Federal Pell Grant
The Pell Grant does not need to be repaid. The maximum award in 2010-2011 is $5,550 if the student has a 0 Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). As the EFC increases, the Pell award decreases. Students with an EFC above 4617 are ineligible for a Pell award. Students can receive the award during six quarters in a fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). You are encouraged to complete all courses each quarter. Dropping or failing courses can result in the reduction of your quarterly Pell award.
Federal Academic Competitiveness Grant Program (ACG)
The ACG Program awards grants to help eligible financially needy first and second year undergraduate students meet the cost of their postsecondary education.The student must be; a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen; a Pell recipient; have completed a rigorous secondary school program of study, and enrolled full time in a degree granting program. First year students must have graduated after January 1, 2006. The maximum annual award is $750, distributed equally over the academic year. Second year students must have graduated after January 1, 2005, and have a cumulative college GPA of 3.0. The maximum annual award is $1,300, distributed equally over the academic year.
Federal National SMART Grant Program (SMART)
The National SMART Grant Program awards grants to help eligible financially needy third and fourth year undergraduate students who are pursuing eligible majors, meet the cost of their education. The approved eligible majors include physical, life or computer sciences, mathematics, technology, engineering or a critical foreign language. The student must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen; Pell eligible; enrolled full-time in an eligible major and have a cumulative college GPA of 3.0 or higher. Third and fourth year students can receive a maximum award of $4,000 per year.
State of Illinois MAP Grant
The State of Illinois MAP Grant does not need to be repaid. The maximum award in 2010-2011 is $4,968 for a student with a 0 EFC. As the student's EFC increases, the MAP award decreases. Funding is based on approval from the Illinois Legislature. Students with an EFC above $9,000 are ineligible for MAP. In the past, each time a student received a MAP grant they were assessed eligibility units according to their enrollment status (full time, half time, less than half time.). Starting with the 2004-05 academic year, eligibility for a MAP grant is no longer being tracked by eligibility units, but will be tracked by the equivalent number of semester credit hours of MAP benefits paid on your behalf. This is called MAP Paid Credit Hours. A recipient may receive the equivalent of 135 semester credit hours of MAP benefits paid. A recipient may use no more than 75 Map Paid Credit Hours while enrolled at the freshman or sophomore level. Students can receive one-third of the award during three of the five quarters in a fiscal year. The May quarter is an ineligible MAP quarter for all students.
This program is administered by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) and assists Illinois residents who attend an approved Illinois college. ISAC rules limit eligibility to dependent students whose parents are Illinois residents and to self-supporting students who have resided in Illinois 12 continuous months from June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2010.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
SEOG does not need to be repaid. This grant program is funded by the Federal Government, but it is administered by RMU. SEOG is reserved for Pell-eligible students who have the lowest EFCs. Most SEOG awards are made to freshmen and sophomores since the RMU Board of Trustees Grant is awarded to juniors and seniors who are enrolled full-time and are graduates of RMU's Associate Degree program.
Federal Perkins Loan
This program is funded by the Federal Government and RMU. Students receive this loan from RMU, and it must be repaid to RMU after the student graduates or withdraws from the University. The interest rate is 5% and no interest is charged while the student is enrolled at least half-time. The funds are very limited. The average loan awarded is $1,500 per academic year. The minimum repayment is $40 per month and begins nine months after the student leaves school or drops below half-time enrollment.
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan
A subsidized loan means that the Federal Government pays the interest to the lender while the student is in school and during other periods when the borrower is not required to make payments. Students must begin repaying this loan six months after leaving school or dropping below half-time enrollment. The interest rate may not exceed 8.25% and changes every July 1st based on the Federal T-bill rate. The interest rate in effect from July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011 is 5.60% for students in repayment.
When a student's EFC is subtracted from the student's cost of attendance, the result must be greater than zero for a student to be eligible to borrow this loan. Borrowing is limited by other aid the student has been awarded, as well as the following annual maximum loan limits:
Annual loan limits are prorated when the final period of enrollment is less than an academic year.
A student must sign a Master Promissory note with the Department of Education's William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. A Financial Services Advisor will assist the student in completing all the documentation.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan
An unsubsidized loan means that the Federal Government does not pay the interest on behalf of the student. Instead, the borrower pays all of the interest that accrues throughout the life of the loan, including interest that accrues while the borrower is enrolled in school. Interest that accrues while the borrower is enrolled may be paid in one of two ways. The borrower can either pay the interest as it accrues or have it capitalized. Capitalization of interest means that it is added to the loan principal and must be repaid when the borrower leaves school. The important thing to note is that capitalized interest becomes principal in this process. Thus, students who use this option will end up paying interest on accrued (and then capitalized) interest. Only independent students and dependent students whose parents are unable to secure a Federal PLUS Loan are eligible for the additional unsubsidized loan. Students' enrollment status must be at least half-time or eight credit hours. Students must begin repayment six months after leaving school or enrolling less than half-time. The maximum interest rate is 8.25 percent, and it is recalculated every July 1 based on the Federal T-Bill rate. From July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 the interest rate during in-school, grace, and deferment is 6.80%. To determine eligibility, RMU subtracts any estimated financial assistance the student will receive, including subsidized loans, from a student's cost of attendance, and the result is the maximum amount a student can borrow, provided it is below the following annual maximum amounts:
Additional Unsubsidized Loans
Annual loan limits are prorated when the final period of enrollment is less than an academic year. A student must sign a Master Promissory note with the Department of Education's William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. A financial services advisor will assist the student in completing all the documentation.
Federal Plus Loan
This program enables graduate students and parents of dependent undergraduate students to borrow federal loan money to help pay the educational cost . In order for a borrower to secure a PLUS loan, the borrower must meet all the criteria listed under Eligibility Criteria . Also, a borrower cannot have an adverse credit history. The student must be enrolled at least half-time. While there are no annual or cumulative borrowing maximums, eligible borrowers may not borrow more than the difference between the student's cost of attendance including all other financial aid and other resources the student will receive. The Department of Education deducts a 3-4% fee from the gross loan amount. The borrower is responsible for all interest that accrues on the loan, including periods when the student is enrolled and during periods of deferment and forbearance. Interest begins to accrue as soon as the loan funds are disbursed by the Department of Education to the school. The interest rate is variable but may not exceed 9%; the current rate from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 during in school and repayment is 7.90%.
The first payment of interest and principal for Federal PLUS Loan borrowers is due 60 days after the loan is fully disbursed. Borrowers who qualify for a deferment may have payment of their loan principal deferred and pay only the interest on the loan. Or they may capitalize the interest, which means that it will be added to the loan principal. A financial services advisor can assist parents in applying for a PLUS loan.
Federal Work Study Program
Federal Work Study (FWS) is a federally funded program that allows currently enrolled students to work part-time while attending school. These positions can be located off- or on-location. Students who are interested in applying for Federal Work Study must follow the steps indicated below:
Robert Morris University Illinois is a private, not-for-profit associate, baccalaureate, and master's degree-granting institution, accredited by the Higher learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (230 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60604, 312.263.0456) and authorized by the Illinois Board of Higher Education (1 N.

Darwin's Basket Cases, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- "It's a curious thing to think of Charles Darwin sitting alone, closely studying photographic portraits of the afflicted and insane. But in the late 1860s, that's exactly what he began doing: he sifted through portraits of kleptomaniacs, nymphomaniacs, sufferers of severe self-importance, hysteria, and general mania."
- Our very own Nicole Rudick on Bough Down, a new book of prose fragments and collage by Karen Green, who "faces a special difficulty: her husband was David Foster Wallace. This fact is both central to Bough Down and incidental to it. On the one hand, he was a famous, much admired writer, and Green's new identity as 'the designated survivor' is one she can't escape. 'You are like the moon,' she writes to Wallace, 'you shed light on my insignificance from a great, wordless distance.'"
- Charles Simic remembers the poet Russell Edson: "He thought of poetry as a cast-iron airplane that sporadically flies, chiefly because its pilot doesn't seem to care if it does or does not."
- At the Library of Congress, two hundred and fifty of Thomas Jefferson's books are missing.
- The Mesmerists of the eighteenth century believed that music played a vital role in the practice of animal magnetism. The proper tune could cure what ailed you, especially if it were played on one instrument in particular: the glass harmonica. "In fact, the association of the instrument with Mesmerism was one reason why it quickly went out of fashion."

Is THIS the Coolest Job in the World or What?
Jonathan Lee Iverson says he was auditioning for a part at a dinner theater in Wisconsin, and out of the blue, he was invited to apply for a job he didn't even know existed....Ringmaster for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
"It was weird, I got this call out of the blue aafter my dinner theater audition," Iverson said. "It was like the CIA calling and asking 'you want to be one of our spies?'"
But Iverson auditioned and he got the job. He says he was originally interested in a career as an opera singer.
"My plan was to continue my studies in opera, but I thought this would be a better pickup line," he joked. "Hi, I'm a ringmaster!"
Iverson will be in the center ring starting Thursday when the circus comes to the AT&T Center for a special show entitled 'Dragons.' He points out that the 140 year old circus is the longest running show in American history, and it has been around longer than Major League Baseball.
He calls the circus the original multi-tasking entertainment, a combination of Cirque de Soleil, with the amazing authentic Kung Fu Warriors, and a
'monster truck' event, with the Globe of Steel motorcycle spectacular.
"This year they are attempting eight motorcycles inside that globe, a 16 foot sphere, with eight motorcycles going at speeds of up to 60 miles her hour," he said. "Yeah, they're insane."
In addition to fast moving entertainment, the classic circus clowns, and the animal shows, Iverson says there is something special about the circus. He says there is a pre-show where people in the audience are invited to come down and meet the performers. Just try getting into a Cowboys locker room and shaking Tony Romo's hand at the next NFL game you attend.
"We have a pre show that is free with your ticket," he said. "You come down to the arena floor, you get to meert the artist, you get to see some of the animals, you get to hang out with the clowns."
The circus performance runs through Monday.

Vida Vegan Con: A Lesson in Shyness
We're excited to bring you this unique guest post from one of our 2011 attendees, Crissie of Run Crissie Run. As folks reading the internet right now, I'm sure we can all relate. Personally, my social anxiety tends to be at its lowest around vegans, and that's clearly another credit to this community. Without further adieu, we present Crissie's Vida Vegan Con experience…
Vida Vegan Con: A Lesson in Shyness
If there are degrees of shyness, I have them all. Loud, outspoken, passionate, sensitive, eloquent, intelligent, funny, goofy, quiet, wallflower, timid…I am all of those things.
It's amazing to me how different I can feel depending on the situation I am in. In a professional environment, I am confident, outgoing, articulate, firm, and when I need to be…challenging. No one who knows me in that setting would ever call me shy. I can envision MANY adjectives used to describe me there…but shy is not typically one of them.
In a social setting, however, it's a different story. I almost never initiate a conversation (though if you approach me, good luck getting me to shut up). I will stand on the periphery and watch people go by. I will see people I want to talk to…and I don't. I don't know how to walk into a conversation already in progress and contribute. I wish I did, but I don't.
When I blog, I'm more of what I'd like to consider as "the real me." It makes me think of Christian Slater's character in Pump Up the Volume (if you haven't seen it, you should). When I'm wearing my "work" or my "writing" hat, I can speak my mind the way I think…but for some reason, when I'm with people socially, I just don't know how to be that.
So you can imagine what a challenge in shyness Vida Vegan Con was! I came to VVC by myself…to a conference with a couple hundred people…many I've admired for years…replete with social events…not knowing anyone! I know I wasn't the only one in that situation, but I will admit…it freaked me out. No buddy system here for me!
I checked into my hotel (I didn't stay on campus…though now I wish I had), and got ready for the Cupcake and Champagne reception (which was brilliant, by the way). I showed up right on time, checked in, picked up my bag, and then went into the reception. I was absolutely amazed at the number of people there (and the fact that it was a good 10 minutes before anyone ate or drank…so they could get their blog shots done!). I listened to the amazing opening address, picked a table where no one was and sat there (too shy to "encroach" on an established table), and after meeting at least one online hero – JL from JL Goes Vegan – decided to leave.
My first non-shy moment of the weekend happened then. As I was leaving, I saw a woman yawn. As I was about to pass her, I joked that she must be an East-Coaster too. She engaged me right away, and I sat to talk to her for nearly an hour. As it happens, she's also from Virginia, and was there to support her daughter, Christa, who was speaking on a few panels over the weekend. She was absolutely wonderful to talk to, and while I had gone outside of my comfort zone just a little, if I hadn't, there's no way I'd have met her or her amazing daughter.
The next morning at breakfast, I bee-lined right to her table…and ended up having a very insightful conversation with everyone at the table about how we all became vegan.
Throughout the day it was more of the same…sessions where I was comfortable asking questions – but not saying Hi to the person sitting next to me (can I tell you how heartbreaking it was NOT saying hi to my longtime heroes like Isa and Colleen?!?!, but also getting to talk to Gena and Kittee??). At the same time, I was meeting people who were like me – passionate, intelligent, articulate…and shy.
During the fundraising dinner, I actually sat at the same table as Susan! I've followed her writing the longest, and she's the reason I've set my blog up the way I have with regards to never using anyone's name but my own. I spent the majority of the night talking to this longtime inspiration of mine, and found out she's shy too! The more people I met and opened up to about my shyness, the more people I met who were just like me.
So for the first time in my life, I met vegans (I don't know any in my personal life), learned more than I could ever hope to, and discovered that my shyness isn't necessarily unique with us bloggers. So while I tried hard to overcome my social timidness, it was also refreshing to know that I'm not the only one afflicted! VVC helped me to reach out more than I normally would, and that was almost as amazing as everything else I experienced throughout the weekend.
I had moments where I went outside of my comfort zone and actually approached people to mention how much I enjoyed reading their blogs or the appreciated the activism work they did. I was always shocked when someone read my nametag and initiated a chat with me.
So how to summarize my weekend? Great food, absolutely. Brilliant rock stars in the vegan world? Most definitely! An opportunity of a lifetime to learn from others and be there at the start of something amazing? You bet! And a chance to start being less shy around people who are a lot like me, absolutely! Bring on the next VVC…I promise, I'll say hi to everyone!
About the Author: I write about my crazy world, awesome food, and athletic attempts at Run Crissie Run and Twitter at (you guessed it) @runcrissierun. If you're bored, hop on the rollercoaster with me!
Despite being shy sometimes, I'm quite silly and goofy and passionate. I am interested in WAY too many things, and write about my desire to do them all. I have a husband, three kids, a cat, a dog, and a turtle; juggle a demanding (and amazing) career, read blogs obsessively, and overall fully and completely love my life.
5 thoughts on "Vida Vegan Con: A Lesson in Shyness"
Hi Crissie, I had a very similar experience to you at VVC which is why we didn't meet. 🙂 Next time, I'm going to be a lot less shy especially because I know other people feel the same way.

Chiefs fan - why the 4-3? And what do you think of Hartwell?

Post subject: Chiefs fan - why the 4-3? And what do you think of Hartwell?
Chiefs fan here. I have a question about your defense. I have read that Billick is reportedly going back to a more tradtional 4-3 defense. My question is why? You guys have unquestionably the best linebacking unit in the NFL, but now that the Ravens will employ the 4-3, it doesn't look like Edgerton Hartwell is going to be resigned. In my opinion he is one of the best young middle linebackers in the NFL. I am hoping the Chiefs will sign him to immediately add a veteran presence and playmaker at middle linebacker. Why are the Ravens going to the 4-3 and what do you guys think about Hartwell?

The reason for the switch is because the Ravens feel it's unlikely that they will be able to re-sign Hartwell because of the money other teams will offer him. They are assuming that they won't be able to re-sign him at a price they can afford to pay (remember they already have a lot of money invested in linebackers) and therefore they will be better suited to play more 4-3.
In short: If they don't have Hartwell then they think they are better of playing in a 4-3.

Well, he haven't exactly said we will turn to a 4-3 but rather that we will use more 4 man fronts. Our new DC Rex Ryan says he intend to mix it up with several different formations. That said here's some reasons for the change:
1. Ed Hartwell will probably be to expensive to keep. We have a lot of money tied up in the linebacker position with Ray, Boulware and Suggs so paying top money to Hartwell would be difficult when we need to adress the Offense.
2. Mike Nolan, our former DC, is gone and he was the biggest advocate of the 3-4. His replacement Rex Ryan used to be our D-line coach and likes to switch things up a little more.
3. Our D-line is a bit undersized for the 3-4 which showed when we played against some of the elite O-lines (like KC this year and the Titans in the playoffs last year) So with 4 guys up front they should be able to handle those lines better.
Hartwell is an excellent run stopper but he struggles in coverage. He really wants to be the nr 1 guy and he knows that he will never be that here with Ray Lewis. He even complained about Ray getting credit for his tackles this year. So i think it's time to let him go.

You bring up some good points about your defense. One linebacker I was wondering about is Adalius Thomas...he has really good size (270 lbs). I know he is an outside linebacker, but could he move inside with Lewis?

I think he'd do better on the edge.
Other reasons are that Ray Lewis will probably find it easier playing in the 4-3 in the later stages of his career. Two defensive tackles in front of him will keep blockers off him and allow him to run free more. Also, Defensive Lineman Anthony Weaver will probably have more of an impact as a left end in the 4-3.

3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
I don't think many were saying that at all. There may be a slight bias on this forum as mainly UK posters but more thought Vitor was going to KO Mike. Vitor is athletic and has very quick hands and mixed up his kicks which Lombard certainly won't do. Lombard is slow, predictable and tecnically poor, but he does have a lot of power. Belfort was a shit match up for Mike, Biping is a shit matchup for Lombard. I think he'll struggle to land a decent shot on him
I think if they fought that Lombard would KO Mike and thats not me being a hater, Lombard hits VERY hard and everytime Bisping gets hit with a good enough shot from someone with very heavy hands he gets drop e.g. Henderson, Wanderlei and Belfort. I'm taking nothing away from your opinion I'm just stating the facts.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!

If you are just joining us, you'll want to start here or check out my Clutter-Free Guide to Organizing and Managing Your Classroom.
Since Valentines Day is next week, I totally should have saved this topic until then because nothing gets my heart beating quite like talk about storage and storage containers.
I love them all.
I love them all.
Anyhow, on to this week's Clutter-Free Classroom PROJECT...
Throughout this week I'm going to be talking all about storage and storage containers. We'll chat about where to get them. I'll inspire you to recycle and upcycle. We're going to think outside the box (no pun intended). We're going to get crafty and organized all at the same time.
In the upcoming weeks, I'll be spotlighting specific classroom areas and materials and sharing tips and ideas for storage related specifically to them. For now, we are going to keep it general and open-ended.
Assess your current storage situation and make plans for improvement.
- Start by taking measurements of your space(s) and make an inventory of what you have. Below are two FREEBIES I created to help you plan for the storage you'll need in your classroom. If you are like me, you find it very hard to pass by storage containers in stores. But, it is important to know what your space will allow and what you really need. Last week we started "surface purging" by making a clean sweep. We'll continue purging, sorting and organizing all of the specific areas in your classroom soon and when we do I think you'll find these free printables to be handy.
measure your available space {freebie} and inventory what you were keeping {freebie}
- Take a look at what you already are using for storage and invite trusted friends to give you their honest thoughts about it. Ask yourself...
...Is it easy to access things when you need them?
...Is everything labeled?
...Can other people find things easily in your room?
...Does your choice of storage make it easy to hide clutter (I'm looking at you big rubbermaid bins that are not transparent)?
...Does your storage cause visual clutter and distraction for your students?
Throughout this week I'll be posting daily ideas for DIY Storage. The ideas are simple, cheap/free and will really allow you to customize your space and create a look that is coordinated.
- Evaluate if your storage is too "out in the open" and brainstorm ways to hide it. Cover open shelving with curtains (or something more purposeful like anchor charts). Place a tablecloth (or just a large piece of fabric) over a table and store seasonal items underneath).
- Seek out storage that does double-duty. Think about seating that has storage inside, shelving that can also be used to display a pocket chart for a center.
- CHECK OUT these links to previous blog posts I've written about classroom storage solutions.
- Spraypaint is your best friend. Use it to transform your current containers or to upcycle things like boxes, yogurt containers, etc into great (free) storage containers. I HIGHLY suggest black. First of all black is slimming and who doesn't want to look and feel slim? Secondly, it matches EVERYTHING. If you change your classroom theme or color scheme it will still look fantastic. Furthermore, black looks sleek and professional and fancy. Be sure to buy the kind that is made for plastic.
- Invest in a pad of scrapbook paper that makes you smile. If you don't already have a theme/color scheme then I once again urge you to use a patterns of black/white/grey. You'll be able to easily change things out. I love me some black damask.
- ModgePodge! Get to know and love it.
- Be sure that you have measured and inventoried prior to beginning.
- Keep an ongoing list of your storage needs and possible containers.
- Ask friends, coworkers, neighbors, and parents for donations of SPECIFIC containers. Did you notice that was bold and in all caps? That, my friends, is because if you just say "containers" you will become the town's new recycling center.
- Don't buy containers unless you have a specific need for them. This is an area in which I need to "practice what I preach." I am always tempted to buy containers. I've gotten much better at seeking out freebies instead.
- "Play the teacher card." It is so easy to score freebies by explaining that you are a teacher.
- Think both "about the box" and "outside the box." Boxes are great and a super easy container to start with. Remember, the goal is to create a uniform look so look for containers that you can acquire in bulk that will be the same size/shape.
- Look for items specific to your needs in terms of space and shape.
- Think about items that come with covers (yogurt containers, deli containers, etc.
On Friday, I'll put up the Linky Party related to the Clutter-Free Classroom PROJECT. The Linky will be ongoing and you can always jump in and link up at anytime. If you don't have a blog you can respond to the prompt in the comment section on Friday's post. Below is this week's prompt. Keep these questions in mind as you take your pictures:

Keratinocyte Biology and Diseases Program
Reviewed July 7, 2016
Research Areas
Skin functions as a barrier between us and the outside world, with the keratinocytes of the epidermis forming the outermost barrier. This program focuses on the biology and diseases of the epidermis and skin appendages (hair follicles and sebaceous glands), and includes (but is not limited to) the following areas of skin biology and disease. The development of the epidermis and appendages; the regulation of the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes; the role of epigenetics and noncoding RNAs; and the formation and function of the epidermal barrier are included. Stem cells reside both within the epidermis and the hair follicle and play important roles in epidermal homeostasis, hair follicle cycling and wound healing. Research includes stem cell self-renewal, fate and lineage commitment, as well as therapeutic applications of skin stem cells. Many structural proteins such as the keratins, components of cell adhesion and communications complexes (e.g., desmosomes and hemidesmosomes) and components of the cornified envelope (e.g., loricrin and filaggrin) play important roles in maintaining the structural integrity of the epidermis and in barrier formation. Mutations in regulatory and structural proteins are responsible for a number of genetic skin diseases, including the ectodermal dysplasias, ichthyoses, alopecias, and epidermolysis bullosa. Areas of active research for genetic skin diseases include identification of genes and mutations, pathogenesis of the disease and development of novel therapies. Another area of research is wound healing, with a focus on the regulation of keratinocyte proliferation and migration/motility and the development of improved artificial skin. Skin cancer is an area of overlap with NCI, with the NIAMS focus on the response of keratinocytes to UV light and early stages in the development of non-melanoma skin cancer.

Logan • The United States Navy thinks spiders' webs may hold the secret to anchoring objects under wet conditions and has funded two years of research at Utah State University to seek the answer.
"There are a number of spiders that live near streams and in rainforests and in areas that get very wet," said Randy Lewis, who heads spider silk research at the university. "The adhesive webs seem to be relatively unaffected by water."
Navy officials want to know if the adhesive variety of spider silk, which arachnids use to anchor their webs, could be manufactured and used effectively as an underwater adhesive. The type of silk is known as piriform, tiny fibers of attachment cement spiders use to safely anchor their draglines and to glue joints of a web together.
"Piriform has chemical and physical properties that enable it to attach to virtually any surface, even when wet, yet it's less than a micron in diameter," Lewis said.
Little is known about piriform's mechanical properties, Lewis said.
"The Navy envisions a kind of super, one-sided Velcro-type fastener that would attach to surfaces underwater," he said. "Spiders successfully attach webs to rocks, trees and other surfaces right next to water in very humid environments. We're trying to see if we can produce this material synthetically, test its adhesive properties and duplicate its function."
Lewis' work involves reproducing silks using a variety of different systems that include bacteria, alfalfa and silkworms. He may be best known for his research with genetically modified "spider goats," which produce a substance in their milk that can be extracted to manufacture web fibers.
"Spider silk has properties unmatched by any man-made material," Lewis said. "We're trying to reproduce nature's ancient biomaterial."
Most of Lewis' other research focuses on a type of web spiders use when strength is the main goal. The USU lab hopes to improve the efficiency of synthetic spider silk production for such future biomedical applications as synthetic ligaments, tendons, skin, bone and as ultra-fine sutures for delicate surgeries, such as facial reconstruction.
The Office of Naval Research grant is about $173,000. A recent National Science Foundation Partnerships in Innovation Award was about $596,000 and allows Lewis to work with several commercial companies. A recent NSF grant for collaborative research with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was about $381,000. In total, the new funding is $1.15 million.
With the newest funding, the Lewis Lab, part of USU's Synthetic Biomanufacturing Institute, will support more than 25 graduate and undergraduate students, as well as four postdoctoral scientists, in research endeavors.
"This project will involve almost exclusively graduate and undergraduate students," Lewis said. "It will be student-conducted and student-driven research."
Lewis said that, basically, tests will involve manufacturing piriform disks and tapes to press against other surfaces. The amount of force required to pull the objects apart will be measured and will reveal the piriform's strength and characteristics as a fastening agent.
"From our perspective, we're happy to see the Navy's support, especially with sequestration, with the rate of funding for new grants very low," Lewis said. "It's a vote of confidence for our ideas that the Navy thinks this may turn out to be something very useful."

Uruguay's only real metropolis has its share of glitzy shopping avenues and modern office buildings. But few visitors come here specifically in search of urban pleasures. This city of 1½ million doesn't have the whirlwind vibe of Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires, but it's a fine old city with sumptuous, if worn, colonial architecture, and a massive coastal promenade that—as it passes fine beaches, restaurants, and numerous parks—recalls the sunny sophistications of the Mediterranean. In fact, if you've been to Buenos Aires, Montevideo may strike you as a smaller, more manageable, less expensive incarnation of Argentina's capital.
Built along the eastern bank of the Río de la Plata (River of Silver), Montevideo takes full advantage of its location. When the weather's good, La Rambla, a 22-km (14-mi) waterfront avenue that links the Old City with the eastern suburbs and changes names about a dozen times, gets packed with fishermen, ice-cream vendors, and joggers. Around sunset, volleyball and football games wind down as couples begin to appear for evening strolls. Polls consistently rate Montevideo as having the highest quality of life of any city in Latin America. After one visit here, especially on a lovely summer evening, you just might agree.

When he was asked about the game, Devon Sandoval paused for a second.
"I guess this is our second team," the Real Salt Lake forward said. "If you want to call it that."
With the U.S. Open Cup final and a chance to reach the international CONCACAF Champions League just a few days way, RSL coach Jason Kries rolled out a starting lineup devoid of the team's usual stars.
Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman had stayed home, in favor of Jeff Attinella and Yordany Alvarez.
Chris Wingert, Ned Grabavoy and Joao Plata were left to come off the bench.
In all, Kreis made 10 changes to his starting lineup from a week ago, hoping to give his usuals some extra rest.
It hardly made a difference.
As right back Lovel Palmer streaked down the right side of the field with the ball at his feet, Sandoval made a near-post run and waited for his teammate's cross. The rookie striker used his head for a textbook finish to give RSL a 1-0 lead and, eventually, critical points as the team pushes toward the MLS playoffs.
"We're dangerous still," Sandoval said of the RSL lineup, the same one that Kreis started during Tuesday's reserve game against Chivas USA. "We were confident going into the game that we could get three points."
Kreis said he was conflicted about how to approach Saturday's matchup.
On one hand, the coach worried about saving his starters for Tuesday, a game he conceded was more important to his team's future. On the other, Kreis said he did not believe his team would make the playoffs if it didn't put together positive results in its last four games.
"Our playoff lives aren't secure," Kreis said this week. "I don't feel like if we sit where we're at right now, we're going to make the playoffs. We need points and we need them in the worst way."
The coach gambled and got his way.
After two straight losses, Salt Lake finally put together a winning performance. RSL now has 51 points, becoming the first MLS team in the post-shootout era to reach 50 points and 15 wins in four straight seasons.
Salt Lake's lineup had combined for only 99 starts this season 20 of them coming from midfielder Luis Gil, who found himself playing at the top of the diamond midfield instead of his usual place on the side.
RSL looked comfortable at BC Place, combining passes and attacking the Whitecaps without giving up many opportunities on the other end. Attinella had just one save on the night, but looked confident as he cleared away crosses throughout the match.
"I thought we played really well," he said. "We got the early goal, which was huge for us. We got out to a fast start. To hold that lead, on the road, on a turf field against a team that loves to push numbers forward, couldn't be happier."
R There are 10 changes to the lineup from a week ago, and Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman don't play.
• Lovel Palmer scores in the ninth minute off a cross from Devon Sandoval.

GM Wentzville Plant to Build New CNG Vans for AT&T
Order shows AT&T's "continued commitment to alternative fuels and to investing right here in Missouri," says AT&T Missouri President John Sondag
St. Louis, Missouri, February 01, 2012
Fresh on the heels of the announcement that is has deployed its 5,000th alternative fuel vehicle, AT&T* announced today that it plans to take delivery of 1,200 Chevrolet Express dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG) cargo vans to be deployed to AT&T service centers nationwide. It is the largest-ever order of GM CNG vehicles.
"St. Louis is home to AT&T's Fleet Operations and we have more than 200 alternative fuel vehicles in the state," said AT&T Missouri President John Sondag. "This order shows AT&T's continued commitment to alternative fuels and to investing right here in Missouri."
AT&T, which has announced its intention to invest up to $565 million to deploy approximately 15,000 alternative fuel vehicles over a 10-year period through 2018, will use the vans to provide and maintain communications, high-speed Internet and television services for AT&T customers. Last week, the company announced the milestone deployment of its 5,000th alternative-fuel vehicle, a Chevrolet Express van, as part of the commitment.
"CNG technology is important to AT&T because it helps us reduce our fleet-based carbon emissions," said Jerome Webber, AT&T vice president of Fleet Operations. "It is also cost-effective and readily available in our country right now."
According to the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, CNG-powered vans can produce approximately 25 percent fewer carbon dioxide emissions than similar gasoline and diesel-powered vans, which supports AT&T's corporate commitment to minimize its impact on the environment.
In 2010, AT&T and other large U.S. fleet operators joined in the Department of Energy's Clean Cities' National Clean Fleets Partnership as part of a national challenge launched by President Obama to cut America's petroleum imports by one-third by 2025. Through 2013, AT&T anticipates it will have purchased up to 8,000 CNG vehicles at an estimated cost of $350 million. Additionally, over the life of the commitment, AT&T expects to invest $215 million to replace approximately 7,100 fleet passenger cars with alternative-fuel models.
According to a 2009 Center for Automotive Research report, AT&T's planned alternative-fuel vehicle initiative would:
- Save 49 million gallons of gasoline over the 10-year deployment period
- Reduce carbon emissions by 211,000 metric tons – the greenhouse gas equivalent of removing 38,600 passenger vehicles from the road for one year
More Sustainable Service Garages
Beyond the AFV deployments, AT&T is turning to its service garages to help minimize its environmental footprint and cut operating costs within its overall fleet. These programs include:
- Redirecting an estimated 60,000 old tires annually through a new recycling program that turns old rubber into fuel and consumer products
- Recycling all primary garage products, including 180,000 pounds of oil filters; 200,000 gallons of oil; and 23,000 gallons of antifreeze annually
- Eliminating the purchase of 9,000 pounds of lead annually that were being used to balance new fleet vehicle tires at high speeds

|Home > Tutorials > Bootstrap > Hello World
When you submit a HTML form to the framework, the input is not sent to another server page, but to a Java class that you provide. These classes are called Actions. After the Action fires, a Result selects a resource to render the response. The resource is generally a server page, but it can also be a PDF file, an Excel spreadsheet, or a Java applet window.
Suppose you want to create a simple "Hello World" example that displays a welcome message. After setting up an empty "tutorial" web application (see Ready, Set, Go!), to create a "Hello World" example, you need to do three things:
By creating these components, we are separating the workflow into three well-known concerns: the View, the Model, and the Controller. Separating concerns makes it easier to manage applications as they become more complex.
First, we need a server page to present the message.
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>   <title>Hello World!</title>
<s:property value="message" />

Second, we need an Action class to create the message.
package tutorial; import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport; public class HelloWorld extends ActionSupport { public static final String MESSAGE = "Struts is up and running ..."; public String execute() throws Exception { setMessage(MESSAGE); return SUCCESS; } private String message; public void setMessage(String message){ this.message = message; } public String getMessage() { return message; } }
Third, we need a mapping to tie it all together.
Edit the
struts.xml file to add the
HelloWorld mapping.
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd"> <struts> <package name="tutorial" extends="struts-default"> <action name="HelloWorld" class="tutorial.HelloWorld"> <result>/HelloWorld.jsp</result> </action>  </package> </struts>
Go ahead and try it now! Deploy the application and open http://localhost:8080/tutorial/HelloWorld.action and see what happens! You should see a page with the title "Hello World!" and the message "Struts is up and running!".
Don't forget
Compile your Action to
WEB-INF/classes and restart your container if necessary. If you are using maven, you can just run:
> mvn jetty:run
Your browser sends to the web server a request for the URL http://localhost:8080/tutorial/HelloWorld.action.
HelloWorld.action. According to the settings loaded from the web.xml, the container finds that all requests are being routed to
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher, including the
*.action requests. The FilterDispatcher is the entry point into the framework.
execute method.
execute method sets the message and returns
SUCCESS. The framework checks the action mapping to see what page to load if
SUCCESS is returned. The framework tells the container to render as the response to the request, the resource
HelloWorld.jsp is being processed, the
<s:property value="message" /> tag calls the getter
getMessage of the
HelloWorld Action, and the tag merges into the response the value of the message.
For detailed information on Struts 2 architecture see Big Picture.
Testing an Action is easy. Here's a test for our Hello World Action.
package tutorial; import junit.framework.TestCase; import com.opensymphony.xwork2.Action; import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport; public class HelloWorldTest extends TestCase { public void testHelloWorld() throws Exception { HelloWorld hello_world = new HelloWorld(); String result = hello_world.execute(); assertTrue("Expected a success result!", ActionSupport.SUCCESS.equals(result)); assertTrue("Expected the default message!", HelloWorld.MESSAGE.equals(hello_world.getMessage())); } }
The framework uses Actions to process HTML forms and other requests. The
Action class returns a result-name such as
ERROR, or
INPUT. Based on the mappings loaded from the
struts.xml, a given result-name may select a page (as in this example), another action, or some other web resource (image, PDF).
When a server page is rendered, most often it will include dynamic data provided by the Action. To make it easy to display dynamic data, the framework provides a set of tags that can be used along with HTML markup to create a server page.
Onward to Using Tags
Return to Ready, Set, Go!

A letter has been sent from the Coalition to the Hill in response to the tax reform drafts released last fall by Finance Chairman Max Baucus and the ongoing push for reform by the Ways and Means Committee. The letter was sent to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of both tax-writing committees with copies to all Members of the House and Senate.
It is unclear at this point how much momentum exists for comprehensive tax reform, especially with the December announcement that Finance Chairman Baucus will be leaving the Senate soon to become U.S. Ambassador to China.

It ought to make you try, to know you are the only thing I have.
They were out to try a new experience, and one that appealed to every boy in the bunch.

so...a tv, with 3G...or did I just read that wrong..
And in the states, they'd be partnered with what AT&T ? Verizon ? with their 2Gb "punishment caps" ?
How exactly will this work ?
In the states it would probably be TimeWarner,AT&T & Comcast?
and... why wouldn't I go out & buy a $1500 42" HDTV when I have larger plasma's and Apple TV2's on them? I use Apple hardware in my daily computing needs because it works so well, but when it comes to TV's, they all do the job well.
"They're not closed to doing it with one [company] or doing it with two," said one source. "They're looking for a partner. They're looking for someone with wireless and broadband capabilities."
I call BS on this story, this cut out the worlds largest market the US if they paired with Rogers or someone in Canada as a partner. This isnt the cell phone game where they had no ground to stand in 2007 and needed a partner to get of the ground. Apple has a immense amount of capitol to put up this time. An exclusivity deal or partnership would only dampen the potential of what they could achieve in the TV market. Besides broadband tv companies don't subsidies tvs like cell providers do with cell phones.
LMAO 3G in a tv.. are you serious? Rogers can't even handle all the iphones they have now.. im stuck with a shared family plan 1gb each.. and almost everything unlimited for $130-$140 a month. please share with me how you expect them to put 3G into it? then tell me how rogers charges $36/monthly for 3mbps DL, 256kbps UL, with a cap of 15gb for home internet... now tell me that is reasonable. 15gb is enough for me to watch 2 netflix movies and 1 HD chat session on skype. Pathetic. Thank you TekSavvy where i pay only 38/months 14mbps DL, 1mbps UL, and 300gb cap and after 12am to 6am is unlimited data because no one really uses the internet in the middle of the night so it don't count towards your bill. This is why i laugh a rogers and bell.
I must have missread.. but clearly you must have too since where did i mention apple will exculde the usa? and where did u go off with the broadband stuff? are you even canadian? do you even have rogers? do you know the difference between rogers wireless and rogers?
I think you missed my point completely.... FACT, The US is the largest most equitable market in the world right now. So no Apple a American company won't test outside of the states first. Another thing why do you think Canada gets everything after the US especially cell phones? An why do you think the iphone is limited on what it can do in Canada? Heres another one of those FACTS for you. It is because the Canadian version of the FCC called CRTC Canadian Radio and Television Commission, are very very hard to deal with compared to the US 's FCC. Those simple reasons right there tell me it's BS. An further notice, you living a 100 miles from Canada gives you no extra credibility...lol I live about 100 miles from the border as well. An frequent Montreal quite the bit. Doesn't mean I know anything special. What I do know is from my experience with FCC regulations and the market impacts that it has here, and in Canada. So please next time have some substantial facts before trying to discredit my argument with logic that you have Canadian friends and go there, ridiculous.
"According to the Globe and Mail Canada's largest telecom providers Rogers Communications and Bell Canada Enterprises are vying for their share of Apple's upcoming HDTV.
Oh, and they reportedly have prototypes in their labs for testing. Jealous? I am."
See where it says they are testing in Canada? Also, the relates I made to Canada was also not made to you, a different poster asked me if I lived in Canada.
I didn't know you were a professional adviser on the Canadian CRTC... when you are testing one yourself come on back with all your facts Captain.

Cope's Review On "Muppets Most Wanted"
The Muppets Most Wanted stars Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais and Ty Burrell (Modern Family).It's a great movie all around for both kids and adults! The story takes you all over the world as the sinister character of Ricky Gervais leads the Muppets to all different countries to perform their "sold out" show in his attempt to find the puzzle which will lead to the key so they can steal the Crown Jewels. The character of Ricky Gervais and the evil (Kermit double with black mole) his partner in crime, disguised as Kermit, set up the real Kermit and get him tossed in "The Gulag" in Russia. With the green one out of the way, they can play out their evil scheme. Kermit befriends his jail mates in Russia, while the fake evil Kermit woos Miss Piggy The jail mates, who Kermit befriends, and his old buddies (who finally realize that the evil Kermit is a fake) help him escape and inevitably save the Muppets and Miss Piggy from marrying the fake and stealing the crown jewels.
Tina Fey was once again spot on in her comedic portrayal of the tough and love sick Russian "Gulag" warden. Ricky Gervais, of course, plays evil the way it should be played, deliciously. Ty Burrell and his comedic timing is superb as the detective. Several cameos like Celene Dion, Lady Gaga, Ray Liotta, Zack Galifianakis, Salma Hayek and Frank Langella. It is a funny and entertaining movie to kick off the Spring!

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Ann and I were welcomed by Muryel and Serge and given great advice about local trips and restaurants. The room was very stylish and the breakfast was delicious!
You really need a car if you are going to stay at this hotel.
The owners of this small hotel are fabulous nothing is too much trouble.Wonderful place to base yourselves in this region, but need a car to get around as limited tours after summer.
Domaine De Marseillens was stunning and Serge and Muryel welcomed us into their home as friends and not as paying guests. Our room was comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated in keeping with the building which was an old winery . Breakfast was a work of art with fresh produce every morning and the table decorations changed on a daily basis. We all sat at the one long table and conversation with other guests from other countries was very interesting! The property is quite a bit out of Carcassone and you need to take a taxi into the city at 14-20 euros each time. The bus runs only at school times.
When I asked the owner to book a taxi to Le Cite he drove us there himself. Very friendly and helpful.
We wanted a decent hotel near Carcassonne, hopefully with a little style and comfort, and Demeure St Louis far exceeded expectations. The owner has an amazing eye for art and design and every detail has been carefully chosen. The breakfast was delicious and homemade. The proprietor did not speak much English but is very charming and managed to help us find a good restaurant and feel very at home during our stay.
everything is good nothing
My host was charming and offered generous personal service. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated (a story of renovation) and it was easy walking distance to La Cite. The lovely garden was a pleasure to relax in with a drink and private. Private parking a great asset also.
The building was formerly a residence of a bourgeois family. The rooms are decorated beautifully with excellent taste. Although the building is old, bathrooms are renovated and modern. This is a perfect place if you like the classical taste. I also loved this hotel for having good location, private parking, free wifi, friendly and very helpful receptionist. Would love to come back! no elevator
Excellent location with on site secure parking. Very sympathetic high quality renovation of a substantial private house with excellent owner/host providing a high standard of personal service. None whatsoever
We were made very welcome in this beautiful and comfortable hotel. Lovely garden and close to all amenities.
It is a high quality establishment with all equipment and services, new and in perfect condition. The host gave very personalised assistance and we appreciated his advice and attention. This was the best accommodation, of 8, we had in our trip to France. Nothing major. We would have liked a jug or kettle.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very nice facilities. The host was excellent. The location perfect for Carcassone.
We had a wonderful time at Demeure St. Louis. Barnard, the owner is really special and did everything he could to make our visit enjoyable. The room was one of the nicest we had on our three week trip around France.
great location and charming rooms with a view of Carcassonne it's across the street from the jail!
The meals were good. It is very peaceful. If you are not into outdoor pursuits (mainly equestrian), don't go here. You need your own transport as it is several kilometers from a main road.
I loved that it was out in the country. The owners seemed to take a real pride in the place and all the rooms were decorated with love and care. The evening meals each night were great: it was amost like staying at a friend's house rather than a hotel. No. I think it is a charming place.
Very nice building, secluded area, nice staff Fittings were very fragile, we were asked not to even use one window curtain. Not an easy walk to town
Very well run hotel, friendly staff. The horses are treated well and are in fine condition. The domaine is located in a marvellous landscape.
The location is beautiful. Worth more than just an overnight stay. Plan on a couple of days to really enjoy the setting!
This is a magnificent place. It is out in the country, away from the cities and highway. The people are great. The other guests are very friendly. The food is the best I have had in France or Spain. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting privacy and a quiet place to stay. We originally planned to stay only 2 days and ended up staying for over a week. We would have stayed longer but we had reservations at a different place already. There were many very gentle horses to ride although we did not do any riding.
Great location -- a couple of kilometres off the public road, amongst vineyards and rolling hills. You can see the stars at night without glare from city or village lights. Good breakfast. No lock on door of suite -- each of the two bedrooms within the suite could be locked, but not the entire suite. We did not want to lock the children in their room and then lock ourselves in our room, which would have made it impossible for the children to get out of their room and to come to us if need be. Front door of hotel was also unlocked (and no one was monitoring it) late at night. Lots of cobwebs and dead insects in the rooms. There is a ping-pong table outside, but we did not see any games room.
An attractive location and beautiful scenery.A warm welcome and pleasant, fresh room. A beautiful terrace for breakfast. Lovely. Our room was not serviced with change of towels or make up of bed.This may be hotel policy.
Hotel was modern in apearance & decor. Room was clean & well equipped. Good walking area. Extemely long drive down narrow road, isolated

Hurricane Isabel's nine-foot storm surge swamped houses in Somerset and Dorchester counties. Once-popular beaches all but washed away, while winds up to 83 mph destroyed nearly a third of the corn crop. The winds also toppled home heating tanks. Over 50,000 gallons of oil spilled, causing much of the wreckage to become flammable. Despite all this, Isabel caused only one fatality in the state of Maryland.

Trenton's Franklin earns 1,000th win
Yankees' Double-A skipper beats rival Sea Dogs for victory
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | April 11, 2012 2:07 PM ET
Franklin picked up his 1,000th career win as a manager behind seven strong innings from Hall and a six-run insurance rally in the eighth as the Double-A Trenton Thunder beat the Portland Sea Dogs, 10-1.
"It's a pretty big deal," Franklin told NJ.com. "I've been at it for a while now, and I have been fortunate to be able to do so. I'm very grateful to have been in the game as long as I have."
Franklin, according to the Trenton Times, claimed he wasn't aware he was approaching the 1,000-win mark until his players tipped him off Tuesday. He told the paper that he would have flown his family in from California had he known.
"It feels good to get it," she said. "Like most of us who get to these milestones, you have to have some pretty good players and some pretty good teams over the years, and it's worked out very well."
Franklin has managed 42 players at Trenton who have later reached the Majors, including current Yankees like Robinson Cano, Brett Gardner, Ivan Nova and Joba Chamberlain. His 1,000 wins include playoff victories, and the Thunder plan to formally celebrate the milestone later this season once Franklin secures 1,000 regular season victories.
"At any level, that's pretty impressive," Trenton's Addison Maruszak told the paper.
Hall shut down the Sea Dogs, the rival affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, holding the lineup to four hits and a run over seven frames. He struck out three.
"This is pretty special, and I'm excited to be a part of it," Hall told the Times. "That was a good win for us, especially coming off a tough loss. We bounced back with a 10:30 a.m. game, which is not the easiest thing in the world to do, but it showed a lot of character and showed what kind of team we've got."
The Thunder lineup was wide awake in the eighth when it scored six runs thanks to run-scoring hits from Jose Gil, Maruszak, Ronnier Mustelier and Dan Brewer. Mustelier's leadoff homer in the fourth, his first of the season, put Trenton up early. After Portland tied it in the fifth, the Thunder took the lead for good on Walter Ibarra's RBI single with two runners in scoring position.
Franklin, 61, began his managerial career in 1982 -- only one player on Trenton's roster, Major League veteran catcher Gustavo Molina (born Feb. 24, 1982), was alive when Franklin started managing.
Drafted by the Reds in 1970, Franklin spent nine seasons in the Minors with Cincinnati, the Chicago Cubs and Montreal Expos before he began coaching in the Orioles' system in 1979. He took over the field staff at Geneva, the Cubs' New York-Penn League affiliate, in 1982, where he managed for four seasons. His career has included stops at Wytheville (1986), Sarasota (1989-90), St. Petersburg (1989), South Bend (1993) and Trenton (2007-present). He served as a Cubs roving instructor in 1988 and as a Minor League infield coordinator with the White Sox (1994) and Padres (1996-2006).
Franklin led the Thunder to the Eastern League crown in '07 and 2008. Last season was among his most tumultuous, though -- he missed six games early in the year after being hospitalized for chest pains and then nearly got into a physical altercation with his hitting coach, Julius Matos, who lost his cool following an ejection on May 31. Matos was fired and Franklin finished the season, which included a mid-summer rehab visit from Derek Jeter.
"This is what I do," Franklin said last season. "This is what I've always done, and I can't see myself doing anything else at this stage of my life. I still enjoy this. I enjoy teaching baseball to young kids and I'd like to think I do it fairly well."

Neville Bryce capped off a record-setting career at Brevard College with a pair of touchdown runs in the fourth quarter and Michael Gist sealed the game with an interception in the end zone as time expired as the Tornados closed out the 2010 season with a victory over host Mars Hill College on Saturday afternoon, 35-28.
Kelvin Jeter led Brevard (4-7, 1-6 SAC) with his seventh 100-yard rushing performance of the season, carrying the ball 12 times for 125 yards and a 58 yard touchdown run in the first quarter, while Bryce took over first place in the BC career rushing record books, breaking John Taylor's marks in career rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, with 27 carries for 90 yards and three scores in the game. Bryce finished up his career with 1,254 career rushing yards at Brevard and recorded nine touchdowns in the final four weeks of the season to overtake Taylor's touchdown record, finishing his career with the Tornados with 16 touchdown carries.
Michael Crumbaker also wrapped up his career as BC's most prolific passer, completing two of six pass attempts for 18 yards, while carrying the ball 13 times for 20 yards and a touchdown. Derek Church and Eric Watts were the recipients of Crumbaker's throws, with each hauling in one pass for nine yards.
As a whole, the Tornados defense was around the ball the entire evening, breaking up eight passes, forcing three fumbles and recovering two, while also intercepting a pair of passes. Prince Simunyu led Brevard defensively with nine tackles in the contest, including a forced fumble, while Salonik Amos and Trey Jenkins had eight tackles apiece. Gist added a fumble recovery to his game-ending interception, while Philip Curcio recorded his first interception as a Tornado in the contest.
Mars Hill (5-6, 3-4 SAC) was led by Jonas Randolph in the game, as the junior running back carried the ball a team-high 20 times for 103 yards, while P.J. Gore led the Lions with seven catches for 72 yards.
Both Lions quarterbacks threw for over 100 yards in the contest as Luis Cruz led the way, completing 16 of 28 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns, while Jon Richt dropped back 16 times, completing eight, for 113 yards and a score. Randolph, Chad Fekany and Patrick Fitzgerald were the recipients of the touchdown scores as nine Lions receivers caught passes in the game.
Josh Baker led the way for the Mars Hill defense, recording a game-high 11 tackles and a half a sack to go with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Rudy Cabral added nine tackles for the Lions who drop their fourth consecutive SAC contest to end the season. Michael Robinson provided early excitement for the Lions in the game, returning a fumble 30 yards for a touchdown and finished up the game with four tackles and a tackle for loss, while Kevin Johnson had six tackles and a forced fumble in the game.
The Tornados received the opening kickoff and a pair of pitches to Jeter gained seven yards, leaving Brevard facing third-and-three on their own 27 yard line. Crumbaker took the snap and found a gap around the left tackle, making it to the 30 yard line, but as he was going down, the ball was punched out by Baker and recovered by Robinson and the sophomore free safety carried the ball into the end zone, giving the home team the 7-0 lead 1:27 into the contest.
Jeter returned the following kickoff out to the 24 yard line as the Tornados began their next drive. Crumbaker carried the ball twice, setting up third-and-four before finding Watts for a nine-yard strike for a first down at the Brevard 39 yard line. Two plays later, on third and seven, Jeter took the inside handoff from Crumbaker and found a seam between the safeties, outracing everyone to the goal line for a 58 yard touchdown run and following Chase Henry's successful extra point attempt, the score was tied at 7-7 with 10:24 left in the first quarter.
The Lions put together back-to-back extended drives deep into Brevard territory, but came away with nothing to show for it as four MHC penalties derailed the first drive, forcing a fourth-and-16 the Lions were unable to convert at the Brevard 30 yard line. The second drive, an 11-play 60-yard drive which took 5:12 off the clock started at the MHC 17 yard line and the Lions moved to the Brevard 26 yard line, but Randolph was hit at the Brevard 23 yard line, fumbling the ball where it was recovered by Gist, ending another scoring opportunity.
Following a Brevard punt, the Lions moved the ball to midfield where they faced a third-and-10 at their own 47 yard line, before a personal foul moved the Lions back to their 32. Following an incomplete pass, the snap for the punt was mishandled and Chris Spencer and Rufus Jenkins were able to track down the MHC punter at the Lions 12 yard line, giving the Tornados great field position.
Brevard capitalized on the very next place as Bryce took the handoff up the middle, rumbling 12 yards for the score to put the Tornados up 14-7 with 4:38 remaining in the first half.
The score would remain the same as the teams headed into the locker rooms for halftime.
Mars Hill turned the ball over on their first two possessions of the second half. Richt was intercepted by Curcio at the Brevard 17 yard line to end the first possession, but the Lions defense forced a three-and-out, preventing any damage. The first play after the punt, Randolph put the ball on the ground for the second time in the contest and it was again recovered by the Tornados at the Mars Hill 38 yard line. 10 plays later, Crumbaker found a gap off the right tackle and plunged in from one yard out to put the score at 21-7 in favor of the Tornados with 6:28 left in the third quarter.
The Tornados turned to Bryce on their next possession as the fullback carried the ball five times, picking up a first down along the way. On the fifth consecutive carry, Johnson came through the line and knocked the ball loose where it was recovered by Baker. The Lions capitalized on the turnover, putting points on the board 10 plays later as they marched down the field, using a combination of Randolph runs and Richt passes before Richt found Fekany in the middle of the end zone 17 yards out to cut the Brevard lead down to 21-14.
After a touchback on the kickoff, Jeter took a pitch to the right on the first play of the drive and turned the corner, carrying the ball 34 yards into Mars Hill territory before being tackled at the 46 yard line by Ray Ray McElrathbey. After eight rushing plays as the Tornados moved the ball down to the Mars Hill 15 yard line, Crumbaker found Church out in the left flat on third-and-seven, and the senior fullback gained nine yards on the completion to keep the chains moving. Bryce carried the ball in two plays later from three yards out to expand the Brevard lead back to 28-14.
The Lions found the end zone again on their next possession, helped in part due to a pass/run combination on third-and-10 at the Brevard 48 yard line. A pair of incomplete passes put the Lions into the third-and-10, and Cruz's pass to Travis Prince was stopped short of the first down line. As the Tornados defenders pushed Prince back to the original line of scrimmage, the redshirt senior astutely handed the ball off to Randolph, and he carried the ball down to the Brevard 24 yard line for the first down and following a personal foul, the ball was finally spotted at the BC 12 yard line. Three plays later Cruz found Fitzgerald from five yards out, cutting the score to 28-21 with 6:12 left on the clock.
Four timeouts, three by Mars Hill, were called on the next Brevard possession before the Tornados were forced to punt, as Watts' attempt was downed at the Mars Hill 11 yard line.
A holding penalty on the second play from scrimmage moved the Lions back to their own eight-yard line and BC's Christian Lumbu came through the line and dropped Cruz for a sack to set up the Lions with third-and-18 from their three yard line. Cruz's passes attempts to Waters on third down and Prince on fourth down fell incomplete, giving Brevard possession at the Mars Hill three-yard line and Bryce converted on the first play from scrimmage, carrying the ball into the end zone to put the Tornados up 35-21 with 3:35 left in the ball game.
The Lions took to the air in their next possession, with the final two catches going to Randolph as the junior finished the drive with a 17-yard pitch-and-catch to cross the goal line to cut the lead to 35-28 with 2:07 left in the contest.
The Tornados took over possession on the Mars Hill 39 yard line as Nerman Imsirovic's onside kick attempt failed to go 10 yards, needing only to run out the clock to clinch their first conference victory of the season, but mental mistakes stalled the drive as the Tornados were called for an illegal formation on third down, followed by a delay of game penalty. On fourth down, need to run out seven seconds, Crumbaker took the snap and ran backwards, trying to run out the clock, but he was chased down and tackled by Johnson and Baker at the Brevard 40 yard line with 1.4 seconds left on the clock.
On the final play of the contest, Cruz threw the ball into the front left corner of the end zone and the ball was batted around several times before settling into the arms of Gist as the Tornados escaped Mars Hill with the 35-28 victory.
