Wheat: Don't Look Back
Wheat's failure to launch on a major label resulted in four years of silence, a re-examination of the rock 'n' roll dream and a new vision for its soft-focus harmonic pop. By Matthew Fritch
In some ways, it's not much of a return when Wheat appears onstage at a bar in Cambridge, Mass., around midnight. It's not like the Pixies reunion. Hell, it's not even the second coming of Buffalo Tom. Wheat's first show in three years occurs at TT the Bear's Place, not at the larger venue around the corner, the Middle East, which the Afrobeat group Antibalas has sold out tonight. Wheat didn't get the cover story in the local alt-weekly, but the band scored a nice feature on the inside pages. And TT the Bear's is pretty close to capacity, assisting the typical college-aged Boston crowd in its weekend ritual of getting blitzed.
One drunken couple alternates between bitter arguing and sloppily making out during Wheat's set. A girl in a hoodie lies motionless in the fetal position against the back wall. There's a modern-day Lloyd Dobler doing the Say Anything move: During "Don't I Hold You," a heart-tugging pop song featured on the soundtrack to another, not-so-classic Cameron Crowe movie (2005's Elizabethtown), he holds up his cell phone to broadcast it to someone special on the other end of the line. After the song ends, he leaves.
There's a slight thinning of the crowd as Wheat progresses through a set of wobbly, melodic songs that artfully teeter on the edge of collapse. Even the old favorites are bent into weird new shapes; what was previously a three-minute guitar-rock tune is now extended to six minutes of divergent vocal harmonies and funereal washes of keyboard chords. Wheat declines to perform its biggest hit: lightweight pop jingle "I Met A Girl."
This isn't the same band that some in the audience may have seen opening for Liz Phair or Toad The Wet Sprocket a few years ago; singer/guitarist Scott Levesque and drummer Brendan Harney remain, but the other guitarist and bassist are definitely new. And even if everyone in the crowd knew the tunes from Wheat's forthcoming album—the band's first since 2003's Per Second, Per Second, Per Second … Every Second, issued by the same label that puts out records by platinum-selling artists John Mayer and Five For Fighting—they'd still find the elongated set a bit challenging.
Earlier in the evening, as a group of Dave Matthews understudies performed opening-act duties, Harney sidled up to me near the bar. "The major-label thing kicked our ass," he said. "We'll tell you about it tomorrow. I'm gonna go take a piss and freak out backstage."
The next morning, Harney is driving me around Rhode Island in a station wagon with a child's car seat in the back. He, his wife and young son live near Providence, in the kind of picture-postcard village whose main drag consists of nearly a dozen antique shops, a couple churches and an ice-cream parlor. We stop for free-trade coffee near the Brown University campus, then head to Wheat's practice space across the border in Taunton, Mass., where the rest of the band—Levesque, guitarist Rick Lescault and bassist Luke Herbert—is depositing its gear from the previous night's show.
Wheat rehearses in a small room on the second floor of a massive former textile mill. Walk around the building and you'll see that almost every door has been decorated by its residents: weekend rock warriors with names like Nostragarlic and Sin Ritual. Most sport a predictable mix of tacked-up Led Zeppelin gatefold LP covers, Simpsons posters and lewd drawings, and one door is simply adorned with a Jamaican flag.
"We're just like them," says Harney, noting that most of the bands consist of regular-dad types with pipe dreams and a set list they've been practicing for 20 years. "Some of those bands would lop off an arm to sit down to talk to anybody about their music."
When Wheat began, the group—Levesque, Harney, guitarist Ricky Brennan and bassist Kenny Madaras—initially decided against doing interviews and tried to maintain an air of anonymity; the sleeve of 1997 debut Medeiros doesn't list any of the band members' names. What's funny about this is that Levesque and Harney are unrepentant motormouths. When telling their music-business hard-luck story—you've probably read variations on the theme in articles about Spoon or Nada Surf—they issue tandem accounts of the two-year ordeal in rapid-fire spurts.
The tale begins during Wheat's other four-year recording hiatus, which occurred involuntarily after the demise of Sugar Free, the indie label that released Medeiros and 1999 sophomore effort Hope And Adams. Wheat signed on with U.K. imprint Nude to release Per Second, which had already been recorded, only to see Nude also go under. The band was stuck in limbo—under contract to a defunct label for nearly two years—when Wheat fan and Aware Records A&R man Steve Smith came to a show at TT the Bear's in April 2002. Wheat signed with Aware, a mid-sized Chicago-based operation that has a joint-venture deal with Columbia/Sony for wide distribution, later that year.
"After we signed to the label, I remember listening to one of their compilations [featuring] a Five For Fighting concert recording," says Levesque. "We were like, 'Oh my god, we are literally barbarians compared to how polished they sound.' Everything I hate about music was on that tape."
One of the first orders of business was to re-record Per Second to make it sound brighter and more palatable for mainstream radio, a move the band fully endorsed. "There are some edges that were smoothed over," says guitarist Brennan, who left Wheat in 2004 and is now launching a solo career. "It's always easy to look back and complain. At the time, it was really, 'Let's try it this way. Let's try everything in tune.' We wanted to make a big-sounding record. We wanted to throw our hats in the ring; why couldn't we be as big as Coldplay or whoever?"
When reached by phone for comment, Smith concurs that Wheat was happily gunning for a hit record: "My comment to the band was, 'Half these songs don't even have choruses, and it's still catchy. What happens when we put them in a more proper, mainstream form makes me think we're going to have one of the biggest records of the year. No doubt.' We don't kid anybody about our goals. We want to sell a million records every time out. Whether that makes us a 'cool' label or not, I don't care."
It's largely a matter of taste whether Per Second was improved in its latter incarnation. (Listen for yourself: The Nude version can be downloaded for free at www.thiswheat.com.) But what's obvious is that Levesque and Harney, who conceived Wheat as a conduit for unfettered—and often imperfect—musical expression, betrayed that instinct. Naturally, they've come to regret it.
"I stand behind the core of the songwriting," says Levesque. "But when every nuance is looked at and ironed over and auto-tuned, it's not art. It's artifice. It's decorative molding. It's nice. Nice sucks."
For his part, Harney recalls tense moments in the studio while attempting to drum loosely around the beat. "No one could understand that I was actually trying to put these notes in a spot that wasn't on the one and the three," he says. "They thought I was too stoned and couldn't do the right part. There's an inherent nervousness in the overcrafting of [Per Second]. You make everything 'right,' and suddenly it's all wrong."
Soon enough, joint decisions between Wheat and Aware became compromises. There was the change to the album artwork: A photo of a woman holding a match was unacceptable to Sony, as such an image was perceived to promote smoking. There were opening slots on tours in which Wheat would drive 14 hours in one direction to play a show, then drive 11 hours back in the other direction for the next date. There was the gig at the House of Blues in Disney World, during which Levesque urged the audience to buy Per Second at a local independent retailer instead of at Virgin's chain outlet; Virgin stores responded by pulling Per Second from their shelves the next day.
"That was the first horseman," says Levesque. "That was pestilence."
Then there was the $200 pair of Diesel brand jeans Levesque donned for the video for "I Met A Girl," the radio single that also wound up on the Aware-produced soundtrack for 2004 romantic comedy Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! "I remember arguing about it," says Levesque. "But there's a whole video crew there and 12 extras, and you look like an asshole rock-star dude. 'Just put the jeans on. Put on the jeans.'"
What was wrong with the jeans?
"They're not my jeans!" crows Levesque. "At this point in my life, the jeans I'm wearing are the jeans I chose. I'm not angry that they wanted to change my jeans. I'm angry at myself for saying, 'All right.' I'm not mad at the A&R guy or the label or bass player number seven. Shame on everyone a little bit."
All these perceived transgressions might've been overlooked if Per Second was racing up the charts. It wasn't. Smith estimates the album sold fewer than 30,000 copies.
"I championed that band more than anything," says Smith, no doubt a little bit bummed about being cast in the role of crassly commercial-minded A&R guy. "I'm not bitter about it, but what's being put out there from their side, that frustrates me. The band and label are always going to feel different."
Unable to continue paying its hired touring musicians, Wheat soldiered on as a three-piece for the first half of 2004. The band was slated to be on the second stage of Lollapalooza that summer, but the festival was canceled three weeks before it was supposed to begin.
"We just felt like nobody cared anymore," says Brennan. "No one said it outright, but the phones stopped ringing after that."
"It's a bad cliché for artists, but I'm a bad businessperson," sighs Levesque. "After that record cycle, we fired everybody—including ourselves."
Says Harney, "We just stopped."
Taunton is an old mill town in southern Massachusetts, and it's home to descendants of Portuguese fishermen and what are known as swamp Yankees: working-class Anglos who are New England's rough equivalent of rednecks. Levesque grew up in Taunton and Harney hails from nearby Fall River, both dots on the map that still seem to be sleeping through their post-industrial decline; each town feels a long way from the area's blue-blooded suburbs and Ivy League campuses.
In the restaurant of Taunton's Portuguese soccer club, however, a world-class feast is laid at the table: bowls of kale soup, a plate of marinated pork and peppers with littleneck clams over potatoes, a steak filet topped with an egg, glasses filled nearly to the lip with wine. Both Levesque and Harney claim some degree of Portuguese heritage, and the mysterious title of Wheat's debut album, Medeiros, is a common surname around here.
Just up the street from the restaurant is the house where Levesque and Harney, who met as art students at UMass-Dartmouth, began sketching out songs at very low decibels so as not to disturb the neighbors. Originally operating under the name Gerl, the duo became Wheat with the addition of guitarist Brennan and used $5,000 from upstart label Sugar Free to record Medeiros with local producer (and former Small Factory singer/guitarist) Dave Auchenbach.
Just as Wheat wasn't built to be a mainstream band, the group wasn't exactly tailor-made for indie rock, either. Auchenbach's warm analog-tape production gave the band a lo-fi glow on Medeiros, and Dave Fridmann decked out Hope And Adams with his typically grandiose Flaming Lips treatment. But Wheat isn't a band for the detached and jaded set, as the songs are often loaded with sappy, lovelorn lyrics and easy-riding soft-rock hooks.
"Some bands love dissonance and chaos and confusion and anarchy," says Levesque. "I'm not into it. You can push the envelope, but you can never get just discord. You know how kids go to art school, and it's the first time they leave their families and they start drawing big phalluses? It's like that. There are some bands that transcend that, noise-wise, but for the most part, it's a bunch of copycats."
In the aftermath of the Aware campaign, Levesque and Harney—both in their late 30s—returned to their wives and children and home-improvement projects. Last fall, after deciding that Per Second shouldn't be Wheat's last will and testament, they began work on Everyday I Said A Prayer For Kathy And Made A One Inch Square. Aware, which retained the option to release Wheat's next album, declined the opportunity, and the band struck a deal with the Rhode Island-based Empyrean label.
Kathy isn't so much a reflection of Wheat's past struggles as it is a window into the lives of two guys who are keeping their chins up, balancing creativity and domesticity. Harney's wife is named Kathy, and the lyrics often concern the kind of romance where two people lean on each other and try to figure out how to be in love until death parts them. Sonically, Wheat veers back toward the ambitious path of Hope And Adams, a potent distillation of Sparklehorse's intimate orchestrations and the Shins' sharp songwriting turns. Stocked with sentimental melodies and unguarded pleas—Levesque repeatedly intones "You mean so much more to me than anything" on opener "Closeness"—Kathy will remind listeners why Wheat stood out from the emotionally repressed indie-rock crowd in the first place.
In stark contrast to Per Second's hit-single clearinghouse pacing, Kathy features several zen-like moments of quietude, giving the album a distinct ebb and flow. One such song, "To, As In Addressing The Grave," with its church-organ drone and Levesque's nearly wordless, plaintive vocal, served as the unlikely opening song at the TT the Bear's gig. Wheat didn't go out of the pop-music game with a bang, and the only thing the band could do was return with a whisper.
"We were drawing a line," says Levesque. "People say, 'You guys were so poised to make it.' We kind of made it. In a way. For me. The horizon is not a destination. It's not a place where you can go have a drink and water your horse."
"To have everything feel right," adds Harney, "it feels like when we were making Medeiros 10 years ago."
"You have to decide what making it is," says Levesque. "Yeah, I made it. I made it today. And tomorrow's another day, man."

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Pat Sullivan, the 1971 Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn who went on coach TCU and Samford, has died. He was 69.
"Pat Sullivan gave Samford all and more than we could have asked," Samford President Andrew Westmoreland said. "His teams won games, his players persisted to earn degrees. By personal example, he led everyone closer to Christ and he brought honor to our university."
Sullivan was an All-American and SEC Player of the Year his last two seasons.
"He was a kind and humble gentleman, who was an Auburn legend," Auburn athletic director Allen Greene said. "He made a lasting impact on Auburn as the school's first Heisman Trophy winner, a coach and longtime ambassador."
He was on the search committee when Auburn hired coach Gus Malzahn.
Sullivan's family released a statement saying he "died peacefully at home" Sunday morning, surrounded by relatives. The former quarterback was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2003 and the statement said he "fought a long and difficult battle as a result of his treatments."
Sullivan was a College Football Hall of Famer who played four seasons with the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, wrapping up his playing career in 1976 with the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers.
"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Pat Sullivan, one of Auburn's all-time greats on and off the field," Malzahn said. "I will forever be indebted to Coach Sullivan for helping bring me back to Auburn to serve as the head football coach.

Sullivan led the nation in total offense as a junior in 1970, teaming up with wide receiver Terry Beasley to pass for 2,586 yards. He passed for 2,012 yards and a career-best 20 touchdowns as a senior, securing the Heisman with a 248-yard, four-touchdown performance against Georgia. Sullivan edged Cornell's Ed Marinaro 1,597-1,445 in Heisman voting.
"He was a friend, mentor and a man of great character who was beloved by many generations of Auburn fans."
He went on to serve as special advisor to the president for campus and community development.
He entered the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1981.
Before going to Auburn, he was a three-sport star at John Carroll Catholic High School in Birmingham

He was TCU's head coach from 1992-97 and then worked as UAB's offensive coordinator before taking over at Samford. Sullivan was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a player in 1991.
"Coaching is a grind. Right now I need more balance in my life," Sullivan said in announcing his resignation. "I need to pay more attention to my health and I want to spend more time with (wife) Jean, my children and grandchildren. I owe that to them. But I'm not done working and I'm not leaving Samford."

Tomi Lahren, Glenn Beck in heated custody battle over Facebook page
Tomi Lahren-Blaze Exit Drama: What Glenn Beck Is Saying And What ... - toofab.com
The Blaze is holding Lahren's 4.2 million Facebook followers hostage and refuses to give them back.

Tomi Lahren, who was fired from Glenn Beck's conservative media network, The Blaze, earlier this week after making pro-choice comments on ABC's "The View", wants Beck to relinquish control of her Facebook page and its 4.2 million followers. Glenn Beck, however, has other ideas.
TMZ reported on Wednesday that The Blaze, which owns the rights to Lahren's Facebook page, has cut off all access to Lahren and her team, which could have a significant impact on the 24-year-old pundit's marketability. With 4.2 million followers, the Facebook page has an audience roughly equivalent to the population of Houston, Texas.
Beck uses Lahren's followers as a bargaining chip
According to TMZ, Tomi Lahren still has six months left on her contract with The Blaze and is currently in the process of negotiating a severance package. Sources familiar with the situation believe that the package will include a non-compete clause that would prevent Lahren from taking her talents to a rival network for a fixed period of time. Lahren's Facebook followers-- whether they are aware of it or not-- are most likely going to play a role in the severance package.
The Hill reports that a recently created Facebook page, "The Real Tomi Lahren" has already racked up 20,000 followers, but Lahren has confirmed to The Hill that the Facebook page is a fake.
Who is the real hypocrite?
Lahren fell out of favor with Beck on March 17, when she appeared as a guest on "The View" and referred to pro-life conservatives as hypocrites. The Blaze immediately suspended Lahren for one week.
On March 20, Glenn Beck, who is an outspoken opponent of abortion, used his radio talk show to smear his own network's biggest draw, devoting several minutes of airtime to blasting Lahren over her comments and playing audio clips in which Lahren professes to be pro-life. During the broadcast Beck stated, "If you're pro-choice, you can have a job at The Blaze. I don't hire people who are sycophants or have my opinion."
Once the suspension was over, however, The Blaze severed its ties with Lahren.

Tiger Shark Migrations Altered by Rising Ocean Temperatures From Climate Change
TOPICS:Climate ChangeOceanographySharksUniversity of Miami
By University of Miami January 13, 2022

A new study led by scientists at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science revealed that the locations and timing of tiger shark movement in the western North Atlantic Ocean have changed from rising ocean temperatures. These climate-driven changes have subsequently shifted tiger shark movements outside of protected areas, leaving the sharks more vulnerable to commercial fishing.
The movements of tiger sharks, (Galeocerdo cuvier) the largest cold-blooded apex predator in tropical and warm-temperate seas, are constrained by the need to stay in warm waters. While waters off the U.S. northeast coastline have historically been too cold for tiger sharks, temperatures have warmed significantly in recent years making them suitable for the tiger shark.
"Tiger shark annual migrations have expanded poleward, paralleling rising water temperatures," said Neil Hammerschlag, director of the UM Shark Research and Conservation Program and lead author of the study. "These results have consequences for tiger shark conservation, since shifts in their movements outside of marine protected areas may leave them more vulnerable to commercial fishing."
Hammerschlag and the research team discovered these climate-driven changes by analyzing nine years of tracking data from satellite-tagged tiger sharks, combined with nearly forty years of conventional tag and recapture information supplied by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Cooperative Shark Tagging Program and satellite derived sea-surface temperature data.
The study found that during the last decade, when ocean temperatures were the warmest on record, for every one-degree Celsius increase in water temperatures above average, tiger shark migrations extended farther poleward by roughly 250 miles (over 400 kilometers) and sharks also migrated about 14 days earlier to waters off the U.S. northeastern coast.
The results may have greater ecosystem implications. "Given their role as apex predators, these changes to tiger shark movements may alter predator-prey interactions, leading to ecological imbalances, and more frequent encounters with humans," said Hammerschlag.

It could also be poisoned ocean waters from humans dumping all their sins into the oceans. You should dig deeper before crowing success.

"Tiger shark annual migrations have expanded poleward, paralleling RISING WATER TEMPERATURES,"
Where are the numbers?
From the journal article, "Taken together, tiger sharks possess traits hypothesized to accelerate climate-driven range shifts, namely large body size, high mobility, NARROW THERMAL TOLERANCE, …"
Perhaps that should be "narrow thermal PREFERENCE." From the same article, Table S1, recovered tags show that tracked individuals experienced temperatures from 7°C (45°F) to 34°C (93°F), or at least a 27°C (49°F) range. I would consider that a substantial range in temperature, really only excluding the Polar Regions.
For context, water has a very high specific heat capacity — about 4 times that of air — meaning it takes 2-4 times as much energy to warm a given volume of water compared to the same volume of air.
A commonly accepted rate of global warming of the atmosphere is about 0.2°C per decade, or less than 0.8°C over the 40-year analysis period. The water probably only increased less than half that, or 0.4°C. So, with individual sharks obviously being able to tolerate a range of at least 27°C, it would seem that a 0.4°C climate warming (~1%) is lost in the noise of the weather induced temperature changes!
Perhaps they have missed something in their haste to blame climate change for all the evils in the world.

There exists no temperature record of the last 150 years that shows any variations greater than science tells us have occurred naturally over the last 5000 years.

Abbott and June is a by-product of (surprisingly) becoming a mom (twice) – hilarious, right? As a new mom of two little boys who also worked full-time, I found myself with a very different social life than I'd grown accustom to. Abbott and June was initially an outlet for all of those "adult" conversations I wished I still had time to have, inadvertently hitting home with moms who, like me, couldn't relate to the glossy and glamorous dialogue that had been built around motherhood and parenting over the decades.
As a writer, storyteller and English graduate from the University of Iowa, who's spent the majority of her career in the digital advertising and software world, every moment I get to put into Abbott and June is special. From a maternity leave project aimed at keeping me sane to a full-fledged blog that has cultivated an inspiring community of parents and like-minded individuals, Abbott and June holds a special place in my heart.

Robert Driver – Croydon/Purley

Child rapist jailed for life
A child rapist from Purley has been jailed for life.
Robert Driver (3/9/63 – 49 ys) of Partridge Knoll, Purley, was sentenced
at Croydon Crown Court on Tuesday 25 September to life imprisonment for
the rapes of two girls when they were aged 4 -7 years old.
Driver, who still maintains his innocence, received the life sentence for three counts of rape and a further 24 years for seven indecent assault charges – the sentences to run concurrently.
A jury found him guilty on all counts in May.
Driver was described during the trial as a "dysfunctional, non-working,
drunk, porn-addicted naturist".
The rapes occurred between the years of 1997-2002 but it was not until 2010 that one of the victims realised Driver had "taken her innocence", following a sex education school class.
Following the sex education class, the girl went to police, to speak up about her ordeal.
It was then that she met DC Carol Howard from the Met's Child Abuse Investigation Team, who tirelessly spearheaded the case – gathering evidence, tracking down Driver's other victim and supporting both girls throughout the case until its conclusion last week.
Croydon Crown Court heard that one of the girls was the daughter of a
family friend.
DC Christopher O'Doherty, who prepared the case for court, said: "Robert
Driver was a man who preyed on the most vulnerable of victims. He was entrusted to look after these young girls and used this position of responsibility to repeatedly sexually assault them.
"This case clearly highlights that although the offences occurred over 10 years ago the Met Police will do all they can to find the evidence to help convict such dangerous individuals."
I feel at peace' says teen raped at the age of five after Croydon paedophile convicted
A TEENAGER says she feels "overwhelmed" after the paedophile who raped her when she was just five years old was this week brought to justice.
The girl, who is now 14, has bravely broken her silence in the hope that it will encourage other victims of abuse suffering in silence to come forward.
Former Croydon Scouts volunteer Robert Driver, 48, denied seven charges of indecent assault and three of rape, but was this week found guilty at Croydon Crown Court of sexually assaulting and raping two girls who were under seven years old.
The now 14-year-old, who lived with her family in Croydon when she suffered her ordeal in 2002, said: "I'm happy but at the same time overwhelmed.
"I feel justice has been done but it took a long time.
"I can now move on without having to worry. I think maybe that I will be able to go out without feeling self-conscious and able to get on with my school work.
"It feels great that I can try to move on and that I can sleep in my bed now instead of waking up on the staircase in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep properly because of everything.
"I don't have to be scared anymore. I feel more at peace with myself."
Driver assaulted and raped the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, when he and his wife were visiting her family home.
The girl's mother said: "There is no punishment severe enough.
"He destroyed my daughter's innocence."
From the age of five, the girl began self-harming, displaying severe behavioural problems and was regularly getting into trouble at school.
But another eight silent years would pass before the real reason for her problems was revealed to her family – she was attacked by Driver, while he was a guest in their home.
It was in 2010 that the victim realised Driver had "taken her innocence", following a sex education school class, which this week led to him being found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting her, along with another girl under seven years old.
It was then that she met Det Con Carol Howard from the Met's Child Abuse Investigation Team, who tirelessly spearheaded the case – gathering evidence, tracking down Driver's other victim and supporting both girls throughout the case until its conclusion last week.
Driver, now 48, had been staying at the girl's family home with his wife, who lay downstairs while he crept up the stairs during the night and preyed on the five-year-old.
The victim's mother, who also cannot be named for legal reasons, said: "There was something about him from the start I didn't like at first, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"I wish I had listened to my gut feeling.
"I feel sick because you are supposed to protect your children, not put them in the hands of a paedophile."
Croydon Crown Court heard how Driver, of Partridge Knoll, Purley, attacked another girl repeatedly between 1997 and 2000, and this girl in 2002.
The former Scout volunteer was last Friday found guilty by jury of seven counts of indecent assault and three counts of rape.
Tony Badenoch, prosecuting, described Driver as a "dysfunctional, non-working, drunk, porn-addicted naturist" who received a thrill from the attacks, which left the girls with recurring nightmares.
Mr Badenoch said: "Each of them was raped and asked to perform sexual activity.
"They both articulate in their own way the horror. Mr Driver took their childhoods and destroyed them."
The girl's mother told the Advertiser that during his two-week stay with the family, who then lived in Croydon, Driver would creep up to her to try and kiss her also.
She said: "I had to tell his wife to tell him to stop coming up the stairs to me in the middle of the night. I put it down to the drink at the time, but now I know he was just a predator, regardless of age, and for that reason he deserves to be locked up and the key thrown away.
"My daughter should have been able to grow up and have a normal life like other girls.
"I would sincerely urge people to come forward who might also have been affected. It might take time but justice can be done."
The court heard how a family member walked into the victim's bedroom one morning to see Driver in a sleeping bag with her.
She told her family that he had asked her to perform sexual acts on him, but was unable to articulate her story to police at the time.
The girls' accounts and nightmares – assessed by a psychotherapist who addressed the court – "mirrored" each other to such an extent, despite them not knowing each other, that Driver was found guilty. Psychotherapist Cath Connolly said both girls' nightmares were "based on actual real-life events".
Breaking her silence and speaking publicly for the first time, the victim told the Advertiser: "I feel justice has been done but it took a long time to do it.
"I want to say a massive thank you to my family for supporting me."
The court heard Driver had a previous conviction for indecent assault in October 2003 after a woman who he stayed in a house with overnight awoke to find the 48-year-old sucking on her breast.
Despite the conviction, which was used by the prosecution to build a case against Driver, he claimed he was innocent and that at the time he had tripped over a nearby vacuum cleaner, meaning he landing on the woman's breast awkwardly.
However after pleading guilty, he was given a three-year community rehabilitation order at Croydon Crown Court in 2004.
Tony Badenoch, prosecuting, also told the court Driver had punched his son, who was eventually put into care, in the face at a very young age in 2000. The offence led to him being convicted of ABH in 2001.
Driver was a former Croydon Scout volunteer but according to the borough's Scouts district commissioner, Steve French, he ceased to be a helper in the mid-90s.
Mr French refused to say which branch Driver volunteered at, but added: "We regularly CRB-check our staff and deal with it in a very proactive way. All of our members in our care are immensely safe."
Driver was found guilty of seven counts of indecent assault and three of rape by a unanimous jury at Croydon Crown Court. He faces being given a life sentence on July 9.

Filed Under:Bomb Threat, Evacuation, Independent School District 15, St. Francis High School, St. Francis Middle School, Troy Ferguson
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) –St. Francis High School has been declared safe Friday after a bomb threat forced the school to evacuate.
Shortly before 10 a.m. the Superintendent of the Independent School District 15 Troy Ferguson said the school received a bomb threat.
While unconfirmed, Ferguson said students and staff were evacuated to St. Francis Middle School for safety precautions.
Local law agencies responded and are working to clear the building.
Shortly after noon, a post on the school's Facebook said the Anoka County Sheriff's Canine unit came in and swept the building. They did not find anything and declared it safe for students to return.


In its 4th year since inception, Fashion Weekend has grown from a relatively modest designer sale into a mammoth four-day shopping, beauty and pampering mecca for Sydney's style conscious seeking to bag some designer gems at bargain prices.
"Fashion Weekend is all about the designer sales," explains event director Vikki Lewis. Not only that, the beauty and pampering section saw shoppers having mini makeovers and hair styling sessions in between finding items for their winter wardrobe and getting inspirations from hourly runway production shows.

Q: Erlang: How to split line with commas but avoiding the ones inside quotes? Split a string by commas but ignore commas within double-quotes using Javascript gives the regexp /(".*?"|[^",\s]+)(?=\s*,|\s*$)/. How to get use it in Erlang re:split()? The regexp doesn't work with Erlang.
1> S = "20140419,\"Blah blah, foo foo\",1,0,0,0,1,2,0,0".
2> re:split(S, "(\".*?\"|[^\",\s]+,)(?=\s*,|\s*$)", [{return,list}]).
["20140421,","\"Blah blah, foo foo\"",",1,0,0,0,1,2,0,0"]

The result I'm looking for is the list
["20140421","\"Blah blah, foo foo\"","1","0","0","0","1","2","0","0"]

Thanks.

A: Just translate the JavaScript regular expression to Erlang:
Erlang R16B03-1 (erts-5.10.4) [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:10] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.10.4  (abort with ^G)
1> S = "20140419,\"Blah blah, foo foo\",1,0,0,0,1,2,0,0".
"20140419,\"Blah blah, foo foo\",1,0,0,0,1,2,0,0"
2> {ok,R} = re:compile("(\".*?\"|[^\",\\s]+)(?=\\s*,|\\s*$)").
{ok,{re_pattern,1,0,
                <<69,82,67,80,122,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                  ...>>}}
3> {match,Matches} = re:run(S, R, [{capture,[1],list},global]).
{match,[["20140419"],
        ["\"Blah blah, foo foo\""],
        ["1"],
        ["0"],
        ["0"],
        ["0"],
        ["1"],
        ["2"],
        ["0"],
        ["0"]]}
4> [M || [M] <- Matches].
["20140419","\"Blah blah, foo foo\"","1","0","0","0","1",
 "2","0","0"]

In shell command 2 note the use of double backslashes in the pattern to specify \s correctly.

A: Came up with a parser using pattern matching. Adding it here in case anyone finds it useful.
parse_csv(String) -> parse_csv(String, [], [], [], false).

parse_csv([], S, Acc, [], _) -> lists:reverse(lists:map(fun(X) -> lists:reverse(lists:flatten(X)) end, [Acc|S]));
parse_csv([], S, [], L, _) -> lists:reverse(lists:map(fun(X) -> lists:reverse(lists:flatten(X)) end, [L|S]));
parse_csv(String, S, Acc, L, IsSubStr) ->
    case String of
        [$"|T] when IsSubStr =:= true ->
            % end of substring (ending quote).
            parse_csv(T, S, Acc, [$"|L], false);
        [$"|T] when IsSubStr =:= false  ->
            % beginning of a substring (beginning quote).
            parse_csv(T, S, Acc, [$"], true);
        [$,|T] when IsSubStr =:= true andalso L =/= [] ->
            % comma within a substring
            parse_csv(T, S, Acc, [$,|L], true);
        [$,|T] when IsSubStr =:= false andalso L =/= [] ->
            % comma after a substring.
            parse_csv(T, [[L|Acc]|S], [], [], false);
        [$,|T] when IsSubStr =:= false andalso L =:= [] ->
            % comma after a normal string.
            parse_csv(T, [Acc|S], [], [], false);
        [H|T] when IsSubStr =:= true ->
            % within a substring
            parse_csv(T, S, Acc, [H|L], true);
        [H|T] when IsSubStr =:= false ->
            % a normal string
            parse_csv(T, S, [H|Acc], [], false) end.

Example:
2> ql:parse_csv("foo,\"bar aa\",blah,\"dooo\",phew").
["foo","\"bar aa\"","blah","\"dooo\"","phew"]
3> ql:parse_csv("foo,bar,baz").
["foo","bar","baz"]
4> ql:parse_csv("foo,\"foo, bar\",baz").
["foo","\"foo, bar\"","baz"]

A: How about this:
1> string:tokens(S, ",").
["20140419","\"Blah blah"," foo foo\"","1","0","0","0","1","2","0","0"]

Or even:
2> re:split(S, ",", [{return,list}]).
["20140419","\"Blah blah"," foo foo\"","1","0","0","0","1","2","0","0"]

string:tokens/2's doc.
(@kadaj, that is seriously a lot of code to parse CSVs)
Edit: to properly answer the question, one needs to reassemble "\"…", "…\"" pairs.
To do so, a trivial recursive function will do:
finish([[$\"]++Rest=M, Scnd|T], Acc) ->
    finish(T, [M++Scnd|Acc]);
finish([H|T], Acc) ->
    finish(T, [H      |Acc]);
finish([], Acc) ->
    lists:reverse(Acc).

No, this is not Europe's Champion in 100 Meter race advertising for sport shoes; rather, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) campaigning for a single seat for his workplace, the European Parliament.
Indeed, the European Parliament is currently based in three different locations: Strasbourg (France), Brussels (Belgium) and Luxembourg. While the offices in Luxembourg host the General Secretariat and translation services, MEPs attend most preparatory meetings in Brussels and meet only 12 times a year in Strasbourg, for the voting sessions. According to the parliamentary calendar, MEPs must also spend time in their respective constituency to maintain contacts with their electorate.
Numerous critics are raised on the costs, waste of time and environmental impact of this "travelling circus". The Greens political group has long campaigned against this multi-seat operation and a "Single Seat campaign" was also launched by a cross-party group of MEPs. This week, the European Parliament's constitutional-affairs Committee approved a report asking EU member states to empower the MEPs to decide where and when to meet.
The Czech MEP Edvard Kožušník chose an alternative way. He ran 1,300 km last summer across his country to protest against this situation. "As an MEP, I spend the entire year working in Brussels and Strasbourg and have little time to talk to my constituents back home. That's why I decided to take advantage of the summer holidays when the European Parliament is not in session to meet with people in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia," said the MEP in an interview for the European Conservatives and Reformists group.
But last week again, the 766 MEPs, their assistants, parliamentary staff and interpreters, journalists and lobbyists travelled from their home or Brussels to Strasbourg to attend the October plenary session.

Stopping the run: Rookie T.J. Watt is among 13 players ready to experience their first postseason game on Sunday when the Steelers take on the Jaguars at Heinz Field in the AFC Divisional Round, and it's something he is ready for.
"I am excited to get back out there at Heinz Field in front of Steelers Nation," said Watt. "It's going to be a fun time."
For it to be the experience he really wants, though, Watt knows it will have to be a much different game than it was in the regular season when the Steelers lost to the Jaguars, 30-9, at Heinz Field.
"Obviously, the game didn't go the way we wanted it to," said Watt. "We know the reasons why. We couldn't stop the run early on and it bled throughout the game. I think first and foremost we have to stop the run and that will allow us to open it up and get after the passer.* *"Growing up, you know as a defense you have to stop the run. If you don't and they get three or four yards a pop in the run game, they won't have to pass at all. It's crucial for us to stop the run. They stick to the run throughout the whole game, so it's not like we are going to shut it down early and they are just going to pass for the rest of the game. We have to stop it throughout all four quarters."
In that earlier meeting Leonard Fournette had 28 carries for 181 yards, including a 90-yard touchdown run late in the game.
"I feel like we could have contained him lot better," said Watt. "Any time they go over 100 yards rushing on our defense, we feel like that is disrespectful and we want to make sure we fix that. That is why we will come out this week and try to stop the run the best we can."
All the marbles:** Another playoff first-timer is Joe Haden, who never played in the postseason in his seven seasons with the Cleveland Browns. Haden is hoping for a long postseason run, and understands there is no margin for error with so much on the line.
"We know this is single elimination," said Haden. "You have to put all of your marbles out there. We have to understand every play, everything matters. Making tackles, communication, stopping the run. There are a lot of things. We have to be on our Ps and Qs. Big plays here are a lot different than the regular season."
Business as usual: Yes, this week is a little bit different than those they have had throughout the regular season. After all, it's the playoffs. But the vibe you get at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex lets you know that they are treating this week the same as any other.
"The way we go about our day to day business is no different as far as our preparation, our attention to detail," said Mike Mitchell. "If you are changing those things at this time of year, you weren't preparing right in the first place. The thing that we do a great job here is we treat every game like it's important, as a must win, so when we get in games that are important and must wins, it's business as usual."

Wanted to let you know how pleased we have been with our new Contain-A-Pet electric dog fence system. Moving to rural New Kent County from Charlotte, N.C. was a big change for our family including our dog Dusty. We were fortunate enough to get a home with an acre of land and didn't want to break up our beautiful back yard with a fence. We know we made the right decision to go with Contain-A-Pet. Dusty adjusted quickly thanks to your training and we would definitely recommend Contain-A-Pet electric dog fence system to anyone.
Thanks for being so thorough with Dusty's training and the installation.

'Old Oligarch' is a label often applied to the unknown author of the Athenian Constitution preserved with the works of Xenophon. Probably written in the mid 420's B.C., it is the earliest surviving Athenian prose text, and its author was probably a young pupil of the teachers known as sophists. It is an essay which replies to oligarchic criticisms of the Athenian democracy by agreeing with the critics that democracy is distasteful but arguing that it is appropriate for Athens as a city whose power depends on the poorer citizens who row the navy's ships, and that it is successful and could not easily be overthrown. This edition provides a Greek text and English translation, with Introduction, Commentary and Appendixes which discuss the date, authorship and character of the work, the historical background, the statements and arguments presented by the author and features of the author's style.


Clenbuterol is used by athletes and body builders as a result of its properties in improving general lean muscle make-up, and burn excess fat, although the use of Clenbuterol as a drug in sports is a legal concern in lots of countries. There are countries in Europe where it is used treating asthma and various other breathing conditions, as a bronchodilator.
The results of this wonder drug as an ephedrine on the beta 2 receptors lead to the increase of the secretion and manufacture of the group of hormones called the catecholamine. These hormones consist of epinephrine or adrenaline, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and dopamine, all secreted from the adrenal region activating beta adrenergic receptors. Nevertheless, for the body builders and athletes, the fat loss burning properties of Clenbuterol are of prime worry.
It is a thermogenic drug, which indicates that the temperature of the body is a little enhanced once it starts to come into effect. The rise in temperature of the body leads to a beneficial problem when the fat cells are quicker refined from the fats, and the energy from the same is taken advantage of faster. Besides this, it has revealed to turn around the results of insulin, which promotes the process of the failure of glycogen into glucose. It also boosts the weight loss rate in the body, or simply puts speeds up the metabolism rate of the body. This function is especially selected when it is administered specifically as a weight reduction drug.
Clenbuterol Hydrochloride or Clen as it is known for short, comes in tablets and fluid, though the fluid is implied for horses, and is very hard to dose appropriately for human beings. Tablets come in 20 or 40mcg dosages, yet as men take 80-160mcg a day in one dosage, and women take 80-120mcg a day in one dose, why would certainly any person want the 20mcg tablets.
It can just securely be considered three weeks activating beta adrenergic receptors, after that the beta 2 receptors come to be broken and it is doing nothing in order to help, after a three week cycle of Clenbuterol, one need to pick up another 3 weeks to let the beta 2 receptors recuperate. If you intend to take it for longer than three weeks, you have to take ketotifen tablet, 2-3mg a day of Ketotifen, taken before bed (it makes you really sluggish), indicates you could use it for 6-8 weeks without a break.
Individuals often pile (integrate) Clenbuterol Hydrochloride tablets with T3 Cytomel, incorporated Clenbuterol and T3 Cytomel tablet at the same time for 3 weeks will burn a remarkable amount of fat. The T3 Cytomel stimulates your thyroid when your thyroid is promoted your metabolism rises and you burn fat very promptly. T3 Cytomel is likewise only ever before used for three weeks, and after that stopped for three weeks, taking Ketotifen does not indicate that you can take T3 Cytomel for longer than 3 weeks.

Kids' health gets a lot of media attention during back-to-school season—ads, discounts, blog posts! But for most parents, thinking about their child's health isn't a seasonal thing. We think about our kids pretty much every day—what they eat, whether they're getting the nutrients they need, how we can support their ongoing physical and mental development.
All this obsessing over what our kids eat, and more importantly what they don't eat, isn't groundless. Research shows us time and again that childhood is when good nutrition really counts, yet most kids—whether because they're picky about the foods they eat, or because the most nutritious foods aren't always available to them—simply don't get the nutrition they need for healthy development through their teen years.
We know, for example, that omega-3 DHA, an essential nutrient that can only be obtained from diet, is critical for healthy brain development.* We also know that the FDA recommends that pregnant and lactating women, along with children ages 2 and up, eat between 1-3 servings of fish every week. But less than 10% of people across all age groups consume adequate amounts of fish on a regular basis, according to the USDA's 2015 Scientific Report on Dietary Guidelines.
The deficit in omega-3 consumption is a big reason why Nordic Naturals is introducing five new children's products. (We're also introducing a new look with easier-to-read labels for some of our other children's product favorites).
We want to make sure that every parent has access to high-quality, research-supported, and age-appropriate nutritional supplements to meet their child's individual nutritional needs. And, we want to make sure that kids actually enjoy taking the supplements their parents give them. I know from my own experiments with getting my three-year-old to take fish oil daily that taste—and delivery format—really, truly matters.
Our liquid formula is recommended for ages 1-3, while our soft gels are recommended for ages 3-6. Both have a new, natural berry punch flavor.
Something I learned in talking to our product development team about this one-of-a-kind product: the magnesium and zinc in this formula are chelated glycinates, meaning they are are attached to glycine, an amino acid, to help make the minerals easy to absorb.
Just because your child reaches adolescence doesn't mean his or her brain has stopped growing. In fact, your child's brain will likely continue to grow well into his or her early 20s. This means that omega-3s EPA and DHA still play critical roles in your teen's healthy cognitive development.* The problem is, teens are busy people prone to skipping meals and snacking on whatever's at hand rather than seeking out nutritious fare. Our new Ultimate Omega 2X Teen gives teens a way to get those all-important omega-3s without too much effort (or excuses). Each strawberry-flavored, mini-sized soft gel packs a teen-sized serving of our highest concentration fish oil.
Probiotics seem to be everywhere these days, and for good reason. Research is continually linking digestive health to immune health and overall wellness.* Given the frequency with which my child typically gets sick in the winter, this new probiotic formula definitely caught my attention. It's a healthy twist on the pixie sticks you probably remember from your own childhood—a delicious powder that melts on your tongue. Only this powder is actually nutritious, as well as being fun to eat. Our new Kids Nordic Flora Probiotic Pixies contains 3 billion CFU of two powerful, research-backed probiotic strains shown to support kids' immune and respiratory health.* If that means fewer seasonal bugs at our house, then I'm already a fan.
Like all our probiotic formulas, this one is shelf stable (meaning it doesn't need refrigeration), with strains that are proven to survive passage through the harsh environment of the digestive tract. And, like every product we make at Nordic Naturals, it's also non-GMO and third-party tested for potency and purity.
Our five new products (counting DHA Xtra twice, since it comes in both liquid and soft gels) will start to be available beginning this week. Go check them out!

Polis revises Elijah McClain executive order to restore reference to potentially prosecuting police
Gov. Jared Polis made a second revision Wednesday to his executive order directing Attorney General Phil Weiser to investigate the death of Elijah McClain, acknowledging previous tweaks to the order's language "were taken by some in the wrong way and were hurtful to others."
The newly revised order restores language that directly refers to the possibility of prosecuting police officers in connection with McClain's death.
McClain, 23, died in August 2019 after being placed in a chokehold by Aurora police, then sedated by paramedics. Prosecutor Dave Young declined to criminally charge the officers or paramedics involved in McClain's death, but on June 25, as pressure mounted and national attention grew, Polis appointed Weiser as a special prosecutor.
The original order gave Weiser the authority to investigate and prosecute "any potential criminal activity by law enforcement officers or any other individuals that caused the death of Elijah McClain."
On Nov. 10, Polis amended the order, giving Weiser the authority to investigate and prosecute "offenses arising from the Aug. 24, 2019, encounter with Elijah McClain and/or his subsequent death." The revision removed the reference to potential criminal activity by police.
At the time, Mari Newman, an attorney for McClain's family, acknowledged the scope of the amended order was more broad than the original.
"My concern is that the office is looking to bring lesser charges on related conduct, but sidestep the actual murder," she told The Denver Post.
Denver's Party for Socialism and Liberation held a protest at the state Capitol on Nov. 21, saying in advance of the demonstration that the group believed the amended order had raised the possibility the attorney general could bring "watered down charges."
The revision announced Wednesday restored references to criminals offenses and the possibility of prosecuting police. The order now directs Weiser "to take all necessary actions to investigate, on behalf of the state of Colorado, offenses, including criminal offenses, arising from the Aug. 24, 2019, encounter with Elijah McClain and/or his subsequent death, and, if deemed necessary, prosecute any persons, including law enforcement or any other individual, for such offenses."
The governor's office, in announcing the changes, said the original revision was meant to expand Weiser's prosecutorial authority.
"The intent is and always has been to allow the attorney general to conduct a complete and impartial investigation of this matter," said Jacki Cooper Melmed, chief legal counsel to the governor, in a statement.

Last Time Out: The Synopsis For The Cowboys' LBs
(Editor's Note: In conjunction with the DallasCowboys.com position series, here's a look back at how each player performed last season. Today's piece features the linebackers.)
Bruce Carter-- Carter played in 15 games in 2013 – a good number for this oft-injured unit – and finished third on the team in tackles with 122. Despite those numbers, most regard 2013 as a disappointing year for Carter – including the man himself. The common logic was that Carter would excel in Monte Kiffin's Tampa 2 scheme, which was similar to his college scheme with North Carolina. It never quite clicked, however, as Carter struggled in pass coverage and was replaced in the lineup on several different occasions.
Justin Durant -- Durant has not had an All-Pro career to this point, but his 2013 output was definitely a letdown from his previous body of work. Hamstring problems limited him to just 10 games, tied for the lowest number of his seven-year career. On top of that, he managed a paltry 24 tackles despite starting six games as the Cowboys' strong side linebacker. In every other season of his career, he's managed at least 49, and he peaked as high as 103 tackles in 2012 with Detroit. After re-injuring the hamstring in the collapse against Green Bay, Durant spent the final two weeks of the season on injured reserve.
Kyle Wilber -- This is Wilber's first full offseason at linebacker, as he didn't discover his home at the position until roughly halfway through 2013. Originally drafted as a 3-4 outside linebacker, the Cowboys experimented with moving Wilber to defensive end in their new 4-3 – with marginal success. Wilber notched two sacks through the first half of the season, including one that forced a fumble against the Redskins. He couldn't maintain any consistency, however, and he moved to linebacker when injuries to Sean Lee and Justin Durant depleted the position. To say he adapted quickly in an understatement, as he notched seven total tackles in his first game at linebacker – a 24-21 win against New York. All told, he recorded 31 of his 44 tackles on the season from the linebacker position – all in the last six games.
DeVonte Holloman -- Holloman showed glimpses of playmaking ability during his rookie preseason, particularly when he returned an interception for a touchdown against Miami in the Hall of Fame Game last August. Unsurprisingly, injuries held him out for roughly eight weeks during the middle of the season. Perhaps the biggest indicator of Holloman's ability was that, despite dealing with a rash of injuries, the coaching staff opted not to place the rookie on injured reserve. It paid off, as he returned for the final three weeks and registered 21 tackles and two sacks.
Anthony Hitchens -- When they drafted him in May, the Cowboys sold Hitchens as a potential replacement if Sean Lee got hurt. It took less than two months for those words to prove prophetic, as Lee's torn ACL thrust the rookie into the spotlight. He was a tackling machine for the Hawkeyes, as he finished with 270 tackles in his four-year career. The problem there is that Hitchens was a weak side linebacker in college, whereas the Cowboys hope he can potentially play in the middle. It's going to be a steep learning curve during training camp.
Cameron Lawrence -- Lawrence seemed like a longshot to even make it through training camp last year, but he worked his way onto the practice squad after a strong showing in the preseason. When the Cowboys released Will Allen, they signed Lawrence to the active roster. He mainly made his mark on special teams, finishing in a tie for second with 12 special teams tackles.
Orie Lemon -- After spending time in Dallas in 2011 and 2012, Lemon signed with the Cowboys last season off Arizona's practice squad. The Cowboys added the extra body during their bye week, as both Sean Lee and Justin Durant were unavailable. Lemon didn't have much of a chance to make an impact, however. He appeared in three games but did not register a tackle on the season.
Will Smith -- If Hitchens was drafted to be the Cowboys' future Mike, then the hope for Smith is that he could develop into a Will. Given the amount of work required of a weak side linebacker in this defense, Smith could be just the guy. He was an absolute force in his final season at Texas Tech, racking up 120 tackles in 13 starts – and a whopping 86 of those were solo stops. He added 10.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks, for good measure. A junior college transfer, Smith made 175 total tackles in 26 career appearances for the Red Raiders – an average of seven stops per game.
Dontavis Sapp -- Sapp got his first crack at a starting role in his final season with the Volunteers. At Will linebacker, he put together a 66-tackle, eight-tackle for loss season to finish third on the Tennessee defense. As a three-year reserve, he managed plenty of experience on special teams, notching four special teams tackles in both his freshman and sophomore seasons. He blocked a punt during his junior campaign.
Keith Smith-- Smith was, simply put, a machine for the Spartans during his college career. He started 45 games during his four-year career, and he capped that off in 2013 by leading the nation with 159 total tackles – an average of 13.3 per game. He earned first-team All-Mountain West honors for his efforts, which saw him post nine games with 10 or more tackles. He posted [embedded_ad] two 20-tackle performances.
Joe Windsor -- Windsor started 12 of 14 games at defensive end for the Huskies, where he notched 37 tackles and finished second on the team in sacks with 4.5. For his efforts, he was named third-team All MAC. Windsor added another seven sacks in 2012.
Scout's Take: I believe this is the position that might see the most change from how things start out in camp to what we see against the 49ers opening day. Right now, Justin Durant, Bruce Carter and Kyle Wilber are the starters but as I mentioned, that could all change five weeks from now. The position to keep an eye on is Mike linebacker and if Durant can hold onto his job with the additions of Anthony Hitchens and Rolando McClain now in the mix. We should also not discount DeVonte Holloman getting a rep or two there this camp. My gut feeling is that McClain despite all those off field issues will show up at this camp and win the job from Durant just for the reason that he is much better in coverage which is a key to playing in this scheme. McClain's talent level is also clearly better than what I have seen from Durant.
