Kanye West Gossip
Kanye West gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Boy Sh-t, with Justin Timberlake and Kanye West
Theo Wargo/ Getty
Click here for Part 1 of Boy Sh-t, featuring Justin Timberlake and Kanye West...over Jay-Z, because they both want to be BFFs for him. In short, Kanye insulted JT's Suit & Tie in a freestyle, and then JT changed the lyrics to Suit & Tie to answer back. Full Story
JT, Jay, and Kanye: a BFF triangle
Wenn, Splash
But first, Justin Timberlake on his 5th time hosting Saturday Night Live. I mean...it never sucks. You can tell he's worked. He's put in the work. Especially in those increasingly tiresome "Liquor-ville/Vegan-ville/Whatever-ville" sketches. He is WORKING there. And I appreciate that. Full Story
Kanye West just posted this photo on Twitter with "FAM" as the caption. FAM = Beyonce, Jay-Z, and his girlfriend...? The suggestion, obviously, is that in spite of the obvious MEGA A List status of the Carters, and the decidedly low-rent status of his future baby mother, and speculation that Beysus must be disgusted by his choice, given that she, presumably, prefers the company of Gwyneth Paltrow, they must all get on well, and are close. Full Story
Slum Love at Paris Fashion Week
KCS / Splash News, Pascal Le Segretain, MARTIN BUREAU /Getty
Look at this fool in the front row at Chanel DURING THE PRESENTATION. With his shades on. Like he's a main event, instead of the slum lover of a main event who happens to have really, REALLY bad taste. If you're Casper Smart and even Kanye West isn't wearing sunglasses, do you keep yours on? F-cking loser. Full Story
Baby Blue and a braided bun
It's the Blue Ivy Carter and her mother Beyonce in New York today. Look at Blue's hair! All of that hair! And it's her own hair. For now. Blue's ma, as you know, hasn't been seen with her own hair in many, many years. (Ever?) Right now, as you can see, Beyonce's working a new braided weave. Full Story
Photo Assumption: Beyonce & Kanye West's girlfriend
Ok but how f-cking cute were Beyonce and Jay-Z last night at the BET Awards? (I actually watched a 2 minute news reel today narrated by a British newscaster who called it the "bet", as in rhymes with "met", awards. Jesus!) B and J went head to head in the Video Of The Year category and Jamie Foxx alluded to it getting a little testy up in the private jet. Full Story
Let's just get this over with
I want to believe this was what Beyonce was thinking the other night in Birmingham, England watching the throne. That out of obligation she allowed Kanye West's girlfriend to be in her presence. That she agreed to eat it for a photo op so as to kill the speculation and that immediately afterwards she went back to freezing her out. Full Story
The As IF Of All Time
I'm not posting the new cover of Us Weekly. Because I don't think I've ever posted a photo of Kim Kardashian on my site and this must continue. Besides, this story isn't really about her. It's about Kanye West who, apparently, is now in love with her. Full Story
Best of 2011: Little Rider Cockblocks Everyone
It was the MTV VMAs. The night was supposed to belong to Britney as the recipient of the Video Vanguard Award. And then Beyonce's baby came along and cockblocked everyone...with a mic drop.Please.I wanted to chest bump Jacek but he really doesn't appreciate a great famewhore the way I do. Can you imagine the Year in Gossip without Watching Beyonce's Throne? Dull. Full Story
Men love Kanye, Ryan, no Hamm?
"Top" lists to me are weird. Some names on the lists I totally, totally understand. Others... ???Askmen.com has announced its annual Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2011 list. Steve Jobs is #1. Completely. Sure. Seal Team Six is #2. Fine. Then Larry Page and Warren Buffett which, HUH? to them being back to back, right?The only celebrity male to make the top 5?Kanye West. Full Story
No one was hurt
So … this happened last night at AMFAR: Kanye West and Naomi Campbell on stage together, presenting together. There was no dramatic interruption. There were no cell phones thrown. No one was offended. No one was removed from the situation. And later on, the two of them even posed with Boy George. Full Story
Missing Jon Hamm in Cannes
I'm sorry, I was so caught up with Johnny Depp and the Pirates 4 press day on Saturday I actually missed out on Jon Hamm. Are we fighting? No, we're not. Because I know I deserved to be yelled at. Sometimes they just stack so many things at the same time, you have to make a choice. And on our show, we had to shoot Johnny. Full Story
Please just happen already
Real life doesn't work the Ross and Rachel way but when it comes to Rihanna and Drake, I wish it would. As I noted in the article after the Grammys, these two need to happen. For all of us. Rihanna and Drake performed during half-time at the NBA All-Star Game in LA last night and, well, it was a lot better than what the Black Eyed Peas delivered at the Super Bowl though to be fair, I suppose an indoor venue is different. Full Story
New Year fur & Twitter songs
Kanye West hooked up with Jay-Z yesterday in New York for a meeting at the Mercer Hotel. As you can see, he was animal all over with an orange handle handbag and a fur coat to keep warm. Needless to say, Kanye being Kanye, there's little chance of this being fake. West and Jay are just coming off their New Year's Eve in Vegas where they both took the stage at the Cosmopolitan opening with Coldplay. Full Story

City of Alexandria, VA
Project LifesaverProject Lifesaver is a program that assists in providing a timely response to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children who wander due to Alzheimer's, autism, Down syndrome, and other related conditions or disorders. Project Lifesaver has a successful track record of locating and returning wandering adults and children to families and caregivers. The program relies on proven technology and specially trained search and rescue teams. Project Lifesaver clients wear a personalized wristband that emits an invisible tracking signal. When caregivers notify the Sheriff's Office that a loved one is missing, a search and rescue team responds to the area and starts searching with specialized tracking equipment. Utilizing this technology, search times have been reduced from hours and days to an average of less than 30 minutes. Project Lifesaver has over 1,150 participating agencies across the U.S., Canada, and Australia, and has performed 2,273 searches in the last 11 years with no serious injuries or fatalities ever reported. Eligibility The safety of the citizens of the City of Alexandria is our highest priority. We accept clients with Alzheimer's disease, autism, and Down syndrome. We will also consider people who have other disorders that may cause them to chronically wander and become lost. To enter someone into the Alexandria Project Lifesaver program, the following requirements must be met:
Technology Project Lifesaver's state-of-the-art equipment is the most reliable and practical technology available for locating missing persons. The transmitter that is worn emits a silent signal every second, 24 hours a day. This signal is tracked on the ground or air over several miles. Since each wristband has a unique frequency, the Project Lifesaver search team can quickly locate the person who has wandered away from home. This specialized equipment, combined with the Project Lifesaver Electronic Search Specialist training, has led to a 100% success rate. Project Lifesaver History The 43rd Virginia Search and Rescue officially formed Project Lifesaver. In April 1999, the first personal locator unit was put in place in Chesapeake, Virginia. In spring of 2008, the Alexandria Project Lifesaver Program began with the Alexandria Sheriff's Office and Alexandria Police Department, in cooperation with the Kelley Cares Foundation. The first class for electronic search specialists included eight deputies, six police officers, and a member of the Therapeutic Recreation Center. Currently, the program is administered by the Alexandria Sheriff's Office, and we continue to conduct additional training, in order to provide the most effective search and rescue program in the City of Alexandria.

Gaggia Brera Espresso Machine in Black
Hi everyone
I've had my Brera for nearly 4 months and couldn't be happier - a big step up from my Baby Dose.
I only have a slight problem I'd like help with.
I descaled the machine for the second time today - I do it as soon as the light comes on.
I did the whole process but when I followed the last instruction to reset and turn the "needs descaling" warning light off, it didn't work.
I repeated the whole process with the same result.
It's not end of the world but it does mean that with the light stuck on it won't tell me when it needs descaling next time.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

How an Arm Sling or Shoulder Sling Can Help Treat Shoulder Dislocation
The shoulder is one of the most frequently dislocated joints because the top of the arm bone sits in a very shallow socket. Ironically, what makes the shoulder extremely mobile also makes it very unstable. This is where an arm brace can help. A shoulder dislocation is often caused after a heavy fall onto the arm. Even though the arm has been reconnected, it still takes around twelve to sixteen weeks for a dislocated shoulder to heal. A dislocated shoulder means that the arm bone has popped out of its socket, causing the supporting tissues to overstretch or tear.
Signs of a dislocated shoulder may include the following: an extremely painful arm that is difficult to move, the presence of a lump or bulge under the skin in front of the shoulder, and a rather squarish (as opposed to round) appearance of the shoulder.
Patients who have suffered a dislocated shoulder need to seek medical attention immediately, as arm slings alone may not fix the problem, and surgery may be required. Most dislocated shoulders are treated in a hospital emergency room, where an X-ray is first done to make sure that there are no broken bones. If a fracture is not present, the arm is then gently put back and connected into the shoulder joint. The shoulder and arm are then both supported by a shoulder sling. The sling brace is usually worn for a few weeks to several months for the shoulder to completely recover.
The Best Shoulder Sling Available at BraceAbility
The Corflex Ultra Shoulder Abduction Pillow with Sling is indicated for shoulder arthroscopy, rotator cuff repair, bankart repair, shoulder separation, and shoulder dislocation. This sling for arm and shoulder is designed to provide immobilization at 15 degrees of external rotation (abduction). Unlike the more basic model, the Corflex Ultra offers an extended pillow design with malleable foam for the ultimate prevention of slipping and rolling. The design of this shoulder sling also offers an extended level of comfort for the patient, making it ideal for long-term use and consistent wear.
We at BraceAbility offer a variety of shoulder slings, arm slings, and arm splints depending on your needs. Not sure what arm-shoulder slings you require? No problem. Our customer service representatives are here to help. To speak with one, please call us at (866) 712.7808. We'll be glad to assist you in any way we can.

Kale Subzi
I hate waste, but I will admit, I am not above it.
I get really excited at the sight of fresh vegetables, buy an armload of them, put them in the fridge, and -- when life gets in the way -- I forget all about them until they have turned into a sloppy, barely-recognizable mess and it's time to throw them out.
Greens are usually at the top of the casualty list, as anyone that cooks can understand, because of their short shelf life.
So as much as I love greens and leafies of all kinds, I don't dare to buy them fresh unless I know I will use them rightaway.
On my last trip to the store, I found some wonderfully fresh kale. In my book, kale is a little high maintenance because of the tough stems that need to be trimmed out, so I usually buy it frozen. But this time I simply couldn't resist their call.
What's better, I found this deliciously simple recipe for them in World Vegetarian. It's actually a recipe that can be adapted to any leafy vegetable, and although Sri Lankan in origin, it was not that different from some Indian recipes for greens.
So kale it was for dinner last night, and I must say I loved both the ease of preparation of this recipe as well as the subtle flavor of the simple spices that held up beautifully against the robust taste of the kale.
Kale Subzi
1 bunch kale, tough stems trimmed, and leaves cut into very thin strips.
1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
1 onion, cut into very thin slices
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 green chillies, slit down the middle
1 sprig curry leaves (about 10-15 individual leaves)
1/4 cup shredded coconut
Salt to taste
Heat oil in a saucepan.
Add the onions, chillies and curry leaves and saute, stirring frequently, until the onion turns golden-brown.
Add the kale, turmeric and salt. Add about 1/2 cup of water. When the water comes to a boil, turn the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until the kale is tender. Add more water if needed.
Toss in the coconut and serve hot with rice and dal, or rotis/chapatis.
20 comments :
I have the same problem! I pick up more than I can cook in a week, and the fist one into the crisper gets long forgotten. So the last two weeks I made it a point to pickup only 2 veggies, I can drive out if I really need anything else. I wasted a few leaves of kale the last time I bought them, so the chard got cooked the very same day this week :))
ReplyDeleteKale is a pretty sturdy green--we've found that if you put a few tablespoons of water in a plastic bag, put in the kale leaves and then tie a tight knot in the bag, they will keep for up to two weeks in the fridge.
I've always felt that Kale is one of the most unloved greens in the produce aisle. You can buy a huge bunch for as little as a dollar or two, and you can make healthy meals for days out of it!

It is unlikely that Lance Armstrong will face criminal fraud or perjury charges in connection with a closed federal investigation despite his admission of using banned performance-enhancing drugs, a source with knowledge of the probe told CNN Friday.
The investigation was closed last February without any charges against the now-dethroned seven-time Tour de France champion. Although he has admitted that he lied about his use of banned substances and procedures, he wouldn't face perjury charges in connection with the probe because he never testified in the proceedings, the source said.
The source confirmed that investigators focused their probe on allegations of potential fraud, based on the activity of a racing team partly owned by Lance Armstrong that received a sponsorship contract from the U.S. Postal Service between 1998 and 2004.
Despite Armstrong's statements, the statute of limitations on a criminal fraud scheme is five years, which could pose problems should the government consider reopening the case. Armstrong told Oprah Winfrey he stopped doping following his retirement in 2005.
The Justice Department had no comment on whether it might reopen the criminal investigation in light of Armstrong's comments to Oprah.
The nearly two-year inquiry, centered in Los Angeles, involved evidence gathered by federal prosecutors that including sworn testimony from Armstrong's former teammates, associates and friends. According to the source, the probe began with a separate investigation of a California racing team in 2008 whose members included former teammates of Armstrong. The source would not identify the team.
According to the source, the criminal probe accelerated when former cycling champion Floyd Landis, one of Armstrong's former teammates, went public in 2010 alleging he and other top riders, including Armstrong, had engaged in widespread doping while on the Postal Service team.
According to the source, prosecutors examined whether a doping program was developed for Armstrong's team during the period when it received millions of sponsorship dollars from the U.S. Postal Service. The criminal probe was focused on whether Armstrong engaged in criminal fraud through "financial transactions" if the government could prove he violated anti-doping clauses in his contract with the Postal Service, the source said.
The source added that investigators probed "what kind of alleged doping occurred and how it occurred."
On February 3, 2012, U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr., representing the Central District of California, announced that his office was closing the investigation into "allegations of federal criminal conduct by members and associates of a professional bicycle racing team owned in part by Lance Armstrong."

5. | slamming | ||
A southern term for taking a shit or dropping a duece so to speak. Technically slamming means a massive shit, which in most cases is painful to experience. Due to the fried diet of the south, most slams have large amounts of screaming, moaning, crying, praying, and begging. Many who experience such slams change religions 2 or 3 times and in some cases have even found Waldo during the ordeal. Throughout most of the slam the one taking the slam, also called the slammer, will have slam material better known as reading material to occupy the duration of the painful event. 80% of the time this slam material will consist of up-to-date sports information and news. Though everyone has to live through painful shits it's mostly males who get the brunt of this force. More often than not, males who take slams will have socks on and will keep their phone within an arms reach incase the fire department or medical assistance is needed. It is estimated 1/3 of slammers hallucinate and/or black out due to the amount of pressure put on the rectum and anus. Wow, I can't believe this guy is slamming in my girlfriend's bathroom.

During the robbery, one of the suspects shot Thomas Dotterer, 77, in the eye. Police say Dotterer is the owner of the store, and he is also a baseball coach at Christian Brothers Academy.
Dotterer was taken to Upstate University Hospital. He's in critical condition after undergoing surgery on his eye.
Police are still looking for the suspects.
Meanwhile, one person is now in custody for another armed robbery that happened about 45 minutes earlier on Taft Avenue. Two women had their purses stolen at gunpoint by three suspects. Police arrested Deoz Miller-Harris, 18, of Syracuse and charged him with second degree robbery.
It's not clear if these robberies are connected, and both are still under investigation.
Police ask anyone with information about either incident to contact them at (315) 442-5222.

Could someone make me a sig? Maybe have Freeman, Blount, Brooks, Alstott and Lynch...with my screen name? With like a pirate theme? Im good with paint shop just not creative enough to make a signature.
You were simply too smart for me.
Could I get a pic of myself, Blount, and the cougar in the backseat?
Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
Quote from: Ricky Bobby on September 18, 2012, 08:57:06 PMCould I get a pic of myself, Blount, and the cougar in the backseat? Baby Jesus doesn't love you anymore.
Id like Freeman, Foster, and Jackson with some throwback orange and a pirate ship (and screen name). Something in the same realm as what I have now. Escobar did an awesome on it, but Winslow is now gone.
Actually the problem isnt that Freeman stinks. He is average. He puts up good numbers just often enough to make you think he is better than he is. Bad and great are convincing. But mediocre makes you live with the delusion for too many years. He is just good enough to waste our time and not good enough to get us where we want to go.
A kickass Barth sig.The only consistent player on this roster. (good consistent)

Sonic 540 9.5
Availability: Out of Stock
MSRP Price: $149.00 Detailed Part Description: After a three-year absence, the Reedy name is making a return to the competition 1:10 electric motor scene. Reedy's Sonic line of brushed motors were a favorite of racers worldwide and powered numerous National and World Champions in the late '80s and early '90s. It is only fitting that the famous Sonic name be revived for the first complete line of competition brushless motors from the world-renowned Reedy brand. Designed strictly for competition and already proven at the highest level, the Reedy Sonic brushless motors feature a lightweight case design with extra-large, strategically placed vent holes to reduce operating temperatures. Lower temperatures result in less fade over the course of a race, longer run times, and increased motor life. A precision balanced high-strength sintered rotor is supported by dual ball bearings for maximum RPM and reliability. Adjustable timing and a variety of optional rotors allows for fine tuning for particular applications and tracks. Several models for both stock and modified racing are available and all meet ROAR, EFRA, and IFMAR specifications. Models for SC 4x4 trucks and 1:8 electric buggies/truggies are in the works and will be released soon. Features:

We never get over our fathers, and we're not required to.
—Old Irish saying
In the summer of 2010 I got a call from my oldest son, Emilio. He was calling from the editing room where he was working on The Way, our film about a father-and-son pilgrimage, written and directed by Emilio, in which I play his father. We'd spent forty days filming in southwest France and northern Spain along the Camino de Santiago, the thousand-year-old, 500-mile route leading to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, where the remains of Saint...

Though the weather brought no relief in the days following the storm, as victims faced freezing temperatures followed by rain, this was no excuse for some 700 volunteers locally and across the state who descended upon Gordon County working throughout the weekend to bring food, clothing, supplies and fulfill any other need to those devastated by the tornado.
Additionally, Gordon County Sheriff Mitch Ralston reports that alongside deputies and Fairmount and Calhoun City police departments, more than 10 agencies from outside Gordon County assisted in recovery and relief efforts immediately after the storm.
Gordon County bus drivers with the transportation department also donated their time to deliver 25-30 volunteers on three buses, food in the days following the storm to storm victims.
Almost immediately after the storm passed donations began to pour in from local organizations, and volunteers were not in short supply. Sonoraville High School was eventually named the incident command center for relief efforts by Gordon County EMA.
From this location food was provided three times a day, Thursday through Sunday, and the gym served as a temporary shelter.
The Sonoraville Recreation Center has since been turned into a pick up location for food, blankets, supplies and anything storm victims would need in the aftermath.
Additionally, a Red Cross shelter was also set up at Sonoraville Recreation Center after being moved from Belmont Baptist Church in Calhoun.
McGill Mountain resident Jennifer DeFoor was on her way out of the Sonoraville Rec. shelter Monday afternoon and was excited to report she had finally found a place to live. DeFoor came to the shelter after a fallen tree destroyed her home Wednesday.
"I've been here since Friday and I'm so excited to be able to sleep in my own bed," said DeFoor on Monday.
Loaded up with blankets, cleaning supplies, food and more, DeFoor was assisted by volunteers Stephen Rademacher and Anette McEntyre at Sonoraville Recreation Center Monday.
The old Big Lots warehouse on Hwy 53 has been set up to house all of the donations that are available for pick up at the Sonoraville Recreation Center.
Recently a large donation totaling more than $100,000 worth of supplies for storm victims was delivered on a 53-foot tractor-trailer from the Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort, Inc., according to SHS Principal Bruce Potts.
A second truckload is expected Wednesday morning with more specific supply needs, compiled from a list communicated by storm victims over the weekend.
Potts, like so many others, worked at SHS over the weekend around the clock working with EMA crew Richard Cooper, Chad Castoe and other first responders to ensure storm victims were being tended to, however the reality of the situation did eventually set in.
"I had mixed emotions all weekend," said Potts. "I struggled with the devastation with what happened and families being displaced and knowing those families."
Potts went on to explain retired educator Terry Hampton's home and the memories of his son Coulter Hampton had been scattered across the countryside by the tornado.
"Those memories they will never get back," said Potts.
During a student assembly, Potts recognized the more than 300 students who stood up for time served volunteering over the weekend, and left those not standing with a charge.
"This is where it will get hard, this is the debris, this is the garbage, we want to continue to rise up in our community before this is done," said Potts. "I would love to have every student get involved and help a family. Coming together is going to make our community stronger."
GEMA provided counselors for SHS students, and Gordon EMA Director Richard Cooper commended students on their volunteer efforts.
"It's not just SHS students, Calhoun kids were out here, Gordon Central students were out here making sandwiches," said Potts. "Calhoun band boosters emptied out their concessions, that filled up a whole table. It's high energy for workers, and we were able to put snack packs together for utility workers. A large number of our kids had a hand in the cleanup and will continue to work."
Donations of food, paper products, sanitary items, blankets, etc., will continue to be available at the Sonoraville Recreation Center, said Potts, who explained the center's director Don Holley agrees the station will be there as long as it is needed by the community.
The United Way is also accepting donations and has so far helped place five storm victim families. Donations can be made to the United Way for direct local relief.

Council action postponed on FCNP request for funds
By Dan Eakin, email@example.com
The Coppell City Council will not vote until late next month on whether to grant a request from the Friends of Coppell Nature Park (FCNP) for $709,000 in order to begin construction on a $1.7 million biodiversity center.
At the conclusion of a lengthy discussion on the subject at a Jan. 8 workshop, City Manager Clay Phillips said the request would be on the Jan. 22 city council agenda. However, the following morning, members of the FCNP requested that a vote on the proposal be delayed until late February.
One of the biggest concerns expressed at the workshop was whether many of the promised in kind donations, none of which were in writing, are still being offered.
Duggan added, �"After our work session with the council, we met with our architect and general contractors for another hour. In lieu of our current price quotes we decided to take formal bids for the job. In this manner we can nail down all donations, services, materials, and labor. The architect is focusing his staff onto this effort and will provide specific construction plans to the general contractor.�
He further said, �The general contractor will distribute these plans to each subcontractor for his work, donation, or service. In this manner the actual value of donated services, materials, and labor can be appraised as well as actual �paid� work. This should provide a current and re-affirmed funding number that the council is needing. This process involves 25 to 30 contractors and will take weeks.�
During the workshop, Place 2 Councilman Bob Mahalik and Place 6 Councilman Marvin Franklin of Place 6 expressed support for approving the FCNP request for funds, while Place 5 Councilman Billy Faught, Place 7 Councilman Aaron Duncan and Mayor Pro Tem Tim Brancheau indicated they wanted it to be decided by the people with a possible bond election in November.
Mayor Karen Hunt also expressed support for the approval of the request.
After the meeting, Roden said, �This issue is still being deliberated by the city council and therefore I will not make a final decision until all of the debate has occurred.�
Councilman Aaron Duncan commented, �I think this is a great project and I appreciate the efforts of the Friends of Coppell Nature Park with everything they have done to date.��Although this is a great project, we have many needs and requests for continuation�or�additional programs, expanded facilities, etc., throughout our city.� At this time I am not convinced that spending this additional $709,000 and the associated�commitment to the ongoing maintenance costs, etc., is our highest and best use of $709,000.� I would recommend that the prioritization of this project, compared to the other potential projects in the City,�be left to the voters.�
He added, �I would encourage our citizens to voice�their opinions on this matter.��
Wes Mays, Place 3 council member, said, �Fundamentally, I believe that the nature park is a very good idea and must give credit to the FCNP for the work they've done. I'm particularity impressed with the proposed net zero aspect of the building.� As an engineer by profession, this has piqued my professional interest as well as an interest for the good of the community.�
He added, �Mr. Duggan, of FCNP, demonstrated his solar system installed at his residence to me and he continues to express his satisfaction with the system. However, as I expressed at the work session, I have concerns over the funding and administration of the park.� As a result, we have more work to do before I can make a decision.�
He concluded, �We have several options that are being worked on by the city and by FCNP.� The council will be meeting on Jan 29 in a work session to discuss budgetary matters and I expect that this will be on the agenda.� I will defer my opinions until after all the funding options have been explored.�
Duggan�s final comments were:
�No organization in Coppell has ever attempted what we are doing for the city. We are starting our 10th year of volunteer support for a nature park created by kids. None of us are paid, running for office, building resumes, looking for jobs, or seeking rewards for this community service. In the final analysis, I always ask myself if we are truly performing a service for our community. And, I keep coming back to the hundreds of youth and adults who have donated thousands of hours to create the park, plus saved their nickels and dimes to be in The Coppell 300 so we can complete the vision our youth fostered in 2003. We are touching lives and they have touched ours.�

Karl Rove will speak on the relationship between campaigning and governing, says Canisius political science professor Michael Haselswerdt.
"And how that relationship has been changing over time," he says.
Rove will speak as part of the William H. Fitzpatrick Chair of Political Science Lecture Series at Canisius.
Haselswerdt figures it's a good topic for Rove, a former presidential advisor who also served as the deputy chief of staff under President George W. Bush.
"Campaigning is more and more dominating the governing aspect of things, but we'll see what he says about it," Haselswerdt adds.
Rove also supervises American Crossroads, a super PAC.
Rove's lecture begins at 7 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center. It's free and open to the public, but Canisius says seating will be limited.

Week 6 Recap
By Bob GaughanNC State 17 Florida State 16
This is a game that Florida State should have never lost. The Seminoles let the Wolfpack hang around too long in a game that they should have won easily in the first half. NC State had no offense in the first half and trailed 16-0 at the break. Florida State was shut-out in the second half. NC State Quarterback Mike Glennon hasn't had the senior season he had hoped but he did just enough to pull the upset. Glennon got a short field to work with as NC State blocked a punt with just over two minutes to go. NC State had three fourth down conversions on the winning drive, the last being the go ahead score on a four yard completion to Bryan Underwood. Florida State star CB Xavier Rhodes had a key interference penalty that helped the drive as well. This was supposed to be a potentially national championship season for Florida State but it goes up in flames as a result of a poor second half performance.
Florida 14 LSU 6
LSU struggled coming into this one with a tight win over Auburn and a much closer game than most expected with Towson. That was a sign of things to come. LSU had only 8 first downs in the game. The LSU offense is an embarrassment. Zach Menttenberger was supposed to be a better QB than Jordan Jefferson and he has proved to be a disappointment. The fine LSU defense wore down in the second half. Florida RB Mike Gillislee gained a career high 146 yards on 34 carries. He had the two Gator touchdowns as well. Thank the supposed Creator that I could watch thirty other games Saturday to avoid becoming a glazed zombie watching two privileged teams entertain their ever forgiving fan bases with this display borne of archaic preparation & inept execution in the sacred game of gridiron warfare. On a related note: You wonder if in the next Jets game Saint Timothy of Gainesville will play RB/WR/QB/CB/TE/H-Back/PR/KR/Gunner on all Special Teams & for the few plays where he isn't on the field, he will function as the Radar O'Reilly Communications Conduit, relaying via headset all Defensive/Offensive & Special Team Communications.
Kansas State 56 Kansas 16
Bill Snyder is a disciple of Hayden Fry. Fry would always put a huge emphasis on beating your in state rival. Fry believed you needed not just to win but to destroy your in state rival for recruiting reasons. So it shouldn't be a shock to anyone that Kansas State didn't just want to beat Charlie Weis in his first year as coach of Kansas but embarrass him as well. This game was only a seven point game at halftime but Kansas State laid it on in the second half. Collin Klein and John Hubert both rushed for over 100 yards and combined for six touchdowns on the ground.
Penn State 39 Northwestern 28
You have to hand it to Bill O'Brien and Penn State after turning it around after a 0-2 start and now beating the number 24 team in the nation. Penn State dominated this game more than the score would indicate. Northwestern got a punt return for a touchdown and had a short field for another score. Northwestern came in as a high scoring offense but could muster less than 250 yards of offense against a strong Penn State defense. Matt McGloin threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third in leading the Penn State offense. The Nittany Lions have now won four straight. This was Northwestern's first loss of the season. They were trying to go 6-0 for the first time since Ara Parseghian was coach.
Mississippi State 27 Kentucky 14
For the second straight week Kentucky played hard at home against a ranked opponent but in the end came up short. Last week they blew an opportunity to upset South Carolina and this week Mississippi State had to work hard but eventually wore down the less talented Wildcats. Mississippi State has a great defense led by one of the best CB in the country Jonathan Banks. Kentucky was held to 226 yards of total offense. Tyler Russell managed the game well for the Bulldogs offense and threw for 273 yards and two touchdowns.
Stanford 54 Arizona 48 OT
Stanford needed a good offensive showing after a poor effort in a loss last week to Washington. They needed QB Josh Nunes to have a career day to beat Arizona. An under-sized Arizona defense figured to be a bad match-up against the physical bullies of the Pac-12 in the Stanford Cardinal. What proved to be a surprise was that a usually strong Stanford defense had no answer for the Wildcats spread offense. Both teams had exactly 627 yards of offense. My only complaint was that Rich Rodriguez played for overtime at the end of regulation. Stanford's star LB and future pro Chase Thomas intercepted a pass in OT. Stanford won it three plays later when Stephan Taylor ran it in from 21 yards out.
Iowa State 37 TCU 23
A tumultuous week for TCU football ended with their nation long 12 game winning streak being snapped at home by unranked Iowa State. TCU star QB Casey Pachall was suspended indefinitely Thursday after suspicion of driving while intoxicated. His replacement Trevone Boykin threw three interceptions including one that was returned for a touchdown. Iowa State is much improved and the Cyclones are now 4-1 on the season.
Oklahoma 41 Texas Tech 20
Oklahoma is an outstanding 19-0 in games after a loss since 2004. Landry Jones needed to get better after a few lackluster performances this year. Jones responded by completing 25 of 40 passes for 259 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The real stars of the game were the Oklahoma offense lineman. They gave Jones ample time against what was one of the best scoring defenses in the country. Texas Tech was doing it with defense having allowed only 10.8 points per game coming into this contest. Defensively the Sooners were the better team as well. Javon Harris put the game away with a 46 yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter.
Clemson 47 Georgia Tech 31
You would think that Tajh Boyd, Andre Ellington, WR DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins would have a field day against a poor Yellow Jackets defense that just got smoked by Middle Tennessee State. That's exactly what happened as Boyd threw for a career high 397 yards and Hopkins had 173 receiving yards. Clemson's defense is still a huge concern as a shoot-out materialized with the Tech option attack. Tech did gain 483 yards in a losing effort. There were only two punts in the game one from each side.
Oregon State 19 Washington State 6
Washington State stud receiver Marquess Wilson had only four catches for 54 yards against a stingy Oregon State defense. Mike Riley was on the hot seat coming into this season and what a shock it is to see the Beavers in the Top 25. Oregon State held Mike Leach's offense to only 227 yards. Jordan Poyer had three interceptions for the Beavers. DE Scott Crichton was in the Cougars backfield all night. Crichton had three sacks on the day. It was a sloppy offensive performance by Oregon State as they had 11 penalties and three turnovers.
South Carolina 35 Georgia 7
Georgia ran all over Tennessee with their two-headed freshman running back monster. Could they do it against a tough Gamecocks defensive line that sports two future NFL players in Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor. The answer was a resounding NO! South Carolina jumped out early on Georgia and this one was a rout right from the start. You hope that Georgia falls far in the polls after this performance. Aaron Murray completed only 11 of his 31 passes for just over 100 yards on the night. Marcus Lattimore had another 100 yard night which seems so common place for him now.
West Virginia 48 Texas 45
Alabama coach Nick Saban said earlier this week that he is against the spread offenses because he thinks "it might cause injuries". I totally disagree with the best coach in the country. I loved watching this game. I could watch West Virginia games every week. Geno Smith actually said after the Baylor game that he "thinks he has had better games." Mack Brown was so concerned about stopping Smith that he must have called Dave Wannstedt for a defensive game plan. Smith didn't have the numbers he put up last week but RB Andrew Buie ran for a career high 207 yards as the Longhorns couldn't stop the run for the second straight week. Smith didn't hurt his Heisman quest either by throwing for four touchdowns. Karma played a role in the loss as well for Texas. Penn State transfer Anthony Fera missed a chip shot field goal late in the fourth quarter that could have tied the game at the time.
Notre Dame 41 Miami 3
Notre Dame's "Teacher's Pet" arrangement/flirtation with the Atlantic Coast Conference means that we may see more of this rivalry. Count me as one that hated the Notre Dame jerseys. Count me one that loves the Notre Dame defense. Notre Dame now has a trio of defensive players that could be drafted. We all know that ILB Manti T'eo is a for sure first round pick. Defensive ends Stephon Tuitt and Kapron Lewis-Moore are making noise as well. Miami could do little against the Irish. Stephon Morris came into the game on fire and left in a slump. Miami couldn't stop the Notre Dame ground game. Notre Dame ran for 399 yards on the ground. That's right almost 400 yards just on the ground. George Atkinson and Cierre Wood both gained over 100 yards and combined for three touchdowns.
Ohio State 63 Nebraska 38
Last week Michigan State slowed down the Ohio State offense by stacking the line on Braxton Miller. Nebraska must not have gotten the tape of that game. Do you remember when Nebraska had the proud "Black Shirt Defense"? What a distant memory that seems now. Braxton Miller threw for only 127 yards but ran for 185 against the once vaunted Cornhusker defense. Credit has to go to offensive linemen like Tackle Reid Fragel who has gotten better and better each game. Last week he got the best of Michigan State DE William Gholstein. Nebraska's offense turned the ball over four times which over-shadowed an otherwise fine performance. You would have thought 38 points would have been enough for Nebraska and one would have never imagined that you would still lose by 25.

Greg Kurstin: Producing Lily Allen
If there's any obvious downside to delivering a smash hit debut album, surely it's the pressure to do it again. For Lily Allen, whose first album "Alright, Still" sold more than 2.5 million records, the pressure was enormous.
In 2006, a nearly unknown Lily Allen snuck up on her staggering debut success by releasing her songs on MySpace, incrementally building an army of "friends" whose rabid enthusiasm would drive both the creation and the consumption of the album. That album's popular and critical reception, as well as Allen's candid blogging about her music and her life, made her one of the world's most recognised pop stars.
There would be no sneaking up, it seemed, on her much anticipated second album, "It's Not Me, It's You". But Allen, running as usual against the grain, decided to try. Stepping temporarily out of London, where her life is followed as closely as the weather, she asked producer Greg Kurstin to join her for several sessions of remote songwriting in makeshift Logic-based "studios" set up in the English countryside.
Allen knew of course that no degree of geographical misdirection could improve her chances with her second album half as much as a fresh, strong musical direction. But she reckoned that in Kurstin — a former jazz keyboard prodigy and current Indie pop performer (with his acclaimed group, The Bird and the Bee) — she had a perfect partner for charting that new course.
Not only did Kurstin bring significant Logic chops along with his platinum producing credits (Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Natasha Bedingfield), he was a known quantity, having co-written and produced three songs from Allen's first album. Their established rapport put them, if not on the same page, at least on a familiar and possibly faster track to creating a voice and sound for the new album.
"There's always that challenge of where to go from the first record", says Kurstin. "You feel like you want to keep what people liked in the first place, but you want to take it somewhere else, too. I was just always running ideas through my head, even when I wasn't working, to find original ones that could work for her and still keep everything in the style of Lily Allen".
Writing in the Room
Allen says she sought out Kurstin in part because as a hands-on player/writer/producer he's prolific at generating musical ideas "from scratch". Kurstin confirms that he works best that way. "I prefer to write in the room, on the spot", he says. "Just kind of write the song and do the track after. Also, Lily responds most creatively when I come up with things with her, as opposed to bringing in my concept of what I think she should do and her having to adapt to that", he says.
"It also makes for less homework", he adds, laughing. "I can just kind of leave it to the session, just figure it out".
Real-time collaborative writing marked a significant difference from how he'd previously worked with Allen. "On the first record I'd come in with a developed track idea that I'd edit into a song", says Kurstin. "But on this record, Lily didn't write to tracks at all. Instead, I'd play ideas in the room on a Logic instrument, maybe two different simple piano chord progressions, like a motif. If she liked it, I'd just loop it around in Logic. When she'd come up with a verse, I'd listen to get an idea about how to develop the track. Then she'd lay down one or two vocals. After that I'd build up the track, which would inspire her to finish the song and write the chorus. It was sort of a tag team approach".
Sonically Challenged
Because the early writing and recording sessions occurred in separate multi-week sessions in a rented Cotswold cottage, then in a country Manor House, Kurstin faced acoustic challenges as formidable as the creative ones. "It was a little tricky because these weren't really sound-treated rooms but hard walls and stone, so sound was bouncing off of everything", he says. "It was a challenge sonically, but that was OK, because the vibe was there".
Kurstin temporarily converted both the cottage and the house into viable remote studios by renting microphones, speakers, and other necessary equipment and instruments. "Everything else was pretty much done on my laptop in Logic", he says.
Guitars were recorded through a Neve/1176 directly into Logic. "I ended up using the Logic Guitar Amp Pro plug-in on all of the guitar tracks," he says. Vocals were recorded into Logic and produced using the Compressor, Channel EQ, Tape Delay and Space Designer plug-ins that are part of Logic Studio.
Logical Choice
Kurstin, a lifelong Mac user who began using Logic in 2000 after seeing it in action in a studio session, says he favours an all-Logic workflow because it perfectly complements his writing style. "When I'm writing a song, I don't want to take too much time fiddling with sound", he says. "I just want to put up a few ideas, create something interesting or weird that might inspire us. Logic allows me to quickly build a track without losing creative momentum, so it was perfect for writing and recording in these countryside sessions".
Mixing M.O.
In writing and recording "It's Not Me, It's You", Kurstin worked in MIDI from beginning to end in nearly every track. "What I love about Logic is the way MIDI and audio live in the session side-by-side so seamlessly, because that's really important for what I do, and it's a great way for me to write".
Kurstin stays with his software instrument and sampler tracks even in the final stages of mixing a track, leveraging Logic's ability to handle his frequent late changes. "I'm changing tempos or adding punchier kick drums even in mixing. Logic makes it easy to do that".
Custom Sounds
To stretch their basic electro-pop sound across songs that ranged from dancehall to jazz to 60s pop and even Country, Kurstin used Logic instruments and effects almost exclusively. Kurstin calls out Logic's Compressor, Tape Delay, Guitar Amp Pro and EQ as his workhorses in writing and producing the album.
For keyboards, Kurstin used lots of custom sounds that he'd sampled himself into Logic's EXS24, including an upright piano, analog keyboards and organs, and vintage keyboards that he uses in his home studio.
"I liked having my own sampler, with my own sort of unusual, imperfect sounding samples", he says. "I'll just sample those in the laptop so I can have them while I travel, or sometimes I'll just have my channel strips to write over. It was very useful to be able to just pull any of those out and instantly give an unfinished track a finished quality, so we could hear what it would really sound like.
"For synth stuff, I almost always used Logic's ES2", he says. I'm just so much quicker at getting what I want on ES2 than on anything else, and I always get the sound that I want. Using the random button, I found a really amazing screaming synth sound that I used both on "Everyone's At It" and "Go Back to the Start".
Kurstin also found useful the Evoc PS 20 Vocoder synth, which he used on several tracks including "Everyone's At It", "The Fear", "Not Fair", "Back to the Start", "Chinese", and "Who'd of Known". "Frequently I'd play the chords of the chorus on the vocoder, sidechaining the lead vocal. I'd usually turn it way down, sometimes adding the guitar amp; it really helped make the chorus pop out".
Back to the Top
Looking back, Kurstin believes his and Allen's closely collaborative writing process helped them achieve precisely the something old, something new balance they were going for. "Musically it's a bit different", he says. "We don't really reference the Jamaican Soul and Rock Steady that was on the first record, so it's definitely a different sound from the original Lily singles. We were in a really creative mood, I think, and I love where Lily took it lyrically".
Early indications are the public loves it, too. Even before "It's Not Me, It's You" dropped recently, its first released single, "The Fear", was number one on the U.K Top 40 singles chart. And just days after the album was released, it was the number one downloaded album on iTunes.
"I've seen so many positive reviews, says Kurstin. "Even people who were expecting maybe to not like it admitted they like it. That's always a surprise".

We are comfortable with serving practically the same traditional foods year after year. We look forward to breaking the fast with a tall glass of cold orange juice, assorted bagels, cream cheese, nova, egg salad, sliced tomatoes, kugel and steaming hot coffee.

Italians seek return of Salieri remains
MILAN (AP) — Residents of a provincial city in northern Italy are seeking to reclaim the remains of its best-known son, composer Antonio Salieri.
Salieri left his birthplace of Legnago, south of Verona, as a teen in 1766 to pursue his musical ambitions in Vienna, where he mostly remained until his death in 1825. He was one of the Habsburg court's favorite composers, and is perhaps best remembered in popular culture as Mozart's chief rival. Rumors in his lifetime, dismissed by authoritative sources as slanderous, even claimed that Salieri poisoned Mozart.
A group of citizens under the banner ''Legnago for Salieri" is asking the city to back the initiative and activate diplomatic channels to recover the remains from Vienna's largest and most important cemetery, Zentralfriedhof, where such musical luminaries as Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms and Franz Schubert also have been laid to rest.
Organizer Franco Bozzolin said Tuesday that the ''noble initiative" was inspired by local pride. The last known attempt to return Salieri's remains failed during World War II, he said.
''We believe this mission is possible, but it will be a long road as it involves institutions in two countries," Bozzolin said.
The cultural foundation supporting the Salieri Theater in Legnago, dedicated to diffusing his works, has not taken an official position on the campaign.
But theater director Federico Pupo noted that Salieri's musical successes were mostly in Vienna. ''Therefore, I think it is correct that he rests in the city that he himself chose, and that benefitted him so much," Pupo said in an email.
Disseminating Salieri's music and that of his contemporaries is ''the only way he can be truly present in Legnago," he said.

It is so wonderful to see all of you here! It is a great honor for me to give my President's address this morning. In the next 20 minutes, I hope to provide a few insights (along with some laughter) as I use my experiences with salsa dancing as a metaphor for leadership and ITAA. For those of you who are not familiar with salsa dancing, here is a short video of the dance. So, what does this have to do with ITAA? First a little background ‐‐ About a year and a half ago I started taking Cuban Casino salsa dancing lessons. I had been involved with many forms of dance throughout my life and at the age of 50 – I thought salsa dancing would be great exercise and a great way to meet new people. Little did I know that Corvallis, Oregon is the home to one of the most vibrant Cuban Casino salsa dancing communities in the world – a community that is fun, caring, and welcoming ‐‐ even welcoming with open arms a 50‐year old woman who had never salsa danced before. As I reflected on what I have learned from my experiences with Cuban Casino salsa dancing, I realized that it could be used as an excellent metaphor for many topics and issues relevant to ITAA. And so I'd like to use salsa as a metaphor for the following: o Importance of both active leadership and followership o Respecting and celebrating one's heritage and mentors o Embracing our multicultural past and future o Stepping out of one's comfort zone Importance of Both Active Leadership and Followership Cuban Casino salsa is a led dance – you have leads (the men) and follows (the women) – and as I was told the first night – "Ladies, if you like to control things, with this dance, you're going to need to let it go". Gee, let me think, do I like to control things? Well, I'm a virgo born in the year of the monkey and a department chair – I think maybe I like to control things a bit! What I learned was the importance of both active leadership and active followership. And that "letting go" did not mean turning over one's responsibility. In salsa, the lead directs the dance and determines the specific dance combinations; the follow keeps the rhythm and must remain flexible but always mentally (if not always physically) connected to the lead so that she can appropriately respond to the lead's (sometimes) very subtle direction. Both roles are necessary, nonverbal communication is imperative (a direction can be as subtle

Ex-2K Czech designer jumps to Kojipro
Here's an interesting little blip; Kojima Productions has hired Jordan Amaro, formerly of the IGDA, 2K Czech and Crytek UK, as a designer on Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. The young developer has credits as a level mission designer on an unannounced 2K Czech game – presumably Mafia 3 – and as a designer on Homefront 2. He joined Kojima productions in March; it's not clear how senior his role is. MGS 5: The Phantom Pain is expected on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, although nobody knows when or whether it will come to other formats or even how many games it is.
Thanks, Junichi.

Metal Gear Solid artist planning "surprise" for franchise anniversary
Metal Gear Solid debuted a gorgeous brush-stroke style art style which later went on to become one of the series's defining characteristics, linking artist Yoji Shinkawa with the franchise forevermore. For the 25th anniversary of the very first Metal Gear, the series's Facebook page has promised the artist is preparing a "very special surprise". Obviously we have no idea what it is, but the post calls for questions, so perhaps an interview or video profile, or even a livestream of a work in progress.
