EDMOND, Okla. (12-5-11) – For the first time since joining the Sooner Athletic Conference, the Northwestern Oklahoma State University women's basketball team has pulled off the season sweep of Oklahoma Christian.
The second installment of the season came on the road on Monday evening. Northwestern put together a second half comeback to top the Lady Rangers, 79-76. Northwestern defeated Oklahoma Christian in Alva on Nov. 21, 89-69.
Stephanie Shaw's team improves their season record to 5-4, evening their conference record 2-2. They now have several weeks off before returning to action at home on Dec. 31 in a conference match up with Mid-America Christian. Tip-off for the conference doubleheader is set for 3 p.m. inside Percefull Fieldhouse.
Not only was the contest a historic night from a team standpoint, senior guard Autumn Klugh enters the Northwestern record as her second three of the game, which put the Lady Rangers up 6-1 with 17:30 to go in the first, giving her the career record for three-point baskets.
Klugh passed the 181 career three-point mark set by Stephani Bontrager (1989-93). A native of Fort Cobb, Okla., Klugh hit three baskets from long range, finishing with 11 points.
As a team on Monday, the Lady Rangers knocked down nine three-point baskets.
After the Lady Rangers early first half lead, the Lady Eagles fought back for a lead of their own. When the two teams entered the locker room at the break, the scoreboard was tilted in favor of the home team, 37-31.
Quickly in the second stanza, Oklahoma Christian senior Katy Clift stepped up from the left wing for a three-pointer, giving the Lady Eagles a nine point lead. However, the Lady Rangers answered with a big run mid-way through the second.
Talytha Williams kicked off a Lady Ranger 11-0 that put them ahead of Oklahoma Christian by four.
Northwestern's second half comeback was highlighted by the play of Renee Golliday and Audrey Richmond. Golliday led the Lady Rangers with 19, while Richmond finished with her average of 16.
Golliday and Klugh both distributed the ball well in the contest, passing out four assists each, helping Northwestern to a total of 19.
Down the stretch, the free throw shooting came through for Northwestern. With 15 seconds remaining in the game, and the Lady Rangers up just one point, Golliday went to the line and converted a pair of shots from the charity stripe to seal the game.
One of the staples during the early part of the Northwestern schedule is the pressure defense they put on their opponents. Monday evening in Edmond was no different, recording 13 take-aways, forcing the Lady Eagles to turn the ball over 32 times.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.


text: English as an International Language (EIL) is being debated quite a lot at the moment. The idea sounds fine to me in many ways- most interactions in English nowadays are between non-native speakers, so we should focus on international communication rather than solely attempting to teach learners to strive towards native speaker competence. The idea of familiarising students with the Englishes used by people from other nations and cultures makes sense as that is what most will have to do when they use their English in their lives.

VOTD: What If Daniel LaRusso Is the Real Bully in 'The Karate Kid'?
Posted on Monday, August 24th, 2015 by Ethan Anderton
In the fourth season of How I Met Your Mother, it's revealed that all-around ladies man and bro Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) has a completely different view of the 80s classic The Karate Kid than most people. In Barney's eyes, the good guy is teenage Cobra Kai student Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka, and he's defeated by the "scrawny loser from New Jersey who barely even knows karate."
While this is an amusing bit that shows you how skewed Barney's perspective is on a variety of things, a new video attempts to illustrate that The Karate Kid bully may really be Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), as he is reponsible for instigating a lot of the conflict and tensions that exists between the two characters in the movie.

A little about me. I will be "50" in December. I know a lot of women on the site are between early twenties and early forties..and are much younger than me...some have recently had their babies... So it makes perfect sense to do a TT and stuff for them.
You might ask.."Sheesh...you are nearly 50 already--why do it now?" I have always been a single parent, so when I was a new mother...just putting "food on the table" was they daily goal. THAT in itself might have added to being overweight...all the fast food is cheap...but very poor quality in nutrition. So now with my daughter grown, and pretty much on her own...I figure NOW is the time for me. :0)
I have had a pervious cosmetic surgery when I was 38. It was a kind of unique surgery .... but as a result...I pretty much still look 38 years old. I feel great with lots of energy, and in fact most people are just blown away by how much energy I have. I feel young, and I feel like I have an "old body". my boobs aren't quite at my knees, (but give it time-lol!) but I have a well rounded tummy that you only acquire with age.... These past two years I have been working on losing weight. At my highest, I weighed 235lbs. I have been "sitting" at 200 lbs for about six month. I have been learning to eat a lot better and increasing my nutrition knowledge base these past two years. What I have realized that now I have to boost all the knowledge with some physical activity. I think that's why I am stuck at 200 lbs. So my journey beings. I am anticipating getting down to 160 lbs. by late October. I am self employed, so in addition to the costs of the actual surgery (no insurance coverage for it, since it is elective surgery)-- I have to save money to support myself for three months. I expect to take off November and December from work. What prompted my MM idea is that, as a few women on the site have done too, is that I need a FOOT /Bunion surgery. So I figure if I have to go into surgery--then I might as well "toss in my MM too" while I am out and can't walk on my foot for 8 weeks. It seems from a lot of stuff that I have been reading from everyone's very helpful updates is that there is a lot of recovery that takes place between "week #3 and week#4"-- so I am hoping that by early December, maybe I can work part time, to help the finances out, so I won't be totally broke!
I have done some fillers and Botox --and I have done my lips a few times with filler...and for sure...right at day 2 or 3---I find myself staring in the mirror thinking "what made me think this was a good idea-when my lips look like goldfish lips!" I really enjoyed the "cartoon of the phases (of a MM) that start with Winnie the Pooh" that is on this site...I am currently at about the fourth photo...the baby throwing cash out the window! That was pretty funny.
I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area-- and just starting my research on PS...if anyone has some experience they can toss my way, good or bad--it would be much appreciated.
Although I anticipate having my surgery at the end of October...I am very excited that I have decided to have it done. I am excited. Stay tune for updates along the way.
Good luck to all the ladies that are having surgeries this week.

Thanks to the person who ran a red light and hit me, I've got three herniated discs and so I take calcium, magnesium, B-complex, Glucosamine and some Omega-3 for good measure.
Daily multi-vitamin for general health, as I don't always eat a balanced diet. Extra C since I was a teen, as my doctor was a firm believer in anti-oxidants even before they were called that. And extra calcium, as everyone over 40 should take some as we drink less milk and absorb less calcium as we get older. (I also may or may not take vitamin D and fish oil (omega-3) supplements as part of a Harvard study.)

text: waz June 11, 2010 12:22 PM As I've said before: it's pretty weak stuff from Yamaha to skip the next 2 races. As the premier team surely they can manage a bit more than just fulfilling their minimum obligation to come back in three races' time? The rookie rule is really murky. By definition, just about everyone who could replace Rossi from outside the current MotoGP grid IS a rookie. Test riders included. So technically they wouldn't be allowed to ride his bike. It's all a question as to whether a replacement rider would be regarded as 'contracted' to the factory team, and whether it has to be for the whole season. I think there's enough ambiguity/latitude in the rules to let Spies ride it. Reply Report abuse 10 agree 0 disagree

Home > Poe in Fiction (part the second)
In my first post about Edgar Allan Poe in Fiction I covered a comic and graphic novel . Today, the topic is two short stories by masters in the genre.
In 'The Exiles' from Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man , the year is 2120 and Poe lives on Mars with Ambrose Bierce, Shakespeare, Dickens, Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, Bram Stoker and all of their creations. Back on Earth, their works had been condemned as flights of fancy and were not to be tolerated. They were systematically destroyed by the rationalist governments of the world. Some copies were kept as mementos of a less enlightened time and it was the life in those books that kept the authors alive.
Now, men were coming to Mars–no doubt to destroy the planet just as they'd destroyed Earth–and Poe is having none of it. He rouses the others to invent the most terrifying creations to frighten the humans off. They've taken everything else, they shan't have the final place they call home.
The descriptions are fantastic (in both senses of the word) and atmosphere is expertly rendered. The idea of gifted writers being able to create terrors out of thin air to do their bidding is a wonderful image and having multiple characters from famous authors participate (the witches from Macbeth, yes!) was brilliant. 10/10
A quote I particularly enjoyed: 'Twenty nights I was stabbed, butchered, a screaming bat pinned to a surgical mat, a thing rotting underground in a black box; bad, wicked dreams. Our whole crew dreamed of witch-things and were-things, vampires and phantoms, things they couldn't know anything about. Why? Because books on such ghastly subjects were destroyed a century ago. By law. Forbidden for anyone for own the grisly volumes.' More quotes here .
'Poe Posthumous' the first story in Joyce Carol Oates' Wild Nights: Stories about the last days of Poe, Dickinson, Twain, James and Hemingway, envisioned the final days Poe spent after escaping Baltimore to be a Lighthouse keeper and experience true solitude. I was expecting an attempt at filling in the blanks surrounding Poe's actual death, which was quite mysterious , and, though it didn't include the facts of the man's death, Oates made his fictional death into something of which Lovecraft would have been proud. There were traces of Poe's stories–the beloved pet that … doesn't end well… madness, a journal, a startling revelation. 9/10
A quote: I am perfectly at ease with aloneness . As Pascal observed in the 139th Pensee: …all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
This Diary shall record whether such a 'truth' is universal, or applies merely to the weak.
More quotes can be found under ' W ' for Wild Nights.
If you're looking for something less horror and more historical fiction regarding Poe's death, I highly recommend Matthew Pearl's The Poe Shadow .

Confirmed 2 dead outs yesterday. There was plenty of honey. I'll investigate more when I take the hives apart but I have a feeling it is due to keeping my SBBs open. This is the last time I will do that. 2 years ago I lost my only two hives keeping the SBBs open. Last year, closed them up, 100% success, this year, 2 down. Not sure about my out yard. I need to check them out yet. They are all solid bottoms there.
I dont use one any more, they put hives a a disadvantage from what I seen, the only good to them is in the spring time to keep bearding down but I found out with good top ventilation plus a slated rack will do that also, I have gone to a (what I would call a pollinators entrance) 2 opening bottom board, it only has a 1 1/4" opening on both sides but in different corners and with ventilated tops keeps bearding down to a minimum, my screen bottoms are stack, people say they are good for mites to drop out of reach of bee's and not climb back into the hive, sounds good but my lives fine without them and my hives build up faster in spring with out SBB's! they seem to eat less in winter, I just don't use them any more! closing up in winter I would say is best for a hive, helps retain heat and no cold drafts.
I may have to take them down and put them in Tracy's backyard this summer :-D.
it was my strongest and most productive hive for splits. This was the hive I wanted suggestions on and got no replys to speak of. Should have moved it into a nuc.
3 out of six dead . they were all flying 21/2 weeks ago before our snow and ice and below zero weather, hoping for an early spring

Caracas: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's scheduled swearing-in for his new term on Jan. 10 will be put off if his health condition does not allow it, Vice President Nicolas Maduro said Friday.
Chavez can take the oath of office at a later date and "the formality of his swearing-in can be resolved in the Supreme Court," Maduro said in an interview with state TV.
He argued that the constitution gives the flexibility for rearranging the swearing-in ceremony.
A Venezuelan official said on Thursday that Chavez, who had a fourth round of cancer surgery in Cuba on Dec. 11, was still suffering from a "severe" lung infection that had caused breathing difficulties.
Since June 2011, Chavez has been fighting an undisclosed type of pelvic cancer, which has sparked shifting rumors.
According to the Venezuelan Constitution, an early presidential election will be called within 30 days should Chavez be unable to return to power.

SLIDESHOW: Highline Schools Foundation Gold Star Awards BASH honors outstanding teachers, volunteers, alumni, staff of Highline Schools
The Highline Schools Foundation presented the second annual Gold Star Awards BASH, a red-carpet style event with the five Gold Star Award winners at the Production Shop in Burien Thursday night, March 21. The event was emceed by Rep. Dave Upthegrove of the 33rd legislative district. Ashley Fosberg, Executive Director at Highline Schools Foundation, also hosted, and helped organize the evening.
There were 10 Outstanding Administrator Nominees and Chris Larsen, Principal, Seahurst Elementary School, won.
There were 19 Outstanding Classified or Professional Support Staff Nominees, and Sheri Sutliff, Chinook Middle School, won.
Of some 32 Outstanding Teacher Nominees, the popular Lana Baroudi, Bow Lake Elementary School, took that honor.
Among seven Outstanding Volunteer Nominees, Sheri Healy of Mount Rainier High School, Pacific Middle School, and Marvista Elementary School won. Her husband, Dean, accepted the award.
Dan Satterberg, King County Prosecuting Attorney and a product of Highline Schools. received the Highline Alumnus award.
Said Satterberg, "I am a proud product of the Highline School. I remember every school teacher I ever had. I'm in awe at everything you do. I know the kids are challenging but every day you make a difference in our community. I person who drops out of high school is five times more likely to go to prison than a person who graduates from high school. That high school degree is such a protective blanket for that individual and for the community, so what you are doing is crime prevention and allowing me to have a little more time with my band."
His rock band is the "Approximations."
Prior to the awards, the audience was treated to a take-off of the Match Game TV show hosted by DJ Taj Franke. He sensed the audience getting nervous and assured them this was "Match Game, not "The Dating Game" which earned him some laughs, and sighs of relief.
The three "celebrity" contestants, including Highline Schools Superintendent, Dr. Susan Enfield, Sylvester Middle School Principal Vicki Fisher, and Highline Schools Foundation Trustee Anthony O'Neil had to fill a word in a sentence in an attempt to match an answer by two contestants, who were teachers, Jamie Soule, Mar Vista 3rd grade, and Kristi Fowler, 7th grade language arts teacher at Cascade.
The evening closed when raffle winner, and nominee, Stacie Grage, Support Staffer at North Hill and Seahurst elementary schools won a ticket anywhere United Airlines flies in America or Mexico. She told the Highline Times she would be heading off to Hawaii.

Washington • The Internal Revenue Service says it paid whistleblowers a total of $53 million last year for turning in tax cheats.
In an annual report to Congress, the agency said Friday it paid out 122 awards. That's an average award of nearly $435,000.
The tips led the IRS to collect more than $367 million in taxes, interest and penalties.
In general, whistleblowers can claim awards if they provide information that helps the IRS collect more than $2 million in taxes, penalties and interest. But it can take years to collect awards.
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa helped write the whistleblower law. Grassley applauded the payouts but said he worries the slow pace will discourage whistleblowers.

When the girls' football team at her school is cancelled, soccer-mad Viola (Bynes) takes the place of her twin brother Sebastian at his new prep school in order to join the boys' team. But a hasty male makeover can't disguise the fact that she soon finds herself attracted to her new room-mate, Duke (Channing Tatum). To complicate matters further, the girl that Duke has a crush on becomes interested in "Sebastian". It may not be caustically witty, intellectual or worthy, butShe's the Man is a decent enough romp that has plenty of fun with the genders. Most of all, Bynes is a gem to watch in a teen comedy that is actually good, clean entertainment. Mission: Impossible - 9pm, Film4 Superstar Tom Cruise and director Brian De Palma join forces for this thrilling extravaganza of jaw-dropping special effects and amazing stunts. Based on the cult 1960s TV series about a covert strike force designing situations villains believe to be real, it's best to forget the complicated plot - something about Cruise clearing his name and proving to the CIA he's not a treacherous mole - and simply enjoy the epic rollercoaster ride that De Palma brings to life with his customary brilliance. The burglary of a guarded vault and the Channel Tunnel helicopter pursuit alone put other high-action thrillers in intensive care. The Crucible - 11:10pm, Movie Mix Arthur Miller's emotionally raw play about suspected witchcraft in 17th-century Massachusetts - the author and screenwriter's veiled attack on the McCarthy-inspired communist witch-hunts of the 1950s - is here brilliantly brought to the screen by director Nicholas Hytner (The Madness of King George). Daniel Day-Lewis is characteristically intense as the married man caught in the middle, but the real fireworks come from Winona Ryder, as the wicked young girl whose manipulative behaviour is the story's catalyst, and Paul Scofield, who is a commanding presence as the trial's judge. Hytner maintains a believable period flavour throughout and successfully evokes the stifling atmosphere of fear and suspicion in Salem - the film's final third, as reputations are ruined and scapegoats are sought, is absolutely electrifying.

Ever since I gave myself a Brazilian smile while missing all four follicles of my lanugo-ish preteen moustache, I have eschewed the grand pomp of the straight razor. Why risk a sink full of ears and a mirror drenched in arterial spray when the Gillette Fusion is the greatest shaving instrument ever created by man? But this $30,000 straight razor is still a lusty instrument: dubbed the Damascene, the steel has been folded 128 times in the same arcane fashion used to forge Escalibur, as described by Sir Thomas Mallory in La Morte D'Arthur.
The Damascene: $30,000 worth of straight razor

Sweeney Todd would have a field day with that one.
…And if you go to Avalon, the Lady of the Lake will stick an arm up out of the water and actually shave you while you wait!
I just wanted to say I take issue with your assessment of the Gillette Fusion… I am also afraid of straight razors, but the shave I get from a Merkur double edge safety razor, some old fashioned shaving cream and a badger hair brush is far superior to any I ever got from a multi-bladed disposable razor, including the Fusion, and on top of that, blades are usually only about $.20 each.
You don't use a blade like this on yourself, mister, oh no.
if it isn't nanotubular I refuse to be impressed
HEY, thanks for spoiling the end of La Morte D'Arthur! What a disgraceful end for such an illustrious character.
You shall drip rubies,
You'll soon drip precious…
I second Diluted. I also use a Merkur double edged safety razor, and I've been extremely impressed with it over the past year and a half. Blades are insanely cheap, and the closeness of the shave is incredible. It's turned shaving from a daily chore to a daily indulgence, with the old fashioned shaving soap and badger hair brush.
Give it a shot.
Besides the traditional confusion between damascus steel and pattern welding, the rose pattern's not optimal for producing an exemplary razor anyway.
Haunt the local junk stores until you find a 150 year old soligen blued-steel straight-razor with bone handles for a dollar. They turn up reasonably often when Grandpa's stuff gets cleared out of the attic.
I plan to use this $30,000 razor to re-enact the relevant scene from Reservoir Dogs. Big deal, you say, but what will really make it impressive is the extremely danceable rendition of "Stuck In The Middle With You" coming through my $8,000 speaker wire.
I didn't know that many people use Merkur razors. I do too. Get an old Gilette with an adjustable distance between blade and thingy.
Ok, I just bit on a Merkur razor. Mostly because I'm sick of paying $30 for a new set of cartridges that last me a month.
don't believe the Merkur hype. i don't believe these folks have actually tried the micro-pulsing Gillette Fusion razor. i've tried them all, and nothing beats the Fusion. if you want an indulgent shave, go to a professional. otherwise you're just fooling yerself.
I have eschewed the grand pomp of the straight razor. Why risk a sink full of ears and a mirror drenched in arterial spray when the Gillette Fusion is the greatest shaving instrument ever created by man?
According to the same person too fumble-thumbed to use chopsticks.
As for the Merkur, it was on Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools:
Even before Gillette announced its over-the-top Mach 5 blade, I made the switch from my Gillette Mach 3 shaving razor (using a standard from-a-can shaving cream) to this "classic" safety razor (with a badger hair brush and good shaving soap) and am amazed at the difference. I switched after years of razor burn and irritation, and after reading an article and visiting a website devoted to classic shaving. This Merkur razor hefts nicely in your hand, and delivers an amazingly close shave without irritation. I believe the safety razor causes less irritation than the Mach 3, because of the quality of the safety razor blade itself. I think that the marketing strategy of the Mach 3 is to dazzle the user with 3 blades, implying that three blades is three times as effective as one blade.
I don't doubt that a Merkur is better than a disposable razor, but a lot of the difference might be the shaving soap. I use a disposable razor on the rare occasions that I shave; usually I sport a 3/4″ beard. But I use Neutrogena shaving cream which is miles beyond anything else I've tried. I used to get razor burn and irritation pretty badly (especially since long-unshaven skin is very sensitive) but now don't get any.
I'm seriously considering a Merkur if/when I do go clean shaven again.
I bought a straight razor a number of years ago after getting sick of paying for blades. Still works, only ever cut myself very slightly twice, neither worse than any nick I've ever gotten with a "safety" razor. Only thing I buy now is more goats-milk soap. I'll never go back.
The steel hasn't been folded 128 times. It has been folded 7 times to create 128 layers. I seem to remember from some show on educational TV that the steel in a Samurai sword is folded 16 times.
Though i'm not actually that interested in this absurdly overpriced shaving implement.
I'm with #16 Ernunnos on straight razors, bought one years and years ago as a student who couldn't afford blades for my gillette and was insulted by wasteful cheap disposables.
I also have only ever cut myself two or three times and not only was it no worse than a modern safety razor it was better, as in, it was a very fine little cut not a scrape off of my top layers of skin, it stopped bleeding almost instantly and barely stung at all.
I highly recommend them. though shaving under the chin gets your heart going the first few times.
I own four straight razors and a collection of antique Dual Edge and Gem safety razors.
I say without fear of contradiction that the straights give the best shave. There are a number of reasons for it, but one of the most pertinent is the sound. Shaving with a straight razor gives a much superior audible feedback, you can tell how well your blade is cutting and how many (short) passes to make. Also shaving around my Van Dike is easy.
Straight razors are not for everyone. To use the stones and the strop takes considerable practice. Also you are using a piece of metal that is only one crystal thick at the cutting edge. It is very delicate and smacking the blade on the tap will take you an hour or two to fix. However, a good Straight Razor lasts a lifetime, with proper care and feeding.
But each to their own. I'm sure Gillette (who makes tens of millions of dollars a year) knows much more about shaving than I do.
Fourth (Fifth? Sixth? I think I lost count) on a DE… Merkur Vision w/ Personna blades… But I echo the sentiments that using decent shave soap is way more important than which sharp thing you're actually hacking away at your face with… While not as pleasant, I can get a good solid shave from my girlfriend's Venus or whatever it is, so long as I'm not using aerosol junk…
# 17 is correct. 7 folds will yield 128 layers. 128 folds will yield
approximately 17,141,180,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 layers.
It reminds me of the old riddle: Would you rather I give you a million dollars or a penny today, two pennies tomorrow, four pennies the next day and so on for a month? If you take option 2 you'll be happy you did. Especially if it's January.
I agree with Diluted. I've replaced aerosol cans and disposable razors with a Merkur double edge razor, a good shaving soap and a pure badger shaving brush. Three simple elements that are not only able to give me a better shave, but that put together create a moment to unwind and do something for myself that I can enjoy and feel good about.

vncserver can be run with no options at all. In this case it will choose the first available display number (usually :1), start Xvnc as that display, and run a couple of basic applications to get you started. You can also specify the display number, in which case it will use that number if it is available and exit if not, eg:
Editing the file $HOME/.vnc/xstartup allows you to change the applications run at startup (but note that this will not affect an existing desktop).
VNC was originally developed by the RealVNC team while at Olivetti Research Ltd / AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. It is now being maintained by RealVNC Ltd. See http://www.realvnc.com for details.

I am looking for the same thing. I found a hosting website which uses Wordpres as platform. But the integration is done with WHMCS .
I am sorry for posting this but it would be great an Wordpress plugin which will be able to integrate any template with whmcs.
I tried for wheaks to do a good integration between them, but i failed each time.
Unfortunately, so far i didnt find any plugin capable to take care of hosting as the standalone scripts. (whmcs, clientex)

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:20am
Part of a busy lacrosse weekend in the greater Baltimore area, I headed over to St. Paul's School for a few hours on Saturday afternoon to catch the All-Star games at the Baltimore Summer Kickoff.
I've been going to this event since its inception and it's a 'showcase style' (no playoff) recruiting stop that seems to bring in more and more talent every year. The staff at High Point - Jon Torpey, Pat Tracy and Michael Phipps - all run the event and do a terrific job. Established club organizations like CT Chargers, 3D New England, Blackwolf, Roughriders, MadLax, Titanium and Team Central were all present for Session 2 this year.
Some of the college coaches spotted were UNC's Pat Myers, Hopkins' Dave Pietramala, Virginia's Marc Van Arsdale, Denver's Bill Tierney, Harvard's Chris Wojcik and Loyola's Charley Toomey. I'd say at least 75 coaches (from Divison I, II and III) camped out on the sidelines for the two All-Star Games.
One All-Star Game was for mostly uncommitted 2014's and the other combined 2015's and 2016's. I changed it up and didn't really keep stats on Saturday (for the most part) so with that said here are 12 players who impressed.
Also, if you have a confirmed verbal - if you're the recruit, parent or club/HS coach - email firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com to have your Division I verbal posted. Please include the events you've been to this summer or plan on attending, club teams, stats/honors and schools strongly considered. Feel free to include anything else (highlight reels, height/weight, other sports honors, etc.) you may deem important.
Note: ASG rosters didn't provide high schools of players, just club teams.
James Riley '14, D, MN Elite Gold - The Duke pledge blanketed his man effectively, playing a cerebral and fundamental kind of defense with a mix of footwork, stick skills and IQ. Has all of the tools to be an elite cover defender at the ACC level.
Larsen Bidstrup '15, A, 3D New England - Though he missed on a good scoring opportunity or two, Bidstrup still proved to be a nifty player on a very talented White team attack unit. Great hands and a pretty smart dodger but needs to work on his foot speed a little bit. Very good prospect.
Zack Kissick '16, M, Iron Horse - The Texas native showed a strong burst of speed when dodging from up top, often using a head fake to create separation from a shortstick. Also seemed to take smart shots, a great quality in a free-wheeling All-Star Game environment.
Nate Williams '15, D, Blackwolf - Though maybe a little undersized, Williams seemed very confident causing turnovers and pushing the ball upfield. Nice defensive prospect out of the St. John's (D.C.) program.
Connor Yepsen '14, M, MN Elite Gold - Yepsen had an excellent outing, tallying a handful of goals thanks to a rapid release but also thriving at the face-off X. He's a fearless player who dodged with his head up. If I'm not mistaken, he scored a key goal to tie the game late. His brother Carter and fellow teammate Ronnie Spielman (the son of the Minnesota Vikings' GM, I'm told) also definitely impressed.
John Aversa '14, A, Blackwolf - I really loved Aversa's ability in close. On one goal, he had a nasty fake to catch his defenseman off guard and then finished easily on the doorstep. The type of player that stands out instantly with his craftiness.
Christopher Gorman '14, G, Team Central Red - Using unique technique in the cage, the lefty did a really good job attacking the ball and making stops by intimidating shooters. Threw a handful of beautiful outlet passes as well.
Bryce Young '14, D, South Shore - Guarding Loyola verbal Jay Drapeau at times, Young played excellent position D and took advantage of his large frame, quick feet and ability to push the ball upfield. I hadn't seen him play much in the past but after last night I can definitely see why John Tillman and the Terps scooped him up last July.
Cole Williams '16, A, Looney's - A tall drink of water at least 6-foot-4, Williams showcased an excellent low-to-high shot and moves his feet incredibly well around the cage. Uses both hands well and gets teammates involved. Teammate Alex Roesner, an early Penn verbal, also had a highlight reel in the young guns' All-Star Game.
Timmy Monahan '15, A, Blackwolf - Watched the Gonzaga (D.C.) rising junior extensively earlier in the afternoon and Monahan caught my eye. He's still developing as a dodger but makes good overall decisions and can attack from multiple angles in flashes. Had a nice goal in the All-Star Game.
Ryan Conrad '15, M, Looney's - Anointed the No. 1 player in his class, Conrad showed the ability to run the field, dodge a longpole with ease and even took a face-off here and there. While he's still working on bringing it on every play, the Virginia commit has a never-ending upside and uses a strong lacrosse IQ.
Will Murphy '15, D, Laxachusetts - He doesn't jump off the page at first but after watching him for a few plays you see why he's a steady defender. Didn't allow his man top side and had pretty good agility.

FORT WORTH, Texas – The Northern Arizona soccer team (1-6-2), fresh off their first win of the season, heads to the state of Texas for the first two of four consecutive road matches. The Lumberjacks, currently on a three-game unbeaten streak, will take on TCU (5-4-0) in Fort Worth at 5 p.m. on Friday before heading off to Lubbock to battle Texas Tech (5-3-1) on Sunday at 11 a.m.
"It's a good road trip for us in the sense that we're playing two quality opponents," said head coach Andre Luciano. "It's a good weekend for us to continue growing as a program and creating positives."
Last Saturday, the Lumberjacks defeated Embry-Riddle, 3-1, courtesy of three first half goals by seniors Chelsea Bednarz and Sam Monahan and sophomore Elinor Priest. The goals were the first of the season for Bednarz and Priest, while Monahan's was her team-leading fourth of the season, putting her in a tie for fourth in the Big Sky. Sophomore Lauren Weaver gained her first win in goal in exactly a year, making four saves in the process.
The Horned Frogs of TCU split its two matches last weekend, suffering a narrow 3-2 loss to Stephen F. Austin on the road before returning home to shut out Northwestern State, 1-0. They have four shutouts on the season, but have also been shut out on three occasions. Senior Jordan Calhoun has three goals scored this season, all game-winners in 1-0 matches, and is the school's all-time leader in career points. The Horned Frogs have also received contributions from two freshmen, Tori Hale, the team's leader in shots, and Alicen Wright in goal, who has allowed just eight goals in nine games.
"TCU will be a very athletic team with some dangerous players," Luciano said. "Jordan Calhoun is their all-time points leader and is a dangerous threat, and Hale is a quick, dynamic player up top as well. TCU's philosophy is to keep numbers behind the ball and keep the ball in front of them, so it will be a spirited battle."
Texas Tech returns home after spending last weekend in the state of Arizona at the Cats Classic in Tucson. They defeated Arizona State, 5-0, and picked up a tie against the host Arizona, 0-0. Like TCU, the Red Raiders have played in a lot of shutouts this season, with eight of its nine games resulting in a shutout. They have received balanced scoring this season with 10 different players combining for the team's 13 goals. Senior Madison Terry and juniors Tiffini Smith and Dawn Ward each have two goals. Again like the Horned Frogs, sophomore Victoria Esson has provided the Red Raiders with strong play in goal, allowing just six goals for a 0.77 goals against average with four shutouts.
"Tech has a big game against Missouri on Friday and we know they're going to come guns blazing against us and we have to be prepared for that," Luciano said. "The most important thing for us is to establish a rhythm, which we've been working on this week. We want to get back to keeping the ball a little longer on possession and if both teams stay organized defensively, it'll come down to who capitalizes on their opportunities."
The Lumberjacks have met the Horned Frogs just once before, a 1-0 TCU victory in 2008 in Flagstaff, while this will be the first all-time meeting between NAU and Texas Tech.
Friday's game against TCU will be broadcast nationally on The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network on Channel 616.

This may come as a shock to some of you, (if your idea of shock is being completely aware of something and not surprised at all) but in my youth before I came to Japan, I had a great love for what I considered to be "all things Japanese", which was pretty much kanji, Final Fantasy, anime, geisha and Tokyo street fashion. I was what they call a full blown Japanophile — in love with the happy and colourful fantasy land Japan represented to me, so much more exotic and inviting than my boring North American life. In my first year of university I heard about the JET program and I was ecstatic. What!? I thought. There's a way I can actually live in this paradise?? I was determined to be on the first thing smoking to Japan as soon as I had the required degree in my hand.
But that didn't happen. Student loans intervened and I got an office job. As I got older my idealized view of Japan focused to something more realistic, and it would be three more years before I finally decided to move to Tokyo, but for very different reasons than I first intended. With age came wisdom and I knew that if I built Japan up into some kind of impossible wonderland it could only disappoint me. So I researched, reading blogs about other people who were already out here, and came here with what I feel was a balanced view of this unique country.
However there was one perception of Japan that never left, and after over a year and a half here it's actually strengthened: This place is quirky. I mean, there is some stuff going on here that just makes me scratch my head like…"huh?" Some of it is charming, and brings up those old feelings of Japanophileness, but some of it is just like whoa…what? OK, no…no! You know? Let me give you some examples.
Delightful — Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Videos
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is something like the Lady Gaga of Japan, if your brain can even comprehend such craziness. Take Lady Gaga, make her a Japanese teenager and double her wackiness and you have Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Her videos are cute, creative, colourful, surreal and always have some talented dancers.
Disturbing — AKB48 Videos
AKB48 is unfortunately Japan's latest pop sensation. They are a bunch of young girls — 48 of them I would say if I had to guess, which I do — though only a few appear over and over again to represent the group. Their fan base is primarily preteens and old men. Their most popular video is centred around the ground-breaking theme of spying on a group of girls at slumber party, beginning with watching one as she undresses. The video features lingerie, allusions to porn and orgies, and them doing their own craptacular dances. My adorable little 9 year old students sing along to this video and know all the dance moves. I shudder at the thought that 9 year old girls in Japan look up to this.
Delightful: Hilarious Pranks on TV
The creativity and/or cruelty that go into Japanese pranks make for some of the most hilarious viewing in the world, and they're the only thing on Japanese TV that I can understand like. Something about watching people scream and run in fear from one of those creepy Japanese women ghosts – you know like the one from The Ring – sets me off.
But the Japanese get crazy with it!
Watch this prank at a ski resort where guys think they're in for a relaxing naked sit-down in a comfy chair, only to have the chair flip up and dump them through the wall, outside in the snow…naked. How cruel. How unusual. How hilarious.
Disturbing: No Foreigners Allowed
The lack of sensitivity in the above situation also has a dark (darker?) side. It causes Japan, in general, to lag behind in the political-correctness parade, and because of that there are various "no foreigner" establishments sprinkled throughout the country. I haven't encountered this issue yet, but it's frustrating to know there are hot springs or bars or anything else where I can't go, simply because I'm foreign, and not many will have your back if you try to fight it. It's eerily reminiscent of the "whites only" bathrooms or restaurants or whatever else that existed in the West not so long ago.
Delightful: Perfect Train Service
This is not just some stereotype floating around. The trains here are on time down to the minute. And everyone is so spoiled by the excellent train service that if the train is even 1 minute late we're tapping our feet and rolling our eyes while we look at the time on our cell phones, the profuse apologies coming from the loud speakers doing nothing to appease us. You can, and I have, set your watch by the trains.
Disturbing: Decoy Porn Newspapers on the train
Every now and then as I'm riding my perfectly on-time train I see a man reading a newspaper and I think, "What an upstanding citizen, catching up on current events." I might even be nosy and casually turn my head to the side, to see what he's reading, (never mind that I can barely read Japanese). But sometimes I sincerely wish I had minded my own damn business.
Waaaaitaminute…this is not a regular newspaper aaarrrgh!!
Scattered throughout the unintelligible (to me anyway) Kanji are ads with women, limbs akimbo and as naked as the day they auditioned to be porn stars. Why, my dear man, would you want to read such literature on a crowded train? So you can get a hard-on and everyone can see you're a perv? Actually, that's probably exactly why.
So you see? Something about this place is just…special. Sometimes it's SPECIAL! And sometimes it's "special", if yuhknowwhatimean. But take it or leave it, Japan will probably always be one of the most head-scratchingly quirky places on the planet.

Emergency Locator Transmitters
I have in the past been involved in looking for missing aircraft. Often, when a crash occured, it would set off an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) on VHF freqency 121.5, UHF 243 and later 406. Now, twenty+ years later, I am taking up sailing and see things like EPIRB''s and PLB''s and see that they are transmitting to the same series of satellites on the same frequencies. These are great for finding lost aircraft using direction finding equipment but I had to be trained and had to practice occasionally to keep my skills sharp. Is there anybody here who has the equipment for practice on the practice freq of 121.6? Is there anyone here who thinks this would be a good thing to get together and practice? I am positive we could con the coast guard into helping out.

Brian Lehrer's UN-Predictions
New York, NY —ANCHOR: In these last few days before new year's, many commentators make predictions of things they expect to see in the new year. but wnyc's brian lehrer has an ANTI-prediction: something he's not SURE whether to expect in 2002.
BRIAN: I'm not sure whether to expect the following headline:
Bush to city: drop dead.
Anyone in new york during the 1970's fiscal crisis remembers the classic daily news headline: FORD to city: drop dead.
In 2002 we'll find out if president bush will keep the promise he made to the city just after september eleventh: 20-billion dollars in federal aid to rebuild new york.
Before adjourning for the year, congress approved barely half that much - most of it earmarked only for the cleanup of ground zero. But what would have been so bad about giving the full 20-billion to the city without delay? Or letting new yorkers decide how to spend it?
The president still promises that the city will get the entire 20-billion eventually. But not everyone is so sure.
(TAPE: marie coco q&a here, on the uncertainty of full funding, on bush not caring about a "drop dead" headline, and about how every need will be scrutinized)
BRIAN: newsday washington columnist marie coco. she has no doubt the city does need the money. she quotes this comparison originally made by governor pataki.
(TAPE: by now, we've lost the equiv. of every job in the city of atlanta)
BRIAN: but this is new york, politically irrelevent to president bush, and we're having it. so here's ANOTHER anti-prediction for 2002. I'm not sure if we'll see the following pataki for governor re-election photo. It's a smiling president bush presenting a big cardboard check to the governor for the balance of the 20-billion.
It would be just the triumphant yet sober image to launch pataki into his bid for a third term. maybe even get him a few more new york city votes this time.
But the governor may actually have hurt the city's chances of getting the help it deserves by asking washington for a 54-billion dollar wish list, much of which had nothing to DO with september eleventh. Credibility matters.
Party politics matter too. so we may yet see that photo-op, especially if pataki winds up in a close race.
But in politics, promises DON'T always matter, even after the september eleventh tragedy. So for now, we'll just reserve a flexible sort of headline for sometime next year: bush to city: fill in the blank.
ANCHOR: WNYC's Brian Lehrer. You can hear his call-in program weekday mornings at 10 on am820 and 93.9fm WNYC.

Creative writing professor publishes poetry collection
Posted: April 4th, 2012
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – – Lake Superior State University creative writing professor Julie Barbour channels her experiences as a young mother into her first book of poetry, to be published June 29 by Finishing Line Press.
Come To Me and Drink explores Barbour's foray into motherhood upon the birth of her daughter.
(Download a print version of the cover art)
"After she was born, I was looking for poems about childbirth and motherhood, and had a hard time finding works that spoke to me about the reality of the experience," says Barbour. "There were plenty of books about motherhood that were humorous and witty, but I wanted poems that told it to me straight. I would find a few here and there, but not an entire book, so I decided to write that book myself."
Her insights take the form of a chapbook: a small, pocket-sized volume that's intended to be read (and reread) quickly to let Barbour's 18 lyric poems form and evolve in the reader's mind, one "verse-byte" at a time.
"I wanted to pull these poems together and give them focus," says Barbour. "It's a small book, so you can really focus on a subject and keep the reader engaged."
The poems approach the world of being a mother, from pregnancy to birth, from nursing a child to leaving a child for the first time. The poems also explore the anxiety of being a mother.
"The book is comprised of real experiences that every mother goes through when raising a child for the first time," says Barbour. "Many women don't talk about the difficulty of being a mother."
Barbour adds that motherhood's a tough job, and she wanted to explore the complexities of this experience through poetry.
"In poetry, a writer can focus on moments and share specific experiences," she says.
The poems in this chapbook — actually part of a longer series of other poems about the complexities of being part of a family — took about seven years to come together.

Early praise for Julie Barbour's Come To Me and Drink —
"Julie Brooks Barbour is a poet exposed, calling on the essentials: apples, air, earth, a tiny tugging mouth. She makes a home in the opposite ends of a blooming life and writes forward. Hers is the voice of the new mother calling herself back to swollen breasts and healed stitches. Hers -- the levitating voice of the quintessential poet capturing life moments that have been 'left to themselves.' Ms. Barbour has left us humans, in need of her noticing, the greatest of portraits: the human soul seduced by what is puzzling, fleeting, and always true." — Nikky Finney, author of Head Off & Split, winner of the 2011 National Book Award for poetry
"When I first read Julie Brooks Barbour's Come to Me and Drink, I drew back in wonder at how a woman could bring to childbirth and motherhood--its blood, its wounds, its physical transformation-- such lyric beauty. Childbirth and its aftermath are not always, or so we have been taught, the subject of poetry. And our physical response to it not always a subject that many women of my generation wished to acknowledge. I could never have written such poems in those first weeks of motherhood; I did not have the vocabulary and I did not have the courage. Ms. Barbour has given us back our own moments as new mothers, our bodily heritage as women, and our honesty as only a poet can render it. " — Kathryn Stripling Byer, NC Poet Laureate Emerita, author of Coming to Rest and Wildwood Flower
"Come To Me and Drink by Julie Brooks Barbour is a meditation on the journey a woman takes from complete immersion in early motherhood to reentering the world outside the home once the offspring has grown. With these deeply moving poems, Ms. Barbour makes us vividly experience complex changes in relationships, as well as in the internal and external world of the speaker, both in extraordinary situations and in "the challenge of every day." — Katerina Stoykova-Klemer, author of The Most

Here's a video we put together on "tactical reload".
Printable View
Here's a video we put together on "tactical reload".
I appreciate you posting the video on Tactical Reloads. Many shooters have never been trained nor experienced practicing a tactical reload. I however have a question and a comment...
Question...A "tac reload" is done after you've been in a fight, to insure that your weapon has a full magazine loaded to continue the fight if necessary...Am I correct?
I have been taught, in MY training, the acronym of F.A.S.T.... Fight...Assess...Scan...Topoff..... You've had the FIGHT...you ASSESS the situation to see if you need to fight anymore...you SCAN (I was taught a 360 scan)....then you TOPOFF (tactical reload)...
The scan I was taught was a FULL 360 scan...I notice you just did a 180...What happens if you have more FIGHT coming at you from the rear? Only doing a 180, aren't you leaving yourself open?
I also was taught, when I topoff, let the mag in the weapon fall free, while accessing the new mag and slamming home. I have small hands and it's a bit difficult to hold both mags between fingers, etc. It might be feasible for me with a single stack mag, however my EDC is a G19, double stack mag...I drop the mag while accessing the new mag, slam it home, squat while keeping my Situational Awareness working, and pick up the mag I dropped. Thoughts?
Again, thanks for posting, because ALL of us need to be reminded to practice things like this and incorporate scanning into the procedure...
You hit the nail on the head with your last statement, folks should practice these things.
Thanks for posting the vid.
In my personal opinion, a tactical reload is rarely necessary in the civilian SD setting, but it doesn't hurt to know how to do it properly.
Just like holstering your handgun, it does not need to be done at high speed. It should certainly be done efficiently, but it does not need to be like lightening. You are "topping off" AFTER you have assesed the situation to be at least relatively safe. If it isn't safe, there is absolutly NO reason to do it.
First Sgt, how about this method. Rather than dropping the partial mag on the deck, pull it from the gun with your support hand on the way back for the fresh mag. You can tuck it in a pocket or behind your belt. I have found this method almost as smooth as juggling two mags and it prevents that partial mag from impacting a hard surface or getting dirt in a mag that MAY be reused in the fight.
OP, this is just a civilian Joe off the street saying this, but if I am still scanning and looking for active threats, ain't no way I am holstering my handgun. If I have assesed the situation and have determined that it is safe to reholster, I will always "look" the gun back in. It is all well and good for the arm and hand to know how to do it, but I usually like to give them a little supervision - just to be safe.
I can see the logic behind letting the original magazine fall, but if I'm not under duress then I'd take the time to hold onto that mag and place it in my mag holster/pocket/whatever. Otherwise you'll have to look down and pick it up, ripe for a attack.
Now, if I start taking fire I might let it drop because my concern is solely on putting more bullets in my gun to engage the threat.
Thanks much for watching. I mention that the tactical reload should be done when there is a definitive lull in the fight or if you're behind cover. There is definitely a full 360 scan to ascertain that there is in fact such a lull, otherwise, you can not execute a tactical reload as you may be engaged from different angles. Again, my video presupposes a scan, but I should have been more clear. I will definitely add a comment to this effect on the video.
I really appreciate your comments. Waiting for someone to point out that I need a new camcorder (it has seen better days):)
Obviously, if you are still on red alert, you will not re-holster your handgun...this is a given. I was merely making a point. Once you have ascertained that the fight is over, I still do not see the need to look at the holster during re-holstering (I want my senses focused on my environment). Again, it's a training issue. If you do it enough, you will not have to look. The operative word is slow...as such, you can always thread the cavernous holster with your handgun. Thank you for your comment and for watching.
First Sgt., like the others, I am also in-favor of you going to a "reload with retention," especially if all you have on your person is one spare magazine - with more than one, I'd say that the retention becomes a luxury, but still, one never knows (hence "check-360"), right? :wink:
With that said, I also have smaller hands. A pair of size 8 and 1/2 surgical gloves fits me literally skin-tight.
I'm wondering exactly which portion of the tactical reload, with double-stackers, is giving you problems. For me, since I'm a newer shooter, it was a lack of understanding of the finer mechanics of the execution of the tactical reload that was actually what was causing me problems. For one, I was anticipating receiving the partially spent magazine from the pistol just a bit too much, and thus did not have a good high grip - with a lack of correspondingly deep seating of the magazine's base in my palm - in indexing the incoming full magazine. This caused the incoming magazine to bobble, which then leads to further insecurity in gripping the outgoing magazine....
Getting a full purchase on the incoming magazine, properly indexing it as with any other reload, is critical, and it literally took me a year and a half - until this summer's 6 days that I spent with Chris Costa - for me to realize this fundamental error.
Also, something else that really helped was DRM's advice to "drop the gun on the full magazine," instead of trying to raise the magazine up into the magwell.
Not sure that will help you, but it's worked for me, and I just thought that I'd pass it along. :smile:
A tactical reload can be a real life saver. I would only do it from cover, not just a lull in the fighting. Back in the revolver days we were taught "continuity of fire" Fire 2 reload 2 etc. I carried loops and speed loaders.
The only question I have is why do you press your non gun hand to your chest? I have always trained to keep it lower nearer to the gunbelt.
Thanks for posting.

The acceleration with which a body falls towards the earth is known as acceleration due to gravity.The acceleration due to gravity g near the surface of the earth is .
Let the body of mass m be at a height h from the surface of the earth.If the radius of the earth is R, then as its distance r from the center of the earth is r=(R+h), the downward force on the body is given by,
Where M is the mass of the earth. If the body happens to be very close to the surface, h=0, and the gravitational force on it is-
The acceleration generated due to this gravitational force is, therefore, given by-
The above relation is true for all planets and other heavenly bodies.
It is possible to calculate the mass of the earth using the above relation. As radius of the earth m and, putting weget,

NOTE: The above expression shows that the value of acceleration due to gravity decreases with height. It falls inversely with the square of the distance provided the distances are measured from the center of the earth.

Health Dept. to Vaccinate and Track Central Park Raccoons
New York, NY —
This week New York City becomes one of the first areas to try to reduce the threat of rabid raccoons by capturing, vaccinating, tagging and releasing them. WNYC's Fred Mogul has more.
REPORTER: The first traps were laid yesterday. The Health Department says that the raccoon population is growing unchecked in Central Park, Morningside Park and Riverside Park. More and more of the animals are believed to be rabid. So far only one person and one dog have been bitten. A task force considered various options including leaving edible vaccine around for the raccoons to eat or poisoning them to reduce the population. The experts decided to try this approach first.
The Health Department estimates there are hundreds of raccoons in Manhattan and hopes to vaccinate about two-thirds of them.

6 games.. really that's your sample size?
Marty scored the game winning goal in Tampa's first ever playoff series, coincidence out of Richards, Stamkos, Lecavalier and St.louis the team goes the furthest in the playoffs when St.louis has his biggest and 2nd biggest regular season careers highs? Coincidence that last year was St.louis off year and Tampa takes a nose dive into the standings? Or when St.louis calls out the lightning team as a whole 2 years ago and then win back to back games.
Vinny is one of my favorite players but he's definitely not the heart and soul of this team, he's taken 12 years to finally play with this passion we're seeing this season.

Man have you forgotten what Lecavalier looked like the 2 years after that 92 point season? He floated 90% of his shifts, wouldn't battle anything in the corners and was completely disinterested.
I watched St.louis go all out every season since he came to this team, he never took years off like Lecavalier and 6 games isn't really enough to change my mind. And really you're the first lightning fan I've ever seen on this forum say anyone on this team plays with more heart and soul then MSL.
