The Beautiful Brain explores the latest findings from the ever-growing field of neuroscience through monthly long-form essays, reviews, galleries, short-form blog posts and more, with particular attention to the dialogue between the arts and sciences.
The New York Times article, “Neuropolitics, Where Campaigns Try to Read Your Mind” is a perfect example of the popular fascination with superficial brain research. “Consumer neuroscience,” as the field is at least honestly called, aims to apply neuroscience methodologies in order to help companies sell products and people communicate their messages. The article talks about embattled Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto, among other politicians, who have employed consultants to this effect. “We warned well in advance of the high rejection level towards the three main Mexican parties,” Dr. Jaime Romano Micha, of the firm Neuropolitika, said. “Through our neuronal studies, we saw how voter sympathy levels, approach/withdraw and voting intention variables were shifting.” This could be a bad translation, but, as even the New York Times, notoriously seducible by imaging results, will note, “the phenomenon probably would not have required a scientist to point out.”

College Trust Fund to Replace Car That Girl on Welfare Can’t Accept
A college trust fund will replace the new car an 11-year-old Vietnamese refugee girl won for her Statue of Liberty essay but could not accept because her family is on welfare, contest sponsors said Friday.
The Nissan Sentra sedan will be auctioned, according to Reginald Schwenke, president of the Aloha Liberty Foundation, and proceeds will go to a college trust fund for the sixth-grader.
Schwenke said a retired businessman has offered to buy Hue Cao’s family another car for $1,499, just under the limit allowed for welfare recipients. The foundation was trying to find a suitable car, he said.
The White House “pulled every string possible” to allow the girl to keep the car prize but could not find a way to do it, Schwenke said. President Reagan, in a telephone call to the girl Thursday, praised her love of liberty.
Cao, who fled Vietnam with her family in a small boat in 1979, wrote an essay that was chosen in the statewide contest as the best among 2,000 submitted by students in grades 3 through 12.
“We wanted to live in America, a land where there is liberty and justice,” she wrote. “Every time we saw a picture of the Statue of Liberty, my mother would tell us that she is America.”
Cao had to give up the car she won because it would have made her family ineligible for benefits under federal regulations that limit the assets of welfare families.
She also won a free trip to New York for the Fourth of July Statue of Liberty centennial festivities.

American Idol winner David Cook will be releasing his first album this month and is playing his music to crowds of fans, but hesays that his life isn’t too different than it was before winning American Idol.
On November 1, American Idol Season 7 winner David Cook will appear as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. David Cook’s appearance will mark the earliest appearance post win/finale for any Idol who has appeared on the show.
American Idol winner, David Cook’s album release date has been set and it is just in time for the Christmas rush. The album will be released on Tuesday, November 18, 2008.
The Mercedes-Benz Summer Concert Series on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is returning. The Summer Concert Series will include a couple of performers with ties to reality television.
During the American Idol competition, an album by David Cook called “Analog Heart” surfaced on Amazon.com. When asked about his Analog Heart album, David Cook explained, “Analog Heart actually got released independently in May of ’06. I spent a good year just playing out and promoting that record as much as I could. So it got sold and a lot of people, thank God, bought the record. I think I ended up close to selling out like right before I came out. Then about midway through the season, I had to have the record pulled obviously for fairness issues in the show.”
In regards to the album showing up on Amazon.com, David Cook said, “I got it pulled offline and then somebody – I have no idea who – reposted it on Amazon. So while all that was going on, I was kind of at a loss. I had talked to Amazon about getting it pulled and there’s a bunch of mass confusion about it. I’m extremely appreciative of how well it did. I thought that was amazing that it went number one. Yes, I was certainly just kind of a pawn in that whole game.”
When asked about the release date and genre of his first post-American Idol album, David Cook said, “Well, the ideal release date is as soon as possible if you’re asking me, but obviously these things take time. As far as the type of record, it’ll probably be a rock record, but I think that’s a pretty vague generalization. I just want to make a record that’s going to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.”
Even though David Cook received much praise for his cover songs on American Idol, fans will be able to look forward to originals on his album. David Cook explained, “I just want to put out a record that’s going to be able to stand up on its own long after I’m gone and if I can do that, then I’m set. The covers were great, but I’m ready to get back into the creative process of writing songs and basically kind of baring my soul on these records, so I look forward to it.”
When asked if he might put an Andrew Lloyd Webber-ish type song on his album, David Cook replied, “Well I don’t see myself putting out a record of standards or anything like that. You know, for me I’ll probably end up putting out a rock record just because I feel like that’s the kind of music that I enjoy playing. You know, that was the exciting thing to me about the show. I loved knowing that there were things that I could do that people would never expect that I could do. You know, Andrew Lloyd Webber night was fun for me. I loved the fact that everybody was like, ‘What?’ I’m going to try to recreate that energy within this record. I want this record to have some twists and turns. I want people to feel like they got taken on a trip from beginning to end. I got my work cut out for me. It should be a lot of fun.”
When asked how it felt to so popular on YouTube and iTunes, David Cook said, “Well you know, it doesn’t feel bad. I can’t believe the level of support that has come out of my doing this crazy TV show. All I can do is try to embrace it and make all the effort people are putting in to supporting me worthwhile and that’s going to start with a record and hopefully moving down the road a tour and a lot of success, so the sky’s the limit right now.”

American Idol just wouldn’t be American Idol without viewers talking about various conspiracy theories. Shocking eliminations, judges giving feedback on songs that haven’t been sung, and surprise winners have helped to fuel the fire of American Idol conspiracy theories.
Even though the American Idol judges seemed to be anointing David Archuleta as the winner during the American Idol 7 final performance show, it was David Cook who wound up the surprise winner in a landslide. Some fans have speculated that Simon Cowell was rough on David Cook, because he intentionally wanted to created a backlash that would drive more votes to David Cook. This conspiracy theory has been fueled by the fact that Simon Cowell winked at David Cook after criticizing him for making the wrong song choice on the finale.
When asked if Simon Cowell’s criticism helped push his fans to vote more, David Cook said, “Wow. That’s not a bad theory. I don’t know. You know, all I can hope is that it was based on my own merit. Regardless, I’m happy where I’m at. Simon’s blunt and he’s honest and that’s why they pay him the money that they pay him. The goal of the season for me was just to try to find some constructive criticism on what he was saying, which sometimes was a little tough, but that’s part of the show.”
Another popular American Idol conspiracy theory is that some contestants intentionally throw the competition because they are afraid they will be forced into putting out a pop album if they are the winner. When asked about the theory that it might be better not to win in order to keep rocker credibility, David Cook said, “Well, I mean obviously the theory’s there. Did it cross my mind at any point in the competition? I mean, sure, but only as an objective point. I think going into this with an idea that you don’t want to win I think is a huge slap in the face to the 103,000 people that auditioned this season that really wanted to win, so I definitely went into this to try to win it.”
David Cook continued, “As far as having more success by not being a winner, I think that’s something that’ll get played out hopefully in the next couple of years. I think Daughtry’s success is amazing. So for me like right now I’m not trying to be Daughtry. You know, I’m just trying to put out a solid record. Even if it doesn’t do well commercially, as long as I can say that I put out a record that I’m proud of, that’s the goal right now and hopefully if I can do that, then success will follow.”
After winning American Idol 7, David Cook broke down into tears. While the tears obviously looked like tears of happiness, some fans speculated that David Cook was upset about winning. In regards to the tears, David Cook explained, “Everybody talks about how towards the end I started crying a lot. Well, you know there was just a lot of intensity into the last few weeks as far as just what was at stake and all the work that had been put into it. I said in a lot of interviews yesterday the crying after I won was like an exhale. This whole experience has been about eight months, including auditions. I felt like that whole time I was just holding my breath. So to be able to breathe and to enjoy the moment was amazing.”
Why does David Cook think he won American Idol by 12 million votes? In the end, David Cook said, “You know, I think that number is actually really misleading. Obviously within the bubble of Idol, it’s hard to kind of get a vibe on what’s going on. I thought Archie was probably a little bit ahead of me if I’m being honest. I think as far as the finale goes, there’s a lot of conspiracy theories out there. I attribute the finale vote discrepancy just to my fans just being awesome. I don’t really know how else to explain it. You know, my hats off to Archie for the whole scenario. I mean, he handled himself with a lot of grace. More importantly, he’s just an amazing human being, so I was just honored to share the stage with him.”

Even though the American Idol judges called the competition for David Archuleta during the finale performance show, it was David Cook who came out on top on American Idol 7. However, some fans on the American Idol message boards are already speculating that David Cook didn’t really want to win American Idol.
After Ryan Seacrest announced that David Cook was the winner of American Idol 2008, David Cook closed his eyes and leaned his head back. Some viewers took David Cook’s expression to look like he was thinking, “Oh no, I actually won this thing.” As David Cook hugged fellow finalist David Archuleta, his face showed no excitement over winning the competition. Was David Cook just showing respect for David Archuleta’s feelings or was he not happy about winning?
As Ryan Seacrest continued to talk, David Cook covered his face with his hands and wiped away tears. While most fans have interpreted those tears as tears of overwhelming joy, there are some fans who think they were tears of disappointment over winning. When David Cook’s brother joined him on stage, David Cook said, “This is all your fault. This is his fault.” Was David Cook joking or was he really blaming his brother for getting him involved in the show’s auditions?
In the past, it has often been suggested by fans that sometimes it’s better not to win American Idol, because the winners are thought to have less say in the type of CD that they initially put out. The example of Chris Daughtry’s success is often used to highlight the advantages of not winning American Idol. However, Carrie Underwood’s success can just as easily be pointed to as proof that winning American Idol is not a curse.

On the American Idol 7 season finale results show, Ryan Seacrest announced that ninety-seven and a half million votes came in for the two finalists. Seacrest also added that one David received 56% of the vote, and the other David received 44% of the vote. In Kansas City, Missouri, Mikalah Gordon led a hometown celebration for David Cook. In Salt Lake City, Utah, Matt Rogers led a hometown celebration for David Archuleta.
For the first musical performance, the American Idol top twelve finalists performed “Get Ready.” After the top twelve performed, David Cook and David Archuleta sang a duet of “Hero.” In a video segment promoting Mike Myers’ new movie The Love Guru, the American Idol final two met with Guru Pitka.
After the Love Guru movie promo, Syesha Mercado and Seal sang a duet of “Waiting For You.” After the duet, Jason Castro performed “Hallelujah.” For the Ford music video, the American Idol finalists performed “Let The Good Times Roll.”
After the Ford music video, Ryan Seacrest presented the two Davids with keys to their own Ford Escape Hybrids. The American Idol top six female finalists performed hits of Donna Summers, and midway through Donna Summers herself joined in the performance.
After the Donna Summers’ performance, Carly Smithson and Michael Johns sang a duet of “The Letter.” In a comedy skit, Jimmy Kimmel said he valet parked outside and wanted to know how much he should tip Sanjaya. Kimmel also played a video of all the nasty things Simon Cowell had said this season placed to music. After Jimmy Kimmel’s segment, the American Idol top six male finalists performed hits of Bryan Adams, and midway through Bryan Adams himself joined the performance.
After the Bryan Adams’ performance, David Cook and ZZ Top performed “Sharp Dressed Man.” Brooke White and Graham Nash performed a duet of “Teach Your Children.” The Jonas Brothers performed their hit song “S.O.S.” After a video segment of some of the most unusual auditions, Renaldo Lapuz appeared live to sing “We Are Brothers Forever.”
After Renaldo Lapuz’s performance, One Republic and David Archuleta performed “Apologize.” American Idol 6 winner Jordin Sparks performed “One Step At A Time.” In a video segment, Gladys Knight and the Pips performed “Midnight Train To Georgia,” except the Pips were Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey, Jr. American Idol 4 winner Carrie Underwood performed her hit song “Last Night.”
After Carrie Underwood’s performance, the American Idol top twelve finalists performed songs of George Michael. At the end, George Michael appeared and sang “Praying For Time.”
After George Michael’s performance, David Cook and David Archuleta appeared on center stage to hear the results. Simon Cowell said, “For the first time ever, I really don’t care who wins. I’ve thought you’ve both done terrific.” Ryan Seacrest announced, “The winner by twelve million votes of American Idol 2008 is David Cook.” After hugging David Archuleta, David Cook was overcome with emotion and had to wipe away the tears. David Cook said, “I started this season much to Simon’s chagrin as the word nerd, and I am absolutely at a loss for words right now, thank you.” To close out the finale, David Cook sang “Time Of My Life.”

Back in early March when the American Idol 7 top twelve were first announced, I dubbed this season as “The Year Of The Davids.” I bestowed that title on season seven because half of the male finalists in the top twelve were named David. Now, that the final two have been revealed, “The Year Of The Davids” has proven to be a very appropriate title.
In the beginning, things weren’t looking too good for the Davids. The first finalist voted off the show was David Hernandez. However, the other two Davids proved to be more than capable of carrying the load. David Archuleta was a favorite right from the start, and David Cook quickly won over fans with his unique and lively performances.
Of course, both Davids had their struggles along the way. David Archuleta forgot the words to “We Can Work It Out,” and David Cook was accused of stealing the arrangements of some of his songs. However, Archuleta quickly bounced back, and Cook was vindicated by crediting the source of his arrangements.
The families of the two Davids also became a big part of the season. The press had a field day labeling David Archuleta’s dad as a stage dad, and David Cook’s brother, who is battling cancer, traveled to be in the audience while David performed.
Third place finisher Syesha Mercado had kind words to say about both of the Davids. After her elimination, Syesha said, “Well, of course, they’re unique. But David has that – David Archuleta has that beautiful smile, and he has that really, really good connection with kids, the younger audience. And David Cook has that connection with the younger audience. The girls go crazy over him. And the older audience too,really, really charming, like all the older women.”
So which David will ultimately emerge as the winner of American Idol 7? While both Davids will likely receive record deals, my prediction is that it’s finally going to be a rocker’s year to win on American Idol. Bo Bice, Constantine Maroulis, Chris Daughtry, Ryan Starr and Gina Glocksen paved the way, but it will be David Cook who finally wins an American Idol title for the rockers.

On the American Idol finale performance show, David Archuleta and David Cook will perform live at the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE. As the two Davids prepared for the final showdown, they offered up some quotes for the big night.
In regards to performing on the stage at the Nokia compared to singing on the American Idol stage, David Archuleta said, “I don’t think it’ll be too different because the audience is still going to be big on the other side of the camera, watching on TV, so while there’s more people live, I don’t know. I guess I’ll have to see once I go and rehearse and stuff.” David Cook said, “You know, it’s interesting. I’ve always been really kind of confused by the idea, like the smaller the crowd for me, the more nervous I tend to get. Having the Nokia full, should be great. But you know, win or lose; I think we both win, so for me now it’s just kind of enjoying the moment.”
In regards to getting advice from people, David Archuleta said, “Every single person always has something good to say, from Cook to the people helping us out, to family, to friends, to just people you meet and fanmail. People always have some good stuff to say.”
In regards to if his experience on Idol matched what he expected, David Cook said, “It’s busier than I thought it was going to be. And so for me, the learning process has just been kind of like watching the stuff that takes place that people never get to see. Just, more than anything, just kind of the relationships that form. I remember at the beginning of the season, I always wondered why we all cried when people went home, and it’s like, you know, some of these people we’ve known almost a year now, so it’s definitely been an experience though for sure.”
In regards to if being an American Idol finalist was anything like he thought it was going to be, David Archuleta said, “No it’s not because I didn’t even think I would be a finalist so that’s already the difference right there and then just how crazy and busy it is and I didn’t realize how tiring it is. I thought I’d have time to prepare for the finale and this is the week where we’ve gotten the least amount of time to really prepare and it’s like the most tiring on your voice but hopefully it will all pull together for tomorrow.”
In regards to if he is happy to just be in the Idol finals, David Cook said, “You know, to be where I was at before, now to be standing on the finale stage and have, a 50 percent chance of my name being called, is pretty heavy, you know. So for me, it’s just, either way, I’m content.”
The American Idol finale performance show airs on Tuesday, May 20 from 8 PM to 9:02 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed on FOX. The American Idol two-hour season finale results show airs on Wednesday, May 21 from 8 PM to 10 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed on FOX.

RED BLUFF – Co-chairman and announcer Tex Ash introduced more than 100 performers Friday during the 25th Western Open Fiddle Championships at the Tehama District Fairground.
Fiddle judges Sheri West, Willie Randel, Bobby Taylor, Ed Carnes and Danita Rast sat in a 12-foot wide motor home away from the players. They listened to the performers by a microphone connected to the stage so they could not see the fiddlers or be influenced by the indoor festivities.
Contestants played a hoe-down, a waltz and a tune of their choice, and the judges scored the fiddlers on how well each player kept the time of the music, played in tune and the tune’s “danceability.”
How much a tune makes someone want to dance is important because that is why fiddling came to be, judge ranger Yvonne Boring said. And indeed, there were couples dancing to the performances.
Jean Wittig of Juneau, Alaska, came to the event with her niece, who is one of the judges. Wittig said she is a musician, but doesn’t play the fiddle. However, she said she enjoyed listening to the music all day Friday and thinks it is incredible the players memorize the songs rather than read music.
“You have to spend time with the old-timers to learn the tunes,” she said.
Fiddling is a great hobby because it brings the young and old together, she said.
“It closes that gap so much,” she said. “My soft spot is the little ones.”
Players from 4-years-old to 82 entered the contest, and Wittig said the judges had chosen the same finalists she would have chosen.

Most nails have a few coats of Ninja Polish Festive Floam, which I originally waffled on getting but am now glad I did. The accent nail has Butter London Dodgy Barnett—yes, it’s actually a holo, but you can’t tell with all the other stuff going on. The tree is from the Bunny Nails HD set and is stamped in Konad Green. The way the ornaments are arrayed reminds me of a Dalek every time I look at it. And, of course, no tree is complete without an iridescent yellow plastic star glued on it.
Overall, this was fun but kind of more subdued than I had envisioned.

SYDNEY, Australia — A new bus service on Australia's east coast caters to backpackers. The Backpackers Express provides one-way travel between Sydney and Cairns with unlimited stops anywhere in between. The cost is about $105 U.S.
Using just two buses, the new service is a joint venture of nationwide Deluxe Coach Lines and Backpackers Headquarters, a company that has hostel-style accommodations in Sydney, Port Macquarie and Magnetic Island, as well as affiliated hostels along the east coast.
The two brightly painted buses, outfitted with movie and rock video viewing equipment, roam continuously up and down the 1,976-mile coastal route. The buses make short pub and swim stops, and passengers are dropped off or picked up at affiliated hostels.
Tickets are valid for six months. Because there are only two buses, when a stop is made it may be as many as five days before the next Backpackers Express arrives. So far, those who have wanted to move on sooner have been able to use their tickets on the regular Deluxe Coach Lines services, which cover this route several times each day. You should, however, reconfirm this at the time of purchase.
In Sydney, Backpackers Headquarters has five budget accommodation locations and one cruise boat. For further details, drop by its hostel at 79 Bayswater Road, Kings Cross.
Australia seems to be experiencing the kind of boom in backpacking that Europe and North America saw in the 1970s. A recent report on this segment of its tourism industry estimated that there are now as many as 60 backpacker accommodation properties in Sydney alone.
That's the good news. Unfortunately, there is also a down side to the number of businesses opening and offering services to budget travelers.
The same tourism report warns that 75% of the hostels in Kings Cross have been established in the past two years and that many are illegal. Court cases are pending to stop individual unlicensed hostels from operating, but because of their large number and the sluggishness of the court system, illegal hostels will continue to proliferate.
Unsuitable buildings turned into hostels have resulted in fires and deaths in both Sydney and Brisbane. It's essential that you check for fire alarms and an adequate number of exits when selecting a place to stay.
Two of the Sydney hostels, at 51 Hereford St. and 262 Glebe Road, affiliated with International Youth Hostel Federation, offer twin rooms for $14 per person a night. Each also offers four-share rooms for under $12 per person. A bus service known as Wonderbus picks up at the airport daily at 8:30 a.m. and provides transportation to these hostels for $4.
Other good bargains are available in Sydney, too. If, for example, you want to buy a cheap used car to travel around the country, you'll find that fellow travelers who are ready to sell their vehicles line them up along Victoria Street in the Kings Cross area.
Lots more than used cars are for sale on the streets of Kings Cross--you may find the area intimidating.
An interesting alternative for accommodations is to catch the harbor ferry for a $3, 30-minute ride to Manly Beach. Halfway along the beach, known for its good surfing, you'll find a tourist information office that can help you with several addresses for budget lodgings. Manly Lodge at 22 Victoria Parade offers clean, bright shared room facilities for $15 a night.
For $10 a day you can have unlimited use of Sydney's Explorer Bus services. The drivers offer a continuous commentary while circling the city. You can get on and off as often as you want. These buses make 20 stops and service is available every 16 minutes.
Try Sydney's new monorail. It's $2 per ride and it serves the Darling Harbour shopping and entertainment complex, where you'll also find Australia's largest museum complex, the Powerhouse Museum, which has free admission.
Head down to the historic "Rocks" area of the city, the site This is the site of Australia's first settlement. The visitor center at 104 George St. offers a free short film about the area plus maps for self-guided walking tours.
Before you leave Sydney, consider dropping into STA Travel (formally Student Travel Australia) at 9 Oxford St., Paddington, or call 360-1822. At any of its 39 locations throughout Australia you can pick up free copies of a pocket-size publication, "Backpackers Guide To Australia." It covers information on where to stay and other services for independent budget travelers.

Local Control and Accountability Plan/Learning Continuity Plan
The LCAP is a critical part of the new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) enacted in 2013–14. It replaced the previous K–12 finance system which had been in existence for roughly 40 years. The Learning Continuity Plan replaces the LCAP for the 2020-21 school year to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on California's school communities.
For school districts and charter schools, the LCFF establishes base, supplemental, and concentration grants in place of the myriad of previously existing K–12 funding streams. For county offices of education (COEs), the LCFF establishes separate funding streams for oversight activities and instructional programs.
More information on LCFF or LCAP can be obtained through:

Review: Somos, ‘First Day Back’
Written by Zac Djamoos Edited by Caitlin Kohn
It isn’t easy for a band to stick out making pop-punk music. The constraints for the genre are so narrow that to effectively challenge it (while staying firmly within it) is a nearly-impossible task. It is a task that Somos take on with their new record ‘First Day Back,’ and a task that they succeed in.
The band’s sophomore album takes the sonic palette that ‘Temple of Plenty’ built, and then expands upon it. While their debut drew a few complaints about a lack of diversity, I don’t think they’ll need to worry about that here, as they’ve created one of the more unique pop-punk albums in memory. “Slow Walk to the Graveyard Shift” opens the album with an echoey, ambient drone, there’s hints of ‘90s emo like Braid (intentional?) or Penfold all over closer “Lifted From the Current,” and a Death Cab-like indie rock vibe rears its head on “Bitter Medicine.” Staticky keyboards wash over the vocals of “You Won’t Stay” before it opens up a bit to become an electronic song with more in common with an arrange track than a Transit song – it’s by far the most unique song the band’s ever written, not to mention one of their best, and I’d be interested in hearing more like this from them. Even the more straightforward pop-punk songs feel different – it’s almost similar to what I imagine the result would be if Minus the Bear went the pop-punk route.
Nowhere is this clearer than in the combination of “Violent Decline” and “Thorn in the Side.” “Decline” has a mathy little intro that immediately brings a band like Minus the Bear to mind, and it serves as a good first track proper to the album. It’s a nice slice of all the album’s strengths, a mid-tempo, slightly more atmospheric take on pop-punk. It’s also got a great hook, but it’s surpassed in that department by “Thorn.” This song keeps up the vibe that “Decline” established, throwing some dream-pop influence into the mix during its chorus of “It should feel good/it does not.” While it does get a bit repetitive, it’s easy to look past that for a song as charming and infectious as this one.
“Days Here Are Long” is even dreamier, and dips its toes into the electronic stream “You Won’t Stay” dives into (there’s a fun tie between these songs too). With all this, I guess the point that I’m making is that ‘First Day Back’ creates a very specific, spacious atmosphere. It sounds and feels open – even consuming the amount of pop-punk music I do (an embarrassing amount), this one still feels unique within the genre for this reason. Part of that credit I assume must go to producer Jay Maas, who does a great job at helping the band capture that sound.
The songwriting itself however, deserves just as much praise. Whether they’re tackling a more mellow electronic sound, catchy pop-punk, or combining the two, it’s all great. Admittedly, at times, the lyrics tend to get repetitive, as in “Thorn,” and the songs are all pretty short, with the longest running less than three and a half full minutes. Together, these almost make some of the songs feel like interludes. Granted, they feel like very good interludes, but makes the album at times seem shorter than it is, which, at 27 minutes, is already pretty short. Even if this throws off the flow of the album a bit, it still doesn’t shake that dreamy vibe.
That vibe is what keeps me coming back. That’s what makes ‘First Day Back’ such a leap forward from ‘Temple of Plenty,’ which was a great pop-punk album, especially for a debut. ‘First Day Back’ is a great album. It’s proof that Somos isn’t afraid to experiment. It’s proof that when they experiment, the results are really, really good.
It’s also proof that Somos can create an album of the year contender.

In a statement released on Sunday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said the 15 companies have directly or indirectly collaborated with the Tel Aviv regime in committing its “savage crimes” in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The sanctions came two days after Washington imposed bans on nearly a dozen foreign companies or individuals for cooperating with the Islamic Republic.
The US sanctions targeted 11 companies or individuals from China, North Korea or the United Arab Emirates for transferring technology to Iran that it claimed could boost the country’s ballistic missile program.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said according to the country’s sanctions, any business activity with these 15 companies is forbidden and their assets within the jurisdiction of the Islamic Republic will be subject to freezing, and no visas will be issued to individuals holding positions in or associated with these corporations.
The statement also said Washington’s unilateral bans were imposed on Tehran “under fabricated pretexts,” slamming the restrictive measures as a violation of “international law” as well as the spirit and text of the July 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The ministry further underlined that Iran is resolved to develop its peaceful missile power as part of the nation’s “inalienable” right to enhance its deterrence and defense might in the face of threats.
Here is the list of the sanctioned US corporations:
-Beni Tal security company has collaborated with the Israeli military in the suppression of Palestinian people.
-United Technologies has sold Black Hawk military helicopters to the Israeli regime which have been used to bomb occupied territories and Palestinian refugee camps.
-Raytheon has supplied Israel with technologically advanced military weapons that have been used against Palestinian people during the Gaza war.
-ITT Corporation has provided the Israeli military with equipment it has used to stage nightly raids in Palestinian villages and refugee camps.
-Re/Max has been involved in illegal real estate transactions in Israeli settlements across occupied Palestinian territories.
-Oshkosh Corporation has been supplying the Israeli military with parts for armored vehicles used to restrain the Palestinian population.
-Magnum Research Inc. has collaborated with Israeli military industries in the manufacturing of firearms and military equipment.
– Kahr Arms has provided spare parts and developed light weapons used by the Israeli army in cooperation with the regime’s military industry.
– M7 Aerospace LP, purchased by US subsidiary of the Israeli military contractor Elbit Systems, has been active in the production and development of Israeli radar and missile systems.
– Military Armament Corporation has provided services and equipment linked to the weapons used by Israeli police.
– Lewis Machine and Tool Company has provided weapons spare parts and services to the Israeli military’s arms industry.
– Daniel Defense has provided the Israeli military’s arms industry with spare parts and services for weapons manufacturing.
– Bushmaster Firearms International has provided the Israeli military’s arms industry with spare parts and services for weapons manufacturing.
-O.F. Mossberg & Sons has supplied Israel with weapons, which are used by the regime’s military and police forces in the crackdown on Palestinian civilians.
-H-S Precision, Inc. has provided the Israeli regime with weapons manufacturing technology.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the list could expand to include more entities.


Katerina Paxinou: ‘I really love the city, the vibes it has, the architecture, the buildings… everything’
Groningen has about 186.000 inhabitants and 50.000 of them are University students. Katerina Paxinou is a twenty-four year old girl who has just moved to Groningen to do an internship at Hanze University. She fell in love with the city several years ago when she came to visit her sister, who was doing an Erasmus exchange, and she decided to come and live here for a semester.
Groningen has impressed her. She likes the vibes that the city has, the architecture and the buildings. Still, her first impression was the change of climate. Greece has a typically Mediterranean climate. In February, long rainy days are rare, most days it’s sunny. This is why the numerous windy, rainy days without sun of Groningen caught Katerina’s attention.
Another thing that has impressed her most is her university. ‘I really like it because is extremely big, all the buildings are pretty amazing and the different kind of architectures, laboratories… they have everything, I mean, they have a supermarket in there!’
What she likes most about the city is that there are always many things to do besides an incredible nightlife for those who want to have fun.
The hardest thing for Katerina was the house search in Groningen. Luckily she was able to find a room near the center, the park and her campus, although now she is happy in a student house where she can have intimacy and live her life without problems in coexistence with other students.
She loves going to the park for a walk, run or take her bike and discover new and amazing places.


RALEIGH, N.C. — The cold part of Hurricane Sandy that is causing problems along the East Coast could bring 1 foot or more of snow to the mountains of western North Carolina, potentially allowing the region's ski resorts to open weeks early.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the mountains of western North Carolina until 6 a.m. Wednesday.
Watauga County Emergency Management Director Steve Sudderth said Monday morning that a wet, heavy snow began falling in Boone but the ground was warm enough to keep it from sticking to the roads. Sudderth said the snow was primarily accumulating at elevations above 4,000 feet and that local residents are very used to dealing with such weather. Boone averages nearly 3 feet of snowfall each winter.
No power outages were reported and county students went to school on time.
"Life is good," Sudderth said.
Forecasters say an inch or more of snow could fall in the area early Monday. Up to 5 inches of snow was possible Monday night and up to 8 inches of snow was possible Tuesday in higher elevations.
Winds of 25 mph to 35 mph were expected to bring down power lines. Gusts of up to 65 mph are possible.
The early snowfall will be a boon for the area's ski resorts, which have sometimes struggled to keep their slopes open amid a warming climate.
Kim Jochl at Sugar Mountain said they had already received a couple inches of natural snow and that snow makers had been running since Sunday night.
The resort plans to open Wednesday for Halloween, the earliest Sugar has ever been able to open in more than 40 years of operation. Jochl said the earliest prior date the resort had opened for the season was Nov. 6, 1976.
"It's unprecedented," she said.

The general assembly of Euroleague started with the announcement of the renewal of Turkish Airlines sponsorship until 2020 and ended with the detailed discussion of the league’s economic future and progress.
As the league announced there was a “revenue growth last season that is due to increase by more than 8% in 2013-14 with the aforementioned new agreements, resulting in economic distributions to member clubs that will increase by an estimated 11.6%”. The revenues distributed last season to the 24 Euroleague teams was, according to league sources, approximately 19,5 million euros, so that means this season a total of almost 22 million euros will be shared between the 24 clubs.
Of course, big clubs have the lion’s share and that has to do with the television rights contract in every country. The teams keep 75% of the TV rights revenues and a 25% portion goes to the league. Practically, revenues of top teams are estimated between 1,2 to 1,5 million euros, so the maximum 11,6% raise can be calculated around 150.000 euros.
Euroleague managed to get better television rights deals this year – there is the example of the deal with Fox international, in which Euroleague allegedly got a 200% raise on the price of the TV rights in Italy – and that’s the main source of the increased revenues.


Road closures expected due to MPEC project in downtown Clarksville
Starting Tuesday, Sept. 15, there will be several road lane closures as crews work to tie-in sewer services to the Montgomery County Multipurpose Event Center (MPEC) site. The closures will take place from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., said a news release from the courthouse.
The timelines and locations have been approved and set by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) and include the following:
• Partial intersection shutdown at College and North Second streets scheduled Sept. 14-18.
• Eastbound lane of College Street closed between North First and North Second streets scheduled Sept. 14-18.
• Both lanes of North Second street closed between College and Main streets scheduled Sept. 14-Oct. 2.
“The cooperation between our project team, TDOT, the city Street Department, Clarksville Gas and Water, and Clarksville Transit has been great. We appreciate everyone working together on this part of the process. Tying into sewer services is one important step of many as we move forward in making MPEC a reality for our community,” said Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett in the news release.
The MPEC, a 250,000-square-foot, multi-level event facility in the heart of downtown Clarksville, is scheduled to open fall 2022. The demolition of older buildings on the site began in early August 2020.
