How to
Use The Activities
Inquiry Question
Activity 1: Pearl Harbor and the Casualties of War
Activity 2: Comparing Textbook Accounts
In April 1941, Japan agreed to a Japan-USSR Neutrality Treaty in order to lessen the military threat to the north. This was followed by the occupation of the southern half of Indo-China by Japanese military forces. In consequence, the American attitude towards Japan hardened, and diplomatic relations between the two countries came to a dead end. The Tojo Cabinet conducted its business in extreme secrecy, and in the pre-dawn hours of December 8, 1941 [December 7, Honolulu time], Pearl Harbor in Hawaii was attacked and war was simultaneously declared against the United States and England. The Pacific War was thus begun. (Donald W. Robinson, Editor, As Others See Us, International Views of American History. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1969.)
Ask students to cite differences between the two textbook accounts and discuss why they would differ to such a great degree. Have them develop an outline of the information they think should be included in both U.S. and Japanese textbooks. Compare the outlines and discuss differences in treatment.
Activity 3: Survivors of War
Activity 4: Examining War Memorials
Some students may have visited Revolutionary or Civil War battlefields and may have pictures to bring to class. Other students may use library books to find examples of war memorials. Have them compare memorials from different wars by listing the materials they are made of, the size of the monument, the prominence of the memorial in its surroundings, and the dedicatory inscriptions found on the memorial. Then ask them to consider why some wars have been better remembered than others. Does the type of war fought make a difference? Have styles of memorials changed over time? Do all memorials seem fitting to the event? Do they feel the USS Arizona Memorial is appropriate for its purpose?

If you're into Charles Dickens there's a hell of a lot going on in Portsmouth over the next week or so.
The City Museum in Portsmouth is hosting an exhibition, aptly-titled 'A Tale of One City', looking at Dickens and Dickensian Portsmouth, and exploring some themes that Dickens wrote about – poverty, money, crime, they're all things that Charles Dickens wrote about in Victorian times and we are still faced with today. The exhibition also features part of the original manuscript of Nicholas Nickelby, the only Dickens novel which features the town of his birth, on loan from the British Library. The exhibition runs until November.
Tomorrow (Sunday 5th Feb) the Charles Dickens Birthplace is free entry all day. And on Tuesday 7 February, on the great man's two hundredth birthday itself, the Charles Dickens Birthplace Museum in Portsmouth will be hosting special events throughout the day. There will be a range of activities and celebrations in Old Commercial Road, including street performers, musicians, food, craft activities and readings. At 10.45 the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth and Ian Dickens will speak outside the Museum, before laying a wreath. At 11.30am the Museum will open to the public. The birthplace itself is a small terraced house, so expect it to get very busy! For more information click here.
At 12 noon there will be a thanksgiving service at St Mary's Church in Fratton, where Charles Dickens was baptised in 1812. Simon Callow and Sheila Hancock will both give readings, and there will be a performance of Songs from Oliver by the choir of St Johns RC Primary School. In the evening at the New Theatre Royal Simon Callow will be reading excerpts from his book 'Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World'. Later in the year the Dickens Fellowship are planning to unveil a statue of the great man himself, appropriately outside Portsmouth Central Library Square.
I've always been a great fan of Dickens and his works. The funny thing is, I don't actually enjoy reading the books that much – the manner in which they are written does not, I feel, lend itself well to reading from cover to cover. The books were initially serialised by chapters, in cheap popular magazines of the day. This is probably how they should be read – a bitesize chunk at a time. Or performed – I feel that it is a true testament to Dickens that his works translate so well onto screen and stage, when TV was invented almost a hundred years after he was born!
The themes, subjects and stories that Dickens wrote about are very much still relevant today. What would Dickens have to say about Bankers bonuses? or last summers riots? Or social media? That's the funny thing about history – and social history in particular. Whilst on the surface life has changed immeasurably, actually, humankind hasn't changed all that much.

A New Jersey woman has pleaded not guilty to reckless manslaughter in the case of a man who died after having his penis injected with silicone.
The woman police say gave the injection, Kasia Rivera, appeared Tuesday in a Newark courtroom.
The Essex County prosecutor's office says 35-year-old Rivera gave 22-year-old Justin Street, who was seeking an enlargement, the injection in May.
Street died the next day. His death was ruled a homicide following an investigation and a medical examiner's determination he died of a silicone embolism.
Prosecutors say Rivera had no training to perform the procedure. They believe Rivera may have conducted similar unauthorized procedures out of her East Orange apartment, but no one else has stepped forward.
She remains free on $75,000 bail.

A Target 18-wheeler ended up off-target near Monticello, Minnesota this morning when the driver apparently lost control and plunged off the roadway into a frozen lake. State Police are trying to figure out how this happened.
Minnesota (we hope you said that in a funny accent too) cops were actually first to publicize the bizarre incident, publishing photos to Twitter before local news media could swoop in.
While the Ice wasn't nearly thick enough to support the truck, it could hold the driver, who was able to walk to safety across it. The driver, John Nettifee, was treated for minor injuries and given the once-over at a local hospital before being released.
There's no official accident report yet, but another truck driver who allegedly witnessed the accident guessed that Nettifee lost control before his truck broke through roadside catcher cables and wound up in the lake.

Thursday night, I was under the sheets of a familiar gentleman who has been in my life for about five years named Dre. He invited me over to provide winter heat and of course I obliged. After the traveling, I met the best friend of his roommate the moment I'm at the door. To be honest, I've had encounters where I've met one too many of the roommates, which left a bad taste in my mouth, but that's another post. This situation was tolerable, plus we were too busy getting reacquainted.
As the intimacy began, licking my nipples (the right side is my spot), sucking, kissing, caressing from behind breathing onto the back of my neck, the hot, juicy details of sex too X-rated to share ... well at least for now ... (I can't give it all away on the first night ... or in this case first posting). However, what I will say is, I found myself working harder than usual to keep him up. At first, it was bruising to my ego, however I knew my skills weren't what was faltering. I also noticed his plea for me to relax. I was indeed in the mood, however, sex is still complicated. Being raped at seventeen, little did I know the traumatic experience still held precedence in my intimate relationships. I believe it's a thing about trust that drives this lack of ease during an easing moment. He caressed and acknowledged after attempting to relax me but I knew he was frustrated somewhat.
I also noticed my behavior being the opposite of what I was searching for. I kept grabbing for his dick when he was showing me affection. I don't know, maybe I have a hard time processing the very thing I sought after during the majority of my twenties. Could it be I've grown cynical? Or have I been so burned to the point I don't even feel it anymore? Is it possible that I've become emotionally detached? I've been experiencing my fair share of not wanting to deal with the stress of a relationship and the truth is as much as I would love to have love in my life, presently I can't with the constant building, breaking up, breaking down, finding pieces, super-gluing and then interviews over drinks and dinner and the annoying getting-to-know process. UGH! I see why they call this shit a "game" and living in Atlanta doesn't make it easier. Well, leave me on the bleachers and let me watch the players run by with no shirt on...sorry I digress...but you get the point.
I know what you're thinking, I'm a commitment-phobe. On the contrary it's the commitment-phobes of Christmas dating-past who caused this transition and perception. I wanted love so badly until it hurt (and it still does) and my twenties were spent running after men who weren't willing to be invested. Or, if I did there were always strings attached and of course there's the scenarios with a DL who want his hookups to refer him as a nickname. I personally like to call them the "Dee, Jay, Que's". When Dre finally grew overwhelmed we both stopped and held on another. We didn't cum. I was over it. I knew he wasn't all the way present, I knew all of this, but for that moment, he was mine and I was his. It felt good yet it pissed me off only to share this type of moments on a time schedule. Morning came and again ... we didnt ( I was sooo evil about it), however, I did leave discovering yet another problem to tackle.
My lack of intimacy.
It goes way deeper than anything I've written in books, blog posts, etc. I've never been in love. Yes, I've had encounters, lessons, rest stops and cameo appearances but never have I experienced having that can't-live-without-you hopeless romantic kind of love. I'm 29 with no long term experience. Lately this has been the theme, the topic of conversations over wine and MARY, of how someone like me has never been in love. Well, I always say, when you got the answer to that get back with me. Does it bother me? Yes. Many nights, I've cried over this, many nights I've placed myself in compromising positions to avoid this conversation, I wonder if I've never made love -- does that mean I'm a virgin still?
I cannot recall a time when I can say I've been touched and he actually stayed afterwards. I cannot recall anytime I've been told I love you without the strings attached or the effort growing inconsistent. Right now, even writing this, I'm realizing how much I've been cheated out of and even cheated myself out of.
These posts from here out are going to be graphic, to the point, intelligent yet sexy, a hard pill to swallow addressing how HIV plays a role in my life as a young, gifted, black gay man living in Atlanta, navigating through this city. This life is meant to be observed and I hope you're ready for this ride. Get your popcorn ready.
Until next time my loves...

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — Still in the glow of midnight marriages across New York, hundreds of gay couples were expected to marry on Sunday on the first full day that same-sex weddings were legal in the Empire State.
New York City alone was ready to host several hundred same-sex weddings, and clerks, judges and other officials in several cities around the state were opening their doors on a Sunday to cater to gay couples.
Judges were being posted in New York City clerks' offices on Sunday to officiate and to consider waiver requests to the state's mandatory 24-hour wait between issuing a license and a having ceremony. Couples without waivers can't wed until Monday or Tuesday, depending on whether their local clerks issue licenses Sunday.
Initially, New York City officials had projected that about 2,500 couples might show up at the city clerk's offices hoping to get married on Sunday, but by the time a 48-hour lottery had drawn to a close on Thursday, 823 couples had signed up — 59 more than the city had planned to accommodate. The city will perform ceremonies for all 823.
The first couples got married at the stroke of midnight Saturday in every corner of the state, from Niagara Falls to the capital in Albany to Long Island.
New York became the sixth, and largest, state to allow gay marriages last month, a highly anticipated vote that was viewed as a pivotal moment in the national gay rights movement and was expected to galvanize supporters and opponents alike.
Gay-rights activists Kitty Lambert and Cheryle Rudd were legally married the very first moment they could be during a midnight ceremony at Niagara Falls.
With a rainbow-lit Niagara Falls as a backdrop, Lambert, 54, and Rudd, 53, were among the first gay couples to tie the knot with the blessing of the state. Lambert and Rudd, grandmothers with 12 grandchildren between them, have been together for more than a decade and had long been fighting for the right to marry.
The couple, both from Buffalo, smiled broadly as they exchanged traditional marriage vows, promising to love and cherish each other in sickness and in health. A crowd of several hundred people cheered as they were pronounced married and shared their first kiss.
"What an incredible night this was," said Lambert, who wore an electric blue satin gown with a sequined train for the midnight ceremony and carried a bouquet of blue hydrangeas. "This was an amazing night. Everything was absolutely perfect."
Rudd, who wore a white tuxedo with tails and white tennis shoes, said she felt "great relief" at being married because now she's "just like everyone else" and has the same rights.
"It feels great: I'm married," she said with an excited laugh.
Mayor Paul Dyster performed the ceremony, which was attended by some of the state lawmakers whose vote last month made it possible.
Lambert said in the days leading up to the event that she had told Rudd "way back that when this went through we won't wait a moment longer than we have to."
In Albany, Mayor Jerry Jennings performed marriages at 12:01 a.m. Sunday in the Common Council's chambers. A state Supreme Court judge waived the state-mandated 24-hour waiting period, Jennings said.
About 300 people packed the chambers for multiple ceremonies. Ariel Heintze and Kerry Doutrich, of Boulder, Colo., turned a long-planned visit to a friend into a reason to get a marriage license. Engaged three years, they'll marry later at the home of their friend, Jan Moyer, of Brunswick.
"It's absolutely historic," Doutrich said.
New York's vote to allow gay marriage provided fresh energy to the national drive for same-sex weddings. New York joined Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C.
Advocates and opponents, many of whom reject same-sex marriage on religious grounds, said the New York vote, propelled by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, would invigorate both sides.
Protests were planned around the state for Sunday, including at the state Capitol.
In Niagara Falls, Lambert and Rudd chose Luna Island at the foot of the Falls for the site of their ceremony, following in the tradition of countless other couples who've been marrying there for more than a century. The waterfalls were lit, for the first time, in the hues of the rainbow, the symbol of gay equality and pride.
The couple carefully planned a ceremony that would have them saying "I do" at one second past midnight, following a candlelit procession.
The Falls also will be the backdrop for a group wedding on Monday, with more than 40 couples planning to simultaneously marry.
On Long Island, Frank Fuertes and Patrick Simeone were married — again — in North Hempstead, just east of New York City. They married in Quebec three years ago and had considered themselves married since they met and moved in together in 1988. They had a small ceremony with a handful of friends in front of Town Clerk Leslie Gross and planned to be back at "business as usual" Monday morning.
"To me, it was 'About time,'" said Fuertes, a 55-year-old operations director for a retail company.
Simeone, a stylist on Long Island's north shore, said he's only sorry it took New York so long to recognize same-sex marriage.
"It's such a leader in many different ways," he said.
After the ceremony, Simeone said that despite being together 23 years, he felt different.
"We're happily married," he said shortly after 1 a.m. "I feel more loving. Kinder, more tender, more loved."

Rated 5 out of 5 by CaptainMalReynolds from 00 Status Confirmed I have been wearing the 007 line for awhile now. I've gone through a couple of changes with the line going from using the Original Signature to using Ocean Royale instead. Well I wanted another one that I could use alongside Ocean (my main cologne# when I wanted a more sophisticated scent #Ocean is very Bahamas and island smelling). Thankfully my prayers were answered with this year's Seven release. This is probably the best smelling of all the 007 colognes and well worth the price I paid. I love it and get nothing but compliments from women which is the exact reason I wear cologne. Thank you for this!!!!!

_Finally_ nailed Warlord Gold and got my second slot for forbids and...I have no idea what to put in it. My first slot is Bloody Sigil, because it comes up useful so rarely I don't find it being around to be worthwhile. Maybe I should let it out for conversion bait purposes, though.
My next guess is Rock Heart. I grab it once in awhile, but the benefit is minimal even when I'm doing a KB/PISORF focused character. It doesn't even make terribly good conversion fodder. I'd drop Spoon in there, but there's a lot of times at level 1/2 that one damage can make a difference and it's a small slot and one gold. I'm planning on getting at least four forbid slots from all the Gold challenges and most of the stuff that was utter crap during the beta got made at least marginally useful, so it's hard to decide what to forbid. Blue Bead probably only helps out half the times I see it, but that's not bad at all.

An IBM researcher has solved a complicated mathematical problem that has confounded scientists since the invention of public-key encryption several decades ago. The breakthrough, called "privacy homomorphism," or "fully homomorphic encryption," makes possible the deep and unlimited analysis of encrypted information -- data that has been intentionally scrambled -- without sacrificing confidentiality.
Craig Gentry uses a mathematical object called an "ideal lattice" to let people fully interact with encrypted data in ways previously thought impossible. With the breakthrough, computer vendors storing the confidential, electronic data of others will be able to fully analyze data on their clients' behalf without expensive interaction with the client, and without seeing any of the private data. With Gentry's technique, the analysis of encrypted information can yield the same detailed results as if the original data was fully visible to all.
Potential applications include enabling filters to identify spam, even in encrypted email, or protecting information contained in electronic medical records. The breakthrough might also one day enable computer users to retrieve information from a search engine with more confidentiality.
"Fully homomorphic encryption is a bit like enabling a layperson to perform flawless neurosurgery while blindfolded, and without later remembering the episode," says IBM Research's Charles Lickel. "We believe this breakthrough will enable businesses to make more informed decisions, based on more studied analysis, without compromising privacy. We also think that the lattice approach holds potential for helping to solve additional cryptography challenges in the future."
Ron Rivest and Leonard Adleman, along with Michael Dertouzos, introduced and struggled with the notion of fully homomorphic encryption approximately 30 years ago. Although advances through the years offered partial solutions to this problem, a full solution that achieves all the desired properties of homomorphic encryption did not exist until now.

Nokia has introduced three development tools -- Web Run Time (WRT) plugs-ins -- aimed at easy conversion of standard web code and scripting languages into mobile applications and services, while working directly within three of the most popular software development environments:
- Microsoft Visual Studio
- Adobe Dreamweaver
- Aptana Studio 2, an Eclipse-based tool
Nokia's WRT widget plug-ins let web developers and designers working within Dreamweaver, Visual Studio, and Aptana Studio rapidly deliver widget-based content to Nokia devices. The WRT widgets provide mobile users instant access to customizable information or tools drawn in real-time from the Internet. Popular widgets range from breaking news headlines to stock-market tickers, social network status updates, flight arrival schedules, localized daily weather and more.
No previous experience with Nokia software development tools or mobile platform technologies is needed to create on-device Nokia WRT widget applications, enabling businesses and organizations to mobilize their existing web presence and create Web 2.0 mashups of content and services that combine the power of the Internet with the capabilities of Nokia mobile devices.
"These new Nokia WRT tools open up the mobile market to web developers and creative professionals worldwide who work every day in these widely used development environments to create web applications and content," says Craig Cumberland, Director of WRT Tools and Technologies, Nokia. "WRT plug-ins enable the easy creation of feature-rich widget applications for the enjoyment of mobile consumers around the globe, providing new horizons to untold numbers of individuals and organizations seeking to extend their web content and Internet presence into the mobile space."
Additionally, within the next 30 days, Nokia will localize the WRT Extension for Adobe Dreamweaver and the Nokia WRT plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio, offering multi-language support for developer tools for the first time. The tools will be available in eight languages, including traditional and simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, German and Spanish for developers around the world.

Ginger Garlic Paste Recipes
Vegetarian Haleem Recipe
Haleem is one of my husband Lulu's many favorite dishes. It has a velvety consistency and is usually made of pearled wheat germ (sometimes with barley as well), stewed meat (chicken, goat meat or beef shanks), five varieties of lentils and various spices. Since Lulu and his dad are vegetarians, I prepare it meat-free (so appropriate for our Meatless Mondays!). The thick lentil stew is served piping hot with fresh ginger cut into thin matchsticks, daikon pieces, fresh mint (sometimes with dill also), chopped chiles, lime wedges and a garnish of crispy fried onions.
It used to be a labor-intensive task to turn the mixture into a thick paste, but these days a food processor makes it easy breezy. Thank you so much to Phoopi (Daddy's sister) who taught me this wonderful dish, despite her extremely busy schedule. Lulu is so excited he wants to eat vegetarian haleem everyday!
Full Recipe...
Ultay Pultay Recipe (Indian Chana Pancake Curry)
Ultay pultay is what my father-in-law (I call him "Daddy"), who's a vegetarian, considers a festive dish. This dish is composed of thin, firmly pressed chickpea pancakes soaked in spicy gravy. The cooking time was a bit a long but seeing Daddy enjoy his meal was so rewarding.
I learned to make ultay pultay from Lulu's paternal grandmother's sister. The entire family calls her Muni Baji in Urdu, which translates to "little sister" in English and she's indeed the youngest of a large brood; Lulu's grandmother was the eldest.
It was a lot of fun learning the curry dish from Muni Baji. She told me a lot of stories about her life in Hyderabad. For instance, the gravy calls for fried onion paste and back in the day, there was no blender so it was puréed by hand!

Vietnamese Vegetarian Pate Recipe
This is a recipe that didn't make it into the Bánh Mì cookbook, my second publication that is already available for pre-order. I prepared a vegetable and tofu pâté that's often used in vegetarian bánh mì sandwiches. This dish is called tàu hũ chưng in Vietnamese. I mixed tofu and a mirepoix of vegetables, which is a combination of coarsely chopped carrots, onions, leek, celery and mushrooms. The preparation is steamed then baked until firm.
Over the past few weeks I've been posting a vegetarian recipe each Monday. It's part of an effort on my part to eat a little bit healthier by reducing my meat consumption. So from now on, you'll find a vegetarian recipe every "Meatless Monday".
Full Recipe...
Tau Hu Chung: Vietnamese Vegetarian Pate Recipe
Tàu hũ chưng is one of the many vegetarian equivalents you can find to Vietnamese meat dishes. As I mentioned last week, Tết is coming soon (January 23rd), and you're supposed to eat vegetarian for the days just before and after the Asian New Year. Usually, I would make mắm chưng thịt (Vietnamese-style meatloaf). This dish is similar, using ingredients such as mushrooms, bean thread noodles and cilantro, but paired with mashed tofu.
The mixture is first steamed, then baked for a few minutes in the oven so the top is slightly golden and dried out. It's almost like a tofu pâté that can be enjoyed with rice and a bowl of canh (soup) on the side.

Pinquito Beans (+Giveaway)
I'm hooked on pinquito beans. They're much more refined than the more ordinary pinto or black beans, and like all beans, they are a great source of protein. They're perfect as a side dish to a good ol' steak or as a main course for vegetarians.
I received Susie Q Brand's Red Gadget Box which includes her most popular products. It makes a handy gift for the holidays, ideal for toting around your favorite kitchen tools. I used Maria Valley Style Seasoning for grilling steaks and glazed them with Suzie Q's sherry citrus rib glaze. I cooked the pinquito beans included in the package the same manner that my husband's late grandma Baji taught me. I prepared them in a masala curry gravy with Indian spices. I finished the bean dish by adding a smoky flavor using a few California red oak grilling chips. There is also a jar of salsa inside the Red Gadget Box; just serve it as a starter along with tortilla chips.
Susie Q's Brand is the original maker of artisan foods capturing the flavors of Santa Maria Style Barbeque. Even though it's winter time, you could cook everything indoors and experiment with grilling and barbeque skills. I had fun discovering the flavors and ingredients of the Santa Maria Valley, and if you want a chance to experience them yourself, just enter today's installment of the 25 Days of Giveaways for a chance to win. Susie Q's has also kindly extended a special offer to Pham Fatale readers - if you'd like to get a Susie Q product for yourself or to give as a gift, use promo code FATALE10 at www.susieqbrand.com for a 10% discount (valid till Christmas).
Make sure you're a fan of PhamFatale Facebook fan page and Susie Q Brand, or follow @Phamfatalecom and tweet about this giveaway. To make it easy, you can just copy and paste this tweet if you'd like: "Red Gadget Box #Giveaway from @Phamfatalecom and @susieqseasoning: http://bit.ly/sp4V7y".

This morning as I greeted students in their Carhartt coveralls coming into school with a "Happy Friday!", I received a "What? It's Friday?", a "No! I don't want it to be Friday!", and a "I'm going to die without school!"
Band meetings in the morning. The Slightly Undead Goats visited Coffee Bar.
Then it was back to work!
And reading.
Our first Expression phase is coming to a quick close with only three days of school next week, so there was a big rush to work on unfinished furniture and sectioning out spaces in Kid City.
Audrey wrote, "I played and made a counter."
Other projects continued, too.
"Today I started building my house/store. I also crocheted," Zada wrote.

Quinn wrote about his day, "Today my band group went to a market and got some snacks. Two new kids came to visit for the day. Today I also learned how to use the jig saw, and got better and better."
When the collaborators told everyone that there was a four-day weekend this weekend, the cries of "NOOOO!!!" vastly overruled the only halfhearted hoorays. What other kind of school gets that kind of response?

In Karate, we usually concentrate on learning to generate power. We talk about one inch punches and devastating striking power.
But of equal, if not greater importance, is developing control -- the ability to accurately control where and how hard we hit. From a self defense perspective, we have to be able to use the level of power that is appropriate for the situation. Defending against a knife weilding attacker is different than defending against an unruly child, and the power we would use would differ accordingly.
It is especially important for us to develop control in the context of our dojo training. We must be careful not to injure our training partners. Otherwise, we would soon run out of partners. An uke is defenseless and must rely on the nage's control.
Therefore, it is important to practice control. Examples of this include striking pieces of paper and cloth. In one school I attended, we would attach a sheet of paper to the wall with a single piece of tape at the top. We would practice striking the paper to make it fly off the wall. Of course, you have to be very careful. We would often hit the wall and hurt our knuckles.
I also used to practice kicking clothes pins. I would put a couple of dozen clothes pins on the line, and go down the line kicking each one. At one point, I could pretty accurately kick a person's ear lobes... really.
With proper control training, it is possible to control the depth of a strike: to hit the skin, flesh, or even the bones. We used to say that we should practice hitting people lightly and practice hitting the makiwara and heavy bag hard.
When we are the sensei, out students might be reluctant to complain when we hit them a bit too hard. It is especially important for instructors and assistants to be aware of how hard and where they strike students and to exercise great care. The students will learn by their example.
A good Karate person has power but all great Karate people have control.
Because it is difficult, if not impossible, to gauge the control of visitors, I usually will not allow them to make contact in my dojo.

text: OL Donnell Stanley of Latta came up a game short in his quest for a state baseball championship Friday when his Vikings lost to St. Joseph's in the 1A title game. While involved in the baseball playoffs, Stanley basically put his football recruiting on the back burner even though numerous coaches came to see him him school and in games. He did not participate in spring football practice. Now, recruiting will move to the forefront with several visits coming up this summer. Stanley had planned to visit USC this past Saturday but after Friday's game, which was played in Columbia, he didn't feel like returning. But he will come back to USC in June according to his adviser Chris German. "He hasn't toured the entire campus yet, so he'll do that in June," German said. Stanley will go to Alabama for a half-day camp July 14th and will go to Ohio State July 26th. He's also going to Ole Miss and Florida State in July, and Germain feels he'll visit Clemson as well. Stanley will start to narrow his list this week. "I would say USC, Clemson, Alabama, North Carolina, Ohio State, Ole Miss and Florida State will be on the short list," German said. There is no favorite and Stanley plays to have a decision in September or October. This spring USC was by twice to watch baseball playoff games and Clemson was in for a practice. North Carolina, LSU, Central Florida, Ohio State and Alabama also were thru the school.

December 7 17
Delayed deliveryI ordered 2 items on Saturday 2nd Dec. I've just learned that the items were posted on Wednesday 7th Dec. It was the date I sent an email to find out why the items were not delivered yet so I assume they were posted only when I chased Brumersbikes. I choose 2nd class delivery by post so I didn't expect my items to be delivered withing 1-2 days but it took Brumersbikes 5 days (3 working days) to post them. Way too long I think. The good thing is they replied to my email but so far it is the only positive comment I can make. Update on my comment: Brumersbikers apparently cancelled my order without even notifying me about this. Although they return my money to my account I lost over 10 days waiting for my item, not being aware the order had been cancelled with no reason given or any notification. I believe it was done as a 'punishment' for my initial comment. I also received an email from Brumersbikers, after posting my initial comment, where they criticised me for posting an honest and factual comment. I live a decision to fellow customers whether to use Brumersbikers service...Maciej

The Changes At Summer Campstevejb68 on July 14, 2012 in camping, News, summer camp
I did not go along with the Boy Scouts of Melrose Troop 68 when they left for their weeklong stay at Many Point Scout Camp on Sunday, July 8th. The boys and the camp were on my mind all week though. I sort of missed being up there with the troop during their summer camp adventure so on Friday, July 13th, I took a day of vacation from work and spent it at MPSC.
I left home at about 8:00 in the morning. I planned to arrive at camp while the Scouts were at their merit badge sessions. I would join them for lunch and their afternoon activities. I even thought about staying long enough to watch the closing campfire in the evening. I did not plan to stay overnight. I purposely left my sleeping bag and cot at home so I would not be tempted.
I arrived at MPSC shortly after 10:00 am. By 10:30 I walked into the Seton campsite of the Buckskin Camp to find assistant scoutmaster Eymard busy in the screen porch reading a novel he had brought along. I took a few pictures around the campsite and sat down for an update of how the week was going. We were the only two people in camp. It was very peaceful.
I had noticed a new building under construction across the road from our campsite. We got up from our chairs and Eymard lead the way to what would be the new Buckskin Handicrafts Lodge. The shell of the building was complete but it still needed siding, screening, and interior finishing. The new building was somewhat larger than the old building which was located about about four or five hundred yards south of the new site. This new lodge also had a basement which could be used as a storm shelter during inclement weather.
Eymard and I took a short walk to the Buckskin Lodge. I was shocked and surprised to see the two buildings (the lodge and the nearby trading post) had been remodeled into one large building. The lodge interior had been totally redesigned to create a larger meeting room, new staff office, and separate staff kitchen/dining room. I think I stood their for a moment with my mouth open as I walked into the lodge. It was no longer the building I had known for the last 25 years, but I liked the way they had remodeled the area. I had know about the new Handicrafts building, but the lodge was a complete surprise.
One new feature of the Buckskin Lodge caught my attention almost immediately and brought home how our lifestyles have changed over the last decade. The small mail cubicles for each campsite had been replaced by new larger cubicles, each having its own electrical outlet for adult leaders to plug in their cell phone chargers and other electronic devices. I was told this was a suggestion from Granny, the camp's chief cook, who had seen a lot of devices plugged in at the dining hall over the last few years. She thought there must be a better way, so the staff came up with a great solution.
One of the troop's Boy Scouts was at the trading post when Eymard and I walked in. Eymard decided to go back to the campsite so Alex said he would take me to the other new addition to Buckskin Camp.
A few years ago Many Point closed the old conservation lodge so it could be used for a new purpose. A yurt was erected in Buckskin to serve as the Nature Center. A new permanent nature lodge is now under construction near the yurt. It looks like this new building will also have a basement that will be able to serve as a storm shelter. The yurt may become a small zoo of local critters found in the area.
These new changes have me already thinking that I will need to pay the troop a visit next year when they attend Many Point Scout Camp. I want to see how everything turns out and what, if any, new programs will be provided.

Internships are an excellent opportunity for students interested in pursuing a career in politics or government. Internships are offered in the District 11 offices in Washington, Midland, San Angelo and Llano. Our interns help staff with a variety of duties. Their primary roles are to handle mail and assist with phones.They also help compile research, conduct Capitol tours, write legislative correspondence, attend committee hearings, gather news clippings, assist with management of the constituent database, and assist with scheduling requests. Duties will vary according to offices.
Besides the above listed office duties, my staff works with interns to involve them in the educational opportunities available in Congress and Washington, D.C. For instance, the intern coordinator will keep interns aware of lectures and seminars taking place in and around the Capitol. We also coordinate tour activities for interns while they are in Washington.
In the district, interns can expect to gain an understanding of how representatives can help citizens with federal issues. Students will be exposed to casework inquries, policy discussions, and the latest news in Washington. Students will also be given the opportunity to work in the field with congressional staff.
I offer internships from September through December, January through May, and through the summer. In the summer my office will typically offer three, four-week sessions, one starting the middle of May and lasting through the middle of June, one from mid-June to mid-July, and the third from mid-July to mid-August. The deadlines for submitting applications are:
These are unpaid internships, and interns are responsible for their own housing. My staff will be happy to make housing suggestions. Additionally, my intern coordinator is very willing to work with college professors and interested students to design a specific internship that will fit both the office's needs and the student's needs.
Thank you again for your interest. For those interested, please send me a cover letter with a résumé, references and the linked intern application.
For an internship in Washington, D.C., contact Lyssa Bell at (202) 225-3605 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
For an internship in Midland, San Angelo and Llano, contact Corbette Padilla at (432) 687-2390 or send my office an email.

There have been two major themes for stock market investors this year: Performance has petered out from last year, and a correction may be on the way.
The S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.95% has returned 7% this year through Thursday. That might seem lousy when compared with the 32% return (with reinvested dividends) during 2013, but it's on pace to beat the historical average by a wide margin. (That's not to say it will, of course.)
The strongest S&P 500 sector this year has been Utilities, up 17%, as a number of large players have agreed to pay significant takeout premiums to enlarge their regulated distribution businesses. Regulated electric and natural gas distribution has been a far safer play than commodity-driven wholesale and trading activities.
The S&P 500 Energy sector is up 13%, with Oil & Gas Equipment and Services rising 28%, Oil & Gas Storage and Transportation up 25% and Oil & Gas Exploration up 22%. We drilled down into the S&P 1500 Composite last week to identify five cheap energy stocks that were lagging sector competitors, while revisiting a previous and more conservative list that has done quite well since being highlighted in early May.
But all is not rosy.
The decision by the Obama administration to lift a four-decade ban on U.S. exports of crude oil is another boost for oil producers, but is a bitter pill for refiners, which have suffered from soft domestic oil prices. The S&P 500 Oil & Gas Refining and Marketing subsector is up only 2% this year.
The weakest S&P 500 sector so far this year has been Retailing, which we explored in depth in 12 bargain-bin stocks to buy low. We also recently considered the potential to make money by taking long positions in heavily shorted stocks, including three retail names.
Then there are the ubiquitous warnings of a coming market correction, which could come true, as the S&P 500 Index continues to set records. For one thing, equity prices have been supported for many years by an expanding money supply thanks to global central banks.
The Federal Reserve plans to finish winding down its "QE3" bond purchases by the end of the year. By the middle of 2015, most economists expect the Fed to make another major policy change, which is to allow the short-term federal funds rate to rise from its current target range of zero to 0.25%, where it has been locked since late 2008. There will be plenty of pressure on equity pries as the central bank begins to trim its bloated balance sheet.
Another thing to consider is price-to-earnings valuation. The S&P 500 trades for 14.8 times aggregate 2015 earnings estimates among analysts polled by FactSet. That's up from a forward P/E ratio of 13.1 a year ago, and the forward P/E for the index hasn't been this high since 2007.
Here are the 10 S&P 500 stocks with the highest total returns so far this year:
There are three oil and gas names among the top 10. The remarkable increase in U.S. oil and natural gas continues, driving revenue and profit increases for many companies. Rising oil and gas prices have also helped, driven in part by uncertainty in Iraq and Ukraine.
Here's a rundown about each of the 10 best performers among S&P 500 stocks this year:
Newfield Exploration Co. US:NFX is the top S&P 500 performer this year, although it has the worst five-year total return among this group.
The company's first-quarter revenue rose 49% to $553 million, while net income from continuing operations came in at $24 million, or 17 cents a share, improving from a loss of $25 million, or 19 cents, a year earlier. The company recently sold its oil business in Malaysia, and is in the midst of divesting its operations in China. Newfield is expanding its operations in the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma, the Uinta Basin in Utah and the Williston Basin in North Dakota.
Nabors Industries Ltd. NBR, +8.91% is an oil driller that also provides various services to manage oil wells through their entire life cycles. The shares trade for 15 times the consensus 2015 earnings estimate of $1.93, among analysts polled by FactSet. That's the lowest forward P/E ratio among the 10 winners listed here.
The stock rose 6% Thursday after Nabors announced an agreement to merge its well-completion and production business with C&J Energy Services Inc. US:CJES
Forest Laboratories Inc. US:FRX is one of two pharmaceutical companies on the top 10 list. The five-year total return for the stock is 296%, which compares with a return of 137% for the S&P 500.
The stock rose 28% on Feb. 18 after the company agreed to be acquired by Actavis PLC ACT, +1.05% for $25 billion in cash and stock. The deal, when announced, was valued at $89.40 a share for a premium of 25%. That sets a floor for the stock, assuming the deal is completed.
Keurig Green Mountain Inc. US:GMCR is up 60% this year, and the stock's stellar five-year return of 547% is second-highest on this list.
Highlights for Keurig this year have included a 10-year agreement with Coca-Cola Co. KO, +1.06% through which the companies will collaborate on the new Keurig Gold "at-home beverage system." That pushed Keurig's shares up 26% on Feb. 6.
The stock rose 13% on May 8 after Keurig Green Mountain reported a 10% increase in net sales for the 13-week period ended March 29 to $1.1 billion, with an 18% increase in EPS to $1.03.
Electronic Arts Inc. EA, +0.66% rose 21% on May 7, after the console and mobile game maker reported a 21% increase in cash flow from operations to $281 million. For all of fiscal 2014, which ended March 31, net cash provided by operating activities more than doubled to $712 million, allaying investor fears.
EA also estimated adjusted net revenue for 2015 would grow 2% to $4.10 billion. The company expects, on a GAAP basis, to earn $2.37 a share in 2015, compared with only 3 cents in 2014.
Allergan Inc. AGN, +2.08% is the maker of Botox. The stock has been very much "in play" this year, with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. US:VRX making multiple unsolicited takeout offers.
Allergan continues to resist Valeant's marriage entreaties, and there was speculation over the past week that it could attempt a major acquisition of its own to fend off the advances.
Williams Companies Inc. WMB, +1.41% runs natural gas pipelines and also provides various other transportation, development and production services to other companies.
The company on June 15 announced an agreement purchase half of general partner interest in Access Midstream Partners LP US:ACMP and half of limited partner interest in ACMP for $6 billion in cash. After the deal is completed, Williams will own all of the general partner interest in ACMP and half of the LP interest.
The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter, after which Williams plans to raise its quarterly dividend to 56 cents from 43 cents. Based on the current payout and Thursday's closing price of $58.10, the shares have a dividend yield of 2.96%.
The deal is being partially funded by a $3 billion common offering that was completed June 23.
Micron Technology Inc. MU, +0.62% is up 47% this year and the stock has returned a remarkable 527% over the past five years. The semiconductor manufacturer has the advantage of providing memory in PCs as well as in mobile phones, tablets and other portable devices.

SanDisk Corp. US:SNDK is the other semiconductor manufacturer on this list, and its stock has been the best performer over the past five years, with a total return of 599%. The company makes memory products for use in a wide variety of consumer and enterprise devices.
The company on June 16 announced a deal to acquire Fusion-io Inc. US:FIO for $1.1 billion in cash, net of cash assumed. SanDisk will make a tender offer of $11.25 a share, a 21% premium to Fusion-io's closing price of $9.28 on June 13. The merger is expected to be completed during the third quarter.
SanDisk CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in the press release announcing the agreement that the addition of Fusion-io would "accelerate our efforts to enable the flash-transformed data center, helping companies better manage increasingly heavy data workloads at a lower total cost of ownership."
Last among the 10 S&P 500 winners for the first half of 2014 is Pepco Holdings Inc. US:POM an electric utility, which agreed on April 30 to be acquired by Exelon Corp. EXC, +0.48% for $27.25 a share, a 24% premium.

Twin Cities drivers got a slow-motion and ugly reminder Monday of what winter driving can bring.
A dusting of snow as the morning rush hour began led to a sudden coat of ice on metro-area streets and highways, turning what might have been an easy Veterans Day commute into a calamity of collisions and miles-long traffic tie-ups.
Roads should be clear and dry on Tuesday and remain so through the week amid steadily rising temperatures. Even Monday afternoon's rush hour went smoothly.
But that was after more than 50 crashes were reported during the morning commute, said State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske. Most occurred at the tops and bottoms of ramps where motorists could not stop, he said, but mainline highways, freeways and local thoroughfares had their share, too. No injuries were reported among the 50 accidents, the Patrol said.
On the steep Ramsey Street hill west of downtown St. Paul, a demolition derby of sorts took place, with at least a half-dozen crashes. In Minneapolis, a Metro Transit bus went sideways and blocked several lanes of southbound Interstate 35W south of downtown for about an hour. Twitter was awash with reports of spinouts and crawling lines of vehicles, and motorists lashing out at the Minnesota Department of Transportation for not reacting sufficiently to the icy conditions.
Most observers across the metro area measured less than a quarter-inch of snow, said state climatologist Greg Spoden. But as cars drove over the snow, it compacted and melted slightly, then refroze because the pavement surface and air temperatures were below freezing.
On Ramsey Hill, Kristin Rasmussen woke up to see six or seven crashes. She said it was one of the worst scenes she has seen there. City street crews didn't respond, and Rasmussen said a police officer handing out forms to accident victims told one "you are on your own."
That left the task of making the road passable to neighbors, who bought ice melter at a hardware store to spread on the street, and cleared a driving lane with shovels.
Snow 'flash froze'
City spokesman David Hunt said a "snow squall" hit the southern half of St. Paul, which includes Ramsey Street, and it "came down fast, compacted quickly and flash froze."
"We had our street supervisor out about 6:30 a.m. driving the streets and didn't see any issues," Hunt said. "You go eight months without having your winter driving hat on and these things happen."
In Minneapolis, nine trucks were out putting salt down on the streets. Had the snow fallen after Dec. 1, there would have been 40 trucks ready to roll, but most are still involved in leaf-clearing, said Mike Kennedy, city street maintenance supervisor.
Kennedy said he heard criticism that his department appeared unaware of the forecast, but the forecast called only for flurries.
"It's a timing issue," said Mike Chapman, of the University Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., who examined readings from Minnesota roadside weather monitors on Monday. The time of day and the fact that it was early in the season were a bad combination, Chapman said.
'It doesn't take much'
The light, fluffy snow began falling around 7 a.m. and quickly intensified as it moved over the metro area. It was the first measurable amount of the season, and the subfreezing temperatures allowed it to accumulate on the roads. Drivers packing it down only made things worse.
"Any kind of snow that is more than flurries can cause problems," said National Weather Service meteorologist Chris Franks. "It doesn't take much."
The long-term average first date of the Twin Cities' first 1-inch snowfall is Nov. 18. Last year it came on Nov. 19, as part of a 3-inch snowfall, which turned out to be the second-heaviest of the winter.
Although scores of drivers criticized MnDOT on Twitter, saying they didn't see any trucks treating the roads, the agency dispatched crews as needed, said department spokesman Kent Barnard.
"Weather is hard to predict; this was not a surprise," Barnard said. "If we have a threat of snow, we start calling in crews. We take no chances with public safety."
Trucks were on the roads by 7 a.m., but they could only move as fast as traffic, which was at a snail's pace, Barnard said.
He said the conditions would not have deteriorated so quickly if chemicals had been applied to the roads earlier this season and had a chance to build up on the pavement.
Two days after two tornadoes
The snow fell less than two days after the Twin Cities saw a record high temperature of 69, followed by two small tornadoes in Dakota County.
Some folks there were puzzled as to why they heard no sirens warning of tornadoes over the weekend. While Dakota County officials couldn't be reached during the government holiday Monday, a National Weather Service meteorologist said that his colleagues in Chanhassen never issued a warning that would trigger such sirens.
"It was one of those cases where a line of storms moves through, a little tornado spins up quickly and is gone as quickly," Jacob Beitlich said. "The cycling time for our scans is four to five minutes, but these things can come and go in 90 seconds to two minutes. And the storm itself didn't have a history of severe weather."
Even so, he said, "No storm without a warning is our end goal, so plenty of people will look at this case by way of further research."

Inspired by the Celtic saying 'Time between times' I sought to explore the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep. During this phase, countless mental phenomena can be experienced, including lucid dreaming, hallucinations and sleep paralysis. Using digital technology I have attempted to frame these sensations by constructing a surrealistic portrayal of the human form suspended within a loophole of time and space; of dreamscapes and reality. My work endeavours to both accentuate and distort the thresholds of unconsciousness – alluding to humanity's futile attempts to comprehend the intangible realm that exists beyond.

This monograph is the fifth of a series of five monographs dealing with Japan's political and military strategy from the time of the Manchurian Incident to the outbreak of the Pacific War.
The information contained herein was compiled by Rear Admiral Sadatoshi Tomioka, former Chief of Operational Section, Imperial General Headquarters, from official documents as well as from private records.
Additional monographs covering Japanese political and military strategy during this period are:
Title Mono No Political Strategy Prior to the Outbreak of War, Part I 144 Political Strategy Prior to the Outbreak of War, Part II 146 Political Strategy Prior to the Outbreak of War, Part III 147 Political Strategy Prior to the Outbreak of War, Part IV 150
15 August 1953
Through Instructions No. 126 to the Japanese Government, 12 October 1945, subject: Institution for War Records Investigation, steps were initiated to exploit military historical records and official reports of the Japanese War Ministry and Japanese General Staff. Upon dissolution of the War Ministry and the Japanese General Staff, and the transfer of their former functions to the Demobilization Bureau, research and compilation continued and developed into a series of historical monographs.
The paucity of original orders, plans and unit journals, which are normally essential in the preparation of this type of record, most of which were lost or destroyed during field operations or bombing raids rendered the task of compilation most difficult; particularly distressing has been the complete lack of official strength reports, normal in AG or G3 records. However, while many of the important orders, plans and estimates have been reconstructed from memory and therefore are not textually identical with the originals, they are believed to be generally accurate and reliable.
Under the supervision of the Demobilization Bureau, the basic material contained in this monograph was compiled and written in Japanese by former officers, on duty in command and staff units within major units during the period of operations. Translation was effected through the facilities of Military Intelligence Service Group, G2, Headquarters, Far East Command.
This Japanese Operational Monograph was rewritten in English by the Japanese Research Division, Military History Section, Headquarters, Army Forces Far East and is based on the translation of the Japanese original.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — There were 64 ballplayers in the Rockies' spring training clubhouse at Salt Rivers Fields Wednesday morning. Some of them — Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez, Michael Cuddyer and Nolan Arenado — are big-league stars and household names.
Most of them — guys like catcher Matt McBride, right-handed pitcher Chris Martin and outfielder Jason Pridie — are known only to hardcore baseball fans. Some of them have spent a little time in the majors, some of them none at all. Some of them will never make it to the show.
That doesn't diminish the players' immense talents. Every time I come to spring training and watch the players take infield and hit in the batting cages, I realize how special a player must be just to get invited to a big-league camp.
Which brings me to a terrific book I've been reading by best-selling sports writer John Feinstein, author of the classics "A Good Walk Spoiled" and "A Season on the Brink."

Deere introduced three new tillage machines, offering industry firsts, this fall in Ankeny, IA.
The new 2700 Mulch Ripper mulches, shatters and levels soil in a single pass and can be adjusted for specific crop conditions and to vary the amount of residue.
v The front mulching disk maintains a consistent depth (maximum depth to 4 in.) and provides an industry exclusive Hydraulic Down Force pres-sure system, which allows for unmatched following capability over uneven terrain.
v The single point depth control (SPDC) adjustment allows the operator to easily set depth across the entire tool. Front discs are individually mounted instead of ganged for better residue flow; optional C springs help maintain a consistent depth and flex (instead of break) if the discs hit rocks.
v The ripper section offers spacing options of 5 standards on 30 in. (which can be converted to 7 on 24 in.), and 7 standards on 30 in. (which can be converted to 9 on 24 in.).
v The final tillage section features the company's TruPosition rear conditioner, mounted with 300-lb. trip standards (each ripper shank has two blades covering each ripper trench), which hydraulically adjusts for a smooth profile or adjusts to leave small ridges and valleys for wet or windy conditions. LaserRip ripper points are 2 3/4, 5, 7 or 10 in. to help fracture soil and break out the compacted layer or zone.
Front and rear discs feature maintenance-free disc bearings; they have only 17 grease zerks compared with 92 to 100 grease zerks on competitors' models. Circle 224.
The 2400 Chisel Plow makes its way through heavy residue and rough terrain, due to a new floating hitch, AccuDepth controls and TruPosition standards.
v The hitch tongue is connected to the plow frame at two points, allowing the machine to follow the terrain independently of the tongue or tractor drawbar.
v AccuDepth controls primary and intermediate depths and side-to-side leveling from the cab; it's standard on five-section implements.
v The 2400 is available in 10- to 64-ft. widths. The four-bar frame consists of two 35-in. sections for soil and residue mixing, and one 58-in. section for residue flow. Circle 225.
Break up cloddy soil and improve seed-to-soil contact in the spring with the all-new 200 Seedbed Finisher, available in three- and five-section models in widths from 20 to 45 ft.
v Heavy, 4x4 double-truss tube frame on wing sections add strength and offer higher stress points.
v Rolling baskets feature Duraflex bearings for longevity, strength and reliability. Duraflex triple-lip seals keep sand or dust out of the bearing housing to eliminate locking or seizing of bearings.
v The bar basket has a web design strong enough to take an impact in the field and allows soil to flow through.
v The adjustable long John tongue lets you create a desired turning radius or eases hookup with the pull of a drawbar pin. Circle 226.

Jupiter's Comet Collision Sites As Seen in Visible and Ultraviolet Light
This comparison of visible light (blue) and far-ultraviolet (FUV) images of Jupiter taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera-2 (WFPC-2) on NASA's Hubble Space Telescope show how the appearance of the planet and of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact sites differ at these two wavelengths (1400-2100 and 3100-3600 Angstroms). The images taken 20 minutes apart on July 17,1994 (around 19:00 UT), show the impact sites on the southern hemisphere, from left to right, of comet fragments C, A, and E, about 12, 23, and 4 hours after each collision. Jupiter's satellite 10 is seen crossing above the center of the disk, and the famous Great Red Spot is near the eastern limb.

BRISTOL, R.I. – Led by Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, Calif.) and Patsy Boland (Chicago, Ill.) volleyball pulled off perhaps the biggest upset of the 2013 season as they defeated 26th ranked Roger Williams University by the score of 3-1 Friday evening.
With the victory the Beacons improve their overall record to 18-14 with only two matches remaining in the 2013 season. For the Hawks Friday's loss marked only the third of the year as they fell to 27-3 overall.
UMass Boston handled one of the top ranked teams in New England from start to finish. The Beacons defeated the Hawks 25-22 in the first game, before cruising to a 25-17 win in the second. In the third, the Beacons jumped out to a commanding lead, but could not hold onto it as the Hawks clawed their way back to earn a 25-20 decision. Not looking to make the match any longer then it needed to be UMass pounded point after point in the fourth and eventually walked off the court with a 25-17 win to secure the non-conference victory.
For the Beacons Porter and Boland each threw down a team-leading 10 kills, with Boland also recorded a .261 hitting percentage. Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) also played a major part in the win with her nine kills, as well as Julia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) who recorded eight kills.
Setter Megan Pollock (Wilton, Calif.) put together another strong performance as she finished with 35 assists and one of the Beacons nine aces. Christine DuPuis (Minden, Nev.), Pepper Baker (Tallahassee, Fla.) and Murphy each finished with two aces to keep the Beacons rolling on the scoreboard.
Not only was the offense on all cylinders, but the Beacons defense did their part as well with a combined eight team blocks and total of 70 digs. Elizabeth Glavan (Edina, Minn.) was one of four Beacons to finish with 10 or more digs as she record 18 on the night. Behind her was Porter with 12 to earn the senior another double-double. At the net Murphy recorded one solo block and three block assists.
Volleyball returns to action tomorrow when they face the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh at 11 a.m. followed by a 3 p.m. match with Vassar College. Both matches will be played at Vassar in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
