2012 NBA Draft: Ranking The Small Forwards
Senior NBA & College Basketball Editor
Follow @Yannis KoutroupisYannis Koutroupis
The 2012 NBA Draft is less than two weeks away. The mass amounts of workouts being done have helped us get a better feel for where guys rank with the other players at their position. In our continuing series of ranking each position, we take a look at the top five small forwards along with the rest of the field. The three spot is one of the deepest in the draft. The top two players are in the running for the second overall selection and as many as nine are garnering first round consideration.
The Top Five
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Kentucky, Fr.) – 6'7, 233 lbs.
It's not very often that we see a player of Kidd-Gilchrist's skill level who competes the way he does at such a young age. Even in high school he was as fiery and engaged as he was at Kentucky while competing for a national championship. He's wired with the same hatred for losing that some of the NBA's all-time greats were.
Not without fault, Kidd-Gilchrist is amongst the worst three-point shooters in the draft regardless of position. It's a major weakness of his, but perhaps the only one as well. Given his work ethic and passion for the game, it's not a stretch to think that he could be a very serviceable shooter down the line.
If he does add a reliable long-range jumper, we're talking about an All-Star. Kidd-Gilchrist will be able to defend multiple positions throughout his career, be a terror to contain in transition and virtually impossible to stay in front of. There's a big argument to be made for him being the second best player in this draft class. He will be instrumental in changing the culture to a winning one wherever he gets drafted.
Harrison Barnes (North Carolina, So.) – 6'8, 228 lbs.
These past two years have been a roller coaster ride for Barnes, but luckily for him it seems like it's going to end on a high note. After a disappointing end to his collegiate career, Barnes is right back in the mix for the second overall pick after the way that he performed at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago.
One of the biggest knocks on him has always been that he's just an average athlete. While the footage at North Carolina did little to change that notion, his 38" standing vertical at the Combine erased it completely.
Typically extremely-athletic players are hesitant to rely on their jump shot. Barnes is the opposite, which is quite rare. Knowing that he has that kind of athletic ability creates a lot of optimism over what he could be down the line. He was never able to fulfill his expectations from college, but he may just end up exceeding them as a pro.
Jeff Taylor (Vanderbilt, Sr.) – 6'7, 213 lbs.
In terms of being NBA ready, Taylor may be second only to Barnes at the small forward position. There's a lot to like about the athletic and versatile senior who steadily improved throughout his career at Vanderbilt.
Taylor can play either position out on the perimeter and most importantly hold his own defensively. He's made serious strides as a shooter from long range; he makes defenses pay when they don't give him the attention he deserves.
Taylor's stock is in the 17-25 range despite the fact that he is ready to help teams now. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. If selected in that range he'll likely end up with a playoff team, where he can play to his strengths and not be asked to do more than he's capable of. If the Boston Celtics keep their two picks one of them will likely be used on Taylor.
Quincy Miller (Baylor, Fr.) – 6'10, 219 lbs.
This has to be a tense moment for the Miller camp because just a couple of months ago he was set to stay at Baylor and projected as a top eight pick in the 2013 draft. Then, surprisingly, he changed his mind prior to the NBA's underclassmen declaration deadline and decided to go pro.
At the beginning of the year Miller got off to an impressive start. He looked like he was fully recovered from the ACL tear that robbed him of his senior year in high school. But as the year wore on he faded and now he's reportedly struggling in workouts as well.
The reviews from Chicago on Miller were not overly positive. He's sliding right now and there's a long way to go down from his previous spot in the lottery. He really has to have some strong showings prior to the 28th, otherwise he could end up really regretting changing his mind.
Still, he will be drafted and there is a lot of promise there. He just has to get his knee right first and be prepared to work his way up from the bottom.
Moe Harkless (St. John's, Fr.) – 6'9, 207 lbs.
Even though he's tired of hearing this, few players in this draft have the kind of potential that Harkless has. Odds are he won't be one of the best players immediately, but a few years down the line he very well could be one of the stars of this draft class.
Harkless played out of position at St. John's this past season. Being used primarily as a power forward put him on the radar and helped the Red Storm a great deal, but it wasn't the best thing for his pro career. Now Harkless is having to endure a crash course on playing small forward, which is undoubtedly where he's best suited at the next level.
Unlike Andre Drummond or Meyers Leonard, the other two players most associated with the term potential, Harkless doesn't appear to be multiple years away. He could end up just needing one season to find his comfort zone as a three. And, when that happens, we could be looking at the Paul George of this class.
Rest of the Field
Evan Fournier (France) – 6'7, 204 lbs.: A skilled swingman with great instincts on the offensive end. Possesses good shooting mechanics. Unproven defensively.
Darius Miller (Kentucky, Sr.) – 6'7, 233 lbs.: Unselfish glue guy who is very familiar with the role he will be playing in the NBA. Capable of providing instant offense and scoring in a variety of ways.
Draymond Green (Michigan State, Sr.) – 6'7, 236 lbs.: As tough and versatile as they come. Doesn't have the prototypical game of a small forward, but will make plays when given the opportunity. A winner.
Jae Crowder (Marquette, Sr.) – 6'6, 241 lbs.: One of the best defenders in the class with an underrated offensive game. Very strong with the ability to defend multiple positions. Has to get re-acclimated to playing on the perimeter again full time.
Kostas Popanikolaou (Greece) – 6'8, 230 lbs.: A dedicated defender who has improved as a spot-up shooter. Likely going to stay overseas for at least another season.
Kris Joseph (Syracuse, Sr.) – 6'7, 215 lbs.: A solid scorer who can keep defenses honest with his three-point shot. Unselfish and capable of getting his points within the system. Transitioning from playing nothing but zone defense.
Hollis Thompson (Georgetown, Jr.) – 6'8, 206 lbs.: As pure of a shooter as this class has to offer. Knows how to play off the ball and set himself up for shots.
Khris Middleton (Texas A&M, Jr.) – 6'8, 216 lbs.: Smooth and effective. Coming off of an injury-riddled season. Does the majority of his work offensively inside the three-point line.
Alex Young (IUPUI, Sr.) – 6'6, 215 lbs.: A threat to score from all over the floor. Also a very good rebounder. Can play shooting guard as well.
Tony Mitchell (Alabama, Jr.) – 6'6, 216 lbs.: Athletic with the ability to really standout defensively. Questions about character somewhat exaggerated. Strong rebounder.
Rakim Sanders (Fairfield, Sr.) – 6'5, 234 lbs.: NBA ready in terms of strength. Can play either wing position. An aggressive rebounder who can knock down open shots.
Wesley Witherspoon (Memphis, Sr.) – 6'9, 212 lbs.: A big small forward who can step out and hit the occasional three. Has a nice all-around game. Still on the thin side.

Monday, Dec 91:21 PMCarney bullish on U.K. and global growth
- "For the first time in a long time it seems reasonable to expect the hopes and dreams of the holiday season to be fulfilled," says Bank of England Governor Mark Carney in a NY speech. "The Ghost of Christmas Present is a cheerful spirit. As uncertainty diminishes, credit conditions improve and balance sheet repair progresses, monetary policy is gaining traction."
- Not buying the "secular stagnation" thesis of many, Carney says there's little reason to believe developed economies can't recover to past growth rates.
- The pound continues to head higher, now up a whopping 16 handles since Carney took the BOE reins in July and has been unexpectedly hawkish since.
- Cable is buying $1.6406 at the moment. Above $1.70 would take it back to summer-2008 levels.

- Cable wobbles just a bit after BOE minutes reveal members' concern about the sustainability of a strong economic recovery in the U.K.
- "Overall, the balance of risks was judged to be on the downside ... there were uncertainties over the durability of the recovery."

Wednesday, Nov 1312:40 PMFTSE tumbles as tighter monetary policy indicated
- The U.K. is the outlier in Europe, the FTSE 100 sliding 1.5% after the BOE upgrades its employment outlook, suggesting a rate hike maybe as soon as 2015. A broad European gauge, the Stoxx 50 (FEZ) fell just 0.5%.
- The pound (FXB) is ahead by 0.8% to $1.6026, and getting near the point where the U.K. economy has screamed "uncle" several times over the past 4 years. Was it just 4 months ago when sterling could have been purchased for $1.48 as traders expected Mark Carney to initiate a new easing campaign after taking the reins at the Bank of England? Those expecting Janet Yellen to out-dove Ben Bernanke might well pay heed.

Wednesday, Nov 134:59 AMU.K. unemployment rate falls to 7.6%
- The U.K. unemployment rate falls to 7.6% in the three months to September, data shows. That's the lowest rate since 2009 and is largely in-line with economists' expectations.

- U.K. services PMI jumped to its highest level in 16 years in October, rising to 62.5 from 60.3 in September.
- The data adds to strong manufacturing and construction surveys, helping to send the all-sector PMI - a measurement of business activity across the U.K. private sector - to an all-time high of 61.5 vs 60.2 a month earlier.
- In the services sector, backlogs of work and employment increased markedly, although cost inflation accelerated due to higher utility and wage bills.
- The latest PMI data is consistent with quarterly GDP growth of 1.3% and private-sector job creation of over 100,000 positions.
- The pound takes a jump and is +0.4% to $1.6036, although the FTSE, which was already lower, falls further and is -0.65%. (PR)

- "The latest construction PMI survey signals that job hiring and input buying are now rising in tandem with greater new business inflows," says Markit's Tim Moore.
- The FTSE 100 is +0.4%, while the pound is flat at $1.5958. (PR)

Another addition to a great toy
By Early Christmas Shopping

I bought this as a christmas present for my 4.5yr old daughter that asked for a Hello Kitty dollhouse that she could play with. She absolutely loves Hello Kitty so when I saw this playground along with the Beach house, I just knew that I had to buy this too. She loves playing and using her imagination so this is perfect.

False Representation
By Suzy the disappointed aunt
from Houston, Texas
I ordered the Hello Kitty Adorable Playground pictured on the web site, which indeed looked adorable and different than the basic building block set. I received something completely different which was a typical building block set with only a couple of Hello Kitty figurines and a swing set to differentiate it. I was extremely disappointed. I returned to my local store the day after receiving it.
its okay
By ANN
from Souderton, PA
bought for a 7 year old, not good for little ones since there are many tiny pieces. IT was good since she loves building blocks and hello kitty. only prob is the blocks dont stay together as well as legos.
Lots of Fun
By Happy grandma
from Rochester, NY
I bought this as an Happy First Day of school present for my 6 year old granddaughter. She loved it. We had great fun putting it together and "being" the characters that were included. I was concerned that some of the pieces were too small for her to work with and she did have some dificulty but the fun outweighed the challages

Tamara Shapiro Ledley
Dr. Tamara Shapiro Ledley, a senior scientist and chair of the Center for Science Teaching and Learning at TERC, received her PhD from MIT in 1983. Between 1983 and 1997 he led a research program in Earth system science with an emphasis on the polar regions at Rice University. While at Rice she began her work on Earth science education and joined TERC in 1997 to pursue those interests. She is now very involved in climate literacy efforts. She is leading the development the Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN) Collection of rigorously reviewed climate and energy educational resources and chairing the CLEAN Network, a professionally diverse community of climate and energy literacy stakeholders http://cleanet.org. She also leads the EarthLabs project http://serc.carleton.edu/earthlabs that focuses on development of curriculum materials, teacher professional development programs, and science education research focused enabling the effective teaching and learning of climate science.

The focus of Dr. Ledley's research at Rice University was to understand the role of sea ice and continental ice sheets in shaping global climate. Using energy balance climate and dynamic ice flow models she examined the impact of sea ice on the exchange of energy between the ocean and the atmosphere, the implications of changes in the sea ice cover for local and global climate, and the mechanisms that produced the growth and decay of ice sheets that define the 100,000 year ice age cycle
Dr. Ledley's early work in Earth system science education included developing museum exhibits that bring near real time images of the Earth to the public, contributing science content to planetarium shows, directing teacher training programs in the Earth sciences, developing Earth system science learning activities for the GLOBE program and serving as lead author of the Earth as a System investigation in the GLOBE Teachers Guide, and developing scientific research programs for the participation of students.
Dr. Ledley is a founding member and chair of the CLEAN Network (formerly Climate Literacy Network (http://www.cleanet.org/cln). This work has led to a number of projects. The first is an NSF National Science Digital Library (NSDL, http://www.nsdl.org) and Climate Change Education grant to develop the "Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN) Pathway" (http://cleanet.org), a stewarded collection of inquiry-based educational resources that will help learners understand the Essential Principles of Climate Science (http://cleanet.org/cln/climateliteracy.html). This work has received continuing funding for CLEAN Core services from NOAA. The second is an NSF DRK12 and Climate Change Education grant, "Confronting the Challenges of Climate Literacy" project to develop a set of three EarthLabs modules (http://serc.carleton.edu/earthlabs) on climate change that will serve as a the laboratory component of a high-school capstone course in Earth and space science; and conduct a study, using those modules of the obstacles to student understanding of change over time and how to overcome those them. Others include the NASA Global Climate Change Education Program funded "Earth System Science: A Key to Climate Literacy" project, and the NSF funded project "Facilitating a Deeper Student Understanding of Change in the Earth System on Multiple Time Scales" project.
Dr. Ledley has also been involved in a spectrum of projects that focus on the facilitation of the use of Earth science data in educational contexts and leverage the national digital library efforts. She received NSF NSDL grants to develop the Earth Exploration Toolbook (EET, http://serc.carleton.edu/eet), an online resource that provides step-by-step instructions for the use of an Earth science dataset and data analysis tool by teachers in the classroom; and to run innovative professional development workshops focused on specific datasets and analysis tools in the EET (http://serc.carleton.edu/eet/workshops.html). She also received NSF grants to lead the Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) Data Services and AccessData (http://serc.carleton.edu/usingdata/accessdata) projects that focused on bridging the communication gap scientific and educational communities to make more Earth science datasets accessible and available to teachers and students; and the Tools for Data Analysis in the Middle School Classroom (DataTools, http://serc.carleton.edu/eet/msdatatools) project that facilitates middle school teachers learning and adapting IT tools and Earth science data for use in the classroom.
Dr. Ledley was a member of the National Research Council Roundtable on Climate Change Education. She has served as chair of the Standing Committee for Education, and as Vice-President for the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP Federation, http://www.esipfed.org/), and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation of Earth Science for the ESIP Federation. She is also a member of the External Advisory Board for the Byrd Polar Research Center at the Ohio State University. In her role as chair of the CLEAN Network she has coordinated multiple interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary sessions for the AGU and GSA annual meetings. She has also served as the chair of the Committee on Global and Environmental Change of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and chair of the panel to develop the original AGU position statement on Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases in 1998; and as chair of the panel for GSA to develop a position statement titled Promoting Earth Science Literacy for Public Decision Making in 2012.

Training is pretty normal. Nothing phenomenal. Heavy compounds plus higher rep iso work. Usually will walk for 20 mins after lifting.
I'll start logging the work from now.
Starting stats are 200lbs
Looking to lose. Might upload pics if I feel good about the bodycomp. I feel too fat to post um now though lol.

I sort of just a few short hours you -- -- the voters are gonna head to the polls and all of you haven't made up your mind let me help you out compare.
How things are today as opposed to four years ago when the anointed one took office the average price of a gallon -- gasoline was only a dollar 84 today it's almost doubled.
It's three dollars and 47 cents that's an eighty.
8% change by the way if you live in new York New Jersey -- Long Island -- also have to wait 3456.
Hours to get that fuel.
Now fuels not the only thing that has skyrocketed American families are paying more for groceries -- while the cost has increased five to 8%.
-- five point 8% the national unemployment rate is also higher than when the president took office.
Fewer Americans are working then when he started four years ago.
-- promised Obama promised by this time the unemployment rate would be five point 2% but to no one's surprise he's failed to do that.
But that's at all when Obama took office back in 2009 there -- 32 million Americans on food stamps.
Well fast forward four years a staggering 47.
Million Americans are on food stamps and this is not the change that Americans were promised -- The simple truth is Americans cannot afford another four years on top of all of this we have six trillion dollars in debt 25 million on an underemployed one in six Americans on food stamps.
Joining us now the author of the New York Times best seller month.
In Coulter you realize for every job that Obama created and remember fewer Americans are working.
More Americans went on food stamps houses even know.
It's a disaster I I travel to America a lot in facts and realize the America that amount to -- get back on the and I'm -- just this year -- -- spends time in and seven of the ten swing states which is part of the reason I'm so confident -- I will be back Wednesday night for the victory party.
On -- what are really suffering out there I mean people are unemployed or underemployed 23 million unemployed.
-- and most of all every one sees.
Obama care come on down the track and that is really I mean that's the end of Americans that if we don't overturn not in the next few years the -- -- -- -- it faces the opportunity if you don't overdo it kind of a pathetic Western European country without the charming cobblestone streets.
And most of all without America out there to protect us we'll have I mean according to Obama's treasury his own actions and Treasury Secretary tax cheat Tim Geithner.
2009 report said that our entitlement programs Medicare Medicaid Social Security plus interest on the national debt to pay for those programs.
Within ten years -- consume 92% of the federal budget.
-- eight seconds left over of every federal dollar to pay for the entire military for national parks for food safety inspections.
The environments are already broken only.
Romney at Ryan have a plan to fix it by the way not touching it for anyone 55 years old or older look at look at let me ask about the close of the campaign -- because she you get two very different oh yes we've got a very negative President Obama talking about revenge and you know.
-- go -- out there get out well for friendship.
I'm looking at that revenge for who'll -- and then you have governor -- -- -- for the good of the country yes yes I I really love how corny.
Romney has and how patriotic and they keep making fun of him for this in the -- with an incredibly strong but has no I mean then an FM and on fox media they don't think he's hit an awful we've tried hip.
We've had really hit for the last four years and the country is suffering.
And I just I just.
Romney Ryan is such an amazing ticket to have to articulate Republicans.
We just -- this in the green and I think -- probably out of -- number who Calvin Coolidge as vice president wasn't whether he was articulate and attractive but you probably have to go back to him to have to Republicans.
Who are this on fattening I mean I don't you sought I'm sure you -- I don't have the -- -- today.
That the first elected.
Black governor in the United States doesn't -- wilder the first.
Black and governor was Republican of course but Doug -- was first elected one the other one inherited he was lieutenant governor.
He basically came out and endorsed Romney and he was very polite he talked about traveling around Virginia.
And talking to people he very clearly was not endorsing.
Donald about what he said -- I talk to people they thought they were voting for moderate they thought it was something new hope and change -- a lot.
Yeah that's -- -- didn't believe you and me that's at all he's got -- govern as a moderate I can name names photos don't wild are coming out of the columns saying he has governed as a very left wing president people are really suffering and I talked to people who voted for him last time.
And we're very proud to have -- -- is the president and they're not voting form that's.
They should in this clip is now.
There's a lot was made over the hurricane the impact that -- -- the momentum of governor Romney or -- in this report by our -- David Lee Miller of the public housing unit in New Jersey.
And I'm sorry Brooklyn devastated.
This is Obama's Katrina.

Springfield Armory has created the smallest, most concealable 1911 available: The Enhanced Micro Pistol - EMP. Importantly, you can't reduce the outer dimensions of a pistol without going after the inner workings, too. All together we had to re-engineer 15 different parts. What we got in the end was not just a new gun, but a new class of gun - the short-action 1911. Now that the hard part is out of the way, other gunmakers will surely copy it. But when you see their copies that look almost like a Springfield EMP, you'll say to yourself, "Hey, that looks almost like a Springfield EMP." It's great to be first .

Ever made a blunder while moving your files/movies/music/porn so bad, that you could face-palm your head clean off your neck?
For example, after unwrapping and plugging in a new external hard drive, I started moving a few files onto it.
Not satisfied, I cleaned up the new folders only to discover that I've permanently deleted my vast collection of Angry Video Game Nerd and BBC Series episodes.
Share some horror stories guys.

use Lucinda's band, so we had to learn seven or eight Elvis Costello songs, which was a bit of a tall order. He's a completely different songwriter than Lucinda, his chord structures were challenging. But we went to New York and had rehearsals with Elvis at S.I.R. Studios down in the
City somewhere, and he was great. A consum-mate professional, and also a real relaxed andfriendly guy, he said, "yeah, let's just play, man,"and we did and he said, "sounds great,"—veryeasy to work with, a real pleasure. Working withhim really affected me.
If you could go back and relive one experience, one thing that you've done where you can look back 20 years from now and think, wow that was a great show … what would be that magic show be? That's a good question. One thing that comes to mind is the day I spent with Bob Dylan, playing music with him and his band. I carry that very close to my heart, and think about it a lot. The impact of that was large. It was very educational. And, lately I've been thinking about a night I played with Bo Diddley and his band, and that was a full dose. I've been thinking about him a lot lately.
What advice do you have for Premier Guitar readers? Well, I think I'd have to say, serve the song. That's one of my big deals I try and live by. I think we're all blessed to have music in this life. It's really a magnificent thing, a very powerful and healing thing, so if it's one thing I have to say is serve the song. If you give yourself up to it, then good things will come.

FORT CARSON, COLO. (AP) -- The father of a Fort Carson soldier charged with fatally shooting a jailed Taliban member in Afghanistan says his son has been transferred to a mental health facility.
Brett Lawrence says his son, Pfc. David Lawrence, was admitted to a facility in Colorado on Thursday.
The father says he doesn't know its name or location. Fort Carson officials say they can't comment because of privacy rules.
Twenty-year-old David Lawrence, of Lawrenceburg, Ind., is charged with premeditated murder in the Oct. 17 shooting death of the Taliban member in a cell at a U.S. outpost in southern Afghanistan.
Lawrence's attorney says the soldier was taking an antidepressant at the time, and since then has been taking another drug for schizophrenia.

Yes, Boba Fett appears in "The Trigon One: A Race to the Finish." Episode 4 of 15.
Here, we have a small AVI video of the episode, care of LucasFan.com: http://www.bobafettfanclub.com/multimed … n-fett.avi
Back in July 2004, we reported that more were coming to DVD -- http://www.bobafettfanclub.com/archives/000051.php -- and it came out that November. When the VHS was originally released, it didn't include episode 4.

On the DVD
On the DVD
This month's DVD features two great distributions, Fedora 19 Security Spin and Kali Linux.
On the DVD
Fedora 19 Security Spin, 64-bit
The Fedora 19 Security Spin [1] is meant to provide "a safe test environment to work on security auditing, forensics, system rescue, and teaching security testing methodologies." The Security Spin uses the lightweight LXDE desktop with a customized menu containing all the tools you'll need to perform security testing or to rescue compromised systems. Run from a Live disc or from a USB stick, Fedora's Security Lab sets up a safe environment for your tests.
Kali Linux 1.0.4, 64-bit
BackTrack Linux has been reborn as Kali Linux, "The most advanced penetration testing distribution, ever" [4]. Kali has transformed from a Live Linux distro to an installed distro and has moved from an Ubuntu to a Debian basis, with the lightweight Xfce desktop, if you prefer a GUI. This move gives Kali access to the exceptional Debian repositories. Now a Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS)-compliant system, Kali lets you start any application anywhere, rather than navigating through /pentest
. The Offensive Security team is putting extra effort into making sure their tools are Debian compliant and completely up to date.

So You KINK You Know
KINK Community Album Review
September 13, 2011, 8:25 pm
Music suggestions from the KINK Community
Don't pass these releases by
We're more than halfway through 2011, a good time to pause, stop and reflect on a truly important question. Yeah, that one. Just how many new CD's have we bought so far this year? Here are two that may interest you.
Those lucky enough to catch Augustana's performance at The Aladdin earlier this year know how this band can really deliver live, but what about their latest CD release?
The self-titled CD ("Augustana") from this San Diego-based indie rock band has been out since April. The CD's lead single "Steal Your Heart" can be heard now and then on the radio, but honestly, folks, if there's a bad track anywhere on this album I've yet to find it.
In fact, one wonders why the folks at EPIC Records chose "Steal Your Heart" over "Wrong Side of Love" for initial promotion. Yes, "Steal Your Heart" is a great song, but the vocals, tension and buildup of the latter seem far more arresting and notable. One hopes more hit singles from this worthy effort are forthcoming.
Great but simple songwriting and Dan Layus' touching vocals are among the band's best strengths, taking Augustana from a merely good to a great American band. Justin South's talent as a drummer is another key ingredient. Listen to "On The Other Side," or "Counting the Stars," for perfect examples of how songwriting prowess and great rhythm and energy can add up to superior rock ballads that merit repeated playing.
Other notable cuts include the wistful "Borrowed Time" and the Keane-like "Shot in the Dark." With its winning chorus: "Rising up slowly and getting higher / I've been living with a hole in my heart / Weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter / But I know I still got a shot in the dark," it's another track equally worthy of better promo.
To sum up: this band's had two songs on Billboards "Hot 100 List": 2007's "Boston," and 2008's "Sweet and Low." With this latest effort solidifying their standing and abilities, there's every reason to make sure your 2011 purchases include the new CD, and to expect more hit singles from this exceptionally good band.
T Bone Burnett, The Producer
I'm not one to buy compilation CD's very often, but at first blush "T Bone Burnett, The Producer" had so many interesting artists and songs listed I simply couldn't help myself.
This engaging assortment of artists and tracks opens with the bluesy, grinding twang of string-bass and electric guitar on Gillian Welch's "Pass You By." As guitar notes rise up, over and around Welch's sultry voice, fans of the "O Brother Where Are Thou?" soundtrack will quickly recognize her distinctive style. Here's betting you can't listen to "Pass You By" any other way than volume cranked up.
The driving beat of The Wallflowers' classic "One Headlilght" with Jakob Dylan comes next. Jon Brion's skills on slide guitar and Dylan's dead-on lead vocals remind us of how fantastic this song still sounds some 14 years after it was first released - thank goodness quality stations like KINK-FM still play it.
Sam Phillips' "Baby I Can't Please You" from the album "Martinis & Bikinis" is included here as well. Beautiful pairings between drums and sitar, Phillips' voice and a string section are medicine for the ear. "Baby I Can't Please You" is pure, wonderfully layered psychedelic rock.
KINK listeners will readily recognize "If It Wasn't for Bad," a recent release by dynamic duo Elton John and Leon Russell. Creative keyboard collaboration take this song from great to classic.
The honest storytelling of Steve Earl's Cajun-tinged "Waitin' on the Sky" is but another T Bone highlight. A song this simple and this good makes us want the entire CD from whence it came. (That would be: "I'll Never Get Out of This World Allive," released in April of this year).
And as if all this wasn't enough…
"T Bone Burnett, The Producer" also includes Los Lobos' "One Time, One Night (in America)," a stellar composition by Louie Perez showcasing lead singer David Hidalgo's expert finger pickin' lead guitar. The vocals found here are as warm and smooth as a shot of the finest tequila on a very cold, very dark night. Just try not to tap your foot as Hidalgo makes his way up and down those frets. Seriously, folks, "The Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame" ought to have a separate category for songs as fine as this one.
Sometimes a healthy dose of curiosity pays off big time, so if you're the least bit curious about T Bone Burnett, heed the call. Available at most Starbucks.
Thanks to Cynthia Orlando.

What would it be like to grow old in a culture that values aging? What is an anti-inflammatory diet and why is it beneficial? What part of us never ages? What is our most important legacy?
In a public television special, integrative medicine expert and bestselling author Dr. Andrew Weil discusses aging with unflinching honesty and offers uplifting advice based on his scientific studies and personal observations. With the authoritative but warm style that has made him America's best-know doctor, he urges us to reject the prevailing notion that aging is an evil to be fought off with magic elixirs and invasive procedures. Rather, Dr. Weil emphasizes the rewards of growing older and offers practical steps for remaining healthy in mind and spirit so we can enjoy it. He explains the science behind the best approach to diet and exercise, as well as the benefits of sleep and rest, how to maintain emotional well being, keep your memory sharp, achieve your goals, and contemplate the legacy you want to leave behind.
