The State Police today arrested three registered sex offenders for violating their parole by accessing MySpace and Facebook despite a law that went into effect this January prohibiting their use of such Internet sites.
Stanton Ulmer, 32, of Neptune Township, Felice Black, 24, of Paterson, and Pietro Parisi, 34, of Westville, were arrested in early morning raids. Detectives also seized computers, a webcam, and a cell phone.
The State Police said the three men had posted profiles on MySpace and Facebook under their own names. Troopers in the digital technology investigations unit posed as children on those sites and engaged the three in conversations.
"We're not alleging at this time they were actively engaged in any kind of suspicious or illicit actively," said Lt. Keith Halton, assistant bureau chief of the Computer Crimes and High Tech Surveillance Bureau. "We're going after them because they were engaged on these social networking sites."
Each was charged with violating the provisions of parole supervision and released on their own recognizance pending court appearances. Ulmer had been convicted in 1999 for aggravated sexual assault; Black was convicted in 2005 for endangering the welfare of a child; and Parisi was convicted in 1996 of endangering the welfare of a child and in 2003 of sexual assault.

Demonstrators Regroup, Plan MLK Day Actions
While White House strategists and military leaders tear each other apart over a flawed military strategy and rosy-hued "liberation" plan, the broad array of protest groups that fought to prevent the Iraq debacle are retrenching their opposition. Unlike the antiwar forces that folded with the first Gulf conflict's quick resolution, organizers this time say they're in it for the long haul.
Organizers with United for Peace and Justice, the national coalition that organized last month's massive peace march in New York, say it's time to regroup support on the local level. They're calling for an "extended weekend" of local, decentralized actionseverything from educational forums and rallies to nonviolent civil disobediencestarting Friday, April 4, and continuing through Monday.
Many of the events will commemorate the assassination of Martin Luther King on April 4, 1968. Exactly one year before, on April 4, 1967, King argued from the pulpit of New York's Riverside Church that the campaign for civil rights could not be fought without opposing the Vietnam War.
Following in King's footsteps, organizers aim to dramatize the costs this war will place on states already facing the worst budget crisis since World War II. "We think it's an appropriate time for the peace movement to start focusing on the social justice part of this warwhere is the money coming from?" says Leslie Cagan of United for Peace. "The money being used to bomb people in Baghdad is robbing our schools, housing, health care, and social security. How dare they say they support the troops when they're slashing billions in veterans benefits," she adds, pointing to the $14 billion in cuts proposed by the House of Representatives.

Actions in New York include a funeral procession on Friday from Riverside Church, led by Christian, Jewish, and Muslim leaders, to honor Dr. King and the "dead and not yet dead" of this war. Participants will gather at 9:30 a.m. at Grant's Tomb, 122nd Street and Riverside Drive, and march down Broadway to Bryant Park. Speakers include Reverend Bob Edgar of the National Council of Churches, Imam Madhi Bray of the Muslim American Society, Rabbi Arthur Waskow, and Ron Daniels of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
On Saturday, the recently formed Black Solidarity Against the War Coalition (blacksagainstwar.com) is hosting a permitted march through Harlem. Participants will gather at Marcus Garvey Park (Fifth Avenue and 124th Street) at 11 a.m., then circle the neighborhood and arrive at the Harlem State Office Building at 125th Street and 7th Avenue.
"We want to give voice and visibility to the large percentage of African Americans who are against this war, and who have been largely overshadowed by the so-called mainstream peace movement," says Nellie Hester Bailey, a longtime tenant organizer from Harlem who is helping to spearhead the group. "We're the ones facing the brunt of the budget cuts, and now they want our sons and daughters to go over there and die for U.S. hegemony and oil," she adds.
The coalition has also put out a call for a national "Black Day of Absence" on April 4encouraging people to stay home from work in honor of King's memoryalong with a nationwide black boycott of Exxon/Mobil as one of the big oil companies standing to profit from the war.
"We picked Exxon because they have gas stations in every state where black people live," says organizer Sam Anderson. "And its board has given millions to Bush's presidential campaign." Similar boycotts are already under way in Europe, where folks are shunning McDonalds, Coca-Cola, and Marlboro cigarettes.
United for Peace is also backing the call for a nationwide day of civil disobedience this Monday put out by Direct Action to Stop the War (actagainstwar.org). The Bay Area group coordinated the thousands-strong street blockades that shut down the financial district in San Francisco for several days last month. Now its members are honing their tactics, moving from a strategy of widespread disruptions on the day the bombing started to protests that specifically target "war makers and war profiteers." In California, affinity groups plan to go after Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, Halliburton offices in Bakersfield, and shipping lines used to ferry munitions from Oakland docks.
In New York, members of the M27 Coalition (m27coalition.org), which staged last week's die-in on Fifth Avenue, are also targeting specific corporations with ties to the war. While plans are still in flux, the group agreed on Sunday to target the midtown offices of the Carlyle Group (58th Street and Fifth Avenue), a heavyweight investment firm with strong ties to the defense industry. One of its holdings is United Defense Industries, a maker of armored vehicles, missile launchers, and other advanced weaponry. Media firms and other companies may also be targeted on Monday.
Some organizers question whether calling for these kinds of direct actions in New York is a self-defeating strategy for a city under heightened wartime security, with the largest police force in the U.S. It took a court order to get police to release the bulk of the 215 protesters arrested last Thursday; many were held for more than 20 hours for minor offenses that normally warrant no more than a desk-appearance ticket.
Others say more civil disobedience is crucial, but the actions need to be large, disciplined, like those of the civil rights era. "The movement has to raise the stakes," says Stephen Bronner, a political science professor at Rutgers University who recently returned from a peace delegation to Iraq. "We need to keep ratcheting up the pressure in order to prevent more massive aerial bombings, because that's going to become ever more tempting as the war goes on and the quagmire deepens."
Cheree Dillon of the M27 Coaliton says her group won't bow down. "We've done marching and prayer vigils and petitions to the UN," she says. "We can't just sit by and watch these major players make money off of what is an unjust war."

The Future Leaders Institute
Rating: 5 stars 14 14 reviews
PO Box 22598 Oakland CA 94609 USA
The mission of The Future Leaders Institute is to engage visionary youth in generating and implementing solutions for society. The Future Leaders Institute (FLI) mentors youth across the San Francisco Bay area, supporting them as they develop individual initiatives and employ social entrepreneurship in the face of the world's most pressing needs.
What if every young person could pursue their dreams in a way that created real solutions to our community's everyday problems? They can at The Future Leaders Institute! The Future Leaders Institute (FLI) was founded in 2004 to engage high school youth in generating and implementing visionary solutions for society. Since its humble beginning of just 6 students at The Athenian School, FLI has moved on to serve over 600 students who have completed more than 75,000 service learning hours. Over the years students have raised awareness and funds for numerous causes and organizations in areas such as Education, Economic Development, Arts, Environment, Health, Poverty, Animal Rights and Technology. FLI is a 10-month program integrated into the school day which invites young people to discover their passions and to respond with action. The FLI Passion-to-Action™ curriculum and pedagogical approach is comprised of the most effective, research-based components of successful youth, education and service-learning programs. This curriculum has been developed over a decade of reflective practice and scholarly research in youth and leadership development, service-learning and education reform. FLI is a nimble organization that is aware of innovation and best practices in order to maximize upon each student's ability and commitment to contribute in meaningful ways. In each of the 23 partner schools where the FLI program has been implemented, students have moved beyond the limitations of their current education and evolved as models of hope for their peers and those who helped guide them. Through the FLI Program, each FLI participant: * Articulates a personal dream or passion and * Identifies three possible projects that offer to create significant community benefit * Researches the feasibility and social return-on-investment of the potential projects * Selects and initiates the project with maximum projected social impact * Receives $200 to launch their FLI project * Creates and manages a budget * Identifies and interviews community leaders who have realized the FLI member?s dream * Publicly presents his/her community impact and legacy at the Final Community Presentation

Reviews for The Future Leaders Institute
1 person found this review helpful
I wish I could have more than one role. I run a charity that hits on the same needs as the FLI, but a different age bracket. Let me say this, they have it right. Far too often with youth, organizations just want to teach the basics and move on. FLI's dedication to social impact and expansive empathy is top-notch. The team is also a joy to share a coffee with. Strong recommendation.

FLI is exceptional youth development organization. But it's not like any other. They go above and beyond. While small, they are top-notch at what they do programmatically, and do not cut corners. They are extremeley successful at building a solid base of positive and productive young citizens committed to and capable of creating a better world. The youth they serve typically come from lower-resourced communities, and they are each given the support, mentorship and structured guidance to create a real-world project doing something they dream of doing in a way that creates a tangible, lasting difference in the world. I know of no other organization that does this so successfully. To learn more, please visit: www.thefli.org. There's also a short, informative video about FLI here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBvZmVT2Ufw

Get the word out to more foundations and individuals who are intersted in leaving a powerful legacy. This organization needs more financial backing.

What is unique about this organization?
They "build bold humanitarian leaders" through real hands-on projects from start to finish. Each student leaves a powerful legacy that is meaningful to them. They dream it up, meet mentors, create the project, learn how to manage the budget, marketing, organizing... everything. It's quite astonishing!

Outside Looking In: What people outside the state are saying about Alabama:
- It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegone, but then they didn't get the snow they were expecting:
"They got our storm down in Alabama. These rank amateurs down there. They know nothing about blizzards," Prairie Home Companion host Garrison Keillor noted. "It's like the Super Bowl was played between the Indianapolis Colts and the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Middle School of Utica, New York. I mean, what do they do with a blizzard in Alabama? They go indoors, they order about 16 Netflix movies and they just wait it out."
- Almost 40 years after Title IX helped get high school and college girls and women into sports, participation varies by region, The New York Times notes: "Southern states like Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee still have big gender gaps, while Northern states like Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Vermont are closer to parity."

A quick look at the 2011-12 Temple Owls:
Reason to believe: Coach Fran Dunphy might not have his signature mustache anymore—he shaved it off, as promised, when former player Dionte Christmas graduated—but this year's Owls will bear Dunphy's other trademarks. They'll play relentless defense, grind out good shots and win a ton of games. This is an experienced Temple squad; nine of the 10 players who scored even a single point last season are back. The Owls' two returning leading scorers, guards Ramone Moore (15.2 points) and Juan Fernandez (11.6), are seniors and guard Khalif Wyatt (10.1) is a junior. That's a lot of security and experience handling the basketball.
Reason to worry: The one missing piece from last season's 26-win team will be the toughest to replace, though. Lavoy Allen was a rock in the paint for the Owls for four years. He averaged 11.6 points and 8.6 rebounds last season, and his defensive presence was unmistakable. Temple will look to Michael Eric, an athletic 6-11 senior, to fill that void. He averaged 20 minutes, 7.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks last season, but a patella injury ended his year after just 24 games. The Owls have the perimeter scoring and experience to be exceptional but need Eric healthy and contributing to reach their full potential.
Impact newcomer: Will Cummings, a 6-1 point guard, is the Owls' top recruit. Finding playing time could be tough, though, because the Temple backcourt is stacked. Not only are Moore, Fernandez and Wyatt there, but Aaron Brown and T.J. DiLeo also saw about 10 minutes a game last season. Cummings will see minutes during the season, though, just to prepare him for next season.
The big game: How to choose? Of course, the Atlantic 10 showdown with No. 18 Xavier (Feb. 11) will be a doozy, but the non-conference schedule is loaded with heavyweights. The Owls play No. 41 Villanova (Dec. 10), Texas (Dec. 17), No. 5 Duke (Jan. 4) and Maryland (Jan. 21), a slate that will keep their strength of schedule up high.

Baer Winery Ursa 2011
$43.95 Regular
The 2008 Baer Ursa was #6 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wine of 2011. The 2009 Ursa follows suit with gusto, billowing gorgeous, heady aromas. Like the 08, the palate is super plush and densely packed with black cherries, blue and blackberries, sweet black licorice and cocoa shavings. It's a WOW wine, and I highly recommend it. - Marcus
2009 Tanzer - 93 points - Good deep, bright ruby-red. Explosive aromas of black raspberry, mocha, smoke and tobacco. Sweet, seamless and shapely, with thoroughly ripe, complex flavors of plum, currant, leather and mocha. In a powerful style but not overly sweet. Finishes with lively blueberry and boysenberry fruit and building tannins. This lovely blend avoids the liqueur-like quality shown by many 2009 reds.
44% Cabernet Franc, 38% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec.
2009 Wine Spectator - 92 points - Firm in texture, this elegant wine has lithe core of black cherry, raspberry and floral flavors that extend into the long and inviting finish. Best from 2014 through 2019. - H.S.
The 2009 vintage has yielded a complex Ursa, offering aromas of ripe fruit � cherry and plum � tinted with savory herbs, black olive, vanilla, and a slight tingle of root beer. The blend plays on a slight shift in concentration on the percentage of Cabernet Franc, but still showcases luxurious Columbia Valley Merlot. Concentrated dense flavors that are full and ripe, with layers that will open with some cellar time. - Erica
2008 Vintage Tasting Notes
Number 6 of the Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines for 2011
7/2011 - While the 2008 Ursa is long gone, it's sister wine, Arctos, is still available. Arctos is driven by Cabernet Sauvignon. This dark red wine is deep and rich and has notes of plum, black cherry, black currant, and blueberry. Flavors include bay leaf, roasted coffee, sweet oak and black olive. The fine grained tannins persist through the smooth finish. Heck, we liked it better than Ursa, and chose it for our Big Reds wine club! It's the Cab-heavy blend of the two, with a bigger backbone.
2008 Wine Spectator - 95 points - This has great presence, offering a dense cloud of blackberry, cherry and spice flavors that hover, almost weightless, over a sleek frame of fine tannins, with just enough acidity to keep it fresh. The finish sails on beautifully. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Best from 2012 through 2020. - H.S.
Ursa is a red blend that is 53% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Franc, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot. Aromas of ripe black cherry, red berries, vanilla, wood smoke, roasted herbs and sweet oak. Flavors include hints of violet and spicy black pepper. Fruit forward, this wine pairs well with food or is a good stand-alone red.

As a follow up to the question on drinking a lot of diet soda, is there any health risk if the soda is sweetened by a natural artificial sweetener like Stevia, and the soda is caffeine free? -Sherwyn D.
Studies aren't definitive on whether "natural" diet sodas can still affect skin and teeth, increase vaginal cysts and breast masses, or correspond with heart attack and stroke.
There would still exist the problem ingredients (phosphoric acid and sodium) that can be part of a soda drinker's chemical addiction. Fruit, ginger or lemon/lime flavored diet sodas are a step up. Yet the flavorings are still acidic, which is a concern for tooth enamel erosion.
Plain carbonated water does not pose a problem, according to writers at Mayo Clinic and Scientific American. Carbonated mineral water or seltzer would be suitable choices as substitutes for caffeine-free naturally sweetened diet soda. – Debbie J., MS, RD

Yes folks, it's that time of year when editors get frivolous and allow the hacks to spin out their highs and lows of 2010. We're no different.
Hughes hails a 'season-defining' moment as Fulham seal their first away win in 27 attempts, with Chris Baird the unlikeliest of heroes at the Britannia.
The holiday season is here for the rest of us, but professional footballers face their busiest spell of the season. Train Christmas Day and an early night ahead of the Boxing Day games. Fulham's could not be bigger.
Two managers bite the dust in the past 7 days, and neither saw it coming. Board rooms are getting twitchy. Two men who meet on Boxing Day may be next for the axe.
The suffering continues down by the Thames as more ground is lost after another fruitless and frustrating performance from Fulham - just four points taken from the last 21.
Fulham are paired with Wolves for the worst current run of form in the Prem. There's no magic formula to football, you just have to score more than the opposition
With Christmas around the corner and just two league wins to our credit all season, Saturday's home game with Sunderland could be the tipping point in our campaign. Which way will it go?
What a week for football journalists. The media's been close to meltdown, starting with a record round of scoring last week in the Prem, El Clasico, the events of Zurich, now it's Arsenal.
A combination of adverse weather, Fulham's recent poor run and the Christmas shopping season prompts a remarkable club letter to Arsene Wenger. Read it here.

"It's prom," senior Chris Russell said. "You have to go all out."
More than 200 students attended Kalamazoo Central's 2013 prom, the first time the event was held at the Kalamazoo Country Club.
"The senior class made the decision to have it here," said Kalamazoo Central High School Principal Lisa Vanloo. "A lot of planning went into this. The kids and the advisor did a good job."
Vanloo said that students were offered a buffet style meal with musical entertainment provided by D.J. Dex with the purchase of their prom ticket. She said that for her though, it was all about what the kids were wearing.
Junior Nakiyya Spurlock also noted the attire, saying that it was nice to see everyone put so much effort into their outfits.
"It's the last dance for seniors," Spurlock said. "It's really important."
While the students were excited to revel in the glamor of the evening, it was bittersweet for the senior class advisor, Cindy Comrack.
"I am extraordinarily proud of them," Comrack said of her students. "They are all going to make extraordinary adults."

Homeowners in one Castaic neighborhood want a swarming bunch of bees to buzz off.
Last year, Brian Flatterbeck noticed his backyard was being infiltrated with dozens of bees swarming around his koi pond and pool. He did nothing about it. But now the pesky little honies are back. And after falling victim to their sting multiple times, Flatterbeck is taking action.
Flatterbeck, who is allergic to bees, said he and one of his sons have been stung four times this spring season. His other son was stung twice.
After some on-the-ground investigation of his own, Flatterbeck, who lives off Glade Court, discovered several boxes of bee hives located behind the hills of the neighborhood — less than a mile's walk from his home.
Flatterbeck distributed fliers to his neighbors, asking that residents experiencing similar problems to contact local government officials.
Castaic Area Town Councilwoman Renee Sabol said she has received complaints from about six residents in the Hillcrest Park area.
Sabol, who also lives in Hillcrest Park, said prior to hearing the resident's concerns she hadn't noticed any unusual bee activity in her own yard. But two weeks ago, there was a swarm around a tree in her yard, she said.
"I went up and did a little tour and saw that there are many bee hives up there (behind the hills)," Sabol said. "When I went up to tour, it was obvious someone had put some water barrels for water for the bees to drink. I still haven't talked to the owner."
"I don't mind if you want to have beehives, but oh my God, don't put them up against a housing tract," Sabol added.
Sabol said the Castaic Town Council was able to get a zoning enforcement representative from the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning involved.
"They're going to make a trip out next week," she said. Sabol said the area is zoned in such a way that a permit is not required for bees on the property. But "the county is going to send someone out and see if there are some things that can be done," Sabol said.
The zoning representative Sabol has been working with was not able to be reached on Friday.
Not all residents in the area have noticed much of a buzz. But Flatterbeck's neighbor, Lisa Aaron, said the bees, which congregate around her pool, become "quite a problem" when her family wants to use the pool or backyard during the day.
She recalled a day last spring when the bees almost completely covered a car the family had rented.
"It was like a horror movie," she said.
"It's affecting the neighbors and I'm hoping L.A. County or whoever, will take over and be able to convince the owner to move the bees.
They have to move ... we cannot coexist the way they are right now," Sabol said.
Flatterbeck is also determined to get the beehives removed.
"This is going to be resolved because we can't live like this," Flatterbeck said. "Our children and our pets are at risk."
Jason March, local owner of Traffic Pest Solutions, said residents who are worried about bees entering their home should keep all holes filled around their house and watch out for vents not screened properly.
For a resident who sees a swarm, March suggested waiting three days before calling pest control.
"A lot of times if it's just a massive bee ball, without comb; it's just a swarm and it's going to leave," he said.
For homeowners who want to enjoy their yards, March suggested hoisting a Tiki Torch.
"Anything that will make smoke will keep bees away," he said.

Anheuser-Busch: The Incredible Secret Story of the Fish That Got Away
This week, anxious Anheuser-Busch employees have been doing a little Monday morning quarterbacking over what the St. Louis brewer could have done differently over the years that could have prevented Sunday's decision to sell itself to Belgium's InBev.
Perhaps, some close to A-B have speculated, the company could have avoided this fate if it had months ago persuaded its Mexican partner, Grupo Modelo, to sell a controlling stake to America's King of Beers. (A-B bought an 18% stake in Modelo in 1993 and raised that to a 50.2% noncontrolling stake in the late '90s).
|The deal that got away?
But the Corona Extra brewer had always been hesitant about relinquishing its own treasured independence to A-B. And, while a deal was in the works as of last week, it wasn't clear that all the Modelo family owners were firmly on board, says a person familiar with the matter.
And things might have moved faster, with a deal reached even years ago, industry insiders say, had it not been for the cultural schism between A-B and Modelo that, while less prominent in recent years, has long colored relations.
The schism dates to the early 1990s and has to do not just with beer, but a fish. Yes, a fish. A very big fish, in fact.
When A-B was negotiating to buy a minority stake in Modelo, an A-B consultant, speaking metaphorically, told the brewer's then CEO, August Busch III, that he needed to "go hunting and fishing" with Modelo executives to win their trust.
An outdoorsman, Busch III took a literal approach. He invited Modelo executives to join his team for a weekend of sport fishing off the shores of Cabo San Lucas, where he had enjoyed his honeymoon. Modelo insisted on paying for the trip because it was in Mexican waters.
Under a bright blue sky early one morning, several boats fanned out in the Pacific. Busch III hooked a huge marlin, says a person who was on the excursion. As Busch III fought the massive fish, he was told he had a phone call–important business back in the U.S. Instead of reeling, Busch III took the call. He handed the rod to a bewildered Valentin Diez, a senior Modelo executive and major shareholder.
Busch III soon decided he needed to be back in the U.S. that night. The fishing, planned for two or three days, would have to end the first day. Busch III paced and stared at his watch. When told it could take up to four hours to land the marlin, he said that was too long, say people who were on the trip. Busch III said he needed to get back to shore soon for his flight home, and that the Modelo team needed to move expeditiously to bring in the fish.
"Diez felt awkward," says a person who went on the trip. "He thought, gee, how important is this deal [with Modelo] to August if we are getting rid of a fish and we're going back home and I'm playing second fiddle?"
Diez wasn't able to land the marlin. It disappeared into the sea within about 30 minutes.
Later, Diez remarked that he was angry that Busch III had been so aggressive and domineering when it was Busch III who had invited the Modelo executives on the outing, says the person familiar with Diez's thinking.
"That story explains it all," says another person who went on the trip. "You'll do it my way or you'll die."
Busch III declined to be interviewed for this blog post. Modelo declined to comment.
There was long tension between Busch III and Diez, say people familiar with the matter. Relations between the companies improved in recent years, with Busch III and his son, A-B's current CEO, August Busch IV, enjoying healthy relations with Modelo Chairman Carlos Fernandez. Still, if the two companies had become cozier earlier, perhaps neither Anheuser nor Modelo would find itself dealing now with InBev.

Lending a helping hand
Bat mitzvah project helps homeless children
Staff Writer
Isabella Malaga, 13, of Boca Raton, recently decided to give the gift of play to homeless children for her bat mitzvah project.
Malaga asked family and friends to save their change in the Houses for Change house-shaped, cardboard tzedakah (charity) boxes she distributed to guests before her celebration at B'nai Torah Congregation in Boca Raton in May.
Malaga collected more than $2,000 that was used to create a playground for the homeless children being assisted by the Delray Beach-based Family Promise of South Palm Beach County.
The new playground is at the Family Promise Day Center in Delray.
Volunteers from local churches, synagogues and other community groups alternate between serving food and providing company for homeless families in the Family Promise interfaith network.
Malaga volunteered by serving food and playing with the children, but was dismayed that the children didn't have a playground.
"We have raised Isabella to be philanthropic and to think the same way we do,†said her father, Marc.  "She's involved in many different charities, but she took a liking to this one and decided to help out the children."
Isabella also convinced Mike Skiera, owner of The Hitching Post backyard specialty store in Delray Beach, to contribute a playground set.
"We are very grateful for the opportunity to work with Isabella and the good people of Family Promise on the donation of this play set,†Skiera said. "We hope it will bring hours of happiness to the children and we are honored they brought us this request.â€
Houses for Change was founded by B'nai Torah member Mark Wasserman, of Boca Raton, who came up with the idea for the house-shaped tzedakah boxes four years ago to raise money and awareness for the homeless and provide an experiential project for kids.
Wasserman said that in the past four years 30,000 kids across the country have raised $400,000 for homeless charities through Houses for Change. Locally, $6,000 has been raised for Family Promise of South Palm Beach County.
For more information, visit http://www.familypromise.org/housesforchange or contact Wasserman at email@example.com or 561-699-5116.

My wife and I are experiences cruisers with thirteen ocean cruises and two river cruises in the past. We have sailed with RC, Celebrity, Norwegian, Carnival, and Princess previously.
Our only previous experience with Princess was the Golden Princess in 2001 shortly after it entered service.
We picked this cruise because of its wonderful itinery - Venice, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Sea day, Instanbul, Mykanos, Athens, Santorini, Rhodes, Kusadisi, Crete, Sea, Naples and finishing at Rome.
We had a great overall cruise but were dsiappointed with the dining room and the buffets. In my opinion, the food quality has gone down considerably since our last Princess cruise in 2001 and is not as good as RC or Carnival. We had a table of eight in the Boticelli dining room and two couples did not go to the dining room at all because of the food the during last week of the cruise.
We ate twice at the extra cost Crown Grill and it was excellent.
Our cabin was on deck 11 aft. We like to go to the casino before dinner, but it is awkward from this location. You need to travel to mid ship before you go to deck 6 because if you take the aft elevator to 6 6 you can't get there because the kitchen blocks your access. After we are done at the casino we needed to go up to deck 7, head aft and then drop down to 6 for dining. The Golden Princess is the same as I recall.
Shore excursions and departure day were very well organized. The quality of the excursions including the guides was very good.
Overall, I would rate the service quality as average at best. We have had better service on other cruise lines.

The Center
A topic for discussion:
Move from the center or move your center? Is there a difference? If yes, why? And why/when would you choose to do one or the other?
Take care,
Mark J.
Re: The Center
Funny you write this, as I was mulling this over tonight while practicing my breathing.
I "move from my center" (or "one-point"). This is different than the center moving first, as I think I've heard it mentioned. Unless of course you view the center moving first, without any perceptible time lag, between its movement and the rest of your body (if that makes any sense). In other words, total body movement at one instance, without a set-up.
Now, moving the center does not require the body to move. And can be an exercise in itself, or ... a tool.
In any case, I think all this extra breathing is doing a number on my brain. Good questions to ponder, though.
Re: The Center
IMHO, moving the center is perhaps some of what they have been talking about in the internal aspects, its very subtle and perhaps isolated, standing.
Moving from the center is to initiate full body movement (irimi, tenkan) from the center.
Re: The Center
Following is a paragraph from 'nlp for lazy learning: how to learn faster and more effectively' by Diana Beaver (bottom of page 82).
"When clients come to me with broken bones, we do exercises in their imaginations; the leg may be in plaster but in its imagination it is running, jumping, walking - doing whatever its owner likes doing. All the micro-muscles are at work, and when the plaster comes off, the bone is well healed and the muscle wastage almost non-existent."
So by using visualization we alter or affect our bodies. I find this concept very interesting and wonder to what degree and to what affect can I use visualization in my training and daily life?
There was another post on this thread that the owner quickly deleted, not sure why, but the general jist of the post was that this individual did not know what moving the center meant or if it was even possible. He knew what moving from the center was but not moving the center and thought it might be a simple play on words. Good questions, IMO.
If we use the above information about visualization and apply it to moving the center what affect can be achieved? By visualizing moving the center can it help us move from the center? By visualizing moving our center can we apply the resultant affect into other movements, and if so, to what affect. Hint: The more detailed the visualization (too include feeling, sight, etc) the greater the affect. Caution: This type of exploration is not for everyone. Those interested must constantly struggle to increase the awareness of their bodies, thoughts and emotions.
Just a few thoughts to ponder and enjoy.
Take care,
Mark J.
Re: The Center
Re: The Center
Is this correct:?
Training the center through methods such as ki-breathing and visualisation of imaginary ether condensing into your hara, trains one's sensitivity with the center and conditions it such that it can better serve as a "junction box" controlling (i.e. direction and power control) of the long whole-body connection vectors.
Of course if your "transmission system" (the rest of the body) is crap (e.g. not relaxed, unable to maintain the state of fully relaxed connectedness) then you've still got nothing even if you have a strong center since the force vectors just get cut off in the tension spots. That's why we train for relaxedness first and foremost.
Please correct my misunderstandings!
Re: The Center
Re: The Center
There needs to be basic, underlying structure to create the existence of "relaxed connectedness>" I think that the Ki Society stuff was intended to build build that but from my limited experience that inforamtion is lost in translation.
At times now I'm playing with how little tension I can hold and still get stuff to work but I am a babe in the woods at this kind of internal training.
Re: The Center
Hi Chris,
Remember that line from the Seiseki Abe interview where he said O'Sensei's body and muscles would be all flabby when he massaged im, but popped to be as hard as steel when he put his "qi" into them? Yeah!

on January 9, 2013 - 12:05 AM
A North Collins man who breeds smooth fox terriers was named the American Kennel Club's Breeder of the Year at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship dog show in Orlando last month for his lifelong dedication to improving the health, temperament and quality of purebred dogs.
James W. Smith, whose kennel is named Absolutely Smooth Fox Terriers, was nominated in the Terrier Group and selected for the top honor by a committee made up of American Kennel Club employees and board members.
The ceremony in which Smith wins the award will be shown on ABC TV on Feb. 2, during the two-hour broadcast of the dog show.
"I was surprised, and delighted, of course," says Smith.
"Congratulations to Jim," Michael Canalizo, AKC's director of event management, said in a statement. "The American Kennel Club knows that the breeders of purebred dogs are the backbone of our sport, so we're proud to honor them each year at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. Being recognized as Breeder of the Year is one of the highest honors achievable."
To be considered for Breeder of the Year, the AKC requires breeders to have at least 20 years of experience, during which they have exhibited integrity and good sportsmanship. They must be active in a specialty breed club and must have bred a "substantial number of champions," especially when compared with the number of puppies produced. The dogs they have bred must also be well-rounded, participating in various contests, such as obedience, agility and field trials.
AKC spokeswoman Lisa Peterson said Smith's years of involvement in many different facets of canine health, training and welfare led to his selection for the honor. "When you look at Jim's bio, all the different offices he's held in different dog clubs show a really high level of community service and volunteerism and public education about purebred dogs, which is really at the essence of what a responsible breeder is. All these different things give him a broad range of experience and the ability to connect with a wide variety of dog-lovers. When you look at that body of work, along with his work breeding dogs and showing dogs, it's that complete package that would make somebody like Jim a winner."
Smith's name will be inscribed on a perpetual trophy, and a portrait will be commissioned, not of Smith himself, but of a prominent dog from his kennel. The portrait and the trophy will be on permanent display at the AKC headquarters in New York City.
For that portrait, Smith thinks he will select a dog named Absolutely Ohno. "How he got his name is a very interesting story," says Smith. As his mother got close to giving birth, she was taken to a veterinarian who examined her and said she was not carrying any puppies. "So she was put back into regular housing. Three days later she came in with a puppy in her mouth," Smith says. "And the first person who saw her said, 'Oh, no!'"
Absolutely Ohno had a relatively short show career, but, says Smith, "He has turned out to be an absolutely fantastic stud dog. He outproduces himself every time."
Smith, who attended his first dog show as a boy, has bred dogs for more than 55 years. His first terrier was a wire fox terrier, which has a coarse, wiry coat that "require[s] a great deal of not only skill, but time and effort," says Smith. He bought his first smooth fox terrier in 1962 and has owned them ever since.
Smith has served three terms as president of the American Fox Terrier Club. A delegate for the Dalmatian Club of America for 26 years, he also represents the Washington State Obedience Training Club. In the 1990s, during a hiatus from breeding and showing, Smith served as a member of the AKC board. He has also served on several AKC committees.
Peterson noted that Absolutely Smooth has produced more than 50 bred, owned and campaigned champions; Best in Show winners; national and regional specialty winners; and numerous group winners. Smith insists on sharing credit with Dana Gabel, his kennel manager, and professional handlers Eddie and Lesley Boyes of Grass Valley, Calif.
Smith is the first breeder from Western New York to win the Breeder of the Year award, which was established in 2002. In 2006, Sandra D'Andrea of Lockport was named best breeder in the Working Dog group for her kennel, Nanuke Alaskan Malamutes.
Each year, a nominee for Breeder of the Year is selected from each dog group — sporting, hound, working, terrier, toy, nonsporting and working. Each nominee has been involved with purebred dogs for decades. But for many of them, work with dogs "becomes a lifelong passion and lifelong education," says Peterson. "You never stop learning about dogs or about breeds or breeding, training, showing. There are always new people to meet, new things to learn out there."
Life goes on for Smith, with one exception. "As I have said to people, now I have to live up to expectations," he says with a chuckle.

UK HealthCare values the health and well-being of everyone who uses our facilities. If you use tobacco products and would like to quit, discuss with your physician or other health care provider which of the approaches may work best for you.
What does tobacco-free environment mean? Smoking or use of any tobacco product will not be permitted in any facility or on any grounds owned or leased by UK HealthCare.
What is considered a tobacco product and therefore prohibited by this policy? Tobacco products include, but are not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, electronic cigarettes, snuff and pipes.
What areas of the UK HealthCare campus are included in the policy? All areas of the main campus, including the medical center, are included. Maps are available at information desks or the Customer Service offices located at UK Chandler Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital. Clearly visible signs are also in place to indicate tobacco-free boundaries.
Does the tobacco-free environment extend to off-campus facilities? Yes. The use of tobacco products is prohibited in all UK HealthCare off-campus structures and facilities such as Kentucky Clinic South, Polk-Dalton Clinic and Good Samaritan Hospital. UK HealthCare employees working in leased properties are not allowed to use tobacco within 20 feet of the leased building.
Do employees, patients and visitors have to quit using tobacco? No. UK HealthCare is not asking anyone to quit. This policy simply means that no one can use tobacco products on UK HealthCare property.
Can one use tobacco products in the parking garages or shuttles? No. The policy prohibits use of tobacco products in any parking structure, parking lot or shuttle serving UK HealthCare facilities.
Can I smoke at the VA? As a federal facility, the VA Hospital will enforce its own policies regarding tobacco use. Its smoking facilities only accommodate VA patients, visitors and personnel. The VA Hospital has asked to be included in the university's tobacco-free zone as an indication that UK personnel, patients and visitors are not to use tobacco on VA property. Violators are subject to a federal citation.
Why can't individuals use tobacco products outside of UK HealthCare facilities? Tobacco use, smoking and second-hand smoke have been proven hazardous to a person's health. UK HealthCare strives to provide an overall healthy environment to employees, patients and visitors, indoors and outdoors.
Are other hospitals tobacco-free? Yes. Thirteen medical facilities in Lexington and surrounding communities-and more than 48 throughout Kentucky-also prohibit tobacco use. More than half of the hospitals and medical centers across the United States already have similar policies in place.
What does UK HealthCare offer to employees who want to quit using tobacco products? UK HealthCare offers a variety of treatment resources to help employees quit, including a prescription benefit, health and wellness programs on tobacco treatment, individual counseling and treatment with a Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialist, as well as counseling on nicotine replacement and other therapies through Kentucky Clinic Pharmacy.
What if someone is in great stress and really needs to use a tobacco product? Resources are available to help users manage tobacco use. Nicotine replacement gum is sold in the Chandler Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital gift shops. Over-the-counter and prescription products are also available at Kentucky Clinic Pharmacy. Employees may also use the University Health Service pharmacy.
How do patients who are dependent on tobacco seek help? UK HealthCare clinicians are trained to determine a patient's level of tobacco use and make arrangements to provide them with appropriate resources such as nicotine replacement options and other therapies for managing or quitting tobacco use. For more information, ask for our brochure titled "Tobacco Use: What to Expect as a Patient." This brochure is available from Customer Service, in literature racks or by calling UK Health Connection at 859-257-1000 or toll free 800-333-8874.

GW Men's Tennis Earns 4-3 Victory Over East Carolina
Colonials Edge Pirates to Post First Win of 2013 Season
Feb. 1, 2013
Box Score | @GWMensTennis | @GW Men's Tennis on Facebook
MCLEAN, Va. - The George Washington men's tennis team picked up its first victory of the 2013 spring season on Friday with a 4-3 win over East Carolina at the indoor Regency Sport and Health Club in McLean, Va.
The Colonials (1-1) earned the doubles point with wins at the Nos. 2 and 3 positions, then went on to post victories at No. 3, 4 and 6 singles to hand the Pirates (3-1) their first loss of the season.
"ECU came to play today and we still had some nerves, but in all it was a complete team effort that won the match for us," said head coach Greg Munoz. "You win as a team and you lose as a team. It took a lot of hard work this week, but we were able to establish a more physical presence on the court."
GW opened the match with an immediate 1-0 lead after claiming the doubles point. The No. 2 pair of junior Nikita Fomin and freshman Danil Zelenkov - the No. 9 doubles team in the Atlantic Region according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) - earned an 8-7 (4) victory over East Carolina's Damien Brenard and John Schmitt. The No. 3 tandem of sophomore Francisco Dias and senior Leonardo Lapentti handled the team of Ross Nigro and Patriek Wolterbeek, 8-4.
"Winning the doubles point for two straight weeks has been a sign that our teams are connecting well," said Coach Munoz. "We expect them to continue to get stronger and understand each other's strengths and weaknesses."
In singles action, Zelenkov downed Brenard at the No. 3 spot by set scores of 6-4, 6-2. Senior Alexander van Gils earned a 6-3, 6-3 win over Colin Roller in the No. 4 match and Thomsen defeated Blake Gregory, 6-1, 6-2, in the No. 6 position.
Dias - the No. 96 player in the country - fell to ECU's Joran Vliegen, 6-3, 6-0, in the first-flight match. Fomin - who is ranked No. 96 - dropped a 6-4, 7-5 decision to Schmitt, and Lapentti fell to Wolterbeek at the No. 5 spot in three sets by scores of 6-1, 0-6, 1-0 (5).
GW returns to the court on Friday, Feb. 8 when the Colonials travel to Old Dominion for their first road match of the year. Action in Norfolk, Va., is slated for 1 p.m.
George Washington 4, East Carolina 3

How come I can't find Devilman or Amon: Apocolapse of Devilman or any other title by GoNagai at Manga.com on Xbox Live? I couldn't even find Gantz! This is very dissapointing.Manga Entertainment released the two Devilman OVA's in the United States so why wouldn't it be available?And what is with the annoying little snippets of commercials that interupt the movie I choose to watch. When I watch something from Netflix on Xbox live I dont get interrupted by commercials. This is horrible.

Carbonite Inc. which sells itself as a safe backup for a customer's important computer files, faces a proposed class action led by a California law firm that lost vital data when the backup system suffered a serious glitch.
Shainfeld & Anvar which advertises itself as a boutique "consumer law" firm dedicated to "helping protect the rights of people who are wronged," wants to do just that for others of Carbonite's 1.5 million customers who it says might have fallen victim to a similar data disaster.
The Santa Monica firm on June 4 filed complaint in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California that alleges the data backup firm violated California consumer-protection and business laws, and engaged in unjust enrichment, false advertising, fraudulent concealment and breach of contract.
The law firm says it is particularly angry that Boston-based Carbonite didn't alert it quickly that its supposedly backed-up data in Carbonite's system had been corrupted on April 10.
Instead, Shainfeld & Anvar learned those files were kaput on April 28, when it tried to access its in-house computer network only to find a hardware problem rendered it inoperable, according to the complaint. The law firm contacted Carbonite to secure the duplicate versions, only to be informed that, those files could neither be retrieved nor restored, due to the glitch.
The complaint, Shainfeld & Anvar v. Carbonite, says the law firm paid $800 for Carbonite's services and seeks restitution, damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees and costs.
The plaintiffs' attorneys are Todd Friedman and Nicholas Bontrager of the Law Offices of Todd Friedman.

Today, marketing copywriting is already recognized as one of the most practical and effective means for marketing online. If you have not yet integrated this marketing tool with your list of strategies, then this article may just convince you to do so.
Creating and publishing content online can be difficult and challenging. This is probably the reason why many businesses prefer to use other online marketing strategy that is not too labor intensive. However, marketing copywriting is worth every single effort you exert because of its long term benefits for your business or brand.
Five Key Benefits of Marketing Copywriting
For those who are still indecisive about using content as a marketing strategy online, here are some of the compelling benefits that marketing copywriting offers:
- Captures Targeted Traffic. Those people who are most interested in your content are the same ones who visit your website. If you focus your content on whatever it is that you want to market or promote, then this traffic will be highly targeted.
- Offers Long-Term Advantages. Compared to other marketing methods, content such as articles or blog posts will continue to drive traffic even long after they were published or posted. Most especially if the content you have created is unique, relevant and high quality.
- Cost-effective. The only investment involved in creating and publishing content is your time and effort. That is why the use of content to market your business online is certainly easy on your marketing budget. You get more results without having to pay for it.
- Establishes Your Credibility. Building your reputation online is not an easy thing to do because the Internet is an impersonal medium. Creating and publishing more content will give you online exposure and recognition. It lets your audience know who you really are as well as the level of your expertise. If your name is associated with the quality of content you publish, you are also regarded as an authority on the subject matter.
- Excellent SEO Technique. The more you publish content that links back to your site, the more incoming links your site can get. The frequency of your publication is also favored by various search engines because they always look for new and unique content they can rank. These two aspects will help you website achieve higher rankings. This brings more organic traffic for you which are much targeted.

I was just curious how it differed from normal ID Glide. Is it a warming type thing like KY Warming or what?
I was just curious how it differed from normal ID Glide. Is it a warming type thing like KY Warming or what?
I have it and I love it. It does not warm, like KY warming. It has L-arginine which when taken internally, is supposed to give you better erections but I don't see where it helps when applied externally. It also has menthol, rather light, so it gives you a little cool sensation when the wind blows : ) I've never had a better lubricant however, and purchased a 35 oz bottle. If they sold this stuff in a gallon container, I'd probably buy that as well because this stuff rocks!
I also ran through a bottle of this rather quickly.. imo.. with regular id glide i had to dilute it 50/50 with water.. and i didn't do so with ID Pleasure and it seemed to work just fine, i also didn't notice any "enhancing" effects with the L-argenine but to each their own i guess
I've used both ID Pleasure and just the plain ole ID Glide, and I prefer the glide. The menthol is fine for spicing things up every once in a while, but I prefer the "normal" slippery lube without the extras for most of my sessions. For those who like flavored lube, ID also makes a "cool mint" lube that has menthol in it like Pleasure, and smells minty fresh too! :-)
I've been using ID glide and astro since I got mine SB mouth... I recently saw the TV adds for the type "she" uses, the type "he" uses and when mixed together "pow!". Anyone try this yet? SOunds like marketing fluff to me. :-)
i like the pleasure better than the others as well... ive yet to have a problem with it or the glade... but am a little dissappointed on the WET one.. its a little too runny for my tastes...

Kegs & Cluckers: Camp Out in NYC This Weekend
Normally, the mere suggestion of a camping trip would be enough to end our friendship on the spot.
But this shit going down at the Queens County Farm this weekend actually sounds like, dare I say it, fun:
"Come spend Labor Day at the Queens County Farm Museum. Camp out in the orchard, eat a down home dinner of smoked chicken, pickles, baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw, pie, and more from Sweet Deliverance.
Brooklyn Brewery will provide their Autumnal offerings, Oktoberfest and Post Road Pumpkin Ale, in addition to the tried and true Brooklyn Lager. Your $80 ticket covers the cost of beer for the whole night. And wake up the next morning to Bloody Mary's, biscuits, fritattas and coffee."
You can even rent a tent ahead of time at Tent Trails in Manhattan if you're not all outdoorsy-n-shit and don't have your own.

Sydney to Hobart yacht race creates post-Christmas buzz
Each year courageous seafarers battle it out to reach the capital of Tasmania in a 628 nautical mile dash to the finish line.
The annual Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race sees competitors leave Sydney Harbour and steer their boats almost due south as they attempt to be the first to reach Hobart.
Setting off on Boxing Day – December 26th – at 13:00 local time, hundreds of crew will begin the event at the world-famous location.
The plucky sailors will then embark on a journey that will see them brave the elements on the fringes of the Tasman Sea before taking on the Bass Strait on their way to the finish line.
Friends and family of the crews and yachting enthusiasts the world over will be able to view of a state-of-the-art 'yacht tracker' on the event's website which uses the latest GPS technology to keep tabs of each craft as they proceed in the race.
The event began in 1945 and has seen some of the finest yachtsmen and women compete – as much for the prestige of victory as for the ample prize money on offer.
Sydney – Take a cruise of Sydney Harbour or relax on the white sands on Manly Beach.

Beaks grow and flake, with some species more prone to flaking than others. The upper beak, called the rhinotheca, of some species tend to overgrow in length, and, with other species, the beak tends to become "thickened" with excess growth. With still other species, the lower beak, called the gnathotheca, tends to grow too long. While liver disease can cause the beak and nails to overgrow, sometimes overgrowth is simply that, the beak not wearing down normally due to inadequate chewing activities.
When I perform a physical examination on a bird, I evaluate the beak for symmetry and for abnormalities, including excessive growth. In some cases, especially when dealing with an overgrown gnathotheca, a portion of the lower beak breaks off on one side, resulting in the rhinotheca curving to one side. This can cause a permanent deformity if not corrected in time. Although a normal, healthy beak should wear down properly through normal chewing activities; this is not always the case.
Because the beak does not always wear down the way it should, there are times when it is advisable to trim and shape it to normal dimensions. However, consider these important points before having a beak trim performed on a bird.
Point 1: The avian veterinarian must have a good idea of what that species' beak normally looks like in order to perform a trim that closely approximates what is normal. An avian vet should know the "normals" for the species that he or she is working on — whether or not the beak is of normal size, shape and length — or he or she would consult a text to find this out prior to attempting a beak trim. A beak trim is a serious procedure.
Point 2: Find out how much is being taken off and with what tool. During a trim, if only excess beak tissue is removed, usually by a high-speed grinding tool, this is similar to filing fingernails. It doesn't hurt because you are only filing away dead keratin (beak and nails). It is also not dangerous to the bird, because only this excess tissue is removed.
However, using a high-speed grinder, such as a dremmel tool, can cause pain, because heat is generated by the friction. Unless the veterinarian is very careful and pays close attention to the amount of heat generated, this friction/heat could cause the parrot pain and potentially permanently damage the beak tissue.Grinding the beak down to the living tissue causes bleeding, and it is possible to introduce infectious organisms. This can also be quite painful to the bird, as there are many nerve endings in the beak's tip.
Beak Tendencies Among Bird Species Find out more about species specific beaks. More>>
Point 3: If this procedure must be performed, general anesthesia may be required, and the procedure should be performed aseptically. After cleaning the beak with a disinfectant (making sure the bird does not swallow any), the vet should use a new grinding head to minimize the risk of introducing microscopic organisms during the procedure. I keep grinding heads for each client in plastic bags with their names on them, and I use a different one for each client because it is impossible to completely disinfect a rough grinding head, ensuring that the heads do not serve as a method of inadvertently transmitting disease from bird to bird.
Anesthesia may or may not be necessary for corrective grinding. This must be decided on a case-by-case basis and depends on any expected pain during the procedure and whether or not the veterinary team can safely and humanely restrain the bird for the procedure.
I never recommend the use of a metal speculum when working on a beak. Because a bird can bite down quite hard, and the metal has no give, it is very possible to injure or damage the beak. Instead, a softer, appropriately-sized dog GummaboneTM, can be used as a speculum, if necessary.
In many cases, it is possible to manipulate the beak and gently insert the tip of the upper beak inside the lower beak in order to safely grind down the surface of the lower beak. An experienced avian vet will know when the lower beak has been ground down to the appropriate level, because white dots become visible along the surface. These are the channels for the blood vessels and nerves to the gnathotheca. The biting surface must be flat and level or the rhinotheca may become distorted over time. The gnathotheca of cockatoos and cockatiels is normally pointed at either end, with a scooped out middle, so their lower beaks should not be ground straight across, as is usually done with other parrot species.
Beak trimming is a controversial subject. Some beak trims are cosmetic, and others are medically necessary for the bird to be able to eat and use the beak normally. An overgrown beak can be a sign of a medical problem, or it can just reflect normal growth that has not been worn down by appropriate behaviors. The decision of whether or not to trim a beak should be a decision made jointly by the avian veterinarian and the bird owner.

Texas Tech is making its first NCAA Super Regional appearance in school history after defeating top-seeded host Miami 4-0 in the Coral Gables Regional final. The regional championship was the Red Raiders first in school history.
Head coach Tim Tadlock is leading a remarkable turnaround in his second season with the Red Raiders. Texas Tech is 43-9 this season after going 26-30 last year. College of Charleston and Texas Tech are meeting for the first time ever.
Sophomore first baseman Eric Gutierrez is leading Texas Tech at the plate with 12 home runs and 58 RBIs while hitting .312. Sophomore outfielder Tyler Neslony is hitting .393 with a .614 slugging percentage, and senior Adam Kirsch has 10 home runs. The Red Raiders offense averages 6.2 runs per game, hitting .289 as a team.
Freshman left-hander Dylan Dusek and senior lefty Jonny Drozd are both 7-0 this season with nearly identical ERAs (2.08/2.09). Dusek has done his damage as a starter, while Drozd comes out of the bullpen. The Red Raiders average a strikeout every 1.4 innings pitched with a defense that boasts a .981 fielding percentage.
NCAA Tournament history
College of Charleston is making its sixth trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars are 12-10 and have now made the Super Regionals on two occasions. C of Cs first trip came to the Supers came in 2006 when Charleston played at Georgia Tech; 2006 was the only other season when C of C was an automatic bid. College of Charleston has been an at-large in the other four NCAA runs.
2014 marks the first time that College of Charleston has been a four seed in the Cougars six NCAA appearances.
Charlestons last NCAA trip came in 2012 when the Cougars also landed in the Gainesville Regional as a three seed. C of C lost to Georgia Tech (8-4), defeated Bethune-Cookman (8-2) and then were eliminated by the Yellow Jackets (3-0) on Sunday. Florida won the regional.
C of C vs. ranked teams
College of Charleston has faced off against ranked teams in 38 games under Lee, for a record of 13-25. C of C opened 2014 with two wins in a series over North Carolina. C of C recently posted a 3-2 win over No. 8 Florida, the second overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The Cougars have defeated Coastal Carolina, while the Chanticleers were ranked on five occasions, and also defeated South Carolina and Alabama.
Score early, win late
College of Charleston has found immense success when scoring first this season. The Cougars are 30-2 when scoring first, compared to just 14-15 when opponents score first. Charleston is 36-2 when leading after six innings, but just 4-13 when trailing after six.
College of Charleston scored in the first inning in every single regional game and only trailed for two innings the entire weekend.

But veteran driver Mark Martin, who was the pole-sitter for Sunday's FedEx 400 at Dover International Speedway won by Jimmie Johnson, will take his race tracks aged, bumpy, cratered and cracked.
That's why the 53-year-old native of Batesville, Ark., isn't joyous at the prospect of coming to Pocono Raceway for this weekend's Pocono 400.
When the NASCAR Sprint Cup aggregation rolls into Pocono for the 40th year, they'll find that the well-worn, much-maligned 2.5-mile triangle they left last August has new clothes.
This spring the track was repaved for the first time since 1995. The new, smooth black course makes its debut over the weekend, with the featured event Sunday's 400, the first NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono not scheduled for 500 miles.
The driver consensus in the Dover garage over the weekend was the Pocono paving job was way overdue. Great racing was in store.
Martin, who'll be making his 50th Pocono start, is no fan of paving tracks.
"I really wish they hadn't paved it," Martin said. "New pavement, typically, is not as conducive for racing as old pavement. If we can get away without paving these old places, the racing is typically better."Martin, who has scored six runner-up finishes at Pocono without ever reaching victory lane, expects speeds to be up on Sunday.
"It (new paving) is incredibly fast -- faster than we need to go in these cars," Martin said. "Typically that makes it hard to pass."Martin has crossed fingers that passing lanes will emerge.
"New paving typically lends itself to one-lane racing, worse than on an old worn race track where you can search around on the race track," he said.Martin made it clear he was not bad-mouthing Pocono.
"I personally always liked racing there and I am sure I still will," he said. "We'll deal with whatever it is. We'll be fine, I'm sure."Because of the new paving, NASCAR turned the upcoming days into something like Pocono Speedweek.
Two days of testing at the track were attached to the traditional three days of NASCAR and ARCA activities.
Testing is scheduled Wednesday and Thursday, followed by NASCAR and ARCA activities on Friday. NASCAR qualifying for the Pocono 400 and an ARCA 200 race will be Saturday.
Sunday's 400, the 14th race on the Sprint Cup card, starts at 1 p.m.
