"We're looking forward to Coach Bartow guiding our program for a number of years to come," Mullins said. "He has taken our program to a level of national recognition with multiple trips to postseason tournaments including two trips to the NCAAs, and he has reached a level of consistent success that we believe should be rewarded. As our team showed with its play in the NCAAs against No. 1-seeded Pittsburgh, Coach Bartow has recruited the type of skilled players that can allow our program to compete against the nation's elite teams."
Bartow said he is pleased and grateful for the opportunity to coach the Buccaneers into the next decade.
"I want to thank Coach Mullins and Dr. Stanton for their support of our program and having confidence in the direction we are going," Bartow said. "My family and I love East Tennessee State and over the last six years we have come to consider this area home. As for our coaching staff and our program, we've had a lot of great years here and won a lot of games, but we want to keep building and keep improving. There is still more we can do."
Bartow has certainly built a strong resume in his previous six seasons on the ETSU bench, averaging nearly 20 wins a season and currently leading the Bucs' all-time coaching list with a .621 (118-72) winning percentage. He has led the Bucs to conference championships in 2004, 2007 and 2009, along with trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2004 and 2009, and a berth in the NIT in 2007.
A Coach of the Year recipient in 2004 and 2007, Bartow was also praised by Mullins for recruiting quality individuals into the program, his efforts to increase ETSU's exposure in the college basketball world, and his support of ETSU athletics as a whole.
"Coach Bartow's connections around the nation and his networking skills have helped us reach another level of exposure in college basketball circles," Mullins said. "And it's those contacts that have also helped us recruit players that succeed both on the floor and in the classroom. Coach Bartow's teams have shown a dedication to academic success, as well as a priority to be involved in community service efforts. He has also been an example to our coaches when it comes to supporting department initiatives that benefit ETSU athletics as a whole."
Bartow said stability in his coaching staff, quality players, the support of ETSU's fan base, and a strong administrative support system, have come together to make for a winning formula.
"Our coaching staff has stayed together since we came here, and that has been a big key to our success," Bartow said. "I think at programs like ETSU, there is a perception around college basketball that you have a couple of good years and move on. But I don't feel that way. There are a lot of things to like about ETSU and a lot of potential for what can be done here. I think we have a lot to look forward to."

My good friend Marion has completed her book about the segregated Union High School of Caroline County, VA. I was lucky enough to share in many of the ups and downs of her two-plus year research journey, and I know what a labor of love this book is. As soon as I got my copy, I read it from cover to cover. It is a wonderful, wonderful book. Marion's enslaved ancestors were from Caroline County and it was during her genealogy research that she became enamored of the story of this high school and its central role in the lives of African-Americans.
This book captures the essence of genealogy: it is not about a single family or lineage, but rather about a community and a snapshot of a certain time and place. While we uncover dates and names to add to our family trees, it is this kind of work that puts substance and meaning into those names. Although my family is not from Caroline County, I can't help but to know that many of their experiences were the experiences of most African-Americans in the early 20th century. The memories she recorded: walking miles to get to schools that were sometimes dilapidated but filled with passionate instructors, working on the family farm every day, leaving school to continue work or get married, respecting teachers and administrators at school because they knew your parents—all of these recollections could be my ancestors in Tennessee, Maryland or Florida during that timeframe. I am awed by the sacrifices that were made in the name of education. I so wish the students of today could have a better understanding of these realities, and perhaps a better appreciation for it.
Marion interviewed dozens of former Union High students and visited numerous libraries & research facilities during her research. She collected pictures and digitized yearbooks, and found the original deeds for the land, and gathered pamphlets and albums of the school band and traced many students through their college years at Virginia State University.
I am envious of the work Marion has done with such passion, tenacity and resilience. Recording the history of the communities we research is such important work. If we don't do it, who will? Please rush and pick up a copy of this book (and be sure to follow her blog on preserving local history as well!) I promise it is well worth the cost.

BRANDON — One man is dead and another remains hospitalized after the first human cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus in Vermont were detected in Brandon and Whiting on Saturday, and state officials are on the offensive.
Richard Hollis Breen, 87, of Brandon died Tuesday from the disease and a man from Sudbury remains hospitalized on Wednesday. Breen lived on the emu farm in Brandon where at least 16 emus died from the disease last September when EEE was for the first time detected in animals in the state.
BRANDON — Sixteen emus on a farm in Brandon have died in what is Vermont's first documented case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
Area veterinarian Keely Henderson sent brain tissue and blood samples from the dead emus to a University of New Hampshire lab last Wednesday, Sept. 21, and the results were received late next day.

I'd be interested in playing. When are you available? I'm pretty much restricted to weekends unless you're interested in playing in the evening. I'm also in a hurry to get on the courts while the weather's nice.

Content Marketing and Keyword Density Tool Use are buzzwords of the moment but there is confusion over what that really is and why a business should do it. This article sets out some of the basics.
The Best Keyword Research and More Traffic Strategies
If you create content that your prospective customers need and want, they will find it, consume and engage with it and ultimately transact a profitable action with you. They may also share that Keyword Density Tool Use derived content with their own friends and contacts, amplifying the effect.
So this is where you start – developing a content marketing strategy. First you need to work out what your audience wants. Finding them is easy, but working out what they're really interested in and why they visit certain sites or retail outlets is the issue.
All consumers are looking for solutions to their problems. Work out what those problems are and you can target your article marketing based on your Keyword Density Tool Use derived strategies for maximum effect.
Once the aims of the content marketing programme are set and customer needs identified, then you need to create the content to fulfil that need. That content can take many forms – here are just a few; videos, infographics, social media content, apps, website articles, blogs, eNewsletters, photos/illustrations, animations, webinars, microsites, etc.
If you can't produce that content yourself, you will need the support of writers, bloggers, designers and web developers. You will need a network of tried and trusted partners – videographers, coders, app builders etc – who will work to your strategy and brief.
How to Use ArticleBuilder.net to Create Easy, Profitable Sites Quickly!Find ONE Good Keyword.
Since Article Builder creates content, selects the title and builds links to thearticles that it posts to your blogs for you without you having to lift a finger, you don't have to deal with keyword research on your internal pages. That means the only keyword research you need to do (and you don't even really "NEED" to do it… it just helps,) is for the homepage.
To do this use Jon Leger's Keyword Titan Software but you can also use the Google Keyword Tool and stick in any one of the general categories that Article Builder covers. Next, just go to the homepage of Article Builder to find the list.
Now filter down to only those keywords that have at least 1,000 exact global monthly searches and that is fairly general… just about any topic under that niche would fit "under" it.
Then grab all of those keywords and start plugging them into the keyword analyzer of Keyword Titan until I find one that has a "Moderate" to "Easy" competition rating.
If you don't have Keyword Titan it's not quite as accurate, but you can go by the Google Keyword Tool's competition metrics and find one that has "Low" to "Medium" competition.
Once you have found one, that's what you target the homepage (root) of your new blog to. Of course you can get MUCH more in depth and technical with your keyword research and there's nothing wrong with that. But just go for volume and don't waste much time.

Content Marketing Trends in 2017
The world of content marketing is slowly enveloping traditional marketing, although many consumers are unaware of the actual difference. In order for consumers to make rational purchases, it is essential that they know of the different marketing techniques that their suppliers are using, otherwise they may fall for an advertisement full of chicanery. Wasting money on a product that is not what the consumer needs or wants is never the ideal situation; therefore, you should educate yourself on the various marketing techniques used by companies so that you can avoid the traps set up by greedy company owners who do not care for their customers' ultimate satisfaction with their products.
The Basics
First, we should start off by reviewing the basic vocabulary of the marketing world. The first word on the list is marketing itself - what is does that mean, exactly? Marketing is defined as the total activities involved in selling or buying products, including advertising, transportation of goods, storage of goods, etc. However, to many consumers and business owners, marketing mostly takes on the definition of anything involving only the advertising of a product or products. This is also the definition that this article will use.
Now it is time to review the term "traditional marketing." Traditional marketing involves an advertisement that specifically focuses on selling the consumer a company or a company's product. This includes commercials on TV, ads in magazines and newspapers, and banner advertisements on websites. This type of marketing is slowly fading away, since consumers nowadays are doing anything within their power to avoid these advertisements. TV providers now offer DVR, where consumers can actually skip over TV commercials. Magazine and newspaper ads are easy to ignore, as well as banner advertisements scattered throughout the internet. Business owners are realizing that traditional marketing is no longer working to sell their products, so they are frantically searching for new ways to attract consumers. This is where content marketing steps in.
"Content marketing" means just what the name implies: advertising with content. Content is information and material that actually has a valuable significance. Traditional marketing has information and material, but it lacks a valuable significance. Consumers want information that they can use outside of their decision of whether or not to buy a product. For example, traditional marketing of a food item, such as a cup of yogurt, might include how delicious that cup of yogurt is, how many calories are in that cup of yogurt, and how inexpensive that cup of yogurt is. Now, if that same yogurt company wants to start using content marketing instead of traditional marketing, then they can produce a booklet or pamphlet letting consumers know the overall health benefits of all yogurts, not just their yogurt. This pamphlet contains valuable information for the consumer's well-being that does not just focus on selling a specific cup of yogurt from a specific yogurt company.
Why Content Marketing is Better
You have already gotten a glimpse at why content marketing is better than traditional marketing. Other than the fact that consumers are much less inclined to completely ignore content marketing, why is it overall more effective than traditional marketing? Well, there are actually a few reasons. First of all, content marketing builds a connection between the consumer and the supplier. After reading the useful information provided by a company, the consumer might feel as if that company does actually care about their well-being. This will lead a consumer to make a purchase from that company rather than a company that makes their customers feel less important with very obnoxious traditional advertisements.
Another reason is that if consumers feel as if they know more about a product in general, they will be less hesitant to purchase that product. Back to the yogurt example, if someone knows how salutary yogurt actually is, then they will have a stronger desire to purchase a cup of yogurt. Content marketing can let consumers know the health value of yogurt in a less intrusive way than traditional marketing.
Content marketing can actually be exciting for a consumer to read, unlike traditional advertisements. Traditional advertisements are often assertive and obnoxious; therefore, consumers will try to avoid them. Content marketing has valuable information that consumers actually want to read for their own benefit. There might be a weekly informational article that a company produces for their customers, and this will attract a lot more attention than a banner advertisement sitting at the top of a website that is irrelevant to the subject matter.
Why You Should Pay Attention to Content Marketing
Just because a company markets their products by way of content does not mean that their products are actually better than another company's products. Before making any purchase, you should evaluate the actual quality of the specific product. Many companies use content marketing to make their customers feel comfortable with them, therefore customers are more likely to purchase a product from that company without thinking twice. This can lead a customer to lose a lot of money on a product that is subpar. You, as a consumer, should use content marketing to your advantage. Gather information from content marketing from different companies to learn more about a subject, and always evaluate the quality of a specific product before making a purchase. Do not become dedicated to a company that produces low-quality products, even if the company makes you feel comfortable and important with content marketing. This smart consumer technique may save you a lot of money in the long run, and now you know more about the marketing techniques and traps that companies try to ensnare consumers with.

Sugar is my only true vice. I never smoked, I'm not a drinker, I might run too much but really sugar is my vice. I always knew that in terms of my waistline sugar was a problem, but I didn't realize all the other ways in which processed sugars are effecting my health until reading Jackie Warner's book (book review post coming!).
Once you start looking for information on what processed sugar does to the body, the results are astounding and overwhelming.
Seriously, I said cancer! Did you know they are able to link sugar to cancer? Not only does excess sugar depress your immune system, but it creates insulin…insulin feeds all the cells in your body including those of cancer causing them to grow larger at a more rapid pace.
Sugar damages collagen and thus creates wrinkles! Because of the decrease in collagen your skin looks less "supple" and leaves your skin more vulnerable to sun damage. You can see everyday examples of this on the faces of people with uncontrolled diabetes.
Sugar damages your liver
Sugar is bad for your heart
Sugar makes arthritis worse
Sugar causes cavities
Sugar causes diabetes
Sugar causes obesity
Heroin and sugar are arrived at by very similar processes of refinement. In producing heroin, the opium is first extracted from the poppy: The opium is then refined into morphine. The chemists then went to work on morphine and further refined it into heroin, proclaiming they had "discovered" a wonderful new pain-killer that was non-addictive. So they said.
Similarly, sugar is first pressed as a juice from the cane (or beet) and refined into molasses. Then it is refined into brown sugar, and finally into strange white crystals C12H22O, that are an alien chemical to the human system.
The "but I'm a runner and burn off the calories" logic is what has long allowed me to continue eating a daily cookie or piece of chocolate…but here's the thing this isn't about calories, it's about the effect of sugar on your body. It can cause osteoporosis and really aggravate arthritis. Does that sound conducive to a long running life?
Did you know about all of these effects? Do you monitor your sugar intake?

In 2003, Herman Hipp Hall was the first LEED-certified building in South Carolina. Since then, all major construction projects on Furman's campus have followed LEED standards. We've also implemented energy efficiency projects in existing buildings, including a recommissioning program for all buildings, beginning with Riley Hall. This recommissioning program ensures all our existing buildings are using only as much energy as necessary. Engineers and outside testing companies will evaluate and test the buildings' heating and air conditioning systems to make sure they're working as efficiently as possible. They'll also test and repair the Building Automation Systems, which adjust the climate and lighting according to when the building is being used. Our green buildings include: Charles H. Townes Science Center The Townes Science Center incorporates an array of renewable energy components, including a solar/aquatic waste water treatment system, two hybrid solar concentrators, day-lighting, energy recovery wheels, and a sophisticated chilled-beam cooling system for thermal efficiency. These high performance facilities are more than just classrooms; they provide learning and research opportunities for students. The features in this building earned it LEED Gold certification. Herman W. Lay Physical Activities Center Since the late 1970s, the roof of this LEED Silver-certified building has been home to a large solar thermal system that generates hot water for the building. The roof also holds a 95 kW solar photovoltaic array, which quadruples the university's capacity for renewable energy generation. And the green technology doesn't stop outside the building. The elliptical machines are equipped with ReRev technology, which harnesses energy that would otherwise be lost to heat. Hipp Hall Built with a radiant energy barrier and green materials like fly ash concrete, Hipp Hall isn't just South Carolina's first LEED building. It's the first Gold-certified structure in the state. It features carbon dioxide monitors that can adjust air flow based on the building's occupancy. Thomas Spann Farmer Hall Home to Furman's Development office, this was the fourth building on campus to receive a LEED certification. Shi Center for sustainability Originally built as Southern Living Magazine's model sustainable home, the cottage has housed the David E. Shi Center for Sustainability since 2010. The LEED Gold-certified cottage was built using as many local and sustainable materials as possible. It was also built with energy efficient measures and photovoltaic panels, which generate 31kW of solar power. James Buchanan Duke Library Our LEED Gold-certified building is constructed with fly ash, a by-product of coal burning. Fly ash reduces the amount of cement required in the concrete, which reduces the demand for high-energy consumption cement production. Inside the building, the reading rooms are equipped with photo sensors to measure available daylight and control when the overhead lights should turn on. James C. Furman Hall Home to classrooms, administrative offices, new student reception and the president's office, this building was built to LEED standards. Younts Conference Center A popular venue for both weddings and large meetings, this building was built to LEED standards.

On Monday's Castle (10/9c, ABC) our titular mystery writer believes he's being haunted. So, who's he going to call for help? (Hint: It's not the Ghostbusters.)
When Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) investigate a string of strange deaths, Castle accidentally watches the "haunted DVD" that he believes might be causing their victims to croak. Cue a full-on panic attack by Castle, who believes he's marked for death.
Fall TV Scorecard: What's renewed? What's canceled?In the exclusive first look at the episode below, Castle gets so scared that he actually calls on a fellow storyteller for help: horror master Wes Craven ! "I know you've researched evil spirits who reach out from the beyond for all your films," Castle says. "I was just wondering if you knew how to stop those pesky suckers."Needless to say, Craven is less than enthused by Castle's interruption. See how he responds in the video below.Castle airs Mondays at 10/9c on ABC.

(Original of photo and lots more F-5 info may be found here)
On the bike commute home recently, seen in the skies above Fort Worth Alliance Airport, a Northrop F-5 flew overhead several times. The F-5 is my second-favorite fighter of all time. I still cheer whenever I see one. When I saw "Top Gun," I rooted for the "Migs." My first job at Northrop, in 1978, was working on composite parts for the F-5 and T-38.
There are definite common threads between aviation and cycling. To adapt a famous aviation quote from Captain A. G. Lamplugh, substituting "bicycling" for "aviation" and "motoring" for "the sea," we get:
"Bicycling in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than motoring, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect."
I still get a thrill bicycle commuting as well. We're headed into one of the best times of the year for it as Labor Day approaches. Aviation and cycling are both safe and fun. Both are best approached with recognition that the safety is dependent on the pilot. Thanks to the aviation and cycling "Johns" that gifted this to me...
For those somewhat interested in aviation, the photo shows a clear application of the Whitcomb Area Rule. Note the narrow waist of the F-5. This is to reduce total cross section of the combined body and wing where the wing makes things "fat." The F-5 is an early application of this rule and substantially reduces transonic drag. For a much later application, note how the "hump" of the 747-400 fairs out as the wing starts. Personally, I think it adds to the beauty of the F-5. It certainly has added to its longevity, now 50 years and counting. The 747 has also proven to be long lived, now at over 40 years with a new model just coming out...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Alexey Shved made two 3-pointers and scored 12 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter in the Minnesota Timberwolves' 82-75 exhibition victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
Nikola Pekovic had 16 points and 17 rebounds, and Brandon Roy added 13 points in his comeback attempt.
Kirk Hinrich led the Bulls with 15 points, Joakim Noah added 14 points and 13 rebounds. Nazr Mohammed finished with 10 points for Chicago.
The Bulls led 60-58 after three quarters, but Shved, a member of the Russian Olympic team who signed with the Minnesota over the summer, helped the Wolves grab control. He made a free throws with 7:59 to give Minnesota the lead for good at 67-66, and added five points in an 11-0 Minnesota run midway through the fourth quarter.
Chicago played without Luol Deng and Richard Hamilton, both of whom were experiencing general soreness. Minnesota did not have Kevin Love (elbow) or Andrei Kirilenko (left hamstring) available.

In 1949 Tom began high school at Danforth Tech in Toronto. "The school had an academic course," says Tom, "but it was mostly industrial arts... the printing trade, auto mechanics... and they had a first rate commercial art course, which had all the basic fundamentals."
"I wanted to work in the arts... and everybody wanted to make a living. But how do you put the two together? I didn't think about that much. At that point I just wanted to be published in magazines or newspapers... but I had no definitive direction. I wanted to (if I could) bring my painting level up to the level I admired."
Tom says he didn't realize at the time how fortunate he was, because immediately after high school he had a job waiting for him at a major commercial art studio, Rapid Grip and Batten. Tom explains, "They had a system where they picked an art student each year and they'd offer him a job. And I didn't have to look for a job. At the time I just naively figured, good, I'll take it!"
"I had really no idea that it was the studio that had supported the Group of Seven. Most of the Group had worked there in their earlier days, until their work had gained enough publicity. And there were good designers and illustrators already working there and I just started an apprenticeship, as in any kind of craft. You just sweep up and change the water bowls and clean the brushes... and I was happy to be there."
One of the first 'real' jobs Tom remembers being asked to do in that first summer of '53 was a line drawing of a large glass bottle of olives. "It was a bit of a struggle trying to suggest glass in line," recalls Tom. "The drawing was ok," he says, "but when the salesman came around to get the drawing he said, "ok, give me the sample." I had left the jar open and all the fellows in the studio had taken one or two olives. So I had to go out and buy olives and repack the jar."
Tom kept working on his portfolio, changing his samples as often as he could, in the hopes of getting work from the magazines. "I was keen to try every medium," says Tom, "so whether the medium suited the problem or not, I didn't give two hoots. So they didn't work very often.When something should have been softly painted, I was doing a hard line drawing. When something should have been a hard line drawing I was making a chalk drawing."
"But that's experience..."
When I asked Tom how it felt when he finally saw his work in print, he says, "Yeah, it was good... but most of the time, most of the guys I knew, any fellow illustrator... you're rushing so hard to develop your own style, you're just kind of blind to the world. You just sort of hope you live long enough so your eyes open."
Next weekend will see the launch of "Tom McNeely, 50 Years of Visual Arts", a book showcasing work from every period in Tom's career. If you would like to order the book, you can contact the artist at fmcneely(at)rogers(dot)com

NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver and German Aerospace Center (DLR) Executive Board Chairman Johann-Dietrich Wörner signed an agreement on 10 June 2010 during a bilateral meeting at the Berlin Air Show, ILA, to extend the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission through the end of its on-orbit life, expected in 2015.
Launched in March 2002, GRACE tracks changes in Earth's gravity field by noting minute variations in gravitational pull from local changes in Earth's mass. To do this, GRACE measures, to one-hundredth the width of a human hair, changes in the separation of two identical spacecraft in the same orbit approximately 137 miles (220 kilometers) apart. The agreement is an amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed by NASA and DLR in 1998.
"The signing extension demonstrates the strength of the NASA-DLR partnership and our commitment to continue working together in this very important area of Earth science," said Deputy Administrator Garver.
NASA and DLR jointly developed the GRACE mission and have cooperated on its operational phase since its launch in March 2002. For the twin satellite mission, NASA provided the instruments and selected satellite components plus data validation and archiving. DLR provided the primary satellite components, launch services and operations.
GRACE maps gravity-field variations from month to month, following changes imposed by the seasons, weather patterns and short-term climate change.
"The extension of the very successful mission will deliver more valuable data that will help us understand how Earth's mass and gravity varies over time. This is an important component necessary to study changes in global sea level, polar ice mass, deep ocean currents, and depletion and recharge of continental aquifers. We appreciate the strong cooperation with our partner NASA", said DLR Chairman Woerner.
GRACE's monthly maps are up to 100 times more accurate than existing maps, substantially improving the accuracy of techniques used by oceanographers, hydrologists, glaciologists, geologists and climate scientists.
Data from the GRACE mission has been used to measure the amount of water lost in recent years from the aquifers for California's primary agricultural region, the Central Valley. An international study recently used GRACE data to show that ice losses from Greenland's ice sheet are now spreading rapidly up its northwest coast.

Actress/writer/worst person to sit next to on a plane ever Annie Mumalo is a very funny woman, and it's wonderful that she'll be starring in an ABC's comedy pilot called Middle Age Rage.
Deadline reports that it'll be written by Cheryl Holiday, and the focus will be on a "fed up" wife and mother who's tired of "feeling invisible and begins to speak up and demand the respect she feels she's earned."
So, like, a funny, female-driven Falling Down without the guns? I'm in!

RIO DE JANEIRO — It was all long faces, but heads held high, for the legion of American fans who traveled to Brazil for the World Cup, only to watch their team lose 2-1 to Belgium in extra time.
Upward of 20,000 people, mostly Americans, packed the golden sands of Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro in front of a giant TV screen set up in the FIFA Fan Fest watch area in Rio.
Fans stood and cheered the entire time, packed tightly and with barely any wiggle room to get through the crowd.
Like many fans, Travis Rood, a 28-year-old from Seattle, his face painted red, white and blue and an American flag draped around his shoulder, started to leave the beach after Belgium went up 2-0.
But Rood froze in his tracks and turned around after the U.S. scored a late goal to spark hope that ultimately faded with the final whistle.
"This World Cup was a turning point for us," he said. "People around the world are beginning to respect us as a team."
A common refrain, Rood said there was no shame in losing to the young, talented Belgian team, who now move on to a tough quarter-final match with Argentina.
"They're a small country but on paper," he said of Belgium. "But they're twice as good as we are at soccer."
At a pub in Sao Paulo, Brazil's biggest city, it got so packed people were sitting on the floor to watch the match. They shouted every time U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard made a spectacular save — which he did 16 times.
Many of the American faithful in Sao Paulo were shouting the U.S. chant of "I believe that we will win" throughout the game. Some added emphatically "We love you!" for their team.
But in the end, most acknowledged that Belgium played a much better game, saying the U.S. waited too long to go on the attack.
"Belgium just played much better. They deserve it," said Nick Venditti, a 26-year-old from New York. "I am still happy we made it out of the 'group of death.' That wasn't easy."
He added, hopefully: "In the next four years, we will be so much better."
Associated Press writer Adriana Gomez Licon in Sao Paulo contributed to this report.

When I see a student perform a movement, I feel like saying:
- Generating power the way you are doing it, your movement has a potential of 3 (out of 10).
- Transferring power the way you are doing it, your movement has a potential of 2.
- Executing the technique the way you are doing it (the shape and pattern), your movement has a potential of 5.
- Executing the technique with your understanding of the meaning of the technique, your movement has a potential of 3.
- How does the student generate power?
- How does the student transfer power?
- What is the range of applications based on the form of the movement?
- What is the range of applications based on the student's understanding of the movement?
Take a simple punch (chudan zuki). First, the student needs to know how to get power into the punch (whole body dynamics). Next, the student needs to know how to transfer that power through the punch into the attacker (striking surface, kime, kikomi). If he punches in a very linear and limited way, he will probably only be able to execute a very linear and limited punch. But if he understands that the punch presents a range of possible movements, then the doors are opened. And if he knows where and how to hit most effectively, then that is really something. For example, a punch to the center of the attacker's chest might have a certain effect. If the student has a great deal of power and can transfer it effectively, he might be able to knock down the attacker. But there are many other places to hit in that general area that will have a much greater effect with much less effort. A skilled Karate expert is a little bit like a surgeon. He will hit or strike for maximum effect -- and the won't waste the recoil of the punch or the location of his fist after the punch either.
So... there are a lot of things to consider.
When I see a student or instructor who rates high on all of the four questions I presented at the beginning of this post, I think, "watch out for him (or her)!"

City Property, Department of[Record group 68]
- Alternative/Former Names
- City Property, Bureau of ;
Markets & City Property, Department of
Agency Function
- The functions of this agency are currently performed by the Department of Public Property.
- Agency History
- The office of the Commissioner of City Property was created by an Ordinance of October 1, 1835, and had placed under its control the real estate and buildings owned by the City, gathering then under one officer from the control of the City Commissioners, Clerks of the Markets, Port Wardens, and others. (Councils' Committee on City Property exercised almost complete executive control over this office however, and pertinent records for the period before 1854 will be found listed among Councils' records series.) At the consolidation of the City and County in 1854 there were formed three independent departments of City Property, Markets, and Wharves and Landings. The latter two were combined into the Department of Markets, Wharves and Landings in 1856, and in 1867 was formed the Department of Markets and City Property which also retained control of the City's wharves. In 1887 this department was absorbed by the new Department of Public Works, under the provisions of the Bullitt Bill of 1885 and enabling Ordinance of 30 December 1886. Under provisions of an Ordinance approved on 22 March 1888, the Department of Markets and City Property was abolished and a new Bureau of City Property created and placed in the Department of Public Safety. In 1912, it was returned to the Department of Public Works. In 1907, the Bureau's duties in regard to wharves and landings were assigned to the then-formed Department of Wharves, Docks, and Ferries.
The Bureau of City Property assumed the responsibility for completing and maintaining City Hall from the Commissioners for the erection of the Public Buildings upon the latter's demise in 1901 (Act of 11 May 1901, Ordinance of 26 June 1901). The Bureau of City Property continued to maintain the buildings on Independence Square until 1949 when the responsibility for maintenance (but not ownership) was assumed by the Independence National Historical Park.

New Bern aldermen met with the city manager and staff Saturday during their annual retreat at the N.C. History Center to discuss goals and objectives for the city.
New Bern aldermen met with the city manager and staff Saturday during their annual retreat at the N.C. History Center to discuss goals and objectives for the city.
Many of the issues they discussed were mentioned at previous work sessions or during regular board meetings. Mike Epperson, city manger, said Monday the annual retreats are an opportunity for aldermen and city staff to spend the day discussing issues in a little more in depth.
One issue that will go before the next Board of Aldermen meeting is a proposed bonus for Epperson.
Alderman Dana Outlaw said Monday the city is just trying to be competitive with other cities to keep a good city manager in New Bern.
�Mr. Epperson is a very efficient manager,� Outlaw said. ��What he has demonstrated to us � the several years he has been in New Bern � is it�s really best for the welfare of the city that the Board of Aldermen be able to offer a compensation package that keeps him here. Cities lose good managers because they are not competitive. I think the board and city is being competitive to keep Mr. Epperson here. I feel the board in unison feels strongly that he is doing a good job.�
Outlaw said aldermen would formally vote on a bonus package for Epperson at the next meeting, but would not offer compensation that exceeds what is reasonable for a city with a population of 30,000.
There also was discussion about special appropriations and possibly moving a couple of organizations to a different line item during the budget process.
The city supports several agencies and organizations from the Arts Council to Swiss Bear that fall under special appropriations in the annual budget.
Epperson said the title �special appropriations� might be misleading and a couple of organizations like Allies for Cherry Point and the U.S. Highway 17 Association are more like lobbying or advocacy groups.
There was also some discussion on the city�s charter about whom the city clerk, director of finance and tax collector should report to, Epperson said. Those positions are appointed by the Board of Aldermen and report to the aldermen, he said.
Epperson said they need to analyze the charter to see if the state law could be changed so they could report to him, if that is what the board wants.
An issue that has come before the Board of Aldermen numerous times is the waterfront property the city owns behind the DoubleTree by Hilton. The city owns about 30 feet of property that runs from the river to the marina, and staff and aldermen discussed the appropriateness of the property easement granted to the marina. That issue will be evaluated at a future meeting of the board, Epperson said.
Jon Rynne, utilities director, and Keith Fiaschetti, finance director, discussed the city�s electricrates and how they are structured. They also talked about the possibility of the regional power agency increasing charges for supplying electricity to cities in 2015, Epperson said.
Those increases may occur because of necessary improvements to some power plants owned by Duke Energy, Epperson said.
Options discussed include finding funding grants or starting a pilot program to help homeowners make their homes more energy efficient, Epperson said. Many homes in New Bern are not properly insulated, he said.
Other topics discussed included safety issues on rail crossings in the River Station community and economic development opportunities for city property, Epperson said.

ORONO, Maine — A lot of people who care deeply about University of Maine basketball have spent the last several years on a mission.
Their goal is to help the university raise enough money to give the Black Bear men's and women's basketball programs an improved venue in which to practice and play their home games.
Their hopes have been dashed, as UMaine officials apparently have given up hope on renovating the beat-up bandbox that is Memorial Gymnasium.
UMaine athletics director Steve Abbott said he has not closed the door on upgrading the gym affectionately known as "The Pit," but it seems clear that part of the project will be abandoned.
It won't happen because the cost of trying to fix up the old building will far exceed what UMaine and its benefactors have been able to raise — especially after other needs are addressed.
The thought of backing out of the project has created a firestorm of anger and resentment. Many dedicated people have invested much time and effort trying to generate money and support for the renovations for a new gym.
When the original idea for the renovations to Memorial Gym was first put forth publicly, UMaine officials believed they would need in the neighborhood of $12.5 million to make it happen.
Yet even with an estimated $14 million having been committed toward all the renovations in the field house and the Memorial Gym building, the gym itself likely will remain a practice venue.
Former Gov. John Baldacci was instrumental in gaining Legislative approval of a $7 million state bond slated for improvements to the gym and field house. Those efforts came as a result of Baldacci's relationship with longtime Black Bear basketball backers, led by former UMaine men's basketball head coach and player Skip Chappelle.
Abbott helped procure a $5 million gift from Maine athletic shoe manufacturer New Balance toward the project and The Alfond Foundation continued its support of UMaine athletics with a pledge of $2 million in matching funds.
Former UMaine player Dick Collins and his wife Anne promised a $1 million gift, but a source said it won't be paid until after Dick Collins' death. The Collinses also generously donated $5 million toward renovations of UMaine's Collins Center for the Arts.
In retrospect, it appears the upgrades to the gym were doomed from the start because of the complicated and expensive nature of the work.
The most maddening part for the fundraisers is that the project was originally conceptualized and publicized primarily as a basketball facility upgrade. There was a lot of talk about recapturing the atmosphere and energy that had existed in "The Pit" during its heyday in the 1950s, '60s and '70s.
According to Abbott, nobody realized what a costly proposition it would be to renovate the gym. Now, the discussion has switched to all the other upgrades that could be undertaken.
Given the scope of the work — some of which needs to be done for health, safety and building code compliance — a lot of the money has been designated for non-basketball upgrades.
The $7 million bond was approved, in large part, for the field house. The main concern was the removal of flooring that contained mercury and the asbestos located in the building.
Abbott said some of the money also is to be used to help bring both the field house and gym buildings up to code in terms of wiring, air circulation, fire alarms and other needs.
The field house price tag alone has risen to approximately $4.5 million, with $2 million from the New Balance gift earmarked for that portion of the project.
Assuming that would leave approximately $10 million, UMaine must determine the best use for the rest of the money.
The locker rooms, offices, training facilities and other spaces inside the gym building — which houses all but three of UMaine's varsity sports and their coaches — are badly in need of upgrades and those would benefit many Black Bear entities.
Yet by the time those areas have been overhauled, another huge chunk of the original $14 million will be gone.
Basketball boosters are crying foul and insist that having a true home court, where UMaine basketball can practice and play its games, is more important than any or all of the aforementioned "optional" renovations.
A revamped Memorial Gym would provide the Bears with the home-court advantage they have lacked playing the last 20-plus years on a temporary floor atop the ice inside nearby Alfond Arena.
However, in addition to the high cost of re-doing The Pit, plans estimated the seating capacity of the upgraded facility at only 1,700 fans. That would be problematic if another Cindy Blodgett came along to re-captivate the imaginations of Black Bear fans.
Other options could include building a small, stand-alone basketball structure somewhere else on campus or moving home games to the brand-new Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.
While it hasn't been ruled out, Abbott said the cost of staffing, heating and maintaining a new building would seem to make it cost-prohibitive. However, playing home games in Bangor also would mean added fees for transportation and facility rentals.
It has been a long haul for those who have been raising the money for Memorial Gym renovations. Understandably, they feel cheated to hear that their efforts not only may not produce the kind of on-campus basketball facility toward which they have been working — it may not result in one at all.
With the money already promised, the ball is now in the court of UMaine officials. Unless there were other stipulations outlined when the donations were made, administrators will make the call as to where the money would be best spent.
Given the tenor of the discussions when the project was introduced, the basketball court was among the primary concerns. Now, it is very much in jeopardy.
Regardless, UMaine teams deserve the opportunity to practice and play in a more modern basketball facility. Let's hope the university finds a way to make that happen.

Injuries Could Test Bears' Depth
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) - The Chicago Bears' belief that they have the depth to withstand injuries is being tested.
They officially ruled out return specialist and receiver Devin Hester and guard Chris Spencer for Sunday's game against Seattle.
The good news is that linebacker Lance Briggs and running back Matt Forte made it clear they expect to be ready after injuring ankles against Minnesota, meaning the banged-up Bears will likely have at least two of their star players available.
Briggs and Forte practiced Thursday on a limited basis, as did star cornerback Charles Tillman, who left the Vikings game with an ankle injury.
Even if they get Briggs, Forte and Tillman back, the Bears (8-3) will still be short-handed as they try at least to maintain their one-game lead over Green Bay in the NFC North.
