NEW SMYRNA BEACH — New Smyrna Beach senior Dexter Dixon calls it "just another game.''
Week 11 Games
• Pine Ridge at University (at Deltona High), 7 p.m.
• Atlantic at Matanzas, 7 p.m.
• Trinity Christian at Deltona, 7 p.m.
• Father Lopez at Taylor, 7 p.m.
• Orlando Olympia at Mainland, 7 p.m.
• New Smyrna Beach at Spruce Creek (at NSB Sports Complex), 7 p.m.
IDLE: Calvary Christian, DeLand, Flagler Palm Coast, Seabreeze, Warner Christian
True, there are no playoff implications, but it's far from another game.
Friday night at NSB Sports Complex Stadium, the Barracudas (8-0) will be looking to become just the fifth team in their school's 89-year history to post an unbeaten regular season.
"We're just trying to win every game,'' NSB senior James Clark said. "We're just going to come out there and give it everything we've got from the moment that we step on the field.''
Standing in the way of NSB, which is ranked eighth in Class 6A, is Spruce Creek (2-7), which will hand out rings to its 2012 state championship baseball team on the field both teams share.
"It's Spruce Creek, and that's always been a big rivalry dating back to Pop Warner,'' NSB senior linebacker Jory Jackson said. "They're having their ring ceremony on our field, and that's kind of embarrassing.''
It's been 13 years since NSB went 10-0 en route to the state semifinals, and the 1972 team went 10-0 behind future University of Florida All-American and NFL great Wes Chandler. One then has to the roll back the clock more than three decades to find the Barracudas' other two unbeaten campaigns — 1939 (7-0-2) and 1935 (9-0-1).
In last year's Creek-NSB game, the Hawks scored the game winner with just more than a minute left to play. The 23-20 loss was the difference between a winning and losing season for the Barracudas, who finished 4-5.
"We've got a lot to play for," Spruce Creek coach Bob Goebel said. "New Smyrna Beach, they're undefeated, and our kids would love to knock them off. We beat them last year, and it's something to play for.''
New Smyrna Beach coach Lance Jenkins, who was offensive coordinator for the Barracudas when they last went unbeaten, is tasked this week with keeping the Barracudas from looking ahead to next week's state playoff showdown with ninth-ranked Winter Haven (8-1).
However, focus doesn't seem to be a problem.
"It's Spruce Creek, that's always a rivalry game," NSB senior linebacker Vince Thomas said. "It's about going unbeaten and getting revenge for last year's loss to them. We (went unbeaten) in Pop Warner, so it's like it's meant to be. We're just hoping to do the same thing.''
A spring game win over Mainland set hopes high for Spruce Creek this season, but the Hawks have struggled through a 2-7 campaign. Spoiling the Barracudas' unbeaten season would surely help soothe the sting of a losing season.
"I think we can beat New Smyrna," Creek sophomore running back Collin Olsen said. "I hope that's what's going to happen. It's a rivalry game. It's both our home field. ... We have quite a few seniors that just want to go out strong and win their last game.''
For Spruce Creek, there is no tomorrow this season. For NSB, the Barracudas don't want to go into the postseason coming off their only loss.

La Donna Musicale is a unique ensemble dedicated to the historically-informed performance of music by women composers from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods and to the performance of contemporary music by women. Praised by Early Music America for its "excellent performers" and "outstanding music stylishly performed," the Boston-based ensemble has given the modern world premieres of works by Antonia Bembo, Chiara Margarita Cozzolani, Maria Xaviera Peruchona and Julie Pinel, among others. La Donna Musicale's performers are trained in the study of historical performance practice and the group frequently collaborates with noted musicologists Claire Fontijn, Robert Kendrick, David Lasocki, Thierry Favier, and Catherine Gordon-Seifert. In addition to concerts in the U.S. and in Europe, La Donna Musicale has been featured in educational programs such as Meet the Performer at Harvard University and Learning to Listen at Bryn Mawr College.
La Donna Musicale's groundbreaking recordings, The Seven Psalms of David, Vols. I and II, feature Baroque composers Antonia Bembo and Elisabeth de la Guerre. These CDs constitute the largest recorded compilation of Bembo's music to date. Both received outstanding reviews in Early Music America, International Record Review and Early Music (UK). La Donna Musicale's newest recording, The Pleasures of Love and Libation: Airs by Julie Pinel and other Parisian Women, showcasing Baroque and Rococo music, as well as Vol. 1 of the Seven Psalms, have received the highest praise (5 stars) from the international early music journal Goldberg. These CDs were also hailed by reviewers for Early Music America and CD HotList.
Lydia Heather Knutson, Mezzo-soprano, has performed around the world, appearing on radio and at leading music festivals in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Latin America, and Australia, including the Bergen (Norway), Cervantino (Mexico), Adelaide (Australia), Tanglewood Music Festival; and the Boston, San Francisco, Vancouver, and Amherst Early Music Festivals. She is a member of the medieval ensemble Fortune's Wheel, the Blue Heron Renaissance Choir, and La Donna Musicale.

She holds degrees in solo performance and historical performance practice from Indiana University, Longy School of Music, and the College of Saint Scholastica. She also received fellowships and a scholarship from Boston University, where she did doctoral work in historical performance. Ms. Gutiérrez has performed with Thomas Binkley, Monica Huggett, John Holloway and Wendy Gillespie, among others. She has been a guest artist-lecturer at Northeastern University, Harvard University, and Brandeis University. She has recorded with La Donna Musicale for radio stations WGBH and WHRB and for the 2001 film Simon Bolivar. Ms. Gutiérrez is a recipient of a prestigious fellowship from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.

There have been rumors Amazon has been positioning itself to hit the market with a new 3D smartphone to compete with Samsung and Apple. Although the Amazon smartphone was just something rumored to be on the drawing board a few months ago it now looks like it's actually in production reported International Business Times on May 1, 2014. BGR has published an image which it says is a leaked preview of the new Amazon 3D smartphone.
BGR claims many trusted sources have verified the image is authentic. It was apparently created for internal use by graphic designers at Amazon. Sources have said the phone will have a special type of 3D-motion-sensing functionality which will respond to movement. The Wall Street Journal reported in early April that Amazon was preparing to launch a smartphone during the second half of 2014.
An image which was obtained by Boy Genius Report is said to show the front and back of a smartphone with the Amazon logo reports CNET. This image has reportedly been illustrated by Amazon graphic designers for internal use by the firm. The image shows the front of the phone with large tiles on the screen along with three buttons on the side. The Amazon logo is on the back of the phone with two speaker grilles at the bottom.
The Amazon 3D smartphone will reportedly offer users a new and unique interface. It is anticipated the phone will track the position of your head through several cameras and sensors. This phone will therefore be capable of displaying various 3D effects in supported apps from Amazon and third-party providers. Sources say the phone will offer a 4.7-inch display with 720p HD resolution, 2GB of RAM, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and a 13-megapixel rear camera. It looks like this smartphone from Amazon could offer some heated competition for Samsung and Apple.

Eric Hansen was pleased with the team's first outing of the year.
"Overall I'm really happy to see where we are," Hansen said. "We had nice freshman performances on both sides, and some upperclassmen that had solid swims as well. I can see the things we're working on begin to trickle into their racing, and that's a very good sign."
The women were led by freshman duo Bonnie Brandon (Centennial, Colo.) and Emma Schoettmer (Greenwood, Ind.). Brandon had first place finishes in the 200 IM and 200 back, posting times of 2:03.00 and 1:58.34, respectively. Schoettmer swam to victory in the 100 breast with a time of 1:02.88.
Juniors Ashley Evans (Phoenix, Ariz.), Margo Geer (Milford Center, Ohio), and Samantha Pickens (Murrysville, Pa.) also came in first for the Wildcats. Evans won the 200 fly with a time of 2:03.95, Pickens posted a 348.15 in the 3m dive, and Geer won the 100 free with a time of 48.88.
Geer also took a victory in the 200 free relay with a time of 1:33.05. Joining her were seniors Megan Lafferty (Upper Dublin, Pa.) and Monica Drake (Bloomington, Ill.), as well as junior Kait Flederbach (Carmel, Ind.). The other relay for the day, the 400 medley, was also won. Flederbach, Lafferty, and seniors Chelsey Salli (Vancouver, B.C.) and Lauren Smart (Charlotte, N.C.) hit the wall with a final time of 3:19.45.
The men experienced similar success, posting six first-place finishes on the day.
Senior Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or (Jerusalem, Israel) edged out junior teammate Woody Joye (Coosada, Ala.) to take the 200 IM with a time of 1:52.26.
Junior Matt Barber (Kingwood, Texas) swam a 500 free in 4:35.33 to take first, while sophomore Kevin Cordes (Naperville, Ill.) won the 100 breast with a time of 55.37. The final individual first place finish for the men went to senior Matt Hurko, who swam a 1:51.24 200 back.
As with the women, the men also won the 200 free and 400 medley relays. Juniors Mitchell Friedemann (Allenton, Wis.), Tommy Gutman (Jacksonville, Fla.), Giles Smith (Baltimore, Md.), and senior Nick Popov (Karlsruhe, Germany) led the way in the 200 free with a time of 1:22.55. The men closed out day one with a 3:19.45 time on the 400 medley relay, swam by Friedemann, Cordes, Joye, and Shapira Bar-Or.
The second and final day of the opening dual will begin tomorrow, Saturday Oct. 20 at 10 a.m.

High Point Highlights: Biltmore® Chateau Reserve Collection
As a Biltmore ® licensee, Habersham will add new designs to its Biltmore ® Chateau Reserve Collection during Spring High Point Market, April 20-24, 2013. So if you're coming to market, be sure to visit us to see these and other designs– Market Square, #191, as well as at the Made in America Pavilion in the Suites At Market Square, #1-802.
Pieces in our Biltmore ® Chateau Reserve collection draw their inspiration from the entertainment and hospitality that defined the landmark Asheville, NC estate at the turn of the century. The collection's grand scale designs and accent furnishings perfectly reflect the art, architecture, history and ambiance of the estate.
Among the newest designs includes the Vanderbilt King Bed (shown), which was inspired by the Sheraton Room at Biltmore House. Its headboard, footboard, posts and canopy are neoclassical in style, creating a large- scale image of grandeur. The piece is named for Biltmore's visionary creator George Vanderbilt and the twin style is named for his daughter, Cornelia. Look for a new design this spring!

One of the most challenging aspects of sickle cell disease is the severe pain and frequent infections experienced by children with the disease. Pain is caused by the sickle-shaped blood cells getting stuck in narrow blood vessels, blocking the flow of blood. Because this can lead to organ damage or failure, it is important that the pain be diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible. Fever may also signal a serious health crisis.
Appropriate medicines must be given as quickly as possible to prevent serious complications. For this reason, Dayton Children's tracks how quickly children presenting with pain, fever or both are treated.
Dayton Children's also educates parents and/ or caregivers so that they can manage their child's pain and fever promptly. This includes having an appropriate home treatment pain plan and making sure to call the attending hematologist at Dayton Children's before coming to the emergency room.
At Dayton Children's, we strive to ensure that our sickle cell patients receive their pain and /or fever medications within 60-90 minutes of arrival.

3-1-3 students compile an impressive list of academic accomplishments every year.
Thirty five percent to 65 percent of them have a 3.25 G.P.A. or higher even though many are enrolled in, for example, 300-level language classes and almost all of them take macro or micro economics. The 3-1-3 students, taken as a major, often have the highest average G.P.A. of freshmen in any major. For the most part, 3-1-3 students continue their success even after their graduation from the program.
Each year, 3-1-3 students are among area valedictorians and salutatorians, are active in high school musicals and plays, win awards as athletes, edit high school newspapers and yearbooks and engage in a wide range of other high school activities. Others choose to become involved in college activities ranging from the casts of plays to the staffs of college student publications.
In 1995 a survey was distributed to former 3-1-3 participants (1975-1994) to gather information on the impact the 3-1-3 program had made on their academic career and on their lives:
While many program students decide to continue their college career at Fredonia, others have transferred to a wide variety of colleges and universities all over the country: Syracuse University, Wake Forest, Kent State, Colgate, University of Buffalo, Duquesne, Delaware, Clarkson, Cornell, Alabama, Montana State, Penn State, RIT, North Carolina, Sarah Lawrence, Purdue, Dartmouth, Northeastern and many others.
Future of 3-1-3
Whether students and their parents choose the 3-1-3 program to save a year of college tuition and room and board, to achieve academic credentials for admission to very competitive scholarships or colleges, or to discover just how well they can do in a college environment, 3-1-3's unique combination of individual attention and program flexibility continues to serve students' purposes.
Saving tuition money through the accumulation of early college credits is even a more vital concern these days than in 1972. However, such a savings can be hollow indeed, viewed in the light of the nationwide attrition rate for full time college freshmen, unless it is coupled with the building of tools for success. We believe, and are firmly committed to the idea that our very special program can offer this area's students both early credit and a better chance at actually earning a college degree.
So, the program continues to be, after more than 30 years, an option and an opportunity for some high school seniors within driving distance of the college to widen their experience while they still have the close support of family and high school.

In two nights of exciting bull riding action, a pair of up-and-coming stars of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) dominated the headlines. Scottie Knapp took top honors in the Division II Xtreme Bulls on March 21, 2014; twenty-four hours later, Jordan Spears rode two bulls in the Division I event to take the Championship.
The two-night stop on the PRCA's Xtreme Bulls Tour was hosted by the Avi Resort and Casino; the small town of Fort Mohave, Arizona is just down the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada.
On Friday night, it was all Knapp. The 23 year old rider from Albuquerque, New Mexico was the ninth of 40 cowboys to compete. He tangled with Stink Eye, a veteran bull from Four Star Rodeo Company who carried four-time PRCA World Champ J.W. Harris to a round win at the 2012 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) in Las Vegas.
"I'd been on him once before and the clock showed 7.9 seconds," laughed Knapp. "So this was a rematch and I had it out for him; thankfully it worked out."
Knapp handled the bull with ease, earning 90 points from the judges. He needed every inch of it--in what was likely one of the best events of the season thus far, Knapp won by just half a point over Paul Coppini with Tustin Daye and Brady Portenier just another half behind that at 89 points.
"I enjoyed every minute of it," said Knapp of watching rider after rider come oh-so-close to beating him. "I'm blessed just to be a part of this."
Knapp began riding sheep at three years of age, the same time his father started riding bulls at the age of 36.
"I fell in love with it right away and there's no turning back now," he laughs. "I like them to blow and spin, maybe give me a chance to stick my chest out and let loose and spur them a little."
"But you've got to ride them all."
The crowd was entertained when Arizona riders Daye and Craig Begay were paired with spectators in a bounty bonus program. By making the eight-seconds aboard Smokin' Ace from the Honeycutt Rodeo Company, Daye earned $500 cash for the spectator who had been paired with him through a drawing.
Knapp earned $3,948 for the win while Coppini banked $3,027. The win kick started 2014 for Knapp, who finished 19th in the PRCA World standings last season.
Ironically, Knapp was slated to ride Stink Eye again on Saturday night (the weekend is considered two separate events, allowing for a rider to draw the same bull twice) but the bull injured himself on Friday night and was unable to compete.
"He's got a lot more rhythm and style; he's easier to get along with," said Knapp of Stink Eye in comparison with his Saturday bull, Cattin' Around also from Four Star Rodeo. He was bucked off prior to eight seconds on the latter.
Saturday night was all about Spears. The Northern Californian finished sixth in a tough field of rookies in 2013, which included two who qualified for the WNFR.
Spears spurred his way to the first round win with 88 points on Mystro, another bull from the Four Star string.
Although the bull shares Spears' current hometown of Cottonwood, California, he had never been on him before.
"I've seen him several times but never had the chance to get on him before," said Spears. "I'm glad I got the chance at him here, for the big money and where it counted."
"I grew up getting on Jeff's [Davis, owner of Four Star Rodeo] bulls and it felt good to come to a PRCA event and get on one of his."
Casey Huckabee was second, a distance behind Spears with 85 points, while former WNFR qualifier Bobby Welsh finished third with 83.5 points.
In the Championship Round, it appeared that Welsh might take the early lead as the Wyoming cowboy was still aboard Top Gun at the eight second whistle. However, the judges ruled that Welsh had slapped his bull with the free hand just after beginning his ride, disqualifying him from the competition.
Cody Samora covered Haunted Mesa from 4L & Diamond S Rodeo for 86 points to lead the event with only Spears left to ride in the finals.
Spears had drawn another good bull from 4L & Diamond S, Smashing Success. The California cowboy went after the bull right out of the chutes, spurring aggressively through the eight seconds. He earned 87 points.
"It felt really good and I had to really hustle; it felt like he bucked hard and I had to try harder than my long round bull," said Spears. "I hadn't seen him before last night but I heard from a lot of the guys that he's a good bull to have."
"That's how I try to go after each bull," he said of his aggressive style, spurring early in the ride. "I try to be aggressive. If you sit back and let the bull take the fight to you, it doesn't work out very well."
"But if you take the fight to them, you're better off . . . not getting hurt and having more success,"
With a two-ride total of 175 points, Spears outpaced Samora by 12 points and set a new record for the Fort Mohave Classic event.
"I drew good and did what I'm supposed to do which is stay on my bulls," he said. "Everything worked out."
"To win anywhere is great but to do it closer to home and right before you start on the spring rodeos . . . it feels great."
Spears earned $11,146 for the win and with another $658 tossed in for finishing sixth on Friday night, Spears hauled nearly $12,000 in earnings out of Arizona. He vaulted up the standings better than 40 positions to land 15th. He has won $17,282 this season thus far.
In the Xtreme Bulls season standings, Spears is seventh while Knapp is 22nd. Four-time and reigning World Champ J.W. Harris leads the pack.
The next stop on the Xtreme Bulls Division I Tour is the Reno-Tahoe Xtreme Bulls, which kicks off the Reno Rodeo on June 19. All Xtreme Bulls events are televised on MAV-TV.

Game Design and Development
Degree Completion Program
What is a Completion Degree?
A Completion Degree is a personalized version of a Bachelor's degree created exclusively for students who have completed an Associate's degree at an accredited institution. A student who expects to transfer a completed Associate's degree should communicate with a Wilmington University Academic Advisor before registering for courses. A transcript with documentation of the conferred degree must be received by Wilmington University to confirm eligibility. Find out more information about Wilmington University's Degree Completion Programs here
CAP (Community & Academic Partnerships)/Co-op Program
In order to provide relevant work experience, students in the Game Design and Development (GDD) degree program have the option of completing six credit hours via a co-op assignment. The co-op option for GDD is the equivalent of two semester courses, for a total of six credit hours. Students can complete their GDD degree with 120 credit hours, whether they choose the co-op option or not. Because each co-op experience is individually designed, students must inform the Director of the CAP/Co-op program and the GDD Program Chair one semester before they would like to begin a co-op assignment.
The co-op option is an alternative to GMD 401 - Game Development I and GMD 405 - Game Development II. Each co-op assignment is one semester long and normally the two co-op assignments span two consecutive semesters with the same employer. In order to be eligible, students must first have completed GMD 300 - Advanced Game Engines and have at least 60 credits, plus a GPA of 2.5 or higher.
For additional information on the CAP/Co-op program option, please see the website: www.wilmu.edu/coop/

Majestic trees. Exotic wildlife. Rushing rivers and pristine ponds. There's just something magical—and quintessentially American—about our national and state parks.
If you're still deciding on a venue for your wedding—or even your engagement session—it might be worth checking out our national and state parks. From picturesque backdrops to rustic elegance, each park offers an array of unique perks for today's brides and grooms.
And since it's Independence Week, we're also highlighting another wonderful engagement/wedding venue idea: our national monuments and landmarks.
Perk #1: Stunning Backdrops & Photo Ops
Glowing sunsets over horizons, lush greenery and treescapes…there's no denying the amazing backdrops that parks and historic sites can offer. And, depending on the season, you can choose from a variety of palettes—from wintry whites (oh-so-romantic), and autumn hues to earth-tone radiance of spring and summer.
Perk #2: Built-in Decor
Tree slabs, acorn favors…sure, these are adorable to use, but nothing beats the real thing! If you love rustic, natural decor, then a national or state park is perfect for you. With such a wonderland of colors, textures, and beauty all around, you can keep decor (or props, for engagements) to a minimum. And with Mother Nature providing all the decorations, you'll be able to save loads of money (and stress!).
Perk #3: Indoor and Outdoor Options
Whether your'e worried about weather (or getting a friendly visit from a bear), many parks and monuments offer both indoor and outdoor options for the ceremony and reception. (The same holds true for engagement sessions.) Many parks have on-site lodges, complete with dining halls that can be dressed up, or dressed down, to fit your style and taste. If you're heart is set on an outdoor wedding, you can check with the park to see if tents, canopies, or other coverings are allowed on-site.

I have been licensed since the 60's, when I was 14, about the time of the first satellite, Telstar. Since then, it has been interesting to watch the way and manner of communication between people progressing? Then radio was the thing, today.... radio is still the thing, along with light inside glass, otherwise known as fiber optics and the internet. I enjoy both.
Then I worked on a ranch/farm, and wished to be somewhere else, now, I wish I could spend more time with the Reg. Quarterhorses that I raise and train., and build more antennas and radios for folks.
Funny how it is that we are always looking on the other side of the fence.... and seeing greener grass. Almost makes one wonder, "Are we watering the wrong side of the fence?"
I really enjoy contesting, antenna design and test, and dxing. And mostly enjoy helping others by building for those that can't, because of any reason.
And since I live and operate in Wy,a short note about QSL policy is in order. I handle a lot of card requests a year, Please, if you can, send along a SASE, and on your card, note if we Qso'd during what contest on what date/time in Zulu. I like QSL cards, any type, but dislike spending hours looking for a QSO that took seconds to make and less to log in the first place. And it is very likely we worked on cw. So, please qsl with the assurance that I will too.
Maybe we can meet up one day, on the air, maybe Foxhunting, check it out at http://www.qrpfoxhunt.org, or in the next 7QP contest or on the NAQCC Thursday 20m Rocky Mountain Regional/Continental net at 2200z on 14.0625 or up if QRM exists
I enjoy building for folks, and thoroughly enjoy helping those that can't do SMD easily.
take care, and 72,

National Donut Day · see all
National Donut Day · see all
First a few important rules:
Do not friend me without talking to me first! I do not care if you fan me, send me stuff, or say "add me babe xxx" in your request - I'm still not going to be your friend until we've had some sort of conversation. I do not collect trophy friends.
Trying to get my Facebook details, e-mail address, or instant messenger handle within 2 minutes of talking to me will make me assume you're a spammer or scammer. We need to be friends here before we can be friends elsewhere.
I do not do lounges or fuMafia. At all. Period. Been there, done that with chat rooms back in the 90s and if I wanted to play Mafia Wars I'd do it on Facebook.
Do not complain because I talked to your girlfriend or bought someone from you in fuOwned. If you are in an exclusive relationship then it's up to the two of you to use your settings appropriately to enforce it.
Do not bug me to comment on or rate things for you. I especially never forward chain-letter type comments and will delete them if I find any on my page.
I will not buy you a bling pack to see your NSFW pictures, pay to join your private "model" site, or send money by Western Union because you're trapped in West Africa. If you're looking to scam $$$ out of me then forget it.
OK, rant over...
Pretty decent sort of bloke, a bit shy but that's nothing a drink or two and a little patience won't fix. Good listener, kind, the sort of guy who will be there for you.
Still enjoy going out - who says you have to be under 25 to hit the dance floor?! - but quite happy to stay in and curl up on the sofa too. Always up for seeing new places and trying news things. Would love to travel more if only I had some company.
Ready to settle down if Ms Right comes along but perfectly happy to go on some dates and make some friends until then.
Should probably get it out there that I don't drive, so if you're after a man with a flash motor or you live out in the middle of nowhere away from public transport then we might have problems.
Otherwise happy to talk to anyone and everyone. You never know what's around the corner.

College Hockey:Wisconsin's Eaves Reprimanded for Incident
Run-In Turned Physical, Leavitt Claims
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves was reprimanded by the school for physical contact against one of his players, two newspapers have reported.
It's been reported Eaves had a run-in with Badgers sophomore forward Alex Leavitt, a 19-year-old from Edmonton, Alberta, at the team's hotel after a loss at North Dakota on Nov. 23. In Thursday's editions of the Wisconsin State Journal and The Capital Times, Leavitt contends the first-year coach became abusive and pushed him.
The newspapers reported that the Wisconsin athletics department issued Eaves a letter of reprimand that will stay in his personnel file.
Leavitt originally took blame for the incident, and agreed to keep the matter private. But he spoke out this week, saying he doesn't want to take blame "while I'm being pushed out the door," he told The Capital Times
Leavitt has been a healthy scratch for the last three games. The team has said it was a disciplinary measure for a late penalty in a Feb. 7 win over Alaska-Anchorage, and for questioning the decision to remove him from the lineup.
"The reason that doesn't make any sense is I don't care about playing for [Eaves]," Leavitt told The Capital Times. "I don't care if I play another game this season. I was having difficulty playing. I wasn't comfortable playing. So playing was sometimes the last thing I wanted to do. Ice time was not a factor; it's that I was isolated from the team and get a negative feeling from being on the team."
Leavitt told the newspapers he wouldn't quit the team this season. Reports claimed Eaves offered Leavitt a spot in the lineup for Friday night's home game against St. Cloud State, but Leavitt declined.
In regard to the incident, Eaves told the newspapers Leavitt had broken a team rule; Leavitt denied it. In an interview with The Capital Times, Leavitt claimed:
Eaves admitted an error.
"Obviously, it's wrong. And I admitted that in that incident," he told The Capital Times. "That was part of our meeting. It was wrong. There's a letter of reprimand in my file, and that's duly documented. We know that."
The school released statements from Eaves and athletics director Pat Richter on Thursday afternoon:
Eaves said: "After our game vs. North Dakota on Nov. 23, 2002, Alex Leavitt and I had a confrontation at the team hotel. Upon returning to Madison, I met with the Leavitt family, their representatives and athletic department administrators. I apologized for my actions at North Dakota. We met and left with a mutual understanding of what was expected of me, and I have fulfilled all of those requirements. I regret the incident at UND and feel we have put it in the past and established a plan for the future."
Richter said: "Shortly after the confrontation, athletic department administrators, including myself, met with coach Eaves, the Leavitt family and their representative. We had open and candid conversations and reached an understanding of the next steps to be taken. Mike has totally adhered to the requests that were approved by all parties. Understandably, this has been a difficult season for the men's hockey team, but I have complete confidence that Mike is the right coach for this program."
The Badgers are in the middle of one of the worst seasons in their modern era, which dates to 1963. At 10-19-3 and 4-15-3 in the WCHA, they may set the school record for fewest overall wins in a season in which they played a full Division I schedule (the record is 12). With six regular-season games left, they'll finish with the fewest league wins on record (the record is 11).
Leavitt's father, John, told the Wisconsin State Journal the school originally offered guarantees to keep the matter private. They included anger-management sessions for Eaves and no "vindictiveness" toward Leavitt from the coach.
This is the second known case this season of a coach being disciplined for physical contact with a player. Clarkson coach Mark Morris was fired in November after an investigation into a confrontation with a player.
Morris has since filed a lawsuit against the school, seeking $10 million in damages for lost future earnings, $1 million in damages for breach of contract and to be reinstated as coach.

The viewer closed with no errors. I also tried changing the encoding in the viewer's settings (from raw to hextile, and from no-8-bits to 8-bits) while that initial message was visible, and again got no errors. Also tried resizing the viewer's window while that message was visible, and again no errors. Tried starting the viewer with Netscape 3 running, and got no errors (see below). - On the same machine where the server is running (i.e. in a loopback connection), the viewer got hung quite often, with the initial message displayed. This happened almost every time I tried to start the viewer with Netscape running, and never happened without Netscape running. With Netscape running, it did never happen if I requested 8 bit pixels in the viewer's options. This might point to some memory conflict between the viewer and Netscape, since the restriction to 8 bits must cause the viewer to allocate less memory. It shouldn't be a problem of lack of RAM in the computer, because the machine has 128 MB RAM and almost never swaps anything to disk. Note that in this latter machine I'm using a preview release of Netscape 4.5, and therefore the bug might well be in Netscape (and in Windows, that lets the two programs interfere with each other). I'm not complaining about vnc at all. I'm mentioning these results only because they may give some further information regarding this issue of the viewer getting hung. Regards, Luis -- Luis B.

For the past several months, HIGH TIMES has been providing extensive coverage on GW Pharmaceuticals' popular cannabis-based drug called Sativex, which in addition to being recognized for years in some countries as a treatment option for multiple sclerosis, it is also the first cannabis-based drug to ever be clinically tested as a combatant against brain cancer.
Cannabis purists often take issue with this highly publicized drug, as many have concerns over Big Pharma getting their greedy hands in anything associated with marijuana. Yet, for those seriously ill patients living in countries where medical marijuana is not available -- not legal -- Sativex has become salvation's wings for some of them; unfortunately, mostly the rich.
A disturbing report released this week by Leaf Science indicates that while Sativex has been approved for use in New Zealand, where medical marijuana is currently banned, very few patients are actually able to get prescriptions filled because of the astronomical price tag associated with the drug -- about $20,200 per year.
What's more is Sativex patients are required to cover all of the costs, because the drug is not currently supported by Pharmac, the New Zealand Crown Agency responsible for determining which medications are used in community and public hospitals, according to the agency's website.
Sadly, while a number of patients report Sativex works for them, most admit to being reduced to scouring the streets for cheaper alternatives for which to self medicate.
"They don't really want people to do the right thing. They don't really want people to have safe medicine,' said Sativex approved patient Billy McKee, who uses marijuana to relive chronic pain since having his leg amputated in a car accident 30 years ago.
Here in the United States, Satixex is on the verge of receiving approval by the FDA. Earlier this month, reports speculated that GW Pharmaceutics was in its final stages of clinical trials, which could put the drug on the American market in the not so distant future -- but at what cost?
In the end, the real question is how much more blood does Uncle Sam feel obligated to squeeze from jugulars of the sick before giving them the legal right to choose between the high costs associated with Big Pharma and smoking marijuana?

A Nightmare Dungeon DPS Build
by Kourgath
This is a DPS build put together by Kourgath, one of our guild mates in Ohana. He has used this build in nightmare dungeons an I have seen him running this in elites. The build features assault rifle and pistol, providing a lot of versatility when needed. It's a solid build that should provide some good DPS to your team.
Active Abilities
- the business
- start & finish
- three round burst
- red mist
- suppressing fire
- deadly aim
- confuse
Passive Abilities
- iron maiden
- live wire
- punishment
- twist the knife
- one in the chamber
- sudden return
- mad skills
Key Features
instant builder with multiple hits for generally high dps just from building. group members will usually have affliction and weakeness up on the bosses which means you have slots available to exploit those states. basically giving you an extra 10% pen, 150 crit power 150 crit rating, and extra damage on crits and pens. [Note from Ry - as Kourgath mentions, these states SHOULD be present, but you need to confirm this at the start of the run.]
- the business x5
- start & finish
- three round burst
- deadly aim and red mist as cd's permit
Gearing Needs
this build is built to compensate for lower crit and pen rates as most dps gear will be glyphed for hit.
Viper's Deck Manager
If you are using Viper's Deck Manager, cut and paste the above code and use it to import this build. If you want to check out the wheel locations, here is the build using Drakashi's deck manager.

Special to The Gazette
Amy King can name the parts of her 4-H pygmy goat without any trouble.
The 12-year-old also can cite the animal's gestation period and list medications that stop its diseases.
King's knowledge and skills in the show ring at the Medina County Fair recently earned her the 4-H Premier Exhibitor Award for pygmy goats. Amy, of Wadsworth Township, joined seven others honored for achieving the top combined scores for their livestock skillathons, project judgings and showmanship competitions.
The Junior Fair's 4-H Premier Exhibitor Award's other winners were: Justin Packard, beef; Anna Wolff, dairy; Cody Walther, dairy beef; Anna Steidl, dairy goat; Faith Stidham, poultry; Mary Oglesbee, rabbit; and Clayton Boyert, sheep and swine.
Ohio State University Extension coordinates the county's 4-H youth development program for more than 1,300 youth. Club members gain life skills while exploring different topics, from livestock care to rockets to cake decorating, in hands-on activities and project work.
Extension 4-H Committee members, who help coordinate the junior fair's shows and events, presented the new awards at the livestock sale. The winners received banners and priority in the sale order at the auction.
"We're more about raising kids, than animals," said Bill Harris, the county extension educator of 4-H youth development. "It's about paying attention to the accomplishments of the exhibitor.
"The member has to be good at selecting the animal and raising it," he said. "The award also allows the individual to study and work hard and have the opportunity to show a well-rounded project. It's the best of the best."
The 4-H members demonstrated excellence in three livestock areas, including skillathons, project judgings and showmanship classes. The skillathons provide hands-on activities that test a 4-H member's knowledge. For instance, livestock owners might label the sections of a cow's digestive system or figure the nutritional value of feed samples.
Cody Walther, 13, often quizzed himself to prepare for the skillathon. "I studied the parts of the steer, the types of beef and correct structure of the legs," said Cody, who lives in Chatham Township.
The livestock judgings reward placement ribbons based on an animal's muscle and bone structure, growth and weight.
"You have to provide the animal with the nutrients to grow well, clean the stall and provide fresh water. I like raising the animals and having them since a few days old," said Cody, who belongs to the Achin' Saddle Cinchers 4-H Club.
Showmanship classes determine how 4-H members handle their animals in the arena. The youth work to groom and display the animal's best features. Some judges also will test an owner's knowledge.
Amy likes knowing her hard work has paid off after sharing her knowledge with the showmanship judge. She cares for her three pygmy goats year-round, from recording feed purchases to trimming hooves.
"You have to study and know all your goat's body parts and trim up your goat so it looks the best," said Amy, who is a member of the Guilford Go-fers 4-H Club.
"I believe it gives you a sense of character, taking care of your animals," she said. "It gives you responsibility, learning love and respect toward animals."

About a year and half ago, I was given the opportunity to work with J.J. Abrams to create the intro graphics for the Fox show Fringe which I mentioned on the blog.
Now this season, the producers wanted to flash-back to 1985 for one episode and asked if I would be interested in recreating a title sequence to match the era. I thought to my self, "Radical!"
They wanted to include science concepts that would have seemed cutting-edge at the time, such as "Personal Computing" and "Stealth Technology", and it was my job was to make it look like Atari!
I did some youtube research and began building the retro sequence in After Effects. It was a very fun project that included some strange challenges as well. The way video was produced at the time was quite different and I didn't want to do anything that seemed too modern.
One thing that I tried to avoid was using Easy-Ease keyframes to keep the animation more mechanical. I also used a font that implied "High-Tech" called CyFy. The text overlays were also stylized to match the Chyron process used to composite text on video.
Hat's off to Charles for creating the 1980 version of the music too.
Watch original title sequence, followed by the 1985 version:
Watch Now
Now those seasoned folks, please feel free to share you stories of actually using the technology from the 1980s…
been searching tutorials to get a retro look for awhile now
Rad site!
Just wanna say I finally saw this episode of Fringe with the retro titles. Awesome stuff! I cracked up!
Did you do anything else in the show besides the opening titles and the building composite?
You're doing a killer job!
I loved the star trek main title very well done! I haven't watched fringe but i will now. Next time you see J.J tell him thanks for making such great cinema. ;)
hahahahaha so good!
Well done!
Thank you so much from Uruguay
Never stop doing what you love!
Keep up the great work; I've learned so much from you.
I saw the movie without reading and I thought you did a remake of the old version instead of the other way around.
You really had me going there, great work!!!
WiGeTS from the Netherlands
greetz Maniac221 (Manuel Germany)
I could say more on how much I loved it and how great your skills are BUT it is prolly bee said and you probably won't read down this far anyway so instead of telling you again of your greatness I will just give you a gratifying head nod so that you know you did a good job and not make you read a long a pointless post.
Keep it up, we appreciate all you do.
I just loved that retro "Tron-Atari" feel, and the interesting synchronicity was that I was watching "Fringe" and the opening title sequence reminded me that I haven't visited this site in a while, and so I paused the show, came here and low and behold, you do this "radical" move!
Don't stop inspiring us man! And count me in when you decide to make your opus, I think you don't realize that you've been assembling (and teaching) a digital army that will contribute to help you make that big project you've been holding back on. Or maybe that's been your plan all along?
You have my axe sir,
That really moved me to 80's. I remember my first computer Commodore 64 and all it's great games. The original C64 game box had same kind retro hand drawn sci-fi graphics and the typography were also familiar.
Who used the grid space first time? was it in Tron? or was it in some where before that?
Excelent idea! Andrew, you nailed that retro feeling.
Can't wait to see that episode.
For the real "youngsters" that have posted here, back in 1985/86 a small Seattle company called Silicon Beach had offered an application called Super Paint, and another called Digital Darkroom-these would eventually become Photoshop-but in 1985 they were still only BLACK AND WHITE.
Also in Seattle, this place called Adobe was making scaleable vector typefaces, but had yet to market their graphical Postscript editor as Illustrator. Aldus had put out Pagemaker version 1.0, but almost no one could afford a Mac powerful enough to run it.
Premiere actually came out in 1990/91 or so. I remember being here at Macshow in Houston when they announced it, following Quicktime's boast of supporting a full quarter screen image. Same year they showed us Alias 3D for the Macs.
I think After Effects came about a few years after that. I remember playing with the Compositor in Alias Wavefront before I got the chance to use After Effects.
Hard to believe how primitive some of that stuff was, and yet we thought we had the world by the tail. -R
And Bermuda shorts.. that I didn't get until they were out of style and cheap.
wasn't much of AE user back then...
ti ti ti..love this 80's synths...
The music, the animation, everything!
I'd love to have a quick rundown of the techniques you used for the video artifacts.
- Derrick
What a brilliant performance Andrew Kramer..!
We've got many thing from you about Adobe After Effect..
That how to be creative or how to make something really awesome & realistic on "Adobe After Effect"..
About Text, Light, Expression & Camera & it was really appreciated or it will be really appreciate or its appreciate able..!
Can you please do something i mean you can but i think that now its time to make something on "3D Studio Max" that must be about the broadcast media animation & i think now we have to came out from the text animation coz we've learnt about it lot of the thing..
When you & your outstanding Team started "Video Copilot" as a free lance animation teacher for those who always try to make something special & who always try to learn something special that could be helpful for their work or for their projects & i'm pretty sure that you've made your goal & have completed your aim to involving in our breathe..!
I also know it that many time you've told us that its easy to create something cool on "Adobe After Effect" as "3D Studio Max" coz it takes lot of time to render or to preview that what the thing you're doing & sometimes it becomes a waste of the time when you really need to do in urgent..!
You've opened many thing on us & that is really helpful to know that how to be creative or how could we make some cool thing through "Adobe After Effect" but this time i would like to see something about "3D Studio Max" coz you better know that here is also a big fans of "3D Studio Max" who also want to know or want to see something special about "3D Studio Max" not about the character animation but about the media or broadcast animation..
Will Hope that in the next of coming tutorials we would seen something related to "3D Studio Max"..
its awesome!
Link to a History Museum run by Steven Frank about the Beagle Brothers™ company http://stevenf.com/beagle/contents.html
A lot has changed since then.
Well - until I saw your post and finnnaly made the connection to the episode!
Talk about being slow! Loved the way that the music took a trip back too.
its just Outstanding !!
Also, did you know JJ always talks you up real well in his commentaries. Both on Star Trek and the pilot episode of Fringe.
I used to create "HiRes" graphics on the Commodore 64 with a joystick. I'm glad technology advances.
But the he font looks a little outdated by 1980's standards. Cyfy looks like Amelia, which was a 70's style computer font.
Here is 70s style computer font in the magazine Avant Garde.
Will the 80s rolled around hi-tech had a different look. I would have referenced April Greimen (http://typophile.com/files/Fugs_5756.jpg or early Emigre fonts.
As a side note, did you ever watch Misfits of Science in the 80's. I would call it a comedic precursor to the X-files and Fringe. I included the link just for fun...
The colour-bleeding was done by having a "Hue" transfer mode version over top of a B&W version of the same clip. I then wiggled both the opacity and a horizontal blur on the "Hue" transfer mode layer.
I remember a while back, Harry J. Frank over at Gray Machine did a tutorial on retro-style graphics. Might be handy for anyone who wants to try this themselves.
thanks alot
You are The master Andrew!!
the sensation that transmit is great, THE RETRO LOOK IS FANTASTIC, MOST OF ALL FOR THE GOOD WORK IN THE "old tv transmission effect", the blur, the changes in the fps rate, great!!!
Please make a tutorial about this!, it's just fantastic
The retro sequence reminded me of an old UK TV 70's series called "The Tomorrow People" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xez4o1ujOPI
and another called "Timeslip" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xez4o1ujOPI
q- how long does it take you for research and what deadline did they give you? 2 weeks? 2 days?
The first flash light looks like Brazil map (or Africa as u said before)
the intro is amazing and if you made a tutorial on how to do either the retro or modern one I'd be ecstatic.
-The Zanman.
I don´t know that the "Fringe" Intro was made by you :)
Excellent !
You are the After Effects GOD !
PS: sry about my english - i am from germany :)
It's awesome, congratulations.
I think you're lake the peopple who are in the films supervising the special effects!
Really funny and so well done man, could totally buy that as a show title of the time (albeit a damn good one for back then). Reminded me of Tomorrow's World, Doctor Who and the early X-Files title sequences.
Actually it really interests me to hear from you how you've created the Chyron process effect...
Please, we would like to see a tutorial of that kind of graphics ¡¡¡¡¡¡
Thank you
I want you to tutorial of the word that comes out of the water, and water dripping them
Thank you very much
*I am from Hong Kong, student of HKDI, please accept my poor english
Regardless, you're doing tremendous work. I found this site via Reddit, and I'm glad I did!
Yes, that's it. but here is the link Kramer put at the end of the blog post.
it has the original, followed by the 1985 one.
I think it's time for me to buy some Optical Flares!
Could it be possible for you to make a tutorial similar to this kind of video. Like where one scene is in continuation with the next but isn't nearly a part of the next.
Or could someone direct to a place where i can find this.
Anyone who wants to learn how to play the music theme to the Fringe intro, I made a video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp0fMA5ssC4
I'd love for you to make a breakdown of these 2 introes.
Combined with the pokey synth title music, it's a winner!
awesome stuff u do.
Only criticism is that although the graphics and music emulate the era well, the overall graphics are too "clean" and "modern". It needs to be a bit softer and less perfect.
I bet it would be more difficult to re create an 80's Sci Fi intro by using the same techniques back then than emulating it using modern technologies.
nota 1000
the realism you added in the movie we cannot compare with the original..
really really nice!
f'ck Andrew HAHA' ^^
you are my hero, mister! ;D
& We are waiting the tutorial
Thanks Andrew K.
There are only two big "but"s I need to constructively criticize:
1) It doesn't _really_ lok 80's, only what we today think the 80's look like (see DVNO for more information on that subject). Of course, due to both the freedom of better technology and the constraints of creating something that is appealing for today's audience, it's hard to make something look convincingly period.
2) This is the bad one that's really bothering me: why does the 80's hand have five fingers? Where's the sixth?! The point of these images in Fringe is to be weird and now you've used a boring old regular hand.
But still, I have to say that you did a truly great job on those retro titles. Well done!
PS: What is that font at the end ("Created By...")? Verdana? Didn't that come out in 1996?
1st follow tutorial 95. scene Re Lighting to make your floting bubble.
2nd follow tutorial 89 to make your fringe 3d text or tutorial 47 in C4D.
Find textures from the roit gear for BG and dark ink flowt/watch the intro over and over,use trapcode or cc particle world to create the dark particles + your fav text + OPTICAL FLARES. Andrew gave us all the clues all you have to do is find them:)
Congrats, it was also one of the best episode of the show.... God bless JJ Abrams & AK !!
but the final title looks to modern &shiny... and i would change the font somehow, but the trailer is great :-)
lol, Andrew like in the new Fringe title you was asked if that was your hand, obviously it was'nt as you didnt have 5 fingers :) ..... But in the 1985 version... Is that your hand?
Nice work, well thought out as usual.
All the best
Dave :)
I see 'Wiggle' too haha, nice!
yes, i thought people might get it wrong. i was just amazed by the fact that someone started with a simple website, and now does such "palpable" stuff... just that.
You forgot to drop the motion blur ;) Otherwise, Perfecion :)
In vitro fertilization will destroy us all. Four fingers on a hand [what a monster!] I'm glad I can watch these evil inhuman discoveries all from the safe distance of degrading video tape. Thank you Andrew.
Anyway the whole episode was amazing. Flashback to Walter's times was well executed.
When I saw retro title I was pretty sure that it will be something from the past.
Well done !
Very well done Andrew... :)
and the music is just awesome!
raely realy Awesome
BBC comedy show Look Around You did something similar a while back - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCWA7uevo_Q - worth a look. Graymachine had a cool article some time ago on the 1983 HBO intro, also worth checking out.
-Dan Graves
Your colleagues are very lucky to have you as friend!!!
Gianni (from Italy)
tears and nostalgia
But I was wondering whether you did this intro in several languages or someone else did? Because in Germany there are the german translations used as well as an subtitle at the very end.
did you use the Fringe-Title-Break where it develops out of little pieces in the blog-show intro too? Looks just A-MAZE-ING! Greetings from Austria
keep it up supporter
but once video is modern :D .
very PARTICULAR.
In 1984 I was 13 years old and if I remember correctly we didn´t have technology back then :)
1) i love u
2) it's very cool
3) but too much wiggle(shake at end title)
regards :)
If you wanted to go deep-80 retro, you just needed video of each of the main characters and then the amusing 'freeze-frame' character title slate. (Of course, Walter generating a cheesy lightning effect in his laboratory would've been sweet!)
Judging on how fast you work in your tutorials i'd say like 10 min.
And the sound nobody say it's really '80 wow !!
Awesome as usual, Mr K!
Great work again. I really appreciate this site and all of your work. I hope to get into the creative track of an advertising program (and eventually do visual work on either ads or films) and I feel the resources you provide are putting me ahead.
It seems you've found a way to keep things fun and interesting while laying down a solid career. I look up to your level of skill and apparent professionalism. If you have any advice, I'd be happy to hear it!
Good work; especially the new hand overlaying the skeletal hand. Well done!
Really fits in with the time period and its great :]
Well done! :D
And Charles, nice work. If the tempo was up about 50 bpm, I would have expected to hear,
"Knight Rider - A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist...
Michael Knight, A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law."
Nice. I bet that was a blast!
and Painter
At the time, the computers we had in our school, which I believe were Radio Shack TRS-80's Model 3 & 4, had a whopping 8K and 16K of RAM respectively.
Dang I feel old.
P.S. how much time you spent?
Well done. That's one of my flaws is when I have to tackle something outside of my element, like making something seem as though it came from the eighties, I always fight so hard to not make any modern type of additions to it. It's hard, for me at least, to just detach and make something for what it's supposed to be and not what I'm capable of. If that makes any sense.
Very good job.
Maybe JJ Adams is involved or knows something about people who are watching us...from above...
Just saying...
Great work, stylistically I think i prefer the retro version
Sorry if I've given the game away in some way, haha
Just noticed something on the original intro (the non-1985 one), as the "SUSPENDED ANIMATION" slide transitions to the "DARK MATTER" slide, for a frame or two, text saying "OBSERVERS ARE HERE" appears.
Just wondering, your own personal touch or did Abrams want you to put that in? (Subliminal Message maybe?)
"Two thumbs up" (like in the old days)
Any news on that idea for a second Riot Gear????
frankly that just blew my mind
a tutorial on how to make that liquid thingy at the start and the smoke that come around it and hw u have made the Fringe text come together would be soo great.
Once a again brilliant Andrew just dazzling.
Now I'm 37, Editing video with AE & Pr , sitting with my CDJ-1000 behind me playing mp3's I downloaded from Beatport.
Having a PS3 with 5.1 Surround and cinema chairs on a LCD TV. Even with all this technology, the feeling is still the same, just more advanced.
Pardon me if this has already been suggested.
A new Videocopilot t-shirt:
...or maybe just the first line
...its a work in progress
The original is amazing and the retro intro you did blew my mind lol It's pretty cool!!
What do you mean Crappy? This is one of the best AE sites around but YES, he made the original intro and the title credits for the new star trek as well... He does a lot of professional work but for some reason doesn't talk about it that much on the blog.
Great stuff Andrew! Thanks for everything!
...or is it?
well, not crappy anymore! nice too see all your work has paid off. dont get me wrong, i think you've done a great job so far, but this is something so much more palpable... i'm dazed... :S
great work as usual, keep up andrew!
