Dublin's Quintez Smith continues to rack up postseason honors
January 26, 2:43 AM
Black College Sports Examiner
Gregory Smith
At the rate Quintez Smith is going, he may not find enough space in Dublin, Georgia for all of his awards and postseason honors.
The latest?
The cornerback for Shaw University was named to the D2Football.com All-America Team, which honors NCAA Division II players. Smith made first team and was the only player from an HBCU to do so.
Smith was also honored by the 100% Wrong Club, an Atlanta-based non-profit organization that has been honoring athletes from historically black colleges and universities since 1934. The group will honor its selections during its celebration weekend Feb. 5-6.
Among Smith's other accomplishments, he played in three all-star games -- the HBCU Bowl, East Coast Bowl and the Cactus Bowl.
He was named to the SBN Black College All-America Team, as well as the BASN HBCU All-America Team, both of which honor black college athletes from Division I and II HBCUs. He also earned inclusion on the American Football Coaches Association 1st Team All-America squad.
Smith set one Division II record and tied two more this season. He set the single-game record for most return yards after interceptions with 194 against Elizabeth City State. He tied the record for most interceptions returned for touchdowns in a game with three against Fayetteville State. He also matched the most interceptions returned for scores in a season with four.

The journey will continue for one Crowder Lady 'Riders softball player and two Roughriders baseball players next season, as the Allison Tonyan, Sam Hilliard and Mark Reyes inked letters of intent to continue their collegiate careers in the future.
The journey will continue for one Crowder Lady 'Riders softball player and two Roughriders baseball players next season, as the Allison Tonyan, Sam Hilliard and Mark Reyes inked letters of intent to continue their collegiate careers in the future.
Tonyan, a Columbia, Mo., native and a sophomore-to-be for the Lady 'Riders, is headed to the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, where she'll help anchor the starting rotation for the Lady Jennies. In her freshman campaign at Crowder, Tonyan went 13-7 on the mound with a 2.96 ERA over 1202/3 innings with 61 strikeouts and 60 walks. The right hander also hit .600 at the plate in just five games, but her calling will be on the mound at UCM.
"It's really exciting," Tonyan said. "I really liked the coaches (at UCM) and I liked playing against them, you could tell (the players) all worked hard. They're committed to winning and working together. I've really learned a lot being (at Crowder) and what it takes being tough on the mound."
Crowder coach Lori Videmschek said Tonyan is a key asset to the Lady 'Riders.
"She's one of our top pitchers that we have in our program," Videmschek said. "Last year she really matured and developed as a pitcher, and the last part of the season she pretty much had an ERA the last three weeks of (zero) which is really awesome, especially the level that we're playing. She has a work ethic that's hard to see with pitchers."
While Tonyan has already spent a year on the Crowder campus, the day's other signees are fresh faces to campus, and are highly touted to help the club's success in 2014. Hilliard, a 2012 graduate of Mansfield (Texas) High School, comes to the Roughriders as a transfer from Navarro College. Coach Travis Lallemand said he had some help finding Hilliard through his connection with the Arlington A's, an elite summer traveling team that comes to Neosho on a yearly basis as part of the Premier Baseball World Series.
The left handed pitcher will help fill the void left when the Roughriders lost 2013 starters Preston Tarkington (Ole Miss), Jon Woodcock (Virginia Tech) and Chris Caudle (Central Arkansas).
"That's what that summer league did for us," Lallemand said. "It gave me an opportunity to meet Dave Acton, and he told us about Sam. It took us a while, but when I was out in Oakland going to watch (Mike Kickham's major league debut) he visited and Coach Lisi, Coach Sawyer and Coach Williams showed him around and sold him on the place, and they did a really good job on their part. He's getting the same opportunity (as Reyes), coming into a school and being one of the frontline guys coming out in the fall and getting a lot of exposure for us."
Hilliard said he's looking forward to what he hopes is a big season for the Roughriders this year before moving on to the Shockers.
"This fall it's starting to get really rough for the post fall workouts and stuff," Hilliard said. "This year, we're supposed to do big things. Obviously, the goal is to win a national championship, but we've got to take it one step at a time.
"Coach (Todd) Butler has been really good to me," he added about Wichita State. "I just felt a really good vibe from the school, not to mention their facilities. Their baseball field is really incredible, and their facilities are awesome."
Signing a letter of intent is nothing new for Crowder newcomer Reyes. A highly touted recruit out of high school, Reyes, a 46th round draft pick by the Baltimore Orioles (1,385th overall) in the 2011 Major League Baseball Rule IV Draft, comes to Crowder as a transer from the University of Arkansas, where he pitched in six games for the Razorbacks as a freshman in 2012. Following that campaign, Reyes underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the entire 2013 season.
He'll be looking to bounce back with the Roughriders before rejoining the Division I ranks with Southern Mississippi.
A native of Hot Springs Village, Ark., Reyes is a graduate of Jessieville High School.
"It's really exciting signing," Reyes said. "This is my third time signing, so I'm kind of used to it. If this was a four-year school I'd definitely choose this for a four-year school, but it's a two-year, so I've got to move on. I thought Southern Miss was a better fit (than other options).
"That was definitely a plan I had coming in was to sign early and get it out of the way so I didn't have to worry about where I'm going next year and I could focus on baseball."
Lallemand said Reyes, a southpaw, is expected to be a big asset to the pitching staff.
"We knew coming in we had a legitimate No. 1 type guy and he would have a semester in the fall to be, once everybody knew where he was at, would have an opportunity to sign him," Lallemand said. "He's been really good for us all fall and we're excited for him, excited for him to get the opportunity, obviously."

Lack of flexibility interfering with family balance is major factor why relatively few women own quick-service food franchises.
As a consumer insights analyst for Oklahoma City-based Sonic Corp., the nation's largest chain of drive-in restaurants, Kim Mathe looked at the number of women-owned quick-service restaurant franchises and was surprised there were so few of them, especially when the trend of women owners in all businesses has been steadily increasing in recent years, according to a 2008 Center for Women's Business Research report that indicates 10.1 million women owned businesses in the United States, most (53%) in the services industry.

It is well known that non-human animals respond to information encoded in vocal signals, and the same can be said of humans. Specifically, human voice pitch affects how speakers are perceived. As such, does voice pitch affect how we perceive and select our leaders? To answer this question, we recorded men and women saying 'I urge you to vote for me this November'. Each recording was manipulated digitally to yield a higher- and lower-pitched version of the original. We then asked men and women to vote for either the lower- or higher-pitched version of each voice. Our results show that both men and women select male and female leaders with lower voices. These findings suggest that men and women with lower-pitched voices may be more successful in obtaining positions of leadership. This might also suggest that because women, on average, have higher-pitched voices than men, voice pitch could be a factor that contributes to fewer women holding leadership roles than men. Additionally, while people are free to choose their leaders, these results clearly demonstrate that these choices cannot be understood in isolation from biological influences.
1. Introduction
Multiple lines of research show that animal vocalizations contain information about the signaller, and that receivers of vocal signals are influenced by this information. For example, call type signals predator type in monkeys [1], pulse rate signals species identity in frogs [2] and the amplitude of song signals threat of attack in songbirds [3].
More specifically, certain types of vocal signals can inform receivers about a signaller's fighting ability or social dominance because acoustic properties of the signal reliably predict traits, such as size and strength. Because these vocalizations are directly related to physiological or physical properties of the caller, they cannot be faked or exaggerated [4,5]. The 'wahoo' call produced by male baboons (Papio cynocephalus), for example, is physiologically costly to produce, and acoustic features of 'wahoos' predict dominance rank, age, and stamina [6]. Vocal characteristics can also predict body size, such as the temporal components of the aggressive song of house crickets (Acheta domesticus), the fundamental frequency of male toad calls (Bufo bufo) and the formant dispersion of domestic dog growls (Canis familiaris). Because larger body size is advantageous in aggressive encounters, male receivers can use information in vocal signals to assess opponents [7–9], and female receivers can use vocal qualities to choose mates that are genetically and physically superior [10–12].
Vocal signals also influence the behaviour of human receivers. More specifically, a growing literature shows that human voice pitch (i.e. 'highness' or 'lowness' as determined predominantly by fundamental frequency) is highly sexually dimorphic (on average twice as high in women compared with men) [13], and strongly influences how speakers are perceived. For example, men with lower-pitched voices are perceived as 'more attractive' [14–18], physically stronger [14,19,20] and 'socially dominant' [17,21–23]. For women, by contrast, higher-pitched voices are perceived as more attractive [24–26], whereas lower-pitched female voices are perceived to be 'socially dominant' [27,28]. Knowing that human voice pitch influences perceptions of the speaker in these myriad ways, we suspect that this signal could influence how humans select their leaders.
(a) Does voice pitch influence the selection of leaders?
The selection of leaders is the main mechanism that the members of a society have for affecting how they will be governed. Ideally, this critical choice should be made with great care, by thoughtfully comparing the preferences of those who seek leadership positions with one's own preferences. However, within the context of modern democracies, most citizens are not politically engaged [29]. Consequently, the selection of leaders is often made based on impressionistic judgements. Some of these decisions are quite reasoned, such as simply selecting the candidate of the party one identifies with [30]. However, voters can be also influenced by factors that may or may not be correlated with leadership capacity, such as the physical attractiveness of the candidate [31], or the outcome of a recent local sporting event [32]. Similarly, Todorov et al. [33] show that voters make judgements about the competence of candidates after viewing their faces for only 1 s, and Little et al. [34] show that vote choices are influenced by perceptions of masculinity and femininity in male faces. While these judgements about faces are shown to predict the outcomes of actual elections at a rate better than chance in both studies [33,34], it is unclear whether facial appearance is an accurate reflection of leadership capacity [33, p. 1625].
Despite evidence that voice pitch influences impressionistic judgements of the speaker, only one study, to our knowledge, has examined whether this vocal signal affects the selection of leaders [17]. In an experiment, recordings of nine United States presidents (five Democrats and four Republicans) were manipulated to yield a higher- and lower-pitched version of the original. Subjects were asked to vote for the higher- or lower-pitched version of each of the nine pairs; they voted for the lower-pitched voices at a rate greater than chance. These vote choices correlated with the perception of the voters that speakers with lower-pitched voices have greater 'integrity' and 'physical prowess'.
In a second experiment, Tigue et al. manipulated novel male voices rather than those of known leaders. As in the first experiment, subjects were presented with pairs of voices, and asked to vote for either the higher- or lower-pitched voice of each pair. The lower- and higher-pitched voices of each pair were spoken by different men. As in the presidential voices experiment, subjects voted for lower-pitched voices at a rate greater than chance.
Given the lack of research on the link between vote choice and voice pitch, Tigue et al. [17] was an important first step in determining how this vocal signal might affect electoral success. However, important questions remain as to how voice pitch might affect the selection of leaders. The most salient of these is whether voters are influenced by the pitch of female voices. It is critical to understand how voters perceive the voices of female candidates; while women have been traditionally under-represented in leadership roles, they are playing an increasingly important role in the democratic governing process. In 2004, Hillary Clinton was arguably the first major political party female candidate in the history of the United States to have a legitimate chance at winning the office of president. Likewise, while in the 1970s women made up less than 5 per cent of the legislative branches on the federal and state level in the United States, as of 2011 women comprise over 15 per cent of the United States Congress and almost 25 per cent of the state-level legislatures [35]. Similar trends are seen in other nations.
A second question not tested previously is whether the particular utterances spoken, and the individuals speaking them, affect how voice pitch influences listener perception of potential leaders. In their first experiment, Tigue et al. created stimuli from recordings of United States presidents. This research design could have affected the results in several unexpected ways (i) The speakers were very likely recognized by the subjects. (ii) The study did not account for the political preferences of the subjects. Knowing that vote choice is highly correlated with partisanship [30], those who identify with the Republican Party may have reacted differently to the voices of Democratic presidents than those who identify with the Democratic Party, and vice versa. (iii) While the voices were manipulated experimentally, the content of the utterances varied from president to president (four of which were directly related to foreign policy, whereas the others were not). As such, it is unclear whether the responses to these different voices can be treated as comparable (a test of within-subjects effects was not presented). (iv) The utterances were made by those who successfully won a high-elected office. That is, they may have been perceived to be electable, regardless of voice pitch.
In their second experiment, Tigue et al. used voices with which subjects were not familiar. However, subjects were asked to choose between voices spoken by different men. Consequently, subjects' choices could have been driven by myriad characteristics of the vocalizations other than voice pitch. Additionally, the stimuli were devoid of electorally relevant content. More specifically, the speakers recited 'The Rainbow Speech': 'When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow' [36]. Evidence shows that the content of utterances affects how voice pitch influences perceptions of the speaker. For example, Jones et al. [26] showed that men respond differently to the voice pitch of female voices if the utterance is positive ('I really like you') rather than negative ('I don't really like you'). This leads us to ask whether manipulating the pitch of an electorally relevant utterance can influence voters.
For the reasons described earlier, we examine the results of experiments in which male and female listeners were asked to vote for male and female voices. The speakers were novel to the listeners, they spoke an electorally relevant utterance, and the pairwise choices made by listeners were between stimuli derived the same speakers with the only variation being the pitch of the two voices of each pair. A series of separate experiments tested whether voting on the basis of voice pitch is influenced by perceptions of strength, competence and trustworthiness.
(b) Predictions
We tested the following predictions about how human voice pitch influences perceptions of leaders.
— Because lower-pitched male voices are perceived to be both stronger and more attractive, males with lower-pitched voices will be more likely to be selected as leaders.
— In females, perceptions of attractiveness and dominance are opposed: higher-pitched voices are perceived to be more attractive, but lower-pitched voices are perceived to be more dominant. As such, if humans prefer to select female leaders with lower-pitched voices, then they are influenced by their perception of dominance. Conversely, if humans prefer to select female leaders with higher-pitched voices, then they are influenced by their perception of attractiveness.
— In line with Tigue et al. [17], we expect that in an election scenario lower-pitched male voices will be perceived to be stronger, more competent and more trustworthy. While there are no existing studies of perceptions of female voice pitch in the domain of elections, lower-pitched female voices are perceived to be 'socially dominant' [27,28]. As such, we expect that in an election scenario lower-pitched female voices will also be perceived to be stronger, more competent and more trustworthy.
2. Material and methods
(a) Experimental stimuli
Seventeen women and 10 men were recorded saying 'I urge you to vote for me this November'. Human voice pitch studies often use recordings of men and women speaking the common English vowels (A, E, I, O and U), or the 'The Rainbow Speech' as in Tigue et al. [17], as experimental stimuli in order to measure speech perception in the absence of any context. By contrast, the 'vote for me' utterance adds an electorally relevant, yet partisan neutral, context to the experiment. Women ranged in age from 21 to 60 years () and men ranged in age from 20 to 55 years (). Voices were recorded as .wav files in an acoustic systems anechoic chamber using a Shure SM57 microphone and a Marantz PMD660 solid state recorder. Sampling was at 44.1 kHz. Each audio file was inspected aurally and also visually using the Syrinx acoustic analysis program (v. 2.6h; www.syrinxpc.com) to ensure that all utterances were free from speech errors or non-speech noise. Using Engineering Design's Signal acoustic analysis program (v. 4.02.04), the amplitude of each selected utterance was normalized to 2 V.
We used the PRAAT phonetic analysis program (v. 5.1.43; [37]) to measure the pitch of each recorded voice. The pitch of female and male voices ranged from 162 to 207 Hz () and 91 to 116 Hz (), respectively. There is no systematic relationship between age and voice pitch among the female (rs15 = −0.27, p = 0.15) or male (rs8 = 0.33, p = 0.35) voices used in this study. Following previous research on voice pitch perception [26], each recording was then altered ±0.5 equivalent rectangular bandwidths (ERBs) with PRAAT, which uses the pitch synchronous overlap add algorithm to make such alterations [37]. That is, each original recording was converted into a pair of recordings, one of higher pitch and one of lower pitch. The ±0.5 ERB manipulation is comparable with a perceived shift of ±20 Hz. ERB was manipulated instead of hertz because the relationship between absolute and perceived pitch in humans is logarithmic. Consequently, a gap of ±20 Hz will be perceived to be greater or smaller depending on the fundamental frequency of the original recording. Manipulation by ERB accounts for the nonlinear relationship between absolute and perceived pitch, and produces a constant perceivable gap between the higher- and lower-pitched sound files regardless of the fundamental frequency of the original recording.
To verify that participants were able to perceive the difference in pitch between each pair of recordings, two separate groups of listeners were asked to identify which voice out of each pair of male and female voices was higher in pitch. Both men (t17 = 15.29, p < 0.01) and women (t44 = 18.21, p < 0.01) were able to correctly identify the higher-pitched female voices. Men (t14 = 14.09, p < 0.01) and women (t14 = 37.04, p < 0.01) were also able to correctly identify the higher-pitched male voices.
(b) Procedures
In one experiment, subjects listened to each pair of female voices through headphones connected to a computer. After listening to each pair, subjects responded to the question, 'If they were running against each other in an election, which voice would you vote for?' The order of the voice pairs—as well as whether the higher- or lower-pitched voice from each pair was heard first—was randomized (an assessment of within-subjects variation is presented in the electronic supplementary material). Subjects marked their responses on a paper questionnaire. A separate sample of subjects used the same procedure to vote for the male voice recordings.
In a separate set of experiments, these same procedures were used to assess subjects' perception of specific characteristics of male and female voices. In each of these experiments, subjects listened to all of the pairs of male and female voices. For each pair of voices, one sample of subjects was asked, 'Which voice is more competent (e.g. capable, experienced, knowledgeable, effective)?' A second sample of subjects was asked, 'Which voice is stronger (e.g. confident, determined, resolute, self-assured)?' A third sample of subjects was asked, 'Which voice is more trustworthy (e.g. honest, straightforward, reliable, believable)?' These three leadership characteristics were chosen after consulting the existing literature on campaigns and elections [33,38–42].
At the end of each experiment, subjects completed a short questionnaire about themselves. These data were used to assess the demographic diversity of the subjects, and to test for between-subjects variation in treatment effects (see the electronic supplementary material).
(c) Participants
A sample of 83 undergraduate students (37 men and 46 women) at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL, USA was recruited to listen to and vote for the female voices during the spring of 2011. A separate sample of 89 passers-by (49 men and 40 women) in the student union building at Duke University, Durham, NC, USA was recruited to listen to and vote for the male voices during the summer of 2011. At that same time, three separate samples of 70 passers-by (35 men and 35 women in each) in the student union building at Duke University were recruited to listen to and select which voice of each pair was more competent, strong and trustworthy. After participating, listeners recruited at the University of Miami received course credit. Listeners recruited at Duke University received a $5.00 incentive payment after participating.
(d) Method of analysis
For each analysis, the listener is the unit of analysis. Each sample of listeners was analysed independently. Forced choices were coded 0 if the listener selected the lower-pitched voice, and 1 if the higher-pitched voice was selected. The average of each forced choice yields a summary preference ratio ranging from 0 to 1, whereby higher values indicate a stronger preference for the higher-pitched voices, and lower values indicate a stronger preference for the lower-pitched voices. To assess listener preferences, two-tailed one-sample t-tests were used to compare the average of the sample's preference ratio with 0.50 (i.e. no preference for higher- or lower-pitched voices). These tests were conducted in the R statistical computing environment (v. 2.12.2).
3. Results and discussion
(a) Do listeners prefer female leaders with lower-pitched voices?
The results of the female candidate election (figure 1) show that both men (t36 = −3.44, p < 0.01) and women (t45 = −2.87, p < 0.01) voted more frequently for lower-pitched female voices.
These findings raise an important question: if higher-pitched female speakers are perceived as more attractive [24–26], why are lower-pitched female speakers perceived to be better leaders? The results of the second set of experiments offer an answer (table 1). Both men and women find lower-pitched female voices to be more competent (male listeners: t34 = −6.36, p < 0.01; female listeners: t34 = −6.52, p < 0.01), stronger (male listeners: t34 = −7.20, p < 0.01; female listeners: t34 = −4.57, p < 0.01) and more trustworthy (male listeners: t34 = −5.00, p < 0.01; female listeners: t34 = −6.49, p < 0.01). This last finding is novel, given that feminized women's faces are perceived to be more trustworthy [43]. By contrast, in the context of this experiment masculinized (i.e. lower-pitched) female voices are perceived to be more trustworthy. These differences in the judgement of the trustworthiness of women's faces and voices might reflect a genuine difference in how humans perceive conspecific faces and voices. However, they could also be a product of the specific context generated by the 'vote for me' stimulus. That is, when it comes to the specific case of an election, we may perceive masculinized female voices to be more trustworthy. Whether the same is true of masculinized female faces remains to be tested.
(b) Do listeners prefer male leaders with lower-pitched voices?
In line with Tigue et al. [17], the results of the male candidate election (figure 1) show that both men (t48 = −2.29, p = 0.03) and women (t39 = −3.46, p < 0.01) voted more frequently for lower-pitched male candidates.
The results of the candidate characteristic experiments show that while men and women find lower-pitched female voices to be more trustworthy, the same cannot be said of male voices (male listeners: t34 = −1.35, p = 0.19; female listeners: t34 = 0, p = 1; table 1). Vukovic et al. [44] also found that women do not judge the trustworthiness of male voices based on voice pitch. Tigue et al. [17], however, found that lower-pitched voices of former United States presidents are perceived to be more trustworthy. One explanation for this difference between our study and Tigue et al. [17] is the vocal stimuli presented to the listeners. Our 'vote for me' stimulus frames the forced choices within the context of an election. The recordings used by Tigue et al. [17] were general statements about the current state of the country, not electioneering. As such, perceptions of the trustworthiness of male voices could be context-dependent. Vukovic et al. [44] lend credence to this hypothesis, showing that women's perceptions of the trustworthiness of male voices vary with perceptions of how suitable men with lower-pitched voices are for long-term, relative to short-term, relationships. An additional explanation for the difference we find in perceptions of trustworthiness of male and female voices is that men have lower-pitched voices than women, on average [13]. Consequently, even a higher-pitched male voice could still be relatively low enough to convey trustworthiness, at least to the degree that our listeners did not discriminate between the higher- and lower-pitched versions of each pair of voices within the context of an election.
Our data also show that women are not influenced by pitch when asked to judge the competence (t34 = −1.42, p = 0.17) or strength (t34 = −1.45, p = 0.16) of men's voices. The latter seemingly contradicts evidence that lower-pitched voices are perceived to be physically stronger [14,19,20], and that perceptions of masculinity in facial appearance reliably predict hand-grip strength [45]. However, a woman's assessment of a man's strength within the specific electoral context created by the 'vote for me' stimuli could differ from how she would assess physical strength. More specifically, subjects were asked: 'which voice is stronger (e.g. confident, determined, resolute, self-assured)?' This question is framed around 'intellectual' strength rather than physical prowess. In a similar vein, women may just attend to other cues, vocal or otherwise, to assess the strength and competence of men within the context of an election. A final possibility is that from the perceptive of a female listener, any male voice with a fundamental frequency that is within the normal range is low enough to be perceived as competent and strong in the context of an election. This hypothesis makes the testable prediction that women will discriminate between high and low pitch voices if the pitch of the original voice recording falls outside the range of the average male.
Unlike women, men find lower-pitched male voices to be stronger (t34 = −2.46, p = 0.02) and more competent (t34 = −2.04, p = 0.05). Why was male voice pitch salient in the context of strength and competence among men, but not women? A probable answer is that low-voice pitch indicates male threat potential. Men with more masculine voices (i.e. lower pitch and structure of formant frequencies) are larger, physically stronger and more physically aggressive [46]. In this same vein, substantial evidence shows that higher levels of endogenous androgens (e.g. testosterone) affect vocal anatomy, resulting in lower voice pitch [46,47]. Increased androgen levels predict aggressiveness in both humans [48] and non-human animals [49]. While modern political conflict is not physical in nature, testosterone also 'encourages dominant behaviour intended to achieve or maintain high status (implying power, influence and valued prerogatives)' [50, p. 362]. Thus, it is perhaps not surprising that men are more attentive to low-voice pitch as a signal of strength and competence, traits that are likely to be highly salient in the context of male–male competition, be it physical or political.
4. Conclusion
Political commentators are well aware of how the qualities of human voice affect perceptions of leaders, even if their impressions are not based on scientific evidence. To examine this folk wisdom empirically, and to integrate the literatures on voice perception and leadership choice, we asked whether voters are influenced by candidate voice pitch. Our results show that men and women select female leaders with lower voices, probably because both men and women perceive lower-pitched female voices to be more competent, stronger and more trustworthy, attributes that are probably correlated with perceptions of leadership capacity. In line with Tigue et al. [17], our results also show that women and men vote more frequently for lower-pitched male voices. Among women, the preference for lower-pitched male voices could be because women find men with lower voices to be more attractive, a perception that can enhance a candidate's electability [31]. Among men, lower-pitched male voices are perceived to be stronger and more competent, attributes that are probably correlated with perceptions of leadership capacity (and especially so within the context of male–male competition). Future research should continue to examine how these perceptions of leadership capacity might vary under different electoral contexts, such as wartime [17,34] and economic crisis.
These findings have two important implications. First, we have demonstrated that humans prefer leaders with lower-pitched voices, whether they are male or female. Consequently, male and female candidates with lower-pitched voices may be more likely to win elected offices. As a corollary, we also observe that notwithstanding countries that use gender quotas [51], women are vastly under-represented in leadership positions across the globe. While gender discrimination is an obvious cause of the under-representation of women as leaders, our results suggest that biological differences between the sexes, and our responses to those differences, could potentially be an additional factor to consider. More specifically, because women, on average, have higher-pitched voices than men, and because higher-pitched female voices are judged to be weaker, less competent and less trustworthy, the characteristics of this vocal signal could help explain why women are less likely to hold leadership roles than men. At the very least, voice pitch is a physical characteristic that does not counterbalance social norms that foster gender inequality. A test of this hypothesis would be to assess which sex fares better in a forced-choice election experiment when subjects are asked to choose between male and female voices with the same, and different, voice pitches.
Second, our results add to the growing evidence that vote choices can be made based on 'thin' impressionistic judgements [31–33]. They also add evidence to the literature showing that human behaviour is influenced by voice qualities in domains other than physical conflict and mating [14,20,24,28]. Consequently, our findings challenge existing theories of human behaviour, which assert that attitudes, such as partisanship and ideology are the primary force behind vote choice [30,52]. Thus, while social participation and political decision-making are viewed as higher level cognitive functions—the kind of thinking that sets us aside from other animals—our results clearly demonstrate that these behaviours cannot be understood in isolation from biological influences.

A Life Update + A Beautiful Video + And A Thank You to You My Friends
Prettiest recipe video of all time. via Making it Lovely.
I'm headed back up to Seattle tomorrow with my lovely boyfriend in his good ol' car. 13 hours of driving...the second big long drive this week. Wish us luck! We were busy busy all this past week with our friends' wedding festivities (it was the most gorgeous wedding I've ever been to... and I forgot to bring my camera. Damn.) I got to meet my boyfriend's best friends from high school which was super rad because we went to the same high school, and he and I and all of his friends knew OF each other back then, but I never met his friends or got to know my boyfriend while we were all in high school together years and years ago. My boyfriend and I were acquaintances through college, but got to know each other after college and immediately started dating. We've been dating for a year and a half now and I love him very much. :) And I LOVE his friends, most of which were at the wedding.
I went to another friend from high school's wedding shower in the past couple of days which was really sweet. And I got to spend time with my parents and sisters and their new doggies. Both of my little sisters got dogs this week and our family home has been packed with animals and fellow animal lovers all week. My family also always has someone needing a place to live at our family home which means I am always accumulating new pseudo brothers. I am so thankful my family is so compassionate and kind to others, especially those who have no where else to go or who need family and guidance. And it has been great getting to know our new friend Justin. Needless to say, this week has been busy and I am wiped out, especially after dancing my booty off last night at the wedding with new friends! It was glorious.
First, in my thanks for the week, I would like to thank my wonderful friends who have been guest blogging for me while I have been traveling and attending wedding celebrations. I really really dig all these ladies and it has been fun getting to introduce them and their blogs to my readers!
And secondly, I would like to thank all of you who left me kind comments on that Urban Outfitters post I wrote (which I immediately took down after reading some nasty comments that some not so gentle hearted people left on my blog.) This is the last time I will speak of it. And I am thankful that many of you understood that I did not intend to sound victimized by Urban Outfitters. I simply wanted to empower the blogging and Etsy community to stand up against big businesses ripping off Etsy artists' work.
As many of my faithful blog followers understand, I am passionate about standing up for the rights of individuals, loving and empowering people in my community and those outside of it, promoting the importance of supporting the handmade artist community and small businesses, and just trying to keep my blog a positive, honest, and loving space filled with kind words. I appreciate all of you who left me kind notes. I am sorry some people took my post the wrong way and left hateful words that I had to delete. And I hope from here on out that my blog can continue to be a space where people share encouraging and uplifting words with one another. No anonymous criticism or hate. No backhanded comments, defensive words, or arguing for wrong or right reasons. Just simply thoughtful and intentional good spirited words shared with one another.
I appreciate you all a lot, and I know that we are all mature enough at any age to be kind to each other. I have experienced plenty of bullying in my life and I understand now as an almost 25 year old woman how to let it roll off my shoulders. I'm a tough cookie. But cyber bullying is never ok on my blog, or anyone's blog. I would NEVER leave you a condescending, critical, mean, or backhanded comment on your blog on purpose. Never. So spread the word to your readers from here on out, we will not accept cyber bullying, and we won't let it hurt us. We will fight hate with love as a community. And we will treat others as we wish to be treated, even those that seek to hurt us. That is the way of a wise and thoughtful person who understands the power of kindness. And I know that my readers are an extremely kind and thoughtful collective of people. I appreciate you.

I was totally enraptured by this video. Damn you find so much better things on Vimeo! I am so glad you enjoyed yourself greatly on your wedding adventures and your friends wrote such wonderful posts. I haven't read your UO post but I am so very surprised that you would receive, from what it seems, such angry backlash - I thought everybody would be on the side of the Etsy people such as yourself. That said I think you are such a pleasant warm person that I can't imagine anyone would have the audacity to leave such ugly comments on your blog.

Safe driving to Seattle. It's been beautiful weather here. :)
I'm a new reader but must say, you certainly don't deserve to be bullied or criticized. It's so frustrating that the anonymity of the internet seems to make people so mean.
You're such a positive person I don't understand why anyone would attack you.

have fun on your trip!
i hate that urban outfitters copied your designs like that... i am and have been for the past 2 years very much supportive of the etsy community, i only ever buy handmade or charity shop things and only shop on the high st for basic things.
noone should have to put up with bullying. I have been cyber bullied and it is sooo not cool. the fact that someone did that to you when you were simply expressing yourself is beyond my understanding.
- June 6, 2011 at 1:34 AM
bullies are cowards. there is a reason those kinds of comments are always anonymous. sad, sad people. and yes, fight back with LOVE. 'cause love rocks!
so glad you had a good time at the wedding. hope you're having a good road-trip back. xo

I just recently came across you blog. Just wanted to let you know I think it's absolutely beautiful and as far as the Urban things goes, anyone who would defend a multinational company that treats their employees like retail slaves is pretty warped. (I worked for Anthropologie for many years...) lol Anyhow this is getting long but lovely blog and keep on trucking.

Sounds like a great trip! That's cool that you have such a neat history of friends with your boyfriend...I loved meeting my boyfriend's (now husband) high school friends too. I am with you on the comment thing. I don't understand how people think it's ok to be rude or condescending, but I love how you handle it. You're so honest and sweethearted.

You should not have to justify yourself and where stand on the UO situation. Reading the comments from anonymous posters bothered me and it seemed like they missed the point. I still love your blog and your work is stunning. Just keep at it. :)

That video is stunning!
- June 7, 2011 at 5:39 PM
The only two issues I have with the UO post you did is first, the fact that when I sent you the link to a blog post I wrote about Stevie/Tru.che's experience you replied that she had gotten excellent promo from the situation.
Anyone that commented on your UO post that also follows you closely enough on Twitter might have seen that, and the tweet could have set the tone for how they read and understood your post.
I'm not trying to be mean, I promise, only trying to share my perspective. I just want to point out that it is possible that it wasn't JUST the anonymous commentators trying to be jerks. They really could have thought you meant it that way based on that tweet you sent me.
And secondly I'm also shocked/sad/disappointed that you edited your entire post out just because you received a small percent of comments that weren't reaffirming your stance on the situation. Especially because I thought it was a very good post. After reading this post I'm trying to figure out if difference of opinion now equals cyber bullying on this blog. Two of the anonymous comments were definitely not in tactful taste, but one of them I read was simply disagreeing with you, and was later deleted. So I'm not sure I feel comfortable now visiting and commenting on your blog, because what if I don't always agree with you on something in the future? I feel now like I can't express that if it happens and I'll only be accepted my you and your other readers if I agree and always speak rainbows and sunshine dust. So I'm not sure I'll ever comment after this. I'm still trying to decide. But I'm not very keen on continuing to participate in your corner of the internet since I don't feel comfortable. I'm also really sad because I was planning on purchasing your jewelry for all my girlfriends for holiday presents later in the year. Now I just feel uncomfortable.
Again, I'm really not trying to be mean. Just trying to be honest and let you know how I feel.

I definitely agree. Blogs are no place for arguing and criticism - especially the anonymous kind.

The tug-of-war over Apple stock is stretching from Wall Street to Silicon Valley. A leading venture capitalist and a tech start-up CEO, who had worked at Apple, got into a heated debate on CNBC Wednesday.
Geoff Lewis, principal at the seed money Founders Fund, told "Squawk Box" he was "really disturbed" by Apple's pledge to give $100 billion to shareholders by the end of 2015.
"With $145 billion cash on hand and paying $100 billion to shareholders you can no longer call Apple a tech company," Lewis said. "Tech companies have ideas on how to use their cash that are not just giving it back to shareholders."
After the closing bell on Tuesday, Apple also announced earnings beat lowered Wall Street estimates, but disappointed investors with comments on slower growth and lower margins, as well as a lack of new products in the near future.
(Read More: Apple Earnings Beat, Company Hikes Dividend)
Appearing on "Squawk" with Lewis, Dave Morin, co-founder and CEO of social network Path, countered by arguing that Apple probably has ideas on what to do with its cash. "We just haven't heard of them yet. Typical way Apple works," he said of his former employer.

Tascam: 30 Years of Portastudios...and Still Going Strong!
For 30 years now, Tascam has been the leading manufacturer of portastudios, and they're still going strong, and still offering the best models available on the market today, which mix analog feel with digital technology. Learn more and check the best offers!
TASCAM invented the home recording studio with the original cassette Portastudio, and have manufactured some of the most well-beloved recording gear ever, such as the popular Tascam 244 and Tascam 414mk2 tape recorders, which are still sought-after on eBay, by the analog tape enthusiasts:
Old but goldies: Tascam 244 (left) and Tascam 414 - popular analog models
But Tascam have moved on with times, of course, and digital recorders are where it's at, now - they are versatile and more flexible, and make operations such as deleting tracks, undoing, editing, adding FX, saving and bouncing tracks much quicker and easier. Not to mention you can store many more hours of music, with CD-quality audio.
However, as technology and features improved, something was lost by most digital recorders - they lost the simplicity that appealed to the previous generations of (tape-recording) musicians. Until, that is, Tascam came forward to save the day!
The new DP-004 4-track recorder and DP-008 8-track recorder models by Tascam are here, and they're just as easy to use as the original analogue cassette portable recorders! But, being digital, they offer much more features, and are perfect for the modern musician who wants quality, versatility...and simplicity!
Tascam DP 004 Portable 4-track Digital Pocketstudio
The Tascam DP-004 is an easy to use portable 4-track recorder with a layout much like Tascam's industry-changing cassette recorders.
Being digital, the Tascam DP-004 has modern features: USB 2.0, it's smaller than a paperback, and features built-in a stereo condenser microphone, so you can take the Tascam DP-004 Pocketstudio anywhere. If you want to connect other instruments or microphones, the DP-004 has two 1/4-inch inputs which accept microphone or line-level signals.
The first input can also switch to Hi-Z so it's suitable for recording your bass or electric guitar directly.
Also available bundled with mic, lead and SD Card (left). More...
Tascam DP-008 portable 8-track recorder
TASCAM culminates 30 years of Portastudio Recording with the DP-008, a portable 8-track recorder for all musicians.
TASCAM's DP-008 is an eight-track recorder that captures CD-quality audio, two tracks at a time. You can use built-in microphones to grab ideas, plug condenser mics into the XLR inputs or plug a guitar directly in to lay tracks.
Also available bundled with a 8 GB SD card (left)for extra recording time. Find out more...
Even if you already have a portastudio, it's still a good idea to also have a portable, hand-held unit! This way you can record your ideas as and when you get them, or record gigs and band practices.
The new Tascam DR-07 Portable Digital Recorder is an ideal choice! The DR-07 offers good recording quality and easy operation at an affordable price, making it not just a great choice for musicians on the go, but for anyone who may need a cheap and good-quality recording unit - for school, lectures, or even just recording gigs by your favourite bands!
The built-in stereo microphone enables you to record directly in MP3 oder WAV format. Alternatively, an external mic can be connected through a mini jack, or you can use a stereo line input with adjustable level for other sources. The recorder features auto gain control and an analogue limiter, a low-cut filter with three switchable frequencies, playback pitch and key control (combined or independently), loop playback, a 2-seconds buffer to start recording before the record key is pressed, a file divide function to cut unwanted parts of a recording, a USB port and a screw socket on the bottom to attach the unit to a tripod or microphone stand.
The Tascam DR-07 comes with a 2GB SD card and windshield and can be operated by two alkaline batteries or NiMH rechargeables – perfect for 7 to 8 hours of recording on the road. An AC adapter is available as an option.

The Authorised Version and its Influence
§ 11. The Influence of the
Authorised Version
upon English Literature.
This brings us to the question of the influence of the
Authorised Version
upon subsequent English literaturean influence which cannot always be precisely distinguished from that of the Bible in some earlier form. When Spenser or Shakespeare, for instance, uses the Bible, it is, of course, not the Jacobean version, and now and then the same thing will be true at a later period, as in some of Miltons writing. The more important modes in which the Bible has affected English literature are these:
) The themes are Scriptural, and the language partly, at times even largely, Scriptural. Such is the case in sermons, versified psalms, paraphrases of Scriptural narrative, devotional essays, and the like. An excellent example is Bunyans
Pilgrims Progress.
This book apart, however, there are few, if any, examples of a work which has been accepted as pure literature employing Biblical diction to anything like such a degree. Other attempts, such as the
Book of Mormon,
tend to the grotesque or ludicrous, because of the disparity between the language and the ideas suggested. A diction resembling that of the Bible in its concreteness and simplicity, and in its slightly archaic character, has, however, of late been employed with good effect in prose versions from authors like Homer.
) Quotations from the Bible are introduced, sometimes slightly changed, into secular writings. The object is to substantiate a statement, or to awaken a train of associations favourable to the authors purpose. These can be found in almost any author, but they are more common in the nineteenth century than earlier, being especially used by writers who have at heart the reform or elevation of society or individuals.
) Allusions, or considerably modified quotations, are introduced freely, and may be found on the editorial page of many a newspaper. Thus, one reads: The full measure of justice is not meted out to them; They sold their birthright for a mess of pottage; They have fallen among thieves. In the last three books which the present writer has read for amusement, he has been interested to note quotations and allusions of this nature. In one of them, a recent book on life in an Italian province, 63 references were found; in the second, a recent work on the life of wild animals, 12; in the third, a novel by Thomas Hardy, 18.
) Many phrases have grown so common that they have become part of the web of current English speech, and are hardly thought of as Biblical at all, except on deliberate reflection. For instance: highways and hedges; clear as crystal; still small voice; hip and thigh; arose as one man; lick the dust; a thorn in the flesh; broken reed; root of all evil; the nether millstone; sweat of his brow; heap coals of fire; a law unto themselves; the fat of the land; dark sayings; a soft answer; a word in season; moth and rust; weighed in the balance and found wanting; even such colloquialisms as, we are the people (cf.
xii, 2). Many more of these might readily be quoted.
) Other influences, less definitely measurable, but more important, remain to be mentioned.
Of the Bible in its relations to religion, individual conduct, and ideals political and social, this is not the place to speak; yet these affect literature to an incalculable extent, if they do not even provide its very substance. Of such matters as fall within the scope of this chaptermatters of vocabulary, grammar, idiom, and stylesomething may briefly be said.
In the first place, the literary influence of the Bible, like that of any classic, is distinctly conservative. The reading of it tends to keep alive a familiarity with the words and constructions which were current when the English Bible grew up, or, rather, of such of these words and constructions as proved most conformable to the genius of the Hebrew and Greek employed in the sacred writings. As hinted above, this influence, in conjunction with that of the Bible in the sphere of thought and emotion, seems to have culminated, if its culmination be not rather a matter of the future, in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The result is that many terms formerly regarded as awkward, or alien to the genius of the language, are now understood and accepted. Soon after the
Authorised Version
was issued, Selden thus criticised the rendering:
The Bible is rather translated into English words than into English phrases. The Hebraisms are kept, and the phrase of that language is kept.
A typical Hebraism is the use of
in such phrases as oil of gladness, man of sin, King of kings; but who has any difficulty with them now? In the first half of the nineteenth century, Hallam could say:
It abounds, especially in the Old Testament, with obsolete phraseology, and with single words long since abandoned, or retained only in provincial use.
At present this is no truer of the Bible than of Shakespeare, if as true. Our earlier English has been so revived, and rendered so familiar, that much which needed elaborate explanation in the eighteenth century is now intelligible to every one. As Lightfoot said of other objectors:
The very words which these critics would have ejected from our English Bibles as barbarous, or uncouth, or obsolete, have again taken their places in our highest poetry, and even in our popular language.
Like the course of a planet round the sun, the movement of English diction, which, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was, on the whole, away from that of the Bible, now returns with ever accelerating speed toward it. That the movement really began at a much earlier date, though inconspicuously, is shown by the counsels and practice of Swift, and by the circumstance that Challoners Roman Catholic version of 17634 abandoned many of the Latinisms of the Rheims and Douay translations in favour of the simpler language of the
Authorised Version.
The use of concrete words has grown in favour. The colourlessness, vagueness and obscurity of abstract terms, and of conventional phraseology whether abstract or not, have been discredited. Vividness, the sense of reality, have more and more prevailed in literaturethat is, in non-technical writings.
Simplicity has always been recommended by the example of the
Authorised Version,
and, especially since the age of Wordsworth, is more and more gaining upon bombast and meretricious ornament. The concreteness and simplicity of the
Authorised Version,
and its use of the homely vernacular, have steadily appealed to plain people, as distinguished from those who have had more abundant opportunities of education. But the love of the humble for the Bible is largely due to its message of cheer and hope. Huxley has even gone so far as to call the Bible the Magna Charta of the poor and the oppressed. Two men, Bunyan and Lincoln, who educated themselves largely by means of the Bible, may serve as examples of many who have become known to posterity for their inestimable services to their race. Both are famous as writers, and the best writing of both is alive with the spirit of the Bible. Bunyan has already been mentioned. Of Lincoln it has been said that he
built up his entire reading upon his early study of the Bible. He had mastered it absolutely; mastered it as later he mastered only one or two other books, notably Shakespeare; mastered it so that he became almost a man of one book; and he left his life as part of the crowning work of the century that has just closed.
Of Walt Whitman, the American who wished to be known as the poet of democracy, it has been authoritatively said:
His own essential model, after all is said, was the rhythmical patterns of the English Bible. Here was precisely that natural stylistic variation between the terrific, the gentle, and the inferior parts, so desired by William Blake. Here were lyric fragments, of consummate beauty, imbedded in narrative or argumentative passages . In this strong, rolling music, this intense feeling, these concrete words expressing primal emotion in daring terms of bodily sensation. Whitman found the charter for the book he wished to write.
The elevation and nobility of Biblical diction, assisted by its slightly archaic tinge, have a tendency to keep all English style above meanness and triviality. In the words of Coleridge intense study of the Bible will keep any writer from being vulgar in point of style.
The Bible teaches that emotion should not habitually be divorced from thought, nor thought from emotion; certainly not in literature. Wherever simple language is charged with noble feeling, stirs the imagination, is directed by steady and comprehensive thought, is adapted to actuate the will in the direction of social and individual good, and is concise and pregnant, Biblical style is approximated, and, very probably, Biblical influence is dominant.
Finally, the English Bible is the chief bond which holds united, in a common loyalty and a common endeavour, the various branches of the English race. The influence of the Bible can be traced through the whole course of English literature and English civilisation, and, more than anything else, it tends to give unity and perpetuity to both.

AMD Vishera FX-8350 Review
About this time last year AMD unveiled what was the highly anticipated and first significant CPU architecture change in over a decade. Big things were expected from this bold new architecture approach from AMD, if for no other reason than Bulldozer had seemingly been sitting in the oven for so long and the expectations by AMD itself was set very high with the PR campaign accompanying it. The result was a resounding thud as the first incarnation of the K15 architecture did not live up to the press slides promising things like 1.6x the performance of CPUs that had an 'i' in front of their titles.
The release of the second generation codenamed "Vishera" has seemed to be much quieter than the first. This time around there will be only be four Vishera SKUs released: the FX-8350, FX-8320, FX-6300, and FX-4300. The part we are concerned with today is the new flagship of the Vishera lineup, the FX-8350 or "Piledriver" CPU. AMD had promised from the open volley of the new architecture that was Bulldozer, there will be a 10-15% performance increase with each of the four new generations. With the release of Vishera, AMD has said that there are improvements to the IPC, power efficiency, frequency, as well as architecture changes we will get into a little further along.
So let's see how all of these changes to the second generation have fared compared to Bulldozer and the Intel competition it is aimed at. And speaking of who this new flagship is aimed at, AMD makes no bones about it being aimed squarely at the high end enthusiast. As I am one of those, let's see if it hit the mark.
Closer Look:
Built on the same 32nm process as the previous generation, the FX-8350 is the enthusiast flagship of the Vishera offerings sporting the first ever 4.0GHz stock clocked CPU on the market. The FX-8350 is equipped with four Piledriver modules and eight cores in an 125W TDP. While the base clock speed is 4.0GHz, the Turbo will take this up to 4.2GHz when load dictates. The 315mm² die packs 1.2 billion transistors and an IMC that supports 1866MHz memory natively in dual channel mode. The FX-8350 has 8MB of L2 cache as well as 8MB of shared L3 cache
The chipset used for the Vishera is the same 990/970 used with the last generation. Good news for AMD fans in that your AM3+ 990FX motherboards will still provide a home for your new FX Vishera chip with only a BIOS update. The block diagram shows PCIE 2.0 lanes broken down as 2x16 or 4x8 +8x1+4x1 (2x1 on SB). Up to 14 USB ports are supported (up to four being USB 3.0) and six 6Gbps SATA ports and support for RAID configurations of 0, 1, 5, and 10. DDR3 officially supports up to 1866MHz of 1.5v, but supports up to 2400MHz (OC). I won't dwell on this too much as it's largely the same as the last release. So as a refresher course, here is a block diagram for your perusal.
AMD has made a number of improvements to the "Piledriver" cores it claims will add and enhance improvement to not only overall performance, but in the areas of IPC and operating frequency. Among them are a larger L1 TLB to improve virtual address translation speed, improved branch prediction, an improved HW data prefetch, and have improved upon the item that has been giving most of the blame for the slow single threaded performance of the last generation the FPU and INT scheduling. AMD has also claimed that it has made improvements to the efficiency of the shared L2 cache. The FX-8350 is identified as having C0 stepping as opposed to the FX-8150's B2 stepping. These and other improvements are adding up to some rather substantial improvements they claim.
Well some are saying that all this is a rework of the Piledriver core (module) some are saying it is nothing more than a stepping revision. The proof is in the numbers. So turn the page and have a look at the specifications and features, and then we will heat this chip up and see what it has to offer.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – On Saturday (Dec. 7) the Coker wrestling team will hit the road to Newberry College to compete in the Seventh Annual Newberry Duals. The Cobras will take on three tough opponents while at the duals; Alderson-Broaddus College, Darton State College and Lake Erie College. The first dual of the day for the Cobras will be at 10:30 a.m. against Alderson-Broaddus, followed by the dual against Darton College at noon and finally the Cobras will face Lake Erie at 1:30 p.m.
The Cobras are coming off a 25-13 victory over St. Andrews in their inaugural home match on Nov. 25. Gavin Perkins picked up the lone pin of the match for the Cobras in the 125-pound division. Rashad Cunningham earned the largest point differential of the match with a 12-2 major decision in the 141-pound match. Also picking up victories were Charlie Huff at 133, Kevin Thompson at 149, JD Dykes at 157, Robert Parland at 197 and Austin Akins at 285.
Coker's first opponent of the duals will be another first-year program Alderson-Broaddus College. A-B comes into the duals with a record of 1-4. In their most recent match, they fell to Wheeling Jesuit University 28-13.
In their second match of the day the Cobras will take on the Darton State College Cavaliers. This will be just the second dual match of the season for the Cavaliers. They just barely lost their first dual of the season on Dec. 4, 20-19, to Brewton-Parker.
The final dual of the day will pit the Cobras against the regionally ranked No. 7 Storm of Lake Erie. The Strom are coming off a 31-13 win over nationally ranked No. 9 University of Indianapolis.
Live stats for each match of the Seventh Annual Newberry Duals will be available at www.cokercobras.com.

Windows 8 includes many new features which give users the opportunity to use Windows in different ways. A new interface, and new ways to interact with your computer, as well as new shortcuts, new menus and an entirely new class of apps, are all waiting within the new OS. All of these features can be useful, that is, if you know how to use them. Learning these tricks is easier and more useful if you actually try them out, so grab your Windows 8 device and give it a go as we dive in and take a look at eight new tricks for Windows 8.
Search by category
Windows 7 included a search feature that was handy, but Windows 8 ups the ante by providing even better search functionality via the Windows 8 UI. It's now possible to filter your search by apps, settings, or files. You can access the search function from any screen by placing your cursor in the upper right hand corner of your display. This will activate the "Charms" bar, which includes a magnifying glass for search. The result is familiar. Select a category and type in what you're looking for.
It's also possible to access search using hotkeys. Win + F will take you to Files, Win + W will take you to Settings, and Win + Q will take you to Apps.
Manipulate the Start screen
Windows populates the new user interface with tiles automatically, but, since every user is different, it may not pick the best apps for you. However, it is possible to un-pin and re-size tiles just by right-clicking on them. Want to modify multiple tiles? Simply right-click on them in succession to do so. Tiles can also be moved using the good ol' drag-and-drop technique.
You'll also notice that the tiles are placed in groups. To modify them, click on the minimize button in the lower right-hand corner (it's very small, next to the scroll bar), and then right-click groups to add names or delete them.
What about pinning all-new apps or functons? For that, go to the Apps search page and find what you want to add to the Start menu. Right-click and then click Pin to Start. This only works for apps — not settings or files.
Tab through Windows 8 apps only
Alt + Tab is a classic shortcut for moving through different app windows quickly. Now it is being joined by a new hotkey: Win + Tab. Pressing these two together will bring up a new interface on the left-hand side of the screen that lets you move only through Windows 8 apps. It's a nice way of multi-tasking when you are not in the classic desktop environment.
Gain context and snap windows
The top of a new Windows 8 app is an important part of the app interface. Once inside the app, placing the mouse cursor on the top of the screen will turn the cursor into a hand. Once that's happened, you can right-click to open up a context menu that will provide a few useful options. It's usually not much, but the specifics depend on the app.
Doing this also lets you use the new snap features in the Windows 8 interface. To activate this, left-click and drag downwards, and the window will shrink. Now, drag the window to the right or left and watch it automatically snap to that portion of the screen. You can use this to watch information in one Windows 8 app while primarily using another. This will continue to function in the desktop if you go to it after snapping a Windows 8 app to the left or right side of the screen.
Access settings quickly
Underneath the new interface, all of the old Windows 7 utilities are — for the most part — still there. That being said, you may not need to access them often due to a new PC settings interface. You can access setting by searching for "PC settings" or by pressing Win + I and the clicking the Change PC Settings link at the bottom. This new interface will let you handle basic settings pertaining to network connectivity, privacy, and currently-connected devices, among other things. This is often the fastest way to change basic settings.
That same Win + I menu can also be used to power off your computer or change screen brightness without having to open the Change PC Settings link.
Learn Ribbon and the Quick Access toolbar
Windows 8's other big interface change is the addition of the Ribbon to Internet Explorer. The icon-driven UI replaces the text-menu interface of the old version. However, it only sometimes appears by default. To summon it, you need to use the new option tabs at the top of Explorer (Home, Share, View, etc.). You also an click the tack icon at the upper right or you can use the Ctrl + F1 hotkey.
When Ribbon is not active you will see the slimmer Quick Access toolbar. It has only a few fuctions by default, but users can add more. To do this, open the Ribbon, right-click on an icon, and then click "add to Quick Access toolbar."
Get to know your history
One of the best feature in Windows 8 is File History. It's an automatic update service that can back up information to a second drive and also lets you selectively restore data. First, however, you have to open and access it. To do this, search for File history in the settings search. Open it, and then click the Turn On button. File History handles the rest.
If the drive you want to back up to is not selected you can change drives by clicking the "Select a drive" link on the left. You also can restore files by clicking the "Restore personal files" link.
Access system functions with an old-fashioned hotkey
Though Windows 8 tosses out the old Start button, it does add another menu that can be of use. The menu doesn't have a particular name, but it's accessed using the Win + X hotkey and it appears where Start used to be (the lower left hand side).
From this menu it's possible to access a number of utilities like Control Panel, Task Manager, and the Device Manager. It's an old-fashioned menu that uses a gray background with black text but it will appear in either the desktop environment or the new Windows 8 UI.

The nostalgic yet creepily familiar experience of discovering an old video of yourself on an online video site such as YouTube.
The other day I Googled for Fugazi's 924 Gilman show from 1990, and I came across some YouTube videos someone posted from that very same show. Then I kept seeing myself by the stage in those videos -- talk about deja tube.

Reviewed By HENRY R (Huntington Beach, CA) Reviewed for a 2011 BMW 3-Series —9/18/2017 6:08 PM
Overall, I'm pleased with this car cover. It fits very well and is easy to put on and take off. The outer layer seems very durable and the soft inner layer shouldn't cause micro scratches. Looks like it will hold up much longer than my 2 Noah car covers did that I've had in the last 3 years. But it's not as thick as the Noah and won't protect as well from getting door dings. The quality of the Armor cover is very good but the pocket for the roof antenna is 5 or 6 inches too far towards the rear.
