|11th Season
|Sacramento, Calif.
|Previous College:
|Sacramento State, '67
Bill Campbell, who spent eight years as Sacramento State's head women's tennis coach (1999-2006), completed his 10th season as the Director of Tennis for both the men's and women's programs in 2016.
During his 10 seasons as director of tennis, Campbell has overseen two of the more successful programs on campus as the Hornet men's and women's teams have combined to win 16 conference championships over that time frame. That includes the women accounting for 39 all-conference selections and seven MVP awards. Not to be outdone, the men's program has accounted for 31 all-conference selections and six MVPs during that same time period. In addition, the women's program won 112 straight matches against Big Sky competition, a streak that lasted nearly 13 years from 2002-2014. The streak was the longest by any team from any sport in Big Sky Conference history, and is believed to be the longest in NCAA Div. I tennis history.
During his eight-year tenure as the women's head coach, he guided the team from the bottom to the top of the Big Sky Conference standings. In Campbell's first year as head coach, Sacramento State posted a record of 1-15 in 1999. Since the 1999 season, however, the Hornets vastly improved to 5-15 in 2000, 11-10 in 2001, 20-4 in 2002, 16-8 in 2003, 23-4 in 2004, 23-5 in 2005 and 14-9 during his final year as head coach.
Campbell, who was named Big Sky Coach of the Year each season from 2002-2005, led the Hornets to five-consecutive Big Sky championships (2002-06). In fact, entering the 2007 season, Sacramento State had won 33 consecutive matches against conference opponents dating back to 2002.
Dealing with the loss of four all-conference players from 2005, Campbell was faced with the challenge of continuing the success of his program with just two upperclassmen and six freshmen in 2006. The rebuilding project proved a success as the Hornets won their fifth Big Sky championship and went 6-0 in league play, dropping just three points during the entire season. Four players, including freshmen Joyce Martinez Gutierrez and Luba Schifris along with junior Cecilia Helland and league MVP Margarita Karnaukhova, were named to the all-conference team.
In 2005, the Hornets closed the season with victories in 23 of their last 25 matches, which included a 12-match winning streak (Feb. 12 – April 1). The Hornets tied program records for most victories (23) and most wins over a ranked opponent (six). That included victories over Washington, Fresno State and New Mexico. Sacramento State finished the season with a national ranking of No. 40 as the team was ranked no lower than 47th during the season.
The 2005 Sacramento State team also set the Big Sky Conference record with eight league player of the week awards. In addition, Hornet players accounted for six all-conference accolades, also a program record.
For the second-consecutive season in 2005, the Hornets had three players nationally ranked. Margarita Karnaukhova, Anna Erikson and Cecilia Helland combined to become one of the best trios in school history.
The 2002 season remains the breakout year for Sacramento State as the team cracked the top 75 for the first time in school history while advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the first time as well. Since the 2002 season, the Hornets have combined for 47 all-conference selections, including 31 first teamers. In addition, a Sacramento State player has been named conference MVP nine straight seasons heading into the 2012 season.
Originally a student at Cal, Campbell turned down a full-ride scholarship to play tennis for the Golden Bears, choosing instead to compete one year for coach Jack Jossi at Sacramento State. The Hornets' No. 1 singles player as a junior, he chose not to compete as a senior while preparing for the CPA exam.
His love for teaching tennis began while he worked his way through school teaching lessons for Fulton-El Camino Park and Recreations. That program, which trained as many as 400 kids at a time, produced four world-ranked players and one NCAA Div. I national champion.
While working on a master's degree at Sacramento State, Campbell wrote a paper on tennis and swim clubs, traveling the state to interview club owners. Upon graduating with an MBA in financial management, Campbell took the lessons from those interviews to heart and opened his first club (Rio Del Oro Racquet Club) in March of 1973.
The owner of Spare Time, Inc., Campbell and his wife, Margie (a previous Sacramento State women's tennis coach who is a former president of the Northern California Tennis Association and a former member of the USTA's national committee for strategic planning), currently operate nine clubs in the greater Sacramento region.
While Campbell has succeeded as a coach, it took a little help from his wife for him even to be considered for the position. A longtime supporter of the program, Bill and his wife were approached by former Hornet men's tennis coach, Chris Evers, as to who they thought would be good for the vacant women's coaching position at Sacramento State in the summer of 1998. Without his knowledge, Margie suggested that Bill would be interested.
A leader in the community, Campbell has remained involved by serving on numerous boards for the University and the city of Sacramento including the Sacramento State Accounting Advisory Board, Athletic Advisory Board, Board of Directors of Slakey Brothers, Business School Advisory Board, Crocker Art Museum, Jesuit High School, Sacramento Country Day School and many more.
He has been named Philanthropist of the Year by the National Society of Fund Raising Executive in 1992, Regional Pride Award for Business Development by Sacramento Magazine in 1991, Alumnus of the Year by the Sacramento State School of Business, Best in Business in 1989 and the 1988 Businessman of the Year by the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.

Well, you could rejuvenate a man like a tree. Cut off bad memories of him, scrape off all pain, all disappointments, like dead tissue; cut off mistakes, stupid decisions, mistakes, x-ray thoughts. And that it could be done after each winter so that the new year could come clean and innocent. We know—one of the following winters will kill us.
In this one life, this one life that you have to live, you must embrace every moment that creeps into your existence. You must feel every possible emotion to realize you're really alive, you're really living. If you build walls and you hide behind them in fear, you're not embracing moments, you're not actually living.

Gardner's new ad mixes up Markey vote
Republican Cory Gardner's latest ad attacks Democrat Betsy Markey for voting for the "most fiscally irresponsible budget in history" but there's a problem. She didn't vote for the budget. She voted against it.
The Markey who voted for the budget is U.S. Rep. Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
Markey's spokesman, Ben Marter, blasted Gardner saying if he "can't figure out how this whole voting system works, how can he be trusted to actually read bills?"
Also from Marter:
"Rep. Gardner's new attack ad is lousy with the same already-debunked lies and misleading claims, but if there were degrees of false, this one takes the cake. I would point Rep. Gardner to a site on the internet to research his claims a little better: www.google.com.
Gardner's spokeswoman, Rachel Boxer, was equally brutal:
"Rep. Markey can try to change the subject all she wants, but the fact remains that she has voted for Nancy Pelosi's job-killing agenda 94 percent of the time, and within her first 50 days in Congress, Rep. Markey recklessly spent a billion dollars an hour, approving $1.2 trillion in new spending."
Gardner, a state lawmaker from Yuma, is trying to unseat Markey, a Fort Collins Democrat who beat incumbent Marilyn Musgrave in 2008.
Also running in the 4th Congressional District is Doug Aden with the American Constitution Party and Ken "Wasko" Wasziewciz, who is unaffiliated.

A Sandwich a Day: Roasted Pork Jibarito at Borinquen Lounge
Reviews of Chicago sandwiches.
Not nearly as ubiquitous as dogs or Italian beef, jibaritos are more the cult classic of Chicago originals. If you haven't formally introduced yourself (or read Nick's article), a jibarito is a Puerto Rican sandwich well worth knowing. And the Borinquen Lounge is a solid place to pick one up.
The roasted pork jibarito ($5.95) features the essential smashed, fried plantains as the vessel to carry the pork and few select accoutrements (lettuce, tomato, mayo) to your belly. Here, the plantains are fried up crunchy without a hint of grease, and then dusted with garlic salt. The distinctly yellow pork is full-bodied, juicy, and tender, and the "everything" toppings are like drinking a V-8. Mayo is a veggie, right?
Also worth mentioning is the accompanying rice with pigeon peas. A brilliant orange color and laden with hunks of spicy sausage, it is practically a meal unto itself. Or dessert, if you prefer.

It's Monkey D Luffy and he is here to make you smile as much as he is right now. Well maybe not as much as him, he will just put a smile on your face just by looking at his. I thought it was a great idea to fill a request on drawing Luffy from the anime/manga series 'One Piece'. I love how his face and expression came out because it almost looks exactly like it does in the manga as well as the anime. One Piece is also an old anime that has been a favorite for manga lovers since the beginning of the series start. From looking at his face you wouldn't think that he is a pirate, but he is. Luffy is also the main protagonist of both the anime and manga. Like most pirates he has a neck for getting into trouble as well which makes him sort of a threat according to the World Government. Anyways, this lesson was lots of fun to create which means I know all you One Piece lovers will enjoy it too. So long folks, but don't stray too far because I still have more drawing fun coming your way.

Plan for Key Staff Transitions
Make sure compensation plans include entire executive team, urges Albraccio.
In years past, credit union compensation plans focused primarily on the CEO. But the status quo is beginning to change, and credit unions must now recognize the need to address proper compensation for their entire executive team.
It's important to build a compensation structure that will maintain the executive team and provide stability during a time of transition, said CUNA Mutual Group's Scott Albraccio, executive benefits sales manager on Monday, during a Discovery breakout session at CUNA's America's Credit Union Conference.
During the next five years, credit unions across the country will be challenged with the task of replacing their existing CEOs. The CUNA 2011-2012 CEO Total Compensation Survey suggests 21% of credit union CEOs will retire during that time.
To prepare, credit unions should develop proper compensation packages for executives and their top lieutenants. Deferred compensation plans for C-level executives can create "golden handcuffs" that will prevent them from leaving if a new CEO joins the team, while providing continuity during the transition period.
Albraccio said without a proper executive benefits package in place, credit unions risk losing potential CEO replacements to other organizations, competing banks, and other credit unions. "Credit union compensation plans can no longer just focus on the CEO," he said. "We also need to look out for our C-level executives, those who are likely to be the future CEOs."
At the same time, existing CEOs face a potential compensation gap when they do decide to retire. The guidelines illustrated by ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) restrict the amount of money highly compensated employees can contribute to their 401(k)s, compared with lower-compensated employees.
On average, retiring executives receive 38% of their current income upon retirement, whereas front-line employees receive 60% to 65% of their income. Albraccio suggests credit unions begin implementing Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERP) to eliminate the large disparity and avoid the potentially troublesome guidelines of ERISA.
SERPs provide many benefits for credit unions and their executives, including the ability to maintain continuity of strategic decision making while addressing financial needs of senior executives, so they can focus on their credit unions' long-term strategic goals and financial success.
Albraccio also advised attendees to have a formal CEO succession plan in place that includes an executive development component along with financial incentives to retain top talent. Only 63% of credit unions have a formal succession plan in place.
Some have a "real" succession plan while others have what he termed a "break in case of emergency" plan, which prepares the credit union for the death or rapid, unexpected departure of the CEO. It's a short-term disaster recovery plan to keep the institution going until a new, permanent CEO is hired.
"The 'break in case of emergency' plan is important, but a true succession plan doesn't just choose internal successors to a credit union's top executive positions. It prepares internal successors, which provides more stability and consistency with the organization's strategic plan."
Albraccio noted that during the next five years 52% of employers in the U.S. will be challenged with filling critical positions. Competition for competent CEOs will be highly competitive, creating a high level of urgency for a useful succession plan.
Although few CEOs are likely to depart between now and 2013, it's crucial that credit unions have a plan in place for such a scenario. SERPs can be a valuable part of a succession plan and will encourage a smooth transition if the CEO departs.
Some examples of SERPs include:
- 457 Supplemental Retirement Plan (b and f)
- 7872 Split Dollar Life Insurance Plan
- Executive Bonus Plan
- Executive Long-Term Care Insurance
- Executive Supplemental Disability
"Begin developing and implementing succession plans and SERPs now before it's too late," urged Albraccio. "It's imperative to recruit, retain, reward, and retire our key employees or we risk losing to our competitors."

Here's an e-book I didn't know existed but I find very amusing. Michael Medved, bad movie reviewer turned bad right wing political pundit, wrote an e-book in August called The Odds Against Obama: Why History and Logic Make the President a Likely Loser. And here's how the book is billed:
Most Americans instinctively assume the President will cruise to reelection in November. This notion has been bolstered by the Obama campaign's relentless efforts to portray the president as unbeatable and to characterize Mitt Romney as a hapless loser.THE ODDS AGAINST OBAMA provides the tools to shatter that impression, and to put the campaign in proper perspective based on the iron rules of history and logic.
Based on columns that appeared originally in The Daily Beast, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and on Townhall.com, with annotated new election tables that highlight the key differences between past presidential winners and losers, these essays show that the patterns of our politics strongly favor conservatives in the crucial election of 2012.
Yep, that's how to shatter an impression using the "iron rules of history and logic."

Okay. I'm just going to go ahead and put this out there because I get a bazillion emails from women (ALL women) who say, "I want to adopt (like yesterday) but my husband is just not on board. What should I do." First of all, I say
It caused all kinds of craziness in my mind. I wondered why my husband was so heartless. I mean, who doesn't want to help an orphan!? As if we didn't already know that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, they also think really differently about family planning, especially adoption. For us, adoption wasn't something we ever discussed. We were cruising along, having some biological kiddos, and then one day I came home and looked my hubby in the eyeballs and said, "It is my purpose in life to adopt a baby. Let's do it." At the time I suppose I expected him to say, "Ok. Let me make the call. Let me fill out the papers. Don't worry- if this is your dream, I'll take care of it." Ummmm... hello? I must have been off my rocker to think that was how the conversation would go. After all, I was struggling to take care of the two children that we had. How in the world had I proved to my husband that I could tackle another kid, much less, handle the adoption process. I hadn't. Y'all, fear lingers in the minds of these men. Logistics are important and looking back on it, I realize that my husband's fears were 100 percent founded. I wasn't really in a good place to adopt at the time that I thought I was. My husband, who knew me best, could see this. But this doesn't mean that it didn't tick me off royally that he was slowing things down. In retrospect, it was the very best thing he could have done, but at the time, I couldn't see it at all.
In talking with TONS of prospective adoptive families, more often than not, it is the woman who initiates the adoption. Adoption is messy. It defies logic. It is a lot to wrap one's head around. The men that I know, need something more concrete. They want to know how the money will be raised, how long it will take (not a span, but an exact date), what life will look like after the adoption, how they can love another person's child, etc, etc, etc. The women I meet are more willing to take a leap of faith and figure it out as they go. Most men can't handle that! They need to have things talked out. They need to plan. They need to see the vision of the whole thing coming together. And many times, it is our job (the woman desperate to adopt) to show him that lovingly- not get mad that he needs that. (Cause y'all- I've done it un-lovingly and it just makes a mess the size of a nuclear explosion.)
Then one day as I was strolling along in this "my husband is heartless and we will never get to adopt" puddle that I'd created, I all of a sudden had a paradigm shift in the way I was thinking about the whole situation. I finally began to see it from his perspective. In our case, I felt like I needed to step up my game to get our adoption moving. I needed to suck up how hard it was having two kids and get a plan. I needed to prove to my husband and to myself that I could take care of the things that were already on my plate (the kids, the house, the bills, the laundry). I needed to nurture and serve the family that I already had until it was firing on all cylinders. And not in that fakey Brady Bunch way. Ladies- I am not saying to be super woman here. I'm just saying that if you can't handle the things on your plate as they are, then it might not be the right time to adopt. Take a minute to figure out how you can get a grip on all the things that you are already doing. I had to get serious about self improvement. I had to figure out how to organize my day to be more functional. I had to figure out how to take care of the children that I already had and learn to be happy about the challenges. Again- not in a fakey way. It's just that I realized that when my husband would get home, I would offload 8 hours worth of kid screaming crap right on his lap. It's a wonder he ever wanted to come home. His brain was saying, "Hell to the no we can't adopt a baby or have a baby or get a goldfish. This woman can't handle it!" And he was right. I had to learn how to take the hardness of motherhood and learn to revel in the joys of it instead of focusing on the things that made me want to put my hands in the garbage disposal.
Let me tell you, this did not happen overnight. It was a process. It took me a long time to stop getting ticked about finding a sitter so I could take one to the doctor and see it instead as an opportunity for some one on one time with each kid. It took me a long time to stop getting mad that someone was always hanging on me and focus on enjoying those snuggles more. (Oh, who am I kidding? I still get ticked off when they hang on for dear life like tree monkeys all day. But I try not to!) It took me a long time to stop throwing 8 hours of garbage on my husband when he walked in the door. I tired so hard to be more smiley. I didn't go all June Cleaver, but more I just tried to think about how I would feel after coming home from work to only hear about the crap from the day instead of the good parts.
In trying to create a better situation, I was actually able to start shifting the way my brain saw my day. When each kid would do something really cute, I would write it down on a little piece of paper so I could remember to tell hubby when he came home. And in doing that, it made me focus more on the happiness that lived in my house instead of the overwhelming-ness. Overall, the whole thing that was designed to make my husband think I had my act together- actually did make me a happier person with more control over my life and my thoughts. Who knew that deception could be so mutually beneficial!?!? (Seriously though- you can think of it as deception but I like to think of it as fake it till you make it self improvement.)
Even though my husband would never admit it, I know that deep down he was probably worried that with another little one pulling at us, he wouldn't get as much attention. Yep. Those husbands need attention, too. I was all too guilty of putting the children to bed, and soaking in the tub all alone until I would turn into a prune and then crawling into bed with a book and getting angry at being interrupted. (edited to say: after reading this, I sound like a HORRIBLE wife- yikes!) And forget, ummmm... you know. 'Cause oh holy night- after all day with people hanging all over me, I didn't need another person touching me!
Again, there has got to be a paradigm shift here people. You've got to nurture that relationship for your own good. The key to healthy, happy kids is a healthy marriage. Duh. But it's true. I find that when my husband and I are on the same page and we are connecting and taking time for our marriage that our kids follow suit and thrive so much better. Last night while I was in bed I was thinking a lot about how my husband and I are like magnets. Sometimes we have this indescribable pull toward each other and there is nothing that can pull it apart. And then there are the times where one of the magnets gets flipped and the magnets repel each other and they do this dance around each other but you can't get them to stick no matter how hard you try to push them together. But you know what? If you shift the way you think about the relationship and focus less on being right and more about nurturing, the magnet flips itself back over and they stick together again. Girls- flip your magnets. See this struggle to get on the same page about an adoption as less of an "I'm right and he's heartless" scenario and see it as a "He's got fears and I need to help him through it" scenario. I wish I would have flipped my magnet a whole lot sooner than I did. Heck. I probably need to flip my magnet a whole lot more than I do!
During the whole adoption process, I've never felt more bonded to my husband. But once Miles came home, I slacked. So I guess you could say that those deep seeded fears my husband probably had about his attention levels were probably right. But now that life is settling down and Miles is doing so much better, I am on a mission to nurture that relationship again. But this all goes back to the fact that we need to show our husbands, not just tell them that the relationship that we have will still be a priority, no matter how many children get added to a home.
And then there are the finances. Oy vey. Thinking about adoption finances can just about make a person's skull come unglued and shoot their brain into orbit. Get a plan. Do your research about grants, loans, fundraising ideas. Write it all down. If money for an adoption is not just laying in your lap (and really? Who has that kind of money laying around?) then be prepared to tell your husband what you are willing to give up to make it happen. Have a real discussion about the options instead of just going on the hope that money will fall from the sky. My husband for one, needed to see where the money was going to come from or what the options were for trying to make that happen. Women- I am one of you. I know how tempting it is to say, "It will come. If we just take this leap, I know the money will come." But every man that I know would like to see a plan. Get one.
So to sum it all up: be understanding, be patient, do not be condescending about how high and mighty you are for wanting to help the orphans and how horrible your husband is because he's not there yet. See it from his perspective. Address his fears through actions and watch how your own life and relationships improve. Because some times, you just have to flip your magnet.

Monsignor Joseph Tash, the founding pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, passed away May 21 after a brief illness. He was 77 years old.
Services for today, May 24, at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church will be as
follows: 7 a.m. Mass for the Dead; 10 a.m. Rosary; 12 p.m. Mass for the Dead; 3 p.m. Chaplet of Divine Mercy; 5 p.m. Mass for the Dead; and 7 p.m. Vigil Liturgy.
Funeral Liturgy for Msgr. Tash will be celebrated at 10 a.m., Friday, May 25, at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, Bishop Patrick J. Zurek, presiding, with priests of the Diocese of Amarillo concelebrating. Interment will be in Llano Cemetery. Arrangements are by Schooler Funeral Home, 4100 S.
A Memorial Mass will also be celebrated at 7 p.m., Friday, May 25, at Our Lady of Lebanon Church in Sydney, Australia.
Joseph Tash was born March 2, 1935 in Barre, Vt., the fourth of five children born to Edward T. and Anna Corey Tash.
"My dad worked in the granite industry as a 'lumper,' someone who puts the glass finish to granite," Monsignor Tash said in a 2002 interview in the Amarillo Globe News. "My mom was a stay-at-home mom, who worked in the granite industry when there were strikes."
After his graduation from Spaulding High School, Tash attended St. Michael's College in Burlington, Vt., for two years and St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Mass., where he received a degree in Philosophy. He also attended Sts. Cyril and
Methodius Seminary in Orchard Lake, Mich., where he did post graduate work in Theology.
At the age of 27, Joseph Tash was ordained to the priesthood on May 25, 1962, at St. Monica's Church in Barre by Bishop Robert F. Joyce. The newly-ordained Father Tash celebrated his first Mass the following day at St. Mary's Church, also in Barre. So how did a priest with ties to Vermont wind up in the Diocese of Amarillo?
"You study for the diocese where you live geographically," Monsignor Tash said in a 2002 interview in the Amarillo Globe News. "I would have stayed in Vermont, except at the time the bishop made a statement that it looked like he was going to have too many priests and he didn't know what to do with them all. At that point in time, I, together with my spiritual director, decided that I should maybe look at missionary areas." The missionary areas were St. Augustine, Fla.; Monterey-Fresno, Calif.; and, Amarillo. Amarillo responded first.
Father Tash served as assistant pastor at St. Mary's Church (now St. Mary's Cathedral), Amarillo, from June 1962 to July 1967.
Responding to a request of Maronite Rite leaders who were in desperate need for priests of Lebanese origin to assist in providing spiritual services for Catholics of the Maronite Rite, Father Tash left the Diocese of Amarillo on Aug. 2, 1967, to serve as assistant pastor of the Church of St. Louis Gonzaga in Utica, NY. The stay in New York was short-lived as Father Tash returned to the Diocese of Amarillo in 1968 and on Aug. 16, was assigned by then-Bishop Lawrence M. DeFalco to St. Anthony's Hospital as a chaplain, Director of Pastoral Care and Director of Mission and Ministry.
In 1980, Father Tash moved into senior management, when he was placed in charge of planning and development. He would also serve as Co-Chairman of the Medical Ethics Committee, serve on the Administrative Council and serve as Director of
Community Relations until his resignation from the hospital on Nov. 17, 1993.
During his stint at St. Anthony's Hospital, Father Tash was also in charge of the St. Anthony's Foundation. His fundraising efforts netted more than $1 million for the hospital. He was also instrumental in fundraising efforts for the establishment of St. Anthony's Hospice.
On Jan. 6, 1980, Father Tash celebrated the first Mass in the Fellowship Hall of St. Stephen's United Methodist Church at 4600 South Western for the Catholic Community known at that time as "St. Joseph's West." On July 3, 1980, St. Thomas the Apostle Church was established and on June 1, 1981, ground was broken for the new church at 4100 South Coulter. The new church was dedicated on May 7, 1982.
In 1986, Father Tash became Monsignor Tash, as he was named a Prelate of Honor with the title of Monsignor by Pope (now Blessed) John Paul II.
Monsignor Tash was also known for his community
service. In the 1970s, he was a member of the ad hoc committee that established Operation Drug Alert for the City of Amarillo. Monsignor Tash also organized Kairos House, a drug rehabilitation center and headed the speaker's bureau for the implementation of Operation Drug Alert. During a three-year period, he traveled throughout the Texas Panhandle to speak at schools and churches on the danger of drugs in our society.
Monsignor Tash also served as chairman of the March of Dimes and also held board memberships in St. Anthony's Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, Catholic Family Service, United Way and Amarillo
Symphony. He served twice as campaign chairman of the United Way in 1993 and 1994. He also served on the Board of the Mended Hearts Association and the Amarillo Kidney Foundation.
In the 1980s, Monsignor Tash was also instrumental in establishing the Ronald McDonald House in Amarillo, along with Dr. Winfred Moore and Ron McVean.
Monsignor Tash also had several hobbies, including bowling, golf and cooking. In 2000, he taught a course on Lebanese Cooking at Amarillo College. He also cooked two luncheons for the Art Force.
Another of his hobbies was one he started in 1978 that he called "therapeutic."
"Needlepoint is something I do instead of watching TV," he said in a Nov. 9, 2003 interview in The West Texas Catholic. "It's something I do usually early in the morning and late at night and when traveling on long flights. Besides, I'd go crazy with nothing to do." The therapeutic hobby resulted in a different Christmas-themed needlepoint that was the grand prize for the St. Thomas Parish Altar Guild fundraiser for many years.
Monsignor Tash was one of three priests from Barre to serve the Diocese of Amarillo - the others: Monsignor
Raymond Crosier and Servants of the Holy Paraclete Father Fern Couture, who passed away Sept. 9, 2003.
Monsignor Tash was preceded in death by his father Edward in 1975 and his mother Anna in 1986.
Survivors include two brothers, Nathan Tash of Pemebroke Pines, Fla., and Francis Tash and his wife Irene Tash of East Montpelier, Vt.; a sister, Barbara Tash Callahan of Manchester, Conn.; four nephews, Michael Callahan, of Killingsworth, Connecticut, and Patrick
Callahan and his wife Joyce Callahan of Westerly, RI; Edward Tash and Francis "Buddy" Tash; three nieces, Emily Callahan, Donna Tash, Susan Tash; numerous loving family members in Australia; and his faithful congregation, whom he considered to be his flock.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Olivia's Angels, in care of BSA
Hospice, P.O. Box 950, Amarillo, TX 79105; or St. Thomas Memorial Fund, 4100 S. Coulter St., Amarillo, TX 79121.

Life On The Iranian Side Of Astara
The mirrored cities of Astara, on Iran's border with Azerbaijan, have been divided since 1828 when the Russian and Persian empires signed a peace treaty to end a two-year war. The Astara River separates the current Iranian and Azerbajani cities. During the Soviet period, relatives on either side could not visit each other, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and Azerbaijan's emergence as a sovereign country, many family ties have been restored. Iran allows Azerbaijani citizens visa-free visits for 15 days. Photographer Famil Mahmudbeyli visited Iranian Astara to get a sense of life in and around the city.

"We Love Freedom" - Bashkir women talk about family values
In recent years, Russian authorities have stressed the need to protect family values. In Bashkortostan, a multinational republic within the Russian Federation, it became even more difficult to have a dialogue about the role of women in a modern world. However, the comparison of traditional and modern values is key to understanding the existing problems. Bashkir women shared their thoughts on today's life in a system still dictated by society and family, where they are expected to retain their traditional roles.

Gerard Schwarz
Conductor • Trumpet
Other conductors
Often appears with
Internationally recognized for his moving performances, innovative programming and extensive catalog of recordings, American conductor Gerard Schwarz serves as Music Director of the All-Star Orchestra, an ensemble of top musicians from America's leading orchestras featured in a new television series airing throughout the United States on public television. As in baseball, Schwarz has created an "all-star" team of top musical athletes for an eight episode series created to encourage a greater understanding and enjoyment of classical music. The series will also be released by Naxos as a DVD. Schwarz is also Music Director of the Eastern Music Festival in North Carolina and Jack Benaroya Conductor Laureate of the Seattle Symphony. The conductor is a renowned interpreter of 19th century German, Austrian and Russian repertoire, in addition to his noted work with contemporary American composers.
With more than 300 world premieres to his credit, Schwarz has always felt strongly about commissioning and performing new music. As Music Director of the Eastern Music Festival, he has developed its focus on contemporary music. A new initiative with the Eastern Music Festival, the Bonnie McElveen Hunter Commissioning Project, will bring ten new world premieres from American composers to the festival over a period of ten years. Richard Danielpour's A Prayer for Our Time was featured in summer of 2013 and John Corigliano's work for violin and orchestra will be performed in 2014. During Schwarz's tenure with the festival, he has expanded audiences to the largest in its history, incorporated a composer in residence program, developed three new concert series and increased the focus on new works with 15 world premieres over the last three seasons. The festival, one of this country's foremost training programs for young musicians, brings together world-renowned artists and exceptionally gifted young musicians from across the United States. Accomplishments during Schwarz's tenure include expanding the festival's audiences to the largest in its history, incorporating a composer in residence program, developing three new concert series and increasing the focus on new works with 15 world premieres over the last three seasons.
A prolific recording artist, Schwarz's total discography numbers nearly 350 on labels such as Naxos, Delos, EMI, Koch, New World, Nonesuch, Reference Recording, RLPO Classics, Columbia/Sony and RCA. His pioneering cycles of American symphonists such as William Schuman, David Diamond and Howard Hanson have received high critical praise, as have his acclaimed series of Stravinsky ballets, symphony cycles of Robert Schumann, Gustav Mahler and Dmitri Shostakovich as well as orchestral works of Richard Wagner, Richard Strauss and Rimsky-Korsakov. More than 50 discs featuring Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony – with works by 54 composers ranging from the Baroque to contemporary periods – were released in the last two years on Naxos, Delos, Artek and Brilliance Audio. Representing the breadth and depth of the conductor's vast repertoire, the recordings vary in genre, including major 20th century ballets by composers Stravinsky, Strauss, Bartók, Ravel and Prokofiev, as well as multi-disc cycles of works by Schumann, Strauss, Wagner and Stravinsky. Schwarz's dedication to the promotion of American music is also represented with recordings featuring the works of 26 American composers. The Hanson cycle, first released on Delos, was a mainstay on Billboard's classical music best-selling list for 41 weeks, including six weeks at number three; earned GRAMMY nominations and was named 1989 Record of the Year by Stereo Review. The new Russian series on Naxos has been acclaimed as "a high point in the extensive Schwarz/Seattle discography" (Classics Today), "very fine" (The Guardian) and "a powerhouse in Russian Romantic repertoire" (Music Web International). In addition to his numerous recordings with the Seattle Symphony, he has also recorded with the Berlin Radio Symphony, Czech Philharmonic, English Chamber Orchestra, Juilliard Orchestra, London Symphony, Los Angeles Chamber Symphony, New York Chamber Symphony, Orchestre National de France, Philadelphia Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Tokyo Philharmonic and Eastern Music Festival.The Maestro's long-standing commitment to education will continue through a series of television projects featuring his All-Star Orchestra planned for national broadcast during the 2013-2014 season. A gifted composer and arranger, Schwarz has expanded his compositional activities in recent years. His Trio for Violin, Horn and Piano was called a work of "sophistication and intelligence" by critic R.M. Campbell. Earlier works include In Memoriam and Rudolf and Jeanette (dedicated to the memory of his grandparents who perished in the Holocaust) – both recorded by Naxos; Human Spirit, a composition for children's choir and orchestra and his duos for violin and cello were called "redolent of the gentle humanism central to much of the music Schwarz loves to conduct" by The Seattle Times. His arrangements of suites from Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier, Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande and Webern's Langsamer Satz are programmed in concerts worldwide. A Journey, a large scale orchestral tone poem, was commissioned by Dave Gannet and received its world premiere at the Eastern Music Festival in July 2012. Schwarz's string sextet received its world premiere during the summer of 2013.
A sought-after guest conductor, Schwarz has led orchestras throughout the world including Academy St. Martin in the Fields, Berlin Radio Symphony, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Hong Kong Philharmonic, London Symphony, Montreal Symphony, Orchestre National de France, Singapore Symphony and the Tokyo Philharmonic. In the United States he has led the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra, National Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra,
Saint Louis Symphony and San Francisco Symphony. He is also known for his operatic performances in addition to his concert work, having appeared with the Juilliard Opera, Kirov Opera, Mostly Mozart Festival, San Francisco Opera, Seattle Opera – where he has led 21 productions – and Washington National Opera conducting the operas of Wagner, Janáček, Strauss, Mozart, Bizet, Weber, Debussy, Bartók, Stravinsky, Beethoven and Gluck.
Born in America to Viennese parents, Schwarz began studying music at age five and soon focused on the trumpet. A graduate of both New York City's High School of Performing Arts and The Juilliard School, he joined the New York Philharmonic in 1972 as co-principal trumpet, a position he held until 1977. Schwarz's numerous previous positions include Music Director of New York's Mostly Mozart Festival, where he presided over sold-out houses, developed the orchestra's international touring, maintained a nine year residency in Japan, considerably expanded its Mozart repertoire and through its televised Live from Lincoln Center appearances earned several Emmy nominations. His tenure as Music Director of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra initiated the long-standing partnership between the orchestra and Classic FM, expanded recordings on the RLPO Live label, initiated a new partnership with Avie records, created the enormously popular Sunday matinee Musically Speaking concert series which remains the orchestra's fastest growing audience to this day, led highly acclaimed tours to Spain and Prague and brought the orchestra to National Television in BBC Proms broadcasts. As Music Director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and New York Chamber Symphony he expanded concert series and audiences, made award-winning recordings and championed new works. In addition he served as Artistic Advisor to the Tokyo Philharmonic.
Gerard Schwarz completed his final season as music director of the Seattle Symphony in 2011 after an acclaimed 26 years. During his leadership, Maestro Schwarz was instrumental in the building of Benaroya Hall, spearheading efforts that resulted in an acoustically superb new home for the Seattle Symphony. The many legacies of his extraordinary leadership include a critically acclaimed discography of more than 140 recordings; numerous television programs and concert broadcasts resulting in two Emmy Awards; major strides in music education programs including new series and the successful Soundbridge Seattle Symphony Music Discovery Center; regular programming of innovative themed festival weeks; in addition to dramatically increased audience attendance and classical subscription weeks. Schwarz's final season in Seattle was emblematic of the conductor's passionate dedication and support for contemporary music, with a total of 22 world premieres, 18 of these premieres being a part of the Gund/Simonyi Farewell Commissions, an unprecedented commissioning initiative celebrating his farewell season as music director.
In his nearly five decades as a respected classical musician and conductor, Schwarz has received hundreds of honors and accolades. Over the years, he has received 14 GRAMMY nominations, 4 Emmy awards, six ASCAP Awards and numerous Stereo Review and Ovation Awards. He holds the Ditson Conductor's Award from Columbia University, was the first American named Conductor of the Year by Musical America and has received numerous honorary doctorates, including from his alma mater, The Juilliard School. In 2002 the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers honored Schwarz with its Concert Music Award and in 2003 the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences gave Schwarz its first "IMPACT" lifetime achievement award. Active in music advocacy on a national and state level, he served on the National Council of the Arts and is currently Chairman of the Board of Young Musicians Excelling, an organization in Washington State which supports music education in the Pacific Northwest. Most recently, the City of Seattle recognized his outstanding achievements by naming the street alongside the Benaroya Hall "Gerard Schwarz Place" and the State of Washington gave him the honorary title of "General" for his extraordinary contributions as an artist and citizen.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) D.J. Irving forced overtime with two 3-pointers in 4 seconds to help Boston University win at America East-rival Albany 85-80 Wednesday night.
Albany's Mike Black hit a pair of free throws for a 63-57 lead with 15 seconds left. Irving drained a 3-pointer with 9 seconds remaining, and after Black committed a turnover on the inbound pass, Irving knocked down another 3 with 5 seconds left.
Boston's John Papale added 11 of his 18 points in overtime.
Maurice Watson Jr. led the Terriers (10-10, 4-3) with 21 points, while Irving was 5-of-11 shooting from deep and scored 20. Malik Thomas scored 12 points with 10 rebounds for his first career double-double.
Black hit just 5 of 22 from the field but made 9 of 9 at the foul line and led the Great Danes (16-5, 5-2) with 20 points. Albany had been off to the program's best ever 20-game start.

The advancement of technology around the globe can be seen in all property sectors; however, it is perhaps most evident in industrial and logistics real estate. Not only is the physical space impacted by the proliferation of robots and automated systems, but supply chains will continue to be transformed by the rapidly evolving self-driving vehicles, production analytics and artificial intelligence. In our previous report on the megatrends presented at the Power of Three conference, we discussed the importance of demographic shifts and how the labor component will be affected within the logistics space vis-à-vis automation.
Here in our final installment we focus on the technology piece and how it is transforming industrial real estate and its surrounding supply chain networks, with respect to autonomous vehicles, robotics and artificial intelligence

But both autoboxing and unboxing come with certain caveats which need to be understood before using them in production code and it become even more important because they are automatic and can create subtle bugs if you are not sure when autoboxing in Java code occurs and when unboxing happens.
This is my fifth article on features introduced in Java 5 after my post on Java Enum, How Generics works in Java and varargs example. In this Java tutorial, we will see: What is autoboxing and unboxing in Java ? When autoboxing and unboxing occur in Java? and things to remember while dealing with primitives and objects in Java with code examples.
What is autoboxing and unboxing in Java
intList.add(1); //autoboxing - primitive to object
intList.add(2); //autoboxing
ThreadLocal<Integer> intLocal = new ThreadLocal<Integer>();
intLocal.set(4); //autoboxing
int number = intList.get(0); // unboxing
int local = intLocal.get(); // unboxing in Java
Autoboxing and Unboxing Example in Java
int iPrimitive = iObject; //unboxing - object to primitive conversion
System.out.println("autoboxing example - method invocation i: " + iParam);
return iParam;
//autoboxing and unboxing in method invocation
show(3); //autoboxing
int result = show(3); //unboxing because return type of method is Integer
for(int i=1000; i<5000; i++){
Integer sum = new Integer(result);
System.out.println("method with primitive argument");
public void test(Integer num){
System.out.println("method with wrapper argument");
//calling overloaded method
AutoboxingTest autoTest = new AutoboxingTest();
int value = 3;
autoTest.test(value); //no autoboxing
Integer iValue = value;
autoTest.test(iValue); //no autoboxing
the method with a primitive argument
the method with wrapper argument
Things to remember while using autoboxing in Java
Integer anotherOne = new Integer(1);
if(one == anotherOne){
System.out.println("both one are equal");
System.out.println("Both one are not equal");
One of my reader Mitchee says that it's not clear, so I am updating this section with few more details, Mitchee, let me know if it makes sense:
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Example 1: == comparison pure primitive – no autoboxing
int i1 = 1;
int i2 = 1;
System.out.println("i1==i2 : " + (i1 == i2)); // true
// Example 2: equality operator mixing object and primitive
Integer num1 = 1; // autoboxing
int num2 = 1;
System.out.println("num1 == num2 : " + (num1 == num2)); // true
// Example 3: special case - arises due to autoboxing in Java
Integer obj1 = 1; // autoboxing will call Integer.valueOf()
Integer obj2 = 1; // same call to Integer.valueOf() will return same
// cached Object
System.out.println("obj1 == obj2 : " + (obj1 == obj2)); // true
// Example 4: equality operator - pure object comparison
Integer one = new Integer(1); // no autoboxing
Integer anotherOne = new Integer(1);
System.out.println("one == anotherOne : " + (one == anotherOne)); // false
i1==i2 : true
num1 == num2 : true
obj1 == obj2 : true
one == anotherOne : false
In third example which is a corner case in autoboxing, both Integer object are initialized automatically due to autoboxing and since Integer.valueOf() method is used to convert int to Integer and it caches object ranges from -128 to 127, it returns same object both time.
In short obj1 and obj2 are pointing to the same object and when we compare two objects with a == operator it returns true without any autoboxing. In last example object is explicitly initialized and compared using equality operator , this time, == return false because both one and anotherOne reference variables are pointing to the different object.
//NullPointerException on unboxing
if( count <= 0){
System.out.println("Count is not started yet");
3) Cached Objects
4) Unnecessary objects and GC overhead
In Summary autoboxing and unboxing in Java are a great convenience but demands care and awareness while using them. autoboxing and unboxing have several legitimate use case but should not be used with equality operator especially mixing with primitive and object are dangerous. If you like to read books check out Effective Java and Java 5.0 Tiger: A Developer's Notebook , those have some more insightful tips on autoboxing and unboxing in Java.

Fearlessly create fresh, branded content
PageLeaf is a web-based content management system (CMS) that helps you to keep web content up-to-date, and allows a wide variety of authors to create site content while maintaining a consistent look throughout the system. A team of central administrators is in charge of a site's policy and management to ensure that pages meet the quality standards for the organization.
Because PageLeaf content management system distributes the task of content management while centralizing content control, this enables your webmaster to focus on strategic information layout rather than data entry, ultimately leading to a website better organized to meet institutional goals. Learn about how PageLeaf empowers your webmaster with Editor Tools.
Distributed Content Management
Traditionally, large websites have been maintained by one or a few individuals. Interested parties passed content to the webmaster, who would then add it to the site. In this traditional scenario, the webmaster's time and expertise is squandered on basic data-entry.
PageLeaf transcends this scenario, empowering a large number of people to add content to your site. This frees up your webmaster's time to exercise his or her full range of skills to the overall benefit of the website.
PageLeaf's word processor style interface is familiar and accessible. So people who used to be removed from the content management process, due to technical inexperience, are now able to contribute to the site's content with minimal help.
When interested parties create content with PageLeaf, it does not go directly to the live website. Rather it is held in a staging area and is not published to the live website until the webmaster reviews and approves it. The webmaster may also grant certain individuals the privilege to bypass the staging area and add content directly to the live site.
Centralized Content Control
Many webmasters are trained to optimally use a website to help an institution meet its goals. Once a large variety of people are adding content, the webmasters can move beyond endless data entry to employing their skills in strategic web editing:
- Reviewing content quality: To be a credible and helpful source of information your website's content must be current, accurate, and consistent. Content review is a huge part of the webmaster's job. The webmaster must continuously monitor your content and decide if it meets the overall strategic goals of the website. PageLeaf enables a webmaster to review and edit all incoming content before allowing it to be posted to the live site.
- Content planning: Webmasters must decide what information to add and when to add it. As webmasters remove outdated information, they must be ready to replace it. They must also anticipate seasonal information changes and updates. Therefore a webmaster has to organize the content creators so that they have the appropriate information ready when it is needed. With PageLeaf the content can stay in the staging area until it is ready to be posted, so information can be created well in advance of when it is needed.
- Planning flexible and intuitive navigation: Good navigation must be flexible enough to allow for new content (as in the above paragraph) and it must also be intuitively laid out so that site visitors can find information easily.

You must complete that 25xtreme process (go all they way to acquiring satellite info) before trying any additional upgrades.
Back to xtreme...
I have never experienced the decompression error, so I can't say it is not an issue. I would make sure you have a good copy (http://www.tivostuff.com) and reburn the cd and try again. If there is even the slightest chance your original xtreme install is bad, you are asking for trouble.
Make sure when you put the drive back in the tivo, the jumpers are set properly. On a single drive setup, it should be set for master (with no slave if that setting exisits.) Also, if you are using a cable with more than one connector, try the other one. Some say cable select also works, but I have never tried.
Good luck

My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there."—Charles E Kettering Toward 16 By Harvey H. Segal Man has an insatiable curiosity about the shape of the future and it is hardly likely to be concealed as the curtain rises on the decade of the 1970s. Our early ancestors were principally concerned with physical survival in the immediate future, imploring their gods for protection from plague and pillage, droughts and floods, fires and frosts. Modern man's interest in prognostication is directed largely toward the unknowns in the economy. Forecasts of the economic future are based upon an impressive body of historical knowledge as well as techniques for linking the past with the present and, hopefully, with the future. But sophistication is no insurance against costly failure in the treacherous game of forecasting. Ten years ago, it will be remembered, there was much brave talk about the "Swinging Sixties" and the unlimited economic horizons of a decade of rapid growth that lay ahead. Yet half the decade was to pass before the country was lifted out of economic stagnation, from the slough of slow growth and an unacceptably high level of unemployment. The euphoria of that decade therefore stands as a warning against glib optimism in the 1970s. Safety in forecasting can be purchased, but only at the price of retreating to the trite or innocuous, such as the statement that the only thing certain in the uncertain future is the persistence of change. But there is a middle ground approach that offers valuable insights into the future by ignoring the short-term reverses and twists of business fortunes—the saw-toothed fluctuations of the wall chart curves. It involves the extension of well established trends, the long-term tendencies that are not likely to be quickly reversed and which exert a powerful influence in shaping the course of the economy. What is required of us today, if we want to understand and master our future, is a blend of capabilities. We need to combine the realistic, hard-headed approach of the experienced and skeptical accountant with the appreciation of the new and significant among many emerging social trends— which is more in the domain of the far-sighted social scientist. In other words, we must use both the telescope and the microscope in order to discern the big picture as well as the details of our future. Population growth, a fundamental of any excursion into the future, is influenced by persistent forces—economic, social and technological—that change gradually and in a reasonably predictable fashion. New breakthroughs in medical knowledge and techniques, as well as the more effective application of what is already known, will in all likelihood accelerate the decline in infant mortality and increase the longevity of the adult population. Affluence should help sustain a high birth rate, but one that is lower than in the 1940s and 1950s. Thus, barring some misfortunes of catastrophic dimension, such as the outbreak of a thermonuclear war, there will be net increases in the population of the United States during every year of the 1970s. Forecasting that growth —and with it the composition of the population by age groups, color and other characteristics—hinges largely on predicting the fertility and birth rates. Other trends are far less stable over time, growth of income and of government expenditures being examples of trajectories that are subject to the fickle deflections of fleeting, short-term influences. The more regular, firmly estab- Harvey H. Segal is Chairman of the Economics Department of the University of Massachusetts at Boston.

Money Monster starts off as a good thriller but gradually slithers into its bizarre grubbiness.
Jodie Foster's thriller is based upon big organizations stripping people off of their money, and getting away with it, until one ballsy guy decides to come up with a gun in his hand to get some real answers. The movie is continuously and narrowly saved by its contemporary feel, occasional humour and the way it boldly scales some uncharted territories which seems both stupid and plausible at times.
What the Money Monster profusely lacks is the lustre of a good drama, where we fail to read the thoughts of its characters. Even though George Clooney and Julia Roberts were a fair fit for their roles, Jack O' Connell doesn't reek of an apparent tension. He misses out on portraying emotions of a guy with nowhere to go. There isn't a grave flair to his act, presence of which might have helped us to put a pin on him as a disturbed soul.
Money Monster fares well in the plot enclave, where things keep escalating at every juncture. The gravity of the situation however goes for a toss when a weird role reversal happens, which was supposed to be the high point of the movie. Jodie Foster fails to properly depict why Kyle becomes all of a sudden so important to Lee. Confused? Spoilers follow below:
So it all starts off really well. With Clooney in the front page, Julia Roberts in his ears, with a show that was as flashy as the theatrics people need to get lured towards the stock business. In comes Jack O'Connell as Kyle Budwell, a guy who invested everything he had by listening to Clooney's banter of why investing in IBIS, a promising budding company, was a great idea. With a bigger player pulling the company's strings, Walt Camby (Dominic West), the real culprit behind IBIS plummeting goes hiding. What follows is a guy looking for answers and a seemingly empty Lee Gates (George Clooney) forgetting all about a formidable bomb wrapped around his chest, also about the psychotic guy with a trigger to his fate, trying to help him out get one. He is willing to do anything in order to get to Camby to get some real answers instead of the word 'glitch', and that could include even standing behind the perpetrator to save him, the guy who was threatening to take his life some minutes ago.
Things go down those impalpable roads from where there is no return, the moment Lee Gates starts worrying about Kyle and tries to help him instead, pulling the cameraman Lenny into the stream as well. Police-thoughts get lost in the short sojourn that Lee decides to take with Kyle. However, the intrusion of the world on the roads was very credible, and brilliantly shot.
Overall things in Money Monster sieve in like a fair story, and how the world behaves to an outbreak like that, which is justly shown. Editing is on a roll. Screenplay quite average.
Money Monster is a good thrilling flick which does really well when it comes to entertaining. You just wish a little profundity and digestible material to have lingered there, and it would have fared even better.

BALTIMORE – Fueled by sophomore midfielder Pat Young (Ewing, N.J./Christchurch School (Va.)), the UMBC men's lacrosse team rallied from six goals down to pull within one twice, but could not get over the top, falling to No. 3 Johns Hopkins, 15-8, Saturday afternoon at UMBC Stadium.
Young scored three straight goals and four of five during a stirring UMBC (2-2) rally in the second quarter as the Retrievers cut a 7-1 deficit to just one, and headed to the break down, 7-6.
The Retrievers played Johns Hopkins (5-0) evenly in the third with each team scoring twice, but the Blue Jays blanked UMBC in the final period and pulled away with six goals of their own.
Red-shirt freshman goalie Connor Gordon (Bourne, Mass./Tabor Academy) made 16 saves for UMBC and helped spark the rally as the Retrievers shut out Hopkins in the second quarter.
Eric Schneider recorded eight saves for the visitors to earn his fifth win of the season and sixth of his career.
Johns Hopkins looked to turn the game into a rout early as Ryan Brown scored just 1:20 into the game and then turn provider, feeding Brandan Benn less than a minute later for a quick 2-0 JHU lead. Brown scored again with 9:27 left in the period before junior Ty Kashur (Manassas, Va./Stonewall Jackson/CCBC-Essex) got UMBC on the board off a feed from Young. The Blue Jays scored four more times in the frame, but Young pegged back for the Retrievers with just 10 seconds left before the break.
Young's goal sent UMBC on its way in the second period as he singlehandedly cut the lead to three, 7-4, with two more unassisted efforts. At the other end of the field, Gordon shut out the high-powered Blue Jays, making seven saves in the second quarter. Sophomore Jack Gannon (Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y./Sachem North) helped the Retrievers trim the lead all the way down to one heading to the half, dishing assists to senior Matt Gregoire (Crofton, Md./South River) and Young for the fifth and sixth UMBC goals.
Out of the break, Hopkins faceoff specialist Drew Kennedy won the opening draw, raced down field, and passed to Wells Stanwick who quickly dumped it to Benn for a goal within the first ten seconds. The visitors added another goal just over a minute later, but UMBC did not go away. Gannon scored back-to-back goals for the Black and Gold, first unassisted and then from a pass from freshman Max Maxwell (Hamburg, N.Y./Hamburg), and UMBC once again trailed by just one, 9-8, going to the fourth.
In the final period, Hopkins clamped down on the Retrievers, holding them to just three shots in the quarter, while scoring six times on 16 shots. Benn scored two of the goals for the visitors and led all scorers with five goals in the game.
UMBC now wraps up its early-season four-game home stand by hosting Mercer on Tuesday night at UMBC Stadium. The opening faceoff between the Retrievers and the Bears is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
- Johns Hopkins has won all 12 meetings between the two programs.
- Saturday's game marked just the third time in the all-time series that the two squads played at UMBC Stadium.
- Young's four goals match his career-high which he set twice last season as a freshman (at Hartford 3/30/13; vs. Binghamton 4/27/13).
