Kanye West + G.O.O.D. Music, 'Cruel Summer' – Album Review
After numerous delays, Kanye West's highly-anticipated G.O.O.D. Music compilation 'Cruel Summer' is finally here. On second thought, with just days away before the summer season being over, you could call this album 'Cruel Autumn' — but we digress. The fact that we have some new music from Yeezy and the gang is joyous enough.
G.O.O.D. Music's 'Cruel Summer' is an introductory of sorts for his formidable crew — Big Sean, Teyana Taylor, Kid Cudi, CyHi da Prynce, D'banj, Common, Q-Tip, John Legend and (affiliated member) 2 Chainz. The collection also boasts guest appearances from R. Kelly, Jay-Z, Ma$e, The-Dream, Marsha Ambrosius and Wu-Tang Clan alums Ghosface Killah and Raekwon the Chef.
Kanye is still the master of bringing unique sounds and samples to hip-hop's musical soundscape. On 'Cruel Summer,' he co-produces a handful of head-nodding beats with Hit-Boy, Pop & Oak, Lifted, IllMind, Mannie Fresh, Young Chop and others. Standout tracks on the album include 'To the World,' 'The One,' 'Higher, 'Bliss' and 'I Don't Like' (Remix).
The only downside is that five of the 12 tracks on 'Cruel Summer' have been already released ('Mercy,' 'Cold,' 'New God Flow' and 'Clique' all have graced the Billboard Singles chart). While the newer songs are indeed good, they are not great. Simply put, there album lacks that "Wow" factor.
But that's not to say 'Cruel Summer' isn't an enjoyable listen. It's starts off grandiose and loses steam near the latter half of the album. Overall, 'Cruel Summer' is dope, but we'd suggest you go to iTunes and pick out your favorite rewindable tracks.
1. 'To The World' (Feat. Kanye West and R. Kelly)
Kanye West kicks the album off with a triumphant song that will make the most-depressed person in the world break out of their slumber and put their middle fingers up in the air. Over marching drums, plucking violins and a charging piano, R. Kelly's yearning vocals is the big stand out here. Oh, and it includes Kanye's political shout-out of the year: "Mitt Romney don't pay no tax! Mitt Romney don't pay no tax!" [Listen Here]
2. 'Clique' (Feat. Big Sean, Kanye West and Jay-Z)
Produced by Hit-Boy, this is another infectious track that features an incredible verse from Hova. "Yeah, I'm talking 'Ye / Yeah, I'm talking Rih / Yeah, I'm talking B / Nigga, I'm talking me / Yeah, I'm talking bossy, I ain't talking Kelis / Your money too short, you can't be talking to me," he spits. Big Sean is right, no one is f—ing with this clique. [Listen Here]
3. 'Mercy' (Feat. Big Sean, Pusha T, Kanye West and 2 Chainz)
Everyone should be familiar with this song so there's nothing much to say about it. Undoubtedly, 'Mercy' is one of the hottest songs of the summer along with the equally impressive video. Serve. [Watch the 'Mercy' Video]
4. 'New God Flow' (Feat. Pusha T, Kanye West and Ghostface Killah)
Another previously released track, but this one features a guest verse from Ghostface Killah, which, ironically, the song samples his 2000 track 'Mighty Healthy.' It's a mean track with a menacing piano groove and sampled breakbeat. Pusha T had the standout verse on the original, but Ghostface bodies this song at the end. Call the police, this is a murder rap. [Listen Here]
5. 'The Morning' (Feat. Raekwon, Common, Pusha T, 2 Chainz, CyHi da Prynce, Kid Cudi, Kanye West and D'banj)
Over a minimalist, computer-blipping beat, the posse track features Raekwon detailing a picturesque drug tale, while Com, Pusha, Deuce, CyHi, and Yeezy spit gritty one-liners of black excellence. It's a big standout on the album with Kanye providing the best verses on the track. "I treat the label like money from my shows / G.O.O.D. would've been G.O.D. except I added more o's," he raps. [Listen Here]
6. 'Cold' (Feat. Kanye West and DJ Khaled)
The infamous track in which Kanye professed his love for Kim Kardashian and threw Kris Humphries under the bus. There's some extras on the track (sound effects, echoes, screams) and DJ Pharris shouting out Chicago street blocks. [Watch the Video]
7. 'Higher' (Featuring Pusha T, The-Dream, Ma$e and Cocaine 80s)
Produced by Hit-Boy, this haunting song features a surprise appearance from former Bad Boy rapper Ma$e. Although he's been absent from the rap game for a couple of years, his monotone flow is still intact. "Uh, one-two one-two guess who back again / Harlem in this — what? Yeezy let Manhattan in," he spits, adding, "I'm like a drug overlord, my jewelry's overboard / It's hard to believe dollar-sign E even know the Lord." It looks like Ma$e is making a comeback …again? [Listen Here]
8. 'Sin City' (Feat. John Legend, Teyana Taylor, CyHi The Prynce, Malik Yusef and Travi$ Scott)
This is where the album takes a detour. This is not our favorite song, as it sounds like a throwaway track from Kanye's '808s & Heartbreak' album. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of engaging in the street life. "Sex, drugs, and playin' dices, those are our favorite vices," raps CyHi. "But this life will take a toll on ya / Well I guess you gotta pay the prices." We are not going to gamble on this — skip. [Listen Here]
9. 'The One' (Feat. Kanye West, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Marsha Ambrosius and Cocaine 80s)
A standout on the album — Kanye, Big Sean and 2 Chainz rap celebratory rhymes about being rich and mindful of the "snakes in the grass." Yeezy has the best verse on the song: "I'm the one, baby / Yeah, I'm the one, baby / Since God gave his only begotten son, baby / It's hard preachin' the gospel to the slums lately / So I had to put the church on the drums, baby." [Listen Here]
10. 'Creepers' (Feat. Kid Cudi)
This dark song is tailor-made for Kid Cudi, as he is the only one who could deliver lyrics bemoaning about depression, drugs and paranoia. A creepy song, indeed. [Listen Here]
11. 'Bliss' (Feat. John Legend & Teyana Taylor)
The only R&B-flavored tune on the album. It's an empowering song about overcoming obstacles to achieve your dreams. Legend and Teyana sound great together. Hopefully, we will hear more soulful duets from these two artists. [Listen Here]
12. 'Don't Like (Remix)' (Feat. Pusha T, Kanye West, Big Sean, Chief Keef and Jadakiss)
The album ends with a "bang-bang" — a remix of Chicago spitfire Chief Keef's 'I Don't Like.' The sextet of rappers each offer a laundry list of things that they don't including, two-faced n—as, copycats, snitches, clingy b—-es and fake Gucci. "They ain't about that life, they ain't about that life / We hanging out that window it's about to be a Suge night," raps Kanye. [Listen Here]

Samoa Land and Property
About 90 percent of the land is communally owned by aiga. The existing tenure law on communal lands prohibits alienation of any real property except freehold land to any person whose blood is less that one-half Samoan. Unless the Governor approves the transfer in writing, it is unlawful for any matai of a Samoan family to alienate any family lands to any person or lease it for any term more than 55 years. ASG estimates that 1.5625 square miles of American Samoa's total area of 76.1 square miles are freehold land.
Most American Samoa land is still held communally. Family chiefs, or "matais" have the final say in land distribution. This has aided in keeping valuable land in the hands of idigenous people and in preserving ancient Samoan customs and traditions.

Bestselling LDS romance writer Anita Stansfield knows how to tell a story. Her novels range from historical to contemporary and cover a wide gamut of social and emotional issues that explore the human experience through memorable characters and unpredictable plots. She has received many awards, including a special award for pioneering new ground in LDS fiction, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Whitney Academy for LDS Literature. Hundreds of thousands of readers agree: Anita 's characters and the lives they lead are not easy to forget.
This 3-in-1 value bundle includes:
Passage on the Titanic: Ella Brown grew up in one of London's privileged homes, with all the comforts and luxuries that money can buy. But when sudden financial reversals strike her household, leaving her father dead by his own hand and her mother broken by trauma, Ella is forced from a life of safety and abundance to one of scarcity and fear. Clinging to survival on the filthy streets of the city, she's betrayed by her only friend and burdened by an ill-fated pregnancy. By the time Ella arrives at the hospital in premature labor, she desperately needs an angel of mercy, and one soon arrives: Irene Corbett, a Mormon midwife who has come to London for advanced medical training at the great sacrifice of her family. Irene soothes Ella's pain as she births a son, who lives only minutes, helps her back on her feet, and joins her on a voyage to America on the ship Titanic—where epic disaster rips the two friends apart. Bereaved and alone, Ella finds comfort and healing in the care of rescue crewman Jonathan Moreau and his loving family. But will the dark weight of Ella's past destroy her delicate hopes for the future? Bestselling author Anita Stansfield delivers a story of compassion, hope, and survival set against a backdrop of the greatest tragedy of the early twentieth century.
Shadows of Brierley Vol.1: The Wanderer - As he neared the edge of the crowd, Ian could hear a loud voice preaching some kind of sermon. He bristled from the inside out. The very thought of God encouraged his guilt and tempted him to turn back to the pub, where he could purchase the means to drown out the taunting voices of shame that had taken up comfortable residence in his tortured mind.
Nevertheless, with a few of his remaining coins, Ian purchases a copy of the book from which the "preacher" is quoting, an act that somehow gives this troubled prodigal the courage to leave the dark alleyways of London and begin the long journey home — home to his beloved Brierley and to the woman whose heart he hopes to win.
Little does he realize the impact this book will have on him and his family as they struggle with the grim consequences of unrestrained compulsions and passions, and the seemingly insurmountable challenges of mental illness. As the threads that hold the tapestry of the MacBrier family together threaten to unravel, Ian realizes that . . . The Book of Mormon had been destined to come into his hands, and he was destined to follow where it led him.
In The Wanderer, set in the lush highlands of nineteenth-century Scotland, Anita Stansfield is at her storytelling best. Filled with past regrets and new beginnings, this volume is an extraordinary journey toward faith and peace — a sweeping emotional experience from start to finish.
The Gable Faces East — South Queensland Australia, 1879 - Jess Davies is the victim of a raging feud he doesn't understand. He must fight to survive as he struggles to accept the twisted circumstances of his birth. Meanwhile, Alexandra Byrnehouse, shattered by the events surrounding her father's death, is forced to turn to her family's oldest enemy in order to keep body and soul together.
When Jess and Alexandra meet, they unwittingly take on decades of mistrust, deception, and deep betrayals of the heart. Together they are confronted with arson and murder as they discover unbelievable secrets that first bind them to each other, then tear them apart. If they are to survive, they must learn that passions cannot be chosen--and only the most perfect love can heal the deepest scars.
Very well written--story is fast paced to tell the events in the lives of the characters showing faith and courage and willingness to follow their convictions into the unknown with humility and trust in God
Hard to put your book down.

Made quite the impact
Reviewed: April 3, 2014 by VirginAngel, a Straight Going Steady Female
I got this little beauty in Deal of the Week free after spending £10, but boy is it worth the sale price!
It is a very smooth and sleek metal bullet, with an easy to use push button to turn it on and off. Unlike other waterproof vibrators I have tried, it has a rubber seal where it unscrews to put in the single AAA battery that it takes. This really does keep the water from seeping in, which I have found to be an issue with other waterproof vibrators I own.
I was a little sceptical that this would be very good because it only uses one AAA battery, but it packs quite the punch, with a good strong vibration throughout the entire length. Despite the power, it is also pleasingly quiet, no accidental cases of being overheard.
It is also plenty energy efficient, as I have used this several times now and it has easily clocked up 3 hours of use and the battery shows no signs of giving up. It still has the full vibrating power that it did the first use.
It is a firm favourite in my collection. Simple to use and pleasing every time.
Not only is it great for orgasms on its own through clitoral use, it is very good to gently press against a dildo to provide internal vibrations good for those who, like me, may not like the full power of an actual internal vibrator.
- Pros
- Compact, energy efficient, strong vibrations, great waterproof seal, quiet.
- Cons
- There is nothing I didn't like.
- Bottom line
- I would give this a 10/10. Nothing to dislike, plenty to love!

I love this little vibe. The design is so cute with the silver coloured body and pink button. The vibrations are very powerful and intense.
It is made of very good quality material and the build is very good. It is very easy to use and my hand doesn't slip if I use lube to add a bit of slip and slide.
It is also very quiet, which is of course a bonus.

Andromeda - Five & CountingBy Fred Shedian
Posted at November 8, 2000 - 7:01 PM GMT
We are fast coming up on an important anniversary...the two month birthday of Gene Roddenberry's "Andromeda." We have seen quite a few episodes, giving us a vision of this very interesting universe. Today, I would like to take a few moments to comment on the last two episodes of this show and give several remarks on some problems I am beginning to see develop.
First, I want to take a moment to look at "D Minus Zero" and "Double Helix." Being perfectly honest, I found "D Minus Zero" a very well written character developing episode. However, in some ways, I did have to question some of the dialogue...which in some cases got a bit too predictable. Although this isn't that big of an issue, and I may be getting a bit nit picky, but I would have thought the conflict between Hunt and Tyr could have been handled a little better. Looking at this, I saw a conflict similar to the one Star Trek had between Captain Janeway and Lieutenant Torres during the initial seasons. The predictable conflict didn't hold any real surprises, something I was a bit saddened by.
What I was a little confused about was the conflict between Dylan Hunt and Beka. Previous to this episode, her loyalty really hadn't been firmly established one way or the other. The problem with this is that the audience didn't know who she was relating to. By end of the episode this had indeed changed, but the conflict of changing sides didn't hold the impact the writers wanted because no knew what side she was on initially. The final conflict between Beka and her crew didn't hold the "betrayal" factor which I believe everyone was aiming for. This, in part, gets back to the fact no one knew who Beka was relating to. The attempted establishment towards the beginning of the episode between Beka and Rommie didn't do enough. I hope the writers will try harder next time.
Looking to last week's adventure, "Double Heelix," I have to say I liked what I saw. The continuing conflict between Hunt and Tyr came to a very good "half time" conclusion. Overall, I believe this was an excellent episode detailing the conflict Hunt is facing by being 300 years old and Tyr is facing sticking aboard the Andromeda. Looking at the good old Captain Dylan, the scenes taking place in his "quarters/office" were simply wonderful. The flashbacks are something I sincerely hope the writers will continue to use so that we can gain further information about the Andromeda's past, former crew and their relationship to their Captain. Beyond noticing a very "familiar" looking chess board, the scene between Hunt and his now deceased First Officer was perfect. The conflict between Tyr did also accomplish it's goal, although I was a bit disappointed we didn't learn more about Tyr's history. One can only hope future adventures will further develop this aspect of the show.
There are two issues I would like raise at this point, looking at five episodes of the show. First, I have to say that some of the specials effects are lacking a "serious" tone to them. I really want to say they are beginning to look bland. For example, instead of looking at a "tactical display," perhaps it would be better to actually see a picture of the torpedoes hitting their target. In addition, the "in battle" scenes aboard the bridge honestly disappoint me. These "Matrix" type scenes, being perfectly honest, look ridiculous. Having the crew shift left, shift right, do this in slow motion and put in a yellow haze to show a battle just doesn't work for me. I am not sure if this being done because there is not enough time in the hour to show the actual battle or by design itself. In any event, I hope Andromeda will stay away from this in the future.
My second issue has to do with Dylan Hunt himself. We have yet to see any real emotional impact regarding his situation. We are sitting aboard a ship designed to hold a crew of 4,000 people. Right now, we have perhaps seven aboard...not counting drones. Most of this ship isn't being used. Although Andromeda is maintaining it, there is an excellent potential for some serious flashback material, character development or interesting story lines. For example, if Dylan Hunt did a "tour" of the lower decks of the ship...perhaps areas not accessed since the time change...there would excellent potential for him to finally come to terms with the fact his crew is dead. In addition, there is another side to this story.
If, out of some miracle, another time travel episode comes up...why not take on some people and raise the crew size to fifty? These people wouldn't do too much, but might help establish more "routine" aboard the Andromeda, make it more realistic to maintain the ship (ie: damage control) and help solidify the main characters as "senior people" aboard the vessel...instead of the "only people" aboard the vessel. I still have problems thinking Rommie is able to repair a ship single handedly when the High Guard probably had several hundred engineers aboard. Although I seriously doubt this will happen, the potential for story lines and development is simply astounding. I hope the writers are looking in to this avenue, as I think it one that would be very beneficial to the show.
Once again, I always wish to hear from the readers. Please feel free to give your remarks, sending them to email@example.com. I do ask you make sure to include your name, return e-mail address and the column are you are writing about.
Until next time...
Fred Shedian writes a weekly 'A Take On Trek' column for the Trek Nation.

10 Royals Who Won't Rule Great Britain [PHOTOS]
Everyone, both in the Queen's commonwealth and abroad, is thrilled about the new law allowing the firstborn daughter of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to ascend the throne. This is a huge fete for females everywhere, and though this new change doesn't apply to her, we're sure Princess Anne, The Princess Royal is thrilled that a male won't leapfrog his older sister to take the throne.
With that said, we've featured ten royals who won't be sitting on St. Edward's Chair come coronation day due to their place in line, unless there is some freak accident that wipes out Prince Charles, Prince William, his (unborn) kids and Prince Harry. Though Prince Andrew, Duke of York is fourth in line to the throne, he'll be promptly bumped down even further once William and Kate start having children.
PHOTOS: Meet A Royal Without A Title
Sooooooo, these royals – The Princess Royal, The Duke of York, Prince Edward, Lady Louise Windsor, Viscount Severn, Peter Phillips, Zara Phillips, Savannah Phillips, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice – can enjoy the perks of being a descendent of Elizabeth II (or "gran/granny," as they affectionately call their grandmother) without the responsibility of ruling the commonwealth.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan expects a major improvement in the company's earnings performance over the next few years, bringing it close to the performance level of JPMorgan Chase (JPM), but which stock is a better long-term play?
When asked about the company's goals for returns on assets (ROA) and equity during an earnings conference call on Jan. 15, Moynihan said "we are looking to get to the point where we are returning 1% on assets, which translates into a 14% return on tangible common equity. Those are the types of levels that we see ourselves looking to achieve over the course of the next three years," according to a transcript provided by Thomson Reuters.
Bank of America's ROA during 2013 was 0.53% and its Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE) was 7.94%, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight. Going forward, major U.S. banks will see a drag on ROTCE because they are meeting much higher minimum capital requirements required under the international Basel III agreement and the Dodd-Frank banking reform legislation of 2010.
Bank of America's earnings performance during 2013 was its best since 2007, as the company has been recovering from the credit crisis and its disastrous purchase of Countrywide Financial in July 2008 as the housing market was collapsing. The bank's ROA was 0.94% and its ROTCE was 27.46% during 2007, and its ROA ranged from 1.30% to 1.34%, with ROTE ranging from 27.45% to 36.86% from 2004 to 2006. Looking several years out, those ROTCE figures won't be possible with tangible common equity ratios rising so much over the past few years.

Liquor control board issues Kent lottery results for marijuana retail outlets
Kent's first recreational marijuana retail outlets could open someday at two locations along Central Avenue South and another site on South 228th Street.
Applicants at those three sites received the top three spots for potential Kent outlets after the state Liquor Control Board posted its statewide lottery results on Friday.
The trade names and locations of the three in order are:
• Giving Tree, 8504 S. 228th St.
• Phat Sacks Corp., 534 Central Ave. S.
• Soo P Hong, 604 Central Ave. S.
Just three retail stores are allowed in Kent under state law and nine applicants met preliminary rules out of an initial list of 18. Each of the top three applicants must pass the rest of the licensing process or the liquor board will withdraw the application and move to the next applicant on the list, according to a liquor board media release
The liquor board plans to issue the first licenses in July, when stores would be able to open.
In Kent, however, the City Council in April unanimously passed another six-month moratorium on any marijuana businesses. The city's ban applies to recreational marijuana businesses that voters approved statewide in 2012 when they passed Initiative 502 as well as medical marijuana collective gardens. The council opposes marijuana businesses because the drug remains illegal under federal law and it wants some control about where the businesses might locate if it decides to allow them.
City staff will present potential zoning code changes for marijuana businesses later this year to the city's Land Use and Planning Board, which then will make a recommendation to the council about where businesses might be allowed in the city. The land use board or council also could decide to ban the businesses.
If Kent applicants receive a recreational marijuana license from the liquor board, the city won't issue them any permits because of the ban, said Pat Fitzpatrick, acting city attorney. If the business opens anyway, he said the city will take action. The liquor board will issue licenses to applicants even if a city bans recreational marijuana businesses.
The liquor board's next steps for the top three applicants in Kent is to make sure they pass a criminal history and financial investigation as well as have a location that is not within 1,000 feet of a school, park or other area specified in I-502 as places where children congregate.
Licensing staff also continues to process producer and processor applications, which will provide the marijuana for the retail outlets. As of April 30, the liquor board had issued 25 producer and processor licenses.
The other six Kent applicants for retail outlets in order of their lottery ranking are:
• Odyssey Smoke Shop, 24816 Pacific Highway S.
• Heaven Bound 420 Cannabis Boutique, 1734 Central Ave. S.
• Hazy Days, 534 Central Ave. S.
• Herbal Choice Caregivers, 19011 68th Ave. S.
• Happy Highway, 534 Central Ave. S.
• Twisted Greens Corp., 534 Central Ave. S.

All replies
This could be caused by all sorts of things.
Are your profile encryption keys properly set up? (I think this throws a different exception, but just throwing out ideas)
Is your web configuration file properly set up to allow password reset? (Again, this throws a different exception, but still worth looking at).
How are you setting password answer in the first place? UpmMembershipProvider, or are you setting the profile property manually?
That last one has given me a headache before: UpmMembership provider automatically converts the password answer to lowercase, but you have to do this manually if you set the profile property directly, so even if the passwords were the same, one will hash against an all-lowercase string. That's documented on somebody's blog, but that bug made it pretty far into the stabilization phase of my last project before we figured that out.

Serrano Receives Prestigious Attorney General Award
Senator José M. Serrano was presented with the Attorney General's prestigious Distinguished Public Service Award in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. It was awarded by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to exemplary New Yorkers who have been of service to the Latino community and to society at large. Serrano spoke of the importance of remembering the pioneers who have helped to empower those of Latino Heritage.
"As we remember these trailblazers we must keep in mind that with great power comes great responsibility, and that we owe it to the great men and women who helped us on this path to continue to work toward the development of policies and regulations that will meet the needs of the community," said Serrano. "It is an honor to receive this award, not only on my own behalf, but on behalf of all those who came before me who inspire me daily as a civil servant."
Other honorees included Suleika Cabrera from the Institute for Puerto Rican and Hispanic Elderly, Sonia Ivany from the Latin American Council for Labor, Former President of Hostos Community College Dolores Fernandez, Documentary Filmmaker Alice Cardona, and Educator Lillian Jimenez.

TAMPA — Don't let anyone tell you USF's defensive line didn't receive a big confidence boost from its performance against Florida Atlantic.
The unit, which struggled to get sacks and tackles for loss in its first three games, brought pressure on the Owls in bunches Saturday night, tying a school record with seven sacks from seven players to fuel a 31-3 victory at Raymond James Stadium.
"That feels so good," said senior defensive end David Bedford, who had his sack in the second quarter. "Especially with some of the guys that came through last year, like (former defensive ends George) Selvie and (Jason) Pierre-Paul, to tie the record tonight with guys who maybe don't have the big names like they did is special."
Only two players had sacks this season entering the game, but that list quickly began expanding. The starting defensive line — defensive ends Craig Marshall and Bedford, and defensive tackles Cory Grissom and Terrell McClain — had a sack apiece in the first three quarters.
But USF's leader in pursuing opposing quarterbacks hasn't been a defensive lineman. It has been sophomore safety Jon Lejiste. And he got the Bulls going early in the first quarter, surging past FAU's offensive line and pulling down quarterback Jeff Van Camp for a 6-yard loss.
It was Lejiste's third sack of the season.
Backup defensive linemen Ryne Giddins and Patrick Hampton added sacks.
"Obviously, you can't talk about (Saturday) unless you talk about the loss-yardage plays that our defense came up with," coach Skip Holtz said. "(FAU) had a lot of drives moving forward, and then we would get them way behind the chains with a sack and a loss-yardage play. And I thought that was really the difference."
USF's defense could have had more, too. It hurried Van Camp out of the pocket on many occasions and forced throws that led to two interceptions. Against an offensive line that entered allowing an average of two sacks per game, the Bulls got four in the first half, which surpassed their total in the first three games.
It's an area that defensive coordinator Mark Snyder and Holtz wanted to see improve. The Bulls had 10 sacks in the first four games last season. Now they have matched that total.
"We've been able to get pressure on the quarterbacks we've played, but they've been able to get rid of the ball," Snyder said. "We were fortunate (Saturday) to get that extra step to bring the quarterback down."
For USF's defensive line, Marshall said, the performance was much-needed as the team prepares for its Big East opener Saturday against Syracuse.
"We just wanted to show the Big East conference what we could do," he said. "It gives you a lot of confidence to know that you can put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. We're just ready to get to Big East play."

Heat Advisory #2 on the way
Thu, 18 Jul 2013 13:35:32 GMT —
Heat Advisory will kick in for the second day in a row at 1:00 this afternoon as we'll again see Heat Indices into the Triple-Digits this afternoon (100-104). Skies will be partly cloudy with highs maxing out in the low and mid 80's.
One more warm and muggy night tonight with partly cloudy skies and juicy lows in the mid 70's. Friday will be the last of this prolonged stretch of hot and humid weather, of this Heat Wave. I think tomorrow will be the most intense feeling heat we'll see too as the humidity will be even more intense with forcing in front of the cold front that brings relief for the weekend on Friday night. Tomorrow will be partly cloudy early with increasing cloudiness during the afternoon. A strong westerly wind will develop Friday afternoon as highs climb into the mid 90's with apparent temps of 101-105 degrees. Whew!
Showers and storms move in overnight Friday and will proceed a very comforable weekend as a Canadian High Pressure system slides in behind the cold front and will give us mostly sunny skies Saturday and Sunday afternoons. With lower humidity the weekend will be nearly refreshing as highs top out in the lower 80's.
Next week looks much more seasonable.
Take it easy with plenty of breaks from the heat and plenty of water intake. Hang in there and be sure to give special care to your pets - remember, they've got a fur jacket on!

Of course, any future mutations, which could take several human generations to occur, are of little concern to the thousands of Americans who currently succumb to superbugs each year. "Antibiotic resistance is a huge problem both in nursing homes and in hospitals, where people's immune systems tend to be compromised to begin with," notes Horowitz. "And the pharmaceutical companies have many more antibiotics in development. It's a huge market where companies can make a lot of money."
New 'Miracle' Antibiotic: But For How Long?
In the epic struggle of man against microbe, scientists have won the latest battle, but it remains to be seen which side will win the war. On Tuesday, Pharmacia-Upjohn received FDA approval for the first completely new type of antibiotic in more than 35 years. The medication comes as a welcome weapon in the war on "superbugs," mutated bacteria that, over the generations, have grown immune to the old-standby antibiotics. The new drug, Zyvox, is not a cure-all it attacks only certain forms of bacteria but in tests it cured two thirds of the patients with strains of staph that are immune to the strongest antibiotics currently available. But although there is hope that Zyvox can put a halt to the mutation process by blocking growth much earlier in the bacteria's life cycle, it works in a different way than its predecessors medical experts are taking the news with a grain of salt. "The truth is we don't know who'll win the race," says TIME science reporter Janice Horowitz. "Will we be able to stay ahead of the bacteria, or will they mutate to be stronger than anything we can produce?"

What a difference a day makes — at least to residents on Sunset Drive.
An abandoned burned building and more than 300,000 pounds of debris dumped there are gone thanks to Saturday's cleanup. But residents in the neighborhoods of Casa Drive and Sunset Lane aren't satisfied yet.
"I want the drugs gone from here," said Sandra Kay Williams who lives on Sunset. "And, if people start dumping their stuff here again, I am going to be reporting them (to the police)."
Sunset Lane and Casa Drive are known for drug use and prostitution, according to residents. Chief Tim Molnes said the neighborhoods are a constant drain on city resources and the residents have to do community policing.
"We can make 10 arrests tonight, and they will be back tomorrow," Molnes said. "There are good people on Sunset Lane and we feel for them. But they are a part of the solution."
Residents are encouraged to write down tag numbers and call police when they witness illegal activity. Molnes said taking photos when the crimes are occurring is even stronger evidence. Tips can be provided anonymously to Crime Stoppers. Citizens also are encouraged to attend the Citizens Police Academy to learn how the police department works so they can better assist in arrests and convictions.
Cove House opened a transitional housing unit on Sunset Drive last month. Director Benjamin Tindall said they want to show love to the neighborhood and restore it.
"(The neighborhood) is known for certain stereotypes and stigmas with drug use and other abuses," Tindall said. "We want to remove some of those things so it is a safe environment and area that people can be proud of it and take pride in."
Saturday's cleanup was a start, but residents want more. They agreed the lack of lighting in the neighborhoods contributes to the unwanted activity. City Manager Andrea Gardner said she will investigate the possibility of adding additional lighting to the neighborhoods, which will discourage the drug activity and illegal dumping.
She also discussed the possibility of installing digital cameras.
Apartment manager Shane White lives on Sunset Drive and would like to see the churches join the city in taking back the neighborhood.
"I used to be that gang member and drug dealer. Churches together with the city can accomplish this," White said. "I live there and I see (illegal activity). We need to give people a hand up, not a hand out."

Using wallpaper wall covering is a concept that has been around since first utilized in China over 200 years B.C. And who can forget the timeless charm of parlor walls clad with cottage rose designs; landscape or the horse and carriage scenes so popular during the Victorian era?
Wallpaper as a wall covering is as vogue today as it was a100 years ago. A timeless option that has evolved into new innovative ideas. With a wide variety of styles, materials, and designs from which to select.
Today's Wall Coverings - Countless Styles and Innovative Materials
Today, wallpaper and coverings made from other materials - such as vinyl wall covering, bamboo wall covering, fabric wall covering, wood wall covering, textured wall covering, and even leather wall covering are available. Popular options with vogue interior decor in mind.
An interior wall lavishly adorned with a stunning wallpaper mural, or even fabric wallpaper can give a room that flamboyant flair. Even infinite styles of wall covering borders are available to accent any wall covering style; whether muted and understated, or brash and bold.
Common Problems
Along with the innovations and limitless choices in wall covering material or style, comes the possibility of a wallpaper problem of some type after installation.
One of the most common problem is seams that open up or curl. This can be caused by one of several mistakes when installing:
- Not enough wallpaper paste on the edges when seaming.
- "Over rolling†the seam edges, forcing paste from behind wallpaper.
- Taking too much time aligning the seams; allowing paste to dry along the edges.
Special adhesives are available for gluing down open seams without re-papering the whole wall. An effective and quick solution.
Another problem is curling and loose ends, caused by:
- Inadequate preparation of the wall surface. Such as not sealing the surface, or not applying sizing. While in many cases wallpaper removal in not necessary, surface preparation is a must.
- Too high a room temperature during installation; causing paste to dry too quickly.
- Insufficient paste, or the wrong type paste, used during application.
If the problem exists just on the ends and seams, using the special adhesive can solve the problem without re-papering the whole wall.
Some other problems include:
- Tears when being trimmed - usually caused by using a dull blade. Change utility knife blades frequently.
- Streaks on the surface after application - usually caused by excess paste, which should be wiped away with a damp cloth each time a new section of wallpaper is hung. In some cases a special solution may be necessary for removing wallpaper paste.
- Shading variations - some types of wallpaper or wall covering can vary from roll to roll, causing a noticeable contrast when butted together. Alternating strips for a consistent appearance or sorting and matching rolls to lessen contrast can help. Some types of wall covering can be affected by not using a non-staining adhesive or by improper rolling techniques.
- Gaps between pieces - can be caused by improper surface preparation, or incorrect butting and seaming.
- Wallpaper bubble or blister - caused by improper smoothing, or hanging in low temperature (below 50°F). Improper surface preparation or improper booking can be other culprits. This type problem can sometimes be solved by pricking and smoothing. Or on a larger area, slitting and applying more paste.
Sometimes during surface preparation, old deteriorating wallpaper must be removed in order to obtain a suitable surface for new wallpaper. Many homeowners, after trying to scrape off old wallpaper, are left wondering how to remove it more quickly and efficiently. Using a wallpaper steamer is the best, most efficient method; they can be found in most rental stores.
Consider Hiring a Wall Covering Professional
Hanging wallpaper or other wall covering can be a very involved task. One requiring much attention to proper procedure and detail for project success. Many homeowners opt to hire a wall covering contractor for the project. A reliable professional can get the job done accurately, and quickly; without the hassle of trial and error.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on LB Bruce Carter: 'We have some real reasons to be excited'
Dallas Cowboys coaches believed that Bruce Carter was going to be a perfect fit for their new 4-3 defense at weak-side linebacker going into the 2013 season. But Carter never emerged into the type of player the Cowboys felt like he could become in their Tampa 2 scheme.
Carter seemed to lose his confidence at times and struggled in pass coverage more than the Cowboys ever thought he would.
But Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he's confident Carter can still be "outstanding."
"He's working at it, though. We saw things, there's an old adage, if you've seen him do it a few times, you know they can do it at least and you go from there," Jones said. "We know he can do what this defense calls for and be outstanding. We have some real reasons to be excited about him and certainly he'd be the first to say that he had some things that he'd like to take back.
"Overall, he's got a future here … and that's a positive. It's not a condition, he's going to become more of a pro and more understanding about the kind of commitment and the kind of detail and preparation it takes and he'll be a lot better for it. He's got the other stuff that nobody can coach, and that is speed and physical assets."

U. at Buffalo Closes Gas-Drilling Institute Accused of Improper Industry Ties
The University at Buffalo will close its controversial Shale Resources and Society Institute, whose work came under fire from critics who accused its researchers of having improperly close ties to the gas industry. Satish K. Tripathi, the university's president, announced his decision to shut down the institute on Monday, after consulting with faculty members and other top administrators on the State University of New York campus. The institute had released a report this year claiming that pollution from the gas-drilling technique known as fracking had declined in recent years—findings that critics questioned as they pointed out the researchers' industry ties. In a letter to the university, Mr. Tripathi said that research of such great importance could not be conducted under a "cloud of uncertainty." He added that the university's disclosure rules were consistent with federal guidelines, but were "in need of further clarification" because they had been applied inconsistently. Mr. Tripathi originally defended the institute and its work, but he wrote on Monday that "every faculty member has a responsibility to ensure that conclusions in technical reports or papers are unambiguous and supported by the presented data."Return to Top

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney held a surprise late-night press availability to address the maelstrom surrounding hidden camera video that surfaced today, showing Romney telling a crowd of wealthy donors that 47% of the electorate are "dependent" on government because they see themselves as "victims," and that it's not his job "to worry about those people."
Romney offered no apology, other than to concede that his point was "not elegantly stated," and drew a distinction between a "political process" and what he says in front of people he knows can hear him.
Nothing Romney said at the ultra-brief presser was nearly as newsworthy as the very fact that he held it, a sign of the seismic panic this clip has caused. The campaign was already reeling from a Politico story about campaign disarray that had already dominated much of today's news cycle. The hidden camera video, taken at a May 17 fundraiser at the home of hedge fund manager Marc Leder, is only the tip of the iceberg. Mother Jones' David Corn has over an hour of footage from the event, which he says he will begin rolling out "soon."

It's one thing to be a heated, competitive individual, but there is a point when that goes from being a good thing to being a detriment to your team. Wideout Titus Young of the Detroit Lions, a second year man out of Boise State, crossed that line when he punched a teammate, and now he's paying the price for it by being banned from practice.
It is being reported that Young is banned from the voluntary OTA's until further notice by the Detroit Lions for punching safety Louis Delmas during last week's voluntary workouts. To make matters even worse, Young didn't even straight out punch Delmas; he waited until the safety wasn't looking before sucker punching him.
Lions head coach Jim Schwartz refused to comment on the situation due to the Lions still being in the voluntary part of their offseason conditioning.
"This is the voluntary part of our offseason program," head coach Jim Schwartz said after Monday's practice. "There is no need to comment. It sort of entails that it is not voluntary. I'm not going to comment on any other thing."
For Young, this is just one more incident in a long line for the troubled young receiver. Though productive when on the field (Young caught 48 passes for 607 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie), Young has repeatedly been dogged by his own misfortunes; especially when he was at Boise St.
As the Associated Press put it in 2010 "Titus Young was once so deep in [Boise State head coach] Chris Petersen's doghouse that just seeing the football field again was going to be an accomplishment."
The only plus for Young is that he has managed to climb back out of situations like this and become even more productive, using them as motivation to improve himself and his game.
"I'll take a setback as a setup for a comeback," Young told the AP in 2010. "I learned from my mistakes and it's unfortunate I wasn't on the field for that time, but I still have the opportunity to play right now and I'm looking forward to the future. That was the past, just keep on building, keep on playing, keep on practicing."
It's evident that Young still has a long way to go to control an obvious temper and need to lash out, but those things aside, it's also obvious that he has the skills to succeed in the NFL; and that's enough to get you some wiggle room as far as attitude goes.
Wiggle room, however, only extends so far. So here's hoping Young learned his lesson after this latest fiasco and can get back to playing football.

The Deal
- $12 for $20 worth of specialty cakes and fresh-baked goods
- See the menu.
Sorella's Homemade Baked Goods
Sisters Monica Ingles and Bertha Ferguson didn't perfect their buttercream recipe overnight. It took years of trial and error, hard work, and creativity to develop the creamy icing that writers from Metro Parent lauded as "just the right mix of silky, smooth buttery taste." The sisters spread their signature buttercream across their freshly baked specialty cakes before adding sprigs of dark-chocolate shavings, drizzles of raspberry reduction, and crowns of fresh berries. The versatile chefs whip up cakes with a sweeping array of flavors and fillings, and decorate them in whimsical custom designs. The sisters favor intricate swirls of icing and delicate frosted flowers when designing their elegant multi-tiered wedding cakes, which have won "Best Of" awards from The Knot for three years running.
In addition to custom cakes, Monica and Bertha extend their culinary expertise to a variety of gourmet baked goods, including cupcakes, fresh-fruit tarts, and treat bars in imaginative flavors such as cinnamon pumpkin and s'mores. They even offer savory quiches filled with bacon, mushroom, and spinach. The sisters operate out of a shop where glass display cases showcase a dazzling assortment of seasonal cakes, the air smells like baking cookies, and the cash registers are made of milk chocolate and gumdrops.

HAVING been born in this country and lived here all my life, I am tired of hearing from the media about the elderly living longer.
I, like many others of my generation, left school at 14 years old and I worked until I was 67.
We all paid income tax and insurance stamp all our working life.
Anything we received from the government is only some of the coffers my generation have put into the country.
Look further afield to the cheats and others who have paid nil into the system.
We lived and worked during a war, with ration books and foodbanks.

Fastlink error
REGARDING taxi charges for Fastlink, Fastlink is going to be as big a waste of money as the Edinburgh trams (Evening Times, July 21).
About 80% of its route does not serve residential properties and the good folk of Govan don't know much, if anything, about it.
Would it not have been easier to ask the folk how to improve their service rather than assume.
At present, the service into the Southern General Hospital grinds to a halt in the early evening, before the tender service kicks in after a gap of two hours.
Instead of providing a Fastlink to the Broomielaw, why not give us a more needed service to Cessnock/Paisley Road Toll?
Tommy Campbell, Posted online
Complex polls
MR COMRIE (Letters, July 21) should note that only around 50% of the Scottish electorate turn out to vote in General Elections when he complains of a Government that Scotland didn't vote for.
This is more complex than Hollywood films.
Neil Macdonald Via email
Tower example
DELIGHTED to see the Glasgow Tower has reopened.
It should be a great asset for the city and I can't wait to try it out. Just a shame their isn't a restaurant at the top.
Such tourist attractions will help Glasgow continue to flourish.

Facing a much taller Sutter team, the Woodland Wolves at times found themselves jumping to defend passes on Friday that their opponents could snag without leaving the ground.
In the end the height disadvantage was too much to overcome and Woodland lost to the visiting Huskies 61-49.
The game was played at Douglass Middle School to avoid conflict with the Buck Bailey Invitational boys tournament being held in Woodland's main gymnasium.
Woodland trailed by 15 at halftime and never really got much closer. They did stay within striking distance, however, largely on the long-range shooting of senior Amanda Miller, who had 21 points.
Miller made six 3-pointers, four in the second half.
"They were definitely a momentum push," Woodland coach Nick Arriaga said of Miller's threes. "
"She definitely kept us there in the game. I just wish more of her shots would have fallen for us. She always has the hot hand."
Emily King added 12 points and Haley Weiss had seven for Woodland (2-5).
"They definitely battled all the way up to the end," Arriaga said of his players. "(Sutter) definitely clogged up the paint, but we were still able to penetrate and kick it out to (Miller) and she knocked down those threes.
"We definitely showed that we can play with a team of that type."
Woodland is back in action on Monday with a 7 p.m. game at Elk Grove.

There has been a steady drip-feed of information from Bradford Park Avenue this week and press officer Lewis Sale has primed supporters to expect plenty more during the close season.
Avenue boss John Deacey has been negotiating with players and working closely with the club's finance director Kevin Hainsworth.
On Tuesday the club announced that Paul Walker had signed a contract extension for another 12 months, a day later Alex Davidson followed suit and then yesterday the news was revealed that skipper Nathan Hotte had also committed.
Sale said: "I would ask our fans to keep a close eye on the club because things are developing every day.
"John is keen to get his squad in place and is talking to players and potential signings.
"There is a lot going on behind the scenes. Kevin is drawing up contacts and doing his number crunching to provide the best budget he can.
"I know it's the close season but we are all really busy and working long into the evening most nights. It's important that we keep getting the information out to our supporters and, of course, the media.
"There are things developing all of the time – and not just with the guys signing up for the coming season. There is work going on with the ground and pre-season friendly games to finalise."
Avenue have already confirmed the details of three warm-up games, with Doncaster Rovers and Sheffield United both visiting Horsfall while Deacey's men will travel to play Witton Albion.
Paul Dickov's Doncaster will be at Horsfall Stadium in just six weeks on Wednesday, July 9. That is four days before this summer's World Cup reaches its conclusion in Rio de Janeiro.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Hi and welcome to Just Answer. I will try my best to give you a precise and accurate answer.
There are several things you can do. This TV has an analog audio output and a digital audio output. You are lucky, most TVs only have the digital.
So, you can do the following:
Powered speakers - self contained speakers with the amplifier built in. Think of the speakers on your PC only bigger.
Sound Bar - probably your best bet, a slim wide speaker that goes under your TV and a separate subwoofer. From about $200. Here: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HW-C450-Soundbar-Speaker/dp/B0037QF9UA/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1288905571&sr=1-2
Home Theater System - usually comprising a receiver and speakers with a DVD player built in. Also from about $200. Here: http://www.amazon.com/LG-LHT854-1000-Watt-Disc-Theater/dp/B0018YXP5Y/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1288905745&sr=1-4
Those are the three most basic ways of connecting your TV.
I only get paid if you click and it does not close our dialog together...we can continue with your issue. Thank you very much.
I have Bose multimedia speakers. Can these be hooked up and how?
Ok, do you have a model number please?
Well, I just looked at the manual for this TV and it does not have an analog audio out - only a digital audio out utilizing a optical jack.
So your speakers will not work without doing some kind of digital to analog conversion. Amazon sells this: http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Analog-Converter-Adapter/dp/B003OND0N4/ref=dp_cp_ob_e_image_3
You run an optical cable from the TV to the box and then you would need a RCA to 3.5mm adapter to your speakers. Like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Male-3-5mm-Stereo-Female-Y-Cable/dp/B000I23TTE/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1288908344&sr=1-1
You would plug your speakers into the small end of that adapter.
That should work but I can't guarantee it.
Ok, but you still may want to consider a cheap soundbar like the one I previously mentioned. It would be much less hassle and sound better but of course, it would be a tad more expensive. Please do not forget to click the green ACCEPT. I'll still be here and I appreciate the click. Thanks.

.. the University of Memphis Tigers!
In a highly calculated and scientific manner, I can with 100% confidence tell you that Memphis will defeat the Kansas University Jayhawks 74-71 this evening in the NCAA title game. You might be asking yourself, "how can he be so sure? How does he know?"
My answer? D.C. United told me. And if a soccer team determined it, then it must be so. Here's the breakdown: 15 picked Memphis to win (13 players, two coaches) and 14 picked Kansas to win (13 players, one coach). Following are their predictions:
Those who think Memphis will win obviously think it will be a fairly high-scoring affair, while the Kansas supporters are relying on a more defensive battle. By totaling up the average score of all predictions, you'll see that we come to a 74-71 Memphis win.
If this isn't a completely foolproof way to determine tonight's winner, then I just don't know what is. Care to take a guess as to which player's prediction will be correct? I'm going with the well-informed Franco Neill and his 94-86 Memphis win.


text: Hi, I am looking for a way to play music from my S2 through my Nissan Connect Car Stereo. The Car Stereo is fairly sophisticated (integrated Sat Nav etc.) but won't allow me to connect via bluetooth for any function other than to use the phone. I therefore have to use the USB cable. When I connect the two devices Kies opens automatically and then doesn't do anything so I shut this down. When I try to play music it just plays through the phone's speakers. I've searched all over the web but haven't found a fix for this yet. Any help much appreciated. Dan

Feeling hungry is a normal part of breastfeeding — your body is working hard to make all that milk! Choosing healthy snacks will help you satisfy your hunger without packing on unnecessary pounds, and luckily there are some quick, easy choices that will satisfy you.
Fruits that can be eaten with one hand, such as apples and bananas, are ideal for nursing moms. It's also a good idea to keep some chopped-up fruit on hand. You'll be a whole lot more likely to snack on pineapple if it's already cut up and in the fridge than if you have to get out the big knife. If pre-slicing or cutting up fruit is too much of a hassle, canned or frozen fruit is totally fine. Just avoid the kind with added sugar — buy the kind packed in water or natural juices and not the kind packed in light or heavy syrup.
Think chopped cucumbers, peppers, celery and carrots. Keep a selection of cut-up veggies in the fridge, ready to go when you need to grab a snack. If you like dip, hummus and yogurt-based dips are both good choices.
Almonds, walnuts and pecans all are filling and great sources of protein. (But if you or your baby has any kind of nut allergies, nuts are obviously not a good choice!)
Spread some peanut, almond or sunflower butter on whole grain bread. Or layer a bit of lean chicken and cheese on toast. A quarter or half of a sandwich can help satiate your hunger while giving you a nutritional boost.

At a public hearing Monday in Sherman Oaks, Calif., Los Angeles-area citizens complained to FAA Western-Pacific regional administrator Bill Withycombe about noise caused by low-flying helicopters. For Palos Verdes Estates resident Freddie Benson, the sound of an MD500 passing by her house on July 31 below the level of her 130-foot-msl yard "was absolutely deafening."
On August 2, Los Angeles county supervisor Zev Yaroslavky's enjoyment of Beethoven's Violin Concerto was ruined when a helicopter flew over the Hollywood Bowl at a low altitude. "This was an outrage," he said. The LA Philharmonic's Leni Boorstin said there are an average five helicopter flyovers during evening performances at the Bowl, many nonemergency.
Neighborhood representatives complained about a lack of neighborly flying by helicopter operators and begged Withycombe for new regulations limiting hovering and loitering time, mandating minimum altitudes of 2,000 agl (recommended in HAI's Fly Neighborly program) and requiring helicopters to have easily visible N-numbers.
The meeting was hosted by Congressman Howard Berman (D-Valley Village), who last year submitted noise relief bill H.R. 2677, which has received no political support.
Local helicopter pilot/reporter Chuck Street told the audience, "I'm concerned about your concerns. Most helicopter pilots don't want to make you an enemy."

Back to Our Roots: Poets Elizabeth Alexander, Karl Kirchwey, Meredith Martin and Abe Louise Young to Read at Smith
Editor's note: For a photo of any of the featured poets, contact Marti Hobbes at (413) 585-2190.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass.—In an evening celebrating the work of four poets critical to the development of Smith's Poetry Center, now in its 10th year, Smith will present poets Elizabeth Alexander, Karl Kirchwey, Meredith Martin and Abe Louise Young at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4, in Stoddard Auditorium. The event is free, open to the public and wheelchair accessible.
Elizabeth Alexander
While at Smith as a Grace Hazard Conkling Poet from 1997 to 1999, Alexander served as the first director of the Poetry Center. With founder Annie Boutelle, Alexander guided the center through its first two years, establishing its focus. A professor at Yale University and a scholar of African-American literature and culture, Alexander recently published a collection of essays, "The Black Interior." Poet Clarence Major wrote, "Alexander has an instinct for turning her profound cultural vision into one that illuminates universal experience." Hers is a vital and vivid poetic voice on race, gender, politics and motherhood. Alexander was recently awarded the inaugural Jackson Prize from the nonprofit literary organization Poets & Writers and was one of three finalists for the 2005 Pulitzer Prize. Her latest collection of poems, "American Sublime," is rich with persona poems, jazz riffs, historical narratives, sonnets, elegies and "ars poeticas," a literary device that uses the form of poetry to define or describe the nature of poetry itself.
Karl Kirchwey
Having served for 13 years as director of the 92nd Street Y Unterberg Poetry Center in New York City, Kirchwey was uniquely qualified to provide crucial ideas to the Smith Poetry Center, which was under development during his years at the college as Grace Hazard Conkling Poet from 1995 to 1997. Author of four books, Kirchwey currently directs the creative writing program at Bryn Mawr College and has published four volumes of poetry, most recently "The Happiness of This World." His poetry brushes away the layers of fog and cobweb settled over history, revealing classical resonances in every piece of contemporary life. Poet Mary Jo Salter has aptly called him "a poet for whom the world of antiquity is as real as this morning's breakfast." Kirchwey's poems have been widely anthologized in volumes such as "Poetry After 9/11: An Anthology of New York Poets," "The Best of the Best American Poetry 1987-1998" and "After Ovid: New Metamorphoses."
Meredith Martin, Smith Class of 1997
Martin studied poetry at Smith with Kirchwey and Boutelle and helped develop the proposal for a poetry center. Martin earned a doctorate in comparative literature from the University of Michigan and teaches at Princeton University. She is at work on two book-length projects—"The Rise and Fall of Meter: Poetic Form and English National Culture, 1880-1920" and "'I'm Nobody or I'm a Nation': Colonial Metrical Education and the Formation of Poetic Identity"—as well as articles on Gerard Manly Hopkins and Robert Bridges.
Abe Louise Young, Smith Class of 1999
Writer, educator and editor Young assisted Alexander in the first two years of the Poetry Center and went on to earn a master's of fine arts at the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a James Michener Fellow. Young has published poems, essays and reviews in many journals and anthologies. Editor of "Hip Deep: Opinion, Essays and Vision from American Teenagers," she has led writing workshops with residents of public housing and gifted high school students and has won praise for innovative teaching at the college level. She has also worked as an oral history consultant for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Danish-American Dialogue for Human Rights and is founder and director of Alive in Truth: The New Orleans Disaster Oral History Project.
The reading will be followed by a book sale and signing. For further information, contact Cindy Furtek in the Poetry Center office at (413) 585-4891 or Ellen Doré Watson, director, at (413) 585-3368.

Movie buffs planning to enjoy Montcalm London hotels should ensure they do not miss the 56th BFI London Film Festival.
Starting on October 10th, the festival brings together a number of venues across the capital and includes a total of 14 world premieres, including a new Rolling Stones documentary entitled Crossfire Hurricane by Brett Morgen as well as the Bollywood saga Chakravyuh.
There has also been a revamp of the festival to include awards in 2012 to compete with other international events.
"It helps to position the festival more internationally," explained recently appointed festival director Clare Stewart
"It puts you in the playing field with festivals like Cannes, Venice and Berlin."
A total of 12 films have been selected to compete against each other for the title of Best in Festival, while eight British directors and actors have been shortlisted for the Best Newcomer award.
Many of the screenings, talks and workshops will take place at Leicester Square cinemas and the BFI Southbank but there have been a number of new venues added to ensure no one misses out. For the first time the Hackney Picturehouse, Renoir, Everyman Screen on the Green and Rich Mix have been invited to host BFI London Film Festival events.
Lasting 12 days, there is sure to be something for all types of movies fans and the whole event begins with the European premiere of Tim Burton's 3D animation Frankenweenie and ends with a screening of Mike Newell's adaption of Great Expectations featuring Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes.
Tickets for the general public go on sale on September 24th, although BFI members are able to purchase them before this date, so people need to act quickly to make sure they do not miss out on the key events.
