Pack redeems itself, routs Colorado Mines
CSU-Pueblo takes first step in NCAA Division II playoff championship run
GOLDEN — The first half of the Redemption Tour is complete.
Riding its stingy defense and the legs of Marche Dennard, the Colorado State University-Pueblo football team exacted a measure of revenge with a 37-17 victory over Colorado School of Mines on Saturday at Marv Kay Stadium at Campbell Field.
More importantly, the victory in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs sends the Pack into the second round where it will meet Minnesota State-Mankato, the nation's No. 1 team and top team in the region next Saturday. That's the same team that knocked CSU-Pueblo out of last year's first round, 16-13 in overtime, in Mankato.
CSU-Pueblo improved to 11-1 overall and redeemed its lone loss of the season, a 35-21 defeat to Colorado School of Mines in early September. The ThunderWolves are one of the hottest teams in the country, having now won nine in a row. The Orediggers, who tied with the Pack for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title, ended its season at 10-2.
The defense on Saturday was much of the story, coming up with four turnovers, three of those interceptions and two of those picks for touchdowns.
While the defense was doing its thing, the offense was steady and Dennard was the highlight show with touchdown runs of 44 and 40 yards. He finished with 125 yards on 13 carries.
It all added up to a big playoff win for the Pack, who is attempting to win a second national championship. The first came in 2014.
"We knew we had to bring our A game," CSU-Pueblo coach John Wristen said. "I asked our guys not to flinch. We went through four quarters and took some body blows. After the first quarter, we seemed to pick up some steam as we went through. Our momentum kept on improving. When you have two Pick-6s and our defense was not giving up the big play, that gave us a chance to play really great playoff football."
CSU-Pueblo's national-caliber defense made a huge statement in the first half, really the entire game for that matter. It held the Orediggers to 153 yards, 128 through the air and 25 on the ground. It continued in the second half as Colorado Mines, averaging 49.9 points and 578.2 yards a game, was throttled.
The Orediggers finished well below both, scoring just 17 points and totaling only 322 yards of offense. They ran the ball 37 times for 37 yards and came up with seven sacks. Colorado Mines had given up only 11 sacks all season.
"You can't spot them 14 points," Colorado Mines coach Gregg Brandon said. "That's a great defense. They are a real good defensive football team and we knew that. We got behind and Isaac, aside the interceptions, he's a great player for us. We don't win 10 games without Isaac Harker.
"We want to be like the team down south. We want to win 10 every year and make playoff runs and we think we can do that here."
The Pack defense supplied the game's first touchdown in the first 30 minutes. Darius Williams ran back an Isaac Harker pass 42 yards to the end zone, snapping a 3-3 tie and giving the ThunderWolves a 10-3 lead.
The interception was the first of the year for Williams, who set the school record last season with eight picks. It also was the fifth Pick-6 of his career.
"Coach Leo (Donnell Leometi) always puts us in great position," Williams said. "I made that play a handful of times in practice. He told me to read my keys and communicate with my teammates and trust each other. The ball came. He called it and I had to crib it."
Both teams struggled to move the ball in the first half, each reaching the red zone once. Both times, the team's settled for field goals — a 37-yarder from Colorado Mines' Scott Marshall and a 23-yarder from CSU-Pueblo's Mitchell Carter.
The first half was cleanly played with no turnovers and only two penalties, both coming on Colorado Mines kickoffs that sailed out of bounds.
It had been 791 days since the Orediggers had lost at Marv Kay Stadium as they were 20-2 at home since the stadium opened in 2015.
No longer.
And now, the Pack is headed to Minnesota for the second half of the Redemption Tour.

Trenbolone acetate 400 mg, trenbolone dosage for beginners
Trenbolone acetate 400 mg, trenbolone dosage for beginners - Buy legal anabolic steroids
Trenbolone acetate 400 mg
Trenbolone acetate vs Trenbolone Enanthate would be the same thing as comparing testosterone prop (a short ester) to testosterone enanthate (a longer acting ester)because of the similar structures as a test hormone. So, you'd need to get someone to compare dosages, and that would be more trouble than it's worth. What about testosterone/testosterone prop? Now we arrive at our next logical problem: which testosterone/testosterone prop should we use, trenbolone acetate drugs.com? This is probably the reason I've become interested in testing to the max levels, for a variety of reasons. And this is where the trouble really begins for testosterone prop, for a number of reasons. The problem is, testing testosterone prop at high doses is difficult to do, and the results are not even reliable, trenbolone acetate bodybuilding. So, what can we do about this, low dose tren cycle. Well, there was some work done. Dr, trenbolone pills. Michael L, trenbolone pills. Anderson and his wife had an article published in 1997 entitled Testosterone Prop Is Safe, trenbolone pills. What they discovered is that, while the ester-prop-sulfate ester test is useful, the higher dose testosterone prop is not. And this is where I come in, trenbolone acetate kaufen. First, I've worked as a technician for years, for both labs (both CEP and CPH). I've seen a number of labs, and even some labs that test both testosterone prop and testosterone enanthate. They work pretty well and produce decent results, if not perfect, low dose tren cycle. And, I know that there are people out there who want to take T/E at a maximum level, but can't get it, because it's tested out. So, after reading Dr, trenbolone pills. Anderson's 1997 paper, I was curious to see how the testosterone prop test would fare in his 2000 study, trenbolone pills. First of all, Dr, trenbolone acetate results. Anderson's study was only done on 50 male and 50 female volunteers before he performed the test, trenbolone acetate results. (It's not clear how many patients Dr. Anderson tested as he only ran them once.) To be fair though, if your testosterone level is high, this test will be just fine. To me, though, this is something that needs to be seen by someone experienced and experienced in using T/E, trenbolone acetate 400 mg. And it's not an easy test to make it work right, mg acetate trenbolone 400. It's much better to test it on a smaller set of people, and to make an educated guess. My initial research on this stuff is to take someone with very high testosterone and then measure their T levels. This has made me realize that it's not easy to find a level high enough to have meaningful results. While Dr, trenbolone acetate bodybuilding0. Anderson's paper did mention that he tried to get some levels as high as he could
Trenbolone dosage for beginners
Yet another stacking approach is to go with an elevated trenbolone dosage and combine the same with an anabolic agent like anadroland/or clenbuterol to improve both testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH). It's usually not advisable to use these methods simultaneously. One of the reasons this can often be a problem is because the anabolic steroids present in these medications can also interfere with their uptake into your liver, and that can affect not only testosterone levels, but LH and luteinizing hormone as well, trenbolone 20 weeks. Another option is to take a different androgen like testosterone propionate, to which you have also added an enzyme called cypionate, to increase its uptake by your liver, trenbolone dosage for beginners. Since cypionate has been associated with liver toxicity in both athletes and non-athletes, it can only be used cautiously and only on a dosage you are comfortable with, dosage for trenbolone beginners. The important thing to remember about this approach is, in most instances, that it requires additional testing on your liver enzymes than does your initial testosterone supplementation, but this can also serve to provide you even more feedback on this test, and possibly provide you with better results down the road. The Bottom Line There is nothing inherently wrong with taking anabolic steroids, trenbolone winstrol testosteron cycle. However, not taking anabolic steroids in a smart, calculated manner and combining them with a few other methods for muscle building are best practices. With the added benefits of being able to build muscle and improve performance, I feel that it's best to take these types of supplements to maximize their use for a longer period of time.

Even before the pandemic, employers were turning to text messages to convey time-sensitive updates, reminders, and other workforce-wide communications. The pandemic has accelerated this trend, particularly as many employers have adopted texting to gather health screening information. As some employers have discovered, however, texting employees can run afoul of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which carries hefty statutory penalties.
This half hour webinar will focus on the legal and practical considerations of complying with the TCPA, as well as other considerations related to texting, including wage and hour risks, reimbursement requirements, and data security.

Tiling company Saint-Gobain Weber has been fined £16,000 after a man's finger and thumb were severed as he tried to unblock machinery.
Production supervisor Simon Partridge was in charge of the night-shift at Saint-Gobain Weber Ltd, in Flitwick, Bedfordshire, when he suffered the injuries in November 2007.
A waste extraction system became blocked and Partridge tried to clear the blockage with his left hand and it became entangled in the rotary valve. His finger and thumb were cut off by the machine and could not be saved, despite extensive surgery.
Investigations by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found the machine's safety guards could be removed by members of staff using tools the company had provided.
Saint-Gobain Weber admitted breaching Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. Magistrates fined the company £16,000 with £3,560 in costs.
HSE inspector Graham Tompkins said: "Unfortunately this kind of horrific injury is all too common. This case would not have happened if a suitable system of work had been used, including power isolation arrangements and safety guards that were not so easily bypassed. Employers have a legal obligation to protect the safety of their workers and help prevent serious injuries like this occurring. HSE will not hesitate to prosecute when companies fail in this basic duty."

TWO ORGANISED CRIME "foot soldiers" whose "shambolic" plan to murder a Dublin man was foiled by gardaí have received sentences totalling 24 years at the Special Criminal Court.
The two Dublin men pleaded guilty last month before the three-judge court after armed detectives intercepted their van during an operation targeting organised crime in Dublin in August 2017. The court heard there was a loaded firearm inside the vehicle "ready for use".
Gary Gleeson (34) and Stephen Dunne (39) discussed how they needed to aim for "head shots" or they would not get paid, the court previously heard.
Gleeson was today jailed for 12 years with one year suspended while his co-accused Dunne was sentenced to 12 years in prison, with two years suspended.
Sentencing the men this afternoon, Mr Justice Tony Hunt, presiding at the non-jury court, described the plan to kill Michael Frazer as "shambolic, confused and ill prepared".
The judge said that a transcript of the conversation between the men before they were intercepted was a "disturbing document" which included a "graphic description" of what each man intended to do to Mr Frazer.
He described the defendants plan as "a dangerous and outrageous escapade". The men's drug taking, he said, was clearly audible on the secret recordings of the pair.
'Deadly enterprise'
Gleeson, with an address at Muskerry Road in Ballyfermot, Dublin 10 and Dunne, of Meile an Ri Drive in Lucan, Dublin 20 pleaded guilty in May to possession of a 9mm Luger semi-automatic pistol and 10 rounds of 9mm calibre Sellier and Bellot ammunition with intent to endanger life. The offences were carried out at Naas Road, Crumlin on 7 August 2017.
The two men had previously been charged with conspiracy to murder Dubliner Michael Frazer (39) between 28 July 28 and 7 August last.
Sentencing the two defendants today, Mr Justice Hunt said these were very serious offences which had involved lengthy preparations over a number of weeks. The two men had agreed to carry out the killing and there had been a reference to expecting payment in the transcript.
The men had been recruited to this enterprise as they had become "enmeshed" in drugs, Mr Justice Hunt said, but neither could be described as organisers in this "deadly enterprise".
Early pleas
There were significant personal mitigating factors in each man's case, the court heard, but the main mitigating factors were the men's early guilty pleas.
The judge said Gleeson's mitigation was affected by his violent offending at circuit court level whereas Dunne had a less serious criminal record.
Mr Justice Hunt said activity of this type attracts higher sentences if there are no mitigating factors.
The judge said that if the defendants had contested the trial they could have received sentences of 16 years.
"Mitigation and guilty pleas saved them considerable time in custody," the judge added.
The men's sentences were backdated to 7 August 2017 when they went into custody. Mr Justice Hunt also commended the gardaí for their "excellent work".
Defence counsel Michael O'Higgins SC, for Gleeson, told the court at a sentencing hearing on 13 July that on the bare facts of the case it could be said his client was caught "red-handed" but this would have been time-consuming to prove in a trial.
In mitigation, he emphasised to the court that Gleeson was a "foot soldier" and not the brains of the operation.
The barrister said Gleeson had a very strong family and a letter from his partner was read to the court in which she called him a "loyal and supportive father".
The court heard that Gleeson had a very adverse reaction to his mother's death and began to drink and take cocaine. His partner said that she in no way condones what Gleeson has done but attributed it to his addictions and the death of his mother.
O'Higgins said there had been a lost shipment of drugs worth €80,000 and Gleeson consequently had a "bad time" with those people who wanted their money back. His family became involved in the cross-fire.
A psychological report from a consultant clinical psychologist was also handed into the court in which it was noted that Gleeson had full "suicidal ideation" in the lead up to this event. Counsel said Gleeson was very remorseful and had written a letter of apology to Mr Frazer.
Heroin addiction
Michael Bowman SC, for Dunne, said at the sentence hearing on 13 July that it was manifestly clear his client had struggled with heroin addictions for in excess of 20 years. There have been serious attempts at self-harm and he was an inpatient in psychiatric wards on five or six occasions, he said.
Bowman said Dunne was very cognisant of the intervention by gardaí in this event and he had expressed relief about it. The court heard that Dunne's mother said her son was very insecure emotionally and she believed he had been brain-damaged arising from the quantity of drugs he had taken. He struggled, she said, to understand how gullible and naive an individual he is.
Bowman said while there was one round in the breach, the magazine had been loaded backwards by his client into the firearm so it was incapable of firing.
"When the court comes to apportioning responsibility, one must consider the fact that Mr Dunne has very serious incapacities," he said. Dunne was vulnerable and that vulnerability has been exploited to the maximum, Bowman said.
Speaking outside the Criminal Courts of Justice today, Detective Inspector David Gallagher from the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, said today's convictions are part of the "relentless targeting" of individuals who attempt to target individuals for assassination.
He said An Garda Síochána will continue to invest all the necessary resources to protect communities from those persons who are intent on taking lives with the use of firearms for financial gain. He thanked members of An Garda Síochána involved in this operation and particularly those in the Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.
Evidence from sentence hearing
At last month's sentence hearing on 22 June, Detective Inspector David Gallagher from the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, summarised the facts of the case.
Gallagher told prosecuting counsel Garnet Orange SC that gardaí received confidential information that a criminal gang in Dublin were involved in the active targeting of an unknown individual at the time who was based in the Drimnagh area of Dublin.
"The plan was to attack this unknown person with murderous intent," said Gallagher.
He said an investigation was put in place and surveillance was conducted for a distinctive van with particular wording on it.

The van, a Fiat Doblo, was identified in the Lissadell Avenue area of west Dublin in late July 2017 and the two defendants were seen in it. The van was kept under observation and various notes were made of its movements in late July and August, said Orange.
The witness said the van, which "looked legitimate", was branded with fictitious markings, including phone numbers and an email address. It was registered to a man at a fictitious address in North Dublin.
Gallagher said that as the investigation was progressing, officers became aware that the person targeted was Michael Frazer who is from the Drimnagh area of Dublin.
A decision was made to search his van looking for possible tracking devices on Fraser's van, and a device was found underneath it.
A warrant was then obtained to place an audio surveillance device on the Fiat Doblo van which led to information being gathered. Through the use of this discreet listening device, gardaí became aware that something of significance was intended for the evening of 7 August.
On that evening, the van was followed as it went from Ballyfermot to the Naas road. At 7.45pm members of the Special Detective Unit intercepted the van on the Naas road.
Gallagher said officers found Gleeson and Dunne in the van with a gun sitting between them. The gun was loaded and ready to fire. There was one round in the breach and there were nine further rounds in the magazine.
A can of petrol, lighter and rubber gloves as well as a small amount of cocaine were found after gardaí searched the vehicle.
Gleeson and Dunne were arrested and detained in Crumlin Garda Station, nothing of evidential value emerged during their interviews. During their detention, DNA was taken from both men to use for forensic analysis in the course of the investigation.
The court heard detectives later found a tracking device under Frazer's van and Dunne's DNA was found on a SIM card which had been inserted into this tracker. This tracker was linked to a mobile phone and Dunne was caught on CCTV cameras buying €20 credit for that phone. There was also further DNA evidence linking Dunne to the handle and the trigger of the firearm.
The court heard a conversation between the two men was recorded from when they entered the van on the evening of 7 August at 7.19pm. Gallagher told the court it was clear from the transcript that the intent of the two men was to target and murder Frazer.
He then read the transcript of the conversation to the court in which Gleeson says:
Aim for the head yeah? have to get him in the head. Head shots or we won't get fucking paid.
To which Dunne replies:
Once I get him a bit, I've to walk right up to him you know what I mean, do you get me? I just keep walking closer yeah, as soon we block him I'm going to let a shot off in the van yeah, and then once I get him a bit I'll keep walking towards him yeah, right up to the windscreen and I'll just keep shooting yeah, and around to the side and I keep shooting yeah?"
Gleeson then says: "Riddle him."
Gallagher agreed with Orange that the two men can also be heard in the recording discussing the preparation of the gun by cocking it and preparing for the destruction of the van.
Dunne had 14 previous convictions while Gleeson had 23 previous convictions, nearly all for minor matters.
Gallagher confirmed the two men's target was Frazer and he did not want any involvement with gardaí with regards to this investigation. He said Frazer had a threat to his life and was under the garda threat management system. He was targeted by senior figures in the organised crime group for internal matters and the two men were contracted and paid to carry out the attack, the court heard.
Defence counsel Michael O'Higgins SC for Gleeson said his client was a hired hand and foot soldier and not a senior figure in the organisation. While Michael Bowman SC, for Dunne, said he was not the mastermind but the "essential cog" and was not someone operating at the upper echelons of criminal behaviour. Bowman asked the court to structure a sentence to rehabilitate Dunne into the community with something to offer rather than a capacity to cause havoc.

Following the conclusion of the 2016-17 season, star sophomore forward Tage Thompson decided that he would not be returning to UConn for his junior year. Instead, Thompson signed with the St. Louis Blues – the team that drafted him with the 26th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft – and began playing with their AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves.
Thompson was an essential part of the Huskies' successes in the past two seasons. A native of Orange, Connecticut, Thompson scored 14 goals in his first collegiate season and improved to net 19 goals this year. Along with the stellar goal totals, Thompson also recorded 18 and 13 assists, respectively, in his two years in Storrs.
Also leaving UConn are seniors Rob Nichols and Evan Richardson, as well as graduate transfer Brian Morgan.
Nichols ended his four-year career at UConn with 2,658 saves, good for fourth in program history. Nichols played in 93 games in his career and earned a 31-46-15 record. He owns a 2.66 career goals against average, which is second best all-time in the Huskies' history, and recorded 10 shutouts over his four years.
Nichols is the last of the Huskies that made the transition from the Atlantic Hockey Association to Hockey East. As a sophomore, Nichols started 35 games in UConn's inaugural Hockey East season. Nichols was tasked with quite the challenge in a much tougher conference – he faced 1,146 shots, third most in the country that year – but he made the transition bearable. His leadership in net was a big part of the Huskies' success in their first years of Hockey East play.
After Richardson transferred from Boston College to UConn for his sophomore season, he appeared in 92 games during his three-year career, tallying 14 goals and 27 assists. Richardson had his best season this year, setting career-highs in goals, assists and points with six, 16 and 22, respectively. A highlight-reel spinning goal on Senior Night this year turned out to be Richardson's last in a UConn uniform.
Richardson will certainly be remembered in the UConn hockey program for a 2014 game-winning goal against No. 3 Boston College, his former team, that led the Huskies to an upset victory and their first-ever Hockey East win.
During Morgan's short one-year tenure at UConn, he scored seven goals and recorded seven assists for a total of 14 points. His seven goals were enough to put him in a tie for fourth on the team. A graduate transfer from Maine, Morgan played in all 36 games for the Huskies this season.
Going forward, UConn will look to rising sophomore Adam Huska to replace Nichols in net. Huska burst onto the Hockey East scene in his freshman season, starting 21 games for the Huskies and recording a .926 save percentage in conference play, tied for first in Hockey East.
Ultimately, head coach Mike Cavanaugh will have a tough time replacing Thompson and Richardson's point scoring, but UConn will hope to rely on Maxim Letunov and Spencer Naas, who were second and third on the team in points, respectively.
Although the last two players who ushered UConn hockey into Hockey East, Richardson and Nichols have graduated, they left the program in much better shape than it was when they joined the fold and have put Cavanaugh in a position where he can continue to improve the program.

How to Master Parallel Parking?
For a lot of drivers, even those who have known driving for a long time, parallel parking is one of the things they prevent at all costs due to some reasons like the curb's too high, it's too tight, or the visibility is hazy out of the rear-view mirror. Those are only some of the dilemmas you'll encounter once you try to do parallel parking. If you are still new to driving, you need to know what you should choose the best tips to keep in mind for future purposes. Here at Tulsa driving school we focus on providing informative tips to our drivers out there and provide the best services we can so that our students and visitors will be knowledgeable about this matter to secure their safety while on the road in whatever circumstances it could be. Here are some of them in terms of parallel parking:
You should use signals
Guarantee that you are utilizing turn signals as you get ready to parallel park. Once a driver after you is not aware of what you're supposed to do, they could probably begin to honk their horn. Using your signal lights can at least let them know that they need to be a bit patient or move near you the moment you get ready to back in. To prevent confrontations, ensure that you signal before you pass the place that you would like to back in your car.
Line your vehicle up
The help you back into a parking place, lining up with the car directly fronting where you would like to part can do magic. Doing this enables you to know the best angles to enter and to get sufficiently near to the curb you are approaching with no surrounding obstructions or hitting the curb.
Practice the best angle in parallel parking
A lot of drivers commit the fault of immediately going at an angle as you try parallel parking. First, you have to guarantee that your car is straight and aligned with the car in your front before turning at an angle of 45°. If you push through at an angle, you will wind up too near to the curb and run the danger of banging a parking meter or the curb as you back into the area. Rather, you have to start your vehicle going straight back, and then start turning an angle of 45° as soon as the front of your vehicle\ reaches the car's bumper in front of you. From there, you should straighten the car and rotate the wheel in a direction opposite to it.
If you want more beginner's tips about preventive maintenance for your vehicles, check out Oklahoma driving school. They will be willing to provide you all the tips and hacks that you need to know as a driver so that you can ensure the safety of you, your vehicle, and your passengers.

Why Choose Natural Deodorants
One of the most unhealthy and toxic cosmetic products in the market today is the one that you use almost daily- deodorant. Although this particular product helps you maintain the cleanliness of your armpit so that it will not spread off a natural awful smell, this particular product actually poses potential health threats, especially when it is not used properly. This is entirely the reason why if you have an option not to use it, then you have to stop using them. However, this particular product is a necessity. So what could you do in order to avoid the toxic materials that this product has without necessarily compromising your armpit?
The answer is fairly simple- choose a natural alternative. There are a lot of products of nature that do not necessarily have the same chemicals used in the production of deodorants, but has the same effect. Natural deodorants that are aluminum free are actually a viable option from chemically-induced products and thus, if you know the concoction, then you could probably try it. So what are the different benefits of using natural deodorants? Here are some:
- They Don't Contain Aluminum
One of the most frequent compounds found in most deodorants sold in the market today is aluminum. The very reason behind this is that aluminum could necessarily clog up your pores and thus, stopping the skin in your armpit to produce excessive sweat. However, this compound could necessarily clog up not only sweat in your skin but also the very bacteria that causes body odor. Thus, using an organic deodorant could necessarily lessen your sweat but do not have the same mechanism as to that of the deodorant with aluminum. Hence, it is actually the better choice.
- Natural Ingredients
Since natural deodorants are mostly organic, the materials used in creating this particular alternative are all natural. Thus, it provides you with utmost body odor protection without necessarily using chemicals that could be the cause of various health threats. When natural products are used in creating a deodorant, it has the same effect as to that of the commercially sold ones but it does not pose the same threat that these brands could possibly affect users.
- Better Skin
Because the materials used in order to create natural deodorant is based on nature, it does not only serve as an efficient antiperspirant but it could also provide your skin with utmost protection. In fact, the materials used in the creation of an organic deodorant could promote great skin, especially because it uses natural materials.
When it comes to caring the body, you have to have what's best in the market today. However, some of these products contain chemicals which could necessarily pose serious health threats. Thus, if you have an alternative to these kinds of product, you have to opt to these options in order to save your health from these hazards. Remember, you want to be hygienic but it should not come with a price of your health. Therefore, the next time you want to purchase a commercial deodorant brand, think again and choose the natural product.

About the Program
The Aggression Research Program, directed by L. Rowell Huesmann and Eric F. Dubow studies the etiology and prevention of aggressive and antisocial behavior. The group's focus is on understanding the development of aggressive and antisocial behavior from a cognitive, information-processing perspective. The program emphasizes the integration of laboratory experiments, longitudinal survey studies, and randomized clinical field trials to advance our knowledge of aggression. However, the program also serves as the locus for connecting a variety of other research efforts addressing related issues such as peer-relations, the effects of arousal and emotions on social judgment, and the effects of the mass media on behavior. Research projects in the program are or have been supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Child Health and Development, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, the program is associated with the NSF supported Center for the Analysis of Pathways from Childhood to Adulthood.

Missed chances against Butler will haunt Gators
NEW ORLEANS — Alex Tyus was steaming.
He gave short, clipped answers to questions. Before he appeared at the podium, it was announced he wasn't going to be there. He stared into the distance with a clenched jaw.
"Our players really weren't looking for us," Tyus said.
He was referring to the end-game drama. Both times. In regulation, Erving Walker missed a 3 that would have sent Florida to the Final Four. In overtime, Walker and Kenny Boynton both missed late 3s that doomed the Gators.
Florida had dominated inside offensively. Why didn't they do it with the game on the line?
"I would have liked to see Kenny drive the ball," said Billy Donovan. "But he has made some shots that put us in this position."
So has Walker. But on Saturday, he was 1-of-10 and didn't make a shot in regulation. It was just that kind of game.
All but one journey will eventually end with a loss in the NCAA Tournament. Florida's ended Saturday.
What makes it hurt more for the players, coaches and fans is that it ended so atypically.
This Gator team was nails from beyond the arc. Against Butler, a team which decided to jump ball screens and take away the perimeter, UF shot 21 percent.
This Gator team was tough on the boards, especially on the defensive end. Against Butler, it allowed 16 offensive rebounds and 18 second-chance points.
This Gator team has always done the little things, played with great basketball IQ and retrieved more than its share of loose balls. Against Butler, it did not.
This Gator team could rely on SEC player of the year Chandler Parsons. Against Butler, he didn't score in the last 35 minutes of the game and had only two assists.
"I wish we had played more to our character," Donovan said. "You get in these close games, and it's all so fragile."
So fragile. Because this Gator team could get no breaks Saturday. The free throw miss that was tipped in with Tyus' help, the banked 3-pointer, the free throw that looked like it missed but went high in the air and swished through the net, the officials taking over the game with phantom calls after Florida built an 11-point lead, the blocked 3-point attempts that floated into the hands of the Bulldogs.
Nothing went right. And still they were right there with one shot to go to Houston.
But "Big Shot Erv" clanged it.
"It hurts to end it this way," said Vernon Macklin, who had a monster game with 25 points but had to miss crunch time because of his foul shooting. "It has been a great run. I love my teammates and I love this coaching staff. I've loved every day coming to practice.
"It's disappointing because we came up short."
They will toss and turn tonight wondering what would have happened if they had tried something different at the end of regulation. Gator fans probably will have the same issue.
But this is a team that has won a lot of games with big shots from Walker. Sometimes the ball just doesn't go in.
"I don't try to coach anybody else's team," said Butler coach Brad Stevens. "He's going to be a Hall of Famer whenever he decides to retire. I understand what they were doing. You don't want to give us the ball at all.
"He got a pretty good look for a pretty good player. I know this — I was scared when the shot went up."
One day they will reflect on this special season. This wasn't that day. It was a day to feel pain as they listened to the Butler fans celebrate out on the court as the nets were cut down. It was a day to feel angry, whether it was at the circumstances or the result.
But there will be that day. They will think about the 29 wins instead of the eight losses. They will remember the trophy they won, not the chance they had to win another. They will think about bringing Florida basketball back to national relevancy.
Each year, you play for three championships. The first is the SEC regular season. They won it. Easily. The second is the SEC Tournament. They played for the title. The third is the national championship. They were close.
"They'll get over it," said Donovan. "But it will take some time."
It was a great run. It's a shame it had to end. Maybe they were atypical because the run has been so emotional. March has been incredibly exciting and emotionally draining.
And that's what I'll remember about this team.

It's a complicated time for most industries, including commercial real estate.
Local commercial firms are working through issues that include landlord-tenant relationships, working remotely, sales that were in the works before efforts to slow the novel coronavirus and more.
Mark Johnson (pictured below), executive vice president/sales manager of Coldwell Banker Commercial Sun Coast Partners, talked about what his Wilmington-based firm is doing during the pandemic.
GWBJ: How is your firm coping with the local effects?
Johnson: "We're considered to be 'essential' so have remained fully operational but with most of staff and brokers working remotely, doing virtual tours, etc. Demand is down right now, so it makes this a little easier. We're still seeing leases getting signed, sales getting to the closing table, but it's at a lower level.
"We're taking time to touch base with our clients to see how they're doing personally, and counsel them on options/alternatives we're aware of. For now, transactions are less of a focus as we provide guidance in the hopes our clients can weather this storm."
GWBJ: Have you been working with commercial landlords and tenants on the issue and if so, how?
Johnson: "Yes. We have a property management division that of course supports landlords. But in many cases, one of our brokers placed one or more of that landlord's tenants in the building. So we're trying to help from both sides. Depending on the business, some tenants are in severe distress, but in most cases, landlords are working with them to abate rent for a time. There are many creative ways to make this work for both parties as it turns out."
GWBJ: What is your office situation like now?
Johnson: "As mentioned earlier, we're mostly working remotely. We have set times of day when staff will go to the office, set out keys, sort the mail, process checks etc and we allow other brokers to visit the office to pick up keys or checks while maintaining physical distancing. We're closed to the general public, but are available to them remotely.
"This whole process of hosting Zoom meetings while people are working from home gives us a glimpse into people's lives we might not have been aware of. Some hilarious situations have arisen, and people's pets/children often steal the show. I'll miss that part - it makes us all remember we're human beings with lives outside of work.
"In fact, we've had members of our CBC family lose loved ones or deal with this illness within their families. Others are living with high anxiety because their spouse or parent has significant underlying health issues that would indicate a very poor outcome if they contract this disease. This is real, and it's here."
GWBJ: How are brokers staying in touch with clients?
Johnson: "In a variety of ways. We try to communicate with our clients they way they prefer. I.e. some prefer phone calls, others texts, etc. And again, right now we're most interested in making sure people are doing OK, and offering advice where we can to make this insanity a little easier."
GWBJ: Are people buying commercial real estate now? Why or why not?
Johnson: "Sales have been quite good as there's still a lot of money in the market chasing yield. One of the methods of helping an owner/operator survive this crisis is doing a sale/leaseback where they can stay in their building, but get a cash infusion that's desperately needed.
"Sometimes it's even in their best interest to rent from a tax perspective. That said, transactions in the shopping center/retail world have ground to a halt. Medical office is still the gold standard, and other market segments such as residential land for development seem to still be chugging along."
GWBJ: Are they leasing space?
Johnson: "Leasing seems to be slowing -- but those deals are rarely dying (so far). They're just moving out a month or two. Obviously this all depends on reopening the economy and how that rolls out. Most restaurateurs are dormant as would be expected, but there are bright spots. We've completed some office, a bakery and some industrial leases.
"Tenants in some cases are comfortable signing a lease because they plan to do some renovation work -- they're betting that by the time the work is completed, we'll be back to normal."
GWBJ: What's an example of a recent deal?
Johnson: "An industrial investment sale for $9.2 million. Industrial may end up being a bright spot as we collectively shift even further toward online sales, needing more distribution facilities.
"On the flip side, manufacturing/assembly may be looking at a bumpy road as supply chains are being disrupted and a lower level of demand could negatively impact them.
"Again, everything hinges on how and to what level we reopen the economy, keeping in mind it would be very easy to open up too early and see an absolutely catastrophic resurgence of the virus before we have effective and widely available therapies and/or a vaccine."

Come July, all eyes will be on Milwaukee, as the city hosts the Democratic National Convention.
On top of all of that, there are also a number of important local races on the ballot — Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is up for reelection, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele's post needs to be filled, Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner's seat is up for grabs, there's a state Supreme Court race ... the list goes on and on.
There's a ton of information to absorb and keep up on. So, WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are teaming up this election season to answer YOUR questions.
When it comes to the 2020 elections, the Democratic National Convention and voting in general, what do you want to know about?
Submit your question below, and we will report.
Between the Journal Sentinel and WUWM, we will do our best to answer your questions — on the radio, in the paper and online — so that you can stay informed this election season.

Glad it worked out okay. =)
Actually, there is a bug and I don't know why it's in here. It looks like this :
You certainly don't know why it's there, this is why it's a bug. When there is a bug, you need to trace it, to what it's caused by. You can do the tracing using debugger, or by adding a debug code in your program. The latter is what i mostly do, because debugger is like too separated from the code, but debug code isn't. Debugging is a kind of misleading word, most of it is not about removing bugs, but tracing them.
Yeah, I do not know how to use a debugger. I tried to find a tutorial that was good enough but unfortunately did not succeed. I know how to set breakpoints and watch through them, but I don't know how to fix some problems. Thanks debugger I fixed the problem that map was showing in only 1 color. I don't know how to use it to debug this, though.
Yes setting breakpoints is what you mostly do with the debugger, the other thing is finding out where it crashes or another exception happens. You can add functions to breakpoints and everything, but the code and all there is a kind of too separated from your code. I used to put debug code between #ifdef DEBUG and #endif. Now when i define DEBUG, the debug code becomes active. And this can include all kind of code, printing, conditional statements, and even functions that analyze all your data. Debugging is a kind of advanced, and when you finally find the bug, this is mostly some simple mistake, taking only a minute to fix. But this advanced debugging is a necessary work and often most of the work, as when the code is complex, finding simple mistakes is a time consuming task.
I agree with actsl. You really need to start debugging your code and find the cause of the bug(s) you're having in your code. I found your latest bug (where the map wasn't even rendered) by debugging your code, used breakpoints, checked values of variables and so on.
You need to follow the code flow from the start of your code through the mainloop and check for something that doesn't make sense and fix it. The reason why your map is rendered in the same color, and sometimes rendered by only head sprites, is probably caused by some error in your rendering function(s) and/or the generation of the level, where you're setting the texture coordinates and so on.
You also mentioned that you had some problem swithing from gamestate into titlescreen state so there might also be some error in your state machine, which you should also check.
There's a problem with map render when I change currentScreen from GameplayScreen to TitleScreen. If currentScreen is equal to GameplayScreen everything loads correctly. The bug starts when I change currentScreen to title(my menu) and choose New Game. Then currentScreen sets to GameplayScreen, the player loads correctly, but the map is going crazy. I went through the whole tile class, layer class, map class, player class, GameplayScreen class, ScreenManager class and Texture class by doing breakpoints. Should I change my hobby?
i recommended debug code instead of using debugger, also because it remains always a part of your code, which you always can use.
What "debug code instead of using debugger" means?
Write debug code permanently in your code. Between #ifdef DEBUG and #endif everywhere it appears. Then do #define DEBUG , and it becomes active. Like there are some things that you want to see all the time, printing out of what happens. If you use debugger, this will be once, it will be lost, and next time you start all over again. But in that way you always get some good picture of what happens without any additional effort.
Ok. How does it help me with this problem? What should I look for?
I have not even looked at your code, but from what i read. Make it to print out all data about the map, you can make it to do that only in certain conditions, you can add a flag that it does it only once, all is possible. When you run it from terminal, it can print to terminal (usually printed to the standard error stream).
The questions you're asking are extremely novice and have nothing to do with
SDL. I suggest reading up a little more on programming and especially
Ok, so first, what make me say your code isn't working? The map doesn't render as I wish.
Second, what did I expect my code to do and why? To render the map, because I'd like to have a ground.
Third, What did me code do instead? It renders good when currentScreen = GameplayScreen, if currentScreen = TitleSreen the map loads crazy. So I should change the Draw method. What should I write there? I don't know. Why? Because when I set breakpoint there, it says everything loads good.
So you maybe don't check all the conditions at your breakpoint, at which your map doesn't load good. When you say your map doesn't load in certain conditions, then you should see what happens during loading the map in these conditions, and what is wrong then in loading the map. This is called tracing, up to the initial cause of why things go wrong.
If you meant that I should compare the code which work vs which doesn't work, I thought about it before. I compered Draw and Update methods of GameplayScreen class, layer, class and map class. They are exactly the same.
No, you should see what happens when the code doesn't work, and what goes wrong. What happens you can see by seeing the values of the variables, or printing them out.
Ok. Everything going ok when in ScreenManager currentScreen = GameplayScreen. I compered all values when currentScreen is equal GameplayScreen and when currentScreen is equal TitleScreen(menu) and the values are exactly the same. So why the first option works if the values are the same? Maybe I do not understand what you are talking about.
All i wanted to say, it looks like to me that you need a more advanced debugging, like you need conditional statements in the debug code. You can do that with debugger, but this is an advanced use of debugger. So i recommended to use debug code instead, for which you don't have to know more than you already know. The additional benefit is that the debug code will be a part of your code, that you can switch on and off with conditional inclusion directives.
You seem to ask a wrong question, nothing can work differently when everything is the same. It is about finding out what is different in certain conditions, so you need conditional statements in the debug code, to see the values of the variables when certain conditions are true. Also don't make assumptions about what is wrong, this is a waste of your time, instead find out what really happens.
Debugging can be very interesting, you can use the power of the computer against its own power, to find out what is wrong. It can be done very creatively. But it is just a very different task from what you maybe have been taught that programming is about. You may have been taught that programming is writing a code, which also all people seem to think who know really nothing about programming. Now you may find that often most of the programming is tracing. It is like, no one wonders that one who does electronics, most of the time does measurements with oscilloscope or other measuring equipment. Programmer does debugging, both have the same aim, finding out what really happens.
Ok. I just fixed it. The problem was that I used Texture class and LoadFromFile method instead do the same in SetContent in Tile class, I mean, I just copied and pased almost everything from Texture class to Tile and that works. Thanks y'all for eveyrthing. I'll try to find tuts or articles about debugging. Thanks by now for everything
