Parsing Metadata
From UA Libraries Digital Services Planning and Documentation
This page demonstrates how to parse out metadata that corresponds with actual scans from the entire, collection-level spreadsheet. In other words, if a collection has a grand total of 100 items and only 25 items have been scanned to date and are ready for Storage, this tutorial shows how to extract only the metadata for those scanned items from the total set.
What you need
- Collection-level metadata file (generally an .xlsx file)
- Microsoft Excel
- filenamesAndDupes.pl [found here: S:\Digital Projects\Administrative\scripts\qc]
- MyMetadataHelper.py [found here: S:\Digital Projects\Administrative\scripts\Python]
- A text editor (preferably one like Notepad++ Portable)
- Run filenamesAndDupes.pl across your Scans folder for which you want metadata. #*This ensures there are no problems with filenames, etc. If there are any errors found, they MUST be corrected before proceeding to the next step.
- Run MyMetadataHelper.py across the Scans folder for which you want metadata. You may also fun this file on a collection folder.
- Do what the script says regarding the file "pasteFromMetadata.txt"
- Open the text file called "pasteToMetadata.txt" made by MyMetadataHelper.py and then select and copy the results to your clipboard.
- Open your master, collection-level metadata.
- Paste the results from "pasteToMetadata.txt" into the bottom of the Filename column in the metadata Excel file, skipping approximately 10 rows from where the metadata ends.
- In Excel, highlight the entire Filename column.
- Find the Conditional Formatting tool in the middle of the Home ribbon. Click here and choose Highlight Cells Rules>Duplicate Values. Chose how you want duplicate values to be highlighted and click OK.
- The rows in the metadata that correspond to your items from the Scans folder/folders will be highlighted as you have chosen.
- Group the highlighted metadata together go to Sort & Filter on the right hand side of the Home ribbon. Choose custom sort. Sort by Filename, Sort on Cell Color, and choose to put the selected color of cells On Top or On Bottom.
Parsing Rohlig Audio Collection Metadata
- As of 2010 July this tutorial and the accompanying script do not apply to metadata and scans for the Rohlig Audio Collection as the metadata for this collection is made per item by Digital Services from other sources and because of filenaming differences for audio collections vs. image collections. Therefore, in order to parse out metadata for items for this collection ready for storage/delivery, one must parse out the metadata "by hand".

All price guides are Per Person Sharing Double Room (Entry level), based on travel between May and/or June when prices are generally at their lowest and include promotional offers.
Supplements will probably apply at other times, particularly mid-summer in the Med, and for rooms and/or transfers arranged for single travellers.
For example Caribbean and Indian Ocean prices for winter can be approximately double the May - June level and about 50% more in Asia.
For the Mediterranean & Canary Islands, Caribbean, Arabia and Indian Ocean (except Sri Lanka) price guides generally include air fare and transfers.
*For Sri Lanka and Far East we show a per person per night hotel guide, excluding air fare, as arrangements tend to be individually tailored multi centre itineraries.
Please refer to Travel Advice on our home page or look at www.fco.gov.uk as the Foreign Office may have issued specific destination information on safety and terrorism.

Today, dads are taking on more caregiving and household responsibilities than ever before. According to the Pew Research Center, fathers spend, on average, seven hours a week on child care—that's almost triple the time they provided in 1965. And fathers, like mothers, struggle to maintain work-life harmony. As family structures evolve, top employers are adapting their policies and programs in pursuit of an agile, competitive workforce.
This week marks the 25th anniversary of the Family & Medical Leave Act, a landmark law that has granted many eligible employees unpaid, job-protected leave to care for loved ones.
Earlier this month, Bill Gates reminded us there is hope for an Alzheimer's breakthrough and announced his $50 million investment in Alzheimer's R&D.
The experience of the American family has changed drastically. Today, there are more dual-earner households, single parents and female breadwinners than ever before. By the same token, demographic shifts and technology breakthroughs have transformed the nature of work. It's not surprising that work-life struggles are common.
It is, however, time to rethink what we know about work and family. As we recognize National Work and Family Month, let's reflect on some of today's work-life secrets and what you can do to stay ahead of the curve.
Success cannot be defined nor sustained by one dimension of our lives. Our physical health affects our work performance, and our job satisfaction affects our emotional well-being in and out of the office. The lessons we learn in one role make us stronger in another, but we oftentimes find ourselves in conflict between responsibilities. A workplace culture of health and flexibility can assist employees in achieving work-life harmony and position businesses as employers of choice.

No funeral will be held for Fred Phelps, Sr., the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, who died shortly before midnight late Wednesday.
The 84-year-old former leader of the controversial church, who was excommunicated in August 2013, died at a hospice in Topeka, Kan., shortly after his estranged son Nathan Phelps announced his father was "on the edge of death".
While the family offered no explanation for why there would be no funeral, his former church, known for its anti-gay protests at military funerals, tweeted out a statement giving "thanks [to] God for Fred Phelps Sr.'s passing."
"God forbid, if every little soul at the Westboro Baptist Church were to die at this instant, or to turn from serving the true and living God, it would not change one thing about the judgments of God that await this deeply corrupted nation and world. That is the pinnacle of your hopes, and by far the most vain. Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, or the power of God."

"One way or another, he's at peace. There's only Heaven or peaceful nothingness. That's what I think." RIP, Gramps. I love you forever.— Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) March 20, 2014
I'm so sorry for the harm he caused. That we all caused. But he could be so kind and wonderful. I wish you all could have seen that, too.— Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) March 20, 2014
I understand those who don't mourn his loss, but I'm thankful for those who see that "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind."
— Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) March 20, 2014
Love and peace to all. The world needs more of both. That's the part of Gramps I'll keep and share with others.— Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) March 20, 2014

Because osteoporosis is a condition with no symptoms, it is impossible to actually feel BINOSTO working in your body. It's very important to take BINOSTO exactly as your doctor has prescribed it.

Please Note: There are several recipes listed on this page. Please scroll down the page, to find the recipe you are seeking. Thank you!
Mushroom-Nut Burgers
Makes 4 servings
1 1/2 cups lightly packed fresh, soft whole-grain bread crumbs (see note)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or all-purpose seasoning
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups chopped mushrooms
1/3 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium tamari or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a medium baking pan with unbleached parchment paper.
Put the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl. Put the walnuts in a blender and process in pulses until they resemble coarsely ground flour. Add the walnuts to the bread crumbs and stir gently to incorporate. Put the mushrooms, onion, and tamari in a blender and process to a chunky purée. Add the mushroom mixture to the walnut/bread crumb mixture and stir to incorporate.
Place a 3-inch cookie cutter ring on the parchment. Pack one-quarter of the mushroom/bread crumb mixture into the ring and press it firmly and evenly into the ring to form a "burger." Gently remove the ring. Repeat with the remaining mushroom/bread crumb mixture.
Flatten each burger slightly with the back of a flat spatula. Bake for 18 minutes. Flip each burger, and bake for an additional 15 to 25 minutes or until the burgers are slightly crisp and golden.
Serve on toasted whole-grain buns, topped with lettuce, tomato, sweet onion, mustard, and catsup. These burgers are delightful served with Confetti Oven Fries and Jazzy Purple Coleslaw on the side. Or serve the burgers plain with a crisp green salad.
NOTE: To make fresh bread crumbs, put 3 to 4 large slices of whole-grain bread in a blender or food processor and process into coarse crumbs. To make gluten-free bread crumbs, use your favorite gluten-free bread in place of the whole-grain bread.
Confetti Oven Fries
Makes 2 to 4 servings
2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1/2 to 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning or all-purpose seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more as needed
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the potatoes into matchsticks or shoestrings; the thinner they are, the crispier the fries will be. Put the potatoes, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, and seasoning in a large bowl and toss gently until the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes and remove from the oven. Sprinkle with the sea salt and stir gently to coat. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until soft inside, slightly crisp outside, and browned along the edges. Serve immediately.
Pretty Purple Coleslaw
Makes 4 servings
4 cups grated purple cabbage
1 cup grated carrots
3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons brown sugar or maple sugar
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon gomasio or toasted sesame seeds
Put the cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, and sea salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Season with pepper. Cover and chill 2 to 4 hours. Before serving, sprinkle the top of the salad with gomasio or sesame seeds.
Banana Milk-less Shake
Makes 2 to 3 servings
3 very large (or 4 small) frozen bananas (see note)
1 1/2 cups chilled vanilla-flavored nondairy milk, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Put all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Taste and add more nondairy milk or maple syrup, if desired. Pour the mixture into pretty dessert dishes or glasses.
NOTE: To freeze a banana, peel and cut it into 3 or 4 pieces, and put them in a resealable freezer bag. Seal and freeze for at least 12 hours before using.

History of the Chamberlin Inn
"My husband and I are history buffs and it was so encouraging to see someone restore this property. It is very impressive."
A Thriving Hotel Since 1900
Court House
The property was later expanded to include the original Cody Circuit Judge Court House, one of the oldest buildings in Cody. Currently displayed in the hotel's conference room, is a 1910 photograph of Buffalo Bill and the newly elected Park County officers standing on the property outside the court house door.
Glory Days
During the 1920′s and 30′s, the Chamberlin Inn was the place to stay in Cody. Our guest registers display the signatures of numerous actors, authors, politicians, opera singers, movie stars, and tycoons. Names such as Ernest Hemingway, Marshall Fields, Larry Larom, Stanley, and Haliburton have been her guests.
Ernest Hemingway
We found Ernest Hemingway's signature in one of the Chamberlin's original guest registers. After considerable research by one of our guests, who happened to be a Hemingway scholar, we found that in 1932, while staying at the Chamberlin Hotel, Ernest Hemingway had just completed the manuscript for "Death in the Afternoon". After a few days of fishing the Clark's Fork River he mailed the manuscript and several short stories to his publishers. Then he went back to fishing by day and swapping stories with the locals in the Irma Bar at night. We have restored his room to reflect his lifestyle.
Agnes Chamberlin
Aggie was a pillar of the community. Her hotel dining room hosted the first Cody Club Chamber meeting and she published its history in The Story of The Cody Club 1900 – 1940. In 1926, she organized the first Buffalo Bill Memorial Association meeting in the hotel, where she was elected its first president. She also founded the Cody Women's Club. An accomplished pianist, she chartered the Cody Music Club. She was instrumental in the building of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches and later donated land for the Cody Airport. Agnes lived to help dedicate KODI radio station just prior to her death in 1947.

Ivey and her Grandpa, October 2010. Happy days that we thought would last longer.
It's a painful thing to write and impossible to put into words, and that's why I haven't yet. But on December 11, 2013, after a long hospital stay and a much longer bout with Wegener's Granulomatosis, my dad died. He was surrounded by his family, under a piece of the Wardlaw tartan he loved so much. I'm glad I got to be there with him during his last moments on Earth, because I think he knows we were there. Not everyone gets to have that. But it was still the most painful few hours of my life, and I know I'm not alone in that.
We all went in one by one to tell him goodbye. I don't know if he could hear me. He never got to tell us goodbye; when he last talked to us, none of us had any idea it would be the last time. I wonder what he would have said. Nurses cried with us. Hospital staff thoughtfully brought in sandwiches and drinks and a prayer shawl for my mom. A music therapist came and played hymns on the keyboard, and the hospital chaplain and the minister from our church came. He died around 6:45 in the evening. We had to leave and make the strange, lonely drive home without him.
I never knew before that a house could be sad, but my parents' house was. The walls just ached with emptiness. The home our family had shared for decades, that my dad had cared for so meticulously, mourned with us. We brought home the tiny 12-inch tree Jordan and I had decorated in his hospital room one day before. One day before. How quickly things can come crashing down. It was the only Christmas tree in the house this year.
Upon arriving at the church for the funeral in the steady cold rain, I thought I was fine. I had managed to not melt down at visitation the night before. But then I opened the door to the church and heard the bagpiper. The one thing my dad really wanted at his minimalist graveside-only service was a single bagpiper to play Amazing Grace. We had tried to get a whole band, but because it was Christmastime, hardly anyone was available on such short notice. So he got his way. Every time I'd heard bagpipes in recent years, mostly at various Highland Games events, Daddy had been there. In fact, I'd been there because of him and his enthusiasm for our Scottish heritage. This time, he wasn't. I looked across the churchyard where the funeral tents over his grave site sheltered his casket from the rain. The beautiful, sad bagpipes were there to mark our farewell. I loved the music, but it hurt.
My brothers and I wrote down some memories of our dad and asked a good friend from church to read them at the funeral. Lots of people couldn't hear what was being read because the rain was pounding on the tent for the whole service. The rain was inconvenient and messy, but also kind of perfect. I told my family over a month ago that I would post what we wrote on my blog for people to read. I've been meaning to do it, but knew that writing this post would take me back to that dark little hospital room. It's a place I've been trying to stay out of mentally for the past few weeks, as we process things and find a new normal and try to walk our children through their grief as well. But I feel a little better now that this is written. Here is what we all wrote to be read at Daddy's funeral.
Music has always been one of the things I have enjoyed. I remember dad spending time with me as a child and playing Highlights of the Messiah and Bach Organ Fugues on the old RCA record player. He told me he enjoyed these when he took music appreciation and had to go to the Virgil Fox organ concert at Littlejohn Coliseum when he was a student at Clemson. I think he enjoyed listening to me play the piano and sing even through all the mistakes when one practices. He always encouraged me to practice.
I also remember the numerous times he would take me to road races when I was in high school and college. He taught me it was more about the effort one puts into things than winning. This could never be seen more than when he took me to the NCAA regional cross country championship meet and was waiting on me as I was the very last runner to cross the finish line. He shared that he was still very proud of me because I didn't quit.
Although I enjoyed school, I never was one that exactly learned in the same way as others. Dad always encouraged me even through college when I changed majors at least four times. He never let me give up on myself even though there always seemed to being a great deal of obstacles in my way. He expressed to me that he was so proud to see the effort I had put forth through trying circumstances much more so than the fact that I earned my doctorate.
Dad encouraged me greatly in my spiritual life. He thought it was very important that I used my musical ability in church. He always taught us that we should use the gifts God gave us to serve Him. There were countless Sunday nights that he would wait on me because I sang in choir.
Later in his life, Dad became very interested in family genealogy and all things Scottish. As a family, we regularly attended the Highland games each year. Dad enjoyed having all of us there, dressed in our tartans and participating in all the festivities. He allowed me to represent our clan at the Kirking of the Tartans and allowing me to march our tartan flag in the parade of clans after the service.
My father, above all, was a great family man. He particularly loved playing with us when we were young children, and it was wonderful watching his immense enjoyment of being with his grandchildren.
Although he was a man of many interests, there were certain things he shared with each of us individually. Growing up, we spent lots of time fishing, arrowhead hunting, rock-hounding, and enjoying the outdoors. I especially enjoyed those times.
My dad was not an extremely social person, but the people who were close to him know that he had a fantastic sense of humor. His impressions of people, usually family, were priceless and hilarious. If he took the time to make fun of you, you knew you were special to him.
Later in life, he and I shared a love of music and art. We also both celebrated our family heritage, and relished going to Scottish Highland Games together with the family. He taught me from a very young age to garden, and was masterful at growing things. He loved woodworking and construction projects, but would become frustrated with it, as he was a perfectionist. I worked with him on many of those, and am so happy that we had the opportunity to share one last project: his garage, and now, my pottery studio.
I learned a great many things from him, the best of which is how to be there for my family. He will be sorely missed, but will live on in our memories and recollections.
One of my earliest memories is of dancing on my Daddy's feet. Every time we watched Sleeping Beauty and the waltz would come on, Mama would say, "It's your song!" We'd hold hands and I'd stand on his docksiders as we twirled around and around in our little kitchen.
You never would have found him teaching kindergarten, or even Sunday School—but my dad loved babies and little children. When I was about three years old, I used to throw my Barbie dolls across the room in anger, because I did not yet have the fine motor skills to change their tiny outfits. Daddy would hear the thud, come in and pick the Barbie up, and dress it for me. Memories like these are what I most want to share about my dad. Daddy could sit in the floor and join in a toddler's games in a way that most adults can't.
He read me endless Little Critter books, and our favorite Christmas book was "Santaberry and the Snard." He played countless games of Pop-O-Matic Trouble with me, even though I wasn't a very good sport and would run off crying if I lost.
Whenever I got a stomachache at school and called to be picked up early, he'd usually take me to his work in the P&A building at Clemson. Sometimes he'd bring me a little cup of Dr. Pepper because "it was what the doctor ordered." Anytime I forgot something I needed for school, from elementary all the way through high school, I'd call him and he'd run home and get it for me.
Once I started middle school, I made him late to work nearly every day. Mama left for work at the crack of dawn, so he drove me. He teased me for putting makeup on as we rode—"This is a pickup truck, not a beauty parlor." But I am thankful for the time we spent riding together in his little cream-colored Ford—from when I was six and so excited to be riding in a brand-new truck, to the last time before I started driving myself in high school. The summer after I graduated we got in that same truck and rode up to Clemson University, where he helped me find all the buildings on my class schedule so I wouldn't be lost during my first days of college.
My father was creative and artistic, but this usually manifested in silly, small ways. When I was little I hated taking a bath. One night when bath time was unfortunately near, he said "I'm going to go draw your bath." He ran out of the room and came back with a pencil and a piece of paper. A couple of minutes later, he handed me a sketch of a smiling little girl peeking over the side of a bathtub. "Jenny's bath," just to make me laugh.
Most people have no idea what a beautiful singing voice my father had. He never sang in public, but at home when I as little, he made up what he called "Little D songs"—D stood for daughter—and he would belt out improvised tunes about how sweet and cute I was. Though he obviously had a gift for music, he never played an instrument. He did, however, whistle. Every day of his life and always perfectly in tune, he whistled his favorite hymns and Christmas carols year round, especially "Sleigh Ride."
He was also great at doing impressions. Dozens of people were skillfully imitated around our dinner table, but none more often or more lovingly than my maternal grandmother, Mama Susie. Daddy was hilariously accurate and had the spot-on facial expressions to go with the voices. It warms my heart to see that my eldest daughter, six-year-old Suzi, picked up on this talent of his and is refining it herself.
My parents' loving marriage of 47 years was a blessing to us all. The day before my father died, my mother told me about a vision she'd had in the chapel. She saw her own hand, holding a few smooth, sparkling river stones, blue with silver flashes running through them. Jewels the likes of which you'd never find on Earth—an otherworldly, heavenly treasure. She heard God tell her to give them to Him, and she passed the precious stones into God's hand.
My father was a treasure to us—to my mother, his best friend and wife, most of all—but the people we love are not treasures that we get to keep forever. We did not know how long we would get to keep my dad, especially after his illness began nine and a half years ago. At one point he was so sick and we were so sure we would lose him that Jordan and I considered getting married a few months early in a little hospital room in Greenville, just so I could have my dad at my wedding. His recovery was a miracle, and as heartbroken as we are to be without him now, I will always thank God for the last nine and a half years. Despite his illness, he did so much living in those years. We walked down the aisle together at my wedding. We spent one incredible week at Disney World, a place he dearly loved. About a year later I got to see the look on his face when I told him he was going to be a Grandpa. He made an amazing grandfather, and I'm so thankful that Suzi, Ivey, and Robert knew him. He rocked my babies to sleep, took them to the park, and read them nursery rhymes. It was also in the last decade that he realized how much he loved his Scottish heritage. He was so proud and handsome in his Wardlaw tartan kilt, and he loved it all so much he wanted to share it with all of us.
Losing my dad has been the worst heartbreak of my life, but I have found comfort in these memories and I hope you do too. And please—sometime this weekend when the mood strikes, take a minute to whistle your favorite Christmas carol in memory of my sweet dad.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -The Lipscomb Bisons and Lady Bisons golf teams are poised to elevate their programs; however like almost everything in life they need more money and time.
This week Will Brewer, the new Lipscomb Director of Golf and men's golf coach, presented a plan for a short-game project to be constructed at Nashville Golf and Athletic Club. The cost of the project is estimated at $125,000. The deadline to complete the funding is March 31, 2013.
Brewer, who along with women's golf coach Buddy Harston, are overseeing the design, is confident that construction will start on time. He is basing his optimism on responses to a funding request for the program made Tuesday night, Nov. 13, to a gathering of former Lipscomb golfers, coaches and other supporters of the Lipscomb athletics program at Richland Country Club.
"We are very excited with our agreement with Nashville Golf and Athletic Club," Brewer said. "For us to improve our rankings and attract recruits we must have an attractive home course. This home course and short-game facility will provide us with a place to show our recruits to insure we are on the same level as other programs."
The March 31 deadline is necessary for the state-of-the-art short-game facility to be properly seeded and allow time for growth in order to be in condition for the players when they return to school in fall of 2013.
"When Buddy and I look at recruits and our team the glaring weakness is the short game," Brewer said. "Most players focus on their swings and they forget about scoring shots. We have been able to improve this fall through mental awareness and our short game."
One of the major points made by Brewer during the gathering was the need to rebrand the Lipscomb golf programs. In September the Bisons were rated 239 in GolfStat. This week the team is rated 161. In the Golfweek rankings the men were at 215 Sept. 1 and are 146 this week.
"We are pleased with the team's improvement," Brewer said. "However, we are not satisfied. We have more goals set and championships to compete for.
"Quite frankly, our acceleration has been better than I imagined. I think we can get into the NCAA top 100 soon. That might be three years, two years or six months. I know we have a strong recruiting class for 2013."
Brewer also pointed out the need for more funding for tournament and recruiting trips as well as for scholarships.
"We are not in a crisis mode, but we are under-funded," Brewer said. "Most of that scholarship funding need is on the women's side. The NCAA provides the women's team with six scholarships. We are at 3.2 for both the men and women. The men's program is allowed 4.5 scholarships."
Brewer also wants to upgrade tournament schedules which will increase the competition level for Lipscomb's golf teams as well as, hopefully, allow the team more opportunities to move up in the rankings.
"Western Kentucky has a tournament and we should be in it," Brewer said. "There is a tournament in Florida in February that I want us to play in. We need to move toward the rest of the Atlantic Sun Conference teams and that means playing in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida.
"We need more budget dollars to do that. As our rankings improve we will be more intentional and our brand will be more recognizable."
In addition to Nashville Golf and Athletic, the Lipscomb teams also play at Richland, Brentwood Country Club, Old Hickory Country Club and The Grove. All offer different challenges to the players.
Brewer and Harston aren't doing this alone. A golf council has been formed that includes Robert Frost, Glen Combs, Dale Armstrong, Dr. Ralph Samples, Loren Personette, Robbie Davis, Katherine Neely Murrie, Greg Wilder, Scott Holden, Harston and Brewer.
"I want them to help us brand our product in their spheres of influence," Brewer said.
Lipscomb athletic director Philip Hutcheson has no doubts that Brewer will elevate the golf programs.
"When we announced that we were looking for a Director of Golf and new men's golf coach, the first name that I thought of and the first name that was passed along to me and the name that was mentioned most frequently and the name of the person that we ended up hiring all ended up being the same name - Will Brewer," Hutcheson said. "There is not one person I know of whose resume would fit more perfectly for the job here than Will Brewer.
Hutcheson cited Brewer's history as a collegiate champion, as a recognized PGA professional, as a PGA Instructor of the Year in the state of Tennessee and as a parent of collegiate golfers who understands the ups and downs of the student- athlete experience. He added that Brewer is a person who has had to work on the business side of the game and as an alumnus understands the culture and the community at Lipscomb.
"His proven record of and commitment to excellence made him the perfect choice to work with Coach Buddy Harston toward elevating our programs to national prominence," Hutcheson said. "I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Lipscomb golf."
One of the most exciting fundraising events is scheduled for April 10, 2013. For $1,650 a person Lipscomb golf fans can board a chartered 737 and fly to Augusta National for a practice round and the Par 3 at the Masters. There are only 150 seats available.
Contact Will Brewer at email@example.com to make a reservation for the trip or to make a contribution to the program.

Anyone who is human or has ever been in love finds themselves reflected in these characters
Twin Beach Players have staged Theater at the Beaches since 1997, when the traveling nomads in search of a home debuted with A Christmas Carol.
In 14 years, they've brightened life at the Beaches. All with never a home of their own. And at prices lower than you'd pay to see a movie.
This Valentine's season, the Players want to exchange Valentines with you. Their Valentine to you: Love Letters and a Southern Maryland dinner. In turn, the Players hope you'll send your love wrapped in $45 before joining the fun Sunday, Feb. 12 at Rod N Reel.
Proceeds of the Valentine fundraiser support the creation of a Twin Beach Players Fine Arts Center.
About the show, Pulitzer Prize winning A.R. Gurney's Love Letters, says Twin Beach Players director Tom Wines: "Anyone who is human or has ever been in love finds themselves reflected in these characters."
Love Letters is a popular play this time of year. In Annapolis, Bay Theatre Company is in the second of its six week run. Down the road in Rose Haven, yet another Love Letters plays over dinner at Honey's Harvest on Saturday, Feb. 11.
Unique to Twin Beach Players are local celebrities Doug Hill and Lisa Baden, playing a couple speaking through letters from childhood through their mid 50s. Hill, of Huntingtown, is chief meteorologist for ABC 7 News/WJLA-TV in Washington. Baden, of Rose Haven, is traffic reporter at WNEW, the new CBS radio station in Washington.
For $45 ($80 a couple), you'll see Hill and Baden's co-starring premier, dine with the Players and friends on a Southern Maryland buffet of fried chicken and baked ham buffet and bid at a silent auction: 5-9pm.
RSVP by Feb. 5 for Feb. 12 at http://www.twinbeachplayers.com.

A quotation by Niels Abel
If you disregard the very simplest cases, there is in all of mathematics not a single infinite series whose sum has been rigorously determined. In other words,the most important parts of mathematics stand without a foundation.
Quoted in G F Simmons, Calculus Gems (New York 1992).
[About Gauss' mathematical writing style]
He is like the fox, who effaces his tracks in the sand with his tail.
Quoted in G F Simmons, Calculus Gems (New York 1992).
It appears to me that if one wishes to make progress in mathematics, one should study the masters and not the pupils.
Quoted in O Ore, Niels Abel, Mathematician Extraordinary
With the exception of the geometric series, there does not exist in all of mathematics a single infinite series whose sum has been determined rigorously.
Quoted in E Maor, To Infinity and Beyond: a Cultural History of the Infinite
The divergent series are the invention of the devil, and it is a shame to base on them any demonstration whatsoever. By using them, one may draw any conclusion he pleases and that is why these series have produced so many fallacies and so many paradoxes ...
Quoted in E Maor, To Infinity and Beyond: a Cultural History of the Infinite
The mathematicians have been very much absorbed with finding the general solution of algebraic equations, and several of them have tried to prove the impossibility of it. However, if I am not mistaken, they have not as yet succeeded. I therefore dare hope that the mathematicians will receive this memoir with good will, for its purpose is to fill this gap in the theory of algebraic equations.

Paris-based Onra's allegiance lies with the more experimental contingent of hip hop beatmakers. A sampling savant, as demonstrated by the impressive two-part Chinoiseries project – a fusion of vintage Vietnamese and Chinese pop with hip hop – his sophisticated compositions rank way up there with those of J Dilla and Flying Lotus. The Red Bull Music Academy-schooled artist, born Arnaud Bernard, has shown an equally firm grasp of Southeast Asian influences, neon-soaked funk and a kind of heavy, fatty, growling bass. His latest EP, Deep in the Night (Fool's Gold), flirts with early '80s electro-funk, as popularized by Afrika Bambaataa and Debbie Deb. With a sexy, late-night, languorous sound, the electrifying performer continues to explore the esoteric groove he first set out to capture on his acclaimed 2010 album, Long Distance. Onra belongs to a rare breed of polymorphous producers who channel multiple strands of inspiration, all the while refusing to comply to the music industry's prevailing sonic precepts.

In order to handle extreme pressure, there needs to be some sort of big picture perspective also. If we live and die based on how we perform, then we can be left elated, but also devastated.
If we understand that we can only do what we can do to our best ability, then we can deal with not coming through under pressure.
It was a weekend of redemption, of amazing comebacks and awesome feel good stories in sports. If you are a fan of great endings, this past Sunday was full of them, wasn't it? (And yes, I say this as a die-hard Giants fan. Wait, as a die-hard World Champions Giants fan.)
At one point this season, the New York Giants were 7-7 and many were calling for a coaching change, a quarterback change or team uniform change, something! But the team believed in what they were doing, believed in their coach and believed, most importantly, in themselves. They did not panic, they won critical games and peaked at the right time. Now they have their fourth Lombardi Trophy.
What does this have to do with golf? Well, quite a bit. Look no further than earlier in the day when Kyle Stanley, recovering from a disastrous meltdown on the final hole last week at Torrey Pines, believed in himself, didn't panic or make drastic changes and came charging back from 8 shots back to win the Waste Management Open at TPC Scottsdale.
At some point, we are all going to have failings on the golf course. How we react to those missed putts, sprayed drives and flubbed chips will determine whether we ever have the chance to rise above them and distinguish ourselves as champions (whether it's your weekend match, club championship or at a major.)
So how do you deal with tough situations and bounce back? I have three thoughts.
1.) Practice, practice, practice. When the pressure gets intense, you need to let muscle memory and solid fundamentals take over. Five minutes at the range before you tee off for the day doesn't count. Get some reps in! This is especially true following a bad shot.
2.) Get a solid routine. This helps alleviate pressure as well. Firing the trigger is just part of the routine. No chance to freeze if you are going through a comfortable routine (but don't take five minutes like certain Tour pros.) Think about the players as they played the famous 16th hole this week. With large, often boisterous and rowdy crowds waiting to cheer or jeer, they could not afford to think about the reception they'd get from their shot. They had to think about executing the shot. Rely on the routine.
3.) Discipline. My way of saying, "Stay cool." It's ok to get excited, to be happy, but if you rely on that emotion, it probably gets you in trouble as much as it helps you too. If you live and die by your golf game, well, you probabably take it too seriously (touring pros excluded), but also, it can devastate you more than it should.
Had a bad hole? Bad round? It's an opportunity to bounce back in a great way. The old adage that the you can't learn to win until you learn how to lose is very true. Kyle Stanley is going to be one of the great golf and sports stories of the year because he took what could have been a really rotten story and turned it around into a great one. Congrats to him and what a great lesson for all of us. (Oh, and so did the Giants!)

Stamford family restaurant marks 30 years
On Stamford's east side: Restaurant keeps up after 30 years of providing personal touch
Tucked away in a small retail center on the east side of Stamford, a quaint Italian restaurant has been a gathering spot for three decades.
Founded by Libera and Salvatore Stimma, Villa Italia at 812 E. Main St. will mark 30 years in business next month. With a white picket fence and plants at its entrance, the restaurant beckons customers.
Libera, 67, said the restaurant's success is based on good food and a desire to make each customer a special guest. It's a simple formula that she and her husband brought with them from the Italian island of Ponza when they came to this country in 1975.
"It was a challenge. We started from zero. The first day we made $300," said Libera, who works with her son, Michael. "I never thought we'd last 30 years. I love the customers. Each one is part of my family."
While the business grew as a neighborhood place to enjoy a meal, word began to spread about the little 50-seat restaurant after Libera's sister, Ester Vitiello, 59, bought it seven years ago and, with Michael, introduced a Web site and began using Facebook to regularly post its specials.
"It helped us tremendously. Without it, we wouldn't be here. But our biggest asset is word of mouth," Ester said.
Ester said she considers as partners Libera, Salvatore, Michael and her brother, Neil, who joined as the chef five years ago, as well as her son, Sam Lebreton, and cousin, Emanuala Fox, who also work there.
Salvatore turned his chef's duties over to Neil, who added his own touches to the menu, which includes family recipes from Ponza.
"It wasn't easy, but with patience and love, we did it. My sister was a persuader," said Neil, 51, who had owned a restaurant in Rye, N.Y.
The family delights in sharing a meal at the end of a long day.
"After the shift, we sit at table one," said Michael, 34. "When my parents ran the restaurant, Zagat said it was a diamond in the rough. Now we have a polished jewel."
A loyal customer who has shared much of her life with the family is Stamford resident Pam Riley.
"I've been going there as long as they've been open. When my (late) husband, James, was sick they were the nicest people. The food is outstanding," she said.
Good food and service are essential, said Jack Condlin, president and CEO of the Stamford Chamber of Commerce, but communications technology is a must.
"Family restaurants have historically focused on word of mouth. The restaurant world is dog eat dog," he said. "Small restaurants with electronic communications are able to grow."

Meet and Eat: Ashley Tam, Spring Editorial Intern
Name: Ashley Tam

Occupation: Freelance writer

Guilty pleasures? Absolute guiltiest pleasure is Lunchables pepperoni pizza. I was so jealous of my elementary school friends whose mothers didn't pack homemade, healthy lunches. I should know better now, but no one wanted to swap grapes and baby carrots for their tiny delicious pizzas and I think it still haunts me.
Describe your perfect meal. Tomato bisque and a grilled cheese with caramelized onions and gruyere along with a fresh-squeezed lemonade. To be enjoyed either with friends or Netflix. And something ridiculously decadent for dessert.
What food won't you eat? I'm actually allergic to seafood, which is kind of fortunate, because I also hate it. A no-feed-feedback-loop.
Favorite food person? Julia Child, no question. Lots of folks inspire me, but watching her on PBS growing up ignited my passion for food. She made "gourmet" accessible to everyone, including 5-year-olds waiting for Barney to come on. And she's adorable.
When did you first realize you were a serious eater? When I asked a Denny's waitress for soy sauce for my eggs at age 8. They were bland, and I knew an umami kick would help even before I knew what "umami" was. Unfortunately, Denny's did not have soy sauce.
What do your family and your friends think of your food obsessions? I'd say they're into it because any time spent with me means good food, whether it's 30 different batches of cupcakes I made on one frenzied week's quest to find the perfect recipe or dragging them to explore an authentic, ethnic hole-in-the-wall through the snow uphill both ways with no shoes. Wait, maybe they're not so into it. Guys? ...Guys?
Favorite food sites or blogs? Gourmet and Saveur for when I'm feeling fancy. Tastespotting for the gorgeous photos. Smitten Kitchen for no-fail recipes.
Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant recommendations. Who's yours? I like to crowdsource my restaurant recommendations either by consulting Yelp or by aggressively accosting terrified locals on the street to demand where their favorite bite is.
What is your favorite meal of the day and where do you get it? Dinner, and ideally, from my mom's kitchen. She's an incredible cook with a very discerning palate who's inspired me from day one, and there may be nothing better for the soul than a warm, delicious meal shared with your warm, loving family.
Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? I love to cook! I'd say my best dish is roast chicken with kale and quinoa, but my friends and family would probably say one of my desserts, like mini caramel pumpkin cheesecakes or dark chocolate babka.

Evasive maneuvers, evasive action, or evasive pattern – also occasionally known as an evasive course, defensive pattern, evasion maneuvers, or evasion tactics – were a sequence of defensive movements employed by starship commanders to evade enemy weapons fire, or capture. These movements were specified by predefined or on the spot course changes. Although each race used different terminology for their evasive maneuvers, the tactics remained the same.
In 2254, Una asked Captain Christopher Pike if they should make evasive maneuvers when something came closer to the USS Enterprise on a collision course with the speed of light. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I")
Commander Spock used a spiral evasive course to break free from the constraint of the globular force field surrounding the USS Enterprise. (TAS: "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth")
When the USS Enterprise-D was attacked by a Cardassian starship, Captain Jean-Luc Picard ordered a "delta-sequence" evasive maneuver. (TNG: "The Wounded")
An example of this was the Starfleet maneuver "pattern delta" which was to simply a maneuver of rocking the ship hard from port to starboard. Evasive "pattern delta 5" was used to keep attacking ships off balance. (DS9: "Shattered Mirror", "The Search, Part I")
In contrast to evasive patterns, offensive movements such as attack patterns or tactical patterns are instances where a starship commander intends to engage the enemy in a confrontation, rather than evade. These patterns were known as standard maneuvers.
Then there were other types of maneuvers that were named for the person who executed them the first time such as "The Picard Maneuver" which was named for Jean Luc Picard. (TNG: "The Battle")
In 2369, while confronted with a Miradorn Theta-class raider in the Chamra Vortex, Odo ordered evasive maneuvers for his runabout USS Ganges. (DS9: "Vortex")
Red Squad was killed by the Jem'Hadar battleship before they could implement evasive maneuvers. (DS9: "Valiant")

Global grosses rose with each of the three Lord Of The Rings releases. Can Peter Jackson's The Hobbit [pictured] improve on the original trilogy? Ian Sandwell reports
If it were not for a certain boy wizard, the phrase 'one ring to rule them all' could have been applied to The Lord Of The Rings trilogy at the global box office: while Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone's $974.8m saw it top the worldwide charts in 2001 ahead of The Fellowship Of The Ring's impressive $871.5m, the following Rings instalments lorded over the charts in 2002 and 2003 thanks to returns of $926m for The Two Towers and $1.1bn for The Return Of The King.
The series-topping success of the climactic instalment — not just at the box office but the Oscars too, where The Return Of The King won each of the 11 categories in which it was nominated — has set a daunting precedent for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Having changed directorial hands from Guillermo del Toro, The Hobbit sees Peter Jackson return to the Shire for a second trilogy after the original plan for two films based on JRR Tolkien's classic novel morphed into three films.
Warner Bros is releasing The Hobbit trilogy worldwide with domestic dates for part two — The Desolation Of Smaug — and part three — There And Back Again — set for Dec 13, 2013 and July 18, 2014, respectively. First up is An Unexpected Journey, which is released day-and-date in the majority of international territories on or around Dec 14, before releases in Russia on Dec 19 and Australia on Dec 26. A release in China is scheduled for January, where it could come up against Skyfall.
If it follows the pattern set by The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey can expect some healthily consistent returns in a number of major territories. Leading the way is the UK, where the first trilogy enjoyed a gradual increase throughout, from Fellowship Of The Ring's $90.2m haul to The Return Of The King's mighty $106.6m. All three instalments rank in the UK box office's all-time top 10.
Gradual increases over the trilogy are commonplace in The Lord Of The Rings' leading international territories. Australia leapt from $24.7m for Fellowship to $36.6m for Return; Spain from $28.2m to $39.8m; and South Korea from $15.5m to $28.5m. Perhaps most impressive was Return's performance in Japan, where after a slight drop from $68.1m for Fellowship to $65m for The Two Towers, Return climaxed with a stunning $95m. Even if this was only good enough to make it Japan's third-biggest grosser of the year, behind Howl's Moving Castle ($190m) and Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban ($121.6m), the result made Japan the second-biggest international market for The Return Of The King.
Overall, Germany ranks as the second most successful international territory across The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, contributing $244.8m to the overall $2.9bn worldwide bounty. Following near identical returns for Fellowship ($78.6m) and The Two Towers ($78.7m), The Return Of The King jumped almost $10m to $87.5m in the territory.
It is a similar story in North America. Grosses increased by around $30m for each instalment, from Fellowship's $315.5m to $377.8m for The Return Of The King. In a year of almost unprecedented success in the US, including Marvel's The Avengers' peerless $207.4m debut and The Dark Knight Rises' highest-ever 2D debut of $160.9m, the presence of a built-in audience for The Hobbit bodes well and could see the franchise notch its first opening weekend over $100m — The Return Of The King came closest with $72.6m — especially with the added 3D revenue boost.
And if there are concerns about audience appetite for a prequel to a trilogy that was made almost 10 years ago, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey can look towards the example set by the Star Wars films. Despite a less than sterling critical reaction, audiences took the prequel trilogy to $2.5bn worldwide even if Attack Of The Clones' $640.9m return was markedly different to The Phantom Menace ($1bn) and Revenge Of The Sith ($848.8m).
Further evidence audiences will return en masse to a much-loved series comes in the form of recent successful quasi-prequels, including Casino Royale, which was also a franchise reboot, and Prometheus. The 2006 return of James Bond in grittier form shot its way to $599m worldwide (a series best before Skyfall), while Ridley Scott's return to the world of Alien netted more than $400m worldwide including the best domestic return of the series at $126.7m, a performance that drops to a respectable third-best based on adjusted grosses.

TMZ had the exclusive this morning — former Heat forward Glen Rice is being sued by some folks who produced and filmed his team handball tournament in Miami in 2009.
As usual, TMZ's headline—"NBA Legend Sued Over Handball"—screamed with sensationalism. If Glen Rice is an NBA legend, then I am Antawn Jamison, who is also an NBA legend.
Anyway, 15 people are suing Rice for a total of $22,320, which seems like a lot for handball-related expenses. In the web journalism industry, video production costs are usually "minimum wage plus the price of a used Flip Cam."
Did Glen Rice ever agree to have coffee with you and not show up? Did he promise to throw you an alley-oop and not do that? Let us know.
UPDATE: Read the lawsuit here.

Summer predictions, a Foppa update and a Dave Fay tribute – and a late update on NY Rangers cap situation
July 18: Below is the original blog, but I've seen a few comments chastising me for suggesting the NY Rangers could afford Peter Forsberg as a free agent.
One reader said the Rangers only have $1 million in cap space. Wrong. They have a little more than $3 million, PLUS another $3 million in bonus money they can use to go OVER the $50.3 million salary cap. Whatever amount they go over in that $3 million pool, counts toward next year's cap. But, in reality, the Rangers have $6 million to spend on Forsberg.
I think he'd take that.
Back from a Disney vacation, where the Wonderful World totally shocked and awed me. What is the power bill for that place anyway? Unbelievable, simply amazing place, and my 3-year-old boy had quite the time, especially on the "Soaring Over California" ride, which I have trouble finding words to explain.
Anyway, it's 98 degrees here today and there is a spot on my lawn that looks like the uniforms of the 1973 San Diego Padres. So, what better time to make some hockey predictions?
First up, Peter Forsberg. I don't think Foppa is coming back to the Avalanche. Call it a reporter's hunch at this point, nothing more. I'm not ready to write "The Denver Post has learned……" on this one yet.
But I don't think it's going to happen.
I don't think he'll be back for many of the reasons readers of this ink-stained wretch already know: too much baggage, getting up there in age (34, wow, can that really be true?), too high maintenance. The Avs wouldn't appear to have a good place to play him, either. They're set with a top-two center combo of Joe Sakic and Paul Stastny, leaving Forsberg either to play third-line center or left wing on one of the first three lines. Ryan Smyth, Wojtek Wolski and Andrew Brunette are natural left wingers, and figure to spend a lot of time on the top two lines. Tyler Arnason did a nice job as a third-line center, so where do you play him if Foppa takes his spot?
I also think Francois Giguere is a man with little to no room in his heart for sport sentimentality. This is a guy who is all about the future, not the past. So, while Forsberg will go down as one of the all-time great Avalanche players and a likely Hall of Famer, he is too much of the past, not the future, for Giguere's tastes.
The only way I see Foppa coming back to This Dusty Old Cowtown is through a combination of fan outcry and top sales job by Forsberg himself to the Avs, that it would be in their best interests to find a place for him.
The fans want him back, that much is clear. And trust me, Avs nation, Giguere and Co. on Chopper Circle know it. They hear you. And, I think Forsberg would love to come back. But I also know that Forsberg doesn't think of himself, even at this point in his career, as a third-liner. And he's not. He's still a point-a-game guy, and let's not forget it was HIS assist that effectively put the Avalanche out of the playoffs last season.
If the Avs had beaten Nashville in the second-to-last game of the season, they would have snuck into the playoffs if all other things had stayed equal. But Forsberg killed them with a great pass to Paul Kariya, and that was it. That's not too far in the past, Francois.
Forsberg isn't going to beg the Avs to take him back. Plenty of other teams will make him a nice offer if the Avs don't want to. One of them probably will be Detroit, and wouldn't that be a great PR moment for the Avs if he goes there?
My prediction, though, is that Foppa goes to one of two places: Anaheim or the Rangers. I won't get into all the reasons why them at the moment, but there it is, that's my prediction.
Here are a few more predictions, for no particular reason:
– Sidney Crosby will score 150 points this year.
– Ryan Smyth will score 40-50 goals for the Avalanche IF he plays on a line with Paul Stastny, not Joe Sakic. Sakic is more of a shooter than a passer, but Stastny would set him up all night.
– Patrick Roy will be a coach in the NHL within two years.
– Jose Theodore will be sent to the minors at some point this year. The Avs will call it a "conditioning assignment" but we'll know better.
– Alex Tanguay will have a public blowup with new Flames coach Mike Keenan at some point.
– The St. Louis Blues will make the playoffs, even challenge for the division title.
– Dominik Hasek will spend part or much of the season on the injured list with Detroit.
– Columbus will again be awful.
– Sheldon Souray will be the biggest free-agent bust, for Edmonton.
– Milan Hejduk will NOT be traded anywhere.
– Rob Blake will come back to the Avs at the trade deadline as a rental player.
– Every person sitting in an airplane seat in front of me will lean his/her seat ALL the way back this season.
Only on that last one am I entirely, positively sure about.
Before I go, a word of condolence to the family of Dave Fay, the longtime Washington Capitals beat writer who passed away last night after a long battle with cancer.
I remember as a rookie hockey reporter in 1995, covering the Stanley Cup Finals between Detroit and New Jersey, on the first road trip of my life, and Dave being one of the first reporters to welcome me to the hockey fraternity.
He was the kind of reporter I loved: hard-nosed as hell, always questioning authority, never swallowing the company line. He was gruff as a horned frog on the outside, but a very nice man on the inside.
We all miss him terribly already in the small world of hockey scribes.
Rest in peace, Dave.

Here's a question for ya: what is the perfect karaoke song?
Wait, don't answer yet. Because I'm not asking for titles, the "Brown Eyed Girls"s and the "I Will Survive"s. I am asking about qualities. What are the characteristics of the perfect karaoke song?
This has been on my mind recently, as I have found myself in no less than two karaoke establishments this month. The first was the newly opened Rockbox on Capitol Hill, which features private "Japanese-Style" rooms. Highly recommended if you are willing to fork over a small fortune for the luxury of moaning "Girlfriend in a Coma" to a cadre of your closest friends. (That's a sincere endorsement by the way–loved this place, despite the expense.)
Then, a week later, I found myself in the Baranof. The Baranof is the kind of joint where your table receives complementary jello shots if the bartender discovers that you are celebrating a 40th birthday, and the waitress will sort of creepily massage the shoulders of the birthday boy while he chokes his down (don't ask me how I know this). The Baranof also had a nautical theme, which fit in well with a karaoke system that made everyone sound submerged.
So anyway, I am clearly qualified to opine on this question. And after careful analysis of the songs I think work well at karaoke, conducted this morning between my second and third cup of coffee, here are what I believe to be the attributes of crowdpleaser:
Short: Brevity is not only the soul of wit, it is essential to not being remembered as "the guy who sang 'American Pie' for an hour and a half". I think four minutes is about the maximum before you start to wear out your welcome. That excludes "Bohemian Rhapsody", FYI.
Not too obscure …: Unless there's a specific person in the crowd that you are trying to impress with Neutral Milk Hotel's "Snow Song Pt. 1", save it for the shower. If the audience wanted to feel dumb about their lack of musical diversity, they would be in a hipster bar instead of a karaoke bar.
… but not quite a standard: The ideal selection is one that makes people excitedly exclaim, "oh yeah this song!". And that ain't gonna happen with "Sweet Caroline" (a song I have personally heard wafting out of more karaoke bars than radios). I recently had great success with Dobie Gray's Drift Away, a song that eveyone in the crowd knew but had forgotten. A friend of mine gets a similar reaction with Blister in the Sun.
Wall-to-wall vocals: Beware the "36 measure instrumental"! Unless you can bust a passable move during the guitar solo, try to find a song that doesn't contain vast swaths of downtime for the singer. My recent experimentation with "Jessie's Girl" will not be replicated, as much of my performance involved lallygagging on stage with nothing to do. Especially dangerous are those songs with an interminable outro. You will spend the last minute of "Burning Down the House" agonizing over whether to sit down or just stand there like a chump.
Distinctive: Pick something that you can do well and most cannot. "It's The End of the World As We Know It" is one of my staples, because it can only be performed by someone who has memorized the lyrics (as I have). My ability to pronounce (though not, alas, understand) Spanish is an asset for "La Bamba". And even though my delivery of Radiohead's "Creep" is shaky overall, I have the long, wailing, "Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!" part down pat.
In your range (even if not of your gender): "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" is exactly in my range (and, like "Creep", has a memorable belt-out-the-sustained-note bit at the end), which is why I will pick Pat Benatar over the male-but-way-too-high Steve Perry any day. A female friend of mine, meanwhile, does an amazing Bon Jovi. Do not assume that you can automatically sing tracks by artists of your sex, and must forego those of the other persuasion. Which brings us to …
Requires as little falsetto as possible: Your falsetto does not sound even remotely as good in the real world as it does in your head. Someone explained this to me after I attempted "Take on Me". Learn from my mistake, guys.
Is not Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing": Just … yeah, no. It's awkward.
What am I forgetting?
Update! Two from the comments, to make this an even 10:
Is appropriate for the venue: So says Laura. "For instance, I might consider performing Reba McEntire's 'Fancy' at a place like Changes. I would NOT perform the same song… um… anywhere else."
Doesn't have a chorus that repeats ad nauseam: While I agree with latenac in principle, it's always fun to watch the panic creep into a singer's eyes as he urges the crowd to "Take it to the limit, one more time" for what is in fact the seventh time (and with no end in sight).
This one also rules out Daft Punk's Around the World, which is a shame.

The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library Board voted 5-3 to restrict access to four books with sexual themes.
The vote came just after 6:30pm Thursday and followed more than two hours of testimony and discussion. The board then continued discussion on what exactly would be the best way to go about restricting access. They ultimately decided to let staff decide the best way to go about it.
The vote stemmed by a request by Kim Borchers and her group "Kansans for Common Sense" to place four books behind the library counter. She did not request they be banned, but did ask access by minors be restricted.
The books were "The Joy of Sex," "The Joy of Gay Sex," "The Lesbian Kama Sutra," and "Sex for Busy People."
Board members in the majority, including Terry Kimes, Jim Rankin, Suzanne Robb and Dan Guenther attend church with Borchers. Kimes and Rankin denied on Thursday there is any conflict of interest involved. Robb and Guenther did not comment.
Board Chair Kerry Storey said it was the most disappointing moment in her 25-year association with the library. She said she did not choose the board members. Her fear is the library could go from being a source of pride for the community could become an embarrassment.
The board will decide whether to put the books on the top shelf, put them behind the counter or do something else with them at next month's meeting.
The three-pronged statute to determine if something is harmful to minors is as follows:
1. The average adult person applying contemporary community standards would find that the material or performance has a predominant tendency to appeal to a prurient interest in sex to minors.
2. The average adult person applying contemporary community standards would find that the material or performance depicts or describes nudity, sexual conduct, sexual enticement or sadomasochistic abuse in a manner that is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community with respect to what is suitable to minors.
3. A reasonable person would find that the material or performance lacks serious literary, scientific, educational, artistic or political value for minors.

What Is a Gastroenteritis Diet?
A gastroenteritis diet includes the kinds of foods you should eat or give to a person who has gastroenteritis . The symptoms of gastroenteritis usually last 1-2 days. However, they can last up to 10 days. Symptoms include:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal cramps
- Fever
- Muscle aches
- Headache
Why Should I Eat a Gastroenteritis Diet?
This diet can help you feel more comfortable and prevent dehydration . In the past, gastroenteritis diets have included withholding food for 24 hours and the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast). However, some organizations do not advise withholding food or the BRAT diet.
If you or your child has gastroenteritis, choose a diet that is nutritious and prevents dehydration. For most people of all ages, that diet is your normal food intake, perhaps modified slightly by limiting sugars and fatty or spicy foods.
The following information will help you make good dietary choices for yourself or your child with gastroenteritis.
Gastroenteritis Eating Guide
The goal of a gastroenteritis diet is to prevent dehydration. It is also important to maintain a proper balance of electrolytes. Electrolytes, like sodium and potassium, are minerals your body needs to work properly. Vomiting and diarrhea can take too many electrolytes out of your body. Choose foods that will help you to rehydrate, regulate the balance of electrolytes in your body, and maintain nutrition.
- Bananas
- Brown rice
- Chicken or other lean meats
- Whole grains
- Potatoes
- Applesauce (unsweetened and in moderation)
- Vegetables
- Oral rehydration solutions (ORS)
- Caffeine
- Fatty foods
- Spicy foods or highly seasoned foods
- Sugary foods (especially soft drinks or fruit juices)
- Citrus fruits
- Caffeine
- Fatty foods
- Spicy foods or highly seasoned foods
- Sugary foods
- Carbonated beverages
- Juices and juice drinks (All juices are high in sugar. They should generally be avoided or consumed in moderation if your child has gastroenteritis.)
- Gelatin
- Sports drinks
- Citrus fruits
You should also avoid alcohol and smoking .
Special Guidelines for Infants
Gastroenteritis is a common cause of diarrhea in infants. Follow these steps to prevent and treat dehydration in your infant:
- If your infant is breastfed, continuing breastfeeding often. You may want to try breastfeeding more often for shorter periods of time.
- If your infant is formula-fed, offer small amounts of formula often. Having more frequent, smaller feedings may help to reduce vomiting. Be sure your infant is receiving at least as much fluid and nutrition as usual. Extra feeding will almost certainly be necessary to avoid dehydration. Be sure to consult the doctor, nurse, or an emergency room if your infant seems ill or is not getting enough nutrition.
- Do not dilute formula. This can prolong your infant's illness and will not supply proper nutrition. Do not feed an infant salty foods or drinks during an episode of gastroenteritis. These can lead to a particularly dangerous form of dehydration under certain circumstances.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises giving an oral rehydration solution (ORS) at the start of diarrhea. It is important to continue regular feedings of breast milk or formula along with this therapy. After dehydration has been corrected, the doctor may have you return to normal breast or formula feedings. Dehydration can be serious. Get medical care right away if your child is not tolerating the feedings or the rehydration solution.
Special Guidelines for Children
As much as possible during and after an episode of gastroenteritis, your child should eat normally to maintain nutrition. After symptoms improve, your child may need extra calories to make up for losses during the illness. If your child has gastroenteritis, follow these steps:
- Give small amounts of fluid frequently.
- Avoid sugary drinks, like fruit juices, fruit drinks, soft drinks, or sports drinks.
- Offer your child the foods they normally eats. Avoid foods that may upset their stomach or make symptoms worse.
- Smaller, more frequent meals may be helpful.
- Give an ORS to your child if the doctor advises it. Remember that these solutions do not cure diarrhea. They also do not cut down on the length of time children are sick with diarrhea. But, giving an ORS may help to prevent dehydration.
For infants and children:
- Do not withhold food.
- Do not dilute (water down) food or formula.
Special Guidelines for Adults
For adults with gastroenteritis, these steps can help you feel better and prevent dehydration:
- If you are vomiting, let your stomach settle before eating.
Suck on ice chips or take small sips of water. Drinking a large amount of liquid at once can make vomiting worse. You can also try drinking:
- Sports drinks if you do not have a condition like diabetes that requires limiting your intake of simple sugars. You should consider diluting it with water to reduce the sugar and salt intake.
- Clear broth if you do not need to limit your salt intake. If you need to limit your salt intake, no sodium or low sodium broth is available.
- Ease into eating. When you are no longer vomiting, slowly return to your normal diet. Gradually move to a soft diet before moving on to solid foods. This will help to shorten the amount of time you spend having diarrhea. You could try with easy-to-digest, bland foods. You might also try eating small meals throughout the day.
