Rated 5 out of 5 by AlaKaiandMi This Hotel has Wonderful Accommodations for Children My children absolutely loved the pool and the easy access to the beach. They swam their hearts out and slept in a nice, cool and comfortable room. Seeing the joy in their face was worth every dollar spent and a reason to revisit the Sheraton Waikiki. July 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Waikikifun Great view and access to shopping but limited services & amenities We stayed in the ocean front view twin room with four family members. The view from the room was fantastic, it was like staying on the ocean. However, we were disappointed that the room was not completely prepared for four guests and limited amenities compared to the other same class hotels; there was no slippers, shaving kit, tooth brush & paste, shower cap, cotton balls & cutips, bath robes, shoe cleaning kit, and shower gel. if you want the slippers, the hotel charges for it. The extra bed was not brought in the room, and we requested the hotel staff at the registration after we settled in the room, but the bed and requested amenities were not setup in the room when we came back 5 - 6 hours later. So, we called the operator, and the house keeper finally brought the bed and extra towels, shampoos etc, but no tooth brush, slippers, and robes, and we asked again. We wished the room was set up completely for the number of guests before we checked in. Finally, the long hallway from the elevator to the room was very hot and we wished that the air conditioner worked better. July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Halsal Beautiful property right on the beach The Sheraton Waikiki is the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed at. Everything is open, breezy, upbeat, and inviting. Walking into the hotel is walking into paradise. The hotel features its own beach and two pools. The slide looked fun, unfortunately, even though it was scheduled to be open from dawn to dusk, it closed before 5, so I never got a chance to try it. There are several restaurants, including a great pizza place right on the property. The shops and restaurants of Waikiki are a short walk away. For SPGs, there is a very nice breakfast in the lounge located on the 30th floor. Between 4- 8 there is a very nice spread for evening snacks, as well as soft drinks, beer, and wine. Most of the rooms have views of the ocean, Diamond Head, or the city. I enjoyed just simply sitting out on my balcony appreciating the majesty of Diamond Head. I often left my sliding glass open and enjoyed the sound of the waves crashing into the shore. Very peaceful. What is not peaceful is listening to people talking so loudly in their rooms that it almost qualifies as yelling. Not pleasant to listen to, especially at 11:40 at night when you are trying to sleep. The pools close at 6 pm, however, guests ignore this and continue swimming in between yelling at each other, again as late as 11:40 at night. I could hear them from the 12th floor with my sliding glass door closed. You have to be pretty tired from all of your sightseeing in order to fall asleep despite the noise level both inside and outside the hotel. By the time I was on the plane flying home, I was exhausted from too many consecutive nights with inadequate sleep. I would recommend the hotel have security remind people after 10 pm that the pool is closed, especially if guests are loud and rowdy. Hard to top this property in regards to location, beauty, amenities, and of course- the ocean right at your feet. Just bring some ear plugs! July 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SydneyNick Family Wedding Group We came to Hawaii for my daughters wedding , and required several rooms with guests coming and going on various dates. The Sheraton made it easy. Great service and kind assistance from all staff concerned. Many thanks to Brandon Kaya and Julie Loo. July 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JasonB101 Overnight stay for 3rd wedding anniversary trip July 12,2014 My wife, myself and her mom & dad were traveling to Maui and Kaui with a stop in Honolulu for the night. I picked this hotel for the airport shuttle and that was perfect. When we arrived we found the room booked was not available and had been upgraded to a suite. The staff and Manager on duty at the time helped with an wifi issue on my floor and bless her heart she went to a sister property hotel to get me a MiFi hotspot and that I will never forget that kindness and service. In closing this hotel is perfect for location to Waikiki beach and close to everything, I will gladly stay there again. Many Thanks Jason July 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by pepperchina Not what I expected...not worth the $$$ This may be a nice hotel for some, but not for me...and not for the money I spent. Cons: *VERY crowded *Not enough poolside chairs *Elevators & Hallways extremely hot, not air conditioned at all, I would immediately start sweating in the elevators...they were hotter than the outside temp. *Rooms are basic, (could have been in Oakland)...not very clean and despite air conditioning units the room did not cool down. * All the doors to all the rooms and bathrooms have a weird 1-2 inch gap so that you can SEE and HEAR people walking by in the hallway or using the bathroom in your room...very STRANGE and LOUD *No dressers.... *The furniture in lobby and common areas is worn and the cushions are stained. *Seems to cater to a convention crowd Pros: *Nice staff *Gorgeous views *Right on the Beach *Fast elevators (when not stopping on 20 floors) While this hotel is on the beach, it really could have been anywhere...I am sure to some this hotel is just right, but for the money I spent you would think my room would be clean, the doors reach the floors, and that the elevators would be air conditioned...

Rated 5 out of 5 by MLR7 Amazing location, facilities, and services This hotel is the center of all the actions of Waikiki. They have a great system to run this huge property successfully. The staff is friendly. Fun, fun, fun place to stay and enjoy Waikiki July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnAustralia Another excellent stay It is always a pleasure to stay at the Sheraton Waikiki. I have just returned home after a wonderful two weeks. The staff are great, with a very helpful attitude - especially the Guest Experience Manager, Sheri Thom, who is a real asset and who exemplifies the spirit of Aloha! July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mahalo111 Very friendly hotel Our recent family holiday at your hotel was perfect. I noticed from the senior staff down to the porter everyone knew there job & had a great attitude. The hotel strikes me as a very well run place & full credit to the boss. July 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by AGSO A hotel that caters for tour groups and young familie Well located facility right on the water. Outlook from room was great. The room itself was a little tired and having a bar fridge next to the bed is somewhat noisy. Bathroom is adaquet but tired and dirty. Bed linen worn. Room servicing well below par, beds not made on several occasions, there was one exception to this which I reported. Response from guest service was good. Lift areas not air conditioned on our floor. Room was generally noisy with children playing in corridors and lack of noise insulation between rooms and floors. Overall I found it to be a hotel without any personality and lacks customer service. Alright for a night or two but no more. As mentioned before pitched to tour groups. Beach attendants Kendall and Nath should be complimented on their customer service. July 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jack5959 Fireworks!! Great visit! Don't know why SPG platinum members would want to stay anywhere else in Waikiki! Great upgraded room, great view of Diamondhead as well as the 4th of July Fireworks. One of the best infinity pools anywhere! Right in the middle of everything.! July 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Linda12341010101010 Great Location Great Location and the best pool on Waikiki Beach. The rooms are small, more like a three star hotel MAX, lots of people, the gym is good but there are no windows or even a restroom in the gym, weird. The concierge line is forever long so research your excursions before and even book it prior to visiting. Also, the front desk line is long too. The location and pool is the best features, nice shopping too. They have a great photographer on site to take pictures too. Beautiful grounds! If you want more privacy and to relax, stay at Moana Surfrider or the Royal Hawaiian. Also, the pool chairs was $45 a day, who is going to spend $90 bucks for two guests on chairs when the Starwood property Sheraton Princess gives you to free chairs to go to the beach? Also, the internet is really slow which is included in the resort fee. I also felt the hotel was outdated. The rooms are super basic! July 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WacGen The best pools at Waikiki - great for kids This is a great hotel if you are looking for a cultural experience.... a Japanese cultural experience. This hotel is frequented by Japanese tourists and, except for the staff, can fools someone into thinking they are in Japan. Fantastic and authentic Japanese restaurants are walking distances. The 2 pools (a multi-level w/ slide and an infinity pool) are great for times you don't feel like going into salt water. The beach is just steps away if you do. This is my second time at this hotel and will be back again in the future. July 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Taro This hotel has good fearutes. Great location, wonderful view from the pool. July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ruckus123 Simply the best!! I have stayed at this wonderful hotel 9 stays (about 10 nights each stay) - and it just gets better and better every time I visit. The staff is fantastic, the location cannot be surpassed and the views and the pools are second to none in Waikiki. The best pools on the entire island of Oahu are without a doubt at the Sheraton Waikiki. A few staff members stood out and are fantastic ambassadors for the hotel - Isabelle, Cindy and Ropeta in Hapas, Jones in guest services/housekeeping, and Brett and Logan at the Edge Infitity Pool. The entire staff is fantastic though - so hats off to the entire team. July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SaNaGe Home Away From Home The location and service of this hotel makes it feel like our "summer vacation home" as my wife and I come here every year to celebrate our anniversary. The hotel has the best views of Waikiki beach and Diamond Head whether I'm in my room, having a drink at Rumfire or the Edge Bar, or while taking a dip at the Infinity Edge pool. Also the Guest Experience team managers like Sheri also helped make our stay this year better even before we checked in. July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jchang3 I Ping My stay at your hotel was a very pleasant one. Even before my arrival, Sheri Thom-Guest Experience Manager, communicated with me and answered questions we had before our arrival. Hotel staffs were very courteous and pleasant to talk to. July 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jil17 Great hotel Me and my husband have a wonderful stay at this hotel. Hotel is located in the central of Wakiki Beach. Great restaurants and shops are near by. Hotel roon are nice and clean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. July 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by kurichan I had some complaint We booked partial ocean view room. Our room, however, had no ocean view. We complained to customer service and we were told to go out to Lanai and look around for the ocean. We spend most of our time in the room but not on Lanai and we can not appreciate this kind of treatment. If this is your "Standerd" you should clearly state "Partial ocean view form Lanai but not form the room" at the time of booking. We wrote our complaint on your survey card and submitted to your staff but have not received any feed back. We presumed one of your employee might have disposed of it and we stated again. We also noticed that the rear side of your Lanai mesh chair is very dirty. It may spoil clothes of your customer. We recommend it to be cleaned occasionally. Thank you. July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by OzFamilyof7 Sheraton Hotel mostly enjoyable Our stay at the Sheraton was mostly enjoyable but we found that staff weren't on the same page with advice and instructions. Several times we were given conflicting information by different staff and it was a little annoying especially when it cost us more than what was anticipated.But overall the majority of staff were great especially Gerrom (activities) and Sharon (pool staff). As far as being in the heart of town it was great location. Because we had young children with us it was great location for the beach. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marnik BEST WAIKIKI HOTEL I love the infinity pool, looks great! The best hotel we ever stayed in. Thank you! July 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by AlohaDeb Beach & Pool staff needs training, Hotel Manager needs to follow up on complaints- Unpleasant stay We had a wonderful stay with Sheraton Waikiki 5 years ago, and this time we've decided to come back with our 2.5 yr old while being 6 months pregnant with my 2nd! We enjoyed swimming in the ocean & at the kids pool everyday! Until 2 days before our departure, I've decided to try out the Infinity Pool by myself and just to relax, but had to wait for my husband to change and bring my little one to the kids pool While we were waiting, I sat on the lounge chair and applied sunscreen lotion for my little one... Within a minute, a pool staff (young kid) approached me, basically asked me to leave with my little one, told me that we're not allowed on the deck. I said, I'm not planning to stay with my little one, we're just waiting for my husband to come and take her to the kids pool. He seem very unhappy and basically wanted to kick me out of the place. I felt humiliated and 15 min later, I walked to the lobby and asked to speak to a hotel manager and told her what has happened. I told her, if any 16 yr old or younger is strictly not allowed on the deck and beyond at any moment, instead of being approached and asked to leave, maybe it's best to post a sign where it's visible so guests wouldn't have to go through the awkwardness. She did nothing and only said, I will definitely let the pool manager know. I did not receive a phone call or message from the Pool Manager to follow up on this humiliation. The next day, I walked by the infinity pool and saw a mom lying on the lounge chair, with her baby sitting in the stroller, I'm asking myself, why isn't that woman asked to leave? Was I discriminated and asked to leave because I am pregnant? I will not go back to this hotel again and definitely will not recommend you bringing your little one. They treat you like you shouldn't even be there. What a joke, after spending 5 days & 4 nights At Sheraton as a SPG member, I should have chose another hotel. July 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by fash01 Busy, but acceptable If you want to be in the thick of things, this is the right spot for you. If you don't like a place where you trip over others, avoid it. The hotel rooms are acceptable. Great view. If you book more than one room, watch the attempt to squeeze more money for the lounge. The hotel hasn't figured out that more rooms = more revenue, so they want to compound the charges! Oops they have figured it out. Stayed our second time, but no more. July 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by hjp2014 Great Location The hotel is at an amazing location...but the rooms needs major renovation. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LFHAK Wonderful Hotel in Honolulu We spent a wonderful 5 nights in what is becoming our favorite get away place in Honolulu. We were warmly greeted at the front desk and immediately recognized as SPG Platinum members. Our suite was fantastic with excellent views of Diamond Head. The 30th Floor Club was a treat to visit for early day snacks and late afternoon sips! Service at the infinity pool was exemplary! Want to say a special thanx to Brett at the desk and to Sarah our server poolside. Both showed a genuine appreciation of their guests and ensured our every request was met! Also want to say thank you for hosting the aquatic yoga class. What a hoot even for someone who has never even thought of doing yoga! We are looking forward to our next visit!! July 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy always a winner here I always stay here when in Hawaii and am always happy. As a platinum member of SPG I used my suite upgrade and was given a 2 room suite. I have to admit I was a little shocked when I realize that there was a murphy bed in the living room so it would be great for families. I was only there with my husband so the bed stayed in the closet. From the welcome gift of a bag to fill with goodies in their shop to club lounge access we were impressed. This is one of the nicest clubs in Hawaii with wonderful food for breakfast and wine and beer at happy hour along with great food. Rumfire is one of my favorite places to go for a drink and they always have good music. We were pleasantly surprised this time with the addition of a music group from a local California college that played each night - it was a full band with singers and we knew all of the songs. They were out by the pool area and just added to the fun of our stay. My husband decided when we return to Hawaii this is the only place he wants to stay from now on- Thanks to all July 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SKEKU 4th of July We had a great time in general however this year Sheraton Waikiki had no entertainment for its guest until 3p. In years past Sheraton was festive from 8am to the night firework show with live MC, games, give aways for the kids, and music. Not this year sad... July 6, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cap333 This is one of the most wonderful resorts on Waikiki The staff, service, food and overall feeling of this resort is 10 out of 10. I recommend this resort to all wanting a superbly beautiful vacation or business trip. July 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by uncle good hardware, disappointing reception I made the same comments to hotels in Beijing but never thought I would make this comment to a US hotel. Most facilities in the hotel are as expected for a 5-star place in Wakiki. The service? remind me of my experience in Beijing-- the reception staff have no clue In managing customers in queue and can't function well handling conflicts. I waited in line and was standing in front of a front desk staff who couldn't turn on her computer. instead of directling us to other staff we were bypassed by many groups until I felt so disgusted of the chaos and complained . Com'on! I only expect this happening in china but not Wakiki. and then we were told that no room was available and I was asked to leave them my phone number. I didn't trust them by then and asked for a pager to page me when room is ready. I checked back near 3 pm and was told that the room was ready for a long time. I asked why there was no page and the staff just told me that they did not know that they have to page me. so frustrated. I don't even want to mention another chaotic situation about the hotel shuttle that booked via the hotel website. Listen, DO NOT book shuttle via the hotel web site. they showed up late, offered no excuse and simply don't care. I rather stay in a more friendly place then a 5 -star hotel with no soul. I am disappointed as a Starwood member since 1994. Tried the restaurant Rum Fire, totally understaffed and chaotic agian. one server looks after a large area. good for him/her to get all the 18%+ tips but the customers suffer. we waited for 20 minutes with zero services. Back to Roberts Shuttle again. Upon chekcing out, I asked the hotel staff at front door where to wait for the Roberts Shuttle to aiport becasue i had paid for return tickets. the staff told me to just sit there and wait. Sat and watied, no shuttle coming, then they saked whether they should arrange a taxi for me. Then, it turns out the shuttle pick up is at the landing area behind the coffee stand. OMG..... They get kick back from taxi to airport!!!!!!!!!!!! at my expenses. This reflects very poor hotel management and a poor working customer first culture. July 3, 2014

I tried to be a nice guy
But stars only come alive in the night sky
from Capital STEEZ (Ft. Chuck Strangers & CJ Fly) – Cab Fare Lyrics on Genius
Saying he tried to be the nice and caring guy, but just like real stars, you can only see him shine as a star in a dark environment, meaning an environment where has to act tough and can't be the nice guy, if he wants to get noticed to become a star.
You only notice starts when it's night, so you only notice Capital STEEZ when he's not a nice guy.

text: Editors note: The following is from the speech Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce executive director Laurette Leagon presented at the chambers Newly-Elected Officials Reception held Thursday. It has been edited for relevancy and to fit the space within.As one of the areas leading business association, our (the Yadkin Valley) Chamber(of Commerce) recognizes its role to serve as the voice of the business community in matters of public policy, and providing a forum for dialogue on current issues affecting local businesses.We believe it is our responsibility to work as a catalyst to bring about cooperation between the public sector and the private sector, to seek consensus, to ensure economic prosperity and to strive to always improve the quality of life for all citizens.We are keenly aware that the Yadkin Valley is growing in popularity as a tourism destination . As traditional industry and agri-business declines, tourism is becoming a growing contributor to our local economy. The Chamber staff, volunteers and its Board of Directors have spent and will continue to spend countless hours working with various agencies and organizations in this endeavor. We are working in Conjunction with VISIT the Yadkin Valley to promote Elkin, Jonesville and the surrounding 15-mile radius of the towns. We are part of the Cascade Highlands, which is a geographic region initiative comprised of nine neighboring counties in North Carolina and Virginia that are working cooperatively to promote regional tourism as a mean of economic and community development.The Chamber is honored to partner with the Jonesville Tourism Authority in the operation and management of the Jonesville Welcome Center, just off I-77 at exit 82. The Welcome Center is open daily until 8 p.m. and has the potential to have a significant impact on the amount of tourism we can direct to local areas of interest, The Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce is also assisting the Jonesville Town Council and tourism Authority on the beautification projects and lighting at exit 82, the corridor plan for N.C. 67, and the Greenway plan, which has already received funding from Clean Water Management. The Chamber is participating in the new Tourism Partnership of Surry County. The purpose of the tourism partnership is to create a joint tourism and marketing campaign in order to promote travel, expand tourism and provide tourism-related expenditures to benefit Surry County. The only component missing is an occupancy tax in the unincorporated area of Surry County. The Chamber and Visit the Yadkin Valley both endorse proposing legislation to authorize Surry County to levy an occupancy tax in the area outside our local municipalities. This will not only help further the marketing efforts of the Partnership, it will level the playing field among our lodging establishments.The Chamber membership is also a strong advocate of job retraining for our citizens. So many have lost and continue to lose their jobs in our county. We encourage our elected officials to make sure that Surry Community College and the Employment Security Commission receive funding at a level that can provide the tools and training that is vital to the future our workforce. I know there have been several studies conducted regarding changes to annexation laws. I want to encourage our state legislators to review these studies very carefully and weigh all the options before making their decisions.In closing, I wish to assure each of you that the Chamber stands poised and ready to assist you in whatever way we can, by activating our board and membership to do what is right for the towns and counties we represent and in the best interest of the citizens. Thank you.

Nonlinear absorption of laser radiation with a photon energy lower than the indirect band gap of crystal has been considered. It is shown that, as in the case of direct-gap materials, single-photon resonance at the transitions between two conduction bands even at radiation intensities j ∼ 105–106 W/cm2 yields a range of j values where optical absorption and concentration of nonequilibrium electron-hole pairs increase very sharply with an increase in j.

text: Thanksgiving week offers a welcome break from the treadmill of the semester, which always seems to speed up just before it comes crashing to a halt. One day last week I spent 13 hours on campus, then returned less than 12 hours later. Feeling somewhat sorry for myself, I posted this information on my facebook page — and had almost immediate commiseration from colleagues on both coasts who found themselves in the same straits. Both are also mothers.

Cardinals break losing streak in finalsPosted Monday, October 5, 2009, at 8:12 PM
Bloomfield boys tennis coach Mike Canty (left) has a brief chat with No. 1 singles player Derek Corn during the sectional at Loogootee. The Cardinals defeated Loogootee 4-1 Friday and North Daviess 5-0 Saturday to claim its first sectional title since 1997. The Cardinals will take a 19-1 record into the regional at Jasper Tuesday against Castle. Corn has a perfect 20-0 record this season. (By B.J. Hargis/Greene County Daily World).
Fast forward 12 months later and Hamm turned out to be one heck of a prognosticator as the Cardinals defeated host Loogootee 4-1 Friday in the semifinals and then beat North Daviess 5-0 in the final to claim the first sectional title since 1997.
"Our motto this year was 231," said Hamm. "As in Highway 231, the road that leads to Jasper.
"This is what we have wanted to do all year."
The Cardinals, who dropped five sectional championship matches in a row before winning the fourth title in school history, will face Castle at 6 p.m. Tuesday in one semifinal at the Jasper Regional.
"We have had some awfully good teams that were really close, but couldn't quite push over the edge," said Canty, whose Cardinals have won 19 of 20 matches, eclipsing the 18-win total of the 1997 team. "After we won, I said, 'This is a good thing. Why didn't we didn't do this before?"
Canty said it was anything but easy, especially against long-time tournament nemesis Loogootee, who had beaten the Cardinals in the sectional finals in 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
"It was really tense for a while," said Canty. "I tired to tell the boys that it is tough to beat Loogootee at Loogootee, because they are always ready to play and competitive.
"We just stayed with the game plan, hung in here and kept hitting balls back. At one time, Curtis (Hasler) was down 5-2 in the second set at three singles. Our two doubles (Jacob Chestnut and Andy Cochrane) also were down. But all of a sudden we just started putting things together. Curtis won five games in a row to win and get our second point. Then two doubles came back to win, earning our third point. It all happened within five or 10 minutes. I told them they don't realize what that does to an old guy like me."
Derek Corn, whose two victories in the tournament pushed his season record to 20-0 at No. 1 singles, the first time a singles player at Bloomfield has ever posted undefeated regular season. He has expanded his career record to 62-18, No. 1 all-time in singles and career wins.
"Our main goal this year was to win the sectional," said Corn, who was 18-4 at No. 1 singles in 2008. "It was really sweet to beat Loogootee. That is one team that I didn't feel badly about putting out of the sectional.
"I don't think it has sunk in yet. We were in Kindergarten the last time Bloomfield won a boys tennis sectional. It was cool because we were in the (Apple Festival) Parade Sunday. It is a really good feeling."
Canty said he knew two years ago that Corn started to make a push that has resulted in his record-breaking season.
"I knew that Corn was really pumped up for this," said Canty. "He would got out in the summer and play USTA tournaments.
"Every time I would drive by the courts, Derek was out there hitting serves by himself. I am not really surprised at his success."
Corn, the son of Todd and Sheila Corn, was not the only player that set individual records this year. Hamm and doubles partner Austin Schulte have a 20-0 record as well, also a first undefeated season for a doubles team at BHS.
The 20 victories also gives Hamm 51 for his career, the most by a doubles player at Bloomfield. He eclipsed the 41 career doubles victories by Corey Sparks.
"I really looked up to Corey when he had the record," said Hamm. "I love having the record, but it doesn't mean anything.
"The hardware is the only thing that means something to me."
Hamm, the son of Jack and Risa Johnson, and Canty both said that it was unusual for a player to play all four seasons at doubles, which might make his record even tougher to beat.
"Holden could have played anywhere. As his career progressed, I think he developed an appreciation for doubles. You have to be smart to be good at doubles play," said Canty. "As kids get experience, they usually move up to singles. Kids love to play singles.
"Holden has gotten so much smarter on the tennis court. He has always loved to hit the ball hard. But this past year, he started to look for better shots. He didn't just pound the ball down the middle, but looked for angles and touches to change the tempo of the game."
Chestnut, Corn, Hamm, Oliphant, Schulte and Cochrane, who is in his first season on the team, are all seniors while Hasler is a sophomore.
"I knew we would be awfully good, but we were awfully good last year too," said Canty, who is now 189-139 with three sectional titles (1995 also) in his 16th year in charge of the Cardinals. "We lost Willy (Scott, 56 career wins) and I did not know how Joel would perform making the move from No. 3 to No. 2 singles, which is not an easy move. Curtis also had to make the move from doubles (3-2 in 2008). We had have seniors come out for the first time and make an impact, but none have made an impact like Andy.
"These guys have just done a magnificent job. You could say it was the right kids at the right time. All the seniors, but Cochrane, have been together since grade school and they are all good friends. When they ran out of things to do, they just went and hit some tennis balls. Everything they have achieved is a direct result of their hard work. Their willingness to get out on the court and hit balls has made them great players."
The players said that Canty also played a big part in their careers.
"He has been awesome. I couldn't ask for a better coach," said Corn. "He has taught me a lot.
"He has helped me so much as a person and a tennis player that it is unbelievable. I did not want to play for anyone else in high school."
Hamm said his relationship with Canty dates back to junior high school.
"Coach Canty has been like a father figure to me. I have looked up to him since the summer before the seventh grade," said Hamm. "Coach and Nancy (Canty) have both been very good to me.
"It almost brings me to tears just to think about what he has meant to me and the tennis program at Bloomfield. There is not a better coach in the state of Indiana."
Canty said he does not like to compare teams, when asked about how good his 2009 squad is.
"It is hard to try and compare teams from 10-11 years ago or even before that," said Canty. "But this is an awfully good team.
"They are as close as any team I've ever had. They are a lot of fun to be around. If you pushed me, I would say they are the best team I've had. We never had a player go undefeated in the regular season and we had Corn at one singles and Hamm and Schulte at doubles. Not only that but they went undefeated through the sectional. That has to tell you something of the quality of this team."
Canty said they are the underdog against Castle, who has tons of experience at the regional, but he believes in his squad.
"Whatever happens, I am really proud of these guys," said Canty. "It couldn't happen to a better group of guys. I am glad to see some of their dreams come true.
"I expect Corn to go down there and play with lot of heart. Hopefully he can keep Castle out there for a long time. I feel confident about one singles and two doubles. They have as good as chance as anybody at those two spots. Then we just need another point. Lets try to find it someplace."

Berdych Cruises Into Fourth QF Of Season; Del Potro Hits With Maradona
Dubai, UAE
by ATP Staff|
Third seed Tomas Berdych reached his fourth ATP World Tour quarter-final in as many tournaments on Wednesday with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Tobias Kamke of Germany at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
Berdych is coming off a runner-up finish at the Open 13 in Marseille (l. to Tsonga) and has a 12-3 match record on the season. He won 31 of his 39 first service points and saved 12 of 14 break points against Kamke.
Watch Wednesday Highlights
Fourth seed Juan Martin del Potro beat Indian Somdev Devvarman 6-4, 6-4 then played a few points with football legend Diego Maradona, much to the delight of the crowd. Yesterday, del Potro saved three match points against Marcos Baghdatis in his opening match.
"I played better than yesterday. I was solid with my serve, and I didn't make many mistakes with my backhand. When we had rallies on the baseline, I played solid. I didn't lose my serve during the match. That gives me confidence for my next match tomorrow."
Seventh-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi reached the last eight after a 6-4, 7-6(4) victory over Lukas Rosol. German qualifier Daniel Brands overcame eighth-seeded Russian and two-time finalist Mikhail Youzhny, making his 13th appearance at the event, 6-4, 6-4 in 64 minutes.

Air passenger traffic rises at Pittsburgh International
Passenger traffic at Pittsburgh International Airport increased 1 percent in January from a year ago, breaking a nine-month streak of declines, the Allegheny County Airport Authority said Wednesday.
Pittsburgh had 558,411 passengers in January, up from 552,656 passengers in January 2012, authority data show. The last monthly increase was March 2012.
Airport spokeswoman JoAnn Jenny attributed the gain to airlines using larger planes with more seats on several routes. Airlines offered 137 average daily flights in January, one more than in January 2012, Jenny said.

D*#@ Basketball!!!

I certainly had no luck getting my sons to play the sports I pushed. I had visions of turning my first son into a tennis star. As soon as he could express an opinion, he had little interest in tennis. So I did not push it. He played all sports growing up, got into golf at 12, played basketball and golf in school, played college golf, and now is a 25 year old scratch golfer. He does enjoy tennis, probably watches it more than I do, and can hit well enough to give me a workout. Had visions of my younger son being a stud golfer, and pushed him. He hated it. Played all sports, and I did not get him interested in tennis until he suffered a fractured vertebre and torn disc as a junior high QB. So now he is the basketball / tennis player. The one I wanted to be a tennis player is a stud golfer, and the one i wanted to be a golfer is a strong tennis and basketball player. So, you just have to expose them to sports, let them find what they like, and then help them get good at that sport or sports. My younger son also played a year of high school baseball as a 9th grader, but I convinced him that being able to be good enough to sit on the bench of every high school team was not necessarily a goal to have.

The Best iPhone Stand Is The One That's With You
The Pocket Tripod is an adjustable card-size iPhone stand.
360º Adjustment
A combination of four continuous 90° sweeps lets the Pocket Tripod hold the iPhone at literally any angle.
Portrait and Landscape
There's no wrong way of using the Pocket Tripod. It can hold the iPhone facing in any direction, both in landscape and portrait.
The Pocket Tripod is as thin as two credit cards stacked on top. It fits in any wallet, so it'll always be there when you need it.
It's hidden away in your wallet until you need it
The Pocket Tripod is a must have gadget for your iPhone. At only 11.3 grams (0.4 oz), and 2.3mm thick, it hides in any wallet until it's needed. Its precise angle adjustment is matched only by full-size photography tripods, and is perfect for setting up your iPhone to point to exactly what you need it to. Whether you want to capture a breathtaking time lapse, or simply want to be included in a group photo. Because it adjusts to any angle, you can use any flat surface of any odd height, and still take that Skype or FaceTime call, hands free. The Pocket Tripod also lifts your iPhone off the surface you place it on, keeping it safe from accidental spills; and it's the only stand of this size that doesn't obstruct your screen while doing that, making it perfect for watching movies on the go.
Built to Last
The Pocket Tripod is made of high-tech plastics, engineered to be robust and durable. It's been designed for maximum functionality of its remarkably thin and compact profile. Each unit is individually tested for quality and functionality and is backed with a lifetime warranty against wear and defects.
An iPhone Tripod with only two "legs"
The Pocket Tripod derives its name from its functionality. The Pocket Tripod's circular rails provide the same tilt angle adjustment as a photography tripod's head. The Pocket Tripod's unique design is what allows it to pack the functionalities of a full-size photography tripod, its head, and an iPhone tripod mount or adapter into a space as compact as two credit cards. Find out more about the design of the Pocket Tripod.
"I'm still blown away that the angle is adjustable like that. I like things this small and compact, as I travel constantly.
This 'tripod' will be useful to me and I will definitely add it to my backpack."

The Crowd Loves It
The funds required to manufacture the pocket tripod were raised with the help of 2,565 backers on Kickstarter. Thanks to their overwhelming support, we were able to raise almost twice our funding goal and start production of the Pocket Tripod.
Try it First
The free Pocket Tripod app has an interactive 3D model of the pocket tripod. It gives you a unique way to interact with the pocket tripod, that is as close as it gets to having the real thing in your hands.
The app even lets you experiment with different colors for the pocket tripod, which you can suggest to us for our future productions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Pocket Tripod work with the iPad?
The current model is too small to hold the weight of the iPad or the iPad mini. This small size is constrained by the Pocket Tripod's size in its card form. But since iPad users, unlike iPhone users, don't carry their devices in their pockets, we're planning on making a Pocket Tripod that will attach to the back of the iPad instead of fitting in a wallet for the iPad.

They should have done this better. If Frank was in shape they should have put him in there. It's already a spectacle.
Frank Shamrock tells Sherdog, that if they would off put him instead on a "nobody" (Petruzelli), Slice might of not be in such bad shape. Getting knocked out by a MMA legend and former champion is better then losing to a light heavyweight who hasn't competed in over a year.
"When I realized we would have to cancel the show, I said, 'Look, I'll fight the guy. You know, it's a great story — little brother steps into the spot, comes out of the booth. It's very compelling, but we need a fight to happen that's compelling,…That went around for hours. Then I put my shirt on and went to work. No one committed to it, so I just kept talking."
"Kimbo is great, great for ratings … But Kimbo fighting a star, a superstar, somebody who's going to elevate him or knock him down in a good way … that's what we needed that night. We didn't need a nobody to beat Kimbo."
They should have done this better. If Frank was in shape they should have put him in there. It's already a spectacle.
frank should fight him next!!!!
I totally agree. I would have loved to have seen frank fight kimbo in the first place because frank would have destroyed him. It also would have been good for elite because kimbo would have lost to Frank and not seth who is a decent fighter but to the average fan he us an unknown.
Frank is funny first he said that Ken shamed the family name , then he says he would have fought him. Whats with this crazy ancient family name pride syndrome with the shamrock brothers. why cant they just use countless swear words in press conferences like the Diaz brothers
I Agree i wish it was frank in the first place. But i'm happy that Seth beat his ass.
But i have a question, do they put kimbo up against a bum so he can redeem himself or put him up against a legit fighter prove he can hang?
I think Kimbo is garbage, the only reason i watch him is in hope that he loses.
if elite had any sense they would have let frank fight him, frank kicks his ass and kimbo still has some hope because he stepped up on last minute and fought a legit fighter, imagine the shit frank would have talked on ken having to step in for him this would have set up either ken vs kimbo or frank vs ken it would have been win win if kimbo would have fought frank now he is just exposed by a nobody.
Frank's always quick at referring himself as a legend isn't he? I don't hear true legends that are still good enough to be in a top company refer to themselves like this!
It would have been a great story to end a night of great fights. You can be sure the big shots are wishing Frank kicked his ass now. Frank was in shape, he's always shape. He refered to himself as a superstar not a legend, get it straight. The man is a superstar. I would rather pay to see Frank fight then any of the so called asses running around today. The man has confidense, I applaud him for that. This sport needs more guys like Frank for it to explode. Believe me if Frank wanted too fight in the UFC he could pick up the phone and call DW and he would be on the next card for whatever amount of $ he wanted. No matter what DW says he wants Frank.
One in the same, don't tell me to get it str8. I still don't hear Liddell or Couture refer to themselves as superstars!
You think Frank would last in the UFC today? You really think he could take on Franklin, Henderson, or even Silva? Sure he could compete against lower level guys at 185 but he'd be tested and soon be gone. D White could give a shit about getting Frank. He has bigger names and better fighters. If Frank really believed him being in the UFC was a phone call away I'm sure he'd do it if he still has the fire in him to fight the best.
i agree with vinny, I think that frank would beat any 185er in the ufc besides A. Silva. Frank likes to hire promoters to promote his different fights. Dana would never do that so the ufc wont sign him. But I do believe that he is still one of the best @ 185. He will kick Titos ass.
Retrospect fellas. They actually thought that Kimbo was probably a good fighter and would win Seth. At some point when you hear he is a beast in the gym and is getting trained by Bas who praises the guy, you start to believe some of the hype. Problem is that punching bags dont hit back. Kimbo didnt know what to do when he was in trouble and he turtled up.
I said he could pretty much compete with any1 besides Franklin, Henderson and Silva. I'm sure there's a couple others that would beat his ass at 185 i the UFC but Dana wouldn't want him and why would he? Vinny said it's a matter of 1 call away which I seriously doubt. I also don't think he could still take Tito and I don't think Tito's even that good these days like most.
Oswald, I used to think he was a legend, until he referred to himself as one. I don't know, I think he could hang in the UFC, but only if he started with the lower class fighters. I think he could shake off enough ring rust to eventually fight Franklin and hendo and maybe even Silva. We'll probably never know. Notice, Shamrock volunteered to fight, but they didn't want that. He is too good for Kimbo the Killer, best fighter in the world and history. YouTube his fights. You'll be AMAZED!!!lol
Getting knocked out by a MMA legend and former champion is better then losing to a light heavyweight who hasn't competed in over a year.
hahaha that is so funny.. i am no kimb fan but i think he will be back and ready for better comp
actually oswald dana has been trying to get frank in the ufc ever since they took over the ufc.

Wide angle viewing attributes are a plus for flat screen TV's, but sometimes the opposite can be said for laptop computers, especially for road warriors working on planes and trains who might prefer that the information they are viewing isn't visible to the person sitting next to them. Dell has announced a software based solution to this problem as an option on its semi-rugged Latitude E6400 model.

In Depth with Francis Rose features daily interviews with top government executives and contractors. Listen live from 4 to 7 p.m. or download his archived interviews below.
Jared Serbu, DoD Reporter, Federal News Radio
The Obama Administration and a key House committee reach different conclusions today about reforming the military retirement system. The White House saying the issue needs more study. The House Armed Services Committee votes to adopt most of the recommendations of a blue ribbon panel. More details from Federal News Radio DoD Reporter Jared Serbu.
Emily Kopp, Reporter, Federal News Radio
Building a workforce for the year 2025, requires an infusion of new employees to replace the ones that leave, even if they're not leaving as fast as everyone thought they would. Attracting those new employees -- so far -- hasn't involved much discussion with the current employees, who are like the ones the government wants to attract. Federal News Radio's Emily Kopp talked to some of them and tells In Depth with Francis Rose what she found.
John Harvey, Secretary of Veterans & Defense Affairs, Virginia Commonwealth
The military branches have a template that civilian agencies could use to build their workforces for the next decade. Retired Navy Adm. John Harvey is Secretary of Veterans and Defense Affairs for the Commonwealth of Virginia. He's former Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he explained the tools civilian and uniformed leaders in the military will have to build a workforce for the year 2025, and how both forces will collaborate in the coming decade.
Catherine Emerson, CHCO, DHS, and Miriam Cohen, CHCO, NRC
Strategies for building a workforce of the future are under development now at several different levels of government. Catherine Emerson is chief human capital officer of the Homeland Security Department, and Miriam Cohen is chief human capital officer of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They joined In Depth with Francis Rose to talk about the tools they have to make sure their work forces are ready for the year 2025.
Thursday federal headlines - April 30, 2015
The Federal Headlines is a daily compilation of the stories you hear discussed on Federal News Radio each day. It is designed to give FederalNewsRadio.com readers more information about the stories heard on the radio. In today's news, the FAA says the gyrocopter that landed on the Capitol lawn two weeks ago looked no different on the radar from a bird, a bill to strengthen the patent system gets high marks from Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and two whistleblowers at the TSA won't face more retaliation.
Recruiting, retention key to bucking federal retirement trends
A reverse retirement wave is challenging chief human capital officers to rethink how they plan their workforce in FY 2020 and beyond. Two agencies -- one large, one medium -- described how to find success in one of the most important parts of that planning process: Building and maintaining a fluid pipeline of incoming and outgoing career employees.
6 signs of hope for the federal workforce of the future
While statistics show that baby boomers within the federal government are in no hurry to retire now, eventually that day will come. And the new leaders who will take their place want to work for a government that is nimble and uses technology to its advantage. In the final part of Federal News Radio's special report, The Reverse Retirement Wave, we take a look towards the future. What will the workforce of 2025 look like? We asked six government leaders today where they see the greatest opportunities for growth and what's working now that could be replicated on a larger scale.
Jared Serbu, DoD Reporter, Federal News Radio
Over the last two decades, the Army has made decisions to make its reserve forces "operational" ones. The reserves participate in contingencies around the world even in peacetime, instead of having the Army only call them up in emergencies. But the chief of the Army Reserve says funding cuts are already beginning to relegate his force to the "strategic" reserve of decades gone by. Federal News Radio DoD Reporter Jared Serbu has the story.
Sean McCalley, Producer, Federal News Radio
Sixty-five percent of federal employees who are eligible retire choose to stay on the job, according to a Federal News Radio survey. The workforce is growing older, but holding off on retirement actually makes financial sense for many employees. As part of our special report, The Reverse Retirement Wave: Planning for a Workforce that's Aging in Place, Federal News Radio's Sean McCalley talked to Kim Weaver, the director of external affairs for the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board. She's also putting off her last day to work and explains the financial reasons why many others do the same.
Roger Zakheim, Counsel, Covington and Burling
The House Armed Services Committee might be opening the door to another round of BRAC with next year's National Defense Authorization bill. The Military Readiness subcommittee wants DoD to draw up a 20-year plan that compares its expected force structure to its future infrastructure needs. Roger Zakheim is a counsel at Covington and Burling. He's former general counsel and deputy staff director for the House Armed Services Committee, and former deputy assistant secretary of Defense. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he offered ways the committee might mark up the 2016 defense authorization bill.
Kymm McCabe, Founder, ValueStorm Growth Partners
The inspectors general community is producing more than twice as many indictments and criminal investigations today than 20 years ago. In 2013, IGs from 78 different offices processed 19,000 of them; in 1995 they only did 8,000. Kymm McCabe is founder of ValueStorm Growth Partners, and former deputy director of the Defense Department's Office of Business Transformation. On In Depth with Francis Rose, she said greater oversight is paralyzing agencies because they're too afraid to make a mistake.
Bob Knisley, SEA, and Kehli Cage, YGL
Connecting experienced government managers with up-and-comers is the goal of Project Next Generation. It's a partnership between the Senior Executives Association and Young Government Leaders. Bob Knisley is director of Project Next Generation for the SEA. Kehli Cage is director of mentoring and fellowships for YGL. They joined In Depth with Francis Rose to talk about the interaction between the two groups to develop the next generation of government leaders.
Wednesday federal headlines - April 29, 2015
The Federal Headlines is a daily compilation of the stories you hear discussed on Federal News Radio each day. It is designed to give FederalNewsRadio.com readers more information about the stories heard on the radio. In today's news, the President nominates the vice commandant of the Coast Guard to be the next TSA administrator, a long-term veteran of intelligence community technology has retired from government and even before it's debated, the House version of 2016 Defense spending draws fire from the White House.
Nicole Ogrysko, Producer, Federal News Radio
Agencies need to do a better job with their succession planning and next genertion training, but budget cuts, hiring freezes and sequestration haven't helped. Mission critical projects come up, and departments don't have the expertise to see them through when long-time federal employees retire. Some agencies are turning to reemployed annuitants for help. As part of our special report, The Reverse Retirement Wave, Federal News Radio's Nicole Ogrysko spoke with federal retirees who left government and came back. Read the Reverse Retirement Wave: Planning for a Workforce that's Aging in Place.
Jared Serbu, DoD Reporter, Federal News Radio
Three years ago, Congress ordered DoD start exploring the possibility of letting servicemembers earn civilian skill credentials while they're still in uniform. Military officials say they've done much more than study the issue: civilian credentialing programs have seen a dramatic expansion over the last several years, giving servicemembers tens of thousands of new skill certifications that are recognized by private sector employers. Federal News Radio DoD Reporter Jared Serbu has the details.
Chris Cummiskey, Center for Cyber & Homeland Security, GW University
Landing a gyrocopter outside U.S. Capitol building to send a message is a felony. But the postal worker who did that also did federal agencies a big favor. That's according to Chris Cummisky, a senior fellow for the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at George Washington University, and former acting under secretary for management at the Department of Homeland Security. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he said the gyrocopter incident presents an opportunity for federal agencies to improve their risk management strategies.
Jeff Neal, John Salamone and Ron Sanders
The Office of Personnel Management reports March was the fifth month in a row they got fewer retirement claims than they expected to. The retirement wave that federal agencies and outside observers predicted, starting in the late 1990s, has never happened. In fact, the federal workforce gets older every year. That's the focus of our special report "The Reverse Retirement Wave: Planning for a Workforce that's Aging in Place." Three Federal human capital experts joined In Depth with Francis Rose to talk about the results of the survey: Jeff Neal of ICF International, and former Chief Human Capital Officer at the Department of Homeland Security; John Salamone of FMP Consulting, and former Executive Director of the Chief Human Capital Officers Council at the Office of Personnel Management; and Ron Sanders of Booz Allen, and former CHCO at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

In today's news, the Architect of the Capitol has a new project on his plate, an inspector general finds Army families' sensitive information may be at risk and the Social Security Administration wants to make customer service, employees and innovation some of its top priorities.
Time to start planning new retirement reality
The so-called "retirement wave" isn't coming. But a dramatically different workforce challenge is coming fast.
Feds choose to stay longer, creating new retirement bubble
The retirement tsunami has long been the "boogeyman" of federal HR managers -- that baby boomers would be leaving the civil service in droves as they became eligible for retirement. An exclusive Federal News Radio survey reveals that something else may be going on. In part 1 of our special report, The Reverse Retirement Wave, we explore why federal employees are opting to stay on the job longer even though they are eligible to retire.

IWF 2012: The Woodworking Industry Recovers
By Bill Esler | Posted: 08/28/2012 4:00PM
Woodworking network reported live from the IWF show on video, in blogs, and breaking news. Keep follow our post-show reports at
a href
• Pent-up demand brought ready buyers to IWF, many fully versed following advance research, and ready to see machines and systems in action as a prelude to a deal. But there is no waiting.
• Technology continued to develop even during the downturn, with buyers ready to sign for basic production systems. Reduced energy usage, operational safety and combustible dust containment are key concerns.
• The market for top-end and cutting-edge technology was also present at IWF. Labor saving materials handling, application software and hardware and supplies for managing wood production cells that can mass produce, mass customize, or efficiently deliver batches of one have ready buyers.
• Advances in wood and hardware components will let custom closet and custom woodworkers serve changing demographics: multipurpose rooms in multigenerational homes.
• Outsourcing custom wood project components has grown from doors, corbels and decorative specialties to unfinished ready-to-assemble casework and even larger assemblies.
• IWF 2012 had an even more global flavor than in the past. Get ready to compete with wood product manufacturers from Brazil.
Set-up for the International Woodworking Fair can seem chaotic from the show floor. Here are a selection of photos as the clock counted down the afternoon before the show opened, and then some scenes from the show floor.

If a football season is like a class for the high school teams in the area, it's almost time for midterm grades to come out.
And for Garces and Stockdale, tonight is one last chance to make a good first-half impression.
The Rams (2-2) and Mustangs (1-2) have gone through up-and-down early seasons against good schedules, and now they collide at 7:30 p.m. at Stockdale in a game broadcast live on bakersfield.com.
"This is a huge step for us, if we can beat a Division I team," Garces coach Jim Maples said. "It's a game that has playoff implications for us written all over it. It's something that could give us a (top-four) seed in the (Division II) playoffs if we win this game and handle our business in league."
Garces has lost games to San Luis Obispo (3-1), an upper-division team from the Southern Section, and to Bakersfield, one of the Central Section favorites. They rebounded to beat San Joaquin Memorial in the Holy Bowl, 20-14, on Saturday.
"We really had our best performance of the season to win that game," Maples said. "If things go the way we hope they go, then that will be a turning point of the season."
Before a bye week and league play the week after, the Rams must first tangle with Stockdale. The Mustangs play winless Clovis-Buchanan next week before league, so this might be their final non-league test, too.
After opening the season with a close loss to Stockton-St. Mary's, Stockdale routed Inglewood and then lost 37-14 at Clovis last week.
"You want to keep improving up until league, and then even after that," Stockdale coach Mike Snow said. "But for us, if we play better, the results will be better. Our concern right now is less what the scoreboard loos like and more of how we play.
"We beat Inglewood a couple of weeks ago, and we played OK, but not great. You start believing your press clippings after a game like that. Well, there's no chance of that this week."
Both teams bring high-powered running games into the crucial game. Garces junior Sheldon Croney is second in Kern County with 766 rushing yards, and the Stockdale trio of Anthony Wood, Xavier Chisholm and Adarius Rowel has combined for 868 yards.
"The key for us is picking up first downs and keeping our defense off the field," Snow said. "If we can maintain drives and limit our mental errors, their playmakers don't get as many chances."
Centennial (1-2) also has two games left in non-league play, tonight against Santa Barbara (2-2) and next week at Tulare Union. Conference play begins tonight in the South Sequoia League, with Chavez at Bakersfield Christian, Arvin at Taft and Shafter at Kennedy.
For the rest, there's still some time to prepare.
While some teams seek passing grades for non-league play, Liberty is working on a perfect score. The Patriots are 4-0, with routs of Delano, Tehachapi and Buchanan sandwiched around an impressive triple-overtime victory at Fresno-Central.
Now they'll try to wrap up league play and go into their bye week with a win against Ridgeview (2-2).
"We've talked about that," Liberty coach Bryan Nixon said. "We want to complete phase one (tonight). Phase two is league, and we want to go into league on a good note. We'll take our bye week and then hopefully start league right."
Ridgeview beat Liberty last year in one of the Wolf Pack's signature victories en route to the Division III section title. This year, Ridgeview has to deal again with Liberty quarterback Josh Medina, who has completed 74.7 percent of his passes for 844 yards, eight touchdowns and no interceptions.
"He's done a really nice job of making his reads and putting balls in positions where receivers can catch them," said Nixon, who's in his first year at Liberty. "He's a very savvy football player. He's easy to talk to about the game."
After the bye week, Liberty opens Southwest Yosemite League play with Bakersfield, the preseason league favorite, on Oct. 11. The Drillers (2-2) also have a bye next week after wrapping up their first half tonight at home against Buchanan.
Bakersfield lost 27-7 last week to Long Beach Poly and dropped from Cal Hi Sports' state top 25.
Also looking to rebound is Frontier (2-2), which has lost two games in a row by double digits after starting 2-0. The Titans travel to West (2-1) tonight and will be without running back Nick Santoro, who sprained his knee in a loss to Clovis North.
Frontier coach Rich Cornford used to coach at West, where he won the D-II section title in 2005.
"It's always nice to go back home," he said. "It's a fun game for me; I'm looking forward to it. After this one, the bye week comes at a good time."
That rings true for plenty of teams, but it's particularly good news if you go into a two-week break with a victory.
"It's been good so far," Nixon said, "but we need to play four good quarters to complete phase one."

Hahaha, that's awesome, we have dads who were separated at birth. It's hard coming to terms with aging, but the more I think about it, the less it bothers me. We all have a limited time on this planet, as long as we do our best within our given framework and, more importantly, enjoy life and share that enjoyment, nothing is wasted. It's better to have a fun/enlightening life than just a "long" one :)

We have had this conversation before and I do not think, that anything has changed. Go back and read all the discussions.
Also, this discussion is NOT about S&V. There is much more to a fast and low bouncing court than serve and volley.

We are talking about HC and grass, if I am not mistaken. Why the clay vs. HC argument keeps popping up in your responses is beyond me.
It is also beyond me, why you keep talking about carpet, when carpet is not presented on Tour at the moment and it has no place in that discussion (because there is nothing to compare there).

The same as above.
I am not talking about Nadal's success on clay vs. his overall success on HC. I am talking about his success on slow and medium HC vs. fast HC. There is a clear difference.

But baseline play does now hugely predominate at all tournaments, and it's mostly because of the technology in today's game.
You seem to think, that staying on the baseline is typical only for slow and medium HC, which is far from the truth. Even on the fastest HC can be and is rallied from the baseline. It is just that a much more penetrating balls can be fired for winners in such conditions. The modern technology is perfect for such play, but the speed of the courts doen't allow it.

This is not an answer to my question.
Besides, are you suggesting, that the players couldn't find their shots, because of the slipperiness of the blue clay? And if you are not suggesting that, why are you talking about it, as though the slipperiness is responsible for what we saw?Because I sure as hell saw a lot of attacking play. From the baseline.
