2012 Information
The Vigilante Extreme ZipRider at Shepherd of the Hills Complex
"What is it?"
An exciting new thrill ride! The ZipRider zip line cable is based on the familiar concept of the back yard zip line but then turns that fun experience into an exciting, no-worries ride. The key lies in the ZipRider trolley, a device designed to automatically brake while the rider descends cable gradients ranging from 5%-40%.
"How does it work?"
Each rider is comfortably seated in a special harness without needing multiple harness sizes or staging areas for fitting. The ride operator will open the gates at the launch site, the riders fly out the doors with no responsibilities other than to enjoy the ride. The rider will not control their speed or braking. As the rider approaches the end of the ride, the trolley enters a patented terminal brake acceptor and dampening system, which slows the ride to a stop. Once stopped, the guest walks out of the harness and away from the ride. The Vigilante ZipRider will carry guests downhill 1/2 a mile across the historic 160 acre homestead at speeds reaching 50 mph!
"Where will it launch?"
The open-air observation deck on Inspiration Tower. Built in 1989, the Tower stands 230' above one of the highest points in SW Missouri. There are 2 - 25 passenger glass elevators that carry guests to the top.
Open to all riders 75lbs to 275lbs.
Any age may ride as long as they are at least 52 inches tall but no more than 80 inches tall.
Customers will want to secure all loose articles (Shepherd of the Hills will not be responsible for lost items.)
Tennis shoe or secured shoes are recommended.(Sandals, flip flops etc will need to be taken off before riding.)
Customers will be responsible for determining their own health and if they should ride.
"Where does the name come from?"
The name pays homage to our unique heritage. The Baldknobbers were a group of vigilantes that were infamous in the Ozark Mountains in the late 1800's and play an important role in The Shepherd of the Hills story.
"Other locations?"
The Vigilante Extreme ZipRider will be the 11th ZipRider" in the world. They currently operate rides in Utah, California, Alaska, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Siberia and Switzerland.

Lesson 222
Parts of the Sentence - Verbals - Participles
A participle is used as an adjective and ends in various ways. A present participle always ends with ing as does the gerund, but remember that it is an adjective. A past participle ends with ed, n, or irregularly. Examples: played, broken, brought, sung, seeing, having seen, being seen, seen, having been seen. Participles modify nouns and pronouns and can precede or follow the word modified. (Do not confuse participles that end in ing with gerunds. Participles are used as adjectives; gerunds are used as nouns.)
A participial phrase is made up of a participle and any complements (direct objects, predicate nominatives, predicate adjectives, or modifiers) like the gerund. A participial phrase that comes at the beginning of the sentence is always followed by a comma and modifies the subject of the sentence.
Instructions: Find the participial phrases in these sentences and tell what word they modify.
1. Taking my time, I hit the basket.
2. Shouting angrily, the man chased the thief.
3. Exhausted from the hike, Jim dropped to the ground.
4. Grinning sheepishly, the boy asked for a date.
5. Trying to open the gate, I tore my coat.

You are not logged in.
There is a square array of N by N (N is finite) squares (the squares themselves are 1 by 1 ).
Each square has a positive integer (let's call it colour) assigned .
This array is tiled to infinity in any direction upon some arbitrary plane.
The edges of the arrays are aligned.
An arbitrary triangle is drawn upon this plane. It may be however large or small, near to or far from the origin of the plane's system. I need to calculate the average colour of the triangle. This means that for each and every single square that comes under the arbitrary triangle, even partially, I will add to a sum (initially 0) the square's_colour_value/area_of_the_square_that_is_inside_the_triangle. After having done this for every single square that falls inside the triangle (even partially) I will have the average colour of the triangle; which leads me to my problem. Given the fact that the triangle may be however large, applying this complex method to any possible arbitrary triangle is not wise.
Is there any way in hell to scale down the triangle to within one of the finite tiles (the square arrays, first one for example) in such a way that I can be certain the cromatic average is not at all altered, in order to make it easier to calculate its cromatic average? Or would some other method work, other than scaling (it just popped into mind)? Please enlighten. 10x
Cheers, Vishy.
An intelligent man usually knows how to reach his goals. A wise man also knows what goals to reach...
Here's a simple suggestion that should help a little. I bet it could be developed further.
Precompute and store the average color of the entire array. Then, if you can figure out how many arrays are completely enclosed by the triangle, you've greatly reduced the amount of calculations you have to do.
El que pega primero pega dos veces.
10X Ryos.
Thought of this. But you can see how being able to somehow reduce the triangle to a single texture tile with no disturbance of the cromatic average is so much better.
Perfect actually. Especially considering how the triangle may be however large or far away from the centre of the plane's system. For an especially large one I might (the computer) have to work for minutes/hours.
And this triangle is only half a screen pixel projected on some polygon (the plane).
Can you imagine going through that immensly slow process for 2*1024*768*(at least)25 times a second?
Cheers, Vishy.

hello again
wat happened about that hacker
i no her she said she only wanted to talk to me on the website but failed because she didnt have an email address
And this triangle is only half a screen pixel...
Oh! Why didn't you say so? If you know that your triangle is exactly half of a screen pixel, then you're talking about a very specific thing: a 45-45-90 triangle.
Two of these make a square. Now, let me ask a stupid question. Why are you even bothering with triangles, when squares are so much easier to work with given a square texture tile?
El que pega primero pega dos veces.
Hello again Ryos . No, no. You got it wrong.
The half pixel has almost nothing to do with the question at hand. I never said the arbitrary triangle is 45-45-90. How could an arbitrary triangle be a right-angle triangle?
The average colour of the arbitrary triangle, averaged again with a sister triangle that shares 2 tips with this one - for the other pixel half- , is the colour that the current screen pixel will have. There's no other link.
I am talking about perspective projection here. The average colours of the 2 sister triangles, averaged again between themselves, will determine the final colour of the current screen pixel to which they are projected on screen. In fact they lie somewhere on a polygon in 3D space. Thus they most certainly have no edges either perpendicular or parallel (between the 2 the triangles, I mean).
You can experiment this by simply sticking a square paper cutout CENTRED on a flashlight and pointing it at a wall at different angles, NOT JUST PERPENDICULARLY. Now try shutting the lights and turning the flashlight on .
The square cutout is the screen pixel. The lantirn is the eye and the wall is a polygon being seen by the eye. The (NOT SO square) quad. shadow on the wall is the 2 arbitrary sister triangles I'm talking about. Get it?

Curriculum Center
The Curriculum Center is housed on the ground floor of Bierce Library. It is a collection of educational materials used primarily by students in the College of Education for course-related work and in preparation for practice teaching. Some of the materials are also useful in speech-making and other presentations.
There are six types of materials found in the Bierce Library Curriculum Center:
- Sample school textbooks (for most subjects and grade levels)
- juvenile biographies
- children`s picture books
- young adult literature books
- children`s and young adult non-fiction books
- teaching games
School Textbooks
The school textbooks are located in two places.
Newly received textbooks are labeled starting with the Dewey number reflecting their subject (e.g., 510 for Mathematics). They can be found in the non-fiction section (the three stacks farthest from the tables), where all books are arranged by the Dewey number for the subject.
Most of the older textbooks are found in the stacks closest to the Curriculum Center tables. These books are labeled with:
- a Dewey decimal number for the broad grade
- a second number for the subject
- and a grade designation
- Example:
372.24 (Elementary) (Secondary books begin with 373.07)
5105 (Mathematics)
H324 (the Publisher)
2T (2nd grade; Teachers edition)
Juvenile Biographies
These are all labeled beginning with a "jB " for Juvenile Biography, followed by letters and numbers (e.g., jB W236), or they are labeled with "Biography ," followed by letters and numbers. This is our way of arranging the biographies alphabetically by the name of the person the book is about.
Children`s Picture Books
These are found in two places. First, the older picture books are all labeled beginning "jE " for Juvenile Easy. This is followed by letters and numbers, which is our way of arranging them alphabetically by author.
Newer children`s picture books are labeled "Fiction" and followed by a letter for the author`s last name, followed by numbers. This is our way of arranging them by author. A target grade level is noted. Example: Fiction Si 324 Pre-K-Grade 2.
For now, the older "jE` books are filed in their own section, and the newer picture books labeled "Fiction" are shelved by author with the Young Adult fiction (see next).
Young Adult (YA) Fiction
These are found in two places. First, the older YA fiction books are all labeled beginning "jF " for Juvenile Fiction. This is followed by letters and numbers, which is our way of arranging them alphabetically by author.
Newer YA fiction is simply labeled beginning with "Fiction" and followed by a letter for the author`s last name, followed by numbers. This is our way of arranging them by author. A target grade level is noted. Example: Fiction G 274 Grades 9-12.
Both the books labeled "jF" and those labeled "Fiction" are shelved together by author.
Children`s and Young Adult Nonfiction
Nonfiction books are about persons, places, and things. These all begin with Dewey decimal numbers that correspond to the book`s subject. Example: 510 H26 Grades 4-6 For this book, 510 is Mathematics. H26 is the publisher. Grades 4-6 are the target grades.
This nonfiction section, located in the last 3 book stacks furthest from the Curriculum Center tables, is now also the location for new textbooks . They, too, are labeled with a number for their subject (e.g., 510 for mathematics). These new textbooks are filed in with the nonfiction books.
So, nonfiction and textbooks on the same topic will be found together on the shelves, making for easy one-stop shopping on your topic of interest.
Teaching Games
Teaching games are located on the wall shelving in the Curriculum Center. They are arranged by Dewey decimal numbers that correspond to their subject. We have about 12 subject categories for games. These are the obvious big subject areas, such as reading, mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, etc.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen Seng announced today that the City has reached agreement with Hy-Vee Inc. to begin redeveloping the north side of "O" Street between 50th and 52nd streets with a $15 million, 78,000 sq. ft. supermarket. The seven-acre redevelopment project will:
The new store will be built on the former Park Place auto dealership site, located at 50th and "O" streets.
"This will be a wonderful change for Lincoln residents," Mayor Seng said. "It is great that this project on the north side of 'O' Street can get started while the street is under construction. The street will be done before the store opens."
"We are fully committed to the Lincoln market and are thrilled that area residents soon will shop in a brand new 21st century store," said Pat Hensley, assistant vice president of operations for Hy-Vee's Western Region.
The new store will be more than double the size of the aging Hy-Vee store at 70th and "O" streets, which it eventually will replace. It will cater to the latest in shopping trends and services, including one-hour and digital photo, drive-up pharmacy, a variety of dining opportunities, an attached wine and spirits store and a bank. There will be expanded departments of fresh-cut meat, organic produce and HealthMarket products, gourmet salads and desserts and much more. The store also will feature a Hy-Vee Club room for classes and meetings, and a baby department that includes organic and natural products, plus a variety of equipment and toys.
Hy-Vee, Inc. is an employee-owned corporation operating 224 retail stores in seven Midwestern states. The company recorded total sales of $4.9 billion in 2005, ranking it among the top 20 supermarket chains and the top 35 private companies in the U.S.
The redevelopment agreement between the City and Hy-Vee will be presented on June 26 at a City Council public hearing. Under the agreement, Hy-Vee will purchase the seven-acre site and invest more than $15 million dollars in building and site improvements. This week, Hy-Vee entered into a contract with Abram LLC to purchase the site.
The City proposes using $751,000 of tax increment financing (TIF) generated by the project improvements to assist in demolition, rough grading, utility relocation and other public improvements in the declared blighted and substandard redevelopment area. For every $1 of TIF funds spent, Hy-Vee will invest more than $15 in private funds.
Under the redevelopment agreement, the City proposes to build two important public projects in the area north of "O" Street. The City proposes to complete 50th Street to connect "O" and "R" streets. Completion of this street will improve traffic circulation in the 48th and "O" street area and improve access to all the nearby stores north of "O" Street. The primary costs of the North 50th Street connection are proposed to be funded by a special assessment district, which assigns the cost to the adjacent property owners, including Hy-Vee, on a pro-rata basis.
During construction of the grocery store, the City will also build a storm sewer improvement project to reduce the localized flooding that occurs during heavy rains. The storm sewer improvement will be north of the new store site and also will help prevent flooding at the Quality Suites and Doane College Lincoln campus properties.
Site preparation and construction of the private and public projects is scheduled to begin by late fall of this year. The "O" Street widening project is scheduled for completion at the end of November.
The City selected Hy-Vee, Pinnacle Bank and McCombs Commercial Realty as the "developers of record" for the north side of "O" Street following a competitive request for proposals. Yesterday, the other two redevelopers, Pinnacle Bank and McCombs Commercial Realty, formally withdrew from the project and encouraged the Mayor to proceed with the seven-acre Hy-Vee plan.
The City will consider whether it is more viable to offer the remaining area in the original redevelopment plan northeast of 48th and "O" as a single project site or divide it into multiple project areas. It is also possible with the heavy lifting done at 50th and "O," that the private sector is ready to develop the other corner.
Hy-Vee joins private sector construction already under way for Westgate Bank, Braeda Restaurant, and Walgreen Drug store on the south side of "O" Street east of 48th Street.

The New York Paid Family Leave Law, which becomes effective January 1, 2018, will, when fully phased in, result in eligible employees being entitled to up to 12 weeks of paid family leave when they are out of work for certain qualifying reasons. As discussed in the New York Labor and Employment Law articles from May 25, 2017 and March 13, 2017, the paid family leave program is intended to be funded entirely through employee payroll deductions and employers are not required to fund any portion of this benefit. The proposed regulations issued by the New York Workers' Compensation Board provide that employers are permitted, but not required, to begin to collect weekly contributions on July 1, 2017. Under the statute, the New York Department of Financial Services was tasked with setting the maximum employee contribution by June 1, 2017, and annually thereafter.
On June 1, 2017, the Superintendent of Financial Services issued its decision setting the maximum employee contribution at 0.126% of an employee's weekly wage, up to and not to exceed 0.126% of the statewide average weekly wage (SAWW). The SAWW, which was set by the New York State Department of Labor on March 31, 2017, is currently $1,305.92. So, for example, if an employee's weekly wage amounts to $1,000.00, the maximum payroll deduction for PFL would be $1.26 for that week. For employees who make more than the SAWW of $1,305.92, the PFL deduction will be capped at $1.65 per week (0.126% of $1,305.92). As a reminder, the SAWW is calculated annually on March 31st based on the previous calendar year, so the maximum PFL employee contribution will likely increase in March 2018.
We will continue to provide updates on the PFL, including the status of the proposed regulations, as information becomes available.

Altra Industrial Motion Inc. has multiple locations in the U.S., as well as Central America, Europe, and Asia. The Employment Law Alliance has proved to be a great asset in assisting us in dealing with employment issues and matters in such diverse venues as Mexico, Australia, and Spain. We have obtained excellent results using the ELA network for matters ranging from a multi-state review of employment policies to assisting with individual employment issues in a variety of foreign jurisdictions.
In one instance, we were faced with an employment dispute with a former associate in Mexico that had the potential for substantial economic exposure. The matter had been pending for over a year, and we were not confident in the employment advice we had been receiving. I obtained a referral to the ELA counsel in Mexico, who was able to obtain a favorable resolution of the dispute in only a few days. Based on our experiences with the ELA, we would not hesitate to use its many resources for future employment law needs.
In my career I have been a practicing attorney, counsel to the Governor of Maine, and CEO of a major public utility. I have worked with many lawyers in many settings. When the American University in Bulgaria needed help with employment litigation in federal court in Syracuse, New York, we turned to Pierce Atwood, the ELA member we knew and trusted in Maine, for a referral. We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness and high quality of service we received from Bond Schoeneck & King, the ELA's firm in upstate New York. I would not hesitate to recommend the ELA to any employer.

I really enjoyed the Conducting an Effective Internal Investigation in the United States webinar. We are in the midst of a rather delicate employee relations issue in California right now and the discussion helped me tremendously. It also reinforced things that you tend to forget if you don't do these investigations frequently. So, many, many thanks to the Employment Law Alliance for putting that webinar together. It was extremely beneficial.
Lynn Clayton
Vice President, Human Resources
I recently participated in the ELA-sponsored webinar on the Employee Free Choice Act. I was most impressed with that presentation. It was extremely helpful and very worthwhile. I have also been utilizing the ELA's online Global Employer Handbook. This compliance tool is absolutely terrific.
I am familiar with several other products that purport to provide up-to- date employment law information and I believe that this resource is superior to other similar compliance manuals. I am delighted that the ELA provides this free to its members' clients.
Employment Law Alliance (ELA) has provided Boyd Coffee Company with a highly valued connection to resources, important information and learning. With complex operations and employees working in approximately 20 states, we are continually striving to keep abreast of specific state laws, many of which vary from state to state. We have participated in the ELA web seminars and have found the content very useful. We appreciate the ease, cost effectiveness and quality of the content and presenters offered by these web seminars. The Global Employer Handbook has provided our company with a very helpful overview of legal issues in the various states in which we operate, and the network of attorneys has helped us manage issues that have arisen in states other than where our Roastery and corporate headquarters are located in Portland, Oregon.
As an international operating outsourcing and consulting supplier Capgemini has used firms of the Employment Law Alliance in Central Europe. We were always highly satisfied with the quality of employment law advice and the responsiveness. I can really recommend the ELA lawyers.
As an employment lawyer based in San Francisco, I work closely with high tech clients with operations around the globe. Last year, one of my clients needed to implement a workforce reduction in a dozen countries simultaneously. And they gave me 48 hours to accomplish this. I don't know how I could have pulled this off without the resources of the ELA. I don't know of any single law firm that could have made this happen. My client received all of the help they needed in a timely fashion and on a cost effective basis.
Stephen J. Hirschfeld
As the Vice President for Litigation & Associate General Counsel for my company, I need to ensure that we have a team of top-notch employment lawyers in place in every jurisdiction where we do business. And I want to be confident that those lawyers know our business so they don't have to reinvent the wheel when a new legal matter arises. With more than 3400 stores and 35,000 employees operating in all 50 U.S. states and across Canada, we rely on the ELA to partner with us to help accomplish our objectives. I have been delighted with the consistent high quality of the work performed by ELA lawyers. I encourage other in-house counsel to use their services, as well.
Ingram Micro is the world's largest technology distributor, providing sales, marketing, and logistics services for the IT industry around the globe. With over 13,000 employees working throughout the U.S. and in 35 international countries, we need employment lawyers who we can count on to ensure global legal compliance. Our experience with many multi-state and multi-national law firms is that their employment law services are not always a high priority for them, and many do not have experts in many of their offices. The ELA has assembled an excellent team of highly skilled employment lawyers, wherever and whenever I need them, and they have proven to be an invaluable resource to our company.
Our company, Konami Gaming, Inc., is growing rapidly in a very diverse and highly regulated industry. We are aggressively entering new markets outside the domestic U.S., including Canada and South America. I have had the recent opportunity to utilize the services provided by the ELA. The legal advice was both responsive and professional. Most of all, the entire process was seamless since our Nevada attorney coordinated the services and legal advice requested. I look forward to working with the ELA in the future, as it serves as a great resource to the legal community.
Jennifer Martinez
Vice President, Human Resources
Until recently, I was unaware of the ELA's existence. We have subsidiaries and affiliates throughout the United States, as well as in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. When a recent legal issue arose in Texas, our long-time Nevada counsel, who is a member of the ELA, suggested that this matter be handled by his ELA colleague in Dallas. We are very pleased with the quality and timeliness of services provided by that firm, and we are excited to now have the ELA as an important asset to help us address employment law issues worldwide.
The ELA network has been immensely important to our company in helping us address an array of human resources challenges around the world. I strongly encourage H.R. executives who have employees located in many different jurisdictions to utilize the ELA's unparalleled expertise and geographic coverage.
Stacy Murphy
Former Senior Director of Human Resources
As the General Counsel for a company with 6,500 employees operating across the U.S. and in eight countries, it is critical that I have top quality lawyers on the ground where we do business. The ELA is an indispensable resource. It has taken the guesswork out of finding the best employment counsel wherever we have a problem.
Jill K. Bond
Senior Vice President/General Counsel, Shared Services and Benefits
We have direct sales and service offices all over the U.S., but have not necessarily had the need in the past for assistance with legal work in every state where we have a business presence. From time to time, we suddenly find ourselves facing a legal issue in a state where we have no outside counsel relationship. It has been a real benefit to know that the ELA has assembled such an impressive team of experts throughout the U.S. and overseas.
A few years ago, we faced a very tough discrimination lawsuit in Mississippi. We had never had to retain a lawyer there before. I was absolutely delighted with the Mississippi ELA firm. We received an excellent result. They will no doubt handle all of our employment law matters in Mississippi in the future. I have also obtained the assistance of several other ELA firms around the U.S. and have received the same outstanding service. The ELA is a tremendous resource for our company.
Our affiliated companies have used the Employment Law Alliance in connection with numerous acquisitions, and have always been extremely pleased with our ability to obtain the highest quality legal advice on due diligence issues from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We have found the Employment Law Alliance firms to be not only first rate with respect to their legal advice but also responsive and timely in assisting us with federal and state law issues critical to our due diligence efforts. We consider the Employment Law Alliance to be an important part of our team.
We have partnered with many ELA firms on the development and execution of case management strategies with very positive results. We have been very pleased with the legal advice and counsel provided by the law firms we have utilized who are affiliated with the Employment Law Alliance. The ELA firms we have worked with are customer focused, responsive, and thorough in their approach to handling labor and employment law matters.

After receiving a special permit and variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals in January, a project that would turn the Fall River Knitting Mill into senior housing is looking forward to its next round of applications in May.
The project would convert the former mill at 69 Alden St. in the Flint neighborhood into 119 units of affordable housing for people 62 and older. A 5,000-square-foot senior center that is open to the public will be included in the renovations. The developer has offered to lease it to the city's Council on Aging for $1 a year.
Spearheaded by the Rome, N.Y.-based developer Liberty Affordable Housing, construction will consist of units being built in two phases; phase one will include 75 units and phase 2, approximately 44, said Lee Woltman, a local consultant for the developers. At least six of the units will be handicap-accessible. At the moment, 193 parking spaces are planned, which includes a designated space for each unit.
"The cost is not firm yet," Woltman said. "Architectural plans are complete and the builder is in the process of pricing everything."
Arthur Loomas, a consultant with Liberty Affordable Housing, said the upcoming application will include seeking tax credits and funding from the state Department of Housing and Community Development.
"We're early on. We just have to keep meeting all the requirements," he said.
Woltman said that the best-case scenario would have their upcoming applications approved by fall, allowing them to start construction one to two months after approval. That would mean the project would be completed in late 2014 or early 2015.
The Fall River Knitting Mill was originally one of two buildings that made up the Wampanoag Mills; it housed a sweater manufacturer, Woltman said. Later, the name changed to the Fall River Knitting Mill and it continued to be a sweater manufacturer and retail outlet into the 1970s.
The other building of the Wampanoag Mills, now the 55+ affordable housing project aptly named Curtain Loft, made curtains, Woltman said. That project was completed in early 2012.
Woltman referenced the construction of a nearby Walmart and Sam's Club as evidence that this formerly run-down area of the city is being revitalized. A bike path is planned to run behind the mill.
These improvements "are going to really make that a nicer section to live in and help all the small businesses there as well," Woltman said.
Because the Knitting Mills project is still in its infancy, the nearby Curtain Lofts is used as a basis of comparison for cost estimates, Woltman said. That 97-unit revitalization of the mill on nearby Quequechan Street cost $25 million, and the scope of this project is bigger.
At the same time, Woltman added, Curtain Lofts quickly filled its units, showing that there is a demand for affordable senior housing.
"The Flint has a wonderful, rich history and we're really excited about helping to improve this important section of the city," he said.

As Chelsea prepare to face League One outfit Brentford in the FA Cup on Sunday, Ashley Cole is well aware the Blues cannot afford to be complacent going into the game.
Speaking to the club's official website, Cole said: "They are going to be really up for it.
"They will put some tackles in and we know it is going to be a tough game, but if we can dominate with some of the great players we have then hopefully we are going to win the game."
The England international left-back is hungry for further success with Chelsea, and that everyone at the club is determined to win every game, irrespective of the opponents.
"It is all big games now and this is what we are here for, to win trophies. If we can win every game this season, which is not impossible, we know at the end of the season we are going to be rewarded."
In 22 FA Cup games for Chelsea, Cole has never been on the losing side during open play, having tasted defeat on penalties against Everton last year. But Cole, 31, pays little attention to the record, instead focussing on how many trophies he has in his cabinet back home.
"I have not really thought about how many games I have won, but of course you think about how many trophies you have won, and when you go to the final it is a great day out.
"But it is not just me, Chelsea as a club seems to enjoy the FA Cup as well, we always seem to do well in the competition but Brentford on Sunday is a tricky game."
After signing a new one-year contract extension, the former Arsenal full-back will be hoping to add to his trophy haul before the end of his career.

Captain Tom McCarthy tied for 14th overall, the Bulldogs' top finisher at 7-over for the tournament.
The University of Central Florida dominating the field, posting a 54-hole combined score of just 4-over; the University of West Florida, the second place finisher, were a full 18 strokes behind the Bulls at 22-over. The Bulldogs finished their three rounds at 44-over - four strokes ahead of the host URI Rams and four strokes behind eighth place finisher Seton Hall.
Sophomore Bradley Kushner also had a strong showing for the Elis, shooting a combined 10-over 226 in three rounds. Freshman Sam Bernstein was the third Bulldog to crack the individual top 50, taking 33rd at 12-over. Kushner, Bernstein, and the rest of the field were all chasing UCF's Greg Eason, the tournament's individual champion and the only player in the field to finish with his combined score under par (-2, 224). Central Connecticut's Kevin Josephson took second at even par through his 54 holes.
The Bulldogs now return home to host the Macdonald Cup at the nation's top collegiate course, the Golf Course at Yale, October 2-3.

The rivalry between Port Said's al Masry soccer club and Cairo's al Ahly team is legendary, so angry and violent that for many years police made a habit of escorting fans into and out of the stadium for fear of violence.
But on Feb. 1, 2012, those precautions were forgotten. The melee that followed the game that day left 74 people dead – and heaped more fuel on Egypt's simmering cauldron of discontent.
Last weekend more than 60 people died in riots that were triggered when a judge sentenced 21 people to death for their roles in last year's stampede. On Friday, thousands turned out for protests around the country to mark the anniversary of the tragedy, with many using the occasion to renew their calls for the resignation of President Mohammed Morsi. Some threw Molotov cocktails over the walls of the presidential palace and battled with presidential guards. One person was killed and at least 48 people were injured near the palace.
Yet for all the attention the events of that day have received in Egypt, few people know the details of what happened. Egyptian journalists have been forbidden, under penalty of jail, from reporting on the specifics of the criminal cases lodged against 75 defendants. No official report has been issued on the incident. If there had been, people might be even angrier.

A 200-page summary of the prosecution's case, obtained by McClatchy, claims that what took place was a planned assault that could be blamed as much on police as on overzealous fans.
Police failed to check fans entering the stadium for weapons. Someone sealed the stadium's gates, trapping fans, who either died pressed against the welded-closed entrances or were hurled to their deaths from their upper deck seats.
The summary also alleges that someone shut off the stadium lights as the fight began, allegedly at the request of the leader of Port Said's al Masry club.
The case file in some ways is a snapshot of the problems that plague Egypt: a failed police force that hasn't secured the nation the way it did under deposed President Hosni Mubarak and is unable to prepare for potentially volatile events. Indeed, before last Saturday's court hearing in the case, there were warnings that the sentences very likely would lead to violence between "ultras" – die-hard supporters of each team. But no security measures were in place in Port Said or Cairo for the ruling.
A Human Rights Watch report released Friday says that despite a change in government, many police abuses continue, one of the many gripes that prompts protesters to use events such as the Port Said verdict to take to the streets. At least 11 detainees have been killed in police custody, Human Rights Watch found. It also found that serious human rights problems remain.
"Police continued to use torture in police stations and at points of arrest, mostly during investigations in regular criminal cases, but also in some political cases, such as the torture of protesters arrested in Cairo in August and November," the report says. "Police have also continued to use excessive and sometimes lethal force, both in policing demonstrations and in regular policing."
On Monday, Morsi ordered military tanks on the streets after protests between citizens and police killed 32 people in Port Said in one day. He also imposed a 30-day curfew and emergency law in the three canal provinces that saw the most violence – Port Said, Suez and Ismailia – which residents have ignored. The military has said it's there only to protect government buildings, even as Morsi gave soldiers the authority to arrest civilians.
What's unclear from the Port Said prosecution file is why the police would be complicit in the deaths of fans. Nine officers are among the defendants, though none has been sentenced yet. Their fates, along with those of 45 other defendants, are expected to be learned March 9.
Video of the stampede shows that thousands were involved. But the prosecution file – based on interviews with fans of both teams, reporters at the game, stadium lighting experts and police, as well as autopsy reports and videos – suggests that what took place was closely planned in a meeting two days before the game. That meeting was attended by some of the 21 people who were sentenced to death last Saturday.
The prosecution noted that the rivalry between the teams dates back decades. In the years before Mubarak's 2011 fall, the police anticipated possible violence and did things such as escorting Cairo fans out of Port Said and searching fans before they entered the stadium.
But none of those security measures were in place for the 2012 game, even though both teams' "ultras" had begun making threats on their Facebook fan pages in the days before the match, the file said.
"Port Said is waiting for you with knives and pistols," one of the messages read.
"If you are coming to Port Said, write your mother a will because you will die for sure," read another.
In Port Said, a group of ultras sanctioned by the al Masry club, called Super Green, met to plot their attack on visiting al Ahly fans, the file alleges. They were led by a 21-year-old ultra named Mohammed Adel Mohammed, or Hummus, as he's known among ultras and Port Said residents. In the case file and in Port Said, Hummus' name is synonymous with the case. Calls for his release are painted on the exterior of the stadium.
"Defendants premeditated the killing of some of the Ahly club fans (ultras) to retaliate for previous disputes between them and to show off their strength. For this purpose, they used weapons (knives and sticks) and explosive materials, such as flames, and rocks and other items to assault people," the file says.
The al Masry ultras began attacking even before the game, ambushing the al Ahly team at its hotel with rocks and insults. The taunting continued at the stadium, the file says, with several al Masry fans changing their clothes and weapons throughout the day to make it harder to identify them in security video.
Throughout, Port Said police "didn't interfere in any way, which was seen on the videos," the file says.
Port Said's al Masry team won 3-1, an upset. As soon as the final whistle blew, the suspected al Masry ultras made their move toward the seating section reserved for al Ahly fans, the file alleges. They threw Molotov cocktails and began attacking the al Ahly partisans with bricks and chairs.
"Al Mando was seen taking a blade from his mouth on video," the file claims, referring to one ultra by his nickname. Another, "Chocolate," said he'd attended the planning but he denied being at the stadium. The leader, Hummus, admitted to throwing rocks at al Ahly fans, the prosecution alleges. Others told the prosecution that they saw him carrying Molotov cocktails, knives and sticks, as well.
As the melee was in full swing, the stadium lights went out.
Hummus' father, Adel Mohammed, defends his son., saying he and Hummus had left the game before the stampede began. While he concedes that his son was at the planning meeting, he says his motives were innocent. The confession must have been coerced, he said.
The Super Green ultra meeting was "normal, and such groups are around all Egypt. They organize themselves and buy and design T-shirts to wear" to the games, Mohammed said. "They are all liars about Hummus carrying weapons. The proof is that each person charges him with carrying something different. What is he, Superman?"
The prosecution summary says several al Masry fans told investigators they'd noticed that one of the gates had been welded shut when they entered the stadium. They also thought it strange that no one was searching people for weapons.
One police officer, known as Defendant 70, had the keys to all the gates but couldn't be found when the stampede began. According to the file, he kept changing the story behind his disappearance. At one point, he said he didn't unlock the gate at the request of Defendant 64, another officer. He told someone else the crowds were too big for him to confront. For his part, Defendant 64 said he never gave such orders and couldn't find his fellow officer when the attack began, the case file says.
"The prosecution found the keys with (Defendant 70) during the investigation. He said that he is the one who locked the doors, and he kept the keys with him until he handed them in to the prosecution. The prosecution made sure of that by trying the keys on the locks on Gates 2 and 3 and they opened the locks," the summation says.
Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed Ali, a worker in the medical examiner's office who was interviewed by the prosecution, examined some of the bodies and found that many died with skull fractures. Others died of suffocation.
Closed since then, the stadium appears much as it did after the stampede. The field is strewn with bricks and chairs, and dried blood can be seen near the gates. McClatchy found one exit still welded shut.
The new season is set to start this month. Egyptian officials have said all games will take place at military soccer fields, where troops can secure them – a lesson learned from what happened in Port Said.

The late extension of the production tax credit (PTC) has certainly crimped wind development activity this year. However, Washington-based Port of Vancouver USA says it is beginning to see some rumblings of activity regarding turbine component shipments slated for U.S. projects.
Alastair Smith, the POV's senior director of marketing and operations, tells NAW that by the time the PTC was extended in early January, turbine original equipment manufacturers were long out of their production cycle.
And when the PTC was finally extended, there was no definition of what it meant to begin construction. 'That affected us too,' he explains. 'We had no movement of wind components of any kind until two months ago.'
Smith says the only request to move turbine components came from Ralls Corp., the developers behind a group of proposed Oregon wind projects whose contracts were later nullified by the Obama administration out of national security concerns.
The developers later named Obama in a lawsuit. As the lawsuits began, the 20 towers and 10 nacelles slate for the wind projects idly sat at the port.
'Last summer, the turbine shipments just stopped,' Smith recalls, adding that Ralls Corp. has only recently begun to relocate some towers and nacelles to Colorado.
Slowly, the trend could be changing, however. Citing discussion with industry participants as well as internal forecasts, Smith anticipates more project announcements soon.
'In talking to customers, we hear anecdotally that project activity will begin,' Smith says. 'We are just not sure at this point where the components are headed.'
For its part, the POV has a bit more certainty for projects planned closer to home. Although the project has not been finalized, Smith expects the POV to handle turbine components for Phase II of the Lower Snake River wind farm.
The wind farm, which will be powered by 116 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines, was acquired by Portland General Electric earlier this month.
Still, he says, the U.S. wind market remains challenging, specifically as it relates to imports of wind towers made in China and Vietnam.
Last year, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that the U.S. wind industry was materially injured by dumped and subsidized imports of utility-scale wind turbine towers from China and Vietnam.
The U.S. Department of Commerce later levied steep antidumping and counter-vailing duties on wind towers emanating from China and Vietnam.
Since then, shipments destined for U.S. wind farms have all but stopped, Smith explains. 'With 90 to 100 percent duties levied on top of the purchase, the price for one of those is now about the same as a tower made in the U.S.'
While the fines have helped level the playing field for U.S. tower producers, the POV has been significantly impacted. Smith says tower shipments from China and Vietnam comprised the lion's share of the wind components handled by the port. To fill the void, the POV has recently devised a way for components to continue arriving at the port – but be shipped to Canada without being subject to dumping and countervailing duties.
Despite the slowdown in the U.S. market, the Canadian wind market remains robust. Led by Alberta and British Columbia, shipments to Canada are moving briskly. As evidence, Smith says the POV will handle 52 Vestas towers stated for the 300 MW BlackSpring Ridge Wind Farm, located in Alberta, later this summer or early fall.
He credits the POV's recent enhancements to its rail and crane infrastructure – as well as its proximity to the Columbia River Gorge system – for its success with Canadian shipments.

Ireland didn't lose in Paris for the first time in 12 years, but try telling that to the players who trooped off the Stade de France pitch with dejection as their best friend on Sunday evening after a 17-17 draw.
A brave first half performance gave way to a battling second half defensive display as Ireland drew a game they could have won and might have lost.
Two Tommy Bowe tries, one described by Irish rugby legend Tony Ward as the best he has ever seen from a team in green, and seven points from the boot of Jonathon Sexton helped the visitors to a 17-6 interval lead.
But this was not to be Ireland's day as they sought a first win over French soil since Brian O'Driscoll scored a hat-trick of tries back in 2000.
O'Driscoll, injured and watching on TV back home in Dublin, was hardly missed as Ireland took the re-arranged game to their French hosts three weeks after it was postponed due to a frozen pitch.
The Irish were on fire in that opening half and then stood up to everything France could have thrown at them in a crazy second period when a Wesley Fofana try and two penalties from Morgan Parra pulled the Blues level.
Both sides had chances to win it in a frantic final five minutes, but ultimately the draw was the fairest result even if it does neither team any good in championship terms.
"I was interviewed after the game and they said, 'You must be happy with that result,' but it's a pretty hard pill to swallow," Irish flanker Jamie Heaslip said afterwards.
"We came here to win and outscored France two tries to one, so to draw is a mixed bag. It's frustrating. We were confident at halftime. We'll look at the penalties, some of them we might agree with, some of them we might not.
"The self-belief was there, it's always there. We don't doubt ourselves."
Even Bowe was reluctant to celebrate his two try haul on a day that might have produced so much more for the visitors.
"I'm delighted to score against France, tries against them aren't easy to come by so to get over twice in one day is very satisfying," the 28-year-old said after his 23rd and 24th international tries on his 47th cap.
"But of course you would hope to get a victory out of it, but unfortunately we didn't. In the second half
I barely touched the ball which is a huge disappointment. It's bittersweet."
Captain Paul O'Connell, who picked up a knee injury that has ruled him out of the remaining two games, was just as dejected.
"There's certainly a big feeling of defeat and an opportunity lost," said O'Connell. "We're very frustrated and very disappointed.
"We scored an intercept try and one really good, well worked try. We then conceded a really soft, poor try and we're really disappointed with our second-half performance."
Ireland: Kearney; Bowe, Earls, D'Arcy, Trimble; Sexton, Murray; Healy, Best, Ross, O'Callaghan, O'Connell, Ferris, O'Brien, Heaslip. Replacements: Ryan for O'Callaghan 58 mins; Reddan for Murray 59 mins; O'Mahony for O'Brien 66 mins; O'Gara for D'Arcy 71 mins; McFadden for Trimble 73 mins; Cronin for Best 75 mins; Court for Healy 75 mins.
Kearney's Hope
ROB Kearney has told his Irish teammates to forget Paris and put all their energies into beating Scotland at the Aviva Stadium this Saturday.
Kearney, brilliant again against the French on Sunday, wants Ireland to prove their pedigree against the Scots.
"We're a good team and we know what we can achieve," said the Leinster full-back. "On our day we can muscle up with any side in the game and we did that against France, but the margins are so small.
"Maybe we're lacking that one or two per cent of a killer instinct. These games are decided by tiny margins. If we develop just another 1% of a killer instinct, we can close these games out."
The Louth born Ireland star is also adamant that self-pity will do his team no good ahead of the Scottish match.
"You need to be an 80-minute team to win games and Scotland will pose a massive threat on Saturday," he added.
"They're a good team and like ourselves they've had a couple of unlucky games. It will be a massive match. It won't be difficult to pick ourselves up because you can't afford to be like that.
"We're lucky to be back in Dublin in front of our own fans. We need to get a win.''
Injury Issues
IRELAND coach Declan Kidney has been hit with a double whammy ahead of Saturday's clash with Scotland at the Aviva Stadium.
Captain Paul O'Connell and scrum-half Conor Murray have both been ruled out of Ireland's remaining Six Nations game.
O'Connell faces up to six weeks on the sidelines with a knee ligament injury and is now a doubt for Munster's big Heineken Cup quarterfinal against Ulster at the start of April.
The big Limerick man played all 80 minutes against France on Sunday but damaged the knee with the full extent of the injury confirmed after a scan in Dublin on Monday.
Murray, who was stretchered off in Paris, is out for up to four weeks after also damaging a knee in the French game.
Eoin Reddan and Declan Ryan will come into the team to play Scotland with Tomas O'Leary and Mike McCarthy added to the squad ahead of Wednesday's team announcement.
Kidney, annoyed by the penalty count in Paris on Sunday, has paid tribute to his players for their efforts against the French.
He said, "We did not go to Paris to draw, we went there to win and to represent the people of Ireland in the best way possible.
"That is why I am immensely proud of the boys. I think that we went at it hard but we could not get that win we were looking for."
Celtic League
THREE of the four Irish provinces won Celtic League games at the weekend. Munster beat the Dragons 24-14 in Wales, Leinster won 22-6 away to Aironi and Ulster were 38-16 winners at home to Edinburgh. Connacht went down 38-10 at the Scarlets.

Randolph "Randy" Bay Abbott, of Leavenworth, Kan., died Saturday, July 20, 2013, at the age of 63. Randy was born March 19, 1950, in Tulsa, Okla., the youngest son of Halene and William Leslie Abbott.
He was the loving husband of Joy Abbott, devoted father of Bay, Molly and Megan Abbott; loving son of Halene White; beloved brother of Linda Abbott Sutton. Randy was a loving brother-in-law, step-brother, uncle, and great uncle to many.
He was preceded in death by his brother, William Leslie Abbott II; his father, William Leslie Abbott; his step-father, Marlow V. White; his step-brother, Tom White; and his step-sister, Lillian Shagrin.
Randy grew up in Lawton, Okla. and graduated from Lawton High School in 1968. After studying Business Administration for four years at Oklahoma University in Norman, Okla., Randy traveled extensively for the next two years in South, Central and North America.
In 1974, he joined the Peace Corps. After three months of Language and Agricultural training in Costa Rica, he was assigned to Paraguay, South America for the next two and a half years.
After returning from the Peace Corps in 1977, Randy began working alongside his mother, Halene and step-father, Marlow White in the family Military Uniform business for 11 years until Marlow's death in 1987. At that time, Mrs. White turned control of the business over to her son as Chief Operating Officer of Marlow White Military Uniforms.
He moved the company from Delaware Street to the 400 Seneca location in 2004, where it's located now proudly serving the military and public safety personnel. The current location originally built in 1914 as a glove factory, was completely restored to its original condition. The renovation was recognized by the Leavenworth Main Street Program as an outstanding economic development project. In 2008, Randy and his partners built the Palma Royale Hotel on the island of Bocas del Toro in Panama. A location he frequently traveled to.
One of Randy's many passions was playing golf with friends and in tournament competitions. In addition to his love for golf, he enjoyed fishing in ponds, lakes, and the deep sea, but what he really loved, was to go catching.
Most of all he enjoyed meeting people and had a gift for listening and giving great advice. Randy was known for his honesty, integrity, sense of humor, wisdom, compassion, storytelling and love of his family and life. He always loved dogs and especially cherished his precious little dog Chloe. He was an extremely well loved and admired man. He will be deeply missed.
Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday July 23, 2013, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 711 N. 5th Street, Leavenworth, KS. Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Immaculate Conception Church, with Rev. David McEvoy, O.Carm., as celebrant. Cremation provided by R.L. Leintz Funeral Home. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to (LAWS) The Leavenworth Animal Welfare Society, St. Luke's Hospice, or Leavenworth Catholic Charities.

SWANSEA — Second graders at the Mark G. Hoyle School took part in the Seventh Annual Presidential Reception in front of a group of relatives Friday morning.
SWANSEA — Second graders at the Mark G. Hoyle School took part in the Seventh Annual Presidential Reception in front of a group of relatives Friday morning.
Led by teachers Rose Marie Oliveira and Melissa Blaser, the students took the roles of presidents and first ladies and this year, two Secret Service agents.
"We started this just after Christmas," said Ms. Oliveira who played the role of Martha Washington. "They worked on their biographies and displays." Ms. Oliveira felt that the students did an outstanding job.
"They were nervous, but I think they might have been more nervous doing this in front of their classmates," she said, pointing out that the students did a presentation in front of the classes. "It was easier doing it in front of the people who they know love them."
This year, Daniel Cabral was George Washington, Paige Cranshaw, Martha Jefferson, Evan Correia was Abraham Lincoln stove pipe hat and all, Samantha Paiva was Jackie Kennedy, Savannah Shulenburg, Pat Nixon, Samantha Cabral was Betty Ford, Jacob Poitras was Ronald Reagan, Zachary Souza was George H.W. Bush, Sadie Costa, Hillary Clinton, Jacob Janicki was George W. Bush and Phoebe Drainville was Barack Obama.
This year, an added feature was Sam Makuch and Chase Howard as Secret Service agents protecting the group of presidents and first ladies.
"It was Sam's idea to have agents," said Ms. Oliveira.
The itinerary included the Presidential Procession followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, Oath of Office, and then each of the presidents and first ladies reading their biography.
Refreshments came after, provided by parents and other relatives of the students.

The teenage years are trying times in a lot of ways, especially in terms of nutrition. Adolescence is indeed a period of high nutritional risk, when the increased demands for nutrients are often met with poor choices of foods, unhealthy eating habits, and deficient intakes of calories and protein as well as many vitamins and minerals.
Adolescence usually begins at age 10?12 in girls and 12?14 in boys. There are not only new demands, but also many physiological changes because of the sexual hormones being released. Body composition also shifts, with girls increasing their percentage of fat and adding curves, while boys tend to increase protein and muscle development. During these years, young men may gain 15?20 pounds in weight and 4?5 inches in height per year, while girls may add 13?18 pounds and grow 3?4 inches yearly. The main years of growth are between ages 11?16 years for girls, 13?18 years for boys.
The nutritional problems of adolescence are probably related to the rebellious nature of these years. Teenagers eat what they want and when; they are hard to feed and harder to influence regarding dietary changes. Peer pressure is great. They often have limited food intake and poor nutrition, with a diet high in sweets and refined foods, fried foods, fast foods, and junk foods. The adolescent diet is often very high on the glycemic index, meaning more rapidly absorbing sugars. A diet higher in the complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and legumes will help to balance this. Luckily, though, for many teenagers the great demands for nutrients to support growth will increase their appetite for more concentrated protein foods and nutrient-rich foods. Some active adolescent males in particular may easily consume 4,000 calories daily.
Boys generally tend to eat enough food, but they may be deficient in nutrients because they often avoid vegetables, whole grains, and other whole foods. Teenagers who eat more refined foods without taking supplements commonly develop deficiencies. Teenage girls tend to eat less, as they are concerned about their weight, and the changes in fatty tissue increase this concern. Thus, they also may consume a diet deficient in nutrients. With the beginning of the menstrual cycle, there are greater demands for iron and other nutrients as well. Problems of bulimia and anorexia nervosa are more common in teenage girls, and will be discussed further in the Weight Gain program in Chapter 17. Teenage pregnancy can be a huge problem because of poor nutrition and deficiencies existing before pregnancy begins, let alone the challenge to a developing emotional system. Poor nutrition during pregnancy or prior to it greatly increases the risk of complications.
Obesity in adolescence usually results from poor food choices and laziness or lack of exercise. Other habits can also lead to weight gain. For example, more average daily time spent watching TV is associated with higher weights, also resulting from less activity and more snacks. With increased calorie intake during these growth years, there is an increase in the number and size of fat cells. This can lead to lifelong weight problems. Diet changes, sensible eating, and exercise are the best ways to counteract excessive weight gain, even in youngsters. Like eating habits, exercise habits are often created early in life, and once set, are harder to change. This is also true for attitudes toward health and life. These factors?eating and exercise patterns, and attitudes?are all important in generating long-term health.

I like the idea that there is no move you can make that has no benefit, and no move that can be made which is completely free of charge. In that ideally, every move you make is a risk choice.
For the death protection glyph it might be nice to provide feedback that you can't use it when you already have the buff. I can see a beginner confused that they can't use the glyph at all, not realizing that their warrior starts out with the buff.
Maybe something that could help the user out is a "stuff on the ground" interface that contains all items and shops which are visible, reachable, and don't touch unexplored regions... that is anything that can be interacted with for free. Then a user can simply click to pick up power ups, or visit shops (if there is some monster that punishes the player for running away then this window would simply not be active at the time).
I also think the reveal tiles buff (from the thieves den) need to provide more info or cost less; e.g. provide level information for these monsters.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by recognizing one of the premier jumpers in Tennessee State track and field history.
As an 18-year-old graduate of Hoke County High School in N.C., Kathy McMillan set a new U.S. record of 22-3 (6.78) in winning the 1976 AAU long jump. She was also instrumental in Helping Hoke County High School to four team state championships in girls' track and field.
After high school, McMillan then went to the Montréal Olympics where she had a marginal foul of 22-4½ (6.82), that would have won the gold, but McMillan had to settle for second place and a silver medal. Her jump tied the record for the longest jump by an American woman.
McMillan accomplished all of this before she even enrolled at TSU.
After the Games, the Raeford N.C. native enrolled at Tennessee State where she got the opportunity to run under legendary track coach Ed Temple.
Under Temple's guidance, McMillan finished second in the AAU competitions in 1977 and 1978. Besides winning the gold medal in the 1979 Pan American Games in the long jump- her eighth Pan Am medal- she placed second in the Olympic trials in 1980 but could not compete, due to the U.S. boycott.
McMillan was inducted into the Tennessee State Sports Hall of Fame in 1988.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.
