The Cavalier 1
looks like it was inspired by the Wave Master. It look so because of the "wave" shape we see on the front panel, but aside from that, we are really looking at a very different case. For starters, only the front panel is made of aluminum while the rest of the case is made of steel.
The Cavalier 1's side panels are easy to slide off and the case comes equipped with two thumbscrews for screwless entry.
As we turn the case around, we can see the case uses the same 120mm exhaust fan we saw with the Centurion 5. Also included is the same 350W power supply and PCI card grippers we saw with the Centurion 5.
When the Cavalier 1's front panel door is swung open you can see the case comes equipped with five 5.25" and one 3.5" drive exposed drive bays. Like the Wave Master, the Cavalier 1 has magnets on its front panel door to keep it from swinging around, a nice and useful addition to the case.
On the lower right side of the case's front panel are two USB 2.0 ports and one IEEE 1394 Firewire port.
In the middle of the Cavalier 1's lower front panel is a great looking audio meter. You plug the audio meter into your audio hardware, and the meter will swing according to your level of audio output. Backlit with a very nice blue light, the meter is a great addition to the Cavalier 1 case.
The other side of the Cavalier 1's front panel shows the audio input and output connections as well as a volume slider.

Danish hitman scoops double award in Copenhagen
Cardiff City's Andreas Cornelius cleaned house at Monday evening's Danish Football Awards, held in the Capital City of Copenhagen.
The Denmark international scooped the 'Superliga Player of the Season 2012/13' and 'Talent of the Year' gongs, following a breakthrough season for FC Copenhagen last term. Tottenham's former Ajax forward Christian Eriksen was voted as Danish Player of the Year.
Speaking at the event, Andreas said: "I'm sincerely happy to receive these two prestigious here in Denmark for a season that made me a part of the Danish Championship team with FC Copenhagen, allowed me to make my debut in the Danish National Team and helped to earn me a Premier League contract with Cardiff City.
"Injury has kept me out of action for the start of the season at Cardiff, though the awards this evening make me even more determined to make a strong comeback on the field in the near future. I'm looking forward to making a big contribution for Cardiff City."
Bluebirds Boss Malky Mackay referenced Andreas' proposed comeback from injury in last Friday's media conference in Cardiff, citing positive news for Bluebirds fans regarding one of the Club's key summer signings.
"Andreas is now back in full training and trained with us this past week which is great," said the Manager. He'll probably get some minutes in a friendly for us in the middle of next week, which will be the start of him getting back into football again.
"It's been a nasty injury that Andreas has had to deal with, we've needed to be very careful with it, but now there's more than light at the end of the tunnel.
"We'll see how he gets through that friendly game, but the intention is he'll gradually become involved again now which is obviously something he's desperate to do."
We offer our sincere congratulations to Andreas and look forward to seeing him back in a Bluebirds shirt in the very near future. Our thanks also to Lars Berendt, Media Director of the Danish FA, for providing reaction and photography from the ceremony.

Aug 19, 2014 - By Mead Gruver, The Associated PressCHEYENNE -- Tuesday's primary will decide how Wyoming voters rate Gov. Matt Mead's first term in office and whether his two challengers have gained traction within the state Republican Party. Here are five things to know about the vote:
VOTER REGISTRATION: Though a primary is not a party-to-party faceoff, Republicans in Wyoming command the widest voter-registration advantage over Democrats they've had in several years. The gap has steadily widened for six years running. As of Aug. 1, Wyoming had 167,572 registered Republicans and 52,881 registered Democrats. In 2008, the figures were 136,844 to 57,327, according to the secretary of state's office.
MEAD REFERENDUM: In May, core members of the Wyoming Republican Party voted narrowly not to censure Gov. Matt Mead for signing legislation last year that stripped State Superintendent of Public Instruction Cindy Hill, a fellow Republican, of most of her powers. The Wyoming Supreme Court ruled the law was unconstitutional. Now Hill, a former junior high assistant principal who calls herself "Wyoming Tough," seeks to deny Mead a second term. Mead touts a record of attracting business and a declining unemployment rate that is consistently below the national average.
DOCTOR'S FIGHT: Physician and former University of Wyoming trustee Taylor Haynes staked out the farthest position of any gubernatorial candidate by calling for Wyoming to take over federal lands. He called for the arrest of federal officials who don't accede to state authority. Haynes also said he would allow oil and gas drilling in Yellowstone National Park, but backed away from that remark a few days later.
BILLBOARDS ALL OVER: A casual survey of Wyoming's lonesome pastures, interminable fence lines and mostly quiet neighborhoods puts Haynes far ahead of Mead and Hill in terms of numbers of campaign signs. Numbers don't equate support, however -- but lots of hammer-swinging by volunteers. Some of Haynes' campaign billboards outside Casper and Cheyenne are bigger and more elaborate than the smaller, simpler message signs touting Mead and Hill.
CONGRESSIONAL HO-HUM: This year's Republican primary was set to be national news. What happened? In January, Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, abandoned her bid to oust GOP Sen. Mike Enzi.
Cheney cited family health reasons, but she also was having difficulty getting support from prominent Republicans, including most of the state's elected officials.

Law School Admission Council Aims to Quash Overreliance on LSAT
By Jess Bravin
NEWTOWN, Pa. -- The Law School Admission Council, which administers the Law School Admission Test, finds itself
a problem
its three-hour exam:
how to wean its members from what it calls their "historic overreliance on the LSAT."
The test, first administered in 1948, has become the single most important factor in deciding who gets admitted to a law school. But it is in danger of becoming a casualty of the legal and political battles over affirmative action. The latest blow came on Tuesday, when a federal judge in Detroit struck down the University of Michigan Law School's admissions system, in part because whites generally had to score higher on the LSAT than minorities to be admitted.
Michigan Law, wanting blacks and Hispanics to constitute at least 10% of its enrollment, adopted the policy partly to compensate for the fact that whites, on average, score 10 points higher than blacks on the LSAT. Similar policies at law schools in California, Texas and Washington state have been ended in recent years, either by voter initiative or court action, spurring officials to seek new ways to get more minorities into the profession.
While setting different standards for whites and minorities is unconstitutional, U.S. District Judge Bernard A. Friedman proposed in his ruling this week that schools "relax, or even eliminate, reliance on the LSAT." Evidence suggests that the test "does not predict success in the legal profession at all," the judge wrote, so "one must wonder why the law school concerns itself at all with an applicant's LSAT score."
Elliott Milstein, an American University law professor and past president of
the Association of American of Law Schools, concurs. "If important societal goals" such as enrolling minorities "are being thwarted" because of heavy reliance on the LSAT, he says, "we ought to be open to thinking about whether we need the test at all."
Sensing the direction of the prevailing legal winds, and seeking to protect its place at the center of legal admissions, the LSAC has been trying to persuade admissions officers to rely less on the test and help determine other ways to measure aspiring lawyers. In December, the council committed $10 million toward those ends and invited researchers to apply for grants. The funds come from fees charged to students, who typically pay at least $200 for the LSAT and related services.
Given in five 35-minute sections, the LSAT purports to measure reading comprehension with passages that the student must dissect, as well as "analytical reasoning" and "logical reasoning" through a thicket of puzzles and word problems. It does not test knowledge of such things as the U.S. Constitution or legal principles, history or ethics. Scores are reported on a scale from 120 to 180.
The admission council acknowledges that the test serves only to predict which applicants are likely to have higher grades than others in the first year of law school. Nevertheless, the test has become central to a law school's standings. The influential annual ratings published by U.S. News & World Report use the scores of incoming students for 12.5% of each school's rank.
Unlike other factors, such as reputation among lawyers and judges, the profile of students is within a school's control. So if a school wants to boost its rank, "the quick fix is, 'Let's get next year's LSAT median up,"' says the admission council's president, Philip D. Shelton, himself a former dean at the Mercer and Washington University law schools.
The council long has said its exam is but one of many factors that schools should weigh when reviewing applicants. But the fact is, Mr. Shelton says, that law schools have largely followed that advice only for minority groups. For others, Mr. Shelton says, essays, recommendation letters and lists of undergraduate activities could rarely redeem a moderate LSAT score.
No one knows the precise reason for the gap between scores of blacks and Hispanics and those of whites and Asians. Theories range from poor schools in minority neighborhoods to inherent bias on the exams themselves. But it's clear that race-blind admission decisions based primarily on LSAT scores and, to a lesser extent, college grades have had a devastating effect on black and Hispanic enrollment.
At the University of California's three law schools, for example, blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans made up 9.4% of the 2,600 students admitted in 2000; in 1996, the last year of affirmative action, they were 18.4% of the admits. In the same period, Asians have remained constant at about 18% of admits, while white admissions have grown to 72.8% from 63.9%.
Last year, Rennard Strickland, dean of the University of Oregon law school and chairman of the LSAC board, wrote in an essay that, thanks partly to affirmative action, administrators became "inattentive, if not lazy" about the shortcomings of an LSAT-driven admissions process. To encourage admissions officers to rely less on the test, the LSAC last year devised a handbook laying out eight "new models" of how to weight various factors.
The council's favored method -- which it acknowledges is "the most labor- intensive" -- requires schools to assign candidates ratings in nine categories, including "leadership," "obstacles overcome," "accomplishments" and work experience. The LSAT and undergraduate grades could each account for only 10 of 49 points. The handbook, however, ended up being "pretty meaningless," Mr. Shelton says, since schools were unwilling to abandon their current systems without confidence in a new one.
In January, the council began a modest experiment with several hundred students who registered online for the LSAT. In exchange for a $25 rebate on test fees, the students completed a 14-question form that asked them to describe "factors that . . . may have caused your LSAT score(s) . . . to underestimate your ability to be a successful law student or attorney." They were also asked to discuss their qualities of "integrity, initiative, perseverance, compassion, generosity and civility," to indicate whether their parents were immigrants and to describe their "personal experience, if any, of racial diversity."
The questionnaire aims to elicit evidence that an applicant overcame racial discrimination -- which courts have found to be permissible -- rather than automatically giving minority applicants an edge.
Mr. Shelton says the council will team up this year with three or four law schools, as yet unnamed, and conduct a dual admission process -- one using the questionnaire, one not. Though actual decisions will be based on the current system, the council hopes to determine whether using the forms would have resulted in more minorities' being admitted. It hopes to quantify the questionnaire's answers in some manner but isn't sure at the moment how that will be carried out.
The LSAC has also funded the first phase of a $500,000 project at the University of California, Berkeley, that aims to develop a new test to complement the LSAT. Researchers want to find "criteria that will predict successful lawyering, as opposed to successful law studenting," says Marjorie Shultz, a law professor who, along with a psychology professor, designed the project.
Starting in July, the researchers will survey students, faculty and alumni of Berkeley's law school, Boalt Hall, on the skills and traits a lawyer needs. The hard part will be figuring out how to test for those traits. One possibility, Ms. Shultz says, could be multiday projects in which a group of applicants would be assigned a specific task. They would then be graded on how much they contributed to the group's success, which Ms. Shultz says more closely resembles the way lawyers work in firms. "Screening devices ought to be job- related and not simply extraneous," she says.
As the LSAT debate goes on, some critics are even saying a high score might indicate negative attributes. Prof. David B. Wilkins, who directs Harvard Law School's Program on the Legal Profession, cites research showing that "the higher your LSAT score, the lower your likelihood to do community service" as a lawyer.

Blogs Cliopatria Taylor, Wilentz, and RaceFeb 27, 2008 12:45 pm
Taylor, Wilentz, and Race
While Obama might have some hope for an open-minded approach to this issue, based on her campaign, there seems to be little question how a Hillary Clinton presidency would come down on such matters. Indeed, she and her supporters have embraced identity politics with a depressing regularity, from the candidate's "crying" moment to Susan Estrich's New Hampshire-eve screed to the disturbing assertion of a posthumous Ann Richards endorsement for Hillary. The campaign's most recent meme—Hillary as the victim of a misogynist press—fits into this pattern as well; few in the campaign, it seemed, claimed journalistic sexism when Obama trailed by 20 points and these same reporters were hailing Clinton as inevitable.
As Clinton's support in the African-American community has collapsed, influential black congressional leaders have distanced themselves from her—Charlie Rangel's wife endorsed Obama, John Lewis has repeatedly hinted that he's preparing to switch sides. Among African-American House members, Clinton has been left with figures who could be caricatures of the flaws inherent in identity politics—the ethically challenged Emmanuel Cleaver, or the simply embarrassing Stephanie Tubbs Jones.
According to Sean Wilentz, however, this sorry development for the Clinton campaign didn't result from her flaws as a candidate, or from younger voters' seeming desire to move beyond identity politics, but from Obama's having engaged in "cutthroat, fraudulent politics"—indeed, in "the most outrageous deployment of racial politics since the Willie Horton ad campaign in 1988 and the most insidious since Ronald Reagan kicked off his 1980 campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, praising states' rights."
Wilentz's exceptionally bitter piece, mentioned below by Ralph, brought to mind the observation of Dana Milbank in yesterday's Washington Post: the arch-Clintonites seem eager to present "a fascinating tour of an alternate universe."
Take one example: in dismissing the possibility of a Bradley effect in New Hampshire, for instance, Wilentz writes, "But even on primary night, it was clear that Obama's total--36.4%--was virtually identical to what the polls over the previous three weeks had predicted he would receive. Clinton won because late-deciding voters--and especially college-educated women in their twenties--broke for her by a huge majority."
They did? According to the New Hampshire exit poll, Clinton won the voters who decided on Election Day by a three-point margin (39 to 36 percent). Obama actually carried those who had decided in the three days before the election (37 to 36 percent). How does Wilentz consider this a "huge majority" for Clinton? He doesn't say. (His article doesn't cite any exit poll figures at all.)
Maybe Wilentz is right that there was no Bradley effect in New Hampshire, and that the Obama campaign convinced a media that ignored facts to peddle the storyline. Yet since Wilentz's own storyline ignored the exit poll figures, his claim is hardly credible.
Wilentz also goes out of his way to defend Bill Clinton's performance in the South Carolina primary. Wilentz's long article doesn't mention Clinton's pre-primary statement that "as far as I can tell, neither Senator Obama nor Hillary have lost votes because of their race or gender. They are getting votes, to be sure, because of their race or gender—that's why people tell me Hillary doesn't have a chance of winning here." (By that standard, of course, it would have been hard for Obama to have won anywhere, since women have been a majority in every Democratic primary thus far.) And the Princeton historian pooh-poohs the former President's post-primary linkage of Obama's performance with Jesse Jackson's two victories in the state.
In this respect, Wilentz appears to be more royalist than the king: even most in the Clinton campaign have conceded the harm caused by Bill Clinton's attacks on Obama.
Portraying Obama as a race-baiter, I fear, will be no more successful than any of the other "kitchen sink" attacks from Clinton supporters in recent days.

Opinion & Attitude Survey Toward Deer Management in Georgia
Participation in Deer Hunting in Georgia
Participation in any type of hunting in the past 2 years obviously varied widely among groups: 22% of the general population, 89% of hunters, and 44% of landowners had hunted in the past 2 years in Georgia. Most of those who had hunted had hunted deer. The next question asked specifically about deer hunting: 20% of the general population, 84% of hunters, and 38% of landowners had hunted deer. Additionally, substantial percentages of each group said that other members of their household had hunted deer in Georgia in the past 2 years: 36% of the general population, 59% of hunters, and 49% of landowners said another member of their household had hunted deer.
Hunting deer with dogs is not common: 18% of deer hunters have hunted with dogs in the past, and 6% have hunted deer with dogs in the past year.
Roughly two-thirds of hunters who had hunted deer in the past season in Georgia had harvested a deer.
Hunters were asked about the number of days they had hunted deer in the past season in Georgia: the responses followed a bell curve, with the most common answer falling from 20 to 29 days.
The most common motivation of deer hunters for hunting deer is for the sport or recreation, followed closely by those who hunt deer for the meat.
Work obligations and lack of access are the most common factors that have reduced the quality of deer hunting experiences.

My doctor suggests that i get an implant and a donut lift to achieve rounder breasts with higher nipples. This would cause my breasts to be bigger. Or, he suggests a full lift with implants that would leave the scar lines down the middle of my breasts.
I Would Like my Breasts to Have an Attractive Shape with Minimal Scarring, Which Procedure Should I Get? (photo)
Doctor Answers 8
Vertical lift is much more effective in providing a pleasing shape than the donut lift.
You need a breast lift. The donut lift is ineffective. The vertical lift, that leaves the "lollipop" scar would be best for you. You probably want to have simultaneous implants to give upper pole fullness. Have a look at some before and after photos so you can get an idea of the results and scars. I've attached a link to this part of my website. It is a good idea to insist on seeing plenty of before and after photos provided by your surgeon so you can decide if the results are to your satisfaction.
Web reference: http://www.swansoncenter.com/content/ideal-breast/procedures/breast-lift/patient-photographs.asp
Breast lift and scarring
Breast lift and scarring
If you just rely on your own tissue, you may need a vertical lift or anchor type incision. Perhaps with an implant you can get away with only a circumareola lift. I can't say for sure without an exam.
You might also like...
Minimal scarring, needs lift
The problem with doing an enlargement alone is that the breast is highly likely to have an unattractive appearance since it will hang off the implant. The minimum lift incision would be a circle around the areola. However, with a minimal incision, you will get a minimum lift, perhaps not enough improvement. You will need at a consultation to listen to the options and consider if the advantage of a vertical incision in terms of better result is worth the added incision and scar.
When you ready for an in person consultation, RealSelf has listings of surgeons in your area. You should consider cross referencing the listings from the The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (plasticsurgery dot org). A listing in the ASPS website assures you that your surgeon is not only board certified, but also is a member in good standing of the major plastic surgery organization in the U. S.
Thank your for your question, best wishes.
Attractive breasts with minimal scarring
you need a breast lift because your nipples and areola are below your inframammary crease. There is less scarring with the periareolar lift but less of a lift is also possible with this technique.
Scaring and shape after breast lift
The fundamental thing that occurs with a breast lift is raising the position of the nipple on the breast. To do that, at the very least, an incision around the areola is necessary. Those scars usually heal pretty well. Depending on how far the nipple has to move up on the breast, it may be necessary to add a scar from the lower edge of the nipple to the crease underneath. That vertical scar usually plays an important role in providing a nice shape to the breast. Whether or not an implant is used depends on you.
So there is the trade off. You can improve shape and size but there will always be scars. Often times the scars are very inconspicuous but sometimes not. It would be a good idea to review photos of the scars of patients who have had similar surgeries at your doctors office before you make your final decision.
Good Luck,
Dr. Hargrave
An Anchor Breast Lift Would Be The Most Beneficial
If you do not want larger breasts then you can certainly have a lift without implants. If you don't mind or want a somewhat larger breasts then a small implant could be added. Because of the size of your breasts any lift will not be permanent but will be an improvement over what you have now. I am unimpressed with the results of a donut lift for a patient like you and would recommend an anchor. Scars will improve over time, particularly the vertical one, and this can be done with or without an implant and should last the longest with the best shape.
Your plastic surgeon has present you with good options
Thank you for the question and photo. You will first have to decide for yourself what is most important to you since the best shape will require a vertical incision down your breast while a circular incision around the areola alone will provide minimal scarring but less shape improvement.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta

I hadn't eaten, so I ordered a rocoto relleno, a stuffed pepper, and ate that accompanied by a not-so-cold beer. Again, the floating-in-water technique just does not cut it.
This was going to be a festival, Incan, of course, praising water. We had been told they were going to put on a short play about it followed by many dances performed by local students. We took a walk and when we started hearing music we came back and there were already dancers in the stage area, so either they didn't do the play or it lasted for all of 3 minutes.
The dances were beautiful and so lively. It just makes me want to get out there and dance a bit, though they did look pretty worn out after! Each group danced for quite a while, so they were all panting pretty hard after finishing. Still looks fun though, and definitely a good workout.

750 Mighty Demon help?
I'm spinning this thread off of my old thread "correct air/fuel ratio" in the hopes of getting some advice from the Demom tech guy who visits this board. So demon tech guy please refer to that thread for more background since I haven't gotten anyone on the phone yet.
My problem is that I have my idle and WOT tuned in fairly well but my cruise is way too rich, like 11:1 A/F. Here's some tuning and spec background info:
Engine/car specs: 408 BBC, 9.2:1 CR, 248/254 @0.050, single plane intake, rect port heads, 2" headers, 3600 stall, 4.10 gear in a 3600 lb car.
Current cart setting: 18 deg timing, increased main jets from box 76/83 to 78/89, dropped to a 4.5 power valve in primary and left secondary plugged as from factory, idle mixture screws ~3/4 out, 8" of Hg vacuum in Park idling @ 900rpm.
Currently idles around 14.5 A/F and 12.5 @ WOT but rich as 10.8 A/F at cruise. I've been advised to jet according to cruise A/F and modify the PVCR to get the proper WOT ratio but I don' t want to drill on the metering block until I get a suggestion from Demon. Thanks in advance.
The link below is to a long thread on Demon tuning. It is full of some excellent first hand info. If you have the patience it may help solve your issues.
Tuning based on A/F ratio
To get a leaner A/F ratio at part throttle, while still maintaing your proper WOT A/F increasing your PVCR, and decreasing your main jet size to get the proper overall volume.
Before we get into that let's look at a couple of things first.
Other than a rich number on your A/F gauge how is the engine performing?
What type of A/F ratio meter are you using?
How much vacuum is the engine producing at your cruise RPM?
What type of ignition, and advance system are you using?
How much timing are you running when you're seeing this situation?
What tuning have you done to this point?
What were the results?
The engine runs well but consumes more gas than even a BB should. Every once in a while it has a hard hot start but I think that might be that the plugs are a bit fouled from running rich at cruise. WOT is smooth and cruise sounds ok but the car does not feel smooth, kind of a surge then relax over and over...if that makes sense. It doesn't backfire or miss.
The A/F meter is the LM-1 which is a digital wide band unit.
The engine puts out right around 15" Hg @ cruise which is about 40mph and probably 2800rpm.
I have a MSD distributor and MSD AL box w/ no vacuum advance just the mechanical system in the distributor.
I'm running 18deg initial timing and the total is 33deg. I would guess that the timing at cruise would be anywhere from 25 to 33 depending on how fast I'm going.
As far as tuning I have set the idle mixture screws based on manifold vacuum mostly which turns out to be 3/4 out. I replaced the factory power valve 6.5 to 4.5. The transfer slots are as close to squares as I can get them. I then performed the following jet changes which had these effects on A/F. The main reason I use the A/F meter is to test WOT and cruise so I don't have to be pulling the plugs so much. Also the vacuum at WOT is zero.
76/83 Box Jetting
cruise 10.8-11
76/86 - since in was so lean at WOT
cruise 10.8-11
73/89 - to see if that would improve the cruise A/F
cruise 10.8-11.2
78/89 - current jetting
cruise 10.5
Thanks for the help!
The LM-1 is a very good quality unit, we've had very good results with these units.
A few more questions for you:
1) What intake manifold are you using?
2) Are you running any type of spacer between the carburetor, and intake manifold?
3) Are you testing in a the same location each time when you down to a laptop?
4) Have you checked to see how the spark plugs are burning?
5) Are the plugs burning evenly from cylinder to cylinder?
tech @ bg,
I'm running a single plane Holley Strip Dominator w/ no spacer.
So far I haven't downloaded to a computer. I can watch the idle and cruise and get a good idea on average A/F and I have a passenger watch the meter for me during WOT passes. This may not be as good as downloading to a computer but I think it is close enough.
Yes, WOT throttle testing is done in the same location. Long stretch of flat road which I am in no shortage of here in Illinois.
I was checking the plugs before I got the LM-1 and they were getting black very quickly. I don't think the cylinders on the corners were AS rich as the middle ones but still getting black.
Also, I realize this combo is not perfect for a small inch
BB but it is what I have since I got a good deal on it. So I'll just do the best I can and go on.
When tunning with the Innovate unit, it is best to set a course where you can run the same area each time while tuning. This will give you the most repeatable results while testing.
Before doing anything else I would install a 4-hole spacer between the carburetor, and intake manifold. This will increase the air velocity going through the carburetor, and intake manifold, and should help with this situation.
If it does not let me know, then we can walk you through changing the PVCR sizing.
Just happened to have a 1" 4 hole spacer hanging on the wall in the garage. It seems to have improved throttle response but made no difference to the rich condition @ cruise. The WOT is still around 12.5 A/F. I guess it's time for some PVCR tuning. Let me know what I need to do first. Thanks.
If you'll send me an e-mail at the office with your return e-mail address I can walk you through this. firstname.lastname@example.com

Southern Middle School helps 'dodge' heart diseaseBy TERRI REUTER
Publications/public information coordinator,
Southern York County School District
Students and staff at Southern Middle School dodged heart disease recently by wearing hats and pajama pants to school, playing dodge ball, and entering raffles.
As part of a campaign for the American Heart Association, students and staff raised $2,200 for the Dodging Heart Disease fundraiser. This amount surpassed the $1,732 that was raised last year. Students paid $1.00 to wear hats and PJ pants on various days and staff paid $2.00 during those days as well. Students also collected pledges to compete in a dodge ball tournament. Each dodge ball team consisted of six members, with a total of 23 dodge ball teams that participated. The top pledgers received prizes, coupons, and gift certificates from area businesses.During the tournament, the top dodge ball teams from each grade battled each other. Top teams from both seventh and eighth grades also competed against the staff. The event culminated as students and staff teams battled each other in dodge ball at Susquehannock High School. The school's jazz band entertained students and staff throughout the event.
"Our goal this year was to raise $2,100 for the American Heart Association," said Darla Pennewill, Southern Middle School physical education teacher.
The school held the fundraiser in conjunction with its PRIDE program (which stands for Prepared, Respect, Integrity, Do Your Best, and Engaged), the school wide effective behavior system. "This was a really nice school effort," Pennewill said. "With the PRIDE Program, we talk to the students about being involved with PRIDE and how to give back to the community by donating to the American Heart Association."
For the last several years, Southern Middle School has held the dodge ball fundraiser and tournament and incorporated the PRIDE program into the event, Principal Len Reppert said.

"As a result of its investigations, Top Energy did not accept Mr Wasson's claims and said that in attending the fire service callout while being on stand-by, he was in breach of its emergency policy, which amounted to serious misconduct"
A Top Energy worker and volunteer fire chief disciplined for breaching company policy and speeding in a work vehicle on his way to a fire callout has lost his bid to have the policy declared unlawful and the sanction imposed on him unjustified.
Top Energy senior faultman and Kerikeri Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Les Wasson had privilege to attend community service during work hours withdrawn for 12 months from January 31, this year, after an incident on December 13, 2012.
Mr Wasson took a case to the Employment Relations Authority saying the company policy he breached was unlawful or unreasonable and he was treated unjustifiably by the company.
In a decision released yesterday, ERA member Anna Fitzgibbon ruled against Mr Wasson, finding the policy was not inconsistent with his employment contract terms and the sanction imposed by the company was within the range of responses open to a fair and reasonable employer in the circumstances.
Mr Wasson has been employed by the company since 1977 and in his role as chief fire officer has been attending fire service callouts during normal working hours and while on the Top Energy stand-by roster.
The company introduced its Emergency Community Service Policy in mid-2011 for employees engaged in emergency community service work during work hours or while on stand-by.
Mr Wasson was consulted as a union delegate while the policy was being formulated.
On December 13, 2012, Mr Wasson responded to an emergency fire service callout while being on call for Top Energy. He exceeded the speed limit in a company car. On discovering this, Top Energy undertook a disciplinary investigation.
Mr Wasson explained to Top Energy he was speeding because he was attending the callout. Top Energy concluded he was in breach of the company's vehicle policy and he was issued with a warning, which he accepted.
Mr Wasson denied being aware of the prohibition from attending emergency callouts while on call and denied being aware the emergency policy had been finalised.
As a result of its investigations, Top Energy did not accept Mr Wasson's claims and said that in attending the fire service callout while being on stand-by, he was in breach of its emergency policy, which amounted to serious misconduct.
Geoffrey Smith, Top Energy's project delivery manager told the ERA it was difficult to keep a record of employees taking time off work to attend emergency community work and it was impacting on business.
He said it was not just an issue involving Mr Wasson, but others at Top Energy who were involved in volunteer community service work.
The company says it allowed up to 20 paid hours leave a year for each volunteer to do so, which it was not required by law to do.

If your investment strategy involves buying stocks with a high dividend yield, you may want to look carefully before you buy and bet on the income. Many dividend stocks with high yields have calculated their income payout based on previous dividends that are annualized out. This means that you're buying based on past dividend investment trends, not on the future. A safer bet is to buy stocks raising their dividends and boosting yields like H.J. Heinz (HNZ), Lowe's (LOW) and McKesson (MCK) have of late – among others.
To ensure your income focused trading strategy is in order and that you're buying the best dividend stocks with a true yield you can count on, it's safest to bank on stocks that are boosting their dividends now. Nobody wants to be caught holding a company that cuts its dividend or eliminates it altogether.
Here are six stocks that have boosted their dividends recently that are worth a look:
Dividend Yield Increase – Heinz
Iconic ketchup maker and food products company H.J. Heinz (HNZ) raised its dividend at the end of May from $1.68 to $1.80 per share, or an increase of about 7%. That boosts the dividend yield of Heinz to about 3.8% as of current valuations.
Heinz has done well recently thanks to strong brand loyalty and the stability of consumer staples sales in an uncertain economic environment for investors. The company's revenue has grown about 10% in the past few years, from $9 billion in 2007 to $10.1 billion in fiscal 2009 — no small feat in the face of the worst recession in generations. Heinz earnings recently beat analysts expectations with EPS of 60 cents a share over forecasts of 59 cents, and the company is showing strength right now.
Dividend Yield Increase – Lowes
Home improvement retailer Lowe's (LOW) raised its quarterly cash dividend last week by about 22% to 11 cents a share. The dividend boosts the company's yield, and is payable Aug. 4 to shareholders of record July 21. Lowe's has declared a cash dividend every quarter since going public in 1961, and this increase in yield makes this stock pick even more attractive to income investors.
Lowe's recently reported a 2.7% increase in earnings to 34 cents per share on the quarter, topping estimates by nearly 10%. LOW stock revenue also grew by nearly 5%. Lowe's has met or exceeded earnings forecasts in each of the last three quarters, and is optimistic about its next report that will hit Wall Street in August. Lowe's dividend yield is now 1.9%.
Dividend Yield Increase – McKesson
McKesson Corporation (MCK), a health care company that offers medicines, pharmaceutical supplies and other products, bumped its dividend higher by 50% recently. Specifically, MCK increased its dividend yield by pushing its quarterly payout to 18 cents a share from 12 cents a share based on strong cash flow trends. The ex-dividend date is June 8 payable to shareholders on June 30.
McKesson recently fell just shy of earnings estimates in its first-quarter report. However its worth noting that MCK stock has seen improving EPS for each of the last four consecutive quarters. MCK stock now yields 1.1%.
Dividend Yield Increase – Quanex Building Products
Quanex Building Products (NX) announced recently that it will add 4 cents to its annual dividend, a 33% boost over the previous income payout. The second quarter dividend from Quanex will be 4 cents a share, payable June 30, 2010 to shareholders of record on June 16, 2010. NX also recently authorized a stock buyback of 1 million shares.
Though aluminum sheeting and other building products don't seem like they would be in high demand amid a housing slump, Quanex is booming right now. The company has topped EPS estimates for four straight quarters with performances that range from a 57% beat to a stunning 1,700% earnings surprise! NX stock is up 20% year to date compared with a small decline in the broader markets. NX stock now yields 0.8%.
Dividend Yield Increase – Ryanair
As Europe's largest no-frills airline, Dublin-based Ryanair (RYAAY) has managed to weather the recession fairly well thanks to its popularity among cash-strapped flyers. On Tuesday, Ryanair announced a return to profitability Tuesday and began paying its first-ever cash dividend to shareholders since the company went public in 1997.
Specifically, Ryanair will pay out 500 million pounds, which equates to 34 European cents per share, in October. What's more, management said it may return another 500 million pounds to shareholders through either a one-time dividend or share buyback by the end of 2013. After announcing that its May passenger traffic was up 17% this year over last, it's reasonable to expect that Ryanair will have the cash for such a move if these trends continue.
Dividend Yield Increase – Williams Sonoma
Williams-Sonoma Inc. (WSM) announced at the end of May that it will execute a $60 million stock buyback plan. Coupled with this, Williams-Sonoma raised its quarterly dividend another 15%, bringing its total dividend increase for the year to 25%. Best of all for those that are looking to buy in to WSM stock, the boost comes immediately after a May 23 dividend so there is a huge window of buying opportunity before the next dividend is paid out in late summer.
In its recent earnings report, Williams-Sonoma posted a bigger-than-expected fiscal first-quarter profit. Specifically, WSM stock came with earnings per share that were nearly double what were forecast, with EPS of 23 cents on an estimate of 12 cents! The showing marked four straight quarterly earnings surprises for Williams-Sonoma, and the housewares retailer expects continued success going forward. WSM now yields 2.2%.
As of this writing, Jeff Reeves did not own a position in any of the stocks mentioned here.

Former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi triggered outrage from Italy's political left on Sunday with comments defending fascist wartime leader Benito Mussolini at a ceremony commemorating victims of the Nazi Holocaust.
Speaking at the margins of the event in Milan, Berlusconi said Mussolini had been wrong to follow Nazi Germany's lead in passing anti-Jewish laws but that he had in other respects been a good leader.
"It's difficult now to put yourself in the shoes of people who were making decisions at that time," said Berlusconi, who is campaigning for next month's election at the head of a coalition that includes far-right politicians whose roots go back to Italy's old fascist party.
"Obviously the government of that time, out of fear that German power might lead to complete victory, preferred to ally itself with Hitler's Germany rather than opposing it," he said.
"As part of this alliance, there were impositions, including combatting and exterminating Jews," he told reporters. "The racial laws were the worst fault of Mussolini as a leader, who in so many other ways did well," he said, referring to laws passed by Mussolini's fascist government in 1938.
Although Mussolini is known outside Italy mostly for the alliance with Nazi Germany, his government also paid for major infrastructure projects as well as welfare for supporters.
Berlusconi's comments overshadowed Sunday's commemoration of thousands of Jews and others deported from Italy to the Nazi death camps of eastern Europe. They were condemned as "disgusting" by the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), which is leading in the polls ahead of the Feb. 24-25 election.
"Our republic is based on the struggle against Nazi fascism and these are intolerable remarks which are incompatible with leadership of democratic political forces," said Marco Meloni, the PD's spokesman for institutional affairs.
Antonio Ingroia, a former anti-mafia magistrate campaigning at the head of a separate left-wing coalition, said Berlusconi was "a disgrace to Italy".
It was not the first time Berlusconi has defended Mussolini, whose status in Italy remains deeply ambiguous 67 years after he was executed by communist partisans while trying to flee to Switzerland in April, 1945.
Many Italian politicians, including the speaker of the Lower House of parliament, Gianfranco Fini, come from the ranks of the old Italian Social Movement (MSI) which grew out of the fascist party, although Fini and others have renounced the far right.
Others, including Francesco Storace, Berlusconi's candidate for president of the Lazio region, have stayed true to what they see as the "social-right" tradition of the fascist movement.
Monuments to Mussolini, who came to power in 1922, still dot many Italian cities, including Rome, where a column to Il Duce stands close to the city's main football stadium, within a stone's throw of the foreign ministry.
Although never as fervently anti-semitic as his Nazi allies, Mussolini's government persecuted Italy's Jewish population, which was then estimated to number about 40,000, according to the Jewish Contemporary Documentation Centre in Milan.
The 1938 laws imposed oppressive restrictions on Jews and some 10,000 are estimated to have been deported from Italy between September 1943 and March 1945. Most of them died in the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.
While anti-semitic behaviour has not been as prominently reported in Italy in recent years as in neighbouring countries such as France, acts ranging from anti-Jewish graffiti to chants at football matches occur periodically.
"We must be very careful to ensure that these sparks, which recur every now and then, cannot bring back tragedies which humanity should not suffer again," outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti said on Sunday.

Link Dump: Some Good ReadsPosted: June 14, 2011 Filed under: Links Leave a comment
While doing some reading around the world wide web, I came across a few very good articles that are definitely worth checking out. Here they are:
- Mike of River Ave Blues took a look at each of the Yankee regulars and how their numbers have progressed at different integrals of the season. It's interesting to see who has dropped off and who has come on strong.
- Eric Schultz of The Yankee Analysts takes a look to see if Joba Chamberlain's injury could provide him with a clean slate and if he could possible start when he comes back.
- And lastly, Cliff Corcoran of Pinstriped Bible takes a look at some of the in-house options to help re-stablize the bullpen with all of the injuries.

Official White House Response to Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016. .
This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For
By Paul Shawcross
The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:
•The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.
•The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
•Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?

Not the player I was expecting to do this in regulation, very impressive. Same like old Tinsley who had it once in double overtime game. As great as LBJ, Kobe or Durant are they never had 5X5 yet.
Mediocre game yesterday. Still hard to peg this team as a whole, especially re: Kevin Love's impact.
Fun article on AK in Minny: https://www.foxsportsnorth.com/12/18...9&feedID=10354
Best quote: "He's operating by his own set of rules -- just ask Rick Adelman. 'There are times, offensively, I'm not sure what he's doing,' the coach said in November. 'He's all over the place. But the effort he gives . . . you've got to give him freedom.'"
22/4/2/1 10-16 FG, 2-3 3pt in a loss vs Miami. Easily was the best player on the court matching or soemtimes even outplaying LBJ. No Rubio and Love with Pekovic missing tons of shots doomed them in second half.
Last two games AK played like crap... anyway, he is nr. 2 behind only K.Durant on this list - pretty interesting stuff.
I have always been a fan of AK. Im not in with the group of haters. I think he has a nice positive impact on the game. Its too bad that Jazz nation and the front office had it out for him. We could really use him right now.
What did he sign? 3 years 10 mil a piece? Well we just got Marvin for 8 mil at 2 years ( yes, he will opt in for the money) Marvin is garbage. Id take AK over Marvin anyday.
AK has faded in the last stretch. He's played some good defense--though Adelman inexplicably left Shved on Harden last night--but his offensive contributions have been much more in tune with latter-day AK, including some dreadful drives to the baskets and terrible finishes. FG% is dropping quickly. His minutes are also down a little, but that's to be expected.
Wish they would go ahead and bite the bullet and make Rubio the starter with Shved/Pek/Love/AK. Makes no sense to keep bringing him off the bench if he's not going to close games regardless.
20/5/4 game in a win over Suns. Kind of interesting 10-13 FG... no FT or 3s attempted. Next game vs Jazz!
I enjoyed watching AK play against the Jazz. he had a good line but the T-Pups couldn't hit the broad side of the barn with there shots. Jazz played one of there better games, Wolves one of there worst. AK got a lot of cheers when introduced. And thats the way it should have been
wow u guys really really like ak huh
Miny is weird team. Sucks completely vs Jazz and then next night goes to Denver, loses Love in 3 quarter and still wins it. 14/4/3/3 game for AK.
Kevin Love refractures finger, out another four to six weeks, probs.
Just watched the end of the wolves game. The commentator mentioned that AK is 1 assist away from 2000 and 1 steal away from 1000 for his carrier. Glad that I got to watch most of those while he was with the Jazz.

|L. laevigata
Common Names: Blue Linckia Starfish
Scientific Name: Linckia laevitgata
The Blue Linckia starfish is a bright blue sea star of unusual beauty. The body and five arms are a medium to dark solid blue in coloration sometimes with lighter blue spots along the arms.. The arms are long, thick and blunt ended with little taper. It is relatively slow in motion even for a starfish and seems methodical as it moves about. It is primarily nocturnal and hunts for food at night.
Natural Environment:
Comes from reefs in the Indo-Pacific region where it has a sparse but wide distribution.
Reef Tank Suitability:
Blue Linckia starfish are popular in the reef aquarium trade and excellent reef aquarium candidates, but little is known about the proper requirements for keeping them and they are relatively delicate. When selecting a specimen, ensure that its body and arms look plump and not shrunken. Avoid any specimen that has whitish areas or patches of discoloration as they tend to fair poorly in shipment.
Blue Linckia starfish seem to be harmless to any corals or other standard aquarium livestock
Blue Linckia starfish are mainly detritivore and graze on organic films and possibly small organisms on live rock. Supplemental feeding has typically not been effective.
Relatively delicate when first introduced. Some Blue Linckia starfish thrive for years in aquaria and seem hardy once established and others seems to quickly succumb to degeneration brought on by transport stress or slowly starve and waste away probably due to inadequate nutrition. Long-term success appears to be a combination of the health of the starfish when first acquired as well as the food availability within the aquarium. Larger tanks with greater amounts of live rock for the Linckia to feed on have a better chance for success.
All Starfish require careful acclimation in the aquarium. Ideally salinity and pH will be tested between the transport water and the home tank and slow adjustment made between the two over several hours, preferably using the drip acclimation method.
Does well within normal reef tank temperature ranges of approximately 74-84°F.
Blue Linckia starfish can grow to about 12″ across, but typically are 5 to 8″ across in the hobby trade.

So, my friend, Josh Wolf, got me into Vloggercon, a videoblogging convention, as a volunteer. He was speaking in the "Political Vlogging & Social Change" panel. The government "ordered [him] to turn over...unpublished video footage of [a San Francisco] protest and to submit to examination by the federal grand jury". This case addresses a journalist's right to remain silent. Read more.
The convention also included panels on community, narrative, and personal vlogs, seminars for people to brush up on their technical skills, and different forums in which people could present their work, such as blip.tv. Check out some videos of the convention shot by Zennie Abraham.

This Has Nothing To Do With The Name Of This Site!Submitted by michelle on Sun, 2006-06-18 16:51.
It's so weird. I won a cactus today. Well, at a raffle.
After coffee, my friend and I went to the park because it was close and we had nothing to do. It's a large park with a lake and arboretum and other things. We passed by the County Fair Building, which had a sign up for a cactus show. We thought it would be really boring but it was there and free, so why not. It was a good 45 minutes worth of amusement. We have spent the same amount of time covering the entirety of the three-story DeYoung Museum and didn't find anything interesting.
It turns out that there are many varieties of cactus, some spotted, striped, Escher stairs-like, and a couple that were really nasty. Some are smooth and look like rocks. One was squat and had soft white stuff on the top that felt like fur. You could pet it. It's a great low-maintenance alternative to a dog or cat. I kept walking back to touch it. I definitely recommend petting cacti.
I'm so excited. I won a Euphorbia. My plants generally die or mutate. I will try not to kill it.

The ENC Animal Caretakers Team visited the South Shore Christian Academy in Weymouth on March 11, bringing a variety of reptiles and amphibians face-to-face with sophomore science students. Biology professor Jonathan Twining and his ACT student assistants spoke about the animals' characteristics and behaviors, and instructed the high school students on caring for the ecosystems and for God's creation. The students from SSCA wrote their thoughts and reactions to the presentation:
TOP TEN STUDENT COMMENTS:1. This is the first time I've seen someone feel passionate about animals BECAUSE they are God's creation and he explained more about how they help us rather than hurt us.2. Snakes seem much less harmful to me now than they did before. I guess I just always thought they would attack if they saw humans.3. It's nice to see more of the snake's perspective on people and how they react so we, as humans, don't always see them as killing machines.4. I could tell that they really cared about the animals; also they cared about us and educating us on the animals.5. The caretakers were gentle with the animals and seemed to stress the fact of helping animals in need; I respected their position and it influenced me to help animals that need help instead of ones that are already healthy.6. I enjoyed the visit from the animal caretakers. I thought that it was an enjoyable, effective way to learn about different animals. I think being able to see the animals up close was cool. The professor really seemed to know what he was talking about and could answer almost every question. That was nizo.7. I found all the information they told us to be interesting and helpful and I even remembered learning some of it during biology class. 8. I liked the snakes the best and how we were able to touch them. I thought overall it was just a cool experience because I have never actually seen, touched or even heard of the names of those animals before.9. God created every creature and he said it was good, so we shouldn't just go around and kill things needlessly. 10. The workers were very personal, animated and were glad to answer questions.For more information on the Animal Caretakers Team , please contact Jonathan Twining at email@example.com.

|solar synthesis, sustainability, climate change, green chemistry
|The Solar Thermal Electrochemical Process (STEP) was introduced to provide a complete solution to lowering carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (1). STEP utilizes a synergy of thermal and electrochemical energy to drive endothermic processes at increased efficiencies and high rates. STEP is a versatile technique that applies thermal energy to concentrated reactants to decrease the energy of endothermic electrolysis reactions. By elevating reactant temperature using solar thermal energy, the voltage needed to drive the endothermic electrolysis reactions can be tuned to allow for sub-bandgap sunlight that was previously discarded by photovoltaics1 This process has been shown experimentally for processes ranging from the initial water splitting experiment to bleach production, iron metal production, cement, and carbon dioxide reduction. STEP can achieve in excess of 50% solar energy conversion efficiency. Utilizing different molten salt mediums, these processes have been shown to occur at very low energy and to maintain current densities (A cm-2) sustaining high process rates. STEP utilizes chemical and solar thermal concentrations to adjust the tuning potentials of endothermic electrolysis processes to allow more efficient conversions. 1.

July 4th and Fido -- be careful for him!
Original post made by dogfather, another community, on Jul 2, 2014
SO: Please, PLEASE leave Fido home if you are going to the Danville Parade. Not a year goes by without seeing some terrified pooch high-tailing it down Hartz with its people in futile pursuit. They're fast, but no match for a car. That's true even if you think Fifi's not gun-shy -- hell, those old shotgun-totin' gomers scare ME! Further, it'll be hot, Rover's wearing fur, his feet are bare on the hot pavement, and he's a Lot closer to it than you are.
Later, when you go out to see fireworks, leave your pets INside with no escape route -- screens are no barrier for them -- and leave the stereo or tv on -- preferably no 1812 Overture renditions. Garage if necessary, but no tethering -- I once spoke with a woman whose beloved hounds hung themselves over her deck -- and many an owner has come home to a dog draped over the fence. Don't do that to your best friend.

Thank you so much Dog Father! Inside the house with the AC on and some music or TV turned on fairly loud to drown out the outside noise. This has worked for years for our beloved dogs. They generally nap through the noise. We may enjoy the fireworks but they do not and they need to be protected.

Motley Crue Dragged Into Lawsuit Over Steven Tyler's 'American Idol' Deal
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Motley Crue has been dragged into a lawsuit between Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler's former management company (Tenth Street Entertainment) and his lawyer.
Kovac Media Group (d/b/a Tenth Street Entertainment), which served as Tyler's personal manager, sued attorney Dina LaPolt last October claiming she cost Tyler a $6 to $8 million pay raise in 2011 in his contract for another season with "American Idol". Kovac Media Group, run by Allen Kovac, is now claiming that LaPolt has attempted to retaliate against him for the lawsuit by "conspiring" to "set up a competing management company" to steal away Motley Crue, the "world-famous rock band" that Kovac has been representing for the past 15 years.
On Monday, January 7th, declarations by Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars and drummer Tommy Lee were filed along with new court papers by LaPolt asking a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to strike Kovac's complaint based on California's anti-SLAPP statute. According to Mars' declaration, he first learned of what had happened on Oct. 15, when he got an e-mail from LaPolt describing the dispute and stating that he should get an independent attorney if he was concerned. Mars says he was "completely shocked and mad that Motley Crue's manager had sued our lawyer. I trust Dina implicitly, to the point that she is my trustee if I die or become disabled."
A few hours after Mars read the e-mail, he says he was informed that Pam Malek, the band's business manager, had told one of Kovac's attorneys to draw up documents giving Kovac $200,000 of Motley Crue money. According to Mars, the money was supposed to repay a personal loan that Kovac had given to the band's singer Vince Neil (no longer a shareholder in the band), but Mars said that he never voted for that to happen. "Once I saw Pam Malek's e-mail, I got very concerned about her ability to be unbiased and act in my best interests," says Mars. "Because Pam is also the business manager for 11-7 Recording Corp. (one of Allen Kovac's companies) and represents many of Allen Kovac's clients, I felt she was controlled by him and would do whatever he demanded, whether or not it was in my best interests." Malek was later terminated, and Mars hired new representatives. Mars calls Kovac's assertion that LaPolt was interfering and guiding him to retain new business reps to be "false and ridiculous" and that "any strain between Motley Crue and Allen Kovac is caused by Allen Kovac's actions."

Florida State fans can rest assured their quarterback situation is in good hands. After all, how many other teams could lose their starter and have the backup earn MVP honors in a Gator Bowl win?
E.J. Manuel proved Christian Ponder isn't irreplaceable last season, and that's a good thing for a program vying to win the Atlantic Division title in the first season under Jimbo Fisher. When it comes to the offense, there isn't much Florida State is missing, but the Seminoles are just one of several teams in the ACC prepared to replace key players if need be.
The deepest position throughout the ACC appears to be at running back, where numerous programs have to figure out how to divvy up the carries this fall. Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Miami, North Carolina, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech are all at least two deep at the position -- at least. The Hokies are fortunate enough to have two former backups turned 1,000-yard rushers in Darren Evans and Ryan Williams, both of whom got their opportunities at the expense of an injured teammate.
At Florida State, running back Chris Thompson passed Jermaine Thomas on the unofficial post-spring depth chart, but there's also Lonnie Pryor, Tavares Pressley, Ty Jones and junior-college transfer Debrale Smiley, who is a fullback/tailback like Pryor. Both Florida State and Boston College return at least four starters each on their offensive lines, which immediately helps the depth there.
Miami has four returning receivers who had at least 200 yards receiving a year ago, and Duke had so much depth at receiver that it was able to move one of its top four pass-catchers -- Johnny Williams -- to cornerback this past spring.
Miami is also stocked on the defensive line, where the defensive ends go about three-deep on each side. The same can be said at Clemson, which returns three starters on the defensive line, and can also depend upon DE Andre Branch (38 tackles, 7.5 for loss) and DE Malliciah Goodman (26 tackles, 6.0 for loss).
Maryland returns all three of its starting linebackers and their backups. At Boston College, defensive coordinator Bill McGovern's scheme utilizes a lot of players, which helps continue the strong defensive tradition there because the players are always prepared. Reserves from 2009 such as CB Donnie Fletcher (51 tackles), DE Brad Newman (45 tackles), LB Dominick LeGrande (36 tackles), LB Anthony DiSanzo (28 tackles) and CB Isaac Johnson (27 tackles) all saw significant playing time.
No team in the ACC, though, is as loaded on defense as North Carolina, which returns nine starters. They have combined for 234career starts -- the most of any team in the ACC, with S Deunta Williams and CB Kendric Burney making 38 starts each. The challenge for Butch Davis this fall will be getting the backups some playing time in preparation for 2011.
The goal of course for all coaches is to use their backups when they want to -- not when they have to.
