CBSSports.com Hobey Baker Award Watch: Week 14
Every week this season, Eye on Hockey will be tracking the best players in college hockey as they compete for the ultimate individual prize, the Hobey Baker Memorial Award.
The Hobey Baker Watch is a collaboration between Eye on Hockey blogger Chris Peters and CBS Sports Network Hockey Analyst Dave Starman.
With the Hobey field crowding up at this later stage of the season, we decided to change things up a bit with who we highlight. The top two will remain the front-runners for the award, while we spend more time in the bottom two areas highlighting legitimate candidates who maybe don't get the pub they deserve.
This week, Johnny Gaudreau stayed in the top spot with Hockey East rival Kevin Goumas coming in second. You might be curious as to why Minnesota, the nation's top team, doesn't have anyone in the top four right now. Blame that on the Gophers' tremendous depth. There's no true standout on a team that by the week looks tougher and tougher, though Erik Haula did make our Others to Watch list this week.
In the bottom two spots this week, we take a look at a pair of the masked men really making an impact in college hockey. Eric Hartzell of Quinnipiac and Carsen Chubak of Niagara play for a pair of teams that don't often resonate with the national sports fan, but the pair has been outstanding and putting up incredible numbers.
Among the others to watch, the North Dakota duo of Corban Knight and Danny Kristo continues to impress, while Ryan Walters and Drew LeBlanc are in a hot race for the national scoring lead. All five players in the "Others to Watch" section come from the WCHA, which has been an awfully tough league to predict this year.
1. Johnny Gaudreau -- Boston College | |||||||||||||||
Others to Watch:
Corban Knight: F, Sr. -- North Dakota
Ryan Walters: F, Jr. -- Nebraska Omaha
Danny Kristo: F, Sr. -- North Dakota
Drew LeBlanc: F, Sr. -- St. Cloud State
Erik Haula: F, Jr. -- Minnesota

Northlander Jake Heenan (pictured) has been named in the New Zealand under-20 rugby squad to contest the junior world championship in South Africa in June.
The former Whangarei Boys' High School First XV captain will be pushing for a start in his preferred positions of blindside, lock or No8.
Coach Rob Penney named a 28-strong squad after a group of 46 attended the selection camp, culminating in a trial game.
He said selecting a team was difficult as a lot of boys putting in big performances during the trial game.
The team head to the competition as the defending champions and favourites to defend its title.
Auckland's Gnafatasi Sua was unavailable for selection due to injury, while TJ Perenara (Wellington, Hurricanes) and Sam Cane (Bay of Plenty, Chiefs) had Super 15 commitments.
The squad leaves for South Africa on May 30, and opens their tournament against Samoa on June 4 at Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch.
New Zealand under-20 squad: Pita Ahki, Fraser Armstrong, Hugh Blake, Ambrose Curtis, Scott Eade, Jason Emery, Bryn Hall, Marnus Hanley, Nathan Harris, Jake Heenan, Milford Keresoma, Jonathon Kitto, Joe Latta, Christian Lloyd, Taniela Manu, Rhys Marshall, Martin McKenzie, Ope Peleseuma, Glenn Preston, Matt Proctor, Tuki Raimona, Nick Ross, Eric Sione, Junior Tafa Va'a, Jordan Taufua, Jimmy Tupou, Ofa Tuungafasi, Ihaia West.

Remember when Obama the Candidate promised that he'd be different than President Bush when it comes to lobbyists?
No lobbyists in his administration. No sir.
Well, what better day than April 1 to point out that President Obama has hired what is estimated to be his 100th lobbyist.
Politico reports: "Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has appointed a former BAE lobbyist to the Defense Department's Senior Executive Service."
Iram A. Ali "has been assigned as special assistant to the secretary of defense for White House Liaison."
If only this were an April Fool's joke.

Graduate students show art in UNT showcase
Seven University of North Texas graduate students will show their work in an upcoming group show.
The students are the artists who make up the 2014 UNT College of Visual Art and Design MFA Showcase.
The exhibition will open June 12 at the UNT Art Gallery, on the first floor of the UNT Art Building, 1201 W. Mulberry St. The exhibit closes there on Aug. 23. The exhibition also runs from June 12 to Sept. 13 at UNT ArtSpace Dallas, in the University Center Building at 1901 Main St. in Dallas. Works by each artist will be displayed at the Denton and Dallas galleries.
A opening reception will take place from noon to 2 p.m. June 14 at UNT ArtSpace Dallas, in conjunction with East Dallas Gallery Day.
The MFA Showcase provides a way to see works by emerging artists before they will go on to work or be featured in creative organizations and institutions throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth region and the nation, said Tracee Robertson, director of UNT Galleries.
"We have the privilege of exhibiting their works at the start of their professional commitments to the arts, which we've found to be a pivotal time in their processes of forming and articulating ideas and concepts," Robertson said in a news release.
One of those artists, Ellie Ivanova, will feature two projects that play with photography. In A Guide to Stitching, photographic images are printed on fabric and framed in hoops, with stitches and embroidery added to them. For The Skin of Memory, she used an experimental acid-based process called mordancage, which causes the emulsion of a traditional black-and-white photographic print to lift from the paper and form veils and bubbles — destroying the original image but creating a new, unpredictable image in which the shadows become the brightest part.
"Any artist can work independently, but the intellectual community that is the studio art program at UNT is a great creative environment for experimentation," Ivanova said in the news release. "And since all art is a collaboration in a sense, it has been interesting to see how the work of my peers has influenced mine."
The featured artists are:
* Ellie Ivanova, photography;
* Tabatha Trolli Diloreto, ceramics;
* Kai Peter Martin, painting and drawing;
* Luke Ball, printmaking;
* Longhui Zhang, painting and drawing;
* Abigail Sherrill, fibers; and
* Lynné Bowman, photography.
Gallery hours at UNT ArtSpace Dallas are 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Free parking is available at the Elm Street Garage or in metered spaces along Main Street.
Summer hours at the UNT Art Gallery are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Arts group seeks entries for members show
The Denton-based Visual Arts Society of Texas has announced a call for entries for the group's members exhibition, which opens July 1.
Member artists can submit up to two works of art on June 19. From 10 a.m. to noon and 4 to 7 p.m., works can be brought to the East and West galleries inside the Texas Woman's University art building at Pioneer Circle and Oakland Street.
Eligible media include both two- and three-dimensional art in painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, textile, graphic, sculpture, jewelry, metalworking and woodworking.
A total of at least $2,500 in cash and merchandise will be awarded, including a $500 Best of Show award. Catalogs will be published and will include photographs of all art represented in the exhibition.
The entry fee is $20 for society members. Membership dues are $35 for an individual, $45 for a family membership, $25 for educators and $15 for students.
The exhibition juror is Marilyn Ivy, an artist and educator who earned her master's degree in painting at Texas Woman's University and a bachelor's in painting at Texas Christian University. She has worked in the Fort Worth area for many years, first as an art teacher at L.D. Bell High School in Hurst, later as a lecturer of drawing and art education coordinator at TCU from 2003 to 2006. Since 2007, she has held the position of studio and family programs coordinator at the Kimball Art Museum.

UNT graduate earns prestigious art award
A very recent graduate of the University of North Texas has won a Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate Arts Award, worth up to $150,000.
Jonathan A. Molina-Garcia earned a Bachelor of Arts in photography and art history in the College of Visual Arts and Design. He was one of just 20 college seniors to earn a graduate arts award this year. The award is considered the most prestigious award for students pursuing postgraduate work in the arts.
Molina-Garcia submitted work to the award committee that began as an assignment in professor Pavel Romaniko's class to take portraits on a view camera. He took a photograph of his brother Elmer, a roofer, as he worked.
Molina-Garcia saw the potential in the idea and began a documentary project following his parents, who work as house painters in Odessa. His father is from Mexico and his mother is from El Salvador, so the project allowed him to look at the notions of identity in the United States. He used a 15-pound, large-format camera instead of a quicker digital camera.
"I wanted something that really forced me to be meditative about the work that I was doing," Molina-Garcia said in a news release.
The graduate considers Romaniko, photography professor Dornith Doherty and art education and art history chairwoman Denise Baxter his mentors.
James Duban, director of the Office for Nationally Competitive Scholarships, said Molina-Garcia's talents have been proven by his other awards — the Arts and Humanities Outstanding Paper Award at the 2013 University Scholar's Day and the College of Visual Arts and Design Creative Project Grant for his artistic endeavors focusing on community and identity.
"Jonathan is a brilliant photographer who possesses immense potential, both for graduate school, and beyond," Duban said in the news release.
Molina-Garcia plans to attend California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, Calif. He hopes to eventually teach on the college level while continuing his photographic endeavors.
This marks the second year in a row that a UNT student has won the graduate award presented by the Virginia-based Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.

Those familiar with Mogwai's oeuvre will know that the Glasgow band have become masters of the creeping crescendo, their largely instrumental music inching incrementally from delicate quietude to thunderous blasts of rib-rattling guitar noise. But in recent years they have broadened their sonic palette, so that this show, the first of two nights in London, featured tracks such as "Deesh" and "Remurdered" (both from their new Rave Tapes album), which were typically blistering but also featured vintage-sounding synths and electronic beats. Likewise, "How to Be a Werewolf" (with its glittering Frippery from guitarist Stuart Braithwaite) showed off their relatively new-found enthusiasm for rhythms that run somewhat faster than the resting pace of a human heart. Even more radically, "Mexican Grand Prix" illustrated how they have launched latterly into wholly new territory, creating music that eschews their tried and tested quiet-loud-quiet template and maintains roughly the same volume level all the way through.
There were, however, enough examples here of the old-school Mogwai – the kind of music that once saw them garlanded with the label "post rock" – to keep traditionalists happy: songs such as the epic "Christmas Steps", whose chords seemed to threaten the structural integrity of the Royal Festival Hall. So far, so good.
I don't want to sound like David Churl, but I must mention a couple of quibbles. First, the lighting was way, way too intrusive: throughout the show, it razzled and dazzled and flashed and flickered and strobed with increasing hyperactivity. It was as if the operators were hoping to compensate for the fact that we were simply watching five (sometimes six, with guest violinist/guitarist Luke Sutherland popping on and off) unassuming blokes in trendy casual garb standing or sitting in a democratic arrangement on a stage and playing their music studiously. In fact, this has its own inherent fascination, and it deserved something bolder and steadier.
Second, although the closing song "Batcat" reached a moment of crushing, brutal, exhilarating singularity, such moments were too rare; I expected a bit more shredding and thrashing and eye-bulging from the band who gave us albums with titles such as Come On Die Young. But then perhaps Mogwai are simply doing that unthinkable thing: not dying young, but getting a bit older, a bit more considered, levelling off those peaks and troughs.

Supported by throngs of devoted fans dutifully singing along (not your garden variety group — these loyalists know all the words before a new album even hits the market), Linkin Park has been on tour since early 2003 in support of its hugely successful Meteora album. And this fusion rock/hip-hop band doesn't let all the hoopla swell its collective ego, either. Linkin Park tries to "keep it real" by charging low prices for tickets, starting out last year with several smaller club shows ...

Emergency officials said a siren at Lake Township's fire station on Ayers Road was fixed Thursday afternoon after it failed to sound during a countywide testing.
Lake Township fire Chief Todd Walters said authorities called in a technician Thursday afternoon. The siren was not working because of an electrical problem.
It was not known whether any other sirens failed to work during the testing that lasted about three minutes and started at noon Thursday.
The Lake Township site where the siren didn't work is closest location to an area of Millbury that was among the hardest hit in the township.
Chief Walters said the siren at the station on Ayers Road was tested a week ago and was working when the tornado hit on Saturday night.
Other sirens that were activated in Lake Township were at the Municipal Building in Millbury, Walbridge behind the police department, and East Broadway in Moline.
At a press conference Thursday morning, the township's police and fire chiefs encouraged people to also prepare for future storms by having a battery-operated radio, as well as food and water, on hand at all times.
Ohio Department of Transportation Director Jolene Molitoris also was in Wood County Thursday afternoon where she was speaking with officials and touring storm-ravaged areas.
At the end of Thursday, the volunteer reception centers that were opened by United Way in response to the weekend's storms will be closed.
"The community's response has been absolutely tremendous," Bill Kitson, United Way of Greater Toledo president and CEO, said in a statement. "In the past three days, we have deployed more than 1,600 volunteers to help with clean-up efforts. I'm truly at a loss for words."
The process, however, has reached a point where most of the volunteer work has become very targeted and specialized so the reception centers, which provided assignments for general volunteers, are closing. The centers were at Grace United Methodist Church at 601 East Boundary St. in Perrysburg and at the Mainstreet Church at 705 North Main St. in Walbridge.
United Way officials said that if people still wish to volunteer and think their specialized skills can be used in restoration efforts, they should call 2-1-1 and give their personal information for future reference.

It's too late now for 2014, the secrets out. The asking price is too high.
Look i'm all for getting a superstar, i argued that heavily, because a superstar will very rarely get traded in their prime, and you need them to win a championship to win you those 4th quarters.
the perinneal loosers will ask for the moon for their draft picks, and if we send out all our assests for a chance at a top 3 picks. Even if we get Wiggins, Julius Randle or Aaron Gordon, How are gonna surround them then ? we'll have no draft picks, no trade assets, we'll be a loosing team, who still can't attract free agents, and in 5 years, said superstar will walk if he didn't ask for a trade before Hand.
Stoudamire/Vince Carter/Mcgrady/Camby in their prime, sounds like a SICK line up, but we never surrounded those guys fast enough for one to wait for the other to come.
Lets collect 2015 and 2016 draft picks at a low price. And see who comes out as a potential next(.......) or who goes back to school, Jabari parker claims education is very important to him and wants to enjoy Duke, Like wiggins they dont seem to me like guys who get caught up in the glamour, that would put Parker in the 2016 draft maybe. Maybe someone projected out of the top 5 thinks he can be number #1 the year after.
Don't get caught up in the hype, we still have to approach this in smart, cautious way.
If we tank I really hope someone here invents a time machine so we can all skip the next 12 months. I fear for my television with another year of watching the Raptors lose. I seem to find myself throwing the remote control around a lot when my nights are wasted seeing this team blow 4th quarter leads.
i'm coming around on the tanking argument. as much as I'd like to see the raptors in 2014 playoffs (and getting knocked out in the first round), in the long run it just seems like tanking has the better chance of improving the team overall, even if takes several more years of just horrible basketball. ugh.
Several more years? This whole tanking concept has just about been beaten to death, but how would you feel if the following scenario took place:
- Masai blows up the whole team except JV. To get a high chance at a high lottery pick, virtually every decent asset currently on the team would have to be moved for scraps. If "good prospects" are returned, as many speak of, then if they really are good prospects, they may very perform as well, or close to the young players we gave away, shoving the "tank" down the drain.
- So let's say the team is bad enough to have the 3rd worst record in the league, just like 2010-11. We not only lose the lottery, but drop to the 5th pick, which many tank proponents say is good enough for next year.
- So now we're picking the 5th best prospect, who just doesn't pan out (happens often) or worse, blows his knee out, a la Oden.
- We're left with JV, scraps, and a disabled draft pick and looking at more than "several" more bad years.
If you remember correctly, it was Cleveland picking Thomspon that landed us JV. Otherwise we would've had Biyombo, or I think the other option was a trade down for Knight? (could be wrong on whether it was for Knight as a target, but I remember a somewhat recent story on that trading down option)
Then we wouldn't need to have the "tank" debate, because we'd be worse, and maybe with no good prospects.
The Raptors are going for a miracle run. There is absolutely no point in tanking, way too many teams are doing it. Raptors should just trying to get the highest seed they possibly can in the playoffs and go for a franchise altering playoff run, enough with the taking BS. Leaving our fate in the hands of luck is a terrible idea.
Who says Gay or JV can't become elite? Even so look at Golden State. They don't have any Elite players (i don't consider Steph Curry elite i'm sorry).
Right now there is just too much uncertainty with this team. The roster is completely different from how we started off last season and the "main guy" has also changed from Lowry/DeRozan to Rudy Gay. We still don't know how Lowry will play, How much DeRozan has improved, How much Gay as improved, How much amir has improved, how much JV has improved, etc...
On top of that, the front office has been shaken up big time and so has the coaching staff. Who's to say the Raptors have a Franchise year and have 1 maybe even 2 or 3 all stars?
My point is that, it is too early to tell how good or bad this team will be. IMO it is not a good idea to blow it up for the billionth time, we should just ride with it.

In the last decades, Cuban socialism continued to live only because it didnt yet notice it was already dead. I am critical of Cuba not because I am anti-Communist but because I remain a Communist. I'm not quite sure why, but I thought this transaction remarkable. It was not only the gallantry of these impoverished men that was impressive, but that the woman seemed to regard it as her due and not at all extraordinary. Needless to say, she offered no tip, nor did they seem to expect any, her comparative wealth notwithstanding. At this, the most elementary level, our future will be decided. The reality that global capitalism cannot generate is precisely such heartening species of human solidarity, to use Miller's phrase. So to conclude in the spirit of de mortuis nihil nisi bonum (nothing that is not good should be said about the dead), this scene on Malecon is perhaps the nicest thing I can remember about Castro. |

Castro had previously survived many U.S. efforts to overthrow his government and physically eliminate him including the sponsorship of invasions, numerous assassination attempts and terrorist attacks. He held supreme political power in Cuba for more than 47 years, and even after having left high office he continued to be politically engaged for several years meeting with numerous foreign personalities and writing his Reflexiones in the Cuban Communist Party press. In light of a likely future state capitalist transition and the role that foreign capital and political powers such as the United States, Brazil, Spain, Canada, Russia and China may play in it, the prospects for Cuban national sovereigntyperhaps the one unambiguously positive element of Fidel Castros legacyare highly uncertain.

Riding high on the success of the hatchback, there are strong rumors that Honda is set to launch the Brio MPV next year. If the early renderings are anything to go by, then the Brio MPV is seen as a close competitor to the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. Seeing the initial designs, the Brio MPV greatly resembles the Brio from the front. The Honda Amaze, launched few months back also sports a similar design. Honda mentioned that Brio MPV is being designed for markets like Indonesia, India and Thailand. The Indonesian subsidiary of the Japanese car-maker, PT Honda Prospect Motor, is developing the Brio MPV. Speculations in the media are raging that the MPV will hit the market in the first quarter of 2014.
For the Honda's new MPV, competition will come from several car models like Daihatsu Xenia, Toyota Avanza as well as Sukuki's Ertiga, in the Indonesian automobile market. The MPV will also have an Indian launch. In India, it will give a tough competition to the newly launched Nissan Evalia as well as Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
The Brio MPV is designed with a seating capacity of seven people. It will be sharing its engine with the Amaze sedan. Thus, this MPV will be powered by the 1.5 liter Earth Dreams diesel engine. This engine has demonstrated excellent fuel efficiency and extreme power in its previous models. It is soon to find a new host in the form of Brio MPV.
Images of the MPV's renderings have been circulating online. Seeing the initial renditions, it can be clearly said that the designers have lent a family car look to the MPV's front end while the rear end flaunts a CRV- inspired look. The artist has not experimented with the front end. It continues to look like its predecessor hatchback.
However, one cannot miss the CRV styled rear end with a wide tailgate and typical CRV tail lamps. Not just the Brio hatchback, but the soon-to-be-launched MPV also flaunts identical tail lights well as the nose from the Amaze Sedan. The door handles as well as the doors remind one of the Amaze and Brio. Though being a very non-fussy design, these have been much popular among the Indian users.
Industry watchers are curious to know if this MPV will adapt any more styles or design as seen in the Honda CRV. Also, to what extent will the Brio MPV compete with Ertiga is a highly anticipated question.

Joel's Reinforcement Library
How would you deal with
the following situations?
Your 2-year-old is having a temper tantrum because he wants a new toy. Would you;
- Leave him alone until he calmed down
- Give into his demands
- Give him a tranquilizer
Your 7-year-old is anxious about next weeks' Little League tryouts. Would you;
- Assure him that he can do it
- Practice with him and tell him to try his best
- Give him a valium every three hours until the game
Your 14-year-old is crushed when she is not asked to the sophomore dance. Would you;
- Fix her up with one of your friend's children
- Tell her to go anyway
- Give her cocaine to pick up her spirits
Your 15-year-old is self-conscious about being 5 pounds overweight. Would you;
- Cook lower calorie meals
- Enroll her in a diet or exercise program
- Put her on appetite suppressants
All of these young people are experiencing what adults would consider "growing pains." A little time, patience and positive reassuring will help them overcome all of these difficult situations.
The fact is, as long as anyone continues to develop physically, emotionally, intellectually, professionally or spiritually, they too will experience growing pains. Adults are prone to hurt, pain, sadness, depression and anxiety just as children are. These feelings are all necessary if we wish to continue to develop our minds and bodies. Without such growth, we would not experience happiness, satisfaction, contentment or purpose to their full extent.
The third choice in each of the above situations was, of course, ridiculous. We would not subject our children to chemical hazards to overcome such trivial problems. However, as adults we are fully capable of practicing such dangerous behaviors for our own relief. Take cigarette smoking as an example.
When you were still a smoker, how many times would you say you had to smoke because you were lonely and sad without your friendly cigarettes? How many times did you say that you had to smoke because of all the stress in your life? How many times did you tell yourself that many social activities were just not fun without your cigarettes? How many times did you say that you would gain too much weight if you quit smoking? All you were saying was that you needed nicotine, a drug, to overcome everyday life problems.
It was not until you were off cigarettes that you realized you could overcome such problems without smoking, and in most cases more effectively than when you were a smoker. Once you had quit you realized just how much a source of stress the habit was to you. You were caught by a socially unacceptable and physically deadly addiction and were quite often aware of it. This is when you had the desire to give them up, but thought the pain of quitting too great to even attempt it.
Even today, you probably still desire an occasional cigarette. It may be in a stressful situation, at a party after a few drinks, or at a time when you find yourself alone with nothing better to do. The fact is, there is nothing worse you can do than take a cigarette. One cigarette will not help you over the problem. In reality, it will create a new problem, a disastrous situation of a reinforced addiction, with all the physical dangers and associated dirty habits.
So, next time you have the desire for a cigarette, sit back and take a few moments to reflect upon what you are setting yourself up for. Do you need that drug? Do you want that addiction? If not, simply remember - NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!

Beth Balaban, '11
Q. Why did you choose Emerson?
I knew that I wanted to be on the East Coast. I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do within the film world. Emerson seemed to offer me the ability to explore a range of topics and formats within a single program and to collaborate with students in all of these other disciplines.
Q. What do you love about your field/major?
I love that documentary can change the way you perceive the world. You see a vision of someone else's life on the screen, and when you walk back out into the light of day you might just see people around you in a different manner. Or the people seeing you might be looking at someone new. I think it's that powerful.
Q. What do you like about Emerson?
There's a "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" sort of feel to Emerson. You aren't coddled here. There is no golden path. You have to raze one for yourself, and when you do, you'll be all the better for it.
Q. How does the Emerson community help you thrive as a student?
It isn't necessarily competitive in the MFA program. I mean, there's competition, for sure. Everyone is talented. But the members of the community aren't out to trample one another. We're all here to help each other grow.
Q. Describe a typical day or week.
There is no typical day as a filmmaker or as a graduate student at Emerson. On a good day, I sleep very little, I edit an enormous amount, I meet with a professor or fellow filmmaker to discuss work, and I still have time for a screening at the HFA at night. On a bad day, I might waste hours traveling down a creative path that leads to nothing. But it's always challenging and exciting and therefore rewarding.
Q. How have Emerson faculty helped you?
It's funny - the faculty at Emerson has helped me in ways that I really didn't expect they would. It isn't always as directly related to my work as one would assume it would be. A lot of my instructors have mentored me in my outer and inner life, and that has spilled over into my work. I'm guessing that was the idea all along. I just didn't know that was how it would happen.
Q. How have you changed personally between your first day at Emerson and now?
Besides growing in technical and practical knowledge, I am, I would say, a more focused person than the first day I started at Emerson. I know what I want to do, what I need to do, and what kind of work will allow me to look back some day and be satisfied with a life well spent.
Q. What do you hope to do with your Emerson degree?
Well, it'll probably be sitting in the back of a closet collecting dust. I, however, will hopefully be traveling to the far ends of the earth to collect dying moments and preserve remnants of our existence.
Q. What advice would you give to an incoming Emerson student?
My advice is not to follow anyone's advice but your own. There are a lot of voices out there. Try to retain the one in your own head.

Advertisement Setting The Flobots aside for a moment, both The Raconteurs and Electric Six make their Rock Band debut next week, with the former delivering "Dance Epidemic," "I Don't Like You," and the every enjoyable "Gay Bar," and the latter mixing things up with "Many Shades of Black," "Salute Your Solution," and "Steady, As She Goes."The personal irony of Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" and "Head Over Feet" being added next week is something I am not prepared to explain. Suffice it to say that it is indeed ironic, and not in the Alanis way. Advertisement And then we have The Flobots. "Handlebars" has been playing over and over again in my head for the past 2 hours now. I figure this will last for another year.

Northwood holds off Sea Kings
A lot can happen in 2.8 seconds.
In that time frame, Corona del Mar was able to inbounds the ball from its own baseline to the frontcourt, put up a 3-point shot that missed, get the rebound, and put up a short shot that also missed.
Northwood was able to escape the Sea Kings' gym Tuesday with a 55-53 victory in a Pacific Coast League game.
The Timberwolves are the only league team without a league loss. They are 3-0 and in first place, one game ahead of Corona del Mar and Woodbridge, which are 2-1.
Northwood (14-5 overall) had a 53-43 lead with 3:46 remaining. Corona del Mar senior guard Max Stone made a 3-pointer and Blake Grable made one and scored on a spin-move in the lane and, with five seconds left, Grable scored off of an offensive rebound and the Timberwolves lead was 55-53. With fouls to give, Corona del Mar (12-8) quickly fouled Northwood players after every inbounds pass until its seventh team foul sent Northwood's Zach Pierce to the line with three seconds to go.
Pierce missed the free throw, Corona del Mar's Drew Olson got the rebound, and the Sea Kings called time out with 2.8 seconds on the clock.
Corona del Mar's Tyler Duncan gunned the inbounds pass from the Sea Kings baseline to the frontcourt, the ball got to Bo St. Geme, who missed the 3-point try, and Grable got the rebound but his shot bounced around and trickled off of the hoop.
Northwood veteran coach Tim O'Brien thought it could turn out to be another negative night for one of his teams at Corona del Mar, where he has coached some frustrating games with the Timberwolves and back when he coached at Estancia and then Tustin.
"This is a place where I go, 'Good gosh, what's going to happen next?' " O'Brien said.
Enough good things happened for Northwood to win.
Senior guard Kevin Norman, the school's starting quarterback this past fall, scored on several breakaway layups, including three times in the third quarter and one in the fourth, to score 16 points.
"When he starts running like that, that's when we win," said Pierce, a 6-foot-4 junior who scored 16 points with six rebounds for Northwood.
Senior guard Stone scored 21 points with four 3-pointers for Corona del Mar. Grable scored 16.
Northwood, ranked No. 5 in CIF-Southern Section Division 3A, plays a league game at Beckman on Friday. Corona del Mar, No. 5 in 3AA, plays at University in a league game Friday.
In the Empire League:
No. 6 Tustin 60, Western 39: Nick Hornsby scored 20 points and Deondre Bryant added 16 for the host Tillers (18-2, 5-0).
In the Trinity League:
St. John Bosco of Bellflower 64, Santa Margarita 58: The visiting Eagles (12-8, 0-5) got 14 points apiece from Joe Furstinger and Tyler Strauss in their loss to the Braves (12-3, 4-1), who are No. 11 in the state rankings.

This was an all around quiet week at home once Halloween
passed. I did attend my friends funeral
on Saturday which was really difficult but that was ok too. We have a memorial garden here at the church
I work at and he was buried there and that was nice. I told his sister I can now go bug him whenever I want. :) Here's my favorite picture of the garden –
its very serene.
So on to what I read:
I started off the week with Never Seduce a Scot by MayaBanks. As you'll see if you read my full
review I saw this on Nath's blog and just HAD to read it. It was really good and I'm so glad I
did. Warring clans, a deaf mute heroine,
hot highlanders – what's not to love?
You can read my full review here.
4.25 out of 5
Next up was My Regelence Rake by JL Langley. This is the newest in the Sci-Regency series
and while I didn't find it quite as good as books 1 & 2 I still really
liked it. This is Colton's story and has him pining after the
Captain of the Guard at the palace, Sebastian.
Sebastian is also a Lord in his own right and though Colton has made no secret of the fact that he
wants Sebastian, Seb has pretty much brushed him off. When Colton
finally decides to move on as he feels he'll never get the man, Seb finally
notices him. Now this was a good story
but there were a few things that bothered me.
The main one was the fact that Colton
and Seb had to get married to avoid scandal.
While this always adds a bit of angst, this is the 3rd book
in this series that's had that happen.
Really? Three boys married from
the Royal family and all of them had to get married to avoid scandal? I'd like to see just a plain ole romance with
some other angst involved. Not that this
one didn't have "other" angst. We also
got a bit of Raleigh/Steven page time and I enjoyed that immensely. 3.75 out of 5
Some Like it Wicked by Carole Mortimer was my next
read. This is the story of a Pandora who
is a widow and is being cut by the ton after she gets out of mourning because
her husband supposedly died in a duel with her lover. She is saved from being attacked at a ball by
a man the ton calls Devil and has a horrid reputation himself but yet never
gets cut. He saves Pandora and then won't
go away and eventually ends up asking Pandora to marry him for his own
reasons. This was a cute book and was
pretty entertaining. You can read my
full review here. 3 out of 5
Next was a re-read called Kiss and Kin by Kinsey W.Holley. I wanted to read book 2 in the
series but couldn't really remember book 1 so I dragged it out again. I remembered what happened almost immediately
after I started reading but re-read the whole thing anyway. The story is about a wolf shifter, Taran, who
is in love with his brother's cousin by marriage, Lark, but she's a woman who
was basically raised by his parents so it's a bit weird for him, and her. Lark's in love with Taran but has no idea
that she's his mate. He's a cop and
investigating the disappearance of some women in town and when Lark is almost
abducted he has to protect her and one thing leads to another, etc. I gave this book a 3.75 after the first read
and a 3.5 after the second. The ending
wasn't quite as satisfying this time around.
Yes, the "bad" guy was caught but he wasn't the only bad guy out there
so the fact that everything seemed A-ok was a bit annoying. 3.5 out of 5
Next in the series was Yours, Mine and Howls by Kinsey W.Holley. This story is pretty unrelated
to the people in book 1. The characters
are vaguely connected but it can definitely be read on its own. The story is about a 30 year old woman who is
bringing the son she raised from the age of 5 to his uncle's house to meet him
for the first time. Ally and Cade, the
Uncle, don't get along but yet their mates.
Ally actually died and was brought back to life by a deity of
sorts. The story is about Ally and Cade's
romance as well as several other things.
While a good book I thought there was way too much packed in to just one
story. Too many bad guys for sure, and
when they started getting into the history of Cade's family it was nuts. Good, but a lot to take in. 3.5 out of 5
My Tracy's
TBR Challenge read and last for the week was The Rebuilding Year by KajeHarper. This is the story of 2 basically straight men, John and Ryan who become
friends, then roommates, then lovers.
The story centers around their romance and the way they deal with their
feelings toward someone of the same sex, as well as issues that come up with John's
ex-wife, her husband and his kids. There's
also something funky going on at the college that Ryan attends and John works
at that causes angst as well. I really
liked the story a lot. I thought that the
issue of the problems on campus pulled me away from the romance a bit too much
but it all tied in nicely in the end. I
really liked how Harper set this up so that Ryan was 30 but just starting med
school and John 37 and starting over without his former family. It added a depth that wouldn't necessarily
have been there had the men been younger and not "lived" yet. I liked the writing and will be reading more
from Harper in the future. 4 out of 5
My Book Binge reviews that posted since last week:
Happy Reading!

text: Legionnaires' disease found at state building By Lori Kersey July 11, 2013 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The state Division of Infectious Disease Epidemiology is investigating a case of Legionnaires' disease.Dr. Rahul Gupta, executive director of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department, said his office was notified Wednesday of the illness, which was reported to have affected an employee at a state Department of Education.Because it was a state office, the county health department referred the investigation to the state Bureau for Public Health, Gupta said."We have received word that they are doing the appropriate investigation and education," Gupta said. Legionnaire's disease is caused by the Legionella bacteria and is found in sources of water, Gupta said. With one case, it's nearly impossible to trace the source of the bacteria, he said."When you have a cohort they can track it back to a common point," Gupta said. "But one case it's so difficult. Think about how much water exposure you have, there are so many different sources."Those sources can include not only drinking and bathing water but the water vapor from an air conditioning unit, he said.Of those exposed to the bacteria, only 2 to 3 percent of people will contract the disease, Gupta said. Those who are already ill and those with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to the illness.Untreated, the disease can impact multiple systems in the body and lead to multi-organ failure, Gupta said.@tag:Reach Lori Kersey at email@example.com or 304-348-1240.

text: New Samsung Remote Trades Its Buttons for A Touch Pad and Voice ControlAndrew Tarantola2/06/12 11:50pmFiled to: AccessoriesTelevisionsRemoteSamsungSmart TV26EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink As TV's have packed on more and features, including multiple inputs and Internet connectivity, the complexity of the remote has grown to match. Now you're lucky to get a remote shorter than your forearm. This new remote from Samsung, however, will replace the bevy of buttons for a touchpad and Siri-like voice control. Advertisement The new remote will feature less than a dozen physical keys. The remaining functions—screen settings, Internet searches, etc—will be handled by the touchscreen located at the top of the device. Users will also be able to change the volume and channel by simply speaking into the remote's embedded mic. This should prove a boon for setting up and logging into streaming accounts—you'll be able to just state your user name and login rather than having to cycle through character rolls. What's more, the remote utilizes Bluetooth and infrared simultaneously to improve its communication with the set and reduce lag.The remote will reportedly be released later this year with an as-of-yet smart TV but will also be compatible with a range of set-top boxes and media players.

Unobserved components in an error-correction model of consumption for Southern European countries
In this paper we show how the potential misspecification of the consumption function can be ameliorated by approximating any unmodelled long run variation with an unobserved component in the form of a time-varying trend. This methodology is applied to Greek, Portuguese and Spanish consumption functions during the post-second World war period. The empirical evidence suggests that there are many determinants of long-run consumption in these countries, in addition to income and inflation, and these unobserved long-run effects are captured by a nonstationary stochastic component. The long-run elasticity of consumption with regards to the unobserved component is greater than unity in all countries.

FORT CARSON, Colo. - Roaring booms of powerful helicopter engines announced the arrival of the first 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters at Butts Army Airfield, Jan. 20.
In addition to the three Black Hawks, the unit's first three CH-47 Chinook helicopters arrived Jan. 22. The 4th CAB currently has six of each aircraft and are expecting to have more than 100 helicopters when fully operational.
Capt. Joshua Meyer, commander, Company A, 2nd Battalion (General Support), 4th Avn. Reg., 4th CAB, coordinated getting the helicopters to Fort Carson. He and his soldiers worked through the weekend to make sure there was a smooth transition when the helicopters arrived.
"It's a big deal for us because it marks the arrival of the CAB here at Fort Carson," said Meyer. "A lot of people from the company, battalion and brigade have been working hard for the last six months. It means a lot to the soldiers because they're going to be working on and flying [the helicopters]. They have been very busy working to meet the requirements so that these aircraft can arrive; establishing and validating our systems and procedures for maintenance and flight operations. We are looking forward to flying them and maintaining them at the company level."
With the new helicopters, the brigade can start working toward full activation and completing its mission to provide attack aviation, air assault, heavy lift and medical evacuation aviation operations in support of 4th Inf. Div. and other division-sized units, said Maj. Jason S. Davis, brigade executive officer and acting brigade commander, 4th CAB.
The 4th CAB consisted of only 50 soldiers when Davis arrived in June and now has more than 970 soldiers. He said the brigade is projected to be completely manned and activated, including subordinate units, in April 2014.
"We are ahead of schedule in a lot of areas, and areas that we face challenges in are going to be areas that any unit faces in the Army today, with funding and facilities," said Davis. "I am really pleased with the progress we've made.
"We've gotten a great number of people in … [who are] ready to work and they dive into whatever their task is," he said. "They start building the systems and processes that we need."
In addition to the arrival of new soldiers, aircraft and equipment, training for the brigade is vital to becoming mission ready.
Upcoming preparation includes basic soldier training, such as weapons qualification, soldier tasks and drills and other skills that troops need to be proficient at, said Maj. George A. Hodges, operations officer, 4th CAB, 4th ID.
To house the brigade's equipment and soldiers, new structures are being built at Butts Army Airfield. The Directorate of Public Works is working to get the CAB's building contracts approved and built. The biggest of the CAB's construction projects is a complete renovation of Butts Army Airfield.
The CAB is getting five hangars, a new brigade headquarters building, runway and apron, control tower and barracks, said Maj. Eli Adams, an Omaha District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project manager at Fort Carson. He said there are currently nine authorized projects out of 27 proposed construction projects. All projects are expected to be complete by 2020.
Adams said the structure that stands out most to him is the first hangar to be completed for the Aviation Support Battalion. Most of the projects are proposed to be net zero developments.
"The need is there to rebuild that airfield," said Adams. "The facilities that we provide will be top quality and will be a great contribution to Fort Carson. Our teams of engineers, who are working with the contractors, are highly professional. The CAB has a lot to look forward to with the facilities that they are going to get and when they see the work completed, it will be a transformed Butts Army Airfield."
4th CAB soldiers worked quickly to get their first helicopters into the hangar and are continuing to work on them to make sure all preventive maintenance, checks and services are done, so they can be ready to train and perform missions

Course outline
Unit of Study information on faculty page
Study plan
The Bachelor of Design in Architecture may be undertaken full-time over three years, or four years with honours.
In each semester of the degree you will complete core units and may choose one elective. Possible areas of study include the three streams (Allied Arts in Architecture, Urban Design and Planning, or Digital Architecture), and electives within the faculty. Opportunities also exist for you to take units of study in other faculties within the University.
Each semester revolves around a studio which explores aspects of the design process relating directly to the practice of the architectural profession. The studios are supplemented by core units of study in architectural history and theory, communications, technologies and art workshops. Methods of study in the course will include studio work, lectures, seminars, field trips, and workshops.
Further course information
Progression rules
It is a requirement of the Bachelor of Design in Architecture that you pass all core units for the degree. The faculty has created a series of thresholds through which students must pass in order to progress to the next stage.
Studio is central to the Bachelor of Design in Architecture and the teaching is structured in such a way that the knowledge and skills learned in one semester build on those learned in the previous semester. You are required to pass Studio 101 before you will be allowed to proceed to Studio 102 and Studio 201 before they proceed to Studio 202 and so on. A fail in any Studio unit will prevent progression to the next unit, causing a 12-month delay in studies.
Whilst architectural history and theory, communications, technologies and art processes units are core to the degree, they are taught in relatively self-contained ways that complement the work in studio. If you fail any of these units in first year you will be allowed to progress to second year, but you will still be required to re-enrol in the failed units and pass them in their own right.
You will not be permitted to enrol in Studio 301 unless you have passed all first and second year core units. You will not be allowed to proceed to Studio 302 until you pass Studio 301.
What is an elective?
An elective is a unit of study within a degree, usually an option within a course. Electives allow more detailed study of a particular subject. Students may choose electives from units offered by the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning, or from the Faculties of Arts, Economics, Engineering and Information Technologies or Science (timetable permitting).
Course opportunities
You will have the opportunity to complete an architectural professional practice unit in third year, which will prepare you for master's level study in architecture. In this unit of study, you will develop your understanding through the design development of a project and take this to development application level using current practice.
The Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning has a number of faculty-specific exchange programs available to you. As a student, you may undertake exchange in the second year or first semester of the third year of your degree. It is usually easier to obtain studio space at the start of the overseas academic year which, in the northern hemisphere, typically commences in September.
Course outcomes and further study
Graduate opportunities
Becoming a registered architect will open the world to you as the work of architects is no longer confined by geography. As a graduate, opportunities lie both within Australia and overseas, with a number of our past students having great successes internationally. By engaging with the environment, community and needs of clients and stakeholders, work as an architect can have a profound effect on people's lives around the world.
Course accreditation
When you successfully complete the Bachelor of Design in Architecture (or equivalent), the next step towards becoming a registered architect is the Master of Architecture, a 2-year professional program that prepares you for the complex and challenging architecture profession.
When you graduate from the degree of Master of Architecture, you will be entitled to registration as an architect under the Architects Act 1921 (NSW), subject to obtaining two years of approved practical experience, at least 12 months of which must be subsequent to graduation, and passing an architectural practice examination before registration.
As a student, you are eligible for student membership of the Australian Institute of Architects. Here you will receive each issue of Architecture Australia, the New South Wales chapter Bulletin, and the AIA News. You may also attend Institute functions. Admission to Associate Membership of the Australian Institute of Architects is based on two years approved practical experience.
Further study
Eligible candidates may proceed to an additional honours year in the Bachelor of Design in Architecture, or to the Master of Architecture. The BDesArch also provides for admission to a range of Sydney postgraduate and graduate entry coursework programs.
About honours
If you qualify for, or have been awarded, an undergraduate pass degree in Design, the Bachelor of Design in Architecture (Honours) provides you with the opportunity to extend your potential in a research task under the supervision of a member of academic staff. The honours degree requires an extra year of full-time study.
It will allow you to develop a deeper level of academic thought and research in an area of particular interest, identified during your three years of study in the Bachelor of Design in Architecture.
The award of honours is an avenue by which the best students can be recognised. By its nature, an honours degree carries more weight or prestige than the pass degree. It is highly regarded by employers and other universities.
Admission requirements
Admission to this course is on the basis of your secondary school leaving qualification such as the NSW Higher School Certificate (including national and international equivalents), tertiary study or an approved preparation program. English language requirements must be met where these are not demonstrated by sufficient qualifications taught in English.
You will be ranked by merit against other candidates, and offers for available places are issued according to the ranking.
The academic requirements that are displayed are applicable to currently available courses only, and are updated annually in October and may be changed without notice. The Faculty Handbook and the University of Sydney Calendar are the official legal source of information relating to study at the University of Sydney, and you are referred to those documents.

GREEN BAY—The Giants wanted to force a young quarterback to throw, but Packers Offensive Coordinator Tom Clements said the Packers still should've been able to run the ball.
"We still want to be able to run the ball, even when teams know we want to run the ball. We have various answers we can use to take care of that problem," Clements said on Monday, as he reviewed his offense's performance in a 27-13 loss at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
"We have a plan based on the personnel we have. We weren't as productive running the ball as we'd like. We had a lot of passing yards, but we didn't score many points," Clements said.
The Giants held the Packers No. 6 rushing offense to 55 net yards. Eventually, Tolzien was forced to throw and the Giants intercepted three of his passes, one of them having been returned for a touchdown. Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul said he anticipated the play.
"We'll ask the guy to rush harder the next time. Pierre-Paul made a good play. They won on that particular play," Clements said.
It was the game-clincher, at a time when the Packers had cut the Giants' lead to seven points and were attempting a fourth-quarter rally.
Tolzien threw for 339 yards and was uncanny in his deep-ball accuracy, but he's thrown five interceptions in two games. Interceptions and red-zone failures are marring an otherwise strong performance through two games.
"If you ask him, the biggest thing is we have to protect the football. He's been productive. We've had a lot of yards but if you turn the ball over, it'll come back to bite you," Clements said.
It would help Tolzien's cause if the Packers' running game was to return to form. It's gone to sleep the past two games.
"We had some (runs) where we had them all blocked up and there was a safety or a corner that got in on us quick. On some of the runs when we got 2-3 yards, we have to drive our legs and move the pile, like we did on the touchdown," Clements said.
Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers cited several positives in his unit's play, but the Packers' three-game losing streak has been dogged by big plays by the opposing offense.
"We gave up four big plays. Our pressure on the quarterback was good and it was nice to see Tramon (Williams) make the red-zone interception. That's points off the board," Capers said. "One of the things we had going for us during our win streak is we weren't giving up the big plays we did yesterday."
Eliminating big plays by the opponents and avoiding interceptions on offense will be the focus of the Packers' efforts this week, as they head toward a critical game against the Vikings.

1994 was a hell of a year for losing drummers. Pavement had dropped Gary Young the year before and put out the seminal Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain without him. Dinosaur Jr put out Without a Sound, their first record without Murph behind the kit. And Sebadoh released Bakesale, their first record without drummer Eric Gaffney.
Of these records, Pavement's obviously got the most attention, plus there were other classic indie rock records put out that year, like Superchunk's Foolish. Point is, the field was crowded, and while Sebadoh have always been appreciated by die-hard indie rock fans, the scope of their popularity has been a bit limited. So, clearly, the idea behind this huge reissue of Bakesale--like the recent reissues of The Freed Man, Sebadoh III, and Bubble & Scrape--is to get people to give Sebadoh another look.
Even if it flew under the radar a bit, though, you can hardly call Bakesale underrated. It landed on its share of year-end lists (and even fell in Spin's top 20 albums of the year) and garnered plenty of praise. It's also an album released on the same day as Barlow's old band, Dinosaur Jr, put out an album (Without a Sound) that is considered their worst. Meanwhile, many consider Bakesale the height of Sebadoh's powers, and the line on it has always been it is their most direct and tuneful album.
Tuneful as it may be, it is also the most brooding indie rock record of the bunch mentioned here, but it can also hold its own with any of them (and yes, that includes the untouchable Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain). Before 1994, Sebadoh records were unpredictable, often lo-fi, slapdash affairs. Lou Barlow delivered the moody indie-pop, Jason Loewenstein slowly but surely grew into the band's jagged rocker, and Eric Gaffney was their agent of chaos (check Sebadoh III's unruly "As the World Dies, the Eyes of God Grow Bigger" for evidence). Without Gaffney--sort of, he plays on four tracks --Bakesale lost its structureless, screeching antics but not its sense of shifting tones and tempos.
The album starts with buzzing rockers "License to Confuse," "Careful," and album (and career) standout "Magnet's Coil." In 1994, these must have been a bit off-putting, if only for the clarity of production. Gone was the tape-hiss and cheap crunch that informed 1992's Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock, and in its place were songs that sounded clearly recorded but never scrubbed up to shine. Loewenstein's "Not Too Amused" is still scuffed at the edges, the guitar tones never fully taking shape, while Barlow's first ballad on the record "Not a Friend" places the rattling bass above the guitar in a bizarrely haunting twist.
That's not to say the boys don't clean up well here either. The simple pop bliss of "Skull" adds a sunny haze to Barlow's down-in-the-dumps baritone, and "Temptation Tide," new drummer Bob Fay's one offering on the album, features his partner Anne Slinn's dreamy vocals. What becomes clear on this record, as the great songs pile up, as it whips up into a fever in places but never quite shakes its teenage-angst overcast, is that this is the record that finds Barlow and Loewenstein on equal footing as songwriters. If this seems a more even-keeled record, it's because Loewenstein is more consistent than he was on Bubble & Scrape. He taps into his own sad-bastard side here, so you may mistake this as Loewenstein doing his best Barlow. But, in the end, Barlow's finest moments -- even the driving "Rebound" -- are about the melody and the jangling chords, while Loewenstein wants that rocking grind, and often works himself into an unleashed howl.
With both guys on, and complementing each other so well -- Loewnstein's edge balances Barlow's sad croon and vice versa -- Bakesale is indeed their finest record. As brilliant as the three before it were, this is Sebadoh's most complete statement, and an indie rock highlight in a time where there was no shortage of those. For those who missed the experimental side of the band, the bonus disc here reminds us that their tape-hiss and wandering never left them. Culled from bonus 7-inches, demos, and singles from the Bakesale era, the second disc shows the oddball beginnings this excellent album rose out of. Loewenstein's demos are particularly striking -- showcasing early versions of "Careful," "Shit Soup," and others -- and act as solid documents of his growth as a writer and singer.
Barlow turns in his own bizarre success with the dissonant "Lime Kiln," and his shuffling "Social Medicine" is the best studio outtake here. There are some throwaways, like Bob Fay's sound experiments and the full-band noise tracks that made up the b-sides to the "Magnet's Coil" single, but there's also the excellent acoustic performances of "Rebound," "On Fire" (which would open 1996's Harmacy), and "Magnet's Coil" that remind us of the sweet melodies under the moody weight of the record.
Whether Bakesale got its just due its first time around or not, this is another generous and essential Sebadoh reissue. The beautifully (which is to say, lightly) remastered album, and the warts 'n all bonus disc shows us just how good of a band Sebadoh were, and why they became far more than just the band Barlow started after he left Dinosaur Jr. Not only that, Bakesale stands up remarkably well 17 years later, and makes a case that, in 1994, the indie rock world wasn't just about Pavement and Nirvana. There was also Barlow and Loewenstein.

i would agree that this is their best record they made. and one could mount an argument that "Careful" is the best song they ever wrote.
Agreed, "Careful" kills. Also, I don't think I realized how good "Mystery Man" was until coming back to the album for this.
One of my favorite records ever. Neck and neck with 'Slanted and Enchanted.'
jake's vocals are also very underrated. great singer.
