This week's team development feature focuses on improving offensive output through a series of high-intensity shooting drills and team plays. Led by Salisbury University men's lacrosse coach Jim Berkman, the following drills focus on dodging techniques, shooting on the move, accuracy, and getting a lot of reps in a short period of time. To finish up, we'll reveal five offensive plays from the Salisbury playbook that have paid dividends for the squad in recent years. Then look for ways to incorporate these effective plays with your own squad as well.
Hitch and Shoot – In this drill, one player will throw across for the shooter, who makes a little hitch move, quick sweep, and then shoots on cage. You should be looking to a get a good hitch every time, aiming to freeze the defenders. Try to get from 13 to 11, i.e. shooting the ball inside 11 yards after the hitch move.
Dodge, Hitch, and Shoot – This is similar to our previous drill where the passer dishes to the shooter across. The shooter then catches the ball, hitches, dodges, and fires it on cage.
Roll Back Catch and Go – This particular drills works out of Salisbury's "22 offense." Try to implement this drill on both the right and left sides of the field. Here's how it works. The shooter comes across to the middle of the field, receives a pass, sprints straight for about five yards, makes a quick stutter step, and then shoots it on the run.
Roll Back, Catch, and Step Out – This is a three-man drill that reinforces Salisbury's offense. The ball moves around the horn until a player makes a little step-out move and then releases a shot on the run.
Wing Dodge and Roll Back – This drill mimics the situation when you are driving down the side and make a dodge to try to get back to the high side. Practicing stepping away from the defender and getting your hands free. It's key to practice this so it becomes second nature in a game. Run this drill on the right and left sides — even at the same time.
Check out these effective offensive plays from Salisbury's playbook and see how you can incorporate certain elements with your own squad this season.
23 – It all begins with a hard wing dodge and the ball swings to X. Next, there's an option for an ISO from the wing. You can then swing it to the backside and get an effective pick for a quick-hitter coming off the backside. The player that picks should open to the ball.
24– The key to this play is picking the picker on the inside. Swing the ball to X, bang it right back, and then look inside for a shot.
25 – The "25" play involves a double pick for a lefty coming off. Then there's a re-pick on the inside for a curl. If nothing develops from those looks, you can take those guys to the ball side and swing to the backside for an ISO centering on the middie stepping off the crease.
Bishop – The key here is a wing undercut and backdoor option for a player who's opening up the backside.
Bluejay – Finally, with "Bluejay", there's a double invert behind and you can make it look like you're setting a pick with an attackman and swinging it to the backside. You then have a pick-the-picker play available on the crease.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "How to Create a Great Shooter and Individual Player" featuring Salisbury coach Jim Berkman. To find more shooting videos, check out our extensive lacrosse catalog.
Looking to make your practices more efficient and effective? Wondering what it takes to get the most out of your players? Salisbury men's head lacrosse coach Jim Berkman reveals seven practice tips and two essential drills that should pay major dividends for your program. Coach Berkman and his coaching staff have implemented these drills and tips with great success for more than 20 years. Last year, Salisbury captured its ninth NCAA Division III national championship.
1) Have Fun – Salisbury's style of practices reflect this. Aim to go out and enjoy yourselves each day so that you'll want to come back the next.
2) Get Your Guys Excited to Come Back – Leave practice thinking you can't wait to be back on the field tomorrow. To do that, players need to enjoy being out there, the developing relationships, the drills you run, and the style of play you implement to keep it fun.
3) Development and Improvement – Each day, Salisbury looks to set up numerous individual drills at the beginning of practice to help develop players into complete players. Whether it's shooting, footwork, or stick skills, we want to see them improving their skills so they can become better players and a better team overall.
4) Intensity – Try to play hard all the time. Simulate game-like intensity in every practice. The only way for this to happen is if you are fit, playing a high-paced style, and moving quickly from one drill to the next with no down time.
5) Play Fast – The Seagulls look to play fast in every drill they do. A major goal is trying to move the ball and create a pace that opponents aren't used to playing and to take teams out of their comfort zone. To do this in a game, you must do it every day and for 120 minutes in that two-hour practice segment.
6) Repetition – Practices should be game-like where players get numerous touches to repeat situations within the offensive or defensive game. This allows the players to improve and develop over the course of a season.
7) Develop a Core of Drills – For Salisbury, this has been in the works for more than 20 years. While this may be constantly modified and changed over the years, this core of drills should be known by every player to eliminate down time. When you go from one drill to the next, you don't want to go more than 15 seconds by the time the next drill starts. To do that, players must know the drills and get to them quickly.
This team drill reinforces ground balls, rolling away from pressure, redirecting the ball, and keeping the stick to the outside. One at a time, players quickly scoop up the ground ball after it's been rolled out from a coach. After picking it up, players sprint one direction before turning around and moving the opposite direction and passing to a teammate nearby or behind. Players need to be always looking up the field during a ground ball situation and find that outlet pass.
The Breakout Drill reinforces breaking out wide, redirecting passes, making accurate up and over passes, and cutting. It's key to get to your spots on a save or any unsettled situation. We want the two bottom defenders to get wide, arc out looking for the ball (slightly behind the goal line), look up the field, redirect across the field, and then look to a third man up the field for the third pass. It's key to get your players to the right spots on the field during unsettled situations or saves. If the redirect is done correctly, usually you have an easy clear up the opposite side of the field.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "30 Essential Practice Drills for Lacrosse" with Jim Berkman. To check out more practice drills, simply head over to our lacrosse library.
Jim Berkman and the Salisbury University men's lacrosse team has advanced to the 2010 NCAA Division III Championship game by defeating Stevenson University 14-13 in overtime. Salisbury will face Tufts University in the national championship game on May 30 at M & T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD. This marks Salisbury's fourth championship game in five years.
We have recently released two new lacrosse DVDs featuring Jim Berkman! The new DVDs are titled 30 Essential Practice Drills for Lacrosse and How to Become a Great Shooter and Individual Player.
Jim Berkman is the Head Lacrosse Coach at Salisbury University. Berkman, the all-time winningest coach in NCAA men's lacrosse history, is entering the 2010 season with an overall record of 346-40 (90%)! He has guided the Sea Gulls to 21 straight NCAA Tournaments, 8 NCAA Championships, and 15 Capital Athletic Conference Championships. Berkman has been named the Division III National Coach of the Year twice and has coached 8 National Players of the Year.

Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Program in Dance
The MFA program in dance is currently undergoing revision and is closed to admission.
The Conservatory of Dance is one of only a handful of colleges in the world capable of preparing students for the rigors of the professional dance world. The individual attention of the faculty, the superb facilities, the proximity to New York City, and the intriguing balance of artists in the music, theatre design/technology, and visual arts graduate programs provide a stimulating atmosphere for the mature student.
The MFA program in dance is a rigorous 60-credit course of study that offers conservatory training in the master-apprentice tradition. The program contains two closely allied and interrelated tracks: choreography and performance/teaching. Throughout this two-year professional training program, the candidate researches and develops a strong sense of personal artistic identity as a performing artist or choreographer.
A central component and driving force of both curricula is the choreology sequence of courses. This holistic examination of choreography as a branch of knowledge or field of research—exploring the related history, design, music, theatre, and visual arts and the social and political pressures through which specific masterworks emerged—informs the choreographer and performer. In the context of this study, students in both tracks present their choreography or perform each semester.
MFA students have their own "office" in the Dance Building, fully equipped with computers, video and sound playback, and a graduate seminar/studio room. Their performances are presented in the Dance Theatre Lab in the Dance Building or in the Performing Arts Center on campus. In class, out of class, and all across the campus, MFA students in dance will discover virtually limitless opportunities to interact with musicians, theatre designers, and visual artists pursuing their graduate degrees.
The Conservatory of Dance awards rehearsal, administrative, or teaching assistantships to help defray the cost of tuition and other expenses.

Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 19 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Gman Very Satisfied I am a karate player of 40+ years of training and my knees take a lot of abuse. After training my knees have been getting a little tender behind the knee cap. Since wearing these for the past 2 months, my pain has subsided. I am very happy with the support and comfort that these give me. My only negative is that they wrinkle in the back behind the knee. However, this does not cause any discomfort. I am just a little OCD about things like that. Over all I am very satisfied. October 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cfish Fantastic Best Support I have gotten so far. Love the Knee brace. October 11, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by McKaty Better Options Product is well build but is meant for a person that is not going to move a lot. Tried using at work while pushing dolly but brace always worked it's way down & ended up around ankles. I am a grandpa & just playing catch with grandkids had to keep pulling up. Save your money & look for better option. October 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by wiscorpio53 Great Support w/Minimal Restriction I needed something lighter and not as aggressive or movement restricting as my current knee support in my comeback from a knee sprain. After much research online, I targeted the Pro-Tec Gel-Force Knee Support and have been very pleased with the product. It offers great stability and support for my knee with nearly no restrictions in basic knee/leg movement. It is light and the gel knee circle pad provides extra protection for the kneecap area. I have used this knee support in my pickleball play and doing yardwork. I highly recommend this product - size used is Large. October 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by BLDS98 Good support Very good support around the knee cap area. I've had ACL and Meniscus surgery on the left knee and I need ACL surgery on the right knee. I wear these on both knees...Very good support and cushion. July 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by IREWOULFE Comfort and support in one. I ordered this to support a knee that I had re-injured 11 years after surgery. My original brace type (open patellar/knee cap) was very uncomfortable. This supports, compresses and is comfortable to wear as the gel ring prevents movement of the brace down the leg. I would recommend that you order the next size up as I measured for a large and required an X-large for proper fit. Great item. June 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by HarleyD57 Keep it Healthy I have a size 16 knee and I bought the large. I wear mine about ten hours a day and my knee is gaining strength and health. As the day progresses the brace gets more and more comfortable and gives me a complete range of mobility. My other knee feels naked and plan on ordering another just to make sure my good knee stays healthy. June 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by J Give your best This knee support is excellent for my knee. This gives well stability and nice compression. Now I can go to the soccer field without any fear. Good job Pro-Tec Gel-Force Knee Support! May 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by yoyo16 knee sprain 3 weeks later best knee support dicks have right now specially 4 knee sprain customers like myself March 31, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Leeches1 Good product bad size options I bought a large as this was the biggest size available and was really impressed with this brace. I have had twosurgeriesmon my right knee and was excited to use the brace. Problem is I am in need of an XL and have been waiting patiently for this size to appear. Now I am getting frustrated to not see the size I require. Guess I will need to look for other options! I would recommend this to anyone that requires a medium or large. Very disappointed that there is no XL. March 4, 2015

What are the answers?February 05,2013
What are the answers?
Does the mayor know how to use email?
I have politely and courteously sent emails to Mayor Thomas Lauzon over the past three weeks. I have yet to receive a response from him. If perhaps someone in his office reads this, would you give the mayor a quick tutorial on email? Thank you.
The two questions I am still waiting for him to answer for me are:
What would indicate an illegal sale in a parking lot that would draw the attention of your police? Would they check on every sidewalk sale of a vehicle or motorcycle? Would they run over to verify every sale or trade of cigarettes between two people to make sure theyre of age? Are they going to talk to everybody looking at and admiring a firearm in the parking lot? Seems almost like harassment of law-abiding citizens.
What is the ordinance you referred to? I read through the ordinances listed on the city of Barres home page, and didnt find anything relevant.
Again, as stated in my email, Im not one of your citizens but do travel through Barre quite often. I would appreciate the courtesy of a response to my emails.

If you were lucky enough to have family dinners growing up as a child you probably remember family check in. Each person goes around the table and say's what happened during your day. As a young child or teenager you might have disliked this daily check in.
As a parent you probably cherish this time of day because this maybe the only time you can get full sentences out of your child's mouth. So, how do you get your child to tell you about their day?
1. Start young. Get into the habit of sharing your day with your child. They are never too young to start this practice. Even if they are 1 or 2 years old and in the repeating stages of their lives. Ask the questions "Did you have fun?" The replay may only be "have fun". It's getting into the habit of communicating with you. Make a big deal about their day and how it is interesting for you.
2. Schedule the Time: We all know life can get pretty busy. If family dinners are not on the menu then bring your check in time at the end of the day. No matter how busy your life is, you can find ten minutes to check in with your child and see how their lives are going.
3. Create Guidelines: Let your child know why it's important to hear about their day. Let them know one word answers is not enough and that you want to hear more than "I don't know". Let them know you care by setting expectations for communication. For example, when we pick up our daughter from school we say "I can't wait to hear about your day".
4. Watch for the signs. Be aware that sometimes your child might have troubling times at school or even at home. Pick up on the signals if it something they don't want to talk about with multiple people around. Circle back later in the day when you have some one on one time with them and try addressing the issue again.
5. End on a positive note. It's a great idea to end the meal or your talk with "hopes of tomorrow". This will teach your child to have a positive outlook and to set goals for what they want in the future. It will also give you a closer look into what they like and don't like. And help you keep on top of what's current in their lives.

I clip the watch to a belt loop and it's as easy to read as a dial on my arm. Ended my annoyance with wristwatches catching on pockets, knocking against random objects, scratching my laptop's palm rest, and getting in the way when typing. As a plus, the red LED flashlight is quite bright and always ready for use.

Stanford Football : UCLA Press Conference
STANFORD, Calif. - Add catching passes to Andrew Luck's growing legend.
The Stanford quarterback and Heisman Trophy hopeful has been known for throwing touchdown passes, blasting through defenders, and even breaking long touchdown runs. Now? How about making one-handed catches?
Luck did so on the Cardinal's first drive, taking a throw down the sideline from receiver Drew Terrell on a flea flicker. The catch, at first ruled an incompletion but reversed upon review, led to Stanford's first score in a 45-19 victory over UCLA before a soldout Stanford Stadium on Saturday night.
Luck would do much more than that, completing 23-27 passes for 227 yards, throwing three touchdown passes and no interceptions as Stanford increased the nation's longest winning streak to 11 games.
"There's about five posistions the guy can play - receiver, tight end, outside linebacker," said David Shaw, Stanford's Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football/Head Coach. "We kind of like what he does at quarterback. But I'll tell you what, we just put him in a position to make plays and he never disappoints."
The Cardinal truly is standing in rarified air, with a No. 6 AP ranking, a 4-0 record and a 2-0 Pac-12 mark heading into a contest with visiting Colorado next Saturday. Stanford is one victory away from tying the longest winning streak in school history, one that dates back to the Vow Boys of 1939-41.
Stanford has never trailed this season, and still hasn't. Barely. But a goal-line stand in the game's early moments may have been the game's turning point.
With first-and-goal from the 4 on its opening drive, UCLA was stuff by (in order) Trent Murphy, Jarek Lancaster, and Chase Thomas and Matt Masifilo.
With fourth down at the 2, UCLA shunned a field-goal try and went for it, sending quarterback Richard Brehaut up the gut after a play fake, only to be stonewalled by Delano Howell and A.J. Tarpley at the 1.
"We got stopped on the 1," UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said. "We've got to get it in."
Stanford then embarked on a 99-yard drive that took 16 plays and 8:08 off the clock, converting three third down tries along the way. The drive set the tone for Stanford, which effectively used its' preferred a ball-control style the rest of the way.
"It was huge," Shaw said of the goal-line stand. "You know, when it happened, just for a split second I flashed back to my time in Baltimore (with the NFL's Ravens). Ray Lewis used to always say, `Opportunity for greatness. Ball's on the 1-yard line, it's an opportunity for greatness.' Our guys stepped up to the challenge."
Though Stanford showed cracks defensively, its offense was typically efficient. Besides Luck, Stepfan Taylor ran for 112 yards on 17 carries and scored two touchdowns.
Tight end Coby Fleener caught two touchdown passes, each in memorable fashion, on his way to a four-catch, 78-yard performance.
And time of possession, the supreme indicator of Stanford's offensive strength, resulted in a 34:17-25:43 advantage.
"We talk all the time about efficiency," Shaw said. "When Bill Walsh put the West Coast offense together, we talked about being efficient, gaining ground every single play."
The tight ends continued to maintain their productivity. Of Stanford's 12 touchdown passes this season, nine have gone to tight ends. The Cardinal frequently had three tight ends on the field, often all lined up wide, and produced a variety of looks that ranged fro three backs in the backfield, no backs on short yardage, to Wildcat formations and flea flickers.
Though tight end Zach Ertz had his touchdown streak ended at six games, Fleener made up for it with the quality of his touchdown catches. On Stanford's opening score, Fleener made a one-handed grab in the end zone with a defender on his back to complete an 18-yard play.
He gave the Cardinal a 24-7 third-quarter lead when he got behind the defense on a deep pass and outran the secondary to the end zone on a 51-yard play.
UCLA closed to within 17-7 at the end of the first half and 24-13 early in the third. But the game seemed to turn Stanford's way for good when freshman Ty Montgomery blasted UCLA punt returner Taylor Embree, causing a fumble, and recovered it himself on an attempted scoop-and-score.
Given the ball at the UCLA 34-yard line, Stanford struck again. At the 16, Stanford lined up in the Wildcat formation and the ball was snapped directly to Tyler Gaffney, who ran up the middle for a touchdown and a 31-13 lead with 2:43 left in the third quarter.
The Bruins answered back with a score - missing their second extra-point try of the night - to close to within 31-19 on Josh Smith's seven-yard run with 13:21 left, but Stanford countered with Taylor's second touchdown run, this one from 1 yard with 10:22 to go.
But, afterward, most of the attention was given to a 13-yard catch.
"I just tried to put my hands up there and catch the ball," Luck said. "And hope I had a foot inbounds."
He did. And, for Luck and undefeated Stanford, it appears more memories await.
-- David Kiefer, Stanford Athletics

At the appropriate location (on the page for which you want to change the numbering format), you could redefine the numbering of the counter

I want a ninetails in my team but I'm not sure what moves to teach it. Apart from the usual learnable moves, my vulpix (newly breeded--lv 5 at the moment) also has hypotise and faint attack after I crossed it with some other pokemon. Poochyena, I think. So you can recommend those two moves for my Ninetails too if you think that they are good.
Please also say what stats I should train it in and what nature it should have too! I'm no newbie at playing pokemon, but I still have zero idea how to find good moves. Mainly my attack strategy is brute force. Hopeless, aren't I?
I'll really appreciate everyone's help! Thanks!
