Softball Stifled in Myrtle Beach During Day One

Myrtle Beach, SC - Hilbert opened their 2011 softball season up at the Fastpitch Dreams tournament with a rare triple-header game schedule. It's hard to determine if it was the back to back to back start times (9:30am, 11:30am and 2pm) which contributed to the team's final outcome or if the Hawks just weren't "outdoor" ready yet. Morrisville took the first game (8-0) and Baptist Bible grabbed the second victory (9-0) before Pikeville College stole the final game (5-1) from the Hawks.
In both early morning games, Morrisville and Baptist Bible jumped out to leads the Hawks couldn't recover from and captured both games after 5 innings. Hilbert's Hasley Baker (Scio, NY/Scio) hit a long ball home run against Pikeville preventing the third shutout for the day.
March 15th brings a new day of softball for the Hawks. They will rebound tonight and get ready to play Keystone (9:30am) and Becker (11:30am) tomorrow morning before they enjoy their first afternoon off and recover from five games in two days.

Did you know?
"George Washington Carver reputedly discovered three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. Among the listed items that he suggested to southern farmers to help them economically were adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes (a biofuel), ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain. Three patents (one for cosmetics, and two for paints and stains) were issued to George Washington Carver in the years 1925 to 1927; however, they were not commercially successful in the end. Aside from these patents and some recipes for food, he left no formulae or procedures for making his products."

Staff Writer
CHARLESTON — Mingo County Sheriff's Deputy Max Jeremy Mounts is officially back to work in his professional capacity and was awarded back pay for the seven months he was out of uniform due to a legal proceeding between himself and the former sheriff, Lonnie Hannah, that was eventually heard before the West Virginia Supreme Court and the Civil Service Commission.
Mounts was first employed as a deputy sheriff in Mingo County in February of 2009. In November of 2010, he resigned from his position to accept another job but within a 48 hour period decided to continue working as a deputy, and contacted Chief Field Deputy James Smith to discuss the matter. Mounts stated that Smith did not have a problem with him withdrawing his resignation and advised him to speak with Hannah. The deputy traveled to his boss's residence to speak with him and was told to come into the office on Monday morning. Upon his arrival, Mounts was told by the former sheriff that he had decided to accept the resignation and that the deputy needed to leave the office, that he was no longer employed.
"He asked me if the shirt I was wearing was purchased by me or if the department paid for it," remarked Mounts. "Thankfully it was one I had bought or I guess I would have been walking out of the office shirtless."
Mounts went directly to the Mingo County Commission (MCC) office to inform them of the situation since deputies are joint employees of the two agencies. He was ordered back to work by the commission but was once again, told to leave the sheriff's office by Hannah. A hearing was then scheduled before the Civil Service Commission who claimed to not have the authority to reinstate the deputy, saying that all they do is supply a hiring roster with the names of qualifying applicants, and stated that Mounts' name would be entered for consideration for hire. At this time, the deputy retained C. Christopher Younger as his attorney, and the legal battles began.
"I can't say enough about Chris," stated Mounts. "He fought hard for me and went above and beyond what he had to do to make sure justice was done and I could continue working in the job that I love."
Approximately 7 months after Mounts lost his job, Circuit Court Judge Robert Chafin heard the case and ruled that the sheriff was wrong in his decision to not reinstate the deputy, and ordered that he be allowed to return to work. Hannah appealed the case to the WV Supreme Court, but Mounts was allowed to return to work pending the outcome. The case wasn't ruled on until November of 2012, and released findings that Mounts would continue working as a deputy until the Civil Service Board heard the case once again, which was scheduled for Jan 10th of this year. At this hearing, the Civil Service Board allowed Judge Chafin's ruling to stand that stated the resignation was void and was not handled properly, and awarded Mounts back-pay for the 7 months he was away from his position, along with seniority for that time period.
"This has been a very difficult and stressful time for me," said Mounts. "It was definitely a load off of my back to get this behind me. Honestly, the last two years really took a toll on me. I was worried about paying my bills and meeting financial obligations, it's hard to have a salary that provides a decent living one minute and then gone the next."
Mounts stated that he was blessed to have a good support system around him during this time, and commented how difficult he knows the situation was on his parents, especially his mother.
"She's a mom, pure and simple. That explains it all. When your child is hurting or has been treated unfairly, it doesn't matter how old they are – it's very upsetting to a mother."
Mounts commented on the changes that have taken place within the sheriff's department since Jan 1, and says that he is very pleased with how things are now being done.
"I'm proud that we've got a sheriff in office that we can all work for, and it's fantastic to have a person take the position that is actually a certified police officer," remarked Mounts. "This is the first time in the history of Mingo County that a certified officer has been voted into office."
"I'm happy to have Sheriff Eugene Crum as our leader. We've got a great group of guys in our department that are tickled to death to be able to get back to doing what we were hired to do – and that's serving the residents of Mingo County to the best of our ability."
"I'm honored to be a deputy with the Mingo County Sheriff's Department."

T-Mobile Gets In The N-Gage Game
T-Mobile is ramping up to unleash Nokia's N-Gage mobile game deck to U.S. buyers. The
wireless service provider will entice users with a free 30-day trial.
In addition to the trial, the deal includes $50 worth of free voice and text messaging. After the trial period expires, gamers can sign an annual contract for a T-Mobile voice plan and, through 2004, get access to unlimited N-Gage wireless gaming services for an additional $9.99 a month.
The N-Gage features a digital music player, stereo FM radio and tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 mobile phone. The device will retail for $299 USD.
Besides being the first to provide the multiplayer gaming service in the United States, T- Mobile will be the exclusive provider of the game decks at Target, Electronics Boutique, Game Stop and Circuit City.
Independent Research Group remains bullish on Nokia's N-Gage device, which is set to make its debut next month. "Nokia forecasts unit sales of 6 million over the next two years, a small number in terms of total sales, but a good barometer of the company's ability to grow outside its core market," analyst Erik Zamkoff said.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU freshman Jacobsen off to solid start
Arizona State freshman Eric Jacobsen has gotten off to a pretty solid start in his first season in Tempe.
A 6-foot-10 forward, Jacobsen is averaging 4.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 12 minutes of action per game.
The Hamilton High School product grabbed nine rebounds against Sacramento State and scored 16 points against Hartford a few days later, showing glimpses of the potential that has head coach Herb Sendek excited for the player's future even while his present has been pretty good.
"Usually you're just not as far along as somebody who's 21 or 22 years old, especially if you're a frontcourt player," Sendek told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday. "There's still a pretty good learning curve in terms of the level of detail that now goes into each and every game."
Sendek likened Jacobsen to former ASU star Jeff Pendergraph, who entered college quite a bit smaller than he needed to be to compete at a high level.
"Eric comes in and he already has a solid base," Sendek said. "That's one real fundamental difference, is just being physically ready to play, which he is."

Greek cooking classes offered Oct. 1, 8Written by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
The smell of cheese tiropites filled the air of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Sept. 24. It was part of the "Make & Take" cooking classes for authentic Greek cuisine.
Two more classes remain in the series: Oct. 1, where spanakopita will be made, and Oct. 8, where baklava will be made. Both of the remaining classes will be 6-8 p.m. at Holy Trinity's Community Center, 740 Superior St., and taught by Andy and Maria Petros.
The classes provide hands-on instruction and are taught by community food experts. All ingredients will be provided and attendees will take their dishes home.
The Oct. 1 class costs $45 and the Oct. 8 class is $50. The classes are open to the public and money will be taken at the class.
"Cooking and cooking classes have become very popular in the United States," said Irene Kaufman, originator of the class series. "We have a Greek Festival every year … and it's just packed with people who love Greek food.
"The Mediterranean diet has become enormously popular because the Greeks for years have only eaten very healthy foods," Kaufman said. "When you eat good food, rather than something out of a frozen box, No. 1, you're healthier and No. 2, you're going to feel better and No. 3, you're possibly going to live longer."
The nationally-recognized cookbook "Olives, Feta, Phyllo & More!" will be available at the classes. The book was created as a fundraiser five years ago.
"We have so many chefs and cooks … that we decided to incorporate all of their recipes in a cookbook," said Kaufman, who compiled the book. "We asked everyone in our community, 'Please submit recipes for the book.' It was a long process to collect the recipes, proofread the recipes [and] then assemble them in the book."
For more information, visit holytrinitytoledo.com, click on "Cookbook" and scroll to "Greek Cooking Classes" or call (419) 243-9189.

COLUMBIA (AP) — Columbia fire officials are reminding people to be safe as they prepare their Thanksgiving meals.
Columbia Fire Chief Aubrey Jenkins said Thanksgiving is the leading day for cooking fires in the U.S., with an average of 155,000 cooking fires occurring each year.
National officials said cooking equipment fires are still the leading cause of U.S. home fires and fire injuries and the third leading cause of fire deaths.
If you're planning to cook during the Thanksgiving holiday, Jenkins said never to leave food frying, grilling or broiling. And if a fire does occur, close the door, get out and call 911.
If you fry your Thanksgiving turkey, Jenkins said fryers should always be used outside, away from any buildings and should never be left unattended.

The bombing that took place during the Boston Marathon has left many people confused, frightened and saddened. Now that the sirens have died down, details about the aftermath of the bombings are starting to solidify.
We now know that one of the three people killed was Martin Richard, an 8-year-old boy from Dorchester who died while cheering for his father, according to The Boston Globe. His mother and sister were also injured in the attack.
At least 176 people were injured in the bombings, with at least 17 of them in critical condition. Eight are children, according to CNN.com.
The New York Times' Tim Rohan points out that the bombings seemed to be timed for when the highest concentration of runners would be passing the finish line. Last year, 42 percent of all Boston Marathon runners finished within the 30-minute window before and after the time the bombs went off on Monday, which is also when many spectators come to cheer their friends and family on.
Several Texomans were there when the devices blew up. Friends and family right here in Texoma waited anxiously to hear from loved ones after they heard about the deadly blasts.
Durant runner, Larry Qualls saw the explosion firsthand.
"Just scared, I heard some bombs going off then I talked to people that was there on that street and they said they thought it was fireworks at first. But then she said she felt the ground shake," he said. "Immediately, the track just filled with people. There were people going every direction and police cars and ambulances. It was really chaotic."
Qualls said he was less than half a mile from the finish and said if it wasn't for a calf injury, he could have been at the site of the blast maybe even killed.
Most of the injuries were to people's legs. Spectators rather than runners suffered the majority of the injuries, reports The Huffington Post. Alasdair Conn, chief of emergency services at Massachusetts General, told the AP:
"This is something I've never seen in my 25 years here ... this amount of carnage in the civilian population. This is what we expect from war. [AP]"
It remains unclear whether the shrapnel found in victims was intentional (e.g. pellets or nails placed in a bomb) or created by the force of the explosions.
Law enforcement officials don't have any official suspects and President Obama specifically urged people not to speculate on who's behind the attack.
"We still don't know who did this or why," Obama said Monday night. "People should not jump to conclusions before we have all the facts. But make no mistake. We will get to the bottom of this. We will find out who did this. We will find out why they did this. Any individual or responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice."
Of course, plenty of people are speeding by the president's advice and jumping to conclusions, the truth behind that can bee seen on any of the many social media sights, like facebook.
The top four groups being speculated are:
#1: Islamist jihadists: This one was pretty inevitable since the New York Post report that a 20-year-old Saudi national had been picked up as a "person of interest." Police quickly threw dealt with the situation and the man was not charged. Another anonymous law enforcement official "notes that the manner of the attack suggests it may have been Al Qaeda inspired — if not Al Qaeda directed," says Christopher Dickey at The Daily Beast. That's because the construction of the bombs — gunpowder with ball-bearings and other shrapnel to maximize the damage — is similar to a bomb recipe shared by Al Qaeda "on its internet manuals for terrorist attacks."
2. Right-wing militia types: This theory, too, was inevitable. And most proponents point to the date — Patriots' Day — as a clue. Residents of Massachusetts and Maine celebrate Patriots' Day by taking the day off of work and reenacting the first battles of the American Revolution. But in recent years, Second Amendment activists and antigovernment modern-day militia members have tried to co-opt the holiday, which also roughly marks the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. One reporter was quoted as saying "It's also "wise in these cases to remember that the 1995 bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City and the bombing at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 were carried out by Americans who espoused extreme right-wing causes."
There's also the fact that the Boston Marathon fell on tax day this year, and the last mile of the race "was dedicated to Newtown victims," says Tomasky.
3. The government: "False flag" attack proponents wasted no time blaming the government for staging the Boston explosions to achieve their own ends, said Alex Seitz-Wald at Salon. Then "Dan Bidondi, a 'reporter/analyist' (sic) for Alex Jones's InfoWars, managed to ask Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick the very first question in a nationally televised press conference," notes Slate's David Weigel: "Why were the loud speakers telling people in the audience to be calm moments before the bombs went off? Is this another false flag staged attack to take our civil liberties and promote homeland security while sticking their hands down our pants on the streets?"
There were too many cameras and witnesses to "concoct a really compelling conspiracy theory," and the real-time fact-checking on Twitter has decimated the bad information that conspiracies need to thrive. For example, those "loud speakers" urging calm never happened.
4. A criminally insane lone wolf: There's also the possibility that this attack was perpetrated by some "local nut case," says Tomasky at The Daily Beast. "I guess I am right now leaning in that least conspiratorial direction." Unfortunately, in our "open and free society," people can cause massive destruction with a few well-placed bombs. There's a decent chance the Boston marathon attackers were "motivated by simple revenge of some kind, or by nothing but the disease in someone's brain."
It was really shameful. The bombers should be given strict punishment. Many children's and their family will have to suffer the losses who died in this attack.

JW Aluminum normally makes aluminum, but in the first week of August the company helped make a school supply drive a success.
Over the course of a week various departments had a friendly donation competition between employees at the Berkeley County aluminum company, located just outside Goose Creek on Old Mt. Holly Road.
The donations were part of Berkeley County School District's "Stuff the Bus" school supply drive.
As of Aug. 9 the district had collected a total of 11,591 items with a retail value of $13,366. There were additional donations of $15,227.
JW Aluminum collected 4,237 school supplies for BCSD plus 10 backpacks stuffed with supplies and notebooks to be given to children at the Callen-Lacey Center for Children, a Berkeley County emergency shelter.
On Aug. 6 at 9:30 a.m. a BCSD school bus pulled into the JW Aluminum parking lot as employees from the plant and the district gathered around the bus and boxes containing the donations.
Employees celebrated by handing out a trophy to the winning department and pendants to the departments that collected the second and third most supplies.
"It first started as a fundraiser and turned into a competition between departments," Todd Gross of the winning maintenance department said. "It's for the Berkeley County kids. Everybody is a winner.
"We hope we can take a little pressure off the kids and teachers. It's something that bonds us together. We like helping the community."
"We placed second," Paul Shaw of the IT department said. "It was very competitive. The competition was one week. We ran it on a points system."
"We're honestly just doing it for the kids," Nicole Byrn of the accounting department said. "We feel as though Berkeley County is our home. It's where we're based.
"It's a wonderful feeling to give back to the community."
On Aug. 3 "Stuff the Bus" buses rolled into the Walmarts in Goose Creek, Moncks Corner and Summerville to aid in collecting donations.
Donations can still be made at the school district up until Aug. 19, the first day of school.

Just over a week ago, Chris Froome won the 2013 Tour de France. He covered the 2,042 miles in just under 83 hours in 21 days of racing.
Even if you aren't a cycling fan, you are probably aware of the doping scandals in past races and in cycling in general. But aside from doping, I think the Tour de France provides an excellent opportunity for a short lesson in sports physiology.
All of the riders in the Tour are exceptionally fit since their bodies have adapted to years of dedicated, intense training.
Endurance events like cycling are dependent on the delivery of oxygenated blood to the muscle to produce ATP, the energy needed to sustain exercise. The heart gets bigger and blood volume expands, resulting in the ejection of more blood to the muscle.
Within the muscle, there is an increase in the number of capillaries, the small blood vessels that deliver blood to the muscle, and mitochondria, the part of the cell that produces most of the ATP. Together, these adaptations allow the muscle to produce more ATP without fatigue, allowing the athlete to exercise at a higher intensity for a longer time.
But training isn't the only reason these athletes can sustain such intense exercise for so long. Proper nutrition, especially what the athletes eat and drink before, during and after each stage, also plays an important role. Intense endurance exercise like cycling relies on carbohydrates, in particular muscle glycogen, as a fuel.
Muscle glycogen is a storage form of glucose, sugar that the muscle converts into energy. During prolonged exercise that lasts several hours, muscle glycogen levels can be severely depleted.
Eating carbohydrates before exercise can boost muscle glycogen levels, so cyclists eat carbohydrate-rich foods for breakfast before each stage. They also consume carbohydrates in the form of sports drinks (think Gatorade) and energy bars prior to starting.
In fact, they start replenishing their muscle glycogen immediately after finishing the previous day's ride. This usually begins with a recovery beverage, which may contain some protein for more rapid muscle glycogen synthesis, and extends through one carbohydrate-rich meals and snacks that afternoon and evening.
During exercise it is crucial to maintain adequate blood glucose levels, which tend to drop since the muscle is using so much as a fuel.
Failure to replenish blood glucose results in what cyclists call "hitting the wall" or "bonking," which is similar to your car running out of gas. Glucose must be replenished, typically with sports drinks, energy bars, or a sugary mixture called goo.
Prolonged, intense exercise, especially in the heat, results in a high sweat rate which can lead to dehydration. Sweat loss of several liters per hour is not uncommon during cycling, so fluid intake is essential. This means that cyclists spend a lot of time drinking water while they ride.
Sports drinks are also commonly used since they contain carbohydrates and electrolytes in addition to water.
Endurance events like cycling, especially multi-stage events like the Tour de France, highlight important concepts of sports physiology. Even though you may never compete at that level, understanding how training can improve your endurance is relevant if you cycle – or run, walk, or swim – for exercise.
Knowing how proper nutrition before, during and after exercise can improve performance can help you make better decision about what to eat.
Hopefully, it also gives you a greater appreciation for the science that goes into a performance like Froome's, riding almost 100 miles per day for three weeks straight at an average speed of about 24 miles per hour!
Brian Parr, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Exercise and Sports Science at USC Aiken where he teaches courses in exercise physiology, nutrition and health behavior.

House advances gas tax increaseBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | March 21,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
The Legislature is considering a gas tax increase. Petitions and signs against the increase are all over the state, including at the Mobil pumps on South Main Street in Rutland.MONTPELIER — Politically challenging as it may be back home, House lawmakers gave preliminary approval Wednesday to a tax increase projected to add nearly 7 cents a gallon to gas prices this summer.
Higher prices in 2013 are only the beginning for motorists, who will see the new tax ratchet up alongside the price of unleaded if the legislation becomes law. For the first time ever, the gas tax will be calculated as a percentage of retail costs, a departure from the fixed surcharge of 19 cents per gallon used now.
While the controversial mechanism will help revenues keep pace with the rising cost of road and bridge maintenance, it also cost the fiscal year 2014 transportation bill, of which it is a provision, a few votes on the House floor Wednesday.
"We are abdicating our responsibility as legislators, taking away the people's voice and indexing a tax we will never again vote for," said Rep. Michael Marcotte, a Newport Republican who said he would have otherwise supported the higher gas tax.
Rep. Paul Poirier, a Barre independent, went so far as to call the indexing a "coward's way out."
"We should not be afraid to stand here and vote when we need to raise taxes," he said.
Poirier's charge was one to which Rep. Patrick Brennan, a Colchester Republican and chairman of the House Transportation Committee, took exception. He said the static nature of the gas tax is one of the primary reasons lawmakers find themselves facing the unpalatable task of raising rates on constituents this year.
"I think it's courageous," Brennan said. "I think it looks to the future, I think it has foresight, and I think it ensures people won't have to make some of these tough decisions in the near future."
The $657 million transportation budget passed by an overwhelming margin thanks not only to almost unanimous support from Democrats but also to the 12 Republicans who joined them. Rep. Tom Koch, a Barre Town Republican, said he has no interest in raising the gas tax on voters in his district. But he said that "the alternative is to vote 'no' and let our roads and bridges deteriorate even further."
"And I will not support that," Koch said.
The bill is scheduled for a final vote in the House today, after which it heads to the Senate. Senate President John Campbell said his body is convinced of the need for the new revenue but that he'll be seeking explicit assurances the new money won't be diverted to uses other than transportation infrastructure.
Annual sales of unleaded gas are down 40 million gallons since 2005, a more than 15 percent decline driven by a combination of rising prices and the proliferation of fuel-efficient vehicles. Brennan said transportation revenues have suffered as a result and the state now risks losing out on nearly $60 million in federal money for lack of a state match.
Gov. Peter Shumlin in January proposed a 4 percent tax on the retail price of gas (minus state and federal tax). The House has made some tweaks, but Deputy Transportation Secretary Sue Minter said it achieves the result the administration was looking for.
When the tax is fully phased in — the House version goes to a 2 percent tax this spring and jumps to the full 4 percent in June 2014 — it is expected to raise close to $30 million annually. Based on projections from the Legislature's fiscal analysts, Brennan said, the estimated per-gallon impact at the pump will be 6.7 cents this year, 7.9 cents in fiscal year 2015 and 8.8 cents in fiscal year 2016.
The House has put a ceiling and floor on the gas tax, protecting state revenues against a steep decline in prices and insulating motorists from significant increases. The per-gallon assessment would top out at 19 cents, a limit that won't be reached unless prices hit $5.30 per gallon.
Though lawmakers are looking to impose the 4 percent tax on retail sales, the existing 19-cent-per-gallon excise tax won't go away entirely. When the entirety of the new tax is phased in, the excise tax is to fall to 13.9 cents. It will from then on be automatically adjusted every year based on the consumer price index.
"We know we ask a lot of Vermonters to help us pay for the roads and bridges they use, and it's never easy to ask for more," Minter said. "But we also know that Vermonters expect improvement to their roads and bridges."
Republicans on Wednesday offered a raft of amendments that sought to eliminate the tax increase, remove the inflationary index or sunset the tax after one year. House Minority Leader Don Turner said each of the proposals, through a combination of spending cuts and revenue increases, would have delivered the money Vermont needs to avoid sending money back to Washington, D.C. Each failed by a wide margin.
"We all understand the importance of our transportation infrastructure," Turner said. "But we also understand working Vermonters are already getting hammered all over the place, so raising the gas tax is the last thing we want to look at."
Chiefly, Turner said, his caucus wants to "purify" the transportation fund, from which lawmakers currently take more than $50 million annually for purposes unrelated to upkeep of infrastructure. The transfers include nearly $28 million for the education fund and about $25 million for the Vermont State Police.
The House's version of the bill would permanently reduce the annual transfer to public safety by $5 million over the next three years.
Public outcry over the proposal has taken a number of forms, including petitions urging lawmakers to "say no to the gas tax" on checkout counters at gas stations around the state.
On the floor of the House, Rep. Ron Hubert pulled an inches-thick pile of papers from a folder on his desk, saying it included the names of the 13,000 people who have signed the plea. He offered an amendment that would have minimized the need for new revenues by cutting entirely the $7.8 million subsidy to Amtrak. The amendment garnered only 15 "yes" votes.
Poirier, rarely an opponent of raising new revenues for government programs, said his colleagues are using the most regressive means at their disposal to generate the money needed for roads. Poorer Vermonters can't afford the newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles needed to minimize the impact of the assessment, he said, nor can they stop driving to work.
"Many people in this room think, 'What's 6 cents on the gas tax?'" Poirier said. "Just try being in the seat of a family working for minimum wage, trying to make a car payment."

The majority of my experience is in Shotokan/Gosoku Ryu Karate (Rank Shodan) under Tak Kubota / Takemasa Okuyama. Have been in many point fighting tournaments, such as the Canadian Nationals at black belt level.
Have been training boxing and muay thai off and on for a few years, primarily focused on bjj right now which i started several months back.
Good boxing and good muay thai/kickboxing is a very deadly combination. In sparring you can easily kick the hell out of the guys with primarily boxing, and the guys with a good muay thai backround, they really dont have have the hands to deal with you. You can easily counter and fool them. I havent seen many TKD or karate fighters at the gym as an only style, but some of the kicks and techniques some guys use.
I'm not knocking karate, tkd etc, but there are a few guys at my gym that have those backgrounds and they throw some kicks at different angles and stuff, but I find their hands are typically low and they leave themselves open for counters. I really think a blend of Muay Thai and Boxing is the most effective. That combo of striking power and head and foot movement is the way to go. In my opinion anyway.
4 years American TKD (Jhoon Rhee => Alan Steen => L. Wheeler => me) This was a very competitive school. The difference between "hard rock" korean TKD and American, is that the korean style has almost no hands. They block with dodging or kicks. Chung Do Kwan TKD incorporates about 30% hands.
2 years American kickboxing. This class was either the TKD guys that wanted no rounds and more lax (real) rules or the local street toughs that couldnt/wouldnt be in the TKD class. So this was my intro to using TKD vs boxers and kickboxers.
It takes a while to build KO power with snapping kicks, but once you get to concrete breaking level, you can throw the kick, and the only thing they can do is not be there (or shoot if they grapple). I dont understand why people like muay thai style kicks so much over the snap kicks...if both have ko/bone break power, then the faster one, that doesnt leave you open if you miss, is better IMO. The sidekick is by far the most underutilized tool in mma, and the front snap kick to the body is another one that is ULTRA useful against boxers that like to square up. I dont see anywhere close to the amount of body kicks there should be in mma.
I will say that TKD lacks a bit on the hands. Most of what I learned until the kickboxing were punches that were straight, fast, and accurate (point punches) rather than angled and powerful (damage punches) However, if your footwork and cardio are good...and you arent fighting in a closet...its hard for a boxer to get close enough to hit you. My leg is longer than any boxers arm.
The other thing I wish TKD had is leg kicks. I can actually throw a mid level or head level roundhouse stronger than I can a leg kick. There is no mention anywhere in TKD or the american kickboxing I did where kicks to the leg were allowed, and that is a major weapon for the muay thai guy and for any striker vs juijitsu/boxing.

My dad was an amateur boxer so i practiced under him in boxing, but I'm a mainly submission wrestler so my striking has a lot to be desired

Nicolai Gedda [b.1925] is one of the greatest lyric tenors of the twentieth century and unquestionably the most versatile. Born in Stockholm, his father was a Russian who sang in the Don Cossack Choir; after a brief interval in Leipzig, where the family went when his father was appointed cantor with the Orthodox Church, they returned to Stockholm in 1934. There it was that young Nicolai discovered his voice and began his studies with a distinguished teacher, Carl Martin Ohmann, at the Swedish Royal Academy of Music. He made his début in 1951 at the Royal Opera in Stockholm in the première of Sutermeister's Der rote Stiefe, followed by the altitudinous tenor rôle of Chapdelou in Adam's Le Postillon de Longjumeau in April 1952.
After taking part in the first Western recording of Boris Godunov under Dobrowen (8.110242-44), Gedda made his La Scala début in 1953 as Don Ottavio and the Groom in the première of Orff's Il trionfo di Afrodite. The following years saw him appear at the Paris Opera (Huon in Oberon), the Aix-en-Provence Festival, Covent Garden (the Duke in Rigoletto), Salzburg Festival (Belmonte in Die Entführung) and the Metropolitan in New York as Gounod's Faust. In 1958 he created the rôle of Anatol in Barber's Vanessa, which he also gave in Salzburg. He first sang Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini at the Holland Festival in 1961, which he later repeated at Covent Garden in 1966, 1969 and 1976. He also appeared in Russia in 1980-81 to great acclaim. His London concert hall début took place in 1986. He sang at the Met for 22 seasons in 27 rôles in 289 performances. He was still recording as recently as 2002. Gedda has proved the most versatile lyric tenor of his time with a vast discography covering every conceivable aspect of the repertory.
His career over fifty years took him to pretty well all the leading opera houses throughout Europe and America, and he sang a vast repertory in pretty well every language, in operas like Oberon, Don Giovanni, Boris Godunov, La sonnambula, Die Entführung aus dem Serail, I vespri siciliani, L'elisir d'amore, Der Barbier von Bagdad, Mireille, La traviata, I Puritani, Faust, among many others.
Equally renowned as a concert singer, he appeared in recital with piano and in liturgical works with orchestra. His recording career was no less exceptional; one of the busiest undertaken by any singer, it also included operetta and other music he did not venture in public. Even in the 21st century, at Covent Garden, he was still singing and in for him a new rôle, the Archbishop in Pfitzner's Palestrina.

The Social Enterprise and Identifying Talent
6 Jan
Last December we wrote about the Social Enterprise movement and the way these tools create opportunities for employees to participate in and influence the "corporate discussion". (Think of Sharepoint, Jive, Yammer, Kaltura or Lithium – which just raised $53mil.) Indeed, if implemented correctly, social enterprise tools offer employees new ways to become deeply involved in sharing knowledge, collaborating, and influencing company direction.
Although the enterprise software community is focused on productivity and collaboration – less understood is the opportunity these tools may offer leaders in identifying talent and thought leadership in an organization. Over time, some employees will attract followers to the knowledge, information and ideas they share. The results may be particularly interesting given the changing demographic and culture of new employees entering the workforce. If tracked correctly, this might be come a great means of identifying leadership from the bottom-up – and specifically a means that is very different from the traditional corporate review and hierarchy practices.
Employees who voice valuable information and ideas (either in text or video), share knowledge, and tend to collaborate will be valuable assets to any organization.
So… talent management, HR folks… it's time to join the discussion.

License scofflaw collects another caseStaff Report | October 12,2013BETHEL A 34-year-old Williamstown man who has been convicted of driving with a suspended license 10 times in the last nine years was allegedly at it again this week.
Vermont State Police say Kevin Joyal, who also has twice been convicted of drunken driving, was spotted driving a 2000 Subaru Outback south on Route 14 in East Bethel shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Police, who were familiar with Joyal and his criminal history, took him into custody, processed him at the state police barracks in Royalton and released him on a citation to appear in Orange County criminal court in Chelsea. The date was not made public.
Court officials say it wont be the first time hes been there. Six of Joyals license convictions can be traced to the Orange County courthouse, as can one of his drunken driving convictions.
Joyal was charged with DUI and driving with a suspended license after an October 2009 accident on Pirie Road in Williamstown when police claimed his blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.
According to court records, that license charge was dropped as part of a deal that involved him pleading guilty to drunken driving.
According to court officials, Joyal was first charged with DUI after a May 2004 accident on Reservoir Road in Orange.
They said the charge was amended to negligent operation.
Joyal was driving with a criminally suspended license at the time.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...
