Liberty assistant Preiser will help run ACAT tournaments
January 14, 2014 | Lynchburg, Va.
The Atlantic Collegiate Alliance of Taekwondo (ACAT) recently announced its first official board of directors and named Liberty University competitor and assistant coach Brian Preiser as vice president of tournament operations.
"Brian will work alongside students of other colleges to bring the competition in the Southeast to a degree never before seen on the collegiate level," Flames Head Coach Jesse Wilson said.
Wilson named Preiser his assistant coach last year after he received his third-degree black belt from Grandmaster Arthur W. Beins, a former Team USA assistant coach.
At Liberty, Preiser is a sophomore pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Youth Ministry.
ACAT consists of 10 schools in the Southeast — American, Clemson, Duke, Howard, Liberty, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth, Virginia Tech, and William & Mary — and is run primarily by students. It was established in 2012 with just four schools — Liberty, UVA, Virginia Tech, and William & Mary — as an unofficial way to start competing against one another. Since that time, Wilson and Preiser have worked diligently to bring in more respected college and university programs.
"Prior to this, there were no collegiate taekwondo competitions in the Southeast region of the United States, leaving all competitions to the Eastern Collegiate Taekwondo Conference (ECTC), which consists of approximately 30 colleges in the New York area," Wilson said, noting Liberty is a member of that league as well.

After the initial eye-blasting that a gigantic 64-inch television brings you, it is quite difficult to actually sit down and take stock of just how this Samsung plasma performs.
With an asking price of £2999 this is a set that really needs to impress. It is also up against some pretty tough plasma competition, so how does it fare?
We love the way that Samsung televisions look and the E8000 is definitely no exception. Sure, it might not have the near bezel-free style of Samsung's LED offerings, but it is certainly no slouch in the looks department either. The set uses a slightly offset grey colour around the actual panel, which we think looks great. It is a lot more understated than some of Samsung's other televisions and matches up nicely with the slightly more tame colours you get from a plasma.
For such a behemoth of a TV, measurements are important, as is weight. This we discovered when trying to carry it to the top of a three-floor appartment. The set is 97.9 x 148 x 35.1 cm in size and weighs a whopping 38.3Kg - we really would advise getting this thing professionally installed.
On the back there are three HDMI connections and one scart, a pair of USB ports, a component video socket, optical and a CI slot. Lots then. We would have like to see a few more HDMI ports on a TV this size and perhaps a few on either side, should you have a lot you want to connect up, but it's a minor niggle. It's also fair to assume that a lot of people will be installing this as a home cinema TV, and using an AV receiver to manage all their other devices and send a single HDMI feed over.
The silver effect stand is incredibly solid and sturdy and it looks good too, while keeping the set stable. It does take a bit of setting up out of the box, but nothing too demanding. Just make sure you have someone strong around when the TV arrives!
Now to the nub of the whole thing: the picture. At nigh-on £3000 you want this set to be the best looking thing on the planet, and to all intents and purposes it is. The 600Hz panel, 3D HyperReal Engine and the subfield motion tech all combine to make one seriously sweet picture.
With some content the E8000 looks just like any other high to mid-range set. It's where there is a lot of subtlety in picture that it really shines. The colours are truly sublime, and watching HD content is just a joy. Give it an image with lots of dynamic range and plenty of colour to play with and you end up with a natural, clean and crisp picture.
We know some like things to be ultra-vivid and for those people we suggest an LED, but for natural colour and great detail and contrast, the E8000 is as good as it gets for us. 3D is certainly good and the included slimline Samsung glasses are also great.
Blu-ray playback is absolutely stunning, with this set making some of your favourite films truly shine. The likes of Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner for example, with their subtle film tones, are perfectly suited to this television.
Don't forget that at 64-inches this is a big television set. You're going to need quite a serious living room in order to achieve optimal viewing distances. For HD content you want to be around 8.5 ft from the television, for SD around 17.5 ft.
Operation and extras
Being a Smart TV and all, the E8000 does things that are well, smart. This means stuff like Netflix and BBC iPlayer are built in, as apps, as well as the likes of Samsung's camera application and Twitter.
Normally we aren't really big fans of Smart TV content, the tech just feeling too much in its infancy to offer any sort of smooth experience. Samsung does do it best right now though and the E8000 is snappy and responsive when navigating smart content.
In the box with the E8000 was Samsung's voice-controlled universal remote. This we aren't such a big fan of for a few reasons. It certainly looks great, the problem is it just doesn't do a great job as a TV remote. The black area at the top of the remote is like a touch pad, except it's too small to use properly, making negotiating menus a bit of a nightmare.
Also built into the remote is a microphone, so you can use the voice control part of the television. This is also a bit of an irritation as it is limited in functionality. Why, for example, can you set the volume only to a maximum of 20 using voice, when the TV goes all the way up to 100?
Other than these fairly minor issues, the E8000 works really well. The whole set zips along and you get none of the lag that some other television UIs suffer from. In fact the only major issue we have is with the motion control, which will set itself off during random moments should someone stand up and move about the room. This can be seriously irritating during a movie-watching session.
So a great plasma TV then. No surprise really, given the cost, but what we expect most of you want to know is just how it stacks up against the similar competition. Panasonic retains the crown here, with picture quality just pipping the Samsung to the post.
Still, if it is an all-round smart TV experience you are after, with brilliant picture quality to boot, the E8000 is as good as it gets. We can't fault Samsung for its efforts with smart functionality and sure it might have its faults, but what is there is better than most. Back this up with the clean and natural picture you get from the set and you have quite a persuasive package.

At Philips, three pillars of that innovative response scenario are:
Also in January 2016, as a long-standing and valued industry partner of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), Philips and the EDBI, the corporate investment arm of the EDB, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly invest in select, high-potential digital health companies, especially in the area of Population Health Management, from around the world seeking to break into the Asian market through Singapore. Under the MoU, EDBI and Philips will focus on mid-to-late stage digital health companies, allowing them to set up base in Singapore with the goal to serve the Asian market for Population Health Management. The agreement will also create business opportunities, advance the local healthcare ecosystem and strengthen Singapore's position as one of the leading digital health hubs in Asia.
Philips strongly believes in these three basic pillars to address ageing and chronic diseases in ASEAN countries and aims to partner with local stakeholders in the region in this co-creation process.
Walter van Kuijen started his career at Philips in 1992 as a Marketing Specialist at Philips Industrial Electronics in the Netherlands. After further work in Product Management, Sales and Service and Marketing Management for Philips Medical Systems, Walter became the Director of the Sales and Services District Netherlands in 2001.

I am a recent member of the Harry Potter fandom, but I have always had a passion for the written word, and I hope to fulfill it here. I live in a relatively boring corner of Idaho, and I like Kokanee and a good book!
So, I suppose you're wondering what's up with my username. Even if you're not, this is how that happened. No, I was not aspiring to be a Gryffindor. I can't think of any house to which I would belong less than Gryffindor, in fact. It was a moment of clarity that I got while I was battling with myself about whether I should want to be Sorted into Gryffindor to be like Harry or to be Sorted elsewhere and follow my own path. I thought it to be much like the contemplative scene in Hamlet when he weighed taking his own life. I'm not trying to be melodramatic. That's simply is what popped into my head when I was trying to sign up to leave a review. :D
Any questions or comments about my work? Please shoot me an email at: firstname.lastname@example.com — I'd love to hear from you!

In recent years Facebook has become a tool for professional networking and on-the-job workplace productivity through its enterprise collaboration software, Workplace. In this webinar, Director of Accessibility Jeff Wieland and Director of Policy Monica Desai discuss why and how Facebook has made accessibility a priority.
Larry Goldberg of Oath and and Jeff Wieland of Facebook discuss how Teach Access is working with industry, academia, and advocacy groups to expand the quality and quantity of undergraduate programs that teach the fundamentals of accessibility.
The Paciello Group's Henny Swan argues that it's time to shift our thinking away from compliance by recognizing how accessible technology can enable people by design.

The Department of Education will spend nearly $100,000 next year to transport a single student with severe disabilities to and from school.
The student has debilitating conditions that require an advanced life-support ambulance, specifically one operated by Park Avenue Ambulance, which will be paid as much as $96,100 to cover his rides during the 10-month school year.
The cost is prorated, so if the student can't make it to class, that day's charge is waived.
Education officials had offered a substitute ambulance service that would have cost $200 a day less, but the child's mother filed for an impartial hearing where an arbitrator ruled in her favor after hearing testimony from the family's doctor and local school officials who were on her side.
A top DOE official also met with the mother and came away convinced that the more expensive route was the way to go, if only on purely humanitarian grounds.
"This is a very unique circumstance," said one source. "This particular [ambulance] crew knows how to handle this kid. This kid's really sick."
Officials said the student has been receiving ambulance services through the DOE since 2005. In 2010, when summer school was included, the contract was for $161,200.
It's only one case, but demonstrates how the city is caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to special education, which is governed largely by state and federal mandates that the city has no choice but to follow, regardless of cost.
A student's "individual educational plan" dictates the services he or she will receive, and that includes transportation.
Officials said about 100 disabled students receive ambulance services. Some students are transported to specialized instruction outside the five boroughs.
The Independent Budget Office reported that transportation costs for the 55,000 or so students in special ed have climbed from $712 million in 2010 to $805 million projected for the upcoming year, which includes summer school and associated costs such as insurance.

Your Engine is Shot ... Now What?
Two summers ago, the owner of 38' Sportfisherman in New Jersey got some bad news: both of his boat's 350 Chevy engines needed to be replaced. The owner consulted his marina manager who thumbed through some books and reported that replacing the new engines would cost $6,000 — apiece. The owner looked faint.
In an attempt to bring back his pinkish hue , the marina manger glanced back down at the book and announced, triumphantly, that since he was replacing two engines the cost would be less — $11,400 for both.
Even when a boat owner has followed a rigorous maintenance schedule, a marine engine won't last forever. Quite the contrary; shelling out thousands of dollars to replace a marine engine after only a few seasons of hard use (or neglect) isn't unusual. Pushing a prop through water is much tougher on an engine than pushing tires on a highway. Winter is also tougher, since most marine engines must be idle for several months.
The cost of replacing a worn-out engine isn't covered by an insurance policy. Boat owners typically take a careful look at other options — rebuilds and partial rebuilds — before shelling out thousands of dollars for a spanking new engine. When an owner finds a replacement engine that costs only a small fraction of what a new engine costs, should a light go off in his or her head?
The answer depends on whether the shop that did the work has a good reputation; whether the rebuilt engine is backed by a warranty, and how many parts will be replaced with new.
Remanufactured Engines
The most fundamental component of an engine is its block; a heavy, one-piece casting. Internal parts like pistons and crankshafts are likely to need replacement along with the block itself, so assembly is best done in a clean, well-equipped shop. There are large, state-of-the-art shops that specialize in "remanufacturing" most makes and models. PMC of Largo, Florida, has a huge inventory of engines it supplies to repairers and dealers. Jasper Engines and Transmissions in Jasper, Indiana, sells remanufactured engines to individual boaters at its 32 locations.
According to most experts, one of these remanufactured engines is comparable to a factory-new engine and they may even have similar warranties. Several degrees of remanufacture are available.
Short Blocks. Very few engines that need to be replaced are completely shot. Components such as the carburetor, manifolds, starter, head, alternator, etc. — called "bolt-ons" by mechanics — may be usable or at least capable of being reconditioned. Your mechanic or a marine surveyor can help you decide which parts from your old engine can be bolted on to your new engine. The more bolt-ons you use, the more money you'll save. A "short block" includes most of the critical moving parts and is a good choice when some internal parts failed, but the rest of the engine is relatively new. One note of caution: using heads, manifolds, etc. from your old engine makes it more likely that there could be a warranty dispute, should the engine fail.
Long Blocks. The next step up the spending scale is the "long block," which is a short block with the addition of the head and intake manifold. Installation includes bolting on a few parts like carburetor, starter, and alternator from your old engine. A boat can have a new engine relatively quickly with less skilled labor. And since most critical parts have already been installed on a long block, there is less chance of a warranty dispute, should the engine fail.
If the old engine has considerable hours and wear, the valves sound like a troupe of tap dancers, oil is weeping here and there, the manifolds have not been changed in years, and the pumps and carburetor are shot, it may be wise to opt for a new engine. This includes all major external components, ready to hook up and run, but without a transmission. (There is seldom need to replace a transmission.) Be sure to get a "marinized" — marine — engine. There are differences, including significant safety differences, and while a non-marinized engine might seem like a bargain, it may not be up to the more hostile marine environment.
Prices on new engines vary, and one former dealer told us that dealers work on a 20 to 30% margin. Don't be afraid to shop around for the best price.
Replacing an outboard engine presents somewhat more limited choices. Outboards are more difficult to rebuild, requiring special training and tools. However, factory authorized remanufactured "powerheads" (the outboard equivalent of a short block with heads) are available through some remanufacturers and most outboard dealers at a substantial savings over the new unit. Prices on new outboards can vary widely, especially on larger models. One BoatUS Member in Florida, to cite one example, reported paying $8,900 for a 150 HP outboard after being quoted $10,500 for exactly the same model by her marina. Smart lady.
