Pacers' Harrison injures his knee
1st-round draft pick sprains medial collateral ligament.
Pacers first-round draft pick David Harrison sprained his left knee during a summer league game.
By Sekou Smith
July 22, 2004
SALT LAKE CITY -- Indiana Pacers first-round draft pick David Harrison sprained his left knee during an 88-84 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday in the Rocky Mountain Revue.
Harrison, a 7-foot center, suffered a Grade 1 sprain of the medial collateral ligament, according to coach Rick Carlisle.
"David had a very productive week here in Utah," Carlisle said. "We'll know more after he has an MRI, but we do not expect this to be a serious injury that keeps him off the floor for an extended period of time."
Harrison is scheduled to fly to Indianapolis this morning to be examined by the Pacers' medical staff. Harrison will not return to the Pacers' summer league team, which has games remaining today and Saturday.
Harrison was injured with 7:37 remaining in the third quarter. After a timeout, he returned to the court and finished the game with 22 points and three rebounds.

We fought back. We showed signs of aggression. But the bottom line is, we lost. —BYU forward Brandon Davies
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — From the outset, it was clear that BYU could be in for a long 40 minutes at the Barclays Center against Florida State.
The Cougars turned the ball over on their first three possessions. They were without forward Brandon Davies, who picked up two early fouls, for a big stretch in the first half. And while BYU shot a woeful 33 percent from the floor, the Seminoles scorched the nets, shooting 58 percent, including 11 of 20 from 3-point range.
That explains how Florida State tomahawk-chopped BYU, 88-70, in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic semifinals Friday.
"The story of the night for us was we got in early foul trouble and we never really got in sync offensively," BYU coach Dave Rose said. "I don't know if we could have gotten off to a worse start."
While BYU (2-1) suffered its first defeat of the season, it has a chance to earn its first win away from home Saturday (5 p.m. MST, truTV) when the Cougars play No. 20 Notre Dame (2-1). The Fighting Irish fell to Saint Joseph's, 79-70, in Friday's nightcap at the Barclays Center.
"It's a disappointing loss for us," Rose said. "Hopefully we can play better and bounce back (Saturday)."
BYU's bad start was the opposite of the Cougars' previous game, when the Cougars grabbed a 31-2 lead at home against Georgia State.
"It really affected the flow of things and the way we play," Davies said of the early fouls. "We like to start off quick and get a lot of easy points early and we weren't able to do that. I personally feel like I let my team down."
With Davies languishing on the bench — he left the floor with 18:23 left in the first half — guard Tyler Haws did everything he could to keep BYU in the game.
"It's huge when we lose Brandon," Haws said.
Haws scored the Cougars' first 11 points, and finished with a game-high 23 points on 10-of-20 shooting from the field. He also recorded nine rebounds, five assists and three steals.
"Everyone was looking for a spark, and I tried to give that," Haws said. "I think at times we were playing really well together and looking like ourselves. At other times, we didn't look like ourselves. It felt like we weren't in our rhythm at all. I was scoring, but it didn't feel right. We finally got going, but it was a little too late."
Going into the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic semifinals, BYU knew all about Florida State's vexing defense.
What the Cougars didn't see coming was the exceptional shooting by the Seminoles (2-1). Guards Michael Snaer, Ian Miller and Devon Bookert combined to hit 9 of 14 from 3-point range. To compound matters, BYU allowed four and-one opportunities in the first half.
"Florida State has a lot of good shooters so one thing we tried to key in on was to get up in their faces and not let them have open shots," said guard Craig Cusick. "They did a good job, though, of driving to the basket and then kicking it out and by then they had open shots. They executed their game plan so well."
Meanwhile, BYU's Matt Carlino was 0 of 9 from the field. The Cougars shot a woeful 6 of 25 from beyond the arc as part of their 33-percent shooting.
"We shot 33 percent from the field. That's a number that really surprises all of our coaches and it surprises our players. Give Florida State a lot of credit. They sped us up and hurried us into quick shots," Rose said. "Besides that fact, Florida State shoots 58 percent from the field. Our defense was a little bit slow. Our rotations were slow. They did a great job of finding the open man. They attacked us pretty good. I can't fault the effort of our guys. We had 22 offensive rebounds. We had a lot of offensive rebounds to give because we missed a lot of shots."
When Davies returned to the floor with 9:31 remaining in the first half, he scored six straight points to pull BYU to within three, 31-28. Davies ended up scoring 19 points in 21 minutes of action.
The Cougars tied the score at 34 with four minutes left in the half, but Florida State finished with a flurry, going on a 10-2 burst, including a 3-pointer just before the halftime buzzer.
"That little run at the end of the first half, we'll probably kick ourselves a little bit," Rose said.
In the second half, FSU's 3-point shooting barrage continued. Meanwhile, Davies picked up his third and fourth fouls within 26 seconds of each other.
With nine minutes remaining, the Cougars trailed by 27 points.
BYU whittled the deficit to 14, at 84-70, with two minutes left, but it couldn't get any closer.
"We fought back. We showed signs of aggression," Davies said. "But the bottom line is we lost."
There were positive things that the Cougars can take from the setback, according to Rose.
"The fact that Tyler was able to make positive offensive plays for us is a real plus," he said. "We need to find more consistency in our offensive game. As inconsistent as our offensive game was, we're a lot better defensive team than that. They kind of exposed us. We need to do a way better job defensively."

The shift to digital devices and lightning-fast information from things other than books hasn't left public libraries in the dust, as some have predicted.
A new report by the Pew Research Internet Project, released on Friday, March 14, shows that information omnivores and tech-savvy patrons love and rely on their libraries.
In the third of a series of Pew reports about the changing role of libraries in America in the digital age, Pew says:
Both of those groups tend to be better educated, have higher incomes and are more involved in social and cultural activities than people less engaged in libraries.
According to the Pew study:

Bradley in the News: Dietetic program commences at BU
July 18, 2011
By Dave Haney, Peoria Journal Star
Three years after Bradley University saw its first group of students complete its doctoral physical therapy program, another Bradley health-centered program holds its first graduation.
Ten students, the first to go through Bradley's dietetic internship program established a year ago, received their certificates over the weekend. College officials say it's another example of the central Illinois private college gaining recognition, not just in the health career field, but notice nationally.
Amanda Newell, director of the dietetic internship program, said hundreds of students from across the country are applying to similar programs nationwide.
"It's really a competitive field because a lot of people are interested in nutrition; only about 50 percent of students are getting placed," Newell said of the nationwide statistics.
Of the 10 students accepted at Bradley, only three were already on campus - four had attended undergraduate studies out of state and three students were at other Illinois institutions.
"I think it brings us recognition throughout the nation. We've got students coming from all over," Newell said, "and from our program's standpoint, we have students in a didactic program at Bradley, so it brings them recognition too."
Students must have completed an accredited program in dietetics, usually done in undergraduate studies, and enroll in an approved dietetic internship before they are eligible to take a nationalized test, which they must pass before ultimately becoming a registered dietician.
The Bradley program, which places its focus on wellness and can accept only 10 students at a time, includes 12 weeks of clinical practice, five weeks in community-based programs, six weeks in food service and eight weeks involved in wellness programs. Students were placed with dieticians and nutritionists at places including Heartland Community Clinic, Caterpillar Inc. headquarters, Bel-Wood Nursing Home, Valeska Hinton Early Education Center, the University of Illinois Extension and Hy-Vee. Each student is required to devise and implement their own research project.
OSF Saint Francis Medical Center also has a dietetic internship program.
Jill Borst, 24, of Faribault, Minn., one of the graduates through the Bradley internship program, said her research project at a local clinic compared the long-term blood sugar levels of Type-2 diabetics and the primary care information they received, whether it was from a nurse or whether a dietician also was involved.
Allison Tallyn, a nutrition graduate from the University of California-Davis, said she studied weight management compared to the nutrition and activities offered at a local nursing home.
"We were given a lot of opportunity to take our own interest into the education and the research project," Tallyn said, adding each student received individual faculty advisors. "I don't think a lot of other programs offer that kind of opportunity."

This video made the rounds earlier this week but I didn't press play. This morning I clicked and oh yeah this is amazing. Someone put an electronic soundtrack to the classic Road Runner cartoon. They did such a good job. The acid Warner Brothers intro alone is just so great.
"Consider the recursion of Coyote, who never eats, but only considers eating, ad infinitum. This barren, craggy, dry universe is more like a Mandlebrot purgatory with an endless supply of Acme weapon products which can't function predictably, or whose proper function can't be apprehended by Coyote.
Every ravine, every rocky outcrop, every national road that splices the desert is generated anew each time Coyote is forced not to die – his bones regenerate, his cardiac arrests are all false. He can be skinned alive a million times a million times.
This routine unravels from a spool that was never wound. Is this because of artifice that such toil is even noticeable? Why contrive a purgatory like this when heaven can be imagined? Or would every heaven ever dreamt only appear as purgatory to enlightened eyes?" – sssnacksss

Thief steals smartphone, uploads pics of himself on victim's Facebook
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Cell Phones, Internet
Another example of a thief not understanding technology. A man was arrested for allegedly stealing a fifteen-year-old girl's smartphone at knife point, and then inadvertently uploaded a picture of himself on the victim's Facebook account. According to the girl's police report, she was playing with her younger brother at the playground when two men approached and stole her smartphone. As always, practice "out of sight of out mind" and know your surroundings, as small mobile electronics are high on thieves hit list.

Ukiah Daily Journal
Fight leads to three arrests
Three men were arrested Sunday after officers responded to a report of several people involved in a fight, the Ukiah Police Department reported.
According to the UPD, officers responded to the 300 block of Hastings Avenue shortly before 4:30 p.m. Jan. 6. When they arrived, they reportedly saw two men fighting, one of whom was holding a knife.
The suspect with the knife, identified as Elwood D. Hayes, 52, of Redding, was asked repeatedly to drop the knife, and when he refused to do so, officers used a Taser on him.
Both Hayes and the other man, identified as Billy M. Eaton, 53, of Ukiah, were reportedly drunk and had "significant facial injuries," but both claimed they had fallen while riding bicycles.
Both men were arrested on suspicion of being drunk and fighting in public. Officers later discovered Eaton had been stabbed in the side, but he refused to give a statement, and they are pursuing charges of assault with a deadly weapon against Hayes.
Another officer responding to the scene spoke with two people leaving the area, including a man who was reportedly "extremely intoxicated" and began to walk away despite being told not to.
The man, identified as Waylon E. Pickett, 28, of Ukiah, was taken into custody after reportedly trying to physically resist and yelling profanities at the officer. Pickett was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public and resisting arrest.
All three suspects were booked into Mendocino County Jail.
JC Penney's clerk arrested on suspicion of embezzlement
A Ukiah woman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly stealing from the store where she worked, the Ukiah Police Department reported.
According to the UPD, officers responded to J.C. Penney's on North Orchard Avenue at 1 p.m. Jan. 8 when it was reported that one of the employees had embezzled.
Officers learned that Mindy D. Pratt, 20, of Ukiah, had allegedly taken more than $1,000 cash from the store's registers in recent weeks and had recently taken a $300 gift card without paying for it.
Pratt was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement and grand theft.

The new Socializer design.
The old one.
It's mainly an aesthetic and layout update, but I would love to hear comments about anything and everything. Suggestions for improvement are also welcome
Thank you!
Posted 21 February 2007 - 06:09 PM
I like the changes that you've made, though I have a concern about the layout of the page (actually true for both versions).
When I view the new page, in the window of my monitor, I see the icons for the different services and the ad - and the ad looks like it is the bottom of the page. I don't know if you get many new visitors who look at the page, and don't scroll down.
I understand why you want all of the icons in the same window view if possible, but I think that there needs to be a clear way of signally to visitors that there is explanatory text after the icons.
The links in the top right(about, etc.) were good additions, too.
Are there any changes to the code itself? I ask because I think that when people see "Socializer 2.0" that they will also be asking. Better for me to ask once, than many people to ask many times.
Posted 21 February 2007 - 06:25 PM
Thanks for your comments. You're absolutely right that there isn't a clear signal there is more content below the fold. I'm open for ideas for how to do this. My gut reaction is to add a little sentence to say "Scroll down for help" above the first batch of icons.
As for updates in the code: yes, but nothing visible yet. There is a whole new set of features in developement as part of this update. I won't say much now, except to say, there is plenty of new code It does deserve a 2.0 label...
Thanks again!
Posted 21 February 2007 - 06:37 PM
New code sounds good.

Posted 21 February 2007 - 07:52 PM
It's a nice change - much cleaner than before; and I agree with Bill that those links in the top right are a good addition.
Posted 23 February 2007 - 10:48 AM
I still see some missing spaces -- at "MesFavs", "Spurl", "del.icio.us" and "Netscape". I know, I'm picky. But I tend to pick up on that and it always bothers me
I hate giving you advice on this since I know you already know all of what I'm going to say, but anyway -- it looks like you have your lists hard coded, perhaps even in HTML (missing spaces here / there). As a programmer, I've learned that anything done more than twice deserves to be put into a "loop" and not done manually. I would propose that you put the URLs, the icons and the names into arrays and let the PHP page put them together properly. That way you can just add new services, update URLs or names, move them up / down programatically. Run tests - move a random service from the bottom up top, etc -- no HTML coding involved, just change a number in the code or better yet, in the database.
Something else that ... bothers me ... but won't bug any normal user: you're using rel=nofollows to link and it's highlighting the links in my browser (you probably have the same installed, which SEO-geek doesn't ). You're already blocking the page from being indexed, you don't need those rel=nofollows in there.
If you want to leave them there, I suggest one of the following:
1. Build the links with javascript (kind of iffy....)
2. Code with rel=nofollow but use javascript to remove them as the page is loaded (kind of sneaky)
3. Just use normal links and make sure that search engines can really never read the page (ie check user-agent/IP and return 500 for them)
I would do the last -- or the second if you feel sneaky. It's easy to add an onload-handler that will go through the links and remove the rel=nofollow attribute on the fly, that will make the links look straight but they'll still be blocked. On the other hand, maybe that's just going tooo far - just drop the nofollows.
The rel=nofollow is something that only a handful of the users will ever notice, but the SEO types are sometimes responsible to implement your script on their sites and they might be worried about something like that if it always highlights in pink with a red dotted border (at least that's my setting). Also, you never know when a browser like Firefox will start highlighting nofollow'ed links by default: to show the user that those links are not to be trusted (if I had my way, that's what it would be doing, but that's another subject).
One thing I'm also not so sure about ... is the design of the logo text/graphic ... it looks very "simplicic", it seems (to me -- as an absolute non-designer) to be lacking a bit of polish, a dash of "power". I really can't put it into words (and again, I am an engineer not a designer ).
I hope it helps! I really like the new design!
PS any reason you're not including Slashdot?
PPS how about a simple way for the users to suggest other "social" sites? That way they would keep you informed instead of you having to notice that there are new sites out there. Perhaps a last link with "Your favorite site" that leads to a feedback form.
Posted 07 March 2007 - 04:46 AM
1. The links are still hard-coded. There is (was) a reason for that, but it will go into a database/loop soon I did take a look at the spacing issue and I thought I fixed it. Not too stressed about it as it will be re-coded anyway.
2. Logo design: I know, but I can't place my finger on it either. Keep an eye out though - you never know when it will change
Posted 08 March 2007 - 02:21 AM
Nice idea.
Your new design already looks a lot better than the old one.
I would strongly suggest to left align the text - not aligning it makes it look untidy and unreadable.
Why is the text above the banner not aligned with the banner. Either center or left align the banner, but at the moment it is just floating.
Also try adding line seperators (grey, thin 1 px) as this will seperate the text and make it more readable.
My initial impression of the page was to click out as there was too much going on - too much text and not readable.
Try cutting down the text and tidy the page up a bit. Remember, web writing is short and to the point - people make up their mind about your site in the first 2 seconds - most people will click out before taking 2 minutes to read what your site is about.
Just my 2c.
Posted 21 March 2007 - 06:46 PM
Also the light blue of your headers doesn't break up the paragraphs well enough.
The logo is a huge improvement though!
Posted 06 April 2007 - 11:33 AM
I didnt give you any feedback on your site earlier, because I wanted to play with your functionality first. Finally able to do so and I really like the service.
I'm just starting some blog and article marketing for a client and will be using Socializer 2.0 a lot.
Only real suggestion I can make is this: Your functionality page and main page are one in the same... Imagine you are doing this to build traffic and page rank. If so, you might or might not like the suggestion below. Or maybe you can still accomplish both somehow
I think your 'Function page', the one hit when someone clicks a Socializer link in a site or blog, should go to a smaller, cleaner page for the selection of the service. I mocked up what I was thinking below:

Senior Capt. John Morrison gripped the classic spoked wooden wheel of the tall ship the Hawaiian Chieftain for a photograph, with a foggy Noyo Bridge in the background.
The vessel had just completed an uneventful voyage from San Francisco, powered by big diesel engines. And then a hair-raising entrance through the tiny opening of Noyo Harbor, to dock at Silver's at the Wharf. The towering ship's keel extends only 5 feet deep, but it's extra wide, almost too wide to enter the harbor.
"I believe it's the narrowest entrance of any navigable harbor on the West Coast," he said.
Because of the narrowness of the harbor, plus the weather, Adventure Sails with the public planned for Saturday and Sunday were canceled. Instead the ship will be available through Sunday for guided tours by trained mariner docents, dressed in period costumes.
The grand wooden ship looks to be centuries old from the distance. It was actually built in the 1980s, partly as a thrilling, working salute to the grand days of sailing ships and partly to explore a more local and sustainable future.
The Chieftain's original purpose was to carry cargo between the Hawaiian Islands, challenging a trend for bigger and bigger cargo ships in favor of a talent to enter almost any harbor, no matter how shallow. And yet the design of the hull is authentic late 1700s Baltic trader, said Morrison.
"It was designed as a real jack of all trades," said Morrison.
The past-future dichotomy is evident everywhere one looks and has inspired owner after owner of the unique steel-hulled wooden-masted historical interpretation.
It could have come from San Francisco by sail. The rigging is an authentic reproduction of an 18th century vessel. Other aspects reflect the 19th century. The vessel can do some impressive things for the 21st century, thanks to its triple keels, such as sit proudly on a sandbar and wait for the tide, rather than running aground. The Chieftain is 103 feet long with a main mast 75 feet tall.
Naval architect Raymond H. Richards' design for Hawaiian Chieftain was influenced by the early colonial passenger and coastal packets that traded among Atlantic coastal cities and towns. The coastal packet service was part of the coasting trade based on mercantile activity of the developing seaboard towns.
Dusty Dillion, a member of the Noyo Harbor Commission was responsible for bringing the Chieftain to Noyo Harbor, as part of his vision to revive the economic possibilities of the harbor. The early packet ships were regular traders and were selected because they sailed remarkably well and could enter small ports with their shallow draft.
This was a tip of the hat by the free-thinking original designers to the economic potential of places being overlooked by global free trade.
Hawaiian Chieftain was commissioned by Laurence H. "Baron" Dorcy Jr., and constructed by Drake Thomas, owner of Lahaina Welding Co., Ltd. on the island of Maui for trade and display among the Hawaiian Islands beginning in 1988. A few years later, it was purchased by Capt. Ian MacIntyre of Central Coast Charters in Sausalito.
In 1996, Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority formed a partnership with Central Coast Charters. In fall 2004, Hawaiian Chieftain was sold to Wolverine Motorworks of Fall River, Mass., and she was renamed Spirit of Larinda. GHHSA purchased the vessel back in October 2005.
Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority uses the ship for educational purposes and also to help people envision what is possible, based on what happened in the past. There are mock battles and adventure sails on the Pacific Coast.
Public tours
Hawaiian Chieftain has scheduled a number of one-hour and three-hour K-12 education programs on April 10 and 11 for schools in Fort Bragg, Ukiah, Point Arena and Rohnert Park.
The Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District's Interactive Underwater Program will perform its inaugural public dive near Hawaiian Chieftain on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon. Divers will stream live video and audio feeds to monitors on dry land for guests to view.
The ship specializes in hands-on living history education programs for the public and K-12 students. She is also chartered for special events, film productions and an occasional wedding. During most of the year, she travels with the brig Lady Washington, the official ship of the state of Washington.
The Chieftain will join its sister ship on April 15 in Eureka, where there will be voyages offered.

POMONA — Police are using all available resources to address the recent spike in violent crime, Police Chief Dave Keetle said Thursday.
"We're doing the best we can with what we've got," he said.
Keetle, who has been chief since October 2009, said the Police Department has been deploying officers to crime hot spots. The department has also sought the help of law enforcement from around the region.
And while he said residents can safely move about the city, some of them have expressed fear of becoming new victims.
The city has seen an increase in crime in March. Four homicides have occurred and at least four people have been wounded in shooting incidents.
Some of the homicides have been attributed to friction between gangs or to racial motivation, but Keetle said investigators have nothing to substantiate either theory.
Some cases have ties to gang activity but overall, the cases are "not random acts of violence," he said. "People should be reassured that they're safe in their day-to-day activities."
But since Kelly Jacinto-Burian's killing on March 7, neighbors have speculated the shootings may be racially motivated.
"There have been problems between the blacks and the Latinos here," said a man who lives on Ninth Street near the site of this month's first fatal shooting. "That's nothing new, but now it seems like people are being targeted."
He said fear of retaliation is on everyone's mind.
Keetle said a key to solving many of the crimes is public involvement. The public can help anonymously through WeTip, by calling 800-78-CRIME, or through Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS. Crime Stoppers can also be reached by texting TIPLA with the tip to 274637 or CRIMES.
After a consistent decline in crime, the city has experienced a spike that makes the increase all the more noticeable, the chief said.
"It garners more attention because it is out of the norm. I do think it's an indication that things are better and safer than they were," he said.
In 1989, the city had 44 homicides, according to department statistics. In 1999, the number dropped to 29 and continued falling to 11 in 2011 – the lowest in the nearly 30 years Keetle has been with the department. This year, however, there have already been seven homicides.
Addressing crime involves many steps, the chief said.
"True crime prevention is a long-term approach," Keetle said. "You have to change the culture, the mind-set over time to change crime."
That involves prevention efforts such as DARE, officers in schools and the Gang Resistance Education and Training Program. School resource officers and youth services personnel reach other youth when they may be engaging in minor crimes such as tagging, he said.
"Such programs make a difference and change the direction youth are heading," Keetle said. "You try to head them off at that point and try to give them positive direction."
Crime-prevention programs for all ages can work in conjunction with such organizations as the Pomona Valley YMCA, the Boys & Girls Club of Pomona Valley and the city's recreation programs, he said.
Enforcement or suppression is important but it doesn't change mind-sets, he said.
The chief noted that the economic downturn has had an effect on the funding available for all public services.
In 2008, Pomona had 200 sworn officers and 151 civilian employees. Those numbers have dropped to 163 sworn personnel and 102 civilian employees.
The youth services unit used to have five sworn personnel and now it has one; school resource officers, who are paid for with the help of Pomona Unified School District, went from four to two; the Neighborhood Watch program had six community service officers and one person who handled the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. Now, Neighborhood Watch has four people.
The Gang Violence Suppression Program had two six-person teams but has been reduced to one team.
Three officers used to be assigned to patrol downtown. That's down to two with half of the funding coming from the Downtown Pomona Owners Association. The association also provides private security.
Rather than cutting many of the department programs, they were scaled back, Keetle said.
"That's why," he said, he has tried to keep "some semblance of those programs and bring them back when the city has the capability. "

Jones' 21st homer quick to give O's lift vs. Halos
Two-run blast in first inning helps support Gausman's solid outing
BALTIMORE -- There are some statistics in baseball that are unexplainable -- the result of the sport's inherent factors of chance in a never satisfyingly large sample size.
Adam Jones can't pinpoint a reason for his abundance of first-inning home runs -- the latest of which sparked the Orioles to a 4-3 win against the Angels on Wednesday night -- even if manager Buck Showalter thinks "that fits." What it does do, is set the tone for the offense and relieve some of the burden off the starting pitcher.
"It makes it a little more comfortable," Jones said. "Doesn't matter how you get across any runs, but if you are able to get some runs across early, I think it allows the starting pitcher to breathe, especially young guys that we have on our team."
Jones' home run -- his second first-inning shot in as many nights and 11th in the first frame this season -- gave the O's (60-46) an early lead for the second straight game at Camden Yards. With seven solid innings from rookie pitcher Kevin Gausman and some spectacular defense, the Orioles notched their seventh win in nine games.
Baltimore, which has lost just one of its last nine series, is now 14 games above .500 for the first time since July 22, 2013, and stays 2 1/2 games ahead of the Blue Jays in the American League East standings.
"The second half of the season is where you need to win series," Jones said. "You try to go out and just try to sweep everybody, and it ain't going to happen. You need to win series."
Jones didn't waste time putting the Orioles in a position to do that. With a runner on first, he drilled a first-pitch, 97-mph fastball by Garrett Richards over the left-field wall for his 21st home run of the season.
"Right now, if we're making a mistake to him, he isn't missing," Halos manager Mike Scioscia said.
With two more runs in the fourth inning, on David Lough's RBI double and Ryan Flaherty's RBI single, the Orioles became the second straight team to score four runs off Richards (11-4) after the right-hander allowed that many runs just twice in his first 20 starts.
Richards lasted seven innings, allowing the four runs on six hits and four strikeouts -- his fewest since a June 9 win against the Athletics.
For 4 2/3 innings opposite a potential AL Cy Young Award candidate, Gausman was perfect and the defense buzzed behind him. Nick Markakis kept the perfect game alive with a diving grab to end the third. Manny Machado made an incredible throw from foul territory to snuff out a potential infield single by Albert Pujols in the fourth.
With two outs in the fifth, Gausman walked the bases loaded and allowed a pair of run scoring hits to plate all three Angels' runs.
Gausman settled down after the frustrating frame and allowed just one more hit in his final two innings. Once again, the Orioles' bullpen shut the door.
Darren O'Day struck out two batters in a perfect eighth inning and Zach Britton shut the door for his 21st save with a one-hit ninth.
"I have confidence that Darren's going to go in and do his job, and I'm confident that I can go in there and give us a good chance to win," Britton said.
And for the final out of the game, it was Machado's defense again. The third baseman charged a slow ground ball and fired a strike to get Howie Kendrick out at first to end the game.
"The league knows we play good defense and I don't think it's underrated anymore," Jones said. "This team can pick it. I don't want to jinx us. We can really play some defense and we understand the value of it."

OKLAHOMA CITY—The NHL's decision to cancel all games in November means that, for at least another month, the man at the helm of the top professional hockey league in North America is David Andrews, the president of the American Hockey League.
Andrews was at the Cox Convention Center on Friday night to present the league's Player of the Week award to Oklahoma City Barons defenseman Justin Schultz, and to watch what might be the most exciting team in his league thanks to the fact that the Edmonton Oilers could send their young stars, namely Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Schultz, to the AHL during the lockout.
— Hall on the way? Oilers standout could join mates in OKC next week
While the NHL's loss is the AHL's gain, the AHL also needs the NHL's support, and continues to serve as a developmental league. That puts Andrews in a unique position as far as the NHL lockout is concerned. Sporting News talked to Andrews about where the league stands now, and more.
SPORTING NEWS: How is it going for the league? Is the NHL lockout providing as much of a boost as you'd expect?
DAVID ANDREWS: I think it is, especially in terms of exposure for the league from a media perspective, and with a national television opportunity in Canada every weekend, and taking a lot of those games back to the U.S. and to Europe. It's really a great opportunity for us, and one we need to take advantage of gracefully. We'll do the best we can to grow our game, and grow the awareness of our league.
Our attendance is up—we've had the strongest start we've had, ever, in the first weekend and second weekend. Normally, this time of the year is a slower period, from the time we open up until about U.S. Thanksgiving, then it starts to take off. We're seeing heightened interest, for sure, in a lot of markets—particularly those that are in NHL general markets, like Chicago. Our area of New England is doing particularly well, as well as Hamilton (Ontario) and Rochester. It's been good for us.
— Lost causes: In one small Oklahoma town, apathy rules
SN: What do you need to do, once the NHL comes back, to build on what you get out of this?
DA: Part of it is really about awareness of the league, and having fans that come in to sample our league, treat them properly, build our databases, and follow up from the business point of view. I think, from a marketing perspective, it's all about brand awareness, and the perception of hockey fans of what our league is. When you get an opportunity like this, you can raise that perception and it will have a lasting effect.
I came to this league in '94—that was my first year. We really put our league on the map between October and January that year (during another NHL lockout). It was a tremendous opportunity for us. ESPN2 was starting back then, and we were able to get games on there. Then, in '04-05 (the last lockout), we had a huge jump in terms of perception of our league. It's not just awareness, it's perception of how good the league really is. We can throw those stats out there about having half of our players playing in both leagues each year, which they do—325 players in our league last year also played in the NHL. It's not something new to have an NHL player in the league. They're back and forth all year long. A lot of people don't realize how competitive the league is. We're getting new fans out, and it's easy to hold onto them when you've got a good product.
When the NHL comes back, we'll compete for hockey fans, and we compete with the NHL on television. One thing I believe is true is that when you see our attendance go up during a lockout, it's not NHL season-ticket holders or NHL corporate ticket holders, it's people who ordinarily watch NHL games on TV and don't have the opportunity, so they want to see it live. You hope to make an impression on those folks, provide them with a great experience, and get them to come back.
SN: You've had a few outdoor games over the past couple of years, including one with the Winter Classic last year, Hershey and Adirondack. Is that something you want to continue to do, regardless of what the NHL does?
DA: We, as a league, haven't set out to have an annual game, but last year we had the one in Philadelphia, and one in Hamilton that was sold out, and on national TV (in Canada), and had great ratings. The Hartford one (in 2011) probably was the weakest one we've had, because the weather was so bad (cold and windy). What started as a good crowd ended as about 2,500 people because it was so cold. The first one we had was in Syracuse, and that was a huge success. This year, Hershey is hosting an outdoor game, celebrating their 75th anniversary, and that will be against Wilkes-Barre, so that should be a good one. I think, on a regional level, these don't get old, so long as you don't do them in the same place every year. The opportunities are there to host them, it's good for the league. These are special platforms that allow us to grow the game and celebrate the game.
We're also scheduled to play an outdoor game with the Winter Classic again, in Detroit. Assuming that the Winter Classic goes forward, we've got Grand Rapids playing the Toronto Marlies.
SN: Is the biggest difference between your job and Gary Bettman's job the labor part?
DA: I have to do it, too. I just don't have to do it in as big a way. We have a collective bargaining agreement with our players association that we have to negotiate every three or four years. They're just not at the same magnitude, or close to the same magnitude, of what Gary has to deal with.
SN: Do you think, at least at that level, that hockey could use some separation between the guy who's running the league, and the hockey part of it, and the labor relations side of it? And how have you found it in your job?
DA: That's difficult to address. In my job, my background is much different from Gary's. I came from the hockey side of the business, as a player, and a coach, and a general manager in the American League, and into this position. I kind of learned the business side as I went along, whereas Gary brought all of that with him—a very strong background on the legal side, obviously with the NBA and his leadership there.
I don't know—someone has to take the lead role, and I think he's surrounded with good people, and he's got a business to take responsibility for. I don't know how you would separate it. It's so hard to compare the responsibilities. We work very closely with them, and I have a lot of respect for the challenges that they have. I think, in terms of the challenges we have, it's probably far easier for me to maintain relationships and build relationships amongst all of our stakeholders than it is for Gary, because you do want to address the labor relations issue. For us, our economics are more closely tied to our arrangements with NHL teams than with the players association. My job is much more on the counseling side between 30 NHL teams and 30 AHL teams than with the players association.
When it's time to work with the players association, we do, and we've built a good relationship where they try to help us to grow our league and grow the game.
SN: You have hybrid icing this year. It's not the first time you've tetsted rules for the NHL. How is this one going?
DA: Perfect. I have had nothing but positive feedback from coaches, from players, from scouts. It's going really well. We're going to evaluate it on Nov. 19, when we meet with the competition committee, and we'll get feedback from NHL general managers, but I expect we'll leave it in for the rest of the year.
SN: Long term, could you see a world in which there is, similar to European leagues, promotion and relegation, between NHL and AHL, and what would have to happen?
DA: I couldn't even imagine it, simply because of the economics involved between the two leagues. We moved one of our markets into the NHL—we didn't move them, but the Winnipeg Jets, we had the Manitoba Moose in the same ownership, same building, almost the same coaching staff. Could it be done? Yes, but very few of our markets could sustain the NHL cost structure.
SN: And there probably aren't many NHL teams that would ever be up for participating in that system.
DA: It's pretty hard to tell your fan base that you're going to go play in the American League now. You'd probably have to change your season-ticket prices a little bit.

Young's rising walk total reflects focus at plate
PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Young played a critical role in the Phillies' 5-3 victory Friday against the Reds.
He hit a two-out triple to score Cliff Lee in the fifth inning to give the Phillies a three-run lead. He then turned a 10-pitch at-bat in the eighth inning into his third walk of the game, which sparked a two-run rally.
Young has walked 22 times this season, which is tied for seventh in the National League. His .399 on-base percentage is eighth.
Young walked just 33 times last season. He walked a career-high 58 times in 2005.
"I've made an effort to really make sure I lock into the strike zone," Young said. "Right now the walks are up. Last year they were probably really low for me, too. I don't necessarily think last year was indicative of how much I've walked. I've never really walked a ton of times in my career, but the goal is still the same: get a good pitch to hit and hit it as hard as I possibly can. But at the same time, if there's something outside the strike zone, I don't want to bite on it."
Young, who has grounded into 10 double plays to tie for the league lead with St. Louis' Matt Holliday, has shown a little more power recently, too. He had just four extra-base hits in his first 95 at-bats through May 1, but has five in his last 41.

Braintree Town boss Alan Devonshire feels the pressure will be on Gateshead rather than his team as the race for the Skrill Premier play-offs reaches its climax tomorrow.
The north east side sit in the box seat of the race for the top-five after the Easter weekend matches, with the Iron just outside in sixth spot. Following their 1-1 draw at Barnet on Monday, Braintree are three points behind Gateshead, who face Cambridge in their final outing, and have a two-goal inferior goal difference.
But while it is his team who have to do all the running as they host Grimsby in their last game of the season at the Amlin Stadium tomorrow (kick-off 5.30pm), Devonshire feels the pressure is on the side in possession of the top-five position already.
He said: "All the pressure is on Gateshead, there's none on us.
"They know they have to get the result or they could lose the position they hold.
"It's in their hands."
See the paper this week for the full version of this story and for five pages of Braintree Town news and views ahead of tomorrow's big game.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.

Patriot's Paradise
This New England charter aboard Sovereign is a glimpse into America's past—and what it means for our future.
Story and Photography by Kim Kavin — October 2004
Hope and freedom. Terror and justice. The American spirit.
These phrases are saturating our airwaves as the Presidential election draws near. They are meant to tug at something deep in our souls, something that reaches up and out to pull that ballot booth lever. An intelligent choice cannot be made without a reckoning of lessons past, and there is perhaps no better place for rumination than Massachusetts. It's where the Pilgrims landed, where Paul Revere rode, where the independent spirit refuses to yield.
It also happens to be a lovely cruising area, especially in and around Boston. Within about 30 miles, you have the city's waterfront skyline, Marblehead's quaint cottages, and fleets of third-generation lobstermen on Massachusetts Bay. A week here on a boat means little fuel, lots of scenery, and plenty of history to capture your heart and mind.
Many charter guests forgo this part of New England in favor of the "milk run," which may start in Boston but quickly veers to Martha's Vineyard, Newport, and New York's Sag Harbor. That's a shame, I learned during a recent Boston-area charter aboard the Broward Sovereign. Her captain, Tom Hartman, is a native of the North Shore, and he introduced me to a vacation experience as much about learning as about lounging. Of course, Sovereign has all the watertoys and sunpads other yachts do, but in this part of America, she also offers the chance for reflection. As Hartman says, "It's a little bit of history instead of just going to Nantucket because everybody else goes to Nantucket."
In fact, it's the perfect charter for families. Though she's only 120 feet long, Sovereign takes 12 guests. The way she's laid out, grandparents can have their own stateroom forward, parents can have queen staterooms amidships below, and grandchildren can follow separate stairs to twin cabins aft. After a visit to Plymouth, the generations can discuss how accommodations aboard Mayflower II look a lot less like Sovereign's than they do like Russell Crowe's in Master and Commander. A morning spent watching The Crucible can be followed by a tour of the witch trials memorial in Salem. As credits roll on The Perfect Storm, you can cruise into Gloucester and show your young ones how dedicated some Americans have to be to keep the rest of us fed.
All of it is terrific fodder for passionate political discussion, as was no doubt the case during Sovereign's recent charters for the Democratic and Republican National Conventions in Boston and New York, respectively.

With Creighton coach Greg McDermott and star son Doug McDermott set to face Cal on Saturday night at Haas Pavilion, here are 10 other notable father-son, coach-player tandems in college basketball history:
Phog & Bobby Allen, Kansas: Playing for one of the game's earliest and greatest coaches, Bobby was an All-Big Six selection in 1939 and '40, helping the Jayhawks to an NCAA runner-up finish his senior season.
Dick & Tony Bennett, Wisconsin Green Bay: Tony set an NCAA career record by making 49.7 percent of his 3-point attempts. Later, he took over as coach for his dad at Washington State, and now coaches at Virginia.
Bill & Ricky Berry, San Jose State: A transfer from Oregon State, Ricky played three seasons for his dad, scoring a Spartans' record 1,767 points from 1986 through '88. He was a three-time all-Big West selection.
Homer & Bryce Drew, Valparaiso: Bryce was a two-time MVP of the Mid-Continent Conference, but is best remembered for his buzzer-beater shot that lifted the underdog Crusaders over Ole Miss in the opening round of the 1998 NCAA tournament. A year ago, Bryce replaced his dad as coach at Valpo.
Wade & Allan Houston, Tennessee: Before playing in the NBA, Allan scored 2,801 points from 1990 through '93, earning all-SEC honors every season.
Lon & Kevin Kruger, UNLV: Kevin began his career at Arizona State, but jumped to Vegas to play his senior season for his dad. He averaged 13.5 points and a Mountain West Conference-best 5.1 assists in 2006-07.
Press & Pete Maravich, LSU: "Pistol" Pete scored an NCAA-record 3,667 points, averaging 44.2 per game from 1969 through '70. He was the national player of the year as a senior and is a member of the Naismith Hall of Fame.
Ray & Joey Meyer, DePaul: Ray Meyer won 724 games in 42 seasons as coach of the Blue Demons history. Joey scored 1,233 career points for him from 1969 through '71, then succeeded his dad as coach.
Jim & Pete Padgett, Nevada: Jim coached four seasons at Cal, then moved to Reno, where he mentored his son. Pete grew up in the East Bay, then was a three-time all-West Coast Athletic Conference pick, averaging 15.8 points and 14.1 rebounds for his career.
Jerry & Danny Tarkanian, UNLV: Tark's son transferred in as a sophomore and led the Runnin' Rebels in assists and steals for three straight seasons. He was second nationally in assists at 8.5 per game as a senior in 1984.

Isabel Marant Runway Review | Fashion Week Fall 2013
Isabel Marant Fall 2013
Isabel Marant is known for making rock 'n' roll ready-to-wear that all the cool girls want to own, and Fall 2013 certainly offered plenty to keep her loyal fan base happy. This season, however, the collection was edgier and darker than we've come to expect, with the rock 'n' roll vibe leaning closer to heavy metal — quite literally. Shiny nailhead studs were the adornment of choice; they traced the hems of square-shouldered jackets, sparkled like sequins on skinny scarves, and covered every surface inch of wrapped miniskirts for an almost chain-mail effect. The studs were also present on bustiers and bra straps, both of which were revealed via cutouts across the bust on sheer, body-con tops. When worn with tiered minishorts and flippy skater skirts, they gave the collection a major — and unexpected — dose of sexiness.

SAN BERNARDINO -- The sound of bagpipes rose out of the San Bernardino mountains Thursday, paying tribute to a fallen deputy who was killed in the hills above and who had honored many others taken in the line of duty before him, in much the same way.
Thousands of law enforcement officers from across the Southwest gathered to honor to San Bernardino County sheriff's Detective Jeremiah MacKay, who was killed in the violent conclusion of the manhunt for fugitive former police officer Christopher Dorner.
Bagpipers played as motorcyclists with American flags lined the roads outside and a procession of patrol cars slowly drove the last few miles into the San Manuel Amphitheater on a brisk cloudy morning.
Officers stood at attention and saluted as MacKay's coffin, draped with an American flag, was escorted through the outdoor amphitheater by deputies from MacKay's Yucaipa station. MacKay's family and friends followed, joined by four sheep dogs and a rider-less horse.
MacKay, 35, was a husband and father of two who had been with the Sheriff's Department for 15 years. Authorities say he became the fourth and final person Dorner killed.
MacKay was shot by Dorner Feb. 12 after following him to a mountain cabin that later went up in flames. Dorner's remains were found inside.
"Jeremiah MacKay stood for good against evil," San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said at the two-hour service. "Jeremiah was a man who made his uniform. His uniform did not make him."
MacKay was a bagpiper and sergeant at arms of the Inland Empire Emerald Society. He often played in remembrance of other officers.
On Thursday, they played for him. Family and friends remembered "Jer" as a man with a big deep laugh, who never took himself too seriously -- as evidenced by the pink Hello Kitty lunchbox he would tote to work. He loved his job, and especially his family. MacKay married the love of his life, Lynette two years ago, and was dad to stepdaughter Kaitlyn Denny, 6, and a 4-month-old son, Cayden.
Lynette MacKay and Kaitlyn sat silently sobbing as McMahon knelt down to say a few words and present the flag. Three shots rang out from the honor guard as "Taps" was played; 10 helicopters flew overhead into the San Bernardino mountains where MacKay met his end.
MacKay followed his father, retired San Bernardino County Fire Department Capt. Alan MacKay, into public service, graduating from the academy as one of the department's youngest deputies on his 21st birthday.
Though he initially considered the Fire Department, MacKay decided on another kind of badge because he didn't just want to serve the public, his father Alan MacKay said Thursday.
"He wanted to intervene when someone was hurting someone else -- and that's what Jeremiah did," MacKay said.
Best friend Roger Loftis related only a few tales of MacKay because most were "rated R," he told the crowd.
He explained the sheep dogs, which flanked him as he spoke. Loftis said MacKay thought good people trying to live a "good honest life" were like sheep and "had to be protected from evil people who will feed on the flock without mercy."
"To be a sheep dog one must have a capacity for violence, but a strong love for your fellow man," Loftis said. "Jeremiah was a man like that."
Loftis said MacKay had told him he was going to get Dorner and volunteered day after day to help in the search. Loftis said he knew MacKay would succeed. "But we paid a hell of a price," he said.
After volunteering daily for lengthy shifts helping patrol the mountain in search of Dorner, Jeremiah MacKay was asked by his wife, Lynette, to spend Monday, Feb. 11, at home with the kids; he did so without hesitation, McMahon said. The next day MacKay was killed by Dorner as the fugitive ex-cop hid out in a cabin where he made his last stand before dying amid a blaze of fames by an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
MacKay was one of two law enforcement officers killed by Dorner. A funeral was held last week for a Riverside city police officer who authorities say was killed by Dorner in an earlier ambush. Friends said MacKay would have played the bagpipes at that officer's funeral if he could have. MacKay's partner, deputy Alex Collins, was injured by Dorner's gunfire; Collins underwent multiple surgeries and continues to recover from his injuries.
At the end of Thursday's service an officer's voice sounded over the amphitheater loud speaker, officers wiped their eyes and bowed their heads: "This is the last call for Det. Jeremiah Alan MacKay."
MacKay's father, Alan, thanked everyone for their support during an "overwhelming" time for the family.
"I know I will see my son again," Alan MacKay said. "This is not 'goodbye,' this is 'see you later, Jeremiah."'

That's All, Folks
I can't believe the semester is over. I have seven finals to get through and then Christmas break begins. I've talked to numerous students and a handful of faculty members, and we all seem to agree this is the fastest a semester has ever gone by.
It's been a rollercoaster for sure! Balancing three jobs, school and some kind of social life proved to be quite the burden, but I'm proud of myself for getting through it. I know it's only because I attend Young Harris College, where I truly matter to all of my teachers, that I was able to succeed despite my full plate.
November is a time of thanksgiving, and I really am thankful that I walk on this campus every day. I hear so many stories from friends of mine that attend different colleges about how miserable they are at their school and how unimportant they feel, and I'm so grateful to not be able to relate.
I can remember looking at colleges and hearing that at YHC, you aren't a number—you're a name. Of course, this was in reference to the small classes, the private setting, the importance students feel and the respect they are given. Obviously all colleges want to say whatever they can to sound good, but at YHC, it's a complete fact.
Every professor knows my name, long after I have taken their class. I love attending a college where professors can pass me on their way to lunch and stop long enough to ask me how I am and how my classes are going. Recently I had a professor ask me how my internship was going, and I had never even told her about it! It was really nice to see that a faculty member wanted to support me.
Personally, I think the closeness students feel in their classes is responsible for the intense friendships that blossom among us. This place, the Enchanted Valley, provides so many unique opportunities to make long-lasting friendships.
College is rumored to be the best four years of your life, and I know that, thanks to YHC, that's been absolutely true for me. It's so strange that a year from now I'll be graduating, but I guess I have to accept that I can't slow down time. It's bittersweet to know that next December I'll be walking around the plaza as a student for the last time, but I know I'll be back. I don't think anyone ever truly leaves this place.
Thanks to everyone who followed my adventures this semester, and I hope the holiday proves to be a blessed time for all of you. I plan to do a lot of catching up…on my sleep!

Toronto native Rachel Blinick was one of 10 Yeshiva University undergraduates who participated in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP), a biomedical research program at YU's Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
In addition to the 10 undergraduates, the program attracted 45 graduate students from a number of American colleges and universities to participate in cutting-edge scientific studies.
Blinick, who spoke with The CJN in Toronto just days before returning to New York to prepare for the final semester of a bachelor's degree in biology at YU, said she was humbled to be one of the few chosen to participate in the nine-week program that ended earlier this month.
"You had to have research experience, you had to have good grades, good recommendation letters and show that you're really interested in research. You get a stipend as well, so it's a prestigious position," Blinick said.
In the summer program, Blinick worked full time in a research laboratory at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York, where she joined Dr. Richard Gorlick's research group, which focuses on osteosarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer in children.
"I joined a project in which they were looking at cell-differentiation of growing stem cells," Blinick said.
She also attended weekly lectures by renowned scientists who spoke about their latest discoveries, and she worked closely with graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.
Blinick said her role in the study was to analyze genes expressed by mesenchymal stem cells (stem cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types) and chondroblasts (cartilage-producing cells that come from stem cells), to test for specific markers using flow cytometry, a technique used to identify, separate and count cells based on detecting and measuring the fluorescence emitted with a laser light beam.
"I really liked the research because it was very translational, meaning we were actually working with patient samples and bone marrow from patients. It was something that was going to be used to treat patients," she said.
"It wasn't all theory. I really liked the fact that it was very clinically based. It was being applied to the patients."
Blinick said that last year, she took part in another research program offered by YU through Bar-Ilan University in Israel.
But she feels SURP provided her with more hands-on, practical experience.
"I felt like I did more this summer. The project I had this year was something the whole lab was already working on. It had already been started and was ongoing when I left," she said.
"I also got to go around with the doctors in the mornings and see patients, so it kind of gave the whole lab experience more of a human aspect."
Following the completion of her BA, Blinick plans to take a year off to work before taking her MCATs and applying to medical school.

Full Report: Ivy League Multi-Sport Concussion Review of Lacrosse and Soccer
PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Ivy League presidents accepted a series of recommendations made by the League's Multi-Sport Concussion Review Committee aimed at limiting the incidence of concussion in men's and women's lacrosse and men's and women's soccer.
The Multi-Sport Concussion Review Committee oversaw the reviews in men's and women's lacrosse and soccer. The Multi-Sport Committee arose from the Ivy League's Ad Hoc Committee on Concussion, which conducted last year's football concussion review and was also co-chaired by Dartmouth then-President Jim Yong Kim and Cornell President David J. Skorton, both medical doctors. Sport-specific committees reviewed men's and women's soccer (one committee), men's lacrosse and women's lacrosse, and included Ivy League head coaches, administrators, expert consultants, team physicians and athletic trainers.
"These concussion reviews, particularly as they relate to the safety of our student-athletes, reflect the Ivy League's interest in taking a leadership role in appropriate aspects of athletics generally and regarding concussions specifically. Expanding our review to include more sports is another way to drive the discussion and help student-athletes across our broad-based athletics programs," said Robin Harris, Ivy League Executive Director.
In developing the recommendations, the three sport-specific committees reviewed national data and research, as well as three years of retrospective Ivy League concussion data. Coaches and athletics trainers at each school collected the Ivy League data, which tracked the number of concussions and the circumstances surrounding the concussions on each team.
The recommendations, to take effect for the 2012-13 academic year, incorporate several common components including a continued emphasis on educational initiatives. For example, consistent with current protocols, preseason meetings between teams and athletic trainers, team physicians and outside speakers will emphasize learning and recognizing the signs of concussion, the importance of reporting symptoms and the potential life-changing impact of concussion.
Also among the common recommendations, men's and women's lacrosse and men's and women's soccer will collect prospective data regarding concussions in the coming seasons in order to produce higher quality concussion data for further study. The Ivy League office will also collect video clips from men's and women's soccer and men's and women's lacrosse games to assess whether the video is of sufficient quality to allow for the future implementation of a postgame review and possible suspension policy, similar to the current review in football.
"When looking at sports such as lacrosse and soccer it became obvious that the need for quality data had to be our focus for the future," said Skorton. "We need to determine under exactly what circumstances these concussions are occurring on the field. In the interim, taking steps to minimize exposures while also increasing education became paramount."
The Ivy League presidents also accepted sport-specific recommendations, including:
• Coaches will designate 11 combined days in the fall and spring seasons in which body checking will not be permitted in practices.
• Only one full-contact practice per day will be permitted.
• Coaches will place a greater emphasis on teaching proper hitting techniques in practice.
• The Ivy League office will work with the NCAA on specific issues that could potentially lower the incidence of concussion, including examining the possibility of more stringent consequences for penalties involving targeting the head as well as considering possible rules changes surrounding face-offs.
• Coaches will modify 10 spring practices to exclude stick-checking.
• Coaches will dedicate time during the beginning of fall practice and skill instruction season on teaching proper stick-checking technique.
• Each student-athlete will be required to attend at least one skill instruction session that focuses on proper stick-checking technique prior to the first fall practice.
• Other adopted recommendations centered on suggestions for minimizing accidental hits to the head during practices and continued assessment of officiating to address fouls involving hits (i.e., stick-checking) to the head and other dangerous play.
• Certified officials will attend one fall practice to emphasize adherence to safety rules and cardable fouls.
Men's and Women's
• Education regarding the NCAA substitution rule will be emphasized to student-athletes, coaches and officials. The rule allows for substitution and re-entry for players with concussion-like symptoms so that they can be properly evaluated on the sideline but substituted back into the game (not counting against team's substitution total) if they are cleared to play by a team trainer or physician.
• Three hours of countable preseason practice will be used by coaches to teach and review proper techniques for heading duels.
"The presidents are committed to continuing to review the frequency and impact of concussions in collegiate athletics in order to protect the welfare of our student-athletes," said Shirley M. Tilghman, Ivy League Council of Presidents chair and Princeton University President. "Concussion research is rapidly evolving, and our policies need to reflect changes in our understanding of this important issue."
The Ivy League has also identified men's and women's ice hockey as sports warranting a similar concussion review. The Multi-Sport Concussion Committee will review the findings and suggestions of the ad hoc men's and women's ice hockey committees, and the presidents will consider these recommendations in December.
Additionally, the Ivy League recently announced a collaboration with the Big Ten Conference, in conjunction with the Big Ten Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), to engage in a co-sponsored, cross-institutional research collaboration to study the effects of head injuries in sports, continuing efforts dating back more than two years. The historic collaboration brings together two prestigious academic and athletic entities, and will allow for the coordination of ongoing efforts by each conference to research and address various aspects of head injuries in athletics, including concussions. The world-class academic and research capabilities of the institutions will help to promote a collaborative and collegial atmosphere to address a burgeoning issue impacting the welfare of athletes at all levels of sport.
Above, please find in PDF format the complete Multi-Sport report resulting from the Ivy League's review of concussions in men's and women's lacrosse and men's and women's soccer.
Founded in 1954, the Ivy League includes Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale Universities, Dartmouth College, and the University of Pennsylvania, and is the most diverse intercollegiate conference in the country with over 8,000 athletes competing each year. Sponsoring conference championships in 33 men's and women's sports, and averaging more than 35 varsity teams at each school, the Ivy League provides more intercollegiate athletic opportunities per school than any other conference in the country. The Ivy League annually finishes among the top conferences in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics competitive rankings, and Ivy student-athletes annually compile the country's best records in the NCAA Academic Performance Ratings.
