FGCU dual threat: Barnes shines in both volleyball and softball
FGCU dual threat: Barnes shines in both volleyball and softball
The offseason. For college athletes, it's a time to relax, catch up on school work, recover from the past season and prepare for the upcoming season.
Most FGCU's athletes get the chance to enjoy the perks of the less demanding offseason, except for one. Jessica Barnes is the only athlete at FGCU without an offseason, because she's FGCU's only dual-athlete. She plays volleyball, in the fall, and softball, in the spring, for the Eagles.
"I really never have that time of the year where I'm not competing toward a championship," Barnes said. "I love staying busy."
Going for a double-major in computer information systems and finance, the junior said she has to do a lot of school work on her own and go past most other students' efforts by meeting with professors outside of class to catch up on missed assignments and lectures.
"The off season is usually when you schedule your harder classes and when you're able to be more flexible with practice," explained Barnes. "The most difficult thing is managing my classes throughout the entire year and always going with my body since I don't have an off season to take a break from that."
Playing two sports in college is actually a light load for Barnes.
"I actually played six varsity sports in high school," Barnes said as she began to list off tennis, cross country, basketball, and track and field as other sports she enjoyed in high school.
Originally recruited for softball, the Winter Haven native was inspired to play two Division I sports before she started her freshman year after meeting Cheyenne Jenks two-sport athlete and former Naples High standout. Jenks also played volleyball and softball at FGCU.
"I saw her play and my coach told me she was a really good athlete who played both and that that would be a possibility for me," Barnes said. "So of course I jumped at the opportunity."
Barnes said volleyball coach Dave Nichols didn't make any promises about playing both sports.
"We talked to Coach Nichols before I came here my freshman year and told him I'd be interested. He basically just emailed me back and said 'OK, come out and we'll see how you do. If you're good, we'll invite you on the team,'" Barnes said. "It just took off since then."
Nichols doesn't regret giving Barnes a shot at volleyball. Going into her fourth season, the 5-foot-8 outside hitter has made a positive impact, including Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honors and recorded 2.30 kills/set giving her the third highest rank on the team during her sophomore year.
Now, only a few weeks into the 2013 season Barnes has recorded 55 kills. The junior was also named to the All-Tournament team during the Seminole Invitational at Florida State University earlier this month after leading the Eagles with 36 kills over a three match weekend. This past weekend, Barnes led the Eagles with nine kills in front of FGCU's record-breaking audience during their match against No. 3 Penn State.
Not only does Barnes have a powerful spike, she has a dominant swing. Last season, Barnes started 50 of her 54 appearances on the softball team, tallying up nine multi-RBI games and five multi-steal games. The outfielder was named Atlantic Sun Player of the week after hitting two home runs and eight RBI's during the week of April 8 and recorded 14 total bases off of six hits for a 1.077 slugging percentage. Barnes also received national rankings for her four triples (38th) and in stolen bases (50th). Barnes finished up her 2012 season with 51 hits and 31 RBI's, giving her a batting average of .319.
She received all of these accolades despite a knee injury that required micro fracture surgery. After worsening, sharp pains in her left knee from an injury in high school, Barnes decided to have what many consider to be a risky, "career-killing" operation with hopes to prolong her career. Considered a "last resort" operation, micro fracture surgery has become popular in recent among many professional athletes like former NBA player, Jason Kidd. Micro fracture surgery is a cartilage repair surgical technique that allows drained bone marrow from tiny fractures from the underlying bone to create a new, "artificial" cartilage.
After a year of recovery, Barnes is better than ever — in both sports.
"It just gets sore after working out," Barnes shared. "Softball isn't as demanding on me but after surgery I still felt it. I finished my rehab right before the season started. We just progressed into practice right up until my very first game."

Naples in a nutshell
... based on my experience so here goes! 1) Coffee Bars So the culture here is to go into a cafe, and drink a shot (of espresso) like you do in a bar, just that it's coffee instead of alcohol. 1 espresso shot is usually just €1, and it's served with sparkling water. You pay at the register first, then bring your coffee over to the bar to get your drink. There usually aren't seats for you to slowly savour your coffee, it's more like a ...
Capri, Sorrento, Pompeii
... is no end of curious tidbits of info. about Pompeii but two of the more interesting in case we think they are contemporary inventions, are that the roads have speed humps built has three raised stone islands in the road, and the roads have cats eyes - pieces of marble the size of large stones regularly interspersed with grey stone. The marble shines at night under flame torch or moonlight. We spent most of our time within a short distance of the main square. It ...
Pompeii, Naples and Our Last Ship Day
... we were all surprised when Chris was able to stroll in with the wine (the x-ray screening was done at the port, not on the ship, which is easier for bringing alcohol back). We all went to grandpa's suite for a few glasses of wine, and then Michelle, Chris, Andy and I headed out for pizza. Naples is the founding place of Pizza, and the best pizza in the world is supposed to be found there. In particular, there's one spot where everyone goes, and that ...

Back in old Napoli, that's Amore!
And we fell in love with Naples ! The ship docks around seven this morning, just as we are waking. It is nice to not have the alarm go off this morning! The view from our balcony towards town is quite picturesque with the buildings a mixture of new and old, and we can see the glass dome of a building that Kevin remembers visiting in 1977 and he want to do the 'nostalgia' photo at! We have nothing really planned for today and the ship docks ...
From beautiful Siena to Napoleon filth.
... lung cancer from passive smoking!!!! [travel tip - DO NOT STAY IN NAPLES!!!!] That is hands down the best tip i could give you. Even stay an hour away or down in Sorrento. Catch the circumvesuviana each day to Pompeii etc if that's all you want to come for. Yes you will have to deal with the hoards of filthy people on the subway and at the stations, but at least you can leave at the end of the day and not be confined to your hotel ! And maybe Sorrento has fresh air. We didn't get ...

Early Clinical Results Unveiled at Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery
Annual Meeting
LAKE TAHOE, Calif., July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Early clinical results from the US and Argentina reveal that a new minimally invasive procedure successfully eliminates pain and disability caused by lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), a condition that, in severe form, can cripple sufferers. Announced today at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) Annual Meeting in Lake Tahoe, Calif., these early results hold great promise for the nearly 1.5 million patients who are newly diagnosed each year and the neurointerventional practitioners committed to innovating new treatment options as alternatives to traditional surgery.
According to Joshua A. Hirsch, M.D., study presenter and Director of Interventional Neuroradiology/Endovascular Neurosurgery and Chief of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, the Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD(TM)) procedure offers patients that previously would have required open surgical treatment an efficacious alternative that can yield the same result with potentially fewer complications and a shorter recovery period. "The beauty of this procedure is that we have the opportunity to restore quality of life to hundreds of thousands of patients who are affected by LSS with an incision far smaller than a dime."
Lumbar stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, known as the lumbar area. This narrowing occurs when bone and/or ligament growth restricts the canal, squeezing and irritating the nerves that branch out from the spinal cord. This compression causes patients to experience low back pain, leg fatigue and pain, and, in severe cases, a significant reduced capacity for physical activity, including walking.
Designed to remove the bone and enlarged ligaments that compress the
nerve roots, practitioners perform MILD(TM) using a recently-

Dimensions: - Medium - width 40cm x height 30cm - Large - width 48cm x height 37cm We think these classic, unfussy designs work best in an English garden. Although the inspiration came from Tuscany, the pots have been made in Turkey. They are hand thrown (sometimes from 2 pieces of clay for the larger pots) by Argun and his son who are the 3rd and 4th generation of potters from the Izmir region on the Aegean coast. The clay from this area ages to a lovely patina, as the salts slowly leach to the surface. Each pot is fired to 1080 degrees C (to make it as frost proof as possible) and has an extra large drainage hole in the base. Available in more than one size. All sizes sold separately.

AT&T's Fourth Quarter Hail Mary For T-Mobile
When news breaks on Thanksgiving, you can safely bet that it's bad news. AT&T's announcement last week that it had withdrawn its application to acquire T-Mobile (and started preparing for the $4 billion payout it owes should the deal fail) is a great example.

Remember The Samsung Nexus Prime? Verizon Sure Does
It's the age old tale. Company makes phone. Company codenames phone (sometimes multiple times).

To Build Or Not To Build, That Is The Windows Phone App Dev Question
A while back, I used one of my phone reviews as a platform to make a desperate, but necessary, plea to developers: Please build cool apps for Windows Phone 7.5. Come to find Microsoft had been making the same plea for a while as part of a broader support program called BizSpark, which gives tech startups from all walks of life ranging from desktop to the cloud to mobile the support they need… Read More
Bag Week Review: The Chrome Anton
What is it?
Is it a messenger bag? Is it a briefcase? How about both? Chrome's Anton laptop bag is equal parts business and play. It comes in both green and black and has a real military feel to it, at least in army green. It may not have the most pockets, or be the lightest bag I've toted around, but I can't help but love it. You can tell the user was in mind during the… Read More
Bag Week Review: Incase Alloy Messenger Bag
What is it?
So you've already heard about the Incase Alloy Series Compact Backpack, and perhaps you felt that the style was super slick but you tend to prefer messenger bags over backpacks. Well, no worries. Incase has a space pack for every need, including the Alloy Messenger Bag. It's got the same silvery metallic finish, and fits just as much of your junk, but can be tossed over… Read More
4.3-Inch Nokia Lumia 900 Gets Leaked By Nokia (Video)

With the first round of roster cuts looming for all NFL teams later this afternoon, the Buffalo Bills appear to be adding a player to their roster. Several outlets are reporting this evening that the Bills will acquire Seattle Seahawks QB Tarvaris Jackson. Does this move spell the end of Vince Young in Buffalo? The Bills currently have three quarterbacks on their roster as Young has been battling with journeyman Tyler Thigpen as the team's backup quarterback spot behind Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Vince Young has had an up and down tenure with the Bills. He looked good at times during the offseason in minicamps but head coach Chan Gailey told the media on several accounts that Young was struggling with the Bills offensive system. Jackson became expendable in Seattle after the team drafted Russell Wilson and acquired free agent QB Matt Flynn. The veteran signal caller has yet to take the field this preseason for the Seahawks.
Young did little against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week in order to solidify his status as a backup for the Bills. Young completed just ten of 26 passes and threw two interceptions. The former University of Texas quarterback has struggled to catch on with a team since being released by the Tennessee Titans.
Last season, Young was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and famously dubbed the 2011 Eagles as the Dream Team prior to the start of the season, a moniker which haunted the team all season. In limited action while replaced Michael Vick, Young struggled with turnovers. He played under a one-year contract last season and generated little interest on the free agent market until being signed to a relatively small contract by the Bills this offseason.
Of course, Young could be retained and Thigpen becomes the odd man out in Buffalo. Then again, it's possible that the Bills could release both quarterbacks and keep Jackson as Ryan Fitzpatrick's backup for the 2012 season.
The potential trade between the Seahawks and Bills has been complicated with details surrounding Jackson's salary for this season. It has been reported that Jackson would renegotiate his salary in order to join another team.

SHANGHAI, China, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Sundia MediTech, a CRO company based in Shanghai, China and Xcovery, a company based in Florida, U.S.A. jointly announced their 2 year collaborative success in new drug discovery at IBC's BioProcess International Conference yesterday in San Diego, USA. So far their collaboration has achieved 4 pre-clinic candidates, with 2 more candidates to be identified within the next 3 months. Dr. Xiaochuan Wang, CEO of Sundia MediTech Company and Ms. Teri A. Swift, Vice President for Business Development of Xcovery, made the announcement together.
Both of Xcovery's founders are legendary figures in the U.S. biotech industry. Mr. Sherry Snyder, CEO of the company, is a pioneer and leader of this industry with significant contributions towards its development. In his professional career, he founded different companies including the well-known biotech company Genzyme. Company CSO Dr. Chris Liang earned his reputation as a leading drug discovery expert from his leadership and contribution to the discovery of Sutent, Pfizer's leading anti-cancer drug. In recent years, he continued to achieve multiple successes in drug discovery.
In 2006, Mr. Snyder invited Dr. Liang to start a new drug discovery company Xcovery. They abandoned the old model of using internal resources to do research and utilized almost 100% CRO resources for R&D work instead. After evaluating many CRO companies, amongst more than 10 in China they selected Sundia as their CRO service provider. "We are honored to have the opportunity of providing R&D service to Xcovery," said Sundia's CEO Dr. Xiaochuan Wang. "It is Sundia's objective to provide high end CRO service with rich R&D content to our clients. We have successfully identified 12 new pre-clinic candidates for our client companies from different countries."
According to Dr. Chris Liang, the result of Xcovery's collaboratio

Recruiting Coordinator InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took a week. I interviewed at Visa Inc. in October 2014.
The interview process was very fast - since this was a entry level position, the turn around was only about a week. The interview process also doubled as a mini-job preview as the coordinator and interview panel conducted an interview via each of the interview methods Visa uses - phone, video, and in-person. Everyone I spoke with was incredibly friendly and helpful in answering all of my questions regarding the role and responsibilities. They clearly laid out the tasks I would be responsible for and what kind of person the had envisioned for this role.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Austin, TX) in September 2013.
Very quick process. Received phone call from staffing agency on a Tuesday; initial phone screen. Wednesday received call for face-to-face interview for Thursday. Thursday: face to face interview, 2 hour process, 4, 30 minute interviews with different HR and recruiting managers. Friday: received offer.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Foster City, CA) in October 2012.
Very professional and easy process. Visa contacted me for a phone screen and received a call that week to come in for an onsite interview. The overall interview process was very smooth. I walked into the lobby and they badged me in. Someone from HR came downstairs to get me and escorted me to a conference room. I spoke to three different people: A Recruiter, Sr. Business Leader, Corporate Services and Sr. Business Leader, Global Talent Acquisition. I met with each person individually for 30 minutes. They had a good guy/bad guy interview style. Very nice people.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Visa Inc..
Int-ital communication via LinkedIn and was contacted by a TA to my mobile , spoke about the role etc . After the phone call was sent an email invite for a face to face interview. On the day of face to face interview. I was ill on the day of interview , I went for it. They asked me to go through my resume with them. But I couldnt do in detail because I was coughing and feeling very weak. I kinda sense that i would not be selected , but if i were on their shoes i would at least give one more chance for next interview. Not only that I also wished that they would inform me if i was not selected. I had to call up to check after one week of the interview and they replied me that the team manager is not back from his trip so they cannot decide yet. so after waiting for another 2 more weeks , I called them up again to check the status as i have not received any update from them. They just replied me saying that you are not selected! I asked the reason , they felt that i might not be able to handle the volume of work and they have already found someone else.

Before Skullgirls, that is.
%Gallery-118997% With a fight stick in my lap, I checked out the mix-ups tutorial first. Here, the computer tries to catch you off guard with a bunch of mix-up combos. But the beauty of this is that there isn't any set pattern in place, so the CPU never gets locked into stagnant combos. It's fresh during each attack pattern and it really kept me on my toes.
I was surprised, since a majority of the tutorials in fighting games focus on being offensive and attacking nonstop -- hit confirmations and punishing exercises will certainly be included here -- but skilled players will tell you that constantly attacking is about the dumbest thing you can do. Spacing and a good defense are as paramount to victory as punching your opponent more times than they've punched you. And that's why I was completely enamored by Skullgirls' tutorial area.
