Excerpt:

Before Kurt Cobain was on top of the grunge music world, he was a budding artist trying to win over music critics and introduce his sound to fans. The new book "Experiencing Nirvana: Grunge in Europe, 1989," written by Sub Pop Records co-founder Bruce Pavitt, brings to life a slice of Cobain's pre-fame world - before drummer Dave Grohl came on board and prior to the release of Nirvana's debut album, "Bleach," which surfaced on the Seattle-based independent record label later that year. After signing Nirvana to Sub Pop, Pavitt took the band on its first European tour in 1989, with opening gigs for label mates Mudhoney and Tad. Pavitt says that it was on that tour - when Nirvana played the U.K.'s LameFest at the Astoria Theater in London - that the band won over critics overseas.

Body of California woman found at Lake Tahoe | Essentials

Body of California woman found at Lake Tahoe

Excerpt:

STATELINE, Nev. –  The search for a missing 19-year-old California woman who disappeared on New Year's Eve at Lake Tahoe ended Friday when her body was found behind a snow bank about a mile from the site of a music festival she attended that night, authorities said. Alyssa Byrne of Petaluma may have tried to walk three miles in freezing weather to the hotel where she was staying, and became disoriented or lost, Douglas County Undersheriff Paul Howell said. Her body was found along a road. The cause of death has not yet been determined, but neither foul play nor suicide is suspected, he said. Howell noted other concertgoers decided to walk back to a hotel in Stateline, a tourist destination on Lake Tahoe's south shore, because there were long lines for shuttle buses.

Union's basher takes online beating after punching Fox News contributor

Excerpt:

"Tony," a Michigan union worker whose mood is quicker than his hands, has a significant online image problem. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 876 member was caught on video clip Tuesday punching Fox News contributor Steven Crowder during a pro-union protest on Tuesday in Michigan's capital on the day the state Legislature approved "right to work" legislation that unions oppose. However posters who swamped the neighborhood 's Facebook page with remarks just weren't precisely hailing the hardhat for striking a blow for solidarity. Instead, they heaped scorn on the man for representing his cause terribly -- and while using a jacket with his first name embroidered on the breast. "No class at all," one post read. "Their families should be embarrassed by the behavior of these animals.". Another post defined "violence and intimidation" as the quality of unions, while others attended to Tony directly.

Aurora hearing: new gut-wrenching testimony likely

Excerpt:

CENTENNIAL, Colo. There was plenty of horror in the courtroom as Aurora police officers gave detailed accounts of the grim scene after a gunman killed 12 and wounded dozens of others during a July rampage at a packed movie theater. What was missing Monday was an explanation as to why James Holmes, 25, might have launched the attack. That's what drew dozens of survivors and reporters to the first day of what is expected to be a weeklong hearing to determine whether Holmes will stand trial for the shooting. "I mean, basically my son came out here to go to school. He never came back. He came back in a jar. So I would at least like to know what happened," said Tom Teves, of Phoenix, whose 24-year-old son, Ale, was killed in the attack.

White House Interns are a wonderfully diverse group of community leaders and campus trailblazers. They begin the Internship Program with a passion for public service, and during their time at the White House, they find ways to couple that passion with new skills so that they’re better equipped to serve after their internships are done. They come from all over the country and have unique dreams.

New technology to keep drunk drivers from driving

Maryland Remembers 8th Annual Ceremony

Excerpt:

There were nearly 10,000 deaths from drunk driving in the U.S. last year, down 2. 5 percent from the year before. There is now a debate over technology that could prevent drunk drivers from starting their engines. On October 29, 2010, Matt and Meredith Eastridge were pregnant with their first child, a son. The same night, David Huffman spent the last two hours of his life getting drunk. He put away the equivalent of 15 drinks, each one recorded on a security camera. The 25-year-old stumbled out of the Charlotte bar and three minutes later, Matt and Meredith Eastridge were critically injured when Huffman, with a blood alcohol content of. 23 and driving 100 miles per hour, hurtled into their SUV. "I remember saying look at that, look at that car. That was the last thing i remember" before being hit head-on, Meredith said.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
