No. 2 Lancers nearly shocked by Sturgis, Chiefs top Bridgman to advance to finals
Sturgis nearly did everything right Monday night.
The Trojans were taking on Class B's No. 2 Stevensville-Lakeshore in the regional semifinals held at Marshall, and Sturgis put a definite scare into the 22-0 Lancers.
Yet, in the end Sturgis wasn't able to overcome a couple of key turnovers and missed free throws. Lakeshore won the game, 37-36.
Chance Stewart nailed a 3-pointer with just under 6 seconds left in the game and Lakeshore didn't inbound the ball. Per high school rules, the clock continues to run and there is no stoppage of play.
Sturgis could do nothing but watch the clock run out.
"I thought coming into the game that we were very similar to Lakeshore," Sturgis coach Keith Kurowski said. "They had a little more height and a little more athleticism than us, but I told the boys that they play defense and we play defense. We're patient on offense and they're patient on offense. We expected a close game that would come down to a few plays at the end."
Those final few plays — Stewart connected for two triples with under 19 seconds left — didn't ultimately go Sturgis' way.
Lakeshore went 4-of-6 from the free-throw line with less than 1:30 to go in the game, but Lancer coach Sean Schroeder thought his team should have been up by more than just a few points.
"We missed a lot of shots inside early in the game and we're lucky to win," Schroeder said. "I thought Sturgis out-competed us on every level tonight."
The two teams battled tough early on, with Stewart scoring the first 10 points for Sturgis and 12 of the team's 15 first half points.
Lakeshore led 10-8 after a triple by Mitch Meyer connected with 5 seconds left in the opening eight minutes.
Stewart did however have two fouls early, which changed his defensive style of play a bit.
"I think it hurt more defensively because I had to take a bit of the pressure off," Stewart said. "I think because of that they got some easy buckets at the hoop because I had to lay off a bit."
Yet, in the second quarter, the rest of the Trojan defense played great.
Sturgis got four points from Stewart and a triple from Patrick Haas, and led 15-14 heading into halftime. Stewart also picked up his third with less than a minute left in the half.
Kurowski's team defense picked it up and held Lakeshore to just four second quarter points.
The pace was certainly favoring Sturgis.
"Our goal was to play a game in the high 30s, low 40s and they came in averaging close to 60 and we don't score that," Kurowski said. "I told our guys to keep it down in the 30s but we just didn't hit enough shots."
Sturgis opened the third quarter with a bucket from Jalen Cox to re-gain the lead at 17-16.
And after back-to-back hoops inside from Stewart, Lakeshore's Michael Welch drilled a 3-pointer from the wing as time expired in the third. The Lancers led heading into the final eight minutes, 23-22.
"We are vey luck to win this game, their big kid (Stewart) absolutely dominated us," Schroeder said. "He absolutely killed us and that's a testament to how hard he played. He played harder than any of our guys."
Schroeder thought his team might not have taken Sturgis as seriously as they should have Monday.
"It's really disappointing for this coaching staff — if we make shots we should make, we have a double digit lead but we didn't make them tonight," Schroeder said. "I dunno if the kids weren't focused enough, but it's hard to believe you're not focused for a regional game."
Lakeshore eventually took a lead of six points at 34-28 late in the game, their biggest of the night.
Sturgis definitely wanted the game to be low-scoring.
"The last couple of days all we talked about was keeping the game in the 30s," Stewart said. "We wanted to play tough defense, get the ball inside and dog it out. We needed to knock down free throws and I thought we executed well, but just came up a bit short."
A pair of free throws late by Stewart brought it to 34-30 Lakeshore, but two at the line from Meyer and one from Welch were huge. The final triple by Stewart was nothing but net, but Sturgis fell one point short.
"We did what we wanted to do, I just wish we were able to hit a few more shots," Kurowski said. "This was probably one of our poorest shooting nights. You can't do that against a top state-ranked team. We had our chances but credit Lakeshore, they play with a lot of poise, they are experienced."
Sturgis shot just 12-of-33 (36.4 percent) from the field and 3-of-13 from downtown. At the foul line Sturgis was 9-of-15 while Lakeshore connected for 10-of-15.
Stewart finished with a monster game of 30 points and 20 rebounds while Haas had three points, Cox had two points and Eduardo Portillo connected on a free throw.
"I thought our guys stuck together all year and from the first game the whole season was a dogfight," Stewart said. "I couldn't be prouder to be a part of this team. We won three straight district titles and just to do that was impressive. This is going to hurt for a little bit, but I couldn't be prouder of how this team came together and played all the way until the end."
Lakeshore will take on South Haven in the regional finals Wednesday. The Rams beat Harper Creek 64-48 on Monday night.
White Pigeon 41, Bridgman 33
Halftime adjustments were pivotal as White Pigeon knocked off Bridgman, 41-33, in a Class C regional game Monday at Constantine.
"We made a few adjustments defensively in the second half taking away their bigs on the inside," Chiefs coach Tony Cholometes said. "They were sealing us on the backside after they would rotate the ball. I thought once we made that adjustment and we slid through, I thought it got them out of sorts from an offensive standpoint."
And on the offensive end, the Chiefs wanted to get the ball inside more.
"We talked to them, that we needed to quit dribbling the ball up top, holding it up," Cholometes said. "We needed to reverse the ball quick and trying to get the ball into our bigs. Have them work it inside and kick it in, get a high-low and go from there. Matt (Crowl) and Robbie (Gibson) did an excellent job."
The Chiefs will now face Schoolcraft 7 p.m. Wednesday with a regional title on the line at Constantine. The Eagles topped the Cardinals, 42-36, in the second semifinal contest Monday. Luke Ryskamp with 12 points and 13 rebounds and Zach Decker with 12 points and 11 rebounds led Schoolcraft.
The Bees opened up an early 5-1 lead, before a three-pointer by Matt Eger closed the gap to one. Moments later, Mitchell Moore hit a short jumper in the lead to give White Pigeon a 6-5 lead with 3:33 to go in the opening period.
It stayed that way until the end of the quarter.
Bridgman started the second quarter with a 9-0 run. It started with a triple by Dan Koziel, then baskets inside by Cooper Mojsiejenko and Eric Neiman.
"In the first half, I thought we were lethargic, I thought we didn't move the ball with the pass, we tried to move it with the dribble," Cholometes said. "I felt that hurt us, because we didn't get good movement. We did hold the ball too long and that allowed their defense to adjust. Once we got the ball moving, it made them work defensively and it opened up some opportunities for us."
The Chiefs' Branson Sayler hit a triple with 1:33 left to end the scoring drought. Gibson added a late basket to close the gap to 14-11 at halftime.
"I thought we took it to them defensively in the second half," Cholometes said. "I thought that was the difference in the ballgame."
Two baskets inside got the Chiefs the lead, 15-14. After a Bees triple gave them the lead again, Gibson hit two free throws to tie the game. Crowl split a pair at the line to put White Pigeon ahead, 18-17, with 2:01 left in the third quarter.
The Chiefs led 20-18 after three quarters.
"I thought we had real good guard play in the second half," Cholometes said. "I thought we looked to get it into our bigs, that was a difference in the ballgame. We were getting a touch inside every time down. I thought that was important. And then kicking it back out, we hit a couple of threes because of that."
The Bees offense was stagnated by the Chiefs defense in the final quarter.
"Then they were resorting to dribble penetration, they were firing up some threes," Cholometes said. "We wanted to extend they're offense, so they were chucking it from the cheap seats. We wanted the guys on the perimeter to play thier responsibilities and the guys down low to play their responsibilities."
The Chiefs built their largest lead, 32-20, with 3:25 left in the game, after a Crowl free throw.
Bridgman had one more run and closed the gap to 34-29 after an offensive putback by Koziel.
A layup by Salyer with just under a minute left stopped the run. Moore followed with 5-of-6 free throws down the stretch to give the Chiefs the victory.
Overall, White Pigeon was 20-for-32 for the game, while Bridgman was 9-for-18.
"It was a thriller from the standpoint that we need to finish on the free throw line," Cholometes said. "We finish on the free throw line and we win by quite a bit more."
Cholometes knew that Bridgman was a tough test for his team.
"That's an excellent team we just beat," he said. "You take a look at their schedule, coach (Mike) Miller lined up probably the toughest Class C schedule in the state of Michigan. They ended up playing South Bend Washington, Lakeshore, South Haven, Buchanan twice. He's played some huge schools. They were definitely a game-tested team."
And he was happy with the way his team won.
"Defense you can control," Cholometes said. "And if you can control that and work real hard on the defensive end, you can limit scoring opportunities and have a chance in any basketball game."
Eger, Gibson and Moore each tossed in 10 points to lead the Chiefs, Crowl finished with six and Salyer added five.
Mojsiejenko tallied 10 points to top the Bees, Koziel threw in nine, Matt Hendricks added six and Nick Knowlton and Neiman each had four.

The Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office is losing two long-time employees who are "trading the tension for a pension."
Sheriff Mike Tubbs hosted a luncheon June 19 for Sgt. Lucille Kennedy White who has worked with the department for 21 years and Major Terry Wyatt, who has served for 24 years.
White began her career serving criminal papers, and worked in the jail before becoming a radio dispatcher. She became the first Director of TRIAD, a commitment between the Sheriff, Chief of Police and retired workers implemented to improve the quality of life for senior citizens, and is retiring as the elderly abuse investigator.
"When you get older, people expect you to do crazy things and I am fixing to start living while I am living," White said.
Wyatt began his career as a patrol deputy and worked his way up the ranks, serving as shift lieutenant, as an investigator, as a sergeant in investigations and is retiring as the chief criminal investigator.
Wyatt said his future plans include a lot of "honey-dos."
Tubbs commended White and Wyatt for their years of service and presented them with a plaque of appreciation.
"Both Lucille and Terry are very good at what they do and we are going to miss them," Tubbs said.

Washington, DC – The National Center for Victims of Crime welcomes yesterday's unanimous House passage of a measure that continues our nations' commitment to eliminating the rape kit backlog and taking dangerous offenders off the streets.
Late Monday, the House of Representatives approved H.R.4323, a bill that reauthorizes the Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Grant Act and provides vital funding for crime labs to reduce their backlog of untested sexual assault kits. Reauthorization for the program runs out in October. The Senate is currently considering a larger package, S.822, which includes the Debbie Smith grants reauthorization provisions, and passed committee on October 31, 2013.
"Every untested rape kit has the potential to solve a crime and get serial rapists and murderers into custody," said Mai Fernandez, Executive Director of the National Center for Victims of Crime. "This bill will ensure jurisdictions have the funds to use DNA to make our communities safer. We now call on the Senate to pass this important legislation."
Debbie Smith grants also support law enforcement training on identification, collection, and preservation of forensic DNA and sexual assault nurse examiner programs, which provide survivors with compassionate post-assault medical care and evidence collection.
"The federal government plays a crucial role in supporting the use of DNA to solve violent crimes throughout the country, bring hope to victims, and exonerate the innocent, said Debbie Smith, rape survivor, advocate, and founder of H-E-A-R-T. "I know firsthand the power of this tool. We must continue to build on the progress made to identify rapists and other criminals more quickly and, by all means, not allow backlogs to be an excuse for making victims wait, often in fear, while their attackers roam free."
The bi-partisan legislation has the endorsement of the National Center for Victims of Crime and the Rape Abuse Incest National Network (RAINN).
More about the Debbie Smith Act
The Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Elimination Act provides funding to states and local governments to address their backlogged rape kits and other DNA evidence at crime labs across the country. Originally passed in 2004 and reauthorized in 2008, the Debbie Smith Grant Act has provided over $584 million to crime labs for DNA analysis that has helped identify perpetrators of the most violent crimes – rape and murder. While this funding has made a significant dent in the national backlog of rape kits, communities across the country are still struggling to keep up with testing. Recently, a Massachusetts Senate Committee announced that the Boston police crime lab faces an "unprecedented backlog" of rape kits due in part to "staffing concerns."
The National Center for Victims of Crime, established in 1985, is the nation's leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and those who serve them. For more than 25 years, the National Center has led this nation's struggle to provide crime victims with the rights, protections, and services they need to rebuild their lives.

The Iraqi newspaper al-Mada has obtained documents from the Iraqi oil ministry that purport to identify people who were given contracts to trade in oil under the U.N.'s oil-for-palaces program. Al-Mada has printed a list of the recipients. The Telegraph has the story:
Saddam Hussein bribed his way around the world, buying the support of presidents, ministers, legislators, political parties and even Christian churches, according to documents published in Iraq. The list of those who allegedly benefited from Saddam's largesse spans 46 countries.
The 270 individuals and organisations alleged to be in his pay included the sons of a serving Arab president, Arab ministers, a prominent Indonesian leader, the Palestinian Liberation Organisation, the party led by the Russian nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky and even the Russian Orthodox Church.
Here is a translation of the list, courtesy of Tim Blair. It includes a lot of interesting names. George Galloway, the Labour MP who led the British anti-war movement, is on it six times. France's former Interior Minister, Charles Pasqua, is on the list; he says he is innocent, but wouldn't put it past others to have been on Saddam's payroll. Suharto's daughter got oil money, as did the Palestinian Liberation Organization. A number of socialist and Communist organizations around the world got Saddam's oil money, but so did the Russian Orthodox Church. And in Italy, one "Father Benjamin." I assume this doesn't explain the Vatican's opposition to the war. And what do you suppose it means that "media" in Switzerland got oil money?
I assume this is just the smallest tip of a very large iceberg, and there is much more to come along the same lines.

Choosing Corn Hybrids with Diverse Genetics
Field Facts written by DuPont Pioneer Agronomy Sciences
Diversity is an important strategy to mitigate risk. In corn production, this means choosing diverse hybrid genetics to hedge against weather, disease or pest-related risks that might affect any particular product. However, because more seed companies are licensing hybrids from a single source, growers often do not get the genetic diversity they expect in their corn line-up.
The growing concentration of germplasm sources in the industry raises the possibility of similar genetics appearing in hybrids from different companies, and fewer truly different, top-performing hybrids.
Extension corn specialists see this as a serious problem. According to Emerson Nafziger, University of Illinois professor and Extension agronomist, corn growers typically plant a number of hybrids to spread risks. "Because growing conditions aren't very often near perfect, and we can't predict when a certain stress will occur, we plant different hybrids as insurance," Nafziger explains.
"The major stress we try to deal with in corn is during the pollination period," says Joe Lauer, professor and Extension corn agronomist at the University of Wisconsin. "And it's a very narrow window of time, usually about eight days beginning in the middle part of July through the beginning of August. If you plant all of your corn on all of your acres with one hybrid on the same day and hit a period of stress during pollination, then all of your corn is vulnerable." To reduce this risk, growers can either spread out planting dates or select hybrids with different maturities. This helps ensure that separate fields go through the pollination stage at different times, Lauer explains.
Diseases and other pest pressures also are major risks for corn production, Lauer says. "You can have different diseases or pests on the farm, based on its particular environment," he explains. "It pays to pay attention to the disease-resistance of hybrids and select for your field the best resistance package possible. Otherwise, you could have some trouble. It's important to have different genetics in your fields because of different disease and pest pressures in general." "Every hybrid has one or two sensitivities, and so planting diverse genetics — as long as this doesn't require using hybrids that carry obvious problems — is a sound management practice," Nafziger says.
Identical and Closely Related Hybrids
Choosing genetically diverse hybrids is a goal for most growers, but actually achieving diversity is often difficult. That's because growers could buy two hybrids with different brands and names yet they contain the same genetics, according to Lauer and Nafziger.
"There is a strong possibility that this happens," says Nafziger. "A comprehensive genetic analysis of all of today's hybrids would reveal considerable relatedness. And, in some cases, hybrids with different names would be genetically identical. This is possible because some companies that originate hybrids license their production and sell to other seed companies," Nafziger notes. "Most companies do this on a non-exclusive basis, meaning they can license the same hybrid or inbreds to more than one seed company."
Nafziger notes many related hybrids are not identical, but it's difficult to know the extent to which a slightly different genetic makeup affects performance in the field. Lauer agrees. "I think the danger of selecting similar genetics between companies has been the case for some time," he says. "The only time you wouldn't have it is when a seed company has its own breeder and its own genetics."
Steps Growers Can Take
To help ensure you're planting unique genetics, consider the following suggestions (from Nafziger, Lauer and Paul Carter, Pioneer agronomy sciences manager):
- Buy unique hybrids across a range of maturities that match your operation.
While Federal seed law allows seed to be sold under a brand name, it also requires the seed corn tags or bags to identify the variety name. To spread your risk, check the variety name on the tag to make sure you're not planting hybrids from two different companies that have the same variety name.
- Your seed provider can help you locate the variety information on the tag or bag. They can also help you better understand how much genetic diversity you're purchasing within the lineup of the company they represent.
- Pay particular attention to harvest moisture values of hybrids tested in the same trial. If they are more than one or two moisture percentage points different, they most likely are different hybrids. A good relationship with a knowledgeable and experienced seed company representative also can help you obtain transparent information about the genetics of hybrid seed products you buy.
Genetic Diversity in Hybrids from Pioneer
Pioneer offers real genetic diversity. Each and every Pioneer® brand hybrid is a unique product. No other product on the market will offer the same genetic and trait combination to growers. Pioneer customers can be certain that each Pioneer brand hybrid is different from other Pioneer brand hybrids and genetically different from competitive brands. Your Pioneer sales professional can help you select a package of hybrids with diverse genetics and the right combination of traits for each particular field.
Pioneer products are unique in the marketplace
- Pioneer inbreds, varieties and hybrids are specific to Pioneer and are proprietary. They cannot be used by other companies without Pioneer's express consent
- Pioneer has developed its products from a unique genetic base that has been developed over the last 80 years and which continues to increase in diversity.
- Germplasm is at the heart of Pioneer's business and is key to the performance of products.
- Growers have invested in Pioneer products with the understanding the company will continue to re-invest in the development of improved products. Pioneer's ability to continue that mutually beneficial process depends on the ability of the business to protect the germplasm it has developed.
- Pioneer has initiated and maintains a scientifically proven testing program to help determine if there has been a misappropriation of Pioneer germplasm among its competitors.
- Pioneer supports the Federal Seed Act and is in compliance with all seed labeling regulations. Representing the same hybrid as two or more different varieties is a violation of the Federal Seed Act, which serves to protect farmers and growers from this danger.
- Crops are always at risk from disease, insects and weather. Varieties that are based upon different genetics when coupled with transparent labeling allow farmers to manage production risks that could be associated with any one particular genotype.
- Without assurance of the differences between hybrids, growers don't have the ability to make good risk management choices.

I purchased the YACH interface for my GH4 and am having difficulty deciding on a power supply. Indipro makes a battery powered supply. They also make an AC powered one that converts AC to DC 12V 6A. The YAGH specs list the power source as DC 12V 1.4A. Can I use the AC power supply?
Does anyone own the YAGH? If so, What power supply do you use? Panasonic does not make one which seems a little odd.
Thanks for your help.

Judge: Navy deal for rifle silencers may be legit
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A judge Friday questioned the viability of a prosecution against a man accused of conspiring to illegally build hundreds of untraceable rifle silencers on a no-bid contract, ostensibly for the Navy's elite SEAL Team 6.
At a pretrial hearing, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema suggested that there may be classified evidence in the case that shows Mark Stuart Landersman, a race-car mechanic from Temecula, Calif., had legitimate — but off-the-books — authorization from the Navy to build the silencers.
"It is intriguing ... that if there is genuine authorization to obtain this type of weapon under this type of method — off-the-record, off the books — that makes it very difficult" for prosecutors to win their case, Brinkema said.
Brinkema said the prosecution of Landersman — details of which are largely classified and under seal — is "a unique, one-of-a-kind situation" and said the government's pursuit of a conviction against him may be leading prosecutors "deeper and deeper into a morass that may go nowhere."
Friday's hearing occurred as Brinkema decided how to grant prosecutors access to evidence that the defense has brought to the judge. The details of that evidence are not public, but Brinkema said that several of the witnesses are reluctant to come forward because they fear retaliation by their superiors.
Exactly why the silencers were purchased is unclear. According to court papers in a related case, an unnamed senior Navy intelligence officer identified as a conspirator told a Navy employee that the silencers were for the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, the formal name for SEAL Team 6, the unit that gained fame for killing Osama bin Laden. But NSWDG representatives told investigators that they never ordered any silencers.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Morris Parker told the judge he disagreed with her assessment of the case, citing in part irregularities in how the contract was awarded. He also questioned the accuracy of evidence brought forward by the defense, saying some of it has turned out to be untrue.
Complicating matters is that one of the Navy officers involved in authorizing the contract is Landersman's brother, David Landersman.
According to the indictment and an affidavit from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Landersman was paid $1.7 million in 2012 to build 349 rifle suppressors — about $4,500 each. Similar silencers available through regular government channels cost anywhere from $937 to $1,700 each. The indictment states that Landersman paid another man $10,000, including materials, to build the suppressors.
In addition, court records indicate that the silencers lacked serial numbers and were manufactured in violation of federal firearms laws.
John Zwerling, one of Landersman's lawyers, said after the hearing that Brinkema's assessment of the case's weaknesses is accurate.
"We believe he made certain items, shipped them to the Navy, and what he did was lawful and authorized," Zwerling said.

SUMAS, Wash. (AP) — Four people were in custody Wednesday after what officials described as a foiled drug smuggling run across Washington state's border with Canada.
Court documents unsealed Wednesday say American Border Patrol agents encountered two camouflaged men trying to smuggle 58 pounds of MDMA, or ecstasy, into the U.S. east of Sumas on Tuesday.
One, identified as Jeffrey Laviolette, was captured. Agents say the other, identified as Nathan Hall, fired a gunshot at them and ran. Hall was later arrested in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
Investigators also arrested a Bellingham woman, Kali Henifin, who they say planned on picking up the pair at the border, and her boyfriend, Ryan Lambert, who told officers that he was going to be paid $11,000 to drive the drugs to San Francisco, according to a federal complaint.
Lambert and Henifin told agents they were monitoring a police-scanner cell phone application when they heard news of the shooting and left the area, the document said.
The three defendants in U.S. custody have been charged with conspiracy and possession of MDMA with intent to distribute. They made initial appearances Wednesday in federal court in Seattle and were ordered detained pending further hearings.
Border Patrol agents said they encountered the two men carrying backpacks at 9:10 Tuesday in the Columbia Valley area, about five miles east of the highway border crossing at Sumas. The area is a known drug smuggling corridor.
A manhunt ensued with local and national law enforcement agents searching both sides of the border on the ground and by helicopter.

It dawned on me recently that I've never provided my treasured readers with a concise dose of workplace advice that can be clipped out, laminated and hung on a cubicle wall.
For a workplace advice columnist (America's most beloved), this is a gross oversight. So I set out to correct that.
Though a pithy cubicle sign may seem trite, it does reflect a belief I hold dear. Our workplaces can be wildly complex, but the fundamental dynamics behind a happy, well-run organization are simple. It's reasonable that they should fit on a small piece of paper and be seen regularly with the hope they'll be effected.
Here, then, is my offering, which I hope will soon hang on cubicle walls and break room refrigerators everywhere:
That's, right. F.E.A.R.
It stands for Figure, Examine, Alter and Remember. And let me guarantee upfront that if every worker in America can learn to live in F.E.A.R., we'll all be better off.
Here's how the acronym breaks down:
•Figure: Before engaging in any kind of workplace interaction — sending an email, calling a meeting, asking a question — anything! — Figure out whether what you're about to do is necessary.
A large part of what workers do is waste time on things that don't need to be done. Consider how many pointless meetings you've attended. Or how many times you've asked someone a question only to hear the answer and say, "Oh, shoot, I knew that!" (Congratulations, you just wasted your time and the other person's.)
Before engaging in any action at work, take a few seconds to be certain it's necessary. Time will be saved. People will be happier.
•Examine: Another huge frustration at work is people talking — or emailing or instant-messaging — before they think. Even the most well-intentioned questions or comments can come out crass if they're blurted out.
Offhand comments that come out wrong put people on the defensive, hurt feelings and generally bring productivity to a screeching halt. It takes only a sliver of your time to Examine an email before you send it or to mentally Examine the words you're about to speak. Perhaps what you're about to communicate is better left unsaid or you can at least tweak a thought so it sounds less accusatory.
The seconds it takes to Examine what's about to come from your mouth or onto a co-worker's screen is time well spent.
•Alter: IT IS OK TO CHANGE YOUR THINKING. Many workplaces foster a perceived need to be strong-willed and bullheaded, to communicate in a "shoot from the hip" fashion.
That's counterproductive. If you've Figured out that what you're saying or doing is necessary and you've Examined how you're about to say it, the next step is to change course if necessary.
We've all thought about saying something in a meeting, wondered briefly whether it might not be a good idea and said it anyway. That rarely works out well.
The ability to halt a potentially bad comment or delete a sentence that could be misconstrued is like a muscle that needs to be exercised. You have to work on it until it's a strong and automatic response.
Altering a bad idea might transform it into a good idea.
•Remember: This is where I encourage you to Remember my mantra, which is wonderfully simple yet somehow overlooked: Be a decent human being.
(Technically the last letter of the acronym should have been a "B" for "Be," I suppose, but then it would've read: F.E.A.B. And that's a lot less memorable than F.E.A.R., so I stand by my acronymization.)
Almost every workplace problem I've come across has its roots in one person being unthoughtful or unkind. But for that one action, the problem would not exist.
The "R" is the glue that holds F.E.A.R. together. Cooperation, respect and smooth interactions are the goal, and if Figuring, Examining and Altering don't get you there, Remembering the mantra will.
I joke around a fair amount, but don't doubt my sincere belief in F.E.A.R., an intentionally silly acronym that I hope makes a point. It's a simple concept, but it has the power to make a huge difference in our work lives. (It's kind of like the Yoda of slogans.)
So here's the part you can clip out, laminate or just hang or have professionally framed or whatever:
Embrace F.E.A.R.!
Figure. Examine. Alter. Remember.
(to be a decent human being!)
If you're reading this online, remove the portion of your screen it's on with some form of glass cutter. I'm pretty sure that will work.
On second thought, you might want to apply the steps of F.E.A.R. to that idea. Your IT department will likely thank you.

Before the directors of the new Walt Disney Animation movie "Big Hero 6″ settled on their story, they created the world in which it's set: a jammed, vibrant place called San Fransokyo.
A mash-up of San Francisco and Tokyo set in the not-too-distant future, San Fransokyo is a dense, hilly city with cable cars and cherry blossoms, Victorian row houses and glittering neon billboards.
The filmmakers' idea — never stated in the film — is that in a parallel universe after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the city split off and an influx of Japanese immigrants helped rebuild it.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A South African gold mining company says two of its workers have been killed and another injured in violence at one of its mines as unrest continues in the industry.
Harmony Gold Mining Co. Ltd. said Friday that the attack happened late Thursday at its Kusasalethu mine near Carletonville, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of Johannesburg. Harmony said production at the mine had not been affected by the attack. The company said police had begun an investigation.
The killings come after weeks of labor unrest at mines across South Africa, one of the nation's biggest economic engines. Violence during strikes at Lonmin PLC's platinum mine near Marikana led to the deaths of 46 people, including 34 miners who were shot dead by police.

The definitive edition installs itself as an app, at least on console. The app is where you find the behind the scenes and soundtracks, and the game is just the game file, it seems.
That doesn't make sense to me... because it says it includes all characters, yet there are clearly a couple that I am still missing. I will look again, but when looking at it on pc it also says the app doesn't work on this device... which is weird, because the game itself definitely does...
It includes all the characters up to season 3. ou still have to buy Kilgore and Shin Hisacco, as far as I know.
Where is Shadow Jago located on the select screen? Also... how are ultimates performed?
To get ultimates, download the free pack, "ultimate masters pack" for now, there's a second pack with a different name coming in May. Once the pack is installed, as long as you are on your first health bar and you get the opponent into danger, start your characters ultra combo, then press lp plus lk.
Shadow Jago is located, I believe, 4 right from Jago. Kilgore is located up once, left once, from Jago. Omen is located below shadow jago, and Shin Hissaco is located below Omen. Random has to be access by pressing up once from Shadow Jago.
We had to download a pack for ultimates? That explains why it's not working! hahaha.
Yes, for some reason. I find it a little odd to be honest.
af keep in mind that not thee entire casts has ultimates, I would only say like 5 of them have it at the moment
34 2017-04-18 15:46:28 (edited by assault_freak 2017-04-18 15:48:58)
Another question... because googling takes a long time and can't find anything useful. Playing on PC isn't the best experience at the moment, as my computer can run the game, with minr enough lag to make it a little annoying. That, and the pc menus are different than in Sightless's and Ultracombo's community guide... I hope narrator support finds its way into this game. I am wondering about player level... can that be obtained playing offline, or do I have to play online? There seems to be no way to check if I'm going up at all or not. Also, does anyone have an updated single player menu? Shadow Labs would be handy to have... and survival mode seems to be proving very hard to find at the moment. Going down three times once in the fight menu doesn't seem to be it. At least, I don't think it is. I select my character... then it starts making sounds like I'm in Shadow Lab. And Shadow Lab is also a mode that intrigues me.
Survival mode went through a few changes recently, and I don't really know where thenew menu is. I think the first option in the survival menu is now shadow survival, and if you go down you find normal survival. So I think to get to normal survival, you press a on single player, then fight, then down to survival menu which I'm guessing is down three but I could be wrong, then down once to normal survival.
Yep. I can confirm that having tried it... for anyone else who is curious. Survival hasn't gone through any changes other than that. Normal survival still plays exactly like it used to.
Since this apparently seems to be the new official KI thread, has anyone read the Killer Instinct Novela? I'm going through it, but am losing interest fast... definitely not the best novelization of the game that could be done. the fight scenes especially aren't all that well written, and the novel doesn't capture any of the brutality of dark atmosphere... this is turning into some sort of urban fantacy, almost. lol
And from an accessibility standpoint, has anyone been in touch with IG or the folks at microsoft at least on public forums about increased accessibility? I would, but as I am somewhat of a non entity there because I've never posted there, I likely wouldn't have any weight behind any statements I made.
Pulled off Jago's ultra twice in one combo yesterday during a hard survival match complete with instinct cancel and ann ultimate to finish it off! Wish I'd recorded it... it was a great moment. hahaha.
@Assault: I've said some stuff, and I know at the very least one other person has too. There ma be more but there's definitely me and this other person.
40 2017-04-19 17:21:19 (edited by assault_freak 2017-04-19 17:25:19)
lol... I think using names is fine, we know who the other person is. I may drop a message on the ultracombo forums myself some time soon, provided I can find the time to figure out how to word it right. I definitely wouldn't mind being involved in the KI community more.
Just as a fun idea, wondering if anyone would listen to a recording demonstrating the various states of dynamic music? I can only do this in local vs, I think, since training mode doesn't let you select stages or tracks. If I was to do this, which tracks would you like me to explore?
If you are targeting potentially new players, I'd recommend Jago's theme, and also another interesting one seems to be Riptor even though Riptor's theme itself isn't necessarily the best. Also, Arbiter's theme is OK for states too.
Out of curiosity have you heard about the theme selector menu? There was an awesome update a while back that put the themes in release order so they are much easier to find. You can access the menu by pressing y/medium punch on the stage selection screen with a controller, and it is then an up and down menu that wraps. Going up once will get you, for example, shin hassaco's theme. Just remember when you're done, to either press x to switch back to default, so you press y to go into theme menu, then x to reset to default, or simply restart the game to reset to default anyway.
Why Jago's theme for new players? All the themes do well, I think... I'm just curious what people would like to hear. But so far, not a lot of interest... and if I do this, it will take a while. My personal favourites are Tusk, Kim Woo, and Jago's. I'm not a fan of a lot of season 3 music, it went too heavy metal... seasons 1 and 2 had a lot more musical variation, imo. But Season 3 is still good by all means. Contrast Tusk and Kim Woo's updated themes to their original though, and the style is very different. Having said all that, I like all the music, including much of the heavier stuff from season 3.
The reason I suggest Jago for new players is because he seems to be kind of the poster boy for KI.
Well, every fighting has a poster boy... and I'm not actually sure who Killer Instinct's is. It's not nearly as well known as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, and when thinking of Killer Instinct Jago doesn't actually come to my mind all that often. lol But I probably will start with that one, if I do do this.
Have to admit sabrewolfs idle theme is wonderful. And fulgor/thunder
You mean that fulgor and Thunder's theme are both good? Or something else... I'm a little confused because of the /. I agree, though, though Fulgor's theme has less appeal to me. It sits right in that pocket of thrash metal that I don't really like personally. haha.
I think DanC means they're both as good as each other.
there's a bit in the middle of Fulgor's theme that I believe is a callback which I really like.
Thunder's is just fantastic with the instruments used. To be honest, I'm a fan of most of the soundtrack, just haven't been able to play around due to not having a second controller yet.
Also, my forum issue appears to have been fixed, so I can post properly again.
I love Thunder's theme. And when you say middle, that's a bit hard to pinpoint.. since the songs have no eal progression, it depends on the fight, which is what's so awesome about it. I'm still debating to do this or not.

Cross-browser selection UI injection flow:
mouseup on
s.isCollapsed === false, return
e.innerHTML and
e.textContent now return useful values, and e's coordinates can be used to inject UI into the page
To resolve: what element should e be? Or more accurately, what display property should it have?
inline-block (inline mucks up if selection is across block elements, block mucks up selections within text nodes)

SANTA ANA, CA (AP) Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa, has filed for divorce from the Los Angeles Lakers star.
Vanessa Bryant filed papers Friday in Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
A representative for the couple released a statement saying, "The Bryants have resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately with the assistance of counsel and a Judgment dissolving their marital status will be entered in 2012."
The couple have been married for 10 1/2 years and have two daughters, ages 8 and 5.
In the statement, the Bryants "ask that in the interest of our young children and in light of the upcoming holiday season the public respect our privacy during this difficult time."

Student Services
If you are studying or writing a paper in a specific area of the law, our legal topics pages, or our subscription databases, are a good place to begin your research. These pages link to websites, research guides, and resources that have been evaluated and selected by the Reference Librarians.
If you are looking for aid in bluebooking or more generally in scholarly writing, then the pages on Law Review Research may help.
The Librarians are actively involved in research training, and offer advanced or refresher trainings in Westlaw and Lexis for students. Please note that our Westlaw and Lexis contracts limit usage to educational purposes.
The New England Law Librarians staff the Reference Desk for more hours than any other local library, and are available virtually through our Ask Reference service.
If you need assistance finding materials in the library, you can consult PORTIA or ask at the Information Desk for help. We circulate laptops, tape recorders, and dvd players.
If the Law Library does not own a resource, the material can be requested from another library through an interlibrary loan. If you would like to suggest a purchase, we will consider it. For details, click here.
At the beginning of each semester, the library publicizes First Assignments and posts syllabi. We also archive exams from prior semesters, and provide CALI DVD's to students for exam preparation and review.
Group Study Rooms and Carrels
The library has 13 rooms available for students to reserve for group study. For rules and policies on reserving these rooms, click here . New England Law students can also reserve one of 9 carrels to store materials for on-going research projects.
Career Resources
The Career Resources LibGuide lists materials held both in the main library and in the Career Services Office.
Printing and copying
Networked printing stations are at a central location on each floor of the library. To print from a laptop, students need to download a small program from the Technology and Media services site. Here is a direct link to Student Printing - Print Driver Packets.
Copicards are used at the copiers located on each floor, and also on the print stations located on the first floor and the basement. Copy card vending machines are located on the first floor and basement level (patrons need to start with a $1.00 and then can add additional value to a card). In addition, copiers on the first floor and basement accept $1 and $5 bills and give change.
A microform reader/printer is located on the basement level of the library. The reader/printer is set up to scan microform images. Paper copies of microforms are free to print.
The scanner, located in the basement of the library, can save to a usb drive or send the scanned document to email. The color resolution is excellent. It will save in Word, PDF, or searchable PDF format, and it walks you through the process with exceptionally clear directions. It will also scan books easily, as it is designed to let you hang the book over the corner to avoid losing the words at the bend in the middle.

Here, Private Education is a Value Investment
Our affordable tuition and comprehensive financial aid program makes Concordia University, St. Paul one of the best private college values in Minnesota.
Our affordable tuition and comprehensive financial aid program makes Concordia University, St. Paul one of the best private college values in Minnesota.
What information can be found on my award letter?
Your award letter shows you your costs and the total amount of aid (Federal, State and CSP based aid) you qualify for in a given academic year to cover those costs. The academic year runs from fall (August) through summer (July).
Why does my award not show any summer aid?
Your award will only show aid for fall and spring; summer aid is awarded during the end of the spring semester for those students who enrolled for at least 6 credits and complete a summer financial aid application. The application is available in the Student Financial Services department.
How much does Concordia University cost?
Most charges are listed in the COST area of your award letter. The most common costs are tuition, room and board. The cost of tuition for a traditional student is based on the credit load taken, the costs are as follows:
1-5 credits $460 per credit
6-11 credits $885 per credit
12-19 credits $10,625 per semester and $21,250 for the 2016-2017 academic year
Standard room and board is $4,250 per semester for students. Single room options or alternative meal plans will incur additional fees. For specific costs, please speak with the Residence Life Manager or a Student Financial Services representative.
What other charges are not listed in the cost section?
Some additional charges that can increase the tuition costs:
Private Music Lessons cost $215 for 30 minute lessons and $430 for an hour lesson.
Science classes with labs will commonly have lab fees ranging from $25-$50.
Reference other costs in the Tuition & Fees section below or with the Student Financial Services department at
(651) 603-6300 or firstname.lastname@example.com
How much aid have I been offered?
Offered aid is listed in two sections, Gift Aid (money that doesn't have to be paid back) and Loans (money that you eventually repay).
Gift aid is commonly academic, athletic or departmental scholarships, as well as Federal, State or institutional grants. Since gift aid doesn't have to be paid back, no additional documentation is needed to accept this aid.
What does my "amount remaining to pay" include?
This amount is your costs minus gift aid. This amount does not reflect any non-CSP grants and scholarships OR loans you may have applied for. This balance reflects the additional aid you need to secure to cover your balance.
How do I cover my remaining balance?
Notify the Student Financial Services department of any non-CSP scholarships and grants that you are expecting. You can deduct the scholarship amounts from the balance due and then consider if you will pay any portion out of pocket.
If you will not pay any funds out of pocket, you may consider applying for student loans to cover the remaining amount. If you are paying a portion or all of the remaining balance out of pocket, then you can make a payment via the cashier or online by credit card or from your checking or savings account. You may also want to consider a payment plan. Information on payment plans is available on the payments page. Make a payment now
Which loan do I choose? I have been offered more than one.
We offer you multiple loan programs because there are different regulations with each and some programs may be more appealing to you. Also, some loan programs have annual limits and one loan may not cover all of your costs, so you may need to apply for more than one. Specific questions can be answered by your financial aid counselor.
Do I have to accept all the loans offered?
We commonly offer loan amounts above what you may need but that doesn't mean you have to accept the offered amount. The award letter is a reflection of the maximum amount of gift aid and direct Stafford loans you qualify for; you can request a reduction in any of the offered aid. You should only apply for the amount of loan funds you need.
When I apply for a loan, what period should it cover?
If you plan to be enrolled in both the fall and the spring semesters your student loan will be set for one disbursement each semester, if you are graduating after one semester, then you can apply for a fall-only or spring only loan.
Can I take out a loan for one semester only?
In most situations, you should apply for the loan for both semesters and the funds are sent in two equal disbursements. This way, you apply for the loan in the fall semester and funds will come in the fall and spring.
Will I receive the full amount of the loans offered to me?
One thing to remember is that with Stafford loans, and some other loans, there can be loan processing fees charged. The fee is commonly 2% of the total amount and this fee is taken out of the total loan amount. So, if you are offered and accept $3500 in Stafford funds, you will receive $3,430 for the year ($70 is the 2% loan charge), which is $1,715 per semester. Please keep that in mind when you are trying to cover your balance.
Can I include work-study funds in my aid?
Work-study funds are earned when you are hired for either an on-campus or certain selected off-campus positions. Those funds are earned as you work and are paid bi-weekly. You can chose to have your earnings paid directly to you or have them go directly towards your balance. Commonly students use the funds for miscellaneous expenses they incur. For more information on how to apply work-study funds to your balance, please speak with your financial aid counselor.
Can I buy books using my aid?
Yes, if you have a surplus on your account. When you have more aid coming in than your costs, you have a surplus of aid. You may use those funds to pay for your books. If aid is not received yet, and as long as all the proper documentation has been completed, we can "charge" your books to your student account. To set this up, see your financial aid counselor.
Can I borrow more aid than what my costs are?
Yes, you can use any of the offered aid to assist you with any educational-related expense. For instance, many students who live off-campus use the additional funds to rent, food, gas, etc.
I have additional funds in my student account, how can I get them?
Once your funds are received and your charges are paid, your funds will be sent to you. You need to set up direct-deposit for the funds to be released to the checking or savings account of your choice. You need to complete the Direct Deposit Authorization Form and send in a savings deposit slip OR a voided check.

(assuming the student is independent on the FAFSA)
Freshman (0 -31 credits) $9,500 maximum
Sophomore (32-63 credits) $10,500 maximum
Junior or Senior (64 or more credits) $12,500 maximumThere are two types of Stafford loans:
Accepting a Stafford Loan
To accept a Federal Stafford Loan, please complete the Stafford loan entrance counseling and sign this Stafford Master Promissory Note (MPN).
If your tuition was not covered fully by Federal Stafford loans and Need-Based Grants, you will need to pay the remainder out of pocket or apply for a Private Educational loan. There are many types of student loans, and it is important for you to choose the one that best meets your needs. FASTChoice is a tool that helps you to compare lenders and their loan products.
The earliest students and their families may apply for financial aid is October 1. Awarding begins in November. Also, the earlier students and their families apply for financial aid, the sooner they will receive their award package.
A typical financial aid package starts with consideration of the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by the FAFSA submission. Using the EFC, Concordia University will award institutional, state, and federal grants as eligibility allows. Campus work-study and student loans also will be awarded to meet demonstrated financial need only. The PLUS loan, a loan for parents and private education loan options will be presented if additional help is needed.
Students must be admitted to Concordia University and have completed a FAFSA. Approximately 10 days after the application file is complete students can expect to receive their financial aid award package.
Students, parents, and borrowers are required to use an FSA ID, made up of a username and password, to access certain U.S. Department of Education websites. Your FSA ID is used to confirm your identity when accessing your financial aid information and electronically signing your federal student aid documents. The FSA ID replaced the Federal Student Aid PIN on May 10, 2015. Learn more and create your ID here: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa/filling-out/fsaid.
Grant money is applied to student accounts on the first day of classes. Federal loan money is applied to student accounts following the drop-add period. Private loans are disbursed as soon as all requirements are met.
If a credit balance remains after all tuition and fees have been paid for the semester, students receive the overage within 14 days. Overages are determined after the drop/add deadline.
What does this mean?
Verification is a process that all universities receiving federal aid are required to complete. The purpose of verification is not to find fraudulent FAFSA applicants, but to find and correct common mistakes made during the filing of the FAFSA. If the verification process is not completed, a student will not be considered for any need-based financial aid.

Sox win
Napoli homers, Lackey shuts out TigersBy SportsDirect Inc.
October 15. 2013 8:24PM
Mike Napoli homered and John Lackey tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings as visiting Boston edged Detroit to take a 2-1 lead in the American League Championship Series.
Napoli smashed a full-count fastball from Justin Verlander over the fence in left-center field with out in the seventh for the lone run allowed by the Tigers ace in 23 innings this postseason. Game 4 in the best-of-7 series is Wednesday in Detroit.
Lackey (1-0) struck out eight and gave up four hits and walked none in a strong outing. The bullpen got the final seven outs, including four from Koji Uehara for the save.
Verlander (0-1) struck out 10 – setting a postseason record with six career games of 10 or more strikeouts – and allowed one run and four hits in eight innings. He also matched the postseason record of six consecutive strikeouts when he fanned the last three batters in the second inning and struck out the side in the third.
Detroit had runners on first and third in the eighth before Junichi Tazawa struck out Miguel Cabrera and Uehara entered and fanned Prince Fielder. Uehara allowed a lead single to Victor Martinez in the ninth before inducing Jhonny Peralta to bounce into a double play and striking out Alex Avila.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Detroit pitchers have fanned 43 batters, a record through three games of a Championship Series. … Napoli's only previous homer against Verlander came on May 4, 2006 – in his first major-league at-bat as a member of the Los Angeles Angels. … The game was delayed for 17 minutes due to a power outage prior to the bottom of the second inning.

GW don't seem to be very enthusiastic about supporting WOTR -- which is a real shame, as the game is just a few patches and rules tweaks away from being really awesome.

LONDON (AP) — The company that owns London's Stansted airport says it is selling it to the Manchester Airports Group for 1.5 billion pounds ($2.38 billion.)
Airport operator Heathrow Airport Holdings, formerly known as BAA, had to sell Stansted and other airports after British competition authorities ruled that it had an unfair market advantage over rival operators.
The Competition Commission in 2009 ordered the operator to sell Stansted, London's third busiest airport. It had already sold airports in Gatwick and Edinburgh.
The deal announced Friday means that Heathrow Airport Holdings will be responsible for just four British airports — Heathrow, Southampton, Aberdeen and Glasgow — compared to an original seven it had.
The sale is expected to be completed by the end of February.
