SOUTH CAROLINA staged a throwback night Thursday. The USC womens team returned to Carolina Coliseum, treating a sparse yet vocal crowd to the old times, back when basketball games were played in basketball barns.
What makes an old building quaint and charming are its many quirks, the events that transpired there over the years and the mystique that hovers over it.
At least for one more night, fans were willing to overlook the cramped corridors, tiny portals and sparse concession stands. They came mostly to see if the building was still as loud as their parents claimed it to be, and it was. More important, they came to see a basketball game in a basketball arena.
Basketball is what distinguishes Carolina Coliseum from other newer arenas, including the 18,000-seat one that stands two blocks away. Carolina Coliseum was built to house the USC mens basketball team.
Sure, it became a tremendous concert venue over the years with the likes of Elvis Presley, the Grateful Dead and Bruce Springsteen performing there. The circus came to town every year. So, too, did the Ice Capades.
Even so, no one ever doubted that this place was built for Frank McGuires teams, which early on established themselves as being among the nations elite. Because of its terrific sight lines, made possible by a steep grade of seating, fans immediately gained a sense of being part of the action by sitting on top of it.
Atlantic Coast Conference opponents quickly recognized that playing a game at Carolina Coliseum was every bit as challenging as playing at the leagues other venerable old buildings Dukes Cameron Indoor Stadium, North Carolinas Carmichael Auditorium or N.C. States Reynolds Coliseum.
Fans attended the games at Carolina Coliseum to watch basketball. Over the early years of the buildings operation, attending mens basketball games became Columbias biggest and most gala social event 17 or 18 times a year. The big USC athletics boosters loved being part of the noise from their seats at midcourt.
The game created all the excitement, unlike in todays newer venues where crowds are implored to Make Noise! and where synthesized music blares at decibels so high the big-money boosters scurry to the comfort and quiet of their skyboxes.
Jack Easterby, now the team chaplain for the USC womens team, was one of the fortunate ones growing up in Columbia who got to attend games at Carolina Coliseum with his father. Section Q, Row R, he remembers vividly. For the 1996-97 season, Easterby was the envy of his neighborhood friends when he served as ball boy and watched the games from beneath one of the baskets.
Like Easterby, those lucky enough to secure tickets remember all too well during the McGuire era how the Hall of Fame coach waited until seconds before the playing of the National Anthem to enter the arena. The pep band serenaded him with the fight song as McGuire no one forgets this tugged at his shirt cuffs and straightened his tie.
No other place in the country rolled out an actual red (OK, garnet) carpet, and used a single spotlight that shone from the rafters as the Gamecock starters were introduced and one-by-one strolled to midcourt. There was no need for manufactured excitement via a high-tech video. The exhilaration was all too real.
Once the official tossed the ball into the air to begin play, it was bedlam, an atmosphere jump-started by the first game played there. That is when John Roche, USCs first superstar in any sport, sank a jump shot from the top of the key with 2 seconds remaining for a 51-49 victory against Auburn.
I made a winning shot at the buzzer after missing all of my previous nine shots in the second half, John Roche wrote Thursday via email from Denver, where he is an attorney. This was a sign to me that Carolina Coliseum would be the home for better success and good fortune for the basketball program, which it was.
Of course, not every game and every season featured dramatic endings to games and winning campaigns. What Carolina Coliseum did give to USC mens and womens teams over the 33 years of basketball was a decided homecourt advantage.
Many factors beyond raucous crowds contribute to a teams success on a home court. But there is no denying that the building and its atmosphere was at least a contributing factor to the mens and womens teams combining to win 73.3 percent of their games played there. By comparison, the teams have won 67.2 percent of their games in 11 seasons at Colonial Life Arena.
A scheduling conflict Thursday allowed fans to experience the magic of the building of course, USC won one more time. For those who developed a relationship with the building decades ago, returning to Carolina Coliseum must have been the USC athletics equivalent to visiting the Parthenon in Greece, the Colosseum in Rome or Shakespeares Globe Theatre in London.
We can only hope that Thursdays game was not the last to be played at the grand old arena. Lets hope that USC administrators recognize the past by preventing Carolina Coliseum from meeting up with a wrecking ball.

I'm just about to finish up a max recruitment phase and next up is a month of doing 4x4's. While evaluating my goals for coming out of this next phase, I started asking myself if doing a PE phase in the middle of winter is actually worth it, or if I should just go right back into a strength phase. My reasoning is that I live in a mountain town in CO and rarely get outside to climb at all during the winter. Our gym is a very small bouldering-only gym as well. My concern about doing a PE phase at this point is that after completing the phase of 4x4's I'll simply be going back to bouldering only (which is more power oriented, not PE) until springtime comes or it's time for the next PE phase. Will any gains I make in this first PE phase be completely lost by the next time I will get to use/train it? Would I be better off going right into another round of strength/max recruitment phases and then do a solid PE training phase right before springtime?
PE gains are generally transient. I wouldn't do any 4x4s unless you are training for something specific that requires the type of PE that 4x4s train. Why did you start your training cycle so early in the year if you have nothing to train for? Ideally you plan your cycle so you peak whe the conditions at your crag are ideal, or to coincide with a climbing trip or something.
Well I started my training phase early because it's winter time and there's not much else I can do in our tiny gym... My understanding is that the gains from training phases are cumulative (as long as you maintain the systems being trained) so I started training in November so that I could get two full training cycles in throughout the winter and come out climbing strong in the springtime. As I understand, I should be able to start my second strength and max recruitment phases at a higher level than I started the first ones since the bouldering I do in between these phases helps to maintain both of these systems. However, bouldering is not a good way to maintain power endurance, and I'm thinking that the time gap between PE phases will be enough to lose most if not all of the gains I made in the first PE phase. Therefore would it be better to go right back into another set of strength and max recruitment phases to get stronger in the areas that I can maintain in the wintertime and then do a PE phase just prior to my outside climbing season? To be clear, my goals this coming year are all route related, not bouldering. I'm just limited to bouldering in the wintertime because of the resources available and I'm trying to make the most of my training season.
No doubt. Take a weekend trip to the desert and boulder hard. Then go back to the workouts

Parked all my tractors late last fall with full tanks of gas. Went around monthly to start and operted all tractors. Today I went to start a WD (Allis) parked in the unlocked hay barn. Rapped on the gas tank and heard a hollow sound. Sure enough only about 1 inch of gasoline in the bottom of the tank. That's about $27.00. I even have a real good idea where the gasoline went.
I'm thinking. I'm thinking. Maybe it's time to forget to lock up all my gas cans. I have several filled with waste hydraulic oil.
Suggestions for any really nasty low down tricks will be appreciated

The wait staff was friendly and efficient. There was a great variety of food. We dined nightly in the Black Pearl and those folks made that a fun experience.
We had a great time on the ship! Gary and Ben (cruise director and asst director) really made it entertaining with their fun and funny personalities.
The after dinner shows were very impressive! Also there were nightly comedy shows with both family-friendly and adult shows. We enjoyed lots of laughs and good times!
We enjoyed the various ship activities more than the ports. (We went for the cruise and not so much the ports as we had been to Mexico before,) Beware in Cabo! A very friendly guy approached us at the pier and offered to let us spend the day at his hotel's beach...turns out we had to listen to a timeshare presentation first. That was vey unpleasant as they did not want to take no for an answer and we had to get rude to get away from there (Pueblo bonito resort). What a waste of precious time. We ended up not using their hotel and booking a snorkeling trip instead. That was fun but I wonder If the Carnival excursiontook their folks to some place less crowded? We were trying to save money by not booking through the cruiseline, but that might have been a mistake, ESP in puerto Vallarta - we were warned by friends about the dangers of that place and the cruise excursions were booked already so we just did some shopping and got back on the boat. There was plenty to keep us busy and happy. So five stars for the ship and activities....not so many stars for the ports tho,
P.S. and yes the ship has an odd decor, but we didn't let that bother us as we weren't there for an interior design convention!

Environment is great - more restaurant than bar. Table service, short bar if you like to sit up there, a bunch of big roomy booths that you can fit 8 people into, and an assortment of smaller tables. Sidewalk seating as well when it's nice out. It's never been excessively noisy or over-crowded when I was there. I think the hostess-seating at the door keeps most of the bar crowd out.
Food is mostly just appetizers and lunch stuff, none of it bad but nothing you would go there specifically for.
Decent beer selection. Just your standard offerings. Not a lot of taps, or anything you couldn't get anywhere else around here. I'm not a liquor guy, but my brother in law goes there specifically to sample scotch and bourbon. They have an extensive liquor menu - easily twice the size of their beer selection.

Stopped in here for lunch on a Monday. Still had a decent crowd as we had to go to the back room to find a table. Has a nice pub like decor with lots of wood.
Waitress was friendly and accommodating enough and knew the selection pretty well. Nothing really to complain about there. She seemed to know about the beers, but wasn't really into them.
Their tap list wasn't anything to write home about, but then again I am spoiled with Chicago bars. What they did have though was a solid selection of various breweries and styles. I got a Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. Compared to Chicago, their prices were glorious. The most expensive ones were 5 to 6, where as most were around 4. They had a decent bottle list. Everything they had was mostly run of the mill everyday beers, but I won't complain.
Good food. I got a BLT with coleslaw. Would easily order this again if I came here. Food was of an average price.
I will gladly visit Seven Saints again when I move here in a few weeks.

Located in the heart of downtown Champaign, on the corner of Chester and Market streets, Seven Saints has a magnificent interior with plenty of wood work, great lighting and fixtures, and a wonderful, friendly, outgoing staff. In some ways, the bartenders, wait staff, and owner make the place. They also utilize their ample sidewalk space with outdoor tables and, with ample sunshine adorning the exterior, it is an excellent setting for lunch. Their early openings accommodate this rather nicely, too.
I spent a good deal of time here between movies at Ebertfest this year, and found it a wonderful place to go to talk movies and life with the staff and other patrons. The staff are very knowledgeable not just about beer and food, but also film, sports, and much else. The owner is an expert drink maker, and can often be found, when not handling the bar's affairs. shuttling to and from the bar to make unusual, exotic drinks. They do much to make the bar a distinct, energetic social space.
The beer selection is very good, at times better in the bottle selection than those on tap. However, Seven Saints of late has done much to stock up on excellent tap beers. When Stone came to town, seven Saints, like many other brewers, had a tap takeover that saw Stone on many of the taps. They highlighted Cali-Belgique, Oaked Arrogant Bastard, Sublimely Self-Righteous, and Ruination among others. The bar typically features good offerings from Rogue, Magic Hat, Smuttynose (with Gravitation on tap right now, an excellent Quad), Bell's (Oberon now, but they've had Two-Hearted, Third Coast, and HopSlam in the past) and other micros. The bottle selection is superb, featuring many from Founders, Southern Tier, Bell's, Avery, Great Divide, Stone, Unibroue, DFH, Goose Island, North Coast, Sierra Nevada, and Two Brothers. They recently took part in a Bar Crawl with the several other bars in downtown Champaign and nearby Urbana, making for a fun, social night of beer tasting.
The food is quite good. I have enjoyed their slider burgers and black and blue salad before, and while the prices veer toward the high side, the sliders are affordable, one can get extras of them, and the service is good, friendly, efficient, and rapid.
I'd highly recommend stopping in to Seven Saints for a beer and a meal. It is a warm, friendly place that provides very good service, beer, and food, and a setting that should impress pub lovers everywhere.

The atmosphere of this place is a dark modern look. It most consists of booths with a back room that has some tables as well. Everything is a dark mahogany wood that gives it a nice little cozy ambiance.
The service was pretty good and my server was pretty knowledgeable about the beer selection...the beer selection I thought was pretty good for a place in Champaign, but coming from Chicago it gets hard to impress whenever I go else where. Some great breweries made the list, Lost Abbey, Goose Island, and Port just to name a few.
If you like upscale bar food than this is your place. Their main menu attraction is the slider section with about 15 different options and a make your own slider portion as well. Good Apps as well.
Overall I really enjoyed this place. Granted I've been to much better places, but for Champaign it's one of the better places to get a nice craft beer and some excellent foo foo bar food.

I recently had dinner here. This is another bar/restaurant in downtown Champaign. They are going for a more upscale look than say the Blind Pig or Mike 'n Molly's. Everything is very clean, and spotless. There is a wood bar and lots of tables and booths abound. Again, very nice and clean. Not a lot of character, but enjoyable.
The quality is fine. Nothing wrong with the taps or bottles. The service is decent as far as taking orders and knowing what they have. Though I had to argue with several bartenders to get a half pint of the Arcadia Barleywine. I don't know why that should be an argument?
The food is decent. Though I am not really a fan of everything being a "slider." That seems like a generic trend, and makes everything a la cart. I ended up with a steak salad, but there was not much steak to be seen. Nothing really bad, they just seem like they are trying to hard on this front.
Besides a few decent offerings, the tap list is pretty generic. Eight taps that consist of Blue Moon, Fat Tire Guinness, Magic Hat, some BMC, Southern Tier Seasonal, and a managers choice (Arcadia Barleywine when I visited). The bottle list somewhat makes up for the sub par tap list. Mostly the usual suspects like Rogue, Bells, Goose Island, Founders, etc. Overall decent, but not ground breaking (considering the handful of really good beer bars in walking distance).
Overall, just an average place t grab a beer and a meal. A slightly above average beer selection, and slightly above average food. There is really nothing that distinguishes this place above the many other restaurant in the area, and there are much better beer bars in the area without a doubt.

This was on the same block as Blind Pig and Radio Maria. It was pretty hopping around 6pm with a few larger groups and families piled in the high booth tables. The interior was unique with genuinely creative touches like antique back bars inset in the walls, lantern chandeliers, heavy curtains tied on either side of the entrance, and the same fabric draped along the length of the ceiling. We sat at the bar for some dessert and libations. The bar top was polished black granite, and there were wooden posts along the L shaped bar. Interesting metalwork gryphon and dragon decorations. Service was prompt and friendly. Though the restaurant area was packed, it didn't seem that the bar was pouring many drinks. The crowd wasn't a beer crowd for sure.
Tap selection was weak: Fat Tire, Blue Moon, Guinness, and BMC took 6 of the 8 draft selections. Southern Tier Harvest and Spaten Oktoberfest were the two rotating taps. This was a place where they ran 2 tap towers with the same 8 beers (wasted potential). Bottle selection was a bit more interesting, maybe 65 beers total. In the coolers they had Founders Porter, O'Fallon Wheach, Port Shark Attack, and Bells Two Hearted (very fresh). Seasonal beers were available, but their main list didn't seem to change much. More interesting was the rare Bourbon and Scotch with detailed descriptions on the menu. 23 yr. Pappy, and a '78 scotch whose name escapes me.
Raspberry chocolate cake was very tasty, moist cake encrusted with chocolate chips on the outer edge. Many patrons here were here for dinner, so the food looked to be a main draw. Overall this seemed to be a classy date place, where you could find some good craft beers to pair with dinner.

Basic Foam Operations - Part 2

There are a variety of foam concentrates available to the fire service. Some are more specialized than others and some are more common. In order to give company members a working knowledge, we'll give a brief overview of the different types of foam concentrate and some of the "buzzwords" associated with foam. If you want more information, the major manufacturers have an enormous wealth of information available for free on the web. Take a look at the references at the end of the first part of this series.
Chemical Foam was the mixing of powdered chemicals that together created a finished foam product. Sometimes these chemical additives were referred to as Chemical A and Chemical B. It's important not to confuse this nomenclature with other vocabulary such as Class A and Class B foam concentrates.
With chemical foam there was no single concentrate that was easily added to a hoseline. The two chemical powders were added via a hopper directly into the hoseline. Because of its difficulty in use, and less than perfect quality, it is no longer used in today's fire service. Chemical foam was replaced by mechanical foam decades ago.
Mechanical Foam is the common product we deal with on a daily basis. Mixing water, foam concentrate, and air in the proper ratios to produce a finished foam blanket creates foam. The three ingredients are mixed via a mechanical process and do not require a chemical reaction to achieve a finished foam blanket. Our studies will primarily be concerned with the correct mixing of these three ingredients and applying the finished product effectively.
There are a variety of foam concentrates on the market today. Depending on the manufacturer, you may find differences in the specific details associated with each concentrate, so make sure you know the specifics of what your department is using. In this series of articles, we'll offer a very generic look at some of the more common types of concentrates and equipment that can be used, but for specific details, consult the manufacturers.
Protein Foam was an original type of liquid concentrate that was made up of organic materials and other additives. When used to attack a flammable liquid fire, it had a good resistance to heat, but its use was limited to hydrocarbon spills and fires. It is not in use in any great quantity in the municipal fire service any more. Other types of concentrates have replaced protein foam. These more modern concentrates have additional features such as greater fuel shedding properties and the ability to be used on both hydrocarbon and polar solvent spills and fires.
Film Forming Fluoroprotein (FFFP) and Alcohol-Resistant Film Forming Fluoroprotein (AR-FFFP) build upon the benefits of protein foam and protein foam's successor, Fluoroprotein foam. With synthetic additives as part of the concentrate, these concentrates can be used on fires and spills involving hydrocarbon fuels. With additional additives, these foams can be designed as an alcohol-resistant type of concentrate allowing them to be well-suited to incidents involving polar solvents. FFFP foam has the added benefit of being able to apply a very thin film over top of the spill, thus preventing the release of flammable vapors from mixing with air. With proper application, these types of foam concentrates offer a finished foam that is longer lasting, has good fuel shedding ability, and has good resistance to heat.
It also has similar features to AFFF (see below) in that a film floats ahead of the spill to create a layer that separates the fuel from the air. This concentrate can be used with both fresh and saltwater for even greater versatility. Check with the manufacturer as it relates to freezing and thawing (some sources say the concentrate can be affected by freezing and thawing, while other sources say the opposite). This agent is also compatible with dry chemical extinguishing agent in the event a coordinated attack is required.

PHOTO ARCHIVE: Celebrating Frank Wildhorn on Broadway
By Matthew Blank
Two-time Tony Award-nominated composer Frank Wildhorn celebrates his birthday Nov. 29. Playbill.com takes a look back at the composer's past Broadway productions. His work includes Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel and the recent Bonnie & Clyde among other titles.
Wildhorn made his Broadway debut in 1997 with Jekyll & Hyde, which ran for nearly four years at the Schoenfeld.
His Scarlet Pimpernel opened the same year at the Minskoff Theatre. It would close and "re-boot" twice, with changes to score and script and new lead actors, before ending its run in 2000.
Other Broadway composing credits include The Civil War (1999), Dracula (2004), Wonderland (2010) and Bonnie & Clyde (2011).

Student who had to have face rebuilt sees attackers escape jail
8:00am Thursday 20th December 2012 in News By Neil Hunter
A STUDENT has had to have his face rebuilt after being savagely attacked outside a nightclub, a court heard yesterday.
Lewis McGarrity suffered extensive fractures to his nose, cheekbone, eye socket and palate, and continues to have pain.
The victim says in a statement that he is now self-conscious about his face and no longer feels able to go to college.
His attackers, Kelham Hindmarsh and Phillip Dodgson avoided prison when they appeared at Teesside Crown Court.
The pair admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm and were given suspended jail sentences with four-month night-time curfews.
Street cameras captured the assault during which Mr McGarrity was repeatedly punched by Hindmarsh and kicked by both men.
Judge Tony Briggs described the late-night incident in Middlesbrough town centre in May as "nasty" and fuelled by drink.
Dodgson's barrister, Brian Russell, said he had downed a "monstrous" amount of booze and was shocked by what he did.
Jennifer Coxon, for former Royal Navy seaman Hindmarsh, told Judge Briggs: "He just can't imagine doing what he did."
The court heard how the victim has very little recollection of the attack, and there had been fears for his eyesight after the incident.
Miss Coxon said of Hindmarsh: "He is extremely remorseful for what happened that night. He describes it as absolutely disgusting."
Dodgson, of Master Road, Thornaby, near Stockton, was given 12 months, suspended for two years, with probation supervision.
Hindmarsh, of Mansfield Drive, Thornaby, received eight months suspended for two years, with 100 hours of unpaid work.

Like a lot of people I like a few beers but I have never had the inclination to beat the living daylights out of anybody.
They are remorseful only because they got caught and want a light sentence. (and got one).
Would they have been so remorseful if it not been caught on cctv? No they would have denied it.
Stamp down on these people on their first crime not as we read so many times "after 20 plus other similar incidents"

I imagine the victim must feel badly let down by the judge,who is no doubt following guidelines gesigned to ease the strain on the prisons.Unfortunatel

when I got to the hospital I didn't even recognize my own son
when the police were told who had done it all they said was " OH THAT'S HEARSAY AND WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT"
how else are the people responsible for these crimes supposed to get caught and what is the use of tv shows such as crime watch where they ask the public for help in finding criminals, if when they are told who these thugs are they say it's just hearsay
so some are never caught just left to do it over and over again as will these thugs

It gives violent scum a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card. The term they use for this from of sentence is a "walkaway". Sums it up, really.
The probation visit will give them a free bus trip down town to go shopping every week.

Another in the growing flood of injustice carried out by our soft out of touch judges. Its long overdue that judges/magistartes are held to account for their actions. If thesuspects reoffend after being given a non custodial sentance by a court, those responsible should be held to account as it is in just about every other profession these days. They are failing in their duty of care to protect the public and always siding with the offenders rights. Judges and magistrates would be far more inclined to apply the sentencing guidelines more rigourously if they knew they were in the firing line themselves!

Compare this sentence with benefit cheats who although having cheated the public purse would usually benefit more from putting something back by doing community work. I think there ought to be a campaign to have this sentence referred upwards to The Attorny General, its a disgrace.
I think Tony Briggs should stand down and let someone else judge on cases such as this ... shameful.

A clash between two family clans (hamulot) in the northeast Jerusalem
neighborhood of Beit Hanina left one man dead and led to a massive fire that
burned six apartments on Tuesday.
After the fighting broke out early
Tuesday morning, a 22-year-old man was stabbed and evacuated to Hadassah
University Medical Center on Jerusalem's Mount Scopus in critical
He later died in the operating room.
The warring Arab
families threw rocks at police officers who tried to respond at the scene,
though they did not injure anyone else, according to Jerusalem police spokesman
Shmuel Ben-Ruby. Police arrested 14 people who were involved in the fight over
the course of the day, and found an ax and two knives after searching a house
and two cars belonging to the families.
Around 8:15 a.m., firefighters
tried to respond to two large fires in Beit Hanina, which police believe were
connected to the predawn fight, as one of the apartments affected belonged to
the suspect in the stabbing.
However, due to rock throwing and rioting
against the police, the firefighters were forced to wait outside the
neighborhood until police secured the area.
Jerusalem Fire and Rescue
Services spokesman Asaf Abras said heavy smoke was visible from Highway 443.
Police and Border Police used force to disperse the families fighting against
each other and security forces. After an hour, police escorted the firefighters
to the site of the fires. Six apartments in two separate buildings, a car and a
caravan were consumed by fire when they arrived.
Abras said the arson
attacks were most likely planned in advance, as the arsonists hid gas canisters
around the building in order to inflict maximum damage as well as injure
Firefighters were able to gain control the blaze within an

I dont know of any manufacturer that has auto iso that is really optimal yet
... which is very amazing, since iso is only the 3rd thing to calculate with apart from shutter speed & aperture. Flash may complicate things, but really, it can't be that hard to get these basic features right? Some crippling might be due to marketing concerns, but other things like ec on m really sounds like photog's input doesn't reach the devs.
Auto Iso works for me on on the 1D4 - you get faux M with auto iso and ec when you know the settings
yeah thats as good as it gets for canon, even the fuji x10 is better in auto iso implementation now to just get them to enable the EC dial in M mode...
but while your method works its more of a work around the problem than a slick implementation of how a simple easy to use auto iso in M mode with EC should work

The former Bama player, who learned under the great Frank Beamer and Bud Foster, has done outstanding work for Steve Spurrier and the Gamecocks, especially last season. Even though South Carolina lost all of its starting linebackers to graduation, the D ranked second in the SEC and 12th in the nation in scoring defense (20.3 ppg) and fifth in the SEC and 19th in the country in total defense (350.0 ypg). Better still, Ward's defense held 11 of its 13 opponents to below their season scoring average.Bruce Feldman, Fox Sports
"Jadeveon Clowney was South Carolina's undisputed headliner the past few seasons. He was the subject of draft hype, expectations and virtually incessant scrutiny. His presence may have also overshadowed the fact that the Gamecocks have a budding superstar in the backfield. Davis finished 2013 with 1,183 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, including a 167-yard, three-score showing in a win over UCF in September. Following the departures of Connor Shaw and Bruce Ellington, he'll be expected to shoulder the load for Steve Spurrier's offense." - Sports Illustrated Campus Union
S. Carolina DL coach Brad Lawing says frosh reserves "gave in" against ECU. "They all embarrassed their hometowns and their families."— Josh Kendall (@JoshatTheState) September 12, 2012Holy Moses. That's some tough love.
South Carolina athletic director Eric Hyman has emerged as the "leader" to fill the same role at Texas A&M, a person with knowledge of the situation said. But the person also stressed that it's not a done deal for Hyman to replace Bill Byrne, who retired last month.South Carolina's Hyman leading candidate to replace Byrne Not a done deal, but we'll see what that's worth in the coming week. Hard to believe Eric Hyman would pass up a position at his alma mater, UNC only to take the same position at Texas A&M, but there you have it.
The worst [recruiting] experience we had was at Clemson. At that time we didn't really realize the intensity of the rivalry, so this was just pure experience. We were driving to the school and we ended up getting lost because the recruiter gave us poor directions. We couldn't find where the athletic department was. I gave the recruiter a call and told him we were lost and his tone of voice got really harsh. He told us to drive to the stadium and he would come get us. We parked and were standing around and he drove by two or three times looking. Devin got really upset and said, "He must not even know who I am." I told Devin we were going to leave, but right then the recruiter stopped and told Devin to hop in the car with him and I could follow. It was raining outside so we were in the athletic building and the whole time we were walking around none of the coaches even said anything to us; no greeting, no welcome, nothing.Justin King's newest piece, an interview with Devin's mother.
5. South Carolina (10-2, 6-2): Make sure when you look back at South Carolina's season, you realize that the Gamecocks were most certainly not Clemson. They weren't the team that had its defense ranked 59th nationally. All South Carolina could muster was ranking fourth. South Carolina also wasn't the team that was able to keep its starting quarterback and its starting running back all year (that running back being one of the best in the country when he's healthy). They weren't the team that lost three games. And they weren't the team that got blown out to its arch-rival at the end of the regular season.--Edward Aschoff, SEC blogger for ESPN. Well done, kid. Except, you know, for putting us behind Georgia. http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/34572/sec-power-rankings-21
And, no doubt, South Carolina's defense is the best Clemson will face all season, and no other team even close. Including the bowl game.Post & Courier columnist and noted Clemson sympathizer Gene Sapakoff

"South Carolina has one of the best receivers in the country and one of the best running backs in the country," Rainey said. "And they just signed the top prospect in the nation. Heck yeah, I want to play with those guys and that's very exciting for me. The funny thing is that I play all those positions for my high school team. Now I can go to South Carolina and be a big-play tight end that they don't have to go with Jeffery and Lattimore. I can be that threat. And I will get to go against Clowney every day in practice. I still have a high school season to play, but I can't wait to get to South Carolina." from ESPNhttp://espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/6768666/south-carolina-reaping-recruiting-rewards-winning-sec-east

MRPL is hoping BHEL will commission its captive power plant for phase-III unit by September-end.
The power plant is key to the commissioning of phase-III, as the margin-driving units of phase-III are dependent on its commissioning.
The annual report of Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd (MRPL) for 2011-12 said the two margin drivers of the company — the petro-fluidised catalytic cracking unit (PFCCU) and the delayed coker unit (DCU) — can be commissioned only on availability of steam and power from BHEL's captive power plant of phase-III.
The pre-commissioning activities of many other units of phase-III are nearing completion, drawing on steam and power from the existing facilities of phase-I and phase-II.
"It is expected that BHEL will be able to commission the captive power plant by the end of September, as assured by it," the report said.
According to the original schedule, the plant should have been commissioned in April 2011. The power plant will supply around 110 MW to the refinery.
The annual report said: "your company has perceived risk as regards supply of utilities, namely steam and power from the captive power plant of the phase-III unit, being built by BHEL, due to continuous delay."
The company said it is expecting delays from Mangalore Special Economic Zone Ltd for upcoming facilities such as water pipeline, infrastructure for effluent disposal, and corridor for the movement of trucks and other vehicles.
This could impact the operation of phase-III, it said.
MRPL took up the phase-III project in 2008 to expand the processing capacity of the refinery to 15 million tonnes a year, and to upgrade the low-value output into high-value products.
Shortage of water and depleted reservoirs, following a poor monsoon, could also impact the refinery's operation, it said.

Teachers at one Union County school are coming forward claiming the principal at Forest Hills High school, Dr. Kevin Pue, is pressuring teachers to change grades.
One teacher, who didn't want to be identified, claims this is how the conversation between teacher and principal went.
"You have to learn to be creative," the teacher said. "To find ways for these students to pass, which is an inference in just making up the grades and I was not the only one who was told this."
The teacher claims teachers went along with this to keep a job.
"He would hold it against the teachers," the teacher said. "And they wouldn't be invited to teach if the students didn't pass."
The teacher also claims the district conducted an investigation into Pue. District officials gathered teachers to discuss the accusations.
WBTV contacted the Union County School District about the Pue possibly forcing teachers to change a grade and an investigation. The district spokesperson says the district cannot confirm nor deny there was an investigation. The district also says if there was a demotion or resignation, the district would contact us.
The teacher claims there is proof of this behavior. The teacher claims there is a letter that indicated a school administrator switched a grade.
"That was a student that had a 25 or 35," the teacher said. "And changed to a 70."
The teacher claims that administrator got nervous and changed the grade back. The teacher goes on to say during the school year teachers started to give up.
"I heard teachers laughing and joking," the teacher said. "Stating that this is a great school to work for. Once you learn the ropes - you don't have to teach, just hand out the A's and B's. That's all he wants."
State law does allow principals to change grades, but the district believes students should receive the grade he or she deserves.

Danielle Neville blocks her way into the record books
Oct. 25, 2005
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - When senior Danielle Neville tied the school record for blocks in the Jacksonville volleyball team's 3-1 win over East Tennessee State, she didn't even realize she was close to it.
Now, three matches later, Neville has passed the former school record and is now trying to set it so far out there that no way may reach it again.
"I didn't even realize that I was close to breaking the record," Neville said. "It's a great honor for me to have my name up there with all of the other great players that have played here in the past. I've just tried to do my job to make back row's job easier."
As the Dolphins enter Wednesday night's home match against Bethune-Cookman at 7:30 p.m., Neville has racked up 391 career blocks and has been a big part of the team's recent success.
She has put up at least four blocks in the last seven of the last eight matches, while becoming more of an offensive weapon as well. She has put up 10 or more kills in four of the last six matches and has hit over .300 in eight of the last nine matches.
"I think it is a well deserved record for Danielle," JU head coach Kevin Paul said. "I remember watching her recruiting film and the first thing I noticed was the amount of balls she was blocking. She just has a great sense of where the ball is going and getting herself in the right position to finish the play. "
Neville entered the season with the school record for all-time block assists and passed Gisela Anderson's record for total blocks of 376, set back in 1989. She now has 52 block solos, which has her fourth on the school's all-time list.
"Danielle has been a starter for us since her freshman year and also been one of the top three blockers in the conference all four years," Paul said. "That's amazing to be that consistent over four years. She has been a major part of why we are one of the top defensive teams in the A-Sun."
"I couldn't be more happy with what Danielle has provided this team over her career thus far. The defense should be grateful playing behind #9."

As usual, the 2007 Miami International Boat Show was awash with a stunning array of new boats and power from the world's top marine manufacturers. New unveilings such as Boston Whaler's 345 Conquest (the company's largest outboard boat to date) and Yamaha's awesome 350 hp V8 outboard (the industry's first-ever 350 hp outboard) had the Miami Convention Center buzzing with excitement.
But plenty of other stories emanated from South Beach last week. And rather than rehash what you're bound to hear for months to come, here are a couple interesting sidebars that anglers and boaters likely will find interesting.
First, watch for big things from Jeppesen Marine. The firm, a subsidiary of The Boeing Co., held an interesting press conference Friday, February 16, that outlined the recent purchase of cartography and navigational data company, CMAP.
Jeppesen's marine division, which was formed during the 1999 acquisition of Nobeltec, is poised to become a real player in marine electronics. The company's aviation division is 70 years old and a real powerhouse in that industry. The affiliation with Boeing - combined with the technologies it is acquiring through the recent buyouts - should provide the kind of financial backing and innovation that will lead to fantastic new marine electronic products in the months and years ahead.
Speaking of cool electronics, SkyMate Inc., based in Chantilly, Virginia, unveiled SkyMate One, an innovative communication system that combines six marine wireless data services into a single package. SkyMate One unifies global cellular Internet, satellite audio entertainment and broadcast weather, ORBCOMM global data messaging, GPS vessel tracking and systems monitoring information all in one small unit. Watch for it on the market later this year.
Finally, at the Charles Industries press conference, owner Joe Charles discussed the River Forest Yachting Center in Stuart, Florida, and gave an update on a new yachting center scheduled to open in Spring 2008 in Ortona, Florida, which will provide access to the Gulf of Mexico.
The facility in Stuart has been extremely successful, according to Charles. The philosophy behind the venture is that yachting centers located on inland waterways provide valuable protection from hurricanes, as well as relatively easy access to the sea. What's more, as coastal marinas continue to be bought up in the waterfront real-estate craze, these inland operations are "bucking the trend," says Charles, and will provide boaters with viable alternatives.
They may not be limited to just Florida, either. John L. Smith, general manager for the facility being built in Ortona, says he believes these types of operations can be applied and constructed in nearly any coastal location across the country.
It's an interesting concept, for sure - and one of the many cool nuggets I came across while in Miami.

Hickman family Thanksgiving hayride
Published on Monday, 24 December 2012 12:36
Hits: 715
Neither rain, sleet or snow could deter the Hickman family from doing their planned hayride. Twenty-six people and seven dogs left the farm on an overcast-sky day, Thanksgiving Day.
The ride made its way six miles to Watkins to the Hilltop Health Care Center to pick up someone special.
Five generations from age 3 to 93, including Loretta Brutger, went on a ride to visit the old homesteads and (or through) around town.
It began to sleet and then to snow; by the time we returned home, we were covered in the white stuff. Our tractor driver even looked like the jolly old fellow himself.
After enjoying hot chocolate and hot apple cider, the family bundled up again and went out through the woods at grandma's house enjoying the beauty of winter's wonderland.
Memories are made of this.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Almost all the victims in the previously uninvestigated cases of child abuse and neglect have been seen by investigators, and at the same time, Gov. Jan Brewer signed legislation that will allow the hiring of nearly 200 more child welfare workers.
The number of cases grew to 6,600 after the governor-appointed CARE Team said it found 46 more cases that had been previously dispositioned as not investigated but later changed.
The CARE Team, named by Brewer in early December, said almost 4,900 cases have had a response.
Three of the cases have been referred to tribal authorities and are out of the state's jurisdiction.
Brewer on Thursday signed a bill approved by the Senate and House of Representatives last week that provides an additional $6.8 million in funding for the state's child welfare agency and will allow for the immediate hiring of 192 new workers.
Child Protective Services was pulled from the state Department of Economic Security in January and established as its own agency in light of the original 6,552 abuse and neglect reports that had not been investigated.
Of the 46 "broken disposition" cases identified by Office of Child Welfare Investigations Deputy Chief Shalom Jacobs, 41 had already been assigned and referred for field investigations, and the CARE team was reviewing the cases to confirm they are properly investigated, completed and that the children are safe.
The remaining five case were not referred for field investigations and were changed to "hotline communications," which indicates that a hotline supervisor or the hotline quality assurance unit determined that the original "not investigated" report did not actually meet report criteria as per hotline policy and procedure, or the report was a second source to an already existing report, the team said.
Team members will look at those five cases to determine whether they were correctly reclassified, and that any question about the children's safety will be investigated.

It's time to start planning how you can continue to enjoy your garden and even add new plantings. You can plant a variety of produce in Kentucky gardens in the coming weeks allowing fresh items to be available well into the fall.
The cooler nights experienced later in the year as these vegetables mature may increase the sugar content of many crops and thus increase their quality. Cooler nights also slow growth, so crops can take longer to mature than in the summer. Keep this slower pace in mind when you check seeds for days to maturity.

Campbell says he is relieved that the long-term contract he and the team had sought has been completed and he hopes he "can be a great player in this league for a lot of years to come."
