Terrific Territories
Deb Cooley & Ken Tuminia, Day CoordinatorsTerrific Tuesday Top Team: This competition becomes more popular every year. Teams are limited to 10 members. Points are still earned for each of the activities on Tuesday's schedule. Each entrant earns points for participating, in addition to the points earned for winning or placing in individual and team events. Clubs, family groups – any group of people who choose to "bond" for the day – may register to accumulate points throughout the day. The winner will earn the right to fly the "Top Team" banner until next year. The winner will be announced at noon on Wednesday. Camera
Camera Workshop
9:30 a.m., Activities TentLee LaFollette, a local photographer, will hold a workshop in the Activities Tent giving tips on how to take photos of kites. This is located on the north side of the Bolstad approach across from the flagpole and next door to the First Aid Tent.
Photo Walk
Immediately following the Camera Workshop, there will be a Photo Walk conducted by Alexa King. Check back for more details.
Club Camps
Registration closes at 10:00 a.m., Judging from 11:00 a.m. – Noon
A "club camp" is a ground display, set up by a particular team. This can include ground art, banners, flags, tents, kites "at rest," people, pets – use your imagination. Judging is based on color coordination, artistic merit, innovation and overall presentation. Judges probably can be influenced by the presence of things like chocolate and other edibles.
Totally Tubular
10:00 a.m., Field ATuesday is "tube day" (No, not the TV). Bring your tubes. Tubes can be as beautiful as kites, so bring them and show us how. Anything that attaches to a kite line and inflates and is semi-round qualifies as a tube. Examples are chains, men, spiky balls, spin socks, even drogues.
Categories are as follows:
- The Tail Wags the Dog. This category judges how well your tube tail enhances your kite.
- Spin Me Around 'til I'm Dizzy. We're looking for tubes that spin or move.
- Trick Tubes. Does your tube make another shape, such as a chain?
- Go Figure. Two or more tubes flown together in concert, such as a train of koi, helix tubes, etc.
- Best of Show.
Pun Fun
11:00a.m., Field A
During this event, different types of kites will be flown together in one area. The idea is to present a pleasant visual display in the sky by putting up many kites of a designated type at the same time. Some of the categories lend themselves to allowing a visual pun to occur in the air. A point will be given for each kite flown that fits the category. Points will be credited toward winning the Top Team Banner. There will be 20 to 30 minutes dedicated to flying each type of kite, depending on the number of participants. Field crews will begin counting five minutes after the scheduled start time. Flyers are requested to fly their kites until the announcement is made that all kites have been counted. Ten minutes between categories will be allowed to provide time for assembling and disassembling kites.
Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend: Fly your diamond kites, big and small. Earn an extra point if the flyer at the end of the line is a "girl." Five bonus points to be awarded to the largest diamond kite on the field.
Delta Dawn & Hapi Together: All deltas and delta derivatives to the field, please. Is there a flower on your delta? That'll earn you an extra point. Everyone wearing a hapi coat will earn an additional point.
Saturday Night's All Right for Fightin': Well, so is Tuesday afternoon. Bring on the fighter kites!!
Pillow Talk: All soft "pillowy" kites are invited to the flying field – no sticks allowed! An extra point will be awarded to flyers brave enough to wear their slippers or a night cap on the field.
Crazy: We're crazy to think these would ever fly! Bring out your circoflexes, freeform kites, asymmetrical kites, character kites, etc. An extra point will be awarded to anyone wearing a crazy hat. The craziest hat will be awarded 5 bonus points.
Let's do the Twist: (things that spin round and round) This category invites kiters to dig out anything that spins. It can be spin socks, kites with spinning parts, banners with spinning parts, sport kites, fighter kites, designs that spin, etc. You must have a convincing story for the judges if your entry is pushing the theme. The more imaginative, the more likely you are to earn extra points for creativity.
Individual Rokkaku Battle
Pilots meeting 10:30 a.m., Battle at 1:30 p.m., Fields A & BThe individual Rokkaku Battle will feature traditional shaped Japanese Rokkaku battle kites. All participating kites may be no larger than four (4) feet. No Kevlar or cutting line may be used. The judges may disqualify a kite if the construction materials appear to be unsafe. Other safety regulations may be announced if deemed necessary. Gloves must be worn; hard hats are optional. All kites and line are to be provided by the contestant. The battle will be run in as many heats as time allows. Line length will be limited to 150 feet. During competition, contestants may move about the entire field. A grounded kite must be removed from the field immediately. Kites may not be grounded by intentional physical contact between contestants or between contestants and an opposing kite or line. Only contestants and staff may be on the field during the battle.
Scoring: Last kite in the air … 5 points
Next to last kite …… 4 points
Second to last …….. 3 points
Every contestant will get 1 point for each kite that they down.
Remember to have fun and that the judges' word is final.
Extra points for lights on your hard hat and also for boxing gloves.
Team Rokkaku Battle
3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., Fields A & B Pilot's meeting at 3:00 p.m.This is a team competition, giving teams a chance to demonstrate their skills as a group. The objective is to knock or cut other kites out of the sky using your team's kites. Gloves are required. AKA competition rules will be used. In order to ensure the safety and maximize the enjoyment of the teams, the following rules will be strictly enforced.
- A team consists of at least three members. They must fly a traditional Rokkaku (hexagonal) shaped kite. All team members must be on the flying field at the beginning of the competition. The addition of team members from outside the field will result in immediate disqualification and removal of the team from the field. All team members must be holding on to their kite line during the entire competition. Failure to hold on to the line will result in disqualification of the team. Team members must avoid body contact with opposing team members and their lines. Any obvious attempt to make such contact will result in disqualification.
- Sharp objects connected to the line will result in disqualification. Any attempt to cut an opposing team's line with a knife or other sharp object carried onto the field by a competitor will result in disqualification.
- Members of teams that have been forced down or disqualified must leave the field immediately. They may not make any attempt to interfere with the remaining teams.
- Any team observed not engaging for a 30 second period will be given a 30 second warning. They will be timed by a judge and disqualified if contact is not made. Teams will also be timed for contact on a random basis.
- The judges may stop the competition at any time by sounding a whistle or horn. All competitors must stop in place at the sound. It is expected that this will only occur when an injury has occurred or an unsafe condition is felt to exist on the field.
This event is usually run in several heats, with scoring determined by the finishing places of the teams in each heat. The event director will determine the number of heats based on the available time and the condition of the fliers. The judge's word is final!

Postal Service intercepts suspicious letters before reaching schools
Updated: May 6, 2011 - 07:00 pm
Suspicious letters containing white powder has been sent at more than 30 D.C. schools, scaring parents and sending authorities on the hunt for a suspect.
One school that received a letter, Bancroft Elementary in Northwest, received a suspicious letter last October. ABC7's Courtney Robinson reports that school officials recognized the letter and no one touched it.
"It doesn't make any sense why someone would want to scare the whole community," said parent Kim Frietze.
On Friday, the Postal Service intercepted and prevented suspicious letters from being delivered to McKinley High School, Maury, Barnard and Frances Stevens Elementary.
Law enforcement sources told ABC7 some of mailings were sent from Dallas, Tex. At least one envelope contained the words "AL AQEDA-FBI."
"We are in the process of having a laboratory" test, said James McJunkin of the FBI Washington field office.
Federal officials say this isn't an uncommon crime. They are examining forensic evidence from similar incidents around the country and locally.
According to the FBI, the suspicious letters were sent to D.C. elementary, middle and high schools across the city. D.C. Fire officials said another letter with a suspicious white powder has been discovered at a Department of Corrections youth facility in NE this evening in a mailroom.
Each letter was and will be analyzed for hazardous substances before being transported to the FBI's lab in Quantico for further analysis.
"This was a dastardly and incredibly disruptive act that has alarmed people unnecessarily," Mayor Vincent Gray said in a statement.
At one school the powder turned out to be starch. Nobody has been injured or sickened. The FBI is leading the investigation because of the nature of the threat and the potential link between D.C. case and others around the country.
"It's definitely disturbing," said David Heim, a junior at School Without Walls. "Not something that happens very often and clearly everybody is on high alert after Osama was killed."
Law enforcement sources tell ABC7 News that all the letters appear to contain the same contents. Authorities don't know if the envelopes came from the same sender.
The suspicious substances appear to be a white powder that was delivered to schools. Some schools have been evacuated. Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson said all schools will be open tomorrow, on time, unless otherwise advised by MPD or the FBI.
The envelope at the School Without Walls contained white powder in a folded sheet of paper. It stated "al quaida, fbi, usa" and was from North Dallas, Tex. Sources say that description matches the letters received at schools across the city from Southeast to Northwest.
"It was just a white powder," said Richard Trogisch, principal at School Without Walls. He ordered the school to be evacuated Thursday afternoon.
"Basically one of my secretaries and myself are the only ones who touched it. I didn't touch the powder."
Meanwhile, in response to the incidents in Washington, Maryland's law enforcement, emergency management, health agencies and schools are taking preventative steps in case suspicious packages are sent there.
"Maryland is prepared to respond and we can reduce that fear by raising awareness and informing our citizens to be prepared for how to react should this same scenario occur in their community," Richard Muth, the executive director of the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, said in a statement.
The number of schools kept rising throughout the afternoon as more and more reported finding suspicious substances. This is the most updated list:
The other schools are:
Amidon Elementary in Southwest
Anne Gooding Elementary in Northeast
Ballou High in Southeast
Banneker Day Care in Northwest
Beers Elementary in Southeast
Brookland Education Campus at Bunker Hill in Northeast
Burroughs Education Campus in Northeast
Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Northwest
Eastern High in Northeast
Eaton Elementary in Northwest
Hamilton Center in Northeast
Hardy Middle in Northwest
Houston Elementary in Northeast
Johnson Middle in Southeast
King Elementary in Southeast
Lafayette Elementary in Northwest
Lasalle Elementary in Northeast
Marie Reed Elementary in Northwest
Martin Luther King Elementary in Southeast
Maude Aiton Elementary in Northeast
M.C. Terrell Elementary in Southeast
Peabody Elementary in Northeast
Phelps in Northeast
Plummer Elementary in Southeast
Powell Elementary in Northwest
Ronald H. Brown Middle in Northeast
Ross Elementary in Northwest
School Without Walls in Northwest
Thurgood Marshall Elementary in Northeast
Youth Department of Corrections facility in Northeast

Friday after work, I went for a photo walk with Johanna. We had spotted this temple earlier in the week (was it? I can't remember how we found it in the first place – other than all the beautiful lights) ANYWAY, we went directly from the train to the spot. No. Wait. We went directly from Target to the temple. Side note: Target does not carry any craft or knitting supplies. No crocheting, no yarn, nothing. Nada. Bupkis. Now you know.
Anyway, we went to the temple on 140th street in Surrey, just around the corner from where we live. We parked in the temple parking lot, set up our tripods and took some long exposure photos of the towers in all their glory. While we were taking our shots, I noticed a security guard locking up the gates. I assumed there was another way out, but just to make sure, I flagged him down to ask. Lucky I did. He had just locked us and the He-Man-Way's car in the parking lot and who knows when it would be open again? Probably years? Or the next day? Either way, very inconvenient. We'd have to call Mike for a drive home.
The security guard cheerfully let us out and we were able to drive across the street and take photos like this:

a side from the fact you will need to snorkle the buggy it would be unwise to operate that here. the trees on the trails are un moving and would smash that suspension with little effort on your part.

the west side might be some fun where most of the bikes stay, but in the warmer days that side is usually full of bikes and quads. if it's a long way from where you are at, silver lake would be a better plan.

Dog tied to median, abandoned in extreme heatMILWAUKEE--Officers with the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission rescued a dog that was tied to metal pipes along a median Wednesday. It's unclear how long the dog was there but officers drove to the scene as soon as they received a call from a neighbor. The dog was left alone, in the sun without water on a day when temperatures reached well into the 90s. There were signs the dog was suffering from being out in the heat. "That's that heavy panting, it's hard. It's also at a fast pace," explained Animal Control Officer Robin Stoiber. The dog was driven from the area near 13th and Fond du lac and taken to the shelter where he was monitored and continued to cool off. The dog is expected to be okay. "I think sometimes people forget, like us, animals also need water, get hot in the sun, they are covered with fur so they do heat up hotter than us usually," said Stoiber. In general she recommends pet owners should keep their pets in the house during hot days and give them plenty of water. If you feel you have to walk your dog, wait until after dusk and don't go for long walks. Stoiber said heat exhaustion happens fairly quickly and the earliest sign is fast panting. Most Popular

Rhode Island On Track To Be 10th State With Gay Marriage
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The number of U.S. states allowing gay marriage is set to enter double digits now that Rhode Island's state Senate has taken a landmark vote.
The Senate endorsed a bill allowing gay and lesbian couples to wed Wednesday. It has already passed the House but must return for a final, procedural vote next week. Gov. Lincoln Chafee (CHAY'-fee) says he will sign the bill.
Gay and lesbian Rhode Islanders cheered at the Statehouse following the vote. Bills to legalize gay marriage have stalled in this heavily Catholic state for nearly 20 years.
This year, an aggressive and coordinated campaign helped ease the bill's passage. Sen. Maryellen Goodwin, a Providence Democrat and a Catholic, says she wrestled with her vote but decided to vote yes after hearing the personal stories of gays and lesbians in her district.

Neuroanthropology. Sometimes it's straight-up neuroscience, sometimes it's all anthropology, most of the time it's somewhere in the middle. Greg is the cultural guy, now interested in bio stuff. Daniel is the bio guy, now interested in cultural stuff. Or, to say it differently, Greg does capoiera, mixed martial arts, and rugby. Daniel does alcohol, drugs, and video games. Two very different styles of recreation.

Chicago, IL

This shoe is very light, doesn't mark or scuff easy, and takes a GREAT shine! Very comfortable, breathes well, and has a nice heel that protects your feet from sharp objects. Price has never gone above 50 bucks since I have been buying them. I have been wearing my most recent pair for about 3 years, and they still look, and feel GREAT! Told fellow officers about this shoe and several have purchased, and made it their shoe of choice as well. I buy mine two, or three at a time just in case they discontinue them for whatever reason. Check back often on for savings. Paid $30.00(Shoe) and $35.00(Boot) the last time I purchased. Bought 3 pairs that time(2 shoe, and 1 boot), and the total was just over a hundred bucks!

Coverage of elephant tragedy raises concerns
The Knoxville Zoo is holding a memorial service Saturday for Stephanie James, the zookeeper who was killed in an accident with Edie the elephant. a couple of weeks ago. The family did not want the media to attend, and the zoo contacted us to make sure we would not try to cover the event. We assured officials we would not. It's strictly our policy to respect family's wishes in such situations.
The death was a tragedy, and our coverage drew some criticism. One letter writer felt a follow-up story about the handling of elephants at the zoo was poorly done:
"I am concerned that the reporter would use a quote from Catherine Doyle, elephant campaign director for In Defense of Animals, a California based animal welfare group, concerning Edie. The story quoted her as saying 'I believe this elephant knew exactly what it was doing, but I don't believe that should be the focus.' How does a woman that lives in California, who has never met Edie and definitely was not there during this terrible incident know that Edie did this intentionally?
"Furthermore, has the reporter no respect for Stephanie James' parents? They place no blame and amidst their grief asked that donations be made to the Knoxville Zoo in her memory. The reporter writes about the elephant not being punished and I ask isn't the elephant already being punished, she is in captivity. In the second to last paragraph the reporter writes about the death at The Elephant Sanctuary that happened in 2006. The last sentence in that paragraph is "That elephant wasn't punished."
"The last paragraph was about the "state's most notorious elephant-related death that happened in 1916, when a circus elephant, Mary, killed her trainer in Kingsport." I'm truly unsure why this would be the most notorious, considering that I asked around today and nobody had even heard of it, but most did remember the death at The Elephant Sanctuary. The last sentence 'Authorities hanged Mary with a chain from a railroad derrick in Erwin, Tenn.' I was left with a very bad taste in my mouth after reading this article."
We certainly meant no disrespect to the James family. Through the years, our staff members have had quite a bit of interaction with the zoo and with Stephanie. But a follow-up article asking questions about the procedures for handling elephants at the zoo was a necessary part of our coverage.
As to the hanging of the elephant Mary, the event was widely publicized at the time, and plays and a song have been written about it. A photograph of the hanging received wide circulation, and the occurrence unfortunately contributed to the nation's image of East Tennessee for many years.
I think you are right that poor Mary being hung is right up there on top of the list of the most cruelest acts that any "human being" could do to an INNOCENT ANIMAL...
I wish Elephants would "lash" out more and get the world to see that they are not meant to be caged up in a zoo on concrete and ripped away from their family and CONTROLLED EVERY SECOND OF THEIR LIFE AND LIVING IN HELL....
omg...I will never forget that picture of Mary hanging from a crane....omg....it still haunts me and brings tears to my eyes..
I really think there is something terribly terribly "missing" in any human being that could harm any animal.....
The elephant that was executed by being hung from a crane is world famous. I knew about it back when I lived four states over. I'm not sure how many people the person who wrote that letter asked if they had heard about it, but I guess they aren't too interested in history.
Science, compassion and common sense should tell us elephants don't belong in severe, pro-longed confinement. Winkie, at The Elephant Sanctuary was diagnosed with PTSD as a result of years of abuse in zoos. Keeping these intelligent, social animals "in prison" diminishes our humanity.
The European Elephant Group lists far more than 100 accidents/attacks with elephants only in US zoo facilities with more than 20 keepers killed and more than 100 people badly injured in 50 affected different US zoos. Most of these incidents happened in a Direct Contact situation comparable to Knoxville and very often, the involved zoos tried to suggest it happened by an unfortunate accident. As a consequence of this, some of the zoos has changed its system to Protected Contact afterwards (e.g. Oakland, San Diego), but others do not seem to learn its lesson (e.g. Pittsburgh, Indianapolis) and it is only a question of time when the next serious incident will happen. By no means the problem is limited to the United States (e.g. Berlin Tierpark, Dresden, Moscow, Whipsnade, Wuppertal, etc.).
But if people like to conserve and propagate their illusion of only positive reinforcement in a Direct Contact system and do not put their true cards on the table, I cannot change it, but people in charge (directors, curators, head keepers, studbook coordinators, consultants) do know the real figures and they should act appropriately to avoid further accidents, if they take their responsibility seriously. Please check the attack video of Toledo zoo, when 7 yr. old juvenile bull calf "Louie" attacked and seriously injured experienced elephant keeper Don Redfox on Jul 1st, 2010 and make yourself a picture of your own of the used "positive reinforcement".
Back to Knoxville: Elephant bull "Tonka" has been successfully tended in Protected Contact for years now. Why not the females, although it is well known, that most of the accidents are caused by females? And definitely, no one will argue, that "Tonga" gets only second class care! Where is the problem?
It was very tragic that elephant keeper Stephanie James lost her life while working with elephant cow Edie, but she definitely knew exactly, how dangerous her profession was.
Bye the way: There was another serious accident at Knoxville zoo with c. 40 yr. old African elephant cow Mamie, who injured elephant keepers Tom Troy and Mike Gaugler when she broke loose on Aug 23rd, 2001. Both keepers were treated at the University of Tennessee Medical Center, but Knoxville zoo failed to change ...

Antitrust Ruling Could Impact State Regulatory Boards
A federal court found the action of a NC dental board to restrict discount teeth-whitening procedures was intended to limit competition, and a legal expert says the ruling could affect other oversight boards.
A federal appeals court ruling this month that affirmed antitrust complaints against a state dentistry board in North Carolina could have broader implications for other state regulatory boards monitoring professional activities, including those of physicians and hospitals.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit this month rejected the North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners' claims that it was exempted from federal antitrust laws under the "state action" doctrine.
The dental board had been the subject of an administrative complaint by the Federal Trade Commission in 2010 for violations of the FTC Act after the board banned non-dentists operating in mall kiosks and other venues from performing discount teeth-whitening procedures. A federal district court rejected the board's initial complaint, and the appeals court this month sided with the FTC and noted that the dental examiners board was composed of dentists who stood to gain financially by restricting the practice.
"At the end of the day, this case is about a state board run by private actors in the marketplace taking action outside of the procedures mandated by state law to expel a competitor from the market," the appeals court said in its ruling.

Information for Agencies
Directions and Parking: Visitor parking is available for all participants in the Lot M (4941 Riegel Road) visitor lot. More information is available on the Parking website. Once you park, walk toward the ponds on campus. Chancellor's Walk is the long sidewalk that runs from main campus to the dorms area. You will see dozens of tables set up along Chancellor's Walk. If you have large items that you need to drop off before parking, you can continue along Price Drive (off of Riegel Road) until you reach the back of the Computer Information Systems Building. That is the closest drop-off point between visitor parking and Chancellor's Walk.
Lunch: All agency participants will receive a light lunch sponsored by our partnernship offices (see above). There will be vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, drinks, and dessert.
Schedule: The Fair starts at 10am, so please plan to arrive between 9:30am and 9:45am. We will have volunteers on hand to help you set up your display/table and to help you carry items from your car as needed. We will also have volunteers available at 1pm to help you pack up.
Set-up: Each agency will have a table and two chairs. We cannot provide tents or shade, unfortunately, so you are encouraged to bring sunscreen or your own tent/umbrella. We will have tape on hand, but encourage you to bring paper weights so that your papers and materials do not fly away.

You are encouraged to stop by and talk to representatives from agencies during the event. See what their agency does and how you might help. Also check on internship and volunteer opportunities.

Ben Affleck, Grant Heslov and George Clooney, winners for best drama ('Argo')( Jordan Strauss / Invision / AP / January 13, 2013 )
"We got nominated for seven Oscars, including best picture," said Ben Affleck. "If you can't be happy with that, then your prospects for long-term happiness are probably pretty dim."
"I'm an enormous admirer of the academy," he added. But "Argo" producer Grant Heslov couldn't resist: "Which academy are you talking about?" he jabbed. George Clooney acknowledged he was "disappointed" by the Oscar best director snub for "Argo." "But you can't figure out what goes on in the academy. We talked about it the next day for a while. It's disappointing but ... we're not dead yet." |

This Christmas, shoppers and their children had a choice to make. Not what present would appear under the tree, but instead which Santa to ask for that gift.
According to PIX11, Macy's in New York City had two Santas on the job this year, one Caucasian, one African American. Santa's faithful just had to ask an elf to be pointed to the right line.
But as PIX11 reports, many shoppers didn't know they could chose a Santa of color to hear their Christmas wishes or that they had to ask. Macy's doesn't advertise the fact, and it's all by word of mouth.
There is no indication how long the store has been offering another Santa choice, but according to CBS New York , one shopper has been taking her child to the African American Santa for 10 years.
CNN reports that there are three separate areas, accessed by request at the end of a long line, that the Santa faithful will be ushered into, wating to meet the "special" Santa.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - Weather-wise, it was a lousy day for extra football Saturday afternoon at Lane Stadium. Otherwise, it was a triple-overtime thriller.
But Marshall wasn't as thrilled at the end. When Davonte Allen couldn't hold on to Rakeem Cato's fourth-down pass in the third overtime, Virginia Tech skated away with a 29-21 win. Logan Thomas provided the winning margin with a 2-yard run earlier in that extra period.
After getting hammered by the Hokies four times since 2002, the Thundering Herd program missed a chance at an eyebrow-raising upset. The visitors led 21-14 at halftime and most of the second half, until the Hokies tied it with Thomas' 2-yard touchdown pass to Willie Byrn - a pass Byrn caught despite Darryl Roberts' deflection.
That came on fourth down and would have given Marshall the inside road to victory. Perhaps the wet ball worked against Roberts, sliding straight off his hand instead of changing direction.
"If it were dry," said nickel back Corey Tindal. "If. We'll never know that."
The Herd (2-2) somehow lost this game despite:
"I told them I was proud of them, but we came here to win that football game," said MU coach Doc Holliday. "They played their asses off. They did everything we asked them to do since we came to campus and they never quit."
The Herd started poorly, when its punt protection all but waved the camo-clad rushers to punter Tyler Williams. Kyle Fuller blocked the kick and Derek DiNardo scooped up the ball for an easy touchdown.
It took a couple of possessions, but Cato and company answered after Devon Smith's 19-yard punt return started the Herd at its 49. Eight plays later, Cato found Smith for a 12-yard score that tied it.
When Thomas scored the first of his 2-yard touchdowns to give Tech a 14-7 lead, most of the 64,060 poncho-wearing fans couldn't imagine that would be the Hokies' last lead in regulation. But in the second quarter, the Herd took command.
A pair of defensive facemask penalties jump-started the Herd, and Cato loosened up the Tech defense with a 19-yard run. Cato ended the drive with a jarring pass fake pass and 4-yard TD run.
The Herd hit paydirt on its next possession, with Taliaferro reeling off consecutive runs of 19 and 23 yards - almost equaling ECU's game total against the Hokies. After tight end Gator Hoskins skirmished with Tech's Kendall Fuller, Hoskins caught a 13-yard TD catch, getting wide open after rover Kyshoen Jarrett fell.
That came with 9:06 left in the first half, and the Herd defense made that 21-14 lead stick for nearly 36 minutes. There were interceptions by Monterius Lovett and Neville Hewitt on consecutive plays.
And there were two major stops that had the Herd believing.
Late in the second quarter, Tech went on a 16-play, 73-yard drive that included punter A.J. Hughes running 12 yards for a first down after fumbling the snap. Marshall held the Hokies at the 19 and Keyserling hit the left upright from 36 yards.
The sterner stop came in the third quarter, when the Herd gave up pass plays of 23 and 13 yards and faced down a third-and-2 at its 11. After limiting Trey Edmunds to a single yard, the 6-foot-6, 254-pound Thomas tried his trademark QB draw on fourth down - and was met by Jermaine Holmes, James Rouse, Raheem Waiters and lots of other green for a 1-yard loss.

One of the best known summer pests, mosquitoes breed in stagnant water or soft soil and can develop from egg to adult in 10 to 14 days.
Can transmit West Nile encephalitis, a sometimes fatal inflammation of the brain.
Acquire the West Nile Virus from infected birds.
Breed in stagnant or putrid water. Mosquitoes are unlikely to breed in clear, clean water such as a well maintained swimming pool.
Are effectively repelled by products containing DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide).
Female mosquitoes suck our blood. Male mosquitoes feed on plant nectars. They can develop from egg to adult in 10 to 14 days. They are most active from dusk to dawn and will fly up to 14 miles for a blood meal.
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water sources such as storm drains, old tires, children's wading pools and birdbaths.
Mosquitoes are well-known to spread diseases such as West Nile Virus, malaria and dengue fever.
Eliminate or reduce mosquito breeding sites by replacing all standing water at least once a week. This includes bird baths, ponds and unfiltered pools. Remove unneeded vegetation or trash from around any standing water sources that cannot be changed, dumped or removed. Introduce mosquito-eating fish such as gambusia, green sunfish, bluegills and minnows to standing water. Screen windows, doors and other openings with mesh. Avoid going outdoors when and where mosquitoes are most active: during dusk or dawn. Use insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin whenever or wherever mosquitoes are likely to bite.

Leave no questions unanswered in your application
You've filled in all the online application boxes, wrote a customized cover letter, submitted work samples and sent in references. You even managed to toss in a few LinkedIn recommendations for good measure. It may seem like your job application can't get any clearer. But has it really answered all the questions a hiring manager wants to know before he or she decides to put you in the call-back pile?
A colleague of mine who recently conducted a round of interviews for an upcoming position told me she was surprised to see so many applications that left her with more questions than answers. "Your cover letter should always say why you want the position," she said, "especially if you're making a change from, say, selling tires to rotating tires."
It would seem that a reason for working for a particular employer would be stated right up front in a job application, but this basic message often gets lost in the lists of skill sets and past experiences. A cover letter and resume is supposed to be both a personal introduction and an advertisement for your services, so you should assume no prior knowledge on the part of the hiring manager. Note that I say cover letter and resume, since neither of these documents are meant to do everything on their own; they should work in tandem, giving the hiring manager a reasonably complete profile of your suitability for the job.
Here are some questions you always want to answer for hiring managers when you craft your cover letter/resume combo:
Why do you want to work at this company specifically? The honest truth may be that the company doesn't matter that much and that the job you're applying for is just one of many that you're considering that fits your skills. But obviously you never want to give that impression. A cover letter is a great place to get across the intangible aspects of your working style, such as your enthusiasm for the specific position being listed. Make sure that you include a line mentioning which aspects of the job listing caught your eye and why the employer should take the next step by interviewing you.
Do you know what the job entails? It's amazing how often job applicants send in cover letters that seem to have nothing to do with the position being sought. A mere description of what you did at previous jobs gives only a partial picture of your potential. Look very carefully at the job description and make sure you describe how you understand the various duties. Then back it up by pointing to the applicable transferable skills on your resume and a few anecdotes about how you have mastered them.
Have you explained any work history gaps? An unwritten rule about applications is to never highlight your weaknesses. Another rule of thumb, however, is to anticipate some questions you know you're going to face. One of the most common red flags hiring manager pick up on is work-history gaps in a resume, so you'll want to address that as soon as possible.
Fortunately, hiring managers are human and they realize how hard it has been to find work in the last few years. It used to be that a three-month gap in a resume was cause for concern, but today it is quite reasonable to expect job searches to last six to nine months these days. Anything longer than nine months to a year, however, should be explained in the cover letter. Just blaming the Great Recession will only get you so far; make sure you mention any other volunteer efforts, internships, education programs or other part-time gigs you may have taken during your period of unemployment to keep your skills sharp.
Are you willing to move here? This may seem self-evident if you're sending in an application from outside the area, but some job seekers — even those applying from several states away — don't bother to acknowledge the distance. If you're planning a move in the immediate future, be sure to state it right up front. If you're applying from somewhere beyond a two-hour drive but have no plans to move, you need to convince the hiring manager that you can maintain a long commute. Employers want to hire happy and well-rested workers, so they will be looking for people who are 1) content to live within a reasonable distance of the job location, and 2) able to schedule enough down time after hours so they don't burn themselves out in endless commuter traffic.
How can you help meet the company's needs? This may be the hardest message to get across, given the limited information in most job descriptions, but it's also the most important role of the cover letter/resume combo. Do as much research as you can on the company. What problems are the employers trying to solve with this position? What goals are they trying to accomplish? How will this position make their business run more smoothly?
The closer you come to answering all of the above questions in your cover letter and resume, the better your chances that a hiring manager will ask you the question: "When can you come in for an interview?"
Randy Woods writes about job-search tools, networking techniques and other tips to help you land your dream job.

cover letters, enthusiasm, motivation, questions, relocation, resumes, work history
It's like acting in a play. Play the role of an eager willing do anything to please employee to get the job. Demonstrate that you are willing to compromise your own integrity to earn a living. Say whatever is necessary, convince yourself you mean it, , pee in a jar, provide any personal information demanded without complaint. Sure the employer will pay you as little as he has to and work you as hard as he can; and he'll contribute money to the campaigns of politicians who will pass anti-worker legislation but be grateful none the less, for you are one of the lucky ones--you have a job.
