The University of South Carolina Beaufort women's soccer team made the final regular-season home game for its four seniors a memorable one, blanking Johnson & Wales 3-0 in a key Sun Conference game Sunday at Fin Land Field.
The Sand Sharks (7-7, 2-3 Sun Conference) scored on penalty kicks by Stephanie Moldenhauer and Marissa Hamm and added a beautiful goal on Alexa Muffley's header off a Becca Kent corner kick to close their home schedule with a key victory for their hopes of qualifying for the Sun Conference tournament.
Goalkeeper Chelsie Mummert was brilliant for the Sand Sharks, stopping all eight of shots on goal by Johnson & Wales (3-6, 1-5) for her third shutout.
Moldenhauer opened the scoring in the 37th minute, when she was awarded a penalty kick after the Wildcats were whistled for a foul in the box. The sophomore put away the penalty for her fourth goal of the season and her career, making her USCB's single-season and all-time goal leader. Lauren Cornett held both marks after scoring three goals last season.
The Sand Sharks padded the margin in the 69th minute, as Hamm converted a penalty kick after the Wildcats were called for a handball in the box.
USCB dismissed any controversy over the two penalties in the 81st minute, when Kent sent a corner into the box for Muffley, who put it away with a header for her third goal of the year.
Kent was one of four USCB seniors honored at halftime of their final regular-season home game. Her sisters - Kathleen Kent and Blair Kent - also were honored, along with Soledad Bucaram.
"Yet again, our team showed tremendous resilience in bouncing back after a tough loss," coach Ed Heberling said. "The team stepped up and played a great game for our four seniors in their last home game. This will be a great game for us to build from as we hit the road for two more big conference games this weekend."
The Sand Sharks travel to Florida to face Southeastern (6-5, 3-3) at 7 p.m. Friday and take on Ave Maria (2-7, 0-5) at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Vecchio, Carder lead
the way at Disney
ORLANDO, Fla. - Sophomores Anthony Vecchio and Melissa Carder - the reigning Sun Conference runners of the week - led the USCB cross country team on a muggy day and a muddy course at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.
Vecchio continued his strong season by finishing 26th among 190 runners in the eight-kilometer men's race with a time of 27 minutes, 36 seconds. Matthew Harper (116th, 30:59) was USCB's second finisher, followed by John Stanas (143rd, 33:16), Avery Singleton (168th, 36:08) and Isaac Miles (189th, 44:27).
Carder finished 31st among 232 runners in the women's race, finishing the five-kilometer course in 20:21. Meleah Powers (134th, 23:11) was USCB's next finisher, followed by Jessica Brown (164th, 24:07), Cassie Beato (183rd, 25:09) and Rachelle Toth (206th, 27:06). Sarah Milisci (213th, 28:58) and Rebekah Herty (218th, 30:37) rounded out USCB's lineup.
USCB's men finished 20th among 23 teams, and the women were 23rd among 27 teams.
Next up, USCB hosts the Sand Shark Invitational on Oct. 20 at Sgt. Jasper Park in Hardeeville. Many of the top teams in the Southeast will participate in the race, which will be open to the public and free to spectators.

Federer eases through in Dubai
Roger Federer survived a late wobble to cruise into the second round of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
Serving at 5-4 in the second set, after winning the first 6-1 on the hard court of the Dubai Duty Free Stadium against Germany's Benjamin Becker, Federer had two match points but let slip a 40-15 lead.
Becker, however, failed to take advantage of what proved to be his only break point of the hour-long match as Federer, a five-time winner of the event, eventually wrapped up a routine victory, 6-1 6-4.
The world number eight, seeded four at this event, will play either the Czech Republic's Radek Stepanek or American Michael Russell in the last 16.
Dmitry Tursunov is also through to the second round after the number eight seed defeated qualifier Lukas Lacko 7-5 6-1.
Andreas Seppi had to come from behind to beat Florian Mayer 4-6 6-1 7-5, whilst Roberto Bautista-Agut eased past qualifier Adrian Ungur 6-1 6-3 to take his place in the second round and a likely meeting with number one seed Novak Djokovic.

Korg's flagship professional arranger workstation is better than ever.
The Korg Pa Series has a new flagship: the Pa3X, the most realistic, powerful, and easy-to-use arranger workstation ever produced. For years, Korg's Pa Series has been the most respected, envied, and successful line of interactive arranger workstations on the planet. Once again, Korg has raised the standard of excellence by offering new, richer, and more realistic sounds; creating amazing new features, and offering a fresh - yet elegant - design.
Two to choose from
The Pa3X comes in two different configurations. First is the compact and lightweight 61-key model. Also available is the 76-key version, offering a semi-weighted action and a motorized tilting display. Both keyboards feel great, and both models feature naturally responsive key-on / key-off velocity sensitivity and aftertouch, and both were designed for beginners through to demanding professional keyboard players.
First appearances!
The elegant aluminum cabinet and inspiring user interface was conceived to make a strong visual statement by a renowned team of talented industrial designers from Europe. The main panel has been redesigned and optimized to ensure that sliders and knobs are ergonomically and intuitively well positioned to enhance any performance.
Korg's graphical user interface is now even easier to read and has been renewed with more detailed icons and objects thanks to the new TFT Graphical Color Touch Screen. The screen has been enriched with new side tabs for quick access to the most important functions. The new Search feature quickly locates anything needed during live performance. The 76-key model of the Pa3X also features a motorized tilting display!
PaAS quick-connect monitor
An optional super high-fidelity speaker/amplification bar has been specifically designed to connect directly to the keyboard. Useful for both home use and on-stage monitoring, the PaAS uses Korg's "Easy Connect" system: no additional support, no cables, no power supply needed to deliver crisp, clean full range sound.
Sound quality at its best!
Based on Korg's sophisticated EDS (Extended Definition Synthesis) Engine, the Pa3X provides truly outstanding new sounds. Korg's RX (Real eXperience) Technology and the DNC (Defined Nuance Control) system refine an already powerful sound engine, allowing the performer to accurately and expressively introduce the most subtle nuances and sound articulation. Assignable switches and a ribbon strip have been added to the joystick control; the result is deeper control and even richer expression.
Many demanding professional sampling sessions with some of the finest musicians in the music industry have resulted in more detailed natural sounds than ever before. More than 1,100 sounds, including a new stereo grand piano (with string resonance and damper realism) and new electric pianos from the acclaimed KORG SV-1 stage piano; new wind instruments, basses and stunning guitars; plus new digital drawbars with leakage and key on/off noises provide the perfect sound foundation for any harmonic and melodic need.
More than 100 drumkits, including new Real Ambience Drumkits, give life to any rhythmic texture and sound truly authentic due to the Drums Family Easy Editing, which gives total control over volume, pitch, EQ, ambience, and more.
The vast 256 MB memory (PCM User memory) can be expanded to a massive 512 MB (when calculated as 16-bit linear data), with the optional EXB-M256 memory expansion board, so custom sounds can easily be added. Another first is the Self-Refresh Memory Backup battery for all factory and user PCM data, making start-up of the Pa3X much, much faster. An intelligent re-charging system ensures the battery is always charged.
The internal Sampler is now equipped with a new Sound Compression tool (no loss, 1:2 ratio). The Pa3X can also Load/Import Korg, WAV, AIFF, and Akai samples and export in WAV or AIFF. Sounds can be fully edited, and can now use up to 24 oscillators for each note!
The General MIDI (GM) sound bank has been improved for better compatibility with GM files.
Korg's Finest Effects
The use of premium effects can not only add polish and class to your overall sound; they can also make your music tracks sound more interesting! Korg is famous for its outstanding studio quality effects, and the Pa3X includes the best of the Korg effects library. Up to 8 stereo digital multi-effect processors can be used at once. Over 140 effect types are available, running from the standard reverbs and delays through to the more unusual effects such as vocoding, as well as the new vintage effects from the acclaimed SV-1 Stage Vintage Piano
Waves Audio suite
Some effects are suitable for single instruments while others add the final coloring, space and texture to the overall piece. For the latter, the Pa3X includes effects from an industry leader: Waves Audio. The Pa3X includes the powerful MaxxAudio suite, which has been described as "the next generation of audio processing tools". These onboard effects, which include MaxxBass, MaxxVolume, MaxxEQ, MaxxTreble and MaxxStereo, provide unparalleled performance, delivering sound that is louder, clearer, fuller, and more polished.
TC-Helicon Voice Processor
Korg's long-term cooperation with the world leader in vocal harmonies, TC-Helicon, continues in the Pa3X with the new Voice Processor, recognized as the state of the art in vocal and harmony processing. With new features and new algorithms, including even better pitch correction, the TC-Helicon Voice Processor ensures your vocals have the highest possible sound quality. Up to 4 realistic voices plus 2 doubled harmonies are available and can be controlled by the keyboard, MIDI and even MP3 input. Thanks to the new Audio Chord Detection function, chords can be automatically extracted from an audio file and sent to the Vocal Processor! Other 5 effect blocks are available, including Reverb, Delay , Mod and special FX such as Megaphone and Hardtune.
Adaptive Mic Setting is a special feature that puts RX technology to work immediately after connecting the microphone to the XLR/Combo balanced input. This amazing new feature monitors the input signal and auto adjusts parameters such as the Adaptive Gate, EQ, Compression and the De-Esser to make the vocals sound smooth and "studio produced." Adaptive Mic Setting is unique to Korg in the world of Arrangers!
To ensure professional vocal performance, 3 knobs and 3 buttons controlling the most important vocal functions have been added to the top panel within easy reach.
Do it with Style!
The Pa3X delivers over 400 Styles, straight out of the box. Each one is a fully-realized musical environment dedicated to creating a particular musical style. With so many to choose from the Pa3X can provide instant access to a vast and robust range of musical genres. Each Style features 4 Fill In + Break patterns, one for each variation. Using the new Auto Fill function they can be automatically recalled as you move between the four variations. Our international sound team had created many new Styles; and many of our revered and well-known Styles have been improved with new sounds and new effects. The Pa3X holds 1,200 locations for you to save your new Styles and your own settings.
Several new sophisticated parameters which ensure professional and realistic guitar tracks have been added with Guitar Mode 2, making the guitar tracks of every Style rich and authentic.
A new function called Chord Sequencer records your chord progressions on-the-fly allowing the user to immediately play along with their own chord sequence.
The famous Korg XDS Crossfade Dual Sequencer Player now supports, in addition to the main music formats, the "+G" format for both MP3 and MIDI files which can be played together. This new feature allows backing sequences to play with enriched lyrics and graphics which can be displayed simultaneously on the on-board TFT display and on an external monitor (with the VIF4 option installed). There is also a Marker Function, allowing direct jumps to a given position in the song. A sophisticated Score Viewer is also available.
Two different MP3 or MIDI files can be played simultaneously and both MIDI and MP3 files can be transposed, accelerated or slowed down. Powerful new technology drives the all new Advanced Vocal Remover, allowing vocals to be removed from MP3 files with unparalleled accuracy. More advanced than a simple center-channel cancellation tool, the Advanced Vocal Remover keeps the original stereo image of the song while removing just the main vocals.
The enhanced 16-track sequencer allows the most sophisticated levels of sequencing, but also provides quick and easy song creation using the Backing Sequence function. And because the Pa3X is very clever, it can record your entire performance! You can run a song, play the keyboard, sing along and everything will be recorded in MP3 format and stored on an external USB device or in the internal Hard Disk (76 version only; optional for the 61 key version).
The SongBook
Particularly useful for live use, the SongBook is a fully programmable and easily searchable Music Database. Each entry contains all the settings required to play a particular song. A single entry can recall a Style, a MIDI file or an MP3, along with all the other performance parameters needed for perfect song playback.

Sponsler '16 Getting Comfortable at Wabashby Scott Morrison '14 • January 8, 2013 Share:
It takes time for incoming freshmen to adjust to college workload. Ross Sponsler '16 has experienced this struggle, but feels like an old veteran in one spot on campus – on the basketball court.
Sponsler, who plays guard for the Little Giant basketball team, has been challenged in almost every way in his first semester. Early on, he struggled finding the balance between academics and athletics.
"I was really close to going to Indiana State and not continuing here, but I think the relationships that I have built with other guys have gotten me through it and Wabash has started growing on me," Sponsler admitted.
Starting point guard Houston Hodges '15 is one of the guys who really helped Sponsler acclimate to Wabash.
Apart from the daily Wabash grind, Sponsler has even been challenged in new ways on the hardwood. His grandfather introduced him to basketball at a really young age, and he has experienced a lot through basketball. This year brought a new first – injury. Sponsler suffered a knee injury early in the season and sprained an ankle before the Wooster game.
"I had never missed a game before this year because of an injury or anything like that, so that has been a little bit tough to deal with and has provided some adversity," he said. "But when I have played, it has been a good experience."
Despite the injuries, Sponsler maintains an uncanny comfort on the court. In a victory over Denison this year, he helped secure the game by scoring five straight points to answer a late Denison comeback.
"I don't think being a freshman has as big of a role in it as people [think]," Sponsler said. "No matter if it's D-III or D-I basketball, people put so much into being a freshman. I don't think it plays so much of a role in it. My teammates have confidence in me, and my coaches have confidence in me to take important shots and make them. That's why I take them."
Sponslor led Wabash with 21 points Jan. 5 in a triple overtime win over Allegheny. He was named NCAC player of the week and named to the D3hoops.com team of the week.
This confidence has not gone unnoticed by the coaching staff. "Ross isn't your typical freshman," Coach Antoine Carpenter said. "He has a strong willpower for excellence and basketball IQ. Late in the game versus Denison, he was able to make some big plays. I think it was just his competitive spirit and natural instincts for the moment."
Sponsler is already a big offensive threat. While shooting is now the strongest aspect of his game, it took a while for Sponsler to come into his own at Terre Haute North High School. "In high school I really didn't come out offensively until my senior year, just because that was the way our system ran," Sponsler said. "But I have always been a pretty solid offensive player so that's what I'm hoping to carry on here."
Sponsler wants to improve his skills at point guard to contribute when Hodges and Evan Johnson '13 need a break from running the offense. Carpenter believes the sky is the limit for the freshman.
"He has all the tools to develop into one of the great scorers at Wabash," Carpenter said. "He can shoot it, finish at the rim, and get to the line. But more importantly, not only can he score, he's a great teammate and has the ability to get others involved."
Sponsler came to Wabash because of the academics, alumni network, and the brotherhood. He looked at DePauw, St. Francis in Fort Wayne, and Hanover, but the brotherhood of Wabash made his decision easy. So far he has relished the physical play of the NCAC and is looking forward to playing DePauw.
"I have a couple friends back home that are going to DePauw, so it'll introduce a new type of rivalry to me," Sponsler said. "Terre Haute North was always rival of Terre Haute South, so coming here and having a big time rival in DePauw was important to me because that's familiar to what I had in high school."
Sponsler is considering political science or rhetoric for his major, but he has some time to figure out his academic path. For now, he knows he and the team can improve, and he will keep enjoying the relationships he's found at Wabash College.

Lies common people believe
Warning: This entry contains some provocative thoughts, some questions to ponder, and may even change the way you see how the world works. Some people are so afraid of moving out of their comfort zone, they would rather live a lie. If you are one of them, you may want to stop reading this. Come back for my future entries or read my past blogs instead. But if you are one of those who want to grow, to improve, or just open to new perspective, then I sincerely hope the information below will be able to help.
This may require some open-mindedness by the way. So let me start with a quote: "A deceived person doesn't know he is deceived. To him, the deception is what appears normal – it's the truth that seems odd." So if you find what I am about to share with you a bit hard to swallow, just remember that is how a deceived person perceives. Truth can be stranger than fiction.
Number 1: Who pays the most tax?
Do the rich or the poor pay more in taxes? I think the answer is obvious. I can hear people shouting "the rich!"
Wrong! The rich are NOT the ones who pay the most taxes. The middle class do. It's people like you and me who ended up paying more taxes. It's people who work the 9-5 clock that really pays more. This misinformation is so deep-rooted even parents and teachers will continue to hand down this "lie" to the next generation without them knowing it.
You need proof?
Why don't you research how much Warren Buffet's income tax was? It's in the news. Go ahead, google it up.
It's 17.4%. Yes, billionaire Buffett, one of the richest men alive, is required to pay only 17% income tax. No illegal or unlawful activities here. That's all he really needs to pay.
How can this be?
In the Philippines, income taxes can easily reach 30%. In Australia, it can reach up to 40%. In Amsterdam, it even reaches 50%. So how can a Billionaire only be paying 17%? What's funny is that Buffett's secretary is paying a 35.8% tax rate, about double the rate of her boss's. How can this be?
Here's how. There's more than 1 reason, but I'll keep this as simplified as possible, so I'll just share 1 explanation.
I got this from Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad book. Corporation owners (the rich) can invest and spend first, then get taxed with what is left. On the other hand, employees (middle class, including some CEOs) are taxed first, before they can even start to spend or invest.
It goes like this:
Rich / Owners of Corporations – 1. Earn 2. Spend 3. Taxed
Poor & Middle Class / Employees – 1. Earn 2. Taxed 3. Spend
This is a very simplified explanation. I do not want to discuss complex matters here and make you feel sleepy. If you want to learn more about this and get the complete picture, I recommend you read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad.
This does not only apply to Warren Buffett, but to all the billionaires out there. This does not apply only in the US, it's the same rules in any country.
So before I move on to the next point, just remember this. The next time someone tell you the rich pays the most taxes, you know better 😉
Number 2: Money = Debt
Do you know how much the US National Debt is? It's hard to keep track because it's increasing every second. But as of this writing, it's $15.69 Trillion. (To track the debt in real time, go to http://www.goldmoneyfuture.com)
Do you know how much is the total US Dollars in circulation? Again, it's changing every second, but it's about $12 Trillion.
Did you notice something odd by now? The debt is actually bigger than all the currency bills printed. How can you pay off $15 Trillion if you only have $12 Trillion? So even if you get each and every single US dollar bills and coins, it's still not enough to pay the debt! The debt will always be higher than all the money in circulation. Always!
And it's not just in the US. All nations are in debt (except for 4 tiny, almost-inconsequential nations). And it's the same thing with the remaining 190+ countries, debts can never be paid. They can always print more money, but the reality is the more money they print the more debts there will be. Because money, if you understand how the system works, is debt. Sorry I won't that explain here, but I'll give you a good link later where you can get more information.
I have been asked "Can't nations just cancel each other's debt?" The thing is they don't owe each other. So the question now is, who do they owe all these debts to?
Time to talk about the central banks.
Number 3: Are Central Banks really government-owned?
This is a highly sensitive topic so I'll try to avoid controversy as much as I can. Think of the central bank in your own country. If you are in the US, think of the Federal Reserve. For my fellow countrymen, think of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Ask yourself who owns these institutions. If you think it's 100% government-owned, it's time to rewire your brain and clean it up from the massive misinformation that has been fed to the general public.
I guess that's all I can say. The rest of this controversial topic you have to find out for yourself.
The bottomline here is this: not only do the middle class ended up paying more taxes, not only do the middle class ended up working more to pay their nation's debt that can never be fully paid, but it's the middle class's butts that are kicked the hardest and kicked the most often. What really amazes me is that majority of the middle class are not even aware how hard their butts are being kicked. Or perhaps it has been happening too often most of them are just numb.
I know May 1st had just passed, and I'm sorry for sharing such topic to the middle class right after Labor's Day. But I believe it is better to live an uncomfortable reality than live a comfortable lie. And don't feel bad about this. Don't be a pessimist. Remember every problem has its solution. Every problem lies a hidden opportunity. And the bigger the problem, the bigger the opportunity.
Me and my friends created a website where you can further understand two things: this problem that affects us all, and the opportunity it brings. This is absolutely free. My friend James Cox even created an online lecture called "The History and Probable Future of Money". You can watch it at http://www.goldmoneyfuture.com
The middle class of the world is shrinking fast. You have two choices now. Do nothing and get slaughtered financially. Or educate yourself, get protected from the upcoming financial disaster, and take advantage of the opportunity hidden within the disaster.
Choose wisely,
Dan Mark See
[By the way if you think you are rich and believe that this will not affect you, remember the top 2% of the population owned 50% of the world's wealth. Either I'm really lucky to have one of the top 2% read my blog, or some middle class fellow has been deceived again to think they are rich. Peace :D]
[One last point, rallying and protesting in the streets like you see in the news won't solve any problems, it won't get you closer to the upcoming opportunity either. To understand how to see the gold (or silver) in all these dirt, visit http://www.goldmoneyfuture.com]

About Shanoboy
I'd be flattered. That's a pretty cool figurine. Maybe Steve doesn't like it because it isn't Skeletor looking enough.
Rob is right. The Torrent route is TV heaven, and until someone is offering that up as a pay service, legally, I'll keep on seeding.
I will check out the Clicker site though.
Thanks for the heads Jaqenn. If they're all in HD, that may be incentive enough for me to buy Hulu premium!
I hope it was advertising, if only because if advertisements were more like this, I wouldn't mind watching them.
If Entrepreneur Magazine owns the word "Entrepreneur" and no one else could really use it, wouldn't that essentially make the word worthless?
Good luck with that one guys!
Personally, I think it would be hard to deal with these kind of issues just as Iwata states. The issue you pointed out, where nintendo shut down a fan-made film based on the Legend of Zelda might have been necessary.
If the film were going to start actually turning a profit for the creator then they kind of crossed the line where they're profiting off someone else's intellectual property.
When you have to deal with things like this, it mentally makes downloading movies illegally that much more legitimate in the typical persons mind.
The movie distributors sure are doing a good job of making themselves look like assholes.
Sigh... I wish I was rich enough to send my kid to a private school that maybe doesn't have to deal with all this Zero Tolerance BS.
It's a pretty good movie and I'm pretty sure I saw a near DVD quality rip of it on a bittorrent tracker a few weeks ago.
I agree with CC's line of thought.
You can't expect to take a company's intellectual property, make a movie around it then cash in on it in theaters. I really can't blame Nintendo for stopping it once it hit theaters.
Now as for stopping its free distribution online, that's halfway dumb unless of course, they're making boatloads of cash off of it somehow.
I wonder about this all the time. I log into Gmail with an encrypted connection (https). So if I send personal email from here, I'd hope that its off limits and they can't see it, but on the other hand... is it really?
If IT take a screen capture or grabs some key strokes from a personal email, I guess its technically not off limits.
I wish my wife had a pot belly like that...
Ah yes, another reason for me to never, ever, ever listen to radio again. My free podcasts and $15 a month Zune pass are all I will ever need.
Eh, I remember not too long ago in the mid 90's when techno music was all the rage. I honestly couldn't tell the difference in mainstream vs independent in that sense.
It might not be that hard to find decent sounding hip hop dribble that was released independently.
Actually, simply calling someone a douche or any other dirty name isn't really grounds for libel (from what I gather from watching Penn & Teller's Bullshit).
Saying untrue things about someone or making accusations that would hurt their reputation on the other hand is.
Best bet is to say what you want, but never name or picture the person you're ranting about. If they happen to "know" who you're talking about then great!
I have to say, I almost agree! In fact, I'd give up my computer before I gave up my broadband!
It's really awesome he put it out there like so, but the movie is too long to watch off youtube (for me anyway).
If you're going to release it, go all the way and throw a torrent out there.
Don't we already do this in the US?
I'm kidding! Only for the terrorists!
All my favorite bit torrent trackers are in Europe!

On seven points in the boundary of a plane convex body in large relative distances
Zsolt LángiDepartment of Calculus, College of Dunaújváros, Dunaújváros, H-2400, Hungary, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Abstract: By the relative distance of points $p$ and $q$ of a convex body $C$ we mean the ratio of the Euclidean length of the segment $pq$ to the half of the Euclidean length of a longest chord of C parallel to $pq$. We show that in the boundary of every plane convex body there exist seven points in pairwise relative distances at least $2 \over 3$ such that the relative distances of every two successive points are equal. Here the value $2 \over 3$ is the best possible one. We also give an estimate in case of three points.
Keywords: convex body, relative distance, packing
Classification (MSC2000): 52A40, 52A38, 52A10

here is another funny response,but in reality its something that all of us that own 69 camaros should be concerned about. there will soon be more 69 convertables out there than gm made with the repop convertable bodys that are being reproduced and soon they will be selling the coupes. well its a topic that has me wondering will it make our real 69 camaros worth more or less? something to ponder now that they are repoping phonie camaro bodys now.maybe we should get a number of real 69 camaros before the fake ones or clones take over

Fire Science B.S.
In this section
To the civilian, fighting fires means turning the hose on them. But vanquishing the raging beast that is a fire involves much more than that. It takes considerable strategy, expert technique, an understanding of the science that governs it, plus a firm handle on how to prevent the beast from roaring forth in the first place. Battling fire is a science, requiring a special breed of soldier — compassionate, fast thinking, calm under pressure, and of great physical stamina. If you are that soldier, you can do no better than to get your degree at the University of New Haven, home of one of the largest, most comprehensive fire programs in the country.
Identify your career path
There are many career paths you can take with a degree in fire science. Our programs prepare students for a number of positions in the fields of fire prevention, fire engineering, fire suppression, and more in both the public and private sectors. Here are a few you can aspire to:
- Fire Investigation. An analysis of fire investigations from the viewpoint of the field investigator. An in-depth study of determining the cause and origin of fires. Proper protection and collection of evidence is also covered.
- Fire Service Personnel. You'll be a member of a fire department, providing fire suppression, emergency medical services, fire prevention, and life safety education services.
- Fire Protection Engineering. As a fire protection engineer, you'll identify risks and design safeguards that help prevent, control, and mitigate the effects of fires. Architects collaborate with FPEs in evaluating a building's life safety and property protection goals. You may also act as a fire investigator — FPEs helped analyze the collapse of the World Trade Center, for example. NASA also uses fire protection engineers.
- Fire Protection Technology. Apply science and engineering principles to protect people and their environments from the destructive effects of fire and smoke. If you already have an engineering degree, this degree will add another skill set to offer employers.
- Code Development and Evaluation. Research current trends in fire losses and craft codes and standards to reduce future losses for private and not-for-profit organizations.
- Loss Prevention. Usually a private-sector position, this career involves investigating losses for an insurance company in an effort to reduce future losses. You'll identify potential hazards in the workplace and correct them before an accident or loss occurs.
- Forest Fire Inspector and Prevention Specialist. Patrol our forests and parks to ensure that travelers and campers comply with fire regulations. When fires break out, crews of firefighters come in to fight the blaze. You'll need specialized training in the Incident Management System for this career.
- Industrial Fire Protection. You would be an employee of an industrial, institutional, or commercial enterprise who is actively engaged in formulating or implementing policies and procedures for fire protection, fire prevention, and employee safety education.
Practice in state-of-the-art facilities
You'll test your knowledge and skills in laboratory experiences that are dress rehearsals for real-world events. Our cutting-edge facilities include:
- A new state-of-the-art fire/arson investigation lab. One of the few arson investigation labs on a college campus in the country, it comprises three arson investigation rooms that produce live fires to investigate.
- Fire alarm/detection lab. Featuring the latest technology in alarm systems used throughout the fire protection industry, it will give you hands-on experience with today's continually changing software and alarm panels.
- Automatic sprinkler lab. This lab allows you, the student, to actually experience the types of systems and the various sprinkler heads used in the industry.
- Fire dynamics lab. Modern fires can involve a plethora of chemicals. In this lab you will not only talk about flash and fire points but experiment with them.
Field trips and internships will add more depth and immediacy to the hands-on learning you acquire on campus. Many local combination and/or volunteer fire departments in the area allow the University of New Haven students to enroll in their department and serve as volunteer firefighters.
Learn from faculty who are battle-tested
All of our faculty members have seen action in the field and are either current or former chief officers within a fire department. Together, they represent a combined history of over 150 years of service in the field of fire protection. Each instructor brings to the classroom a wealth of experience in a specific area.
Our adjunct instructors who are professionals — fire protection engineers, fire marshals, fire chiefs, and federal and state investigators in the public and private sectors — interact with firefighters on a daily basis. This gives them the inside track on the latest in modern fire safety and engineering technology, which they then pass on to you.
Choose your desired concentration
This is the time to get your degree in fire science, as the demand for professionals in the field has never been greater. The United States still ranks among those countries that suffer the highest degrees of destruction to life and property from fire. Arson- and fraud-related fire problems continue to rise at an alarming rate.
We offer you a choice of concentrations so that you can specialize in the area that interests you most:
Whichever concentration you choose, you'll learn in exceptional facilities and have the kinds of opportunities you won't find at most other universities. Your hands-on experience will cover a lot of territory — in the class, in our top-notch labs, and out in the field.

WASHINGTON, DC -- The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports launched a new national fitness test for adults this week.
The adult fitness test is for people 18 and older who are in good health. The test involves a one-mile walk or a 1.5-mile run to test aerobic fitness, sit-ups or push-ups to test muscular strength and endurance, a sit-and-reach test to measure flexibility, and a body mass index test to assess body composition.
The run is not recommended for those who do not run for at least 20 minutes, three times a week. Push-ups are done until failure; sit-ups are done for one minute.
The online self-test is available at www.adultfitnesstest.org.
"The adult fitness test has been adopted from the youth fitness test many of us remember taking in school," says Melissa Johnson, executive director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. "Now, adults have a test to measure their overall fitness and guide them toward a healthier, more active life."

ReleasesBack to
Dexter Gordon
Although tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon had moved to Europe in 1962, he made a return visit to the U.S. in 1965 that resulted in both this album and Gettin' Around. Gordon teams up with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Barry Harris, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Billy Higgins for three of his originals, two obscurities, and a standard that ended up being the date's most memorable performance: "I'm a Fool to Want You." The CD reissue is a reproduction of the original LP which was not issued until the mid-'70s. It is excellent music if not quite essential. ~ Scott Yanow
