During the bottom of the 8th inning of the game between the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field on Wednesday night, a fan flashed some sweet catching skills after a foul ball off the bat of Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak. With the ball descending down on him, this young man utilized the only thing he had in his possession that could be used in place of a glove, something he thankfully did not have on him as grown men should never bring gloves to games: His beer cup. With his pals jockeying for position under the foul ball, he snatched the ball out of their respective clutches by catching it his glass. And then, without any regard for the dirty ball floating in his cup of suds, proceeded to slam his beer in classic brewski-slugging fashion. Via MLB.com: Kudos, good sir. That's how you do it. Although at the ridiculous prices of beers at ball games, I have to dock a few points off his beer-swilling exhibition score for wasting so much of that sweet, precious liquid of intoxicating goodness.

For over 35 years, Professor Roger Vasas has been passing his knowledge down to Becker College students as a professor of biology and anatomy and physiology.
Prior to joining Becker College, Vasas was an instructor of anatomy and physiology at the Hartford Hospital School of Nursing, conducting lectures and laboratories for anatomy and physiology, basic chemistry, and microbiology. From 1968 to 1970, he taught at Franklin Pierce College, where he also earned his bachelor's degree in biological sciences. He earned a master of science in biological sciences from Anna Maria College in 1981, and completed other post- graduate work at the University of Hartford and the University of Massachusetts. He is the co-inventor of a biochemical fuel cell, patent number 3 811 950.
At Becker College, Vasas saw a learning opportunity when he noticed students consistently arriving 15 minutes early for his morning anatomy and physiology class. He created a PowerPoint slideshow of photos he had taken of students identifying muscles on dissected specimens, and he played it on the classroom's flat screen monitor before class started.
The photos and soundtrack, including songs such as George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone," caught the nursing and exercise science students' attention. They began calling out the names of the muscles in the photos and even recognized their own specimens. Some students requested that the PowerPoints be posted to the Angel online academic platform, for further reference.
Capitalizing on his success, Vasas created a second slideshow and is currently working on his third. "You have to look for every opportunity to engage students," he says.

MODELING THE COMPONENTS OF A 1. INTRODUCTION Renewable Energy Sources are those energy sources HYBRID POWER SYSTEM which are not destroyed when their energy is harnessed. 2.1Modeling the Solar (PV) System Human use of renewable energy requires technologies A PV generator consists of an assembly of solar cells, that harness natural phenomena, such as sunlight, wind, connections, protective parts, supports etc. Solar cells are waves, water flow, and biological processes such as made of semiconductor materials (usually silicon), which anaerobic digestion, biological hydrogen production and are specially treated to form an electric field, positive on geothermal heat. Amongst the above mentioned sources one side (backside) and negative on the other (towards of energy there has been a lot of development in the the sun). Then solar energy (photons) hits the solar technology for harnessing energy from the Solar & wind cell, electrons are knocked loose from the atoms in the [6]. semiconductor material, creating electron-hole pairs. If Solar and wind energy are non-deflectable, site- electrical conductors are then attacked to the positive dependent, non-polluting, and potential sources of and negative sides, forming an electrical circuit, the alternative energy options. Many countries are pursuing electrons are captured in the form of electric current the option of wind energy conversion systems; in an (photocurrent) [4].The model of the solar cell can be effort to minimize their dependence on fossil-based non- realized by an equivalent circuit that consists of a current renewable fuels. Also, presently thousands of source in parallel with a diode (Fig.1). photovoltaic (PV) deployments exist worldwide, providing power to small, remote, grid-independent or stand-alone applications. For both systems, variations in meteorological conditions (solar irradiation and average annual wind conditions) are important. The performance of solar and wind energy systems are strongly dependent on the climatic conditions at the location. The power generated by a PV system is highly dependent on weather Figure 1 Equivalent circuit diagram of a solar cell Volume 1, Issue 4 November - December 2012 Page 101 International Journal of Emerging Trends & Technology in Computer Science (IJETTCS) Web Site: www.ijettcs.org Email: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com Volume 1, Issue 4, November – December 2012 ISSN 2278-6856 The p-n junction has a certain depletion layer radiation.

What N. Dakota voters have to say about 2012 races
— "I generally vote Republican for president, and the rest of the time I usually vote against the incumbent," said John Matheson, 85, a retiree from Fargo. "I think we're poorly served by some of these people."
— "Rick Berg signed the Grover Norquist agreement and that negated him as a candidate for me," said Carol Preston, 77, of Fargo, referring to the anti-tax advocate who has gotten many Republicans to pledge not to raise taxes. "The people of North Dakota vote for our representatives and senators and I don't think any of them have the right to sign a pledge with Grover Norquist that won't bring in more revenue."
— "I think the Democrats do a better job of looking out for the people than the Republicans do," said Sonny Olson, 53, of Fargo, who works in retail. "The Republicans have an advantage in this state, but I figure if I don't vote, it gives them even more of an edge."
— "The presidential race interested me the most. I voted for Obama," said Tracy Carlson, 31, of Fargo, who works for a law firm. "I think Romney is a little bit on the chauvinistic side."
—"I was raised Democratic. My mother was very, very staunch. I don't think (President Barack Obama) has done that bad. He had a lot to fix when he got in, all of the economy that went downhill for the last eight years," said Pat Stoxen, 60, a registered nurse in Bismarck, who voted for Obama and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Heidi Heitkamp.
—"Most of my family and friends are telling me that's the right choice that needs to be made right now. It was more of a peer thing. I really didn't get the whole lowdown," said Trevor Schmitt, 19, a Bismarck State College student and first-time voter, discussing his support for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

For the first time since the end of the World War Two, a German museum is offering a close look at "Operation Anthropoid," the codename for the only successful assassination of a member of Adolf Hitler's inner circle.
Michal Burian of the Military Institute of Prague, which presented the exhibition in the Czech capital before it moved to Berlin, says the assassination ranks among the most important moments of the last century and is far more than a footnote.
"The assassination is an ancient tragedy. You can find everything in this story -- bravery, love, betrayal, death. In my opinion, it is one of the most interesting stories of the 20th century," he said.
The Heydrich assassination took place on May 27, 1942, on a quiet street in the Prague suburb of Kobylisy. Two young men -- a Czech and a Slovak -- ambushed Heydrich's black Mercedes-Benz convertible as he was on his way to Prague's Hradcany Castle.
Slovak Josef Gabcik wanted to shoot Heydrich, but his Sten submachinegun jammed at the crucial moment. Heydrich was about to shoot Gabcik with his pistol when 29-year-old Czech Jan Kubis lobbed a modified anti-tank grenade at the vehicle.
The bomb exploded. Heydrich died of his wounds a week later. This sealed the fate of both men and thousands of Czechs who were imprisoned, tortured or murdered after Hitler ordered the SS and Gestapo to "wade in blood" to find Heydrich's killers.

Serious crashes mar Stage 3 – won by Joaquin Rodriguez with Chris Froome grabbing Yellow
Joaquin Rodriguez triumphs on Le Mur
Chris Froome snatches Yellow by one second from Tony Martin
Unfortunately two crashes marred yesterday's Stage 3 that finished on top of Le Mur de Huy. The second was poarticularly serious and led to the race being neutralised due to the number of medics and ambulances tending to injoured riders. It also led to the abandonment, after finishing, of the Yellow Jersey – Fabian Cancellara – with two fractured vertebrae a very sad way for Cancellara to finish what may have been his last Tour de France. William Bonnet, who was the first to crash, Dutchman Tom Dumoulin, Australia's Simon Gerrans, South African Daryl Impey and Dmitry Kozontchuk (Russia) also abandoned.
Joaquin 'Purito' Rodriguez won the steep climb to the top of Le Mur de Huy with Chris Froome just behind on the same time and gaining a six second time bonus. Alexis Vuillermoz was third with Dan Martin in 4th. Although Le Mur is only 1.3 kilometres long its steepest gradient – given as anything between 20% and 26%, there were some significant time gaps. Amongst the overall favourites Tejay Van Garderen, Bauke Mollema, Vincenzo Nibali, Nairo Quintana and Alejandro Valverde lost 11 seconds to Froome (before adding the six second bonus), Contador (18), Rigoberto Uran (34), Romain Bardet (36) and Thibaut Pinot (1' 33").
Overall Froome now leads his rivals by: Van Garderen (13"), Uran (34"), Contador (36"), Mollema (1' 32), Nibali (1' 38"), Valverde (1' 51"), Rodriguez (2'), Bardet (2' 54") and Pinot (2' 58").
Stage 4: Seraing to Cambrai
Today's stage at 223.5 kms is the longest of the 2015 edition and includes seven sections of cobbles totalling 13 kilometres. Although in contrast to last year's awful wet conditions, the forecast is for the dry weather to continue during the day with the possibility of rain in the evening after the stage has finished.
Even so today's stage will surely shake up overall standings again. Will Froome come through unscathed in marked contrast to last year when a wrist injury forced him to abandon before the race hit the cobbles. Nibali, who rode so well last year, will be looking to repeat his performance and grab back some time.
Cancellara would have been amongst the favourites to win today.
Update: The possibility of rain at the end of the stage appears to have increased.

#TDF2015: Griepel wins in Zealande, Yellow for Cancellara – Belgian classic today
Stage 2: From Griepel first up to 17th
The potential chaos for chaos in Stage 2 duly arrived with wind and rain ripping the peloton to pieces with some of the overall contenders notably Nibali, Quintana and Pinot losing significant time on Froome, Contador and Van Garderen. First of the leading contenders is Van Garderen on 44''. He is followed by Froome (48''), Contador (1 minute), Pinot (2'07"), Nibali (2'09"), Valverde (2'22") and Quintana (2'27").
However, a rider like Nibali, may well make up some or all of this deficit on tomorrow's cobbled stage to Cambrai.
Despite having plenty of team mates in the leading group Mark Cavendish didn't win the sprint coming in fourth after André Griepel, Peter Sagan and Fabian Cancellara. Mark afterwards complained that Mark Renshaw, normally such a reliable leadout man, had peeling off too early leaving him to sprint 300 metres rather than his preferred 200 metres. Mark's fourth place and Cancellara's third meant that Tony Martin missed out on the Yellow Jersey as Fabian's bonus seconds put him in Yellow instead.
Stage 3: Antwerp to Huy
Profile of Stage 3 with plenty of sharp climbs
towards end of stage finishing with Mur de Huy
The tough end to Stage 2 could see further time gaps between some of the overall contenders as the stage ends with the ascent of the Mur de Huy with an average gradient of 9% but with parts up to around 20%. This climb features in the La Flèche Wallonne won this year by Alejandro Valverde, who must fancy his chances for a repeat performance today.

#TDF2015: Rohan Dennis goes like the wind – will wind cause chaos today?
Previous World Record Hour holder Rohan Dennis surprised Tony Martin, Fabian Cancellara and Tom Dumoulin with a blistering ride around Utrecht. Dennis was the only rider to break 15 minutes completing the 13.8 kilometre course in a record speed of 55.446 kph (34.4 mph). He beat Tony Martin by five seconds, who finished in 15.01. Martin explained afterwards that he couldn't cope with the heat.
Vincenzo Nibali was the fastest of the four overall favourites finishing with 15.39, so leading Chris Froome (15.46), Alberto Contador (15.54) and Nairo Quintana (15.57). There were good rides by other overall contenders – Rigoberto Uran (15.36), Thibaut Pinot (15.37) and Tejay Van Garderen (15.38). These results appear to further confirm recent results that Chris Froome's time trialling form is considerably below what it was in 2012 and 2013.
Stage 2: Utrecht to Zealande
Today's stage (166 kms) really is pan flat – starting at 4 metres altitude in Utrecht much of the day is spent at sea level or one metre with the highest point being six metres. With no shelter from the wind this could be a very tricky stage with echelons forming and the potential for splits in the peloton. This will surely be a win for one of the sprinters with Mark Cavendish, Alexander Kristoff (28 today) and André Griepel being the most obvious favourites. Whether it is a big bunch sprint will delend on what effect the wind has.
Unfortunately there are likely to be crashes today, so hopefully everyone will come through safely.
It would be great to see Mark Cavendish notch up his 26th Tour de France stage win, especially as he hasn't won a stage since Saint Amand Montrond when he beat Peter Sagan in a stage where the wind blew the peloton into small groups.

Cambridge Wine Merchants: The wines we tasted on 23rd June
The wines we tasted:
2008 Crémant de Loire Préférence Domaine de Landreau £14.99
A blend of Cabernet Franc, Chenin and Chardonnay, which spends three years sur latte. Note: clean, lemony fresh, still pale, no sign of evolution, good aging potential.
2014 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie Château de l'Oiselinière de la Ramée. Bernard Chéreau £8.99
From a 10-hectare domaine in Vertou, a commune close to Nantes, this is crisp, lemony and still young. It has the fine balance that is typical of 2014. Can be enjoyed but will happily keep and develop for a number of years.
2014 Petit Bourgeois - Sauvignon Blanc, IGP Val de Loire Domaine Henri Bourgeois - £10.50 screwcapped
Pungently gooseberry and grassy – even a hint a cat's pee when first opened, this is made from grapes sourced mainly in Touraine. The Bourgeois are well known for paying above the normal négociant price for good quality grapes.
2014 Reuilly Blanc Domaine du Chêne Vert, Domaine Valéry Renaudat £11.99
White Reuilly has to be made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, Blanc Renaudat's Reuilly won a good number of friends here. It is more restrained than the Petit Bourgeois but has good concentration and would benefit from more time in bottle as it is quite tight in the finish.
From Valéry Renaudat's website: 'Né en Berry, je débute mon expérience professionnelle aux Etats-Unis, avant de revenir parfaire mes connaissances dans le Bordelais et en Bourgogne. En 1999, je m'installe sur 2.5 ha de vignes répartis sur les deux appellations : AOC Reuilly et AOC Quincy. Aujourd'hui, avec mon équipe, j'exploite 18 hectares avec les cépages sauvignon, pinot noir et pinot gris.'
(Born in Berry, I started my professional wine experience in the United States, before returning to France for spells in Bordeaux and Burgundy. In 1999 I started my own domaine with 2.5 hectares of vines: split across the appellations of Reuilly and Quincy. Today with my team I have 18 hectares of vines planted with Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. http://www.valeryrenaudat.fr)
2013 Menetou Salon Le Prieuré des Aublats Domaine Henri Bourgeois
2013 Menetou Salon Le Prieuré des Aublats Domaine Henri Bourgeois
Unlike the Reuilly this Menetou Salon from the Bourgeois stable and from vines on clay/limestone is more ready to drink – lemony, lightly grassy, well balanced with good length.
2014 Château de l'Abbaye Morlat, Pouilly-Fumé £14.99
2014 Château de l'Abbaye Morlat, Pouilly-Fumé £14.99
This domaine in the St Laurent commune Pouilly sur Loire to the north/north east of Saint Andelain.
Still young and quite restrained on the nose, attractive texture and some complexity. A little tight in the finish at the moment, this Pouilly-Fumé should age well.
2012 Sancerre Rouge La Croix Renaud Clément et Florian Berthier
2012 Sancerre Rouge La Croix Renaud Clément et Florian Berthier
The Berthier's own a total of 8.5 hectares in Sancerre – Sury-enVaux and Saint-Gemme-en-Sancerrois (to the north of Sury) with the vines coming from the maternal side of the family. Jean-Marie adds a further 10 hectares in the Coteaux du Giennois.
Over the last 20 years there has been a revolution in the quality and ambition of the Pinot Noirs from the Central Loire Vineyards. This medium weight Sancerre Red has attractive, delicate red cherry fruit. Their 2014 is likely to have more concentration. The Berthiers also make a good, pure Pinot Noir in the Coteaux du Giennois – called Inedit, which is stocked by Cambridge Wine Merchants but was not in the tasting.
2014 Cuvée du Domaine, Bourgueil Joël Taluau and Thierry Foltzenlogel £9.99
This well-known domaine has 28 hectares four of them in Bourgueil and the rest in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. Sadly Joël Taluau died suddenly in June 2013. The estate is now run by Thierry Foltzenlogel, the son in law, and Clarisse his wife and Joël's daughter.
The early-bottled 2014 Bourgueil has lots of the juicy, perfumed fruit now associated with the 2014 vintage in the Loire. Good value at £9.99.
2012 La Chapelle, Chinon, Domaine La Jalousie, Cravant-les-Coteaux £18.99
The prestige cuvée from Domaine de la Jalouise. This softly and quite lightly textured wine raises the interesting question whether it is worth releasing a prestige in a difficult vintage like 2012, especially when it will be compared to vintages like 2014. It is difficult to claim that the 2012 Chapellle is worth paying nearly twice the sum that will secure a bottle of the Taluau and Foltzenlogel Bourgueil. I know which one I would buy…..
2011 Coteaux du Layon Tri de Vendange Domaine du Landreau £19.99
Domaine de Landreau is owned by Raymond morin, who also owns Domaine la Jalouise in Chinon. This Coteaux du Layon comes from vineyards in Saint-Lambert and the neighbouring St Aubin-de-Luigné.
2011 is a very good sweet wine vintage and this attractive Layon is delicately sweet without huge concentration, which makes it a more versatile than a super-concentrated cuvée. As such it shows the stupidity of referring to these sweet wines as dessert wines. This 2011 will be much better drunk as an aperitif, with blue and hard cheeses rather than many desserts, which will tend to mask the sweetness and heighten the acidity. Alternatively enjoy a glass at the end of a meal in place of a dessert.

Money loses value daily due to inflation and gold does not(and usually increases in value). That is why many people invest in it. That being said, I wouldn't have it in dust form. I'd get solid gold and in a safety deposit box.
If I had $700k worth of gold, I'm damn sure the next day I would have $700k of money in my bank instead
Recently did a financial analysis of the Pfizer Inc. in a finance class. $700,000 isn't much for them. They have numerious projects worth more than that fail yearly so they will likely just write it off as a project expense somewhere. They probably wouldnt think twice about it if it wasn't for the fact that someone may have stolen it. Time to take a look at inventory procedures I'd say.
I don't think that I would be that careless with $700, 000 worth of gold.

More items for
Program/Project Management
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is seeking engineering proposals from qualified consultants for a term contract to perform management and QA services for upcoming bridge painting projects statewide.
The duties will include proposal preparation, project management, and/or quality assurance coatings inspection services.

Containment structures encapsulate portions of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge for cleaning and painting operations in June 2007. This photo is from a previous bridge painting contract.
The selected firm will provide on-site project management, which includes project coordination, claim processing, calculation of pay estimates, preparation of final documentation, and workmanship inspection.
The consultant must provide a minimum of one contract manager, in addition to various field managers and/or inspectors as requested by the KYTC on-site inspection.
Contract Requirements
Proposals will be evaluated on six factors, including relative experience with bridge painting management and coatings inspection for the KYTC and/or other similar agencies; past experience with similar projects; and special or unique expertise.
In addition, the consultant will provide project managers who are NACE- or SSPC-certified and certified in lead paint (SSPC C-3). Project managers must also be trained in and familiar with OSHA requirements for fall protection, horizontal lifelines, lead abatement, and respiratory guidelines.
Proposals are due Dec. 12. The contract, which has a $4 million budget ceiling, begins Feb. 20, 2013, and ends June 30, 2015.
Lessons Learned
At least one Kentucky bridge has a troubled painting history. In the mid-2000s, scandal marked the painting of the John F. Kennedy Bridge, a seven-lane cantilever bridge that carries Interstate 65 over the Ohio River, connecting Louisville, KY and Jefferson, IN.

Earlier failed painting projects drove up the cost of the last painting job to $59 million.
Those years included painting projects abandoned, contractors fined, and a fatal fall by a painter during the work.
Between the late 1990s and 2006, the state twice paid contractors to repaint the bridge, who then failed to do so. The attempts cost more $23 million, with little apparent result. The first of the two contracts, awarded in 1999, ended two years later in a bribery scandal that resulted in criminal prosecution.
On Dec. 5, 2007, the painting of the bridge, built for $10 million, was completed at a cost of $59 million, which included the two previous failed painting projects.
Reported by Paint BidTracker, a construction reporting service devoted to identifying contracting opportunities for the coatings community.
Comment from michael deaton, (3/22/2015, 10:17 AM)
I was a part of 2 of the attempts to paint this project. 1 firm was in way over their heads, the other completed it, after the intense inspection was pulled back. Crossing the Kennedy now, what you see is the end result of relaxed inspection. Chain marks rusting along with some of the coatings actually peeling off of the diagonals and horizontal box beams. Hopefully there will be a better performance on the new Kennedy that is being constructed.
Comment from Jim Johnson, (3/24/2015, 1:38 PM)
Hopefully the engineering/management/inspection firm will be held responsible for the performance/failure of any coating project.

Jeffs Return Four Starters to Experienced Group
Amherst posted a 14-11 record during the 2009-10 season and missed out on the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 11 years, but it didn't take long for head coach Dave Hixon '75 and his boys to get back on track. Last year's Lord Jeffs won their first 21 games, advanced to the national quarterfinals and finished at 25-4 overall, with their four losses coming by a combined 24 points to Final Four teams.
Dave Hixon '75 led the Lord Jeffs to a 25-4 record last year.
The improvements Amherst made from the 2009-10 season to the 2010-11 campaign were drastic. Two major components the Jeffs focused on were free throw shooting and defense, and their offseason dedication paid off. In addition to bumping its shooting percentage at the line from 63.4 to 74.5, Amherst surrendered an average of 5.4 fewer points per game than it did the previous year.
Ranked fourth in the D3hoops.com Preseason Poll, Amherst is poised to make another deep tournament run with the return of four starters and an outstanding senior class. The Jeffs welcome back seven players who averaged at least 14.0 minutes and 6.0 points per game last year, including four players who contributed at least 10.0 points per contest.
The 2010-11 Lord Jeffs finished with the third highest scoring margin in Division III (+18.9), notably beginning its national tournament run with a 79-39 win over Skidmore and a 92-70 victory at WPI. "We showed what we can do last year in the NCAA Tournament," Hixon says. "Our seniors will be key for us this year, and I'm excited to see what they can do. The sky is the limit with this group."
Serving as this year's captain is Taylor Barrise '12, a three-year contributor and one of the best sharpshooters in program history. The 6'5 guard shot 42.6 percent from long range and 80.0 percent at the line a year ago, marking drastic improvements in both categories from the previous year. Barrise also saw jumps in his rebounds and assists, and he begins his senior season 53 three-pointers shy of surpassing the school's career record of 198.
Amherst's explosive offense will once again rely on Barrise's ability to extend teams' defenses. He hit at least five three-pointers in five games last year, notably going 7-for-9 against Elms, 7-for-10 versus Babson and 6-for-10 at WPI. During a dominant four-game stretch Barrise knocked down 23 of his 37 attempts from behind the arc (.622). "Taylor is as good a shooter as there is in the NESCAC," Hixon says. "If you give him space, he'll make you pay. He's worked really hard, and I'm hoping he picks up where he left off."
Coach Hixon traditionally gives his players time to develop, but David Waller '12 broke the mold and has been in the starting lineup since the beginning of his first season with the team. A 6'6 forward, Waller has been putting up impressive numbers for three years, but his junior season was by far his best. He averaged 8.1 points per game and shot 55.0 percent from the floor, notably hitting 47.7 percent of his threes after knocking down only 23.3 percent as a sophomore.
Waller is a matchup nightmare as a perimeter player with an explosiveness that can catch defenses off guard. He recorded a double-double against Castleton State and proved he can distribute as well as he can score when he had 13 points and six assists against Tufts. In the team's final three NCAA Tournament games Waller averaged 15.3 points, 3.7 assists and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 50 percent overall and 42.1 percent from long range.
Taylor Barrise '12 will serve as this year's captain.
Nicknamed "Mr. Versatility" by Hixon, Willy Workman '13 averaged 10.6 points, 5.5 boards, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game as a sophomore. One of the team's most vocal leaders, the 6'6 swingman shot 38.4 percent from three-point range and 75.4 percent from the line, also seeing an increase in assists and a decrease in turnovers. Workman displayed his versatility in several games last year, including his 20-point, 10-rebound, 5-assist performance against Wesleyan, as well as his outing against Bates in which he had 11 points, eight boards, four blocks and four assists.
Rounding out the returning starters is Pete Kaasila '13, a 6'9 center who Hixon believes could be a double-double player on a regular basis. As a sophomore Kaasila averaged 10.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, also ranking third in the NESCAC in field goal percentage (.606) and sixth in blocks per game (1.18). He averaged 11.5 points in his four games against Middlebury and Williams, which featured two of the best big men in the country. Kaasila scored a season-high 22 points at Emmanuel and had a strong finish to the year, averaging 1.8 blocks in the team's final five games.
Splitting time with Kaasila last year was Jeff Holmes '12, a 6'7 forward who has established himself as one of the NESCAC's best rebounders. Averaging 7.5 points and 5.6 boards in only 16.3 minutes per game for his career, Holmes led the Lord Jeffs in rebounding nine times as a junior, notably averaging 6.8 boards and 10.0 points in his first five games. In back-to-back performances against Johnson & Wales and Wesleyan, he poured in a combined 27 points on 12-of-13 shooting.
Holmes and Kaasila helped Amherst rank second in Division III in rebounding margin last year (+10.0). Hixon believes his big men will benefit from the coaching staff's addition of Kevin Hopkins '08, who played on the Lord Jeffs' 2007 national championship team. "Pete and Jeff are very different, but they're as good as any big men in the league," Hixon says. "There could even be times when we play them together. We're expecting a lot from both of them."
Rounding out an exceptional senior class are 6'6 forwards Connor Johnson '12 and Tim Prowitt '12, who played prominent roles in Amherst's two overtime wins last season. Johnson was 3-for-3 from behind the arc in the second half against Maine Farmington, cutting his team's deficit to six and to four before tying things up at 64-64. "Connor can help us in so many ways because he can play four positions," Hixon says. "When he's playing well, he can do anything."
Willy Workman '13 averaged 10.6 points and 5.5 boards last year.
Prowitt, meanwhile, put in his best performance during Amherst's 92-89 win over Williams, giving the Jeffs their first lead on a three-pointer en route to five first-half points. "Tim hasn't had a lot of minutes, but those minutes have been critical," says Hixon. "We lost two very vocal leaders in Conor Meehan '11 and Kurt Bennett '11, and we need our older guys to fill that gap. All five of our seniors have exceeded expectations in taking on that role. I'm hoping they can all be captains of some sort."
In his first two seasons Allen Williamson '13 developed a reputation as one the most athletic players in the NESCAC. The 6'4 guard averaged 6.6 points per game and shot 56.3 percent from the floor as a sophomore, notably combining for 41 points on 16-of-16 shooting against Trinity and Connecticut College. During a nine-game stretch—which included seven conference games—Williamson averaged 12.8 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 69.7 percent overall and 88.5 percent at the line. "Allen has already displayed the ability to impact games," Hixon says. "We have seen incredible growth, and we hope that continues."
Point guard Aaron Toomey '14 may not technically be a veteran, but he certainly played like one en route to his NESCAC Rookie of the Year selection. He began his collegiate career with the first of his six 20-point performances, which included a 21-point, eight-rebound outing against Williams. For the season he averaged 12.5 points, 3.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals, all while shooting 40.3 percent from beyond the arc. Toomey has incredible range but is also a fearless driver, allowing him to take advantage of his .864 shooting percentage from the free throw line.
Meehan left big shoes to fill at the point, but Toomey has already proven he can put the Jeffs on his back if need be. He led Amherst in scoring eight times and had a combined 34 points on 11-of-11 shooting (5-of-5 on threes) during wins over Trinity and Colby, finishing his rookie season just one point shy of the program record for first-year scoring. "Naturally, expectations are going to be high with Aaron," Hixon says. "Last year he proved he can score when he has to. Now, it's his team to lead as the point guard."
Coach Hixon has several talented guards waiting for a chance to take on a leading role this year. Landrus Lewis '13, David Kalema '14 and Spencer Noon'13 are incredibly quick, aggressive players who will compete for minutes at the point guard position, while newcomer Ray Barry '15 has proven to be ready to play at the collegiate level. Meehan and Toomey often shared the court last season, and Hixon will have a similar option this year with so many guards who can turn Amherst into a running team.
Aaron Toomey '14 was named 2011 NESCAC Rookie of the Year.
Hixon will also be looking to find a role for Connor Gach '14, a 6'3 guard with the accuracy of Barrise and the range of Steven Wheeler '10. Tom Killian '14 was right on the cusp of being a major contributor as a first-year, and this season he could see significant time as a deceptively explosive player who can beat defenders with his quick first step. Roshard Bryant '13, Logan Buckner '14 and Alex Levine '15 will look to provide minutes in the post, while Joseph Mussachia '15 gives the Jeffs another 6'6, left-handed, versatile swingman who knows how to score.
Amherst will begin its season with the Ken Wright '52 Memorial Invitational as usual, but the tournament's first games will actually be played at Elms College. The Jeffs will look to win their 15th consecutive season opener when they take on Plymouth State, with the winner moving on to play either Elms or Washington and Lee in Saturday's championship game in LeFrak Gymnasium. Amherst is 20-0 all-time in the Ken Wright '52 event, having earned all 10 titles in the tournament's history.
The Lord Jeffs posted a 17-0 record at home last year, improving them to 155-14 (.917) since Jan. 1, 2000. They will have to wait before settling into LeFrak, though, as seven of their first nine games will be played on the road. Amherst will open its NESCAC schedule with home games against Wesleyan, Connecticut College and Hamilton, before traveling for its next five conference contests.
Highlighting the schedule as usual is the Middlebury-Williams weekend, which will take place in LeFrak this season. The Lord Jeffs were 0-2 against the Panthers and 1-2 versus the Ephs last year, and they will need to get over those two humps if they want to return to the Final Four. Williams and Middlebury are ranked third and fifth, respectively, in the preseason poll, as both teams lost in the NCAA semifinals last year.

Originally written on The Bay Cave | Last updated 7/10/13
Tampa Bay Rays fans of all ages enjoy seeing and petting the rays at Tropicana Field's touch tank. The tank, which was opened in 2006, has been a fan favorite at the ballpark. But now, after just the second home run ball to land in it, PETA has a problem with it. The organization, who has an issue with anything that has to do with animals taken out of their natural habitat or being "mistreated", is now going after the Rays' organization to remove the rays touch tank from the ballpark. "The problem with touch tanks is that they are pretty much death traps," PETA spokesperson Carrie Poppy told JP Peterson on WDAE. "They trap bacteria, they trap parasites, and so actually out in the wild you're right they face their own predators, generally they are not subjected to all these human diseases and parasites that we bring in when we put them in captivity." That's a fair statement. However, the Florida Aquarium has been overseeing the tank since it's installment. The entire interview (which can be heard below) is rather comical. In seven years, the Rays have not had a problem with the tank. But just because a second home run ball lands in the tank in it's history now it's a problem? While PETA serves for a good cause, they also overstep their own authority and get away with nonsense at times. If the tank wasn't a problem before, then it shouldn't be a problem now. And while they are at it, they should petition to shut down every touch tank in each aquarium and theme park across the world.
