(April 4, 2013) Composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born Jan. 27, 1756 in Salzburg, Austria, but over 250 years later, his music lives on all over the world, including Nantucket.
This weekend, all things Mozart will be celebrated during the Nantucket Community Music Center's Mozart Festival, the organization's second annual Spring Classic Concert Festival that will feature a group of island and visiting performers for two days of vocal and instrumental performances.

Look at the current New York Yankees 25-man roster. I guarantee half of them will not return to the team in 2014.
After the 2013 season, the Yankees are on the hook for approximately $88.6 million dollars, which only includes six players, and doesn't include players available for arbitration.
Hal Steinbrenner and the Yankees are aiming to keep their payroll under $189 million to avoid paying luxury taxes. With Robinson Cano and Phil Hughes' contract expiring, there isn't enough money to pay and keep everyone.
Here are the five players who will not return in 2014.

Skip to comments.Navy: The Cruisers Must Go, That Others May Stay (BS: Without Aegis, Carriers Sunk By Silkworms)
Posted on 04/02/2012 4:12:57 PM PDT by MindBender26
The Navys proposal to decommission seven Aegis cruisers was an extremely difficult choice for us to make, but it must be done to protect what the Navy calls the wholeness of the rest of its fleet, top commanders told Congress Thursday.
Navy logistics and readiness boss Vice Adm. Bill Burke told a House Armed Services Committee panel that the surface force is banking on the money and sailors it would save from the ships going away along with its now-fully funded request for ship maintenance to help continue to dig the fleet out of its longstanding readiness problems.
The cruiser retirements were an extremely difficult choice for us to make, but our goal was to balance readiness, procurment and the personnel priorities within our budget controls to still meet global force management and avoid a hollow force, Burke said.
The Navy can free up about $4 billion by not keeping the ships, he said, even though they have 10 or even 15 years of life left and the Navys recent top goal has been squeezing the most good from everything in todays fleet. The ships need comprehensive upgrades and theyre suffering from the infamous cracks in their aluminum superstructures, so Burke said the brass had to swallow hard and let them go.
Hes not kidding: Although Secretary Panetta and other DoD-level officials have pooh-poohed the older, less-capable cruisers, these ships have long commanded a special status in the surface force. When certain kinds of Navy officers at desks in the Pentagon close their eyes for a moment of pause, they picture themselves on the bridge of a cruiser as the ship turns at high speed on a sunny afternoon off Southern California.
Virginia Republican Rep. Randy Forbes, who chaired Thursdays hearing, wants that daydream to remain a reality for six of the seven ships slated to go away. (Well get to the seventh in a moment.) He said his committee staff has calculated that it would cost about $592 million in FY 13 and $859 million in FY 14 to upgrade the six ships and keep them around for the rest of their service lives. Compare that against more than $2 billion for a single new destroyer and it seems like a no-brainer, he argued.
Maybe, Burke said, but he said Forbes estimates didnt cover the cost of operating the ships, or fielding helicopters with them, and said the bottom line was this: With seven fewer cruisers and fully funded maintenance budgets, the surface Navy could finally slay the readiness and maintenance demons that have been plaguing it for the past decade. He and Naval Sea Systems Command boss Vice Adm. Kevin McCoy said the fleet is turning the corner on its readiness problem, and deviating from the latest plans could throw a monkey wrench into that effort.
It was a terribly difficult choice, Burke said. We didnt want to make it. But in order to maintain readiness of all the forces we chose to decrement our Navy by a couple [of cruisers] If we didnt do this, if we kept too many, wed be under-maintaining all of them and wed end up down the road having a bigger problem than we have today.
As for the seventh ship, Thursdays hearing made clear that the poor cruiser USS Port Royal is a goner no matter what. Forbes estimates deliberately excluded the cost to upgrade it, and none of the Navy witnesses seemed to even consider keeping it around past its scheduled mothball date next year. The Port Royal ran hard aground off Honolulu in 2009 and its repairs cost the Navy tens of millions of dollars, but by all accounts, the ship has never been the same. As it sat stuck on the coral reef, the tide rocked and shook the cruiser and all of its onboard equipment, damaging it more than might have initially been apparent. The Port Royal eventually returned to service, but the Navys mothball decision and Thursdays hearing apparently confirmed the brass wants to just cut its losses.
The sad twist for the surface Navy taking Burke and McCoy at their word that its turning the corner is that even a smaller, better-maintained fleet still falls far short of the oft-discussed demand signal from the combatant commanders. Under questioning from Forbes, Burke said that it would take a fleet of 500 ships to meet the demand from the various military areas of operation around the world. If everything goes the Navys way, it hopes to build a fleet of 300 ships by 2019.
So its the old standoff: Will Congress ultimately force service officials to keep ships they dont want, having absorbed in this case the Navys years of arguments that quantity is a capability all its own? As we saw this week, lawmakers have asked the Pentagon not to implement any of its planned changes until the Hill gives its go-ahead, so there may be still more talk of keeping these once-prized warships the Navy says must go
Results: More money for welfare, sunk carriers, dead sailors!
One day's deficit costs us 7 Aegis CG's? WTH?
We could be at war within months. We will wish we had them.
The Aegis is the kind of thing, when you need it, you can't wait months for them to re-commission it. You need it now.
The Aegis program is very, very expensive. By decommissioning those vessels, scarce funding resources are made available for vital vote-buying activities that are urgently needed to protect the jobs of incumbent politicians.

The target?
An island in the Artic the exact same shape and size of a Nimitz Carrier.
Islands nearby, <5km away, are set up with chaff, ECM, etc. to simulate a carrier battle group and it's defenses.
Getting rid of the TICO CGs are a DUMB idea....if we do retire them, give 3 to Israel, 2 to South Korea, and 2 to Japan.
This is mind numbing. So much for a balanced task force that is able to deal with all incoming vampires. So little hope and so much change.

America drowned in insurmountable debt purposefully imposed in part through Stimulus "investments" in gimmicks designed in significant degree to reward Democrats election campaign supporters (can you say UAW, Solyndra, etc.?), dependent on loans from foreign sources to fund even its military forces, is a nation rendered laughably ineffective, of little to no influence or credibility in the global geo-political arena, and thus exactly what the Kenyan malcontent Barak Obama intended to make it as one key element of his intended fundamental transformation.
Our President's intentions for America accord much more harmoniously with those of Vlad Putin than with the philosophy and wishes of George Washington.
Israel has no interest in something that big, and the Aegis destroyers that Japan and South Korea now have are much newer and more capabable than these CGs.
Why is it unbelievable when we have someone in the WH who hates America?
Wait till we have a Muslim CO and crew on one of our nuclear subs.
Click on pic for past Navair pings. Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist. The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation. This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
I think all they need is a Mohammedan CO, XO and missile officer.
So get rid of a ship that can shoot missiles in space.
If I am not mistaken this system was a key part of our forces. Its one thing to replace them with something better and if possible smaller, but where is that replacement? The Chinese are building their own version of the ship though smaller, and capabilities are unknown with maybe the acception that they have succeeded in stealing a lot of its tech so they can put it to use.
Precedent Erkel Mugabe is a gundecking shitbird fer sure !
This is just another thing to add to the list of stupid things that are happening with this administration
Pls add me. ty.
The US needs at least 6 carrier battle groups for Command of the Sea. 12 would be better. Ageis cruisers provide missle defense.
Yes, exactly. More money for welfare, "You must love sodomy because sodomy is perfectly normal" training and reconfiguring ships & boats to accomodate females...
The nation will pay the price in blood for poor leadership. Generally, it tis the blood of our children.
What's left in terms of naval gunfire? Anything that compares to the Wisconsin or New Jersey?
Replace stupid with treasonous and you're dead right.
Probably a draft plan in the works or almost ready to go after the next election if (heaven forbid) the wun wins or most likely tries to steal it somehow.
He's no gundecker. Too many good sailors kept their Division Officers bright and shiny with a bit of creative gundecking.
That....individual is the [BLEEP]ing All-time King Sandcrab.
....and that's coming from a brownshoe with less sea duty time than some have got falling overboard.
If anyone is furious over this news, just wait until Obama is re-elected because your fellow Freepers refuse to vote for Romney. Imagine what the commie Muslim traitor will do his 2nd term? But no worry, as long as your fellow Freepers have the satisfaction of not having to pull the lever for Idiot Romney, all is well right?
I can't stand people who cut off their nose to spite their face.
Like many FReepers, Romney is far from my ideal candidate, but when it comes down to obama or Romney, there is no questions we must all vote to get rid of Obama.
On the other hand, the Burkes are the ones that are being reworked to serve as floating missile defense platforms (BMD, not just fleet defense) and they have gotten some pretty amazing new sensors and software as part of that upgrade.
For me though, I would prefer having both. And more of each at that.

And for some reason I like the Burkes so much it posted twice!
Is this what Obama was hinting to Medvedev about when he was caught on a 'hot mic'?
Hold on bow, aren't the Aegis Cruisers the only missile defense system we can now deploy? What functionality will the Navy be losing?
We'd still be paying for 5 of them, with the inflated pass-thru costs.
Well no, not really.
The Burke-class "Destroyers" are 90+% of the size of these Cruisers, newer, more capable and easier to maintain.
And that's the problem...we have an entire FLEET of what are essentially Cruisers. At 8,500 - 10,000 tons many of these ships are bigger than the Cruisers being retired and certainly as big as any Cruiser-class ship we've ever put to sea.
We have 60 in the water today and another 15 on the way.
What we NEED is 50-100 of what would have been called a Destroyer in any other era...but would now be called a Frigate. 4,000 tons with a crew of 120, VLS and all the new Aegis voodoo.
The National Security Frigate now being proposed by Ingalls would be an EXCELLENT choice, but alas the brass is wedded to the LCS concept.
...and the CGX, the replacement for the crusiers has not even left the draing board yet.
This president is doing more to wreck our Navy than the combined might of all the agressor nations of the world have been able to do in the last 50 years.
While the Chinese continue to build a large, modern fleet at breakneck speed...in the last 10 years they have grown with ne modern combatants something like 142% while we have decreased by around 20%...and that's before the earlier cuts and these.
AEGIS Vessels of the World
The Rising Sea Dragon in Asia
And what can or will we do about this?
You noticed that, huh?
And it's the manpower demands that are the US Navy's problem.
Back in the 17th Century when Samuel Pepys reorganised the Royal Navy he introduced the idea of rating ships into classes by crew size - even when that was changed to number of guns it amounted to much the same thing.
Now today Tico cruisers, Burke "destroyers" (and Burke derived ships of the Korean, Japanese navies) run 300-400 crew. Which isn't a pronlem for ROKN and JMSDF as they use these ships as cruisers.
There are actually destroyers these days - the large AAW "frigates" Spanish F-100, Dutch LFC, German F-124, Framco/Italian Horizon, and similarly sized British, Korean, Japanese ships actually called destroyers running crews of 200-250
Then these navies have actual frigates similar size but 150-200 crew, similar to the Perry's
Below them: "light frigates", 100-150 crew; corvettes with less combat capability and 50-100 crew
Below these surface combatants is the LCS 35-50 crew.
The future US Fleet: Cruisers and the LCS, Is everyone at BuShips completely stoned?
Thanks Army Air Corps
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
How did President Reagan win the cold war against Russia?
To a certain extent, by out-spending them into oblivion. Their meager economy couldn't keep up with let alone meet the challenge of the mighty US economy, when it came to spending on the US military and growing our military might.
Yes, we spent a ton of money - but it was cheaper than going to war with the Soviet Union. And the Soviet Union faded into the dustbins of history. (Let's not discuss Russian resurgence for the moment...)
Obama is doing the inverse. He is spending the US into oblivion, and consequently hollowing out the mighty US military.
He is singly-handedly ending our unintentional US hegemony.
He is losing for us and our posterity, the uniqueness and gift to the world, from the founders, of the US and it's ideals.
"What a maroon! What an ingoranimus!"
... to quote the great philopher and thinker, Bugs Bunny!
A philopher is a non-human philosopher.
I thought EVERYONE knew that!
Need: Ronald Reagan's and Sec. Lehman's 600-ship Navy.
Reality: Obama's 300-ship cripple job as he sets us up to lose a major war.
I think BuShips/NavShips and CNO are trying to get to some combination of ship types that will get the job done, even while assorted budget-cutters hand them their heads year after year.
The Bushy RiNO crowd, led by Poppy and Dick Cheney, want to cut and slash every year, so silver-haired ladies who are the core of the GOP can have more and more tax cuts.
The DemonRats want to cut the budget because they lust for a wet-dream total-war victory for international Communism over the hated USA, and they don't care if Russia or China does the honors, as long as we lose.
Easy to track too. 5 times a day they steady up on 090 true.
What should we expect when we elect a Communist traitor mole to be POTUS?

Actually I have heard that the wii will operate just like the ds with friend codes and everyting.
Will the Wii revive the GC online adaptor?
Or will Nintendo continue its message about online gaming?
Actually I have heard that the wii will operate just like the ds with friend codes and everyting.
You mean they will use Wi-Fi technology for online gaming? Hehe, or Wii-Fi even. Would be great to use it for SSB.
I also think there is a usb adaptor if you do not have a wireless internet connection.
I beleive it will use the same wi-fi usb connector as the DS? It will use it for downloading retro games also. Im also hoping that most games will have an online functionality. Not just the odd few as with DS but every game with a multiplayer should go online in my opinion.
Also, in case you didnt know this, the wii can stay online all the time. This is called wiiconnect24. This way, friends (almost certainly using friend codes) will be able to send you gifts (animal crossing) , messages, etc while you sleep/ are busy.
Problem is, i cant stay online ALL the time as i have AOL silver, and, due to them being a pain i have to use a differnat connection for playing on my DS. Oh well. presumably anything sent to me will arrive the next time i connect.
Hope that was what you were looking for. And of course, none of this is guaranteed; nintendo, being nintendo could have anything up their sleeves...
Will all know in setmper anyway so I woudn't worry about it
-No Videos in SigAs it now we will know each other till nothing remains
might as well jus wait and see should be more worried bout launch date
I hear it's going to use the same Wi-Fi technology as the DS, and it will be fully compatible with the USB adapter. But like Haku said, only time will tell.
Got mah Wii: 2/24/08
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.
-Michael Jordan
Wii will use wlan. And if you dont have Wireles-lan in your home you can use usb adabter.
hey dont call me a noob or stupid but umm GAME CUBE REALLY HAD ONLINE
tht is so freakin cool

Microsoft HoloLens will take NASA scientists to Mars — virtually
Microsoft's HoloLens is a pretty neat concept, and already showing a lot of promise. Via a headset and virtual environment, we'd be able to do all kinds of things like assemble or design something to be 3D printed, and it certainly has a lot of gaming angles. As far as virtual environments go, there might be no cooler one than mars, and that's what NASA and Microsoft have in mind. Using HoloLens, NASA wants to let Earth-bound scientists work in space — virtually.

Websites crash under Jacko strain
Ciara O'Brien
So there you have it. Michael Jackson is dead. By all accounts it was a heart attack – a pretty ordinary end to a very strange life.
And it was a website that broke the story first – TMZ.com. Not broadcast media or print. Within minutes, the topic was all over Twitter. Each update was tweeted as it happened. Looking at Twitter as I'm writing this, I have an entire page of Jacko-related tweets.
It wasn't all good for new media though. Websites creaked under the strain of the number of people logging on to get the latest updates. Michael Jackson managed to crash Twitter. TechCrunch has the screenshots here detailing the major meltdowns but I experienced the Twitter fail for myself. Frustrating, but common enough when a major story breaks.
Anyway. The end of an era, and the death of an icon, whatever you thought of him.

I love this ring idea. It's so easy. I appreciate how the instructor was taking her time explaining each step. Sometimes you have to watch these video's over and over to get it. It made sense the first time. I can't wait to make several of these rings. Thank you!

Kenyan Leaders Since Independence
A list of the leaders of Kenya since gaining independence on 12 December 1963
Kenya has had only three presidents since gaining independence. Both Jomo Kenyatta and his successor Daniel arap Moi represented the Kenya African National Union, KANU, whilst the most recent incumbent, Mwai Kibaki, won a majority with the National Rainbow Coalition, NaRC.
Kenya achieved independence within the Commonwealth on 12 December 1963.
Governor-general (representing Queen Elizabeth II, head of state)
|12 Dec 1963 -- 11 Dec 1964
|Malcolm John MacDonald
Prime Minister
|1 Jun 1963 -- 11 Dec 1964
|Jomo Kenyatta
Kenya declared a republic on 12 December 1964
Presidents of the Republic of Kenya
|12 Dec 1964 -- 21 Aug 1978
|Jomo Kenyatta
|22 Aug 1978 -- 29 Dec 2002
|Daniel arap Moi
|30 Dec 2002 -- present
|Mwai Kibaki
Jomo Kenyatta died in office in 1978 and he was succeeded by Vice-President Daniel arap Moi. (His expected replacement, Tom Mboya, had been assassinated in 1969.) From 1982, until the general multi-party election in 1992, Kanya was ruled by Moi as a one party state. In 2001 Moi brought Uhuru Kenyatta, Jomo Kenyatta's son, into parliment as a potential successor, but in the 2002 election Mwai Kibaki, the opposition presidential candidate, won a landslide victory and brought 40 years of KANU rule to an end.

When a motorcycle shakes its head. The front forks going from lock to lock.
He got into a big tank slapper and stepped off on the high side.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A rapid side-to-side oscillation of the front wheel of a motorcycle, where the handlebars literally 'slap' the gas tank due to insufficient road grip on the front tyre.

I got a new bike! Wanna ride tank slapper?
di Jimmetry 13 giugno 2011
When the fuel in a vehicle hits the inside of the tank hard enough to shake it, nearly always cause by making sudden, unplanned turns. Tank slapping is a symptom of bad driving.
Many cars use special baffles to help reduce this.
Can also include the rider's legs on a motorcycle.

Many of you will take a course called UNIV 1301: Learning Framework during your first year at UTPA. This course is designed to help you "learn about learning" so that you're better able to succeed in your other courses at the university and learn how to build great habits for studying, managing your time, and assessing your own strengths and weaknesses as a learner. UNIV classes are set up so that each section is dedicated to students from a particular College, so you'll be able to form friendships and study groups with students who share similar interests as yours. Everyone is welcome to take UNIV, but it isn't required for everyone; check out the latest information on enrollment criteria.
- What is the Learning Framework course? The Learning Framework course is designed to improve students' understanding of the learning process and their ability to succeed in college. The class focuses on how adult students learn, how they think and make judgments, what motivates them in pursuit of higher education, and how they can apply different methods of learning and motivation to their university courses as well as to their major and career. The class will also teach you about the latest research findings in the psychology of learning, cognition and motivation. Ultimately, the purpose of the course is to enhance student success.
- What will I be doing in the class? What is the class like? In this class, you will put your new knowledge about thinking, learning and motivation to practical use right away. There will be some textbook assignments, but a good deal of the class involves interacting with other students as well as with your instructor. You'll apply new learning strategies in a variety of ways. You'll be using reading, writing, speaking, listening, and innovative learning strategies throughout the course.
- Will the class be helpful? Yes! Students who have completed the Learning Framework course frequently have more success with their courses and are more satisfied overall with their university experience. You'll also gain an understanding of general education requirements and the core curriculum. Instead of viewing your classes in isolation, you'll learn about the interrelatedness of courses and disciplines. And because you'll learn to apply new learning strategies in this course, you may notice better grades and/or satisfaction with your courses and other university experiences right away.
Faculty who teach UNIV 1301 work almost exclusively with first-year students, so they have a lot of experience helping students like you make the transition to university life. They are very approachable and committed 100% to your success. Take a look at who your UNIV instructor might be!

Dipole Antenna
Application ID: 8715
The dipole antenna is one of the most straightforward antenna configurations. It can be realized with two thin metallic rods that have a sinusoidal voltage difference applied between them. The length of the rods is chosen such that they are quarter wavelength elements at the operating frequency. Such an antenna has a well known torus-like radiation pattern.
This application was built using the following:RF Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on the physics interfaces that define it. Particular physics interfaces may be common to several products (see the Specification Chart for more details). To determine the right combination of products for your project, you should evaluate all of your needs in light of each product's capabilities, consultation with the COMSOL Sales and Support teams, and the use of an evaluation license.

The playoffs are quickly approaching and wins against quality opponents late in the season are at a premium. Mount Carmel and West Jefferson have essentially assured themselves a spot in the postseason and Friday's non-district matchup gave each a chance to improve their standing and measure themselves against the best.
Ranked at four and five in the Starting Five, both came out with a sense of urgency, but Mt. Carmel was just a little more up to the task taking down West Jefferson, 40-29, at home.
With the Bucs having the clear size advantage inside with UNO signee Halie Matthews and Breionne Cooper, the Cubs employed their full court press on the young Buccaneer guards allowing them to jump out to an early lead.
"Their big game is their post game," junior guard Taylor Berry said. "They're taller than us so we knew that we needed to press the ball up front in order to quicken the game up and make them rush."
Mt. Carmel (22-6) parlayed the pressure into a 12-6 lead at the end of the first quarter but West Jeff (20-5) got its offense going in the second as the Cubs backed off. After only one field goal in the opening period, Matthews put in five points in the second as West Jeff outscored Mt. Carmel in the quarter to pull within 19-17 at halftime.
"The first quarter we controlled the tempo with a little bit of pressure then we came out of it and it kind of slowed us down and gave them an opportunity to come back," Mount Carmel Coach Panos Bountovinas said. "So we came back in the third quarter with a little bit of high pressure."
The third period proved to be the Bucs' undoing as Mt. Carmel turned up the pressure again forcing the Bucs into more mistakes. The Cubs scored the first six point of the quarter and held West Jeff to just four points extending their lead to 28-21 going into the fourth.
The Cubs looked to be putting the game away after Paige Frankiewicz nailed a 3-pointer to put Mt. Carmel up 33-21 but Cooper would score seven of her team's next eight points as part of an 8-2 run pulling the Bucs within 35-29 forcing Bountovinas to call a timeout with 2:51 remaining.
The message during the break was clear – run the clock – and the Cubs have ball handlers to get it done.
Jennifer Clark and Kristen Nuss took turns dribbling through and around the Buccaneer defense taking nearly a minute off the clock before Berry knocked down a short jumper to push the lead back up to eight.
"They're both very good ball handlers and when they're able to do that up front it opens up a lot down low to get a wide open layup," Berry said. "Everyone starts chasing them trying to trap and it gets them out of their defense."
West Jeff couldn't get a good look on its next possession and the Cubs milked the clock again on the other end before Clark found a wide open Natalie Legendre under the rim for a layup to put the game away.
"It was a tough game but we stuck through it to the end and we played together," Clark said. "We worked the ball better than we usually do and we hit important shots that we needed and we were able to win."
Clark finished with seven points and a few steals while Legendre led the team in points with nine. Nuss finished with six points, six assists and was active on the defensive end as always.
For West Jeff, Cooper was the game's high scorer with 15, eight rebounds and three blocks. Matthews, who works almost exclusively from the high post in the Bucs' offense, was swarmed the entire game finishing with seven points and 11 rebounds.
"Going from the high to the low you've got to be a bulldozer," Matthews said. "I've got to start getting my guards to pop out and spread the floor because the middle is just too congested. It's kind of hard fighting through the middle but at the end of the day it's all about heart."
West Jeff is 17th in the power rankings and a move to the 16th slot would give them a playoff game at home. They also finish the season with two district games against Helen Cox Monday on the road and Higgins Thursday at home.
Mt. Carmel currently sits at No. 9 in the rankings and a bump up to the eight spot would net them two home games to start the playoffs. They also close out the season with two district matchups traveling to Chapelle on Monday before hosting Dominican on Thursday.

Six weeks away from the first practice in the last season in the Football Championship Subdivision, the University of Massachusetts received some good news from the NCAA.
Football Bowl Subdivision transfers Kellen Pagel, Ryan Campbell and Chris Burns have been ruled eligible for the 2011 season by the NCAA.
Pagel, a 6-foot-3 sophomore quarterback who transferred from Bowling Green, is the favorite to win the starting job after an impressive Spring Game.
Campbell is a redshirt sophomore defensive back who transferred from Mississippi and Burns is a junior running back from the University of Pittsburgh.
All three transferred to UMass before the Minutemen elected to elevate to FBS in April. The NCAA rule for transferring is a player must sit out a year if transferring from FBS to FBS, but there is no penalty for transferring from FBS to FCS.
At the time of the transfer UMass had not decided to move up and accept the invitation to the Mid-American Conference.
Pagel's importance cannot be overstated. With the end of eligibility for last year's starter Kyle Haven, UMass will enter training camp with no quarterback who has thrown a pass in a game for the Minutemen.
Pagel completed two of three attempts for 20 yards in a game against Michigan last season for Bowling Green. Ian Shultis played in two games last year for the Minutemen but did not attempt a pass.
Sophomore Brandon Hill and redshirt freshman Ray Pendagast have not played.
All four played in the Spring Game and did a good job, but Pagel was the best of the lot, throwing for 93 yards on 5-for-9 passing. He threw a touchdown pass, ran for a touchdown and caught a touchdown pass from wide receiver Julian Talley.
The Minutemen open camp on August 4. The season opener is September 1 at Holy Cross in Worcester. According to this site, the game will be played at 8 p.m., the first night game at Fitton Field.
The Together We're One tour hits Boston again on Thursday, this time at the UMass Club. An informative tour to spread the word on the UMass move to FBS throughout the northeast, the events are free and open to the public.
