College Hockey:Miami Crushes Bowling Green
Blasi ejected in second period after on-ice brawl
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — One night after clinching the CCHA regular season title, Miami sent a message, dominating last place Bowling Green in a 10-2 victory.
While the scoreboard was clearly in favor of Miami all night, the physical play on the ice took precedence, as 186 penalty minutes were handed out by the officials.
With just 37 seconds left in the second period, Bowling Green's Max Grover plowed through Miami goalie Connor Knapp, inciting a minor brawl behind the RedHawks' net.
"We're going to take care of our goalie; we weren't trying to be cheap, but if they're going to take a shot at our goalie, we're going to send a message," Miami's Brandon Smith said.
While Smith felt his teammates were just defending Knapp, Bowling Green captain Kyle Page felt the fisticuffs could have been avoided.
"I think he [Grover] was just finishing the play; he dumped it in on the goalie and it looked loose," Page said. "In my opinion, he was just completing the play."
Eight players received penalties for the incident, leading to a third period that saw Bowling Green insert third string goalie Phil Greer and Miami coach Enrico Blasi ejected.
On his way to the locker room, Blasi took his time to wave to the crowd and then took a bow in the direction of referee Kevin Hall before finally stepping off of the ice.
"Apparently, he didn't like what I had to say," Blasi said of the ejection.
Prior to Blasi's ejection, he and Bowling Green coach Dennis Williams were seen exchanging words between the benches.
"It was just the heat of the battle," Williams said.
While Williams and Blasi verbally assaulted each other, the game was already a forgone conclusion after Miami put together four second period goals on a night when nine different RedHawks had at least two points.
It was a far cry from Friday's night contest when the teams played a close back-and-forth game ending in a 3-2 victory for the RedHawks.
"They definitely brought it up a gear; 10 goals on 32 shots is a pretty good shooting percentage," Williams said.
For the second straight night, Miami jumped out to an early lead, as Pat Canone was able to poke a loose puck between Bowling Green goalie Andrew Hammond's pad and the right post just 2:54 into the game.
Miami struck again just 3:42 later when Reilly Smith came out of the penalty box and was sprung for a breakaway by a pass from Andy Miele. After receiving the pass, Smith deked twice before sliding the puck under Hammond's right pad.
Bowling Green almost cut Miami's lead in half twice. First, Kai Kantola fired a shot over the glove of Knapp, but it came after a whistle was blown for offsides.
With 2:03 remaining, the Falcons had a flurry of chances at the goal mouth while on a power play, but Knapp was able turn away three shots in succession.
Miami doubled their lead in a span of 46 seconds in the second period when Curtis McKenzie scored on a deflection in front and Jarod Palmer banked one off Hammond's pad and in.
The quick strike prompted Bowling Green to change goaltenders, bringing in junior Nick Eno. Hammond had stopped nine-of-13 shots before getting pulled.
The change seemed to give Bowling Green some life, as they finally broke through with 8:25 remaining in the second period. Jordan Sameuls-Thomas was able to jam home a rebound after the initial shot by James Perkin during a five-on-three advantage.
Despite the Falcons' power-play goal, Miami didn't let up, as they regained their four-goal lead on a wrist shot by Brandon Smith after a turnover in the Bowling Green zone.
Miami's lead increased to 6-1 by the end of the second period, as Chris Wideman beat Eno with a wrist shot after Palmer made a nice spin move to keep the puck away from the BG defense.
"We kept our composure in the second period and they didn't," Reilly Smith said.
Miami scored four more goals in the third period, while Ian Ruehl added Bowling Green's second goal of the game with 2:12 remaining to make the final score 10-2.
The RedHawks scored 10 goals on 32 shots against three different Falcon goalies, while Knapp stopped 19 of the 21 shots he faced to get the win.
Miami will celebrate its regular season CCHA title after next Saturday's game with Nebraksa-Omaha, while Bowling Green will host Notre Dame.

It was all in the details this week. Embroidery and various appliques were everywhere on the red carpet at a variety of events. There also was a nice mix of colors, textures and patterns. Pieces from Spring 2012 were popular, but a couple celebs went the nostalgic route by revisiting Chanel's 2009 seasonal offerings.
Kristen Stewart at the Los Angeles Premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 1
Kristen really was the standout on the Twilight red carpet in Los Angeles. Her J. Mendel Spring 2012 black and iris sequin brushstroke print sleeveless belted column gown also included a thigh-high slit. Black Jimmy Choo open-toe platforms, Neil Lane jewels and a surprisingly chic updo completed her on-point premiere look.

Kristen Stewart at the London Premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 1
This embellished black Roberto Cavalli Spring 2012 lace gown was lined instead of sheer like on the runway and Kirsten also opted for a more structured Alexander McQueen black belt. She accessorized with the same Jimmy Choos she wore to the Los Angeles unveiling.

Emma Stone at the Museum Of Modern Art's 4th Annual Film Benefit
Emma decided to go with a stunning selection from the Chanel Spring 2009 Couture collection. Her black and white dress had floral appliques as well as a center split and was partnered with a classic quilted Chanel bag along with black pumps.

Elizabeth Olsen at the Museum Of Modern Art'ss 4th Annual Film Benefit
It was Chanel's Fall 2009 Couture offering for Elizabeth. That red satin lining on the inside of the asymmetrical hem really popped as did her waist ribbon accent, while Chanel Fine Jewelry and a pair of the brand's pumps along with a satin clutch finished off the look.

Nicole Richie at the 2011 MOCA Gala
Nicole's sleeveless light purple Julien Macdonald Fall 2011 semi-sheer gown featured striking leaf embroidery. Not surprisingly, the designer opted for this python Olivia clutch from her own House of Harlow 1960 line as well as silver Chopard jewelry and Jimmy Choo heels to round out the look.

Jaime King at the 2011 MOCA Gala
This Oscar de la Renta Fall 2011 number may have been missing the front bow detail from the runway, but Jaime still managed to work the black velvet gown at the event. A pair of Christian Louboutin pumps, a Roger Vivier embellished clutch and vintage gems by Neil Lane completed the modified look.

Kirsten Dunst at the 2011 MOCA Gala
Kirsten went with Rodarte for the gallery gala. Her tiered empire gown with metallic navy swirl embroidery is from the Spring 2012 collection. Accessories included a black bow Chanel clutch, a pair of diamond flower stud earrings and a diamond bracelet.

Rose McGowan at the 2011 MOCA Gala
Rose brought a bright burst of color to the red carpet in this turquoise Hervé L. Leroux sleeveless gown, including a sash waist tie and plunging V-neck. She styled the look with an array of Vhernier jewels as well as black and gold Gucci Leight T-strap platform sandals.

UCLA Head Coach Adam Krikorian
"It is one of the best feelings in the world (to win an NCAA title). I'm so happy for these seniors. They are an unbelievable group of young men. They work so hard and it is about them. I wanted to win for them. That was one of the most courageous efforts I have ever coached, and maybe even seen as a sports fan. Our guys are in incredible physical condition. I worked them extremely hard for two years. It is a testament to their courage today. Joe (Axelrad) is one of the best guys I have ever known. It couldn't have happened to a better guy. He loves that challenge."
UCLA sophomore Logan Powell on his game winning goal
"It was a rebound off Josh Hewko's shot, and it landed in my hand and I knew I could put it away. We had three players ejected and I was the next guy in line to play. I was in the right place at the right time."
UCLA senior goalkeeper Joseph Axelrad
"Part of UCLA water polo is placing a huge premium on defense. Stanford played fantastic offense, but our defense was up to the challenge. I can't give enough credit to our guys. We played great defense. Tony (Azevedo) is easily the best player I have had the privilege to play against. The overtime rattled our nerves, but we were able to calm down. We knew that in overtime we were in better shape than our opponent. We couldn't be happier on the way we won. Anytime you beat Stanford you have to be happy. When we lost last weekend to Stanford (MPSF Tournament), it left an incredibly bitter taste in our mouths."
Stanford Head Coach John Vargas
"Congratulations to UCLA. UCLA did a very nice job. Clearly UCLA's focus was to stop Tony. Where we tried to post up, there were two or three players on him. UCLA is talented. They threw a lot of guys at us. We tried to control the tempo of the game, and take away their counterattack.
Stanford senior Tony Azevedo
"UCLA is a tough team and they played with a lot of heart. And so did we, and that is why it came down to overtime. Joe Axelrad (UCLA goalkeeper) is a good goalie, and he had a great game. A lot of my shots were not going where I wanted them to go."

Do Atheists Have A Symbol?

Subject: Do we have a symbol?
Hi my name's Joe. I've been an atheist for about a year and a half now and I was wondering whether or not we Atheists have a symbol. Christians have a cross, Muslims a Crescent Moon, even agnostics have a weird Cross and question mark symbol. What do we have?
Joe Thornhill
From: "Positive Atheism" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
To: "Joseph Thornhill"
Subject: Re: Do we have a symbol?
Date: September 26, 2001 11:32 PM
I recently wrote an editorial column responding to this very question, called, "To Symbolize That Which Is Not?" (August, 2001). This column was based upon my response to a letter we received from Chris in July, "A Symbol To Make My Own Voice Heard?" I formulated my current position regarding atheistic symbols while responding to this letter. When I use a Letters exchange to build a column, I will usually wait a few months before I post the letter itself, but I went ahead and posted it today so you could see it.
We've also had a Forum question from David and Will, "Symbols, Acronyms, And Slogans," which solicits suggestions for proposed symbols. This page shows several symbols that have been used and explains why I think each one either won't fly or is inappropriate. I will admit that I was, at that time, more hopeful that we could find a symbol (and oblivious to my current stand that the whole idea is inappropriate). I must add, though, that I was not much more hopeful about the idea then than I am today.
The closest have come to agreeing with anything is the pansy, which Annie Laurie Gaylor says symbolizes Freethought.
My current position is this: atheism is not a positive belief in an object (such as God or Christ) but is what philosophers call a negative belief: we don't believe in a specific object (gods). The word atheist is a word we use to distinguish ourselves from people who do believe in gods.
So, my atheism is not an added attraction in my life. Some might say, Well, I've been a theist all my life and this is certainly something new for me. Granted, but what happened is that you removed an added attraction that you once had: atheism, as religious beliefs go, is the default human condition.
In fact, atheism is the default human condition two different ways. First, we are all born atheists in that we are born without a god belief. Theism must be learned, and anybody's theism is an added attraction. Secondly, in any discussion where one party is claiming the existence of something, the burden of proof falls upon the person making the claim (in this case, the theist); the person listening to the claim (the atheist) does not have to prove anything. In fact, the atheist cannot empirically prove the nonexistence of God (although we can use certain logical arguments which make "No gods exist" a reasonable position). So in this sense, just as an accused criminal (in most countries) is presumed innocent and must be proved guilty, the nonexistence of gods is presumed in any (fair) discussion and the theist must prove God's existence.
So, the question I have is why would we want to symbolize an absence? In other words, what is there, even, to symbolize? Here we are living our lives, and along comes a preacher who knocks on our door and tells us that this giant, Sta-Puft Marshmallow guy is wandering around the streets of New York City (which is what most god-claims sound like to me).
My response is, "Yeah, right, buddy! Didn't you read the sign?"
He interrupts, "Well, I'm not a solicitor! I'm a -- "
I stand right up to him and point to the sign, "It says, 'Absolutely No Door-To-Door Anything!' I think that includes you!"
The door-to-door missionary gurgles and sputters, slumps his shoulders in defeat, and begins to walk slowly away, having added nothing to my being.
My point is this: The fact that my atheism is an absence is not simply academic, atheism is not just a philosophical negative. My atheism really is not a big deal for me. My atheism is not, to me, what almost any Christian's faith is to her. I never thought about my atheism more than three or four times in my life until recently, that is, about twelve years ago or so. Until then, I never once even called myself an atheist.
Twelve years ago being an atheist started to cause great hardship for me; I began to endure vicious antiatheist bigotry as a result of having been conscripted into the Twelve Step program. So, having been a social activist off and on for most of my life, I decided to make atheism the object of my activism. I now advocate against the stigma and bigotry we atheists endure and help people adjust to a new-found outlook based in human reason. But my atheism means nothing to me beyond simple appreciation of the fact that I don't have to endure the hardships that come with being a theist.
Once I shut down this computer for the day, I don't even think about it. Even while I'm here, most of what I do is HTML coding, English syntax, simple logic, history, philosophy, ethics, sociology, and politics. The only time I'm an atheist, really, is when I need to distinguish myself from theists.

Felix Nicolas, 39, was convicted of trying to hire a fellow inmate to kill his young accusers after they came to police. Santa Barbara County Senior Deputy District Attorney Kevin Duffy, who prosecuted the case, says the jury trial conviction and sentencing of Felix Nicolas could not have happened without the testimony from the two young childen.
The two victims that came forward are having their identities protected. They are both in their 20's now, but say the incidents happened when they lived with Nicolas in low-rent motels in Santa Maria.
The defense attorney for Felix Nicolas plans to appeal his verdict and 206 year prison sentence.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 34 Summary
READ THE BOOK: Chapter 34
- Tom and Huck figure out that Jim is being held in a hut near to the farmhouse. They debate over which plan would be best to steal him and escape.
- Huck's idea is fairly basic: steal Jim, leave on the raft.
- But Tom and his overdeveloped sense of adventure aren't satisfied. He wants to dig Jim out of the hut.
- So they head to the hut and meet Nat, one of the Phelps' slaves, who is incredibly superstitious (he's afraid of witches).
- The boys tell Jim to stay hopeful. Since doors are for suckers, they're going to dig him out.

The first stage coupled the unique Atlas balloon tanks and high performance Glushko engines. In a typical Atlas IIIA launch, the vehicle's two RD-180 thrust chambers were ignited shortly before liftoff. Pre-programmed engine thrust settings were used during booster ascent to minimize vehicle loads by throttling back during peak transonic loads in the high dynamic pressure region while otherwise maximizing vehicle performance. Just over two minutes into flight, as the vehicle reached an axial acceleration of 4 g's, the engines began to throttle back, eventually initiating a constant throttle rate to sustain acceleration at 5.5 g's. Booster engine cutoff occurred approximately three minutes into flight and was followed by separation of Centaur from Atlas.
The first Centaur burn lasted about nine minutes after which the Centaur and its payload coasted in a parking orbit. During the first burn, approximately ten seconds after ignition, the payload fairing was jettisoned. The second Centaur ignition occurred about 23 minutes into the flight, continued for about three minutes, and was followed several minutes later by the separation of the spacecraft from Centaur. Major suppliers included: NPO Energomash / Pratt & Whitney - Atlas RD-180 engines; Pratt & Whitney - Centaur engines; Honeywell - Inertial Navigation Unit; BF Goodrich - Digital acquisition system; SAAB - Payload Separation Systems.

Earlier this past week, when users typed "Sell" into the search bar on Google Finance, they were directed to the page for Apple's stock. Claiming the result on its algorithm, Google said that there was no secret plot to overthrow Apple.
"This isn't deliberate," the company said in a statement. "Our algorithms seem to be keying off of the words 'sell' and "sells" in the description of this very popular stock symbol. We're working on how to adjust things so it doesn't happen anymore."
Google has since tweaked the algorithm so that typing "Sell" into the search bar on Google Fininance brings up a list of stocks including Selestra, who's Ticker name is SELL.

Project: Ethnicity and Access
Family Risk, Common Cancers and People from Minority Ethnic Groups
If you would like to see more projects like this please donate using the button above
Genetic Alliance UK has produced groundbreaking reports previously around access to genetics services for minority ethnic communities (Darr, 1999) and ethnic monitoring (Mehta, 2003) and now in partnership with the Division of Primary Care at The University of Nottingham this project identifies:
- Why there is a significant under-representation of cancer referrals to clinical genetics services amongst people from minority ethnic groups; and
- What strategies and approaches might address this inequity.
The final project report, which outlines our recommendations, is available below.
Funded by a grant until end of August 2012 from the Big Lottery Fund Research Programme, the project aimed to: (i) identify why people from minority ethnic groups with a significant family history of cancer are less likely to access clinical genetics services than the mainstream UK population; and (ii) inform the development of recommendations to improve access to genetics services for people from minority ethnic groups. The research has also involved a review of current evidence.
The project has focused on breast and ovarian, bowel, and prostate cancer. These are recognised as the commonest cancers where preventive measures exist if familial risk is identified. We used the experiences of three established minority ethnic communities in England (South Asian, Black Caribbean and White Irish) as exemplars to improve understanding of;
- Patient-related contexts and perceptions, and
- Service-related factors that facilitate or hinder access to genetic services.
Two NHS regional clinical genetics services helped with the research. This qualitative study has explored the views of health care professionals in addition to patients and their families who have accessed cancer genetics services. Crucially, we also invited people from the community who have a history of one of these cancers in their family but have not been seen by genetic related healthcare professionals, to take part in the study.
As part of analysing what people had to say, we shared this information with people who had been interviewed and in a workshop with 41 stakeholders (including genetics and other clinical providers, service users, third sector, academics) to discuss, and help develop findings and recommendations.
This research received full ethics approval in April 2010 followed by Research and Development Committee (R & D) approval at both NHS sites.
The Final Report - 'Identifying family risk of cancer: Why is this more difficult for ethnic minority communities and what would help?'
You can view or download below the Final Report which also contains a Lay Summary written in plain English:

In a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Virginia and published in Environmental Science & Technology, the authors claim that algae causes more harm to the environment than traditional biofuel crops like corn.
However, in this study, the researches used algae production data from at least a decade ago.
In response, Andres Clarens the lead author of the study said he used the most recent data that he could, which was about 10 years old. Algae biofuel companies keep their research a closely guarded secret, he said.
The absence of up to date data is comparable to trying to conduct a study on modern internet usage by using information from the mid 1990s. This research method would obviously be faulty considering that internet usage of the 1990s barely resembles the way the internet is used today.
Similarly, the field of algae research has experienced many breakthroughs and advances in the past decade just as the internet has seen a drastic evolution in its use.
In a recent press release, the Algal Biomass Organization pointed this fact out this, as well as several other assumptions and flaws within the UVA study itself. Some of the flaws include:
- Assumptions about algae growth systems. The report uses a first generation, raceway-style pond system as its benchmark. Many leading algae companies abandoned that approach years ago and have a variety of more advanced cultivation systems, some of which are unrelated to the methods the authors sought to assess.
- Assumptions about co-location. By assuming the production facility is not co-located with a large CO2 emitter, calculations for sourcing CO2 are flawed, resulting in a higher attribution of CO2 for algae plants. Most commercial-scale algae projects are being developed alongside major emitters in order to beneficially reuse CO2 that will take the place of equivalent carbon emissions from petroleum fuels.
- Assumptions about water use. The study assumes fresh water and non-potable salt water are equal. A sustainable industrial algae production model uses non-potable, non-agricultural water in the process of making liquid fuels.
- Assumptions about nutrient use. Because the report does not look at the full algae fuel cycle, ignored is the opportunity to consider the ability of algae producers to recycle nutrients and avoid such a substantial burden.
- Assumptions about energy use. Because the authors admittedly did not consider the full algae fuel cycle, which allows energy reuse through biodigester biogas combustion coupled with the carbon recycling from all of the aspects of biodigestion, the report errantly gives a higher emissions burden.
One example that highlights the problems with the first assumption is algae fermentation systems like those developed by Solazyme. According to a study published in March 2009, fermentation technology seems to be the most likely growth technology to become commercially viable in the short-term. However, the fermentation method and the one studied by UVA researchers are so drastically different that the study's conclusions cannot be applied to the other.
Additionally, the study does not consider companies like Seambiotic, an Israel-based company that has been successfully operating a pilot algae growth program that harnesses CO2 emissions from a co-located coal power plant. By teaming up with CO2 emitters, algae companies can cut down on the costs associated with obtaining necessary carbon for algae growth.
Also, while the study does reference wastewater as a potential source of water, it doesn't mention that there are entities like Algae Wheel and NASA currently looking into, and even using this method.
Overall, it is surprising that the study would ignore all these facts, among many others, when they went about conducting their study.
By using outdated data, the study cannot be considered an accurate snapshot of the algae biofuel field. It is better to look at it as showing where the field once was and remember that things have only advanced from that point.

I'm writing this note on Friday evening in Rhodes. All of the athletes needed to arrive by today, specifically 5:00 pm, in order to get their preferred start location on the start line.
On race day, athletes are introduced in the order of their world ranking. After being introduced, each athlete immediately walks to the starting box of their preference. For this race, starting boxes are marked on the carpeting that overlays a wooden platform. The wooden platform sits directly on the beach and it will be a run, then dive start.
Sometimes, the start lines are on top of pontoons located in the water. A pontoon start is a diving start.
This morning, some of the Team BG athletes swam in the pool that sits in a beautiful location overlooking the ocean. Other athletes wanted to swim in the ocean to test the current and water temperature. This will be a non-wetsuit swim due to the 26-degree Celsius (78.8 degrees Fahrenheit) water temperature.
It is fun to hear athletes from different countries speaking their native languages. While I know the world is a big place, traveling to international races is always a great reminder for me that I live in a very small corner of earth.
Five of the nine athletes racing for Team BG at this race were at the Vancouver race I supported in early June. That particular race was cold and rainy. It was a wetsuit swim due to the chilly water temperature.
Somehow, one of the athletes got the wise idea that if any of them placed in the top ten, the support staff should take a dip in the cold, cold, cold water. I did take my suit and towel with me on race day, expecting I would take a blue-lip dip. The highest placing Team BG athlete was 11th.
That athlete, Lisa Norden, wanted a proposition for this race.
Gale says to herself, "Sweet! The water is wonderful here, I'd be more than happy to go in and pay on that bet."
Before knowing the proposition, and based on my assumption, I say "Sure, a race bet is in order!"
Ah...not so fast...Lisa's proposition for this race was that if any of the athletes on Team BG place in the top 10, support staff will take a plunge off of the 5-meter platform that sits in the ocean within the circumference of the course.
To be continued...
I am now in the beautiful city of Rhodes on the island of Rhodes, Greece. I arrived to my hotel yesterday, Tuesday, at 2:30 pm local time (5:00 am Mountain Standard Time). It felt pretty good considering I left my home in Colorado on Monday morning at 8:00 am.
I flew from Denver, Colorado to Montreal Canada. That flight was about 3:30 long. I had to go through customs in Montreal, pick up my baggage and go through the flight check-in process for a second time. With nearly zero layover time, I jumped on a plane to Athens, Greece. The Montreal to Athens flight was 9:00.
My luggage was checked from Athens to Rhodes, so I only needed to go through immigration. The flight from Athens to Rhodes was easy, only about an hour. My total "up" time, from real bed to real bed was 30 hours.
As I was going through the travel process, I couldn't help but think of the athletes that were traveling from all parts of the world to race in Rhodes. Most of them have learned to travel well. This means learning to sleep and eat while traveling across multiple time zones. Then, they must deliver a top-shelf race performance.
In my last blog, I mentioned my travel was to support the ITU BG Sport Development Team. One of the athletes, Lisa Norden was here when I arrived and the remaining athletes are arriving today, tomorrow and one on Friday.
Here are the athletes racing on Team BG:
Lisa Norden (Sweden)
Flora Duffy (Bermuda)
Fabiola Corona (Mexico)
Yuliya Yelistratova (Ukraine)
Mari Rabie (South Africa)
Dan Alterman (Israel)
Zvonko Cubric (Croatia)
Leonardo Chacon (Costa Rica)
Javier Cuevas (Dominican Republic)
As the team continues to arrive, I will post photos of the athletes.
In the mean time, the photo at the beginning of the blog shows one of the entrances to the "old town" of Rhodes that is literally enclosed by the stone walls. Part of the bike course goes around these hand-built, historic walls.
Within the city walls are shops and several historical sites. The first thing that grabbed my attention when I entered the old city was a gigantic stone ball. As I walked through the first courtyard, I saw more individual stones and piles of stones. The photo at the end of the column shows a pile of stones next to part of an old weapon. I'm assuming the weapon was a type of cannon, but I will need to confirm. I have seen the term "bombard" (a type of late medieval siege weapon) used in some of the literature, but I don't know the difference between a bombard and a cannon .
As the story goes, bombards were used to launch 260 kg (572 pound) stone balls some 100 to 200 meters (110 to 219 yards) to defend the city against attackers.
Looking at the defense weapons and the architecture, I am just amazed at the human labor it took to manufacture 500+ pound stone balls and to assemble walls around a city. The chasm of differences between the old world and the current era is mind boggling. Imagine, if you will, what life was like then.
If you would have told them, that you arrived on a "jet" that flew across the clouds and air from a land called USA to their island, what do you think they would have said to you?

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
Gold Beach outfielder Dakota Hensley (#14) is congratulated by several teammates after scoring a run in the Panthers 3-run sixth inning against Bandon on Thursday.
C.J. Maxwell's RBI single in the sixth inning broke a 1-1 tie and propelled the Gold Beach Panthers to a 4-2 win against the Bandon Tigers at Tiger Field in Bandon Wednesday afternoon.
Panther starting pitcher Dustin Carter and reliever Garrett Littrell held the Tigers to two runs on six hits. Littrell was able to work out of a jam in the bottom of the seventh inning, when he struck out Bandon's Shawn Peters - with the tying on third base and the winning run at second base.
The game was deadlocked at 1-1 when Maxwell lined an 0-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. Maxwell's hit provided a shot in the arm for the Panthers, as they scored three more runs in the inning to give Littrell a cushion at 4-1.
"I became kind of discouraged after falling behind 0-2 but I knew I had to keep my cool in a clutch situation like that and I knew I had to come through for my team," said Maxwell after his tie-breaking base knock. "I was excited and relieved."
Staked to a three run lead, Littrell found himself in a jam in the bottom of the seventh, as Bandon rallied. The Tigers were able to score a run and load the bases on Littrell with the help of an error and three walks. The right-handed hurler beared down and struck out Peters with the bases loaded to end the game.
"If I'm up by three runs and I have my best athlete on the mound I usually just go sit and relax," admitted Panther head coach Greg Brown. "We were going to win or lose with him."
"It was pretty tense but I knew Garrett would pull through for us," added Maxwell.
Gold Beach (17-5, 8-0) is tied for first place in the 1A/2A - SD5 league. They host Bonanza in a high noon, doubleheader showdown for the league title on Saturday.
"We've had a pretty big history with Bonanza. My sophomore year a pretty good rivalry started up between us and them. We're going to do everything we can to put it to those guys," said Maxwell of the upcoming twin bill.
"I expect to see good pitching out of them. They're a good ball club and you have to respect them. We just have to keep a cool head."
The Panthers have turned around a program that won only one game two years ago and nine games total from 2008-2012. According to Brown, much of this season's success can be attributed to a turnaround in attitude after the 2011-2012 season.
"Two years ago, when we only won one game, we made a rule that no quitters are allowed," declared Brown. "We don't quit. These kids don't give up, they don't quit."

Tony Ramos got some revenge and three other Iowa wrestlers scored upset wins Friday night and the third-ranked Iowa grapplers dominated No. 5 Oklahoma State in front of more than 10,000 fans inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
The Hawkeyes (9-1) won eight of the 10 bouts and pummeled the Cowboys 24-6 in a non-conference affair matching long-time wrestling rivals.
It was the largest margin of victory over Oklahoma State since Iowa won 29-10 in 1995. The win also snapped a two-match losing streak against the Cowboys.
Ramos dropped to third in the rankings at 133 following a pair of losses recently, but the Hawkeye senior showed why he began the season at No. 1. Ramos dominated top-ranked Jon Morrison, 8-2, after scoring two takedowns and three nearfall points. Ramos is now 31-0 lifetime at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
"Coming in here, I knew it was going to be a big match," said Ramos, who had lost two of his last three matches against ranked opponents. "I just wanted to go out and make a statement because I'm getting tired of hearing people saying I'm off this year. I'm not off. I'm not down. I had a bad match, and I got caught. Those are two things that happened, but you just keep moving forward."
Ramos was not the only Hawkeye to score an upset.
Fifteenth-ranked Brody Grothus took down third-ranked Josh Kindig by a 9-5 decision at 149 to give the Hawkeyes a 9-3 lead in the team standings. No. 5 Nick Moore also beat No. 2 Tyler Caldwell, 3-1, in Sudden Victory at 165 and then unranked Sammy Brooks downed No. 16 Nolan Boyd, 7-1, at 184.
Grothus scored a takedown in the first, a reversal and three nearfall points in the second, and added 3:11 of riding time to earn his third straight win over a top-10 opponent.
"You have to work hard in all aspects of wrestling," said Grothus. "It's like Terry Brands says, score first, score fast and then keep scoring. That was my mentality tonight."
Moore and Caldwell exchanged escapes in the second and third periods before the former Iowa City West four-time champion finished a shot with 15 seconds left in the first sudden-victory period.
"I had a clear mind the whole day," Moore said after avenging a 3-2 loss to Caldwell last season. "I was focused and ready to go. I had good training the whole week. I felt good and was ready to go when I stepped on the mat."
Top-ranked Derek St. John took a big step toward repeating as the 157-pound national champion when he dumped No. 2 Alex Dieringer, 2-1. The match was scoreless after one, but St. John turned the match his way when he reversed Dieringer with 24 seconds left in the second period. Those two points were the difference in the match. It was St. John's 27th straight win.
"Those are the things you fall into," said St. John, who improved to 30-0 all-time at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. "When you're on the bottom you're always trying to get to your feet. You're safe on your feet. I got to my feet a couple times, got stopped, and you just keep wrestling because those things open up and develop."
Top-ranked Chris Perry held on for a 5-4 win over No. 6 Mike Evans at 174 to cut Iowa's lead to 15-6, but Brooks, Nathan Burak, and Bobby Telford closed the dual with three straight wins.
Brooks used two takedowns and two back-points to defeat No. 16 Nolan Boyd, 7-1, at 184, and Burak used three takedowns to defeat Jordan Rogers, 8-3, at 197. Telford improved to 5-1 against ranked opponents with a 2-1 win over No. 15 Austin Mardsen at 285.
Third-ranked Thomas Gilman began the night with a 4-2 win over No. 16 Eddie Kilmara at 125 to give Iowa an early lead.
Iowa returns to the mat Sunday at 2 p.m. when Indiana visits Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Aug. 1, 2012
ETON DORNEY, United Kingdom - Conlin McCabe, Rob Gibson and Will Crothers have all won National Championships as Husky rowers. Now the decorated trio can add Olympic medalists to their growing resumes.
The Canadian men's eight won silver at the 2012 London Olympics on Wednesday morning, using a well-executed sprint in the final 500 meters to cruise past host Great Britain for second place. Germany, which has yet to lose a race in a major competition since 2008, won gold.
"Proud to be Canadian & a HUSKY," Gibson tweeted moments after the final. "Thank you everyone for all the support. Means the world to me."
The United States, which was powered by a pair of Huskies in Giuseppe Lanzone and Brett Newlin, finished fourth. Despite dropping to sixth in the second 500, the Americans were able to claw back into the race with the fastest third 500 of the six competing crews. With Newlin setting the tempo at stroke, the USA passed both Australia and the Netherlands, and was just inches away from edging Great Britain for a podium spot.
Crothers remarked after the race it was one of the fastest finals he'd ever been a part of. And the splits reflected those comments. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth-place crews all finished at nearly the same moment, separated by microscopic intervals.
Canada posted a time of 5:49.98 on the 2,000-meter course on Dorney Lake in suburban London, just over a second behind the first-place Germans. It was a gutsy effort for a crew who began their Olympics with a lackluster performance in the heats, and then had to qualify for the finals out of the repechage. Not quite the effort many were expecting from the defending gold medalists.
Nearly 30,000 fans bracketed the Dorney Lake course, providing for one of the most intense rowing environments the sport has seen. McCabe joked to reporters afterwards that it was louder than a lot of the ice hockey games back home in Canada. "There was some serious noise to bring you home," McCabe told Row2k.com.
Unlike the heat, Canada didn't try to match the Germans at the start of the finals. Instead, the Canadians rowed true to the style of their personnel, lurking in the pack before picking off crews at the finish. When Crothers stroked Washington to a National Championship in 2009, the Kingston, Ontario, native used a similar tactic to help the Huskies slingshot past Stanford and California at the finish.
Washington has long held a tradition of developing top-end Canadian talent. But this marked just the third occasion a rower with UW ties has medaled for Canada, going back to Blair Horn's gold medal with the M8+ in the 1984 Games and Dave Calder's silver in 2008 in the pair.
While this was the first Olympic medal for the trio of Huskies who rowed for the Canadian eight, each has factored into some significant achievements as Washington oarsmen. Gibson and Crothers were part of two IRA titles (2007 and 2009) with UW, while McCabe assisted the Huskies to a win in 2011. The 21-year-old McCabe will return to Washington next season as a senior.
There are still two more opportunities for Huskies to medal for Canada. On Friday, Calder will race for a repeat medal in the pair final. And on Saturday, Anthony Jacob will race in the final of the open four.
Olympic Men's Eight, Grand Final Results
Germany 5:48.75
Canada 5:49.98
Great Britain 5:51.18
United States 5:51.48
Netherlands 5:51.72
Australia 5:51.87

If a new internal memo is to be believed, the date could in fact be January 9th? The Moto G is great for people that need a quality smartphone on Verizon Prepaid. It can be a backup phone. But it looks like you can only use 3G even though the tech spec say it supports a micro sim. I don't know if Verizon has those yet. Our point is 3G on Verizon is 1-2Mbps if you're lucky, while on T-Mobile you get what, 10-20Mbps on 3G?
Either way, $100 for this phone is a GREAT price. i was thinking of hanging on to my G-nex as a media player, but if i can sell that for like $100 and pick up one of these I would totally do that. do they require you to sign up when purchasing?

College Hockey:George goal caps comeback as Sacred Heart edges Army
WEST POINT, N.Y. – Sacred Heart completed a thrilling comeback victory, beating Army 6-5. The main story of this score-fest was the Pioneers' ability to overcome three-goal and two-goal deficits.
"Coming back from two goals down [in the third period], we just clawed all the way back and kept at it," said Sacred Heart coach C.J. Marottolo. "We kept making plays and getting shots on net."
The opening frame belonged to Army, however, as the Black Knights struck 8:45 into the period on a fluky goal by Zak Zaremba. Following a shot fired by Brian Shultz, the puck bounced in off of Zaremba's upper body.
Following a boarding penalty taken by Pioneer Ben Lake, Army extended its lead on the power play. Willie Faust blasted a shot that was saved by Pioneers goaltender Alex Vazzano's left pad, but Joe Kozlak was there to snap it home at 9:27 of the first period.
Just 47 seconds later, Josh Richards recorded his first goal of the year when he sniped a wrist shot from the top of the circle off of a two-on-one rush to give Army a three-goal lead.
"It was a great play from my linemates; we were able to get a two-on-one and I was able to put it in," Richards said.
To calm his team down, Marottolo decided to make a goalie change and replaced Vazzano with Andrew Bodnarchuk.
This tactic seemed to work when, despite being a man down, Sacred Heart's Ben Lake scored on a smooth deke at 17:27, cutting Army's lead to two before the break.
In the second period, Sacred Heart picked up where it left off. Taking advantage of Army's lax defending in front of the net, Daniel Lisi rebounded it in off of Justin Danforth's blast from the point just 41 seconds into the second.
Sacred Heart kept the pressure on Army's defense through the first half of the period and tied the score at 8:53 when Jake Lynes received a pass from Erlich Doerksen and snapped one in.
Having blown their three-goal lead, the Black Knights came out in the second half of the period determined to change the momentum. Their efforts were rewarded with two goals in a 10-second span.
Josh Richards continued to demonstrate his scoring prowess, taking a blistering slap shot past Bodnarchuck 15:20 into the second. Ten seconds later, Army's Mac Lalor fired a shot from the blue line that snuck past a screened Bodnarchuk. The period concluded with what felt like a rare five-minute stint without a goal, leaving the score 5-3 Army going into the third frame.
At 8:51 into the third, Mitch Nylen out-muscled Army defenders for position in the slot and was rewarded with a juicy rebound from a Lisi shot that he struck home to trim the Black Knight's lead to one.
Less than three minutes later, with Army's C.J. Reuschlein in the box for roughing, Pioneer Will Rayner slapped a shot in from the blue line at 11:46 to tie the game up at five.
Army continued to play with abandon, resulting in a costly two-minute tripping penalty on Marc Lalor 16:14 into the third period.
The Pioneers moved the puck expertly on their power play and after some quick passing, Drew George tapped it into an open net for the game-winner with 2:12 left.
"It was an up-and-down game and lots of highs and lows," George said. "We were clicking well on the power play before, and I was able to get a wide open net and luckily I didn't miss it."
These teams face off again tomorrow night in Danbury, Conn.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 30 December 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18531230-TC-JWC-01; CL 28: 366
Scotsbrig, Friday Evg 30 decr / 1853—
No letter for me today; which was a kind of disappointment: and I cannot get home tomorrow; it will not be till Monday (about midnight) that I can come. But then, you may expect me.
I am well enough in health; get, one way and other, fully my average of sleep; and after tomorrow noon, I shall be alone, with liberty to roam abroad in the solitary places; and wind up in such composure as I can this stern and sacred Sabbath-week I have had.
Yesterday was full of misery and oppression to me, as natural; a grim ever-memorable day. No tear visited my eyes; my heart held very many in it. Today there has been a parting of the mournful lot of remnants she has done with in this world: John presided over it all morning, I holding quite aloof; at length towards afternoon it became evident that to finish it this night at all, I must intervene. It is now all but done; Jack is off, only Mary and Jean now here.— I have had to eat my Dinner (at 5 o'clock) without any walk; mean now to walk to Ecclefechan with this and return for tea—
A little mahogany medical thing that once belonged to your Father, and was sent hither but never used here, returns to you;—also a green Bottle which was once old Grandfather Walter's:1 that shall be set aside here (if I cannot carry it), and kept safe either for my Jeannie or one of her Cousins.
Yesterday the very snow rang as we slowly wended thro' it. I took a long walk about 9 at night: there was then, and thro' night afterwards, thaw; but at morning & now the iron frost was more intense than ever. Pray Heaven there may be a letter for me tomorrow: I have little chance of any, if not then. God bless thee

Overall Experience
Great bed, homely feel
April 18, 2016
The internet gets pretty flaky when the hotel is busy but other than that this hotel is really good.
Very relaxing and friendly service
April 17, 2016
Enjoyed bringing the family back to the hotel - we visited when it first opened in 2012. New editions of the social and the breakfast made the suite an added plus. Love the rooms and the kitchenette. We enjoyed the pool and the exercise room. Rooms are clean and spacey. Restful and peaceful lovely environment. I'm planning to return in a couple of months for another break from ordinary schedule.

It was a really nice experience that I will cherish for rest of my life. I would love to stay here every time I visit NJ.
The hotel staff is very nice. Perry, Melissa and Tunde were very helpful and they keep the atmosphere very vibrant. Only thing i wish I could get is aloo parantha which is too much to expect in American hotel!!
Overall very nice.
Friendly staff and clean comfortable room
April 04, 2016
This is the 4th time I have stayed at this property and will stay in the future. Staff is always friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable. My stays here are for business and compared to other properties in the area while this hotel is not the least expensive it hits all the right notes for me. Don't change anything! This stay I was located in a room closer to highway (Route 1) but was not bothered by road noise. Keep up the good work!

Marijuana Caregivers Massachusetts
On November 6, 2012, the State of Massachusetts became
the 18'th state in the nation to legalize the use and
possession of marijuana for medicinal purposes.
With an overwhelming 63% of votes cast in favor of the
measure and 37% cast against it, the State of Massachusetts will now
allow qualified patients the opportunity to obtain and use marijuana for
controlling symptoms of certain medical conditions, including AIDS/HIV,
glaucoma, cancer and other debilitating medical conditions.
The proposed new law will allow qualified patients to possess up
to a sixty-day supply of medical marijuana and the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health will decide exactly what amount of marijuana
constitutes a "sixty-day supply."

Motivation Monday: Getting to the Gym
I go to gym practically everyday during my lunch break.
I've been doing this for over two and a half years and hate missing my workout time – it makes the whole day drag and leaves me feeling completely out-of-it. Now I will say that it's not always easy to get to the gym everyday but there are a few ways that I try to ensure I get my workout in regardless of my schedule and time restraints:
1. Schedule My Workouts into My Calendar
I literally block off 12 – 1 PM every single day at work to detour people from scheduling meetings all afternoon and not leaving any time for a quick run or spin class. Yes, sometimes that may have to move back later in the day but it's always there – one full hour where I am not available in the office. This not only makes it a priority every single day but it serves as a reminder to myself to get out of the office.
2. Remember ALL of My Gym Stuff
The smallest thing can detour a gym workout: forgotten socks, sandals, clean panties, a dead iPod… just one thing forgotten can cause me to ditch the gym so I have a checklist written up on an index card both at home and at the office so I always remember everything I need. The list includes:
Workout pants, workout top, socks, panties, sneakers, iPod, headphones, spin shoes (when needed), water bottle, sandals, body wash and deoderant.
Most of the time this is all in my workout bag but on Sunday night's I have to replenish and it's nice to have a check list to remind me of all the necessities.
2b. Have Back-ups
I don't always remember everything BUT that doesn't mean I need to forgo my spin class! In my desk at work I always have an extra pair of panties, socks, deoderant and headphones that way I can still work up a sweat.
3. Remind Myself how Great I Feel After
I'll admit, there are days that I don't necessarily feel like working out and some of those days I don't, but most days I remind myself that I always feel better after I workout. Working up a sweat always helps me feel more awake, energized and even more creative. A quick 3 mile run or flowing yoga sequence can take any blah day and turn it into a good day.
4. Keep Track of My Workouts
I love tracking my workouts in my Exercise Journal and seeing my progress as I become a little faster and stronger every week. It always gives me that bit of motivation I need to keep going on days when I'm tired or not feeling like hitting the gym. It reminds me of how well I'm doing and how much farther I have to go.
5. Choose Activities I Enjoy!
Exercising shouldn't be a horrible experience. In my opinion you should enjoy how you decide to move your body and therefore I choose activities that I find fun and exciting. That doesn't mean they're easy; in fact, all of the classes I particiapte in are quite challenging, but I still find them enjoyable which makes it a lot easier to go everyday.
6. Give Myself a Day Off When Necessary
There are times when I just don't want to go to the gym and that's okay. They're rest days and everyone needs them. So rather than beat myself up, I just enjoy the time off and look forward to a kick ass workout the next day.
I know that getting to the gym everyday is hard but honestly, once you work it into your schedule it becomes part of your routine, your lifestyle and who you are so it's not as hard anymore.
Do you have any tips or tricks that help you get to the gym?!

I use both h/amp and speakers but my preference is to listen through speakers. A h/amp is the best way to evaluate any mods since there is no hiding place using a good, sensitive h/amp. What has surprised me is that the power version of the Bada h/amp conveys almost as much detail as the h/amp and that with only a change of the coupling caps - I ditch any Solens I find as well as Wimas, though I will give Darios Wimas a chance.
50AE - I was persuaded by my Dutch mate Harry to shell out(spend for non English speakers) for a pair of Dutch hand made silver foil 0.47uF caps - they were not cheap but worth every penny - I shall swap them into the Bada power amp.
For those using cap out with this DAC - ERSE caps, very cheap,very small and better anything other than the most expensive caps. They go deep and the top is as sweet as a nut. You have to buy a minimum of $25 (I think) seriously give these caps a try - a 3.3uF would be a good value to try.
Re. PSU caps - I was lucky enough to buy in lots of Philips LL caps and Rifas both of which are now NOS. Unfortunately I don't have any with enough poke to use with this DAC. The Philips are superb with just a hint of warmth and I can't understand the fanatical support for BGs especially the hugely expensive PSU caps and in a straight fight between the original Silmics (not Silmic11) and BGs, the Silmics bass is way better.
Erin - I once did'nt understand that neutral does'nt mean bland , quite the opposite. Neutral means more of the original signal gets through. So I don't want anything other than a neutral response. With a less than neutral sound timbre and colour is lost. Piano and electric guitar are excellant for showing what kind of sound a system produces, if the music is mellow then it should sound mellow and if an electric guitar is jangly and sharp then for me that means my system is reproducing what is on the vinyl or CD.
A suggestion for those who bought finished boards - instead of de-soldering components, think about cutting just the bodies of the Rs or caps (the components supplied are cheap enough to destroy), leaving the leads still soldered to the PCB - solder onto these and when you are satisfied with your choice of component then and only then de-solder the original legs and solder in the final component choice. Wait until you are happy with the whole sound and take the PCB out just the once.
My limited knowledge is about analogue circuits not digital so this DAC will be a learning curve for me and I hope that I shall approach this with an open mind.

a guy who i sold this dac to just informed me that the board still makes sound when he takes out the op-amp, and that the tranformer overheats when doing so.
what is going on here?!
it also makes sound when he plugs in the op-amp backwards.

Yes, there is a resistor in the feedback loop connected to both DAC and output, thats why you get sound with no Opamp. The transformer overheats when the opamp is connected backwards because the opamp is now fried and shorting the power supply.
If you give up easily Dont start!!

I have a specific question.
The DAC kit goes into an "undefined state", when no S/P-DIF signal is present. It gives a +/- 250 Hz, 26 mV output. (when the SP/DIF is available, it goes "silent" and only 0,1 mV on the output is present).
The "auto detect" function in the CS8416 which should give a high or low on pin 15 is not working properly. Even with no input, it shows a low output and the AK4393 (pin 8) is also low. By datasheet is means:
Soft Mute Pin in parallel mode
When this pin goes "H", soft mute cycle is initiated.
When returning L, the output mute releases.
When connecting a CD-player (Marantz CD4000) and switching it on, the output changes, and the output on the opamp goes to 0,1 mV. (when no CD is inserted).
Anyone knows why the does not sense "audio or no-audio"? Normally the LED should be illuminated when no audio is connected, by the led is dark.

Very interesting, as just this morning I had a situation where both amps and the DAC were powered up before I turned the computer on. I got a low level yet smooth hiss with the error light on. As soon as Windows activated the S/Pdif driver the error light went out, the "96 present" led activated and the hiss disappeared. I didn't see it as a big problem and suspect that protection circuit/function is not fully implemented in this design.
I'll also be interested in any further details and or mods. With the MyRef amps I'm using, the DAC MUST be on (signal or not) first to avoid some really ugly and possibly speaker damaging noise.

CS8416 is the source of your problems - the hiss you mention...
When it loses SPDIF signal, PLL loses lock and VCO frequency drops to ~750 kHz,
and you get the hiss on your DAC output.
However there is a simple solution to this problem - just connect a 11.2896 MHz oscillator
to the OMCK pin on the CS8416 - tried it and it works great.
For a more detailed explanation read page 28 in the CS8416 datasheet.
Nothing to see here...

BTW. just to mention, on these ebay DAC kits, the OMCK pin is soldered to ground.
So you should desolder the pin, and pull it up, than solder a thin piece of wire to it and connect to an oscillator...
Not an easy task, you have to be very careful not the break the pins of the CS8416, but I managed to do it on two DAC boards so far, so it's not impossible...

For the second time in team history, the Manchester Monarchs are in the Eastern Conference Final.
And for the second time, they'll face the Hershey Bears.
The teams' Calder Cup playoff history is brief - the Bears swept the Monarchs in 2007 to advance to the Cup final.
This year, the teams played just twice during the regular season, with Manchester winning 2-1 in Hershey on Oct. 11, and Hershey winning in Manchester 4-1 on Nov. 7.
Game 1 is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday night in Hershey.
"Hershey has been sitting there and waiting for the longest time," Manchester coach Mark Morris said after his team knocked out Worcester on Friday. "No doubt they had people here and had us scouted. We'll get the video ready and show the guys the tape and get ready for Game 1."
The Bears completed a sweep of Albany in the East Division Final on April 29. Hershey, which finished with an AHL best 123 points, won its 10th Calder Cup title last season and will be looking for its 21st finals appearance.
"They're an organization that they really load up every year," Morris said. "They play to win the thing from the get-go. They have lots of veterans. They're organization is hitting on all cylinders right now. All you have to do is look to the rafters and see they're history."
The Monarchs enter the series having won eight of 10 playoff games this season, and 16 of their last 20 games dating back to the regular season.
Leading the way have been Bud Holloway, who tied an AHL record with six game-winning goals, and goalie Jonathan Bernier.
Bernier's 1.48 goals-against average in the playoffs is tops among goalies who have played more than five games. Worcester's Alex Stalock is second at 2.28.
The Monarchs and Bears will return to the ice for Game 2 on Saturday in Hershey. The series move to Manchester on May 17 for Game 3.

The worst thing that happened to this team was staying "in the playoff picture" because Sparano lives by the same mantra as all coaches that "in that case, I'll go with the guy who gives me the best opportunity to win"

When you are like the Redskins, and are already eliminated, you're more willing to pull the trigger on what the pundits would call a trivial move.Bitchin' Davehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20955632.post-59103328221620030342010-12-18T15:38:16.675-05:002010-12-18T15:38:16.675-05:00Dave, you need to mention that it does not matter ...Dave, you need to mention that it does not matter if the Fins make the playoffs. Without a decent QB they are going nowhere. So keeping Henne in to make the playoffs is pointless.Craighttp://email@example.com

Young Marine Uniform The official uniform for youth in the Young Marines Program is the Woodland pattern camouflage shirt, trousers, white T-shirt and cover. This uniform is required for all Young Marines events over the unit level. The uniform will be worn as follows:
- Shirt with Young Marine breast pocket patch worn centered above the left breast pocket, 1/8-inch above the pocket. The Young Marines shoulder patch is worn on the left sleeve with the unit designation arc centered above the patch, on the shoulder seam.
- Trousers with straight or pouch pockets. Name tapes will be sewn over the right rear pocket of the trousers centered and flush over the top seam.
- Khaki web belt with brass Marine Corps style buckle or anodized buckles as authorized.
- Boots may be either black or jungle type and are desig- nated by the unit's Commanding Officer. Units may not mix boots.
- WHITE T-shirts will be worn with the uniform at all times.
- Ribbons are worn so that the lowest row of ribbons is 1/8-inch above the left breast pocket patch and centered. Ribbons are worn in the order of prece- dence established in the Awards Manual. They are preferably worn in rows of three. However, they may be worn in rows of four.
- An olive drab name tape is worn centered over the right pocket, flush to the pocket seam and flush to the edges of the pocket.
- Covers are to be maintained in a starched condition. Shirt and trousers are not starched.
- Rank chevrons are worn on the blouse collar. They are placed vertically with the single point up and center of the insignia on a line bisecting the angle of the point of the collar. The lower outside edges of the chevron are placed 1/2 inch from the edge of the collar.
- Young Marines wear rank chevrons on their cover. The rank chevron will be centered top to bottom, left to right on the front of the cover.
- Each unit should have a unit T-shirt with their name and the Young Marine designation imprinted on the shirt. Colors may vary. These T-shirts should be part of each Young Marines PT gear. They may also be worn for activities and functions where the camouflage uniform is inappropriate, for example, car washes, certain community service projects, etc.
It is a Young Marine's responsibility to keep his uniform clean and neatly pressed at all times. Boots are polished with a high shine on the toes and heels. Ribbons that become soiled or faded should be replaced. All Young Marines are expected to keep themselves clean and well-groomed whether in uniform or not.
