Princeton Travels To Hofstra For 2013 Opener
Princeton has won 10 national championships, the first back in 1937, with four USILA championships and then six NCAA tournament championships. Princeton has played in the NCAA Final Four 10 times and the NCAA championship game eight times and is the owner of 26 Ivy League championships.
Surely the program has seen it all in that time, right?
Maybe not.
If there has been another season-opener quite like the 2013 one, then there haven't been many.
Princeton enters 2013 with an offense that shows every sign that it could be improved over last year, when the Tigers were one of the top scoring teams in Division I. And with a defense with no returning starters.
Add to that the rule changes that were designed to open the game up more - and early season scores that seem to suggest they have been successful - and it's even more unlikely that Princeton has ever been in this situation before.
* * *
Princeton attackmen and offensive midfielders have combined for 101 career games started.
Princeton's defenseman and goalie have combined for three career game started (two by Derick Raabe and one by Eric Sanschagrin).
* * *
Princeton averaged 7.08 goals per game in 2011 and 11.2 goals per game in 2012.
Princeton returns four players - Tom Schreiber, Jeff Froccaro, Mike MacDonald, Tucker Shanley - who all reached at least 20 goals last year. The last time Princeton had four
returning players who reached at least 20 goals was 1998, with Jesse Hubbard, Chris Massey, Jon Hess and Lorne Smith.
Princeton returns four of its six starters on attack and midfield and returns six players who started at least three games on offense a year ago - Tom Schreiber (16 starts), Jeff Froccaro (16), Mike MacDonald (16), Tucker Shanley (9), Kip Orban (4), Hunter deButts (3).
Graduation took both Alex Capretta (16 starts, 23G, 11A) and Mike Grossman (16 starts, 7G, 8A). Freshmen Ryan Ambler (attack) and Jake Froccaro (midfield) figure to start for Capretta and Grossman.
* * *
Princeton graduated goalie Tyler Fiorito (2012 Ivy League Player of the Year, second-team All-America), defenseman Chad Wiedmaier (2012 first-team All-America, Princeton's first four-time first-team All-Ivy League selection), longstick midfielder John Cunningham (four-year contributor, MLL draftee) and defenseman Jonathan Meyers (four-year contributor). Returning defenseman Rob Castelo, who started all 16 games a year ago, tore his ACL prior to the start of preseason practice.
Between them, those five combined for 11 All-America selections and 13 All-Ivy League selections, not to mention 253 games and probably more than 10,000 minutes played.
Princeton ranked fifth last year in Division I in scoring defense with 7.2 goals allowed per game.
In their place, Princeton's starting defense will consist of a converted shortstick defensive midfielder (Nick Fernandez), a converted longstick midfielder (Derick Raabe, who has started two career games on defense) and a freshman (Mark Strabo). The goalie will be one of three players - Matt O'Connor, Brian Kavanagh or Eric Sanschagrin - who between them have one career game started. The longstick midfielders will be Alex Beatty and Brandon Bonvino, who between them have appeared in five career games.
Shortstick defensive midfielder Jack Strabo will be the only Princeton defensive player who starts the 2013 season in the same role he had in the 2012 opener against Hofstra.
* * *
Nick Fernandez will be moving from shortstick defensive midfielder, where he played his first two years, to close defense.
There is precedent for this at Princeton. In 2006, Ryan Schoenig, a shortstick defensive midfielder and face-off man, became a starter at close defense.
* * *
It's possible that Princeton will start four freshmen against Hostra, one each at attack (Ryan Ambler), midfield (Jake Froccaro), defense (Mark Strabo) and goalie (Matt O'Connor).
The only time in the last 25 years that Princeton has started as many as three freshmen in the opener were in 1991 (Kevin Lowe, Scott Reinhardt, Scott Bacigalupo) and 1995 (Jon Hess, Chris Massey, Jesse Hubbard).
* * *
Princeton and Hofstra have played 26 times, and each team has won 13. In the last eight years, the series is 4-4.
Princeton and Hofstra have met ever year since 2000. Of those 13 games, nine have been decided by three or more goals, while two each have been by one or two.
Princeton defeated Hofstra 12-6 last year as Tom Schreiber had three goals and four assists and Mike MacDonald had three goals. In two career games against Hofstra, Schreiber has five goals and four assists.
* * *
Princeton will start Jeff (attack) and Jake Froccaro (midfield) against Hofstra.
The last time Princeton had two brothers start the same game was the 2000 NCAA championship game, when Trevor (goalie) and Brendan (attack) Tierney started for the Tigers.
Princeton will also have Mark Strabo start on defense and Jack Strabo will be a first-line shortstick defensive midfielder.
Princeton has had first-line shortstick D middie with his brother in the starting lineup three times since the Tierneys started together, though an SSDM is not considered a starter.
Alex Hewit was the starting goalie when his brother Grant was a shortstick D middie. Whitney Hayes was a starting midfielder when his brother Dixon was an SSDM. Jimmy Davis was an SSDM when Tommy Davis started on attack.
Princeton has three sets of brothers on its team.
In addition to the two Froccaros and Strabos, there is also Austin deButts and Hunter deButts.
* * *
Princeton's last win at Shuart Stadium was in 2007. The Tigers actually lost twice in Hempstead in 2009, both to Hofstra in the regular season and Cornell in the NCAA quarterfinals.
Hofstra defeated Princeton 11-9 in 2011 in the Tigers' last game in Hempstead.
* * *
The Princeton men's lacrosse team spent a week in Costa Rica last June. The Tigers played one game against the Costa Rican national team, gave clinics for the Costa Ricans and for the local youth and worked on various service projects, including refurbishing a community center.
Princeton traveled to Spain and Ireland in 2008 and Japan in 2004.
* * *
Princeton won 40.7% of its face-offs in 2011 and 51.3% of its fface-offs in 2012. Princeton won nearly 100 more face-offs last year than the year before, going from 87 to 182.
Hofstra won 16 of 22 face-offs in its 11-9 win over Princeton in 2011.
Princeton won 13 of 22 face-offs last year in its 12-6 win.
* * *
Princeton's two captains for the 2013 season will be Tom Schreiber and Chris White.
* * *
Princeton is at Johns Hopkins next Friday, March 1, in the first of its five ESPNU games. The game, which faces off at 5, is actually the first game of a Princeton doubleheader on ESPNU that night, with lacrosse followed by Princeton-Harvard men's basketball.

A phobia is an ongoing and unreasonable fear of a certain object, animal, activity, or situation that poses little to no actual danger.
Specific phobias are a type of anxiety disorder in which a person may feel extremely anxious or has a panic attack when exposed to the object of fear. Specific phobias are a common mental disorder.
Common phobias include the fear of:
Being exposed to the feared object, or even thinking about being exposed to it causes an anxiety reaction.
You avoid situations in which you may come into contact with the feared object or animal. For example, avoiding driving through tunnels, if tunnels are your phobia. This type of avoidance can interfere with your job and social life.
The health care provider will ask about your history of phobia, and will get a description of the behavior from you, your family, and friends.
The goal of treatment is to help you function effectively. The success of the treatment usually depends on how severe your phobia is.
Systematic desensitization is a technique used to treat phobias. You are asked to relax, then imagine the parts of the phobia, working from the least fearful to the most fearful. Gradual exposure to the real-life situation has also been used with success to help people overcome their fears.
Anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications are sometimes used to help relieve the symptoms.
Behavioral treatment is often used together with drug therapy. This can include:
Behavioral treatment appears to have long-lasting benefits.
Other treatments that can reduce the number of attacks include:
Phobia clinics and group therapy are available in some areas to help people deal with common phobias, such as a fear of flying.
Phobias tend to be chronic, but they can respond to treatment.
Some phobias may have consequences that affect job performance or social functioning. Some anti-anxiety medications used to treat phobias may cause physical dependence.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider or a mental health professional if a simple phobia is interfering with life activities.

THE PARTY More than 1,700 benevolent backers turned out to support one of the city's most celebrated food festivals to raise funds for the fight against childhood cancer. THE SCENE National Advisory Board Member Jimmy Kimmel welcomed guests to the grounds of Culver Studios Mansion, where more than 30 of the country's culinary whizzes—including top L.A. talents and co-hosts Suzanne Goin, Caroline Styne and David Lentz—created a decadent feast for the sold-out affair. Attending celebrities eagerly dished on their own kitchen creations, with actress Camilla Belle sharing, "I could eat sausage and pasta every day, so I like whipping up a sausage pasta for a quick and delicious dinner." Helmed by the likes of cancer survivor and actress Taylor Hay and Ray Donovan star Octavius Johnson, Alex's Lemonade Stand kept attendees refreshed with sips throughout the day. THE HIGHLIGHT Silent and live auction bids helped to raise more than $530,000 for the occasion, thanks in part to Kimmel, who won a home-cooked dinner by four female chefs. Photography by Alex J.

SURF CITY | In a ceremony conducted July 12, the Town of Surf City formally renamed Surf City Family Park in memory of Kenneth D. "Kenny" Batts, who died in a bicycle accident last June. The park, located at 911 S. Topsail Drive, features a picnic shelter, basketball court, playground area and rest rooms.
Batts served two terms on Surf City town council, December 1979 through December 1991, and December 1993 through December 1997. According to Mayor Pro-Tem Doug Medlin, Batts served on the town council that purchased the land for this park.

What are the secrets to a successful retirement?
When I set out to compile 65 Things to Do When You Retire (Sellers Publishing, $15.95), I trawled through hundreds of websites and blogs, looking for retirement experts and retirees with something fresh to say. I encountered one common theme: A successful retirement today is often about re-creation — redefining who you are to make your future as meaningful as possible.
(MORE: Four Steps to Saving for Retirement)
Beyond that, these are the 10 nuggets about successful retirements that stood out the most:
1. Find your passion, recommends retirement blogger Dave Bernard. This is not always as simple as it sounds, however. You have to dig deep inside yourself to determine what excites your heart and soul. But once you discover your passion and decide to pursue it, Bernard says, you'll have a reason to get out of bed every day.
2. Free fall creates a new freedom to be ourselves, writes feminist and social reformer Gloria Steinem. Sometimes, she notes, taking a leap of faith can help you let go of the past as you find out who you really are. Steinem hopes women in retirement will be perennial flowers who "re-pot" themselves and bloom many times over the years.
3. Create a success inventory, advises Judy Juricek, a human resources professional who writes the Attract Your Ideal Retirement blog. The axiom "build on your strengths" applies to retirement as well as to the workplace, she says. If you make a list of what you've accomplished so far, you may have a better idea of the kinds of things you want to do in your second act, particularly if you're thinking about looking for work in retirement. And, Juricek adds, the success inventory will "remind you of how awesome you really are."
4. You will see more opportunities when you prepare yourself to see them, says Bill Roiter, Ed.D., a clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School and author of Beyond Work. Once you know what you want to do in retirement, begin your personal prep work by "reading, listening and telling friends of your interest." The more opportunities you see, Roiter says, the greater your chances of making some of them work.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Idaho senior Andrew Dobbs and junior Marius Cirstea became ITA Mountain Region doubles champions Sunday with an 8-5 win over the No. 1 doubles team in the region, Phil Anderson and Jadon Phillips of New Mexico.
Sunday's victory capped an outstanding tournament for the unseeded duo in which they upset the top two seeded pairings in the draw and won six consecutive matches in the 64-team field to claim the region championship and earn a spot in the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships. That event held at the site of the U.S. Open, the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y., Nov. 3-6. Cirstea and Dobbs will compete in a 20-team doubles draw in the event.
Cirstea and Dobbs narrowly escaped early elimination in the draw, winning 9-7 in the round of 32 before picking up a 9-8 win over the draw's No. 2 seed in the round of 16. The pair went on to win 8-4 in the quarterfinal and 8-5 in both the semifinal and finals.
The ITA Mountain Region consists of schools located in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.
"This is another step forward for Idaho tennis," said Idaho coach Jeff Beaman, the reigning ITA Mountain Region Coach of the Year. "It is great to see Andew's progress and perseverence to accomplish this his senior year. To be voted a team captain by his teammates, win a regional championship and qualify for nationals with Marius and also have strong singles results shows what hard work can do."
"Marius has continued to make great improvements to his mental approach to the game. When he came to Idaho he had the talent to beat anybody he played in singles, but has slowly started to put it together and work very hard to develop his doubles game, which is great to see him accomplish."

French Court Orders Magazine to Hand Over Topless Photos of Kate Middleton
Three days after a French gossip magazine published photos of Kate Middleton, Dutchess of Cambridge, sunbathing topless, a court in France has ordered the magazine's publisher to hand over all digital copies and blocked future publication of the images in any medium. The court ruled yesterday that the tabloid Closer must hand over the images within 24 hours or face a penalty of $13,100 a day, the AP reports. The photos were taken without permission while Middleton and her husband, William the Duke of Cambridge, an heir to the British throne, were vacationing at a private home court in the South of France. The French court also fined the French branch of Closer's publisher, Mondadori, which is owned by Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian media mogul (and disgraced prime minister.)
Maud Sobel, a lawyer for the royal couple, said after the verdict, "We've been vindicated." However, the French court's ruling only affects Closer; the images have already been in an issue of Chi in Italy (also owned by Mondadori) and in the Independent Star of Ireland. And who knows how many websites have reposted them.
The ruling may seem surprising. France, a country that has codified droit d'auteur, "moral rights" and other artists' protections into law, and hasn't had much use for monarchs since Louis XVI was guillotined n 1793, is siding against the press in favor of some huffy royals on the other side of the Channel.
According to the court, however, the issue at stake was the couple's privacy.
The ruling states, "These snapshots which showed the intimacy of a couple, partially naked on the terrace of a private home, surrounded by a park several hundred meters from a public road, and being able to legitimately assume that they are protected from passers-by, are by nature particularly intrusive," the French ruling decreed.
While the French tradition of holding artists' rights in high regard probably dates back to the French Revolution, its privacy laws are steeped in an even older tradition: the protection of honor.
Reviewing a new history of privacy law in The New York Times, Jeffrey Rosen, a law professor and editor at The New Republic, noted that Europe and America have always had different conceptions of privacy.
Rosen says that in the European tradition, privacy was conceived "as a way of protecting human dignity (as opposed to the American one, which is more interested in privacy as a way of protecting liberty)." Quoting scholar James Q. Whitman, Rosen notes that privacy rights grew out of a "deeply hierarchical society where all citizens knew their place and how much privacy they were entitled to demand: in such a world, privacy was for aristocrats, not for common people."
The French court's decision bears out Whitman's contention: the ruling protects the honor of an aristocrat. A commoner might not have won this case. Not they would need to sue, since the breasts of us common folk aren't tabloid fodder.

Well! I did it, it may have taken me 25 years, but I've finally got myself a Nikon F3.
Since I took up photography back in 1986 I had my sights set on owning an F3. Back then it was Nikon's flagship model, state of the art – top of the range and way out of my price range. Besides, what was a poor novice photographer like me going to do with professional SLR? I needed to keep things in perspective and so I purchased a Nikon EM instead!
A bit of a come down maybe, but at least it was a start! And we all had to start somewhere.
The F3 was Nikons third generation of the professional classic. Introduced in 1980 it was the successor to the original F (1959) and the hugely popular; some might say, "Best Ever Mechanical Camera", Nikon F2 (1973). Despite some early misgivings from the pro's regarding the F3's dependence on batteries it went on to sell 750,000 units over the 21 years it remained in production.
I purchased my F3 (two in fact) from my local camera fair. Well, more of a punt than a purchase! The first one I picked up was missing a few parts, but I was told it did work. I paid £30 for the body, DE-3 (standard finder), MF-6b back (quite rare) and a 43-86mm Nikkor lens. The main missing item was a simple battery cover.
My second purchase was for a dead F3, with AS-4 (flash coupler) and an MD-4 motor drive. I paid just £20! I figured the flash coupler was worth that.
Back at base I proceeded to dissect the dead F3, carefully removing all its body parts after which an autopsy was performed on the MD-4. Although the MD-4 appeared to be dead it was only pretending! I made a make-shift repair to a broken terminal pin and cleaned the battery contacts, the MD-4 was back in business. With two new LR44's in the rejuvenated body, just like the man said it would, that too came to life. Over the next couple of days I replaced the light seals along with the wind-on and re-wind levers and the MD-4 received a new lick of paint. Job well done!
Here we see 3 out of the 6 "F" models produced. Missing (at the moment) is an F2, F5 and F6, all of which I hope to add to my collection in the future.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Roses
Fertilize with Epsom Salts (page 3 of 3)
by Charlie Nardozzi
Is Using Epsom Salts Worth a Try?
In their studies, researchers applied Epsom salts directly to the soil. Foliar applications, such as those our test gardeners used, appear to be a better way to guarantee that the plants get the benefits of the added magnesium.
Before you try Epsom salts, test the soil to determine its magnesium content. Don't rely on Epsom salts to correct large soil magnesium deficiencies, but rather use it as a supplement to soils with adequate or slightly low magnesium levels to boost plant growth, flowering, and fruiting. For severely magnesium-deficient soils, use dolomitic lime or Sul-Po-Mag. Foliar applications of Epsom salts seem work better than adding it, dry or mixed with water, directly to the soil. Plants may not efficiently take up magnesium sulfate in granular form, especially in alkaline soils or soils that already test high in potassium, calcium, or magnesium. If you have tested your soil and know it has those qualities, a foliar application is a faster way to get the nutrients to the plant.
Many rosarians agree that Epsom salts-treated planats produce more new canes at the bottom of the plant (bottom breaks) and darker green foliage. Recommendations on how much to use vary, but generally you can apply 1/2 cup of granules in spring before buds first begin to open and 1/2 cup in fall before leaves drop. Apply a foliar spray (1 tablespoon per gallon of water per foot of shrub height) after the leaves open in spring and again at flowering.
Tomato and Peppers
Magnesium deficiency in the soil may be one reason your tomato leaves yellow between the leaf veins late in the season and fruit production slows down. Test your soil every 3 years or so to check on nutrient levels. Epsom salts can keep plants greener and bushier, enhance production of healthier fruit later in the season, and potentially help reduce blossom-end rot. Apply 1 tablespoon of granules around each transplant, or spray a solution of 1 tablespoon Epsom salts per gallon of water at transplanting, first flowering, and fruit set.
Epsom salts is available in drug and grocery stores.
Epsom salts works best on soils that are...
- Slightly deficient in magnesium
- Alkaline (show high pH) as in western areas
- Old, "weathered," and acidic (with low pH) soils of the Southeast and Pacific Northwest
- High in calcium and potassium (western soils)

Do you think 2011-12 Colorado Cross Cup Races should take place over 2 days?
Submitted by David on

Cross Cup Changes for 2011 - Clarification
Submitted by David on
There has been some talk about some changes to the Colorado Cross Cup for the 2011 - 2012 season. One of the suggestions that has come up is to split the Cross Cup weekends in two. So, not all categories will run in a day but half will run on Saturday and half will run on Sunday. It would be similar to the last weekend Colorado CX State Championships.
Points: 67
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Sounds like they are considering a format similar to the past weekend at states but separating out the single speed, working in some more warm-up time and non-cup races so almost everyone has the option to race both days. This might be kinda cool, it would let people challenge in multiple cross cup categories.
Points: 78
Good for the big guys, bad for development
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
While I think this sounds like a good idea, and has lots of benefits with the extended "length" available for each race... I think it would really limit the actual amount of racing available. The ACA already won't allow two different races to be scheduled on the same day, even if they are on other sides of the divide, and the cyclocross schedule has almost zero "empty" days. All this would do, is let the promoters/clubs putting on the bigger races, have an entire weekend set aside for themselves, rather than having one day. Personally, I like the option to race one day or the other on a given weekend. Sometimes I really don't care for the promoter or the course, or simply the schedule of one given day over the other. At least that's my opinion.
Points: 59
I like the current system,
Submitted by JRD (not verified) on
I like the current system, no need to change it. Obviously there are advantages in a two-day event, but it crowds out smaller promoters imho. Also, it may have been due to the no alcohol policy, not sure, but didn't this past weekend seem a little flat? Where were the fans? Not a lot of people are going to stick around for the 55+ I guess.
Points: 66
If you could do this
Submitted by none stated at ... (not verified) on
What if you scheduled 2 different venues each weekend. Saturday would run x classes at site 1 and site 2 would run y classes and then reverse these on Sunday. The biggest drawback would be the amount of officals that will be needed for these.
But if each place ran with timing chips, would you need less officals?
As cool as it was to have a short day for states, there were no crowds to speak of, the vending was not the greatest and jr racing might be hurt by it.
just a thought...let the flaming begin. no feelings will be hurt if you dont like it.
Points: 63
That's a great idea - that
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
That's a great idea - that way everybody could still race both days and get to do 2 different venues. Otherwise, having just one race per weekend would be a disappointment. Seems like this would take a lot of coordination, though, between the promotors and that seems unlikely to pan out.
Points: 95

Cat 3 men under 35 years
Submitted by Andy (not verified) on
Cat 3 men under 35 years old would be limited to 1 race per weekend (3s or singlespeed) for the Colorado Cup weekends....unless Singlespeed could race opposite day of 3s. I'd be game for 1 geared race one day and a single speed race the other. [yes I realize I can race open men....or at least I could ride around and try not to get in the way] Not sure how many people this affects, but I'd hate to see half of the calender turn to 1 race only per weekend.
On the other hand, this could really make it easier to manage some of the crowding problems with multi-field races.
Maybe I should get a fake birth certificate/driver's license saying I'm 35...
Points: 68
Agreed on the lack of fans for States
Submitted by John K (not verified) on
I raced this past weekend on Sat in 35+/4 but came back on Sunday to watch the men's open race. When I drove up I was a bit late, and I almost thought I missed it. The crowd was so small and some vendors were already packing up their tents. Turns out there were four laps left. Didn't have the "feel" of a major championship race however. I think splitting days should probably only be done for big races and the premier events (men's and women's open) should be held mid-day.
Points: 61
2 Day Format is Good
Submitted by Ben Ollett (not verified) on
I like the 2 day format for CO Cups. The CO Cup should be the premier series in CO, and I think that requires having fewer total CO Cup races - a quality over quantity approach. This year it is still an attendance award. The only change I'd make to the 2 day format is to move SS to Saturday with the age group races, and have all the category races on Sunday. Then people can easily race twice per weekend should they desire. There are a whole lot of cx races over the course of a season, and sheer quantity of available races shouldn't be the determining factor in putting on a top notch race series.
What do promoters think? How does putting on a two day event compare to a one day event?
Points: 19
2 day format for Co Cross Championships
Submitted by chris grealish (not verified) on
As the group responsible to conduct ACA's 2010 Cross Championships we can provide some feedback for the post asking for promoter input. In volunteering to do the Championships this year, we were hoping to pick up where we left off in 2008 at Arapahoe Ridge High school and continuing raising the bar wherever we could.
We developed the schedule for the weekend. Our goal was to give people as many options as possible if they wanted to race more than once. Also in doing so, it would help pay for the replicated costs incurred by holding the event over 2 days instead of the traditional 1 day "dawn till dark" system.
In hindsight, moving the single speed race to a separate time frame is in order. The tune up race we offered on Saturday was not as well received as we had expected. We'll scrap that next year and add more open warm up time slots.
Overall we are really pleased with the response to the weekend. We accomodated 200 more "racer days" than in 2009. 657 to 457. We had 82 Juniors-22 girls and 60 boys. We kept the entry fee low (day of was same cost as on-line reg). and offered any adult second race for only $15. Monarch High's Catering Class raised many hundreds of dollars for their program with food and beverage sales. The cost to rent the facility comes to almost $ 5,500 before accounting for any grass damage/restoration fees are considered.
The late start each day was GREAT for us. The 2 day format doubles costs like officials,lunches, venue fees, and staff pay. Should ACA pay a promoter to conduct the championships ? Should state championship promoter have to pay surcharges and officials costs ? We don't think so. Should dbc have the option of approaching USA Cycling to become title sponsor of ACA's State Championships ? Probably not but there is nothing in the books that prevents it either. Hopefully we can continue the momentum from this season into the cross promoters meeting in early spring. Stay tuned. CG

awesome event
Submitted by Andy (not verified) on
Once again, awesome race put on by you guys. And I'm really pumped that singlespeed may be moved to saturday for this type of schedule. That would definitely maximize options for 2 races over the weekend.
I'm hoping the ACA could work with promoters on the 2-day schedule to help absorb some of the costs involved with putting on 1 race over 2 days.
The only "down side" is I see smaller crowds. Not that this matters. If the schedule is split, the fan attendance will be pretty split over both days as well. Just the way it goes.

People who work on weekends.......
Submitted by Colin Vito (not verified) on
I work every third Saturday. Unless the category I race in happened to be on Sunday I wouldn't be able to race that weekend. I like it the way it currently is as it really gives people options if their schedule doesn't work to race on one of the weekend days. What about guys or gals that work at bike shops? Maybe they can't race on Saturday either.....

lack of fans for mens
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I have to agree with the comments on the mens race being held mid-day and probably one day. If I were a sponsor or vendor, as much as this doesn't satisfy all interested parties, I would want a one day event. It might mean bigger fields with mixed cats. But the best atmosphere for cross is lots of FANS. That creates buzz, excitement, and drives revenue which directly or indirectly helps all involved. While everyone is there for other races, they are likely to stick around for the premier races vs come back the next day.
Cuts cost and concentrates the fans. Not ideal, but probably best to grow the sport fan base until it can properly host 2 days of full house racing.
BTW, don't do it at a school with a no alcohol (beer) laws. Cross should attract all the fallen away Bronco fans who want to see a real sport. We need beer to compete and show them a real sport!

Schedule options, fan turnout
Submitted by Brendan Billingsley (not verified) on
On the issue of fan turnout for the open race, I think it was A LOT higher then 2009 when all races were on one day so I don't think you can conclude that a two day event had worse turnout. Last year I believe I was one of less then 10 people at the finish line to watch an amazing sprint in the mens open race.
Some thoughts on the race schedule, I have not done any serious data analysis to back these thoughts up.
On splitting the CCC races across two days, I think we should consider multiple options used together with some races split across two days while others are a single day. I would have to look at turnout vs location more carefully but I suspect that any race held outside the Boulder/Denver area has lower turnout (Cross at the River was 247 racers, Aspen Lodge was 435, Boulder CX 3 was 536, Boulder cup was 597). I think it could make sense to have different CCC categories, some races like Cross at the River can run all categories, some that are in Boulder can be split between Saturday and Sunday or could run fewer categories and be CCC for either senior men or masters/juniors. If it was possible it would be great to run one huge weekend at two venues with mirrored race schedules (NACT weekend jumps to mind), I suspect this would be hard to do because of the race support required.
Last I think we should consider eliminating the 35+ Cat 4 SM field and replacing it with a SM 5 field. Current cat 4 racers could be split between the two fields. The cat 4 field had the situation of racers being lapped by the third lap in some races, while the 35+ 4s were too large some days and also have racers being lapped really early in the race. This could also simplify the upgrade path as 35+ 4 racers currently upgrade to the 35+ open field which seems to be a huge jump. Disclaimer - I am under 35 so this is all through observation, not participation.

Capital Markets and Investments builds on knowledge from Corporate Finance, Managerial Statistics, and Decision Models course to understand asset valuation and investment decisions. Capital markets uses and builds upon the basic valuation tools developed in Corporate Finance such as arbitrage valuation, time value of money, understanding risk-return tradeoffs, the CAPM, and asset valuation. In analyzing various markets and assets, Capital Markets uses a large amount of material from Statistics, including the following: statistical modeling, random variables and distributions, parameter estimators, hypothesis testing, and regression. Optimization methods and stochastic modeling tools from Decision Models are also widely used, especially in portfolio construction and risk control. There are also some connections, though to a lesser degree, with Global Economic Environment especially in the Fixed Income Unit in discussing bond markets and the role of central banks and monetary policy.

"This absolutely one my family's favorite recipes. I can see why it won a contest!"
"I made this for Thanksgiving and it is so, very good! My daughter has requested it once a month. I'll make it each holiday."
"OH MY, i also reduced the sugar and found it was great. I reduced sugar by 1/4 cup"
"This was okay, but we found it way too sweet, especially the topping. If I make it again I'd make half of the topping as there is way too much and also reduce the sugar content significantly."
"This was a big hit. I left out the orange liqueur. I baked the crust for about 15 minutes at 350, so it wouldn't crumble. Also made one without crust for a gluten-free version and that was great as well."

Stan's NoTubes Arch EX 29" Disc Mountain Bike Front WheelThe Stan's Arch EX 29" Disc Mountain Bike Front Wheel is stronger and lighter for 2012. Arch rims use Stan's new bead socket technology instead of the traditional bead hook. The result is a lower rim sidewall, which reduces strain on the bead, creates a tighter seal and virtually eliminates pinch flats. It's so effective, you can even get away with using thinner, lighter rim strips and still avoid pinch flats.
- A lightweight 29" MTB wheel that's stout enough to handle aggressive trail riding
- Stan's new bead socket technology moves the sidewall of the rim down by 2-3mm to virtually eliminate pinch flats
- Bead strain is reduced to create a tighter seal between tire and rim
- Stan's Arch EX wheel is taped air-tight using yellow spoke tape and can be used tubeless with the included valve stems
- Quick-release skewers & 15mm thru axle adapter included

Mike Tyson proved he can still deliver a knockout. Hands down, Tyson gave one of the best zings in an interview I've ever heard when Larry King asked him about the infamous Barbara Walters interview with him and ex-wife Robin Givens.
Here's the transcript: (To read the full transcript, click here)
Larry King: Why did you do that interview with Robin Givens and Barbara Walters?
Mike Tyson: Because I was a schmuck back then. I was just a young kid. I'm a schmuck, Larry, that's why. I don't why I did it.
Larry King: You sat there and she's telling all these terrible things about you and you're sitting there taking it.
Mike Tyson: I don't know Larry. What should I have did, kicked her in the head? Larry you tell me –
Larry King: No.
Mike Tyson: You give me advice Larry.
Larry King: Don't go on the show.
Mike Tyson: I'm — I know. Well, I should have had you as my advisor or something back then, you know. I mean you have more experience with women than I do and that matters.

McCarl charges to World of Outlaws main event win at Volusia
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 1:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 12:00 a.m.
BARBERVILLE — Terry McCarl held off Kasey Kahne Racing's Daryn Pittman to capture the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series main event Saturday night at UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment at Volusia Speedway Park.
McCarl, of Altoona, Iowa, started from the outside of the front row in the 30-lap feature and immediately surged to the lead in front of 20-time champion Steve Kinser, who wound up dropping out after making contact with his Tony Stewart Racing teammate Donny Schatz. McCarl's victory was his first against the Outlaws since July 17, 2009, at Eldora Speedway.
"When you win any feature it's great," said McCarl, a seven-time Knoxville Raceway champion who collected $10,000 for the victory. "When you win an Outlaw show, it's even better, and to win an event like this, where there's so many tough competitors, it's even better."
In DIRTcar UMP Modified action, Jacob Poel, of Spring Lake, Mich., survived a caution-filled, 20-lap feature event to earn a victory and lock himself into Monday's Gator Championship.
Runner-up Matt Cooper, Wendell Wallace, Friday night winner Nick Hoffman and Tuesday night winner Rodney Sanders also guaranteed spots in the Gator, the highest-paying DIRTcar UMP Modified event during UNOH DIRTcar Nationals.
The action continues Sunday night with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series finale and Night 2 of Gator Championship qualifying for DIRTcar UMP Modifieds. DIRTcar Late Models join the action at Volusia beginning Monday.

ZF-8411: Consider using 'term' if 'label' is an empty string in Zend_Feed_Reader_Collection_Category::getValues()
Zend_Feed_Reader_Collection_Category::getValues() currently returns an array of 'label' values. This makes sense as the label element (according to the Atom Syndication Format specification) is supposed to be human-readable. However, the label attribute is optional (again, according to the Atom Syndication Format specification) and some feeds instead use the required 'term' attribute. Consider adding the 'term' attribute to the returned array instead of the 'label' attribute if and when the 'label' attribute is an empty string. For reference:
As a side note, this new category functionality is working very well!
Implement with r20953 - sorry for the longer than usual wait ;)

exclusion and wonder are all part of the process
you're quite the interesting fellow, but I suppose your philosophies when it comes to CL will work
when cl first gets accepted to something like this, i want him to realize it is because he has become great and geniunely deserves it! then he will start dominating.
i half dont event expect him to become a great poster while he's still on pd
I have faith in him. If he's this good of a poster at age 11, he's going to be one hell of a poster at age 17
I hope god sent it to the people he can trust, the password could leak out, andit could create chaos.
Wait, CL is 11?
His birthday was'nt that long ago :/
It's CL, why the hell would I keep track of his life?
Because he's my apprentice
eve this thread needs archived because of that single post. pure gold
Uzamaki, only the very best threads get archived.
I know which threads get archived. I myself might need to borrow the [/sarcasm] tag. Permission to borrow DSX?
Azn was the closest, but you already discovered him after he became good. You're list his discovering agent.
no, I saw him before he became big. If you do recall, I didn't much care for him when he first came. Then i saw his little sister......
Pichubro? I have to Credit her, but she was destined to be great. Even if I wasn't by her side, she'd still be the greatest poster on PD history. PERIOD
I still don't know my aprentice.
Yeah but you started liking him once he stopped sucking. He wasn't big but he was still good. I stuck with CL from the begining, because I saw something in him!!!
What about Aidy Tim, what about Aidey?
DA is the best. The person who made him who he was deserves a trophy and a free dinner at Outback

Decoding the mysteries of fleet management
"Visibility" is the buzzword these days among supply chain circles, while inside the four walls the concept of "lift truck fleet management" has quickly become the Holy Grail for savvy managers looking to get a better handle on costs. Amid the scramble for both, traditions are being challenged, business relationships are becoming more nuanced, and new products, services and technologies are emerging at a rapid rate.
And while establishing a comprehensive lift truck fleet management program can seem like a surefire source of savings and transparency, fleet mangers have encountered a few misconceptions and miscommunications along the way. To help overcome the early missteps, industry experts and manufacturers are now working to ensure that fleet managers are aware of the opportunities and pitfalls associated with a more structured—or more flexible—approach to fleet management.
According to Scott McLeod, president of independent lift truck fleet management company Fleetman Consulting, the heart of fleet management is identifying and managing each lift truck's operating cost per hour. McLeod says that there are more than 40 separate costs associated with a lift truck, including fuel, depreciation, operator costs, and even the impact of aisle design and warehouse layout on a lift truck's operation.
"Customers might feel that there's only so much time in a day, and lift trucks are at the bottom of their to-do list. But if they have to do it, they just might find that there are thousands—if not hundreds of thousands—of dollars to save."
But where do you start? Who should be involved? How should it be implemented? "It's about peeling back the onion," says McLeod. "If you do the basics well then you're ahead of 80% of the companies out there."
To help readers gain some ground, we've created a set of guidelines for navigating the adoption of an effective fleet management program with the help of a panel of consultants, suppliers and end users. No off-the-shelf solution will work for everyone, but these practices will help fleet managers avoid wasting time and money as they reconnect to their fleet's true costs.
1) Understand what it is
According to Nick Adams, business development manager for the Mitshubishi Caterpillar Forklift America (MCFA) fleet services group, fleet managers should not fixate on assuming fleet management has a single definition. "A lot of people will tell you that fleet management means a full maintenance contract. That's not necessarily true. They also say fleet management will always produce cost savings. That's also not true. Like any product, it's a set of tools that you have to use correctly to get savings."
Michael McKean, fleet management sales and marketing manager for Toyota Material Handling, says it's imperative that fleet management not be confused with other capital expenses. "The company might have five projects on the agenda, like a new roof or a new dock," says McKean. "But those are just projects. Materials handling equipment is not a project, it's an essential part of a well-run business."
2) Know your needs
A well-run business will pay attention both to its customers and to its status as a customer, according to Adams. "You have to understand your requirements relative to your assets," he says. "Two people may order different things from the same menu based on budget and tastes, and both are good meals."
Before pursuing a third-party maintenance agreement or new equipment, McLeod advises customers take stock of what they have and what it's costing them. "I've seen operations with 15-year-old trucks so well maintained that it makes sense not to upgrade," he says. "Other places have trucks that are three years old and are a disaster."
Jason Bratton is vice president of business development for BEB Industrial Asset Management, a third-party forklift fleet management company. Bratton says that each customer might have its own preferences for how to do business. "Third-party invoice consolidation works for some but not for others," says Bratton. "End users either find they need that service or would rather keep control over it for other reasons."
According to Patrick DeSutter, director of fleet management for NAACO Materials Handling Group, customers need to understand their asset mix—especially short-term rentals that have overstayed their welcome. "You need an enterprise-wide mindset," says DeSutter. "A series of separate programs might not be working toward the common good."
3) Communicate, communicate, communicate
Communication is often the single best way to ensure progress toward the common good. And it's important to communicate not just with your fleet management partner, says Bratton, but also within your organization. "It's critical for the success of a rollout," he says. "If we're calling a site to begin a preliminary fleet assessment and the first time they've heard about us is from us, that's a problem."
Effective communication is about more than memos. A discussion of motives and objectives with a fleet management partner will help a customer later evaluate the service. And communication within a company generates enterprise-wide buy-in that can be essential for the success of the program. A new fleet management program is unlikely to succeed if it's as fractured and disconnected as the problem.
4) Don't change too quickly
Initial communications can brace an organization for change. But as fleet managers work to identify costs, it's essential to collect data at a manageable pace and to react to the data with incremental steps, not sweeping change.
"In fact, some clients should not change anything in the first three months," says Bratton. "It allows your fleet management partner to establish a baseline. Let's not go in guns blazing, saying we need to change this, fire them, buy these trucks."
Depending on how well-capitalized a customer is, rapid change might not be a problem, says McLeod. A customer might instead plan to evolve over five or more years if it doesn't have the capital to swap an entire or partial fleet. "Take things in bites, with a methodical approach and frequent pauses to review goals and progress," says DeSutter.
Once a customer has established a baseline it can then address things like avoidable damage caused by either the operator or the facility design. "These can be significant costs," says DeSutter, "as high as 25% to 35% of the lift truck maintenance spend."

MBM seeks an inch, finds a mile
Eight years ago, MBM Corporation, a leader in food distribution, partnered with Crown Equipment and set out to find some answers. There was no crisis, simply a notion that some efficiencies could be squeezed from a fleet that MBM thought it was already handling rather well. Today, at the company's 34 distribution centers across the country, fleets are as much as 22% smaller, and the company has cut equipment and maintenance costs by 10%.
Sean Bennett, director of financial operations for MBM, says, "The most surprising element of fleet management implementation was learning all the things we didn't know we needed to know."
Before implementing a suite of fleet tracking software, Bennett says lift truck usage, cost and quantity was unclear, with inconsistent or nonexistent inventory listings from one DC to another.
"Our idea of fleet management was simply looking at the general ledger for maintenance costs," says Bennett, adding that MBM once processed 15,000 fleet maintenance invoices annually.
"Today we have just one invoice per month," says Bennett. "We know so much more about what we spend, by DC, by truck type, by make and model, by parts and labor. We track each piece of equipment at the serial number level."
By taking a holistic approach, Bennett says MBM has lengthened the life cycle of its equipment by two to three times, while enjoying less cost, more productivity and more compliance. For instance, when lift truck inspections required pens and paper, the form had to be legible, hand-delivered, photocopied, and filed.
"That's kind of exhausting," says Bennett. "Now, you log in, the form is stored electronically, and if the inspection reveals that the lift isn't safe, it automatically locks out and pings both management and maintenance. I would say the system easily cuts our time in half."

Rod Perry rolls to Indian River win
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 6:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 8:13 p.m.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH — Rod Perry has played a lot of tournament golf and collected a lot of first-place checks, but Sunday was special for a couple of reasons.
Top finishers from the Indian River Open, played Saturday-Sunday on the par-72 New Smyrna Beach Golf Club:
Rod Perry, $2,800 65-66—131
Chris Baker, $1800 67-67—134
J.C. Horne, $1285 68-67—135
Kevin Aylwin, $950 68-68—136
Jeff Dennis, $950 65-71—136
Bob Sowards, $950 68-68—136
Shawn Warren, $950 68-68—136
Richard Swift, $637 70-67—137
Nick Lindheim, $637 68-69—137
Jonathan Hodge, $637 69-68—137
Kyle Sapp, $637 70-67—137
Jhared Hack, $637 68-69—137
Jason Millard, $637 70-67—137

He won in his hometown, capturing his second Indian River Open, nine years after his first, on the New Smyrna Beach Golf Club layout where he grew up with a club in his hands — "It's a blast winning in front of your family and friends," he said.
And it was his first tournament win where one of his two kids — 5-year-old daughter Vanessa — wasn't only in the gallery, but had an idea of what was happening.
"It might be the first time she understands what her dad does — that he actually does something pretty cool," said Perry, whose Sunday 66 gave him a two-day total of 13-under-par 131, good for a three-shot win over Jacksonville's Chris Baker (67-67).
Another local — former Seabreeze High golfer J.C. Horne (68-67) — finished at 9 under par and was third in the 125-player field. Kevin Aylwin, like Perry a product of New Smyrna Beach High, shot 68-68 and tied for fourth in his professional debut. Another New Smyrna Beach golfer, Austen Truslow, shot 67-72 to tie for 20th and finish as low amateur.
Perry, the director of golf at Crane Lakes Golf Club in Port Orange, earned $2,800 for the win. He set the tone early Sunday with birdies on the second and fifth holes, then an eagle on the par-5 sixth, where he dropped a 45-foot putt. Birdies on Nos. 7 and 9 gave him a 6-under 30 on the front nine. He lost momentum with back-to-back 3-putt bogeys on the par-4 11th and par-3 12th — "The greens got faster later in the day and I just blew both putts by the hole," he said.
A birdie on 13 righted things for Perry, who made pars until an up-and-down birdie on the par-5 closing hole gave him his three-shot winning margin.
The Indian River Open, one of the oldest mini-tour events in the state, is part of the Florida Professional Golf Tour, which continues through the end of winter and returns to the area for its season-ending Daytona Beach Open in late March at Daytona Beach Golf club.

SoL to host official Foundation Day
by Foundation of Light
Dedicated Foundation of Light matchday.
Sunderland AFC's forthcoming Barclays Premier League game against Arsenal has been designated as 'Foundation Day' in recognition of the club's registered charity, the Foundation of Light.
Taking place on Saturday 9 February, the aim of the day is to raise awareness and funds for the organisation, which worked with more than 40,000 children and adults last year.
Sunderland AFC's players will warm up in special Foundation of Light t-shirts prior to the game and Martin O'Neill's side will take to the field in one-off match shirts bearing the Foundation's logo, which will then be individually signed and auctioned off after the game in aid of the charity.
A range of activities will take place throughout the day, both outside the Stadium prior to kick off and at half time on the pitch. There will also be opportunities for fans to win some fantastic prizes as well as learn more about the work of charity.
Established 11 years ago by former Sunderland AFC Chairman Sir Bob Murray CBE, the Foundation of Light is one of the biggest and most developed football foundations in the world. Structurally and financially independent from the football club, the Foundation relies on fundraising for 95% of project costs every year.
Speaking ahead of the event, Foundation of Light Chief Executive Lesley Spuhler said: "We're very excited to be holding our 'Foundation Day' at the upcoming Arsenal fixture and are incredibly grateful for the support that everyone at Sunderland AFC has given us in order to make this happen.
"The primary objective of the day is to engage with more people, not just as fundraisers but as participants, partners and ambassadors. We support the local community, are here for that local community and are looking forward to working with even more people over the coming year."
A 'Community Fundraiser' initiative will also be launched at the game aimed at helping community spirited individuals become involved in supporting positive change in the region.
The Foundation of Light's Head of Commercial Phil King added: "We've worked hard to make it easy for people to become a part of who we are, what we do and to get involved. From 380 mile cycle challenges, one mile walks, football tournaments, to helping people organising their own events, the Foundation offers something for absolutely everyone."
