text:
San Francisco's already-talented roster does not have room for 13 incoming rookies, making the team a prime candidate to move up to the midpoint of the first round to address a critical need. But aside from safety – the only position where the team lost a true starter in free agency – there isn't one position that stands out more than the others.
The interior of the defensive line is due for an influx of depth. The receiving corps could use an explosive playmaker to complement the sure-handed Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree. The departure of Delanie Walker could mean the addition of a tight end that can make catches in traffic. And there could never enough pass rushers coming off the edges.
Here's a look at six players the 49ers could target if they elect to move up to the middle of the first round:
Sheldon Richardson, DT Missouri (6-2, 294)
Coming into the draft, the 49ers don't have a ton of talent behind their top-three defensive lineman, Justin Smith, Ray McDonald and Glenn Dorsey. If the team believes that Richardson could eventually replace the 34-year-old Smith over the long run, then he might be their guy.
Richardson was very productive in his final collegiate season, making 75 tackles and 10.5 sacks, an impressive number for an interior player. And although the 49ers technically run a 3-4, his skill as a three-technique lineman in a 4-3 could translate when the team uses two down lineman and two outside linebackers to get to the passer. Richardson's effort remains in question, according to scouting reports, which should be a correctable problem under line coach Jim Tomsula. As an added plus, Richardson attended the same school as both Justin and Aldon Smith.
Barkevious Mingo, OLB/DE LSU (6-4, 241)
The 49ers might have to trade in the top 10 if Mingo is their target. But the speedy pass rusher could be a big time weapon in passing situations and be a nice complement to Aldon Smith. A year ago, there were reports San Francisco had heavy interest in Bruce Irvin, who wound up going 15th-overall to Seattle and registered eight sacks his rookie year. Mingo grades out as a very similar player. His athleticism could be a big asset in trying to defend read-option quarterbacks, most notably Russell Wilson.
If there's a downside to Mingo, it's his slight build that might be a detriment against the run. Early on, he would likely be a one-dimensional player, which could be the difference in whether or not the team elects to pay the price to move up and get him. It should be noted Smith was used almost exclusively in passing situations his rookie year.
Tavon Austin, WR West Virginia (5-8, 174)
Last year's addition of LaMichael James represented the versatility the 49ers were looking to add to their offense. Gore and Kendall Hunter represented the meat and potatoes of the running game, while James offered the dynamic play-making ability those two might have lacked.
Adding Austin would fall in the same line of thinking, only at the receiving position. After running a 4.34 40-yard dash at the combine, he would be a great compliment to Crabtree and Boldin. Pairing him with offensive coordinator Greg Roman's ability to get players into space could be a scary proposition for opposing defenses. Austin originally went to West Virginia as a running back and could be used in read-option sets with Colin Kaepernick. And given his return abilities, he would be the 49ers' answer to the Seahawks acquiring Percy Harvin. There isn't a more explosive player in the draft.
Tyler Eifert, TE Notre Dame (6-5, 250)
The loss of Delanie Walker will not go unaddressed in this draft. The question is when.
Although the 49ers have Vernon Davis, he's limited in his ability to catch passes in traffic and works much better in space where his speed is on display. He often catches balls with his body and struggles when he has to turn his hands over. Eifert is a tight end that can win jump balls in the red zone - an area that could have been the difference in the team winning the Super Bowl.
It might be a stretch to think the 49ers would trade up to the mid-first round to find a player at a position that's already solidified. But given the type of mismatch problems Eifort could create with safeties and linebackers, it is something worth considering. San Francisco loves to run two tight-end sets and Eifert could be a big time weapon in traffic over the middle, perhaps in a Jimmy Graham mold. Otherwise, the team could go for Zach Ertz with its current pick at the back end of the first round of early in the second.
Kenny Vaccaro, S Texas (6-0, 214)
Safety is clearly one of the deepest positions in this draft. But as deep as it is, one name stands out from the rest. Vaccaro is our only five star-rated safety on the board and won't last long. The departure of Dashon Goldson could mean the 49ers have targeted Vaccaro to fill in as the starting free safety from Day 1.
There aren't many weaknesses in Vaccaro's game, except for occasionally being over aggressive and taking poor angles. But he was incredibly productive in his final year with the Long Horns, registering 92 tackles and two interceptions. He can play both in the box supporting the run and deep in coverage.
But given the depth at the position, San Francisco might not need to trade up to get their long-term solution at safety. The team could wait until it picks at the end of the first for play-maker Matt Elam (Florida), Jonathan Cyprien (Florida International), or Eric Reid (LSU). They could also wait until later and select D.J. Swearinger from South Carolina.
Sylvester Williams, DT North Carolina (6-2, 313)
Williams isn't slated to go as high as some of the other names mentioned here, but it's likely the 49ers would still need to trade up to get him. He's a guy with a great story, tremendous character and a high motor. He didn't have the grades to earn a Division I scholarship out of high school but worked his way to a starting position at a junior college before landing at North Carolina, where he continued to improve and turn into a potential first-round pick.
If San Francisco believes the late bloomer can continue to grow his game to pair with his high motor, he could be the long-term answer to the interior of the defensive line. But given the team rarely used a true nose tackle last year, they could wait until later in the draft to address that position. Need aside, Williams will be a tremendous asset to any locker room.

The 29-year-old reality star sits down with sisters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian and breaks down about making the decision to end things with her husband of four years. (In December, Khloe finally filed for divorce.)
"This was going back several months now," E! News' Ken Baker tells us. "If you look back to that time in Khloe's life, this was so hard … and she struggled with this privately before anyone knew publicly about the problems they were having … she'd been beating herself up over this and trying so hard and what we are seeing on Sunday's show is the end of a really long process of trying to make it work."
Ken, who is close with the family, adds that Khloe is now in great spirits and getting better everyday.

Excellent Hearing Aid at moderate cost
By Harry
from Sharon, MA
I have tried numerous hearing aids at so-called (self-promoted)"professional hearing aid providers". You may already know that they perform tests using what are apparently sophisticated instruments unique to a "professional" hearing- aid center, which then results in their recommendation for a hearing aid device which can run in the thousands of dollars. These persons are not professional medical doctors although many so represent themselves.I have found the hearing aid I purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer to be superior to anything else I have tried from the "professional" hearing aId centers and it is sold at a very very appealing price. I am pleased that with this aid, I can now hear normally ( as if I had no hearing problem whatsoever)- I strongly recommeNd this to anyone with a hearing problem who is seeking a reasonable cost solution. AND IMPORTANTLY, IF IT DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU - RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

good choice for the voice ...
By wolf the picture hunter
from Morin-Heights, Qc., Canada
I'm using the item inside and outside the house the whole day. If I don't need it, I put it in the small case to recharge. When I'm together with friends in the evening, I try to recharge it somewhere in the afternoon.the only con is the small wheel for adjustment of the volume: it turns too easy. So every time when I put it in my ear the volume has changed.I solved the problem gluing some piece of scotch over the wheel after adjustment of the volume. Now it works fine.the small skin coloured ear cap gives a better sound than the small transparent ear cap delivered by standard.It seems very important to me to explain the treatment of a rechargeable battery: the first time the battery must be fully charged, than completely unloaded than recharged again. this circle should be repeated at least twice before you get the maximum of your battery.I would like to learn all this stuff by the manual of the item !after a few days of experience now all is ok and I decided just to buy the second one.

Good sound but very difficult to use
By katknow

We had hoped to be able to use this during normal activities indoor and out but have found we have not yet figured out how to keep it in the ear when walking about.The sound is great for watching TV, films and hearing someone talk from a distance
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love my voice amp
By none
from Mabank, Tx.
I ordered this to use at church specifically. I used it for the first time and it was magnificent. Great for when only one person is speaking. Voice was louder and clearer. Not so good when everybody talks as it amplified everything and then you can't zero in on any one person's comments.

By Foxy

Lowering TV sound for my husband...(Primarily why purchased.) But, finding it enormously helpful hearing in meetings, movies, etc. Its pretty comfortable to wear and if volume is moderate (not too high,) one doesn't hear ones own voice to much. It doesn't take long to adjust to the differences. Love it!

Works great!
By Artie the Smartie
from Doylestown, PA
So far I am very pleased with this product. Works at least as well as the $1800 one I tried previously--which made outrageous claims. Probably best for moderate hearing loss, so I will not wear it constantly. Not looking for it to separate voice frequencies from background white noise, but it seems to achieve that result to some extent. For the price you really can't lose if you try it, and it can be returned.

Finally I can hear my wife!
By Steely Dan
from Annapolis, MD
I use the hearing aid to help me understand my wife. It provides an excellent enhancement of her voice and others. It does provide some it feedback squawks and took a bit of manipulation to insert it in the proper position and sometimes still squawks when I yawn, which causes some change in my ear canal. Overall it is an excellent improvement to my hearing with only minimal squawking.

Barn fire that killed 9 horses started in appliance-filled room
Published: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 9:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 9:15 a.m.
LAKE WORTH, Fla. — An incident report notes that a fire that killed nine horses started in a tack room filled with appliances.
The report released Monday by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue is in line with preliminary findings when the fire broke out on March 9. According to the report, several items — including microwaves and hot plates — were plugged into a surge protector behind the refrigerator.
The Palm Beach Post reports horse food and supplies were also stored in the tack room.
The 50-year-old barn in Lake Worth didn't have a sprinkler system.
Omar Cepeda, who has rented the barn for three years, told the Post he's battled depression over the loss of the horses. He says the horses cost about $40,000 each.

Blach keeps 'Hawks off the board
Giants prospect yields two hits over seven shutout innings
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | June 7, 2013 10:52 PM ET
There are generally two ways to succeed in a hitter-friendly environment -- keep men off base and keep the ball out of the air. This year in the California League, known around the Minors for its run-conducive locales, San Jose's Ty Blach has managed to pull off both objectives.
The Giants' No. 19 prospect had one of his stingiest outings of the season on Saturday night, allowing two hits over seven innings, as the Giants handed Lancaster its first shutout loss of the season, 7-0.
"To tell the truth, the defense is what was working for me, letting those guys make plays all day," Blach said. "Get ahead early in counts and let the defense play behind me."
That's the formula that's served him well all year. After striking out five without walking a batter against the JetHawks, Blach (7-2) has served up only two homers -- the fewest among qualifying Cal League pitchers.
The 22-year-old left-hander also has taken care of the other half of the equation. He's issued only six walks or 0.81 per nine innings and is ranked second in the circuit with a 1.05 WHIP.
"That's the thing I pride myself on, getting ahead of hitters, letting the defense play. And they've done a great job all year of making plays," Blach said. "It's easy to pitch with a defense like that."
All of that has led to a 2.70 ERA that also ranks second. And he's averaging a respectable 7.02 strikeouts per nine innings.
Blach has utilized a fastball that he said runs between 90-93 mph and a changeup while mixing in a curveball and slider. The key to his control, he added, is throwing first-pitch strikes that allow him to dictate the rhythm of the at-bat.
"Just be aggressive with strike one. If I'm attacking hitters, I can throw all my pitches for strikes and just be able to keep hitters off-balance," the Creighton University product explained. "Strike one is the most important thing to that. It allows me to expand the strike zone a little bit, make them hit my pitches and, ultimately, that's how you get hitters out."
It's a good deal of success for Blach, who's in his first professional season after the Giants selected him in the fifth round of last year's Draft. San Francisco was aggressive in assigning him to the Cal League to begin his career and, so far, he's responded to the challenge.
"I've worked really hard to get here and I'm not necessarily surprised by [the level of success]. I go out there, try to execute pitches, and if I do that, hitters will get themselves out," Blach said. "Obviously, in this league there's a lot of short porches, it's very hitter-friendly, but if you can execute down in the zone and keep it out of the air, you'll have a lot of success."
Offensively for San Jose on Saturday, Chris Lofton went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs and Bobby Haney chipped in three hits and drove in a run.

Dean's Quarterly Reports
Jones School Leadership
HOUSTON, April 23, 2007—Sean O. Ferguson, MBA '01, has been named Assistant Dean for Degree Programs at the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management effective July 1, 2007. In his new position, Ferguson will be responsible for overseeing the administrative activities of the School's three MBA programs, the admissions office and the career management center. He will focus on three major areas: metrics based process improvement, promoting one culture across the MBA programs, and working with internal and external stakeholders to help grow and develop the Jones Graduate School of Management degree programs. "Over the last ten years, the Jones School has made significant strides in becoming a world class business school," said Ferguson. "I am excited to have an opportunity to be a part of the ascent of the Jones school. I don't think there is a business school in the country with as much upside as our school." Before joining the Jones Graduate School of Management as MBA program director in 2005, Ferguson spent several years in management consulting and the software industry. Ferguson worked for Cap Gemini Ernst & Young in its transformation consulting practice and then with PROS Revenue Management as the product manager for its analytics and execution software products. Before getting his Rice MBA, Ferguson worked as a business line manager for Procter & Gamble's Bounty brand. He received his Bachelor of Science in engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Women In Hollywood
Talk about breaking barriers: Berry was the first (and only) black woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. The four-months-pregnant star is also producing the next two films she'll star in and is about to hit the big screen in Things We Lost in the Fire, which already has some critics buzzing about a second Oscar for her mantle.
Halle Berry in Things We Lost in the Fire; check out premiere.com for the latest reviews and photos.
While Bollywood films have enjoyed major success in their native India, American audiences hadn't caught on to the phenomenon before Indian-born director Mira Nair came along. 2001's Monsoon Wedding shed realistic light on an arranged Indian marriage, and last year's The Namesake brought similar attention to the Indian-American experience. Nair is currently in production on Shantaram, starring Johnny Depp as a heroin addict-cum-doctor in the slums of Bombay, bringing another slice of Indian life into the Hollywood spotlight.

Nicely situated very close to Ferrara castle and city center Very small shower (60 x 60 cm?)
not so much.... it was not clean at all. Absolutely not confortable: the bed which it was supposed to be double had two single mattreses which where not divided at the middle (you can image how good we slept). I dont advise to anybody this hotel.
Hotel staff, room No.
Hotel Touring has a perfect location: really 10 steps far from the castle! Staff is very kind and careful: they gave us a map of the city and a book guide free of charge on arrival. And they offer us free newspaper in the morning. Breakfast buffet offers a wide range of food. Rooms are a quite old, but clean and perfectly working.
Very nice and pleasant. Very good location.
Very comfortable
The location of the hotel is excellent, the room was always perfectly cleaned and the staff is very kind.
The staff is super friendly, competent, and welcoming!
The room was very big, confortable and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good breakfast.
friendly staff, good breakfast, bike service very good
We thought the rooms were great, staff were very friendly and helpful. Claudia and Chara I have to say were top class, very friendly.We would stay in the hotel again. Sandra Owens.
nice big rooms, comfort, minibar the daily cleaning of towels; Italy is a dry land and you should give the residents the option to use their towels for multiple days
large rooms, friendly staff also offering good advice on restaurants in town and sights of Ferrara, large breakfast choice
Supermarket in the ground floor.
When I opened the door of first room we were checked into I was a little surprised to see someone else's cases and handbag there. I didn't venture further in case I ambushed someone.
Beautiful location and view of the Castello, helpful courteous staff, inexpensive parking. There was a peculiar and unpleasant smell in the room and bathroom, possibly from the plumbing. That was annoying and unlike the rest of the experience.
The hotel was centrally located. The front desk was helpful. The room was modern and clean.
Very nice hotel - convenient to the Este Castle. Thought I did verything I was instructed to do but still got a parking ticket.
Breakfast staff very friendly. Fabio on reception very nice to our daughter. Excellent location The water was cut off on the day we left. We asked for a small bottle of water to be sent to our room so we could brush our teeth. On checking out, the hotel wanted to charge us for this! Not 4* standard in my opinion
Ideal place from the point of view of an arrangement, the big pure number, an excellent bathroom. Parking presence in the pedestrian availability. Breakfasts very modest
beautiful apartment
The town of Ferrara was so wonderful that everything seems bathed in a rosy hue, so we may overstate the hotel which is adjacent to the Este palace. It is a design hotel built, we thought, within an ancient building tho that is not obvious from inside. Rooms are minimalist but with adequate storage space. Restaurant is excellent and breakfast is good. Staff are agreeable and helpful. A free to use computer is available near the bar: better than the computer operated one in the room which befogged us.
the location no guarded parking, too far away no attentive service, minimum consideration no water pression in the bathroom
Good location. Appartment rooms are very big and comfortable for fair price. Restorant of the hotel is very nice too, but be prepared - expensive (50€ pp)
It was wonderful overlooking the magnificent castle and just minutes away from the centre of Ferrara
location and the facilities our room was behind the lift and next to the cleaners laundry - so lots of chatting in the morning - avoid room 308
Very friendly staff and a great breakfast. They had bikes we could use to roam the city. A central location with inexpensive parking nearby. Can't be beat... A bit hard to find since it is on the square and there are no indications that you can drive there.
Breakfast is super, and very nice view to Tower the bathroom is small..
Everything about this hotel was great, I'd give it 5 stars.
Friendly and comfortable. Good breakfast, Bicycles available. Great location.
The hotel is placed exactly in the heart of Ferrara. Another good thing about hotel is that they provide free bicycles to guests - it's wonderful, as everybody in Ferrara drive bicycles. The hotel staff is extremely helpful. The breakfast is good. None.
What an amazing location! A beautiful castle right outside our window!!! The staff were helpful and the facilities were excellent. Breakfast was delicious.
The location was perfect. We loved the castle view and walking from our hotel in the area at night was one of our favorate memories of Italy. The hotel was very nice and we felt at home. No.
The location was perfect, the breakfast was good and plentiful, the stall spoke good English and were helpful. Annex where we stayed was distance away. Wi-Fi did not work as advertized.
Breakfast, (good) pizza delivery serivce, good location if you travel by car.
It was good to have a kettle and tea/coffee available in the room. The advertised free shuttle bus was not available, as it was broken down.
Friendly helpful staff, welcome drink. Convenient location next to supermarket and restaurant and easy to find. everything worked well and the breakfast was good.
Very good breakfast, comfortable.
quiet, clean, friendly staff A longish walk to center city.
Quality/price is good
It was a very good location for my business trip, close to the industrial area. There is a Roadhouse Grill just out the door. The free wi-Fi connection is not good. The first room I was gived had a too poor connection, I was close to change hotel. The new room I was given had a better connection, but still not good. Next time I will try another hotel, I need the Internet for my job.
breakfast no
We used this as a stop-off between Verona and Pisa -- it was very functional but lacked any extra comforts. The cleaning was done but not complete -- our room had only half the pillow cases we needed and the room smelt of cleaning fluid.
the breakfast
We had a very nice stay with pleasant staff, nice and clean rooms and a good breakfirst to a reasonable price. No
Location and comfort are exelent and we enjoyed both. It is in the heart of the city and it is very peaceful, well for rest. The court is nice. There is no shoe brush. There were no salad and eggs for breakfast.
A most excellent hotel, close to the lovely city of Ferrara. The room we were given was the most creditable attribute of this charming hotel.
Easy access to the historic buildings that we wanted to see in Ferrara The bath was chipped
Really nice staff. Hotel is in centre of town. We were there for the wonderful noisy Busker Festival but our room was dead quiet, Easy to use safe no extra. I really can't think of anything except the fact that I read that there was no internet point. I suppose I might have used one but really it was a luxury not to have one for 5 days.
This is an excellent hotel and the price is quite a value. The hotel's interior and the rooms are nicely appointed, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is ample. In addition, free wifi is available in the lobby--a nice surprise since the booking.com description says there is no wifi available. I cannot imagine a nicer hotel for the price. Though wifi was available in the lobby and outdoor patio, it was not available in my room. But that gave me an excuse to sit out on the patio and enjoy the fresh air.
clean and spacious room, modern bath, good choices from large breakfast buffet, helpful staff limited foreign language capability at reception; high fee for car parking 30 Eur p.d.
Centraly located, clean, neat and classy, friendly. Perhaps the air-conditioning may work a little better - in that time's tremendous heat.
Excellent, stylish, quiet location in the historic center of Ferrara with an aristocratic, familiar atmosphere. Very friendly, helpful staff. Safe closed private parking in 3 minutes. Very difficult to find and reach by car (in the restricted downtown area full of one ways). "Cost saving" breakfast.
Charming atmospher in a beautiful historical building - beautuful courtyard.
My girlfriend and I have chosen the hotel for the anniversary and we were very satisfied with our choice! The hotel is very romantic, homy, well-kept, and it corrisponds comepletely to the four-star catagory!..
Great location and value for money.
hotel staff is very friendly
location It was not enough light in my room (electricity)
Very helpful and friendly staff; excellent location in centre of town
The facilities were very good, the position was excellent in the city centre, the staff were very friendly and the room was very clean Either the air conditioning wasn't working or I couldn't work out how to use it. There were no instructions. I like fresh air so slept with the windows open and was bitten by mosquitos. Maybe the hotel could provide instructions for technophobes like me.
The staff were very friendly and helpful... my wife and I arrived with our 2yr old. Although I'd put my daughter on the original booking request, she didn't appear on the reservation. The minute the receptionist saw her, she upgraded us to a larger suite without us asking, saying that our original suite wouldn't have been big enough. We arrived Thursday and left Tuesday. We didn't see the maid once - not good when you have a young child, dirty nappies, etc
Great location, nice room, very comfortable, very good breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. All was good.
Everything, except that a service fee of 60 Euro was charged during booking, in contrast to the descriptions on the webpage before. It appeared on the last page of the booking process. Probably, this is not the hotel´s fault though, but of booking.com.
The apartment was near the centre of Ferrara and the hotel staff were very helpful. We had to leave a deposit of 300 Euros in case of damage and also pay for the apartment when we checked in (which I paid for on my credit card). When we checked out the deposit was returned in cash on the last day of our holiday, as they said they couldn't reimburse my credit card.
Very good for its price range. There are three major things my wife and I require of a hotel - cleanliness, quietness from outside noise & traffic and helpful staff. This hotel came out with top marks in all three areas. The breakfasts were also very good.
Lovely place, wonderful staff, nice atmosphere, breakfast much better than average, with fresh fruit among other things. Perfect in every sense.
It was the quietest hotel we have experienced. It was so clean. The decor was outstanding. The breakfasts were very full with a lot of choices. I had absolutely no allergy reactions. We could sleep with the window ajar. The lighting was dim, except for the overhead light. It's such a small issue.
The staff, are excelent
Staff were very helpful
The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the clean and comfortable room and hallways with paintings, the extremely clean bathroom facilities, clean and comfortable bed and fresh breakfast. The ;old style' furniture of the bedroom although it was clean.
Great central location + very friendly staff
This hotel was a real find and we loved it, the stafff were very friendly and helpful, and the position in the centre of Ferrara could not be better. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was lovely, served in a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely go back here. It would have been nice to have a bath but thats not really a criticism as most hotels we have stayed in don't.
A very pleasant hotel, ideally placed for easy access to the main town attractions, and yet very quiet and peaceful. The rooms are very comfortable and breakfasts are excellent.
Clean hotel. Had an elevator. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Wonderful breakfast. Nothing
I have been a lot of times in Ferrara, in a 3 and 4 stars hotels but, this really is the best one! The price is excellente, the rooms are very big, they have a Internet Free, the cleanliness was better them one 4 stars and very comfort! This hotel really deserve to be a 3 stars hotel!
Clean. Handy location for centre of city. Upgraded to larger rooms at time of booking but price we paid via booking.com didn't appear to reflect appear a reduction on price advertised on room door (65 euros per person) - unlike other hotels i'VE booked via you where i've saved a little on room rate. But room was bigger than standard single so no real complaint Rooms a bit bare - vast and empty with bed, tv, immense wardrobe and not much else. A few pictures on the walls would cheer things up a bit! Also decent chair rather than basic office type chair. A stand or somewhere to put suitcase would be a help. Also a bit cold (marble floors chilly in november!) would have liked a bit of central heating.
Very nice and helpful staff, clean and spacy rooms, quiet rooms, the great location in the city centre. No.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday November 5th, 2013 1:24am
Over 18 seasons, UMass veteran head coach Greg Cannella's media poker face hasn't changed much. He's the Johnny Chan of the lacrosse world. Is the 2012 CAA Coach of the Year holding pocket aces or a bupkis draw? He'll never let on.
To wit:
Cannella, on earning the undisputed No. 1 ranking in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Poll and in the USILA Coaches' Poll this past week: "We don't talk about rankings ever here. It's more important to prepare for your next opponent. We make sure the guys in our lockerroom have to prove it every week, week in and week out. We've preached that for a long time. It wasn't one of their goals, so it doesn't affect them either way."
Cannella, on comparisons, if any, between this team and the 2006 team that made it to the NCAA championship game against Virginia: "That's probably a better question for after the season. It's not fair to compare this team to any other team. This team needs to continue to focus on the next contest, next game, next opportunity and leave it at that."
Coach on analyzing where his team will fall in the upcoming NCAA Tournament seedings: "I have not [looked at it]. We were getting ready for Towson, now we're getting ready for Drexel in two days. I don't have time for that honestly."
This deliberate centrality is inherent in the UMass mystique. It's the vaunted "Gorilla Ball" identity, that mix of tunnel vision and chip-on-the-shoulder expectancy that served the program well over the years. Just peek at these responses in a Gazzettenet.com article when UMass sat tied with Loyola (Md.) for the No. 1 ranking in mid-April. "It really doesn't mean anything," Tim McCormack told the Gazzette. Ditto senior attackman Art Kell, to the Gazzette. "I didn't even know we were ranked No. 1. That means nothing. We're not trying to become the No. 1 team in the polls. We're trying to go to the Final Four."
The attention, as always, is attuned to the next obstacle. After a good but expected 10-3 win over Towson in the CAA semifinals this past Wednesday, UMass must face Drexel, who upset Penn State in the other CAA semifinal, 13-11, this Saturday at 7 p.m. at Garber Field. A victory for the Minutemen would cap a 15-0 perfect regular season and set UMass up favorably for a top-ranked seeding in the NCAA Tournament.
Cannella gives specific credit to his team's 2012 success to his class of 11 seniors. Attackmen Steve D'Amario, Art Kell, Mike Fetterly and Anthony Biscardi; defensemen Alex Reinhard, Tom Celentani and Greg Anderson; middies Eric Soto, Anthony Toresco and Greg Rushing and redshirt-senior goalie Tim McCormack highlight the senior class. It's a typically UMass group, good but unheralded players with athletic upside from strong if not overly-hyped high school programs. Only one player (D'Amario) earned a spot in the 2008 Power 100 rankings.
Through four years of learning and working together, the seniors have established specific identities on both offense (uptempo, quick scoring) and defense (hard-nosed) that has UMass currently ranked third in the nation with 12.92 points per game and third in the nation with 6.69 goals against. Those are higher combined statistical rankings than the vaunted 2006 team (not to draw comparisons, of course.)
"It's a strong group with 11 guys, and with those seniors, each and everyone of them plays a significant role in our leadership," says Cannella. "There's a lot of leading off the field, with team meetings without the coaches."
The seniors have also done an excellent job working to build "secondary leaders" among the underclassmen, says Cannella. Players like 2012 CAA Player Of the Year, junior Will Manny (71 points) have been able to contribute under the team dynamic.
Beyond the individual hype and team acknowledgments, though, there's Drexel. UMass won the regular-season matchup, but it was a close 8-6 victory, one of only three times this season the Minutemen were held to a single-digit scoring mark. This game could be more of the same, with senior Mark Manos in goal for the Dragons and Tim McCormack serving as netminder for UMass.
"There's a lot of momentum and excitement for them," says Cannella. "Hopefully it's a good game, similar to the one a few weeks ago."
Another simple, straight forward statement. Coach Cannella, once again keeping the hole card close, the UMass way.

Peter Beinart is editor of Open Zion and author of The Crisis of Zionism.
If the Arabs had just accepted Zionism (signifying their own dispossession), then World War II might have turned out differently.
By viewing Zionism as racism, many Palestinians saw Israelis harshly as cruel brutes.
They kept lists of villagers in each village believed hostile to Zionism.
The bottom line is this: mainstream Zionism values Jewish majoritarianism over democracy and pretty much everything else.
This is an allegory referring to certain aspects of Zionism.
The premises of political Zionism are that there is a Jewish nation.
Zionism, Socialism and Anarchism come up in turn, and so many trenchant and vital things are said on these subjects.
This is, in brief, the theological side of the vexed question of Zionism.
The common opinion is that you are an enemy of Zionism in general, and of the Jewish Legion in particular.
The belief that Jews should have their own nation; Jewish nationalism. Zionism gained much support among Jews and others in the early twentieth century, and the hoped-for nation was established in the late 1940s in Palestine, as the state of Israel. Zionism is opposed by most Arabs. (See Arab-Israeli conflict.)

LSU reserve quarterback Stephen Rivers has decided to transfer, he and father said Wednesday night.
News of Rivers' decision came after his brother, San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, told ESPN.com of Stephen's decision.
Stephen, working as a student assistant in the LSU Sports Information Department, was passing out stat sheets at Wednesday's LSU-Mississippi State men's basketball game when the news broke. He gave an impromptu news conference at halftime.
"There's an opportunity for me to hopefully play somewhere else," Rivers said. "I've had a great three years here, maybe not necessarily gotten on the field as much as I wanted to, but I've really enjoyed my time here."
The Athens, Ala., native said he is on track to graduate in May, meaning he is allowed to transfer immediately and play at another school this fall.
He said he likely won't decide on a school until May. Rivers has two years of eligibility remaining.
Rivers went into the 2013 season as senior Zach Mettenberger's backup but fell behind freshman Anthony Jennings on the depth chart.
A pocket passer like Mettenberger, the 6-foot-7 Rivers was expected to be behind Jennings and incoming freshman Brandon Harris going into this season. Both Jennings and Harris are dual-threat quarterbacks.
LSU's offense is "going in a different direction," said Steve Rivers, Stephen's father.
Both father and son said Rivers is leaving LSU on good terms.
"They've been really cooperative," Stephen Rivers said of LSU's coaching staff. "Everything's good. There's no bad blood. I really love this place. The hard part about it is there's really nothing bad I can say. I hate to be leaving, but sometimes you've just got to do what's best for you."
"Everything is on the up and up," Steve Rivers said. "We love LSU."
Stephen Rivers played in four games during his career at LSU and attempted two passes.
LSU begins spring practice March 7 and the spring game is set for April 5. Rivers said he will continue to weight train at LSU but will not take part in spring practice

Conceicao's brace leads No. 21 Tusculum past Brevard, 3-0September 24, 2008
Tornados outshot 22-4 in dropping fourth straight SAC game
Greeneville, Tenn. - All-SAC performer Bruno Conceicao scored a pair of goals as No. 21 Tusculum College breezed past Brevard College, 3-0, Wednesday afternoon at Pioneer Field. With the win, the Pioneers improve to 7-1 and even their South Atlantic Conference record at 1-1. Brevard falls to 1-7-1 (0-4 SAC).
The Pioneers dominated the Tornados in the opening 45, attempting 10 shots to their opponent's one, but it did not show on the scoreboard, as the teams went to the intermission scoreless. But Conceicao (Valencia, Bahia) finally tore the lid off the goal in the 51st minute. Corey McPherson (Dallas, Tex.) headed a ball into the box, which Anteneh Lemma (Stockholm, Sweden) passed on to Conceicao. The senior striker touched the ball past Brevard keeper Jerry Hatsady (Orlando, Fla.) to make the score 1-0.
Conceicao completed his brace in the 80th minute on another assist from McPherson. After McPherson's initial shot was blocked by Hatsady, the junior Texan linked up with his fellow striker, who again buried the ball to double the lead at 2-0. The goal is Conceicao's tenth in just eight matches in 2008.
The final nail in the coffin came in the 88th minute when Lemma tallied a goal of his own. After Conceicao served a beautiful lead pass, Lemma dribbled past Hatsady and set the score at its final 3-0 line.
Brevard forward Miika Kasterinen (Jyvasleya, Finland) was the only Tornado to put a shot on goal, but it was saved by Tusculum keeper Lance Moore (Morristown, Tenn.). Hatsady allowed the three goals but did his part to keep the result respectable, stopping six of TC's nine shots on goal.
Brevard resumes its quest for a second win Saturday against Toccoa Falls College. The home match begins at 4 p.m. Tusculum hosts Wingate University on Saturday in a battle of teams ranked in the top five of the NSCAA Division II Southeast region rankings. The showdown begins at 7 p.m.

Yemen Busts Huge al-Qaeda Plot
(NEWSER) – Al-Qaeda wasn't just planning a one-off suicide bombing of the usual variety—it was close to pulling the trigger on a highly coordinated operation in Yemen that involved blowing up pipelines and taking control of key port cities, reports the BBC. The news service also says US special operations forces are preparing to launch "strike operations" in Yemen, which would mark a significant increase from their typical role in providing training. The US yesterday warned citizens to get out of the country.

True love waits?
Socially conservative lawmakers in Olympia have introduced what they call the Family Second Chances Act, a bill that would extend the waiting period for divorces to one year from 90 days.
C'mon, guys — one year's too long to sleep in the garage.
Dressing up the town: Up in Mount Vernon, the City Council may drop cross-dressing as restricted activity under its laws regulating adult businesses.
They might as well, since the law is openly flouted by kilt-clad men every summer during the annual Skagit Valley Highland Games.
Mature action: Some 25 years after the original "Die Hard," Bruce Willis returns today as John McClane in "A Good Day to Die Hard." In it, he joins forces with his son to battle a fresh crop of ponytailed Eurotrash villains.
In another 25 years, we can expect yet another sequel, "Die Hard, But Not During Matlock." In it, an aged but still game McClane shuffles into action when a bad guy lands a stolen jet on the roof of his nursing home. Catchphrase: "Yippee ki-yay, whippersnapper."

Installed BT5-R3 and installed NVIDIA drive and got "no screens" error. I have been trying to work on this myself for the past 2 weeks, and have not been able to resolve it, so I need some help. I have searched, read, and tried everything I could find, with no luck. From what I have gathered I guess it may have to do with intel and NVIDIA together? I tried some things that fixed others issues, but did not work for me.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @2.3GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
I didn't copy info from log, but did from the main error screen. I am just in the middle of work while switched over to Windows 7 on the same computer. Just thought I would post this up first in case someone had any new ideas to try. Will come back and post log, when I get a break.
this tutorial.
Think like a criminal and act as a professional.
Just letting you know I am trying this out. Been behind on work. As of now it is not working but I am trying to figure it out. I'll update once I get somewhere with this. Thanks.
-- Did a little more work on this and was able to get it working all the way through, but still cannot change my screen resolution. Says I only have one option. I have been searching for fixes, but have not found anything yet. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I will update if I find anything that works. Thanks.

At the end, what driver are you using? i915, nouveau? Nvidia propietary?..the driver will give you the feature to change resolution...Need more info...
Ive been trying also, but i realised that when you let nvidia automatically update the xorg.conf, it doesnt update it properly! It does not locate and update the xorg.conf to add your GPUs' PCI location!
What you have to do is locate Bus id of your graphics card,
find your gpu pci, it will have a bus id in front of it, looking similar to,Code:lspci
Now, edit your xorg.conf,Code:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVdia corporation Device 1058 (rev a1)
scroll down until you see the device section, talking about your nvidia card, then in the last line of that device section, put the following line in, (marked in bold) like so,Code:nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
CTRL + X, yes to save and changes.Code:Section "Device" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
its now updated to find the graphics card; no more "No Screens detected" error
I've tried :
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
apt-get update
apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings
Reboot then nvidia-xconfig
apt-get install compiz compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald simple-ccsm fusion-icon
#echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conft
#update-initramfs -u
# init 3
# sh <Nvidiafilename>.run
I've tried all the solutions that I could find on the internet but with no success i always get "no screen found" error
I am using Nvidia GT540m with intel i7 2nd Gen. with integrated graphics and I hope thats not the problem. I have BT5 r3 KDE x64
I will be very thankful to whoever find a solution to this problem.
See if noveau is blacklisted. Please, can you post the /etc/X11/xorg.conf complete. I want to see the monitor section..
do you try
fix -splash
This is my xorg file but have in mind that I have deleted the one from nvidia because of the "no screen found" error in order to load X.

can a spirit fall in love with the living?
Posted 21 July 2006 - 05:31 PM
Posted 21 July 2006 - 05:59 PM
nevermind stupid question
i saw somthing on tv that talked about spirits loving people not like family but in love i just wanted to know if it could happen(curious )
Posted 21 July 2006 - 06:06 PM
Why is it not possible? Spirits are entities that has feelings too, so it is quite possible for them to fall in love with a person on the material world. Though the love can have limitations or different essence altogether.
Posted 21 July 2006 - 06:09 PM
i know they have feelings but its just sad and...i mean it would be hard and...it sounds romantic yet sad thats all
No, it wasn't a stupid question at all.

Nope, it may not be "sad" all the time. A Spirit becomes a Ghost when it attaches itself to the "previous" existence on the material plane. The emotions and the bondings is what is creating a Ghost out of the Spirit.
Posted 21 July 2006 - 06:16 PM
Other than that, they are individual entities, and they also could have feelings.
Posted 21 July 2006 - 06:22 PM
sorry um im only 14 and i am very interested and want to learn (alot) about the subject and thank you for helping so much
Look at it this way. All "ghost" hautings are reported where a very intense emotion have taken place. So, we can assume that the Spirits are attached to a place or a thing or an event which makes them Ghosts.
Other than that, they are individual entities, and they also could have feelings.

Love is a feeling of great magnitude. You can love in lots of ways, it does not mean it just has to be in the boy meets girl way, you can fall in love with a person because of there soul ... with the soul, there are no time or physical boundries.
Posted 22 July 2006 - 05:27 AM
For many years, I have had a male spirit that had a particular attachment to me, beginning when I was a teenager. He may have been around before then(I have had other spirits around me during my life, but I never really paid attention to them until I was older) but when I was about 13-14 he made himself known.
He would wake me up if I had nightmares, wake me up from naps if I had overslept(I told this story on a board around here awhile back) and was particularly touchy when I was going to sleep or was asleep (as in strocking my hair, rubbing my back). He is mainly around when I am particually emotional or sleepy (no idea why on this one lol)
Now, I know this spirit for a fact has no family connection to me. I have had no male family (since like the 1800s) who died at a young age(which for him is like 18-25) so I figure he has no connection to me that way. Plus, he just doesn't seem to have that connection to me. Essentially, I never really thought about his connection to me, other than the fact he was around alot and was really helpful.
It wasn't till I was about 17 and in a serious relationship that I realized that he had feelings for me in the love sense. I was staying at my then boyfriend's house, and he woke me up asking me if I had a male spirit that follows me around (he's pagan also so this was nothing to be freaked over). I told him yes, and he said that apparently me staying over there with him had made the spirit angry. My then boyfriend had woken up to a man waking him up, and then glaring at him and essentially looking pretty BAD_WORD and who was hovering over me, as if protecting me from my boyfriend. He also said that he got a really 'angry' vibe off the spirit, and was a bi put off by the feelings the spirit was conveying After this incident, everytime I am near a male that has intrests in me other than friendship, the spirit gets really aggitated and upset.
Also, I just remembered something. When I first moved into the apartment I am in now (which I share with my ex who is the boyfriend mentioned about) I had an incident when I was in the kitchen. i had only been here a week, I was washing dishes when I felt someone behind me. I turned around to see a male (really visible, like crazt visable so much that I thought someone had snuck into my house) and he looked at me with anger and slammed his fist onto my trash can and toppled it over. Freaked me out to say the least...I ran to my room and hid there until I was able to calm down lol I am pretty sure it was him, but since the male was a lot more clearer looking, I was not sure.
I told my mother about this, and she believes that he is my spirit husband (a belief that some Shamans have. It is essentially your 'other half' in the spirit realm, whom you can go through a cermemony in which you marry the spirit with your own spirit) I am not sure that the spirit I have had around me is, but either way, he is really protective over me and lets the males around me know (especially when I am home) that he is not happy with them.
Either way, I am pretty sure that my male spirit has feelings of the loving nature for me. It is a little odd, but comforting in the same way.
I know this may sound a little odd, but hey, life is what happens lol
