Finally getting around to reviewing this one, maybe a few months too late; oh well. Served from the 12 ounce into a Duvel Tulip.
Fat head on this 'un, thick and leaves lots of little sandy lace. Brew is heavy looking tangerine. Big malt nose, smells a lot like the Southern Hemisphere for malt - hops are bright and West Coast, but more citrus and sharp than pine / aromatic. Rather restrained overall, but sharp and slightly boozy.
Taste is above average, solid malt here, rich enough to carry the loads of IBUs across your palate and finishes solidly sticky-sweet and quite bitter. Slight orange flavor. Not the biggest fan of the profile here, it's abrasive and rough, but there is really nothing "off" - subjectively, this is not my DIPA. The warming booze is bothersome and the thick, sharp carbonation just heightens the effect.
Beer Camp DIPA is really not bad, but in the extremely competitive world of double IPAs it has a hard time of it. Lately I've been wanting more balance and less hop-assault.
I wouldn't turn it down, but I'd also take a Torpedo before this again.

Last of the Beer Camp series for me.Poured into a nonic clear light to medium golden with a rather large white head that left multiple broken rings of lace as it settled into a soapy-like mass.Alot of sweet caramel and sweet alcohol in the nose it nearly outshines the grapefruit rind hop aromas,it gets a little boozy as it sits more.Big caramle sweetness at the onset flavor wise,a little sugary sweetness that comes with alot of the beers of the style,what makes this beer good is a big rush of grapefruit-like hops in the finish,and its big.Its big and sweet but the hops finally come in to make this a pretty good beer.

Pours into my snifter a slightly hazy golden orange with a nice two fingers of creamy head. Aromas of citric and resinous piney hops upfront along with some spiciness. Hoppy and inviting.
First sip brings a big semi-sweet malt body upfront with a punch of citric and pine laden hops. Grassy, spicy and a bit resinous...it rolls down with a biting bitterness and just enough malty sweetness on the finish. Tasty.
Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Great body and carbonation on this one. I really enjoyed the Beer Camp series and am glad I grabbed a 12 pack. Cheers to Sierra Nevada!

In a tulip this beer was a hazy orange color, and was nicely carbonated. A medium-sized white head left a bit of lace.
Sweet malt aroma. Citrus and herbal hops.
Grapefruit taste, some pineapple also. Resiney pine taste.Sweet bready taste.
Pretty well balanced between the hops and the malt.
I'll drink it again, given the chance,

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with a medium creamy head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is pretty subdued for a DIPA - some sweet grainy biscuit malt and crystal malt and a little floral cascade hops.
The flavor is sweet biscuity malt and a touch of fruit with a good amount of oily harsh bitterness in the finish but not much hop flavor. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a big disappointment from Sierra Nevada. Very subdued in the nose, with a lot of plain bitterness with no good hop flavor. I've made better DIPAs than this.

12 ounce bottle, from the box...pours lighter then expected, almost golden amber, dull and lightly hazed. Off white head, that stays, goes all puffy and pillowy, leaves a load of very fine, scattered and high quality looking lace. Good head.
Pungent hopped up nose, earthy, musty, pine infused.
Very easy drinking for 8.5%, elements of big malty underpinnings and solid hoppy flourishes combine for a quality, if slightly underwhelming DIPA.
Good but not really blowing me away.

Pured into pint glass. Pours a copper/gold color. Single finger head with some residual lacing.
Smells clearly of hops. It's a double IPA, so that's probably a pretty obvious statement.
taste is pretty smooth upfront with some floral notes. Bitterness really comes through as the beer moves across the sides and back of your tongue. The 8.5% abv is decently hidden.
Overall, it's a decent beer. I'm not a huge IPA fan, but I find it drinkable. Not the type of beer I would want on a daily basis, but certainly worth the try.

Note: I reviewed this on 5/8/11 under the old listing for this beer before everything was fixed.
Best of Beer Camp #29: Double IPA (Ghidorah)
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint. Bottled on 1099 (April 9, 2011)
Appearance: Slightly hazy gold with foamy stark white head and nice lacing rings.
Smell: Toasted malts, pine and light citrus. Smells bitter.
Taste: Toasted and caramel malt backbone is quickly overwhelmed by spicy, pine-like bitterness, with some orange citrus and tropical fruit notes.
Feel: Fairly full, smooth body with moderate carbonation and an extremely dry finish.
Overall: Pretty damn bitter DIPA. I definitely like it, but a more fully formed flavor profile could have helped offset the bitterness. Reminds me a little of Ruination - another one I respect and like more than truly love.

Bottle (2011)
Oceanside, CA
Golden orange and yellow amber with haze running throughout the beer. Bits of sediment float to the bottom of the glass and hang perpetually in the beer. Big head and lots of sticky lacing.
A relatively sweet and somewhat hoppy aroma. There's some elements of honey and lemon as well as citrus and pine aromas.
A relatively simple DIPA with a touch of sweetness. This one doesn't hit you over the head with bitterness either. It actually seems quite balanced without any hint of the high alcohol content.
Medium bodied. Ample carbonation.
A good, somewhat simple, and not overly bitter DIPA.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass.
Appearance: Bright golden orange with lots of bubbles. Good sized two finger white head that has very good retention and lacing.
Smell: Big aroma of piney and citrus hops with a good amount of grapefruit and other citrus fruits. Hops have a lightly spiced aroma. Light aroma of caramel malts.
Taste: Much like it smells. Big taste of pine and citrus hops up front giving a strong bitterness. Grapefruit and other citrus fruits help back it up with a decent amount of fruity sweetness. Light taste of caramel and toffee malts in the background.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Smooth and somewhat creamy.
Overall: A very good DIPA. A good mix of strong hops gets the taste close to the level of Hopslam and Double Trouble.

Sierra Nevada Beer Camp: Double IPA.
When I poured it I know this was going to be a sticky one. It smelled DANK! The cannabis quality that I always associate with Simcoe. There is a little grapefruit, but mostly it just smells like bud. The beer is very pale, golden in color and slightly hazy with an inch and a half of foam when poured into my snifter. The foam slowly subsides all the while leaving thin intricate lacing on the sides of the glass. The beer is sticky, resinous, and very bitter. The hops are oily and the bitterness hammers on past the swallow. There is a little bit of malt sweetness, but I find the hops to be overpowering and too sloppy. They don't have that crisp, sharp flavor of the better DIPA's but just this long drawn out, drying bitterness like having a dull knife stabbing and then slowing tearing a gash in your leg--unlike the sharp, precise incision by the surgical scalpel of Pliny. Overall, this was a good but not great beer. Worth a try if you see it on the shelves, but not worth any special effort.

Pours the usual copper and auburn color for many of Sierra Nevada's hoppy beers. Good head on it, almost 1" deep, something nice for something so hoppy.
Aroma, usual cascade stuff going on. While nice, I think I've gotten so use to uber dry hopping with the proprietary hops, that this one, which was still good, just didn't blow me away enough I guess to warrant a 4.
Taste, as usual, Sierra Nevada hides the alcohol well, delivers a ton of C hops, lots of caramel. Kind of sad in a way how good this is, and it just kinda meets expectations, but I guess that's how it goes when you're the innovator and leader. Managed to get lots of tropical fruit flavors in there, making me think maybe there is a little more going on than the C hops, (well Citra is a C hop, but I use C hop in the more traditional, non proprietary hop vein) and this does taste like Citra is a possibility that I didn't think of when getting the aroma.
Mouthfeel is so much more than just bitterness, its a soft bitterness allowing all the other aspects be it fruit or caramel to shine, and yet not bog the palate down with heft either.

4.72/5 rDev +21%
Glowing orange semi clouded body with a full thicket of creamy slihgtly off white head. Forms beautiful fine intricately dispersed lacing downt he sides of my favorite chalice glass. Aroma brings out ripened fruit layers which divide into a realm of citric grapefruit acidity and mango tropical pineapple fructose. Amongst the big fruity hop components the grain and yeast breathe an air of fresh breadiness across my nares. Inviting invigorating aroma really strengthens the early stages of trying a beer, dive into the first sip to find out how you really feel. This is actually getting better with a touch of age, the aggressive citric rind bitterness is just starting to mellow. Allowing my palate to fully understand the depth of what's going on here in my glass. Extremely juicy fruit bursts blare with a cleansing layer of bittering hops cleaning the palate, the upfront tropical pineapple/mango fireworks are yin and the citric abrasive pith of the grapefruit and crushed aspirin become the yang. A full range of flavors in one glass, excellent DIPA from one of my all time favorite go to breweries in the United States. They don't brew off of trends but they develop recipes by listening to the beer community and in turn tend to set their own trends. Alcohol does arise in the flavorscape but doesn't overpower it actually fits right into the balancing act between sweet booze versus abrasive bittering West Coast agressive hop nature. Mouthfeel is actually a range as well strts off light with a bit of juice or something easy to get down with the backend of the palate really sensing the bitter abrasives with each sip this really makes a great complimentary experience. Hop burps tend to become strong with hop oils and a bit fusel with the extra alcohol, tis the nature of this style. Overall I can't say go try this beer camp and other future offerings from Sierra Nevada enough. Pure excellence this time around, with a bit of mellowed bitterness this beer is really drinking great.

12oz undated bottle poured into a pint glass.
A - This Double IPA pours a clear golden amber color with a white head of foam that quickly settles to a top coat and ring, and leaves some good lacing on the sides.
S- nice aroma featuring citrus, piney and floral hops with a substantial rich toasted malt backbone. Slightly earthy and herbal. High ABV not apparent.
T- Strong grapefruit, orange and pine flavored hops with an underlying malt backbone that tames the hops a little but doesn't block the strong hop flavor and medium-high bitterness. Even as a hop-head, I found this brew near the challenging level but found it makes a good sipper. Some more malt balance comes through in the aftertaste which is both hoppy and malty with moderated bitterness.
M- medium body; low carbonation that ran out before I got to the bottom of the glass; some astringency (from hops?)
O - a very good DIPA worth trying, even if you must buy the mix camp to get it. This will get you 9 bottles of other types of Sierra Nevada -- not a bad thing!

This beer pours a slightly cloudy yellow with a thick floffy light yellow head. The head fades very slowly, leaving a thick lace.
This beer has a very floral aroma too it. It also has a nice cascade grapefruit aroma. I can also detect a slight piney aroma.
This beer tastes much like it smells. Floral hops with some grapefruit. It has a very slight sweet malty taste to it as well. It tastes slightly syrupy though.
This beer is full bodied. It leaves a sweet syrupy aftertaste.
This beer wouldnt make a great session beer. It is high in alcohol, and the flavor is a bit much.
Overall: This beer was ok. It isnt exactly the best Double IPA I have had. Kind of syrupy. But not awfull either.

into a Delirium tulip.
Appearance is a nice bright clear golden color with a thick bubbling off white head that fades to sticky lacing.
Aroma is lots of pine, grapefruit, herbal, grassy, and a light bread like malt smell.
Tastes are again lots of pine, resinous hops, some lemon zest, pepper, orange and grapefruit citrus, coriander, subtle alcohol, and a light biscuit flavor followed by a lot of bitterness.
Mouthfeel is crisp, medium, and extremely bitter.
Overall is really good and is my last of this style from the 12 pack. I might have to get more.

Bottle from the mixed 12-pack purchased from Green's on Ponce in Atlanta.
Pours a clear deep copper color with a cream-colored head leaving decent lacing.
Smells of grainy pale malts with large amounts of deep citrus, pine, and herbal hops.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Moderately dry pale malt flavors up front are joined by large pine and herbal hops. The hops soften midway through the sip with the addition of slight earthy and citrus flavors, leading to a solidly bitter ending. Mouthfeel is very good, with grainy carbonation.
Overall I enjoyed this beer but the hops weren't quite nuanced enough to put it up in the upper tier. Still, another solid beer from SN and one that's well worth a shot.

ST: 12oz poured into an oversized wine glass.
A: An opaque dense copper with a thick white head that has nice retention. It leave thick lacing as it is consumed.
S: Strong grapefruit, pine, bubblegum, and orange.
T: Some malt that is quickly devoured by hops. Grapefruit, orange, and pine needles: very bitter.
M: Medium and dry.
O: Another solid offering from Sierra Nevada, this double IPA has a great aroma of citrus and pine. The taste has a hint of malt, but the flavors from the hops rule this beer (as they should). It is very bitter and lasts on the tongue: this is a dream beer for a hop head.

(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer pours a clear bright copper body with a good carbonation and a thick bubbly beige head that sticks to the glass with each sip.
S- The earthy woody green hops is soft with some fruity aromas follow and a finish of green citrus pith.
T- The pungent woody green hops turns a touch soapy as the beer warms up and a green grapefruit pith finishes the taste. The finish takes on a bitey hop bitterness and a dandelion bitterness lingers after each sip.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a soft alcohol heat that enhances the bitterness with just a touch of fizz to follow.
O- This beer has big hops but they are dark and very bitter which overpowers the hop flavor. The bitterness lingers on and on aswell.

Nice big off white head rest above a clear bubbly carbonated golden colored IPA.
Citrus hops dominate the aroma with added whiffs of pine, and light bread or bread yeast.
The taste is light citrus hops than I had noticed in the aroma, but still the citrus hops overshadow everything less going on. A light fresh bread or bread yeast comes through just slightly which adds to the taste.
A nice lasting light dry aftertaste stay with you after finishing off a bottle of this stuff.
I love IPA's and this is another pretty good representative of the style, get yourself a beer camp sampler 12 pack before they're gone.

A nice light amber pour with a 1 inch creamy head. No question about the hops in this one. Right after opening the bottle, the aroma hit the room. I've been using this Sam Adams Beer glass that is perfect for picking up all the traits in a beer. The hoppiness of this Double IPA came through loud and clear. There was not a lot of malt/barley in this one as compared to some other Double IPAs I have had.
The hop bitterness came through with each sip. Not over the top, but just enough to hit all the bitter parts of the tongue.
The finish was as nice as the start, which I love in any beverage.
I can always pick up so many different flavors/spices/etc in the wines that I taste, but with beers, it is taking me a bit longer.
If anything, I found a little citrus in this one, perhaps just a hint of grapefruit...
A perfect addition to a nice night around a camp fire during the summer!

The Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills will clash on Sunday afternoon in creaky Ralph Wilson Stadium with playoff implications on the line.
For Miami, the game is almost a must-win. The Dolphins sit at 8-6 and are currently seventh in the AFC but tied record-wise for sixth with the Baltimore Ravens, who hold the tiebreaker based on their win over Miami earlier this season. The Dolphins have won four of their last five and if they win out, need only a loss from Baltimore or the Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs.
Buffalo is simply playing out the string at 5-9. The Bills are putting their fans through another tough season, not having made the postseason since 1999. It's the longest such streak in the NFL, mostly due to bad personnel decisions.
Meet the Dolphins
Miami is not the most explosive offensive team in the world, but they get the job done. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill is quietly putting together a nice campaign in his second season, throwing for 3,627 yards, 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The picks are a bit high, but Tannehill has been under constant pressure.
The Achilles heel of this unit is the offensive line, which is possibly the worst in football. Without Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito, the line features two reserves and has allowed a staggering 51 sacks, most in the NFL. The line is also a big reason the running game has sputtered, with Lamar Miller leading the team at only 628 yards.
Defensively, the Dolphins rank 16th in yards allowed. Their specialty is getting to the quarterback, coming in seventh with 41 sacks on the year, led by Olivier Vernon's 11.5. Vernon doesn't have a household name yet, but he is becoming a force in the front seven along with Cameron Wake.
Meet the Bills
Buffalo is a team with talent, but still a group that is struggling to find its way. Much of that inconsistency has to do with the quarterback position, which has seen E.J. Manuel, Jeff Tuel and Thad Lewis get starts this season. Manuel -- the signal-caller of the future -- has thrown for 1,972 yards, 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also has a 58.8 completion percentage, showing potential for the Bills teams to come.
Around Manuel is a solid running game but little else. C.J. Spiller has come up strong as the season continues, gaining 745 rushing yards on 4.6 yards per carry. His partner in crime, Fred Jackson, has continued to be productive, amassing 725 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground.
Buffalo is even better than Miami at sacking the quarterback, pacing the NFL with 49 thanks to Mario Williams, Jerry Hughes and Kyle Williams. The trio has accounted for 29 of the sacks, at 12, 9, and 8, respectively. Rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso has also been a stud, leading the team with 137 tackles (11 for loss) and four interceptions.
Local take: Miami
Kevin Nogle of The Phinsider lays out how the Dolphins can clinch a playoff berth this weekend:
While the Dolphins are taking on the Bills, the Cincinnati Bengals will be hosting the Minnesota Vikings. For the Dolphins to claim the playoff berth, they will need the Vikings to leaving Ohio with a win.
Then, with a 4:25pm ET kickoff, the New England Patriots will visit the Baltimore Ravens. If New England, who the Dolphins beat this past weekend, were to come out on top of the defending Super Bowl champions, the Dolphins would lay claim to the final playoff spot.
Local take: Buffalo
Over at Buffalo Rumblings, the conversation has turned to the future and how the draft might shape up:
Buffalo fans and the organization itself should be in complete evaluation mode, preparing for the 2014 offseason by putting the current roster through their paces. By beating the Jaguars, Buffalo slipped at least one spot in the 2014 NFL Draft order with Tennessee moving into the top ten. Buffalo finds itself in a virtual tie with the New York Giants for the tenth spot in the draft.

Eliminated from playoffs, Buffalo #Bills will pick 10th in draft http://t.co/XjSNotXMWH
— Buffalo Rumblings (@BuffRumblings) December 16, 2013
Buffalo is never an easy place to play in December, especially for a warm-weather team like the Dolphins. It also does not help that the Bills have the best pass-rush in football and get to go against the worst offensive line in the NFL. This could be a very serious problem for Miami, who needs to win this game in all likelihood. I'll go with the Dolphins because they need to win so much more, but I do it with one eye open.
Pick: Miami 17, Buffalo 13
Miami is favored by 2.5 points on the road, with an over/under of 43, according to Oddsshark.com.

The Dolphins close out the regular season at home against the New York Jets while the Bills travel to play the New England Patriots.

Your views: The cost of childcare
Labour leader Ed Miliband has criticised the Government over the rising cost of childcare, claiming there is a "childcare crunch" affecting families.
Here are a selection of ITV News viewers' opinions on the subject:
– Jenny Collins
When Labour were in power, my kids were little. Childcare costs were higher than any wage I could have earned so I couldn't have afforded to work even if I wanted to, and that was under Labour!
– Lucy Smith
[It's] too expensive, I can't return to my job when my maternity is up because the cost for both my boys (both under three) is more than my part time wage! Ridiculous.
– Julie Dodds
I am a childminder and I would love to know where the 30% increase in costs figure came from, because no childminder that I know has put their fees up that much if at all since the election!

The Philadelphia Phillies have had a rough time with infielders this season. With Chase Utley still out and no return date set, 22-year-old rookie Freddy Galvis has manned second base. He's been decent defensively (1.1 dWAR), but his hitting (.226/.254/.363) has been... not good.
Rookie second baseman Freddy Galvis left the game during his at-bat in the fifth inning after suffering what the Phillies called lower back pain, which occurred on a swing.
His replacement will be someone who filled in quite a bit for the Phillies in 2011:
Freddy Galvis placed on 15-day DL with lower back strain. Michael Martinez recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.— Phillies (@Phillies) June 7, 2012
Offense? Not so much; Martinez hit just .196/.258/.282 in 209 at-bats for the Phillies in 2011, and has been on the shelf much of this season, with just 20 minor-league plate appearances.
But now the Phillies need him. You can bet Ruben Amaro Jr. is scanning the waiver wire this morning.

LED lighting
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), or electroluminescent diodes, are the optoelectronic components designed to emit light.
Some characteristics of LEDs:
- As opposed to a standard incandescent bulb, they don't use a filament
- They consume less electricity and have a longer life than incandescent bulbs
- LED technology allows for a multitude of shapes and colors
Petzl headlamps equipped with LEDs first appeared in 2000 (TIKKA headlamp).
Petzl headlamps use two types of LEDs:
- Cylindrical 5 mm and 3 mm diameter LEDs (ex: TIKKA, ZIPKA headlamps)
- High-output LEDs (ex: MYO XP, TIKKA XP headlamps)
Energy consumption
As opposed to standard incandescent bulbs, LEDs used in Petzl headlamps consume less electricity, from 0.2 to 3 W. This increases the burn time of our headlamps. Using the different lighting levels can help optimize electrical energy consumption. By choosing the strength of the beam, the quantity of light can be adapted to the activity and to lighting duration needs.
LEDs emit a smooth, white light. A light blue halo can be seen. For certain activities, a colored light can be useful for discreet lighting or for helping to maintain night vision. This can be achieved with filters or a color specific LED.
Lens characteristics
LEDs don't all have the same optic characteristics:
- Cylindrical, 5 mm diameter LEDs have an integrated lens. They don't require accessories.
- High output LEDs require an additional lens to concentrate the light LEDs emit a much more uniform light than incandescent bulbs. This is partly due to the absence of a filament in LEDs.
Electric power
Because of the way they function, LEDs are polarized (cathode and anode). Therefore, it is important to insert the batteries in the right direction. If they are inverted, the LEDs will not work. Lighting performance will vary considerably according to the source of energy used
Light output
When LEDs are powered at the levels defined the manufacturer, they generally have greater output than incandescent headlamps.
The lifetime of an LED has been defined as the time up to which its flux remains above 50 % of its original. For quality LEDs, this lifetime is close to 100000 hours at standard voltage and current values. Under these conditions, the light output then becomes very weak (for signal lighting, etc.).
With Petzl headlamps, the electric current is controlled, to provide a stronger lighting level. This allows an average lifetime of approximately 5000 continuous hours for LEDs.
With their molded, single capsule and their lack of a filament, 5 mm diameter LEDs are resistant to impacts and vibrations. Because of their design, high-output LEDs require additional protection from direct impacts. The lens can provide this function.

Associates went above and beyond to help. Very friendly. Will recommend this facility to others.Pamela from Desoto, TX
The people here are VERY GOOD !!! all has gone well thanksFred from Opelika, AL
I love the property and the staff and the price. I have used uncle bobs in the past and if I ever have a storage need, I will use them again.Trina from Arlington, TX
I've used storage rentals before. After shopping around online, I found Uncle Bob's to be one of a couple places that would work for me, but the only one that had the size space I wanted available when I needed it. Another place actually did have a single large space left, but this location was higher by an extra foot. I was also sold on the free moving truck with unit rental.Michele from Dallas, TX
Everything about my experience and service with Uncle Bob's has been fantastic. After struggling with other rental places it was a breath of fresh air to find a place that fit all my needs and with a service that had me leaving with a smile!Jacquelyn from Dallas, TX
Doreen is AWESOME! She's the reason this facility is what it is' I am at the location in Coppell on MacArthur. The woman never stops...and is warm, joyful and SO helpful! A GREAT employeeJudy from Irving, TX
They have always been there for me day or night, too help with anything I had to address be it after hours access to needing a second unit or even needing to move into a larger unit. They have always given me their full Attention in any matters I was able to come up with. I would definitely recommend their location to any of my family or friends / business associates. I mostly enjoyed their enthusiasm each time they saw or I saw them. My time there since they took over the location has been hands down the greatest professional experience I've ever encountered.Randel from Dallas, TX
Mel at the Richardson location was excellent! He helped me with all my needs.Eman from Dallas, TX
This is our first experience with a storage facility and will use Uncle Bobs wherever we are if we ever need another one.Kay from Dallas, TX
I have been into the office a number of times over the past few weeks to purchase moving supplies. Each time I was greeted and helped promptly with courtesy and product knowledge. I eventually ended up renting a unit due to an issue with my movers, and it was easy and quick. The service was stellar - very nice people.Lynn from Coppell, TX

Mozilla will be following in the footsteps of Apple's Safari, which also blocks third-party cookies by default. "The new Firefox policy is a slightly relaxed version of the Safari policy," said Mayer in an FAQ published on his personal blog.
Even so, at least one online ad official slammed Mozilla for making the change. "Firefox to block 3rd party cookies? This default setting would be a nuclear first strike against ad industry," said Mike Zaneis, general counsel for the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), on Twitter Saturday. The IAB is one of several advertising organizations that has been fighting other privacy moves by browser makers, including Microsoft's decision to set "Do Not Track" on by default in Internet Explorer 10 (IE10).
"Second strike, technically (Safari)," retorted Justin Brookman, director of consumer privacy at the Center for Democracy and Technology, also on Twitter.
All browsers, including Firefox, have settings that let users manually switch off all cookies, or refuse those from third-party sites. But only Safari currently blocks all third-party cookies by default. Safari's small share -- in January, Net Applications pegged it as just 5.2 percent -- was likely too low to trigger the online ad industry's concern. Firefox is a different beast: According to Net Applications, Firefox was the second-most-used browser last month, with a 19.9 percent share globally.
But Mozilla didn't view the change as a first strike of any kind, nuclear or otherwise, aimed at online advertising. "We are not trying to stop tracking with this feature," Mozilla's Dotzler said on the discussion thread Sunday. "We are trying to make tracking relationships more obvious to the user."
It would not in Mozilla's self-interest to disrupt the online ad industry, as it generates the bulk of its revenue from a deal with Google, which pays the browser maker a reported $300 million a year for setting Google's search engine as Firefox's default.
The Nightly build of Firefox for Windows, OS X and Linux can be downloaded from Mozilla's website.

Dolphins dodge raindrops on Thursday afternoon
The JU football team was able to get its two-hour workout in on Thursday afternoon despite a large thunderstorm that hit the campus around lunchtime.
After a period of individual work and a period of work as a unit, the Dolphins got down to business with a period of live work with the offense facing the defense. The importance of the live periods is underscored by getting the young defensive players action against the first-team offense.
"We really got after it during the live session today," said JU head coach Kerwin Bell. "It's good to see our young guys on defense getting some live snaps against our first-string offense. When they face receivers like Josh (Philpart), Larry (Thompson) and Elliott (Finkley), it's a learning experience for what a game is like.
"We're going to be counting on our young guys a lot this year, so we're trying to get them in as many game-like situations as possible."
TWO-A-DAY PREPS FOR SCRIMMAGE: Friday's two-a-day sessions will be important for the Dolphins as they lead up to the first preseason scrimmage on Saturday at Fletcher High School. Kickoff is set for Noon.
"These two practices are going to be important for everyone as we get into our gameday routine," Bell said. "We want the guys to get after it and correct a lot of things before the scrimmage, which will be a great evaluator of where we are at this point."
COMING TOMORROW: Look for a new "From the Press Box" on JUDolphins.com that will give you some things to watch for in Saturday's first scrimmage. There will also be a new Friday Fast Fact on Rudell Small and an injury report of who is in and who is out for the first scrimmage.
THE TURF IS DOWN! The new AstroTurf playing surface at D.B. Milne Field is nearing completion as the logos have been installed this week. There are some great pictures of the finished work now on the construction blog that you can click here to see on JUDolphins.com. Once the turf is completed, construction on the new Ron Autrey Family Track will begin.
SCRIMMAGE SCHEDULE SET: The Dolphins will hold a scrimmage the final three Saturdays of training camp, starting Aug. 14.
The first scrimmage will be held at Fletcher High School, starting at 1 p.m. The second will be on Aug. 21 at The Bolles School starting at 5 p.m. The final scrimmage will be on campus on Aug. 28 and will kickoff near 10 a.m.
The Aug. 28 scrimmage is also "Dolphin Day." Fans are encouraged to come out and take in the final preseason scrimmage as well as meet some of the Dolphins from the other sports. There will also be prizes and giveaways throughout the day. Admission is free.
SEASON TICKETS ON SALE: Season tickets are on sale for $60 with "The Grove" parking passes going for $60 as well. Visit JUDolphins.com/tickets or contact Nikki Swanson in the JU ticket office at (904) 256-7444 for more information.

Smesko, who earned his third A-Sun Coach of the Year honor and was also named 2012 CollegeSportsMadness.com Mid-Major and A-Sun Coach of the Year, led FGCU to one of the most historic season in its Division I history, advancing to the NCAA Tournament and earning a No. 12 seed in the Raleigh Region.

The Kay Yow Award was established in 2010 to honor the Division I women's head coach who embodies not only a winning spirit but who also displays great character both on and off the court.
Yow was a coaching legend who led NC State to 737 wins during her 34 seasons at the school. She was wildly successful in every forum in which she coached, leading gold medal winners at the 1981 World University Games, the 1986 Goodwill Games, 1986 World Championship Games and the 1988 Olympic Games.
Past Recipients
2011 - Matt Bollant, Green Bay

Riding an overall 21-game winning streak and a league record 41-game A-Sun winning streak, that dates back to the 2011-12 season when they finished 18-0, the Eagles will look to continue their winning ways and capture back-to-back Atlantic Sun Tournament titles when they take on No. 2 Stetson on Mar. 9 at 5:30 pm in the A-Sun Tournament Championship game. The game will be televised by CSS with internet coverage on ESPN3 and ASun.TV outside of the CSS broadcast area.
If the No. 1 Eagles win the A-Sun Championship, the Green and Blue will earn the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

LAST TIME OUT (March 6): FGCU Sets A-SUn Tourney Mark for 3's in 73-44 Semifinal Win Over UNF
Joyce Iamstrong scored a game-high 22 points as the No. 1 seeded FGCU women's basketball team knocked down an Atlantic Sun Tournament record 12 triples en route to a 73-44 win over No. 5 UNF in the semifinals held Friday afternoon at Hawkins Arena. • The Eagles, who have made at least one three-pointer in 229 consecutive contests and 341 of 342 games in program history, made a tournament record 12 triples on the day, led by four from Iamstrong. Lerrin Cook buried the triple that gave the Eagles the record (2nd half; 9:54). The Green and Blue previously drained 11 three-pointers in the 2012 semifinals and finals, while Jacksonville State made 11 treys in 2000 vs. Jacksonville. • With its 21st straight victory, FGCU improved to 27-5 overall, while the Ospreys finished 12-19 on the season. The 21 wins in a row tie a program Division I record for consecutive wins (21; during 2011-12 season). The Blue and Green have now won seven straight over UNF, including three this season. • Ranked No. 6 in the latest ESPN Mid-Major poll and receiving votes in the AP Top 25, the Green and Blue forced the Ospreys into 20 miscues, which led to 25 FGCU points off turnovers. North Florida's 44 points mark the 19th time the Eagles, who led the conference in scoring defense during the regular season (52.5 ppg), have held an opponent to 55 points or fewer this season. • Iamstrong went a perfect 9-for-9 from the field to tie an A-Sun Championship record for field goal percentage. Iamstrong marked the second most attempts for the record only behind Georgia Southern's Phylette Blake, who went 10-for-10 vs. Florida A&M in 1988. The senior also went a perfect 4-for-4 from behind the arc to tie an A-Sun Championship record for three-point percentage. Freshman Jaime Gluesing (Solon, Ohio/Solon HS) chipped in with 13 points and three assists. 2013 A-Sun Defensive Player of the Year Brittany Kennedy (Spokane, Wash./Lewis and Clark HS/Oregon State) recorded 12 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and three steals, while 2013 A-Sun Player and Scholar-Athlete of the Year Sarah Hansen (McKean, Pa./General McLane HS) finished with seven points, five boards, three steals and a pair of assists.
• The Hatters will get a rematch against FGCU in the championship finale on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. This marks the sixth championship rematch in A-Sun history.
• This marks the third-consecutive year the Hatters have advanced to the championship final. Stetson is the first team to make three straight since ETSU made it from 2008-10. Only five teams have made it to the championship three or more consecutive years in the history of the conference.
• The Hatters will make their fifth appearance in the A-Sun Championship Final as the Hatters have previously won three titles.
SARAH HANSEN has 1,414 career points and is two points from passing Adrianne McNally (1,415) on the FGCU all-time scoring list. When she passes McNally, Hansen will become the program's all-time leading scorer in just three seasons.
The redshirt junior currently ranks 27th on the A-Sun career scoring list, behind Belmont's Amber Rockwell (1,431; 2006-10).
After winning the Atlantic Sun regular season championship for the second straight season, the Eagles earned a few postseason honors from College Sports Madness and the Atlantic Sun Conference office.
SARAH HANSEN earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year and College Sports Madness A-Sun Player of the Year honors to go with her second consecutive first team All-Atlantic Sun selection and a CSM first team All-Atlantic Sun nod. BRITTANY KENNEDY took A-Sun Defensive Player of the Year, a first team All-Atlantic Sun selection and a CSM second team All-Conference honor.
Hansen and Kennedy were also named to the A-Sun's Academic All-Conference team. The A-Sun also honored Hansen as the Women's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the second year in a row to highlight the league's Academic All-Conference team.
JAIME GLUESING snagged a spot on the A-Sun All-Freshmen team. Head Coach KARL SMESKO won his fourth A-Sun Coach of the Year award and his second consecutive CSM A-Sun Coach of the Year.
Making their second A-Sun postseason appearance in their second year of postseason eligibility, the Eagles look to become the first team in Atlantic Sun history to win the Atlantic Sun Championship in their first two appearances.
FGCU is also looking to become the fifth program to win back-to-back A-Sun Tournament titles. Georgia Southern, FIU, Georgia State and ETSU are the only schools to win consecutive tournament championships.
The Eagles have won 41 straight A-Sun games overall (including the conference tourney) and 36 consecutive regular season conference contests, which are both league records and are the 2nd longest conference winning streaks in the nation. Defending National Champion Baylor has won a nation's-best 40 consecutive regular season league contests. The Lady Bears have also won 46 straight Big 12 games overall, a continuing league record.
FGCU's last regular season A-Sun loss was at USC Upstate, 75-74, on Feb. 28, 2011.
After a tough 60-53 loss to UCF at Alico Arena, the Green and Blue have won 21 straight contests, which is the fourth longest winning streak in Division I (through games on Mar. 8). Defending National Champion Baylor owns the nation's longest winning streak (27).
Team Streak
Baylor 27
Notre Dame 23
Delaware 22
Green Bay 20
Quinnipiac 19
The 21-game win streak is tied for the longest winning streak in the program's Division I history (21; during the 2011-12).
The Eagles also own a 10-game home winning streak, which ranks t-14th in Division I (through games on Mar. 6) with Utah State.
The FGCU women's basketball team received two votes to rank tied for No. 37 in this week's AP Top 25 that was released on Monday, Mar. 4.
This marks the second time this season that the Eagles have garnered a vote in the national poll. The Green and Blue, who rank second in the nation in three-pointers made per game (9.2), received one vote in last week's poll (Feb. 25).
• FGCU has an all-time record of 25-7 in games played in March.
• Since moving to Division I in 2007-08, the Eagles hold an 17-5 record in the month of March; 6-0 vs. A-Sun competition.
Since moving to Division I in 2007-08, the Green and Blue have compiled a 16-5 record in neutral site contests. FGCU's last neutral site loss came at the hands of the Gamecocks of South Carolina at the Paradise Jam (65-46; Nov. 23, 2012).
The Eagles secured their ninth-straight 21+ win season with a 89-38 victory at Lipscomb (Feb. 16). The Green and Blue now have 10 21+ win seasons in program history. The lone year that the Eagles failed to win 21 games was during the 2003-04 campaign, when FGCU went 18-8.
Over the last nine seasons, the Eagles have accumulated 240 wins and 45 losses.
FGCU captured the program's third consecutive A-Sun Regular Season crown (fourth in the last five years) with their 72-55 win at Stetson (Feb. 23). The Eagles' other three regular-season championships came in 2011-12, 2010-11 and 2008-09. FGCU finished last season 18-0 in conference play and 17-3 in both the 2010-11 and 2008-09 campaigns.
The Eagles have won 13+ A-Sun games in six straight seasons. FGCU is 100-12 in conference play over the last six years and has won 70 of their last 76 Atlantic Sun regular season games over the past four seasons.
With a 74-36 win over Kennesaw State on Mar. 2, the Eagles became the first team to go undefeated in A-Sun play in back-to-back seasons. FIU completed the feat twice as a member of the A-Sun (1992-93 & 1995-96).
The win also gave the Green and Blue 18 A-Sun wins on the year, which tied the 2009-10 ETSU & 2011-12 FGCU squads for the most conference victories in a season.
With an RPI as low as 49 and a strength of schedule (SOS) as low as 170, the Eagles were predicted to be a No. 14 seed, playing No. 3 Tennessee (Knoxville Region), by ESPN.com's Charlie Creme in his Mar. 4th Bracketology.
FGCU was also predicted as the No. 15 seed, playing No. 2 seed Kentucky in the NCAA Tourney in College Sports Madness' Bracketology (updated on Mar. 4).

Head Coach KARL SMESKO and his Eagles hve enjoyed significant success in the Atlantic Sun since moving to Division I. FGCU, who owns a 100-12 all-time record in conference play, has won four regular season titles (2008-09, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13) and one conference tournament title (2012) since joining the league in 2007-08. FGCU is 53-3 in conference games since the 2010-11 season.
The matchup between Stetson and FGCU on Feb. 23 was another chapter in the short rivalry between the two A-Sun squads. The Green and Blue defeated SU, 72-55, secured the A-Sun Regular Season crown and No. 1 seed in the conference tournament and snapped Stetson's 16-game home winning streak, which was the fifth longest home winning streak in the nation.
Over the last two years the matchup has become a true rivalry. The Eagles, who own an 11-2 lead in the all-time series, swept the season series with the Hatters last season and defeated Stetson, 67-39, in the 2012 A-Sun Tournament Championship. SU's 39 points were the fewest in the Championship Final since 1991 (Miami 73, FAMU 44).
FGCU's huge 97-60 win at ETSU was special for more than one reason. The obvious would be the team's NCAA Division I record breaking 22 three-pointers, but there were also several other significant performances in the contest.
BETSY ADAMS scored her career-high and game-high 25 points in just 14 minutes on 9-of-14 shooting from the field and 7-of-12 from behind the arc. The seven makes from long distance from Adams rank her tied for fifth place in the FGCU record books. ANTHI CHTZIGIAKOUMI, in her first collegiate start, registered a career-high 15 points and four rebounds, while BRITTANY KENNEDY totaled seven points and two steals to go with a career-best 12 assists. Kennedy's 12 dimes rank her t-2nd in program history with former teammate Courtney Chihil (12; vs. Indiana, Dec. 21, 2010).
SARAH HANSEN was named to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-America women's basketball second team (Feb. 21), as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). To be eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.30, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director.
Hansen is the first student-athlete in FGCU history to earn Capital One Academic All-American status. She is also the only basketball player, men's or women's, in the A-Sun Conference to earn the distinction this year. Previously in 2012, Hansen was honored as the A-Sun's Women's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year, named to the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association (DI-AAA ADA) Women's Scholar-Athlete Team and earned DI-AAA ADA Women's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year to highlight the Scholar-Athlete Team.
New Mexico's Caroline Durbin, Ashley Eide of South Dakota State, Amanda Hyde of IPFW, Akron's Rachel Tecca and Alli Williams of Saint Francis (Pa.) join the Hansen on the Capital One Academic All-America Division I second team.
In the 'Weekly Wrap' by ESPN's Graham Hays (Dec. 30 & Jan. 27), the Eagles got some love for their 76-70 upset of LSU (Dec. 28) and their win over A-Sun rival Stetson (Jan. 26).
Here's what Hays said:
SHE ALSO STARRED (Dec. 30)
Sarah Hansen, Florida Gulf Coast: This is why it isn't easy for good mid-major programs to convince major programs to pay them visits. Florida Gulf Coast beat LSU 76-70 on Saturday in Fort Myers, Fla., an upset at least as measured by name recognition. The leading scorer a season ago on a Florida Gulf Coast team that reached the NCAA tournament in its first season of eligibility, Hansen totaled 30 points, nine rebounds, three assists and three steals against LSU. The Eagles use the 3-point shot and are suffering for it this season (28 percent accuracy, compared to 37 percent a season ago), but Hansen is an all-around scorer who showed it in a win people will notice.
MAJOR SHOWDOWNS AMONG MID-MAJORS (Jan. 27)
It was a weekend full of conference showdowns in the mid-major ranks. Delaware got its win against Drexel to gain control in the CAA, but these teams also made the most of important games.
Florida Gulf Coast: It was a game between conference unbeatens, but it wasn't close. Florida Gulf Coast beat Stetson 74-55 to improve to 9-0 in the Atlantic Sun. It's the 10th win in a row for the Eagles in a run that began with a win against LSU, and all nine conference wins came by at least 10 points.
The Florida Gulf Coast women's basketball team picked up the No. 6 spot (for the second consecutive time in the poll) in the latest ESPN Mid-Major Rankings (Mar. 6). The rankings are based on the women's basketball blog of ESPN's Graham Hays.
Said ESPN of FGCU, "The Eagles have yet to play a game in 2013 decided by single digits, with only a January game against North Florida even competitive in the final minutes. Sure, that says something about the Atlantic Sun, but perhaps also about a team that had pieces to replace this season hitting its stride at the right time. For all her accomplishments on the floor (she's the league's leading scorer and averages 7.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game), Sarah Hansen's most impressive feat is winning the Atlantic Sun's scholar-athlete of the year award twice in her first three seasons."

The Florida Gulf Coast women's basketball team dropped two spots into the No. 11 position in the 18th edition of the 2012-13 CollegeInsider.com Women's Basketball Mid-Major Top 25 poll, announced on Tuesday, Mar. 5. The Eagles were ranked No. 9 in the Feb. 26 poll.
Delaware, ranked No. 18 in both the AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches Poll, along with No. 21 Green Bay, Gonzaga, Princeton and Chattanooga hold the top five spots in the poll.

The Eagles are the lone Atlantic Sun Conference team represented in this week's poll.
FGCU is nationally known for their 3-point prowess, but one thing that gets overlooked when people talk about the Eagles is their defense. The Eagles lead the A-Sun conference in scoring defense, limiting opponents to 52.0 points per contest. In conference games, FGCU held the opposition to just 48.4 points per game.
On Dec. 31 at Kennesaw State the Green and Blue held the Owls to 35 points. Kennesaw's 35 points are the fewest the Eagles have allowed to a Division I opponent since UNF (Jan. 7, 2012) and Belmont (Feb. 11, 2012) managed just 34 points against FGCU.
The Green and Blue have forced opponents into 15+ turnovers 27 times this season, highlighted by JU's 30 turnovers on Feb. 2 at Swisher Gym.
In their last nine games, FGCU has held the opposition to just 49, 48, 38, 53, 55, 62, 36, 47 and 44 points, respectively. The Eagles, who lead the conference in scoring defense (52.0 ppg), have held opponents below 65 points 29 times this season, while also holding this year's opposition below 55 points or fewer on 19 occasions.
After averaging just 1.3 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 6.0 minutes of action as a junior transfer in 2011-12, JOYCE IAMSTRONG put in a lot of work on her game over the summer and is arguably the most improved player in the nation.
This season, Iamstrong is averaging 11.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 28.2 minutes. The Chicago, Ill., native is also shooting .793 from the charity stripe, .447 from the field and .385 from behind the arc, a drastic improvement from her first year in the Green and Blue.
FGCU finished the regular season ranked first in the A-Sun in scoring offense (70.8), scoring defense (52.5), scoring margin (+18.3), free throw percentage (.749), field goal defense (.370), three-point field goal defense (.252), assists (15.7), steals (11.1), turnover margin (+7.47), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.2) and three-point field goals made per game (9.2). In conference only games, FGCU ranked first in the A-Sun in scoring offense (74.1), scoring defense (48.4), scoring margin (+25.7), free throw percentage (.748), field goal percentage (.446), field goal percentage defense (.355), three-point percentage (.357), three-point field goal defense (.225), assists (16.1), steals (11.2), turnover margin (+9.67), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.5) and three-point field goals made per game (10.2).
SARAH HANSEN, BRITTANY KENNEDY and JOYCE IAMSTRONG have combined to account for 53.6 percent (38.0 points per game) of FGCU's scoring. The trio is also shooting .478 (424-of-887) from the floor and .326 (102-of-313) from long distance.
JAIME GLUESING's .462 three-point percentage would rank 5th in the nation if she averaged a minimum 2.0 treys made per game. (she averages 1.5 triples per game).
The freshman, who has scored in double figures in nine games, averaged 8.1 points and is shooting .490 from the field and .493 from behind the arc in A-Sun play. She's hit a trey in 24 games this season and has multi-threes in 15 contests.
Averaging 70.9 points per game (1st in the A-Sun), the Eagles lead the league with a +7.81 turnover margin. BRITTANY KENNEDY, who ranks 2nd in the A-Sun in assists (5.4), is second in the conference in assist/turnover ratio at 2.2. SARAH HANSEN has a 1.06 ratio, while ranking 13th in the league at 2.3 assists per game and JOYCE IAMSTRONG owns a 1.47 ratio and ranks sixth in the league at 2.8 assists per game.
Senior JOYCE IAMSTRONG and redshirt junior SARAH HANSEN give FGCU one of the top scoring tandems in the conference. The duo is averaging a combined 28.0 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 3.8 steals per game.
A-Sun Top Scoring Tandems
McGowan/Sanders (Stetson) - 30.0 ppg
Bridges/Grant (Mercer) - 29.7 ppg
HANSEN/IAMSTRONG (FGCU) - 28.0 ppg
Alford/Sneed (JU) - 23.6 ppg
Copney/Starling (Upstate) - 23.3 ppg
• The duo has reached double figures in same game 16 times with FGCU going 15-1.
With a 18-0 record in A-Sun action, FGCU is one of 10 teams in the nation that are undefeated in conference play (Albany, Dayton, Baylor, Notre Dame, Delaware, Green Bay, Marist, Hampton, Quinnipiac; as of Mar. 8). Also, with a 27-5 overall record, the Eagles are one of 14 26+ win teams in the nation (thru games played on Mar. 8).
Out of the 13 Division I schools in the state of Florida, the Eagles (27-5) rank first for the most victories in the state (thru games played on Mar. 8).

The Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and 2013 A-Sun Defensive Player of the Year BRITTANY KENNEDY has has a solid season on the defensive end. The Spokane, Wash. native averaged 2.4 steals per contest (60 steals; 25 games) as a redshirt junior in 2011-12 - good for first in program single-season history and third-best in the A-Sun - and should eclipse that total this year.
This season she has recorded 88 steals in 31 games (2.8 per game; 1st in A-Sun) and averages 5.1 rebounds a game. Kennedy ranked 36th in the nation in steals thru games played on Mar. 7.
Kennedy, known for her lock-down defense on opposing guards, held Jerica Coley, a 2012 Associated Press All-America Honorable Mention and the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year that averaged 23.4 points per game, to just nine points on 4-of-12 shooting in their matchup on Nov. 14. She also shutdown VT's leading scorer Monet Tellier (12.9ppg) and held her to two points on 0-for-8 shooting from the floor (Dec. 16).
In two matchups with Kennesaw State's third leading scorer, Ashley Holliday, Kennedy held her to five total points, two assists and 20 turnovers.
The Preseason Defensive Player of the Year played lock down defense on Upstate's leading scorer Tee'Ara Copney (Jan. 14), who was averaging 13.3 points per game, and held her to just four points on 2-of-7 shooting and forced her into five turnovers in 34 minutes.
Against UNF in the A-Sun Semifinals (Mar. 8), JOYCE IAMSTRONG went a perfect 9-for-9 from the field to tie an A-Sun Championship record for field goal percentage. Iamstrong marked the second most attempts for the record only behind Georgia Southern's Phylette Blake, who went 10-for-10 vs. Florida A&M in 1988. The senior also went a perfect 4-for-4 from behind the arc to tie an A-Sun Championship record for three-point percentage.
Against LSU on Dec. 28, SARAH HANSEN finished with a career-high and game-high 30 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field, 2-of-4 from long distance and a perfect 14-of-14 from the charity stripe.
Her performance marked the second 30-point performance in FGCU's Division I history (11th all-time) and the first since Feb. 12, 2009 (Adrianne McNally vs. Kennesaw St.; 32 points). The FGCU single game scoring record of 38 points is held by Andrea Clarke (vs. Molloy College; Dec. 18, 2004).
Hansen's perfect night from the free-throw line tied her for first place in the FGCU record books for percentage in a single-game and is the most free-throws made in a game without a miss.
SARAH HANSEN became the 6th player in program history to score 1,000 career points when she scored a layup with 12:59 remaining in the first half in FGCU's 79-49 win over Maine at Alico Arena on Dec. 1.
Hansen, who currently has 1,414 points, ranks 2nd in the FGCU record books behind her former teammate Adrianne McNally (1,415).
Surrounding its opponents with a balanced scoring attack, FGCU has knocked down 296 threes this season compared to just 110 from their opponents. Led by BETSY ADAMS' 2.0 trifectas per contest, 13 different players have made at least three shots from long range. The Eagles, who lead the conference in three-point field goals made per game (9.3), have three players (Adams, JOYCE IAMSTRONG & JAIME GLUESING) ranked in the A-Sun's top-10 in the same category.
In the program's 11-year history (342) games, FGCU has made at least one three-pointer in 341 contests, including 229 straight. The last and lone time the Eagles didn't knock down a three was February 21, 2006 at Lynn. During the current 229-game run, the Green and Blue have knocked down 2,219 money balls while their opponents have knocked down 1,013 threes. In games that it has drained double-digit threes, FGCU is 130-8 all-time and 85-6 since moving to Division I in 2007-08.
The Eagles hit 12 three-pointers in their semifinal matchup with UNF (Mar. 8) to set a new A-Sun Championship record. JOYCE IAMSTRONG and JAIME GLUESING combined for seven from behind the arc.
LERRIN COOK Cook buried the triple that gave FGCU the record (2nd half; 9:54). The Green and Blue previously drained 11 three-pointers in the 2012 semifinals (Kennesaw State) and finals (Stetson), while Jacksonville State made 11 treys in 2000 vs. Jacksonville.
Less than 14 months after tying the all-time NCAA record and setting the 2011-12 NCAA single-game high 21 three-pointers on 51 long range attempts in their 106-27 over NAIA foe Webber International on Nov. 28, 2011 at Alico Arena, the FGCU women's basketball team knocked down 22 triples in a 97-60 win at ETSU on Jan. 12, 2013. Prior to breaking the record, the Eagles were tied for first place all-time with New Mexico State, who drained 21 triples against Louisiana-Lafayette on Feb. 23, 2002.
The NCAA Division I record 22 three-point makes are also a program and Atlantic Sun Conference best, as FGCU made 10 treys in the first half and 12 in the second. The Green and Blue hit 12-of-23 (52.2 percent) triples in the final frame in which they outscored the Lady Bucs 46-35.
Freshman STEPHANIE HAAS made the shot that tied the record at the 6:44 mark of the second half and classmate AMANDA MOORE drilled a three-pointer with 1:48 left in the game that gave FGCU the all-time mark.
The NBA record is 23, which was set by the Houston Rockets (Feb. 5, 2013) and Orlando Magic (Jan. 13, 2009). The men's Division I record is 28 - in 74 attempts - set by Troy on Dec. 10, 1994.
• The Green and Blue are 26-4 on the year when they drain six or more shots from beyond the arc.
• FGCU is 25-4 this season when they knock down more three-point shots than their opponent.
200 3's...AGAIN
With their 10 three-point makes at JU on Feb. 2, the Eagles eclipsed the 200 made triples mark this season. FGCU has recorded 200+ three-pointers in 10 of the last 11 seasons, including nine consecutive.
FGCU's three-point prowess has been the program's calling card from day one and the 2012-13 version of the Eagles is no different. Through games played on Mar. 7th, FGCU ranked second in the nation with an average of 9.2 threes per game. As a team, FGCU has drained double-digit threes in 13 games this season.
1. Creighton 9.5
UT Martin 9.1
4. Milwaukee 9.0
5. UConn 8.7
The Eagles, who own the A-Sun's single season record for three-pointers (350; 2010-11), set a pair of NCAA records last season (2011-12).
FGCU, with their seven trifectas vs. St. Bonaventure in the first round of the NCAA Tournament (Mar. 18, 2012), set the NCAA record for three-pointers in a season (342) and three-pointers made per game (10.7).
FGCU's 350 trifectas in 2010-11 weren't a NCAA record because the Eagles were ineligible to set NCAA records due to the 4-year reclassifying period.

Andover — Louise M. (Moore) Batchelder,79, of Tewksbury, formerly of Andover and Danville, VT, passed away on Tuesday, August 28 at Lowell General Hospital after a brave struggle with cancer.
Louise was born, raised and educated in Andover. She was a 1951 graduate of Punchard High School. Louise met the love of her life, David H. Batchelder, at the Batchelder family farm, "Rolling Acres", where she picked strawberries during the summer. They wed on September 6, 1952. She worked at the Andover Savings Bank and also worked for many years as an administrative assistant in the business office at Andover Public Schools and retired from that position in 1984 to work alongside her husband in their real estate appraisal company, Batchelder Associates.
During her time in Andover, Louise was dedicated for years in supporting the success of the Andover Lodge of Elks. Following 63 years of residence in Andover, Louise moved to Danville, VT where she was active with the Danville Ladies Group and was also very involved at her granddaughter's school, the Good Shepherd Catholic School in St. Johnsbury, VT. Louise more recently moved back to the area to reside in Tewksbury with her daughter, Wanda. Louise's greatest love was her family and she had an endless supply of love and support for her daughters and granddaughter. She will be dearly missed by all that knew her.
Louise is predeceased by her husband, David H. Batchelder. She leaves her three daughters, Wanda Batchelder of Tewksbury, Beth Ouellette and her husband Joseph of Howey in the Hills, FL and Alton, NH and Trudie Baker and her husband Jack of St. Johnsbury, VT; a granddaughter, Elizabeth Louise Baker of Worcester and several, nieces, nephews and cousins. Louise is also predeceased by a brother, James Glen Moore.
ARRANGEMENTS: A Funeral Service in her honor will be held on Friday, August 31 at 11 a.m. at the West Parish Church in Andover. Burial will follow at Spring Grove Cemetery, Andover. Arrangements are under the direction of the Dewhirst Andover Funeral Home, 33 Pearson Street, Andover. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the Good Shepherd Catholic School, 121 Maple Street, St. Johnsbury, VT 05819. To make an online condolence, please visit www.dewshirtfuneral.com.

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to model a tunnel network and I have come across a problem I can't solve by myself and any help is greatly appreciated! I know what I'm trying to do is not what Civil is ment for but bear with me =)
The problem is best described with an example:
A sort of tunnel - or shaft - has to be blasted in order to make an access between the ground surface and a certain parking cavern. This access will be an escalator and the tunnel will be blasted in a 30 degree angle to the horizontal level. Normally when I design tunnel cross sections (CS) the contractor will blast the designed CS perpendicular to the designed profile.
I drew the tunnel CS with sub assembly composer and created an assembly in civil. I then made an alignment and a profile according to our design. And here is the actual dilemma: Civil draws the assemblies so that the assemblies are vertical and what I need is them to be drawn/modelled perpendicular to the designed profile. Is there a way to do this?
I will attach a .pdf and a .dwg of a surface profile along the alignment created (and tidied up) with civil 3d, in which I have tried to illustrate the problem in case my description isn't clear enough!

Solved! Go to Solution.
The corridor is always going to place the assembly in a vertical orientation but you can give it distorted information so when it is drawn vertically the dimensions appear correct when measured perpendicularly.
I would actually make two sets of subassembly or one subassembly with a Boolean operator (yes/no) to switch it from perpendicular to the profile to typical vertical. In your subassembly you will want to add a variable for VerticalDistortion. This variable would be a percentage that each of the vertical dimensions would need to be stretched/shrunk by on order to switch back and forth between the perpendicular and vertical sections (you can use the Baseline.grade API function an a little trigonometry to calculate the distortion value.
All of your input parameters would be entered as values measured perpendicular to the baseline, I presume. Then if you want the subassembly to perpendicular to the baseline then the distortion will be 1 and if you want the subassembly to be vertical then the distortion will be this calculated value. So for the placement of each point you would multiply the vertical values by this distortion.
So now you have a subassembly that can handle being drawn vertically but the dimensions should be correct in the perpendicular direction. You will use this corrected subassembly for all of your modeling. However if you want to generate cross section views you would just use the non-distorted version (which is why I said make two or make one that can switch the distortion on and off). And run that along the baseline and generate cross sections from there and they will dimension out correctly. (Hope that makes sense and I interpreted your problem correctly!)
Although a slightly different application, I went over a subassembly that takes into account the baseline.grade in my AU class taught in 2011, the handout may give you some further insight.
Good luck!
Thanks for the tips! I figured I would be forced to do something like that and I will try it out as soon as I can find the time! =)
Is there by any chance a way to code the assembly so that it would calculate the (let's call it) shrinkage factor, SF, based on the slope of the baseprofile? The same problem I described earlier of course applies for all tunnels which are not horizontal and often long highway tunnels have many different slopes and being forced to make different assemblies for every slope is not imho an efficient solution!
Another problem (which I also just have to live with) is that when I will try the "shrinking" of the cross sections, I won't be able to model the tunnel roof properly! Scaling (or shrinking) the tunnel roof - which is an arc - in the vertical direction will make it an ellipse. Creating geometrical rules in SAC that will take this in account will most likely be hard if not impossible to do.
You can use the API function baseline.grade in any expression used in Subassembly Composer to take into account the instantaneous slope of the baseline at that specific location and then calculate the shrinkage factor right in the subassembly so it will take into account any of the grades that it comes into (even vertical curves) so no need to make different subassemblies for every grade.
As far as needing an ellipse in SAC, the program currently only allows arcs and parabolas but both of these have arc tessellation. If I were to use an ellipse I would use simple geometry and create my own "arc tessellation" using points and links. You could easily set up a Sequence element which uses the calculated ellipse variables to make a series of points and links to generate the needed ellipse shape (really that is all the Curve element is, a sequence of points and links based on the curve geometry properties).
Hope that makes sense!
Peter Funk talked about a similar situation in an AU class, back in the days when subassemblies were written in VBA. In that case the corridor was used to represent a concrete bridge structure in France somewhere. The assembly built a series of polylines perpendicular to the horizontal and vertical alignment which could be used for design of the prefab formwork.
