"Dancing With the Stars" sure likes to keep us on our twinkle toes. In this sixth week of competition, the producers decided to throw a couple of bedazzled wrenches into the usually well-oiled ballroom glitterverse.
First, they added an improvised Chubby Checker twist to the usual dance marathon, forcing two groups of couples to compete side-by-side to songs they hadn't heard before. Then they announced that Week 6 was the season's halfway point, not Week 5.
Finally, because of a phone voting error, the producers decided that no couples would be eliminated this week! It was almost like an Oprah Winfrey show of ruby riches: You're safe! And you're safe! And you're safe! What's next? Dances in water? With lightsabers, like in the stellar swing and jive opening number choreographed by Lacey and Benji Schwimmer? Or set to reconfigured Broadway musical songs, like Mika and Ariana Grande's take on "Popular" from "Wicked"? Does this mean two couples will be eliminated next week?

Enough of this mucking about. Let's do as the host with the most Tom Bergeron said, and "get some of these obsessive compulsive scores."
At the top of the leader board and life itself were Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Valentin Chmerkovskiy. Not only did they score the season's first perfect 30 score, but Elizabeth used her sexy wiles and newfound dance confidence to cast the stink and specter of "Showgirls" away. And with the sexy cha-cha, Elizabeth felt "like some sort of sentence was lifted" after the creative stumble that came with playing Nomi Malone. And she owned the strong, sensual figure in her "Showgirls"-themed cha-cha, set to Joss Stone's infectious "Put Your Hands on Me." Jennifer Beals loved it. The judges thought it was perfectly played. "Give me ice right now – it was so clean, so sharp, well placed," Bruno crowed. "It was brilliant." "Tonight you were like a white panther – you have so much confidence," Carrie Ann said. "The more I see, the more I liked," Len concurred. Elizabeth and Val were the second couple eliminated in their stacked group's switch-up challenge, earning them two extra points. Total: 32 out of 35.
Len's seriously got a snake in his English riding boot, and it seems he's really taking Amber Riley and Derek Hough to task for it. After the head judge punished them with a season-low 7 last week, Derek resolved to make his and Amber's samba technically correct. Samba rolls. Samba walks. Voltas. Everything was textbook, and was done at a breakneck pace with flair. Amber nearly shook her gold fringe skirt right off. Bruno gasped that Amber's magic was "unleashed to devastating effect … you did everything!" Carrie Ann said the word that came to mind was "fierce." "You nailed every move," she said gleefully. "It's like a turn-on!" But self-proclaimed "party pooper" and professional poo-pooher Len found the whole thing "a tad repetitive" and then slapped them with a criminally low 8 paddle. One can only think Len is playing the bad cop card to mobilize her fan base and get Amber to the finals. She and Derek were clearly on top of the choreography and transitions in the switch-up challenge and handily won their group's round. Amber and Derek received a 28 for their samba, and four extra points for acing the challenge. Total: 32.

Peta Murgatroyd was really intent on making sure everything she and Brant Daugherty could control about their tango was perfect. And wow, did the "Pretty Little Liars" actor (who got a visit and a Twitter shout-out from "PLL" co-star Janel Parrish this week) cut a fine figure during his tango. Len likened the dance to "a glass of dry white wine: sharp, crisp, tasty, no gimmicks, none of this messing about." Bruno loved Brant's aggression, but pointed out "a couple of stumbles … otherwise, performance-wise, it was your best." Carrie Ann said Brant's technique was "incredible" but "the energy took you a little off the music," she said. "It was like a beautiful dancing Ken doll … with a little stumble." Brant still got a 10 from Len ("I can't help me self," the British head judge said), and a 28 total for their tango. They also got an impressive second-place finish in the switch-up challenge (way to shimmy those shoulders, Brant!), bumping three more points to their bottom line. Total: 31.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Sasha Farber were having a hard time seeing eye to eye this week. Sasha wanted Nicole to get into character for their fox trot by thinking classy goddess, like Ginger Rogers (or Nicole Kidman in "Stepford Wives"?), but Nicole could only speak in Beverly Hills Housewife or Marilyn Monroe. But whatever Sasha was trying to convey came through, as their Monday in the Park with Yellow Buttercups routine was a light, sweet, crowd-pleasing romp. "My little buttercup," Len said. "What's not to like?" "My sweet baby, you've graduated from charm school," Bruno said. "You've never been so sweet and never been so elegant." Nicole "really truly improved the most," Carrie Ann affirmed. "Everything is so graceful" – though the judge cautioned her to "watch the claw on the shoulder." Nicole and Sasha scored three 9s for the dance, which brought the Snooki back out as she pumped her fake flower up and down with unpolished glee. They also earned an extra three points and second place in the switch-up challenge. Total: 30.
Leah Remini has had a tough go of it, suffering at the judges' less-than-exuberant comments after last week's high-concept, not-so-highly executed contemporary routine. "Don't you dare cry," Tony Dovolani fiercely cautioned his partner after they received their scores. "I was hoping I'd be better than I actually am," Leah said sadly. And it took a visit from pal Jennifer Lopez (and boyfriend Casper Smart) to get Leah back to her old self and to remind her that dancing was supposed to be fun. And the fun showed in their dapper quickstep. "That might be the biggest turnaround I've ever seen," Carrie Ann said. Len cautioned future couples to keep their quicksteps in hold, but called Leah's journey from last week to this week like "Chutes and Ladders. Last week you shot down, this week, way up!" he said. "Your best dance!" Bruno called Leah "Ms. Goody Two Shoes. … Turning into a little Ginger Rogers out here." Leah and Tony received three 9s for their routine, but were the first couple eliminated in their challenge round, adding just one point to their night's tally. Total: 28.

Loved Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke's rapport this week. They've been tasked with the paso doble, and Jack has never been very good with Latin dances. So the younger Osbourne sat across from his partner, determination on his face. "This is it," he said. "This is where I'm taking Latin back." "Pound it," Cheryl responded, fist out. Jack tried his darndest to channel "angry Robert De Niro" in his performance — even enlisting the help of snarl captain Val via a "Talking Val Poster" for pointers. Though not even the pyrotechnics on stage could help Jack's lukewarm performance. "You had the intensity but it felt one-dimensional to me," Carrie Ann said. Bruno also thought "you were chasing the music … you have to watch your Spanish line: Crotch forward." Len, however, thought it was "top-notch … full of intent and purpose," and awarded it a 9, for a paso total of 25. Jack tried to break out the splits for his switch-up challenge, but it only got him and Cheryl two extra points. Total: 27.
Corbin Bleu got as excited as Joffrey at a beheading when he found out his Viennese waltz was going to be set to the "Game of Thrones" theme. Corbin is a major "Game of Thrones" fan, and getting this theme was the equivalent of being gifted three dragon eggs. He loved that as he was learning about the Viennese waltz, that his Khaleesi, Karina Smirnoff, was getting schooled on Westeros and Essos. But not even the Khal Drogo guyliner and armor of abs could protect him from the tongue-lashing he got from the judges after his routine. Bruno usually liked Corbin's lines but "you were playing it like Conan the Barbarian," the judge said. "Somehow it lost the flow … I was expecting that immaculate finish." Len loved the lyrical movement, but because he called Amber and Derek out for not having enough content in hold, he felt he had to do the same thing here. "I didn't really feel it was a Viennese waltz," he said. Carrie Ann thought the passion worked, even though "there were a few lifts in there." ("I'm glad you didn't go with the Red Wedding tango," Tom said in the best line of the night.) Winter came early for Corbin and Karina, who ended up a lowly 23 for their waltz. Tom offered the wannabe Dothraki the prop throne as consolation: "We've got no use for it." A better consolation in the glitterverse was winning the first group's switch-up challenge, in which Corbin and Karina were able to add four points to their tally. Total: 27.
"Get ready for a redneck tango," Bill Engvall announced, after being faced with the tall order of having to tango to Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger in Paradise." Or, as English partner Emma Slater called it, "Beefburger in Paradise" by Jimmy "Buffay." Comedian Bill does not do salads, so it was great that he was able to fit all that tango content in. And Bill's Burger Hut was a tasty treat, with Bill in an tomato-like vacation shirt and Emma his tropical condiment. "A beefburger 'buffay'!" Tom exclaimed. Len called it a "cheeseburger tango with plenty of mustard and pickle." Bruno thought there was "plenty of beef on top, but it went a bit cheesy on the bottom." Carrie Ann enjoyed the "strangely odd combination of humor and passion" but "You were taking too big steps." Bill and Emma received a 23 for their tango, and was also the first couple booted from their switch-up challenge round. This, despite Bill's concerted effort to keep things moving and expose his beefburger chest for all to see. Total: 24.
What do you think, ballroom fans? Glad all the couples got to live another week? What'd you think of the switch-up challenge? Which is the better consolation prize: The "Game of Thrones" prop throne, or the Talking Val Poster?

Patra, Greece – An angry God fired two warning shots at a suburb of Patra, Greece, the Southeastern European nation's third largest urban center.
There is no consensus as to why God decided to direct his ire on Greece's "Gateway to the West," or what His actual grievance is, but theologists are working around the clock to solve the mystery.
"Attacks from the Heavens usually come in the form of raining frogs, burning bushes, locusts… that sort of thing." Miraculously, nobody was hurt with the heavenly missiles, as most of the citizens were on the other side of town watching a soccer match.

Season Premiere Thursday, January 31st at 10pm ET/PT
NEW YORK -- December 18, 2013 - Superstar chef Anne Burrell hits the pavement to help prominent restaurants around the country find their most valuable employee - the Executive Chef. In season two of Food Network's Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell premiering Thursday, January 31st at 10pm ET/PT Chef Anne puts four top-level candidates through the ultimate job interview as she tests their culinary chops and business savvy in kitchen challenges that run the gamut. From testing their resourcefulness by creating a delicious dish using only four ingredients, to assessing their ability to pair their own dishes with a signature beer from the restaurant's menu, these chefs are in for the challenge of their lives. For the final two chefs it all boils down to one night of service when they are handed the keys to the restaurant and, potentially, the job of their dreams.
"Anne's culinary savvy and tough love come together to put these aspiring Executive Chefs through the toughest job interview they'll ever face," said Bob Tuschman, General Manager and Senior Vice President Programming, Food Network. "She brings out the best in these chefs, and viewers can't help but root for their success."
Over the thirteen-episode season, determined chefs from across the country are put through unpredictable culinary challenges. Whether it's a test of their Italian scratch cooking skills and their knowledge of the regional cuisine at the immense Tuscan Kitchen in New Hampshire; assessing their ability to work with the scraps of high-end ingredients while creating a whole new menu for Mirabelle Restaurant in Los Angeles; or challenging their creativity by preparing a gourmet version of a traditional Puerto Rican dish for Oceano's menu in Puerto Rico, each chef will devote blood, sweat and tears to prove to Anne that they are qualified to be Executive Chef.
Anne Burrell has always stood out in the restaurant business for her remarkable culinary talent, bold and creative dishes, and her trademark spiky blond hair. After training at New York's Culinary Institute of America and Italy's Culinary Institute for Foreigners, she gained hands-on experience at notable New York restaurants including Felidia, Savoy, Lumi, and Italian Wine Merchants. Anne has also battled on Food Network's Iron Chef America as Mario Batali's energetic and reliable sous chef. Additionally, Anne taught for three years at New York's Institute of Culinary Education. She served as Executive Chef at New York hot-spot Centro Vinoteca from its opening in July 2007 through September 2008. She stars in Secrets of a Restaurant Chef and Worst Cooks in America on Food Network. Anne's bestselling cookbook "Cook Like A Rock Star" (Clarkson Potter) was released in October, 2011.
Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell is produced by Smart Dog Films and Mannahatta Productions.

The Issue: What the future holds for the Republican Party, and if it can continue on the same path.
Some say conservatives should move to the left if we want to win elections ("Don't Write Off the Right Quite Yet," Jonah Goldberg, PostOpinion, Nov. 14).
That is not an option. I would rather see the GOP lose every election than become "light Democrats." Some of us feel that we will have to answer to a higher power, so we will not embrace things like abortion or socialized medicine.
The liberal media and our educational system have done a great job making half of our citizens believe that America is the problem. It will take a crash to make them understand.
Michael A. Pacer
Paso Robles, Calif.
After centuries of tyranny in Europe and England's domination of the original 13 colonies, a handful of brilliant minds set out to create a nation of people who would no longer bend to corruption, taxation without representation and central governance.
The Constitution was written to ensure these atrocities would not reign in this new nation, and definitively set a standard of duty, ethics and honor. Anyone who thinks conservatism is dead needs to read the Constitution's provisions on limited federal powers.T. Miraldi
The Bronx
A Republican president may be a thing of the past. Our leader has fundamentally transformed America, as promised, and has accomplished the alienation, exploitation and division required for true reform.
He will continue to reduce the collective incentive to work and create wealth. The new doctrine requires more government dependence.
The gradual retreat from capitalism has been greatly advanced without much notice.
In the coming months, conservatives will be reviled for attempts at fiscal sanity. Future generations will be irreparably harmed, but mostly the middle class. There is no Abraham Lincoln or Ronald Reagan who can fix our problems.
Generations have fought against oppressive government and died for freedoms unknown before our nation's creation. Now, we vote to end it. Ken Schopp
Lewisville, Texas

Client Profile: n-Link Corporation
By Ron Zollars
In the world of mathematics the universal factorial symbol "n" is used as part of an algebraic equation. For a high-technology and engineering-services corporation and its employee owners, the symbol represents the company's mathematical "n" number of "links" between the people and technology where its "creative minds provide for n-finite solutions" (n-Link's slogan). The company's upside down organization chart logo reflects these "links" and its culture of "servant leadership".
Located in the Pacific Northwest, n-Link Corporation is based out of the picturesque city of Bend, Ore. The company began its operations in 1995 as a women-owned, small business entity with the vision to create a 95 percent employee-owned company, where its employee owners provide value to their customers, employees and stakeholders. Today, there are approximately 120 employees dispersed throughout 25 states across the country.
n-Link Founder Sandra Green explained that in the early days she wasn't exactly certain what employee ownership entailed but knew intrinsically that it was a good thing for the company and the employees. Green felt that if the company could engage its employees that serve their customers to think like owners, then the company can grow and the employee's share value can grow. "We didn't have a clue what an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) was and how we would award stock," said Green. "It wasn't until I had met with a former colleague from PRC (and later SAIC) that I realized I could learn a lot more on the subject of employee ownership. He suggested that I attend a conference being hosted by Dr. Beyster's non-profit Foundation for Enterprise Development. That following year I registered a few of my management team and myself to attend the annual employee ownership conference in San Diego. After 16 years, between 10-20 of our employee owners and I continue to attend these annual conferences, co-hosted by the Beyster Institute and the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO). We enjoy the incredible learning opportunities - not just on employee ownership, but also on many other subjects like corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions using the ESOP, ownership thinking, leadership, collaboration, financial literacy training techniques, legislative updates that impact ESOP-owned companies, and many other great topics."
Sandra Green founder, chairman andCEO, n-Link Corporation
Green received a Master of Science degree under the Department of Electrical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Lowell with a concentration in communications and information systems. Earlier she achieved an undergraduate degree in Urban Planning from Salem State College in Massachusetts. Prior to starting n-Link, Green worked at several research firms in Washington, D.C. The expertise she provided to their customers was in the area of broadband coaxial cable designs of LAN/WAN and campus-wide networks for data communications. While the work was rewarding she still felt something was missing. "I recognized that I needed to do something for me. I was building the company but didn't feel I was building my skill base," Green said. "I noticed quite a shift in management styles between the original founder of the company and her husband. She was very much into what your goals were and how you could achieve them. Unfortunately, he was more into what can you do for me. Some of the dysfunctional management and leadership styles I observed were my catalysts to do things the right way. That was when I realized if I ever had a company, I was going to do everything I could to dedicate the company to enhance the goals of the employees. The company would in turn benefit. I'd have the employees drive their desire and commitment. When the company I worked for decided to renege on a stock agreement after performance objectives were achieved, that was the defining moment when I realized the time had come to start my company."
At the outset n-Link established itself as a company that would provide superb technical expertise and help solve complex problems. n-Link was incorporated in Washington State and had offices near the Navy (Bremerton, Wash.) and the eastside (Bellevue, Wash). "The first contract was in 1998 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Portland to provide C++ programmers," said Green. "On the heels of that came a contract with the U.S. Forest Service in Bend, Ore. to provide Java programmers. Under the GSA Region 10 contract – larger firms who had contracts were not thrilled about doing work in some of the outlying areas. We on the other hand, were not picky about where we were willing to travel to meet with the customer so Bend was one of those remote locations. We began traveling every month to visit our customers at various sites and we'd take employees to lunch to strengthen our bond to them and to 'serve' them as they 'serve' our customers. That feeling of wanting to do the right thing for the customer and the employees from the beginning was how we wanted to conduct business."
The company's customer base at n-Link is diverse and its decentralized structure allows them to be flexible and rapidly adapt to meet the individual customers' needs. The Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have been two of its largest customers. "We had about five contracts with the Corps of Engineers," said Green. One was an agency-wide contract called Corps of Engineers Enterprise Infrastructure Services which required the design, installation and management of a Network Operations and Security Center for 70 district locations across the U.S. and in Korea. Included were firewalls, intrusion detection systems, managing throughput, and providing three-tiered help desk support. Then we bid on a USDA contract that was full and open called ITSS2 against some of the largest multibillion dollar companies and won first place technically which led to one of several awards. The first task order that was issued under this contract we won to provide a prototype for a single sign-on solution. Later, this solution was adopted as USDA's agency-wide solution called eAuthentication. From a successful prototype in 2002 to USDA winning the 2004 Federal Office Systems Exposition award for top 10 e-government applications, n-Link now had performed two crown-jeweled contract efforts that were agency-wide solutions."
In her pursuit of setting up an ESOP in 1999, Green said it was equally important to her that the company be founded on a solid ethical base. "I wanted to ensure we had impeccable core values. This is the employees' company and I'm interested in their vision and values."
There were, however, some roadblocks encountered in the beginning. Green cautioned that it's important to do your homework when setting up an ESOP and admitted that she made some costly mistakes early on. "I didn't know I needed to have the precise wording 'money purchase' in our resolution when the Board approved the ESOP in 1999," said Green. "The attorney we worked with said you don't have those exact words so you can't contribute 25 percent of the employees' compensation into the account. That was extremely disappointing for us. We had intended to contribute $220,000 into the ESOP but instead were limited to $120,000 and had to pay Uncle Sam a huge chunk." Green said the lesson learned from the experience is to create a team where each ESOP advisor knows one another and works together when issues come up. There are a lot of people involved such as the valuation consultants, plan designers, ESOP attorney, trust attorney, fiduciaries and administrators. Knowing their roles and when to engage them will help.
Earlier this year, Green determined that she wanted to create a corporate advisory board. The idea behind this would be for employees at n-Link to be given a representative voice to speak on behalf of all employees as well as work with seasoned professionals who are very knowledgeable on the topic of employee ownership. Gary Sick, a 13-year employee and software architect at n-Link provides software development services to the Bonneville Power Administration in Vancouver, Wash. Sick is also one of two employees selected to be part of the newly formed advisory board. Gary explained that what currently is known as the corporate advisory board eventually will become the n-Link board of directors – consisting of two employee-owner directors and four external directors. "As a member of the corporate advisory board, I want to see this goal achieved with an n-Link board of directors that is fully engaged and committed to the ideas of employee ownership and consists of directors that are strategically aligned with the long-term corporate goals and vision," said Sick.

From a personal perspective, Sick said that employee ownership has provided him a valuable investment opportunity and is helping him to attain a comfortable retirement for the future. "But on a more personal level it has given me the opportunity to work with a group of really creative and brilliant people who are all dedicated to this concept of employee ownership," said Sick. "These employees are working hard to build a successful company that embodies the ideals of employee ownership."
At n-Link, the management team feels it is important to motivate and reward the employees for excellent performance. Being recognized for outstanding achievement and receiving awards is not unusual for n-Link. In 2011, Inc. Magazine selected n-Link for one of the magazine's "Top 50 Winning Workplace"awards.
"We were one of only two companies in Oregon that won," said Green. "I think a lot of the employees at a job site see opportunities that they would never have realized as opportunities for growth, for themselves and for the company. Now it's their company. They know they can do a better job than the competitors. So it's a mindset change evolving from being an employee to becoming (and thinking like) an owner."
The company backs up what they say and generously invests in the individual employee. "The last two years, we have contributed 25 percent of an employees' salary into the ESOP, along with a four percent match in the 401K," said Green. "We also have paid up to $15,000 per year for educational allowance on such key certifications as PMP (program management) and Federal Enterprise Architecture. We bonus them $2,500 for their effort once the certification is earned."
Green also emphasizes the importance of a management team that works hard to incentivize, empower and serve its employee owners in the field. "They are the critical link to building trust across the company so our employee owners in the field and our infrastructure staff at our headquarters and regional offices operate as one united force – serving one another while serving the customer."
We asked Sandra Green about her future plans and what she would like to accomplish in the industry before she leaves. She said she intends to remain active at n-Link for another 10 years. "Information technology services are becoming more and more commoditized and the future will be in the hands of the employees," said Green. "Today, an employee needs to be very entrepreneurial to think outside of the box to create efficiencies that help reduce the customer's IT costs. That is where we'd like to go on a consistent basis. Get employee owners to think like owners, constantly pushing the envelope, bringing unique ideas to the customer so we can go to another level where the costs are continually declining because you are using innovation to get the job done. In essence, become better, cheaper and faster."
According to Gary Sick, n-Link became a 100-percent employee-owned company about a year and a half ago. "It has taken 13 years to arrive at this point. I do not believe this would have been achievable without the vision and dedication of Sandy Green, our founder. She started this company 15 years ago with a vision at the very outset of instilling employee ownership ideals. Of course none of us at that time knew what that really meant, even less so how to achieve it. We received a lot of help along the way from the Beyster Institute, the NCEO and numerous consultants who have attended our yearly team events to provide training to our employee owners and help us succeed. We can't thank them enough."

Prior to taking a break for finals, the UCSD women's track and field team took first place at the San Diego Collegiate Challenge. It was the second weekend in a row that UCSD's women won a meet. The women finished with 216.5 points, allowing them to finish ahead of crosstown foes San Diego State (205), as well as six other competing schools. The men's team also had an impressive showing, finishing second among five squads with a total of 201 points, right behind first-place Navy (213).
In Triton Track & Field Stadium's first turn as host of the All-Cal Championships after previously being held in Irvine, the UCSD women (221 points) earned their first title over Division I fellow UC system schools UC Santa Barbara (189), UC Irvine (122) and UC Riverside (76) since back-to-back successes in 2008 and 2009.

UCSD hosts five meets at Triton Track & Field Stadium in La Jolla in 2014. Headlining the home schedule are the top two meets on the Tritons' annual calendar in the lead-up to the NCAA Championships, those being the Cal-Nevada Collegiate Championships, April 4-5, and the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Championships, May 1-3. This will mark the second straight year that UCSD hosts one of the premier college track and field events on the West Coast in the Cal-Nevada Championships. La Jolla awaits the CCAA meet for the first time since 2010.
For the sixth season in a row, the Triton men's javelin contingent will be led by a student-athlete with the last name of Howe. Nash Howe comes off of his All-America sophomore campaign as the seventh-place finisher at his first national meet and first-time champion at the conference level. He took over as the CCAA javelin champ for his older brother, Nick Howe, now in his second year as a volunteer assistant coach on the UCSD staff while he continues to train on campus toward an Olympic run for Rio 2016. Nick was a two-time national champion, three-time All-American and four-time CCAA champion from 2009-12. He holds the school javelin record at 231'3", with Nash chasing his older brother in second at 229'3". The younger Howe made his season debut in La Jolla at the All-Cal Championships on March 8, and immediately booked a second straight trip to the NCAA Championships with an automatic qualifier of 218'10". The Triton coaching staff is also preparing him for beyond, looking ahead to the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Sacramento, June 26-29.
Sabrina Pimentel is in her junior season after two previous years of impressive performances. As a freshman, Pimentel achieved All-American status running the opening leg of the seventh-place 4x400 relay (3:45.17) after the Triton foursome ran to a school record-breaking time of 3:42.17 in prelims at the NCAA Championships, as well as becoming CCAA champion in the same event. Pimentel also put her name in the record books during her sophomore season (2013) in both the 400 and 800. With a time of 55.95, she garnered the third-fastest 400 in school history, and moved up to second on UCSD all-time top-10 list in the 800 (2:10.90). Her performance in the 800 qualified her for the NCAA Championsips where she finished ninth with a time of 2:13.35.
Senior Clint Rosser is coming off of an impressive junior season in the pole vault. In 2013, he won the pole vault at the Azusa Pacific Last Chance Qualifier, clearing a personal-best height of 16'3.5". The mark, No. 3 all-time in program history, allowed the Westchester (Loyola HS) native to reach and compete in the NCAA Championships. Prior to that competition, Rosser earned the NCAA Elite 89 award for Division II men's outdoor track and field for having the highest grade-point average (3.97 in environmental engineering) among athletes who made it to the NCAA Championships. He then moved 10 slots up form his No. 19 seed and narrowly missed out on becoming an All-American with a ninth-place showing (16'2.75").
Junior Chantia Justice and sophomore Kristin Sato excel for the Tritons in the jumps. In the 2013 season, Justice finished in the top-8 for both the high jump and the triple jump at the CCAA Championships. At the 2012 All-Cal Championships, Justice reached a mark of 5'1" in the high jump, giving her a fourth-place finish. During her freshman campaign, Sato had an impressive year, particularly in the long jump and the triple jump. At the CCAA Championships, Sato finished third in the long jump (17'9.4") and first in the triple jump (39'5.2"), contributing to her CCAA Freshman of the Year award. Sato's mark in the triple jump also qualified her for the NCAA Championships, where she finished 18th overall (38'8.75").
Junior sprinter Keith Rose is the school record-holder in both the 100 and 200 meters, and the reigning CCAA champion in the 100. He placed third in the 200 last season and led off the third-place 4x400 relay. Rose has broken the school mark in both individual sprints twice each. He broke the 100 standard in both prelims (10.71) and finals (10.62) at the 2013 CCAA Championships in Turlock last May. Rose first took over the 200 mark as a freshman (21.59) and lowered it in prelims (21.57) at the 2013 CCAA meet. He is the younger brother of former Triton All-American Jacqueline Rose (2009-12).
UCSD has three All-Americans on its 2014 roster. Junior Nash Howe earned All-America honors with a seventh-place finish in the javelin a year ago in his debut at the NCAA Division II Championships. Junior Sabrina Pimentel and senior Lauren Irish are All-Americans from the 2012 season, when they made up half of UCSD's seventh-place 4x400 relay. Pimentel competed at the 2013 NCAA Championships as well, in the 800 meters. Remaining returners who made the 2013 NCAA field are senior pole vaulter Clint Rosser and sophomore Kristin Sato, the 2013 CCAA Freshman of the Year, in the triple jump. Pimentel and Rosser both fell narrowly short of All-America status with ninth-place finishes in their respective events.
UCSD is coming off of a fourth consecutive second-place finish at the CCAA Championships on the women's side, all behind Chico State. The Triton men have produced three successive third-place efforts, with Chico State now the 10-time defending league champion. UCSD was 11.33 points back of second-place Cal Poly Pomona in Turlock in 2013. Triton Track & Field Stadium will serve as host of the 2014 CCAA Championships. The Triton men and women both placed second behind Chico State the last time the meet was held in La Jolla in 2010. That runner-up showing, by a mere 2.83 points (212.33-209.5), snapped a run of five consecutive conference titles for the UCSD women.
Nash Howe (javelin), Kellen Levy (10000), Keith Rose (100) and Kristin Sato (triple jump) are returning CCAA champions from 2013. All told, there are 14 Tritons on the 2014 roster who produced top-three finishes in at least one individual event at the 2013 CCAA Championships. They are Howe (1st, javelin), Levy (1st, 10000), Rose (1st, 100; 3rd, 200), Sato (1st, triple jump, 3rd, long jump), Lorato Anderson (2nd, 800), Megan Benham (3rd, pole vault), Veronica Bradley (tied 3rd, high jump), Sean Cook (2nd, long jump), Daniel Franz (2nd, steeplechase), Eva Isaacs (2nd, shot put), Chantia Justice (2nd, triple jump), Sabrina Pimentel (2nd, 400), Clint Rosser (3rd, pole vault) and Julia Wildenthaler (3rd, triple jump). Pimentel and Lauren Irish were on the third-place women's 4x400 relay, while Rose, Nate Ford and David Guinasso were part of the third-place men's 4x400.
UCSD swept the men's and women's CCAA Freshman of the Year awards a year ago, with rookie field standouts Sean Cook and Kristin Sato earning the distinctions. Sato won the triple jump and placed third in the long jump, while Cook was second in the long jump, sixth in the high jump and 11th in the triple jump. Sato went on to warrant a late addition to the NCAA field, where she placed 18th at her first nationals in the triple jump.

August 19 - Blaise Pascal, Scientist, Follower of Truth
Blaise Pascal had a very keen mind and a tendency to apply it freely and easily to the thoughts and concerns of his day. He was born in provincial France but his mother died when he was only three years old. Consequently, his father raised him and his two sisters alone. They were taken care of but they lacked their mother and would spend many long hours yearning for her presence.Further, though they were Roman Catholic by birth and self-description their faith can best be described as nominal and insincere. Blaise found consolation, adventure, and release in mathematics. He was comfortable in the ivory tower of academia. He applied himself fully to his studies and was soon noted for his astounding brilliance and was acclaimed as a child prodigy.
He was already publishing mathematical studies and proofs as a teenager. It cannot be denied, even for a second, that Blaise was a brilliant man with a mind fit for precise calculation and consideration. He expanded the disciplines of geometry by leaps and bounds, pioneered new patterns and theories in probability, laid the groundwork for the disciplines of calculus and economics, added to knowledge about fluid dynamics, clarified thoughts concerning pressure and vacuums, helped construct a mechanical calculator, and provided other advancements to knowledge in applied sciences and mathematics. Neither his academic rigor nor his value to modern science and mathematics can be dismissed. And, yet, he found himself unfulfilled and unsatisfied by these pursuits. So--he turned to philosophy and theology hoping to find meaning.
Blaise wrote, "Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth." In writing this, he engaged in confession and autobiography. For Blaise, there was no rest unless it was found in truth and knowledge. He had been so trained to chase after truth that it permeated his every thought and action. Though this sounds like a good argument for ignorance, Blaise had the awareness to identify this human drive for truth. It wasn't simply a personal preoccupation he was naming, it was an innate restlessness common to all people living in a world of shadows searching for something of substance.
Blaise's much hallowed reason was justifiably dear to him but his philosophical and theological explorations led him to a place where he could see its limitations. Blaise never came to a place where he dismissed reason--as it was a valuable and important tool worthy of respect and appreciation by all--but he did, eventually, arrive at an understanding of reason rightly known--a tool (and a fallible one at that). So, even though reason was to be used continuously to analyze and consider the events and circumstances of the world, it was to be understood to be as weak as the wielder of it--in other words, reason and science aren't the problem, misuse of them is. For Blaise, reason was unfit for the ultimate pursuit of truth because truth was more than "the case that is" or some long list of propositions but, rather, it was a person(John 14:6). Blaise writes, "It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason." Further, he deduced: "It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist." For Blaise, reason was an incomplete tool by itself and required right use to be effective. When he attempted to fill the hole he felt, he found that reason and rationality could not persuade and were, in fact, as weak as his will to use them. He concluded: "For after all what is man in nature? A nothing in relation to infinity, all in relation to nothing, a central point between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either. The ends of things and their beginnings are impregnably concealed from him in an impenetrable secret. He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed." This was not because he doubted reason and science but because he doubted the ability of the part of the system to understand the whole that formed it--he doubted the ability of the creation to comprehend the creator. Blaise had found the right place and limitations of not only reason but, also, himself and everybody else.
Ultimately, for Blaise, truth was found in earnest seeking after God. He experienced numerous mystical events including a healing of a woman with fistula lacrymalis and a mystical vision. It was in these moments of mystical truth that Blaise found comfort--not in his moments of great academic achievement. For a man to whom astounding intellect was a foregone conclusion, it is notable that he found his greatest satisfaction and fulfillment in the pursuit of an elusive mystery like love of enemies and redemption of broken people and sinners.It was not cold rationality that brought about Blaise's conversion to truth but, rather, the hallowed pursuit of the one who is Truth. In the end, Blaise contributed again and again to theology and philosophy and died as a Christian committed to following The Truth. He died a Christian and found the rest in the Truth that he had been seeking all those years.

You Can Make SOPA and PIPA Irrelevant (But You're Probably Too Lazy)
SOPA and PIPA are bad laws. And Clay Shirky's TED talk about why they're bad laws is great. But he gets the most important point wrong. Right at the end, he says there are two things you can do.
He says you can call your Congresspeeps, and you can "get ready", because more is coming.
But there aren't two things you can do. There are three. And the third thing is much more powerful than the two things Clay suggests.
You can make SOPA, PIPA, Copyright, and the Media moguls of the Hollywood studios, the music labels, the MPAA, and the RIAA irrelevant. You can cut off their air supply.
You can make your own media, and you can make it free.
And why wouldn't you? It's not like the media that's being made for you - for which the RIAA and the MPAA are willing to break the Internet and put you in jail - is any good.
Today's media is SHIT.
Are you dying to see "April of the Penguins" and "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3D"?
Can you NOT FUCKING WAIT for the latest Justin Bieber disc?
(If you said "yes", you are not the target audience, and you are not the future. Please leave.)
I've said it before, but it bears repeating. This stuff is NOT WORTH STEALING. The RIAA and the MPAA want to break the Internet to protect Britney Spears and "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked". SRSLY.
You can make your own media, and you can OBVIOUSLY make better media.
My sisters and I made this in 48 hours with one iPhone, one iMac, and software that cost us zero dollars. You can do MUCH MUCH BETTER. (We can too, and we will).
A modern $300 point-and-shoot camera will take hi-def video whose quality would have made Orson Welles cry. A new Mac comes with iMovie and Garage Band FREE. These apps will let you do things a Hollywood studio would have spent millions of dollars on only a decade ago. Robert Rodriguez' 10-minute film schools are on YouTube and will teach you everything you need to know - IF you have a story to tell and a bit of talent.
So why do you pay $12 for a movie ticket to see some hack's cynical sequel to a sequel when you could make movies yourself and share them for free on YouTube or Vimeo?
Because you're lazy and afraid.
If enough of you shake off the fear and lethargy, you can make the Internet a BETTER place to watch movies than the theater: not just a cheaper place, but a BETTER place. Better because the stories are better and better because the viewing experience is better (no DRM, no lawyers, no restrictions on where a movie can be viewed, no need to wait for a movie to be "released" in our towns).
And you know what's even better than that? If you DO make the Internet a better place to watch movies than the theater, you'll also make it a place where the people who MAKE movies get paid. Which would be great, because the current system doesn't pay people who make movies: it pays people who finance movies, distribute movies, and lobby Congress to make sure watching movies stays expensive.
Here's all it would take. You'd get your ass off the couch and write down that story you think really needs to be told. You'd take in a few online tutorials - maybe Dan Allen's short-film and FCPX tutorials (look for iMovie tutorials if you're cheap), and a few GarageBand lessons. You'd read David Mamet's wonderful short book On Directing Film. And then you'd dust off your DSLR or your digital point-and-shoot camera and go out and make a movie.
You'd upload that movie to YouTube or Vimeo, and you'd give it a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license so anybody could embed it, show it, or download it and remix it to create their own works for free.
You might make a really great film. If you do, you might get paid for it - or not, but you'd still have made a really great film. But - and this is the important point - NO MOVIE STUDIO WOULD GET PAID FOR IT. AND NO MOVIE STUDIO LAWYER WOULD BE ABLE TO THREATEN TO TAKE A WEBSITE OFF THE INTERNET FOR HOSTING IT. AND NO MOVIE STUDIO LOBBYIST WOULD BE ABLE TO BREAK THE INTERNET TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM RIFFING ON IT.
If enough of you do this, the movie studios will have less money. Less money to make shit movies, but also less money to pay lobbyists to pay Congressmen to break the Internet.
And if that happens, Clay's fears won't be realized. There won't be another SOPA waiting for us down the road.
But of course, you'd have to get your ass off the couch.

Horgan and Williams Score in Rams Win
Farmingdale State - 2, Mount Saint Mary - 0
Newburgh, N.Y. - Freshman forward Taylor Horgan (Long Beach, N.Y./Long Beach) and sophomore midfielder Brittany Williams (Massapequa, N.Y./Massapequa) scored a goal each in the Rams 2-0 women's soccer victory on Thursday night against Mount Saint Mary College. Farmingdale is now 12-4-3 overall and 7-0-1 in the conference, while the Blue Knights fell to 7-7-2, 3-2-2 in the Skyline.
Horgan's goal came in the 9th minute (8:42) on a one-timer off a hard cross from the right side from freshman forward Christina Merrill (Levittown, N.Y./Island Trees). The Rams took a 1-0 lead into the halftime break and Williams would score the insurance goal at 78:27 when Merrill sent a cross from the left side. Freshman forward Melissia Elie (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) sent it over to Williams who sent a shot under the crossbar for the 2-0 lead.
Farmingdale held on for their 12th team shutout of the season, as freshman goalkeeper Stacey Rao (Ronkonkoma, N.Y./Connetquot) made two saves to improve her season record in net to 5-2-1 with five shutouts.
The Rams will now host the College of Mount Saint Vincent for the final regular season game on Saturday, October 31st at 1:00 p.m.
