Cody Garcia, assistant coach at Bethany College, has been promoted to head up its wrestling program, the Kansas-based school announced Wednesday.
Garcia had been named interim head coach in late March after Jacob Marrs announced his resignation. Marrs had been hired as the program's first coach in February 2011.
"I am very excited that Cody Garcia has accepted our offer to become the second Head Men's Wrestling Coach in the program's history," said Dean of Athletics Dane Pavlovich. "His passion for wrestling, connections to the current team, and relationships with coaches all over the Midwest make this a tremendous situation for both the wrestling program and the Department of Athletics. I look forward to the success that Cody will lead the Swedes to both on and off the mat."
Garcia expressed his excitement in a message posted to the Bethany Swedes Wrestling Facebook page Wednesday afternoon: "Couldn't be more excited and grateful for the opportunity to work with this group and continue to build one of the best programs in the state!"
In the school's official announcement, Garcia is quoted as saying, "It is truly a blessing for me to get the chance to serve this brotherhood in a new role. They have inspired me to follow this path through their support and trust in me, as well as their commitment to the program. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to continue to have an active role in encouraging these young men through our shared passion of wrestling."
Prior to coming to Bethany to join the coaching staff of the then-new program in 2011, Garcia built an impressive wrestling resume in the heartland. Cody Garcia was a three-time Kansas state champ at Hutchinson High School, wrestling for his father, Mike. Cody then headed to University of Nebraska-Omaha, the now-defunct wrestling program that was a dominant force in NCAA Division II competition. As a Maverick, Cody Garcia was a two-time NCAA champ (2006, 2008), three-time finalist, and four-time All-American. His teams won NCAA D2 championships in 2005, 2006, 2009, and 2010. He completed his UNO mat career with a 147-18 overall record; 84 of those wins were by pin. Garcia was also a four-time Academic All-American.
Garcia launched his coaching career as a student assistant at Nebraska-Omaha.
Despite being a three-year-old program, Bethany wrestling has enjoyed considerable success. This past season, the Swedes finished 20th at the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) National Championships, where Colby Crank was a finalist in the 149-pound weight class. A total of seven Bethany wrestlers qualified for the 2014 NAIA championships.
Established by Swedish Lutheran immigrants in 1881, Bethany is a four-year, liberal-arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

HDD Kicker
Last month I experienced one of the worst but most common feeling of people relying too much on computers. I had a hard disk failure. It started with a few bad sectors and like a cancer, HDD became almost inoperable. I used ddrescue to backup the contents of the disk to another one, but quite often the disk stuck, and every following action resulted only to a new entry at /var/log/messages with "Hardware Failure" KQC. The only solution was to unplug the power from the HDD and replug it, so that ddrescue could continue backing up the disk. After 30 times doing this, I understood that due to the frequency of this hardware failures, it was impossible for me to monitor the system and reset hard disk.
Automate monitoring
So I made a php script that starts ddrescue and monitors its output if it is stuck by checking the "last successful read" field if it is more than 1 second. On failure detection the script sent, through libnotify, a message to user to reset hard disk and blocked till the disk was disconnected and reconnected. This made the process even more easier and permitted me to do other things at the PC on the same time. The only thing I had to do is every time the message pop-up I just unplug and re-plug the power on the external case. However after 50 resets this was also too much for me.
Automate power reset
I wanted something that will do everything on its own, so I thought that I should control the power of the hdd through the monitoring software. The first thing that I needed was a relay, and Saturday night is not a good time to go buy one. I remembered that, I had an old router/modem, when it booteed up it did the "click" sound of the relays. So I took it and disassembled it, seeking for a relay on its board. And I found it, it was an TX2-3v. This was perfect for me it was a 3volts controlled relay that could handle 12V at 2A (more than I needed). I took an old Fan with a mole connector and I modified it with the relay on it and two leds for showing state. I used a bit hot silicon to make the whole construction robust.
Control the relay
The next step was to control this relay. The concept is simple, if there is 2.5 - 3.5V 0.40mA at its control circuit (the blue-red cables) the relay will switch, and at our case it will power off the hard disk (by default without power to the relay, the HDD is switched on). I tried to connect relay directly with the system through RS232 on the RTC pin, but the RS232 protocol although it defines a voltage between 7V-12V for ON state, it is not more than 5mA, which is far few than what is need for this relay. I could solve this probably with a couple transistors and external power source like usb, but I had none of them. What I had was a nerdkits kit that I never used it in the past, and from what I knew it was possible to output that voltage with needed current. So following the basic guide I made a small circuit and program for the atmel to control an output pin of it and eventually the relay. The experiment was success and I started building up a complete system.
HDD Kicker
HDD Kicker is an AVR based small circuit and program to reset hard disk through the RS232. It is made in such way to prevent direct control over the power of HDD, so that any software bug does not switch the relay in an abnormal way (well "normal" is redefined already in this project). You can request a reset from the kicker and it will assure that there is a minimum time interval between resets and a minimum time for spin down and spin up. It will also count the resets and time from the last one and the progress of a reset process. All this will be displayed on 2 lines LCD screen that is connected on the circuit. There is also a test button to request reset without the need of RS232 message.
If you have played at least one time with Atmel MCU then the circuit is self explained. Pin PC4 is configured as output pin and the Relay is connect with a small resistor to drop voltage from 5V to ~ 3V. At pin PC5 a push button is connect to trigger test event. Pin PC5 is configured as pullup input, so if it is connected with the ground then you can monitor it from MCU's internal registers. The leds are connected after the relay at the 5V power of the HDD, and they work as a visual confirmation of the current relay state. I will not get in deep of how you can control pins on AVR as there are amazingly numerous articles for almost every bundle/kit.
I made also a video where you can see it working. I used OpenShot video editor for the first time and, being a bit enthusiast, I may overdid it with the directing:P Enjoy.

I am providing here the source but keep in mind it is more like a POC and not a complete and robust application that is well tested etc...

For using a flashlight with your gun, I would echo Bob's (acparmed) recommendation above. The Harries technique works well and is alot more versatile, for me, than having it mounted on the gun. As Chris said, a mounted gunlight does give you some holster problems.
I'm another that would whole-heartedly recommend Sam Andrews for a custom holster. Sam's the best. :smile:

So last week I was surprised to see that I was starting out levels with a 200% xplodium bonus, and after each wave the bonus would increase by 10%, and maxed out at 400%. This differs from the usual 100% start, 5% increase, and 200% max.
Today, I was disappointed to see that I started out at 100% again. I googled it and someone mentioned that it was a St. Patrick's Day easter egg of sorts, but this clearly doesn't apply to what I saw, since it was obviously not St. Patty's Day when I experienced this.
Can anyone explain this? Is there a way to unlock this "feature" again?

PULLMAN, Wash. – In its first home meet of the season Friday, the Washington State swimming team fell to USC by a final score of 146-116 at Gibb Pool.
The Cougars jumped in front of USC early with a victory in the 200 medley relay. The relay team of Emma Johansson, Frederikke Hall, Alison Mand, and Haley Rose Love placed first with a time of 1:45.24.
Johansson was the second-highest individual scorer of the meet with 18 points, behind USC's Maggie D'Innocenzo (21). In the 100 back, Johansson notched a time of 56.49 to capture first place. The Cougar senior also championed the 100 fly with a time of 56.26. In addition to being on the winning 200 medley relay team, she was the first leg of the relay team in the 400 free relay that placed second.
Freshman Haley Rose Love made waves for the Cougars with her first-place finish in the 100 free. Love also tabbed a second place finish in the 50 free with a time of 24.22. Fellow Cougar freshman Elise Locke had continued success in her debut season with the Cougars with a second-place finish in the 200 fly (2:03.46).
"We had some impressive swims," Cougar Head Coach Tom Jager said. "We have a very good medley relay. Emma Johansson, Elise Locke, and Ali Mand all had great swims."
Mand captured second place in the 100 fly and third place in the 100 back individually. She was also on the winning 200 medley relay team, and swam the third leg on the 400 free relay team that placed second.
Presley Wetterstrom joined the list of Cougars to capture first-place finishes against USC by claiming the top spot in the 200 breast (2:21.30).
The Cougars will travel across state lines Saturday for a dual meet with Idaho. The meet in Moscow, Idaho will begin at 12 p.m.

Buttressed Retaining Walls, For an Extra Wall of Support
Counterfort retaining walls are similar to cantilevers, but they have an extra wall of support. This fortifies the entire structure. However, you'd never know it was there, because the wall is hidden underneath earth and gravel. For the counterfort wall to work, the retaining section and support wall must be tied together by reinforced steel. This secondary construction makes it virtually impossible for the retaining wall to lose attachment to the footer.
Buttressed retaining walls are exactly the same as counterfort designs, but their support wall is on the outside, making it a visible part of the structure. This type of wall is very strong and reliable. Buttresses can be used in landscaping with stone or other materials. As you may gather, these types of walls are very complex and require professional engineering to be installed correctly.
Enhancing your landscape with retaining walls can be a DIY project but its best if you let the pros handle the heavy lifting. They can create curved or flowing planter boxes in the front yard, for added curb appeal. And if you live in a mountainous location, cutting out a private wall and patio area for family gatherings is a great option. Those are just a few ideas for retaining walls but there are many more. Contact CalFinder to find a landscaping contractor in your area or check out the website provided below for more retaining wall ideas.

We encourage you to check out their entire Etsy shop, but our personal favorite is this pair of Idylla Lace Earrings, ($22) cut from a piece of antique lace & matched with vintage grey stones. They'd strike just the right tone for fall with a velvet blazer and soft, glowing makeup... Romantic and undeniably feminine.

The Portland Trail Blazers officially hired Bill Branch and Steve Rosenberry on Thursday as assistant general managers, Blazers general manager Rich Cho announced.
The Columbian first reported the pending hires Tuesday.
Branch's responsibilities will center on NBA talent, and he will collaborate with Portland director of NBA scouting Michael Born. Rosenberry and Blazers director of college scouting Chad Buchanan will focus on the college ranks.
Branch and Rosenberry will start their new jobs next week in preparation for the 2010-11 season.
"I've had the opportunity to work closely with both Bill and Steve and have always been impressed by their tremendous basketball acumen, work ethic and character," Cho said. "I am thrilled to have them join me, Chad and Mike as part of our front office staff."
Branch, 44, joins the Blazers from Oklahoma City, where he worked alongside Cho for the past three seasons as the team's director of pro player personnel. A 23-year NBA veteran, Branch worked for Denver from 1997-2007, first as an advance scout and for the last five years of his tenure as assistant coach and director of scouting. He spent 1987-97 with Charlotte.
"I'm very excited to have the opportunity to work for a team with such a rich tradition, great fan base and talented staff," said Branch. "I look forward to doing everything I can to contribute and help the Blazers move forward and build upon some great pieces."
Rosenberry, 55, most recently served as director of pro personnel/college scouting with Atlanta from 2008-10.
He got his NBA start with Seattle in 1985, and worked for six seasons as a scout before joining the Hornets in a similar capacity from 1991-94. He returned to Seattle in 1994 and then spent the next 13 seasons with the SuperSonics, serving as director of scouting until 2007.
Before joining the Hawks in 2008, Rosenberry spent the 2007-08 season as a consultant with Milwaukee.
Rosenberry played two seasons for the Lancaster Red Roses of the Continental Basketball Association from 1978-80. He then spent two years in Europe with the McGregor Power All-Stars before pursuing a basketball management career in the NBA.
"I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with Rich, and while I have tremendous respect for him as a basketball person, he's been a great friend throughout the years," Rosenberry said. "It's exciting to be a part of an organization with a storied history and winning tradition such as Portland's."

Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from cerebral catecholamine deficiency. Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency has been reported in fewer than 40 patients worldwide. To recapitulate all available evidence on clinical phenotypes and rational diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this devastating, but treatable, neurometabolic disorder, we studied 36 patients with tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency and reviewed the literature. Based on the presenting neurological features, tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency can be divided in two phenotypes: an infantile onset, progressive, hypokinetic-rigid syndrome with dystonia (type A), and a complex encephalopathy with neonatal onset (type B). Decreased cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of homovanillic acid and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol, with normal 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid cerebrospinal fluid concentrations, are the biochemical hallmark of tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency. The homovanillic acid concentrations and homovanillic acid/5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid ratio in cerebrospinal fluid correlate with the severity of the phenotype. Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency is almost exclusively caused by missense mutations in the TH gene and its promoter region, suggesting that mutations with more deleterious effects on the protein are incompatible with life. Genotype-phenotype correlations do not exist for the common c.698G>A and c.707T>C mutations. Carriership of at least one promotor mutation, however, apparently predicts type A tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency. Most patients with tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency can be successfully treated with l-dopa.

Bills Named to Junior All-America Team
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech men's golfer Gant Bills (Dallas, Texas) has been selected as a Rolex Junior All-American by the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) in conjunction with Rolex Watch U.S.A., Inc. Bills earned honorable mention honors.
Bills, a freshman this year, will travel to the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., for a banquet, held Nov. 24 along with the AJGA's Rolex Junior Classic golf championship Nov. 25-29. A total of 98 junior golfers were named to the 1997 Rolex Junior All-America teams from both boys and girls divisions.
"It's a great honor to receive this award," said Bills. "I'm excited to go to Florida for the banquet and the tournament. I'm also looking forward to playing in more tournaments for Texas Tech."
Bills earned the honor as a result of his strong performance during the past year in junior golf tournaments. He played in several events, including the AJGA Boys Junior Championship in Trophy Club, Texas, and was the tournament champion at the 1997 Texace AJGA San Antonio Shootout. In the AJGA West Texas Junior Championships in Abilene, Texas, Bills finished tied for 18th with a three round total of 214.
"Gant played very well in his first outing with our team," said head coach Tommy Wilson. "We were pleased that he came aboard this year. He,s a hard and dedicated worker both in the classroom and on the golf course. He's definitely going to be an asset to our team and is very deserving of this award."
The AJGA is dedicated to the development of young men and women through competitive junior golf, encompassing more than 3,800 junior golfers. The All-America awards were established in 1978 to recognize players who have distinguished themselves as the world,s premier junior golfers. The individuals are honored based on performances in some 60 national tournaments, 39 of which were conducted by the AJGA.GANT BILL'S 1997 ALL-AMERICA RESULTS

May 16, 2014
This week we received more good news on the academic front, as all of our teams once again scored well above the national cutoff standard of 930 in the latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) announced by the NCAA. Seventeen of our teams posted scores that were above the national average in their respective sports for the figures that cover the four-year period from the 2008-09 through 2012-13 school years. Our continued success in terms of our APR scores, coupled with the tremendous success we've enjoyed athletically over the four years that this report encompasses, shows that we are excelling at the highest level in all areas of our mission. Eight Crimson Tide teams ranked among the top three in their respective sports in the SEC. Baseball, men's and women's golf, soccer and women's tennis were all ranked No. 1, gymnastics was ranked No. 2 while football and men's outdoor track and field were ranked No. 3 in the league. There were 16 Alabama sports that either matched or exceeded their APR from the year before, including four teams - women's cross country, rowing, soccer and volleyball - that bettered their previous score by five points.
Our gymnastics program was honored this week when senior All-Americans and Scholastic All-Americans Sarah DeMeo, Kim Jacob and Diandra Millineradded NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships to their long list of accolades. These young ladies led the Crimson Tide to four top-four NCAA finishes (including back-to-back national titles in 2011 and 2012), accounted for two individual NCAA Championships, 23 All-American honors and nine Scholastic All-American accolades between them. They are the first class in Alabama gymnastics history to collect three of the prestigious scholarships , which are valued at $7,500 each. Alabama gymnasts have earned 18 NCAA postgraduate scholarships, the most of any program in the nation. The NCAA awarded only 29 postgraduate scholarships to women competing in the winter sports this year, and Alabama and Emory were the only schools to have three honorees. Additionally, Alabama was the only school to have three come from the same sport. There were five gymnasts among the 2014 winter recipients, with Sarah, Kim and Diandra making up more than half that total.
I was also pleased yesterday to learn that Alabama went a perfect eight-for-eight when it comes to the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District IV At-Large team this year. Schools are only allowed to nominate four men and four women for the prestigious honor, so this is an extraordinary accomplishment. We were the only school in our district to have all four of its nominees earn a place on the district list for both the men and the women and our honorees came from six different teams: men's golf (senior All-Americans Bobby Wyatt and Cory Whitsett) and gymnastics (senior All-American Kim Jacob and sophomore All-American Lauren Beers) both had two honorees. Our other Academic All-District winners included senior All-Americans Stephanie Meadow (women's golf), Mary Anne Daines(women's tennis), Daniil Proskura (men's tennis) and senior Brian Carr (men's swimming and diving).
Alabama had eight players selected in the 2014 NFL Draft, one shy of the Crimson Tide's modern-era record of nine draft selections, set in 1987 and matched in both 2012 and 2013 - meaning that 26 different Alabama players (more than the starting 11 from both side of the ball) have been drafted over the past three years alone. Alabama had two players selected in the first round last Thursday evening with linebacker C.J. Mosley starting things off as the No. 17 pick by the Baltimore Ravens. A few moments later, safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was selected by Green Bay with the 21st selection. The two first-round selections give Alabama 13 first round picks in the last four drafts. On Friday night in the second round, offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjiowas selected by the Buffalo Bills with the 44th overall pick. Kouandjio is the 21st Alabama player to be selected in the first or second round since the 2009 NFL Draft.
Over the past six NFL drafts, 16 Crimson Tide players have been selected in the first round and five in the second round. Receiver Kevin Norwood was the first off the board on Saturday, going to the Seattle Seahawks with the 23rd pick of the fourth round. Then, we had three of our players taken within eight picks of each other in the fifth round. Ed Stinson was selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the 20th pick of the fifth round, quarterback AJ McCarron came off the board just four picks later to the Cincinnati Bengals, and safety Vinnie Sunseri was taken with the 27th pick of the fifth round by the New Orleans Saints. Defensive lineman Jeoffrey Paganwas the final Alabama player selected on Saturday as the Houston Texans took him with the first pick of the sixth round.
In the last six NFL Drafts, Alabama has had 41 players selected, including 16 players in the first round, five in the second round and five more in the third round. The Crimson Tide has had more draft picks over the last five years (37), four years (30), three years (25) and two years (17) than any school in the country. Alabama also leads the nation in first-round draft picks in the last five years with 15. These stats reflect the tremendous job Coach Saban and his coaches have done in recruiting and developing football players at Alabama during his time here.
As an interesting side note, the 2012 Allstate Sugar Bowl between Alabama and LSU has produced an astounding 43 NFL Draft picks. Twenty-three Crimson Tide players from that 2011 national championship team have been drafted, including 15 of the 22 starters from that title game with five of the going in the first round.
Our men's and women's golf programs have firmly established themselves as perennial national contenders, while also producing model scholar-athletes who have been tremendous examples of our mission in action. Coach Jay Seawell and Coach Mic Potterhave built Hall of Fame careers by recruiting top talent, then molding and mentoring those young people, and fundamentally helping them reach their potential both on the course and in the classroom.
In previous blogs, I've told you at great length of the outstanding achievements of postgraduate scholarship recipients Stephanie Meadow and Cory Whitsett(the 2014 SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete of the Year). This week, I want to share with you some amazing information that I heard about recently. As of this writing, six of our golfers (four males, two females) are ranked among the top-75 amateur golfers in the world! Even more astounding, four of them rank among the top-10 amateurs on the planet!
On the men's side, Robby Shelton is the nation's No. 1-ranked college golfer and he ranks No. 7 in the current World Amateur Golf Rankings. Bobby Wyatt ranks No. 6 in the collegiate rankings and is the No. 17 amateur in the world. Trey Mullinax is currently No. 8 in the collegiate rankings and No. 62 in the world amateur rankings). Cory Whitsett is the No. 35-ranked collegiate player but is ranked No. 21 in the world amateur rankings. With the Tide women's team, Stephanie Meadow carries the Alabama banner (and the flag of her native Ireland) as the No. 4-ranked collegiate player and the No. 8-ranked amateur in the world, while Emma Talleyranks 17th in the world and 35th in the collegiate rankings. Emma is also the reigning United States Amateur champion and Stephanie was the 2012 Ladies British Amateur champion.
It also is worth noting what our men's program as a whole is in the midst of accomplishing. Over the past two seasons, Coach Seawell's team has won 15 of 20 tournaments and 20 of its 30 over three years, including an unprecedented 11 consecutive tournament titles at one point. That run includes winning three SEC titles, two NCAA regional titles and one NCAA title. Meanwhile the women's team has a 2012 NCAA title and a 2013 SEC title over the same period. Folks, that's the kind of consistent success that is reminiscent of Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan or Tiger Woods. It is simply amazing!
One of the little-known joys of working in college sports is the opportunity to work with and observe world-class talent on a regular basis. We are blessed to have that kind of talent in abundance at Alabama, and it spans the full spectrum of our sports from gymnastics to track and field to swimming to softball ... and on and on.
This week, six of our teams remain nationally ranked among the top 20 in their respective sports, including three ranked in the top five. As I said last week, we are in the midst of an impressive year across the board as eight of our 17 sports teams (four men's, four women's) either finished or are currently ranked in the top 10 nationally, and 11 of our 17 sports teams (six men's, five women's) either finished or are currently ranked in the top 20 nationally. Here's a glance at this week's rankings:
Men's Golf - 1st Women's Tennis - 2nd Softball - 5th Men's Track - 11th Women's Golf - 12th Baseball - 19th
We've reached "crunch time" in our spring sports season. With their win Thursday, our women's tennis team is among the final 8 teams competing at the NCAA Women's Tennis Championships in Athens, Ga., men's golf is at the NCAA Central Regional at Auburn, track and field is at the SEC Outdoor Championships in Lexington, Ky., our softball team is hosting an NCAA Regional at Rhoads Stadium on campus, baseball is hosting a crucial three-game series with Mississippi State at The Joe that will determine our seeding heading into the SEC Baseball Tournament. Next Tuesday, May 20, our women's golf team begins play at the NCAA Women's Golf Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
Our No.2-ranked WOMEN'S TENNIS team defeated No. 16 Notre Dame today by a 4-2 score in the round of 16 at the NCAA Women's Tennis Championships at Athens, Ga. With the victory, the Tide advances to take on 7th-seeded North Carolina in the round of eight on Saturday, May 17, at 12 p.m. ET (11 a.m. CT) at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex on the University of Georgia campus. The victory gives the Tide its first appearance in the NCAA's final eight. Luicelena Perezkeyed the win for us by picking up her 14th consecutive win at No. 6 singles. She overcame a 3-0 deficit in the second set to win 6-1, 6-4 over her opponent. Last weekend, we knocked off Jackson State and Princeton in front of outstanding home crowds to earn a spot in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, the team continues to earn honors for their outstanding season as Mary Anne Daines and Emily Zaborboth were recognized by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association as the organization released its regional award winners this week. Mary Anne was named the Southern Region Senior Player of the Year, while Emily took home ITA/Arthur Ashe, Jr. Sportsmanship & Leadership Award honors. Mary Anne is the 2014 Southeastern Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a two-time All-American. She is a three-time first team All-SEC selection and earned SEC Freshman of the Year and ITA Southern Region Rookie of the Year honors in 2011. She graduated summa cum laude in 3.5 years with a bachelor of science in education, majoring in human performance exercise science, all while holding a 4.000 cumulative undergraduate GPA. She is enrolled in a master's program in human environmental sciences majoring in sport management. Emily was a 2014 SEC All-Tournament Team selection and has been nationally ranked in both singles and doubles this season. Emily was voted this season's Team MVP by her teammates.
Coach Jenny Mainznotes that Emily's leadership is a major reason why the team has reached new heights this season, highlighted by a No. 2 national ranking and winning the SEC regular season title. Emily graduated in three years with a degree in commerce & business administration, majoring in marketing. She currently has a 4.0 cumulative GPA and has been a member of the President's List and Dean's List throughout her academic career. Emily also is the recipient of the Elite 89 Award for the 2014 NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championship. This is the second consecutive year she has won this relatively new award - and it is the third Elite 89 in a row for the Crimson Tide, as Mary Anne collected the honors in 2012. The Elite 89 Award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average, among those who are participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's championships.
Coach Patrick Murphy'sSOFTBALL team enters the 2014 NCAA Softball Tournament as the No. 2 overall seed, hosting South Alabama, USC Upstate and SIU Edwardsville this weekend. Three days of games will start on Friday. This marks the 10th consecutive year that Alabama has earned a hosting seed and it is the sixth time in the last seven years the Tide have been ranked in the top four. We're one of only 10 schools with an active NCAA Tournament appearance streak of at least 16 years. Joining us this weekend at Rhoads Stadium will be South Alabama (40-12), South Carolina Upstate (45-7) and SIU Edwardsville (30-21). South Carolina Upstate will play South Alabama at 3:30 p.m. CT on Friday with Alabama playing SIU Edwardsville at 6 p.m. The regional tournament uses a double-elimination format, so the game times Saturday are set for 1 p.m. (if we win our first game), 3:30 (if we lose our first game), and 7 p.m. (an elimination game). Sunday's game times are 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Our WOMEN'S GOLF team finished second at the NCAA Central Regional Championship last weekend in Oklahoma to advance to the NCAA Championships. Despite fielding a new lineup, Coach Mic Potter's team was runner-up to regional champion UCLA. The Tide's newly-aligned group responded with a strong showing. Sophomore Emma Talley had her best finish of the season with a top-five finish and senior Stephanie Meadowalso placed in the top 10. Alabama now has advanced to the NCAA Championships for the 10th time in our history and the ninth time in nine seasons under Coach Potter. The Crimson Tide has posted top-10 finishes at the NCAA championships for the past four years, including winning the NCAA title in 2012. The NCAA Women's Golf Championships will take place at the Tulsa (Okla.) Country Club on May 20-23.
The BASEBALL team remains ranked 19th nationally this week and is 33-20 overall after a loss to No. 16 Mississippi State last night and splitting two games at LSU last weekend and getting a 15-10 win at Jacksonville State on Tuesday night. Hats off to pitcher Justin Kamplain, who was outstanding in a complete-game performance last Saturday night in a 5-1 victory at LSU. Justin went the distance in just 98 pitches, allowing four hits with three strikeouts without walking a single batter. In fact, our starting pitchers went the distance in both games as Spencer Turnbull was the hard-luck losing pitcher in the first game of the series, a 2-0 loss. A pair of two-run home runs from Ben Moore and Georgie Salemhighlighted the victory in the second game. Bad weather prevented the teams from completing the series on Sunday.
The SEC race is incredibly tight heading into the final weekend of the regular season. There simply isn't enough space here to summarize all of the possibilities of where we could end up in the standings or what that will do to our seeding for the upcoming SEC Tournament. However, here are a few things to keep in mind: the Tide entered the Mississippi State series in fourth in the SEC Western Division and seventh in the overall SEC standings, 2.5 games behind West Division leader Ole Miss. With a 14-12 mark in SEC play, we have secured a spot in the SEC Baseball Tournament and can finish no lower than 10th in the overall standings. If things break right, we can finish with a much higher seed in the SEC Baseball Tournament.
Coach Dan Waters' TRACK & FIELD team competes at the SEC Outdoor Championships this weekend. Our men's team is ranked 11th in the latest edition of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I National Team Computer Rankings. The Crimson Tide remains third in the men's rankings for the NCAA South Region, while the women maintained their No. 5 rank in the region. Alabama athletes rank among the nation's top 20 in 8 events and two Tide athletes currently own the SEC's best time or mark in their events - Diondre Batson (men's 100, 10.01) and Elias Hakansson(men's hammer, 71.38 meters/234 feet, 2 inches). The SEC is, by far, the nation's finest track and field conference. Nine of the nation's top 25 ranked men's teams are from the SEC while eight of the top 25 women's teams come from our conference. Dan's program has come far in three years. Keep an eye on this team as it could be on course for a solid SEC showing in both divisions, but could have an even higher team finish at the NCAA meet in June.
There are several ways to follow our teams in action. The methods vary according to the sport, but here's where you can follow our teams via TV, radio or online:

Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro may start shipping in late September in the UK
A week ago we told you that the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro (the similarly-named successor to the Xperia X10 Mini Pro) was delayed in the UK, with its release expected to happen sometime during the fourth quarter of this year, most likely in October. That information was based on the Carphone Warehouse listing of the Xperia Pro, which had October noted as the projected release time frame.
Those of you who are eager to buy an Xperia Pro in the UK may be in luck though, for the device may just start shipping a bit earlier. The Xperia Pro has showed up on Sony Ericsson's UK site, and the manufacturer is expecting to have it available in its online store in late September.
Now that may mean that Sony Ericsson's online shop will have some Xperia Pro stock a bit before everyone else in the UK, or it may also mean that the delay has gotten smaller than what it initially expected it to be. Either way, there's still a lot of waiting to do if you want this handset.
The price that Sony Ericsson asks for the Xperia Pro is £349.99. Of course that will net you an unlocked, SIM-free smartphone.

Icing their "A" team, the Detroit Red Wings still needed a shootout to defeat the "B" team of the Chicago Blackhawks Sunday night, picking up a 4-3 victory in the tiebreaker.
Todd Bertuzzi scored a highlight-reel goal and Henrik Zetterberg added another with only Brandon Pirri scoring for Chicago.
Detroit had led 2-0 and 3-1 but the Blackhawks rallied both times.
Valtteri Filppula opened the game's scoring, snapping a shot from the high slot past Alexander Salak on a Detroit power play at 7:35 of the first period.
Zetterberg made it 2-0 with 47 seconds left in the period, snapping a shot over Salak from in close off a feed from Johan Franzen.
Pirri scored his first of two goals shorthanded at 7:32 of the second, blasting a shot from the top of the left circle past Ty Conklin, off the post and in.
Nicklas Lidstrom made it 3-1 with Detroit's second power play goal of the night just 1:23 later. Just as a five-on-three expired, he took a pass at the top of the right faceoff circle from Ian White and rifled it past Salak.
Jimmy Hayes pulled the Hawks to back within one with 3:59 left in the middle period, beating Conklin from right in front after being left all alone to take a pass from Ben Smith.
Pirri tied the game at 9:33 of the third, capitalizing on a Brendan Smith turnover. Smith gave the puck up to Hayes in the right circle who worked it on to Pirri in the slot for a shot past Conklin.
The Red Wings are next in action on Tuesday night when they're in Grand Rapids for their second Red & White game of the preseason. The next night they'll be in Chicago for a rematch with the Blackhawks.
Notes: Detroit lost forward Jan Mursak to a fractured ankle when he crashed awkwardly into the boards in the second period. He is expected to miss two months.
After the first night off of the preseason, the exhibitions continue tonight as the Red Wings host the Chicago Blackhawks. This one's televised (FSD/NHLN-US) but I won't be posting much as this is my first game of the season. I'll tweet and post what I can.
Khan has today's lineup...
Filppula - Zetterberg - Franzen
Miller - Abdelkader - Bertuzzi
Nyquist - Emmerton - Brunnstrom
Conner - Andersson - Mursak
Lidstrom - White
Ericsson - Kindl
Smith - Commodore
I assume McCollum will be in for the third period, his first preseason action.
I'll be trying out my new camera today, so hopefully there will be good pics to share later.

Manufacturer: Pessoa (View all products by Pessoa)
Model: Legacy XP (View all Legacy XP reviews)
Category: Jumping Saddles
Purchase: I wanted a saddle that was lightweight, easy to maintain, and had a great warrenty on it. I purchased this saddle from Dover Saddlery. I paid $1620.00 for this saddle.
Likes: This saddle is designed by a world champion jumper, named Nelson Pessoa. These saddles are built on a sculpted steel tree, that has a 100 year warrenty! This saddle could be passed down in the will! This saddle is well balanced and puts you into a great foward jumping position with ease. This saddle conforms well to both my AQHA and my TB mare. It is in a beautiful multipurpose havana color. This stitching detail on this saddle is BEAUTIFUL!
Dislikes: I did not enjoy paying for this saddle. It is a little spendy, but it makes a good investment.
Quality: Latex molded panels make this saddle super smooth. It has thinker panals than the original, and a slightly wider channel for a more confortable ride for both rider and horse. This saddle contains soft caldskin. It comes in many sizes, and is made with a medium or wide tree. So this saddle could fit your narrower tbs or your wider warmbloods.
Summary: I bought this saddle, bacause I needed a great saddle that I could depend on. I wanted one that looked great on many different horse, and one that would catch the judges eye. I achieved all these things by purchasing this saddle, and if I won the lottery, I would buy tons of these, just to look at. The quality and beauty of the leather they choose to make these saddles with is magnificant.

Restoring the Chelsea wetland has several benefits. By removing the unnatural soil in Chelsea Wetland, the water storage capacity will increase by four feet, thus helping to reduce flooding in nearby neighborhoods, as happened in Pinole in 2006. This is particularly important to the communities of Chelsea by the Bay and Hercules by the Bay.
A healthy wetland also prevents pollutants from running into the bay. Ecologists call wetlands "the kidney" of the ecosystem because of the natural cleansing functions they perform. They do this by retaining sediments and toxic pollutants attached to the sediments. Wetland plants also reduce algae blooms and fish kills.
Restoring the Chelsea WetlandCurrently, the Chelsea Wetland turns dry and brown in the summer. A healthy wetland and creek would cycle water year round, providing a place for wildlife. Native vegetation would return naturally or be reintroduced. Some of the current goals of the restoration project include:
The City of Hercules has committed to reviewing the county's work on flood control to make sure that we are protected and that future efforts will not aggravate what is currently in place.
2012 UpdateLast year, the City of Hercules finalized grant agreements with the California Natural Resources Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency and Association of Bay Area Governments. In all, the Chelsea Wetlands Project has recieved several grants: $1.83 million from the Proposition 84 is the California River Parkways Program; $145,000 from the Green Infill Clean storm Water Initiative (EPA/ABAG), $56,200 from the Contra Costa County Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund and $40,000 from the San Francisco Foundation. The City of Hercules has also contributed $128,000, bringing the project total to over $2.1 million.
In Februrary of 2012, the City solicited Request For Proposals for CEQA and Permit Regulatory Compliance for for the project. A Request For Proposals for Final Engineering Design will also be made available in February.
The list of all grant recipients can be found on the Natural Resources Agency Website at: http://www.resources.ca.gov/.
How you can helpThe City of Hercules and their consultants have presented plans and answered question on the Chelsea Wetlands Restoration at community workshops sponsored by The Friends of Pinole Creek Watershed. And the Chelsea by the Bay Homeowners Association has been actively involved with the City on this Project. Community involvement is a critical component of success for projects like this.

That was the only way Barrett could describe the entire situation taking place in what he thought was the peaceful city of Pawsville. Humans and dogs alike were being terrorized by aggressive angry strays, calling for liberation from under "oppressive" human rule.
He sat in front of the television; honey brown eyes staring at the news report flashing on the screen as his right hand idly scratched the ears of the small black terrier sleeping in his lap. Having little Bay Bay with him was the only thing making this situation better, the thought of her not lost and alone on the streets being a rather comforting one. Fate had deemed it proper for them both to find each other before the hell storm truly broke loose, and for that he was thankful.
Checking his watch, he made a face before shaking Bay Bay a bit with his hand, "Ey, Bay Baby, its time to get up! We gotta get goin' girl!". At his touch, the dog stirred a little, looking up at him with that fluff covered face. Patting her head, he set her on the ground and rose from his seat, "Gotta stock up on supplies remember? Things prolly gonna get real ugly around here and we'll need all the necessities we can manage to get a hold of, ya know! Dunno how long this thing'll last and I'm not about to let myself starve or some other nonsense just 'cuz all the strays decided to undergo their period at the same time".
The look of confusion on the dog's face was enough for him to realize she probably didn't know what a period was…."Er….that'll be a story for another time" And cough followed, "Let's get out of here, yeah?"
After about fifteen minutes, Barrett opened his apartment door to the outside, slipping on his shades. It was late afternoon and the streets were mostly empty….save for the strays running a muck around town. But he wasn't at all worried. He had his wooden bat…that suspiciously had blood stains on it that he was sure he didn't put there, several cans of mace strapped to his belt, a tazer cleverly disguised as an Mp3 player, his roller skates, and most importantly, Bay Bay. Currently, she was nestled to his chest in a doggie carrier, much resembling those humans used to carry around babies while at the same time keeping their hands free.
It would have made for a precious sight if it weren't for the seriousness of the situation in general.
"Ready to go, Bay Baby?"
The dog licked under his chin in response. Of course she was ready, they'd been cooped up in the house for Lord knows HOW long. "Let's try to get back home without any scratches, bites, or oozing wounds, Alright?"
As if on some sort of unseen cue, snarls and growls were heard all around as strays began to emerge from every direction. The little dog snarled in response, wriggling in her carrier as Barrett's eyes narrowed behind his shades. Tightening his grip on the bat, he bumped the sports tool-turned-lethal weapon against his right skate, fixing the closest dog with the most neutral look he could muster.
Things were about to go down.
I WAS going to draw something for the event, but I didn't really have the time! So have a nice little drabble of B.J.and his doggie companion, Bay Bay about to head out for some grocery shopping! Its sure to be a blast right? RIGHT???
I'll be sure to try to draw something ahead of time for the next event, hahahahah <3
Bay Bay belongs to
Story and Barrett are mine

Kathleen Pielech and Patricia Reed, two workers whom the league defended when they were fired for not going to work on Christmas Day, have notified us that the law which would forever bar this practice from happening again was made retroactive, thus giving them the desired protection. The league had filed an amicus brief on their behalf.
However, Pielech isn't satisfied and will now seek even further justice under the new law by taking her employer to task for what happened.

As I'm sure most of you might have seen, last Thursday the 2014 World Cup in Brazil kicked off as the host nation took on Croatia and defeated the Vatreni, 3-1. With 11 games played over the weekend, much of the hype all weekend in the United States was the start of the Red, White and Blue's World Cup campaign Monday versus Ghana at 4 p.m. Central. For those not familiar with U.S. Soccer, the contest is a rematch of the 2010 World Cup Round of 16 where Ghana defeated the "Yanks", 2-1 in extra time.
What does the World Cup and U.S. Soccer have to do with #NIUSocialSummer? It's really simple actually. NIU Athletics has two connections to the U.S. Soccer Federation, one current and one former.
Currently, NIU men's soccer Associate Head Coach Garrett Biller is a scout in the United States Soccer Federation's Development Academy where he performs player identification and training evaluations for U.S. Youth National Teams.
In the former, NIU Hall of Famer Willy Roy, who served as the Head Coach of the men's soccer program for 16 years between 1987 and 2002, played for the U.S. National Team between 1965 and 1973. In his time at NIU, Roy posted a 142-131-22 record and is the all-time leader in victories. Roy earned 20 caps (games played) for the United State's, scoring 10 goals for the Red, White and Blue, the most by a U.S. Soccer player between 1973 and 2002. In honor of the United States Soccer Federation's 100th anniversary, the 11 best players in federation history were selected. Though Roy was not named to the all-time XI, he did receive a vote for the squad. Roy is also a member of the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame.
For more on Roy, take a peak at these articles below, including a photo gallery.
With the World Cup getting underway on Thursday in Brazil, it seemed like a good time for #NIUSocialSummer to take a look at Huskie Athletics' international connections to this year's World Cup competitors.
Using the 2013-14 NIU rosters, EIGHT of the 31 World Cup countries outside of the U.S. are represented by 15 student-athletes from nine different Huskie programs.
The World Cup countries represented by Huskies (number of student-athletes in parens): France (4), England (3), Spain (2), Mexico (2), Croatia (1), Bosnia and Herzegovina (1), Germany (1), Columbia (1).

Global Feast
Without treatment, most children with severe haemophilia will die young. An estimated 400,000 people worldwide are living with haemophilia. 75% of people with bleeding disorders throughout the world are undiagnosed and untreated, particularly where health care is not well resourced. The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) is striving to close this gap. Australia is one of the "lucky" countries where people with haemophilia receive high quality care and treatment.
You are invited to be an official Global Feast host. Invite your family, friends and work colleagues to a meal and ask them to bring a donation instead of flowers, wine or a gift. If a dinner isn't your "cup of tea", any type of festive event will do a pancake breakfast, pizza party, backyard barbeque, afternoon tea or picnic lunch. Do it at home, or meet in the park! Be creative and have fun!
Global Feast benefits people around the world with bleeding disorders. All monies are donated directly to WFH with funds spent on providing safe and effective blood treatment products free of charge to people in urgent need in more than 50 developing countries and programs, services, educating families and training doctors and nurses in some of the poorest regions of the world. For more information on WFH programs and services visit www.wfh.org.

Hope in Zimbabwe comes in small packages
Ten-year-old Mthandazo Ian Bhebhe is like every other child, except he needs haemophilia treatment and often goes without it. Bhebhe lives in Zimbabwe, a country devastated by civil, political and economic turmoil. Life expectancy is less than 40 years, according to recent UN estimates. Most children with haemophilia in the country remain undiagnosed and untreated. They do not live beyond their teenage years. Yet, there is hope for Bhebhe. He has a world of people who care for him, the haemophilia community.
Recently Bhebhe fell at school and injured his knee, which swelled to the size of a large grapefruit. Without available treatment, doctors gave Bhebhe morphine for three weeks and considered amputating his leg. WFH responded quickly by delivering donations of blood treatment products to the Zimbabwean National Blood Transfusion Service, which determined that Bhebhe was the patient in most need of treatment. Within days, Bhebhe was able to walk using crutches. The week after receiving proper treatment, he went home. Although he continues to need crutches,
Bhebhe is able to walk on his own from home to the bus stop and make his way to school.
