Men's lacrosse sees record crowd at annual 'Blackout' game
Uplifted by a record-setting crowd of over 4,000, Liberty University's men's lacrosse team surged past North Carolina State University early Saturday morning in the second annual "Blackout" game on the recently expanded Liberty Lacrosse Fields.
The game started shortly after midnight on Friday and drew twice as many fans as last year. The Flames, sporting specially designed black uniforms for the occasion, broke ties twice in the fourth quarter before securing a 9-7 win over the Wolfpack.
"Those bleachers probably hold 1,250, but they were packed in there tight last night. We had people all up and down the side and the fence line was all filled in. It's nice to see the support and nice to see that the students here on campus can get behind us," said Flames Head Coach Kyle McQuillan.
Sophomore attack Brett Bernardo (28) sparks the Flames' transition game in front of packed stands at the Liberty Lacrosse Fields in a 9-7 win early Saturday morning.
he popularity of men's lacrosse at Liberty, one of 32 offerings in a thriving Club Sports program, has snowballed since the program was reinstated in 2010. Following the 2013 season, when the Flames captured the SELC Division II tournament title and advanced to the Final Four of the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) DII National Championships, the program transitioned to MCLA Division I. The Flames now compete against schools from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and Southeastern Conference (SEC), among others. Liberty is currently ranked 27th in the MCLA DI poll, one spot ahead of Virginia Tech, its toughest competitor in the SELC DI Northwest Region.
The Flames (9-3, 2-0 Southeastern Lacrosse Conference, Northwest Region) returned to action on Sunday and improved to 4-0 at home with an 18-4 triumph over Auburn University.

The glacial lake of Liconi acted as the muse for this Centrepiece for the table, designed by Pierfrancesco Cravel. In addition to its intrinsic scenographic qualities, selecting a lake as the inspirational model also responds to functional considerations: the surface of the water acts as the table top, the surrounding landscape forms the enclosing perimeter. The design of the surface was obtained by elaborating a high definition, stereoscopic satellite image. The highly-skilled craftsmanship necessary to reproduce a subject with these characteristics in metal was possible only thanks to the expertise Alessi has acquired through years of experience realising complex surfaces in steel. Its descriptive, evocative form transforms Liconi into an object to put on display, in addition to its nominal function as a Centrepiece.
Pierfrancesco Cravel graduated from the Politecnico di Milano where he attended the courses of Arturo dell'Acqua, Corrado Levi and Andrea Branzi with whom he designed some furniture for the house of Lawrence Steele, Grand Vases and Genetic Tales. In 1998, he became Art Director for the Trussardi Group working with Nicola Trussardi and photographers that included Satoshi Saikusa, Steven Klein and Armin Linke. He designed the Python perfume bottle and the Trussardi Home Collection. At his own company, PFC architects, founded in 2000, he has designed and created many commercial and residential building notably The Pirelli Skyscraper in Milan (1996), Villamoda (2001) and the public space around the Dubai International Financial Centre (2007). In 2012 he started to design for Alessi (Liconi 2012), Driade (Andrea and Lawrence) and Petite Hache (Dessins écologiques pour Pascale Mussard). He has lectured in Architecture and Industrial Design at the Politecnico di MiLano since 1999 and as a "Visiting Professor" at the Luigi Bocconi University in Milan in 2010 and at the IED (L'Istituto Europeo di design) in 2012. He has written articles and reviews for Vogue Italia and more recently for Domus online.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Teachers often use small peer group discussions in response-based literature study. Sometimes these groups take the form of literature circles, but they can also be less formally structured and more spontaneously implemented. To use this technique, teachers should divide students into small groups (from three to six students) and give them a common task or text to tackle. Teacher Alfredo Lujan demonstrates this in his classroom when he has his students interview one another about the poems they have read. The task might involve a similar interviewing process, or it might revolve around solving a problem together or determining something about a text.
As students work, the teacher should circulate around the room, helping individual groups, redirecting them where necessary, and generally ensuring that they are on task. At the end of the work time, teachers should schedule a few minutes for a report from each small group. Reporting is often limited to something as simple as: "Tell the class which lines you decided to pick from the text." This might be done orally or, if there is a great deal of information that needs to be recorded, on large sheets of paper that can be posted where the rest of the class can read them.
A variation on small peer group discussions, one in which students also write together, is known as "inkshedding." To inkshed, the teacher should give the whole class a short, common writing assignment, whether a response to literature or a piece of personal writing. Students then bring their writing to the group and pass it to the person next to them in a clockwise direction. Each student then reads the writing and writes comments on it. The group continues to pass the writing around the circle, reading and commenting -- or commenting on the comments -- until each piece has gone full-circle, at which point the original writer reads the comments. The small group might then discuss the pieces they wrote.
As Lujan observes, small peer group discussions often "bounce," meaning the interview process transitions into lively dialogue. In an intimate group, students are more apt to open up and take risks than in a whole-class setting. They are also more likely to use their own language to begin solving a problem or tackling a text. Having a peer "explain" a text is often more helpful to a struggling student than an adult's explanation.

The 7th Annual Chevy & GMC Truck Show & Shine
Most rode low. Some appeared stock. Several reached for the stratosphere, perched atop NAPCO or modern custom suspensions. The number of hot rod and classic haulers in attendance made the event the biggest and best ever. The 7th Annual Chevy & GMC Truck Show & Shine, produced by Brothers Classic Chevy & GMC Truck Parts, offered entertainment, food, a chock-full vendors row, and an abundance of pristine, classic custom GM pickups.
Minutes before the 8 o'clock start on Sunday, July 10, 2005, we arrived at Featherly Park in Anaheim, California. A score of pickups had already parked, while rumbling Chevys and GMCs emerged from the morning mist to find places in the sun. We found an eclectic mix of freshly finished trucks, former winners, and in-progress pickups. We visited with the Flanders brothers (of Brothers Trucks fame), and joked with owners of pickups recently featured in CCT. Since the Brothers Trucks show is right in CCT's backyard, it's more like a family reunion or a neighborhood block party. The best part is the most popular partiers at the Brothers annual reunion are always the most pristine pickups. They're easy to spot: The engines sing the sweetest. Their interiors smell and feel the freshest. And their meticulous finish, paint, and chrome shine the brightest. In other words, the best Bow Ties and Jimmys at the Brothers annual shindig weren't donning lampshades to stand out; they exuded custom classic design. If you couldn't attend that sunny summer Southern California Sunday, we had your back. Check out some of the GM finery we found most captivating. For even more photos from the show and information about next year's block party, please visit www.brothers trucks.com. Consider this a written invitation (with photos) for the Brothers family reunion in 2006. Party hardy pickup fans!

I'm a research chemist with 10 years experiences with Merck (drug / pharmaceutical company) who was working in Pain Management.
I was hit by a car while walking and got a broken clavicle with a lot of PAIN. I've tried everything to release my pain without success. Through continual research, I've discovered a NEW and Revolutionary Biofeedback technology which release totally my PAIN in less than 1h ! As a Scientist, this totally struck me.
I've started my business last year to educate people about scientific solutions to improve their health. My current logo (NRJ3) was made by an artist and is not very business-like ! Would like a LOGO which reflect my scientific background with a touch of nature. I'm providing Health consultation, rental and sales of equipments, seminar and training.
This technology is excellent to release Pain at 3 levels (physical, emotional and psychological) Also very effective for STRESS, Scar Tissues and Wrinkles.

Dunbar didn't take long to set the tone for Saturday's Class 1A football state championship.
In the first 3 minutes, the No. 6 Poets ran the ball six times for 58 yards, culminating in Coleman Blackston's 26-yard touchdown run, and they were well on their way to a 39-0 victory over New Town for their third straight state title at M&T Bank Stadium.
"It's amazing right now," Poets senior defensive end Marvin Gross said. "They were talking trash all week and in The Baltimore Sun and that just makes it that much better that we beat them. We felt disrespected all around. You can tell that they hadn't been here before, but the disrespect level was just too high. We had to come out and dominate and that's what we did."
The Poets (13-1) won their seventh state title since 2004 and their ninth overall in the third-most lopsided victory in state tournament history. The first-time state finalist Titans (11-3) could not counter Dunbar's size, especially on the offensive line, or a punishing defense that forced four turnovers.
"We were able to move the ball at certain points but weren't able to seal the deal," Titans coach Joe Holland said. "We had breakdowns within certain drives and we gave up big plays at the most inopportune times, and they capitalized, which is what great teams do."
Since falling to No. 4 Calvert Hall, 30-6, in the season opener, the Poets have shut out 10 opponents — one shy of the state single-season record — and allowed just 23 points. Dunbar, which moves up to Class 2A next year, held a Titans rushing attack averaging 265 yards per game to 122 and limited them to just 33 yards of total offense in the first half.
"Our defense has been tremendous all year," Dunbar coach Lawrence Smith said. "I told coach [Michael] Carter, our defensive coordinator, in the beginning, that I felt this would be probably our best defense we ever had, because it's not about names. This defense was a complete defense."
In leading the offense, Blackston, a junior running back, gained as many yards — 128 on 18 carries — as the Titans had in total offense. Running behind right guard Dariz Hill, Blackston ran 17 times in the first half and scored the first two touchdowns.
"They kept feeding me, and I kept running behind my big boy," Blackston said of the 6-foot-3, 360-pound Hill. "We ran a lot of 44s right up [behind] Dariz. He gave me a lot of holes to cut off of, and it was real simple just to run behind him."
The Poets offensive line of Hill, Nicholas Bonaparte, Brandon Giles, Teon Ransom and Malik Jones plowed the way for a Dunbar running game that gained 229 yards.
"We do a lot of conditioning, so we can run the ball all day, 24-7, smash-mouth football," Hill said.
Holland said: "There definitely was a size advantage and over the course of the game, that does tend to wear on you."
Blackston added a second touchdown on a 2-yard romp for a 12-0 lead with 3:19 left before the half to cap a 64-yard drive in which he gained all but 1 yard.
On the sixth play of the Titans' next drive, Leland Lassiter intercepted a Shawn Magginson pass and quarterback William Crest took the Poets 60 yards in 45 seconds, scoring on a 13-yard pass to Wilbur Young. Joneil Faloon's extra point made it 19-0 at the half.
On the first drive of the second half, the Titans had their best chance to score, reaching the Dunbar 5-yard line, but a penalty for an illegal subsitution turned third-and-2 from the 5 into third-and-7 from the 10. Donte' Gross then fumbled on the run and Ransom recovered for the Poets.
The Poets couldn't convert that one, but they did score after two turnovers in the final 6 minutes, adding three touchdowns in less than 2 minutes.
JaQuan Holt's 6-yard scoring run and Paki Brown's conversion boosted the Dunbar lead to 27-0 with 6:21 to go. With 6 minutes left, Kyree Hawkins picked off Magginson and that led to a 9-yard Crest touchdown pass to Aaron Savage with 5:02 left. Seconds later, Ty'Chan Johnson recovered a fumble and raced 46 yards for a 39-0 Poets lead with 4:37 to go.
For New Town, Derrick Kittrell ran for 63 yards on 17 carries and Gross gained 38 yards on seven carries.
"I'm definitely proud of the season we had," Holland said of a Titans team that went 3-1 in the playoffs this fall after going 1-5 in their previous four playoff appearances.
"Of course we would love to have won the championship," Holland said, "but one game doesn't negate the kind of season we had as a team. I told my seniors I was proud to be in their service over the last few years and of the energy they put towards getting to the next level and also to my returning players, to remember the feeling today, so we can prepare ourselves better to play at this level next year."

Loyal readers of Super Chevy (you know who you are) will no doubt remember our first adventure with Modern Mouse last month, but here is a recap for those of you just joining the party. Back in part one, we plucked a 5.3L LM7 truck motor from a local wrecking yard and propped it up on the dyno. As with our previous SBC rodent series (Major Mouse, Danger Mouse), our plan was to subject Modern Mouse to all manner of modifications, ranging from the mild to wild, even venturing off into the bizarre.
To get the party started, we simply installed the motor and managed a few simple bolt-ons, namely ported stock heads, a cam, and an intake. The combination of TEA CNC 5.3L heads, a mild Comp hydraulic roller cam, and the Fast LSXR intake netted us 445 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque (100 hp and 70 lb-ft over the baseline runs).
These were good numbers considering the mild cam profile (212/218 @ 0.050). Those of you wondering why we didnít start with a larger 5.7L, 6.0L, or even 6.2L should know that the 5.3L is more readily available and considerably less expensive than any of its big brothers. Affordability is a critical element, but fear not: increased displacement is definitely on the to-do list.
After a review of the hard parts currently employed on Modern Mouse, we came to one simple conclusion—the thing needs more camshaft. Back in part one, we chose the conservative route and installed a cam that offered sizable power gains without negatively affecting things like idle quality and (likely) fuel mileage. That gains were present through the entire rev range was a good sign, but the 5.3L was now sporting heads and an intake manifold that could support 600 hp. While we knew 600 hp was out of the question in normally aspirated trim, we also knew that we could get a lot closer to 500 hp with a simple cam change. If not the cam alone, then certainly with a few other tricks we had up our sleeve. The icing on the performance cake came in the form of a plate nitrous system from NOS. The wet system offered plenty of power, but in deference to our stock short-block we installed what might be considered conservative jetting. As luck would have it, we also had the perfect displacement test, having run a 4.8L for sister-pub Hot Rod magazine with identical components.
Part two of Modern Mouse begins where part one left off, with our 5.3L sporting CNC-ported stock heads from Total Engine Airflow, a Comp XR265HR cam and a FAST LSXR intake and throttle body. Also present were the American Racing headers, a Meziere electric water pump and a FAST XFI/XIM management system. Equipped as such, Modern Mouse managed peak numbers of 445 hp at 5,900 rpm and 434 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm. With plenty of head and intake flow, we decided to further improve the peak power numbers of 5.3L, even if the additional power came at the expense of low-speed torque production. If the 5.3L were to see some strip action, the additional power would certainly come in handy. If you are all about torque and driveability, stick with the smaller XR265HR grind, but for this installment, we replaced the mild stick with a wilder XR281HR.
The new cam offered a 0.571/0.573 lift split, a 228/230 duration split at 0.050, and a 112-degree lobe separation angle (LSA). In one fell swoop, the cam swap increased both lift and duration while tightening the LSA. The result of the cam swap in our 5.3L was immediate and impressive, with the peak power output jumping to 480 hp. Peak torque was up by just 1 lb-ft, but the cam swap netted power gains from 4,700 rpm on up, with a loss in torque below that point. That's the tradeoff.
Typical of a more aggressive cam profile, the idle vacuum dropped by over 3 inches, but Modern Mouse now sounded like one serious small-block, especially at full song. We'd love to stab this thing in a Camaro or Chevelle and start grabbing gears at 7,000 rpm! If that doesn't bring a smile to your face, you must be a closet Ford owner.
Though our cam swap netted some impressive numbers, we decided to keep going with a set of roller rockers and synthetic oil. Unfortunately for us, both changes were made at the same time, so you can judge for yourself just how much each might be worth. We can say they are both worthwhile upgrades and every motor deserves synthetic oil.
After the oil change to Luca 5W-20 synthetic, we also swapped out the stock rockers for a set of 1.8-ratio rollers from Comp Cams. The revised rocker ratio pushed the lift of our new XR281HR cam over 0.600 lift, but our spring package from Total Engine Airflow was more than adequate to handle the extra lift. A quick check on piston-to-valve indicated we didnít have much more room for additional duration, but the combination was ready to rock. The two changes improved the power output of the 5.3L to 492 hp and 447 lb-ft of torque. The additional rocker ratio improved power across the board.
The final test of the day involved nitrous oxide. NOS supplied a kit (part number 05169NOS) designed specifically for the LS2 (larger throttle body; it also has one for the LS1). The wet EFI kit included everything needed to increase the power output of the motor by as much as 200 hp. We chose slightly more conservative jetting to supply an additional 125 hp. We also added a can of octane booster to the premium unleaded (91 octane) pump gas we had been using for all of the testing. Using the Fast XFI management system, we also dialed out four degrees of timing to minimize the chance of detonation (remember those cast pistons). Westech had a bottle heater on hand to ensure over 900 psi of bottle pressure.
Given the high-mileage short-block, we were a little nervous before hitting the button, but Modern Mouse responded like a real trooper. After minor changes to the air/fuel mixture (factory jetting from NOS is a tad on the rich side for safety), the 5.3L belted out 616 hp and 586 lb-ft of torque on the juice. That's enough power to push a street machine into the 10s, trapping more than a few Mustangs in the process.

Effect of Displacement: 4.8L vs. 5.3L
The graph illustrates the difference in power production offered by the 4.8L and 5.3L. Both motors were equipped with stock short blocks, sporting the same XR281HR cam, TEA CNC-ported stock heads and Fast LSXR intake. Both combinations were also equipped with the very same 1-3/4-inch long-tube headers, Fast XFI management system, and Meziere electric water pump. The 4.8L produces 449 hp and 378 lb-ft of torque to the 480 hp and 435 lb-ft of torque offered by the larger 5.3L. It is also important to note that the smaller 4.8l produced peak power at 7,000 rpm and peak torque at 5,800 rpm. This compares to 6,600 rpm and 5,300 rpm for the larger 5.3L. Displacement has a way of taming the cam profile. Were we to run this combination on a 6.0L or a 408 stroker, the motor would make peak power even lower than the 5.3L. The 4.8L was no slouch, but just check out how much extra average power is available in the lower rev ranges. There really is no replacement for displacement.

The Information Resources Management College is the largest of four colleges of National Defence University, the pre‑eminent U.S. graduate‑level institution responsible for educating military and civilian senior leaders across government for national security. The college, dedicated to developing information leaders who can leverage information and information technology for strategic advantage, is rapidly becoming an adaptive enterprise. The college is transforming into a "sense‑and‑respond" organisation (Haeckel, 1999), that is increasingly netcentric and agile, an essential quality for survival in a dynamic Information Age environment. By engaging more directly with stakeholders, the college is sensing the learning needs of government organisations. In response it is re‑designing current, and designing new, educational programs, re‑framing its courses into professional development seminars, and designing tailored educational services to meet the learning needs of government organisations. Via its large distributed learning program, the college reaches students around the world, and is expanding its current global reach by supporting communities of practice aligned with perceived stakeholder interests. It is also encouraging faculty participation with networks of government, academic, and private sector colleagues to enrich learning. Cross‑boundary communication, collaboration, and leadership are valued as essential to better government and the agility of the college, and are infused as curricular and organisational goals. As part of its transformation, college leaders streamlined the organisational design to create teams of faculty to develop and deliver programs. Replacing command‑and‑control systems, the leaders are adapting the organisational context by re‑framing the organisation's reason for being, governing principles, and high‑level business process design. While continuing to offer credit‑bearing courses and programs consistent with the academic traditions of a graduate school, the college is transforming from a "make‑and‑sell" organisation to a "sense‑and‑respond" organisation that models agility in today's information‑driven federal government environment.

Five Ways To Make The Assassin's Creed Film Not Suck
Yesterday, Ubisoft announced it is one step closer to making a film adaptation of Assassin's Creed, thanks to a deal with the film production company New Regency. However, even if it does get made, will it be any better than the average game-to-movie adaptation? Here are five things that can help Ubisoft surpass that incredibly low bar.
#1: Minimize the modern day, sci-fi hocus pocus
The Assassin's Creed games do an amazing job of recreating historical periods, places, and events. The sci-fi elements and mind-control wack-job conspiracy that tie all of these eras together are less compelling. I'm sure Ubisoft and New Regency will be chomping at the bit to spice up Desmond's cyber mind journey with a bunch of flashy CGI effects, but it's an urge that should be avoided at all costs. The Assassin's Creed movie should be grounded in Altaïr's story of becoming a master assassin and the corrupt Templars he must kill. I wouldn't mind if they skipped the modern day stuff altogether.
"Less glowing people and more stabbing, please."
#2: Don't "video game" it up
I appreciate the fact that directors working on adaptations of video games try to include a bit of fan service to players. It's a nice but unnecessary gesture. Players go to these films to see cinematic interpretations of the stories they enjoy – not to see gimmicky attempts to make a film that looks like a video game. Doom's first-person segment was just plain stupid, as was Prince of Persia's "Hey look, the camera is flying around the environment like it's the beginning of a video game level! Isn't that cool?!"
No. It's not. And I don't want to see some stupid callback to the Assassin's Creed games when Altaïr is stabbing dudes in the face.
#3: Cut out the annoying characters
The Assassin's Creed series has a number compelling characters – chief among them, Altaïr and Ezio. It also has its share of annoying secondary characters, which should be politely swept under the rug. Again, I'd look at the present day narrative for characters to cut; I have no love for Desmond, Lucy, or that preachy bore Warren Vidic in the original Assassin's Creed.
However, I'm more concerned with some of the characters in the sequels, which would inevitably be translated to the silver screen if the first movie is successful. Rebecca Crane and Shaun Hastings should be the first characters left on the cutting room floor, unless the film provides an alternate canon in which Desmond flips out and assassinates them for the fun of it.
"Not these characters. Not ever."
#4: Hire good actors
Good actors can't always fix a crappy film adaptation of a video game (i.e. Mark Walberg in Max Payne), but casting some no-talent heartthrob is a surefire way to sink a movie regardless of the script's quality.
Ubisoft has already signed Michael Fassbender as the lead of the movie, which would presumably be Altaïr. I'm not sure how the German-Irish actor plans to pass himself off as a Syrian assassin, but he's a decent actor, so I'm willing to suspend my disbelief. Picking up other quality actors and actresses should be a priority for the filmmakers. That doesn't mean they need to be A-list celebrities, either; I'd take a talented no-name actor over a disinterested Jake Gyllenhaal any day of the week.
#5: Stay Mature
I'm sure Ubisoft and New Regency will be inclined to shoot for a PG-13 rating in order to minimize the risk of making an expensive summer blockbuster. The only problem is that Assassin's Creed is a series about Assassins. Cold-blooded, throat-cutting assassins, who have hidden wrist blades that they frequently jam into peoples' skulls. Trying to make that suitable for a younger audience would be disingenuous to the series, not to mention amoral.
The action in the film should stay true to the series, with swift, brutal sword fights, and unflinching assassinations. If the filmmakers are worried that will alienate the movie's potential audience, it would be best not to make the film at all.
Those are five things I'd like to see from an Assassin's Creed film. What about you? Share your thoughts below.

We are an Australian company that custom imprints guitar picks with text and images.
Our company name is Grover Allman, but we will be trading as WeddingPicks.com in this instance.
We have noticed an increase in sales lately of married couples ordering custom printed guitar picks for their wedding, so this website is targeted specifically to that market.
http://www.realweddings.com.au/ We like the colours, background and clean Web 2.0 look.
http://www.cupcakesonline.com.au/ Nice colour scheme, texture on the top banner
http://lauraburciaga.com/ Although it is a blog, the fonts, colours and textures are great. Classy and clean
http://www.customweddingpicks.com This is our main competitor, we do NOT want our site to look like this, it looks bad and the colour scheme and fonts leave a lot to be desired.
Please ignore our current website, it is simply a placeholder at this stage.
We are looking for a modern, fresh website targeting brides-to-be and their fiancees, who are looking for custom printed guitar picks for their wedding.
You can see some of the picks we print day to day here: http://twitpic.com/photos/groverallman
We do not have a logo for WeddingPicks.com. Feel free to design your own to fit in with the feel of your website. We're thinking it would just be text 'WeddingPicks.com', perhaps in script.
We would like the site to be clean, refined, classy and feminine. The colour scheme should reflect this, perhaps using pastels or a floral wallpaper as the background (just an idea). Think watercolours, filigree, light, flowers, lace etc...
Our target market is 20-35 year old females.
Across the top of the page will be our logo 'WeddingPicks.com', and a 'Contact Us' link.
We need the following dot points laid out in an easy to read format, possibly with small icons next to each, and a paragraph of filler text:
A unique idea for your special day
Free graphic design
Digital proof within 24 hours
Fast, efficient shipping
Friendly service
Australian made
A rotating image banner would also look great, feel free to use placeholder images of wedding, happy couples or guitar picks at this stage.
We will also need navigation, either at the top or along the side with the following:
Along the bottom somewhere we would like 'brought to you by' and then our Grover Allman logo, which has been supplied here in .eps vector format.
Let your imagination flow with this one, you are the talent here. We will provide as much feedback as possible!

GREENVILLE, S.C. � The moment had arrived in the Southern Conference Tournament.
The Citadel�s Joe Jackson, who impersonated Hall of Famers throughout the week, made his way to the plate at Fluor Field. Elon University�s Spencer Medick waited on the mound.
The potential go-ahead run was on base in the top of the eighth inning Sunday afternoon as Elon clung to a one-run lead in the championship game.
The overwhelmingly pro-Citadel crowd worked into a frenzy. Then it was full count.
�He�s a real tough out,� Medick said. �That�s probably the best at-bat I had all day from the mound.�
Jackson, who was 10-for-12 in the tournament at the time, went down looking on a called third strike with two runners in motion on the bases.
Medick sprinted toward the dugout and �
Oh yeah, the Phoenix still needed three more outs to secure the 6-5 victory and tournament title.
�The coaches were trying to get me to calm down in the dugout,� Medick said.
Afterward, that Medick / Jackson showdown was all the rage.
�He threw a really good curveball,� Jackson said. �The one before that kind of fooled me a little bit, it was pretty sharp. Not a great at-bat, but I�ve got to live with it. I�m definitely mad at myself.�
Elon coach Mike Kennedy said: �We certainly didn�t want (Jackson) up there. We hadn�t got him out all day. � Just big enough (breaking ball) to freeze him and lock him up. But that wasn�t over.�
Medick struck out the side in the ninth and it was finished. It was the senior�s first save in his two-year Elon career.
Back to that eighth inning.
�It definitely felt like a home game for them,� Medick said of the atmosphere. �When I�m on the mound, I don�t really hear anything.�
Citadel coach Fred Jordan, whose team won three straight games without a loss in the tournament until meeting Elon, said his team looked primed to completely erase a 6-1 hole.
�I thought we were going to be able to run them down,� he said. �We had some opportunities. But they didn�t allow us to capitalize. � You�ve got to give (Elon pitcher Kyle) Webb and Medick credit. They did a great job. They just shut us down in RBI situations.�
Then there was the Jackson, a left-handed batter, facing Medick, a left-handed pitcher.
�He threw a 3-2 curveball, never threw him a fastball,� Jordan said. �To his credit, he threw a great curveball and it just froze Joe.�
Jackson, the great, great, great nephew of legendary Shoeless Joe Jackson (with a museum recognizing his life across the street from Fluor Field), batted .769 (10-for-13 with six walks) and became the tournament�s first Most Outstanding Player from a non-championship team.
�It was a great game all the way around,� Jackson said, �but Elon deserves it.�
Webb (7-3), who was the loser as a starter in Wednesday�s tournament opener and then was summoned to escape a bases-loaded, one-out jam Saturday night for a save against Georgia Southern, left with the lead after 6 1/3 innings.
Webb gave up Jackson�s RBI triple in the seventh, then struck out Bo Thompson before Medick was called from the bullpen. Tyler Griffin smacked Medick�s first pitch over center fielder Sebastian Gomez�s head for a double, closing the gap to 6-5.
Then maybe you�ve heard about that eighth inning.
Earlier, Citadel struck first with Jackson�s RBI double high off the left-field wall in the first inning. Before the Bulldogs stranded two runners, Elon rushed pitchers to the bullpen.
Elon went ahead in the bottom of the inning, using Alex Swim�s single, Ryan Kinsella�s triple and Casey Jones� double. The Phoenix might have had more if Gomez hadn�t been picked off first base amid the rally.
It was 5-1 after two innings because Swim beat out a bases-loaded grounder, avoiding a double play for an RBI fielder�s choice. After Kinsella drew his seventh walk of the tournament, Gomez roped a two-run single.
Elon�s Chris Bresnahan uncorked a two-out RBI single off the left-field wall in the third, increasing the edge to 6-1.
In the next inning, the Phoenix didn�t convert after putting runners at first and third with one out.
Then Citadel got going in the fifth, with Griffin�s two-out, two-run double falling just out of the reach of diving Jones near the left-field line.
Citadel�s Austin Pritcher, the league�s Pitcher of the Year, was gone before completing the third inning. It was his shortest stint in 16 starts this year.
-- EXTRA BASES �: Swim, a senior catcher, tied the school record for career games played with his 235th, matching Paul Bennett 2003-06). Swim has made 180 consecutive starts. � Kinsella has reached safely in 37 consecutive games. � Citadel is Elon�s most-frequent opponent in the conference tournament. The Phoenix is 4-7 in those games. Elon has faced no other foe more than six times. � In its NCAA Tournament opener, Elon will be aiming for its first six-game winning streak since 2010.

The company is a software development shop that is curently focusing on working closely with goverment department and large corporations. We work on the requirements, design, development and testing of their core applications, critical to their day to day operations.
SD Sharp currently competes with large and well established software development power houses. Therefore my idea NOT to have a standard site where I will just look like another small company in the pot of competitors. I envision a DIFFERENT site ..but very very important is that it needs to look PROFESSIONAL
SD Sharp is a software house therefore I kind of envisioned a site that looks like the image below:
Imagine if each room is descriptive to one of the following task (Requirements, Design, Development, Testing, Training, Maintenance...)
The picture above looks old and surely does not give the idea of fresh ...so do not use it on the site but I think it gives the right idea that I want the site to be different ...but still professional.
A GENERAL IDEA: Whatever design you came out with, my desire is that he represents a "PROGRESS" between rooms. For example, if I was selling houses, I would like to see the first room (Requirements) where it shows a list of ideas from the customer, the second room (Design) should start having a BluePrint of the House and Designs docs, the third room (Development) should show a house in contruction based on the BluePint of room#2, the fourth room (Testing) should show some sort of calculation where they test that same house designed on room#2 and built on room#3, being tested agains hearthquakes or whatever, the last room could be delivery to paying customer. Finally we should also have "Maintenance" with the idea of piece of mind. The idea of progress of the same house from conception to ..delivery is quite interesting and if we play properly with the colors from lighter to ..a bit more stronger (if that gives an idea of progress...). What do you think? .
- Item 1 Fresh Look
- Item 2 Creative Design
- Item 3 Hearthy Colors
- Item 4 Professional but not ..standard
- Item 5 Focus on the Art Work as I can do the coding behind. That means you can spend more time focusing on the Design part.
- Item 6 Winning contest will provide all images and hard coded HTML pages
- I need a visionary designer ...are you the "one" ??•I need a visionary design ...are u the one?
- Item 1 I am NOT looking for standard designs with the logo and menu above the large image and then blocks on the bottom.
- Item 2 I am looking for something different, more fresh and more interesting, still professional.

The alarm and strobe on this cabinet operate either on a 9V battery (included) or can be hard-wired to a building security system (instructions included). When connected to a battery, the alarm emits a sound that ranges from 85 to 120 decibels (dBA) when the door is opened, and chirps when the battery is low. When connected to a security system, the alarm emits a sound at 120 dBA when the door is opened. The alarm and strobe can be configured to shut off automatically either 30 seconds or three minutes after the door is opened, or they can be configured to be shut off manually either with a key or when the door is closed. This cabinet has a white enamel finish that resists corrosion, and a clear acrylic window and red lettering to facilitate visual identification of the AED. Four holes are punched in the back of this cabinet for a wall-mount. Mounting instructions are included, and fasteners and tools are sold separately. Assembly is required for the handle and door latch on this cabinet. Assembly instructions are included, assembly tools are sold separately. This cabinet measures 13 x 13-1/2 x 7 inches (H x W x D).

A Humbling Week - Awards and Nominations
I have been humbled this week.
I have received two - not one - but two Ancestor Approved Awards.
Travis LeMaster of the TJL Genes: Preserving Our Family History blog. I treasure it for the very kind words he emailed when he gave it to me.
The other was from Bill West of the West in New England blog. Bill is one of the New England bloggers that I've come to rely on for their support and encouragement as I continue on my own blogging journey.
Thanks to both of you for thinking of me!
And then today the shortlist for the Family Tree Magazine (yes, a real printed magazine) Top 40 Best Genealogy Blogs came out. I checked the list out of curiosity to see who was there, not expecting to see Roots & Rambles.
Voting is open for the Family Tree Magazine contest until December 20th. You can vote here if you are so inclined.
Thanks again to Travis and Bill and that anonymous person who nominated me (maybe you'll reveal yourself?!!) for appreciating my blog. I'm so glad you like it.

Supremely talented custom toy builder Jin Saotome is back with another masterpiece, this time featuring the Half-Life series' most sharply-dressed bad guy, the headcrab zombie.
Standing 7" tall, the headcrab comes off to reveal a zombified skull inside. He's also got a busted-open chest and some great blood detail.
The good news? He's for sale! The bad news? He's up on eBay, so the bids might get a little out of control.

Fortunately for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, the man with the golden arm and silver helmet, the voting for the National Football League's annual MVP award takes place before the playoffs begin. Otherwise, it's possible he might not now have the distinction of being the first unanimous choice for the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player Award. Some voters might have had second thoughts, and possibly moved Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers ahead of him on their ballots. Brady, after all, was off his game against the New York Jets, who eliminated the favored Patriots in their one-and-done postseason. Rodgers, meanwhile, is the hottest QB of the moment, and might just take the Packers all the way in Sunday's Super Bowl.
As it is, Brady now joins Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Kurt Warner as two-time MVP winners. The all-time leader is the Colts' Peyton Manning with four. Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, and Brett Favre have three.
Just how much do you know about this season's top regular-season player? Take this quiz to find out:

|HOF Class of '01
William Guest was a member of both the Blue and Gray's football and track & field teams during his tenure at Kings Point. During his senior season on the gridiron, Guest was a dominant force on the team as the squad's leading rusher. He averaged 89 yards per game and 6.5 yards per carry. He scored the Mariners' longest three touchdowns of the season with runs of 30, 65, and 93 yards. The 93-yard touchdown run is still an Academy record which was tied in 1988, almost 47 years later.
In addition, Guest held an Academy Record that stood for over 25 years when he rushed for 211 yards and three touchdowns on nine carries against Wagner on November 17, 1951. An avid thrower on the track and field team, Guest competed in discus, javelin, shot put, and hammer. In a dual meet against undefeated Hofstra during his senior year, Guest scored 14 of the team's 76 winning points following two first-place finishes, a second-place performance, and a third-place finish. He won the gold medal in the javelin in the NY State smaller college meet. Guest registered a number of other athletic accomplishments outside the varsity athletics realm.
At Kings Point he was also a two-time heavyweight intramural wrestling champion, and following two years of active duty in the Navy, Guest played semi-professional football in the North Jersey Football League where he was a First Team All-League selection. He led his team to an undefeated league championship season in which he tied as the league's leading scorer.

[Beneath The Spin]
Because it was on that day, and at that very moment, that I fully recognized the depth of our self-loathing, and the psyschological corruption of my people.
As a direct result, Black people in America hate other Black people just as profoundly, and even more violently, than the most virulent White racist in the South.
Less than three hours after Barack Obama declared his candidacy for presidency, the feeding frenzy began among Black people.
It just so happened that Senator Obama declared his candidacy on the same day as Tavis Smiley's "State of Black America" national broadcast, and many had the audacity to criticize Obama for not putting off this historic event so he could appear on Tavis' broadcast.
During the broadcast--again, on this historic occasion--Dr. Cornel West formerly of Harvard University and now of Princeton ranted on national television that the Black community should be asking Obama, "How deep is your love for your people" and "Where is your money coming from?"
He indicated that Barack Obama didn't put this historic event off to appear on Tavis Smiley's broadcast because he had people talking to him that didn't warrant our trust. And as Prof. West was saying these things, Tavis was standing there grinning like a chess cat prowling a South Georgia cotton field.
That was the moment that Barack Obama got my unwavering support. It was at that very moment that I decided that this man was going to get my vote--and if that vote was wasted, as many suggested it would be at the time, so be it. Because it was on that day, and at that very moment, that I fully recognized the depth of our self-loathing, and the psyschological corruption of my people.
Later on that day I wrote, "as African Americans we are the product of a racist society–and not just any racist society, but a society that is more efficient in producing subtle racists than any other society that has ever existed on the face of this Earth. Due to the necessity of America's need to subjugate Black people, while at the same time, live up to the hypocrisy of our 'All men are created equal' credo, a form of racism has spontaneously evolved that is so subtle that even Black people have become racist against themselves–and amazingly, without even knowing it. As a direct result, Black people in America hate other Black people just as profoundly, and even more violently, than the most virulent White racist in the South. Clear evidence of that is the fact that of the thousands of homicides committed against Blacks every year, not one perpetrator was reported to have been wearing a sheet."
I continue to hold that belief, and it's been continually reinforced. It seems to me that the only difference between the modern Black man and the 19th century Black man, who shuffled about more interested in the master's welfare than his own, is the sophistication of his argument.
Today, instead of simply saying that we can't trust him because he's Black, we say, "The people talking to him don't warrant our trust." And today, instead of saying, "No Black man has sense enough to run this plantation", we say, "He lacks experience."
The situation is such that it's not safe for this brother to open his mouth without somebody parsing every comma, trying to find something to criticize–and when they can't find anything, they speculate about what he might have meant, or second guess what he should have said, or question his motives.
On father's Day Barack Obama spoke at the Apostolic Church of God, a predominately Black church in Chicago, Il. During his speech he discussed the need for man young Black men to step up to the plate and become better fathers. He pointed out that children who grow up without a father in the home are five times more likely to grow up in poverty, nine time more likely to drop out of school, and twenty times more likely to end up in prison. He also spoke of his own experience without a father. He recalled seeing how embarrassed his mother was to have to go to the market with food stamps in order to feed the family, and the pain she suffered when she couldn't get him some of the things that other children had. He also spoke of the epidemic of children killing children in the black community, and asked, "How many are we willing to lose?"
Believe it or not, there were many in the Black community who took serious issue with that speech. Even Dr. Boyce Watkins, one of this nation's most prominent scholars --note that I didn't limit it to "Black scholar"-- a brother that I consider a friend, and I highly respect, took issue. He asked, "why he waited to speak at a predominantly black church to give the message only to black parents?"
My response to Dr. Watkins was, had Senator Obama gone to a predominantly white forum to criticize black fatherhood, there might have been some validity to the argument that it was inappropriate, but that was far from the case. First, it wasn't black fatherhood he was criticizing. In fact, he took the time to commend those black fathers who had stepped up to the plate. He also went out of his way to praise his wife's father, who in spite of a severe disability that required him to get up an hour earlier than most people just to get to work on time, he managed to step up to the plate and bring the type of excellence to his parental responsibility that allowed him to raise two well rounded and successful children. So he wasn't criticizing black fatherhood at all–on the contrary, he was encouraging those being less than responsible to rethink their way of life.
And as for the propriety of addressing this issue in a predominantly black forum, I don't understand the objection. He told the truth, in a black setting, as a black man who grew up without a father. Who better to speak to an issue that needs so badly to be addressed in the black community than one of the most prominent figures in the community? And what would be a more appropriate place to deliver such a message than in a black church, and among black people? It seems to me that a good case could have been made that he would have been remiss not to have given such a speech.
We often talk about the courage to speak truth to power. That's exactly what the Senator Obama demonstrated. He's not a stupid man –he remembers the backlash that came down on Bill Cosby for broaching this very same subject.
And even Rev. Al Sharpton said he was taking a big chance. Yet, in spite of the fact that he desperately needs black support to win the presidency, he decided that it was so important to delivered this message to his people that he was willing to take the chance on losing that support. That is the true meaning of speaking truth to power.
The brother should be applauded instead of criticized, and I think he would have been if it were not for a latent undercurrent of hatred and distrust of Black people--but ironically, this time it's among ourselves.

The plank-to-frogger exercise is a full-body extravaganza, hitting many major muscle groups at once, says fitness expert Lacey Stone, who uses it on her Extreme Bootcamp app for iPhone and iPad.
What it does
The plank-to-squat combo works your abs, quads, calves and shoulder stabilizers, and it gets your heart racing.
What to do
Put your hands on the floor in front of you and extend your legs straight back into a plank or upper push-up position, with your body in a straight line from your head to your toes and your legs the width of your exercise mat.
From there, hop forward with both feet, lowering your bottom between your legs and your weight back into your heels as your hands come up to prayer position at the heart with your head up and shoulders back. Put your hands back on the floor and jump back into plank position. Repeat.
Beginner to intermediate exercisers should try a modified version of this move, adding another hop midway back to your hands before jumping again and lowering into the prayer squat. Double-hop your way back to plank. Repeat.
How much
Do three sets of 10 to 12 repetitions.
L.A. brands have an inside track on sports clothing
Want six-pack abs like in '300'? Think thousands of reps.
Get up! Study says sedentary time means less ability in everyday life

A senior trip to the Dominican Republic turned into an ordeal for about 200 students and chaperones from Lake Forest High School.
The vacation was great, they said, but the trip home was nothing short of brutal. Hours of delays for United Airlines flight 545 turned into a Sunday cancellation due to a mechanical issue, the Chicago-based company said.
A flight scheduled for earlier Monday was delayed so the crew could meet mandatory rest requirements.
But for the travelers, it wasn't just a matter of delays.
"I felt like we weren't even treated like human beings," said Eva Svigos. "We were basically abandoned on a plane for four and a half hours without anybody sitting in the cockpit."
Passengers complained of a lack of air conditioning, a lack of food, and uncomfortable delays on the tarmac. Federal Department of Transportation rules restrict tarmac delays to four hours for international flights.
"It felt like we weren't even American citizens. We tried to call the embassy," said Dead Svigos.
In a statement, United said it had apologized to the customers and offered each of them vouchers for future travel.

From the bestselling author of Saddam comes the definitive biography of Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamic revolution and how his fundamentalist legacy has forever influenced the course of Iran's relationship with the West. In February 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Tehran after nearly fifteen years in exile and received a hero's welcome. Just as the new world order sought to purge the communist ideologies of the Cold War, the religious doctrine of Islamic fundamentalism emerged to pose an even greater threat to post-Iron Curtain stability-and Khomeini would mastermind it into a revolution. Khomeini's Ghost is the account of how an impoverished young student from a remote area of southern Iran became the leader of one of the most dramatic upheavals of the modern age, and how his radical Islamic philosophy now lies at the heart of the modern-day conflict between Iran and the West. Con Coughlin draws on a wide variety of Iranian sources, including religious figures who knew and worked with Khomeini both in exile and in power. Both compelling and timely, Khomeini's Ghost is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand what lies at the center of many of the world's most intractable conflicts.

Queensland's Sunshine Coast will host the first IRONMAN World Championship held in the Southern Hemisphere. The IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will be staged in Mooloolaba in September, 2016.
The world championship is the pinnacle event in the global IRONMAN 70.3 calendar and will further strengthen an outstanding triathlon event portfolio in Queensland. The announcement is the result of a partnership between the Queensland Government, Sunshine Coast Council and IRONMAN.
The Sunshine Coast and Queensland region is regarded as one of the world's leading triathlon centers, with the hosting of the annual IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast, the iconic Mooloolaba and Noosa Triathlon Festivals and prior hosting of International Triathlon Union (ITU) series and championship events.
The South East Queensland region plays home to current IRONMAN 70.3 world champion Melissa Hauschildt, IRONMAN 70.3 Asia Pacific champion and Olympic gold medalist Jan Frodeno, IRONMAN world champion Pete Jacobs and IRONMAN World Championship medalist Caroline Steffen, among others.
"We are delighted to bring the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship to Australia," says Andrew Messick, Chief Executive Officer of IRONMAN. "Asia Pacific is a rapidly expanding region for our sport, particularly the Sunshine Coast and Queensland, both hugely popular strongholds for the IRONMAN brand."
"The region has a significant history in the sport of triathlon and is a popular destination that we know will deliver a world class event while providing genuine warmth of hospitality," Messick added.
Queensland Minister for Tourism, Major Events, Small Business and the Commonwealth Games Jann Stuckey said the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship would attract the world's best endurance athletes from across the nation and overseas to the Sunshine Coast in 2016.
"The Queensland Government's 20-year plan for tourism, Destination Success, outlines the importance of delivering events such as this which drive visitation to Queensland's destinations," said Ms Stuckey.
"The Sunshine Coast provides an ideal backdrop to deliver a memorable event for visiting competitors with athletes likely to 'Make the Most of the Moment' and stay on after the championship to experience the region's tourism offerings.
"As we look toward the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, of which triathlon is a core sport, it is events such as this that further demonstrate Queensland's ability to host spectacular international sporting events."
The IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship expects to attract 3,000 athletes from over 70 global qualifying events in locations such as Australia, Japan, Spain, South Africa and the Americas.
The championship is part of a week-long festival which will include the IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast race and a range of lifestyle events for the community and visitors to enjoy.
"We are excited to welcome triathletes from throughout our region and around the world for what we are confident will be a superb experience," said IRONMAN Asia Pacific CEO, Geoff Meyer. "The Sunshine Coast will be a magnificent setting – whether it is your goal to qualify for the world championship, or be a participant at the IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast triathlon, it will be a race week triathletes won't want to miss."
This year's IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship is set for Mont-Tremblant in Quebec, Canada on September 7, 2014 and the 2015 event will be hosted in Zell am See-Kaprun, SalzburgerLand, Austria on August 30, 2015.

Miss Snark,
What's with so many agents asking for 50 to 100 pages included with a simple query letter?As someone who doesn't have hundreds of dollars to spend on mailing queries, is there any way to sidestep sending whole chapters before an agent has even shown an interest?
Agents do that? Boy, not me. What a waste. You can normally tell within five pages if you want to read more. 50-100 pages is a partial, not a query.
I don't know any way around sending what's asked for. Look for the folks that want e-queries. Make sure you only send a #10 SASE with 39cents postage, not an envelope to return the whole thing.
This is a biz, there are expenses.
