Stetson University baseball coach Pete Dunn announced today the addition of eight players for the 2015 season. The group of signees brings the total number of newcomers for the year at 14.
"Experience, versatility and athleticism aptly describe these eight players," Dunn said. "All of them will compete for major roles next spring. These eight players, along with the six fall signees, give us one of our strongest recruiting classes in recent years."
The 2015 campaign will be the 36th as head coach in the Hall of Fame career of Dunn, who will be looking to take his program back to NCAA post-season play for the 17th time during his tenure.
Vance Vizcaino – INF/OF – Wake Forest, NC
Vance Vizcaino comes to Stetson from a baseball family.
He started his collegiate career at the University of Tennessee where he saw action in 27 games as a freshman in 2013. He batted .213 in 61 at bats that season with four doubles, a triple and 10 runs batted in. He also stole four bases on five attempts.
"Vance will make an immediate impact in our lineup," Dunn said. "His left-handed bat should drive in runs from the middle of the order and his experience playing in the SEC will be a plus."
He took a year off from baseball while attending Glendale Community College in Arizona in 2013-14, but was still selected in the 29th round of the MLB First Year Player Draft by the Kansas City Royals.
Vizcaino was originally selected by the New York Mets in the 31st round (950th overall) in the 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft out of Wakefield High School. He was a 2012 Rawlings All-Atlantic Region Honorable Mention selection and twice participated in the Area Code Games, playing with the Oakland Athletics squad in 2010 and Washington Nationals team in 2011.
Vizcaino hit .394 as a junior to help lead Wakefield to a 20-4 record and a conference championship in 2011. He was ranked as the 47th-best shortstop in the 2012 draft by BaseballDraftReport.com and was listed as one of the Top 1000 players in the nation by Perfect Game.
The North Carolina native is the son of Junior Vizcaino, who was a 1987 Pittsburgh Pirates draft pick out of Valdosta State. The elder Vizcaino now serves as a national scouting supervisor for the Kansas City Royals. In addition to his dad, his mother, Debra, was a volleyball player at Wake Forest and his grandfather played multiple sports at Rutgers.
Jack Machonis – SS – Tampa, Fla.
Jack Machonis comes to Stetson from Eastern Florida State College where he played first base, shortstop and third base over his lone season. He earned first team All-Southern Conference honors last spring after hitting .344 with two home runs, 29 RBI and 20 stolen bases.
"Jack joins out program after an outstanding spring at Eastern Florida State," Dunn said. "He is an extremely versatile defensive player but will most likely vie for the starting job at second base. He was a very productive leadoff hitter and will compete for the same role here."
Prior to his time at EFSC, Machonis (6-1, 185) was a member of the baseball team at UNC Pembroke, but he saw action in just four games as a freshman, getting one hit and driving in two runs. He was a standout at Sickles High School in Tampa. He was an honorable mention All-County selection in 2012 after helping the Gryphons to the regional quarterfinals.
Will Mackenzie – 1B/OF – Ocala, Fla.
Will Mackenzie comes to Stetson from St. Johns River State College where he helped his team to a conference title in 2014 by hitting .325 with nine home runs and 45 RBI.
"Will brings left-handed offensive punch to the lineup as well as being an outstanding defensive first baseman," Dunn said. "He excelled at an outstanding program at St. Johns River State and will make us better, both offensively and defensively."
A true left-hander, Mackenzie (6-3, 210) is a plus defender at first base and, over two seasons he batted .291 with 10 home runs and 68 RBI in 86 games while posting a .470 slugging percentage.
Mackenzie played at North Marion High School where he was named Marion County Player of the Year in 2011.
Evin Lynch – RHP – Deltona, Fla.
Another player who comes from an athletic family, Evin Lynch comes to Stetson from the State College of Florida at Bradenton. A towering right-handed pitcher, Lynch stands in at 6-8, 220. He made 10 appearances on the mound for the Manatees in 2014, posting a 3-4 record with a 5.52 ERA. He recorded 31 strikeouts in 31 innings of work.
"Evin is a great addition to our pitching staff," Dunn said. "We are extremely excited that he is returning to Volusia County. We recruited him out of Trinity Christian before he went to the State College of Florida. He is a very imposing figure on the mound."
Before his two seasons in Bradenton, Lynch played at Trinity Christian Academy in Deltona. He was an All-County selection as a junior wen he posted a 0.78 ERA in 72 innings of work. He helped his team to back-to-back state titles in 2009-10.
Lynch has a brother, Paxton, who is the starting quarterback at the University of Memphis, and his dad, David, played college basketball at Texas Wesleyan.
Charlie Watters – INF/RHP – Gahanna, Ohio
Watters, like others in the Hatters' signing class, comes from an athletic family. He comes to Stetson from The Columbus Academy in New Albany, Ohio, where he played baseball, football and basketball for the Vikings.
"Charlie is a versatile athlete who can swing the bat from both sides of the plate, play both corner infield spots and pitch," Dunn said. "He was a three-sport performer in high school and comes from a very athletic family."
The son of former NFL player Scott Watters, who played linebacker for the Buffalo Bills in 1987-88, Watters' brother, R.J., is a member of the baseball team at Northwestern.
In his prep career Watters posted a 12-5 record on the mound while posting season batting averages of .436, .397 and .416. He also served as the quarterback for the football team, passing for more than 1,300 yards as a senior while also averaging better than nine tackles per game.
John Fussell – INF/OF – Briarcliff Manor, NY
Fussell comes to Stetson from San Jacinto North College in Texas where he hit .302 with two homers and 25 RBI in 48 games as a sophomore. Prior to his season at San Jacinto, Fussell played for one year at Westchester State where he hit .359 with four home runs and 41 RBI to earn first team All-Region honors.
"John will compete immediately for one of the three outfield spots," Dunn said. "He comes to Stetson from one of the top junior college programs in the nation. He runs and throws well and has power from the left side at the plate."
Fussell was a standout at Briarcliff High School where he collected scholarship offers from Wake Forest and Virginia Tech among others. He was an all-state selection in 2011 after hitting .506 with six homers and 32 RBI.
Walker Sheller – RHP – Ponte Vedra, Fla.
Another Florida native who comes to the Hatters from the junior college ranks, Sheller played one season at Lake Sumter College in Leesburg after completing his prep career at Ponte Vedra High School.
"Walker has the unique ability to attack the zone from different arm slots and could be highly effective in the set up role," Dunn said.
At Lake Sumter last spring Sheller appeared in 25 games on the mound in relief. He posted a 3-2 record with two saves and a 4.68 ERA in 32.2 innings of work.
At Ponte Vedra Sheller was of the 2013 state championship team, posting a 1.14 ERA during that season. He closed the last two games in the Final Four, earning the win in both games, to clinch the state title. He was also named All-County as an outfielder and led the county in doubles as a senior.
Brooks de Montluzin – LHP – Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
The final member of the signing class comes to Stetson from Seminole State College in Sanford where he played as a sophomore after playing at Florida State College in Jacksonville as a freshman.
Last spring, at Seminole State, de Montluzin posted a 2-2 record in 11 appearances, including five starts. He had a 3.10 ERA in 29 innings of work. During his freshman season in Jacksonville the left-hander posted a 2-3 record with a 4.89 ERA in 13 appearances.
"Brooks has experience in different roles," Dunn said. "He could become a valuable left handed situational guy and/or a possible midweek starter. Both he and Walker bring experience and are great additions to the staff."
His highlight that year came against Lake Sumter when he threw a complete game no-hitter, allowing just one walk and facing the minimum.
Over his final two seasons of prep baseball at Palm Beach Gardens, de Montluzin was a combined 11-4 with an ERA of just over 2.00. He was a first team All-District selection and was selected to play in the Dick Howser All-Star game.
The eight newest signees join a group of six players who signed with the Stetson baseball program during the fall early signing period. That group includes Austin Hale (Catcher, Maitland, Fla.), Ben Onyshko (LHP, Winnipeg, Manitoba), Cory Reid (OF, Port St. Lucie, Fla.), Shelton Schimming (OF, DeLand, Fla.), Will Whitlock (RHP, Gainesville, Fla.) and Brooks Wilson (RHP.INF, Lakeland, Fla.).

Published March 14, 2013
State wildlife officials have safely captured BB, a female peregrine falcon that had been nesting in MacKay Tower on the South Campus.
The capture came after the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), determined it was in the best interest of the falcon, as well as UB and the surrounding community, to place the bird in a federally permitted facility to permanently care for the bird.
Since 2010, the falcon has exhibited aggressive behavior by swooping down on people working on rooftops, as well as pedestrians on and near the South Campus. The incidents occurred during late spring and early summer when the bird had newly hatched chicks.
Two such incidents—one in which a UB employee suffered lacerations to the head—were reported this month, marking the first time the falcon exhibited the behavior before May. The potential for more incidents led DEC officials to decide to relocate the falcon.
"This type of behavior among peregrine falcons is unprecedented," said Mark Kandel, DEC regional wildlife manager, who led the capture effort. "By placing the bird with a rehabilitator, we will have prevented it from potentially harming someone and vice versa."
The male falcon, Yankee, likely will find another mate and remain in MacKay Tower or it could be displaced by another pair of peregrine falcons, Kandel said.
Threatened by pesticides, peregrine falcons were considered an endangered species by the federal government until 1999 when recovery efforts prompted their removal from the list.
They are still listed as endangered by New York, which works to boost the state's population of the bird. The effort is working, especially in Western New York, which has seven nesting pairs, up from one 20 years ago, Kandel said.
UB supports the state's effort. For example, university officials installed a nesting box that the falcons used to rear some of the 15 birds that they produced. UB also featured the nest on a webcam to promote understanding of the birds, a practice it plans to continue after the male finds a new mate or a new pair moves in.
I have enjoyed watching these baby falcons hatch each year and then grow up and leave the nest. If Yankee returns will the cameras still be on the nest?
Marge Winkler
There's nothing unprecedented about this. She is protecting her nest has her instincts tell her to do. She is no more aggressive than the average falcon. Placing her in a facility is outrageous. Release her somewhere else if her behavior is bothersome and allow her to be what nature intended. The real fear here is a human could hurt her.
Cheryl Welch
I checked the falcon cam yesterday and there was a falcon perched there; it probably was Yankee looking for BB. What will become of him?
Sue Czerwinski
Be happy BB -- oddly, a nickname given to me by my baby brother some years ago.
Debi Gregory
I agree totally with Cheryl W. This bird could have been relocated to continue living what has thus far been a fruitful and wonderfully wild existence. Another unwise wildlife decision by the DEC.
MJ Graham
Why not locate Yankee with BB? Why separate them? That's just very insensitive.
Mary Ackerson
I read the article about relocating BB to a facility that will care for her. I am looking at the falcon cam and there is a bird sitting on the stick. Is that Yankee, her mate? Where is the facility where BB was taken to? Kind of sad not to see her anymore raising her chicks, but I can understand the reasoning behind what had to be done. I have watched them for the last three years and found it totally fascinating watching the chicks grow and fly! Hopefully, another pair will take over the nesting site, and not be a problem with attacking people.
Linda Zukowski
I just wonder if there were threats made against BB, and if that is the case, I can understand the relocation. However, I can't understand why she couldn't be released in the wild. She certainly proved she wanted to live free!

UNIVERSITY PARK - Over the years, with its strong travel base, heretofore impeccable reputation and nationally renown coach, Penn State has always been a favorite son of the bowls.
That will not be the case this year.
"I can't see someone eager to take them," a bowl official told Brett McMurphy of CBS Sports.com. "I don't think you want that story on your hands. When you bring a bowl team to your community, you want warm, fuzzy stories about student-athletes. You don't want what's going on there."
McMurphy went on to say Penn State was described by one person involved in the bowl selection process as "toxic."
The Gator Bowl president has already said he doesn't like to recommend teams with an interim coach, the Jacksonville Times reported.
In the wake of allegations that former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abused young boys, and all the fallout that has accompanied, including Joe Paterno's unthinkable firing, the Nittany Lions are likely to hear similar thanks-but-no-thankses from the bowl folks.
Put yourself in a bowl's shoes: Beginning with the night you invite Penn State, you'll have to hold your breath every time the news comes on. And what if Sandusky decides to do another sitdown with Bob Costas? That won't exactly spike ticket sales.
The Big Ten has eight bowl bids and could end up with 10 bowl-eligible teams (at least six wins), including Penn State.
New Penn State President Rodney Erickson said Saturday that he thinks the Lions "certainly should be allowed" to play in a bowl if they're invited.
Interim coach Tom Bradley feels the same way.
"The players and the guys on this team didn't have anything to do with any of this that's surrounding them," Bradley said Tuesday.
Surely some bowl, even in an outpost, would be a consolation prize for the torture that the current PSU players have endured over the last week.
That's presuming the Lions don't win the Big Ten and represent the conference in the Rose Bowl, which on paper they still could.
At the same time, given everything this program has been through - a lifetime's worth of adversity in one week - the very best thing for the 2011 Penn State football season is for it to end as soon as possible.
That would take the spotlight off the football team and remove players from having to answer questions about things that allegedly happened when they were in grade school.
Further, bowl games can be an invitation for temptation or trouble - with kids, even disciplined ones, running loose in strange towns.
On how he'll handle such matters, home or away, Bradley said, "I made it perfectly clear that if you step out of line, I'm coming down quick and fast and hard."
Ending the season sooner than later would allow the school to get on with the massive task of finding a new head coach, hitting the recruiting trail and forging a new direction and a new image.
It would also allow the current staff, all of which is likely to be gone, a jump-start on finding new employment.
Erickson may say this team should go to a bowl game, but it won't be high on a pecking order and potentially winding up in some pre-Christmas game before 25,000 empty seats in 40-degree weather is not a reward.
The Lions definitely don't deserve to twist in the wind for a couple of weeks before finding out that few bowls this side of Hawaii are interested.
Getting out in front of the issue - for Penn State, that would be novel - is better than allowing some minor bowl committee to determine their fate.
Staying home for the holidays might not be fair to this year's team, but it's not nearly as unfair as the situation in which the Nittany Lions of today have been placed.

Hattie Elizabeth Merriweather Baker, a church leader, died Thursday in ElderWood Nursing Home after a short illness. She was 98.
Born Hattie Merriweather in Alabama, she moved to Lackawanna in 1937.
In 1944, the family moved to Buffalo, where they joined Macedonia Baptist Church.
Mrs. Baker was a choir member at the church and served as president of the senior choir. She also taught the Young Adult Mission and was president of the Missionary Society.
She led the missionaries in visiting the sick in their homes and at hospitals, and the group took Christmas baskets to the Erie County Home.
Mrs. Baker also taught Children Evangelism for four years at the church and was the first person to teach the Flannel Board sessions, craft-making and reed baskets.
For 14 years, she taught Children Evangelism and Release Time Classes – an after-school program – in her Buffalo home.
She was a Grey Lady at Deaconess Hospital and attended Bible study at the Buffalo Youth Time Center.
As a member of the Deacon's Alliance of Western New York, for 10 years she took 30 to 40 children camping.
Mrs. Baker moved to a 27-acre farm in Irving after her husband retired from Bethlehem Steel. There, she continued to be active in her community, organizing the senior citizens and serving as the organization's president.
She was a family care program provider for Gowanda State Hospital for 20 years.
Her husband of nearly 48 years, Henry Levi Baker Sr., died in 1978.
Surviving are five sons, Oscar, Ivor, DeWayne, Garry and Ralph; and two daughters Gertrude Thedford and Joni Mae Vinson.
A service will be at 11 a.m. Friday in Macedonia Baptist Church, 237 E. North St.

You may be thinking, "How can I
exercise when I'm so tired I can barely get through the day?" You
can do it, as long as you start out very slowly and are
careful not to overexert yourself. Most important, it will make you feel
Graded exercise starts out slowly and increases in very small steps. If your fatigue is severe, this can mean starting out with 1 minute of gentle movement, like stretching. And it means that you have a
plan and you stay with it, even when you're having a good day
and feel like doing more. This helps your body
make the changes it needs to cope with activity and exercise.
Studies show that light aerobic exercise, such as walking,
helps people who have
chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) feel more energetic and
less tired.footnote 1 Maybe you have avoided it because
you're afraid it will make you feel worse. But the opposite is true. Total rest
leaves your body in worse shape. It can also hurt your self-image by making you
feel as if you can't do anything for yourself.

there also are things you can do on your own.
Walking is an excellent
form of aerobic exercise for people who have chronic fatigue syndrome. Other gentle
exercises, such as stretching, riding a bicycle or stationary bike, or swimming, are also
good. Try to find a balance so that you are moving or exercising enough to benefit
from it but not so much that you get overtired. Here are some
things to think about:

Grace Hopper Celebration Initiative
Software Technology Research Group Programming technologies evolves rapidly and information about them can become outdated. We design techniques to automatically detect and repair inconsistencies.
Software Engineering Lab The goal is to provide an environment for experimentation in areas such as distributed systems, fault tolerance, databases, modeling and simulation, artificial intelligence and aspect-orientation, partnered with Quazal, EA Montreal, and EJ-Technologies.
Scientific Computing Lab In the subfield of numerical analysis, a sparse matrix is populated primarily with zeros. When storing and manipulating these matrices on a computer, it is beneficial and often necessary to use specialized algorithms and data structures.
Sable Lab The McLab project aims to provide languages, compilers and virtual machines for dynamic scientific languages, starting with the MATLAB language, and extensions of the MATLAB language such as AspectMatlab.
Reasoning and Learning Lab: Computational Linguistics We are investigating how to understand the meaning of a word, phrase, or entire passage using vector space models of semantics. The goal of our models is to make inferences about the state of the world based on the contents of the text.
Reasoning and Learning Lab Senses obstacles, uses programmed maps to localize and self-navigate through its environment, and helps individuals with mobility impairments achieve greater autonomy, who can communicate with the robot through a speech interface or touchscreen.
Pervasive Security and Privacy Design challenge for pervasive computing researchers: continuous sensing is useful, but how can we design such systems so that they use sensing when and where it is needed while respecting the privacy and comfort of users and others who may be monitored?
Network Dynamics Lab Organizations, governments, and companies are interested in understanding the people in groups they're interacting with. We're developing new techniques for inferring the demographics of physical populations using data from online networks like Twitter and Facebook.
Modelling, Simulation & Design Lab A $16.6-million national research network created to tackle the technological challenges related to the growing complexity of automotive software systems. GM of Canada Ltd and IBM Canada are mobilizing leading software engineers at 7 universities and in Montreal.
Mobile Robotics Lab This project deals with underwater and amphibious robotics, and is the umbrella for a host of different specific research probjects at McGill, as well as in collaboration with our associates at York University. Most of the sub-projects enatil work with out Aqua family of underwater hexapod robots.
Distributed Simulation Lab Developing a parallel environment for gate level simulation which incorporates our research on synchronization and load-balancing algorithms, with the intention to focus on the use of multi-core architectures, GPUs, and embedded circuit simulation.

Cryptography Lab We investigate the security of cryptographic protocols in a scenario where two special participants are placed "in isolation". Based on the concept of "non-locality" issued from quantum mechanics, isolation is in essence "no non-locality".
Computer Graphics Lab A new technique results in significant improvements in the efficient physically based simulation of highly detailed objects, taking into account topological details, varying material properties, and empty space.
Computer Games Lab Designing and modelling an agent comparable in size and complexity to a commercial AI using to formalism of layered statecharts. As a reference point, looked at the behaviour tree of Halo and reconstructed it using the new approach.
Computational Vision Lab How do we judge hills and valleys from smooth patterns reflected in a surface?
Computational Structural Biology Solve difficult scientific problems while playing a casual video game. We develop human-computing games such as Phylo to solve central problems arising in biology. Join the open-science movement!
Computational Complexity Lab Algebra is useful in understanding computations realized by finite-state machines. Extending ideas and techniques coming from these investigations to other research domains: boolean circuits, computational learning, automated verification, constraint satisfaction, etc.
Computation and Logic Group Beluga is a novel programming environment for trustworthy computing where programmers can specify sophisticated safety policies and weave proofs into programs. The goal is to establish safety of software systems via programming with proofs.
Comparative and Regulatory Genomics Can we tell what the genome of the first mammal looked like? Yes, with a clever analysis of genomes of extant species. We use inferred ancestral genomes and evolutionary scenarios to map the functional regions of the human genome and predict the impact of mutations.

Even celebrities get star-struck.
Modern Family's Julie Bowen confesses in the October issue of Health that despite winning an Emmy and being on a hit show, she still gets frazzled around certain stars.
"If I see Angelina Jolie, I have to look away ... She's like a unicorn," she says. "It's like, 'There's Angelina Jolie. We're not going to seriously stand here and pretend it's not like seeing a yeti, right?'"
Aside from gawking over Jolie, Bowen, 42, also speaks candidly about what it takes to maintain her youthful look.
"I've had lasers leveled at my face and I would like to do Fraxel," the actress, whose Emmy-nominated comedy returns Sept. 26, says. "I do find it odd people choose to do stuff that makes them look like crazy Hollywood faces, but I've got zero judgment ... I've worn some ugly shoes."
But Bowen balances the demands of show business with motherhood. The actress, who is mom to Oliver, 5 and 3-year-old twins, Gus and John relies on her brood to stay grounded.
"We have a lot of crazy dance parties in the shower," she says of children. "A dance party with three naked children and one fairly naked mother? There's nothing better."
As for her ideal date with husband, software developer Scott Phillips?
"Going to the movies. We get popcorn, Twizzlers and Milk Duds ... We eat like pigs at a trough."

Family Ties to Dairy Judging
Family Ties to Dairy Judging
Past WDE judging winners are keeping the tradition alive and in the family
By Taylor Pires, Hoard's Dairyman Editorial Intern
Most young dairy enthusiasts have a passion for dairying because that is what the generation before them did and they want to continue the tradition. Likewise, there are many families who have continued to show and judge cattle because their love for it has been shared and passed down from generation to generation. While family ties to dairy cattle judging are common, it is unique for members of the same family to win High Individual in a World Dairy Expo judging contest.
Father and son duo Charles and Mark Iager were both fortunate enough to have won the World Dairy Expo 4-H judging contest in 1958 and 1992, respectively. Charles got his start back in 1951 after joining 4-H and deciding to have dairy cattle as his project. "I grew into showing cattle and then judging cattle. They are hand in hand," Charles shared. With hours and hours of practice and dedication, Charles worked his way up to the Maryland 4-H judging team. He considers himself lucky to have been high individual, but true talent and good coaching brought him to the top. "I remember the Jerseys being the hardest class. It gave me a hard time but I remember my coach Johnny Morris saying 'your first impression is usually right.' I happened to win the Jersey breed too," Charles said.
Even with some challenges, Charles' skills got him through. At the close of the contest his coach asked him how he thought it went. "I said it was the easiest contest I've ever been in, not knowing how things would work out," Charles said with a laugh. He also couldn't have anticipated that he would one day have a son following very closely in his footsteps.
Brian Derr, Coach; Sapienza Majeskie; J. Lee Majeskie, Coach.
Seated - Chip Savage; Kristi Geary.
Mark also got his start judging in 4-H, at eight years old. In 1992, he was 15 years old and judging on the Maryland 4-H judging team, just like his father in 1958. He describes his experience as being very exciting. "They started announcing the placings backwards and I was hoping to be up there. As they got closer to first they hadn't called my name so I wasn't sure what was going on. Then they finally called my name," Mark shared.
Mark may have done as well as his dad did, but he never felt any pressure from him to perform in the judging arena. "Judging is just like looking at the cows in your herd. Every time I see a class it's almost instinctive to judge them. I just see them naturally," Mark said. While Mark didn't feel any pressure from his dad or two older brothers, they did offer him judging advice and passed down wisdom from their own coaches. "My dad always told me your first impression is usually right."
Judging has always been a family affair for the Iagers. They would even place the Hoard's Dairyman Judging Contest together, and won in 1984 and 1985. Their judging traditions continued after World Dairy Expo as well. Mark judged at local, county and state shows, and also served as an official for a few years at the Expo contest. Charles helped coach judging teams in their county after he won the contest, "I couldn't get out of it. I enjoyed it so much," he shared. The family also hosts teams on their farm to practice, continuing the tradition for other judging enthusiasts.
The author is the 25th Hoard's Dairyman editorial intern. She will be a senior at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. At Cal Poly, Taylor is majoring in dairy science with an agricultural communications minor. Pires grew up on a 500-cow dairy in Merced County, Calif.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In celebration of this month, Tahoe SAFE Alliance invites residents to join its staff on Saturday, Oct. 13th, at the Oktoberfest at Village Shopping Center in Incline from noon to 5 p.m. To help raise awareness about domestic violence, Tahoe SAFE Alliance will be holding a raffle for Chocolate, Wine, and Roses tickets and other prizes to Oktoberfest attendees.
In order to be entered in the raffle, Oktoberfest attendees will engage in an interactive story simulation intended to give participants a chance to learn about domestic violence through the eyes of a victim.
The activity, which is a modified version of an activity called "In Their Own Words," places participants in the shoes of a character who is involved in an unhealthy, abusive relationship.
Reminiscent of the widely known "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories, participants read their character's scenario and makes choices that determine the course of their story. Those choices will guide them to local businesses throughout the Village Center. It will be an eye-opening experience that will bring awareness and attention to our continued need to work toward maintaining safe, healthy communities in our region.
Tahoe SAFE Alliance has also reached out to the community by partnering with local coffee shops to spread the word about DVAM through the use of customized coffee sleeves. They are available at Java Hut in Kings Beach, Coffee Connexion in Tahoe City, Art's Coffee House and IV Coffee Lab in Incline Village, and Wild Cherries Coffee House in Truckee during the month of October.
Tahoe SAFE Alliance is a non-profit organization established in 1985. Its mission is to reduce the incidence and trauma of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse in North Lake Tahoe and Truckee. For more information, please go to www.tahoesafealliance.org or call 775-298-0010.

We are "FULLY" underway now! This marks the first full week of complete D3 action and there are too many games on the calendar I don't know where to begin.
Some Key Games This Week:
Do We Got It?: #5 Cabrini @ #11 Lynchburg
The Battle of George: #19 Washington And Lee @ #6 Washington College
First Big Test Up North: #10 Endicott @ #15 Williams - TUES
Game of the Week: #2 Gettysburg @ #3 Cortland State
This game will be played on Long Island and not in the frigid Upstate New York air. Gettysburg has to put Wednesday behind them and focus on the task at had; the 2008 Runners Up. Its one thing to get beat, it's another to get a beat down. I'm sure that Coach Janzyk will have the boys fired up for Saturday. If not, they could be due for a 5 or so loss season.
On the other side of the ball, Cortland has to prove that they just reloaded and are not going to take a year or two off to rebuild like some expected they would. They have opened up putting up big numbers and it looks as if their offense is running on all cylinders and it's only March.
Regardless it should be a high scoring battle. The Bullets pull this one out over the Dragons and save some face and maybe their season 14-12.
Although it's quite early here's a little recap what's been going on.
1. The first Major Upset took place on 3/5.
2. Salisbury is crushing opponents early on…again.
3. The north is shoveling off the fields and getting started.
4. The points for the top players have been coming in by the bucket load.
On a side note, with all the hits that Kylor Berkman's E-Lacrose blog has been getting, it makes me wonder how popular my blog would've been back in my days. But then again weblogs, Myspace and deep fried Snickers weren't invented yet so I would've been writing my posts on locker room walls in hieroglyphics.

Investigates Hot Links: Monday, April 27, 2009
It's Monday. So let's catch up on a few public-interest stories that caught our eye this weekend in The Dallas Morning News and around the Web-o-sphere:
1. Rick Perry has worked increasingly to position himself as made-in-Texas leader and his gubernatorial opponent, U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, as a typical ole Washington politico. News senior political writer Wayne Slater found that Perry, however, has pulled in more than his share of Beltway's campaign bucks over time.
2. Some state lawmakers who wanted fast reform of the scandal-plagued juvenile justice system, the Texas Youth Commission, in 2007 are now urging a slowdown. Powerful senator, Houston's John Whitmore, questioned their actions: "They appear to be trying to protect the bloated bureaucracies," he told the Austin American-Statesman.
3. The investigations team had a couple of stories over the weekend, which we'll discuss more later. But I wanted to get you thinking about them now:

The Social Justice Institute
History of The Social Justice Institute

I admit one of my main reasons for wanting to see The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman was that I'm a quarter Romanian.
We'd heard so little about it, so all eyes have been on Sundance, for news of the World Premiere screening.
Finally, some news, via USAToday :
Grint plays a drug-loving, aspiring porn star (his porn name is Boris Pecker) who befriends Shia LaBeouf in the story set in seedy Bucharest, Romania. His character enjoys powerful hits of Viagra that go well beyond the recommended dosage.
"He's so synonymous with the Harry Potter series, I think that's why he was so keen to do this," says Countryman director Fredrik Bond. "He's dying to be doing different stuff outside of the series and be acknowledged for it. He's an incredible actor. And it's so different from what he's done before. He had an amazing time.''
But British comic James Buckley, who plays his best friend in the film, had nothing but praise for Grint's departure role.
"He was great to work with. I didn't think about Ron Weasley at all. Which is the way it should be."
The two improvised many of their comic scenes together with LaBeouf. But the fun stopped in a scene when Buckley and Grint's characters find themselves shirtless and glued together back-to-back by Romanian gangsters.
"But they actually just glued us together," says Buckley. "It was really painful. And I'm a bit hairier than Rupert and it was hurting me so much. I hated it so much. And it was raining. So we were glued together in the rain."
Adding to their woes: The glue took days to come off, sticking Buckley to his sheets at night. Buckley called Grint to ask him how he was coping. Grint responded with his own Harry Potter-like cure.
Says Buckley: "Rupert told me he was using the little vodka miniatures in the hotel bar. He said it was really helping to get the glue off.''
Hopefully a distributor is as intrigued as I now am, and we'll have distribution news soon. We are inquiring about the nature of the project mentioned in the article and will update when we have news.

You'll notice very quickly that this looks almost exactly like a trailer hitch. And then you'll think of what this article is about and be horrified, even though your mind hasn't fully worked out the logistics yet. You just know that a trailer hitch sex toy is probably wrong in some way. And you'd be right. You'd be right.
What's that? You expect more from me? Well, since you insist -- yes, you loop the round part over your junk, spin that sucker back and then the hitch goes in your hiney. All of this presumably happens while you are conscious and not in an Eli Roth film.

#6. This Thing
At first glance, this appears to be little more than the rubber embodiment of nightmares and puckered anus molded into tiki form. Who wouldn't be turned on by such a thing? The answer is "everyone." Everyone should be disgusted by this, because gross. Seriously. It'd be like humping a Pokemon character that has a penis for a tail. Don't do that.
Fun Website Quote: We can make this item in all of the following Jelly Colors: Bubble Gum Pearl
#5. Permanent Plug/Showerhead
Tired of the way your cavernous, merciless ass always destroys butt plugs? Aren't we all. Thankfully, this aluminum plug is meant to withstand your asstruction, but it doesn't even end there. Read the description and you'll learn two horrible facts:
1. You can remove the center and, through a series of curious muscle contractions, crap through this thing.
2. You can then attach a shower hose to clean yourself out and possibly explode your insides.
If this doesn't amuse you in any way, you can also make use of this terrifying thing that was purposely modeled after a medieval torture device:

#4. Latex Vac Bed
The closest you'll ever get to being frozen in carbonite like Han Solo while Boba Fett watches and masturbates, this thing is a bed with two sheets of thick latex that can be vacuum sealed around you. Finally, the sexual thrill of being a supermarket pork chop can be yours.
Because the makers of sex toys are responsible, they recommend ensuring that the person in the bed can breathe before you seal them in, because they're so going to die if you don't.
Fun Website Quote: Never use this device for self-bondage.
#3. Bunny Hood
I don't know what sexual fetish this represents, beyond an unwholesome infatuation with bunnies, which is the sort of shit that gets people from Florida on the news. But if you're in the mood to maybe costume some characters in your Saw knockoff, or get people to leave your dinner party early, it may be a multipurpose sort of thing. I bet the inside always smells like teardrops and mischief.
Fun Website Quote: This animal face hood is hand crafted from premium garment leather by highly skilled seamstresses.
#2. Artificial Hymen
I read the description for this about three times in a row. It's like watching that scene in Ghost Rider 2 when Nick Cage is riding his motorcycle and trying to fight off becoming the Ghost Rider -- it just stuns you with its insanity, and you're suddenly enraptured.
If you can't tell from the wooden box, this is a fake hymen. The broken English on the site assures me that this is some kind of cellulose vagina plug that will quickly dissolve and leave you airtight once it's in place. Plus it lets you know that if you act shy and lay in a position that makes it hard for the man to get in, you'll really sell the lie. And they named it after Joan of Arc. So there's that.
Fun Website Quote: Implantation must act fast to avoid sticky fingers in the lead up.
#1. Anal Ring Toss
And finally we come to the entry that we felt we couldn't show you in any non-illustrated format, both because the images of it are too horrible and I figured everyone would rather see my party-robot doing this to Gladstone. I like to imagine that the sales pitch in the 80s toy commercial went something like this: "Hey kids, tired of all those old, boring party games? Does pin the tail on the donkey make you wonky? Is bobbing for apples appalling? Are lawn darts giving you long farts? That last one didn't make sense, and it doesn't need to, thanks to anal ring toss! Just jam the plastic rod up someone else's ass and throw rings at it. That's literally the entire point of this thing! Throwing rings at a plastic rod jammed in someone else's ass! Get yours today!"

Even though Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman begins narrating the new IMAX documentary "Born to Be Wild" with the line, "This story is like a fairy tale," the film is really aimed at all audiences.
But with the subject of the film being young, orphaned elephants and orangutans, Freeman was thrilled to hear that the film resonates with the youngest of children in the audience -- moviegoers who can no doubt directly relate with the youthful spirit of the animals as they are loved and cared for before they are set free with confidence into the real world.
"This is not 'Bambi.' This is not fantasy and this isn't a cartoon -- it's the real world and the real deal, and it's great that kids get this message so clearly," Freeman said in a recent interview. "The next two generations may be the salvation of us all."

Two Species In Peril

Opening Friday in IMAX 3D, "Born to Be Wild" tells the extraordinary story of two species in peril, and how two South African women -- Daphne Sheldrick and Birute Galdikas -- have dedicated their entire adult lives to rescuing young elephants and orangutans after the creatures' mothers lost their lives to poachers. Alternating scenes between each of the women's animal orphanages, the film follows Sheldrick and Galdikas as they raise the elephants and orangutans, respectively, as they nurture and eventually prepare them for their destinies as creatures in the wild.
Whenever you hear Freeman narrate a documentary, you can not only hear his voice, but feel that his soul has been invested into the project. So when telling the story of "Born to Be Wild," Freeman gained profound insight into the plights of the creatures orphaned out of select human's disrespect for wildlife and their environments.
"What comes to my mind watching this is how rapidly we are damaging the planet by just taking over everything -- by destroying habitats and killing off different species of animals. It's being done with such neglect," Freeman said. "There's just such of an overpowering need for space -- just to take it all."

A Sought-After Voice, Talent

Freeman is without question one of the most sought after talents in show business, not only for his voice talents but his acting -- which has over the years earned him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor (for "Million Dollar Baby") and another four nominations. He also narrated the Oscar-winning documentary "March of the Penguins," which put his voice in even higher demand -- and effectively made his choices more difficult to make because of the sheer number of offers.
"There are screeners between the projects and myself who will read the projects and will let me know if the project is worthwhile," Freeman said. "The other thing is, if it comes to me through a studio like Warner Bros., who I have a great respect for as a company, then I'm already a leg up. For 'Born to Be Wild," I saw the documentary before doing it, and I thought it was an astounding piece that was so beautifully shot. It's a wonderful story of these two courageous, selfless ladies."
All told, Freeman, 73, said he feels blessed to not only have had the opportunity to work on "Born to Be Wild," but on several different types of projects over the years.
But no matter if he's telling compelling stories about real life with "Born to Be Wild" and "March of the Penguins," imparting wisdom through fictional characters (Red in "The Shawshank Redemption" and Eddie in "Million Dollar Baby") or imparting wisdom through a real-life character in a narrative piece (Nelson Mandela in "Invictus"), Freeman said he approaches each of his projects with the same amount of conviction.
And on the flip side, when Freeman's work is said and done, the acclaimed actor said he doesn't like to play favorites.
"I don't think it's a good idea to rank your work," Freeman said, humbly. "I'm discerning, hopefully, in the things I choose to work on. Once you've done it, you hope that you've given it your best. I always try to give whatever my best is. So I'm really, fully unable to rank things. I hope you'll do that for me."

'Dark Knight' Rising Again

Freeman said he'll be returning to a role that's become a fan favorite in the superhero genre, for director Christopher Nolan's third "Batman" film "The Dark Knight Rises," set for a July 20, 2012, release.
Reprising his role as Bruce Wayne's business manager and gadget developer Lucius Fox, Freeman said he's anxious to reunite with the director and fellow stars Christian Bale and Michael Caine.
"I've been notified that I'll be in the next film, (and I'm thrilled because) we enjoy working together," Freeman said. "Chris Nolan sets up a great atmosphere."
Freeman said he's not surprised that the anticipation for Nolan's third and final "Batman" film is at a fever pitch, and he credits the bulk of the excitement generated by the filmmaker.
"They're very creative films," Freeman enthused. "To go back and recreate a franchise like 'Batman' and to have people go gaga over them takes cleverness."

A Moncks Corner woman was sentenced to 17 years in prison for a 2011 fatal DUI crash that claimed the life of 47-year old Candy Zoll.
Shana Cecil Robinson, 36, was found guilty of felony DUI when the car she was driving collided Zolls car off Broughton Road near the Moncks Corner Youth Fields complex.
According to court records, on Nov. 10, 2011, the night of the fatal crash, Robinson drank vodka at two bars before getting behind the wheel of her car and traveling down Broughton Road at speeds exceeding 75 mph, more than 40 mph above the posted 35 mph speed limit.
Prosecutors said a blood test exam showed Robinson was under the influence of alcohol, diphenhydramine (an antihystamine often referred to as Benadryl), trazodone, an antidepressant and clonozepam, which treats seizures and anxiety.

As I write this, the weather forecast for the next few days is "iffy." I have every hope and intention of being in the woods Monday at dawn to chase the big birds. But if the wind is blowing 40 miles an hour, and rain is pouring, I will forego the pleasure and stay home.
A couple inches of snow in the fall turkey season are a boon to the turkey hunter. Their tracks and scratchings show up vividly. Finding the tracks and scratchings will apparently be the big issue this year since in every place in the woods, on the area Gamelands where I have been so far this year, I have yet to see my first acorn or beechnut.
When the mast crop fails in a year, turkeys have to keep on the move to find a food source, some little pocket in a hollow where a few oaks have been able to spill acorns.
So more than ever, turkeys will be raiding cornfields so hunting them in proximity to corn and other grain fields will be most productive. Small game hunters who have been pursuing grouse, rabbits or squirrels this early fall will have a leg up - so to speak - on where to begin looking for the big birds. No doubt archers have run into more than one flock as well.
As a rule, in the fall, the mature longbearded gobblers - the ones that drove you crazy in the spring with their gobbling and evasive tactics - keep themselves separated from the flocks of hens and young.
They take no part in rearing the young birds through the summer and they don't much want to be annoyed by the screeching and scratching of young turkeys in the fall. If they keep any company at all it is with other longbeards.
However, if food is scarce, they may be found traveling with flocks, or at least nearby, in any location, such as a cornfield, where they can find something to eat. Nevertheless, there are some things to know about hunting the big, old extra-suspicious mature gobblers.
First of all, they seldom respond to the same calls that hens and young do. Old gobblers are not very talkative in the fall; they are not interested just now in attracting hens to themselves. So the high-pitched yelping and kee-kees (the lost calls of the young birds) are largely ignored by the big boys.
The most common fall hunting tactic for fall turkeys that has been proven down through generations is to "Find em' then scatter em.' " Turkeys are gregarious birds and spend their lives together as a flock, feeding, walking and generally softly yelping back and forth to keep in touch. If anything - a fox, a coyote, or a hunter comes upon a flock and sprints toward them to attack, the birds panic and fly/run in whatever direction they were pointed when they were startled.
Once a hunter has successfully scattered a flock of turkeys he next selects a good sport - right at the scatter site - pulls on his camouflage mask and gloves, gets his diaphragm call ready and waits a few minutes until things settle down.
Young birds, separated from their hen get panicky when they can't find "Mama." They begin to screech out what that hunter recognizes as the lost call of a young turkey - the kee-kee run. If the hunter can duplicate the sound of that call and he wafts it out in the air convincingly, the young turkeys will usually respond by making their way to the source of the call they hear which is the site from which they were scattered.
When a hunter finds an area that shows recent use by turkeys, he can set up shop right there and wait, counting on the fact that if turkeys have found food there, they will return to it. I often use this method and as I have said previously, I have a one-man chair blind with me.
I unfold it in less than a minute and sit comfortably while I wait. The blind masks any slight movements I might make and that is a big asset to me.
If you are lucky enough to bump into several gold gobblers together and you can get them scattered from one another, the game is much different. They may decide to reassemble with each other or they may not. It may not call to the other birds for another day. It's a tough business now. And they do not, as a rule, respond to the kee-kees and shrill yelps of hens and young that are trying to find each other.
The longbeards are suspicious of every leaf that falls. Thinking every shape or shadow they see is an enemy, if they call to one another at all it is usually with deep clucks or a few, slow-paced yelps. They usually will approach a site slowly, cautiously, perusing everything before they take the next step. It is a stressful time to the hunter to await the approach to within gun range of a big, old gobbler.
The choice every turkey hunter just make in the fall is whether or not to take the first turkey he has a chance at (which is most likely going to be a hen or young bird) or to hold out for a big longbeard. Much depends on how patient he knows he can be and how much time he has to devote to the quest. Many hunters start the season determined to hold out for the gobbler. Our resolve to hold out usually crumbles like a stale cookie when we run into the big, noisy flock in the woods. I am a crumbler; I don't have near the time to hunt fall turkeys that I would like to have so if I want wild turkey for Thanksgiving I take the first one I have a shot at. Sometimes I'm also out hunting for my Thanksgiving turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
I'm thinking that just might be the case if we get the predicted hurricane weather that is threatening us just now.

Luke Strand of the Holy Family
Parish in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, has a pretty interesting
ride. He drives around town in a black Volkswagen Beetle with a
logo featuring the phrase "God Squad" emblazoned on it.
That logo and the vehicle itself bear a striking similarity to the
mobile service vehicles of Best
Buy's service team, the Geek Squad.Apparently, Best Buy
isn't pleased with its look being appropriated by this man of the
cloth. Lawyers for the electronics retailer sent Father
Strand a
cease-and-desist letter telling him to ditch the logo or
face consequences. Father Strand mentioned the
letter at his Sunday Mass.Speaking to the Fond
du Lac Reporter,
Father Strand defended the logo. He says he uses the logo as a
creative way to spur discussions and bring his faith to the
community.Best Buy told reporters for the Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel that
while it appreciates Father Strand's sentiments, it cannot stand by
and watch its trademarks be violated.The legal dispute
revives a long ongoing question of just how much ownership to an icon
a company can claim. Apple, Inc., for example, has been
particularly zealous in legally assailing those who supposedly
violated its trademark. From New
York City to music
festivals, anyone who used the logo of an Apple -- or
particularly a logo of an Apple with a bite out of it -- was hit with
lawsuits or cease-and-desist letters.
