  1. link espn picked up the meyer to ohio state item from brooks, giving no credit, of source. brooks published Urban Meyer Story. SI links to it. ESPN has Urban Meyer comment, then runs same story but won't mention Brooks.
  2. penn state is exempt from the penn. state open public records law. link
  3. it used to be merely gross, exploitative, and financial--now it's criminal and sinister to who knows what depths. it just may be time to do a little more work on my record collection.
  4. wherever the urb goes, he will take his record number of player arrests along--it was 50ish, as i recall at fla. it sure looks like the bucks are just bursting to get more probation.
  5. http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/meyer-agrees-to-coach-buckeyes-building-staff-29902 Meyer Agrees To Coach Buckeyes, Building Staff Posted by Brooks on Nov. 18, 2011, 8:07pm Multiple sources close to the Ohio State football program have confirmed that Urban Meyer is assembling a coaching staff after agreeing to become the next head football coach at Ohio State. (9/3/2011: Meyer & Ohio St. Athletic Director Gene Smith at Ohio Stadium) The deal between Meyer and Ohio State was consumated in principle earlier this week in Columbus but not signed. It includes a multi-year contract that will make Meyer once again one of college football’s highest paid coaches. In additon to Meyer’s generous compensation package, sources said a major factor in the coach’s decision to agree to take the position was the school promising him the budget to assemble what is expected to become the highest-paid assistant coaching staff in college football history. Of that staff, sources indicate Meyer’s intial plan is to retain current Ohio State head football coach Luke Fickell and current Buckeye wide receivers coach Stan Drayton. Meyer also aims to add Chris Spielman, Kirk Herbstreit, current North Carolina State linebackers coach Jon Tenuta and current LSU offensive line coach Greg Studwara to his Ohio State staff. Studwara was offensive line coach for Bowling Green when Meyer was the head coach of the Falcons in 2001 and 2002. One source indicated Studwara is being considered by Meyer as possible offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes. Meyer was one of two candidates Ohio State contacted during its hiring process. Jon Gruden was also approached by the school, but declined interest. Photo credit: The-Ozone.net.

  7. Occupy Best Buy? when attending one of these 'festivals' a year or so ago at uncle wally(waiting for some rare jazz reissues for which there is herdly passion), word spread that police had been called to intervene in firearmladen 'discussions' at the next door bestbuy.
  8. http://www.newser.com/story/133650/florida-woman-gets-in-line-at-best-buy-9-daysbefore-black-friday.html (NEWSER) – Sure, Black Friday isn't for another week, but it's tough to resist the siren call of cheap TVs... A Florida woman and three other families pitched tents in front of a Best Buy in St. Petersburg on Wednesday—yep, 9 days before the big day—and the eager shopper sounds not unlike an ad for the superstore: "You can't beat some of the deals they have on plasmas, flat screens, and laptops. You get to buy it in large quantities,” Christine Orta tells the local NBC affiliate. "We're all students; you've got to pinch a penny; it's affordable right now." But, the Consumerist wonders, how much is she paying to live there for nine days? (Here's the big question: Would you get in line now forthese "insane" deals?)

  11. It's all too sordid for me. I haven't read any of the reports because the whole concept is disturbing. As a result, I'm out of the loop, but I think that's better for me than to read the stuff. I'm reminded of how all the sports websites had videos of Dan Wheldon's death two weeks ago. I love to see the wrecks when I know that no one is injured, but when someone is injured or killed, I want no part of that. a victim comes forward http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2011/11/17/male_survivor_of_sexual_abuse.aspx
  12. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektro Elektro is the nickname of a robot built by the Pittsburgh-based Westinghouse Electric Corporation in its Mansfield, Ohio facility between 1937 and 1938. Seven feet tall, weighing 265 pounds, humanoid in appearance, he could walk by voice command, speak about 700 words (using a 78-rpm record player), smoke cigarettes, blow up balloons, and move his head and arms. Elektro's body consisted of a steel gear, cam and motor skeleton covered by an aluminum skin. His photoelectric "eyes" could distinguish red and green light. He was on exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair and reappeared at that fair in 1940, with "Sparko", a robot dog that could bark, sit, and beg. Elektro toured North America in 1950 in promotional appearances for Westinghouse, and was displayed at Pacific Ocean Park in Venice, California in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He also appeared as "Thinko", in Sex Kittens Go to College (1960), which starred Mamie Van Doren andTuesday Weld. In the 1960s, his head was given to a retiring Westinghouse engineer and his body was sold for scrap.[citation needed] In 1992, the dance band Meat Beat Manifesto produced the song "Original Control (Version 2)" which prominently featured snippets of Elektro's monologues, quoting lines such as "I am Elektro" and "My brain is bigger than yours". Elektro survived the scrap pile and is being restored by Jack Weeks. It is currently the property of the Mansfield Memorial Museum.

  15. denny zeitlin Wednesday, 16 November 2011Jazz Therapy: Denny Zeitlin at The KitanoWritten by Andrea Canter, Contributing Editor Wednesday, 16 November 2011 Denny Zeitlin©Andrea Canter "Zeitlin unfurls some of the most intriguing, idiosyncratic jazz piano to be heard these days…he plays with a degree of freedom and musical curiosity one doesn't regularly encounter…Zeitlin sounds like no one else in the world but Zeitlin." -- Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune Dubbed by Leonard Feather as "the most versatile young pianist to come to prominence in the early 1960's," Denny Zeitlin is known today as "the jazz world's most visible Renaissance man" (LA Times). In addition to his career as a jazz performer, composer, and improviser, Zeitlin is a practicing psychiatrist in the San Francisco Bay area. And if one considers music therapeutic, then the jazz patrons in New York are in for a significant boost to their mental health this weekend when Zeitlin holds office hours at The Kitano in Manhattan, first in solo performance (November 18), followed by a trio evening with long-time cohorts Buster Williams and Matt Wilson (November 19). Born in Chicago in 1938, Denny Zeitlin began playing piano as a toddler, initially studying classical music and discovering jazz in high school as a natural extension of his interests in composition and improvisation. Soon he was playing professionally in the Chicago area, where he had opportunities to sit in with Joe Farrell, Wes Montgomery, and Ira Sullivan. Meanwhile, throughout high school and college, he studied music theory and composition with Alexander Tcherepnin, Robert Muczynski, and George Russell. He graduated from the University of Illinois in 1960 and then earned his M.D. from Johns Hopkins in 1964. After several highly acclaimed recordings for Concord, Zeitlin focused his musical efforts on fusing jazz, electronics, classical, and rock through the 1970s, leading to a number of recordings and the symphonic score for The Invasion of the Body Snatchers in 1978. Refocusing on acoustic music, Zeitlin turned again to solo piano work and other projects, including composing for Sesame Street; appearing on network TV (the Tonight Show and CBS Sunday Morning); touring throughout the world at colleges, clubs, and major festivals; and performing with such jazz luminaries as Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Tony Williams, Marian McPartland, Charlie Haden, the Kronos Quartet, and Paul Winter. Buster Williams©Andrea CanterMeanwhile, Zeitlin also established a private psychiatric practice in San Francisco and Marin County, and teaches at the University of California. Merging his background in music and psychiatry, Zeitlin has developed a lecture-demonstration, "Unlocking the Creative Impulse: The Psychology of Improvisation," which has been well received in the U.S. and Europe. Wrote Jules Epstein, "[his] technical skills are abetted by his psychiatrist's understanding of spontaneity as a key to analysis—like the technique of 'free association,' Zeitlin approaches melody as a line to be coveted, addressed and focused on, but also as a point of departure. His particular skill is in departing without losing sight of the original thought." High Fidelity noted, "He can rip the keyboard apart or coax the most delicate nuances from it with a virtuoso's assurance. And it is done not as showmanship, but as a means to a distinctly creative end." Denny Zeitlin has released over 30 recordings, primarily in solo and trio formats. His most recent release (Labyrinth,Sunnyside 2011), recorded live, has prompted wide acclaim as "an intimate affair brimming with verve, lyricism and improvisation" (Doug Simpson, Audiophile Audition) and "his most mesmerizing solo record to date" (Raul D'Gama Rose, AllAboutJazz.com). On Saturday night at The Kitano (November 19), Zeitlin teams up with his usual trio mates, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Matt Wilson. Among the busiest and most prolific of modern bassists, Buster Williams has always been more than a sideman, from his early days with Jimmy Heath, Gene Ammons, and Sonny Stitt (all before age 20), to his alliance with such vocalists as Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, and Betty Carter, to his work on projects as diverse as the Jazz Crusaders, Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi Band, Sphere with T.S. Monk and the Four Generations of Miles quartet. In addition to his numerous supporting roles, Williams has also shone as a frequently-recorded leader and composer, most notably with his Something More quartet. The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes his "impeccable harmony" and a "rhythmic sense that is unfailing, feeling, and utterly original." His performances are always marked by his elegant and melodic lines, his ability to dazzle without calling attention to the effort. Matt Wilson©Andrea CanterOne of the most in-demand, creative drummers of his generation, Matt Wilson has a wide range of musical tastes and experiences. He was first attracted to the drums after watching Buddy Rich on "I Love Lucy." Following his childhood in rural Illinois and college days in Wichita, Wilson landed in Boston, playing with the Either/Orchestra, Charlie Kohlhase, and John Medeski. Moving to New York, he formed his own quartet and joined forces with such talents as Dewey Redman, Janis Siegal, Cecil McBee, Leni Stern, Fred Hersch, Michael Brecker, Ravi Coltrane, Lee Konitz, and Joanne Brackeen, and has appeared on dozens of recordings as leader and sideman. In addition to the Denny Zeitlin Trio, Wilson has recently toured with Trio M (Myra Melford and Mark Dresser), Ted Nash, Frank Kimbrough, Deana DeRose and Charlie Haden's Liberation Orchestra. He formed the Matt Wilson Quartet in 1996; in 2002 he founded his other touring band, Arts and Crafts. A membef of New York's Jazz Composers Collective, he also continues to lead his Carl Sandburg Project and provides workshops and clinics throughout the world. For a cover charge that runs less than 25% of the usual fee for an hour of therapy, you won't find better sessions with a psychiatrist! Catch Dr. Zeitlin, alone and with his remarkable trio, this weekend at The Kitano. The Kitano Jazz Room is located within the Kitano Hotel at 66 Park Av (at East 38th Street). Sets at 8 and 10 pm, $25 cover, $15 minimum per set (full bar and light American and Japanese menu). Reservations recommended at 212-885-7119; www.thekitano.com

  17. i'm thinking of trying a creamed and aged rare vinyl sandwich. i wouldn't know what to call it, though. some of those emi pressings from the 70s were pretty cheesy at that.
  18. dan bernstein column By Dan Bernstein- CBSChicago.com Senior Columnist (CBS) I couldn't look at Robbie Gould or Anthony Adams without thinking about what occurred at their alma mater. Sorry. I want to care only that the Bears dismantled and humiliated Detroit, ran their record to 6-3, and established themselves as something more than a fringe postseason contender. I want to freely celebrate Devin Hester's magic, the resurgent defensive backfield, the relentless Julius Peppers, and some old-fashioned bad blood. But I have been seeing football more through a cloud of anger, revulsion and sadness. It's not that I'm choosing to be so mindful of the events of the past week – believe me, there's something to be said for the real value of escapism. It's that I simply cannot entirely escape, yet, as the game's images keep morphing back into something sinister. I can't watch coaches coach without wondering what else they do. I can't hear messages about charity efforts without thinking awful, truly unfair things. I see throngs of cheering fans and think more about the game's vast power over simple minds, how it is used to build great myths and shroud terrible truths. Even the usual, gung-ho military imagery reminds me that I'd prefer to see some ferocious-looking helicopters hovering over State College, disgorging black-clad rappellers to seize computers and drag conspirators away to places that don't exist. For More Bears Coverage: Bernstein: Trying To Enjoy Bears Amid PSU Anger Shepkowski: Good, Bad and Ugly Of Bears-Lions Hoge: Stafford's Frustration Boils Over As Bears Dominate Gallery: Bears 37, Lions 13 If you can shake the image of the tone-deaf cultists genuflecting at the Joe Paterno statue Saturday, I'm envious, as an icon that would be better defaced and toppled was instead worshipped. These were not drunken, leaderless student rioters, but grown adults who should know better. If you could listen to those chilling, bizarre chants of "We are Penn State!" and not seethe as they sound to you more like "We support the decades-long conspiracy to aid, abet and conceal the rape and molestation of children!", then you are stronger than I. Saturday gave us uncomfortable mixed messages about the importance of football in our lives – "healing" through ignorance and distraction, praying en masse after the fact to some god who was apparently powerless for years in the face of evil, displays of support for bad people for bad reasons, and the apparent belief that redemption could come via scoreboard. That was all still echoing during the Bears game. While I tried to keep my internal tuner from slipping, I guess my compartmentalization skills need work. (It didn't help my efforts that Deadspin broke a story during the game that the judge that set Jerry Sandusky's $100,000 unsecured bail is a Second Mile volunteer. Prosecutors had asked for $500,000 and a required leg-monitor.) We will do our thing and cover the Bears' snap-back to quality, enjoying the season's most satisfying win to date and ratcheting up expectations, while still dealing with the burgeoning hideousness in Happy Valley. And there will be more news this week of civil suits in the works, more victims coming forward, and the possible involvement of the FBI and other agencies. All roads will lead back to a primitive town, in a state where the unfortunate influence of a game has made its citizens something less than human. The lens through which I view football is glowing red hot right now. It will stop, soon. As the regular routine returns, the wrath dissipates into something heavy and grim, but bearable. At least I hope so. Dan Bernstein has been the co-host of "Boers and Bernstein" since 1999. He joined the station as a reporter/anchor in 1995.
