CHAMPIONS! Green Bay Claims 2014 Horizon League Tournament Title
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Sophomore Howard Scott (Exeter, England) refused to give up on Sunday afternoon, and in the end that attitude propelled No. 1 Green Bay (18-7) to the title at the 2014 Horizon League Men's Tennis Championship at the University of Michigan Varsity Tennis Center. Scott rallied from down 5-1 in the third set to post a 7-6, 4-6, 7-5 victory at No. 3 singles and secure a 4-3 victory for the Phoenix over No. 2 Cleveland State.
With the victory, head coach Mark Thomas and Green Bay earned the automatic berth into the 2014 NCAA Men's Tennis Championship for the second time in the past three seasons. Last season, the Phoenix fell 4-3 to the Vikings, with Scott losing the decisive match.
Green Bay won the crucial doubles point with victories at No. 1 doubles and No. 3 doubles, and then went in front 3-1 when junior Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) posted a 6-2, 6-3 win at No. 1 singles and sophomore Leopold Gomez Islinger (Weiden, Germany) claimed a 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 at No. 2 singles.
Cleveland State rallied to knot the match at 3-3 with hard-fought wins at No. 4 and No. 6 singles, leaving the match result up the action at No. 3 singles. Scott prevailed, breaking the serve of Jorge Van Der Vloet to move ahead 6-5 and then holding at love to for the victory which brought his teammates storming to congratulate the sophomore.
Green Bay will find out its first-round opponent for the NCAA Tournament on Tuesday. Check GreenBayPhoenix.com on Monday for more details.

Adult Programs
Opera brings together all the great arts forms — music, theater and dance. There is a lot happening on the stage and even more ways to enjoy your opera-going experience. TDO offers a variety of programs, from lectures and discussions to informal happy hours, all designed to help you maximize your understanding of opera. We hope you will join us for an upcoming event. See the TDO calendar for a complete listing of all events.
Lectures & Discussions
TDO offers more than one way to look at each opera. Whether you'd like to listen to a formal lecture about a composer and the history of an opera, or join in a lively discussion on social issues portrayed in a particular opera, TDO has an event for you.
|Pre-Opera Talks
Join us for the Joy and Ronald Mankoff Pre-Opera Talks one hour before each TDO performance. These 30-minute lectures are FREE with a ticket to a TDO performance. Beat the traffic and enjoy a beverage while you learn about the opera you're about to see.
|Opera Insights
Hear directly from the cast and artistic teams of each opera at Opera Insights.
|Composing Conversations
Join TDO as they present noteworthy composers as part of the ongoing Composing Conversations series.
Hear from national and local experts as they discuss a variety of arts related issues at Conversations with Keith, featuring TDO General Director Keith Cerny and moderated by D Magazine Arts Editor Peter Simek.
TDO believes that learning about opera can be fun! And not all learning is done in a formal setting. That's why TDO has two social event series that focus on contextual aspects of the operas — the historical background, the cultural setting of the opera, the cultural context of the composer/librettist, or the social issues surrounding the opera itself.

Super Bowl Ticket Lottery
I'm fairly certain that PSL holders will find out sometime this week if they get selected to purchase 2 Super Bowl tickets. From what I remember, face value last year was $800 & $1,000.
Assuming we win next week, if anyone gets selected in the lottery and cannot go, PLEASE let me know. There would be nothing better than for me to take my son to the Super Bowl.Ravens Nest #1, Harford County

Drawing is tomorrow. Letters start going out on Weds. Winners also notified by email by end of week.

Re: Super Bowl Ticket Lottery
Crunched some numbers. Lucas oil stadium can hold up to 70000 roughly equivalent to the ravens stadiums 71008. Last year the NFL distributed 17.5% of the tickets to each of the participating teams. Assuming about 3000 tickets won't make it to the lottery (players families, gifts, Tyrod Taylor, whatever...) that leaves 9250 tickets in the lottery. Assuming the average number of seats for a PSL holder is around 3 there are 24000 possible people that could wind up in this lottery with (9250/2) 4625 possible winners. So with all of these back of the envelope calculations you have a 17% of winning in the lottery.
Edit: Just read that there are two lotteries, one for club and one for regular and it looks like they distribute over each equally. assuming that's right then each group gets 2075. Using the above same assumptions there are 8196 club level seats which would represent (8196/3) 2732 owners so you have an amazing 84% chance of winning in the lottery. The rest of us (62812/3) 21000 owners have a paltry 11% chance of winning.
Edit Again: Each suite can purchase 8 Superbowl tickets. There are 119 suites which would remove 982 tickets from the available pool. This reduces available lottery tickets for each group to 2067 making club level percentages 75% and the rest of us at 10%.

Re: Super Bowl Ticket Lottery
For SB XXXV, I refused to pay brokers' fees and decided to go to Tampa with $4,000 stuffed in Mrs T's bra. Son and son-in-law got in via bribe-the ushers scam (along with many of you who are reading this but won't admit to the illegality of the actions). Because she is Mrs-goody-two-shoes who won't break laws, my choices were to go into the game while leaving her alone outside the stadium in a big city, or watching the game with her and a couple dozen Giants fans on a 12 foot screen projection TV a few blocks away in a Tampa Park. I chose the gallant approach, and therefore missed the opportunity.
Not this time! I already have air travel and hotel secured. If I don't win the lottery and cannot outbid my good friend Fred, I will succumb to paying broker's fees. I have one already lined up.
Just win at Foxborough, and I will live the dream of every Ravens fan! I may spend the rest of my life paying off these tickets, but: WTF? I would be worth it to me.
- Suite holders get one SB ticket for each seat in their suites. 100 suites x about 24 average per suite = 2400 removed from everyday fan calculation
- Club seat holders get a higher % of winning. I don't know what it is, but, just for discussion, assume 1:4 chance x 8,000 club seats = another 2,000
Now recalculate.
I stopped learning math many years ago, but would not be surprised to see the odds for general admission around 5% to 10%.

Re: Super Bowl Ticket Lottery
The saddest part of the suites getting the tickets. Most of them are of the WINE and Cheese crew that only goes to be something... Not the Fan that lives in the NFL world.
That is the sad part!!

Re: Super Bowl Ticket Lottery
still doesnt make the numbers much better, but helps a little..
Re: Super Bowl Ticket Lottery
Speaking of tics, a lot of you know Fan Man, the ultimate fan from Nest 1. He was down there too but didn't have any tics at all. Thousands of Ravens fans went just for the parties. That would have killed me, being so close but unable to get in.
So Fan was just walking along in his outfit and was spotted by a TV crew. A local TV station was looking for contestants for a trivia game. The winner got 2 free
tics to the SB game.
He went on vs some chick from down there. The questions were really easy and even I got them all right but the gal missed one and Fan Man got two free tics.
What a fan.

I had a P94 a few years back and I liked it except for the grip was a little big for my hands. This is something I usually never have happen to me. I don't have huge hands but they are not small. It had a Hogue grips on it though and those are many times a little bigger than OEM in my dealings with them. The weapon fired great. I never had a problem out of it and the groups were pretty good up to about40 yards. I had not (at the time) had any desire to have a Ruger semi auto bigger than a 22 after watching several friends have fits with P89's. It seemed to me like it was a hit and miss thing much like Smith and Wesson semi autos were back in the 80s-90's so I pretty much stayed clear if them both for a while. I got the P-94 in a trade.
I got to shoot a P95 a while back while out at a public range. I liked the feel though it appeared to be the same old design they had been using for years it did feel different shooting the P95 and it wasn't just a case of poly frame over the alloy ones they used for my P94 It didn't group all that well for me but I can't say it wasn't me with the problem. I was not at my best all day and the first time with a new weapon is always a little shaky.
I'm not going to say yeah go get it or no it's junk. What I will say is for the money It's not a bad deal but if it were me I would save a little longer and look at something with a little more proven over time. The people that like them love them it seems. And I have not heard any real bad news about them. I would be more comfortable going in another direction. But this is your handgun, not mine. Not anyone else's. Whatever direction you choose to go make sue that you are comfortable with it. And that you can trust it without any thought. Because if you can't....It's a paperweight.
Like I said from what I've seen they seem to be reliable and more accurate than they were some years back (the P Series as a whole). If you do get it please make sure to post a range report. I'd love to see how it does. Not a lot of people here have them and I don't know many people personally that have them either. So any 1st hand info on them would be good to have.

Wildcats Wrap up Mason Rudolph Championship
Sept. 22, 2013
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – On the final day of the Mason Rudolph Championship, the University of Kentucky women's golf team combined to shoot a 10-over par, 298 to finish the tournament in 10th place at 35-over par overall.
The Wildcats saved their best round of 18 holes for the final day at the Vanderbilt Legends Club. UCLA took home the team championship with a three-day total of 14-under par, while Arizona State (+7), Vanderbilt (+12), Duke (+12) and North Carolina State (+16) completed the top five.
Rounding out the rest of the standings were North Carolina (+17), Auburn (+21), Alabama (+31), Michigan State (+32), Virginia (+37), Wake Forest (+38), Texas (+40), Baylor (+42) and Princeton (+61).
UK senior Liz Breed was the top finisher in a tie for 13th for the Wildcats at two-over par (218). The Waynesboro, Pa., native produced eight birdies and an eagle during the 54-hole tournament. Breed recorded a final round of one-over par, 73.
Freshman Haley Mills registered her best score on Sunday with a two-over par, round of 74. Mills tied for 46th at 12-over par for the entire tournament.
Finishing one stroke behind Mills was sophomore Sarah Harris at 13-over par, which placed her in a tie for 52nd. Harris notched a final round of 18 score of four-over par, 76. Fellow sophomore Cylia Damerau tied for 63rd at 16-over par after putting together a third round score of seven-over, 79.
Of the five UK golfers this weekend, freshman Alessandra Walker improved the most from the first round to the final round. The Paintsville, Ky., native struggled on Friday with a 16-over, but bounced back to record rounds of two-over par, 74 and three-over par, 75 on Saturday and Sunday. Walker came in at 77th at 21-over par.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
"Ram air" as you call it is just taking advantage of inertial of the flowing air stream and/or 'organ pip' effect. If you just suck the gas/air mixture from whatever length runner in a stock manifold, you will likely charge the cylinder w/ a variable amount of mixture, a little less than 100% and a little more than 100% depending on runner length, RPM, etc.
On the other hand performance manifolds attempt to take advantage of the physics of a flowing compressible fluid and obtain a 'supercharge' effect. When tuning using these principles, you MUST compromise. You can definitely achieve a significant supercharge and higher power at a given RPM but lose power and efficiency at off-peak rpms.
The first thing that must be done to tune an intake is to sized the length of the intake runners. In an intake manifold when the intake valve opens a negative pressure shock wave is sent up the runner at the speed of sound, regardless of the velocity of the flowing gas. This negative shock wave reaches the opening of the runner and collapses, sending a positive pressure wave back down the runner. You can size the runners to have the return positive pressure pulse hit the intake valve just as it closes which is a true supercharge => more power. As you can imagine, this only works at a specific RPM; all other speeds are likely to perform worse than a non-dynamic stock manifold. Also you can deduce that the shorter the runner, the higher the harmonic speed of the engine that receives the boost. Thus drag racing manifolds have short stacks/runners for a higher tuned speed. Stock engines have very long runners (witness the Chrysler 'Cross Ram' manifolds of the late 50s/early 60s with their ++foot-long runners).
Here is a discussion of the topic from another thread concerning design of an exhaust header but the principles are the same, just have to determine the velocity of sound in cool intake flow compared to hot exhaust flow.
"The main advantage gained in equal length, independent primary header tubes is from the strong negative pressure pulse that is reflected from the tube end when the strong positive pressure pulse form the exhaust valve reaches the collector. Other pulses from other header tubes are of much smaller magnitude in the tube of interest and can be ignored. Thus tuning length is very easy to determine once you have an estimate of the speed of sound in the hot gasses. A useful equation is
L = 120V/rpm
L = pipe length, less port length in head, in inches
V = velocity of sound in hot gasses. Values of 1300ft/sec to 1700 ft/sec are common.
Using V = 1700ft/sec the equations simplifies to
L = 204,000/rpm."
Here are a couple more threads on the subject;
Not only is the organ pipe effect working against a street engine running a racing tunnel ram, the size of the plenum under the carb is working against it too. The plenum is necessary to divorce the runners from the things going on in the carb throats which would kill the organ pipe pulses. At high (design) RPM, the flow from the carb is high speed and the mixture zips through the plenum to the proper runner w/ no fluid separation. However as lower RPMs the velocity of the mixture slows down and the liquid gasoline drops out of the flow and puddles on the floor of the plenum. This results in some very rich and some very lean cylinders. To avoid the latter which is bad, you compensate by over jetting and fouling some cylinders.
As you can see the is topic is very sensitive and emotions run high but the fact is that tunnel ram manifolds were developed in the 60s for the specific purpose of improving the performance of drag racing engines. Period. Can they be made to run on the street? Of course! No one is saying that can't be done. However since all engine design is compromise, a tunnel ram will not yield the all-round fuel economy/performance of a good street/strip hi-rise on a street light bandit but they will kick your butt and put on a band aid on the drag strip. It's simple physics.
Don't forget, the beauty of a Holley 390 uses vacuum secondary. It will not use the entire 780 cfm. It will open as the motor needs more cfm as the rpm increases. You will get a strong throttle response at the low end.
450 are mechanical secondary. You punch the gas pedal and the motor will lean out causing it bog or backfire. The motor will run sluggish when you floor it. They are calibrated for low manifold vacuum. Having a strong manifold vacuum will cause the idle circuit too pull too much gas and causing the plugs to foul. Big block motors can handle a 450cfm. Small block motor are sensitive to carburetor size.
|Alaskan Assassin
That's what I was thinking. I used VE of 100% in the estimates I posted. I don't see how a ram-air would make your engine junk, and dual 390cfm should be enough.
Using more carb at any rpm is silly, no matter how much cfm your carb is pushing through your engine only has the capacity for a given amount of cubic feet of air in one minute. (trying to flow more air would decrease pressure, if my understanding of physics is correct) Increasing the pressure of that given amount of cubic feet of air will give you a performance boost. The ram-air intake increases pressure, the carbs determine the airflow. (right?) Which would also increase volumetric effeciency, as per volume there would be a higher charge due to the increased pressure, while not trying to force more airflow than can be used.
I have not read this whole thread, but may be able to help you out with CFM.
Any engine out there is just a big air pump. The more air you can move through the pump, the more power you will make. You need to guesstimate the volumetric efficiency of the motor in order to tack any CFM needs to it. Most folks will agree that 75 to 80% would be a reasonable figure for a stock motor. As you bolt on better heads, install a longer duration camshaft, etc, you can improve the efficiency. Naturally aspirated motors tuned with the proper size and length of intake runners and exhaust headers can exceed 100% efficiency due to the ram packing of the cylinder that occurs just before the intake valve closes ABDC.
When sizing the carb for a warmed over street motor, I usually use a figure of 90%.
The formula is CID x RPM / 3456 x VE
327 x 8000 /3456 x .9 = 681 CFM
327 x 7000 /3456 x .9 = 596 CFM
327 x 6000 /3456 x .9 = 510 CFM
327 x 5000 /3456 x .9 = 425 CFM
Using more carburetor than is necessary to feed the motor at the extreme upper end of the rpm range is silly. In my opinion, you'll just slow down the airflow through the venturis and get lesser signal to meter the fuel properly at the lower end of the rpm range. I have no scientific facts to back up my opinion, just seat-of-the-pants logic.
|Alaskan Assassin
I'm attemptin to understand a little more about ram-air so help me with this and correct me where I'm wrong
The intake reduces the dynamic pressure and increases the static pressure, causing an increase of air density. Putting more air molecules in the same cubic inch of space.
Taking the 327 example, 470cfm should be enough at 5000 rpm, 660cfm at 7000 rpm, assuming the volume displaced on the intake stroke is half of the overall cubic capacity. 82.5 cfm per cylinder. This would make the ram-air intake more suitable for drag racing, as the engines air capacity per minute at lower rpms wouldn't be enough to utilize the carbs. 2 390cfm carbs would be delivering 97.5 cfm per cylinder, which would be enough at 7000 rpm, but would be best used at 8000 rpm. I can't find that to be a streetable condition to run an engine.
Or am I just crazy and my math is horrible?
(slightly new to this)
hello...I'm back
I just love how people write about tunnel ram setup. NO, NO your 327 is going to run like a garbage. Lousy low end running too lean on a 390cfm or running rich on a 450cfm. I have had my Tunnel ram in my 69 Chevelle well over 30 years. 10 years on my 307sbc and 20 years on my 350sbc, and now the same tunnel ram I had for over 30 years is on my 406sbc. It's a pair of 390cfm Holley and yes 390 do run lean, just change the pri jets to 57. I did replace the sec metering plate to metering block from a pair of 780 holley. add 62 jets. 450 cfm will work, but it will backfire. A friend of mine had a 327 wth a pair of 450cfm on a 327 roadster. It would backfire once in a while and foul the the plugs. He switch the 450 for a pair of 390cfm and the problem went away. It ran a lot smoother. My chevelle passed the sniffer test before they changed it to safety inspection. That guy who going to put a tunnel ram I say go for it. But use a pair of 390cfm. Keep the metering plate. Oh... My 390 cost me $148 a piece. Times change, LOL. The tunnel ram I'm using is old TR1X Edlebrock. The same tunnel ram the Grump used in his 331sbc Vega. He was running low 9"s. Good luck
By the way, Look up on lg1969 photo album. you will get the message.

The guy who I got my block and heads from was going to do ram air, and I considered it to... but I'm thinking it'll be a bit more work and money than I can really put into it.... would be pretty sexy though
tunnel rams
One thing to remember: small block chevys like to run lean and small block fords liketo run richer. I ran the 390's on a tunnel rammed sbc and 450's with the 306 sbf. I found this combo works well.
|I have some video of me with my 327 tunnel ram. PM me if you want it but I shot this holding an inferior camera in one hand and trying to drive the car in the other.
Thats' good to hear form the horses mouth. I know it can work and have always said that. The drawback is for the amount of money and time spent you can go just as fast or faster with a single carb. On a street car there is no "real" advantage of running a tunnel ram. I have always liked them and if someone want to run one because "it's their car and they like the look" I am all for it. In most cases people have a mis matched setup and can't get the tunnel ram tuned. Sounds like you have yours dialed in, right on!!
The tunnel ram design is not torque friendly, nor is it low RPM optimal but, that doesn't mean they can't be run on the street. I doubt you are making the most of that tunnel rams potential but, you like it and that's all that matters. That is what hot rodding is all about.
I found this thread on a Yahoo search a few months ago.
I am running a dual-quad Weiand #1988 street tunnel ram with sync'd, electric-choke Holley 390's on a .030 over 1978 302 with '66 289 Shelby heads and a built C4.
Nearly everything I was told when I was asking around about this and spec'ing it out, in person and on forums, including but not limited to:
- needing a bigger cam
- fouling plugs
- making headers glow red-hot
- idling at 1500+
- no power below 2500 rpm
- no power below 3000 rpm
- no power below 4000 rpm
- needing to rejet carbs
- needing to run off one carb
- stock motors will valve float in ideal tunnel-ram rpm band
- needing to block off 4 of the runners of the T/R
- less power than with a good single quad
- impossible to tune
- needs tuning every weekend
- runs like crap when cold
- runs like crap when hot
- needing a hotter fuel pump
- needing high-octane gas
- needing a bigger coil
All of the above is WRONG. It swapped right in (once I cut the hole in the hood) and all I had to do was replace the cap and rotor (clearance issues.) Starts on the third stroke, runs killer, idles at 600 when warm, comes off a dig like a cat with its *** on fire, and gets double-takes everywhere I go. It sounds KILLER!
It is ridiculously, irresponsibly, sphincter-clenching, what-the-hell-was-I-thinking fast.
Maybe it's the 390's. Maybe it's that we rebuilt the carbs completely (stock Holley 4160 rebuild kit). Maybe I got the linkage exactly right (home fabbed). Maybe the Horsepower Gods accepted the sacrifices of knuckle skin and blood and finally had mercy on me.
Or maybe it's that the naysayers either never tried it, or went too big on their dual carbs. (Most of the horror stories I heard came from someone who heard of someone whose friend tried a dual-quad tunnel-ram. I did hear from a guy who tried dual 750 cfm's on a 350 Chevy and gave up after months of tinkering because he "could never get it to run right." Big surprise.)
Don't give up. Just find 390's for a small-block.
If you're still around (or if you found this thread, as I did, through a search), check out my build page at http://home.comcast.net/~lostpony . Or email me through this site if you have questions. Good luck.

|Actually,if you set up a tunnel ram correctly the first tiem,it wont foul plugs at idle either.The tunnel ram has the upper hand on this one since with 2 carbs to idle the engine off of,you can keep both carbs closed more then a single 4 barel would sit,and in doing so you kep the idle transfer slots from being exposed.If you are an idiot and try to run non tunnel ram carbs on a street application,or if you try to idle the entire engine off of one carb it will run like a pig,but with the right setup it wont be a problem.The bigest issue with a tunnel ram is warm up time since a race type tunnel ram runs very cool and takes a long time to warm up and never gets very hot up near the plenum.A better solution is a tall "street type" tunnel ram with long runners that are webbed togehter and dont have an air gap between or under them.These setups have long runners that favor a 2500 to 6500rpm powerband,but you still have to give them a decent amount of warm up time.Dont just jet the heck out of the carbs to make it run better while warming up.If you wanted to do something really trick you could fabiracte a set of "stuffing blocks" to epoxy into the plenum in an area that doesnt effect flow{between the carbs would be good as long as it doesnt block the passage entirely},and this would give a little bit beter throttle response,and would allow the engine to run better in cool air since the accelerator pump shot would be more concentrated.If you could bolt a mini plenum un place of the large open plenum{some street rams come like this} it would be even better.Other then that,it is a piece of cake.
tunnel rams
We all realize that a 2 fours tunnel is not going to be an everyday driver . I Mean if I were a rich person , could afford to replace plugs real often and gas was no issue I could enjoy driving one . As for a vehicle driven around on say weekends to cruise a little up town : no problem , thats what most of us do with our hotrods anyway. I have an 82 Chevy truck Im driving tonight just during the weekend : it feels pretty good tonight coming to my girlfriends : another Chevy truck came zipping around me ;;when we came to the light , he just sat there. He could hear the cam rocking my truck. All week I drive my other one with a v6 . Ive also got a Samurai with a mild 350, 63 Chevy 2 convertible in the works 283 to be a cruiser in the spring. It all depends on the purpose of the vehicle.
Your so right willys36, over jet to get an idle...hence why my plugs were always fouling.
Definately is a fun ride above 4 grand, but the public doesn't care much for that!!
I am in the process of trying to make my '85 Bird street legal again, it has a single 4 tunnel ram on it. I have to go out and run the thing to 7,500 to clean the plugs!

In-Game Blog/Box score
BALTIMORE — The No. 4 University of Florida lacrosse team pulled out its first road victory of the season, defeating UMBC, 18-6, in the Retrievers' season opener. The win lifts the Gators to 2-1 on the year.
Kitty Cullen (Rockville, Md.) led the Gators with six points in the game, scoring four goals and two assists, while Ashley Bruns (Ellicott City, Md.) and Nicole Graziano (Mendham, N.J.) each recorded five points. Graziano scored the first five goals of her career, and Bruns tied a personal best with four assists.
Gabi Wiegand (Bay Shore, N.Y.) recorded three goals and an assist, and Brittany Dashiell (Bel Air, Md.) notched two goals and an assist. Caroline Chesterman (South Nyack, N.Y.) pitched in two goals, and freshman Shannon Gilroy (Huntington, N.Y.) scored her first points as a Gator, registering a goal and an assist.
Jamie Reeg (Atlantis, Fla.) led the Gators on defense, recording three ground balls, and Nora Barry (Marcellus, N.Y.) chipped in two. Gilroy was tops on the team with four draw controls, while Nicole Graziano added another three.
The two teams were even on the ground game, tying with 13 draw controls apiece and UMBC narrowly led UF, 12-11 in ground balls. However Florida led greatly in turnovers, losing the ball just five times as opposed to the Retrievers' 14.
Mikey Meagher (Liverpool, N.Y) played the first 47:50 in goal, making seven saves while allowing five goals. Cara Canington (Bel Air, Md.) made a save and gave up one goal in the final 12:10.
The Gators won the opening draw, but a quick turnover brought the ball down to the Retrievers' end of the field. UMBC took its time and eventually drove to the goal, but Mikey Meagher came up with the save. However, the Gators were unable to get the ball out of their defensive zone, as UMBC's Taelar Errington scooped up the turnover and flipped it to Emily Coady for the first goal of the game at 26:18.
The Gators did not trail for long, as Brittany Dashiell scored on a free position shot at 23:13 to even the score at one. Ashley Bruns gave UF its first lead of the game just over a minute later, scoring on a pass from Gabi Wiegand to put the Gators ahead, 2-1.
Wiegand kept the Gators rolling at 18:05, roping in a Dashiell pass for the Gators' third goal of the game.
Kitty Cullen continued the Gators' scoring streak, notching back-to-back goals at 14:31 and 10:51, to put Florida ahead, 5-1.
At 8:40, Cullen flipped a short pass to Dashiell on the right side of the arc, who tallied the Gators' sixth straight score.
Cullen's point streak continued at 6:30, as she found freshman Nicole Graziano on the left side for her first career Gator goal.
Retriever Abby Wilson halted the Gators' scoring streak at seven, scoring off a foul just outside the arc at 4:48.
The Retrievers' fans did not have long to celebrate, as Cullen gave one back to the Gators just 34 seconds later, netting an unassisted score at 4:14.
Coady got one back for UMBC shortly before the half, assisted by Wilson, as the Gators headed into the locker room with an 8-3 lead.
The Gators opened the second half on a man-up opportunity due to a yellow card given to Alicia Krause just before the break. Ashley Bruns won the opening draw and drove straight into Retriever territory. Bruns shoveled it to Wiegand, who bounced it in just 12 seconds after the opening whistle.
Abby Wilson notched her second career goal at 28:05, but a second yellow card to Krause put the Gators back on a man-up advantage, which sparked a 4-0 run by UF.
The scoring spree began with a man-up goal by Caroline Chesterman from Bruns at 26:01. Graziano scored her second career goal at 24:38 on a free position shot, and Cullen then scored the Gators' first-ever man-down goal at 23:08. Wiegand and Bruns connected for a third time at 21:43 to give the Gators a nine-goal lead, up 13-4.
Lindsay Cox scored one for UMBC at 20:52, assisted by Shannon Harkey, but Graziano fought right back on a free position goal at 18:46.
Just over a minute later, Bruns fed Chesterman for her career-high-tying fourth assist.
Cara Canington replaced Meagher in goal at 12:10, and less than a minute later, Graziano notched her fourth goal of the contest.
Coady knocked in her third goal at 7:27, but at 4:42, freshman Shannon Gilroy scored her first career goal for the Orange and Blue. Just under four minutes later, Gilroy picked up her first assist, tossing to Graziano with 54 seconds to play, rendering the final score, 18-6.
The Gators return home next Friday, as they host Siena in a non-conference matchup at Donald R. Dizney Stadium. Opening draw is set for 6:30 p.m.

Trojans Grab First MPSF Victory in 17-8 Win Over Saint Mary's
Feb. 24, 2013
Final Stats | Quotes | Box Score (PDF)
LOS ANGELES - USC women's lacrosse freshman attack Caroline de Lyra collected nine points with three goals and a game-high six assists to help the Women of Troy claim their first-ever Mountain Pacific Sports Federation victory. The Trojans (2-2, 1-0 MPSF) squared their season record on a 17-8 win over Saint Mary's College (0-2, 0-1) on Sunday, Feb. 24, at McAlister Field, and will now hit the road for four straight games.
"Getting this first conference win is really exciting," said head coach Lindsey Munday. "There are just so many firsts that happen with a new program, and a new team, and obviously conference games are the most important for us. The girls did a great job of preparing, this week, and Saint Mary's is a great team and they fought really hard."
Four different players scored at least three goals for the Trojans including de Lyra. She was joined by freshman midfield Amanda Johansen who also had an assist and a game-high nine draw controls. Freshman attack Caroline Cordrey had three goals on a game-high 11 shots (seven on goal) while freshman attack Paige Bonomi had three goals on six shots.
"I'm not sure what the highlight of the game was, for me," said de Lyra. "I think it was the first goal and then when we started to get up. I think because we knew we could win it, we weren't really sure how we were going to compare to other teams in the conference and then once we started winning and getting the score board up, then we really showed up."
Freshman defense Courtney Tarleton led all players with four ground balls and four caused turnovers and goalie Liz Shaeffer completed another stellar outing with eight saves and a .500 save percentage.
For the Gaels, Jullian Chong posted three goals and had three draw controls while Amanda Armes collected four draw controls. Saint Mary's had its share of troubles with five yellow cards, and was often the aggressor with twice as many fouls as the Trojans.
Just 30 seconds into the game, de Lyra put USC up, 1-0, as she ran the crease for an unassisted goal. The Trojans forged ahead for a 2-0 lead when de Lyra found a cutting Bonomi for the goal just one minute later. Saint Mary's responded to get three straight goals and held its only lead of the game at 3-2 when Chong found the back of the net off a pass from Amanda Cross.
The Trojans retaliated and scored less than a minute and a half later when de Lyra dropped a pass off to freshman attack Katie Austin for a goal. USC then ripped off five straight goals to complete a 6-0 scoring run that produced an 8-3 lead with four minutes left in the first half. A goal by SMC's Holly Hayes stopped the bleeding for the Gaels, but a slew of Saint Mary's penalties landed Cordrey on the line for a free-position shot that she connected on with 18 seconds left in the half.
The Gaels cut USC's lead to just three goals when they scored two straight to open up the second half, but the Trojans scored five of the next six goals to create a seven-goal gash at 14-7 with 11:26 left in the game. Chong scored once more before the Trojans wrapped the game with three more.
USC will now play its first-ever road games and will have to head all the way across the country to do so. The Trojans will play LIU Brooklyn at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT) on Friday, March 1. Please visit www.USCTrojans.com for more information.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|No, you do not want to tranquilize Samson. When I flew to Germany I had a direct flight so can't help with that part. Lufthansa was great to work with.
Thank you for answering...I will definitely check with Lufthansa, but I wrote here too, maybe someone had this experience before....
I dont want to tranquilize Samson, but I was reading all these horror stories with American Airlines with cats and dogs escaping, and I was afraid something might happen....if he paws at the door a few times it might open ....
I have no problem checking and rechecking in Frankfurt....its gonna be a little hard though, considering I also have a cat and 2 kinds with me
Thanks again
|I would check with Lufthansa on the airline questions. They can answer them more accurately. Just a note, Raina flew to the US on Lufthansa when she was a pup. My friend in Germany picked her out and sent her to me using Gradlyn Kennels as the shipper and they use only air controlled compartments to ship animals. She was in great shape when she arrived, just a bit tired of being in a crate at only 12 weeks. Don't feed your dog the day you fly as it can cause upset stomachs and don't feed a whole meal when you get where you are going. Give just a little food at first. I would not tranquilize your dog unless your vet agrees it would be necessary. Airline workers will not feed the dog but they may give it water. You will probably need to reclaim the dog in Frankfurt as it is the first stop in a new country. Good luck and have a nice flight.
|wolfy dog
|Call the airline with these questions. Regarding the crate, I agree. Maybe get one of these metal enclosed ones. You probably have to recheck him as soon as you land in Frankfort for customs.
Flying to Europe with a German Shepherd- please help!!
Im a newbie here, just registered, but Ive been reading your forums for quite a while now.
I have a 15 month old German Shepherd, Samson, and in about 4-5 months I will have to fly with him from Denver to Bucharest, Romania.
This will be the first time Im flying with a dog, so I am really scared and don't know what to expect. And, of course,I have a gazillion questions, so if you guys could help me, I would really really appreciate it.
The flight should be Denver- Frankfurt-Bucharest with Lufthansa.
Do I have to pick Samson up in Frankfurt and recheck him, or they will give him to me in Bucharest?
Should I sedate him? He is pretty comfortable in his kennel at home, but he is a pretty crazy/ hyper dog and also super strong, so Im afraid when he will hear those airplane engines, he's gonna go crazy and open that crate somehow.
Im also travelling with my cat in cabin, so I think I know all the required paperwork for this kind of trip (we did this route with Sam the cat about 6 times now )
I would really appreciate any kind of info you could give me, as I am a little scared flying with a giant dog across the world
Thank you so much!

India is facing new challenges in dealing with Muslim militants who apparently are using cybercrime as part of their efforts at spreading terrorism. A group of extremists hacked into an Internet connection to claim responsibility for a new round of deadly bomb attacks. Mumbai police's anti-terrorism squad said the company's wireless network was unsecured and had been hacked the third time in as m any months. One email sent before the blasts in the western city of Ahmedabad in July originated from the hacked wireless connection of a US national working in the city. Another email that threatened police was linked back to a college in the city.
We most probably are living in the early years of what eventually will become a major factor in crime on this planet. The use by extremists of the Internet will only increase and become more deadly in the years ahead.

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - C.J. Miles and the Cleveland Cavaliers found a way to turn the lights out on Philadelphia's road winning streak.
They shot 'em out.
Miles made 10 3-pointers to set the franchise record and scored 34 points and the Cavaliers cruised to a 111-93 win over the 76ers on Tuesday night without new addition Luol Deng.
Miles tied the old Cavs record he shared with LeBron James, Wesley Person and Danny Ferry by going 8-of-10 in the first half. He played sparingly in the second half and made the last two in the fourth quarter, going 10-of-14 to fall two short of the NBA record of 12 shared by Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall.
Miles described what it was like to be seemingly open for 3s the whole game.
"You feel like all you got to do is get a look at the basket and it's going to go in," Miles said. "Everything just feels like you're in the gym by yourself basically and you know guys are looking for you."
Kyrie Irving had 16 points for Cleveland after missing the previous three games with a bruised left knee and Anderson Varejao scored 18 points with 14 rebounds. The Cavs won for just the second time in 10 games despite missing Jarrett Jack (back spasms) for the second game in a row.
They will have to wait longer to play alongside Deng. The All-Star forward was acquired from Chicago early Tuesday morning in exchange for suspended center Andrew Bynum, three future draft picks and the right to swap 2015 first-round picks with the Cavs.
The Sixers had won nine of their previous 11 games against Cleveland and came into the game riding a four-game road winning streak, the victories coming in Western Conference cities Los Angeles, Sacramento, Denver and Portland.
That streak ended with a thud, and the Sixers dropped their second game in a row overall, also losing Monday night at home to Minnesota 126-95.
Sixers coach Brett Brown said his players must have been more fatigued from their five-game road trip than he realized. He gave Miles credit, but also found fault with the way his team defended the hot hand.
"As a young team when somebody like that is rolling you have to be aware of where he is every second," Brown said. "We just didn't get the job done on him defensively."
Thaddeus Young, the reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week after averaging 25 points per game last week, was 0-for-7 and went scoreless for the Sixers.
Rookie Michael Carter-Williams had a career-high 33 points in the loss.
Miles made all five of his 3s for 15 points in the first quarter and the Cavs shot 60 percent for a 36-20 lead. They went on a 9-0 run after Spencer Hawes made a 3-pointer to tie the game for the Sixers. Irving scored the last five points on a 3 and reverse layup to make it 22-13.
Miles' sixth 3 gave the Cavs a 21-point lead midway through the second quarter and his eighth pushed Cleveland's lead to 26 in the final minute. It was 64-40 at halftime and the Cavs went up by as many as 29 in the third quarter.
"Because we're playing defense we're allowing ourselves to get up and down the floor, which allows everyone to play a little more freely," said Miles. "There's a lot more space on the floor ... and there's a lot more shot attempts overall because of the pace of the game. It allows everyone to get good looks."
Miles played just 7 1/2 minutes in the third and missed his only 3 attempt. He made two in a 38-second span in the fourth and checked out of the game for good with 7:07 remaining. The Cavs led by as many as 31.
Game Notes
The teams split a home-and-home in November, both winning on their own court. The Cavs beat the Sixers 127-125 in double-overtime behind 39 points from Irving ... The Bulls have already waived Bynum, who had been suspended indefinitely by the Cavs for "conduct detrimental to the team" ... The Cavs open a five-game Western Conference road trip Friday in Utah. The Cavs will also play Sacramento, the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland and Denver ... The Sixers start a four-game homestand on Friday against Detroit. New York, Charlotte and Miami will also visit during the stay ... Philadelphia guard Tony Wroten, dealing with flu-like symptoms and migraines, missed his second straight game ... The Sixers waived center Daniel Orton ... Carter-Williams' previous career high was 29 points against Indiana on Nov. 23 ... Miles made eight 3s against Brooklyn on Dec. 29, 2012. Person got his eight against the Sixers on Feb. 17, 1998 ... Bryant set the record with 12 against Seattle on Jan. 7, 2003 and Marshall tied it for Toronto against the Sixers on March 13, 2005.


text: Yeah, this was why I stopped competing. I passed the Bronze test but have no flip, lutz, or camel, so I wasn't competitive and I just got tired of finishing last. It wasn't so much the placement (b/c I could be doing the same elements as everyone else and still finishing last) but just being so far below everyone. It wasn't much of a competition. So I decided to focus on MIF. I passed Silver and then started working on Gold and also the low-level standard track tests, and then broke my leg so the 'comeback' has taken a while. Right now, I'm close to being able to test Gold MIF (hoping I stay in one piece) and after that I may start doing dance. My coach has a dance background so she could teach me at least the low-level dances. I may do a little FS, just to get my skills back, and maybe do artistic comps at some point, but I'll likely never compete FS again. I thought it was the IceWorks club that made the decision to combine HC with the dance event. Wasn't the story that they had a board meeting to vote on it but didn't invite/notify any of the HC committee? Or was that all engineered by the rink? I know they work closely together. Whatever the story, it's too bad the event is no more. And New Year's Invitational, which used to be a big adult comp, has gotten a lot smaller in recent years - only 1 day now instead of 2. It may be the economy, or maybe adults are less interested in competing, or just want to do Sectionals and Nationals.

@The guy
Aye, lots of **** to clear up mate.
I'd better head off, wish me luck folks, and thank you. I've learnt more over the last few days then I have learnt over the last 2 years.

Re: Is this wrong?
ya that was the point
Im glad to see that your taking back that she goes and f*cks other guys.. that will lead to no good. She may not do it know or with in a year, but (according to my wife) That statement will resinate in her mind when the first guy takes a crack at her.
Make sure you clear that up with your chick. make sure she understands that the statment was made as a foolish remark and you addimently deny wanting her to f*cking other guys. Don't assume she took it as a joke it will come back to bite you in the *ss, years from now, trust me!
Re: Is this wrong?
I don't like the idea of being considered "submissive" or that she's more "dominant", I'd rather consider myself "dominant" over a "dominant woman"! I have an ego too you know! lol
I can sense your personality from your posts.

Re: Is this wrong?
I feel your wife is pretty dominant in many aspects and at some certain level, you love to be dominated.
So actually, you're a perfectly matched couple.
Now the whole thing is aheading to an very extreme way, you started to question yourself and your marriage. At this point, you're still a perfect couple, but you need to strike a balance. She can be dominant but where is the limit? You can compromise, but where is the limit? You can spoil her, being raped, with all the bills paid, but there must be a limit for everything. She has to learn to respect you are still a man and you're her husband.

Re: Is this wrong?
Yeah, and I guess if I continue this it's only a matter of time too and she may even do it starting from an emotional affair since she's rather principled herself, but she's only human - one thing leads to another, that's how we even ended up having sex in the first place.
Guess I've been spoiled, still remember when she had her flab after childbirth and I always gave her **** for it, she never whined, never told on me about it, she lost her weight, went on the pole (we have one in our garage) - toned up her body, and made herself attractive again (and strong in the right places too... especially her legs), she demanded I do the same since working non-stop I didn't have much time to go gym (some positions she likes also demand strength) so I made it a habit to do pull-ups on a doorway at work during the breaks and do as much lifting as I could.
It seems she's been very appreciative of this sure, but I've not been for her. I still call it "rapes", when other guys would probably kill for a woman like her... And with finances (or anything outside of the bedroom) it's the complete opposite where she's not being appreciative of the hard work I've put into my business, and I've spoiled her by letting her spend like crazy whenever she likes, and I feel as if a ton of women would kill for a rich dude like me who doesn't even spend sh-t!
Man... everything is making sense, hell I hope this freakin plan works...
and by all means... just real talk man to man... Do Not Send Her Into The Arms Of Another Man.....
Re: Is this wrong?
now i honestly dont have all the history.... but from what i can basicly tell, the childish things i am hearing is that you two do love and care for eachother....
she wants you as much as she sees you... and she wants you to be jealous.... that could mean she knows she has a good thing... or is just maybe really that much h0rn3y....
you do prove a bit of an example by not wanting to displease her by sending her elsewhere to seek what she needs... that just mean you want her to be happy and satisfied....
but what she wants is to be satisfied with you....
and of course you being the breadwinner is too stressful to keep up with her insatiable needs...
but you have to stand firm... if you feel she acts as if she wants to be caged... thats probably her saying you have to show some stregnth in the relationship....
do not be rude and fuss and fight but let her know when you're ready and not ready to f**k....
i too am the sole financial source in the household... and if i miss too much time even a couple of days, we will be on the streets... but sometimes i do not want a romp and my wife do... i sometimes oblige but most i have to reserve my energy...
and by all means... just real talk man to man... Do Not Send Her Into The Arms Of Another Man.....
i hope it works out for you though....

Re: Is this wrong?
Dude, you should her the stories my wife has from all her.... adventure. It was insane. bottom line though back in Feb.'10 I pulled my sh*t together and hers and are doing great.

Re: Is this wrong?
The first seven years of my marraige were good and I to felt ther was no need to be controlling or jealas (I wish I could spellz) I had a loyal wife, but neglegt will takes its toll on her and she loves you and will do what she needs to do get by.
I never thought in 19 years that she would actually step out side the marraige even after telling her (twice). Every time She wanted to talk I refused her. She always wanted sex and as time went on I refused that to, Only on my terms.
This **** can get out of hand if you dont stand your ground and take some controll in your marriage.
Re: Is this wrong?
We'll see, to be honest I'm looking forward to ending this little fight with my little plan in a few hours, haven't had my ballsacs emptied for days! Now I'm starting to miss it (maybe that's why she does the STs - bah, she's f--king childish herself!)
You two are just stubborn, don't want to give in to each other.
After you finish the fight, do more studying about not spoiling her and earning her respect by being a firm man, but not violent though. And stop saying silly things like you mentioned in your first post.

@the guy
Hell mate, it seems when piecing everything up - everything is starting to make a straight bit of sense... too much freedom and she stops respecting me with finances, and it looks like I'm on the same road that you were on.
A part of me for some reason gets turned on by the idea too in all honesty (I also have an exhibitionist side) but I guess she knows it's not good for her since she's already been there, done that as well (Guess I'm actually lucky she's f--king stubborn in this regard) - and hence rejected the idea but it seems my words have hurt her I guess.
Thanks for this bro, I should have found this forum a lot sooner.

Re: Is this wrong?
Dude I was there were you are right now. The work-acholic in me did the same thing. Except I said "go get a boytoy if you want attention" that was 13 years ago. I have a wife that has slept with 20 guys, ten of whitch accured in the last 3 years. This sh*t will snowball and you will have a great carrer and a wife doing her own thing.
She will start with one and it will last a few months and then stop, a few years will go by and then she will be at it again, maybe just a month. Then another few years will go by and she'll be good ,then another guy will hit on her and then it happens again. It will get so bad that the guilt will eat her up so much that she will stop giving a sh*t and just go out with any swinging d*ck just to validate her self wearth, and that won't mean much to her after so many years of neglegt. In her eyes she will see her self as wearthless and do what ever to get attention.
But at least you will have a great job!
Mabye you will get lucky and she will fall in love with someone right of way, instead of hanging on to you and finding bandaids to help her through until you wake up and say "some one loves me". I better change or she will get killed with this kind of behavior.
Hey I know its tough i never got any respect and she didn't do a dam thing around the house and I resented that crap and dismissed her and my marraige, it was f*cked, but it happened. Don't be like that repair your marraige or move on get a carrer going then find someone.
Sorry for the rant, this one hit close to home.
Re: Is this wrong?
Women like you and the missus are evil, you know that right?
Yes, many men are lusting after us! Do you know how many men are after me? But my body is only for my husband to enjoy! I only feel sexy, comfortable, horny with my husband. Put another man in front of me, my fire dies right away, maybe. Is your wife the same? I a kind of feel she is the same! Do you know what a wonderful woman you have?
Well, I'm guessing you also work yes? For me I'm a sole provider, if my business suffers a setback less cash for all of us. Hence the stress and workaholism, sometimes I'm just not in the mood.
My husband and I work the same amount of hours. It is true that I share the financial burden. It is understandable that you have to bring all the stress on you. Here you might need to be understanding of you wife. It is actually better for her to work, she'll be more confident about herself and her life. But right now, you have a one-year old daughter, your wife is sacrificing her life to look after your daughter, it is important for children to have their own mothers to look after them when they are young. You love your daughter so much, so you know how much your wife is sacrificing.
I know, this forum is actually making me see it. I'm actually rather surprised the average sexy time in marriage for most is 4x a MONTH! That's so much free time!!!!
I see once in a month quite often!
Oh the game? We've been playing from day one, so we're used to it. However it seems that nowadays, she doesn't like it no more, prefers that I be more jealous and more possessive, meh . Just not me! I don't know. It just feels... weak (I don't like to feel like I'm 'kowtow'ing, ever - I'm sure you're familiar with the term)
Christian belief really stresses on fidelity. She is more religious now.
I understand some Cantonese.
You don't want to give in. You are just stubborn.
But you are going to lose more if you lose the peaceful atmosphere in your house. Better solve it sooner than later.
Dude, life should be more interesting. Please don't waster your time and energy on silly fights.

Thread: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
Though I don't know how much value MASN would be to an NFL owner. The NFL controls the broadcast rights, IIRC, and not the individual franchises. It's the same with NFL properties (jerseys, etc.).
Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
It might be too little, too late for some. I am one of those that has written off the Orioles because of the Angelos family. Instead, I am much more interested in the Nats. I vowed to come back once the team got sold to another person, but now I am not so sure.

Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
Sometimes I wonder if the Orioles are simply an annual tax write off for Angelos to offset the millions he makes in his other endeavors. There couldn't be any other possible explanation as to why he makes no sincere effort to improve this organization.

Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
The Orioles are hardly a "tax right-off" for Angelos! He makes millions on the Orioles and MASN each year!
Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
This came up when Angelos tried to buy a team - first the Rams and then the Bucs. It was said then one
couldn't own two major league teams or was Tags just tryiing to shut out Petey and Bmore from getting
a team?
The TV deal became a huge point after the Nationals moved into DC cutting the O's market in half.
Speaking of MASN, Tom Davis had a crew on last night talking about the new season and it doesn't look
pretty. Absolutely no pitching - not even down on the farm and a lot of teams are bringing in 40 pitchers
to comp and O's are bringing in only 30.
Nothing they do makes sense.

Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
Fat Guy: They still have no pitching. Goodin's a question mahk. ...You don't recover from those rotator cuffs so fast.
Jerry: I'm not worried about their best pitching. They got pitching. ...They got no hitting.
FG: No hitting? They got hitting! Bonilla, Murry. ...They got no defence.
JS: Defence? Please. ...They need speed.
FG: Speed? They got Coleman. ...They need a bullpen.
JS: Franco's no good? ...They got no team leaders.
FG: They got Franco! ...What they need is a front office.
JS: But you gotta like their chances.
FG: I LUV their chances.
Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
No disrespect to HR, but I've never been impressed by the Junkies. To be fair though, I haven't listened to them since they were on the radio. It's been several years. That said, color me extremely skeptical of this report. I think Angelos would certainly let someone make an offer, but as for seriously considering it, I'll believe it when I see it. I also don't see Steve B. buying the team for all the reasons already listed (potential ownership restrictions with the NFL and/or MLB, on the record as not-interested, etc). I think Cal would love to be involved with an ownership group that would try to purchase the team, and I believe he and Angelos have discussed that. But I don't see anything happening there anytime soon. I think we're in for more of the same from Angelos and the Orioles.
I sincerely hope that I'm wrong and the team is sold ASAP.Never get in a fight with a pig; you both get muddy, and the pig likes it...

Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
Just heard on the radio during the Bob and Rob show that the Orioles put out a statement denying all this.
Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
#1 EB is a clueless assclown
#2 There is NO WAY anybody ever buys the O's without MASN being included. MASN is a license to print money that increases the O's value from 300 mil to 7 or 800 mil. Without it you are buying a small market team that pales in revenue to Nats. With it you can afford a 150 mil payroll despite the brainwashing from Angelos and his media cronies.

'Though the Sabres have just nine sets of back-to-back games after specializing in them the previous three seasons, they should get ready for a hectic pace. They play seven games in 11 days in January and follow that with 14 games in 28 days in February. There's little time to breathe in March with 15 games in 31 days, and they play 12 times during the first 26 days of April.'

Becoming ill is not a planned event. In a world of digitized patient information, healthcare providers require on-demand access to digitized patient information to deliver optimal care.
In hospital settings, downtime is not an acceptable option. A virtual infrastructure that enables always-on availability and access to electronic medical records (EMRs), electronic health records (EHRs), and other patient care applications is essential.

Find your applicant status among the choices below to understand the admissions requirements and application process you should follow. To apply, follow all steps listed under the Application Procedures. Click on the appropriate status section heading for the application form.
Applicants who have not attended any college or university after high school are considered freshman applicants.
Baccalaureate Program Admission: Freshman applicants seeking admission to a baccalaureate degree program will be admitted if they meet the following requirements:
- Will graduate from high school with a recomputed academic grade point average of 2.25 or better in core courses.
- Attain a minimum ACT composite score of 19 (writing test not required) or a minimum combined SAT score of 900 (out of 1600) on the math and critical reading sections (NMU is not currently considering the writing section for admission).
- Successfully complete core course work as outlined in the Michigan Merit Curriculum, as referenced in the section "Secondary School Preparation". Students who have earned a GED are also considered for admission.
Non-Baccalaureate Program Admissions: Freshman applicants seeking admission into associate, certificate, diploma-level or certification programs will be admitted if they meet the following requirements:
- Applicants may submit records verifying the achievement of the admission standards for baccalaureate programs; or
- Applicants must submit records verifying that they meet the specific admission requirements for the program to which they are applying. Some community college-level programs have specific minimum grade point average and/or test score requirements. This information can be found on the application for admission.
Transfer Applicants
Transfer applicants who have attended a college or university after high school graduation or GED attainment are considered transfer applicants. Transfer applicants are admitted in good standing if they have a minimum 2.00 cumulative grade point average on a 4.00 scale for college-level courses taken at all post-secondary institutions attended and are eligible to return to the last institution attended. Transfer applicants who have earned fewer than 12 college-level credits will be reviewed based on high school and college performance. A transfer credit evaluation is completed by the Registrar's Office after admission.
Dual Enrollment Applicants
Applicants who are still enrolled in high school and wish to be enrolled in NMU courses prior to high school graduation are considered dual enrollment applicants and may be admitted, provided the student has demonstrated consistent, excellent academic achievement. Local school districts have their own requirements regarding approval of students seeking to pursue dual enrollment. Students should contact their school counselor or principal. Additionally, the following requirements must be met for admission as a dual-enrolled student at NMU:
- Applicants must have completed the 10th grade of high school and have achieved a minimum 3.00 grade point average, recalculated in academic, core courses; and
- Applicants are limited to taking eight credits per semester and must meet course prerequisites.
To apply, the "Dual Enrollment Permission to Enroll Form" must first be completed and accepted. This form is available from the Admissions Office. You will then be provided enrollment information.
Dual enrollment students wishing to attend NMU as degree-seeking students after high school graduation do not need to reapply for admission. Write or call the Admissions Office to let us know you'd like to continue at NMU.
Re-entry Applicants
Previous Northern Michigan University undergraduate students who have not been enrolled at NMU for at least one year are considered re-entry applicants and will be re-admitted to the university provided they are eligible to do so under the Northern Michigan University Academic Proficiency Policy. Students may complete the re-entry update form. Additionally, the following requirements must be met:
- Official transcripts must be sent from all institutions students have attended since their last NMU enrollment date.
- If suspended or dismissed from Northern Michigan University following their last enrollment, re-entry student applicants must submit appeals to the Admission and Academic Policies Committee through the Academic and Career Advisement Center.
- All debts to the university must be paid before course registration.
Applicants who hold a baccalaureate or higher degree and wish to pursue another undergraduate degree (in a field other than that of previous degree/s) or seek an initial secondary or elementary provisional teaching certificate are considered a post-baccalaureate applicant and will be admitted to NMU providing they have graduated from an accredited college or university. Individual academic programs may have additional requirements for admission.
Applicants who intend to enroll in classes for personal and/or professional development or for purposes other than obtaining a degree, certificate or diploma are considered non-degree applicants, and the following stipulations will be enforced for admission:
- Non-degree students are limited to a maximum enrollment of eight credit hours during any enrollment period.
- Non-degree students must meet all course prerequisites.
- Non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid.
Credit earned as a non-degree student may be applied toward degree programs. To begin this process, the non-degree student must complete a change to degree form, supply all required documentation, meet the same minimum grade point average and credit hour criteria as transfer applicants, and be formally admitted to a specific academic program.
Applicants who are regularly enrolled at and eligible to return to another college or university, but wish to earn credit from Northern Michigan University, are considered guest applicants. The following stipulations must be met for admission:
- Applicants may not register as degree candidates at NMU.
- Applicants must have the NMU courses they wish to take approved in advance by the registrar of their home institution.
- Applicants must understand that falsification of any part of a guest application may result in cancellation of admission or registration at NMU.
- Applicants must arrange to have any credit earned as guest students sent from NMU to their home institutions.
- Applicants are limited to a maximum of two regular semesters or 32 credit hours and must submit a new guest application for the second semester.
To apply, please complete a Michigan Uniform Undergraduate Guest Application and submit the $30 application fee.
International and Canadian student applicants must provide additional credentials to satisfy U.S. immigration regulations.
Canadian students need to complete the application for admission and submit a Declaration and Certification of Finances form, both of which are available from the Admissions Office. Other required credentials are the same as listed in the applicable applicant categories above. NMU may request an evaluation of credentials from an outside agency on an individual basis.
International students (non-Canadian) must provide the following:
- Completed International Student Application for Admission.
- Application fee through bank draft, money order or credit card made payable in U.S. funds for $30.
- Official, original transcripts of all secondary school work (non-U.S. and U.S.), official certificates showing results of any standardized examinations taken in the home country and official transcripts of any colleges, universities or trade schools attended. These documents must be sent directly from the issuing institution to Northern Michigan University. Certified translations are required for any documentation not originally in English.
- Students must submit all non-U.S., non-Canadian academic records to Education Credential Evaluators, Inc. (ECE) or other accepted agency. A form for doing so is included in the International Student Application for Admission.
- Proof of an adequate level of English language proficiency must be provided. Generally, proof of English proficiency is a minimum TOEFL score of 61 on the TOEFL iBT, 173 on the TOEFL CBT, or 500 on the TOEFL PBT. Test results must be sent directly from the testing agency. Other proof of English proficiency will be considered on an individual basis.
- Applicants must provide documentation that they have the ability to finance their education at Northern Michigan University. This is accomplished by completing the Certification of Finances section of the International Student Application for Admission and providing either the bank official's signature on that section or a separate letter from the bank official or a bank account statement.
Admission to Northern Michigan University requires completion of the steps above and meeting the requirements as specified under the applicable applicant status (freshman, transfer, etc). Once a student is admitted, NMU will issue an I-20AB form to the student. Application deadlines for international students are June 1 for the fall semester and October 1 for the winter semester.

The Power Up challenge came along at the same time as I was beginning some new healthy behaviors such as striving to drink 8 glasses of water a day and to start exercising regularly. I appreciate the extra help that it provided to stay on track! For others just starting out I recommend making a small list of the healthy behaviors you're striving for and then posting that list in the bathroom and at your desk, wherever you are on a daily basis. It's so easy to get busy and forget! It also gives you that extra chance at the end of the evening to make it a successful day.
Working with a personal trainer for a session every so often is helpful for those of us just starting to work out. You'll have the confidence knowing that you're doing the activities that are right for the level that you're at, and not causing potential damage that takes (sigh) time to heal. I've always been pretty active, but when I decided to get back into shape in the fall I definitely pushed it too hard too fast, and ended up spending several months repairing the damage I had done instead of getting a little bit stronger each month. Learn from my error, your body will thank you!
My next goal is to change my eating habits. I'd like to eat more locally produced food, and really take advantage of what's in season. Come on summer, you've got the good stuff!

I am an international student. I became a fitness enthusiast after coming to OSU. I did weight training 4 days a week.
I joined power up challenge during the winter term. I was injured in the arm at that time and could not do weights or swimming. But thanks to power-up, I decided to stay active. Then I went online and read some of the stuff on exercise, I decided to work other parts of my body. I also watched numerous power-up videos on you-tube to understand the simple yet motivating objectives of the challenge. This made me decide to do cardio 4 to 5 days a week. It worked. Not only did I keep active during the whole week, but I also managed to stretch myself a lot. I started with basic cycling, elliptical and running. I was doing 8 miles of cycling on two days, 1.5 miles of elliptical and about 2 miles of running per week (about 11 miles per week). As I went on, not only did I increase the resistance at which I was working out but also managed to achieve 25 miles during the week ending May 24. I still spend 2.5 hours per week on cardio, even though I have restarted weights in the gym.
Power up challenge made me feel that I was not alone in facing this challenge. There is a community of people around me who are into their own fitness goals and that feeling was great.
Power-up also helped me seek a balance in life. I enjoyed the encouragement received from power-up towards meditation and simple acts such as climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator, drinking more water, eating more veggies etc.
Finally, it is probably my short-coming that I could not find time to get together with other challengers and interact.
But kudos to power-up challenge which inspires people like me to achieve new, difficult and different things in terms of fitness goals.

Nineteen weeks ago I had the wish of being thinner, more fit, healthier. I wished I could wear a cute black dress out on a date. I wished I could play soccer with my son for more than 10 minutes without getting winded. I wished I had more time to work out. I also wished I had money, that I didn't have to work and that my mother was healthy.
It was easy for me to have wishes – impossible and out of reach, I never expected to achieve them.
I applied to be a member of a Power Up team but wasn't selected. I tried to get others in my office to join but found no takers. Headed into the unknown alone and way out of my comfort zone I signed up as an individual. The first few weeks of the challenge set me up for success. I was reminded about GOALS and forced to confront my effortless wishes. I had to think about both why I wanted things and why I hadn't put effort in before. It was painful. I went to workshops including one on self-confidence that was a turning point for me. I realized that it was not genetics or bad knees or a hectic schedule preventing me from improving my health, it was how I thought of myself.
Somehow in the re-creation of myself after divorce and career change I had decided I was weak. That I couldn't do things. That where I was at was the best I could do, that settling was inevitable.
How horrible to realize that the only thing holding me back was…me. If I didn't try I couldn't fail. Reading the blog, attending the CAPS trainings and doing some soul searching helped me accept that I would never succeed either. It was around week 6 that I actually started challenging myself.
I am still challenged, but when I think positive I know I can do more. I can run. I can cook a healthy dinner. I can speak up to take care of my needs. I can wake up and do better tomorrow after a day filled with M&Ms and sitcoms.
I have had success and fun in the last few months. I think about things like 7 hours of sleep, the stairs and flossing. I still indulge, but it's no longer mindless and excessive. I'm not wearing a little black dress yet, but last weekend my son and I rode our bikes all over Albany. I have a ways to go, but I am on the right road and I know that I can DO things, which is what is going to help me as I move forward.

For me as a fitness professional, I did not choose a fitness goal to reach, as I have already incorporated exercise and nutrition into my lifestyle. I needed a goal to help balance me out, help me sleep better, and keep my stress and anxiety down. I don't tend to leave much time in my day for myself, quite time to read, be alone, meditate, really whatever I feel like that day. This desire for better sleep, balance and stress reduction was my goal for Power-Up and after setting aside the time each night and making the effort to get in bed a half hour earlier I was able to make it a habit that I have been able to maintain. I also made the commitment to get 9 hours of sleep each night. This was not always an easy goal to accomplish and many times I left work or chores undone or my husband a little frustrated that I was not finishing a movie with him to get my rest. But I did it for me, to feel better and I did. The tracking and logging in each Monday kept my goal fresh in my mind for the coming week, reminding me again to make the time for myself each evening. I really have noticed a difference in my mood, energy, and over sense of relaxation as I have slept better and felt I have more energy to put into my work and relationships. This has been a great experience and I have developed a more balanced, healthier life because of it.
Thank you to all the community challengers!
