Crabs' Floro goes the distance again
Rays prospect stellar in second Florida State League outing
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | August 18, 2013 6:35 PM ET
Dylan Floro's two-seam fastball is keeping Charlotte third baseman Jonathan Quinonez busy.
Floro relied on the pitch to induce 10 groundouts -- six of which went to Quinonez -- and was credited with a six-inning shutout in his second Florida State League start on Sunday as the Stone Crabs posted a rain-shortened 2-0 victory over Palm Beach.
The Rays prospect struck out three and did not walk a batter in his first Minor League shutout as he improved to 2-0 since a promotion from Class A Bowling Green.
Floro was a Midwest League midseason All-Star with the Hot Rods, going 9-2 with a 1.81 ERA in 19 starts. He struck out 85 and walked 19 while allowing four homers over 109 1/3 innings.
Most notably, the 2012 13th-round Draft pick compiled a 2.83 groundout-to-flyout ratio, a credit to the two-seamer that he likes to run inside against right-handed hitters.
"I think I pitch to contact," he said. "I throw it in there and hope to get some movement on the ball, get a quick out."
Floro made his FSL debut on Aug. 13 at Jupiter and responded with a nine-inning, complete-game victory. He limited the Hammerheads to a run on eight hits, fanning five without issuing a walk and inducing 11 groundouts.
On Sunday, he continued to keep the ball down, giving Quinonez plenty of work early. The first four Cardinals grounded to third, with Quinonez picking up two more assists in the third inning.
Floro faced the minimum over three innings, getting a little help from catcher Jake DePew. After Nick Longmire singled with two outs in the second, he was caught stealing.
The 22-year-old right-hander retired the side in the third on three ground balls, then worked around Alex Mejia's single in the fourth by striking out David Popkins and Jonathan Rodriguez. He was perfect through the fifth and sixth before the game was halted.
Floro threw 67 pitches and said he would have returned to the mound for at least one more inning had the rain not intervened.
"I threw a lot of strikes, got ahead a lot with my two-seam fastball and worked it inside," he said. "I got a lot of ground balls and my infield was making plays tonight."
The outing continued a stellar full-season debut. The Cal State-Fullerton product signed last summer after Tampa Bay drafted him for the second time in four years. As a teenager, he was taken by the Rays in the 20th round of the 2009 Draft but passed to pitch in college. Despite going 10-4 with a 2.83 ERA in his final season with the Titans, he was taken in the 13th round last year.
Assigned to short-season Hudson Valley after signing for a reported $100,000, Floro compiled a 2.40 ERA and 21 strikeouts over 30 innings in 18 relief appearances. He followed that with his strong performance at Bowling Green and said that although he hasn't changed much in his approach since college, he thinks he's made strikes learning how to handle the grind of pitching in a professional rotation.
"Being my first full season, it's been fun," Floro said. "The main thing has just been staying healthy. Going out there, it's different from college because now I'm in a five-man rotation and have to be ready every five or six days when called on. You have to be prepared for that."
The Stone Crabs scored both runs in the fifth as Quinonez doubled with two outs, moved up on a wild pitch and came home on an error by second baseman Jacob Wilson. Rehabbing Rays outfielder Desmond Jennings stole second and scored on a base hit by Drew Vettleson.

Securing roof loads
Roof racks are great for moving lightweight cargo around town. Just secure the stuff to your roof rack and you're good to go. But if you're moving large, flat items like plywood or mattresses, you have to tie the load to the vehicle as well as the rack. A friend tied a mattress to his roof rack and took off for his cabin. As soon as he hit 40 mph, he heard "pop, pop, pop." The "air lift" had ripped the rack mounting bolts right out of the roof (see photo). The body shop repairs cost more than the value of the mattress (and way more than a set of tie-down straps). You've been warned.

Carry On, Mr. Bowditch
Reading Level: Grades 4 and up
Our story begins in 1775. Nat Bowditch, a small boy for his age, loves arithmetic more than anything because the answers always come out the same. His eldest brother has just signed on with a ship leaving for the open ocean and Nat's father, deciding that his son needs to begin a trade, has pulled Nat out of school.
Nat is apprenticed to a ship chandlery as their bookkeeper for nine years, squashing all dreams he had of studying at Harvard University. But, Nat remembers his brother's parting words to him – boys don't blubber - and keeps his head held high. Nat grows up quickly; his raw determination to learn coupled with the difficulties of Revolutionary life made him seem mature far beyond his young years.
Carry On, Mr. Bowditch is an ultimate nautical adventure story, sharing the tale of a young boy, who never thought his dreams could ever be reached, becoming a widely educated man – despite never continuing school past the age of ten. Written in 1956 by Jean Lee Latham, Carry On, Mr. Bowditch is a must-read for all adventurous young boys.

WTN 1995 Guigal La Doriane Condreiu Northern Rhone France. Bertelli; $30. The fruit comes from Chatillon and from Colombier, sites that Guigal says contribute aromas and structure, respectively. Aged in all new barriques.
Bright, pale gold color. Very good aromas of peaches, pears, licorice and a bit of earth; strong peach flavor, bit of dustiness, good acidity; light mouth feel; long finish with lots of peach notes. Quite pleasant and a really good match with sauteed scallops and steamed peas -- the combination seemed almost perfect to both Janet and me. 3*+
I'm not sure this will ever be a favorite white wine, but it sure worked well with this dish. I'm also amazed at how prices have increased since 1998 when I purchased this bottle as an experiment, a forgotten experiment until Jenise sent me back to my inventory. From what I've read, this wine would have been better drunk five or six years ago.

It is nearly two years behind schedule because the contractor was forced to fix a variety of quality problems, but the $172 million expansion of State Road 92, the Timpanogos Highway, in northern Utah County now is near completion and officials say the road's benefits are impressive, despite the wait.
Studies show the highway has vastly sped up travel times and reduced accidents between Interstate 15 in Lehi and Highland, even as traffic grew and had to dodge continuing work to repair problems. They say improvements also helped attract more than 100 new businesses to the stretch and 4,000 new jobs.
"It's pretty incredible," says Bryan Adams, who was the director of the project for the Utah Department of Transportation.
But the delays have also been frustrating.
"We're behind by approximately two years of when we anticipated to have this project completed" in October 2011, Adams said. It dragged because UDOT forced the contractor, Flatiron/Harper Joint Venture, to fix numerous items that did not pass inspections, from cracking concrete pavement to drainage systems to barriers.
"Through the last two years, we have been charging our contractor liquidated damages for that extra time" beyond deadlines set by contract, Adams said. "To date, that has totaled around $6 million," charged at $15,000 a day.
The only piece remaining for such fixes, he said, is repairing cracks in a wall near the east end of the project's eastbound commuter lane. "We anticipate that the wall will be completed and that section will be opened later this fall," he said.
With that end finally in sight, UDOT prepared statistics on performance of the road so far for the Utah Transportation Commission.
It shows that traffic on the highway has increased by 14 percent since 2007, before construction began in 2009. But travel times have decreased by 63 percent with travel between Lehi and Highland dropping from 19 minutes to seven.
It went from a two-lane road to seven including two first-in-the-state commuter lanes that travel over or under crossroads to avoid traffic signals for 4 miles. Unlike freeway express or car-pool lanes, the commuter lanes are open to all traffic and do not require more than one rider.
UDOT data also say traffic accidents have fallen by 71 percent at interchanges since 2007, and by 25 percent elsewhere on the roadway. Adams said that is in part because of better overall movement and reduced congestion on the roadway, but it also results in large part from adding a "diverging diamond" interchange at Interstate 15.
This design eliminates all left-hand turns. "By doing that alone, you will see a big reduction in accidents," he said. That intersection eliminates left turns by having traffic temporarily crisscross to drive on the left-hand side of the roadway while passing under I-15.
Adams said that UDOT found in checking with Lehi that more than 100 new businesses have sprouted along or near the new project, and others have expanded including at the Traverse Mountain Outlets, Thanksgiving Park, Adobe, Xactware, Micron and IASIS Healthcare.
"One of the main reasons has been from improvements from our roadway," Adams said. "We estimate that's 4,000 new jobs in the area.
"We're very pleased with how it turned out," he added. "Sometimes we lose sight of the benefits of the project" because of frustration over the delays.
Of note, contractor Flatiron was part of a consortium that was paid $13 million by UDOT in 2010, when it contended it was cheated out of a $1.1 billion contract to rebuild I-15 in Utah County.
That project went to another consortium which had made big contributions to Gov. Gary Herbert after UDOT tweaked the original scoring of bid proposals.
Last year, Herbert said the swift, efficient rebuild of I-15 and the delays and problems with SR-92 vindicated the controversial state decisions about awarding the $1.1 billion contract on I-15.

Preventing non-combat injuries is a must!
Non-combat injuries, especially musculoskeletal (MSK) types (i.e., injuries to bones, joints, and muscles), are plaguing the military and causing troops to leave theater early and become non-deployable. These injuries can range from back pain to torn ligaments of the knee and ankle. They are the most common injuries during deployment and during basic training, in addition to being the number one cause of lost duty days in the U.S. military. Not only do injuries cause a reduction in manpower, but they also decrease camaraderie and unit cohesion. Researchers and commanders are looking for solutions to prevent injuries and keep service members healthy and on active duty.
One proposed idea is to use the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), a type of injury risk assessment that uses a grading system to evaluate an individual's movement patterns. The FMS score from the five tests that are used in the screen reflects an individual's muscle strength, flexibility, range of motion, balance, coordination, and proprioception. In one study using professional football players, FMS scores did relate to injury rates during the following season. In another study, athletes who had low FMS scores were assigned to a training program to improve FMS scores and hopefully decrease risk of injury. This same screening and training process is currently being studied to prevent injuries in troops who are training and preparing to deploy. The hope is that, in the future, trained personnel will be able to use targeted musculoskeletal training programs like FMS to allow service men and women to jump, land, and move more efficiently and decrease injury rates.
Another proposed solution the U.S. Army has developed for MSK injury prevention is Musculoskeletal Action Teams (MATs). MATs consist of physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, and athletic trainers who provide Initial Entry Training (IET) to recruits. MATs promote injury prevention and human performance optimization through health assessments, resiliency training, and adaptive interventions. Also, the Army has revamped their Physical Readiness Training (PRT) to focus on functional performance by optimizing strength, mobility, and endurance for sustained activities and to decrease the incidence of MSKs.
Research has also begun to focus on the direct effects of body armor on the individual wearing it. Once it is known how body armor and other equipment affect movement patterns of the body, preventing possible injuries related to wearing body armor will become easier.

Religious guilds are among the fewer roleplaying guilds in World of Warcraft and therfore are easier to be original with. These guilds can seem difficult so these guildlines should make running and rounding easier. You should note though that religion can be a delicate subject for some people and you should be careful what you say.
Choosing a religionEdit
You need to be careful when choosing as changing it may cause many members to leave and possibly complain about you. Don't be too far fetched, for example a Necromantic Paladin. A firm choice is choosing your race's religion or one that people are familiar with, like the holy light.
Holy LightEdit
Perhaps the most common and overplayed religion, the Holy light is the religion of humans. It can be cliched among roleplaying but with a little planning, this can be avoided and you can create a decent, original guild. Your base would generally be the cathedral in stormwind or another religious building as the cathedral has many roleplayers and questers outside who could disrupt you. Priests and Paladins are the most common here as that is their dedication and motivation.
This is more commonly a horde, or specifically troll, based organization. This is usually connected to elementalism. Your base would tend to be Sen'jin village or something similar. You would generally hold rituals and ceremonies rather than prayers and would focus on involved activties over than passive worshipping involved with other religions. Your classes would tend to be Shamans (naturally) or possibly Druids.
Having a stark contrast to arcane with their high risks, druidism is less risky although no less powerful. This tends to focus around nature and usually animals and plants. It can be animal based which is more ritualistic than plant based which is more scholarly and peaceful. Normally this is night elf and tauren though dwarves and trolls can be involved in it. Your base would be Darnassus, Thunder Bluff or somewhere connected with nature, so you should avoid places like Stormwind and Silvermoon.
Almost purely night elf based, the worshippers of Elune are a reclusive religion with almost all night elves practising. Your base would be usually Darnassus or another night elf town and you should avoid industrial areas like Ironforge. At a pinch Elwynn Forest will do although Teldrassil is preferable. This is similar to Druidism although centered around a single deity.
Fel and DemonologyEdit
This is the faith of warlocks and the fel corrupted beings. It is met with mistrust and rejection by others because of their practise. You will possibly be viewed as a taint and something like a disease, unclean and infectious. Your base will probably be a place like the slaughtered lamb or a graveyard although this is more suited to Necromancy as they are similar in practise and powers granted.
Shadow and NecromancyEdit
Very similar to fel, as mentioned above. Necromany and Shadow are dark and twisted arts with evil goals and evil means being the focus. This does not mean you should be extravagent, flamboyant villians who tent their fingers and think up evil plans. You will find yourself in opposition to the Holy Light. Your bases are sewers, basements and graveyard for horde a good place is the undercity sewers. You embody darkness and shadows.
Dragon WorshipEdit
This is difficult to pull of as few have actually heard of or even practice this. It would probably be best to look this up and construct your own ideas rather than rely on this guide. The hard parts are locating a dragon, finding a base and conducting ceremonies.
Other DetailsEdit
This covers tabards, uniforms and locations.
This is up to you but your tabard should be a good insight into your faith. If you are Necromantic then you probably shouldn't choose a cheery yellow tabard. Keep your faith in mind as this can lead to confusion if not done right.
Generally, unless you have a large guild or recruit only those with certain armor abilities, stick to cloth. That way all members can wear the same uniform. Generally if your religion or god has a colour you should stay in keeping with it. For example Elune is described as luminous so you should try and stay luminous as well.
Most roleplaying guilds have a base for their meetings, roleplaying and the like. Using the trade district of Stormwind is a bad idea. Put some effort into choosing a location. The temple of the moon and the cathedral are good locations but may be in use for similar functions. These other roleplayers may accidentaly disrupt you.

McMaster Gallery to display works from renowned artists in Castelli's Cabinet
Original works from the NYC Leo Castelli Gallery, known as the epicenter for pop, minimal and conceptual art, will be on display at the University of South Carolina McMaster Gallery Oct. 10 –Nov. 23.
The exhibition will feature original works by Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Helen Frankenthaler, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Joseph Kosuth, Roy Lichtenstein, Bruce Nauman, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist and Edward Ruscha, all of whom were represented by the renowned New York City Leo Castelli Gallery.
The McMaster Gallery's hours are 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday – Friday. The gallery is closed on weekends and university holidays.
Warhol, famous for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker and printmaker, was the leading figure in the visual pop art movement. His most famous works were paintings of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Campbell's Soup Cans.
Bourgeois, the French-born American artist, gained fame late in her career through emotionally-charged abstract sculptures, drawings and prints. With repeated themes centered on the human body and its need for nurturing, Bourgeois' works influenced young artists, especially women. Among her most familiar sculptures were "Nature Study" and "Fillette."
Frankenthaler, painter, printmaker and sculptor, was one of the artists who launched the second generation of color field painting, a component of abstract expressionism. Her best-known painting is "Mountains and Sea."
Johns, who emerged during the 1950s, is credited with laying the groundwork for pop art and minimalism. With his paintings of maps, flags and targets, Johns led the artistic community away from abstract expressionism. Some of his most famous works include "Flag," "White Flag" and "Target with Plaster Casts."
Kelly was one of the first artists to create irregularly shaped canvases, and his non-conformity to any artistic movement was influential in the development of minimalism, hard-edge painting, color field and pop art. "Black Ripe" and "Red Blue Green" are among his most famous works.
Kosuth is considered the leading supporter and one of the founders of conceptual art. Kosuth has employed various strategies for his work, including photos with common objects, neon tubing and texts sandblasted in stone. Among his most famous works are "One and Three Chairs," "Leaning Glass" and "Art as Idea as Idea."
Lichtenstein, prominent pop artist, used advertising and old-fashioned comic strips for inspiration, producing hard-edged, precise and humorous compositions. "Drowning Girl" and "Whaam!" are among his most famous and recognizable works.
Nauman has worked with a variety of media, including sculpture, video, film, printmaking, performance and installation. Some of his most famous works include "Laair," "Clown Torture" and "Vices and Virtues."
Rauschenberg is most famously known for his "Combines," which used non-traditional materials and objects. Although he is best known as a painter and sculptor, he also worked with photography, printmaking, papermaking and performance. Rauschenberg's works include "Monogram," "Pelican" and "Open Score."
Rosenquist, as a painter of large canvases inspired by popular culture, is known as one of the seminal figures of the pop art movement. "F-111" and "Time Dust" are among his most famous paintings.
Ruscha, an artist associated with the pop art movement, has worked in painting, printmaking, drawing, photography and film. Ruscha's works include "Chocolate Room" and "Vanishing Cream." This exhibition is made possible through the loan of these works from Brenau University Collections.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Plans to implement
a new Master of Arts in Counseling program at Multnomah University
are coming to fruition as the school looks forward to the formation of a pilot
group in fall 2009.
The program will
prepare students to become licensed professional counselors in the state of Oregon, allowing them to
serve in para-church and other professional counseling settings. Dr. Elizabeth
List, Psychology Department chair, has worked to ensure that the program meets
the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapist's
educational requirements. In addition to satisfactory completion of experience
hours and a two-part exam, preparatory classroom education qualifies students
for Oregon
Program Details
The M.A. in
Counseling will be the first Master's level program at Multnomah to follow the
cohort model, similar to that employed by the Bachelor's level Adult Degree
Completion program. Student groups -- or "cohorts" -- will remain
together throughout the entirety of the two-year program. Students will take
one class at a time, one night per week. This model is especially suited to the
conversational learning style of adults, and is convenient for those who have
other responsibilities such as full-time work and family.
The first cohort
will be established in fall 2009. Interested students should check back in the
spring, as the university will have new offerings year-round.
"I came to
Multnomah because I had freedom to build this program on the Bible, not just
give it a nod so we could call it 'Christian,'" said Dr. List. "It's a
biblically integrative, theoretically holistic model of practical counseling."
"For years people
have been encouraging Multnomah to develop a master of arts program in
counseling that builds upon an intensely biblical foundation and successfully
integrates faith and learning," Dr. Wayne Strickland, academic dean and vice
president of Multnomah said. "We are so pleased to offer a program that is
thoroughly biblically-based and yet satisfies all requirements for state
"We believe our MAC
graduates will be well-equipped for ministry in most church or professional
settings," Dr. Strickland said. "In order to provide the best education for the
money, an advanced track is available for students with a Bible, theology, or
similar undergraduate degree."
For more
information, please contact Dr. Elizabeth List at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 503-251-6435.
About Multnomah
University is a fully accredited,
private, non-denominational, Christian institution of higher education, located
in Portland, Oregon. Made up of an undergraduate Bible
college, a biblical seminary, graduate programs, an adult degree completion
program, and an online distance-learning program, Multnomah issues bachelor's
and master's degrees, and professional certifications and endorsements.

Parsons, who preceded Hopper, was florence nightingale compared to her eventual rival.
Punch's tribute to the services of florence nightingale in reorganizing the nursing profession has already been noted.

Yes that is correct, you will have to perform a MITM attack to get the webpages accessed on other computers within the network to show up in a live fashion. You can easily do this with ettercap using the following command:All machines are wireless so I shouldnt need to ARP poison or MitM correct? I cant seem to find an answer on the forums anywhere, the only threads I can find that are similar are people on switched networks where they would need to MitM correct?
Another way of collecting the visited URLs would be to save all the sniffed traffic to a cap file and later replaying this on the lo interface and sniff on this interface using urlsnarf.Code:ettercap -Tq -M ARP // // -i interface
The above process also applies to mailsnarf and msgsnarf.

Not for nothing, but if you can't figure this out from a search, you might want to try another distro. There is no way that BT3 should be your primary OS.
Uh, exactly how many log on names do you need?

Hmm, multiple user accounts is verboten.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

Bottega Veneta Pre-Fall 2012
For a designer who spends most of his time among Florida's swaying palms and candy-colored Art Deco buildings, Tomas Maier has a gift for keeping the beat of the concrete jungle. His pre-fall collection for Bottega Veneta pulsed with urgency and drive. These were clothes that moved: Slim-cut black pants with a super toned-down fitted motorcycle jacket would do the job in pretty much any setting; the gray and blue print of a single-breasted coat evoked traffic patterns; and minimalist, platform booties prompted at least one observer to say with a sigh, "Finally, shoes I can walk in."
And therein lies a truth of Maier's unique talent: He considers every aspect of women's lives, and by doing so, gives them the space to think about things (job, kids, the Eurozone crisis) other than how to stay upright in their shoes. His clothes earn women's trust and offer a sense of security. Throw on a perforated wool dress dusted in gold—its long sleeves, high neck, and knee-length hem make it a go-to no matter where one's going to—with a black belt and a black cross-body bag, and you're out the door. That kind of freedom is almost impossible to quantify.
Of course Maier's other skill is maintaining the artisanal quality on which the house was built without ever veering too far into whimsical, loving-hands-at-home territory. This is primarily evident in the accessories—you have to give the man credit for finding a new way to weave leather four times a year. For pre-fall he's reinvigorated a tote from 1973, simple black leather with gold mesh braided along the edges, and added a sort of spray-paint coating to the signature minaudières. As a whole, this collection feels much more serious than his previous two, but that doesn't mean he's not having any fun.

Brevard, N.C. - Dayshalee Salaman led a Lincoln Memorial second half comeback as the Railsplitters overcame a 21 point performance by Lindsay Brendle as the Tornados fell at home in Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday evening, 76-68.
Brevard (5-10, 0-7 SAC) led by as many as 17 in the first half on Anna Schlobohm's jumper with 10:19 to go, but Salaman scored 18 second half points in leading the Lincoln Memorial (9-6, 4-3 SAC) comeback as the Railsplitters took the lead with 6:56 to play on Ralissa Nelson's jump shot and held on for the win.
Brendle recorded her third 20 point effort in a row, scoring 21 to pace the Brevard offense as the Tornados shot 36.1 percent (26-72) from the floor in the game. Holli Flippo connected on five three-pointers to add 18 points and pulled down six rebounds, while Micheala Watkins and Anna Schlobohm had nine points apiece in the loss. Watkins also led the Brevard defensive effort with seven steals as the Tornados forced 25 Lincoln Memorial turnovers in the loss.
Salaman led all scorers with 27 points, going 12-for-15 from the free throw line, as Lincoln Memorial shot 52.0 percent (26-50) form the floor in the game. MaRanda Boddie added a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds, while Lauren Cochran scored 11 points in the victory.
Brevard scored six of the first eight points and 17 of the first 23 as Brevard built a double-digit lead at 17-6 with 15:44 to play in the first half on Flippo's first three-pointer of the game. Cochran and Salaman answered with back-to-back baskets to cut the lead back to single digits, but another Flippo three-pointer extended the lead to 20-10.
The Tornados built their largest lead of the game, going up 32-15 on a Schlobohm jump shot from the left short corner with 10:19 to play in the half. Lincoln Memorial answered with a 13-2 run capped by a Salaman layup to cut the game back to within two possessions at 34-28 with 4:46 on the clock.
Brevard went on one final run in the half, going up 15 at 45-30 after a Watkins steal and layup, but the Railsplitters closed out the half on a 5-0 run to send the teams into the break with Brevard holding the 45-35 lead.
Lincoln Memorial continued to cut into the lead throughout the second half before Salaman went on an 8-0 run to bring the game back to within one at 54-53 with 11:38 to play in the contest. A Schlobohm jump shot extended the lead to three, but free throws by Kelsey Bradford and Mariah Richardson led to a Nelson jump shot as the Railsplitters took their first lead of the game at 57-56 at the 6:56 mark.
Nelson extended the lead to six on a three-pointer from the left wing at 62-56 at the 4:47 mark, but Flippo answered with a three-pointer and a pair of free throws to cut the lead back to within one with 3:23 left in the contest.
Brevard kept the game within one possession as Watkins hit a pair of free throws and went in for the layup to put the score at 69-68 with 54 ticks on the clock, but Lincoln Memorial went 7-for-8 from the free throw line in the final minutes and three Brevard three-point attempts fell short as the Tornados fell at home to the Railsplitters, 76-68.
Brevard remains at home on Saturday, January 21st, as they host Wingate University. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Bulldogs in Boshamer Gymnasium is set for 2 p.m.

By David Krueger Herald Writer
EVERETT — Edmonds-Woodway's baseball players have played this season with a chip on their shoulders.
Predicted to finish fourth in The Herald's preseason coaches poll, the defending Wesco South 4A champions did what nobody apparently expected them to do.
They won another Wesco South championship.
The Warriors defeated second-place Cascade 1-0 Monday afternoon at Cascade High School to clinch their second consecutive league title.
"Winning the Wesco South is always fun," said Edmonds-Woodway head coach Dan Somoza. "It was one of our goals this year. We were picked to finish fourth at the beginning of the season. They worked hard."
Edmonds-Woodway was able to claim another league title thanks in large part to a triple by Chantz Justice in the fifth inning. With one out, Justice hit a fly ball to right field. The Cascade outfielder made a diving attempt but was unable to make the catch.
The ball rolled behind the Bruins' outfielder and Justice ended up on third with a triple. After Austin Holmes (1-for-1) was hit by a pitch for the second time in the game, Justice scored on an RBI groundout by Joey Reese.
Cascade head coach Scott Stencil said he had no problem with his right fielder laying out to try to make a play on the ball hit by Justice.
"You can't fault the effort," Stencil said. "We want to see them dive for the ball."
Pitcher Tate Budnick made sure the run held up for Edmonds-Woodway. Budnick scattered five Bruins' hits and struck out seven to lead the Warriors to victory on Cascade's senior day.
"Tate Budnick pitched great," Somoza said. "He came out and competed against Cascade, which is a tough, good-hitting team."
Budnick said that there was a little bit more pressure with a league title on the line, but he was eager to help his team claim back-to-back championships.
"(I felt) a little bit of everything," Budnick said. "I was excited being on the mound able to clinch. I was a little nervous, but more excited."
The junior agreed with his coach about his team being somewhat surprised by their projected finish. Budnick, who went 1-for-1 with two walks, said it served as a little extra motivation as the season went along.
"We just didn't agree with it," Budnick said. "At the start of the season, seeing 'fourth place' we were like, 'What? We were league champs last year.'"
Budnick kept the Cascade lineup in check throughout the game. He was in trouble once, in the bottom of the fourth inning. An error helped load the bases with one out. But Budnick got the next two batters to fly out to end the threat.
The only other time Cascade got a runner in scoring position was the fifth, when Austin Pinorini led off with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt. Budnick struck out the next two batters to get out of the inning.
"I figured it'd be close," Stencil said. "A day like this, with the wind blowing in (toward the infield), I knew runs would be at a premium."
Pinorini led Cascade, batting 2-for-3.
Stencil said he isn't worried about his team responding to the loss when the two teams face off in the final game of the regular season today. The Cascade coach said his team will be ready for the Warriors.
And whoever their opponent is in the first round of the district tournament, which starts Saturday.
"We're 0-0 going into Saturday," Stencil said. "They know what they need to get done. We're obviously disappointed we didn't win the league, but you've got to tip your hat to (the Warriors)."
At Cascade H.S.
Tate Budnick and Cody Edwards. KJ Brady and Michael Mazza. WP—Budnick. LP—Brady. 3B—Chantz Justice (EW). Records—Edmonds-Woodway 12-2 league, 15-4 overall. Cascade 10-4, 14-5.

Fired in the forge, its fires burning for an eternity, the hammer rings as it strikes the blade.

This blade is more than a piece of wood and iron; it is a calculating master of its wielder's destiny.
It is made to cut and to stab. It is made to hack and to slash. It is made to serve and protect.
Forever under the weight of the hammer, forever taking a part of the maker's soul into its very essence. In the realm of justice it will swing swift and mercifully, never bending or breaking.
The Myrmidon watches from eye sockets as cold as the northern ice.
He is forever watching. He is forever seeking. He is forever judging.
As the warrior wreaks his vengeance in the screams of evil men and defends hearth and home from all enemies foreign and domestic. His steel made for one purpose and one purpose only, salvation.
The Myrmidon watches.
He approves.

Taylorsville • The rims were lowered after the game, so that the champion Riverton girls' basketball players could each cut a piece of twine as a keepsake.
But by the elation in their faces and euphoria in their voices, the Silverwolves were high enough to cut down the nets without hydraulic assistance.
Riverton won its first basketball title with a 41-37 victory against Layton in Saturday's Class 5A state championship game at Salt Lake Community College, a final score every bit indicative of the slugfest waged between the teams.
The Silverwolves did it with defense. They did it on the boards. They did it with senior leadership. And they did it on the biggest stage.
"This is huge for our school," said senior Gerrika Ballard, who overcame food poisoning Friday night to lead Riverton with 13 points. "This was my senior year, my last game that I get to play with all my friends. I left with no regrets."
Senior forward Whitney Saunders dominated the boards, and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds five on the offensive end despite giving up two inches to Layton center Jaden Anderson. Riverton (22-3) had 17 offensive rebounds in the game, which set up second, third, even fourth chances on key possessions late.
Riverton trailed 29-25 with 3:23 to play in the third quarter, but allowed just two Layton field goals the rest of the way.
"It was intense," said Saunders, who scored nine points. "We couldn't say we can save something for the next game. We had to play out hearts out. I'm so proud of everybody, especially Gerrika. She was throwing up sick."
Maddi Smith scored 13 points and Anderson added 11 for the Lancers (17-8), who twice trailed by as many as seven points.
Outside shots weren't falling, so Riverton pounded the ball inside. Jamie Smith made the team's only 3-pointer for a 34-33 lead with 6:49 to play, but Riverton missed its other seven shots beyond the arc.
Ballard, who finished 6 of 8 from the field, scored on an assist from Shelby Richards with 16.2 seconds left for a 40-37 lead. Layton's chance to tie ended with a Richards steal and free throw for the final margin.
Richards had four assists, three of which came on drives in the paint to draw multiple defenders, then a pass to find the open teammate near the rim.
"That's my favorite play," said Richards, a junior. "I can go to the basket, they think I'm going to attack and I've got my teammate, and they've got my back. I just dump it in and they finish it.
"We knew if we wanted to be state champs we can't give up. We had to keep fighting get those rebounds and get putbacks, box out, get low, hustle on defense, get in their heads. Everything it takes to be state champion."
Riverton 41,Layton 37

"I can't really put a whole lot of pressure on it right now. I'm just waiting for the swelling to go down, and then I'm going to have to see the doctors again."'

Payton, McMahon Shine as Men's Lax Grabs First MAAC Win of 2014
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - Senior Ryan Payton struck for seven goals in upstate New York as the Jaspers defeated the Marist Red Foxes 14-13 for their first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) win of the spring.
Manhattan tallied the final four goals of the first half and first three of the third quarter, swinging a 5-4 deficit into an 11-5 advantage. Payton scored four of his game-high seven goals during the stretch, including three while the Jaspers were a man up. Payton became the first Jasper to score seven goals in a game since James Synowiez recorded that number on April 24, 2010, against the Saint Joseph's Hawks.
Marist would not go down quietly, as the Red Foxes responded with a 6-1 run to bring the game to within a goal with 12:51 remaining in the fourth quarter, but the Jaspers put the game out of reach thanks to Payton's seventh tally of the game and junior Marcel Godino's second. This made the score 14-11 Jaspers, and provided enough support for Manhattan to hold on for a one-goal win.
"It's really starting to come together on the offensive side of things for us; we're maturing as a unit," said Jaspers head coach Steve Manitta. "We took 27 shots and scored 14 goals. Our offense was very patient."
The Manhattan defense was quite strong as well. Senior starting goalkeeper Rich Akapnitis made 12 saves on the afternoon. "Richie, Rich played great today; he was outstanding," Manitta said. Long stick midfielder and senior Sean McMahon went 7-13 on faceoffs and collected a team-high six ground balls.

Senior Brett Madarasz had a four point day, notching a goal and three assists. "Brett was great today; he's one of the headiest lacrosse players I've been around in a long time," Manitta said. Junior Andrew Hurst also had a four point game with two goals and two assists.
"We were 3-3 on extra man opportunities in the second quarter, Marist was 0-5 for the game. Our man down unit was great today; it was a total team effort," Manitta said.
For Marist, Mike Begley led the squad with six points (4G, 2A). J.D. Recor added a goal and three assists. Despite conceding 13 goals, the Jaspers defense did an admirable job at shutting down Marist's high-powered offense.
Manhattan returns to action on Tuesday, April 1, for a home game with the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens. The opening draw is set for 3 p.m. The contest will mark the first Manhattan home game since Sunday, March 9, when they defeated the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers 8-7.

Stubbs beats throw home, Masterson dominant in win
CLEVELAND -- Jason Kipnis' run-scoring fielder's choice in the ninth inning lifted the Cleveland Indians to a 2-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.
With runners on second and third and one out, Kipnis hit a hard ground ball to the right side. First baseman Adam LaRoche made a diving backhanded stop and fired a throw to catcher Kurt Suzuki, but Drew Stubbs slid in with the winning run.
Stubbs' one-out single off Fernando Abad (0-1) started the rally before the Indians executed a perfect hit-and-run play. As Stubbs broke off first, Michael Bourn punched a ground ball through the hole that opened when Steve Lombardozzi went to cover second base. Stubbs advanced to third.
Joe Smith (3-0) retired the side in order in the ninth for the Indians, who have won three straight after losing eight in a row.
Cleveland starter Justin Masterson and Washington's Gio Gonzalez both allowed one run in seven innings, but weren't involved in the decision.
Masterson's bases-loaded wild pitch in the third inning gave the Nationals their run. Gonzalez gave up a two-out homer to Ryan Raburn in the fourth.

Cal notes: Spangenberg seeing clearly
Storm second baseman versatile in lineup, smarter on bases
By George Alfano / Special to MLB.com | May 1, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Lake Elsinore second baseman Cory Spangenberg was playing good baseball during the first half of 2012, batting .291 and showing why he was the 10th player selected in the 2011 Draft. His success was curtailed, however, when he suffered a concussion during batting practice midway through the year. He didn't have much offensive success, or a clear head, for the remainder of the season.
"I sat out for a month and a half, and when I came back I still felt the side effects," said Spangenberg, a left-handed hitter from Clark Summit, Penn., who batted .224 in 32 games after June. "You can't do anything for it except rest. I had a headache every day and my vision was foggy."
The injury was a setback but not a drastic step backward. Spangenberg is still ranked No. 10 among Padres prospects, according to MLB.com, which also ranks him fifth among all Minor League second baseman.
Storm manager Shawn Wooten said Spangenberg is a huge asset for his club because he can do a lot of little things well.
"We batted him in the three-hole last year," said Wooten, who is in his second year as Lake Elsinore's manager. "He's a really good bunter, so he fits well batting second. He can fit in any of the top three spots in the batting order.
"He played third base in college, but he looks like a natural second baseman," Wooten added. "He plays offense and defense well."
Spangenberg, who stole 27 bases last year but was caught nine times, has swiped 13 bags this season and only been thrown out once. Rico Noel, a teammate of Spangenberg during the past two seasons, has helped improve this aspect of Spangenberg's game. Now with the Padres' Double-A affiliate in San Antonio, Noel stole 90 bases last year with the Storm.
"After talking with Rico, I know when to go and when to stop," said Spangenberg. "There are more pickoff attempts this year, so I have to be smarter and get a good jump."
After the rough end to his 2012 campaign with the Storm, he bounced back in eight games in the Arizona Fall League and batting .345 with the Peoria Javelinas. He said his head feels fine this season and there have been no further symptoms from last year's concussion.
In brief
Bradley bulletin: Archie Bradley, MLB.com's second-ranked Arizona prospect, improved his record to 2-0 with a victory over Bakersfield on Friday night. Bradley leads the league with a 1.26 ERA and 43 strikeouts. The seventh player picked in the 2012 Draft, Bradley had a 12-6 record with a 3.84 ERA last year with South Bend in the Midwest League. His strikeout-to-walk ratio is 4.3 to 1 in 2013, an improvement over last year's 1.8 to 1 ratio.
Harris, Giants are mighty: Devin Harris clubbed six homers last week, helping the Giants cap a five-game winning streak Sunday with a 5-3 victory over Modesto. Harris, a 48th-round pick in 2010 from Gastonia, N.C., leads the Cal League with 24 RBIs. San Jose has three starters with ERAs below 2.00. Ty Blach is 3-1 with a 1.54 ERA, Clayton Blackburn is 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA and Chris Marlowe is 1-0 with a 1.71 ERA.
Shackleford keeps hitters in chains: High Desert's Stephen Shackleford has found a niche as a closer. He had two saves during the week for the Mavericks. The Louisville native has allowed just three hits over 11 innings this season, picking up three saves and striking out eight in 10 appearances. Shackleford was released after two seasons with the San Francisco Giants organization but signed with Seattle in 2012. He recorded a 6-2 record with a 1.47 ERA and 11 saves for Clinton in the 2012 Midwest League campaign.
With help from Hanley: Dodgers infielder Hanley Ramirez went to Rancho Cucamonga over the weekend and collected three hits in six at-bats while driving in three runs to help the Quakes finish a three-game sweep over Lake Elsinore. Ramirez had surgery on March 22 to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb.

'The Sabres still have an awfully long road to travel. They need to be more consistent on both ends of the rink. They need someone to have a breakout year on offense, and they need Martin Biron to play well in goal. For crying out loud, they still need to find an owner. This is still a team that still has to overachieve to make the playoffs. But there is hope.'
Long way to go, but Sabres are having fun

Serial Killer With 'Violent Past' Now Pushing for Freedom
Richard Steeves is 75 years old, plays the piano, and has just one wish in life. But as Bob Hohler details for the Boston Globe, that wish—freedom—is complicated by the fact that Steeves is a convicted serial killer who's been in prison for three decades.
Hohler has long covered Steeves' case, including his clemency push, which the inmate at Maine's Mountain View correctional facility says would give the state a chance to show off a real "success story" of prisoner rehabilitation.
To bolster his case, Steeves, who has Parkinson's disease, has been highlighting evidence of his turnaround, including his hospice work and piano instruction for other inmates, caring for neglected dogs through a prison program, and woodworking contributions to the facility's store. "Keeping me in prison longer is no benefit to anyone," he recently told the Governor's Board on Executive Clemency.

The Outlook for producers' fleets is not very different from that of the major auto companies. The good news is that ready-mix trucks and pickups are safer, more fuel-efficient, and more reliable than ever.
The bad news is that sales have slowed to a trickle. The reason is obvious: the economy.
New trucks are vastly improved over those from just a few years ago. Most have stability systems and anti-rollover options. Optional radar-based active cruise control actually applies brakes if needed. Fuel economy is better now than when emissions controls were introduced in 2002. Maintenance intervals have been extended and trucks are more reliable. And deals are plentiful.
But what may be a bargain may not seem like one. The new features on trucks come with higher prices, so a 10% discount for a truck that is 15% higher than the one it replaces won't seem like a bargain. If you're looking to replace an 8- or 10-year-old truck, you'll be in for sticker shock. Emissions controls increased list prices by $6000 to $10,000 in 2007, and new equipment for 2010 regulations will add $9000 to $10,000 more.
Fleet managers are trying to find the right size for their fleets. In most cases, purchases of new trucks were stopped, often several years ago. Most are selling older equipment to help control maintenance and operating costs. Some are mothballing their oldest vehicles and keeping them available for any upticks in the economy.
Conditions today don't favor sellers. But many fleet managers feel that any hit on used truck prices due to oversupply and weak demand is more than offset by savings on insurance, depreciation, and other fixed costs of ownership. One creative fleet manager downsized and upgraded his fleet's age by bartering a larger number of older trucks for a smaller number of new trucks. No money changed hands.
One producer that just parked its surplus trucks recently brought back more than half the drivers it laid off. It was partly due to new business and partly because the producer was overly conservative in projecting its personnel needs. With business down, most have simply stopped buying trucks.
Tight credit
Credit availability is always a concern. Forward-looking producers described locking in lines of credit years ago, but even with funds available, they are reluctant to spend unless absolutely necessary. All capital expansion seems to be on hold, especially for truck fleets.
One fleet manager has not bought trucks for three years. When times were good, management cleared all the fleet's debt. With a very positive balance sheet, credit will be there for expansion when needed.
Several fleet managers mentioned that while prices are higher, vendors are getting more creative with other parts of the transaction. Besides discounts, they are reducing interest rates as low as zero percent, extending loan periods, and including free scheduled preventive maintenance.

Two Found Shot to Death in NW Side Apartment
Police say the death of two people found shot to death in a northwest side apartment overnight was a murder-suicide, 1200 WOAI news reports.
The man who was found dead was in the military, and the case appears to be another in a very disturbing uptick in military suicides.
Police were called when the man, who is in the military, failed to show up for work for the last two days. His unit and police, went to the Meadow Wood Apartment on Micron, near Culebra and Loop 410, to check up on him.
They knocked at the door and got no response, so they entered through a window.
Police say they found the body of the man, and a woman, inside the apartment. Both had been shot to death.
The Medical Examiner confirmed the deaths, but say the next of kin has not been notified, so their names are not being released.
185 active duty soldiers died by suicide in 2012, more than the number of Army personnel who were killed in the War in Afghanistan.
All branches of the military have special units in place to deal with active duty members, their families, and other military personnel who are at risk of suicide, and the Pentagon has made suicide prevention efforts a top priority.

It will be interesting to see just what Santa's Elf Chandler sends us for holiday wear. I was especially happy that the launch coincided with my $12 discount and free shipping.
Thread: Chandler Burr Untitled S01E06
We are off and running again !
Looks like Chandler has chosen to keep his impressions to a minimum this time, which is a fair strategy I think.
Will this fragrance have the punch to stand up to winter's cold, even though it's apparently good for summer as well ?
"Rich" he says, so perhaps it will.
It will be interesting to see just what Santa's Elf Chandler sends us for holiday wear. I was especially happy that the launch coincided with my $12 discount and free shipping.
I have to give the Untitled Series (and all the conversation around it) credit for reigniting my interest in trying new perfumes. During the break, I ordered about 20 samples to try.
Glad to hear that 06 is rich -- as opposed to spineless as before -- and I will be following the discussion with interest. I realize that "rich" for me and him can be different, though!
Can I get a summary of the first five? Is there a thread or website with that information?
I wish I could join but I doubt even if I asked someone to buy it for me, it would get here in time with all the X-mas fever. Looking forward to the discussion and the reveal though.

Out of the young(er) noses going rich I think of Daniel Maurel, Cecile Zarokian and Karine Vichon-Spehner, but CB kept saying "he". We'll see, as soon as you guys start telling what you smell.
Who knows - perhaps it will have some real teeth!
*gasps / faints / snores*
Half of me would love it, but half would prefer Chandler to treat Josh as an Amazonian native, to be studied with care and respect, but never to be disturbed by those of us living in Aquatica and Fleuyrup.
I'm in and am looking forward to what Chandler has in store for us.
I heartily approve of the much condensed description. It will be interesting to see how our discussion is different without so much verbal packaging.

Is anyone receiving anything yet? Please post your sniffing experiences, OK?
I just checked my delivery status, and UPS says my bottle will arrive on Saturday, 12/15.
- - - Updated - - -
Well UPS was wrong - my S01E06 arrived today! I was already well-scented with Chanel Coco, so I can't get a complete take on it yet, but my initial impression is orange and musk. I absolutely agree with Chandler's description that it emanates light. Anyone hoping to get down and dirty is going to be disappointed; this is a well-mannered fragrance (unless musk is your idea of raunchy). I'm not picking up on the "rich" aspect yet, but as I said I can't do more than a quick sniff against the backdrop of Coco. More impressions tomorrow.
I have been playing since S01E02 and avidly lurking here to find out what others are thinking. Got S01E06 today. I'm smelling pineapple and coconut. Anyone else get their bottle today?
I'm not playing this round, but I look forward to hearing everyone's impressions.
The question that women casually shopping for perfume ask more than any other is this: "What scent drives men wild?" After years of intense research, we know the definitive answer. It is bacon. Now, on to the far more interesting subject of perfume.
― Tania Sanchez, Perfumes: The Guide
I don't smell anything that overtly smells like pineapple and coconut, but I might be missing that. There is something warm and tangy in S01E06, but I'm having trouble teasing out individual notes. I'm disappointed in the longevity/sillage. The scent seems to smell different up-close than at a distance. That's not to say I don't like it - I do. It felt very cheery on a cold and wet December Saturday.
I got my bottle and wore it today. Not smelling any coconut or pineapple either. It is very similar to several scents that I have, so as you can guess, I like this one a lot. I detect several components, but I'm going to think about it before I shoot off my mouth about what I think is in it. I already thought it was three different fragrances, only to realize that it's probably not any of them. This may be new in my wardrobe. If it is one of the ones I was thinking, then there's been a reformulation.
This is, IMO, a more substantial scent. No knuckles are dragging, and no little black dresses are slinking, but it's more earthy and full-bodied than the previous five, so bravo for that.
I will enjoy wearing this!
PS - I finally saw the Art of Scent exhibit! It's great!
What grounds them oranges in 06, besides musk? Woods, roots, fuzziness, animalic warmth?
Let's take oranges that everybody knows -- Terre d'Hermes -- and compare them to 06. Any resemblance? Or, take another Orange Hermes -- any, basically -- Orange Vert or Merveilles in any form -- and please compare them with 06.
How is the throw? Does 06 last at all?

Here's what Chandler said:
I'm going to use ROT13 to remove the antichandlerian spoilers (a.k.a. "notes").Our holiday Untitled Series S01E06 is just perfect. There is a quality to it that's very holidays. Its beauty is very rich, and it emanates light, embraces you and holds you. I think it is the most perfect holiday scent although it can be worn all year round and in the summer. It is the creation from a young perfumer who is one of the most talented, innovative and creative olfactory artists out there. His work is terrific - it is one of the most solidly structured, overtly luxurious, beautiful works of olfactory art I know.
The first thing I noticed is that this is definitely a irgvire fragrance. The rich beauty and the embracing/holding quality seem to come from a combination of irgvire and gbaxn. In fact, I almost thought that this was the well-known favorite, Irgvire Gbaxn. I verified that it is not. But it's definitely earthy and smoky and warm, in the same way. It is also similar to other irgvire fragrances in my collection.
I agree that it can be worn year-round, but it is particularly nice right now.
I agree that it is solidly structured, in that the notes blend together very nicely and lose their individual form. If I sniff it up close on skin, it just keeps going and going and going. Very warm and toasty. I would say that it's masculine, for sure.
I don't get a lot of benatr per se. I do get some. Definitely not as much as in Greer qUrezrf. I do get zhfx in the drydown, and even in the opening, when it warms up the irgvire and gbaxn/inavyyn.
In some ways, as it dries down, it passes through a toasty gourmandish phase - roasted chestnuts? It leaves an excellent skin scent as well.
Because of the similarities to the highly respected Irgvire Gbaxn, but being in some ways even better, I have to concur with Chandler that this is a great fragrance and that the young perfumer must be a bit of a rock star!
Great description, EAC (ROT13)! Could you please compare it with Lalique Encre Noire Men then? Any similarities besides that fuzzy rooty note? Knowing CB, I realize it is all not that simple, with chestnuts roasting and other million peculiarities.
Overall, we are getting some sort of (sweet) citrus on top, masculine wood and roots in the development, and fuzzy warm enveloping almost vanillic but not sweet drydown, right?
Anything from PG that comes to mind?
Also, how about Francis Camail for Bond No.9 (also known for sweet and not so sweet citruses for Annick Goutal)?
And then again, there is always Ralph Schwieger (not only for Hermes with Merveilles).

Just a chuckle, when I think perfumer + rockstar I think Puevfgbcur Ynhqnzvry
Maybe Obfdhr?
He is rather fitting, I agree. Obfdhr is too happy, too light, too crisp, too colognesque. Ask SoS, he should know for certain.
What color is the liquid in 06?

Does this help?
Your overall description is very good!
Not totally sure about your two suggestions, there, but could be.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson
College community honored five alumni and three longtime friends
and crowned a new queen and king at the college's 82nd Homecoming
Weekend, held Friday and Saturday.
"I want you to know how grateful Elise and I are for the
opportunity to serve Lindsey Wilson College," LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. told more than 200
people at Saturday's Homecoming Awards Brunch. "I hope you will
realize what a special place this is and how blessed you are that
Lindsey Wilson College and the people you have encountered here
have been in your life."
At the Homecoming Alumni Brunch on Saturday, the Lindsey
Wilson National Alumni Association honored three alumni and three
college friends:
* Greg Hall of the Class of 1982, a
Tompkinsville, Ky., native and current resident of San Diego
received the Distinguished Service Award;
* Glasgow, Ky., resident Brian Shirley
of the Class of 1998 received the Outstanding Young Alumnus
* the late Columbia resident Jean McLean
of the Class of 1949 was honored posthumously with the
Distinguished Service Award;
* and three individuals were named honorary Lindsey
Wilson alumni: B.J. Burnett of Lexington, Ky., who
has been a member of the Lindsey Wilson Board of Trustees for more
than 25 years; and LWC Associate Professor of Music Gerald Chafin and his wife, Sonja, both of
"This is always my favorite part of the weekend," said
LWC Director of Alumni Relations Randy Burns. "It's was such a great time
because old friends got together, and we also honored some truly
outstanding and wonderful people -- people who are responsible for
Lindsey Wilson being what it is today."
Before Saturday's LWC-Faulkner (Ala.) University football
game at Blue Raider Stadium, two former Blue Raider
basketball players were inducted into the Lindsey Wilson Athletic Hall of Fame: Shelia Isenberg
McGeorge of the Class of 1990 and Joe
McGeorge of the Class of 1994, both of whom are from
Tompkinsville, Ky.
"It's kind of neat the fact that it was the first husband
and wife going into the Hall of Fame," said LWC Sports Information
Director Chris Wells. "They were outstanding
student-athletes and great role models for our youth throughout
their entire careers at Lindsey Wilson and beyond. … They are great
ambassadors for not just the sport that they love -- basketball --
but for Lindsey Wilson College as well."
Throughout the weekend, reunions were held for the
classes of 1964, 1973, 1983, 1993 and 2003; former members of the
Lindsey Wilson Singers, Bonner Scholars; and members of the Golden
Alumni Society.
During halftime of the football game Dariann Smith of Columbia was
crowned homecoming queen and Alexander Giergen of
Dusseldorf, Germany, was crowned homecoming king. Smith represented
the LWC Bonner Scholars Program, and Giergen represented the
basketball program.

Global Golf is a great place to do business. I purchased these clubs in mint condition. But they have not even been hit with a exception of 6 iron, so I think this was a demo set if that.I purchase Rocketbladez with graphite shaft. 4-AW. These are without a doubt the best clubs I have played with. They are true to distance even on a mishit and I truly believe they are better than RBZ with slightly more distance. More importantly with these clubs I can actually work the ball not much as the blades but well enough for a person who plays once or twice a month. I have lowered by score by 5 to 7 strokes with these clubs. They feel so great when you hit a shot and you can almost know your yardage every time.
I wish I bought these When I was in the market for " Game Improving " Irons!! They are Perfect for confidence, Distance and Forgiving. But that's not the best part of these Irons, They are Extremely True to the Individual Iron distance. Meaning If you typically hit your 7 Iron 150yrds you will Consistently hit that Yardage, Even on Off hits!!!
These clubs are a changer to any players game. I do think these clubs are longer than any iron I have ever played. The speed pocket must make all the difference.
I love how progressive the set is. The short irons look like players irons, but as the irons get longer, bigger and more forgiving. These irons, obviously, are very long, due to stronger lofts and thinner faces.
I've only been playing for a year and I did not believe better irons could improve a beginner's game. I was wrong. These clubs are easy to hit and forgiving yet long. I absolutely recommend them
The TaylorMade RocketBladez irons revolutionizes the design and technology of iron sets. The new design and technology implemented into the RocketBladez irons aims to promote higher ball launch and faster ball speed. The improvements to the irons should also allow not only for higher shots, but also for straighter, longer shots that will stop quicker thanks to a steeper descent angle.
The "Speed Pocket" on these irons is responsible for these improvements in playability and shot shaping ability. TaylorMade introduced the Speed Pocket first on the RocketBallz Fairway Woods. The success they had with it there inspired them to translate it to a line of irons.
The Speed Pocket is a slot in the sole of the clubs (on the 3 through 7 irons) that is about 2mm wide. Its ability to give and flex when it impacts the ball promotes faster ball speed, higher launch angle, and a shot that lands with more "stickiness."
The RocketBladez's Speed Pocket will also help golfers on mis-hits, making them a more forgiving iron that helps to create consistency even if the golfer is prone to mis-hits low on the clubface with irons shots. (Studies by TaylorMade indicate a majority of amateur golfers will mis-hit their iron below the center of the club face.)
The ability of the Speed Pocket to give and flex at impact makes the clubface capable of higher speeds, which translates to more ball speed after impact and a higher launch angle. While the Speed Pocket is a 2mm wide cavity behind the club face, unlike the Speed Pocket on the RocketBallz fairways, the Speed Pockets in the RocketBladez irons are filled with a polyurethane material that was specially forumated by 3M. This polyurethane filler dampens vibration without significantly inhibiting the movement of the pocket, and it also serves the purpose of keeping debris out.
The clubface on the RocketBladez is made of strong, maraging stainless steel. TaylorMade boasts it's their most sophisticated clubface design yet, which they achieved through exhaustive testing and analysis. The RocketBladez clubface is the thinnest iron face TaylorMade has manufactured to date, with the top section 11% thinner--down from 1.8mm to 1.6mm.
The RocketBladez irons also incorporate the latest iteration of TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology. The improved design delivers increases the area of the clubface which creates higher ball speeds. It also influences how the clubface gives and rebounds at impact, which better controls the launch angle of the ball from the face, which leads to straighter shots and increased precision. This makes the RocketBladez more accurate than previous high-COR irons.
To achieve maximum ball speed on any shot, it is critical that the clubface strike the ball in front of where the club head's center of gravity (CG) is located. TaylorMade engineers fine-tuned the CG in the RocketBladez irons to a low and perfectly centered location on the clubface. They were able to achieve this by shortening the hosel in order to save weight. They also took additional weight from the top of the club and redistributed it in strategic areas within the head. The RocketBladez club head design redistributes overall 17.5 grams of weight, which effectively lowers the CG by 2.5mm compared to the Burner 2.0 irons. By pushing the CG lower in the center of the face, players will find it easier to consistently find the sweetspot and achieve maximum energy transfer from club to ball, promoting a higher launch angle and maximum distance.
RocketBladez irons (both models) feature a distinct external notch on the outer, rear side of the hosel and an internal notch inside that together make it easy to bend the head to change the lie angle. That's a distinct advantage to bendability when employing high-strength stainless steel in the head construction.

For some lean/agile practitioners, the idea of maintaining traceability among different development artifacts is nonsense. There are times, though, when traceability is required and other times when it's highly valuable. We need to develop a value mindset of transparency in our processes and approach so that traceability requirements can be satisfied with minimal effort.
Trustworthy Transparency over Tiresome Traceability
Many in the agile community, especially the eXtreme Programming community, see red whenever they encounter that maddening "T-word": traceability. Almost instantaneous distrust sets in against those who would dare to utter it, much less recommend it. On the other side of the fence, we have many agile skeptics who misunderstand (or have all too often seen misapplied) the Agile Manifesto's tenet of "working software over comprehensive document" to mean "We're Agile! We don't do documentation!"
The position of this month's article on traceability is more "lean" than "agile." We base this on the XP & Scrum centric views that were expressed in the March, 2004 YahooGroup discussion thread Why Traceability? Can it be Agile? The "tests over traceability" discussion is probably a valid summary of the XP/Scrum perspective from that thread.
From his recent stint at Microsoft, David Anderson would probably say something more along the lines of "transparency over traceability", where we acknowledge the important goals that traceability is trying to fulfill, but don't necessarily accept many of the traditional ways of trying to attain it. David, in particular, has written about "trustworthy transparency" and "naked projects". These are projects that are so transparent and visible in their status/accounting that they seem "naked". Here is an excerpt from David on the subject of Changing the Software Engineering Culture with Trustworthy Transparency:
"Modern software tooling innovation allows the tracking of work performed by engineers and transparent reporting of that work in various formats suitable for everything from day-to-day management and team organization to monthly and quarterly senior executive reporting. Modern work item tracking is coupled to version control systems and aware of analysis, design, coding and testing transitions. This makes it not only transparent but trustworthy. Not only can a tool tell you the health of a project based on the state of completion of every work item, but this information is reliable and trustworthy because it is tightly coupled to the system of software engineering and the artifacts produced by it. The age of trustworthy transparency in software engineering is upon us. Trustworthy transparency changes the culture in an organization and enables change that unleashes significant gains in productivity and initial quality. However, transparency and managing based on objective study of reality strains existing software engineering culture as all the old rules, obfuscation, economies of truth, wishful thinking and subjective decision making must be cast aside. What can you expect, how will you cope and how can you harness the power of trustworthy transparency in your organization?"
In the past we have written about The Trouble with Tracing: Traceability Dissected where we described:
- The ten "commandments" of traceability
- Nine common complaints about traceability
- Eight reasons for traceability
- The seven functions of SCM
- The six "facets" of traceability
- The five orders of traceability
- The four "rings" of enterprise/stakeholder visibility
- The three driving forces for traceability
- The two overarching objectives of traceability
- One ultimate mission/vision: fostering trust
To make a long (but hopefully interesting) story short, we concluded that the overreaching objectives of traceability are:
- Transparency: the ability to readily view all the information we are concerned with
- Identification: the ability to identify our concerns so we can separate independent sets of concerns and cohesively associate the related ones.
These are supposed to be ideals that help to engender trust. Can we achieve transparency and identification (and hence "navigable knowledge-spaces") without more traditional traceability methods? If so, what are the different ways of doing it?
Our CM backgrounds strongly differ from the many vocal opinions expressed in XP community when it comes to the use of tools for tracking requests/changes. We are strongly in favor of using a "good" tracking tool. Index cards are a great and valuable "tool" for eliciting dialogue and interaction with the "customer" and some of us even use them for this purpose, along with post-it notes. From a CM-perspective, though, index cards alone simply do not suffice as a serious means of storing, tracking, sorting, searching, slicing & dicing development change requests. We do believe an extent of traceability is necessary, and that it's not necessarily "agile," but that it can be, and should be, "lean" and streamlined. It should also serve the purpose of transparency, visibility and status-accounting rather than being a goal in itself.

WINTER PARK, Fla. - Saint Leo freshman Matheus Assis has once again been named Sunshine State Conference Men's Swimmer of the Week presented by VALIC, it was announced Monday by SSC officials.
Assis, as native of Brazil, had a record-setting day in the No. 20 Lions' 147-115 upset over No. 11 Tampa. Assis won the 100-yard butterfly with a school-record time of 50.13. He also set a new program record in winning the 100-yard backstroke in 50.06. Both of those marks were the fastest in the SSC this season and achieved NCAA "B" standard qualifying times.
Assis continued his assault on the Lions' record books as part of the 400-yard freestyle relay team. Swimming the leadoff leg, Assis clocked a school-record 45.57 in his 100 yards to help Saint Leo win the event with a time of 3:03.82.
