Weekly Defensive Preview: Illinois
After last week's venture examining Purdue's defense, I've decided to try my hand at creating a defensive preview each week for Michigan's opponent. I will compound as many facts together about the opponent and try to give you as close to an insider look as possible. We'll look at personnel, their defensive stats so far this year, and how they performed against Michigan last year. So here it is - I give you the 2012 Illinois Defensive Preview.
It could almost go without saying that Illinois has missed their award winning defensive end this year, Whitney Mercilus. Mercilus was a unanimous 1st Team All American, a consensus 1st Team All B1G player, the winner of the Bill Willis Lineman Award, and also won the Ted Hendricks Award for best defensive end. His shoes would be hard for anyone to fill, and Illinois doesn't have anyone who has remotely stepped up to that task so far.
Michael Buchanan
It isn't all bad though; returning for his senior year on the other side of the defensive line is consensus 2nd Team All B1G bandit, Michael Buchanan. Buchanan is rated as highly as the 2nd best DE in the draft, so he comes with great fanfare. Buchanan has picked up where he left of last year, being quite disruptive. He has 24 tackles, with 5 of those for a loss. He leads the Illini with 2.5 sacks, and 11 passes broken up (!). He even has an interception to his name which came in the 1st quarter versus Western Michigan in their season opener. Last week versus Wisconsin he recorded 5 tackles, 0 sacks, and was otherwise kept silent for most of the game. Not exactly the game changing performance Illinois needs from him and hopefully we'll see a repeat performance this week. FWIW - he has been bothered by his leg, (he was questionable for the Penn State game earlier this year), so there might be something there.
Jonathan Brown
Also returning this year is 2011 coaches' honorable mention All B1G linebacker Jonathan Brown. From the WILL linebacker spot, Jonathan leads the Illini with 6.5 tackles for loss. He is 2nd on the team in total tackling, with 38, and also has 1.5 sacks to his name. Brown was also injured this year (a trend we will see throughout this preview), he was questionable for the Wisconsin game, but managed to play and record 9 tackles. Similar to Buchanan, he didn't really change the game all that much. He is playing hurt according to Tim Beckman, and gave a gutsy performance though his injury. Those two have been the healthiest performers for Illinois, so that's where we'll stop this section. Let's take a look at the defensive front a little closer.
Akeem Spence
So now that we've looked at Buchanan, let's take a look at some of his defensive line teammates. Akeem Spence is a junior defensive tackle that appears to be a victim of the change in the Illini defensive scheme. Spence does have 27 tackles making him the 4th most active Illini player in that category. However, he has not been very disruptive in the backfield, recording only 2 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks this year. Spence is capable of plugging holes, but so far this year that's about it.
Glenn Foster is the other starting defensive tackle and has been even less impressive than Spence. Foster has 13 tackles, with 2 of those for a loss, and has yet to record a sack this year.
Tim Kynard has been starting at the other DE spot and has 9 tackles, 1.5 of those for a loss, and 0.5 sacks this year. It's pretty safe to say that Kynard is no Mercilus. Even worse than the stark realization that Kynard is not Mercilus, is that Kynard was seen on crutches at the Wisconsin game, so it's likely that Justin Staples will get the start versus Michigan. This only compounds the depth problems for Illinois on the defensive line after sophomore DT Jake Howe went out for the season with a broken arm. Howe was a backup for Akeem Spence.
There is also this: starting defensive lineman not named Michael Buchanan have amassed 49 tackles, with 5.5 of those for a loss, and only 1 sack this season. Versus Wisconsin, the Illini DL starters including players named Michael Buchanan recorded 14 tackles, 0 of those for a loss, 0 sacks, and broke up 2 passes. They didn't pressure the QB much, if at all, and were slashed for pretty good yards on the ground. Expect Michigan to game plan away from Buchanan as he is really the only disruptive player the Illini have up front.
Ashante Williams
Having covered Jonathan Brown above, we'll look at the other workhorse of the linebacker set. Illinois uses a safety/linebacker hybrid called a STAR, and their current starter at that spot is senior Ashante Williams. Williams leads the Illini with 41 tackles this year, has 0.5 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, 5 broken up passes, and 1 interception that he returned for a 60 yard touchdown versus Western Michigan.
At the MIKE position Illinois started the season fairly young. An injury to sophomore Houston Bates left Illinois even younger. His backup Mason Monheim is a true freshman but he has outperformed everyone's expectations so far. For his performance against Penn State he earned B1G Freshman of the Week honors. He is second among all Illini players with 38 tackles, with 2.5 of those for a loss. He has also recorded 1 sack, 1 pass broken up, and 1 interception.
That is where the bright spots end for the Illini at linebacker, unfortunately. Similar to their defensive line woes - depth, injury, and experience will be a problem as the B1G season plods on. Out of the 6 players in the Illini two deep at linebacker, 4 are freshmen, 1 is a junior, and 1 is a senior; the backups to the freshmen are mostly freshmen. Between the depth/injury problems at DL and the depth/experience/injury issues at linebacker, long sustained drives will benefit the Wolverines as the game grinds on (IF Illinois could somehow manage to keep it close).
(CB) Justin Green and (S) Steve Hull
I will start this section with an update on Terry Hawthorne. For those that don't know, Hawthorne was the Illini player who was taken off the field on a stretcher against Wisconsin. According to Illinois head coach Tim Beckman, Hawthorne sustained no serious injuries and was able to return with the team. Great news for what looked like a very scary situation.
With that said, Hawthorne will be replaced by a mix of senior Jack Ramsey and freshman V'Angelo Bentley. Ramsey has 12 tackles and 2 broken up passes and is a slight step down from Hawthorne. Bentley is very athletic and has the 3rd most broken up passes on the team, but is also a freshman with mostly special teams experience.
At the other cornerback position is "The Observer," senior Justin Green. Green has 17 tackles, 0 for a loss, 0 sacks, 0 passes broken up, and 0 interceptions. His specialty appears to be watching receivers catch passes and then abruptly tackling them for good measure. He was a highly touted 4 star recruit but so far hasn't lived up to the hype. In his 2 years starting at cornerback Green has yet to record 1 interception and has only broken up 7 passes in those same 2 years (!)
Losing Hawthorne takes the Illini from bad to worse at this spot. The only relief for Illinois here is that the cornerbacks probably won't get picked on that much, as Michigan will focus mostly on the ground attack.
A sad safety, Steve Hull
Illinois could really be in a bad spot at safety, had their projected starters not returned, well one of them has returned, I think, wait…nevermind. Injury prone senior Supo Sanni and junior Steve Hull returning to the Illini starting lineup would help this group out, however Supo Sanni can't make up his mind on which limb he should abuse from week to week. Will he play versus Michigan? I dunno, ask me after the game. Steve Hull looks very probable for the Michigan game though. The replacement safeties (Earnest Thomas, Tommy Davis, and
Pat Nixon-Youman*) have combined to record 59 tackles, 1 for loss, 1 interception, and 1 pass broken up. Not exactly a lethal group without Sanni and Hull, and not to say that Sanni and Hull are world beaters, but Illinois is slightly better with them FWIW. Against Wisconsin Illinois gave up a 62 and 59 yard touchdown pass. The big play should be on the table for Michigan if they get past the second level of the defense.
[edit]*In the time it took to write this report, Pat Nixon-Youman sustained an injury, seriously.
Pat Nixon-Youman
Lack of depth, lack of talent, a new system that isn't working, and player health are all problems for Illinois. Buchanan and Brown are studs; the rest of their defense is either injured, confused by the new scheme, merely serviceable, just plain bad, or inexperienced (or some combination of a few of these). Illinois could be in for a long and painful B1G season. Their fans are already feeling it; just listen to the pain only half way through their season from A Lion Eye –
This season gets a D so far. The only thing preventing an F was the opening win over Western Michigan. We haven't been anywhere close in our three losses. Only the second quarter against Louisiana Tech could even be considered competitive. And the Charleston Southern game doesn't count. (By the way, Charleston Southern's losing streak is over. They beat Shorter University, a school that just made the jump this year from NAIA to Division II. And Charleston Southern only won 23-20. At home. Against an school transitioning from NAIA. They're the worst team we'll face in the next 50 years.)
There is growing frustration in the fan base about their inability to get pressure on the quarterback.
109th nationally and last in the Big Ten in sacks allowed. So why do we find ourselves in so many third-and-long situations? And why are our opponents in so many third-and-short situations? We can't get to their quarterback, and they can easily get to ours.
There is also blame being thrown around, as Illinois is not used to being blown out by more than 17 points. For the record, they have been blown out by 17 in all of their losses this year. Once again, credit to A Lion Eye for documenting the last four 17 point losses –
11/26/11: Minnesota 27, Illinois 7
11/12/11: Michigan 31, Illinois 14
10/16/10: Michigan State 26, Illinois 6
10/03/09: Penn State 35, Illinois 17
That's it. Under Zook the Illini may not have been out for world domination, but they usually made you earn it. Illinois went from being a decent running team that relied on their defense to keep them in the game, to a poor running team that has trouble keeping the offense off the field.
So how can Michigan attack the Illini defense? Take your pick, either option is quite appealing. We'll start with the rushing defense. Here is a chart showing rushing yards allowed versus opponent and the opponent's rushing yardage ranking (in parenthesis).
- I gave Western Michigan 0 yards, even though they had a negative day (-6) without adjusting for the sacks. With a negative number it made the chart look strange and I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so yeah.
- The average ranking of Illinois opponents for rushing total yardage is 65. Illinois is ranked 38th in rushing defense, but that comes with the disclaimer that their opponents haven't been very good at running the ball this year.
- The toughest opponent they have faced has been Louisiana Tech (18th in rushing offense), Holding them to 119 yards should be commended, except that Louisiana Tech torched them for 284 yards through the air, so a running game wasn't really a necessary part of their strategy. Also Louisiana Tech has 5 wins and 0 losses which should also be commended, except their 5 wins came against the likes of Houston (2-3), Rice (1-5), Illinois (2-4), Virginia (2-4), and UNLV (1-5). Virginia just got torched by Duke, yes Duke. If you are counting Illinois and Virginia as your quality wins, then using rankings is probably a moot point.
- Illinois is giving up 100+ yards to everyone who is not Western Michigan or otherwise listed an FCS school. Michigan is not Western Michigan or an FCS school; we should use this to our advantage.
- Illinois gave up 173 yards to Wisconsin who has Montee Ball and James White. They also gave up 173 yards to Penn State who has Zach Zwinak and Bill Belton. All of these guys are great quality backs, but Wisconsin and Penn State are also the 86th and 91st teams in total rushing yards to date.
- Watching the Wisconsin game gave me hope that Fitz can take on a more North-South running approach, as the holes that Illinois left open were wide and obvious.
- For Wisconsin, Ball averaged 6.1 YPC and White averaged 7.0 YPC, and the long was only 23 yards. Their numbers aren't skewed by an 80 or 90 yard run, which tells us that they gashed them for 7 to 10 yards all day long. Watching the replay on BTN2GO confirms this.
I present to you the chart for Illini pass defense; each team's ranking is in parenthesis.
- The average passing yardage ranking of the Illini's opponents thus far is 49. On average they have given up over 200 yards per game through the air. Illinois is 63rd in passing defense so far this year.
highlightlowlight for their secondary was giving up 254 yards to a former walk on quarterback last week. Wisconsin ranks 101st in total passing yards and this includes their "Air Raid" attack on a helpless Illinois secondary.
- The only team that Illinois kept to less than 100 yards passing was an FCS school.
- The only team that is not an FCS school that Illinois kept to less than 200 yards passing was [this portion intentionally left blank for future opponent].
Fitzgerald Toussaint 192 yard rushing party! That was basically the ball game as Toussaint filled a major gap when Denard left with an injured wrist. With the stellar performance by Toussaint, Hoke was able to leave Gardner in the game and not risk aggravating Denard's wrist more. A 65 yard TD by Fitz highlighted his performance and his 7.1 YPC on the ground paved the way to an easy Michigan victory. Michigan went through the air 15 times, only completed 8 passes, but got big yardage each play. Both Robinson and Gardner averaged over 9 YPC with two of Michigan's receivers averaging over 20 yards per completion (!). Illinois gave up 139 passing yards, 223 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, 1 passing touchdown, intercepted 1 pass, and recovered 2 fumbles.
Your Second Half Quarterback?
Look for a similar game plan as last year. Michigan will give Illinois a heavy dose of running. If Michigan doesn't turn the ball over, this might be over by the 2nd quarter. If that happens, Bellomy should get some snaps, and we should see more of Thomas Rawls. Computers are projecting a 38-14 final score; there isn't anything that I found in my analysis that would make me think otherwise.

Division II increases participation
Track, cross country expand championship competitors
NCAA Division II championships in men's and women's cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field will have increased student-athlete participation beginning with the 2012-13 academic year.
The number of teams in the cross country championships will increase from 24 to 32 per gender and from 16 to 24 automatic qualifiers per gender for individuals. Overall, the total number of competitors for each gender in cross country will increase from 184 to 248.
The top three teams from each regional meet will automatically advance to the finals, an increase of one team per region. Each region will be allotted one additional team berth for each team finishing in the top eight in the previous year's national championships, which is consistent with the current procedures for selecting the finalists.
In indoor track and field, the number of student-athletes selected to the championships will increase from 200 to 270 student-athletes per gender. In outdoor track and field, the increase is from 310 to 377 per gender.
The changes were recently approved by the Division II Championships Committee and supported by the Division II Management Council, Presidents Council and Planning and Finance Committee. To finance the increases, $250,000 will come from the Division II Reserve Fund, and the rest of the support will come from the current budgets for each championship.
Members of the Division II Men's and Women's Track and Field Committee recommended the increase to align access ratios with those of other individual-team sports for Division II.
"We've had a big influx with a lot of National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics schools coming into Division II," said Committee Chair Kim Duyst, who is also the associate athletics director at Cal State Stanislaus. "That has brought in more cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field teams. Our ratios were pretty high compared to the targets you like to have."
The current access ratio for the indoor track and field championships is 1:20 for men and 1:19 for women. When the additions go into place next year, those ratios will drop to approximately 1:15 for men and 1:14 for women.
In the outdoor track and field championships, the current ratio is 1:17 for men and 1:16 for women. The increase in participant numbers result in a ratio of approximately 1:14 for men and 1:13 for women.
Additionally, the 3,000-meter run will be added as a championship event for both genders in the indoor track and field championships.
"It is an international event for indoor meets, and we haven't had it in the past," Duyst said. "To stay in line with other traditional indoor championships, we've decided to add it."
All of the championships will be conducted in the same number of days as they currently are. The cross country meets will finish in one day, the indoor track and field championships will end in two days and the outdoor track and field championships will conclude in three days.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Max Baucus says the Senate Finance Committee will investigate the IRS targeting conservative political groups, joining a growing list of congressional panels looking into the matter.
The Finance Committee would be the first in the Democratic-controlled Senate to announce an investigation. The Montana Democrat is the panel's chairman.
In the House, the Ways and Means Committee and the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, also are investigating.
On Friday, the IRS apologized for scrutinizing the tax-exempt status of groups with conservative titles such as "Tea Party" or "Patriot" in their applications. An upcoming inspector general's report obtained by The Associated Press says IRS supervisors knew about the targeting as early as 2011.

Not for kids
Bleak, very violent, but compelling serial killer story.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Frozen Ground is based on a true story about a man who raped and killed many women in Alaska. Though not everything is shown, the material is very strong and isn't recommended for kids or teens. A young woman (played by High School Musical alum Vanessa Hudgens) is kidnapped, tied up, and taunted. She later describes being raped, though it's not shown. Male characters are beat up and shot in the head. Scenes take place in a strip club, and several topless women are shown; sex acts are described. Language is very strong, with uses of "f--k," "s--t," "c--t," the "N" word, and more. The teen character is shown smoking many cigarettes, trying crystal meth for the first time, and overdosing (non-fatally) on cocaine. The movie closes with photographs of many of the killer's real-life victims.
Messages: This is a very pessimistic movie. It takes place in a world in which girls can get mistreated by their parents and run away, only to find no other options besides prostitution or stripping, and in which police are hamstrung by the law. Not even catching the bad guy seems to help much, in the grand scheme of things.
Role models: The main police sergeant is a brave man who's dedicated to helping others and risks his life and job to catch the bad guy and protect the good guys. He truly seems to care. But he's the only positive example here.
Violence: A serial killer kidnaps, ties up, tortures, rapes, and murders prostitutes and runaways. All of this is discussed frequently, though only one victim is shown. She gets away, but she's shown being tied up and taunted; her rape is described verbally. She also talks vaguely about being abused as a child, and she's chased, threatened, and terrorized several other times during the movie. Male characters are beaten and shot in the head. A decomposed body is briefly shown. There's some general yelling and tension, and a bloody nose is shown. The movie closes with photographs of many of the killer's real-life victims.
Sex: Some scenes take place inside a strip club, and several topless women are shown. One or two naked female bottoms are shown. Prostitutes are shown. The killer's sexual activities are discussed; he explains that he goes to prostitutes because he doesn't like his wife to perform certain oral activities on him.
Language: Language is very strong and includes "f--k," "s--t," the "N" word," "c--t," "bitch," "whore," "Goddamn," "hell," "Jesus," and more.
Consumerism: Not applicable
Drinking, drugs and smoking: The teen prostitute is shown smoking lots of cigarettes. She's given some crystal meth before going onstage and stripping for the first time. She also snorts some cocaine and overdoses, but she survives. The hero drinks a whisky at home after work.

So let's start with the car.
For this season we will use 2010 Ford Fusion Sport [C372]. Why this car? Mostly because it's not as big and heavy as the Taurus, it has much less power (makes oval racing more intense) and it's one of the very few stock versions of the real NASCAR racing cars.
Racing Differentials
Racing Transmissions
Racing Suspension
Racing Roll-Bars
Racing Brakes
Tire upgrades (any kind)
Power upgrades (any kind)
basically you may not use any part that would allow you to adjust your car.
Edit: I rethought this, and I think it would be a bit stressful trying to manage if people are using mods or not. This series will be locked to stock upgrades and tuning. You may paint your car as you see fit (NASCAR themed would be awesome) but you may not add / remove or adjust parts on your car.
Now this means no PI penalty system to slow the field down. Honestly I don't think the field needs slowed down. The way I am designing this season should bring it down to a much, much closer fight anyway.
Points will be just like BURFL
1st = 25
2nd = 18
DNF's & DNS's result in 0 points. You don't need to register (unless you want to keep your number), we will use a more NASCAR like number scheme (no boxes) but you will need huge numbers on the door, roof, and bumpers. I'd like all numbers to be 3 digits (not starting with 0) 100-999. Race lobby will open at 11:00 pm ET, once the lobby is full or everyone available and willing to drive is in it will begin (11:30 is the deadline). You don't have to take part in ALL the races, you may come and go as you please. The 16 spots will be first come, first serve. All are welcome of course.
So there won't be any car tuning, now for the tracks.
We're going to use ONLY US tracks (Ovals excluded since there are so few of them in game), so this means this will be the first season that will not finish on the Ring (I know it's tradition, but it's NASCAR like ).
Qualifying will be 15 minutes (just like BURFL) with ghost cars, fastest clean lap in 15 minutes gets pole. No bonus points for pole.

The loss of memory caused by over consumption of liquor.
I had four vodka drinks last night and then got Alcoholzheimer's Disease. I don't remember driving home, or stopping at Del Taco before getting home, or eating them when I got home - hey, was that guy I was talking to last night any cute?
by AT Kamikaze August 09, 2007
Periodic dementia brought on by excessive alcohol consumption in social environments.
You talk to somebody at a party at length about life, the universe, and everything. Weeks later you see the same person again in "normal" life, you can't remember a thing you said or talked about, or even if you've ever met at all. The only lingering sensation is one of embarrassment from the possibility that you mispronounced the word "lambatse" multiple times. This is a symptom of Alcoholzheimer's Disease. See a doctor.

Tulip project to tell about spring's worldwide onset
It's the battle of titans the world has awaited for more than 100 years, beginning this winter and ending this coming spring.
In this corner, Punxsutawney Phil; in the opposite corner, science.
But Punxsutawney Area Middle School students taking part in a program to track the growth of tulips in various parts of the world — and taking into consideration the onset of spring — believe their hometown hero will emerge victorious.
"They think they will be right along with Phil" and his Feb. 2 prognostication, whatever it may be, said PAMS fifth-grade teacher Jeff Kuntz.
The five students — John Buffington, Guy Heckler, Bailey Jones, Megan Ray and Liam Storms — have taken on the tulip project through Journey North, a program that studies global wildlife migration and seasonal change.
In beginning the project, students plant and observe tulip test gardens to track the arrival of spring, observing and recording when their own plants — and those in other school gardens across the Northern Hemisphere — emerge from the ground and bloom.
The Punxsy students planted 10 tulips Tuesday at the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center, whose project administrator, Mary Jean Johnston, contacted Kuntz about the event.
The Journey North Web site allows student test-gardeners — from areas not only in the United States, but also Europe and Asia — to chart the progress of the tulips.
Tuesday, for example, the PAMS students observed that the weather was "foggy, misty and damp (52 degrees)," while the day before, first-graders at Redding Elementary School in Redding, Conn., planted their tulips in sunny and 55-degree weather.
Journey North says as students track the progress of their tulips, they also record temperatures, day length and other seasonal signs and see how different factors influence plant growth, which then allows for a better understanding of the changing climate.
Kuntz, who teaches math and social studies at the middle school, said the five students and their parents planted the tulips. He also said the students will have to wait a while before they start to see their tulips begin to emerge.
Johnston said she was contacted by Journey North because the group views Punxsutawney as the epicenter of spring.

HAMDEN — — Jordan Samuels-Thomas had to leave home to find out how much he missed home. And if that sounds like something out of a Disney movie, well, that's probably a good a place to start.
As he stood there with his family Friday night after Quinnipiac, the nation's top-ranked hockey team, dusted No. 13 Yale 4-1 at High Point Solutions Arena, Cliff Thomas needed only three words to answer why he got his son involved in the sport.

On her tenth release, Angels in Disguise, Celtic harpist Kim Robertson adds a new dimension to her music: The evocative sounds of her voice, previously heard only in concert.
Along with her own arrangements of Irish, Scottish, and Japanese instrumentals, Kim has included five elegant original songs and two scottish folk songs that capture the haunting quality of her vocals. The album opens with Doucement, one of two selections with French lyrics inspired by her years of study in France. These pieces, along with Hello My Friend, speak eloquently of timeless love, while selections like Contemplate and Angels in Disguise reflect on the power of imagination to transcend limitation.
The dreamy production quality of the album adds to the magic and clarity of Kim's expressive vocals. Her crystalline harp melodies are further enhanced by warm, ethereal instrumental arrangements featuring violin, hammered dulcimer, guitar and percussion. After listening to this celestial yet sensuous music, you may wonder if Kim herself is an angel in disguise.

That's the recommendation of a commission created to study the effects of further limitations for direct and counter-cyclical payments and marketing loan benefits. The commission considered effects on farm income, farmland values, rural communities, agribusiness infrastructure and potential reductions in planted acreage.
The commission included ten members from across the farm belt with two, Richard Newman and Ed Smith, from Texas.
Smith, associate director for Agriculture and Natural Resources for the Texas Extension Service, reported on the commission's findings recently at the Texas Commodity Symposium in Amarillo.
Smith said goals for payment limitations include: reducing government spending; preventing large operators from receiving excessive support; preventing wealthy non-producers from receiving payments; slowing down farm consolidation and bidding up of land values; and redistributing agricultural program spending.
He said 34 percent of all U.S. farms received government payments in 2001. The total includes 273,000 rural residence (small) farms, 330,000 intermediate farms and 123,000 commercial farms.
Net farm income from the rural residence farms averaged only $2,256 with average government payments of $4,827. Intermediate farmers average net income was $17,961 with $13,865 from government programs. Commercial operations averaged $124,220 and averaged $60,532 in government payments.
Those small farms make up38 percent of the total receiving government payments. Intermediate farms account for 45 percent and commercial farms come in at 17 percent.
Small farmers receive 10 percent of government payments; intermediate farms get 34 percent and commercial farms receive 56 percent.
But production figures provide a bit more insight. The 273,000 small farms produce only 7 percent of the commodities under farm programs; intermediate farms produce 27 percent. Commercial farms account for 66 percent of program crop production.
Rice farms averaged the highest payments, $116,600 per farm, followed by cotton at $55,500. Cash grain farms average $31,900; oilseed farms averaged $15,800; livestock averaged $9,300 and other crops $12,100.
"Current limits do not reduce payments appreciably," Smith said. "Most farms are not large enough to trigger limits, although farms in 43 states hit limits in 2001.
"Also, large farms have multiple persons engaged in the operation and there is no limit on marketing loan benefits."
Smith said the commission also considered the effect of certificates on farm income and government spending.
"Certificates facilitate marketing loan administration and help farmers avoid loan forfeiture. Gains are not subject to payment limits. Non-recourse loans make loan deficiency payments and marketing loan gain limits ineffective.
"Use of certificates with non-recourse loans has little consequence for taxpayers, produces a slight increase in farm income and avoids market disruption or forfeitures."
So what happens with further payment limitations? Smith says reducing the direct payment limit to $30,000, the counter cyclical payment to $50,000 and the loan benefit to $75,000 cuts direct payments by $255 million to $275 million. The counter cyclical payments drop $400 million to $425 million and loan benefit payments fall $400 million to $500 million.
"The number of producers affected rises from 12,000 to 35,000 and farms lose from four percent to five percent of payments. States most affected would be California, Arizona, Arkansas and Mississippi."
Smith said government payments account for 15 percent to 25 percent of farmland value. "But many factors determine the value of land. Non-operator landlords rent out 41 percent of farmland."
He said reducing limits to the $30,000 DL, $50,000 CC and $50,000 loan benefit would reduce rental rates and land values. "National effect would be modest but regional effect could be significant."
With those new limits Smith estimated that 25 percent or more Arizona and California farmers would hit the limit. "Effects would be greatest in the Delta and the Southern Plains, then the Southeast and rural areas of the Far West," Smith said.
Smith said the commission could not determine the long-run effects of payment limitations on rural communities and the agriculture infrastructure within those communities.
"Vulnerable areas would include counties dependent on farm income and government payments." Areas where a high proportion of producers get hit by limitations would be at risk.
Smith said the Delta, west Texas and the Upper Gulf Coast, rural Arizona, western Kansas, eastern Nebraska and South Dakota stand to be hit hardest in the short run. Effects could include fewer acres and less farm income and spending but higher crop prices and lower rent. "Effects diminish over time," Smith said.
He said payment limitations should have minimal effect on commodity supplies and prices. Cotton and rice acreage could decline. Nationally, acreage reductions would be modest. Fruit and vegetable growers would see little effect but some growers could shift to hay production.
"Again, effects diminish over time."
Smith said the commission developed recommendations for legislators contemplating changes in the farm program, the primary one to delay any change until a new farm bill or allowing adequate time for phase-in of changes.
Other recommendations include:
- Increase compliance resources at the Farm Service Agency.
- Avoid incentives to create business organizations for payment purposes.
- Avoid changes that force shifting risk from landlords to tenants.
- Changes should be meaningful, transparent, simple and sensitive to commodities, regions and existing infrastructure.
- "Actively engaged" should be strengthened by combining active labor and management and making it meaningful and measurable.
- Direct attribution would improve transparency. Attribute payments through entities to individuals. Entities still qualify for payments but entities must be actively engaged in agriculture. Landowner/share rent exemption would continue.
"Others believe loan benefits should be limited to production on family-size operations. They argue that such a limit would reduce the income derived from economies of scale, lowering land values and slowing farm consolidation with associated benefits to rural communities."
Committee members' opinions reflected, "How they view the goal of farm programs," Smith said.

Jordan Waxman can handle the Ironman—he's planning to run his fifth and sixth triathalons this year—but he couldn't handle Bank of America bureaucracy. The problems that he and partners Kenneth Hoffman and Richard Steinberg had running their ultra-high-net-worth practice at Merrill Lynch Private Banking and Investment Group after Merrill's acquisition by Bank of America in the 2008 financial crash led the team to seek alternatives, Waxman says. Today the team, which managed $1.4 billion in assets for about 50 clients at Merrill, said they've left the wirehouse and joined HighTower, the Chicago-based national registered investment advisor.
Waxman, 47, said about a third of the practice's business involved overseas investors, and the team ran one of the few international private wealth management practices at Merrill. It wasn't always easy, Waxman says, although he declined to elaborate.
"It became at points unbearable for us. It was not hard to do international business when it was a part of Merrill. It was incredibly hard to do business internationally as part of Bank of America," he said. "When you try to have a very tony, bespoke wealth experience from within a large organization…so much of our time was spent administratively dealing with a large bureaucracy, and it only got larger after Merrill became part of Bank of America, which we really didn't sign up for."
The new practice, HSW Advisors, is based in New York City. It's the fourth large team that HighTower has recruited this year, and the second from Merrill. (Leo J. Kelly III and Brian Grumbach, formerly of The Kelly Group, last month announced their move from Merrill Lynch Wealth Management.)
Other big names have left Merrill this year. Last month John Beirne Jr. and his team said they had formed their own RIA with the help of aggregator Focus Financial Partners after concluding a Merrill policy that barred soliciting new pension plan business would crimp their growth.
"Our expectation and our hope is our clients will follow us. We've had an excellent reception so far," Waxman said. Merrill Lynch could not be reached for comment.
Not every client was worried about the safety of their assets after the 2008 crash, Waxman said, but many were. One of the ways to assure clients was to find a model that allowed multiple custodians, he said. The team spent 16 months on the due diligence of finding a new way to do business. The team, which brought along a staff of five advisors, analysts and other professionals with them, evaluated other large firms, full independence, and joining small RIAs or larger RIAs similar to HighTower.
If they wanted to build their own business, Waxman said, it would look like HighTower's—using multiple custodians and its own capital markets desk to conduct trades with other firm. "We just couldn't recreate it without working a second job over time for an extra year. We didn't have the energy or the capability to do that and still service our clients appropriately," he said. It was easier to join HighTower.
Steinberg and Waxman left Goldman Sachs in 2002 to join Merrill. Hoffman joined Merrill in 1994 after working at Lehman Brothers and E.F. Hutton. At Merrill, their clients included families, foundations, endowments, unions and pension funds.

McMinnville hires former Sprague coach to lead football program
McMinnville Athletic Director Mark Hinthorn announced Monday that Robin Hill will be the new football coach at McMinnville High School. Hill, who formerly coached the Sprague Olympians for 24 years, retired after the 2011 season, but after a year off, Hinthorn said Hill was ready to get back into the game.
Hinthorn said Hill coached the Olympians to the playoffs in 21 of his 24 years, including in 2004 when they defeated Lake Oswego to win the 4A state championship.
The move comes after the Grizzlies spent a season without a permanent coach. Assistant Don Rutschman took over in July for outgoing Jeff Kearin, who took a job at Occidental College in California after spending two years at Mac. Rutschman coached the Grizzlies to a fourth-place finish in the Pacific Conference and a 5-5 record. Mac also earned its first home playoff game in eight seasons.
Hinthorn said Hill is vacationing in Hawaii with his wife. He was unavailable for comment Monday. Look for a complete story in Tuesday's News-Register as well as a follow-up story Friday with comment from Hill.
Also of note, McMinnville graduate and assistant football coach Luke Bucheit was hired in January by Sprague to be its head baseball coach. Bucheit was also a defensive coordinator for the Grizzlies, and Hinthorn said Bucheit will coach in some capacity for the Olympians next fall.

Table of Contents
The spouse or qualified domestic partner and/or dependent children of eligible faculty and staff members are eligible to Tuition Remission benefits upon their admission to Ithaca College as a candidate for their first undergraduate four-year degree. Tuition Remission covers the balance due of the tuition charged for courses taken less any scholarships and grants creditable toward tuition. The employee or dependent are responsible for paying all other fees.
An eligible employee may apply for tuition remission benefits for a spouse or grandfathered qualified domestic partner, and for natural, legally adopted, or legally dependent children who are under age 25 at the start of the semester or term. Dependents must apply and be accepted for admission through the College's standard admission process. Eligibility for this benefit has no bearing on the admission decision. As Ithaca College has become more selective, there are cases in which dependents are not accepted for admission.
In order for an employee to receive this benefit, she/he must complete three years of benefits-eligible service (defined in the Eligibility Requirements section of the Introduction) prior to the semester during which their dependent wishes to enroll.
Governing Guidelines and Restrictions
Tuition Remission benefits are granted only for the number of credit hours necessary to meet given degree requirements (usually 120 credit hours). Each eligible person receives a bank of credit hours equivalent to the number necessary to complete the degree requirements in the major field of study, unless the Ithaca College Cash Award benefit was previously used. In that case, the available bank of credits will be either the number of credit hours remaining after application of the Cash Award benefit (see the section Coordination with Cash Awards) or the number of credit hours necessary to complete degree requirements, whichever is lower.
During the Summer Period and Winter Break
Tuition remission benefits are not applicable for most courses from which faculty compensation is derived as a percentage of revenue generated, i.e., for independent studies, tutorials, internships, performance study instruction, or any other type of individualized study. Employees whose dependents are enrolled in a course of study that requires individualized study during the summer period or winter break should contact the Office of Human Resources before applying for any Tuition Remission benefits. A dependent who wishes to take an independent study that is not covered under the Tuition Remission benefit is responsible for paying the normal per-hour tuition rate in effect at that time.
In addition, tuition remission benefits can be applied only to courses in which at least seven tuition-paying students have enrolled.
Note: All classes, including internships and independent studies, are covered during the regular academic year.
Administration of Benefits
Full-time, paying students may enroll for 12 - 18 credit hours per semester at the regular tuition rate. Similarly, full-time students eligible for Tuition Remission benefits may enroll for 12 - 18 credit hours and will use 15 hours of the benefit. If they enroll for more than 18 hours, the benefit is calculated as 15 hours plus the number of hours over 18. The benefit for part-time students (i.e., those taking fewer than 12 credits) is the actual number of credit hours taken.
It is important to note that Tuition Remission benefits are used on the basis of credit hours taken, not the number of hours successfully completed. For example, if a student attended the College for eight semesters on a full-time basis but only received 12 hours of credit each semester, he or she would have exhausted the bank of 120 hours of credits (eight semesters at 15 hours each) yet only have accumulated 96 hours (eight semesters at 12 hours each). The employee or student would then have to pay the tuition costs necessary to complete the degree. On the other hand, a full-time student could obtain as many as 144 credits (eight semesters at 18 hours each) if the maximum number of credit hours were taken each semester and successfully completed.
Most students, with reasonable planning, will average around 15 credits a semester and end up with at least 120 credits, making it possible for them to graduate in eight semesters with no tuition costs to themselves, as in the following example.
|Credits Taken
|Tuition Remission Used
|Tuition Remission
It is important to pay attention to how the credits are accounted for. In the previous example, if the student had taken 15 credits instead of 17 during the fourth semester, he or she would have had only 119 credits at the end of eight semesters and would need to pay for 1 credit in order to graduate.
Combining Full and Part Time Study
It becomes even more important to pay attention to how Tuition Remission is used when a student combines full- and part-time course loads (e.g., takes classes during a summer session or winter break) or takes over 18 credits during one semester. For instance:
|Tuition Remission Used
|Tuition Remission
Winter Session: 3
Summer Session: 6
Summer Session: 6
In this example the student took classes for seven semesters, one winter session and two summer sessions and ended up with 120 credits at no tuition cost. However, if 6 credits had been taken during the first winter session, then for the last semester the student would have needed 14 credits to graduate but would have had only 12 credits left in the Tuition Remission bank.
Remember: (1) Part-time credits decrease the number of semesters that can be taken at no charge, but they do not necessarily make it impossible to take the required number of credits. (2) Taking over 18 credits in one semester uses up extra credits. For example, a student taking 19 credits will be charged for 16 credits (the 15 for full-time enrollment plus 1.)
Students using the Tuition Remission benefit should also be aware that credit hours are still charged if a course is dropped after the official add-drop period or if the course is failed. For example, if a student is taking 12 credit hours and drops a 3-credit course late or fails it, he or she is still charged for full-time study, with the credits deducted accordingly.
If a student is enrolled in a program which requires more than 120 credits, please contact the Office of Human Resources.
Tuition Remission for the Summer Program for High School Sophomores and Juniors
Tuition Remission is available for the tuition portion of the Summer Program for High School Sophomores and Juniors. Dependent children wishing to take this special program must meet the eligibility requirement as stated. Any Tuition Remission benefit used for this program will reduce the maximum Tuition Remission benefit. For further information, please contact the Office of Human Resources.
Coordination with Cash Awards
Students transferring to Ithaca College after receiving Cash Awards (see section on Cash Award Scholarship Plan for Dependent Children) will have adjustments made to their Tuition Remission benefits. Their available bank of credit hours will be reduced by 1 credit hour for each $33.33 of Cash Awards used at another institution. For example, if a student has received $2,000 in Cash Awards, the Tuition Remission benefit at Ithaca College is reduced by 60 credit hours ($2,000/$33.33 = 60). (If the student's parents are both eligible Ithaca College employees, $66.66 will be used.) A student may buy back up to two semesters of Cash Award if transferring to Ithaca College and additional credit hours are needed to fulfill the degree requirement.
Effect of Part Time Study on the Cash Award Benefit
The Cash Award benefit will be pro-rated for part-time study at another institution, not to exceed the maximum benefit. For example, if a student is enrolled in 6 credit hours, then the Cash Award benefit would be calculated as follows: 6 credit hours X $33.33/ credit hour = $199.98.
Dual-Degree Programs
Currently, Ithaca College's Tuition Remission benefit for dependents covers only the student's first undergraduate degree. For students enrolled in dual degree programs, Tuition Remission will only apply to the undergraduate portion of their degree, or their first undergraduate degree. Graduate classes in Masters or Doctorate Degree programs will not be covered under Tuition Remission benefits. Students in the 3-2 Physics-Engineering and 3-2 Chemistry-Engineering programs will be eligible to receive three years of Tuition Remission benefits at Ithaca College, and 2 semesters of Cash Awards benefits for taking classes at the other institution. The student would be responsible for paying for any credit hours in excess of those allowed under the Tuition Remission benefit.
Coordination with Other Financial Aid
The maximum Tuition Remission benefit is the applicable tuition charge, less any tuition assistance specifically designated as an award to be used for tuition purposes and/or based on tuition charges, whether awarded or eligible to be awarded, to a qualifying student. That assistance may include scholarships and grants from state or federal sources, from Ithaca College, or educational benefits through other employers.
For example, if the full time course load tuition for one semester is $10,000, and the recipient is eligible to receive $2,000 from a NYS Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grant, and is also the recipient of a College merit-based scholarship of $2,500 for the same period, then the tuition remission benefit would be reduced by $4,500. Therefore, the total tuition remission benefit would be $5,500 for the semester.
A tuition remission eligible student is required to apply for the New York State (NYS) Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) as well as any other state aid programs specified for tuition purposes that he/she may qualify for or apply for a waiver. A student who does not believe he/she is eligible for NYS TAP or other forms of financial assistance must demonstrate proof of ineligibility by submitting a letter requesting a waiver by June 1st to the College's Director of Student Financial Services. A copy of parent and student NYS taxes for the calendar year prior to the academic year Tuition Remission benefits are being requested must accompany the waiver appeal. Once a waiver is granted, subsequent documentation is not necessary unless the College believes that the student may be eligible for a NYS aid program.
A student is responsible for being aware of the deadlines for applying for financial aid as well as the Tuition Remission benefit in order to avoid late charges. Additionally, a student who fails to apply for the appropriate outside assistance or demonstrate proof of ineligibility will have his/her Tuition Remission benefit reduced by the amount the College estimates the outside assistance would have been or in the absence of the ability to determine an estimate, the minimum amount of the award(s).
Effect on Benefits when Active Employment Ceases
Death, Total Disability, Retirement
Tuition Remission benefits are not necessarily terminated with the end of an employee's service.

But I think it might be a bit soon to see a big brand like Coca-Cola in such an ota show like Lucky Star.
Who knows...I would definitely get that SODA if i could though

Just watched on air.
Overall not that impressive, but stable. Konata's unique deeds and thoughts on okaku things, and Kagami's pragmatic attitude really shined on the former half of the episode.
I didn't like the latter half that much, but still enjoyable. Nyamoo-shaped fireworks!
And the ED part...
"Ma'am, I know you've wanted THIS!"
Now I must admit I underestimated Shiraishi...

For the first six minutes, Tsukasa-chan was basically a cardboard character.
Kagamin: Why are all these bishoujo game protagonists female magnets?
Kona-chan: Otherwise there'll be no story.
Kagamin: Why do all these bishoujo game heroines have no boyfriend?
Kona-chan: Otherwise there'll be no story.
So true, LOL. (Also shivers at hearing all of Kona-chan's bishoujo game girls sounding like Orochimaru from Naruto, since they're all voiced by Kujira. )
Poor Miyuki (or as the 2ch fans like to call, "Mi-WIKI") going to the dentist.
Tsukasa-chan bragging to Kona-chan about how her art homework won in a competition, thanks to her dad. At first he only helped out a bit, but then he got more and more passionate and ended up taking over completely. LOL
Wonder if that Haruhi endorsed SOS Brigade drink is actually on sale in Japan?
Yu-chan asking about what present her friend should give for her boyfriend's birthday, but she's asking the wrong girls. (All three are STILL single, amazingly. )
Yu-chan shocked and at a lost after realizing that she's still on last name terms with Minami (got too used to calling her "Iwasaki-san"), until Minami saves the day once again.
Soujirou: Kona-chan, you're free to do what you like. Daddy won't stop you.
Kona-chan: Then maybe I should go find myself a boyfriend.
Soujirou: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
The fireworks scenario:
- Tsukasa-chan bumping into the station turnstiles "NANJAKORYAA!?"
- The girls only now realize Miyuki and Minami are neighbours
- Still amazed Miyuki's klutzy mom Yukari managed to survive in today's world
- Poor Hiyorin, apparently Minami's doggy doesn't like otakus too much
- Yu-chan lying her head on Minami's lap = pure win
Shortest Lucky Channel ever seen. Finally, even Ono Daisuke has appeared, replacing poor Shiraishi as assistant, as Shiraishi is on a suicide mission to the haunted forest under Mt Fuji, lol.
Akira-sama: So you're not a crow this time, huh? - Referring to Ono's role as Sora the crow in AIR (I won't go into AIR spoilers here, so don't worry).
Ono: And you aren't a dog either. - Referring to Akira-sama's seiyuu, Konno Hiromi's role as Potato in AIR.
Akira-sama: Piko~ - Potato's trademark sound LOL
Four of the five SOS Brigade members have made appearances in Lucky Star now, with two as regular casts. All that's left is Gotou Yuuko.
Shiraishi's (the live action one) dancing ED was hilarious, that's all I'll say.
Overall, things didn't pick up until the second half. So 9/10, guess it can't be helped as I've already seen three superb eps in a row.

Just watched it... love it. Another 10 from me.
Spoiler for Spoiler yo:
As for what was the drink... well, the can looked like Coke, but I think it's a parody of a coke commercial. I just can't find which one (neither can the 2ch set). Soda is not big at all in Japan. You'll be hard-pressed to find Soda in a a Conbimi. You'll find stacks of teas, sports drinks, coffee, yogurt drink and other fancy stuff, but not that many Soda on the shelf. This is why the two most recent anime drinks are Eva Coffee and Mikuru Tea.

In particular I really like sports and yogurt drinks, and occasionally I'll drink the cold coffee. (I also love the kids drinks that are shaped like certain characters... Hello Kitty and Pokémon drinks! XD )

Cute Yutaka x Minami scene. I also liked the part where they made the transition to given names.
Cute preview. Poor Misao.
That ED... It both made me chuckle and want to shoot Shiraishi in the face.
I totally understand Izumi-jiji, and Konata's boyfriend.

Aaaah, mosquitoes. I wish I could forget them but the over one hundred bites I had during my trip in cambodia + thailand just didn't help.
Just to say that the both scenes related to them echoed my feelings back in that time.

Ahh, Konata hunting for rare items even IRL, can't beat that..but there isn't that much collectable random stuff in normal countries!
I doubt Yutaka x Minami goes any further in the anime, there is no romance in Lucky Star, if there were they'd have to make enough of it to satisfy all sorts of fans (only romance in the anime a "rotten world" one = no good )
And mosquitoes, they're very much a pest in where I am, but by October I become immune to the infectuous effcets of mosquito stings. Wish the immunity kept up over the winter, too.

Brilliant episode. All the girls got their screentime.
I know it's not just me continuously noticing this but I'm liking how each episode the background characters are getting more and more detailed. I assume in the last episode everyone will be rich in color.
Next episode preview is great too. More Misao and Ayano please!

Lucky Star is back to hopping around as though the storyboard has Tourette's. *sigh* Oh, well. Not really any moments I found outstanding, but there was a lot of good, and the low periods weren't boring. I confess I had some warm fuzzies when the entire group was finally together.
My reaction to the Haruhi commercial was as follows.
"What's cleavage doing in my Lucky Star?!...Oh, it's Haruhi...OK, now I'm feeling Kaioshin-rage, this is TOO MUCH--and Haruhi's breasts are not so enormous as that... Oh, it seems to be self-satire...I can live with that, but I could have done without it."
The Air references in Lucky Channel were great, but I was so tired when I saw it, I couldn't figure out what they were referencing! I'm a huge fan of Air, so I'm very ashamed of myself, but I'm blaming it on the fact that I hadn't had my nap.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Four South Koreans and a Nigerian working for a Korean company in Nigeria's oil-rich southern delta have been abducted, Nigerian police said Tuesday, highlighting the high number of kidnappings in Africa's most populous nation.
The attack occurred at about 3 p.m. Monday in the Brass area of Bayelsa state, said police spokesman Fidelis Odunna.
Gunmen ambushed the men who work for Korea-based Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. at a construction site, said South Korean Foreign Ministry official Cho Tai-ying. He said the victims were preparing for the construction of factories.
Spokesman Odunna said six people were initially taken from the site, but a Nigerian was freed just over an hour after the attack, leaving five colleagues in captivity. Police suspect he was set free because he is from the area where the kidnapping occurred. They say they have not received a ransom request and are investigating the attack.
"We want to ensure the safety of expatriates in Bayelsa state," said Odunna, adding that there was no hired security at the site where the victims had been working.
The kidnapping comes on the heels of the Dec. 9 abduction of Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's mother in nearby Delta State. Kamene Okonjo, 83, was freed five days later and authorities declined to say if a ransom was paid.
Kidnappings for ransoms are frequent in Nigeria's oil-rich delta. Experts say kidnappers who once targeted mainly expatriate oil workers have shifted their focus to wealthy Nigerian families in recent years.
However, a lack of trust in the ability of security forces to free the captives mean that many cases go unreported.
"Even as we thank God, we cannot forget so many Nigerians who have gone through the same terrible experience either as victims or families or friends of victims. Words are not enough to describe the sheer horror of the experience," said minister Okonjo-Iweala at a press conference Monday. "The best way to honor the victims and families is to ensure that there is greater focus on kidnapping and progress in combatting it."

Nelson Mandela you may be gone, but your dreams, aspirations and legacy lives on. You were a leader like none. You treated everyone equally in spite of their race, color or position in society. It is through you that whites and blacks learned to live and work together. Today you are no more, but we, the youths of today will try to emulate you and continue the fight for a better tomorrow. You have done your part and did it greatly. It's now up to me and my fellow youths around the world to soldier on the fighter and keep the fire burning. You will be greatly missed by all.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The West Coast Conference announced its 2009 Spring All-Academic Team today. Santa Clara was represented by seven student-athletes from the six spring sports. For the year, 25 Broncos were named all-academic, which was good for second in the conference. Portland narrowly surpassed SCU with 26 honorees.
To be considered, a student-athlete must earn at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, be a significant contributor to his or her team, have at least sophomore athletic and academic standing with at least one year in residence completed at the nominating institution, and participate in at least 50 percent of the institution's completed contests.
Women's golf led the way with four players honored. Juniors Jamie Nonaka and Erin Sullivan were joined by sophomores Miki Ueoka and Katie Sharpe. The quartet, while posting superior marks in the classroom, helped the Broncos to two team titles this season and the program's lowest round ever (294).
Nonaka had her best finish of the year - tied for 16th - at the Cal Poly Coast BMW College Challenge in October. She also posted her best round of the season (78) twice, most recently at the Aztec Invitational in February. As a marketing major, Nonaka has compiled a 3.62 grade-point average thus far. Sullivan posted her best finish of the year - tied for 15th - at the Sacramento State Invitational in March. The Broncos won that tournament. Sullivan has a 3.74 GPA as a business major.
Sharpe competed in seven tournaments for the Broncos and posted her best finish of the year - tied for 11th - at the Sac State Invitational. She tied for 17th at the WCC Championships, where she produced her lowest round of the year, 76. Sharpe has a 3.33 GPA. Ueoka also earned CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District VIII At-Large Third Team accolades with a 3.49 cumulative GPA as a biochemistry major. She won three individual titles in 2009 and became the first-ever Santa Clara women's golfer to qualify for the NCAA Regionals.
Baseball sophomores Thain Simon and Curtis Wagner earned their first WCC All-Academic honors. Simon made 12 starts on the mound for the Broncos and posted a 3-5 record. He struck out 51 batters on the season, while compiling a 3.70 GPA as a finance major. Wagner earned a starting role at first base in 2009 and more than doubled his runs and doubles tally from his rookie season. He posted a team-leading .992 fielding percentage and was tied for first on the team in walks. He compiled a 3.77 GPA as a business major.
Women's tennis sophomore Ashley Pane rounded out the SCU selections. Pane compiled a 12-6 singles record this spring, with a seven game win streak from Feb. 19-Apr. 4, playing mostly in the No. 4 and No. 5 spots. In doubles action, she went 11-15 with Stephanie Galainena. The Sacramento native has compiled a 3.26 GPA thus far as a political science major.
Thain Simon - So. - 3.70 GPA - Finance
Curtis Wagner - So. - 3.77 GPA - Business
Women's Golf
Jamie Nonaka - Jr. - 3.62 GPA - Marketing
Katie Sharpe - So. - 3.33 GPA - Undeclared
Erin Sullivan - Jr. - 3.74 GPA - Business
Miki Ueoka - So. - 3.49 GPA - Biochemistry
Women's Tennis
Ashley Pane - So. - 3.26 GPA - Political Science

Dog dies in house fire
A Hickory family's pet died Thursday in a house fire.
The dog was inside the house, located at 1959 16th St. NE in Hickory, when a fire broke out in the basement.
No one was at home when the fire started, but one of the residents returned home at 10:07 a.m. and smelled smoke, said Terri Byers with the Hickory Fire Department.
Thirteen Hickory firefighters arrived on the scene with two engines, one ladder truck and one command vehicle. They found flames in the basement, as well as smoke and heat damage on the first floor.
A water pipe in the basement burst from the heat, and water spewing from the pipe helped contain the flames, Byers said.
The fire was under control by 10:18 a.m., and firefighters used ventilation fans to remove smoke from the remainder of the house.
Hickory Police Department and Catawba County EMS also responded to the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but Byers estimated damage inside the house was "heavy."
"If you look at if from the outside it doesn't really look like there's much damage," Byers said. "But the family won't be able to stay there for awhile."
Firefighters helped the family bury the dog, but there were no human injuries during the fire.

USC DL commitment Abu Lamin of Fort Scott JC, KS insists he's 100% with his commitment to USC calling the strength of the pledge a 10 on a scale of 10. But Tennessee, Alabama and Auburn continue to recruit him.
Lamin has one official visit opportunity left and said Wednesday night he'll decide in a week or two if he'll take it. Right now he said that visit likely would go to Tennessee.
Lamin said he's in weekly contact with USC talking with Steve Spurrier and Deke Adams. "They're telling me they can't wait till I come in and work and get in the system," said Lamin who is playing the nose and three technique this season. "It's a strong, firm commitment."
Lamin has not been to USC this season. He said he may try to get there over the Thanksgiving weekend when he's home in Fayetteville, NC.
