NFCA Announces 2012 NFCA Division II All-American Teams
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Forty-five players from 31 different institutions have been selected to one of three 2012 NFCA Division II All-American teams, the association announced on Wednesday.
Cal State Monterey Bay led the way with four total All-Americans, while Alabama-Huntsville and Valdosta State followed with three. Three schools, Alabama-Huntsville, Cal State Monterey Bay, and Indianapolis, tallied the most first team selections this season with two each. Of the eight teams competing at the Division II National Championship this week in Louisville, Ky., six, Augustana (S.D.), Central Oklahoma, Kutztown, Southern Connecticut State, UC San Diego and Valdosta State, have representation on one of this year's All-American teams.
Two of the three pitchers named to this year's first team will be on display this week in Louisville, as Alanna Hadley of Valdosta State and Samantha Derr of Kutztown both received the honor. Hadley will head into the national tournament with a record of 29-3, a 0.90 ERA and 154 strikeouts, while Derr will enter the competition at 28-3 to go along with 96 strikeouts and the nation's second-lowest ERA at 0.69.
The other pitcher named to this year's first team was Indianapolis' Jennifer DeMotte. DeMotte helped lead the Greyhounds to a regional appearance this season by leading the nation in victories with 35 and posting a .167 opponent's batting average. The second of two Greyhounds making the first team this season was outfielder Casey Williamson. Williamson kicked off her collegiate career with a team-high batting average of .455 to go along with 55 RBIs, 39 walks and 60 runs, all of which were also team-highs.
Central Oklahoma's Nathalie Timmermans and Bloomsburg's Sam Pientack earned the two nods at catcher on this year's first team. Timmermans led the nation this season in home runs per game at 0.46 and runs per game at 1.42, while finishing second in slugging percentage with .947 and third in total home runs with 22. Pientack also head a breakout season for her team, leading the Huskies with a .428 batting average and using 34 extra-base hits, including 20 long balls, to drive in 60 runs.
At second base this season was another two-time first-team All-American, April Jowers of Armstrong. Jowers led the nation in batting average this season at .565 to go along with 50 runs and 28 stolen bases.
Elsamartina Apo of Angelo State was this year's first-team choice at third base. Apo helped lead the Rambelles back to the super regionals by drawing 40 walks, driving in 52 runs and batting a team-high .424.
The first of two Cal State Monterey Bay players to be picked to the first team this season was shortstop Jackie Serna. Serna played in all 60 games for the Otters and tuned in a .414 clip with 65 RBIs, 26 extra base hits and just five errors. The other Otter on the first team was Cori Reinhardt at the utility/pitcher position. Reinhardt led Monterey Bay in both batting average and ERA at .462 and 1.76, respectively. She also notched 104 strikeouts in the circle and drove in 39 runs from the dish.

Temporal Coherence-Based Howling Detection for Speech Applications
This paper proposes a novel howling detection criterion for speech applications, which is based on temporal coherence (will be referred as TCHD). The proposed TCHD criterion is based on the fact that the speech only has a relatively short coherence time, while the coherence times of the true howling components are nearly infinite since the howling components are perfectly correlated with themselves for large delays. The proposed TCHD criterion is computationally efficient for two reasons. First, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) can be applied directly to compute the temporal coherence. Second, the proposed TCHD criterion does not need to identify spectral peaks from the raw periodogram of the microphone signal. Simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed TCHD criterion.

Camp Cougar, Day 1Posted Aug 1st - 8:32pm by Greg Wrubell
PROVO — The opening day of BYU training camp saw starting running back Jamaal Williams unusually relegated to the second-string.
After a two-hour, late-afternoon practice in the scorching heat, Williams explained that the demotion was part of a punishment that will include suspension for the season opener at Connecticut.
Williams acknowledged violation of the school's honor code, and without getting into details, said that a "combination" of events led to the discipline--punishment that head coach Bronco Mendenhall did not intend to announce.
'Camp Cougar' Questions: 15 points to ponderPosted Jul 31st - 6:24am by Greg Wrubell
On the eve of the start of BYU Football's annual August training camp, I've identified 15 questions that could be answered in the coming four weeks.
No particular attempt has been made to strictly prioritize the issues addressed, but the order of the questions is less important than the questions themselves, and their value relative to one another could be debated.
BYU football to play Northern Illinois in 2018 and 2020, announces changes to 2015 schedulePosted Jul 30th - 12:39pm by Jason Shepherd
PROVO — BYU announced a home-and-home football series with Northern Illinois on Wednesday. The Cougars and Huskies will play in Provo on Oct. 27, 2018. BYU will travel to DeKalb, Illinois, on Oct. 24, 2020.
The 2018 matchup at LaVell Edwards Stadium will mark the first-ever meeting between the two football programs.
BYU also announced that Idaho State will play at LaVell Edwards Stadium next season. The Bengals will face the Cougars on Oct. 24, 2015. BYU owns a 5-0 record all-time against ISU.
Greg's 'Cougar Quiz' #15Posted Jul 30th - 7:11am by Greg Wrubell
The long college football offseason comes to an end this week, as BYU players report on Thursday and begin preseason practices on Friday.
We've been helping to pass the time before camp with weekly BYU football trivia quizzes--the last of which is now posted for your brain-teasing pleasure.
So, give it a whirl, and pass it along to your BYU-fan friends and colleagues. If you do well, let us know about it on social media. For the record, "well" can usually be considered anything over 50%. Good luck!
'Cougar Quiz' #14Posted Jul 23rd - 8:00am by Jason Shepherd

Everyone likes to see how they did against their friends, so make sure you share it with everyone you know. Good luck!
Hill adds Walter Camp Award nomination to watch-list tallyPosted Jul 18th - 8:47am by Greg Wrubell
BYU quarterback Taysom Hill has been named a nominee for the Walter Camp Award, given annually to the college player of the year.
Hill is one of 50 nominees for the award, which has never been won by a BYU player. This year's watch list includes 33 offensive and 17 defensive players.
BYU's Williams named to watch list for Doak Walker AwardPosted Jul 17th - 8:38am by Greg Wrubell
BYU running back Jamaal Williams was on Thursday named as one of 53 nominees for the Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the nation's premier running back.
Through his sophomore season, Williams stands 10th on BYU's career rushing yardage list. He ran for 1,233 yards in 2013--the 5th highest single-season total in BYU history. He has recorded eight games with 100-plus rushing yards, while his 219 rushing yards at Nevada last season are fifth-most by a BYU player in a single game.
BYU QB Hill on Davey O'Brien Award watch listPosted Jul 16th - 9:58am by Greg Wrubell
A week after attending the prestigious Manning Passing Academy as a counselor and competitor, BYU quarterback Taysom Hill on Wednesday added another stamp to his expanding preseason portfolio with a nomination for the Davey O'Brien Award.
Given annually to the nation's best quarterback, the Davey O'Brien Award has been won four times by BYU signal-callers, most recently by Ty Detmer, who captured the award in 1991. Detmer also won the honor in 1990; other BYU winners were Jim McMahon in 1981 and Steve Young in 1983. No other school can claim more than BYU's four winners of the Davey O' Brien Award.
Greg's 'Cougar Quiz' #13Posted Jul 15th - 10:37pm by Greg Wrubell
With the start of BYU football training camp just around the corner, the number of weekly 'Cougar Quiz' camp primers is dwindling; this week's trivia test is the third-to-last exercise before the players start popping the pads in Provo.
So here we go with quiz number 13; avoid the temptation to use search windows or other electronic aids, give it your best shot, and be sure to share the quiz with your friends and do a little horn-tooting over a good score!
More watch list honors for BYU's Fua; Kaufusi, Peck also recognizedPosted Jul 14th - 9:54am by Greg Wrubell
The second week of college football preseason-award watch list releases began Monday with nominee rosters unveiled for the Butkus and Rotary Lombardi Awards, and BYU's Alani Fua appeared on both lists.
Fua is one of 51 nominees for the Butkus Award, given to the nation's best linebacker, while Fua is joined by teammates Bronson Kaufusi and Remington Peck on the 123-player watch list for the Rotary Lombardi Award, honoring the nation's best offensive/defensive lineman or close-to-the-line linebacker.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has also offered to meet with Iranian leaders if Iran agrees to suspend its uranium enrichment program. It's a more specific precondition than Obama's, but it is an offer to hold negotiations.
"We would be willing to meet with them but not while they continue to inch toward nuclear weapons under the cover of talks," Rice said Tuesday. "The real question isn't why won't the Bush administration talk to Iran. The real question is why won't Iran talk to us."
There is, of course, one important difference.
Obama is willing to start low-level talks on Iran's nuclear program right away, something the Bush administration has refused to do.
Obama said he would engage in such diplomacy "with no illusions about the Iranian regime."
"I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," he said, repeating himself for emphasis, "everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear, everything."
Echoing the Bush administration, Obama added: "I will always keep the threat of military action on the table to defend our security and our ally, Israel. Do not be confused."

In Illustrator CS5 Web and Interactive Design, Mordy Golding shows how to create pixel-perfect graphics for use in web sites, video compositions, and mobile apps. This course covers a wide range of workflows, from creating online ad campaigns, web sites, icons, to taking art from Illustrator to Flash Professional. Sharing tips, tricks, and creative techniques along the way, Mordy provides insight and instruction for taking projects from initial concept straight through to production. Exercise files accompany the course.
We have discussed the concept of something called paragraph styles inside of Illustrator, which maps somewhat to the way that CSS works. In fact, in this document, we have actually created some of these paragraph styles. We have named them appropriate names that we have used to style the way the text looks in this document. However, there are times where sometimes just a word, or a few words, or even a single character within an overall paragraph is changed. Now in CSS, we sometimes refer to that as a class, and we can use the span tags to show that inside of a code.
Well Illustrator also has something similar called character styles. Basically what a character style allows you to do is overwrite one part of a paragraph, basically allowing you to have certain characters within an overall paragraph that look different than the rest of the paragraph. For example, I am going to zoom in a little bit here on the body copy here, and say I want to have some way to identify some text as being more important. May be I want to make a word bold or stand out a little bit more. For example, right over here, we have Explore California, which is the company name here, and maybe I want to go ahead and make that more prominent, or I want to add some emphasis to it.
So I am going to use a character style to do that. Now remember, there are two ways to define a style inside of Illustrator: I can either create some kind of text, the way that I want it to look on the artboard, and then turn that into a style, or I can just go straight in to the Character panel, define a style, and I might do that if I know what the setting are going to be in advance, and then I can apply the style to my text afterwards. Let's actually try the second way, because we did it the first way when we defined paragraph styles. I am going to come to my Character Styles panel. Notice now I have my default normal character style, but I want to now create a new character style.
May be I want to highlight some text within the paragraph style. So I am going to come over here and define a new character style, and then I am immediately going to double-click on it so I can define some of its settings. Now first of all, I am going to change its name. I am going to call it p, and then I will call it highlight. Next let's click on Basic Character Formats, and really I want to change this to be Arial. Right now, the body copy is using Georgia. So I am going to change this to Arial, and we will make it bold, and really, in fact, that's pretty much what I want to change, but I also want to change some of the color so I will go to where it says Character Color, and instead of black, I am going to go ahead and now choose maybe a red color.
Let's say this color right here, click OK, and now I have defined this character style called p highlight. Now If I want to apply this character style, I would take my Type tool and here, unlike in the paragraph style, where all I had to do which is click my mouse anywhere in the paragraph, the character style obviously applies to specific characters within that overall paragraph, so I need to select all the characters that I want to take on that change. So I am going to highlight the word "Explore California" and then click on p highlight, and notice now that changes to the specifications that I just set.
You can use character styles help you do that, and most importantly it means that any of these types of settings that you apply across an entire web site will always be consistent.

It's incredibly important to recognize that while you are busy, and quite possibly fixated on being a bride and planning your wedding, perhaps your friends and loved ones are planning and getting ready other life changing events, like a double mastectomy or even a birth.
Having the BRCA1 genetic mutation meant my chances of getting breast cancer were above 80 percent over my lifetime. The more that I learned, the less crazy a double mastectomy sounded.

Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez has been chosen to replace the injured Rajon Rondo on the Eastern Conference All-Star team. Commissioner David Stern on Wednesday selected Lopez, who is averaging 18.6 points and 7.3 rebounds for the second-place Nets. Rondo, the Boston Celtics point guard who was voted to start the Feb. 17 game in Houston, has a torn ACL. The East head coach, likely Erik Spoelstra of Miami, will decide who replaces Rondo in the starting lineup.

"This is my second time buying these flats. They run a little narrow at first, but with wear they stretched comfortably and do not require a lot of breaking in. I would recommend these to someone who does a lot of walking."

Classy and comfy (my favorites!)
"These are definitively my favorite black flats. They're classy, comfy and look incredibly good.I have bought 2 pairs so far and will surely buy it again. However, these shoes need a little care when worn (the pair I recently bought has been aging extremely fast despite having worn them less than 10x compared to the 1st pair I had, which I kept for about 8months, while wearing them almost every day). If you get a good pair, you will be able to keep these for an extended time and they will look good until the end. However, out of both pairs I have had, on the front of the shoe, the sole tends to get loose. You will have to glue it back..."

Love them but need serious breaking in...
"I bought these shoes last summer and they are as great looking in person as they are online. I regularly get complimented on them but I have had two problems with them since purchasing:1. While they fit perfectly now, it took weeks to break them in. I used layered band aids and tried socks but still suffered from blisters and the back of my foot now has a callous from them.2. The toes scuffs easily!Needless to say, they are cute enough that I suffered through the pain and am now thinking about just getting cognac shoe polish so I can continue to wear them. Just beware if you're looking for shoes to wear for an extended length of time right off the bat!"

so far so good! But too long!
"I bought these and was so excited after reading the great reviews! They are kind of long on me, but i didnt send them back because I didn't feel like waiting. Maybe ill just get used to it- hoping they dont stretch out a ton. I love that they cover my toes fully- great work flat!"

Charlotte Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist lost a one-on-one basketball game to his boss. That sounds bad, until you realize the greatest basketball player of all time is the Bobcats' majority owner. Michael Jordan turns 50 on Sunday, and he was still able to beat the 19-year-old Gilchrist. "It was hard for me," the No. 2 pick in the 2012 NBA draft told USA Today. "I lost. He's the greatest man that ever played the game." Gilchrist is averaging 9.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game in his rookie season. He participated in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge where he scored eight points and brought down four rebounds.

Lose yourself in it. Forget the science and just enjoy the characters and their reactions. Two of us here read it and we did discuss it afterwords - and a book that both of us (with our divergent tastes) are intrigued to discuss is a good book!
Reread for the Time Travel group, Dec. 2014. My opinions stand. :)
This book is bad. The movie Groundhog Day had a similar premise, but condensed the replay to a twenty-four hour time period. Not only did this let Bill Murray have some very funny scenes where he played with the premise, it also allowed the film to delve into interesting questions like the ability of a man to change fate, not to mention the existential terror of being trapped in a repeating single day forever. Replay is about a guy reliving a huge chunk of his life, choosing various paths each time he gets sent back, and at the end of the day it is completely devoid of any sense of fun or terror. This premise should be entertaining; this book is not. If you want to read about a boring character learning the tired lessons of "maybe material wealth isn't everything" and "be happy with what you have" you can try it, but otherwise skip it, or rewatch Groundhog Day.
If you could do your life all over again, what would you do?
For Jeff Winston, that's not a hypothetical question.
Really solid scifi book.
As we go through this book, I really empathize with Jeff. Grimwood does a fantastic job writing about his emotions and his thought process. I find myself questioning what I would do in this scenario, and I feel like the confusion and attempts to gather information are spot on.
I love how he tries to adapt, but slips so many times. The anachronistic words (condo), the different styles of dance, etc.
The first time, we see intensity to do it right. But then with each repeat, we see more and more despair and confusion of what is going on.
It's interesting because in all of these books, the main characters always have a male and a female lead. But what would have happened if they were both male - or both female? The initial sexuality interest no longer binds them together (assuming they're not gay). There is still that depth and "no one else gets it" that connect them, but it's not "love" anymore. I feel like this would be an interesting idea to explore. Perhaps less interesting because there are consequently less avenues of relationship scenarios to discover, but it would be different.
The ending is perfect. Absolutely perfect.
4.5 stars rounded down. I docked half a star because this is a one-time read sort of book. It's interesting and brings up hypothetical thoughts, but I'm not particularly enraptured by it. Fantastic read though - so a very strong 4.5 stars.
First Impressions:
In some ways Replay reminds me of the Groundhog Day film, where Bill Murray's character relived the same day over and over again. In the book, Jeff relives the last 25 years of his life at a random starting point as a junior in college up to when he gets a heart attack in 1988.
It's an interesting premise and one where we could fantasize what we would do ourselves. Jeff tries to stop the Kennedy assassination and fails, although he gets Lee Harvey Oswald arrested. Kennedy dies anyway. Why? Jeff figures that some large events cannot be changed. I don't agree with that. If a small change can occur then certainly a large one can.
Jeff's theory is further bunked by the middle of the novel where he and another "replayer," Pamela, make startling predictions that all come true up to a point. The US Government under Nixon start listening and soon Carter does not get elected and Reagan is bombing the Middle East! Oops!. Now tell me that's not big.
Jeff at first gets selfish and becomes a multimillionaire. In another replay, he gets married and has a daughter, Gretchen, whom he misses greatly in his next replay. In another, he tries to see if there are other "replayers" out there with dubious results.
As in Bill Murray's adventure in Groundhog Day, Jeff comes to an epiphany of sorts in regards his previous lives and the future that he eventually sees for himself. [Spoiler] The live-die-live-die every minute at the end was quite freaky! [End Spoiler].
Bottom Line:
The book is easy enough to read and you can get through it in a day. The mild sexual descriptions may raise the age to 18 on some scenes. What would you do? Could you relive the last 25 years knowing what you know now? Great story.

Jeff Winston, forty-three, didn't know he was a replayer until he died and woke up twenty-five years younger in his college dorm room; he lived another life. And died again. And lived again and died again -- in a continuous twenty-five-year cycle -- each time starting from scratch at the age of eighteen to reclaim lost loves, remedy past mistakes, or make a fortune in the stock market. A novel of gripping adventure, romance, and fascinating speculation on the nature of time, Replay asks the question: "What if you could live your life over again?"

Jeff Winston has many opportunities to relive his life until he gets it right.

At 5:30 a.m. Monday, a long line of players waited to enter the field house at DeSoto for the first practice, which was scheduled to begin at 6. The temperature reached 105 degrees on the first day of workouts for Class 5A and 4A teams that had spring practice, but DeSoto started early so it could still hold two-a-days but be done by 1 p.m.
"We've done it this way the last two years," coach Claude Mathis said. "It's to beat the heat."
The forecast calls for a high of 105 or hotter every day this week, so Arlington Bowie went harder than usual in the opening session of Monday's two-a-day practices — while the temperature was still in the 80s.
"We usually go our harder practice in the second session," coach Kenny Perry said. "We switched that around."
Also, Bowie will practice only once Wednesday, Friday and Saturday instead of having two-a-days.
In Allen, coach Tom Westerberg's players left the cool confines of the school's indoor facility at 4 p.m. to start practice. As in years past, the team might spend some time inside the athletic complex, but most of the drills and conditioning were planned for outdoors. The games are played outside, so that's where Allen wants to practice.
— Greg Riddle, Matt Wixon
Southlake Carroll
Southlake Carroll coach Hal Wasson was quick to point out one of the reasons Carroll is such a powerhouse. "Competition breeds success," he said.
If that's the case, then Carroll should have a great deal of success with its running game. There looks to be a good battle brewing for the starting job, between senior Zach Thomason and sophomore A.J. Ezzard.
Thomason got banged up in the spring, and — as Wasson put it — Ezzard saw "a crack in the door." Ezzard had a great spring practice and game, and he got carries with the first team in Carroll's second practice.
— Corbett Smith
Arlington Bowie
Arlington Bowie went 7-4 and lost in the first round of the playoffs last season. But coach Kenny Perry thinks his team can contend for a state championship.
"We've got good kids, athletic kids," Perry said. "We've got a great coaching staff. We've got a chance to win it all."
Bowie quarterback Kolby Listenbee has committed to TCU, and running back Russell Hansbrough has committed to Arizona State. Defensive linemen Jessie Rogers and Demonte Hood both have offers from schools in the Big 12, SEC and Pac-12.
— Greg Riddle
Cedar Hill
Cedar Hill has its new starting quarterback. But he won't be the only one.
Senior Andre Anderson will be the starter, coach Joey McGuire said, but junior Damion Hobbs will also get playing time. Anderson (5-11, 191) was Cedar Hill's second-leading receiver last season, and Hobbs (6-2, 190) started for the junior varsity team that finished 8-2.
"We're going to play both of them at quarterback and both of them at receiver," McGuire said. "They're too good as athletes to not have them out there."
The last three years, Cedar Hill counted on Driphus Jackson at quarterback. He signed with Rice, along with leading receiver Lovett Gibson.
— Matt Wixon
Euless Trinity
Last season, when Euless Trinity needed a big play offensively, coach Steve Lineweaver, almost invariably looked to one player, WR/DB/QB Brandon Carter. Carter — who spurned Oklahoma's advances to sign with TCU — was one of the state's most explosive playmakers, able to turn a broken play into yardage with enough jukes and jives that it looked as though it was dreamed up on a PlayStation 3.
"Forty-three years, never had one like him," Lineweaver said. "I mean, it was ridiculous the stuff he could do."
Carter rushed for 1,239 yards and 14 scores, averaging 11.6 yards per carry. He was also the team's leading passer (738 yards, six TDs) and receiver (394 yards, four TDs).
So, how does Lineweaver begin to replace someone so valuable?
"We are going to have to hit those passes on rollouts, and we aren't going to be able to dial up the reverse pass when we need to," Lineweaver said. "That became a staple for us last year."
Lahi Kautai, a senior who began last season in the starting QB role, will have the reins of the offense this year. Kautai — who threw for 666 yards on 55 percent passing, with four scores and four interceptions — looked good Monday morning, connecting with accuracy in passing drills and rollouts.
— Corbett Smith
Plano's fall practice opened without many starting spots up for grabs, and that includes the quarterback spot, which Richard Lagow claimed in the spring. Lagow attempted only two passes last season, but the 6-5, 200-pound junior is already attracting attention from college recruiters.
Coach Jaydon McCullough is happy that he's determined the replacement for two-year starter Connor Michelsen. Two years ago, fall practice began with Michelsen and Murat Kuzu battling for the job, and they split time at the position early in the season. "I don't ever want to go through that again," McCullough said.
— Matt Wixon
Last year, Skyline had five sophomores play significant roles on offense. As one would expect, the inexperience led to growing pains. Skyline started the season 0-2, scoring three points in those games.
"It's just like anything else after you've had a year experience and you've had some ups and downs," coach Reginald Samples said. "It makes you better."
Skyline went on to win its next nine games before losing in the second round of the playoffs to DeSoto. DeVante Kincade, a junior, is back as quarterback. Two of his top wide receivers return in Rashard Samples and Thomas Johnson (committed to Texas), who missed part of last year because of injury.
"This year, everybody knows we aren't young anymore," Kincade said. "So we're coming to let everybody know we are here."
— Mark Dent
With a state title in 2008 and five straight seasons with at least 10 wins, expectations are always high for Allen. But those expectations, at least those of fans and the media, might be even higher this season.
That's because Allen, which normally doesn't return many starters because its senior classes are so large and talented, has 14 back this season. That's from a team that finished 10-2 last year and nearly derailed Euless Trinity's return to the state title game.
"The expectations aren't any higher for the kids," coach Tom Westerberg said before the first practice, "but the target that's on their back may be bigger."
— Matt Wixon
Highland Park
Going into 2010, Brady Burgin, Dalton Stogner and William Morris had combined for 107 offensive varsity yards. By the end of it, they were among the offense's leaders.
Burgin threw for 1,982 yards and 16 touchdowns. Stogner and Morris combined for 1,973 receiving yards. As afternoon practice began in Highland Park's indoor facility, the three seniors were taking part in rapid-fire offensive drills.
Coach Randy Allen knows his offense, with "61/2" starters returning, can be good. It has offensive line depth. And it has Burgin, Stogner and Morris. "The years we've had experience returning at those positions," Allen said, "we're pretty good."
— Mark Dent
Raheem Wilson led DeSoto to the Fox Sports Southwest 7-on-7 state title this summer, but coach Claude Mathis said Wilson will battle Dezmond White for the starting quarterback job.
"It's a very open competition," said Mathis, whose team lost 4,000-yard passer Ryan Polite.
— Greg Riddle
Arlington Martin
Arlington Martin lost running back Danzel Williams, who ran for 1,659 yards and 30 touchdowns last season before moving on to the University of Oklahoma. But Martin coach Bob Wager is looking for big things from junior Kyle Hicks, who will play running back after being the District 4-5A defensive newcomer of the year last season as a defensive back.
Hicks played running back as a freshman before moving to the secondary. Another player Martin will use at running back is Cameron Williams, Danzel Williams' little brother.
— Greg Riddle

Stephens: Things like create an internship in whatever field you want to pursue. Also things like traveling around the world and learning foreign languages, attending conferences, becoming a mentor…or taking college classes and learning how to write. They're skills that will allow students to function successfully in the real world where they will hopefully be learning these skills as well.
ABC News: So, what's the difference between an internship in your field of choice and the UnCollege experience?
Stephens: UnCollege is a holistic life philosophy about learning from life, not a singular experience. A singular experience, be an internship, a class, a trip, or a volunteer position, would all collectively constitute the UnCollege experience.
ABC News: How far along are you in the process of finishing the structure of the curriculum?
Stephens: I just published the UnCollege manifesto, 'Your Guide to Academic Deviance.' This report is about 30 pages long and contains some of the first part of the curriculum. I'm also in talks with an educational design studio in New York City, called DerringDoDesign, about collaborating to create an online platform to support UnCollege. I'm also writing a book proposal to get the curriculum published. Nothing is decided yet, but I have meetings in New York with some publishers and agents.
ABC News: How far along are you with the book deal?
Stephens: It's nothing that I can share quite yet, unfortunately. I can tell you that we are building a platform that will disrupt higher education, enabling people to live happy, productive lives without following a traditional path through college.
ABC News: But don't you think college is something people should at least try?
Stephens: For somebody who has followed the path of traditional education for all of their lives, I would advocate going out into the real world over pursuing a traditional college experience. I would hope that someone who has never been in a traditional learning environment would at least try taking a college class or two. I think that there are valuable things to learn.
ABC News: What does college have to offer then?
Stephens: I think the biggest value of college is the sense of community. While it's easiest to find that community within the university setting, what UnCollege does is help an individual create that academic community in the real world.
ABC News: Do you think there are some things in the classroom that you can't learn in the real world and can't re-create online?
Stephens: Yes. Things like how to operate in a classroom environment.

approach described in the previous section and the omission of other important factors, most important being the statistical variation of stream discharge. Insufficient data were provided in the in-stream resource assessment group's final report to reproduce the calculations of recovery factor for the stated example conditions. As noted earlier, Hagerman and Polagye (2006) assert that the distribution of velocities must be used for the power density estimation rather than the mean values, because the cube of the mean current velocity is not the same as the mean of the cubed current velocity. The committee encourages future efforts in in-stream resource assessment to estimate the distribution of technically recoverable resource across the range of flows at all locations. This is particularly important as rivers and streams exhibit large annual and interannual variation in flow. Future work could focus on developing an estimate of channel shape for each stream segment and then, using the flow statistics for each segment along with an assumed array deployment, directly calculating the technically recoverable resource based on equation 3 (above) over the range of expected flows.
Given the lack of existing deployments of in-stream hydrokinetic arrays as well as the proprietary nature of this industry, little or no field or laboratory data exist to validate the assessment group's methodology. However, a number of checks could be completed with respect to the reasonableness of the approaches. For example, although considerable effort was expended to develop a methodology to estimate back effects using a modified Manning's resistance coefficient to account for the resistance that a turbine array will impart on flowing water, limited information is reported with respect to evaluation of the practicality and reasonableness of applying this methodology at various stream conditions. A two- or three-dimensional computational model would be more appropriate to assess the flow resistance effects of the turbine on the flow. The validation effort would also have been stronger if it had focused on questions regarding RF, such as the group's assertion that slope contributes little to RF. A more thorough assessment of both modified Manning's coefficient and RF will be necessary to ascertain the validity of these approaches.
Estimate of In-Stream Power Potential
Overall, the in-stream resource assessment group estimates the theoretical resource to be 1,433 TWh/yr and the technically recoverable in-stream resource to be 101.2 TWh/yr. The technical resource is largest

Scoliosis and pregnancy
I have scoliosis and I have expressed my concerns about being pregnant and having scoliosis to my doctor. She said that most of her mothers with scoliosis have had c-sections however she hasn't discussed having a c-section with me and the plans are to deliver vaginally for me. Should I be more concerned about my back or should I let the doctor do her job. I'm 37 weeks today and I have a S-curve.

You should be fine. I also have an S-curve (I had surgery to correct it 15 years ago). My OBGYN has discussed both with me (I'm 27 weeks), and the only problem she said that I may have is when it comes to pushing, and that it may be harder for me to do because it's hard to do a sit-up. They may give you oxygen too because your lungs will be more compressed because of the curvature and because of the baby pressing on them. I don't see it as a big deal. I think you'll be fine though! Good luck!posted 12/12/2007 by deatons
My sister and I both have S curve scoliosis and are pregnant. She had corrective surgery about 9 years ago (2 titanium rods soddered to each side of her spine), and she is 5 months pregnant. They began talking about doing a C-section with her from the beginning, since delivery is really the only major concern with pregnancy and scoliosis. Her doctor feel it is too risky to put her back through that kind of pressure during delivery. Since I have never had mine corrected and am only 8 weeks, I'm not sure what kind of pain is involved, but my doctor assured me that delivery really is the only concern. Since back pain is already a norm with scoliosis, I am expecting the same or worse throughout this pregnancy. Position for pushing, perhaps a tricky epidural, and limited lung capacity will be what my doctor said she will be watching for during delivery.posted 04/08/2011 by kmurray11
I am 28 years old and I have an S curve, and had corrective surgery 15 years ago with two harrington rods. The rods are not stable, and due to the hardware in my back my doctor was concerned about an epidural. If the delivery did not go well and I would need an emergency c-section, an epidural or spinal block could be incredibly risky for introducing infection. We opted to have a planned c section to reduce the risks of emergency surgery and to have a controlled environment to keep everything sterile. The only additional risk or potential problem is because of the scoliosis, a spinal block may not be 100% effective, and general anesthesia would be necessary. My son is almost 6 months old now, and we are all doing great. Now the regular back pain of carrying a baby is a problem. Otherwise, the planned c section was amazing. In and out in 17 minutes, and I got to see my Son as soon as he came out, and he was held by my head while I was sewn back up. Couldnt be happier!!!!posted 12/02/2013 by tracbabe77
I ALSO HAVE A S-CURVE AND WERE ABLE TO DELIVER 2 CHILDREN VAGINALLY. I'M NOW PREGNANT WITH MY 3RD (AND FINAL) CHILD AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE SAME. I HAD AN EPIDURAL WITH ALL OF MY KIDS. THE FIRST CHILD IT WORKED WONDERFULLY. THE SECOND CHILD, NOT SO MUCH. MIGHT AS WELL SAY I DELIVERED HIM NATURALLY. I HOPE AND PRAY IT WORKS WITH THIS BABY. THE ONLY THING THAT I'VE FOUND IS THAT EACH PREGNANCY BRINGS THE BACK PAINS ON EARLIER THAN THE LAST.posted 06/13/2012 by Shazun12
Hi. I have the same concerns. I am only four weeks pregz. I have never had corrective surgery and my back has a fifty nine degree curve. When I saw the chiropractor a few years ago he mentioned that I might not be able to carry full term due to the pressure that'll be on my back. Reading your posts gives me great comfort though, knowing that there is others who concurred.posted 04/24/2015 by Rumande
I have thoraculmbar scoliosis and have birthed 3 beautiful and healthy babies with no issues during but some discomfort afterwards. I was never offered a c-section and had no pain relief through out any of my birth, so I think you'll be fine but express your concern to either doctor or midwife Hun! Hope that helps you and congratulations on your soon-to-be bundle of joy.posted 03/23/2015 by lucciaswift2012
i think you should let her know about your spineposted 10/01/2014 by karynmitchellpr
I am 24 years old and had my two babies vaginally with no epidural because they were unable to even attempt with all the scar tissue from three surgeries trying to fuse the rod back to my spine. The bottom part had since been removed making it easier to bend in labor. Make sure to talk to your doctor about labor mine said I would be fine, but I had no idea what to except. My best advice if you cannot have pain medicine is a dark room with soothing music and no visitors it made a huge difference and cut my 2nd labor in halfposted 05/06/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I am in my third pregnancy now, and also have an S-curve with roughly 42 degree curve - never had surgery. I had a vaginal delivery with both of my previous two pregnancies and did not have any problems other than a hard time getting an epidural with the first one (I wanted to try naturally, and waited until I was in pretty significant pain to ask fo the epidural...the anesthesiologist was really nervous about my curve and never got the needle inserted before it was time to push). I got the epidural early with my next pregnancy and had NO problems.posted 01/06/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm 20 years old and 17 weeks pregnant, my pain management doctor (who I saw for back pain since I was15) diagnosed me with mild scoliosis a year ago by MRI (I have a slight curve to the right) nothing was done about it but now that im pregnant the pain in my spine has gotten worse and my mother can feel my curve has gotten worse... I have recently moved and the only doctor I have in my new town is my obgyn. What kind of doctor do you see for scoliosis? I've seen a lot of mention of surgery is that common? Is their any treatment I can do while I'm pregnant? What problems can scoliosis bring during pregnancy? I will be asking my obgyn these question but ANY answer or advice will be greatly appreciated!posted 10/16/2013 by cateybabe

A leading African-American entrepreneur exposes that things have changed for entrepreneurship in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11th. The tragedy is hurting large companies (on whose boards he sits), which in turn is having a ripple effect on the smallest entrepreneurial shop, he writes.
Operating under a mandate to prepare for the worst in order to achieve the best, the author, an African-American woman entrepreneur in the male-dominated metals industry, writes that preparation has been critical to facing the challenges presented by the economic difficulties and post-terrorist environment of this difficult year 2001.
The decision to terminate an employee can be both emotional and frustrating. If not handled properly, it can also result in expensive litigation. These days, wrongful termination lawsuits are not idle threats. According to a recent study conducted by Jury Verdict Research, recently fired executives who sued are winning often and winning big.
With the nation's ethics deteriorating in the wake of widespread corporate scandal, entrepreneurs need to examine questionable practices in their own milieu, such as inflating expectations to attract funding, writes the author. Included is a look at the unlikely course this former high-tech company founder has taken in order to adhere to principles.
Doing business ethically in third world countries involves providing instruction about U.S. business standards in cultures whose business fundamentals are vastly different, writes the author. Another imperative concerns the wisdom of respecting cultural differences without crossing the line to engage in practices considered inappropriate or immoral in the West.
Compensating contract workers involves negotiating a rate that reflects skills and experience, paying in a timely manner, and possibly offering perks such as professional development, says the founder of a company that develops training manuals. A key is not to treat 1099 workers as employees, the author advises.
Resource Abstract
Small business owners must become literate about their company's books without becoming accountants in order to deal with CPAs, keep on top of operations, and prevent fraud, says the co-founder of an accounting services firm.
Hiring the disabled allows entrepreneurs greater productivity, lower labor costs, and lucrative tax benefits, in addition to engendering goodwill, says a company founder who employs brain-injured workers.

Ok, so as many are aware I own a beautiful quarter horse Smarty. She's beautiful but very spooky when I ride her so I'm buying a more secure saddle in the next week or two and going to start riding her in my riding vest and riding her threw it.
Ok, so next, I got a new job, which means more hours, more money and I actually finish 2,3 or 4 pm at the latest in the afternoon which means I have time to go out to the horse.
Ok, so heres my problem. My old riding instructor got in contact with me telling me that the owner of a horse named Blacki, was trying to find my number to let me know he is for sale.
Before I had my spine operation Blacki and I were two peas in a pod. I never felt so safe on any horse, we used to go cantering around like hoons, having fun, jumping though he couldn't jump he kinda just stood on the jumps and broke them! He was so amazing I'd offered his owner a million times to buy him off her but she didnt want to part with him though she leased him to the riding club where I rode because she had a family and didn't have time to ride him. And after my operation I wasn't supposed to ride for 9 months, but at about 6 months my instructor let me on Blacki and he looked after me, didn't put a foot wrong. Then the club changed owners and blacki was sent home and I left the club. I got in contact with her and said if you ever do consider selling him please ring me and a year later she has.
Now I am in the position where I could have another horse.
I am in the position to be able to feed both horses, I have all the gear except a bridle.
The owner has offered me a free lease where he stays at mine and we see how it goes and if its just like old times and I feel like its a good move then I have the option to buy him.
Now she wants 1000 for him. He's turning 20 next year, is a standardbred, about 15'3 If I remember correctly, I don't know when he was ridden last but he was a very calm horse so im thinking if I did do a lease I'd lunge him for a week saddles, and gradually get to where I start riding him in the round yard.
Now because of work I feel two horses will be ok, I live 5 minutes from them. But I need more opinions to be honest, im weighing the pros and cons. I was thinking go with the trial and see how it goes for a month and two but what do you guys think? Do you also think 1000 for a 19 year old stb is too much, I know he wont have too many more years but I am able to cope with his aging. I've got so many thoughts, pros and cons, please give your opinions.

Industrial wind, take threeMarch 07,2013
The only thing one can say for sure about the Vermont Legislature is: nothing is for sure. The continuing saga over industrial-strength wind electric generation is the perfect example.
How did we get to become so obsessed about developing an electric generating facility that blasts away the tops of iconic mountains, attacks heretofore protected wildlife, imposes known health risks on people living too close, fails to generate enough power to meet predictions, makes us pay far more for power than we have to, makes us give up the right to locally govern ourselves, has a limited working life span of about 20 years, and yet leaves us with concrete pyramids for unknown millennia? Seriously whose nightmare is this?
We are all concerned about climate change, that is a given. But a group of us decided not to be deluded with visions of grandeur about Vermonts single-handed ability to reverse climate change using this particular nightmare as our tool. We got disgusted enough to challenge prevailing winds (pun intended) to introduce Senate bill 30, the so-called industrial wind moratorium. It quickly became a flashpoint that exposed the silliness of politics.
Aghast over the word moratorium, a host of environmental groups lined up with author Bill McKibben and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders to oppose the bill. Gripping fiercely to the concept that Vermont should lead the world on addressing climate change, they failed to pause long enough to either read or understand the bill. Blogs and public opinion polls followed suit.
Opponents, frightened by that scary word moratorium, pulled the covers up over their heads and trembled with fear in the belief Vermont was suddenly on the road to disaster. It would be comical, if it werent so sad.
Ever so slowly, the winds of public opinion are changing. Folks are beginning to realize the bill is actually attempting to uphold time-honored Vermont traditions. Its about empowering towns and regions to maintain control over rampant development, not about stopping our movement toward renewable energy. Vermonters know they have a right to drive their own states energy policy. In their hearts they understand that policy should not be driven by greedy, mostly out-of-state corporate developers.
The purpose of the misunderstood moratorium was simply to gain enough time to create needed legislation. We needed to set up parameters for renewable development, strengthen the ability of towns and regions to participate in the process, study the true economic and environmental impact of various renewable tools (including industrial wind), and coordinate renewable tools with our desired energy portfolio and available infrastructure. Interestingly, the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee has now had enough time to make S.30 into a vehicle to do just that. A moratorium is no longer necessary as long as the bill becomes law.
But now we face a critical challenge. Please contact your legislators. Tell them we have fought long and hard to protect our environment and our right to govern ourselves. Tell them this bill is no ruse to thwart efforts against climate change. Tell them S.30 needs their support. Otherwise, nothing is for sure.
Sen. Joe Benning, R-Caledonia, is the Senate minority leader and a co-sponsor of S.30.MORE IN CommentaryIf you had told me a while back that I'd someday dread, dodge and elect not to return phone...

30 year old man | Brooklyn, NY, USA | Seeking women 24-34 within 25 miles
Bert Macklin, FBI
So how do I go about breaking down who I am? I am incredibly easy-going. My theory is that you can't plan for everything so take it one day at a time. I'm fluent in sarcasm so if you can banter with me, we're off on the right foot. I live and breathe music. I have been a drummer since I was a little kid and carried it into college where I studied music. I work in the music industry and consider myself exceptionally lucky to do what I love. I love to travel and have visited some amazing places from Iceland to Amsterdam. Snowboarding is where I feel at home. Heading to watch a baseball game is high on my list. Though I'm a Phillies fan so you'll have to put up with me. You'll catch me wandering around the city or riding my bike across the Brooklyn Bridge most weekends. Though watching a marathon of The League or It's Always Sunny would also be ok. Nothing is more exciting to me than being spontaneous. I love to explore and am always open to new experiences and places. My idea of fun would be to just spin a globe and be on the next flight to wherever my finger landed on. If you're into that sort of thing. I'm looking for a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. I want to spend time with someone who is passionate about what she likes and willing to share those things with me. If a girl can kick back with a beer, flash me a killer smile, and throw out a quote from Anchorman- then I'm done for.

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri called on his team to show more passion in tomorrow's UEFA Champions League clash against Real Madrid than they did two weeks ago.
Milan were outplayed at the Bernabeu in a 2-0 defeat that the Italians' vice-president Adriano Galliani admitted later he had feared could end in a royal thumping. Allegri accused his players of playing as if it was a friendly and now he is calling on them to show the fight that was missing in Madrid.
"Over there we made many mistakes in the first 15 minutes and conceded two soft goals but then we created some chances," he said at today's press conference.
"In the second half until 20 minutes from the end we played really well. When we play these types of games you can't afford to play badly technically but in Madrid we did. This time we must play with more passion."
Galliani said after that game there was a moment he feared they would lose five or six nil and Allegri admitted too that it was a possibility.
"In the away game, especially at the end of the first half when they had a couple of counters and at the beginning of the second half, this could have happened," he said. "But tomorrow's game will be completely different and in our favour, although we still need to be careful because their attack is very good."
Milan and Ajax trail leaders Real by five points in Group G and play each other in the final game. If Real were to continue their 100 per cent record, Milan could fall three points behind Ajax, should the Dutch side also beat Auxerre, meaning the pressure would be on the Italians with just two games to go. But Allegri is not treating this game with any extra importance.
"Tomorrow's game will be fascinating, it's important for the standings, but I think the last game against Ajax will be the most important," he said.
Quite apart from playing with passion, Milan also know that they need to improve their record in front of goal. Although they have generally created many chances in their games, they've had difficulties converting those, such as on Saturday when they lost 2-1 at home to Juventus despite largely dominating.
"We played very well, if it wasn't our best performance then it was one of them. But we didn't get the result," said Allegri. "We created a lot, while of all the teams that have come to the San Siro, Juve were the ones who created the fewest chances.
"Without taking anything away from Juve, football doesn't always tell the whole story, we played well but sometimes you have four shots and score three goals yet on Saturday we had 23 shots and only scored one. The thing that keeps me calm is that we're creating chances.
"We also created many chances at Napoli [a 2-1 success] but we need to be more aggressive in finishing off games because at the end you can concede a goal."
Although Real coach Jose Mourinho has developed a reputation for being a defensive coach, Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who played under the Portuguese at Inter Milan two seasons ago, insists tomorrow's game will be full of attacking play.
"It will be an open game, anything can happen, there are two great teams with great players," he said. "We both want to win but elegantly, not just simply. The important thing is to stay compact. We're not a team who scores one and then defends, we attack and try to score more and that's also Mourinho and Real's mentality. These two teams wont go for a 1-0 or 0-0, we'll try to win but with intelligence."
As for his personal duel with Real's Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic doesn't think it will be especially decisive. "He's doing great, he's in great form, he went to Spain [last year] and did well in his first year and in his second he's doing even better," he added. "But I don't think it's a duel between him and me, it's between Milan and Real."

Each year, they review communities throughout the United States and recognize those who actively help fulfill the mission of the foundation.
The city received notification that the foundation once again named Dowagiac
as a Tree City USA community. The city recognizes the importance of trees and is pleased to receive this recognition by the Arbor Day Foundation.
3% fee increase recommended
It has been three years since fees for permits have been adjusted in the City of Dowagiac. Prior to that time it had been the practice to annually review and adjust fees based on the cost of providing services. Fees for permits in the City are lower than the surrounding townships. A recommendation for a 3-percent increase will come before the council soon.
CAUA water system
The new water system serving Donnell Lake and Diamond Lake has seen steady growth of new customers.
When the City of Dowagiac first became responsible for management of
the system there were 183 meters billed. Last month 233 customers were billed and indications are that as many as 300 more meters could be added over the next two to three years, according to City Manager Kevin Anderson.
"We are also working with the engineer to see if a remote meter reading system can be installed as part of the current construction project," Anderson said. "If feasible, this system would allow for the meters to transmit a signal to city offices which would reduce the need to send service personnel to read meters each month or when final billings occur.
M-51 pathway
In January it was reported that air quality grants (CMAQ) were available for Cass County for sidewalk and bike paths along federal urban street corridors for projects planned for 2013 and 2014. The city applied for Hill Street sidewalks and Middle Crossing Road bike path during this process. Dowagiac also agreed to work with Pokagan Township to place sidewalks on M-51 from M-62 to Pokagon Street if funds became available or one of those two projects was not approved.
"We recently were made aware of last-minute funds that would be made available for 2012 projects," City Manager Kevin Anderson said. "Since we had the understanding with Pokagon Township, we have put together a plan and grant application that was submitted for 80 percent funding of a walking pathway on M-51.
