Gonzaga - 1
Northern Illinois - 0
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Freshman Philippe Garre took a pass from veteran George Josten and scored from 8 yards for his first career goal to give the 25th-ranked Gonzaga University's men's soccer team a 1-0 victory over Northern Illinois University Saturday night.
With the win the Bulldogs (5-2-0) won their second straight Stephen Hensor/Joe Zaher Classic hosted by Oregon State University. Gonzaga and NIU (2-3-3) both won their opening matches Friday to set up the winner-take-all meeting Saturday.
Garre, a forward from Scottsdale, Ariz., got the only goal the Bulldogs and keeper Vito Higgins would need at 44:41 on the give-and-go from Josten. For Josten it was his third assist of the season and the 13th of his career as he moved into a tie for fourth on the all-time Gonzaga list with Scott Yuska (2000-03) and Arni Ingi Pjetursson (2001-04). With his goal and assist Friday, it gives him seven goals and five assists in eight career matches in Corvallis. He had four goals and two assists in this tournament last year.
Higgins made three saves - all in the first half - and defender Daniel Scott also chipped in with a team save to help the native of Kailua, Hawai'i, record his second shutout of the season and the 10th of his career to become the third keeper in Bulldog history with 10 or more. The two ahead of him are also fellow Islanders - Josh Fouts (1996-98) with 19 and Mike McCarthey (1999-02) with 13.
Higgins and the Bulldogs survived one close call in the 37th minute when Scott, another Hawaiian native from Maui, kept Chris Rufa's shot from finding the net, the rebound came out to Drew Jeskey and Higgins made that save to thwart the Huskies.
Gonzaga out shot the Huskies 12-6, seven of the Bulldogs shots on goal as keeper Joe Zimka had six saves.
The Bulldogs won their third straight match and are off to their best start since 1997 when they opened the season 6-1 on the way to a 14-4-0 overall record and 4-2-0 West Coast Conference record that earned them a share of the regular-season title.
Saturday's match also saw two familiar coaches on opposing sidelines. NIU is coached by Steve Simmons, a 1994 Gonzaga men's assistant who replaced current Gonzaga head coach Einar Thorarinsson at Whitworth College in 1995 when Thorarinsson came across town to join the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs will open WCC play Saturday at the University of Portland in a 7 p.m. match.
Santa Clara - 2 (OT)
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The No. 7 Santa Clara men's soccer team won a thriller at Buck Shaw Stadium, defeating No. 5 UCLA 2-1 in overtime on a Jeff Cosgriff strike less than a minute into the extra session. Despite falling behind in the first half, SCU tied the game on a goal from Peter Lowry in the 86th minute to force overtime. Santa Clara is now 5-1-2 on the season with the victory.
Cosgriff's game-winner game just 39 seconds into overtime after a scramble in front of the Bruins' goal. A throw in from the left wing found junior Jide Ogunbiyi in the box and the ball deflected to Cosgriff in front of goal. Cosgriff then calmly chipped a shot over UCLA goalkeeper Brian Perk to set off a raucous celebration.
Early on in the game, Santa Clara had the better of the play as well as a number of opportunities to take the lead. Ogunbiyi nearly put SCU up 1-0 17 minutes into the match after some great combination play at the top of the box by the Broncos. Junior Brian Martin received a pass from redshirt freshman Kellen Wantulok and found Matt Marquess at the top of the box. Marquess played a ball for Lowry that got deflected and rolled towards the net. Ogunbiyi beat the goalkeeper to the ball but his sliding shot skidded wide on the wet grass.
In the 31st minute, Marquess had a go from long range that forced a good save from UCLA goalkeeper Brian Perk. Ogunbiyi took a pass at the edge of the penalty box and laid it off for Marquess, who sent a low one-timer on net, but Perk got down to make the save.
Mike Zaher got the Bruins on the board in the late stages of the first half with an astounding long-range shot into the lower corner. The Bruin defender picked up the ball 35 yards from goal and unloaded a left-footer that skimmed into the far post past a diving Kevin Klasila. The goal came in the 38th minute.
Klasila came up big in the 54th minute with a save at the near post. UCLA's Richard Flores got free behind the defense and broke down the left wing and cut to the middle. He fired a low shot, but Klasila dove to his left to make the save and then gather in the rebound.
The game changed in the 68th minute when Flores was shown a red card by referee Yader Reyes. Flores stamped down on Stephen McCarthy's leg after a tackle by McCarthy and he was immediately sent off.
The Broncos began to put numbers forward and Marquess had the equalizer in his sights with 19 minutes left, but his volley at the far post missed the net by inches. Lowry set up Marquess with a perfect cross from the left wing to the back post. Marquess beat his defender and side-footed a shot that hit the outside of the goal.
Lowry scored a dramatic tying goal for the second straight home match on a beautiful play that started on the left wing. Matt Hatzke sent a cross to the far post right onto the foot of Brian Curry. Curry volleyed a ball back across the goal mouth for Lowry, who made no mistake as he buried a shot past Perk into the near post. The goal was Lowry's five of the year and third in the past two games. He also scored in the final minutes last week against Stanford to send the game to overtime. Lowry now has 19 career goals at SCU, tying him for ninth all-time in program history for goals scored.
Santa Clara now has two weeks off before the team opens West Coast Conference play on the road. SCU travels to Southern California to play Loyola Marymount on Oct. 5 and San Diego on Oct. 7. The LMU match begins at 4 p.m. PT and the USD game kicks off at 2 p.m. PT. Follow all the action on SantaClaraBroncos.com.
New Mexico - 2
San Francisco - 0
SAN FRANCISCO - No. 12 San Francisco (4-3-0) suffered their second straight shutout loss as No. 28 New Mexico (5-3-0) won a 2-0 decision Saturday evening at Negoesco Field. The result came despite the Dons outshooting the Lobos, 10-9.
New Mexico sophomore midfielder Justin Davis scored the Lobos first goal in the 29th minute as he took a pass from junior midfielder Jack Smithson and fired on an open net created by a charging Jeremy Coupe, USF's goalkeeper. The score was 1-0 at halftime with New Mexico leading in shots, 4-3.
In the 51st minute, Lobo junior forward Chris Wright beat out three Dons with fancy footwork then aimed and scored at the top left corner of the USF goal.
Davis led all players with four shots, three on goal. Sophomore forward Conor Chinn, freshman defender Victor Cortez and freshman forward Rafai Eddy had two shots a piece to pace USF.
New Mexico senior goalkeeper Mike Graczyk, a CollegeSoccerNews.com Preseason All-American, had two saves on the night. Coupe made four saves between the pipes for the Dons.
"Tonight we lost to a very good team," USF head coach Erik Visser said. "Our team has shown that it is not yet ready to put back-to-back quality performances together against elite teams. After the first seven games, we have shown the ability to compete with the top teams in the country, however we still need to put in two weeks of quality practice in order to compete effectively in the West Coast Conference."
USF continues its four-match home stand when it opens West Coast Conference play against the Pacific Northwest schools, beginning Friday, October 5 against Portland. Game time against the Pilots is set for 7:00 PM at Negoesco Stadium.
DONS' NOTES - Saturday's match was a rematch of last year's NCAA Tournament first round battle which saw New Mexico win, 1-0, with a goal made in the 90th minute... it's the second straight shutout victory for Graczyk over the Dons... the New Mexico goalkeeper has three shutouts on the season, two this week as the Lobos defeated Cal State Northridge, 4-0, on Thursday.

"I went on a limb and decided to order shutterfly birthday invitations. I wasn't sure if I wanted to because I actually don't personally know anyone who has ordered from shutterfly and I don't like ordering from somewhere I haven't heard a lot about but my invitations turned out absolutely wonderful! I am so glad that I ordered from shutterfly. I told everyone that I know that I was very impressed and glad I ordered from shutterfly. I will definitely be ordering something from them again! I also got a great deal. We don't have a big family and we only needed ten invitations. So we got ten custom made invitations for $7! Great promo codes. :) very happy with them!"
"I love the way my baby girl's 1st birthday invitations turned out! I have used Shutterfly for her birth announcements and now birthday invitations and thank you cards. They always turn out amazing!!"
"Like that we could use multiple photos"
"I have used Shutterfly in the past. Almost one year ago, I made birth announcements/thank you cards for the arrival of my daughter. I also made a photo book for my hubby for our anniversary. This time, I made 1st birthday invitations for my daughter and another photo book for her first year. The site is very easy to use, and I have found all the products easy to customize. There is a lot of variety although I didn't actually find what I was looking for in regards to the invitations. I had to settle for a style that was the closest to what I wanted. I am still waiting for my items to arrive, but my first and second purchases were beautiful. I was very pleased with how they turned out. The one thing I am not overly happy with is the shipping. As I am in Canada, the cost was very high, and there is no tracking information provided. However, I received an email notifying me that they have shipped rather quickly, but without tracking information, I have no way of telling where they are or when they will arrive within the 10 day window provided."
"This was an outstanding card! It came out beautiful I got so many compliments on it Everyone loved it, it's a great way to send family and friends pictures"
She is your baby girl and it's nearly impossible to believe that she's been with you for an entire year.

It's in the bag
Mark Leung is carrying his family's successful handbag business to new heights
When other children his age were having fun at the playground, Mark Leung, executive director of L and Leung Leatherware, spent his time hanging out in factory buildings with his parents.
"My parents worked seven days a week, so even on weekends I would be at the factory with them," he says. "I was never bored though. There were always 40 or 50 aunties and uncle working and I thought of them as part of my family. I guess this is how I developed my management philosophy to treat staff like they are my own family."
Leung's father founded leather-ware manufacturers L and Leung in the 1980s and the company has been operating in a factory building in Tsuen Wan ever since. It was never Leung's intention to inherit the family business, however. After completing his education in Australia with a degree in information technology (IT), he worked in the IT industry for several years before finally deciding to join his family's business in 2008.
"My parents never urged me to take up their business, but one day I realised I wanted to help because they were getting older," Leung says. "I want the family business to prosper because it is their life-long effort. It is my own choice. I have an elder brother who is living and working in Australia, but he does not want to run it."
He says that his experience of being an employee helped him to understand what it is like to be a regular staff member. "I understand how they feel and their concerns. I see my staff as my companions and they are the heart and soul of the company. They can choose to work somewhere else, but they choose to work for me and I am really thankful for their loyalty. I trust them and I want them to trust me. Trust is the key to building a reliable work force," he says.
So, too, is keeping his workforce happy. He believes his staff deserve quality time with their families after working hard all day and urges them not to work overtime. "Many of our staff are married and have kids. I don't want them to lose out on quality time with their families, so I want everyone to leave the factory by 6.30pm," he says.
"I don't want staff to stay behind with me. Some may think it is not appropriate to leave earlier than the boss, but I don't want any of that. I am not worried about productivity at all because I trust that they will finish their tasks before they leave. We have a mutual understanding."
Leung is so serious about emptying his premises by 6.30pm that even when he needs to do extra work, he would rather leave the office on time and continue at home.
Another way he keeps staff loyal is by sharing profits with them. "Every year I announce the profits to everyone and tell them how much they are going to get for a bonus. There are no secrets – my staff know that I am willing to share with them," he says.
A good mix of workers has helped Leung develop his business. "We used to have many staff from the mainland, but I think having a diverse group of staff is more beneficial for development. I have people from Hong Kong, America and Japan in my office. The locals are familiar with the business, the Americans are good with design and the Japanese are experts in customer service," he says.
Leung thinks having new ideas is what keeps a business growing. "My father was an innovator. He was the first to manufacture snakeskin products in Asia back in the 1980s. Now it is my turn to come up with something new. I think for the business to continue to grow, we cannot passively wait for brands to give us orders. I want the company to be proactive, so I transformed L and Leung from an OEM [Original Equipment Manufacturer] to an ODM [Original Design Manufacturer]," he says.
In 1997, L and Leung was hit hard by the Asian financial crisis. To keep the business afloat, Leung senior opened a sales office in the US in 2000 that sold handbags designed by Americans to the local market. "My father decided that he could not depend solely on orders from other brands. The US sales office was the foundation of developing our own US-based brand, 'Emma Fox'," he says.
After Leung started working for the family business, he actively promoted Emma Fox and hugely expanded the number of retail points for the brand. When the North American market started to slow down after the recent financial crisis, Leung started promoting the brand in Asia, especially on the mainland.
"We have positioned our brand to provide high-quality bags at affordable prices. Office ladies and middle-class consumers are our target customers. We are not yet a world-famous brand name, but the quality of our products is close to such brands," he says.
"Our business continued to grow during the 2008 financial crisis and the profit from Emma Fox has grown 10 times since the brand was founded in 2006," he adds.
Even though he has been at L and Leung since 2008, Leung says he is still learning new things about his job every day. "Making leather is an art – there is so much to learn," he says. "Luckily my father is there to teach me and help with the manufacturing processes, while I focus on marketing. I am not sure when my father will retire – I hope he doesn't because he will be bored."
Looking ahead, Leung thinks individual designers, as opposed to larger manufacturers, will increasingly pose a threat to his company. "There is an increasing number of designers leaving their positions at big brands and starting out on their own. This is because nowadays it is easy for a designer to co-operate with a factory and produce their own work. It is really difficult for me anticipate what these individual designers are doing," he says.

Remember that we are in this together and we're here to support each other. We are designed to be in a community. We are not islands and we're not meant to do this alone. Go on the exclusive page today and encourage someone you normally don't talk to.
1. Tuesday- Cardio Day! Try this. Don't forget to stretch before and after:)
2. Food- Be adventurous and explore new tastes! Keep up on your food journaling and be mindful. Let's focus on abundance instead of scarcity. Its all about perspective. Instead of being focused on all the foods you CAN'T have focus on all the new foods you CAN have!!! I am exploring so many new flavors and textures! The best part is that it's good for you.
3. Mantra for the day: Be a learner.
*I have a business mentor. I followed directions, I saw results.

I need a new heat protectant...to deal with the humidity and stuff..I can't straighten it without my roots puffing up and looking frizzy.
Most Helpful Girl
If the issue is with your hair frizzing in the humidity there isn't much a heat protectant can do about that. What you want is a anti-humectant or moisture blocker like sabino moisture blocker, chi silk infusion, frizz-ease, aveda, and aussie also have some products with anti-humectant properties. If you have more of a kinky/dry type of hair texture you can use coconut oil because I heard that it acts as an anti-humectant.00|00|0

theBalm Instain Blush | ReviewWednesday, January 08, 2014
Hey girls, I'm back with another review! I recently purchased a few things from Hautelook, you can check my Beauty Haul here.
Hautelook usually has some really good flash sales of some amazing brands, so when I saw theBalm was on there, I couldn't pass it up. These blushes are quite pricey, but thankfully I found them for 50%, such a steal!
Let's get on with the review, shall we?

ryan dittmarwrote a review of Mountain Hardwear StretchDown Hooded Jacket - Men's on December 19, 2016
Stretchy down
Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fit: True to size
I do a lot of resort skiing and back country ski a couple times a week. I bought this for resort skiing and wearing around town when it's cold. What makes this jacket great is that I can wear a medium (I'm normally between a medium and a large) and it doesn't feel overly confining. The stretch across the back it great because it allows the jacket to fit nice and trim and still allow movement and active use without feeling too small. This jacket is a bit boxy, through the mid-section and it is a longer fitting jacket than many down insulator pieces. I won't use this for hiking in because it's a little heavy and bulky, but it's perfect for everything else. The nice outer material is good for stretch, abrasion resistance, and cold weather moisture but it isn't particularly light weight for stuffing in a small pack like many of the high-loft down pieces out there. I'm 5'11" and about 185 pounds. Most medium jackets are too narrow in the shoulders and across the back, which also makes them feel a little short (in the waist). Most large jackets are really boxy through the mid section/waist with pretty long sleeves. The medium is trim fitting on me, but still comfortable and allows great movement. Oh yeah, and it's super warm but it's a down insulator, so that kinda goes without saying. The stretch allows me to wear a medium, but the it fits off the rack like a medium. I rated it true to size. It's my new favorite jacket for pretty much everything except for back-country skiing/boarding. I gave it a 4 because I would love to see this with a slightly trimmer mid-section and a lighter weight material that still stretches (I don't think it exists, but I still want it).

Loyal pets can feel like family, especially when their named after all 12 of your uncles. Treat your four-legged family member to some fun with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $49 for five-day summer camp for one dog (up to $235 value)
From July 14–August 15, canines of all breeds and sizes clamber to Wag Hotels for five weeks of themed summer camp fun. Whether dropping in for a day or enjoying a full week, pups can participate in a variety of activities including surfing and sunbathing during Summer Escape week and beach volleyball during Life's A Beach week.
This deal does not need to be used consecutively. See the FAQs for more information.
Wag Hotels
With up to 1,100 square feet of outdoor space, private suites, and splash pools, Wag Hotels would be a swanky destination for any human. But as much as they might want to—and as much press as they might have read about the hotels—bipeds aren't welcome to spend the night at either of the hotel's locations. Instead, cats and dogs rule the roost at these luxury pet resorts.
All locations are open 24/7 and offer more than 10,000 square feet of indoor playrooms where pups romp around. Spacious boarding rooms with flat screen TVs await canines spending the night while two-level kitty condos keep cats entertained with built-in exotic fish tanks. And for top dogs, Wags offers Ultra suites outfitted with raised Queen beds and in-room aromatherapy dispensed by employees. Animals can even indulge in the hotel's spa, which offers such grooming services as oatmeal shampoos and pet tattoos.
To ensure each four-legged guest's visit is comfortable, Wag's team employs the Wag Care 360 approach. This approach includes sanitizing the facility regularly and allowing owners to check in on their pets via the hotel's web cams. Wag also provides dog training courses.

Original article Mobility of honey bees (Apidae, Apis mellifera L.) during foraging in avocado orchards Gad Ish-Ama Dan Eisikowitch aThe Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Department of Horticulture, P.O. Box 12, Rehovot 76100, Israel bUniversity of Tel-Aviv, Department of Botany, P.O. Box 39040, Tel-Aviv 69978, Israel (Received 27 May 1997; accepted 28 January 1998) Abstract - The mobility of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) during foraging has a great influence on the effectiveness of the bees as cross-pollinators. In this work, honey bee mobility was mea- sured in avocado orchards, between neighbouring trees and up to a distance of 15 rows. The average number of bees crossing between adjacent rows in a 10-min period was linearly corre- lated to bee density, and the corresponding percentage increased with the increase in wind velo- city, from 30 % in a light wind (4 km/h) to up to 65 % in a strong wind (45 km/h). The bees ten- ded to travel upwind, and this tendency increased with increasing wind velocity. Consequently, under strong-wind conditions, up to 100 % of the bees travelled to the adjacent upwind row in a 10-min period. The percentage of cross-pollinating bees decreased with increasing distance from the pollen source, following a hyperbolic curve, and reached 1-2 % of the bees at a distance of 10-15 rows. © Inra/DIB/AGIB/Elsevier, Paris honey bee / mobility / cross-pollination / Persea americana / avocado / wind velocity 1. INTRODUCTION Pollinator mobility is essential mainly to plants that require, or are benefited by cross-pollination (i.e. pollen transfer be- tween plants of different cultivars within the same species). This need occurs in dioecious crop species (kiwi, some papaya cultivars), in self-incompatible mono- ecious or hermaphroditic species (almond, cherry), and in crops which are partially self-incompatible (some apple and most avocado cultivars) [32]. In some of these species, such as apple and almond, cross- pollination is performed by honey bee

Pop Rocks: It Was You, Don Draper...You Broke My Heart
We're two weeks into the new season of Mad Men and already we've witnessed the event that may signify the ultimate spiritual and mental collapse of series lynchpin Don Draper.
No, I'm not talking about his post-Christmas party tryst with Allison, his loyal secretary (loyal to a fault, it would seem), though that certainly did set many tongues a-wagging among those fortunate enough to list "watching TV" in their job description. Certainly it was low ebb for Don, who in the past had at least managed to tastefully confine his dalliances to other men's wives and his kids' teacher. Indeed, many would consider his awkward handing over of Allison's Christmas "bonus" lower still.
Then again, this is 1964. Who couldn't use a hundred bucks?
No, the incident to which I refer occurred all the way back in the first episode, when Don displayed an affection for prostitutes (again, not exactly shocking for the era...or the profession), specifically those of the slapping variety.

Now I'm sure series creator Matthew Weiner -- when he's not bitching at January Jones to put on some weight -- intended this act of masochism to represent Don's accelerating slide into despair and existential crisis; that the man who proved so adept at manufacturing and living a false identity (at least until he left his super secret documents in his DESK AT HOME) would begin to unravel when he lost one of the only things giving him a sense of self: his family.
Yeah. Look, I hate to tell Mr. Weiner his business, especially when it's been working so well so far, but the psychological underpinnings of Don's childhood have never been all that compelling (his mother was a prostitute and now he works in advertising...do I have to draw you a diagram?). At the very least, they paled next to those of the real weirdos, like Pete Campbell and Bert Cooper. But we always liked Don for representing that bygone era when lunch consisted of four martinis and desert was a half a pack of Luckies.
That Don and the rest of the crew at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Waterhouse represent a bygone masculine age (well, maybe not that dork Harry Crane) has been remarked upon ad nauseum since the show began. Men of my generation cluck our tongues at such blatant insensitivity. We recognize the pitfalls of romanticizing an era when philandering was winked at, alcoholism was a job requirement, and the Voting Rights Act was still a year away.
But there's always a part of us that wonders: what's it like to never change a diaper?
Which is why Don's...well, let's not call it a "fall from grace" so much as his abdicating Milton's diabolical throne...is so upsetting. I wouldn't say we were mad that he's as prone to vanilla fetishism as the next pizza-faced loser with mommy issues. Just disappointed.
We really should have seen the warning signs last season during Don's extended California fandango, a sequence about as out of place as banjo solo at a Mayhem show. In the end, it accomplished two things: robbing Christina Hendricks of valuable screen time, and increasing our dread that the show is about to drift into Battlestar Galactica levels of metaphysical wankery.
I'm now taking bets on when Don's suicide attempt will take place. My guess: on or right before the season finale. Probably following the blockbuster Advertising Age story about his "Dick Whitman" past.

text: Mountain State sports heroes I wish I had met By Frank Giardina October 12, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- IN MY YEARS of covering sports in our state and around the country, I have been blessed to meet and work with some incredible individuals. I have worked with football legend Joe Paterno, become friends with the first black coach to win the Super Bowl and broadcast games with Lindsey Nelson. I have been to multiple Super Bowls, World Series, Indy 500s, Final Fours, Brickyard 400s and every major bowl.But there is much I have not done. And while I have met many of the great names in sports from our state, there are many that I did not meet. Here is a list of some of those names.NEIL BAISI - I did meet the coaching legend at West Virginia Tech, but I never had a chance to really talk with him. He may have been our state's most innovative coach. Coaches came from all over the country to meet the man they called "the Papa Bear."ROY "LEGS" HAWLEY - He is in virtually every sports Hall of Fame in the state. He was the athletic director at both Marshall and WVU and did an incredible job at both places. He was an incredible visionary for sports in our state from the 1920s-'50s. He was crushed in 1954 when the newly formed ACC would not take WVU and he died a short time later.KEN JONES - The former sports director of the old WHTN-TV (Channel 3), Jones was killed in the Marshall plane crash. I watched him on the air but never met him. I still remember the sense of loss in the television community when we lost him.GENE MOREHOUSE - A legendary Beckley sportscaster and the play-by-play voice of Marshall athletics, Morehouse was also killed in the tragedy of 1970. I sat in Gene's chair, but never knew him. We all know his son, Keith. I would love to have known Gene.GEORGE RITCHIE - I knew a lot about him. I knew many of his former players, but I never met the long-time former Williamson basketball coach of the '60s and early '70s. Everyone respected him. A former player at Wake Forest, he was a strong man of faith and instilled life values, as well as basketball, into his players. CHAUNCEY ROBINSON - Growing up in the DuPont community, long-time Panther fans spoke Robinson's name in hushed tones. Panther stars who followed Robinson were always compared to Chauncey. He must have been special when he starred for the DuPont teams of the late '50s and early '60s.FRED SCHAUS - This mountain of a man was good at everything he did. He coached WVU basketball to the Final Four in 1959. He later coached the L.A. Lakers and Purdue. He was a beloved athletic director at WVU. His son, Jim, is one of the best athletic directors in the country at Ohio University. I was around Fred many times, but never really had a chance to talk with him.GEORGE SPRINGER - The former commissioner of the WVIAC was respected by practically every coach and media person in the state. At the end of the tournament every year, as he announced the names of the all-tournament team, you knew you had witnessed something special.RON "FRITZ" WILLIAMS - The former Weirton High and WVU star may be the Mountaineers most underrated star. There is a statue of West. There soon will be one of Hundley. There should be one of "Fritz", the Mountaineers' first black basketball star who helped integrate the program at a crucial time in school history. Many consider him the player who built the WVU Coliseum, even though he never played there.LAWRENCE "PREACH" WISEMAN - One of several Beckley coaching legends, along with Jerome Van Meter and Dave Barksdale, Wiseman sometimes gets overlooked. He guided the Flying Eagles to glory and state titles in the 1960s and '70s.MARK WORKMAN - One of the greatest basketball players in our state's history, one of the state's rare post players, Workman was a star at Charleston High and an All-American at WVU. For years, his large picture was the first thing you saw when you walked in the old CHS.

Hello, I just stumbled upon this and I've very excited and interested in the project. I had read that AK Press or PM Press was doing a translation, but couldn't find any more information about it.ReplyDelete
Recently, I've been trying to read all of Bakunin's work that is translated into english as well as secondary material on Bakunin. Unfortunately, I don't read/speak French (or any other language) and only have limited access to Bakunin's entire works. So, I'm very exited about his entire work being translated into english.
I apologize if you say this else where on this site, but are you still looking for assistance in terms of english readers? I'm not sure what assistance, if any, I could lend, but I'm interested.

Aquinas introduced Matt LeZotte as its new football coach on Wednesday.
LeZotte, an assistant coach at Aquinas the last two seasons, replaces Bill Tenore, who is leaving for the head football position at his alma mater in Ohio.
LeZotte, 27, is a former standout quarterback at Westside High School and James Madison University. He will be the youngest public-school head coach in the area next fall.
I have an unbelievably desire to be successful, and I want to teach that to all the players here, said LeZotte, who played quarterback on James Madisons 2004 Division I-AA national title team.

hey guys... so here is my story...
i´m here in Chile right now... and i want to start as soon as possible. BUT i´ve been met with several brick walls:
the 1st- i´m a Canadian wanting to travel to Brazil 1st, so when i went to book my plane ticket they told me that i will need a touring visa to enter Brazil as a Canadian and the only way to get one is if you have proof of a round trip flight, and it will take 5 buisness days to get it once you have that proof!
BUT- I want to land in Rio and then bus it back to Chile by land. I planned on travelling through Brazil and then going to Argentina and going to the south of Chile.
SO- Now i´m stuck. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO
ALTHOUGH- I am waiting for my Chilean ID (both my parents are from Chile) so i am getting my citizenship but not i have another problem... the government services office that ministers the ID and Passports ect. went on strike today HURRAY!
When i was met with the the other problems by travelling as a Canadian i planned on just travelling with my Chilean ID becuase no passport is needed. I delayed my trip til i got my ID which was suppose to be this Friday but it looks like that is NOT happening....
has anyone met this problem before?
now i was thinking of going to Argentina then bussing it through, will i still need a visa as a Canadian?
does anyone have any advise what so ever!!???
thank you so much guys

deadmau5, Tommy Lee & Former Mythbuster Give Us A Lesson In Rocket Science [VIDEO]
In the midst of the 2015 Gumball 3000 supercar rally, deadmau5 decided to take a little detour to hang out with founding member of 80s heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, Tommy Lee, and former MythBusters crew member Tory Belleci. In the spontaneous-spirit of MythBusters, the three went on a fireworks shopping spree and headed out to the desert for a little science lesson. Possibly the best part of the clip is when deadmau5 has a solo slow-motion moment at the very end.
Watch the firework frenzy courtesy of deadmau5 and friends below...
