The Cavalier Daily elects 125th staff
Lim, Elliott, Provenzano, Simonsen, Ripley to serve on managing board
The Cavalier Daily elected its 125th staff Saturday, after more than seven hours of speeches, questions and endorsements. Third-year College student Rebecca Lim, a Production editor for the past two terms, was elected editor-in-chief. Lim outlined plans in her speech to improve outreach and collaboration between different sections of the newspaper.
"I think the past two terms we've seen a lot of changes, so in this coming term we'll focus on building foundations," Lim said. She emphasized in her speech the importance of continued online development and strengthening the newly-created sections of the paper. Lim also spoke to increasing community outreach and encouraging alternative funding sources, emphasizing her work on The Cavalier Daily's ongoing crowd-funded distribution box campaign.
Lim opposed third-year College student Andrew Elliott in the race. Elliott served on the 124th staff as an assistant managing editor. Building off his three years on the paper's literary staff, Elliott focused his speech on improving staff training and using best practices from other college media outlets.
Staffers elected Elliott as managing editor, making him responsible for the non-opinion literary content of the paper.
"I want to continue our feature-length, investigative reports and explore new opportunities for collaboration both inside and outside the paper," he said.
First-year College student Lianne Provenzano was elected operations manager, responsible for content delivery, website and office operations. She is the youngest member of the managing board.
"I think it's going to be difficult," Provenzano said. "I'm going to have to live up to high standards."
Third-year College student Katherine Ripley, who has served as Opinion editor for the previous two years, was selected the next executive editor, responsible for overseeing the Opinion section and writing the newspaper's daily lead editorial.
"First of all, I'm looking forward to being the voice of the paper, because I think that is the primary role of the executive editor," Ripley said. "And secondly, but equally importantly, I'm looking forward to working with the Opinion editors to improve the content of the Opinion section and also working with the other [managing board] members to improve the paper as a whole."
Third-year Engineering student Peter Simonsen, a former Graphics editor and Online editor, fills the fifth Managing Board slot as the new chief financial officer. Simonsen manages banking and financial matters for the paper, and oversees the work of The Cavalier Daily's full-time, professional advertising manager. Simonsen stepped into his role earlier in January when third-year Commerce student Kiki Bandlow, the previous chief financial officer, left the country to complete a study abroad program.
"[I am] excited at the possibility of our professionalized manager bringing in new sources of revenue and for expanding our presence around Grounds," Simonsen said.
Kelly Kaler and Julia Horowitz, third and second-year College students, respectively, were elected as assistant managing editors for the coming term. Kaler was previously a News editor and Horowitz served as Life editor last year.
Taking the reins as News editors are third-year College students Joseph Liss and Matthew Comey. Liss served last term as a senior associate editor for News and Comey served as an assistant managing editor.
Ashley Spinks and Russell Bogue, both second-years in the College, were elected as Opinion editors.
First-year College student Julia Skorcz and second-year College student James Cassar will step in as Arts and Entertainment editors.
First-years College students Allie Jensen and Victoria Moran will come in as the new Life editors.
Third-year Commerce student Zack Bartee and third-year College student Peter Nance will serve as this term's Sport editors.
First-year College student Meg Thornberry will step in as Health and Science editor, and the position of Focus editor will be filled by first-year College student Michael Drash.
Third-year College students Sylvia Oe and Mary Beth Desrosiers will stay on as Production editors, joined by second-year College student Sloan Christopher.
Third-year Engineering student Sally Aul will step in as Online Editor, former photo editor and third-year College student Jenna Truong will take control as Social Media editor and third-year Engineering student Emilio Esteban will join returning third-year College student Stephen Rowe as Graphics editor.
The staff elected second-year College student Kelsey Grant and second-year Engineering student Marshall Bronfin as photo editors and elected second-year College student Drew Precious as Video editor.
The outgoing managing board appointed second-year College student Claire Fenichel as business manager.

From my limited foreign perspective it seems like Obama had no balls during his presidency and now plays the cool guy while the Republicans have settled on the most bland and flexible candidate.
This is not an idiosyncrasy of the US, over here the very same "decaffeination" of politicians has occurred which is, if you take into account phenomena like political correctness as decaffeinated language, a general social trend. Life might very well become a bit like in Fight Club, utterly shallow, bland and boring.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, and Tobey Maguire Named in Illegal Gambling Ring Scandal
Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, and Tobey Maguire have all been named in an illegal gambling ring. In a scandal that sounds like it could be the plot of the actors' next movie, these A-Listers could be in some trouble, as Spiderman himself is currently facing a lawsuit.
Leo, Ben, and Tobey have allegedly been using everything from secret passwords to unmarked rooms to keep the illegal gambling ring quiet. According to RadarOnline, the guys go all out to keep their secret, even playing behind closed doors with armed guards standing watch.
Are DiCaprio, Affleck, and Maguire so rich that when they get bored they resort to illegal gambling? It's a good possibility. This group of Hollywood actors, which also includes Matt Damon, George Clooney, and Brad Pitt are a modern day rat pack, and have the potential to basically run the town.
However, are the chips about to hit the fan? Maguire is accused of spending over $1 million per month on these illegal poker games. The sad part is that money could do a lot of good for many charities. What do you think about the allegations against Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, and Tobey Maguire?

This strawberry flavoured milkshake mix can be enjoyed as part of a healthy balanced diet for children. Nesquick comes in a bright yellow recyclable tub (500g) although there is a smaller size (300g) available and can be bought in most supermarkets and other various smaller retailers where it retails for around £2.74. You can choose from Strawberry, Chocolate and Banana flavours although it is strawberry being reviewed here.
The powder is pink and rather like sherbet in consistency and does not smell anything like strawberries and is slightly artificial smelling despite many references on the package relating to how healthy and non-artificial it is. However, Nestle is a fairly trusted brand and the ingredients are few and mostly made up (after sugar and Maltodexrin) of essential vitamins. The other pluses are that it contains no artificial colours, sweetners or preservatives. Personally I am not keen on the taste of it but my kids love it and they are who it is aimed at.
For use as a milkshake drink they advise 2-4 teaspoons being added to a glass of milk but I think this is quite a lot as it is basically mainly sugar even though it does have the benefit of added vitamins, expressly vitamin D which as the packaging points out allows for better absorption of calcium making it a perfect partner for the milk and helping to develop healthy bones and teeth which is particularly important for growing children especially as many don't have milk as their main drink of choice.
Warning: Many contain traces of Gluten.

A 13-year-old Wisconsin boy accused of bludgeoning to death his great-grandmother will undergo a competency hearing. Antonio Barbeau's attorney requested the hearing, and a judge granted the request Monday.
According to a criminal complaint, Barbeau and his friend Nathan Paape, also 13, used the blunt end of a hatchet to kill 78-year-old Barbara J. Olson in her home. Sheboygan Falls police say the boys then stole a purse, jewelry and coins before stealing Olson's gold Buick and driving to a nearby restaurant for pizza. A neighbor told police that he saw the Buick leaving Olson's driveway and thought that the way it was driven was uncharacteristic of an elderly woman. According to the complaint, Barbeau and Paape left the jewelry and money exposed on the rear seat of the car, "hoping someone would steal the car and get blamed for the death."
Police searched the vehicle and allegedly discovered a bloody blanket, a hatchet and a hammer in the trunk. In Barbeau's locker at a juvenile detention center where he had been sent for unrelated reasons, police say they found blood-spattered shoes. The complaint states that Nathan Paape described the details of the killing to police. While Barbeau was reluctant to talk at first, police say he admitted to killing and robbing Olson in an account that matched Paape's.
Both boys are charged as adults with first degree intentional homicide. They face life in prison if convicted. Paape's attorney has not filed a motion for a competency hearing.
Read the criminal complaint below.

CHIPPENHAM & DISTRICT SUNDAY LEAGUE DIVISION ONE PREVIEW: Tough time for title challengers
12:30pm Friday 21st February 2014 in Sport
PRESTIGE Bodyworks boast a slender one-point lead over Somerford at the top of Division One, with both teams facing potential banana skins to their promotion hopes this Sunday.
Prestige host an out-of-sorts Goatacre CC side who have not won in five, but who beat their hosts 5-1 when the teams met in November.
Corsham CC Wildcats have not been in action since they thumped Staverton 9-3 a few weeks ago, and next up for Scott Fleming side is second-placed Somerford, who won the reverse clash 5-2.
Bromham had a resounding 6-2 victory over King Arms (All Cannings) when the teams last met and although Danny Powell's side haven't been at their best for a long time, with just one win in five outings, they should have enough in the tank to complete a league double over Dean Wilson's side.
Staverton will play host to North Star A and will be slight favourites to complete a double over their guests, who they beat 5-3 in a thriller earlier this term.

Mexico Supreme Court (Suprema Corte de
Justicia de la Naci�n, or SCJN)
The Supreme Court of Justice of Mexico is the highest federal court in
Mexico. The Supreme Court of Justice, comprises of eleven
judges. It consists of a President of the Supreme Court (Chief
Justice) and ten Ministers (Associate Justices) who are
confirmed by the Senate from a list proposed by the President of
Mexico. These Justice's interpret laws and judge cases of
federal competency. Justices of the Mexico Supreme Court
must be Mexican citizens by birth and between the age of
thirty-five to sixty-five years old. They must have resided in
Mexico and held a law degree during the five years preceding
their nomination. According to the Mexico constitution, supreme
court justices are appointed for life and are only subject to
impeachment by the Chamber of Deputies. In practice, however the
justices, along with the entire federal judiciary, traditionally
submit their resignations at the beginning of each Sexenio.
Depending on the case before it, The Supreme Court of Justice
can meet either in joint session or in separate chambers. The
high court is divided into four chambers - Penal Affairs
Chamber, Administrative Affairs Chamber, Civil Affairs Chamber,
and Labor Affairs Chamber. Each chamber has five justices. There
is a fifth chamber, called the Auxiliary Chamber which is
responsible for the overload of the four regular chambers. All
Court rulings of the whole or plenary court and the separate
chambers are decided on the basis of majority opinion. The full
court can overturn the rulings by the separate chambers. Mexican
Supreme Court of Justice is prohibited by the constitution from
applying its rulings beyond any individual case.
appointment of the Supreme Court Magistrates is for life and
they can only be removed if there is a guilty verdict after
impeachment proceedings. These Supreme court magistrates then
appoint other Justices whose terms are usually six years. The
Supreme Court has original and appellate jurisdiction in four
divisions: administrative, civil, labor, and penal. Appeals from
the District courts are heard by the Circuit Courts. Other
institutions of the judiciary are the Electoral Tribunal,
collegiate, unitary and district tribunals, and the Council of
the Federal Judiciary
Mexico Federal Courts
The Supreme Court of justice has three levels of federal courts
under it and twelve Collegiate Circuit Courts, each having three
magistrates, nine Unitary Circuit Courts each having six
magistrates and sixty-eight District Courts each having one
judge. The supreme court of justice appoints the federal judges
for the lower courts. Collegiate Circuit Courts deal with the
protection of individual rights, most commonly hearing cases
where an individual seeks a writ of amparo a type of legal
protection similar to a broad form of habeas corpus that
safeguards individual civil liberties and property rights.
Collegiate Circuit Courts are similar to the United States
Courts of Appeals. Collegiate Circuit Courts are located in
Mexico City, Toluca, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Hermosillo, Puebla,
Veracruz, Torre�n, San Luis Potos�, Villahermosa, Morelia, and
Mazatl�n. The Unitary Circuit Courts are located in Mexico City,
Toluca, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Hermosillo, Puebla, M�rida,
Torre�n, and Mazatl�n. Appeals cases are also handled by Unitary
Circuit Courts.
Federal courts include the Supreme Court that comprises of 21
magistrates; 32 circuit tribunals, and 98 district courts, with
one judge each.
Special courts include a fiscal tribunal and boards of
conciliation and arbitration.
State Government organization in Mexico
Mexico has thirty-one states and a Federal District that
encompasses Mexico City and its immediate regions. Each state
has a constitution that is usually modeled on the national
charter and has the right to legislate and levy taxes other than
interstate customs duties. Similar to the federal organization
at the national level, state (and local) governments also have
executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The Governor is
the head of the state executive branch and is elected by a
simple majority for a six year term. State legislatures consist
of a single Chamber of Deputies who meet in two ordinary
sessions per year and can extend periods or call for
extraordinary sessions as needed. Deputies serve three-year
terms and may not be immediately reelected. Deputies, State
governor, State Superior Court of Justice, or a municipality
within a given state can introduce legislative bills.
Judiciary in Mexico
A Superior Court of Justice heads the
State Judiciary. State Governors appoint Justices of the
Superior Courts of Justice with approval of the state
legislatures. Superior court magistrates, in turn, appoint all
lower state court judges.
Federal District of Mexico City
The Federal District includes Mexico City and its southern
suburbs is under supervision of the president, who appoints a
Mayor also called as the Regente who holds cabinet rank as head
of the Department of the Federal District and conducts municipal
duties. Indirect election of the mayor of Federal district was
approved by congress in an electoral reform package In September
Mexico Local Government Structure
The Municipio
(Municipality) is the basic unit of Mexican government is the
municipality which is responsible for most public services such
as water, sweage, street lighting, public safety, cleaning,
maintenance, traffic, supervision of slaughterhouses and
maintenance of parks, gardens, and cemeteries. Municipalities
can also assist state and federal governments in the provision
of elementary education, emergency fire and medical services,
environmental protection and maintenance of historical
landmarks. The Regente (Mayor) heads the municipal government
along with the Ayuntamiento (Municipal Council) Municipal
governments are popularly elected for three-year terms.
According to Municipio Libre (Principle of free municipality)
Article 115 of the 1917 constitution proclaims the autonomy of
local governments.

Hastings speaks regarding Amazon entering the fight
Via IMDb.com's Studio Briefing for 10-20-04:
" Netflix Founder Predicts Online DVD Shake-Out
Netflix founder Reed Hastings said that he 'went through the normal anger, denial and grief syndrome' when he confirmed rumors that Amazon was planning to enter the online DVD rental business. However, he told today's (Wednesday) Wall Street Journal [subscribers only], he had been expecting some such occurrence. 'From inception, we have been telling our employees, there will be big new competition coming in the future; we don't know when or how. So everyone is pretty prepared for a big fight.' Hastings expressed confidence that Netflix will eventually obtain the rights from studios to distribute their films electronically as well as by mail. He said that Netflix will be able to compete with more established firms in online delivery 'by having the best brand, the best service, the best movie-choosing, the best pricing. ... Somebody has an opportunity to build a 20-million subscriber base here ... and if you do the math, 20 million subscribers is about $4 billion in [annual] revenue.' " (c) Studio Briefing

Just Look at these ridiculous lay reports!!!!
Its just easy money for these guys...
Just Look at these ridiculous lay reports!!!!
Its just easy money for these guys...
This is crazy that you mention this. A friend of mine told me about it earlier today. I was at the bar last night that is mentioned in this article. Duke girls are horny and wild and they are all DIMES. There are bunch of athlete dudes there too, undoubtedly hooking up with these girls as mentioned in the article.
Without a doubt it's their status, but the bar mentioned time and time again in this article is the most sexually charged atmosphere I've ever experienced. The last two times I was there, I had talked to a girl for less than 5 minutes when she asked me to come dance with her, which was simply her grinding into my erection along with about 50 other girls doing the same thing.

Four injured in St. Petersburg shootings
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Police are sorting out a series of events early Wednesday that left four people shot in south St. Petersburg.
Investigators worked four scenes that may all be connected.
It began when officers responded to a hit-and-run incident at Oueensboro Avenue South and 31st Street around 2:15 a.m. Officers found an abandoned white Nissan Maxima with bullet holes.
"There were no victims located in the immediate area and no blood... inside the car," St. Pete Police spokesperson Mike Puetz said. "Officers did locate drugs inside the car, but no weapons."
Around 3:45 a.m., officers at the scene were flagged down by people inside a black stretch limousine. Two men had been shot. Both men had non-life threatening gunshot wounds. The exterior of the limo had been hit by bullets.
Inside the limo, officers located a handgun and 10 other adults. The two wounded men were taken to Bayfront Medical Center, Puetz said.
The limo's occupants told the officers that someone in a black Chrysler 300 fired at them in the area of 7th Avenue South and 28th Street.
"When officers got to 7th Avenue South and 28 Street they found a black Chrysler 300 on the side of the road occupied by a lone adult male who was suffering from a bullet wound to his upper body," Puetz said.
Investigators worked to determine if there were any other occupants in the car who may have fled the area prior to the officers' arrival, or if the wounded male had been shot by occupants of the limousine.
Later, a fourth victim arrived at All Children's Hospital. The man suffered a non-life threatening bullet wound to his upper body at the same time officers were investigating the Chrysler 300 shooting scene.
"Again it's not clear if this victim's wound is in anyway related to the other shooting cases," Puetz said. "Obviously investigators will be busy this morning sorting out the details of these incidents"
It was not clear if the victims were the gunmen, or if there are others at large.

My first thought would be Jenrry Mejia, as if everyone's probably. If they wanted him up in the MLB bullpen, what's stopping them from wanting him in their starting rotation? If they're this high on him and eventually see him as a dominating starter, why not throw him in to the rotation? They'll say he's not ready, but is he really ready to be in the bullpen?
I can obviously scratch off Fernando Nieve for the starters role. Jerry's frequent usage for him late in games, and Nieve being effective, makes me wonder if he'll ever see another start as a Met again. I think if he can lock up the 8th inning and maybe Igarashi can lock up the 7th inning, our starters would only have to go 5 or 6 innings and that helps. But is 5 or 6 innings of giving up a reasonable amount of runs too much to ask of Ollie these days?
I think the next plausible choice would to give Hisanori Takahashi a go. He was fabulous in spring trainging when he started and Manuel might take that into consideration. Though much of the off season was to get a second lefty in the bullpen, I'm not sure if he'd pluck Takahashi as a pen lefty to stick him in the rotation but could easily just be a short term solution.
Maybe give Raul Valdes the nod? He's been talked about a lot and his name has been going around so maybe Manuel will give him the start. He's been highly effective in the bullpen, pitched 5 innings of 3 hit ball, giving up no earned runs and striking out 7. I'm not sure if Manuel wants to tamper with the rhythmn he has being effective in the bullpen, but that's his decision.
Let's not forget about Bobby Parnell, though. Sure, he wasn't sharp when he had a few starts in the 2009 season, but he's over his first season woes and has been fine tuning his splitter in the minors. Why can't Parnell be a starter? Yes, he was good in the bullpen with that fastball that lingers in the upper 90s but if he can improve his secondary offerings and harness a nice splitter, then age is on his side compared to the other contenders for Maine's spot if he loses it soon.
With the bullpen being completely lights out so far, I find it hard to believe Jerry will yank one of those guys without looking at other options. Due to a dominant bullpen early on in the season, maybe Mejia will be sent down to the minors or maybe stick him in the rotation (!). Maybe they'd bring in a free agent (Pedro???) or maybe just leave Maine in there and watch him embarrass himself every fifth day.
Time will tell. What are your thoughts?

Alex Smith was born in Camden in 1982. After leaving Nottingham University he worked at schools, pubs and record shops in North London before realising he could never do those things as successfully as Nick Hornby had already done them, so he spent 15 months living in the US and obsessing over the Obama campaign. He is now the editor of LabourList
I remember receiving an email from a mate about a year ago as we were figuring out how to combine canvassing on the Obama campaign with a trip across the States. Our plan was "get a car, draw the Circle of Hope on it, try and explain to people why it's important from an international perspective to have a Democrat in the White House, make a video diary, become internet sensations". It didn't really work out that way but we were able to say we did our bit.
What is your best blogging experience?
I went to see Gordon Brown and Kevin Rudd talk about the need for progressive solutions to the economic crisis at St Paul's Cathedral the day before the G20. That was pretty imposing.
And your worst?
Going out to buy the papers on Easter Sunday.
What do you regard as your best blog entry?
On LabourList it wasEmma Burnell's Why the Party isn't over. To start with the words "I'm not remotely ashamed of the British left", address the Damian McBride affair and the failings of Labour as she saw them and then say "but I will continue to work within the Party I love" was incredibly brave and inspiring of Emma, and very valuable for LabourList in that week.
Favourite blogs?
There are a lot of great bloggers out there - I like a mixture of Laurie Penny for her passion, Sadie Smith for her irreverace, Next Left for its intelligence and Liberal Conspiracy for its diversity. But ConservativeHome is absolutely the best blog in Britain in my opinion. It breaks stories, is a constant shaper of Tory politics and its analysis is deep and sincere. That has to be the model for LabourList. I also find myself strangely addicited to ToryBear's gloss, but really can't explain why.
What inspired you to go into politics?
I think it was my first day at University when someone asked me which school I went to before asking anything else. I realised then that aspiration in this country is ghettoised and that success is determined on where you're from, who your parents are and the school you went to, above anything else. There and then I was appalled - it struck me as totally unjust.
Having recently taken over as Editor of Labour List, what are your plans for its growth and development?
I think LabourList can become a natural hub for policy ideas and for the Labour grassroots to help shape the manifesto, and also a place to showcase the breadth of talent in the progressive blogosphere. To do that, we need to listen and become trusted on a human front and improve the content and nagivability on the technical side. We're going to make older content more accesible through proper archiving as well as trying to innovate and keep up to date with online advances.
In what areas can Labour bloggers show a positive edge online and do you have any examples of where this may have happened already?
The PMQs and Budget live webchat was a good experiment, and something we should do regularly. Then there are unlimited opportunities with video and podcasts. In terms of a positive edge, go through the titles of LabourList's posts: it's been almost exclusively about policy for a long time, and that's how it should stay.
Is there anywhere abroad which you haven't been to, that you would like to visit?
Tanzania is absolutely top of my list. I know people who have seen cubs and kills in the same hour in the Ngorongoro National Park, and that's just ridiculous.
Is there anywhere abroad you have visited, that you would love to revisit?
I think I'll always gravitate back to New York. Apart from that, I'm more interested in places I haven't been yet.
Who, excluding the present leader and Prime Minister, do you regard as the best British Prime Minister, and if different, the best Labour leader?
Clem Atlee for the NHS, and Tony Blair for the Minimum Wage and peace in Northern Ireland.
Which political figure has been your greatest inspiration?
Bobby and Barack. The two are inseparable in my mind.
Favourite Bond movie?
I've never sat through a Bond film in my life except for the one I slept through and which I can't remember the name of. A man rolls down the Millennium Dome with a gun. Goldfinger?
Favorite Doctor Who?
Never seen it. Although my 9 year old cousin likes it, so it's probably amazing.
Chocolate, vanilla, or mint?
Chocolate buttons, yes; chocolate milkshake, no way / Vanilla ice cream, yes; Vanilla Ice, no way / Mint chocolate, yes; mint tea, no way.
Which Band, past or present, would you most like to see in concert?
Earlier this year I read that the Stone Roses were about to reform for a summer of 21 big gigs. I nearly spat out my drink with excitement. I've been waiting for that to happen for nearly 15 years. It didn't happen. But I loved John Squire's denial where he painted "we shall never desecrate the grave of the greatest Manchester pop group of all time by reforming" on a big canvas.
In terms of visiting for the weekend, Oxford, Cambridge, or Barsby, Leics..?
How about Liverpool?
Favourite national newspaper?
New Statesman - it's not a newspaper, but it's brilliant. The Guardian, the Telegraph and the FT are probably the best daily combination for news and insight.
What would you say your hobbies were?
A year ago I'd've said music, football and people, probably in that order. But now there's a website to try and make work.
And what would you say were your three favourite songs and three favourite books
(Bar the Bible and The Complete Works of Shakespeare)?
Mykonos, Fleet Foxes Adagio for Strings, Samuel Barber Violet Hill, Coldplay
(at the moment - ask me again tomorrow and I'll give you three totally different answers)
The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway: "If I were him I would put in everything now and go until something broke". Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer: "I hope you never think about anything as much as I think about you".
Four Quartets, T.S. Eliot "We shall never cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time".
(I'd've said Hamlet but you banned Shakespeare.)

As of Wednesday, September 11, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY — Will Breehl knew the second he hung up the telephone this summer that Major Robinson was the man for the job.
"He was willing to pay his own way out here from Utah to prove how much he wanted this job, and he believed in what I was trying to build," Darton State College's first-year head coach said of the hiring process this summer to find his new assistant head coach. "Major showed up in a suit, stuck around and worked with the kids while he was here, and I knew immediately he could help us take this program to new heights."
Together, Robinson and Breehl, who served as an assistant for four years under former head coach Molly Gilbert before being promoted this offseason when Gilbert resigned, are bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Cavaliers' pool in 2013 that the program has never experienced in its two decades of existence. Both coaches are former standout swimmers at the NCAA Division I level — Breehl at Louisville and Robinson at the University of Utah — and they plan to steal a page from famed chef Emeril Legasse and take things up a notch this year.
"Our goal is get every swimmer we have to the highest level possible, whether they're on our (men's and women's team at Darton) or the club team (for kids ages 6-16) at the school, the Aqua Darts," said Robinson, a former team captain and three-time Mountain West Conference selection for the Utes who was hired this summer. "When I told Will my vision (during our interview), it was right in line with his. And I think the change has been noticeable in just the few months I've been here helping him."
Or in Breehl's words, "Swimming just got a lot more serious around here."
That's almost hard to believe considering the DSC swimming program is one of just three sports at the school that has won an NJCAA National Championship. In fact, swimming (4) has more than the other two: golf (3) and wrestling (1). And even when the program had all its scholarship money cut in 2011 — two years after Breehl arrived — the Cavs and Lady Cavs never missed a beat, winning three individual national championships this past season and scoring several All-American nods.
"It's tough without scholarship money, but we still get great talent," Breehl said. "Hopefully, if we continue to perform well, (the scholarship money) may come back. And then we'll be even stronger."
In the meantime, it's all about developing the future and present of Darton swimming for Breehl and Robinson, who is partially tasked with running the Aqua Darts youth program. The Darts had roughly 10 swimmers five years ago, and each year since Breehl has been at Darton, that number has slowly climbed. Robinson's arrival made that number rise even more, and that's crucial to the vitality of both teams. After all, the Aqua Darts' private training sessions aren't just a means to finance the college team, these young area swimmers are training to be the area's next stars — whether it's at Darton or somewhere else.
"Having Major here — and the kids and parents seeing that there are two coaches who are very involved and hands on — has made the program grow even more," said Breehl, who estimates the USA Swimming-certified club now has around 50 swimmers as young as four and as old as 18. "Before, I was stretched pretty thin between doing the Darts and helping Molly with the team, and I was trying to do too much with both — working with seven groups by myself sometimes, compared to really focusing on two or three now with Major helping. But now that he's here — getting up with me at 5 a.m., helping me run the morning and afternoon sessions — I feel we're progressing faster than ever before."
And the team has noticed the transformation.
"Major has definitely brought in a stern attitude we needed. It's a lot less laid-back than it's ever been, and I mean that in the best possible way," said sophomore Ethan Wolovick, a returning sophomore who is joined by fellow returners Gabe Downey, J.D. Russo, Ben Smith, former Westover star Bill Spencer and reigning NJCAA 1-meter and 3-meter national dive champ Crawford Berry. "It's no longer just, 'Come by the pool, get here when you get here, do what you can on your own.' We're all on board with these strict practice sessions, sticking to it. And if we don't, we're in trouble. That's been good for everyone. It's made us more of a team and a lot less selfish.
"Everyone bought in from Day 1. And we understand that if you don't do the work, you can't reach your goal. And for us, that's to win a national championship."
Sophomore Sarah Hoop, Darton's reigning 1-meter national diving champ, said she can't wait for the dramatic improvement the team has shown this summer to carry over to the pool when Darton's season opens Nov. 2. That's when the Cavs will have with a dual meet against South Georgia College, the only other junior college swimming program in the state.
"I noticed a difference right away this summer. Harder practices, different practices. We're learning new techniques, and the whole team atmosphere is just better. Everyone's working well together," said Hoop, who is one of several returners that include Sandra Guerrero, Ashley Delgado and Kelsey Karniglia. "Major's a really good coach, and him and Will work really well together. They've both swam at the top level, so everyone's really buying in to what they're teaching."
That level of experience each coach brings has also helped develop a healthy respect for the coaching staff, considering it wasn't too long ago that Robinson, 23, and Breehl, 29, were in the pool themselves, competing at the highest level.
"When you have two guys who are coming from places that obviously everyone here would like to be (swimming for a Division I program), it's great," Hoop said. "They've been there, and they know how to get you there."
Hoop and her fellow divers also added a third mind to the mix this offseason when the Cavs hired a new dive coach — and he's a good one. Ed Goodman, a native of Moultrie, returns to the program after two years away. The former University of Cincinnati star has served as head diving coach at the renowned Moss Farms Diving Club for the past eight years and has trained national champions and medalists at the Junior Pan Am Games.
"I definitely think, right now, we have one of the strongest junior college coaching staffs in the nation," Breehl said when asked about the addition of Goodman.
Darton will find out if that's true in early March.
That's when the Cavs will head back to NJCAA nationals in Fort Pierce, Fla., where they'll get a chance to follow through on one massive goal they set on Day 1 of practice this summer.
"All year, we've had one motto: 'Stop 40,'" Wolovick said, referencing JUCO powerhouse Indian River Community College's unprecedented run of 39 straight national championships in men's swimming — the longest title streak of any collegiate sport, at any level, in NJCAA or NCAA Division I, II or III history. "So if we can do it this year, we'll keep them from winning 40 in a row. That's our goal. And I think we all really feel that if it's ever going to happen, this is the year — and the team — that can (stop the streak). That's how confident we are right now."
NOTES: Breehl said it's never easy to convince a kid to try swimming as his or her primary sport when he's up against other sports that are more popular, such as football, baseball and basketball. His pitch, however, is simple — and often effective. "It's obviously great exercise, and some parents want their kids to do it just so they learn water safety and their kids don't have an accident," Breehl said. "But I also tell kids and parents that because swimming is a sport that goes against the grain and is not as popular and doesn't get the recognition that other sports do, you establish yourself as an individual, learn to go your own way and don't always follow the crowd." … Two years ago, Division I programs stopped scheduling Darton in dual meets because the results were so one-sided. But now that Georgia Tech is actively recruiting several of Darton's swimmers, the Cavs will compete against the Yellow Jackets in February just before nationals, hoping to prove the program has come a long way since the last time they swam against one another. "I really feel like we could go up there and steal a couple of races we're not supposed to win," Robinson said. "If we do that, that'd be huge for the program and these kids." … After his senior season at Utah, Robinson swam in the most recent U.S. Olympic trials … Robinson and Breehl both specialized in the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly in college … For any young swimmer interested in joining the Aqua Darts group, you can call Breehl or Robinson at (229) 317-6899.

text: When I first heard "Last Resort" on the radio, the main riff sounded familiar…sure enough, lifted straight from Iron Maiden's "Hallowed be Thy Name". Then, after the incredibly moronic second single, "Broken Home", a third single has appeared, "Between Angels and Insects" I believe is the title. This riff? Straight from Iron Maiden's "Prowler". I read in an interview that these guys claim they don't listen to Maiden, but listening to their sophmoric lyrics, I doubt that they were smart enough to come up with the classical progressions by themselves. I haven't even heard the whole CD, but I don't have to. These guys are totally unoriginal and way too trendy.

And he believes plenty of other coaches agree with him.
We "as coaches, and our peers, we're trying to get it stopped," Jones said Wednesday at a Big Orange TipOff Club meeting. "I can't believe as coaches we didn't have a say."
The rule changes, which are scheduled to begin July 1, would remove restrictions on the number of phone calls and text messages a coach could make to prospective recruits. Coaches would be permitted to contact a recruit an unlimited number of times beginning July 1 after that prospect's sophomore year of high school.
The changes were approved by the NCAA Board of Directors last month.
"It's the equivalent of this: We have a speed limit for a reason," Jones said. "We may not like the speed limit, but you never hear the law enforcement agencies say, 'We can't enforce it, so we're just going to do away with the speed limit.'"
Jones isn't the only coach to criticize the rule changes.
Big Ten coaches and athletic directors issued a statement last week expressing "serious concerns whether these proposals, as currently written, are in the best interest of high school student-athletes, their families and their coaches."
"These are still 16- and 17-year-old young adults," Jones said. "They need to have a life."
Jones also discussed a proposed NCAA rule change that could force the ejection of anyone who leads with the crown of his head to hit a defenseless player above the shoulders.
The proposal would allow officials to use video replay to determine whether a hit merited ejection. Air Force coach Troy Calhoun, the chairman of the NCAA rules committee, said there were 99 targeting penalties in Football Bowl Subdivision games last season that would have resulted in an ejection under the proposed rule change.
"Everything we do is based on player safety, and so we take that very seriously," Jones said. "In today's world, the kids are bigger, stronger, faster. I think we have to continue to improve. You're going to see a monumental change in college football."
Jones said it wouldn't surprise him if kickoffs eventually disappeared from the game in an effort to improve player safety.
"I do believe at some point, one time or another down the road, that the kickoff will be eliminated," Jones said. "I can just see it happening. ... In the next five years, I could possibly see that being reality."comments powered by Disqus

October 25, 2006
Albany -- Despite Governor Sonny Perdue's big lead, could the Governor's race be headed for a run off? One of the state's most respected political scholars says it is possible.
He predicts the Governor's race will tighten dramatically as election day approaches. The latest polls for Georgia's Governor show Incumbent Republican Sonny Perdue with a nearly twenty percent lead over Democratic challenger Mark Taylor.
But University of Georgia political expert Dr. Charles Bullock, one of the most respected analysts in the state, says he thinks the race will end up much closer than that. Do you really think we could have a runoff? Dr. Charles Bullock said "I think it is possible."
The latest poll has Perdue with 51 percent, Taylor with 32 percent, Libertarian Garrett Hayes with 9 percent, and 8 percent undecided. Georgia law requires a candidate to get 50 percent of the vote to win outright, or force a runoff. Bullock says Governor Perdue's challenge is to get that 50 percent. Dr. Charles Bullock said "I think it's going to tighten up. I don't think we are going to see this twenty percent split right now, the twenty percent advantage which the Governor has been showing in recent polls. I think that is going to narrow."
Bullock told an audience at Darton College he predicts the Big Guy will mount a late rally, simply because he is a Democrat. Bullock said "As a Democrat in Georgia, you are going to get forty percent just by having your name on the ballot. Taylor is a well known entity, he has been in politics for 20 years, he's been Lt. Governor for 8 years."
Bullock said in these last weeks Taylor has gone to a traditional Democratic TV strategy, Taylor is never seen, while his ads attack his opponent. Bullock said "the ads that Taylor has been running attacking the Governor in terms of his land deal and terms of his tax cut, you don't see Mark Taylor at all in those."
In his ads, Perdue is reaching out to women voters in the final weeks, using his wife. Bullock said "I think that is why we are seeing Mary Perdue in some of the ads. This is seen as a way to reach out to them."
Bullock said if there is a run off in the Governor's Race, he predicts Republicans would rally their voters to come out to the polls a second time, for an easy win.
Bullock predicted that most of the incumbents running for statewide office would be re-elected, while Republicans will increase their dominance in the State Senate and House.

Drugs, Sex, and Murder in 1920s Tinseltown
The Scene
The murder of William Desmond Taylor is thought to have occurred shortly after he had said goodbye to his friend, the movie comedian Mabel Normand, at approximately 7:45 p.m. Almost 12 hours later, Taylor's body was discovered by his butler, Samuel Peavey.
Within minutes, a number of people were at Taylor's apartment. None of them were police. The frantic Peavey let in William Eyre, a studio executive, Taylor's creative colleague, Julia Crawford Ivers, and her cameraman son, James Van Trees. Also present was a doctor, or so he identified himself, who declared that the cause of death was a heart attack. If any one of them had turned the body over, they would have seen a very distinct bullet wound. The doctor disappeared. The studio people began removing material from the apartment, incriminating letters, as well as a pink, monogrammed nightie. Only then did the police appear. If there were clues to be found, the murder site had been so compromised that it would be impossible to find any.
Neighbors gave their accounts. A neighbor across the way from Taylor's apartment, Faith Maclean, testified that she had heard a shot around 8:00 p.m., looked out, and saw a young man on the porch. He looked directly at her, went back inside, returned in a minute, and walked away, behind Taylor's apartment.
The contents of Taylor's pockets were inventoried. A pocket watch, a wallet with $78, and, on his left wrist, a watch. He wore a large diamond ring.
This, then, was the substance of the murder scene.

The fuckiest of the fucks, a "fuckboy" is the lowest possible form of the vile, degenerate waste pouring from the proverbial asshole of society. Calling some a fuckboy is the verbal equivalent of the orally penetrating their mother, their dog, and their girlfriend in the span of approximately 3.94 seconds, and is only to be used on people who make pre-school slurs like "fucker" and "cunt" look like tokens of sainthood.
JARRET: Hey, fuckboy!

Montclair parents urged to be healthy eating role models
This is an article in The Montclair Times' series on food- and nutrition-related issues involving Montclair students and schools.
When registered dietician Jamie Pula heard Benedicta Otalor-Sisti describe her two daughters, it struck a nerve almost immediately.
"My daughters are picky eaters," Otalor-Sisti acknowledged during a workshop on childhood nutrition at the Montclair Community Pre-K.
"They don't like Brussels sprouts, they don't like broccoli, and they don't like tomatoes." she explained. "My older one says, 'I don't like them,' and won't even taste them."
For Pula, a wellness coordinator in the pediatrics department of St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in Paterson, it's an all-too-familiar story that she's heard many times from parents. But it's a story that Pula says will have to be turned around, if children in Montclair and other towns are going to develop healthier eating habits.
"Childhood obesity is a major health issue in this country," Pula said. "I'm really concerned about their futures, if we don't get them to eat healthier."
Pula and other nutritional experts have found that parents have a pivotal role to play in the campaign for better nutrition, and they have developed a number of strategies that parents can employ even with the most demanding toddlers.
"You want to let your child catch you munching on raw vegetables," Pula suggested. "You can't ask them to love Brussels sprouts, if they never see us eating Brussels sprouts.
"It also helps if they see older siblings or people they admire eating them too," she said.
Pre-K Executive Director Eve Robinson said that nursery schools and pre-Ks have become the new frontiers in the battle by educators and child care providers to improve childhood nutrition.
"That's why we asked for their help," Robinson said of Pula and Montclair State University interns Michele Leaman and Norma Cardona, who helped conduct the workshop.
"We know parents are having a tough time today in getting children to eat healthier, and we want to give them information that they can use," she said.
And information they got.
Parents, who braved subfreezing temperatures to come out and sit in on the informational session that occurred last week weren't disappointed.
Attendees viewed a detailed PowerPoint presentation, and received small shopping bags full of brochures and other printed materials that included a collection of recipes featuring fresh fruits and vegetables.
"We searched for some easy-to-prepare dishes that will appeal to children's tastes," Cardona said. "They're inexpensive and simple, but a good way to introduce kids to fruits and vegetables."
Pula said the key to lifelong good eating habits is to develop them as early as possible in a child's life.
"And parents play a key role here by their example," she said. "I think too many parents underestimate the impact they have on their children."
subterfuge and psychology
Pula suggested that parents use a little subterfuge and some psychology to make their jobs easier.

|The bright side of the Dorner case
|Written by Randy Sutton
While we look for a reason for what Christopher Dorner has done, and while we might try to ascribe his actions to his rejection by the LAPD, Christopher Dorner did not lose his badge because he was a victim of vindictive racist Police Officers, but because he was a bad cop who after only months of wearing a badge demonstrated incompetence and the character flaws that no police career can or should survive…a lack of honor and integrity.
The successful termination of Dorners' short police career came about because of a group of officers and a process little known or understood outside of the law enforcement community known as FTEP, the Field Training and Evaluation Program.

Flying around 2,500 feet, the scope of the storms power can been seen. The village of Pilger, Nebraska has been leveled. Splintered trees and concrete slabs are the only remnants of neighborhoods. The middle school is heavily damaged. Grain bins are mangled like a balled up piece of paper. Debris litters farm fields for miles.
As the storm continued to track north, it wasn't just the tornadoes and strong winds causing damage. Siouxland communities were overwhelmed by heavy rain.
Roughly 140 miles to the north in Rock Rapids, Iowa, nearly five inches of rain swelled the Rock River. The town of roughly 2,600 people, now looks more like an island, limiting access to homes and businesses. Cars and trucks try to navigate the flood covered roads, some make it through while others are forced back. Train access is limited as well, as crossing are being over whelmed by the massive flooding.
As the flood waters continue to move south, more communities along the Rock and Big Sioux Rivers will soon be affected.
Widespread damage in Pilger, Nebraska following multiple tornadoes.
