PolyTune 2
Evolution Of A Revolution
Yet another quantum leap in tuning
Positively PolyTune
The original PolyTune rocked the world. It forever changed the way we look at tuning. The world's first polyphonic tuner took the hearts of guitarists by storm. Was it the jaw-droppingly awesome polyphonic tuning that made tuning much faster, easier and intuitive? The bright LED matrix with auto-dimming that ensured maximum visibility? Tuning Magnet, the slowing of the needle as you approached the correct pitch? Maybe the monopoly technology that sensed whether you played one or six strings and instantly adjusted accordingly?
Like musicians never really know how they wrote that nr. 1 hit, it was probably a combination of factors for us. Whatever it was, you loved it and we loved it! But we're all about moving forward, so we've improved on perfection and added some guitarist gems that cement PolyTune 2 as the leader of the pedal tuning pack.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
As devoted ambassadors to creating a Supreme Sound experience to share with the world, we are continually focused on evolving current products and innovating new ones. With the upcoming launch of one of our greatest creations yet, we wanted to drop knowledge on the core of what we focus on when designing a headphone with Supreme Sound.
Bass is considered the most powerful sensation in modern day music. When listening to your favorite Ray Charles song or Jay-Z beat, it's easy to point out bass. We often consider it the portion of music you can literally feel.
Coming soon from Skullcandy is a headphone that will literally rattle your brain with bass. Think about when you're at a concert and can feel the music beat. Or when you can feel the two 12" subs sitting in the trunk of the car next to you at a stoplight. Our question was, why can't a headphone give you that same experience?
The bass in most headphones is either suppressed and muddy or exaggerated and boomy. Our cans? Well, they attack with punchy & powerful bass that's engineered for music or gaming – bass you can feel.
Check out Skullcandy Moto team rider Robbie Maddison's reaction to our biggest headphone yet.
Sound Basics
It's important to have a basic understanding of sound and frequency. All sound is produced by vibrations that travel through the air. We hear sound when the vibrations enter your ear and vibrate your eardrum. Our brain translates those vibrations into sounds we can understand and interpret. For reference, humans can hear sound ranging from 20Hz – 20,000Hz.
What is Bass?
Technically, bass is the range of frequencies below 250Hz. These are the lowest notes you hear in music. Bass is actually split into two regions: bass and Sub-bass. Sub-bass includes frequencies below 60Hz. In the Sub-bass range, our ears are not very sensitive, so we actually tend to feel more of these sounds rather than hearing them. Regular bass is in the region of 60Hz to 250Hz. This is where most of the bass sound is located. For instance, with a kick drum, you may feel the 50Hz fundamental, but you will hear the fullness in the 60Hz to 250Hz notes.
How is Bass Created?
In speaker systems, bass is generated by large transducers called "woofers". Woofers create low notes by pushing huge amounts of air. Generally, woofers require the use of an additional amplifier because of the amount of air they're pushing and the large movements required to push that air. Think about those two 12" subs in your trunk – they need additional amplification to make your car Harlem shake.
In typical headphones, the principal is the same, just in a smaller package. Most headphones strive to produce sounds throughout the entire audible frequency range using one driver and only the power of your music source (MP3 player, computer, etc…). As you may have heard, some headphones are better at producing certain frequencies than others. The key is to find the perfect balance across the entire audible frequency range.
What makes good bass? Bad bass?
As defined by most audiophiles and sound enthusiasts, bass should be punchy, attacking, and should not linger or boom. Think about that kick drum again. A good bass sound will have enough Sub-bass to create a tactile sensation. Enough thump to get your heart going a bit without lingering. It's also really important bass doesn't reduce the clarity of the mids and highs.
An overemphasis in the high end of the bass frequency range (right around 250Hz) can result in muddy vocals and reduced sound clarity. A big no-no. A lack of bass will make songs sound thin and tinny. Too much Sub-bass can create rumbling and lingering when it wasn't intended.
What is key in making good bass in headphones?
You may have the best headphone driver in the world capable of producing punchy, attacking bass audiophiles dream of; however, without a cushion that seals the headphone to your head, most of the bass notes will escape resulting in a thin sound. Clamping pressure and the right ear cushions are crucial for locking in sound as well as providing comfort for your extended jam sessions.
Previously, we stated that typical headphones strive to produce sound throughout the entire audible range using one driver and one power source. Skullcandy is about to change everything. The tactile sensation of Sub-bass. The powerful feeling of the music beat. A headphone CAN do that. And it WILL do that. On April 1st, come back to Skullcandy.com for the biggest launch in Skullcandy history. A headphone with bass the whole world will feel!
Please wait...

Is Major League Soccer close to revamping its season schedule, moving toward the traditional winter-laden slate used by European leagues?
According to a story by The New York Daily News, MLS is "inching closer" to adopting a "European-type" schedule that could be implemented as soon as the 2014 season.
Frank Isola of the Daily News reported that the plan — in full support of FIFA, the sport's governing body — would have the MLS season begin play in either late July or early August and include a six- to eight-week winter break. The championship would either be played in late May or early June. The MLS season currently begins in March and runs until the championship match is scheduled to be played the first week of December.
As noted by Isola, most European leagues begin play in August and end sometime in May. Currently a 10-month season, MLS begins matches in March and stretches to early December, the time of the MLS Cup championship.
Isola cited a league source saying, MLS Commissioner Don Garber has "been considering adopting the calendar used in Europe for several years but talks have intensified in recent weeks. The move would also placate FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who has been an outspoken — and often unfair — critic of the country's fastest growing professional league."
But MLS quickly responded to the report.
Dan Courtemanche, executive vice president of communications for MLS, tweeted: "'Rumors' is an appropriate way to classify it. MLS has reviewed many possible schedule formats throughout the years."
When asked what the 2014 season schedule would look like, Courtemanche responded: "We hope to announce soon, but the timing will be very similar to the current season."
The prospect of changing the schedule — even with a potential six- to eight-week winter break — could be problematic. Of the 19 professional franchises in MLS, 12 certainly are in an area/region that could receive significant winter weather anywhere from February to April, Salt Lake City being one of the 12, along with Denver, New York, Boston, Montreal, Toronto, D.C., Chicago, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Columbus and Vancouver. One could even make an argument for Portland and Seattle.
What do you think? Would RSL — along with the MLS as a whole — benefit from this move soon or later on down the line? Soccer is tricky in this country because the winter climates surely don't make the decision process any easier for the league or the owners. Everyone remembers the infamous snow match in Commerce City, Colo., on March 23 when the U.S. men's national team somehow defeated Costa Rica in a whiteout.
Even risking potential delays, rescheduling or cancellation should be enough to make MLS think twice about any sort of move.
Had a few fans tell me the winter-season-schedule move worked out well for the Russian and Ukrainian soccer leagues.
Well, Kiev isn't exactly Los Angeles in February. Or March for that matter.

Exhibit Opening: Katrina Reminded Editors of 'Importance of News'
Watch video:
Guests: Jim Amoss, Stan Tiner and Shepard Smith
WASHINGTON — Hurricane Katrina forever changed the journalists who covered it, according to three people who led news teams through the deadly 2005 storm.
"It changed everybody in my newsroom and made them better journalists," said Jim Amoss, editor of New Orleans's Times-Picayune.
Amoss, along with Stan Tiner, editor of the Sun Herald in Biloxi and Gulfport, Miss., and Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, spoke at an Aug. 26 Newseum program that marked the opening of "Covering Katrina," an exhibit that explores the news media's coverage of the storm that took 1,800 lives and displaced 1 million. The exhibit features artifacts from the Sun Herald and The Times-Picayune, who both won the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal for public service.
The mission to deliver the news was paramount. Two Times-Picayune reporters on bicycles discovered that the levees had been breached and the city would soon be flooded. One realized his house was gone but continued reporting.
"That mission came before anything, including their personal losses," said Amoss.
The reporters' bicycles are displayed in the exhibit. About a fourth of the Sun Herald staff lost their homes, said Tiner.
"One man came in my office and wept. He dried his tears and went out and did what the rest of the staff did," Tiner said.
Government's failure still stuns the journalists.
"It's still baffling and appalling that this storm happened Monday morning and the federal government arrives Friday afternoon," said Amoss.
"Every level failed, and every level lied," added Smith, who said reporters prepare themselves mentally to cover big stories but "you don't anticipate the collapse of society around you."
The Sun Herald ran front-page editorials pleading for help.
"We had to speak for the people of South Mississippi," Tiner said. "That was an important role for us."
As the news industry endures a rough transition from print to digital delivery, Tiner said, Katrina brought back "the organic feeling of the importance of news."
"People felt they went through the most traumatic event of their lives with the newspaper, and that created a bond," said Amoss.
"Covering Katrina" is at the Newseum through Sept. 5, 2011.

(According to Cafemom.com) 8 things couples need to do every single day.
Compliment each other
It could be something very small...for instance, compliment him with the way he vacuumed...or....that he did it. Take a moment to praise your significant other for something they've done.
We all know it's the best medicine. It's cheap too. Keep chuckling even on depressing days.
Say those three words
"I love you." Go on -- say it to your wife (or husband) every single day. It's a must.
Notice the little things
Could be your wife's manicure or notice that she looks nice in an outfit....(it kind of is in the same category of compliments)
Put things in perspective
Even if you have financial difficulties, but are healthy. Put emphasis on 'at least we have our health." In the end, no matter what troubles you're dealing with, just remember you're not in it alone and your family is all that truly matters.
Dream big
Nothing is impossible. So dream big and share those dreams with your spouse. Even if they never come true, it's still something worth hoping for.
Share something new
Even if youi've been together for several decades, there's always something new you can share with your spouse. Could be a movie you just watched, an article you just read or a book you want to read...or maybe you learned the 'art' of sudoku....share it with your honey.
Lock lips
You should start and end each day exactly the same way. With a gentle kiss on the lips.

- Great Dining Experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/29/2014The food was exquisite. A little pricey - definitely a "special" dining night out. Wine list was OK. My Bordeaux had some sediment and should have been decanted. The food is truly exceptional in every way. Waiter was very attentive and professional. Wonderful, romantic ambience - rustic, yet clean and organized. A VERY memorable meal...Special Features:
- Great food as alwayspickycustomerDined on 9/29/2014The food was superb and the service attentive. It is a very small place and not easy to get into, but always well worth the effort.Special Features:
- HikerRDDined on 9/27/2014Pleasant in every way, from the greeting of the staff through the dessert! The bread was divine, the courses well paced and executed. Comfortably full between the wine and the food and the bread.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Something has changed- disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/26/2014This was my 5th visit to Bondir, and unlike the other times, when we had fabulous food, we were completely underwhelmed. The menu items did not seem as interesting and the flavorings were not exciting. The food was fine, just not great as in the past. The service was still very good. I don't know if this was just an off night, but sadly I won't be recommending this any more.
- lovely and eclecticnefeliDined on 9/25/2014I dined at Bondir on a Thursday evening. The food was delicious and the ambiance transported me to the south of France. But perhaps what surprised me the most was the quality and warmth of the service. A true gem in the heart of Cambridge!Special Features:
- My favourite restaurant ever!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/22/2014Amazingly fresh ingredients plated artistically. Absolutely delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Eat your way into fall with BondirLauraNDined on 9/21/2014We went to Bondir on the first night of fall-- and it was simply wonderful (tons of root vegetables taken to the next level!). I've only ever ordered the prixe fixe here-- and I suggest you do the same because everything is simply spectacular. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable, the plating is gorgeous, and nothing on the plate ever disappoints!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic, Quaint and Romantic!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Bondir is a neighborhood gem full of delicious and unique food pairings. The tasting menu was an excellent way to celebrate a special occasion. The food and atmosphere made this an absolutely delightful and unforgettable experience.Special Features:
- Fantastic Find in CambridgeDoctorWho1VIPDined on 9/19/2014I was fortunate to discover Bondir Cambridge Friday night - it could not have been more perfect - perfectly executed dishes, attentive and extremely informed wait staff - and the atmosphere was quiet, soothing, very conducive to conversation. The duck leg was perhaps the finest I can remember tasting anywhere; the halibut cheeks were likewise perfect. It is a small, intimate space, but well worth the journey. I will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful eveningBonnieDined on 9/19/2014We arrived early and there was a nice area to wait while enjoying a glass of wine. The food was excellent and server was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food but not great valueDingbatDined on 9/17/2014Unfortunately, our date night at Bondir was a bit rushed, because the toddler we left at home with his grandmother decided to throw a fit. Despite that, we still managed to enjoy our late dinner before hurrying out without dessert. My wife (a vegetarian) had the burrata and mushroom duxelle appetizers, while I had the duck pansotti (or ravioli, for those like me who aren't fluent in Italian cuisine) appetizer and the poached salmon entree. All of the dishes were very good, but they didn't quite reach the level of excellence that I would expect for the prices they charge. Since we went at 8:30 on a Thursday night, we could've done better by going to Journeyman and getting their "Four for Forty" special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Elegant restraintjr2204VIPDined on 9/15/2014Bondir doesn't seek to knock you out but goes for finely focused flavors. Some may find the result too restrained; but the cooking is always well considered and well executed, with very good wines and helpful service.Special Features:
- Gem!neighborDined on 9/13/2014You don't need to drive to Bondir Concord when Cambridge Bondir is still here! Menu as excellent and thoughtful as always. Hope they continue with the cucumber sorbet and the buttermilk lovage ice cream..Special Features:
- Cozy and creativeartINSURDined on 9/11/2014Bondir changes its menu daily depending on what looked good that day at the market, so mentioning specific dishes is mostly pointless. Portions are not large so you may want to consider doing the fixed price menu. We didn't, but ended up getting two appetizers and splitting a dessert anyway. The food was excellent, well cooked and seasoned, and the chef was not afraid to mix interesting ingredients in to the dishes. Just check out their website for menu examples and you will see what I mean. If you are looking for a traditional burger or normal pasta, don't bother. This place is for people that enjoy trying new food, or food cooked new ways. The restaurant is only 9 tables, so it is quiet and cozy and you get the servers full attention.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/11/2014Food was great,for me. My friend ordered the stuffed chicken and thought it was an overpriced slice of Thanksgiving dinner. I could barely hear our server. He was fine but wasn't the most welcoming or warm individual. The hostess was very friendly. It's a very small restaurant. It wasn't that busy when we were there so the noise level and ambiance were fine. I can imagine that if it's busy, it could be very stuffy.
- Unusual and deliciousSaritaDined on 9/8/2014Ingredients and techniques combine for great results. Not a huge variety of choices but really inventive and good. On thus visit, the appetizers (smoked beets, house made chorizo) were the stars.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A food gemBillMcDined on 8/31/2014Food quality rivals the best in Boston. If you enjoy high quality food with interesting and well matched flavors, you'll enjoy Bondir. We had Rouen Duck & Chatham Striped Bass. Both were exquisite. I had the bass and it was done to perfection with a nice crispy charred outside and moist interior, set in a bright green lovage broth which was both an eye and taste pleasing sensational contrast. In addition to our meal we were presented with three small bite offerings from the chef. All of which were delicious. The space is quite intimate with just 9 tables. Service was friendly with an attentiveness that was unobtrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great meal;DanthemanDined on 8/29/2014Great food, service, and atmosphere. Its hard to find all of this in one spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mixed reviewloulindyDined on 8/29/2014The service was very good, but we were disappointed in the limited selection and taste of the food. There were 2 choices for the 1st course, 3 for the 2nd course, and 4 for the entree, including only 2 total choices for vegetarians. There was a 1st course beet & blueberry dish that was the only option besides steak tartare. Three of us ordered the beet dish, and all of us were disappointed since the flavors did not blend well. The duck entree was excellent, but the the sea bass taste was overpowered by a very strong herb broth, and the eggplant dish was very bland. The servings were small, and the prices very high for the quality and amount of food we received. The wood bench seating was also very uncomfortable and had no seat cushions.Special Features:
- BondirDined on 8/24/2014We did the 4 course meal and we found the appetizer courses and dessert courses to be amazing, but were a bit underwhelmed by the main course, it was a little bland and no bigger than the other courses especially for the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food reviewOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014We found the food overpriced and the beef entrée was overcooked.Special Features:
- Special OccasionblucatDined on 8/21/2014This small neighborhood gem will be a new goto place for our very special occasions. The menu is unique, the waitstaff courteous and helpful, and the food is beautifully prepared giving the whole experience a quality of ritual but because of the relaxed but very thoughful decor it doesn't feel in any way sterile or stiff. We had a great time celebrating our 15th anniversary at Bondir.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GeoffDined on 8/10/2014Small number of tables, but excellent attentive, informed service. Menu was carefully created to achieve a highly balanced, beautiful experience with fine dining. Not inexpensive, however, but worth the money. Wine list could use some expansion in California reds and whites, but more than adequate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great experience!luvgreatfoodVIPDined on 8/6/2014small venue with great warmth and charm. food was great - a culinary experience with instructions of the ingredients/food by friendly wait staff. we initially had booked a later reservation (nothing else available), but we were called with an earlier time after a cancellation. looking forward to coming back!Special Features:
- Excellent though not for the hungryOliverTwistDined on 8/3/2014This is our second or third visit to the lovely Bondir and we like everything about the restaurant except the almost hilariously small portions. The food is beautiful and exquisitely arranged but I don't understand why the main courses have to be quite so sparse. Would it cost very much to add a few potatoes or rice or .... But perhaps people with hearty appetites don't deserve such beautiful food? Or perhaps it would somehow spoil the ambience to provide enough to eat? Bondir is certainly not alone in this regard. Many posh restaurants in Boston seem to assume that their patrons will, as my husband sometimes does, stop for something to eat before or after.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BONIRMEMSDINNINGDined on 8/2/2014It may be small in space, but huge in atmosphere and menu: The chef presents a virtual canvas of delight, and the tasting are such a treat. My favorite special placeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bondir ExperienceBostonVIPDined on 7/31/2014Enjoyed Bondir - felt the food was delicious, if a bit "precious", as well as small portions, while being on the expensive side. The service was good, but our waiter was a touch arrogant.Special Features:
- Lovely experienceDesertdiverVIPDined on 7/26/2014Ate here with several friends on Saturday night. It was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious. It was creative without being ostentatious. The wine list was varied and reasonably well-priced. The wait staff was outstanding. Look forward to going back and have already recommended to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic -- again!SpinnerVIPDined on 7/26/2014We cannot say enough good things about Bondir Cambridge. The food is outstanding and the staff courteous and professional. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- Attention paid to everythingOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/26/2014The food was outstanding -- a place for foodies. The dishes were beautifully presented, and every dish was created with care. The flavors were complex, subtle, fresh-- sometimes it was like eating art.Special Features:
- Remarkable ExperienceRonaldDined on 7/21/2014We had a great dinner at Bondir. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was very quiet, almost like we were alone in the restaurant. A great experience!Special Features:

- Amazing!GatunaDined on 7/16/2014Great ambiance, delicious food plate after plate and wonderful service!!!! Thanks for a perfect dinner experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingFeedMeDined on 7/14/2014Went for the food and found it to be very disappointing. I know they change their menu frequently, but I couldn't help but feel they would be better off developing a few outstanding dishes and keeping them on the menu (at least for a season). Some the courses ranged from bland, flavors that did not go well together, or just plain bad. One course consisted of mackerel and potatoes. I typically don't like mackerel (and discovered I still don't), but the potatoes seemed like just plain boiled potato chunks. Just not an inspiring meal and felt it was a waste, especially given the cost. Also felt the service was not very good. We walked in the door and got a look from the hostess that said, "what do you want"?
- Excellent food and serviceThoughtfulReviewerDined on 7/12/2014We enjoyed their four course prix fixe dinner. The restaurant is very small and reminiscent of a little French bistro. Highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LileDined on 6/30/2014The food was really amazing. We could feel that the Chef pays great importance to the choice and quality of the products. The doneness of every single vegetable, meat piece or seafood was close to perfection. Vibrant tastes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply AmazingWillowDined on 6/29/2014The level of sophistication on the plate here is quite stunning. Every course is prepared with infinite attention to detail and quality. The flavors are complex and often surprising. This is combined with a very casual ambience and service that is very professional and yet friendly and warm at the same time. Highly recommended if you're interested in surprising your palate every now and again.Special Features:
- Charming & delightfullovelytableDined on 6/26/2014A sweet little spot, intimate & unique... from the menu to the atmosphere. My husband & I adored it for our anniversary. And the food was delicious. xSpecial Features:
- One of few best meals of my lifeSteveLanielDined on 6/25/2014My girlfriend and I went here for a special meal just before she moves to Baltimore for a year, so we wanted something really special; Bondir did not disappoint. We're vegetarian, and Bondir was happy to accommodate us. Altogether this was one of the most special meals we've ever had, and it lived up to all our expectations. Including a lovely prix-fixe meal, two glasses of wine and one glass of prosecco, and tax and tip, the bill came to about $115 per person -- worth every penny.Special Features:
- A gematmosphericVIPDined on 6/23/2014Jason Bond makes food into poetry: beautiful and a joy to consume. We especially appreciated his willingness to make vegetarian dishes which were well prepared and presented, not an afterthought, or even grudging as some upscale chefs are unfortunately prone to do.Special Features:

He has called Frank Mir an idol, but on Saturday UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub was critical of the former champion's game plan versus Daniel Cormier.
Serving as an analyst for FOX 11's Cage Talk, Schaub was asked what he thought about Mir's game plan.
"Hated it," Schaub said. "Let's be honest, I could not stand it."
"Why would you just stand there and get beat up on the cage?" Schaub continued. "Why not at least drop down and try to pull half guard?"
In preparation for Cormier, Mir, for the first time in his career, moved his fight camp from his hometown of Las Vegas to train with the famed Greg Jackson team in New Mexico.
"You go to Albuquerque, you change camps trying to get a new look and this is what you do?" Schaub said. "You got 8 weeks in Albuquerque and this is what you brought to the octagon? It's disappointing and I'm the biggest Frank Mir fan around."
In regards to Benson Henderson, Schaub, a Denver native, recounts his first encounter with the current lightweight king.
"Ben and I go back a long way, probably about 7 years ago my very first day in the gym, I'm pulling the door open and Ben Henderson walks through," Schaub said. "He'd only been there about a week, it's my first day and we kind of hit it off and started talking and I ask him, 'What's your goal?' He says, 'Get to the UFC.'"
"He asks me, 'What's yours?'" Schaub said. "'Get to the UFC.' I don't see him for about 6 years later when we're both in the UFC and doing pretty well."
The Fox card brought with it a big shakeup in FOX 11's portion of the UFC Fighter Rankings.
Regarding Gilbert Melendez, the close decision loss moved him down from first to third just ahead of his longtime nemesis, Josh Thomson.
Thomson who was previously unranked by FOX 11 made a tremendous leap up the lightweight rankings to fourth.
The 155'er known as "The Punk" did what no man has ever been able to Nate Diaz in any weight class: stop him with strikes.
In his 24 previous professional battles, Diaz had only been stopped once and that was via submission.
Thomson was able to wobble the extremely durable Diaz with a clean head kick, before landing two right hooks that would send Diaz sprawling on the mat.
Thomson would land a few more ground strikes before the referee stopped the fight. The stoppage came at the exact same moment Diaz's corner was throwing in the towel.
The impressive performance, coupled with a resume featuring wins over Gilbert Melendez, Gesias Cavalcante, Nam Phan, K.J. Noons and Hermes Franca, launched Thomson into FOX 11's top five lightweights.

text: Posted Online: April 06, 2013, 9:17 pm Educators discuss President Lincoln's many talents Comment on this story By Laura Anderson Shaw, email@example.com Photo: Laura Anderson Shaw Augustana College history professor Dr. Stephen Warren gives a presentation on President Abraham Lincoln on Saturday night at A Lincoln Symposium: Scholars From the Land of Lincoln at Western Illinois University-Quad Cities Riverfront Campus in Moline.WIU history professor Dr. Timothy Roberts and Black Hawk College sociology and psychology professor Dr. William Hampes also gave presentations at the event, which was hosted by each of the schools. To gear up for next Saturday's49th Convocation and Investiture of the Lincoln Academy of Illinois at Augustana College in Rock Island, roughly a dozen people gathered for A Lincoln Symposium: Scholars From the Land of Lincoln on Saturday afternoon at Western Illinois University Quad Cities Riverfront Campus in Moline. The event was put on by Western Illinois University, Augustana College and Black Hawk College. WIU-QC Vice President Joe Rives, who moderated the event, and Kai Swanson, Augustana College's executive assistant to the president, said the Lincoln Academy hasn't been held in the Quad-Cities since 1973. To celebrate and gear up for the event, the three schools organized the symposium, which included a roughly 30-minute video on Lincoln's childhood and transition into adulthood, as well as presentations by Augustana history professor Dr. Stephen Warren, WIU history professor Dr. Timothy Roberts andBlack Hawk College sociology and psychology professor Dr. William Hampes. The video illustrated how President Lincoln was formed by "the Indiana experience," the losses he experienced as a child and as an adult. It touched on his fascination with reading, writing, garnering a sense of community through reading newspapers, and his appreciation for humor. It also discussed the ways in which he was raised, in communities and in a family that did not agree with slavery, and what an experience a flat boat trip down the river from Illinois to New Orleans could be. After the video, Dr. Roberts, Dr. Warren and Dr. Hampes each offered comments about President Lincoln. "Lincoln was a lonely guy ... struggling with trying to convince people to back him," Dr. Roberts said after the event. President Lincoln had a "vision of what the country could become," Dr. Roberts said, not that America was a nation that was better than the rest but that it could simply be better, in a "humble" way, that America had a global responsibility. If democracy failed in America, "it may not recover," Dr. Roberts said. President Lincoln was called too conservative, too radical, misogynistic, Dr. Roberts said. "It's a lonely place." Dr. Hampes told the crowd President Lincoln's personality was uniquely suited to use and appreciate humor, and he did so in many ways. He said President Lincoln often told jokes and stories, and the video before the scholars' presentations noted he often would act out scenes from the books he read or from guests who visited. Dr. Hampes said President Lincoln used these gestures to entertain others; to get others to defend themselves and to deflect criticism; to reduce stress; to teach; to get people to vote for him and allow people to be persuaded by him. He was creative, open-minded and empathetic, Dr. Hampes said, and he had "an affinity for humor." Dr. Warren said President Lincoln was "a product of frontier Illinois," good and bad. He had to sell the idea of anti-slavery, and while many historians may maintain he was a "flip-flopper," he was consistent on his stance of natural rights, Dr. Warren said. "He grew up in an ugly period," Dr. Warren told the crowd. After the event, he said President Lincoln had the ability as a president to not only help himself but to help the country transcend that. The Lincoln Academy of Illinois will be at 6 p.m. Saturday in Centennial Hall, Augustana College, 3703 7th Ave., Rock Island. Augustana College PresidentSteve Bahls and his wife, Jane, will represent Augustana College, and Samuel and Marsha Allen will represent Deere & Co. as ceremony co-hosts. The Order of Lincoln, the state's highest award for individual achievement, will be "given to those who have spent a significant portion of their lives in Illinois or were born in the state, and those who embody the principles of our 16th president," Lincoln Academy President Julie Kellner said earlier this year. A reception will follow in the Denkmann Memorial Building on campus.

A number of model community anti-drug coalitions lost their funding after the federal drug czar's office threw out peer-review scores typically used to award the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) grants, instead allowing a small group of in-house reviewers to use a different set of criteria to decide who got funded, prevention field leaders charge.
In a rare instance of public discord with the federal government, Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) urged its members to write to President Bush and drug czar John Walters to object to a "flawed" process for selecting the most recent grantees under the Drug Free Communities Act.
Gen. Arthur Dean, president and CEO of CADCA, said that while all applicants underwent the standard peer-review process and received a score, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) — which directs the program in partnership with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA's) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention — decided to throw out those scores.
ONDCP then established a small review group that judged the applicants based on a set of 10 criteria that CADCA officials said were not fully disclosed to the public. "We were told that SAMHSA did peer-review everyone, but when we saw that those scores weren't used to make the decisions … it led us to raise these serious concerns," said Dean.
Jennifer DeVallance, an ONDCP spokesperson, said that the 2005 Drug Free Communities grant competition "was an extremely competitive process and one that was implemented with the highest levels of integrity."
"To suggest otherwise is to highlight an ignorance of the facts and the unfortunate reality that resources are limited and not every applicant can receive funds," she said.
However, ONDCP did not respond to repeated requests to explain why the grantee scoring was discarded in favor of the new criteria, to identify the makeup of the review committee that made the funding decisions, or to reveal the scores of the programs that were de-funded. SAMHSA referred all questions about the DFC process to ONDCP.
"Coalitions did not have the opportunity to respond to the specific administrative reasons determined by ONDCP to disqualify them," said Dean. "Grantees still have not been told the specific reasons that their grants were determined ineligible for funding."
Politicized Process
John Carnevale, a former ONDCP planning and budget staffer and head of the policy consulting firm Carnevale Associates, said ONDCP's decision to involve itself in the grantmaking process went against the intent of Congress, which he said placed DFC in the juvenile-justice program office in the Justice Department to avoid have funding decisions colored by politics. "By being part of the grant review process, ONDCP has politicized the process," said Carnevale. "ONDCP is not an expert on grants review — it's a policy shop."
CADCA issued an alert to its membership on Sept. 23 saying that in the latest round of Drug-Free Communities grantmaking, announced by ONDCP on Sept. 21, "63 current grantees that were eligible for continuation funding were terminated without due process. Further, 88 other coalitions were placed on a high-risk (probationary) status with no prior notice, and only given 30 days to come into compliance."
"The procedure that was used to determine who would receive funding in FY 2005 undermined the confidence in the administration to conduct a fair and impartial grant process," CADCA said in its alert, adding, "CADCA believes that the grant process should have consistent and clear eligibility requirements and review scores relevant to the funding determination."
CADCA urged members to write to the Bush administration to ask for a "fair and impartial appeals process to challenge the arbitrary nature of the decision-making process" and to ensure that "any future process used to determine DFC grantees is fair and equitable."
Ten Criteria Instead of Scores
The 603 coalitions that applied for continuation funding were required to comply with a list of 10 standards set forth by Congress in the original Drug-Free Communities Act, said DeVallance, such as proving that they have nonfederal matching funds, support community-based coalitions as defined in the funding announcement, and are addressing federal goals for the program.
"These criteria were established by Congress in the Drug-Free Communities Act and are not new," said DeVallance. "Each application was subjected to a competitive peer-review process. If a coalition did not demonstrate compliance with all of the criteria, they were not funded."
DeVallance said that 90 percent of coalitions applying for continuation funding were able to demonstrate compliance; these coalitions were then evaluated to ensure that they met the federal requirement of using a maximum of 20 percent of federal funding for program implementation.
"Those coalitions that did not meet this criteria — 88 of them — were placed on "high risk" status and given 30 days to submit a budget that indicates compliance with the program's policy on this issue," said DeVallance. "The "high risk" coalitions were notified in writing to this effect. No existing coalition — not one — was denied funding because of failure to meet this requirement."
Addressing one of the key complaints of coalition leaders — that they were not given notice of deficiencies in their applications or time to correct them — DeVallance said that the application period had been extended and that coalitions had been offered technical assistance. "Additionally, those coalitions that did not receive continuation funds are able to apply next year without any prejudice and will have technical assistance available," she said.
But CADCA officials said that only six of the 10 criteria were in the original legislation, and that some of the best coalitions in the country lost their funding for such minor infractions as having incomplete meeting minutes or spending one percent more than the 20 percent limit on program implementation — a standard they contend was loosely defined to begin with. "If they discontinued coalitions for administrative reasons and give the money to those with lower scores, our position is that that doesn't track," said Dean.
Four Days from Penthouse to Outhouse
Harry Kressler, executive director of the Pima Prevention Partnership Coalition in Pima, Ariz., said his coalition passed a SAMHSA site visit with flying colors just four days before being notified by ONDCP that they were losing their $100,000 DFC grant. "To be told four days later that you're 'not a coalition' means those site visits were meaningless," said Kressler, whose program was one of the original community partnerships established by CSAP in 1991, and has received DFP funding for the past seven years. "Why audit us when the findings are not used?" he asked.
Kressler said federal officials told him that Pima lost its funding because reviewers believed that meeting minutes submitted with the coalition's renewal application showed that the program was no longer community-based, but rather school-based, thus making it ineligible for funding. Kressler said reviewers may have misinterpreted discussions about a new charter school that the coalition founded for addicted adolescents. "The [ONDCP] criteria opened the process up to making decisions based on opinion and interpretation, not fact," he said.
In a July 2004 letter regarding the transfer of the program from the Justice Department to CSAP, SAMHSA and ONDCP told DFC grantees that some changes might be put into place regarding accounting and data collection.
"However, we want to assure you that we are taking steps to ensure that there will be no lapse in your funds, that any new requirements due to this transfer will be minimal, that there will be no requirement to reapply or re-compete for funds already awarded," said the letter, signed by SAMHSA Administrator Charles Curie, Mary Ann Solberg, deputy director of ONDCP, Keri-Lyn Coleman, ONDCP's acting administrator of the the Drug Free Communities program, and Robert Flores, administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in the Justice Department.
However, groups like the Pima partnership were later told they had to reapply for funding even though they had already been approved for multiyear grants. "HHS required and ONDCP agreed that all existing grantees reapply (this year only) for Year 2, 3, 4, or 5 funding," said ONDCP's DeVallance.
Kressler called the concept of competitive continuation funding "an oxymoron."
"We don't know what the agenda of ONDCP is," he said, adding: "Decisions were made in a vacuum."
The decisionmaking on DFC grants, combined with the Bush administration's proposals to eliminate the Safe and Drug Free Schools program and cut CSAP's budget, leads some observers to question the administration's commitment to drug prevention. "I'm concerned that the policy of the federal government is to get out of the prevention business," said Carnevale.
ONDCP announced $72 million in Drug Free Communities grant awards on Sept. 21, including $17.1 million for matching grants in 176 new communities and $54 million in continuation grants to 535 existing community coalitions. Also, $1.7 million was awarded for 24 new Drug Free Communities Support Mentoring Programs, along with $929,470 in continuation funding for 13 existing mentoring programs.

MADISON (WKOW) -- With elevated prices across much of the country for prolonged periods, 2012 brought the highest average price ever for U.S. consumers: $3.60 per gallon.
Average retail gasoline prices in the La Crosse area have dropped three cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.19/g Sunday. This compares with the national average that has increased 3.0 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.27/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in the La Crosse area during the past week, prices yesterday were nine cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 18 cents per gallon lower than a month ago compared to the rest of the state. The national average has decreased 13.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 1.7 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"2012 was a year that focused the spotlight on our nation's oil refineries; it showed us the vulnerability of our infrastructure and what can happen to prices at the pump when infrastructure is compromised. We began the year with a BP refinery fire in Cherry Point, WA that caused massive spikes on the west coast. The spring delivered challenges for Great Lakes refineries and pushed Chicago gas prices to a record high. Similarly, the California summer saw major refinery outages there and new record high prices," said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst.

Callinan A Standout At Massachusetts Maritime
By: Dan Crowley, October 22, 2013
She has played soccer for most of her life. Massachusetts Maritime Academy freshman Aoife Callinan grew up in neighboring Falmouth, where she played youth soccer, Mass Premier Soccer and for four seasons was a member of the Falmouth High School team. In her senior season she was a team captain and an Atlantic Coast League All-Star. She has also played in the Cape Cod Women's Soccer League.
With a lifetime of experience behind her, she stepped into her center midfielder's role for the Buccaneers and continued to do what she has always done—score goals. On October 9, Callinan scored twice in Massachusetts Maritime's 7-0 victory over Pine Manor College. But what made those two goals special was the fact that in scoring them she helped the Buccaneers set a school record for most wins in a season, notched the 100th collegiate career win for head coach Ray Cabral, and earned herself Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week honors.
Callinan is the third member of her family to attend Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Her sister Shauna graduated from the academy in 2012 with a degree in international maritime business and has recently returned from China. Shauna, a 2007 graduate of Falmouth High School and a member of the Clipper lacrosse team, played on the inaugural MMA women's lacrosse team as a senior at the academy. Finton Callinan, a 2008 graduate of Falmouth High and currently a senior on the Buzzards Bay campus and a marine transportation major, played soccer at FHS for four seasons, but due to knee problems wasn't able to join the Buccaneer team.
While at Falmouth High, Aoife was also a captain of the girls' golf team and sailed for the Clippers as a freshman. For the last six years she has taken part in the Falmouth Road Race, raising money for the Cape Cod Center for Women. Last year she raised more than $5,000.
Several factors weighed into her decision to attend Massachusetts Maritime; location, affordability and the fact that the academy offered her the type of career that she was looking for.
"It just made sense for all of us to go to school here," she said of MMA. "You can get a job if you go to school here, and I wanted to work in the field of environmental engineering and they offer that major here. I considered Wentworth Institute of Technology and would have had a spot on the soccer team if I had gone there."
Callinan is planning to major in energy systems engineering at Massachusetts Maritime and will continue to play soccer. Coach Cabral recently moved her from center midfield to forward and the move paid off.

Not that many years ago, it seemed the only people doing genealogy work were Mormons.
In recent years, it's become increasingly popular. A bit of a fad for some. The subject of intense interest for many people. And the subject of a new series on PBS.
'Genealogy Roadshow'
The series premieres Monday, Sept. 23, at 8 p.m. on PBS/Channel 7.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Following in the footsteps of "Antiques Roadshow" — which it follows on the PBS schedule — "Genealogy Roadshow" debuts on Monday.
There is an obvious difference between the two. In the former, people show up with items they want appraised; in the latter, it's less random. PBS stations solicited genealogy questions and researched them before putting anyone on TV.
"These are very specific questions," said executive producer Stuart Krasnow. "It's not just, 'Oh, tell me everything about my roots, where I came from.' It's really, 'We want to know if we are related to Abraham Lincoln,' for instance."
At that point, researchers and DNA experts go to work to prove or disprove family lore. "And then the stories that have, sort of, the most interesting results are the ones that we feature on the show," Krasnow said.
In Monday's premiere, people who think they're related to George Washington, Davey Crockett or Jesse James learn whether they actually are. Or whether they're related to the famously feuding Hatfield clan. Or find out the facts behind a family photo.
Or, in one case, a young woman learns about the father she never met.
All this happens as an audience "oooohs" and "aaaahs," laughs and cries as the results of the research are revealed. The links to people's past. The good news and the bad.
"It's amazing seeing the crowd be so invested," Krasnow said, "because [the investigations] are really a mystery story and you get a lot of 'aha' moments."
And the DNA tests give people an idea where they came from — and where they didn't come from.
"We constantly get folks that think that they have Native American ancestry," said researcher Kenyatta Berry, president of the Association of Professional Genealogists. "That is the most popular thing in genealogy."
"We have a couple of those moments on the show where you have to stand in front of someone whose family has told a story for two or three generations and you break the news that, well, actually the DNA says that that isn't correct," said Joshua Taylor.
There's plenty of old-fashioned research involved, too. And some of that takes place right here in Salt Lake City, which Berry called "the Mecca of genealogy."
"We all go there. We love it," Berry said. "The [LDS Family History] Library is huge, and there's people there that will help you. … They've always been very supportive of what we do, and they've also really wanted to make sure people have access to those records."
Taylor was equally enthusiastic.
"The Mormon Church has really done a gift for family history," he said, pointing to all the work that's been done copying birth and death records from around the world.
"I went to New Zealand last week, and they were talking about Christchurch and how the records were destroyed. And it's the Mormons who gave the records back to those communities because they'd microfilmed them," he said. "And we, as genealogists, can tap into that same record set and do research for 'Genealogy Roadshow.' "
