It is our goal to make HLA a positive learning environment for your child. In order to ensure that we provide the best possible support for your child during the school day, we ask that you help us by supporting school policies, including those described below.
Dress Code
Bottoms– Navy pants with belt (no denim, jeans or sweatpants)
Tops– Light blue, white, or navy blue shirt, (button down or polo shirt), either short or long sleeve. In cold weather, a navy sweater or cardigan, (no hoodies), may also be worn.
Foot Apparel– Dress shoes or sneakers will be permitted at the student's option. No flip-flops or backless/strapless sandals are allowed due to safety reasons.
Bottoms– Navy pants with belt (no denim, jeans or sweatpants), dress, skirt, jumper, (not plaid) or skort (no denim). White or navy blue tights.
Tops– Light blue, white or navy blue shirt, (button down or polo shirt), either short of long sleeve. In cold weather, a navy sweater or cardigan (no hoodies) may also be worn.
Foot Apparel– Dress shoes or sneakers shall be permitted at the student's option. No flip-flops or backless/strapless sandals are allowed due to safety reasons.
Please note: Hoodies or hooded sweatshirts/sweaters are not considered to be appropriate dress code.
Just a note on Hebrew Language Academy t-shirts in general:
T-shirts, including school shirts are NOT dress code. The only exception to this will be during trips and/or spirit week and scheduled PE days. Wearing an HLA t-shirt during a trip is expected, there will be no exceptions.
HLA will allow students to wear navy blue sweat pants and either a navy blue t-shirt, HLA school t-shirt or white or navy blue polo shirt on scheduled PE days.
Thank you.
HLA does not guarantee busing nor facilitate the transportation process. Each of the children is entered into the Department of Education (DOE), Office of Pupil Transportation, database system. The DOE determines who is eligible for transportation assistance, and the DOE will notify parents directly about pupil transportation.
Health/Medical Services
School Nurse
A school nurse is available at posted hours. These hours are typically posted on the school nurse's office door (or are available from the director of school operations). If a student is injured, the faculty member in charge must bring him or her to the school nurse. In a medical emergency in school, the School Nurse should be notified immediately.
Only the school nurse may determine if a child must go home for medical reasons. In the event that a school nurse is not present, the school must receive permission from a child's parent or legal guardian to allow the child to go home for medical reasons.
Medication Administration
Except as expressly permitted by the School, School employees, including faculty, are not to administer medication of any kind (including Tylenol and cough medicine) to students. Only registered nurses and doctors who have proper authorization are permitted to do so, except in the event of a true emergency. Students may not have prescription or non-prescription medication in their possession without the express written consent of the school nurse.
In the absence of a school nurse, only a principal, dean, teacher, coach, physical therapist, or occupational therapist, who is authorized and has received training in safely administering medications from a school nurse or licensed physician, may administer oral, topical, inhalant, or injectable medications. No medication (prescription or non-prescription), however, should be administered to any student without the written order of a licensed physician, licensed dentist, advanced practice registered nurse or physician assistant, and the written authorization of a parent or guardian.
The administration of medications as prescribed shall be recorded on an Individual Student Medication Form. As each form is completed, the school nurse will file it in the student's cumulative health record.
CPR and Defibrillation
The School has access to an Automatic External Defibrillators ("AED") for emergency purposes. An AED is a portable, lightweight, automatic external defibrillator that is used to shock the heart of a person who is undergoing sudden cardiac arrest. The use of this piece of equipment requires training and is an essential part of administering emergency first aid immediately to a heart attack victim. The AED enables a trained individual to provide potentially lifesaving assistance in an emergency. Since sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone at anytime, it is vital to know what to do and who to call to perform CPR and defibrillation.
H1N1 Policies and Procedures
HLA follows the New York City Department of Educations policies and procedures for addressing the current H1N1 virus. To read current updates on HLA and NYC DOE's plans for addressing the H1N1 virus, please visit our H1N1 Notice page.
School Safety
The maintenance of safety and good order is the collective responsibility of all school staff, parents, students and agencies such as the NYPD/NYCDOE Division of Safety. To help ensure safety, HLA has the following policies:
To maintain safety and security, only authorized visitors are allowed in HLA. No visitors (children, parents, spouse, partners, or friends) may come to HLA without official prior approval from the Head of School or the Head of School's designee. All visitors must sign in at the security desk and show a legal identification. All visitors must enter the Main Office and express the purpose of their visit for approval by the Head of School or the Head of School's designee. Unless staff has planned visits in their schedules, the presence of visitors may negatively reflect on classroom activities causing unwarranted disruption and possibly diminish productivity.
Personal Belongings
In the interest of safety and security, the School reserves the right to search all bags and containers brought onto the School premises, at any time.
Fire Drill/Evacuation Procedures
The School conducts fire and other emergency drills in accordance with applicable state and local laws. All staff and students are expected to participate in such drills, as building and safety personnel require.
Separation of Church and State
HLA is a public school and public schools are prohibited from encouraging religious devotion or instructing students in any religion, although teaching about religion from a purely secular, academic viewpoint is permitted. Each HLA employee will participate in professional development to ensure that proper guidelines are followed at all times with no exception. If a staff member willingly and knowingly teaches about religion in an improper way as a public school employee of HLA, such employee is subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment. Staff members are also not permitted to supervise or otherwise participate in non-instructional religious clubs or activities taking place on campus, except in a purely custodial capacity. The staff will, however, accommodate any student's personal religious observance, as any public school must do under the First Amendment.
For more information about HLA's policies and procedures, please contact our school offices directly.
Building Updates
Friday, April 1, 2016
Dear HLA Parents and Staff,
Hebrew Language Academy, Friends of Hebrew Language Academy, and Hebrew Public have no involvement or affiliation with the development of the property adjacent to our school. To the best of our knowledge, the owner of the adjacent property (who also owns the HLA building) has submitted an application to the Department of Buildings that refers to the project as "New building for faculty and staff housing to be used in conjunction with 2186 Mill Ave." Neither Hebrew Language Academy, Friends of Hebrew Language Academy, or Hebrew Public have any agreement – formal or informal – with the owner regarding the use of any new building for faculty or staff housing purposes.
– The Hebrew Public Team
Tuesday, March 29, 2016
Dear HLA Parents, Students and Staff,
As you know from prior communications, there have been concerns about intermittent odor issues at HLA stemming from activity at the adjacent Reds building. Based on those concerns, we commissioned several rounds of air quality tests, including formaldehyde testing on 2/5/16, and three rounds of tests for volatile organic compounds in February and March. Several parents asked to see copies of these reports. They can be found below. In addition, several parents have raised questions about the history and construction of our building (which opened in 2015). The Remedial Completion Report for the site can also be found below.
Based on our review of these reports, we do not believe that there is any cause for concern regarding environmental safety at HLA. We have also shared all of these reports with the New York City Department of Education, New York City Department of Health, and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine's Pediatric Environmental Health Center.
Thank you.

Seven-run ninth stuns Naturals
Frisco plates seven runs on eight hits in the ninth to rally for win
By Frisco RoughRiders | June 29, 2013 6:38 PM ET
Frisco (5-5, 44-36)
NW Arkansas (6-4, 31-49)
WP: Justin Miller (1-0)
LP: J.C. Sulbaran (2-4)
SV: Randy Henry (1)
FRI HR: None
NWA HR: None
SPRINGDALE, ARK. (JUNE 29, 2013) - With seven runs in the top of the ninth, the Frisco RoughRiders rallied to topple the Northwest Arkansas Naturals by a 10-7 score at Arvest Ballpark on Saturday night.
Both starting pitchers got off to tremendous starts. Jason Adam retired the first six RoughRiders he faced, and he didn't allow a hit until the fourth. Frisco's Neil Ramirez struck out the first five Naturals to bat against him, but after that, he surrendered four straight singles, allowing three to score in the second inning, giving the Naturals a 3-0 edge in the second.
Northwest Arkansas (7-3, 32-48) added another run in the third. Brett Eibner led off the frame with his team-leading fifth triple. Two batters later, Ramirez balked in the runner from third to extend the lead to 4-0 Northwest Arkansas. Ramirez then fanned the next three batters faced-he posted nine strikeouts in his five innings of work on the way to a no decision.
Frisco (4-6, 43-37) got their first run in the fourth. Guilder Rodriguez drew a leadoff walk off of Naturals starter Jason Adam, and he got to second base on a single from Brett Nicholas. Alex Buchholz then bounced into a double play, but Chih-Hsien Chiang singled on a grounder to left to bring home a run to cut the lead to 4-1.
Off Jimmy Reyes in the seventh, the Naturals added another run to extend the lead to 5-1. In the next half inning, the top of the eighth, the 'Riders plated a pair of runs off Santiago Garrido. Heading to the bottom of the eighth, the 'Riders trailed by just two runs at 5-3. The Naturals, though, collected an unearned run off the ledger of Justin Miller in the bottom half of the eighth and had a 6-3 advantage.
And then the game went to the ninth. In a wild half-inning, the RoughRiders collected eight hits and a walk against relievers Scott Alexander and J.C. Sulbaran. They plated seven runs. Every RoughRiders hitter other than Odubel Herrera reached base in the inning, and nine consecutive 'Riders reached safely. The big hit came ten batters into the inning when Ryan Strausborger hit a bases-clearing triple to put Frisco ahead 10-6.
In the bottom half of the ninth, Alex Claudio entered for the RoughRiders to try and close the game out. He could not do so. Facing four batters, he fanned one and allowed three singles, as the Naturals loaded the bases and brought the potential tying run to the plate in the Texas League home run leader Matt Fields.
That's when Frisco went to Randy Henry. Fields popped a ball out to center field, deep enough for a sacrifice fly to score a run, but that was all. Henry got Cheslor Cuthbert to ground into a fielder's choice to end the game for a 10-7 RoughRiders victory.
Miller (1-0), despite the unearned run allowed, collected the win. Allowing the final four runs in the seven-run ninth, Sulbaran (2-4) took the loss, and Henry collected his first Texas League save.
The RoughRiders continue on their road trip with game two against the Northwest Arkansas Naturals on Sunday night at 6:00 p.m. Carlos Pimentel (7-5, 4.29 ERA) makes the start for Frisco against the Naturals starting pitcher Sugar Ray Marimon (4-8, 4.78 ERA). Fans can tune in to the play-by-play broadcast on www.RidersBaseball.com beginning at 5:40.
Frisco returns to Dr Pepper Ballpark on Wednesday, July 3 at 7:05 p.m., beginning a six-game home stand and a three-game series against the Arkansas Travelers.

The Apple tablet may be all consumers are talking (and arguing about right now), but it certainly won't be the only device to cause a stir with this form factor in 2010.
Creating early buzz is semiconductor manufacturer and ex-Motorola arm Freescale which has announced plans to show off its own exciting and jaw droppingly affordable (if unnamed) tablet at CES. Base specs are a 7in 1024 x 600 touchscreen, a small SSD (4GB - 64GB options), 802.11n WiFi, a 3MP camera, integrated 3G, Bluetooth 2.1, an accelerometer, optional keyboard dock and SD card expansion slot.
Software will either be Android or based on another Linux build (Chrome OS?), but the real taking points are the battery life and price. Given Freescales use of an ARM Cortex A8 processor (the same chip that is found in the iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre), it claims the tablet will last up to 12 hours on a single charge. Furthermore with the company claiming the device will have just "one-third the size and volume of today's typical netbooks" (200mm x 128mm x 14.9mm, 376 grams) it could prove a major hit.
What might just seal that is Freescale discussing a sub $200 RRP for the tablet (£124) which, if true, would almost have me signed up sight unseen. That said, with a CES debut confirmed we'll give it some serious groping time over the next few days.
Stay tuned.

Coming off of an historic 2011 season, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has signed a contract that sets its own piece of history. Gronkowski agreed to a six-year contract extension Friday worth up to $54 million in new money, which gives Gronkowski the richest deal for a tight end in NFL history. It includes an $8 million signing bonus. Since he is already under contract through the 2013 season, Gronkowski will remain a Patriot through 2019 if he plays out the entire extension.
Gronkowski scored 18 total touchdowns, 17 receiving, last year -- both NFL records for tight ends. He caught 90 passes and ended up with 1,327 receiving yards.
Fantasy Analysis:
Gronk was absolutely brilliant last season. But you won't see me paying for 2011 stats. If someone wants to take him in the second-round of a 12-team draft, be my guest. I just don't see how he can pull off a repeat. Plus, tight end is so deep with talent yet again this season, the value move is to wait, wait, wait.

CBA Course Offers Pre-Release Screening of "Please Remove Your Shoes"05/20/2010
As part of his Summer 2010 LEAP course, "Terrorism and the Global Economy", Dr. Andrew Thomas, Assistant Professor of Marketing and International Business presented a pre-release screening of the documentary Please Remove Your Shoes on Friday, May 14, 2010.
This documentary examines the creation and management of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It compares the period before 911 to the current situation nine years later and asks: "Are we really any better for all our money spent? Or is it safe to say that nothing has changed?"
LEAP (Leading Edge Applied Program) courses were introduced by the CBA this summer to provide students with an opportunity to learn about the latest "hot topics" in business or gain deeper understanding of a particular topic that is not fully addressed in the core part of their program. The courses also capitalize on the expertise of individual CBA faculty that may not be routinely incorporated into the courses they usually teach.
The Founding-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Transportation Security and founder of AirRage.org, Thomas is a recognized expert on aviation security. He is a bestselling writer who has authored, co-authored or edited more than 15 books including Aviation Security Management, Aviation Insecurity: The New Challenges of Air Travel, and Air Rage: Crisis in the Skies.
Thomas was interviewed about aviation security by WDOK on May 7, 2010 and WKYC Good Company on May 11, 2010.

Trial of prison chief stirs memories of Romania's Stalinist past
By Radu-Sorin Marinas
CAMPINA Romania (Reuters) - Valentin Cristea still remembers what life was like in one of the most grisly jails under Romania's former communist rulers, where political prisoners were sent.
"We were not allowed to sit on the bed until it was time to sleep at 10 pm," said Cristea, now 84, who spent six years in Ramnicu Sarat prison in eastern Romania and lost 20 kg (44 pounds) during his detention.
"Three elements were severe there: loneliness, which can drive you nuts, extreme cold during winter and food scarcity," Cristea, believed to be the only survivor still alive from the jail, told Reuters.
Dozens of political prisoners perished at the jail, which between 1956 and 1963 was commanded by Alexandru Visinescu, whose trial for crimes against humanity began in a Bucharest court on Wednesday.
Prosecutors have accused Visinescu, who turns 89 on Saturday, of subjecting inmates to beatings and starvation, denying them medical treatment and heating. He has said he only followed orders and blamed the country's Stalinist leadership.
The Institute for Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of Romanian Exile (IICCMER) says it has given the court evidence of Visinescu's direct involvement in 12 deaths.
Visinescu's case is only the start, the institute says. Investigations are under way into four other former prison commanders and IICCMER has said it has a list of 35 prison officials now aged between 81 and 99 who committed crimes.
Up to 2 million people are believed to have been killed, imprisoned, deported or relocated in Romania between 1945 and 1989 under the dictatorships of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej and Nicolae Ceausescu, one of Eastern Europe's most repressive. Continued...

TUKWILA, Wash. – On paper, there might not be a more intriguing offensive quartet in MLS than Fredy Montero, Mauro Rosales, Álvaro Fernández and Eddie Johnson.
Assuming all goes according to plan, they will all be in the starting lineup together for the first time when the Seattle Sounders visit the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday (TSN/RDS2 in Canada, MLS LIVE in the US).
Up until now, the foursome has been limited to just about 15 minutes of playing time together. Even that only occurred when Fernández came on as a 58th-minute substitute in the Sounders' 1-0 loss to Real Salt Lake.
"We're looking forward to seeing how we do the job together," Fernández said through an interpreter. "Each one of us has different characteristics, but we're hoping to take advantage of each of our strengths in the attack."
At their best, all four players have proven to be capable scorers and playmakers. Despite all but Montero missing significant time due to injury, they've already combined for six goals and four assists this season.
Aside from their clear value going forward, Sounders manager Sigi Schmid wants to know which of them might be willing to alter their offensively focused style for the betterment of the team.
"I think the potential is very good," Schmid said. "The question at the end of the day is, is the mix going to be right?
"I had a coach tell me a long time ago that in every part of the field you needed an playmaker, a player and a worker. Now, when you look at those four, not to take anything away, but who becomes the worker of those four? There's definitely some players and some playmakers, for sure. Now you need to make sure you have that balance."
At times, Montero has shown at least some willingness to take on a little added defensive responsibility. In contrast to his previous reputation, the Colombian has frequently checked back on defense this year and has shown much more of a complete game while the goals were slow to come.
Like his coach, Montero is cautious not to get too far ahead of himself when discussing the group's potential.
"It's going to be the first game we play together, so hopefully we can do good," Montero said. "But we know we need time, we need more games. We will get the best of everyone. Hopefully we can do well this game and it will be good for us."
Jeremiah Oshan covers the Seattle Sounders for MLSsoccer.com and SB Nation.

How do you strip the paint from a classic Corvette without the hours of tedious chemical stripping or sanding, especially the hard to reach places? Soda blasting of course, after all, this is a soda blasting web site.
Soda Blasting a Corvette to Remove Paint
This is another classic Vet we were recently called to soda blast. The owners painter of choice advised soda blasting to get the job done, safely, fast and thoroughly. This is a very nice 1971 model in really solid condition, in Crownsville, Maryland. The car was ready with everything removed that would normally come off for painting.

Here we are, one afternoon and all ready to go to the body shop for prep and paint. We look forward to doing his 1965 convertable in the not too distant future.

Dear Diary,
All we want to do is to change my #1 picture. It's still on the Memorial Day photo, but Dogster won't let us get to our "Manage Photos" page. What's up with this? I apparently can write in my diary, but that's about it. Any ideas out there?
~Shaki's Lament~
I wish to change my photo,
but Dogster says, "No-Go!"
What's a pup to do?
We luv sharing stories 'n' pics,
But Dogster hasn't given us the fix,
What can this pup do?
If you've an "in" with headquarters,
let them know we're "out-of-sorters" [C'mon, what rhymes with quarters?]
This 'senji fur sadly cries, "Ba-roo!!!"
Mommy told me about a front page article in our daily paper that was about a breeder of Havanese puppies in my home state. 86 puppies and dogs were seized, with four of them found dead at the kennel. This person's web site was still up, advertising puppies for sale. The picture shown of one malnourished pup was heartbreaking, and that was just one of the many that were suffering. What is even more shocking is that this person was at one time the president of the Havanese Society of America and a former judge. Our state has very good laws in place now to keep watch over these "puppy farms," as some are called. My question is how and why did it take so long for the situation to be noticed? Also, a truly caring breeder would certainly ask for help from the outside or from other breeders and/or kennel owners by saying, "I'm in over my head. Help!"

Dear Diary,
It's been a long 2-weeks, but my Mommy 'n' Daddy FINALLY came home. They were in South Africa, 'n' I know that's a Long Way Away. They even went on a safari 'n' saw big ol' animals that could have had them for lunch!!! I'm just glad they did not take ME! They also saw some wild dogs on the safari. These dogs are a special breed found on the Reserve. They say they want to go back, but I'm not sure if I'm going to let them 'cause of those wild animals walking around. You know, around here raccoons get in our garbage, but there big ol' baboons get in the garbage cans.
I'm just sooooo glad they are home now, 'n' willing to give me lots of tummy-rubs that I've been missing out on!

The new book Empowered highlights the benefits of empowering HEROes (highly empowered and resourceful operatives) within the workforce. As we approach our first-ever CIO Forum in October, I'm looking around for great examples of how governments are using social technologies to empower employees to serve empowered citizens.
When I think of government IT projects, I often think of multimillion-dollar projects lasting years before going live. But it doesn't always have to be that way, as the following example illustrates.
Peter Koht is a HERO working for the City of Santa Cruz Redevelopment Office. In 2009, the city was facing its worst budget crisis (a problem familiar to many city officials). Running out of options, the city had already shut down civic services such as the community pool, museums, and a family resource center when it faced up to the reality that the people of the city needed to be involved in the decisions about what services to cut. Unfortunately, the voices too often heard at civic meetings were representatives of the extreme viewpoints at either end of the political spectrum. In an effort to collect more ideas from the silent majority, Peter suggested the city could tap into social media to connect with its citizens. Lacking any kind of budget or resources, Peter had to rely on the help of three volunteers to get a community site up and running in a week.

Anyone familiar with social technologies will remember the launch of Google Wave in the fall of 2009. It was a new kind of communication platform released into a beta test with 100,000 invitations sent out. Google's strategy in limiting the rollout was designed not to overload the architecture (and perhaps to create a sense of scarcity, which it did very well). Google also wanted to develop the platform experientially based on user feedback. However, on Wednesday Google announced it was pulling the plug on Wave. Eric Schmidt tried to put a positive spin on it, describing Wave as a failed experiment that was also a learning experience. And there are certainly some lessons that can be applied to the rollout of enterprise social platforms.
Numbers Matter – Develop A Strategy For Rapid Adoption

Rollin Ford has one of the toughest CIO jobs on the planet. He leads a global IT team in one of the world's largest companies by revenue and employees, a company that has earned a reputation for leadership in supply chain that has allowed it to dominate its markets. Yet Wal-Mart is constantly under pressure to maintain its leadership position. In the US, Target has become a fierce competitor, while in the UK, Tesco may have overtaken Wal-Mart in supply-chain leadership, with Tesco's move into the US watched closely by Wal-Mart.
Earlier this year, Ford sat on a CIO panel discussing IT's role in innovation. His thoughts on innovation also touched on strategy and alignment. He suggested that innovation starts with the customer, then leads into a business strategy, and then it gets enabled by technology. However, he acknowledges, "there are very few secrets out there." Ford suggests that the only competitive advantage over time is the speed at which your organization can implement and leverage innovative ideas: "Your organization has to embrace change and new technologies, and that becomes your model. It's about getting from A to B and doing it quicker than everybody else."

Ed Miliband has not always struck home against the coalition, even when the goal has seemed rather wide. In the Commons this afternoon, however, the opposition leader demonstrated that Labour's critique of the government is getting ever firmer.
The wind is behind Miliband, of course: an economy that has sunk back into double-dip recession, rising unemployment, an superfluous shake-up of the NHS, clear splits between the Lib Dems and Tories on several fronts, including Lords reform.
But the Labour leader has tied this to his theme of a government where ministers are "working for their friends" to ever more effective deployment – even if you consider his use of the phrase "cronies" to be more suitable for a 6th form debating society.
"The heart of this problem is that the government stands up for the wrong people" is the damaging message. Labour is now repeatedly talking about rail fares, energy bills and bank charges – and criticising the overpaid bosses of such companies. And the high cost of living is unlikely to fade as a theme in the coming months.
Miliband's job is made much easier by the Budget, in particular its cut in the 50p rate of income tax. Labour believes this was an open goal, a clearcut symbol of the Read more

LEGO Debuts 'Research Institute,' A Set of Adventurous Female Scientists
In January, 7-year-old Charlotte wrote a stern letter to LEGO. "Today I went to a store and saw legos in two sections. The pink (girls) and the blue (boys). All the girls did was sit at home and go to the beach and shop, and they had no jobs but the boys went on adventures, worked, saved people and had jobs, even swam with sharks." She concluded her note, "I want you to make more LEGO girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun ok!?!"
7yo Charlotte writes an adorable and strongly worded letter to LEGO regarding the lack of adventures for girls. pic.twitter.com/JblNKzCwJs
— SocImages (@SocImages) January 28, 2014
Lego officials told Charlotte they were working on a new female set of figurines. Today, they debuted the Research Institute play set, complete with a paleontologist, astronomer, and chemist—all girls. The set was created by geoscientist Ellen Koojiman; she'd submitted the idea on LEGO's crowdsourced design platform, and more than 10,000 people voted on it. With LEGO's approval, the set went into production! She wrote in a blog post, "It seemed logical that I would suggest a small set of female minifigures in interesting professions to make our LEGO city communities more diverse."
ABC News reports that the collection is already sold out, though it will be available to buy again later this month. It's a momentous launch, but LEGO hasn't overdone the "girl power" aspect. The Research Institute description reads simply, "Make new discoveries with the LEGO Ideas Research Institute with the paleontologist, astronomer and a chemist." No need for a Miss or a "girl" in there; these figures are simply scientists doing their cool jobs, going on adventures as Charlotte would expect.

Getting ready for the jump into full-on theater build
I went the cautious route: First time power on not connected to the internet. Then I updated via USB (ADATA model UV128/16GB fits fine and is USB 3.0, it's even blue), then I setup my net connection.
For disc install I went safe again: Signed out then inserted the disc and let it install (Killzone), then signed in and got the patch. After reading some of the later posts it looks like I will do this for the other 4 discs I have. Just like on PS3 it works better doing the base install then the patch. The rush to make everything seamless has patches going in first, so maybe they update the OS to get the timing right. I didn't think the BD was any louder than a slim 1 but maybe varies from game to game.
Watched a gameplay stream while Contrast was downloading to check the multitasking. The download was not slowed down at all while I was watching the vid stream and actually ended up beating the estimate by 6-7 minutes. Overall I'm happy with how the system does its thing yet that next update with the tweaks we know are coming will be welcome.
Sorry for those having problems. Now that I have one in hand I might be able to field a question or two.
What seems confined about the x1 interface? What you're playing huge and dead center. Everything recent smaller and right below it. A few basic menus nearby. Everything you've specifically pinned on a screen to the left, a storefront to the right. It's simple, obvious and intuitive, and completely customizable. This is pretty much the opposite - it's needlessly complex, completely baffling, counter-intuitive and has zero customizability.
I hope you're right and it radically improves over time. It's not like it has anywhere to go but up, but dear god it has SO FAR to go.
On a brighter note, the quality of the sound through the ds4 headset jack is pretty damn good!
The XB1, the 360, and Windows Metro to me has always been a struggle .... I mean, yes, the thing you are doing is dead center, but after that, weed through the ads and squint so the contrast doesn't blind you, it's really was less intuitive, at least for me, to get around.
The PS4 structure, as it is now, is pretty yet simple. Left to right, up to down, rinse repeat.
Again, I've only spent a few hours with my PS4, and zero with and XB1, so my tastes may change. But based on my idea of "what works for me" and the silly vision in my head as to what the PS4 OS can be, I'm might pleased with what the present, and future, holds.
Is there a headphone volume control, I saw no option for it and the default level could blow an eardrum.

It's not obnoxious like a hair dryer, but still - it's a fairly loud fan. I put my hand behind the unit and the air blowing was pretty warm.
Anyone else have a somewhat loud system? This is the only thing about the PS4 I'm disappointed in, and I'm glad it's nothing more serious.
"My advice: don't spend money on therapy. Spend it in a record store." – Wim Wenders
I still miss the XMB, I have used it since early 2005, and I know it by heart. This interface has some improvements, but I find it takes more time to get what I want if I can find it at all.
Is there a headphone volume control, I saw no option for it and the default level could blow an eardrum.
Hold PS button, go to Adjust Devices. You will see volume control.

Isn't 1.5 the latest?
Also does the PS4 support deep color or xvColor like the PS3?
PS4 is missing the super white option, we get RGB Full and Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr range.
So I got one, plugged it in, it stays on for about a minute, beeps twice reds light and shuts down. Reboots, checks storage status, never completes, and beeps twice shuts down. It won't even stay up long enough so I can write down the mac address so I can get it on the internet.
man, my luck.
Try going into safe mode (hold power for 7 secs)
If its stable on that screen, then reinstall the OS from a USB.
Maybe it's just how my brain works, the time I've spent with the XMB, or something else, but I've had exert little effort getting on and around my PS4.

The present OS doesn't really become an issue until you've started to throw a lot at it. I've got like 10 games downloaded, a few apps and its already a mess. Nothing is in a logical place, it's just haphazardly strewn in one long line of various things mixed together, vaguely in the order of which you last accessed it. It's literally the laziest method of organization possible, and if it hasn't become an issue for you yet, I guarantee it eventually will unless you're a really light user. On my PS3 I've got over 100 games and a ton of apps, but everything is organized into neat little folders, the music doesn't mix with the movies, etc. Once a game gets bumped off that line, it's going to be such a PITA to dig it out again, because you have to go into the store interface to launch it, and dig through an even bigger pile of stuff.
I want to believe it'll rapidly improve, but they've got so much on their plate already. First they've got to implement the promised missing functionality like suspend mode. They've got to get back up to speed on some of the basics like BT headsets and 3D blu-ray. And then they've got to bring back CD, MP3, DLNA, etc. With so much basic work still undone the UI is going to take a back seat. Maybe in a year or two the UI will be where it should have been on day one.
The saving grace is that software can always improve, but hardware is set in stone. I'd rather they screw up the part they can fix, and they absolutely nailed the hardware. The controller is amazing, and the however mediocre the gameplay is, the launch games look phenomenal thanks to the powerful APU.
And not that I want to continue to be a negative nancy, because most of you know by now I've been behind the PS4 for a long time....but remote play is really disappointing. The video is low bitrate with really bad compression, the frame rate is meh, there's more lag than I was expecting, and using the rear touchpad to stand in for buttons really doesn't work well at all. None of that gets across when you see it demoed on a compressed, low bitrate web video that you're not controlling. Taken together, ghosts is basically unplayable unless you like punishment and resogun goes from looking beautiful to a bonafide mess. Those two experiences pretty much soured me on the whole idea, using remote play feels more like a penalty box I'd like to avoid at all costs rather than a really neat feature I'd use all the time. Again, these are mostly software issues, so they can always be improved....but right now the reality is falling way short of the hype.
But I'll leave it off on a high note - if you dig 3D, download the trine 2 demo. It's locked at 720p/60, and it's probably the single best 3D experience I've seen on console. I dont blame most console gamers for hating 3D, because they've been subjected to so many terrible implementations on current gen. If enough games get 3D as right as Trine does, people will finally start to come around on the concept.
First impressions... the unit is very quiet. It is even quieter than my super slim PS3. The camera is a quality unit - the face recognition and voice commands worked as expected from early tests. I'm looking forward to seeing how they implement it in games, like for head tracking.
I didn't focus too much on UI videos before I got mine, so I had to figure out some stuff on my own. Overall, I like the evolution of the XMB, but there is clearly some room for improvement. I'm fine with the top row for the most part, especially how I can more easily power off without seeing the screen (upper right).
It is weird though that to see all of my downloads in compact view, I have to go to the notifications tab. That didn't make much sense. Also, after tapping up from the second row to return to the top row, it puts you right back at your last selection. A nice improvement over the XMB to minimize scrolling around.
I did not care to have my real name forced on the main screen. I know I can control it not going up while online, but I don't like it on my local unit as well. I fixed that issue by simply changing my first and last name to an online handle instead (I kept my real name for Sony's notifications though). That fixed the problem.
The second row for games and apps is a bit of a mess right now. There is no logic to the order - game, game, movie column, game, streaming apps, game, game, Music Unlimited, game... I don't see a sorting option yet to make it better. What is cool though is how hovering over a game let's you know a lot of stuff at a glance, and each icon also serves as the game's own mini-store by showing DLC options to buy. That is VERY nice, since I hated hunting through the PSN store for new Pinball Arcade packs on the PS3.
The PSN store is improved and snappier than the PS3 version - awesome. And like a greedy kid in a candy store, I stuffed my inbox with all the free stuff along with Killzone and NBA 2K14, and started dloading everything (I'm going all digital if possible). Of course trying to get so much slows down dloads for them all, but I wanted to test the extremes on my setup.
BTW, I thought there was supposed to be an in-app PayPal option? I had to add funds through my phone instead, but it was nice to see the dload process start about ten seconds later on the PS4 after the game purchase from my phone.
Mass dloading wasn't going so well because hours later, I still hadn't finished a major title. Sony needs to have it prioritize better. I looked to pause some dloads to prioritize myself, but there is no option to do that. So I cancelled everything except Killzone and NBA 2K14, and that's where I stand now, waiting for them both.
Killzone is at 4500 MB dloaded (>50%) and it says I can install it. When I try, it stays on the Install screen forever. Can I exit out of that and do other stuff while it installs? My PS4 doesn't say. Am I resetting the install process every time I stop it and try again? My PS4 doesn't say. There isn't even an courtesy progress bar explaining how long I need to wait. In between getting knocked off for server maintenance, this issue has been the biggest frustration so far.
What's neat though is that remote play on my Vita allowed me to monitor dload progress and mess around on the UI easily while I was watching my Lakers. Lag was almost imperceptible. Hopefully I can get some gaming in tonight. PlayGo is PlaySlo for me at this point even though some of it was my fault (it is dloading a lot faster now). Maybe once the server issues get under control, grabbing games from the store and playing them will be more fluid.
Overall, the system needs to be more informative about what is and isn't going on as you mess around with stuff. It looks really, really good though, and we all know that Sony will be tweaking in a ton of improvements over the years.
Los Angeles Lakers - 16 NBA Championships!
I turned mine on, and tried to log into my account, but at first it couldn't seem to connect. I still didn't have any games at that time, because the Target by me had been cleared out of PS4 games. So, turned off the PS4 and drove to a Target that had the 3 games I wanted to get. (Killzone, NBA 2K14 and BF4). Finally got back home with those games, and started off with Killzone. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it allowed me to get into the game. I thought it would take like 5 minutes or so before I would be able to play, but it seemed quite a bit faster than that. The graphics are pretty good, but the story does seem a bit cheesy. Only about 45 minutes into the game though, so hard to really have too much of an opinion on it other than the initial graphical display.
It's funny how every time we get to a new generation, it seems like what developers can do with water really becomes a point of emphasis. Killzone starts of with rain, and the water effects are pretty cool, in terms of the wet pavement, and how the water reacts to the clothes of people and stuff like that. I also think I saw a few puddles, somewhat similar to the puddles I saw in the Second Son trailers. There is something about the wet pavement that is really cool. Also, when you get out into the forest area, the river that is running through that area is pretty cool as well.
Who knows if the game is actually going to be half way decent, but at least the graphics seem Purdy.
The next game I put in was NBA 2K14
That was my first expression upon seeing the opening cinema . Visual Concepts just knows what the F they are doing. The production values in this game are off the charts. Very impressed.
The graphics are pretty spectacular. I was a bit disappointed by the IGN videos, that seemed somewhat underwhelming, but seeing it live, in person, on a decent sized plasma (50 incher), I was taken aback by what I was witnessing. Full disclosure, I haven't played a NBA 2K game in about 3 years, so I have no idea how much of the presentation is exactly the same on PS3 or 360, but just in dramatically higher resolution and detail.
Some of the player models are truly amazing. Kobe Bryant is possibly the best player model in the game. At least the best I've seen so far. During certain close-ups, it looks almost uncanny how much his player model resembles the real McCoy.
Bottom line, NBA 2K14 is the killer app. I feel so bad for people that just have zero interest in sports games, because they are missing one hell of a launch day triumph.
Los Angeles Lakers - 16 NBA Championships!
Unfortunately. I kind of agree. It just seems like one big jumbled mess. Took me a bit to figure out what the hell was going in. It's smooth as butter, but there is definite room for improvement.
PSN ID: ahartig
^^^ Heh, I'm jealous since I still haven't been able to play my two main titles. But I did learn something about these digital files... you dload two of them initially, a small one and a larger one. The larger one must be completely downloaded (5 GB - 10 GB in size) so you can start the first file for an install. After that you can play while the rest of the game dloads in the background. Unfortunately I had to find this info on the 'net since the PS4 doesn't tell me why I was unable to begin playing.
I'm guessing the small file is a patch. That's why you can't install the game when that message pops up - because the game is far from downloaded, and the patch is useless without the game.
I can confirm that it doesn't play 3D blu-rays...not that anyone doubted that at this point. It will let you play a 3D disc in 2D if the disc has that option (ex. How to Train Your Dragon had a 2D option, whereas Amazing Spider-Man did not). DTS-MA and Dolby HD work in 2D. I also tried the Amazon app and the video seemed worse than on PS3; I will have to compare more later.
Amazon was pretty bad already.
Still not sure if I am going to open CoD or swap it for Killzone just yet. I want to see more impressions on it first.

Now they need to add this tech to FPS sniping like the Vita's Uncharted GA.
Los Angeles Lakers - 16 NBA Championships!
they need to hurry up and add mp3/cd/3d support soon im loving this new console but it really feels like a newborn compared to the ps3. and one thing bothered me is when i popped in a bluray movie. it doesnt tell you the name of the movie thats currently in, the ps3 already does that. cmon sony. and one more thing. release a bd remote and compatible bt headsets. the mic that came with the system sucks and its nice to have a remote controller for movies. i played some BF4 and COD:G and im trying to get used to the new trigger button. i kept throwing grenades when i meant to shoot the enemy. for some reason, the PS store doesnt have the "download list" section. if you want to view your old downloads or redownload something, you have to use a PC and queue things so that the PS4 can download them in standby mode. overall, its a great console. yes it wobbles like ign.com said. but im happy. enjoy.
You're looking for your "library" - its either all the way to the right of the long ass line of stuff you've launched, or its at the bottom of the list in the store itself.
Again, because that's the most obvious place to put that.
for example. when i was looking for the free map that came with COD:Ghost. free fall i think its called to redownload it. i looked everywhere, even in library and inside the store. it wasnt there. when i logged in my sony account on my PC and looked inside the Download List section. it was there so no, library is NOT the answer.
On another note regarding Remote play. I cant do it if I have my Astro's plugged in to the USB. Reason is when it turns on the system the system is asking who is going to use the headset. The Vita I guess times out and it wont let remote play work. If I turn on using my controller that question does not pop up so I dont know why its popping up this way. This could be any headset thats using the USB for a headset, but I am not positive on that. I will try with my Skullcandys to find out. Just need to remember to leave the Astros unplugged I guess.

Ha, you're right now that I think of it, I didn't see freefall anywhere on my PS4.
Sweet baby Jesus this UI is just the worst. Maybe this is what those rumors of the PS4 OS being a mess was all about. It's so half baked.
Here's a few more headscratchers - hit the PS button to go to the menu while in game, when you want to get back, your running game is on the left side. But instead of choosing an obvious way to demonstrate the game is running (like showing the actual game in a giant window like the X1, it just shows the same thing as every other game, except there's another dreaded swirly. And they didn't even have the common sense to label it "resume" instead of start.
It might sound like I'm nitpicking, but this is seriously basic stuff. So much of it is just common sense, that's why it's so frustrating m. It's almost like they willfully ignored every issue with the XMB, created some new ones and didn't even test it on normal people before letting it out there. Aside from the ability to swap between an active game and the full UI, it's basically a downgrade in every way from the already mediocre XMB.
Sony should be ashamed of themselves. They got the hardware and controller so right, how could they bungle it on the UI so badly.
What issues with the XMB?
For me, the XMB is perfect.
In case any wanted to know or didn't know, here are what the indicator lights mean:
Excellent information! Thanks
i have the ps4 connected to the tv via HDMi and an optical from the tv to a receiver. This same setup works perfectly fine on my ps3 and the tv and receiver picks up Dolby digital. But with the ps4, it doesn't detect any codec. I have to change the ps4 audio settings to optical for it to pick up a codec in the receiver.

Ugh, bust one back in the 'Lac stabbing
She knows what's happening, there's no reason to doubt it
If you ask her how I got it she say "How he had went about it was"
And then you wake up from a bad dream
A nightmare, settle down cause she right there
[Verse 2: T.I.]
Ok midnight, fit like four or five chicks
In the drop 66 bumpin' Southernplayalistic
Yeah we riding through the city like Monday Magic City Nights
Pass dees around momentarily they feeling like
Getting right, good girls got them getting busy like
Big dykes, eating so much pussy they forget pipe
All got boyfriends, tell me they don't hit it right
They come see me so they can come be freaks
In the backseat, everything fast like a track meet
All I can see are titties, pussy lips and ass cheeks
Actually, no exaggeration no imagining
Real talk, my reality is your fantasy
Keisha, Kim, Tameka, Shay, Alisha and Gloria
Chasing this broad tryna find euphoria
Name notorious, dick game glorious
Find me shorty when your boyfriend boring ya
[Hook : Big Boi & (Khujo)]
Shake it like some Texas Pete dropping on your collard greens
Make it hotter and she want a dollar do you follow me?
Shake it like a tambourine, shake it like a tambourine
Shake it like a tambourine, shake it like a tambourine
(Smelling like some tangerines, rolling like she on some beans)
(Garter belt full of green, booty busting out the seams)
(Shake it like a tambourine, she shake it like a tambourine)
(Shake it like a tambourine, about to shake it like a tambourine)
[Verse 3: Big Boi]
Once upon a rhyme I knew this girl and she was fine
As everything outdoors, the kinda girl I describe her
Like Michael Jordan when he's froze in a pose
Of a jumpman, top flight security on these hoes, man
She drop it low only for me to pick her up
When she's liquored up I'm leaving my fingerprints on her butt
Ten-hut at attention as we stand for this woman
General Patton, boy stop we think she's coming
Loving the way that I'm licking her down boy you bluffing
Nothing, while a nigga like me be straight up royal flushing
But this ain't about playing no cards, dummy
Her get me open my sugar and she go hard for me
Even take a charge for me if the coppers caught us riding
To get a tray of fruit and a pack of 1.5's and
I'm all the way on them papers, she all the way on my team
We burn it down like California trees in the breeze

It's 9.30am on a damp grey Sunday morning on Redchurch Street in the East End and a gaggle of Japanese tourists wearing Comme des Garçons quilted coats is framed against a wall of the city's finest graffiti. They are burrowing into their guidebooks, as a homeless man slumps on the pavement opposite and a group of hoodies outside The Owl & Pussycat pub is loudly discussing their clubbing antics of the night before. From behind metal garage doors thumping hip-hop echoes. The Japanese tourists look puzzled but set off determinedly all the same.
With its neighbourhood nail parlours and minicab firms sitting cheek by jowl with tiny galleries and newly opened boutiques, this shabby street certainly doesn't look like the new Bond Street - but it's being hailed as just that: scouts from Prada, Ralph Lauren, Christian Louboutin and Paul Smith have all been sizing up the tatty Georgian façades in search of new locations. Since Shoreditch House opened around the corner three years ago, quickly followed by Sir Terence Conran's Boundary, which includes a hotel, restaurant, café and what has to be the East End's chicest little deli, all of which do brisk trade every day of the week, the tide has definitely started to turn.
Hip French label APC set up shop, while Sunspel brought its pristine Prince of Wales- approved cotton boxers and T-shirts to the East End with a store on the corner of Boundary Street. Margaret Howell opened her first MHL flagship just around the corner on Old Nichol Street late last year, and directional boutiques such as the menswear specialist Hostem and 11 Boundary began to pop up, too. Further down the street, Aubin & Wills (an unlikely addition to the street given the small independents that dominate) has taken over a big, if rather grim-looking, post-war button factory. There are whispers of Ian Schrager sizing up the nearby Crowne Plaza, and an out-post of Nobu is also due to open, which will hope to cash in on the new tourist trade in the area, the wealth of the City less than a mile away and the affluent creatives who were among the early settlers in the area.
On this grim morning it doesn't feel like the fashion revolution has quite started, but ask any local and they will tell you that the area has already undergone a radical transformation. Few locals have done as much to kick-start this area's renaissance as Les Trois Garçons - the ménage à trois who bought a Victorian pub on the corner of Club Row and Redchurch Street in 1996 and transformed it into one of the capital's most eccentric and talked-about restaurants.
'It was like the wild frontier then,' laughs one of the trio, Hassan Abdullah, perched on a
delicate French sofa in the front of his chandelier-strewn boutique, Maison Trois Garçons, an eclectic antiques and fashion store that, along with the restaurant and popular bar LoungeLover, makes up their East End empire. 'Our friends, girls especially, were scared to come here. They used to say, "You have to come and get us from the cab!"' Before the three relocated from Notting Hill, they hadn't even been to Shoreditch, but they wanted to buy a large building and, after visiting a friend's graduation show nearby, they discovered that the Victorian pub was for sale. The scale of the property won out over the lack of local services and community.
Now, says Abdullah, they and their Goyard-wearing Dalmatian rarely leave. He doesn't find the area's transformation so surprising. 'People forget the proximity to the City here. We are right next to all of the City's wealth. When Boundary and Shoreditch House opened, we started to think that things would really change - if they were moving here then there must be something in it.'
Shoreditch might be cheek by jowl with the shiny towers of the City but historically this was one of London's poorest areas, a renowned slum since the 18th century. It was chronicled by Arthur Morrison in A Child of the Jago in 1896, which followed the hopeless existence of a boy growing up amid the violence, disease and squalor. The city's poorest inhabitants shared these narrow streets with cabinetmakers: in
1890, when 15 acres of slum clearance was carried out, there were 120 cabinetmakers, 74 chairmakers and 24 woodcutters crammed into the tiny grid of streets.
Now, among the City workers, media types and creatives, you are more likely to find fashion designers: most of London's hottest young names, from Christopher Kane to Richard Nicoll, work and live in the East End. Erdem Moralioglu moved into his current studio on Bethnal Green Road, overlooking the shabby rooftops of Redchurch Street, just before Shoreditch House opened its doors. 'It went from nothing to a members' club, an Italian deli, English bistro food, hotel and boutiques just as we moved here,' says the Canadian-born designer who has now lived (in London Fields) and worked in the East End for a decade.
Everyone here likens the transformation to New York's Meatpacking District, which has become the blueprint for fashion takeovers of formerly hostile industrial areas. Erdem adds: 'Time will tell how far it will change. So many things are moving East and that's exciting. I guess it's indicative of how London as a city is spreading out. Whether that is a good or a bad thing depends on who you are.'
For many people around here the sudden interest in Shoreditch, and the predictable dizzying rises in rents and rates that have followed, are anything but good news. It makes sense for young designers to base themselves in the inspiring and gritty East, and many locals view the labels that have so far opened here a good thing - especially when there is a clear synergy, such as Aubin & Wills' bijou cinema and art gallery curated by Stuart Semple - but long gone are the days when Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas set up shop on Redchurch Street. Although Emin, along with Rachel Whiteread, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, still lives in Shoreditch, younger artists have been forced out of the area. Abdullah has already seen many artists, who originally made the area desirable, move out to Hackney or even further afield. 'My worry is that it will become another high street. I would prefer something more organic: to maintain the momentum but stop things like Pret coming in. That's not what this street is about.' He is convinced that the area is not yet ready for the global brands such as Prada and Ralph Lauren and lays all the hype firmly at the door of 'greedy, overzealous estate agents'. Happily for him, so far none of these brands has actually committed to opening a space.
Debra Winstanley, who opened the womenswear boutique 11 Boundary two years ago, has always lived in the area. Her grandfather worked in the Tea Building when it was a tea warehouse (it's now home to Shoreditch House and office space housing the advertising company Mother and the fashion PR company Karla Otto, as well as Pizza East on the ground floor). 'Brands that have always been in the West End now feel they have to have a presence here,' says Winstanley, who admits she wouldn't have walked down this street a few years back. 'I guess, like in New York, it's more cool to be downtown than uptown. It's about the mix of people - the culture around here doesn't exist in areas like Westbourne Grove any more. It used to. There is a danger that it could change too much, but there's always a danger when areas are developed. At the end of the day, landlords just want to make their money.'
For some long-term residents the wrong kind of development will simply push out the very elements that made the area cool to begin with. 'We have invested a lot in making this area what it is,' adds Abdullah. 'The minute it becomes like the West End I will leave.' Not that he has a destination in mind yet. Although it's hard to imagine a Goyard-wearing Dalmatian and his three flamboyant owners taking their chandeliers and taxidermy to Peckham Rye. ESReuse content

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ---- UAB's Director of Athletics Brian Mackin introduced new football head coach Garrick McGee in front of a standing room only crowd in the Green and Gold room inside Bartow Arena on Monday.
McGee becomes the fourth head coach in Blazer football history after spending the past two seasons as offensive coordinator at the University of Arkansas under Bobby Petrino.
Director of Athletics Brian Mackin
Opening Statement
"We started this process a week ago to find a new coach. Our plan was to conduct a national search and to move forward as quickly as possible from a recruiting standpoint and to put a face on the program.
We want a successful program here at UAB. The committee was looking for a coach that would bring a new level of energy and passion to the job. We wanted someone to go out and sell the program to the community and state. It was important to find a coach that placed emphasis on academics and discipline. We have found that coach. Garrick McGee brings all those qualities to UAB. We can't wait for him to lead this football program.
He has a very impressive resume. He has been a coach both on the college and NFL level. Most recently, he served as the offensive coordinator at Arkansas. In his first year the Razorbacks made their first BCS appearance in program history. The last two seasons they have been at the top of the SEC and NCAA rankings in several offensive categories. He is one of the five finalists for the Broyles Award that is given to the top assistant coach in the nation. That is an extremely high honor for our new coach.
Before he joined the staff at Arkansas, he served on staff with several other colleges, including Northwestern, Toledo, UNLV and Northern Iowa. He also spent two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
He has experienced success at every level in his career. We are truly thrilled that he and his wife Tiffany will call Birmingham their home."
UAB Head Coach Garrick McGee
Opening Statement
"Thank you so much. I've been waiting for a long time for an athletic director to announce my name as a new head football coach. I'm truly honored to head a football program at an academic institution. It's my mission as a football coach to use the sport to train and develop young men to be better people and to make the proper decisions in life. It's a true honor to be associated with this program.
I want to thank [UAB president] Dr. [Carol] Garrison and Brian Mackin for this opportunity. We had a really good interview process. I thank Shannon Ealy [Senior Associate Athletics Director] and Richard Margison [Vice President of Financial Affairs] and everyone involved for the tough questions and I appreciate how demanding you were and the vision you have for this program. There are certain academic standards that are in place here that I want to embrace.
What I learned at Northwestern from the late Randy Walker about an academic institution is this – if you decide to embrace what that is all about and that culture then that's an advantage for you. You will be able to recruit young men with the character and 'the want'. It's important to those kids to get their college degree. That's the way to win on the football field – you recruit the right personnel and the right kids. I want to embrace the culture here. It's going to give me the ability to go into the home of a parent and talk about placing their young man into a locker room full of kids with character that understand the importance of education.
I want to thank Bill Carr [CARR Sports Associates] for his guidance and professionalism. I want to thank my wife Tiffany for managing everything outside of my football career and giving me an opportunity to do what I love – coach the game.
I want to have a group of young men heading in the right direction who are committed to doing the right things on and off the field and they understand that winning is the final result of doing everything else right and that's what I love about what we are doing here.
I couldn't stand here and not thank the people at Arkansas. I've been privileged to be a part of a first-class institution. They've provided me with the skills necessary to move into a head-coaching role where I'm confident and capable of running my own program. We've built a family atmosphere and bond. It's what gives us the ability to win games.
About 20 years ago I met a guy named Bob Petrino. At that time in my life my priorities were not in line with the direction I wanted to go. My decision-making was not on par with the family values and structure my dad put in place. But, Petrino took a personal responsibility in my career and development as a person. I was on his staff when I became a husband. I was on his staff when I became a father and I'm leaving his staff to become a head coach. He has given me the platform and put me in position to run my own program with class, dignity and ability to teach these kids how to become champions.
This is a tremendous opportunity for us to put a football program on campus and to get the students, staff, faculty and the city of Birmingham connected with the program. I want this program to be a part of this university and city. We are going to connect this program with the city and sooner than you think produce a winning football team.
I like the look in our team's eyes. They promised me they are committed to doing the right things on a daily basis so that we could bring the Conference USA Championship here to Birmingham.
Another thing that is important is to be able to coach football in a state that values the sport. This state has produced the last two national champions. I think it's a direct reflection of the high school coaches in the state. They've done a great job of developing kids who can produce on and off the field at a high level. I can't wait to be a part of this state and the football that goes on.
I want everyone here to understand that this is your program. What we have to do every day is to do everything we possibly can to make this a successful football program.
You have to play your role so we can get a championship football program on the field rolling as soon as possible.
I'm really excited, I'm committed and I want you to know that our players made that commitment to develop day-by-day starting today. At some point next fall we are going to run a football team out on the field that understands how to compete, to build small wins one step at a time and ultimately when the clocks runs out we have more points than the other team has.
UAB Head Coach Garrick McGee
Questions and Answers
On whether or not he will be with Arkansas this season during its bowl game
"I'm going to go back to Arkansas for the next two days, but on Wednesday I will report back here and we will get started building our program here at UAB."
On what stood out for him about UAB
"It was the people. You can build nice buildings, and all of that is important, but the people inside the buildings are what makes it run. I had a chance to talk to Brian Mackin, Shannon Ealy and Richard Margison. I talked to President Garrison and she did a really good job of explaining to me her vision for this university and her standards for this university. She explained what she expected from a football coach and she also explained her commitment to the kids in making sure that they left this university as better people. At that point I realized that my vision for these kids and her vision were the same. That's what really made this place attractive to me."
On whether or not he has started thinking about his coaching staff
"I have, and I think it's important to have a plan when you get to this point in your career. I've been preparing for this day for a while. We are going to get some guys in place by the end of this week, and we're going to have some guys who are going to be coaching in bowl games late in the season that will come in after January."
On his offensive and defensive philosophies
"My offensive philosophy is to put as much pressure on the defense as we possibly can. We're going to be attacking and playing with different personnel groups. We will have different formations to run our base-core plays. We are going to get our quarterback to execute at an extremely high level. This will be a quarterback driven offense, and he will be responsible for the leadership on the field when I'm not around. I expect him to produce and perform at an extremely high level. We will be explosive and we will expect to light it up every time we go out.
"On defense, our philosophy will involve attacking and we will have an aggressive style of defense. When you have spent your career coaching quarterbacks, you understand what it's like to have the defense come after you and push your quarterback off of his set points. The defense keeps the quarterback guessing and makes him see one thing but then gives him something else. We are going to play an aggressive style of defense, and we won't just stand back and take what the offense gives us. We are going to go after people."
On the importance of upgrading the facilities at UAB
"Brian, Shannon, my wife, and I went on a tour of our facilities yesterday. When Tiffany and I got back to the hotel, I told her that everything we need to win a Conference USA Championship is in place right now. We have what we need to win. Now after we win and we put a championship team on the field, at that point I will come back and ask for more."
On becoming the first African American head coach at a Division I school in Alabama
"That's the first time I have heard that, so I haven't spent much time thinking about it. Hopefully I am an example for young kids in this state and throughout the country showing that if you continue with your goals and work day-to-day to get to where you want to be in life, you can get there and there are no barriers in America anymore."
On whether or not he has seen film on quarterback Jonathan Perry
"I have heard that name, but I haven't watched much film. I am excited about a lot of things. I watched the Conference USA Championship, and in the back of my mind I was thinking about how I watched UAB beat Southern Miss on that Thursday night. I am excited about the personnel we have and the commitment I saw. What we have to do as a team is understand that it's going to be a process and a grind. We have to be committed to that and understand that winning is the final result of doing everything else right."
On whether or not Mike Anderson had any advice concerning UAB
"The first day he walked in the door at the University of Arkansas, I was sitting in our compliance director's office. I have had a history with Mike, and we know a lot of the same people in Tulsa, Okla. Mike and I developed a relationship. When this thing came about, I called Mike and asked him to tell me about this city and program. He said that this is the perfect opportunity for me and that I was going to love it. His wife told my wife the same thing. He has been a tremendous help to me, and Mike Anderson is one of the best developers of young men. I'm proud to be friends with Mike Anderson."
On his ability to connect with players
"I think that the first thing that is important when you develop relationships is that you set the ground rules immediately. You set the standards high and expect them to produce and perform as a student-athlete at an extremely high level on a daily basis. I talk to players about their goals and where they believe they are headed. Then I ask them if they are willing to put in the work to accomplish those goals. Once they tell me yes that they are committed to the goals, now I can hold them to those goals. That's what gives me the ability to fuss at a player and get on him because of the mistakes that he makes. He still understands that he is still my guy, and that I still have a lot of confidence and faith in him. It's about having high standards. I believe that kids today need and want discipline. They want someone that really cares about them to push them. I think that's what this generation is looking for, and its worked for me."
Sophomore WR Jackie Williams
On new head coach Garrick McGee
"There is a lot of excitement, everyone is looking forward to a new season and it seems like he is excited and committed and the players are as well."
On McGee's message to the players earlier this morning
"It was about the same as he discussed during the press conference. We will be building on the little wins first and when the big opportunity comes for the major wins, we want to capitalize on it."
On how important it was that Brian Mackin got a new coach quickly
"It was good that Mr. Mackin and the staff did a great job of trying to find a coach as soon as possible. He told us that he was going to make this process quick and get a new coach in here early as possible and that's good for the team."
On his feelings when they announced that Garrick McGee was the new head coach
"I didn't know too much about him. I knew he was the offensive coordinator at Arkansas just watching their games on TV and I know they are a pretty explosive team."
On what players will have to do to get noticed with a new coach coming in
"You just have to go into it the same way you came into college when no one knew you. You have to go into the huddle and make the plays when they are given to you."
On McGee's philosophy with his receivers
"I know they have great receivers at Arkansas. I know they throw it a lot and he gives his playmakers the chance to make plays."
Sophomore QB Jonathon Perry
On the hiring of Garrick McGee
"Everybody feels confident in the new coach. After meeting with him for about 30 minutes everybody was already feeling what he was bringing to the program."
On the message Coach McGee delivered to the players earlier this morning
"It was a great message. You know he told us what he expected from us and what we could expect from him and that we had to take responsibility and get confident in ourselves so we could win games."
On having a coach that has coached quarterbacks before
"It's a great feeling. I have a friend that plays at Arkansas and he said he was a great coach and all I want to do is progress as a quarterback and a football player, as well as a person. I feel that Athletic Director Brian Mackin has hired a great person to help me do that, as well the other quarterbacks in the program."
On how good it was to be getting a new head coach quickly
"That was the great part about it. Mr. Mackin said we had to trust him to get somebody quick and it was just great that we had the chance to get our head coach before we went on a break."

It is widely accepted that creating and maintaining a safety culture in an organisation can lead to improved safety performance (Wu, Chen & Li, 2007). Recent investigations into construction site safety culture (Biggs et al., 2006, Dingsdag et al., 2006) have provided a means through which the industry could address the issue of improving safety culture. This chapter reports on a project to continue development of the Construction Safety Competency Framework, which identified safety management tasks, safety critical positions and skills, knowledge and behaviours required to create a safety culture. The current project formulated comprehensive implementation guides covering the 39 Safety Management Tasks and the safety critical positions identified in the Competency Framework. Developmental issues, industry liaison processes, and stakeholder ownership issues are discussed as well as future implications for skill acquisition of safety critical tasks and recruitment and professional development concerns. The anticipated outcomes have the potential to enhance current safety skill and behaviour acquisitions in both 1st tier and 2nd tier construction companies.
