OMAHA (DTN) -- Someday soon farmers may be able to scout and manage crops with the precision that comes from the bird's eye view of a camera flying 400 feet above your field.
But not just yet.
Along with the rest of the public, farmers must slow down and wait for the Federal Aviation Administration's final regulations on the commercial use of drones -- unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)-- before they dive into profit-making schemes involving drones.
"There is no question that the technology is 100 miles ahead of the FAA right now," said Chad Colby, a product support lead for 360 Yield Center and licensed pilot with extensive UAV experience. "But everybody is really impatient and that's a big problem."
Until recently, most farmers using UAVs have been safely and legally operating as hobbyists, who are not subject to FAA regulations on unmanned aircrafts. Then on June 25, the FAA proposed a new interpretation of "hobbyists" that explicitly excludes farming activities.
Under a list of sample activities that would not qualify as hobbyist or recreational use of a UAV, the document lists, "Determining whether crops need to be watered that are grown as part of commercial farming operation."
Vendors are lining up at summer farm shows selling UAVs that can range in price from hundreds of dollars to $25,000. Higher-end models can transmit images back to a computer to help scout crop damage or even use infrared to detect disease or quality issues.
Because the commercial use of UAVs is currently banned by the FAA, that single line throws an already bustling area of agricultural activity and experimentation into a strange gray region, said Kent Shannon, a natural resources engineering specialist with the University of Missouri.
"There are folks out there marketing these tools specifically for farmers; you just have to understand the interpretation that FAA has put out there," Shannon said. "Is that a set-in-stone regulation? No. But it's a guideline."
Specifically, the document is a proposed new interpretation that is currently up for public comment through Sept. 23. Anyone can read the proposed interpretation here: http://goo.gl/…, and voice their opinions on it here: http://goo.gl/….
Both Shannon and Colby noted that farmers must be careful to keep their UAV activity within the other hobbyist guidelines for now. That means flying under 400 feet, always keeping the UAV in your line of sight, using an aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds, and never flying closer than five miles to an airport.
It also means farmers should not be using an UAV for any obvious commercial activity, such as hiring someone to fly over their fields.
"Under no circumstances should a farmer pay any money for someone to fly, because that is unequivocally breaking the rules," Colby explained.
Nor should growers try to sell or profit commercially from the images their UAV flights might produce, he said.
The FAA does list "Taking photographs with a model aircraft for personal use," as a clear hobbyist activity, so farmers can safely do just that.
In the proposed interpretation, the FAA concludes with a statement about the purpose of these regulations: "The law is clear that the FAA may take enforcement action against model aircraft operators who operate their aircraft in a manner that endangers the safety of the national airspace system," the document concludes.
Since farmers flying UAVs over their fields are unlikely to endanger national airspace, they should not consider themselves the target of FAA enforcement, Colby said.
"The FAA is going to make sure air space is safe," he said. "If a grower has a UAV and you're going to fly it recreationally -- maybe over a corn field -- as long as you're not disrupting air space and playing by the rules, you won't have a problem."
Originally, the FAA was scheduled to set forth official regulations on the commercial use of UAVs in September 2015, but both Colby and Shannon noted that the agency is unlikely to meet that deadline.
For now, Colby and Shannon recommended taking steps to ensure UAVs don't draw enforcement action. That includes using pre-programmed flight patterns, limiting a UAV flight to elevations no higher than 400 feet and keeping it within your sight. Don't fly in high winds or bad weather, over homes or buildings, and don't push your battery life, Colby added.
Taking time to comment on the new interpretation will also help the FAA finalize its decision on farming uses of UAVs, Colby said. "The challenge is making sure FAA realizes how valuable this is to the American farmer," he said.

Eagles QB Kevin Kolb will get the Week Six start against the Falcons, with Michael Vick still suffering from a rib injury.
Vick hurt his ribs in Week Four and has been unable to participate in practice, although he did throw on the side Thursday and is listed as questionable for the game against his former team.
Kolb led Philadelphia to a 27-24 win over the 49ers in Vick's absence last week.
The way we see it
Kolb was the Eagles' starter to begin the season and Philadelphia has trust in him under center. It will be the third start of the season for Kolb, although he threw only 10 passes in the season opener before suffering a concussion.
Fantasy Spin
Kolb could be a decent fill-in for quarterbacks who are injured or on a bye week. He threw for 253 yards and a touchdown last week and will be facing a middle-of-the-pack Falcons pass "D" that's giving up 223.4 yards per game and has allowed five TDs.

Program Type
Field school
Affiliation: American Research Center in Sofia
Project Director: Eric De Sena and Emil Nankov
Project Description
The American Research Center in Sofia (www.arcsofia.org) is pleased to announce the second summer Archaeological Field School at Heraclea Sintica (Bulgaria). Developing upon a successful first season in 2012, ARCS is expanding the program to include a 10-day pre-excavation excursion to archaeological sites in Bulgaria.
Students will arrive in Sofia on May 29 and will spend two full days exploring the archaeology and history of this beautiful city. On June 1, the Team will begin an archaeological journey, visiting sites and museums in Pleven, Svishtov, Ruse, Shumen, Varna, Sozopol, Kazanlak, Plovdiv and other smaller sites. Two nights will be spent along the Danube River and two nights will be spent on the Black Sea. We will arrive in the city of Petrich on June 8, the nearest city to the excavations at Heraclea Sintica. The excavation Team will reside in a hotel in Petrich during the 3-week excavation season. Archaeological work is conducted Monday-Friday with additional excursions to northern Greece and Republic of Macedonia on weekends. The Team will be accompanied back to Sofia on June 30, where they will stay one night, departing from Sofia on July 1.
Situated on the slopes of an extinct volcano, near the confluence of the Strumenshnica (ancient Pontos) and Struma (ancient Strymon) rivers, Heraclea Sintica was an important Hellenistic city. The location of Heraclea Sintica along the Strymon River and at the junction between valleys leading west into Illyricum and south into Greek Macedonia, contributed toward the wealth of the city as a commercial center. The city thrived in the Roman and Late Antique periods, declining in the early Middle Ages. The current ARCS Field School focuses upon a sequence of architectural remains, some of which have been identified as a district for craftsmen.
The fee for the ARCS Summer Archaeology Program is $1,400, which covers the cost of lodging in Sofia, and the cities where we will stay during the pre-excavation excursion, ground transportation during the excursion and museum/site tickets during the excursions; thanks to an ARCS subsidy, the cost of housing, ground transportation and most meals are covered during the excavation season at Heraclea/Petrich. This fee does not cover lunch or dinner during the excursions, international travel to/from Sofia, travel insurance or academic credits; the fee also does not cover dinner on Saturdays and lunch/dinner on Sundays during the excavation season. Students interested in obtaining academic credits should contact Dr. De Sena (firstname.lastname@example.com)
For full consideration, prospective students should submit an application to Dr. Emil Nankov (firstname.lastname@example.com) by February 15, 2013.
Period(s) of Occupation: Hellenistic, Roman, Late Antique
Project Size: 1-24 participants
Minimum Age: 18
Experience Required: no
Room and Board Arrangements
During the pre-excavation academic excursion, the ARCS Team will stay in hotels in Sofia, Svishtov, Ruse, Varna and other cities in Bulgaria. During the excavation component of the Program, the Team will reside in a three-star hotel in Petrich, BG, 12 km from the site of Heraclea Sintica. Breakfast is provided by the hotels.
Lunch and dinner are not provided during the pre-excavation component of the Program. Lunch and dinner are provided Monday-Friday at the hotel in Petrich during the excavations. A picnic lunch is provided on the Saturdays during the excavation when the Team is led on field trips in SW Bulgaria, Greece and Republic of Macedonia.

Health experts met at Albany State University, Wednesday afternoon, to talk about ways to meet the area's health challenges.
Representatives from different health organizations presented information about their work in reducing health disparities in Albany.
Speakers discussed health problems such as obesity, cancer and teen pregnancy.
ASU's health disparities research community organizers will take the information learned today and apply it to their research.
"If we do research into health disparities, we'll hopefully be able to find out why they exist in the first place and then start to figure out how to resolve them," said organizer Judith Rosenbaum.
Health representatives and concerned community members are invited to continue the discussion Thursday at noon in the ACAD building on the ASU campus.

Tabletop Dragon
In the eleventh hour, Maleficent transforms herself into a formidable dragon to prevent Prince Phillip's escape from her dungeon. Just as it appears that the Prince will meet his demise, the three fairies work their magic on his sword, and it is the dragon that is ultimately defeated. Inspired by the villainess's infamous fiery reptile, this tabletop paper model is ready to strike a scary pose, making it a fabulous Halloween, or year round, decoration. Younger kids may need some help cutting out the intricate spikes and claws, but they'll have fun fitting the pieces together and embellishing them with glitter glue.
You'll need:
- Template for Tabletop Dragon
- Scissors
- Black poster board or heavy cardstock
- Yellow cardstock
- Purple craft paper
- Glue stick
- Black marker
- Glue sealer (such as Mod Podge)
- Small foam brush
- Glitter glue
- Glue dots
- 2 small faux gems (for eyes)
- Yellow ribbon
1. Print the template and cut out the pieces. Glue the three body pieces together as shown to create a pattern for cutting a full dragon body out of black poster board. Next, cut out a pair of forelegs and a pair of hind legs from black poster board and a pair of wings and two gills from yellow cardstock.
2. Place a piece of purple craft paper atop a piece of yellow cardstock and cut out two matching underbelly pieces. Leave the yellow piece whole and cut the purple piece into sections similar to those printed on the template.
3. Glue the purple sections atop the yellow piece, spacing them slightly apart, as shown.
4. Glue the completed underbelly atop the dragon, matching up the lower edges.
5. Use a black marker to draw web lines on the wings and gills. Then brush a coat of sealer on the fronts and backs of the four pieces. Once the sealer dries (it won't take long), your child can embellish them with glitter glue.
6. Likewise, seal all the body and leg pieces and accent the claws and spikes with glitter glue.
7. Glue the legs to the dragon body, as shown, adjusting them so that the dragon will stand freely on a tabletop.
8. Glue the wings and gills in place, as shown.
9. Stick faux gems to the head for the dragon's eyes. And, for the finishing touch, add a little "fire" by gluing a piece of ribbon extending from the mouth.

A child kept in a caged up, covered in filth and given little food or water. His father and stepmother are in jail for the abuse, but his adoptive parents say that's not enough.
Now they're suing child protective agencies saying social workers should have done more to protect the little boy.
"The nightmares are going to haunt him for the rest of his life," said Attorney Richard Filson.
Saved from deplorable living conditions in 2010 when a deputy found the Port Charlotte boy sleeping in a bathroom vanity -- what investigators found out next shocked everyone.
His biological father and stepmother, Thomas and Kimberly Boone, were sentenced to four years in prison after detectives say they locked their son in his room without food, refused to allow him to use the bathroom and smeared feces and urine in his face as punishment.
"There were stains from not being able to use the bathroom in the corner of the room," Filson said.
Filson is representing Laura and William Tywater, the boy's aunt and uncle and now his adoptive parents.
In their lawsuit they claim case workers with DCF, Charlotte Behavior Health and Lutheran Services Florida failed to help the now 13-year-old boy when he was repeatedly reaching out to them for help.
"They were told by Lutheran Services Florida that everything was fine in the home and that the child was lying," Filson said.
Pages into the complaint, the Tywaters say a DCF employee did nothing to protect the child and that they knew he had not bathed for months -- when a deputy found him, he weighed only 50 pounds.
They say he's still suffering mental and emotional anguish, insecurity, self-revulsion and damage to his self-esteem and self-worth. More than three years later though, their family lawyer tells us he's starting to make improvements.
"He's going to need counseling for a long, long time…he's doing a lot better…he was saved from a terrible situation and fortunately he's in a very nurturing and constructive place right now," Filson said.
The state has 30 days to respond to this 13-page complaint. Lutheran Family Services and Charlotte Behavioral Health have 20. All three agencies declined to comment about these allegations today.

(also known as Alarm or conditioning therapy)
One of the least invasive approaches used to treat bed-wetting. It involves the use of a sensor (moisture alarm device) attached to a child=s underwear or pajamas. When wetting occurs a buzzer sounds and wakes the child . Eventually, the child should wake on their own as he/she learns to sense bladder fullness. Other behavior procedures include recording whether you were wet or dry each morning and the use of incentive systems to keep people motivated to continue wearing the alarm.
The bladder is like a balloon that holds the urine produced by the kidneys.

Late JU rally falls short in loss to Air Force

Air Force scored five consecutive goals in the third quarter then held off a final JU charge as the Dolphins fell to the Falcons 11-8 at Bolles High School Tuesday.
Air Force (4-4) expanded a 5-4 halftime lead to a 10-5 lead after three by scoring two goals in six seconds and another two in the last 43 seconds of the quarter.
The Dolphins (4-5, 1-1 MAAC) tried coming back in the final period as Ari Waffle scored an assisted goal (from Owen Green) with 13:54 to play and Donovan Lange and Quint Miller scored with :43 and :24 to go but the game was out of reach.
Waffle, who had eight goals Saturday against VMI, had a pair against Air Force as did Max Gurowski. Cameron Mann, who now has a point in 37 consecutive games, and Conor Igoe had the other tallies. Igoe's was one of the fanciest of the season as he hit the net after a spin move and tied the score at 5 with 10:39 to go In the third, before the Falcon outburst. He also had an assist as did TJ Kenary.
Mann and goalkeeper Pete DeLuca led the way defensively as Mann had five ground balls and a caused turnover and Deluca had four ground balls, one caused turnover and saved 12 of the 37 shots he faced.
The Dolphins return to Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play Saturday when the travel to Siena for a game with a noon start.
That game will be shown on Time Warner Cable Sports throughout New York state on the following channels: Albany - Channel 3 (SD) and 1803 (HD); Buffalo - Channel 13; Rochester - Channel 26 (Tape Delay); Syracuse - Channel 13; New York City/Hudson Valley - Channel 197.

---- —
The Newport Flower Show in Newport, R.I., is an annual celebration of horticultural achievement as well as the beauty of the Newport Mansions.
The Newport Flower Show celebrated its 18th year this June with the themed show "Jade: Eastern Obsessions," taking visitors on an exotic journey to the Far East. Visitors were served ginger- and lemongrass-infused tea, lobster Rangoon and Asian-style chicken wings. The Asian food complemented the classic American tradition of the flower show, hosted at the historic Rosecliff mansion, one of the most beautiful and historic venues in the world. The Newport Mansions showcase more than three centuries of American architectural achievement, and the Newport Flower Show honors the legacy of the mansions in celebration but also in practice — the revenue the flower show generates is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the grounds.
One popular food item served was the lemongrass- and ginger-infused iced tea. The spice of the ginger paired with the tartness of lemon made for a refreshing and authentic Asian drink.
Ginger- and Lemongrass-Infused Iced Tea
1 cup smashed lemongrass
1, 2-inch piece fresh ginger, unpeeled, sliced and smashed
3 tablespoons Thai basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
4 cups filtered water
4, 2-gram bags of green tea
4 lemon slices, optional
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste, optional
Edible orchids for garnish
1. Combine lemongrass, mint, Thai basil and ginger slices in a large glass bowl.
2. Bring 4 cups filtered water nearly to a boil; pour over tea bags in a pitcher. Steep tea for 90 seconds. Squeeze tea bags into pitcher and discard bags. Take half of this liquid after it has cooled slightly for about 10 minutes and pour over the aromatic herbs. Cover this bowl and place in the refrigerator. Put the other half of the tea in a glass pitcher in the refrigerator as well. Tea will taste best if these rest overnight.
3. Strain lemongrass-ginger water into pitcher with green tea, squeezing out excess liquid. Serve with lemon slices and lemon juice. Garnish with a sprig of mint, couple of basil leaves and a fresh orchid. Should not need any sugar for the ginger and lemongrass will add a "sweet" quality.
Also best with lots of ice! Enjoy!

Prized New Jersey-based recruit Darius Hamilton will make his choice between Rutgers and Miami on Tuesday, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. National Signing Day is on Wednesday.
Hamilton, a product of Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, N.J., is considered a 5-star defensive end recruit. His high school coach told the Star-Ledger that he was leaning toward Rutgers, but has had some second-thoughts after Greg Schiano left the school to take the head coaching job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Hamilton will prove to be the first big test of new Rutgers coach Kyle Flood's tenure. His hiring was apparently heralded as a positive among many of the state's high school coaches. Keeping a blue-chip recruit like Hamilton in state would seem to a significant sign that he will be able to maintain what Schiano really started. In addition to being Rutgers' assistant/offensive line coach, Flood was also one of Schiano's top recruiters.
Be sure to follow this StoryStream for the latest on Hamilton's decision. For more discussion, check out Rutgers blog On the Banks.

---- — MASSENA — The Plattsburgh State men's hockey team found itself trailing by two after one period, but a four-goal second period helped the Cardinals (2-0, 2-0) rally for a 6-4 win over Potsdam in a SUNY Athletic Conference game at Massena Arena Saturday.
The Bears (2-1, 1-1) jumped out front with just 1:14 gone in the first period with a Billy Pascalli goal. The Bears stretched the lead to 2-0 at the 9:49 mark when Kenny Simon found he back of the net for his first of the year.
"I thought we had two mental lapses off of faceoffs that cost us two goals," Plattsburgh State head coach Bob Emery said. "(Potsdam) did a great job blocking shots and getting in front of their goalie."
With 14 minutes left in the second period, Plattsburgh State began to dig itself out of the hole when Alex Brenton was able to deflect a puck in front of the net to cut the Bears' lead to 2-1.
The Cardinals tied the game when Mark Constantine scored on the power-play with 11:35 gone in the second. Mike Grace took a shot from the blue line and Constantine knocked home the rebound to make it 2-2.
Plattsburgh State took its first lead of the evening when the power-play unit cashed in another opportunity with 2:53 remaining in the second period. Nick Jensen gave the Cardinals a 3-2 lead with assists from Brandon Beadow and Dillan Fox.
At 18:27 of the middle period, Plattsburgh's Max Balaban was whistled for a holding penalty to put the Cardinals down a skater. Jared Docking picked up his own pass and beat Potsdam goaltender Austin Keiser for the short-handed goal, giving Plattsburgh State a 4-2 lead after two periods of play.
"We came out opportunistic and did a good job on the power play," Emery said. "The guys did a good job of responding. Certain players stepped-up with leadership responsibilities, but we need to be more balanced in that department.
"We came out with the 4-2 lead and committed a turnover that gave them a breakaway. We were fortunate it didn't sting us."
The Bears would not go down without a fight as Arnold netted an unassisted short-handed goal at 3:14 of the third to trim the Plattsburgh State lead to 4-3. The Cardinals answered back at 12:51 with the eventual game-winner by Connor Gorman but Potsdam made it interesting with a power-play goal from Trevor Cope with 1:51 remaining in regulation.
An empty-net goal by Alex Jensen at 19:15 would finally put the Bears away and give the Cardinals the 6-4 victory.
"It was a tough game, but we've had great teams have bad showings against Potsdam on the road," Emery said. "We learned a lot about ourselves (Saturday night). Our leadership is good at the top, but it has to be better in the middle. We're a work in progress."
Plattsburgh State went 2-for-7 on the power-play and finished with 34 shots on goal. The Bears went 1-for-6 with the man advantage and took 24 shots.
Josh Leis made 20 saves to earn the win in his second-straight start for Plattsburgh State. Keiser turned away 28 of the 34 shots he faced in the loss for the Bears.
The Cardinals return home Friday for a full weekend of conference play. Plattsburgh opens the weekend on Friday with a rematch of last year's SUNYAC semifinals against Buffalo State. The weekend wraps up with a Saturday night matchup against Fredonia State. Both games are set for 7 p.m. at the Stafford Ice Arena.

Guys & Girls:
Great People – The guys and the girls are all great people. Think of medical school as an extension of college, you have all sorts. It just depends on who you decide to hang out with. Everyone is pretty accepting though. It seems like everyone is dating someone though but that often happens after we all get here. Medical students are on the prowl!
It's Geared Towards Medical Students – There is no undergrad, so most of the resources are focused on medical students and grad students.
Campus Housing:
There is no housing/dorms available at the campus, only off-campus housing
I Just Got Accepted There – My knowledge of the facilities are limited, but from what I saw it seemed very clean, well-kept, and spacious.

SERIES: Kennesaw leads, 6-2
AT KENNESAW STATE: Kennesaw leads, 4-0
LAST MEETING: @Kennesaw State 69, FGCU 68 - Feb. 10, 2011
FGCU (5-8, 1-2) will look to get back on track Wednesday night when it wraps up its first Atlantic Sun road trip of the season at Kennesaw State. The Eagles entered the two-game swing on a two-game win streak, but their attempt at winning three in a row for the first time this season was turned away at Mercer on Monday night. FGCU will attempt to accomplish a different first on Wednesday, as it looks to pick up its first road win of the season. The Owls (3-11, 0-3) are coming off a tough 68-62 home loss to Stetson and are searching for their first A-Sun win under head coach Lewis Preston.
FGCU will look to snap a four-game losing streak against Kennesaw State, who owns a 6-2 edge in the all-time series. The Owls completed the season sweep of the Eagles for the second straight year last February when Spencer Dixon drilled a three-pointer with seven seconds left to give KSU a 69-68 win. Five of the eight meetings between the two teams have been decided by eight points or less, including a pair of one-point contests that have gone in favor of the Owls. Sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL averaged 16.5 points over last year's two meetings, while Kennesaw is led by Markeith Cummings' 20.5 points per game against the Eagles, including a 30-point outburst as a freshman in 2009-10.
Freshman BERNARD THOMPSON earned a pair of weekly awards in the past two days. He was named the College Sports Madness A-Sun Player of the Week, while the league office named him the Newcomer of the Week on Tuesday. Thompson leads A-Sun freshmen in scoring (11.8), while averaging 4.6 rebounds , 2.1 assists and ranking second in the A-Sun in steals (1.9).
A new era of Kennesaw State basketball began on April 20, 2011, when Lewis Preston was named head coach. Just 20 days after FGCU named coach Enfield its second-ever head coach, Preston took over at KSU after three years as an assistant at Penn State. Prior to Monday's home game vs. Stetson, Kennesaw played eight straight games away from home. The Owls have dropped nine of their last 10 entering Wednesday night's tilt, but have played a challenging schedule that included Wisconsin, Auburn, Missouri, Missouri State, St. Mary's and Ohio. The Owls are led by the A-Sun's top scoring tandem (30.6) and a pair of 1,000-point scorers in junior Markeith Cummings and senior Spencer Dixon. Selected as the A-Sun Preseason Player of the Year, Cummings is on track to defend his league scoring crown this season, averaging a conference-best 17.2 points. Cummings owns a league-high five 20-point games and is the A-Sun's active leading scorer (1,364). Dixon broke the 1,000-point barrier earlier this season and is in the top 10 in the A-Sun in scoring (13.4) and assists (3.9)
LAST GAME: Hot Start Helps Mercer Cruise Past FGCU
MACON, Ga. - Senior Justin Cecil scored 21 first half points and Mercer owned a 20-point lead at the break, as the Bears cruised to a 76-54 Atlantic Sun win over FGCU on Monday night at the University Center. • Cecil finished with a game-high 24 points to help Mercer (10-6) grab its league-leading 10th win of the season while improving to 2-1 in the A-Sun. The loss snaps a two-game win streak for the Eagles (5-8), who are now 1-2 in league play. • The Green and Blue were led by 13 points each from sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL and freshman BERNARD THOMPSON. Varidel, who came into the game second nationally in three-point percentage, knocked down 2-of-3 beyond the arc and had three steals. Before recording his team-leading 10th double figure game of the year, Thompson was named the A-Sun Player of the Week by College Sports Madness. • Mercer lived up to its top defensive ranking in the A-Sun, holding FGCU to its third-lowest point total of the season after it average 83.5 points the previous two contests. The Eagles shot 42 percent (20-48) from the floor and committed 20 turnovers that led to 20 Mercer points. • Cecil's career-high 24 points came on 9-of-14 from the floor over 25 minutes.
On March 31st, the FGCU men's basketball program got a new look for its 10th season in program history when ANDY ENFIELD was named head coach. Enfield, who spent the previous five years as an assistant with Florida State, is the second head coach in FGCU's brief history. While at FSU, Enfield was a part of two teams that advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and back-to-back clubs that lead the NCAA in defensive field goal percentage.
Sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL is starting to find his stroke that helped him finish fifth in the nation among all freshmen in 2010-11 with 78 three-pointers. Varidel has made 27 of his last 46 three-point attempts (59 percent) to rank second in the nation and tops in the A-Sun in three-point percentage (.533). He is also third in the A-Sun in threes per game (2.5). The Versoix, Switzerland native has made three or more treys in a game seven times this season, including five of the last eight. He has also reached double-digits six times, including a team-best two 20-point outings. Over the last three games, Varidel has led the team in scoring three straight games, averaging 16.3 points.
FGCU leads the A-Sun at 40 percent clip from three-point range for the season, a mark that ranks 19th in the nation. The Eagles have made at least eight threes in six straight games and are fourth in the A-Sun at 7.1 per game clip. Sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL leads the conference individually, shooting a scorching 53 percent (32-60) from beyond the arc, while junior SHERWOOD BROWN and freshman FILIP CVJETICANIN are shooting 40 percent or higher with double figure makes. Defensively, FGCU is limiting opponents to 33 percent from long range.
Through 13 games, FGCU averages 28.1 points per game off the bench, a figure that results in a +7.2 margin per game. The bench has supplied a double figure scorer in 11 games, including the team's leading scorer on eight occasions, while supplying 25+ points nine times as a unit. At SMU, sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL poured in 20 points on 6-of-7 from three-point land and turned in another 20-point game against Maine to account for the top two efforts off the bench.
FGCU's freshmen class has wasted little time making an impact, accounting for 47 percent of the scoring, 35 percent of the rebounds and 65 percent of the assists. Led by combo guard BERNARD THOMPSON'S 11.8 points per game, freshmen account for three the Green and Blue's top five scorers. Point guard BRETT COMER is second in the A-Sun with 5.2 helpers, a mark that ranks fourth among freshmen nationally and 40th overall. Comer is fourth on the team in scoring (8.3) followed by Dante Holmes' 8.0 points. Thompson's 11.8 points are tops among all freshmen in the A-Sun and are joined by 4.6 rebounds per game. Thompson has scored in double figures a team-high 10 times, while Comer has done so in five games and both in the same game on five occasions. FILIP CVJETICANIN has reached double figures twice. At least one of the four freshmen has scored in double figures in 11 of 13 games.
A season-best five players reached double figures in FGCU's two wins over Toledo and Maine, while the Eagles have had 16 double-digit scorers over the last four games. A total of eight players have reached the double-digit plateau this season, while junior SHERWOOD BROWN (11.8), freshman BERNARD THOMPSON (11.8) and sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL (11.2) all rank in the top 20 in the A-Sun in scoring. FGCU is one of four teams to have three players in the top 20 in scoring. Out of the eight different players who have scored double figures, five have led the team in scoring at least once, including three off the bench. FGCU is 3-2 when four or more players reach double figures in the same game and have done so in three of the last four contests.
First-year head coach ANDY ENFIELD has used seven different lineups through 13 games trying to find the right combination with his young team. Nine different players have started at least one game, while four freshmen have earned a starting nod. No one has started every game, while three freshmen were in the starting five each of the last five games. At least four underclassmen have started in all but two games.
Ranking among the leaders in the Atlantic Sun Conference in three statistical categories, freshman BRETT COMER is off to a fast start early in the year. Highlighted by a 10-assist effort against Prairie View and ETSU, Comer is second in the A-Sun and fourth among all freshmen nationally in assists per game (5.2). He has reached double figures in five games, resulting in 8.3 points per game. Comer has led the team in assists in all but one game and has passed out seven or more helpers four times.
Sophomore CHASE FIELER has reached double figures in five of the last seven games, averaging 8.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and nearly two blocks over that span. Fieler has reached double-digits six times this season compared to five through all of last year, and is coming off his first career double-double. Against Maine, Fieler hauled down a career-high 11 rebounds to go with 11 points and a career-best five assists. Fieler leads the team in both rebounds (5.5) and blocks (1.3), figures that rank 15th and sixth in the A-Sun, respectively. The Parkersburg, W. Va. product also leads the team with 23 offensive rebounds.
Coming off a season in which he played just 84 total minutes, redshirt junior EDDIE MURRAY is thriving under the guidance of first-year head coach ANDY ENFIELD. Armed with athleticism and leadership, Murray is providing a youthful roster with career-highs of 6.2 points and 4.2 points per game. The Fort Myers product produced his first career double-double against Toledo, going for career-bests of 11 points and 14 rebounds over 36 minutes. Murray is shooting 58 percent (32-55) from the floor over 21 minutes per game. Murray has nearly hit the totals he put up through two full seasons in just 11 games this year.
Seven of FGCU's eight losses on the season have been by 10 points or less , including six by six points or less. The Eagles' seven road opponents so far this season currently all have a winning record and a combined mark of 61-31. A trio of one-point defeats in the Fort Worth/Dallas area against TCU (73-72) and SMU (65-64), and at Nebraska (51-50) headlines the heartbreaking losses.
Highlighted by his first career double-double at Miami and a 20-point outing against ETSU, junior SHERWOOD BROWN has carried over a strong finish to his sophomore campaign into this season. Brown has reached double figures six times in 10 contests, including three straight games played, leading the team in scoring (11.8) and ranking second in rebounding (5.0) - figures that rank ninth and 19th in the A-Sun, respectively. Sparked by a career-high 26 points in last year's season finale at USC Upstate, Brown finished last February (10 games) with a 11.2 scoring average - more than four points above his season mark. Brown reached double figures in each of the final four games, averaging 18.3 points while leading the team in scoring three times. Brown's strong end to last season was capped by a career-high 26 points at USC Upstate that included seven three-pointers.
A big part of the early success of the FGCU bench has been the performances by freshman BERNARD THOMPSON and sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL off the pine. Both have also been in the starting lineup, but have turned in season-highs off the bench. Thompson has reached double figures all three games off the bench, averaging 14.7 points while shooting 53 percent (16-30). Varidel's 12.2 points per game average off the pine is 4.5 points better than his average in the starting five. Varidel poured in 20 points at SMU and against Maine, 17 at Loyola Maryland and 16 against Toledo to lead the team in scoring all four times off the bench.
Aside from being the league's top scoring freshman (11.8), BERNARD THOMPSON has used is long 6-foot-3 frame to his benefit on the defensive end. Thompson has a steal in 11 straight games, ranking second in the A-Sun at 1.9 thefts per game. During the current 11-game streak, Thompson has 10 multi-steal performances. Thompson is on pace for 58 steals, a mark that would finish top five in single-season history. As a team, FGCU equaled a season-high for the third time with 11 steals against Maine and are averaging 8.0 per game.
Highlighted by three second half performances of 15 points by three different players, FGCU has turned in some great stretches over the final 20 minutes. At Miami, FGCU tied a program D-1 record for second half points given up by limiting the Hurricanes to 18 points on 4-of-24 from the field. At Nebraska, the Eagles limited the Huskers to just 25 second half points. SHERWOOD BROWN (at Miami), BRETT COMER (Ave Maria) and BERNARD THOMPSON (at Loyola) have all scored 15 points in one second half.
Sophomore CHASE FIELER finished one block shy of equaling a program single-game record against USC Upstate (Dec. 19), turning away five shots. Fieler ranks sixth in the A-Sun with 17 blocks, helping the Eagles produce 4.5 blocks per game, a figure that is second in the league.
After averaging 10.5 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 steals over two games, freshman point guard BRETT COMER was named the Atlantic Sun Newcomer of the Week on Tuesday, Nov. 22. Comer's week was highlighted by his first career double of 15 points, 10 assists, six rebounds and four steals during a win over Prairie View A&M.

You Want Your Content To Go Viral
[leadplayer_vid id="50EE65625C110"]
We all want it. Tens of thousands, if not millions, of people watching our viral videos. Its a marketers dream to be able to see a piece of their work turn into the viral content overnight. Imagine how many people you could reach if your video or article spread around the web like wildfire!!
Millions of new fans.
Millions of new subscribers.
Millions of new buyers.
So we go out and we buy all kinds of great courses on video marketing. Or we buy the latest course on how to turn a picture into a viral traffic generator. And month after month we push out these pieces of content. And month after month we realize one thing.
Viral traffic is a pipe dream.
Don't get me wrong. You can get viral traffic to your website. Heck I try to do it everyday with every piece of content I create. But it can't be the focus of your business. If you think that you will be able to create a video, image, or blog post and share it. Then have that bring in viral traffic to you. Your dead wrong.
More importantly your focusing on the wrong thing. Your depending a lot on luck. Rather than the skill that is required to properly market online.
To make sure you understand just what it take to create a viral piece of content watch this short video from Kevin Allocca.
[leadplayer_vid id="50EDFA62CE5C8"]
Creating Content To Go Viral Can Help You
Striving to create viral content can help you when your developing new stuff for your readers. You just need to make sure that you have realistic expectations. Once your understand that not everything is going viral your going to be in the right place.
Use these three points made by Kevin when your creating your content.
- Taste makers – famous people that already have a great following. Don't let this one confuse you though. Jimmy Kimmel is not most likely going to talk about your marketing videos. But, what if someone who was already successful in your market talked about them. And that person had thousands of followers already. You can easily leverage other peoples audiences to generate traffic. Find the people who are influencers in your market. People that you see everywhere. People who are referenced a lot in your circles. These are the people who could post a comment about your content. Or share your content. Get their attention. Ask them their opinion. Interact with them.
- Communities of participation – people who follow particular topics. Your community of participation will be in your forums and groups. If your topic is search engine optimization for example. You could start creating content on sites like SEMoz.com or SearchEngineLand.com. Both of those sites have a very active community. Leverage sites like these to get your content out there. If your into blogging I created a list of sites that you can submit your content to as well. You can use my daily plan and make it yours. Just remember when your using these sites. You have to interact with other people there. Comment on their blogs. Share their stuff. Once they see you around more and more they will eventually come and check you out and do the same for you.
- Unexpectedness – You don't always have to go with the status quo when your making a point. If everyone is saying the same thing it gets boring. And it really doesn't foster a conversation. Everyone has an opinion and you need to get yours heard. So it wouldn't hurt to take the opposite side of the argument once in a while. Trust me a lot of people won't expect it. And you'll get more respect for taking a stand. Even if people disagree.
Now when creating content you need to make sure you are doing a couple things.
First is make sure that your content is original. There are plenty of great services out there where you can buy content for your website. The problem is that there are a few thousand other people buying the same content. So don't buy PLR (private label rights) content and put it on your site. You can use it to help you get ideas for your content sure. But don't put it up as your own.
Second is to make sure your researching your topic a bit before or while your writing. I am not talking about surfing 100 different sites and writing a research paper. You can get enough information to create your content from just a couple sources. Just make sure you add as many facts into your content as you can. Your opinions are great and people want to hear them. But if you back them up with fact you will increase your credibility.
With that increased credibility your shares will increase as well.
So get out there and create some viral content. And if you get famous make sure you remember me!!

The Body Glove Mavericks Invitational presented by GoPro and Universal Sports Network announced Tuesday a broadcast partnership to air the Mavericks surf competition live on national television for the first time ever.
"People are fascinated by the spectacle of big wave surfing, by humans pushing their limits and taking on what seems to be the impossible," said Mavericks pioneer and contest director Jeff Clark. "It's exciting to know that Universal Sports appreciates the heart and soul of this event, the surfers and this amazing wave, and that they will share this story live as it unfolds on contest day."
Universal Sports, a partnership between NBC Sports and InterMedia Partners, LP, will broadcast the final heats of the contest live to a nationwide audience. Round 1 has four heats with 24 surfers, announced Tuesday morning. The Semi rounds have two heats with 12 surfers and the finals come down to six surfers, vying for first place as Mavericks champion.
The broadcast date and time will be announced at least 24 hours prior to the event. In addition to broadcast coverage, the entire contest will stream live on universalsports.com and mavericksinvitational.com.
"Mavericks isn't just a wave or a surf contest. It's living story, often triumphant and at times tragic, that has become a keystone of global surf culture," said Universal Sports SVP of Digital Media and Strategic Partnerships, Edward Derse. "These courageous athletes take on immense physical and emotional challenges against the unrelenting power and persona of one of the world's legendary waves. Universal Sports is honored to be a small part of that story by bringing the Mavericks Invitational to television live for the first time."
Universal Sports Network is available on the sports tiers of Time Warner Cable, Cox, Verizon FiOS, satellite providers DIRECTV and DISH and numerous regional cable and IPTV operators in markets across the country. Additionally, Mavericks Invitational will be available to all Verizon FiOS (Ch. 596) and DIRECTV (Ch. 625) customers during this month's free preview windows.
The Mavericks Viewing Festival will be held on the day of the contest, which has not been called yet, on the grounds of the Oceano Hotel & Spa in Princeton Harbor, just down the road from Mavericks. The festival gives fans a place to gather on the coast and watch the action on jumbo HD screens, enjoy music, food and entertainment, and get exclusive commentary and access to the Awards Ceremony.
For public safety and environment protection, local authorities will close off all roads to Pillar Point, including access to the beach and bluffs.
Tickets and information are available at www.mavericksinvitational.com.

Things I liked:Quite a nice rifle. I got the .22 model and put on a UTG 3-12x44 Swat IE Scope. My first tests to align the scope caused one shot to smash the clip on the bullet box and dent the bracket for the target clip. Now that's POWER! Couple shots later and all aligned. At 15 yards I could easily place groups the size of a quarter. Lots of fun. Too bad the full auto version is no longer available.
Things I would have changed:For the price, I think it needs a battery indicator and pressure indicator. Too easy to hit the switch. It should have a safety switch that's hard to turn on and easy to turn off like many power tools. A key switch of some type would also be good for safety. The manual says the gun is damaged if it completely runs out of air - so there should be a pressure sensor shut-off when pressure is low. For over $1500 I would expect a few extra safety features. That's why only 4 stars for value for money.
What others should know:Insure you get the correct spare battery. Mine needed a female connector but the suggested accessories sold me the one with a male connector. Pyramid promptly took care of it but said some guns have male connectors. So either call them to be sure you get the right spare batteries or order them after you get your gun. It takes a moment to get used to the electric trigger. One you do, it is nice. No recoil and amazingly quiet. Oh, and EXTREMELY POWERFUL! Be careful what you shoot at. Like using a real .22 rifle with sub sonic ammunition.
Things I liked:The cool factor for this rifle is off the chart! Select semiauto or full auto they are both fun and accurate. The wood stock is beautiful and the metal finish looks good too. The bottle in front makes it look front heavy but it doesn't feel that way. You don't remove the bottle to fill it. Just attach the quick connect near the gauge.(picture #6)no hassle. I like the trigger. It's accurate and feels good.
Things I would have changed:Add 3 shot burst. Larger capacity magazines.
Things I liked:I especially like the semi-auto mode great for hunting when you need a quick secod shot. The full- auto is a fun addition and is a blast to shoot. I also found it to be very accurate. The walnut stock is very nice too.
Things I would have changed:Not much...a power adjusting feature would be nice.
What others should know:Just to stock up on pellets they go fast.

↵Like All Extreme Sports, Running Onto The Playing Field Is Dumb And Wrong. And Irresistible. ↵
↵Sinister forces of temptation goad you toward the forbidden. Alcohol has done its part to convince you that it is doable. From your close-in seat in the fifth row, all that separates you from the stomping grounds of your beloved gladiators is a quick plunge over the wall and the swarming gauntlet of a couple dozen security guards and police officers. Nothing you can't handle. It's a scenario you've been turning over in your head for years, but never thought you'd find yourself in a mindset to act on it. If you can just bob and weave enough, make a few guys miss, you can be on the field long enough to steal a cheerleader grope or maybe even slap the smug clear off Jack Del Rio's [expletive]. After that, who knows, the means for a daring escape should present itself. You can think on your feet. ↵But, wait, you've seen this before. All those arm-flailing [expletive] on SportsCenter reels and YouTube clips scurrying on the field for a few fleeting moments before getting ingloriously force fed some turf by security. Nah. You're better than them. They looked so…so loutish. You're above all that, someone who can sprinkle Gallicisms in their inner monologues, far above such gutter exploits and…and you've already gone, haven't you? It sucks being a drunk person's conscience. Always being on a five-second delay, like a network television live broadcast. Instead of filtering out swearing, it keeps out reason. ↵↵
↵Streaking is not advocated, mostly because you're almost certainly going to get gang tackled by mouth-breathing rent-a-cops, arrested and banned from the stadium for life, in the process making a public jackass of yourself and your family. ↵
↵Finding yourself unable to quell the demons that compel you to rush the field? At least try to keep them at bay until an opportune moment. Or get some cash out of the deal. At the very least, only make an attempt if you know you're slippery enough to evade capture for a solid minute or so. Nothing is quite as sad as something who wastes their one big chance at public [expletive] with the epic fail of immediate apprehension. If you do, despite all the logical reasons that say you shouldn't, decide to take a shot, here are some sound suggestions: ↵↵
↵Get an unscrupulous company to sponsor you. -- That's what serial streaker Mark Roberts did when he ran out onto the field during Super Bowl XXXVIII. Hopping a knee-high barrier at Reliant Stadium, he stripped down to a G-string and shoes with a plug for gambling site GoldenPalace.com scrawled on his chest. For this, he got slapped with a $1,000 fine yet avoided any jail time. And that was during the [expletive] Super Bowl. That's like calling in a bomb threat to the White House and getting a point on your driver's license. The terms of the sponsorship were never disclosed, but even if it was a financial wash, he got to streak during the Super Bowl with little or no consequence. That's more than a little awesome. ↵↵
↵If you're going naked, be sure to wave your junk at the opposing team. -- It'll not only assert dominance, but remind them of the days when Charles Haley was in the league. ↵↵
↵If you're a woman and going naked, be sure to wave your junk at the camera. -- It's just common courtesy. Unless you're a Packers fan. Then please disregard. And put on four more layers. ↵↵
↵Have a sympathetic angle ready. -- In 2005, a 44-year-old man ran onto the field in Philadelphia holding a plastic bag emitting a cloud of dust from his outstretched arm before dropping to his knees on the 30-yard line and making the sign of the cross. Was he trying to be the next Johnny Anthraxseed? Nope. Turns out he was spreading the ashes of his recently deceased mother, who was an avid Eagles fan. Sure, it didn't stop kneejerk security storm troopers from detaining him, but you bet your beer-battered ass it inspired some clemency. ↵↵
↵Remember that the players have bottled up fan animosity. -- It can't be stressed too much that the yellow jacketed Gestapo are not your only obstacles during your jaunts onto the playing field. The players themselves will be all too happy to assist in your undoing. It's not that they're upset to have a stoppage in play. Most of them are probably exhausted and glad to have the brief respite. However, after years of having to hold back from lashing out at fans in the face of intense personal criticism on things beyond viewers' comprehension, the chance to clothesline a fan with impunity is an opportunity a player cannot soon pass up. So resist the urge to pat a linebacker on the shoulder lest you feel like getting speared in the ribs. ↵↵
↵Disrupt the game (only if it helps your team). -- In October 2005, a fan in Cincinnati rushed the field in the final minute of a Bengals-Packers game, snatching the ball from then-Packers QB Brett Favre and causing the play to be blown dead. At the time, the Packers were trailing 21-14 and trying to drive for a tying score, with the ball inside Bengals' territory. The five-minute break the incident caused allowed the Bengals' winded defense to regroup. Favre was then sacked on the following play, which contributed heavily to sealing the win for Cincy. As you can see, it's the opportunistic and savvy disruptive fan who wins the day. That he ends up getting buried alive hours later by guys who put money on the game is another matter entirely. ↵↵

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada residents who pine to play the lottery will soon be able to buy Powerball tickets.
The Primm Valley Lotto Store just over the California border announced Wednesday that it would begin selling tickets for the multi-state lottery game on April 8 of next year.
Primm is 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas. In the past, it didn't carry Powerball tickets.
The parking at the Lotto Store regularly fills up with Nevada license plates when other big jackpots come around.
A store off U.S. Highway 93 in Arizona, about 50 miles from downtown Las Vegas, also sells Powerball tickets.
Nevada is 1 of a handful of states that prohibit lotteries.

Aaric and Aaron Armstead combined for 30 of Hales Franciscan of Chicago's 61 points, leading them to a 61-47 victory over previously unbeaten Murphysboro Saturday evening in Peoria.
Junior swing man Eddie Alcantara also contributed 15 points and nine rebounds on 7-12 shooting for Hales Franciscan.
After being outscored in the first and trailing by as many as five points, Hales Franciscan outscored Murphysboro by six in the second to head into halftime up by five.
Murphysboro kept the game close through three, but Hales Franciscan proved too strong down the stretch opening up a lead in the fourth quarter. Down the stretch, Murphysboro never came within eight points of the lead.
Orlando Jarrett led Murphysboro with 16 points in the losing effort.
The only other double-digit scorer for Murphysboro was Pierre House with 11 points and seven rebounds.
Neither school is new to the final four as this was Hales Franciscan's sixth trip to the final four.
For Murphysboro, the final four marked the school's fourth trip to the final four and first in nearly 30 years.

This November voters will be able to cast a vote for or against legalizing medical marijuana in the Commonwealth.
According to WBUR, proponents have formed the Committee For Compassionate Medicine (Subtitle: 'Yes' for Massachusetts Patients).
The opponents are at MaVoteNoOnQuestion3.com.
Question 3 on the ballot reads: "A yes vote would enact the proposed law eliminating state criminal and civil penalties related to the medical use of marijuana, allowing patients meeting certain conditions to obtain marijuana produced and distributed by new state-regulated centers, or, in specific hardship cases, to grow marijuana for their own use."
So we want to know: Are you for or against bring medical marijuana to the state?
