SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - For the third straight game, the Cal State Northridge Matadors (13-17, 2-4 BWC) jumped out to an early lead, but the Cal Poly Mustangs (21-7, 3-3 BWC) responded with four runs of their own in the bottom of the first and held on for a 9-3 win.
TS Reed led off the game with a single to right field before stealing second base to put himself in scoring position.
Once Reed advanced to third on a Richard Cates single to left field, Ryan Pineda hit his teammate home as Mustang second baseman Matt Jenson could not handle Pineda's grounder cleanly, allowing Cates to advance to second on the play, giving CSUN a 1-0 lead.
Cal Poly would respond in the bottom half of the same inning as a lead-off triple helped jump-start a four run, four hit scoring spree that forced Matador starter Ryan "China" McCarney out of the game after only two-thirds of an inning.
When all was said and done, Cal Poly had all nine batters in the line-up reach the plate to take a 4-1 lead.
Northridge began chipping away at the Cal Poly lead starting in the third when Dominic D'Anna's sacrifice fly to deep center field drove home designated hitter John Parham who started the inning with a single to right field.
Cal Poly would regain their initial three-run advantage in the bottom half of the inning as two doubles to left and right-centerfield respectively helped the Mustangs build their lead back to a 5-2 margin.
CSUN's never-say-die attitude was in full effect as the game progressed as the men in red were able to decrease the Mustang lead to two runs in the very next inning thanks to some heads-up base-running by Jeff Pruitt.
After starting the inning with a single to left field, the Matador centerfielder stole his fourth base of the series before scoring on a single to the second baseman off the bat of Reed.
From the moment the ball left the bat, Pruitt raced towards third base, and when the Mustang second baseman made an unsuccessful throw to beat the speedy Reed to first base, Pruitt wasted no time and made the turn towards home.
Without breaking stride, Pruitt was more than half-way down the line before any Mustang realized what was happening on the opposite half of the diamond. A throw to home was made but Pruitt had already touched home plate before the Mustang catcher received the throw to make in a 5-3 ballgame.
No sooner had the scoreboard been lit for the Matadors when the Mustangs strung together a walk and back-to-back singles to bump the lead back to three runs.
That three run advantage would extend to six when the Mustangs put three on the scoreboard when Jenson hit a wind-aided shot to centerfield that ricocheted off the wall back towards home plate, enabling Cal Poly to clear the bases in the sixth inning to take a 9-3 lead.
That lead would grow to 11-3 in the eighth as Cal Poly tacked on another two runs on a two-out single that rolled and deflected off first base itself, making it impossible for any Matador to field cleanly in attempt to prevent two Mustangs from scoring.
Had the ball not struck the bag, D'Anna would have fielded the ball cleanly and recorded the third out of the inning as he put himself in the best possible position to keep the ball in front of his body and prevent anything from reaching the vast real estate in right field.
The Matadors now have a day off before traveling to downtown Los Angeles to face the USC Trojans in a non-conference match-up. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., with the game available on both radio and GameTracker online at www.GoMatadors.com
Matadors 101 100 000 - 3 10 2
Cal Poly 401 103 02x - 11 14 2
Win - Radeke (2-1) Loss - McCarney (0-2)

A disabled Murrells Inlet man, who was in a coma for six months, now has a place to live, thanks to young people who decided to give up part of their summer vacation to help fix peoples houses.
I am really blessed, said Joseph Joe Joe Myers of Turntable Road after the work was done on his house.
I prayed to God that somebody come and help me with my house and my prayers were answered. I want to thank everyone and I want them to know I appreciate everything.
Myers, a Murrells Inlet native, said he suffered a bad infection and was in a coma for six months after an operation to have his colon removed.
At the time, he was in the process of renovating his house, but was left unable to continue the work due to his disability.
He said he should be able to move into his house next week after electric work is completed.
Belin Memorial United Methodist Church welcomed 30 youth and 11 adults from around the state to the area from July 19 to 26 for the Creekside Salkehatchie Summer Service.
Salkehatchie is an annual program through the South Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Debbie Leonard, coordinator for the Creekside Salkehatchie Summer Service, said this was the first year Belin participated in the program, but she thinks it will be an annual event.
We had a great week, Leonard said.
We built or repaired porches and rotten steps, and replaced plumbing, flooring and roofs. Our motto is to make homes warmer, safer and dryer.
This is Leonards fourth year being involved with Salkehatchie.
She said there are 50 camps across the state over the summer with about 3,000 campers.
The group worked on four houses, including the Myers house and three houses between Murrells Inlet and Socastee.
When the group arrived at the Myers house, Leonard said, the house was basically gutted.
The group added walls and carpet, fixed the roof, put in a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom, and painted the inside and outside of the house.
Electricity and plumbing were installed by professionals.
They also brought furniture including a dining room set, armoire, lamps, end tables, microwave oven, appliances, coffee pot, plates and pots.
Sherry Harmon, an adult site leader at the Myers house, commented that everyone at the site worked hard.
Gray, 16, of Goldsboro, N.C., and Josh, 17, of Georgetown, both first timers with Salkehatchie, were putting up trim in the entrance to the living room.
Gray said his youth leader told him about the program and he thought it would be cool to build stuff and help people in need.
We helped change this mans life, Gray said.
Im glad I decided to do it. It has been a great experience.
Georgie, 16, of Lancaster, was painting in the kitchen.
This was her second time with Salkehatchie.
I think this is a good way to give back, she said while singing to a country song on the radio.
Chloe, 15, and Grace, 15, both of Camden, were with Salkehatchie for the first time and had no experience renovating houses.
They were also painting.
It is hard work, but fun too, Grace said.
I think it is better than sitting around at home, Chloe said.
It gives you a good feeling to help people and you get to try to do new things. We are learning as we go.
Kinley, 20, of Lancaster, said this was her fifth year with Salkehatchie.
This experience helps you appreciate what you have and where you came from, she said.
It helps you grow in your faith and your relationship with God.

Einsteinian error: The 25-year-old supernova that could change the speed of light forever June 24, 2014 at 12:02 pm
A new analysis of 25-year-old evidence may show that we've been wrong about the speed of light in a vacuum – and if true, that's big news for astronomers.
Newly discovered element 117 is a step toward useful super-heavy elements May 5, 2014 at 4:50 pm
The newest, heaviest element has been confirmed under laboratory conditions, and its synthesis could help produce even heavier cousins with all-new useful properties.
We've found the oldest star in the known universe – and it's right on our galactic doorstep February 12, 2014 at 8:13 am
Astronomers have discovered the oldest living star in the universe — and, remarkably, it's situated right on our galactic doorstep, just 6,000 light years away, well within the Milky Way. The star, which has the abbreviated name of SM0313, was born 13.6 billion years ago — just 100 or 200 million years after the Big Bang. It is believed that SM0313 is an elusive Population II star — a star that was formed from the remnants of one of the universe's very first supernovae. By using SM0313's spectrographic fingerprint as a baseline, we will hopefully be able to find more ancient stars, eventually allowing us to build up a better picture of what actually happened during (and before?) the Big Bang.
Supernova explodes nearby in the Cigar Galaxy, but don't worry, we're safe January 23, 2014 at 9:42 am
Yesterday morning, the world woke up to an exceedingly rare astronomical delight: A nearby star going supernova. Located in galaxy Messier 82 (M82, the Cigar Galaxy), just 11 million light years away, the supernova was first sighted by students at University College London on the night of January 21. It is the first supernova to be sighted from Earth in 20 years, and the first type Ia supernova in over 40 years, making this a particularly exciting time to be an astrophysicist. The supernova hasn't yet hit its peak and will get brighter over the next couple of weeks. Don't worry, though: Even at its peak, the supernova is far enough away that we don't need to worry about being bombarded with cosmic rays — if the supernova was here in our own galaxy, it would be a different story entirely.
The birth and death of stars, captured in a dramatic intergalactic photo November 27, 2013 at 11:21 am
You are looking at a stunning photo of the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the closest dwarf galaxies to the Milky Way. Captured by the ESO's Very Large Telescope, the photo shows an active region of stellar birth on the right, and the remnants of explosive stellar death — supernova — on the left. The VLT is the world's largest visible light telescope, so this photo is just about as good as it gets.

This column is going up toward the end of the sale, so some of the best prices for some may have come and gone, but between the voting, the flash sales, and the fact that Steam usually uses the last day or so to repeat some of the biggest sales, it's possible to get the best prices again even if you missed the first round.
The No-Brainers
BioWare's Dragon Age: Origins and Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic have both been 75% off in the daily/flash sales, and are 40% off generally. These are two of the defining role-playing games of their generations, and if you haven't played them, they're essentially mandatory. I have some issues with both games that stop me from being a super-fan, but they're definitely enjoyable.
I recommend the "Ultimate Edition" of Dragon Age, which comes with all the expansions. KOTOR is a standalone, but it also comes in a bundle with several other non-RPG Star Wars games, including classics like Jedi Knight, Jedi Academy, and Republic Commando, which is a superb deal for that collection.
The Hidden Bundle Deals
Each time Steam puts a major game up as a daily sale, it also puts other games within that series on sale as well. So when it had Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition 75% off, at $9.99, Fallout 3 was right behind it, with all its add-ons, for just $5. Likewise, when Fable III was on sale, so too was Fable: The Lost Chapters. I've never played a Fable game (and recognize that they're arguably not RPGs) but the first one was $2.50. You may have to search directly for predecessors during those sales, but they're there.
Maybe It's Not An RPG. Maybe It Is. It's Definitely Awesome
Sid Meier's Pirates! is quite possibly my favorite game of all time, and a potential future column. Is it an RPG? Is it an adventure? Action? Trading sim? Strategy? A little bit of each, and it's great because of that combination. It's 50% off, $5, right now. (Meanwhile, the previous versions of the game, Pirates! and Pirates! Gold, have been released at GOG.com. All three versions combine to demonstrate how a single amazing piece of game design can work through a variety of different eras.)
I'm also a fan of the new King's Bounty series. Although portrayed as a strategy game, where you recruit units and fight tactical battles with them, the single hero, leveling progression, and limits on number of different units are constrained enough that I'm willing to call it an RPG. Each of the three games in the series is 50% off, including the collection for $17.50. If you'd prefer to pick just one, Crossworlds is probably the best value.
The new Walking Dead episodic releases have been garnering a lot of buzz, and although I haven't played them yet, I'm planning on doing so soon. They're framed as traditional adventures, but that's not why they're relevant to this conversation. They're being held up as models of how to do moral choices that matter, instead of merely being aesthetic decisions. The Walking Dead has been as low as $15 for the "season" which currently has two episodes, and will have three more. I'm glad to see the morality aspect of RPGs moving outside of the genre and into other arenas.
Finally, strategy/puzzle/RPGs Puzzle Quest and Might & Magic Clash of Heroes are on sale, and both are excellent. There's also Bastion, a game that's inspired by Diablo and its ilk, but one which exchanges character development mechanics for beautiful visual and aural aesthetics (and my favorite game of 2011).
Forgotten Classics
I have published my love of Freedom Force before, and both it and its sequel, are 50% off (that's $3.75 for both). Divine Divinity only just got added to Steam, but it's a quality game, combining aspects of Diablo and Fallout. Finally, BioWare's least-discussed RPG, Jade Empire, is 50% off-I was put off by it the first time I tried it, but it has some very eloquent defenders, and I'm willing to give it another go.
Indie Gems
Jeff Vogel's Spiderweb Software has been publishing indie RPGs since before "indie" was a conventionally understood term. I've been playing Avernum: Escape From The Pit, and have been surprised by just how much I'm enjoying it. It's a combination of Ultima in exploration, the Gold Box games in combat, and a bit of modern RPGs in character customization. Between Avernum, Geneforge, and Avadon, Spiderweb is well-represented on Steam and in the sale – worth a look for RPG fans.
The Legend Of Grimrock is a throwback to games like Dungeon Master, Eye Of The Beholder, and Lands Of Lore. It's a subgenre that seemed to disappear entirely during the 2000s, yet Grimrock has won the sale votes and been quite high on the list of best-sellers. I struggle with this particular sub-genre, to be honest, but its combination of straightforward, difficult combat with increasingly twisty puzzles seems to be quite popular.
Two roguelikes, The Binding Of Isaac and Dungeons Of Dredmor are both 50% or more off, and both were already cheap. Isaac is an action game with a remarkable sacrilegious aesthetic, where Dredmor is a more traditional roguelike. I also highly recommend Costume Quest, Double Fine's Halloween-themed RPG. It's extremely simple, but effectively charming, and has been included in the overall Double Fine sale for 75% off. It's 50% off now.
Finally, I have to put in a good word for Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale. It's not a "Western" RPG, but since it's PC-only, it fits to some degree. This is half legitimately amusing JRPG parody that, and half trading sim/action RPG. It's something special if the premise at all appeals to you.
Pretty sure you've heard of Skyrim by now!
These are the games that I know about and am happy to recommend. There are plenty more available, including a few I picked up like Two Worlds II, and a few I've passed on. What are your top recommendations? What have you picked up that you're most excited to try?

We are a twenty-minute bus ride from downtown, the Financial District, the Embarcadero and Fisherman's Wharf.
What is the climate like in San Francisco?Moderate year round; temperatures rarely reach higher than 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or 21 degrees Celsius or lower than the high 40's F or 10 C.
What are your admission requirements for transfer students?Transfer Students must normally have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 to be competitive for admission. At the very least a student must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on all transferable coursework and must be in good academic standing at the last institution attended. Students who would not have been admissible to the University based upon their high school records must complete at least 24 semester credits or 36 quarter credits of transferable, academic coursework with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0.
What are your application deadlines?We use a rolling admission schedule for the College of Arts and Science and School of Management. The priority admission deadline for the Fall semester is January 15th and for the Spring semester is November 1st. Nursing applications must be received by the stated deadlines.
Where do I send my transcripts after I submit the online application?
Transcripts and other supporting documentation should be sent to the following address:
Office of AdmissionUniversity of San Francisco2130 Fulton StreetSan Francisco, CA 94117
What is the average grade point average of admitted transfer students?3.26
Will you accept transfer students regardless of class standing?Yes, but students must complete at least 45 credits at USF to earn a degree.
Will you require my high school transcripts and SAT/ACT score?We will require them if you have completed less than 24 semester credits or 36 quarter credits of transferable coursework.
How do you calculate repeated coursework?Both the original grade and the repeated grade will be used in calculating the grade point average.
What is the maximum number of units that you will accept from a community college?70 semester or 105 quarter credits.
Do you accept Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit?Yes.
Will a course in which I receive a "D" grade count?A grade of "D" will transfer for Core Curriculum (general education) and elective credit. A "C" or better grade is required for major coursework.
Will you count a grade of "F" that I received 10 years ago?Grades of "F" earned 10 years or more prior to the semester of application to USF will be "forgiven" and will not be used in the calculation of transfer GPA.
Will you accept IGETC?Completion of all the requirements in either the UC or CSU version of IGETC will substitute for most of USF's General Education requirements. IGETC certification from the community college must be submitted prior to the student's initial enrollment at USF.
Do you accept the College Level Examination Program (CLEP)?Yes. CLEP credit may be awarded at the time of admission. Grades are not awarded for CLEP exams and the credit is not reflected in the student's grade point average.
What transcripts will you need if I took courses in the military?DD295 (for active duty personnel) or DD214 (for former military personnel).
Can I get credit for college courses taken while attending high school? You may receive transfer credit for college courses if you can provide an official transcript from the college or university you attended that shows credits awarded and grades earned.
Can I apply online?Yes. Please click online application to begin your online application to the University of San Francisco. You can save parts of the application so that you do not have to complete it at one sitting.
What courses will be accepted as transfer credit?USF generally accepts all college-level courses completed at regionally-accredited institutions for transfer as fulfilling major, core, or elective classes. Regional accrediting bodies include the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, New England Association of Schools and Colleges, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. No other accrediting organizations are recognized by USF, nor are credits accepted for transfer from unaccredited institutions.
All credits designated as transferable to the California State Universities (CSU) by the California Community Colleges will transfer to USF with the exception of remedial math and English. Such designation must be applicable at the time the work was completed.
To see which courses will satisfy graduation requirements, such as the Core Curriculum, review your school's articulation agreement with the University of San Francisco. For questions regarding transfer credit, please contact the Transfer Center in the Office of Admission at: (415)422-4505.
What is the maximum number of credits I can transfer to USF?There is no limit to the total number of credits a student can transfer from previous institutions. However, there is a minimum residency requirement of 44 semester credits that must be taken at USF.
Will my transfer GPA be calculated into my USF GPA? Although your grades from transfer courses are used in making admission decisions, they are not calculated in your GPA at USF. Your total number of transfer credits will appear on your official USF transcript but not the courses and grades you received.
How do courses transfer from a quarter system school? USF awards the standard .67 credit per credit-hour of study from institutions on the quarter system. A 4-quarter hour course equals 2.68 semester hours at USF.
How will courses taken at an institution overseas transfer to USF?At present, coursework taken at institutions outside of the United States are evaluated by the Transfer Center in the Office of Admission. A counselor generally makes a recommendation as to the number of credits transferable and their comparability to the USF Core Curriculum requirements. Once you are admitted to the university, you will be assigned to an academic advisor who will help you determine which of your transfer credits will fulfill major requirements.
Do I need to submit all my transcripts and test scores from all institutions I attended even if the credits appear on one transcript?Separate transcripts must be sent directly to the Office of Admission from each school you have attended. If you have earned credits through Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), you must have your scores sent from the testing board even if they are already posted on a transcript from another institution.
It is possible that transfer credits might not be granted for some of my previous course work?Yes. Transfer courses may be denied credit at USF for several reasons. Technical, vocational, remedial, continuing education units, and courses that are not the same in content or scope to courses offered at USF will not transfer. In general, courses taken at institutions of higher education accredited by a regional accrediting association will transfer provided that the course is completed with a grade of "D" or better. Please note, however, some departments at USF may NOT accept a "D" grade for satisfying the major requirements.
What is your Foreign Language Requirement?Many majors at USF require foreign language proficiency for graduation. Liberal Arts majors require 3 semesters of the same language, Science majors require 2 semesters. There is no foreign language requirement for Business and Nursing students with the exception of International Business majors who are required to complete 2 semesters of the same language. Students who are fluent in the grammar, writing and speaking of a foreign language may qualify for a waiver from USF's Foreign Language Department.
Who should I contact if I have questions about my degree audit? You may contact the Transfer Center in the Office of Admission by calling 415.422.4505. He or she may ask for some additional documentation to be sent.
How do I get my most recent transfer coursework posted on my record at University of San Francisco? To get your most recent transfer coursework posted on your record, you must submit an official transcript to:

How many units will I need to graduate from USF?128 units, as meeting major course requirements, Core Curriculum credits, Foreign Language requirement (depending on major) and elective credits.
Are your majors impacted?No, with the exception of Nursing.
How is the pre-med program at the University of San Francisco?Students may complete pre-medical or other pre-health science requirements as a part of, or in addition to, the requirements of any academic major. The Pre-Professional Health Committee Advising Program guides students to professional health schools, primarily medical and dental schools, but also other schools including pharmacy, optometry, veterinary medicine and podiatry. The number of students admitted to medical schools from the University of San Francisco surpasses the national average by almost 20 percent.
Do I have to choose a major when I apply? Many students are undecided on a major when they apply. This does not affect your admission unless you are interested in the School of Nursing. If you want to study Nursing at USF, you must apply to the School of Nursing.
Will I have an academic advisor? Yes, academic advising begins at Orientation. When a student enrolls in a major or professional degree program, a faculty advisor is assigned from the appropriate department or school. Undeclared majors in the College of Arts and Sciences will be assigned an advisor by the College.

2 possible ides:
#1 Trade him for Danny Granger and draft Jeremy Lamb from UConn
#2 Dont trade him and draft Harrison Barnes from Unc
Either combination would be great for the Hornets to build upon, because it seems as though we will have @ least a top 3 pick if the ball falls our way... That would be a good foundation to build around plus we still have another potential lottery pick... But I luv Thomas Robinson, no homo...

Tour Striker Swing TrainerWednesday, March 30th, 2011
Check out the new Tour Striker Swing Trainer! We just got these in and I after spending a little time in our practice area, I was already noticing the benefits of this swing trainer. The Tour Striker is designed to teach golfers how to properly hit down on the ball at impact. The leading edge of the Tour Striker is rounded and the face is located high up on that curve, forcing you to deliver the club with a descending motion in order to make contact with the ball. The Tour Striker features a cast stainless head and comes stock with a light weight regular flex steel shaft. Of all the new training aids on the market this year, I think the Tour Striker may be the best!
Taylormade TR3 True PathSaturday, February 19th, 2011
Putting has always been the worst part of my game and I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the Taylormade TR3 True Path Putting Trainer. The Taylormade Putting Lab has spent years studying the putting strokes of the game's best players to determine their common errors as well as their best techniques. Lab tests have shown that most advanced players have a stroke that is no more than two degrees either inside or outside the line and the most successful putting strokes are either straight back and straight through or slightly arched from open to close. TR3 True Path putter trainer helps develop what Taylormade engineers believe to be the easiest and most natural putting stroke, a slight arched path that that flows from open to close. The TR3 will provide consistency in the putting stroke path, instant feedback on putter face alignment, improved muscle memory for proper putting tempo, as well as visual and audible feedback on putting path flaws. If you are having trouble on the greens, I highly recommend the Taylormade TR3 True Path Putting Trainer. There is a reason many touring professionals trust this device over any other putting aid on the market, it works!!!
Putting CyclopsTuesday, July 20th, 2010
Finally, a putting trainer that is designed to help you keep your head in place. The new Putting Cyclops is a unique putting aid that can be adapted to both right and left handed players and the device will accommodate a wide variety of putting strokes. The Putting Cyclops was designed by LPGA Tour players looking to find a way to keep their head in place throughout the entire putting stroke. A common mistake that most golfers have is that they tend to directly watch the putter head or look at it in their peripheral vision. This causes you to take your eye off of the ball and the movement of your head will often make you open or close the putter head causing your ball to roll offline. (more…)
Hank Haney's Swing BandTuesday, July 6th, 2010

The new Hank Haney Swing Band is designed to slip over your wrists to teach you the correct wrist position throughout the swing. The Swing Band will help put your wrists and arms in the correct swing plane and show you the correct grip pressure to maximize power and accuracy. (more…)

The new Trekker TC3 Freestlye golf cart has already been making some waves in the golf industry.

The cart was developed to ensure a pleasurable walking experience and is easily the lightest, best-rolling, and balanced golf cart on the market.

Yes it did, but after two posts you're evidently still too dense to figure it out and instead want to have a go at me as well. You first had a go at mlehnertz for his comment:
"When you're referenced by simply your first name, I think it says it all.". He was talking about VINNIE, not about you. You then took offence because you somehow (I've no idea how) interpreted this as a slight against Led Zeppelin and thought he was calling you ignorant. I quoted you because I felt the need to tell you that he was talking about Vinnie. Clearly you haven't run into Mr Colaiuta before, which would explain why you didn't know. But the rest of us - and, indeed, most of the world of drumming - quite clearly have.
You can think Im "new" or not, im not going to listen to you run your mouth and brag of your text book knowledge my friend. "Vinnie" wasnt on the nightwalker CD case, or anything. I looked into it and nothing told me about him. Just because I researched in wrong spots, doesnt mean I am "new" to "this drumming thing" buddy.
No, not knowing who an uncredited drummer doesn't make you new to drumming, you're right. However, not having a clue who one of the most influential and well-known drum superstars of the last twenty years suggests that you probably haven't exactly picked up a copy of... well... any drum magazine on a regular basis since 1985. So either you're new or you've been away for a very, very long time.
Now, please. I helped you find out who the drummer you were after was. Cool down. People here are just a bit amused that you've started a "OMG, have you heard of this obscure guy I just found on an old Gino Vanelli CD!" thread about arguably the most prolific and well-known session drummer working anywhere in the world today, let alone one of the major pioneers of modern drumming from the late 1970s to now. He has his own signature stick. He was the driving force behind the A Custom series of cymbals, arguably one of the most popular series on cymbals on the planet. He's played with Zappa, Sting, Joni Mitchell, Megadeth, The Backstreet Boys, Barry Mannilowe... John McLaughlin... Allan Holdsworth... and just about everybody else on the planet who has any money or plays fusion.
It's a bit like going to a guitar forum and writing a post going "Hey, I just heard out this totally awesome obscure blues guitarist from the 60s. You guys should check him out - I think his name's Jimi or something...". You can't really do that and expect people not to laugh. Vinnie came first in Modern Drummer's "Best studio drummer" and "Best overall" poll categories for ... ooh... just about most years during the whole of the 90s? That's not exactly unsung. If you're not new to the whole drumming thing, I'd suggest you'd at least have had to have been hiding under a rock to miss him.

Awards and Recognitions
Maine Medical Center is ranked the top hospital in Maine by U.S. News & World Report, and eight specialties are named to the publication's "high-performing" category, including Orthopedics.
U.S. News & World Report considers the top ranking hospitals as the kind of medical centers that should be on patient's lists when they need the best care. These are the places that other hospitals send the toughest cases. The hospital rankings are an aid to help steer patients to hospitals with strong skills in the procedures and medical conditions that present the biggest challenges.
The Joint Replacement Center at Maine Medical Center has earned two Gold Seals of ApprovalTM for health care quality. The Joint Commission awarded a Disease-Specific Care Certification for both Hip Replacement Surgery and Knee Replacement Surgery.
To earn this distinction, a disease management program undergoes an extensive, unannounced, on-site evaluation by a team of Joint Commission reviewers every two years. The program is evaluated against Joint Commission standards through an assessment of a program's processes, the program's ability to evaluate and improve care within its own organization, and interviews with patients and staff.
The Joint Commission provides certification of more than 1,000 disease-specific care programs, primary stroke centers, and health care staffing services. An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.
The Joint Replacement Center has been named an Aetna Institute of Quality® Orthopedic Care Facility for total joint replacement and spine surgery. Facilities are selected for consistently delivering evidence-based, safe care.
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine has designated Maine Medical Center as a Blue Distinction Center for Spine Surgery and Knee and Hip Replacement. Blue Distinction Centers demonstrate an expertise and reliability in quality special care on a consistent basis, resulting in better overall outcomes for patients. Maine Medical Center was awarded the distinction after excelling in an evaluation of services offered, experience and training of surgeons, case volume, quality management programs, multi-disciplinary clinical teams to coordinate and streamline care, shared decision making, and preoperative patient education.
Among all the high performing departments within Maine Medical Center, the Joint Replacement Center is continuously recognized by internal peers for excellence in quality care. The Joint Replacement Center team received the Paul M. Cox Quality Awards as well as the Nursing Excellence Team Award. The Joint Replacement Center at Maine Medical Center always strives to review and enhance quality initiatives to support the best patient outcomes.

her waist looks too small..and ive seen figure competition shots. i dunno.
|drchaos (October 09, 2010, 2:58 pm)
@geek: How can you possibly think a woman can get so lean and have giant natural breasts? Face reality. A woman who gets lean will have small breasts. Steroids reduce the size of the breasts even more to the extent they may disappear.
@sidewinder: Why are you accusing her of being a man? Unless you have proof go away. You are rude. Your masculinity is in question.
|kawfran (October 09, 2010, 3:51 pm)
I was a little suspicious because she's Thai, and, well, y'know... but there's some more pictures and videos of her on her bodyspace and in a few there's a bit of camel toe going on. =p
I think her terrible, terrible makeup is to blame more than anything else, and yeah, it's pretty obvious with delts like that that she's juicing, but who cares honestly

En espa�ol:
Esta mujer no solo es competidora en Figura, tambi�n es powerlifther... y es de las mejores en esta �ltima especialidad. Hace un par de semanas estuvo en Europa, compitiendo en levantamiento potencia y luego vol� a Singapur a tomar parte en una competici�n de Figure.
Parece que el hecho de estar compitiendo en ambas especialidades le ha brindado a ella un f�sico espectacular, una calidad muscular que pocas veces se ve en una mujer (a menos que sea fisiculturista). Y no solo eso: tambi�n ha desarrollado una fuerza f�sica impresionante.
Pero lo mejor, es que a pesar de todo, ella mantiene el encanto y la gracia que la hace mujer: ella es sigue siendo muy femenina. El cuerpo de ella ser� muy poderoso, pero para mi, ella es muy atractiva y sexy. Yo considero, en mi humilde opini�n, que esta mujer esta llamada a ser una de las mejores y m�s notables atletas de la historia del fisiculturismo femenino, no solo en Asia, tambi�n a nivel Mundial.
In English:
This woman is not only competing in figure, is also powerlifther ... and is among the best in the latter field. A couple of weeks she was in Europe, competing in power lifting and then flew to Singapore to take part in a Figure competition.
It seems that the fact be competing in both disciplines has given her a spectacular physique, muscular quality that is rarely seen in a woman (unless bodybuilder). And not only that: it also has developed an impressive physical strength.
But the best part is that despite everything, she retains the charm and grace that makes woman: she is still very feminine. Her body will be very powerful, but for me, she is very attractive and sexy. I think, in my humble opinion, that this woman is called to be one of the best and most remarkable athletes in the history of female bodybuilding, not only in Asia, also Worldwide.

The popularity of "Transgender-ism" and the of the "Lady-Boys" in Thailand certainly has elevated "crossing-over" to almost an Art Form. I know that shoulders and shoulder-to-hip ratios are often a "give-away"...but it becomes VERY difficult to tell if the athlete has developed a certain degree of muscularity.

Docking pay for late employees
I work for a County in Michigan. Some of the other departments have a policy of docking employees wages for arriving late. This is done in 15 minute increments, i.e., you are two minutes late, you get docked 15 minutes. It is my understanding that you can discipline and ultimately terminate an employee for tardiness, but cannot dock their pay. Those departments also have a practice of requiring their employees work 5 or 10 minutes into their lunch time (for which they are not compensated and must "punch out" on the time clock). The end result is employees working 42 or 43 hours, but being paid for 38 because they are docked for returning a minute late for lunch (after working 15 minutes of it!), or docked for being 2 minutes late punching in in the morning. Can this be right?
RE: Docking pay for late employees
Sounds like they are asking for trouble to me. In Oregon, deductions can only be taken from an employee's wages for 4 specific reasons (required by law, ex. garnishments, or for the employee's benefit - a loan for example).
An employer takes some substantial risks when docking pay for being late - creating non-exempt salaried staff is one risk. If there are salaried, exempt employees in your organization who have been docked pay, they might be able to claim they are non-exempt from overtime and be owed for past wages.
As for working during lunch, again, in Oregon, unless an employee is completely relieved of duties during a lunch period, the time must be paid. Your employer should be paying you for any time that they "suffer or permit" you to be working.
Hope that helps a bit!
Good luck!
Paul Knoch
RE: Docking pay for late employees
I agree with Paul and would add this one extra note. If your employees are salaried, never dock their pay for being late. Discipline them for being tardy.
If they are non-exempt, you only have to pay them for what they work. If they are two hours late, they do not get paid for that time. If your time system deals in quarter hours, businesses usually set the time clocks to round down if it's less than 7 minutes late and round up if it's more than 7 minutes late. You must pay them for all time worked. No working off the clock ever! Rounding due to your time clock is the only way they do not get paid for time worked. I recommend discipling employees for being tardy, not docking them. If you have additional questions, feel free to call me at 615-371-8200.
Margaret Morford
RE: Docking pay for late employees
I agree with Margaret. Sounds more like a disciplinary problem to me. In South Carolina, lunch time must be at least 30 minutes of uninterrupted time to be considered lunch and therefore not compensated. If an employee is required to work any part of their lunch break which would include eating at their desk, they must be compensated. If "lunch" is less than 30 minutes, then it is considered a "break" and therefore compensated time. MI law may differ from SC law,however.
RE: Docking pay for late employees
I agree with everyone else. It is a corrective action issue and shouldn't be a "docking" one. In California, rounding of time is OK, so someone who is a little late can be rounded to the next time increment. The reverse is also required, so that the rounding practice averages out over time. Not being paid for time worked is "not OK".
RE: Docking pay for late employees
Sounds like we all agree, docking pay is a bad practice, and so is working off the clock. Not only is it back practice, it is probably illegal, and could have far greater costs than the few minutes or hours each week that these departments or agencies are trying to save.

The FE R&D program has supported this technology through two programs: EFCC (externally fired combined-cycle) and HIPPS (high-performance power system). A demonstration of EFCC technology at the 47-MW level is planned for Round V of the CCT program. Continuation of development work on HIPPS is proposed for FY 1995, with a goal of achieving 47 percent thermal efficiency (DOE, 1994b). If the HIPPS technology is to advance to the demonstration phase, the components that will be demonstrated in the CCT EFCC project must prove to be commercially viable. Thus, demonstration of HIPPS technology must await the outcome and economic evaluations of the EFCC demonstration.
As noted in Chapter 7, the FE R&D program is supporting the development of the low-emission boiler system with the goal of demonstrating a 42 percent efficient system with emissions one-half to one-third of the NSPS by the year 2000. For FY 1995, the FE R&D program has requested $7.6 million to continue engineering development and subsystem testing of this technology.
Development and demonstration of fuel cell technology have been transferred from the coal component of the FE R&D program to the gas component, on the basis that technology demonstration and commercialization will likely be accelerated using gas rather than coal. An IGCC demonstration selected in CCT Round V will utilize a portion of the clean coal gas to fuel a 2.5-MW molten carbonate fuel cell.
Section 1321 of EPACT requires DOE to conduct additional solicitations for the development of cost-effective, higher-efficiency, low-emission coal utilization technologies for commercialization by 2010. Recommendations for the future of the CCT program have been made by two groups, the CCTC and the NCC.
The CCTC, representing the coal, utility, manufacturing, design, and construction industries and states, advocates the demonstration of clean coal technologies and has made recommendations to DOE regarding the future of the CCT program (CCTC, 1993). The CCTC seeks to ensure that technologies demonstrated in whole or in part through the existing CCT program are also commercially deployed and thereby made ready for ''commercial application" as required

World War Weird: Call Of Cthulhu ' The Wasted Land
Turn-based Lovecraft game set during World War I, with crumbling sanity for all concerned? Oh, be still my murmuring heart. Not entirely still, obviously, because that tends to make me go blue in the face and then die, but do slow down a little. Actually, no need to call the doctor at all because the game in question is a port of iOS title Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land and I've already poked my fingers into its trenches and tentacles. There's been at least one major update since I tinkered with it, but despite my initial attraction I did find the interface quite offputting. Hopefully that will be addressed when the tactical madness comes to PC on May 5th.

Badlands FM no longer airing on 94.7 FM due to a contract dispute with the owners of Reina Broadcasting
CORPUS CHRISTI - Badlands FM is no longer airing on 94.7 FM and has been replaced by My 94.7 FM.
Manuel and Rebecca Davila, owners of Reina Broadcasting Inc., which owns KBSO 94.7 FM, have replaced Badlands FM with My 94.7 FM after the Badlands management left May 31 due to a contract dispute.
"I don't know why they left," Manuel Davila said. "All I know is that we own the FCC licensing to KBSO 94.7 FM and bottom line we have brought in a new management team."
Davila said that the new station My 94.7 FM will be playing a mixture of general country music and Texas country music. Badlands FM was known for playing Texas country, Red Dirt and Americana music.
The Davilas also own Radio KCCT Inc., which airs KCCT 1150 AM. They have owned KBSO since 1993 and KCCT since 1974.
Tom Imber, owner and CEO of Badlands FM, said since early this week plans have been ongoing to build a temporary studio to begin streaming Badlands FM music online as soon as possible. Imber is hopeful that listeners will be able to tune in via live stream online on badlandsfm.net or firehousesaloon.com or through the free smartphone app "Badlands" by Wednesday.
"We don't want fans to worry because we are not going anywhere," Timber said. "We will be coming back bigger and stronger than ever."
Imber said that Badlands FM is the engine for Texas music in the Coastal Bend and that they are in negotiations with a FM tower.
"Our fans love Badlands," Imber said. "We built this station for them."

Targeting students in third through eighth grade, the program serves as a reward and inspiration for students to excel at existing or new reading programs within their respective schools.
The Wolves supply posters and offer free online reading logs to help support the current reading programs as well. Students who complete their reading programs, as determined by their school, receive a certificate redeemable for a complimentary ticket to a 2014-15 Chicago Wolves home game.
Reading Facts:
- The average person reads just one book per year.
- Reading helps develop imagination.
- Academic enhancement of a child comes primarily through reading at a young age.
- People who spend more time reading become more sociable than those who do not.
Looking for something your young reader will want to dive into? Try these titles:
- "Charlotte's Web" E.B. White
- "Anne of Green Gables" Lucy Maud Montgomery
- "Tuck Everlasting" Natalie Babbit
- "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" C. S. Lewis
- "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" Jeff Kinney
Beyond just being an enjoyable activity, reading is an important part of every child's education. However, only one-third of all students entering high school are proficient in reading. With a little encouragement, kids can learn to see the fun in picking up a book.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact 1-800-THE-WOLVES.

Alex Brown's scouting for his Gloucester successor
Posted: January 22, 2013|
ALEX Brown has turned second-row scout to help Gloucester solve their lock conundrum.
The 33-year-old was forced into premature retirement in December, after learning shoulder surgery will restrict the range of movement in his left arm.
Brown has taken up a short-term lineout coaching role at Kingsholm, and is hoping to secure a more permanent position with the Cherry and Whites.
And now he is helping rugby director Nigel Davies unearth top-quality potential new second-row recruits.
There is a dearth of frontline second rows out of contract and available for next season – so Brown will now help Gloucester take a lateral view of their options.
Bristol-born Brown is still celebrating his benefit year, marking a stellar decade in Cherry and White.
The former Bristol and Bath lock is now busy trying to aid Gloucester's recruitment process for next term, easing part of the burden on boss Davies.
Several top Premiership clubs employ full-time scouts, but Gloucester have not gone down that route in recent times.
Former Wales centre Davies purposely put a healthy coaching team together, to allow him the time to control Gloucester's recruitment and retention strategy.
But he is not about to turn down this offer of help, so Brown is now researching potential transfer targets.
Gloucester have brought in Tongan powerhouse Lua Lokotui on an 18-month contract, to offset the injury loss of lineout boss Brown.
That is only part of the equation though, as club captain Jim Hamilton will join Montpellier at the end of the season.
So Gloucester need a direct replacement for Hamilton, and may even look for a second lock addition too.
Kingsholm boss Davies had pursued Leicester's England lock Geoff Parling, Gloucester offering the former Newcastle Falcon a competitive contract.
The 29-year-old seriously considered a Kingsholm switch, but in the end chose to extend his stay at Welford Road.
Gloucester will continue with their bid to prise Nick Kennedy away from French giants Toulon.
Leicester had kept tabs on Kennedy, fearing they may lose Parling.
The Tigers will not now follow up that interest, leaving a possible path for Gloucester.
Former London Irish lineout coordinator Kennedy is considering a move back to England as he has struggled to adapt to life in the south of France.
Kennedy realises any return to the UK would lead to a pay cut, with English clubs unable to match the contracts on offer in France.
But Gloucester still have a battle on their hands to convince the 31-year-old that Kingsholm is where his future lies.
The Cherry and Whites have also been tracking Sale's out-of-contract lock Kearnan Myall, and his Sharks team-mate and Scotland lock Richie Gray would be keen on a move to Kingsholm should Sale be relegated.
