In July 2010, we published the first in a series of articles which connected the surging demand for rhino horn to a timeline of developments in China's traditional medicine industry. And during that time, more than 100 live rhinos were supplied to China by South Africa.
Although it has been widely thought that the rumor of rhino horn's alleged "cancer-curing" power started in Vietnam, we now strongly suspect that this rumor originated with (or was propagated by) China's Longhui Pharmaceutical "rhino horn harvesting" project.
Market demand for a 'cancer cure'
The Longhui Pharmaceutical Company publicly claims that it plans to sell rhino horn as a cancer treatment (among other things) on a "rhino horn biological medicine industrialization project" information page located on the Fularji District People's Government website (http://flej.gov.cn), as well as in a similar document obtained elsewhere. Both sources appear to have been published between 2005 — 2006.
Rhino horn is very important in the Chinese medicine field because of its effects: detoxication and anti-cancer, eliminating pathogenic heat from the blood, removing eczema. Rhino horn resources are rare because rhino are protected by [World Organization] and nobody can catch or kill them or trade in rhino horns. The Chinese government encourages people to develop a new substitute for rhino horn, but without substantial progress.
Therefore, the market demand for rhino horn will be great.
'Products with rhino horns'
Longhui Pharmaceutical's project is described as a "complete business chain of raw material extraction, processing, deep development and utilization" and the company's main products are "products with rhino horns, Chinese proprietary medicines or health products".
According to the document, the company's projected annual profit is 178.86 RMB (28.24 million USD) from 390.99 RMB (61.74 million USD) in annual sales.
It was further noted that because rhino horn is "natural and without side effects, traditional Chinese herbal medicine containing rhino horn will be easily accepted by the market and the price will be higher."
Cornering 'the market'
Longhui Pharmaceutical also hopes to control the entire "rhino horn market" by breeding its own rhinos.
The rhino horn will be supplied by the company itself, so there will be no market restraints or competitors, with the company's raw materials providing an obvious advantage. The price of the medicine and its cost will be stable.
Forestry departments aware of the scheme
The horn-harvesting plan has been moving forward with the approval of the National Forestry Bureau.
Longhui Group's "shaving alive rhino horn technology" was approved by the National Forestry Bureau and Ma Jianzhang, professor at Northeast Forestry University and Wild Animal Management academician. He is the leader of this project.
And the State Forestry Administration appears to be in on the scheme, too.
When the project was brought forward, much attention was paid by leaders in the State Forestry Administration.
It is considered to be a good project which can [inherit and] develop traditional Chinese herbal medicine. The development of this project will surely promote the cause of traditional Chinese medicine.
'Unproven use' of rhino horn as cancer treatment
In August 2011, Lixin Huang, the President of the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM) and Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM) released a statement opposing the use of rhino horn in medicines.
There is no evidence that rhino horn is an effective cure for cancer and this is not documented in TCM nor is it approved by the clinical research in traditional Chinese medicine.
Huang suggested that the escalation of rhino killings in South Africa, along with the involvement of organized crime, is driven by the "non-traditional and unproven use" of rhino horn as a cancer treatment.
Peddling bogus cures
The "cancer rumor" is a gimmick to peddle bogus cures — and it's being used to sell other species: Manta rays and pangolins.
Writer John Platt of Scentific American covered the Manta ray situation earlier this month.
TCM practitioners are marketing the rakers — known locally as peng yu sai — as an ingredient for soup that they claim boosts the immune system by reducing toxins and enhancing blood circulation.
Other supposed medical benefits include curing cancer, chickenpox, throat and skin ailments, male kidney issues and, as we often see with TCM, fertility issues.
And at Project Pangolin, we found that the China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine website states that leopard bone, antelope horns, pangolins, bears, and rare snakes are "necessary raw ingredients" for the treatment of "coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, angina, stroke, coma, cerebral vascular disease, fever-induced delirium and shock, infectious diseases, cancer treatment."
(Pangolins are also being farmed for "medicinal use" in China, which is a significant contributing factor to the flourishing illicit pangolin trade.)
Ethics vs. greed
Encouraging cancer-stricken people to consume rhino horn instead of seeking medical treatment?
It seems ethics have sunk to an all-time low — and greed is flying at an all-time high.

Brine Dumping Investigated
ODNR says water poured into private pond
June 6, 2013
WVUGEO, how many of those dosimeter badges seem to be reading radiation levels above the background level? Maybe it wasn't reported in the papers because no radiation detected and no injuries to anyone just isn't news?
And do you have any idea how small a picocurie/liter is? And how much smaller a picocurie/liter becomes when it's diluted in the 8 MILLION liters per second flow rate of the Ohio River? Negligible. Undetectable. But still you babble on...

The radium content of Marcellus flowback makes it far more dangerous than your plain old sewerage. Did everyone here know that the frack fluid plant workers down in Ohio seem to be required to wear radiation exposure dosimeter badges? What? THAT wasn't reported in the papers?

No, not just plain salt water, but by far mostly salt water, and certainly less toxic than raw sewage, and certainly more known than raw sewage. Do you disclose every chemical you flush down your drain? Does the city sewage treatment plant disclose every chemical it dumps in the river? But the anti-frackers are willing participants in that much larger public waste dumping operation.
It's time to put a little perspective on the ridiculous level of hype the loons have associated with fracking. Cancer? Earthquakes? "The death of our planet"? Seriously? LOL

Today's sewage ain't like the old sewage. You have any new, more powerful pharmaceuticals in your medicine cabinet than you did even 10 years ago? How about those new, improved weed killers, stain fighters, teeth whiteners, antibacterial soaps and sanitizers, ... You're not just drinking pure Dove soap anymore. But I wouldn't worry about it. Because you know exactly what's in Weirton's sewage that you're drinking, right? Just keep your attention on those companies who want to collect and a little recycle salt water. Because they might occasionally spill some...

we do know that whatever was in the sewage hasn't hurt us in the 50 years.

You're right, mikeyd. Sewage has MANY more nasty chemicals in it than fracking fluid. Bleaches and detergents and fertilizers and insecticides and herbicides and fungicides and antibiotics and unmetabolized pharmaceuticals and bacteria and viruses.... Fracking fluid is mostly water and salt.
You say you don't know exactly what's in fracking fluid? Well then tell me exactly what's in all your sewage the city is dumping in the river. Surely you publish a complete list of all those chemicals you're flushing down the drain so I know what you're putting in my drinking water.

If the DEP would hold the energy companies accountable for the sub contractors who haul the brine, they might pay more attention to what they do, even the way they drive. For sure the drilling companies work to maintain good will but the subcontractors are gypsies in town for a short period of time to earn some money and never to return. If the energy contractors were fined, or their operations given suspensions they would not expect us to accept that "its the sub contractors, its not us". The company that dumped in the pond needs to be fined heavy enough to put them out of business and the driver's jailed as criminals. Until the people with the money are liable and lose money they are happy to just not pay attention to what their truck subcontractors are doing. Fine the drillers, or even forfeit their drillpads and sell them to other comapnies to pay for the clean up. Talk like that to them and they will follow the subcontractors around like shadows.

I saw two tanker trucks in the parking lot of the funeral home on the border of Hickmechen and Buttwood last week. They were backed up to what looked like a creek on the edge of the parking lot. They had hoses running into the creek from their trucks. Several of the men were standing in front of the trucks, staring at traffic.
I don't know what they were worried about. You could dump Chloride Sludge from a Dynatox Industries truck and Horsemeat wouldn't say a word, so long as Terry Silver delivered his greenbacks in a brown paper bag.

south beech bottom might work also if the next water supply is in wheeling.i would think that in that amount of distance if they did happen to have a spill at least it could be somewhat dilluted by the time it gets to the next water intake.they already have property there at the flats.i'm not trying to run anybody out of anywhere but just trying to help someone out with an answer.i think you need some distance.

GEO, that's a great idea. We should truck SEWAGE and COAL into Warwood. Convert that old industrial-zoned gasoline transfer site into a sewage and coal to gasoline facility, and then truck or barge out the gasoline AND any waste material from that very clean process out to the landfill. Any effluent can just go into the river. No potential for environmental damage there. And it will be so clean and quiet and fragrant and nice... WAAAAAY cleaner than natural gas... mmm mmm mmm
Wonder why coal boosters like GEO are so opposed to disposing of gas industry waste a mile underground where it came from, but see sewage and coal to gasoline as the clean, green solution to our energy needs. Derrrr...

You know, it's just a shame that so much ink has to be wasted on the trials and tribulations of a transient, low-energy-density resource like shale gas, when West Virginia University was just awarded. on May 28: "United States Patent 8,449,632 - Sewage Material in Coal Liquefaction", a technology wherein renewable wastes, like sewage plant sludge, and renewable agricultural products, like vegetable oil, can be converted along with Coal into a synthetic crude oil that woks just fine as a feed into a standard petroleum refinery. Coal is a vast resource, unlike shale gas; and, with stuff like sewage sludge and vegetable oil, it can be very nearly carbon-neutral and sustainable over the long haul.

I've been thinking a lot about data recently and the role it's going to play in our future. The title of this post comes from an interview in Google's new Think Quarterly website/book with Guy Laurence, CEO of Vodafone UK. Guy uses data + instinct to make decisions. It seems to work for him.
Personally, I'm fascinated with how data comes alive and provides real insight when it's visualized. Some people (notably our CEO) are famous for their ability to read a spreadsheet as if it were art and spot insights. My brain doesn't work that way hence the world of infographics fascinates me. Earlier this week, Manuel Lima, an interaction designer from Bing gave a fascinating talk about visualization. Folks like Manuel, Jer Thorp and David McCandless bring data to life with their work. Visualizations of the kind they work on are most powerful when they show a trend or connection that otherwise would be invisible in a traditional dataset presented in a spreadsheet.
Imagine for example trying to read a set of data about where New Yorkers moved in the last decade….and then visualize it. Jonathan Harris's work has always amazed me with the ability to tell a story through data. Check out wefeelfine.org to see how beautiful data can become. Sometimes infographics can become too dense to be useful…though at this point they often become art.
I stumbled across another fine example today with a visualization of tweets in London over a 24 hour period – shown below. Imagine that in a database or eyechart?
My point is that we're now creating data at such a phenomenal rate that we're not only going to be pushing the limits on storage, but we're going guys like Manuel, Jer, David and others are the going to be more in demand to help turn all of those numbers in to something of use. We're also starting to amass so much data that we can begin to use it to help computers learn – they can be taught to spot patterns far more adeptly than we can – see my previous blog on machine learning for why that's important for everything from search engines to credit card fraud and gaming.
Oh and crunching all of that data in to some sort of insight? That previously required a supercomputer which meant it was something only a few could afford to do. Now, you can get supercomputing on demand from cloud platforms like Windows Azure and Amazon's EC2. You can even play with data from others in the comfort of your own browser – try datamarket.com
So Guy is right – data on it's own is impotent but we now have the tools at our disposal to turn data very quickly in to insight and perhaps even intelligence.
Bonus video – see below for transport flow in London over a 24 hour period and in a stroke of pure coincidence, the NY Times posted a piece yesterday titled When the Data Struts Its Stuff

Search: beck and call
Why: At her bitchiest (she is always so mean to him because she thinks she's better than him - which she's not, BTW), Rachel tells Ross she wants him at her "constant beck and call."
Answer: According to Merriam-Webster:
A 'beck' is a silent signal, such as a nod of the head or a motion with the forefinger. The sense is apparent in the Earl of Worcester's Iulius Cesars Commentaryes (1470): 'It should be ready at a beck.' In summoning a servant one might have to resort to a 'call' as well as a 'beck' if the servant did not see the beck or failed to respond to it."Source: Phrases.org.uk

Twitch profiles for the official PlayStation, Xbox, and eSports League (ESL) channels were compromised or hacked by an unknown third-party yesterday, according to this Polygon report. That unknown person or persons altered highlights in all the channels with various messages – some of which were racist and homophobic.
Some of the messages took shots at Microsoft's Xbox One exclusivity deal for Rise of the Tomb Raider (like "Sorry guys but they rose the money bags," and "sorry bout tomb raider bb"), and others made fake game announcements for Fallout and Gears of War. But the worst, according to Polygon (who either did not share or have knowledge of the actual messages), contained racist and homophobic slurs.
A representative from Twitch told the publication that it suspects these accounts were compromised at Gamescom by someone who gained access to logged-in computers at the venue.
"We're deleting the offensive VODs as soon as we find them and are alerting individual teams at the venue," a Twitch rep said in an email.
The Xbox and PlayStation accounts seemed to have taken the biggest hit from this, with neither channel currently showing any archived videos.
"As a precautionary measure, we temporarily removed highlights and past broadcasts for those channels since it's in the early hours of the morning in Cologne," a Twitch representative tells Polygon.

6 Marine Planes Fly Into Hill
WASHINGTON. (IB ??Six marine jet pilots were killed in Korea last Thursday when they flew their planes into a storm-shrouded hillside, the marine-corps announced today.
The marines withheld news of the tragic mishap until next of kin were notified.
The six pilots, flying Panther jet planes, were-returning from a combat mission together and were approaching a strange field when they struck the hillside, the marine corps said.
The dead, all-members of the able Eagles squadron, were: Maj. Raymond E. Demers, 33, formerly of Genesee, Idaho; Maj. Donald F. Giyens, 29., Attleboro, Mass.; First Lieut. Alvin R. Bourgeois, 27, Detroit- Second-Lieut. .John W. Hill Jr., 25, Moncks Corner, S. C.; Second Lieut. Carl R. LaFleur, 23, Pooleville, N. Y., and Second Lieut. Richard Lee Roth,: 21, Lockridge, Iowa: .
Demers is survived by his daughter, Diana, 7, Arcata,. Calif.; his mother, Mrs. Eugene E. Brey, Pittsburgh, Pa.; his father, Del H. Demers, Kennewick, Wash., and a brother, Donald J. Demers, Selah, Wash. He was a veteran, of Pacific fighting in World War II.
Givens is survived by his wife, Vivian, Attleboro, Mass., and his mother, Mrs. Marion L. Givens, Attleboro. Givens served With the royal Canadian air force before joining the marines in World War II.
Bourgeois is survived by his wife, Ruth, Detroit, and his mother, Mrs. Marie Bourgeois, Ferndale, Mich. He won his wings in 1946 and in 1950 was a star athlete at Kalamazoo, Mich., college. He was ordered
to Korea last April.
Hill's wife, Betty, and parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hill Sr., live in Moncks Corner, S. C. Hill, an army veteran, joined the naval reserve and won his wings in July 1951.
LaFleur is survived by his father, John LaFleur of Pooleville, N. Y. The son won his wings July 1, 1951, and was awarded two air medals early this year for Korean combat.
Roth's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Roth, Lockridge, Iowa. He completed flight training last November 1 and was ordered to Korea last July.

The Packers 2 most effective DL this year were Pickett and Raji. Both are listed in excess of 335 lbs.
The balance of the 4 DL is listed at 294, 294, 304, and 300.
Is it any wonder that the Packers struggled on Run D at times? My understanding is that a 3-4 requires DL to be big walls of stone that consume blockers. Those are some pretty light (Hehe) bodies.
The Ravens DL is 349,364,313,330,315, and 295.
The 49ers are only 295, 301, 290, 285, 330, 305 though. So maybe my theory doesn't hold water. Or maybe the 49ers LB's are just so much better that it doesn't matter what their DL do.
So maybe Packers don't need DL talent upgrade as much as we need more all-you-can-eat-buffets!

I always have felt that the GB DL was a little small. But that said size is not everything or all NFL teams would play with 450 linemen.
To be really effective in the 3-4 you have to have guys who love to take on 2 blockers every play and not get much glory. There just are not a lot of Gilbert Browns out there these days. Everyone is worried about how many sacks they can get. How many tackles can they be a part of. That is one of the reasons they blew contain so many times against the Niners. There is no glory in staying out wide and watching some one else make the tackle.

They've got a bunch of 4-3 players, in a 3-4 scheme.
Nick Perry, Jerel Worthy, Mike Daniels, Mike Neal, CJ Williams.
Pretty much everyone except BJ and Pick. LOL

I think this is a good observation. One quick look at our games against SF and SEA early this year, and v. SD in preseason, and we looked like our defenders were in a different, smaller class. Especially so up on the line. We simply do not have a wrecking crew up there, where we need it. I guess we could add CHI and NYG in there too. Different class entirely.
We must add both size and speed in our front 7 this offseason. Especially on the DL. DE has been calling out as a position of need for two years now. Pickett is a DT/NT. I see adding depth at all 3 line positions an absolute must, with quality talent. Add a LB in there too.
I really do appreciate the improved play from AJ Hawk this year, but it looks like he is kind of maxed out in terms of potential, and that is not good. His speed is marginal, and his coverage is worse than that. He made a good number of tackles, but how many of those were stuffs at the line of scrimmage? 9 TFL. 3 sacks. 0 PD. 0 INT. 0 FF. Those numbers in TFL were comparable to those of the SF LBs, better than Patrick Willis' 7 TFL and Novorro Bowman's 6 TFL, and under Ahmad Brooks, who had 12, but his other numbers, namely in pass coverage, were severely lacking.
Willis had 9 pass deflections, 2 INT and 2 FFs.
Brooks had 6 pass deflections, 1 INT and 2 FFs.
Bowman had 6 pass deflections, 1 INT and 1 FF.
Those can all be big game changing plays. Aldon Smith added another INT and a pass deflection to go with an additional 3 FFs. He had 19.5 sacks.
Clay Matthews had 13 sacks, and 11 TFL, which is comparable to Ahmad Brooks. However, he also failed pretty big, like Hawk, in the turnover department, with just 1 FF and 0 INT and a whopping 2 PDs. Looking at this, I think it is pretty telling. That is two players we are really counting on, both R1 picks, and they just didn't create enough dynamic plays for our defense at LB. I'm not even going to look up Walden's or jones' stats there.
Clearly, we need more bigger, faster, more dynamic players at a number of front our 7 positions. I do think Worthy, Daniels and Perry were all promising picks. They may contribute more next season, but we need more, way more. Figure that a larger, more formidable group on our DL could improve our LB play and DB play. I only bring up the LB play to show we were light in the pants there as well. The entire front 7 needs more size and speed.

Pickett's 31 now isn't he?

2013 is quite possibly Pickett's last year. At a minimum, GB needs to draft a replacement for him.
Here is what I see as our DL next year
Raji- Above average NT, 5th year
Pickett- last year probably, 13th overall
Wilson- Nothing special, hasn't gotten bigger after several years so..., 4th year
Daniels- Nothing special as a rookie, needs to gain weight, 2nd year so maybe major step up in 2013?
Neal- Nothing special, hasn't gotten bigger after several years so... 4th year
Draft Pick- NT, I hope, need a big body
Worthy- PUP or IR all season, just my guess, but rather be pessimistic, than disappointed
Without looking at CAP issues or contracts, I could see either Neal or Wilson not coming back. Need to get bigger up front.

I've been sayin it forevers...
Cj Wilson, and Jarius Wynn are prime examples, they slap beer-guts on 4/3 players and call it good.
Also, we don't need fat men (Pickett) we need big athletic ends who can get push..
Just use an eyeball test on Watt or J.Smith, against any of our ends and you can see that something is amiss.
Not saying those types of players grow on trees, but it is something we don't have.

Pickett was and remains a very good player. Personally, I think he would be better in rotation with Raji at NT. If I were Ted, I'd look to upgrade his DT position and DE with both draft picks and FAs this offseason, moving him exclusively to NT. I'd add 4 DL, plan to do away with Wilson, and plan on keeping 7 to start the season. Rotate heavily. Pickett and Raji would be the only locks to make the team.
Neal, Wilson and Daniels would have to fight for spots. We need that kind of upgrade.

Two big NT's from smaller schools that played well in the Senior Bowl and will probably be drafted in the later rounds:
Montori Hughes, 6'4", 327 Tenn-Martin
Brandon Williams 6'1", 341 Missouri Southern
They graded out well against the best senior OL at the Senior Bowl so they must have some potential. If one's around in the 4th or 5th round...for a rotational NT that can eat up some space?

They've got a bunch of 4-3 players, in a 3-4 scheme.
Nick Perry, Jerel Worthy, Mike Daniels, Mike Neal, CJ Williams.
Pretty much everyone except BJ and Pick. LOL
Both of which would likely be as effective, if not more effective in a 4-3. Especially BJ Raji, who played such a position in college.

I already mentioned that price-matching can be a great time saver when you shopping year round for Operation Christmas Child. But, there's another way to take advantage of sales: pre-ordering!
If you know that a store is having a great deal on something you need, like soap, ask the manager to order in a large quantity for you. Kroger is pretty notorious for doing this for their customers, but other stores will do it as well. You just have to ask (nicely). If you plan on using numerous coupons along with the sale price, make sure it is okay with manager first. Lots of stores have limits on how many of the same type of coupon you can use per transaction. But, the manager may be willing to make an exception for you if you explain your cause. I think it's a great idea to mention that you want the items for Operation Christmas Child; it usually makes the managers more willing to work with you if they know you're not a hoarder. (Especially with the recent extreme couponing craze.)
One other thing to remember: you want to make sure your order will come in before the sale ends. If it won't, ask if the manager will still honor the sale price. It's definitely a bummer to order 100 bars of soap and then find out you are expected to pay full price because they arrived the day after the sale price ended!
Here's an example:
- Let's say Kroger has Ivory Soap for $1
- You want 100 bars, so you ask the manager to order it for you. You make sure the manager's okay with using 100 coupons in one transaction at the same time as you place the order.
- You also collect or order 100 Ivory Soap coupons
- Your soap arrives and you go pick it up at customer service. Bring your coupons and cash with you at this time!
3 Responses to Place Special Orders for Large Quantities
Christy says:
Does anyone have suggestions on websites to watch for placing orders for large quantities? I know Jessica has listed a site to order toothbrushes from and another to order pencil sharpeners. But does anyone have sites for items such as soap, washcloths, or toothpaste that they can share?
Kay says:
Christy, This is not a website; Big Lots in Southern California currently has a carton of one ounce Colgate toothpaste [for sensitive mouths], 24 for $5. Larger stores also have thick wash clothes 15 for $5 and mild Dial soap 3 for $1. [Highly scented soaps can cause a painful rash]. Call before driving to see if the store near you has these items. Big Lots has increased their prices and decreased quality for most things, but 21¢ is a good price for a small tube of Colgate toothpaste. We need to trade off fitting a large tube of toothpaste in our shoebox gifts, or packing more things with a small toothpaste tube. Dollar Tree had four toothbrushes for $1, in packaging that protects each toothbrush today. If you live where you need an online source, sorry my suggestions are not helpful. Happy shoebox filling to you and Jessica. Praying the children feel God's love through your gifts.
Tee says:
Washclothes, I watch for Targets sale or Kohl's clearance. Their washclothes are much thicker than Walmart or Dollar Tree. Don't know of any toothpaste or soap websites.

Restaurants will serve turkey too
Where to go out for Thankgiving, an award-winning pie, another Dining A La King trip, where to find local food gifts and other tidbits.
If you're still not sure where to go for Thanksgiving dinner, a few restaurants are willing to help.
In Elkhart County, here's who is serving turkey and stuffing Thursday:
Hunter's Place, 2703 S. Main St., Elkhart, will have a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to owner Fran Hunter.
Callahan's, 2917 Cassopolis St., Elkhart, and Lux Cafe, 2012 Lincolnway East, Goshen, will serve a Thanksgiving meal from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for $10.99, but it's free for children 10 and younger and adults 62 and older. Both restaurants will be open for breakfast on Thanksgiving, close at 2 p.m. and reopen Friday morning.
Christiana Creek Country Club, 116 W. Bristol St., Elkhart, has a public buffet from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.. The cost is $15.95 for adults, $7.95 for children 12 and younger, according to chef Brian Steinway. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling 264-3060, ext. 104.
Bob Evans restaurants will serve meals for $12.99, $3.99 for kids. Hours in Elkhart and Goshen will be 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to a press release.
Amish Acres, 1600 W. Market St., Nappanee, will have a buffet from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $18.95 for those 12 and older, $1.25 per year for children ages 4 to 11, free for those age 3 and younger. Reservations not taken.
Pizza Depot in downtown Millersburg will offer a free meal from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. It'll be available in the dining room or for delivery. Information: 642-4229.
A free community meal targeted at those in need and those who need a place to go on the holiday will be served at Matterhorn, 2041 Cassopolis St., Elkhart. It's a partnership between Matterhorn owner Kurt Janowsky and the Elkhart Salvation Army. The meal will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Readers have been asking if another Dining A La King food tour is in the works. The answer is yes. We've been putting some details together for another trip to California. The food and wine tour is likely to happen Feb. 6-10. It would be similar to last year's trip to Sonoma and Napa, but would explore new territory. As soon as we have some details finalized, I'll share how you can come along. Those could come as early as next week.
I know of some of the great local food gifts, but want to compile a list for the holidays. Do you buy Elkhart County wine, candy or other foods to share with family or friends? If so, let me know what your favorites are.
Nappanee's 600-pound apple pie won a state tourism award. The Indiana Office of Tourism and Development named it one of the winners in the Best of Indiana Fall 2013 contest, along with Notre Dame football game days.
Sauk Trail on 17 is making plans to open for lunch. The owners and staff are working on a concept of how to best serve food quickly and well, according to owner Ray Stults. The details, including the opening date, are still in the works, he said. The barbecue restaurant is at 56039 Parkway Ave., Elkhart.
The 50th annual Pancake Day to benefit the Goshen Salvation Army was a blast, as usual. Dozens of volunteers made the day happen. The sausage this year was links instead of patties, but that didn't make much difference. And yes, I did take my own maple syrup for the excellent pancakes.
John Scherk, a local farmer, will present a workshop at 4:15 p.m. Dec. 4 on building cold frames and extending the growing season. The event will be in the backyard of 1721 Prairie St., Elkhart. Reservations are required because participants will go home with a recycled window to build a cold frame. The event is sponsored by the Elkhart Local Food Alliance. Information or reservations: 374-9261
The Daily Meal compiled a report of the 50 best bakeries in America. It's not a surprise that none in Elkhart County made the list, but really not even any in Indiana or Michigan? Really? Zingerman's in Ann Arbor didn't even make the list. I'd put Rachel's Bread in Goshen and Rise & Roll Bakery in Shipshewana on the list. In case you're wondering, Tartine Bakery in San Francisco topped the list.

Google's data-crunching ways found that the majority of Gmail users aren't actually using the webmail service's labels. Starting today, those label names get higher placement, and drag-and-drop labelling aims to make Gmail's labels more like familiar email folders.
By placing users' own labels higher up on the left-hand sidebar, right below the main Inbox/Starred/Sent/Drafts destinations, Gmail admits that keeping them in their own box, stuck underneath the chat widget, implied they weren't that important before. Fixes like those contained in Gina's Better Gmail 2 Firefox extension and the "Go to label" keyboard shorcut in Gmail's Labs section helped, but now labels are easier to reach, and kept more at the front of your email-clearing mind.
Those higher-up labels are also a boon to frequent mouse users, as you can now click and drag an email message onto a label to "move" it into that label (kind of like a folder, no?), or drag the label onto the message to, uh, label it.
Google will officially announce these changes later today, and the functionality will be "rolling out gradually" to Gmail users.

INDOOR TRACK: District 2 athletes seek state medals today
High school track and field standouts from District 2 are ready to challenge for medals in the final indoor meet of the season.
Distance runners will be the featured competitors as four are among the qualifiers for the Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association Indoor State Championships that will be held today at the Penn State University Multisport Facility.
Abington Heights junior Tessa Barrett will lead a stable of runners in the 3,000-meter run. Her time of 10 minutes, 2.69 seconds that she ran to win at the Susquehanna University Invitational is listed as the fastest in the state this season on the PTFCA website.
"I am really excited," Barrett said. "It's my first indoor state meet. I know there are going to be some very good competitors in the race. I have a couple of goals, but really it's all about who goes out and has the best run.
"It's going to be a fun race."
Also competing in the 3,000 from District 2 will be Dallas' Regan Rome, who is ranked seventh in the state with a time of 10:19.12, and Holy Redeemer's Cassandra Gill.
Holy Redeemer's Rachel Sowinski will compete in the girls mile.
Abington Heights will also have its distance medley team of Barrett, Missy Burke, Jenn Burke and Taylor Ross in the meet. That group met the state-qualifying standard with a time of 12:56.28, which is ranked 20th this season.
Pittston Area has a pair of qualifiers who will compete.
Ronnie D'Eliseo qualified in the 60-meter hurdles and Taylor Powers qualified in the girls 60-meter dash.
"I can't wait," D'Eliseo said. "It's my first year making states indoors. Right now, may main goal is to get into the best shape possible for outdoor season, but this has been a great experience so far. It's been very competitive."

text: This race is always fun, but this year was the best since I started doing it in 2008: fantastic organization (thanks Vigo), great weather with dry roads (thanks Heather), a superb MMTC tent (thanks Marla and others), and tremendous support and encouragement by MMTC members (thanks everyone). Am I glad the world didn't end on Saturday! (Thanks God). I trained through this race, scheduling a cut-back week instead of a taper, mainly because I'm behind in my Ironman training due to an injury in January. Columbia Tri this year was a primarily a fitness test to identify the training soft spots and to test my recovery. The result? Progress, but there's serious work to be done before Lake Placid. I dropped about two minutes from my 2009 and 2010 times, and made the podium, but I missed all three of my split goals. I learn at least one thing every race. This time, I learned a few things. First, I learned not to delay getting my bike in for a pre-season tune. I was planning to get it in after Columbia and before Eagleman. On Friday, I noticed it wasn't always shifting back from the small chain ring to the big ring. Saturday, before we left for Columbia, Tom Kish, my expert of choice, showed me why: the front derailleur bracket was pulling out from the frame. Off to the bike shop, but they didn't have the part (a rivnut) needed to anchor the bracket to the frame. Solution: take off the front derailleur and ride only in the big ring. No worries, I thought, this isn't the Catoctins. Little did I know that the front derailleur served a dual purpose. I'd learn about that second purpose about 5 miles into the bike leg during the race. I arrived at Centennial at 4:40 a.m. on race day. I hate waiting in traffic. Early arrival guarantees no wait, convenient parking, and an opportunity to sleep a little once I arrive and prepare transition with no time pressure. There were fewer port-a-potties at transition this year and the lines got very long, very fast. Solution: walk 5 minutes to the swim start; there were no lines there. Then back to transition to set up. Swim: 26:07 (AG 20/120) For a non-mass start swim, I found the start to be fairly violent. I took a kick to the face and an elbow to the nose, but the goggles stayed on. Some guy crawled up my back and some other guy thought I was in his water, giving me a "friendly shove." Things spread out after the first turn and I even found a good draft for a short while. The swim went OK overall, but my goal was to be at 26 min or under. I just missed, but had a 90 second improvement over the past two years. (Thanks to advice from Missie and Steve Levickas, and coaching from Karen Smyers and Clay Britt). I wasn't too unhappy missing the goal by only a few seconds. Among my stroke defects is a lousy pull. So this year I've been working on pointing my fingers to the bottom after the catch and keeping the elbows high. I'm trying to "reach over the barrel" rather than push the water down. I'm making progress, but I still end up chasing too many guys out of the water. Bike: 1:10:20 (21.7 avg, AG 5/120) (split based on my Garmin – I apparently had chip failure). It was great to have fast, dry roads and I found our fellow triathletes to be polite and rule-conscious (unlike the 70.3 championships in Clearwater). Traffic, however, was a pain: I was caught behind several cars, twice during those precious downhills. The real pain came when my chain slipped off the big ring WHILE I WAS COASTING DOWNHILL. I had downshifted to smallest ring on my 11:23 rear cog where apparently the chain tension from the rear derailleur is at its minimum. When I hit a bump, the chain on the big ring (with no front derailleur to contain it) went flying. The front derailleur, I later confirmed, also helps keep the chain in place. For a fraction of a second while coasting downhill I considered trying to put it on, but listened to my better judgment for a change. A lost minute beats a crash any day. The backside of this bike course, Triadelphia to Greenbridge, is super fast and I made good time until Linthicum's downhill when the chain flew off again. After that I didn't downshift for max power and I babied the chain and gears home without incident. I missed my sub-1:10 goal but learned a bit about the risks of going sans front derailleur. It's possible, but not without unnecessary excitement and delay. Steve Levickas later told me about a similar experience he had. My bike hydration consisted of about 20 oz of accelerade and nutrition from shots of accelgel every 10-15 min from a flask mounted on the bike. Run: 41:44 (6:44 avg, AG 1/120) (Garmin-based time again). I love the run. I know it will hurt, but I also know that whether or not I podium usually turns on the run. This course is hard but fair. Like pain, the hills are your friend though, because the competition WILL slow down so you can catch them. Accept the pain, conquer the run demons, and count on the fact that most of the people we're chasing are losing the mental battle. I'm convinced that the run is 90 percent mental.What truly helped the demon-wrestling this year were all the MMTC jerseys and the shout-outs from everywhere! Thanks Mike Matney for the good words before mile 3 and after mile 5. I saw a strong Sadj after mile 3, clearly winning the mental battle. My goal pace was sub 6:30. I didn't make it, but it was more a hope than an expectation this year. I had missed my coach's splits in a run time trial the previous week. The back pain from my injury is gone, but my running fitness is not yet completely back from the February layoff. I'm getting closer though. I was able to catch 4-5 guys in the age group, including last year's 50-54 AG winner at about mile 5, and squeeze onto the podium in 4th. The AG winner, Tom McGee from Ottawa, kicked all of our butts with a 2:11. (Wade, he's aging up next year. See if Kevin Perkins can have him held at the border.) The race was a blast but by far best part of Sunday was seeing all the MMTC'ers out there and catching up post-race with old friends and meeting new ones. This Club is awesome. The race reports and results show not only how fast some people are (like Steves Levickas and Meininger, Ben and Suzie), but also how courageous and tenacious we are (confronting our personal demons on the swim, bike and run and/or overcoming injury). Thanks to all for making this Club what it is.And, final lesson of the race? Thanks to that engineer Rick Schofield for teaching me about eliminating drag with a simple razor.

These are super easy to grow, great if you're just starting a garden and don't have much experience. They sprout quickly, and they grow quickly in warmer weather(but much slower when its chilly. It's dropped to 50s and 60s at night and they're growing much more slowly than the summer harvest. You have to keep an eye on them until they get a little more established, and make sure that every weed gets pulled, but once they take hold they pretty much hold their own as long as you water them regularly.

What are the pros? Huge full flavor, easy to grow
What are the cons? NONE-AMAZING
First year doing a rare seeds garden in zone 9a. WOW, these were a no brainer. Plant water ignore. Left them much later then I was supposed to out of gardening novice ignorance. Planted by seed in late February, ( very hot here ) and harvested in July, August, but these were MASSIVE size and FULL of flavor. Wished I had planted more of them, these were awesome!
36 out of 37 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros?
What are the cons?
Planted them in a large container indoors back in March. Moved them to a raised bed around the end of April here in Northern Illinois. They struggled a bit and didn't seem to do much. The incredible heat and drought gave me scallions that looked like chives. I figured they were lost and wrote them off. Then, after total neglect, they came back around the end of August. They grew into tall (18-12 inches) strong, beautiful looking scallions. They tasted great too. Definitely a survivor and worth planting again.

Marines depart Sangin, leaving Afghans in charge
Hand-off in northern Helmand comes as NATO combat mission wanes
SANGIN, Afghanistan The last U.S. Marines withdrew from northern Helmand early Monday morning, turning their two remaining bases in the hard-fought Sangin district over to Afghan national security forces.
The pullout from this Taliban stronghold in a poppy-growing crossroads region of southwestern Afghanistan was an historic moment for the international coalition, one that ended an era dominated in earlier years by heavy combat and unsparing casualties for British and American troops.
It also was a milestone for Afghan personnel deployed in the violent northern arc of the Helmand river valley, where their fledgling military, police and intelligence units must fight on against insurgents and criminal kingpins without coalition advisors at their side.
Maj. Gen. Sayed Malouk, commanding general of the 215th Afghan National Army Corps, toured several bases in Sangin and Gereshk on the eve of the Marine withdrawal.
When the Taliban government fell in 2001, Afghanistan had no national army, he reminded soldiers sent to Patrol Base Ouellette to clear enemy forces from the area ahead of the Marine withdrawal.
Today the 215th Corps established in Helmand in 2010 is four brigades-strong. It has been running security operations throughout the province with little assistance from the dwindling international coalition since June.
"It is a proud moment for us that we are here able to defend ourselves and our country, and that today we are providing security. In the past they were saying this place would fall into the enemy's hands, and as you see nothing like that is happening," Malouk told Afghan National Civil Order Police, a gendarme unit stationed at the base, according to a translator.
"And nothing is going to happen in the future, either," he said.
A wartime peak of more than 21,000 Marines were deployed in southwestern Afghanistan after the 2010 surge. About 4,500 U.S. Marines remain in Helmand, along with about 2,500 British troops, 800 Georgians, 250 Danes, 200 Estonians and a contingent of Jordanians.
In addition to the massive Camp Leatherneck-Bastion-Shorabak base complex, two U.S. bases and one British base remain in Helmand after the Sangin withdrawal. The constellation of more than 200 that once stretched from Kajaki to Khan Neshin began to be dismantled or turned over to Afghan troops two years ago.
International forces will continue for now to provide critical support such as medical evacuation and surveillance from their headquarters in central Helmand. After the NATO campaign ends late this year and the last foreign combat troops withdraw from Afghanistan, less than 10,000 U.S. military advisors and counterterrorism strike forces, if any, are expected to remain, likely based near the capital of Kabul.
Seven months ago when a Marine security assistance advisory team started working with 2nd Brigade soldiers in Sangin, the impending Marine withdrawal inspired jitters.
"When we got here they were kind of 'woe is me.' Now they talk about winning," said Col. Christopher Douglas, officer in charge of the team.
Afghan troops were buoyed by their success securing polling centers during the presidential election April 5. In Sangin, more than 5,000 voted, up from less than 200 in 2009.
U.S. commanders expect insurgents to hit hard in Sangin this summer fighting season, but Brig. Gen. Zamarai Khan Tarz -- the charismatic new brigade commander who replaced a less aggressive Sangin native sacked last summer -- vowed to push deeper into enemy territory.
"The enemy knows they are not being seen by the (coalition surveillance) balloons. But they are afraid of our weapons," he boasted during a battle rehearsal for the Marine withdrawal operation.
Three soldiers from his brigade dropped their gear and deserted shortly before the Marines left Sangin. But few Afghan troops remaining in uniform would admit to doubts about their prospects against the insurgency.

In 2013, 90% of office workers came to work sick, according to a survey conducted by Staples.
Whose responsibility is it to keep workers healthy this flu season? The survey shows that facility managers are split – 43% believe they are responsible for the health of building occupants, while 40% say it's up to the workers themselves. When asked how to best prevent occupant illness, FMs identified preventive measures including washing hands and cleaning desks regularly. Despite this, less than 50% of FMs ensured that critical supplies were ordered to help prevent the spread of germs in the office, such as cleaning and disinfecting chemicals.
The survey also found that while 76% of workers correctly identified the break room as the dirtiest place in the office, only 7% of FMs knew that was the case.
FMs can work with business heads to decrease the spread of illness. Staples recommends these easy steps to help maintain a healthier work environment:

Remains of King Richard III Found Buried Beneath a Parking Lot
Scientists in England made a stunning find when the 500-year-old royal remains of King Richard III were discovered underneath a parking lot!
The skeleton was said to have a number of unusual features, including a slender build, scoliosis and battle-related trauma. These characteristics, which were all consistent with the information historians have about Richard III's life and death, helped make a positive identification.
The monarch will now be interred in the city of Leicester's cathedral.

Rebecca Griego was ecstatic last week when she found out the student team she'd mentored through a real-estate design competition had edged out other competitors from around the region.
But Monday morning a former boyfriend who colleagues say had been stalking her for months walked into her University of Washington office and fatally shot her.
"She's a huge loss. She was every man's daughter. She was loyal and dedicated, and believed with a passion in her work," said her boss, Jim DeLisle, the Runstad Professor of Real Estate, Urban Planning and Design at the UW. "She helped further the education of the people who want to make this place a better world."
Griego, originally from Colorado, graduated from the UW with a bachelor's degree in economics in 2004. She stayed on campus in her professional life, playing an instrumental role in helping launch a real-estate program, according to DeLisle.

Co-workers described Griego as someone who loved animals and who was dedicated to her own dogs. Tall and slender, she stayed healthy and worked out often. She'd recently developed an interest in rock climbing.
"She was a great, very well-rounded person," said Lance Nguyen, a UW graduate student who worked under Griego. "She's loyal, shy sometimes, and fun to be around."
Nguyen said Griego had given him a lift downtown Thursday and was buzzing about her team winning the real-estate challenge against teams from Washington State University, the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, and Portland State University.
Sponsored by the state chapter of the National Association of Industrial & Office Properties, the competition challenged students to come up with a hypothetical redesign of the King County Administrative Building in downtown Seattle.
"They did a great job, they really did," said Jack Rader, president of the state chapter. "The effort these young men and women put into this is incredible."
But while Griego was excelling in her work, she was also trying to cope with the threat posed by her ex-boyfriend, Jonathan Rowan.
She spent a month working from home this year to keep away from him, changed addresses and phone numbers and stopped answering her work phone in case it was him. Co-workers said they were ready to serve the man with court papers should he show up.
"She was scared," Nguyen said. "She did everything she could, but she was still so vulnerable."
Office research assistant Jad DeLisle, the son of Jim DeLisle, said he made sure to visit the office through spring break, the week of March 19, so Griego wouldn't be left by herself. But co-workers felt she would be safer after spring break with so many students around, he added.
"Rebecca was pretty much the key to holding the whole real-estate center together," said Jad DeLisle. "I'm just kind of in shock."

The 6th-annual Dixie Thunder Run began the day on Saturday with bikers from all over the U.S. arriving at Chunky River Harley Davidson.
Bikers were there to support wounded soldiers and their families. The proceeds will go to First Response, a military relief organization that covers all five branches of the military.
"Down here riding my harley at Chunky River, groups are coming thru and supporting the troops overseas and the families," local servicemen David Kimbrel said.
The festivities continued on Saturday evening with a concert at the Lauderdale County Ag Center. There were performances by Darryl Worley and Blackjack Billy. Worley said he just wanted to do whatever he could to help the soldiers.

"The economic situation in this country demands that more jobs should be created for the young and talented and well educated... the ministry will bring in lot of hope to improve economic and commercial ties with our (trade) partners, improve on exports," she said.
Sitharaman said the Ministry is looking at various sectors where jobs can be created as the "Prime Minister has requested for appraisal status and situation which is prevailing to see where the immediate deliverable and doable areas, to be worked out".
The ministry will play an important role in strengthening relations with all the countries and "Pakistan is certainly one of them", she added.
When asked whether her plate is full as she is also the Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs, she said: "If there is efficiency ... by bringing departments together, by bringing activities together that is beneficial for the country, it is not that plate is full or less. It is (about) more efficiency for the shake of delivery".
On a question about exports of minerals, she said the ministry would look at "greater details" as "every export is not bad".
She met Commerce and DIPP secretaries, who apprised her of their respective departments.
"There are lots of things happening in this department which should be taken forward with greater enthusiasm given the impetus with which Prime Minister Narendra Modi would like the department to function".

Listing files in a JAR??
David Kromek
Posts: 2
posted 11 years ago
I have a couple of queries:
I have an executable .jar file that contains a single directory called "App". This directory contains the entire application including a number of subdirectories, one of which is called "images". I want to obtain a list of all the files contained in "images", but I'm not quite sure how to do this. I'm aware that ClassLoader.getSystemResource("App/images/" + filename) will return an URL to any particular file in the jar. But I've tried using ClassLoader.getSystemResources() (which is supposed to return an enumeration) without success. I've tried ClassLoader.getSystemResources("App/images/*") but this doesn't return anything. What am I doing wrong?
Also, my
program loads about 250 jpeg files as ImageIcons. The total amount of memory these files occupy is just under 2.5 MB. But I find that I need to set the java executor's heap memory to about 60 MB (using the switch -Xmx60MB) in order to load these files without getting a number of out of memory exceptions. Why do I need to do this? Why is java so resource hungry?

I tried solving your problem of getting the names of all the files in a
certain directory in a jar file by using the java.util.jar package.
The solutions is not very elegant. The program opens the jar file, checks if the given directory really exists and really is a directory and then does a
comparision to see which entries are located in the given directory.
Hope it will guide you towards solving your problem.
import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Enumeration; import java.util.jar.JarEntry; import java.util.jar.JarFile; public class Jar { public static void main(String[] args) { if (args.length < 2) { System.out.println("Please provide filename and name of directory."); System.out.println("Usage: java Jar zipFile dirName/"); System.exit(1); } try { JarFile jf = new JarFile(args[0]); JarEntry je = jf.getJarEntry(args[1]); if (je == null || !je.isDirectory()) { System.out.println("[" + args[1] + "] is not a directory in the jar file."); System.exit(1); } for (Enumeration enum = jf.entries(); enum.hasMoreElements() ; ) { JarEntry j = (JarEntry) enum.nextElement(); if (j.getName().startsWith(je.getName()) && ! j.getName().equals(je.getName())) { System.out.println(j.getName()); } } } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }

Lay the working week aside
Put that funky dress on

'Cause you know my weak spot
Close your eyes, you'll feel alright
DJ, you can make my night
We will stay out 'til late
It is a smooth escape
We will think life is great
within the smooth escape
We will talk with our friends
We will flirt and romance
And who cares if it's fake
It's just a smooth escape
I just want to move my hips
Get in on a funky trip
DJ, you dictate the groove
And I've got to follow it

Long Beach, Calif - The Cardinal closed its fall season with a strong fifth place finish against a stacked 28-team fleet. College sailing teams came from around the country to compete in the 2008 Rose Bowl Regatta hosted out of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club by the USC Sailing Team. In a rare opportunity to go up against many of the best teams from the competitive districts on the east coast in a relative home regatta in the Pacific Coast district, the Cardinal sailed well. Expecting strong winds and rain, the sailors were prepared for anything, but were met with light to moderate winds of 5 to 12 knots and only very light showers at the end of the day on Sunday.
In A division seniors Eddie Conrad and Carrie Denning posted many strong finishes to end the regatta in eighth place in their division. B division, sailed by freshman Cole Hatton and junior Kelly McKenna, found major success in Cole's home waters of Southern California. With consistent finishes on Saturday and ending the regatta with stellar finishes of 1-1-2-1-2, Cole and Kelly finished second in B division only one point behind first place St. Mary's. Overall, Stanford ended the regatta in a respectable fifth, behind St. Mary's, Boston College, College of Charleston, and Georgetown, once again beating out all the Pacific Coast competition.
Spring competition will begin for the Stanford team in mid-February. Until then, the sailors will enjoy a much-needed break as they get situated on the Farm again for the beginning of the winter quarter.

Just out earlier this week: the YouTube video for Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews' single, "Fire and Brimstone", from his latest album Say That to Say This, co-produced by Andrews and the impresario of Old School R&B, Raphael Saadiq.
In fact, Saadiq doesn't just co-produce; according to tromboneshorty.com, "he becomes a member of the band, playing a variety of instruments and contributing backing vocals; he also had a hand in writing three songs. Says Andrews of Saadiq: 'He's a great producer, but he's also a musician, so he was able to get in there, jam with us and take us to some different places. And we were able to take him to some different places too'."
About "Fire and Brimstone" Andrews notes, "The beat I was hearing was an old-school hip-hop thing. I can't remember what we were listening to when we came up with the idea, it might've been something by Dr. Dre, Easy E or Run-D.M.C., but when I heard it, I said, 'Joey, let's do a beat like that underneath the track so I can do some intricate things on top.' That's what we did, and it came out with this swampy, voodoo feel."

Kennedy's streak continues to spike
1 2 Next page >
Kennedy continues to roll on the boys' volleyball court, barely experiencing even hiccups on the way to a 14-0 mark (13-0 in Conference III) entering the last week of the regular season. In fact, the Cougars sweep of Jericho on Oct. 17 (25-9, 25-7, 25-15) was its 37th consecutive match victory overall dating back to 2011 and the seventh in a row without so much as a defeat in a single set.
Kennedy has won four of the last five Nassau County championships, as well as last season's New York State Division title—the first ever for any Long-Island based program.
"The guys have passed on the traditions and their passion for the game," coach Dennis Ringel said of how the program's run of success continues to grow. "My first goal is to pass on my love of the sport, and our players are passing their love of the game on to one and other. People get the bug for this game."
Senior Gary Anderson piled up 17 assists and 11 kills in the most recent win and has built up quite a storied resume as a member of the program. Already a two-time All-County honoree, Anderson also took home the New York State Division II postseason Most Valuable Player award during the run to the state title. "His biggest strength is his ability to make every other player on the court better," Ringel said of his top setter. "He's also a phenomenal hitter and leads the team in blocks."
The biggest scare to the Cougars lengthy winning streak came in a battle with Lindenhurst on Sept. 26. After losing the first two sets, Kennedy stormed back behind Anderson's lead and has not lost a single set since. He finished with 20 kills, 30 assists and five blocks in the non-conference thriller. Setting alongside Anderson in the team's 6-2 alignment is senior Andrew Sheehan, and he's also greatly improved his hitting.
"Not only is he setting well, he's hitting well," Ringel said. "He's a great example of a kid dedicating himself out of season and has turned the corner."
