Tiger-Cats hire Kent Austin Hamilton, ON (Sports Network) - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats named Kent Austin head coach on Monday. In addition, Austin will be the team's vice president of football operations and general manager. Austin replaces George Cortez, who was fired last week after compiling a 6-12 record in his first season with Hamilton. "We are extremely excited to announce Kent Austin as our lead football executive and head coach. Kent brings a combination of expertise and leadership with a track record of success that we feel makes him perfect fit for our organization. It's a tremendous day in TigerTown," said president Scott Mitchell. Austin was the head coach at Cornell University for the past three years, recording an 11-19 record during that span. The 49-year-old Austin entered the coaching ranks in 2003 as a quarterback coach with the Ottawa Renegades. He spent the following season as Toronto's offensive coordinator and helped the team capture the Grey Cup. Austin was head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2007. He was named the CFL's Coach of the Year after leading Saskatchewan to its first Grey Cup championship in 18 years, becoming the first head coach to win a championship with the same team he did so as a quarterback. Austin accepted the job as offensive coordinator at the University of Mississippi, his alma mater, in 2008. He spent two years at Mississippi before taking the head coaching position at Cornell. "I am honored to join the Hamilton Tiger-Cats organization," Austin said. "There are a lot of reasons to be excited about this opportunity, namely the strong ownership in place, a very passionate group of fans behind us and the chance for immediate success. I can't wait to begin working on our goal of bringing another Grey Cup championship to the city of Hamilton." 12/17 19:22:17 ET |

Dear Politics Current Events group members,
We do appreciate your feedback on our new group format. And, we see there are still some issues to resolve.

How comforting to know that this website only has "issues".
I am frightened to think of what it would be like with "problems".
I have no idea, AARP seems to have a life of it's own despite any settings we make. Here's another glitch: I just tried to reply to a post in another thread, and when I click "reply" at the top of the page is the opening post of the thread, and then the list all the topic titles as if I clicked "discussions". See below.
They must be working on the system, nothing is working right. Look at all of the misplaced topics below.
Posts: 5,946Comment by Republican Shows The Bigotry That is Insidious in the GOPposted at 03/30/2013 04:36:41 PM EDTThey just can't help themselves. The GOP is in "recovery mode" again as their "soldiers" hit the media to try and save the party of hate. I mean, come on now, WETBACKS? And what is he, an OLD BIgot?
They will, NEVER, see the Latino vote again regardless of Rubio. Cruz and the other dunces they round up...........
Don Young and the GOP's Archie Bunker problem
The message: whatever effort they make toward modernizing their brand, there will always be a few Archie Bunkers out there — people, like the lead character in the 70′s sitcom "All in the Family," who are unconcerned with or unwilling to moderate their tone. And these days more than in the past, their offhand remarks can derail the most carefully orchestrated PR campaign.
Young, 79, set off a fresh round of recriminations and hand-wringing among Republican leaders while talking about the people his father employed on his California ranch years ago.
"We used to hire 50 or 60 wetbacks and — to pick tomatoes," Young said in the interview with KRBD. "You know, it takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It's all done by machine."

Herr, Stapley Finish First at XTERRA New England Trail Run Series Finale(Hanover, NH) – After weeks of flash floods and tornados, the skies opened up to let the sun shine for the first-ever XTERRA STOAKED Trail Run held at the Oak Hill XC Trail System in the Storrs Pond Recreation Area this past Saturday. David Herr, 43, of Canaan, VT finished the 16-kilometer course with the fastest time in 43:25. Less than two minutes later, race director Chad Denning, 33, of New London, NH crossed the finish line to capture second place. In the women's division, Montreal, Quebec native Sophie Stapley, 39, won the first place title with her time of 50:15. Dorcas Wonsavage, 43, finished her hometown course less than a minute later to take the runner-up position. While a majority of the athletes who took part in Saturday's race called New Hampshire home, twelve other states as well as Canada were represented at the event. When asked to describe the course, Denning said "In a word… muddy." He added "The event went amazingly well this weekend! We had some great athletes, and they all loved the race course, the venue and the all-out festival atmosphere." Since this was the third and final event in the 2008 XTERRA New England Trail Run Series, Regional Champions will be crowned and invited to race for free at the XTERRA Trail Running National Championship on September 27 in Bend, Oregon. Here runners from across the country will come together to challenge themselves against trail running's best competitors. From there, runners will have the opportunity to compete in the first-ever XTERRA Trail Running World Championship on December 7 over a spectacular course on Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. For more information, visit www.xterratrailrun.com. Complete race results are attached and more information can be found online at www.xterratrailrun.com.

One of the casualties of last year's layoffs at Microsoft was the Aces game studio responsible for the company's long-running Flight Simulator game.
At the time, Microsoft promised that the flight simulation franchise would continue in one form or another. This week, Redmond confirmed that it is indeed following through with a new title: Microsoft Flight.
The game is in its early development stages, with an alpha version nearly ready for internal testing, according to Kevin Unangst, a senior director in Microsoft's game unit.
The company is offering few details on Flight, but Unangst said that it … Read more
Burning through 2010 just a little faster: Madden 11 hands-on
It's often been argued that Madden, EA's premier exclusive sports franchise, has had nowhere to go with its yearly editions--that users are paying for glorified "roster updates." Though it's true that many of Madden's yearly tweaks have bordered on the nearly invisible to those who weren't hard-core fans, EA Sports has taken a decidedly opposite approach to Madden 11's improvements.
Here, we look at the console version of Madden, specifically on the Xbox 360. Read here for our take on the iPad version.
Scott: "Simpler. Quicker." These are advertised on the box boldly. Clearly aware that the video game version of football has become a little like gridiron Street Fighter, with too many moves to explain without hours spent on proper training, much less the 40 seconds between plays, the emphasis in this year's Madden has clearly been placed on streamlining and mainstream appeal. Is that a smart idea, and more importantly, does it work?
Edging toward simplicity is not a trend limited to Madden. Shooters, RPGs (Fable III, in particular), and casual games have all been boiling down their interfaces, removing text and icons, and making complexity easier to grab in a shorter period of time. … Read more
Dentistry simulation android is all smiles
Aspiring Japanese dentists can now look forward to honing their skills with a robotic simulator, where mistakes won't have serious consequences.
Developers at Showa University and robot maker Tmsuk say Hanako Showa, designed to look just like a 5-foot-tall Japanese woman, is the first of her kind in the world.
Offering realistic treatment scenarios, she can open and close her mouth, turn her head, and say "Ouch! It hurts!" She can also interact verbally with students, answering questions like, "Are you OK?"
But why a female robot? An English-version press release (PDF) from Tmsuk has … Read more
Honda driving simulator monitors your road skills
Honda Japan has announced a fully remodeled driving simulator to promote safer driving, featuring high-resolution LCDs with computer graphics, a moving seat for a more realistic experience, and feedback about users' driving skills.
The latest simulator features high-definition 42-inch LCDs, image and text explanations of and advice about road hazards, as well as two- and six-axis motion options. A touch-panel display allows for easy operation.
Users can select driving simulations at nighttime, in fog, and on the highway as well as regular urban environments. While there are other vehicles on the simulated roads, it seems there are no pedestrians.

Panasonic Blu-ray player incorporates 19th-century audio tech
My expectations heading into the Panasonic press event on Wednesday in New York City were pretty low. I'm the audio guy and most of the hubbub was focused on new plasma and LCD displays, and Blu-ray players.
I sat there, eyes glazing over, as Panasonic spokespeople prattled on about "exciting" new advances in Viera Link and PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus technologies--good times for me! But then something amazing happened: they mentioned sound quality! Trust me, that doesn't happen very often at these things, so I was all ears.
First, the new DMP-BD85 Blu-ray player features an HDMI Jitter Purifier, which, according to Panasonic, "affords clear, robust bass sounds faithful to the original." That sounds like something the PR department dreamed up, but it may be useful. We'll see.
Then they said the DMP-BD85 uses a Digital Tube Sound Simulator to produce the warm sound quality associated with vacuum tube amplifiers! What? They even had a small plastic display box fitted with three small tubes to illustrate the concept. DMP-BD85 owners can select between the "sound" of three different tube effects over the HDMI and 7.1-channel analog audio outputs (or turn off the effect and hear unprocessed sound). They didn't mention it, but this sort of sonic enhancement probably won't be compatible with Dolby or DTS soundtracks. That leaves DVDs, Blu-rays, and CDs encoded with PCM audio.… Read more
Super Modeler
Consideo's Modeler is the sort of unusual software that turns up from time to time. It's designed to visualize and analyze "connections of arguments, ideas, strategies, projects, and processes." It can model complex, multifactor business strategies, but it's useful to everyone from scientists to students. Among the real-world virtues it claims are the ability to shorten meetings by focusing questions and clarifying arguments. It functions as both a qualitative analysis tool, identifying, tracing, and describing factors and connections ranging from "weak" to "strong," and a quantitative modeler, running simulations based on … Read more
Mad Catz X65F Flight Stick looks military-grade
LAS VEGAS--At last year's show, Mad Catz treated us to a series of new controllers, but at CES 2010 we're getting a taste of the first force-sensing flight stick we've seen.
Due out in February, the Saitek Pro Flight X65F Control System is designed specifically to emulate aircraft controls found in modern military fighter jets. While most conventional flight sticks tilt with your movement, the X65F responds solely to pressure while remaining still.
Bundled in with the X65F is a CD loaded with preset control maps for some of the most popular flight simulation games out there. … Read more
NASA tech simulates moon landing (audio slideshow)
Housed in a 10-story building at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., is one of the world's most unique machines. The Vertical Motion Simulator is a massive installation that gives pilots and engineers the opportunity to test aircraft design and explore flight characteristics with an incredibly high level of realism and accuracy.
Last week CNET visited the facility as NASA was testing out Altair, the design for the next generation of lunar landers. As they test the current design, pilots and engineers make recommendations, enhancements, and alterations.

If going to the dentist makes you nervous, relax. New guidelines may give you one less thing to worry about. Doctors used to recommend that people with heart conditions take antibiotics before a trip to the dentist. The goal was to prevent infective endocarditis. Infective endocarditis is a very rare but potentially life-threatening infection of a heart valve. It can develop when bacteria enters the bloodstream and travels to the heart.
Some dental procedures, such as pulling a tooth, can increase the risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream. But the American Heart Association says the chance of developing infective endocarditis from a dental visit is very small. In fact, your everyday activities are just as likely to cause infective endocarditis as a trip to the dentist. And that's why antibiotics before a trip to the dentist aren't necessary for most people.
You can skip the antibiotics before your next dental visit if you have or have had:
Some heart conditions do put people at higher risk for infective endocarditis. Antibiotics are still recommended if you have or have had:
Talk with your doctor to find out if you need antibiotics before your dentist visit. The new guidelines may take you off the hook for antibiotics. But they won't let you off the hook for flossing.

Don't you love the title Thought Leader? Perhaps not. I am not even sure how it actually came to be, nor do I really care at this point. It seems to me that it sounds a little like the old adage - "Those who can't do - teach." I have spent a great deal of time listening and reading what thought leaders have to say. I think it is important to study the industry where you reside and to know the key players, as well as understand what success looks…

At a recent conference, a group was standing around and someone (who shall remain anonymous) bravely spoke up and stated a fact many of us have been feeling, thinking, and trying to figure out. "I really am tired of this whole social media thing." There was a bit of silence, but the nodding heads proved that many of us were in agreement.

When I was twenty-seven years old, my parents divorced. It was a difficult time, I thought my parents would always be together. But change happens, it is the one constant, right?

What is a Recreation Therapist?
A recreation therapist uses a variety of interventions to improve the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social needs of their clients. Recreational therapists assist clients to develop skill, knowledge and behaviors for daily living and community involvement. The therapist works with the client/patient and their family to incorporate specific interests and community resources into therapy to achieve optimal outcomes that transfer to their real life situation.
Research supports the notion that people with active, satisfying lifestyles will be happier and healthier. Recreational therapy provides services which are based on the individual's interests and lifestyle which allows them to better engage in therapy and apply these functional improvements to all areas of their life.
Recreational therapists must complete a minimum of a bachelor's degree in the field to meet national and state licensing requirements.
Certified Therapeutic Specialists (CTRS)
Certified Therapeutic Specialists are recognized in the regulation of I.D.E.A. (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). CTRS's utilize play, recreation and leisure activities to help develop functional skills, activities of daily living, and academic skill in the following domains:
- Cognitive: by increasing short and long learn memory; attention span; and decision making, problem-solving, and planning skills
- Physical: by improving perceptual motor skills, balance, agility, and athletic skills
- Behavioral: by increasing the ability to make age-appropriate activity/participation choices in inclusive community settings, and by decreasing self-stimulating stereotypic, self abusive, or other non-adaptive or inappropriate behaviors
- Social: by increasing skills in conversation, assertiveness, cooperation, sharing, and competition
- Affective: by improving emotional health through the reduction of depression, stress and anxiety, and increasing self-concept, self esteem and adjustment to their disability.
CRTS's typically work with a variety of professionals on a team to develop appropriate activities. Individual assessments are done to determine the needs and abilities of the individuals. Activities are used to promote health, growth development, and independence through self rewarding leisure pursuits.

(WMC-TV) - Steven Askew's family is asking for an independent investigation into why he was shot and killed by Memphis police as he was visiting his girlfriend.
His family also said the 24-year-old had his whole life in front of him.
"Yes, he lawfully possessed a weapon and permit to carry a weapon," said Askew family attorney Howard Manis.
On Jan. 17, Memphis police were called to the Windsor Place Apartments because of loud noise.
Officers found Askew slumped over the wheel of his car.
When they approached him, officers said Askew pointed a gun at police.
The two officers then shot and killed him.
"In the video, based on the position the officers are in, there may be a question as to whether or nor they followed protocol in how they approached the vehicle," Manis continues.
Attorney Howard Manis said new eyewitness video has surfaced since the shooting.
He said in the video, three additional shots were fired after the initial shooting.
"The actions of the officers involved can only be characterized as a callous and reckless indifference for the life and rights of a law abiding citizen of Memphis," added Manis.
The two Memphis police officers involved in this shooting are still off the job without pay pending the outcome of the investigation.
The officers involved in this shooting are 30-year-old Ned Aufdenkamp and 31-year-old Matthew Dyess.
Officer Aufdenkamp is currently assigned to the Mt. Moriah Station and has been employed by the Memphis Police Department since July of 2007.
Officer Dyess is also assigned to the Mt. Moriah Station and has been employed by the Memphis Police Department since June of 2010.

Supposedly due to her "difficult reputation."

Plus, Frank Ocean hung out with Karl Lagerfeld in Paris.
It won't be shown in the fashion show broadcast.
The strangest ladies' restroom on the planet at the sexiest fashion show on earth.
She showed up at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show with a bob and bangs.
Like helping her uncle, congressman Fred Upton, get reelected.
Plus, Karlie Kloss wears a big red cape on the cover of Vogue China.
And is now tweeting from the gym, obviously.

In triathlon, a prolonged fumble with your shoes, wet suit or helmet can bump you from finishing on the podium down to midpack—no matter how well you swam, biked and ran. "The most important thing is simplicity," says Nicole DeBoom, an Ironman champion and founder of SkirtSports athletic wear. "The less stuff you have, the fewer things you have to sort through and worry about. Take one small bag—no giant duffle—with only the essentials." Then follow her tips.
Get Organized In your transition area, lay out a small towel and arrange your gear on it according to sport. At the top, put your running shoes, socks (if you wear them), race belt, hat and any nutrition products you'll take with you for the run. Next, in the middle, position your cycling shoes (if they're not clipped to your pedals—see "Shoe Your Bike," below). At the bottom of the towel, place anything you might need in transition, such as antacids and gels.
Stack and Rack Prepare your bike as if it were a pack mule, with necessities in easy-to-access places. Tape gels to the top tube, have your bottles filled and caged, and stash a spare tube and CO2 in your seat pack. "Then rack your bike by the saddle with the handlebar facing out," DeBoom says. "Place your helmet on the bar faceup with your opened glasses placed inside. When you come into the first transition, put your glasses on first, then your helmet. Grab your bike and go."
Shoe Your Bike This one takes practice, but is well worth the extra effort. Clip your shoes to your bike. After you cross the mount line out of transition, jump onto your bike cyclocross-style: Run alongside it, hands on the bar, and hop up on the saddle, bringing your feet on top of the shoes. As you reach cruising speed, coast and slip your feet into the shoes, then cinch the straps down. Near the end of the bike leg, loosen the straps and slip your feet out of the shoes coming back into transition.
Grease Your Kicks If you don't wear socks, De-Boom suggests sprinkling a little baby powder inside your shoes to help your sweaty feet slide into them smoothly. "I also smear a dab of Vaseline around the top of the inside of my running shoes to further ease entry and prevent chafing," she says.
Stuff on the Run Grab what you need and dash through T2. It's more efficient to toss on your hat, strap on your fuel belt and stuff gels into your back pocket while you're trotting out of transition than it is to stand in front of your rack. "The key is to keep moving," says DeBoom.
See It Happen Dreaming of winning can help you race better. "Visualization is a very important part of the transition process," DeBoom says. "Play it through your mind as part of your race preparation, so when you get there, it'll all be automatic."

You are here
Through the generosity of individual, corporate, and foundation donors, Columbia Business School offers full- and partial-tuition fellowships to a number of exceptionally gifted students based on a variety of criteria, including academic excellence, geographic and personal background, and professional experience.
There is no separate application for merit-based fellowships; the School identifies those MBA applicants who demonstrate outstanding potential. To be considered for fellowships, prospective students must complete their applications for admission to the full-time Columbia MBA Program by the merit fellowship consideration deadline and indicate that they would like to be considered for fellowships. If you are awarded a fellowship, you will receive a status change email from the Admissions office with information about your award and whether or not it is renewable for your second year. Only August-entry MBA students are considered for merit-based fellowships in the first year.
Merit-Based Fellowship Descriptions
Highlighted below are some of the numerous Columbia Business School's fellowships offered.
Columbia Fellows
Columbia Business School rewards select entering students who have demonstrated the greatest potential to lead the world's enterprises. The recipients of this prestigious fellowship will have proven themselves to be innovators, leaders, and creative thinkers in their professional, academic, and extracurricular activities. The fellowship, which brings with it a partial-tuition award, is available for the first year of study only.
Board of Overseers Fellowship
The Board of Overseers Fellowship is awarded by the School's Board of Overseers to incoming students who exhibit exceptional academic and professional promise. The board is composed of nearly 100 accomplished men and women — each a global leader in one of a wide range of industries, from financial services to manufacturing to technology to the arts. The Board of Overseers Fellowship, which brings with it a partial-tuition award, is available for the first year of study only.
Meyer Feldberg Distinguished Fellowship Program
One of the School's most prestigious awards, the Feldberg Fellowship is given each year to select entering students who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership potential, as well as academic excellence. Ambitious and energetic, these entering students will have a proven record of success in areas as diverse as entrepreneurship, finance, military, and social enterprise. Selection as a Feldberg Fellow provides full tuition and lifelong membership in an elite group of similarly driven students, alumni, and donors.
Professor Meyer Feldberg '65 ended his 15-year tenure as dean of Columbia Business School in June 2004. Henry R. Kravis '69, founding partner of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and a member of the School's Board of Overseers, led an effort by alumni and supporters of the School to honor Professor Feldberg by establishing a $10 million fellowship program in his honor. Their gift ensures a continued tradition of leadership at Columbia Business School.
By their generosity, these donors — many of them leaders in their own fields who will serve as an ongoing resource to the Feldberg Fellows — underscored their dual commitment to Columbia Business School and excellence in business.
Professor Meyer Feldberg served as dean of Columbia Business School from 1989 to 2004. He is a director of Federated Department Stores, Inc., Primedia Inc., Revlon, Inc., Sappi Limited, Select Medical Corporation, and UBS Funds. Before joining Columbia, he served as dean of Tulane's A. B. Freeman School of Business and as president of the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Sponsors of the Meyer Feldberg Distinguished Fellowship Program
R. C. Kopf Fellowships
R. C. Kopf endowed the first R. C. Kopf Fellowship and the R. C. Kopf Professorship in International Marketing in 1980. A 1927 graduate of Columbia Business School, Kopf credited the School's international business focus for much of his professional success, including the establishment of the Kobrand Corporation. Today, Kopf's children and their spouses carry his commitment to enhancing the international character of Columbia Business School. Thanks to their generosity, the School offers several Kopf Fellowships each year to students with a demonstrated interest in international business.The Kopf Fellows are diverse and highly accomplished, not only in the academic realm but also in the breadth of personal and professional experience that they contribute to the School's community. French, British, Italian, and US citizens are eligible to be considered for the Kopf Fellowship.
Chief M. F. Lababidi Fellowship Fund
The Lababidi Family Foundation, based in Nigeria, has endowed the Chief M. F. Lababidi Fellowship Fund to provide financial support for study towards the School's MBA degree. In awarding the fellowship, the School will give preference to students who have lived, worked, or studied in Nigeria. More broadly, the fellowship is intended to support students from Africa.
Omar Lababidi, a 2007 alumnus of Columbia Business School and spokesperson for the Lababidi family said, "We are proud to support African students at Columbia, one of the world's leading business schools. Now more than ever, solid business and leadership skills are required to meet the demands of an increasingly global marketplace and to develop sustainable economic growth in Africa. My experience at Columbia was transformative, and we want to help future students benefit as well."
Professor Amir Ziv, vice dean and Samberg faculty director, said, "One of Columbia's great strengths is its global alumni network, and Mr. Lababidi epitomizes the commitment of our alumni to the School. We are very appreciative of the Lababidi family's generosity in providing this fellowship to future students from the African continent."
The fellowship is based on student merit and awarded to enrolled students at Columbia Business School.
Ela Lemelbaum Scholarship
The Ela Lemelbaum Scholarship provides financial support to Columbia Business School students from Israel. The scholarship is awarded with special consideration given to students living in Israel or those who have studied at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya, Israel.
The Ela Lemelbaum Scholarship, a US $15,000 award, partially covers tuition costs for one year and is renewable for the second year of study provided strong academic standards are achieved. Students under consideration for the Lemelbaum Scholarship may be contacted to submit additional materials.
Project Charity Trust Fellowship
The Project Charity Trust (PCT) Fellowship Program provides financial assistance to admitted Columbia Business School students from the European Union. Assistance is awarded to students who have not only demonstrated past success in academic and professional endeavors but also a significant commitment to philanthropy. The PCT Fellowship aims to create a community of people dedicated to improving the lives of others. Special consideration is giving to those students who are pursuing career plans in Europe. This fellowship is funded by PCT, a charitable trust under the law of England and Wales, and is administered jointly by Columbia Business School and the PCT Fellowship Committee.
The PCT Fellowship covers partial tuition for one year and is renewable for the recipient's second year of study provided strong academic standards are achieved. European Union citizens are eligible for the PCT Fellowship.
Second-Year Fellows Program
The Second-Year Fellows Program awards second-year students who have achieved academic excellence and contributed significantly to the Columbia Business School community. Candidates will be evaluated by a School committee, and selected students will receive funding toward their spring tuition for the second year. The Second-Year Fellows Program is awarded by the Office of Student Affairs. The top 10 percent of the class (based on academic ranking) will be invited to apply in October.

On our profile page it lists how many upvotes and downvotes we've handed out. What I'd also find interesting is to see how many votes of each type we've received. Is that possible?
I don't see why this couldn't be possible. There already is a very long-way-around for this by going through your reputation list and keeping track of all the numbers there and adding them up...but also this wouldn't track things that were deleted. |
Your reputation is basically this, summarized as a single number. I don't think we want to show upvote / downvote received count, as it will lead to heartache and more support emails than we already get. |

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M volleyball team officially reports to campus Tuesday afternoon in preparation of the 2012 season and the Aggies' inaugural campaign in the Southeastern Conference. The team will attend meetings and a team dinner on the first day before participating in a run test Wednesday morning followed by its first preseason practice later that afternoon at Reed Arena.
"This is always a really exciting time because it is the time of year that volleyball coaches and athletes live for," said Laurie Corbelli, who is entering her 20th season as head coach of the Aggies and the 26th year of her overall head coaching career. "They have been preparing all spring and summer both physically and strategically and in so many other ways for this day."
Corbelli, who will be going for the 500th victory of her head coaching career and her 400th A&M victory in her 20th season at the helm of the Aggies in the team's season opener on August 24, will welcome 18 athletes to training camp.
She returns 10 letterwinners – including four starters plus the libero -- from last year's team that went 23-8 and reached the second round of the NCAA tournament. She also welcomes one transfer and seven highly touted freshmen who represent the 20th-ranked recruiting class in the nation.
"There are two things that come to my mind about this group," Corbelli said. "One is the influx of new talent and just the youth. They are really excited to be here yet kind of naïve about what it is going to be like. They have so much to offer this program. They are really a big part of this program not only because there are seven of them, but because of their ability. They are going to be important to us this year, and they will be a huge class for us in the coming years.
"And the other part that comes to mind is just knowing the talent that we return. Having a returning starting setter, returning opposite, returning middles, an outside, a libero, it is pretty much a full squad returning and they are pretty hungry."
Lindsey Miller, a 6-2 middle blocker who received All-America honorable mention distinction last year and has started every match during her career, highlights a solid and experienced senior class. Alisia Kastmo, a 6-4 opposite who earned All-Big 12 first team honors last year, 5-10 outside hitter Tori Mellinger and libero Megan Pendergast also are returning senior starters, and fifth-year 6-2 senior middle Stephanie Minnerly, who has starting experience, completes the senior class.
Junior two-year starter Allie Sawatzky, a 6-2 lefty, returns at the setter position after earning AVCA All-Central Region honorable mention last year. Junior outside hitters Heather Reynolds (6-0) and Ashley Vrana (5-11) will be competing for the vacancy left by the graduation of All-American honorable mention Kelsey Black. Defensive specialist Kelsey Kinley and setter Mariah Agre, who transferred to A&M in January, round out the junior class, while defensive specialist Hannah Hood is the lone sophomore on the squad.
"In between the seniors and freshmen is a group of athletes who have spent two years focusing on strength and conditioning with one of the top coaches in the country – Raychelle Ellsworth – and training every day competing for spots," Corbelli said. "The improvements that they made in the spring were really remarkable, Vrana and Reynolds in particular. We had a spring that once we got rolling, we had a great rhythm and great chemistry, and the team was doing some really top-level things on the court."
The freshman class provides a plethora of young talent at nearly every position, including 6-1 middles Jazzmin Babers, Darby Graff and Shelby Sullivan, as well as 6-2 middle/outside hitter Shelbi Vaughan. Angela Lowak (6-0) and Sierra Patrick (5-10), who both teamed with Babers to win the 2011 USA Volleyball Junior National Champion 17 Open Division, will be competing for an outside hitter position, and Kate Praslicka will provide depth as a defensive specialist and setter.
"These freshmen have been competing against each other in high school and in club ball for many years as some of the top talent in Texas and in the nation," Corbelli said. "I think they are all expecting to break into the lineup at some point this season. They have that expectation of themselves to contribute a lot and compete hard every day."
In addition to the large number of newcomers, the team will be facing new opponents this season as the Aggies enter their first season as members of the SEC.
"Everything about the season seems so new, not only with the large number of newcomers, but the schedule is relatively brand new as well," Corbelli said. "Missouri is the only team we are familiar with, having played them regularly over the last few years, so we have a new conference, new cities to travel to and so many new faces that it just kind of feels so fresh and it gives you a whole different outlook. It is going to be challenging as coaches; however, it is going to make our team that much better, and that is what I am most looking forward to."
The Aggies open the season with the Texas A&M Invitational, Aug. 24-25 at Reed Arena.

Adorable, inquisitive and soft, rabbits require proper handling as well as housing that is spacious enough to allow regular exercise and activity. As there are different types of rabbit housing available, such as rabbit cages and hutches, it's important to choose the one that's best for your pet rabbit. For housing your rabbits outdoors, there are bunny and rabbit hutches, and for housing your rabbits indoors, there are various types of bunny cages. There is also a starter kit for beginners, such as the Super Pet My First Home Complete Kit for Rabbits, which comes complete with a wire cage, bedding, a water bottle, a food dish, treats and a chew treat. Rabbit cages and hutches are to be large enough to comfortably accommodate your pet rabbit, allowing him to move about freely, exercise and play. Regular exercise is important for rabbits as it helps to promote muscle tone and prevent lethargy. While there are two-story bunny and rabbit hutches that allow for more play and exercise, there are also hutches that have an attached enclosed play yard. Promote good health for your rabbit with spacious cages and rabbit hutches.
In addition to rabbit play yards, there are rabbit runs that allow your pet bunnies to play outside of their rabbit hutches while being safely contained by mesh paneling. As with most play yards, rabbit runs can also be conveniently attached to bunny hutches. For use indoors, there are rabbit cages that are spacious enough to allow for regular activity and frequent exercise. There are also playpens designed for small animals that allow them to roam freely and explore within a designated area of your home, while ensuring their safety from potential household hazards. For easy cleaning, many rabbit cages are equipped with a slide-out pan and a removable floor grid. Providing your rabbit with a solid surface to rest, such as a straw mat, can help him be more comfortable living within a cage with a wire floor as it helps his feet rest.
Regardless of whether you have a rabbit cage inside your home or a pair of rabbit hutches outside, it is important that you house your rabbit in a well-ventilated area that allows proper air circulation. From many spacious rabbit cages that have two levels to the townhouse or cottage-style hutches available, you're bound to find to the right accommodations for your pet rabbit.

6 Questions from the Community
Does this mean that the faucet can be used for regular water and then switched to deliver filtered water. Thus eliminating the need for two faucets. Does it also deliver regular hot water
can this be used with a reverse osmosis water filtration system
can this faucet be used with a reverse osmosis system
So what type of filter system is compatable with this faucet?
Does the faucet have a filter in it to provide filtered water? If so, do you need to purchase filters and how often?
Do you have to use the filtration system feature? Can you use another make of filtration? Do you have any discount coupons I can use?

I've been working on this dress for quite some time. I got the fabric a while ago on sale at JoAnns and didn't know what to use it for but I knew that it had to be mine. I love the vintage look of the tea roses. A few weeks later I was browsing for patterns when I found the Simplicity 2444 pattern. It's a really pretty pattern and I was pleased to see that it's relatively easy to follow! I was nervous at first to attempt to sew pockets but following to instructions I had no trouble! I ended up wearing this dress to my highschool's Spring Fling dance. I went with two of my good friends and had a great night. I am always so grateful that I have amazing friends who like it that I sew my own clothes! Plus a huge thank you to MacKenzie for curling my hair and being my best friend in the world.

Love and Learn from Thy Neighbor
Mark Greenberg Last month when Maya, the E-Zine editor, emailed me to tell me that I had the honor of writing this month's staff piece, I was excited. I thought that a topic like "Jewish-Christian Relations" would lead me to a cornucopia of interesting topics. At first I thought about writing a brief history of the two religions, but I didn't want to bore everyone. Then I thought I would write something humorous, but couldn't think of a politically correct conclusion to the timeless classic, "Two Jews and a Christian walk into a bar…" With the deadline slowly approaching and piles of crumpled paper building up on the floor, I looked for some inspiration. I turned to the big guy upstairs and asked for some help. I said, "Rich (Director of KOACH), got any ideas?" and he sure did. One idea that really caught my attention was that college is a great opportunity for open dialogue between groups of people. When else in a person's life time will they have a chance to be able to sit with peers who are generally interested in the knowledge they bring and not have any alternative motive? Where else can you be in a relatively safe and uninhibited environment and talk freely about yourself?
I remember that after my first week of college my mother called to see how I was doing. The only thing I could think of to say to her was "Mom, there are goyim here and some of them don't have sense of humor." She chuckled, but told me that as time goes on I would learn a lot from my new Christian friends (and find ones with a sense of humor). I hate to admit it, but Mom was right. As my time in college went on, I learned a lot from my Christian friends. I learned that our two respective religions have many philosophical teachings in common, not just because Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. It was interesting to learn the background to the very distinct differences between us, to know what the rational and theoretical thoughts behind these differences are. I was also fortunate enough to sit down and learn the ideas and reasoning behind the many similarities our two religions share. I will also admit that it gave me a chance to look inside myself and see what I believe and how strongly I am committed to my faith and ideas. I invite you, the readers of the KOACH E-Zine, to do the same thing and perhaps take it a step further. Instead of going out one evening, why not invite some friends, particularly those who are devoted to other religious beliefs, over for some pizza and just start talking. As I wrote above, there will probably never be another opportunity in your life when you can do just a free thinking night with people from all kinds of backgrounds. You may even want to design some programming involving different religious groups on your campus so all can learn from one another. Many campuses have used the Hamantashen-Latke debate as a way of bringing the Jewish and Christian communities together for a fun and spirited afternoon event. I think this is a great idea, because it allows us to poke a little fun at ourselves and invites our non-Jewish friends to get a glimpse into some holidays they rarely hear about. When I was an undergrad, our Hillel was fortunate enough to get the local Bishop to participate in the debate and he had a whole lot of fun with it. Consider that tzedek doesn't just mean social justice for us alone; it means social justice for the world at large. Help out with a church's clothing or food drive. Help remember Dr. Martin Luther King Junior's dream of equality for all persons, without regard for skin color, gender, religious belief, or cultural background, by participating in a memorial service. There are so many possibilities for events that will not only help us grow, but also further the dream that we are able to live cooperatively with people from all beliefs and backgrounds.

Politician. Born June 17, 1932, in New Martinsville, West Virginia. John Patrick Murtha's family had a deep military history; his great-grandfather served in the Civil War and his father and three uncles in World War II. In 1962, Murtha received a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Pittsburgh. He then completed graduate courses at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
In 1966, as the Vietnam war escalated, Murtha volunteered for active duty in the Marines, joining his brothers in the military. Wounded twice, he was awarded two Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. Upon his return to the United States, he entered politics. In 1969, he was elected to the Pennsylvania House. He served in Pennsylvania until 1974, when he was appointed to the U.S. House of Representatives in a special election to fill a vacancy caused by the death of GOP Rep. John P. Saylor.
Murtha served in the House until his death in 2010. During his time in office, Murtha chaired the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee. He also became a critic of the Iraq war, calling it unwinable. He pushed the Bush administration to commit more troops and resources.
The congressman died on the afternoon of February 8, 2010, in the Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Virginia, after complications from gall bladder surgery.
Murtha and his wife, Joyce, lived in Washinton, D.C. with their three children until his death in 2010.

Eagle Scouts
Incorporated in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America was founded with the aim of instilling ethics and morals into the lives of young boys. A Scout is a "trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent," boy who, above all, strives to "be prepared" and "do his best." The highest order of these Boy Scouts are the Eagle Scouts, a rare group of young men who rise through the scouting ranks to earn 21 merit badges, serve for six months in a troop leadership position, and successfully complete a strict Eagle Scout board of review, among other requirements.
The first Eagle Scout to complete this training was 17-year-old Arthur R. Eldred, on September 2, 1912. Since then, more than 2 million Boy Scouts have earned the coveted rank. Here are some of the most famous of the honorable young men who made it to the top of the Boy Scouts program.Eagle Scouts 26 people in this group

I think it should be left up to the doctor. Government shouldn't be legislating things like this. If a doctor wants to require that their patients listen to a heartbeat, then that is perfectly fine with me. In all honesty, before a women choses an abortion, she should probably be shown these things. It isn't invasive and just gives a little education. I'm not advocating the things that were being talked about in Virginia. Just a simple scan and listening to the heartbeat is all that is necessary. If I was a doctor, I would be giving women all the information possible. It is a big choice that could affect the rest of their lives. If they still chose that they would want to abort their pregnancy, then that is their right.
But, the government shouldn't require it.
