1 postgresql-server-dev-9.1
Normally I would want to get the sources directly from the SVN repository, but I was having trouble building from there. There are snapshots available, however, so lets grab that and use it.
wget http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-2.0.0alpha7SVN.tar.gz tar -zxvf postgis-2.0.0alpha7SVN.tar.gz
Now lets navigate into the folder so we can build and install PostGIS
cd postgis-2.0.0SVN ./configure make sudo make install
Congratulations, PostGIS 2.0 is now installed!
And a quick refresher on setting up a PostGIS database:
sudo su postgres psql postgres=# create role myuser with createdb superuser login password 'mypassword'; postgres=# \q exit createdb testdb psql -d testdb -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis.sql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 psql -d testdb -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/contrib/postgis-2.0/spatial_ref_sys.sql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1

The Battle of the Running Backs
Although Super Bowl MVPs tend to be quarterbacks, Super Bowl XXXIII's outcome is likely to be based on the battle of running backs. If Terrell Davis has the big day, the Denver Broncos should repeat as Super Bowl champions. But if Atlanta's Jamal Anderson should bounce back from a disappointing effort in the NFC championship game and outduel Davis, the Falcons may have a shot at upsetting the Broncos.

Incoming Economics Professor Lei Guo holds a B.S. degree in mathematics from Wuhan University in China. Dr. Guo also earned B.A. and M.A. degrees in economics from Wuhan University before coming to U.S. to study. Professor Guo will be coming to the Huntsman School after recently earning his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota.
We interviewed Dr. Guo to learn more about him and his experiences.
There used to be a huge gap in terms of development, living standard, and other factors between my home country (China) and much of the developed world. I felt frustrated, puzzled and sometimes angry by this, and I had tried to explain the cause of China's lagging but found that explanation difficult. I believe that economics has offered the right perspective to answer my question.
The freedom to think and study by myself attracted me to economics. I have also been attracted to the ability to interact with other intellectual souls, with my college and with students. In addition, the opportunity to get great economic ideas across to people is exciting to me.
I mainly focus on the topics of asset pricing and portfolio choice. My economic ideology is focused around positive economics.
I especially enjoyed a math professor I had at Wuhan University named Professor Ye. His style of teaching had great impact on me because he was friendly, intuitive, and full of examples. This is something I try to incorporate in my teaching.
One book in particular has been China: A Macro History by Dr. Ray Huang. To me, this book offers a perspective to look at history. Many people and studies in contemporary history have been dedicated to answer the question of why China is lagging behind the western world. Instead of blaming and criticizing historical figures and groups, this book, among many others by Dr. Huang, offers rationale behind choices of those figures and groups. It reshaped my perspective of economics in the sense that I learned that I prefer offering explanations to seemingly puzzling behavior than to giving instructions on how to behave.
The Jon M. Huntsman School of Business is full of great, open-minded and ambitious leaders. I feel that the Huntsman School has a team of researchers who match my interest, from whom I am sure I can learn a lot. I was also attracted to the opportunity to teach smart, hard-working and disciplined students.

Boalt Hall, Law Schools, LSAT, UVA Law
The law school brain drain is in full effect. Applications from Ivy League graduates are down, and applications are down in general. Last week, my colleague Elie Mystal described the troubling predicament like so: "[T]he students with the best 'logical reasoning skills' as measured by the LSAT are avoiding law school at a higher rate than people at shallow end of the LSAT pool." That being the case, how have top law schools responded to the less than impressive talent pool? By doing the same thing they've always done.
Despite the fact that some of the most well-qualified students are fleeing the law school application game like rats from a sinking ship, T14 law schools are still attracting rather competitive applicants. Unlike the law schools that would reportedly consider admitting applicants with sub-145 LSAT scores, top schools would never deign to lower their elite standards — well, at least not by that much.
While it's still difficult to get into a top law school, it's not quite as difficult as it used to be before the bottom fell out from the entry-level employment market. What do top law schools' LSAT scores look like now compared to three years ago? Let's take a look…
Yesterday, the WSJ Law Blog (sub. req.) addressed this issue by comparing the LSAT 25th/75th percentiles for the Class of 2015 versus the Class of 2012 at five of the best law schools in the country. The results… weren't very interesting. Come on now, did you really think that Yale of all places would sway even slightly from its 170/176 LSAT benchmark?
With the Law Blog's assistance plus some of our own research, we collected admissions data on the Class of 2015 versus the Class of 2012 for a little more than half of the T14. Here's the information:
Yale Law
Class of 2012: 170/176
Class of 2015: 170/176
Harvard Law
Class of 2012: 171/176
Class of 2015: 170/175
Columbia Law
Class of 2012: 170/175
Class of 2015: 170/174
University of Chicago Law
Class of 2012: 169/173
Class of 2015: 167/173
UVA Law
Class of 2012: 165/171
Class of 2015: 164/171
Berkeley Law
Class of 2012: 165/170
Class of 2015: 163/170
Michigan Law
Class of 2012: 167/170
Class of 2015: 166/170
Duke Law
Class of 2012: 167/171
Class of 2015: 166/170
Moving further down the list of the best law schools in the nation, the 25th and 75th LSAT percentiles doesn't seem to fluctuate by much more than one or two points. Don't be so quick to buy into the hype that it's easier to get into law school today, because it looks like it's business as usual in the T14. In fact, a spokesman for Harvard Law just went so far as say that while it's a "great time to apply to top law schools," it's still just as hard to get into the school as it ever was.
At lower-ranked schools, it's another story entirely. Take, for example, Cooley Law. In a time of crisis, its most recent 25th/75th LSAT percentiles were 142/151. We wonder what those numbers will be next year.
Scoring on the LSAT begins at 120, so Cooley has a lot to aspire to, and not in a good way. Luckily, top law schools don't need to concern themselves with such sad propositions.

AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!
Nothing gets Washington atwitter (old-school atwitter, not Twitter) like a good sex scandal.
In the real world, people remember where they were when Kennedy was shot or the space shuttle exploded. In D.C., we remember where we were when we watched the Gov. Jim McGreevey train-wreck of an "I am a gay American" press conference, or heard of Sen. Larry Craig's "wide stance" while on the toilet.
So when Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) announced late Tuesday that he'd had an extramarital affair with a staffer, D.C. was buzzing like we'd all had an extra-shot latte.
Excitement waned, though, when initial details of Ensign's marital infidelity suggested a garden-variety sex scandal. I realized then that the worst part of the story is that sex scandals are so commonplace in politics that a sitting senator announcing he cheated on his wife with a co-worker is not that shocking. It seems a sex scandal has to find fresh new angles (a la Mark Foley or Gary Condit) just to keep our interest.
The larger moral issue is that extramarital affairs have become more acceptable to Americans, which I blame on Bill Clinton. It's still shocking to me that Clinton would have the arrogance to carry on a sexual affair with an intern in the White House. His deficit of morals, disregard of marital vows and disrespect for the office of the presidency forever shifted the nation's views of acceptable sexual behavior for public officials. In the post-Clinton era, the Gary Hart cheating scandal seems downright quaint.
Once the Clinton intern scandal broke, we heard every gross detail of his oral sex in the Oval Office. In fact, the Clinton affair was so over-the-top (but under the desk) and so detailed (remember the blue dress?) that Americans became forever numb to the sex-scandal shocks. (And no, I don't blame Ken Starr or congressional Republicans for making the details public; if Clinton had not had the affair in the first place, there would obviously have been nothing for his critics to investigate and divulge.)
One thing I can't tell you, though, is why it seems that most of the politicians caught in sex scandals tend to be fellow Republicans. We think of ourselves as the party of family values and yet our guys are screwing around; that's embarrassing.
But like I said, both Ds and Rs now need a unique or somehow more salacious angle to get any sustained attention for a sex scandal. So below is my ranking of the best/worst sex scandals in the post-Clinton era, based on the excitement level of jaded D.C. insiders:
1. Former Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) for the "wide stance" excuse, the married-but-secretly-gay possibility, and the details of the bathroom stall.
2. Former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) whose instant messages to boys were so icky we couldn't stop reading.
3. Former Gov. Jim McGreevey (D-N.J.) for the wife who stood at his side during the press conference (until the book came out) and the unforgettable "I am a gay American" line.
4. Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D-N.Y.) because Mr. Rectitude was a hypocrite who had paid for a hooker.
5. Former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) for claiming he cheated on his wife only when her cancer was in remission and for apparently letting a loyal campaign aide pretend to be his girlfriend's baby daddy.
6. Former Rep. Don Sherwood (R-PA) for the 911 calls and police reports that alleged he'd choked his mistress, which Sherwood denied.
7. Former Rep. Vito Fossella (R-N.Y.) for his secret second family.
8. Former Senate candidate Jack Ryan (R-IL) for the pre-election bombshell that derailed his senate race and gave the country President Obama: Ryan's ex-wife reportedly accused him of trying to make her go to sex clubs, according records in the couple's divorce file. He denied the accusation.
9. Former Rep. Ed Schrock (R-VA) for an allegation by a gay activist that the congressman placed gay personal ads.
10. Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) for his phone number in the D.C. Madam's black book and his admission of "sin".
Ensign and his affair, in other words, didn't even make the list. So while almost everyone on the above list has the word "former" preceding their titles, I don't think Ensign will step down. But is it good or bad for the country that this sex scandal is unlikely to end his political career?

I live about an hour away from lake Morena and the ADZPCTKO. I thinking about driving out this Saturday. So my question is; Are the venders worth checking out? And will I feel welcome or this a party for the thruhike community?
The ADZPCTKO (Annual Day Zero Kick Off) is mainly about the current year hikers only it really isn't. Plenty of past and future thru-hikers show up. There are also people who are just PCT groupies. So yes, anyone can just show up and have fun. The only requirement is you care about hiking or about the PCT. The campsites are all full except for 2010 thru-hikers, but there are no problems showing up for a day (please register at the check in desk near the campground entrance so they know you are there, it won't cost you anything).For anyone planning on thru-hiking the PCT, I recommend showing up a year or two before you hike as you can learn alot at the various seminars. When you are actually hiking, its either too late to change or you are too distracted from meeting everyone and partying to really take it in. I attended my first kickoff in 2007, 2 years before I thru-hiked in 2009. I'll be there again this year even though I'm not hiking.What I like about the kickoff vendors, is this is one of the only places you can see ULA's packs first hand and get a proper fitting for them. Gossemer Gear is also always there as is 6 Moon Designs, Henry Hillshire's Tarptent, BearValut and Leki. There are sometimes others. And they are usually always available to answer questions and help with any of their products you may have purchased in the past. As an example, I've seen Henry go through the campground helping people correct how they have their tarptents set up to insure a proper pitch. I just wish MLD would show up.

Go. You'll have a blast.
Thanks for the tip, I had a blast.I thought I would share some Cuban eye candy.
Looks like a cuben gatewood sans the cape part
No hood plus the visible top vent would make it a Cuben version of the SMD Wild Oasis, although I can't see any mesh skirt in this photo.Ron's trying to get into my wallet yet again.
That looks like something my friend made. Was it a 6 moon's tarp or did it just belong to some guy?
Btw, Piper, I think I've commented on this before, but I really like reading your blog.I had fun at the kick-off and kind of wished I was heading out on the PCT though I know I couldn't hang. The JMT is plenty for me. I bought a Murmur from the Gossamer stand, and it's super cool. I don't know where they found the great small buckles. Can't wait to see the new Miniposa this summer.
Yes that was a 6 moon design prototype tarp. I was basically a wild oasis without the bug netting and a Cuban bathtub ground sheet. There was also a hybrid Cuban Dynema pack and Cuban rain jacket. I don't know why I did t get a picture. They were prototype one offs. The guy I talked to said he did not think the tarp would be in production as the production cost was high.
I took a few more photos of the same shelter, as well as the raingear and the pack while I spoke with Ron.He told me the shelter is basically a prototype Hex-Mid that weighs in at 7.5 oz. There are currently no plans to produce it, but that if he did it would be quite expensive. (Note, the experimental cuben / Reflectix pad laying inside it)Next, he said the pack is a cuben / dyneema mix that comes in a 6.5 oz. (Again, no plans for production) I really, really like this one!!Lastly is the cuben raingear. It is patterned after Frog Toggs and weighs 2.7 oz. (No production plans)Way to think outside the box with cuben, Ron!

July 16 – 19, 2015 at Snow Mountain Ranch in Fraser, CO
2015 Directors: Sharon Blender, Jean Monahan, Jules Micheli
Cambodian Heritage Camp (CamHC) is the only culture camp in the U.S. specifically for Cambodian-born adoptees and their families. Now in its 13th year, CamHC takes place at Snow Mountain Ranch in Fraser, Colorado, over 4 days in mid-July. Families travel from across the U.S. and internationally to join each other for this "extended family" event. We are joined by our outstanding network of Cambodian-American volunteers from Colorado and both coasts who share their cultural heritage through their participation as camp counselors, workshop leaders and presenters.
Our theme for CamHC 2015 is Khmerican #khmerpride.
Khmerican #khmerpride will integrate the delights and challenges of being Cambodian-born and American-raised. It will include the nature of identity as each person perceives it and will also acknowledge the reality of how others perceive this dual-identity.
Programming is in the earliest stages and will be developed by this year's Directors and CamHC coordinators in the coming months. It may include workshops featuring:
- how to use comedy when faced with stereotypes
- "reclamation cuisine" (foods that are Khmer in origin which are often mislabeled as another type of Asian cuisine)
- possibly some current award-winning movies about the golden age of Khmer cinema and other documentaries by contemporary Khmer filmmakers
- Khmer basics, including: translations and meanings of given Khmer names
- opportunities to use common greetings and phrases for social settings
- interactive sessions spanning the arts, sports, and more.
In addition it may include workshops about the American side of being Khmerican, opportunities our campers may have to contribute as Americans who are Cambodian-born.
As always, we will explore the unique gifts and challenges that come with being transracial adoptive families. As our children grow, they will be dealing with issues faced by every child of color, no matter their country of birth. At camp, our children are with families just like theirs and they are surrounded by campers, counselors and community members who look like them. We enthusiastically celebrate their birth county, and we also celebrate adoption as a culture of its own. The impact and importance of being with families "just like theirs" at camp cannot be understated. It creates bonds between our children and our families that may not easily found in our communities and other areas of our daily lives.
Family Day: If you can arrive early, plan to participate in "Family Day" activities starting Wednesday evening, July 15th. There will be various family and group activities offered leading up to our official camp kick-off Thursday evening, July 16th. We begin with our popular all camp BBQ dinner (optional) at 5pm Thursday July 16th. This is a great time to kick back and get reacquainted with old friends and meet new ones while enjoying a great meal. Cambodian Heritage Camp Opening Ceremonies follow at 7pm, and camp programming continues through Sunday morning, July 19th.

Perfect slippers
By staciawal
from Stratham, NH
I specifically requested these for a Christmas gift and LOVE them. I wear them constantly and only (regretfully) take them off when I need to go out of the house. I've been looking for a truly comfortable pair of slippers for a long time, and these are ideal. They have just enough arch support, are adjustable (I find most slippers too wide) and have a slight heel. To be 100% truthful, I'd actually like a slightly higher heel, but these are still very good. I loved this gift so much that I immediately bought them for a friend who has plantar fasciitis and she is ecstatic about them. Great product! Will buy again.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Definitely a prudent purchase
By Maggie the Writer
from Port Alberni, British Columbia, Canada.
I find this very beneficial although I have only worn it for less than two hours a day for the two weeks I have had it. Very comfortable. I notice, however, that my problem heel is wearing the slipper slightly unevenly, as if I need side support (like a shoe). I will see how it continues to wear.

I'll be buying more of these.
By Sarah
from Los Angeles, CA
I was having extreme foot/heel pain due to plantar fasciitis. After just one evening wearing these slippers my pain eased dramatically!
Love at first step/
By Cathy
from Lexington Park, MD
I put the slippers on as soon as the arrived and the pain in my feet has disappeared. The slippers are comfortable and I wear them at all times when I am at home. Love the ease with which I can put and take off the slippers. The pain in my arches had gotten really bad and now it is gone.
Good overall support
By Mainy
from Granby, CT
Seems to ease the pain of plantar fasciitis. The arch support helps a lot as well. I look forward each day to removing my shoes and putting on these slippers.
Pretty heavy and hot
By Marmama
from Dallas Texas
These are winter slippers.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By Zapata
from Middletown, MD
I JUST LOVE THEM!!!! They are so helpful and comfortable.
Not as promised
By Orelse
from New Hampshire
These slippers are very uncomfortable and did not help my plantar fasciitis , as advertised.

Sole is hard as a rock.
By Sharon
from Sacramento CA
The bottom of the slipper is so hard and the arch so oversized, I knew within 30 seconds of having them on my feet that they would be too uncomfortable for me.
