Baker has been dealing with some elbow tendinitis that has limited his ability to get on the field for some of his recent scheduled outings. In his last start on Monday, he suffered through a disaster as he got lit up for seven runs in 2 2/3 innings pitched. If Baker can't get stretched out before the start of the year, the Twins will have to look for some different options to fill his spot in the rotation. He was in line to get the home opener start for the Twins at Target Field on April 9 but it is looking more and more like someone else will be taking the mound that day.
The other pitcher dealing with some off field family issues is Jason Marquis. His 7-year-old daughter was hospitalized after a serious bicycle accident and he has been away from the team for over a week. According to the team, he has been completing some throwing session while he is away but they still don't know when to anticipate him returning to the squad. Family matters are always going to take precedent over your job in the big leagues especially when it comes to a serious injury to a person's child. Fans of the Twins have been sending their thoughts and prayers to the Marquis family. But on the baseball side of things, his absence from the team leaves another spot open in the starting rotation.
There are three pitchers who could be asked to fill the void left by Baker and Marquis. Liam Hendriks, Anthony Swarzak, and Matt Maloney are all being stretched out so they can be ready to step into the starting rotation if they are called upon. Hendriks and Swarzak were both part of the starting rotation at the end of the miserable 2011 season and Maloney is a new member of the Twins organization. Here is a brief look at each of these players and what each of their chances are to be in the rotation by Opening Day.
Liam Hendriks
2011 Season: 6.17 ERA, 23.1 IP, 16 K, 6 BB, 1.500 WHIP, 4 games
2012 Spring: 2.40 ERA, 15.0 IP, 12 K, 5 BB, 1.200 WHIP, 6 games
As the reigning Twins Minor League Pitcher of the Year, the team was going to take a long look at Hendriks before deciding where he should start the year in 2012. He started last year in Double-A and he put up some impressive numbers on his way to making his debut for the Twins. During the 2011 season, he made only nine starts at Rochester for a total of 49.1 innings. This means there was a good chance the team wanted him to get in some more time at Triple-A before he was needed with the big league squad. He might be the most likely player to step into the starting rotation because he was the only one out of the three that was in line to begin the season as a starter. He is already able to throw 75 or 80 pitches in a game and that number could be higher by the time the Twins break camp.
Anthony Swarzak
2011 Season: 4.32 ERA, 102.0 IP, 55 K, 26 BB, 1.343 WHIP, 27 games
2012 Spring: 3.86 ERA, 9.1 IP, 6 K, 4 BB, 1.393 WHIP, 5 gamesThe Twins asked Swarzak to fill quite a variety of roles last season from late inning relief pitcher to long man out of the bullpen and even a starter here or there along the way. He seemed to adjust well to his varying role on the team and he pitched a near-no hitter on May 28 versus the Angels by allowing one hit over the course of eight innings. Swarzak was in position to make the 25-man roster as a relief option but that role might have to be adjusted in the next week and a half. Until the Twins get some of their other starters back on the field, Swarzak could be asked to go back to his role as fill-in starter. On Tuesday afternoon, Swarzak pitched 3 2/3 innings without allowing a hit against the Orioles. In the game he was able to throw 59 pitches so it is most likely that he would need a little more time to be fully stretched out.
Matt Maloney
2011 Season: 9.16 ERA, 18.2 IP, 13 K, 4 BB, 2.143 WHIP, 8 games
2012 Spring: 0.00 ERA, 11.1 IP, 14 K, 3 BB, 0.705 WHIP, 7 gamesMaloney has put on one of the top performances so far in the spring for the Twins. His spring stat line looks unbelievable but it is hard to judge a player off of such a small sample size. Maloney's time in the majors last year with the Reds was not very productive so the Twins hoped a change of scenery would bring out the best in him. He spent most of the last four seasons stuck at the Triple-A level with a total of 80 innings pitched in the big leagues. For most of his career, he has been used as a starter and the Twins were trying to get him to be more comfortable as a relief pitcher. He may need to revert back to his old role of starter before the season begins so the Twins can have a full starting rotation. Maloney will take his perfect ERA to the mound on Thursday as he is scheduled to start the Twins contest against the Pirates.
The lucky thing for the Twins is they have an off day worked into the early portion of their schedule so the team won't necessarily need a fifth starter for the first time through the rotation. In the grand scheme of things, the team will be able to survive with the likes of Hendriks, Swarzak, and Maloney as replacement players. The concern could be if these players are forced to take on a more permanent role in the rotation for a big chunk of the 2012 campaign.

"The best work, across all media, were the pro bono projects," juror James Clunie said. "I saw a campaign for the ACLU that utilized the Google search bar in such an honest, frightening way."
"One of my favorite executions was the Intel film from Venables," said juror Jim Haven. "The adventure depicted across the Internet was detailed, clever, beautifully executed and mind boggling."
"I had never seen the Gatorade Replay series before," said juror Tina Johnson. "What a neat idea."
"I loved the Flying Horse 'Go, Go, Go' campaign," said juror Chuck Rachford. "I'm still showing it to people weeks after judging."
"There was a campaign about texting while driving that really made you think," juror Mark Wenneker said. "It blows my mind how people are willing to put their lives and families' lives on the line. Of course that didn't stop me from doing it myself on my way to work. I had a pretty good tagline that I didn't want to forget."
Along with all the great ideas came a few disappointments.
"I was pleased to see an increase in longer format cause-based advertising, but I wanted to see a wider variety of entries," juror Helen Pak said.
"I was surprised at how much of the printed work was submitted digitally," juror KT Thayer said. "Although most of the concepts still came through clearly, I think a lot of the details and craft can sometimes get lost when you don't have a physical printed piece in front of you."
"We knew there were going to be a lot of entries, but when you see them all collected in one place, it gives you perspective on how hard it really is to get something into the Annual." —KT Thayer
"I'm always surprised at how much time people expect you to engage with their brand," Clunie said. "I don't have time to upload a picture of my face to a Web site so I can see what I look like sitting behind the wheel of a Jetta or on an American Standard toilet or whatever."
No critical commentary would be complete without some discussion of the ubiquitous campaign documentary video.
"There were some really great case studies, but the length of time it took to watch some of them was brutal," Wenneker said. "There should be a one-minute rule."
"There's something to be said for looking at work without someone describing it to you," Thayer said. "The idea still needs to be great when there isn't someone explaining how popular and successful it is."
When asked about current trends in advertising, juror Mike Caguin is seeing a lot of what he'd classify as PR events promoted through social channels. "Nothing is just one ad any more," he said. "Campaigns will only become more complex, interesting and difficult to judge."
"We're seeing advertising pop up in places it never was before—on the water, in the middle of the road, as holograms on TV screens," Rachford said. "If we keep trying to outdo ourselves, we'll live like in the movie Idiocracy. I hope this trend ends."
"People like advertising if it's good and presented honestly," Haven said. "The worst thing about all the innovation is that it expands the possibility of mediocrity and public distaste for invasive and uninspired messages."
"There was a tremendous amount of really good ideas, but the truly great ideas stood out and will stand the test of time. You'll be able to pick up the Annual five to ten years from now and see the beauty in the disruptive thinking." —Mike Caguin
"Brands can't keep trying to be all things to all people and because of that the work will inevitably become more interesting, not to mention more relevant," Thayer said.
"People are relying more and more on their social networks for everything from discovering new products to feedback on buying decisions to creating social shopping," Johnson said. "The question we need to ask is, how will advertising play a prominent role in that?"
"The consumer is at the center of advertising with more power than ever before," Pak said. "Connecting to the consumer with content and conversation are key, regardless of medium. Being memorable is increasingly difficult and our biggest challenge."
As in previous years, we employed a two-step jurying system, screening and finals. For screening, the jurors worked in teams of three (Jean Coyne acted as the ninth screening juror due to a last minute cancellation), screening a third of the television, print and projected entries in one of three halls equipped with broadcast equipment and six rows of tables for print. Print entries were spread out on the tables by category and each juror reviewed the entries independently. Any juror could put an entry into the next round by handing it to a member of our staff. Television, radio, integrated and digital entries were screened by checking an "in" or "out" box on scoring sheets.
After all the entries were screened, we combined the selections from the three teams for finals. During the finals, all eight judges worked as a single team. In one hall, print entries were spread out on tables by category. Two paper cups, one white and one red, with slots cut in the bottom, were placed upside down to the right of each entry, white cups for "in" votes, red cups for "out." Each juror voted by placing a different colored ceramic tile into the appropriate cup. A check of the tile colors ensured that every judge voted on every single piece.
After all the jurors were finished voting on the print setup, they moved to another hall for a final session of TV, radio, projected images or integrated campaigns. Online advertising was judged on a bank of computers in another location in our office. Again voting was done by each juror checking the "in" or "out" column on the scoring sheets.
Judges were not permitted to vote on projects in which they were directly involved. When judges' pieces were in the finals, Jean or I voted in their stead.
We would like to extend our grateful appreciation to our jurors for their conscientious efforts in selecting our 52nd annual exhibition. —Patrick Coyne ca

Entrepreneurs hope to beat economic odds
By Ellen Wulfhorst
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rachel Dooley quit her high-paying job as an attorney a month ago to launch a jewelry business, and her friends think she is crazy.
Her friends may be right, according to statistics showing that small and entrepreneurial businesses are suffering at record rates in the recession. But struggling as they may be, many entrepreneurs say they prefer working on their own, launching a small business or promoting an original idea.
In fact, others' job losses, layoffs and workplace anxieties made the move easier, said Dooley, who creates and sells the Gemma Redux jewelry line.
"Watching my friends' careers go up in smoke and watching tons of people getting laid off gave me the strength," she said. "I thought, 'Who knows when that's going to happen to me?'"
But does she panic? "Probably once a day," she said. "Looking at my bank account and seeing this is where we're at, and the only way this grows is if I do it, it's daunting."
Only two-thirds of small business start-ups survive two years and fewer than half survive four years, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Also, the U.S. self-employment rate in nonagricultural industries last year was 6.9 percent, the lowest on record, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said.
"Given the turmoil in the credit and financial markets, it doesn't appear that currently it would be a very good time to start a business," said BLS economist Steve Hipple. Continued...

The Sheriff's Office will participate in a national effort to step up enforcement of the Driving While Intoxicated laws during the upcoming St. Patrick's Day Holiday period (March 8th to March 17th).
Additional deputies working under the Select Traffic Enforcement Program will be searching for impaired drivers throughout that period. The Sheriff's Office is reminding drivers not to get behind the wheel if they've been drinking. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports over 700 people were killed nationwide in crashes involving a drunk driver during the St. Patrick's Day holidays from 2006 to 2010.
Whether you're gathering with friends at the local bar or attending a large party, if alcohol is part of the festivities, make sure you designate a sober driver to get you home safely, or make other transportation arrangements.
To prevent alcohol-related driving tragedies from occurring, the following steps are recommended in order that everyone can have a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day:
Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin.Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home.If you're impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation to get home safely.If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact local law enforcement.If you know people who are about to drive while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.
The primary goal of the Sheriff's Office in undertaking these enhanced enforcement efforts is safety. The Sheriff's Office hopes everyone has a fun but safe St. Patrick's Day holiday.

Tarver-Kayode draw; Tarver retains IBO belt
By Francisco Salazar and Miguel Maravilla at ringside
Photos: Big Joe Miranda
The grudge match between IBO cruiserweight world champion Antonio Tarver and unbeaten Lateef Kayode ended in a 12 round split decision draw at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. Kayode was the more active fighter early on in the fight, landing straight right hands to the head. Tarver finally got going in the fourth round, throwing and landing consistently with left hands to the head. Both had their moments in the middle rounds, but Tarver was able to stun Kayode in the ninth round with a right-left combination to the head. During the championship rounds, Tarver stalked Kayode around the ring, but did not throw enough punches as Kayode looked to counter. Each fighter won the fight on a judge's scorecard 115-113, but the third judge scored the bout 114-114. Fightnews.com scored the bout 115-113 in favor of Kayode. Tarver, from Tampa, FL, goes to 29-6-1, 20 KOs. Kayode, from Hollywood, CA by way of Lagos, Nigeria, goes to 18-0-1, 14 KOs. Despite the draw, Tarver retains his world title belt.
Middleweight Peter Quillin won a hard-fought 10 round unanimous decision over former undisputed world champion Winky Wright. Both had their moments in the first four rounds of the fight. Quillin used effective hand speed, but Wright was able to counter well. Quillin dropped Wright in the fifth round with a right hand to the head. Wright got up and was able to do well in the sixth and seventh rounds. However, Quillin hurt Wright with an uppercut to the head, forcing him to cover up until the end of the round. Wright had his moments in the round, but Quillin finished strong in the 10th. All three judges scored the bout in favor of Quillin, 98-91, 98-91, and 97-92. Fightnews.com scored the bout 96-93 in favor of Quillin, (27-0, 20 KOs) who hails from New York City. Wright, who hails from St. Petersburg, FL, falls to 51-6-1, 25 KOs. It was Wright's first fight in over three years.
Junior middleweight world title holder Austin Trout won a workmanlike 12 round unanimous decision over Delvin Rodriguez. The bout did not live up to the pre-fight hype as both looked to counter one another during the first half of the fight. Trout began to let his hands go more in the second half of the fight, connecting to the head and body of Rodriguez. Trout looked tired in the last two rounds and was not able to keep up with Trout. All three judges scored the bout in favor of Trout, 117-111, 118-110, and an unbelievable 120-108. Fightnews.com scored the bout 116-112 in favor of Trout, who successfully defended his WBA 154-pound title. Trout, from Las Cruces, NM, goes to 25-0, 14 KOs, while Rodriguez, from Danbury, CT, falls to 26-6-3, 14 KOs.
Unbeaten bantamweight Leo Santa Cruz impressively won a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision over IBF #1 contender Vusi Malinga to win the vacant IBF bantamweight title. Santa Cruz threw and connected with a high volume of effective punches over the southpaw Malinga. During the middle rounds, Santa Cruz began to aggressively attack the body. He hurt Malinga with a left hook to the body in the seventh round and a right to the stomach in the eighth. Malinga hung in there, but had no answer for Santa Cruz, who tried to drop Malinga in the final moments of the 12th round. All three judges scored the bout in favor of Santa Cruz, 120-108, 120-108, and 119-109. Santa Cruz, from Rosemead, CA, improves to 20-0-1, 11 KOs. Malinga, from Johannesburg, South Africa, drops to 20-4, 12 KOs.
In a battle of top super middleweights, Sakio Bika stopped Dyah Ali in the 10th and final round. It was all Bika from the opening bell, as he pressed the action throughout the fight. Bika, who had Kevin Cunningham in his corner, kept landing repeated right hands to the head. It did not help Davis that he had his left hand down to his waist, making it easy for Bika to land those right hands. Bika stunned Davis in the seventh round and went for the kill in the 10th. Davis landed a good right hand to the head, but Bika came back to wobble Davis with a left, then a right hand to the head. Davis wobbled across the ring to a corner, where Bika followed up with a barrage of punches, prompting referee Thomas Taylor to stop the bout at 1:40. Bika, from Sydney, Australia by way of Cameroon, improves to 30-5-2, 21 KOs. Davis, from Coconut Creek, FL, drops to 21-3-1, 9 KOs.
Unbeaten lightweight contender Sharif Bogere knocked out Manuel Leyva in the second round of a scheduled 10 round bout. Bogere came out more aggressively than in previous fights. Because of this, he was able to drop the southpaw Leyva with a left hook to the head in the first round. Leyva stood up and fought back, but Bogere was too quick for him during most exchanges. In the opening moments of the second round, Leyva was dropped by Bogere, courtesy of a right hand to the head. Rather than hold on, Leyva's corner yelled at him to fight back. Leyva fought back the best he could, but on wobbly legs. Bogere loaded up on his punches, countering to the head. When Leyva was unable to protect himself from a barrage of punches, referee Zac Young stopped the bout at 38 seconds. Bogere, from Las Vegas, NV by way of Uganda, improves to 23-0, 15 KOs. Leyva, from Downey, CA, drops to 21-6, 12 KOs.
Junior welterweight Omar Figueroa remained unbeaten with a vicious first round knockout over Tyler Ziolkowski in a scheduled six round bout. Although Ziolkowski was game, he was not prepared for a hard left hook by Figueroa that landed to the stomach. Ziolkowski dropped to his knees in pain while referee Thomas Taylor counted him out at 2:00. Figueroa, from Weslaco, TX, goes to 17-0-1, 14 KOs. Ziolkowski, from St. Joseph, MO, drops to 14-16, 8 KOs. Figueroa is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.
Super welterweight Juan Reynoso had a successful professional debut, winning a four round unanimous decision over Beau Hamilton. Reynoso was the stronger and more effective. As Hamilton pressed the action, Reynoso easily countered to the head with hooks and crosses. Although he was outgunned, Hamilton pressed forward, landing one punch, but receiving two or three from Reynoso. All three judges scored the bout in favor of Reynoso, 40-36, 40-36, and 39-37. Hamilton, from Montague, CA, drops to 0-2.

The former 100 metres world record holder admitted in a statement he had tested positive for a banned stimulant. The 30-year-old said: "I can confirm that a sample I gave at the national trials in June earlier this year has returned 'adverse findings'. The substance oxilofrine (methylsynephrine) was found, which is considered by the authorities to be a banned stimulant."
Powell has won gold medals in the 4x100m relay at the Olympics and World Championships and held the world record before his compatriot Usain Bolt. He has run 9.88 seconds this year, but failed to make the Jamaican team for next month's World Championships. It was later reported that fellow Jamaican sprinter Sherone Simpson has tested positive for the same banned stimulant.
Powell insisted that he had taken the substance unknowingly. He said: "I want to be clear in saying to my family, friends, and most of all my fans worldwide that I have never knowingly or wilfully taken any supplements or substances that break any rules. I am not now - nor have I ever been - a cheat.
"My team has launched an internal investigation and we are co-operating with the relevant agencies and law enforcement authorities to discover how the substance got in my system. I assure you we will find out how this substance passed out rigorous internal checks and balances and design systems to make sure it never happens again."
Powell was reportedly one of five Jamaicans to have tested positive, according to the Jamaican Gleaner newspaper. But they do not include Bolt, whose agent Ricky Simms said: "I was just with him in Jamaica and we've had no information and we've not been contacted by anyone. It is not anyone that I'm connected with."
Powell added in his statement: "Professionally, this finding fully negates any possibility of me being apart of Jamaica's contingent of athletes competing at the World Championships in Moscow later this summer. Personally, however, this result comes at a greater cost. I write this statement knowing fully that my family, friends, fans and country will be disappointed in this latest development.
"I am reeling from this genuinely surprising result. I am confident, however, that I will come out stronger and wiser and better prepared to deal with the twists and turns of being a professional athlete. I accept the consequences that come with this finding - after all there is only one Asafa Powell. My fault however is not cheating but instead not being more vigilant."
The Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCo) confirmed to the Gleaner that they had received reports of positive tests.
"The Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission has received reports of adverse analytical findings from A samples," Dr Herb Elliott, the chairman of the JADCo board, was quoted as saying by the newspaper. "The process of results management has commenced in accordance with JADCo anti-doping rules."

According to this page it was Dota 2: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dota_2
According to this page it was Dota 2: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dota_2
there was also a bunch of broken personality core handle bar gibs cut out that looked really wet and slippery
The combine overwatch soldier uniforms are designed for all terrains/climates
It's probably just going to be a higher poly version of the old one but with snow camouflage.
Isn't it amazing to think that if you list all of the added features to source since The Orange Box, that they will all be compiled together in Half-Life 2: Episode 3?
Cloth physics, (improved)shadow mapping, blob particles, (improved)navigation meshes, water flowing etc.
I think it wouldn't be good to suddenly give all the combine trenchcoats to take advantage of cloth physics. I also don't realy think the combine would care for camo.
Maybe some sheets of material might flap in the wind.. hanging from some place or another in an errie sort of way, or rebels might on occasion wear knee length apparel . Perhaps we might also get to deform metal objects like barrels or combine helmets.
I'm also interested if portal 2's liquid particle effects could be used in say... blood or antlion worker spit. Or if the effect wasn't used just to make fluid blobs look better and instead assist in the appearance of other particle effects that aren't blobs.
I don't own dota2, but I understand there's just one map. How large is that map? Bigger then Source maps we have now?
Also dota 2 maps doesn't need to be detailed like FPS maps.
the dota map isn't that big.
I hope we get Combine soldiers/Civil Protection with Trench Coats.
Pointlessly losing units to snipers is inefficient.
I doubt they would release Half Life 3 without some form of multiplayer or co-op nowadays.
I imagine it will be not be main story co-op, rather something like the Portal 2 co-op with its own story.
Perhaps something like Barney and Magnussun co-op, with Barney escorting Magnussun somewhere to do something important. Barney with guns and Magnussun with a Gravity Gun or other similar devices would be a cool dynamic. Both able to kill enemies, but in different ways.
Griggs and Sheckley in co-op would be an amazing way to bring the characters back without giving them an unnecessary reappearance in the storyline.
idk why, but I could really see for HL3, valve going a "battlefield-esque" route with some of the MP modes, and having story-driven battles that are based on the single player, like a mode with Rebels vs Combine fighting for control of a city, or hell, maybe even a replication of the 7-hour war (except it wouldn't be totally accurate with who would win in MP, obviously)
Like, it waves and moves by itself, like a ragdoll?
If we model the HECU off the Marines (a mix of OP4 and BMS), they would have:
Assault (MP5 or M4A1)
Shotgun (SPAS-12)
Machinegunner (M249 SAW)
Sniper (M40A3)
M1 Abrams MBT
AH-64 Apache
AV-8B Harrier II
M35 Cargo Truck
V-22 Osprey
Autonomous Sentry Guns
Concealed Land Mines
Wall-mounted Trip Mines
Heavy Mortar / Artillery Support
Then for Xenian Forces we have:
Alien Grunts
Xen Flyer aka Manta Ray
Direct Teleportation
Manta Teleportation
Snark Mines
Alien Laser
Always wanted to play as Xen creatures in a mod like that, Point Of View did a great job for Vorts, it's a shame no work was put into a multiplayer mode.
You can play as aliens in Swarm for Half-Life.
If Half-Life 3 had a multiplayer component, it should be an overhaul of HL2:DM.
Preferably with the extreme chaos and fast pace of HL2:DM, though.
I was just playing HL2: DM the other day
I would want unlimited sprint though for HL3, and more different weapons like the SLAM that aren't just point-and-click to kill though, more stuff like dropping a grenade then launching it with the grav gun at the right time
And no, I don't want it to be like that in arcade shooter like Half-Life. In games like that (eg: counter strike) it's good when you can see your enemies right away, clearly. I remember hating any non-urban MP map with vegetation in COD games because it's just not fun for a fast paced shooter to have someone you didn't see shoot you from some bush.
You don't have to wear flashing neon armour just because you're the more powerful force.
I can't imagine overwatch having many operations in the artic on earth. I doubt that they'd bother to manufacture new artic uniforms for the soldiers just for one fight. Perhaps they might use white elites more though... id be happy to see some snow settling on the soldiers though.
I always thought the combine were more after inspiring fear than camouflage. It's not as obvious as say.. Napoleonic redcoats and whitecoats and bluecoats... but they do have glowing eyes.
i do think there would be few soldiers there until the combine discover the borealis (maybe they'd have discovered it before the events of the next half-life installation, maybe not) but there probably would be defense measures and possibly even a good amount of synths out there to guard whatever operations they'd have going on.
Exactly, why shouldn't you have stuff over at the artics? Also, I guess they had to capture different cityes, maybe in the future there were some over at the artics?
I hope we get to see Aperture Military Androids based on Atlas and P-body or some of their concept art, like these:
Although we aren't even sure what version (time) of Aperture the Borealis was from, i expect it will be the modern Aperture though.

This is very good for limbering inner thigh muscles.
1. Sit on the floor with your spine straight, fitting the soles of your feet together. Grasp the upper part of your feet with your hands.
2. Lift your chin to the ceiling and begin inhaling. As you inhale, pull up on your feet as far as is comfortable.
3. As you exhale, keep the pull on your feet, but relax the inner thigh muscles so that you can feel your knees drop.
4. Inhale and exhale this way 4 times. Relax by sitting cross-legged or by laying on the floor on your back.

Pledge Challenge Takes a New Twist
Another challenge to the Pledge of Allegiance is underway in Massachusetts state court -- but this one is a bit different. The lead attorney says it's not about the 1st Amendment; it's confined solely to a state law.
Attorney David Niose says previous challenges have been based on the 1st Amendment's Establishment Clause. But this challenge is not.
"The state constitution's Equal Rights Amendment, which expressly forbids discrimination based on religion or creed."
Niose says there's no federal component to this challenge.
But South Texas College of Law Professor Gerald Treece says he expects it to reach the U.S. Supreme Court some day.
"We'll be lucky to get a decision out of the Massachusetts courts this year or even early next year.
Professor Treece says it'll take years to reach the U.S. Supreme Court, if it does.

• Follow @ZipsMSoc on Twitter for updates during the match as well as insider access throughout the season.
For Starters
• The Zips started six freshmen (Robby Dambrot, Richie Laryea, Sam Gainford, Stuart Holthusen, Nathan Quirk, and Nate Shultz) against New Mexico, and seven new players overall (including junior Danilo Radjen).
• Junior goalkeeper Jake Fenlason, who won the starting job in the MAC Tournament last year, made only his fifth career start in net.
• Senior Saad Abdul-Salaam, junior Andrew Souders, and sophomore Adam Najem were the only three regulars to start that game who had a majority of playing time last season.
Outside Looking In
• Though ranked No. 13 in the NSCAA Preseason Poll, the Zips have dropped out of the Top 25 as of the first regular season poll released yesterday and are now receiving votes.
• Akron fell to both Maryland (3-0) and Syracuse (2-1) in the preseason before dropping their season opener at New Mexico (1-0).
• The Zips were ranked No. 8 heading into last season and never dropped out of the top 10, reaching as high as No. 5 midseason, before finding themselves at No. 17 in the postseason rankings released following the NCAA Tournament where UA fell to Marquette in the second round.
About South Florida
• The Bulls lost their first and only game so far of the 2014 season at Florida Gulf Coast, 2-0.
• After capturing the American Athletic Conference Tournament crown in 2013, USF made their seventh consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament, where the lost in the first round to North Carolina 1-0.
• Player to watch: Edwin Moalosi - the senior midfielder started all 21 games in 2013 for the Bulls on his way to a fourteen point season with five goals and four assists, both good for second on the team. He was also named the offensive MVP of the AAC Tournament.
South Florida Series Notes
• This will be the fourth time that these two programs meet, with Akron winning the last matchup 5-0 in 2012.
• The Zips have never traveled to South Florida, however, as they are 2-1 in the lifetime series, with all three of those games coming at home.
• Akron's one loss to South Florida came in the first time the two teams faced one another in 2007, when the Bulls outlasted the Zips and won 1-0 in double overtime. UA took the second matchup, however, winning 2-0 in 2009.
About Florida Gulf Coast
• The Eagles, left out of the rankings coming into the 2014 season, are now receiving votes. At 48 votes, FGCU received 10 more votes than Akron in this season's first poll, as the two programs are receiving the most votes of any schools not in the top 25, placing them just outside of the national rankings.
• With a win over USF to open up their season, the Eagles will take on Portland (receiving votes) tomorrow night before the Zips come to town on Saturday.
• After starting the 2013 season with an 0-5-1 mark, the Eagles finished at 8-7-2, winning their fourth straight Atlantic Sun Conference regular season title.
• FGCU will return all 11 starters from one year ago as they did not graduate a single player last season.
• Player to watch: Aaron Guillen - after being named to the A-Sun All-Conference Second Team following his sophomore campaign in which he played in all 16 of his team's games, the junior defender comes in picked as the Pre-Season Co-Player of the Year in the A-Sun Conference.
Florida Gulf Coast Series Notes
• The Zips and Eagles have only met up once before, as FGCU traveled to Akron in 2012 where the Zips won by the score of 4-0.
Looking Ahead
• The University of Akron Tournament takes place next weekend, Sept. 12-14, when the Zips will play host to UCF and Hartford in their first two home matches of the 2014 season.
• That weekend will also accommodate the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Akron men's soccer program. For more information about the series of events and to sign up to take part in the celebration, please visit the event page here.
