The University of Nebraska at Omaha Men's Soccer team traveled up to Ann Arbor, Michigan on Oct. 14 for an intense matchup with the No. 24 ranked Michigan Wolverines.
Both teams came out in the first half with a lot of energy, but the Mavericks took an early 1-0 lead in the 38th minute off the foot of freshman forward Diego Gutierrez – his first goal of the season. UNO's defense managed to fend off the Wolverines' relentless offensive attack for the rest of the first period and went into halftime up 1-0.
Michigan's aggressive offense carried over into the second period where they were able to tie it up 1-1 in the 60th minute. The goal was scored off the head of their freshman forward Mohammed Zakyi, he was assisted by midfielder Marc Ybarra.
Michigan and UNO continued to battle throughout the rest of the second period but the score was still 1-1 at the end of the first 90 minutes, so they headed into overtime. Both the Mavs and Wolverines continued to apply offensive pressure but neither could manage to come away with a goal in the first 10-minute overtime.
With the score still tied 1-1, both teams looked to end the match with a golden goal. UNO's Elvir Ibisevic got off a good shot in the 104th minute but Michigan's goalie, Henry Mashburn, had an even better save. About a minute later a foul was called on the Mavs and gave Michigan a free kick that they took advantage of. In the 105th minute, Zakyi came away with his second goal of the afternoon and won the match for the Wolverines off a nice assist from Tristan Jacob.
UNO left Ann Arbor with a tough loss but look to add to the win column on Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. when they face Western Illinois at home. The Mavericks will try to get their first Summit League conference win this year after two draws earlier this season.

2015 North American Flyboard Championship
2015 North American Flyboard Championship
New Rules, New Format… New Strategy?
I have witnessed a huge progression from my first taste of competitive Flyboarding at the 2013 Flyboard World Cup in Doha, Qatar to last December's X Dubai Flyboard World Cup. The athletes have raised the bar with each competition and not just by unleashing on the world the next BIG trick but by working on expanding their trick repertoire, combinations, improving their execution, strategy and increasing their endurance and energy levels for the longer rounds.
In Dubai I had many important conversations with the people closest to our sport and listened carefully to the feedback and thoughts they had. I flew home with notes and a sense of urgency that change was needed to ensure our top hydroflight athletes have great experiences win or lose.
After gathering much feedback via many different channels I organized it and prepared to present it to Zapata Racing. At the same time I began working with the 2015 North American Flyboard Championship organizers who were just as committed as I to acting on the feedback from our community. Guided by the Flyboard community we worked hard and developed new rules, a new scoring and judging structure and a new competition format. We then worked with Franky and his Zapata Racing team to iron out the final details and I am confident that the athletes who descend on Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana on June 4th, 5th and 6th will be very pleased with our work and feel they can focus 100% on their flying.
I am certainly not claiming perfection here as it is always important to share, learn and improve as we move forward but at least I can say we listened and we took action. Bounce to this page to read our event rules and please use the comments here for your feedback and ideas.
2015 North American Flyboard Championship Strategy
We are confident that each of the three divisions Veteran, Ladies, and Professional will be competitive and exciting and so the thoughts I share below are not aimed at any one particular group of athletes but for everyone.
With so many significant changes to our scoring, judging, rules and format it really means that even seasoned competitors who've battled in the previous World and N.A Championships need to rethink how they approach Louisiana. Every change is competitor friendly so that's great but there are details that need to be understood in order to qualify for the competition and once there succeed.
Again, I'm not going to get into the nitty gritty details here, you can read those on our event rules page but I will highlight the keys to success as I see it.
2015 North American Flyboard Championship Qualifying Round
1) FIVE TRICKS: The Qualifying Round is serious business and you MUST plan out and submit five different tricks (single or combos) that:
A) Exceed a base point total of 28 (refer to the Trick Value sheet on the event rules page)
B) Are difficult enough to produce a score that gives you a chance at the Top 32.
C) Are not so difficult that you can't stomp them 95% of the time. (add nerves to that and the percentage goes down)
1 minute and 30 seconds is not a long time to set up five tricks. My math ain't great but I'm getting 18 seconds per trick. So practice with a timer and ensure that you can set up and execute in the allotted time. One or two extra circles to set yourself could make all the difference. So yes you can throw your five tricks in any order you wish but I myself would still choreograph the run. I would do that to ensure I don't have a brain fart and forget whether I did or didn't do a trick and also to perfect the flow between tricks so I make it as easy as possible to transition thus saving time and not feeling as rushed.
* Bonus: Don't go so crazy with your 30 second warm up that you end up in recovery mode when the double horn blast fires and your real time starts.
No more saying… I can't believe these two guys have to battle so early in the competition. We are moving to a points system so the entire field battles it out in an attempt to put up their best score with the top half moving on to the next round. No more holding back as you size up a single battle round competitor. Louisiana will be our first opportunity to really see how the top Pro Flyboarders in the world compare to each other from round to round. Yes your Qualifying Round is very important but it will not lead us down a path where we have to witness two top five riders in the world take each other out early.
The new judging and scoring system will also create a much more transparent experience for the competitors as we all begin to better understand how runs are scored and what value is being put on what trick or combo. (See Trick Values listed at the bottom of our Rules Page) So here are few more things to think about once you're past the Qualifying Round:
A) Repetition will kill me. Competitors you only receive points for a trick twice in a round. This means that your third, fourth and fifth single backflip without comboing them differently are a waste of your time. I know this will be a big challenge for some competitors, even guys who have flown in our previous championship events, because ever since Franky first flew on his new invention the backflip was the trick to learn and master. This is still the first real trick 99% of recreational flyers put the time in to learn but in 2015 at the professional level riddling your competitive run with standalone single backflips will be the fastest way to end your event.
B) How high am I actually? I have heard this a number of times from guys who watch their video footage back and say wow, I thought I was much higher than that on that trick. Because the height at which you execute certain tricks is an element that affects every judge both on the Trick Scoring side and Overall Impression. If you nail your run but your competitors are flying 10 or 12 feet consistently higher than you the scoring may not go in your favor. The other area that height affects is 'cleanliness' of your landings. Judges have been very forgiving to date with boards hitting the water on landings but in Dubai everyone, flyers, spectators and judges started to really appreciate and value flying out of tricks cleanly above the water's surface.
C) Speed and Aggression verus Risk Taking. Since the 2013 World Cup Franky's pre-event speech about not flying 'dangerously' was interpreted as not taking risks but then we learned what that really meant was flying aggressively scores really well if you're deemed to be in control. If your EMK control is all over the place and your unsteady between and during tricks then taking risks is judged to be dangerous and the scoring represents that. However, when we saw two very evenly matched athletes battle head-to-head it was the speed and aggressiveness with which one of the competitors flew that moved them on to the next round.
What this says to me is that your trick execution is very important but if your transitions and trick set up feel 'casual' you may see a lower score than a competitor who is landing similarly difficult tricks but is ripping in between them. I guess this is where stamina and strength come into play.
D) How to Maximize Your Never-before-seen trick. First as written in the rules:
If a flyer is knowingly bringing a new trick to the competition, he or she may request a confidential meeting with the judges via the "Flyer Liaison" (Flyer Liaison will be identified no less than 30 days before the competition) to explain the trick and to have a point value pre-assigned prior to the competition. This will allow the judges and the flyer, in conjunction with, other input if needed, to determine the trick's value prior to it being shown in competition. This meeting is to occur prior to the qualifying run and must be requested when the "Five Trick Cards" are being turned in. If the flyer chooses not to disclose the trick, the flyer then by proxy, accepts the point value assigned by the judges during their run and forfeits their right to appeal based on this particular element.
So, if you plan on unleashing your 1080 to Double Dragon combo on us (not a real name by the way) and want to ensure the judges have a full appreciation for the complexities and difficulty of the trick you are going to want to request the confidential meeting when submitting your five trick card. Make sure you get a chance to work through the tricks point value with them and then you'll at least know how beneficial your new trick could be to your run.
So, with all that said good luck to each and every competitor. I am really looking forward to seeing you all fly and bringing your hard work back to H2RO Magazine for our global community to celebrate and share.
Watch for an upcoming article contributed by event organizer Gretchen Vance regarding rider safety and equipment plus H2RO will be releasing more videos to set the stage for Shreveport. Also take a moment to look over our Flyboard Trick Names page and I'm sure you've likely got some new names to share with us in the comments.
See you in 31 days,

• 2nd May 2011 • Blog Post by Julian Hazeldine •
[Editors' note: Yes, we were (separately) away from our computers all weekend, and FORGOT to set up the Broadcast Discussion post in advance. Sorry. Seb will be along with a "Day of the Moon" review later in the week, but in the meantime, leave it to Julian to pop up once again and pick up the slack with the following post. It's INTERESTING. It's also massively spoilery, of course.]
The gripping conclusion to the opening story of Series Six leaves us loyal viewers with far more questions than answers. A stock take is clearly in order, and so we present Unlimited Rice Pudding's scorecard of the issues that matter. And a few that don't.
Is the young girl a Time Lady?
Looks like it; that's clearly a regeneration at the end of "Day of the Moon". However, that doesn't mean that she's ever set foot on Gallifrey…
Is Amy pregnant?
The readings which to Doctor obtains form the TARDIS give a simple answer of yes and no, with the readings figuring between both readings. This forces the rejection of the view that Amy's pregnancy was a mere belief induced by the first Silent that she spoke to in "The Impossible Astronaut." (By the way, this scene was an in-joke recreation of the fake "ninth Doctor survives" ending of "The Parting of the Ways", in which Eccleston used the TARDIS to subtly scan Rose for temporal radiation injuries.) On the hand, after three months on the run between the two instalments of the story, some physical signs would have become apparent.
There's clearly a more science-fiction explanation than a mistake on the part of Mrs Pond, but at the moment all we have are a mass of rather nebulous events without the chronological perspective to see the chain of events. The Silence clearly introduced the idea of pregnancy to Amy's mind, and hoped to profit from it in some way, but it's not clear what they did to introduced a "shadow" chain of events which cause the TARDIS to read Amy so ambiguously.
What happened in the nursery?
It's hard to talk about Amy's health without reflecting on the events in the orphanage. After Mrs Pond got over the shock of Steven Moffat putting his "Blink" hat on, she was surprised by a vision of a strange woman with a cybernetic implant on her eye. This then lead to her discovering a photo of herself holding a baby in the astronaut-girl's room. The girl herself and then the Silence entered, with the latter being so preoccupied by Amy that they allowed the young girl to make her escape. Amy was then held prisoner and endured some form of torture over five days, before her memory of the ordeal was wiped.
This is the big mystery that episode two of this series introduced. We're clearly meant to take away that the young girl is somehow the child whom Amy believed herself to be carrying, but there's precious little data to work with. Until the Doctor can make progress with his quiet investigation of events, there's little to conjure with.
What were the Silence up to?
We know a great deal about the abilities of the things in corner of your eye, but very little about their motivation. 1969 was clearly a busy year of humanity's unremembered masters, whose experiments on their abducted child created such headaches for them. After guiding the human race for thousands of years, it seems that the Silence were at last able to obtain meaningful help from their hosts, who were able to furnish them with useful technology. And what did they do with it?
The Silence's venture looks very much line an attempt to engineer their own pet Time Lord. As Russell T Davies established, the temporal senses and regenerative abilities displayed by the Doctor and his contemporaries were not Gallifreyian physiological traits, but a consequence of controlled exposure to the 'untemptered schism' on his home world. The Silence took the NASA spacesuit as their starting point in constructing a sophisticated survival exoskeleton for a human host. Looking at the consequences of their experiment, it seems a reasonable assumption that they them used this to protect a human they exposed to a similar source of temporal radiation, and keep her alive while her body adjusted to the changes. Eventually, she became fully time lord, and was able to break free from the suit.
How advanced is the Silence's time-travel tech?
This rather begs the question of why they used a human for their experiment. Why risk another species gaining the power of a time lord, even one they could so easily control? (Note that the girl's distress calls to Nixon only referred to "the spaceman" as her predator, so presumably the Silence's memory-redaction still affected here, despite repeat exposure to them.) Could there be some feature of their existence that would always put time-travel beyond them? I'm reminded of Scott Grey's sinister Threshold corporation from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine's comic strip, who were physically unable to travel in time. There's clearly more clarification to come here.
Similar questions could be asked over the Ersatz TARDIS, now established as the Silence's work. In "The Lodger", the Doctor only commented on the fake craft's desire to "leave", without specifying if this meant into time & space or only the latter. As seen in "The Pandorica Opens", time –travel technology is becoming more commonplace in the Whoniverse, but Moffat seems reluctant to confirm that the Silence actually possess it. Even minor trips into the near future would have given the Silence the knowledge to recognise a camera phone when shown it, but Carlton's prisoner seemed baffled by the nature of the device.
Who blew up the TARDIS in "The Pandorica Opens"?
The flashbacks to previously mentions of the Silence pointedly didn't repeat the mysterious voice heard in the console room in the finale of last year's season. If the Silence had to power to hack and destroy a TARDIS, then they should have posed much more of a threat to the Doctor, which suggests that they either have a backer, or there's a third party at work here.
River was unsurprised by the voice, which suggests that she knew entirely what she was dealing with from an event earlier in her life. As it stands, it looks like the melty-face-men have friends in high places, which we've yet to meet.
Who's the Daddy?
At several points during the story, the idea is very subtly raised that the Doctor might be the father of Amy's "phantom" pregnancy. She feels compelled to tell him before anyone else, and her pleas for help during her imprisonment are ambiguous enough to give Rory doubts as to where her heart really lies. There's also that awkward conversation in the TARDIS at the end of the story, where Amy wonders if the time she's spent travelling with the Doctor might have given her child alien characteristics, unconvincing passed off as her wondering on the effects of temporal radiation, etc. Moffat's clearly trying to tell us something here. To cap it all, the child which could be baby Pond has a rather striking volcano moment at the end of the episode…
The problem is that other than Amy's semi-serious attempt to proposition the Doctor at the end of "Flesh & Stone", the two friends have never looked like a couple. When Amy thought that the Doctor might be about to ask her to marry him in "The Pandorica Opens", her reaction was pure puzzlement.
There are two options here. The first is that Moffat is simply trying to sell us a dummy, directing attention away from the rather more sci-fi explanation for unnamed child's Time Lady abilities. The second is that the show runner had made good on his promise to ensure that "Amy's Choice", the only episode not referenced in the Series Five finale, had a sequel in the events of 2011. If Schrodinger's pregnancy stems from a parallel timeline, then what better place for it to arise then at this key moment in her life, where she finally chose the boy who waited over her raggedy doctor?
Are the Silence still with us?
Hard to say. The Doctor struck a key blow against them in 1969, and any human who watched the moon landing video will now attack them on sight. Unused to having to defend themselves, the Silence's ability to deal with hostility from their former slaves will be limited. However, our hero was overstating the prevalence of this footage, and it seems a bit optimistic that such a well-embedded race could be destroyed so easily. It's more likely that there are isolated pockets of the Silence still on Earth, exerting limited control over humanity, and biding their time until they can recover from their defeat.
What's in store for the Doctor?
Although the three months on the run have diverted Amy & Rory's attention from the events in Utah, it's important to remember that the blow struck against the Silence has not changed the course of history. Two hundred years down the line for the Doctor, he will send a summons to his younger self. He will then meet with his best friends at that point in his life, and lure them to be present as he is murdered by an unknown figure wearing the Silence's survival exoskeleton. There are two questions here. Why would the Doctor voluntarily surrender himself, and who's behind the suit's visor?
In addition, there's a few little niggles that we've all got in the back of our minds:
Remembrance of the Daleks
Last year, Moffat comments that we'd get the explanation for Amy's ignorance of the Daleks, despite their invasion of the planet in Series Four, at some point a significant way down the line. We're not there yet, but the introduction of a race with an almost-unlimited ability to rewrite human minds and memories feels like something of a stepping stone towards that goal.
Unfinished business in Leadworth
Most of the threads introduced during "The Eleventh Hour" were tied up during the events of "The Big Bang", but there are a couple of items outstanding. The weird date on Rory's hospital pass is looking more and more like a production error, and Moffat has stated that the shadowy figure watching young Amelia waiting for the Doctor's return was a plotline for the finale which he decided not to use. Doesn't mean he's telling the truth, of course…
Where did the US government get the magic bricks?
Carton builds the Doctor's prison in Area 51 using a previously-unintroduced substance, without a word as to where he acquired it. It's possible that the US government had the stuff lying around in Nevada, but it seems more likely that the Silence provided the technology. They'd want to keep the Doctor on ice until they could deal with him at their leisure, and the Doctor's dialogue suggests that Carlton was allowing himself to be manipulated as a ruse to lull the Silence into a false sense of security and allow Amy & Rory time to continue their investigation.
Who is River Song?
Doesn't feel like it matters so much now, does it?

> If Schrodinger's pregnancy stems from a parallel timeline,
Personally I like the phrase "Schrodinger's Brat" best…
MY HALF-HEARTED THEORY (by Anne Elk):
If the girl's regeneration at the end of DOTM is linked to and powered by the Doctor's TARDIS, then maybe the strain of supporting (and regenerating) two Time Lords at once is what causes it to explode in The Pandorica Opens?
Of course, the dates don't match, if she's regenerating in 1969 and the TARDIS explodes on 26 June 2010… so maybe it's a later 2010 regeneration of hers that causes it? Or maybe the Doctor at some point regenerates at the same moment as her in 1969 – a quick glance at Wikipedia suggests that the transition from Second to Third was broadcast that year, though it doesn't mention the in-story date.
But somehow I doubt this Moffat run will rely on events broadcast that long ago… OK, I'll stop there 'cause that theory's getting silly!
Someone's noticed that the nursery's background picture of the woman in a dress sorta looks like an upside-down Silent. Maybe Amy's child was born in that room, and the subliminal presence of the Silence in those paintings meant that when she left she forgot the birth and everything that had happened there. Maybe the sight of Cyborg Hatch Woman peering in at her is a memory that she did somehow retain from that period (but then, why's she on the opposite side of the door?)
Told you it was silly. I really doubt that dress picture detail is Significant: more likely it's either a coincidence or a cute touch on the part of the production designers.
As Flatmate says, until we see the Doctor himself learning more, there's not really enough to speculate with. But it's fun thinking up outlandish questions!
This article brings together enough clues that I started on a theory…
"a human they exposed to a similar source of temporal radiation"
"How advanced is the Silence's time-travel tech?"
"who's behind the suit's visor?"
Perhaps starting a regeneration and then interrupting it is a suitable source of temporal radiation. If the Silents have enough timetravel tech to send the spacesuit + contents (and at least one Silent to observe from a distance) to 2011, then the child could still be inside it, and she's not controlling it when it shoots the Doctor and exposes her to the radiation.
…but if this is the case, it still raises more questions.
How did they know to send the astronaut there/then? (They found out by chance while interrogating one of the companions during the skipped three months? They've been manipulating the Doctor for much longer?) And how/why did she go back to 1969 (or at least, to 6 months later)?
And none of this explains the Weird Shit in the children's home, or has anything to do with River.
When the Doctor asks the Silent who the girl is, why she's important and what she's for, there's a cunning cut away to a TV screen before the Doctor says "sorry guys but you're out of time". If that cut is not significant by the end of the year, I'll eat my fez.
Oh, and something has just struck me!
What's one of the first things the Doctor says in The End Of Time II after he regenerates from 10 to 11?
"I'm a girl!"

I'm excited to share part two of this interview with Tami Myer of MannaForMarriage.com. Once more, she graciously answers my questions, drawing from her thirty-plus years of marriage. As a bride-to-be, I so much appreciates her wisdom, and I hope that her words bless you as well.
Bride: Forgiveness is something couples must generously extend, but, of course, that's not always easy to do in the heat of the moment. What has helped you to be more forgiving as a wife?
Ruth Graham, the wife of Billy Graham, said that "a happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers." How true! Learning to forgive is a marriage essential.
In fact, pastor Ron Zappa says, "If you are having trouble in your relationship, I guarantee you're having trouble with forgiveness."*
I have had a lot to learn about forgiveness! One thing that I have come to realize is that the moment I sense that my heart has been offended, I must take action. My natural reaction is to sink down into my hurt, to feel it, and to hover over it solicitously. But that is a dangerous trap! I must act quickly to prevent an offended heart from becoming a deformed heart.
Here are a few key thoughts that I try to keep written across my mind:
1. A chance to forgive is a great opportunity! Forgiveness is perhaps the most powerful spiritual assault which we can hurl against the enemy. The opportunity to forgive is an opportunity to re-enact the gospel. I can advance the Kingdom of God in this moment, or I can walk into the enemy's snare. It is a God-enabled and God-reflecting privilege to forgive someone, and I am a fool if I harden my heart instead.
2. I do not have the right not to forgive. It is easy to resent the command to forgive. We feel that a burden has been unfairly dropped on us, and we chafe against it. It seems, in fact, that forgiving would be an injustice! But when we think this way, we are believing the lies of the enemy.
The truth is this: it is an injustice for God's people not to forgive. When we do not forgive, our spirits are demanding payment from someone when God has already paid in full. Insisting that someone still owes us after God has suffered severely for that person's wrongdoing, as well as for all of ours—this is a great injustice which God will not overlook. (See Matthew 6:15.)
3. Forgiving will always enrich me. Forgiving puts us in a spiritual posture which allows increased intimacy with Christ. When I do not forgive in my marriage, it is as if I am putting up walls around me, creating distance between my husband and myself. My defective sin nature tells me that these walls will protect me. But I know now that walls of bitterness will always entomb me.
Bitterness does not build healthy protection, but forgiveness does. Forgiveness shields me from the corrosive acid of resentment. Nothing a spouse says or does has the power to truly harm us (although those things can hurt!), but our own reactions of bitterness can poison our lives.
On the other hand, forgiving serves to heal me. How encouraging! When I forgive someone else's brokenness, some of my own brokenness is healed. How could I not see the opportunity to forgive as a blessing from God?
Elizabeth Elliot said that the best consolation is obedience. Perhaps we can adapt her statement to say that the best consolation for hurt feelings is the obedience of forgiving.
When we forgive, we are being conformed to the image of God. We definitely feel s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d in the process, but we can be confident that we are being shaped for greater effectiveness and for maximized joy.**
Bride: Do you have any resources you'd recommend to engaged or newly married couples? What are some of the resources you offer on your website MannaForMarriage.com?
Pre-marital counseling is valuable; but in many cases, there is something else that is just as important and even more helpful: marriage mentoring.
In your pre-marital counseling, you are eager to learn, and you are trying to listen, but you don't really have a hook to hang these truths onto yet. It is like sitting in a classroom and listening to a lecture on how to drive a car. It is hard to fully process that information until you are actually in a car with your hand on the steering wheel. Once you are out of the classroom and onto the road, you suddenly have many "teachable moments"!
Make a commitment now–before you get married–to meet with someone a couple times during your first year of marriage. Schedule an appointment for several months after your wedding with your pastor or with another married couple. Another good option is for you and your spouse to meet with separate mentors.
You don't need to plan anything formal; it can be a conversation over lunch at a nearby restaurant. But get your plan written on the calendar.
Also, plan to attend a marriage conference together, such as Weekend to Remember.
There are a number of helpful resources on my website, MannaForMarriage.com:
- I recommend several great marriage books and online mentoring videos on the Resources page.
- You will find a group code for a $100 discount for a Weekend to Remember.
- Join us as we pray for marriages! Every Thursday, we "fight on our knees" for marriages for fifteen minutes, and we would be happy to pray specifically for you—just email me at email@example.com. You may join the prayer call live each week, or you can listen to the recorded calls at any time. You can find all the information on the Prayer Call
- Receive a free copy of Your Marriage: God's Masterful Design, which is a short ebook (PDF) summarizing some of the basic principles of a successful marriage.
By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;
through knowledge, its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.
(Proverbs 24:3-4 NIV)
I am excited for you, beautiful bride! May the Lord bless you and your husband with great joy as together you build a household of faith.

Newly-appointed Rutgers Athletics Director Julie Hermann, who was hired May 15 to cleanup an athletics department reeling from the men's basketball verbal- and physical-abuse scandal and the subsequent fallout, is involved in a controversy of her own stemming from her time as women's volleyball coach at the University of Tennessee.
New details of a 1997 pregnancy discrimination lawsuit filed against the University of Tennessee surfaced Saturday when the Newark Star-Ledger on its NJ.com website reported video-tape evidence debunking a statement she made during her introductory press conference.
NJ.com posted a video with Hermann's statement from the May 15 news conference along with an apparent 1994 wedding video — which reportedly was obtained from Ginger Hineline, Hermann's former assistant coach, who didn't respond to a text message on her cell phone and a message left at her office from New Jersey Press Media on Wednesday.
New Jersey Press Media did, however, obtain the Jan. 25, 1996, court filing and minutes from a 1997 employment discrimination suit in which Hineline alleged she was discouraged from becoming pregnant while she served in a top assistant post under Hermann, who served as the Tennessee women's volleyball coach from 1991-96. According to the docket, Hineline had demanded $750,000 from the University of Tennessee on grounds that she was the victim of employment discrimination based on her pregnancy and on June 4, 1997, was awarded $150,000 by a jury verdict.
An administrator at the U.S. District Court in Knoxville told New Jersey Press Media digital copies of the 1997 lawsuit were unavailable, and further attempts to obtain the complaint documents were unsuccessful last week. A reporter representing New Jersey Press Media filed a request and paid $53 to obtain the lawsuit, but a court administrator said the contents of the lawsuit would need to be shipped from a warehouse in Atlanta.
According to the Knoxville News-Sentinel's coverage of the suit in June 1997, Hineline's complaint recounted her asking Hermann whether she would lose her job if she had a child, and Hermann's response was, "I hope it doesn't come to that.''
Hineline reportedly testified that she felt pressured by Hermann to choose between her coaching career or starting a family prior to her termination in July 1995. The University of Tennessee countered Hineline's termination was based on her coaching performance and had no knowledge of her pregnancy prior to ceasing her employment.
The Knoxville News-Sentinel reported Hermann was a witness for the University of Tennessee and also was a bridesmaid in Hineline's wedding. The newspaper also quoted Hineline as saying, "Julie and I had various conversations that discouraged me from becoming pregnant.''
Sports Illustrated later reported Hineline told Hermann that she wanted to start a family right away and referenced a video recording of Hineline's wedding, at which Hermann allegedly says, "We don't want any surprises come February. … It would be hard to have a baby in the office.''
The Star-Ledger video corroborates the 1997 Sports Illustrated report with Hermann actually saying, "So, I'm very proud of you, I'm very happy for you, I love you very much, I'm very excited about this day. I hope it's good tonight because I know you've been waiting awhile but I hope it's not too good but I don't want you to come back in February with any surprises, you know, in the office and all, and it would be hard to have a baby in there and babysitting. Well, actually I wouldn't mind it so much but I don't know. Anyway, have a great honeymoon. I love you. Hope it went well. See you soon.''
The Star-Ledger then reported that Hermann said in an interview last week she "didn't remember attending Hineline's wedding 19 years ago.'' The Star-Ledger then showed a clip of Hermann catching the bouquet from Hineline.
During her introductory press conference, Hermann was pressed by WNBC-NY reporter Brian Thompson to address the 1997 Sports Illustrated report. In his first question, Thompson specifically made reference of the video.
Hermann said: "There's a video? I'm sorry did you say there's a video?"
Thompson replied: "(Sports Illustrated) referred to a video, a wedding video in which you may have said that."
Hermann chuckled and then said: "There's no video, trust me."
She added: "I've been managing people for 25 years, and through the course of 25 years (managing) hundreds of student-athletes and coaches, and unfortunately there are occasions in which, unfortunately, some of those dialogues ended up being litigated. It was litigated. And while I do not agree with the outcome, it's already been litigated and there's really nothing else to comment on."
Thompson then asked: "So it didn't happen the way it was described in the article?"
Hermann said: "I'm not familiar with the article you're talking about. I'm not familiar with what you read to me."
Thompson then asked permission to read it, and Hermann said: "Sure."
Thompson referenced the part of the complaint that cites Hineline as asking, "Does it mean it might come down to not having a baby or losing my job,'' and Hermann's response as, "It might.''
Hermann shook her head and said: "I'm not familiar with that whatsoever."
Thompson asked: "You don't remember that?"
Hermann said: "No, sir.''
The Star-Ledger video came to light 10 days after Hermann signed a five-year deal worth $450,000 annually to lead a Rutgers athletics department still dealing with the fallout of now-deposed men's basketball coach Mike Rice's mistreatment of players and questionable decisions made by top university leaders, including Tim Pernetti, who accepted a $1.2 million settlement to resign his AD post.
Rutgers President Robert L. Barchi, who recommended Hermann's appointment following a five-week national search that included 63 candidates, said her 15 years of leadership experience at the University of Louisville, where she served as the athletics department's second-in-command, will be an invaluable asset to the university as it prepares to enter the Big Ten in 2014.
Hermann, who won't officially take office until June 17, wasn't available for immediate comment on the Star-Ledger report.
Her task of restoring faith in a Rutgers fan base still seething over the ouster of the popular Pernetti figures to be more daunting in light of this latest controversy. There also are questions of why Rutgers officials signed off on Hermann's appointment after news that Hermann was involved in the lawsuit surfaced on May 12 — three days before the university's Board of Governors signed off on Barchi's recommendation – when multiple media outlets referenced the 1997 Knoxville (Tenn.) News-Sentinel's coverage of the suit.
The university paid for the services of an outside firm, Parker Executive Search, to identify and vet candidates during the interview process earlier this month. Barchi stood at the podium and introduced Hermann as "quite simply a remarkable leader'' and "precisely the person we need to continue to build and strengthen Rutgers athletics.''
Barchi, whose leadership also came under fire for what he termed a "failure of process'' in choosing not to watch the infamous Mike Rice video tape last December, said Hermann shared his perspectives on the key principles for Rutgers athletics, citing "absolute integrity'' and a "commitment to the university's core values'' among them.
"Julie's experience, her leadership, her vision and her commitment to excellence both to athletic excellence and to the success of student athletes both on and off the field make her the ideal candidate to lead the Scarlet Knights during the pivotal years ahead,'' Barchi said during the introductory news conference. "Julie is one of the most respected athletics administrators in the country. Throughout her career she has always kept a clear focus on the development of the student-athletes. She is passionate about ensuring that they have a well-rounded collegiate experience.''
Kate Sweeney, co-chair along with Richard Edwards for the 26-person AD selection committee, said Hermann "was the best candidate'' and the committee's job "was to put forth a group of qualified candidates to Dr. Barchi and he made the final selection.''
A graduate of Nebraska, where she starred on the volleyball team, Hermann recently served as president of the National Association of Collegiate Women's Athletics Administrators, a powerful organization in college athletics that advocates for increased opportunities for women in sports.
"Creating integrity is not a simple task,'' she said during her introductory news conference. "You have to live it and you have to allow an environment in which people can be honest and be transparent.''

John 12 New Living Translation (NLT)
Jesus Anointed at Bethany
12 Six days before the Passover celebration began, Jesus arrived in Bethany, the home of Lazarus—the man he had raised from the dead. 2 A dinner was prepared in Jesus' honor. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those who ate[a] with him. 3 Then Mary took a twelve-ounce jar[b] of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus' feet with it, wiping his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance.
4 But Judas Iscariot, the disciple who would soon betray him, said, 5 "That perfume was worth a year's wages.[c] It should have been sold and the money given to the poor." 6 Not that he cared for the poor—he was a thief, and since he was in charge of the disciples' money, he often stole some for himself.
7 Jesus replied, "Leave her alone. She did this in preparation for my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."
9 When all the people[d] heard of Jesus' arrival, they flocked to see him and also to see Lazarus, the man Jesus had raised from the dead. 10 Then the leading priests decided to kill Lazarus, too, 11 for it was because of him that many of the people had deserted them[e] and believed in Jesus.
Jesus' Triumphant Entry
12 The next day, the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city. A large crowd of Passover visitors 13 took palm branches and went down the road to meet him. They shouted,
"Praise God![f]
14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, fulfilling the prophecy that said:
15 "Don't be afraid, people of Jerusalem.[h]
16 His disciples didn't understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory, they remembered what had happened and realized that these things had been written about him.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb, raising him from the dead, and they were telling others[j] about it. 18 That was the reason so many went out to meet him—because they had heard about this miraculous sign. 19 Then the Pharisees said to each other, "There's nothing we can do. Look, everyone[k] has gone after him!"
Jesus Predicts His Death
20 Some Greeks who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover celebration 21 paid a visit to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee. They said, "Sir, we want to meet Jesus." 22 Philip told Andrew about it, and they went together to ask Jesus.
23 Jesus replied, "Now the time has come for the Son of Man[l] to enter into his glory. 24 I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. 25 Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity. 26 Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.
27 "Now my soul is deeply troubled. Should I pray, 'Father, save me from this hour'? But this is the very reason I came! 28 Father, bring glory to your name."
Then a voice spoke from heaven, saying, "I have already brought glory to my name, and I will do so again." 29 When the crowd heard the voice, some thought it was thunder, while others declared an angel had spoken to him.
30 Then Jesus told them, "The voice was for your benefit, not mine. 31 The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out. 32 And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself." 33 He said this to indicate how he was going to die.
34 The crowd responded, "We understood from Scripture[m] that the Messiah would live forever. How can you say the Son of Man will die? Just who is this Son of Man, anyway?"
35 Jesus replied, "My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. 36 Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light."
After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
The Unbelief of the People
37 But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in him. 38 This is exactly what Isaiah the prophet had predicted:
"Lord, who has believed our message?
39 But the people couldn't believe, for as Isaiah also said,
40 "The Lord has blinded their eyes
41 Isaiah was referring to Jesus when he said this, because he saw the future and spoke of the Messiah's glory. 42 Many people did believe in him, however, including some of the Jewish leaders. But they wouldn't admit it for fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue. 43 For they loved human praise more than the praise of God.
44 Jesus shouted to the crowds, "If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me. 45 For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. 46 I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. 47 I will not judge those who hear me but don't obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. 48 But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. 49 I don't speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50 And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say."

Continuation of the third-person stealth Styx: Master of Shadows, which takes the form of an experienced goblin-killer. In the next installment of the game, our protagonist discovers that under the guise of diplomatic meetings, race of Elves and Dwarves have established a secret alliance whose aim is to destroy the race of Goblins.
Download Styx: Shards of Darkness Crack CPY is a continuation positively accepted, third-person stealth Styx: Master of Shadows, inspired by the cult series Thief, although set in an entirely different reality fantasy. Behind released by Focus Home Interactive another installment of the series by the authors of the original from the French studio Cyanide, known mainly thanks to series such as Blood Bowl or Pro Cycling Manager (together with its console counterpart Tour de France). Production was announced in October 2015, and therefore almost exactly on the first anniversary of the original release and was released at the end of next year - just like its predecessor on PCs and consoles eighth generation. Besides traditionally a wider palette of configuration options available to the player PeCetowych, in terms of gameplay versions on different platforms in no way different from each other.
The main character Download Styx: Shards of Darkness Torrent Free is once again the title goblin assassin, whom we meet in another production studio Cyanide - Of Orcs and Men, RPG game of 2012. After the fall of the tower Akenash, concealing bed of precious amber, new circumstances force Styx to infiltrate the city Körangar, which is a bastion of the Dark Elves. It turns out that there held strictly confidential diplomatic meeting elves and dwarves is in fact nothing more than a clever cover for sinister conspiracy and alliance, which refer to the combined hatred of goblins race. The task of the protagonist is the discovery of the mysteries associated with that plot and save his brethren before the pogrom.
In terms of the mechanics of Download Styx: Shards of Darkness Full Version PC does not differ significantly from its predecessor. Again we deal with as portrayed in the perspective of a third person action game, a strong emphasis on stealth and silent elimination of potential enemies. Keeping up with the times, the creators expanded, however, many elements of its predecessor. The game world has thus become more extensive, diversified and expanded, and the protagonist has gained a number of new skills, eg. The ability to jump between the corners of rooms, swing and climbing rope and the use of a knife as tyrolki. The game did not lack, of course, different locations and NPCs, as well as new types of enemies and weapons. In Shards of Darkness also appeared previously unavailable option to change clothes, and simple crafting system.
Technical issues
Released on the PC platform Windows Styx: Shades of Darkness clearly outweighs its issued in 2014 predecessor in terms of graphic design, and the environments are impressive indeed considerable, and it is an extremely detailed. Mainly this is the merit of a much bigger budget games and interchange on the Unreal Engine 4, also used, among others, in Polish Khol or ARK: Survival Evolved and allows you to create a much larger, multi-level stages. These include eg. Places like hidden in the mountains, elven settlement Korangar and built on the wrecks of forgotten ships City of Thieves.

I am based in the beautiful Eden Valley in Cumbria UK
Jump straight to my Online Galleries
A brief introduction about what inspired me to start drawing and painting.
I have a passion to bring atmosphere and drama to my work, working predominantly in Oils and Acrylics.
Working from photographs, sketches and imagination I look for the "extreme" moments in nature. Steering away from a natural palette, often introducing bolder tones to achieve a unique signature look in each piece.
I have always had a love of drawing and painting, it was one of the few subjects at school I was actually pretty good at. In the working class environment where I grew up in the fifties and sixties the idea of becoming an artist was a little like wanting to be an astronaut, "not a proper job, Young Man". It still did not stop me "day dreaming" of one day becoming a political cartoonist like my hero the great man Giles .
Giles was my first window into the world of mark making, I came upon him as a young man while awaiting a haircut, a doctor or a dentist, his books and annuals seemed to be a regular feature in every waiting room in my day. They certainly made an unpleasant experience bearable and I was always sad if my turn came around too quickly.
I sign my work under my childhood nickname. In actual fact, while growing up very few people ever called me by my real name or probably even knew of my interest in art. However, my nickname looked (at least to me) as though it might stylise well as a Giles type logo (I have to admit to a lot of secret sessions trying different variations out). Since then it stopped being something I rather disliked and became the nom de plume I have used to sign artwork for many years.
I am a member of the Eden Valley Artist Network, a collective of artists, organisations and venues based in the North Lakes and Eden Valley whose aim is to bring art and local artists to an audience. We have a permanent base at our EVAN Gallery and Studios at 4 Corney Place- Penrith - CA11 7PX - open 10 - 4 Tuesday-Sunday If you are looking to join such an organisation then Evan may be for you.
Growing up in the middle of Cumbria and the Scottish Borders it is hard not to be Inspired
I have always been fascinated by light and shadow, some of my earliest memories were the ever popular Sunday morning family drives into the countryside, this was in the days before petrol became too expensive for such family ventures. The mountains and lakes of Cumbria's Lake District was like an exotic other world compared to the council housing estate where I grew up. And despite now living in the beautiful Eden Valley for over 35 years I still get a buzz every time I see those fells, woodlands and hills
With a name like Stuart James Fraser you might guess that my Father was a Scot and you would be right. He came down to Cumbria from Elgin in the highlands, initialy based here on national servce and then with the railways. On my many train journeys to the far north to visit and spend school holidays with my Grandparents, I could not believe how wild and dramatic the Cairngorms were. Sitting in freezing cold carriages in snowy highland stations with my nose pressed to the window, looking out at that splendid grandeur left strong images in my young brain.
Even then nature held a fascination for me and the wilder and more dramatic the sky the better. I am obsessed by attempting to paint skies, constantly trying to capture the softness and fleeting nature of them. I am always looking for those breaks in clouds that send stabs of light to illuminate the land below, they provide those sharp contrasts of intense greens, blues and rich browns that shine out against the usual muted olive and slate grey of our UK climate, Lightening even the dullest day.
I am inspired by dramatic skies and how the light interacts with the landscape
It may not be as wild as Scotland or grand like the Alps, but my Cumbria has it all in miniature!. Lakes and mountains, moorland and dales, rugged coasts, timeless valleys and villages where the landscape is largely unspoiled by the marches of time.
It has been an inspiration and home all of my life and I never tire of it. .

I am now able to offer excellent quality Giclee prints. Printed on either fine art paper (which is similar in appearance to heavy watercolour paper) or direct to canvas.
The quality and definition from this special 1200 dpi, 12 colour service is really amazing
They are printed in a small market town close to my village and can be purchased mounted, ready for framing.
My ability to offer prints came about after receiving a panoramic photograph from a musician friend. This sparked the notion
of producing a print so we could both share in the final painting.
It did however become something bigger than that and I documented the whole project for others to learn from.
Read my comprehensive guide created in Adobe Spark (external link) on how I set out to:
1: Build my own canvas from absolute scratch. 2: Complete a large panoramic painting in oils.
3: Take my own high quality digital image and process it in Photoshop. 4: Take it all through to producing a excellent quality Giclee print

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. – Hamlet
Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, was a French apothecary from 16th century. But the thing he is still famous for, even centuries after his death, is his bunch of prophecies, that, believe it or not, came true.
His book of prophecies (that are in quatrain/4 lines form ), named Les Propheties, remains a best seller to this day, because of the materialization of its contents. Despite many scholars claiming that associating his 'ambiguous' predictions with world events are nothing but misinterpretations, the interpreters have the actual events to back them up!
These prophecies by Nostradamus often shook the world, quite literally.
1. The young lion will overcome the older one,
On the field of combat in a single battle;
He will pierce his eyes through a golden cage,
Two wounds made one, then he dies a cruel death.
Event- The death of King Henry II of France
King Henry II of France was badly wounded during a joust, as a lance fragment pierced through his eye, and died 10 days later from septicemia after suffering greatly.
2. The blood of the just will be demanded of London
Burnt by fire in the year '66
The ancient Lady will fall from her high place
And many of the same sect will be killed.
Event- The great fire of London
In 1666, a horrible fire, that couldn't be extinguished for 3 days, consumed much of the city, including St. Paul's Cathedral. Most of the medieval London was in ashes after the fire.
3. From the enslaved populace, songs,
Chants and demands
While princes and lords are held captive in prisons.
These will in the future by headless idiots
Be received as divine prayers.
Event- French revolution
In 1789, the hungry, work laden poor people of France over threw the monarchy, creating a new democracy that sadly didn't turn out to be what they had expected.
4. PAU, NAY, LORON will be more of fire than of the blood,
To swim in praise, the great one to flee to the confluence.
He will refuse entry to the Piuses,
The depraved ones and the Durance will keep them imprisoned.
Event- Rise of Napoleon
The first 3 words are French towns, but also put together, it's an anagram for Napoleon the king. Napoleon Bonaparte was not of royal heritage, but rose to power during the French Revolution as a military leader and later ruled France from 1804 to 1815.
5. The lost thing is discovered, hidden for many centuries.
Pasteur will be celebrated almost as a God-like figure.
This is when the moon completes her great cycle,
But by other rumors he shall be dishonored.
Event- Louis Pasteur finding about microbial decay
Louise Pasteur, a 19th C microbiologist is called the father of microbiology for his contributions like finding vaccination and pasteurization.
6. From the depths of the West of Europe,
A young child will be born of poor people,
He who by his tongue will seduce a great troop;
His fame will increase towards the realm of the East.
Event- Rise of Hitler
Two words, Adolf Hitler!
7. Beasts ferocious with hunger will cross the rivers,
The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister.
Into a cage of iron will the great one be drawn,
When the child of Germany observes nothing.
Event- World War II
World War II started in 1939, and remains the greatest holocaust that mankind has seen to this day. It was also the only war in human history that saw the use of nuclear weapon.
8. Near the gates and within two cities
There will be scourges the like of which was never seen,
Famine within plague, people put out by steel,
Crying to the great immortal God for relief.
Event- Atom bomb
As a cascading effect of World War II, USA dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, killing thousands of people.
9. He will come to travel to the corner of Luna,
Where he will be captured and put in a strange land,
The unripe fruits to be subject of great scandal,
Great blame, to one, great praise.
Event – Moon landing
Many believe this prophecy to be foretelling the moon mission conducted in 1969. Apollo 11 carried Neil Armstrong (first man on moon) and Buzz Aldrin, to the moon.
10. Earthshaking fire from the center of the Earth
Will cause tremors around the New City.
Two great rocks will war for a long time,
Then Arethusa will redden a new river.
Event- 9/11
On September 11, 2001 terrorist group al-Qaeda attacked the twin towers of the World Trade Centre, both of which collapsed, with hundreds of people dying because of the incident.
Here is one of his predictions, good luck interpreting this one!
"The sloping park, great calamity,
Through the Lands of the West and Lombardy
The fire in the ship, plague and capitivity;
Mercury in Sagittarius, Saturn fading."

Boot Camp 3.0 + Windows XP Service Pack 3 = installation error
Posted on Sun, 2009/08/30 - 1:51am
Seeing as I completely reformatted my MacBook Pro's hard disk, I also had to reinstall Windows via Boot Camp 3.0 today. Everything went well, however when the time came to install Service Pack 3 (my copy of XP is an SP2 OEM disc), I received an odd error I had never seen before:
An error occured while copying file osloader.ntd. Cannot copy file to destination directory. Click Retry to retry the operation or click Cancel.
A Google revealed that this error is caused by an Apple's new HFS+ drivers for Windows, as detailed here. Simply following the instructions and renaming the driver fixes the problem. After installing SP3, I restored the HFS+ driver to it's original state and all is well.

Michael told TVLine:
I'm delighted to return for the series finale. I'm simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness, and even their threats. Ha ha. I can't wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again. Oh, and for Lex to become the bad-ass he's destined to be.
Wow. An amazing episode tonight, followed by the best Smallville news EVER. I am in heaven. But just to be greedy, now I'm hoping for Greg Beeman to direct! :)
ETA: And it's confirmed! Greg Beeman will direct the Smallville series finale! Yay! From his blog, Beaming Beeman:
Just wanted to blast off some news that makes me very happy. About two weeks ago, completely out of the blue, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson called me and asked if I was available to direct the series finale of SMALLVILLE. I was and... After doing a couple of backflips... I gladly said yes!
Also - As I'm sure you have all heard by now. my good friend, Michael Rosenbaum has just announced that he will be back for the finale as well. So - the cosmos is moving in perfect synchronicity. We have talked and we are both really excited to reunite. He really wants to do the right thing for the fans! It all just feels so right! The old gang will be together again. I am happy.
Read his entire post HERE.
I don't think I could wish for anything more. ♥
ETA2: Greg Beeman has added the news that he'll split directing duties with James Marshall, the same way Tom Welling and Glen Winter did on Absolute Justice. I'm totally cool with that. James Marshall has always been one of my favorite directors, he has one of the longest histories on the show, and it makes perfect sense for him to be involved with the finale.
P.S. -- As announced by the CW - The series finale will be done as a two parter. As of this moment James Marshall will be directing the first half and I the second. James and I are soul-brothers.

TurboGrafx-16 Hidden Gems (Video)
Metal Jesus posted a topic in Classic Gaming GeneralThe TurboGrafx-16 or PC Engine in Japan was an amazing, powerful & fun gaming console that never quite found mainstream success in most of the world. However, game collectors know there are some great Hidden Gems on the system and Carlos is here to offer some suggestions. What games should be in Part 2?
Powering on a TurboGrafx-16 without a Cartridge
boxpressed posted a topic in Classic Gaming GeneralI just picked up a bare TurboGrafx-16 console in a mixed lot of stuff. I am using a Genesis 1 power supply with it. What am I supposed to see when I power on the console without a cartridge? When I flip the switch, the screen goes from static to a gray screen. I was just wondering if there was any kind of splash screen I was supposed to see.

A version of this column first appeared in the Weekend edition of The Wall Street Journal.
SAN DIEGO (MarketWatch) -- Investors in Tempur-Pedic International Inc., the fast-growing bed company, haven't been having sweet dreams lately.
Since the company three weeks ago reported fourth-quarter earnings that were shy of expectations, its shares have slid about 30%. "We still have the best growth in the industry," Chief Financial Officer Dale Williams says.
To be sure, even with the miss, profit was up a perky 31% on a 13% rise in sales for beds, pillows and other products whose claim to fame is that they are made of the same viscoelastic "memory" foam used by astronauts.
But Wall Street being Wall Street, a miss by a company on as fast a track as Tempur-Pedic, with a five-year average earnings growth rate of 53%, results in more than a trip to the woodshed.
Like many companies, Tempur-Pedic
This isn't the first time Tempur-Pedic has been red-flagged by yours truly because of looming competition from established brands. As recently as three years ago, I pointed out that the big bed makers attempted to ride the success of Tempur-Pedic's marketing with visco knock-offs of their own.
"We thought we could compete by just buying a foam similar to what they bought and putting the Simmons name on it," Simmons Chief Executive Charlie Eitel says. "It failed miserably."
This time, Simmons is using visco manufactured by ComforPedic, a small producer it bought last summer. Eitel says ComforPedic uses a "next-generation" visco that has better characteristics than Tempur-Pedic's, especially when it comes to heat absorption.
One of the knocks on visco is that it can get too hard if a room is too cool and too mushy if a room is too warm. Eitel says ComforPedic's visco has been "scientifically proven" to be better. "This is not a gray area that is open to interpretation," he says.
To which Tempur-Pedic's Williams responds: "Have you ever met any competitor that says their product is worse than the other? Of course they say it's better ... we'll see if they can validate the claims."
Eitel is so confident of Simmons's potential that he says "ComforPedic is the company that's going to give Tempur-Pedic competition. We have the distribution, the connected brand to Simmons and, more important, the technology."
And while the ComforPedic visco has only been at Simmons dealers for three months, Eitel says that when it competes directly with Tempur-Pedic the customer "conversion rate" to ComforPedic, with a nudge from sales people, has been high. "Wall Street isn't recognizing it and won't realize it until a conference call a year from today when we're saying visco is more than 5% of our business."
Sealy, meanwhile, is putting its focus on natural latex, which it claims produces a superior sleep to any kind of visco. And unlike inner-spring beds, latex, which comes from rubber trees, doesn't sag or leave body impressions. It also is virtually indestructible.
Sealy is so serious that last year it built its own latex plant in Pennsylvania that runs 24 hours a day, six days a week. Capacity will be doubled in several months to keep up with sales, which rose 50% last year.
"Latex is exploding," Sealy Chief Executive David McIlquham says. And even though Sealy makes visco beds, Mr. McIlquham concedes, "I hate how they feel," which is why he sleeps on latex. (Disclosure: So do I. And so does Eitel, whose firm also makes latex beds, at his vacation home.)
Williams, however, says the word from retailers "is that latex has the highest return rates."
That is news to Sealy's McIlquham, who says latex returns are on par with other beds sold by his company. He further believes that over the long-term latex could be bigger than visco, which along with other types of noninner-spring bedding accounts for about 29% of the market among leading manufacturers, according to the International Sleep Products Association.
McIlquham believes so strongly in latex that for the first time his company has hired an advertising agency for the sole purpose of devising a plan to market the product, which has long been popular in Europe.
The obvious question is whether the renewed push for noninner-spring beds by Sealy, Simmons and others will steal more share from among themselves rather than from Tempur-Pedic. Or whether, at the same time, consumer demand for visco beds, which cost hundreds of dollars more than traditional mattresses, will moderate if the economy slumbers.
Williams reminds me that the last time I suggested his company's growth was vulnerable its annual sales were $830 million. "Now they're $1.1 billion," he scoffs. Touché, but just remember, with companies driven by hot products, too much hubris can be humbling.
