Moormann Receives Harnum Award
The 2008 Connie N. Harnum Award for the top female scholar-athlete was awarded to Ashley Moormann '08, a four-year letter winner in track and field. Moormann capped her prolific Crusader career by being named the Landmark Conference Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year for her performance at the spring championships. There, she won the hammer throw and the shot put and took third in the javelin and discus, helping the team to a second-place finish. Susquehanna also took second in the indoor championships this winter, where Moormann placed third in the shot put and fourth in the weight throw.
Moormann's two individual golds this outdoor season top off a career that includes 11 top-eight conference placements. She also provisionally qualified for the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships in 2006.
Moormann was equally productive in the classroom. She was the 2008 Landmark Conference Senior Scholar-Athlete for women's indoor track and field, was named to the Landmark Spring All-Academic Team and was on the conference academic honor roll in both the winter and spring seasons. She also earned academic honors from the Middle Atlantic Conference four times and was a 2005 Academic All-American.
At this year's commencement ceremonies, Moormann received her degree in early childhood and elementary education. Her academic honors at Susquehanna included membership in the Kappa Delta Pi education honor society, the Alpha Lambda Delta freshman honor society and the Kappa Mu Epsilon mathematics honor society.
The Connie N. Harnum Award is given annually to the outstanding female scholar-athlete and is presented in honor of Susquehanna's longtime head field hockey coach, who retired in 2003 with 195 career victories over 27 seasons. She also served as the Crusaders' head women's tennis coach for 16 seasons and was the school's assistant director of athletics and senior women's administrator at the time of her retirement.
The contributing writer to Scoreboard is Jennifer Botchie '99, cheerleading coach at Susquehanna.

Of course, you also have the option of configuring and maintaining your own RSS feed if you would prefer to manage the RSS feed yourself. In either case, the details of the RSS configuration may vary depending on your situation. In this article, I'll concentrate on the audio content. I'll show you how to create, edit, and tag a podcast audio file.

We all know that the lifesaving work of the American Cancer Society wouldn't be possible without the support of millions of volunteers, businesses, community members, and partner organizations.
What you may not know, however, is that the United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) are a national partner of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.
Since the partnership began five years ago, Jaycee chapters across the nation have averaged 200 Relay For Life teams and have raised more than $1 million.
The Jaycees have a nationwide fundraising goal of $350,000 for the American Cancer Society through Relay For Life in 2013.
Earlier this year in January, the American Cancer Society had the opportunity to address more than 100 Jaycees Chapter Presidents, including a representative from the Madison-Danville chapter, at the annual Jaycees Leadership Academy in St. Louis.
During the event, attendees received training on how to effectively manage and grow a Relay For Life team and also had the opportunity to hear from cancer survivors, caregivers, and volunteers.
Attendees were also treated to a special presentation by Dr. Kimberly Johnson, an American Cancer Society funded researcher from Washington University.
Bringing back the training and knowledge learned at Leadership Academy, the Madison-Danville Jaycees are a top participator in the 2013 Relay For Life of Boone County.
To date, our team has raised nearly $1,000 through online donations, personal contributions, and our Zumbathon fundraiser in April.
Join us and the American Cancer Society on Friday, June 7, 2013 from 6 p.m. – 12:30 a.m. at Lick Creek Park in Danville for Relay For Life of Boone County.
We will be one of many teams and organizations participating in the evening's events, such as the boxcar race, live auction, and frozen t-shirt contest.
We will also be selling drinks, popcorn, and energy bars as well as offering face painting for children.
All proceeds support the Madison-Danville Jaycees Team and Relay For Life of Boone County.
The Madison-Danville Jaycees welcomes new members and continually encourages the public's input on community projects. General membership meetings are open to the public and are on the first and third Monday of the month. Meetings begin at 7 p.m. and are located at our Clubhouse, Room 202 in the Danville Community Center.
For more information, you may contact chapter president Sara Price-Fortney at 304-784-4259, email us at email@example.com, or visit us online at Facebook.com/MadisonDanvilleJaycees or MDJayceesWV.webs.com.

The Avon Park Red Devils jumped on Mulberry early — grabbing a 9-1 lead after four innings — and coasted to a 9-5 Class 4A-District 10 victory at Charles R. Head Field on Friday night.
The win ended a two-game slide after the Red Devils opened the season with nine consecutive victories.
Although the final score showed Avon Park winning by just four runs, Red Devils skipper Whit Cornell said he was never worried about the outcome.
"We had the game under control the whole time," he said. "Mulberry battled, but we had a game plan of what we were trying to do. We would have liked to have kept putting the runs up, but at the same, time we've got some guys in who needed to get in some work."
The Red Devils were a bit sloppy defensively in the top of the first, which helped the Panthers grab a quick 1-0 lead, but the advantage was short-lived, as Avon Park's Alfred Brown singled, stole second and third base and scored on a wild pitch.
Tyrone Perry walked, Kyle Kelley reached on an error, Stevie Flowers was hit by a pitch and Luis Martinez drew a bases-loaded walk, as the Red Devils led 3-1 after the first inning.
Avon Park tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the second, as Brown reached base and scored on Torri Pringle's RBI single. Perry drove in a run with a ground ball, reached on an error and scored his second run of the game on another error.
Pringle was hit by a pitch leading off the bottom of the inning and Perry made sure it was the Panthers who were the ones hurting by following that with a blast over the right-field fence to make it an 8-1 game.
Avon Park's final run came when Anthony Caruthers singled and courtesy-runner Cody Pearlman scored.
Colton Brock gave the Red Devils a solid four innings on the mound, as he got out of several jams with strikeouts or induced a double-play ball.
"It's tough to come out with your best stuff every day, but Colton had good focus and he gave us a chance to win," Cornell said.
Austin Stadie pitched two innings and allowed one run, with Kenny McGrath throwing the final inning when Mulberry scored three runs.
"Austin did a great job and Kenny needed some work and was able to get it done," Cornell said.
Cornell said he was pleased to see different players coming through with key hits in the game.
"They're all contributing," he said. "It's a good team effort this year. Everybody's staying together and they're having a good time and playing hard. Somebody always steps up. If somebody's having a hard time or not making good decisions, somebody else can step up and play and that's encouraging."
The Red Devils are going to hit the road during spring break for a game in South Carolina and one in Savannah, Ga.
"We're going to get to go and play two good schools," Cornell said. "We're going to get to see some of the historic sights of Savannah, so we'll get a little educational purpose in there too.
"The kids are excited. We took primarily the same group, plus a few others, to Alabama last year and they had a great time and really represented our community well, as far as their behavior."
The Red Devils return to district action March 19, when they visit county rival Lake Placid.

Samsung Galaxy S II Coming to Verizon, AT&T with QWERTY Slider
Jul 27th
Probably one of the chief reasons that the major mobile carriers in the United States have been mum about the Samsung Galaxy S II's arrival on American shores is that the blockbuster Samsung smartphone is not arriving at all as the black slab of beauty and power that the rest of the world has come to know and love. Instead, a Samsung Galaxy S II variant bearing a slide-out horizontal QWERTY keyboard is heading to U.S. mobile carriers–the one that's heading to AT&T anyway.

Motorola XOOM and Honeycomb Review

Motorola Xoom Review: The First Android Honeycomb Tablet Is Expensive, But Is It Worth It? [We Test Out The Xoom And Its Tegra 1GHz Processor, 10-inch Screen and Android 3.0 Goodness.
There's been a lot of talk about the Motorola Xoom lately. The 10-inch widescreen tablet is the first to carry the tablet-ready Android 3.0 and the rest of its technical specs read like a wish list, but more recently, its high price has drawn attention and headlines to the device. So, after spending some time with the device, is the Motorola Xoom worth the high price that it'll cost you? More >
HTC ThunderBolt Review
Mar 23rd
Posted by admin in App Review
When we first learned in 2007 that Verizon was going to be updating its network to 4G LTE, we've been wondering which smartphone would be the first to utilize it. Now it's here: the HTC ThunderBolt. Without a doubt, the ThunderBolt is being advertized as the must-have device, with fast internet data speeds, a 4.3" display, and a 1GHz processor. Verizon is counting on early-adopters at this point; people not wanting to wait around for other 4G smartphones, such as the dual-core Motorola DROID BIONIC, LG Revolution, or the (un-named) Samsung 4G LTE smartphone with Super AMOLED Plus display.

Verizon to Offer $50 Data-Only Plan for LTE Phones Bought Off Contract
Mar 17th
If you were planning on buying the HTC Thunderbolt off contract, you may want to take a look at a new plan option that Android Central has uncovered. Should you buy an LTE smartphone without a two-year contract and don't want to use the phone part of the phone, you can get a data-only plan for $50 per month.
That money will net you 5GB of data, with each gigabyte after that costing $10 until the end of the month. The catch is that you'll have to get a voice and data plan first, but a quick call to Verizon should get More >
Motorola Droid 3 to Feature OMAP4, Motorola Targa to be First Phone with Quad-core NVIDIA Kal-El?

Read on after the jump for the latest rumors and speculation.Motorola Droid X2
The Droid X2 is a refresh of the original Droid X, but this time Motorola went with a dual-core CPU. Rumored specs include a 1 GHz Tegra 2, 4.3 inch qHD display, 512 MB RAM, rear and front-facing cameras, and More >
HTC Thunderbolt Launching March 17, Wirefly Taking Pre-orders Starting Tonight At Midnight

We have learned from a number of trusted sources that the much-anticipated HTC Thunderbolt will launch this Thursday, March 17. We have also learned that online retailer Wirefly will be offering pre-orders starting at midnight (PST) tonight. The site's Thunderbolt page has not yet been updated to reflect this, but they announced it via their Facebook page. Verizon's first LTE smartphone lists for $249.99, but Wirefly is promising a "special price" for their customers.
After a series of frustrating delays and false rumors, anxious Verizon customers can now breathe a sigh of relief as the launch is finally concrete. Are you one More >
New HTC Thunderbolt March 21 Release

So far we have all seen Verizon HTC Thunderbolt release dates being February 14, 17, 24, 28, then March 3 and 10th, which means these dates are void, then we heard that March 17th is a possibility and now according to BGR and Droid-Life March 21st has popped up.
Now these are all just online rumours, they could be true but we always suggest waiting for an official announcement and until More >

Verizon Wireless will Move to Tiered Data Plans This Summer
Mar 2nd
Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference this afternoon, Verizon CFO Fran Shammo told investors that Verizon Wireless plans to move to tiered data plans in the near future. The plans, which could roll out as early as this summer, may be based on consumption, speed, or a combination of the two. "We are still working on the models," said Mr. Shammo. The CFO mentioned that Verizon Wireless consciously decided against a tiered data option with the recently launched iPhone 4, noting that the company did not want to dissuade any potential buyers.

HTC Incredible 2 Makes Its First Appearance in Verizon's Internal System

The HTC Incredible 2 has just been spotted in Verizon's internal system almost a year to the day after its predecessor. Before you get too excited, assuming you are prone to getting excited about the Incredible 2, keep in mind that the original Incredible didn't launch for a little over two months after it made its first appearance in a similar screenshot.
It's a safe bet that the Incredible 2 will at least borrow quite a bit from the already announced Incredible S, but whether it is in fact a carbon copy remains to be seen. One trait it hopefully doesn't More >

It's safe to assume that Bella did not traffic often with officers. Her father, a cow herder, was illiterate. She was the oldest of seven children, and the family lived 4 miles outside Leicester, in the village of Stoughton, under essentially feudal conditions. Their tiny cottage sported a thatched roof and porous walls that wept profusely during wet weather. The floors sagged, the oak beams were bowed, and the outhouse sat a good distance away, by the animal barn.
Still, Bella was no numbskull serf. Rather, she emerges from the legal papers as a self-possessed, forward-thinking young woman. After she finished school at age 12, she took the standard route for girls of her station and worked as a domestic servant. Soon, she saw that there was better pay--and hence more freedom--in factory work, and began pedaling to her night shift at Bates, alone over the dark, hilly 5-mile route. On weekends, according to the Leicester Mercury, "She was often to be seen riding alone. She was never really happy except when enjoying the pleasures of the country-side." She fixed her own flats, using tubes she got almost gratis at work, and though she was, in the parlance of the day, "keeping company" with 18-year-old Archie Ward, a stoker away at sea on a Royal Navy steamship, she still lived as she wished. Just one week before her death, on June 28, she'd gone to a party with her workmates and allowed a young blacksmith, William Wood, to escort her home through the night.
Did Bella see in Ronald Light a beguiling and urbane older man? Perhaps. In telling her mother of her encounter with the "officer," Bella recounted, "He asked me who I was, and I told him I was a labouring man's daughter. He said what a nice girl I was and said by my nice ways and looks I ought to be in a nicer position than a labourer's daughter."
They rode, Bella and Light, down the hill. Then they started up another and hopped off, walking side by side. While Bella stopped in at her uncle George Measure's cottage, Light waited for her, passing time in the village by, he claimed, attending to a flat tire. Bella's uncle told her he didn't like the look of her scraggly cycling partner, who lingered outside, unshaven and wearing a raincoat on a clear night.
But when Bella emerged after an hour inside, she rejoined Light and the two of them rode west out of Gaulby, into the midsummer twilight, at about 8:50 p.m. Thirty minutes later, a farmer would find her on an ancient Roman thoroughfare, the Via Devana, lying dead in a puddle of blood.
I wanted to see the terrain Bella rode on her last night alive, so I rented a bike one cold, sleety morning and rode off toward the Strettons with a man named Philip Draycott.

When knocked down, Mourdock bounces back, ready to go again
Shifting from local to state politics contributed to success
EVANSVILLE - Richard Mourdock has been, throughout his 24-year political career, like one of those inflatable, self-righting punching-bag dolls. Flatten him and he springs right back up, unbowed and ready to go again.
But even Mourdock would not have cast himself in his current role — the man who took out Sen. Richard Lugar en route to winning the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat — after what happened to him in 2004.
That year, he finished fifth in a field of six candidates to fill three at-large Vanderburgh County Council seats. The sixth-place finisher attended no candidate forums and turned down interview requests.
The defeat stung all the more because Mourdock had two years earlier
wrapped up an eight-year stint as a member of the Vanderburgh County Commissioners, the county's executive governing body. He was a known quantity to voters, having been elected twice to the commissioners after waging three unsuccessful congressional campaigns.
"He was not prepared for that," Democrat Troy Tornatta said of Mourdock's ill-fated 2004 County Council campaign.
Tornatta, one of the three winners in that race, pointed to Mourdock's successful 2006 and 2010 campaigns for state treasurer and his victory in this year's Republican Senate primary.
"It's all timing, and I think (Mourdock's) timing has been very good for a run at state offices," Tornatta said. "It's something that he has more passion for. I really don't think he had a lot of passion for going back and being a county councilman after he'd been commissioner."
The issues in the 2004 County Council race were arguably less compelling than the issues of global political and national economic stability that Mourdock and Democratic opponent U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly will debate this fall.
The six candidates — Mourdock, Republicans Marsha Abell and Ed Bassemier and Democrats Tornatta, Mike Goebel and Michael R. Schaefer — debated tax abatements for companies, uses for the new county jail then under construction on Evansville's North Side and local government consolidation.
Mourdock, a geologist by trade, said he began the campaign with good intentions but was soon sidetracked by booming business at his geologic consulting firm, R.E. Mourdock and Associates.
"If there was a moral to me of 2004, it's, 'Don't run for office unless you have a burning desire to do it,'" he said. "I had people say, 'You can do it. You've got the name ID to do it,' and all that, and certainly I did a number of events and things. But philosophically did I learn anything politically about myself? No, other than if you're really not into running for the office, when the time is up you ought not to do it."
Mourdock's political career has been nothing if not uneven. Victories for a seat on the County Commissioners in 1994 and 1998 have been punctuated by the 2004 County Council loss and unsuccessful bids for the 8th District U.S. House seat in 1988, 1990 and 1992.
In 2002, Mourdock sought the state GOP's nomination for secretary of state, losing on the convention's final ballot to Todd Rokita.
Even his successful 2006 bid for state treasurer was preceded by a defeat of sorts when Mourdock was forced to abandon his candidacy for state auditor because Gov. Mitch Daniels endorsed Republican Treasurer Tim Berry for the nomination instead. Mourdock switched to the treasurer's race.
But Mourdock thrived in the end, leading the Republican ticket while winning re-election in 2010 and then vanquishing Lugar, an icon of Indiana politics, this year. If he can win one more race — the general election campaign against Donnelly — Mourdock will be a United States senator.
Abell, also one of the 2004 campaign's three winners and a longtime Mourdock friend, introduced him at a fundraiser for his first campaign in 1988. She says Mourdock has grown by leaps and bounds since his early local campaigns, achieving a fluency in foreign policy and economic issues that gives him the chops to run and win a U.S. Senate campaign.
"I think the basic convictions of Richard Mourdock are as they always were, but I think he has become much more of a statesman, much more comfortable in his own skin when he's speaking to people," Abell said.
"You could tell he was a little nervous when he would talk to people, but now he seems so confident and so comfortable that he's not nervous at all when he has to speak."
Tornatta, whose own record in local campaigns is a mixed bag of wins and losses, said Mourdock probably had to make a successful transition from local to statewide politics to continue his political career.
Local politicians acquire barnacles after years in public office as they inevitably alienate voters for various reasons, slowly diluting their power bases and sometimes simply wearing out their welcomes, Tornatta said.
"When you branch out and you run for other offices in other communities, you're a fresh new face," he said. "You're somebody with all the ideas, and you're better received because they don't necessarily know you. They're getting to know you, and it's that honeymoon period. I truly think it was a good step for Richard because he had to get out of this community to be able to grow."
Although he is a Democrat, Tornatta refused to rule out supporting Mourdock in November's election.
"I really haven't thought about it," he said with a chuckle. "I like looking at the best person for the job, and if Donnelly proves to be the best person for the job, that's fine. If Richard is the best person for the job, that's fine. I know we always get pigeonholed into our Ds and Rs, but I've voted for plenty of Rs."
Mourdock said if the 2004 campaign reveals anything about him, it is that he doesn't give up easily when pursuing something he believes in.
He said it never occurred to him to drop his interest in public service because of one defeat.
"I've been around a lot of candidates who will get out there and work real hard and lose, and their first reaction when you see them the day after is, 'I'll never do that again,'" he said. "I ask them, 'What's different about you today than yesterday? What do you believe differently today than you believed yesterday?' They'll say, 'I still believe the same things.'
"So why wouldn't you run again? I mean, if you believe something, so what if you have a momentary defeat? You just keep going."

Continuing on Boeing's pre-Farnborough tour last week… From Hurburt Field, Florida, we flew to Kelly Field, near San Antonio, Texas, in a pair of Gulfstream 200 business jets.
Having now flown on a business jet, I can say that it is the best way to travel. I've decided I must have one when I grow up. It's way better than first class–and about a billion (maybe even a trillion) times better than flying in the regular cattle-car section.
Shot by
Gareth Jennings my friend Guillaume Steuer at Air and Cosmos (as Gareth pointed out earlier today)- I'm not in this shot… but I was onboard. This is just to illustrate what it was like inside a Gulfstream
So moving on… Boeing's maintenance and overhaul facilities over in Texas do the depot level maintenance on the Boeing C-17 strategic airlifter and KC-135 tanker. On C-17, they do a bunch of avionics upgrades and other work. On the KC-135, they practically dismantle the jets and completely overhaul the entire aircraft.
They were also doing some modification work on the 787 and 747-8 too on the civilian side. I saw a 787 that was being worked on. It's a pretty impressive aircraft. But according to one of the engineers, Boeing made it as light as possible. So there is very little excess structure… so a military derivative might not be possible.
This was a C-17 from Charleston that was being overhauled… didn't turn out badly for a Blackberry shot
From Kelly we then flew to Edward AFB in California. While Edwards is a veritable aviation Mecca, we didn't have access to the really cool stuff. For example, we could see F-22s, F-35s and Global Hawks (and lots of other stuff) on the ramp, but couldn't go talk to their guys (or play with their equipment)… Nor did they let us see their alien cold storage locker. Most disappointing…
All was not lost though… My good friend Gareth Jennings over at Jane's took this photo of Cape Canaveral's alien storage locker… But while we missed out on the aliens, Boeing and NASA let us take a look at the hydrogen-powered Phantom Eye drone. The aircraft is powered by two modified truck engines which run on hydrogen–it's apparently much more efficient than a conventionally fueled machine.
The Phantom Eye was damaged during its first flight recently, but the damage doesn't really look that bad. Granted the damaged section was mostly covered up. Boeing's guys say the problem was traced back to the nose gear. They're planning on redesigning it and then getting the plane back in the air relatively soon. Boeing hopes to eventually fly this thing up to 65, 000 ft.
If it works, they're planning on building a larger version. There has apparently been a lot of interest from customers.
We also saw the X-48C blended-wing body subscale test bed aircraft. It's a lot smaller than I expected for a multi-million dollar research project. With this new version, Boeing and NASA are exploring technologies to reduce the aircraft's noise footprint. Eventually, they hope to build a larger-scale aircraft… Potentially with a pilot even–but that's in the future. Right now, they just want to fly this thing.
There was also an X-51 hypersonic test vehicle brief, but we didn't see any hardware. But it was very interesting…
So before heading to LAX to fly off to Portland, we stopped off at the base museum. Inside was this gem–one of the two original YF-22 prototypes that faced-off against the Northrop YF-23. As I'm sure you guys know–this design evolved into today's F-22 Raptor.

UNC-Chapel Hill, employee reach impasse over student-athlete findings
After a national report released this week placed UNC-Chapel Hill student-athlete reading levels under the microscope, UNC officials are asking the researcher, a university employee, to provide them with the data.
Mary Willingham, a UNC Center for Student Success and Academic Counseling employee, is saying that the university already has the data, and can use it to come to its own conclusions.
The CNN report published Tuesday stated that some former UNC athletes, particularly on the basketball and football teams, didn't know how to read or write, or couldn't read beyond an eighth-grade level.
In an email to The Herald-Sun, Willingham said Friday that UNC's athletics department should have all the data the university needs and that it belongs to them.
"They paid for it," Willingham said. "My research is what is referred to as a 'secondary data analysis.' The data already exists."
She said she used SAT and ACT scores, along with reading scores from the Scholastic Abilities Test for Adults (SATA), to determine the reading levels of UNC student-athletes.
"They can just as easily 'run the numbers' if they want to see the truth," Willingham said.
Willingham told CNN that she examined the reading levels of 183 UNC-Chapel Hill athletes who played football or basketball from 2004 to 2012. According to her research, 60 percent read between fourth- and eighth-grade levels, and between 8 and 10 percent read below a third-grade level. She said this remains a problem at UNC.
After a UNC Board of Governors meeting at the Spangler Center in Chapel Hill Friday, UNC system President Thomas Ross said the admissions departments at their 17 campuses are strong, and these campuses provide academic support to student-athletes to ensure their success.
"What we know is only what has been reported, which was taken from an individual, and so it's our understanding that the campus is taking a look at this to see where that information came from, whether or not that's accurate information, and so I don't know that we can comment anything beyond that except to say that they're looking at the facts," Ross said.
This latest incident of UNC-Chapel Hill athletics in the media spotlight comes after an academic scandal investigation that found no-show classes, grade rosters with forged signatures and unauthorized grade changes dating back to 1997. Three people also are expected to plead or stand trial this year for charges of giving money to college athletes, a violation of the North Carolina Uniform Athlete Agents Act.
"It's definitely damaged the university in some ways, but I don't think it's permanent damage because there's so much strong work that goes on at the university," Ross said of UNC-Chapel Hill's reputation.
UNC Board of Governors Chairman Peter Hans said university athletics across the system must be policed and transparent, and in the coming months, the board will look at the finances of athletics programs in more detail.
"Many of these student-athletes excel, some struggle, and we want to be open and honest about that fact," Hans said.
Joy Renner, chairwoman of the Faculty Athletics Committee at UNC-Chapel Hill, said she has seen those reading level numbers before. Willingham shared them with Renner in an email last semester.
The athletics committee meets Tuesdays and discusses the relationship between athletics and academics, and Willingham attended a committee meeting last December, when she shared some of her reading level statistics, Renner said.
One of the committee members asked Willingham if she could share the data and release it to the committee for further evaluation, Renner said, and Willingham said she had to check if she could release the data due to privacy concerns of the students involved.
"When it came out on CNN, I said, OK, it must be ready to be released," Renner said.
She added that she invited Willingham to the committee's upcoming Tuesday meeting to share her research findings, but Renner said Willingham declined the offer.
"She said, well, the university already has it," Renner said. "What we're looking for is the data set she used, the numbers that she got and the method she used to get those numbers. ... We want to see her methodology."
Renner added that this year's goal among committee members is to gather data, discuss how to better align the athletics department with academics, and continue the campus conversation to strengthen the athletics-academics partnership.
"Some people may think we're slow in what we're doing, and I choose to say what we're doing is deliberate," she said.
On Thursday and Friday, the UNC system Board of Governors were presented with a UNC intercollegiate athletics report, which shared the academic profile of freshmen student-athletes, majors of student-athletes, academic success indicators, campuses that received awards or sanctions, and information regarding nonacademic violations of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) bylaws.
For freshmen athletes recruited in 2012-13 at UNC-Chapel Hill, those in men's football entered the university with an average 3.43 GPA, 1060 SAT score and 22 ACT. Men's basketball scores were lower, with an average 2.96 GPA and 21 ACT (SAT not listed).
According to the educational programming company College Board, the average SAT score for the national class of 2013 was 1010 for combined critical reading and math. The average ACT national composite score in 2013, as calculated by the assessment organization ACT, was 20.9.
The UNC report also places UNC-Chapel Hill against a list of peer institutions, ranking them by graduation success rate. UNC-Chapel Hill, with its 24 sports programs, had an 86-percent NCAA graduation success rate. The only other North Carolina university on that list was Duke, which was ranked No. 1 with a 98-percent NCAA graduation success rate.

Worst Dressed: 2013 Grammy Awards
The Grammy's are known to be a bit… eccentric. I mean of course, put the entire music industry into one room and you're bound to have some quirky competition.
There were some who were dressed just too outlandish to even be considered an outfit, but here are my choices for worst dressed at the 55th annual Grammy Awards.
Jennifer Lopez in Anthony Vaccarello
I know J.Lo was trying to prove a point and retaliate against the memo to dress appropriately at the Grammy's, but she should have left the exposed leg trick to Angelina Jolie. This dress made J.Lo look huge, no question about it. It was not sexy in any way and most definitely not flattering.
Adele in Giorgio Armani
I love Adele, and it pains me to say this, but she looks much better in her all black ensembles. She's a gorgeous girl and a beautiful person, but this floral Armani gown does nothing for her.
Kaley Cuoco
This outfit is okay… in the sense that I wore the exact same thing to class last week. We're at the Grammy's. They happen once a year and are broadcasted on national television. Take the time to get dressed up in something more than what I'd throw on to go to the mall.
Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung is usually the most fashionable woman in the room, but this ensemble just completely washed out her pale skin. She looks completely monochromatic.
No. The florals, just no.
Which outfit did you like the least?

The load rating of a tyre is a numerical indication of the maximum load that a tyre can carry at the speed indicated by its speed symbol and at a given inflation pressure. Along with the tyres speed rating it forms what is commonly referred to as the "service description".
Below is a table of load ratings relating to car tyres:
However, it must be noted that all load ratings, regardless of the tyres speed symbol, are for a maximum of 210 km/h (130 mph). After this speed the maximum load rating should be reduced.
Some tyres, notably ZR rated, do not carry a service description. In this case it is advisable to consult the tyre manufacturer to determine maximum loads applicable.

Judge unseals information in suit against Ventura County jail postcard policy
A judge Tuesday unsealed declarations filed by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department in response to a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a jailhouse rule restricting correspondence to inmates to postcards.
The Star filed a motion last month to unseal the evidence, saying the sealing of the documents was an infringement of the public's right to know. The newspaper also argued there was no "overriding interest that overcomes the right of public access to the record."
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Rebecca Riley, however, ordered certain paragraphs and the names of jail personnel and inmates in the declarations to be redacted for safety concerns. The declarations won't be available to the public until that is done.
In January, the Ventura County Public Defender's Office filed a civil rights lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the jailhouse rule enacted last year limiting how inmates send and receive mail, saying it restricts free speech.
Initially, inmates could only mail and receive postcards no smaller than 4 inches by 6 inches and no larger than 6 inches by 11 inches. Sheriff's officials argued the rule was enacted to keep county jails safe and stop drugs, weapons and currency from entering the jail via mail.
The policy recently was changed to allow inmates to send letters but receive only postcards, attorney Michael McMahon of the Public Defender's Office told the court.
The policy was changed about two months ago because the safety concerns regarding outgoing mail vs. incoming mail wasn't as great, sheriff's Capt. Mike Aranda said in an interview.
The judge was about to issue a tentative ruling on the lawsuit Tuesday. But McMahon said the jail's change in the postcards-only rule supports what he said in his legal petition — that the security concerns were flawed and exaggerated.
McMahon pointed out that because of the state budget crisis, legislators and Gov. Jerry Brown shifted to the counties the responsibility for jailing lower-risk inmates and monitoring many parolees. The state also is under a federal court order to reduce the number of inmates in crowded prisons.
Because of this, his office has a client who is going to be sentenced to 12 years and eight months in county jail, instead of prison, McMahon said.
"A policy that says he can't receive any letters from his friends and family for 12 years and eight months is a pretty onerous sanction," he said in an interview. "So I think it is something the court has to consider."
McMahon told the judge that Pelican Bay State Prison, where California's most serious and violent inmates are housed, allows inmates to send and receive letters.
He persuaded the judge to delay her ruling until the Dec. 6 evidentiary hearing.
Jeffrey Held, whose law firm of Wisotsky, Procter & Shyer is representing the Sheriff's Department, said in an interview that officials remain concerned about jail security.
"The need to be sure that no contraband is coming into the jail is true whether the inmate will be there one day or 100 years," he said. "The security of those who live and work in the jail has to be maintained, and the longevity of the sentence is completely irrelevant to the smuggling of dangerous items."
He said policies at other prisons, including Pelican Bay, have no bearing on the county jail.
"I can't speak for other penal facilities or correctional institutions, but I can only say what is fair and safe at our facility," Held said.
Outside the courtroom, The Star's editor, John Moore, said the paper was happy with the court's decision to unseal the documents.
"We think it was the right ruling. We do understand the need to redact some very specific information about informants to not put people's lives in jeopardy," said Moore, "but that's limited redaction."
The Star's lawyer, Laura Cota of the Bamieh and Erickson law firm, told the judge that much of the sheriff's sealed information about smuggling contraband in and out of jails was already available on the Internet.
"It's easy to get. Anybody can log on to the Internet," said Cota, arguing against redacting any information other than the names of informants.
A person doing an Internet search of "how to smuggle drugs into jail" can expect more than 1.7 million results in 26 seconds, according to Cota's legal petition.
Riley said one exhibit in the sealed information is a demonstration by an inmate on how smuggling is done, which is specific to Ventura County jail.

As of Friday, November 11, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ATLANTA — Georgia Tech has a new coach, a new — if only temporary — home arena and a mostly new team.
"It's like a reset button," said guard Mfon Udofia.
Brian Gregory is hoping the reset includes some new scoring for his debut as coach tonight against Florida A&M.
Georgia Tech hired Gregory from Dayton in March after firing Paul Hewitt, who then was hired by George Mason. Gregory was 172-94 with two NCAA tournament appearances in eight seasons at Dayton.
His challenge is to revive a Georgia Tech program that played in the 2004 national championship game but managed to post a winning ACC record in only one of Hewitt's 11 seasons. The Yellow Jackets were 5-11 in the ACC last season.
Finally, Georgia Tech athletic director Dan Radakovich decided the reset was necessary. The fresh start with Gregory has the returning players excited.
"Everyone is just so pumped up," said sophomore Jason Morris. "Everyone is excited. The big thing right now is really just staying focused, not letting our emotions get the best of us. We're so amped up to get this new year started and it's here."
Georgia Tech's first five home games, including the opener against Florida A&M, will be played at the Gwinnett Arena about 30 minutes north of Atlanta. It will play its Atlantic Coast Conference home games at Philips Arena, home of the NBA Hawks, while Alexander Memorial Coliseum is being replaced. A new facility opens next season.
Gregory said Tuesday he likes the way his first Georgia Tech team is coming together. He said he's just worried who will emerge as the scoring leaders. Georgia Tech lost its top scorer, Iman Shumpert, and two other starters from last season's 13-18 team.
"Right now we are consistently inconsistent when it comes to that," Gregory said of his search for scoring.
The Yellow Jackets did not play an exhibition but had two closed scrimmages against undisclosed teams at their practice facility.
Gregory said guard Brandon Reed, a transfer from Arkansas State, "had some stretches where he was able to put the ball in the basket."
He said Udofia, a point guard, was "probably the most consistent" and Morris and forward Kammeon Holsey also showed flashes of offense.
Gregory said he has been "pleased more than surprised" with his players' "acceptance of new things."
"It's a group which wants to please, which is important," he said.
Morris said the initial transition was difficult.
"He didn't know us. We didn't know him," Morris said. "He wasn't the guy who most of us had longstanding relationships with. Most of the guys that coach Hewitt recruited, it wasn't a one- or two-year relationship. It was like a four- or five-year relationship with that coaching staff. My relationship with him had been back to when I was 14. So it was tough, but guys shook it off and basically said this is our chance to start over after last year."
Morris, who had a strong finish to his freshman season, and center Daniel Miller are the returning starters. Guard Glen Rice Jr., who averaged 12.8 points last season, is the leading returning scorer.
Miller (6-11, 258) and Holsey (6-8, 226) are the only true inside players with any experience. Gregory said he'll play four guards together at times.
"The two closed scrimmages that we had were against teams that had good athletic ability and played extremely hard, so it was good for us to kind of measure those characteristics of our team," Gregory said. "I thought we've made progress, no doubt about it. We've done a good job defensively, a good job on the glass."
Georgia Tech will play Delaware State on Monday before playing next week in the Charleston Classic in Charleston, S.C. The Yellow Jackets will face St. Joseph's in the tournament on Thursday.
"We'll play six games prior to Thanksgiving," Gregory said. "That's a lot of games. So we'll have a pretty good feel for where we're at and where we want to get to and the steps we'll need to take to get there."
Gregory has certainly stepped up the intensity level. While Hewitt was known for his laid-back style, the new coach seems determined to bring a new fire to this struggling program.
The players have certainly noticed the change.
"It's hard to match the coolness of coach Hewitt," Morris said. "Tall Paul. He was just a cool guy. Coach Gregory has a little more fire in his approach. He's a little more amped up."
Given how far this program has fallen, a new approach certainly can't hurt.
"I think we definitely need a lot more fire," Morris said. "Coach Hewitt had that fire in him, but this is at a different level. Coach Gregory doesn't back off. He wants the best for you. He won't let you get down on yourself. He's on you 24-7. I think that's something this group needs."

Alex Roberts at Marchington Music Club
Posted: June 06, 2014|
Some fine lap-steel playing is set to be showcased at a village music club this Sunday.
Management at the Dog & Partridge in Marchington has enlisted the talents of singer, musician and songwriter Alex Roberts for this week's Marchington Music Club slot.
Acclaimed to be an artist who represents all the best aspects of the songwriter's craft, Alex Roberts pictured right, is a casual observer of the world that surrounds him, he draws on its roots, it's past and present.
A story teller in the age-old tradition, a balladeer, poet and a writer of impressively prolific output, and with four studio albums released. Alex's songs are shaped, sculpted and coloured by the myriad experiences of his life, from his time spent travelling and absorbing various cultures across Europe and the Indian subcontinent, to his reclusive lifestyle in a tepee. His is a craft well-learned, and invested with depths of emotion and empathy that are unique.
Alex blends genres from baroque to blues, with a warm soulful voice, finger-style acoustic guitar, some fine lapsteel playing, bouzouki, and a stompbox to boot. His writing is honest and direct, uncompromising but often edgy. On stage he threads themes and stories into a timeless and captivating web of song.
Marchington Music Club starts at 5pm and runs until 7.30pm on Sundays. Details: 01283 820394 www.dogandpartridge.co.uk

As of Monday, August 5, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Gwinnett Braves left-hander Yohan Flande has been named the International League's Pitcher of the Week for the week of July 29 to Aug. 5, the league office announced Monday. The IL weekly award is the first for Flande, a veteran of three seasons with the G-Braves.
Flande, 27, went 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA (3 ER in 17.0 IP), no walks and 13 strikeouts across two starts last week. On July 29, he pitched a nine-inning complete game at Charlotte, allowing three runs, two earned, on eight hits as Gwinnett cruised to an 8-3 victory. That effort made him the first G-Brave to throw a nine-inning complete game since right-hander Julio Teheran did it on June 3, 2012, also at Knights Stadium.
On Sunday, Flande nearly went the distance again at Durham, pitching eight innings with a run on three hits, no walks and eight strikeouts. The outing secured his third-straight win and led the G-Braves to a 4-1 victory over the Bulls, the club's first win in 10 tries at Durham Bulls Athletic Park this year.
For the season, Flande is 7-6 with a 4.42 ERA (53 ER in 108.0 IP) in 26 games, 16 starts for Gwinnett. During his three-year career as a G-Brave dating back to 2011, he's 21-25 with a 4.19 ERA (183 ER in 392.2 IP) in 88 games, 62 starts.
Flande is the second Gwinnett player to win a weekly award this year, joining former G-Braves' right-hander Tim Corcoran (IL Pitcher of the Week, May 20-26).
The Gwinnett Braves open a five-game, four-day series against the Norfolk Tides in Norfolk, Va., on Monday night. The series opener will be a doubleheader at Harbor Park beginning at 6:05 p.m. In Game 1, the G-Braves will start right-hander Cody Martin (2-2, 2.89), while the Tides will counter with right-hander Eddie Gamboa (0-2, 7.58). Right-hander Joe Bisenius (3-4, 4.91) will start Game 2 for Gwinnett, while Norfolk has yet to announce a starter for the second game.
