This review is from: SAMSUNG 830 Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PC256B/WW
Pros: Great drive at a great price (at the time.) There are less expensive drives out now, but when I purchased this, it was a sweetheart of a deal. Read/write rates are astonishing, and there have been zero issues with stability. Highly recommended.
Cons: NoneREAD FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Corsair Vengeance K90 Black/Metal USB Wired Gaming Performance, MMO Mechanical Keyboard
Pros: Mechanical keys that feel very substantial and durable. Adjustable key backlighting, 18 macro keys with memory configurations, and onboard media buttons make this a gamer's dream.
Cons: After about one year (of heavy use mind you) a few of the keys started double and triple tapping on single key presses, and a couple keys would not press until pressed several times. Noticed the worst of it in the number pad. Typically I would deduct two or more stars for this, but considering I can rarely find a good keyboard that will last for more than a year of heavy gaming, I just deducted one. The profile software for setting up the macro keys, works decently, but leaves a bit to be desired.
Other Thoughts: If you're like me and only get about a year or two out of a gaming keyboard, then this one will do dandy. In the end, this model is actually a bit more durable and reliable than most.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Seagate SV35.6 ST1000VX000 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Surveillance Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Made a nice secondary drive (I run an SSD as primary.) Read/write speeds are as can be expected. Nothing too fancy, but for the price, a rock solid drive.

Diisocyanate Antibody Test
Preventing disease through proactive surveillance
Order Forms
Diisocyanate chemicals used to make polyurethane (e.g. coatings, foams) are well-known to cause asthma. The diisocyanate antibody (DiAb) test determines whether or not you have been exposed to diisocyanates. The test works by measuring the level of specific proteins of the immune system (antibodies) that recognize and bind to the diisocyanate chemical. Diisocyanate antibodies are not normally present in blood, but are triggered by exposure, which generally occurs in the workplace (diisocyanates are man-made chemicals, not found naturally). Thus, the presence of diisocyanate antibodies serves as a practical indicator of exposure. Most commonly, antibodies triggered by diisocyanate exposure are of the gamma isotype (IgG); however, in some individuals, exposure elicits diisocyanate antibodies of the epsilon isotype (IgE), which are typically associated with allergy and asthma. Diisocyanate antibodies of the IgE isotype, if present, correlate strongly with "diisocyanate asthma", and thus serve as a indicator of the disease.

Re: Trivandrum to Periyar
Few years ago , i went to Periyar National PArk. we stayed at Thekaddy . my taxi driver took us from Trivandrum (Kavalom) to Thekaddy - it seemed to take whole day. then we went to cochin.

Off-Campus Study Tuition and Aid
Individual Financial Aid Counseling
If you are interested in how your off-campus study choices will impact your financial aid or your out-of-pocket cost, you may use the calculator below or contact the Office of Financial Aid to schedule an individual appointment.
Estimated Aid Calculator
Worksheets are available to help you compare the cost of studying off campus vs. studying in Grinnell, determine estimated financial aid available, determine direct and indirect expenses, and give you an idea of the estimated out of pocket to study off campus.
Based on your current financial aid, choose one of the options below for the most accurate estimation.
- My current award includes Grinnell Grant or Questbridge Grant - use this Calculator.
- My current award does not include Grinnell Grant or Questbridge Grant - use this Calculator.
- If your award includes ACM, GLCA, or Staff Tuition Remission and you plan to attend a program other than Grinnell-in-London or Grinnell-in-Washington, please schedule an individual appointment by calling 641-269-3250.
If you have questions, contact the Office of Financial Aid for assistance.

Cost Information
2016-17 Estimated Cost Information for Families (Excel File)
Supplement to the Cost Information for Families Spreadsheet - Please review this document in conjunction with "Estimated Cost Information for Families".
Aid Policies Related to Off-Campus Study
Please review the following documents:
Students approved for off-campus study (OCS) programs who wish to receive aid must go through the same financial aid process as students intending to remain on campus. All financial aid deadlines and requirements still apply. Awards for the fall semester are generally mailed in June, and awards for the spring semester are mailed in November.
Certain conditions apply to OCS that may affect your award:
Trustee Honor Scholarships and Grinnell International Grants can be used for OCS but cannot be adjusted upwards to reflect increased costs.
Tuition Remission benefits can only be applied to Grinnell-in-London and Grinnell-in-Washington OCS.
Students are not permitted to work abroad. Therefore, Federal Work-study eligibility may be replaced with loan.
Aid will not under any circumstances exceed the cost of attendance.
Unapproved Programs
Students who decide to attend an off-campus study program NOT APPROVED by the OCS Board are not eligible for aid through Grinnell College, nor can Grinnell be responsible for notifying lenders that students have enrolled elsewhere.

As I lay on the ground next to your grave
I think of all the good times we spent together
All the laughing that we shared together
All the tears we had shed together
And when you passed away to leave me here alone
I cried that you wouldn't leave me behind in this baron land
And as I lay next to you here right now I realize I'm not alone but your soul is with me
That you've always been beside me after you died that day
I feel so sad I wasn't there to protect you and I'm so sorry for not giving my life for yours
Don't leave the gates of Heaven just yet but wait for me there and never forget
The love I had given you and the trust that you gave me
And on that day you died you told me to cry for you and pray for you
Every night ever since then I've prayed and cried for you
Just like you said for me to do
But never forget what I told you that day too
To always wait for me to come through the gates of heaven
Then I'll be happy again right there with you
Always be by my side forever
And I'll do the same for you

Activity-based anorexia is behavior characterized by high levels of activity, low levels of food consumption, and extreme weight loss. The first experiment examined weight loss, physical activity, and food consumption during a typical activity-based anorexia procedure, defined as food access for one hour per day and access to a running wheel for the remaining 23 hours. A control group also was used. The second experiment was a fading procedure designed to interrupt the typical effect. Different groups of rats were used for each of the two experiments and the control group. Baseline always involved free access to food, water, and a locked running wheel for 24 hours daily. The first experiment demonstrated that weight loss occurred during the typical activity-based anorexia condition and that weight gain occurred when those conditions were terminated. Additionally, recovery time, which has previously not been reported, was found to range between one and six days following weight loss. The second experiment demonstrated that the use of a fading procedure was successful in gradually adapting rats' food consumption and physical activity to the changes in those variables so that weights stabilized even during the typical activity-based anorexia procedure.
"One benefit of attending a Ph.D. program at a small liberal arts college is forming connections with faculty who are truly dedicated and accomplished scholars. In fact, being a part of the academic community at Bryn Mawr inspired me to go into academia, and I am now a faculty member at a small university with a liberal arts foundation."

Family Abuse and the Bible by Aimee K. Cassiday-Shaw
Book DescriptionLearn the fundamental distinctions with this thoughtful study of Christ-ordained marriage! This unique volume reconciles a Biblical interpretation of marriage with the reality of domestic violence. Designed to raise awareness of abuse issues within the born-again community, Family Abuse and the Bible: The Scriptural Perspective works to promote the genuine sanctity of marriage and headship of the husband by examining the ways this God-given position can be subverted by Satan. It combines close Biblical exegesis with psychological insight into the effects of verbal, sexual, physical, and spiritual abuse. Family Abuse and the Bible offers new hope to conservative Christian women in abusive relationships. It demonstrates that abuse is not the will of God and that submission to violence is actually giving in to demonic forces. The tools in this book can ultimately free them from the horror of an abuse they may feel is ordained by God, while leaving them with an intact source of strength in their faith. Secular therapists and counselors will find Family Abuse and the Bible an essential resource that can help them remain sensitive to the needs of abused Christian women. This book explains conservative Christian beliefs about marriage, while providing powerful Biblical justifications that will reach Christian clients when secular ideas fail. Family Abuse and the Bible offers a clear-sighted Scriptural interpretation of domestic violence issues, including: * the link between drugs and demonic possession * the ways abusers twist the Scriptures to justify their ungodly actions * the cycle of violence * the role of repentance and forgiveness * the difference between Biblical headship and abuse This book is an essential tool for pastors, Christian counselors, and family therapists who work with Christian clients and also for husbands and wives who want the Lord's will for their marriage.

Washington Redskins
Washington Redskins news, rumors and injuries
Redskins | WAS unlikely to pursue Latavius Murray
Mon, 27 Feb 2017 16:58:37 -0800
Oakland Raiders impending free-agent RB Latavius Murray is not expected to be an option for the Washington Redskins during free agency, in the opinion of CSNMidAtlantic.com's Rich Tandler.
Fantasy Tip: Murray is not expected to return to the Raiders but should receive interest from a few teams during free agency. He may not be able to find a starting job but should have a solid role with a team in 2017. He probably should be considered a No. 3 fantasy running back at this point. Rob Kelley likely will be the starter for the Redskins and can be considered a No. 2 or No. 3 back for fantasy owners.

Redskins | Kirk Cousins should be tagged
Mon, 27 Feb 2017 11:04:02 -0800
Washington Redskins QB Kirk Cousins is expected to receive the franchise tag before the franchise tag deadline Wednesday, March 1.
Fantasy Tip: This won't be a big surprise if/when it happens. It makes sense for Washington to tag Cousins again so they have more time to discuss a long-term contract. Cousins has solidified his place in QB1 territory after the last two years. Expect another season of 4,000 or more yards and at least a couple dozen touchdowns.

Redskins | Josh Doctson nearing full health
Mon, 27 Feb 2017 06:55:02 -0800
Washington Redskins WR Josh Doctson (Achilles') is expected to be 100 percent by the end of March.
Fantasy Tip: Doctson could have a large role with the team with Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson likely to hit the open market. He's a WR4 option with upside depending on where he lands on the depth chart.

Redskins | DeAngelo Hall could be released
Sat, 25 Feb 2017 07:35:12 -0800
The Washington Redskins could part ways with FS DeAngelo Hall, who has missed 31 games over the last three seasons and is slated to make $4.25 million in 2017, according to CSNMidAtlantic.com's Rich Tandler. There is also a chance that he could return at a lower salary.

Redskins | Washington interested in Kenny Britt
Fri, 24 Feb 2017 15:20:49 -0800
The Washington Redskins are showing interest in Los Angeles Rams impending free-agent WR Kenny Britt. Britt would be interested in the Redskins if QB Kirk Cousins is their starting quarterback, according to sources.
Fantasy Tip: The Redskins could lose DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon in free agency this offseason, so Britt may have a significant role if he signed with the Redskins. He posted 1,002 yards and five touchdowns in 2016 and should receive interest from multiple teams. He probably would be a No. 3 or No. 4 fantasy receiver if he signs with Washington.

Redskins | Washington to talk to own FAs at combine
Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:28:12 -0800
The Washington Redskins have yet to engage in talks with any of their players with expiring contracts - a list that includes impending free agents WR Pierre Garcon, WR DeSean Jackson, TE Vernon Davis, DE Chris Baker. However, multiple sources report the Redskins expect to meet with the representatives of their impending free agents at the NFL Scouting Combine next week.
Fantasy Tip: It's a common practice for front office personnel and player reps to discuss contracts at the combine, although Washington is making an already very long week even longer by handling its business in this manner. Garcon and Jackson are each expected to command at least $9 million in their next contracts, so both players could be on different teams next season. It's a virtual certainty at least one will not come back.

Redskins | Josh Doctson running drills
Fri, 24 Feb 2017 08:33:38 -0800
Washington Redskins WR Josh Doctson (Achilles') was doing drills at the team's facility Friday, Feb. 24.
Fantasy Tip: Doctson could have a large role next year with Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson potentially gone. He'll have to prove it in camp, though. He's a WR4 option with upside depending on how things shake out.

Redskins | Kirk Cousins red-hot during middle of 2016
Wed, 22 Feb 2017 20:30:18 -0800
Impending free-agent QB Kirk Cousins was mostly average as a passer in September (79-of-124 for 989 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions) and December (85-of-134, 1,090 yards, four TDs and three interceptions) but excelled in October and November (combined 220-of-313 for 2,551 yards, 17 TDs and four interceptions).
Fantasy Tip: Included in that midseason explosion was a 375-yard, three-score performance against a shorthanded Green Bay Packers secondary and garbage-time inspired 449-yard, three-TD effort on Thanksgiving Day against the Dallas Cowboys. Cousins is likely to receive the franchise tag soon, but it fair to wonder if he deserves it. He is certain to be drafted as a QB1 in the likely event he remains with Washington this season, but he could disappoint with DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garçon likely departing via free agency.

Redskins | DeSean Jackson wants to play with great QB
Tue, 21 Feb 2017 19:07:07 -0800
Washington Redskins WR DeSean Jackson said that if he leaves the team in free agency, he wants to play with a "great quarterback." When asked about QB Kirk Cousins, he referred to him as "great" as well.
Fantasy Tip: Jackson has also been linked to the Eagles and Buccaneers, both led by young quarterbacks who have the potential to be great one day, but with Jackson entering the latter portion of his career, he might prefer to stick with a more established option like Cousins. Despite being 30 years old, Jackson proved this past season he still has more than enough left in the tank, and can still offer solid value depending on where he ends up in 2017.

Redskins | Kirk Cousins tag would bloat cap space
Tue, 21 Feb 2017 06:41:53 -0800
Washington Redskins impending free-agent QB Kirk Cousins, who could potentially receive the franchise tag at $23.9 million, would account for 35 percent of the team's salary cap with CB Josh Norman ($20 million) and OT Trent Williams ($15.1 million).
Fantasy Tip: Cousins' numbers were on par, in some places better, than his breakout 2015 campaign. He has proven to be a solid fantasy option in the low-end QB1 range.

Redskins | Kirk Cousins won't sign long-term deal?
Mon, 20 Feb 2017 21:36:53 -0800
Washington Redskins QB Kirk Cousins will not sign a long-term deal prior to the March 1 deadline when the club can apply the franchise tag, according to "a source with knowledge of the situation."
Fantasy Tip: Well, even if that is the case, the Redskins can still lock up Cousins over the long haul by turning a potential franchise tag into a long-term contract, and the deadline for that would be July 15. Either way, it looks like Cousins will be entering his sixth straight campaign in a Washington uniform, and after another fabulous showing in 2016, he'll have low-end QB1 potential.

Redskins | DeSean Jackson to receive strong interest
Sun, 19 Feb 2017 12:33:32 -0800
Washington Redskins impending free-agent WR DeSean Jackson is expected to receive strong interest once free agency begins because he is still only of the fastest receivers in the NFL even though he is 30 years old.
Fantasy Tip: Jackson has posted at least 1,000 yards in three of the last four seasons and has recorded four touchdowns in each of the last two seasons. Jackson should be a starting receiver for whoever he plays for in 2017 and can be a No. 3 receiver for fantasy owners.

Redskins | Jordan Reed endorses Kirk Cousins
Sat, 18 Feb 2017 19:16:47 -0800
Washington Redskins TE Jordan Reed said bringing back impending free-agent QB Kirk Cousins should be a top priority this offseason.
Fantasy Tip: Reed is one of the best fantasy tight ends in the game when he isn't dealing with injuries. If Cousins is back under center in Washington in 2017, Reed should remain a TE1 in all formats.

Lessons Learned: Nothing Can Replace Experience
After a couple of days to process the Mossel Bay experience, here are a couple of lessons learned we'll apply to our next international competition: Learning #1: There is a difference between being flight ready and competition ready. Know the difference and have strategies for both. Flight ready is the ability to execute the figures in sequence to the level of precision you have practiced and are capable of.

The Garden Route
... for some lunch at the local farm shop. This place was amazing, the food was great and they sold so much nice local produce including cheeses, bread, meat, sweets and drinks. Yum. After feeling well fed we did one of the hostels walking routes situated on their grounds. It was only a 45 minute stroll down the valley to a waterfall and back up the steep valley.

Managed to get an internet dongle so will have access to internet but only for checking emails/facebook so can keep in touch but alas can't stream my beloved American TV.

The highlight of this stop would be the dinner we were invited to by a large family group of South African Campers. Dinner was excellent, some sort of Traditional Lamb Stew, and the conversation very lively. Always an education to visit with local people who share their views and thoughts on their country.
A very long week
... but a bit scary as it basically meant we had to put ourselves between the cheetahs and the public and make sure they don't bite or scratch anyone. It's not as bad as it sounds, they generally just need gentle persuasion to do as they're asked. We both went into Thandi and Shaka's enclosures for the guided tours a few times over the course of the day. They're quite well behaved, and the heat today helped as all they wanted to do ...

If you think that parsing Obama's portfolio policy is difficult, what to make of the conflicting signals over Teach For America? On the one hand, Barack Obama has praised Michelle Rhee, the poster-child for Teach For America's impact on American education. Several of his advisors are drawn from the group's alumni and friends. And as I mentioned last week, as far as I can tell, almost 100 percent of the TFAers I know are pulling for Obama to win.
So why on earth is the campaign allowing Linda Darling-Hammond to play surrogate for the Senator and say nasty things about TFA in high-profile events? See for yourself; check out Vaishali Honawar's Teacher Beat post about Tuesday night's Education Week debate and scroll down to the YouTube clip about TFA. You'll hear Lisa Graham Keegan of the McCain campaign promoting the program and LDH attacking it, arguing that it's not the way to "build the profession."
Believe me, we had plenty of policy disagreements within the Bush Administration too (see here, for example). And when they weren't resolved, they festered, and policymaking suffered. Someone--probably Barack Obama himself--is going to have...
Not everyone votes their pocketbook, but if they did, these education leaders would be pulling the lever for John McCain. That's because each one makes $250,000 or more per year:
Joel Klein, New York City Chancellor???????????????????????????????? $250,000 (as of 2005)
John Wilson, NEA Executive Director?????????????????????????????? $258,000 (as of 2005)
Michelle Rhee, D.C. Schools Chancellor???????????????????????? $275,000 (as of 2007)
Alberto Cavalho, Miami-Dade Superintendent???? $275,000 (as of 2008)
Jack Dale, Fairfax Co. (VA) Superintendent???????????? $280,000 (as of 2007)
Arlene Ackerman, Philadelphia Superintendent?? $325,000 (as of 2008)
Randi Weingarten, President, AFT and UFT?????????????? $600,000* $350,000** (as of 2008)
* Update (3:37 p.m.): I just heard from "Janet" in the AFT's press operation, accusing me of "making up" this figure. Not true! If you follow the link, it goes to??Mike Antonucci's??Education Intelligence Agency, where he reports that Randi planned to draw??salaries from both the AFT and UFT. Janet insists otherwise and is working on getting me documentation. She thinks Randi's true salary is in the $350,000 range.??I will make that change when I get confirmation. ??
** Confirmation received. Readers will note that I've now received blog-related calls from both Randi...
That's one heck of a tough question that the next president - whether McCain or Obama - will eventually have to answer. Fordham's Mike Petrilli is trying to help out with a few suggestions. In an op-ed in the Washington Times today he tells leaders to "turn NCLB on its head." He suggests they loosen parts of the law that are excessively tight and tighten parts that are way too loose. Sound like a bad prom dress from the 80s? Not exactly. He lays out a very interesting solution. Mike writes:
Right now, NCLB micromanages the formula and timelines by which schools are labeled and sanctioned, yet it allows states total discretion over the academic standards and tests used to judge schools (and kids) in the first place. These should be flipped. Provide incentives for states to sign up for rigorous nationwide (not federal) standards and tests. Make the results of this testing publicly available, sliced every which way by school and group. But then allow states and districts (or private entities, such as GreatSchools.net) to devise their own school labels and ratings - and let them decide what to do with schools that need help....
That's right, the Gadfly is on top of its game this week. First you'll find Mike responding to the newly minted "Portfoliogate." Does Obama support portfolios as an alternate form of testing or is his still amorphous position on education in general the lesson of the day? Then you'll find a heap of Recommended Readings and Short Reviews (Gadfly was a bit of a bookworm this week--kind of like Rick Hess, who we learned via??the podcast??apparently lives under a rock, eschewing news sources in favor of their heavier leather-bound brethren). So what was on our reading list? Well the new report from AIR caught our attention, as well as the recent report on Australia from OECD. We also bemoaned the sad decision of some districts to move polling places out of schools and expressed our doubt, again, about??the first results of student pay programs. And last but certainly not least, don't miss the plethora of announcements, which are certainly worth a gander! Watch out, in particular, for our newest report... "A Byte at the Apple:??Rethinking Education Data for the Post-NCLB Era."
We know you were waiting with bated breath. All this...
If Barack Obama is a socialist* does that make Robert Samuelson a radical? Writing in today's Washington Post , he calls on young voters to ???get mad??? at their politicians for selling out their interests to the old.
You're being played for chumps. Barack Obama and John McCain want your votes, but they're ignoring your interests. You face a heavily mortgaged future. You'll pay Social Security and Medicare for aging baby boomers. The needed federal tax increase might total 50 percent over the next 25 years. Pension and health costs for state and local workers have doubtlessly been underestimated. There's the expense of decaying infrastructure -- roads, bridges, water pipes. All this will squeeze other crucial government services: education, defense, police.
I tend to think that Samuelson is right, and that within ten or fifteen years we're going to see the era of ever-increasing education budgets come to an end, as revenue is diverted to entitlements and more and more instructional funds are diverted to...
I was thrilled to hear that Barack Obama doesn't want to dump standardized tests and replace them with portfolios. A campaign spokesperson emailed Education Week's Michele McNeil this note last night, in response to my posts: "Senator Obama has said he supports testing but wants to make sure our tests are better and smarter. He does not support replacing the current structure of NCLB with portfolios and to suggest otherwise is a willful misreading of his comprehensive agenda on education." Alexander Russo* quotes Obama himself from his speech in Colorado in May: "This doesn't mean that we won't have a standardized test, I believe children should master that skill as well and that should be part of the assessments and tools that we use to make sure our children are learning. It...
An update to the sushi robot story: USA Today's Greg Toppo has determined that it was bought with federal free-lunch funds--though not a federal earmark. That's too bad, because I'm getting tired of hearing John McCain talk about an ???overhead projector??? when he could be talking about a sushi robot.
My post about Obama surrogate Melody Barnes's embrace of student portfolios is causing concern within the edusphere. Eduflack notes that ???Retreads of failed experiments are certainly not innovations in education improvement.??? Robert Pondiscio at the Core Knowledge Blog pleads ???Say it ain't so, O,??? and argues that ???portfolios were found to be completely unreliable??as large-scale accountability measures years ago.???
But Michele McNeil, a bona fide reporter, insists on Education Week's Campaign K-12 blog that this position is neither new nor newsworthy.
We've heard Obama's many advisers talk about portfolios before, and in August, Obama himself at a campaign event in Virginia said: "We should come up with teachers, what are the best ways to assess performance. You know, peer review, portfolios, or a mix of things that help us evaluate. And are we measuring progress during the course of a year." In November during one of his first big education policy speeches in New Hampshire, he held up one school district's use of "digital portfolios" as a model of how to reform assessments. And here, the American...
I had the honor of appearing on the Diane Rehm Show this morning, along with D.C. schools chancellor Michelle Rhee, Lisa Graham Keegan of the McCain campaign, Melody Barnes of the Obama campaign, Greg Toppo of USA Today, and Rick Kahlenberg of the Century Foundation. We discussed the candidates' education proposals, and all went according to plan until about halfway through the segment when Melody said that Obama wanted to look at different kinds of student assessments, including portfolios.
Portfolios? As Greg and I said on the air, this was news. We're not aware of the Obama camp ever saying before that portfolios might be part of the mix. I'm pretty sure I could hear Kati Haycock screaming from a few miles away. (And I bet that George Miller, the chairman of the House Education Committee, won't be so happy with this development either.) After all, several states experimented with using portfolios as large-scale assessments back in the 90s, and they were found to be completely unreliable, as their grading relies on subjective judgments to a large degree. If you think "adequate yearly progress" is complicated and leads to insane results, wait till you introduce portfolios. With...

Former Ghosts (Xiu Xiu/Zola Jesus) To Kick Off Fall Tour at Trunk Space
Nika Roza, Jamie Stewart and Freddy Rupert (pictured) are kicking off their first tour as Former Ghosts at Trunk Space
Jamie Stewart, mastermind behind prolific indie riockers Xiu Xiu, has decided to not only form a new trio, but to have that band kick off their first tour at Phoenix's Trunk Space. Stewart's new collaboration is named Former Ghosts (a pretty sweet name if you ask me) and it consists of Nika Roza from Zola Jesus and Freddy Rupert, the sole member of electronic outfit This Song Is A Mess But So Am I. The new band has an album due out October 20 titled Fleurs and will be touring extensively in October in support.
Former Ghosts will play Trunk Space on Friday, October 2. That particular date just so happens to be the first show on the tour -- though bands like Metallica like to open in Phoenix, it's rather rare for non-local artists at the small club level to do such a thing. All in all, it's going to be a pretty remarkable/dark and ominus show based on tracks available from the band and taking into account the impressive resumé of Stewart, Roza and Rupert.

The Truth's Report Card: Miami vs. Ohio State
The following article was contributed by the beloved EOTH blogger, "The Truth"
After a tough loss no one wants to hear about why things happened or how things went down. Nope. People just want to know whose fault it was and how quickly that guy can be replaced.
After a loss the QB sucks, the coach is a moron and fans can be heard jumping off the bandwagon from here to California. There is something that most casual fans do not understand…
Football is a process. A process that starts the day you look behind a facemask for the first time until the day you hang up your cleats. Each practice and every game presents its own set of challenges and with each of those challenges comes another opportunity to get better as a player and coach.
On Saturday the Miami Hurricanes played their biggest game in the last seven years against the Ohio State Buckeyes (I would have written suckeyes or, better, buttguys but I do not want to sound like a sore loser). While the outcome was not exactly what we all hoped it would be, it did give us the opportunity to see how far this team has come since 2007 when Randy Shannon took over as head coach. No matter how they graded out Saturday, this is an opportunity to improve as players individually and as a team…coaches AND fans included.
I saw a team that IS better. That has gotten bigger, faster, stronger and most importantly, more mature (well, aside from a tweet sent before game time…but that's a blog for another day). I saw a team that, minus the turnovers, was ready to go toe to toe with ANY team in the country.
I intend to grade out the team honestly and with as much respect to the players and their efforts as possible. However, I want to make it clear that I am not taking this as an opportunity to bash any player. This is an honest critique from my perspective and hopefully will give better insight into how the outcome of this particular battle came to be. I do not think anyone should be fired, benched or burned on a cross as a result of the Ohio State game. I hope this game provides the players and coaches with the information they need to become better football players from here throughout the rest of the season.
All of these kids battled, did the very best they could and worked hard to win this football game. But the challenges put forth by a top 2 team, on their own home turf, by a Heisman hopeful quarterback and stout defense proved to be too much.
Part 1 of this report card will cover Offense and Defense.
With that said…
Jacory Harris was, in a word, awful. His decision making as a junior QB was atrocious on 3 of his 4 INT's. The opportunities were there and Harris did not deliver. Travis Benjamin did bobble a sideline pass that resulted in the 3rd of Harris' 4 picks, but the decisions Harris made on the other 3 INT's put his team in an impossible position for a positive outcome. His throw to Damien Berry on the Ohio Taint 6 yard line that was intercepted by Cameron Heyward was only half as bad as the decision to throw to Benjamin in Miami territory when TB3 wasn't even looking at him.
Harris also seemed to lack confidence in what he was seeing from the OSU defense. His balls floated as he overthrew and under threw receivers on several occasions. A junior quarterback, starting his second full season under the same offensive coordinator at the University of Miami should be expected to play much better than Jacory did. The blame isn't all on Jacory's shoulders, however.
The WR's for Miami dropped, according to Randy Shannon, 9 balls in another dismal effort by what is supposed to be the deepest, most prolific group if receivers in the country. TE Chase Ford caught a touchdown pass, but Aldarius "Glue Hands" Johnson dropped a sure TD after a decent hit on what was Miami's best drive of the day.
Even when Jacory was throwing the ball well, bad things were happening. Whipple and the players failed to adapt to the different defensive looks the Buckeyes were giving them and instead of reacting, the players were over-thinking their every move on the field.
The running backs and offensive line did an adequate job, minus some untimely and annoying penalties by Harland Gunn and Jermaine Johnson and a physically dismal effort by Tyler Horn who was manhandled too many times for my taste. Damien Berry ran hard and well in the 16 carries he was provided. Overall, though, this Jacory Harris led offense produced a grand total of 10 points. And in a game where everyone needed put forth an "A" effort they failed miserably.
It's going to be hard for me to grade this unit because so much of my heart believes these guys did the best they possibly could given the circumstances that Jacory and the rest of the offense kept putting them into. But if we are going to grade them on what actually happened then this is what needs to be said…
When I think of a Miami defensive football team I am reminded of Dan Morgan, Warren Sapp, Ed Reed, Jerome Brown and Ray Lewis. Guys that tackled, made plays and dictated to the offense what was, and what was NOT going to happen. I saw a valiant effort to contain a good, if not great player, in Terrelle Pryor. But when the Hurricanes needed a big defensive stop this team didn't deliver. Aside from some nice plays by Sean Spence, Marcus Forston and Brandon Harris this defensive team failed to shut down an offense that was begging to be stopped.
Bottom line: tons of missed tackles and ZERO turnovers.
There were a bunch of tackles for losses but the defenses inability to convert a big time, game changing play – dropped INT's by Ray Ray Armstrong and Demarcus Van Dyke – ultimately gave OSU new downs and opportunities to score 36 total points.
Randy Shannon estimated that the Buckeyes picked up 70 yards after the initial contact. That along with no INT's or forced fumbles equals NOT GOOD ENOUGH despite having 6 of OSU's scoring drives start in Miami territory.
Stay tuned for part 2 of The Truth's report card: Special Teams and Coaching.
