A Heisman top five through Week 8 of the college season:
1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford. There wasn't a whole lot he had to do in the Cardinal's 65-21 win vs. Washington. There isn't much doubt he's the best player in college football, but his Heisman candidacy is no less tied to team success than other guys'. As long as Stanford rolls along unbeaten, this is your No. 1. Season stats: 145-of-202 (71.3 percent) for 1,888 yards and 20 TDs, with 3 INTs; 83 yards and 1 TD rushing.
2. Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson. Look at all the undefeated teams in college football, and only Kansas State is more of a surprise than Clemson. Boyd's numbers are better than perhaps anyone's in the country, but his smart play, unflappability and occasional flair have been just as eye-opening. Season stats: 172-of-278 (61.9 percent) for 2,379 yards and 24 TDs, with 3 INTs; 165 yards and 4 TDs rushing.
3. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama. Richardson drops one spot in the ranking this week not because he rushed for less than 100 yards in the win over Tennessee, but because defense is leading the way for the Tide. That said, Richardson is the best running back in America. Season stats: 989 yards and 17 TDs rushing, 212 yards and 1 TD receiving.
4. Case Keenum, QB, Houston. Not much to say about this guy—he's merely the FBS career leader in total offense after throwing for 376 yards and six touchdowns in a blowout of Marshall. Oh, and the Cougars have won all their games this season … you know, if you're into that sort of thing. Season stats: 194-of-266 (72.9 percent) for 2,685 yards and 23 TDs, with 2 INTs.
5. Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor. We can't justify keeping Wisconsin's Russell Wilson or Oklahoma's Landry Jones on this list ahead of RG3. We considered Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden, too, but Weeden is getting so much big-play help from his defense that the Cowboys aren't leaning on him quite as much as you might think. Besides, Baylor has to play in Stillwater this weekend; this might be Griffin's last appearance in our top five, with Weeden taking his place or jumping in even higher. Season stats: 141-of-182 (78.0 percent) for 1,950 yards yards and 22 TDs, with 2 INTs; 295 yards and 2 TDs rushing.

A Big Red Weekend Primer
Nebraska expects to have around 15 to 20 recruits in town over the next few days for Big Red Weekend, the second iteration of what is now the Huskers' signature summer recruiting event.
Things are always fluid in the recruiting game, particularly when the players are responsible for finding and financing their own way to Lincoln, so the list could change even at this late stage, but here are some of the notable names expected to be there this weekend. (Rankings Key: R=Rivals, 247=247Sports, S=Scout)
THE BIG TWO – There are two players scheduled to be at BRW that should be familiar to most Nebraska fans by now: Lincoln Southeast guard D.J. FOSTER and Hiawatha, Kan. defensive tackle PEYTON NEWELL.
Newell (R: 3, 247: 4, S: 4) is making his second trip to BRW after attending last year so he's plenty familiar with the scene in Lincoln. That history, along with Newell's proximity to Lincoln, should play in Nebraska's favor but competition is keen here. Newell already has more than 30 offers according to Rivals, which ranks him as the 15th-best DT nationally. A weekend commit seems unlikely, but you never know. Newell's been to Lincoln three or four times at this point which is encouraging when you consider that the likes of Georgia, South Carolina and USC are also high on his list.
There's some pressure on Nebraska to eventually land the home-grown prospect Foster (consensus 3-star). His brother, Trey, is a tight end for the Huskers and losing out on one of the top linemen nationally when he is right in your backyard wouldn't exactly go over well in certain circles. Foster, a Crimson Tide fan, took an unofficial visit to Alabama earlier this spring and if the Tide should offer things could get complicated. For now, Nebraska might be a slight favorite but plenty of others (Florida, Georgia, Iowa, UCLA) have offered.
STARRY EYED — There are three players expected this weekend with the stars to quicken the pulse of recruitniks — RB TONY JAMES, WR CAMERON SIMS, and ATH KALEN BALLAGE. All three currently rank in the Rivals Top 250.
The Huskers might have the best shot right now at James(R: 4, S: 3), an all-purpose back from Gainesville, Fla. He's got Nebraska near the top of his list along with Florida, Ohio State, Oregon, Ole Miss and, Nebraska's new recruiting nemesis, Kentucky. James ranks as the 15th-best all-purpose back according to 247Sports and third-best according to Rivals.
Secondary coach Terry Joesph used his Louisiana connections to lure Sims (consensus 4-star)– who is from Monroe, La. — to campus. That alone is an achievement, but the Huskers might be facing an up-hill climb here. Half of the SEC has offered Sims, including Alabama, and it's easy to see why. He's the prototypical big-body receiver everybody loves.
Nebraska has had some success recently in Colorado, making Ballage (R: 4, 247: 4, S: 3) an intriguing visitor. Well, that and the fact that he's 6-3, nearly 220-pounds and, according to Rivals at least, runs a 4.37 40. (Note: He probably doesn't run a 4.37 40 right now.) Ballage could play a number of positions and that means he has a pretty full dance card. He was scheduled to visit Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State this week before hitting Nebraska. Oregon, which hasn't offered yet, and Arizona State are also near the top of his list.
Landing any of these three this weekend, likely the longest of long shots, would dramatically change the current tenor of Husker recruiting.
THE QUARTERBACK — Jackson, Ala. QB Matthew Jordan (R: 2) is the only quarterback scheduled to be at BRW, but he has the look of an uncovered gem. Nebraska is clearly his best offer at this point but he's made unofficial visits to Georgia Tech, Auburn and Alabama recently and spent last week at Mississippi State's camp. He's only a two-star at this point, but Jordan has the look of a 3-star before it's all said and done.
THE THREE MOST LIKELY — If you're looking for commits coming out of this weekend, there are three players to keep a close eye on.
Grandview, Mo. TE/DE FREEDOM AKINMOLADUN (247: 3) has the look of a player whose best football is ahead of him. After spending the early part of his career on the offensive line, Akinmoladun moved to the edge and has the build (6-5, 240) to go either way. Nebraska has a pair of connections here. His cousin, Oladupo, is a track athlete at Nebraska and his brother, Olakuyode, plays football in-state at Nebraska-Kearney. Kansas State, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa and Northern Illinois have also offered.
Alexandria, Va. ATH DEMORNAY PIERSON-EL (consensus 3-star) is a small guy with big-time athleticism. Pierson-El is about the same size (5-9, 175) as Ameer Abdullah was coming out of high school and would likely play at running back while also offering some special teams help. Beyond Nebraska, Boston College and North Carolina are his best offers to date.
Nebraska got in early on McKinney, Texas WR T.V. WILLIAMS, becoming the second BCS school to offer him after Cal. We'll see if that's enough, along with the BRW experience, to land a commitment. His offer list is growing and the competition here is a bit stronger than above with Iowa, Kentucky and Oregon State making recent scholarship offers.
LOOKING AHEAD — The Huskers will also welcome three recruits for the 2015 class this weekend and all three are highly-ranked prospects.
ALIZ'E JONES (247: 4) of Las Vegas is the top-ranked tight end in the 2015 class according to 247Sports. He's already got offers from UCLA, USC, Arizona and Arizona State out on the West Coast.
DE ADAM MCLEAN (247: 4) is a top 10 prospect and he hails from Quince Orchard HS in North Potomac, Md., the same high school as current Huskers Jason Ankrah and Marcus Newby. His offer list includes Florida State, Virginia Tech, Rutgers and Iowa among others.
On the other side of the d-line, DE HALE HENTGES (247: 4) is also a top 10 prospect out of Jefferson City, Mo. He's got offers from Arkansas, Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri and Wisconsin.
Last year's Big Red Weekend led to two direct commitments for Nebraska in safety Nathan Gerry — still a guy I think will play right away this year — and long-snapper Gabe Miller, but it also laid the groundwork for future commitments from the likes of Marcus Newby, Zach Hannon and Terrell Newby.
This year's list is arguably more impressive. The Huskers put a lot of emphasis on getting kids on campus. This weekend, they have them.
Let's see what happens.

Have you ever thought to yourself "Where are the police when you need them?"
Well, in this case, they were right where they were needed. In the article "Officials working on bomb case," a Penn State Altoona student was caught making a bomb.
Whether he was going to set it off or not, I am just glad the police caught him in time.
As a Penn State Altoona student who lives off campus only a block away from the suspect's home, I feel I can vouch for many people that we are very proud of the police department.
They actually care more about the community's safety instead of worrying about where the next college party is.
Focusing on danger in this society will save more lives than arresting students who are engaged in underaged drinking, which students will continue to do regardless.
Nobody knows what this kid would have actually done, but the police made sure to stop it before he could follow through on his act.
I have always believed this world has bigger issues than what most police departments are worried about, but in this case they proved me wrong.

Not Fade Away
- Studio: Paramount Vantage
- Release Date: Dec 21, 2012
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
If any one aspect of Chase's film keeps it from being more than merely coolly engaging (which it is), it's the casting.
Not Fade Away is Chase's reward to himself - a transparently autobiographical work, his first feature-length film, and one that he's said he has wanted to make for years.
A stirring snapshot of America from 1963 to 1968 and the many rock 'n' roll thrills, cultural and political watersheds, and whirling emotions that erupted in between. It's also deviously smart and darkly funny.
A glancing, disjointed little movie that captures as well as any film I've seen the mind-expanding mojo of rock and roll at the dawn of the counterculture - particularly rhythm-and-blues-oriented rock, particularly the Rolling Stones, the group that synthesized R&B and made it commercial.
Not Fade Away is a movie by a filmmaker who treasures his memories, cares about social history and relishes getting it right.
Triumphs when David Chase's empowerment as a kind of autobiographical historian is balanced with the thrill of submersing the viewer in the tidal pool of his memories
Chase deals with the mundane reality that squashes those dreams, but he doesn't downplay the dreams themselves, which he keeps honoring throughout Not Fade Away, right up to an audaciously abstract final scene that rivals the end of "The Sopranos" for sheer nerve.
Ultimately a disappointment – this is a movie easy to watch and even easier to forget.
The film may be too meandering for mainstream acceptance, but its focus will make the Paramount Vantage release connect directly with many baby boomers. It's also a warm, funny, poignant scrapbook that evokes a spirit of youth still relatable in later eras.
By focusing on musicians who are talented but finally not good or persistent enough to succeed in the big time, Not Fade Away offers a poignant, alternative, antiheroic history of the big beat.
It isn't until the story reaches its fancifully abstract final passages, where cinema displaces music as Douglas's weapon of choice, that Chase's reverie reveals itself as a particularly exceptional exploration of how art ceases being an idle hobby and becomes an obsessive vocation.
The highlight of Not Fade Away, a meandering and bittersweet coming-of-age story, is its killer '60s pop-rock soundtrack.
It's a small gem with a killer rock soundtrack, well worth seeking out amid all the awards-season Sturm und Drang.
In writer-director David Chase's heartfelt delivery, this same old tune somehow comes out sounding fresh.

Dec 29, 2012As an avid music fan & aspiring rock musician, I was very interested when I saw the trailer for this movie, and all that interested wasAs an avid music fan & aspiring rock musician, I was very interested when I saw the trailer for this movie, and all that interested was definitely justfied, and then some, because Not Fade Away is simply fantastic. First of all, I appreciate that rather than being centered around the big & famous musicians like a lot of similar films would do, this film follows a band, The Twylight Zones, that suffers a lot & even ends on a rather bleak & ambiguous note as to whether or not they'll make it as a band at all. Not only that, but the characters here all seem very realistic. There are no cheap one-note stereotypes or clear antagonists, but rather a group of generally reasonable people that run into very believable problems & misunderstandings. Something like this definitely helps with the relatability factor. Another thing to note is that this is set in the mid-late 60s, and even as someone who was born decades after this time, I could easily believe that the settings here are accurate, with possible minor embellishements here & there for added effect. Steven Van Zandt produced this, and it's very easy to tell that a musician was involved with this. Even though I don't have an impressive amount of band experience yet, a lot of subtleties of being a musican are covered here, mainly in the songwriting process. Speaking of the music, in addition to great older songs being used very often (which would be implied in a film like this) the original song here main character Doug wrote about his breakup, The St. Valentine's Day Massacre, is also very impressive, and I'm so glad they released the soundtrack on iTunes cause it's a genuinely good song. M only real gripe with this movie is the last minute, where a girl starts talking to the camera & dancing in the middle of the street. It just lost me there, and would've been much better if it ended on what was happening rght before that. Overall, Not Fade Away is a very well-rounded movie, creating moments that are fun, emotional, relatable & sweet, while never losing focus & keeping a very good & steady pace, making it's over 2 hour running time very justified.… Full Review »

The Good: Solid musical score. Even the tracks written for the film felt authentic and fit in to the era they were portraying. James Gandolfini did a great job even if he was similar in some ways to his Sopranos character, minus the gangster thing. Truly speaks to anyone who wanted to try and start a band and make it in the industry, regardless of what decade it was.
The Bad: Sort of goes on and on and loses steam halfway through. Starts becoming a chore to watch and you want to get to the ending so that you see what happens. Once you get there, you are pretty let down though.… Full Review »

A-Rod Still Attending Spring Training
Alex Rodriguez is?suspended for all of the 2014 regular season, and the postseason should the Yankees make it. But there is a loophole in the ruling that allows him to participate in spring training.
And Rodriguez plans to attend, Ron Berkowitz, his spokesman,?told ESPNNewYork.com?s Wallace Matthews.
Rodriguez?s lawyers argued that, if Rodriguez is able to receive an injunction, he would be able to play and should be allowed to prepare for the season as he normally would.
But the Yankees could tell Rodriguez, who?ll turn 39 in July, not to join them in Tampa. He wasn?t with the team while rehabbing from hip surgery last spring, according to Matthews.
The Yankees? full squad?is?scheduled to report on Feb. 19.
Rodriguez,?who has 654 career home runs, hit .244 with seven homers and 19 RBIs in 44 games last season.

CRESTWOOD - The woes which have been suffered by the North Bullitt Eagles the first two games of the season are nothing that can't be fixed.
However, those fixes won't come easy.
After a lackluster performance in the first half, North Bullitt fought back but turnovers and penalties at crucial times left the visitors with a 37-20 defeat at South Oldham.
"For a second straight game, we came out flat," said head coach Brett Newton. "We can't afford to do that."
HEBRON ESTATES - Never give up.
High school athletes hear that all the time from their coaches, but it is mostly concerning what they are doing on the court or field at that particular time. That philosophy worked just fine for North Bullitt senior Kenton Aubrey but in a slightly different way.
LOUISVILLE - An inconsistent opening night proved costly to the North Bullitt Eagles on Thursday as they dropped a 17-15 decision to Class 5-A power Doss on the road.
Playing on Thursday for TV purposes, the Eagles showed some positive signs, but also made a bundle of mistakes as they lost for the eighth straight time over the past two seasons.
HEBRON ESTATES - If there has been one team that North Bullitt has handled better than any other in recent years, it has been the South Oldham Dragons.
The Eagles have won the past three meetings with the Crestwood school, beating a program that has not fielded a winning program over that time. A year ago North Bullitt beat the Dragons 21-7 and South Oldham went on to record a 3-8 record.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The fourth Lady Charger Invitational golf tournament will be the best yet as Bullitt East head coach Andy Oder has snared the top three teams from last season's Kentucky State Tournament to compete Saturday at Heritage Hill Golf Course.
The 2010 edition of the event is also referred to as the Bluegrass Invitational as Oder wants this event to become one of the premier events of the girls' golf season in the state.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - An emotionally supercharged early season showdown provided some of the best volleyball action the North Bullitt-Bullitt Central rivalry has seen on Tuesday when the programs collided in Shepherdsville.
The teams split the first two games and the Lady Cougars were up 6-1 in the third game before North Bullitt went on a tear, reeling off 13 of the next 14 points en route to a 25-13 victory that didn't highlight the intensity of the match.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - While the final score of 63-12 was bad, the ramifications of last Friday's loss to Holy Cross could well be felt deep into this season for the Bullitt East Chargers.
Friday's bad news was followed by worse news on Monday as Charger head coach Doug Preston got the medical reports. At least three starters will be out for the next month and there could be a fourth. This on a Class 4-A team that was already playing without two starters before the season even began.

MOUNT WASHINGTON - Hit in the mouth on the opening play of the game, the Bullitt East Chargers never got up off the mat on Friday, falling to the Holy Cross Cougars 63-12 in a beat down eerily similar to the 63-15 loss at Shelby County a year ago.
Holy Cross, one of the top teams in Class A, jumped on top 21-0 before Bullitt East could manage a first down and then cruised to their second straight win to open the season.
The loss dropped the Chargers to 1-1 heading into another meeting with a west end Catholic school when Bullitt East faces DeSales this Friday.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - After school on Monday, the North Bullitt Lady Eagle soccer team stayed together for the three hours before they were to face arch-rival Bullitt Central.
"We kept them together after school and did some team building exercises to get them pumped up and excited," first-year assistant coach Ryan Bringhurst explained.
It worked. The Lady Eagles scored three times in the first 15 minutes of the match and went on to beat the Lady Cougars 5-0.

#8 is Gold Jerry
How is a skinny white intern the best mascot in the NFL?
He's a ginger, so 1. He perfectly sums up the spirit of the team (soulless failure), and 2. Kids can come up and kick him in the shins or crotch and their parents don't have to spend the next ten minutes apologizing.
Since he is also an intern, you can abuse the crap out of them and pay them squat or at the very worst, next to squat. If you don't like them, you can get rid of them at any given second without a moment's notice.
#4 Lobotomus primed?
The idea that Swagger has the chance to literally bite Johnny Footbaw in the ass makes me almost happy enough to forget that the Browns named their mascot something so goddamned dumb…
I read that as "stupid team name" and instantly wished this was a team cheer:
"Who are we?"
"What color do we like?"
So uhhh… there's that.
Good to see that Mike Zimmer is supporting Mike Utley still. Thumbs Up!
Who knew there were Browns fans 8 hours away from Cleveland?
The look on that woman's face is definitely "ehhhhh, this might have been a mistake…"
Hell, I'm surprised to see there are still Browns fans
Well, they live 15 minutes away, but, well, Browns fans are going to Browns it up.
Is that Tebow sitting front row in #7?

"It's aiming to bring independent films from the United States and internationally, and show everybody how alike we all are and bring a different viewpoint to people," said Linda Filkosky, the District Library Consultant for the Altoona District, covering 13 libraries in Bedford, Blair and Huntingdon counties.
After the institute selects the films, filmmakers travel to four domestic and four international locations for gatherings such as screenings and workshops, according to the Film Forward website.
The movie "Fruitvale Station" is also part of the 2014 film lineup of the international touring program in its fourth year.
The State Library of Pennsylvania put in an application in order to present the 2014 films, Filkosky said. The more than 20 Pennsylvania libraries presenting the films in April, are among the spots in four other countries and three other states - California, Michigan and Mississippi - selected to show the films.
The first film showing will happen during National Library Week, a library press release said. Each film will have a moderator to guide the audience in discussion.
Amir B. Marvasti, a Penn State Altoona associate professor of sociology, is one of five faculty members moderating the films shown at the Devorris Downtown Center.
"The film festival is an important cultural event for the region," he wrote in an email. "I expect the attendees will find the festival both entertaining and informative. While the films focus on specific stories and characters, the underlying themes explored in them are universal."
Film Forward looks for universal themes with the ability to connect audiences. This year's films share the themes of the transformative power of art, acceptance, and tradition colliding with modern ways, Lavitt said.
"We look for really strong story telling, and we look for films that really do have universal themes that we can show to a variety of audiences and then the themes sort of bubble up from there as we put the slate together," she said.
The initiative hopes to bring the films specifically to those who are not the typical audiences for independent film, high school and college students, and other filmmakers to make an "artist-to-artist connection" and encourage the continuation of such story telling, Lavitt said.
"I'm hoping that when they see these films it's really going to open their eyes to how other people live and how they phrase things and how they film things, and all the films that I've watched have been so striking and have made a real difference to me, so I'm hoping everybody gets the same affect when they watch it," Filkosky said of what she hopes audiences will experience.
The films are sometimes "really gritty, thought provoking, just different from your ordinary movie that you would see at a theater," she said. "All of them are just really fine films."

Phillip McGraw was just 3 years old when he tried to teach his grandmother, who was visiting, how to turn on his family's stove. "He couldn't speak very well," recalls his sister Deana, 58. "Finally our grandmother said, 'Son, I can't understand a word you're saying.' Phil said very clearly, 'What are you, an idiot? He's been telling it like it is ever since."
And bluntness has its benefits. McGraw—who is known to Oprah viewers as Dr. Phil—has turned his tough-love pronouncements into a self-help empire. His two quit-whining-and-do-it bestsellers, Life Strategies ('99) and Relationship Rescue ('00), have sold more than 3.7 million copies. His Oprah segments, "Tuesdays with Dr. Phil," allow him to tell crybabies and wallowers to "get real!"
But the most gratifying endorsement of McGraw's methods may be a bestseller that he didn't write: Life Strategies for Teens, by Jay McGraw, his 21-year-old son. Published last December, Jay's first book retools his father's no-nonsense tenets—including, "You either get it or you don't"—for the younger set. Initially Dr. Phil's publisher had asked him to write a book for teens. "Dad," said Jay, then a psychology major at the University of Texas, "you haven't seen hair in 30 years; you don't know what it's like to watch MTV. Let me write a book for teenagers." McGraw père, 50, is happy to share the spotlight. "When Jay was younger," he says, "we couldn't get him to read a book." Now, "this kid gets it."
Late blooming, it seems, runs in the family. Growing up mostly in Oklahoma, Phil too was an indifferent student. But that didn't stop his father, Joseph, a salesman for an oil-equipment company, and his mother, Jerry, a homemaker, from doting on him. "I was treated like a prince," says McGraw, who has three sisters. But when he was a teen, his father left corporate life to become a psychologist, and the financially strapped family sometimes was forced to eat ketchup-and-mustard sandwiches for dinner.
McGraw won a football scholarship to the University of Tulsa, only to drop out as a sophomore after incurring several head injuries. A few years later he turned his attention to psychology, like his father, ultimately earning a doctorate at North Texas State University in Denton. He practiced briefly with Joseph, but the future Dr. Phil wasn't cut out for traditional therapy. Attempting marriage counseling, he says he told one couple, "I can see why you can't stand each other. I've been with you five minutes, and I can't stand either of you."
He managed his own love life far better: In 1976 he married Robin Jameson, now 47, a friend of his sister Brenda, also 47. "He was always wise beyond his years," says Robin. In 1989 McGraw cofounded Courtroom Sciences, Inc., an Irving, Texas-based firm that helps corporations present themselves at trial. He met Oprah in 1997, when she was being sued by Texas cattlemen enraged at her on-air statement that fear of mad cow disease kept her from eating beef. Hired to help with her defense, McGraw flew to Chicago. Kept waiting too long in Oprah's office, he told her assistant, "It's not my a—being sued!" Oprah won the case, and McGraw won a patron. "He is one of the best psychologists I have ever run into," the talk queen said to her audience the first time he appeared on her show. "I told him, 'If you ever did therapy, I'd go to you.' "
She shouldn't hold her breath. McGraw is quite content working on his third book, Self Matters, doing his TV gig and helping Robin raise son Jordan, 14, at their 8,000-sq.-ft. mansion in suburban Dallas. Recent college grad Jay is home for a while now too, working on three new teen-help books and not feeling reverent. "My dad writes useful stuff," says Jay, "but it's also boring." Should be an interesting summer.

Violin Bow Hold and Posture – Tips for Beginners
This article is part two of a beginner violin basics series by Fort Lee, NJ violin teacher Oleg R. Read the first part here.
Your first few violin lessons are critical in the learning process because you will learn how to hold your violin properly. Your sound depends very much on how you hold your instrument, so learning the right posture is essential. Your back should be straight; your left foot is a bit ahead of your right foot, somewhere at the 10 o'clock position. The violin should be placed on your left shoulder. Turn your head to your left and place your left jaw on the chin rest. The instrument should be in front of your eyes and parallel to the floor. Try to avoid playing violin that is placed lower than eye level. That may result in your bow slipping down, creating a sound that is not as clear and articulated as it could be. Your bow should always be between the fingerboard and the bridge. Flip your bow slightly toward the fingerboard, never the opposite.
I typically have students playing violin by plucking notes with your right hand. Your fingers should be curvy and flexible on both hands. I always tell my students to imagine they are holding an apple in both hands. The muscles should be relaxed, but strong. Hold your violin at the level of your eyes, parallel to the floor level. If your violin goes down to the floor and you feel that your shoulders are tired, take a short break and shake your hands for a few seconds.
Proper violin bow hold is the one of the most important skills you need to learn in the beginning of learning process. Your left hand thumb and your left hand middle finger should form a circle, and you connect both fingers between the frog and the leather winding. Your ring finger is curved and rests on the frog, sometimes touching the round pearl that is located in the middle of the frog. Finally, your curved and flexible pinky stands on the stick above this round pearl.
Bow technique is challenging for some beginner students, but anyone can improve with the right training. Try to avoid moving your right shoulder or raising your left shoulder while playing. You can move your left elbow a little bit, but it depends on what string you are playing. Try to curve it under your violin, especially when you play on a G string. In any case, your elbow has to be flexible and relaxed. Your right shoulder is almost steady because all the work is being done by your elbow. Remember, it's the elbow that works hard, not a shoulder.
Now we've covered all of the beginner basics – how to buy a violin, finding a great teacher, proper posture, and correct violin bow hold. With each lesson and home practice, your hands will get stronger and as a result your practice time can be increased. Playing the violin should be fun, but regardless of your goals you have to begin right way in order to truly progress. Thoughtful practice will always bring satisfactory results.
Oleg R. teaches piano, violin, cello, music theory and viola lessons to students of all ages in Fort Lee, NJ. He received his Master's degree in Violin Performance and Education from the Moscow Conservatory of Music, and joined the TakeLessons team in February 2013.

Hey guys,
Hong Kong U18s Grand Final for rugby is in exactly 7 days from now, and I have a wound which may seem small but really really hurts (i'm starting in the match)
Its a graze on the knee approximately 1.5 cm in length and 1cm in width. It looks relatively normal now... but after every shower (morning and evening) it becomes YELLOW and GOOEY and puss-ey.
I actually have a training session in 2 days and I want to make that session. My dad says to put dettol cream on it after every shower... should I do that? It's been like this for about a week now.
Much help will be greatly appreciated!
Infected Wound (graze on the knee) HELP!
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
Go to a doctor, get their opinion on whether it's infected and they'll give you some antibiotics. Other than that, just keep the wound clean, dry, and aired (Don't cover it as it will will stop it form healing properly) Might be an idea to put some gauze over it, but definitely see a doc.
By the way, does it feel hot when you touch it, around the wound as well as the wound itself? that's a pretty sure sign of infection.
I think thats normal with that sort of injury
I had grazes left, right and centre during my gymnastics years and they all did that to a certain degree.
If you're concerned then go to a doctor
Does it hinder your movement or is it just painful? If your being honest is it a bad injury or just a pain in the arse? If its not too bad then put antiseptic cream on it and gauze it. But when you get round to playing just leave it open and then clean it after the match. i had a similar injury where both of my knees were cut and infected and the movement was hindered by the healing.
P.s. good luck in the game
When I walk, I have to bend my leg, which stretches the skin of the knee. Unfortunately this also stretches the wound on the knee cap, which has ripped as a result of that. So it isn't exactly painless and yes it does sort of hinder my movement.
I wouldn't participate in this rugby match if I were you, unless I want to risk losing my leg. It's stupid showering twice a day. You shouldn't allow water to touch your wound!

Losing his leg??? He hasnt got gangrene just a graze thats become a bit infected!
I would certainly try and let it heal with antiseptic and gauze but before the match (a couple of hours before and right before) put some cream on to make the wound moist which will allow it to bend more easily. its not going to cause you a great deal of harm (but it will be uncomfortable) but at least you get to play in the final. You can let it heal after you've finished
Carry on with the whole showering thing it will do it good to clean it.
Put some antibacterial cream on and then place a dressing over the top, use some tape around it to strap the dressing and than use a thin bandage material to wrap round the knee.
This should keep the dressing on when your playing a match even with mud etc.
I've had many of these grazes-after stupidly playing rugby on sandy grass, even one on my head. It will eventually sort itself out just patience!!
(Original post by Cooro)

Make sure that when you shower, you cover it, as it will get wet and go weird.
When you play rugby, make sure you cover it, else you could get mud in it.
Offline2ReputationRep:(Original post by cherlios)
they sell some stuff. think its orange, but you mix it with boiling water and swab it on, hurts like hell but sorted me out many times then just dress it before the game!
I agree, put some of that on every day, will keep the wound clean and will heal quicker.
getting mud in it isnt the end of the world, as long as you clean it after and the rest it you'll be fine. if fact on several occasions ive had a couple of blood injuries whilst playing rugby and just packed them with mud to stop the bleeding. (obviously just scratches, if i was properly leaking then i go to hospital). its all about keeping it in perspective
(Original post by tezw)
On the day of the match or training, cover it with a plaster or something similar and use a tubogrip over it to keep in place.
I had one bad graze on the hip once, just on the waistline, really nasty as my trousers' waistlines kept rubbing it.
A friend suggested me to put some tea tree oil mixed with water on it. I did that and protected the wound with a plaster afterwards, worked a treat - but kept it uncovered at night to let it breathe.
simply as salvon, keep it clean and gauze on for the night, let it breathe afterwards and git your teeth though the pain, or mild pain killers savlon never fails to work i use all the time with cuts and grazes and i have plently of them, keep fallin off cycling and horse riding which dont help.
Ooh. I got one of these at the TSR Football Meet on Saturday. I'm in good company, it seems.
Anyway, I've let mine air and so on. Gave it a bath too. It's a little happier, but still foamy and technicoloured.
I can't really bend my leg, so I wouldn't play rugby if you're in the same condition.
I have to play its the grand final... hahaha, after that the season is over.

I'm not worried about it getting worse, I want it cured! hahaha
It might affect my performance in the final... want to be 100% ready for it.
Why don't you just let the puss dry out and try to avoid re-opening the wound until it falls off by itself? The puss is supposed to be dead germs which your white blood cells have effectively killed, leaving it on your wound and letting it dry is okay. If you keep washing it off it will just keep your wound raw and germs will attack it and it will become gooey again. I had one of these when i was about 4....and it got infected, the scar remained to this day = =.
I'm not sure if you can find this kinda medicine in the UK but it's one of those liquidy ones like Betadine(iodine based) or some red liquid(forgot the name)which is more effective but REALLY painful when you pour them on, but it effectively kills everything and dry the wound.
Don't put alot of antiseptic cream on it, one of my friends got a graze and she was so cared it was gonna scar that she went through all the trouble of finding antiseptic creams from around the world (chinese, western) and put it on the wound to heal it. She over did it and now it's an ugly scar the size of the wound.
The best way is to just let it dry, maybe try a hair dryer.
hair dryer will burn it :s
just leave it to dry out, go see your doctor, he might give you antibiotics if it's infected.
if now, just put antiseptic (i recomend TCP) on it once, maybe twice a day. and just leave it be.
good luck with the final.

President Obama Is Ending Black America's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Policy
Since President Obama declared his support for marriage equality last week, many politicos (including myself) have speculated about whether black voters, who are divided on the issue, will abandon him. The consensus among gay rights supporters and foes alike is a resounding "no." Sure, some black clergy are outraged, but even they admit this issue is no deal breaker. And the ongoing debate over an unlikely black backlash eclipses what promises to be the most profound impact of the president's "evolution."
President Obama has single-handedly dismantled the "don't ask, don't tell" policy within the black church — that silent disdain on issues of sexuality that renders black gay and transgender people all but invisible, shames people living with HIV, and masquerades as love-the-sinner-hate-the-sin compassion.

"I knew there was a scene in which I had to get naked," Cooper, 30, told PEOPLE at Wednesday's special Chanel and Vogue screening of the film in New York for the Cinema Society. "It wasn't gratuitous, but still quite overwhelming. There were a series of devices I was offered to wear which protect my [naughty] bits. And I gave Keira the choice in a very gentlemanly way, 'You can chose either the furry soft, the pink diaper or the Spandex."
Although Cooper, who was also seen (though not in the altogether) in Mama Mia, considered all three "horrifying"], when it came to Knightley "I showed her the devices, offered my opinion and she chose the diaper."
Why the diaper? "Because she wanted to humiliate me," insists Cooper. "She laughed and laughed and laughed. That's what made the scene quite comfortable [to shoot]. We realized how ridiculous it was."
He Said, She SaidThat, however, isn't quite how Knightley, 23, recalls the filming and the specific costume prop.
"I don't remember choosing," she tells PEOPLE. "I think he's making that up. Unless I was feeling particularly malicious, I don't think I would have chosen to put a man in a skin-colored diaper. I could have been feeling particularly malicious, however, that's entirely possible."
As for how Cooper looked in – and out – of the diaper, "He's a good-looking guy," said Knightley.
Added Saul Dibb, director of the movie, which also stars Ralph Fiennes: "It's always the women who are naked. In this one, the men are naked, largely."

Where does buck stop at prison?
Evidence has been accumulating all year that the Erie County Prison has a deep-seated problem with poor management, related deficiencies in its work culture and even criminality.
There were the two guards, now former guards, who received jail time for their roles in the beating of an inmate carried out by other inmates and orchestrated by one of the guards for personal reasons. It's a bad sign when prison guards turn into residents.
There's the guard, now former guard, charged last month with stealing prison ammunition and selling some of it. It's interesting that the charges indicate the buyer of said ammunition was a former guard.
There's the prison supervisor, now former supervisor, who is charged with conspiring to falsify prison personnel records in a way that resulted in a guard being overpaid by $3,428 over several months earlier this year.
The overpaid guard, by the way, is the same guy charged with stealing the ammunition. The supervisor is his wife.
Get the picture?
Grossman has stepped forward with solutions of sorts.
He wants to create a $40,600-a-year job for an inventory coordinator who would do things like count the bullets the former guard is charged with stealing.
He wants a merit selection committee to help him find a new deputy warden to replace the one he demoted and suspended.
He wants County Council to approve and fund a third-party review of prison operations with an eye toward putting in place measures to increase oversight and accountability.
He wants his finance director and head of accounting to help implement policies and procedures for payroll, inventory and other basic management functions to make sure employees don't steal stuff, get paid money they haven't earned or tamper with records.
Where Grossman's reform push isn't going is the place where it should have started. The guy who will be running the place after all of the above plays out will be the same guy on whose watch all of the bad stuff happened.
Grossman said prison Warden James Veshecco responded to problems at the prison and tried to make changes. The record suggests Veshecco wasn't very good at it.
"I have learned nothing that tells me that (Veshecco) fell down on the job," Grossman said. "I'm not going to dismiss him. He's been a faithful, loyal and dependable worker."
A prison's warden is not a worker; he's a leader and a manager in a critical role. And being faithful, loyal and dependable are certainly admirable qualities, but in the prison business they're no substitute for being effective.
A majority of County Council members told Erie Times-News reporter Kevin Flowers that they're inclined to sign off on an independent review of prison operations and culture. But a couple of them indicated they aren't as ready as Grossman to absolve Veshecco of responsibility for this mess.
Imagine that.

Leaving the Shade of the Middle Ground contains thirty-five of F.R. Scott's poems from across the five decades of his career. Scott's artistic responses to a litany of social problems, as well as his emphasis on nature and landscapes, remain remarkably relevant. Scott weighed in on many issues important to Canadians today, using different terms, perhaps, but with no less urgency than we feel now: biopolitics, neoliberalism, environmental concerns, genetic modification, freedom of speech, civil rights, human rights, and immigration. Scott is best remembered for "The Canadian Authors Meet," "W.L.M.K," and "Laurentian Shield," but his poetic oeuvre includes significant occasional poems, elegies, found poems, and pointed satires. This selection of poems showcases the politics, the humour, and the beauty of this central modernist figure.
The introduction by Laura Moss and the afterword by George Elliott Clarke provide two distinct approaches to reading Scott's work: in the contexts of Canadian modernism and of contemporary literary history, respectively.
Born in 1899 in Quebec City, Francis Reginald (Frank) Scott was a public poet, an accomplished editor and mentor of a generation of writers, an influential professor of constitutional law, and a founding member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). Emerging as one of the "Montreal Group" of modernist poets of the 1920s, Scott spent the next five decades writing poetry and working to transform both Canadian poetics and politics. With a penchant for satire, Scott's work is sometimes playful and witty and sometimes gravely concerned with the legacies of political ineptitude and the fragility of both humanity and the environment.
Laura Moss is an associate professor in the Department of English at the University of British Columbia and the former director of the UBC International Canadian Studies Centre. She is the associate editor of the journal Canadian Literature, co-editor (with Cynthia Sugars) of the two volume Canadian Literature in English: Texts and Contexts (2008, 2009), and the editor of Is Canada Postcolonial? Unsettling Canadian Literature (WLU Press, 2003).
George Elliott Clarke is the inaugural E.J. Pratt Professor of Canadian Literature at the University of Toronto. Named a Trudeau Foundation Fellow in 2005, Clarke is a revered poet, librettist, and novelist. For his collection Execution Poems, he received the Governor General's Award for Poetry in 2001. His bestselling poetry-novel, Whylah Falls, is a major text in Canadian literature.
"Scott's poetry humbly argues for a place on our shelves for a Canadian political poetry that is large enough to avoid the petty debate on specifics, yet particular enough not to lose local force."
— Andrew Vaisius, Prairie Fire Review of Books
"With Leaving the Shade of the Middle Ground, the Laurier Poetry series certainly seems to have fulfilled its mandate. There is the hope that more readers will encounter F.R. Scott, an artist who gives a poetic voice to political concerns that are evermore relevant, and who, when he's at his best, writes the kind of poetry you'd like to memorize."
— Vanessa Bonneau, Montreal Review of Books
"Leaving the Shade of the Middle Ground is a fine pick for any world poetry collection, much recommended."
— Midwest Bookwatch, The Poetry Shelf

New Gene That Regulates Body Weight Discovered

Abraham Kovoor was studying a brain protein, called RGS9-2, that he had previously related to the involuntary, random and repetitive body movements that are side effects of drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
While studying these side effects, which are called dyskinesia, Kovoor, an assistant professor in the University of Rhode Island's College of Pharmacy, discovered that RGS9-2 also plays a role in regulating body weight.

Featured Golf News
New Nicklaus Course Opens in Pennsylvania
As the youngest son of golf legend Jack Nicklaus, Mike Nicklaus brings a unique outlook to the golf course design table. His educational background in civil engineering, coupled with his father's teachings and the influence of his three older brothers, have more than prepared him for the challenges of design.
To Mike - who was in Downingtown, Pa., on Monday to help cut the ribbon at Applecross Country Club and play the golf course with a few members - design is more than just "family business." It is a fascination that has been a significant part of his life.
"Being the youngest has its advantages," said Mike, who has been involved with design projects from North Carolina to Southern Spain to Japan. "I have been able to take what my dad and brothers have taught me about their individual design styles and blend them with my own. They've shared their philosophies and strategies for taking undeveloped land and creating works of art that are not only enjoyable to play, but are aesthetically pleasing. This is a challenge that I have embraced. I hope people will see that manifested at Applecross."
A residential golf community featuring an array of amenities, Applecross Country Club is located less than 40 minutes from Philadelphia in Downingtown and now represents the Philly area's first Nicklaus Design golf course. The golf course at Applecross weaves through the Chester County countryside providing a unique-to-the-area experience for golfers, blending into a landscape that boasts views of lakes and rolling countryside. Wetlands and water features grace the surroundings of 14 of the holes. The golf course features four sets of tees and plays to a par of 72 at anywhere from 5,212 yards (red) to 7,028 yards (black).
In addition to the course, Applecross features an all-season recreation center with an Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool, an indoor pool, a kids' "splash zone," Jacuzzi and tennis courts. There is also a 10,000-square-foot sports pavilion outfitted with cardio and weight-training equipment, areas for personal training and specialized exercise, and wellness classes such as yoga, Pilates and aerobics. Member dining is available at the clubhouse and garden pavilion overlooking the 18th hole.
The residential community features seven neighborhoods and more than 1,000 houses ranging from town homes to estate homes and active adult living villas designed by Pulte Homes. The project is slated to be completed by 2017.

Facebook 1Q
results soar
NEW YORK (AP) - Facebook's first-quarter earnings and revenue grew sharply, surpassing Wall Street's expectations thanks to an 82 percent increase in advertising revenue.
The social network said Wednesday that it earned $642 million, or 25 cents per share, in the January-March quarter, up from $219 million, or 9 cents per share, in the same period a year ago. Adjusted earnings were 34 cents per share. Revenue rose 71 percent to $2.5
Analysts anticipated earnings of 24 cents per share on revenue of $2.36 billion.
Facebook also said that its finance chief, David Ebersman, is leaving on June 1 after five years. He'll be replaced by David Wehner, currently vice president of corporate finance and business planning.
Wellness programs grow more popular
NEW?YORK?(AP)?- The little voice nagging you to put down the cake and lace up the running shoes is increasingly coming from your employer. It is likely to grow louder with a looming change under the federal health care overhaul.
Companies are using wellness programs to improve employees' health as a means to reduce their medical costs. They're asking workers to take physical exams and control conditions like diabetes. Some are also dangling the threat of higher monthly premiums to prod workers into action.
The Affordable Care Act calls for a 40 percent tax on expensive benefit plans starting in 2018. In turn, many companies that offer employer-based coverage already have begun looking for ways to lower costs and avoid that tax.
Russian social media CEO quit
MOSCOW (AP) - The founder of Russia's leading social media network - often described as Russia's Mark Zuckerberg - has left his post as CEO and fled the country as cronies of President Vladimir Putin have made steady inroads into the company's ownership.
The slow-motion ouster of Pavel Durov from the network known as VKontakte is the latest sign that independent media outlets in Russia have become increasingly imperiled.
The loss of Durov's leadership in VKontakte means that the space for free speech on the Russian web could shrink even further.
As one of his final acts of defiance, Durov posted online last week what he said were documents from the security services, demanding personal details from 39 Ukraine-linked groups on VKontakte.

Hard work will matter less, inherited wealth more. The fortunes of the few will unsettle the foundations of democracy.

High Court Hears Petition against Mikvah for Married Women Only
Latest update: September 5th, 2012
Israel's Supreme Court on Monday ordered the Minister of Religious Affairs Yaakov Margi and the Chief Rabbinate Council to explain why they not allow single women to immerse in state-run mikvahs, Kikar HaShabbat reports.
Justices Eliakim Rubinstein, Esther Hayut and Uri Shoham have recently been discussing a petition requesting that any Jewish woman, regardless of her marital status, should be allowed to dip in the mikvahs run by the religious councils.
The petitioners are Oriya Pliah, Amital Sachs and the Center for Women's Justice (CWJ), who are seeking to change the policy.
The petition was initially brought before Justice Rubinstein, who ruled that the hearing should be moved to a panel of three judges. Now this panel has issued a conditional order requesting clarifications on a matter which could be seen as purely halachic in nature and thus outside the purview of the secular court.
According to their website, the Center for Women's Justice is a public interest law organization dedicated to defending and protecting the right of women in Israel to equality, dignity and justice within Jewish law.
CWJ carries out legal activity and advocacy aimed at ending practices that discriminate against women in the name of the Jewish religion. CWJ files key lawsuits in civil courts across Israel, with the aim of setting legal precedents and achieving systemic solutions to religious dilemmas that compromise gender democracy and threaten the Jewish future. CWJ also carries out Social Awareness activities which educate the public about marriage, divorce and social justice in Jewish life and promote social change.Tibbi Singer

Are we over-vaccinating our pets?
March 3, 2009 - Amy Jo Hanna-Eckenrode
We want to be responsible pet owners as much as we want what is best for our pets.
In most states dog's are required to receive a rabies vaccination every year among others. Yet, the rabies vaccine is also known to have some of the most dangerous side effects for pets.
Recently, French researchers have proven that one rabies vaccination gives dogs immunity for 7+ years.
Since this finding, a few states, most recently Arkansas, are updating and passing new laws to extend rabies vaccination schedules for dogs and cats. Arkansas law now requires the vaccine to be administered every three years instead of annually.
We certainly don't want to jeopardize the health or welfare of any person or animal but we may just be doing so anyway by over-immunizing our pets.
This is a worthwhile discussion to have with your veterinarian to learn his/her current level of knowledge about this new research and findings.
I consider my vet (and entire Metzger Animal Hospital) to be one of the finest in the nation. Dr. Griffiths recommended not even giving my Jesse a rabies or any other vaccine after she reached the age of 12. He said it was not necessary and the side effects could be hard on her than beneficial. (I never doubted him).
Like so many prescribed human medications, I tend to think we were led to believe that annual rabies shots were necessary to protect against this virus, when, in fact, it was just another easy revenue-producing product for pharmaceutical companies who rely on consumer ignorance and faith and dependence in the medical/pharmaceutical fields.
Lesson 101:
* Rabies is a viral zoonotic neuroinvasive disease is contracted by the bite of an infected animal. The disease makes it way to the brain by following the nervous system, causing acute encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). It can affect humans and animals (mammals). If left untreated it is usually fatal.
* Hats off to Louis Pasteur and Emile Roux who developed the vaccine in 1885 (from infected rabbits).
* Wildlife, farm animals, dogs, cats and humans can contract the rabies virus. Rabies is not super common in the US and was once rare in most of the US. Raccoons have been suffering a rabies epidemic in the mid-Atlantic and NE US since the '70s. Skunks are the primary carriers in the Midwest. The most widely distributed reservoir of rabies in the US, and the source of most human cases in the U.S. are bats.
