SHU cruises past league foe Aquinas, 80-49
The Siena Heights University women's basketball team picked up its first home win of the season, knocking off Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference opponent Aquinas 80-49 on Saturday afternoon. It was also Siena's first conference win of the season.
"It feels good to get this win," said Siena Heights coach Sue Syljebeck. "Aquinas is always a great program. They're currently down their two best players, including their star point guard. We capitalized on those weaknesses and came out strong."
Siena Heights (2-1, 1-1 WHAC) jumped out to an early 11-2 lead. Siena was moving the ball well on offense, and its full court press was stifling Aquinas' freshman point guard.
Siena had no issues controlling the pace of the game, often driving the ball to the basket and drawing fouls. With eight minutes left in the first half, Siena was already in the bonus. Siena Heights made the most of its opportunities, finishing 19-for-20 from the foul line.
Aquinas struggled to penetrate the Siena defense, often unable to get near the basket and settling for 3-point attempts. While Aquinas did make a few of its 3-pointers, going 7-for-23 in the game, they were few and far between. Siena's steady offense allow them to pull away, taking a 38-18 lead with a minute left in the half.
Aquinas finished the half on a 7-0 run and went into halftime with some momentum. For the first time since the opening tip, Aquinas players were smiling.
Siena would have none of it.
Siena opened the half with a 9-0 run, which quickly became a 16-2 run. The sudden barrage of points from Siena put the game out of reach.
"I told the girls that a good team wouldn't let them back to into the game," said Syljebeck. "We wanted to come out of the half and put them away, get rid of any hopes they had of making a comeback."
Siena Heights senior forward Amanda Duke helped propel the team forward, recording her second double-double in as many games. Duke finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
"We came out pumped," said Duke. "We knew we had to come out hard or risk letting them back in the game."
Having rebuilt their 20-point lead, Siena began to focus on getting some of their younger players some playing time.
Even with younger, less experienced players on the court, Siena still continued to expand their lead. With less than four minutes left in the game, Siena held a 74-44 lead.
Siena's Morgan Warfield continued to tear it up in the second half, recording three of her five 3-pointers. Warfield led the team with 15 points and added two steals.
"It feels good to win," said Warfield. "We have more to prove than just this game,though."
Chandler Levit finished with 14 points and four rebounds, and Sierra Calhoun had 12 points, four rebounds and four blocks. Jen Jasinski finished with 11 points and four rebound for Siena, while Grace Howrigon added eight points, four rebounds, nine assists and two steals.
Siena Heights will host Adrian College on Tuesday in a battle of cross-town rivals.

how do you adjust the trigger pull on the gun and what is the maintnece with the lpr
Three set screws in the trigger itself. All accessible from outside the marker.Originally Posted by UDO
The ANS reg will be fine with just a few drops of oil in the ASA every once in a while. Basically the same as the Mag valve.
so.... um... when do i get to beta test the frame!!! lol
Come to the AO Missouri day and you can play a game or two with it.Originally Posted by RTspag
I'll have it there with me, as well as a Classic with my new Mech frame.
And my FreeFlow (which no one but me uses), and my Viking, and various and sundry pumps, and maybe even a slingshot.
i got dibs on the slingshot
You know, I actually went and dug mine out from eons ago, but the damned rubber tubes were rotten, so the thing kind blew up in my face when I went to do a test fire.Originally Posted by RTspag
Alas, no slingshot this time.
I think the coolness of the ElectroMag ( ) and the super comfy new Mech Mag will overcome any sorrow that folks may feel about the demise of the slingshot.
i own a emag. i have it set up with a rear stock, i am a scenario player, the one special ops sells on the long bow, what would it cost me to have you install it to the emag rail.i also have a smart parts lpr in black.thank you verry much
I'd imagine you'd simply buy the frame for $425 since you already have the lpr. If you want him to install it along with eyes, eye covers, and ULE milling on your rail, it would be an extra $125. So, with your own SP lpr, it would come to $550. You could probably get around $300 on the classifieds section for your Emag lowers sans rail if you have 3.2 software. So, you'd be able to swap this frame in for a gross total of about $250.
I am not Coolhand, just giving an estimate. Am I right Ryan?
If we wanted to get the minimaxflo option....would we have a choice in picking out a color or will there be a standard color (black)?
Warbeak pretty much nailed it.Originally Posted by yogi
The stock has no effect on the price of the kit. If it will fit your EMag rail now, it should fit it after it is machined as well. Last I saw, the longbow kit mounted off the back sight rail holes, if that is still the case, you will want to keep your rail and let me machine it, instead of popping for a new one (as I only provide AGD slugs which have no holes in them at all).
You should be able to bolt it on yourself.
B&R - Go check the order page, I've updated it to reflect the options now offered.
How many have been ordered so far?
Ten.Originally Posted by 11 Bravo
Does this frame only work with the X-valve or can it also work with stock automags. I know it doesn't work with bodys with twist lock barrels but are there bodys that have powerfeeds that aren't twist lock?
The only powerfeed bodies there are, also take twist lock barrels, so they are out.Originally Posted by frogoa
I have not tested this frame using a classic valve, since they start to shoot down at @16bps, but I can if you think you'd like to run one I'll give it a look. You just won't be able to use the frame to its fullest.
So how light can the trigger be adjusted? What about pull length?
Did you read the first post? This is an electronic frame, IE the only weight that has to be there trigger pull wise is the microswitch, which takes 25 grams of force to actuate (The ULT takes 15ozs of force, or 425 grams of force to actuate). You can adjust the magnetic trigger return force to suit your taste, from totally slack to snappy and crisp, all from the outside of the frame.Originally Posted by splat15k
Pull length, once again, is the same situation as the pull weight. The only length that has to be there is the ~0.020" that the microswitch needs to move to actually be actuated. The trigger is totally adjustable though, so you can make the pull as long or short as you like, once again, all from outside the frame.
can it go full auto or 3 shot burst

I'll sell you a kit without any electronics for $350, but I will not warranty it at all. If you're OK with that, so am I. (And it's not like I won't know which one I didn't assemble ).Originally Posted by mr.mag218
Add $45 if you want me to drill the body for eyes (though if you've already machined the rail, it begs the question ---> Why can't you drill the body yourself?).
How Much Would It Cost If I Already Have Xvalve And Ule Body But Want Eyes And All The Other Goodies

That just leaves ano and boards standing in the way of assembly and shipment to a grateful world.

At any rate, hopefully World Cup goes well for TAG and they have my boards for me when they said they would.
Wouldn't that be wonderful? A project that is actually running on schedule.
I was begining to wonder if such a thing were even possible.

Very true, and I thank you for that.
I was blessed to find out on the Feast of the Presentation that Baby Weakland #4 is on the way.
I am new here and we have 7 children. All bio, all homeschooled and the last few birthed at home. We were I guess prot "quiverful's" for a while, but not in their definition. Now we are just weird O's.
Miscarriages are so hard to bear-I've had 2. We have 4 children so far and we're expecting #5 on Feb 2. They are boy-15, boy-7, boy-6, girl-16mo, and we're hoping for another girl this time.
I have a 3 year old son who doesn't live with me and the story is very, very, very, very, very, long and sad ....
I would love to hear it if you feel like sharing.
I don't plan on having any for quite some time.
My wife gave birth to our first son Nicholas 3 weeks ago.
And welcome, Ironsideroger!

Downtown Louisville will be taken over Saturday by the Taste of Louisville, Louispalooza and the Louisville Farmers Market, but the weekend doesn't truly get moving until Sunday.
The Sonic Boom criterium cycling races are set to speed through Louisville's historic streets all day Sunday for the fourth straight year. This is the first year, however, that the races are scheduled on the heels of the city's biggest annual event.
"We've never done that before, but I think it will be fun to have (the Taste of Louisville 12K and 5K running races and Sonic Boom) races back to back days on the same streets," Louisville Chamber of Commerce executive director Shelley Angell said. "It should be an exciting weekend."
Sonic Boom race organizers promise to clear the streets of spilled ice cream and beer, and any other remnants of Saturday's Taste of Louisville, before the skinny tires hit the pavement Sunday.
"Taste of Louisville always does a great job of cleanup afterward, but we've got a street sweeper set to clean the streets and we'll be out there at 5 a.m. on race day to clear and set up the course," said Andy Johnson, Sonic Boom race director. "It's going to be fun to follow the Taste of Louisville. It's a great way to kick off the summer."
A total of 14 criterium races — timed races on a 1K loop — will spin through downtown from 7:45 a.m. to 6:10 p.m., concluding with the Pro Men's race.
With downtown Louisville's summer patios lining Main Street and hundreds of spectators perched on the curbs, the streets are narrow and the turns tighter than normal.
"The turns are half as open as they normally would be, and that scares away some racers," Johnson said. "It's very tight, very technical and it requires a great deal of skill from the racers."
Johnson said the event is reminiscent of the Palio di Siena horse race in Italy, where once a year the city of Siena opens its confined, historic streets to horses and jockeys.
"We don't get to do this in downtown settings very often," Johnson said. "Usually criterium races are pushed into business parks or other outlying areas. On the Colorado cycling calendar, I think this is the only one that uses a city's main streets. It makes for an incredible spectator experience."
The races start and finish on Main Street, in the heart of downtown Louisville.
"You can sit right there on the patios with a beer or glass of wine and watch the cyclists go by at speeds upwards of 30 miles per hour on the finish sprint," Johnson said. "That's unique."
Racers will have more on the line than just bragging rights Sunday. The race serves as the Colorado Master Criterium Championships.
But the event isn't solely focused on competition, either.
A beginning women's bike racing clinic will take place prior to one of the women's races. Elevation Cycles of Boulder will host bike clinics every hour on the hour, beginning at 10 a.m., covering everything from flat tire and chain fixes to necessary tools and ride preparedness.
An emerging highlight of the Sonic Boom race day has become the free kids race at 12:45 p.m. With a short course for riders 5 and younger, and a full race loop open to aspiring racers ages 6 to 9, Johnson said the kids race is designed to be a first step into bike racing.
"It's just to introduce them to the concept of bike racing," he said. "And at the end they all get ice cream and ribbons and a Lucky Pie musette bag."
This year's race also was chosen to be a People for Bikes event. The organization will be on hand to raise awareness about cycling as a way of life.
Fifty-five racers strong, Sonic Boom Racing is the only competitive cycling team based in Louisville.

A&T you can choose from 13 different halls including traditional rooms, suites, and two or four bedroom apartments. Currently, more than 4,000 students take advantage of the convenience and community of campus life.
Innovative, Creative and Dedicated
N.C. A&T is the nation's No. 1 producer of minorities with degrees in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. Aggieland is the third largest producer of African-American engineers with master's degrees and it is a leading producer of African-American engineers with doctorate degrees. Females comprise approximately 30 percent of the students in the College of Engineering, thus ranking the college sixth in the country in the percentage of degrees awarded to women.
N.C. A&T is one of only two schools in North Carolina with an accredited mass communication and journalism program. N.C. A&T had the first nationally accredited accounting program in the country among HBCUs. N.C. A&T was reaffirmed for accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) for another 10 years. N.C. A&T is ranked among the top three HBCUs in the nation for science and engineering research. More than 95 percent of N.C. A&T's full-time tenured faculty have doctorates.

N.C. A&T is also a leading producer of minority landscape architects and veterinarians. N.C. A&T's motorsports program races internationally.
The School of Business and Economics holds the distinction of being the nation's only HBCU with its own Wall Street trading room.
On Feb. 1, 1960 four black freshmen at North Carolina A&T State University, Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, Ezell Blair, Jr. (Jibreel Khazan), and David Richmond took seats at the segregated lunch counter of F. W. Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C. They were refused service and sat peacefully until the store closed. They returned the next day, along with about 25 other students, and their requests were again denied. The Greensboro Four inspired similar sit-ins across the state and by the end of February, such protests were taking place across the South.
Finally in July, Woolworth's integrated all of its stores. The original Woolworth's counter and stools now sit in the Smithsonian Museum, but a Sit-In Museum is being planned for the old Woolworth's building where the event actually occurred. The four have become icons of the civil rights movement. A statue of the four sits prominently in front of the Dudley Building on the West Campus.
North Carolina A&T's Homecoming celebration is one of Greensboro's largest tourist attractions. Thousands of Aggies participate in the elaborate parade, football game and activities totaling millions of dollars in revenue for the city. More than 40 events are normally planned throughout the week. Homecoming lives up to its reputation consistently. Each year the gameday crowd ranks among the most highly attended games nationally in the Division I Football Championship Series. The Aggies annual Homecoming comedy show and concert attracts some of the most popular names in entertainment.

Believers around the world marked Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week leading up to Easter. For Christians, this week marks the final days of Lent; for Jews, it marks the beginning of Passover.
Palm Sunday: Christians remember Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem in the days before he was arrested and crucified. Crowds gathered to place palm branches beneath his feet. Many Christian churches bless palm leaves, celebrate a procession and reflect on the passion of Jesus.
Holy/Maundy Thursday: Traditionally commemorates the Last Supper and the gift of Holy Communion. The Catholic Church also considers it the day that Jesus instituted the priesthood.
Good Friday: Churches pray the stations of the cross and reflect on the crucifixion. For Catholics, Good Friday is a day of fasting (one full meal and two smaller ones to preserve strength for ages 18 to 59) and abstinence (no meat for ages 14 and older). The Greek Orthodox call it Great Friday and observe strict rules on fasting.
Passover: Commemorates the story of the Exodus, when Jewish slaves were freed from Egypt. Begins at sundown Monday and officially ends with nightfall Tuesday, April 22.
Easter: The holiest day of the Christian calender marks the resurrection of Jesus. Every few years, "Western" and Greek Orthodox Easter coincide — this is one of them.

"Dude your getting a Mag"
getting lvl 10 tomorrow!!
"To serve to strive and not to yield"
I had heard a while back that since the mag back actually goes into the breech area you need to get the next size up from what you are used to getting to get the same size..i.e. you like a 14" mag barrel you need a 16" freak...does anyone know if this is true or not..I'm looking at getting a freak from Donggie and i wanted to make sure to order the right one...
It's the opposite. A 10" tip actually translates into a 11" barrel and so and so forth...

noo noo noo , i have a 14 inch one my classic with elcd and 2 inchs of it inside , its sticks out 12 inchs from the gun and i know for sure that this information is correct and i know for sure the my barrel is a 14er.
Well...does anyone have a normal mag barrel to compare to their freak so that we can find out the truth? I'm not going to spend upwards of 200 bucks and not be sure...

Thats right! its the opposite. Get one size smaller. But the Mag freak is 1.5 inches longer than you would think. So a 10 inch tip is like 11.5 but thats about right what Covads says.Originally posted by covadsucks

10 in freak and SS back. I used to use a polished aluminum but the SS was a little less boring.
ok , i was not under standing what was being said earlier but what i said is correct, my 14 inch freak actually sticks out 12 inches from the gun , but a freak is 1.5 inchs longer than other mag barrels . So if you like a 12 inch on a spyder you need a 14 inch on a mag but if you have an AA barrel now and its 14 you need a freak that is 1.5 inches shorter for it to be the same length from the gun. this should help you decide what length freak you want.

Dear Editor:
Here's a problem.
What do we do with the garden basement apartments that were flooded by Hurricane Sandy here in Hoboken and surrounding cities?
How's this for a solution?
Form a public/private partnership with property owners, pertinent governmental and business entities to purchase these ground floor spaces and turn them into new urban public open and garden spaces. As an example, Green Acre Lands could be used for this purpose.
With these proceeds, the property owners could then build another floor on top of their building and relocate the displaced resident to that newly build floor. This should be a green project. However, those who choose not to move must retrofit their apartment with water tile materials, thereby reducing the public clean up costs from future intense storms.
As a result, urban communities would not have their neighborhoods dramatically disturbed.
Businesses could thrive around new opportunities. Engineers and architects would be challenged to devise structurally sound buildings with interestingly safe designs.
Horticulturists and environmental groups could innovatively explore new garden approaches. Maybe even urban farmers would grow crops there. Just think of it; we could truly be eating locally grown vegetables. Also, this newly exposed ground could absorb excess water.
Artists would be inspired by the beauty of these public urban gardens. So many new jobs will be created.
Certainly much has to be done regarding the process and details. Our flood and sea rising problem is big but we, as Americans, can meet the challenge.
I'm reminded that the Chinese word for 'problem' is a combination of two other words, opportunity and change.
I live in the shades of Weehawken one block and feet from Hoboken, I have been inspired by a Monroe Center artist, Francine D., whose art shows the reconnections of nature in cities.
Hurricane Sandy destroyed my home. Although unfinished, I'm back into it, but still am not protected at all from a future intense storm just as Hoboken and its surrounding cities.
Thank you for reading this letter. I look forward to your suggestions and responses.
Susan O'Kane

Ozzie Newsome learned about building championship teams when he was playing on them at the University of Alabama. Newsome played on three Southeastern Conference championship teams with the Crimson Tide in the 1970s, with Alabama going 42-6 during his four-year career and finishing in the top five in the final polls three times, and never lower than 11th.
Ozzie Newsome learned about building championship teams when he was playing on them at the University of Alabama.
Newsome played on three Southeastern Conference championship teams with the Crimson Tide in the 1970s, with Alabama going 42-6 during his four-year career and finishing in the top five in the final polls three times, and never lower than 11th.
When building the Baltimore Ravens as general manager of the National Football League franchise, the 59-year-old Muscle Shoals native had only to remember the formula Alabama used in his playing days. Newsome is the architect of the Ravens' roster that will contend for the Super Bowl XLVII championship today in New Orleans.
Newsome knew what a winner looked like by the time he graduated from UA. He knew the best football teams are built from the inside out, starting in the trenches.
"The reason why we were able to win all the games that we won and contend for SEC championships and national championships, the line of scrimmage is always huge," Newsome said. "When you are able to control the offensive line of scrimmage and the defensive line of scrimmage, you have a chance.
"Then you have to have the skill players, because no matter how good you're coaching it's still going to come down to someone being able to make a play."
A college and pro football hall of fame member who twice garnered All-America honors with the Crimson Tide, Newsome has now built two Baltimore teams into Super Bowl participants. As vice president of player personnel, he built the Ravens into Super Bowl XXXV champions.
"It's a hard thing to do," he said. "We did it in 2000 and we won it, and we're back again."
Newsome obviously has an eye for talent, but he also has a system. He played for the Cleveland Browns from 1978-1990, and began his off-the-field career as a scout a year later with the Browns. Cleveland's defensive coordinator was Nick Saban, now Alabama's head coach, and Newsome sees the same system he has used to build the Ravens at work at UA.
"We have a height/weight/speed chart, and I think Nick uses the same chart we use," Newsome said. "We had the same chart when we were at Cleveland."
That chart gives the ideal range for players at each position, but there is more to the evaluation process.
"Then you have your position specifics: a cornerback has to be able to play the ball in the air, for instance," Newsome said.
But there is still more.
"You look at character," he said. "You have to respect the game and the people."
A look at the Ravens' starters tells a lot about Newsome's formula for building a successful team. Linebacker Ray Lewis, who is expected to retire after today's game, is the only holdover in the starting lineup from Newsome's first Super Bowl team. The roster has been rebuilt through the draft, through trades and through free agent pick-ups.
Newsome's talent for evaluating draftees is immediately apparent. Starters like wideout Torrey Smith, guard Kelechi Osemele, tackle Michael Oher, tight end Ed Dickson, quarterback Joe Flacco, running back Ray Rice, defensive lineman Haloti Ngata, safety Ed Reed and linebackers Terrell Suggs and Courtney Upshaw were all targeted as first- and
second-round selections, and all have risen to prominence within the Ravens system.
Newsome has also traded for wideout Anquan Bolden and picked up free agents like center Matt Birk, cornerback Corey Graham and safety Bernard Pollard. Nose tackle Ma'ake Kemoeatu and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe were undrafted, scouted and signed by Baltimore as free agents who made the roster — Newsome brought Kemoeatu into the league as an undrafted player in 2000, then brought him back this season after he spent four seasons on other teams.
It is clear that Newsome, even though he came from a powerhouse college program, will take talent from any level: Flacco played in college at Delaware, center Birk at Harvard and cornerbacks Corey Graham and Cary Williams at New Hampshire and Washburn College, respectively.
"You have to make good choices," Newsome said. "We have a process in place with the way we go about drafting. We have been successful. If a guy is on our board, we believe he can be a contributor."
And, of course, Baltimore has two Alabama players on its roster in linebacker Upshaw and second-string nose tackle Terrence Cody, also a second-round draft pick.
"He was a dominant player in the run game," Newsome said of Cody, taken in the 2010 draft. "No. 1, a player at some point has to win individual battles. You look at the film (from Cody's two years at UA) and you see when it came time for him to control the center or the guard or take on the double-team, he was able to do that."
Newsome saw first-round value in Upshaw, but traded its first-round pick last spring to Minnesota to drop from the 29th overall selection to 35th, the third pick in the second round. Upshaw was still on the board, and the Ravens grabbed him. With the trade came a fourth-round pick, which Newsome used to grab backup center Gino Gradkowski, another Delaware product, who Newsome believes will start next season.
"We had value on (Upshaw)," Newsome said. "We could have picked him in the first round, but there was a trade on the table to drop back and get an extra player.
"With Courtney, we were able to get a guy who could really set the edge on defense. He stops the run, he rushes the passer and he drops back in coverage. That's what he did at Alabama."
Newsome, of course, likes Alabama players, but not just because they come from his alma mater.
"They have good football IQ and readiness," he said. "The other thing is their work ethic. They are very good team players. They understand team and they understand commitment."
Sylvester Croom, running backs coach with the Tennessee Titans, is a UA contemporary of Newsome's who has followed his NFL front-office career. He sees a common thread among his former teammate's talent acquisitions.
"I don't know if this is his philosophy or not, but I look at his roster every year, and he picks guys who are big, strong, fast, physical, and know how to win, regardless of where they come from," Croom said. "Guys committed to winning championships. If that's not the No.1 thing on their priority list, I don't think he wants them to be part of their program."
If Newsome had it his way, he would have also been able to draft linebacker Dont'a Hightower (who went to the New England Patriots) and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (who went to the Cincinnati Bengals) out of UA last year.
"We can't get them all," he said.
Newsome would also prefer to have yet another UA graduate on the roster. Baltimore let outside linebacker Jarret Johnson sign as a free agent with the San Diego Chargers after nine years with the Ravens franchise.
"We had to let Jarret Johnson go," Newsome said. "We knew he was a good player, but we have a salary cap that we have to stay within."
If Newsome is comfortable with Alabama players, there is another reason. He's one of those recruiting fanatics.
"I bleed crimson and white," he said. "I know who these guys are when they sign with Alabama. By the time they get to the draft, I have a history with them going back to high school."
Croom believes his impact in building championship teams exceeds Newsome's considerable impact on the playing field.
"I've told Ozzie this, and I said it jokingly, but I think it's true, we all know he was a great player and a Hall of Famer as a player," Croom said. "But I think he's a better general manager than he was a player. And that's saying a lot. Since he's been GM, it's easier to count the number of years they haven't been to the playoffs (than years they have). They were a game away from being in the (Super Bowl) last year.
"I talk to him after the draft because usually he's drafted somebody I was hoping to get at whatever team I was at. To draft players and evaluate talent, then also add in free agency, which is a tricky deal, they work out for him. He knows how to build a roster. The other thing people don't realize, is Ozzie has a lot to do with building the coaching staff. He's done a tremendous job of adding pieces on that coaching staff as well. I just don't see any holes in anything that he's done."
Newsome's passion for Alabama comes out in any conversation. Many have expressed a desire to see him one day return to UA as athletics director. Newsome realizes the clock is running on that proposition.
"That question is asked to me a lot," he said. "I have a great job here, an unbelievable job. When I do retire from here, I may play golf and tailgate."
Being an Alabama fan is fun for Newsome.
"I've been to three national championship games," he said, "because it fit into my schedule. I enjoy it.
"On some Saturdays, I'm so worn out from watching Alabama games that I have to recharge because we have a Ravens game on Sunday. I get so involved with it and expend so much energy."

AWENDAW, S.C. -- Freshman Mads Soegaard posted rounds of 73 and 69 Monday to grab a share of the tournament lead at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate. Soegaard's two-under 142 in challenging windy conditions helped pace Duke to 14-over 590 at the par 72, 7,363-yard Bulls Bay Golf Club.
"Good day for us out there today," said head coach Jamie Green. "I could not be more proud of each of these players. They battled and weathered the weather. It was an impressive display of golf in the afternoon."
Duke, 11th in the latest Golfstat rankings, sits in second place one shot behind leader No. 15 LSU. Missouri currently sits at 16-over with a handful of holes remaining in the second round. The Tigers along with Wake Forest, Auburn, South Carolina, Wisconsin and College of Charleston will conclude there second round Tuesday before heading into the final round.
N.C. State is fourth overall at 18-over and followed by North Carolina (+23), Texas A&M (+24), Wake Forest (+25), Auburn (+30), Clemson (+33) and South Carolina (+34).
Soegaard's three-under 69 is the low round of the tournament and moved him into a tie for first with Albin Choi (N.C. State). Andrew Presley (LSU) is one shot back with Mitchell Sutton (N.C. State) in fourth at even-par. Duke's Austin Cody is among a group of seven players tied for sixth at three-over.
"Mads has played in some rough weather in Europe so he was a little more comfortable than many of the guys out there," said Green. "He played very patiently and was smart from tee to green. He did make a few putts which was very difficult out there. He is sitting in good position and we are really pleased with how smart he is playing and how well and patient he has been."
Soegaard recorded seven birdies on the day and played his final 16 holes at four-under. He opened the tournament with eight pars and a birdie on the opening nine holes before playing the back nine at two-over for a 73. After a bogey-birdie-bogey start to the second round, Soegaard caught fire with birdies on No. 4, No. 7 and No. 8. Following eight straight pars, he added a birdie on the par 3 17th hole and closed with a par to enter Tuesday's final round tied for the tournament lead.
Cody played a steady opening round with one birdie, 15 pars and two bogeys en route to a one-over 73. His second round a more of uneven with four birdies, eight pars and six bogeys.
"I am very proud of Austin," said Green. "He would be the first to tell you he made a couple of mental errors out there but for 36 holes he really played some excellent golf."
Senior Brinson Paolini is tied for 20th with a six-over 150. The Virginia Beach, Va., native suffered back-to-back double-bogeys in the opening round and posted a seven-over 79. He responded in round two with a one-under 71 on the strength of five birdies, including three over a four holes stretch on the front nine.
Julian Suri, a senior from St. Augustine, Fla., registered rounds of 77 and 74 and is tied for 26th. After carding one birdie in the first round, Suri responded with five birdies over the final 11 holes in the second round. His play in the opening two rounds was hindered by pair of double-bogeys.
Senior Adam Sumrall is tied for 56th at 13-over. The South Bend, Ind., native struggled on the back nine of the opening round en route to an 82. He recovered to play the front nine of round two at three-under before again running into trouble on the back nine. Sumrall's day was hampered by five double-bogeys.
Live scoring for the final round of the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate is available at www.golfstat.com. Final round tee times will be determined following the completion of the second round Tuesday morning.

Desire2Learn, the online learning system used by the University of Colorado, is experiencing a second outage this spring, potentially affecting classes at hundreds of institutes worldwide.
The system, also known as D2L, is used by teachers at K through 12 as well as higher-education campuses to host online classes and is relied on by professors across campus who conduct tests and quizzes and post assignments there for students.
Several campuses, including CU-Boulder, also host online courses through D2L.
The system — which is also utilized by companies in the healthcare, government and corporate sectors — has more than 8 million learners, said Virginia Jamieson, D2L's senior director of corporate communications, in an email Thursday.
"We are experiencing significant challenges in one of our cloud data centers and that is dramatically impacting some students' online experience," Jamieson said. "This stems from the file virtualization hardware not interacting well with the storage environment.
The system experienced a similar outage in mid-January that lasted about a day, according to CU's Office of Information Technology. D2L has been down now for the second time since Tuesday around noon, leaving students and faculty without the valuable resources.
Greg Stauffer, spokesman for CU's Office of Information Technology, said it's likely that all of the institutions using the system through servers hosted by the Canadian-based company, which includes CU, would be experiencing a similar outage. Other schools who chose to host the system on their own servers may not have the same issues, he said.
Stauffer described the outage as a "blizzard" and "very disruptive."
Jamieson said the company was not releasing the number of institutions affected by the outage or how many schools are using the system through the company's servers.
"Not all of the institutions were affected," Jamieson said, noting that CEO John Baker has "rallied every available resource," to find a resolution.
"We are doing everything within our power to fix this problem and we understand the severe impact these service problems have on students, faculty members and administrators."
D2L did not release the cause of the outage but Stauffer said he was told by the company that it was due to an improvement upgrade being preformed by D2L that is supposed to improve the service.
Neither D2L or CU know when the system is expected to be functional again.
After two D2L outages in the first three weeks of spring classes, Stauffer said the university is considering several options for improvement, like moving the system to on-site servers, which would cost the school additional time and money.
"D2L is such a rich tool," Stauffer said. "It does so many different things and brings so many features and tools together. What we need to focus on now is how to provide that to people with a level of consistency required on this campus, which is clearly not happening this semester."
The university first adopted D2L in the fall of 2011 and became the campus's primary online learning system in the fall of 2012.
CU is holding feedback sessions this and next week, allowing students, faculty and staff to voice their frustrations about the outage, according to the Office of Information Technology website. The website, colorado.edu/oit, also includes service alerts to keep the community informed about any campus-wide technology outages, failures and fixes.
CU senior Wendy Guardado said her teachers have been finding other resources to keep coursework on track during the outage.
"One of my professors built a whole new website, basically overnight, for us to use since it wasn't working," Guardado said.
Stauffer said his office is posting links to alternative tools, like Google Sites and Google Drive, as part of their service alerts to help faculty and students cope with the outage.

|February 13, 2014 - February 15, 2014
|10:00 am
|Elsah, Ill.
Day One Recap: After the first full day of the 2014 Liberal Arts Championships, Luther is in first place from the field of 12 teams.

(RNN) - Divers have recovered a body near the site of an oil platform that caught fire on Friday, according to the Associated Press.
Houston-based Black Elk Energy, which owns the platform, hired the divers after the U.S. Coast Guard ceased their search on Saturday for two workers who went missing after the platform fire off the Louisiana coast, AP reported.
The body was found in about 30 feet of water near where the explosion happened. The name of the deceased has not been released pending notification of the next of kin.
Divers will continue to search for the second missing worker.
The Coast Guard suspended their search around 5:25 p.m. CST Saturday afternoon.
Before calling off the search, Coast Guard officials searched 1,400 square miles by air while cutters and boat crews searched the Gulf.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Safety and Environment Enforcement said they have begun an investigation into the explosion and subsequent fire.
"BSEE is committed to determining the direct and indirect causes of the explosion and will take appropriate enforcement action," the organization said in a statement released Saturday.
Officials reported on Friday that the platform fire had been extinguished, and that there was little chance of an oil spill.
Commander Ed Cubanski of Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans said in a Friday noon news conference there had been no confirmed deaths, refuting earlier reports of two who died.
Initially 11 people were taken by helicopter to a local hospital, four of which were severely burned.
There had been 26 workers onboard the platform, but four had left before the fire started around 8:42 a.m.
Cubanski also said there was an oil sheen about 1/2 mile long and 200 meters wide, but Coast Guard are working with the Bureau of Environmental Safety to ensure there is no ecological impact.
The rig appeared to be structurally sound and not a spill risk, he added.
The rig was not producing oil, but maintenance work was being done.
The facility is located in West Delta Block 32 - about 20 miles southeast of Grand Isle, LA - in 56-foot deep water.
Black Elk Energy out of Houston owns the platform. Kirk Trascher, Black Elk asset manager, initially told WAFB the company was assembling "an incident command team."
Black Elk has 854 oil wells on 155 platforms in waters off the coasts of Texas and Louisiana, according to the Chicago Tribune.
According to the Associated Press, it is a production platform, unlike the Deepwater Horizon rig, which was drilling an exploratory well in mile-deep water well to the east of Friday's reported explosion.
The difference between an oil rig and oil platform are technical. An oil rig drills holes into the ground through mobile equipment, so the raw materials can be extracted. The oil platform is the second step, where the raw materials are processed before being sent to shore.
The explosion came one day after BP agreed to pay the largest criminal fine in U.S. history for the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill.
BP announced Thursday it would pay $4.5 billion for the 2010 explosion off the Gulf Coast. Eleven workers were killed in the disaster, and two BP employees have been charged with manslaughter.
Deepwater Horizon spilled an estimated 4.9 million barrels – the equivalent of 210 million gallons – and covered an area of several thousand square miles. The estimate of oil spilled each day reached as high as 60,000 barrels.
It was the largest offshore oil spill in the nation's history.

A Commerce City woman knew — or should have known — that Evan Ebel was a felon who could not own firearms when she bought him a 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun this month, according to court documents released Thursday.
Although Stevie Marie Ann Vigil, 22, is charged with providing Ebel the gun that authorities say killed Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements, nothing about her set off red flags for employees at High Plains Arms in Englewood, where she bought the weapon. Court records show she bought the gun between March 6 and March 13.
"We have been made aware that High Plains Arms sold the weapon in question used in these crimes," shop owners said in a statement. Employees said Vigil passed a background check through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, which determined the sale was legal, the statement said.
Vigil has been charged with unlawful purchase of a firearm, a Class 4 felony. In orange jail scrubs, she made her first court appearance Thursday before Arapahoe County Judge Alex Bencze, who kept her bond at $25,000. Her attorney, Normando Pacheco, declined to comment.
Vigil's relatives were perplexed as to why she would buy the gun for Ebel, 28, a member of the 211 Crew prison gang who was released on mandatory parole Jan. 28. Investigators said Ebel also used the gun in a shootout with Texas sheriff's deputies on March 21 before one of them fatally wounded him. Ebel also has been linked to the March 17 killing of Domino's Pizza delivery driver Nathan Leon, 27, whose uniform investigators say Ebel used to disguise himself at Clements' front door. Denver police have not said what, if any, ballistics evidence they have tying him to the case.
A "straw gun purchase" on behalf of a felon seemed out of character for Vigil, who was in college studying nursing, said her aunt Francis Gurule. Vigil has no criminal history, according to CBI records.
"She's always been a good girl," said Gurule, who was "speechless" upon hearing the news. "I couldn't believe it."
But, Gurule said, she lost touch with her niece about a year ago. Relatives closer to Vigil, including her sister, said they didn't want to get wrapped up in the "drama" by talking about her case.
Neither CBI nor the El Paso County Sheriff's Office would discuss Vigil's relationship to Ebel, citing concerns about jeopardizing the ongoing criminal probe. Detectives were still trying to identify Ebel's associates and determine whether any were involved, El Paso County sheriff's Sgt. Joe Roybal said.

Montevideo Police Chief Adam Christopher took some time during the March 4 city council meeting to talk about his 2012 annual report.
Montevideo Police Chief Adam Christopher took some time during the March 4 city council meeting to talk about his 2012 annual report.
According to the annual report, there was only one hiring at the department, a part-time officer, and no one left the department.
The largest expenditure of the police department was for their vehicles, as one needs to be replaced yearly. Each vehicle covers around 30,000 miles a year, adding up to 118,000 miles in 2012 for the department.
In 2012, the police department impounded 96 vehicles.
"The primary reason is because of insurance," Christopher told the council.
He also cited DWIs and driving without a license as contributing to the number, but not nearly as much as insurance issues.
For the most part, the police department has moved to online auctions for impounded vehicles, a departure from the yearly auctions of years past.
"It's a lot easier," he said.
This method allows the department to sell the vehicles as they're able to be sold, instead of letting everything build up in the impound lot.
In 2012, there were 168 criminal arrests, 26 of which were juvenile arrests. There were 147 thefts, 64 assaults, 36 drug law violations, 12 burglaries, one murder, 13 sexual assaults, five sex offenses and zero robberies.
Christopher said that the police department received 5,654 calls for service, and that 90 serious complaints were filed with the court system.

Steve Tenney is a former resident of St. James and a long time friend of many residents still in St. James. Here is his tribute to the small town and the quirky traditions he shares with his friends.
St. James and its denizens hold fond memories for me. Many of the people stand out to me vividly by reason of their colorful and varied nicknames.
There was a Gronk, an Iffy, an Inky and a Sailor, Tubby and a Giggs, plus Slough Pumper. Some of these men have died or moved away from our hometown, but many remain. They all have two things in common---they were natives of St. James and all had labels different than their given names.
Some of their monikers haven't a thing to do with their God-given name such as Toupie, Lumpy, Big Al, Hog or Funk and others... like Banno, Bame, Weather Bear and Squid. Some of these infamous names are specific to a time or situation that is nearly impossible to decipher exactly how they ended up with it.
My name is Steve Tenney and I have visited a lot of communities in my 63 years. I moved to Charles City, Iowa almost 30 years ago because that's where I found gainful employment at the time. I have traveled extensively for my job but have never been in a community comparable to my hometown.
I'm not sure why so many people go by names other than the one their parents gave them, but I'm sure each has their own particular story. I believe it has to do with the era that we all grew up in, one where we were very well-acquainted with our neighbors and maybe the size of our town. I do know one thing, though, these men and their aliases make for some wonderful memories.
Having another handle such as Obie, Mole, CY or Hub was almost a requirement for a male growing up in St.James in the mid-twentieth century. It seems like it was part of a cycle of life in our small town. People are born, given nicknames as they grow and that moniker seems to stick with them until they die, even the obituaries refer to them by their pseudonyms i.e. Webb, or Tiny and many others no longer with us.
There is something special about St. James, it is a place where people feel comfortable using monikers such as Fruity, Wacky and Buckwheat.
Lets try one slightly more seemingly inappropriate, but fitting to the man, Maggot---not quite a nickname one would give himself but an endearing one anyway. Maggot fought in Vietnam and was as tough a man as tough could be.
Oh yes, we also have a couple of Pintails, a Cub and a Fox and if you were to ask for a Bob---good luck figuring out who that might be. But if you were to inquire about a Stub, Satch, Putt-Putt or Beans, all would know who you were talking about. Again it's not just the nicknames that make St. James unique; it's a place where people remain loyal and friends are forever. I can call Tom-Cat, Breezie, Odie or Hooker anytime and they know they can do the same---we will be friends to the very end.
Either way the nicknames usually fell into two categories: the straightforward Mac, Smokey, or Butch or, of course, there was the peculiar Stymie, Dobie and Cheetah.
Some labels are really the opposite of who the person is... They may be called Pope or Monk, Mort and even Doc and it has nothing to do with their occupations.
Now if you're Snow Ball or Skinny or Slim, it probably is obvious why they've been dubbed that appellation. Our town also had its fair share of Reds: there was Red-Z Red-M, 2 Red-Bs and Red-R. Oh yes, and I can't forget the Swedes, Dutch, Fritz or the Blackies, Whiteys, or even the Mick.
To have this many nicknames in one small area, well, that's just who we were and continue to be today.
St. James you will always be my home.
-Steve Tenney, aka "Mouse"

For those of us who remember the '80s, androgynous football player shoulder pads, Aladdin pants and exaggerated bang hairdos were only a few of the ugliest fashion statements ever. If you were cool enough, you were surrounded by pink stuff inside and outside your home. To-day's house is not unaffected by this period.
Stuck in a time warp with the arch over the front door, the four overpowering grandiose cylindrical round columns as well as the pink, grey and reddish brown bricks were in dire need of a trip into the present with the H.G. Wells time machine. Youthful and quiet sophistication was in order.
Visual clutter such as artificial flowers in the mailbox or various knick-knacks peeking through the windows and vertical blinds are small details that can negatively affect the curb appeal.
Trying to work miracles around the multicoloured surface was not going to be an option. Any other cosmetic improvements would only have been futile.
The roof is greenish grey and should last for a while. I suggest painting the bricks and mortar in a very neutral dark brown that's free of red pigmentation and has a matte finish. A good quality specialized paint is recommended. The vertical gutters should also be the same colour.
Before painting all the grey elements from the new de-sign, wash surfaces with TSP and rinse well with a water hose. This is a good way to in-sure a good adhesion with the new matte exterior acrylic paint. A slight green under-tone is welcomed in the grey tint so that it harmonizes with the existing roof.
A big mistake homeowners make is to install double doors that don't match. Even if one of these is permanently shut, they should be treated as twins. To bring this residence into present time, I propose a couple of sleek and contemporary glass panel doorways. Over these, the sides of the outmoded arch will be sawed and removed. Starting from the bottom and secured one over the other at an angle, the revealed area will receive a series of wide wooden planks. In the end, it should look like a large horizontal blind. The four massive tubular columns ought to be replaced by two simple but strong square ones that would contribute to the up-to-date feel. On the face of the overhang, a triangular detail is installed for added relief. A simple and larger glass and silver light fixture will scale-up the end result.
A generous second path-way will pull together the property and make the new space look richer and more inviting. Consequently, the existing flower beds will capitulate for an introduction of a minimalist impression with streamlines of vegetation and fewer colours. Between the two bedroom windows will be a nice set-ting for our feature wall. This space will exhibit an interesting weeping pine. These trees have ornamental value as they look sculptural with their unusual shapes and their long bluish needles. They differ from one to the other. Some are wider and others longer and leaner. The two last qualities are the ones we're looking for in a specimen at a nursery. On each side of the new walkway, several Berberis with their yellow foliage in spring that will later on alter to lime green, then red in fall with the same colour berries will become a sure invitation for birds.
The pink home is now only a memory. Welcome to the 21st century.
Vegetation (from left to right):
- Owner's shrub
- Artemisia stelleriana Silver Brocade (perennials, silver, border)
- Berberis Aurea Nana (shrubs, hedge pathway, yellow to lime to red)
- Pinus strobus Pendula (tree, conifer, bluish, feature wall)
- Taxus Hicksii (evergreen bush, right corner)
Most homes can use a little help when it comes to warming up their curb appeal.

A celebration of the Chinese New Year and a concert featuring an original member of the Parliament-Funkadelic band are two of five events you should consider checking out this weekend.
1. Chris Bruni at Kennett Flash
You'll get Stevie Wonder, Martin Sexton and David Gray all wrapped into one when singer-songwriter Chris Bruni hits the Kennett Flash's stage Friday night. However, Bruni's concert will only cost you a fraction of what it would to see the respected performers his music reflects.
Songs from Bruni's latest album, "I've Been Here," released in 2009, clearly show the artist exploring a darker side of himself, as well as touching on topics that aren't completely personal.
"I've Been Here" remains true to the accessible nature that Bruni, of Chadds Ford, Pa., carries with him in his music and his personal life. His mix of folk, pop, and soul on the project makes it easily accessible to new listeners from any age group or social status. Bruni's storytelling and unique vocals shine through on a level that's hard not to be impressed with.

2. 'Escanaba in da Moonlight' is worth the trip
When you're a man living in upstate Michigan, whose last name happens to be Soady, and you still haven't killed a deer — you're destined to be labeled a jinx in the court of public opinion.
Reuben Soady is desperately attempting to avoid this shameful label in Wilmington director Marsha Omato-Greenspan's hilarious comedic production "Escanaba in da Moonlight," which opens Friday at the Everett Theatre in Middletown and will have show dates all weekend.
"Escanaba in da Moonlight" features mild language and is recommended for patrons aged 11 or older.
The twisted comedy — written by actor and playwright Jeff Daniels ("Dumb & Dumber") — is a love letter to hunting fans and includes inside jokes, supernatural elements and, of course, a scene with farting.
WHAT "Escanaba in da Moonlight" theater show

5. P-Funk keyboardist comes to The Queen
Psychedelic-funk pioneer and music legend Bernie Worrell is piloting a new mothership: the Bernie Worrell Orchestra, set to land at World Café Live at The Queen on Saturday.
Worrell is the original keyboardist for Parliament-Funkadelic (better known as P-Funk). He and the group were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. His unmistakable, spaced-out sound fueled original P-Funk classics like "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)" and "Chocolate City."
The Bernie Worrell Orchestra is a nine-piece ensemble Worrell co-founded with drummer/bandleader Evan Taylor. The group debuted in 2011 with "Bernie Worrell: Standards," a collection of jazz classics done in Worrell's signature raw, unclassifiable "Dr. Woo" style. The band toured widely in support of the album, playing new music reminiscent of late '60s and early '70s psychedelic rock, as well as R&B and funk.

While at NARA today, I thought I would see what Land Records looked like and what they were about. From a Webinar or discussion in 2nd Life, I had already identified 4 Land Records to look at, when ever I would have a chance to do so. Today was that day. I handed in my 4 requests and got 4 boxes in return. One was not what I requested and it was too late to get it pulled in time. Maybe "next time".
This blog post won't be on the specific details of what I found, as I still need to look at all that I received. All are on my camera, and need time to spend with them. However, there was a lesson learned, for me at least.
I remember in the Second Life discussion on Inferential Genealogy, that we need to know the Records that we were looking at. These land records were one such lesson. My land records were AFTER 1909. But what had happened was that around 1907 (I think that was the date), the way that the Bureau of Land Management changed how these transactions were handled. This translates to how you request a Land Record to be pulled. I had, almost, the right information, in fact too much information, but the helpful gentlemen reviewed my form and corrected it.
All this to say, that it's helpful to look at this or any record group and understand that group of records before going to NARA. That is helpful, but as I learned, the staff were really helpful to me. I'll do better the next time.
While reading one of the records, the family farm, where my Grandfather was born was described. The Land holder was one of his brothers, but as I read the description of the farm, this is what I saw described.
In fact, the person in front of this building, is my Great-Grandmother. The detail in this record described this farm. It wasn't this farm, but the description fit.
Another of these files, was another great-uncle's fight and plea to keep his Land, as he had not been able to fulfill the requirements for the first two years of property ownership.
It will take some time to really digest all that was included in these three file, but I need to do some more research ABOUT these documents and what was behind the plea to keep the land. What were the "rules"? Or as I recall from Inferential Genealogy, Know the records that you are looking through.
