Tommy Hubbard hasn't been able to practice much yet, but East Tennessee State's senior forward says a sprained shoulder won't keep him on the sidelines much longer.
"A couple more days and I'll be out there," Hubbard said Tuesday. "We're just being cautious, but I'm almost ready to go. I'm excited about being able to go to battle with these guys."
There might be less concern over Hubbard if he weren't such a key cog for this team. He's a fifth-year guy, one of three seniors, and he led the Bucs in scoring and rebounding two years ago.
Hubbard redshirted last season with knee problems.
Does his absence from practice, less than a week into the preseason, bother his head coach?
"It bothers me," said Murry Bartow. "This team has a lot of questions, and Tommy is one of our starters — one of the best players in the league. If he's sitting, that's not good."
Assuming he's on the floor by the end of the week, Hubbard expects to quickly pick up where he left off as a junior, when he averaged 13.9 points and 8.2 rebounds as the Bucs made the NCAA tournament. In the coaches' eyes, he's also the team's best defender.
Hubbard was never himself last season, limping through four games after knee surgery before being shut down.
"I think I'll be able to do more stuff than two years ago," he said, "and I had a pretty decent season then. But this isn't about Tommy Hubbard. This is about team, and doing whatever it takes."
That said, this team has a different look now that Mike Smith and Micah Williams, two other five-year guys, have moved on, along with starting guard Justin Tubbs.
Hubbard had expected to go out with them. Now he's the grizzled veteran on a team with four newcomers and two other redshirts – guards Jarvis Jones and Ryan Woumn.
"Myself and the seniors have been here awhile, and we have to be more vocal," said Hubbard. "Everybody's role becomes bigger. I do like the chemistry of this team."
It's a smallish team, with the 6-4, 210-pound Hubbard playing power forward and Isiah Brown (6-8, 210) starting at center. Recruiting did not yield any extra beef, which means juniors J.C. Ward and Lukas Poderis will be counted on heavily for productive minutes in the frontcourt.
The Bucs were picked second, behind Belmont, in the Atlantic Sun Conference preseason polls.
"This is a team with good speed, a team with athleticism," said Bartow. "We'll be small when Tommy is at the 4 and Isiah at the 5. Offensively we'll be hard to guard, but defensively we'll have to get more creative."
The Bucs will be on public display Thursday night during the annual Bluenanza festivities in the Dome. The basketball action begins at 7.

Lessons linger from journey to Japan
Thank you, Pikachu.
And arigato to Totoro, Kiki, Princess Mononoke and all the other comic book (manga) and animated (anime) cartoon characters that lured our daughters, as children, into a fascination with Japanese culture that would take them, as young adults, to live in the Land of the Rising Sun.
We were interested in the place as well, of course, but it was our yearning to reunite with our girls that carried my wife Jo Ann and me to Japan in November.
Our older daughter, Carson, is in her second year as an assistant English language teacher on Amami, a subtropical island hundreds of miles south of the Japanese mainland, almost down to Okinawa.
Austen, a Japanese language major at a college in Minnesota, lives with a terrific host family in Tokyo and commutes to classes at Waseda University, where she'll study through July on the mother of all junior years abroad.
Jo and I visited only a couple of weeks, but it proved a singular experience that's left both of us looking at the world, our own culture and even our offspring with fresh eyes.
It began in Tokyo, as we shuffled like zombies off a 13-hour Delta flight from Detroit, over Canada, Alaska and the Bering Strait, down to Tokyo's Narita International Airport. The neatly dressed Japanese airline and customs personnel set the tone for our arrival, attending to us quickly, courteously and conscientiously with smiles, bows and quiet assurances.
A moment we'd waited 15 months for came minutes later, when we embraced Carson, who greeted us with a handmade "Welcome to Japan" sign. Our reunion with Austen came a train ride later, when she met us near our hotel in Tokyo's older Asakusa area. In a refreshing role reversal, we put ourselves in our daughters' hands for the remainder of our trip, relying upon their planning and language skills in a place where we couldn't read a map, a menu or a street sign.
Even in the throes of serious jet lag, the next few days with our daughters as in-country guides left remarkable first impressions of a fascinating culture.
One of the first was the courtesy, friendliness and generosity of nearly everyone we encountered, from the railway concierge who helped us figure out connections and transfers to the dapper young businessman we stopped on his way home from work to ask directions to our hotel. "Would I have your permission to take you there?" he asked. He wound up spending 20 minutes walking us a half-dozen blocks to our hotel, smiling and talking to Carson and Austen all the way. Similar experience would follow in different cities, settings and scenarios a half-dozen times over the next couple of weeks.
Some other impressions involved size and volume. At just over 6'2", I couldn't help feeling at times as if I just literally didn't fit in. I had to bend my legs to fit into the double bed shoehorned into our closet-sized hotel room in Asakusa, I could barely stand in the mini-bathroom and the mirror was so low I had to kneel on the floor to shave.
And the volume of bodies was like nothing I'd experienced. Rivers of cars, bicycles, buses and pedestrians coursed through the streets near Asakusa Station. Parades of students packed the alleys of a street festival at Waseda University. And beneath the glow of billboard-sized electronic displays lighting up the surrounding skyscrapers, a sea of pedestrians flooded the five-way intersection with each signal change at Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing, said to be the busiest intersection in the world.
The most amazing thing about it was that nobody seemed to even brush a sleeve against those passing from the other direction, much less collide. And they wove through the throng without raising a voice. We would later read that phenomena like American "road rage" are unknown in Japan.
And speaking of bodies, we couldn't help noticing the absence of overweight, much less obese people. I don't know how much heredity, all that walking and pedaling and the traditional Japanese diet may factor in, but, other than in pictures of sumo wrestlers, we just never saw any heavyweights anywhere we went in Japan.
We consumed plenty of wonderful food there, and saw lots more, from the amazingly realistic-looking fake food displayed outside restaurants everywhere to an electronic diet of television shows all about food — eating it, not cooking it, said Austen — served up daily on Japanese television.
We ate our first meal in Tokyo — a soul-satisfying broth with thin slices of flavorful pork — in a cheap, 10-seat ramen noodle shop down the street from our hotel. Later we ate takoyaki (fried dough balls with octopus in the center, sprinkled with fish flakes and dried seaweed), okonomiyaki (a savory kind of pancake diners cook for themselves on a grill set into the restaurant table), and shabu shabu (a blend of thinly sliced meats and vegetables we cooked for ourselves in a pot of broth simmering at our table). The shabu shabu was a splurge that set us back about $150.
At first we thought the prices a bit steep in some restaurants, but when you consider that you don't tip in Japan — not cabdrivers, not doormen, not restaurant servers — the prices seem more reasonable. Yet, wherever we went, the staff served us with friendly, conscientious attention.
Tokyo showed us Japan at its flashiest and most stylish. Bright lights, gleaming buildings and a parade of attractive young people dressed in the latest fashions made us sometimes feel we were surrounded by models. We also saw glimpses of the old, however, from a 7th-century Buddhist temple a block from our hotel to the centuries-old Hama-rikyu garden set against the Tokyo skyline.
That contrast between new and old was even more dramatic, however, in our next stop, Kyoto.
We streaked into Kyoto at 180 miles per hour on the shinkansen, better known in English as the bullet train. There, a gleaming new taxi took us into the past — or as close as the driver could get us. He apologized about having to drop us off at an alleyway, explaining that his car wouldn't fit down the narrow, twisting lane, so we'd have to walk the final steps to our ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn based on designs dating back to the 17th century.
Our host, Mrs. Uemura, greeted us at the door, where we left our shoes and stepped into soft slippers to enter her home. She pushed back a sliding panel to reveal our room, lined with more sliding panels in wooden tracks. Cushions surrounded a low, lacquered table set on the woven reed tatami mats that covered the floor. Later, futon mattresses would appear on the mats for us to sleep on.
As we toured the house, Carson explained the footwear etiquette in a traditional Japanese ryokan. Street shoes stayed outside, in a paved foyer. Slippers went on for the wooden hallways and dining area, but we were to slip into communal plastic "toilet shoes" when using the shared toilets. We were to stay in stocking feet on the tatamis, and go barefoot in the bathroom, a completely tiled space with a handheld shower nozzle and a small covered hot tub. We were only to soak in it after washing with soap and rinsing thoroughly in the shower.
The ryokan's toilet rooms had conventional flush toilets, which we were relieved to find. We would encounter some traditional "squat" toilets — seatless, flushable porcelain pans set into the floor — in Kyoto, as well as some of the most modern commodes on the planet, with heated seats and an arm with water jet activation buttons I was afraid to touch.
A short walk from our ryokan we continued our climb back into history, up the winding cobble lanes and stone stairs of what is known at Teapot Alley. Along the way we passed young men pulling rickshaws, young couples posing for pictures in traditional and contemporary wedding costumes, and young women in full geisha costume.
Teapot Alley leads up to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a massive Buddhist temple founded in 780, built entirely with timber joinery, without a single nail. It's a nationally renowned site often filled with school tours. While in Kyoto we also visited Kinkaku-ji, the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, and Ryoanji, known for its Zen rock garden created by a monk in about 1500. Visitors there that day included a group of women in traditional geisha garb, taking pictures on smartphones.
We saw more blending of the old and new, later, at the ultramodern Kyoto Station, a steel-and-glass temple to transportation, commerce and art. Its skyway features vertigo-inducing views of the city skyline and mountains and a wide, cascading staircase that doubles as the stage for a magnificent light show at night.
Kyoto Station also houses scores of stores and restaurants, including a kaiten-zushi, where an array of fresh sushi rides an endless conveyor belt that carries each dish past each diner. You simply take what you like and pay for each plate stacked before you, when you're finished. This inexpensive dining alternative worked out to about $10 per person.
While in Kyoto we made a nighttime pilgrimage to Fushimi Inari, a Shinto shrine distinguished by the thousands of red torii gates that form tunnels snaking up the mountain, past more than 30,000 little shrines. We got lost a couple times, but emerged at the top for a spectacular view of the city lights.
Our Kyoto visit included a walk through the Sagano bamboo forest that leaned into the sky like the arches of a gothic cathedral, a traditional geisha show and a visit to a mountain shrine built around giant, centuries-old cedars. We also soaked in Kurama onsen, an outdoor public bath fed by natural hot springs, where I solemnly exchanged business cards with a naked Malaysian university professor.
A train and a plane carried us from Kyoto to Koniya, a small city at the bottom of Amami, the 38-mile-long island where Carson helps teach English to high school students. Like the islands around it, Amami is a densely forested, steeply pitched piece of volcanic real estate rising from the ocean. Sand and stone beaches line its undulating coastline, and its winding, climbing roads sometimes disappear into long concrete tunnels that worm through the mountains.
For all its beauty, it can be a treacherous place, menaced by periodic typhoons and landslides, and its natural inhabitants include habu, deadly venomous pit vipers.
Carson loves it, however, and after a couple of days we could see why. We were swept up in the exotic natural beauty of the place, of course, but even more by the welcome we received from our daughter's community of friends and colleagues.
Eighteen people, including other English teachers and Japanese friends, treated us to a Welcome to Amami dinner, featuring nabe (another cook-it-yourself, tabletop hot pot dinner), beer and personal introductions from everyone, all creatively translated from Japanese to English or English to Japanese by our daughter.
Jo and I joined Carson and her friends for a road race on the neighboring island of Kakeroma (Carson ran the half-marathon, I did the 10K event and Jo walked the 5K course).
A couple days later we attended an English class at her high school. In fact, we were the lesson. Students reported to us, in English, on the island's history, culture, animals and food, and one student played a traditional island tune on a shamisen, a three-stringed instrument that looked like a koto with habu skin stretched across its belly. Then they took turns asking us questions, which included (to me) "How tall are you?" and a request for an American joke.
Saying goodbye to Carson was difficult, but we looked forward to seeing her sister once more in Tokyo before our departure. We managed a farewell dinner with Austen, in Narita, after enjoying an unplanned bonus. It turns out our final hotel, chosen for its proximity to the airport, was also within walking distance of some of the best shops and one of the most beautiful temple sites of our trip.
We spent our last day in Japan picking up omiyage (gifts) for family and friends at home, and visiting Naritasan Shinshoji temple and the surrounding gardens.
We happened to arrive just in time to follow a line of colorfully robed Buddhist monks into the temple. There we witnessed a ceremony that included drumming, chanting, clanging cymbals, incense and a blazing altar fire used, apparently, to bless purses, handbags, shopping bags and even umbrellas visitors draped over monks' outstretched arms.
It was an enchanting conclusion to a remarkable journey that we're still processing.
Even after two weeks in Japan, we experienced reverse culture shock upon our return. It struck us as soon as we arrived in Detroit's airport, to be greeted by customs and security employees who seemed bored with their jobs and annoyed by the people they hollered instructions at and herded like cattle through the gates.
As we waited for our flight to Evansville, we found ourselves back among overweight people gulping down huge portions of sugar-saturated, deep-fried foods as they barked into cellphones.
We've had six weeks to reacclimate, but it's been difficult, in part because we miss our daughters in Japan.
We're proud and reassured to see how successfully both have adapted to such a different culture in such a distant land. None of that even seemed imaginable when they were growing up in Posey County, collecting Pokemon cards and watching anime videos.
Carson has discussed signing up for a third year in her program, and Austen is already talking about returning to Japan after she graduates from college.
If they do, we'll likely make a return visit. I don't imagine we'll ever live there, ourselves, but we wish our own culture could be a little more like Japan's.

The Game Mass Effect 3 Is Coming Soon, Not S3D-Ready Though
Just about two weeks are left before the game Mass Effect 3 gets released and while the hopes for it performing well in stereoscopic 3D mode it seems that the game won't be very playable in it when launched. That of course does not make ME3 a game not worth playing, but we should most likely play it in non-stereo 3D mode at least for the initial launch, just don't get your hopes too high that there might be an official patch to improve things later on. I'll play Mass Effect 3 for sure, just like I did with the two previous versions, it would've been nice to play it in stereo 3D mode as the game could've looked great, but that won't stop me from playing it in plain 3D modeâ?¦
ME3 is a game that would just benefit extra from good stereoscopic 3D support, but even without the perfect S3D support it is still something worth playingâ?¦ unlike some other games that even if they may look good in stereo 3D mode could still be crap. The good news is that not all hope is lost and even if game developers are still not paying too much attention to the constantly growing stereo 3D gaming community, the members of that community are trying to find a way to make things better and more compatible. One such thing that may help people get better results when playing games with not so good stereo 3D support is the DirectX 9 DLL wrapper tool developed by Helix. This is essentially a tool that would allow the easy removal of problematic pixel and vertex shaders in stereo 3D mode by the user, so that a specific game can look better and have less issues in S3D mode. And for some more advanced users it can allow not only the easier removal method, but also the harder editing of existing shaders to make them render properly in stereo 3D mode. User developed tools like this can help us get what the game developer could not deliver, although even with them there is no guarantee that every issue can be resolved, at least tools like that can help us get better results. So with the help of tools like Helix's DX9 DLL wrapper we may get the chance to enjoy games that have issues in stereo 3D mode with less of these present, so the experience could be improved. And you as a member of the stereoscopic 3D gaming community can also help by using the DLL wrapper and sharing the shader modifications that you can make with itâ?¦
You can check this Helixmod Wiki for some stereo 3D game fixes based on the DX9 DLL wrapper mentioned above that were made by other S3D games like you. And if you want to try the tool yourself, you are welcome to do so and of course also share your modifications with everyone else that might be interested in using them, especially if you have some experience with vertex and pixel shader programming. If you are interested you can find more information about Helix's DX9 DLL wrapper and how to use it here. And if that is something that does not interest you that much or is too hard for you, just check out the modifications shared by other users, you might find something useful.
Getting back on the topic about the upcoming ME3 game, if you are a big fan like me and cannot wait for the new installment to become available, you can check out the Mass Effect 3 Contest currently being held by Nvidia. You might be able to win some cool hardware if you have a good knowledge of the Mass Effect world and show it in the Mass Effect 3 Trivia Sweepstakes, just have in mind that participation is limited to only some countries ' United States, Nederlands, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Brasil, Czech Republic and Australia.

The Dons require a point from Saturday's home clash with Walsall to secure fourth place and the home advantage in the play-off second leg against Huddersfield.
But Robinson will field his strongest side to face the Terriers on as big a roll as possible.
"I think next week I want to play as strong (a team) as I can," he told MK News.
"I want to lead up to the play-offs with more momentum, and start working on a couple of things.
"It would be a different set of circumstances for me as a manager having the second leg at home - it's important to get that slight advantage."

The band has been playing a lot of outdoor festival type things lately if that makes a difference.
Down the road I will purchase more mics as necessary, but for now, I would just like to know how to best use this mic kit for overall sound. I really want to get away from borrowing stuff and relying on others.
So what is the best way to use three 57s and a 52?
I've mixed bands using a bass drum mic, a snare drum mic and one overhead a lot and have gotten lots of compliments using that minimal set up. So try that. If you got a good pencil condenser for your overhead that'd be even better but what you have will do.
Try experimenting and working what you have more. There will always be more to buy and a pit to throw your money in ;)

Nas is unapologetically honest about what he's experienced in his life. His music explores the good, bad and ugly. After much controversy over the details he disclosed in "Daughters," the video has arrived. It's chill and mellow like the soulful track. The third single from his forthcoming album Life Is Good gives a small glimpse into Nas' private life as a father. Directed by Chris Robinson, the video begins with the birth of Nas' daughter Destiny. Although an actress plays her role, Destiny makes a cameo at the end proving everything is all good with her and pops.
Like Nas' songs, the video tells a story. We see the various stages of Nas being a father, from him enjoying being a new dad to his daughter growing into a teenager doing mischievous teenage things. Girl grows up, she's boy crazy and she's negatively influenced by her peers, which leads to poor decisions. One of those decisions being the notorious twitter debacle where Nas' 17-year-old daughter tweeted a box of condoms on her nightstand. In real life. Since he rapped about the incident in the song he chose to visually show a reenactment of it in the video. Hopefully that awkward moment serves as a cautionary tale for other teenage girls.
Even the hardest of dads can relate to the disappointment and anxiousness of watching your little girl grow up too fast. And what good dad doesn't want to protect their precious baby girl from the the world that awaits her? We're happy Nas and Robinson chose to go the concept route with this video instead of having something that went so far left it wouldn't fit the song. Styled by June Ambrose we see the classic Nas style– simple, clean cut, not too over the top. If the three singles Nas has dropped so far are an indication of what Life Is Good shall bring on July 17, we're guessing it's another classic. Let's toast to the good life.

Third Party Involvement
Third Party individuals who are contacted by a person affected by a bias-motivated incident or hate crime should encourage that person to:
- Contact Campus Security and/or law enforcement to file a report.
- Report the incident to the Safe Zone Coordinator (link to email)
If the victim wishes to speak only to the Third Party, then the Third Party should:
A. Ascertain whether the victim needs immediate medical assistance. Ask the victim directly if he/she is all right physically and call 911 for immediate medical assistance as needed.
B. Find out the victim's most critical concerns and respond in a non-judgmental way. Recommend appropriate resources for the victim and feel free to consult with the Safe Zone Coordinator for additional guidance. Victims can remain anonymous. If the victim requests anonymity, respect that wish.
C. Remember, the person affected may wish to do nothing further, other than have a conversation with the Third Party.
D. Report the incident to Campus Security (names of victims are not required) so the college can comply with legal reporting requirements.

David Moyes' side could have taken control of Group A but saw Robin van Persie hit the post from the penalty spot, having hit the woodwork moments earlier, while Javier Hernandez somehow failed to find the net from six yards out with the goal at his mercy.
Marouane Fellaini saw red in the closing moments and United player-coach Giggs, who was making his 950th appearance for the club, felt they were unfortunate not to claim a rare victory in Spain.
Giggs told Sky Sports: "It was a good performance and I was just disappointed we didn't get the three points, we had the chances and on another day we would have won the game.
"It happens, you probably don't see Robin and Chicharito miss two chances like that in a game, but it happens, they are two great goalscorers, on another day they go in and we win the game.
"We had a great chance to open up a big lead, but we're still top, it's still in our hands and we always fancy ourselves at home.
"We showed some good stuff and on another day we would have won. I think we controlled the game and I think it was good preparation for a very good Arsenal team at the moment."

May 15, 2009
LARAMIE, Wyo. - The University of New Mexico men's and women's track and field teams appear right at home at the highest Division I track stadium in the country. New Mexico picked up six all-conference medals, including senior Whitney Johnson's stunning victory in the women's pole vault, today on the first full day of competition at the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Championships at Wyoming's Louis S. Madrid Sports Complex.
The balanced men's team scored in virtually every finals event, with several athletes placing well above their seed, en route to a third place score of 44 - just two behind host Wyoming and 39 off first place BYU - through seven event finals. New Mexico also saw nearly all of its preliminary competitors advance to Saturday's finals, including seniors Jermaine McQueen and Jarrin Solomon who combined to clock the fastest times of the day in the 100, 200, and 400 meters.
The women's team received a big boost from Johnson and 10,000m runners Michelle Corrigan and Nicky Archer to finish the day in third place with 34.5 points.
Johnson was the story of the day for the Lobos as she joined Bridgid Isworth (2004) as the second woman in UNM history to capture a conference pole vault title. Johnson, who entered the meet tied with two other women for the third-best jump in the league this season, cleared a facility record 12' 11 ½" (3.95m) - her best performance since she set the UNM outdoor pole vault record as a sophomore in 2006.
The fifth-year senior from Mission Viejo, Calif. had never finished higher than fourth in the MWC outdoors and hadn't medaled since a third place finish in her MWC debut at the 2005 Indoor Championships. Top-ranked Kari McAllister, a junior from BYU, was second with a jump of 12 7 ½" (3.85m).
Shortly after clearing 13 feet as a sophomore Johnson suffered a freak training accident that resulted in major knee surgery and nearly decimated her career. After taking a medical redshirt year in 2007 she had struggled to approach 12' 6" before this spring's breakthrough campaign.
Junior teammate Aditi Majumdar added half a point in the event, tying for eighth and scoring for the first time in her career with a jump of 11' 1 ¾" (3.40m).
The New Mexico men and women were oustanding in the final track event of the day, the first 10,000-meter race ever held at the Madrid Sports Complex. Running at a daunting 7,168 feet above sea level in Laramie, the men's trio of junior transfer Jacob Kirwa, senior Mat Ashton, and sophomore Brock Hagerman piled up 17 points in the event.
Kirwa finished second to earn all-MWC honors for the first time on the track with an altitude-adjusted time of 30:51.38 - just 1.25 seconds behind the winner, BYU's Stephen Shay. Ashton turned in his finest MWC track performance, placing fourth with an adjusted time of 30:54.74 - 2.3 seconds ahead of his teammate Hagerman, who was fifth.
Later, the women's tandem of Corrigan and Archer combined for 14 points and a pair of all-MWC medals as Corrigan grabbed silver and Archer took the bronze. UNM had never finished higher than fourth in the MWC women's 10K prior to tonight.
Corrigan finished just 3.27 seconds behind BYU's Cecily Lemmon with an altitude adjusted time of 35:32.70, while Archer crossed in an altitude adjusted 36:13.76.
Senior Domnick Meadows sparked the Lobos early with a third place finish in the long jump. Meadows picked up the first outdoor medal for UNM in the men's long jump since 2006 with a leap of 23' ¾" (7.03m). It was the fourth career all-MWC medal, but third this year for the Albuquerque Del Norte product. Meadows was the runner-up in the long and triple jumps this year at the MWC Indoor Championships.
New Mexico freshman Ty Kirk was seventh with a mark of 21' 9" (6.63m) in his first collegiate long jump competition. The wide receiver for the Lobo football team is the MWC's top-ranked triple jumper, which will be held tomorrow.
In other early finals action, sophomore Alex Willis turned in the best performance of his young career, finishing six spots above his seed and becoming the 20th Lobo to qualify for the NCAA regional meet with a sixth place finish in the 3,000m steeplechase. Willis' altitude-adjusted time of 9:03.56 was nearly seven seconds faster than his previous best, the fastest by a Lobo since 1988, and moved him into eighth on the UNM all-time performers list.
It was also the highest finish by a Lobo in the MWC steeplechase. New Mexico hadn't scored in the event in four years and had never placed better than eighth at the MWC Championships.
UNM added nine points in the high jump behind all-conference honoree Brandon Simpson and senior Josh Cosio. Simpson, a freshman from Albuquerque Cibola High School, tied for third and matched his best mark of the year with a jump of 6' 6 ¾" (2.00m), giving the Lobos an all-MWC medalist in the even for the sixth time in the past eight years. Cosio, an Albuquerque Manzano product, tied for fifth (6' 4 ¾" - 1.95m) in his final collegiate competition.
Junior Matthew Henry-Marshall represented the Lobos well in the throws, scoring for the second straight year in the discus (seventh) and for the first time in the hammer (sixth).
After fouling on all three attempts in the hammer last year, Henry-Marshall uncorked a career-best throw of 174' 7" (53.21m) to finish five spots above his seed. It was the best finish by a Lobo in the event since 2000 and he was the first to score since 2004. The Albuquerque High School product capped his day with a mark of 161' 9" (49.30m) in the discus to match his ranking entering the meet.
Back on the women's side, senior Stasia Ploskonka recorded the highest finish by a Lobo in the MWC women's 3,000m steeplechase, taking fourth with an altitude-adjusted time of 11:18.86. The Albuquerque Manzano product finished four spots above her seed.
UNM picked up five points in the women's long jump as junior Alesha Walker finished fifth (19' 11" - 6.07m) and sophomore Asal Salehpoor placed eighth (18' 11 ¾" - 5.78m). Senior Brittany Smith was 10th (18' ¼" - 5.49m) as UNM became the only school in the league with three top-10 long jumpers, despite missing two of its biggest threats in Deanna Young and Sandy Fortner (both redshirting).
Preliminary RacesNew Mexico's Jermaine McQueen sent a clear message to the rest of the league that he is indeed for real, clocking the fastest times of the day in both the 100 and 200 meters.
McQueen's altitude-adjusted 10.37 in the 100 (10.31 raw) was the third-fastest in MWC Championships history and moved him up to second on the UNM all-timer performers list. He came back a few hours later to clock an adjusted 20.99 (20.87 raw) in the 200, becoming the fifth man in Lobo history to run under 21 seconds in the event.
School record holder Gabriel Okon was New Mexico's last conference champion in the short sprints, sweeping 1987 Western Athletic Conference titles in both the 100 and 200. The Lobos have only medaled once in the 100 at the MWC meet (Quincy Wright, second in 2002) and have finished second twice in the 200 (Ahmed Raji, 2003 and Larry Davis, 2001).
Freshman Thomas Trujillo also had a solid day, joining McQueen in the finals with a season-best adjusted time of 21.42 (21.30 raw) in the 200 and adjusted 10.72 (10.66 raw) in the 100. The Rio Rancho, N.M. product moved up two spots from his seed to claim the eighth and final qualifying spot in the 200.
Senior Jarrin Solomon, meanwhile, clocked the fastest time of the day in the 400 prelims, cruising across the line with an adjusted time of 47.80 (47.59 raw). Solomon has won the last two MWC 400 races he's participated in. He won the 2007 Outdoor crown, then returned from a redshirt year to win the 2009 Indoor title in February.
Fellow senior Lee Emanuel, the 2008 MWC 1,500m champion, also had no trouble in the preliminary round of the 800. Emanuel captured heat two with ease with an adjusted time of 1:54.24. Sophomore teammate Ryan Steadman recorded the third-fastest time of the day in heat one, crossing in an altitude-adjusted 1:53.42. New Mexico hasn't had a conference champion in the 800 since 1983.
Junior Ashley Gibson secured her place in the women's 1,500 finals with the third-fastest time of the day, an adjusted 4:49.98. Gibson will look to be the first Lobo to score in the event since 2004.
Later, senior Andrea Wright ran the fourth-fastest 800, an adjusted 2:16.66, as she attempts to be the first UNM woman to score in the event since 2005. Alesha Walker became the Lobos' first 100-meter finalist in three years with an adjusted time of 12.00 (11.94 raw), while fellow junior Kim Perkins moved on to the 400 hurdles finals for the second straight season. Perkins' adjusted time of 1:01.45 (1:01.24 raw) was the fifth-fastest of the day.
Saturday's event finals get underway at noon and are expected to wrap up by 4 p.m.

Below is the poem entitled Red Beard which was written by poet
Welch. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
David Welch
Red Beard laughed at this lad
Stumbled on the wrong ship he had
Stowing away on a pirate vessel
Turned himself in not even a wrestle
Stout young lad must be at least ten
He wasn't sure of the trouble he was in
To the plank cast him aside!
Then the boys knees buckled….he cried
Red Beard yanked him up and stared deep
Some use of this boy, if I want to keep
To the crew or to the sea? Red Beard thought
A pupil to over see if well taught
"Take him below!" are his orders
"Food and water in my quarters"
The boy moved quickly at the thought of food
Take his mind off of his saddened mood
A feast laid before his weary eyes
Hot bread and large chicken thighs
Warm milk and cool fresh water too was in store
He ate and ate till he couldn't anymore
It was eve before the Captain appeared
The boy was asleep his mind without fear.
Into his arms the boy went
Carried to the cot for his rent
An orphan too, was this pirate knave
Maybe this child he could save
Schooling was what first struck his mind
A great teacher was hard to find
Sailing and piracy was all he knew
"I want more for this lad. A start anew."
…..A rapping came to the cabin door
Urgent business he had to make sure
"What is it?" Bellowed a voice
"A British flag and jack a hoist!"
A war galleon was on the horizon
A battle was on the rising

He's also listed in Wikipedia under its hi hat entry, which seems odd:
"Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones uses a technique in which he does not play the hi-hat in unison with the snare drum at all. If playing a standard 8th note pattern, he will play the hi-hat on 1 and 3 and not playing it on 2 and 4 where the snare drum is played."
I think it's trying to say he does not play the hats on the 2 and 4 in unison with the backbeat. The way it's written makes him sound like he's pounding out quarter notes like Meg :)
I noticed him not playing his hats on the 2 and 4 when I saw TRS live in 1978 on the Some Girls tour. I toyed with that style here and there. He does not like having to compete for the space with both hands playing crossover. I have to admit I sometimes hit my left stick with my right and cause a double hit. That happens when I play a set with small toms above the hat and the hat sitting lower and more to the front.

Biggest winner of the night: Gingrich, who lost no ground during his first debate as frontrunner. Romney loses ground. His $10k bet line will haunt him even if he was right about Perry misquoting him. It's clear that Romney picked a bad time to have his worst debate. Gingrich weathered the storm of being the center of attention well. Santorum was the best of the also-rans which might help him get a respectable showing in Iowa where he's been working so hard.
Debate ends. Last word went to Bachmann with her win-win-win nonsense.
Gingrich gives Santorum credit for speaking out on Iran. He's right. Santorum made it a central issue in his 2006 re-election campaign. Unfortunately, he' lost in a landslide.
Perry says Ron Paul got him interested in the Federal Reserve. Scary thought.
Santorum recalls that he was inspired to get into politics by listening to Newt Gingrich's tapes. Reminder of Newt's central role in GOP conservative politics in the 80s.
Perry repeats his ridiculous idea about a part-time Congress. Like making them do it in half the time will improve their performance.
Paul: All government power is the use of force. Gets to the heart of libertarian ideology.
Gingrich ignores pointed question about when he changed his mind to oppose the individual mandate and sticks to constitutional objections to a government having the power to make people buy anything.
Back to health care and the individual mandate. Romney reiterates his states rights defense of Romneycare.
Santorum turns the question into one about the importance of two parent families.
Ron Paul: My wife worked my way through medical school. Hysterical.
Romney: I didn't grow up but my dad did. Does that count? Then makes up for it by saying he saw how families were hurt by unemployment.
Question from the public about when was the last time you had to cut back? Perry leads off with memories of hardscrabble childhood. Did they have log cabins in Paint Creek?
At the second commercial break, it's clear Gingrich has got the Likud/ZOA vote locked up. Bachmann a respectable second. Romney scoring with the sober American Jewish Committee types.
Bachmann won't take sides between Gingrich and Romney but says Salam Fayyad fibbed to her about Palestinian textbooks no longer teaching Jew hatred. Wonder how many in the audience knew who she was talking about. (Yes, I'm talking about you, Herman Cain.)
Santorum one-ups Gingrich by saying the West Bank is Israeli land.
Gingrich says its time for America to have the courage to tell the truth about the Palestinians. Says his statement is no different from Reagan calling the Soviet Union the "evil empire." Bull's eye. Romney says he's making trouble for Israel and Bibi.
Romney says he agrees with Newt on everything except the "invented people." Then switches to blaming it on Obama.
Gingrich simply says what he said is historical true. Right on that. Responds to Saeb Erekat's statement by saying how he could tell the difference between his group and bin Laden. Blasts Palestinians for spreading hate about Jews.
Time to talk about Gingrich saying the Palestinians are "an invented people." Ron Paul responds first reminding us why he's no friend to Israel.
Romney swings hard to the right on immigration. He has to wonder why conservatives haven't made Gingrich pay for his plan. Answer: Gingrich is still a "not Romney."
Time for Newt to defend his immigration amnesty plan. Says it'll be like a draft board. What he says makes sense and is moral. It doesn't make sense that conservatives killed Perry for his deviation from orthodoxy on this issue but if they forgive Newt for this, it's real progress.
Newt plays defense on the infidelity issue by saying he made mistakes and that he asked God for forgiveness. Implies if God could forgive, what's your problem?
Romney defends the ad with his family. Says he needs to define himself and not let Obama do it. Reminder that Obama fears him most of all the GOP field.
Paul says marriage vows are important but so is the oath of office. Can't argue with him about that.
Santorum says character counts but admits it's not a disqualifying factor since people make mistakes. Camera pans to Newt who is working hard not to change his expression.
George Stephanopolous opens up the marital fidelity issue. Perry talks about his vow to God as well as his wife: "If you cheat on your wife, you'll cheat on your business partner."
At the first break, one thing is clear: so far this has not been a good night for Romney. Bachmann and Santorum looking feisty. Gingrich looking confident. Romney holding on by his fingernails.
Bizarre moment. First commercial break in the debate shows 2008 GOP contender Fred Thompson trying to hornswaggle senior citizens into getting a reverse mortgage. Who knows where this bunch will be in four years? Selling insurance?
Santorum takes credit for sending Dan Rostenkowski to jail 20 years ago. Newt probably thinking who remembers him even being in the House then?
Santorum reminds Newt that not all conservatives backed the individual mandate in 1994. True.
Santorum reminds Newt that not all conservatives backed the individual mandate in 1994. True.
Romney cornered by Perry on his defense of health care bill in his book offers him a $10,000 bet that he isn't right. Not his finest moment.
Romney defends Romneycare as the epitome of the 10th amendment. Then compares his mandate to Perry's mandatory vaccine. Uh, not quite the same thing, Mitt.
Newt tries to refute Bachmann on his support on the individual mandate. But she's right about his record. Romney seems to enjoy the fact that she's put Newt in the same Obamacare doghouse as him.
Bachman blasts Newt Romney. Tries to brand them both as RINOs.
Ron Paul hits Gingrich hard on his Freddie Mac loot as a lobbyist. Ouch. Gingrich's response doesn't quite answer it.
Concerning his 94 defeat, Romney gets a laugh by saying if he had made it to the NFL he'd have been a football player. Then reinforces his identity as a private sector guy who learned better lessons there for the presidency than he would have had in the Senate.
Newt's rebuttal of Romney's litany of his dumb ideas is calm and effective.
Newt's right about the "career politician" charge. If Mitt had beaten Teddy Kennedy in 1994, he'd be finishing his 17th year in the Senate.
What does Gingrich believe in that Romney doesn't? Lunar colonies. Mitt's intent is to emphasize Newt's goofiness. Cheap shot but effective.
Ron Paul wants to cut federal spending by dismantling the embassy in Baghdad? Self satire.
Romney gets in the first shot of the night at Obama's golf vacation.
Bachmann plays the adult in the room by insisting that the payroll tax cut is financial nonsense.
Bachmann: "When you open the general treasury, the only things that come out are moths and feathers."
Diane Sawyer is easily the most unctuous debate moderator we've had yet.
Santorum leads off with an attempt to remind Iowans that he's been spending most of the last few months hanging out there. Doubles down by concluding with a mention of the needs of rural regions.
Perry reminds us he's an outsider. Bachmann reminds us Herman Cain isn't there and then replaces his 9-9-9 with "win, win, win." Huh?
The candidates are wisely avoiding Sawyer's attempt to trap them in a number of jobs they can create.
Gingrich and Romney start off with safe attacks on Obama and taxes.
Newt leads off with the first mention of Ronald Reagan and class warfare.
People are telling Diane it's time to choose? No kidding. And they're interested in jobs? No!
Why is Diane Sawyer speaking as if we're supposed to sympathize with the candidates because they've been working so hard?
The debate is about to begin. Interesting difference between ABC and the cable debates: no pregame show.

sheet of glass, as the rain pours down on the street. I see them but they hardly even
notice me. Another cold winter has come and gone for me, life in this Big City ain't for
the weak. They look at me as if I was some kind of freak, as I bundle trying to keep
warm inside my filth laden sheets…I sometimes can't remember the last hot meal I did
happen to eat. As I dig through a dumpster in the alley behind some old fancy
restaurant whose name I can't even pronounce. A fifth grade education, if even that…I
see them, but they rarely ever see me. Lost here in the Big City this ain't no place for a
country born boy to be…yet I see them, but they rarely see me. My bones ache and
sometimes I can hardly see, no refuge from the hot summer's day heat…Look at them
all riding around in their air conditions cars with the music blasted so loud, I see them
but they rarely see me. Don't pay me any mind. I ain't mad at this old world or even
God… just upset with myself because I let the Big City life capture me and still my
youth. Still do what you always do when it comes to someone like me? Stare off at
someone else and just pretend as though you don't see me standing here, just asking
for some help. Yes, look away…because no matter what you do? I still see you.

Ghetto Drinks
After reading the article about the boxed wine revolution on the main page of Serious Eats, I started thinking about "ghetto" drinks and how popular they are with people my age.
I don't drink often, but when I do- watch out. My drinking has been referred to as "ghetto" on more than one occasion. My best friend and I buy pints of whiskey, sit in the parking lot of a bar and take shots out of the bottle so that we don't end up blowing our checking accounts once at the bar, which always charges too much. I've never walked into a bar sober.
Another friend of mine drinks Mad Dog 20/20, also referred to as "bum wine" and yet another friend mixes beer and liquor in the same cup and chugs it. I know too many girls who favor wine coolers and Boone's Farm, which is so watered down and sick I have no idea how they stomach it.
I'm sure all of you are more refined then my friends and I, but I thought I'd ask:
Do you favor any "ghetto" drinks? And vile, overly sweet novelty drinks like "fuzzy nipples" count!
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!
Check out this post for a more thorough explanation, and jump onto our Facebook page or our Twitter feed to keep the conversations going!

|Ferryboats to Nantucket Island, MA
|You can get to Nantucket by passenger or car ferry from Hyannis MA on Cape Cod; or passenger ferry from Harwich Port MA on Cape Cod, or from Martha's Vineyard island.
Nantucket Island is 30 miles (48 km) off the coast of Cape Cod (map), a voyage of about 1 hour for a fast catamaran passenger ferry, two hours for a traditional ferry, or 2-1/2 hours for a car ferry.
Nantucket Docks
Nantucket Town has two ferry docks a five-minute walk apart in the town center (map):
Steamboat Wharf
Vessels operated by the Steamship Authority from Hyannis, both car ferries and fast catamaran passenger ferries, arrive and depart from Steamboat Wharf at the eastern end of Broad Street.
Straight Wharf
Passenger ferries, both traditional and fast catamarans, operaged by Hy-Line Cruises (Hyannis and Martha's Vineyard) and Freedom Cruise Line (from Harwich Port) arrive at Straight Wharf at the eastern end of Main Street.
Passenger Ferries
In summer, passenger ferryboats run to Nantucket several times daily from the neighboring island of Martha's Vineyard MA, and from Harwich Port and Hyannis MA on Cape Cod.
A round-trip ferry voyage for two passengers, plus the fare for bicycles, plus car parking at the mainland ferry terminal for a few days, plus taxis to and from your hotel on Nantucket, can add up to $200 or so total, but taking your car on the ferry to Nantucket (see below) costs over twice as much and involves more planning.
If you need to park your car while visiting Nantucket, be sure to calculate the cost of parking for the time you will be away from the mainland. This cost may be $15 to $18 per calendar day in summer, less off-season.
From Hyannis
Hy-Line Cruises
Hy-Line Cruises, Ocean Street Dock, Hyannis, MA (map; tel 508-778-0404, 508-228-3949, 800-492-8082) operates both traditional ferries (2-hour voyage) and high-speed catamaran ferries (six departures daily, 1-hour voyage) daily between Hyannis's Ocean Street docks and Nantucket's Straight Wharf. More...
Steamship Authority
The Steamship Authority runs the passenger ferry Flying Cloud from Hyannis's Pleasant Street Dock (map) to Nantucket five times daily from mid-May through mid-October (four times daily from mid-March to mid-May and mid-October to early January). The voyage takes one hour. More...
From Harwich Port
Freedom Cruise Line
Freedom Cruise Line (tel 508-432-8999, 702 Main Street [MA Route 28], Harwich Port MA 02646) runs three trips daily from late June through early September to Nantucket from Saquatucket Harbor in Harwich Port on Cape Cod (map).
They voyage takes 80 minutes (compared to the 60-minute voyage of the Hy-Line Grey Lady and Steamship Authority Iyanough). Fares are a few dollars higher than the Iyanough, and a few dollars lower than the Grey Lady, but Freedom Cruise Line offers free parking for day-trippers (overnight parking is $17 per night).
From Martha's Vineyard
Hy-Line operates an Inter-Island Ferry service three times daily in each direction between Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket islands from late-June to mid-September. The voyage takes 2-1/4 hours. Buy tickets at the Dockside Marina in Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard (tel 508-693-0112) and on Straight Wharf, Nantucket (tel 508-228-3949). More...
Car Ferries
The Steamship Authority runs the only car ferries (m/v Nantucket and m/v Eagle) to Nantucket six times daily from Hyannis's Pleasant Street Dock (map). The one-way fare for a car (up to 17 feet/5.18 meters long) is $200 ($400 round-trip), more for a larger vehicle (17+ feet, such as a Chevrolet Suburban SUV).
Thus the entire round-trip fare for a family of four with a car will be over $500.
Advance reservations are essential in summer. More...
Most visitors do not take cars to Nantucket. They rent a car, bicycle or scooter there, or use the convenient shuttle buses. More...

Do I have to pay back a relocation allowance to my employer even though it is not in my contract?
I joined a new company about a year ago and they paid me a "relocation allowance". This was primarily to cover an existing clawback/debt from my previous employer. They called it a "relocation allowance" in order to claim a tax deduction.
They gave me an "offer letter" which stated that I would be paid a "relocation allowance" and said I would have to pay it back if I left them before being promoted. I did not sign this letter. I only signed an employment contract which does not mention the "relocation allowance".
Do I have to pay this amount back on the strength of the offer letter?

Yes. If it's in the offer letter. That's where it is considered legal and a binding agreement. You took the job after all.

You probably should get the advice of a lawyer here considering that they undoubtedly have lawyers on the payroll just waiting for something to do. Regardless, refusing to pay it, playing the "I never signed that" card or threatening them with legal action is not a good way to start a successful career with an employer. You might want to think of this in terms of winning the battle vs. losing the war. Perhaps you can offer to pay half. If they insist on the whole thing being paid back, your options are to 1) pay it, 2) seek legal action or 3) find a new job.

Does the employment contract state that the letter they sent re: relocation allowance is part of the contract? I find it hard to believe that they would simply write that off, especially since it was used to pay a debt YOU had from your prior employer.
I agree with the first poster that you have several options: (1) pay the entire amount back [try making a payment plan]; (2) negotiate to pay a lesser amount; (3) or hire an attorney. You need to realize, though, that attorneys are not cheap and if you sue and lose, your employment contract may state that you are responsible for the employer's attorneys' fees (many do).
You also need to realize that you will be blackballed by this company and if it's large and/or influential, it can probably have you blackballed in the industry as well.

I want to help everyone learn about Latvian history, and help other people with Latvian heritage connect to their roots.

Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-t-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed. My indifferent attitude to fashion was a constant thorn in her side. If I'd allow it, she'd love to dress me every day — perhaps several times a day — like some oversized three-dimensional paper doll.

The growth of Facebook exemplifies our connectedness. How do connected systems operate? This book beautifully explains the underlying ideas to a broad student audience and would be fascinating to many readers. The authors, a social scientist and a computer scientist, both at Cornell, require little background knowledge but include some more advanced mathematics in a number of end-of-chapter optional sections.
The seven major parts of three or four chapters each are Graph Theory and Social Networks, Game Theory, Markets and Strategic Interactions in Networks, Information Networks and the World Wide Web, Network Dynamics: Population Models, Network Dynamics: Structural Models, and Institutions and Aggregate Behavior. Each part is a mixture of background and applications. For example the Game Theory part includes chapters on Games, Evolutionary Game Theory, Modeling Network Traffic Using Game Theory, and Auctions. Each chapter in this and other parts includes interesting exercises at the level of a strong finite mathematics course.
The authors teach an introductory course using parts from each chapter. They suggest several other ways to use their text:
It would be very suitable as a motivating course for applied mathematics students who will understand some fascinating areas of growing importance as they learn the concepts needed to advance these fields.
This is a book that should be in every college library. Bright high-school students could start here too. It is a rare book that is neither trivial nor forbidding, with a rich wealth of material in areas that demand further exploration. Readers will no doubt find many ways to creatively incorporate these ideas into curricula or clubs and other activities at their institutions.
