Women's Volleyball Sees Lead Slip Away in Five-Set Loss to Queens
September 10, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Down two sets to one, Queens University rallied back to score a 3-2 (25-20, 17-25, 21-25, 25-23, 15-12) victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas womens volleyball action on Friday night in the Merner Gym. The Royals improve to 6-0 on the year, 2-0 in league play while the Lady Falcons fall to 0-6, 0-2.
Queens hit an impressive .524 in the first set with just one attack error in 21 attempts. Ashlyn Dibrell (Arlington, TX) and Alexa Sparell (Winter Park, FL) each had four kills in the opener en route to the five point win. After a service ace by Pfeiffers Colleen Wands (Apex, NC) knotted the contest at 11 apiece, Keri Kemp (Lake Mary, FL) along with Sparell, threw down kills to give Queens the final advantage. Dibrell had three of her four kills in a four-plan span late for the 1-0 match lead.
Queens would hit in the negatives over the next two sets allowing the Lady Falcons to grab their one-set lead. Late in set two, Pfeiffer would nail down the win on five-straight points using three errors from the Royals and a kill by Ashlee Panzer (Mt. Gilead, NC) and Milana Mervosh (Roebuck, SC). Panzer eventually delivered the final kill to square the match at one.
In the middle set, both teams traded the lead back and forth until a kill by Avery Moore (Arlington, TX) and penalty point awarded to the Royals gave the visitors a 19-18 lead. Pfeiffer rallied right back to score four-in-a-row on kills by Kim Amerell (Lynchburg, VA) and Jordan OBryant (Reidsville, NC) storming back with three Queens errors for game point. Amerell threw down the sets final kill for the 2-1 match advantage.
The Royals grabbed the fourth set lead on four-straight points going from down two to up one on a pair of service aces by Dibrell. Trailing 23-20 after a Queens timeout, OBryant and Kristina Mordini (Freeport, IL) would each tally a kill while a Royals attack error suddenly tied the set at 23-23. Another Dibrell kill and attack miscue by the Lady Falcons ended up forcing the fifth and final set.
OBryant added two more kills early in the decisive set keeping the host Lady Falcons in the contest. Three Pfeiffer errors in a five-play stretch put Queens up four before back-to-back Royals mistakes got the Lady Falcons to within a pair. After another kill by Kemp and Sparell, Brittney Barren (Ham Lake, MN) and the final attack error by the Lady Falcons gave the Royals a 3-2 victory.
Amerell led all offensively with a match-high dozen kills. Mervosh was the only other player in double-figures with 10. Sparell, along with Ashley Winters (Fredericktown, OH) each had nine for the visitors. Pfeiffer did out block the Royals 8-3.
Both teams return to the Merner Gym for the final day of the 2010 Lucky Dog Invitational each taking on North Greenville and Montreat at 12:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

DEEP RUN — For three innings Friday it looked as if the NCHSAA state 2A softball playoff opener between South Lenoir and North Brunswick was going down to the wire.
The Blue Devils made sure it didn't.
Morgan Mentz went 3-for-4 and Taylor Sandlin drove in four runs as South Lenoir cruised to an 11-3 win over the Scorpions to advance to the second round.
The Blue Devils (19-3) will face Providence Grove, a 3-2 winner in extra innings over Fairmont Friday, at a time to be determined on Tuesday.
"The girls just didn't panic," South Lenoir coach Lisa Smith said. "They kept fighting and we hit the ball well. We took some chances and the girls came together as a team."
A three-run homer from Preston Ellenberg in the third inning erased the Blue Devils' small 3-0 lead, but they responded in their half of the inning with a pair scored on an error and a sac fly by Sandlin — her third RBI of the game.
Ellenberg entered the pitching circle in the fourth in place of Kasey Klutz and retired the side. But in the fifth South Lenoir jumped on her with three runs on a wild pitch and three hits, including Meredith Sanderson's two-run single.
With Madison Beyer keeping the Scorpions' bats at bay for the final four innings, all in relief, the Blue Devils gave her even more breathing room with three runs on four extra-base hits in the sixth.
A triple by Madison Herring started things off, and was followed by RBI doubles from Mentz, Sandlin and Beyer.
Beyer took over for Sandlin to start the fourth and made sure North Brunswick (11-10) didn't add to the homer. She struck out four, allowed six hits and worked out of a bases-loaded situation in her first inning of work.
Mentz scored three runs, Beyer went 3-for-4 with two doubles and Sanderson added a pair of singles in South Lenoir's seventh straight win.
"I'm proud of all of them. They all gave," Smith said. "They got out there and gave it all they had."

February 27, 2014
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Pfeiffer women's tennis team defended their home court in near-perfect fashion on Thursday afternoon, defeating Brevard 7-2 and maintaining their untarnished record. The win improves the Falcons to 6-0 on the season and with the loss Brevard drops to 0-4 overall.

Hi there,
Thanks for visiting Umami Girl. I'm Carolyn Cope, and since 2008 I've been blogging here about a lifestyle based on whole foods, mostly plants. Over the years Umami Girl has grown from a resource for the members of a Community Supported Farm I helped organize into a large and vibrant community of smart, free-thinking people. We really dig improving people's lives by making nourishing food irresistible and providing food for thought -- but we are so not fans of preachiness or that creepy self-help vibe. (You know the one I mean.)
Like the rest of the thinking world, this space is always evolving. The blog is the beating heart at the center of things, and in the next little while I'll be rolling out some new content as well -- a free Getting Started Guide for folks who'd like a friend to walk them through the transition to a whole foods lifestyle, and a just-for-fun podcast series called First-World Rants, because big talk about small problems makes people weirdly happy.
Lots of nice people have said lots of nice things about Umami Girl, and I am very thankful for them all. Click here if you'd like to read more about it.

Hospital Consolidation: Analysis of Acute Sector M&A Activity
Deloitte study reveals mixed results
Consolidation in the acute sector is accelerating as hospitals seek sustainability amid increasing stress from margin pressures, regulatory compliance costs, public transparency responsibilities, operational integration in value-based delivery systems, payment reforms, and clinical improvements based on new diagnostic and therapeutic models.
How well do acquired hospitals perform financially post-merger? Do hospitals acquired by national chains outperform local/regional "in market" acquisitions? How does the performance of acquired hospitals compare to a peer group (same size) and acute hospitals?
The Deloitte Center for Health Solutions analyzed 101 hospital transactions in 2007-2008, using three measures to analyze the performance of the acquired hospital pre-merger and up to three years post-merger. The study reveals:
- The financial performance for acquired hospitals improved, but did not achieve peer group medians.
- The financial performance of hospitals acquired by national chains outperformed local/regional acquisitions as a result of lower operating costs and increased volume comparatively.
Additional information

Deloitte's analysis of 44 health plan merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions found that fewer than half led to sustained improvements in comparative market value three years after the deal closed.

Doubts remain over VA's ability to end huge disability claims backlog
Thursday - 3/21/2013, 6:31am EDT
The Department of Veterans Affairs said it's determined to eliminate its backlog of disability claims by 2015. But at the moment, the problem is getting worse, not better, and congressional overseers say their patience is growing thin.
VA defines the backlog as being made up of any claim that's been pending for 125 days or longer, and the department's statistics show that as of this week, there are nearly 630,000 claims in that category.
VA said the number will be down to zero by 2015, but for now, the numbers are headed in the wrong direction: the current backlog includes 30,000 more cases than it did a year ago.
Veterans currently wait an average 273 days for their claims to be processed. First-time claims coming from veterans who have recently been released from military service take longer — just shy of one year, on average, according to the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
Losing patience with VA
Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), the chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, is not pleased.
Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.)
"There are many people, including myself, who are losing patience as we continue to hear the same excuses from VA about increased workload and increased complexity of claims," Miller said at Wednesday's hearing. "However, VA's demonstrated history shows its inability or refusal to forecast problems and anticipate its needs, and the only people paying a price for those failures are the veterans. The time for excuses is over."
VA points out that its decision to open the doors for a new category of Vietnam-era veterans to earn disability payments as a result of presumed exposure to Agent Orange caused a large spike in workload for it claims processors. Combined with the influx of new veterans from the post-9/11 era, demands on the veterans benefits processing system are high.
Nonetheless, the department said it's not making excuses, but rather is implementing a transformation plan in its Veterans Benefits Administration designed to overhaul its processes, technology and training so that it can increase the quantity and quality of the claims it processes.
VBA now is able to handle a record 1 million claims per year and has done so for the past three years in a row, said Allison Hickey, VA's undersecretary for benefits.
Quality over quantity
But members of Congress zeroed in on figures that appeared to show that despite an influx of new claims adjudication personnel, the number of cases VBA handles per full-time equivalent staff member is declining.
"The data I have says that in 1997, we were doing 136 claims per field employee. Today that number is 73," said Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the majority whip.
Hickey said those numbers may be true on their face, but contended they don't tell the whole story.
"In 1997, I may have been doing more claims per employee, but I was also at 59 percent quality. That's not something anyone on this committee wants me to ever go back to again," she said. "And last year, even doing 1 million claims, we actually increased our quality by almost 4 percentage points."
VA currently processes 86 percent of its disability claims without any errors, Hickey said in her prepared testimony. The 2015 goal for the elimination backlog aims for a 98 percent accuracy rate.
And while the department has promised for years to eliminate the disability backlog, Hickey said its current pledge to pull it off by 2015 is realistic.
"I'm convinced, because I've just seen us do it in our long-term solution for Post-9/11 G.I. Bill claims, where we are now doing 95 percent of our work in less than six days. That tells me that if you put some automation in the system and change the processes, you can achieve some fundamental growth," she said. "In February of last year, when I had 200,000 claims in that inventory, you all were talking to me about that, and you needed to be. Today I have 40,000."
Interagency data sharing
Hickey said VA now is taking major steps it's never taken before to speed up the claims process. As in the area of education claims, she said technology will be a major contributor to changing the trajectory of the backlog. VA is currently in the process of deploying its Veterans Benefits Management System to its field offices throughout the country.
Allison Hickey, undersecretary for benefits, VA
VBMS, which has been deployed to 25 regional offices since last December, will let all new claims be processed electronically, and in combination with VA's eBenefits website, will extend the more efficient paperless process to the legwork that's currently required of individual veterans, Hickey said.
"They can, today, go online and submit a claim in an interface that's a lot like TurboTax. They can upload their own medical evidence, and it goes directly into our paperless IT system. They don't have to get into a car to deliver it, they don't have to go down to one of our centers to find out the status of their claim," she said.
Additionally, VA has begun to speed up the processing of certain claims by creating an "express lane" for disability claims that are relatively uncomplicated and involve only a few medical conditions. The department said that lane shaves about 100 days from the average processing time for a given case and reserves the most complicated cases for VBA's more experienced claims adjudicators.
Hickey said VA has taken other steps to reduce one of the biggest bottlenecks in the claims process: the gathering of medical evidence and other data from other federal agencies.
She said VA has just signed what she termed "game changing" information-sharing agreements with the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration.
"Many of the claims we have to do require information IRS or SSA have that we've only gotten on an annual basis in the past. I totally appreciate what the leadership at both of those agencies have done, because I'm now going to get that weekly," she said. "That fundamentally changes that piece of the evidence hunt."
DoD delivering complete medical records
And with regard to medical histories, since the vast majority of the records VA needs to adjudicate a disability claim are held by the Defense Department, the Pentagon agreed for the first time to provide VA with a verified, complete package of medical records when a service member is discharged from one of the military services.
"They've stood up cells in the Army and the Air Force. The Navy's going to do it in a slightly different way, but they're not only going out and gathering all of their own medical records, but they're pulling together all the contract medical records from TRICARE. I've never had that before," she said. "They're certifying to me that they have all the service member's medical evidence in that one record so that I'm not doing what I'm doing now, which is exhaustively going out and searching for records that we don't own and never owned in the beginning."
Despite VA's optimism about meeting the 2015 target for eliminating the claims backlog, lawmakers are almost universally skeptical.
Even if technology and process improvements do indeed let the department move claims through the pipeline more quickly, the improvements would have to be sudden and dramatic in order to achieve the 2015 goal, said Rep. Michael Michaud (D-Maine), the committee's ranking member.
"It would require the VA to complete approximately 3.4 million claims in 2 1/2 years. To accomplish this goal, VA would have to start averaging the completion of about 1.36 million claims per year, a 33 percent increase in productivity. In my mind, the math doesn't add up and I'm not sure how we're going to get there by 2015," he said. "I also question whether VA's being up front with Congress about its challenges. In particular, does VBA have enough employees to get the job done? I'm not convinced that it does."
Lawmakers tell VA 'no more hollow promises' to fix the claims backlog
Beneficiaries claim VA's processing of GI Bill benefits still lackluster

Strengths: Pretty light for a steel frame.
Geometry is really well realised - long top tube means you can run a short stem (currently a 60mm) which makes steering sharp as a tack.
Weaknesses: Nil by my count.
It is a real pity they stopped making XL size - I only got mine when talking to the factory about sizing they let me know they had a demo frame available after the XL run had finished & all others were sold.
Bottom Line:
Last word; I took ages to decide which way to go on a hardtail (carbon, titanium, steel), but am super happy with this frame, a real gem of purposeful British design. It's a keeper.

Strengths: Super comfortable (once I found the right set up), rolls like a dream, superfast downhill and also a great climber. Still has the steel flex going for it.
Weaknesses: Generally needs a bit more anticipation when on fast twisting single track than a good 26in hardtail
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: May 25, 2012
Strengths: First up this is my first 29er, not got much to compare against so bear with me...
Compared to the equivalent 26er the Solaris is a great climber. It kinda feels a bit like on a road bike (in a good way). Descending and over technical ground its pretty stable and confidence inspiring.
The bike feels pretty sorted. The geo is relaxed (~70 deg HA at 100mm), the chain stays are short (more on that later...), The top tube is fairly long (which I like, I get away with a 65mm stem), 35mm OD seat tube and large dia top tube keeps it pretty stiff where you want it to be. 31.6mm seat pin and dropper cable routing is something I'm keen to try out in due course. Head tube is 44mm which allows low stack height/bars.
Geo is optimised for 100mm but designed to allow 80-120mm. not tried at this but at 100 the front end stays down better than the 26er's do. I like the way the 29er rides (I have a Soul and I had a Soda) in comparison. The position seems that bit more comfortable to me. Could be that I'm at the extremes of a medium in 26 and the extra 10mm on the TT helps.
Its pretty handy in the twisty stuff but does require more 'body english' but then you'd expect that for a 29er.
Weight is under 5lbs for a steel frame, which isn't too shabby :)
Cotic are a small English based company that are very helpful either by e-mail or telephone. I've had nothing but good advice from them (and I've been in touch over the years, a lot!).
Weaknesses: Weaknesses, well the main one is the short chain stays means that running an Ardent 2.25 the clearance to a 2010 XT 3 speed front mech (high clamp top pull) is tight. The recommendation is either run a SRAM 2012 number or take a hacksaw to the bottom cable arm. Not tried this myself yet but I'm reliably informed this solves this problem! Alternatively running, say an IKON 2.2 also would improve this. Website says its good for a 2.4 Ardent, can't see that myself though...
I found slow speed flat wasn't as responsive as a 26er. Could just go with the territory though.
Another major gripe is that the frame isn't avaiable in Bright Green as of yet (due in July though I'm told). Only orange and blue at the moment...
Also Cotic do not make a small so if you are 5'8" and below this is not going to work for you. The website says they tried a small demo but they didn't like it so they wont be going into production on that size.
Bottom Line:
Some really nice touches (44mm head tube, dropper post cable routing, 31.6mm seat pin).
Pushes the right buttons. Climbing, descending and over tech for me it matches the 29er hype. Makes me want to ride my bike... :)
If it wasn't for the front mech clearance issues (2x10 are supposed to be okay) I'd give it a five (but then I do like Cotic...)

HAZARD—After years of rumors spreading like wildfire and hundreds of Topix forums filling up, the owners and operators of the East Main Street McDonald's in Hazard have confirmed that the two-story restaurant will not be operational by the end of this summer.
"I know people just do not want to lose that restaurant, they don't want to lose the two-story, but we tried every single angle that we could find; refurbish, renovate, resurface it, do whatever, even rebuild on that site, and there is just no possible way," owner Diana Patula said this week about the two-story McDonald's, which will be closing in August of this year.
Patula said she and her husband took over operations of the building in 2006, and have plans to ensure that the community will not be without a second restaurant for long.
"We are looking to open a new location up on the bypass, and we will only go with one McDonald's in our community for just about five to six days," she said.
Patula explained that the poor condition of the building had made it impossible to continue working there without some kind of upgrade, but with the high costs that come along with building in a flood plain, she said the only realistic option was to relocate.
"We wanted to rebuild, and we actually have had plans to have architects come out. We were ready to close it and just go ahead and rebuild and the federal government said they wanted to look at all the plans, and they added an astronomical price to meet their specifications on the flood plain," she said. "The corporation just said this isn't feasible. It's just not worth it. You have to make a certain amount of money."
The two-story building, built in 1989, has been rumored to be one of only two two-story McDonald's built in the world. Patula said while this is not true, the building may now be one of the last of its kind.
"There's a few others, and I believe McDonald's is kind of trying to get away from that for the safety fact, and it's very hard to upkeep two stories," she said. "They really have gotten away from doing two stories."
Patula said she and the employees at the East Main Street restaurant—who will simply be transferred to the new restaurant—are excited to celebrate the 25-year life of the old building as well as the beginning of a new chapter.
"The last week that we're going to be open we're going to make it a big celebration. We're going to do what we can to just kind of make it festive," Patula said. "We're excited. We haven't had a new McDonald's in this town since 1989."
The new location will have many new features, Patula said, including a double drive-through. The week before the public opening will be filled not only with staff rushing to finish getting the space stocked but with tours and VIP parties.
Patula said she is not sure what the fate of the East Main Street building will be as she and her husband will have no control over what happens once they move to the new location.
"It is left to the McDonald's corporation to kind of look at what they want to do. So, I know from our construction meetings they said they will probably present it to the town, the mayor, and city hall to say what would you like to do with this," she explained.
Patula said she understands many in the area will be upset with the move, but wants everyone to know she and her husband worked hard to make the best decision for the restaurant.
"We've tried out best and we tried to appreciate all of our customers — our loyal customers — and we hope that we see them at the new location," she said. "We tried our very best to make it so that it was something everyone would want."

Women's Soccer Claims First Victory of Season; 2-0 over Georgia College
September 13, 2013
MILLEDGEVILLE, GA- The Pfeiffer University womens soccer team (1-3) used a dominant second half to secure its first victory of the season, a 2-0 road win over Georgia College (1-2). The Lady Falcons scored twice in the final 45 minutes, and outshot the Bobcats in the second half, en route to the shutout victory. For the season, Pfeiffer has scored four of its five goals in the second halves of games.
The Lady Falcons didnt record a shot until the 24th minute, when Mandi Roan fired a shot on goal but Jessica Catapano would make the save. The Lady Falcons then fired three shots in the next five minutes but were kept off the scoreboard thanks to Catapano. The half ended with a flurry of offense from the Bobcats. The hosts took three shots, two on net, and one corner kick in the frames final 4:07 but goalkeeper Kate Halligan and the Lady Falcons defensive unit stood strong. The half ended with the Bobcats holding a 9-6 advantage in shots and Halligan recording five saves.
Halligan was tested two minutes into the second half, and made another save to keep the game scoreless. Freshman Brae Buster broke the scoreless tie with her second goal of the season, in the 51st minute. Buster took a feed from junior midfielder Kayla Rodriguez and found the back of the net. Just over 11 minutes later, the Lady Falcons benefited from Georgia scoring an own goal. The lead proved to be insurmountable for the Bobcats, who couldnt figure out Halligan or the Pfeiffer defense.
For the match, Georgia held a slight 16-14 advantage in shots. Halligan made nine stops in her first career shutout, while Catapano made five saves in the losing effort.
The Bobcats took five corners to three for Pfeiffer.
The Lady Falcons return to action on Sunday afternoon when they host No. 22 Queens at 1 p.m. The match will be Pfeiffers home opener.

|Introduction | Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR lens performance | Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR versus competition | Conclusion
The 70-200mm focal range is a hotly contested area, so it makes sense to compare this lens to others of the same length. Here we'll compare it to another Nikon lens, this time the faster f/2.8 version as well as a Canon lens, the EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM.
Looking first at sharpness, the Nikon f/4G and the Canon lens both perform very well at all apertures, with the Nikon lens just having the edge overall. Though this could easily be explained by camera choice as well. In essence, there is little to split them. Looking at the Nikon f/2.8 lens it matches the other two at 70mm and 80mm but there is a loss of sharpness in the corners between 100mm and 200mm that accounts for its lower score. If we were only to compare the centre of the frame, there would be very little to choose between the three lenses.
In terms of distortion, there is little to choose between them. All three lenses exhibit minor barrel distortion at the wide end and minor pincushion distortion at the telephoto end. Through the mid focal ranges though, they all perform well with no noticeable distortion.
Looking at the transmission scores, it's no surprise that the two faster lenses, the Nikon f/2.8 and Canon f/2.8, score higher than the AF-S 70-200mm f/4G ED VR – in fact, it would be very odd if they were to perform worse given their wider maximum apertures. While the Nikon f/4 lens loses out here though, it's worth bearing in mind that it is the cheapest of the three and generally as price goes up, so does the maximum aperture of the lens.
The story is the same when looking at the chromatic aberration scores – none of the lenses exhibit noticeable CA although if we have to pick a loser, the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED does show a fraction more than the other two lenses in the corners when shooting at 70mm.
It's basically the same with the vignetting tests – the Canon lens and the Nikon f/4 lens are very closely matched, with the Nikon f/2.8 model fairly slightly less well. In this case, there is a loss of around 1/2stop in the corners, which may be an issue depending on what subjects you shoot – landscapes for example may show this vignetting in areas of even toned sky, but with sports or wildlife, where the toning of the background is less likely to be even, it is unlikely to detract unduly from the final results.
Beyond the lens testing metrics, the Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/4G ED VR not only performs as well as, or better than the other two lenses here, but it is also around half the weight of the other two and at least $500USD cheaper at list prices. The choice between the two Nikon lenses comes down budget and how much the faster maximum aperture is worth to you. The Canon lens shows what is possible with an f/2.8 lens, but it is so closely matched in performance by the Nikon f/4, it does not offer a compelling reason to choose one system over the other.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Quite useless without comparison with Nikon 70-200 f/2.8G VR II
It's quite useless without comparison with Nikon 70-200 f/2.8G VR II which, surprisingly, has yet to be reviewed/rated by DxO. What's with the long wait, or worse, DxO do not intend to rate it at all? The Nikon 70-200 f/2.8G VR II is one of the most important lens used by professionals and others, so why no rating? Very, very strange.

The 70-200mm VR II is already planed and is currently measured in our labs, measurement should be able in few weeks.

Sharpness as a function of camera
If you look at the sharpness of this lens for various cameras, you get:
D600: 18P-Mpix
D3X: 19P-Mpix
D800: 20P-MPix
D800E: 30P-MPix
I think that these results prove that there is something seriously wrong with the way you define sharpness. There is no way that D600/D3X and D800 are so close and D800E is so above.
For the D800/D800E comparison, I know that you compare the sharpness of the image without any sharpness applied to the picture. It is obvious that a camera with anti-aliasing filter needs (and can handle) more sharpening than a camera without one. Therefore, the comparison is not fair.
I stil don't understand why the D600 and D800 results are so close. It just does not match what you get when you compare a crop of a D800 and a crop of a D600 picture upscaled to 36MP.

Nikon 1,2,3 stop !!!
Hi I have the 70-200 2.8 VRII course! assumptions and four steps is unmatched by other nikon lens, but does magic on their four steps must add good arm and photographic technique. is that I read the comments in various forums and it seems we buy a wand, if the same thing again, is not better photographer with better equipment, remember that the picture comes in our head and then goes to the sensor.

70-200 f/4 - incorrect detail
"Like its big brother, the 70-200mm f/4 is equipped with the latest generation of optical image stabilization for which Nikon announces a huge gain of 5 stops."
No, the f/4 does not have the same VR as the f/2.8. It has 'VR III' which Nikon claims gives 5 stops. The f/2.8 has VR II, claimed to give 4 stops (in other words, previous generation)

I am so choked up right now. After all the glowing reviews of Rotolo's we decided to get a pizza before leaving Laplace. We walked in and saw a table of army soldiers and a table of Samaritan's purse relief workers. We talked to both then sat at the only table available (yay Rotolo's !)
The folks at the table next to us struck up a conversation and told us all about his rescue adventures last week, helping get people out of flooded areas starting with River Forest. He's not a fireman or police officer, but a brave citizen with a big heart and a boat. And an ax. He even helped a woman go back to her daughter's house to rescue her dog. What a great guy! They were so sweet. Thanks Joe Duhe & Cindy Haydel for helping your neighbors & being so nice!
Oh, and just for icing, we saw that when they left, they paid the bill for the soldiers!

In principle I think we agree. I think we should all see ourselves as merely people. But like it or not, nationalities, ethnicities do exist. People share a common culture, common language, common ideologies and even common religions. Those are all uniting factors, and they are also factors that differentiate them from everyone else. I agree that these factors should not be used to determine who should be included in one's sphere of moral concern. Unfortunately there is a long history of people doing exactly that.
A couple of days ago I was talking to my dad about the current mess in Georgia. He told me that the Georgians, even though they were Christians, they helped impose an economic embargo on Armenia (whose other neighbors, Azerbaijan and Turkey) are Muslim. What he was saying was that Christians ought to stick together and unite against Muslims - for no other reason than religion.
Another example. I was working in strange city. I went to the movies. I showed my student ID at the box office. The guy behind the glass saw my Armenian name. So I got a free ticket. Why? He was Armenian too. Tribalism. Pure and simple. We take care of each other simply because that's what we are supposed to do. Ayaan Hirsi Ali talks about this in Infidel as well.
So, it will take a while for people to begin to include ALL human beings within their sphere of moral concern. And only then can the issue of the treatment of animals be addressed with any hope of meaningful resolution.

DURHAM — Quinn Cook took 11 shots and missed them all in Duke's last game.
Yet his performance was applauded.
The Duke point guard's 14-assist, 1-turnover performance against Wake Forest was enough to earn raves despite the goose egg in the scoring column.
Cook seemed undeterred about the missed shots. His teammates combined to shoot above 50 percent in the 80-62 victory.
Much of that was owed to Cook's play across 38 minutes. The sophomore's assist total was the most for a Duke player in more than seven years.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said Cook has dealt well with tactics from opponents.
"They're going after him and trying to be really physical, not just Wake but everybody," Krzyzewski said.
Cook is the third Duke player — Nolan Smith and Chris Duhon are the others — to have more than one game in the same season with 10 or more assists in the past 10 seasons.
Combined with key defensive roles, some missed shots are understandable.
"You're pressuring the ball (on defense)," Krzyzewski said. "You're passing. You're running a team. By the time you get to your shot, sometimes you just miss that little bit of concentration you need to knock it down.
"I was proud of him. He didn't let the shooting take away from his defense and play-making responsibilities."
After Saturday's game, with fans still milling about the court inside Cameron Indoor Stadium, Cook was back shooting with teammate Amile Jefferson retrieving his shots.
Cook, who had scored at least six points in every other game this season and posted double-figure totals in the three previous games, had the second-highest assist-to-turnover ratio in school history behind Bobby Hurley's 15-to-1 mark in 1993 against North Carolina State.
Krzyzewski said the most important element of Cook's performance was the team result.
"He's a natural point guard … there aren't that many any more," Krzyzewski said. "Just a natural point guard is somebody that is judged by winning. So Quinn understands that. If we win, he has done a good job. He has got a really good personality for that."
Clemson is tonight's opponent and the Tigers have sputtered at times the past couple of months. Coach Brad Brownell said his team will experience something unique with the game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The Tigers, though, have tangled with some other highly rated teams. They lost to Top 10 teams Arizona and Gonzaga.
"It will help a little bit in having faced some very good teams, talented teams," Brownell said. "I'll tell you, I believe Duke is better. … In watching the film, I think the way they play, the pieces they have, how they fit together, obviously the way Mike has got them playing, I think they're playing better than either of the teams we played. Arizona is still undefeated, Gonzaga has only lost one.
"The other thing difficult for us, those games were neutral court (Gonzaga), at home (Arizona). This one is going to be in Cameron. It's an even bigger challenge for us."
Who: Clemson (8-5, 0-1) at No. 1 Duke (14-0, 1-0)
When: 7 tonight (ESPNU)
Where: Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham
Series: Duke leads 104-29

Oh, and Don wants me to remind you to pick up your trash.
A friend had told me to come with them to see this band Phish who were playing for free down at Colorado College. Never heard of them and didn't know what to expect. I was living in Denver at the time and it seemed like a great way to spend a Sunday. They has set a stage up between some dorms and the backdrop was Pike's Peak. It happened to be sunny that day and they came on late in the afternoon for the first set. I think there may have been a hundred people there. I didn't really get them at first although I enjoyed them. It was during the solo on Possum that they started to click for me and then the rest of the show went by way to fast. They came out for the second set as the sun was setting behind Pike's Peak. The front range in Colorado Springs is a beautiful sight although the town is pretty odd for me these days. Some clouds were hugging the top of the peak and the colors from the sunset were beautiful. The stage lights(what little one's there were) popped on in synch with the early part of YEM where Trey hit's those high notes. I loved the various styles of music they played throughout the show that really got me. Unfortunately they got some noise complaints and the show had to end. I came home that night a huge fan and am real happy for their success today although I rarely see them anymore. Keep rockin'.

Women's Cross Country Place Sixth at Seahawk Invitational
September 6, 2013
WILMINGTON, NC - The Pfeiffer women's cross country team placed sixth at the Seahawk Invitational hosted by UNC Wilmington. East Carolina won the race while Campbell finished second.
Pfeiffer was led by sophomore Cori Newton who posted a 5k time of 21:21 and finished in 39th place overall. "Cori has ran great since getting back on campus. She is running with a new sense of confidence and is incredibly focused," remarked Coach Nolt.
Right behind Newton was junior Justine Serje who finished in 21:30. Janna Featherstone was Pfeiffer's third runner, coming in with the time of 21:38, four spots behind her teammates. In her first college race, freshman Mary Stegall clocked a time of 22:03. Rounding out the scoring for Pfeiffer was sophomore Trista Byers who finished in 22:14.
Just four seconds behind Byers was junior Christie Baran. Baran finished sixth for Pfeiffer with a time of 22:18, in her very first cross country race. Talking about Baran, Nolt said "Christie has been a great addition to the team. Never having run cross country before this year this season , she may be an important factor in our teams success." Kristen Hatley made her college debut with a 25:35 time, followed by senior Nina Ubabuike who finished in 26:11.
Pfeiffer's women's team has two weeks to get ready for the Wingate Invitational on September 21.

The company known as DigiZoid has released its second version of the personal subwoofer. It's called the Zo 2. DigiZoid has made the Zo 2's primary purpose to be a music player (i.e. iPod) sound enhancer. The Zo 2 is meant to turn a music player into an incredible sound experience even if the music already sounds great. The Zo 2 claims it will transform your music into something much more colorful.
The first version of the Zo and the new version are the same weight but there have been some much needed improvements and enhancements added to the Zo. The Zo 2 has two different sound modes; a low gain and high gain. Low gain is for when you are listening to more relaxed music and the high gain is meant to be used while listening to a more upbeat and loud song.
The Zo 2 is on the expensive end at $119.99, but DigiZoid claims it is worth every penny. Would this be something you'd be interested in? You could walk down the street and crank that bass. You'd be the coolest kid on the block.
