I'm a pre-med student, but I started out late in the race and just started looking around the net for information. As a sophomore, my GPA is pretty much shot right now. I have also heard that medical schools do not accept D's.
So my question you is what is your opinion of the path that a weak applicant should take? Also, are there fourms out there that have the same subject as your blog?

hey i am in my last year of pre- med and Ive made it through with an accumulative GPA of 3.877, and I got a 29 on my MCAT, I volunteered at my local hospital but that's the only volunteer work i did. How are my chances of getting into a good medical school?
Thank you

Hi, im about to begin school again at the age of 23. I have an associates in electronics and computer science. Im just curious about what anybody thinks as far as being to old to start med school. I will have to retake all of my classes over again due to the fact that I went to a private college for my first degree. I've always been interested and always loved the idea of being a doctor. Im just hoping that I make the right choice now. I figure if I dont do it now I will never have the oppurtunity again.
Dan Ruppel said,
Im thinking I want to get into internal med, and maybe sub off of that into infectious disease. What field are you in? I have emailed so many different professor's and never a response. Thank you so much for your time!

I am a reapplicant and have a lot of advice to give. I have a Master's, 3.8 GPA and 30MCAT (all 10's), 5 publications, 3 years research, 3 years volunteer work, tutoring, etc. The following is how I would list the importance of deciding factors for medical school acceptance:
1. Connections…if you have connections, numbers don't matter, my friend got an acceptance into one of the top illinois med schools because of his uncle. He had a 3.4GPA and took the MCAT twice (24 and 29), has no research, no tutoring, and one volunteer activity for 1 year). I can probably fill this section up with how my other friends got in with connections.
2. Luck…most medical schools get a lot of apps, northwestern over 8,000, UIC over 10,000, Loyola over 9,000 etc. If you calculate that even 10% (underestimating) have at least a 3.5 and 30MCAT with some other EC activity, that's about 1000 "worthy" apps, pretty hard to distinguish between these, so hope that the committee member reviewing your particular app is having a good day or likes something about you, which reminds me, make sure that your personal statement is very personal. Don't write it like a resume, I have found (after talking with many advisors and admissions deans) that it is best to pick one or two experiences and show how those specific experiences influenced your life and led you to consider medicine as your LIFE, this way you are remembered by your unique experience and not by general experiences which everyone else probably has as well. Think about it, if i tell you that i care about people, that's all you get from it – if you even take my word for it, but if I tell you that on the way to school i saw an lady with a flat tire on the side of the road, so i pulled over and fixed her tire in the pouring rain, not only does it show that i am a caring person (without ever having to explicitly state it), it also gives more to the reader. The reader could also infer that i am probably selfless and generous. So from this short anectode the reader gets much more, it keeps the reader engaged, and provides some imagery so that the reader can put him/herself there.
3. MCAT/GPA…obviously you need a good MCAT and GPA. You should really buy the MSAR for $25. It gives all the numbers involved with med school acceptances. Remember, whe it says median MCAT and GPA don't freak out if you're below because the median means 50% of accepted students have an MCAT/GPA above and 50% have below the listed values.
4. Volunteer….Make sure you do some volunteering in a hospital/clinic so that you can write about patient contact experience in your AMCAS experience section and have something to talk about in your interview. Along with this, try to do a little bit of humanitarian work such as serving in soup kitchens and homeless shelters. It provides the compassion and empathy schools are looking for. Anyone can say the care for others, but when you have specific experiences to write/talk about, it makes it that much more personal.
Unfortunately, I must get some work done now, but if i have time i will try to finish this post. Just remember, it is getting harder and harder each year, MCAT's and GPA's are rising and so is the application pool. Make sure you put your all into this the first time you apply. Oh, and other's are right, it's never too late. I have several friends in their late 20's and early 30's applying to medical school this year. Remember this is your entire future, so don't get lazy. Go Big or Go Home!!!
good luck everyone

I am a biochemistry major and have GPA 3.0, and have done some works in hospital. Do I have a chance get in a medical school if my MCAT score is over 32.
tom said,
Hi, My overall GPA is 3.5, while my science GPA is 3.8, my MCAT is a 27 and I also have a marked trend of improvement in GPA (from a 2.9 in my first 3 semesters) I also have 2 years of clinical research under my belt. What are my chances of getting in?

Hi, So I am leaving for the Navy very soon. I did eh ok in high school, but I am very determined in pursuing a career in medicine. I'm going into the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman (figuring this is as close as i can to medical officers/doctors while being enlisted) so would this help me "prepare" for a healthcare career? Would this be a good experience for volunteer work and being selfless to my devotion to save others? Also i plan on getting either my master's or bachelor's while i'm in…would that make a difference if i got the degree online/LDL/in the armed services? I mean I am 19 and starting my life…but c'mon! Medicine is ultimately intriguing to any wonderous, expanding mind. What do you pre-med / med students think of this plan? How about you doctors? Any advice would be gladly appreciated!

Hey.I am young,but I am very interested in being a Interventional Cardiologist.I am a 16 yrs old 10th grader,but as soon as I get out of high school I plan to go to UT Knoxville.Can you give me some tips on what to do my next few years preparing for med school?I have very high grades,and I am a very responsible student.I have the money and grades to be one.I am a very determined person,and I have planned many years of my future out.Adults tell me that I shouldn't worry so much about what im going to be,but I want to be prepared.I just need any help you can give me.Thanks so much!
Landon said,
No I am not joking.I have the highest grades.I was valedictorian.I need some info on what to do to help prepare for pre med.What do I need to do?I am NOT joking.I am really focused on my future.Please help!
john said,
hi halfMD,
i have a undergraduate degree in biology but my gpa only 2.9 because i just wanted to get a job when i finished school. Later i found out chiropractic cured my migrane headache completely. So i finished my chiropractic gpa around 2.7. Later, i found out that patients need more than just spinal manipulation. So i decided to go to med school now which i started to enroll in the master program because my undergraduate school was not good enough. i completed the master degree with 3.8 GPA sport health science. the question is if medical school looks at my master gpa more or undergraduate gpa or chiropractic gpa.
Dadrian L. Johnson said,
Im a senior at Hallsville High that is strongly concidering a profession in the medical field, more specificly, Pediatrics. Im concerned with how hard it is to actually get into medical school, and become a doctor. If anyone has any advice or comments inform me. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks.
Bill said,
I would also like to get an opinion on my chances of acceptance to med school. I have a B.S. degree with a focus in Biochemisty and Molecular Genetics. My overall GPA was 3.46 and my science GPA was 3.35. I graduated with honors. I also received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and did a 3 year Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harvard University. I have authored or co-authored 11 manuscripts in the fields of cancer and immunology, of which I am first author on 8 of the papers, all with impact factor of 3-10. My MCAT score was 29. I have presented posters at several international conferences and have advised several med and graduate students. Thanks.
Dylan said,
Hi, I'm a high school student in San Diego and sports are my passion. Ever since I was young, I've dreamed of being the Chargers team doctor. I've gotten great grades in high school, excellent standardized test scores along with strong extracurricular activities, all adding up to a good change of being accepted into a great college (preferably U. of Notre Dame). My questions are, should I be looking at a lot of other colleges and which ones have strong pre med courses? Also, to obtain a sports doctor position, what kind of path do I have to take after my pre med courses in a four year degree?
I know this forum is more about Med School, but if you could answer these questions it would be a real help.
Rahul said,
What about Caribbean medical schools? I was a 26-year-old laid-off electrical engineer, too broke to volunteer, and too burnt-out to take the MCAT. I did take premed courses at a local community college and did very well. I'm just graduated from basic sciences, and am studying for the USMLE 1.
George Peters said,
Hi, I was just wondering how large a factor what medical school plays into getting a residency and job where you want. I realize getting into Harvard Med is a bigger deal than say Oakland University. But when you say apply to as many school as possible, is it simply the money issue that would prevent you from doing that, or is getting into a below average medical school that bad of a thing.
Sarah Jibbs said,
My friend is studying to be a doctor just for the money. She's so not gonna get in. Good luck to all of you!
Mark said,
Im in a life sciences program at u of toronto.One thing people should take in consideration is the cost of the whole process. Where are you going to get such funds and will it destroy you financially later in life? Going into debt seems to be the staple but what happens if you don't want to be a doctor all of a sudden (life changes)? Sure you will be able to pay for it as a doctor but you should be 100% commited in the first place. Just my two cents.

Hey halfmd,
I started my first year of college in the mind set of just becoming a graphic designer, I then realized, I could be so much more. I am starting a pre-med track along with my graphic design major. Would choosing to stay in this major effect my chances of getting into medical school? by the way, i want to become an anesthesiologist 🙂 thanks!
Tiana said,
My situation is similar to Daniels. at the moment i am doing my second year of A levels (in the UK) I'm studying Media,Graphic Design and Photography, however, i really miss doing scientific subjects and would like to be able to study medicine and keep the graphic design aspect as a hobby or something i return to later in life. I'm worried that even if i took more A levels in Biology and Chemistry, med schools are more keen to accept the kind of students that have planned on being in medicine from a very young age and will see my previous A levels as a sign of me being unfocused.
Brenna said,
Hi! Great article. It was very informative and the comments have been helpful as well. I'm majoring in Neuroscience and I have about 4 years of school left to go, so I'm picking my extracurriculars early. I will be volunteering at a psych hospital (I'm 70-30 on psych-neurology as far as what I want to specialize in). Aside from that, would tutoring and, say, an officer spot in the chemistry club suffice? I'm aiming to have my gpa at around 3.8 if possible, but I know that strong extracurriculars can make all the difference.
Biraj said,
Hi, I am a sophomore in High School
I know I am really young to be thinking about med school, but it is my dream and alway has been my dream to be in the medical field.
What classes should I take, and does my gpa really matter right now?
n00b said,
Hey, I'm a junior in high school, and it seems that no one will answer the kids' questions. Next year, I plan on attending Texas A&M University and majoring Biomedical Engineering. To prepare yourself for the rigorous demands of a pre med track, here are some helpful tips for high school kids:
1 Take as many AP classes as you can handle (Let's hope you will be able to handle all the AP courses). Be sure to make A's in all of them. You need to prove to yourself that you can have at least a 3.5 without weight. Try and "clep out" of those tedious Comp., Lit., Gov. and Eco. classes so you can focus your attention on the sciences.
2 Volunteer at a hospital. You'll be doing mostly busy work, but it's helpful to be in a medical environment.
3 Be sure to network. When I volunteered at a hospital, I was either socializing with the surgeons I worked with or watching and soaking up all the information I could. I was able to sit in on three surgeries, I shadowed a doctor, I got to examine organs, and I was able to pick up on a few helpful terms.
4 Start learning the body parts and functions now. Memorize the easy but monotonous information now. That's one thing you wont have to worry about in college and med school.
5 Get involved. By getting involved, it will be easier to force yourself to do those pesky but necessary things you must do to be admitted into medical school.
5 Come to the realization that you will be unable to go out every weekend and party/constantly socialize. You're trying to be a med student, not a business major. Believe me, I wish I had realized this two and a half years ago. If you don't enjoy studying, then perhaps you should rethink your choice of career path.
6 Don't loose focus.
I hope this helps!
Zach Wilson said,
Thanks for your posts. I read your articles semi-religiously, and it's nice to have an honest, real-world voice describing the reality of medical school and residency. Keep it up.
Hey, I'm sorry to contour to the "can I get into med school?" trend, and I know you said not to ask, but I'm a little curious as to your opinion of my specific situation. My first year of school I was a math major, very unfocused and uninspired, and received a couple D's and an F, dropped some of my courses and was put on academic probation. Since then I've realized my passion for medicine, got my act together, and have had a 3.8 GPA, along with some humanitarian volunteer experience, some time working in a hospital, and a 32 MCAT. However, my cumulative GPA took a hit from my first year (only a 3.39). What are my chances, considering I have some blemishes on my record, but have had immense noticeable improvement since then?
Thanks again, and keep posting.
Mike Radanovich said,
Hello, first of all thank you for this informative post. I am a school student and really considering doctor as my career. In my first year of high school I really messed up my grades and my GPA is bad, So I am going to a community college for about 2 years and then complete the other 2 in UCLA. Meaning that I will take my pre-med classes in UCLA. Is this a problem because I will not take general courses in UCLA?
Kashfin said,
Just a heads up, med school apparently like people with double majors. So if you are pre med and are also pursuing a degree in photography, it just makes you stand out more. They like the diversity 🙂
Jeffrey M. Yount said,
I am a twenty-one year old starting my first year as a pre-med student structuring my schedule around classes such as biology of the human body, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and psychology. My advisor doesn't seem to be seasoned enough to ask questions regarding course structure for pre-med students. If you could offer any assistance such as; classes to take, recommended medical schools, or MCAT preparation they would be greatly appreciated. My overall goal is to indulge in the twelve year journey to become an ophthalmologist. I am under the impression you must become a general MD then specialize in ophthalmology which includes an additional four years, correct? I am just needing a little confirmation that I am on the right track with courses and such to ensure a good shot at medical school. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello there,
Right now I'm majoring on Concentrating in RESPIRATORY THERAPY in four year college, my GPA is around 3.4 and I'm preparing to MCAT test soon. My question to you is how hard it get Medical school with Respiratory Degree.
Real MD said,
Look none of you clowns are getting in so give up. If you dont know what you wanna do, certainly don't be a doctor. If you don't have the motivation and drive of a wild tiger, you won't make it past day one.

Just get good grades and high scores. It's all just memorization…
pre MeD said,
I wish I could erase the crap out of my brain, that i don't need, to make space for all the information I'll need in Med School. Too bad they don't make external brain drives…
Shane M said,
Is it better to have a pre-med degree or something different from everyone else (I.E. Youth Studies and Health Sciences)? And if you can not find a med school that will accept you, what can you do with a pre-med degree? And how vital is it to go to a university compaired to a small college?
Half M.D.: Major doesn't matter. A pre-med degree won't help you with anything other than becoming a lab tech. See here for information on your third question.
Jane K said,
I'm in my Junior year of High School at a college prep school and i have almost a 3.9 GPA. I'm about to take the ACT and i'm currently looking into colleges. For a lot of my life I've wanted to become a pediatrician. Now that i'm actually looking seriously into the difficulty of entering medical school I'm a little hesitant. I know pediatrics is what i'm interested in but i'm afraid i won't be the cream of the crop and make it into medical school. What would you recommend as a major to lead me to medical school? Are there good options with these majors if i don't make it into medical school or will they be a waste of time?
Megan said,
Hi! I'm a sophomore in college right now. I'll be 25 in April, I have five children, and my husband is active duty army. I was wondering how important volunteer work is. As you can imagine with five children (three of which I adopted) and full load (16 hours) it's hard to figure out how I can fit anything else in with school, kids, husband's deployments, pre-med club, etc. I have a 4.0 GPA. Any advice? Is it a really important to have volunteer experience??
Megan said,
Jane K,
I am a chemistry major. I would recommend Chemistry because it includes almost all of your pre-med requirements and if you don't make into medical school it is a very useful degree.

If i received a D+ in an elective math class, will that significantly alter my chances of getting into med school?
Nate said,
Hi, I'm a first year undergraduate in a University in Canada right now. The year is about to end and my estimated GPA is about a 3.0 to a 3.6, most likely a 3.3 or 3.4. Unfortunately, I vastly underestimated first year and used my high school study methods, where I literally did no assigned work, skipped 90% of all my quizzes, procrastinated every assignment and even exam studying only the night prior. When I've finally had an epiphany, I've realized that it's too late for me to pull my GPA back up this year.
Even if I somehow end up with a 4.0 GPA for the next two of my undergraduate years, I will end up with a 3.7ish GPA. I've heard that some med schools have GPA cut offs of 3.85 (especially for medical schools in Canada). I had originally aimed for specifically Cambridge and Chicago's med schools but now I am having major doubts about getting into either. On top of that, my GPA may have hindered my ability to be accepted into a second year research program, further limiting my chances pf being accepted into a medical school.
With all that being said, is there still a chance for me at being accepted into a prominent medical school given that I apply in my third or fourth years as an undergraduate? This given that I aim for at least a 3.9 GPA for my following undergraduate years and an above-average MCAT score.

Mike said,
I have a mcat of 29M with a breakdown of 7V 11P 11S, and a GPA of 3.91
Do I have a chance of getting into medical school with such a low verbal and essay?
Do you recommend I take the MCAT again? I have taken it once before and scored a 26M so I am not sure I can do much better.
Calah said,
So, is it better for a girl to be a doctor or nurse? Nurses make less, for doing the same thing. But, doctors have to go to school for soooo long. Is it worth it? What if u want a family? After you graduate, are doctor and nurses working hours that different, especially if u want a family? Please help as much as you can! Thanks 🙂
Half M.D.: Doctors and nurses most definitely do not do the same thing. You should take some time to actually read up on what their jobs entail.
Phuong said,
Calah, and others,
I think that if you truly wanted to be in the medical field, gender doesn't matter. I rather be a doctor, because they make more, and it seems more fun anyways (BTW I'm a girl). I also thought that being in school to be a doc, you'll get out at 30 years old or something. and that sucks….but i think that most doctors, have families, and most of them meet their loved ones while in school or something. That's what i want to do, i would find a guy i like while in school. And don't give up your dreams, cause my LATIN teacher wanted to be a doctor, but she didn't want all the work cause she was already in a relationship, so she became a teacher instead. NOW, she said she wished she could turn back the clock, and become a doctor, cause it's her dream. She told me "don't get married a/f high school, cause it will hinder your chances." hope that helped anyone reading this…..
Sam said,
I am a double major in Economics/Finance and Management/Marketing. However, I am also trying to take the pre-reqs for medical school. I will have over 160 hours when I graduate in 2 years, and I will have completed these hours in just 4 years. My GPA is currently 3.7, and I plan on keeping it at that level. I go to school year round, and take full courseloads everytime. To what extent will these facts help me get into medical school? Will my application stand out, etc?
sha said,
This site has been really informative, though none of the above seems familiar to my current situation. I am currently involved in research work, mostly cancer and have not chose my masters degree program (as it will be funded under the research grant).The choices I have now are masters degree in molecular biology, physiology, molecular medicine (to name a few)
I had a cgpa of 2.89 for my degree in biomedicine. I was wondering if there was any way that any of the masters degree program listed plus strong MCAT score would make it possible for me to enter med school?And are there any other requirements that I should consider ?
Thanks in advance!
Brittany said,
At this moment I'm having difficulties in deciding my major. I've already completed two years at a community college for my Associates of Science. Initially I made my major in architecture, but this has changed. I really love helping people and learning about the human anatomy. Well right now it's about to be summer and college admissions are closing. What should I do? I'm really looking into practicing medicine, but is it too late? I'm 20 and am graduating with a gpa of 3.5. What university in Texas would you reccomend for studies in medicine? This is not an admittance question, but rather do you get lost in this competiveness for your acceptance into med school? Do you essentially evolve into this maniac that strives to just have the correct amount of points on your gpa and MCAT? I really would like to strive for my goals but not stress my self to the bare end. Do you feel that this may be a career that is worth me striving for? I know you don't know me, but with the little bit of information I have provided, do you believe I would need to be prepared for ultimate stress?
Renee said,
How do med schools calculate gpa? My first 2 years I was at a community college and now I am at a 4-year university. My courses transferred over but when I apply to med school will they look at my gpa from just the 4-year university or the community college as well?
C'mon... said,
Guys, stop it.
HalfMD has already stated the uselessness of plaguing the page with endless requests for assessment of medical school eligibility.
Use your common sense, do some research, and figure it out for yourself. If you can't, then maybe medical school isn't for you.
Understood said,
As a cancer survivor and a current cosmetologist i have recently decided to further my education because i am not being challenged enough anymore. Ive grown bored in this type of beauty industry. So lately i have been thinking about going back to school and going premed. I am very inerested in dermatolgy but realize through reading this that i could change my mind later into it. The more i read about med school and what not the more excited i have become because i have nothing but self confidence and i am really looking forward to being competive and being accepted into med school. I love a good challenge and always put my all into whatever crosses my path and i keep succeeding and this is going to be my next succession.

Kristen said,
Hey everyone! I'm a little concerned about med school. I am taking general chem right now in a four week summer session and its not going so well. By not going so well, I mean I will be kissing my professor's feet if I get a C. It's much more likely that I'm getting worse than a C. I have been a military medic for seven years and worked in the ER and EMS for about eight years. I have a 3.6 GPA, never had a bad grade until now! I am also vice president of a student organization and vice president of an honors society. I am scheduled to take the MCAT in September. I need some honest feedback from people who know, how is this poor chem grade going to affect my chances of getting into medical school? Medicine is my life! I love it more than anything and I would be miserable doing anything else. I'm trying so hard and I can't seem to get a good grade in this class!!! Am I in big trouble?

I want to attend law school and eventually practice in North Carolina. I have been accepted at Wake Forest and Elon so far and hope for an acceptance from UNC as well. After visiting all these schools, Elon seemed like the best place to be. They've also offered me a lot of money. I don't know what to do. I went into my cycle with Elon being my last choice because it is so new. However, after visiting the school I feel like they have much more to offer in regards to actually educating me and preparing me for success. Should I choose a school with long established prestige (and potentially better job prospects), or should I go with a better quality education at a new and exciting institution?I know other people who have turned down offers from UNC and Wake Forest to attend Elon, and they don't regret it. However, they haven't graduated and experienced the market. Then again, Elon's job placement for their class of 2009 was at 90% after 9 months. This is pretty much in line with other schools in the state. UNC and Wake were at about 95%. I don't know what to do. I had always dreamed of going to UNC, but I was so disappointed when I visited and sat in on a class, and spoke with the students and professors. I really liked Wake Forest and Elon. Other schools in NC were a waste of my time, especially Charlotte and Campbell. NCCU wasn't as bad as I thought, I just don't want to live in Durham. Advice anyone?
Elon has professors from some of the top schools in the country.
Where does all the hate for Elon come from? I'm especially skeptical now. But hey, if elon's numbers are misleading..who's to say UNC and Wake's aren't? I think I'm going to go with the money. Elon has professors from some of the top schools in the country. They have offered me way more money, and they seem most willing to aid in the assurance of my success. I feel like it's crazy to pass this up. I want to end up working for myself eventually anyway. I just dont want the debt associated with Wake. If wake was free..I'd probably go there instead. Waitlisted at UNC by the way. Elon it is.
I just got back from an Elon law visit. I also felt that they would provide a top notch quality education. Every bit as impressive /or more so than some tier 1's I've visited. Being a newer school they are extremely interested in the success of their students and building a reputation. I will be graduating from Villanova in May. I am accepted at Elon but have a few more visits to make before I decide. I don't feel like I would be comprising by attending Elon, they have an impressive program! I am waiting to hear on schlorship money. It seems to be against popular opinion but I to0 say "Show me the Money", I know I have what it takes to me successful!and I'd rather not have the debt!!

Readers who have an ADB model of the TelePort modem from Global Village Communication and are about to install one of Global Village's newer serial modems (the TelePort/Silver or TelePort/Gold) should be aware of problems with using both modems with one Macintosh.
The first problem occurs when you install the TelePort serial software - the installer erases the TelePort ADB software during installation. (This caused extra confusion because I had received my latest software update electronically and didn't have a copy on disk!) The second problem appears when you boot the Macintosh and find that the ADB and Serial Control Panels each refuse to load if the other is present.
A Global Village representative quickly responded to an email query about the issue (a good indication of their highly-responsive level of support), and said a fix is being prepared for a future software release. In the meantime, if you need to use both modems from the same Mac, you should use the ADB TelePort's software normally, and use the serial TelePort as a standard modem with no software. This means you'll be able to send and receive faxes only from the ADB modem.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The UCSB softball team (6-11) closed action at the Gaucho Classic I on Sunday by splitting a pair of games at Campus Diamond. The Gauchos downed Nevada (4-11), 8-1, in their morning game before falling to San Diego (4-6), 5-1, in the tournament finale.
A big first inning helped propel the Gauchos to their fifth-straight win in the early game against Nevada. Junior Jessica Soria got things started for UCSB with a leadoff single to left field and she was able to grab a couple extra bases on the play when the Wolfpack leftfielder struggled to field the ball. An infield single from sophomore McKenzie Kane followed and she also benefitted from a Nevada error, advancing to second.
Sophomore Lauren Boser drove in the first Gaucho run when she grounded out to second base. Senior Lainey DePompa promptly followed with a two-run homer hit high over the left field fence, pushing the UCSB lead to 3-0.
The Gaucho onslaught continued as sophomore Kathryn Pilpil sent a single up the middle and junior Keilani Jennings doubled down the left field line.
The Nevada coaching staff decided to make a pitching change, switching out starter Bailey Brewer for Karlyn Jones. The latter allowed two consecutive RBI singles by freshman Shelby Wisdom and senior Brooke Putich before earning the third out with a strikeout. When all the damage was done, UCSB led, 5-0.
In the second with two outs, Pilpil hit a ground ball past diving shortstop Karley Hopkins and into left center field, driving Kane home for her second run of the game. Kane had reached on a walk and then stole second one out prior.
Trailing by six early, Nevada – which was the designated home team – countered at the bottom of the second. Megan Fincher led off with a line drive to left field and Ashley Butera followed with a ground ball hit through the left side.
UCSB pitcher Wisdom was able to earn the first two outs, but she hit Chelsea Barilli in the knee with a full count, loading the bases. Karley Hopkins earned the bases-loaded walk to send home what would be the lone Wolfpack run of the day.
In the third, Putich tallied the second of her three hits with a single to shallow right field hit off of the first pitch. Soria followed with a fly ball that landed in shallow left field between the third baseman and left fielder to put two runners on with no outs. Kane moved both runners into scoring position with a ground out to second base before a fielding error by the third baseman on a pick off attempt allowed Putich ample time to cross home plate.
With a 7-1 lead at the top of the seventh, UCSB was able to tack on one more run. Wisdom hit a one-out single to center field and moved to second on Putich's third hit: a ground ball sent up the middle of the field. Both runners were moved a base by Soria, who grounded out to second base. Senior Allison Taylor then came in to pinch hit and sent a soft pop up to the pitcher. Jones failed to make the easy catch, allowing Wisdom to come home.
Offensively, five Gauchos had multiple hits during the game, including Putich, who went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI.
In the circle, Wisdom (4-4) pitched the complete game and allowed just one earned run on seven hits. She walked two and struck out nine.
During the tournament closer against San Diego, the two teams battled through four and a half scoreless innings until the Gauchos were able to put up the first run.
In the bottom of the fifth, Putich led off with her fourth hit of the day, expertly placed in the gap in shallow left center field. Soria bunted her teammate over during the next at-bat and Kane's tapped single to the pitcher put runners on the corners. Pilpil sent Putich home with a ground out to second base, giving UCSB a 1-0 advantage.
The Toreros battled back at the top of the next inning when they put two runners on with no outs off of a base hit and a Gaucho error. A double to left field by pinch hitter Katie Emerson scored Jessica Tieszen to tie the game.
UCSB brought Wisdom in to relieve Andriana Collins in the circle, but the freshman was not able to squelch the San Diego rally. Chelsea Kamai drove home another run with a base hit to center field and one out later, Kylie Ordos hit a three-run homer over the left field fence.
The Gauchos were able to get two runners on via walks with no outs in the sixth inning, but both runners were left stranded and UCSB continued to trail, 5-1.
Putich gave Gaucho fans hope in the seventh as she led off with yet another base hit, but a pop fly and fielder's choice quickly brought UCSB to two outs. Pilpil was able to extend the inning when she reached first following an overthrow by the pitcher to first base, but the rally never materialized as USD got the final out and the win.
Putich once again led the way, going 2-for-3 at the plate with a run scored.
Andriana Collins (2-7) suffered the loss after allowing three runs – two earned – on seven hits. She struck out one in five innings of work. Wisdom allowed two runs on three hits in two innings of relief work while striking out three.
The Gauchos finished the tournament with a 5-1 record, besting UNLV (3-2), San Diego (2-3), Houston (2-3) and Nevada (1-4).
UCSB will hit the road – or more accurately the air – later this week when they travel to Oahu for the Hawaii Invitational. The Gauchos will open tournament play against Florida State on Friday, Mar. 2.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Times-Call's series Take Two revisits people we have written about in the past year. Take Two stories will run on Mondays.
LONGMONT -- Burch Lake may be short on water, but it's long on big, ugly fish.
Last summer, Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced it would use the Longmont lake to breed muskellunge, a first step toward giving the state its own tiger muskie population. Since that announcement, about 1,800 muskellunge have been put into Burch, with another 2,000 to be added this year.
More important than what's gone in, though, is what hasn't come out. So far, no one's tried to poach the newcomers.
"The local wildlife officer, Jason Deutsch, has not had a single incidence," said Ben Swigle, an aquatic biologist for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. "Hopefully, most people appreciate what we are trying to accomplish on a statewide basis."
What Colorado wants are tiger muskies, a sterile cross between muskellunge and northern pike. The state's usually bought its tiger muskie supply from Pennsylvania, but that's not been possible for about five years because of a disease in the brood stock. Hence, the grow-your-own approach -- and the reason for using Burch Lake, a body of water that's off-limits to public fishing and has a lot of watchful neighbors nearby.
It's also a body of water that's likely to hold up well even in drought conditions, Swigle said, thanks to the priority held by its owner, the Oligarchy Ditch Co.
"This will be a trying time this year with the snowpack at 40 percent below normal," he said. "But Burch Lake has a senior water right, which means they are first to fill and last to empty."
As a side note, it won't be emptying muskellunge. Screens on the lake keep the Iowa-bred fish from leaving.
The lake is currently 63 percent full and has a depth of 21 feet. (When it's full, the depth reaches 28 feet.)
The females from the lake will be crossed with northern pike at an offsite hatchery in about three years, Swigle said, with their offspring then stocked throughout the state. Since one muskellunge female can produce 20,000 eggs for every two pounds of body weight, the wildlife division should only have to catch one or two in a season to satisfy the statewide demand.
It's the first time Colorado's tried this, Swigle emphasized. The state may have a lot of work ahead. But so far, things are off to a good start.
"The ditch company ... has been absolutely incredible in their assistance to help this program," Swigle said.

Kenya policeman killed, 11 injured in church attack
A grenade attack on a church in a police compound in eastern Kenya has killed one police officer and injured at least 11 other people, reports say.
The man who died was serving as pastor of the targeted church, in Garissa town near the border with Somalia.
Most of the wounded are also reported to be police officers; some of whom were airlifted to hospital in Nairobi.
In July, 15 people were killed in raids on churches in Garissa, and suspicion fell on the al-Shabab militant group.
Police blamed the Somalia-based group and its sympathisers for the attack, and said they were angry over Kenya's role in a UN-backed intervention force.
Kenya's capital Nairobi and the port city of Mombasa have suffered a series of grenade attacks since Kenya sent troops into Somalia last October.
Witnesses were quoted as saying that the grenade in Sunday's attack was thrown from outside the compound, and landed on the iron-sheeted roof of the church while the officers and their families were inside attending a prayer session.
"It is believed to be a motor thrown or a grenade because it penetrated the roof before landing within the crowd. There is confusion," one police officer at the scene was quoted by Kenya's The Standard as saying.
Gunfire was also reportedly heard at the scene of the explosion.
Kenya's Red Cross said 11 wounded people were taken to hospital in Garissa, with three evacuated by air to Nairobi for further treatment.
Regional police chief Philip Tuimur said a major operation was under way to track down the attackers.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicion will once again fall on al-Shabab.
In September, one child was killed and three seriously injured in a grenade attack on a church in Nairobi.
A mob later rounded on Somalis living near the church, injuring 13 people with sticks and stones.

The food giant — whose biggest segments are beef, chicken and pork (in that order) — was last up about 6% in the wake of M&A news.
A story that MarketWatch has on the deal activity says:
"Tyson Foods Inc. has jumped in on the deals frenzy centered around Hillshire Brands Co., offering to buy the maker of Jimmy Dean sausage and Ball Park hot dogs for about $6.1 billion.
The offer comes just two days after Pilgrim's Pride Corp. unveiled an unsolicited bid for Hillshire worth about $5.5 billion."

The S&P 500 "remains in a bullish position and has established several levels of important support," writes Sam Stovall, equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, in a note late Wednesday.
"These levels are well defined at 1876, and extend down to the 1850 area, which was the January high and where the late April pullback found support from which it initiated its choppy recovery. So long as these levels of support remain intact, and the ascending trend channel remains in force, we remain bullish and anticipate further gains."
But Stovall does see some things to worry about:
"However, one fly in the bullish ointment is breadth, which does not yet support this advance to new highs by the S&P 500 and remains in a state of caution/warning."

Another worry, according to Stovall, is abnormally low VIX.
One "can't help but wonder if the abnormally low VIX is reminiscent of an excessively low tide that typically precedes a tsunami."
But he basically sounds a bullish note on U.S. stocks in his latest missive:
"In all, while uncertainties caution against excessive exposure, we will let the trend remain our friend."

- Summer crash of 2011 in 2014?
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
Today's market reminds me of the precursors to the Summer Crash of 2011, which for me personally and professionally was the call that started it all, writes Michael Gayed, chief investment strategist and co-portfolio manager at Pension Partners LLC.
In the June 8, 2011, piece titled " The Summer Crash of 2011, or the Great Re-Adjustment " I noted the significant strength of defensive sectors relative to the stock market at the time, and argued a major move down was coming for equities.
My reasoning then was simple. The magnitude of outperformance in dividend/bond-like sectors was warning of a deflation pulse to come, which equities utterly ignored prior to the August collapse. More so than that, though, the ratio of Treasurys to the S&P 500 did not act with the same level of leadership as defensive sectors did.

Market watchers on Twitter sound impressed about the S&P 500's rally into the closing bell.
And the benchmark finished at 1920, so some are joking about 1929, given all that thoroughly debunked 1929 meme.
Phenomenal close today. Does it feel like the $SPX can stretch to 2000? #stocks #spx

Can't wait for all the waggery that's sure to greet the S&P's approach of 1929. $SPX

BogoMIPS used to be the infamous, prestigious benchmark for Linux machines over a decade. Unfortunately - or fortunately - depending of point of view - the BogoMIPS number of the favorite machine BogoMIPS have little to nothing to do with actual processor performance. Certain other microarchectural details will also very overproprotionally influence the benchmark. On the other side memory performance, I/O performance, cache size and speed and many other processor and system architecture feature that make a crucial difference for system performance will not influence BogoMIPS at all. The BogoMIPS number for any given processor architecture is basically proportional to the clock rate. On most processor architectures the BogoMIPS loop is compiled into just two instructions. Accordingly small is the aspects of a processor that are actually tested. And processors again are just a small part of an overall system which includes other hardware and software. To show the actual code on MIPS:
.set noreorder loop: bnez $reg, loop subu $reg, 1 .set reorder"
A typical modern machine with efficient branches or branch prediction can execute this loop at a rate of one instruction per cycle. Out of Order Execution which provides roughly a 50% speedup on real workloads provides no benefit. Not even second level caches or memory subsystems are exercised. The more surprising it is that BogoMIPS have become a benchmark for performance as important as extra inches in spam email. Having been a permanent annoynce over the years due to miss-interpretation by users and due to excessive output on multiprocessor machines Linux by default will no longer print the BogoMIPS number since 2.6.9-rc2.
The purpose of the BogoMIPS benchmark is to calibrate internal delay loops which are used for very short delays or in situations where a process can't sleep. This is done by calling the mdelay(), udelay() and ndelay() functions which take the time to delay as the argument in units of milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds, respectivly.

PyTyle is a tiling manager that works with EWMH-compliant window managers (like Openbox and KWin) to provide functions for tiling windows. Both Xmonad and Musca have influenced the feature set.
PyTyle is currently not available from the Arch official repositories.
- PyTyle — An automatic tiler that is compatible with Openbox Multihead
- http://pytyle.com/ || pytyleAUR
- PyTyle2 — Auto/manual on-demand tiling manager that fits in any EWMH compatible window manager.
- http://pytyle.com/ || pytyle2-hgAUR
- PyTyle3 — An automatic tiler that is compatible with Openbox Multihead with faster action and lower memory footprint.
After installation, PyTyle can be run simply by entering this into the terminal:
Alternatively, if you want to run PyTyle2 or PyTyle3, you would run
After that, simply press Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress(default keybind).
- PyTyle2
After you have started PyTyle for the first time, a new configuration directory should appear in your
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory (usually ~/.config/) called pytyle2. Inside this directory is config.ini. All of the configuration options are stored there.
- PyTyle3
You need to create pytyle3 directory in your
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory and the configs in
/etc/xdg/pytyle3/ can be a base of your custom configuration.
All these configuration are in Python2, it is easy to understand and to edit.
But if you make any gramma error or something like that, it will cause pytyle3 fail to start with a backtrace.
Gaps between terminals
Depending on your window manager, some gaps may appear between the windows when a terminal is launched. This is due to the imposed size of some terminal emulators. Using Urxvt, install the patched package rxvt-unicode-noinc from the AUR. Using Terminator, disable the "Window Geometry Hint" checkbox in the main options.

"A lot of kids his age are out partying and drinking and such, but Harry
isn't like that," said his mother Diana Hart. "For him and TJ
Wilson and other friends, their life really is wrestling. They spend
hours studying tapes; Harry's bedroom is virtually all tapes."
"It's the most important thing in my life. I don't have the time, energy
or desire to get involved with partying and such," said Harry.
Athletically, Harry has the tools to succeed. The 6-foot5, 220-pound
star wrestles for Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, working with and
learning from some of the best talent on the independent scene. His
athletic pedigree dates back to his namesake. His maternal
great-grandfather "Handsome" Harry Smith was a track athlete. Add to
that the legacy of the Hart Family, Smith has big boots to fill.
"I want to make them proud -- Matt, Owen, my Grandmother, my Dad, I know
they are watching me and cheering me on."
"I see so much of Davey in Harry's wrestling style, it's scary
sometimes," said Diana. He grew up wrestling daily with Ted Hart and TJ
Wilson, but unlike those high flyers, his style is much more
"I use a lot of mat wrestling and power moves like suplexes and such. I
don't do much flying." Harry often pays tribute to his Dad by beating
opponents with the trademark running powerslam. He also enjoys using Ted
Dibiase's version off of the ropes, citing "The Million Dollar Man"
as another major influence.
Both Harry and his father were subject of a story on ESPN.com that
raised a few eyebrows. Discussing mostly his father's drug abuse and its
contribution to his death in May 2002, it ended with Harry being quoted,
"I hope to be as big as him someday."
"I knew what he was trying to do, and I was being careful about what I
said. The last day he was here he asked me 'Do you want to be as big of
a star as your father was.' That was my response. But of course, he took
it completely out of context and made it sound like I wanted to be as
big physically as him." Since the story was largely about Davey's
steroid abuse to be big, many fans were concerned that Harry may take
the same path.
"I've never taken steroids, I don't plan to. I loved my Dad, and yes he
made mistakes, but I have learned from them. I won't go down that path."
Harry has had a great life thanks in part to wrestling. He has been all
over the world, and attended a number of Wrestlemanias.
"I've been to 3, 8, 7, 11, 12, and 19. I thought this past year's was
the best one that I have been to live out of all of them. I really
enjoyed going to the shows, especially with my Dad."
He was there live with 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium for SummerSlam
1992 to witness his dad facing Bret Hart for the Intercontinental
championship in a match many still consider to be one of the best ever.
"We were way up high in the nosebleeds, so they were just specks in the
ring. The bell rang and I didn't know who had won, but then they played
Dad's music and I could see him with the belt. I started jumping up and
down I was so happy. He hadn't told me he was going to win the belt, so
it made it that much more special to see."
There have been a number of books written on the Hart Family in the past
few years. The books all chronicle how when growing up the 12 Hart
children were often harassed and teased about Stu being a wrestler and
had to defend themselves on the playground in scraps. Smith hasn't had
the same pressures of having a famous Dad simply because he doesn't
mention it.
"They don't know at school that I wrestle or that my Dad was a wrestler.
I don't make a big deal out of it, so I haven't really been teased
growing up like my Mom and her family were."
The future looks bright for Smith. Many experts feel that the day he
graduates high school he will have a WWE contract in his hand, but Smith
would like to gain some more international experience before going
"I'd like to join TJ Wilson in Japan. He talks so highly about going
there, and my dad wrestled there, so I definitely want to experience
that." In the meantime, Smith continues to wrestle for Stampede
"There is so much talent here, I learn every match. Guys like Johnny
Devine, Apocalypse, Dave Swift, Jason Carter, Ted & TJ, and so many
others are just fantastic to wrestle."
Also listed on Harry's resume is a tag match against Black Dragon and AJ
Styles a few weeks before Styles won the NWA championship, as well as a
match on a Matrats show against Rene
Dupre, now one half of the RAW Brand tag champions La Resistance.
There are a lot of similarities between the two men. Dupre is a
second-generation wrestler from New Brunswick, and also started
wrestling at a young age.
"Rene is a nice guy. I'm glad to see he made it to the WWE and I hope he
succeeds there."
Stampede fans have witnessed Harry in many great matches against a wide
variety of talent. But for him, two matches stand out as his favorite.
"I teamed with my Dad for a couple of matches for Top Rope Championship
Wrestling in Manitoba about a week before he died. That was my favorite
match, for obvious reasons," he said.
Part of the appeal in Harry is his sense of humor; he is quickly
becoming as expert a practical joker as his father and uncle Owen were,
and he is a down-to-earth personality. Davey was well liked by wrestlers
for his sense of humor and was always approachable for fans. These
qualities Harry embodies, and will continue to do so as he continues
down the path to fame.
"Wrestling is my life. This is what I do, but I won't get a big head
about it. I just want to continue to do well and make my family and
friends proud."

Jason Clevett has known Harry Smith since he was 10 and is amazed at
how tall the runt has become. He lives in Calgary and regularly cheers

every two weeks. He can be emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hello once again readers and lovers of all things wrestling. Sitting at the
Devine computer recovering from hernia surgery and filling your lives once again
with some Devine Inspiration.
The road to recovery is one of the most frustrating and agonizing things in a
wrestler's or athlete's life. There is nothing more painful than sitting on the
sidelines while your friends and comrades continue to do the thing that you
love more than anything else in the world.
What can make this all the more
frustrating or painful is not having any support while you are laid up. And by
that I mean support in the way of family and friends around you to help "lighten
the load" or make you smile. So at this time I want to show love for all of you
who have sent well wishes and emails and phone calls of support and get wells.
They have really been helpful in keeping the spirits up and focusing my energy
in positive places. With all your support you will see me back in the ring and
on TV sooner than later and I thank you all for that. They say the measure of a
man is not how he fares while on top, but how he carries himself when he's been
knocked to the bottom. I promise I will be worthy of your support and aid.
I am going to do some shilling this week as there are a couple things I think
wrestling fans in general need to know about and should support, so I apologize
if you thought this week's Intervention was going to be deep and all but ... sorry,
I'm about as deep as a thimble so that ain't happening! :D
First off, on February 21st, www.warrior1wrestling.com will have available a great
double DVD set of their inaugural event from last summer in Oshawa featuring
Mick Foley, Raven, Samoa Joe, Kid Kash, Jimmy Hart, Kamala, American Dragon,
Chris Sabin, Gail Kim and of course Team Canada in all its glory. There are 10
matches and a ridiculous amount of wrestlers, but for me this is a must grab for
the extras:
For those of you who are TNA fans and may not have heard, TNA may be getting a
primetime slot either Mondays or Thursdays on Spike! This is fantastic news and
a great boost for the company. There has been a bit of talk though as to whether
Monday (TNA's choice) or Thursday (Spike's choice to lead into UFC) would be
better. But in truth I think the more important question is not Monday or
Thursday but the question of 60 or 90 minutes!! I hope and pray that TNA gets a
90-minute platform to showcase their already under-used talent.
Think of it: Longer matches. More of them! Better opportunity to compete on a national level
with WWE for a share of the wrestling market. And More Team Canada!! What more
could you ask for!?
I urge TNA fans and wrestling fans in general to email Spike and help push them in a 90-minute direction. With enough fan support anything can happen. The fans brought back Family Guy, so why couldn't we get a 90-minute TNA show? Do your part people.
And last, but not least, being laid up and unable to hit the ring I will be spending a huge amount of time at the AWE training center here in Winnipeg over the next couple months so anyone interested in training, learning some new stuff or just chipping off the rust, if you're looking to train get a hold of me at email@example.com and we'll put something together for you to help out of get you started. Again as always feedback and questions can also be sent to the addy above. Take care everyone and Stay Hot!
EDITOR'S NOTE: "Hotshot" Johnny Devine's column will run on Saturdays (or whenever he delivers) on SLAM! Wrestling. Be sure to visit each week! For more on Devine's career, see his biography in our Canadian Hall of Fame.

Department of Education Approves 9 Charter Schools to Open in September
New "Performance Frameworks" Will Help Department Continue Improvement of Oversight and Accountability for Charter Schools
|For Immediate Release
|Contact: Barbara Morgan
Rich Vespucci
|Date: July 16, 2012
Trenton, NJ – Demonstrating the Christie Administration's strong support for increasing the number of high-quality school options for New Jersey students, the Department today approved 9 charter schools to open in September, bringing the total number of charter schools in New Jersey to 86. In addition, the Department continues to improve oversight and accountability for charter schools by instituting new Performance Frameworks that will set clear expectations for charter school performance and will serve as the basis for school evaluation, monitoring, and intervention.
"We are deeply committed to ensuring that every student in New Jersey has access to a high-quality public school option that is a good fit for them, no matter whether that is a district, charter, magnet, or vocational school," said Acting Commissioner Chris Cerf. "We are confident that the charter schools we approved today will provide great options for the children of New Jersey."
As part of the annual charter authorizing process, the Department of Education conducts a "preparedness review" to evaluate whether a charter applicant approved in a previous round has the academic and operational capacity in place to offer a strong educational program. Applicants are required to submit documentation of compliance with state regulations to the Department—this year by June 30—and department staff conduct a site visit of the school facility. The Commissioner and Department staff then review this information to determine which applicants will receive their final charter to open their doors in September.
"We must hold a high bar for any school that serves New Jersey students, and we are confident that these schools have the academic and operational components in place to provide a high-quality choice on day one," said Acting Commissioner Cerf.
The Performance Framework for all new charter schools announced today will set clear expectations for schools and will evaluate them in three areas: whether the school is an academic success; whether the school is financially viable; and whether the school is equitable and organizationally sound. The Department will introduce a Performance Framework for all existing charter schools by the end of the summer.
This Framework will help to define charter school success and create a comprehensive and systemic review process for all charter schools. Schools will be assessed in a number of areas, such as how the school compares to similar "peer" schools; progress of individual subgroups of students and the school as a whole over time; whether the school is financially healthy and sustainable; whether the school has equitable admissions and enrollment practices to serve all students; and whether the school offers a safe and structured learning environment.
Through a partnership with the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) over the past two years, the Department has increased its oversight and accountability for charter schools. During that time the Department has opened 18 new schools, closed 5 schools for poor academic performance or organizational and fiscal issues, and put another 13 schools on probation.
"According to data over the past several years, charter schools on average across the state are outperforming other district options for students in high-need communities. However, we must also be honest that just as some district schools are failing students, some charter schools in New Jersey are also not performing at the level their students deserve," said Acting Commissioner Cerf. "Charter schools are granted autonomy in exchange for accountability, and we at the state level will continue to hold all charter schools accountable for results to ensure that they offer all students a high-quality education and an equality of opportunity."
The new Performance Framework can be found here: http://www.nj.gov/education/chartsch/PerformanceFramework.pdf
In addition to the 9 schools that are opening, another 13 schools were granted a planning year during which those schools will continue to develop the academic and operational components of the school, which are crucial to ensuring that it will be successful when it opens the following year. Another 10 schools were not granted a planning year and will not receive a final charter because they failed to demonstrate sufficient progress towards readiness.
The list of schools and their final status is as follows:
|Charter Schools Granted Final Approval

Recently I had the opportunity to listen to Ten Minute Detour 's sophomore album Common Pleasure and ask lead man, Andrew Shier about the band, their recording process, their musical influences, the new album, and many numerical, and space, based questions. Dig in!Ten Minute Detour
Thank you for taking the time to answer questions today!
Congratulations on the newest release! Common Pleasure is a sonically rich record!
Reflecting on the hundreds of shows you have played over the last few years, as you make your way to perform for 2018's Canadian Music Week at the Junction City Music Hall on May 09 th , what stands out as a favourite performance or tour highlight?
I think one of the coolest shows for us was playing the Coke Stage at the Calgary Stampede. It was one of our first outdoor shows, in our hometown, so it was a much different vibe than playing in a club. It was also a blistering 35 degrees and sunny – I never realized how hard it is to see the lights on your pedal board when the sun is shining. Live and learn I guess.
The new album Common Pleasure is wonderfully recorded and produced, with clear distinct levels, and creative tone choices, between the vocals, instruments and percussion. What was it like working with producer Lincoln Parish (formerly of Cage the Elephant) and recording in historic music city Nashville?
Lincoln has a very calming presence, in that he trusts us as musicians to play the songs and he doesn't get too picky about arrangement or tones. When he hears something he wants to change, he'll bring it up but ultimately the decision is up to the room. His whole thing is capturing the energy in the room first, then we can discuss icing the cake afterwards.
Nashville has been awesome to us, so much so that one of the songs on our album, 'Nashville Geographic', is about our trip down to meet Lincoln a year prior. It's a very welcoming city, not too big, but still, this awesome energy to it, being so entrenched historically in music. We were also lucky enough to stay in this log cabin in the woods just outside of the city, so we were able to unwind after every session and leave everything in the studio.
What was the inspiration behind the title of the album Common Pleasure ?
We were looking for album names that capture the album as a whole and weren't getting anywhere. So we looked at lyrics and one of the lines in 'Taste' is "This is the age of common pleasure". That stood out as a name, and I think it speaks to the album and its accessibility. There are some heavier songs in 'Poli Shore' and 'One for you, One for me', a southern rock style ballad in 'McNally's', a sort of retro vibe in 'Betty'. There's really something for everyone.
A prevailing theory now claims that the female orgasm is not a side effect, but a leftover. That theory goes something like this: Intercourse used to trigger hormones that not only led to orgasm, but also ovulation, meaning it once may have actually played an important role in reproduction, but that some members of the species might have lost the ability to do from intercourse. (Thus the explanation for the fact that only 18 percent of women today can orgasm from penetrative sex.)
But since most women don't have orgasms during intercourse these days, much less at the same time a man is ejaculating, this doesn't really explain it. What's more, there's an orgasm gap in general to prove men don't get women off as often as they get to blow their load.
So you'd think we'd all conclude that there would be nothing more efficient and pragmatic and correct for women to go to town to give themselves the only orgasms they are likely to get. But thanks to stuffy Victorian ideals about female nature, we somehow got the idea that women didn't naturally feel any real sexual desire at all. Those who did
Jambu Canary qcepH7Wv
. Those women were sent to doctors for pelvic massage to relieve their hysteria. Dildos were around in Ancient Greece and Egypt, but we don't get a vibrator until the 1900s, when those pelvic masseuses realize that the job could be a lot easier.
All this is why it's taken women so long to embrace and proudly proclaim their own sexual desire that exists only for them and not for others. The recent short film, Yes, God, Yes , from Obvious Child director Karen Maine, took this on to brilliant effect, showing that teen girls are in fact, horny and curious about sex. And what's more, this happens to them long before pairing up with a sexual partner. Which can only mean one thing: masturbation. But it's not just embracing desire that matters. It's their right to an orgasm at all, and especially their right to give it to themselves and not depend on a partner to provide it (or worse, go without). In contrast, men don't seem to have the same hangups about checking a stroke session off their to-do list.
Numerous forums and websites address the question, sometimes from men, of why certain women

. They are often told that the woman probably Naturalizer Wynnie Wide Calf 1YUgL
. But the reasons for not admitting it are coincidentally the same reasons some women say they don't actually do it — shame, lack of interest, embarrassment, or not knowing how.
Still, we should continue to promote masturbation as good and healthy, and also take these women at their word. Some women do masturbate. Some women don't. Women who really don't, and really don't want to, and "
Charlotte Olympia Erroll iqlx4b8mL
," or are otherwise satisfied with their sexual interest, don't need to. They shouldn't be ashamed of that, or feel as if they've missed the liberation boat that leads to only one place: Jerk-Off City.

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Scooby Doo)
Scooby-Doo is a long-running American animated cartoon produced from 1969 to the present. The format, cast and artistic style of the show has been altered dramatically over the years; however most - if not all - of the shows contain the protagonist, a Great Dane named Scoobert "Scooby" Doo, and an array of human characters, prominently Scooby's best friend Norville "Shaggy" Rodgers. The show contains a number of anthropomorphic animals, primarily dogs.
Main characters[edit]
- Scooby-Doo is a brown Great Dane with black spots and a large appetite, particularly for Scooby Snacks. He can talk, however can have difficulty speaking and usually begins words with an "R" sound. Scooby primarily walks on all-fours (a quadruped) however has shown the ability to walk upright with ease (a biped).
- Scrappy-Doo, Scooby-Doo's younger nephew, is a headstrong puppy who regularly wants to engage the villains they encounter in a fight, only to be pulled away by his uncle and Shaggy. Unlike Scooby, Scrappy can talk without hindrance.
- Scooby-Dum is a grey Great Dane and cousin to Scooby-Doo. He is dim-witted dog who longs to be a detective.

Oh, no, not again. It's nearing the time for year-end lists and hearing from various guilds and groups to create a vague consensus over the best of this year's movies. (And music and restaurants and people and TV and everything.)
More than many of those other media, with the movies this often means the onset of a collective amnesia as if nothing happened before September or so. Yet as always, one could easily come up with an extremely credible and exciting list of the year's best from the earlier parts of the year.

Sen. Chuck Schumer promised the Senate would pass a budget that includes tax reforms this year on NBC's Meet the Press. "First, it's not true that we haven't had budget control in effect the last several years. The budget control act of 2011 put in rigid spending cuts," Schumer said, defending their track record. (Republicans like to claim Democrats haven't passed a budget in years.) "We're going to do a budget this year, and it's going to have revenues in it," Schumer promised. "And our Republican colleagues better get used to that fact." Schumer said he's spoken with the top Senate Democratic leaders, and he's promising their budget will take on sequestration and tax reform. "It's going to be a great opportunity for us because in our budget that we will pass, we will have tax reform…It's going to include revenues," Schumer said.

Great article HERE
Obviously, the much bigger issue is that Liza Long is not Adam Lanza's mom. The similarity begins and ends with the having of mentally ill sons. That's all we know, and it's dangerous to assume more than that. We can't lump all people with mental illness together into one big "crazy" pot, it stigmatizes the ill and disconnects us, as a society, from their humanity.Sometimes it's a chicken and the egg kind of thing, and this is definitely one of those areas. However, one of the ends really sticks out like a sore thumb on this one. The SIZE of the damage could have been much smaller.

The cost of a free society and freedom of speech is that people will get offended. Society and its institutions, including colleges and universities, have a right to condemn such speech but no a legal write for action that could be punitive.
Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), talked about his organization's work on college campuses protecting free speech during a presentation Wednesday night.
He cited speech codes, sexual harassment codes, and social conscience codes as frequent problem areas. FIRE does not legally challenge colleges where violations of free speech may occur; instead it exposes the incidents through the press.
"As bad as it is to tell people what they can't say, it's much, much worse to tell them what they must believe," Lukianoff said. "It comes from the left, right and the center."
FIRE rated 328 colleges and universities for the 2005-2006 school year on free speech issues. The organization found 229 schools a 'red light' school, or one which had rules which were 'laughably unconstitutional.' Another 91 schools were rated yellow with rules that were 'just about laughably unconstitutional." Eight schools earned a green light for not having such guidelines.
Wabash College was not in this year's rating but had previously received a red light because of wording in the school's sexual harassment policy regarding derogatory remarks. He explained sexual harassment is a pattern of behavior governed by legal statute, but "it gets trivialized" by people who are easily offended.
"Every time a harassment code has been challenged by a student at a university, it gets overturned," he asserted. "Universities can condemn people who say foolish things but they shouldn't be kicking people out for it. They should be exposing it."
FIRE is a not-for-profit group formed in 1999 to monitor college campus freedom of speech.
"Offending someone isn't protected, part of being in a free society is you have to have a little toughness and be able to take a little bit," Tyler Gibson '08 said. Gibson is a member of The Commentary staff, the event's sponsor.
"I think we practice freedom of speech in the classroom a lot," Gibson said. "We get in a classroom discussion and I may be offended but also I'm guaranteed I may offend somebody else and their views.
"There is always the threat someone could try to limit that, 'don't say this, don't say that.' Then it gets tricky."
