It's looking like a deep year for tight end talent in the West region this year and one player we like a lot out of the Northwest is Auburn-Riverside (Wash.) athlete David Paulson. Paulson had a great showing at the NIKE Camp at Stanford and has picked up some big time scholarship offers in the last few weeks.
Paulson, 6-3, 225 pounds has a solid frame and is a very good athlete. He tested very well at the NIKE Camp clocking a 4.72-40, 4.30 shuttle and did 20 reps on the bench. He also looked good in the position drills catching the ball and used his athleticism to get open with ease all camp long.
As a junior, Paulson caught 35 balls for 374 yards and seven touchdowns and added 43 tackles and two sacks on defense but tight end is definitely where the athlete projects in college.
Article Continues Below
Paulson has been all over the camp circuit this spring and summer and has camped with Cal, Oregon, Washington, Oregon State, Stanford and Arizona State.
"David has six offers now," Paulson's mother Kristi said. "The most recent offer came from Washington last Friday after David camped there on Thursday. We received the written offer on Saturday. Cal and Oregon also offered after David attended their camps and Oregon State, Idaho and Eastern Washington had all previously offered. Right now, David doesn't have a favorite school and is open to all those schools who are showing him interest."
In addition to the schools mentioned, Arizona State and Michigan are also showing interest in Paulson. Academically, the tight end is solid as well carrying a 3.9 GPA with a 1720 on the SAT.

Optimizing active crossover
I've built a proven speaker design, but I am a bit unhappy with my crossover setup so far.
The drivers are two Beyma 15p80nd and a Beyma TPL150H in MTM configuration. Slotport top and bottom on the front baffle.
The original designer recommend a 4th order Linkwitz-Riley 900Hz crossover. I have that set in my DSP (DCX2496), but I can hear the transition is quite muddy.
I have access to REW so I can measure the response, but don't really know how to measure and what information is relevant for crossover design. Any pointers?
I looked the drivers response....
900Hz is not a good point of crossover... 2kHz seems better.
But 2kHz for a 15", not very a good thing... but can work in your setup.
Do you include baffle step ? Do you include time delay ?
It's better use HOLMIMPULSE or ARTA.
I can only agree to what jerome69 write - I wouldn't choose such a low crossover point for the Beyma TPL-150H driver. I am looking at 2-2.5kHz based upon my own measurements:
;) Robert GS
Are you running two 15inchers in an MTM format?
You need a midrange driver or maybe two.
However, I agree with the other posters, I think you're trying to push the drivers too far, and a good mid would sort out the problem.
I am running a Acoustic Elegance TD15H with a Beyma TPL-150. I have mine crossed at 1.2 kHz and that may be a little too low.
Best performance seems to be at and above 2 kHz, but a 15" directivity will be too narrow to match the TPL-150 at that frequency.
The woofers you have selected look like they will play higher up the spectrum, but there is no data on the directivity for the woofer. I can tell from my own measurements that the TPL-150 is a very, very wide directivity driver at 1 kHz and above and my AE speaker starts to get narrow at the same frequency.
I would try setting your crossover at 1.5 kHz if you do not need to play high volumes as a start. At that frequency you can get away with a second order slope or higher. Then you can move that crossover point upward until you get what you like. Bear in mind you will lose directivity in that region.
Lastly, check your TPL-150 polarity with respect to the woofers and the crossover so that there isn't a phase suck out.
It's the TPL150H, the one with the horn.
The original design is with the two woofers at the bottom, horn on top and two rearfiring ports. That design is very successful with a 900Hz crossover, I've heard it myself in two different setups.
Is there a reason the MTM config is different?
I have the speakers on stands to get the horn at earheight.
Here is a link for the actual driver specs:
try using the DCX to alter the crossover frequency.
Move it up to 1k, 1k1, 1k2, 1k4, 1k7.
For the moment keep the 4P L-R
You should try to find a transition-area for both drivers where:
a. Directivity off-axis of both drivers are similar, and
b. Where both drivers sound "ok"
just my 2 cents

I am 11 years old, but still a puppy on the inside! I'm trying to dig a hole to China on my favorite river bank, where Mom takes me for long walks. After swimming, I love the towel treatment--rub rub rub, makes me all shiny again. I sit politely by Dad's grill when he's cooking and receive little treats!

Many travelers learned the hard way Wednesday that CTA trains to O'Hare wouldn't get them all the way to the airport.
Until July 28, airport-bound trains on the Blue Line won't go farther than the CTA rail stop at Rosemont, because of track work to eliminate rail "slow zones." Rosemont is the last stop on the line, about four miles from the airport.

My Nonprofit Reviews
CP Parent
Review for Saratoga Academy of the Arts and Sciences, Clifton Park, NY, USA
Terrible place...if you're looking for a school for your young children, i would strongly encourage looking elsewhere. I suspect some first year parents, if they got the right teacher, are incredibly happy. We were one of them. What we didn't realize was our first year's wonderful experience was in spite of the terrible folks that run the school but rather the result of having a great teacher that first year. I can tell you our second year was less than stellar. As you meet other parents you'll hear nothing but complaints. It breaks my heart to to see Parents struggle. They'll request to switch classes for their child, some have just pulled there children out of school all together because of the poor experience. It's a terrible terrible feeling. And to add insult to injury...the all the great teachers leave or get fired.
Parents beware. Don't make the mistake we made...if you are in need of PreK and/or Kindergarten spend the time to do your research and look for the school that best for you and your child. Invest in a school where you know your tuition dollars will go back to your child and not to building Middle school or basic supplies for your children. I've heard nothing but great things about Brown school. I've also heard wonderful things about St. Gregory's. There are several Montessori around which have also gotten good reviews. Bottom line, take the time to look.
I hope other parents find this review helpful

Plans taking shape for 50-year school's celebration
Since she was 3 years old, Beth Monson has considered Hammond her home.
Her father Veldon "Doc" Monson was a doctor in town for 18 years and her mother Mary had a yarn shop in the family's basement.
Monson said her future was influenced by St. Croix Central teachers, and knew by her junior year of high school that she wanted to be a family and consumer education teacher, although back in the day it was referred to as home economics.
Monson graduated from St. Croix Central High school in 1969 and went to UW-Wisconsin Stout, where she received a bachelor's degree in family and consumer education.
After graduating from college, Monson taught in River Falls for one year before taking a teaching position at SCC.
Monson taught family and consumer education for 36 years before medical issues required she retire early in March 2008.
While teaching at SCC, Monson said she strived to "inspire students to learn," and "be there for them."
"I hope, SCC students gained a positive foundation and went on to achieve their goals and dreams," she said. "If I made a positive difference in my students' lives, I accomplished one of my life goals."
Medical issues in 2007 and 2008 caused Monson to miss a number of days in the classroom, leaving her students with multiple substitute teachers while she was gone.
Monson said constantly being gone "wasn't fair to the students."
She said she could no longer physically do her job and knew that retiring early was necessary to be fair to her students and the district.
"It was difficult for me to retire."
Monson said she was not ready to leave the school and teaching community she loved.
She said she misses the daily interaction with the students and staff at SCC.
"There was never a dull moment, it never got boring because you always got new students," Monson said.
The St. Croix Central schools have been a big part if Monson's life, she said she is happy she "bloomed where (she was) planted."
50-year celebration
When Monson received a call from SCC Superintendent David Bradley last September about possibly setting up the upcoming 50-year celebration, Monson said she was more than up for the challenge.
"I took ownership," of planning the 50-year celebration, Monson said.
She said the planning process has kept her busy, but a good kind of busy.
"It's been good for me to have a project," she said.
The plan
Monson has planned the 50-year celebration for the weekend of Sept. 23.
So far, Monson has small group gatherings for various graduate classes, meeting at various locations Friday night in Hammond and Roberts.
Monson said the small groups will allow alumni to "reconnect, reminisce and socialize" with friends and classmates from the past.
Monson is thankful for the many local businesses participating in the event. "Every place was very supportive," Monson said.
For a list of the various gathering locations, separated by class levels, go to the St. Croix Central School District website, and click on the 50-year celebration tab on the left side of the screen.
For Saturday afternoon, Monson has planned a variety of events like tours, concerts, a program and slideshow in various locations throughout the district.
The reunion reception is planned for Saturday, Sept. 24, at 6:30 p.m. at Ready Randy's in New Richmond. Additional information, including directions, entertainment and menu items, can be found on the district website.
In addition to the Saturday night dinner social and Friday night reunions, Monson said a few area businesses have shown interest in sponsoring a golf tournament or run.
Why September?
Monson wants to get the word out about the reunion as early as possible so those alumni living out of state have enough time to make travel arrangements.
Monson said some people suggested having the reunion during Heartland or Good Neighbor Days, but she decided against it, because "I didn't want to take away from those two celebrations."
Others asked why both days of the celebration weren't being held in Hammond or Roberts.
"There's no place in the district to hold that many people. That is why we are having all the small group gatherings in Hammond and Roberts on Friday night," she said.
Word of mouth
The event, if successful, could draw 500 alumni back to the area for the weekend.
Although Monson has worked diligently to contact as money people as possible through the school district's website, district newsletter and Facebook, she said word of mouth is the best way to ensure the greatest number of people are aware of and participate in the big reunion event.
"There's no way I could mail out to that many people," Monson said.
Monson has enjoyed planning the 50-year reunion but says she welcomes any suggestions or assistance from others in the community.
"I've just got the ground work done, there is a lot left to do," Monson said.
Planning the big reunion requires a lot of time, but "It's worth it for me and whoever comes (to the event)," Monson said.
Monson said she is not going to worry about the number of people who attend the reunion. She just wants everyone who does come, to "have a really good time."
Contact Info
For information about event locations and times, go to the SCC website at http://www.scc.k12.wi.us/ and click on the 50-year celebration tab on the left side of the screen. A reservation form and T-shirt order form can also be found on the district website.
Reservation forms can be dropped off at any of the SCC school offices or mailed to SCC 50-year Event, P.O. Box 118, Hammond, WI, 54015.
For questions about donating or volunteering, contact Monson at 715-307-0697 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Monson welcomes any suggestions the community has concerning the event.

Delaware's governor and lieutenant governor, John Carney and Bethany Hall-Long, declared February 12, 2017, Charles Darwin Day in the state of Delaware, urging (PDF) "all citizens to join us in celebrating his tremendous contributions in the field of science."
"Parents and educators worry that legislation advancing in the South Dakota Legislature would open the floodgates for teachers to present nearly any topic as science," according to the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader (January 27, 2017), referring to South Dakota's Senate Bill 55, which passed the Senate on January 25, 2017.
South Dakota's Senate Bill 55 passed the Senate on a 23-12 vote on January 25, 2017, "despite guidance from the State Department of Education, state school boards, school administrators, teachers and scientists," according to the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader (January 25, 2017).
South Dakota's Senate Bill 55 passed the Senate Education Committee on a 4-3 vote on January 24, 2017, despite the opposition of the state's educational communities, according to the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader (January 24, 2017).
Indiana's Senate Resolution 17, introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on Education and Career Development as of January 23, 2017, would, if adopted, ostensibly urge the state department of education "to reinforce support of teachers who choose to teach a diverse curriculum." But the teaching of evolution is the specific target of the bill.
A draft of a new national curriculum in Turkey omits evolution, according to soL international (January 15, 2017).
Senate Bill 393 (PDF), styled the Oklahoma Science Education Act, is the latest antievolution bill in the Sooner State.
NCSE's Ann Reid and Glenn Branch contributed "Will education secretary pick Betsy DeVos dilute science instruction in schools?" to Stat (January 18, 2017), a new national publication specializing in health, medicine, and scientific discovery.
The distinguished botanist, conservationist, and environmentalist Hugh Iltis died on December 19, 2016, according to the University of Wisconsin (December 30, 2016).

ZoSo Tone Capacitor Kit for Les PaulThis auction is for a set of American Made NOS - Paper in Oil - Vitamin Q - Audio capacitors for use in customizing electric guitars with humbucking pickup. These values (N.015/B.022) are famously referred to as the Jimmy Page tone configuation. These Paper in Oil caps will clean up your over-all tone and add a little more bite to the neck pickup. Lots of people will tell you that the type / material of the caps you use in a guitar tone circuit doesn't matter. I strongly disagree with that from my experience, I personally like the sound of paper-in-oil type caps in guitar tone circuits a lot better than polyester or ceramic or polypropylene caps. My ears hear a nicer, rounder sound as the tone controls are in use with paper-in-oil caps. My Shredding Metal customers are shocked to hear gut kicking power chords and howling leads coming from caps famous for "vintage tone"?! Good tone is good tone - Period! Your crunch will be crunchier, your metal heavier and your blues will make them cry! These are New Old Stock (NOS) American made capacitor reproduced to look like a Vintage BumbleBee.

Gitex Diary: Day 2
Gulf News Deputy Web Editor Florence Pia G. Yu ventures into Gitex Technology Week 2008 to bring you the real story.
A dose of media tablet
The latest model of the Archos internet media tablet is definitely smaller than its predecessors and offers mobile web surfing at the palm of your hand. The gadget has a 5-inch touch screen and wifi to let you surf the internet, play movies and view photos as well as schedule and record your favourite TV programs and download movies and muzak. Sleek.
Watcha wearing?
The first item on the list brings the word "handy" to a whole new level. The "world's first watch mobile" by Touchmate definitely caught my eye. I was thinking about the countless people out there who have lost their mobile phones.
Well guys, there's no way you can try to lose this one if its strapped on your wrist! What is also great about it is its functionability. Aside from making calls, the gadget has a built-in camera and touch screen, it also has a voice and video recorder, a T-flash card slot and a stereo bluetooth headset. It's in triband as well so you can use it anywhere in the world.
World's largest plasma screen TV
No wonder there were a lot of people milling around the Panasonic show area. One hundred and fifty inches of entertainment in your face is definitely hard to miss. Panasonic reps said their record breaking "world's largest plasma screen TV" is not out in the market yet, but they promised it would be launched soon.
In a flash
Wearable flash drives, anyone? Nezac's PVC UFD comes in customised shapes and colours, and if you ask me, brings a lot of excitement to the otherwise boring USB. So if you need to carry data with you all the time, here's a trendy way of doing it.

[MLS] A week after losing in the final minutes to San Jose, Philadelphia beat Toronto FC with a stoppage-time penalty kick by All-Star snub Sebastian Le
Toux. Columbus downed New York in a meeting of the top two Eastern Conference teams, and FC Dallas tightened up the Western standings by beating runner-up Real Salt Lake. Here are a
half-dozen notables from from MLS Week 16 action ...
LEFTOUT LE STAR. Outraged Philly fans will surely view Sebastian Le Toux's goal and assist in a 2-1 defeat of Toronto FC at PPL Park as justification that he should have been named to the All-Star first XI. Michael Orozco headed his corner nick to the near post into the top corner for the first Union goal, and deep in stoppage time Le Toux stayed cool to blast a penalty kick for the winner.
With seven goals and seven assists, the former Sounder (USL and MLS) is only four goals behind league leaders Edson Buddle (goals) and three behind Landon Donovan (assists) and no one else in MLS can claim the same. (Buddle and Donovan each scored in the Galaxy's 2-1 win over D.C. United on Sunday.)
TFC FALTERS. Preki's remodeling of Toronto FC has edged it into third place in the East, but not every addition has been a plus. Maksim Usanov has lost his starting spot after a few rough outings, yet needed only 10 minutes (including stoppage time) after replacing right back Dan Gargan to block a Philadelphia shot with his hand to provide Le Toux with an opportunity to win the game, and LeToux did just that.
TFC squandered 15 points in the final 15 minutes of games last year and on Saturday threw away a valuable road point in Philly.
SHEA ON THE MARK. FC Dallas isn't on many short lists of serious championship contenders, and perhaps defending champion RSL simply melted in 95-degree heat Saturday during a 2-0 FCD win. And RSL hadn't lost in 10 games, so it may have succumbed to the law of averages as well.
Yet midfielder Brek Shea continues to punch the clock every week and every so often prove to be the difference-maker. After blocking a Jamison Olave shot on the goal line, he scored what proved to be the winner in the 69th minute when he nailed home the rebound of a saved shot hit by newcomer Milton Rodriguez.
"I started off slow, missed a few. I had some bad touches and bad passes," the Sheas said. "As the game went on, I think the team got better. I got a lucky rebound and scored. I should have had some other chances."
FCD also got quality minutes (72) out of Rodriguez, who headed a corner kick off the crossbar in the first half. The 24-year-old Colombian joined FCD several weeks ago but wasn't eligible to play until the registration period opened on Thursday. Dallas has lost only twice this season and extended its unbeaten streak to 11 games.
DYNAMO DILEMMA. Beating Pachuca 2-1 in SuperLiga play Wednesday may boost Houston's confidence, but its absence from league play is widening the gap it must close to reach a playoff spot. It is three points out of the playoffs with 19 points and tied with Seattle in ninth place overall.
Wins by Seattle and Dallas increased the pressure on Houston, which doesn't have games in hand with which to make up points. It has played 16; only the Sounders, with 17, have played more games. And it returns to league play Saturday at Columbus.
HENRY ON HAND. Columbus got a fair dose of Thierry Henry though the French star didn't play on Saturday as the Crew beat New York, 2-0. After his first training session with the Red Bulls Friday morning, Henry traveled to Columbus, where he met the press and watched the game from a luxury suite. Emilio Renteria and Brian Carroll scored the goals and Will Hesmer notched his seventh shutout.
Henry will certainly liven up the Red Bull attack, but Coach Hans Backe needs to tighten the defensive play. A giveaway by rookie Tim Ream provided the chance for Carroll after a nice goal scored by Renteria, whose dash of class up top adds nuances that Jason Garey and Stevan Lenhart can't provide. Whether via the DP option or other means, teams are looking to add those missing elements before the transfer window closes Aug. 15.
DEEP CREW. Crew coach Robert Warzycha juggled his lineup and still got the three points. Danny O'Rourke took over at left back for Gino Padula, Emmanuel Ekpo started in place of Robbie Rogers, and Renteria played up front in place of Garey. Before scoring the second goal with a great strike, Carroll stripped the ball from Juan Pablo Angel and fed it to Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who played it to Renteria.
After Carroll's goal doubled the score, he suffered an ankle injury and was replaced by Shaun Francis, who made his MLS debut. Garey and Rogers came on as late substitutes.
IMHO, Thierry Henry must have come to a rude awakening after watching the NYRB rollover against the Crew...a dismal uninspired performance by the RB inept teamwork and individual failures...it's time to re-evaluate the roster which is too thin on talent and heavy on poor decision-making.

Early Design Sketches Of The Canon PowerShot N
Source: Photography Blog
The new Canon PowerShot N (price & specs) was designed by four persons of Canon's Japanese team. One of them, Miyabi Orihashi, Product Designer, Design Center, Canon Inc, says:
The PowerShot N is not only for consumers who want to record memories but also for those who are eager to capture beautiful, artistic photos for other people to enjoy. I hope people who don't have a deep knowledge of camera functions and settings will find they are able to take a range of interesting and expressive images using this camera
The design sketches give valuable insights in the philosophy that was driving the development of the PowerShot N. See all sketches and more pics in Photography Blog's post.
The Canon PowerShot N is available for pre-order ($299, click on shopname): Amazon | B&H | Adorama.
Canon PowerShot N specifications (from B&H's product page):
- 12.1MP High Sensitivity CMOS Sensor
- DIGIC 5 Image Processor
- 8x f/3.0 Optical Zoom Lens
- 28-224mm Focal Length Equivalency
- 2.8″ Capacitive Tilt-Touch LCD Panel
- 1080p Full HD Video Capture
- Built-in Wi-Fi Connectivity
- One-Touch Mobile Device Connect Button
- Creative Shot Mode
Some PowerShot N impressions:
PetaPixel's first impressions:
The uber-compact body looks and feels nice in the hand, and can easily be carried around in your pocket without causing too much of a bulge. It's light, and won't weigh you or your bag down if you carry it around everywhere you go. It's a camera that's just as compact as a smartphone, but offers nice advantages: a longer-reaching optical lens and a larger sensor are two of the main ones.
Slashgear's first impressions:
That's a healthy amount of features for this little 12-megapixel shooter, but this still has plenty of the features you'd expect. These include low-light performance, ISO up to 6400, and the ability to capture video in 1080p. Canon says the PowerShot N will begin shipping in April 2013 and will come with a price tag of $300, which doesn't seem too bad.
Techradar: They found good: Easy to use, One-touch Wi-Fi, Small size, Good sensor, Responsive touch-control. Not so good: Slightly awkward to hold, Little manual control, Restricted LCD movement. More:
The PowerShot N is all about creating images quickly and easily, so naturally all the exposure modes are automatic. Program mode provided the most control, with aspects such as exposure compensation and white balance being adjustable. Alternatively, there are some creative shooting options with filter effect such as Fish-eye Effect, Miniature Effect, Soft Focus, Toy Camera Effect and Monochrome.
Canon PowerShot N price check: Amazon USA, B&H Photo, Digitalrev, eBay, Adorama, Canon USA.

WASHINGTON – President Bush warned Saturday that if Congress does not act now to overhaul Social Security (search), the choices ahead will be harsh and painful. He repeated his call to add private accounts to the system.
As he has in visits to eight states, Bush emphasized in his weekly radio address that the system will soon run short of money, with more going out to pay benefits than is collected in taxes.
"If we do not act now to avert that outcome, the only solutions would be dramatically higher taxes, massive new borrowing or sudden and severe cuts in Social Security benefits or other government programs," he said.
Responding for the Democrats in their radio address, Sen. Charles Schumer (search) of New York said the program needs "fine-tuning," not replacement "with something completely different."
The program's trustees have said the program will begin to run a deficit in 2018 and by 2042, it will only be able to pay 73 percent of promised benefits.
"We cannot pretend that the problem does not exist," Bush said. "Social Security will go broke when some of our younger workers get ready to retire, and that is a fact."
He repeated a list of options for bringing the program into solvency, all of which involve cutting benefits in one way or another: reducing checks for wealthy retirees, increasing the retirement age, discouraging people from collecting benefits early and cutting benefits across the board by changing the formula so benefits are tied to prices instead of wages.
"All these ideas are on the table," the president said.
He said the only thing he rules out is raising the payroll tax (search), which is currently applied to the first $90,000 of wages. Administration officials have repeatedly refused to say whether Bush would also rule out raising that cap so more income is subject to the existing tax.
In the radio address, Bush repeated his call to add personal accounts to Social Security. Under his plan, workers under age 55 would be able to divert some of their Social Security taxes into private accounts that could be invested in stocks or bonds.
"It would replace the empty promises of the current system with real assets of ownership," he said.
The president did not mention that it would cost $750 billion in the first several years to transition to the new system and much more over time. He has not said how he would pay that tab.
Speaking for the Democrats, Schumer said the plan for private accounts would make Social Security's problems more difficult because of this price tag.
"The president's private accounts do nothing to solve Social Security's long-term financial problems. Even administration officials concede this point," he said. "If the president wants our support and the support of the country, he should stop advocating change based on ideology."
Bush's plan has support from many Republicans in Congress, though some are opposed and others worry it will not sell politically. Trying to shore up support, Vice President Dick Cheney and other administration officials have held a series of meetings with Republican lawmakers.
Pressing the point, the Republican National Committee e-mailed more than 2 million supporters on Friday with a memo that argues the issue is a winner for the GOP.
The memo, from RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman, cited polling that found personal accounts appeal to core conservative voters who are likely to hold significant sway in the 2006 elections.
"We do well when our base is motivated and turns out in large numbers," Mehlman said in an interview.
Democratic National Committee spokesman Jano Cabrera responded that his party's base is equally fired up against the Bush plan. "We welcome any opportunity to run against Republicans in 2006 after they've cut Social Security benefits and added trillions to the federal deficit," he said.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- It's not easy watching your arch-rival reach the highest of highs while your team suffers through the lowest of lows, but that's exactly what's happening in Florida. FSU won a national championship to cap a season in which UF posted a losing record for the first time in more than 30 years.
Talk about a programs going in opposite directions. It's not easy to even comprehend the mountain top when you're sitting at rock bottom.
But Florida can learn a lot from this year's champion and runner-up -- Florida State and Auburn.
Tigers bounce back
Auburn might have benefited from a miracle or two, but there is no doubting the way this program rebounded in one year.
That should give everyone associated with Florida great hope. Auburn had a far worse season in 2012 than Florida did in 2013. The Tigers didn't win a single game in the SEC and were just seconds away from winning a national championship one year later.
Gus Malzahn's return brought a sense of connection to Auburn's success in 2010 when he was offensive coordinator. He was able to salvage a recruiting class that ranked No. 11 last February and featured a couple of recruits who were critical to the turnaround.
Defensive end Carl Lawson, the nation's No. 2 overall prospect in the Class of 2013, became a bookend to senior Dee Ford. But it was juco transfer Nick Marshall who made the biggest impact. His electric speed and ability to run Malzahn's offense made the Tigers nearly unstoppable.
Like Auburn a year ago, Florida must use its sub-standard season as a selling point to recruits. The message is simple: "You're needed here and you can play right away."
UF didn't change head coaches, but a new offensive coordinator is nearly as seismic. Kurt Roper, a veteran play-caller with an extensive SEC résumé, will install something very different from the unimaginative, clock-chewing, run-run-pass offense that so frustrated Gator fans the last three seasons.
There's much work to be done across the board, but like Auburn, the key to revamping the offense for Roper and Florida is to work from the quarterback position out.
Seminoles' ascension
Just over a year ago, Florida went to Tallahassee and beat the Seminoles. FSU hasn't lost since.
The difference? A transcendent quarterback.
Sure, Jameis Winston is a generational talent. He's a quarterback prodigy with the otherworldly talent to win both the Heisman Trophy and the national title in just his second year out of high school.
Florida doesn't have that kind of QB, but Jeff Driskel was once the nation's No. 1 quarterback prospect, just like Winston. And UF's incoming freshman Will Grier is rated No. 2 in the nation. Together, Driskel and Grier give the Gators a focal point from which to build around.
Florida State's success came as a result of a steady buildup of talent. Remember how many times fans and observers claimed the Noles were officially "back" in recent years? Now there is no questioning FSU.
If Florida is to return to college football's elite, it needs stability. Some fans might not love the idea of Will Muschamp sticking around, but he is being given the chance to finish what he has started. Florida has recruited some of the nation's best classes -- 12th, fourth and second -- in Muschamp's three years. The talent level is rising, and someone has to steer the ship.
Some people forget this, but Jimbo Fisher has only been a head coach for one more year than Muschamp. And while his run at FSU has seen the Seminoles steadily climb back to prominence, Fisher was there from 2007-09 as offensive coordinator and head-coach-in-waiting when the Noles lost 16 games.
Florida's time with Muschamp has been more like a roller-coaster ride. After free-falling to the bottom, there is but one direction to go.

Welborne Terraplane Amp-PS10 HV Regulated PS Problems
Hi, I'm having problems with my Welborne Terraplane Amp and it's PS10 HV Regulated Power Supply . Ron built these and the PS has already gone on one of the amps, which Ron kindly replaced. But now, I'm getting no response from Welborne and I've been trying for the last few months.
So having a look it at the PS10 it looked like their were burns marks around two of the diodes D7 & D8 and also the around the resistors R4 & R5. So I replace these but on powering up - spark and nothing as I powered off.
Parts used:
RSS 544-5436 Diode,Zener,200V,017AA,1N5388B
RSS 135-465 Resistor,carbon film,high stab,2W,5%,330K
Does anyone have any ideas on:
1. Fix this - it is a bit beyond me
2. Get a replacement unit
3. Remove these Power Supplies and replace then with something else as they have been problematic and not sure they are used to the 240+v we get in UK although Ron said they were.
Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated.

Were the amps working at some point? The 240V shouldn't matter as the PS won't see that unless the power transformer is hooked up wrong.
Post some pics of the boards if you can. I have one of these supplies, and I had the problems that the ground plane burned up in a spot -- my guess is that the copper was really thin, or impure, or something that would lead it to have a high resistance. This was back when Ron answered email and sent things that you paid for -- but he claimed he had never seen it before. I have my doubts as to the veracity of this assessment.
Anyhow, I ended up running buss wire over all the ground connections which worked fine. And, as I think of it, if the ground went in the same place as my ground went, it might send extra current through the zeners -- I think I replaced those at some point.
Also, do the parts names match the posted schematic? R5 bypasses the rectifier which seems unlikely to burn up. Is it a different part?

Hi dsavitsk, thank you for you reply. Yes both amps have worked, one still does with the replacement PS that Ron sent after the original failed. Unfortunately Ron didn't tell me what failed on the original, in various emails he suggested it could have been D1 and/or D2, the HV rectifiers or possibly even Q1 the Mosfet.
According to the PS10 manual PDF which is attached, I believe they are the resistors indictaed on page 3 as R5 and R6. Page two doesn't seem to tally with this showing "R5, R5"???
Also it show on page 2 it shows Z5, Z6 and Z7 and Z8 which I took to be D5 - D8. They were what looked like burn marks on the outside of the circuit board around where these components were attached to the board, i made a best guess at to what had failed based on that. Power Supplies like this are a bit beyond me.
Any help on how to fix this or how to test for which component has failed would be much appreciated. Thanks again for your help.

I thought you were saying R4 -- which is helps with the slow start stuff. If it is R5 and R6 that went then high voltage would seem to be a possibility. R5 and R6 are unnecessary, and you can simply leave them out if you like. Might they help the sound a little? Beats me, I've never heard it.
Yes, D5-D8 are the same as Z5-Z8. It does sound like the issue is component failure as opposed to PCB failure, and that high secondary voltage might be to blame.
Looking at the setup, it does seem that Ron had the transformer wired up the same for 220V/50Hz as for 240V/50Hz, which means that you might be getting a pretty high voltage on the secondary. Maybe the best thing to do is replace the rectifier with some overspeced parts
So, are D5 and D6 populated? Or just D7 and D8. The additive voltage total of these in series sets the regulator's output voltage. If they blow, it is because too much current is going through them. You set this with R2 -- there is a formula in the manual you attached, and if the voltage is too high, it will increase the current.
I'd do a couple of things -- first, look at how Ron repaired the other one and perhaps copy the values. Second, measure the voltage where R2 and C6 meet (on the one that works) so that you know approximately what the real secondary voltage is -- my guess is that it is a lot higher than it should be. Then use these values to replace R2 and Z5-8. It is also a good idea to just replace the mosfet as they seem to blow easily, and if it isn't working, everything else could go, too.

Thnaks again dsavitsk, I will try some measurements of the working device when I get home and post later tonight or first thing tomorrow.
Sorry, yes it was R5 and R6 NOT R4.
D5, D6, D7, D8 are populated all the same I think.
I think the HV Rectifier Diodes are HFA06PB120. Can't seem to see them in the UK is there an equivalent. Same for Mosfet FQA6N80? I have PDF's for these if required.
I'm not sure Ron repaired it I think he just sent another one?
Hopefully talk more tomorrow.

Hi dsavitsk, apologies for the delay in replying, the usual weekend family crisis. I've managed to do some general measuring as listed in the manual.
TB3-3 to R5-1 is 590v - should be in range of 540-560
TB1-30 to TB1-12 is 153v should be 140-150
TB1-26 to TB1-9 is 5v and is OK
TB3-3 to HVIN on PS10 is 590v
I measured the R2 as 2.4K 3W - which is the same as the current one. The diodes I'd put in (two) were 5w IN 5388.
Voltage across R2 is 10v (I was not sure how to measure the secondary voltage - you mention to measure across R2/C6 is their any chance you could be a bit more specific about where to measure from?
Anything else I can measure?

First note -- you should use clip leads to take these measurements. Also, since you can pick up meters for $5 to $10, use Tubelab.com's multiple meter approach. 590V will put you flat on your back very quickly.
There is a bit of a discrepancy here. Two 200V zeners will set the B+ at 400V. If your high voltage is 590 and R2 is 2K4, this suggest about 13mA going through the Zeners (maybe enough to do some damage, especially if there is a surge or ventilation is bad.) On the other hand, 10V across R2 suggests 4mA going across the Zeners which is too low.
Also, do your amps really run with a B+ of 400V? Seems low to me -- by about 150V. But, I'd be doubtful that this PS can deliver 550V. Is the whole thing biased up by 150V somehow?
It also suggests that you are trying to dissipate ~15W from the Mosfet which is probably too much. I have a sense that Ron didn't really think this through, or that I am missing some information. Really only two 200V zeners?
I think if it were my amp, I'd pull the regulators -- use them for something else, and just build the unregulated PS from the original (which is a RCLC) with R=30R/5W, L=15H, C1=15uF, and C2=two 550uF 385V caps in series with a 330K/2W resistor parallel to each. The design of the amp keeps the PS out of the signal path for the most part, and you can parallel the electrolytics with some small film caps for a performance boost.

Thank you once again dsavitsk, your advice on the voltages does not go unheeded!
TB3-3 is a ground point, I'm not sure I have anything but the normal circuit diagram (on the web site) in pdf format.
Isn't it four Zenner diodes z(d)5 - z(d)8, I only replaced the ones where the circuit board looked burnt, so this could be a place to start. Or are your talking about the D1 - D2 rectifier diodes.
I suspect it is me not explaining it very well, I'm sure Ron has it nailed down, they sound very good when they are working. This is at the edge of my knowledge - I've never been very good at power supplies.

Okay, I just misunderstood. I thought there were only 2 zeners and they were both 200V which would have put it at 400V. (You could have jumpered the other 2.)
Did replacing the two zeners fix anything? Chances are no. I would think that if the two got hot enough to burn, any others in series are toasted, too.
So, I think what you should do is take some measurements in the working amp, and then we'll work from there. First, measure from the PS output to ground. Then, measure from the front of R2 (where it meets R1 and C6) to ground (the R1 and R2 on the PS PCB). This will tell us the input and output from the PS - I am guessing that there are probably a pair of 75V zeners in there, or something like it? It will also tell us the current across the zeners, though I think it is likely 4mA based on what you already said. This will tell you where the pS is operating, and whether you need to make some adjustments for long term reliability.
And, if you don't want to keep turning the tubes on and off, disconnect the PS from the amp and put a dummy load on it -- because it's a regulator, the load need not draw the same current as the amp -- just enough to bleed the caps so you don't zap yourself. Try a 10W to 20W 50K resistor.
The other thing to do is to simply replicate the parts from the first onto the second. Really, I'd replace everything except the caps. It will cost you about $10 and should solve the issue, even if it doesn't explain why it blew. It also might blow again someday ...

Sorry about the delay in reply.. As I had to be away for a few weeks, I dropped the amp over to Audiolabs in Leeds, who of course fixed it. As you rightly surmised dsavitsk, just a few components blown, although still not sure of the reason.
Many thanks for all you help dsavitsk. I probably could have fixed it myself, but lack of knowledge and time constraints were a deciding factor. If you are uncomfortable with what you are doing (especially with high voltages,) then perhaps you should not be doing it, was my view.

Six Wii U games sell over a million copies
By continuing pursue its strategy of "Gaming Population Expansion" by producing games that can be enjoyed by the masses, Nintendo has achieved some impressive attach rates with a few of its Wii U titles and sales numbers for its Nintendo 3DS titles during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.
Since Pokémon X/Pokémon Y was simultaneously released globally back in October last year, it has sold 12.26M units, while Animal Crossing: New Leaf, released first in Japan in 2012 and subsequently in the west in June of last year, has sold 3.80 million units (7.66 million units life-to-date). Other key first-party titles released this year such as Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team also performed well, with each becoming two million unit sellers. Nintendo hasn\'t been hogging all the success however, as it reports that there have been hit titles from third-party publishers (none were specifically mentioned however). As a result, the worldwide hardware and software sales of the Nintendo 3DS hit 12.24 million and 67.89 million units respectively.
The following is a list of top selling Nintendo 3DS titles (Includes bundled and downloadable version):
- Pokémon X/Pokémon Y (12.26M)
- Mario Kart 7 (9.62M)
- Super Mario 3D Land (9.27M)
- New Super Mario Bros. 2 (7.82M)
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf (7.66M)
- Luigi\'s Mansion: Dark Moon (3.98M)
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3.35M)
- Nintendogs + Cats (3.50M)
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (2.51M)
- Paper Mario: Sticker Star (2.21M)
- Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (2.08M)
- Tomodachi Life (1.85M)
Wii U didn\'t have as an amazing year, but some of it does have some impressive feats of its own. Five of it\'s first-party titles, including Super Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U became million-seller titles, despite the Wii U business as a whole showing slow growth. As a result, worldwide Wii U hardware and software sales hit only 2.72 million and 18.86 million units respectively.
The following is a list of top selling Wii U titles (Includes bundled and downloadable version):
- New Super Mario Bros. U (4.16M, 67% attach rate)
- Nintendo Land (3.09M 50% attach rate)
- Super Mario 3D World (2.17M, 35% attach rate)
- New Super Luigi U (1.76M, 28% attach rate)
- Wii Party U (1.35M, 22% attach rate)
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (1.22M, 20% attach rate)
Nintendo DS still has some life in it as well, with global hardware and software sales for last fiscal year at 0.13 million and 10.29 million units respectively.
Still alive, but slowly dying out, Wii hardware and software sales for the last fiscal year were at 1.22 million and 26.16 million units respectively.
In total, net sales were at ¥571.7 billion, ¥394.7 billion or 69.0% of which came from overseas.
\"The Wii U hardware still has a negative impact on Nintendo's profits owing mainly to its markdown in the United States and Europe, and unit sales of software, which has high profit margins, did not grow sufficiently, leading to a gross profit of 163.2 billion yen,\" Nintendo told investors. \"Total selling, general and administrative expenses exceeded gross profit, resulting in an operating loss of 46.4 billion yen. Also, due to depreciation of the yen at the end of this period compared with the one at the end of the last fiscal year, exchange gains totaled 39.2 billion yen, leading to an ordinary income of 6.0 billion yen. On the other hand, mainly due to the balance of deferred tax assets reduced in relation to the losses carried over in the United States, there is a net loss of 23.2 billion yen.\"
On Wednesday, Nintendo reported a $229 million loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

Published on 17 July 2012 01:00 PM
Northern Ireland's population is increasing at a faster rate than at any point since the start of the Troubles, the first figures from last year's Census reveal.
On Census Day 2011 the Province had a population of 1,810,900 — an increase of 125,600 people (seven per cent) since the 2001 Census.
That is the fastest increase in the Province's population since the 1960s.
The total population of the six counties which make up Northern Ireland is bigger than it has ever been since the first comprehensive Census in Ireland was carried out in 1841, before the Potato Famine decimated the population of the island.
In the last decade the population has gone up by 125,600 — an increase of seven per cent on the 2001 population.
The Republic of Ireland's Census last year revealed a population of 4.6 million, meaning that 6.4 million people now live on the island.
Yesterday's partial Census results for Northern Ireland only covered the number, age, gender and household size of the population and further details which will reveal social and economic changes will be released over coming months.
The figures show that Northern Ireland has one of the youngest populations in Europe, but that the population as a whole is ageing significantly.
However, although there are 18,700 (seven per cent) fewer children, there are more pre-school children (aged 0-3), something which appears to go against the trend in the US where the recession has seen the birth rate fall.
Robert Beatty, Head of Census for Northern Ireland, said: "In a European context, we still have a young age profile, with one of the highest proportions of the population aged under 14."
That will have implications for the number of schools in the Province as the Department of Education attempts to decide on where to close or amalgamate schools.
The Census also reveals a significant rise in the number of the most elderly, as lifespans increase. In 2001 there were 23,300 people aged 85 or over; in the space of a decade that has now increased to 31,400 — an increase of 35 per cent.
That ageing population will have a substantial impact on resources at Stormont in coming years, particularly on the money required to fund senior citizens' free bus and rail passes and finance for health.
The figures show that 28 per cent of households now have just one person living in that house.
Although the population has risen by seven per cent, the number of households has increased by 12 per cent, one of the social factors which helped to push up house prices during the first six years of the last decade.
In 1961, half of the population lived in households of five or more people; today, only 22 per cent of the population live in such households.
There were 89,300 more births than deaths but the population went up by 125,600. Most of the roughly 36,000 difference was due to migration.
Details of the religious makeup of Northern Ireland are due to be released around the end of this year.
In past years the percentages of Roman Catholics and Protestants have been keenly analysed given the strong correlation between religion and politics in Northern Ireland.
However, recent polls suggest that record numbers of Catholics are happy for Northern Ireland to remain within the UK.
The response rate for last year's Census was 95 per cent — the same as that 10 years ago. However, 20 years ago the response rate was 98 per cent.
Dr Norman Cavan, Registrar General for Northern Ireland, said that there had been no prosecutions so far because, in many cases, it would not be in the public interest to prosecute – but said that officials had "not closed the book" on possible court action.
Finance Minister Sammy Wilson, whose department is responsible for the Census, said that it was the single largest statistical exercise carried out by government.
He said: "Over the course of the coming months further reports will be published. The more detailed information from the 2011 Census will assist and help to inform ministers when making important decisions on long-term policy initiatives that will have a direct impact on the people of Northern Ireland, including health and education to name but two."

- The email server that Britam use is "titanium.netdns.net", which is run on an IP block belonging to "Webvisions" who are a relatively small ISP with 2 class C subnets.
- They don't offer MS exchange, so it is most likely a Linux box. Oddly the mighty nmap seems to think it is a Apple AirPort Extreme (lol) so I think it is a Linux box with beefed up network stack security (ie: it doesn't give away the OS).
- Device type: WAP|storage-misc|general purpose|printer
- Running (JUST GUESSING): Apple embedded (93%), NetBSD 4.X (89%), Ricoh embedded (85%)
- OS CPE: cpe:/o:netbsd:netbsd:4.0
- Aggressive OS guesses: Apple AirPort Extreme WAP v7.3.2 (93%), Apple AirPort Extreme WAP or Time Capsule NAS device (90%), Apple Airport Extreme WAP (89%), NetBSD 4.0 (89%), Apple AirPort Extreme WAP (86%), Ricoh Aficio MP C6000 or GX3050N printer (85%)
- So as an educated guess, the username/passwords in the archives look like they are active-directory credentials (Windows network logins), but the mailserver is a standard Unix mailserver and the ISP doesn't have fancy services like MS Exchange integration.
- Having said all this, there is still a chance that the front end mailserver ("titanium.netdns.net") just forwards on email to an exchange server in Britam's internal network.
- Anyway, bottom line - those emails sound fishy to me.
- EDIT: Holy fuck, it does seem from a cursory look that the email is indeed genuine, see below.
- OK, last post - the plot thickens!!!
- After looking at the email headers (see below), I have to admit that the email does indeed look genuine.
- • The email was sent from "184.108.40.206" which is a BT Wholesale ADSL IP address.
- • From there it was then relayed via "smtp.clients.netdns.net [126.96.36.199]"
- • Finally it was delivered to a local mailbox on that server.
- I hate to admit it, but all these facts check out. So with Mythbusters objectivity I have to call this one plausible.
- I just really hope I don't get a visit from the plods for this ill advised sleuthing. (Shameless plug - Freelance sysadmin/coder for hire) ;)

This micro SD card came with my boyfriend's phone and we use it to transfer the pictures we take on his phone to the lap top. It is great that a phone comes with a removable storage device but in thia day and age 512 MB is very small and we regularly need to transfer our files and data in order to leave the micro SD card free for more pictures.
==Price and availability==
On eBay you can pick these up for around 90p. In my opinion this is a reasonable price to pay and I would not like to be paying much more for such a small capacity. Brand new, these will set you back around £4.50. For less than one pound more you can get a 1GB micro SD card. I would imagine that soon these little cards with miniscule amount of storage will be obsolete.
These micro SD cards are versatile and if you buy one, you will get it with an expansion card so that it can be used like any other normal SD card. The reason for making such small cards is that we like our technology to be as small and sleek as possible and obviously as this takes up hardly any room in the back of the phone, it helps keep things light and tiny!
The card measures 15 mm x 11 mm x 1 mm and is black in colour. It is really thin and I would consider it quite delicate!
With the Samsung phone, the SD card will hold around 200 pictures and a very short amount of video. It really is not enough for us.
The card comes with a 5 Yr warranty and is compatible with most Trans-flash devices. It is small and versatile and it is good that you get it free with a phone, although it would be much better if they game you at least a 1GB card or gave you the chance to upgrade the package.
The brand SanDisk is well known and has a good reputation for making good quality products. The quality of the product is excellent. The device is so small yet well made.
The speed of transfer from card to computer is slow compared with some of my larger SD cards. I tend to go for the cards nowadays that have a really high class; as time is money! This one is quite slow, although as we are never transferring that much data at a time, it does not necessarily bother me.
This card came with my phone along with the adaptor. I recently went on a family holiday and realised how little can actually fit in a 512MB memory card. I have had no problems in using it with any of my phones or on my PC, the speed is good. I do worry that I may lose/damage it as it is very small and fiddly when inserting into a phone. I believe buying a 512MB size is suitable only for people who have minimal requirements of musical or image files. It is most suitable for people who transfer files onto PC/Hard drive or print their photos straight away and then delete the files off the card. So in other words this size is good for frequent re-use and not storing your music collection or backing up your favourite photos. If you require a large variety of music on your mobile while out and about or wish to go on holiday a minimum of 1GB is advisable.
Flawless use so far. I have no worries when using this card. I purchased it about 10 months ago for use with my Motorola Razr. I am an avid user of my phone's camera for pictures, and this card serves my purposes just fine. Currently I have 152 photos stored of 640 x 480 resolution and about 20 minutes of video (174 x 144) with room to spare. It is simple and fast to transfer the data to your computer if you purchase an adapter. The only negative thing about this card - in relation to the Razr phone specifically - is that I find it difficult to remove from its slot. Not impossible, just takes me a few tries. Other people I know don't have as much trouble. This SanDisk micro SD card is very very thin and small! It's about 10 mm x 15 mm, I'm estimating. So you can lose it if you remove it, be careful! Lastly, I have dropped my Razr a LOT (oh I'd say twice a month) and the card and the data have been fine. I'd recommend this card if you like to take pictures daily and don't mind downloading data them occasionally to clear space.

Paced by a balanced attack on both sides of the ball, the Weber State Wildcats have reached the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2007. Can the Wildcats, led by Big Sky Player of the Year Davion Berry, pull off an early-round stunner?
ESPN Insider has your answers, as Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of Bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket. Plus, as Lunardi fills out his bracket, he'll give you his prediction on how each team will fare.
Best wins: Montana, North Dakota (three times)
Worst losses: at Idaho State, at Sacramento State
Conference finish: 1st, Big Sky
Polls and metrics: Weber State ended the season ranked 176th by KenPom and 162nd by ESPN's BPI.
All-time tourney record: 6-15
Coach's tourney record: Randy Rahe (0-1)
Bracketology chart | BPI information
(Note: Player statistics are for the full season, including conference tournament play.)
Starting lineup
Key bench players
Biggest strength: The Wildcats shoot it at a high percentage (48 percent) from the field and possess a wide array of scoring options. Because of the diverse skill set on their roster, they can beat you in a number of ways but especially thrive in high-scoring games.
Biggest weakness: Their schedule. Weber State is impressive across the board statistically, but they haven't beaten a team with an RPI in the top 150. The Wildcats dropped a pair games to BYU and UCLA in the nonconference schedule, but it's been a while since they've seen the caliber of competition they'll encounter in the NCAA tourney.
Best player: Davion Berry. He ranked in the top five in the Big Sky in scoring (19.1 PPG) and assists (4.0 APG) and provides the locomotion for practically everything the Wildcats do offensively. His versatility creates matchup issues for opposing defenses because of his ability to finish at the rim as well as shoot it from long range.
X factor: Jeremy Senglin. The Big Sky freshman of the year strokes it at 40 percent from behind the arc and takes pressure off Berry with his ability to stretch the defense. He's especially lethal in transition when left alone on the perimeter.
Offensive approach: The Wildcats take what the defense gives them. Berry is a dynamic player but uses his savvy to create opportunities for his teammates. Second-team All-Big Sky performer Tresnak is a skilled low-post player who is often provided space down low when Weber State's motion offense is in full effect.
Defensive approach: Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year Joel Bolomboy and Kyle Tresnak form a defensive tandem that would make most BCS schools envious. Bolomboy is typically assigned the opponent's best frontcourt player while Tresnak uses his length to control the paint. Their presence enables Weber State's guards to stay true to their perimeter assignments.
How they beat you: The Wildcats take high-quality shots and prevent you from doing so. "Solid" would be the best word to describe Weber State on both ends of the floor -- a direct reflection of Berry, its senior leader.
How you beat them: Get them in foul trouble. Bolomboy and Tresnak are game changers, but the Wildcats lack depth behind them. If Weber State is forced to "go small" with their lineup, they become very pedestrian.
(Note: All statistics in this section are courtesy of kenpom.com, and are accurate through games of March 9.)
Good stat: 52.0 free throw rate
The Wildcats reached the charity stripe more than any team in the Big Sky this season and converted at a 73 percent clip. Their ability to initiate contact and capitalize at the line helps create their desired tempo while getting the opposition into foul trouble.
Bad stat: 13.7 TO percentage D
The Wildcats are sound defensively, perhaps too sound. They take very few risks, which limits their ability to create turnovers. Because of their conservative approach, they rarely create easy scoring opportunities for themselves.
Best-case scenario: round of 64 upset
The Wildcats have the pieces to spring an upset, but the matchup has to be right. If Berry and Senglin catch fire from deep and Tresnak and Bolomboy take care of business defensively in the paint, they could stun a heavy favorite sleepwalking in the round of 64.
Worst-case scenario: one and done
The odds will be stacked against the Wildcats in almost any encounter in the tournament. They are a talented bunch, but a lack of experience against top-notch competition has them ill-prepared for the Big Dance.

Section I: Initial Screening
1. In addition to meeting all other criteria for admission to a
credential program, each candidate for a teaching credential will
be interviewed by a faculty member involved in that credential program.
2. Following the interview, the faculty member will either:
(a) recommend that the candidate should be admitted to the program;
(b) express concerns about the candidate's professional aptitude,
interpersonal skills, and/or baccalaureate-level command of spoken
English. The criteria for determining baccalaureate-level command
of spoken English are spelled out in Section IV, below.
3. If the interviewer concludes that the candidate's oral communication
skills might reasonably be expected to interfere significantly with
the candidate's ability to communicate in a classroom, the credential
program designee will inform the candidate and submit a written
referral for assessment, on a form approved by the Teacher Preparation
Committee, to the Speech/Language Assessment Committee. If all other
criteria for admission have been met, the candidate shall be considered
to be admitted to the program, subject to the condition that the
oral communication skills requirement also be satisfied.
4. Faculty in pre-requisite courses, such as EDEL 360 or EDEL 380,
are also encouraged to identify students whose oral communication
skills might require formal assessment and refer them to the Speech/Language
Assessment Committee.
Section II: Assessment
1. A three-member Speech/Language Assessment Committee shall be
responsible for administering the assessment and recommending a
plan of remediation for those students found to be in need of corrective
measures according to the criteria in Section IV. This committee
shall be a standing committee reporting to the Multiple-Subject
and Single-Subject Credential Programs. The members shall be nominated
by the Departments of Communicative Disorders, Linguistics, and
Speech Communication, respectively, and confirmed by vote of the
Teacher Preparation committee. The members shall serve staggered
two year terms and shall be eligible for reappointment. The Office
of the Provost will be responsible for compensating the members
with assigned time if the workload of the committee is found to
justify such compensation.
2. When students are referred as a result of the initial screening
in Section I of this document, the Speech/Language Assessment Committee
will conduct an initial interview/assessment.
3. If the committee determines that a candidate does NOT have a
speech or language difficulty that would significantly interfere
with the candidate's ability to communicate in a classroom, then
the candidate shall be deemed to have passed the oral communication
skills requirement.
4. If the committee determines that a candidate DOES have a speech
or language difficulty that would significantly interfere with the
candidate's ability to communicate in a classroom, then the committee
shall specify a plan of remediation, including actions to be taken,
a time-line to be followed, and an estimate of the probability of
a. Upon completing the plan of remediation, the candidate shall
return to the Speech/Language Assessment Committee for a final interview/assessment.
b. After the final assessment, the committee shall report to the
appropriate credential program whether the candidate has passed
the oral communication skills requirement.
5. If a candidate disagrees with the process followed by the Speech/Language
Assessment Committee or with a finding by the Committee that the
candidate has a speech or language difficulty that would significantly
interfere with the candidate's ability to communicate in a classroom,
then the candidate may within ten working days submit a written
appeal to the director of the appropriate credential program.
a. There shall be an Appeal Panel Pool consisting of five faculty
members from the various credential programs and several school
district professionals. The members of the pool shall be selected
by the credential programs at the start of each academic year and
shall serve one-year terms.
b. An appeal panel to hear the appeal of a given candidate shall
consist of two faculty members and one school district professional
selected on a rotating basis from the Appeal Panel Pool.
c. Within ten working days of the receipt of an appeal from a candidate,
an appeal panel shall be selected from the appeal panel pool. The
appeal panel shall receive the candidate's written appeal, the candidate's
recommendation letters and statement of professional goals and objectives,
and the assessment of the Speech/Language Assessment Committee.
The appeal panel shall interview the candidate within ten working
days from the time it is formed, adjourn to executive session, and
then make its decision. The decision of the appeal panel is final.
Section III: Continued Screening
Following the initial screening or assessment, or during prerequisite
courses such as EDEL 380 and EDSS 300, the oral communication skills
of all teacher education students will be continuously screened
by the credential program faculty, including student-teaching supervisors.
If this continuous screening detects students with unremediated
and/or previously undiagnosed oral communication difficulties, the
student shall be referred to the Speech/Language Assessment Committee
in accordance with Section I, paragraph 3.
Section IV: Criteria
1. Any language disfluency or disability must significantly interfere
with classroom communication to be a basis for referral or failure
to pass the oral-communication skills requirement. While regional
and social dialects or non-native features of English may be present,
these should not be construed as a basis for referral or failure
to pass the oral skills requirement unless they significantly interfere
with potential job performance in classroom communication. Students
may not be discriminated against on the basis of a disability for
which a prospective employer could reasonably be expected to make
an accommodation.
2. Students shall be evaluated according to the following criteria:
Communicative: Demonstrates ability to get the message across in
an appropriate manner. Maintains dialogue, answering questions appropriately
with sufficient information and with little or no hesitation. Seeks
clarification if necessary and when appropriate.
Fluent: Demonstrates smoothness and readiness of speech. Speaks
with ease and without verbal distractions. Is easily understood.
(While regional and social dialect or non-native features of English
may be present, these do not interfere with communication.)
Lacks Sufficient Communicative Ability: May be able to exchange
views or provide some information, but with hesitations, errors,
and/or an inappropriate style which detracts significantly from
the flow of the dialogue. Provides insufficient information unless
prompted by the interviewer. Has difficulty understanding questions
or prompts and yet fails to seek clarification.
Lacks Fluency: Demonstrates deficiencies in language forms or communicative
style which significantly interfere with communication.
Effective: Fall 1993

Mashack has best area showing
HERSHEY There's no denying Tamaqua's Colin Mashack has had an impressive sophomore season.
Besides reaching the state tournament and assuring himself the top medal finish among TIMES NEWS area Class AA wrestlers, the 106-pounder has already put his name high up on the Blue Raider single-season wins list.
After splitting his matches on Friday night, Mashack earned a spot in this afternoon's fifth-place consolation bout at the PIAA State Wrestling Championships here at the Giant Center. He also gained his 40th win of the season a feat only one other Tamaqua wrestler has accomplished.
That other wrestler was Garth Lakitsky, who also reached the 40-win plateau at Hershey. Lakitsky finished with 42 a year ago when he claimed a state championship.
"Colin has worked extremely hard," said Tamaqua head coach Jim McCabe. "He's pretty much vowed to competition all season. We bumped him up to 113 sometimes and we dropped him down to 106 just to get competition.
"Prior to the district tournament, he had wrestled six guys with district, regional and state placements and he only lost one of those matches."
Mashack beat Tri-Valley's Caleb Bordner for the fourth time this year ny posting a 7-3 win in the third round consolations. He then dropped a 6-0 decision to Ligonier Valley's Justin Patrick in the fourth round consis.
Patrick (38-2) took Mashack down in the first and second periods where they started neutral. He added a reversal in the third period.
"He's improved the whole season," said McCabe. "He has his mind set and goes to the things he's comfortable with and sticks with those things and doesn't put himself in any bad situations."
In the fifth place medal match, Mashack will have a rematch with Saegertown's Tyler Vath (42-3), who he lost to in overtime by a 7-5 decision in the quarterfinals.
Palmerton's Sam Oberlander and Kane Kralik lost third round consi matches and will wrestle for seventh place medals.
Oberlander was pinned by Bermudian Springs' Matt Farley (42-2) at 120 pounds in 2:10 and will wrestle Oley Valley's Joey Fick (31-6).
Kralik used a 4-2 overtime win in Friday morning's consis over Jacob Krupa of Bedford to move on to the evening round against Matt Mongera (29-6) and lost a 7-1 decision.
The Bombers' 220-pounder will meet Fort Cherry's Greg Kumer (33-5) for seventh.
"We had a lot of close matches out here," said Palmerton head coach Dave Lavin. "Some of them didn't go our way and some did.
"Both of Sam and Kane's opponents here tonight were state runnerups at some point. You just got to wrestle, they tried, and we'll move on from here and try to get that seventh place."
Northern Lehigh's Ty Herzog wrestled Seneca's Joe Hibbler and wound up a 15-2 loser in third round consis.
Herzog and Hibbler banged heads early in the match and the Bulldog 145-pounder never seemed the same after that.
The Northern Lehigh junior will take on Kane's Evan Delong (40-3) for seventh place.
"We came out last year and he kind of got his feet wet and his eyes open about how difficult it is to medal," said Northern Lehigh head coach Todd Herzog. "We're going home with some hardware, but that's not good enough. He's got five minutes left to wrestle yet."
Lehighton's Michael Balliet wound up meeting Tristan Sponseller (47-3) of Bermudian Springs, who he lost to 3-2 at regionals last week, in the 170-pound third round consi.
Balliet jumped out to a 5-3 first period lead and trailed 8-7 entering the final period. The Lehighton senior didn't give up and wound up on the short end of a 10-9 decision when it was all over.
He'll get a rematch with Mount Carmel's Brett Przekop (31-4) who he defeated by a 6-3 decision in the first round.
"When you get out here (to states), all of your opponents are good," said Lehighton head coach Dan Williams. "He didn't give up and was a split second away from having a win."
Balliet will be the first wrestler to medal for Lehighton since Derek Brownmiller in 2006.
Northwestern's Levi Veppert also lost his third round consolation match to Eastern York's Alex Cooley by a 3-2 decision. Veppert led 2-1 and Cooley managed a takedown with two seconds left for the decision at 182 pounds.
Veppert will now get Pen Argyl's Dylan Evans (37-9) for the seventh place medal.
Class 2A action resumes this afternoon with the Parade of Champions at 1:45 followed by third, fifth and seventh place consolations and the finals.
