OFPP keeping a close eye on struggling acquisition system consolidation
Wednesday - 9/12/2012, 5:24am EDT
The Office of Federal Procurement Policy and the federal chief information officer's office are paying close attention to how the General Services Administration fixes the System for Award Management (SAM).
Joe Jordan, the OFPP administrator, said Tuesday SAM is a critical piece to improving the way the government buys goods and services.
GSA launched SAM July 31 with the goal of consolidating eight acquisition databases, including the Central Contractor Registration, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System and six others. SAM immediately ran into trouble and GSA issued its contractor, IBM, a letter of concern.
GSA and IBM have added more servers and taken other steps to improve the system functionality. SAM now is in a better place.
"GSA has a lot of thinking to do before they implement future phases of SAM," Jordan said yesterday after speaking at an event in Washington sponsored by the Coalition for Government Procurement. "OFPP is working hand-in-hand with them and CIO Steven VanRoekel, and other users such as DoD, to make sure the system moves forward in the right direction."
Jordan wouldn't say he was disappointed SAM didn't come out of the gate working, but did applaud GSA for the steps it has and is taking to fix the system.
"We have made no decision on how to move forward with SAM in terms of changing the technology or anything in that regard," Jordan said. "OFPP and the CIO's office are absolutely going to partner with GSA and others as we move forward to figure out the best path."
Initial concerns over SAM
The initial problems with SAM worried several agencies as they entered the final two months of fiscal 2012, which is typically the busiest buying time of the year.
The Defense Department issued a Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation deviation Aug. 21 that lets military contracting officers award contracts to companies who may not be registered in SAM. Additionally, contracting officers don't have to check SAM to see if the companies are registered.
The notice also says contracting officers may accept representations and certifications after awarding a contract.
"This deviation provides a brief period of time for achieving resolution of the remaining issues and will remain in effect only until these actions are complete," wrote Richard Ginman, DoD's director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy.
Additionally, Ginman wrote that GSA reestablished the Excluded Parties List System website to ensure agencies are not awarding contracts to companies who have been suspended or debarred.
Jordan said SAM holds the key to dramatically improving federal acquisition because it holds the data, which agencies can analyze and make better decisions.
"Once SAM is fully operational and integrated, it will be the silver bullet in solving many of our problems we have with data," he said.
Improving agency data and analytics is one of Jordan's top priorities.
One of the biggest challenges he sees across government is awareness of data, of what the government is buying and of which companies are available to buy from.
"One of the biggest surprises for me in coming into this job is we can't tell if agencies are paying different prices for the same or similar commodity goods," Jordan said. "There is no place where this information lives, and we could be spending more money than we have to."
OFPP developing central database of multiple award contracts
Along those same lines, Jordan said OFPP is progressing in developing a central database of multiple award contracts. He said this is one way his office is working with the Government Accountability Office to move interagency contracting off the high-risk list.
"The business case process for MACs has been a good first step for agencies," he said. "We have to get a handle on where the contracts exist, how they are being used and by whom right away."
Jordan said the tightening of agency budgets makes the need for collecting and analyzing data greater now than ever before.
The administration's push for strategic sourcing fits into this need to understand and use the information.
Jordan didn't address the question of whether the Office of Management and Budget would make strategic sourcing mandatory as acting Director Jeff Zients hinted at Friday.
He said agencies have saved millions through the office supplies strategic sourcing contract and 76 percent of the awards have gone to small firms.
"Small businesses should not feel like they are unable to compete," he said. "They had an opportunity to compete to get on the [strategic sourcing] contract and some did and some didn't."

Why Get Tested?
To help evaluate a person's immune system status; to detect and monitor an excess or deficiency in one or more of the immunoglobulin classes (IgG, IgA, and IgM)
When to Get Tested?
When you have recurrent infections and/or chronic diarrhea; when your health practitioner suspects an immunoglobulin deficiency; periodically to monitor a condition that affects immunoglobulin levels that may be genetic or acquired (HIV/AIDS, multiple myeloma)
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm; sometimes a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or saliva sample
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Immunoglobulins play a key role in the body's immune system. They are proteins produced by specific immune cells called plasma cells in response to bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms as well as exposures to other substances that are recognized by the body as "non-self" harmful antigens. This test measures the amount of immunoglobulins A, G, and M (IgA, IgG, IgM) in the blood and, in certain circumstances, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or saliva.
The first time a person is infected or otherwise exposed to a foreign substance (antigen), their immune system recognizes the microorganism or substance as "non-self" and stimulates plasma cells to produce specific immunoglobulin(s), also called antibodies, that can bind to and neutralize the threat. With subsequent exposures, the immune system "remembers" the antigen that was encountered, which allows for the rapid production of more antibodies and, in the case of microorganisms, helps prevent re-infection.
There are five classes of immunoglobulins and several subclasses. Each class represents a group of antibodies and has a slightly different role. Classes of immunoglobulins include:
- Immunoglobulin M (IgM) – IgM antibodies are produced as a body's first response to a new infection or to a new "non-self" antigen, providing short-term protection. They increase for several weeks and then decline as IgG production begins.
- Immunoglobulin G (IgG) – About 70-80% of the immunoglobulins in the blood are IgG. Specific IgG antibodies are produced during an initial infection or other antigen exposure, rising a few weeks after it begins, then decreasing and stabilizing. The body retains a catalog of IgG antibodies that can be rapidly reproduced whenever exposed to the same antigen. IgG antibodies form the basis of long-term protection against microorganisms. In those with a normal immune system, sufficient IgG is produced to prevent re-infection. Vaccinations use this process to prevent initial infections and add to the catalog of IgG antibodies, by exposing a person to a weakened, live microorganism or to an antigen that stimulates recognition of the microorganism. IgG is the only immunoglobulin that can pass through the placenta. The mother's IgG antibodies provide protection to the fetus during pregnancy and to the baby during its first few months of life. There are four subclasses of IgG: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4.
- Immunoglobulin A (IgA) – IgA comprises about 15% of the total immunoglobulins in the blood but is also found in saliva, tears, respiratory and gastric secretions, and breast milk. IgA provides protection against infection in mucosal areas of the body such as the respiratory tract (sinus and lungs) and the gastrointestinal tract (stomach and intestines). When passed from mother to baby during breast-feeding, it helps protect the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Significant amounts of IgA are not produced by a baby until after 6 months of age so any IgA present in a baby's blood before then is from the mother's milk. There are two IgA subclasses: IgA1 and IgA2.
- Immunoglobulin D (IgD) – the role of IgD is not well defined and IgD is not routinely measured.
- Immunoglobulin E (IgE) – IgE is associated with allergies, allergic diseases, and with parasitic infections. It is almost always measured as part of an allergy testing blood panel but typically is not included as part of a quantitative immunoglobulins test.
Quantitative immunoglobulins testing measures the total amount of each primary immunoglobulin class, IgA, IgM, and IgG, without distinguishing between subclasses. Separate testing can be performed to measure immunoglobulin subclasses and/or to detect and measure specific antibodies.
A variety of conditions can cause an increase (hypergammaglobulinemia) or decrease (hypogammaglobulinemia) in the production of immunoglobulins. Some cause an excess or deficiency of all classes of immunoglobulins while others affect only one class. Some of the conditions are passed from one generation to the next (inherited) and others are acquired.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. When required, a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is collected by a health practitioner from the lower back using a procedure called a lumbar puncture or spinal tap. Saliva or other fluids are collected in a container provided by the laboratory.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —Just when gas prices were starting to stabilize, oil industry watchdogs say 2013 will be a very expensive year for drivers.Gas prices went up in Sacramento by five cents in the last week, and up to eight cents nation-wide.At the ARCO gas station in Sacramento County, gas was going for $3.31 on Sunday.This may seem cheap to many drivers, but analysts warn that prices will climb from now until April.Winter started out with some relief for drivers but Oil Industry Watchdog Charles Langley said gas will hit record territory."Yeah, I think we're at the point now where $4 a gallon seems cheap. I think by the end of next year we may not raise an eyebrow at $5 a gallon. I think that's where we're headed," Langley said.Leslie Broga told KCRA

Arlington church thanks teacher for 20-plus years of care
Nick Adams / The Herald
Cheryl Lovgreen reads a card from Jeremiah Rodriguez, 6, during a retirement party at Our Saviour's Lutheran Preschool in Arlington on Sunday. Lovgreen is retiring after nearly 22 years of teaching. "I wrote thanks for teaching me everything I need to know," said Rodriguez when asked what was written inside the card.
Nick Adams / The Herald
Cheryl Lovgreen (left) a longtime teacher at Our Saviour's Lutheran Preschool is embraced by Jackie Hoerner in Arlington on Sunday.
On May 19, the congregation at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church in Arlington gathered after the Sunday service to thank "Ms. Cheryl" for her 20-plus years as a preschool teacher.
Lovgreen is known for her patience, her way with children and for making learning fun -- and for her fancy tea parties, said the church leaders, parents, grandparents and former students who came to wish her well.
Lovgreen, 64, grew up in the church, she said. She lives in the Arlington area with her husband, Marvin. They were high-school sweethearts and graduated together from Arlington High School in 1967.
She started working as a preschool teacher more than 20 years ago after Marvin was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She'd stayed home to raise their four children. He couldn't work anymore. She figured it was her turn.
Lovgreen was great at organizing "fun little trips," said Ernie Chamberlin, a former student who's now a sophomore at Arlington High School. She took his class to places such as Cascade Valley Hospital and the Arlington Pizza Factory to learn about careers, he said.
"I just remember her being a very upbeat person, just very positive about everything," he said. "She always tried to make it the best for all of her students."
Fifth-grader Hannah Ewing remembers Lovgreen's birthday celebrations for her students. Each kid could bring in treats. On Hannah's birthday one year, she got to wear a little crown.
"It was paper, and it was sparkly," she said.
Lovgreen's classes also celebrated themed days where kids could dress accordingly, like a Western wear day, said Hannah's mother, Heidi Ewing.
Once, they had a "beach party" where Lovgreen turned up the room's thermometer and all the kids wore their swimsuits and slid down a slide.
Lisa Willis' youngest son Jake Willis, 6, graduated from Lovgreen's class last year.
"She's just really good with the kids, very patient, loving," Willis said. "They learn a lot of things, and they learn to become good little independent students."
As an employee, Lovgreen always was punctual and prepared, the Rev. Scott Summers said. She was a "calming presence" for the school's families, no matter what else was happening in their lives, he said.
Elaine Lilgreen has been a member of the church since the late 1950s. She's known Lovgreen a long time.
"She's wonderful. She has the patience of Job," Lilgreen said. "She has stamina. She's absolutely nice. She's plain just a nice person, and she relates to children."
Lovgreen never got frustrated, even when a child misbehaved, Lilgreen said. She always was dedicated to her family, too.
"She's something God created that has all the abilities to work with children and to be a wonderful neighbor," Lilgreen said.
Lovgreen loved meeting all the families over the years and connecting with them, she said. She always tried to teach the kids about Christianity in ways they could understand. She taught them to respect the environment and recycle, she said. She loved seeing them head off to kindergarten, or what she calls "the big school."
In her classes, the kids would sing songs and act out skits inspired by scripture. They'd pray before they ate. They'd practice sign language.
"They're just learning," she said. "They're learning so much, and they're just on their way forward. It's just a fun little age. They can just absorb so much. They've got character."
After retiring, Lovgreen plans to spend more time with her husband and work on her to-do list. The couple might travel a little, too, but they'll mostly "hunker down here at home and get things done and have fun," she said.
"We have a little mini farm," she said. "We have some critters here, love to garden, love to can. I'm not going to be bored."

Title 14 published on 2014-01-01
no entries appear in the Federal Register after this date.
This is a list of United States Code sections, Statutes at Large, Public Laws, and Presidential Documents, which provide rulemaking authority for this CFR Part.
This list is taken from the Parallel Table of Authorities and Rules provided by GPO [Government Printing Office].
It is not guaranteed to be accurate or up-to-date, though we do refresh the database weekly. More limitations on accuracy are described at the GPO site.
§ 1389
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 14 CFR 256 after this date.
This action reopens the comment period for a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on transparency of airline ancillary fees and other consumer protection issues that was published in the Federal Register on May 23, 2014. We are extending the end of the comment period from September 22, 2014, to September 29, 2014. Open Allies for Airfare Transparency and the Travel Technology Association (Travel Tech) have noted the delay in posting the summary of a meeting attended by DOT staff with representatives of Airlines for America (A4A), the Regional Airline Association (RAA), and several of their member airlines on August 7, 2014. The reopening of the comment period is intended to provide all interested parties sufficient time prior to the close of the comment period for this rulemaking to review the summary of the August 7 meeting that DOT posted in the rulemaking docket.
This action extends the comment period for an NPRM on transparency of airline ancillary fees and other consumer protection issues that was published in the Federal Register on May 23, 2014. The Department of Transportation is extending the period for interested persons to submit comments on this rulemaking from August 21, 2014, to September 22, 2014. This extension is a result of a joint petition filed by a number of airline associations to extend the comment period for the proposal.
The Department is seeking comment on a number of proposals to enhance protections for air travelers and to improve the air travel environment, including a proposal to clarify and codify the Department's interpretation of the statutory definition of "ticket agent." By codifying the Department's interpretation, the Department intends to ensure that all entities that manipulate fare, schedule, and availability information in response to consumer inquiries and receive a form of compensation are adhering to all of the Department's consumer protection requirements that are applicable to ticket agents such as the full-fare advertising rule and the code-share disclosure rule. This NPRM also proposes to require airlines and ticket agents to disclose at all points of sale the fees for certain basic ancillary services associated with the air transportation consumers are buying or considering buying. Currently, some consumers may be unable to understand the true cost of travel while searching for airfares, due to insufficient information concerning fees for ancillary services. The Department is addressing this problem by proposing that carriers share real-time, accurate fee information for certain optional services with ticket agents. Other proposals in this NPRM to enhance airline passenger protections include: Expanding the pool of "reporting" carriers; requiring enhanced reporting by mainline carriers for their domestic code-share partner operations; requiring large travel agents to adopt minimum customer service standards; codifying the statutory requirement that carriers and ticket agents disclose any airline code-share arrangements on their Web sites; and prohibiting unfair and deceptive practices such as undisclosed biasing in schedule and fare displays and post-purchase price increases. The Department is also considering whether to require ticket agents to disclose the carriers whose tickets they sell in order to avoid having consumers mistakenly believe they are searching all possible flight options for a particular city-pair market when in fact there may be other options available. Additionally, this NPRM would correct drafting errors and make minor changes to the Department's second Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections rule to conform to guidance issued by the Department's Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings (Enforcement Office) regarding its interpretation of the rule.

MARK KEOHANE, writing in SA Rugby magazine reveals how Luke Watson's move to the EP Kings transpired and his reasons behind it.
What defines legacy? What defines you? What motivates you? What inspires you? What's the purpose and who are the beneficiaries?
Twitter, that wonderful social network website that can make 140 characters seem like 140 pages, had initially played host to many of these questions.
Luke Watson, once a Shark, then a Stormer and at the time captain of Bath, was among those constantly motivating, inspiring, asking questions and seeking insights. There was the occasional rugby banter, but mostly Watson would tweet about inspiration and a world far greater than an oval ball.
Twitter is how I connected again with Watson, but there is only so much one can say in 140 characters. There is also only so much one wants to say in an e-mail. Nothing beats a face-to-face question and answer session, no matter how formal or informal the occasion.
Legacy, purpose and beneficiaries. Life and growth. These were the things we were going to talk about.
We were in Bath, on a Sunday afternoon, at an extremely plush hotel restaurant. There was no need for Twitter. This was about eye contact, body language and both of us getting a feel for the sincerity of the conversation.
Watson, the player who so divided opinion in South Africa, was the unifier at Bath.
He inspired the players, supporters and those whose job it was to tell the story of Bath's season.
If we were talking purpose, legacy and beneficiary I said, when was he returning to South Africa to play for the Kings and to inspire and lead South Africans?
'It's a strange question,' said Watson. 'You surely know my dad and I have had our difficulties and going to Port Elizabeth is not something I have had reason to consider. Why would I want to leave Bath? It's giving me everything as a player.'
It was late October 2010 and I had recently returned from India with the South African Commonwealth Games squad. Watson, his foot in a moon boot, was making sense of what good could be taken from his enforced absence from the English Premiership because of a foot injury and he was intrigued by India and my impressions of the country.
India … It is a place that fascinates him on a spiritual and socio-economic level. There is poverty and there is celebration. There is ritual and unrelenting belief. There is hope.
'It's a place I will still visit with my family. It's a place whose history and people are fascinating. I've read a lot about India and love hearing the views of people who have visited the place. I find the reaction very diverse … a bit like when asking people about visiting South Africa. There are so many different opinions, but I always get an overwhelming feeling of hope when it comes to India and South Africa. And hope is always inspirational.'
Our topic discussion was vast, but I would ask again about the Kings, adding that I was aware of the sensitivities and complexities in the relationship with his father because of his parents' divorce.
I was going through a divorce and for both of us there was relevance in how it forced a rethink; how it was shaping my views and the dynamic when kids are involved. I admitted my son was taking strain.
'Tell your boy he may be 11 but it isn't any easier when you are 26 and your parents divorce. I know his pain,' he said. 'There is a lot of pain, sadness and too many questions. Can you see why going to Port Elizabeth isn't something I have considered?'
It is important people know the dynamic between Watson the father and Watson the son in October 2010 because Cheeky Watson, in his capacity as EPRFU president, did not pick up a phone and ask his son to come home and promise him a free ride.
Luke returning was not a predetermined Kings plan. The younger Watson's decision to go to the Kings was self-made and self-motivated and it had nothing to do with his father being the boss.
When I had lunch with Luke and his wife Elaine in Bath the communication between father and son was limited. It has subsequently increased but the professional formalities are at the core of their interaction. The two speak more about what they want to do for the Kings than they necessarily do about rebuilding their relationship as father and son.
It is necessary to reinforce that the drive to get Luke to Port Elizabeth came from Kings director of rugby and head coach Alan Solomons. And there was no guarantee Watson would leave England.
I had spoken with Solomons before having lunch with Luke and Elaine.
'Would you want him?' I asked Solomons. 'Are you chasing him?'
'Of course I would want him, but I would want Luke Watson and not Cheeky Watson's son,' said Solomons. 'I have enormous respect for what Cheeky is doing with the Kings and it would serve no purpose for Luke, Cheeky or rugby in this region if the time wasn't right for him to play in South Africa again.
'I don't want a player on a personal crusade. There would be no winner in Luke returning to Port Elizabeth to prove a point to his father. Luke would have to want to come because of what he believes is possible with the Kings and what he believes he can offer the game and the people in the region.
'He is a brilliant player and those who have played with him speak about his exceptional and inspirational leadership and about his ability to make things happen. He would be integral to what I want to build at the Kings, but is he at the right juncture to give up what he has in England to be a pioneer in Port Elizabeth? He captains Bath, a side that includes the England captain Lewis Moody, and his performances have been such that he can pretty much pick the club he wants to play for in Europe – and he can name his price.
'I'd love to know how much he wants to return to South Africa, but I can't see it happening just yet; more so because he has to deal with personal issues that he may not be ready to confront. But to answer your question as to if I would want him: Bloody right I would.'
Solomons was the first person I spoke to after my visit to Bath.
'You've got to get him, Solly,' I said. 'He doesn't belong in Bath. He has a greater purpose than captaining Bath for the next five years. He just has to realise it and I think he does. He has to be back in South Africa. He's done his time in England. It's been good for him because he's found himself. He's become his own man and an incredibly likeable one at that.'
Solomons wanted to know to what extent the Kings were discussed.
'We spoke more about India, South Africa, Bath, divorce, and mainly inspiration and energy. What defines a man? What motivates a man? What is success? Where and what is the inspiration and what is the purpose of it all? Who are the beneficiaries?' I said. 'And we spoke a lot about tattoos and a bit about the Kings. He knows what the Kings will mean to South African rugby and South African society. He knows he wants to be among those leading the change. He didn't say so, but I know he knows. It's in his eyes. It's in his questions.'
I joked about the significance of Watson's tattoo of a crown on his inner forearm.
'He's the king of his own destiny,' I said. 'He has the crown. He wears it on his forearm. He has to be playing for the Kings.'
I also spoke about the transformation of an individual who seemed to listen more and think a heck of a lot more since his move to England. Watson has always had an opinion and never shied away from sharing it. He is a man of statements and is apparently emphatic in his views. But I found a man asking more questions than giving answers and one wanting to be challenged more by the answer than comforted by his question. There was no pretence that he had the answers. There was no bravado. There was no intent to list the virtues of playing and living in England and he never sought an opportunity to denounce South African rugby.
He poked fun at himself and spoke with a sense of awe at the personalities he had met at Bath. Every player, he said, had taught him something. He had views on rugby in England and South Africa and on players, coaches and tournaments. He did not need me to tell him how well he was playing and he did not need to reference his season statistics as a vindication of his qualities as a player. Those were things he knew.
I also knew that he knew he had to return to Port Elizabeth – and it had to be in 2011 and not 2013 when the Kings enter Super Rugby. Bath had offered him a long-term contract and the continued captaincy. Other top European clubs had made contact but the Kings was beyond a rugby challenge and a financial safety net. The Kings spoke to his mind and his soul. Other offers spoke to his ego and his bank balance.
'I can't escape the appeal of being among the pioneers of the Kings' Super Rugby franchise,' he would later tell me. 'But if I want to go it must be now when the franchise gets built. I can't be that guy who arrives once others have done the hard work. If I feel I can make a difference then it has to be now.
'What's the price of staying or going? Do I stay with the known or chase the thrill of the unknown? Is it fair to Elaine and our little one? Will there be regrets and can I be true to my belief that rugby is a game I play and not what defines me? I have a lot to think about. Somehow I knew I would have to make a decision on returning to Port Elizabeth but I did not know it would be this soon.'
Watson, by the first week in December, had met Solomons in London. He admits he had made his decision even before shaking hands with Solomons.
'I had heard so many good things about Solly's passion and love for the game that it only made the decision easier. Once I met him I felt even more comforted that we shared an idealism for what the Kings should represent and a practicality about what they have to achieve as a team and a region.
'I consulted with people whose opinions I respect. I prayed for clarity and I have no doubt it is the right decision made for the right reasons. I am not back in South Africa to prove anything to anyone or to myself. I am in Port Elizabeth to make a contribution, to a team, to a region and ultimately to a country.
'It's about being South African more than it's about being a rugby player, but rugby in our country is a platform that can inspire and provide hope. The Kings are about hope and that is why I came back. We talk and tweet about legacy, inspiration and beneficiaries and we may as well be talking – and tweeting – about the Kings.'

So sorry I haven't gotten back to you until now, I've been travelling and haven't been on the computer. Dbell, there are a few small towns called Molinello if your relatives weren't from Bertone but it is most likely that they are from where my relatives are from as it is not a common last name.
I'm on vacation now in the states and will be going back to Italy in mid-January so if either one of you would like me to write a letter to the comune of Ottone for birth or marriage certificates I'd be happy to help. Just let me know all the details you know about them such as full name, birth date, and possibly their parents names if you know that too.
PS-dbell did you mean to write 1879 instead of 1779?

If you write to the Comune of Livorno you will be able to request your GGF's birth certificate-there you will be able to find out his parents names. P.P may be Pier Paolo, but like I said above, it will be listed on the birth certificate.
Here is their address:
Comune di Livorno
Piazza del Municipio, 1
57123 Livorno, Italia
I would write "attn: atto di nascita" at the top so it gets to the right person.

Kris BentolilaHead Coach
E-mail: email@example.com
Office Phone: 704-463-3255
Krissy Bentolila enters her second year as the Head Women's Lacrosse Coach at Pfeiffer. Bentolila is a 2009 graduate of Pfeiffer and most recently served as the Assistant Coach at Kennesaw St.
In her first year at the helm, Bentolila guided the Falcons to a 13-5 mark and an at-large birth in the NCAA Tournament. Pfeiffer went 5-1 in Conference Carolinas play and each of their five losses on the season came against nationally ranked teams. Under Bentolila's guidance, six players were named to the First Team All-Conference and Katherine Athens took home Defender of the Year honors.
Bentolila was a standout on the lacrosse field for the Falcons from 2005-09 and served as the team's co-captain in 2008-09. She was named to the All-Conference team in 2008 and 2009 and was an All-Academic performer the same two year's. She earned Second Team All-Region honors in 2009 and was a four-year member of the Dean's List. She currently ranks third all-time in assists (69) and points (172) and sixth in goals scored (103).
After her time in Misenheimer, Bentolila was named the assistant coach at Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C. She served as the offensive coordinator and oversaw the strength and conditioning workouts of the Division I program. She was also the team academic advisor and was in charge of recruiting and film exchange.
After a season at Presbyterian, Bentolila was hired to the same position at Queens University in May 2011 where she performed many of the same duties.
"I am so excited to be back coaching at my alma mater with a very talented group of players," said Bentolila. "I want to thank Bob Reasso and the rest of the administration for the incredible opportunity to lead this program. I am looking forward to keeping the momentum going with this team as they come off of their most successful season in Pfeiffer history."
Bentolila earned her bachelors in Sports Management in 2009 and also received her masters of Science in Leadership in 2013 from Pfeiffer.

Corina Mahorn enters her second season on the Pfeiffer women's lacrosse coaching staff. Mahorn has extensive playing and coaching experience, including her time training with the Team Canada National Team for the World Cup as well as Division I playing experience at the University of Detroit Mercy. She has also coached internationally with the Oshawa Lady Blue Knights U19 squad.
In 2005, the Whitby, Ontario native spent time playing in Australia. She also began training for the Canadian National Team in 2007 and made it until the last cuts just prior to the World Cup. She then began playing for Club Oshawa's Lady Blue Knights and caught the attention of Division I coaching staffs. Mahorn decided to attend the University of Detroit Mercy and was a four-year midfielder and two-time captain, for the Titans from 2008-12. In 2012, she was selected to the NLC Second Team after recording 24 goals, 35 points and 43 draw controls. She also earned NLC's Defensive Player of the Week honors on April 9, 2012, as she picked up 23 ground balls and had 12 caused turnovers. For her career, she posted 110 goals and 135 points, good for third in school history and added 146 draw controls and 25 assists.
Mahorn also excelled off the field, being selected to the UDM Athletic Director's Honor Roll four times and was tabbed to the NLC All-Academic Team three times.
After graduation, Mahorn again tried out for Team Canada and played in the North American Cup Challenge. She also played in the Stars and Stripes game for Team Canada in October 2012. Again, she advanced to the final round of cuts before the World Cup, coming just shy of making the squad.
Mahorn has spent four years as an Assistant Coach of the Lady Blue Knights and helped guide the team to a Provincial Championship in 2013. She graduated in 2012 with a degree in Accounting.

The hornets WILL hit the reset button for the regular season!!! Cue XV !!
I am not quite the pessimist that da Throne usually seems to be, but he and do agree on at least one thing....Gordon will obviously help matters, but this team will struggle scoring the ball at times....preseason or not, there are several guys who better start doing a better job of putting the ball in the basket when they have the chance....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"

Dang. Milwaukee was the only team to not get stomped tonite.
Pretty tuff game. The 3rd quarter was especially brutal to hear.

New Orleans Hornets rookie Anthony Davis shows offensive strengths in 97-68 loss to Atlanta Hawks
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultAtlanta -- Known for his tremendous defensive skills, New Orleans Hornets rookie power forward Anthony Davis is showing in the preseason that he can emerge as a dominant scoring threat. In Thursday night's 97-68 preseason loss to the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena, Davis made his first six shots and had 15 points by halftime before finishing with a game-high 19 points on eight-of-11 shooting.
But Hornets Coach Monty Williams said Davis needs more offensive help from his teammates. With starting shooting guard Eric Gordon missing his fifth consecutive preseason game with a sore right knee and power forward Jason Smith out with a shoulder injury, Davis couldn't save the Hornets from a third-quarter disaster. In the quarter, the Hornets were outscored 26-7 after making only 2-of-19 shots from the field and they trailed by 20 after going into halftime with the score tied at 40.
For nearly the entire quarter, the Hornets stopped running their offense through Davis and kept putting up errant shots late in the shot clock and struggled to get back in transition to defend the Hawks' quick shooters.
"He (Davis) played OK and hit some shots and was active,'' Williams said. "Anthony needs help getting into his sets, we're not getting a lot of execution offensively. This is a man's game and our young guys are starting to realize that man are playing it.''
Davis, 6 feet 10, 220 pounds, who led Kentucky to a national championship last season, didn't appear rattled by the Hawks' more experienced frontline that included fifth-year veteran center Al Horford and eight-year veteran power forward Josh Smith. Most of Davis' first-half scoring came against Smith and Horford. Smith started the game defending Davis before Horford switched on him.
"If a play is designed for me, I just hav to execute it as best as I can,'' Davis said. "We have other guys that can score the ball, so I'm not just trying to go out there trying to look for my shot.
"My offensive game is not where I want it to be, but tonight that wouldn't matter because we lost. That's always most important. I think in the second half we just stopped playing and they getting easy buckets in transition. We just weren't getting back.''
I can't wait to see a full rotation. Hopefully game 1. Imagine running the offense through Gordon, Davis, or Vasquez at any point? It'd be pretty hard to stop.

All-around average teenager Tsukune can't get accepted to any high school save one... but on his first day he finds the rest of the student body doesn't appear average at all. Best of all, the cutest girl on campus can't wait to fling he arms around his neck! Wait a sec - are those her teeth around his neck too...?
Tuskune's going to have one heck of a hickey when he gets home from Monster High! But does he have a chance in H-E-double hockey sticks of raising his grades at a school where the turf war isn't between the jock and the nerds but the vampires and the werewolves?

All I need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz and I'm all right.
I backhand as a hobby, I putt to pay the bills.
weeman is correct Terry Glass can for sure verify
Brian, $10 minimum for a B tier.
So $10 player packs are ok now? I can read the rules but a pack without a disc seems kind of silly. I know as a AM player the packs are part of the fun and some of us still hang disc up. I was told why the packs did not have a disc and I think Nick should post the whole truth since it was not his fault.
I think that's personal preference really, a lot of Ams don't like discs in players packs and want something else. $10 isn't fine necessarily it's the minimum, it might seem easy to you guys to just give out all this money but the bottom line really does matter. Most TDs will take a hit in their own pocketbook after it's all said and done. I'm sure Nick would have let you chip in the required money for him to get a disc to each Am. Just messing, and a B tier has always been $10 since I've been TD'ing. Step over to the darkside and become a TD, you'll quickly learn how little the payback/reward is, and how big the headaches are. HAHA

I just know I did help with EVO and Nick F. had awesome packs without taking anything away from the pros. Also you says Ams want something other then a disc and that is true for some but I bet it's a Dri-Fit shirt. lol! I mean a few of us just played in Murray. KY and it was a small tour but we still got nice packs. My point is when your a newer player the packs still matter to a lot of us and that's all but with that said it was a great turn out and good for the sport.
Hey, I thought the player pack was a bit scant, but in their defense, the payouts were fat. I got my money back in value for tying 9th in Rec. Pro Disc ($12), Star Disc ($16), & Mini ($2). Can't complain about that.
But a dri-fit would have been nice

This product does what it describes but the quality is very disappointing. It is cheaply made and won't last. It has already started to fall apart after just two uses.

I absolutely love my save the date magnets. Creating them was easy and customer service was extremely helpful to me as well. My only complaint is that I only got 298 envelopes for my 300 magnets.
Awesome Magnets!
I love the way that my magnets turned out. It was such a smooth process and quick turn around. The price is very reasonable and I could not have asked for anything better.

Sound Oasis Travel Sound Therapy System 6 6
Unwinding for sound sleep Have had ringing in my ears since my military days in the late 60's Had a device that gave me a few choices of souns through an under pillow speaker. The device broke down some time ago and I was thrilled to see your Oasis Sound therapy system and have been using it every night. It's great, thanks for putting it in your catalog good job. Charley D May 27, 2013
Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System I have used this item for about 2 weeks. I originally bought it to use traveling, but find it just the perfect thing to help me relax when I go to bed at home, too. There are several relaxing sounds to choose from, and it helps me forget my endless thoughts. The alarm feature is great, too. A peaceful way to wake up in the morning, not an annoying noise to start the day. March 24, 2013
EXCELLENT It is small but powerful! It really helped to keep out the noise during hotel stays! January 10, 2013
satisfied i wish there were more choices for the sounds. otherwise, i like it a lot November 9, 2012
Groovy Sound Machine This sound machine is great. The only thing I don't like is the blue light is too bright when yhou plug it in. The light on battery is good. Otherwise, it will work great for travelling on business and pleasure when the neighbors aren't thoughtful with sound. July 14, 2012
Not really very good item The item is larger than expected, since it is advertised as a "travel" item. It is VERY heavy when the batteries are in it, plus having to add another spare set in suitcase makes it weigh a lot. ALSO: The light is VERY bright at night & there is no way to make it less bright. If I could return this item, I would. September 26, 2013

Hollinger shot 66% from the field going 6-of-9 from the floor adding a 15-of-17 night at the free throw line for an 88% mark. The junior guard also added a pair of assists and steals in the win. At North Greenville on Saturday, Hollinger torched the Crusaders for another game-high 30 points with four more boards and four steals in 32 minutes of action.
Hollinger shot 50% from the field with an 8-for-16 shooting afternoon with a pair of triples and a 12-for-16 day at the charity stripe. For the week, Hollinger totaled a 56% shooting week going 14-of-25 from the floor while amassing an 82% free throw percentage draining 27 attempts in 33 chances. Hollinger continues to lead the team inside conference play averaging 22.3 points per game against league foes.
