|Six Mountaineers Tabbed All-America by TSN, Phil Steele
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Friday, 24 December 2010 17:27
Highlighted by consensus first-team All-American Mark LeGree (Columbus, Ga./Pacelli Catholic), six Appalachian State University football players earned various all-America honors this week.The Sports Network named LeGree and linebacker D.J. Smith (Charlotte, N.C./Independence) to its first team, defensive end Jabari Fletcher (Atlanta, Ga./Grady) to its second team and quarterback DeAndre Presley (Tampa, Fla./Middleton) to one of its three all-America teams, with the announcement of which team delayed until next month's presentation of the 2010 Walter Payton Award.
Phil Steele publications tabbed LeGree as a first-team all-American, Presley, Fletcher, Smith and wide receiver Brian Quick (Columbia, S.C./Ridge View) as second-team honorees and offensive tackle Daniel Kilgore (Kingsport, Tenn./Dobyns-Bennett) as a third-team selection.
LeGree, who already earned first-team honors from the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association and Walter Camp Football Foundation, is only the second three-time consensus first-team All-American in Appalachian history, joining two-time Buck Buchanan Award winner and three-time NFL Pro Bowler Dexter Coakley. A 6-0, 200-pound senior defensive back, LeGree finished his career as the active leader in NCAA Division I with 22 career interceptions, four more than any other FCS or FBS player active in 2010. The 22 interceptions are good for second in Southern Conference history and third in ASU's all-time annals.
Despite opposing offenses steering away from the ball-hawking safety for much of the year, LeGree picked off five passes as a senior, good for a tie for 20th nationally. He also broke up eight passes and made 49 tackles in his final collegiate campaign.
Smith led the SoCon and ranked fifth nationally with 144 total tackles this season. The 6-1, 235-pound senior also recorded four-and-a-half tackles for loss, two sacks, five quarterback hurries, four pass break-ups, an interception and a fumble recovery and finished his career with 525 tackles, the most among all Division I players (FCS or FBS) active in 2010. His 525 career stops rank fourth in SoCon history and he joined Coakley as the only players in ASU history to surpass the 500-tackle plateau.
Fletcher, a 6-3, 265-pound senior defensive end, led the Mountaineers with nine sacks (good for a tie for 13th nationally) and 16.5 tackles for loss (tied for 19th nationally) this season. During the course of his spectacular senior campaign, he was twice named SoCon Player of the Week and was also recognized as the conference' s October Player of the Month. With 22 sacks and 44.5 tackles for loss in his career, Fletcher is one of only seven players in ASU history to register 20 sacks and 40 tackles for loss in a career.
In his first season as a starter, Presley became only the fourth player in FCS history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season. The 5-11, 170-pound junior finished the season with 2,631 passing yards (20th nationally) and 1,039 rushing yards (28th nationally and second among QBs), good for third nationally in total offense (3,670 yards). The SoCon Offensive Player of the Year accounted for 35 touchdowns (21 passing, 13 rushing and one receiving), the second-highest total in the nation.
He is joined on The Sports Network all-America teams by the other two top-three vote-getters for the Walter Payton Award (FCS Player of the Year) Western Illinois quarterback Matt Barr and Stephen F. Austin signal-caller Jeremy Moses. The winner of the Payton Award and the order in which the trio falls for all-America recognition will be announced at The Sports Network NCAA Division I FCS Awards Presentation on Jan. 6 in Frisco, Texas.
Bringing the all-time total of ASU all-Americans to 81 are Quick and Kilgore. Quick, a 6-5, 220-pound junior, finished among the SoCon's top five in both receiving yardage and touchdown receptions. His 17.7 career yards per catch leads all active FCS players. Kilgore, a 6-3, 285-pound senior, anchored an offensive front that surrendered only eight sacks in 13 games and helped lead the Mountaineers to top-10 national rankings in scoring (seventh - 34.3 ppg), rushing (eighth - 217.4 ypg) and total offense (10th - 430.9 ypg).

The Chicago Fire Academy U-18 squad made it two wins in two to open Group F play at this week's U.S. Soccer Development Academy playoffs in Westfield, Ind.
The U-18 squad, seeded No. 15 in the USSDA playoffs as the champions of the Central Conference's Mid-America Division, opened play Tuesday with a 2-0 victory over Sporting KC, receiving goals from a tandem of U.S. youth internationals. The Fire seized a late lead with an 86th-minute goal by Mauricio Pineda and iced the win when Cameron Lindley tallied four minutes later.
The U-18s were right back to action Wednesday morning and posted a 1-0 win over New York City-based BW Gottschee Academy. Djordje Mihalovic provided the match-winner in the 43rd minute.
The Fire round out group play Friday at 8 a.m. CT against the New York Red Bulls, the No. 4 overall seed in the event and the first-place team out of the East Conference's Atlantic Division. The Red Bulls defeated BW Gottschee, 4-0, in its first game, before falling to Sporting KC, 1-0, Wednesday afternoon.
The Chicago Fire Academy team is among 32 clubs competing in the U-18 age group playoffs this week in Westfield. The top team from each of eight groups move on to a single-game knockout round held July 7-8 at the higher-seed's home facility. From there, four winners move on to the Academy Championship games July 16-18 in Carson, Calif.
Also on Tuesday, the Chicago Fire U-16 squad scored a 1-0 victory against the Colorado Rush, bouncing back from a defeat by the same score Monday against Montreal Impact FC. Vitalis Takawira Jr.'s goal in the ninth minute stood up against the Rush, giving the Fire a split of their two matches at the National Showcase.
The Chicago Fire U-14s participated in the inaugural U.S. Soccer-sponsored National Showcase at that age level over the weekend, falling in a trio of matches against Chivas USA, Orlando City SC and FC Dallas Academies.
Complete results and schedules from this week's action in Westfield are online at USSDA.Demosphere.com, with a breakdown of this week's competitors available at MLSsoccer.com.

Chicago Fire PDL
The Chicago Fire PDL side defeated the St. Louis Lions 3-1 on Sunday evening at Toyota Park, led by a Joey Calistri brace in the 20th and 55th minutes and an 89th minute strike from Fletcher Ekern.
With a 2-0-2 record, the Fire sit in second place in the Heartland Division of the Central Conference, just one point behind the Springfield Synergy FC, who have played seven matches.
Next up the Fire host the Des Moines Menace on the Toyota Park Turf Field on Tuesday, June 9 at 10 a.m. CT.
Chicago Fire Homegrown prospect Harrison Shipp garnered another collegiate accolade Monday, as TopDrawerSoccer.com named the Notre Dame attacker its 2013 Collegiate Player of the Year.
Just over a week ago, Shipp led the Fighting Irish to its first ever NCAA College Cup, tallying the game-winning assist in a 2-1 win over Maryland in Chester, Pa.
Shipp's 12 goals and 10 assists for Notre Dame also made him a finalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy which is set to be awarded on January 10.
Though the club has not yet signed Shipp to a Homegrown deal, earlier this month MLS confirmed he was eligible to be signed directly by the Fire.
At a Season Ticket Holder Town Hall on December 14, the day before the College Cup final, Fire head coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop spoke highly of Shipp, comparing him to a young Mike Magee before insinuating the team would be bringing him in as a Homegrown player by saying, "We'll get him."
Two schools with Fire Academy ties will continue their quest for the 2013 NCAA College Cup in the tournament's third round on Sunday.
Coming off the program's first ever NCAA tournament win last Sunday vs. Akron, the #9 Marquette Golden Eagles travel to Charlottesville to take on perennial collegiate powerhouse #8 Virginia at noon CT.
Ex-Fire Academy goalkeeper Charlie Lyon made eight saves to push Marquette past the Zips in last week's 1-0 overtime win and is joined by Fire alums Bryan Ciesulka, Brady Wahl, Louis Bennett II and Eric Pothast on the Golden Eagles squad.
Fans can catch the match LIVE via CBSSports.com beginning at noon CT.
Later that afternoon, catch much-talked about Fire Homegrown Prospect Harry Shipp as he leads #3 Notre Dame against #14 Wake Forest at 6pm CT in South Bend, Ind.
The ACC Offensive Player of the Year, Shipp tallied two goals in the Irish's 4-0 second round win last weekend over Wisconsin to reserve Sunday's date vs. the Demon Deacons and is joined in South Bend by fellow Fire Academy alum Danny Lojek.
Catch the game LIVE at 6pm CT on WatchND.com.
The Fire had a lot of youth representation in Charleston this past weekend...
Five Chicago-based Academy teams, along with three from the Indiana Fire Academy and one team from the Kentucky Fire Juniors all took part in the Carolina Challenge Academy Cup this past weekend.
The Chicago-based teams did best, going a combined 13-1-3 over the weekend and taking the tournament titles at U14, U16 and U18 level.
I took a break from first team training Monday to cover the U16 and U18 games. Read my recap here and check out select shots from their matches below...
Want to learn to play like a pro? Then train like a pro on one of the Chicago Fires Regional Talent Schools this winter. The RTS is an individual training program specifically designed for advanced travel soccer players looking to take their game to the next level.
The program consists of 90 minutes of instructional coaching over an 8 week period and presents a fantastic opportunity for soccer players aged 8-14 (Boys & Girls) to participate in an integrated supplementary training program beyond their club practices.
The Regional Talent Schools start the week of January 14th, in Waukegan, Naperville, Glendale Heights and Chicago, for more information go to http://www.chicago-fire.com/youth/rts
We here at Always on the Inside like seeing nice goals. We like it even more when nice goals are scored by product's of the club's player development system.
Back in October, original Fire homegrown Victor Pineda hit a stunning strike in Reserve League play vs. Houston which led to him making his travel roster for a league game.
Today, we take a trip in the way back machine to two days ago when Fire U-16 Academy striker Luca Giovine hit an absolute blinder in the 66th minute to give the side a 2-0 lead over Portland Timbers at the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Showcase in Lakewood Ranch, Fla. Giovine would also assist on the third goal from Alex Underwood to give the Fire a 3-0 win over Portland.
Certainly the team highlight at the showcase was going 3-0-0 and defeating two MLS Academies, Giovine's second second strike of the three-game set takes individual honors.
Watch below (at the 44 second mark)....
The trophy cases in the Chicago Fire lobby got a new addition last week, courtesy of the youngest members of the Fire organization. The Chicago Fire U-10 Academy team, playing up an age group, won the U-11 Crew Fall Classic Championship with a commanding 7-2 victory over the Crew Juniors Gold East on October 7. Before heading out to training last Thursday, the team was on hand to personally place their trophy in its place of honor.
For the young team, the Crew Fall Classic was their first opportunity to play together in a tournament.
"They really impressed me a lot over the weekend," said Head Coach Charlie Trout. "They really came together as a team and performed at a very high level. They started to build an identity as a team and as the tournament went on, their individual personalities really started to show. It was a great experience for them and I feel like they turned a big corner that weekend."
Perhaps what made the victory even sweeter was that it was against the Crew.
"A lot of the boys support the Chicago Fire," said Trout. "They know how huge the rivalry is between the Fire and the Crew, so that added a little more excitement for them."
And if displaying their trophy alongside the Alan I. Rothenberg Trophy from the Fire's historic 1998 MLS Cup victory wasn't enough excitement, the U-10s were given a special treat when Fire Head Coach Frank Klopas stopped by and addressed the team. Klopas spoke to the youngest members of the Fire family about the honor and responsibility that comes along with wearing the Fire badge.
"There have been times where Frank has come out and watched the boys train. You see the way they look over, see who he is and their excitement rises," said Trout. "For them to get the trophy that they worked so hard for and put it in the trophy cabinet that involves the whole club is fantastic for the young boys. It gives them such a confidence booster. It's great for them."
The Fire travel to LiveStrong Sporting Park on Friday night to face Sporting KC (LIVE 7:30pm CT on NBC Sports Network) in a game which could go a long way toward determining who wins the Eastern Conference crown. Both teams are playing well and it has all the makings of a classic. Here are a few things to watch out for from a tactical perspective...
Balls over the top: Fire defenders beware
Sporting KC have a tendency to look for balls into space behind the opposing teams outside defenders and the Fire will need to be wary of this tactic Friday night. KC attackers such as Kei Kamara, Graham Zusi and C.J. Sapong all like to make these runs which often drag a central defender out of position to cover, leaving space in the middle for the other attackers to move into.
PREVIEW: Fire vs. Sporting KC
The difficult part about defending these through balls is the fact that they can come from anywhere. In KC's last home match against Houston, it wasn't just midfielders like Roger Espinoza playing the balls into space but the defenders were getting in on the act, too.
Though he has played extremely well over the past month or so, Jalil Anibaba can sometimes stray too far forward which leaves space in behind him for players to run into and exploit. On the other side of the field, left back Gonzalo Segares also needs to be cautious.
High pressure: harass KC
In the Fire's past few matches, the team's policy of applying pressure to the opposition high up the field has been very effective. Not only does the pressure offer up the opportunity for a turnover, but it also disrupts the other team's attacking rhythm.
In KC's last game away to Montreal, the Impact used the high pressure tactic and caused all sorts of problems for the away side. I look for the likes of Chris Rolfe and Patrick Nyarko to be pressuring the KC players all night when they are in possession.
In the absence of Pavel Pardo, Alex has excelled in his new holding midfield position and his energy in the center of the park will be needed against Sporting KC. If he can also use his pace to pressure the KC midfield without straying too far out of position, it will be crucial to the Fire's chances of coming away with points.
Playoff atmosphere: keeping a cool head
There is so much riding on Friday night's match and both teams know what is a stake, which is all the more reason for the Fire players to keep cool heads throughout the game. Kansas City has a tendency to get riled up very easily, starting with their coach, Peter Vermes. Players such as Kai Kamara and Michael Harrington also can get very emotional on the pitch, especially if they feel calls are not going their way.
With this in mind, I'm sure Frank Klopas has reiterated to his players not to let their emotions get the better of them in this high pressure game. For the most part, the Fire haven't had any problems with this aspect of their game this season but in a match of such importance where there isn't much between the teams, keeping your head can mean the difference between a positive and negative result.
Scoring first: stopping the bad habit
Though not necessarily a tactical point, a worrying trait that many would like to see addressed is reversing the trend of giving up the first goal.
This season, the Fire have gone a goal behind in games much too often for the coaches, fans and players liking. Though the team has often come back to tie the game and gone on to win it in many cases, sooner or later giving up the first goal is going to come back to haunt the Men in Red.
Clearly there is no one reason for going behind in so many games this season but if the team can reverse that trend it will make everyone happy. In the regular season to date, the Fire have only kept five clean sheets, the last of which came 11 games ago (1-0 July 14 vs. Vancouver). A clean sheet away from home Friday against Sporting KC would be a fantastic achievement.
Prediction: 1-0. Nyarko scores and Fire keep first clean sheet in 11 games to move into first place in the East.

Coming off a Thursday in which the club saw a favored U-18 side bow out of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy National Playoffs, the U-16s resurrected the chance Friday, with a 2-1 group finale win over Real Salt Lake-Arizona to advance to next month's National Finals in Houston.
The two teams entered Friday morning's match with identical 2-0-0 records but RSL-Arizona held the second tie breaker with eight goals scored to the Fire's seven, meaning the Boys in Red would have to win the match outright to advance.
Larry Sunderland's side struck first blood when Collin Fernandez broke up a play in the attacking end, worked up the right and slotted a ball across for Jeff Farina who coolly slipped his fifth goal of the tournament past the RSL keeper in the 26th minute to take the Fire into the half up 1-0.
The side would find some more breathing room in the 63rd when Christian Hennock received the ball after a build up out of the back, strode towards goal up the right put a ball in leaving Marcus Epps an easy opportunity to knock home his fourth of the tournament and give the Fire a two-goal advantage.
Needing just two goals to advance, RSL poured on the pressure in the final 15 minutes and pulled one back in the 70th when a ball knocked across the box was redirected into the back of the net by a Fire player to take things to 2-1.
Despite the goal, the team was able to sustain the remaining pressure and grind out the 2-1 result to finish a perfect 3-0-0 atop what was deemed the tournament's "Group of Death". Together Farina and Epps accounted for all nine of the team's goals in the three matches.
"RSL pushed very well at the end there," said Sunderland. "I think being based in Arizona, they dealt with the heat much better than us and pressed us a lot longer. They're a very good team but we did well to finish the chances we created and then completed it with a strong defensive performance."
The win makes the Fire U-16s one of eight qualifiers to the U.S.S.D.A. Finals next month in Houston where the team will take part in another round-robin tournament, with the group winners playing for national title.
"Navigating this group and beating a team like RSL to qualify -- we have to take a lot of confident from that with us into the finals next month," continued Sunderland. "I'm very proud of the way this team has performed and peaked just at the right time."

What's it like in…Afghanistan? Or in Iraq? Or wherever your mom, dad or loved
one happens to be deployed? No doubt they're experiencing lots of different
things across the globe, from the languages they're hearing to the foods
they're tasting and the sights they're seeing. Can you imagine what would it be
like if you were there? Find out a little more about how kids like you spend
their time in some of the countries where troops are stationed.
Afghanistan, located in the center of Asia, is surrounded by
a number of other countries, including Pakistan, Iran and China. The capital
city of Afghanistan is Kabul.
The entire country is about the size of Texas, and if you
were in standing in that state, you'd be a little over 7,700 miles from
Afghanistan itself. That's like traveling from Washington, D.C. to San
Francisco, back and forth and back again once more!
Afghanistan is very hot and dry in the summers, but really
cold in the winters, especially in the eastern part of the country. The land is
mostly made up of desert and valleys, with jagged mountains that are covered
with snow year round.
From the Central time zone in the United States, Afghanistan
is 9.5 hours ahead – so when you're eating lunch at noon in Texas, it's 9:30 at
night in Afghanistan and kids there are probably already in bed!
Afghanistan offers many tasty and interesting dishes,
including naan (pronounced "NAH-n"),
a flat bread shaped somewhat like a Frisbee, and kabobs, which are pieces of
lamb or beef stacked on a skewer, then cooked on a grill.
Kids and adults in Afghanistan wear a mix of Western clothes
like you wear and some traditional pieces such as embroidered coats and hats. Kids
dress pretty casually for the most part, in jeans or cotton pants, though girls
might wear a two-piece knee length dress with some sort of trouser underneath.
Education is free at all levels in Afghanistan, with the
main portion lasting for six years, followed by another six years that's sort of
like a combination of middle school and high school. Boys and girls are taught
separately, and there are usually about 60 students in one class. The school
year takes place from early March through November in the colder areas of the
country, but from September to June in warmer regions.
The national sport of Afghanistan is bozkashi (pronounced "BAHZ-ka-SHE"), a team game played on horseback that's
a little bit like polo played here in the states. Kite flying is also very popular,
as is kite fighting. In kite fighting,
the strings are covered with a mixture of powdered glass and rice glue. The object
is to use your kite to cut through the strings of an opponent's kite so it
falls down.
Kids in Afghanistan also grow up telling or hearing stories
about Mullah Nasrudin (pronounced "moo-la
NAZHJ-rue-deen"), a popular character in the Middle East similar to Mother
Goose. Some of these rhymes and
folktales are used to teach lessons while others are told just for fun.
There are two official languages of Afghanistan: Pashto and
Dari. Salaam
(pronounced "sa-LOM") means hello in both languages.
Iraq is in the center of Asia, bordered by Iran, Turkey,
Syria, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Two large rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates,
outline this very fertile region.
Iraq is about twice the size of Idaho. If you flew non-stop
from our nation's capital in Washington, D.C. to Iraq's capital in Baghdad, it
would take you half a day in the air to cover the nearly 7,000 miles between
the two cities.
In the summertime, Iraq is extremely dry and hot, often
without a cloud in the sky to offer protection from the sun. During the
winters, temperatures range from mild to cold, though it's more frigid in the
northern mountain regions, where heavy levels of snow can cause severe flooding
once it melts in the spring.
From the Central time zone in the United States, Iraq is
eight hours ahead, so when you're having lunch, kids in Iraq are having dinner.
Iraqis eat three meals a day, with the last meal
usually occurring later in the evening, around 8 p.m. Dolma (pronounced "dole-MA") is a favorite food of the region, made
of ground meat (such as lamb) mixed with rice and chopped peppers, then wrapped
in a grape leaf. Also, orange soda is extremely popular in Iraq.
Iraqis who live in larger cities tend to wear clothes like
yours, but those who live in rural areas often choose more traditional pieces,
especially young women who might be seen in a veil and dark robe known as an abaya (prounounced "ah-BYE-ya") which
covers the body from head to toe. Underneath, young women usually wear colorful
dresses – quite a contrast from the dark cloak seen by outsiders. More
traditional wear for young men would include a caftan, an ankle-length robe
with sleeves.
Kids in Iraq are only required to go to school through the
sixth grade. A national exam then determines whether or not they will continue
with additional education. At this point, for those who pass, boys and girls
are then split up and taught separately. The school year begins in October and
ends in June, fairly similar to how it works in most schools in the United
Soccer is very popular in Iraq, as are strategy games such
as backgammon or chess. Kids tend to play in larger groups as the Iraqi people,
young and old, are very social. Swimming and fishing in the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers during the summer is also a common pastime, along with
craft-making including pottery and weaving.
While there are a number of languages spoken in Iraq, the
most common is Arabic. An informal way of saying hello in this language would
be halaw (pronounced "ha-LAW").
However, it is actually more common to greet people with the words al-salamu alaykum, (pronounced "ul-sigh-la-LAY-hum"), which means "peace be upon you."
Kuwait hugs the Persian Gulf and is surrounded by Iraq on
its north side and Saudi Arabia around the south end. The land is primarily
made up of an oil-rich desert.
Kuwait is similar in size to the state of New Jersey. Around
6,500 miles separates New York City from Kuwait City, the country's capital,
which is about the equivalent of driving across the United States and back.
A dry desert climate, Kuwait has intensely hot summers
starting in May and lasting through October. Winters are short and cool,
averaging a high of 40 to 50 degrees.
Kuwait is eight hours ahead from the Central time zone in
the United States, so they get to celebrate things like the New Year's Eve
countdown before we do!
Food plays a central role in the lives of Kuwaitis and is
often served family style on large plates for sharing. Their national dish is
called machboos, sometimes also spelled majboos (pronounced
"maach-BOOS"), which is made of chicken, mutton or fish set over or mixed in a
large quantity of rice. Teas are also very popular, particularly chai or black tea
served with a spice called cardamom.
Younger people like to wear the same types of clothes as young
people in the U.S., but some also incorporate traditional items. Guys might be
seen wearing a dishdasha, a floor-length robe with a center opening, along with
a headdress that consists of three parts.
There are four different levels of schooling in Kuwait:
kindergarten or nursery, which last two years; primary for five years; a
four-year intermediate period; and finally, a secondary level that lasts for
three years. All education, including higher levels, is provided for free. As
it is in most places across the United States, the Kuwaiti school year runs
from September through June.
Though boys and girls tend to play separately in Kuwait,
both enjoy sporting games such as bowling, tennis and basketball, along with a
version of tag known as Al Ghomaid
(pronounced "AL-go-MADE") where the person who is "it" is blindfolded.
Kuwaitis actually greet each other by shaking hands or kissing cheeks, but
those who prefer a salutation might say gowwa
(pronounced "go-WAA") which is a way of saying "hello" in Arabic, the official language of
the country. English is also widely spoken in the area as well.
The Philippines is actually a cluster of more than 7,000
tropical islands that sit in the Pacific Ocean in Southeast Asia. It has more
than 22,000 miles of coastline.
The islands that make up the Philippines would take up about
the same space as the state of Arizona. The capital city of Manila sits around
7,300 miles from Los Angeles, California – so it is definitely too far away to
swim there!
From May through October, the hot, humid climate is hit with
monsoons (which are like super-intense rainstorms), but things let up a bit
from December to February. The area also experiences many minor earthquakes –
up to 20 a day! – and volcanic eruptions which are actually what formed most of
the islands that exist there today.
The Philippines is 11 hours ahead of the Central time zone
in the United States, so when you're getting ready for bed, kids over there are
just starting their day.
Philippine food is very hearty, but not terribly spicy,
built on staples such as fried salted fish and rice. Soup and broths also play
a big role in the cuisine, so the table setting is usually a spoon and fork,
not fork and knife. In more rural areas, some Filipinos eat with their hands, a
practice known as kamayan (pronounced
"KUH-my-yan"). Also, halo-halo is a popular dessert in the area, made from ice,
milk, various local fruits and ice cream.
Most kids where the same kind of modern, conventional
clothes as you might see in the United States, but some mix up their outfits
with traditional pieces such as the barong
tagalon (pronounced "bah-RON tag-a-LONG"), a thin, transparent dress worn
with a shirt underneath it by men.
In the Philippines, most classes start in June and end in
March. Elementary school runs from first through sixth or seventh grade
depending on the school, while high school is a four-year program.
Sports are very popular in the Philippines, with basketball
being the most favorite, both on amateur and professional levels. Kids also
enjoy playing traditional games such as luksung
baka (pronounced "look-son bah-ka"), a jumping game, and patintero (pronounced "pah-tin-tear-oh"),
a form of tag. Yo-yos are also commonly seen in the area, and the namesake of
the toy is believed to have Filipino origins.
Filipino and English are the official languages of the
country, but there are also 170 individual living languages still spoken as
well. In Filipino, "hello" can be said as halo
or huy, but many locals also greet
each other with mabuhay, (pronounced
"ma-boo-hey"), which means "welcome" or "long live."
Djibouti (pronounced "jih-BOOT-ee") is located on the horn
of Africa, bordered by the countries of Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia, as well
as the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The area is just a bit smaller than Massachusetts. The
country's capital, also named Djibouti, is 7,000 miles from New York City,
which is like going from the Big Apple to the North Pole and back!
A hot, arid climate, temperatures in Djibouti soar to the
100s from May through September, with a somewhat cooler season from mid-October
to mid-April. In the Goda Mountains area of the country, it's usually mild
year-round. The soil covering the land in Djibouti is mostly rocky and sandy,
leaving only 10% or so for farming purposes.
Djibouti is eight hours ahead of the Central time zone in
the United States, so when you're getting out of school, kids over there are
likely already fast asleep.
In more populated cities, the menu is influenced by African and French cuisine, and often includes yogurt sauces and lentils. The souk (marketplace) in Djibouti is also well known for offering spicy, oven-baked fish.
Many kids and young adults wear simple modern clothes such
as jeans and t-shirts, though there are traditional elements added at times as
well. Guys might put on a sarong-like garment called macawiis (pronounced "mah-cow-wees") while ladies sometimes wear a dirac (pronounced "der-rack"), which is
a long, light dress thrown over a slip.
Education in Djibouti traces back to France and involves
several stages that match the typical American school system, including
pre-primary, primary (which is like elementary school in the States), middle
education (similar to junior high) and secondary (comparable to high school).
Kids are required to attend for at least nine years, and classes start in
September and end in June
Most kids come from families of six or seven siblings so
there's always someone to play with. Arts and crafts are also very popular in
this area, especially weaving and pottery.
The official languages of Djibouti are French and Arabic,
though Somali is the most widely spoken (yet not often written.) Afar is also used in certain areas. Mahisse (pronounced "ma-HE-see") means "hello" in Afar, but there
are a number of ways to say hi in Somali, including nabat (pronounced "nah-BOT") and see tahay (pronounced "sea-tu-hey").

Submission JavaScript does PDF - the end of the plugin?->
mikejuk writes: PDF can be thought of as the web's second document format — after HTML of course. However unlike HTML you need a plugin to render PDF in a web page. A group at Mozilla is working on direct rendering of PDF documents using nothing but JavaScript and HTML5. There are plans to integrate it into Firefox so this could be the end of the Adobe plugin — well for PDFs at least

Insights into what the world is searching for -- the new Google Trends
Since we launched Google Trends and Google Insights for Search, we've seen millions of people using Trends to keep up with trending interests online, and a range of journalists, businesses and researchers around the world using Insights for Search to compare the popularity of search terms over time and across regions. We have made steady improvements over time, most recently revamping our Hot Searches list to provide richer context for breakout searches.
Now we are merging Insights for Search into Google Trends, wrapping it all up in a clean new interface to give you a clearer view of what's on the world's mind. The new Google Trends now includes features from both products and makes it easier and more intuitive to dig into the data. We've updated the line chart and map using HTML5 based Google Chart Tools so you can now load the page on your mobile devices, visualize the results without scrolling, and get Hot Searches not just for the U.S., but also India, Japan, and Singapore.
So, what exactly can you learn about people's interests from Google Trends? A few of our recent favorites:
- [beach] and [snow] are just about inverse throughout the year
- West Virginia leads the US in searches for spooky things (play around at the bottom left!)
- Interest in [red hot chili peppers] shifted around Europe this summer as the band toured there -- see this time-lapse map:
We've seen so many examples of insights gleaned from Trends, from the Oscars to the Super Bowl; from shopping to elections; from our yearly Google Zeitgeist summary to the many we've found around the web.
Google Trends data can be used to better understand global trends -- identifying health trends such as in flu trends, nowcasting in economics, and studies on the predictability of search trends. And it has been used in many scientific articles across disciplines.
There's so much in this data for journalists, academics, and anybody who's curious about the world to explore, and we'd love to see what you find. Email us your favorites at email@example.com.

[kicks Lovechild in the nuts] Sorry, just practicing.
Yeah, I remember that thread. All I'm doing is giving you a heads-up. There are people who understand, I wish there had been some for my cousin. Take heart- I think you're tougher than you think you are. ;D
Except the last name and the cocaine abuse, me and Mr. Carothers are pretty much alike. He sounds like a typical TS sufferer, other signs are depression, inability to fit into normal society, and as you said, most of all obsessive compulsion.
I haven't had an easy childhood, I've always been different, been the target of the ridicule, I've taken my share of beatings in my time. I've never been very bright and I've only seldomly done well in school. So I retracted my life in front of the computer.
As you might has figured, I obsess about alot of things, amongst these are NGene. I do love her, and probably to a more extreme level than she has ever experienced. This can be scary, not just for her, but also for me - the fear of getting hurt was so strong that I almost turned around when I stood outside her door (with flowers and all mind you - would have looked silly I guess). And still it took me three days to get the courage to kiss her. It's scary to be so overpowered by ones emotions, but it part of the mystery called love.
To explain, some TS patients are violent, some extent their emotionel distress via drugs. I feel very powerfully, fx. I have no friends for whom I would not take a bullet - I've always been very generous, both emotionel and financial. Ask anyone I know, and they will tell you just that.
And yes I have been tempted to take the easy way out, but I'm still here, alive and kicking.
[kicks Lovechild in the nuts] Sorry, just practicing.
I swear... I only looked at the coke !...... OUCH!!! BASTARD !!![kicks Lovechild in the nuts] Sorry, just practicing.
Is diet coke okay? I'm a shoot-up diabetic, and learned to like the stuff -- no jolt, of course. 8)
Not for me... it has caffine in itIs diet coke okay? I'm a shoot-up diabetic, and learned to like the stuff -- no jolt, of course. 8)
You can drink Sprite and 7up, the uncolas. And let's not forget Snapple.
I've been selfmedicating with ice the, peach flavor...You can drink Sprite and 7up, the uncolas. And let's not forget Snapple.
They do have caffeine-free diet coke, you know.
Would it be justified to call Cranberry-flavoured snapple "Crapple"?

The internationally renowned Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers, at right, are one of six events during the Fall Arts Celebration, which runs September-December.
The tradition of bringing national and international artists to West Michigan began in 2003.

A generation ago, workers sought jobs and vied for promotions that led them on a career path that required an upward, straight climb and resembled a hill. The winding path today's workers take resembles a meandering road of short hills, straightaways and curves.
Three faculty and staff members with diverse career paths are highlighted; they each had a path in mind when prompted: "What would you like to do?"

Rachel Schwallier grew up on an apple orchard in Coopersville, and is currently studying carnivorous plants in southeast Asia.
Schwallier, who wanted to earn a doctoral degree, is among many Grand Valley students and alumni who are guided by the Frederik Meijer Office of Fellowships when applying for highly competitive scholarships and fellowships. Read about Schwallier's journey, and the $1 million in scholarships and aid the fellowships office has helped secure for students, here.
Talented faculty, motivated students, first-rate facilities, technology and community partners are all part of a very important mix that creates a solid graduate program.
This combination has proven successful since the first graduate program was established in 1973, the master's of business administration. Fast forward 42 years to 2015 when 36 programs that span all eight colleges serve more than 3,500 students.
Read about Mario Adkins, pictured at left, and two other graduate students here.
Imagine a typical school classroom — desks, whiteboard, brick walls, a TV on an AV cart.
Now imagine a classroom big enough to suspend a 76-foot skeleton of a fin whale from the ceiling, a 3/4 scale re-creation of Grand Rapids in the 1890s and a planetarium with Digistar projection technology with immersive surround sound.
The latter describes just a portion of what is inside the Grand Rapids Public Museum in downtown Grand Rapids, where 60 sixth-graders are about to begin classes, thanks to a partnership with the College of Education. Read more here.
With 40 years of professional design experience working with global manufacturers, international architectural and design firms, art and design colleges and professional associations, John Berry joined Grand Valley last year as director of the Design Thinking Initiative to bring the concepts of design thinking to students, faculty, staff and the West Michigan community.

MDHIP – Providing Health Insurance Assistance For The Low Income
MDHIP (Metro Detroit Health Insurance Program) – Video about the Affordable Care Act, it's shortcomings, and how our program assists the low income uninsured to be able to afford health insurance and avoid the penalties for being uninsured. www.mdhip.org
Life Insurance Should Be Something You Consider Getting
It's really tough to think about your own mortality because you'll realize that in the end, you're going to pass away. You may not think about getting life insurance, because that seems so far off that it's not something you should have to worry about. The fact is, you don't really know when you're going to die because a freak accident could happen and that will be it for you. There are a few other reasons why you should get life insurance, and that's what you'll read about here. Read this to see why this is important.
If you're the person in your home that makes a lot of money, then your family will need you to have life insurance. The reason for this is that if you die, then they probably won't be able to afford everything on their own. You have to think, if things happen and you pass away, then they may be stuck with paying the funeral costs and even some of your old bills. If this were to happen, you could do a lot of damage to your family. So, it's always good to have life insurance from one of the best life insurance companies, if you want to take care of your family. You can get quotes from TermLifeGo.com to see all the best life insurance policies in your area.
Some people aren't making the most money in a household, but that still doesn't mean that the other people can afford funeral costs and unpaid bills. Without your help then they may get behind and have to live well below their means. You probably don't want people to have the burden of taking care of everything, especially right after you pass because they'll already be having enough problems with grief. Even if you live alone, you don't want someone like your mother or grandfather to have to pay the bills for whatever you need done after death since that wouldn't be very fair to them if you could have gotten life insurance before this happened.

Every week, I go to the gym and work out with my friend Linda for an hour. I've known Linda for years and trust her: she's smart, well trained, and keeps me on my toes doing all of those exercises we all "think we know how to do" correctly.
I hate to admit it to myself and to others, but I really did just ruin a small pillow top by machine quilting it. You read correctly: I ruined a perfectly nice piece of patchwork.

Our dog, Shakira, ran off from Pomona Ave. on 12/24. She was spotted on the North Island base on 12/25 and 26th but no news since then. We are from the bay area and were in Coronado for a family visit- we have now returned home.
We reported her to Animal Control, the military police, and posted flyers around town.
If you see her, please let me know at email@example.com, or call 408-656-0763.
My mom lives in Coronado and could keep the dog until we can get back to pick her up, if she is found.
She is a skittish dog but may answer to "kiki" or "treat". Also, she lives with an 11-year old girl and a yellow lab so may follow a family with a young girl and/or dog.
We dearly love this dog and miss her so much so are really hoping she turns up somewhere on the island.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Kim, So sorry to hear this news. You guys have done a great job of putting up signage everywhere and we are all keeping an eye out! We haven't seen her yet at the Animal Control Facility, but hopefully she will cross someones path soon!
(@Alicia, at the top of the post is a small link "kiki.JPG" if you click that you will see a post, but I agree if Kim could add the actual photo it would get the best exposure!)
Thank you, Alicia, for that news. I'm afraid we haven't heard of any sightings since the 26th.
I tried to post a picture of her- not sure how to do this. There is a "kiki.jpg" link at the top of the page and when I click that, I see her picture.
Here is the update on the missing dog: http://www.ecoronado.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2019736%3ABlogPost%3...

Detailed Description:
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a prevalent condition mainly affecting females with disease onset at early puberty. It can lead to serious health problems and is associated with low bone mass which can persist with growth. Osteopenia is found to be an important prognostic factor for curve progression in AIS. Nutritional studies indicated AIS subjects had low dietary calcium intake. Evidences suggested that Vit D insufficiency could be present in AIS. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation can therefore be a viable treatment option for low bone mass in AIS subjects. The primary objective of this prospective randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial is to find out whether calcium and vitamin D supplementation can improve bone mineral density (BMD) in osteopenic AIS subjects. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate whether the supplementation is effective in controlling curve progression in AIS.

11.6.14: Feeding the homeless: Act of charity or a crime?
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Despite being charged with violating a new ordinance by feeding the homeless in South Florida, advocate Arnold Abbott says he's not deterred and even went back out for another feeding at a public park.
The face-off in Fort Lauderdale over the new ordinance restricting public feeding of the homeless has pitted those with compassionate aims against residents and businesses trying to protect their neighborhoods.
Ninety-year-old Abbott and two South Florida ministers were charged last weekend as they handed out food. They were accused of breaking the ordinance and each faces up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
Despite the brush with the law, Abbott, and the ministers, Dwayne Black and Mark Sims, went back out for a feeding at a park Wednesday night as police filmed from a distance.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) — As demonstrated by the announcement of a third round of Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay and Voluntary Early Retirement Authority beginning 1 May, the Air Force is committed to maximizing voluntary separation measures to the greatest extent possible. Despite this, some bases may find the need to rebalance skills requiring reduction-in-force procedures. So what do you need to know?
When the Air Force implements a force reduction initiative, there are programs in place to minimize the impact on employees and to assist those who are affected, Air Force Personnel Center officials said.
RIF is implemented for various reasons, including when voluntary measures don't bring force numbers down to a low enough level to meet budget requirements. However, as part of the normal RIF process, the Air Force uses various preventive and supportive measures to lessen the effect on Airmen and their families, said Charles Huerta, the AFPC civilian force integration deputy director.
"In a RIF, if an individual's position is identified for elimination, that doesn't necessarily mean that the person is out of a job,†said Huerta. "An employee could remain at the same grade or be placed in a lower grade and given special entitlements.â€
In general, RIF occurs in a competitive area, which covers positions at a location serviced by the same civilian personnel section. Within the competitive area, competitive levels are established that include groups of similar positions, e.g. all GS-11 accountants. Within the competitive area and each competitive level, employees are placed on a retention register based on retention standing. Retention standing is based on tenure, veterans preference, service computation date for RIF and performance ratings.
"In a difficult, budget-constrained environment, Air Force leaders work to minimize negative impact on Airmen, but measures like RIF are always a possibility,†said AFPC Executive Director Dr. Todd Fore. "Knowing how RIF works and what resources are available to help you get through the process is critical.â€
To help Airmen understand the process, RIF-related topics are explained on the Air Force Personnel Services website at https://gum-crm.csd.disa.mil. In addition, employees can find out specific their RIF service computation date, veterans preference and other pertinent information by selecting the My Biz link on AFPERS. Once there, they should click on the My Information folder under the Personal tab to view their information.
Civilians can also seek guidance from base-level civilian personnel advisers and can access resources like the Airman and family readiness center for help preparing for and getting through transitional events.
"The Air Force is committed to taking care of its Airmen,†said Fore. "Force management measures implemented over the past year have affected our people, and additional measures will continue to affect all Airmen in the future. But, we have programs in place and personnel experts on staff ready to advise and assist our Airmen.â€
