The 5-foot-10, 190-pound forward from Birdsboro (Daniel Boone) led the Nittany Lions and the NEAC in goals with 22 and points with 50. Both are school records and both rank second in NCAA Division III.
Valverde had four multi-goal games, including four goals and an assist in a 5-3 victory over John Jay on Sept. 9 and four goals and two assists in a 15-0 triumph over St. Elizabeth on Sept. 23. He was named the league's Offensive Player of the Week four times. He's the first Nittany Lion men's soccer player to earn Player of the Year honors and just the second in program history to earn Rookie of the Year honors.
"Brenden was everything that we hoped he could be and more," coach Adrian Monteanu said. "He is a competitor and it shows out on the field. He's a battler and his hard work paid off."

KENOSHA, Wis. -- A strong third quarter allowed the No. 7 University of Chicago women's basketball team to pull away from host Carthage College, and the Maroons' balanced scoring attack led to a 68-59 win Sunday afternoon.
The Maroons (7-1) had four players in double-figures, led by junior Taylor Lake's 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Miranda Burt and Mia Farrell each added 12 points and rookie Klaire Steffens chipped in 10 points for UChicago, who played for the first time after a 12-day layoff.
Burt was especially efficient, shooting 5-of-7 from the field and 2-of-3 from 3-point land, while adding five steals, four rebounds, and three assists.
UChicago opened the game on a strong note, bolting out to a 19-9 lead after one quarter. Burt made the first bucket of the game -- a 3 at the 6:57 mark -- before the game stood tied at 7-all with just under four minutes to play in the first frame. The Maroons would go on to close out the quarter with a 12-2 run to take control early. Carthage didn't fold early though, outscoring the Maroons by a 20-13 margin to head into the locker room down by just three, 32-29.
The third quarter would prove to be the turning point. With UChicago leading by just two, 36-34, senior Jamie Kockenmeister drained a triple that kickstarted a 16-5 run to give the visitors a 13-point advantage, 52-39, heading into the final frame. Lake and Kockenmeister would each add another make from downtown and Burt scored two layups during the run.
Carthage would make one more run to pull within six (54-48) at the 6:42 mark, but it was a pair of Maroon first-years that would help stall the Lady Reds (4-5), as Steffens drained two free throws and Elizabeth Shaw came up with a steal and layup to return that lead to 10.
Kockenmeister's made 3 at the 1:54 mark -- she finished the game with nine points -- would all but seal the Maroons' seventh win of the year.
UChicago shot 38.8 percent (26 for 67) from the field and 38.1 percent (8-of-21) from the 3-point line compared to 36.8 percent (21 for 57) and 29.4 percent (5 for 17) for the Lady Reds. Both teams struggled from the free throw line -- the Maroons made 8-of-20 (40 percent) and Carthage 12-of-22 (54.5 percent) and UChicago just edged the hosts on the boards, 45-43.
Assists (14-4), points of turnovers (14-6) and bench points (16-5) all proved to be key wins for the Maroons.
Olariche Obi (six points) and Farrell led the Maroons with eight rebounds each and Kockenmeister added four assists.
Bailey Gilbert led Carthage with 19 points in the loss.
- Tuesday, Dec. 18: #7 UChicago at Rose-Hulman, 6:30 p.m. CT

Lost Art NY.
Don't you love it when you stumble across a designer / artist / label / muse that reminds you of the feeling you first got when you found your aesthetic passion?
My first experience of this feeling was when I walked into Wild Ones on the Kings Road, Chelsea in London. The dark little shop was so crammed full of Native American art, jewellery, ancient navajo turquoise rings – all mixed together with smokey incense. I was hooked.
I just had that feeling again when I had a look at Lost Art NYC.
Lost Art is a luxury leather couture brand by Jordan Betten. My first thought when I saw it was what would happen if you mixed Spell with Buffalo Girl and added crack…
Soon after he started the label, Betten was designing clothing and accessories for Lenny Kravitz, Steven Tyler, Sean Lennon, Sheryl Crow and many others. His work has been featured in Vogue, W, Rolling Stone and ELLE among others. His work has been compared to Jackson Pollock and Picasso.

I've played digital card games on my iPad before, including some heavy hitters like Might And Magic: Duel Of Champions and Magic 2014.
I've played some real-time battle arena games, like Raid Leader or Skulls of the Shogun, and enjoyed them as well.
Category: iOS Games
Works With: iPhone, iPad
Price: Free
But I've never, until now, played such an engaging mashup of the two gaming genres. What Singapore-based Spicy Horse has done here is create nothing less than a sublime, well-balanced, purely addictive combination of collectible card game, arena-based real-time strategy, and a training/leveling up system that just begs for exploration and mastery.
There are two main battle systems in The Gate, one a single-player affair that has you moving through a geography of battles, each one full of waves of baddies that you must vanquish in real time. The characters you use on the battlegrounds come from your deck of cards, each with their own level, evolution stage, special skills, and damage stats. Every character also has an element associated with it, with Earth, Fire, Electricity and more in the mix.
This system alone is engaging enough to keep me coming back to the game again and again. Figuring out how to direct the troops to damage monsters and heal each other is a sweet zen-like challenge. After each battle, you'll get more cards with monsters you can use in battles, or that you can sacrifice to help upgrade your current characters, like many digital card games out there. As you level up, you can attempt harder arenas in single player, and then even challenge other folks in the Arena battles.
These randomly matched battles provide the second battle system, pitting you against other players of The Gate who have also upgraded and evolved their battle deck characters. Evolution puts another bit of complexity into the system, letting you sacrifice another card of the same character to add to your monster's basic stats like hit points and defense modifiers.
Social play is highly encouraged here. Every once in a while, you'll get a message from the game pointing out another player who you are given the option to friend. Once players friend each other, they can be used–once per day–in Quest battles that might be a bit too hard for your own main battle deck of characters.
There's a predictable cycle in any gameplay sessions – Quest a bit, grinding up levels and gaining new cards to sacrifice and level up the good battle cards in your collection. There's a summoning system and a "Captus" system (that plays like a game of Memory match-two) that allows you to gather even more cards to use in this way.
All of this is infused with a free-to-play sensibility that seems pretty darn fair. I've not wanted to spend any money just yet, as I'm still able to upgrade characters and gain new cards daily with the points and coins I hear through gameplay. There's of course booster pacs and higher-rarity cards on offer via direct in-app purchases, but nothing, so far, has been very necessary.
Bottom line, The Gate is a extra-sticky game that combines the addictiveness of leveling up, training and battling your characters with the fun of collecting and finding rare cards along the way. It's a well-tuned system, as well, and battles feel fair and balanced even when you lose.
Game Name: : The Gate
The Good: Addictive mashup of gameplay genres that encourages social play; in-app purchases seem fairly non-egregious and optional.
The Bad: The fantasy demon trope is a bit worn-out.
The Verdict This is a must-try game for fans and newcomers alike.
Buy from: App Store

NEW YORK – Weber Shandwick, one of the world's leading global communications and engagement firms, will be the first global PR firm to pilot Facebook's enterprise collaboration platform, Facebook at Work. The test, which will begin today with a portion of the agency's global employees, is part of Weber Shandwick's ongoing effort to explore and understand new innovative communications platforms for clients engaging important constituencies, including employees.
"As a leading social agency, we systematically pursue beta partner opportunities that offer clients new angles for engagement," said Chris Perry, Chief Digital Officer, Weber Shandwick. "Our partnership with Facebook for internal collaboration is particularly timely given that employee engagement is ripe for innovation and an emerging area of focus for our clients."
Weber Shandwick employees across various teams and global locations will be a part of the pilot programme initially. The agency pilot will include teams with varied organisational structures and workflows to understand the platform's best use-cases for different types of clients, as well as for the firm itself. To determine its usability and effectiveness, the team will collect insights on usage, engagement, knowledge sharing, collaboration, culture and connectivity.
"A very select group of companies around the world can access Facebook at Work right now so we're excited to be the first company to look at this from our clients' perspective to see how it could work as a communications tool for engaging one of our clients' key constituencies – their employees," said Adam Clyne, head of digital, EMEA, Weber Shandwick. "Collaboration is inherently part of Weber Shandwick's culture, so it will be interesting to see how the platform strengthens our own teamwork, particularly as it relates to working on mobile with teams who are truly global, cross-practice and cross-office. About a quarter of our workforce across six continents is taking part in our trial to really get to grips with how Facebook at Work can enhance internal collaboration and communication."
As a mobile first platform, Facebook at Work is also a separate and secure professional resource, allowing only the coworkers within a company to see information that's posted.
"At work it is important to collaborate with and share information with the right people," said Julien Codorniou, director of global platform partnerships, Facebook. "Everyone looks for quicker or simpler ways to work together and we believe that Facebook at Work will help create a more productive and connected workplace."

Barrie: jQuery for Beginners: Add Interactivity and Effects to Your Website on February 28th
Ladies Learning Code
Saturday, February 28, 2015 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM (EST)
You've learned how to make web pages with HTML and CSS and now you're ready for the next step. In this workshop, you'll learn how to take a static web page and give it that little extra sumthin' sumthin'.
JavaScript or jQuery, what's the difference?
JavaScript is a wildly popular programming language that is used on almost every website. Photo slideshows, Twitter timeline updates and Google auto-complete search terms are just a few examples of JavaScript! jQuery is a library that makes writing JavaScript a breeze. Not sure what a JavaScript library is? No worries, you'll get plenty of information about what it is, how to write your own jQuery code and use plugins like this snazzy photo slider: http://flexslider.woothemes.com/thumbnail-slider.html.
What will you learn?
By the end of the day, your web page will no longer just sit there and look pretty, it'll also be full of fun interactions!
This workshop has been designed for beginners who have never been exposed to JavaScript before, but already have basic knowledge of HTML and CSS. Not sure if you have the basic HTML and CSS you'll need to get the most out of this workshop? If you've been to either of our Intro to HTML & CSS workshops (and paid attention), you should be good to go! Missed those workshops? See this quiz. If you can answer the 3 questions, you are probably a good fit for this workshop.
We're a Canada-wide community driven not-for-profit working to empower women and youth to feel comfortable learning beginner-friendly technical skills in a social and collaborative way.

Amazing tour...Loved every minute of it! The staff was awesome. The bikes were great! The hotels were all very clean, with friendly staff and great breakfast. The route was beautiful. The towns were fairy tale dreamy. Did we get lost more than once? Yes of course we did, it's a given and expected when you're not familiar with the rout and towns, no matter how good the map and directions are. Having said that, getting lost was part of the charm of the trip, we got to explore more areas/places. Most trails and routs are very well marked and if you follow the "Bike Route" marks you will not get lost too much, maybe a turn here or there. We used Google map along with the paper map/directions provided. In some areas Google conflicted with the provided directions and that's how we got lost ... but it was fun exploring. If you're the daring type who considers every turn a new adventure you will have a blast. But if you're the type that everything has to be precise then you might get frustrated.

It was a fantastic way to experience several new cultures, communities and cities all while loving the interactive journey! We loved the challenge of finding our way and the delightful anticipation of our next destination and accommodation - which always truly splendid! Without speaking the language, ( German or French ) we met several wonderful nature loving and kind ppl who helped us when we seemed to veer off the route. We always got to the next destination and spent time exploring area and local cuisine. The best part of my experience was the sense of overwhelming ahh and appreciation I experienced when I had my 'around the corner 'experiences' - meaning that I suddenly came upon a fantastic site that I did not anticipate in magnitude or beauty and there I was, right there with it! Beautiful.
Thank you sincerely for the amazing trip! We loved every moment and strongly recommended to to all the soul inspired adventurers out there!! Xo

A great trip overall and a good value. I would've preferred an upcharge option for better hotels. The downside was the directions book, though well made and attractive, it was not helpful or practical. I found it was much easier to follow the road signs and ignore the book. Also, the book needs to point out attractions and diversions and points of interest. People are coming from all over the world to see this one particular area, it is so important to know what there is to explore in the countryside rather than just following the route.

Verified ReviewerThis is a beautiful part of the world to see, and doing it via bike is excellent. We wanted to do it on a tandem, which the tour operator did not offer, so we rented one from a bike shop in Freiburg, and that worked out fine. The hotels were good, and so were the breakfast buffets that they offered. The distances cycled each day were good, which is to say short enough to allow stopping along the way as suited us, and arriving at the hotel in the evening with some time left to look around. We found part of our prescribed route to be flooded by the Rhine, so we had to divert to the roads through nearby German villages. This turned out to be fine, as a few miles on the Rhine levee is enough--after that, it gets a bit monotonous. The flower bedecked villages of Alsace are sensational. We ate wonderful French cuisine, and came home with a trove of beautiful pictures from this trip! On the negative side, the tour maps need to be improved. They are not detailed enough, far too often Read More making it hard to know where the turn points of the route are. North is not always at the top on the maps, and there are no markings to indicate where north lies. The print is miniscule, so street names are almost impossible to read. The written directions accompanying the maps need improvement, too, due to occasional lapses of detail. The tour operator could solve these problems by offering handlebar mounted moving-map GPS rental. I believe people would be willing to pay for this additional aid. Overall, we are satisfied with this tour, and hope Pack and Pedal/Tripsite will work at refining their guidance to make it even better for those who take it later.

The routes and towns for this trip were perfectly selected. The hotels were charming and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The bikes were high quality and in nearly new condition. We found the written route instructions, written in English, were very thorough and detailed for each day of riding.. Yes, we did manage to get ourselves a little lost on a few occasions but in retrospect the fault was always ours for not following the instructions carefully. Because of the detailed road maps included it was always easy to get ourselves back on track. The suitcase transfer was flawless- we never felt rushed to get our bags ready in the morning and they were always waiting for us at our next hotel. Our group ranged from mid 50's to mid teens and all of us were equally captivated by the scenery and region's history. This was a great trip and we look forward to taking another vacation with Tripsite.

Overall a very enjoyable tour staying at good hotels and the bikes while a little heavy did the job well. The one area that needs improvement was the directions. For the first couple of days we were given detailed instructions in English but subsequently we were instructed to follow the route in the map book which was in German! As a consequence we had to work out our own route which we did using a large scale map and google maps. Also the suggestion was that we could have taken two possible routes on the first ride day but we only given instructions for one. Still a most enjoyable ride, fantastic scenary the weather was perfect.

We're pleased to announce that Bing Digital is now working in partnership with heating company Swale Heating. And the goal – to raise their profile in the UK and heat up the competition with their business rivals, such as British Gas and Home Serve.
A closer look at Swale Heating
Swale Heating launched in 1972 by Ian Pierson, a then 22-year old entrepreneur and former commercial apprentice. Starting small, Ian began business with one-off, private customers from his tiny leased shop on the Isle of Sheppey. Forty-three years on, he remains focussed on start-to-finish and Swale Heating have turned developed into the largest independent heating company in the South of England. Warming the hearts of his customers has certainly paid off as the company continues to expand and flourish.
Swale Heating's business model was founded on excellent value for money and high-quality service and products. Swale Heating approached Bing Digital with a plan of transforming the company's home online into an attractive website that truly reflects these values. Bing Digital has since been working to redevelop and redesign Swale Heating's website, creating a special emphasis on building customer support and cementing their reputation for excellent customer service.
From website to sales device
A beautiful website is a must for any company. More than being pleasing to the eye and user friendly, the partnership's strategic plan is to turn the website into a sales device that not only looks good, but attracts new customers as well as delighting current ones.
Talking about the partnership, Director and Founder of Bing Digital, Jon Billingsley, said, "Swale Heating is a company renowned in Kent for providing a high level of heating installations and support services. We are looking forward to being a part of their regeneration journey and providing their marketing team with a strategic tool to generate growth.
"Being a private company that has grown substantially over the years, we're very proud to be working with Swale. The aim is to update the site and make it a strategic sales device aimed at new and existing customers. The new site will also focus on customer support."

Dalek vs. Ifwhen
Hear Less / No Good Trying COLORED VINYL 180g LP
As diverse as hip-hop has ever been, think My Bloody Valentine, Tool & early Wu Tang combined with Massive Attack and Aphex Twin and you only begin to wrap your brain around what Dälek has unleashed with each album release, each collaboration, each remix... Dälek has played and toured with Pink Floyd, Kanye West, Prince Paul, Tool, Mastodon, ISIS, Jesu, Faust, Peanut Butter Wolf, KRS-One, Grandmaster Flash, Underworld, DJ Spooky, The Fucking Champs, Bob Dylan, The Pixies, Morrissey, Sonic Youth, Blonde Redhead, Kraftwerk, Rye Coalition, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Battles, Dillinger Escape Plan, Deftones, Massive Attack, The Mars Volta and the list goes on and on...Side A of the Dälek/Ifwhen 12" features two tracks as performed by Ifwhen, a NYC band who just had their first US release in late 2007. Ifwhen was formed by Merc, a former member of the band All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors who had achieved a significant level of worldwide attention with their three full length records released from '99 '03.Ifwhen maintain a formula of manipulated chaos. As if the Velvet Underground were playing King Crimson, Ifwhen entangle layers of musical ideas while maintaining a soothing yet abrasive density. Walls of sound intertwine and overlap through ever changing time signatures. Parts rarely seems to coincide as one would expect. It sometimes sounds as if two or more records are being played at the same time, only to interrupt the illusion of musical anarchy with moments of extreme control. Its as if to remind you that they had a plan all along and that these are indeed "songs". Its not harsh though, they almost seem to hold your hand throughout the whole ordeal with sneaky hooks and dreamy vocals. There may not be any obviously logical way to know where each song will be going so they just want you to trust them that they will somehow get there.Side B is the recreation of the same two tracks by Dälek. Calling them "remixes" doesn't quite explain what's happening here. They've ended up with two entirely different experiences from side A. Imagine King Tubby doing Mobb Deep doing Throbbing Gristle and you may end up in the right ball park. Add walls of vocal tracks that could have been the creepiest Bohemian Rhapsody outtakes imaginable and you'd be even closer. These tracks are disturbing and maybe even frightening, though completely intriguing and hypnotic. Powerful and thumping, it absolutely forces you onto one of the heaviest and most twisted rides ever. Don't expect dense layers of noise or extreme distortion. That would have been too easy and obvious. Its slightly minimal though incomparable to most music sharing that name. Nothing like this has ever sounded so violating, sinister and oddly inviting.As with all Claire's Echo releases, this release is LIMITED to just 300 copies worldwide -- 200 copies on 180-gram black vinyl, and just 100 copies on 180-gram colored vinyl.
