"From Songwriters to Soundmen: The People Behind the Hits" gives Rock Hall audiences an inside look at aspects of the music business that are often concealed from view.
For those who wonder how songs become recordings, how recordings become hits, or how the show gets on the road, this series offers both answers and anecdotes beyond imagination.
From label executives to producers to guitar techs, the music industry is populated with remarkable characters who have equally remarkable stories to tell. If many of us know a whole lot about the stars, too few among us know about the folks who work alongside the stars, who discover stars, who direct the careers of stars, who produce their songs.

ZF-9675: Using _postInsert() to save() creates an infinite loop - Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract
If save() is triggered by _postInsert() (within the function itself or by code it executes), an infinite loop is created. This happens because _refresh(), which creates clean data, is called AFTER postInsert() and the save() function determines if it's calling an insert or an update based on the presence of clean data. When it doesn't find clean data (because _refresh() hasn't been called yet), it calls insert() (again), which calls _postUpdate() (again), which creates an infinite loop.
You can fix the problem by manually calling _refresh() from within _postUpdate() before a save() is called, but I suspect any developer who runs into this issue will spend a few hours cursing before he figures that out.
It should be fixed.
I'm also having this issue.
I can't think of any case where it would cause a problem (off the top of my head), but maybe you could move the _postInsert() call to after the _refresh() call?

I drive a 2012 GMC Sierra 3500HD crew cab, long bed, 4X4 dually. The truck came with these tires from the factory. The tires have over 57,000 miles on them and between 7/32 and 8/32 tread left (14/32 when new). Mileage is 90% solo, 10% hauling a 16,000 lb. 42' 5th wheel. Ride and stability is great, loaded or unloaded. They are very sure-footed in the rain - no worries of hydroplaning. They are also better than average in the snow, based on probably 200,000 miles in winter weather on other brands. They are a little noisy, but they are All Terrain. I'm getting my second set in a couple of days. The only reason I'm replacing them is that the sidewalls are checked pretty bad and I don't want to haul with them any more. Michelin is standing behind their product with a 52% total pro-rated discount on the tires through the GMC dealer. That says a lot. These are great tires. I hope the new ones don't check as bad.

From said "Christian" nothing can be heard and seen. Be careful when price comparison with other apartments. The standing offer price is a minimum price for whenever. Trip insurance you pay with unasked. The booking confirmation you get from a Swiss recruitment firm. Contact by email then you have, however, only with the "maybe" Wohnungsbesitzerin.Die handover again makes someone else who is not the English language. The apartment is spacious and the decor acceptable. Coffee machine must not expect no Wifi, the TV only speaks Italian. Well, these are of course just expectations.
What is certainly not ok: right behind the house runs the highway. The statement "quiet street" is very daring.
The bed was a disaster. The sagging of the grate was offset by an under-laid board. Low back pain do not belong to a restful holiday. And a new rust does not cost the world.
When we moved into the apartment in a 2-storey house not inhabited, was the indoor and outdoor temperature 0 ° C. Hospitality?
For separately payable gas consumption (heating, stove) were on offer 1.50 euros / liter indicated. This would have at 23 cubic meters of consumption means that we have to pay for 23,000 liters of gas consumption (physics!) Would have 34500 Euro. We've got really feared everything including a pistol to the head. During settlement were then calculated by referring to the liter price 3,50 Euro / cubic meter of us. Although not comprehensible, but we were glad to get away with a light slap on the wrist.
In the end, you pay for the many intermediary tons of money without getting for reasonable performance.
The truly private landlord in Naples did not used forever until they have responded or canceled on the date (Year). We have therefore perforce booked the apartment with immediate confirmation and regretted it. Torrre Annunziata is in a desolate condition. The only place to Naples, which is really neat and on northern Italian standard, Sorrento.
Von besagtem "Christian" ist nichts zu hören und zu sehen. Vorsicht beim Preisvergleich mit anderen Wohnungen. Der im Angebot stehende Preis ist ein Mindestpreis für wann auch immer. Eine Reiserücktrittsversicherung bezahlt man ungefragt mit. Die Buchungsbestätigung bekommt man von einer Schweizer Vermittlungsfirma. Kontakt per email hat man dann allerdings nur noch mit der "vielleicht" Wohnungsbesitzerin.Die Wohnungsübergabe macht wieder jemand anderes, der nicht der englischen Sprache mächtig ist. Die Wohnung ist geräumig und die Einrichtung akzeptabel. Kaffemaschine darf man nicht erwarten, auch kein Wifi, der Fernseher spricht nur italienisch. Gut, das sind natürlich nur Erwartungen.
Was sicher nicht ok ist: direkt hinter dem Haus verläuft die Autobahn. Die Aussage "ruhige Seitenstrasse" ist schon sehr gewagt.
Das Bett war eine Katastrophe. Das Durchhängen des Rostes wurde durch ein untergelegtes Brett kompensiert. Kreuzschmerzen gehören nicht zu einem erholsamem Urlaub. Und ein neuer Rost kostet nicht die Welt.
Als wir die Wohnung in einem nicht bewohnten 2stöckigen Haus bezogen, betrug die Innen- und Außentemperatur 0°C. Gastfreundschaft ?
Für den separat zu bezahlenden Gasverbrauch (Heizung, Herd) waren im Angebot 1,50 Euro / Liter angegeben. Dies hätte bei 23 Kubikmetern Verbrauch bedeutet, das wir für 23000 Liter Gasverbrauch (Physik !) 34500 Euro hätten bezahlen müssen. Wir haben da wirklich alles einschließlich einer Pistole am Kopf befürchtet. Bei der Abrechnung wurden uns dann mit dem Hinweis auf den Literpreis 3,50 Euro / Kubikmeter berechnet. Zwar nicht nachvollziehbar, aber wir waren froh, mit einem hellblauen Auge davonzukommen.
Im Endeffekt zahlt man für die vielen Vermittler jede Menge Geld,ohne dafür eine vernünftige Leistung zu bekommen.
Die wirklich privaten Vermieter in Neapel haben leider ewig gebraucht, bis sie reagiert haben oder zu dem Termin (Silvester) abgesagt. Wir haben deshalb notgedrungen die Wohnung mit Sofortzusage gebucht und es bereut. Torrre Annunziata ist in einem desolaten Zustand. Der einzige Ort um Neapel, der wirklich sehr gepflegt und auf norditalienischen Standard ist, ist Sorrent.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
In the apartment, it is calm at night in spite of it's central location and insufficient windows' sound proofing.
Also insufficient is room lighting, shutters of the kitchen cabinet are not arranged well, there is mold in the shower cabin.
But the Fountain Trevi district is an excellent place in Rome, and if you are not very captious you will enjoy this place to stay.

In commemoration of California Music Month, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and K·Swiss pay tribute to the artists, groups, and movements that helped shape its sounds.
It's hard to imagine California without Brian Wilson. He may not have been the one to put the state on the map, but he did much for our perception of it as a surfer's mecca under a perpetual summer sun. Back in the '60s, the Beach Boys' intricate harmonies vividly evoked an endless paradise. The music they made continues to thrill generations of fans worldwide — even the ones surrounded by land, with nary a beach in sight.
Appropriately, Wilson was born in the summer, on June 20, 1942, in Inglewood, California, the eldest child of Murry and Audree Wilson. He was joined two years later by a brother, Dennis. The growing family then moved seven miles south, to the city of Hawthorne, where final Wilson brother, Carl, arrived in 1946.
Visitors to the house at 3701 West 119th Street would have instantly seen how important music was to the Wilson family. It went way beyond the piano in the living room. Murry was something of a composer himself, although ...

Technology Transfer
Engineers and chemists began exploring ways to add rubber to asphalt in the 1920s and came up with several processes to produce what's known generically as rubberized asphalt. In the "wet process," crumb rubber (shown) is blended at high temperatures with liquid asphalt and other binders. "Asphalt rubber" refers to a specific material containing at least 15% ground rubber as defined in ASTM D6114-97 (2002). Photos: Rubber Pavements Association
Mix temperatures for asphalt rubber are slightly higher than conventional hot mixes, and workability is limited. The material should be at least 350° F for placement and fully finished before the temperature gets below 275° F. Such requirements mean that steel-wheeled rollers must be used for compaction.
In 2002, Arizona DOT placed 1 inch of asphalt rubber on a stretch of concrete pavement that carries 150,000 vehicles/ day. The resulting reduction in traffic noise—averaging 3 to 5 decibels—was so striking that the public clamored for more. By the end of that year, the department announced it would install the overlay on all 115 miles of the state's freeways.
At least one state has figured out how to preserve deteriorated pavement to provide a smooth, safe, long-lasting surface that reduces traffic noise and tire wear—all while putting millions of scrap tires to good use.
It sounds almost too good to be true, but proponents say asphalt rubber allows agencies to do just that. And judging from the Arizona DOT's (ADOT) more than 20 years of experience overlaying asphalt rubber on concrete and asphalt pavements, those proponents are right.
One of the main advantages of an asphalt rubber friction course, or ARFC, is its thinness. Just 1 inch needs to be applied over portland cement concrete pavement, and just 1/2 inch is needed over existing asphalt.
Used in a friction course, asphalt rubber costs about $2.15/square yard, compared to $1.55/square yard for conventional mixes. A durable, smooth-riding surface can be restored without changing the basic road geometry, drainage pattern, or other factors such as curb and gutter configuration.
ADOT is considered the pioneer of using this budget-stretching technology to preserve and prolong pavement life.
In 1964, Phoenix began using rubberized asphalt and gravel as a chip seal for city streets. Though successful in preserving the pavement,
the program was discontinued in 1989 because of potential damage to cars by loose gravel. So the city began using an asphalt rubber hot mix to add a 1-inch overlay to streets. The material exhibited several advantages:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed a mix design procedure for open-graded friction courses and began promoting their use to improve the friction resistance of asphalt pavements in the mid-1970s. These overlays also were designed to drain quickly in rainy weather and improve safety by increasing traction and reducing water spray that impedes driver visibility.
Many state DOTs used the FHWA procedure, but with varying results. Several states, particularly those that used conventional asphalt binders, experienced performance problems such as premature raveling of the surface, debonding, and stripping in underlying layers, and they gave up on open grades. Although FHWA revised the mix design procedure in 1990, most states with previously unsatisfactory experiences didn't resume their use.
In Arizona, on the other hand, asphalt rubber was used as the binder for friction courses, producing a much more durable product. When highway officials became aware of the reduction in tire noise, they began researching that area as well.
During the 1990s, Phoenix resurfaced more than 200 miles of streets with 450,000 tons of rubberized asphalt created from about 1.1 million old tires. The state DOT has used more than 4.2 million tons since 1988, recycling about 15 million old tires in the process.

Voting goes live for the 7th Pocket-lint Gadget AwardsPocket-lint
Voting for the 7th Pocket-lint Gadget Awards has now gone live, giving you the chance to say which gadgets you think should be crowned top for 2010.
As you will see over on the voting page, each of the 10 categories has five products that have been nominated as the best of the year in their field.
We need your help to narrow those down to find the overall winners, the result of which will be announced at our awards ceremony in London on 8 December.
How the voting works
Unlike some awards, where it's either all public and no experts, all experts and no public, or just members of the editorial and advertising departments, we like to do things differently here at Pocket-lint.
This year, building on the successful system we've used for the last 6 annual awards, we're adding even more input from even more sources to make sure that the gadgets that win, really are the best gadgets and products - meaning you can be confident to go out and buy.
Your help
Yep, we need your help to work out what these best gadgets are, and what better way to do that than to ask the people that have laid down the cash to purchase them in the first place. To help us, all you need to do is head over to our voting page and mark each product out of 5. Don't worry if you don't want to score all of them, or if you haven't a clue as to what some of them even are - we've got a clever system for balancing that out.
Once your scores are in, we then tally those results up and the product with the highest score is voted through. We think this is the fairest way of doing it as that means you aren't rating the products against each other, but on their own merit instead.
Your vote will count towards 10 per cent of the overall scores for each gadget nominated.
Journalists from around the world
Rather than just rely on what we think, we also ask our peers from the industry around the globe. This year we're hoping to get over 100 votes from experts who know what they're talking about.
While many want to get involved, many of their bosses don't let them for fear of Pocket-lint being a better publication, and these journalists, being seen as supporting us, could then lose their jobs (silly we know). Because of that, we have a public list of judges and a Black Ops one. Last year over 50 journalists had to be in the Black Ops list.
Votes from journalists from around the world will count towards 60 per cent of the overall scores for each gadget nominated.
Elite panel
As a final piece to the puzzle we have an elite panel of judges in the UK that will get together and discuss the nominations over an evening, before rating them. They are rated in exactly the same way as the public and online votes, but we weight their opinions more heavily. These are the crème de la crème of the UK gadget press, and trust us when we say they know what they are talking about.
This year's judges include:
Claudine Beaumont - The Telegraph
Mark Prigg - The Evening Standard
David Phelan - Freelancer for The Sunday Times, Independent, and Time Out
James Holland - Electricpig.co.uk
Chris Davies - Slashgear
Nate Lanxon - Wired
Tom Philips - Metro
Stuart O'Connor - The Guardian
Stuart Miles - Pocket-lint
Chris Hall - Pocket-lint
Rik Henderson - Pocket-lint
Dan Sung - Pocket-lint
The elite judges' vote will count towards 30 per cent of the overall scores for each gadget nominated.
Get voting
So what are you waiting for, head over to the voting page now where you'll find really simple instructions on how to cast your vote.
Stay tuned for the results on 8 December.

You probably know where I'm going with this—yes, I'm going to make one boy quilt and one girl quilt, to be distributed as needed after the babies are born. If they are both girls or both boys, at least I only have to do one quilt after-the-fact. And I have three more friends who are hoping to be pregnant any minute, so I know the unused quilt will find a home sooner or later.
So here's the first. This is my crib-size version of the Chain Linked pattern by Amy Smart at Diary of a Quilter. One of the two babies' nurseries will be almost entirely white and cream, so I wanted to do something with that two-tone component. Amy's pattern was perfect for that (I used Kona White and Kona Ivory). And if the other baby ends up with this quilt, it's still neutral enough that it should go with any décor. I just love how the geometric-ness of this pattern works with the geometric-ness of the Modern Meadow prints. And I think I just created a new word—geometricness! Now I just have to figure out how I want to quilt it.
And hey—look what I picked up yesterday! They finished it a whole day early. Let the binding begin!
Last but not least, don't forget about my giveaway!

Attendees awed over the enchanting rustic setup as a living statue greeted them at the entrance. They walked in through a custom ranch entrance and sipped cocktails on the piazza, which was outfitted with split-rail fencing, cocktail tables with square wooden tops, and colorful cactus and desert wildflower centerpieces. And the model disguised as a Remington Bronze was the perfect complement to the cowboy-inspired evening. –Photography by Dylan York

Here at Quill, we sell a huge variety of printers, shredders and other machines for the office, and we know how important it is to find high-quality products that you can rely on. We're all busier than ever, and wasting precious time on a malfunctioning machine is enough to ruin anyone's workday schedule. Our selection of paper shredders and accessories has been chosen to make your life easier. A heavy-duty paper shredding machine is your best bet for avoiding jams and stalls without having to painstakingly hand-feed each individual page through the machine one at a time.
Even as we move further and further into the digital world, no home or office can afford to be without a quality shredder. Paper is still a big part of our lives, whether we like it or not, and safeguarding privacy is just as important offline as it is in the cloud. Identity theft remains a real threat, and keeping fraud at bay requires diligence. We rely on complex encryption to protect our sensitive information online, but when it comes to disposing of old-fashioned documents, paper shredders can't be topped.
Whether you're working in a doctor's or lawyer's office and need to be compliant with privacy regulations, or you're just at home cleaning out your old bank statements, make sure your shredder is up to the job. What level of security do you need? There are four basic levels of shredder security. P-2, or strip-cut, shredders are fine for basic security. Cross-cut paper shredders are known as P-3 or P-4, depending on the size of the pieces. They reduce documents to unreadable confetti. Micro-cut shredders are the safest option available to most offices. Known as P-5 shredders, they obliterate personal information in one fell swoop. P7 shredders provide the very highest level of security and are government-approved for the disposal of classified and top-secret documents.

I decided to chase after my electric youth by seeing Deborah "no longer Debbie" Gibson at Parliament House during Gay Days last Friday. The pop singer, that helped pave the way (with a girl named Tiffany) for then toddlers Britney and Christina back in the '80s, still knows how to "shake it" even though she's approaching her electric middle age.
But that's not what I'm going to write about here. Well maybe a little. It was a fantastic time, I sang and danced and stared in awe during the opening act, The Footlight Players. Although extremely talented, a couple of performers have bigger breasts than me and I'm no slouch. Deborah not only sang her hits from the late '80s such as "Shake Your Love" and one of my favorites "In Your Eyes," she also threw in some Broadway musical numbers such as "Big Spender" from "Sweet Charity" and "Maybe This Time" from "Cabaret."
No, what I want to write about is how I experienced one of the most shocking moments I've had during my tenure about writing nightlife in Orlando this same night. And it had nothing to do with Gay Days or Debbie's voice (which I enjoyed just fine). What shocked me was what was on the check that was handed to me at the end of the evening.
As we all know, I'm no stranger to drinking around town. I have a good idea of how much drinks should cost depending on what area you're in. That's why they pay me the, ahem, big bucks (I wish).
So when I say Walt Disney World has never charged me as much as Parliament House did on Friday for the types of drinks I ordered you know there's a problem. My guests and I had six vanilla vodka and pineapples and one "Sex On The Beach." They were big drinks, but I figured that was the size they were doing for Gay Days. Not once was I asked by the bartender if I wanted a single, a double or a tall double (supposedly they have them there). The liquor wasn't top shelf or premium, I was fine with well liquor. So when I was handed a bill that maxed out over$80 I was obviously very shocked.
I corrected him and let him know my friends and I only had six basic mixed drinks (normally $3.50 – $4) and one more slightly more advanced mixed drink (normally $4 – $4.50). That's when he told me they were doubles. First of all, I never asked for a double and I was never told they were doubles by the bartender which is a big no no in my book. Someone orders something give them what they ordered, if you want to up sell them, ask them!
I was never asked and on top of it the drinks came out to $12 per, which means normally a single is $6 which is insanely overpriced. I asked him if these were Gay Days prices and he said no. Although my friend who ordered the "Sex On The Beach" said his first was $10 for a single at an outside tent but the bartender was nice enough to let him know before he completed the order.
Obviously the bartender doesn't want to rob people blind. I'm not going to mention the bar this happened to me in on this public forum (there are several bars around Parliament House, especially during Gay Days) because it's not my goal to get anyone in trouble. I've been to Parliament House before and have always had a great time when I go. This was a first that unfortunately ended what was a fantastic night.
Let's just say it came out of the blue.

Check out my ratings site!
What a dump.
I had no idea that Northern Illinois had that big of a stadium.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
Just removing the track would have made that place 300% better.
If UW ever gets to playing over .500 ball again, that stadium will be nasty loud. Closer seating plus roof above main decks....whoooeeeee.
I was out there when they were remodeling it. It looked pretty cool.
2016 Photoshopper of the Year
I'm sure that place will be electric for Saturday night's game with Boise State and also when Oregon comes in October.
I'd love to see a game there

I was checking out some old Youtube videos of past games in Hilton. Noticed a group of guys wearing some yellow and red 'barn gloves'. I don't know if this was ever a big thing in the past, but I was thinking this would be really cool if everybody was wearing them. Check it out at about the 2:55 mark. Thoughts...

Bansko : Michelin's recommendations
Bansko is undoubtedly one of Bulgaria's most sought-after winter sports resorts. Situated in a region where wolves and bears abound, it boasts an exceptional location in the heart of a valley surrounded by three symbolic mountains (Rila, Pirin, Rhodope), beneath the famous Vikhren Peak (2 914m). However, the small city has not grown out of proportions. Crisscrossed by cobbled streets lined with many noble old houses, it has retained the charm of a museum-town.

I'm trying to prove that the squared Brownian motion $(W_t^2)$ doesn't have independent increments, I tried using the covariance and it doesn't quite work, can anybody give me any pointer to how to prove this?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Fix some $t\gt s\gt0$ and consider the event $A=[W_t^2\gt W_s^2]$. Then $\mathrm P(A\mid W_s^2=0)=1$ and $\mathrm P(A\mid W_s^2=x)\to\frac12$ when $x\to+\infty$, hence the map $x\mapsto\mathrm P(A\mid W_s^2)$ is not constant.
In particular, $W_t^2-W_s^2$ and $W_s^2$ are not independent.
Let $0<s<t$. Consider the difference: $$ W_t^2 - W_s^2 = \left( W_t-W_s \right) \left( W_t + W_s \right) = \left( W_t-W_s \right) \left( 2 W_s + (W_t - W_s) \right) $$ By the properties of the Brownian motion, $W_t - W_s$ is independent of $W_s$, but $W_t^2-W_s^2$ explicitly depends on $W_s$, hence $W_t^2-W_s^2$ is not independent on $W_s^2$.

Beautiful book!

About Me Bookworm
Best Uses
Comments about Daily Joy:
Bought this as part of a gift for somebody I did not know very well for part of a "pay it forward" project I was involved in. She said it was "absolutely perfect." I admit I looked at all the pictures and read the quotes before I gave it away and it is an excellent little book. Very fat, sturdy and well-made. Nice, attractive hard-cover. The pictures, of course, are beautiful and the quotes well-chosen from a variety of types and sources. I loved the thematic groupings for time of year as well. Well worth the price. I would definitely consider this again as a gift or for the table in my own office. The best part is, with a different one for every day, a person can easily get to the end of the year and start all over again from the beginning without feeling like it is tedious repetition.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Seeing it all over Twitter. Big loss for ISU T&F and CC.
Looks like story broke by @BJRains on Twitter, Idaho Press-Tribune writer
Last edited by CyFan61; 06-14-2013 at 02:46 PM.
Wow - wonder what happened. Here's his quote from the Boise State website -didn't know he lived there at one time there prior to ISU: "After having lived and trained in Boise as a distance runner, I strongly believe that the programs at Boise State can become a national powerhouse," Ihmels said. "With everything that the University and the city have to offer, there is an incredible amount of untapped potential for these programs. I am excited to bring my passion for developing national-class track and field and cross country student-athletes to Boise State."

Big 12 to MWC? That seems a tad odd to me.
if there's bad news at iowa state, I know tornado man will be there to tell me all about it.
I will say that Boise is a nice location. I was surprised how much I liked the city.
This sucks big time.
I hope our distance program doesn't slip. I am sure the draw of coaching Emma Bates helped sway his opinion. Adding another name like that to his resume of coached athletes would definitely enhance things. Several other AAs returning as well. Its possible that this just turned into a Sanderson situation where Boise came with a check that ISU couldn't meet. Plus we lose a fair amount of talent after this season on Women and our Men's team has been a couple of steps behind them for a while. I love our distance identity and we are likely not going to get the sprinters to come up North when powerhouse programs are going after them. Distance athletes help out in two sports and three seasons... hopefully we can nab a good name to continue that development.
Yeah this really really sucks for our Athletic department as a whole. How many points did M&W T&F and XC contribute to directors cup? A lot.
I wonder what our budget is for all the sports he was coaching? He got a brand new state of the art outdoor track, a really good indoor track, and an excellent XC course close to campus.
Must be salary? You'd think we could pony up a few more bucks than Boisie St?!

EADA Search
According to the EADA website, in 2011-2012 BSU's AD spent $26,862,366. ISU's AD spent $55,154,127. For reference, PSU'S AD spent $94,201,202.
I can see PSU coming with a check that ISU can't match. But BSU???
Losing head coaches to a school with an AD budget like BSU's over money would be embarrassing, no matter what the sport is. I would really like to know the scoop behind this one.

Unless Boise State really upped the salary for Corey, the salary looks comparable. Actually less at Boise.
Looks like Ihmels made $122K at ISU last year.
JW Hardy was making $95,000 at Boise in FY2010, which is the last data I could find. $85,010 base salary.
Corey would have been at $105K in 2010.
If it was money, what would it take for ISU not to match? $200K + ?
Definitely seems sudden.
From Pollard to the athletes forwarded Track/CC letterwinners.
Dear Cross Country and Track and Field Student Athletes,
As many of you recently heard, Coach Ihmels has decided to leave Iowa State University for another coaching position. While we are certainly sad to see Corey leave Iowa State University, we also respect his personal decision and desire to live in that part of the country.
I also realize many of you have concerns and questions about what the future holds for each of you and for our program. Although there will be more questions than answers in the short term, I want each of you to take comfort in the following:
There is not another program in the country that has an Athletics Administration that cares about and knows more about your sport than our administration. You have my personal commitment that hiring a new coach is going to be our number one focus. In fact, I have already been in contact with several potential coaches and I am confident we will find a coach that will not only continue our outstanding tradition, but will help elevate our program to the next level.
We are not the first program nor are we the last program to experience a change in our head coach. We will get through this together and we will have a new coach on board as quickly as possible.
If you have any specific questions or concerns, please direct them to Calli Sanders (firstname.lastname@example.com) or 515-294-3706. Calli will serve as the point person for most of your questions as I will be dedicating my time to conducting the search for our new head coach.
Go Cyclones!

Wow. Big loss. At least he raised our program to where it should be attractive to others.

This is so true - thanks for the post!
Hate to see him go. He has brought the ISU programs back. I hope they can find a strong replacement.
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".
