Urijah Faber finished his career as the best wrestler in the history of University of Califonia-Davis (UCD). During his time wrestling for the Aggies, he won 91 matches, and finished in the top 12 at the 2002 NCAA Division I National Championship, one win away from All-American status.
Faber's experienced success, but it was not enough to save UCD's wrestling team. UCD is a big and academically prestigious California public university, and in an era with tight state budgets, circuit court approval of absurd Department of Education Title IX legislation enforcement and increasingly gaudy facilities, wrestling programs at places like UCD need more individual standout performances in order to make a case for their own existence.
Eventually, UCD did produce an All-American wrestler. Derek Moore, whom Faber mentored as an assistant coach, completed an undefeated season in 2007, improbably winning a national championship. Moore's triumph instantly became the high point for UCD wrestling, but his amazing performance was too little, too late. In 2010, the University shuttered the program.
UCD never fully harnessed its wrestling potential, but this did not stop Faber from excelling on the mat. Heading into his senior year in college, Faber enjoyed a top-ten national ranking in a couple of major polls. The early part of his final season went well, with high placings at a couple of major tournaments. However, once the conference season began in January, Faber started to fade. The Pac-10 possessed a rare wealth of talent at 133 pounds that year (yes, UCD competed in the Pac-10 for wrestling), and Faber lost enough that when the NCAA tournament came around, his record did not justify him a top-twelve seed, and protection from a difficult draw.
[To explain this in more detail: in each weight at the NCAA tournament, the top twelve wrestlers receive a seed. Those who receive seeds wrestle a randomly drawn unseeded wrestler in the first round, and never another seeded wrestler. The first through four seeds are guaranteed to not wrestle a seeded wrestler until their third match, the quarter-finals (assuming they win their first two matches). This makes gaining a top-four seed immensely valuable, as it provides a relatively easy path to the quarter-finals. Wrestlers who win in the quarters earn a spot in the semifinals and automatic All-American status (top eight in the country), those who lose drop to the round of 12, and only need to win one match to become All-Americans. In Faber's case in 2002, he won his first match against an unseeded wrestler, then bumped into the third seed in the second round and lost. When wrestlers lose in the second round of the NCAA tournament, they must then win three straight matches in the consolation bracket to achieve All-American status; Faber only won two.]
At the NCAA Division I level, nobody at nationals gets an easy draw; Faber's draw, in particular, did him no favors. Though he won more matches then he lost, he ran into two very tough wrestlers too early in the tournament, and they eliminated him before he could secure a spot on the podium. Faber may have beaten a couple of the guys who placed in front of him had he wrestled them; unfortunately, the cookie seems to crumble this way sometimes. Faber can still claim an impressive NCAA career with three trips to the national tournament, and wins over All-Americans like Matt Sanchez, Shawn Bunch and Mark Jayne.
Faber also dabbled in Olympic-style wrestling, where his most notable achievement came when he earned a silver medal in freestyle at the United States University National Championships. Making the finals at "Universities" can have varying levels of significance. In Faber's case, he had to beat a number of extremely good wrestlers, including future Senior World Team Member and two-time Olympic "alternate" Shawn Bunch. Faber would probably trade in his University silver medal for just one more win in the NCAA tournament. Nevertheless, he should feel proud of this accomplishment; it is a fairly big deal.
Factgrinder Final Analysis
Urijah Faber had the wrestling skills to stay competitive with the very best wrestlers in the nation, and on occasion, defeat them. Like so many other prominent UFC fighters, he made it to the NCAA's round of 12, and just couldn't put together the match he needed. However, based on his high national ranking and quality victories, we can accurately say that Faber had NCAA Division I All-American level wrestling.
Evidence suggests that Faber would have become a force as an international wrestler after college, had he pursued that route. While in college, he experienced a sharp rate of improvement, going from a walk-on who had never placed in California's high school state championship, to the best wrestler in the history of his university. Even then, it appears that at the end of his collegiate career, Faber the wrestler was far from a finished product. Before Faber's senior year at UCD, when he was already UCD's second all-time winningest wrestler, his coach Lennie Zalesky described him thusly
"He's got good strength, is aggressive and is tenacious," said Zalesky. "He's getting to be a better technical wrestler, too."
This sounds like a coach discussing a wrestler who has amazing athleticism and competitive drive, but who is only starting to figure out the intricacies of the sport. Zalesky's reserved technical assessment, and Faber's arc of improvement, point to the fact that at the end of his wrestling career, the California Kid had only just started tapping into his immense well of physical abilities. If he had kept going in Olympic-style wrestling after his time at UCD, he could have achieved top-ten status, or better, in the USA's elite Senior freestyle circuit.
Meanwhile, It's a damn shame about Cal-Davis's wrestling program, truly heart breaking. If only the program had more success sooner, maybe it wouldn't have been cut. Of course, in this day and age, a wrestling program can win a national championship and get axed the same day. Trev Alberts should be ashamed of himself.

I love "Fool For The City" I have also always loved Savoy Brown "Looking In" and didn't know until recently that Lonesome Dave was the singer and most of the Savoy Brown band went on to form Foghat. If you are a Foghat fan you should check out "Looking In" by Savoy Brown. If you've heard other stuff by Savoy Brown and didn't like it, don't be discouraged because "Looking In" (and only "Looking In") is essentially Foghat. There were a lot of changes in Savoy Brown personnel through the years and the guys that did Looking In were the best.

If you want an anitidote for Britney Spears, Matchbox 20, andthe rest of the pablum that passes for popular music thesedays, buy this. I'm presuming the person that's reading thiswasn't a teen in the 70's like me. Let me tell you, thisFoghat album was what passed for top 40 music in those days.Believe it or not, this was the MAINSTREAM stuff-the stuff youheard out of the car radios in the summer.I can't think of abetter memory than hot summer nights in the 70's with Foghat'sI JUST WANNA MAKE LOVE TO YOU, SLOW RIDE, and FOOL for the CITYblaring from car radios…ESPECIALLY slow ride. If you want just a glimmer of how it was to grow up in the 70's,buy this CD now. And yah, all the top 40 stuff kicked in thosedays. Synyrd, Boston, Bad Company, Zep, Floyd, even ALICE COOPER, all were at our local K-Mart top 40 album bins. Theyused to display them next to the # in the top 40 they were,along with the 45's. The albums were about 5 bucks, and the 45'swere a buck. Funny thing is, I think that worked better thanall the web stuff we have now for some reason. It was simplebut look at the great music that was available! Now we havehigh technology with no music to match. Maybe there is a connection there. Think of it. The more technology, the moreit took away from the roots and grittiness of the music.Maybe if we get rid of the web and go back to records andk-mart, ROCK as we used to know it may come back again.Until then, buy this album!
Fool For The City and Slow Ride (which Lonesome Dave has described as a 'sleazy' song) were the tunes that launched Foghat and popped them forever into the rock and roll hall of fame!
Plus there are a couple added benefits – Terraplane Blues, Drive Me Home, and Take It Or Leave It. The original Foghat lineup of Lonesome Dave Peverett, Rod 'The Bottle' Price, Tone Stevens, and Roger Earl.
If you're unfamiliar with Foghat, this is probably the album to best introduce you to them. It's got arguably the two biggest hits they've had to date.
I was fortunate to see Foghat live in '98 or '99. They opened for the Doobie Brothers.
The DOOBIE Brothers?!?!? Sheesh.
They did their hits from this release and everything still sounded great. They sounded so good, in fact, that I didn't make it through three songs by the Doobie Brothers. When Foghat left the stage, my interest left the concert hall. The Doobies were doomed by having to follow such an act!
Foghat fans, it doesn't get any better than this!
I can't figure out why there are not more reveiws for this album. Foghat is great. They play loud, boogie metal. I have listened to this album so many times it's not funny. This and Bad Company's debut are the two most worn albums I own. If you like 70's metal, you must own this. The band is tight and they just blow the socks off of most other bands playing heavy rock in the 70's. I almost think they were better then Zeppelin…..
I'm one of the oddballs who never did care for "Slow Ride", though I recognise that others loved it. So I want to mention for those of you looking for the full-length version of that song, I believe this particular CD is the only way you can get it. All the 'best of' albums and 'various artists' compilations that I know of just include the much-shortened radio edit version of that song. This was my first Foghat album when I was 16 years old in the 70s. Sure there's only seven songs, but what great songs they are! And back then it was the norm for an album to contain 7 to 10 songs totaling 40 minutes or so. There's not a bad song on this album. This ties for 1st place with "Night Shift" for my favorite Foghat album. Nice, clean, hard-rocking recordings on both albums. Actually, all their albums were nicely produced and I love them all. But these two are my favorites due to their extremely upbeat nature. Great tunes to cruise Main Street with. Not sure if that's even done anymore, but I burned a lot of gas listening to this group.

The dominant story of Thursday's Chase Media Day in downtown Chicago was not the Chase itself, but an event that occurred late in last weekend's NASCAR race at Richmond.
With Jeff Gordon leading and Kevin Harvick running second, Harvick's Richard Childress Racing teammate Paul Menard spun out with 17 laps to go, causing a caution. Harvick got the lead on a late pit stop and won the race.
Gordon said after the race that the timing of Menard's spin seemed a bit suspicious and called it "a little fishy" again on Thursday.
"Whatever happened – whether it was intentional, unintentional – that's on them," Gordon said. "We can't control that. It's something maybe NASCAR needs to address so it doesn't affect how the championship is decided.
"I certainly frown upon it if that is true. If it is true – and I say 'if' – then I've lost a lot of respect for Paul Menard."
Menard's radio chatter was highlighted by Jimmy Spencer this week on Speed's Race Hub, and Gordon said people have told him it was questionable.
"What I heard was something about some communication about needing a caution, not needing a caution, and then they were giving the gaps between me and the 29 car, the distance as I closed in," he said. "I think after I passed them and they said something, and Paul asked, 'Do you need the caution? Don't need the caution?' Then they said 'Go to Channel 2' and then they spun out."
Menard hasn't commented on the issue yet, but Harvick said Thursday his teammate had a tire issue that caused the spin.
"All I can tell you is I wish I could have brought the right-rear tire with me – it was basically down to the cords," Harvick said. "You know when you see something like that happen what everybody is going to think."
Harvick added that from his view, "it looked like everybody was spinning everybody out so Dale (Earnhardt) Jr. could stay on the lead lap" and make the Chase.
"We could go on and on with this battle all day long," he said, adding the Hendrick-powered Phoenix Racing car of Landon Cassill raced him extra hard to let Gordon catch up. "...We could argue this point for many moons."
Did the accusations upset Harvick?
"Not really," he said. "They can come over and look at the trophy if they want."
The issue is important in part because the caution resulted in Gordon starting the Chase with three less bonus points than he would have had he won the race – and Harvick starting with three more.
NASCAR released a statement Thursday evening saying officials weren't aware of any impropriety last weekend.
"We haven't seen or heard anything that would indicate (Menard) did anything inappropriate in Richmond," NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said. "We watch closely the activity in each event all season long to maintain a fair and even event for all competitors. We naturally will do the same for the balance of the season."
Tony Stewart said the concept of a teammate spinning out to help another driver bothered him so much, he preferred not to even let the possibility enter his mind.
"I don't even want to think about it happening because I pride myself on racing the guys and everybody racing everybody fair," he said. "I hope we never have to worry about that."

activities and attractions in Bass Harbor Maine
Harbor Reach Farm is a 5 acre property of wooded waterfront. Andrew's Mom owns a similar vacant 5 acre wooded lot to the North. To our South is a 2/3 acre vacant lot that directly abuts hundreds of acres of Acadia National Park land and the famous Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse. Hence Harbor Reach Farm is very quiet, secluded and serene. Some guests rarely leave the property for their entire stay. They prefer relaxing on the beach, reading a book, watching boats and wildlife glide by, enjoying fantastic sunsets, etc.
The Western side of Mount Desert Island is very accurately referred to as "The Quietside". When the First Family visited MDI two summers ago, the Obamas spent part of their visit here, touring the Lighthouse at the end of our road, hiking the nearby Ship Harbor Trail and dining at a waterfront restaurant in neighboring Southwest Harbor. Nearby are the Wonderland ocean trail and Seawall picnic area, all part of Acadia National Park.
Bass Harbor has 3 restaurants with water views. Thurston's lobster pound on the Bernard side of Bass Harbor is a wholesale lobster dock that buys daily from local lobstermen. The Swan's Island Ferry and Little Island nature tourboat are a few miles away.
Southwest Harbor a about a 10 minute drive, where one can find more waterfront restaurants and lobster docks. The Library is well-stocked. There is a medium size grocery store, as well as a gourmet food store, drugstore and 2 Banks. Fishing, sailing, boat and kayak rentals are available. A mailboat takes passengers out to the Cranberry Isles several times a day. The picturesque Causeway Club 9 hole golf course welcomes all golfers.
Bar Harbor and the major sections of Acadia National Park are about a 30 minute drive. Most of the Park can be visited via the free Island Explorer bus system. There is a bus stop close to Harbor Reach Farm. Acadia National Park is the second most visited National Park in the U.S.

E-Portfolios | News
Education startup Pathbrite has released Pathbrite Portfolios for Educators, a tool for instructors to help their students maintain digital evidence of their learning journeys. The company also announced that Pearson Learning Solutions would be integrating the digital portfolio program into LearningStudio, Pearson's cloud-based learning management system for online courses.
Pathbrite, formerly named rrripple, provides an online service to let students collect, organize, and reflect on assignments, research, projects, internships, volunteer work, and job experience. The service is free to school staff and faculty, and pricing for students is $10 a year. It's intended for both high school and college students.
The application allows users to access their portfolios from any kind of computing device, including smart phones, and provides unlimited storage of artifacts and media in the cloud. Among the types of content a user may maintain in the portfolio are videos, presentations, Web sites, papers, photos, transcripts, grades, diplomas, jobs, trips, assessments, and awards. Others besides the instructor may be given permission by the student to view and comment on portfolio contents.
To set up portfolios for students, instructors:
The instructor creates a "portfolio of portfolios" to organize student work for review.
To set up a portfolio, the student creates a profile to store the portfolio, imports artifacts from online sources, groups them into categories, tags them, adds titles and descriptions, and specifies privacy settings to allow others access.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy harshly criticized gun industry lobbyists on Sunday, saying they are doing too little to halt gun violence.
Just three days after he signed into law new restrictions on weapons and large-capacity magazines, the governor compared Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, to clowns and said lobbyists want to ensure that the industry can sell guns indiscriminately.
"Wayne reminds me of the clowns at the circus," Malloy said of LaPierre on CNN's "State of the Union." ''They get the most attention and that's what he's paid to do."
Representatives of the NRA did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
"What this is about is the ability of the gun industry to sell as many guns to as many people as possible even if they're deranged, even if they're mentally ill, even if they have a criminal background," Malloy said. "They don't care. They want to sell guns."
Robert Crook, executive director of the Connecticut Coalition of Sportsmen, a lobbying group, said Malloy's criticism was "absolutely false."
"It's another political statement from a governor with little knowledge," he said.
Connecticut's gun industry supports a gun trafficking task force and tighter background checks of buyers, Crook said.
Andrew Doba, a spokesman for Malloy, said the Democratic governor was criticizing lobbyists, not the gun industry. Malloy has said he wants Connecticut's large gun industry to remain in the state, though gun manufacturers say the new restrictions will hurt their business.
"People are welcome to stay in our state as long as they're producing a product that can be sold in the United States legally," Malloy said.
Nearly four months after a gunman killed 20 children and six educators at an elementary school in Newtown, lawmakers and Malloy enacted legislation that adds more than 100 firearms to the state's assault weapons ban. It also immediately bans the sale of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. People who purchased those guns and magazines before midnight Wednesday will be allowed to keep them if they're registered with the state police before Jan. 1.
Required background checks for private gun sales also take effect.
Other parts of the new law include a ban on armor-piercing bullets, establishment of a deadly weapon offender registry, expansion of circumstances when a person's mental health history disqualifies them from holding a gun permit, mandatory reporting of voluntary hospital commitments, doubled penalties for gun trafficking and other firearms violations, and $1 million to fund the statewide firearms trafficking task force.
Malloy said he preferred an "all-out ban" on magazines of more than 10 rounds of ammunition, but the legislature opposed him on the issue.

Notes: Indians get Rule 5 picks back
Goleski returns from A's, Warden doesn't stick with Phils
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- The Indians lost two pretty promising prospects to December's Rule 5 Draft. Now, they're getting them back.Outfielder Ryan Goleski and right-hander Jim Ed Warden will be returned to the organization and assigned to Minor League camp, the club announced Wednesday. The Devil Rays had taken Goleski with the first pick in the draft and immediately traded him to the A's, who will not give him an Opening Day roster spot. Warden had been taken by the Phillies in the second round, but did not make Philadelphia's bullpen. "We're very excited to have both of them back," farm director Ross Atkins said Wednesday night "I've already called both individuals and told them how important they are to us. They are very much a part of our success. Anybody who gets to Double-A and Triple-A and has success with us is very much in our plans." The Indians' task, now, is to figure out what to do with these guys. Warden, most likely, will be able to find a home in the Triple-A Buffalo bullpen. But Goleski is being thrown back into a congested outfield mix in the upper ranks of the Indians' system. The Buffalo outfield is expected to have a rotation of Shin-Soo Choo, Ben Francisco, Franklin Gutierrez and Brad Snyder, so Goleski is bound for Double-A Akron -- a level where he already proved himself in 2006. He'll be joined there by Trevor Crowe and Brian Barton. Despite the outfield glut, the Indians reportedly rejected Oakland's push to make a trade to keep Goleski. The Tribe does not appear to be in a hurry to deal from their position of greatest depth. Goleski did not mince words when talking to Oakland reporters about the development. He was clearly disappointed. "I thought the whole Rule 5 thing was a way to get out of Cleveland," he told the San Francisco Chronicle. "I wonder why Cleveland wants me back. I don't even know if they have a spot for me at Triple-A or Double-A. It doesn't make sense. Don't say you want to hold onto me, and then say you don't have a position for me." Last season, Goleski hit .306 with 27 homers in 445 at-bats between Class A Kinston and Akron. But when the A's paid the Rays $100,000 as compensation for the draft pick to acquire Goleski, they were not aware he had surgery in early November to remove bone chips from his right wrist. This spring, while working his way back from the wrist injury, the 25-year-old Goleski batted .152 (7-for-46) with a double and four RBIs in 21 games.
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
The 6-foot-7 Warden, 27, went 5-2 with a 2.90 ERA in 55 appearances for Akron last year. He struck out 47 batters and walked 29. In camp with the Phils, he went 0-1 with a 5.68 ERA in seven games. The Indians received $50,000 each for the losses of Goleski and Warden at the time of the draft. They will pay half of that back to the A's and Phillies. The Rule 5 system can lead to hard feelings, because players often find themselves bounced around. Atkins said the Indians will make it a point to get Goleski and Warden in the right mindset for the season ahead. "We'll help them understand they are very much a potential Major Leaguer," he said. "We'll do our best to communicate how important they are to us and get them focused on the right things. And those things are baseball."
Rotation situation: All talk of the Indians' probable pitchers for the first week of the season is dependant, of course, on the health of ace left-hander C.C. Sabathia, who came out of Wednesday's start against the Blue Jays with a bruised left forearm.
But if Sabathia is ready to start Opening Day in Chicago, his second start would come at home Saturday, April 7, against the Mariners. That would make fifth starter Fausto Carmona the probable pitcher the following day.
To prepare for that April 8 start, Carmona, who's filling in for an injured Cliff Lee, will get the ball Tuesday in Class A Lake County against Double-A Akron.
Right-hander Jake Westbrook and left-hander Jeremy Sowers will pitch the second and third games, respectively, against the White Sox. Paul Byrd is currently scheduled to pitch the home opener against the Mariners on April 6. Byrd will throw in an extended Spring Training game Sunday to prepare for that outing.
Road to recovery: In the Indians camp, he's that other Cliff going through rehab. Since signing a Minor League deal with the club on Feb. 14, Cliff Politte has been working behind the scenes to come back from August rotator cuff surgery.
"It's been really hard," Politte said of going through Spring Training in the background. "I've been doing it, really, since July of last year. But last year, it was fine, because there was something wrong with my shoulder and I had a bad year. Coming here to a new team and sitting back and watching is tough."
Politte, 32, went 2-2 with a 8.70 ERA in 30 games with the White Sox last season. That injury-plagued year came after a dominant '05, in which he went 7-1 with a 2.00 ERA in 68 appearances, allowing just 42 hits in 67 1/3 innings.
The good news on Politte's road to recovery is that he's begun playing catch every other day. He's expected to begin throwing off a mound in four to six weeks and is still on track toward being ready to pitch in games sometime in June. Politte did have a slight setback in his recovery a couple weeks ago. He said it was egged on by his over-eagerness to get back on the mound.
"This winter, looking for a job, I kind of rushed a bit," he said. "I was throwing off a mound at 5 1/2 months, when the protocol at that point is just to be doing long toss."
Tribe tidbits: There will be a member of the Phillips family playing in Cleveland in April, and it, of course, won't be Brandon, the former Tribe infielder who was traded to the Reds last spring. Brandon's sister, Porsha, is on the LSU women's basketball team, which has reached the Final Four in Cleveland. Porsha is a 6-foot-2 freshman who has averaged 3.8 points and 2.9 rebounds, where as Brandon is a 6-foot-even starting second baseman for Cincinnati. ... Speaking of the women's Final Four, the Indians had the option of opening the regular season at home for the first time since 2001, but they opted not to conflict with the basketball event, being held next door at Quicken Loans Arena. ... Grady Sizemore appeared on ESPN2's "Cold Pizza" program Wednesday morning, discussing the upcoming season.
Don't forget ... The Indians are inviting all fans to come on over for a free open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. CT on Saturday at Jacobs Field. Concession items will be just $1, and fans can buy tickets, explore the brand new Heritage Park, visit Kids Zone and receive a free promotional item from 2006.
On deck: Carmona will take the next step in preparing for his opportunity to replace Lee when he makes his final Grapefruit League start against the Braves at 1:05 p.m. ET Thursday at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex. He'll oppose right-hander Tim Hudson.

2004 Kenneth Kaunda Work Project builds 28 new homes
The 2004 Kenneth Kaunda Work Project closed at the end of November as hundreds of volunteers joined Kaunda, the first president of Zambia, and Dr. Lindiwe Sisulu, the national minister for housing, to hand over keys to 28 new homeowners.
In the closing, Donne Cameron, national director of Habitat for Humanity South Africa, said, "Today is a very special one. Not only does it mark the close of an incredible week where we have built 28 new houses, but it provides the gift to 28 families, who will for the first time in their lives spend Christmas in their very own homes."

"Our thanks are extended to all the volunteers and sponsors who have participated in this week's event and made this dream become a reality for these 28 families," said Cameron. "And of course to our very special patron, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, who has taken the time out of his very busy schedule to come and assist us in the building of this community."
"It has been a wonderful week out in Mamelodi," said Kaunda. "My heart is filled with joy to see all these volunteers who have given of their time to come and participate in the project. They have helped us to fulfil our vision of helping those in need to receive simple, decent and affordable housing and this has been done in the spirit of the second commandment 'Love thy neighbour'".
About the Kenneth Kaunda Work Project
The 2004 build was the second annual Kenneth Kaunda Work Project. In its eight years of active building in South Africa, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 1,300 simple, decent and affordable houses for South African families in need.
About Habitat for Humanity International

Message from President Knight: FY 2009-10 Budget
June 16, 2009
Last evening the LCC Board of Trustees adopted the FY 2009-10 budget as presented to them on June 4.
In these difficult economic times, the Board and I felt strongly that raising tuition would be an additional hardship for many and inconsistent with our mission of providing affordable education to everyone. Therefore, the budget maintains tuition rates at their current levels.
This was a tough decision that college boards around the country struggle to make because it is politically easier to raise tuition than it is to propose the difficult cuts needed to promote responsible fiscal stewardship and ensure financial stability.
To achieve a balanced budget, every effort was made to balance the interests of our employees with those of the thousands of students we serve every year.
We will be lowering our operating costs by $4.7 million through such measures as reducing overtime, outside contracted temporary help, travel, non-academic supplies, printing and postage. We also are instituting a two-year pay freeze for high-level, non-union administrators and increasing the returns on our investments. Within the next few weeks, we will provide more information on how we plan to implement these cost-saving measures.
We were able to achieve an additional $1.3 million in savings as a result of the voluntary retirement/severance incentive program.
And finally, after considerable analysis and deliberation, we have had to make the difficult decision to reduce 37 non-teaching positions, which will reduce expenses by $3.3 million. Some of these positions were vacant. Some positions are being eliminated but the individuals holding them are being transferred to another vacant position; they will be notified by Thursday. Three counselors have been notified of a potential change in their employment status. The net result is that 19 of the 37 positions are being eliminated and the employees in those positions are being laid off.
We began the process of notifying the 19 affected employees this morning, and all those who were on campus today have been informed. Efforts are being made to contact those who were not on campus today as soon as possible.
We recognize that these workforce reductions are a tremendous hardship for those affected and difficult for their colleagues as well. There is rarely an employee separation that is easy, yet we are working diligently to be considerate and thoughtful in each case. Each employee will be provided paid leave for a period of time, depending on their respective contracts, and continue to be eligible for regular benefits, including the employee assistance program, while on paid leave. The college also is offering outplacement assistance.
Leadership is about difficult choices, and the choices presented in this budget reflect the utmost concern for the college, the community and for the public good that a community college embodies. We are doing our best to manage in these challenging times and be good stewards of our community's resources.
The FY 2009-10 budget does not compromise the excellence of our academic programs nor the outstanding faculty who make those programs possible. We will continue to provide instructional materials, supplies and the equipment necessary to maintain a contemporary learning environment. In addition, maintenance and repair of college facilities will continue so that we can prevent more costly repairs in the future.
I want to thank the many employees who took time to share ideas, suggestions, and viewpoints. In my many years as a community college president, I have seldom witnessed such professionalism, passion, and commitment to serving students as I have seen during this process. I hope you will continue to share your suggestions for improving college operations and service to students as we move forward.
Thank you.
Brent Knight

This was the best part of my order from this company. The ring had to be changed out. I have a car fob and the ring that was used wouldn't move freely with the fob. But after changing it, I really like it.

Women's Olympic Beach Volleyball Finale Features Top Two Tandems
Athens, Greece, August 24, 2004 - The teams of Misty May/Kerri Walsh of the United States and Adriana Behar/Shelda Bede of Brazil proved that the Beach Volleyball ranking process for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games was correct as the top two-seeded teams will play for the gold medal here Tuesday evening at 9 p.m.
Playing at the 10,000-seat Olympic Beach Volleyball Centre that has proved to be the "hottest" ticket in town, the two teams will meet for the 21st-time on the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour as the top-seeded Americans hold a 13-7 edge in the series that dates make to 2001.
Tuesday's finale is also rematch of the 2003 FIVB World Championships in Rio de Janeiro last October where May and Walsh scored a 21-19 and 21-19 win over Adriana and Shelda, who captured the worlds in 1999 and 2001.
The two teams have meet three times this year with the Americans winning each time, including gold medal wins in Fortaleza (Brazil in March, 21-10 and 21-19) and in Gstaad (Switzerland in June, 26-28, 21-17 and 15-10).
The second-seeded Adriana and Shelda enter the Olympic finale seeking to reverse their results from the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games were they dropped the gold medal match to Natalie Cook and Kerri Pottharst on Bondi Beach.
The Olympic gold medal match is also the first for the United States women as one of the world's powers in Beach Volleyball failed to medal in both the 1996 Atlanta and 2000 Sydney Games. The American men, who placed fifth and 19th in this Olympics, won the gold medals in both Atlanta (Karch Kiraly/Kent Steffes) and Sydney (Dain Blanton/Eric Fonoimoana).
Brazil has now claimed five Olympic women's Beach Volleyball medals as they captured the top two spots in 1996 followed by the silver and bronze in Sydney. Jackie Silva and Sandra Pires netted the Atlanta title by defeating Monica Rodrigues and Adriana Samuel in the All-Brazil final. Pires and Samuel teamed to capture the bronze in Sydney.
May and Walsh advanced to the gold medal match by scoring a 21-18 and 21-15 win in 41 minutes over fourth-seeded Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs in an All-American semi-final. May and Walsh now hold a 7-2 edge over McPeak and Youngs in SWATCH-FIVB matches.
Adriana and Shelda helped erase the memory of their gold medal defeat at the Sydney 2000 Games by scoring a 21-17 and 21-16 win over Cook and Nicole Sanderson in 42 minutes. Adriana and Shelda have now won six-straight matches over the Aussie pair.
The Athens 2004 Olympic Games is also the 116th "open" SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event for women. Exactly half of the finals have been Brazil against the United States. The Americans lead the gold medal head-to-head with Brazil 32-25. May and Walsh have played Adriana and Shelda in 10 FIVB gold medal matches and have won seven times.
The Australia-United States bronze medal match will open Tuesday's action at 7:30 p.m. The men's Olympic medal matches will be played Wednesday evening as Javier Bosma and Pablo Herrera of Spain challenge top-seeded Emanuel Rego and Ricardo Santos of Brazil for the gold medal.

Tribal Force, a new comic book created by two 28-year-old artists from Arizona, begins in the year 2006 with the usual mega-battle: Native superheroes must stop the U.S. government from bombing the Indians and confiscating their resource-rich reservation land. But the story quickly becomes both more human and contemporary. Basho Yazza, one of the comic book's main characters, is a Navajo law student, incest survivor and only a reluctant superhero. Sure, she can create warriors from rocks but she'd rather be studying in her dorm room. Little Big Horn, "a trouble-making, bar-brawling, beer-drinking racist dude" feels the same way. As "Gabriel Medicine God," he is no longer mute - a condition due to fetal alcohol syndrome - but the trade-offs include sprouting a cumbersome pair of buffalo horns and having to endure lectures from other superheroes.
Force is the brainchild of Jon Proudstar, a screenwriter who says
his forebears are a mix of Yaqui, Mayan, Jewish and Latino, and
artist Ryan Huna Smith, who grew up on the Chemehuevi reservation
outside of Tucson. The two men say their comic, although full of
blood, guts and green ooze like most, tries to offer positive role
models for Native American youths who must learn to survive in two
cultures. They sold 12,000 copies of the first issue last summer
before their California-based publisher, Mystic Comics, went
bankrupt. The second issue is finished but waiting for another

By Matthew Blank
I got to play Colin, Maggie got to play Mary and Celia got to playů Betsy the Scullery Maid (1 line)! Sorry Cels.
Iĺve never gotten to be in a Sondheim show and hope to get to play either of those at some point.
25 Sep 2012
Some films you consider classics:
"Annie Hall"
"Singinĺ in The Rain"
Pop culture guilty pleasure:
I get all my pop culture news from Michael Buckley of the "What the Buck" show on YouTube. He is a hysterical guy and one of the first people to support me as a filmmaker. I owe a lot to him!
Favorite cities:
Minneapolis, Seattle, San Francisco
First CD/Tape/LP you owned:
Celia bought me the Ragtime concept album for Christmas in 1996. It was before I actually owned a CD player.
First stage kiss:
I had my first onstage kiss last year with Nikki M. James in a reading of the new musical Rocket Science. Right after that she won a Tony. Coincidence? I think not!
Favorite or most memorable onstage role as a child/teenager:
The last show I ever got to perform onstage with both of my sisters was The Secret Garden. I adore that show and getting to work with my sisters was very memorable.
How you got your Equity card:
I did a tour of Music Man when I was nine. My mind exploded a little bit when our Newsies choreographer Chris Gattelli made the connection that he was Tommy Djilas opposite my Winthrop.
Favorite pre-/post- show meal:
ĹShroom Burger from Shake Shack. I pretend itĺs healthy because itĺs vegetarian but in reality itĺs two Portobello mushrooms stuffed with cheese and Panko breadcrumb fried. Iĺd probably be better off with a burger.
Favorite liquid refreshment:
Iĺm on such a juicing kick, so anything made with my Breville Juicer.
Pre-show rituals or warm-ups:
I walk pretty much on the side of my foot as Crutchie. He has a gimp leg and I tried to make it as mangled and realistic as I could. Luckily, we had a physical therapist come in and custom-create a warm up for me so I donĺt hurt myself during the show. Also my Liz Caplan vocalises.
Most challenging role you have ever played:
I played the central character of ôHalö in the musical Rocket Science last year. Itĺs about a boy with a severe stutter trying to be on the debate team. Itĺs an incredibly powerful show and I had to go through both the script and score and decide on exactly what words he would get caught up on and what it would sound like. Itĺs still in development and I hope it gets a big production in New York soon!
Worst costume ever:
I played Max the Dog in the tour of Grinch. The costume actually looked awesome but weighed about 15 pounds and, after doing 4 shows a day, was soaking wet by the end.
Worst job you ever had:
I was a telemarketer for University of Michigan. I would have to call recent graduates and beg them for money. It was very stressful having people yell at me all day. Turns out most folks donĺt have cash to spare when theyĺve paid for four years of college.
If you could trade roles/tracks with anyone in the show for a week, who would it be?
Iĺd play Medda. She gets to sing a song called ôThatĺs Rich!ö which is pretty much my personal anthem.
Favorite Disney songs (not from any of the shows you've done):
Any of the Museĺs songs from "Hercules"
Show you would most love to perform in with your siblings:
Iĺve always been in love with the idea of doing Andrew Lippaĺs John & Jen with either one of my sisters. I think we might have something to bring to the table.
Leading man role you've been dying to play: Iĺm not so sure anyoneĺs ready to accept me as a leading man but two roles Iĺm dying to play are Toby in Sweeney Todd and Jack in Into the Woods.
Leading lady role you wish you could play: Caroline Thibodeaux in Caroline, or Change. Still looking for the right open-minded producer. Tweet me if youĺre interested: @KeenanBlogger
Something about you that surprises people: Whatĺs my secret? Iĺm afraid of the dark and I sleep with a night-light.
Something you are incredibly proud of:
The thing Iĺm most proud of is my web series, "Submissions Only." When my co-creator, Kate Wetherhead, and I decided to make this web series, we had zero experience in writing or directing a sitcom and have somehow crafted a series that is really resonating with people both within and outside our community.
Something you're embarrassed to admit:
Iĺm a bit of a slob. I still havenĺt totally outgrown my college dorm room cleaning habits.
Career you would want if not a performer:
I would want a job where I got paid to make random YouTube videos with my friends. That exists, right?
Three things you can't live without:
Flamin' Hot Cheetos, my camera, my friends
"I'll never understand whyů"
ů people donĺt want gay people to get married.
Words of advice for aspiring performers:
Have other interests outside of the business. Itĺs so easy to get wrapped up in the drama and politics involved with auditioning and performing. I find that having other hobbies makes such a huge difference. Not only does it give you an outlet but informs who you are as a person and makes you a more interesting, well-rounded performer.
I got to play Colin, Maggie got to play Mary and Celia got to playů Betsy the Scullery Maid (1 line)! Sorry Cels.
Iĺve never gotten to be in a Sondheim show and hope to get to play either of those at some point.

- Release Date: Jun 3, 2009
- Summary: Somewhere between heaven and the underworld -- in the center of a quiet lake -- stood an ancient castle known as Aventheim. One night, without warning, denizens of the netherworld emerged and slaughtered the kingdom; nary a soul was left alive. Within an abandoned, long-forgotten church deep in the woods, a wisp is set free. Bereft of memory, it is drawn toward the monster-infested castle and re-awakens the souls of the vanquished knights, leading them back towards the fallen stronghold to confront the very forces of evil that took their lives. An experience unlike any before it -- Incorporating strategy RPG, real-time strategy, and shooter elements, you've never experienced a game like this. Control a Wisp with your stylus and activate the souls of deceased knights to aid you in destroying foes on the map. Enemies fire bullets in multiple directions, making it vital for players to master the unique touch controls. Over 100 playable characters -- Find and recruit the ghosts of seven different classes of knights from your kingdom, and learn of their pasts, hopes, dreams, and untimely deaths. Sacrifice their souls to one another to balance their skills and create your ultimate party. A tale from two perspectives -- This twice-told legend entangles you in a dark and brooding tale that is simultaneously examined through events both past and present. Complete the adventure to unlock the ability to play through the game with a new narrative twist, placing the antagonist in the starring role. [Atlus USA]… Expand

There's just so much content here and so much complexity that once you get a handle on how the game works, it's going to be difficult to stop playing.
Knights is something completely unique and as such has a learning curve. But, once the game is understood, it only gets better and better.
Knights in the Nightmare isn't a game that everybody will love simply because it's one of the most complex games ever to be released. There is no game to really compare it to, except for maybe Ikaruga, and that's not even an RPG.
Knights in the Nightmare, while complicated, is an excellent game worthy of players' time and effort.
Those of you willing to take the challenge will find a beautiful, genre-bending game with near-endless amounts of strategy, customisation and content. Truly, Knights In The Nightmare is a game worthy of the title "hardcore".
Knights in the Nightmare isn't a bad game; the combat system is addictive as hell, and though the various elements of the game that might seem like an odd mix, together they make a lot of sense. It just tries to do too much, so instead of a historic must-play that changes the genre forever, we get a quirky, worthwhile oddity.
It fails in the most fundamental aspect: the gameplay. It's generally dull. Despite a high initial learning curve – usually the sign of a game with depth and complexity – Knights in the Nightmare is shallow and simple.

PLATTSBURGH — A convicted killer's attempt to keep a network television movie off the air that portrays the murder was lifted with the help of a Lake Placid attorney.
Christopher Porco, now 29, was convicted of murdering his father and trying to kill his mother with an ax in their Delmar home in November 2004. His mother was physically disfigured the attack.
Porco was a student at the University of Rochester when he was charged.
He has been incarcerated at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora since December of 2006 on convictions of second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder.
In January, Porco "had an understanding that there was going to be a movie broadcast based on the investigation of events that led to his prosecution and conviction for murder," said Lifetime television network co-counsel Michael J. Grygiel of Greenberg Traurig LLP in Albany.
However, Porco had not seen the film and therefore had no first-hand knowledge of its content, Grygiel said.
On March 19, New York State Supreme Court Judge Robert J. Muller issued a restraining order that would temporarily ban Lifetime from airing "Romeo Killer: The Christopher Porco Story" to protect Porco's privacy.
The film was scheduled to premiere on March 23, but the hearing wasn't scheduled until April 26, according to court documents.
"The time constraints were quite pressing," said attorney Matthew D. Norfolk of Briggs Norfolk LLP in Lake Placid, who served as co-counsel for Lifetime Entertainment Services Inc.
The order was suspended on March 21 based on an emergency application filed by Lifetime with the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division in Albany, Grygiel said.
The TV movie then aired as scheduled.
Lifetime spokesman Les Eisner told the Associated Press, "It's a sad day when a convicted murderer who has exhausted all of his appeals can convince any court to stop people from exercising their First Amendment right to talk about his crime."
