Both the host team from Germantown Academy and the girls of Penn Charter were in action last weekend at GA's 16th Annual Make-A-Wish Tournament. Also known as Teams for Dreams, the event drew a record crowd this year. As always, the proceeds were donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses.
Instead of employing a regular tournament bracket, the games were all prescheduled to avoid the possibility of Inter-Ac members GA and PC playing one another before their two official league games in 2013.
GA senior Kiernan McCloskey, a superbly athletic 6'1" forward who signed with Lehigh University last month, gave a bravura performance in the two-night engagement, scoring a total of 47 points in two intense victories. On Friday evening the Patriots (3-3 overall) fought off a late run by Lawrenceville School to win 49-43, and the following evening the tourney hosts had an even closer scrape, shading Shipley School 45-41. GA junior Margaret Ann Hubbell, a sturdy 5'9" forward who transferred in from Central Bucks East High School this year, scored 17 points in the tournament and hauled down a total of 25 rebounds.
Although Penn Charter did not face GA, the Quakers had their hands full with the other two tourney teams, first falling to Shipley, 48-29, and then losing to Lawrenceville on Saturday afternoon, 64-24.
Shipley was 3-2 overall after the tournament. The Gators lost their season-opener to New Jersey's Blair Academy, a member of the Mid-Atlantic Prep League along with Lawrenceville, and in their Friends Schools League debut they defeated Germantown Friends. In the Pa. Independent Schools Tournament last season, Shipley knocked off then-defending champ Germantown Academy in the semifinal round before going on to beat top-seeded Hill School in the championship game.
"We didn't talk about that, because at this point in the season we're just trying to go out and get better each game," said Patriots head coach Sherri Retif. "After the game it was nice to think about last year, but not going into it."
Penn Charter has a young squad that is dealing with a number of graduation gaps, and after last weekend's set of games the Quakers were back to the .500 mark at 3-3 overall. At the GA tournament, the simple truth is that Charter ran into two very talented teams, and there were no miraculous upsets.
The Quakers went into Friday's tourney game fresh off of an intense league opener, in which they edged out an improving Baldwin School squad, 43-41. A few minutes into Friday's tilt, Charter was hanging just one point behind the Gators at 6-5, but the Quakers' offense dried up and Shipley slowly pulled away.
The tally was 10-5 at the quarter, and by the time it reached 13-5 early in the second round PC was already coping with six team fouls. When the half ended, Shipley was up 19-12, with Charter getting a late boost from freshman point guard Hannah Fox, who hit a free throw and a pair of three-point field goals.
Shipley spread the score to 33-16 by the end of the third quarter, then a pair of driving lay-ups by Penn Charter freshman Ayanna Matthews touched off a modest rally for the Quakers. Duplicating her second-quarter output, Fox funneled in two more three's and one free throw.
Two foul shots by junior Kristina Kubach brought the gap back down into single figures with 3:09 left to play (38-29), but the Quakers got no closer as the Gators finished the game with a 10-0 flourish. Fox had a game-high 14 points while Matthews ended up with eight and sophomore forward Nicolette Napoleon scored five.
Point guard Tamesha "Sox" Alexander led the winners with 13 points and perimeter marksman Colleen Walsh scored all of her 11 points in the second half. Balancing things out in the frontcourt were Martine Fortune (a 6'4" sophomore) and Courtney Redcross (a freshman), with eight and seven points, respectively.
The next day the Quakers faced another team with superior size in Lawrenceville, which has one 6'3" starter (Cari Jenkins, who will attend the U.S. Military Academy) another player the same size (a Swiss import) on the bench. Although Jenkins has been playing through an injury and was nowhere close to 100 percent, the Big Red were taller than the Quakers at every other position, as well.
Fired up after suffering their first loss of the season in the game with GA the night before, Lawrenceville bolted to a 19-3 lead over the first five-and-a-half minutes. A "three" from Matthews accounted for PC's points during this stretch, and even with Napoleon hitting a lay-up on an inbounds play later on, the gap was 18 points (23-5) at the quarter.
The scoreboard had climbed to 44-9 by halftime and to 52-12 at the end of the third period. Lawrenceville used its bench liberally and PC was able to double its total during the fourth quarter, but a 40-point gap remained at the final horn.
PC's points all came from Matthews (11), Napoleon (seven), and Fox (six), while the Big Red was led by juniors Megan Reilly (14 points), Amanni Fernandez (13), and Jacquie Klotz (nine). Eight points apiece were added by Kennedy Guest-Pritchett, a sophomore from Georgia, and senior Julia Bretz, a senior who has committed to Duke for crew.
GA entered Friday's bout against Lawrenceville with an overall mark of 1-3. The Patriots launched their 2012-2013 campaign and began the defense of their Inter-Ac League title all on the same day, drubbing Baldwin School, 64-16. Two losses followed when Germantown faced a pair of powerful Baltimore teams on a jaunt below the Mason Dixon Line, and the team suffered a 42-29 setback in an Inter-Ac outing at Episcopal Academy.
"The competition's been tough and it's been a baptism by fire, but I think that's okay," said Retif. "With the tournament in Maryland and the busy schedule I think we've averaged one practice a week, so the games have sort of been practices for us also."
Back home once more on Friday, GA was tied up 12-12 at the end of the first period of play against Lawrenceville, which arrived at the event with a 2-0 mark. The Patriots moved ahead in a 15-7 second period and stayed there, although the Lady Larrys did not fade away.
Lawrenceville closed within two points both in the middle of the third quarter (27-25) and one minute into the final frame (37-35).
GA went up by a dime at 47-37, then the Big Red closed it up to 47-42 in the final minute but couldn't get any closer. A 25-point showing by GA's McCloskey was supported by eight points apiece from Hubbell (12 rebounds) and from 5'10" freshman guard Kendall Grasela (seven rebounds).
Rounding out the total were four points from senior guard Fran Sweeney (who will play at Emory University), three from sophomore guard Olivia Gorman, and one from 5'11" freshman forward Lauren Oeth (Oeth's brother James, one year older, is a distance runner at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy). Klotz and Reilly led Lawrenceville with 14 points apiece, and Fernandez added nine.
GA raced to an 8-0 lead as Saturday night's game got underway, but Shipley said "not so fast" and ran off nine straight to take the lead. After each team scored again, GA senior Dempsey Cooper (a University of Rhode Island signee) struck from the left edge of the foul circle to nudge the hosts ahead 12-11 for the start of the second round.
Scoring on a follow, Shipley's Fortune posted the first points in the new period, and even as close as the game was in the final seconds, this 13-12 edge was actually the Gators' last lead of the night. In a two-minute stretch, the Pats' McCloskey packed a pair of three-pointers around a lay-up to fuel an 8-2 Germantown run.
After that, GA's Grasela and Gorman traded three-point buckets with Walsh and fellow Shipley junior Asia Baker to make it 26-21. In the final seconds, the Patriots' Hubbell converted two of her 13 total rebounds into lay-ups, the second one coming right at the buzzer for a 30-21 count at the half. McCloskey had a dozen points in the book already, and Baker led the Gators with seven.
The only double-digit gap of the evening appeared on the board when McCloskey scored in transition to start the second half, putting the hosts up 32-21. Like GA's early eight-point advantage, this bulge was quickly diminished by the Gators, who got a driving lay-up and a short jumper from sophomore Nia Holland as part of an 8-0 rally.
Several times when Germantown appeared to making a decisive move in the game, the Patriots opened the door back up for Shipley through turnovers, committing 21 of them during the game, or one every 90 seconds.
Retif remarked "Alexander's so quick she can guard the ball and guard the catch at the same time. She had a real nice game and she threw us off a number of times."
Holland was adept at picking the Pats' pockets, too, and GA also lost possession more than once by failing to consider the height and reach of Fortune on the inside.
Shipley's 8-0 surge in the middle of the third quarter ended when GA's Grasela netted two free throws, which resulted from a third personal foul against the Gators' outside ace, Walsh. After McCloskey romped coast-to-coast for a field goal, Alexander made two foul shots for the visitors to end the quarter at 36-31.
The Gators guard was back at the charity stripe at the start of the fourth frame, hitting one of two shots on a shooting foul called on Grasela, her third personal.
Earlier, there had been some rough and tumble antics involving GA's Hubbell and Shipley's Redcross, who were both lectured by one of the officials. Now, Hubbell scored a transition lay-up off a pass from Cooper and drew more of a garden-variety foul from Redcross. The GA junior completed the traditional three-point play to put her ballclub up 32-39 with 7:08 on the clock.
Other than that, the Gators had an excellent opportunity to take the lead in the early stage of the fourth quarter, receiving a three-pointer from Walsh and making a total of four trips to the foul line, including the initial one for Alexander. However, with a four-for-eight performance on free throws, Shipley could not quite get over the hump, making it a one-point game, 39-38, with under two minutes to go.
In the last few minutes of the affair, it was GA who failed to capitalize on free throw shooting chances. The Pats were two-for-seven over the final two-and-a-half minutes, and with the missed first shots of one-and-one's taken into account, they netted two of a possible 10 points.
Some of these foul calls came when the Gators missed three-point shots on three consecutive possessions and Germantown rebounded the ball. Using a spin move to free herself for a lay-up, McCloskey made it 41-38 with 1:11 remaining. On a drive down the lane with half-a-minute left, Alexander was called for a charge, and on the next Shipley foul, the team's 10th, McCloskey hit the second of two tosses for a four-point lead.
Shipley missed both a three-point shot from the right baseline and an attempted lay-up off the rebound, but the ball leaked out to Baker on the opposite side of the baseline and she canned a trey, closing it up to 42-41. A second later, with 10.3 ticks to go, McCloskey made the first of two foul shots and missed the second, but she dashed in to grab the rebound of her second attempt and scored a lay-up to put the 45-41 final score up in lights. Shipley's Alexander missed a shot from above the keytop at the buzzer, but still finished with a team-high 12 points. Baker scored 10 for the Gators, who received nine from Holland, six from Walsh, and four from Fortune.
McCloskey's game-high 22 points came with a dozen rebounds and two steals, and Hubbell had nine points, 13 boards, two steals, and two assists. After that the scoring went five-four-three-two for Grasela, senior forward Angela Upright, Gorman, and Cooper.

February 15, 2006
The Wabash Department of Music is hardly the largest or best-known in the nation, but the College's musicians are discovering advantages here they'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.
Just ask freshmen Kyle Prifogle and David Herr about their master class with internationally acclaimed piano virtuoso and recording artist Andreas Klein.
Herr and Prifogle were two of four Wabash student pianists critiqued and taught by Klein (at right, with Prifogle and Herr) during his February 5th visit to perform as part of the College's Visiting Artists Series.
Benefits from his session with the virtuoso were immediately apparent for Herr. Only five days after watching the Klein interpret the works of Mozart, Schubert, and Beethoven in the College's Salter Hall, Herr sat at the same Steinway piano on the same stage performing his own interpretation of a Schubert Impromptu.
"I applied what I'd learned from him tonight," Herr (at left) said following his performance at the student music recital on February 10th. He found Klein's critique honest, rigorous, and surprisingly helpful for a one-session class.
"I was honored to have him listen to my playing; and I believe he really listened," Herr says. "He was able to feel what I was feeling while I played, what I wanted the piece to sound like and how I imagined it. To have such understanding after hearing me play only once was incredible; to have your playing so understood was inspiring."
Prifogle, who has been playing piano since the first grade and considered more prominent music schools before applying to Wabash, welcomed the challenge of the master class.
"I think it was very helpful, and I think he accomplished a lot with me," Prifogle says. He admits it was a tough critique.
"He didn't care about hurting my feelings, but who cares if your feelings were hurt, as long as the person wants to help you," Prifogle says. "Sometimes I need that type of motivation to keep productive."
Prifogle (below, right) was plenty productive at the February 10th recital, wowing the audience with his performance of Chopin's Barcarole.
"Klein was openly rigorous with his critiques of our students, but in a subtle way," says Wabash music professor Peter Hulen. "A visiting artist can be incisive and even blunt in a way that a regular teacher—who has to maintain a working relationship with the student—cannot. So the visiting artist may put across a message that the regular teacher has been trying to communicate for some time, but in a newly effective way."
If the sessions required students to have a thick skin, they seem to have emerged the better for it, personally and musically. Their performances at the February 10 were inspired, suggesting even finer work to come during their next three years at Wabash.
"Our students are fortunate to have opportunities like the master class, because such opportunities are more rare at prominent music schools and conservatories," Hulen says. "Because of our size and our instructor-to-student ratio, we are able to offer such benefits to all students who are serious about their artistry on the same scale as offered to only the select few at larger institutions."

Krapland is very picky in that it wants the most pliable and least self-assertive teachers possible, so that they will meekly implement the syllabus and have no problems with their 'profit-first' system of education. The problem is that it's very hard to find such low-caliber teachers, so the HR do their best to talk the place up, which attracts a lot of reasonable but gullible types of teachers. However, after a year or so of being lied to and exploited on Planet Kraplan, the half-decent teachers leave, realisng that the whole thing is just an elaborate ploy to defraud teachers and students alike. And so the charade continues ... like a never ending wheel!

I've spoken to many people who have had dealings with kaplan and their uae venture and the general consensus is of dishonesty rather than benign incompetence. Allegedly, they have to over recruit because they have no idea a. of student numbers b. which of their approved recruits will get clearance from UAE authorities. So, in one of the direst economic downturns of lving memory thye are apparently leading applicants to believe they have jobs when that is not the case, hoping to have plenty of teachers on their reserve list so they can keep up to their recruitment targets and get whatever bonus their contract states. They have certainly not been transparent with any of the people I know whove interviewed. Still if you absilutely can't get any other job it might be worth applying if you are willing to wait - and possibly end up with no job at the end of it.

(CNN) -- In 2008, the future looked bright for Breno.
A sought-after Brazilian soccer star, the teenager was leaving his homeland and heading to Germany to sign for one of Europe's most famous teams, Bayern Munich.
But four years later the defender's career, and his life, had unraveled. In July 2012 he was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison for burning down his Munich villa while reportedly battling depression.
"The time in prison has been very hard for me," confessed Breno at a news conference on Monday.
Read: Bayern maintain 100% record
Now aged 23, the former Sao Paulo star has been offered a shot at redemption.
Having served 13 months of his sentence, Breno is being allowed to leave prison on day release and has been given the chance to rejoin Bayern as part of the coaching staff at the club's youth academy.
"I'm a little nervous," added Breno. "But I'm in good shape now. I'm delighted, and I'd like to thank the prison authorities and Bayern for this chance."
Breno will be collected from the correctional facility in Stadelheim at 0830 every morning by Bayern youth director Wolfgang Dremmler and returned at 1330.

The length of his day release could be extended to eight hours in a couple of months, according to Bayern's website.
"I think it's excellent that the prison authorities and all the authorities in Munich involved in the case have helped to open up this opportunity," said Bayern president Uli Hoeness.
The opportunity Breno has been given at Bayern, and the fitness work he has been doing in prison, could see the former Brazil under-23 player given an unexpected chance to resurrect his career.
Former club Sao Paulo were in Munich for the Audi Cup, a preseason tournament held at Bayern's Allianz Arena, and they opened the door for Breno to return to his former club.
Read: Man City thrash Newcastle to go top
Reports in December 2012 went as far as to suggest Sao Paulo had already offered Breno a contract, despite his incarceration.
A playing career back in Brazil might be the only option for Breno, with Hoeness claiming he will face deportation from Germany on his release from prison.
Breno hasn't played a professional match since coming on as a substitute in Bayern's 5-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen on April 17, 2011, but he will be allowed to work on his fitness in conjunction with his coaching duties.
"It means I can train again and maybe play again later on -- that's my dream," said Breno, while Hoeness confirmed, "at the Audi Cup, the people from Sao Paulo confirmed their strong interest in that."
Hoeness assured Breno he will receive Bayern's full backing, despite no long being under contract at the club.
"FC Bayern will do everything it can to help," said Hoeness.
"We've been informed by the prison authorities that he has behaved impeccably and has been an exemplary prisoner. His behavior here will be just as flawless."

2009 Referee Week in Review - Week 23
The usssoccer.com Referee Week in Review is designed to address the issues facing referees at all levels by using video highlights from professional games as well as the U.S. National Teams. Written by U.S. Soccer Director of Referee Development Paul Tamberino and U.S. Soccer Manager of Assessment and Training Brian Hall, the Referee Week in Review will highlight specific areas of focus and current U.S. Soccer initiatives designed to improve performance and aid in the development of officials across the country.
Week In Review
Week 23 – ending August 23, 2009
In the nine games played lasted week, six ended in a tie or a single goal was the difference. These results speak to the competitiveness of the matches. Every shot and attacking opportunity plays a critical role in potentially determining the winner. For this reason, assistant referees (ARs) in particular, must be ready for situations leading to attacks on goal. Concentration and focus is vital to correct interpretation of the offside law. ARs must be prepared for counter-attacks involving long balls serviced from distance, as well as quick touches where there may be multiple bodies in tight spaces moving in different directions.
Week 23 saw multiple decisions by ARs deny fair opportunities to score. These decisions included goals disallowed for erroneous offside decisions and over involvement by an AR as a result of calling an unnecessary foul that took away an early goal.
Finally, this "Week In Review†will explore the feinting during the taking of a penalty kick. A few weeks ago, a feinting situation occurred in a CONCACAF Champions League match involving D.C. United during the taking of a penalty kick. The situation raised many questions. As a consequence, U.S. Soccer asked FIFA for an interpretation and, based upon FIFAs input, has issued a position paper entitled, "Deception at the Taking of a Penalty Kick.â€
Deception / Feinting at the Taking of a Penalty Kick: Law 14
"Week In Review 18†briefly touched on the tactic of feinting during the taking of a penalty kick. At the time, a video clip of fair deception, or feinting, was provided. This week, an additional clip will be examined that further illustrates a fair form of feinting.
"Feinting to take a penalty kick to confuse opponents is permitted as part of football. However, if, in the opinion of the referee, the feinting is considered an act of unsporting behavior, the player must be cautioned.â€
When feinting occurs, referees must evaluate the line between acceptable "feinting†and unacceptable "unsporting behavior. This decision is based upon "the opinion of the referee†who must evaluate the specific circumstances of the kicker's actions and the referee's "feel†for the match at that point.
In making this evaluation, referees should consider the following three specific examples of behavior by the penalty taker that U.S. Soccer has deemed not acceptable and, therefore, should be judged as unsporting behavior:
- Running past the ball and then stepping backward to perform the kick.
- Excessively changing directions or taking an excessively long run to the ball (thus causing an unnecessary delay in the restart, in the opinion of the referee).
- Making a hand or arm gesture which obviously distracts or deceives the goalkeeper.
Video Clip 1: D.C. United at Firpo (38:50)
This clip is from a CONCACAF Champions League match involving D.C. United. During the game, a penalty kick is awarded. During the taking of the penalty kick, the kicker (No. 10) feints immediately prior to contacting the ball. This action is acceptable behavior and should not be considered unsporting behavior. Based upon the three examples provided above, the penalty taker's actions fall within the category of acceptable "feigning†(acceptable deception) during the taking of a penalty kick.
Video Clip 2: Los Angeles at New England (82:09)
This clip provides another example of feigning that is acceptable. The player does not violate any of the criteria set forth above. Also note the encroachment that occurs. This is a separate violation of the Law that the referee must decide whether to address. In this clip, the defensive team clearly encroaches (enters the penalty area and within 10 yards of the ball prior to the ball being kicked); however, a goal is scored so no action should be taken on the part of the referee.
Offside: Law 11
Law 11, Offside is a simple law yet it is a law that causes much controversy. The concepts are straight forward but the application of the concepts requires focus and concentration combined with optimum positioning and keen eyesight.
Video Clip 3: Kansas City at San Jose (11:53)
This clip illustrates the need for the AR to have both a clear understanding of the current offside interpretation and a working knowledge of the recommendations by U.S. Soccer in the "Guide to Procedures for Referees, Assistant Referees and Fourth Officials.â€
Here is the offside model:
Offside Position
Active Participation (any of the three below)
- Interfering with play = touching the ball
- Interfering with an opponent = movement or gesture to impede or distract. Blocking the
line of sight of an opponent
- Gaining an advantage from the offside position = playing the ball from a
rebound off a goal post or the crossbar having been in an offside position or
playing a ball that rebounds off an opponent
Offside Infraction (raise flag to indicate offense)
When the player on the team with the black jersey heads the ball from his defensive third of the field, a teammate is behind the opposing second-to-last defender (white jersey) in an offside position. The ball is played (headed) by an opponent backwards (behind his position) toward the opposing attacker in an offside position. Because the ball was played by the defender, the attacker cannot be offside.
Why is the defender's header considered playing the ball? Because the heading defender (white jersey) was under no pressure from an opponent nor was he challenged by or interfered with by the offside positioned attacker or any other player who may have caused him to misplay or deflect the ball.
In evaluating the situation, the question for the AR and the referee is whether or not the defender in the white jersey played the ball or did the ball rebound off him?
Controlled play, misplaying or poor execution of play by a player under no pressure from an opponent are different than the ball rebounding or deflecting. The concept of playing may differ slightly depending upon the age and skill level of the players involved.
In the clip, there is NO offside infraction. Play should be allowed to continue.
The AR must be 100 percent positive the attacker is guilty of an offside infraction prior to raising the flag and signaling the offside infraction to the referee.
If the AR has doubt, U.S. Soccer guidance is for the AR to keep the flag down.
Subsequently, if a goal is scored and the AR still has doubt as to whether or not the attacker received the ball from a rebound off an opponent or a controlled play by the opponent, the AR should stand at attention with the flag held straight down at the side and be prepared to signal the referee in accordance with the pre-game discussion if further information needs to be given to assist in making the correct decision.
Video Clip 4: Seattle at Houston (46:25)
AR awareness, focus and concentration are vital skills for making correct offside decisions. In this clip, the AR demonstrates the need to maintain focus and concentration while mentally processing offside decision points during a sequence of three separate attacking team "touches†of the ball which occur in a short time span.
Notice the time of the match: 46:25. The second half is just over a minute old. The referee team must be ready and alert at all times. It is easy to return to the field after the halftime break relaxed and inattentive. Concentration is mandatory at all times.
The first decision point
The give-and-go through ball played to the attacking team's (blue jersey) forward penetrating behind the defense down the left flank.
The second decision point
When the ball is played back across the top of the goal area to the trailing teammate (No. 6).
The third decision point
Occurs at the moment the trailing attacker (No. 6) touches the ball forward past the on-rushing goalkeeper who is unable to play the ball. The touch by the trailing attacker goes directly toward his teammate who, at the time of this touch, is in an offside position.
The offside position can be confirmed due to the fact that, at the moment No. 6 (trailing attacker) touches the ball past the opposing goalkeeper, his teammate is ahead of the ball with only one defender (the orange jersey player who is running to cover the goalmouth for the keeper) between his position and the goal line. Just before No. 6 can get a second touch on the ball to shoot at goal, his offside positioned teammate plays (touches) the ball into the goal.
As a result of his "touch†of the ball, the offside positioned player interferes with play and should be penalized for an offside infraction. The AR makes a correct decision to disallow the goal for offside.
AR focus and awareness is needed to recognize the goalkeeper moving forward from his goal line position past the attacker as, now, the ARs normal second-to-last defender view is changed. Having the visual and mental acuity to make this change/adjustment is critical to making the correct offside decision.
Handling the Ball: Law 12
Referees are regularly faced with judging contact between the ball and a player's arm/hand. As we have stated in prior "Weeks In Review,†these decisions are never easy due to the speed of the game and the quick judgment the referee must make.
Using the criteria detailed in the 2009 Referee Program Directive "Handling the Ball,†referees are more prepared than ever to correctly decide whether an infringement has occurred when there is contact between the hand/arm and the ball. Multiple prior "Weeks In Review†have also provided video evidence to assist in the training of the match official's eye to correct discern handling decisions.
The following lists the criteria to be used by match officials in judging handling offenses:
Making yourself bigger
This refers to the placement of the arm(s)/hand(s) of the defending player at the time the ball is played by the opponent. Should an arm/hand be in a position that takes away space from the team with the ball and the ball contacts the arm/hand, the referee should interpret this contact as handling.
Is the arm or hand in an "unnatural position?â€
Is the arm or hand in a position that is not normal or natural for a player performing the task at hand.
Did the player "benefit?â€
In considering all the "signs†described above, the referee should also consider the result of the player's (usually a defender) action. Did the defender's action (handling of the ball) deny an opportunity (for example, a pass or shot on goal) that would have otherwise been available to the opponent? Did the offending player gain an unfair tactical advantage from contact with the hand/arm which enabled him to retain possession? In other words: Did the player benefit by putting his hand/arm in an "unnatural position?†The referee needs to be able to quickly calculate the result of the player's action to determine whether an offence has been committed.
After applying the aforementioned criteria, if the referee is still uncertain as to whether handling the ball has occurred, the referee should then incorporate the following two criteria as part of his decision making process:
Reaction Time
The less time a defender has to react, the less likely there has been a handling offense. For example, a ball struck from a close distance, or a very fast moving ball, or a ball coming in from a direction which is outside the defender's view gives little or no time for the defender's reaction to be "deliberate.†The referee must take into consideration whether the defender's reaction is purely instinctive, taken to protect sensitive areas of the body as the face. Distance is a factor in determining "reaction time.†The further the ball, the more reaction time a play may have.
Hand / arm to ball
Referees must be ready to judge whether the player moved his arm to the ball thereby initiating the contact. Additionally, the referee should evaluate whether the player deliberately readjusted his body position to block the ball thus intentionally playing the ball with his hand/arm.
Video Clip 5: New England at Seattle (81:55)
This video clip situation involves a defender (facing his own goal) making a sliding kick of a ball which has been serviced across the penalty area, near the penalty spot. As a result of the sliding kick, the ball deflects off his leg and it is sent toward his own goal with speed. As the defender kicks it, a teammate is only three yards from him and the ball strikes the arm.
Given the criteria above, this is not a handling situation because:
- The arm is in a NATURAL PLAYING POSITION.
- The player did NOT MOVE THE ARM TO THE BALL.
- The player tried to move his arm out of the way as it struck him.
- He did NOT take away the opponent's passing/shooting lane.
Note the excellent position of the referee who has a clear, unobstructed view of the situation.
Video Clip 6: Los Angeles at DC United (84:35)
Contrasted with clip above, this is an example of a player who has "made himself bigger†and whose arm/hand is in an "unnatural position.†As a result, this is a handling offense that should result in the awarding of a penalty kick.
Of note is the fact that the referee does not have a strategic position to best view the handling infringement. With the ball being serviced into the penalty area from the left channel of the field, the referee must be moving with the ball/following the flight of the ball toward the drop zone. The referee is not visible in the clip and has not followed the ball. As a result, he is not positioned with the best view of any challenge, let alone a handling offense, in the penalty area. A position closer to the drop zone would enable the referee to have a clearer, more confident view of the scenario.
Looking Forward – Week 24
There needs to continue to be a re-emphasis on focus and concentration by ARs. ARs should continue to ensure their mind is fully active for the entire 90 minutes of the match. This includes the time just after the kickoff, just before and after halftime as well as the last few minutes of the game. Focus and concentration is the foundation for acuity and decision accuracy.

Apple has released a knowledge base article that says iOS 6's Do Not Disturb scheduling feature, which for some reason decided to take the New Year off, will start working again on January 7. Apple also recommend that, until then, anyone experiencing the issue turn Do Not Disturb on and off manually.
Apple doesn't explain what caused the issue to begin with, or whether or not they'll fix it in the next software update so it doesn't happen again in the future. (Though presumably they will issue a fix, given how often time-based problems have plagued iOS, a little reassurance that Apple takes it seriously would be nice.)
Have you experienced problems with Do Not Disturb staying off, or refusing to turn off, since New Years? If so, is Apple's response enough to mollify you?

Glenn Murray scored late double as Crystal Palace beat Charlton 2-1
Glenn Murray got Crystal Palace's promotion bid back on track with a double to sink south London rivals Charlton 2-1.
Last Updated: 02/02/13 5:59pm
The striker took his tally for the season 25 goals, cancelling out Ricardo Fuller's first half opener for the Addicks.
Palace were top of the npower Championship shortly after Ian Holloway took over in October but a worrying dip in results had seen them slip off the pace.
They put in a shocking first-half display and were deservedly behind at the break, but Murray's brace secured only a second win in 10 matches for the Eagles.
Palace actually made a bright start with Wilfried Zaha, now officially on loan from Manchester United, running from his own half into the penalty area and forcing a last-ditch tackle from Chris Solly.
Fellow winger Yannick Bolasie then teed himself up for an extravagant overhead kick but his effort was saved by Ben Hamer.
But Jamaican frontman Fuller, who began his career at Selhurst Park, latched onto a long ball over the top, charged into the area and drove a low, angled drive through Julian Speroni's legs and into the far corner.
As the break approached Palace did have another sight of Hamer's goal but Alex Marrow's shot was deflected wide.
Holloway sent on his new signing, veteran striker Kevin Phillips, after the interval and Zaha drove an early effort off target.
Charlton had thrown away the lead to lose 2-1 against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend and the jitters struck again when Murray found the equaliser in the 75th minute.
The former Brighton frontman latched onto Dean Moxey's pass and tucked it past Hamer.
And four minutes later Palace grabbed their dramatic winner when Charlton failed to clear Stephen Dobbie's cross.
The ball fell to Jazz Richards, who teed up Murray for another expert finish past Hamer which clinched a vital three points for Holloway and his men.

Readers share 'pitfalls' of AT&T 4G LTE network
It was with great interest that we read the article in the Trimble Banner titled "AT&T Improves 4G LTE Network in Trimble," published July 30, 2015. Coincidentally, we had been interacting with AT&T all week regarding the same issue, and although the improved network may benefit many in Trimble County, we had a different experience and would like to share it, in order that others are made aware of some of the pitfalls of the new network.
My family and I have been members of this community for more than eighteen years. Through those years, we have watched two new schools built as well as a sports complex. Each time, we have asked, "Is this for the betterment of our community?"
I was quite favorably impressed to learn this year's Trimble County High School graduating class was composed of 97 young scholars! Wow! And they had won over $1.3 million in scholarships to continue their education. At the same time I am wondering if these new graduates appreciate that which they have accomplished and enjoyed during their years in Trimble schools.
For those of you following the school lunch petition, judge me however you want, but first know the facts. I'm the guilty parent "who only cares about her kids now," and I'm "the piece of crap screwing a system." Not once have I ever been contacted regarding the situation.
Shame on you!!!!! Trimble County, Kentucky if you allow the school system to keep our young ones from having a good meal just because their parents can't (or, yes in some cases "won't") pay their lunch tabs. To the school board and local politicians I say "shame on you" and to all citizens of Trimble County, I hope you will protect these children from this type of discrimination.

As I perused my anxiously awaited Trimble Banner, my first words upon seeing the picture 'Sewer Repair' were "You have got to be kidding!"
The picture shows Bedford Waste Water Superintendent Jim Hoskins operating a small tractor with a backhoe attachment on an incline. This by itself is not too newsworthy except that the picture shows the R.O.P.S. (Roll Over Protection System) is partially removed and therefore non-functional!

Oh and here's a link to my review of her Dark Moon http://star-crossedromance.blogspot.com/2012/12/review-dark-moon.html
Interview with Maggie Tideswell
No Lynda, I think romance is my thing. I don't think I will ever write outside the romance genre. Having said that, my novels all touch on other elements, for instance in Dark Moon there is murder and suspense, and in Moragh, Holly's Ghost there is a family saga and a ghost. The theme that binds each novel together, is romance. I would like to write a murder mystery, but there will have to be an underlying thread of romance in it. Love makes the world go round.
What's your earliest childhood memory?
An Enormous spider in the mailbox. I was about 3 years old, and it was one of the high points of my day to collect the mail. I could just see into the mailbox. On this day the biggest spider I have ever seen had climed into the mailbox and was sitting on top of the mail. I went hysterical because I couldn't get the mail. My mother came running, thinking something dreadful had happened to me. In the end the maid calmly reached into the mailbox and gently pulled the letters out from under the spider. The next day the spider was gone.
It really was a big spider. Its legs covered the entire bottom of the mailbox. To this day I am not friendly with spiders -0 they have just too many legs.
If you could pick anyone in the world to be the cover model(s) on your latest release, who would it be?
For the Dark Moon cover model, I would choose Tom Cruise to portray Jarred. Tom screams military and as Jarred is a navy man, Tom would be a good fit.
What's the one question you wish people would ask you when you tell them you're a writer? How would you answer it?
I want them to ask me if being a witer isn't a lonely occupation, so that I can answer that I don't have time to be lonely surrounded by my characters for company all the time. I would also like people to ask me where I get the stories from, so that I can answer it is like watching movies in my head, that the stories really tell themselves.
Do you have a favorite character out of all the ones you've written? If so, who is it and why is s/he your favorite?
All my characters are special, but if I have to pick one as a favorite it would have to be Trevor. He is such a creep. I love writing bad boys.
What themes do you like to write?
My most favorite theme is that nothing is as it seems, that there are things that are hidden. People aren't what they pretend to be and situations aren't as one perceive them.
What is the ONE novel you think everyone should read? And why.
I don't think there is one novel that would appeal to every single person on the planet. People are too diverse and their interests too varied. I think that is something that all authors must understand. At best one can hope to reach some people who will enjoy and appreciate one's work.
What draws you to write paranormal?
Because it is para- normal, one can make anything happen. I particularly like to include witchcraft into my stories because it has been so erouneously portrayed in the media and books and films. I deal with it in the more serious light it deserves without my novels becoming textbooks on the craft.
How do you spend a typical writing day?
A writer has to write every day. I write first thing, before I even glance at my emails. If I don't the day is gone before I get to it and then more often than not, my mood has changed and I don't want to write. So my typical day looks like this - I work on which ever novel I am currently writing for as long as it takes. I know when it is time to stop, but I have been known to work 18 hours solid, but those are special days. It's normally about 5 hours of writing. Then I will get to emails and facebook and other promotional sites and by then it is time to cook dinner for my husband. I don't like to work at night.

Here you can find interesting news and a lot of things worth knowing about hiring and letting of living space and especially "temporary accommodation".
Investment in German
Capital investment in property combines security and earnings potential like no other financial investment. And especially with property abroad, it is important to rely on specialist partners with regard to marketing – like the HomeCompany!
Why invest in German property?
Capital investment in property combines security and earnings potential like no other financial investment!
Compared to cities in other European countries, property prices and rents in Germany are currently at a very interesting level. While prices up to 10,000 EUR/m² are not uncommon in Paris, London or Moscow, property in German cities is often available at less than 1,000 EUR/m². Word has spread about the fact that property prices and rents are still comparatively low in Germany.
A growing number of international investors have identified the development potential in large German cities and it is no longer a secret that Germany, together with its business cities, has gained importance in recent years as an investment location.
Many undervalued residential properties and rents with increase potential ensure the perspective for safe and sustainable investment. And investment in property also provides protection against inflation. Tax benefits exist for investments in listed property.
Why "Temporary Accommodation"?
The ideal Marketing Strategy!
HomeCompany has been Germany's leading specialist agent for temporary furnished accommodation for more than 25 years – and therefore also for residential property which can be i.a. profitable as a capital investment. Thousands of property owners rely on us to manage their properties for temporary furnished accommodation.
Our clients include large, reputable companies which specifically accommodate their staff for projects via HomeCompany. Directors, management staff, professors, scientists and many other specialists have been using our services for a long time. This ensures we can optimize occupation of the property in terms of earnings potential and at the same time maintain flexibility. Because: according to German tenancy law, normal unfurnished tenancy can actually restrict your right to access to the property for a long period!
Make sure you remain flexible in terms of usage after acquiring your property, and participate in the development of German residential property and especially in the booming sector of 'Temporary Accommodation'– with the HomeCompany!
Knowledge of local markets + networks important!
Whether it's an apartment block, a condominium, holiday apartment or any other residential investment property:
We know the special features of the various German property markets and will support you before, during and after acquisition of property! We provide professional consultancy and extensive market experience, and can contribute to the success of your investment right from the start.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — The head of the U.S. Olympic Committee has been elected to the IOC, a big boost for the U.S. to regain influence on the Olympic stage.
USOC President Larry Probst made it onto the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday with 71 votes in favor and 20 against.
Probst, chairman of video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc., becomes the fourth U.S. member on the IOC, joining Anita DeFrantz, Jim Easton and Angela Ruggiero.
The president of the Russian Olympic Committee, Alexander Zhukov, also won a place on the IOC but with more negative votes in the secret balloting than Probst. The count was 63-29, with two abstentions.
The voting took place before the IOC election of a president to succeed Jacques Rogge.

I don't normally do these quick signal-boosters, but I couldn't let this one pass.
The charity Abused Men in Scotland have published a report, funded by the Scottish Government and written by Brian Dempsey of Dundee University law school, entitled "Men's experience of domestic abuse in Scotland: What we know and how we can know more."
It's a superb piece of work that really gets a handle on the nuances and complexities of the issues. I'm particularly impressed by the way Dempsey leans without apology upon research and theory from across the ideological spectrum, applying valuable insights from feminist and non-feminist sources alike, while offering informed critique and criticism where required. Similarly, he is happy to jump between disciplines, describing Connell's theories of masculinity one page and Dutton's psychological theories of abusive personalities the next. He even applies intersectional thinking to the diverse experiences and lived identities of men which, I'll confess, made me squee just a little.
Most importantly, it is practice- and policy-focused. Even if you don't fancy reading the whole thing, please note the key recommendations, all of which could apply to the rest of the UK, and most of it elsewhere too.
- Policy responses to, and service provision for, men who experience domestic abuse should be evidence-based. Appropriate methodologies can be developed for both academic and practitioner research.
- The needs of children affected by abuse perpetrated against their fathers or other male carers must be addressed by central and local government and other service providers as a matter of the greatest urgency.
- As a priority, resources should be devoted to capturing and respecting the "lived experience" and the "voice" of men who experience domestic abuse. Attention should be paid to the potentially different experiences, challenges and strengths of a diverse range of men (e.g. older men, BME men).
- Research into, and policy responses to, the experiences of abused men should engage with insights from gender theory to explore how gender inequality and hegemonic masculinity negatively affect abused men. Insights from the work on gay, bisexual and trans men's experience of domestic abuse should be developed.
- The role of the "public story" of domestic abuse in marginalising men who experience abuse should be considered in policy development and research. Anti-domestic abuse campaigns should include reference to, and images of, men. Representation of domestic abuse in newspapers, magazines and television should be inclusive of men's experiences.
- Those working in the legal system (including solicitors, police, procurators and the judiciary) should identify and remove barriers to men seeking to access legal protection, whether civil or criminal.
- Service providers should address their responsibilities under the Equality Duty and/or the charity regulator's equality requirements by following good practice demonstrated by, e.g., Citizen's Advice Scotland and Victim Support Scotland. Where services wish to make themselves available to abused men and their children that should be made clear by way of overt statements and inclusive imagery and case studies.
- Public sector service providers such as the NHS, local authorities and the police must, as a matter of urgency, review their compliance with their legal obligations under the Equality Duty and may draw on Children in Scotland's project "Making the Gender Equality Duty Real for Children, Young People and their Fathers".
- Police Scotland, the NHS and others should build on already existing good practice to seek ways to ensure that abused men are able to disclose their experiences.
- Where some men trivialise the abuse they experience as "just something that happens" that should not be used to justify lack of recognition and support. Awareness raising campaigns should be developed that make clear that domestic abuse in all its forms is not something that will be tolerated or ignored in Scottish society.
- Innovative service provision for both women and men who abuse their male partners should be developed.
Final note, just in case anyone needs reminding… AMIS (like the Mankind Initiative who do similar work elsewhere in the UK) always emphasise that providing services and policies to meet the needs of men should only ever happen in addition to services provided for women, never at the expense of women in need. Something I wholeheartedly endorse.

Sea Ice

What is Sea Ice?
Sea ice is frozen seawater floating on the surface of the ocean. Unlike icebergs, which originate from land-based sources like glaciers and ice sheets, sea ice is formed entirely in the ocean.
Sea ice exists in the Arctic Ocean and the far northern and southern reaches of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Southern Oceans. It forms and melts each year with the seasons under the influence of several factors, including air and water temperature, the amount of sunlight reaching the ocean surface and the age of the ice.[ MORE ]
During the Northern Hemisphere winter, the extent of Arctic sea ice increases and generally reaches its maximum in March. As the days lengthen, sea ice extent gradually shrinks until reaching its minimum sometime in September. First-year ice—ice that has only existed for one winter season—generally melts more easily than older, multi-year ice because it is often thinner.
Warming in the Arctic is causing the annual extent of sea ice to shrink each winter. This is also shrinking the percentage of multi-year ice in the ice pack, which leaves it susceptible to further reductions each summer.[ LESS ]
Why is it important?
Sea ice plays an important role in Earth's climate system. Because it is white, it reflects as much as 90 percent of the sunlight that lands on it. As the extent of sea ice in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres shrinks, it is exposing more of the ocean beneath. Because it is darker than sea ice, the ocean naturally absorbs more of the sunlight that lands on it, warming the water and causing additional melting to occur.
Sea ice is also an important part of the Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems. The bottom and interior of sea ice is riddled with brine-filled channels that serve as a home for bacteria, viruses, unicellular algae, diatoms, ice worms and small crustaceans. As the ice warms in spring and summer, these tiny organisms are released into the surface water, where they become food for a wide range of fish and shrimp, which in turn become food for larger animals.[ MORE ]
In the winter, these sympagic (ice-reliant) organisms continue to survive and to thrive, providing a possible model for scientists interested in understanding how life could exist inside or beneath the frozen surface on some moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
Terrestrial animals, such as penguins in the Antarctic and polar bears in the Arctic, also rely on sea ice to provide a platform on which to hunt and rest.[ LESS ]

It may not seem like a big deal, but when a small ski town without a decently-sized grocery store finally gets a decently-sized grocery store, it's news! The main stay Country Market, in Big Sky, MT, after being closed for the last two weeks for renovations and expansion, will reopen, Monday, December 22, 2008. With the added 2000 sf to the Big Sky commercial building, Big Sky, MT residents and summer and wintertime visitors won't have to drive the 30 miles back to Bozeman for their special foods and wine; the new Country Market has a whole lot more now!
Speaking of food, December 19th was the second annual "Turkey for a Ticket" day at Moonlight Basin Ski Area, Big Sky, Montana: a turkey or 15 nonperishable food items got you a free ski pass for the day as part of the Moonlight Basin ski resort's second annual Gallatin Valley Food Bank drive. The effort yielded over 3.5 tons of food and ~150 turkeys!
giving you the advantage...®
