STANFORD, Calif. - Rarely do the top-ranked teams in the country have an early-season showdown, but that's the case Friday night at Maples Pavilion, when the No. 2 Stanford women's volleyball team hosts No. 1 Penn State in what has developed into a riveting rivalry.
Each school owns six national championships, the Nittany Lions pulling even last year after edging Stanford in the Lexington Regional after an epic five-set match. Both coaches – John Dunning of Stanford and Russ Rose of Penn State -- are AVCA Hall of Famers and boast winning percentages of more than .800.
Neither likes losing.
"Back in the '80s and '90s, Stanford had a lot of success and Penn State was building on the East Coast," said Dunning, now in his 29th season of coaching and 14th on The Farm. "And they didn't venture out very much. Then in the '90s, Penn State and Stanford had some great matches in the Final Four, and I think that kind of ignited it."
The Cardinal claimed NCAA titles in 1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, 2001 and 2004. Rose, now in his 36th year of coaching, has led Penn State to crowns in 1999, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2013. The Nittany Lions lead the overall series, 8-7.
"I just like for my team to play Russ's team," Dunning said. "Clearly, there is mutual respect. They're always tough; it doesn't matter who they have on their team."
There have been many memorable matches. In 1997, the Cardinal prevailed in a five-set thriller. After losing the first two sets, Penn State won the next two, capped by a 44-minute fourth set that featured 58 sideouts. Stanford won the deciding set, 15-9.
In 1999, the schools met in the NCAA title match in Honolulu, Hawaii, with the Nittany Lions capturing their first championship. The NCAA title was also on the line in 2007 in Sacramento, where Stanford rallied from two-sets down to force a fifth set. Penn State regrouped for a 15-8 win.
Last year's see-saw regional in Kentucky saw the Nittany Lions snap Stanford's 12-match winning streak, 22-25, 25-22, 28-26, 18-25 and 15-11.
"We played a very courageous match and had a chance to win," said Dunning. "We had about a three-minute span in Game 5 when we gave the lead up and it was hard to fight back. They went on to win and I think we had a great chance to win the Final Four, too."
Junior setter Madi Bugg had 54 assists, 12 digs and five blocks.
"If we were going to lose, that's how I would want to lose," she said. "It's just fuel for the fire and more reason to want to beat Penn State. It was high intensity the whole time and we know it's going to be the same way this time."
Junior outside hitter Jordan Burgess contributed 17 kills.
"Every single year that we have played Penn State, we know they're going to come fired up and play their very best,'' said Burgess. "So you know it's going to be not only a fight but really good volleyball at the same time. It's a cool experience to be a part of."
Stanford enters Friday's match 2-0, having won road matches at Iowa State and then-No. 7 Nebraska. Penn State is 3-0, but hasn't played a ranked opponent. Not that Dunning is taking them lightly.
"No. 1, they believe in themselves," he said. "They graduated a bunch of people who were very important to last year's team and reloaded with a bunch of good people. You have to convince them somewhere along the line they shouldn't believe if you're going to get any chinks in the armor. The cornerstone of their foundation is being competitive. Teams that really compete … they're going to look through the net at you and you better be able to look back."
Added Bugg, "Penn State works really hard on defense. They're a scrappy team and balls do not hit the floor without four people sprinting after them."
Their outside hitters often take long approaches to the net and swing their hands high.
"You know every ball is going to have someone wailing on it," said Burgess, a human biology major who plans to become a doctor and is interested in neuro science.
While Stanford isn't afraid to wail back, Bugg said there is a distinct contrast in styles.
"I think we are a rhythm team," she said. "A tempo type of offense. We both do the same things but we're better at different things."
Bugg, who is majoring in political science but thinks she is destined to become a coach, knows the Nittany Lions have a young team but expects a fearless effort.
"Freshmen play on pure adrenaline and that is hard to combat," said Bugg.
With two seniors and five juniors on his squad, Dunning has experience, talent and leadership. He insisted revenge will not be a factor Friday night.
"I don't think our team plays to get back at someone," said Dunning. "When you know they're good, you respect them. They're going to make us play well. And if we want to win, we have to play better."
Not that he hasn't reflected about last year's loss.
"Did that motivate me, our staff and our team in particular to be better in the moment?" he said. "Absolutely no question."
Dunning hasn't shied away from talking to his players about the ultimate prize: a seventh national title.
"I believe that all of the teams here at Stanford have that underlying feeling," Dunning said. "People wouldn't come here if they weren't striving to be the best."
In fact, his players feed off it and noted their coach seems more driven than ever.
"We normally go on fun trips during the preseason to do fun team-bonding things," said Bugg. "This year, we're nixing it and getting down to business."
Playing Penn State will be a barometer and a potential springboard for the season.
"We are no longer a young team," said Bugg. "We know what it takes and where we should be. It's all about growing and figuring out what we can get better at and then going to practice the next day and doing it. This match will also be a chance for us to work on what we've been doing in pressure situations and get used to playing in front of a lot of people."
Dunning recognizes this team has big potential and he wants his players to make the most of it.
"They are fun-loving, tight-knit and good at what they do," he said. "They are competitive and they want to keep getting better. I believe this team can stay motivated the whole way through, no matter what happens."
And they can't wait to walk out on the newly-refurbished floor at Maples Pavilion on Friday night to see where they stack up.
"Tons of people we know are coming to see us play this match," said Burgress. "It will just be a blast for everyone."

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Outdoor Stage production of Molière's comedy The Learned Ladies brings theatre alive under the stars at the enormously popular summer venue on the campus of the College of Saint Elizabeth in Morris Township. This replica of an ancient Greek theatre nestled into the hillside of the bucolic campus offers a unique theatrical event. The Learned Ladies begins on June 18th and continues through July 27th.
Performances are Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., Sundays at 7:30 p.m., and a special twilight performance on Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for students and $35 for adults. Children under age five go for free. For tickets or more information, call 973-408-5600 or visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org. Groups of 10 or more are eligible for group discounts.
The large lawn surrounding the amphitheater is ideal for picnicking. Audience members may bring their own food and beverages, or purchase snacks and soft drinks on-site. Patrons are encouraged to bring low-backed beach chairs into the amphitheatre. Stadium seats are available for rental for $3.00 while supplies last. Seating is general admission.
Molière's satirical masterpiece follows the trials of the young couple Henriette and Clitandre while Henriette's female relations voice their high-brow disapproval. These women fancy themselves culturally "learned" and are great patrons of the pseudo-scholarly Trissotin, a poet with lofty aspirations which include receiving Henriette's hand in marriage. The bourgeois family's conflict provides the comic foundation for Molière's signature farce. As Henriette's father Chrysale wearily exclaims, "Is there a stranger house in Christendom/Than mine, where women are as mad as hatters/And everything is known except what matters?"
Molière's exceptional wit is on full display in this fun farce, filled with frolicking, flirting, and flaunting. Pulitzer Prize-winning American scholar and poet Richard Wilbur translated the work. The New York Times praised Wilbur's skill when Roundabout Theatre Company revived his translation of The Learned Ladies in 1982, "Molière has had no better American friend than…Richard Wilbur, whose translations…are beautiful works of art in themselves."
The first preview performance of The Learned Ladies on Wednesday, June 18th at 8:00 p.m. offers opportunities for reduced-price tickets, as an incentive to first-time theatergoers. For those who would otherwise not be able to afford a night at the theatre, the first preview performance is Pay What You Can night – pay what you are able for that evening's 8:00 p.m. preview performance. Offer is subject to availability. Call the Box Office at 973-408-5600 for details.
Performances are Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., Sundays at 7:30 p.m., and a special twilight performance on Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for students and $35 for adults. Children under five go free. Seating is general admission. For tickets or more information, call the Box Office at 973-408-5600 or visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org.

Gateshead 4 - 1 Sunderland XI
Gateshead scored twice in each half to secure a comfortable win over a youthful Sunderland side at a saturated International Stadium today.
Three of the Tynesiders goals came from trialists, including strikers Darren Forsyth and Tomi Ameobi, younger brother of Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi.
Central defender Simon Ainge, 21, who made 18 appearances for Bradford City, including six Football League starts, was also on target along with Alex Francis.
Martin Brittain, operating on each flank, had a fine game along with Francis who became increasingly influential as the game wore on.
Neither Jim Provett or Paul Farman had much to do in the Gateshead goal against a Sunderland side without first team experience.
The early exchanges lacked the intensity of last week's warm up game against Huddersfield Town though Provett had to save one handed from Robbie Weir.
Good work from Phil Turnbull saw his trademark step-overs bamboozle the Wearsiders defence to create the 18th minute opener for Ainge.
Turnbull eased past two defenders on the left side of the box to chip invitingly towards the back post where Ainge headed into the roof of the net.
The Black Cats were level five minutes later when David Dowson went past Ainge to deliver a low cross that saw Liam O'Mahoney tap home.
Ainge was involved in Gateshead's second goal when his driven ball out of defence was missed by Steven Richardson and his marker.
Forsyth, who had flown in from Dublin earlier in the day to begin his trial period at Gateshead, raced clear to calmly round Cats keeper Michael Misiewicz.
The 21 year old snatched at another chance from outside the box and was replaced by fellow trialist Ameobi for the second half - one of five substitutions made during the break.
A torrential downpour had left parts of the pitch waterlogged in the second half as play became a lottery.
Gateshead however wrapped up victory with two goals in two minutes on the hour after Sunderland defender Joe Cornforth had prevented Ameobi from homing in on goal with an arm pull.
Former Magpies, Francis and Brittain, were involved in a superb third goal after Brittain found Francis with a ball infield and then picked up the reverse pass.
Checking on to his right foot Brittain's cross was then volleyed home first time by Francis from 16 yards, and it was Francis who then set up the fourth.
The midfielders quickly taken free kick saw Ameobi slot the ball past the exposed Misiewicz and the front man had two further efforts, both set up by Jamie Harwood.
Gateshead now move on to Durham City on Tuesday where captain Kris Gate and wide man Wayne Phillips should return while defender Chris Swailes is close to fitness.
Forsyth, Ameobi and Ainge are expected to continue their trial period but manager Ian Bogie is now resigned to missing out on top target Paul Connor.
"It looks like Connor is going to sign for Lincoln City," said Bogie "but both Ameobi and Forsyth scored against Sunderland and will get another chance to impress at Durham.
"It was disappointing that Sunderland didn't send a stronger side but you can only play what's in front of you and it was another good performance."
Gateshead: Provett (Farman 61), Baxter, Robinson (Cave 45), Francis, Curtis (Jones 45), Ainge, Brittain, Turnbull, Forsyth (Ameobi 45), Richardson (Armstrong 45), Taylforth (Harwood 45)
Referee: Billy Khatib (Sunderland)

GENERIC NAME: cephalexin
BRAND NAME: Keflex
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Cephalexin belongs to a class of antibiotics called cephalosporins. They are similar to penicillin in action and side effects. They stop or slow the growth of bacterial cells by preventing bacteria from forming the cell wall that surrounds each cell. The cell wall protects bacteria from the external environment and keeps the contents of the cell together, and without a cell wall, bacteria are not able to survive. Bacteria that are susceptible to cephalexin include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, E. coli and several others. Cephalexin was approved by the FDA in January 1971.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Cephalexin is used to treat infections caused by bacteria that are susceptible to the effects of cephalexin. Common infections that are treated with cephalexin include infections of the middle ear (otitis medica), tonsils, throat, larynx (laryngitis), bronchi (bronchitis), and pneumonia. It also is used for treating urinary tract, skin, and bone infections.

My 7 year old son was found with his hand in a 2 year old girl diaper by the mother of the 2 year old. She freaked out on my son and kicked him out of her home. The mother is extremely upset, which is understandable but I'm not as upset with the situation. I spoke to my son, who now understands that it was wrong to do what he did. He told us that he did it because he wanted to know the difference between girls and boys.
Is there anything else that we should do at this point besides, reinforcing that other people's private parts are private?
A worried mom
Morningstar, I've been in a situation with the whole sexual curiosity thing with my own kids, except they were the ones someone else was curious about. It's never fun and I was devastated when it happened. I recommend making sure your son is comfortable talking to you about body parts and sex and all of that. If he's 7 he probably already has an idea about sex. That may sound young but my son had ideas and questions about it at 5. You have to give them the information or they will go and find it themselves whether it's by looking, touching, or whatever. If you want to know more let me know. Hope it turns out well for you. Just curious... how did you react to your son when it happened?
I have a 5 year old great nephew who is just precious, however his parents are having a time with him talking other children mostly girls, we think, into going into a closet are hiding elsewhere and trading peeks. At first his parents talked with him and told him he needed to stop. After the first two times they fussed at him. Then at another childs house he did it again and also peed in a basket of clean clothes this woman had in the childs room. They then punished him and grounded him. They thought that was the end of it. It happened again yesterday with his 5 year old female cousin. (Peeking) This time his mom spanked him. Since this all began other family members have come forward with complaints from other children that he had talked them into doing this and one little girl even complained that he hurt her. These kids,( the parents) are at their wit's end. Can you help? Marie
Why is this child being permitted to be off alone with another child. It's nice to be able to have uninterrupted adult time, but this little guy needs to be watched like a hawk when other kids are around. Thats the first step, protect the other children from anything further, after that has been done, Mom and Dad need to start talking to his Dr about what is happening and think about some counseling for Jr. As for the clothes, he would get a quick course in how to wash and fold clothes. My kids know if the get pee on the bathroom floor, they are going to be mopping the bathroom. it's amazing how they are able to curb their behavior when they have to clean up after themselves. Good luck.
I agree. This child needs counceling. Since this behavior has occured more than once, and since this boy doesn't stop even after being told what he's doing is wrong, something needs to be done. Why isn't anyone monitoring this boy? Especially after this has happened several times, what are his parents thinking? If your nephew seriously hurts another child, charges cld be pressed against his parents. I think this boy's parents need to wake up and not take this situation so lightly. Ok, once, maybe curiously, twice, a bit suspicious, several times, a real problem!
At the very least, you should insist that the teacher call the mother. Tell her if you don't hear from the girl's mother by Friday that you will be calling her yourself. The girl's mother needs to be aware that it is possible the child may have been the target of a predator.
Wouldn't you want to know if your child was exhibiting such a symptom? It might be developmental, but it might be something else.
DON'T be the source of gossip on this matter. Be able to honestly say that you didn't talk to anyone about it. If the news circulates, it will be from school staff, or from the girl's family.

WWE has another turning point episode tonight on 'RAW' ( USA Network, 7pm C/8pm E) as they begin the important road to Wrestlemania and cover the fall out from last night's Royal Rumble pay per view. Superstars expected to appear tonight's show from Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena include Royal Rumble winner Batista, John Cena, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, and many more. Pro Wrestling Examiner runs down all the active story lines heading into tonight's live broadcast with this week's WWE RAW preview.
The Animal is heading to Wrestlemania
Despite a sold-out arena booing the victory, Batista had his first official WWE match in 4 and half years last night as entrant number 27 last night in the Royal Rumble. This cements Big Dave to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 30 on Sunday April 6th in New Orleans. Batista will celebrate tonight on RAW, but expect him to call out current champion Randy Orton and set a tone for his title chance. It would not surprise me if somehow the corporate Authority involves themselves in an in-ring confrontation between Batista and Orton somehow.
Daniel Bryan and YES Movment nearly derail the Rumble
The hottest superstar apparently with the fans is the same wrestler who lost the opening match on the Royal Rumble, Daniel Bryan. If you go to social media websites, it seems all fans online want to talk about is how much WWE upset them by not having Bryan win the Rumble or even participate in the Rumble itself. That sentiment was certainly a audible part of last night's live pay per view with angry fans chanting their disgust with almost anything that was not related to the bearded man from Amberdeen, Washington. The chanting got to a point that nearly derailed the WWE title match between Randy Orton and John Cena, yet both men worked their way under the challenging situation. If Daniel Bryan and his legions of finger-pumping fanatics want to bounce back from last night's setbacks, they need get a momentum change in the form of a challenge to "the machine" or big victory in the ring.
The Wyatt Family's new victim: John Cena
Bray Wyatt had the biggest night of his career last night. The former NXT star shined in the best match of the Royal Rumble, cleanly defeating his arch nemesis and fan favorite Daniel Bryan. Now the maniacal man moved on to his next foe fairly quickly, as later in the night Bray and his ghoulish thugs Erik Rowan and Luke Harper hit the ring to distract John Cena and cost him the WWE World title. The trio then beat on the 14-time World champ and making it abundantly clear that the fish their after now is one of the biggest in the WWE pond.
Just like Daniel Bryan, Cena will respond with a loud presence tonight on RAW. It's interesting what role the leader of the Cenation will play in the road to Wrestlemania as it appears at this time that he will not compete for the WWE title at the big show on April 6th.
Oh you didn't know?! The WWE has new Tag Team Champions
The New Age Outlaws upset Cody Rhodes and Goldust to become 6 time WWE Tag Team Champions in the kickoff show last night before Royal Rumble went live on PPV. With this title win, it's clear that Roaddogg and Billy Gunn are not just back for a nostalgia trip but a full fledge run as a veteran team with a proven record in WWE's youth-heavy tag team division. Fans should look to see on RAW if the Outlaws acknowledge any alliances with the villainous corporate authority, Triple H who they have a long public friendship with.
Also expect some solid cracks to show in the bond between brothers that is Goldust and Cody Rhodes. In a slightly unseen moment last night in the Rumble match, Goldust accidently help eliminate his brother Cody. This could develop the team's story and of course the fallout after losing the tag titles as well . There has been much chatter of both men getting a singles match against one another at Wrestlemania 30, if that match is indeed happening there could be the first chapter in that story tonight on RAW.
The Shield's break up is writing on the wall at this point. Roman Reigns eliminated his team mates Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in the Rumble last night, playing up the inner-strife of the trio recently seen on RAW and Smackdown. Reigns was an MVP of the Rumble, breaking the all-time elimination record set by Kane, and lasting until the very end before being eliminated by the winner Batista. Reigns will have to face the music with Ambrose and Rollins on RAW, which could see this team which dominated the last year of WWE call it quits for good. No matter what, WWE fans should expect upward momentum for all three young stars as they really delivered on their hype of as faction to be reckoned with.
WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee was absent along with the rest of the divas on the Royal Rumble last night. Expect the egomaniac AJ to have something to say about and set the stage for a new contender for her butterfly belt.
El Torito, the bull themed mascot of Los Matadores had a comedy driven segment in last night's Rumble match. The little guy should have some shine in tonight's RAW. Does anyone else except this Examiner predict a Hornswoggle vs. Torito showdown in the future?
Kofi Kingston did it again at the Rumble with another athletically valiant escape from elimination when he cat-walked a ringside guard rail and leaped back onto the ring apron to stay in the match. The Boom Dropper always gets his moments in at the Rumble, but it would be a bigger positive to see him use that attention to climb back into a bigger feud with another WWE superstar.

With many programs starting up preseason practices in the coming weeks, it's important that players are working on a preseason conditioning program to get back in shape and to prepare for the rigors of a long season.
Agility is crucial for a lacrosse player, especially when it comes to cutting, dodging, changing direction, and changing pace of play. Follow along with Syracuse University Strength & Conditioning Olympic Sports Director Veronica Dyer as she leads you through a number of agility workouts that are particularly effective for lacrosse players. Whether it's five minutes or a half-hour every day, look to implement agility training into your preseason regimen this year.
At the beginning of the year, Dyer likes to make sure that players have a solid, general base of fitness. At Syracuse, athletes will do some kind of agility training every day, whether its five or 25 minutes. First, always trying to challenge your players and really work on cutting, change of direction, and change of pace. Players must be agile to get away from defenders and outrun opponents. This is a huge part of their game.
This can be used as a warm-up or as part of an agility training session. All you need is one cone. Players will start by moving around the cone in a clockwise direction. Make quick choppy steps and look to get around the cone as quickly as you can. Switch directions.
Next, start behind the cone. Hop forward and back over the cone with both legs together. Go quickly when you hop forward and back. Then switch to side-to-side. After this, switch to using just one leg. Start with the right leg going forward and back over the cone. Then switch to side-to-side, working on lateral motion. Finish by going with the left foot for both.
*Note: Lateral drills can help strengthen ankles.
Finally, it's time for straddles. Place your feet on each side of the cone and a little bit more than shoulder-width apart. You will jump, turn, and spin, ultimately facing the other direction. Go about five times like this before switching directions. The object here is to land solid on your feet and establish a good ready position.
The "T" Drill is a combo of sprinting, shuffling, and backpedaling. You can use any combination of these in general. Work on sharp shutting here and getting that mobility of changing directions in quick fashion. Set up four cones in a "T" pattern, all about five yards apart. Each player will start with a sprint to the middle cone, then shuffle to the left cone and touch the cone, sprint to the far right cone and touch, shuffle to the middle cone, and then backpedal to the beginning. Start again immediately once you get back to the start.
Key: Be sharp and distinct with all movements.
Set the cones up in a "M" pattern. You can do any combo you'd like, but try this one to start. Begin at the lower left cone. Start by sprinting straight up, shuffle to the middle, pivot and shuffle to the top right, then backpedal to the lower right. Walk back over to the start and repeat. Once done the second time, start again but reversing the motions.
Key: Give 100% effort on each rep. Remember, you want to train the way you want to perform.
Set up the cones in a simple box formation. Here, let's sprint, shuffle, backpedal, and shuffle to the start. Then reverse the direction.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "Agility Training and Conditioning for Women's Lacrosse" with Veronica Dyer. To find more videos featuring lacrosse training and conditioning drills, click here.
The preseason is currently in full swing for most college lacrosse teams across the country. Meanwhile, even some high school squads are getting back out on the field for the first time and putting together their game plans for a new campaign.
So as lacrosse players get back in shape and prepare for the rigors of a long season, it's important to implement conditioning workouts that specifically focus on core strength, which consists of your abs, obliques, hips and lower back.
If you want to stay injury free and improve your overall performance this season, it's vital that you work out these areas of the body on a consistent basis.
*Keys to Core Strength Workouts*
-Maintain good posture and alignment throughout exercises
-Focus on the muscles being used
-Don't hold your breath
1. Extended Plank – Shoulder Touch
Get in a standard plank pose. Hold one arm down on the ground and then lift the opposite arm off the ground and touch your opposite shoulder. Keep your hands directly below your shoulders and keep your feet out wide. Place your left hand on your right shoulder for three seconds before switching. Remember, don't let any body parts move but that one arm and keep those hips down. Finish after completing three or four on each side.
2. Extended Plank Out-Out In-In
Get in a standard plank pose. Then, one at a time, move your hands "out-out" (wider) and then come "in-in." Your thumbs should touch when "in-in" and on "out-out", your hands should be well wider than your shoulders. Every time you go in-in, that's one rep. Be sure to count out five and keep those hips stationary.
3. Plank Position – Elbows to Shoulders
Start out in a standard plank position. Then go down to an elbow plank pose. Alternate back and forth between the two. Finish after going up and down five times.
4. Plank Position – Reach Forward
Get in a standard plank pose. Then, reach out one hand as if you're about to shake someone's hand. Then switch to the other hand. Do three on each side.
5. Elbow Plank Open Up to Side Plank
Start out in a standard elbow plank position. Then, open up and get your hips and shoulders perpendicular to the ground. Look up when you turn up each time. Remember to do three on each side.
6. Side Elbow Plank with Hip Touch
Start out in a standard elbow plank position. Then, touch one knee to the opposite elbow and switch. To do this, simply bring one knee in and have it meet your opposite elbow underneath your body. Remember, maintain proper posture and always be in control of each move. Don't rush.
7. Side Bridge with Hip Raise
Get in a side plank position and then raise your body up from "hip to ground" to "hip to sky." Count out five and then flip over to the other side.
8. Rocking Chair
Sit on your back. Take your hands and clasp them behind your head and keep your knees bent with feet flat on the floor to start. Next, raise your legs and connect your elbows to your knees and keep them connected, even as your coach applies resistance.
9. Target
Start out on your back. Your coach will then sandwich your knees together. Next, do a sit-up and as you are coming up, take one hand and slap the opposite target provided by the coach (which will probably be one of his outstretched hands). Your progression should go like this. Go 1 slap and back down. Go 1-2 and then down (stay up for opposite slaps). Then go 1-2-3 and down. Follow this progression all the way to six.
The previous core exercises can be seen in the Championship Productions video "130 Pro Power Strength, Power & Explosiveness Drills" featuring Alan Stein. To check out our extensive strength and conditioning library, click here.

There is, was, and always will be only one James Brown. That happens to be the draw of his new biopic, Get On Up (opening today), as well as its flaw.
Chadwick Boseman - who most recently portrayed another iconic figure in last year's Jackie Robinson biopic, 42 - gives a valiant effort in the role of the film's subject, James Brown. But dress him up, give him Brown's hair and gravelly voice, and he still doesn't quite encapsulate the spirit of the man known as Mr. Dynamite, the Godfather of Soul.
There have been countless biographical films made over the years and sometimes the actor captures the essence of its subject and sometimes he/she doesn't. Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon, or Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles in Ray? Both performances are examples of the rarity of embodiment, not just impersonation. Boseman's James Brown is more of the latter, the on-screen equivalent to the performance of Joaquin Phoenix's Johnny Cash: Both had the look and even some of the mannerisms down-pat, but there was just something missing.
Get On Up has more issues than just that, although that's a glaring one. Director Tate Taylor tells us the story of James Brown, from his poor, abusive beginnings through his rise to super-stardom and then his eventual, inevitable cooling off. He doesn't shy away from some of Brown's ugliness: Domestic abuse, his penchant for being a slick-talking a-hole and the fact that he was a shrewd businessman. But Taylor also doesn't linger in these areas. In fact, the narrative is all over the place, flashing back and forth through time without any real purpose other than to trying to infuse the film with some style of its own.
The result is a confusing mish-mash of scenes that add up to nothing new, nothing that we haven't seen before. Brown's life may have followed the trajectory of many other famous people - rise from nothing, enjoys fame, abuses fame, destroys personal life, eventual redemption - but it is a tale that we have seen way too many times. His closest friend and band mate, Bobby Byrd (Nelson Ellis, from HBO's True Blood) helps Brown along, but eventually gets burned, as all peripheral characters seem to do in movies such as this.
Adding to the cliches are occasional reminders of just how un-hip white people are and how white folk just don't "get" soul music. It may be true, but its exhausting to endure. Many key career milestones are skipped over as well, instead choosing to focus mostly on Brown's early days.
Luckily, despite all that goes wrong, there is the music. If nothing else, Get On Up is a celebration of James Brown, the Famous Flames and the era. It's nearly impossible not to get sucked up in the on-screen soul. The film's best scene has Brown instructing his band that every instrument - the guitar, the trumpet, the saxophone - is a drum. They all exist not to hit the right notes, but to create a "groove."
Get On Up never really finds its groove, but it will have you moving in your seat and tapping your toes, in wonderment of what was the real James Brown.

Stephen Sawyer looking out from the fully-operational replica of the Union Pacific No. 119, minus a couple parts he's polishing right now.
Promontory was a bustling place in the 1800s, home to crews who worked for Central Pacific or Union Pacific. The Golden Spike Ceremony on May 10, 1869 was held to officially recognize the meeting of the two railroads, making train travel possible from Nebraska all the way to Cali. Pretty huge deal back then. Click here to get the full history.
The actual golden spike and three other ceremonial spikes were presented to bigwigs, not driven into the ground like I thought, and like Stephen says is one of the biggest misconceptions. Bummer. Still, the museum is full of awesome finds from the period and the replicas of the original trains run all summer.
Dirt path most of the way up, once you get past ATK's facility in Corinne, but beautiful area. Make sure you bring some cash with you for the entrance fee: $7 per vehicle, $4 per motorcycle or bike...free per press pass. Yes!
I brought my camera for photos of the actual spot the ceremony was held, the trains themselves and the workshop where Stephen and the other engineers spend all winter cleaning/fixing the trains for summer reenactments.
Stephen Sawyer's work bench, where he literally takes care of every bell and whistle.
Westbound train, Union Pacific No. 119.
Eastbound train, Central Pacific Jupiter.
This is where it happened, May 10, 1869. The site of the ceremony.

1. The UN contract is a stand-alone package, designed to be sufficiently flexible to accommodate the full range of employment types in which the UN is engaged and is intended to apply to all UN contracted employees, without the need for supplementation. Single source payment is consistent with the UN intention that members "observe strict neutrality" and "seek or receive instructions from no source external to the United Nations".
ADF Conditions of Service supplementation
2. Current DFRT legislation specifically excludes any form of salary or salary related allowance supplementation, as reflected in PACMAN Chapter 3, Part 1 clause A.1.8, 3.2.4 and 3.2.10. These same clauses have a beneficial effect in that they facilitate members employed on UN contract to retain their "effective service" status for the purposes of being able to: contribute to ADF superannuation (DFRDB/MSBS); retain service and promotion seniority; count as service for long service leave; and, to ensure that coverage under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (MRCA) is preserved. Prior to the 2001 DFRT legislative change, members were required to take leave without pay.
Superannuation considerations
3. MSBS/DFRDB members COMSUPER considers that your period of secondment is similar to leave without pay. You will need to make arrangements with COMSUPER both in the notification that you are about to cease being paid by the ADF, and through the submission of form ML3 prior to recommencing paid employment with the ADF. COMSUPER will advise you that you are required to make a payment for the period that you have been on secondment through one of three options: payment of a lump sum, a specified timeframe for payment or a doubling of contributions for up to a two year period. This payment ensures that there is no loss of continuity of service for DFRDB/MSBS purposes. You can not elect to make payments to COMSUPER whilst you are in UN employment. ADF members who are on UN contract have a 7.9% deduction made to the UN pension fund whilst they are employed by the UN. If the employment period is less than 5 years, then this amount is refunded once the contract has concluded.
4. Two superannuation considerations are important when considering UN employment. Firstly, provided DFRDB or MSBS holders make a payment to COMSUPER for the period they have been under contract, on their return to Australia, their contract period will count as effective service for DFRDB and MSBS purposes. Secondly for MSBS members there is no employer contribution paid to your MSBS account whilst you are on contract. The responsibility for ensuring continuity of your superannuation contributions is between each member and COMSUPER, with continuity as negotiated by the member with COMSUPER. Superannuation is solely a member responsibility and cannot be completed by Defence on behalf of the member. The contact number for COMSUPER is 1300 001 677 for DFRDB and 1300 006 727 for MSBS. Likewise there is no ability for the Department to compensate MSBS members for the loss of employer benefit whilst they are seconded to the UN.
Salary Sacrifice
5. For those members who are salary sacrificing, you will need to make arrangements with Smart Salary or the company with which you have entered your agreement and cease the arrangement. This is another consideration you need to make when considering the UN contract package and your current financial circumstances. The Department has no liability for any salary sacrificing arrangements.
6. Advice from DVA confirms that coverage under the MRCA continues throughout the period of secondment. Given the member's Defence Service continues uninterrupted through their UN contract secondment, this advice is consistent with the definitions within the MRCA for member, defence service and service injury.
UN Contract Entitlements
UNHQ New York – Long Term assignment
7. There can be some difference in the UN base salary paid depending on the staff rule under which the member is employed. These differences are generally not substantial (a recent example at the COL equivalent level saw USD109,153 for UNHQ compared to USD106,907 for UN Field Service) and with the layering of UN allowances and other entitlements on top of salary, targeted at the specific circumstances of each officer, an overall appropriate package in each case is provided.
8. The allowances paid by the UN are substantial. For example in 2008 a COL equivalent with accompanying wife and two children, on a standard contract secondment to the UNHQ in New York received an Assignment Grant covering a range of pre-departure and initial in-country costs of USD26,025 and Post Adjustment of USD51,000. These entitlements are detailed in the contract offer, providing the basis for member consideration. These two allowances are the primary allowances, with a range of other entitlements the details of which can be obtained from the UN website at:
Field Mission
9. Members on UN contract secondment are not entitled to the ADF deployment package, including when undertaking service with the UN in a location where there is an existing ADF operation.
10. The UN package applying to officers on contract to a Field Mission is different to that paid to members in UNHQ New York. This is deliberately so, similar in principle to that applying to ADF overseas packages where 'deployment' packages differ to that of a 'long-term overseas posting' package. Field Mission officers do not receive an Assignment Grant or Post Adjustment, but may be entitled to a substantial Service Allowance, Family Allowance where they meet the qualifying criteria, Hazard Pay where paid for the location and Mission Subsistence Allowance.
Field Mission allowances
In brief:
Family Allowance (FA); is paid at a rate of 12 percent of the sum of the net base salary plus the service allowance, subject to verification the member has a dependant spouse or child. A dependant spouse is defined as a spouse who has no occupational earnings or whose gross occupational earnings do not exceed the maximum annual earnings limit, which is currently USD31,822. A dependant child must be under the age of 18 (or 21 if certified in full-time school attendance), normally reside with the member and for whom the member provides main and continuing financial support.
Hazard Pay (HP); is a form of compensation granted where the member is working in a duty station where very hazardous conditions, such as war or active hostilities prevail, and where the evacuation of families and non essential staff may have taken place. Rates vary and it is not paid in all Field Missions. For example, it is paid in Sudan but there is no entitlement in Timor-Leste. For more information and details of rates see:
Mission Subsistence Allowance (MSA); is a daily allowance paid by the UN for living expenses incurred by staff members in the field in connection with their temporary assignment or appointment to a special mission. MSA rates are established for each mission on the basis of cost of long-term accommodation, food and miscellaneous expenses at the duty station. MSA is subject to reductions where accommodation and/or food are provided. In the case of accommodation, where accommodation is provided the standard rate of MSA is reduced by 50% regardless of whether the accommodation provided is permanent, prefabricated or tented. For more information and details of rates see:
11. For medical, under the UN Staff Rules governing members engaged under rule 301.1(a)(ii) (Field Mission) is the directive "..staff members……shall participate in a medical insurance scheme under conditions established by the Secretary-General unless specifically exempted from such participation". The amount payable by the member will vary from country to country, but generally will be in the order of USD100 per month. Given members on contract secondment retain "effective service" status and therefore the expectation of continued free medical/dental, application for reimbursement of these costs should be forwarded through DGGHS for consideration.
12. A deduction called a Staff Assessment is applied to the salary of members on UN contract secondment as a form of internal tax administered by the organization. UN member states usually grant UN staff exemption from national income taxation on their UN income. Whether Australian tax relief is achieved or not is of no consequence, because where tax is levied by the parent country a reimbursement of the income tax paid is available to the staff member through the UN Tax Equalization Fund. In effect, this ensures that the member will pay no more than the Staff Assessment. Details of the amount to be paid as Staff Assessment, is included in the contract document.
13. In the case of personnel on UN Field Mission contract, this same principle applies; that is they will pay a Staff Assessment regardless of the tax outcome achieved by other ADF members in the same location on an ADF operation. In explanation, all current ADF non-warlike operations are afforded access to tax exemption under section 23AG of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (ITAA), once they have met a qualifying period of 91 days (exemption applies from day one). Section 23AG is a general provision available to all Australians, regardless of whether working for the ADF or any other employer. Section 23AG is not in any way linked to "non-warlike" service or Defence service per se. When speaking about section 23AG it is something of a misnomer to refer to it as a tax "exemption". What in fact it is, is recognition by the ATO that the tax payer has a tax liability in another jurisdiction and he/she should not be taxed twice. Regardless of whether granted section 23AG exemption, the UN contracted member will be afforded an entitlement which mirrors the intended outcome of 23AG exemption, that is he/she is meeting his/her legitimate obligation in another jurisdiction (the UN Staff Assessment) and therefore should pay no Australian tax. He/she will not be taxed twice, which is what section 23AG is about.
UN Pension Fund
14. Member contributions are made at the rate of 7.9% of pensionable remuneration. Where the contributory service to the fund is less than five years, which will encompass all ADF secondments, member contributions are refunded to the member when the contract is complete.

A mom is a suspect in a missing baby case after her 7-week-old daughter vanished from her Memphis home earlier this week. The desperate search for the baby, Aniston Walker, is back on this weekend, with police calling the abduction a "suspicious case" in which the mother has also been cited for both neglect and child abuse. ABC News shares the latest information available at this time this Friday, Jan. 10, 2014.
The mom in question, 33-year-old Andrea Walker, became a key suspect after her baby went missing this Thursday morning. The 7-week-old girl's whereabouts are completely unknown at this point and time, and police are said to have few leads. As the desperate search continues this Saturday, law enforcement officials are utilizing cadaver dogs to investigate nearby homes, examine local backyards in the Memphis area, and even searched nearby neighborhood pond this Friday not far from where the baby was being raised with her mother and two siblings.
So far, no evidence of the missing baby's position was discovered on Friday, but police are hoping to find her this weekend. The Memphis police force are hoping that the trending "mom suspect missing baby" headline and tragic nature of the case will make the public more aware of the abducted 7-week-old, and that neighbors might keep a sharp eye out to aid in the desperate search. The 33-year-old mom, Walker, claims that she left the baby back at home this Thursday morning with her 3-year-old son while dropping her 5-year-old to school. When she returned home, the baby girl was missing (though her son was still at home).
Though she soon became a suspect after police noted potential suspicious inconsistencies in her story, Andrea Walker noted that there wasn't any sign of an abduction or break-in, and that the doors remained locked. She added that two individuals had the key to her house.
Affidavit details via the official press release on the "mom suspect missing baby" story are provided here:
"Police affirmed that Walker called the baby's father, who had reported the infant missing. Police also add they are not sure when someone other than the mother had last seen the baby … After interviewing Walker, police charged her with neglect and abuse. She is jailed on $500,000 bond."
Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong concluded that the mom is now a prime suspect in the disappearance.
"Realistically, 7-week-old kids don't mysteriously disappear without some circumstances behind it," Armstrong said. "If this was a teenage kid, if this was even a small child of school age, obviously our hopes would be high. But again, 7-week-old children do not have the means to just disappear."
"Based on his experience and the age of the child that is missing, the interviewer has probable cause to believe the child has sustained seriously bodily injury," concluded one police officer's report on the condition of little Aniston Walker.
The search for the child continues.

According to a Jan. 7 report from MMA Junkie, hard-hitting lightweight contender Joe Ellenberger (14-1) has signed an exclusive four-fight deal with the UFC.
Ellenberger, 28, made the gigantic news official by using an equally gigantic pencil to ink his name on the dotted line.
UFC Senior Director of Public Relations Dave Sholler was so amused by the pencil Ellenberger used that he told the Nebraskan to bring it with him on his first press tour.
"@JoeEllenberger @EllenbergerMMA @ufc @AdamEllenberger welcome. And bring that pencil on your first press tour," Sholler tweeted.
Ellenberger also took to Twitter to thank his fans for the support, but he made no mention of the pencil.
"Overwhelmed with all of the love & support from #EllenbergerNATION & @ufc fans around the world. You guys are motivating! #blessed," Ellenberger tweeted after the announcement was made.
Gigantic pencil or not, it's hard to argue with the UFC's decision to sign him.
The twin brother of perennial welterweight contender Jake Ellenberger, Joe is a veteran of several high-level Midwest promotions, including Titan FC and Victory FC.
He rarely leaves his fights in the hands of the judges, as 12 of his 14 wins came by way of stoppage.
Most recently, Ellenberger knocked out former Strikeforce star Joe Wilk, who had been on a 7-1 hot streak.
Ellenberger, who holds eight MMA victories via knockout, is a former high school wrestling champion in his home state of Nebraska, and he's also a two-time NCAA Division II All-American wrestler.
The UFC hasn't yet announced who his first opponent with be.

College Hockey:Hengen, St. Cloud State Outlast Michigan Tech
Battle Of Huskies Goes To Wire; MTU's Conner Nets Hat Trick In Loss
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — St. Cloud State might need to bring a set of keys next time against Michigan Tech, so that when they get a chance to put 'em away, they can lock the door.
Because, as SCSU has proven through the first two weekends of the season, there is no letting up with Jamie Russell's team.
Michigan Tech came back last night to tie St. Cloud State in the final minute of the third, and came back again on Saturday, this time from two down in the final period to tie.
But St. Cloud wouldn't settle for a draw this time, getting a late goal from an unlikely source to sneak away with a 6-5 win before an announced crowd of 5,782 at the National Hockey Center and take three of the four points up for grabs on the weekend.
Billy Hengen sneaked around the Michigan Tech net and roofed a shot over Bryce Luker with just under four minutes to play to finally put a dagger in a Tech team that at times seemed invincible.
It was the sophomore's second of the night and, as crazy as it sounds, of his career. But it was enough to lift SCSU to its third win in four league games.
The homestanding Huskies survived a scare, and killed off a late penalty to Tim Conboy, and when it was all said and done, St. Cloud State remained undefeated.
"If this were a movie, the climax of that movie would have been the last three minutes," said Adam Coole, who replaced Jason Montgomery in the St. Cloud State net after Montgomery gave up three goals on just nine shots in the first. "The third period seems like a blur, but all I gotta say is, what a huge kill at the end."
"I'm sure this was a good game for the fans," said St. Cloud State head coach Craig Dahl. "You like to think that with a 5-3 lead you're pretty safe, but they never quit."
Many others will find out that no lead is that safe against this Michigan Tech team, though, because they have a couple of players who can flat-out score. Chris Conner fits that category. He had three goals Saturday, and now has nine in four games.
"He's phenomenal," said Coole. "He's going to be a force in this league. To be honest, I hadn't even heard about him before this weekend but he turned my head, I know that."
Conner had a pair Friday, both of Tech's goals in the third Saturday, including one at the end of a three-goal barrage in the first.
That one was a shorthanded sprint that ended with a frozen Montgomery on the other end, a goal which gave his team a 3-1 lead just 7:28 into the game.
Dave Iannazzo redirected a shot past Luker, who faced 50 shots Friday, on St. Cloud State's first shot of the night 1:42 into the game. But Michigan Tech rattled off three in a five-minute span, the last of which was Conner's shorty, to take away any momentum St. Cloud had.
It could have been worse for St. Cloud; if a couple of passes would have hit the tape or a few pucks wouldn't have hopped sticks for Michigan Tech, it could have easily been 4-1 or 5-1.
But St. Cloud survived the first and got back into the game in the second. Joe Jenson got it started by squeezing a shot between Luker and the post on a power play 4:24 into the second. Matt Hendricks then got his first of the year at the 16:40 mark of the frame when he one-timed a drop pass from Peter Szabo off the left post and behind Luker.
Just 40 seconds later, Garrett Larson took a centering pass from Nate Raduns and blasted it over Luker's glove to give St. Cloud State the lead again.
"When I came into the game in the second I just thought I had to close the door," said Coole. "And then they score three goals in one period for me — that's a sign of a pretty good team."
"We're extremely close, we just need to learn how to play with a lead," said Conner, whose nine goals lead the nation. "But if we can do that, we will be a really tough team to beat in the WCHA."
And maybe they can get a 5-2 or 6-3 win.
"Yeah, that would be nice, wouldn't it," said Conner.
They'll get a shot next weekend when Vermont visits the Upper Peninsula for a nonconference series. St. Cloud plays an ECAC opponent as well, hosting Princeton.

Robin van Persie has been a pivotal part of Manchester United's title pursuit this season
Many fans ridicule it and simply remark that, in the grand scheme of the things, it really doesn't matter. No, no – I'm not talking about the International break, but personal awards for players. Yes, the European Cup, Championship, FA Cup and League Cup are all more important – agreed. But when one of your players, like Wayne Rooney in 2010, Giggs in 2009 and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008 (and 2007) are awarded with such a prize, their contributions has aided the club throughout the season. Sure, sometimes you lose out – like in 2010 – but the award is a pretty good indication of a player who has made the difference in the season. This is why Robin van Persie must be crowned PFA Footballer of the year ahead of the exceptional Luis Suarez and brilliant Gareth Bale.

Softball Falls To Portland State In Opener Of 27th Annual Troy Cox Classic
Feb. 20, 2004
Las Cruces, N.M. - The UIC softball team opened the 27th Annual Troy Cox Classic on a sour note as Portland State bested the Flames, 8-0, in five innings on Friday morning.
UIC trailed the Vikings (2-4) by just a single run until Portland State (2-4) erupted for seven runs on seven hits in the bottom of the fourth inning. Kayla Lewis struck the decisive blow with a two-out grand slam off Flames reliever Chelsey Barclay. Erin Stokey followed Lewis with a solo blast for the final 8-0 margin.
Sophomore Brittany McIntyre started for UIC and was tagged with the loss, dropping to 0-4 on the season. She allowed five runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings of work.
Michelle Hext (2-1) was the winning pitcher for the Vikings, surrendering just one hit while striking out five.
Freshman Tonya Maosi tallied the Flames lone hit with a single in the second inning.
UIC will be back in action later this afternoon as they take on Colorado State.

Members of the Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI, a burglary team, that liberated secret counterintelligence documents code-named COINTELPRO came forward after nearly 43 years of silence. On Jan. 7, 2014, the biggest mystery in the history of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was solved with the publication of The Burglary: The Discovery of J. Edgar Hoover's Secret FBI by Betty Medsger, a former Washington Post reporter who first published stolen FBI documents two weeks after their theft.
Medsger told NBC, "These documents were explosive….The FBI was never the same."
In a scene worthy of a Hollywood thriller, on March 8, 1971, an eight-member team wearing suits and carrying suitcases, broke into a satellite FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania and carted off hundreds of pages of COINTELPRO documents revealing a lengthy list of dirty tricks and surveillance by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation under orders from Director J. Edgar Hoover.
Hoover was furious over the break-in and shut down dozens of satellite offices as a result. Hoover assigned his Inspector General, Mark "Deep Throat" Felt, to investigate the theft. Hoover was certain that anti-war activists Daniel and Phillip Berrigan were responsible. Over two hundred FBI agents were dispatched in a massive investigation, the largest in Bureau history up to that time. The investigation spanned five years until the FBI moved on. Until now the break-in was never solved.
One member of the Citizens' Commission was John Raines who told NBC that they exposed ongoing crimes by the FBI. Raines said, "We did because somebody had to do it."
The burglary was the idea of William C. Davidon, a professor of physics at Haverford College. Davidon assembled a team over the summer of 1970. They spent months studying the office building, clocking the activities of tenants and plotting getaways. Davidon died in 2013.
Bonnie Raines posed as a Swarthmore student and cased the inside of the office two weeks before the break-in while visiting with the Special Agent-in-Charge. Raines told the agent she was studying employment opportunities in the FBI for women.
Keith Forsyth was the team lock-pick but was unable to open a new office lock so he took a crowbar to another entrance. Forsyth told NBC, ""When you talked to people outside the movement about what the FBI. was doing, nobody wanted to believe it. There was only one way to convince people that it was true, and that was to get it in their handwriting."
Bob Williamson was the fifth member of the team to go public. Three members of the Citizens' Commission have decided to remain unidentified. All eight were anti-war activists.
The team ransacked the FBI office like clockwork and quickly stuffed their suitcases with confidential files, unaware of the full scope of COINTELPRO and its wide sweep of individuals as targets for counterintelligence measures. Holed up for ten days in a farmhouse in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, the team poured over the mass of documents selecting material for release. Then the group dispersed never to meet again. It would take several years of litigation by NBC reporter Carl Stern to pry out the details of COINTELPRO only hinted at in the Media documents.
J. Edgar Hoover launched COINTELPRO in 1956 against the Communist Party. By 1971 the clandestine counterintelligence operation consumed vast amounts of FBI resources and targeted thousands of individuals. The most lethal operations of COINTELPRO were directed at the Black Panthers.
A spokesman for the FBI said that "a number of events during that era, including the Media burglary, contributed to changes to how the FBI identified and addressed domestic security threats, leading to reform of the FBI's intelligence policies and practices and the creation of investigative guidelines by the Department of Justice."
