  • Singer Is Bigger and Better Than Ever.‖ Hollywood's Sexiest Shirtless M
    ―From the looks of it, the "Whatcha Say" singer is bigger and better than ever.‖ Hollywood’s Sexiest Shirtless Men Who wouldn't want to marry these abs?!‖ ―With all due respect to Jason Derulo‘s singing, the first thing you think when you see one of his videos is ―Dude can dance.‖ The barrage of fluid contortions, twists, and gravity-defying acrobatics will have you wondering: Wait, did he really do that? But there‘s no CGI involved—only sweat equity.‖ ―Five months ago, Jason broke his neck, putting his entire career in jeopardy. No one knew if he‘d be able to get back on top. Now, he‘s proving everyone wrong.‖ ―R&B star Jason Derulo has smooth moves, both vocally and on the dance floor‖ The couple that is after our own hearts are Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo. If it isn‘t cute enough that their names both start with ―J‖, they are two gorgeous and talented people who happen to be in love…Jordin and Jason are great role models and an example of what love looks like, especially for our young lovers. Miami pop-R&B star Jason Derulo may compare past loves to regrettable tattoos on his new EP, but these five songs emphasize how he relishes in starting anew. While his past efforts (2010′s self-titled album and 2011′s Future History) shifted slyly from bubbly pop to polished rock and electrifying dance, the surprising Tattoos (out today, September 24) veers from one hormonal extreme to another. Tattoos feels either bold or heavy-handed, but it still builds anticipation, as an EP should…In Tattoos, it‘s hard to mistake new prospects for what he knows best.

    The Official Publication of the International Kokondo Association (IKA) Opening Words from Kaicho Howard KOKONDO: The way of the past and present: you cannot know where you are without knowing where you’ve been. Our name says it all. Five years since Shihan passed on January 2nd 2009. It is a mere drop in the bucket for us old timers, training 20, 30 and even 40 years in these arts. We still reach for the phone to tell him some funny thing that happened. We still expect to hear the sonic tongue click calling us to order. We smile fondly as we remember him. However, five years is a significant amount of time really. Beginners become advanced students in five years. We must face the confounding truth; our lower Kyu do not have memories of Shihan. So what do they have? They have us! Our job is to make him a force in their training. The responsibility is ours to tell the stories. Our duty is to make his spirit live. For we are Kokondo and you can’t know us without learning of our founder Shihan Paul Arel. Here are reminiscences from a cross-section of Kokondo-ka, as they share their impressions, stories and tales. Come and meet our Shihan through their eyes. Sensei Todd Sise One of my favorite memories of Shihan Arel when it was my turn. Shihan in his own dignified ironically happened outside the dojo. Shihan had and quiet way looked up and me and promptly just bought his new pool table and had invited congratulated me on my new Jukido promotion, me over to play pool with him.

  • From Online to Headline a Narrative on Legal Powers and Duties of an Indie Music Attorney Written by Brett Greenberg
    From Online to Headline A Narrative on Legal Powers and Duties of an Indie Music Attorney Written by Brett Greenberg 1 Chapter 1: The Discovery “Two cappuccinos for Frank and John,” the barista yelled. Frank took out his headphones and walked up to the counter and grabbed the drinks. He sat back down at the table with John and passed him one of the cups. “So do you feel ready for this yet” John asked. “I guess so. As ready as I’ll ever be,” replied Frank Frank was less than a week away from taking the California Bar. He had moved out to California a month after graduating from law school back in Ohio. Frank had dreams of working in the music industry as an attorney, and everything he’d learned had strongly suggested his best chances for pursuing that dream would be out West. John had been living in Los Angeles for over a year now. Frank and John grew up together as close friends, despite John being a few years older than Frank. The two always discussed their plans and dreams for their future careers. John had practiced in labor law in California briefly, but after a two-year stint at a firm, he decided to pursue his dream. Since then, he started working as a tour manager and personal manager to several artists. “I just want to get this exam over with,” said Frank. “I can’t stop thinking about it.” “You’ll be fine bud,” John said warmly. “You’ve been studying your ass off.

Centrally, this study asks, how are feminist organizers in Chile engaging music to mobilize artists, audiences, and industries to end patterns of patriarchal oppression? To what extent do feminist musical practices allow participants to navigate, re-sound, and re-envision the physical, social, industrial, and virtual spaces of which they are a part? By examining a diversity of feminist musical practices from the mid-twentieth century to the present, I explain how musical and interpersonal resonances shape feminist coalition-building while also reconfiguring the gender politics of social and geophysical space.

  • (2.5 of 4) ―Talk Dirty‖ – a Top 5 Hit That Spawned a Viral, Celeb-Packed Video – Is Probably This Spring's Jammiest Ja
    (2.5 of 4) ―Talk Dirty‖ – a Top 5 hit that spawned a viral, celeb-packed video – is probably this spring‘s jammiest jam. From that moment that hand-clapping, horn-blowing groove kick in, everyone within earshot must assume the twerking position…this is the track that Usher and Chris Brown wish they had made. Derulo keeps the booty beats buping for much of the rest of his third album. (2 of 4 stars) the hypnotic slow wind of Wiggle, with requisite Snoop Dogg cameo, is sure to be Derulo‘s next radio hit. He delivers a bright performance throughout…Of the known quantities ―Talk Dirty‖ sounds like Macklemore‘s ―Thrift Shop‖ on Red Bull and Viagra, while ―Marry Me‖ shows Derulo‘s tender side. (3 of 4 stars) It‘s Sir Mix-a-Lot, 2014! Jason Derulo is tired of being Mr. Clean…fans will finally be able to see the real him: the down and dirty Jason Derulo. (3 of 5) Get over that crassness and Talk Dirty actually works a bit better than Tattoos… "Marry Me," "The Other Side," and "Vertigo" (with girlfriend Jordan Sparks) are all carried over from Tattoos and make this the best of both worlds, but even with sequencing that's a serious step toward making the album flow well, and Talk Dirty does feel like some post-traumatic stress therapy session mixed with a banging, ultra after-party. Consider it two EPs colliding together, or a bumpy compilation with massive singles, but certainly consider the highlights, and consider the lesser Tattoos a moot point.

  • MIAMI UNIVERSITY the Graduate School
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Scott A. Sander Candidate for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy __________________________________________ Director Dr. Thomas Poetter _________________________________________ Reader Dr. Lisa Weems _________________________________________ Reader Dr. Ann MacKenzie _________________________________________ Graduate School Representative Dr. Nazan Bautista ABSTRACT EXPLORING PRESERVICE TEACHERS’ INTERPRETATIONS OF CURRICULAR EXPERIENCES WHILE LEARNING TO TEACH IN AN INQUIRY-ORIENTED WAY: A PHENOMENOLOGY by Scott A. Sander Despite ubiquitous calls for school reform, the traditional transmission model of education continues to dominate our nation’s science classrooms at all levels. How do these experiences impact those who enter formal teacher education programs and Methods courses that promote a more inquiry-oriented way of teaching science? The purpose of this foundational study was to explore the interpretations of five preservice science teachers’ (PSTs) curricular experiences in order to gain a greater understanding directly from the participants about learning to teach in an inquiry-oriented way. Phenomenology was selected as a flexible methodology that enabled access to the “lifeworld” that PSTs had constructed of their experiences within a science Methods course. The inquiry-based methods used within the course also provided the data that ultimately became the bulk of the stories presented in Chapter 4. The methods were selected for their ability to make the PSTs’ thinking visible. The use of “thinking routines” within the context of the Methods course supplied data from the PSTs as they were in the role of a student. The use of the virtual classroom TeachLivE™ supplied data from the PSTs as they were in the role of a teacher.

  • Albums Accomplish This Better Than Singles, Often by Exploiting Our
    Albums accomplish this better than singles, often by exploiting our craving for musical confection to expose us to harder stuff -- savories, meat and potatoes, crusty bread, tropical fruit. One of the two I've had on my mind while writing this is a best-seller. The other is by a 59-year-old who's been taking his 1937 Gibson on the road for decades. Neither has gotten the recognition it deserves. Say hello to Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" and Hamell on Trial's "The Happiest Man in the World." Granted, Derulo's never all that hard. His third album comprises 11 songs about pragmatically carnal sex so mind-blowing that three times he proposes matrimony behind it. I value both sex and matrimony too much to recommend this life strategy. But compared to the predatory Chris Brown of "Loyal" or the chauvinistic Trey Songz of "Foreign," he's so exuberant and playful he helps me get why guys and dolls fall for it--even share their thrills some, vicariously. And his command of contemporary hookcraft is musicianship aplenty by me. [Talk Dirty] tries to please everyone, and, shockingly, it‘s effective, also managing to give Mr. Derulo something he‘s never before had: a personality. Huge, glossy hits burst forth from this unexpectedly slick and consistently strong album… Throughout this album, Mr. Derulo is naughty and vocally alive, and shows versatility…And impressively, the more unusual the sound, the more Mr. Derulo cottons to it, making ―Talk Dirty‖ the year‘s oddest R&B album and among its most ambitious, though its greatest achievement may be creating a summer soundtrack almost everyone can agree on.
