Looking Back: Plainview's Bug Men sought to exterminate The Beatles
Published 3:32 am, Saturday, February 15, 2014
The 1964 "British Invasion" spearheaded by the mop-topped Liverpool quartet who had their American television debut on the "Ed Sullivan Show" 50 years ago, wasn't necessarily met with the universal adoration being depicted by the various retrospective programs and features being broadcast and distributed of late.
Much to the contrary, many of the then-popular American music groups and songwriters took umbrage with the foreign sights and sounds of John, Paul, George, Ringo and other British musicians who followed.
Among the first American singer/songwriters to fire the initial shots across the bow of the British interlopers were Plainview's own Keith McCormack, Juanita Jordan and son Ken Jordan. And it didn't take long, with their satirical attack presented on network TV two days after The Beatles' first appearance on the "Ed Sullivan Show." And it took all of five days from The Beatles' initial appearance for the "Bug Men" to get their musical attack released on Dot records.
The quick local response to The Beatles was chronicled in the Feb. 13, 1964, edition of the Herald by staff writer David Bryant, noting that the locals' song, "Beatles, You Bug Me," was being released nationally Feb. 14, 1964.
Some of the lyrics include, "Do you come from Liverwurst? / And do you have that murky sound?" followed by "We've got to get rid of the Beatles swarm / They hit over here like a great big storm."
The chorus has the lines, "Beatles, you bug me / It just ain't fair / Beatles, you bug me / You're everywhere!"
Sung by the Bug Men, the song had its quick premiere on the "Gary Moore Show" — after its songwriters were up all night crafting the song after Ed Sullivan hosted The Beatles on Sunday night.
Bryant in his story explains, "Juanita Jordan and her son Ken Jordan and Keith McCormack, all of Plainview, wrote the song and Keith sings it with background by Juanita and Keith's brother Terry. The flip side of the record is 'Bloomin' Bird.' The three songsters call themselves the 'Bug Men.' The song, from writing to Dot's release, will be only five days in producing."
Thanks to the popularity of "Sugar Shack," a song written by McCormack and aunt Faye Voss which climbed to No. 1 on national record charts, the local songwriters had met with growing popularity.
Written by Keith, Juanita and his mother, Glynn Thames, "Daisy Petal Pickin' " was a Top 20 record that was rising in the charts when the British group stormed the American shores. Another song, "Carbon Copy," written by Keith and Juanita Jordan and released on the Coral label, had just then reached a local rating in the Top 10.
And that's not all. Bryant penned that on Feb. 12, the song "Story of My Life, written and sung by Juanita Jordan, had been released in New York on the Laurie record label.
Other Plainview singers releasing records during that period, and soon to be overshadowed by the Brits, were Barney King on 20th Century Fox and Scottie Jackson with the Cooga Music Company in California.
"Juanita and Keith wrote two of the new songs, 'Far From the Laughing Crowd' and 'Tinker Toy Town' and Mrs. Thames, Keith, Juanita and Terry McCormack wrote the third one, 'King of the Mountain,' " for Jackson, according to Bryant's article.
Plainview's String-A-Longs, which included Keith, also had a new record out at the time, "My Babe," was quickly climbing on the charts after only three weeks.
But those records, and more would soon be swept aside by the onrush from the British Islands.

Honored Enemy: Legends of the Riftwar, Book 1 (Mass Market Paperbound)
In the frozen northlands of the embattled realm of Midkemia, fate can form strange alliances.
It is nine long, bloody years into the ongoing Riftwar that is tearing Midkemia asunder. Having survived a disastrous encounter with their sworn enemy, the Tsurani, Dennis Hartraft's cold, hungry, and exhausted Marauders arrive at a frontier garrison--at the same time as a Tsurani patrol. But a more devastating threat resides within the stronghold: moredhel, a migrating horde of dark elves so deadly and vicious that the only hope for survival is if bitter enemies band together and fight as one.
Now two hostile groups must make their way to freedom, facing a common foe, braving the merciless elements, and haunted by the voice of conscience demanding, "what is more important, a man's life . . . or his honor?"
Praise For…
"[A] compelling and profoundly moving tale… an invaluable addition to a beloved canon."

"Having key players around, players who have been decisive, especially in this last part of the season, is always inspirational for everyone," manager Andre Villas-Boas said on Friday. "It is good to have him back."
It was feared that Bale's season might be over when he injured ankle ligaments against Basel a fortnight ago. "It was a big scare for everybody," Villas-Boas said.
A final decision on his fitness will be taken at Saturday's training session, but the club's medical staff have given him the all-clear.
Bale's recovery, along with that of Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon, means Tottenham Hotspur can approach their crucial game against champions Manchester City at close to full strength.
Besides what he offers on the pitch - his goal tally for the season stands at 27 in all competitions - Villas-Boas said the return of Spurs' talisman might well strike a psychological blow against City, forcing them to alter their strategy.
"We recognise the impact this player has had for us this season," Villas-Boas said. "It can have that factor. Our squad is full of good players too, but whether it can have that effect or not depends on how they react."
With the battle for fourth place and Champions League qualification as nerve-shreddingly tight as ever, Villas-Boas took the pressure off his team by claiming that all sides would drop points during the run-in.
"We have probably the second worst calendar. Arsenal probably have the easiest. But still, everything depends on us because of this game in hand we have against Chelsea.
"Most of the teams won't be able to get all of the points available, so it depends on who you drop them against."
Villas-Boas maintained that 12 more points - taking Tottenham to 70 - would be sufficient to finish in the top four. No team in the history of the 20-team Premier League has ever reached that total and failed to do so.

Securities arbitration lawyers are encouraging investors who suffered significant losses in KBS REIT I to act quickly if they believe they have a securities arbitration claim. According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, "If too much time has elapsed between a broker's conduct and your complaint to FINRA, the investigation may be hindered." The initial public offering for KBS REIT I closed on May 31, 2008, so this May will mark five years since many investors were unsuitably recommended the KBS REIT I.
With a new estimated value of $5.16 per share, the per share price has dropped drastically since its original offering price of $10 per share. However, investment fraud lawyers say that if investors need to liquidate for cash, they may receive even less for their shares. Because investors must resort to selling on a private secondary market, some investors may receive only 80 percent or less of the investment's already-reduced estimated value.
According to securities arbitration lawyers, in many cases investors received unsuitable recommendations of KBS REIT I. Many were led to believe that the investment was a safe investment that would produce regular, dependable distributions while the investment's value remained constant or increased. In addition, many were not made aware of the illiquidity of the investment that resulted from the fact that it was a non-exchange-traded investment.
Brokers and firms have a responsibility to their clients to perform adequate due diligence and make recommendations only when the investment is suitable for their client, given that person's age, investment objectives and risk tolerance. As a non-traded REIT, KBS REIT I may have carried a high commission which may have motivated brokers with full-service brokerage firms to make the recommendation to investors despite the investment's unsuitability. The commission on a non-traded REIT is often as high as 15 percent.
If you suffered significant losses as a result of your investment with KBS REIT I, don't wait to explore your options for recovery. To find out more about your legal rights and options, contact an investment fraud lawyer at The Law Office of Christopher J. Gray at (866) 966-9598 for a no-cost, confidential consultation.

Unfortunately, it's worse than this. A last-minute ABI change in sarge (backporting some glibc 2.3.4 symbols to 2.3.2) has the effect that any package whose autogenerated shlibdeps includes libc6, when built on sarge, isn't installable on hoary. Any package that doesn't use the affected APIs can be hacked to work around this (by lowering the versioned dependency on libc6), but it's quite an inconvenience. In general, it's not trivial to set up a build environment that reliably produces binary packages that are installable on both sarge and hoary. (I happen to have such an environment at work, based on a part-careful-part-lucky snapshot of sid, but it's not something I would care to support for more than a few packages.) It would be awfully nice if Debian and Ubuntu could coordinate on a 90% solution; I don't necessarily expect to be able easily to build python packages that will run on both (given Ubuntu's early move to 2.4) but how about basic C, C++, and perl ABI compatibility? (Yes, I know this is what the LSB is for, but Debian and Ubuntu are so closely related that the 90% solution probably isn't that hard. An apt repository containing a few packages with lowest-common-denominator ABIs, plus a debootstrap script for use with pbuilder, would probably do it.) Cheers, - Michael

Expanding waistlines may increase breast cancer risk
A study co-authored by an Indian-origin professor has found a link between expanding waistlines and breast cancer risk for women between 20s and post-menopausal age.
London: A study co-authored by an Indian-origin professor has found a link between expanding waistlines and breast cancer risk for women between 20s and post-menopausal age.
Going up one skirt size every 10 years was associated with a 33 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer after the menopause, the findings of the Britain-based study showed.
Going up two skirt sizes in the same period was associated with a 77 percent greater risk.
The researchers estimated that the five year absolute risk of post-menopausal breast cancer rises from 1 in 61 to 1 in 51 with each increase in skirt size every 10 years.
"Although the exact mechanism of these relationships need to be better understood, there is a suggestion that body fat around the waist is more metabolically active than adipose tissue elsewhere," said Usha Menon from University College London in Britain.
"Extra fat is known to boost levels of the female hormone oestrogen, on which many breast cancer cells rely for fuel," the study authors added.
The findings were based on almost 93,000 women taking part in the UK Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS) in England.
The women were all aged over 50, had gone through menopause and did not have breast cancer when they entered the study between 2005 and 2010.
During the monitoring period, 1090 women developed breast cancer.
As expected, infertility treatment and family history of breast/ovarian cancer were significantly associated with a heightened risk of being diagnosed with the disease.
Increases in skirt size, however, emerged as the strongest predictor of breast cancer risk.
The study appeared in the journal BMJ Open.

The University of St Andrews, currently celebrating its 600th anniversary, is the oldest university in Scotland and the third oldest in the United Kingdom, right behind Oxford and Cambridge. The city of St Andrews has been dubbed "The Home of Golf," with evidence suggesting that the game has been played here since around 1400 AD. St Andrews' Old Course, one of the oldest golf courses in the world, is just a few steps away from the West Sands Beach, where the opening scene from the movie Chariots of Fire was filmed. Across the town from the Old Course and just around the corner from a couple of pubs, a grocery store, and a used book shop stand the ruins of a castle and cathedral overlooking the rocky coastline, both structures dating from the 12th century and destroyed during the Protestant Reformation.
That's nice, but what does it have to do with the LMU library?
In April 2012, the University of St Andrews advertised that they were seeking a Rare Book Cataloguer for a 1-year temporary appointment to cover another staff member's maternity leave. Drawn by the prospect of living alongside so much history, not to mention working with a rare book collection that had been accumulating since before the invention of printing, I sent in my application, interviewed via Skype, and was offered the job. In June 2012, I took a leave of absence from my job as LMU's Special Collections Librarian to try to tackle a 600-year-old cataloging backlog.
As it happened, my arrival coincided with the launch of a project called "Lighting the Past," a push to eliminate that backlog within the next 10 years. After six centuries of book collecting, the university's rare book collection numbers over 210,000 volumes, and boasts two copies of the first edition of Isaac Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (often just called the "Principia"), more than a hundred incunabula (books printed within the first 50 years after the invention of of the printing press), and other notable first editions or inscribed copies of significant books. Of those 210,000 of rare books, however, only around 74,000 (approximately 35%) are currently searchable in the online catalog. My job for the next year would be to prepare detailed descriptions of the rare books, making note of not only the bibliographic information like author, title, publisher, and date of publication, but any clues about the books' ownership history before they came to the university, evidence of how they were manufactured, and significant published bibliographies that may have mentioned them.
My first four months were spent cataloguing geography books from the Copyright Deposit Collection, books given to the university in exchange for copyright protection during the 18th and 19th centuries. Then, in November, the university received a donation from the widow of a local book collector, Brontë scholar, and former Special Collections librarian named Geoffrey D. Hargreaves. The Hargreaves Collection contains a mixture of books on printing history in general, early editions of novels by the Brontë sisters and their contemporaries like Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, and secondary sources on the literature and publishing industry of the 19th century. The timing of the donation coincided with the completion of the Copyright Collection project, so it became the new focus of my work. These days, when I'm not up to my eyeballs in Brontë novels, I'm upgrading the existing, but sparse, records for books in the Golf Collection. Once those are done, I may switch to a collection of 18th century and older texts on alchemy, or an extensive collection of Bibles.
Outside of the office, I've also had the opportunity to learn a little bit about the university's many traditions. The easiest one to spot is the tradition of undergraduate students wearing their bright red academic robes on St Andrews day, during meetings, chapel services, or when conducting campus tours. First-year students wear their robes close to their necks, second- and third-years wear theirs hanging off one shoulder--whether it's the right or left shoulder depends on whether they are studying arts or sciences--and fourth-year students wear them just barely hanging from their elbows to show that they are about to cast off their undergraduate status. Outside of the entrance to St. Salvator's college, one of the oldest buildings on campus, the initials "PH" are set into the paving stones, marking the place where the Protestant martyr Patrick Hamilton was executed in 1528. Local superstition says that any student who steps on the initials is doomed to fail his or her degree. Luckily, the curse can be lifted either by participating in the May Dip, wherein students stay awake until dawn on May 1st and then collectively run into the North Sea, or by streaking through St. Salvator's quad at noon. On Raisin Monday, the original tradition of first-year students giving their third- and fourth-year "parents" a pound of raisins and sharing a tea party has been exchanged in favor of sharing a bottle (or two) of wine, dressing up in costumes assembled from whatever odds and ends are available, and engaging in a massive shaving cream fight on St. Salvator's quad.
Beyond St Andrews, I've managed to explore some of the rest of the UK, visiting York, Salisbury, and Tintagel over the Christmas holiday in spite of the freezing weather.
While I miss my friends, family, and colleagues back in Los Angeles, I'm having a fantastic time here, and can't wait to see what the coming months will hold!

Gianni wants rid of silly goals
Gianni Zuiverloon wants West Brom to cut out giving away silly goals in a bid to improve their position.
Last Updated: 12/11/08 6:03pm
Gianni Zuiverloon wants West Brom to cut out giving away silly goals in a bid to improve their league position.
Only two other Premier League teams have conceded fewer goals than the promoted club, who currently lie bottom of the table.
The Baggies have taken on the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United lately, but Dutch stopper Zuiverloon feels they have often been their own worst enemy.
West Brom take on the likes of Stoke, Wigan and Sunderland in the coming weeks and Zuiverloon believes it is those games that they need to secure points from.
Cut out mistakes
"We have to prepare like any other game and stop giving away stupid goals," he told the club's official website. "We need to be stronger as a back-four.
"Losing 3-0 at Liverpool was a bit hard on us on Saturday. We played well for the first 20 minutes but after that they got chances and scored twice.
"If you're 2-0 behind at Anfield then you're out of it. We still played okay in the second half but the third goal was very demoralising.
"We played well against Manchester United and Liverpool but they are top teams. We have to make sure we get points from the other sides."

Shiron Satellite Communications – First Live Demonstration of DVB-S2 16APSK Broadband VSAT System
Shiron Satellite Communications, a global supplier of broadband VSAT network systems, demonstrated successfully its InterSKY VSAT platform, utilizing a DVB-S2 16APSK modulation over a live satellite in both Ku and C band.
The demonstration was performed in Rio de Janeiro at a service provider's teleport facility, using a Brazilian commercial satellite. Shiron announced that 32APSK modulation is also supported by its InterSKY VSAT systems."Shiron proved its technology leadership again by being the first to demonstrate live a two-way IP broadband VSAT system transmitting DVB-S2 16APSK modulation, saturating a full transponder on the outbound and receiving 8PSK modulation on the inbound," said Oscar Glottmann, Shiron's VP of Sales and Marketing. Glottmann added, "Shiron is the first vendor of IP broadband VSAT systems to demonstrate such superior capability over a commercial satellite at a service provider's site."
"By utilizing 16APSK modulation and a high forward error correction code rate on our DVB-S2 outbound signal, we achieved a world record in satellite space segment spectral efficiency, transmitting 117 Mbps over a 36 MHz transponder, with over three bps/Hz on the outbound," explained Dr. Shaul Laufer, Shiron's CTO and co-founder. This capability allows InterSKY users to get the highest bandwidth efficiency by transporting more information over less bandwidth. As a result, users benefit from reduced operating costs on expensive satellite bandwidth. Using 8PSK modulation on the inbound, Shiron InterSKY VSAT systems provide the highest spectral efficiency in the market, reaching over two bps/Hz.
This capability is enhanced by Shiron's InterSKY Dynamic ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation) feature, which boosts VSAT efficiency. This feature also enables use of the most efficient MODCOD (modulation and error correction code) for remote VSATs, according to location, antenna size and weather conditions.
In Q1/2008, Shiron will deliver the first InterSKY system including the 16APSK outbound modulation with ACM to a service operator in Colombia, South America.

Watching Verlander is like a slice of heaven
"You have no idea," Tigers catcher Alex Avilla said one day last spring. "It's amazing how good he is when he's just out in the bullpen working on stuff."
That's the kind of thing you hear from virtually everyone with the Tigers, from Verlander's teammates and coaches, from his manager and from the front-office executives who marvel at his gifts, work ethic and determination.
Every once in awhile, a guy comes along who seems to be playing in a different league. That's how it is with Verlander these days.
When scouts evaluate amateur players, they look for the kids who do one thing better than everyone else. That one thing could be a blazing fastball or a knee-buckling curveball. It could be the ability to change speeds or command the strike zone.
But the point is they're looking for one really special gift that can be polished and refined. For instance, if a pitcher can come up with one more pitch, if he just has a fastball-slider combination or a fastball-changeup combination, he's good enough to make the Major Leagues.
Verlander is special, because he has a fastball that's among the very best in the game. In the last few innings Friday night, as he attempted to close out his third career no-hitter, he was throwing it consistently between 96-99 mph. He moved it in and out, up and down.
The thing that makes Verlander's 99-mph fastball even better is that he also has one of the best curveballs in the game and a changeup that makes hitters look absolutely silly. There are pitchers who've had very nice careers with just one of those three gifts.
There were moments in those final three innings against the Pirates when the whole thing didn't look like a fair fight. In the eighth inning, Verlander struck out Casey McGehee and Nate McLouth on fastballs that were clocked at 98 and 99 mph.
Here's where it gets good. Clint Barmes watched McLouth swing and miss on a heater, then watched McGehee take one for strike three.
At this point, with Verlander needing just four more outs, with him close enough to touch it and feel it and smell it, Barmes had to know what was coming. He surely was focused on Verlander's power, only to strike out on an 86-mph slider that appeared to be as close to unhittable.
Michael McKenry opened the ninth by grounding a 99-mph fastball weakly to shortstop, and now at Comerica Park, most of the 41,661 fans were standing and screaming for what was about to happen. Verlander had gotten Josh Harrison to fly out on a curveball in the sixth inning.
Verlander stayed with the breaking ball in the ninth, throwing him five in a row, getting two quick strikes, then a foul ball to keep the count at 0-2. He missed with one, and then threw one that stayed a bit high in the strike zone, one that was lined to center and ended the no-hitter.
If you're inclined to second-guess Verlander for not going back to the fastball, or even to a changeup, go right ahead.
That's the other thing it's important to know about Verlander. No pitcher in baseball works harder or is more prepared. No pitcher has a clearer idea of what he's attempting to do with each hitter.
"He has tunnel vision like no one I've ever seen," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I mean, he does everything with a purpose. He has a plan every single day when he walks in the door, and nothing is going to stop him."
Anyway, after Harrison's single went up the middle, Verlander shrugged quickly and leaned back and smiled. Before he could throw the next pitch, the fans who'd been on their feet began to applaud, loudly and warmly.
These are wonderful times to root for the Tigers, because all the pieces appear to be in place. They've stumbled out of the gate, and a lot of people are waiting for them to catch fire and begin a sprint into October.
Along the way, there'll be all kinds of sweet moments, a moment to leave the ballpark feeling that you've just seen something you'll remember for a long, long time.
That's how it was Friday night at Comerica Park. To see Verlander at the top of his game is one of the real special things this game has to offer.
Anyway, after the ovation had ended, Verlander got back on the mound and got two ground balls to end the game. On a night when he flirted with history, he settled for his sixth shutout and the one-hitter.
By the time Verlander was done, he'd reminded all of us why he's special and why we've been so lucky to be able to watch him work.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE)- For many, the thought is unimaginable. How could the person who gave a child life, take it away? After Amber Pasztor confessed to killing her two children, Rene Pasztor and Liliana Hernandez, many want to know what could drive someone to do it.
Dr. Stephen Ross, who's a forensic psychologist, says we traditionally think mothers have a closer relationship with their children. It may surprise you that a mother is more likely to kill her own child than a father is. Ross said it's a rare phenomenon that is difficult to understand.
"I mean you gave birth, you carried that kid for 9 months," said Ross. "What mother would kill their kid?"
It's called filicide or infanticide, the act of killing your own child or infant.
"It's distorted. It's sick. It's psychotic. But in their mind they thought they were doing the right thing," he said.
Ross has worked on hundreds of competency and insanity cases. He said there could be a number of reasons why a parent would kill their child. It's usually a result of a psychotic episode. The parent may feel that the child is a burden, or it could be a revenge killing. He said sometimes a parent may do it to protect the child.
"[They think] I can bring my kids happiness, I can prevent them from being abused," he said. "I can prevent them from further harm so lets send them to heaven."
Oftentimes in cases of filacide the person will try to plead insanity, but Ross said there's a slim chance that will work. He said insanity pleas only prevail about 1 percent of the time.
In 26 years of practice, Ross said he's worked some pretty horrific cases. Still, even he can't make sense of it.
"I can't get it," he said. "Maybe in my next lifetime."

Cooper Foundation Awards Grant to Nonprofit ProgramOct. 23, 1998
The Cooper Foundation has awarded $22,910 to Baylor University's new certificate program in nonprofit management. The program, which is sponsored by the university's division of continuing education, offers management information classes to directors of nonprofit organizations in the Central Texas area. Currently, 48 people from agencies in Bell, Hill and McLennan counties are enrolled in the program.
Participants are required to enroll in three core courses dealing with financial management, leadership principles and program evaluation, and can choose to take a variety of elective classes on topics such as marketing, fund raising, board management and recruiting volunteers. Upon completion of 50 hours of course work, participants will receive a certificate.
"People who work for nonprofit agencies may not have the management skills that they need," said Annette Lindsey, director of continuing education. "Individuals who complete the nonprofit management program will be recognized as obtaining a body of knowledge that has credibility and immediate application in the field."
In addition to the Cooper Foundation grant, the Rapoport Foundation has provided funds for scholarships, and United Way is reimbursing representatives of its funded agencies who are attending the inaugural program.

What does RR mean?
- Relative risk
- In statistics and epidemiology, relative risk is the ratio of the probability of an event occurring in an exposed group to the probability of the event occurring in a comparison, non-exposed group. Relative risk includes two important features: a comparison of risk between two "exposures" puts risks in context, and "exposure" is ensured by having proper denominators for each group representing the exposure Consider an example where the probability of developing lung cancer among smokers was 20% and among non-smokers 1%. This situation is expressed in the 2 × 2 table to the right. Here, a = 20, b = 80, c = 1, and d = 99. Then the relative risk of cancer associated with smoking would be Smokers would be twenty times as likely as non-smokers to develop lung cancer. Another term for the relative risk is the risk ratio because it is the ratio of the risk in the exposed divided by the risk in the unexposed. Relative risk contrasts with the actual or absolute risk, and may be confused with it in the media or elsewhere.

Pros: works perfectly, quiet, mid-range price
Cons: no way to turn buzzer off
Dryer Review
During one of our family's bouts of stomach flu this past January, our dryer died. This was not something we could do without in Minnesota in winter, especially when I needed to do a lot of wash (I don't want to get too graphic here, but let's just say I was thrown up on more than once by a small child). We always buy our appliances at a local store, Quality Appliance, and that is where we asked for a decently priced dryer that would last a long time. They recommended the Maytag MDE2600AYW, which happens to match the washing machine we bought last summer (the Maytag LAV3600AWW). I have been very happy with this purchase.
The MDE2600AYW is a white dryer that loads through a door arranged on the front of the machine (as most dryer do). It features something called the "GentleBreeze drying system," which, according to the product literature I've found on the Internet, "uses a powerful airflow for fast, efficient drying and lower temperatures for gentle clothes care." Other features include a 7/15 cubic foot interior, delicates and permanent press cycles, and commercial-quality parts (I certainly hope so!). According to some of the product information I found online (at http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/MDE2600AYW.html), it also features:
IntelliDry? Dryness Control - automatically dries laundry to the precise moisture level you choose
Moisture sensor - displays dryness level of clothes during the cycle
Extended Tumble cycle option - prevents wrinkling by providing heat-free tumbling after cycle is completed
On/off end-of-cycle signal - alerts you when the clothes are finished drying
Drum light - makes it easy to see inside the dryer when loading or unloading
Quiet Series Plus sound system - insulation, sound-dampening pads and felt barriers combine to provide extra quiet operation
The dryer is about the size of other dryers that I have used. It is 43 1/4 inches tall, 27 inches wide, and 28 1/3 inches deep. It is white, which is the color I prefer in appliances; so far as I know it does not come in any other color. The control panel is white as well, with navy blue, light blue, and grey writing.
Quality Appliance installed the MDE2600AYW for me, a service they offer free with purchase. (They also removed my dead dryer for an additional $25). The gentleman who installed the dryer did it in about half an hour; I imagine that those of use who don't do this regularly would take longer to accomplish the task. He did leave behind the installation instructions, which look clear to me, but also like they would take me a long time to figure out. On the other hand, my husband, who has a natural affinity for getting machines of all kinds to work, would likely have no trouble with these instructions.
There are three controls on the back panel of the dryer; one for temperature selection, one for cycle selection, and one "start" button.
The temperature selection button offers four choices: regular, medium, low, or air fluff. I almost always use "low" for everything, as I've had bad experiences in the past (admittedly with clothing that should have been dried on low) with shrinkage. I just don't have the time or inclination to sort my clothing by drying temperature, so I go for what is safest, and it works very well. According to the dryer manual, regular is for sturdy cottons or items that are labeled "tumble dry," while medium is for permanent press, synthetic fabrics, lightweight cottons, or items that are labeled "tumble dry medium." The only exception I make to the "alwys use low" rule is when I am drying work pants for my husband; in those cases I often use medium to get a "permanent press." (We both hate ironing.) The air fluff tumbles laundry with no heat, which the manual suggests is for sensitive loads or items needing freshening. I might consider using this for hand wash lingerie, but I'm more likely to air dry those items.
The cycle selection control offers three main choices; permanent press auto dry, regular auto dry, and time dry air fluff. In each of these cycles, there are spots labeled "more dry" and "less dry," with a central spot marked off as well; the idea is that you can gauge how long you want your dryer to run based on the size of the load and the type of fabric you are drying. Again, for most loads I choose the regular auto dry cycle, and point the dial at "more dry." Since the dryer is supposed to sense when the clothes are dry, I figure it is fine to let it have the most time possible. I've never been able to determine if the time does vary, but then again most of my loads of clothes are pretty large. I do use the permanent press auto dry cycle for my husband's work pants, again in an effort to prevent the need to get the iron out. This works very well.
The "time dry air fluff" cycle allows you to choose an amount of time to dry your clothing. Times are marked off in minutes, and you can choose 60, 50, 40, 30 (damp dry - if you have items that are partially dry, this is the spot they suggest), 20, or 10 (wrinkle release), all followed by a 5 minute "cool down." I often use the wrinkle release option as I sometimes start my dryer late enough that I don't manage remove the dried laundry before the next day. This works very well for almost all clothing items; the only thing I have wanted to iron after this is a denim dress of my daughters that needs the bottom hem pressed down.
Finally, the "start button" is very simple; after setting the temperature and cycle controls (and tossing in a dryer sheet in most loads), I just press "start." There is no "stop" option, but if I need to add a straying sock or something, opening the dryer door will stop the action of the machine.
When the dryer load is done, it does buzz rather loudly; there is no mechanism for turning this off. I do wish I had the option of turning the buzzer off, as it can be heard upstairs and has disturbed my son as he tries to get to sleep in the room above the laundry room. On the other hand, it isn't so loud that it has ever woken the kids up once they were asleep, and I do like to know when my laundry is done. I just wish I had the option to turn it off at certain times of the day.
The dryer itself runs pretty quietly; I can certainly hear it while in the laundry room, but if I am in another room I have to really strain to hear whether or not it is running.
As with the Maytag washing machine, I can't predict the longevity of this dryer. We have had it for two months and it has been problem free, drying at least one load of clothing per day; I hope that it will remain that way for another 20 years. The salespeople at Quality Appliance recommended this machine specifically for longevity, and I am inclined to trust them. They have a good track record of offering sound advice to our family (we have loved every appliance we've bought from them, a total of 4 or 5), and because they are a local store, if they do not offer solid advice they run the risk of going out of business.
I received a "Maytag Clothes Dryer User's Guide" with my dryer, which includes safety instructions, information on how to use the controls, operating tips, care and cleaning instructions, dryer exhaust tips, a troubleshooting guide, and warranty information. This information is presented in English, French, and Spanish.
This dryer comes with a warranty, as do most appliances. For one full year from date of original purchase, any part which fails "in normal home use" will be repaired or replaced free. After the first year, the warranty is tiered, with parts being repaired or replaced free, but the owner paying for other costs, such as labor, mileage and transportation. The second year includes all parts of the dryer, the third through fifth includes the dryer tumbler. There is an additional limited warranty against rust-through that applies to the exterior cabinet of the dryer, including the door, which includes labor, mileage, transportation and other costs, as well as repair or replacement, for one year from the date of purchase. Then, from the second through the tenth year, the repair or replacement is free with the other costs to be covered by the owner.
I visited the Maytag (www.maytag.com) website to look for information on my dryer model, and as with the washing machine, I was unable to find any. I assume Maytag has discontinued this model, but it is still available both locally at Quality Appliance, as well as at several online websites. If you are looking online, I suggest Googling to find a good rate and a business from which you feel comfortable buying. I would also look around at Sears, as I imagine there are still a lot of these sitting on showroom floors. We paid $522.30 for this dryer, including installation (again, $25 of that was having the old dryer removed). To us this was a reasonable sum to pay for an appliance we expect will last us 20 years.
I really love my Maytag MDE2600AYW dryer. It wasn't too expensive, it is works well, and it runs quietly. My only complaint is that I can't turn the buzzer that indicates when my laundry load is dry off. That is a pretty minor flaw, and I would buy this dryer again in a heartbeat. 5 stars.

Ask an Electronics Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi Stan,
Sorry for the delay in responding the model number threw me, for future reference its 40BV705B
Please see attached diagram showing you the inputs available on your TV here, as you will see the TV does not have a mic input, but it does have two sets of audio inputs (one set located on the side for AV, the other on the rear for DVI\PC), however if wishing to use a mic you will need to use an amp, but otherwise you can use the audio inputs as the same as you would a audio Aux or Line In input.
The mic will also only function when the channel is set to DVI\PC or AV.
Please let me know if you need anything clarified.
Good afternoon,
I havent heard back from you in the last day or so, and just wanted to check if you still require assistance, I would appreciate it if you could rate the service received.
Many thanks

So if the goal is to prolong our interglacial period through altering the earth's atmosphere, we can declare mission accomplished. Under no greenhouse gas reduction scenario advocated by anyone are we going to have an ice age any time soon (tens of thousands of years).
I have seen a ton of conflicting studies on this. I'm not seriously advocating this just trying to illustrate a point. BUT there are also a fair amount of climatologists that think CO2 is a trailing indicator of warming/cooling not a leading factor... so it could all be pissing in the wind on either side.
In a real debate on the science I am in the solar camp.. but I'll freely admit that is a BELIEF because we simply don't have near enough data to come close to an inkling of an understanding.
Another belief of mine is that we won't come close to accurate modeling until we solve one major major issue. Raw computational power. We simply don't have the ability to process the equations without taking shortcuts. In theory, quantum computers can solve this problem and help us take some giant leaps forward.
In the meantime, I have little problem with being "green" and I definitely think we should spend the money on the research BUT I take massive issue with the constant barrage of guesswork being passed off as scientific certainty. This politicization/media influence over science is disgusting. I am also disappointed in those who simply swallow it than spit it back out as they KNOW it without doing one ****ing iota of their own research deeper into the matter. (To be clear, that statement is definitely NOT directed toward cdcox)

The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) and the Department of Transport have launched a new multimedia campaign to educate the public about the importance of obeying road rules in an attempt to improve compliance and reduce crashes in the country.
This as road carnage continues unabated in the country. This weekend Gauteng alone recorded province 11 fatal accidents with at least 13 people being killed.
In January, Transport Minister Dipuo Peters said from December 1 to January 11, there were 1253 crashes, up by 11% since the previous period.
The latest campaign, Don't Ignore the Signs, features Peters in a television commercial making a plea to road users to stop disregarding the rules of the road.
Prominent actors such as Nambitha Mpumlwana, Gabriel Temudzani and soccer players such Mandla Masango are involved.
Advertising and marketing commentator Brendan Seery said of the advert: "This spot on behalf of the ministry and the Road Traffic Management Corporation, is bang-on with its plea to motorists.
"Those signs are, of course, the warning ones – stop signs being the favourite ones we don't see – that alert us to danger ahead or from our lawless or reckless behaviour."
Seery's observation is "the ad works because it shows a minister getting involved in the work of her portfolio in something more than a 'get my picture in the paper' advert type of way".
It is informed by an understanding that almost every road crash is preceded by a violation of road signs and regulations, he said.
An analysis of road crashes show that intentional misbehaviour such as ignoring speed limits, drunk driving, dangerous overtaking and disregarding traffic signs is a major contributor to fatal crashes on the road. Human factors account for 74% of road fatalities in South Africa.
Less intentional forms of human error, such as fatigue, poor judgment especially on sharp bends and wet surfaces also play a critical role in accidents while failure to wear safety belts is one of the most common causes of death in road accidents.
RTMC CEO advocate Makhosini Msibi said: "Road Safety is everyone's responsibility and every South African has a role to play in keeping the roads safe.
"Let us all be responsible in the way we conduct ourselves on and off the road. Do the right thing. Don't ignore the signs."

Trash disposal a people-powered job
It's people power that gets trash to its final resting place at Rapp Road landfill
Published 12:00 am, Thursday, February 3, 2011
ALBANY -- While following city residents' garbage from the curb to the landfill, a primal element comes to the fore. The job is people-powered. Men labor in the pre-dawn darkness -- reaching, bending, grabbing, hoisting and tossing trash into a 12-wheel truck's hungry mechanical maw.
At least two workers handle a resident's trash on pickup day, one for garbage and one for recycling. There is a fork in the waste stream, with recycled materials heading in a different direction from the dump-bound garbage.
Other municipalities and private trash haulers have switched to automated trucks that require only a driver and have a mechanical arm to lift a trash container into one truck and a single-stream recycling can into another. Albany has not made the capital investment in the new equipment. There also are practical impediments, such as a lack of driveways and dense on-street parking. Discussions are under way about single-stream recycling -- tossing recyclables in one container with separation at a recycling center.
For now, weekday pickup involves hand-to-hand combat with bulky plastic bags. On consecutive days with relentless snowfall, like Tuesday and Wednesday, picking up Albany's garbage becomes a marathon that begins soon after midnight. The garbagemen are slowed to a slog and must scramble over chest-high snowbanks.
More Information
To watch a video of Albany's trash collection in action, go to http://www.timesunion.com
"I won't kid you. It's a tough job," said Corey D. Johnson, an Albany sanitation and recycling supervisor who spent eight years riding the back of a truck. "People put out their trash and just assume that it magically disappears."
Johnson has the cut and definition of a weight lifter. "Picking trash is definitely a good workout," he said.
He dispatches a dozen trucks to routes around the city, with a typical ratio of eight for trash and four for recycling. Each trash truck picks up about 13 tons in the summer, up from 10 tons in the winter. But the load has gotten lighter. Five years ago, each truck picked up 18 tons of garbage. Now a recycling truck collects about 3 tons in the summer, a half-ton more than on a winter's day. Two men work opposite sides of the street, while the driver makes several hundred stops on an eight-hour shift.
One Friday morning in January, after 6 inches of snow fell overnight, 48 workers started an hour earlier than normal, at 3 a.m. They picked their way around snowdrifts to grab bags and drag cans, working up a sweat beneath bulky layers.
"Yeah, it's hard work, but at least I've got a job," said Benjamin Morton, 57, who has ridden the back of a truck for nine years.
It can be smelly, disgusting work when a bag bursts. The workers hold their noses and clean it up, muttering expletives.
"Hey, I'm getting a paycheck and the benefits are good," said Willie McDuffie, a 52-year-old who was laid off as a longshoreman at the Port of Albany.
Starting pay is $16.80 per hour for laborers. Drivers earn $1 more per hour.
Garbagemen -- Department of General Services sanitation crews are currently all male, although a couple of women did the job in years past -- glean the local lifestyle secrets. Densely populated 1st, 2nd and 3rd streets that run from Arbor Hill to West Hill are known as the "Heavy Lift" because they generate 17 to 20 tons of trash on a busy day, compared with 7 tons across 20 streets in the more affluent, environmentally conscious Pine Hills.
When the trash trucks finish their routes, they head to the city's Rapp Road landfill off Washington Avenue Extension and drive to the active dumping area, a 3.7-acre site known as a "cell." On the far side, a mountain of trash as high as a 10-story building looms. In two years, these acres will have risen another 100 feet.
Joe Giebelhaus, the landfill's commander-in-chief, hopped out of his truck and kicked up a red-and-white Nike sneaker.
"Shoes and porn," he said. "People ask me what's in the landfill and I always say, 'Shoes and porn.' "
He's only half-joking. Pornographic magazines and discarded X-rated DVDs rise to the surface with remarkable frequency among monochromatic waves of trash dominated by black plastic bags that crash nonstop off trucks belonging to municipal and private haulers tipping their loads.
One of the more unusual items dumped in the landfill was a coffin. It apparently had failed and leaked in a mausoleum. A landfill employee salvaged it from the pile and took it home as a Halloween prank. The boss got wind of this and the casket was returned the next morning, where it was compacted and rendered into splinters in its final resting place.
The dump's daily numbers are staggering: 956 tons of garbage on this day; 500 tons of soil and crushed construction debris are trucked daily to cover the rubbish. Compaction extends the life of the landfill. Rapp Road has two 100,000-pound Caterpillar compactors with steel spikes on metal wheels that literally make the earth shake as they drive back and forth over the pile to pack it down. The machines cost $700,000 apiece. Global Positioning System units signal when the correct amount of compaction has been completed.
Giebelhaus drove a compactor for five years at an Ulster County landfill. "You drive all day, but the scenery never changes," he said.
As a compactor shut down its roaring engine, hundreds of starlings descended to scavenge. A USDA bird expert fired whistling projectiles to disrupt the resident flock of about 3,000 starlings and hundreds of seagulls. Occasionally, a shotgun is used to thin the nuisance birds at allowable federal limits.
Underground, as garbage decomposes it turns to liquid and lets off gas. A network of drains and pipes collects 30,000 gallons per day of leachate that flows to the bottom of the landfill. The newer portion of the dump, in compliance with environmental rules, is protected with two rubber liners and layers of crushed stone and clay. The foul brew is diverted into the sewage system.
In addition, more than 200 methane pipes have been punched 90 feet deep into the mountain of trash, and 29 more pipes are being installed this winter. Each is connected to a pipeline that feeds methane to a flare system that burns off excess gas from a flow of 3,000 cubic feet a minute. For years, the city has tried to sell the methane for conversion into electricity, but the system has consistently underperformed.
Based on current projections, the Rapp Road landfill, opened in 1969, will be maxed out in 2020. For now, trash brings in big money for the city. In 2010, landfill revenue totaled $11.1 million, with slightly more than $4 million profit for the city. The tipping fee of $50 a ton is driven by market forces, balancing the diminishing life expectancy of the landfill and the city's need for cash.
"We want outside garbage, just not too much," said DGS Commissioner Nick D'Antonio.
The big push these days is on recycling. Two years ago, 42.2 percent of the city's trash was diverted through recycling. The goal is 65 percent by 2020.
"That will be the last hurrah," said Giebelhaus, a sharp-witted garbologist with an economics degree from Siena College. He is dreaming of the day he writes his landfill memoir. He's already got a title in mind: "Shoes and Porn."

With all of the hoopla surrounding the iPhone 4 antenna, one of the phone's more compelling features – that being its kickass camera – was consistently overlooked. In fact, the iPhone 4 camera is so well-regarded at Macworld that they decided to shoot and edit the cover of their latest issue entirely with the iPhone 4.
Shooting and editing only on the iPhone had its challenges. Normally Peter shoots Macworld covers with a Phase One P65+ digital camera, which offers 12 times the resolution of the iPhone 4's camera. That meant getting an image as close to the size of the Macworld cover as possible, because any cropping would reduce the resolution of the image even further.
And below is the finished product.

Take the "Make Awards" off your "to do" list and delegate that to your students.
This will build self-esteem on both ends, get students even more excited about Awards Day, not because they're getting an award, but because they've made one and are enthusiastic about presenting it.
They'll also know how much time it took to create something special, and appreciate receiving their award a lot more.
I've included a "Text It!" iPhone writing prompt worksheet,
where students can pick a partner and "text" them a message.
This can
be anything from what they plan to do for the summer, to a complimentary
"bucket-filling" text.
You could also have
children write a message to one of your new students that you'll have in
the fall. They can tell them about a few things they really enjoyed
about this grade.
If your students are graduating from preschool or kindergarten, you can have children "text" a message of congratulations.
There's also a "Tweet It!" bookmark writing prompt
that can be used in the same fashion. I've included samples for both
that you can share with your kiddos to help explain things.
The "Wow!"
speech bubble note (with 3-on-a-page for quick printing) is even more
versatile, as you can also use it as a praise certificate or mini award.
Finally, there's an alphabetical list of 236 positive adjectives students can use to describe the classmate they are writing these notes for. It's a great way to build vocabulary, while improving self-esteem by complimenting their friend.
Click on the link to zip on over to my blog to grab them.
Wishing you a fantastic year-end celebration.

Around the Farm: November 25, 2013
Around the Farm (ATF) takes a quick look at some of the daily performances by Indians prospects. This is a special fall and winter ball version of ATF that recaps all the offseason action by Indians players in offseason winter ball leagues. The positions listed below are where the player was playing in the game.
Puerto Rico Winter League
Carlos Moncrief (Gigantes de Carolina, RF): 1-for-4, R. In Moncrief's case, anything he does in winter ball is gravy. Unfortunately, Moncrief has looked tired as his plate discipline seems to have regressed terribly compared to his regular season strides having posted a 3:18 BB/K ratio so far.
Joseph Colon (Cangrejeros de Santurce, SP): 6 IP, H, 3 BB, 2 K. An all-around good outing for Colon facing a lineup that included Billy Hamilton and Jonathan Singleton as the more well-known staples. Of course, Colon did not show any sort of whiff generating stuff but any start with this many zeros on the scoreboard is a very positive step.
Omir Santos (Gigantes del Cibao, C): 2-for-5, R, 2B, 2 RBI, K. A strong outing for this depth option. Always positive to see success from an organizational depth type.
Editor's notes: Infielder Jose Ramirez left his last game over the weekend with a finger injury and is being re-evaluated. First baseman Jesus Aguilar has not played of late because of a hamstring injury. Also, Carlos Santanais working out at the Indians complex in the Dominican Republic and is expected to see some time at third base.

I'm pretty sure he was
The farm is starting to come around except for developing pitching. They've spent two high picks (Howard and Brown) and still only get a D+ on my grading scale at developing SP (Only Salazar keeps it from being an F). I think spending 3 picks on SP is wasting them. I would be good with 1 SP and could be convinced to go 2 but 3?
I'll take that.
I agree 1000% of them being SP's with at least two picks but from my understanding you will be able to get quality arms throughout the entire draft so I'm excited about this. It appears the Indians farm system is really starting to come around and that's what's going to help sustain them. I am really excited about this teams possibilities in '14 and beyond if they continue to make smart decisions going forward
BTW, I expect the Indians to go long and hard after starting pitching in this draft because they have three first rounders(potentially) and this draft is supposedly loaded with starting pitching,

Something is wrong! were the first words to flit through Tasha's mind as she entered the office that day. She moved stealthily, not making a single sound in the building that was far too quiet. There was no chatter nor typing, and the only sound she could hear was the computer's soft humming. She moved silently, passing through the first room and going into the central office.
The lights flashed on suddenly. Tasha drew her gun, then froze as she found herself staring at a gathering of people with huge grins on their faces and heard their shouts. Her narrowed pupils slowly widened, and she hesitantly sheathed her gun. "That's a good way to get your head blown off," she warned Val, but she was grinning nonetheless. No one had ever grown her a surprise birthday party before!

UNICEF is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential.
UNICEF is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and strives to establish children's rights as enduring ethical principles and international standards of behaviour towards children.
UNICEF insists that the survival, protection and development of children are universal development imperatives that are integral to human progress.
UNICEF mobilizes political will and material resources to help countries, particularly developing countries, ensure a "first call for children" and to build their capacity to form appropriate policies and deliver services for children and their families.
UNICEF is committed to ensuring special protection for the most disadvantaged children - victims of war, disasters, extreme poverty, all forms of violence and exploitation and those with disabilities.
UNICEF responds in emergencies to protect the rights of children. In coordination with United Nations partners and humanitarian agencies, UNICEF makes its unique facilities for rapid response available to its partners to relieve the suffering of children and those who provide their care.
UNICEF is non-partisan and its cooperation is free of discrimination. In everything it does, the most disadvantaged children and the countries in greatest need have priority.
UNICEF aims, through its country programmes, to promote the equal rights of women and girls and to support their full participation in the political, social, and economic development of their communities.UNICEF works with all its partners towards the attainment of the sustainable human development goals adopted by the world community and the realization of the vision of peace and social progress enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.
UNICEF promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything we do. Together with our partners, we work in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere.
In all of its work, UNICEF takes a life-cycle based approach, recognizing the particular importance of early childhood development and adolescence. UNICEF programmes focus on the most disadvantaged children, including those living in fragile contexts, those with disabilities, those who are affected by rapid urbanization and those affected by environmental degradation.
UNICEF was created with a distinct purpose in mind: to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child's path. We advocate for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person's future.
We promote girls' education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum – because it benefits all children, both girls and boys. Girls who are educated grow up to become better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to their own children. We act so that all children are immunized against common childhood diseases, and are well nourished: no child should suffer or die from a preventable illness. We work to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people because it is right to keep them from harm and enable them to protect others. We help children and families affected by HIV/AIDS to live their lives with dignity.
We involve everyone in creating protective environments for children. We are present to relieve suffering during emergencies, and wherever children are threatened, because no child should be exposed to violence, abuse or exploitation.
UNICEF upholds the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We work to assure equality for those who are discriminated against, girls and women in particular. We work for the Millennium Development Goals and for the progress promised in the United Nations Charter. We strive for peace and security. We work to hold everyone accountable to the promises made for children.
We are part of the Global Movement for Children – a broad coalition dedicated to improving the life of every child. Through this movement, and events such as the United Nations Special Session on Children, we encourage young people to speak out and participate in the decisions that affect their lives.
We are active in more than 190 countries and territories through country programmes and National Committees. We are UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund.

The saxophonist is in Texas this weekend for his mother's funeral.
Our thoughts are with saxophonist Gerald Albright as his mother, Mattie Pearl Albright, died March 18 at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler, Texas. Mrs. Albright, who was 88, was married to the late William Dudley Albright, who died in September of 2003.
Albright, whose latest album called New Beginnings will be released on March 28, was scheduled to perform the National Anthem on March 25 for the Colorado Crush Arena Football League team at the Pepsi Center in Denver, but has of course cancelled the performance. He will, however, peform the National Anthem on April 17 before a Denver Nuggets baskeball game. Albright, who lives in Castle Rock, Colorado, is in Texas for his mother�s funeral service scheduled March 25 at Frankston High School in Frankston, Texas.
Albright is asking those who would like to make a donation in Mattie Albright�s name to send them to Top Ladies Of Distinction Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 4459, Tyler, TX 75712.

Both played a key role in Montclair State's 16-14 come-from-behind victory over the College at Brockport as the Red Hawks are 3-0 for the second consecutive season and 17th time overall.
who earns the award for the second time in his career, becomes the
third different Red Hawk to earn NJAC Special Teams Player of the Week
honors after playing a pivotal role in the win. He scored 10 of
Montclair's 16 points by connecting on his only extra point attempt and
three successful field goal attempts of 26, 28, and 37 yards apiece.
His 37-yard field
goal with just 16 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter culminated a game-winning eight-play, 40- yard drive which propelled MSU to its second straight NJAC win. Capozzoli currently ranks third in
the NJAC in field goals made per game with a mark of 1.33.
Hunt earns NJAC Defensive Player of the Week honors for the first time this season and the sixth time in his career after notching a game-high 18 tackles while helping to limit the visiting Golden Eagles to just 2.5 yards per rush in the Red Hawks' victory. With his second double-digit tackle game of the season, he became just the third Montclair State player in school history to eclipse the 300 career tackle plateau. Hunt, who has registered 10 or more tackles in 11 of his last 13 games dating back to last season, currently leads the NJAC in tackles with an average of 12.3 per game.
