CD (Item 613296) CBS/Wounded Bird, 1975 — Condition: New Copy
Jazz funk genius from Freddie Hubbard in the mid 70s! Gleam was a Japanese-only double album from the jazz giant in its original release – mighty funky at times, too – right up there with some of the best Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock Japanese sets from the 70s! It's a live set captured in March of '75 at Tokyo's Yubin Chokin Hall – long numbers played by a group that includes Freddie on trumpet, Carl Randall on tenor and flute, George Cables on electric piano, Henry Franklin on bass, Carl Burnett on drums, and Buck Clark on percussion! Each player has plenty of space to groove, and it's very well captured – you can hear the most expressive solos and the most subtle nuances. Some great solos by Freddie and the rest of the players – breathless tenor & flute by Randall, keys by Cables that are jazz funk perfection and interplay between Burnett's drums and Clark's congas & percussion that's somehow tense and comfortable at the same time. The shortest number in the set runs more than the 7 minutes and the longest is more than 20 minutes – and none is one second shorter than necessary, actually leaving us pining for more – making it all the more vital in the double album format. Released on 2CDs for the first time ever here! How this great album has been so hard to find over the years is a mystery. Titles include "Kuntu", "Spirits Of Trane", an amazing cover of Stevie Wonder's "Too High", "Midnight At The Oasis", "Ebony Moonbeams", and "Put It In The Pocket". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Director : Gavin O'Connor
Screenplay : Gavin O'Connor & Anthony Tambakis & Cliff Dorfman (story by Gavin O'Connor & Cliff Dorfman)
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2011
Stars : Joel Edgerton (Brendan Conlon), Tom Hardy (Tommy Conlon), Nick Nolte (Paddy Conlon), Jennifer Morrison (Tess Conlon), Frank Grillo (Frank Campana), Kevin Dunn (Principal Zito), Maximiliano Hernández (Colt Boyd), Bryan Callen (Himself), Sam Sheridan (Himself), Fernando Chien (Fenroy), Jake McLaughlin (Mark Bradford), Vanessa Martinez (Pilar Fernandez), Denzel Whitaker (Stephon), Carlos Miranda (Tito)
It's a shame that Gavin O'Connor's Warrior isn't doing better at the box office, because it is easily one of the best sports dramas in recent years. A frequently powerful, consistently engaging, and unexpectedly honest depiction of the decades-spanning impact of alcoholism and familial abuse, the difficulties of true forgiveness, and the challenges of facing down one's own demons, Warrior is never an easy film even as it takes us step by step through a familiar, rousing dramatic template. This is partially because the dramatic arc is complicated by the presence of not one, but two dramatically compelling protagonists. Just like virtually every sports drama ever made, Warrior builds to a climactic bout of athletic competition, but unlike most of its predecessors, we are genuinely torn in deciding for whom we should cheer.
Like Rocky (1976), the patron saint of all gritty underdog sports movies, Warrior has its roots in the working class milieu of Philadelphia. The screenplay, which was penned by O'Connor, first-timer Anthony Tambakis, and Entourage staff writer Cliff Dorfman, centers on the three members of a decidedly broken family: two brothers, Brendan (Joel Edgerton) and Tommy (Tom Hardy), who have long since gone their separate ways, and their recovering alcoholic father Paddy (Nick Nolte), a former bruiser whose legacy of drunken rages and violence have left more scars than 12 steps can handle. Brendan has chosen the explicitly straight-and-narrow path to escape his past, ending his short and generally unmemorable career as a UFC cage fighter and marrying his high school sweetheart Tess (Jennifer Morrison), fathering two children, and working as a high school physics teacher. All is not well, though, as their combined three jobs are not enough to pay the medical bills for their daughter's heart problem and the bank is mere weeks away from foreclosing on their house, which for Brendan is the symbol of all their accomplishments. The path chosen by Tommy, a former high school wrestling champion and Paddy's protégé, is something of a mystery, although it somehow involves military service in Afghanistan and feelings of guilt about a fallen comrade.
Both brothers end up competing in Spartan, an international mixed martial arts tournament in Atlantic City that promises a $5 million payout to the winner. Tommy, who is again being trained by Paddy despite his unwillingness to forgive his father's past actions, has deeply personal reasons for wanting to win the tournament, and he goes about it with a ferocious concentration and sense of purpose that is both frightening and exhilarating in its stripped-down intensity. Brendan is also fighting for personal reasons, specifically to save his family from the kind of financial ruin that has come to define the middle-class experience in recent years (when the banker nonchalantly suggests that he consider bankruptcy, he refuses the idea with a simple, "That's not how we do things").
In other words, both brothers are putting themselves on the line for something other than their own personal glory, so when they meet in the final competition (which we know they must, even if we haven't seen the trailer), it goes completely against the grain of the sports movie formula that clearly marks who deserves to win and therefore should be victorious in the final reel. There is no hero and villain here, only two flawed men trying to do what they think is right. Granted, Brendan is more conventionally acceptable as a Hollywood protagonist (the blue-collar teacher fighting to save his well-earned piece of the American Dream) while Tommy has shades of villainy (the depths of his anger and resentment are staggering, and he refuses all attempts to bridge the pains of the past, whether from Brendan or Paddy). Yet, both characters are equally compelling, if for different reasons, and their end goals are equally honorable, which challenges our emotional alliances and makes the film's outcome impossible to predict.
O'Connor, whose previous film was Miracle (2008), a real-life sports drama about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team's upset victory over the heavily favored Soviets, demonstrates an impressive dexterity with the material, shifting ably from tense interpersonal conflict, which always considers with compassion the deep wells of pain from which the characters are operating, to the extraordinary physical violence inside the cage. The fight scenes are impressively choreographed and edited such that we feel every blow and are consistently shaken by the intensity of the competition, which is heightened substantially by the emotional stakes previously established. O'Connor deftly interweaves the film's thematic thread about the persistence of past trauma into the blood, sweat, and rancor of the fighting; when Brendan and Tommy finally face off, you literally feel the past three decades hovering in the cage with them, and each punch, kick, and body blow carries their accumulated weight (every time a body comes smashing down on the floor, we are reminded of Brendan teaching his students how force equals mass times acceleration).
The film's emotional wallop is also owing to the three central performances by Edgerton, Hardy, and Nolte. Edgerton, who has a Russell Crowe intensity about him, conveys Brendan's determination to rise above his past, while Hardy is all glowering, coiled up rage seething beneath a seemingly impenetrable shell. Perhaps most impressive, though, is Nolte, whose heavy layers of guilt are accented with just the right touch of internal loss and external frustration with others' unwillingness to give him the second chance he feels he has earned. All of the characters, in fact, have worked and earned the right to lay claim to something more than what they have, which is what makes Warrior such a viscerally devastating drama both inside the cage and out.

Royal approval for local news
Last updated at 20:43, Thursday, 24 May 2012
Visting regions across the United Kingdom during this diamond jubilee year, Prince Philip and I have been struck by the way that in towns, villages and cities, people have found that their community can be an important source of strength and support.
Local and regional newspapers are a fundamental part of the fabric of our communities and we should celebrate the important contribution they make to highlighting the issues and achievements of their particular area.
Through their reporting, local newspapers such as the Times & Star act as a voice for their readers and a focus for all.
Britain's regional media has also played an admirable role in helping communities to follow the fortunes of their local heroes – the athletes who will represent our nation at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Their endeavours should be a source of inspiration to us all.
I hope that both the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics will give people renewed cause for optimism and a reason to come together in celebration of what we can all achieve as a country.
I am delighted to give this message of support to this year's Local Newspaper Week.
I wish both local newspapers and their readers every success in the future.
l Local Newspaper Week, organised by the Newspaper Society, highlights how local newspapers are helping communities come together in celebration in the run up to two important national events – the Diamond Jubilee and London 2012 Olympics.

Design Article
RFID Security - Part 1: RFID radio basics & architecture
Frank Thornton
In a broad context, radio transmissions containing some type of identifying information are considered Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). This can be a cab driver using his unit number over the air, or the call sign of a radio station. This chapter discusses the tools, applications, and security of RFID.
RFID is about devices and technology that use radio signals to exchange identifying data. In the usual context, this implies a small tag or label that identifies a specific object. The action receives a radio signal, interprets it, and then returns a number or other identifying information. (e.g., "What are you?" answered with "I am Inventory Item Number 12345").
Alternatively, it can be as complex as a series of cryptographically encoded challenges and responses, which are then interpreted through a database, sent to a global satellite communications system, and ultimately influence a backend payment system.
Some of the current uses of RFID technology include:
• Point of Sale (POS)
• Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) systems
• Restrict access to buildings or rooms within buildings
• Livestock identification
• Asset tracking
• Pet ownership identification
• Warehouse management and logistics
• Product tracking in a supply chain
• Product security
• Raw material tracking/parts movement within factories
• Library books check-in/check-out
• Railroad car tracking
• Luggage tracking at airports
Next: RFID Security in General
This article could use somewhat better organization, but still it was one of the better reads in the Design category on this website. I especially liked the part about RFID security. The author gave some good examples of security problems. Actually, they were exciting examples, reminiscent of a good thriller novel. (I'd like to write one based on some of these issues!) An engineer studying this subject likely could get some real work done after reading the book this article comes from.
Is there IEEE or other similar standard for RFID for different applications? As DoD has asked for RFID for their military procurement, they should have defined their requirements. Do you think there should be some worldwide body to device common standard for this technology? Common objective and guideline to develop it may make this product more secure and easily adaptable to different users.

FPGA Programming with Linux
Free software licenses and operating systems like GNU/Linux make it possible to learn programming and customize state-of-the-art software in countless ways. Hacking software, however, isn't the last frontier anymore. What if you could hack integrated circuits directly—that is, tell a chip to connect its internal transistors to create exactly the custom, real-time digital hardware you want? This is precisely what you can do with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). In this article, I explain how to do it with nothing else but your Linux computer and an inexpensive development board.
This isn't the first time Linux Journal has covered FPGAs (see Resources), but these devices have made huge progress since those articles were written. Plus, prices for powerful development boards have come down dramatically. Today, you can do really cool things with a $200–$300 FPGA-based board, a typical personal computer and one square foot of desk space. Finally, the FPGA community is now big enough and stable enough to make life much easier for beginners. The major FPGA makers offer text or video tutorials and forums where even newbies can find support. Above all, Web sites like Opencores.org codevelop and release Linux-compatible FPGAs and boards like the EUS 100LX with the same spirit (and licenses) as free software. In summary, the barrier to entry is much lower now than it was even just a couple years ago, making FPGA design both a cool hobby and an affordable and interesting addition to the offerings of even high schools.
A digital integrated circuit (IC) is a chip that deals only with binary digits—meaning signals that can assume only one of two states: 0 or 1, high or low voltage and so on. An FPGA is an IC consisting of one array of digital logic gates. These basic circuits, made up of a few transistors each, instantiate either a flip-flop or lookup tables capable of implementing any boolean function of up to four binary signals. The magic of FPGAs is that the connections among the logic gates (the actual circuit you need) are made at power-up by reading the configuration instructions written into a bit file. Changing the file changes the function of the FPGA.
As flexible as they are, microprocessors are always and only microprocessors: single-purpose hardware that is capable only of executing (relatively slowly) instructions in one machine language. An FPGA, instead, becomes whatever hardware you need. It can morph into a microprocessor, a game console, a real-time IP switch or encryption device, an antitheft server or anything else you can imagine. The only limits are that your circuit cannot require more transistors or external pins than those physically present on the chip, and it can't go faster than the intrinsic propagation delay from gate to gate.
That said, modern FPGAs are powerful enough to let you squeeze several Linux-compatible microprocessors, like the Nios, the PowerPC or the Microblaze, inside them and still have lots of room for your own custom circuits. In many cases, you can load certified CPU designs from libraries and place them on silicon with simple commands, creating very flexible, complete systems inside just one chip.
The major manufacturers of FPGAs and other programmable ICs are Altera and Xilinx, followed by Lattice and Atmel. Although the example in this article uses Xilinx products, the general procedure is the same with all vendors, and all of them have similar boards. In all cases, the design software is closed-source and often expensive, but it is possible to download either free trial versions valid for one or two months, or free versions with reduced functionality but free upgrades and no expiration date.
The current way to design FPGAs is to write a behavioral model in a Hardware Description Language (HDL), like Verilog or VHDL, which supports concurrency and synchronous circuits. Concurrency allows you to create fully parallel, independent processes, each describing how to update some variables continuously. Synchronous circuits, instead, are those made of flip-flops that change their state only on the edge of some clock signal.
After the design has been written and verified with an HDL simulator, a compiler creates a list of all the logic gates and the wires (nets) that must connect them to reproduce the functionality of the HDL model. After this logic synthesis, layout programs read the netlist and several constraints files to find out which logic gates inside the FPGAs must be used and which physical, internal wires must connect them to each other. The end result is the bit file that the FPGA reads at power-up.
The official Xilinx design suite is called ISE Foundation (www.xilinx.com/ise), and the reduced functionality version is called Webpack. Both programs run on Windows, Red Hat Enterprise and SUSE Linux Enterprise (32- or 64-bit). Other Linux distributions may work too, but there is no guarantee.
ISE has a graphical installer where you must accept the software license and enter the key you got after a free registration on the Xilinx Web site. After it's finished, you'll find a script called settings32.sh or settings64.sh in the installation directory—that's the one you have to source to add the Xilinx software to your path. After this, type ise at the prompt to launch the Project Navigator (Figure 1). This is a front end to a bunch of specialized programs, one for each design phase. You also can run most of these back-end utilities from the command line. The Navigator includes a Tcl prompt and, if you select Project→Generate Tcl Script, it will save all the commands you entered through the GUI as a Tcl script.
Other ISE components, like the simulator, the FPGA Editor and ChipScope, have graphical interfaces. You'd use the FPGA Editor to place and connect single gates manually when the software fails to do it according to your specs. ChipScope is like a software oscilloscope with a USB probe. During synthesis, you can add special circuits to your design that will buffer the internal signals you want to see and send them over a USB cable to the ChipScope software for display. We'll see the ISE HDL simulator at work in a moment.
The board I got from Xilinx for this article is the Spartan-3AN Starter Kit (Figure 2), based on the Spartan XC3S700AN FPGA (Figure 3), which contains about 700K system gates. Around it there are several memory chips, a 50MHz onboard clock, a connector for an external clock and several extra components, from D/A and A/D converters to generic I/O pins, assorted LEDs, sliders and push buttons and, finally, a two-line LCD display. The ports (Figure 4), are enough to make a full-custom Linux PC out of this board: 10/100 Ethernet/PHY, USB, keyboard, VGA, serial and stereo mini-jack for PWM audio. A universal power adapter and USB cable are included, as are four different bit files that demonstrate the capabilities of the FPGA. The corresponding design files are freely downloadable from the Xilinx Web site.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

A house divided: Violence Against Women Act renewal approved under scrutiny
By Kelley Chambers, firstname.lastname@example.com
The U.S. House of Representatives last week approved the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, a legislation that has provided federal assistance to victims of domestic and sexual violence for nearly 20 years.
Reauthorizing the landmark 1994 law, the bill passed with a 286-138 vote and is awaiting President Barack Obama�s signature. It was approved after months of delay, as GOP leaders allowed it on the floor only after its substitute version was defeated in a 166-257 vote.
Introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) in January, the act works to protect victims, prevent abuse and strengthen legal actions taken against offenders. It also helps create and support rape crisis centers, hotlines and community support programs, as well as provides money for investigating and prosecuting violent crimes against women through the Office on Violence Against Women within the Department of Justice.
�We made the Violence Against Women Act our top priority this Congress but it should not have taken this long,� Leahy said in a statement.� �Still, at a time when we face gridlock and stonewalling on even the most compelling issues, I am glad to see that we could find a way to cut through all of that to help victims of violence.�
Although the �ping-pong� effect of politics surrounding the issue can be somewhat disheartening for its ability to slow the process, having the domestic violence issue at the forefront of the federal government is helpful when it comes to increasing overall awareness, said Patrice Tosi, executive director of Hope�s Door in Plano. For 26 years, the domestic abuse crisis center and shelter has provided counseling, legal aid, shelter and transitional housing for victims of domestic violence and their families.
In the past, Hope�s Door has received roughly $50,000 from VAWA funding to pay for its one legal advocate on staff. The shelter is currently not receiving funding for this position, however, due in part to the bill stalling in Congress, but mostly due to the fact that it receives funding for the position through other government grants.
�The real advantage we�ve encountered has been increased awareness just from having the bill,� Tosi said. �It�s bringing the issue out. It�s a silent epidemic because nobody talks about it. But it crosses all economic statuses and crosses all boundaries. If the federal government is bringing it up, we�re finally having that awareness.�
Although this isn�t the first time Congress has reauthorized the act � it has been renewed twice before since being written by now-Vice President Joe Biden � it is the first time it has received this much non-bipartisanship, said Dr. Calvin Jillson, political science professor at SMU.
This time, the bill came under political fire from Republican lawmakers who opposed new provisions laid out by Democrats, which expand it further to include protections for gay, bisexual or transgender victims of domestic abuse. In addition, the bill also allows American Indian women assaulted on reservations by non-Indians to take their case to tribal courts, something the courts currently do not have jurisdiction over.
�The original passage of the act did have bipartisan support, and on the face of it you�d think it always would because no one favors violence against women,� Jillson said. �What happened over the intervening almost 20 years is that lots of issues related to women have become more highly political.�
The failed House bill offered the same provision, but also offered non-Indian defendants the possibility to take their case to a federal court.
Jillson referred to the 2012 election to explain how politics have become the playing field for women�s rights because of the polarization between the parties. Obama beat Mitt Romney at the polls, earning 55 percent of the female vote. Republicans have also lost several high-profile races while receiving backlash from female voters over controversial comments made by candidates about rape or abortion.
Since then, Jillson said, the Republican Party has backed off some to allow approvals of bills like the VAWA and the immigration bill recently passed.
�The parties are separating ideologically but the problem is that Republicans are on the wrong side of the issue in terms of public opinion,� Jillson said. �One of the dangers the Republican Party faces on this issue comes up in a number of different ways. They�re being viewed as not being as interested as Democrats are in protecting women. For social conservatives within the Republican Party, extending additional rights to lesbians and bisexuals is something that they have a great deal of trouble thinking about.�
In addition to the added provisions, some critics of the VAWA look at statistics to back up their claims that the act has proven to be ineffective in reducing violent acts upon women.
Looking back, the act brought about practical changes meant to change law enforcement�s perspective on domestic assault cases as serious crimes rather than private family matters. It also provides grant funding and encourages states to adopt mandatory arrest policies to push abuse cases forward.
According to the Department of Justice, the rate of intimate partner violence dropped 64 percent between 1994 and 2010, a drop pro-VAWA policymakers largely attribute to the law.
This decrease happened at the same time violent crime as a whole fell dramatically nationwide, making it hard to know whether a drop in domestic violence might have happened without the policies adopted under VAWA.
With 3,000 reports of domestic abused being filed in Collin County and 27 percent of cases going unreported, Tosi said she believes VAWA is helping make strides in eradicating violence against women, but there is still much more work to be done.
�Politics shouldn�t be involved in it, it�s about human lives and saving lives,� she said. �It�s taken [politicians] this long to include other sectors of the population and domestic violence is in every relationship. People say VAWA isn�t doing enough and that�s true, but there is still so much to do.�

Depression During Pregnancy
Topic Overview
Depression is common during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. If you have Reference symptoms of depression during pregnancy or are depressed and learn you are pregnant, make a treatment plan with your doctor right away.
If you are being treated for depression and are planning a pregnancy, talk to your doctor ahead of time. You may be able to taper off of antidepressant medicine before your pregnancy, to see how you feel during your first trimester. It's best to be medicine-free, especially during the first trimester. But if you are severely depressed, your doctor will probably want you to stay on your medicine.
Don't ever suddenly stop taking an antidepressant. This can cause difficult emotional and physical symptoms and may also affect your fetus. Your doctor can tell you the best way to taper off of your medicine.
Depression treatment choices during pregnancy
If you are not severely depressed, interpersonal counseling or cognitive-behavioral therapy may be all that you need.
- Interpersonal counseling focuses on your relationship and life adjustments, giving you emotional support and help with problem-solving and goal-setting.
- Reference Cognitive-behavioral therapy Opens New Window helps you take charge of the way you think and feel, while giving you a supportive relationship.
If counseling alone isn't enough, or if your symptoms are severe and disabling, talk to your doctor about other possible treatments:
- Light therapy uses regular doses of bright light (not full-spectrum light, which includes Reference ultraviolet light Opens New Window). Typically, a person having Reference light therapy will sit in front of a high-intensity (2,500- to 10,000-lux) fluorescent lamp, slowly building up to 1 to 2 hours each morning. (Possible side effects include eye strain, headache, feeling "wired," and trouble falling asleep when light therapy is used later in the day.)
- Antidepressant medicine, most often a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), such as fluoxetine (Prozac) or sertraline (Zoloft). Fluoxetine and citalopram (Celexa) are not often used during breast-feeding, because they can pass into breast milk in high levels. If you are planning to breast-feed and are taking an antidepressant, talk about this with your doctor.
Women who take an SSRI during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. But not treating depression can also cause problems during pregnancy and birth. If you become pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of taking an SSRI against the risks of not treating depression.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Reference advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. Talk to your doctor about these possible side effects and the Reference warning signs of suicide.
Additional measures you can take against depression
Whether you use counseling, medicine, light therapy, or a combination, be sure to also get regular exercise, healthy food, fresh air, and time with people who care about you. These are all important parts of preventing and treating depression and having a healthy pregnancy.
For information about depression after childbirth, see the topic Postpartum Depression.

LARAMIE, Wyo. — A judge in Laramie is scheduled to hear arguments on whether the University of Wyoming can continue to conduct its search for a new president in secret.
UW and its Board of Trustees are asking District Judge Jeffrey Donnell at the Wednesday hearing to change his Jan. 23 ruling that UW release the names of finalists.
The state Legislature this session fast-tracked a new law that changes Wyoming's open records and meetings law so that the selection of UW and state community college presidents can be closed to the public.
Several media outlets had filed a lawsuit challenging the decision by the UW trustees to hold a confidential search for a replacement for retiring President Tom Buchanan.
Donnell sided with the media, saying the finalist names should be made public.

Dozen people temporarily displaced after small Manchester fire
District Fire Chief Mark Pelletier said a maintenance man smelled smoke at the 383 Merrimack St. building and called 911 just before 7 p.m.
The fire was in basement wiring running underneath a first floor joist, he said. Firefighters used a chain saw to cut out a section of the beam because of fire damage.
Pelletier said about 12 tenants reside at the six-unit apartment building (one apartment is vacant) and all had to find alternate housing because power was cut to the building.
They will not be able to return until an electrician is brought in and repairs are made, according to Pelletier. He estimated damage at $3,000.

This kid has so much upside it's scary...oh, and he's a damn good kid too. Welcome aboard to the next All-American DE from OU.
The following users like this post: Al F***n Swearingen
When you look at Mike Onuoha, think Justin Blackmon. By that, I mean you've got a kid who's looked good but not astonishing on film so far, but he's literally 100% upside. Aldon Smith clone, IMO.
Once DGB committs, it will be a double **** you, not a **** you to Mizzou.
OU's last 3 DE commits
Nathan Hughes 6'6 260 pounds
Charles Tapper 6'5 240 pounds
Onuoha 6'6 or 6'7 depending on site 230 pounds.
But Onuoha has so much upside its crazy plus he has really really long arms which is very good for a p**** rusher. This guy reminds me so much of Jason Pierre Paul

He's obviously got the frame to add the weight. Don't be surprised if he redshirts next year and adds 30 pounds within 2 years of being at OU. When this kid gets into a true strength and conditioning program and starts eating all of the food provided to athletes, he'll quickly fill out. The only thing he has to do is work and eat his **** off. Who knows what his work ethic is like, but if he's got the drive and desire to be great, nothing will stop him with his raw athleticism and 30 additional pounds. Very excited about his potential, but it is just that -- "potential."

Michael is a good get! He will be a beast in a couple of years!
I hope you boys are right about him and his potential. Looks to be a red shirt and scout player for the next couple of years. I am more excited about some of the juco kids that will make an instant impact..
Saw this kid play as a Frosh at ESF wasnt much of a WR but stood out physically, DE seems to have been better fit!
Can he play basketball? calling Mr. Kruger...calling Mr. Kruger
I hope he can stay eligible. He has a ton of potential.
Only because he will be taking 1000 classes for the next four years...

Really COD? Again?
Posted by bombom53 on May 7, 2012 3:14 PM
I am a long time Call Of Duty fan, have been since the beginning. I have owned every COD ever made, and prided myself on my collection. When I heard people dissing the game, or talking about how Battlefield was better, I would always come to COD's defense. When I heard the new addition to this fantastic series was being released, I was genuine thrilled. It was all I talked about for days. Then the trailer came.I watched that clock count down... Getting closer... And closer... And finally, it hit 0. Then my Dreams were shattered. 5 seconds into the trailer and my mind was blown; not because it was awesome, but because for the 6th year in a row, Call of Duty was using the same graphics engine. It seems silly to me that a game as praised and anticipated as COD was using 6 year old graphics, when games like Battlefield 3 are using realist 3D engines designed for maximum realism. If COD continues down this path...well...I'm afraid it may become obsolete. These are just the thoughts of a single man, let me know what you think about this subject as well. Thanks.

CD (Item 604781) Columbia/Get On Down, 1976 — Condition: New Copy
A funky fusion classic from guitarist Wah Wah Watson – his only album as a leader, despite countless appearances as a sideman on 70s soul, jazz, and pop sessions! The album's got a really wonderful sort of west coast groove – one that takes bits of spacey fusion, bassy funk, and mellower soul – and wraps them up with a fresh and imaginative approach, not to mention plenty of wah wah work on guitar! Players on the set are a superstar array of the best talents in Watson's field – and include Bennie Maupin, Herbie Hancock, Dave Grusin, Joe Sample, and The Waters, who sing vocals on a few cuts. The set includes the killer instrumental "Bubbles", one of our favorite mellow grooves ever – plus the tracks "Goo Goo Wah Wah", "My Love For You Comes & Goes", "Good Friends", "Love Ain't Somethin", and "Sunset Boulevard". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

So for a couple of weeks now dd1 has been acting like a tiny teenager( mood swings galore) anyway onight i heard her crying in bed so i went to see what was wrong.
She said she was crying because she remembers what it was like being little. I asked her what she meant and she said 'i remember when we had the tree in the backyard, now it's gone. When we went to the playground and we didn't have a trampoline, it was so fun" and kept crying!
WTF she sounded like a 40 year old reminiscing about how good her old life was before she got old
So i was just wondering if this emotional stuff is normal at this age and how long does it last?

Comments about BILLABONG WAYS TO GO SWEATER:
I love this sweater! I usually wear a small but I ordered this in a medium because I like my sweaters baggy, it was perfect! It is a little longer but so cozy and lovely. I got it in the pink color and its very femenine and cute. It is very see-through! Just a heads up! you will need to wear a shirt or a bandeau underneath it. But overall a great sweater!

Anatoli Tavern in Agathias, Palekastro |
Restaurant and Taverns in East Crete | |||
Anatoli Taverna, Agathias Palekastro... At the end of the road from Sitia to Agathias Village, through stunning mountain scenery is a little piece of Crete as it was in the 80s. At the eastern side of the village you find Anatoli, a traditional taverna run by Nektarios Mastorakis and his mother Maria Mastoraki. They offer traditional and fresh food, all with stunning views along one of the most picturesque and unspoilt coastlines in east Crete. Situated in a secluded region far from the crowds of holiday makers and resorts found elsewhere, but just 20min drive from the town of Sitia with its beautiful streets and Fortress, handicraft and modern shops and the once weekly market. At Anatoli Taverna you enjoy the panoramic view to the Kambos plain and to the well known beaches of Kouremenos and Hiona and you can fall asleep to the sound of the Meltemi wind after a perfect meal of freshly caught and perfectly cooked fish and a carafe of local wine. The place is perfect for those whose idea of nightlife is counting the stars, and who don't need any special activity other than watching the Cretan landscape. Anatoli is a traditional taverna for travelers who want to enjoy a Cretan meal in an idyllic and quiet location. Other dishes include a range of grilled meats and traditional vegetarian dishes, including salads and other dishes. 150m south from Anatoli Taverna are the Anatoli rooms, owned by the sister of Nektarios, Chrisoula with five simple-but-comfortable balconied rooms, all with views to the beaches and mountains. The unique environment of Anatoli taverna and Agathias village, the hospitality of the staff in combination with the unique Cretan tastes promises you an unforgettable experience.

Ever since I picked up a clarinet in the Central School band, I've had a soft spot for great big jazz bands. While my friends were lining up for the Stones and the Dead and some others we've blissfully forgotten by now, I was heading off to see Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson and Buddy Rich. And I couldn't figure out why everybody else wasn't doing the same.
Let me say right off that the term "Big Band" was much misunderstood, then and now. The general public still associates it with the Swing Era, and nine hours of "Ken Burns Jazz" didn't do much to dissuade them. But the truth is, by the seventies most of the big bands had evolved from dance to performance bands, featuring textured compositions by the likes of Basie, Ellington and Kenton, dynamic originals and arrangements by Thad Jones, Herman and jazz covers of everyone from the Beatles to Frank Zappa. All that, plus knock-em-dead fireworks from the horn sections. If you have ever picked up a horn at any level, nothing beats the excitement of sitting in the middle of a sax or trumpet section, whaling away.
Over the next six weeks here in LA we've got a bunch of terrific big bands coming through town, including Arturo Sandoval, Gerald Wilson, Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band and Christian McBride's Big Band. Here's my review of Cuban trumpeter Sandoval, from International Review of Music:
Live Jazz: The Arturo Sandoval Big Band at The Federal
By Michael Katz
The spirit of Dizzy Gillespie was much in evidence Wednesday night when trumpeter Arturo Sandoval brought a distinctly L.A.-flavored big band to The Federal in NoHo. It wasn't just the fact that Sandoval's new CD, Dear Diz, is a love letter to his late mentor. It was the combination of virtuosity, humor and generosity of spirit that made Gillespie beloved among musicians and audiences.
Sandoval can still reach the stratosphere with his piercing solos, but during the evening he explored the full range of the trumpet, reaching down deep on occasion, growling in the lower registers before leaping upward with startling cadenzas. He began with one of his older compositions, "Funky Cha Cha," which allowed the band, comfortably ensconced on The Federal's stage, to stretch out. That included the redoubtable Bob Sheppard on tenor, Andy Martin on trombone and a young pianist from Sri Lanka (by way of USC), Mahesh Balasooriya. Balasooriya sparkled throughout the set, providing a nuanced counterpoint to Sandoval's performance.
From that point on the spotlight was on Gillespiana. Sandoval began with a sometimes hilarious explanation of be-bop, which featured him scat-o-lizing (patent pending) through the self-named tune, covering every instrument in Diz's band. The actual performance of "Be-Bop" was a revelation. Gordon Goodwin's arrangement started with a gently swinging presentation of the theme, Sandoval's trumpet muted, exhibiting the in-the-pocket feel we've come to know from the Big Phat Band (several of whose members were in this group). Then the tempo picked up, with the saxophone section taking over and Arturo out front with a fiery riff. The band then backed down into a swinging groove, with Sandoval closing it out — not satisfied with the final cadenza, he took a mulligan and nailed it the second time, to the delight of the crowd.
As the set progressed, Sandoval shared the stage with terrific soloists. Trumpeter Gary Grant joined him out front for "And Then She Stopped," taking Sandoval's part from his recording with Diz, while Arturo echoed Gillespie's solos. Then singer Becky Martin joined the band for a lush tune entitled "Sway," which brought to mind the Cuban mambo bands.
The evening's most poignant moments were provided by Sandoval's vocals, as he performed his composition "Every Day I Think Of You." His voice a tad raspy, his lyrics heartfelt, he conveyed his love for Gillespie, who brought him to the international stage and helped him escape the Castro regime in 1990. Pianist Balasooriya provided a perfectly understated accompaniment. There was even a moment of pathos as Sandoval's trumpet solo was interrupted by a car alarm. Sandoval took it in stride, as if the alarm was just a slightly out of tune student.
Sandoval then invited another dynamic young LA musician, saxophonist Zane Musa, to the stage. Musa unwrapped his soprano and what followed was a whirlwind rendition of "Cherokee." Watching Musa's fingers flying over the soprano's keys was a wonderment, and he did it with complete tonal control over the sometimes challenging instrument. Sandoval, meanwhile, took advantage of the old be-bop favorite to rip off some of the cadenzas the audience had been waiting for.
The set ended with the Diz classic "Woody'N You," which Sandoval identified by its original title, "Algo Bueno." The arrangement by saxophonist Dan Higgins was reminiscent of Goodwin's earlier work – solid, swinging, in-the-pocket. It featured solos by Higgins and LA trombone stalwart Scott Martin. Sandoval, closing out the show, brought his trumpet down to an almost guttural lower register, then soared upwards for the finish.
The crowd, which filled the upstairs room at the Federal, was on its feet, boding well for the future of the venue as a jazz magnet.

(WICHITA, Kan.)
Advertisement |
We've all had them. That annoying neighbor who lets their dog bark at all hours or maybe that guy who decides to mow his lawn at 6 a.m. every Saturday morning when you're trying to sleep in.
We get it. These are not earth-shattering issues or big crimes but rather little neighborhood nuisances that can affect your quality of life.
Call it human nature. We smile and wave to our neighbor and say "hi" but it's uncomfortable telling them about a problem. Why?
"I think most people don't want the confrontation," said Wichita Police Sergeant Travis Rakestraw. "Most people don't want to tell someone something is bugging them."
Rakestraw says barking dog issues are one of the top complaints. The City of Wichita has put together a barking dog packet which details how to make a complaint, suggestions on how to speak with a neighbor about a problem and offers ideas on why dogs may bark and how to stop the behavior.
If you call police, an officer will talk to your neighbor and let them know about the problem. If it is an ongoing issue, you can file a complaint. Since 2008, 74 barking dog cases have been filed in Wichita municipal court.
If your neighborhood has a homeowners association, it can also be a way for you to lodge a complaint. John VanWalleghen is president of the Benjamin Hills/Pleasant Valley Neighborhood Association in Wichita. His neighborhood has been around for years – before the days of neighborhood covenants. If someone has a complaint, the neighborhood association will address it.
"If we have a problem we have to try and talk to our neighbors and get them to resolve whatever it is," said VanWalleghen.
The association will mail out a letter to the homeowner. It usually includes the city code ordinance which backs up the complaint.
"Most people don't like to do direct confrontation with a neighbor over a problem," said VanWalleghen. "That's why the neighborhood association can step in and try and be a neutral party."
VanWalleghen says if the association can't resolve an issue, members reluctantly bring in city code officials.
"We don't want to be picking on someone," said VanWalleghen. "We just want the neighborhood to look good and be a good place to live."
VanWalleghen encourages neighbors to set up a neighborhood association – even if it's just a few blocks of homes. Wichita Independent Neighborhoods, Inc. can help you get started. You can contact the group at (316) 260-8000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you live in a newer neighborhood, you may have a hired management company which handles complaints. OMNI Management Services takes care of about 40 neighborhoods in Wichita.
"We are an unbiased third party," said Tara Parker-Tong, OMNI Division President. "We don't live in the neighborhood."
If there's a complaint, OMNI will send a letter to the homeowner alerting them to the issue. The letter also includes a reminder of the covenants and suggestions on how to fix the situation. Parker-Tong says reactions vary.
"Some seem pretty embarrassed to get that communication and want to fix it," said Parker- Tong. "At the other end of the spectrum there are people who say 'you can't tell me how to live my home because I bought it'. But we go back to the covenants and show them you agreed to this when you purchased your home."
OMNI also tries to find a compromise instead of fining a homeowner.
"We really try and educate and find a solution," said Parker-Tong.
Everyone we spoke with emphasized how it's all in the approach.
"If you are tactful and respectful and just try to get them to understand your side," said Sgt. Rakestraw. "We don't want people going over and banging on the door in the middle of the night yelling at someone about their dog barking. I want people to address the problem in a proper manner."
Even people we talked with who admitted they were hesitant to confront a neighbor said they would want to know if they were the annoying nuisance.
In the end, it's more than a barking dog or unmowed lawn.
"If neighbors get along they communicate," said Rakestraw. "They start building a relationship, they start to care for each other and they start to respect each other. It makes a healthy neighborhood."

Two former Southern Miss tennis coaches were cited for unethical conduct after the NCAA said they promised impermissible benefits to athletes — including offering $5,000 and the use of a car to one athlete — and engaging in academic misconduct. The NCAA also ruled that one of the coaches asked a player to lie during the investigation.
The NCAA said the coaches refused to cooperate during its investigation and withheld information during the school's internal investigation.
The program's probation period runs from Jan. 30, 2013 to Jan. 29, 2017.

Joel Freimark hosts The Daily Guru, which is a simply produced talk show that gives recommendations and commentaries about musicians and songs, or anything along the music genre for that matter. In fact, it's so simply produced that it's boring. And I'm a massive music lover, always eager to learn more about this incredible art form. I, so badly, wanted to like this series.
Freimark clearly knows a ton of cool stuff about music and musicians. There is no problem with a lack of content in each episode. It's that Freimark speaks a mile a second. Each episode is loaded with a ton of unnecessary hard cuts. And… there's no music in the show. NO MUSIC!
Episode after episode, Freimark recommends song after song and he doesn't give us even a tiny sample of the music for that song. I don't understand why he doesn't. It's not like the musicians who own any of his recommended songs will come after him with breech of copyright. After all, he's promoting them and recommending that his viewers listen and own these songs.
Once in a while, Freimark turns an episode into a history lesson about one musician or another. But no pictures of any of the musicians are inserted in the episodes. No music samples for any of the musicians are included either. Quelle surprise! All we get are hard, fast cuts of Freimark's head and shoulders – cut after cut after cut, Freimark, Freimark, Freimark.
(click this image to watch the show)
I have to give this show a totally squashed pumpkin. In its current state, it's unwatchable. But, it has potential to be a great show with a few tweaks in the production. Hopefully, the producers of this series will give it the minor changes The Daily Guru needs in order to be a decently watchable program.

Ameridose employees were notified of the layoffs Thursday.
A company spokesman says the notice affects 650 employees at Ameridose and 140 employees at its marketing and support arm. He says a small number will be retained amid an ongoing product recall. Ameridose LLC says it hopes the layoffs will be temporary.
The Westborough company paid its employees since it voluntarily closed for inspection Oct. 10 because of problems at the New England Compounding Center pharmacy, a sister company. The meningitis outbreak has been linked to a steroid made by the NECC, in Framingham, near Boston.
Regulators last week asked Ameridose to remain closed until Nov. 19.

The Syracuse Crunch has turned what was a great season into one shadowed by concern and doubt. What's happening?
Being a Syracuse Crunch fan with this group will never, ever be boring.
The Crunch are coming off back-to-back shutouts to play their first of two games before their Christmas break.
The Crunch are playing the Phantoms for the 4th time this season.
Sixteen different players combined for a total of sixteen goals in three games this past weekend. Crunch fans are finally feeling the love!
In their second game of their three games in three nights, the Syracuse Crunch are facing a team that lost 5-2 last night at home.
The Syracuse Crunch played the Adirondack Phantoms and lost their second in a row at home last Sunday in a matinee game. Tonight, they face the Phantoms again, this time, in Glens Falls. After...
A rough weekend for the Syracuse Crunch surprisingly doesn't damage their place in the standings too badly.
The Syracuse Crunch played the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and lost yesterday, 4-1. Dustin Tokarski was the losing goalie of record, and Cory Conacher had the lone goal for the Crunch. Today,...
With an active win-streak of 27 games, the Norfolk Admirals run is unprecedented in hockey and comparable to other streaks in other sport leagues.

I've been reading WAP's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration and came across the section where he talks about the importance of high-vitamin butter.
It seems that the higher the vitamins, the darker the color. I checked my KerryGold butter, and it seems quite pale, even though it is supposedly pastured. So, how much am I missing out? Are there any other indicators of good butter? KerryGold butter doesn't get hard, no matter how long it has been in the fridge, unlike my old butters. Is that a good sign?
I'm in southern California, any recommendations for butter around here (or nation-wide brands)?
