The 5 Worst Kinds of Album Every Music Fan Has Bought
An album is like a pizza, and as much as I like to buy single slices now and then, I really feel that it's the full pizza that represents the best dining experience. You lift the lid on a little square box and therein lies a disc divided into 10 or so segments, and what you want is for all those segments to taste the same (though inevitably even the best pizza has that one slice where the dough formed a huge bubble and everybody keeps passing over it in hopes it'll somehow go away). And so it is with albums, too.
But sometimes you open that box and the disc inside just isn't what you ordered, and you didn't think they could find a way to ruin such a nominally straightforward experience, but goddammit, you were wrong. Few things are as outright sad and bemusing as a bad pizza (if you don't know what I mean, just go to Domino's and ask for THE ANYTHING), but a bad album certainly is, and here's a list of some of the worst kinds and why they're bad.
#5. The Urban Sombrero
There's an episode of Seinfeld where a character's hubris results in the marketing of a hideously ill-conceived article of clothing that she can't see is the worst idea ever until it's too late. This article of clothing is the urban sombrero, and it's my go-to metaphor for the inevitably terrible result of assuming you can do no wrong. And much like blind self-belief results in terrible metaphorical hats, it also results in terrible art (I will type "George Lucas" and you will finish the thought), and many terrible albums.
An urban sombrero album is sometimes a band's first release following their overnight success. After years of drudgery, their second album managed to fulfill some kind of cultural need, and it took off into the stratosphere -- taking with it their sense of validation. Suddenly it's been 18 months since anybody had the balls to say no to them, and into this echo chamber comes the call to get working on the next album. The members of the band gradually arrive at the studio, all in separate vehicles now, and eventually an album begins to emerge, and the band thinks it's great and the engineer says it's great and the producer says it's great and the label guys say it's great and the early reviews say it's great and the message boards say it's great because everyone wants it to be great. But slowly they realize it's not great -- it's a great big Mexican hat.
It's soulless and uninspired, it's the musical equivalent of latter-day James Cameron or Stephen King, it's cocaine literally pressed into the shape of discs and accompanied by liner notes and Johnny Depp on slide guitar. It's what happens when you think you're successful because of who you are rather than what you've made, and thus you don't need editors because whatever you make will be brilliant. Hopefully making a real sombrero of an album will drag you back to earth in time to save your integrity (OR NOT).
#4. The Bait and Switch
This is when an album might be brilliant in its own right but is ruined for you by expectations -- typically via a lead single and/or video that's misleadingly different from everything else on the album. It's not that they're bad songs, it's that you were understandably expecting one thing but then got the opposite, and thus it's one of the worst kinds of album.
The other side of this is the Reverse Bait and Switch, where you miss out on something good because the packaging is so lame. Let's just say you'd have a wider variety of albums if entire genres of talent weren't so often undermined by asinine marketing -- soullessly polished videos and album cover photos that Cosmopolitan would reject as too Photoshopped. Such visual autotune gives little but the false impression that an album lacks depth when it seldom actually does (even the most airbrushed top 40 singers have amazing session musicians all over their records). Worthless douche-rock albums from the dregs of musical society should be the ones with imbecilic glamour shots of the lead singer's face on the cover, thus scaring off small children and anyone rightly expecting a terrible album.
#3. The Greatest Hits
But how can an album of someone's best songs be bad? Because it's the same as a pizza where every slice has a different topping -- great in theory, but then you have one slice and you want more of that flavor, but no, fuck you, it's on to the next flavor, and moreover pesto just tastes off after a mouthful of pineapple. The greatest hits were much better on the original album when they were perfectly complemented by the songs before and after.
It's the same way you counterintuitively don't get a wonderful dinner by getting out the blender and combining unrelated ingredients that you like individually (I HAVE RUN THE TESTS), or how you don't get a beautiful city by insanely putting random buildings next to each other (stop by Toronto sometime if you don't believe me -- it is the greatest hits of cities). Sticking all the hits together and pressing play just gets you jarring incongruity. Traditionally bands have slaved over putting together a set of songs that flows together properly, sometimes leaving great songs off albums because they don't fit, and this is exactly why. Combine that with the fact that the "Best Of" album is guaranteed to not have your favorite song on it (not everyone knows it, that's why it's your favorite) and you've got yourself one of the worst kinds of album. Although it's still not as bad as ...

Attorney: Papers will be served in abuse case
Victims claiming negligence on part of Catholic institutions
January 30, 2013
ALTOONA, Pa....
Child predators need to be kept far away from kids forever... BUT, an even more powerful danger is when high ranking officials enable, empower, and cover up these sex crimes against kids. They need to be held responsible for allowing more innocent kids to be sexually abused. Child sex abuse thrives in secrecy and secret systems that allow it to continue to this day, so hopefully anyone who has knowledge or may have been harmed by Brother Stephen Baker, will have the courage to come forward and contact the "police", not the church officials. They are not the proper officials to be investigating child sex crimes..
Also keep in mind your silence only hurts, and by speaking up there is a chance for healing, exposing the truth, and therefore protecting others. For information about SNAP's monthly confidential group support meetings, pls contact: Youngstown SNAP Leader Jerry Arnal, ph- 330-718-6226; jerryarnal@yahoo**** There is hope.

This is worse than the Jerry Sandusky child rape cases and PSU cover-up. There must be hundreds of victims of this pedophile and child rapist over the 20 years the complicit Catholic Church gave him free access to his many victims in OH and PA. Abuse in the hallway seen by children?! And no one in authority blew the whistle on this monster who would have saved many kids a life of pain had he committed suicide 20 years ago.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
All students taking a course that is completely online pay the same tuition as a Wisconsin resident, regardless of residency.
Most communication in an online course is through e-mail and discussion boards within the Desire2Learn (D2L) course management site. Learn@UW River Falls is the name for our implementation of Desire2Learn.
Some courses are designed as independent study courses, and you will have very little, if any, interaction with other students. In other courses, discussion among students is an essential component and you will participate in discussion boards or chat rooms.
UWRF also offers "blended" courses where you will have face-to-face meetings combined with online activities.
You can participate in an online course anywhere there is a computer with Internet access. Most activities use an asynchronous format, which means you can read and post messages at times that are convenient to you. Some courses are designed so you can complete them at your own pace; others will have set due dates by which you must have completed certain assignments.
There is no difference between how a traditional class and an online class is listed on your transcript. You can expect to do a similar amount of work in an online class as you would in a traditional face-to-face class.
Even though you may never come to the UW-River Falls campus, you are part of our community! With the exception of health services, you also have access to the same resources available to on-campus students.
"As a mother of four children with the additional responsibilities of teaching, I appreciate the flexible schedule that learning long-distance provides me. Although it has been a demanding, rigorous program, I know that it has prepared me with the necessary tools and solid foundation that I needed."— Valerie Emerson
"I can't say enough about the River Falls online courses." — Michele Hooey
"Being able to pursue advanced studies, network with other professionals on a national level, expand my understanding..., ...and utilize today's technology in an exciting and interesting learning format is a tremendous opportunity and educational resource." — Christi A. Lewis

Presidential approval dips slightly in NH
Half of Granite Staters say country's on wrong track
President Barack Obama's approval rating in New Hampshire has slipped a little over the past couple months, but he's still getting positive numbers.
A new WMUR Granite State Poll finds 49 percent of residents approve of the job he's doing, while 45 percent disapprove.
The poll of 507 randomly selected New Hampshire adults was conducted by landline and cellphone by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center from April 4-9 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
On the direction the country is going, people are slightly pessimistic, according to the poll. Forty-four percent said the country is on the right track, while 50 percent said they believe the country is going in the wrong direction.

Getting Started 3: Setting Up Your MIDI Controller
- Live Versions: 8
- Operating System: All
Learn how to connect a MIDI Controller to Ableton Live. This tutorial covers instant and manual controller mappings in Live.
In this tutorial we'll look at how to set up your MIDI controller to work with Live.
Before starting you may need to install driver software that came with your controller, so check the instructions that came with your hardware.
First, plug the square side of a USB cable into the controller, and the wide side into a USB port on your computer.
Some controllers get the power they need just by connecting them to the computer's USB port. But if your controller doesn't, you'll need to connect it to a power source and then turn it on.
Now launch Live. Go to Live's Preferences by hitting [Control + comma] on a PC, or [Command + comma] on a Mac. Click on the MIDI/Sync tab.
If your controller is set up properly, you should see one or more Input and Output entries for it in the MIDI Ports section. Now turn on the Track switch for your controller's input port.
Your controller should now be set up to play instruments in Live. We can check this by playing the controller and seeing the yellow flashing square in the upper-right hand corner.
Instant Mapping
Live supports many control surfaces with Instant Mappings. These natively-supported control surfaces will automatically adjust Live's built-in devices and will reassign themselves when you select a new device.
To see if your controller supports instant mapping, go back to the MIDI/Sync tab in Preferences, and click on the drop-down menu in the Control Surface column.
After selecting your control surface, select the MIDI ports it is connected to.
Instant mapping functionality varies depending on the controller, but with the controller shown in the video above, every time a Device Rack is selected, its Macros are instantly mapped to the controller's eight knobs. The hand icon in the title bar of a device shows that it's currently controlled by your control surface.
Manual Mapping
Finally, your controller may not support Instant Mappings, or you might just want to set up custom controls for your Live Set.
Once again, let's go to the MIDI/Sync tab in Preferences. This time, enable "Remote" for your controller's input port.
You can now control almost anything in Live with your controller.
To do so:
- click the "MIDI" switch in the upper right-hand corner (zoom in)
- click on the thing you want to control (filter cutoff) (another zoom)
- move the desired knob on your control surface
- and finally click the "MIDI" switch again
You and your controller should now be comfortably working with Ableton Live.

5 Dismissive Arguments That You Only Use When You're Wrong
#2. "The Motorized Cart Is for the Handicapped, You Fatass!"
How It Manifests:
You're at the store, and you hear an electrical whir behind you. You turn around to find someone with an extreme weight problem waiting for you to sidestep so they can get by and -- shop faster? I don't know, I just always picture them ramping things once they're out of my sight. Depending on your douchebag level, reactions vary. Nice, understanding people won't have any reaction at all. They'll get out of the way and continue their inner debate on ham- or pizza-flavored Hot Pockets. True cocksuckers will film it and put it on YouTube:
And we allow it because fat people are the targets of the last true universally accepted bigotry. They're the one group we can laugh at and not feel like we've done anything wrong.
Why We Do It:
Whether the disabled want it or not, when we see them, most of us feel sympathy. It's a natural reaction, and it can't be helped any more than you can prevent feeling anger and humiliation when you find yourself having to dance in the middle of a fucking Star Wars game. But we only have room for so much sympathy, and when we see someone who's overweight on our precious motorized carts meant for real handicapped people, we get pissed.
Hell yeah, Grandma. You earned that cart. Do a wheelie on that bitch.
In making fun of them, or the opposite of getting mad at them, we're dismissing the fact that they have an actual, real world disability because in our minds their handicap is easily curable. We see their problem solely as one of willpower -- and let's face it, that idea is not totally without merit. The most common cause of obesity is overeating combined with physical inactivity. So when we see them in the store, that assuming side of us is what causes our heart to skip a beat and makes us sprint to the Twinkie section before they get there. And what caused me to write that joke.
We don't see the other factors, like hypothyroidism, Cushing's, depression, poverty ... we just see them as a punchline, because the humor dismisses anything that could make us possibly feel any empathy for them. It's just easier to throw them all into the pot of "lazy, undisciplined eat machines." Hey, if it's their fault, it's not on our conscience.
Look at that piece of shit. Don't you just want to chop off his face?
#1. "He's Stupid!"
How It Manifests:
You're at a party, and some genius decides that the best way to entertain a group of people is to start talking about religion or politics. It always starts out the same way: with people explaining their beliefs and ideas in calm, rational voices. But if left unchecked, it quickly devolves into name calling, and before you know it, people are shitting directly into their palms and launching it at each other, screaming, "DIE, INFIDEL!"
Those who resist the urge to join the battle, or simply didn't have enough fiber in their diet, generally end the debate with a condescending "You actually believe that? Huh. That's cute." That one response has successfully blown off every word that anyone has said to them on the subject and lets everyone in the room know "I'm no longer listening to anything you're saying. Right now, while you're speaking, all I hear is the Han Solo song."
Look at him. He's so happy the carbonite is gone.
Why We Do It:
Beliefs aren't just knowledge. They're the software that manages our entire motherboard. Every action, reaction, decision, judgment, plan -- everything we do is determined by that set of rules. It takes decades to program something that complex, and your brain does not like it one bit when someone introduces an idea that tries to rewrite those rules. To your mind, that's like someone trying to hack your operating system to only play videos of Han Solo effeminately dance-battling Lando Calrissian.
I truly think this is how George Lucas originally envisioned Star Wars.
The best defense the human brain has against this is to completely dismiss those external ideas by deeming them too stupid to even allow inside. I am as guilty of this as any person who has ever lived.
It's why we look at powerful or famous people and slap that label on them when they do something we just flat-out don't agree with. George W. Bush is a perfect example of that. Regardless of whether or not you disagree with his politics, just blowing him off as "dumb" is about the worst way to debate his worth. Yep, he couldn't speak in public for shit, but he did something most of us couldn't do: graduate Yale, get a business degree from Harvard and become president. Dismissing him as just stupid closes the door on actual conversation about what made him such a huge disappointment in the eyes of the average American.
We do it with everything that's locked inside that core belief system. My atheist friends constantly insult the intellect of my religious friends and vice versa. Liberals and conservatives. Anti-abortion and pro-choice. Pro gay marriage and people who are all like, "Ew, those people touch each others' matching genitals."
I'm just sayin'.
We've been utilizing these dismissals for so long that I think we've lost sight as to what it actually is and what it does to those we use them on. I'd like to say that we should all stop doing it, but I'm not entirely sure that's possible. But at the very least we can catch ourselves doing it, right? Keep your eyes open and see how many times you do it in a week. I think you'd be surprised.

The Annawan-Wethersfield cross country program made a clean sweep of the hardware in Aledo, winning both team and individual titles on the Apollo Diamond course.
Ramsey leads Lady Titans
The Lady Titans continued their dominating season, placing seven runners in the top 10 en route to the team title. A-W finished with 20 points, followed by Princeville 64 and Mercer County 74.
Kirstie Ramsey cruised to the individual title, posting a time of 18:38.
A-W teammates joining Ramsey in the top 10 and earning All-LTC honors were Kaitlyn Cline second at 19:52, Olivia Draminski fourth at 20:14, Maddie Jackson sixth at 20:36, Dana Baele seventh at 20:44, Kylie Cline eighth at 20:48 and Joycelyn VanAntwerp 10th at 21:53.
Cook, Baele finish 1-2

What do you call this stretch of time in Chicago Cubs' history anyway?
(I'm talking about the team playing in the Major League ballparks, of course.)
Is it The Intermission?
Growing Pains?
The 105th Year Stretch?
Even though most of us kind of shrug through these games, it's nice to see some kind of emotion displayed once in awhile.
Which was why I was so happy to watch an animated Dale Sveum run out of the dugout and argue for his pitcher.
You know, some things can get me off the couch and rattle the house with some yelling - the Rizzo homer that could have hit Murphy's, a Castro crazy-range play at short, and last night a good old fashioned tossing of the manager.
Felt good.
Made me wonder what it'll feel like when the Cubs are contenders.
When a 2-2 pitch to Ryan Braun in an April game may actually ladder up to something more meaningful than an evening's entertainment.
This game started off so rotten even Len said Samardzija musta got up on the wrong side of the bed, but then it got pretty watchable.
The insanity of Jean Segura's stealing second and then (the ump explained) technically stealing first made a definite memory.
And I found myself lost in the game and really caring when suddenly Kevin Gregg came in and, you know...you go oh yeah, this is just a halftime show or something.
But I'll keep watching and painting.
Sveum looks like kind of a bad-ass doesn't he?
You can't argue balls and strikes, Dale, but you can pracitce at it.
And one day maybe you'll LaRussa some ump into giving your team a break when it counts.
When we look back on this
When we look back on this time, I think it will be called "The Empty Promise". Theo's Red Sox team imploded just as he was leaving town, he has never rebuilt a team from scratch, the Red Sox only won when their 3-4 hiiters were juiced -- but we're supposed to believe this guy is smarter than all other GMs and will lead the Cubs to prosperity. Whoops, excuse me, Rizzo just struck out again.
speaking of rizzo...SD is

But now, nearly a year later, could Jennifer Lopez be preparing to leave more than just her American Idol gig?
"He's moved into her life – and a little too easily, too," the source tells PEOPLE. "I think her family is watching him closely."
Lopez's possible cold front comes amid tabloid reports about Smart: One claims he visited a New York City exotic massage parlor, while another reports he was at a peep show next door. (Photographs show Smart going up a set of stairs that lead to the spa.) Lawyers for the couple call the stories "false, malicious and defamatory."
Those rumors coincided with her 43rd birthday, which they celebrated together in the city. But although they were all smiles as they were photographed heading to lunch, the source says "she's getting frustrated with him" and she's increasingly "short-tempered when she's around him."
This is a departure from the affection they displayed when they hit the town – and, recently, in a steamy music video for her single "Dance Again" (and again in a sweet clip during her current concerts for the song "Baby I Love U").
But as Smart continues to tour with Lopez, a breakup may not be in their near future.
"Jennifer is the kind of girl who doesn't like to be alone," says the source. "Until she finds a replacement, I think, he's around."

First Driving Lesson, In 25 Minutes
Posted 30 April 2008 - 09:46 AM
Anyway I had all ma money saved already from work so nice to just get it out and not think have I got enough. With my 5 months of Uni hopefully ill have enough time to learn. Gonna start with 1 lesson a week then when I feel confident enough 2 lessons a week I think.
Posted 30 April 2008 - 10:46 AM
Clutch control might take abit of learning if youve never gained that skill before, but on average i'd have said after 40mins to an hour most people start to get the hang of it quite well.
If you can afford 2 lessons a week, i'd say go for it from the start, you'll progress much better, doing just 1 a week has big gaps, and when your first starting, if you can fit 2 or 3 hours in a week you'll probably progress on the first stage much better and faster, thats just my opinion though.
I guess i was lucky, when i first started driving i drove my dads car and he added me on his insurance as a learner driver, so i got a good bit of practice and knowledge before i took a few professional lessons to finish up.
Good luck anyway mate, i'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Posted 30 April 2008 - 10:48 AM
do AT LEAST 2 hours of lessons a week, any less and you don't get the benefit of a lesson and end up taking ages to get to your test.
try and get out between lessons, now i know insurance is expensive so if cant get insured on a car then get someone to take you out to a retail park or an industrail estate at night when it's quiet, just to practice moving the vehicle around and parking etc. I never had the benefit of getting out between lessons but just driving around a bit in a retail park helps.
also remember if your insured on the car then you can get out with anyone who has held a licence for over 4 years, it needent be a parent or anything. So if you pop up here i'll take ya out

Good to hear you enjoyed it aswell, thats one of the best things about driving in general, in particular when your new to driving you'll probably love it.
As Grim also said, driving is pretty easy when you get the basics, it just takes abit of time to adjust to the car, and learning road positions and junctions / round abouts etc, all in all its not too hard at all, you'll soon build up some good confidence in yourself.
As me and grim said before though (he posted seconds after me ) you really could do with trying to get yourself at least 2 lessons a week, and if you do try and space them out like Tuesday and Thursday etc, its always good to have a break between lessons with your tutor, i always found that anyway, it gives time for things to sink in, and you kind of go over it in your head and figgure alot of it out for yourself.
Oh and yeah, if you can get insured on another car, or get out of the way in one, as your so new to driving, any driving at all will be a huge bonus to yourself and will help you get through the first stages very quickly.
Good luck with your other lessons, and let us know how it goes.
EDIT: its only just occoured to me, you'll be more than likely learning in a diesel, so you'll probably be fine when it comes to stalling etc, they are great for learning in as they have so much torq they are hard to stall. Once youve learned all the clutch control in a diesel, you'll probably find it quite easy to adjust straight to a petrol, but petrol cars for learning in can be hard when learning how to control a clutch, you can stall them so much easier than a diesel, infact ive never stalled a diesel once come to think of it

my father used to race motorcycles as well as teach racing courses and safety courses so he was quite a good instructor for me during that time.
I eventually took a "real" driving course because insurance is much much lower if you've passed an official driving course.
the more experience you have the better you'll get.
also making sure it's a GOOD experience is important you want to learn from someone who REALLY knows what they're doing, not someone who is going to teach you their own bad habits.
Good to know you're learning on a stick-shift too, in the states that's a rare skill... cars with manual transmissions typically have to be special ordered because most people are f-ing lazy it also means it's near impossible to find used cars with stick shifts.
Posted 01 May 2008 - 05:20 PM
I got a provisional license but my parents are not to keen on me maybe when I've had a few lessons, they have to insure and insurance costs a load here,
The dash was like this (but right hand drive since we drive on the left) the speedo was digital she said don't look at the middle one it's just to look good, but she said if I had the indicator wrong I might change it to Miles Per Gallon instead of Miles Per Hour so she said don't worry if you think your doing 47MPH

also good advice from twisted, dont let anyone tech you bad habits, they only cause problems.
by all means when you have your full licence pick some up but whilst learning do everything by the book.
I don't know about where you are but in my state here in the US we're allowed to start driving when we turn 15... no permit or license or anything. simply carry a proof of your age and as long as there is a licensed adult in the front with you, you're free to drive wherever
that would be nice, you may not drive a car here until you are 17 and have a provisional drivers licence, you MUST also be insured on the vehicle, it MUST display L plates and it MUST have a person in the front that has held a full licence for over 4 years.
they are also trying to increase the age to 18.

My 4th year in College I did a sponsored project with General Motors working on a new design of the Saturn Ion. If you've never seen one of those tragically ugly cars, it's got center mounted gauges... ALL OF THEM, there is no mini-pod in front of the driver.... The Scion xA and xB are like this too (not sure what these are called in Europe).
Anyway according to GM the center is actually a more natural location for the gauges, because with the gauges in front of you, you have to look down and sometimes even tilt your head to see them. With the gauges in the center, they're far enough away that they can be read through your peripheral vision while you're eyes are performing their normal scan of the road.
Personally I thought it was complete BS, but GM was convinced that it was a "safer" location for the gauges and that experienced driver didn't like it because it was so drastically different, but NEW drivers would be a lot more accepting which is why GM and Toyota started putting them in cars that are designed to appeal to new drivers...
Oh and good job shifting by engine sound... that's exactly how I drive... though whenever I get into a really quiet car I have to drive by "feel" which means I give it more gass when it feels like it's going to stall
Posted 03 May 2008 - 01:39 PM
you should try come driving in texas. its like nascar, a monster truck rally and a drunken riding lawn mower race all one road.

I wanna do a Pass+ since I seem to fall a sleep easily at night in a car and on the bus home from uni (I know I'm not driving) but I think it would be good to make sure I'm ok and everything it will also help with insurance costs. And no I wont be one of them bitches that think pass+ make you a better driver. I've been told it takes a year after your test to get the best of all condition experiences.
'm sort of looking at cars now, I'm thinking of buying a car (I got the money for my 21st bday to buy a car it's building interest now) and my mate well he will soon pass 4 years on driving so I could learn from that point of view while driving and I would get used to my own car.
Anyway ill keep this thread like a blog each week of how I'm feeling about it, any problems I have you can help me out. Once again thanks for the advice.
Posted 04 May 2008 - 12:05 AM
I wanna do a Pass+
somethings about pass plus, make sure that your insurance will honour it and make sure that any saving you make on insurance with it is more than what it costs to do the pass plus itself otherwise it's worthless. Also remember that it is only honoured for a year so it's not like ncb where it rolls over year to year.
If your instructor is pushing it on you it's probably so they can get that extra bit of cash from you.
as far as im concerned pass plus is an absolute waste of time and teaches you nothing that that you wouldnt learn from experience alone.
my opinion obviously but see how you feel once you have that pink licence

Doris, I believe that you had added somewhere that Davis/White would receive their bears in Sochi at the GPF (but sorry, I can't find that old post of yours).
In any case, IN now has a photo of D/W with their bears in Sochi.
See #9 in this photo gallery.
You have to scroll through to get to D&W's photo with their bears, but its' there. Very Cute those bears

Stetson University women's basketball head coach Lynn Bria proudly announced the signing of five student-athletes to National Letters-of-Intent on Thursday. The signees are Stacia Allen (Lima, Ohio/Lima Senior HS), Sydni Davis (Southfield, Mich./Southfield-Lathrup HS), Keara Finnerty (Fairfax, Va./W.T. Woodson HS), Amber Porter (Woodbridge, Va./Potomac HS), and Brianti Saunders (Hilliard, Fla./Hilliard Middle-Senior HS).
"I really like the class, I think they are very talented," Bria said. "We have a post player that's going to be really good, and some very dynamic guards. All of them are going to have great careers here and are going to be very, very good for us."
Allen, a 5-6 shooting guard, averaged 14.9 points and 5.7 rebounds as a junior for the Lima Central Catholic High School in 2011-12. She twice earned all-conference and all-district honors, including first team all-Northwest Conference accolades in 2011. She helped lead the Spartans to two district and sectional titles.
"Stacia is a really good wing player," Bria said. "She can shoot the three, she can take you off the bounce, and she is just a solid, strong guard. She's not real big but she plays big. She comes from the state of Ohio, where there is some great competition."
Davis, a 5-2 point guard, averaged 19.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 4.5 steals for West Bloomfield High School. She is a four-time all-county selection and helped lead the Lakers to their first district title in nine years. She was also named to the All-Oakland County Defensive Dream Team.
During her freshman year, Davis scored 42 points in a game against North Farmington. She is currently ranked as one of the top 10 players in the state of Michigan, and she is playing her senior season with Southfield-Lathrup HS.
"Sydni is an outstanding point guard," Bria said. "She is so fast, and she is one of the best passers I have seen as far as playing the point spot. She is exceptionally quick and just finds her teammates. She can shoot the three, but she is mainly a distributor and just an ultimate playmaker."
Finnerty, a 5-9 guard, was a first-team all-district and all-region performer at W.T. Woodson High School in 2011-12. She twice earned all-Northern Region Leading Scorer and Three Point Scorer honors, and received honorable mention all-Met accolades from the Washington Post.
A sharp-shooter from behind the arc, Finnerty averaged 21.8 points as a junior and 19.5 points as a sophomore, and has already topped the 1000-point mark for her career. She has twice been the top three-point scorer in the DC-metro area, averaging 3.9 three-pointers per game as a sophomore and 3.8 three-pointers as a junior.
"Keara has deep, deep ball range," Bria said. "She can be way off the arc and still hit the three if you leave her open. I think she brings something different to our team as far as adding that dimension for us. But she also knows the game and thinks the game well."
Porter, a 6-3 post player, averaged 16.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game as a junior at Potomac High School. She was named first team all-district and first team all-region and helped lead the Panthers to a 25-3 overall record and the Group AAA state quarterfinals. Potomac also went a perfect 12-0 in district play.
"Amber has a great touch, and she runs the floor well," Bria said. "She is a true post player, but she's got a range of about 15 feet, so she can step out and shoot a little bit. One of her best attributes is that is she is so long, and she is just a great shot blocker, and she is going to do a lot of good things for us defensively. Amber is an offensive and a defensive threat, and she is going to have a great career here, no question."
Saunders, a 5-4 point guard, is a three-time Nassau County MVP for Hilliard Middle-Senior High School. As a junior she averaged 19.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.7 steals and 4.6 assists to help lead the Red Flashes to a 24-3 record and the Final Four of the FHSAA Class 1A State tournament. She was also named second team all-area and a runner-up for the 1A Player of the Year honor.
"Brianti is the ultimate combo guard," Bria said. "She can play the one, or she can slide the two. She might be one of the hardest working players I have seen. She can shoot the three or she can score off the bounce. She is just a very well-rounded guard.
"Briante and Sydni both can get up on the ball and guard very well. They can contain the ball without needing any help. That's going to be real good for us to have two players like that."
Allen, Davis, Finnerty, Porter, and Saunders will join the Hatters for the 2013-14 season.
"It's an important class because we lose so many players this year, so we knew we had to sign quite a few freshmen," Bria said. "We are not sure the class is done, we are hoping to sign one more late as well."
Stetson hosts Florida A&M in its home opener at 7 p.m. Friday night.

This is bizarre.
If they do end up losing Tatar over this, my mind is going to be blown, but I don't even know if I'll have the emotional energy to get angry. s*** like this is just not surprising anymore, and that's sad. I've defended and criticized Cleary in the past and in this thread, and while I think he still has value at the right price, I think it'd be nuts to end up losing someone like Tatar so you can get Cleary in his last few years when he's already been on a serious decline. He had a great playoffs, but he's had terrible playoffs in the past too. Again, somewhere in the $1-2 million range is what Cleary should get if he signs with the Wings, and it should only be if it means not losing or further alienating some of your top prospects.
In any event, again, this is just a bizarre situation at this point.

College football coaches leave schools all the time for other jobs, but virtually never at Penn State, which hasn't dealt with that scenario for generations.
That could change today with reports that Bill O'Brien is ready to leave the Nittany Lions to become head coach of the NFL's Houston Texans.
O'Brien has been linked to the Texans job for more than a week. Monday afternoon, ESPN NFL insider Chris Mortensen called a deal between O'Brien and the Texans "imminent" and said it could be finalized within 24 hours.
O'Brien has been Penn State's coach for two seasons, taking over in the immediate aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal and having to deal with harsh sanctions levied by the NCAA. Many who know him best believe he has always wanted to become an NFL head coach, and now it appears he's ready to achieve that goal.
O'Brien, his agent, Penn State officials and Texans officials haven't confirmed any information regarding the widespread speculation. All of the news about his future has come from various NFL reporters citing anonymous sources, and no one close to him has addressed the matter.
"I don't know what he's going to do," O'Brien's college coach at Brown, Mickey Kwiatkowski, told the Mirror on Monday evening.
Kwiatkowski is certain of one thing.
"The thing that I know for a fact is how much he loves Penn State," he said. "He realizes what a great place Penn State is."
That component, Kwiatkowski added, makes O'Brien's decision very difficult.
"I know if he goes it would be just really, really tough for him," Kwiatkowski said.
This is the second straight year O'Brien's name has surfaced for potential NFL jobs.
He decided to return to Penn State for a second season, but now he has a much more favorable buyout of about $6.7 million if a pro team wants to free him from the remaining 3 years on his PSU contract. The buyout was more than $19 million last year.
If O'Brien leaves, Penn State would have to undergo a coaching search for the second time in two years. Prior to that, there had not been a search for a football coach since 1950, when Rip Engle took over and later handed the job over to assistant Joe Paterno in 1966.
Paterno was fired in the early stages of the Sandusky scandal in November 2011.
"There were a lot of people who weren't going to touch that job," Kwiatkowski said of the PSU situation when O'Brien was hired.
Things are much different now, however, in large part because O'Brien helped the program weather a tough storm the past two seasons.
"I know when he got that job, a lot of people said, 'My god, who is Billy O'Brien?'" Kwiatkowski said. "I vowed that after a year, people were going to say, 'My god, we were lucky to get a guy like Billy O'Brien."

Stochastic Domain-Wall Depinning in Magnetic Nanowires
Reliably controlling the motion of magnetic domain walls along magnetic nanowires is a key requirement for current technological development of novel classes of logic and storage devices, but understanding the nature of non-deterministic domain-wall motion remains a scientific challenge. A statistical analysis of high-resolution magnetic soft x-ray microscopy images by a Berkeley Lab–University of Hamburg group has now revealed that the stochastic behavior of the domain-wall depinning field in notch-patterned Ni80Fe20 (permalloy) nanowires depends strongly on the wire width and the notch depth. This result both provides valuable insight into the motion of magnetic-domain walls and opens a path to further technological developments in spintronics applications. Read more...
Publication about this research: M.-Y. Im, L. Bocklage, P. Fischer, and G. Meier, "Direct observation of stochastic domain-wall depinning in magnetic nanowires," Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 147204 (2009).
ALS Gets $11.3 M in Stimulus Funds for Facility Improvements
The ALS is receiving $11.3 million to help it maintain its position as one of the world's premier soft x-ray light sources. Four items from the ALS strategic plan have been approved for funding though the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
First, the ALS will receive $5.8 million to increase brightness by replacing existing corrector magnets with hybrid multifunction sextupole magnets. This lattice upgrade would increase brightness by a factor of three in the center-bend-magnet beamlines and up to a factor of two in the insertion-device straights. Second, the ALS will receive $2 million to construct and install an elliptically polarizing undulator for the femtosecond soft x-ray Beamline 6.0.2, effectively doubling its capacity by enabling soft and hard x-ray branchlines to operate simultaneously. Third, the ALS will receive $2 million to equip beamlines with advanced CCD-based detectors developed at Berkeley Lab. These detectors, which are well beyond the commercially available state of the art, will dramatically increase the reach and scientific productivity of each of the beamlines where they are deployed. Fourth, the ALS will receive $1.5 million to develop a superconducting vector magnetometer with a magnetic field of over 5 Tesla in any orientation relative to the sample and photon polarization. The high magnetic field will allow experiments leading to novel insights into the magnetic structure of engineered magnetic nanostructures and materials not accessible by any other technique. It is estimated that the funding will create the equivalent of more than 19 jobs at the Lab and 65 jobs externally.
Beyond the items described above, several ALS-related infrastructure projects will also receive ARRA funds. The ALS User Support Building, currently under construction, has been forwarded $14.6 million for FY10 funding. The project, which has had funding challenges in the past, can now proceed uninterrupted and be completed in the most efficient way possible. Building 6, which houses the ALS experiment floor as well as offices, labs, and conference rooms, will receive $1.5 million to replace three aging air handling units that had some vibration issues, negatively impacting scientific studies, with higher-capacity and higher-efficiency units. Building 2, which provides office, laboratory, and conference-room space adjacent to the ALS, will receive $2.9 million for upgrades to its cooling system.
Visit recovery.lbl.gov for more details on all Berkeley Lab's ARRA projects.
UEC Corner: Users' Meeting Workshops, Deadlines, and Elections
The 16th annual ALS Users' Meeting is just a few weeks away: October 15–17, 2009. As in 2007, this year's meeting will be held jointly with The Molecular Foundry with a joint plenary, workshops, poster session, and banquet. Information will be posted on this site as it becomes available.
WORKSHOPS: This year's meeting will have a primary focus on research to further the United States' and the world's energy agenda. Workshops cover that theme and a broad spectrum of other issues, including detectors; x-ray diffraction; graphene; influenza; nanomagnetism; next generation light sources; numerical modeling; quantum systems, clusters, and assembled materials; spectroscopy; tailored materials; and polymers. The complete list can be found online.
AWARDS: Nominations for the Shirley (Science), Halbach (Instrumentation), and Renner (Service) Awards will be accepted until Monday, August 31, 2009. This year's nomination process is different than in previous years. Nominators fill out a simple form.
POSTERS: The deadline for poster abstract submissions is also Monday, August 31, 2009. Students submitting posters have the opportunity to compete for three poster awards, with the winner being given an opportunity to speak at the Friday morning session.
LODGING: The Berkeley Lab Guest House is nearing completion, and we expect that it will be ready to accept guests by the time of the meeting. However, reservations are not being accepted just yet. Check this Web site frequently if you would like to be one of the first guests. A block of rooms has also been reserved at the Hotel Durant.
UEC ELECTIONS: Finally, the ALS Users' Executive Committee will be electing three new members and one student representative this fall. Nominations will be accepted until October 15, 2009, and voting will begin on October 16, 2009, on the second day of the meeting. Nomination instructions will be provided on the ALS Users' Meeting Web site in August.
DOE, UC Berkeley, and City of Berkeley Officials Visit
It's been a busy month for the ALS and Berkeley Lab, with several high-profile visits from federal, state, and local government representatives. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Stephen Chu visited both the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Berkeley Lab on a West Coast trip in late June. At SLAC, Chu spoke to a crowd of 700 about the energy challenges facing our country and how science can contribute solutions. Across the bay, at Berkeley Lab where he served as Director from 2004 through 2008, Chu attended a small reception and heard presentations on a variety of research projects underway at the Lab, from carbon dioxide fixation to hydrogen storage to graphene breakthroughs, the latter given by the ALS's own Eli Rotenberg. Also in attendance were Berkeley Lab Director Paul Alivisatos, Lab Chief Operating Officer Jim Krupnick, ALS Division Director Roger Falcone, and Physical Biosciences Acting Division Director Paul Adams.
Chu and Rotenberg
On July 15, members of the University of California (UC) President's Associates visited Berkeley Lab for briefings on biosciences work at the Lab. The President's Associates include the spouses of UC Chancellors and Mrs. Judy Yudof, wife of UC President Mark Yudof. Roger Falcone welcomed the group and gave them an overview of the diverse research capabilities of the ALS. Beamline scientist Corie Ralston followed with a short presentation on structural biology research at the ALS with implications for diseases such as Alzheimer's and autism. Also, as part of a regular meeting with Lab leadership, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates toured the ALS and the Old Town area just up the hill. He also met with Berkeley High teachers and students who are participating in internships at the Lab this summer. Discussion topics also included Lab construction and truck traffic, the East Bay Green Corridor program, and possible collaboration on projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Deadline for ALS Doctoral Fellowships Extended to Aug. 14
The application deadline for ALS Doctoral Fellowships for the 2009–10 academic year has been extended to August 14, 2009.
ALS Doctoral Fellowships enable students who have passed their Ph.D. qualifying or comprehensive verbal and written exams to acquire hands-on scientific training and develop professional maturity for independent research. Applicants must be full-time, currently enrolled students in a Ph.D. program in the physical or biological sciences pursuing thesis research based on the use of synchrotron radiation. The fellowships are offered as one-year appointments with the possibility of renewal. Successful applicants will be compensated with an $18,000 annual stipend. Additionally, fellows will be matched with an on-site mentor and have access to ALS resources, including beam time. Fellows are expected to present their results at a meeting or as a seminar at the end of the fellowship year. For more information, go to the ALS Doctoral Fellowships Web page.
New Faces: Angel Hernandez Joins User Services Office
by Emma Floyd
The ALS User Services Office has a new member of the team. Administrator Angel Hernandez moved to the ALS last month from the Berkeley Lab Badge Office and is here to help new users settle in. He works on everything from guest processing to travel, and will also be dealing with parking, stipends, and other miscellaneous administrative needs. Angel is excited to be here, saying, "I have always admired what goes on at ALS and it makes me proud to support the world-class science here."
Angel graduated from University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in philosophy and has since worked for two security companies contracted by the Lab. At the ALS, Angel explains, "I'll be working with a combination of a lot of different departments, but [I'll see] mostly ALS users." He goes on to say, "I really enjoy working with people, and welcoming new guests to their new home, in a manner of speaking, is a delight."
His coworkers are happy to have him, and as Sharon Fujimura notes, "He's very soft spoken, but behind that, he's a firecracker." Inside sources also say Angel loves all kinds of food, enjoys cooking, and is getting married this winter. So if you have a question about parking, guest processing, or a great dessert recipe, contact Angel Hernandez at (510) 486-5268, or drop by his office, Building 6, Room 2212H.
[Editorial note: Emma Floyd is a journalism major working at the ALS this summer.]
Introducing: ALS Science Briefs
Members of the ALS Communications Section promote the scientific research going on around the ring by producing two or three science highlights per month. In order to keep up with the increasing number of scientific and technical accomplishments that we would like to present to our audiences, we are creating a new Web page called "Science Briefs," which will feature scientist-submitted highlights that contain a short description (200 words maximum) of recently published ALS-related work. These scientist-submitted "brief" highlights will also include one image, a caption, and the publication citation. All ALS users and beamline scientists are invited to download the template, which includes submission instructions, and submit at will!
For the user runs from June 16 to July 13, the beam reliability [(time scheduled – time lost)/time scheduled)] was 98.9%. For this period, the mean time between failures (MTBF) was 86.8 hours, and the mean time to recovery (MTTR) was 60 minutes. There were no significant interruptions.
More detailed information on reliability is available on the ALS reliability bulletin board, which is located in the hallway between the ALS and the control room in Building 80. Questions about beam reliability should be directed to
Long-term and weekly operations schedules are available here. Requests for special operations use of the "scrubbing" shift should be sent to Rick Bloemhard (

Great natural replacement for other "rub" Review by Mom3
Price Value Quality
I bought the Sniffles this past winter because we wanted something natural to replace a non-natural brand of "rub" that is commonly used to rub on a child's chest, neck and feet to help with a cold and cough. I found that it worked well as a natural replacement and helped my child sleep better when I rubbed it on her feet and chest when she had a bad cold and cough. I also liked the smell of it. It worked just as well as the non-natural product I used before, but I am happy that it's natural instead. (Posted on 8/20/11)
Not for babies under one Review by Mariko
Price Value Quality
This is not so much a review since I have not been able to use this product yet. I just wanted to say that you should really post that this is not for babies under 1. I bought it for my 8 month old and was disappointed to read on the container that she was too young for it. I am sure it will work great b/c I use all of Dimpleskins products and they all work wonderful but I have few more months before she will try it out.
A note from the bynature.ca team: This product does contains pure and organic essential oils that are recommended for use on children over the age of 1 year (some suggest they are safe for 6 months and up). This being said, less than a 1% dilution of these oils is found in Dimpleskins products, so they are still extremely mild. (Posted on 1/1/11)

Last week, after a foot of snow fell in the area, the response by some municipalities to those businesses and homeowners who failed to shovel their sidewalks was fairly mute. This is unacceptable.
Failure of businesses and residents to clear their sidewalks is not only against the law, it ignores the lessons from recent history.
Back in 2001, three teenagers were killed and another was injured after being struck by a car on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Amherst. They were walking on the right edge of the busy thoroughfare because snow and ice blocked the sidewalk.
Amherst officials eventually declared that they would begin ticketing property owners who failed to clear their sidewalks of snow and ice. Money collected from tickets was supposed to help pay for the program.
Now, more than a decade after that tragedy, News staff reporter Sandra Tan writes that many major communities, including Amherst and Cheektowaga, do not send out code enforcement officers to check for compliance on sidewalk clearing unless someone calls with a complaint.
Each of those towns had received all of three complaints after the area got socked with a foot of snow the other day. In Buffalo and Niagara Falls, inspectors examine main commercial strips for sidewalk and snowplow violations and residents can also call in complaints. But is that really enough? Communities should be proactive and look for violations rather than wait for complaints that never come.
Economic conditions have worsened over the past decade, therefore we believe it when the Amherst building commissioner says he has no staff to send out to enforce sidewalk clearing all over town.
Having said that, it behooves all town, village and city officials to consider the alternative: Forcing those who have to walk into busy streets because the sidewalks are impassable. Not properly addressing the problem continues to risk public safety. The sidewalks must be made safe for pedestrians.
Lancaster, which, to be fair, does not have the population of cities or first-ring suburbs, has at least adopted a proactive approach, resulting in 50 to 60 warnings to residents following this recent storm.
And ordinary citizens have gotten into the act. Seamus Gallivan, who does community promotion through his organization, "The Good Neighborhood," decided to use the power of social networking through a Facebook invitation to host a shoveling flash mob on Buffalo's West Side.
While only 10 people showed up with shovels and strong backs to dig out sidewalks, they made a difference in the neighborhood. Folks who have to travel on foot to bus stops, stores and wherever else they needed to reach were grateful. It's the type of ingenuity and creativity that helps make this the City of Good Neighbors.
Towns, cities and villages do a good job of clearing the streets following a snowstorm. Similar attention should be paid to clearing sidewalks and ensuring a safe passage for pedestrians.

Lawsuits go badly for fired Parkland hospital employees
Parkland Memorial Hospital is wrapping up a largely successful legal fight against two women who claimed they were illegally fired during 2012′s patient-safety crisis.
It settled manager Kimala "Kim" Akinwande's federal racial discrimination lawsuit for only $11,000, according to a hospital record I just obtained with a Public Information Act request. She sought far more — including back pay dating to her termination as director of medical staff services. The job paid over $115,000 a year.
Akinwande, who is black, said she was accused of "threatening and disrespectful" behavior toward employees and fired without being allowed to respond. As I reported in 2012, her suit named several non-black Parkland managers or doctors who "all received lesser discipline than Akinwande for the same or similar conduct."
Parkland denied wrongdoing and continues to do so, according to the settlement record. Both parties agreed to keep the deal's terms secret and to make no "negative or disparaging comments" about each other.
Late last month, meanwhile, a Dallas County state district court jury rejected social worker Sandra Palmer's claim that she was fired for reporting safety violations. She hasn't decided whether to appeal, her lawyer said today.
Palmer alleged that managers ordered her to deal with medication-related matters that she wasn't certified to handle. She notified regulators. Parkland denied wrongdoing.
