Pressure, Expectations Mount as NJIT Men's Soccer Enters Division One
September 03, 2003
Team practice is looking a lot different for NJIT's men's soccer this season. The time alloted has not changed. Under the rules of college athletics, players are limited to 20 hours of practice a week. But according to team members, those 20 hours are lot tougher than last year's--longer runs, grueling drills, more sessions. There's a reason for that: Coach Pedro Lopes. Hired this season with a goal of making NJIT's entry into Division One soccer a success, Lopes and his new assistant coach Javier Velasco have a major challenge ahead. With backing from NJIT's president Robert A. Altenkirch, they intend to turn NJIT into a soccer-loving school and the team into a winner. As the Highlanders face their first Division One game Saturday, September 7 at Long Island's Adelphi University, the pressure is on like never before. How do you take a team that won only two games last year and turn it into a winner? "Our biggest challenge is that NJIT is very good academically, but athletics has not been seen as a priority here. We have to make athletics an equal concern to achieve success," he says. That's the big picture. The more narrow focus is on creating a soccer team that plays with sustained intensity and teamwork. Last year's game statistics show that the team has the raw talent, Lopes says. "We do have the athletes, there's no question there," says Lopes. But they were unable to translate their efforts into wins. Their passes weren't sharp enough. Their game strategy seemed often to be two steps behind the play. "Players have to play within a system. These players were thinking too much as individuals, now they are learning to work as a group, with discipline and professionalism," Lopes says. He says he's seeing a change of attitude already. "These players are eager to learn," he says. You don't shoot just because you have the ball, he says. You always play to your opponent's weaknesses. You teach players to recognize certain situations and capitalize on them. First he says, you work on the team's physical conditioning. "Our players have been injury-prone partly because they are taking longer to get fit," says Lopes,a Somerset resident who formerly worked as an assistant soccer coach at Rutgers University. That means more long runs, more intense drills, and the expectation that players log time in the weight room on their own. Even routine passing drills have been stepped up in speed, to give the team a harder workout. "Is it harder than last year? I don't know. I didn't ask anyone what they used to do. I'm concentrating on what we need to do now," he says. A native of Portugal, Lopes says he grew up with a soccer ball in his hands. His father was a fisherman and the family lived on a farm until they came here to live in the Ironbound Section of Newark when Lopes was 11 years old. "I missed the freedom of living in the countryside, but as a kid you adjust quickly. It was exciting to move," he says. He attended Newark's St. Benedict's Prep and played there before attending Rutgers. Assistant Coach Velasco, a S. Plainfield resident, is a native of Ecuador whose family moved here when he was 16 years old. He played varsity soccer at North Brunswick High School. He expects to spend much of his time recruiting, since the team has only 19 players compared to the 30 most schools have. Further, nine are seniors and they will be leaving next year. Most of the Highlander players are from soccer-loving nations, including Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria, Haiti, and Ecuador. The team's first home game is Sunday at 1 p.m. versus Millersville University. Any season predictions from Coach Lopes? "I won't get too specific on games. But we're going to do better than last year. That's a promise." >>

Certain factors can make you more likely to get cancer than another person. These are called risk factors. Because doctors do not know why, how, or where cancer of unknown primary origin (CUP), it is hard to identify risk factors for it.
Doctors do know, however, that smoking is a risk factor for many kinds of cancer. Certain foods have been linked to cancers of the stomach, colon, or rectum, which are all possible sources of CUP. Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, is another source of CUP. Finally, a certain family cancer history may also be considered a risk factor. If more than one close relative, such as a grandparent, parent, or sibling, has been diagnosed with colorectal, ovarian, or breast cancer, your risk for cancer may increase. Taking steps to lower your risk for cancer, such as quitting smoking, eating more fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, and using sunscreen, may also lower your risk for CUP.

The search for a missing Notre Dame graduate, who police suspect was murdered by his son, has expanded.
55-year-old Patrick Mikes Sr., of Troy, Michigan has been missing since last Friday.
His son, Patrick Mikes, Jr., a senior pre-med student at Notre Dame is being called a person of interest in the case.
But, so far, he has only been charged with credit card fraud.
Police believe the older Mikes was murdered in the family's basement outside Detroit.
Police sources tell our sister station in Detroit that they believe Patrick Mikes Sr. was murdered because he may have threatened to cut off his son financially.
On Friday, their search took them about 50 miles northwest of Troy, to the Flint area.
They searched the Flint River by boat and used cadaver dogs to scour a nature area as well as a nearby landfill.
Police are also handing out flyers asking residents there whether they've seen a charcoal colored infinity in the area over the past couple of days.
Investigators are also going door to door looking for leads.
Patrick Mikes Jr. remains free on $50,000 bond in connection with the unauthorized use of his younger brother's credit cards.

There's a wave sweeping through Hollywood.
In the last few weeks, Rihanna, "Real Housewives of ATL" star NeNe Leakes, Queen Latifah and Beyonce have all been seen sportin' similar Kate Gosselin meets '80s new wave highlighted hairdos.
A Flock of Seagulls meet a flock of divas!
They are not the same. Queen Latifah and Beyonce's are just long side bangs with their hair pulled back. They have both been sporting the hair color beofre Rhianna decided to do hers that way. Rhiannas is her actual hair cust that way and NeNe, who is not a celebrity, is wearing a short wig. Really was there nothing else to report? This is the lamest filler story.
No matter what hairdos they sport, I think all these women fake and ugly. What about their original haircolor?

Nene does it better...
LOL. You guys are so racist, but it's cool. Everyone can have their own opinion. I think RiRi looks beautiful. Beyonce is ripping off Rihanna's style for sure. Bt the time they are all in their 40's or 50's all these white bitches will be all plastic. These women of color will still be beautiful.
This hair style is so freaking UGLY. Rihanna has a very pretty face, it's sad someone convinced her to take on a hair style that makes her a ugly dog. Nene just finished off her transition to transvestite with the style.
Frann, my sister-in-law (black) has red hair the color of carrot top's and my father (black) has brown hair. Sorry honey, but we all really DON'T look alike the way someone like you would like to believe.
They all look like ass....
Latifah's the hottest of em all, gotta love those BBWs.
All hail the Queen. The rest are junk. Chewed up and spat out.
What sista did Gosselin steal that hair from? We know she didn't get that at some "white" salon...and IF she did it did not originate as a white hair style...that Gosselin hair is straight from the hood, PUH-LEASE!!!
rihanna is a trend setter. Everyone is trying to bite her hairdo and clothes. PLEASE GET YOUR OWN STYLE

It used to be that only the most fragile patients were wired to a cardiac monitor. Now, some hospitals are building "war rooms'' with row upon row of screens to track patients' heart rate and rhythm. Others, such as Tufts Medical Center in Boston, have installed monitors at every bedside.
The burgeoning use of heart monitors allows hospitals to care for sicker patients on regular floors - typically without hiring as many nurses as they do in intensive care units - and to admit patients faster, easing emergency room congestion. Many physicians routinely put patients on the monitors, knowing they can save lives by catching life-threatening abnormalities. And since monitoring is noninvasive, it seems harmless.

In every nation where we now have terrorism, we had first assaulted them. We overthrew their governments, installed dictators, undermined their economies — all to strengthen our business interests. America is under attack only because it is on the attack.
Even fanatics like al-Qaeda aren't really aggressors. They're fighting a defensive war, trying to force us out. The Western media never publish their demands because they are so reasonable. They basically come down to, "Go home and leave us alone. Pull your soldiers, your CIA agents, your missionaries, your corporations out of Muslim territory. If you do that, we'll stop attacking you." Nothing about destroying the West or forcing it to become Islamic. Just that the West should stay in the West.
If people knew this — knew how easy it would be to stop terrorism — they wouldn't want to fight this war. That's why the media ignore al-Qaeda's demands. Western leaders don't want people to see that the war's real purpose isn't to stop terrorism but to control the resources of this region. They actually want the terrorism because that gives them the excuse they need — the threat of an evil enemy.

Anti-abortion violence has been a critical part of the so-called culture wars since the 70s. And it raises profound issues that as a democratic society, built on a constitutional system and carefully constructed culture of religious pluralism, we have dealt with poorly.
Although the vast…
I'm sorry, you're pro what, again?
I'm not quite sure if I would categorize vandalism as an act of violence per se, but that's beside the points being presented here.
A new study of homegrown terrorism involving Muslim Americans suggests that the alarm bells set off by Republicans in Congress over sleeper cells of Islamic extremists may be much too loud.
Despite warnings of a potential wave of violent attacks hatched on U.S. soil, research by the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security finds that the number of attacks committed by Muslim Americans has fallen for the second year in a row. According to the study, 20 Muslim Americans carried out or were arrested for violent terrorist crimes in 2011, down from 26 in 2010 and 49 in 2009.
Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the report said, 193 Muslim Americans have been arrested or convicted of violent terrorist acts. Last year was an average year for such offenses, the Durham, N.C.-based center said.
The findings, which follow revelations that the New York Police Department has spied on the city's Muslim community, are sure to bolster critics who warn that singling out Muslim Americans is counterproductive and bigoted, and may make the country less safe.
"Muslim American terrorism continued to be a miniscule threat to public safety last year. None of America's 14,000 murders in 2011 were due to Islamic extremism," said Charles Kurzman, the University of North Carolina sociologist who wrote the study as well as the book "The Missing Martyrs: Why There Are So Few Muslim Terrorists." He said, "The challenge is for Americans to be vigilant about potential violence while keeping these threats in perspective."
David Schanzer, the Triangle Center's director, said the study proves that "those who predicted an inevitable, rapid increase of homegrown violent extremism among Muslim Americans were wrong." He added, "While homegrown radicalization is still a problem, the offenders from 2011 were less skilled and less connected with international terrorist organizations than the offenders in the prior two years."
The overall drop in numbers aside, the study will likely bolster one fear raised on Capitol Hill. One in five Muslim American terrorist offenders last year had military experience. That's a sharp increase — just 15 of the 193 perpetrators since 9/11 had served in the military — and suggests there may be some truth to officials' concerns that Islamic extremists are infiltrating the ranks.
Among the study's other findings:
- Only one of the 20 offenders last year was accused of actually executing a terrorist attack.
- The 20 offenders do not match any one ethnic or racial profile: 30 percent are Arab, 25 percent white, and 15 percent African American.
- Last year's offenders were more likely to be converts to Islam, with 40 percent of them having changed their religion compared to 35 percent of all Muslim American terrorist offenders since 9/11.
- Only two of the 20 offenders received terrorism training abroad, compared to eight in 2010 and 28 in 2009, suggesting that those who do commit violent acts are learning their skills at home.

Selena Gomez takes over the March issue of Seventeen magazine — posing for three different covers. She wore a different colored t-shirt for each cover emblazoned with words like "dream", "brave" and "confident". As usual, Sel is pushing a feel-good message and manages to look absolutely adorable in the process.
As for the cover story, the 21-year-old opens up about female pop stars and her inferiority complex. Selena expresses her support for Lorde, who had some unkind things to say about "Come & Get It", saying: "I'm going to support her whether she likes me or not because I think she's doing great things." Sel also remains hopeful that their feud will end. "Someday I will see her and we'll be cool."
Her relationship with Katy Perry is much less dramatic. In fact, she turns to the prismatic superstar for love advice. "I actually talked to Katy Perry about guys who are intimidated by strong girls. I haven't found someone yet who could understand my lifestyle, support it, love me through it, and not be threatened by it. It's hard. I do think I might scare some guys, because I'm like, 'I want to change the world! I have dreams! What do you want to do?' But I only know how to be me. I've changed myself for guys, and it doesn't work. Eventually, I will find someone who is going to like me for the crazy person I am."
Selena talking about her power song in Seventeen Magazine: "I love my song 'Who Says'. It's my anthem for girls,When I perform it, I have everyone sing to me and don't sing. I want them to hear themselves say, "Who says I'm not perfect? Who says I'm not beautiful? Who says I'm not worth it?' It's the coolest thing for girls to feel that."
Selena in Seventeen Magazine : "You can't be afraid of what people are going to say, because you're never going to make everyone happy. Girls are scared of saying what they want. So when you don't like something, you have to say it. Demi taught me that. Just saying it out loud is the first step to taking away the fear. It took me a long time to be able to say what I wanted, even with my parents. I tried to beat around the bush, but I realized if I just said what I was thinking, I would feel so much better. It's not easy, but there's a way to do it. Simply say, 'No, this doesn't feel right,' as opposed to doing it aggressively."
Selena reveals that she felt "defeated" and "like an underdog" when compared to fellow Disney divas like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato: "This year is when I really started feeling powerful. I had always been the underdog secretly. I was on Disney when it was Miley [Cyrus], the Jonas Brothers, and Demi [Lovato], Even though my show was picked up, it seemed like I was putting in so much work and seeing no results. I questioned the way I looked, acted, sang, and wrote. I started becoming very stale with my music, and I realized that I was doing things for other people. Then I turned 20, went through a really bad breakup, and realized I needed to pick up everything. I needed to have "Come & Get It" It'd be amazing. I wanted it all to be me. I was tired of feeling defeated. All this time, I was so pissed trying to figure out why I felt like such an underdog, and I finally realized I just wasn't ready. I'm glad it's taken me this long to get where I am because now I am ready for it."
Selena on girls supporting each other in Seventeen Magazine : "I love my girl friends more than I've loved any of my boyfriends because they have supported me, loved me, and always stood by my side. Some girl will drop you in five seconds for the right guy. That's not how it's suppose to be. That's why I love Demi and Taylor [Swift] they support females and love to have that empowerment! I wish girls would stop hurting each other. It's all competitive through fashion, best friends, and boys, boys, boys! My wish is that girls would love girls more."
Selena talking about her fans in Seventeen Magazine: "I don't feel like I can do enough for my fans. I work a lot, I work hard, and I get tired. But when you walk onstage and see these people who wait hours outside just to see you, it's the greatest thing in the world. But it baffles me because they do so much for me and I don't feel like I can do enough for them."

I finally got my Women in Metal issue of Decibel yesterday. Last night as I was browsing through articles, I noticed that my blog got a shout-out in the header of the cover page article, featuring the interviews with Laura, Mlny, and Marissa. I'm wondering which one of them got my blog some publicity - it's likely Laura. Later today, I'm writing a letter to the editor of Decibel to show my appreciation. This just rules no matter how you cut it.
Stay tuned to my blog next week as I turn the tables on gender stereotypes in the media. I'll be counting down the Top 10 sexiest men in sludge/doom metal. You won't want to miss it!

LONDON (AP) -- Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed the rematch between British fighters Carl Froch and George Groves for the WBA and IBF super-middleweight titles will take place at Wembley Stadium in November.
Froch retained his WBA and IBF titles with a ninth-round stoppage against Groves in Manchester on Nov. 23. Groves launched an appeal, saying referee Howard Foster stopped the fight prematurely, and the IBF then ordered a rematch.
It will be on May 31, when Froch's belts will be at stake again.

I'm not an art critic, but as 7 and 8 have said, here I am, I really am having an experience of art with WoW, as are many other people out there. My experience of it makes it real.
Now, if you don't experience it for some reason, perhaps there is something blocking you -- a belief that no game could be art perhaps? Many things, from rock and roll to modern painting, have had to overcome the idea that they have to be traditionally accepted in order to be art. But that's not true -- they just have to reach out to some people (not even all people) and give them an artistic experience.
Art is one of those abstract things like unconditional love, understanding, and compassion which is so beautifully and uniquely human. The fact that we experience these things proves they are real.

Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2010
"Archives of American Time does something only a few special books have been able to do quite so well in recent years: it makes nineteenth-century American literature relevant to some of the most important arguments being made right now by scholars in other areas—arguments about temporality and spatial scale, print, postcoloniality, and global literary culture."—Trish Loughran, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
American historians have typically argued that a shared experience of time worked to bind the antebellum nation together. Trains, technology, and expanding market forces catapulted the United States into the future on a straight line of progressive time. The nation's exceedingly diverse population could cluster around this common temporality as one forward-looking people.
In a bold revision of this narrative, Archives of American Time examines American literature's figures and forms to disclose the competing temporalities that in fact defined the antebellum period. Through discussions that link literature's essential qualities to social theories of modernity, Lloyd Pratt asserts that the competition between these varied temporalities forestalled the consolidation of national and racial identity. Paying close attention to the relationship between literary genre and theories of nationalism, race, and regionalism, Archives of American Time shows how the fine details of literary genres tell against the notion that they helped to create national, racial, or regional communities. Its chapters focus on images of invasive forms of print culture, the American historical romance, African American life writing, and Southwestern humor. Each in turn revises our sense of how these images and genres work in such a way as to reconnect them to a broad literary and social history of modernity. At precisely the moment when American authors began self-consciously to quest after a future in which national and racial identity would reign triumphant over all, their writing turned out to restructure time in a way that began foreclosing on that particular future.
Lloyd Pratt teaches English at Michigan State University.

Les Subsistances - 8bis quai St Vincent 69001 Lyon // t: 04.72.00.11.71 // f: 04.72.00.11.70 //
In addition to its graduate courses, the
offers a one-year, Postgraduate programme with an international orientation, for a small group of student-researchers who have acquired at least a DNSEP or a Master's degree.
In 1999, ENSBA, convinced that the singularity of an art school depends, among other things, on its freedom to reinvent itself and fully assume its role of transmission, decided to set up a postgraduate course program for a selected group of five young artists from different geographical backgrounds, already actively engaged in an art practice. During this yearlong program they are invited to pursue their work and will be given full access to the school's facilities and studios. The development of individual work will be nourished through constant critical interaction, the creation of a collective project and opportunities for travel.
It is an articulation of elements that are too often kept separate: education and professionalism, the protected environment of the school and exposure to the world. The postgraduate program offers and involves a social experience based on openness to the exterior, which hopefully creates a certain form of destabilization.
Foreign travel, within and outside of Europe, will lead the group to meet many artists and art professionals, to analyze many exhibitions and artistic events, and observe, at the scale of a city, the conditions, needs and that which fuels an artistic scene.
Key Concepts
Personal commitment
Exchange and critical work
Ability to engage in reflection and collective activity.
Challenges & tools
This program is designed for five young artists, with the aim of making them familiar with the contemporary art context, to widen and sharpen their knowledge and to stimulate them to continue with their work.
The artists will enjoy a collective space in which to develop their work, and can also take advantage of the school's facilities and workshops. Emphasis will be put on the growth of everyone's work ; on the making of a collective project (exhibition, publication…) ; on discussions with personalities from different backgrounds : artists, historians, art critics, curators, thinkers and philosophers…
Since its creation in 1999, the Postgraduate of the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon supports young artists in the professional field of contemporary art.
Among the 65 artists who participated in the Postgraduate from its origin, determine the statistical distribution of women between 48% and 52% male, between 36% and 64% foreign origins of French and dual nationality, with more 15 countries represented ...
