Six months after the passage of a ballot measure requiring Long Beach's largest hotels to pay workers a living wage, employees at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach and Hyatt The Pike Long Beach have elected to unionize with Unite Here Local 11.
The decision ends a long-standing feud between the union and hotel, and marks the first major agreement to be reached since the November passage of Measure N.
The agreement highlights "an investment in the most important capital – human capital," Mayor Bob Foster said at a Monday event organized to announce the union agreement.
"I believe this demonstrates the long-term perspective that the Hyatt Corporation and their local team have for this city," he said. "Today (Monday), is an important day and I applaud both sides for finding common ground and engaging in the collective bargaining process. "
Foster joined with Councilwoman Suja Lownethal; Maria Elena Durazo, executive secretary of the Los Angeles County Federation; and General Manager of Hyatt Regency Long Beach Stephen D'Agostino at City Hall to announce the agreement.
Collective bargaining discussions between workers and the union will now begin.
Hyatt employees voted last month for unionization, and an independent election judge informed employees last week that a majority of Hyatt associates who were eligible to vote chose to have UNITE HERE represent them.
"We've always maintained strong relations with our associates and unions representing Hyatt associates in other locations, and we've always believed Hyatt associates should have the right to choose union representation in an election," said D'Agostino. "We look forward to working with UNITE HERE to reach a contract that will continue to support our associates and maintain our high workplace standards. "
In November 2012, Long Beach voters passed Measure N with 64.3 percent of the vote, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder, establishing a new minimum wage for hotel workers.
Measure N requires a minimum wage of $13 per hour for workers at hotels of 100 rooms or more. California's minimum wage is $8.
The so-called living wage initiative also imposes a mandatory two percent annual increase in pay regardless of job performance or economic climate, five paid sick days per year and assures that workers receive 100 percent of guest services charges, such as mandatory gratuities attached to room service.
Another provision would drop wage mandates if hotels agreed to enter into collective bargaining with employees – which is precisely what The Hyatt Regency and Hyatt The Pike did.
Of Long Beach's nearly 50 hotels, the ordinance is only affecting 16, not including one that reduced its available rooms in December to drop below the 100 mark.
Durazo said the November election "paved the way for a better relationship between UNITE HERE Local 11 and Hyatt hotels in Long Beach. "
"We are looking forward to the collective bargaining process that will lead to a fair agreement for both management and employees," she said. "We should acknowledge and reward employers that do right by their employees and the community in which they live. "
She added that the agreement reached between the two "marks an end to UNITE HERE's boycott of Hyatt Regency Long Beach and Hyatt The Pike. "
For nearly a decade, UNITE HERE supporters have boycotted the hotel, filed lawsuits and pushed for a labor peace agreement, a controversial measure that would have required hotels on city-owned land to sign a contract designed to prevent labor conflict such as strikes.
In 2010, the union group filed charges against the Hyatt, saying that a hotel representative apparently videotaped hotel workers and their supporters picketing outside the 200 S. Pine Ave. hotel.
In 2011, the Hyatt filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board against the union's alleged "intimidation and harassment" of hotel managers, who complained about union members visiting them at their homes.
"This community will be a greater community, Long Beach will be a far greater city, as a result of this collective bargaining process," Durazo said. "The Long Beach model should be taken everywhere – this is how you do business, this is how you prosper, an entire community wins because of it. "
Lowenthal, who was a strong advocate and supporter of Measure N, said it was a policy that was pushed by voters and allowed voters to have their voices heard.
"This is not something that was imagined in a closed room, it was driven by the voters – and that is the best public policy," she said. "Hyatt Regency Long Beach and Hyatt The Pike are important members of our community and anchors of the tourism industry in Long Beach. Measure N has allowed us to build a relationship between Hyatt hotels in Long Beach and UNITE HERE Local 11 that will benefit the hotels, workers, and the community going forward. "
Foster acknowledged the longstanding feud between UNITE HERE and the Hyatt Corporation, but said the "best agreements come when everyone leaves something on the table. "
"I think anyone who has followed our successful efforts to reform public pensions here in Long Beach knows that even though everyone agrees on the outcome that process still has to work its way through," Foster said. "And as I have said many times before, the best deal is one where both sides gain and yet leave something on the table. "

What the Smurf?
I don't think I'm alone in feeling that the endless promos for the upcoming "Smurfs" movie have been painful. I mean, even Neil Patrick Harris can't save the day here.
But the relaunch of "The Smurfs" got me thinking — which other 1980s cartoons should have been made into films before the wee blue folks?
Here are my top five picks.
•••• "Muppet Babies"
Aired: 1984-1991
Why it's better than "The Smurfs": As the theme song states, these babies make their dreams come true. Inspiring.
Movie potential: Classic fish-out-of-water tale. The babies break out of the nursery (and stop whining about fearful stuff like going to the dentist) and head out into the real world (i.e.: the outdoors). Time for these kiddies to grow up ... and grow up fast. Jason Segel, who's heading up the upcoming "Muppets" film reboot, should consider this as a heart-warming prequel.
•••• "Gummi Bears"
Aired: 1985-1991
Why it's better than "The Smurfs": Reminds us that ogres are bad. And there's the important cautionary tale — humans force the Gummi Bears into exile because they're jealous of their Gummi skills. Can't we all just get along with candy creatures?
Movie potential: Intense "Avatar"-style drama. Heavy-handed live-and-let-live lesson + a war between Gummi Glen denizens and a human/ogre alliance = good popcorn flick with a message. Plus, we hear David Faustino, who voiced good human Calvin in Season 3, is available.
•••• "Denver, the Last Dinosaur"
Aired: 1988-1990
Why it's better than "The Smurfs": Um, a dinosaur. Who skateboards. Rad! In this unforgettable series, a group of interracial Cali teens (tolerance lesson!) take in a friendly dino and protect it from evil promoter Morton Fizzback. Plus, I've always had a soft spot for the character Shades. He wears sunglasses. See what they did there?
Movie potential: Big-budget summer flick. Let's get Steven Spielberg on board to render an awesome Denver, Christoph Waltz to play the evil Fizzback and Keanu Reeves signed on as Shades. Plus, 3-D skateboarding? Unfortunately, yes.
•••• "Jem"
Aired: 1985-1988
Why it's better than "The Smurfs": Jem can do it all. And be two people. She's not only music company owner Jerrica Benton, but also her singing alter-ego Jem, a persona she morphs into with help of a holographic computer called Synergy. Still with me? This somehow made sense to children.
Movie potential: Singing! Dancing! Holograms! Plus rival music groups the Misfits and the Stingers add much-needed dramatic situations. Jerrica even finds time to not only run foster program the Starlight Foundation for Girls, but house the girls in a mansion. Cameron Crowe, work your music-movie magic on this one ("Truly Outrageous" theme song by Adele).
•••• "ThunderCats"
Aired: 1985-1990
Why it's better than "The Smurfs": Where do I begin? First, there's its general
badassery. There's no question about that. Then there's the refuses-to-die, awesomely named bad guy Mumm-Ra. Finally, is there anyone who didn't want to be young hero Lion-O or Cheetara? This series was so cool I even overlooked countless lines from annoying sidekick Snarf.
Movie potential: This one has "X-Men"-esque written all over it (imagine the casting call for Cheetara alone). Hopefully, Cartoon Network's relaunch of the series (brand new episodes start Friday) could fast-track a feature film since one has been discussed for some time. Michael Bay is salivating in the wings.

"War Witch" and "Una Noche" were the big winners in the Tribeca Film Festival jury awards, which were handed out on Thursday night in New York City.
"War Witch" was named Best Narrative Feature, and its leading actress Rachel Mwanza (left) was named Best Actress. "Una Noche" took home awards for director Lucy Molloy, cinematographers Trevor Forrest and Shlomo Godder, and leading actors Dariel Arrechada and Javier Nunez Florian.
Javier Nunez Florian did not attend the festival; he disappeared in the Miami airport on his way to the festival and is believed to have defected to the United States with fellow Cuban actor Anailin de la Rua. (Florian and de la Rua in the film, below)
"Una Noche" deals with two Cuban teens; one is forced to flee to the United States, while the other debates whether to follow or remain with his sister.
"War Witch" is a portrait of a 14-year-old African girl who is kidnapped by rebels and forced to become a child soldier. Like the winning actors from "Una Noche," star Mwanza is a non-professional. "This indelible character study of a girl who becomes a woman before our eyes in the midst of harrowing war gives words to the unspeakable," read the jury comments. "Riveting, heartbreaking, vivid, and eloquent, the movie balances scenes of crazy enemy hatred with moments of luminous private love."
Other winners in the narrative competition include "All In," which was honored for its screenplay, and "Unit 7," which received a special jury mention.
"The World Before Her" won the top prize in the documentary competition, with a special mention going to "The Revisionaries."
Other doc winners include "Wavumba" for directing and The Flat" for editing.
Short film awards went to "Asad" (narrative short) and "Paraiso" (documentary short), while the Student Visionary Award went to "Stitches."
The Tribeca (Online) Film Festival awards, which are chosen by online votes, were given to the feature film "On the Mat" and the short "CatCam."
Winners received cash prizes of up to $25,000, as well as original art. The awards were presented by a number of Tribeca officials and jurors, among them founders Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal and jurors Patricia Clarkson, Irwin Winkler, Leelee Sobieski, Michael Moore, Lucy Walker and Susan Sarandon.
Other jurors included Dakota Fanning, Jim Sheridan, Whoopi Goldberg, Susannah Grant, Kim Cattrall, Stuart Blumberg, Olivia Wilde, Hugh Dancy, Brett Ratner and Shailene Woodley.
Audience Award winners will be announced on Saturday.

"I can't believe that worked" is all the narrator and camera man behind this trick play had to say after El Camino Real High School quarterback Jahlil Pinkett ran untouched into the end zone.
Pinkett is the JV quarterback at El Camino Real — located in Los Angeles — and pulled off the stunt Friday in a game against Taft. He snapped the ball, casually walked towards the sideline saying "this is the wrong ball" and then darted around the edge and down the sideline for a score.
Yeah, I can't believe that worked either.

DescriptionRoger Wilco is one of the most important men on the starship Arcada: he is the janitor! Just when he was doing what he does best (dozing off in a closet), the shrill sound of an alarm penetrated the air. Arcada is attacked by the evil Sariens! Before Roger realizes what is going on, he discovers that he is the only survivor. The Sariens have killed the entire crew and stolen the valuable Star Generator. Roger's immediate task is to find a way to leave Arcada, which is about to explode in fifteen minutes. And then he'll have to show the Sariens why they should never mess with brave intergalactic janitors!
Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter is a humorous sci-fi adventure game made with Sierra's AGI engine. The gameplay is similar to that of King's Quest: the player navigates Roger around with arrow keys and interacts with the game world by typing commands. There are puzzles to solve and plenty of situations where the player will have to use his wit to save Roger from death.

TriviaIn the Amiga version of the game, there was a color change from light purple to an orange color in some of the game's graphics. So for example, in the Amiga version the sky on the Planet Kerona is orange, instead of light purple like in most versions of the game, including the original DOS version, and the floor in the underground alien settlement is also orange instead of light purple. See the screen shot section for examples.

In 2007, Americans consumed more than 9 billion gallons of bottled water—averaging more than 30 gallons per person.
Why do so many thirsty people choose to drink bottled water instead of tap water? While some prefer the taste and convenience of bottled water, others believe that bottled water is safer to drink. Is this true?
For healthy people, both bottled water and tap water are considered safe to drink if they meet the standards of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The FDA sets food safety, labeling, and inspection standards for bottled water, and the EPA sets standards and conducts frequent testing for municipal drinking water. But the sources and treatments of drinking water can vary considerably.
Evidence for the Health Claim
The taste and quality of drinking water depend on where it comes from and how it is chemically treated. Most tap water comes from surface sources, such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Most bottled water comes from ground sources, such as underground aquifers.
The taste and quality of ground water are less likely to vary day-to-day than water from surface sources. And water deep underground is less vulnerable to contamination than water on the surface. Even so, ground water can contain high levels of contaminants or be contaminated during the bottling and/or treatment processes.
How do you know where your water comes from? If your tap water's source is a public water system, you can check your annual water quality report or contact your water supplier to find its source. For bottled water, you can read the label to find out where the water comes from:
- Artesian water, ground water, spring water, and well water—come from underground aquifers
- Distilled water—steam from boiled water that is recondensed and bottled
Mineral water—ground water that naturally contains dissolved solvents such as minerals, salts, and gases
- Mineral water can also be prepared synthetically.
sterilized water—may originate from any source, but is supposed to be treated according to the US Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for purification and sterilization, respectively
- US Pharmacopeia sets official standards for all prescription and over-the-counter medicines, dietary supplements, and other healthcare products manufactured and sold in the United States.
If you are still unsure of where your bottled water comes from or how it is treated after reading the label, call the manufacturer for more information.
In certain circumstances, tap water may become contaminated by substances such as disease-causing germs, making it unsafe to drink. In these instances, your water supplier is required to notify you by mail, radio, television, or hand-delivery that your water does not meet safety standards. The notice you receive will describe precautions you need to take (eg, boiling your water).
Drinking water may also become contaminated with toxic metals, including arsenic, barium, chromium, lead, mercury, and silver. These metals may enter the water supply from natural sources, industrial processes, and materials used in plumbing systems. Since exposure to toxic metals can have serious health consequences, most water systems are tested regularly to make sure the levels of these substances are within safe standards.
If you are concerned about contaminants in your home's drinking water, have it tested. For more information about testing your water, contact the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
Evidence Against the Health Claim
Although bottled water is considerably more expensive than tap water, it is not necessarily safer. In fact, all drinking water—both bottled and tap—may contain small amounts of contaminants. Furthermore, unlike publicly supplied tap water, the purity of bottled water is not regulated by the government.
A study that was published by the National Resources Defense Council tested more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands of bottled water. The researchers found that while most of the bottled water tested was of high quality, about 1/3 of the water contained levels of contamination that exceeded state or industry standards or guidelines.
Additionally, tap water typically contains fluoride , which promotes strong teeth ans prevent tooth decay , which bottled water usually does not have. Also, there have been some reports that say that one of the chemicals that plastic bottles are composed of (bisphenol-A [BPA]) can leach into water when exposed to high temperatures. BPA has been associated with impairment of the reproductive organs and have adverse effects on breast tissue and prostate development.
If you're are interested in finding out about the source and quality of your public water supply, you can read your local water supplier's annual water report or call and request a copy. If your water comes from a private well, make sure that the water is tested annually for nitrate and coliform bacteria, and more frequently for other contaminants if you suspect a problem. And you can contact the manufacturer of your bottled water to request the results from the latest testing and find out how the water is treated to remove contaminants.
Once you are satisfied the water is of acceptable quality, consider its taste and expense. If a designer bottle of water tastes better to you and fits your budget, by all means, drink up. But if you are looking to save money, most publicly supplied tap water in the US is safe to drink and tastes just fine.

Harry Potter: The Exhibition is a travelling exhibit in Great Britain, North America and Australia displaying over two-hundred props and replicas from the Harry Potter films. Props on display include various character's wands, a full size version of Buckbeak, the Horcruxes, the Triwizard Cup, pieces from the giant Wizard's Chess and an over-sized chair from Hagrid's Hut.
The Exhibition starts with the sorting of three members from the tour group, where the Sorting Hat is placed on their head and "tells" them their house. The guide then opens the doors to a small room to watch a brief film about the Exhibition and the Harry Potter fan base. After the film, the doors at the front of the room open into a misty room with multiple portraits on the wall that move and talk like the portraits in the hallways of Hogwarts.
The following room is similar to the Gryffindor common room, with many props, including the beds used by Harry and Ron in the films on display. The boys' school robes are also in this room next to their beds on mannequins. Many other props fill the room with the beds including their Muggle clothes, the glasses, the golden egg, and their wands. The next room leads to the classrooms of Hogwarts. There is a large section of Slughorn's classroom with his robes and multiple potions ingredients behind him, along with the potions books in a case. There is also a large section of Gilderoy Lockhart's classroom from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It has his robes and a full collection of his books.
Next is Professor Umbridge's office from the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which includes her robes, wand, and multiple Educational Decrees. The end of the room leads to the outdoor world of Harry Potter. Quidditch robes and hoops are there on display, including a mini-Quidditch set up for people to play with. Also, there is a replica Buckbeak and Hungarian Horntail along with a version of Hagrid's hut. This area leads into a dark room with a dementor and the robes of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, along with their masks. Dobby and Kreacher are also here, along with the petrified models of the students from the second film.
The last room in the exhibition is the Great Hall. All of the dress robes and gowns of the Triwizard champions are on display, along with artefacts from the Yule Ball. There is also a long table from the Great Hall with replica food, and a huge case of games and jokes. They include items from Zonko's, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, and candy from Honeydukes. The end of the exhibition leads to a gift shop that has various Harry Potter collectibles available for purchase, some of which are exclusive to the exhibition.
No photography is allowed and there is an optional audio tour available, too.

In observance of Flag Day on Thursday, Ald. James Balcer, 11th, will show his respect for the American flag by burning thousands of them in a massive public disposal ceremony.
The South Side alderman has organized the event for five years as a way for people to properly dispose of worn and unserviceable American, city of Chicago, and prisoner of war and missing in action flags.
"If it's not the largest Flag Day ceremony in the country, I would be surprised," Balcer said. "We've had up to 5,000 flags."
Worn-out flags from city buildings, as well as from individuals, are collected and brought to the former Stockyards site. The flags are placed in boxes, lowered into a trench and "respectfully" burned with supervision from firefighters, the alderman said. The ashes are then buried.
Thursday's ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. at 1439 W. 41st St.
Large-scale disposal ceremonies are common on Flag Day, said Hugh Brady, president of the North American Vexillological Association, an organization of people who study flags. He said disposal ceremonies can help casual observers tell the difference between a respectful and an antagonistic flag burning.
"Burning a flag is a sign of respect, but it's also a sign of political protest," he said.
The U.S. Flag Code, which Congress adopted in 1942, gives guidelines for disposing of a flag, saying it should be done in a respectful manner, Brady said. Burning is the typical method, he said.
Balcer said he helped introduce a city ordinance allowing for libraries, police stations and fire stations to serve as drop-off locations for unserviceable flags.
"I've always loved the American flag," said Balcer, who served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. "One of the things that was troubling to me was when I saw a tattered and worn American flag."

The internationalized and localized version of the Sun Java System Web Server provides support for multiple languages and multiple encodings.
If you want to enter multi-byte data on the administration console pages, you need to be aware of the following issues:
If a file or directory name is to appear in a URL, it cannot contain 8 bit or multi-byte characters.
For email addresses, use only those characters permitted in RFC 17.000 (ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc17.000.txt). User ID and password information must be stored in ASCII.
To make sure you enter characters in the correct format for users and groups, use a UTF-8 form-capable client to input 8 bit or multi-byte data.
The Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 provides multiple character encoding support for the following features:
The Sun Java System Web Server supports setting and retrieving multi-byte properties in the PROPPPATCH and PROPFIND methods. While requests can be made in any encoding format, the response from the server is always in UTF-8.
The Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 uses a Java-based search engine that supports full-text indexing and searching of documents in all character encodings that the underlying Java VM supports. The default encoding for the documents can be specified at the time of creating a search collection. For HTML documents, the indexer tries to deduce the encoding from the HTML meta tags and if it cannot, falls back to use the default encoding.
The search interface is based on JSP tag libraries and can be customized and localized in any language and encoding that you wish. The tag libraries are listed in the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Developer's Guide to Web Applications.
End users can configure their browsers to send an accept-language header that describes their language preference for the content they are accessing. The server can be configured to serve content based on the accept-language header by enabling the Negotiate Client Language checkbox under Configuration > (Select Configuration) > Virtual Server >(Select Virtual Server) > Server Setting > General > Localization.
For example, if this option is enabled, and a client sends the Accept-language header with the value fr-CH,de, when requesting the following URL:
then your server searches for the file in the following order:
The Accept-language list fr-CH,de.
Language codes without the country codes (fr in the case of fr-CH):
The DefaultLanguage, such as en, defined in the magnus.conf file.
If none of these are found, the server tries:
When naming localized files, keep in mind that country codes like CH and TW are converted to lower case and dashes (-) are converted to underscores (_).
Enabling the acceptlanguage setting has a performance penalty since the server has to check for content in every language specified in the accept-language according to the algorithm illustrated above.

So you can't wait to buy a house. You've already scoped out the neighborhood where you want to live, and you're starting to imagine yourself settling into a brand new home. But there's one problem: You don't have enough money for a down payment.
But don't worry. Using the tips below, you'll be able to save up for the down payment you'll need in no time. And then you'll not only have the house you want, but you'll have financial stability as well.
The very first step before buying a house is to know how much of a down payment you will need. To find out, you'll probably have to talk to a real estate agent who can listen to you, understand what you're looking for and then give you a good estimate of how much your new home is going to cost and how much you'll need for a down payment. Typically down payment requirements range from 3.5 percent to 20 percent of the purchase price of a home, depending on the lender and loan type.
Whether the down payment is going to be $20,000, $40,000 or even more, the bottom line is it's going to take you awhile to save up that much money.
To do so, you are going to need to use your future home as your motivation for doing the hard work necessary to reach your goal. Make a visual reminder of why you're saving and put it in a very visible place where you'll see it every day. You can take a picture of a house you want to buy (or even one from a magazine) and put it on a big piece of cardboard or poster board. Then write an inspiring message next to it such as "My future home!" You might even include a countdown clock that says something like "Only 1 year and 78 days until I buy my dream home."
It might seem silly to do this kind of thing, but you'd be amazed at how powerful it can be. The human mind doesn't work like a computer; it needs positive reinforcement to continue doing something or else it will lose interest and then you'll lose momentum.
At this point you've got your number and you've got your motivation. Now you just need to start saving money in every way possible. Take a close look at your spending for the past two months and see which categories of spending can be reduced substantially. Maybe you've been eating out too often, or maybe you've been traveling a lot and you need to cut back until you've saved for your down payment. Whatever the case, by examining your spending and making a plan for lowering it to the minimum level, you can accelerate your saving and be ready to buy a home sooner.
Side jobs are all the rage these days. And the truth is, it's easier than ever to make a buck in your spare time thanks to the Internet. If you want to accelerate your savings, this is the way to go. You can check out sites such as Elance.com or oDesk.com that connect freelancers to people all over the world who are willing to pay for their services. Even if you think you don't have any marketable skills, there are probably some jobs on these sites you could bid on. For example, people are making money right now as virtual assistants, writers, designers, transcribers, etc., while working from home in their free time. If you make a few hundred dollars per month this way (or through traditional side jobs such as babysitting or) you can really boost your savings.
It can be a long process to save enough for a down payment. So why not break it into smaller goals and give yourself a reason to celebrate when you hit each one? Instead of waiting until you have $30,000 saved to celebrate, allow yourself a meal at your favorite restaurant when you reach every $5,000 interval. That way, you'll never get bored or lose focus because you'll be looking forward to that next reward. Make it fun, and allow yourself some moments to celebrate along the way.

LOS ANGELES -- California, often known as a "green" state because of its progressive energy legislation, recently showed that its universities also embrace this reputation. On January 29, 2010, UCLA Anderson students won the first annual Acciona Renewable Energy Case Competition (RECC) at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. The competition invited the top business schools in the nation, including teams from Harvard, Duke, Columbia, and UC Berkeley.
UCLA Anderson students Dave Castle ('10), Hiromasa Ebihara ('10), Adam Green ('10), Andrew Hunt ('10), and Pok Hoo ('10) gave a 25-minute presentation about storing and developing wind and solar power for Acciona, a sustainability company in North America. After proceeding into the final round, the competition committee added a twist to the case; Acciona was ready to move forward and initiate a contract with Southern California Edison for prices of solar and wind energy.
The teams had a lunch break to accommodate for the change and adjust their presentations accordingly. Luckily for the Anderson team, a few of its members had worked for Edison and incorporated their knowledge into the presentation. "We saw the judges pause for a minute before they thought of a question during the Q&A session. I figured we did a great job," said Hunt. At the reception, Hunt said, "We received a lot of positive feedback from other teams. And when we found out we won the competition, we were really stoked!" The UCLA team was awarded $2,500 and invited back for next year's competition.

The Washington Post reports that Penny Pritzker, the 255 th wealthiest American, is in the running to be President Barack Obama's next Commerce Secretary — and may have already topped the list.
Pritzker, the CEO of PSP Capital Partners and Pritzker Realty Group, is estimated to have a net worth in excess of $1.8 billion, accumulated in part through her inheritance.
To many, this pick may reek of patronage - Pritzker was national co-chair of Obama for America 2012 and bundled at least $500,000 for the President's re-election campaign.
CNN notes that Pritzker was also a leading candidate for the position back in 2008, but took herself out of the running because of fears she wouldn't be confirmed due to her past business dealings.
Superior Bank, in which her uncle held a majority stake and she served as chairman until 1994, failed in 2001 after the bank's holdings of subprime mortgages exploded. The bank was ultimately taken over by the FDIC.
Pritzker would replace acting Secretary Rebecca Blank, who stepped in to fill the position after John Bryson resigned from the post following a series of hit-and-runs.
This Pritzker pick would continue the tradition of high-powered business executives, such as Bill Daley and Peter Peterson, stepping into this role.

Broken iPod Touch Home Button Work Around Using SBSettings Close Button Widget
Once you jailbreak your iPhone or iPod Touch there are tons of benefits available to you in the form of innovative applications that are not locked down by Apple. One of my iPod Touch's is pretty beat up and no longer under warranty so I use it to test all sorts of things including being the first device I ever installed Cydia and Icy on. Anyhow the Touch device actually has a semi busted LCD screen, a broken power button, and a broken home button. On a iPhone running default firmware you would be pretty much out of luck if the home button or power button was not working but once the device is jailbroken then you can get around all of these issues easily.

Susan Granger's review of 'Blended'
Out of curiosity, I looked up the definition of the verb "blend": "To combine so that the separate things mixed together cannot be distinguished." I guess that's truth in advertising for this innocuous romantic comedy that traces its inception back to TV's "The Brady Bunch."
A manager at Dick's Sporting Goods, Jim (Adam Sandler) is a slovenly widower with three daughters. Bubbly Lauren (Drew Barrymore) is an uptight divorcee with two sons who runs a closet-organizing service with her best friend Jen (Wendi McKlendon-Covey). In the film's opening scene, they're on a blind date at Hooters that, predictably, is disastrous, despite their matching white minivans.
After agreeing never to speak to one another again, these Connecticut single parents "meet cute" at a drug store, where Jim's buying tampons for his teen while Lauren's replacing her teen's girlie magazine, which she ripped up. Then, because of a credit card mix-up, they coincidentally wind up at a fabulous South African safari resort, where they're forced to share the same suite for a week. That's the awkwardly laborious set-up. Their respective broods include hormonal teens (Disney Channel star Bella Thorne and Braxton Beckham) with variously troubled moppets (Kyle Red Silverstein, Emma Fuhrmann and Alyuvia Alyn Lind). Among the other vacationers are Kevin Nealon with jiggly Jessica Lowe as his young, trophy wife and Zak Henril as his teenage son, along Abdoulaye N'gom as the resort's social director and Terry Crews as its Greek Chorus.
Barrymore and Sandler have teamed up twice times before: "The Wedding Singer" (1998) and "50 First Dates" (2004). Those films were far better than this drivel.
Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera script formulaically -- by the numbers -- and it's cartoonishly directed by Frank Coraci ("The Wedding Singer," "The Waterboy") with wildlife action that includes an ostrich ride and rhinos copulating. But the overall production suffers from ineptly focused photography, mismatched edits and badly synced dialogue.
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Blended" is an indistinguishable 4, a forgettable, if family-friendly farce.

ST. PAUL, MN -- The city council of St. Paul, MN, voted unanimously Wednesday night to uphold the $500 fines of two Anytime Fitness franchisees in St. Paul for not having CPR-trained staff on the premises at all times at the 24-hour key-card clubs.
The city council followed the recommendation by Minnesota Administrative Law Judge Beverly Jones Heydinger, who on April 17 upheld the fines that were first levied last December.
Kathy Lantry, one of the seven city council members, said the Anytime Fitness franchisees failed to present their cases Wednesday night.
"It was sort of a no-brainer," Lantry told Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro. "There was a very narrow issue that was before the city council last night, and that was, did they follow the ordinance that's currently in place? And the answer was clearly they did not. They didn't even dispute the fact that they didn't have anybody on staff. There was no other way to vote last night. None."
The ordinance was originally put in place in 1989 to crack down on prostitution rings in sex clubs. The ordinance was amended in 1992 to include the clause about having a CPR-trained staff member on the premises at all times.
Chapter 427.07, Section 12 of the St. Paul ordinance reads: At least one (1) employee or manager, trained and qualified in first aid and CPR according to standards established by rule by the department of safety and inspections shall be on duty at all times that the licensed premises are in operation or open to members or the public. Such standards shall be in conformity with standards and guidelines established by the American Red Cross with respect to water safety instructors or by the American Heart Association for similar purposes.
Anytime Fitness corporate spokesperson Mark Daly says that the company is working with St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman to change the language of the ordinance, specifically on the interpretation of what "on duty" means. However, the mayor can't introduce legislation to the council, Lantry says. Ordinance changes require a council member to sponsor and introduce the change to the council. A majority vote (4-3) of the city council would be required to then enact the change, she says.
Although Anytime Fitness club owners can be reached by their cell phones at anytime and their clubs have panic buttons and emergency necklaces for members, that still does not satisfy the requirements of the law, Lantry says.
"Our ordinance requires that someone be on duty," Lantry says, not just be available by cell phone to "do CPR sort of remotely, apparently. It was an argument that could not fly, and didn't."
Joe Wittwer, who along with his brother, Jason, own one of the two fined Anytime Fitness clubs, said that he was disappointed that the city council upheld the judge's ruling.
"The decision will make it very difficult for us to operate our business under our Anytime Fitness model here in St. Paul," Joe Wittwer read from a prepared statement. "We're looking to work with the city council. We're willing to work with the city as far as making some concessions, giving police special access to our club. We've got nothing to hide."
Wittwer added that his brother and he have about 30 days to comply with the law and hire staff.
"We haven't made the final decision on whether we're going to staff for the whole 24 hours a day or maybe close down for a few hours a night," said Wittwer, who added that he and his brother plan to pay the fine within the next 30 days.
Lantry said she talked with Jason Wittwer several months ago, shortly after the club opened. The club is located in her ward.
"We had a very candid conversation about the fact that if he wanted to open this club, he was going to need to pay someone to be there anytime the club was opened who was CPR trained," Lantry says.
If the two Anytime Fitness clubs continue to operate without staff, they could face escalating fines, Lantry says. Several violations could result in a revoking of their licenses, she adds.
"In St. Paul, people actually need to follow the law," Lantry says. "That's what happens here."

Also, I just watched the first episode from ToTan. The quality of the group was at a much higher level then I expected it to be, and if you look closely in the opening you just might find a certain moderator in the credits...
Anyway, the episode itself was amazing. I loved it. It couldn't have been more faithful to the manga and that's why the episode was so entertaining. Although there was no action, the story itself is appealing and slowly it'll draw you in.

I hope they can change the story a little bit......
and another issue i'm worrying about is..that

Just finished watching Monster . . . hmm . . . Honestly, I'm not a big fan of completely serious anime, I prefer characters with a little humor in their personality, a little Tezuka in their design, and above all, flashy OP and ED's. That's why I love FMA so much. ^^ Of course, I understand that this couldn't be done with the subject matter involved. I guess my logic is that if you're going to draw an anime so realistically, you might as well just go live-action.
That said, the first episode was still quite good, nice mystery there, and I think I'll follow it regardless to see those surprises you guys were talking about. I also want to commend ToTen for doing a surprisingly excellent job for the short time they worked on it -- I really like how you subbed the ED.

Monster reminds me (somewhat) of things like The Fugitive and Robin Cook's novels i.e. non-anime stuff.
It's still good though, so I'll be following this show anyway.

Live action is too expensive, especially in a case like this where the whole series is set in Europe. If it was a series set in Japan then, yeah, I could understand going the live action route (ala Yasha, especially since Yoshida's work isn't suitable for animation at all), but for something like Monster, there's just no way.
I don't find myself minding dramatic anime works. I like my fantasy/action as much as the next person, but I'll take a great anime drama along with them any day of the week. Especially if it's as good as Monster.

What a nice first episode i have to say^^ I always wanted to buy the manga over at our local japanese book store but it never really happened. Now i know about a definate candidate on my next shopping list^^
So far i'm really impressed and i really hope the studio can keep this rather high animation standard.
As a nice bonus it's nice to see an anime with a setting that i can relate to much better than usual. An astonishing fondness for details went into this show, so let's hope for the best for future episodes.

I downloaded the first episode and for some reason or another its not playing properly. I have most codecs but is there one that you specifically need for totan releases? I tried to play it in real player and Windows media player and both worked for the first 5 secs then the footage paused and the audio continued. When I played it in quicktime the footage worked fine but no audio I then deleted it and redownloaded it thinking it was just a corrupted file but unfortunately the same problems remain help please?

1) Avoid using realplayer or quicktime as much as possible.
2) Get the latest Divx or Xvid codec. (just google for them)
3) Still doesn't work? Then go to the site/irc channel of the translation group to see if a specific codec is required.
If all that didn't help (unlikely) post in the 'playback help' forum.

in silent opposition
This has got to be the first anime of the new season that I'm positive I will be downloading the rest of. I'm a fan of kookier animes but it's the psychological thrillers that I really enjoy. Looking forward to a year and a half of this.
Also I'm incapable of hating a show with creepy violin music (whoo)..that and I swear the opening song is a remix of #2 right off my boys choir CD.
edit/ That song!! Im positive its the one they used. I'd never mistake that chord. Lully, Lulla, Thou Little Tiny Child- also known as the coventry carol. The lyrics to the one part of the Monster OP (at the very beggining and also at the window) are
Herod, the King, In his raging
(and the rest follows-not in the OP)
Charged he hath this day
His men of might,
In his own sight,
All young children to slay
I should look it up if I want to sound intelligent but the song is basically about Herod, in looking for baby Jesus he goes and kills every boy under two years of age.
yes, Im a geek -_- I thought someone might find that interesting though

Interesting, I'll keep watching this. I always liked medical dramas, although it seems like the Doctor won't be one for long. But the drama aspect intrigues me.
One thing, I think the director is just doing things to increase his position/fame, but wouldn't more people be saved if funding to the hospital is increased? I know it's crappy to say 'let the little boy be operated on by an idiot doctor' but how many other little kids will now die because of not having a state of the art piece of equipment in the hospital from extra funding?
Just food for thought. The medical industry is a crappy place where things like that are common place.

Avatar Back Shortly
I've never read the manga, but the premise of this show seems to rest on Dr. Tenma and his decisions and thier consequences, which require our serious examination. If there are altruistic motives in the director's part, as versus what we've seen in a greedy old hospital chief, the water becomes effectively muddied. Dr. Tenma's decisions, whether based on guilt, altruism, or resentment, or all of the above, are made clear and justified because of the sheer greed of the director displayed to him, and to us, the audience. And in a good drama, or performance art in general, Objective, Motivation, and Justifications are everything.

Yup, I'd bet the director is definitely not thinking about saving more people when he talks about the extra funding. Also Dr. Tenma "betrayed" the director not just because he wanted to do the "right thing", it was also because

Monarchs Reign Supreme Over CAA Tournament
By ODU Athletics
March 7, 2011
RICHMOND, Va.- Frank Hassell scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Old Dominion withstood a furious second-half rally by Virginia Commonwealth on Monday night and defended its Colonial Athletic Association tournament title with a 70-65 victory. The victory was ODU's sixth overall CAA Tournament crown, two more than any other school in the league and the first back-to-back champion since UNC Wilmington did it in 2002 and 2003.
A sellout crowd of 11,200 were in attendance at the Richmond Coliseum.
Kent Bazemore added 14 points as the Monarchs (27-6) won their ninth straight and 13 of the last 14 to claim the league's automatic NCAA tournament berth.
Regular season champion George Mason is expected to receive an at-large invitation.
The Rams (23-11) trailed by 18 in the second half, but got within 55-54 with 4:26 left before the Monarchs scored on consecutive possessions, rebuilding the lead to five, and hung on.
Bradford Burgess led VCU with 19 points and Jamie Skeen had 18.
The Rams advanced to the finals after beating Drexel on a buzzer-beater and then handing top-seeded George Mason its first loss in 17 games, they came up short against their rival.
Trailing 46-28 with 16 1/2 minutes left, VCU went on a defense-led 26-9 run that had the crowd in its home city roaring at a deafening level, even after the Monarchs answered with their consecutive putbacks.
As Ben Finney stepped to the line with 15.3 seconds left and his team ahead 69-62, the smaller contingent of Monarchs fans chanted "O-D-U! O-D-U!" to celebrate the Monarchs' league-best sixth tournament title.
Old Dominion led 50-39 and had ended an 11-0 burst by VCU with consecutive baskets by Hassell, but the Rams rallied again.
Joey Rodriguez hit a 3-pointer, Skeen followed a free throw with a putback and then made a reverse layup and was fouled. The free throw pulled the Rams within 51-47. Hassell's basket pushed the lead back to 53-47, but Burgess hit a pair of free throws and then followed a miss with a tip-in, and it was 53-51 with 5 minutes left.
Chris Cooper's first field goal doubled the lead, but Burgess hit a 3-pointer from the left corner, cutting it to one before Cooper scored on a tip-in, and Bazemore followed with another. The Monarchs extended their advantage to seven in the closing minutes to win the season's third game between the state rivals.
Leading 39-26, the Monarchs opened the second half on a 7-2 run to open their largest lead at 46-28. But with their NCAA hopes fading fast, the Rams responded, sparked in part by their more urgent fullcourt defense.
Rob Brandenberg hit a jumper, Burgess followed with a putback and Skeen dunked off an inbound play. With the VCU defense getting nine consecutive stops, a 3-pointer by Brandon Rozzell and a putback by Burgess made it 46-39, capping an 11-0 spurt, and the crowd in VCU's home city grew deafening.
But a timeout seemed to settle Old Dominion, and two straight baskets by Hassell halted the Rams' momentum, rebuilt the lead to 50-39 and once again put VCU in position to have to succeed at both ends.
ODU who leads the nation in rebound margin again dominated the boards with a 38-23 rebound margin as Hassell hauled down a game high nine rebounds, followed by Bazemore and Ben Finney with six each.
ODU shot .585 (24-41) from the floor, while VCU was .397 (23-58). The Monarchs shot .636 in the first half.
ODU's seniors Ben Finney, Frank Hassell, Darius James and Keyon Carter have now won a school record 97 games during their careers which include beating VCU in the city of Richmond four times, twice in the Siegel Center and twice in the CAA Tournament home - The Richmond Coliseum.
Frank Hassell was named the Tournament MVP and was joined on the All Tournament squad by teammate Kent Bazemore along with Bradford Burgess of VCU, Charles Jenkins of Hofstra, Cam Long of Mason and Jamie Skeen of VCU.
Bazemore led ODU with six assists and also game up with three steals. Junior Trian Iliadis added 10 points off the bench and three steals as well. For Head coach Blaine Taylor, ODU's winningest men's basketball coach with 215 in 10 years gets his third CAA title and will be taking ODU to its fourth NCAA Tournament during his tenure.

VMware AppDefense is a data center endpoint security product that protects applications running in virtualized environments. Rather than chasing after threats, AppDefense understands an application's intended state and behavior, then monitors for changes to that intended state that indicate a threat. When a threat is detected, AppDefense automatically responds.
Automatically adapt workload and network security policies as an application changes.Find out How
vSphere Platinum combines the capabilities of vSphere and AppDefense to deliver advanced security fully integrated into the hypervisor.Read the Blog
AppDefense doesn't produce a lot of alerts, but when it raises the alarm it's smart to listen. The authoritative alerts generated by AppDefense coupled with automated response capabilities allow the SOC to focus on catching and eradicating threats from their environment, rather than sifting through noisy data and investigating threats that aren't there.
In the world of modern application development, applications are launched, changed, and decommissioned rapidly. By the time a security team learns of the existence of a new application, it has often already changed. AppDefense creates a common source of truth between application teams and the security teams, streamlining the security review and readiness process.
From inside the vSphere hypervisor, AppDefense has an authoritative understanding of how data center endpoints are meant to behave and is the first to know when changes are made. This contextual intelligence removes the guesswork involved in determining which changes are legitimate and which are real threats.
Because AppDefense is installed in the vSphere hypervisor, it has an isolated, protected environment from which to continually monitor data center endpoints. This reduces the chance of AppDefense itself being compromised.
When a threat is detected, AppDefense uses vSphere and VMware NSX Data Center to automate the correct response. AppDefense can automatically:
School District Gets Proactive with Security
Hutto Independent School District uses AppDefense and NSX Data Center to address critical security gaps without expanding their small IT team.
"It's the unknown threat that we are most concerned about and AppDefense is going to help us be as proactive as possible. It's a new generation of security."

Career Services hosts Career Makeover
Tuesday, April 16, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
The professionals in Pittsburg State University's Office of Career Services know that studying hard and getting good grades is just one step on the way to a great career. That's why the office is sponsoring Career Makeover from 4-5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17, in the Crimson and Gold Ballroom of the Overman Student Center.
Career Makeover is designed to help students make a good first impression when it is time for the big job interview.
"In a competitive market in which there may be multiple applicants for a job, first impressions can be the difference between landing a job or getting passed over," said Mindy Cloninger, director of the PSU's Office of Career Services.
Students at Career Makeover will get tips and instruction on everything from improving their resumes to dressing properly for a job interview. Guys can get hands-on practice tying neckties and live models will demonstrate both the "do's" and "don'ts" of attire for interviews.
A panel of employers will answer questions and discuss interviewing and hiring practices. At one station, students may get free photos taken for professional networking sites.
"The event is designed to be both fun and informative," Cloninger said. "We know these students are eager and well prepared for the work place. Our goal is to help them get that opportunity."

Christina Aguilera was spotted hanging out at the happiest place on earth Sunday.
Her trip to Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. marked the first time the 33-year-old singer was seen since it was revealed that she was pregnant with her second child in late February.
The The Voice judge covered her barely there baby bump in a loose white top and a grey cardigan.
News of Aguilera's pregnancy comes weeks after the Burlesque actress revealed she and boyfriend Matt Rutler where engaged.
The child would be Aguilera's second as she already has a 6-year-old son, Max, with her ex-husband Jordan Bratman. The two split in 2011.
The Grammy-winning singer has not yet confirmed the news about baby number two.

One can easily find a set of functions that are comparable with respect to the big O notation that is, $$f \leq g \Leftrightarrow \exists c \exists x_0 \forall x\geq x_0: |f(x)| \leq c|g(x)|,$$ for $f,g \in \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and continuous.
For example, a set containing all products of polynomials, logarithms, exponential functions and factorial is good. However, it is not a maximal one (e.g. $\ln \ln x$ is lesser than all of its elements).
According to Kuratowski-Zorn lemma, there is a maximal set of comparable functions. My questions are:
- Is there one canonical maximal set of comparable functions with respect to big O notation?
- Is there an explicit construction of any such set?
- There was $\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty} |f(x)| \leq C|g(x)|$ which was in my intention an informal notation for the above ($\lim$ about the whole inequality, not only the left hand site).
- However, I do not cling to the definition (especially if some tinkering is going to give more interesting results).

Now investigators are saying it isn't the footwear to blame but the woman's boyfriend, who is being charged with manslaughter. Apparently after getting stuck in the tracks, two strangers came and assisted the woman, freeing her, but once her foot was released, the boyfriend encouraged her to go ahead and run in front of the train to cross to his side of the platform, rather than wait for the train to pass. He was annoyed at the idea of missing his ride. [Daily Mail]

Dita Von Teese
Burlesque and the Art of the Teese/Fetish and the
Release Date: 3/1/2006
LIST PRICE: $39.99 (you save $10.02)
Main description:
On one side, Dita Von Teese shares the beauty of the burlesque world, with bubblegum dreams and show tunes to strip to. Flip over for fantasies in fetish with dramatic costumes and the allure of submission.
Burlesque and the Art of the Teese
"I advocate glamour. Every day. Every minute."
I'm a good dancer and a nice girl, but I'm a great showgirl. I sell, in a word, magic. Burlesque is a world of illusion and dreams and of course, the striptease. Whether I am bathing in my martini glass, riding my sparkling carousel horse, or emerging from my giant gold powder compact, I live out my most glamorous fantasies by bringing nostalgic imagery to life.
Let me show you my world of gorgeous pin-ups, tantalizing stripteases, and femmes fatales. I'll give you a glimpse into my life, but a lady never reveals all.
Fetish and the Art of the Teese
You may have come for the fetish. Or you may just be sneaking a peek at this mysterious and peculiar other side. No matter what you've come for, there is something for you to indulge in.
My world of fetish may not be the one that you would expect. As a burlesque performer, I entice my audience, bringing their minds closer and closer to sex and then -- as good temptress must -- snatching it away. As a fetish star, I apply the same techniques. . . .
An opera-length kid leather glove, a strict wasp waist, an impossibly high patent leather heel, a severely painted red lip. . . . Come with me into my world of decadent fetishism.
Review quote:
"Dita Von Teese [is] the queen of the new burlesque renaissance."

"Dita Von Teese doesn't just look like the ultimate vamp. She actually is."

Waite D-3 District Rankings (Off-Season #1)
I love doing these rankings, but as it has been pointed out before, they are just for fun. To any wrestlers who read these and feel that they are ranked too low, you may be right.
I am bound to be wrong on many of the rankings, but fortunately they have absolutely no impact on how anyone will finish at any tournament this season or any other year.
These off-season rankings will start off with the wrestlers listed at the weights that they wrestled in the 2016-2017 season.
Ill move wrestlers up and down as the off-season progresses (and add the incoming freshmen into the rankings eventually). Feel free to let me know if anyone has inside information about new weights, schools, or wrestlers that they think should be added.
I will also move teams up and down when the new divisional breakdowns are available.
* = unsure about participation
# = 2 wrestlers from the same team listed (I will add additional wrestlers to the rankings at these weights)
-The schools of the incoming freshmen are based off of the previous Yappi thread. Please let me know if any are wrong or have changed.
1. Oscar Sanchez- Genoa (1st state)

Later, Oscar would bump up to 113 at the St. Marys D-3 Duals where he beat 2x state placer Dylan Burns 5-3 in the final.
Sanchez rolled through the sectional and district tournaments where an 8-3 district finals win over Jared Fahrer was the only bout that was limited to a decision.
He bested 4th place finisher Collin Yinger 11-4 in the state quarterfinals the next week before knocking off his greatest threat Ethan Turner 4-1 in the semifinals. Sanchez ended his year with a 14-2 major over Wyatt Riddle to claim his first state gold medal.

He went 0-2 at Ironman but the two losses were 5-3 and 4-1 respectively to D-1 state placers Michael North and Josh Breeding.
Morgillo posted a 3-2 overtime win over state placer Gavin Grime at the D-3 duals while bumping up to 132.

Grime earned a 3rd place finish at the district tournament where he beat returning state qualifier Daniel Price 4-3 in the tiebreak in the quarterfinals.

McNett was a stalwart performer last season beating returning state placer Adam Bates (5-2) in a dual meet, downing Drew Newton 5-3 in sudden victory at Perrysburg, and besting state qualifier Eick 3-0 in the NBC Tournament.
At the state tournament, McNett beat Billy Luft 9-3 in the first round of consolation bouts to reach the blood rounds. Here, he pinned Eick in the 3rd period to avenge a loss from the sectional finals and earn a spot on the podium. McNett added a default win over 2x state placer Chase Sumner in his final bout to land a 7th place finish.

4. Collin Mancuso- (Milan) Edison (6th district 2015)
5. Rico Lopez- Mohawk
6. Brody Degryse- Edgerton
7. Brian Floyd- Evergreen
8. Bryer Bentley- Montpelier
Ive underrated Villarreal both of the past two seasons, and hes placed increasingly higher at state tournament at the end of both years.
He earned a 5-3 win over fellow state placer Adam Bates in their state dual showdown last year down at 145 before making the savvy move to jump up to 152 for the post season.
Villarreal placed 3rd at sectionals and 2nd at the district tournament, posting wins over Franks (6-1), Mancuso (13-3), Lopez (6-0), and state placer Bailey Slattman (9-7) at the two events.
In Columbus, Villarreal picked up a win by DQ over state placer Wyatt Lefker in the first round of the state tournament before pinning eventual 5th place finisher Forest Belli in the quarterfinals to reach his first state semifinals and pick up a second podium finish.
1. James Limongi- Genoa (1st state)
2. Connor Kwiat- Calvert (SQ)
3. Parker Brown- Mohawk (5th district, SQ 2016)
4. Garrett Mapes- Oak Harbor (6th district)
5. Brady Jaso- Gibsonburg
6. Ty Hussar- Rossford (6th district 2016)
7. Austin Grubb- Montpelier
8. Juan Castillo- Tinora
Incoming Freshman:
Connor Oberhouse Eastwood (8th middle school state)
Limongi continues to impress me more and more every time I see him wrestle.
I wasnt aware of him at all until I saw him put on a sterling performance at Medina during his freshman year.
He started last season at 152 where he wrestled at Ironman, but was out of the line-up for about a month after that.
Upon his return, Limongi wrestled 160, posting a pair of dual meet wins over state qualifier Parker Brown and a pair of pins over Ty Hussar at the NBC and sectional tournaments.
He added a 3rd win over Brown in the district quarterfinals the next week before pinning state placer Jonah Brown in the semifinals and besting Dalton Burns 3-1 in sudden victory in the finals to claim his first district title.
Limongi would be even better at the state tournament, downing 3x state placer Luke Sorboro 3-0 in the quarterfinals to secure a spot on the podium.
Not satisfied with just placing, Limongi, pinned Steele Strout in the semifinals and toughed out a 1-0 win over Lance Miller in the finals to claim a state championship as a sophomore.
1. Bailey Mendoza- Gibsonburg (5th state)
2. Xavier Beach- Genoa (5th district)
3. Jackson Hart- Fairview
4. Tim Meyer- Tinora
5. John-Mason Neer (Milan) Edison
6. Cade Rogers- (Ashland) Crestview
7. Jacob Laplante- Rossford
8. Seth Welch- Eastwood
Mendoza is another Gibsonburg wrestler who I overlooked last year, and he like his teammate Villarreal, ended his season on the state podium.
He earned a championship at Van Buren where he posted an impressive 8-4 win over state qualifier Noah Baker in the finals.
Mendoza added a second win over Baker (7-6) and a win over state qualifier Trevor Mack (10-3) at the sectional tournament to claim the title.
The next week he stepped up his performance to an even higher plateau, knocking off returning state finalist Cole Draper 3-2 in the district semifinals on the way to another tournament title.
Mendoza reached his first state semifinal after beating Christian Blank (10-4) and Jonathan Moorman (9-3) in the first two rounds of the tournament. He closed out his season with a 6-5 win over Chris Langguth in the 5th place final to cement himself as one of the state title threats for the 2018 season.
1. Tanner May- Carey (6th state)
2. Dylan Rogers- Delta (6th district)
3. Colton Campbell- (Ashland) Crestview
4. Aiden Loveridge- Riverdale
5. Hunter Wymer- N. Baltimore*
6. Tche Leroux- Monroeville
7. Brock Martin- Seneca E.
8. Mitchel Reisinger- Swanton
May was an immediate impact performer as a freshman last year, placing 6th at the state tournament to conclude the year.
He picked up a 16-8 major over state qualifier Mason Burger in the state duals and added a tournament title at Lima C.C. where he pinned state qualifier Tyler Ebbeskotte in the finals.
May placed 4th at his first district tournament losing only to state 3rd and 4th place finishers Grossman and Jaso by a point apiece.
He posted an 8-3 win over district champ Austin Carroll in the first round of the state tournament and added a 5-1 win over 7th place finisher Jerome Bey in the quarterfinals to lock up a 6th place finish.
1. Sam Stoll- (Milan) Edison (7th, 4th state)
2. Dylan Hinton- Elmwood (SQ)
3. Caleb Carpenter- Liberty Center (SQ)
4. Jacob Sage- Oak Harbor (5th district)
5. Crew Oberheim- Swanton (SQ)
6. Joseph Shirley- Calvert (6th district)
7. Gabe Scott- Genoa
8. Noah Grochowalski- Galion
Stoll followed his exceptional football season with a second state medal in a loaded 195 field this past year.
Among his plethora of wins was a 3-2 victory over returning D-2 state finalist Tony Banister at Ironman, and 8-3 win over state placer Garrett Bledsoe at Brecksville, and a 5-3 win over state placer Josh Bialosky at the D-3 Duals.
Stoll pounded the field at the sectional tournament and then beat state qualifiers Oberheim (0:55), Hinton (6-3), and Carpenter (4-2) consecutively at the district tournament to earn the title.
In Columbus, Stoll pinned Hunter Foster and Jacob Campbell and added a default win over 2x state placer Jake Burns while earning his second consecutive state medal.
1. Noah Price- (Fremont) St. Joseph C.C. (SQ)
2. Chris Kuhn- St. Marys C.C. (SQ)
3. Seth Bailey- Plymouth
4. Trevor Short- Archbold
5. Bryce Lutz- Buckeye Central
6. Greg Wilson- Swanton
7. Spencer Martin- Tinora
8. Zerich Magnall- Cory-Rawson
Price made a splash in his sophomore season, qualifying for his first state tournament and finishing a bout shy of placement.
Early in the year he beat state qualifier Kyle Walsh 9-3 in the finals at Northwood to claim the tournament title.
Price would later finish 2nd to state champ Dylan Thorp at the SBC Tournament where he defeated Chris Kuhn 3-1 in the quarterfinals.
A few weeks later, Price bested returning state qualifier Tyler Tudor 10-5 in the consolation semifinals of the district tournament of earn his first set of state tickets.
Despite falling in the blood round, Price posted a 3-2 win over returning state placer Hunter Bodkin in the first consolation round.
1. Mason Weldon- Galion (SQ)
2. Tommy Lytle- Swanton (SQ)
3. Lane Fry- (Ashland) Crestview
4. C.J. McCrimmon- St. Marys C.C.
5. Noah Koch- Genoa
6. Dakota Klotz- Lakota
7. Nick Maury- Calvert
8. John Hill- Arcadia
Weldon earned a sectional title on the merit of a 31 second pin over Maury in the finals.
A week later, he pinned McCrimmon, Wes Bok, and Lytle on his way to a 3rd place finish at the Waite District tournament, earning him a spot in his first state tournament.
Weldon also earned wins over Fry, Dillon Farley, and Ethan Brown over the course of the year.
His two losses at the state tournament were to state placers Seth Douglas and Brayden Phillips.
1. Genoa
2. Swanton
3. (Milan) Edison
4. Gibsonburg
5. Otsego
6. Oak Harbor
7. Tinora
8. Mohawk
The team rankings are based off of the returning wrestlers, and do not yet include incoming freshmen or last years reserve wrestlers who may be starting and contributing next season.
Genoa will be on the short list of teams who will be in the hunt for a state title in 2018.
They return 3 state champs, another state finalist, a state qualifier, and a state alternate.
Another wrestler to keep an eye on will be heavyweight Koch who will be a threat to qualify and place at state.
I dont know much about their incoming freshman other than Devin DEmilio who will be a force in the lower-weights if he can crack the dense Genoa line-up.
Swanton will likely be the deepest team in this district from top to bottom next season. They may not have the top end firepower to surpass Genoa at the state level, but a district title is certainly within the realm of possibility.
Lytle, Moore, Oberheim, Pachlhofer, and Schaller all return with state experience. Add in wrestlers like Anderson, Wilson, Saunders, Schaller, Reisinger, Marvin, Cook, and Leahey, and you have a team who could make a run at the state dual title.
Edison loses state champ Barnett, state placer Neuberger, and state qualifier Dalton Burns to graduation, but they still return a talented team that boasts state placers Stoll, Burns, and Adams.
Mancuso, Mina-Vasquez, Neer, and Warner will provide the added depth to this team that should have them in contention for another district trophy.
Gibsonburg will be a team on the rise this season. Led by state placers Villarreal and Mendoza, the team also has talented wrestlers like Brady Jaso, David Garcia, and Jon Auld who will all make a run at the state tournament.
Only Villarreal will graduate from that group, so they should push for a top 8 finish in 2019 as well.
A special thanks to Boro Fan for all the insight into the weights of the wrestlers, Baums Page and Jakes Wrestling for all of the results that they provide, and to any of the other wrestling nerds that actually read these things.

Always a good read Max.
I am willing to bet Otsego and Edison will be D-2 next year. I guess we find out today.

Thanks for the kind words and the update.
I'll start moving the teams around for the next set of rankings, and I'll try to start moving wrestlers around to weights that they may wrestle in the coming season.
They'll likely be pretty far off for a few months, but hopefully they'll gain accuracy as we approach the season.

At 145, Chase Moore and Wayne Frey wrestled in the quarter finals at districts and Frey came out on top 3-2 only surrending an escape and a stalling point in the biggest upset of the tournament.

And many questioned whether or not he tanked that match to have a smooth draw in the consolation rounds to get back to state...

I think Whizzer King is half right, Edison D3, Otsego is D2 along with ClearFork and Galion.
I also had 106 Griffith as a senior.
Did enjoy looking and thinking wrestling for next year.

A kid threw a match for an easier route? I'm not saying right, wrong or indifferent but that's odd.

Many times the 4th best wrestler is at the mercy of the bracket and may not make it out if they get bounced to the same side of the consies as the #3. I'm not saying right, wrong, or indifferent either.....but very intelligent if it was the case in this situation. And I believe all 4 state qualifiers from waite hit the podium at state because of it.
