College Hockey:Sertich retiring as head coach of Bemidji State women's team
After eight seasons behind the bench of the Bemidji State women's program, head coach Steve Sertich is retiring.
Sertich, who has led the Beavers to 81 wins, eight postseason appearances and the program's first stint in the national polls, announced his decision at a press conference Monday afternoon.
"I've truly enjoyed my time as a teacher and coach at both the high school and Division I levels and now I look forward to the next chapter of my life," said Sertich in a news release.
"I want to thank Steve for his time as the head women's hockey coach at Bemidji State University," added BSU director of athletics Tracy Dill. "Although my time working with Steve has been short, it is evident that he cares deeply about the program, staff and more importantly, the student-athletes. I wish Steve the best in retirement and thank him for all he has done to make BSU a better place."
The 2009-10 WCHA coach of the year, Sertich leaves Bemidji State program as the all-time wins leader with 81 – surpassing each of his predecessors by more than 50 wins.
Sertich led the Beavers to their eighth consecutive WCHA playoff appearance to conclude the 2013-14 campaign, a season that saw BSU register an overall record of 11-21-4 with an 8-17-3 mark in league play
In 2011-12, Bemidji State picked up a program-record 17 wins and finished 17-17-3 overall, which included five wins over ranked opponents and a national ranking. In addition, Zuzana Tomcikova became the program's first All-America selection.
Sertich came to Bemidji State in 2006-07 after spending 13 years as the head varsity coach at Roseville Area High School. He coached the Roseville boys' team from 1993-2003, leading it to a 156-71-11 record and two Minnesota State tournament appearances and two Suburban East Conference Championships. Sertich also earned four coach of the year honors.
In 2003, Sertich moved to head coach of the Roseville High School girls' varsity team and in three seasons in the position, he led the program to a record of 62-21-2. The Roseville girls captured Suburban East Conference titles in both 2004 and 2005 and Sertich was named the 2004 Section 2AA Girls' coach of the year.
Sertich began his coaching career in 1976 as the head boys' varsity coach at Northfield High School and over the next 20 years, held a variety of head and assistant coaching positions at the high school, college and national team levels.
In the spring of 2010, Sertich was inducted into the Minnesota High School Hockey Coaches Hall of Fame.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
wabi-sabi, Wabi-Sabi Wednesday, Simply Imperfect, Charles Eames, Ray Eames
On Wabi-Sabi Wednesdays, I feature excerpts from my upcoming book, Simply Imperfect: Revisiting the Wabi-Sabi House, which will be released next month. This week's post discusses how Charles and Ray Eames brought a wabi-sabi spirit to midcentury America.
Charles and Ray Eames's enduring furniture designs were fresh air for many Americans in the mid 20th century (and beyond), who wanted a contemporary look but found extreme modernism cold and sterile. The husband-and-wife team used newly emerging industrial materials such as molded plywood and plastic to produce items for everyday use that were both beautiful and affordable. Sir Terence Conran calls their furniture "intensely human, charming, and kind." In a 1996 tribute, designer Tibor Kalman said the Eames's ubiquitous, unpretentious molded plywood "potato chip" chair was like a lover. "It can be lived with, seen every day, change and evolve, and slowly reveal its beauty," he wrote. Craig Hodgetts, who designed a Los Angeles exhibition on Charles and Ray Eames, points out that what the designers left out of their designs—"the pomposity, hierarchy, and stodginess associated with 'important' stuff'"—is just as crucial as what they put into them.
The Eames's Pacific Palisades home, one of the Art & Architecture magazine-sponsored Case Study houses built in the late 1940s, demonstrated the freedom that can be found in straightforward, unpretentious design. Built with the same simple, clean lines as their furniture, the Eames's open-plan home was modern yet human, with a Japanese influence that included vertical-louvered blinds, tatami mats and Isamu Noguchi paper lanterns. It had a humble, fleeting quality, with a large, unbroken area where items they collected—driftwood, sculptures, mobiles, plants—could be brought in or taken away. Their living room was home to a continually changing collage of Indian embroideries, Mexican clay dolls, ceramic bowls, antique toys (which they collected as fine examples of design principles) and dried desert weeds—all treated with equal regard.
The Eames's often-stated goal was to help people see beauty in everyday objects. Charles Eames's grandson, Eames Demetrios, recalls spending hours following his grandfather around as he took pictures of cobwebs because Charles preferred spiders and picnics to museums or galleries for his grandson's art appreciation lessons. Rolf Fehlbaum, a longtime friend of the Eameses, said the couple had so much fun in their daily lives that they never took holidays. "They didn't need them," he said, "they enjoyed themselves so much."
Charles and Ray Eames's home was open yet cozy, with room for continually changing seasonal displays.
The couple was heavily influenced by spare Japanese design.
The Eames's home was spare and perfectly imperfect.

Liverpool's academy director Frank McParland believes it is only a matter of time before an Asian player makes it at the club.
McParland watched Liverpool's U18 team narrowly overcome an impressive Singapore U21 side on Friday to reach the final of the NexLions Cup - and he believes the standard of Asian football is improving all the time.
"I was impressed by both the skill and the physical presence of the Singapore team," said McParland, who spent three hours at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Saturday meeting officials from the Singapore FA before giving a presentation to players from the national academy about how the LFC Academy works.
"Every time I come to Asia, I'm more and more impressed with the standard of football I see - particularly from the younger age groups.
"We're always looking at players when we play. We always look at the opposition and if someone does really well, you can be sure they'll be scouted properly.
"I'm sure it won't be long before we have an Asian star at Liverpool.
"It's just great to have top players from anywhere in the world, whether it's Australia, Asia, America or Allerton. We just want the very best players for Liverpool Football Club, so it's important that we don't just look in Allerton, we look in places like Asia as well."
McParland's view on the standard of Singaporean football was echoed by LFC's new reserve team manager Alex Inglethorpe, who delivered a one-hour training session at the stadium on Saturday to members of the national academy's U18 age group.
Having seen them up close, Inglethorpe couldn't hide his admiration for their natural talent.
"They played with such natural ability, it was very impressive," he said. "They had a freedom to how they played and that probably comes from the fact that they are street footballers. They haven't had that natural flair coached out of them.
"Some of the things they were trying were outrageous but they had the courage to try those things and sometimes they came off. It was a real joy to spend an hour with them and they were incredibly hungry to try the drills and tasks I was putting to them. I hope they got something out of the session because I know I did."

When Henry DeGroot wrote, "Don't believe the lies your school and government tell you," in violation of his signed code of conduct, he says he did so with the hope "the kids would read it and think about why this foreigner was writing this." If DeGroot had been properly prepared, he would have known the kids perhaps would think the following: He was arrogant; disrespected their elders, their teachers, and the kids themselves; had caused them to lose face; was ignorant of their culture; and was immature. That he was hoping "they would be critical, or at least think about how their school and government interacts with them," points to a failure in Newton's cultural preparation program.
Unfortunately, many schools pay mere lip service to the idea of cross-cultural preparation. Without preparation students get less out of semester-abroad programs and often return with negative stereotypical images of the host country.
The best preparation addresses cognitive, emotional, and attitudinal learning combined with on-site discussions of personal experiences. Teaching "the intricacies of Chinese culture and social norms," as Newton does, addresses only the cognitive portion of the necessary preparation. Newton should assess its current program against these criteria.
The writer provides training and coaching in cross-cultural management.

Depression Health Center
Depression Linked to Alzheimer's Disease
3 Studies Show Depression, Dementia Link
The study was one of three published in the July 6 issue of Neurology, suggesting a link between late-life depression and dementia.
In a separate study that included just over 1,200 older participants, having two or more episodes of depression late in life doubled the risk of dementia, but not a lesser form of cognitive decline known as mild cognitive impairment.
In a third study, symptoms of depression showed little change during the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease.
"The association between depression and dementia has been a major topic for more than two decades, and it is increasingly clear this association is real," Alzheimer's researcher Yonas E. Geda, MD, tells WebMD.
Geda is an associate professor of neurology and psychiatry at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minn.
In an editorial published with the studies, Geda suggested several possible explanations for the observed link between late-life depression and dementia, including:
- Major depression may directly damage the part of the brain associated with learning and memory via inflammation or the release of stress hormones.
- Depression may be in response to early, but medically unrecognized, memory declines.
- Depression may act synergistically with biological factors that have been linked to dementia to cause cognitive decline.
- The same biological factors that lead to depression late in life also lead to dementia.
A major brain imaging study known as the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative may lead to new insights into the association between depression and dementia, Geda says.
If depression is a direct risk factor for dementia, treating more elderly people for depression could have a big impact, Saczynski adds.

Shock Absorber, Surveyor
These are back-up aluminum honey-combed crushable shock absorbers that were attached to the three legs of the Surveyor spacecraft that went to the Moon in the 1960s. Although not flown to the Moon, they are identical to those on the five Surveyor soft-landing spacecraft that successfully reached the Moon during the period from May 30, 1966 to January 9, 1968. The overall objectives of the Surveyor program were to accomplish soft landings on the Moon, obtain data concerning temperature, chemical composition, and load-bearing characteristics of the lunar soil in support of the Apollo program, televise high quality photographs of the lunar surface, and perform operations on the lunar surface that would contribute new scientific knowledge about the Moon.
Hughes Aircraft Company donated these to the Museum in 1972.

CONFERENCE REPORT RIPA's spring technical meeting gave the Association the chance to update its members on current regulatory developments in an atmosphere of southern hospitality, as Paul Rankin reports
SHOW REPORT There was much in store for drum users and big bag buyers alike at this year's Interpack exhibition at the Messe Düsseldorf this past May 8-15
INFORMATION In the new spirit of inter-association collaboration, ISDI has teamed up with RIPA to publish a guide on steel drum testing and added a number of new resources to its website
RESULTS Greif, the world's largest producer of industrial packagings, has finished 2013 with an improved bottom line, thanks in part to its recent IBC investments
The Steel Shipping Container Institute (SSCI) has renamed itself as the Industrial Steel Drum Institute, and revamped its website.
Mauser Group has sold its US steel drum reconditioning business, American Container Net, to Industrial Container Services (ICS) of Montebello, California.
The Indian market for 210 litre steel drums has traditionally grown at around 3 to 4 per cent per annum, but the past three years have seen "accelerated growth of perhaps five to six per cent"
Germany's Sulo has brought online a new state-of-the- art steel drum production line at its plant in Herford.
Italian-headquartered OMCE reports that the local steel drum market is currently "reducing by 5 to 10 per cent" per annum.

Several weeks ago my five-year-old granddaughter began telling me about this big creature my brother had found near the ditch bank and had shown her. She wanted to know if I knew what it was called and if it was something people could eat.
As it turns out, the creature was a large crawfish. In order to answer her second question, I researched "how to eat a crawfish" since I could not find a reason anyone would want to.
According to Louisianians, once you get the hang of eating crawfish, you'll be eating them by the pound. In fact, they suggest you learn the proper technique for eating a crawfish (see below), then teach it to your friends and family at a traditional crawfish boil.
Remove the head from the tail: Pinch the head between two fingers with one hand, and hold the tail with your other hand. Give the head a twist until it comes off. (The head should twist off easily. If it doesn't, the crawfish may not be fully cooked.)
Suck the head: Place the open part of the head between your lips and suck out the juices. This part of the crawfish is considered a delicacy in the Southern United States. (The head may be discarded if you are squeamish about eating it.)
Crack the tail's shell: Pinch the shell that covers the tail with your fingers to crack it all over. Remove the shell and discard it.
Devein the crawfish: Hold the tail with one hand and peel back the outer layer of skin from the top of the crawfish with your other hand. The digestive track will be pulled off with the tail. Discard it.
Eat the tail meat: The tail meat is the most substantial part of the crawfish, and can be eaten right away or used to make other crawfish dishes. Crawfish ėtouffėe, a traditional Cajun dish, and crawfish pizza are popular in the South.
Suck the claws: Most crawfish have small claws that can be cracked open and sucked for their meat and juices. Larger crawfish have large claws with pieces of meat that can be pulled out and eaten.
If eating crawfish this way does not appeal to you, you may want to ease into the whole crawfish thing by first trying this recipe for crawfish soup.
- 1 stick butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, minced finely
- ¼ cup green onion, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced finely
- 2 cans cream of potato soup
- 1 can cream style white or yellow corn
- 1 pound crawfish tails with fat
- 1 quart half & half
- Salt to taste
- Tony Cashere's Seasoning Mix, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped finely
- Melt stick of butter in medium-sized pot over medium to medium-high heat.
- Sauté onions in butter, then add celery, green onion and garlic. Simmer for an additional five minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients.
- Simmer 30 – 40 minutes.
- Serve hot with French bread or garlic bread.

According to researches, developing and maintaining good health requires a lot of time, dedication, and persistence. Good health is not about reaching a phase, but a life journey. There is no destination for good health. It does not matter where you are with your health; there is always something that you improve. In order to have dedication and persistence to move forward with your health, you would need to have internal motivation. The higher your internal motivation level, the higher your dedication and persistent levels will be that will help you move forward with your health. In life, the person that can guarantee you for your health success is you. If you rely on other people to motivate you, then you are taking the risk on your health because they will not always be there to motivate you. For example, when you are by yourself and you have no internal motivation, then who is going to motivate you to stay healthy? And then, you will have a very high chance of failing. In this case, the best internal motivation to help you move forward is for you to find your purpose on why you want to develop and maintain good health. A purpose is a reason why you want good health. The stronger your purpose, the higher your internal motivation will be. To help you find the right purpose for your health, try taking the following action steps: ACTION STEPS 1. Discover the benefits of health. Do your own research on the benefits of health. For example, good health will provide with you the right physical, mental, emotionally, and spiritually energies so you can become productive and successful in whatever you are doing. If you do not know the benefits for good health, then you would not know how to find the right purpose to motivate you to move forward. For example, if you have a purpose that does not require energy from health, then why would you put the time, dedication, and persistence to develop good health? As a human being, you only put the energy and time into things that you know will benefit you personally. 2. Discover your purpose. Why do you need good health for? Why do you need the energy from good health? Write down every signal reason why you want and need good health. For example, do you need the energy from health so you can take care of your children? Do you need the energy so you can stay focus in order to help other people? For example, if you say that you need and want good health so you can take care of your children, then your purpose would be to take care of your children. Or if you do not have children, your purpose for good health might be to accomplish thing quicker and better. 3. After you pick your purpose, ask yourself this question, does your purpose bring you happiness? If something does not bring you happiness, then you would not engage into it, which means you will not take the time and dedication to develop and maintain good health. Whatever your purpose is, list down exactly how your purpose will bring you happiness. Even though something might bring you happiness, but if you do not know exactly how it will bring you happiness, then it will be unlikely to motivate you to move forward. Self-Test: If your purpose does not motivate you to keep on moving forward, then it is the wrong purpose for you, which means you would need to find a different purpose. For example, if you say your purpose for good health is to take care of your family, but your health is not moving forward, then it is the wrong purpose or you truly do not understand how your family can bring you happiness. When you understand and find the right purpose, it should motivate you to always improve your health. Do not give up on finding the right purpose for your health; even if you already failed four or five times, because the benefit that you will get from good health is worth the wait. Not only will you gain the benefits and happiness from good health, but you will be able to fulfill your purpose so much better.

Forests play crucial ecological, social and economic roles in drylands, but in many regions they have become degraded. Worldwide, millions of hectares of dryland forest landscapes need to be restored to help tackle global challenges such as poverty, climate change, soil erosion and desertification. In collaboration with its partners, therefore, FAO is preparing guidelines for restoring the resilience of forest landscapes in drylands, to be published in the second half of 2013. This brochure describes the main elements of the guidelines.

The annual horse show to benefit the Medina County Home on Sunday morning couldn't have had better weather — a lot of sunshine and cooling breezes.
"It was a really good show and a really good turnout," said organizer Melinda Clutter, of York Township.
About 200 people came out to watch the day-long show, including 27 residents of the home.
The show, which kicks off the season for many of the county's horse exhibitors, is in its 12th year.
The show raised about $3,000 to benefit the home's residents, Clutter said.
"A lot of people donated that weren't even showing horses," she said.
About 130 people showed horses in various age categories, Clutter said.
Profits from the show help the home, which provides 60 beds for low-income people who need assistance in caring for themselves.
Medina Kids Care, the group that puts on the show, also organizes parties and events throughout the year for the home's residents.
The organization hosts a Super Bowl and holiday parties, and gives residents gift baskets and smaller items to cheer them up and personal items to make their lives a little easier.

So 2012 was the 1st year the Chief Seattle Council "maxed" our benefit which is a good thing! The bad news is that several units will not receive the Scout Bucks incentive for these gifts that were filed in late December 2012.
So, Here is the tip of the day: As soon as you have volunteered 25 hours for the Boy Scouts apply for a volunteer time match gift. Don't wait till then end of the year to file 200 hours!
Then apply for each subsequent 25 hours as soon as possible. The minimum block of time to apply for a Boeing Volunteer Time Match gift is 25 hours. This will be a "race" to the organizational limit of $150,000 which we estimate we will hit in November of 2013. This will maximize the amount of Scout Bucks your unit receives.
Also, be sure to apply in increments of 25 hours. For example, if you apply for a 33 hour volunteer time match gift. The Boy Scouts will receive a $250 gift and 8 of your hours will go to "waste". To maximize your benefit, apply those 8 hours to your next submission and do it in an increment of 25 hours.
Please take a look now and see if you are eligible to file for a gift. I'll also send a reminder at the end of the summer to file a volunteer time match gift since a lot of you will be spending a lot of time with Scouts at summer camp, Jamboree, and High Adventure trips.
Thanks for all you do to make Scouting so successful.

Miranda Barbour, the 19-year-old woman who claims to have killed somewhere between 23 and 100 people in a six-year satanic killing spree, has begun supplying authorities with location names where she says the alleged murders took place. The Daily Mail reported Feb. 18 that the FBI was on standby, awaiting word from authorities in several states where Barbour's confessions point to murders she may have committed.
Barbour, who has been sensationalized in the media as a "Craigslist killer" (because she and her husband, Elytte Barbour, have confessed to luring a victim to his death in Pennsylvania, where they currently await trial for said act), made international headlines when she made her horrific claims in an interview with a small local outlet, the Daily Item. She said that as part of a satanic cult, which she claims to have joined at the age of 13, she killed dozens of people in Alaska, California, North Carolina, and Texas.
"Barbour has told police of multiple locations which are being vetted," an FBI source told the Daily Mail. "Search teams have been put on standby but have not begun any digs yet. We cannot confirm how many sites have been identified by Barbour."
North Pole senior police officer Chad Rathbun has been investigating Barbour's claims in Alaska. He has found she left North Pole at the age of five and spent several years in Wasilla, the city made famous by being the home of the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
"We do not have any open missing person cases or open homicide cases that we would be at all interested in, in regards to her," Rathbun told the Mail Online.
"The only reason I don't discount her claims is because we have people who come to Alaska all the time who want to disappear. Some are running from things and it is an easy state to do that in."
In an interview with Inside Edition, a friend to Miranda Barbour says she couldn't have done the murders. She knew her in North Carolina prior to the killing in Pennsylvania and the teen seemed to be just a regular teenage mother. She says she believes Barbour is "romanticizing" the idea of being a serial killer.
The confessed murderess, who is the mother of a one-year-old child, married Elytte Barbour in North Carolina in October 2013. After moving to Pennsylvania, she met Troy LaFerrara through a Craigslist ad for "companionship." After negotiating a price of $100 to meet for sex, Miranda Barbour and her husband of some three weeks lured the 42-year-old man to a mall, then they drove to Sunbury, Pa., where she reportedly stabbed LaFerrara 20 times while her husband held him down and strangled him with rope.
They told authorities that they wanted to kill somebody together.

The new season of Travel Channel's hit paranormal investigative series, "Ghost Adventures" kicks off on a brand new night when it premieres on Saturday, February 15, 2014 at 9:00 P.M. ET/PT.
This winter viewers can "lock down" with the "Ghost Adventures" trio – Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin – as they investigate intriguing new haunted locations. The show is moving to a brand-new night of the week when season 9 premieres on Saturday February 15, 2014 and will feature thirteen new hour-long episodes. The new episodes will continue on Saturday nights. In each episode, the "Ghost Adventures" team will travel to a different haunted destination where they meet with locals, eyewitnesses and experts in an attempt to piece together the haunted history of each site. They are known for their dusk-to-dawn "lock down" investigations, using the latest scientific gadgets and technology in an effort to obtain physical evidence of the paranormal and uncover the truth behind each haunted mystery.
"Each season we push the barriers on paranormal investigating – physically, personally, emotionally, scientifically," said Zak Bagans, lead investigator. "Our experiences affect us well beyond what viewers see in each episode – it doesn't just end when we turn the equipment off. But each investigation puts Nick, Aaron and I one step closer to understanding the afterlife and the haunted mysteries of the locations we visit. It's exciting and terrifying all at once."
The season 9 premiere debuts with Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin exploring the Oman House, a Los Angeles home ridden with paranormal activity believed to be directly related to the infamous Sharon Tate murder by Charles Manson's cult of followers in 1969, which took place just 200 feet from the property. The team also discovers the home also sits atop a Native American burial ground and on a geomagnetic anomaly. There have been several reports such as "objects moving on their own; sightings of a pregnant, bleeding female apparition walking around outside the home thought to be Sharon Tate herself; and those who enter the house have feelings of overwhelming physical pain and illness. Shortly after the lockdown begins, a powerful, negative energy shrouds the space – along with disembodied voices and objects falling over on their own. When Nick Groff experiences burning sensations and severe stomach pains, he's forced to leave the home." What the team documents on this case leaves more questions than answers.
Other season 9 episodes include " a special investigation of Bannack, MT – a lawless, Old West mining-turned-ghost-town with a gruesome, violent past; New York City's Morris-Jumel Mansion, a historic haunt rich with American history and soap opera drama; Katie's Bar in Long Island, NY– a local pub with paranormal activity that is frightening employees; the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, LA – a 215 year-old property that is one of America's most famous haunted locations; a former cement factory with a dark past in Salt Lake City, UT, which now houses a Halloween fun house with real-life frights; and more."

My neighbor invited me to a trunk show at her home for a jewelry company called Stella & Dot. I like my neighbor and I like jewelry so I accepted the invitation.
Then, I began my research. Stella & Dot is, in the grand tradition of Amway, Avon, Mary Kay and many more companies, an MLM or Multi-Level Marketing company.
With Multi-Level Marketing, you get recruited to work for a company. You buy the "starter" sales kit. You convince your friend to host a party at her house. Her friends buy from you and you receive a percentage of the sales. In order to build your sales, you recruit more friends so that you get a percentage of their sales. Then, your recruits convince their friends to host parties and recruit more friends and on and on.
These companies also generally wrap themselves in patriotism and freedom (Amway) or in the case of Stella & Dot there is a huge dose of female empowerment. The words are pretty and the concept of working from home and setting your own hours is so seductive.
That said, the only people who make money in MLM's are the people at the top of the organization. Yes, I know there are tons of pages in google search that say that is not true. However, the fact that I have a basic understanding of both business and arithmetic allows me deduce that only the people at the top can make real money. When you recruit your friends, you are cannibalizing your own business. The business model does not work.
I went to the "trunk show" which is technically not really a trunk show. I could have described the "stylist" before I met her. Middle to late 20's. Married with children. Adorable. I loved her. I loved the jewelry. I loved the women there. I learned all about a trend called an "Arm Party". An arm party is when you fill up your wrists with watches, bangles and chains.
It is hard to be cruel, but I have to. This is a business model that does not work. Only the people at the top make money. Don't watch the empowering videos or the "but this is different" speeches. Do the math!
The jewelry is great, expensive, but great!
Please spread the word about the Knoxville Small Business Examiner. I would love to tell your story!

Feb. 8, 2009
The top-ranked UCLA women's golf team will participate in the annual Northrup Grumman Regional Challenge, Feb. 9-11 at the Palos Verdes Golf Course.
The Bruins, ranked No.1 in the GolfStat and Coaches polls, will attempt to settle the rankings debate in Palos Verdes. The field features GolfWeek's top three teams: No.1 Arizona State, No.2 UCLA and third ranked USC.
"Obviously, we had a great fall (season), and we come into the (Regional Challenge) as one of the favored teams," said Head Coach Carrie Forsyth. "But we have a clear understanding that the rankings really don't mean anything, because this is a new year and we have a lot in front of us to accomplish."
In the fall, the Bruins won five stroke play events and produced three individual champions. Their team stroke average of 284.1 is on pace to break the school record by more than seven strokes. Five of the top eight players on the team are averaging 72.0 or better and six are averaging better than 73.0 strokes per round.
Freshman Stephanie Kono, who leads the team with a stroke average of 70.6 has played 11 rounds this season in 12-under par. She is ranked ninth nationally and boasts a victory in the stroke play portion of the Collegiate Match Play Championship.
Senior Tiffany Joh, a three-time All-American, ranks 16th with a stroke average of 71.5 and three Top 20 results.
Junior Sydnee Michaels, a 2008 All-American, recorded her second collegiate victory in winning the Mason Rudolph Championship with an 11-under par score of 205. Ranked 20th nationally, she is averaging 71.2 strokes per round and is six-under par through 11 rounds.
Sophomores Glory Yang and Maria Jose Uribe were ranked 32nd and 56th in the nation, respectively. Yang won the Top Cup in September with a four-under par score of 212 and boasts a 71.6 scoring average. Uribe, a consensus 1st Team All-American last year, has recorded three Top 20 results in four starts with a 72.6 scoring average.

In 1952 France's CASDN (Comité d'Action Scientifique de Défense Nationale) ordered 15 Veronique sounding rockets through DEFA (Direction des Etudes et Fabrications d'Armement) for use during the International Geophysical Year. Budget cutbacks led to delays in the Veronique program, and in 1954 CASDN turned to ATEF company (Association Technique pour l'Etude des Fusees) to develop a low-cost, three-stage, solid-propellant alternative using the existing SEPR-35 sounding rocket design as a starting point. The SEPR-35's stage and stabilizing fin scheme was used as the starting point, but three solid rocket motors using newer-technology propellants were developed: the Melanie, using Plastolite for the booster; and Theodore and Oreste, using Epictete propellant for upper stages. The names of the stages formed into the acronym Meteo, by which the rocket was known at the time the first order for 50 ATEF-14 rockets was issued.. During the third launch campaign in June 1955, the rocket was renamed Monica.
A follow-on order for 15 rockets in 1956 was for new versions with larger upper stages, dubbed the Monica IV and V.

Scott Porter: What do you feel are your biggest strengths?
Derrick Locke: I would say my biggest strengths are of course my speed, but also my vision, my hands. I feel I am a great receiver out of the backfield.
Scott Porter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Derrick Locke: Right now I am training and just trying to be fortunate enough to get a chance. I don't want to just make a team, it's not just about making a team to me, I want to be a major factor and produce for my team.
Scott Porter: What NFL player reminds you of yourself?
Derrick Locke: Chris Johnson of the Titans because of his speed, and we have similar size. We're not real big but very quick and fast with big time break away speed.
Scott Porter: What type of person is an NFL team getting in Derrick Locke?
Derrick Locke: They are getting a very good dude. I work hard, and stay out of trouble. I have a four year old son and another one on the way. I do the right things. Every decision I make I think about my son and put him in the best situation with my future.
Scott Porter: What do you feel is the toughest part about playing RB?
Derrick Locke: I would say the fact that running backs do a lot more then just run the ball. We have to be expected to catch out of the backfield, it's so much more then just getting a hand off and running. You have to run route, picked up blitzing LB's in pass protection, take a lot of pounding with the position. I love the challenge and nobody takes as many hits as a running back does.
Scott Porter: What do you feel are your biggest accomplishments?
Derrick Locke: I don't like to mention individual accomplishments. I think coming to Kentucky on a track scholarship and then to leave a top player is an accomplishment. It just shows how hard I work for what I want to reach. I bounced back from an injury. People told me I couldn't play the game after all of this, I have learned that even if football isn't my calling then through all of this I can do anything I want to do with hard work.
Scott Porter: Who is the toughest player you have ever faced?
Derrick Locke: Man, playing in the SEC there are so many great players. Just to name a few, Javier Arenas of Alabama and Eric Berry of Tennessee.
Scott Porter: What do you feel will be the toughest transition from the college level to the NFL?
Derrick Locke: Of course the NFL is going to be faster, but you also have to be smarter. Picking up new terminology will surely be something that will be needed to be successful at the next level. I feel once I get that down I will be good. The ball comes out much quicker in the NFL. I will find out more as I get there. There will be a lot of change and new stuff thrown at me.
Scott Porter: What are your hobbies off the field?
Derrick Locke: I don't do much away from football. I like to spend as much time with my family as possible. I like to hang out with my friends, spend time with my song. I also like to sing. I sing by myself a lot. I like to fish, play putt putt and I like to bowl.
Scott Porter: What will you be doing from now until draft time to prepare for the NFL?
Derrick Locke: I am working out with IMG in Bradenton, Florida. I am training up for the combine. Trying to get my weight back up and polish up my speed. I am just focusing on preparing for the NFL both physically and mentally.

Wednesday, March 19, 2014 will go down in history as the day the CW aired the first episode of "The 100" an new science fiction dystopian drama that is sure to please fans of both genres. The pilot began with the secret exile of 100 young prisoners from the ARK (the space station that is over taxed with the population surge from 400 remaining humans 97 years ago to 4,000 now). These young humans are the remaining ARK residents only hope as the ARK only has a few months of survival left.
If the adults on the ARK had successfully communicated their plans to the juvenile humans things might have gone differently but putting all their hopes of surviving on young criminals may not have been the best decision for the government to make.
The juveniles on the planet fast separate into two groups, one that wants to help the remaining humans on the ARK and the other that could care less if the humans know that they survived the landing and the radiation on the earth. Unfortunately, the latter makes up the larger part of the group.
Communication is cut off after the shuttle crash lands and the humans left on the ARK have no way to tell if the kids are surviving or not accept their life support bracelets which most of them decide to remove. Five of the teens decide to go off in search of food while the others riot and cause trouble.
The search party manages to get to the correct mountain that holds their food supply only one problem, they encounter others who are on the planet as well and one of the search party members, Jasper is impaled by a spear... talk about cliffhangers. That is where the pilot ends...
It was overall an interesting show with great potential but there were a few questions fans probably had as they tried to digest the new series. Hopefully those will be addressed as the series continues. It has potential, what do you think of the new series?
Check out more details on The 100 here at the CW show page. If you missed the episode you will be able to stream it live tomorrow.
If you enjoy a little science fiction mixed with urban fantasy and paranormal check out Lone Wolf Rising on Amazon. It's a book supernatural fans can really sink their teeth into.

AT&T announces BlackBerry Bold 9900, Torch 9860 and Curve 9360 pricing, availability
AT&T has officially announced that it would launch three new BlackBerry smartphones this month (all of which were expected to hit the carrier's shelves anyway): the BlackBerry Bold 9900, BlackBerry Torch 9860, and BlackBerry Curve 9360.
Both the Bold 9900 (pictured below) and Torch 9860 will be released by AT&T on November 6, coming with 4G (HSPA+) support, and running the latest BlackBerry 7 OS. The 9900 will cost $199.99 on contract, while the 9860 – AT&T's first full-touch BlackBerry – is going to be available for $99.99 (also on contract).
As for the Curve 9360, this won't support AT&T's HSPA+ network. It's going to cost only $29.99 on contract starting November 20.
All in all, November 6 is going to be a big day for AT&T, as it will launch the two BlackBerries mentioned above, two new Windows Phone Mango handsets (Samsung Focus S and Samsung Focus Flash), and its first two LTE smartphones: the Android-based Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and the HTC Vivid.
Given not only the popularity of Android, but also the promise of faster data speeds (LTE is true 4G compared to HSPA+), I'm pretty sure the Galaxy S II Skyrocket and the HTC Vivid will steal the show that day.
