Expansion of the Federal Role in Education
Kennedy Learns from Failure.
Congress renewed the National Defense Education Act of 1958 for two more years in 1961. However, President John F. Kennedy wanted new and much more sweeping programs to improve conditions for both students and teachers. The Kennedy administration pressed vigorously for federal aid from 1961 to 1963, but political opponents objecting to the form that aid might take branded the program a fiasco. Perhaps this failure was a blessing, however. Francis Keppel, then dean of Harvard School of Education, was an adviser who helped draft proposed legislation in 1960. As he later recalled, "We came up with a report that, had it been adopted, would probably have broken the federal government's bank in no time at all." The funds were to go only to public schools since President Kennedy, a Catholic, was unwilling to risk his slender political majority by supporting federal spending for parochial schools. Catholic politicians wanted money for parochial schools, and some Republicans and southern Democrats wanted no bill at all, primarily because of attached desegregation riders. An inability to compromise spelled disaster for this first proposal, but by 1963 Kennedy had succeeded. When he was assassinated in Dallas, his major achievement in the field, the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, was on its way to Senate approval. When President Lyndon Johnson signed it into law...

The Changing Curriculum
A Different Look at Language.
During the 1960s, students at all levels not only studied newly offered subjects, they also found many familiar disciplines taught in such a different way as to be almost unrecognizable. The National Defense Education Act, which had been extended from its original 1958 version, had introduced foreign-language education into hundreds of schools that had not previously offered it. By 1966 more than three thousand undergraduates were getting intensive training in thirty-six languages during summer programs at more than twenty-two institutions through provisions in that act. Many of these students were later employed in secondary schools, so that more high-school students than ever had a chance to learn a second language. For elementary and secondary students studying their native language, some dramatic changes were in store. Advances in the study of English by linguists Paul Postal and Noam Chomsky at MIT had created new vantage points from which to examine the structure of language. Working with research funds from the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, and the National Science Foundation, these linguists proposed a new conceptual framework of language that came to be called transformational generative grammar. In 1966 linguist Paul Roberts translated this theory into practice when he published sets of English textbooks in transformational grammar for students in grades...

College Officials and the Morals Revolution
How Student Unrest Changed Higher Education
Philosophical Shifts in October of 1969.
Harold Taylor, author of Students Without Teachers: The Crisis in the University (1969), reflected on the student revolution that raged on campuses across America during the mid 1960s. "It became clear that it was no longer possible to stand slack-jawed while we made reports about civil disorders and studies of urban problems," he explains. "We could no longer stand quietly by while history rushed forward." Sometime in the mid 1960s students and society reached the end of an era, he claims, and the first protest at Berkeley in 1964 provided the "possibility of hope" for students who had never considered the possibility of revolt against their own educational systems. Risen from the civil rights movement, this revolt produced changes in curriculum, in student regulations, in policy-making decisions, and in how colleges in general did business with students. By the end of the decade,

The Origins of Bilingual Education
Cuban Émigrés and the Miami Educational System.
In 1961 the educational system in Miami was trans-formed by the thousands of Cuban refugees pouring into south Florida as they escaped the Castro regime. Over seven hundred émigrés from academia, including over four hundred Havana University professors, took jobs as stevedores, gardeners, and janitors. The U.S. government investigated many proposals to get these Cubans into positions at U.S. colleges after they improved their English skills, and the University of Miami Medical School provided a three-night-per-week program to teach Cuban medical doctors so that they could qualify for U.S. practice. There was little or no grumbling on the part of the Cubans, however. As one former University of Havana law professor put it, "We're just lucky to be here." The situation in the public schools was more problematic, however. Dade County teachers struggled with over ten thousand Cuban children who were arriving at the rate of "a classroom a day." Teachers went to classes to learn Spanish at night, and the district hired 150 former Cuban teachers as Spanish-speaking assistants for classrooms.

Shortages of Teachers, Professors
Overcrowding, Underpaying.
The shortage of teachers and classrooms was acute throughout the decade. In President Kennedy's "Special Message on Education" on 6 February 1963, he stressed the seriousness of the problem. One and one-half million students were housed in overcrowded classrooms, and approximately two million were studying amid "grossly substandard health and safety conditions." Salaries were too low to retain the ablest teachers, with some poorer districts offering starting annual wages as low as $3,000. Moreover, of the teachers in the classrooms, 7.2 percent held substandard certificates, affecting the quality of education for one pupil in thirteen, according to the U.S. Office of Education. Although the colleges were equally crowded, there were not enough students in teacher-training programs to ease the shortages in certain locales. In Nebraska, for example, fewer than 50 percent of qualified graduates remained to teach in the overcrowded Nebraska schools. In California, for each year in the decade nineteen thousand new teachers were needed to meet demands, but only thirteen thousand were being trained.
Vacancies in Administration, Higher Education.
Even though the ranks of educational administration and college teaching offered better pay, many of those jobs also went unfilled. In 1962 an unprecedented number of top...

The Military Goes to School
The "Brainpower Lag."
In the fall of 1960 a U.S. captain set his compass wrong and flew over Canada, not California as planned. A major made an arithmetic error that significantly affected the fuel calculations, forcing an entire group of jets to land at the wrong airport. Observers began to question the competency of military officers. Of the air force top brass, only 43 percent of 119,000 line officers held a college degree. The military took its problem of lack of brainpower seriously, and $63 million was set aside annually for a military-education program. Among the goals were to double the number of officers with advanced degrees and to revise standards for commissions.
Classrooms in the Military.
By 1964 the military's program was in full force, and two researchers, Dr. Harold Clark of Teachers College, Columbia University, and Harold Sloan, research director at Fairleigh-Dickinson College, had spent two years evaluating it. In their book, Classrooms in the Military (1967), they describe programs serving over three hundred thousand GIs in classrooms, with nearly a million more studying by correspondence. If these military schools were placed in one contiguous area, they would exceed the acreage of New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago, and their subject-matter offerings ranged from the three Rs to courses required for...

Technology and Education
Educational Television.
In the fall of 1961 on the opening day of school, educational instruction literally took off on the wings of an elaborately equipped plane which became the equivalent of an eleven thousand-foot-high broadcasting tower. This was the Midwest Program of Airborne Televised Instruction (MPATI), which served six midwestern states with carefully taped programs of the nation's finest teachers, encompassing key subjects in the curriculum from grades one to twelve. The projected cost of this state-of-the-art technology per student, per year was estimated to be about that of a single textbook. Although by 1960 the University of Michigan had already studied the effectiveness of televised instruction for fifteen years, few districts had access to such well-crafted programs as those offered by MPATI. However, when the time came to shift the financial burden from the Ford Foundation, which had developed MPATI, to the state and local systems it served, the districts were unable to agree on paying their admittedly modest shares. The entire project foundered, and by the end of the 1960s the great boom in classroom instructional television that had begun with so much promise lost momentum.
Professors on Screen.
Higher education made use of televised instruction in a different way. On hundreds of campuses, professors taped their...

Public-School Integration
Effects of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
When the 1960s began, six years after the Supreme Court ruling that separate schools are inherently unequal schools, many districts in the South were practicing "ingenious procrastination" rather than progressing toward desegregation. In fact, there was less actual desegregation of southern schools in 1960 than in any other year since the Supreme Court decision. Until 1964 state and school officials played an elaborate game of avoidance. However, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 empowered the U.S. Office of Education to withhold federal funds from systems failing to desegregate and empowered the U.S. Attorney General to force the process. Although the 1964-1965 school year began in eleven southern states with only 604 of 2,951 school districts having even begun the process of desegregation, by fall of 1965, 2,816 systems had filed plans defining their intentions to comply with the law. This dramatic turnaround was largely the result of the financial impact of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The efforts toward desegregation in the South proved to be only token motions in many cases, however. One typical approach was for school districts to instigate "freedom of choice" plans which granted students the opportunity to sign forms declaring the school within that district they would attend the following year. These plans did move some black students into formerly...

Montessori Schools
Education for Mentally Handicapped Children.
Dr. Maria Montessori was a medical student in the 1890s serving as an intern in the psychiatric clinic of Rome, Italy, which housed the "idiot children" then relegated to insane asylums. Appalled by what she saw happening to these children, she began a lifelong study of mentally deficient children and then quickly extended her work to the study of normal young children. The approach to educating the very young which she pioneered in her "Homes of Children" over several decades resulted in successes that exceeded even her own expectations. In working with retarded children she transformed threeto-seven-year-olds into avid pupils who learned cleanliness, manners, "grace in action," and they became acquainted with animals and plants and with the manual arts. They got both sensory and motor training and learned rudiments of counting, reading, and writing. When, in 1912, Montessori published The Montessori Method: Scientific Pedagogy as Applied to Child Education in "the Children's Houses," people from all over the world pressed her to communicate her methods to others. In the United States there was interest at the time, but by 1917 articles in the American press had dwindled to less than five a year.

Burner, Jerome 1915-
Study of Thinking and Learning.
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, researchers were actively investigating two different areas of learning theory—operant conditioning, generally associated with B. F. Skinner, and cognitive psychology, an area of special interest for Jerome Bruner. Bruner and colleagues at Harvard's Center for Cognitive Studies were interested in studying perception, memory, and thinking in an effort to determine what techniques constitute the most effective learning situations. In 1960 Bruner issued a significant report on the deliberations of a large group of scholars, mostly scientists, who had been researching cognitive processes. This report, entitled The Process of Education, offers a sweeping hypothesis: "Any subject can be taught effectively in some intellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development, providing attention is paid to the psychological development of the child." The implication of this study is that in a cognitive approach to learning, maximum advantage must be taken of the cognitive properties of both learners and subject matter. In other words, teachers must organize material into logical structures so that learners will, by use of their own logical processes, come to understand the...

Conant, James B. 1893-1978
A Spokesman for Education in the 1950s.
After leaving the presidency of Harvard in 1953, Conant became the U.S. High Commissioner and later ambassador to West Germany. In this country, however, he remained a strong voice for educational innovation during the 1950s, and his 1959 volume, The American High School Today, argues for much higher standards in American education. His call for comprehensive high schools that would meet all students' needs, regardless of their abilities and goals, was particularly important in the 1960s when attempts were made to eliminate educational inequities, especially in segregated school districts.
Assessing All Segments of the American Educational System.
During the 1960s Conant researched and wrote about all aspects of the American educational system. Slums and the Suburbs, published in 1961, closely examines...

Erikson, Erik 1902-1994
Stage Theory of Human Development and Identity.
Erik Erikson, psychoanalyst with a Ph.D. in child psychology, is probably best known for his stage theory of human development. Erlkson's theory suggests that each stage of life, from infancy and early childhood on, is associated with a specific psychological struggle that significantly affects personality. Erikson, who coined the term identity crisis in naming that particular crisis inherent in adolescence, was an innovator whose influence shaped the emerging fields of child development and life-span studies. Defining identity as a basic confidence in one's inner continuity amid change, Erikson suggested that the emergence of this identity might be precipitated by a crisis and accompanied by intense neurotic suffering, especially for creative people. This theory had particular resonance during the 1960s, during which young people heard Erikson saying, "Your life is important; your relationship to your times is important; you can make a difference in society and you can find yourself in the process," according to Dr. Robert Wallerstein, now retired as head of the psychiatry department at the University of California, San Francisco.

Goodman, Paul 1911-1972
Outspoken Critic of the System.
Although there were numerous voices in the media during the 1960s criticizing the educational system, none was as outspoken or irreverent as Paul Goodman. Goodman, who studied classics at the University of Chicago and whose doctoral dissertation used Aristotle's Poetics to analyze and explain a body of contemporary literary works, attacked all parts of the U.S. educational system of the 1960s with an eye toward this question: What are the criteria for separating what appears to be from what really exists in academia? He looked at institutional relations as a direct confrontation with other humans, not impersonal establishments, and he staged these confrontations often and loudly. Over the decade Goodman's critiques became more and more political and therefore more and more public; the subsequent arguments he made were notable for their form, their force, and their consequences.
Schooling versus Education.
Goodman's strongest argument against the system claimed it was not merely failing to improve students, but it was actually harming them. As he writes in the preface to Compulsory Mis-Education (1964), "I do not try to be generous or fair.… We already have too much formal schooling, and the more we get, the less education we will get." Goodman did...

Jensen, Arthur 1923-
National Furor Over Black IQ Attainment.
No other scientist researching learning gathered the national headlines or created such controversy as Arthur Jensen. His article setting forth his theory and research on the feasibility of boosting deprived children's intelligence quotients (IQs) appeared in the Harvard Educational Review, a publication that has a limited readership. However, the popular press translated his 123-page article into flat statements of only a few sentences, claiming that Jensen's conclusions were that blacks were intellectually inferior to whites according to IQ tests.
Why Jensen Was Investigating Genetic Factors.
Jensen initiated his study to document whether or not the compensatory programs that the federal government was supporting with millions of dollars were capable of making significant inroads in narrowing the gap between minority and majority pupils. Essentially, Jensen argued that in his research he found that genetic factors were much more important in determining IQ than environnmental factors. He attributed the majority of the genetic factors to prenatal influences primarily associated with the nourishment of the mother and the child. And these genetic factors, he believed, contributed to different, but not necessarily inferior,...

Work to Improve Teaching. As dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Keppel served for fourteen years, quadrupling the enrollment and establishing the school as a site for national leadership in education. He redesigned the master of arts in teaching (MAT) degree and expanded the program. He also created the School and University Program for Research and Development (SUPRAD), which conducted pilot projects on topics such as team teaching and the use of teaching machines.
Commissioner of Education.
In his position as commissioner of education from 1962 to 1965 he worked for vastly expanded federal support of education. As the head of the 1965 Keppel Interagency Task Force, he was asked to propose programs to accomplish the following tasks:
- Relieve the doctor, nurse, and medical technician shortage, especially in light of new Medicare demands;
- Expand financial aid to middle-class college students;
- Develop a year-round preschool program;
- Refine the hastily developed ESEA Title I so as to reach more disadvantaged children;

Skinner, B. F. 1904-1990
Operant Conditioning Theory Leads to Teaching Machines.
B. F. Skinner, one of the best-known learning theorists, first attracted popular attention during the late 1950s and the 1960s. Although for decades Skinner had been actively researching how and why humans behave as they do and what role random trial and error plays in learning (for example, during World War II he had devised an operant-conditioning procedure for training pigeons to direct missile missions), it was his resounding success in teaching children with programmed learning machines that made his name easily recognizable. A pioneer in the use of automated learning, Skinner's work with colleagues in producing the first linear program for teaching introductory psychology at Harvard was widely reported, but he also devised programs for elementary-school children and for junior-high introductory algebra students. But it is Skinner's intellectual achievement in producing a philosophy of human nature appropriate to these new techniques of instruction...

Bone-dry grass and brush Saturday fed flames as more than 2,600 crew members struggled to corral a still-growing wildfire in California's Sierra foothills.
"This fire is very dynamic," said Tina Rose, spokeswoman for the multiagency incident command. "The access to the fire has been hampering us. It is so difficult to get into those canyons."
Firefighters were buoyed by the fact that winds appeared to have died down a bit and the massive Rim Fire's rate of growth has slowed. The fire had doubled in size from Thursday to Friday, and the total loss stood at nearly 130,000 acres early Saturday evening, much of it in Stanislaus National Forest.
The blaze, which remained 7% contained, was spreading primarily to the east.
While the Rim Fire has consumed 12,000 acres in the northwest section of Yosemite National Park, so far it has had little or no direct impact on Yosemite Valley, a popular spot for tourists and home to many of the famous cliffs and waterfalls in the park.
"Skies are beautiful," park spokesman Scott Gediman told CNN at midday. "It is a crystal clear blue sky in Yosemite Valley."
Still, the park has seen a few cancellations and one western entrance was closed.
Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday issued a state of emergency in the San Francisco area because of threats to utilities.
"The San Francisco Public Utilities has been forced to shut down transmission lines," he said in a statement.
Much of San Francisco's water comes from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, which lies within Yosemite and is just east of the fire. There was good news on that front Saturday, as officials said there was no effect on the water quality and delivery.
About 4,500 structures, many of them vacation homes, were under threat, according to InciWeb, a federal website that collects information from agencies like the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.
Firefighters have been hampered by a lack of moisture from the sky and on the ground.
"The wind today is going to be better for firefighting, but we are still dealing with bone dry grass and brush," Rose said Saturday.
Lee Bentley of the U.S. Forest Service said crews were making progress, but "it is going to be awhile."
Eight fixed-wing aircraft and 10 helicopters were aiding the effort.
"We are the No. 1 priority in the country," said Bentley. "We are getting what we need."
The command center said a major effort was aimed at holding the fire east of the north fork of the Tuolumne River.
"Additional efforts are focused on the eastern edge of the fire in Yosemite National Park to minimize impacts to our national treasure," it said in a statement.
In a tinder box, but scenery is wonderful
The inferno threatened the Yosemite gateway communities of Groveland and Pine Mountain Lake just outside the Stanislaus Forest.
"It's crazy, and it has been for five days," Kirsten Lennon, whose home is threatened, told CNN affiliate KCRA on Friday. "Your heart's racing a little faster."
Joe Riley, co-owner of the log-construction Cub Inn in Groveland, has canceled tourist reservations until next weekend. The last remaining guest leaves Sunday.
"We are on a voluntary evacuation order," Riley told CNN on Saturday afternoon. "If things get bad or we get a direct order, we have everything packed, all the pictures off the wall, and all the documents and business records."
The loss of business at the height of the season, and possible cancellations into September, may cost the inn between $10,000 and $20,000, he said.
The closure of the Yosemite entrance on U.S. Highway 120 West means tourists coming through the community must drive an extra hour to get into the park.

Yesterday afternoon I hit a mature 8 pointer. It was a 10 yard shot from my treestand. Hit him dead center lungs, on his right side. My arrow only appeared to go in part way. He ran off and I gave him 90 minutes. I was hoping my arrow had gone all the way through, hit the opposite shoulder, and came back out.
I picked up the blood and found my arrow about 75 yards from my stand. The G5 T3 broadhead failed to open. From blood on the arrow it looks like it penetrated 8 to 10 inches. This should result in one punctured lung for sure, right?
Because of the high entry hole and no exit hole, there was very little blood. I tracked him for another 75 yards or so and lost blood and daylight.
I suspect he traveled downhill into a creek bottom. Heading out this morning to search.
What are your thoughts? I know bucks can live a long time with one lung. I assume the buck will die, and is probably already dead.
Have you ever had a mechanical broadhead not deploy?

Reisz's body was found dumped inside a plastic bag at a rubber plantation in Kathu district on Nov 30.
Police said the victim moved to Phuket province from Samui island in Surat Thani province after a dispute with his business partner.

"We are going to do everything humanly possible (to ensure) we do not experience an event like this again," Rice said.
An SMG official emphasized to the panel that the power failure had nothing to do with SMG's recent efforts to replace the cables that feed electricity from Entergy's connection points to the dome.
The Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, a state agency that oversees the Superdome, had approved spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to replace the feeder cables. The SMG official said Friday that the cables were replaced because they were 15 years old, and that SMG doesn't "see any way (the cables) were involved in this."
The electrical outage at the Superdome set off a storm of social media amusement among viewers and inspired advertising tweets with blackout twists.
Carmaker Audi took a swipe at its competitor, tweeting that it was sending "LED lights" over to the dome, which is officially named the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
But for the picturesque Super Bowl host city -- perpetually concerned with its reputation, especially since Hurricane Katrina -- the power failure broadcast to the world was a huge embarrassment.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu promised that night there would be answers soon.
Clarkson, pressing for a third-party examination of the cause, emphasized that the city intends to bid for the 2018 Super Bowl.
"We are in contention for 2018," Clarkson said. "(An outside test) is clearly imperative ... to defy the naysayers that could be arising around the country to say that we shouldn't have this (Super Bowl)."

As for Beltran, that was a nice Catch he had in like the 7th, but I still don't see him living up to his playoffs of last year, and I think hes making too much(but then again, I'm a Yanks fan)
But other than that, good game, good job, and I can live with winning 2outta3
Posted 25 June 2005 - 11:26 AM
Wait did you watch the game? You yankee fans were still chanting, " who's your daddy?" after williams watched the third strike float right across the plate.
I would expect the same result in the next two games. The mets have the obvious upper hand in pitching match-up (glavine vs. Henn, Benson vs. Johnson) face it, johnson is a let down.

Just a guess but do you know what pedro's record against the yankees is? 11-10. I hardly call that dominating on pedro part, but he now has a winning record against the yankees, hardly domination on the yankees part. Once again, factual back-up.

I said but to me I can't speak for everyother Yankee fan, thats me, I also thought that Pedro was 10-11 before that game making him 11-11 now, but I'm probly wrong about that.
Not for Nothing, I know Randy isn't living up to what he was supposed to, but when you bat .435 in the playoffs, with 20Hits and 8Homeruns and 14RBI's and 6 SB to only haviong a .266 Batting average 9Homeruns and 69 RBIs and 1 SB in a good 65 games more, thats more of a let down than a guy who was 16-14 last year and 7-5 so far this year, seems like hes right on track to have the same exact kinda season, so thats my let down of the 2....(stats are all 100% accuate)

Posted 26 June 2005 - 04:58 PM

Alone atop the MIAA in first place, No. 24 Northwest Missouri State has a chance to add to its list of road victims Saturday at 3:30 p.m. against Missouri Western in St. Joseph.
The depleted Bearcats (11-2, 4-0) beat Missouri Southern 69-68 in overtime and Pittsburg State 62-51 on the road last week, giving them three straight wins since dropping back-to-back games in Hawaii.
One more over the Griffons (6-7, 2-3) would give them a sweep of their three-game road stretch to start 2013.
"I think the Missouri Southern game got us off to a good start on the road, and obviously Pittsburg State was exceptional," said Northwest Missouri State head coach Ben McCollum. "Now, we just got to continue to improve and get better. If we use these wins and stay with the process, it will be great. If we don't, they won't help us much."
Northwest has had the last the week off to recuperate from two games in less than 48 hours, while
Western played Wednesday night and rallied in the second half to beat Nebraska-Kearney 75-64 on the road.
It was the Griffons second win in their last three games. They also beat Central Oklahoma on a last-second shot in Edmond, Okla. before losing to Missouri Southern 95-69 Saturday.
Northwest has had Western's number of late, winning five consecutive meetings dating back to the 2009-2010 season to give them a 41-34 edge in the series.
That includes wins at the MWSU Fieldhouse each of the last two years.
McCollum credits point guard DeShaun Cooper's ability to get in the lane almost at will for Northwest's success against Western during his tenure.
However, the 5-8 point guard will miss Saturday's game with knee tendinitis, forcing the Bearcats to attack in a different way.
"DeShaun has broken them down pretty easily and that's affected them," said McCollum. "It's just a matchup that seems to work."
This matchup pits the No. 1 scoring defense in the MIAA against the league's worst scoring offense.
Northwest is giving up a league-low 59.5 points per game and has yet to allow 70 points in a game this year. The Bearcats just held Pitt State, the league's No. 4 scoring offense, over 26 points below its season average.
Missouri Western averages just 67.7 points per game and is 14th in the league in three-point shooting at 30.5 percent. The Griffons have attempted the third-most three's in the league and made the fifth-most.
As usual, Western's roster is stocked with junior college transfers. Their only contributors back from last year are senior guard James Harris, sophomore guard Reed Mells and senior combo guard Alex Tuluka-Mfumupembe.
Western's leading scorer and rebounder is 6-7 junior transfer forward Cedric Clinckscales with 14.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. He's second in the MIAA in field goal percentage just ahead of Northwest's Dillon Starzl.
Page 2 of 2 - Adarius Fulton, a 6-2 junior guard, averages 10.1 points per game and leads the Griffons in steals and assists. Dzenan Mrkaljevic, a 6-8 junior forward, is the team's second leading rebounder and averages 8.0 points per game.
"They play a lot of guys that can step out and shoot," said McCollum. "I know they're not shooting a high percentage, but they brought in a lot of shooters. They can space the floor. Defensively, they play all zone which I don't think anybody in the league plays all zone. We got to prepare for that. Outside of that, they're kind of the same Missouri Western team they've been in the past. We have to be ready. They're going to give us their best shot."
Northwest currently has three players averaging in double-figures led by DeAngelo Hailey with 14.6 points per game. Starzl is second with 14.0 points per game and averaged 19 in Northwest's two road wins last week.
Alex Sullivan is averaging 12.6 points per game and leads the MIAA in three-pointers made. Starting point guard Matt Wallace is tops in the MIAA in assist-to-turnover ratio.

New trailer for Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising shows battle
The newest video for Codemasters' Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising is through the link and it shows loads of fighting on the battlefield.
It's due in stores this summer for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
There are also a few screens for you to look at as well.
Thanks, GamersHell.

Operation Flashpoint 2 confirmed for 360 and PS3 this summer, movie released
Codemasters just confirmed that Operation Flashpoint 2 will get 360 and PS3 versions this summer.
The game, built on Codemasters' EGO engine, was previously only announced for PC.
The publisher's gone to town on the multiplay war sim's underlying tech in a press release this afternoon, saying the game is like nothing seen before.
"The advantage of investing in our own technology is that we can custom-build major engine components specifically suited to each title; such as dynamically lit particle effects for gunfire and explosions, incredible vehicle detail and extensive worlds that you can literally get lost in," said Brant Nicholas, senior producer.
There's a new video here.

Op Flashpoint 2 gets new screens, update next Friday
Codemasters has promised a proper update on Operation Flaspoint 2 next week, Friday February 20, as you can see in this official forum post.
Get some new screens here in the meantime.
The war sim's been under fire a little from some steady ArmA II upates in the last few weeks, but those shots look fairly amazing, so fingers crossed.
Mon, Feb 09, 2009 | 09:36 GMT
Operation Flashpoint 2 pinned for "summer 2009″
Codemasters got a little more specific on the release date of Operation Flashpoint 2 this morning, telling VG247 the sequel will release this summer.
"Flashpoint is currently slated officially as 'Summer 2009,'" said a rep, adding that the firm couldn't be "any more precise than that right now."
The game was down for a "2009″ date up to now.
The military sim was fully announced last year. It was originally planned for "winter" 2008, but was moved into 2009 in July.
Codemasters itself is developing the game, after dropping Bohemia Interactive, the creator of the first title.

Codemasters launches "drive" for Russia
Codemasters is to translate all its major upcoming games into Russian as part of a "global drive," the firm announced today.
Rise of the Argonauts, Damnation and Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising are all getting the Cyrillic treatment.
"Codemasters has targeted Russia as a front-line territory, key to our overall EMEA strategy" said Codemasters' Axel Herr, probably while thumping a table.
"Localisation and tailoring of content is key to our emerging market strategy and Codemasters is keen to continue leading the charge in these fast-evolving markets."

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising lets you blow things up
Gamespot has had a gander at Codemasters shooter Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising this week, and has revealed that you can blow up trees and stuff.
"Now, you won't be able to actually blow up or off pieces of the island with your giant bombs and dangerous guns. Instead, the developers will populate the island with all sorts of trees and structures for you to blow up instead," says the article.
Sounds like our sort of game. Trailer here. Full thing through the link.

First Operation Flashpoint 2 trailer released
After the break courtesy of IGN, the best games media site in the world. The movie's CG, but it passed the goosebump test, so we're looking good. Any game that can relay the ridiculous horror of piling out of the back of an APC in the middle of a field to shoot at a distant with an assault rifle is going to be worth a look. So do.
Fri, Jul 11, 2008 | 07:50 BST
Exclusive new Operation Flashpoint 2 shots
After the break. These screens are ahead of tomorrow's video and screen update, as reported on yesterday. Initial looks at this tell of something exceptional in scope, so keep a close eye on the official site on Friday.

Operation Flashpoint 2 moves to 2009, first trailer this week
The official Operation Flashpoint 2 site has gone live, as has the news that the game will no longer release this year: the most ridiculously amazingly detailed representation of war in development will release in 2009.
The game was pegged for a "winter" release back in March.
The site also brings word that the game's first trailer is to release on July 11, or "Friday" in normal speak. We're assured that the site's gallery is to be updated then as well, as the shots in there at the moment are from last year.
More later this week.

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising is "mind-bogglingly vast"
CVG is reporting that the latest issue of PC Gamer UK contains a huge Operation Flashpoint 2 reveal.
The mag says that the tactical shooter is "the most mind-bogglingly vast and mercilessly realistic battlefield gaming has ever known," adding, "It's a game being built to exacting specifications by military obsessives, to simulate the authentic behaviour of battle-hardened troops and push PCs to their limits."
Sounds as though someone likes it.

New Operation Flashpoint 2 shots emerge
These are only the second set of shots to ever be shown of Codemasters' upcoming war sim, so take a good look at the ever-vigilant Czech Tiscali Games' gallery.
Codemasters confirmed this week that the title would be releasing this winter. If the first one was anything to go by, you could be looking at the cult combat classic for the end of the year.
Thu, Mar 20, 2008 | 16:16 GMT
Operation Flashpoint 2 confirmed for "winter" release
Codemasters has just confirmed that Operation Flashpoint 2 is currently down for a winter release and a formal date announcement can be expected shortly.
The game's "launch timing is to be revealed as a countdown over next couple of months," a spokesperson told videogaming247.
Operation Flashpoint was a breakthrough PC shooter in which players could use vehicles as well as their feet to accomplish missions. PC fans loved the "realism".
The sequel was originally under development at Bohemia Interactive, the team behind the first title, but has since been moved to an internal team at Codemasters and renamed Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising. The game's scenario is a Russian-Sino-US conflict.
This is listed for release on PS3 and 360 as well as PC. More soon.

8th Annual Total Employee Mobility® Benchmarking Report shows companies with travel expense management software spend less per business traveler than companies with paper-based reporting
WATERFORD, Wis., Oct. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The 8th Annual Runzheimer International® Total Employee Mobility® (TEM®) Benchmarking Report shows that companies using travel expense management software spend 27 percent less than the reported benchmark, and almost 41 percent less per traveler, per year, than companies using paper based reporting.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131018/CG99723)
Travel expense management software is designed to increase productivity for business travelers by reducing the time spent manually completing expense reports, and save time on paperwork and administration.

The 2012 Total Employee Mobility Benchmarking Report, in its eighth edition, is published by Runzheimer International, the global leader in workforce mobility programs.

The TEM Benchmarking Report provides valuable insights on employee mobility and how organizations manage a mobile workforce. Companies that participate in the survey receive a complimentary copy of the report. To review the complete benchmark findings for business travel programs, watch the webinar.

Democrats on Tuesday ramped up their pressure on the Romney campaign over two new ads on the auto bailout, as each side sought to sway voters in the crucial battleground state of Ohio.
Spokespeople for Obama's re-election effort pointed to quotes from General Motors and Chrysler executives blasting Mitt Romney over a new round of ads that accuse the auto giants of shifting jobs overseas.
"The ad is cynical campaign politics at its worst," General Motors spokesman Greg Martin told The New York Times. "We think creating jobs in the U.S. and repatriating profits back in this country should be a source of bipartisan pride."
The Romney radio ad, which aired in Ohio Tuesday, claims GM plans to double the number of cars built in China and that Chrysler plans to start making Jeeps in the same country.
"Mitt Romney: He'll stand up for the auto industry in Ohio, not China," the ad's narrator concludes.
The ad follows a television spot released over the weekend, which makes the same argument and faced wide criticism in recent days for its accuracy.
"Obama took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy and sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China," the television spot's narrator says.
Romney originally floated that idea at a rally in Defiance, Ohio last week. He quoted a report about the majority owner of Chrysler, Fiat, saying it was considering producing its signature Jeep in China.
However, the Bloomberg report to which Romney was apparently referring said that the potential move would only affect cars produced for Chinese consumers.
Chrysler Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications Gualberto Ranieri emphatically denied the possibility U.S. production would be affected, writing in an online posting, "Let's set the record straight: Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China."
The ad was rated "Pants on Fire" by the independent, fact-checking group PolitiFact.com. And former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden on Monday tag teamed in their attacks against Romney over the ad.
The Romney campaign did not highlight their television ad--or Tuesday's radio ad--with a press release to reporters, as they have with nearly every other spot, but CNN's ad tracker Kantar Media CMAG, spotted the ad running on broadcast television stations in Toledo and Youngstown, Ohio -- two Ohio manufacturing strongholds.
Martin, the GM representative, said Romney's ads show that the candidate is "bereft of any fundamental understanding of the global automotive industry.
"All global manufacturers, whether General Motors, Ford, Chrysler or VW, build historically in the markets in which we sell," he continued.
Romney's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
