Taking the symbolism of the number '14' as a starting point, we saw it fitting that the theme of the 14th conference should be BACH.
At the same time, we wish to uphold the fundamental concept of the conference and welcome papers which explore any aspect of Baroque music.
The conference will be held over five days and will include around 150 presentations in 4 parallel sessions, in the form of individual papers and round-table discussions.
Accompanying events include a "Delegates' Recital", a "Come and Sing" event and a concert of Irish traditional music which will showcase the unique collections of 18th-century musical materials held at Queen's University. Delegates will also have the opportunity to discover some of Northern Ireland's attractions.
A wide range of books on music will be exhibited and offered for sale by Rosemary Dooley and Ashgate Publishing.

Here are a few images of Sony's latest compact cameras, as well as the company's is-it-wonderful-or-is-it-insane "Party Dock" product.
The cameras have a new type of sensor, which Sony reckons will massively cut down on the noise you experience when cranking up the ISO in low light conditions. There's also a selection of blur-reducing tools for similar situations.
The full specs are in our main news post on the subject, but during our brief play with the devices, we actually really enjoyed the well-implemented sweep panorama feature. We didn't get to test the low-light effectiveness, but have been promised a taste of that before they go on sale in September.
Oh, and the Party Shot is brilliant. Though massively paranoia-inducing. We were shown it in a small group, and everyone switched to trying to smile and talk at the same time when it was pointing at them. You just have to forget it's there, really. It has 10-11 hours of battery life, Sony says, which sounds to us like one hell of a party.
The TX1 will cost £330, with the WX1 setting you back £350. The Party Shot costs £130, but only works with the TX1 and WX1, so you'll be shelling out the best part of £500 if you want one at your next all-night-rave. All will arrive in September.

(Reuters) - Programmable-chip maker Altera Corp forecast current-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates, citing fewer orders for its telecom and wireless products, sending its shares down 5 percent after the bell.
Altera, which also reported lower-than-expected sales for the quarter ended September 27, forecast current-quarter revenue to be down 3 percent to up 1 percent, compared with the third quarter.
That implies fourth-quarter revenue of between $432.5 million and $450.5 million. Analysts on average were expecting revenue of $474.5 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Altera forecast revenue in its telecom and wireless business, the company's biggest, to be flat.
"There was a belief that the China Mobile build out was going to drive more revenues," RBC Capital Markets analyst Doug Freedman told Reuters.
Altera's two biggest customers, Huawei Technologies Co Ltd and ZTE Corp, have secured more than half of China Mobile's initial 4G contracts worth about 20 billion yuan ($3.2 billion), sources said in August.
There was an expectation that it was going to show in their revenues "but it clearly is not," Doug added.
Semiconductor chips made by Altera and Xilinx are sold off the shelf and can be programmed by customers to do specific tasks, eliminating hefty expenses to develop custom chips.
Xilinx forecast current-quarter revenue largely below Wall Street estimates last week and said its overall growth rate of the wireless business would be offset in part by a "business transition" at one of its large European customers.
Analysts speculated the large customer could be Ericsson, and they expect Altera to gain from Ericsson's move.
However, on being asked by Nomura Equity Research analyst Romit Shah in a post-earnings conference call, Chief Executive John Daane said "we would expect that there will be more ramp transitions over time that will benefit Altera from a market share perspective, but there is nothing specifically that happened in the third calendar quarter or in the fourth calendar quarter."
Altera's net income fell to $119.4 million, or 37 cents per share, in the third quarter, from $157.5 million, 49 cents per share, a year earlier.
Revenue fell 10 percent to $445.9 million.
Revenue from the telecom and wireless business decreased to 41 percent to $182.8 million.
Analysts on average had expected earnings of 34 cents per share on revenue of $451.8 million.
Altera shares fell to $35.50 in extended trading after closing at $37.32 on the Nasdaq on Tuesday.

The departure of Barrow County's first county manager less than a year into his job was unfortunate, but Jock Connell made a valid point about the necessity of a "good fit," according Sen. Frank Ginn, who served as Franklin County's first county manager before joining the state senate in 2011.
"It's obviously a big setback for Barrow County and the citizens of Barrow," he said. "I think Jock had a lot of talents and experience he brought to the job. I don't know exactly what the friction was, or what the issue was, but what I saw was that the difficulty was like having an uncomfortable pair of shoes. If you don't have a good fit, it's uncomfortable on both parts. I don't know what the expectations were on both ends. But I'm sure there was enough friction between the two parts where it wasn't working."
On the other hand, Sen. Ginn said he knows from personal experience that if a manager can survive the first year, a successful transition to a new form of government is possible.
"I worked through the blisters and pain and the discomfort of that first year," he said. "It was just bold determination."

I want to wish everyone a very happy and loving Thanksgiving. I know that many family historians are busy in the kitchen today, which is, in itself, a way of keeping the family history alive. We transmit memories along with our recipes and our holiday customs. But, don't miss the chance to do two other important tasks: share family stories and record memories of this day. In our quest to record the past, we family historians often forget the present. Make a record of your Thanksgiving recipes, and ask those who brought their dishes and desserts to do the same. If you are hosting and are too busy to sit and talk with guests, appoint a child or relative as "historian of the day," whose job it is to both record the moment and listen for stories of the past. Give a restless young relative a video camera and a mission--to produce a family documentary for your Facebook page.
Tomorrow, Friday, November 26th, is an important day for family historians in the USA. StoryCorps, the national oral history project, has designated the day after Thanksgiving as the "National Day of Listening." Their aim is to encourage everyone to take an hour out of the day tomorrow to record a conversation with a loved one.
StoryCorps itself has recorded oral histories of over 60,000 Americans, mostly ordinary citizens. The oral histories the Corps collect are on file at the Library of Congress.
Don't have a relative at the ready for recording? Record yourself. Write down a few memories. Many a memoir began with one small paragraph. Take that step today and generations will thank you for it!

In our time here running the MILF Hunter blog, we have seen many beautiful mature ladies. But we must say that this MILF had an exceptionally nice booty. And the sex in the Sofia Bella MILF Hunter episode Soccer MILF was also very impressive. It featured Reality Kings new regular Levi Cash and initially started in a soccer gear shop where Sophia was scoping the goods for her son's team. She knew she was strapped for cash, but Levi was going to help her get what she needed. That is, as long as this Soccer MILF helped him get what he needed to. And that would be, to bust a nut.
After some negotiating, it was clear that Sophia Bella was inline with what Levi thought was a deal. First she showed off her big nice tits, and we were very impressed. But when she pulled down her pants and revealed that ass, we were totally blown away. He could wait to go head first into this soccer MILF. Levi pulled out his cock and Sopia went straight to sucking. It was a MILF Hunter blow job for the ages. After that, Levi stroked that mature MILF pussy and Sophia Bella loved it. Once he knew she had cum, he pulled out his dick and blew his load all over her face. Sophia just gave a big smile and licked it all up. That's how a true veteran does it. We hope you enjoy the free MILF video above. Be sure to check out the full length video at the official site. It is more than worth it.

Javier Hernandez dropped by Mexico
Miguel Herrera will leave Javier Hernandez out of his Mexico squad for the nation's upcoming friendlies in order for the Manchester United striker to decide where his club future lies.
- Sources: Di Maria on verge of United move
- Payne: Change the watchword at United
- Mitten: Twisted words amid transfer tales
Hernandez, 26, struggled for game time under David Moyes last season, and scored just four goals in 24 Premier League appearances last season.
Herrera told ESPN FC earlier this month that the striker should leave Old Trafford in order to kickstart his career, and the El Tri coach has now decided to give Hernandez time to find a solution before the transfer window shuts.
"I had a word with him and we agreed that the best thing was to wait, most of all so he can stay where he is and decide his future," Herrera told Mediotiempo, according to Sky Sports. "It's not good for him, and nor for me, to have him in the team if he has his mind on what could happen with him.
"We are both calm, we are not in any hurry. We took the decision together so he can wait and see if there is a transfer or if he will stay there at Manchester."
Hernandez's agent Eduardo Hernandez was coy on the striker's future, saying: "For the moment we don't have any news from Manchester, neither for if he is going to continue playing there nor if they are going to negotiate his departure."
Herrera believes a move away from the Red Devils would benefit Hernandez, saying: "I think [Chicharito] needs to leave. I think [Juventus] would be a good option for him. When a coach doesn't want you -- when you have your best experience, your best moment with them, and now the coach that wanted you is no longer there -- it's time to move.
"I think there are a lot of opportunities. They are not bad opportunities. If he goes to Juventus that would be an extraordinary team. Without a doubt, it would be a nice change for him. Hopefully he'll see more minutes."

When Barry University men's golf team tees it up next week at the Brickyard Invitational to begin the 2012-13 season, there will be an added incentive.
Yeah, every year the goal remains the same: shoot for the top and keep the scores low. That's every golf team's quest. This year for the Buccaneers, the drive to perform amped itself up a notch from the carry-over effect.
Four starters return from a team that advanced to the NCAA Division II National Championships. They left with an appearance in the quarterfinal round of match play. That wasn't good enough. With lofty expectations and a renewed sense of redemption at the forefront of this Bucs squad's agenda, the anticipation for 2012-13 grew exponentially immediately after Barry parted ways from Louisville last May.
"The team is anxious to get back to playing in tournaments and settle some unfinished business," Bucs head coach Jimmy Stobs said. "We were ranked No. 1 for most of the spring, but came up short at the national championship."
Whether the Bucs, who enter the 2012-13 season ranked No. 2 in the Golf World/Nike national Division II poll, settle that business or not remains to be seen. One thing is for certain, it starts with the veterans who've already tasted national tournament spoils.
"We have two seniors and possibly three juniors that will make up the projected lineup," Buccaneers 11-year coach Jimmy Stobs said. "All five have experience at a high level."
That quintet begins with the Swedish seniors.
Senior Marcus Segerstrom, a Ping honorable mention All-American, All-South Region and Second-Team All-Sunshine State Conference selection as a junior, carried a 73.22 stroke average last year. He tied the school record for low round, shooting a 65. He tied for third at the Matlock Collegiate Classic with a 4-under 212. Segerstrom, who hails from Nocetalje, Sweden, tied for seventh at the South/Southeast Super Regional after carding a 3-under 213.
Senior Simon Forsslund returns for his second year with the Buccaneers program. Last year, the Stockholm, Sweden native won the first tournament he competed in, collecting the Nova Southeastern Shark Invitational individual trophy, following a 5-under 211 to anchor Barry's team title at the event. Forsslund held a 74.61 stroke average as a junior.
Junior Scott Smyers, an All-South Region and honorable mention All-SSC choice as a sophomore, placed second at the Matlock Classic with a 6-under 210 last season. He tied for fourth at the Buccaneer Invitational after shooting 5-under 208. Smyers, who hails from Lakeland, Fla., maintained a 73.84 stroke average which ranked third on the team in 2011-12.
Junior Marcelo Huarte, an honorable mention All-American, also tied the school record for low round after firing a 65 in the first round of the Buccaneer Invitational last spring. He tied with Smyers for fourth place in Barry's home event. A Miami native, Huarte tied for 15th at the NCAA Championships, and also placed seventh at the Southeastern Intercollegiate. He carried a 74.41 stroke average.
Junior transfer Jared Dalga, who played for a year-and-a-half at Eastern Michigan, was third at Notre Dame's Gridiron Classic last fall. He also finished third at the Firestone Invitational. Dalga had a 72.3 stroke average in the fall portion of his sophomore season.
Sophomore Nelson da Silva Ramos, who was enrolled at New Mexico before transferring to Barry last year, is also trying to crack into the lineup. Ramos did not compete last season for the Buccaneers. Junior Jaime Rodriguez, a Miami product who appeared in two events in each of his first two seasons at Barry, is another itching to compete amongst the starting five. Stobs made clear before the season that all spots were open, and that no one was given a free pass.
That means sophomore Berry Jole, a Rysuhout, Netherlands product who shot 68 in the first round of the Buccaneer Invitational last spring, also enters the season with a chance to compete. As does sophomore John Yu, a Fresh Meadows, N.Y. product who competed twice while wearing the Buccaneers gear last year, and freshmen Eirik Groenhaug, a Kolnes, Norway native who was the No. 17-ranked junior in his country, Chris Howard, an IMG match play champion from Bury Lancashire, England, and Nico Cavero, of Doral, Fla., who won the individual district title in high school.
"Four of the starting five from last year's team are back. They were disappointed in the way we finished the season and want to prove that they are a championship team who can handle the pressure," Stobs said. "They want to experience a championship, but realize that it won't be handed to them. They must earn it.
"Losing (All-American) Daniel (Stapff) to graduation is part of the business. He was a great player, but now it's time for others to step up and do their job. We have very capable players that are ready to do just that. Marcus and Simon enter their senior years with a professional career looming. They need to lay the foundation for which they will build upon once they graduate and move on. Marcelo and Scott are now comfortable with their positions on the team, and are expected to continue to work hard and get better."
If they continue to improve, and in turn the Bucs as a whole continue to get better, what does all that mean in the long run, you ask?
"The 2012-13 team will once again be in the mix for the national championship. It is a long season, and we intend to use it to get better each and every tournament. When we get another chance to be great, I expect the guys will rise to the occasion."

For Dhara, her journey into the world of yoga began at the age of 13 when she accidentally came across a book of asanas in her fathers library. Not knowing the true art, science and philosophy of this ancient wisdom, she innocently kept replicating the asanas in the book secretly in her room. The freedom and joy she felt doing those poses back then led her to dream about teaching Yoga when she grows up to be an old lady. But destiny had plans for her to follow the dreams much sooner than what she had dreamed.
Always a fitness and dance enthusiast, Dhara while pursuing her International Marketing Masters from Strathclyde University in Glasgow kept her passion for fitness alive by running, weight training and kayaking in her university campus. Once back in India she dabbled with corporate jobs for a couple of years before her childhood dream of being a 'Yoga Therapist' caught on. She pursued an advanced teachers training course from The Yoga Institute, Santacruz and another Diploma course from the university of Mumbai. A born yogi, she realized that her life was naturally following the philosophy of yoga with her food habits (Vegan) and her belief system (The power to cure, to heal, to lead a balanced, healthy and wholesome life is completely in our hands).
Dhara believes in a holistic approach to yoga that is combined with other healing modalities like Reiki, Fairyology, Angel Therapy and Deep guided hypnotherapy meditations. Her classes follow an intuitive style of Hatha and Vinyasa, which are fun and lively combined with core strengthening ab circuits and intense variations. Her belief is that each individual has the same finish line to go to but their starting lines are unique to each one of them and she endeavors to provide the maximum health and spiritual benefits according to their uniqueness.

Just kidding! He sang a song called "We Saw Your Boobs," all about which actresses' bare breasts have been in movies. This is your Snow White number, Seth. (As a fun game, count how many actresses he mentions in this song who are portraying rape victims.) Ha, ha, ha, ha, breasts — it's not like women in film do other things, right?

Football Practice - Aug. 3, 2013
The Demon Deacons took to the field for the second practice of fall camp
History is on the horizon for head coach Jim Grobe, who enters his 13th season at the helm of the Demon Deacons only four wins away from reaching the top of Wake Forest's all-time wins chart.
In 12 seasons, Grobe has built a football program that has been to bowl games in four of the last seven years and proven itself to be an annual contender for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship. His 73 wins as head coach at Wake Forest are only four behind "Peahead" Walker's 77 wins from 1937-50 for the most in school history.
Grobe has taken the Deacons where no previous Wake Forest football coach has gone. He has led the Deacons to more bowl games, more eight-win seasons, and more bowl victories than any coach in school history. Grobe and the Deacons put together a three-year streak of winning seasons (2006-08), a feat which had not been accomplished in over 50 years. The Deacons' 33 wins from 2006-09 were the most wins ever during a four-year period of Wake Forest football.
The success of the Deacons over the last 12 seasons comes as no surprise to those who have watched Grobe build the Wake Forest program from the ground up. He turned the Deacons into a championship team within his first six seasons.
There have been numerous notable achievements by Grobe and his staff. Among those are the 11 wins and the ACC Championship claimed by the 2006 team, along with a trip to the FedEx Orange Bowl. Linebacker Aaron Curry and punter Ryan Plackemeier have been honored with national awards signifying their supremacy as the best player in the nation at their position.
Grobe led Wake Forest through a challenging 2012 slate that saw the Demon Deacons face a number of the nation's best teams, including Clemson, Florida State and BCS National Championship Game participant Notre Dame. Wake Forest finished with a 5-7 record, with the most memorable win coming on a stormy afternoon in September that saw the Deacons rally in the final minutes to edge archrival North Carolina 28-27. Wake Forest took care of the ball - a Grobe trademark - leading the ACC with a +8 turnover margin. Tommy Bohanon was picked by the New York Jets in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft, and Chibuikem Okoro signed as a free agent with the San Diego Chargers.
The 2011 season saw the Deacons return to a bowl game for the fourth time in six years as the team went to the Franklin American Mortgage Company Music City Bowl and put together a 5-3 ACC record as well as a 6-7 overall record during a turnaround season. Wake Forest set a school record for passing yards (3,291) and again took care of the ball well, tying for first nationally with national champion Alabama in fewest fumbles lost (4) and surrendering just 12 turnovers to tie for third in the country.
Four Demon Deacons were taken in the 2012 NFL Draft - Chris Givens, Joe Looney and Kyle Wilber in the fourth round and Josh Bush in the sixth round.
In 2010, Grobe guided a young Deacon squad through a rigorous schedule. The highlight of the season came in a thrilling 54-48 victory over Duke, which set a number of scoring records. The win was also Grobe's 10th-straight over the Blue Devils.
The 2009 season, which ended with a 5-7 record, was Wake Forest's first sub-.500 season since 2005. But the Deacons were oh-so-close to having far more W's than L's in 2009.
The Deacons lost a pair of road overtime games by three points each, at Boston College and at Georgia Tech. The Deacs were one play away from OT wins in both games. Wake also dropped a three-point decision at home to Baylor, yielded a late touchdown to Miami in a 28-27 loss and dropped a 13-10 decision at Navy in a driving rainstorm. Wake Forest's seniors graduated with 33 career wins, the most victories of any class in school history.
Wake Forest's offense was one of the most productive in school history. The Deacons rolled up nearly 5,000 yards of total offense behind senior quarterback Riley Skinner. Skinner set school records for the most passing yards and passing touchdowns in a season.
Cornerback Brandon Ghee and offensive tackle Chris DeGeare were both selected in the 2010 NFL Draft, while Skinner and defensive tackles John Russell and Boo Robinson signed free agent contracts.
In 2008, Grobe led the Deacons to an 8-5 record and a victory over Navy in the inaugural EagleBank Bowl.
In April of 2009, the NFL drafted four seniors from Wake Forest's stellar defense, marking the most Deacons taken in a single NFL Draft in over 50 years. Aaron Curry was the fourth player selected in the first round of the draft after having won the Butkus Award as the nation's best linebacker.
Cornerback Alphonso Smith was a second round pick to Denver after being the only ACC player named a consensus All-America in 2008. Safety Chip Vaughn and linebacker Stanley Arnoux were drafted by the eventual Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints.
Wake Forest's success in 2007 was not limited to the field. The Deacons had their first Academic All-America football player in 25 years when offensive tackle Louis Frazier was named to the first team.
Wake's defense held opponents to less than 300 yards of total offense in 2008, the best performance since 1964. The defense led the nation in takeaways while the special teams excelled by topping all Division I institutions in punt return defense.
Wake Forest was successful in 2007 because of an efficient offense and an opportunistic defense. The Deacons led the nation in non-offensive touchdowns, scoring on six interception returns, two fumble returns, a kickoff return and a punt return. Wake's eight defensive touchdowns were also the most of any FBS team in the country. Offensively, the Deacons set a school record for the most points scored in a season and tied the school mark with 44 touchdowns.
The 2006 season was one to remember for all Wake Forest fans. Grobe led Wake Forest to its second-ever ACC Championship and its first since 1970. The Deacons won the ACC's Atlantic Division title after being picked to finish last by the league's media in the preseason.
The 11 wins posted by the 2006 team set a school record as Wake was the most improved team in the nation, following a 4-7 record in 2005. The Deacs were ranked in the AP top 25 for nine straight weeks in 2006, the longest streak in school history and beat Florida State in Tallahassee for the first time since 1959 while posting their first win over N.C. State in Raleigh since 1984.
Grobe's hard work was rewarded by his unanimous selection as the ACC Coach of the Year. He was selected as the National Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association, the Bobby Dodd Foundation, the Associated Press, The Sporting News and CBSSports.com.

Football observers have recognized Grobe's efforts in transforming Wake Forest into one of the rising programs, not just in the ACC, but on a regional and national level.
The levels of excitement and expectation surrounding Demon Deacon football have reached unprecedented heights. That is a tribute to Grobe and his staff who believe the best is yet to come.
Grobe, 59, has gained a national reputation as a builder of programs.
In 10 seasons, Grobe's teams have won 62 contests, earned four bowl berths and won an ACC Championship.
That is particularly impressive given the recent ACC expansion that introduced three nationally-prominent programs to the league.
Even with the rising level of play in the conference, making the ACC one of the nation's best football leagues, Wake Forest has become even more competitive and successful.
Football observers have already recognized Grobe's efforts in transforming Wake into one of the rising programs, not just in the ACC, but on a regional and national basis.
"Ever since Jim Grobe arrived in Winston-Salem, this program has been soaring upward," ESPN's Ron Franklin said.
Long before Wake Forest's breakout season in 2006, the Deacons had performed very well against in-state opponents. Since Grobe's arrival, Wake Forest has defeated every Division I opponent in the state, including a 5-0 mark against East Carolina, 10-0 vs. Duke, 4-2 vs. North Carolina, 5-5 vs. NC State, plus victories against I-AA Appalachian State, Elon and North Carolina A&T. In all, Grobe's Deacons are 27-7 against in-state teams.
In short, Grobe has put Wake Forest in position to be extremely competitive in one of America's best football leagues, the ACC, for many years to come.
* * *
Grobe owns a 62-60 record after 10 years at Wake Forest, 95-93-1 in 16 overall seasons as a head coach.Before Grobe arrived at WFU, the Deacons went a combined 37-75 in the 10 previous years.
The 2006 ACC Championship season was certainly a magical one, but it was years in the making.
Grobe began his Wake Forest tenure in impressive fashion, orchestrating one of the greatest turnarounds in program history. While laying the foundation for future gridiron success, he led his first squad to a bowl-eligible 6-5 record after Wake Forest went 2-9 the previous season.
The win over Virginia, Grobe's alma mater, was Wake Forest's first over the Cavaliers since 1983. The 32-31 win at North Carolina came after the Deacons trailed the Tar Heels 24-0 at halftime.
A win over Northern Illinois in the 2001 season finale secured the winning season and made Wake Forest eligible for a bowl berth. Grobe became just the eighth rookie head coach at WFU to post a winning record in his first year.
All five losses in 2001 came to bowl-bound teams. In three of those losses - vs. Maryland, NC State and Clemson - the Deacs had the ball with good field position and with a chance to tie or take the lead late in the game.
The 2001 Deacon team averaged 221.6 yards rushing per game - an increase of over 70 yards per game from the previous season. The Deacons led the ACC in rushing, edging out BCS-bound Maryland for first place and averaged 401.6 yards of total offense per game.
In his second campaign, he guided the Deacs to a 38-17 victory in the Seattle Bowl in front of a national television audience against an Oregon team loaded with NFL talent and that was once ranked as high as sixth in the country.
Grobe became just the second coach in Wake Forest history, joining John Mackovic, to lead the Deacons to a bowl appearance in his second season at the helm.
Impressive road wins over Purdue and Georgia Tech, in addition to a 31-0 shutout of rival North Carolina, highlighted the 2002 regular season campaign. The year was capped off with the victory over Oregon in Seattle to give WFU its second straight winning season for the first time since the 1987-88 seasons.
Once again, Wake Forest led the ACC in rushing (241.2 ypg) and also averaged a league-high 408.1 yards of total offense per game in 2002. It marked the first time WFU led the ACC in total offense since 1979.
In what many termed a rebuilding year, Grobe got the 2003 edition of Deacon football off to an exciting 2-0 start, with a road win at Boston College and a home victory over 11th-ranked NC State, his first win over a ranked opponent at Wake Forest. That led to another career first for Grobe, as the Deacs themselves earned a national ranking the following week.
Grobe reached another milestone in the 2003 season, recording his 50th career victory with a 42-13 win at Duke.
In 2004, the Deacons fielded a very young team that competed hard each week and captured the imagination of Deacon fans, as the single season attendance record was broken for the third straight year.
Wake knocked off bowl-bound BC for the second straight season. The Deacons posted a three-game winning streak in September, its first such streak since 1992.
Wake Forest seemed to be on the verge of bursting onto the national scene each week, as the Deacons were tied or leading in nine of the 11 games. The Deacons had a chance to knock off eventual ACC Champion Virginia Tech and fifth-ranked Florida State at BB&T Field, but lost both games by a combined 10 points. Against a treacherous schedule in the newly-expanded ACC, Wake Forest posted a 4-7 record.
Five Deacons earned All-ACC honors, including first team selections Chris Barclay and Ryan Plackemeier.
The 2005 Deacs had 26 freshmen and sophomores in the two-deep roster. Wake Forest showed flashes of brilliance with victories against NC State and Clemson, but could not overcome inexperience and a slow start, finishing 4-7.
For the fourth time in five seasons, the Deacons led the ACC in rushing.
Individually, Barclay led the ACC in rushing during the regular season for a third straight year, becoming the first player in the long history of the league to accomplish that feat. In doing so, he broke the school's all-time rushing record and was chosen as the ACC's Player of the Year, the first Deacon player to do that in 26 years.
Plackemeier earned consensus All-America honors and won the Ray Guy Award as the nation's top punter. Josh Gattis was a second-team All-ACC pick.
The magical ACC Championship season of 2006 was well-chronicled. Redshirt freshman QB Riley Skinner, who stepped into the starting role during week two, became the ACC's Rookie of the Year and a second team All-ACC pick.
Seniors Josh Gattis and Steve Vallos, junior Jon Abbate and Steve Justice and sophomore Sam Swank were all first team All-ACC selections. Seniors Patrick Ghee and Jyles Tucker were honorable mention.
Grobe was the unanimous choice by the media as the ACC Coach of the Year. He was selected as the National Coach of the Year by his peers, the American Football Coaches Association, in addition to the Bobby Dodd Foundation and the Associated Press.
When asked about his accomplishments or his coaching style, Grobe deflects his success to his players and to his coaching staff who he frequently refers to as, "the best coaching staff in America."
* * *
Grobe wasted no time in assembling his staff after he was hired at Wake Forest on Dec. 11, 2000. He brought eight assistants with him from Ohio, five of whom enter their ninth season at Wake Forest.
For most of the staff, their loyalty to Grobe and each other pre-dates their days in Winston-Salem or even Athens. It's a brand of loyalty and stability rarely seen in college football.
Assistant head coach Billy Mitchell has coached alongside Grobe since 1984 at Air Force. A few years later, they successfully recruited a high school player named Steed Lobotzke who eventually earned two letters and took a job as a graduate assistant at the Academy. Today, he is Wake Forest's offensive coordinator.
Recruiting coordinator Ray McCartney and defensive ends coach Keith Henry both joined Grobe's staff at Ohio in 1995 and have served alongside him ever since.
Brian Knorr and Steve Russ both have long ties to Grobe. Knorr was a quarterback at Air Force while Grobe was coaching the Falcon linebackers. Russ was a standout linebacker with Grobe as his position coach.
Since Grobe arrived at Wake Forest in 2001, only five assistant coaches have left. Troy Calhoun, Wake Forest's two-year offensive coordinator, left and is now the head coach at the Air Force Academy.
Wake's seven-year defensive coordinator, Dean Hood, became the head coach at Eastern Kentucky following the 2007 season.
Quarterbacks coach Jeff Mullen was named the offensive coordinator at West Virginia upon the hiring of Bill Stewart in 2008. And Brad Lambert, who was the Deacon's defensive coordinator for three seasons, was named the first head coach at UNC Charlotte in the spring of 2011.
Since arriving at Wake Forest, Grobe has hired Tom Elrod, a former Deacon quarterback who served as a graduate assistant during Grobe's first season in 2001. Tim Billings joined the staff prior to the 2006 season. The former head coach at Southeast Missouri State, Billings spent 10 years at Marshall and overlapped during that time with Lambert. Grobe's most recent hire is Lonnie Galloway, who joined the Deacons in the spring of 2011. Galloway will coach the wide receivers and serve as the co-passing game coordinator with Elrod.
* * *
Grobe came to Wake Forest after turning a struggling Ohio University program into a contender for the Mid-American Conference championship.
In the 10 seasons before Grobe left his assistant's position at the Air Force Academy to become Ohio University's head coach, the Bobcats won 17 games. In the six years under Grobe, they won 33 and finished with winning records in the Mid-American Conference five straight seasons.
Grobe coached at Ohio for six years (1995-2000). After taking over the reigns of a program that went 0-11 and was ranked last among Division I-A programs in 1994, Grobe led the Bobcats to a cumulative six-year record of 33-33-1.
"I was fortunate to play for and coach with some outstanding people," Grobe said. "Everything I know I learned from someone else. Qualities like hard work, loyalty, discipline and toughness are things we take pride in at Wake Forest.
"At the same time, I don't think any team or staff has more fun playing or coaching than our guys."
In 2000, Grobe's final season with the Bobcats, Ohio posted impressive victories over bowl teams Minnesota and Marshall and closed the season by winning five of its last six games. Statistically, the Bobcats ranked in the top 30 nationally in 2000 in rushing offense (323.0 ypg), 18th in fewest turnovers lost (18), 20th in scoring defense (18.9 ppg), 25th in total offense (418.1 ypg) and 30th in scoring offense (31.18 ppg). The Bobcats also ranked high nationally in two special teams categories - fourth in net punting (39.7 ypp) and 39th in punting returns (11.95 ypr). Grobe's team produced the best fourth down conversion numbers in the MAC.
"We see nothing but good things happening for our program," director of athletics Ron Wellman said at Grobe's hiring. "Jim Grobe is a good fit for Wake Forest in what he believes about the academic process and the importance of education and graduating his players."
Grobe also worked previously as an assistant coach at Marshall (1979-83) for head coach Sonny Randle and at Emory & Henry (1978) for head coach Jerry Kirk. He began his coaching career at his alma mater, Virginia, in 1975 after talking head coach Sonny Randle into hiring him as a graduate assistant.
One year later, he was head coach at Liberty High School in Bedford, Va., from 1976-77.
As a player at Virginia in 1973 under coach Don Lawrence and 1974 under Randle, Grobe played middle guard (1973) and linebacker (1974). He was a two-year starter and was named Academic All-ACC.
Before enrolling at Virginia, Grobe played under coach Hank Norton for two seasons at Ferrum (VA) Junior College, where he played linebacker on the undefeated Coastal Conference championship team. Grobe earned the Catlin Citizenship Award and the Big Green Award. In the fall of 2002, Grobe was inducted into the Ferrum College Hall of Fame.
"I don't know if there's anybody who loves the game more than I do," Grobe said. "I'd still rather be playing. The players don't get it, but I tell them that all the time. I'm just a big kid who can't play anymore."
Grobe was born on Feb. 17, 1952. A native of Huntington, W.Va., Grobe earned his undergraduate degree (B.S.) in education from Virginia in 1975 and earned a master's degree in guidance and counseling from Virginia in 1978.
Grobe and his wife, Holly, have two sons, Matt and Ben.
Matt was recently hired as the head men's golf coach at his alma mater Marshall University. He and his wife, Melanie, have a daughter, Mackenzie (14), and a son, Cameron (10).
Ben graduated from Ohio University in 2002 where he played football and earned a degree in Health Care Administration. In 2012, Ben was named the Assistant Director of Football Operations at Charlotte. Ben and his wife Nicole were married in the summer of 2012.

R. G. LeTourneau felt that he was clearly led by to to business as his calling. The workplace was his mission field. It was as "God's businessman" that he pursued his reason for existence: to glorify God and spread the Gospel message.
His ministry, however, was not limited to business enterprises. At his own expense, he founded missionary efforts in Liberia, Africa and Peru, South America that encompassed evangelistic as well as economic initiatives. He traveled around the nation and the world preaching and sharing his testimony at his own expense as well. Visitors to the R. G. LeToruneau Museum frequently recall the impact these messages had on them and their family members.
Mr. LeTourneau always felt that his lasting spiritual legacy would be the college he and his wife founded in Longview, Texas in 1946. The college--now LeTourneau University--continues to hold to its spiritual foundations and has produced more than 20,000 alumni who are faithfully serving the Lord in all 50 states and 40 nations. The mission continues to grow and thrive as LeTourneau alumni claim every workplace in every nation as their mission field.

I was a bit skeptical of this tuner, since a lot of them have huge promises, but I got a great price on it through AutoAnything and bought it. I have an Escalade with a 6.0 V-8 and RWD that usually gets 17.4 MPG on the highway at best on our road trips. I got as high as 18.9 and even through a 3,800 miles road trip driving on the highway, city traffic and up hills and mountains, it still averaged 17.3! The cost savings of using 87 octane plus getting better fuel economy were well worth it!

[FE SP/COOP] Sanatory
Author(s) : Alexey 'Vodkins' Morozov
Game : Serious Sam : The First Encounter
Type : Single Player/Cooperative
This is another map that I have been wanting to review for a while. This map popped up on the TenFour map review database a long time ago and it received a gold medal. Naturally, I wanted to take a look at the level myself. So I downloaded the map, played through it, and it has instantly become one of my favourites available for Serious Sam : The First Encounter.
The first thing I noticed is that the level design and architecture is a radical departure to the familliar Egyptian landscapes and buildings that are present in so many fan-made maps. Instead, it takes place in a coliseum situated on an island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. To achieve this, the map uses textures and sounds from Unreal and Unreal Tournament to great effect. (Which makes sense since, according to the readme, the author has brought his experience and talent for mapping Unreal Tournament to the table for this offering.) The plot that goes with this level is that Sam was invited by a mysterious "M" to relax and enjoy the races that were supposedly taking place in the coliseum. However, knowing Sam, the mysterious "M" is most likely Mental, and the time spent in the Coliseum would most definitely be anything but peaceful. Directions to guide you through the level are provided via an adequate amount of Netricsa messages, though they are fairly poorly written with slightly-broken English and an instance of 4th wall breaking by having Netricsa cuss.
Also departing radically from the typical glut of Serious Sam maps, there is a lot of level sprawl to go around. Progression through the level is far from linear ; There are a lot of areas that you can explore out of sequence and a lot of areas that are completely optional. (The room with the Laser Rifle comes to mind.) There are also plenty of secrets in this level, most of which are very well hidden. So far, I have only ever been able to find 3 of them. 2 of those are obviously hinted at in the exit room that teleports you to just outside where they would be located, and these secrets only open after you beat the final boss of the level and enter the exit room. I will not spoil them for you, as it is a nice reward for finishing the map. Progression through the level is based on finding certain key items and visiting certain key locations. And just like with Eye of Ra, there are points where you would visit the same area several times, each time at an elevation higher than the last.
YouTube Video: Pictures can't do it justice
Unfortunately, there are a couple of areas where the design of the level works against the gameplay and the intended impact of the encounters. The more egregious example that comes to mind is the massive wave of Gnaars, Kleers and Werebulls that comes at you from around the chamber of the Guardian in the plaza area. This is where I would assume to be where the author intended to put a large encounter and endurance section wherein the player has to hold the chamber and survive. The intended effect would have had an impact, if it were not for the fact that there is only one vestibule leading into the chamber, and an infinitely-spawning ammunition pack. The result is that players could safely spam grenades out of the vestibule and none of the enemies would ever get the chance to reach the player and attack. This exploit could have been avoided if there were more than 1 entrance to the chamber of the Guardian, or if the enemies spawned in the chamber before pouring out.
YouTube Video: Cheesing it out
Combat-wise, this map is quite satisfying. It gives you plenty of uglies to shoot at, and it gives you plenty of ammunition, health and armor to deal with them. The fights are very-well balanced, with the challenge being on par with one of the later levels from the core campaign. Besides that fight in the chamber of the Guardian, there is not one point in the map where I felt that I was being overwhelmed, or where I felt that it's too easy. However, the author dropped the ball when it came to designing the final fight, as it is another example of a place where the player could easily exploit the level geometry to stack the odds in their favour. Moreover, considering the way the final fight is set up, exploiting the level geometry seems to be the only way to win the fight as you will be stomped down very quickly if you stay in the open and fight.
Visually, the map is stunning. Making great use of the premise and custom textures to create a fresh new look for a Serious Sam level. The author took great care to add in plenty of detail, and made sure that the level design (mostly) compliments its own gameplay and exploration aspects, as well as fit in elements Mediterranean architecture. I would go so far as to say that this is one of the best-looking maps ever made for Serious Sam. It is, thus, no surprise to learn that this map was made for a contest.
...it's Old Man Murray!
The sounds are another thing that are unique in this map. (As far as a Serious Sam map is concerned.) Taking sounds from Unreal and Unreal Tournament, as well as mixing in music from OutWars with the music from the core campaign, it delivers an aural experience that I have yet to see imitated in a Serious Sam fan effort. And it fits well for the most part, providing a thick layer of immersion to the player. There is only 1 issue with the sounds in this level ; The torches are too loud, almost distracting since it could easily be mistaken with the sounds of waves crashing on the shore, and the volume fall-off is too sharp.
The readme is pretty detailed, providing information about the map, the author, play information, build information, known bugs, installation instructions, a special thanks section and a copyright/permissions section. One thing to note is that cooperative play is listed as "maybe", which is a somewhat accurate description of what the experience would be. The map is listed in the network menu under cooperative mode, but it contains no cooperative checkpoints. Therefore, players joining a network game running this map will have to be careful not to die to environmental hazards, and to be lucky not to be disconnected by network hiccups.
YouTube Video: The later areas of the map.
Overall, this offering is a very good experience. Delivering solidly on the exploration and combat front with non-linear map progression and plenty of secrets. What truly makes this map shine, though, is the aesthetics of the level design and overall visual theme. Even if the combat elements of this level were terrible, and they are not, I assure you, I would still recommend that you play through this map and take in the gorgeous scenery. Overall, it is another great map to add to the collection of any Serious Sam fan. It is just a crying shame that this is the only single player/cooperative level created by him. It would have been nice to see more creative projects like this from him for Serious Sam.

Re: [FE SP/COOP] Sanatory
Wow, this map looks awesome. I love that he went through the trouble of adding ambient sounds like bells, chimes, etc. Little touches like that can really elevate a map to another level.
I lol'd at the fast-forwarded grenade spam. Great review!
Re: [FE SP/COOP] Sanatory
Downloaded! A thing I hate in this map (coop). There is no RESPAWN point. The only respawn is at the begining, that's horrible.

"The result is that players could safely spam grenades out of the vestibule and none of the enemies would ever get the chance to reach the player and attack."
Not true!
My plot (and of course playing) is simplest and funniest - just after you picked up Grenade Launcher, go to the right window/balcony door of guardian building and load all of you grenades onto the Gnaar's swarm. Then pick ammo and do the same through the left window to the Kleers. Then do it again in central window to the Werebulls (for that time you even have a lot of Cannonballs, especially if you discovered secret in underwater passage). This is very funny and very safe massacre

Re: [FE SP/COOP] Sanatory
Unfortunatly, i had no such time and editor skill to make correct coop player starts over the map (as i remember 2001 year - there was some difficulty to made them correct for beginner). I had only 3 weeks before map contest here in Russia and low editor skill on that time... Of course i could did better, but this is it...
p.s. Never used autosave, useless function IMHO

Derry man charged with stealing flag box at transfer stationBy HUNTER McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent
January 15. 2014 1:46PM
DERRY — A local man was arrested Tuesday and charged with stealing a box used to collect worn American flags at the town transfer station, police said.
Eric Lecuyer, 42, 17L Gamache Road, was arrested at his residence on a warrant for theft, said police Capt. Vern Thomas.
Police recovered the box at his residence Dec. 9, Thomas said. Pinkerton Academy JROTC students installed the box Nov. 22 in a collaborative effort with the Derry Veterans of Foreign Wars. The box was stolen from the transfer station Nov. 29 and police later began an investigation.
Thomas didn't say why there was a delay from the time the box was stolen to when the arrest was made.
"We conduct thorough, well-documented investigations before making an arrest," Thomas said. "We did so in this case."
He said no further information on the arrest was being shared beyond a press release.
Lecuyer was released on $1,000 cash bail and is scheduled to be arraigned before the 10th Circuit Court, Derry District Division, on Jan. 30.

Shanghai Surprise: The Unionization of Home Day Care Providers
Michelle Malkin said it best when she said, "The Culture of Corruption has never hit so close to home."
The prominent author, blogger and commentator was referring in a recent blog post to a shady scheme to shanghai Michigan's home day care providers into a newly-formed, dues-paying labor union. Last month, the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation exposed this scheme in its first lawsuit, Loar v. DHS. A Mackinac Center news release explains the Sept. 16 filing:
Stay Engaged
"...against the Michigan Department of Human Services in a case where a "shell corporation" was established to shanghai more than 40,000 home-based day care business owners into a government employees union. On behalf of two owners, Sherry Loar and Dawn Ives, the MCLF filed an action at the Michigan Court of Appeals seeking to stop the DHS from improperly siphoning 'union dues' out of state subsidy checks meant to provide assistance to low-income parents."
Here is a video that tells of the women's ordeal while simply trying to run businesses from their homes and further explains the scheme:
Loar v. DHS from Mackinac Center on Vimeo.
The DHS and its director have since responded, asking that the case be dismissed on procedure, rather than principle. In essence, the DHS "is currently unwilling to defend its practice of collecting 'union dues' from home-based day care center owners," according to Legal Foundation Director Patrick Wright. He said, "The defendants' response shows that they lack the courage of their convictions."
In the meantime, other home day care providers around the state are stepping into the fray. Detroit television station WXYZ interviewed a Brighton woman who is similarly outraged at her new-found union "membership". The Mackinac Center has been contacted by her and several others, interested in offering their voice and support to the Legal Foundation as it works to keep what Michelle Malkin calls a "culture of corruption" out of the home.
