"Hidden in Plain Sight" features new paintings by Washington D.C.'s Christopher Baer.
According to a press release by the gallery, Baer's work is often created on large canvases.
His "Palisades" series, featured in the exhibit at Page Bond Gallery, "explore the relationships of color, line and the materiality of paint."
Baer's work is a "unique interpretation of expressionist and color field work" and each piece shows a record of its creation for the viewer.
"Because of this sense of participation, each animated brush stroke and application of paint feels like our own," Page Bond Gallery says of the artist's work. "As joyful explorations of color, brushwork and line, his bold canvasses convey a contagious sense of exuberance and optimism."
"Hidden in Plain Sight" will be on view through Saturday, March 29.
Page Bond Gallery is located at 1625 West Main Street, and can be reached at 804/ 359-3633. Gallery hours are Tuesdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Op-Ed means an opposing editorial, Ron Chrisite has an interesting take:
2008 Wasn't an Omen. 2010 Was.
While gleeful reports abound that the G.O.P. is disorganized, dispirited and headed to defeat in November, facts have a way of ruining this rosy narrative for the Democrats. Observing Democrats and their supporters in the media (like the author of the New York magazine article), one would think President Obama has already been re-elected – and the actual voting is nothing more than a formality.
Despite such cheerleading, Democrats, not Republicans, should be worried about their prospects this election cycle. One need not look any further than the 2010 midterm election as a barometer as to why Democrats shouldn't be planning their redecorations of the Oval Office, Congress or the state house following the 2012 contest.
Notwithstanding claims by the president and Democratic leaders, the "stimulus package" and the Affordable Care Act remain deeply unpopular with a majority of the American people. Whether the left believes it or not, voters chose the 2010 midterm elections to rebuke both President Obama and Congressional Democrats for their overreach in dramatically expanding the size and scope of the federal government.
On Nov. 3, 2010, as the dust settled across America, Democrats lost their majority in the House of Representatives and the Republicans gained six seats in the United States Senate – ending the Democrats' filibuster-proof majority. More dramatically, Democrats were crushed in statehouse elections in 2010.
That year, only 15 Republican incumbents were defeated; Democratic incumbents lost 492 seats. Of the 88 legislative chambers that held elections, Republicans prevailed in 53, and Democrats won only 32.
Voters spoke with their ballots in 2010 to halt the Democrats' advance. This November, the G.O.P. will march confidently ahead on Election Day. Rather than being down and out, Republicans remain a force to be reckoned with.
I'm with Mr Christie on this.
OR….was 2010 the last gasp of the GoP?
2012 or Never
Republicans are worried this election could be their last chance to stop history. This is fear talking. But not paranoia.
If the various expressions of right-wing hysteria that have flowered over the past three years—goldbuggery, birtherism, death panels at home and imaginary apology tours by President Obama abroad—perhaps the strain that has taken deepest root within mainstream Republican circles is the terror that the achievements of the Obama administration may be irreversible, and that the time remaining to stop permanent nightfall is dwindling away.
"America is approaching a 'tipping point' beyond which the Nation will be unable to change course," announces the dark, old-timey preamble to Paul Ryan's "The Roadmap Plan," a statement of fiscal principles that shaped the budget outline approved last spring by 98 percent of the House Republican caucus. Rick Santorum warns his audiences, "We are reaching a tipping point, folks, when those who pay are the minority and those who receive are the majority." Even such a sober figure as Mitt Romney regularly says things like "We are only inches away from no longer being a free economy," and that this election "could be our last chance."
The Republican Party is in the grips of many fever dreams. But this is not one of them. To be sure, the apocalyptic ideological analysis—that "freedom" is incompatible with Clinton-era tax rates and Massachusetts-style health care—is pure crazy. But the panicked strategic analysis, and the sense of urgency it gives rise to, is actually quite sound. The modern GOP—the party of Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes—is staring down its own demographic extinction. Right-wing warnings of impending tyranny express, in hyperbolic form, well-grounded dread: that conservative America will soon come to be dominated, in a semi-permanent fashion, by an ascendant Democratic coalition hostile to its outlook and interests. And this impending doom has colored the party's frantic, fearful response to the Obama presidency.
The GOP has reason to be scared. Obama's election was the vindication of a prediction made several years before by journalist John Judis and political scientist Ruy Teixeira in their 2002 book, The Emerging Democratic Majority. Despite the fact that George W. Bush then occupied the White House, Judis and Teixeira argued that demographic and political trends were converging in such a way as to form a natural-majority coalition for Democrats.
The Republican Party had increasingly found itself confined to white voters, especially those lacking a college degree and rural whites who, as Obama awkwardly put it in 2008, tend to "cling to guns or religion." Meanwhile, the Democrats had increased their standing among whites with graduate degrees, particularly the growing share of secular whites, and remained dominant among racial minorities. As a whole, Judis and Teixeira noted, the electorate was growing both somewhat better educated and dramatically less white, making every successive election less favorable for the GOP. And the trends were even more striking in some key swing states. Judis and Teixeira highlighted Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona, with skyrocketing Latino populations, and Virginia and North Carolina, with their influx of college-educated whites, as the most fertile grounds for the expanding Democratic base.
Obama's victory carried out the blueprint. Campaign reporters cast the election as a triumph of Obama's inspirational message and cutting-edge organization, but above all his sweeping win reflected simple demography. Every year, the nonwhite proportion of the electorate grows by about half a percentage point—meaning that in every presidential election, the minority share of the vote increases by 2 percent, a huge amount in a closely divided country. One measure of how thoroughly the electorate had changed by the time of Obama's election was that, if college-educated whites, working-class whites, and minorities had cast the same proportion of the votes in 1988 as they did in 2008, Michael Dukakis would have, just barely, won. By 2020—just eight years away—nonwhite voters should rise from a quarter of the 2008 electorate to one third. In 30 years, nonwhites will outnumber whites.
Now, there are two points to keep in mind about the emerging Democratic majority. The first is that no coalition is permanent. One party can build a majority, but eventually the minority learns to adapt to an altered landscape, and parity returns. In 1969, Kevin Phillips, then an obscure Nixon-administration staffer, wrote The Emerging Republican Majority, arguing that Republicans could undo FDR's New Deal coalition by exploiting urban strife, the unpopularity of welfare, and the civil-rights struggle to pull blue-collar whites into a new conservative bloc. The result was the modern GOP. Bill Clinton appropriated some elements of this conservative coalition by rehabilitating his party's image on welfare and crime (though he had a little help from Ross Perot, too). But it wasn't until Obama was elected that a Democratic president could claim to be the leader of a true majority party.

TUSCALOOSA, ALA. – Alabama freshman shortstop Mikey White (Birmingham, Ala.) was named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday night. White posted a .545 batting average last week to help the Crimson Tide post a series sweep over the VMI Keydets.
A true freshman, White started at shortstop and hit second in the Alabama order in all three games. White was 6-for-11 on the weekend that included six singles, three RBI, three walks and a perfect 3-for-3 in stolen base attempts. He also finished the three-game set against VMI with a .643 on-base percentage.
White got his career off to a start with a bang, going 4-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in the first game of the season. His biggest hit of the night came in the seventh inning when he drove in the game-winning run with an RBI single up the middle.
In game two, White was 1-for-2 with three walks and a pair of stolen bases and he finished the series with a 1-for-4 afternoon on Sunday. Defensively, White was part of four double plays turned by the Tide on the weekend. He committed just one error in 15 chances.
Zach Powers of Florida and J.T. Riddle of Kentucky were the SEC Co-Players of the Week, and Bobby Wahl of Mississippi earned pitcher of the week honors.
Alabama returns to the diamond tonight when it hosts the No. 21 ranked Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles. The Tide will start sophomore left-hander Taylor Guilbeau, while the Golden Eagles will counter with freshman righty Jake Winston. First Pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m., at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

Also investigated was crew transfer from the CM to the LEM, to determine the requirements for crew performance and, from this, to define human engineering needs. North American concluded that a separate LEM airlock was not needed but that the CSM oxygen supply system's capacity should be increased to effect LEM pressurization.
On November 29, North American presented the results of docking simulations, which showed that the free flight docking mode was feasible and that the 45-kilogram (100-pound) service module (SM) reaction control system engines were adequate for the terminal phase of docking. The simulations also showed that overall performance of the maneuver was improved by providing the astronaut with an attitude display and some form of alignment aid, such as probe.
On October 11, MSC Crew Systems Division (CSD) tested the suit's mobility with the portable life support system (PLSS). CSD researchers found that the PLSS did not restrict the wearer's movement because the suit supported the weight of the PLSS. Shifts in the center of gravity appeared insignificant. The PLSS controls, because of their location, were difficult to operate, which demanded further investigation.
It was acknowledged that a single mission could not serve to "completely define all the spacecraft functional requirements" but "such a mission has considerable value as a standard for various purposes on the Apollo Program."
Specifically, the DRM would be used for weight reporting, electrical power reporting, reliability modeling, engineering simulation, crew task analyses, mission-related Interface Control Documents, and trade-off studies.
As a result of this analysis, MSC directed Grumman to design the LEM ECS with an all-gaseous oxygen storage system.
|Total LEM
|14,515 kg (32,000 lbs)
|Ascent stage inert
|2,193 kg (4,835 lbs)
|Descent stage inert
|2,166 kg (4,775 lbs)
Also, IESD attended a preliminary design review at Autonetics on the signal conditioning equipment (SCE) for the Block II CSM. IESD concurred in several modifications to the Block I design (adding a redundant power supply; hermetic sealing of equipment; and repackaging to fit the equipment bay in Block II CMs). These changes reduced the SCE's weight from 22 to 19 kg (47.5 to 41 lbs) and, because of more efficient power supply, lowered its power consumption from 65 to 35 watts. North American was studying ways of perhaps lightening the SCE even further.
Phillips told ASPO Manager Joseph F. Shea that if he wished to continue to use GE's service in this area, he would support his request with the stipulation that GE's prediction analysis operation be supervised by MSC personnel.
Flight Operations Director Christopher C. Kraft, Jr., conducted the discussion, with Rodney G. Rose, Carl Kovitz, Morris V. Jenkins, William E. Platt, James E. Hannigan, Bruce H. Walton, and William L. Davidson participating.
The major factors (philosophy) identified at the meeting were:
To provide timely weight status to the Configuration Control Board, Systems Engineering Division was given the responsibility of presenting CSM and LM weight status at each weekly Board meeting as follows:
He added, "An uncrowded time line on the lunar surface for the first mission would seem to me more contributory to the advance of science than trying to do so much on the first mission that we do nothing well. . . ."

Liar, Liar
Friday, July 19, 2013
As I've been working on getting through my book, I've been doing nothing in regards to eating/exercising. But at least I've done that intentionally. I've wanted to completely separate everything out. I wanted to really break myself down mentally without covering it all up with the food and exercise.
Look, I'm damn good at lying to myself. I've done it for years. I did it the last time I went through this journey. What I haven't done is called myself on my BS while still telling myself affirmations. I always thought affirmations were for hippy yoga chicks with 10% body fat and never a care or concern about weight because all they eat is berries, nuts and granola. Truth is, it's just not how I was raised. We didn't tell each other what we liked about each other, we were told what was wrong and what we needed to fix. Sure, we got a "good job" when we did something well, but we were always given criticism with the praise. And I can't say that I'm all that unhappy about that because it's made me the woman I am today - the woman who constantly strives to be better and do better and learn more. What's wrong with that again? Oh, yeah....the fact that I won't give myself credit for anything.
So I stopped worrying about changing my habits right now until I can feel the change happening. And I know that doesn't make any sense...but lying to myself lately to get myself to do things? It hasn't been working. Instead I've been reminding myself how it FEELS to live a healthy life, eat healthy, fresh, raw foods, and feel the blood pumping through my body. I've been reminding myself of all the positive things I got from this journey the last time around. And I've been needing that because all I've been able to focus on for the past year has been the negative. It was time to let that goat out the gate and let the happy little lambs roam around reminding me of the true beauty of the situation.
And then today I ate an apple for a snack and a salad for lunch. And it felt right. That's not to say I'm not about to devour a bag of chips and whatever else I can find (in fact, I'm pretty sure these 2 cookies staring me down will be gone before I get my first comment here), but I didn't have to force those things, which let me simply enjoy the beauty of the taste of them. It wasn't a punishment. I didn't force it and it felt more like a reward...more like what I want my life/day to feel like on a regular basis. It's a step in the right direction, however small that step might be. It's a reminder of what I am capable of and where I might be able to take myself. When I'm ready.
I know this all sounds ridiculous because I certainly SEEMED ready before. But I was only ready until it got too hard...and then I wasn't up for it. This time I'm trying to build a me that can handle the unexpected and still live an amazing, healthy, active life. Because, in all honesty, I realize now that as much as I want a tiny belly that I'll never have, I want to be active and fit and healthy and confident again so much more. I'm trying to find things that will make me feel that way NOW, at this weight, whatever this weight is (because I still haven't dared to look yet). I want to set goals that make sense and build a life that fulfills all of me. I guess this time I really am thinking more about the journey and not the destination. I'll only get to the destination when I'm dead, and I'm in no rush to get there, so I might as well sit back and formulate a life I can be proud of right here and now.
This may also sound a bit weird, but the passing of little Talia Castellano (@taliajoy18 on YouTube) has really struck a nerve with me as well. Days before her passing, her sister was talking to her fans about all the stuff Talia had put on her bucket list...all the things she still had left to do. The sentiment, as Talia seemed to be improving was, "You can't go yet, little one...you still have so much left to experience!" And then, like a light being shut off one last time, Talia was gone. Since her passing, I've seen an outpouring of fans show their support by trying to accomplish Talia's bucket list for her...and all I can think is -- my bucket list is for ME! I want to do all of those things! Otherwise it doesn't count. And just yesterday I was reminded that Talia's overall message was to love yourself as you are, not as you want to be. Her favorite phrase was, "Makeup is my wig." She prettied up what she was given and moved forward without excuses or complaint. I need some of that "forget the world and love yourself" mentality right now...
I'm not sure any of this is making sense right now. And one of two cookies is already gone (but I'm putting away the second for now! YIKES! Too rich!), but I wanted to freethink my way through today, because I feel like I'm getting to the place I need to be. I'm not looking to be healed or cured or better, I'm just looking to let myself enjoy the best of what life has to offer and to have a crapton of fun along the way. Things haven't been great. I've hated my body the past few days just as much as ever - moreso because of some back pain yesterday that had me laid up on the couch all day - but I'm trying to keep moving forward. I want to allow myself to love myself and be fun and flirty and sassy again, so that's my only goal right now.

POLICE are treating an early hours blaze that gutted a house in Slimbridge today as suspected arson.
More than 20 firefighters battled to bring the fire, at a vacant four-bedroom house in Shepherd's Patch, under control after the alarm was raised by neighbours.
Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue said it received several 999 calls from Slimbridge residents reporting the house fire in the early hours of the morning.
Two fire crews from Dursley Fire Station arrived at the scene just before 12.30am and called for back up. Two additional appliances were sent from Stroud and Wotton-under-Edge Fire Stations.
According to Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue the property was well alight and 23 firefighters battled to bring the inferno under control using water from the Gloucester and Sharpness canal. Crews remained there for four hours.
Station commander Colin Southwood said: "Flames were through the roof on arrival at the scene, crews worked effectively to extinguish the fire within the first hour, firefighters proceeded to dampen down the roof embers and ensure what remained of the building was safe."
David and Sylivia Hatcliffe, who live nearby, said they were woken by the emergency services.
Mr Hatcliffe told the Gazette: "We were woken at about 12.30am. We could see the fire and lots of blue flashing lights. The fire engines just kept coming. They were here for quite a while putting it out."
A neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: "We saw some flickering lights. We thought it was a car's headlights. We looked out and saw flames coming through the roof."
Neighbours said the house had been empty for about two months following the death of its owner. The four-bedroom family home had only just been put on the market and had an asking price of £325,000.
Gloucestershire Police are now investigating the fire, which officers are treating as suspected arson.
Police have asked anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area to call the non-emergency number 101, quoting incident number 7 of March 7, or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

It's hard to know what to look at first when you walk in to Shucker's Crab House & Oyster Bar in the Enderis Park neighborhood.
The huge Hawaiian/Easter Island-like stone head? The South Seas decor? The signs with humorous sayings scattered around the walls? The tank of live eels? The wall o' fame - pictures of the owner with many famous celebrities?
Sitting down, the bottle of Sriracha on the table bodes well. The decor might be fun, but the food is taken seriously.
The menu itself is beautifully done, and it's hard to choose because everything sounds great. There are Southeast Asian dishes, Chinese, Sushi, Hawaiian, Korean, Polynesian....Go with a large group, in order to sample a bit of everything.
Start with Oysters, of course - a dozen on the half. Then try the Spicy Pickled Jellyfish, which was fantastic and easily a favorite worth going back for. The texture, for some, might be off-putting, but once you get past that, the taste is fresh from the sea, with a nice heat.
The Salt & Garlic Pepper Calamari was another winner, with the addition of garlic to the usual salt & pepper being an additional welcome kick.
Smoked Eel is prepared Polynesian style, in a wood smoker, and comes with Polynesian Coleslaw. It was interesting. If you like smoked Eel in sushi restaurants, you'll enjoy it here.
The Kimchee that came as a side dish to some entrees was nice and spicy, and the sweet potato fries were excellent. The side of veggie fried rice was fine.
Bulgogi was tender, and came with grilled Pineapple, which was a nice touch and added a sweetness to the dish.
The only disappointment was the Coconut Cheesecake, and that was, perhaps, because it seemed a little bland and boring after the array of foods beforehand.
Service can be a bit slow, but the food is worth the wait. Go when you have the time to sit for an hour or so and really enjoy your way through the menu.

Green City Wilmington Frequently Asked Questions
Climate change is a huge problem. How can I possibly make a difference?
Each individual and business has a role to play in tackling climate change. Current greenhouse gas levels are a result of billions of individual decisions – to drive a particular car, cut a particular tree, use a certain type of fuel, or raise a specific type of livestock. In the same way, billions of individual actions can help reduce emissions. In fact, that's the only way we can achieve significant global emission reductions, one decision and action at a time.
What is a carbon footprint?
Nearly every activity results in some greenhouse gas emissions. A carbon footprint is a summary of the greenhouse gas emissions produced as a result of a specific activity or over a specific period of time. Typical examples include the carbon footprint of a person's or business' annual operations, the carbon footprint of an airplane flight, or the carbon footprint of a consumer retail product. A carbon footprint will typically include both direct emissions from a product or activity (for example from gasoline consumption) and indirect emissions such as the emissions from the electricity generation plant that supplies the home or business.
Why should I measure my carbon footprint?
Measuring your carbon footprint helps you identify those activities that have the greatest impact on global warming, and is the first step to developing an effective footprint reduction plan. Identifying areas of high carbon emissions is also a good way highlight potential cost savings.
What is the carbon footprint of a product?
The carbon footprint of a product is the total carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted through its life including production, use and disposal. For example, the carbon footprint of cola is the total net amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted to produce and dispose of a single can of cola.
How do I calculate my carbon footprint?
You can use online carbon calculators to estimate your annual carbon footprint. See the additional resources section of the Green City Living page for links to carbon calculators.
What is ENERGY STAR?
ENERGY STAR is the U.S. government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. It identifies new homes, commercial buildings and more than 40 types of products that are energy efficient and offer the features, quality and personal comfort that today's consumers expect. Products that can earn the ENERGY STAR include appliances, lighting, home office equipment, consumer electronics, and heating and cooling equipment.
What is energy efficiency?
Energy efficiency refers to technologies, processes and equipment that allow us to do the same activities (or more) with less energy. It means getting better use out of the energy we consume. In practical terms, this could mean installing better insulation, buying ENERGY STAR appliances or using a programmable thermostat.
What is the difference between energy conservation and energy efficiency?
Energy conservation involves a change in behavior to save energy (turning off the lights, powering down computers at night). Energy efficiency involves upgrades like installing appliances, equipment or lighting that uses less energy (such as using compact florescent light bulbs (CFLs) instead of incandescent bulbs). Energy efficiency also could include modifying or changing operational processes.
How much energy does a compact fluorescent light bulb save?
Compact fluorescent lights save you approximately 75% of the energy and last 10 times longer than a comparable incandescent light bulb.
- Look for bulbs that meet ENERGY STAR® standards for long life, energy savings, start time, color and brightness.
- Check the package label to get the wattage that will give you the light you need.
Aside from doing the obvious like turning out lights when I leave a room and changing out incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescents bulbs, what other things can I do to save energy?
Here are three tips that can help you control energy usage:
- Set your thermostat a few degrees lower. Every two degrees lower can save you $5 or more a month.
- Adding new weather-stripping and caulking around windows and doors can help reduce your energy bill up to 20%.
- Repairing a leaky hot water faucet can save up to 350 gallons of water a month, in addition to the cost to heat the water.
Does it use more energy to turn things on and off?
Turning off an appliance is more efficient than leaving it on. While an extra surge of electricity flows when you turn on an electrical device, this surge is brief and uses very little extra power.
Even computers can be safely turned off when you are not using them.
- Personal computer hard drives are currently engineered to withstand hundreds of thousands of on/off cycles. There is no problem with turning them off to save energy.
- Another way to save is to use the ENERGY STAR® "sleep" mode available on most systems today.
Does it really save energy to turn my thermostat back at night in the winter?
Turning the thermostat down saves energy and money. Your home will lose less heat when the inside temperature is lower. The longer your home is at a lower temperature, the more you save. While your furnace will run for a longer period when the temperature is turned back up, the energy saved during setback is more.
You can save about 1% on your heating bill for every degree you regularly set the temperature back for an eight-hour period.
You may want to consider getting a setback thermostat. It can be programmed to turn down when you are asleep and when you are gone. The temperature can be set to come back up before you get up or get back home so you will stay comfortable.

Texas Tech Defeats Missouri, 4-3 in Second Overtime
Frantz scored game winning goal for Red Raiders
LUBBOCK, Texas -- It took 119 minutes before the Texas Tech women's soccer team could claim their fourth straight Big 12 victory. Texas Tech sophomore forward Kristy Frantz sent a shot up the middle in the 119th minute of play that alleviated a 3-3 tie and helped Tech maintain their unblemished 4-0 Big 12 mark.
"I got the ball and dribbled past a couple of people. I looked up and saw the shot and thought, 'Why not?'. I just hit it and it went in. I was so happy. I turned around and my whole team was there and it was just the greatest feeling," Frantz said.
The game got off to an exciting start as Missouri's Nikki Thole hit the first goal in the fourth minute of play. Tech answered five minutes later when Lizzy Biles scored off an assist from Frantz. In the tenth minute of play, Frantz took another shot that missed, but set up sophomore Amaris Smith for a goal. The Red Raiders led 2-1 until Missouri's Mandy Waters scored her first goal of the season in the 13th minute of play.
The excitement elevated in the 25th minute of play Missouri was called for a foul in the penalty box. After Tiger coach Bryan Blitz was red carded, Frantz took the penalty shot and capitalized for Tech. Missouri's Amy Timmerman knotted the score at 3-3 when she scored in the 35th minute of play.
The final regulation period and first sudden death overtime could not do anything to alleviate the knotted score. It wasn't until the 119th minute of game time that Frantz put in the game winning goal.
"This was great. Our kids had to work very hard, because Missouri is a very good, very balanced team. Our kids dug in because they knew they couldn't afford a loss here. They really played their hearts out," Texas Tech Head Coach Felix Oskam said.
The Red Raiders took 21 shots, committed 11 fouls and had one corner kick. Missouri took 20 shots, committed ten fouls and had a school record 11 corner kicks. Tech's freshman goalkeeper Kellie McCallister had seven saves, while Missouri's Liz LaTour had eight.
The Red Raiders improved their overall record to 4-2 and maintained their perfect 4-0 mark in Big 12 play. The win helped move Tech to the top of the conference race, where they sit with Texas A&M as the only undefeated teams.
Tech will face Baylor on Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Waco. In their last meeting Tech lost to the Bears 1-0 in Lubbock.
"Baylor is a very tough team. We have a short turn around before going to Waco, but we just have to concentrate on Baylor. There are no easy games in the Big 12. This is one of the toughest conferences in the country and I am proud to be a part of it.," Oskam said.

Gold Inc
Many people are aware of how a mining company may use machines, such as a centerless grinding machine, but not many people know a whole lot about mining companies. If you are interested in learning about some basic information about mining companies, then continue to read on.
Read more about centerless grinding
Most Mining Companies Work Internationally
Many mining companies will mine domestically, but most companies work all around the world. Some miners may work for a company that is based in one country, but they will often be sent all around the world to mine, as well as being sent all around their native country. However, some mining companies only mind domestically, but miners who work for such a company can expect to travel all around the country.
They Mine Many Things
Most people used to think that mining companies would only mine for gold, and many years ago that may have been true. However, today most mining companies mine for many different things, and gold is still one of them. Miners will often mine for diamonds, which is usually done in African countries, but miners do mine for diamonds elsewhere. Some miners mine for copper and silver, while others mine for other types of minerals.
People Who Work For A Mining Company
There are many types of people who work for a mining company. There are the actual miners, who usually come in at an entry-level position, and they do most of the mining. There is also a person who is in charge of all the miners and the project, and this person is usually known as a project manager or miner manager. There are also people who work on grinding down the minerals and materials that were mined. There are even people who work on the financial side of things, and these people will usually distribute miners' paychecks, pay taxes and so forth.
How To Get A Job With A Mining Company
Many people want to get a job with a mining company because it provides them with a good source of income and it also provides them with job stability. Many people end up working as a miner for many years and then they retire with the company they were hired by. However, many people do not know how to get a job with a mining company. Below are a few ways to get a job with one.
Look In The Right Places
Most mining jobs are not going to be advertised alongside other jobs, therefore you should look for companies that are hiring via job sites that are specifically targeted to people looking to get into the mining industry. You can also contact mining companies directly, but regardless of what route you take make sure to have a resume on hand. Do not worry too much about the lack of experience, because many companies hire people who have no mining experience.

With Santa Fe, Hyundai Completes Fluidic Transformation
With the launch of a new Santa Fe SUV in New York on Wednesday, a multi-year design makeover of Hyundai Motor Co.'s cars is essentially complete. Its designers are now working on the second act.
About five years ago, Hyundai designers and management decided to finally tackle their identity issue, which was the lack of one. There wasn't a way to immediately spot a Hyundai car on the road, the way one can with a BMW, Audi, Buick or even Toyota.
The solution was a design concept dubbed "fluidic sculpture." The main elements: arched lines that appear to flow aerodynamically from a point at the front-center of the car, contrasting surfaces, headlights that looked like eagle eyes.
The ideas first took form in the Sonata sedan released at the end of 2009, which was dramatically different from its predecessor. They've quickly spread through the rest of the line-up, with even the boxy Equus luxury sedan getting some angled flair. Recently, Hyundai said that it would revamp the Sonata for the 2014 model year, meaning the existing model will have had a lifecycle of just four years, relatively short for mid-range cars.
But there's a danger that taking a single look too far would damage, rather than enhance, Hyundai's sales. Buyers of $35,000 and $50,000 cars don't necessarily want their car to carry the same lines as one that sells for less than $10,000. (Indeed, the sculpted lines of Hyundai's new Santa Fe are less extreme than on some other models.)
That's a risk that BMW, Buick and the like don't face because their range of vehicles is more limited. Even Hyundai's sister company Kia, which itself is on a streak of design successes, competes in fewer model categories.
"Hyundai has an extensive line-up within a single brand portfolio," said Casey Hyun, a Hyundai designer. "We needed to create design distinction within each segment."
As the designers started to refine the fluidic sculpture concept, they settled on a distinction that is starting play out in the "refreshes" and updates of the vehicles. The distinction generally works like this:
Inexpensive sedans and all SUVs are getting a grille, or front face, that is shaped like a hexagon.
Mid-line and high-end sedans are getting a grille with a wing-shaped span.
The idea is that the hexagonally shaped grille is perceived as younger and sportier-looking. Next year, Hyundai will emphasize the six-sided shape even more by dropping the cross bar that's in many of its hexagonal grilles today.
And the wing-shaped grille is considered to be more refined, stable and reinforces the aerodynamic look that the company has been trying to make its signature.
There are exceptions to Hyundai's rules of the grille. Some inexpensive cars in China, where Hyundai is a brand that drivers aspire to in a greater degree than elsewhere, will get the wing-shaped grille. And hybrid cars, for the moment, are getting the sporty hexagonal grille no matter where they fit in the lineup.
The trick, says Oh Suk-geun, a senior executive vice president and chief designer at Hyundai, is to create a system that allows designers to exercise their individual creativity. But he said, "The designers need a common direction."
One sign of their success, Hyundai's designers said, is that a search of the term "fluidic" on the images section of Google Inc.'s Web search engine immediately returns pictures of their cars.

Undergraduate Students - University Health Plan (UHP)
Saint Louis University requires all full-time Undergraduate Students to have basic health insurance. If a student already has other health insurance coverage in effect, then coverage under the University Health Plan (UHP) may be waived. If a student does not have other (non-UHP) coverage, they must enroll in the UHP. Charges for UHP coverage will be billed on one's student account. Students that neither waive nor enroll by the end of an Open Enrollment Period may be automatically enrolled and charged for UHP coverage. Summer coverage is optional. Student-athletes participating in NCAA sports should contact the Department of Athletics to confirm if summer coverage is required for their sport.
Distance learners as well as Continuing Education and School for Professional Studies students are excluded from the requirement. Study Abroad students are also excluded since they are required to enroll in either the International Insurance Plan or Sanitas Plan provided through Saint Louis University.
Full-time students that neither waive nor enroll by the end of an Open Enrollment Period may be automatically enrolled and charged for UHP coverage.
Waiver Instructions: To waive UHP coverage, Undergraduate Students must access secure on-line waiver screens provided by Aetna Student Health, the UHP's administrative partner. The waiver screens require students to enter details regarding their other (non-UHP) coverage. UHP waivers completed online are only applicable to the academic year in which they are submitted.
Fall 2016 Undergraduate Waiver Screens: Aetna Student Health ** Coming mid June 2016 **
NOTE: If you are not registered for classes, you will not be able to waive online.
Enrollment/Changes to Plan Elections: Eligible Undergraduate Students and their dependent(s) must enroll or request changes to plan elections (i.e. drop/waive coverage) within 31 days of admission to a University program, during an Open Enrollment Period or during a Special Enrollment Period. To enroll in UHP during an Open Enrollment Period, students may access secure on-line enrollment screens provided by Aetna Student Health. Manual enrollment may also be available. Eligibility for enrollment is based upon one's current registration status. Enrollment may be completed in advance of Open Enrollment Periods.
Fall 2016 Undergraduate Enrollment Screens: Aetna Student Health ** Coming mid June 2016 **
NOTE: If you are not registered for classes, you will not be able to enroll online.
Open Enrollment: Enrollment may be completed in advance of Open Enrollment Periods. Upcoming Open Enrollment Periods for Undergraduate Students include:

Horizon Discovery is a provider of research tools to support the development of personalized medicines.
The Company? proprietary virally-mediated gene-engineering technology, GENESIS? enables any endogenous gene in a human cell-line to be altered quickly, reliably and without introducing unwanted and confounding genotypes and/or phenotypes. Using GENESIS, Horizon Discovery has developed X-MAN?(Gene-X; Mutant And Normal) cell models, which are the world? first source of genetically-defined and patient-relevant human cell lines.
The Company? broad panel of over 350 different X-MAN cell lines, which have been referred to as ?atients-in-a-test-tube,?accurately model the disease-causing mutations in cancer patients. The X-MAN cell lines are being used by academic and industry leaders to identify the effect of individual mutations on drug activity, patient responsiveness and resistance, and to successfully predict which patient sub-groups will respond to currently-available and future drug treatments. This supports the design of shorter, more focused clinical trials, making it possible to identify the ?ight drugs?for the ?ight patients?based upon the unique genetic mutations that define their disease.
Founded in 2007 by Dr Chris Torrance and Professor Alberto Bardelli, and with headquarters in Cambridge, UK, the company builds on a long heritage in gene-engineering, cancer research and translational medicine, and draws on intellectual property and know-how from the University of Washington, the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland, the University of Minnesota and the Department of Oncological Sciences at the University of Torino Medical School. Over 400 scientific papers relating to the use of X-MAN cell line pairs generated using GENESIS have been published, and the technology has won numerous awards including; Medical Futures Innovation Award for Cancer (2008), UK iaward of the Year (2009), East of England Killer Technology (2009) and East of England Young Company of Year (2010).

On the first offense's first two possessions, Russell led 75 and 80-yard drives for touchdowns. The first coming on a perfectly placed 29-yard pass to Malcolm Johnson, who enjoyed a tremendous evening with five catches on the night. After another Russell-to-Johnson connection for a big gain on the second possession, Josh Robinson crossed the goalline from two yards out.
The defense settled down, forcing a string of three-and-outs for both the first and second offensive units. The second offense got on the board with a Derek Milton 16 yard run and the first offense added a field goal to close the first half scoring.
After a two-minute situation in which the defense stymied both the first and second offense, the groups watched the third units play for approximately 20 snaps. Running back Jimmy Perry scored for the 3s on a five-yard rush.
Redshirt freshman wideout Joe Morrow provided the offensive highlight of the night early in the second half, snagging a pass with one hand, spinning off a defender and outracing the defense for an 82-yard score. But the second half belonged to the defense as senior defensive back Darius Slay provided an outrageous sideline interception to stop the offense's next drive. It was one of three passes intercepted by Slay on the evening. After a missed field goal from 42-yards out, redshirt freshman DB Taveze Calhoun returned a fumble 40 yards for a score to close the evening's scoring.
Head football coach Dan Mullen missed the scrimmage after the birth of his daughter earlier in the day, the second child for Mullen and his wife Megan.
Malcolm Johnson 29 pass from Tyler Russell (Brian Egan point after)

Maryland among top 10 states with the lowest percentage of 'structurally deficient' bridges
A White House report estimates one in four bridges in the U.S. needs significant repairs or can't handle today's traffic.
President Barack Obama is expected to sign a temporary fix this week to keep money flowing to the Highway Trust Fund, which pays for road and bridge construction and maintenance throughout the country and here in Maryland.
In his 21 year career as an inspector with the Maryland State Highway Administration , Edward Swift has been above and below many of the Maryland's State Highway Administration's 2,500 bridges.
"We have a 100 percent hands-on policy, so we'll touch every part of this beam, every part of this bridge," Swift said. "Here, I'm beating through the rust, section loss, make sure there's no holes."
- Baltimore Aquatics Director: 'We have a lot of training to do '
- 300 teachers leave Harford County schools; district working to fill vacancies
- 3 separate incidents of victims left in cars at Maryland Live! Casino over the past year
- Development boom in Owings Mills doesn't include struggling mall property
To the untrained eye, Swift said bridges often appear to be in worse shape than they actually are.
"Just because it's rusty doesn't mean that it's bad," he said. "So a lot of people have the tendency to look and say, 'Oh, all that planking there, it's bad, it's in bad shape.' They don't understand that that's for their protection."
Federal law requires bridges to be inspected at least once every two years. But the bridge Swift is inspecting, a portion of the Interstate 695 Inner Loop over Benson Avenue is on a yearly cycle. It's one of the 81 bridges maintained by the SHA labeled as structurally deficient. The term means the bridge is safe to drive on, but at least one of the bridge's three main elements is in poor condition and needs to be replaced.
"We have one of the lowest structurally deficient bridge lists in the country at only 4 percent," said Charlie Gischlar, an SHA spokesman. "The ones that are [structurally deficient] are either in construction, funded for construction or in active design, so we're way ahead of the ball here."
The two most heavily traveled bridges on Maryland's structurally deficient list are in Baltimore County. They each hover around 190,000 cars daily. The I-695 Inner Loop bridge over Leeds Avenue in Arbutus has deteriorating concrete. It's in the design phase and is scheduled to be repaired later this year. The second most heavily traveled bridge is I-695 over Milford Mill Road in Pikesville. That bridge is currently undergoing repairs to its riding surface and concrete supports.
"We wouldn't let anyone drive over something with a serious issue," Gischlar said. "We don't want it to get to that position. That's why it goes on that list, so we can start aligning a design for it and ultimately funding."
Roughly the other half of the state's nearly 5300 bridges are inspected and maintained by each county or Baltimore city. Out of that group Baltimore County has the most.
"The biggest thing is probably the logistics," said Kevin Sabolcik, chief of the structural design section for Baltimore County's Department of Public Works. "We do have nearly 700 bridges, they all need to be inspected."
Overall, six percent of Maryland's bridges are labeled structurally deficient, which puts it among the ten states with the lowest percentages of structurally deficient bridges. Pennsylvania has the highest percentage of bridges in need of repair at 23 percent.
"I think our bridges are in a pretty good condition overall," Sabolcik said. "We do have a very, very good inspection program. We have a very good maintenance program."
But even with a thorough inspection and maintenance program, problems can arise unexpectedly.
Like in the case of westbound I-70 over the Patapsco River. Earlier this summer, state officials shut it down for emergency repairs when a painting crew discovered a crack in one of the bridge's beams.
"For safety purposes, the overwhelming concern for safety, we shut it down and fixed it and reopened it when we were satisfied when it was safe," Gischlar said.
It's also an example of how one observant person can lead to a major discovery.
"We always follow up on any kind of observation that's made," Sabolcik said. "We've actually found some bridges by citizens voicing a concern over something that we didn't even know was in our inventory."
Another category of bridges are labeled "functionally obsolete." Maryland has nearly 1100 bridges that fall under this category. These bridges are structurally sound, but are outdated for current use. For example, the Bay Bridge is considered functionally obsolete because it often has more cars than it was originally designed to handle.
As far as the counties in our area, Anne Arundel County has the lowest percentage of structurally deficient
bridges in the state at less than two percent. On the other hand, Cecil County is among the highest, with more than 10.5 percent. You can find a break down of bridge statistics county-by-county here .

The Walking Dead Escape infected Reliant Stadium and is coming to a city near you. Thousands of participants flocked to the South Gates in preparation of a night these zombie fans will never forget. Right before dusk, the first wave of Survivors ran, jumped, dodged, and used their zombie apocalypse knowledge to make even the creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman proud.
The Walking Dead is a well-known comic book and TV show that airs on AMC. The Walking Dead Escape takes this fandom with the novelty of fun runs and obstacle courses and puts the participant right in the middle of the action. Whether fans of The Walking Dead or zombie enthusiasts, everyone was extremely pleased in this volunteer based course.
Participants will choose from three different levels as to how involved they are in the apocalypse. Spectators who walk the side lines of the course, cheering on both the runners and zombies. The zombies are called Walkers, their main purpose is to scare, horrify, and sniff out their next meal. A team of professional makeup artists turn these ordinary people into the undead, are given a crash course in Zombie 101 and then are unleashed upon the masses. The final option are the Survivors, who are trying to do just that, survive. They are the living trying to make it through the course with coming into the lease amount of contact with a Walker as possible. They are the ones running, jumping, screaming, and possibly passing on the infection if they don't make it past the decontamination zone. While with most living dead infections, a bite, scratch or death will bring upon the virus, here it's just the mere touch of the walking dead that will turn you. You don't have to be the fastest but just faster than the slowest person.
Check out www.thewalkingdeadescape.com for more details and if you are brave enough there are 7 remaining events left in 2014, as well as a special 2 day event at San Diego Comic Con. And catch season 5 of AMC's The Walking Dead this October.

The Celebration Of The Lizard
Doors, The - The Celebration Of The Lizard
Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town
He went down South and crossed the border
Left the chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin
Wake up!
You can't remember where it was
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold
Glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisons
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
I can't live thru each slow century of her moving
I let my cheek slide down
The cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood
The smooth hissing snakes of rain . . .
Once I had, a little game
I liked to crawl back into my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called 'go insane?
Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes forget your name
Forget the world forget the people
And we'll erect a different steeple
This little game is fun to do
Just close your eyes no way to lose
And I'm right there I'm going too
Release control we're breaking thru
Way back deep into the brain
Back where there's never any pain
And the rain falls gently on the town
And in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
Nervous hill dwellers in the gentle hills around
Reptiles abounding
Fossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold
Windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust blind under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug
With semen eyes in their nipples
There's been a slaughter here
(Don't stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and fan are on the ground
We're getting out of town
We're going on the run
And you're the one I want to come)
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Let's run
House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
C'mon along, we're not going very far
To the East to meet the Czar
Some outlaws lived by the side of the lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! We're almost home
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Let the carnival bells ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything
We came down
The rivers and highways
We came down from
Forests and falls
We came down from
Carson and Springfield
We came down from
Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you
The names of the Kingdom
I can tell you
The things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade
'I am the Lizard King
I can do anything
I can make the earth stop in its tracks
I made the blue cars go away
For seven years I dwelt
In the loose palace of exile
Playing strange games
With the girls of the island
Now I have come again
To the land of the fair, and the strong, and the wise
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
O Children of Night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now Night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready?

Having Only One Car
Please Note! BPN is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit and has moved to a new website: BerkeleyParentsNetwork.org
We have one toddler and one car that we happily don't use much,
but we are expecting another child later this year. For
environmental and other reasons, we don't want to purchase
another car. Two kids, one car - can it work? Any tips how how
to make a one car life (or even no car life) work with kids
would be great. Thanks!
Reluctant car user
You can do it! We save at least $2000-3000 per year by not
having a car - even when we had a 10-year old car it was alot to
pay insurance, maintenance, gas, tickets - so I give myself
permission to use CCS and rent a car whenever I need to because
it really still is much cheaper over the year, just takes a bit
more planning. I am pleasantly surprised at the new habits and
seeing more of the local streets and slowing down to see gardens
and get more exercise ''Forget low-carb, go on the low-car diet.''

BATTLE GROUND — In front of the ditch where authorities found a woman's body the previous day, a small group of men, women and children stood Saturday night looking forward past the embankment, some with tear-stained eyes and others with empty looks on their faces.
Behind them, around three dozen people gathered quietly off Southwest 10th Avenue, a short distance from where Tatyana Tupikova's body was found. Police identified the 22-year-old Battle Ground resident Saturday afternoon as the woman in the ditch. Authorities also announced they believed she had been the victim of a hit-and-run.
A passer-by reported seeing a woman's body around 3 p.m. Friday in a ditch along the east side of Southwest 10th Avenue — also known as state Highway 503 — between Eaton Boulevard and Main Street in Battle Ground. An autopsy performed Saturday morning at the Clark County Medical Examiner's Office determined the cause of Tupikova's death as blunt-force trauma.
Detectives are seeking witnesses who might have seen any suspicious activity at around 9 p.m. Wednesday just north of the Battle Ground Cinemas.
On Saturday evening, a small display of flowers, stuffed animals and a handwritten note to Tupikova appeared in front of the ditch where her body had been discovered. Participants in the vigil were provided small cups with plastic, blinking lights. The group was silent. At one point, three young boys sat at the bottom of the embankment near the ditch, a few feet away from tiny yellow flags placed there the day before by police.
Tupikova was described by those who knew her as someone whose joyous personality brought happiness to others. That was especially true at Mallard Landing, an assisted-living facility where she had worked for about three years, her co-workers said.
Tupikova worked to help pay bills at home, where she lived with her mother and father, said Roseann Pruitt, her friend, co-worker and organizer of Saturday's vigil.
"She would give anybody her last dime or the shirt off her back," Pruitt said about her friend. Tupikova's family asked Pruitt to address media, she said, noting they were still deep in grief.
Pruitt recalled her friend's sweetness, her ability to make almost anything out of construction or wrapping paper, and her singing. When Tupikova started working at the facility, she constantly sang Train's "Hey, Soul Sister," Pruitt shared.
Tupikova was supposed to meet Pruitt and a group of friends Wednesday afternoon for frozen yogurt at Yo Factory near Wilco on East Main Street. Tupikova texted friends to say she felt tired and was not going to make it, Pruitt said. Pruitt described the facility's employees as a tight-knit group who often interacted away from work.
Tupikova was last seen about 3 p.m. Wednesday, according to friends. She was reported missing Thursday.
A former co-worker who asked to only be identified as Oksana said Tupikova always "made my day."
"She thought of everybody before herself," Oksana, 23, said. "She was a great caregiver and a hard worker."
Oksana struggled for words when asked what she would tell the person responsible for her friend's death.
"It's not fair," she said, fighting back tears.
Pruitt urged the person responsible "to come forward now instead of prolonging the family's agony."
"She was just the most amazing, caring person and it's heartbreaking to know someone hit her and took off," Pruitt said. "Maybe if they'd stopped and helped her she'd still be here."
Asking for help
The Battle Ground Police Department asks anyone with information about a suspect vehicle to call Detective Joshua Phelps at 360-342-5254 or email him at email@example.com. There is also a tip line at http://cityofbg.org/tips where an anonymous tip can be sent.

Mediocre toy tale.
One pair of girls is flying in a private jet when the blonde confesses to the brunette that she has always thought of her as sexy. She convinces her to try jumping the track and soon has her taking an impressive strap-on. The girls change roles and exhaust themselves just as the announcement comes on to strap themselves in and prepare for a landing.
The second scene involves two strippers in court accusing one another of stealing the act. After judge Fontana views the evidence, he rules that the girls need to learn to work together, and the dildo fun begins.

12 Tigers Earn Sprint Football All-CSFL Honors
Twelve members of the Princeton sprint football team earned All-CSFL accolades for their performances throughout the 2012 season. The Tigers earned recognition at nearly every position on the first, second and honorable mention teams.
Princeton boasted three first team selections in running back Sean Conrad, defensive back Ross Cadman and John Wolfe earned special teams honors. Conrad led the Tigers on the ground, rushing for 488 and scoring a pair of touchdowns. He also caught one touchdown in the air bringing his season total to three, tying for a team-best.
Two-way player Cadman was a key contributor on both ends of the field. On defense, he had three interceptions, while tallying a team-best 55 tackles. A dual honoree, Cadman also earned second team accolades at wide receiver. He led the Tigers with 320 receiving yards, averaging 45.7 per game, and three touchdowns.
Like Cadman, Wolfe played multiple positions on the field. Over 19 receptions, he gained 215 yard and scored a pair of touchdowns, while on the defensive end he had 17.5 tackles, 7.5 sacks and was there to help force three fumbles. Wolfe was also named to the honorable mention team at tight end.
Ben Foulon earned recognition for his work on the offensive line, taking home second team accolades. He saw action in all seven games and helped protect Princeton's tandem of quarterbacks. Joining Foulon on the second team was wide receiver Nicolas Lulli, who had three touchdowns and averaged 17.2 yards per carry over six games played.
On the defensive end, Christopher McCord was named a second team selection at defensive back. The sophomore played in all seven games and had 13 tackles and three interceptions.
Offensive linemen Brett Leibowitz and Laurence Diao both picked up honorable mention honors. Both linemen were mainstays in the Tiger offense, proving to be versatile players seeing action on the defensive line as well.
Zack Sobel was also tabbed to the honorable mention team for his work on the Tiger defensive line. In seven games, he had 25 tackles ranking him fourth on the team in takedowns.
Rounding out Princeton's honorees was Andrew Biershenk, a dual honorable mention honoree at punter and kicker. In his first year with the Tigers, he was a perfect 2-for-2 in field goals, including a long of 33 yards. Punting he averaged 48.2 yards per kick.
