The S.C. Junior Golf Association announced this week that Pinewood Junior Reona Hirai has won the prestigious 2012 Beth Daniel Player of the Year Award.
The award, presented in honor of LPGA Hall of Fame Member Beth Daniel, recognizes the top female player for the SCJGA.
The Dec. 1 issue of the Heritage Classic Foundation Rankings is the final issue of the year and the top spot at seasons end is the SCJGA Player of the Year. The Heritage Classic Foundation Rankings are based on overall finishes in tournaments across South Carolina and nationwide. Points are compiled from over 200 events conducted over the past 12 months.
Hirai started the year in 13th place and started to work her way up with a strong summer. She won the Jimmy Self Junior Festival of Flowers, the Carolinas Junior PGA, and finished in second at the popular Blade Junior Golf Classic.
As the high school season started, solid finishes moved her to third in the rankings by the end of October. Then she went on a tear with four straight victories. The Edisto Low Country Invitational, Cheraw Fall Challenge, the SCJGA Players Championship, and the George Holiday all have her as the 2012 Champion. She managed to take over the top spot in five weeks of play over her good friend, Kelli Murphy, by a close 44 points. She finished the season with an outstanding 1751 points.
Hirai is a member of the Pinewood Girls and Boys golf teams and has helped lead the girls to three consecutive SCISA state championships.

Vt. man accused of NH stabbing found 'restorable'July 29,2013The Associated Press
NORTH HAVERHILL, N.H. - A psychologist has declared a Vermont man charged with fatally stabbing a private school trustee in a New Hampshire hotel lobby "not competent, but restorable."
Rodney Hill of West Danville, Vt., said he was going through a divorce and was angry over an email from his boss when he stabbed White Mountain School trustee Catherine Houghton on Jan. 28 at the Hampton Inn in Littleton. They were strangers.
The Caledonian Record reports (http://bit.ly/149TjAR) Dennis Becotte, a clinical psychologist with the state Office of the Forensic Medical Examiner, diagnosed Hill in February. A second psychologist was scheduled to examine Hill on July 11.
A judge granted a motion to seal Hill's competency evaluation and related documents on July 22.

Dana White: Potential Olympic wrestling demise could be MMA's gain | News
LONDON Tuesday's news that the International Olympic Committee has plans to eliminate wrestling starting with the 2020 games sent shockwaves through the MMA community.
Dozens of fighters took to social media to rally the troops in support of the sport, which has led many amateur wrestlers ultimately to mixed martial arts including many eventual champions.
And while UFC President Dana White is sympathetic and said he doesn't want the sport to go away at the Olympic level, he's also not very surprised.
White has been a supporter of amateur wrestling, and said he knows its importance in MMA.
"I've been battling this problem for years now," White on Wednesday told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) after a news conference for UFC on FUEL TV 7 in London. "Colleges are dropping it. High schools are dropping wrestling. The problem with wrestling is, it's an awesome base for mixed martial arts, for everything I mean, I've never wrestled, but what I hear it does to guys that wrestle, it changes peoples' lives. It's this grueling, hard work and dedication all the things that go in with being a wrestler."
But ultimately, could the possible demise of the sport, at least post-high school level, wind up being a plus for MMA in terms of its potential at the Olympic level.
"The problem is nobody wants to watch it," White said. "Any sport, especially these days, it's about selling tickets and eyeballs and viewers and all these other things. And there's been a lot of people saying, 'You've got to f---ing do something,' but and Garry (Cook) and I were talking about this yesterday what this could be is the evolution of mixed martial arts becoming an Olympic sport."
White said MMA's status as one of the fastest growing sports in the world could help usher it into the Olympics.
But as for wrestling's fate? White believes that may be, unfortunately, sealed.
"We bring spectators, eyeballs whether it's TV or whatever it is," he said. "This sport draws. Wrestling doesn't. I can't be the guy to run out and try and save wrestling. I've been doing it for years. You know how many wrestling programs I funded over the past five, six years? A lot. Yeah, I don't want to see wrestling go away either. It's such a big part of the sport. But, something's going to happen here. It's going to evolve into mixed martial arts or something. I don't know. I don't think wrestling is going to go anywhere, but competitive wrestling definitely is."

Beard: Classic Batman TV series to be released on DVDWritten by Jim Beard | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Nearly forty-six years after its final broadcast, the 1960s Batman TV series starring Adam West is set to be released on DVD later this year, marking the first time ever the classic show will be available for home viewing.
Let that one sink in: First Time Ever. We've had VHS tapes since 1976, LaserDisc since 1978, DVDs since 1995, and Blu-ray discs since 2006. We've even had Super-8 film since before the TV show debuted in 1966, but aside from pirated DVD sets, there's never been an official home viewing release of Batman. That might seem like a joke, so perhaps it makes it even more fitting that the recent good news came by way of funnyman Conan O'Brien on Twitter. Burt Ward, who played Robin on the series, thought it was a hoax and was ready to denounce O'Brien until 13thDimension.com, a comics news website, convinced him otherwise.
The exact reasons behind the Holy Holdup are murky, but it's probable that the nuts and bolts of it are the same things that are now causing a bit of a stir among the fans of the show: the rights issues. Legend has it that the multitude of rights for the series – actors, music, design, production, characters – were a legal morass that strung out the proceedings for decades, and have currently created a niggle of fear in some consumers that the upcoming DVDs might be edited to omit bits that haven't been legally ironed out with the rest.
Could it be? Batman episodes without Werner Klemperer's cameo as Col. Klink? Excised of Chad and Jeremy's rendition of "Distant Shores"? Missing the knockdown-dragout fight between Robin and the Green Hornet's Kato? Well, possibly, but one would like to think that all rights to the show have been covered after forty-six years of negotiations and Bat-fans may rest easy knowing that Susie Knickerbocker's window appearance in the second season's "King Tut's Coup" will remain intact. What would Batman be with it?
Regardless, Warner Bros. claims the show will be released complete in one box set of all three seasons. No word has come down yet on any extras – Lyle Waggoner's screen test as Batman, anyone? – or if the show will also then be released on Blu-ray. Stay tuned, citizens!

Wednesday night's blockbuster UEFA Champions League last-16 clash saw United draw 1-1 at the Bernabeu to set up an intriguing second leg at Old Trafford next month.
Welbeck opened the scoring in Madrid from a Wayne Rooney corner before former Red Devils ace Cristiano Ronaldo pulled things level with a majestic header 10 minutes later.
United veteran Giggs, who came off the bench just after the hour mark to make his 150th appearance in European football, believes their away goal could prove key in the battle to reach the quarter-finals.
He told Sky Sports: "There's plenty of positives. It's obviously a good result.
"We scored the goal - which is always important, getting that away goal - and we defended really well, so we're relatively happy.
"The team that we picked, we had goals in us, and that's what we tried to do, score goals and create chances."
Giggs was full of praise for young team-mate Welbeck, who proved a nuisance to Madrid's defence on several occasions.
The Welshman added: "He was brilliant all night, Danny. He was causing them all sorts of problems. He deserved the goal."

If you want to build an AK-ish rifle with minimal AK parts, you're limited to blowback, or you have to use an AK trunnion, bolt, and bolt carrier. Those are all fairly complex parts to DIY.
I was looking at an exploded view of an AR-15 last night. The barrel screws into a "barrel extension" which looks like a simple stepped bushing; threaded for the barrel at one end, locking lugs in the other. I assume it's pressed into the upper receiver; I've never had an AR apart.
You could press an AR extension into a simple block and then you'd have a threaded front trunnion with locking lugs, that an ordinary AR bolt would lock into.
The AR bolt carrier wouldn't work at all. You'd have to make an AK-ish carrier from scratch... it might be possible to do the carrier as a weldment, and cut the cam track all the way through with a Dremel instead of an internal track like an AK.
I have no idea about the barrel diameters of an AR, but adapting the RSB and GB wouldn't be a big deal.
I present this as a thought experiment; it would be more work than it's worth as long as AK trunnions, bolts, and carriers are affordable, unless you just wanted to avoid imported AK parts as much as possible.

The Yadkin County Cooperative Extension held its annual report to the people on March 18.
The organization reported that it had several accomplishments in 2012. It had a reported 10,418 face-to-face contacts with residents, 9,298 non face-to-face contacts, 362 volunteers in various extension programs, 1,016 hours of volunteer service for a total value of $20,574 for those hours if they were paid $20.25 an hour.
The organization also reported a total of 99 programs conducted by extension staff, 10 volunteer advisory leadership groups and $8,000 in non-county extension program funds received.

Staebner also noted that 80 high school aged youth who participated in 4-H clubs, 68 youths who participated in the 4-H dropout prevention program and 56 youth who increased or improved their knowledge, attitudes, skills and/or aspirations regarding leadership.
Staebner pointed out the department's CSI summer camp program that allows students the opportunity to spend a week learning about forensic science, criminal investigations, canine drug developments and courtroom proceedings.
Staebner also bragged on her 4-H participants who prepared 40 dozen Christmas cookies which they delivered to Yadkin Christian Ministries because they wanted to provide for those who had less than they did last Christmas.
Family and consumer sciences department reported an increase of 399 youth who increased their fruit and vegetable consumption in 2012, 500 participants who increased their physical activity.
A total of 349 adults reported to have increased their vegetable and fruit intake, 55 adults who reduced their total cholesterol, 180 people who gained basic financial management knowledge and skills and 83 people who gained knowledge or skills to increase family economic security due to programs offered by Cooperative Extension.
Marilyn Wells, Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences, said that 2013 is the bicentennial year for the Community Association and that they plan to celebrate the milestone with events throughout the year.
In agriculture, Cooperative Extension boasts $25,000 in net income gains by animal producers adopting Extension-recommended best management practices, 35,000 tons of livestock organic by-products utilized, $45,000 net income gain by using livestock organic by-products instead of synthetic fertilizers.
The organization also reported 75 animal producers implementing Extension-recommended best management practices for animal waste management and 9,000 acres where Extension recommended waste analysis was used for proper land application.
Cooperative Extension Director Colleen Church reported that the Extension's chemical waste container collected 387 one-gallon containers, 2,500 two and a half gallon containers and 37 five-gallon containers for a total of 2,180 total pounds of plastic that would not be sent to the county landfill.
Church noted that Cooperative Extension must continue to work on educating farmers how to properly clean and prepare the containers before disposing of them because several individuals are still not adhering to the containers policies.
Extension agents announced that the annual Yadkin County Farmer's Market would resume on May 7 at the location off Tennessee Road beside Yadkinville Community Park.
Church also announced that the market has plans to extend its business to another day but is not prepared to announce the day of the week that will be right now.

First of all, BIG thanks to rahatlakhoom for doing the welding I couldn't do with my buddy's 90 amp mig. Also thanks goes to anyone else who has built one (I did a LOT of research).
This is my 3rd gun (also have a Saiga 223 and a Remington 11-48 12ga) and my first build. I come from a hobbyist machining background, that experience made this build a lot easier than it would have been. I started with a AMD-65 barrelless kit and a PPsh 16" barrel. I'll list the highlights that set it apart from others.
-The receiver was shortened nearly an inch and a quarter.
-The top cover is hinged at the rear sight block so the rear sight can maintain a zero.
-The front sight was welded to the gas block at 3/8" over the standard height to align with the HK rear.
-The barrel had to be sleeved in 3 places to fit the trunnion, hg retainer and FSB.
-Mag catches were welded to PPs-43 magazines to fit in an aluminum internal magwell.
It was running at about 85% efficiency with S&B ammo. But now I got a case of polish surplus and the firing pin isn't puncturing the hard primers. I reworked it a bit and it should be working better now.
The main problem I've been having is that sometimes it will short stroke, not resetting the hammer (NOT hammer follow) or ejecting the cartridge. Its quite puzzling since when it works, it has a nice crisp kick. When it short strokes, the kick is very weak. I think more polishing and filing of the rails would fix the short stroking.

USDA Seeks Comments on Three Proposed Onion Grade Standards
Release No.: 062-13
Pam Stanziani, (202) 720-8998
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22, 2013 The U.S. Department of Agriculture is requesting comments on proposed revisions to three standards: U.S. Standards for Grades of Creole Onions, U.S. Standards for Grades of Bermuda-Granex-Grano Type Onions, and U.S. Standards for Grades of Onions (Other Than Bermuda-Granex-Grano and Creole Type).
The USDAs Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is seeking comments on modifying the three standards to allow for an assortment of onion colors in mixed or specialty pack varieties.
AMS works with industry representatives and others to establish or revise U.S. standards for nearly 240 agricultural products. Industry uses the standards in the marketplace to specify the quality of commodities. Standards facilitate commerce by providing a common language for trade and a means of measuring value in the marketing of agricultural products.
The rule for Bermuda-Granex-Grano Type Onions and Onions (Other Than Bermuda-Granex-Grano and Creole Type) will be published in the August 22, 2013, Federal Register. The notice for U.S. Standards for Grades of Creole Onions will also be published in the August 22, 2013, Federal Register. Comments may be submitted to
by October 21, 2013. For a copy of the current standards or more information, visit
, or contact Dave Horner by phone: 540-361-1128, e-mail:
or U.S. mail: AMS Fruit & Vegetable Program, USDA, National Training and Development Center, Riverside Business Park, 100 Riverside Parkway, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, Va. 22406.

@RVacchianoNYDN: Hakeem Nicks, by the way, appeared to be moving very well as he ran outside. He was making cuts, backpedaling too. #NYG
eh, it was what I personally expected. cant state how huge it is that we'll be getting our reinforcements back...
this is great news if nicks plays bc the giants (bradshaw in particular) have said they were holding him out so that when he returns he will be as close to 100% as possible
and if KP plays, it will help us out tremendously bc we can use the 3 safety set
Hmm it's as if we were being extra careful with a ton of these guys and decided to save them for the 49ers game. Not surprised one bit.
Welcome to the team Flowers!
Excerpt: "Hakeem Nicks did some running on the side and looked quick and agile.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Nicks will not practice today, but he is hopeful the wide receiver will practice sometime this week.
Seeing Nicks move side to side, backpedal and run somewhere between half to three-quarters pace is encouraging and a positive step toward playing against San Francisco on Sunday.

Church: Not even Cardinals are out of God's help
A Glendale church is offering a dose of football faith.
The reader board outside of the West Greenway Bible Church reads, "No one is beyond God's help, not even the Cardinals. Luke 18:27."
Pastor John Correia said the verse says that, with God, all things are possible. He put the verse up after hearing fans and players alike were giving up on the season.
"It just prompted me to say, 'No, it's just the opposite. There's always hope, there's always help available.'"
As far as what fans should pray for, Correia said don't ask for wins, ask for peace in the locker room.
"It's pretty obvious that there's going to be some staff changes and some changes on the roster in the off-season and those people are going to be looking for jobs and, whatnot and guess what? We need to pray for those folks too."

The documented history of aloe vera dates back at least 6000 years. In ancient Egypt aloe was referred to as the "plant of immortality" and often buried with royalty to help them in the after life. Over the past six centuries it has been used for everything from moisturizing, to reducing inflammation, soothing burns and sores and even to help with digestive issues.
Documentation regarding the medical history of aloe vera can be found all over the world and across many different eras. Including a codex from the 6th century and a papyrus document from the 16th century.
Only over the last 100 years or so, as the medical industry has made huge strides in curing all kinds of maladies, the medicinal uses of aloe vera has extended significantly. One of the most surprising uses found to date is using aloe vera for hair loss. One such product that uses this natural hair loss remedy is Regenepure.
It has also been widely researched in the fields of multiple sclerosis and psoriasis. As we progress over the next 100 years or so, it will be amazing to see just how much further the medical uses of aloe vera will grow.

United Volleyball Conference Forms
Begins Competition This Spring
- Release Date:
- August 31, 2010
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
ROCHESTER, NY – Dr. Catherine B. Hill,Vassar College President, is pleased to announce the formation of the United Volleyball Conference (UVC), a men's volleyball conference consisting of 12 outstanding NCAA Division III athletic and academic institutions.
"On behalf of the UVC Presidents Council, we are delighted by the establishment of the United Volleyball Conference." said Dr. Hill. "We are looking forward to the first season of UVC play. The conference will be a wonderful addition for our student athletes."
The UVC consists of Bard College (NY), D'Youville College (NY), Elmira College (NY), Hilbert College (NY), Medaille College (NY), Nazareth College (NY), New York University (NY), Penn State-Behrend College (PA), Stevens Institute of Technology (NJ), SUNY IT (NY), SUNY New Paltz (NY), and Vassar College (NY).
"I know I speak for all UVC members when I say how proud we are to be a part of this new group that will play an integral role in the transition of Division III men's volleyball to an NCAA championship structure," said Russell Rogers, who is the UVC Vice-President and Director of Athletics at Stevens Institute of Technology. "The conference is going to provide an outstanding experience for its student-athletes and add excitement to student life on each of our campuses."
The inaugural season is prepared to commence with 10 of its members in the first competitive campaign. NYU is completing its final season with the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, while Penn State-Behrend recently added the sport and its first season will be in 2011-12. The UVC has already been recognized by the NCAA as an officially sanctioned single sport conference, an important move as the Division III membership prepares to adopt men's volleyball as an NCAA Division III Championship sport this January at the annual convention. Approval by the membership would give Division III men's volleyball an NCAA Tournament effective 2011-12.
"The UVC features an excellent blend of outstanding academic and athletic institutions," said Chuck Mitrano, commissioner of the UVC and of the Empire 8 Athletic Conference. "With the outstanding leadership of the Presidents, Athletic Directors, and coaches it is going to be a vibrant and exceptional conference in the service of its membership for many years to come."

- Description:
- Digital image scanned from an original black and white photograph.
- Statement Of Significance:
- The Royal Society of Victoria organised an expedition to Cape York, northern Queensland, to view the solar eclipse of 12 December 1871. The colonial governments of Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia contributed funds to the expedition. The expedition party sailed from Melbourne on 22 November, stopped in Sydney to pick up further members of the party, and arrived at Cape Sidmouth, 176 miles south of Cape York, on 6 December. The party consisted of an observing party of 14, with 16 additional passengers. They chose an island known as No 6 on the Claremont Group as the observing station.
Robert Ellery led the group from Melbourne Observatory, which also included Observatory staff E. J. White, C. E. Moerlin and E. F. MacGeorge. Observatory telescopes, spectroscopic and telegraphic equipment were prepared for the expedition, and further equipment was sent by the Eclipse Committee of the British Association.
The day of the eclipse was unfortunately overcast and raining, and the party could see little of the eclipse. Other members of the party were able to make magnetic and meteorological observations, while botanical and natural history specimens were also collected. Edward White reported in his diary that the observers and equipment were ready for the eclipse; but the 'weather cloudy with heavy rain and thunder and lightning'. 'During totality a ring of light surrounding the Sun was just visible through the clouds, the birds went to roost, but the darkness was not very great, but peculiar, ordinary print could be read with great ease, and the vessel, half a mile off, was distinctly visible, with all the rigging &c, rain continued to pour down till 5 o'clock and no more was seen of the eclipse; thus all our trouble and expense had been for nothing, the greatest disappointment was visible in every face. Soon after the end of totality the packing of the instruments &c commenced, and everything was aboard by 5.30 PM. At dinner toasts were drunk and speeches made, so that we made ourselves as jolly as possible under the circumstances.'

While Samsung is best known to mass market consumers for its smartphones and other consumer electronics, the Korea-based tech leader made it clear on Thursday that it is now staging an all-out foray into new SSD technologies. Samsung announced new entries in its SSD 840 EVO line aimed at the consumer market and the SSD XS1715 line targeting enterprise data center storage applications.
The company made its intentions loud and clear in Seoul on Thursday at a Samsung SSD Global Summit celebration, themed "SSDs for everyone."
"We are introducing much faster SSDs with up to 1TB capacities offering consumers a wider range of choices," said Young-Hyun Jun, executive vice president, memory & marketing.
Look for Early August
Its 840 EVO lineup carries up to 1TB of storage, with capacities from 120GB up to 1TB, and will be available early August. The five capacities are 120GB, 250GB, 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB. They support various computing environments and IT applications. For the 1TB 840 EVO SSD, the sequential read/write performance has reached 540MB/s and 520MB/s.
For users handling very large data files, the numbers involved in the new lineup will make a difference. Both the random read and write performance have improved, reaching 98,000 IOPS (input output per second) and 90,000 IOPS, respectively.
The new SSD XS1715 line targeting enterprise data center storage applications will be ready in the second half of this year.
The enterprise SSD launch is a high-speed 1.6TB NVMe SSD that provides a sequential read speed at 3,000MB/s. Those numbers mean that it can process 500GB of data equivalent to 100 full HD movies 5GB in length in less than three minutes. According to Samsung, the new XS1715 delivers random read performance over 10 times faster than the company's former high-end enterprise storage SSD. The XS1715's random read performance reaches up to 740,000 IOPS.
SSD Heaven, At What Price?
With all these impressive technological advantages to SSDs for home and enterprise use, why is the computing world not entirely SSD? Pricing plays a role in preferences for hard disk drives, the dominant choice for PC makers. In time, however, analysts expect SSD prices will fall.
Samsung is ready to pick up a hefty share of market demand and on Thursday made that strategic intent very clear. "Samsung continues to enhance its SSD brand image by delivering the industry's highest quality solutions and continuously increasing its SSD market share by expanding the adoption of higher density SSDs especially in client PC segments," said Samsung's Young-Hyun Jun.
As for the SSD XS1715, Samsung said that it intends to continue developing a variety of NVMe SSD products over the next several years, with increasingly high performance levels.

- Modelling the many-body dynamics of heavy ion collisions (1997)
- Basic problems of the semiclassical microscopic modelling of strongly interacting systems are discussed within the framework of Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD). This model allows to study the influence of several types of nucleonic interactions on a large variety of observables and phenomena occur- ring in heavy ion collisions at relativistic energies. It is shown that the same predictions can be obtained with several numerically completely di erent and independently written programs as far as the same model parameters are employed and the same basic approximations are made. Many observ- ables are robust against variations of the details of the model assumptions used. Some of the physical results, however, depend also on rather technical parameters like the preparation of the initial configuration in phase space. This crucial problem is connected with the description of the ground state of single nuclei, which di ers among the various approaches. An outlook to an improved molecular dynamics scheme for heavy ion collisions is given.
- A micro-canonical description of hadron production in proton-proton collisions (2003)
- A micro-canonical treatment is used to study particle production in pp collisions. First this micro-canonical treatment is compared to some canonical ones. Then proton, antiproton and pion 4 pi multiplicities from proton-proton collisions at various center of mass energies are used to fix the micro-canonical parameters (E) and (V). The dependences of the micro-canonical parameters on the collision energy are parameterised for the further study of pp reactions with this micro-canonical treatment.
- Micro-canonical hadron production in pp collisions (2003)
- We apply a microcanonical statistical model to investigate hadron production in pp collisions. The parameters of the model are the energy E and the volume V of the system, which we determine via fitting the average multiplicity of charged pions, protons and antiprotons in pp collisions at different collision energies. We then make predictions of mean multiplicities and mean transverse momenta of all identified hadrons. Our predictions on nonstrange hadrons are in good agreement with the data, the mean transverse momenta of strange hadron as well. However, the mean multiplicities of strange hadrons are overpredicted. This agrees with canonical and grandcanonical studies, where a strange suppression factor is needed. We also investigate the influence of event-by-event fluctuations of the E parameter.
- Transport theories for heavy ion collisions in the 1 AGeV regime (2004)
- We compare multiplicities as well as rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of protons, pions and kaons calculated within presently available transport approaches for heavy ion collisions around 1 AGeV. For this purpose, three reactions have been selected: Au+Au at 1 and 1.48 AGeV and Ni+Ni at 1.93 AGeV.
- Microscopic calculations of stopping and flow from 160AMeV to 160AGeV (1996)
- The behavior of hadronic matter at high baryon densities is studied within Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD). Baryonic stopping is observed for Au+Au collisions from SIS up to SPS energies. The excitation function of flow shows strong sensitivities to the underlying equation of state (EOS), allowing for systematic studies of the EOS. Effects of a density dependent pole of the rho-meson propagator on dilepton spectra are studied for different systems and centralities at CERN energies.
- Signatures of dense hadronic matter in ultrarelativistic heavy ion reactions (1996)
- The behavior of hadronic matter at high baryon densities is studied within Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD). Baryonic stopping is observed for Au+Au collisions from SIS up to SPS energies. The excitation function of flow shows strong sensitivities to the underlying equation of state (EOS), allowing for systematic studies of the EOS. Dilepton spectra are calculated with and without shifting the rho pole. Except for S+Au collisions our calculations reproduce the CERES data.
- Microscopic models for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions (1998)
- In this paper, the concepts of microscopic transport theory are introduced and the features and shortcomings of the most commonly used ansatzes are discussed. In particular, the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) transport model is described in great detail. Based on the same principles as QMD and RQMD, it incorporates a vastly extended collision term with full baryon-antibaryon symmetry, 55 baryon and 32 meson species. Isospin is explicitly treated for all hadrons. The range of applicability stretches from E lab < 100$ MeV/nucleon up to E lab> 200$ GeV/nucleon, allowing for a consistent calculation of excitation functions from the intermediate energy domain up to ultrarelativistic energies. The main physics topics under discussion are stopping, particle production and collective flow.

Softball Season Recap
- Release Date:
- June 4, 2012
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
2012 Season Review: Working through a rookie head coach and the addition of several first year players, the 2012 seniors led the Hilbert softball program back to a competitive level of play by the time they graduated in May. The 2012 Hawks improved to 8-19 with a few big Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) wins after suffering a 1-26 rainy and shortened 2011 season. The Lisa Baker led-program saw improvements in the Hawks offense and defense with upgraded markers in both categories.
Hilbert opened Baker's inaugural season with two close losses (Johnson State and Keystone State) on the first day of the Fastpitch Dreams Spring Classic in Myrtle Beach, SC. The Hawks rebounded the next morning giving Baker her first win as a head coach in their 13-1 victory over Johnson State but then suffered two losses in a row to Drew University and Baptist Bible. After a 13-2 victory over Henry Ford Community College, Hilbert dropped their next contest (6-4) to Ursuline; later that day, they captured their second Division III countable-win over The College Of New Rochelle (12-2, 5 innings). The blue and white squared off against another community college (Kellogg) to end their nine-game tourney down south. Hilbert returned to Western New York with a 2-5 overall record against Division III teams and they proved they were ready for whatever mother-nature could throw at them. After what seemed like a rained-out 2011 season, the clouds and rain stayed away and allowed for great games to be played up north.
Hilbert faced Penn State Behrend in their first northern game and captured their first-ever AMCC win over the Lions in the second game of the double header. The Hawks built a 5-2 lead through six innings and held on in the bottom of the seventh (5-4) for their first AMCC win for Baker and their first victory – home or away – over the Lions, who finished the season at 16-2 as the AMCC champions. Two more AMCC opponents grabbed wins from the Hawks (Altoona and Mount Aloysius) before Hilbert won their first double header victory of the season against Cazenovia (15-7, 10-0 in 5 innings).
The Hawks finished the season with six conference double headers and captured three games along the way. After losing the La Roche and Bradford, Hilbert took their second double header double wins against Franciscan University April 14 (19-3 in 5 innings, and 12-7). They followed those wins up with a road victory against cross-town rival Medaille College (4-2), again pulling a first victory from the Mavericks since the 2005 season. The Greensburg and D'Youville games completed the 2012 season positioning the Hawks in ninth place in the AMCC league with a 4-14 record.
Seniors Halsey Baker, Allison Hall, Jill Martucci, and Emili Ripley were one consistent core group of players through the coaching changes and they seemed to thrive their senior year as players and teammates. Baker finished the 2012 season ranked 7th in Division III statistics in doubles per game after she led the team with 14 double-bagers and her career best .356 batting average and team best 32 RBIs. Ripley led the Hawks, and set a new standard for the program, when she whacked 6 home runs and finished ranked 176 in Division III in home runs per game. The third-year athlete graduated with a .314 batting average covering 50 bases. Martucci tied for first place on the team with two triples and finished second with nine doubles scoring a team-best 32 runs. And Allison Hall had a few very timely hits to help elevate the Hawks to eight wins this season.
Freshman first basewoman Rachel Collierled the Hawks going .483 at the plate with nine walks and four strike outs en route to being named to the AMCC Third Team All-Conference squad.
As a team, the Hawks made dramatic improvements statistically across the board. Hilbert finished the season ranked 40th in Division III with .333 batting average. Where a season ago, Martucci's .361 average led the team, this year's team had six players hit better than .361. Offensively Hilbert more than doubled their runs scored from a season ago (166 vs. 80) and defensively, the Hawks held their opponents to twenty-four fewer tallies.
Sharing the main duties in the circle were Ripley and junior Devan Jonathan who were supported by Vicki Ernst and Allison Hall. The four combined to improve Hilbert's pitching in every category shutting down their opponent's to a .351 average (vs. a .406 in 2011).
With the loss of experienced graduates, coach Baker will rely on thirteen returning veterans and a crop of new rookies to continue to improve the competitiveness of the softball program with the goal of capturing the AMCC championship each season.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

I was so excited when I saw this palette announced as it's right up my alley! Not only are the colours eye-catching and beautiful, but the colours are intensely pigmented and apply very well. They really can be built up on the lid, but I find it doesn't take much at all to get full opacity.
The only downside is that some colours aren't eye safe, but I experience no problems using them, and there's nothing to stop you from using them anywhere else.
Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette ($49.00 for 0.40 oz.) consists of ten shades in the theme of all that is bold and colorful–you know, electric. It includes two previously-seen shades, Revolt and Chaos, while the other eight are new to the palette. Each shade is 0.04 oz., which is a little shy of full-sized eyeshadow (0.05 oz.), and it also includes a dual-ended brush.

GENEVA — A diplomatic breakthrough Saturday on securing and destroying Syria's chemical weapons stockpile averted the threat of U.S. military action for the moment and could swing momentum toward ending a horrific civil war.
Marathon negotiations between U.S. and Russian diplomats at a Geneva hotel produced a sweeping agreement that will require one of the most ambitious arms-control efforts in history.
The deal involves making an inventory and seizing all components of Syria's chemical weapons program and imposing penalties if President Bashar Assad's government fails to comply will the terms.
After days of intense day-and-night negotiations between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and their teams, the two powers announced they had a framework for ridding the world of Syria's chemicals weapons.
The U.S. said Assad used them in an Aug. 21 attack on the outskirts of Damascus, the capital, killing more than 1,400 civilians. That prompted President Barack Obama to ready American airstrikes on his order – until he decided last weekend to ask for authorization from the U.S. Congress. Then came the Russian proposal, and Obama asked Congress, already largely opposed to military intervention, to delay a vote.
Kerry and Lavrov said they agreed on the size of the chemical weapons inventory, and on a speedy timetable and measures for Assad to do away with the toxic agents.
But Syria, a Moscow ally, kept silent on the development, while Obama made clear that "if diplomacy fails, the United States remains prepared to act."
The deal offers the potential for reviving international peace talks to end a civil war that has claimed more than 100,000 lives and sent 2 million refugees fleeing for safety, and now threatens the stability of the entire Mideast.
Kerry and Lavrov, along with the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said the chances for a follow-up peace conference in Geneva to the one held in June 2012 would depend largely on the weapons deal.
The U.S. and Russia are giving Syria just one week, until Sept. 21, to submit "a comprehensive listing, including names, types and quantities of its chemical weapons agents, types of munitions, and location and form of storage, production, and research and development facilities."

"Maritime Mates" water toys and pool games feature cheerful characters to encourage beginning swimmers and lots of exciting games to keep big kids splashing, swimming and having a blast. Summer is even more fun with Sunny Patch pool toys!
Extension Activities: More Ways to Play and Learn:
- SPARK SHARK TOSS & CATCH (1-2 players)
Toss the ball with one hand and catch it with your Spark Shark net. (The ball is intended to be tossed by hand.)
- Each player holds one net and one ball, and floats/stands at the starting line inside the pool. Agree on a finish line, such as the opposite wall of the pool. On the count of three, both players drop the balls into the water, then use only the tail (handle) of the Spark Shark net to push the ball across the pool to the finish line. The first player whose ball touches the finish line wins!

"The Channel Transitions event could not have come at a better time for us. As-a-Service offerings are just now making headway in our vertical spaces, and this conference has given voice to that movement. Hearing from those who have been successful in this transition really encourages those who are ready themselves. ScanSource had three key people attend the Channel Transitions event.

- Greg Dixon, Chief Technology Officer, ScanSource
"The Channel Transitions Conference was a necessary first in our industry. VARs have been looking to understand the objectives, methods, and financials behind the transition to an as-a-Service model.

Diaz weighed in at 155.6 pounds for his lightweight title fight against Benson Henderson. For a title fight, there is no one-pound allowance. Diaz initially appeared slightly perplexed that he needed to make 155 on the button for the lightweight title fight. He returned shortly after the official weigh-in event, reportedly after using the bathroom, and weighed 155.2 still with about 100 minutes on the clock to get to 155.
On his third attempt, Diaz hit 155 pounds, UFC officials confirmed to MMAjunkie.com. He hit the mark less than an hour after his first attempt.The full weigh-in results included:

The internet is a minefield of scams, from mothers' secret formulas for flush abs to insidious get-rich-quick schemes to fake Louboutin shoes. And, to be honest, when I first heard of Indochino I added it to the pile. A custom suit that cost below $500, delivered within three weeks, with $75 of alterations thrown in if you needed to change it.
Well, colour me surprised that it actually worked. It's relatively fool-proof: You either measure yourself with your own tape measure or order a Tailor's Kit - a $29 series of swatches and nice tape-measures that comes with $29 worth of Indochino credit. The site guides you through the vagaries of your own body, guestimates measurements and lets you adjust to fit your own body. You save, you order, and in three weeks you get a suit. If you need to get a tailor to tighten it up, you scan in your receipts, send them to Indochino, and they'll give you up to $75 back for your adjustments.
I, personally, had to get a tuxedo made-to-measure for my wedding that they let me have to try out. I was tenuous and worrisome and considered not taking the risk and going with my other favourite tailor, Astor & Black for a tuxedo that would cost me over $1000. However, in the name of good reporting and penny-pinching, I got my poor, innocent fiancé to measure me based on the videos (which Indochino reminds me are not standard – they're body-measurements versus those of your clothes) and crossed my fingers that there were no major mistakes. 20 days from hitting order, I received the tuxedo (shipped and manufactured in China), put it on and was…pleasantly surprised.
It felt good. It fit well. A slightly baggy waist was fixed with a belt. It actually worked, and it's hard to say that without sounding like the very infomertials I abhor. It was the quality of my other favourite men's clothing e-tailer, Bonobos, but with the custom touch (for a little more money and a lot more waiting-time.) The only worrying element that remains is the manufacturing in China. However, CEO and Co-Founder Kyle Vucko, this doesn't really effect the final product:
"Most wools come from the same mills in China – it doesn't really make a difference. For example, our Vincero line of suits use the same wool as that used by Ralph Lauren for its Purple Label menswear range. You can also evaluate fabric upon a range of factors including weight, composition (wool, linen, silk, cashmere, etc.) and thread count. What enables us to offer unique pricing is our model – we work directly with our production partners in Shanghai and ship direct to the customer."
Indochino passes the discounts onto customers versus the commonplace model of relying on a nationwide salesforce to measure customers in a store, in their home or on the street, if they must. It's a good model – also used by Bonobos (though they just opened up their first brick & mortar storefront in Boston) and Warby Parker to make items approachably priced (and yet keep their margins), and one that the fashion industry seems to be cottoning onto, with companies like underwear e-tailer MeUndies jumping in to handle the more basic options.
As a business, Indochino has grown pretty steadily, with 40,000 customers in 60 countries, with revenue doubling year-over-year. They've recently upgraded the site to adapt to any device after realizing many of their customers were reading their email newsletter on their phones or tablets, and getting a sub-par experience. While nothing approaching that of a dedicated iOS or Android app, the new site does allow make quick changes to your sizes from your phone, as well as put full orders through.
Their next venture has been to deal with the pain-point of cack-handed suit-wanters who can't measure themselves properly – The Travelling Tailor. In about 15 minutes they'll measure you, prep the fabrics you'd want and help you put through an order (like Bonobos' Fit Ninjas). They'll be hitting Toronto from June 12th, with their first US destination being Seattle in July – followed by San Francisco, LA and Chicago in before finishing up in New York in November.
Gentlemen, it may be time to suit up.

Welcome to Transfer-Wisconsin
There's much more to Transfer Wisconsin than just seeing how your credits transfer. If you are planning to transfer to a University of Wisconsin (UW) institution or a Wisconsin Technical College (WTC), use this site to take the next step to achieve your college education goals!
- You can get started on your transfer planning, use our handy transfer checklist or apply for admission.
- Go to the Credit Transfer Wizard to see how individual classes or courses in entire departments will transfer.
- If you are attending a UW College, use the Transfer Guides for the courses, gpa and requirements for your intended major at the UW you plan to transfer to.
- If you are attending a Wisconsin Technical College (WTC), see the more than 500 Articulation Agreements that permit occupational courses in specific degree programs to transfer into a UW major. Or, take a look at the new Universal Credit Transfer Agreement, a set of courses that transfer between all UWs and WTCSs.
- Go to the Transfer Plans to see how your classes will meet requirements in the program you want to transfer to.
The Transfer Information System (TIS) is a statewide initiative to improve transfer for Wisconsin students, and includes tools like the Credit Transfer Wizards, Transfer Guides, Articulation Agreements, and Transfer Plans.
Transfer Wisconsin, a website maintained by the University of Wisconsin System, is the result of a collaborative effort by UW System (UW) and Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) to help students transfer between all public, post-secondary institutions in Wisconsin.
UW System Transfer Reports
These reports include information on University of Wisconsin (UW) System transfer students. The Program Assessment Reports focus particular attention on transfers from the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) with assessment of both current and new articulation agreements, which allow students to transfer courses from a specific program at a WTCS district into a similar program at a UW institution.
