Plans are for the games Friday night and Sunday to be played at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex. Predicted rain problems could force a change in location.
The other teams in the tournament are Belmont, North Carolina-Asheville and Alabama A & M. Belmont (0-3-1) and Alabama A &M (1-5-0) will play tonight at 5 followed by the Bisons (2-2-1) and UNC-Asheville (1-4-1) at approximately 7:30.
"Asheville is a hard-working, blue-collar team," said Lipscomb coach Charles Morrow. "They are going to fight for everything." Asheville lost 2-1 to USC-Upstate Wednesday. The Bisons are 2-1 overall against Asheville, winning last season 3-1.
Morrow's team lost 2-0 to nationally-ranked Michigan State and then fell 3-0 Sunday to Michigan in the Michigan Invitational. He admits there are concerns about his team scoring goals, but he trying not to overemphasize the issue to his players.
"In the practice time we did have this week because of the rain we spent part of the time working on things like finishing," said Morrow. "It is either feast or famine and when it is a feast it doesn't seem like there is enough to go around.
"Scoring goals is always a concern for any coach. More so than scoring, there is a concern that we are creating chances. When looking at tape of Michigan State and Michigan we had plenty of opportunities. We have to do a better job of capitalizing on that."
Morrow knows that the lack of goals is something on the minds of his players.
"We have addressed it," said Morrow. "But if you let it consumer your thoughts the harder it is to find goals. I think if we keep playing the way we are playing the goals will come."
In the back Morrow has been pleased with the play of sophomore Jeremy Reid and junior Garrett McLaughlin, two players he rates as the most consistent on the team playing as defenders and midfielders.
"Jeremy played a number of different positions in Michigan," said Morrow. "Every aspect of his game he does pretty well. He defends pretty well. He attacks pretty well.
"Garrett has been pretty steady. He has been strong in the air. He has been vocal."
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 the Bisons will face Alabama A &M. They are coming off a 1-0 loss Wednesday in Lexington against No. 22-ranked Kentucky.
"A &M is traditionally an athletic and dangerous team," said Morrow. "They are good one vs. one. We will have to be very organized to deal with them. We will get a better look at what they are going to bring when they play Belmont."

text: Great Plains Unveils New Conference Center and Machines August 24, 2012 09:43 PM Tweet The 3S-5000, Great Plains' widest grain drill, can seed up to 30 acres an hour. Two subframes for each box provide precise seed placement. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Margy Eckelkamp Director of Content Development, Machinery Pete Email To show off new products and its new in-house conference center, Great Plains Manufacturing, Inc., held its 2012 national dealer meeting at its corporate headquarters in Salina, Kan. "Just as we do with our products, we're constantly updating our factories and facilities," explains Roy Applequist, who founded the company in 1976 and serves as president today. Completed at the beginning of 2012, the conference center, a 12,000-sq.-ft. addition to the corporate facilities, is wired with the latest audiovisual equipment for educational purposes. The company is also adding 60,000 sq. feet. to its manufacturing footprint in Salina, which will include more space for large-product assembly and a completely new paint line. With more than 315 dealers and 70 international visitors at the meeting, the company invited small groups to come through in waves to see its latest technology and products. Known for its grain drill lineup, Great Plains introduced its largest drill yet—the 3S-5000, which spans 50'. The seed boxes hold 3.2 bu. per foot, which totals 149 bu. of seed carrying capacity. The new machine can plant up to 30 acres an hour. The boxes can also be split for dry fertilizer application at planting. The 3S-5000 folds to a 15' width for transport, and is available in 6", 7.5" and 10" row spacings. Tillage tools. Since introducing the Turbo-Max last year, the company has designed more models, including a three-section 35' model and a five-section 40' model. The Turbo-Max requires 10 hp per foot. For enhanced residue sizing, the machine features two coulter gangs with a 7.5" spacing between each Turbo Coulter blade, and the rear gangs offset the front gangs, splitting the blade spacing to 3¾". The gang angles can be hydraulically adjusted from the cab by 0° to 6°. In the spring, the gangs can be straightened for one-pass seedbed preparation. For finishing, the Turbo-Max has a rolling harrow and reel combination at the rear to loosen soil, level the field and break up clods. Planters. Great Plains expands its Yield-Pro line with the YP-825R "Lift and Rotate" planter. This eight-row machine can be outfitted for 30", 22" and twin rows and features 25 Series row units and Air-Pro meters. The positive air meter system runs off a 6" fan that has a ported return for the hydraulics system, allowing the planter to be paired with older tractor models that are not outfitted with case drains and motor returns. The seed boxes each have a capacity of 1.6 bu. The YP-825R has a common monitor harness for a standard planter monitor or an optional AI-120 virtual terminal. The planter tongue is adjustable for transport and making tight end-row turns. For more information, visit www.greatplainsmfg.com. Back to news

Legacy technology is source for Intel's chipset woes and recall
Subject: Chipsets | January 31, 2011 - 08:56 PM | Ryan Shrout
Anandtech was able to get some information on the Intel 6-series chipset issue that was revealed earlier today and the problem appears to more technical that originally thought. After some discussion with one of Intel's VPs, the story is revealed.
The problem is with a single transistor in the Cougar Point chipset, one that with enough voltage, temperature and time can increase leakage to a point that will actually disconnect the SATA channel from the chipset. The PLL clock that is used for the SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports is different from that of the SATA 6.0 Gb/s channels, thus the reason those channels remain unaffected.
The source of the problem...
Probably the most disappointing part of this news is that, as Anandtech discusses, the transistor at fault is actually not required for the 6-series to function but is rather remnant logic from previous chipset designs. The solution that Intel glossed over in the conference call is to actually take this transistor out of commission by removing power to it.
Another interesting data point from Anand's story: Intel has only shipped 8 million 6-series chipsets and with $700M for recovery, that is about $87.50 per chipset to correct the problem. That should pretty much cover a replacement motherboard for most users.
If you have a Sandy Bridge system now, moving your drives to the SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports is the best solution to avoid any potential problems until the vendors work out the details of the recall. If you are using SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports today, you likely won't have any issues and should be okay waiting for the replacement. No word on whether Intel plans to make up the hassle to consumers with something like a free upgrade to the Z68 platform (that was due in March anyway) but we are eager to see how this all unfolds.
Feel free to leave your thoughts in our motherboard forum!! What do you think the vendors and Intel should be doing for consumers?

I once was kibitzing with a salesman in the firearms department of the Gander Mountain where we shoot, when he said offhandedly that "No one ever buys just one gun." I now understand why this is true. So this morning my son and I, both relative novices when it comes to firearms, drove north of the Twin Cities to a small town along the Mississippi River where a friend of mine has a gun shop and delivers first-rate firearms training. We inspected and test-fired several 9 mm. pistols; after a couple of hours, my son bought me, as a birthday present, an ArmaLite AR-24. We liked it because it handled easily and we shot more accurately with it than others we tested. Plus, I just thought it was a beautiful gun. Here it is:
My son, meanwhile, picked up a gun suitable for carrying, a Kahr. I think it may have been this one. It is a 9 mm., in any event:
Super-attentive readers may have noticed that a little over a month ago, I bought my son a Ruger for his birthday. Now he has reciprocated by buying me an ArmaLite for mine. Some might be so cynical as to suggest that this disinterested gift exchange was merely a ploy to sneak two guns past the guardian of the checkbook. But our readers could hardly have such a low view of human nature!
So, anyway, we will take our new firearms to the range either tomorrow or Monday.

Zac Rinaldo has been saying for years that if he ever got a chance to play on a top line, people would be surprised to see that he has more skill than they think. The lockout is going to give him that chance; he has been put on the Phantoms' top line with Sean Couturier and Brayden Schenn, two premium prospects.
This left me wondering: what should we expect of him? How many points would he have to put up to back up a claim that he has legitimate offensive talent that has previously gone untapped?
Gabe Desjardins put together some excellent conversion factors and concluded that AHL points are a little more than twice as easy to come by — you can multiply a player's AHL points per game by 0.45 to estimate roughly what he would have in the NHL.
But that's in a normal AHL, and if there's a protracted lockout this year, that would undoubtedly elevate the quality of play and make points harder to come by. So I got curious what we should expect for a translation factor this year.
To take a quick pass at that, I looked back at the last lockout. There were 76 forwards who played at least 40 games in the AHL in 2004-05 and then played at least 40 games in the NHL in 2005-06; let's look at how their performances compared and how that might inform our assessment of AHL performances during the current lockout.
Players who averaged x points per game in the AHL during the lockout went on to have x * 0.63 points per game in the NHL the next year. So at a first pass, that would be our translation factor for a lockout-strengthened AHL.
Of course, in 2005-06, the NHL put new rules in place that sharply increased the number of power plays and the amount of scoring. That year, scoring was 15% higher than AHL scoring had been the previous year, something that we should not necessarily expect to be true coming out of this lockout. If the league scoring rates are the same as last year, when the NHL had 3% fewer goals than the AHL, then we might revise that conversion factor down from 0.63 to 0.53.
However, that revision is probably a bit too sharp. It would be correct if everyone's scoring was uniformly inflated by 15% in the NHL that year, but that's not what happened — the increased penalties didn't affect everyone equally.
It is likely that the rookies coming out of the AHL got somewhat less than the average amount of power play time and therefore benefitted less than their veteran teammates from the increased number of penalties. So instead of applying a revision that assumes their scoring was inflated by 15%, we might assume something more like 8-12%, which would put the translation factor somewhere in the range of 0.55. Even after accounting for the comparatively wild 2005-06 NHL season, the improved competition in the AHL still gives us a translation factor higher than in a normal year.
So if Rinaldo wants to convince people that he has the skill to be a typical ~40-point second line winger at the NHL level, this is his chance — he just needs to average about 0.9 points per game in the AHL this year.

Bergman picks up first career win in return to Rockies
DENVER -- After using all eight relievers in a 13-inning win Saturday night, the Rockies desperately needed starter Christian Bergman to go deep in the game Sunday.
And that was far from given, seeing how Bergman had not pitched for the Rockies in two months and was making his fourth career start.View Full Game Coverage
DENVER -- After using all eight relievers in a 13-inning win Saturday night, the Rockies desperately needed starter Christian Bergman to go deep in the game Sunday.
And that was far from given, seeing how Bergman had not pitched for the Rockies in two months and was making his fourth career start.View Full Game Coverage
But he worked into the seventh and came away with his first Major League win as the Rockies beat the Marlins, 7-4, in the rubber game of their series to complete a 6-3 homestand.
Bergman suffered a broken bone in his left (non-pitching) hand when he was hit with a line drive in the third inning June 20. So he took the mound Sunday with a resume of 15 Major League innings and showed his rust by issuing two walks in the first, but he escaped unscathed.
"I just had to get a little bit of that extra energy out in the first inning," Bergman said. "I wouldn't say I was nervous, just kind of the excitement of being back out there. And once I got that out, I just kind of settled in and tried to attack the strike zone and get some quick innings."
Indeed, after throwing 38 pitches in the first two innings, Bergman got through the next four on a mere 43 pitches. He worked a career-high 6 1/3 innings, leaving after Christian Yelich and Jeff Baker hit back-to-back doubles with one out in the seventh and Giancarlo Stanton followed with a single that cut the Rockies' lead to 5-4.
The Rockies jumped on Brad Hand (2-6) for three runs in the first. Blackmon opened the inning with a single, and Drew Stubbs hit what looked like a possible double-play grounder to shortstop but beat the throw to first.
Nolan Arenado followed with a two-run homer, his 14th home run of the season. And two batters later, Michael McKenry hit his fifth homer.
"I gave the opposition a three-run lead in the first inning," Hand said, "and when I put my team in that situation, it's hard to come back from."
It's easier at Coors Field, but the Marlins managed to parlay 11 hits, including five doubles and two sun-aided triples, into just four runs, getting at least one runner aboard in seven innings but stranding eight runners.
DJ LeMahieu gave the Rockies breathing room in the seventh with a bases-loaded double with one out that drove in two runs and completed the scoring.
Closer LaTroy Hawkins retired the side in order in the ninth to earn his 20th save in 21 chances and preserve Bergman's milestone victory.
Bergman got 15 outs on balls hit in the air, 10 of which went to the outfield, but limited the Marlins to two hits in 10 at-bats with runners in scoring position.
"Fastball command was a little off today," Bergman said. "Got a little better as I went on. Didn't throw a whole lot of changeups. But when I did they were good. Was really just a steady diet of fastballs and cutters and sliders."
Bergman gave up two runs in the second when Hechavarria tripled with one out as right fielder Charlie Blackmon lost the ball in sun. Jeff Mathis followed with a run-scoring double, and with two outs, Yelich singled to cut the Rockies' lead to 3-2.
But just as Stubbs did in the first, Blackmon's hustle in the sixth proved crucial when he stretched a single into a double at the expense of right fielder Stanton and scored on Stubbs' double to give the Rockies a 5-2 lead.
"It's a situation where he's so far from second where if he comes up and does anything but throw the ball to second, I have a chance to get there," Blackmon said. "There was an opportunity to do it last night, but I felt it wasn't the time. Today, being they had two outs, even if I get thrown out, Drew Stubbs leads off the next inning."

Above: The cast of The REP's A Confluence of Dreaming at the Pittsburgh Playhouse includes Robert Turano, right, Bridget Connors and Sam Turich. Below: Point Park senior Connie Castanzo, shown with Turano and Connors, debuts with The REP playing daughter Morgan.
Point Park University's professional theatre company, The REP, closes its 2009-2010 season with a world premiere, A Confluence of Dreaming, written by Tammy Ryan and directed by John Amplas, from May 28–June 13, 2010.

She rediscovers long-lost thrill and passion in the secret, sexy world of cyberspace. Taking place in Pittsburgh during the summer of 2001, Carol solicits a face-to-face meeting with her online lover in New York City. When fantasy collides with reality in his studio apartment, Carol confronts the choices she's made against the desires she has suppressed in the quest for self-fulfillment.
The cast of four includes Bridget Connors as Carol, Robert Turano as Peter/Restaurant Owner, Sam Turich as Ted, and Point Park senior Connie Castanzo as Morgan/Waitress. Scenic design is by Stephanie Mayer-Staley; costume design is by Michael Montgomery; lighting design is by Andrew David Ostrowski; sound design is by Steve Shapiro; and video design is by Jessi Sedon.

ESPN reported former Giants closer Brian Wilson worked out for Mets GM Sandy Alderson in California.
The 30-year-old Wilson underwent Tommy John surgery last season and could be a decent risk on two fronts: 1) he's young enough to where he could replace Frank Francisco after 2013, and 2) if he rebounds the Mets could get something for him at the July 31 trade deadline.
Wilson is far from ready, so if the Mets bite it would be a gamble. Wilson says he'll be ready by Opening Day. Wilson made $8.5 million last year from the Giants.
Whether Wilson replaced Francisco this year or next is irrelevant. If he's healthy he could aid a currently weak bullpen.
METS COULD HONOR PIAZZA: I voted for Mike Piazza for Cooperstown, so I have no problem with him going into the Mets' Hall of Fame.
Reportedly, the team is also considering retiring Piazza's No. 31. I don't have a problem with that, either, but there are other worthy candidates the club should think about first, notably Keith Hernandez, Darryl Strawberry, Gary Carter and Dwight Gooden.
All were significant members of the team's most dominant era.

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — Bill Haas is the defending champion and an afterthought at the Quicken Loans National. He would have expected nothing less.
Tiger Woods is back at Congressional.
And this time, the tournament host will be doing more than just handing out the trophy.
Woods returns to competition Thursday for the first time in three months because of back pain that showed up occasionally, then more frequently, and ultimately led him have surgery just a week before the Masters.
It's the second-longest hiatus of his career next to the eight months he missed from knee surgery in 2008 after he won the U.S. Open.
"I'm not the one that moves the needle here on this tour," Haas said with a smile. "So I think we're all loving having him back here playing. We want him to play healthy and we want him to contend in majors, because he's the lifeline of our tour and the reason everyone gets excited to watch."
PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem attended the opening ceremony and was asked on his way to the parking lot why it was important to have Woods back.
"Do I need to answer that question?" Finchem replied.
There were more fans for a Wednesday, more cameras, more interest, more speculation.
"He's the most impactful player that's in the sport and has been for a long time," Finchem said. "It gets people refocused on his career and his drive. Short-term benefits are that it sells more tickets, but that's not really important. It's just having him in the sport. He's always been a positive influence and he'll always be as long as he's playing."
Here's what to look for in the return of the 14-time major champion:
THE RUST: When he announced last week he was ready to start competing, Woods acknowledged there would be rust. He hasn't competed in 109 days, dating to March 9 at Doral when he had the highest score (78) for a final round in his PGA Tour career.
That might be a product of age and injuries — the back surgery on March 31, along with four knee surgeries.
Woods used to come out firing when he took long breaks not related to injuries. At the end of 2007, he went 10 weeks without competition and returned at the Target World Challenge, setting a tournament with a seven-shot victory.
After his '08 knee surgery, Woods lost in the second round of the Match Play Championship, and then didn't finish out of the top 10 in his eight stroke-play tournaments (he won three times) over the next five months.
His plan for Thursday?
"A little bit rusty, but really manage my way around this golf course," he said. "This golf course is playing tough. The guys aren't going to go really low here."
THE COMPETITION: The Quicken Loans National has a stronger field than recent years with four of the top 10 in the world.
Woods will see two of them in the opening two rounds.
He plays at 8:12 a.m. on the 10th tee with Jordan Spieth and Jason Day.
Spieth finished sixth last year when he was still not a PGA Tour member. Now he is No. 9 in the world. Day won the Match Play Championship in February and can relate to Woods. He missed the next month with a thumb injury and has played only four times since his second career victory.
THE PRO-AM: Woods played 18 holes in public for the first time since Doral in the Wednesday pro-am, and it wasn't inspiring.
He hit his opening tee shot in the water on the par-4 10th. He hit his next tee shot in the water on the 11th hole. He hit only two fairways on the back nine.
Then again, it was only a pro-am.
Woods said he made a grip adjustment on the back nine and was fine the rest of the way. And remember, he hit the ball beautifully during a practice round on the Wednesday before the 2006 U.S. Open began. Then, he missed the cut for the first time in a major.
THE TALK: Just about every player at Congressional said he was thrilled to have Woods back in the game.
"We need him out here," Billy Horschel said during his pro-am.
"It's good to have him back, man," Ernie Els said as he started his pro-am round.
But when the tournament begins, only the fans (and TV executives) are likely to care.
"When you tee it up, it's no different," Haas said. "Once we're on the course, unless you're in a group with him, you don't see him, you don't know that's he's hitting it. Before the week starts, just like the other times he's come back from a minor injury or something, we're all excited to see him here playing."

The Huntington Beach City Council decided Monday not to send a group letter to the state Coastal Commission opposing a proposed desalination plant for fear they may be sued.
Councilman Jim Katapodis' substitute motion to allow individual council members a chance to submit their own letter instead of as a group passed 4-3, with Mayor Connie Boardman, Councilwoman Jill Hardy and Councilman Joe Shaw dissenting.
The original intent of the item — introduced by Boardman — was to send the California Coastal Commission a letter asking them to deny Connecticut-based Poseidon Resource's coastal development permit. But after City Council received a letter from Poseidon's legal staff Monday afternoon, which they interpreted as a threat of a lawsuit, the council opted not to the send a letter as a whole.
"The prior council made decisions before [about Poseidon], but to me it wouldn't be good to open this up to litigation," Katapodis said. "Poseidon didn't say it exactly, but they certainly hinted strong enough… We should just [write a letter] on our own."
Christopher Garrett, a lawyer representing Poseidon, emailed city staff a letter Monday afternoon, stating they would "exercise its legal rights and remedies if the council were to take collective action to adopt the item," Garrett wrote in an email to Huntington Beach assistant city attorney Michael Vigliotta.
During and after the meeting, Garrett and Poseidon Vice President Scott Maloni both reiterated that a lawsuit was never threatened.
"It was never our intention to threaten a lawsuit," Maloni said. "We needed to make the city aware of what we thought were our legal rights and what we thought would be inappropriate action on the part of the City Council."
Boardman said city attorney Jennifer McGrath told her if they were to write a group letter they might be in violation of interrupting due process.
But the mayor said she anticipated Poseidon reacting to her agenda item and was surprised that the rest of the dais was caught off guard.
"Of course they were going to send a letter threatening to sue us," she said. "I'm surprised the council got spooked by that. I expected them to send a letter threatening to sue us as part of their strategy to keep us from writing the letter."
There were over two hours of public comments from about 50 pro- and anti-Poseidon speakers Monday.
Many iron, plumbing, electrical and engineer union representatives said the Poseidon project would provide the city with more than 2,000 jobs.
"The last four years have been devastating to the construction industry," said Doug Mangione, a representative with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. "We have journeymen and apprentices ready to go to work on this project; over 300 of them living in your city alone."
Representatives of U.S Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Costa Mesa) , Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) and Sen. Mimi Walters (R-Irvine) also spoke in support of the desalination plant, saying it will help the city become less dependent on imported water and provide an economic boost.
Huntington Beach resident Armida Brashears said she was disappointed with the council's decision to send individual letters rather than the one that represented them all.
"A joint effort for the whole council has more power than an individual letter from each one of them," she said. "It sucks a lot of the power out of it when they're not able to do it as a body."
Breashears' friend Donna Heim agreed, adding that the city doesn't need any of Poseidon's water and that ratepayers would have to pay for it even if they don't need it.
"Poseidon wants to sell us this outdated technology to deliver to us water that maybe costs three or four times as much," Heim said. "Whether we need it or not, we have to pay for it 24/7."
Former Huntington Beach Mayor Debbie Cook told council members that she understands that decisions made by past councils can't be undone. She said, however, if the council sent the single letter to the Coastal Commission, it would've had great impact.
"What it would do, though, is send the message that no amount of public relations, lobbying and campaign donations can turn a pig into a pony," she said.
Cook said that there are more efficient and cost-effective alternatives to desalination, such as better conservation efforts and the Irvine Ranch Water District water banking in Kern county, which can store millions of acre feet of water and deliver it for less than the cost of imported water.
"The real danger from this project is the chilling effect high water rates will have on our economy," she said.

Obama finally starts hitting back on the McCain campaign's serial untruths:
Or how about this whopper? From the AP:
Move over, Al Gore. You may lay claim to the Internet, but John McCain helped create the BlackBerry.Of course, this isn't really a "lie" per se, more like a deranged claim by an increasingly desperate campaign. But the pathologic willingness of the McCain campaign to disregard reality is still staggering.
At least that's the contention of a top McCain policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin. Waving his BlackBerry personal digital assistant and citing McCain's work as a senator, he told reporters Tuesday, "You're looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create."
McCain has acknowledged that he doesn't know how to use a computer and can't send e-mail, one of the BlackBerry's prime functions.
How about another from the serial liar, or mentiroso, as the case were:
If you, like I, are Espanol-impaired, a translation can be read here. And yes, it's awesome: breathtaking in its dishonesty. The immigration bill was supported greatly by the Democrats, including Obama, who voted for a couple of amendments which did not pass and were not responsible for the ultimate defeat of the bill at the hands of McCain's right-wing base. Mr "Principles" McCain himself has now said that he would no longer support his own immigration bill, in favor of "border control." But they run an ad painting Obama as anti-immigration.
Even Fox News can't ignore their lying any more.
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

Maspeth High School's volleyball team recently received a donation of new equipment from Premier Care, a medical facility located near the 57th Avenue school.
The girl's volleyball team is the first organized sports team at the newly opened school. On Friday, two doctors from Premier Care visited the high school and were thanked by the team for their contribution to the volleyball program.
Principal Khurshid Abdul-Mutakabbir said the team deserves the new equipment. "They worked hard right from the very beginning, going back to last spring," he said.
Along with the school's volleyball team, the Police and Fire Department volleyball team uses the gym to practice on Wednesday nights and will also use the new equipment. Both teams are coached by volleyball legend and local resident Jerry Matacotta.
The first responders are part of a team that participates in the bi-annual World Police and Fire Games that takes place in various countries and features over 70 different sports. The next games will be held this August in Northern Ireland.
The volleyball team was founded in 1998, and that first year was soundly defeated in Stockholm, Sweden. "We're the Bad News Bears of volleyball," joked team member and FDNY Lieutenant William Miccio
In 2011, when New York hosted the games, over 3,000 volunteers came out. Miccio said that most of them were family members of firefighters. For the first time, the United States volleyball team walked away with hardware. The team came in third and was honored with a bronze medal.
Matactotta said that he has seen certain sports become "elitist," which he is trying to prevent from happening with volleyball.
"By getting neighborhood people to donate equipment, by getting police and fireman to show that this is part of the city's sports, we're going to hopefully go out there and show kids that there is a place to play volleyball and improve their skills," he said.
"Volleyball is really just a conduit," Matacotta added. "It's to get [kids] to go to school, to do well academically, to have character. That's what this is all about."
Matacotta said that he has begun working with Councilmember Elizabeth Crowley's office to create a program in which kids and teens practice the sport with the Police and Fire volleyball team.
"We're goingMaspeth High School volleyball teamto put together clinics for kids," he said.
During last week's practice, two pictures of firefighters watched over the players. Miccio said that the two men were members of the team that had passed away. "We promised that we would take them with us, wherever we go," he said.

Oregon Masters in Math, Science & Engineering Programs | Masters in STEM Education
Why Earn a Masters in STEM Education?
If you are looking for a stimulating learning environment, there are many Graduate Schools with Masters in Math Science and Engineering programs you may be able to choose from. Masters level education in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and math) tend to provide the opportunity to refine your technical skills, problem solving and computational abilities. Numbers, data, statistics, calculation, and analysis are used in all things digital, business, the sciences, architecture and engineering. There are a variety of reasons reasons why you way want to choose a campus program for your graduate education and a few things you might want to consider when making your selection.
Masters in Math Science and Engineering: Campus Program Basics
An Undergraduate degree may have given you a generalized experience of the STEM disciplines - science, technology, engineering and math -and you are now ready to refine your technical skills, problem solving and computational abilities. With all the potential choices, reviewing your options can seem daunting unless you have a plan.
First of all, realize that each university has its own unique features, admissions protocol, and requirements. Make sure to ascertain what these are rather than assuming there is a common standard. Some masters programs in these fields require you to have a Bachelor's degree in the same subject; others may allow students from related academic disciplines.
On average, if you study full time, earning your masters in these branches of learning is a 2-year process, but some universities offer somewhat longer programs that lead to earning both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree.[i]
Many Masters in Math Science and Engineering programs require a combination of traditional classroom learning; work in laboratories, and
DID YOU KNOW? Many colleges and universities advise or require mathematics students to take courses in a related field, such as computer science, engineering, physics, or statistics.[ii]
What Types of Masters in Math Science and Engineering Programs may be available on campus?
Masters in Math Science and Engineering programs span a wide variety of categories and some of these have concentrations as well. It is often the case that there is more variety in terms of what is available onsite than in the online format.

Choosing A Campus Program: Potential Advantages
GradSchools.com has some helpful search tools to help you find some of the best engineering, science or math grad schools. You can review options by location. Just choose the program you are interested in from the subject selection then use the city, state, or country tabs to filter results. Why choose a campus program? Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Social learning: If you enjoy the brainstorming aspect of learning, asking questions, and being challenged by others in real-time, choosing to attend graduate school in person may be your best bet.
Transferable skills derived from interaction: If you are working in math, science-based or engineering roles, you need good decision-making skills, and often get to resolve issues by balancing conflicting objectives. In management roles, leadership is needed to oversee and take responsibility for research or other projects. Some roles also require communication; you may understand complex theory but have to explain it to your team. These are a few examples of potentially transferable skills that might be learned through real-time interaction with fellow classmates and professors.
Research: Many universities and colleges have research facilities that include libraries and laboratories where they investigate unique concepts. A school may be well known for their civil engineering program but not as much for their human physiology program. This can be an important factor when choosing your grad school. Masters programs often teach students how to move to the next level of understanding in research methodology or applying theory to specific projects.
Facilities: Having the libraries, laboratories and student services all in one place instead of having to make your own arrangements may be more efficient and engaging for you.
Schedule: Some students find it easier to discipline themselves with a set timetable, and many universities understand that their students are busy adults; you may find a surprising array of classes on weekends and evenings.
Accreditation for Math, Science, & Engineering Grad Programs & Schools
If you are considering attending a university for your Masters in Math Science and Engineering degree, you want want to consider a program accredited by ABET, a nonprofit, non-governmental organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). They have at present, accredited about 3,600 applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology programs at over 700 colleges and universities in 29 countries worldwide.[iii]
FACT: ABET-accredited programs in chemical engineering include courses in chemistry, physics, and biology. These programs also include applying the sciences to the design, analysis, and control of chemical, physical, and biological processes.[iv]
Ready to Take the Next Step?
Sometimes a choice is made for you. This may be the case for you if you are looking for a very specific masters program that not all colleges and universities offer. However, there are often many schools offering the same degree program, whether it is a Masters in Math, Master of Science in Chemistry or Master of Engineering. In this scenario, you have to be able to weigh your decision based on factors such as recognition by an accrediting agency with personal factors such as whether you will have to relocate. Fortunately, you are gifted with a strong ability to solve problems, analyze data, and come up with a right-brain solution to the complex issue: what graduate school might best serve you as you pursue your masters degree in math, the sciences, or engineering.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Tech soccer team dropped its regular season opening match against East Tennessee State Friday afternoon 2-0, despite matching the Lady Bucs with 13 shots throughout the match.
ETSU midfielder Sarah Zadrazil scored a clutch goal with two seconds left in the first half to take a 1-0 lead into halftime. The Lady Bucs added to their lead in the 68th minute when forward Kristi Davis picked up a touch pass from Zadrazil and sent it flailing into the net.
"It's hard to recover from a goal like that," said head coach Daniel Brizard. "It's a deflating goal and it's hard to remain upbeat when you give up a sloppy goal like that."
TTU senior midfielder Kerri Reid nearly evened the score in the 55th before her shot caught the crossbar. Four minutes later, senior forward Andrea Meloff looked sure to score after beating ETSU goalkeeper Sierra Campbell, but defender Hannah Short pulled off an incredible save by heading the ball away from the goal.
"I think we had some chances in the second half to pull level," added Brizard, "but we couldn't finish our chances. You can't let a team like this escape without finishing your chances. That's what they did today. They capitalized a lot on their opportunities and looked to have less unforced errors than we did."
Tech played a strong first half and looked poised to tie things up in the second half of the match. The ETSU defense, however, had other thoughts in mind. The Lady Bucs' defense knocked the ball out of the zone quickly and often, making it tough for the Golden Eagles to squeeze in some shots-on-goal.
With the win, ETSU improved to 1-0 on the season while Tech fell to 0-1.
Despite the loss, Brizard focused on the future and kept the team focused on its next opponent.
"This is definitely a hurdle for the team," he said. "Last year, I think this would have deflated us morally. But I think this year's team is different. I think they're going to bounce back. We're looking to rebound well against Tennessee-Chattanooga. It's another team I feel we can win against. We just have to finish our chances and not give up the ball. We're looking for another good game."
The Golden Eagles will travel to Chattanooga on Sunday with the match against the Mocs slated for a 12 p.m. CT start. The match-up against the Mocs will mark the start of a three-game road-trip for the Tech soccer team.
"This season's not easy," said Brizard. "It's long, but we'll get through it. I think the girls want it and we deserve some wins, but we have to go out and finish some games first."

Ohio's new state budget for State Fiscal Years 2018-19 supports important public health issues. The new budget:
Continues to expand access to the life-saving opiate overdose reversal drug naloxone to save lives, including through new local Project DAWN (Deaths Avoided With Naloxone) programs. These programs arm family and friends of people who use drugs with naloxone to administer during an overdose while waiting on first-responders to arrive. It can be the difference between life and death.
Increases funding to support proven community-based infant mortality initiatives and help more Ohio babies reach their first birthdays. This funding will be used to support evidence-based initiatives that tackle the leading causes of infant mortality – preterm birth, sleep-related deaths and birth defects.
Makes it easier for Ohio families to identify lead-safe homes when looking for a place to live through a new Lead-Safe Housing Registry that will be created.
Aligns public health with improving health outcomes and addressing health disparities in Ohio, increases the state subsidy for accredited local health districts, makes health assessment data more accessible for community planning, and aligns state funding to support health improvement plan priorities.

Thjs is hard to convert to a clause because of "has become". Do you think it should be "After he has been trained" or "After he was trained" or "After he had been trained"?
ex)Having been trained for 2 years, he has become very skillful in the trade.
Or After training
PS If it's hard to convert to a clause, might that not be an argument for not trying to do so? You could easily use something like He was trained for two years and has..., though.

The title, Machine Gun Preacher, makes it sound like a piece of grindhouse kitsch - and by the time it's over, you'll be thinking, ''If only!''
Read Full Review
The failure lies not with the film's director, Marc Forster, nor with its impressive star, Gerard Butler, but with Jason Keller's dreadfully earnest script, which charts the hero's spiritual journey, and his Rambo-esque exploits, without offering a scintilla of mature perspective on his state of mind.
Machine Gun Preacher has a lot more wrong with it than a bullet-riddled premise. It is yet another iteration of the big, strong white man who comes to save legions of poor anonymous black Africans.
The action sequences are energetic and suspenseful but they don't always mesh well with the dramatic material.
One can't escape the nagging feeling that the film doesn't dig deeply enough into its real-life hero. The film doesn't explore all those "whys" and "whats."

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this fact-based drama set mostly in war-torn Sudan includes several combat sequences and some especially gruesome images featuring torture victims. The main character (played by Gerard Butler) transforms from a biker-gang thug into a religious man over the course of the movie. He also swears constantly ("f--k," "c--ksucker," etc.), drinks heavily, and, in the beginning, shoots heroin. It's an inspiring story, though not a pretty one.
Messages: The movie promotes the idea that people can change for the better and that there's a greater purpose in life. It also says that helping others can be a path toward paying for the mistakes of the past. On the other hand, the idea that fighting violence with violence is a good idea also comes across.
Role models: Sam is transformed from a drug-addicted thug to a devoted family man to a missionary who will do anything to help protect innocent children who've been orphaned by civil war in Sudan. However, many of his choices are questionable, including his decision to become an active participant in combat.
Violence: The film has quite a lot of violence, and some of it is horribly gruesome. There are plenty of standard-issue combat sequences that include firefights, explosions, and bloody deaths. Additional scenes show wartime atrocities being committed and their terrible aftermath. This includes piles of mangled, smoldering corpses, a woman whose lips have been cut off, a child killed by a land mine, and a young boy who's forced to club his own mother to death. One character also menaces his wife; he doesn't hit her, but his actions are violent and intimidating.
Sex: One scene features a couple having sex in a car, seen from the outside, and another shows them kissing passionately. There's no nudity, though a woman appears in her underwear.
Language: Lots of swearing. Sam uses "f--k" in about every third sentence. Also uses of "s--t," "c--ksucker," "p---y," "damn," "hell," "ass," and "butt." Sam sometimes swears in front of his young daughter.
Consumerism: Sam has an extensive collection of Harley Davidson T-shirts that he wears throughout the film. Several car brands also get mentioned or are shown on screen, including Caprice and Buick. Sam offers a friend a Coke.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Several scenes in bars with people drinking beer, doing shots, and getting drunk. Some of the characters shoot up heroin on screen.

The trials and tribulations of shaking off rust are full of ups and downs. Saturday's 5k race was discouraging and somewhat pathetic. Today, totally different story. 11.5 miles at an average of 8:25/mile over mostly trails, with three miles of paved roads and much of it quite hilly.
I guess the legs remember the longer stuff, as the effort was only moderate and I felt terrific throughout. It felt quite easy and I was having a blast. Truly felt like a runner again.
The rust isn't the only thing coming off. Despite not being able to run much this past week because I was in Kansas City for a school competition, I stepped on the scale this morning and it showed 187, losing five pounds from a week ago. This is mostly attributed to an altered diet, with healthier foods and smaller portions. It's working which is great.
After today's run, I weighed myself again and I was 182, but that was obviously loss of water weight from sweat (and a bio break). Still, good to see the range going down. The goal is to get back in the mid-170s, but I'll be very happy when I'm back to being consistently below the 180 mark.
Ran 11.5 miles @ 8:25/mile pace.
Deer flies killed: 8
Trails, dirt roads, fire roads, paved roads.
Very hilly.
Upper 60s to lower 70s, overcast, humid.

Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2003 4:46 am Post subject: At a Loss.... I feel so awful cause I saw the worst thing ever here in Korea and I did nothing to stop it. There is a homeless man with Tourette's who goes about downtown here, and today he was sitting in front of Burger King. As I, and a gaggle of other Koreans are eating nearby the window, a man on a bicycle comes up to him and starts poking him sharply on the head repeatedly. The poor man was cowering underneath his hands and then tried to hide under a piece of newspaper but the man on the bike just continued. I saw everything but felt scared to say anything. All I could think of was "What do I say?" and then "If this guy is treating another Korean so piss-poorly, who's to say what he would do to a foreign woman on her own?" I actually thought if I stared with a scowl at the man long enough, maybe he would get embarrassed and stop, as he wouldn;t want to be the Korean behaving badly in front of a foreigner...but then the World Cup days are long gone, aren't they? I know if I had one of my guy friends with me at the time, I would have wanted to go out there with him. What makes me really sad is that no one else, who had the power to communicate with this nappun nom, did anything to help the poor man. They just sat and ignored it. It went on for about 10 minutes, and finally when I really couldn't take it anymore and was about to confront this guy, and actually hit him with my brolly, he sped off on his bike. Now I know All Koreans aren't like that nappun nom, but this image will stick with me for quite some time, and I guess this is just my first experience with (as someone had mentioned in an earlier thread) just how bad Koreans can behave to one another, even as they talk about woori nala and jung...I guess for some people, those concepts just don't apply to others. I feel sad and sick. (I'll probably get a lot of "What do you expect from these people, you naive moron??" responses, but I'm just venting.)

One of the things I really hate here is seeing so much human suffering and people who will happily turn a blind eye to it. A month or so ago I was on a bus that hit someone. So I get off the bus this guy was in a bad way, there are people milling around. So I go and take a look at him (check his breathing etc.) all of sudden I'm pushed aside so they can move him. I haven't done a referesher course in a while but I know that it's not a good idea to move someone who's suffered a major tramua to be moved. So I start yelling in korean 'don't do that' and they look at me like some crazy person and move him anyway. By the time I get to a proper look at him there's no pulse, and despite my efforts he died. I don't know what I was more upset about, the death, or the actions of the people preceeding it. I also hate the thought that I'm not able to communicate properly what I want. Call a doctor, an ambulance etc. I'm not saying it's immune to the west, but the 'bystander effect' seems a lot more prevlant here.

Physical abuse of animals/pets everywhere. I know of a few foreigners, including myself, who were the only people to even stop and check at the scene of single vehicle accidents. In multi-vehicle accidents, there seems to be quite a bit of interest in the damage to the cars and paying each other off. One lovely afternoon, driving in the country with my boyfriend, also a foreigner, we came upon a man and a woman on the side of the road, the woman was sitting on the ground (actually on her but which is unusual to begin with right) and as we drove by the man swung his leg and kicked her in the head. We stopped the car and my boyfreind wanted to get out and I too wanted to mess up the guy BUT we didn't. We just sat there the man stared us down he was obviously loaded. As he stared at us the woman got up and just started walking away. Afetr she was about a half a mile away we drove off. I totally symapathise with the confusion over what to do when you are a witness to abuse. Its difficult enough in your own country. Everytime I see something like this. it hurts my heart.

Anyhow, one time I met my girlfriend after work and we walked past this guy. I gave him some cash, just a few coins. After we had walked for a bit my girlfriend explained to me that I should not give money to beggars. A little taken aback, I asked her to explain why. She told me that there exist people who extort money from beggars. They apparently �own� a section of town and sometimes station �their� beggars in certain areas. I told her that this sounded a lot like Oliver Twist and that it was probably an urban myth. But, she then told me that it was a big social problem and that there was recently some kind of special on TV that focused on it. Apparently these people have been known to kidnap children to become beggars (although I have never seen a kid beggar myself). She was really adamant about this. Although she does believe in fan death.

Dario Argento
Angus Scrimm
Don Coscarelli
The Tall Man
Bubba Ho-Tep
The LA Times recently noted the 30th birthday of Phantasm, the first entry in director Don Coscarelli's quartet of Phantasm horror films. Scraped together from a meager budget, and shot and edited over a period of roughly 20 months, Phantasm and its sequels continue to suck me in with a frequency that I'm sure wreaks havoc with whatever Netflix algorithm crunches out the recommendations linking those films to L'Eclisse.
For Phantasm newbies here's the story (the bare bones, so to speak), per its official film site:
Michael Baldwin and Bill Thornbury star as two brothers who discover that their local mortuary hides a legion of hooded killer dwarf-creatures, a flying silver sphere of death, and is home to the sinister mortician known only as the Tall Man. This nefarious undertaker (with an iconic performance by Angus Scrimm) enslaves the souls of the damned and in the process his character has entered the pantheon of classic horror villains.
Sounds kicky, right? What the synopsis leaves out, though—and what no synopsis could possibly accommodate—is precisely that elusive, unquantifiable element that makes the Phantasm films, in my eyes, so haunting. Whether due to exigencies of budget or imagination, the logic these films operate under is so far out and unpredictable, the effect is like watching a 6-hour nightmare unspool before your eyeballs.
How is one supposed to reconcile, exactly, hooded dwarves, funeral homes, and flying, eyeball-gouging orbs? Um, I'm not sure you can, really (believe me, I've tried!). And as the quartet progresses, the entire Phantasm mythology assumes ever-more grand and baroque dimensions. For example…
SPOILER ALERT: About those dwarves? Oh, they're ultimately destined for another planet. Those flying silver balls? They're storage containers for the souls of the recently departed. END SPOILERS.
Contrast that inability to reconcile so many dreamy, disparate elements with the boringly formulaic, teenage-slashing rhythms of Freddy and Jason, and you can begin to understand how I consider Don Coscarelli more in league with Suspiria-meister Dario Argento, than the Wes Craven of Scream and Elm Street.
And, much like Argento, whose capacity for creative bloodletting seems undiminshed by time, Coscarelli continues to direct. His last film, the cult-fave Bubba Ho-Tep, starred the always great Ossie Davis and Bruce Campbell. The trailer for the original Phantasm follows below:
In the LA Times: Happy Birthday, Tall Man! "Phantasm" Turns 30
