Each game in the tournament was played with a 65 minute time limit, but the championship game had not been scheduled to have this time limit.
The limit was placed due to impending weather and Sylvan Hills was awarded the championship after scoring one unearned run. Andrea Kindrick truck out 10 of the 15 batters she faced in four innings.
Russellville (6-1, 1-0 6A/7A-Central Conference) opened the tournament with a 5-0 win over Heber Springs.
Zoey Adkins broke a scorless tie with a two run single in the third inning. The Lady Cyclones scored their next three runs on a trio of doubles, with runs coming from Kindrick, Kayla Sisco and Ashley Pizzolato in the fifth inning. Kindrick threw a no hitter with 11 strikeouts.
Next, Russellville thumped the Pottsville Apaches 11-0. Kindrick hit two home runs in the first inning, a three run homerun followed by a grand slam.
The game was called after three innings. Kindrick was 2-of-3 with 7RBI's. Courtney Norman was 2-of-3 with a solo homerun.
The Lady Cyclones topped Dardanelle 1-0 in extra innings. A Diana Hale sacrifce pushed Sommer Purtscher from second base to third. Then, Haley Frost had the walk-off sacrifice fly to right field for the victory. Kindrick had 13 strikeouts in a one-hitter.
Russellville will play Conway on Thursday to continue conference play.

The QR mirrored, this is the right perspective because the small square should always be at the lower right.
Are they official? And or useful in anyways?
I just went through a 1000 posts of this.
Man these puzzles never end do they?
Nope. not official
What are these QR codes from?
Can anyone summarise the last 1000 posts for me @_@
gttv was a bust
qr codes may or may not mean anything
the irc is officially being watched
aaaand i can't really think of much else, it's getting late.
That IRC picture with the overlay: It replaces Spies with Lies as we know, but what about the rest? It spells out "Lies! Real ..." and I'm not sure about the rest.
fuck valve forcing us to use our money and brain
Here is the twitter conversation en full if anyone missed it.
Not much, really.
First url has nothing in the source.
Alright, going to take a shower and get to bed, cya tomorrow gais.
re? alve bec RL
has anyone checked if it could be an anagram?
Episode 3 is actually Bioshock 3 where we return to Rapture, where we find the Borealis.
It has to be episode 3, why else would they include a game specific fan site such as halflife2.net for an ARG.
Well Half Life universe is the same as portals.
edit: oh, hey, my first ninja. damn.
Edit: I'm sure one of the most anticipated PC games coming to Mac would be a pretty big deal (though we all know it's going to happen, whether there's an ARG or not).
Unfisheyed to some extent
Damn ninjas
Probably late but P-body is now on amnesia's main menu screen.
Also,not sure where but this was found in game some hours ago :
Not sure if its fake or not,but it was posted on FG's forums
I wonder what would happen if everyone just stopped looking on these puzzles
Guys what did i miss i just left when everyone found out about the ressurection pin , can someon fill me in? i can't read 20 forum pages
Gabe: alright fuck it, robin, delete episode 3's files, half life is DEAD.

Grammy Award-winning pioneer of the four-mallet technique of playing the vibes, Gary Burton is one of jazz's most consistently impressive figures. Here he introduces his latest band, the New Gary Burton Quartet, comprised of guitarist Julian Lage, bassist Scott Colley and drummer Antonio Sanchez. Well-known throughout his five-decade career for his quartets (beginning with his 1967 group featuring Larry Coryell, Roy Haynes and Steve Swallow), Burton is returning to the configuration for the first time since the mid-'90s, and will play material from his latest album Common Ground – out now on Mack Avenue Records.
On Gary Burton's debut release on Mack Avenue Records, Common Ground, the Grammy®-winning pioneer of the four-mallet technique of playing the vibes is not only delivering his first studio album since 2005, but is also introducing his latest band. Known as the New Gary Burton Quartet, the group is comprised of guitarist Julian Lage, bassist Scott Colley and drummer Antonio Sanchez. Common Ground features 10 tunes, including six remarkable originals by quartet members as well as two impressive numbers by pianist Vadim Neselovskyi (a former Burton band member), a gem from the Keith Jarrett songbook and an intriguing arrangement of the standard "My Funny Valentine," spotlighting Lage.
Well-known throughout his five-decade career for his quartets (beginning with his 1967 group featuring Larry Coryell, Roy Haynes and Steve Swallow), Burton is returning to the configuration for the first time since the mid-'90s. He expresses great enthusiasm for the new band's alchemy.
The quartet served as a reunion of Lage with Burton who has known the guitarist since he was a teen wunderkind and has featured him in his bands up until three years ago. (During the hiatus from working together, Burton was focusing on revisiting the 1973 chamber jazz classic Crystal Silence duo with Chick Corea, while Lage finished college and worked on his long-awaited debut album, Sounding Point.) "Julian has matured so much since I first met him 10 years ago when he was 12 years old," Burton says. "Julian has kept on growing and developing a sound of his own. He's a knock out." Lage fills the quartet guitar chair that was once held by such rising-star six-stringers as Pat Metheny, John Scofield and Kurt Rosenwinkel, among others.
"I've always liked the vibraphone-guitar sound," says Burton, whose masterful vibes glisten throughout Common Ground. "It's something that I discovered when Nashville country guitarist Hank Garland invited me in the '60s to record with him. The sound of the two instruments together has an ideal timbre and coolness." For the quartet's rhythm section, Burton called Sanchez, who has played with the vibraphonist on and off in recent years. But Colley is new to Burton's employ. "Once I decided to have Antonio be a part of the group, I asked him what bass player he'd suggest, and he said Scott is the one," says Burton. "They are a terrific rhythm team."
Formed in 2010, the new quartet's first gig took place in August at the Red Sea Jazz Festival, and then took New York by storm with a weeklong, sold-out engagement at the Blue Note from October 19-24. After that, the group toured, road tested their material and entered the studio in New York for a three-day session December 4-6 to record Common Ground. Longtime friends with Mack Avenue president Denny Stilwell and marketing vice president Randall Kennedy, Burton approached the label about the new band and proposed recording an album showcasing it. "They were both keenly interested," says Burton, who also serves as the album's producer. "And the band was excited. They're all talented composers and brought music to the group that really stands out."
Common Ground opens with the buoyant Neselovskyi composition "Late Night Sunrise," which Burton likes for its whimsy. "It's so melodic that it really works as the best piece to introduce the band," says Burton, who also chose for the album the pianist's "Last Snow," another lyrical beauty that "captures Vadim's Russian heritage. It has a light feel and is a fun piece to play."
Colley's contribution to the set list is the joyful "Never the Same Way," which features Lage delivering biting phrases on his guitar solo. "It's in 7/4 time, but because of the way Scott constructed the piece, it doesn't have that awkward feel that often happens with tunes in odd time signatures," says Burton. "We look into the audience and people are swinging and swaying to it, and probably don't even realize the time signature."
Sanchez brought two tunes to the session, including the title track, which the drummer wrote specifically for the band. "It was written for me in mind," Burton says. "We worked it around, and added a section. Antonio is featured with his solo. We've been using this as a set closer." The other Sanchez piece is "Did You Get It," based on the 12-bar blues form, but with two bars added every other chorus, and is taken at breakneck speed with another drum solo. The tune also features Burton and Lage in call-and-response conversation
Lage has two originals in the collection: "Etude" and "Banksy." The first is based on music that the guitarist was thinking of using as a study piece for his students. "Julian visited me in Florida to work on material for the album, and he played me this," Burton says. "I loved it, so we figured out an arrangement so we could improvise on it. It's an impressive piece that's fast and difficult. I really had to practice to get it right." The second is another complex, almost mysterious piece with displaced rhythms in the bass part and a loping rhythm at the beginning. The title of the song is based on the name of the famous British graffiti artist. "I asked Julian why he chose the title," says Burton, "and he responded that it just sounded like a cool name."
Burton brings to the date the moving ballad "Was It So Long Ago?" He says, "I don't write tunes that often. But I sat down at the piano and came up with a tango that I dedicated to Astor Piazzolla who I collaborated with in the '80s. And I knew how authentically Julian can play a tango from when he was in my 2004 Generations band."
Burton decided to take on the golden standard "My Funny Valentine," which he figures he's covered with different arrangements four times throughout the course of his career. He was on the fence about recording it again. "It's really a showcase for Julian who has an extended, gorgeous solo section that opens the piece," Burton says. "As it turns out, this tune brings the house down when we play it live, so I figured we had to include what has become one of the new quartet's signature tunes."
Common Ground ends with the quartet's sublime rendition of Jarrett's "In Your Quiet Place," a tune that the pianist wrote for the vibraphonist back in 1970 when they first met and played together. Back then, they recorded an album of Jarrett compositions, titled simply Gary Burton & Keith Jarrett. Burton says, "I've played this ballad as a solo in concerts over the years, which has worked well, but this new version is the first time it's been played in a band format since 1970."
While Burton has crossed multiple stylistic borders since he broke into the jazz ranks in the '60s, he finds that he often returns to the straight-ahead jazz quartet setting. That's why Common Ground by the New Gary Burton Quartet is so special to him. "Since my very first group in 1967, I can count maybe three times that one of my groups over the years clicked so perfectly," he says. "Whenever I start a new group, I often wonder how things will work, to see if the musicians will enjoy playing together and are ready to take the music to a higher level. With the new band, I'm thrilled. It's proving to be one of the standout bands of my career and has already quickly developed its own identity."

Yeah except the Jets did nearly exactly that back in 2009 and made it to the AFC Championship Game.
Also, nobody predicted the Jets would eject the Patriots from the playoffs that year either. Once the playoffs start all bets are off... Get there, and things play themselves out the way they play themselves out.
You play the game in front of you but you build the team for the season ahead. You know the jets situation with the cap and FA this off season. Do you see any improvement in wins and losses next year?
Based on how the jets have played the good teams, there is no reason to believe they will fare better. Just because you can't prove it beyond a shadow a doubt is not a reason for optimism. I can believe I will win the powerball game Wednesday, there is no proof I won't. And as far as the schedule, Teams that are perennial playoff teams don't just go into the tank unless the qb goes down. If you don't think the AFC east schedule is tuff next year, you are optimistic to a fault.

Taking a look at the thursday night game against the Patriots, you do realize that Tom Brady threw for only 20 more yards than Mark Sanchez and completed 11% less of his passes than the Jets quarterback did? You realize that right? You also realize that Shonn Greene ran for 5.1 yards per carry against your top rated run defense didn't you? Hopefully you also realize that the majority of the TD's Brady threw came off of turnovers right? The fact is, Tom Brady did not outplay Mark Sanchez in that game. Had Sanchez been handed the same lucky breaks that Brady was handed he would have racked up 3 TD's in the game too.
The New England Patriots didn't necessarily out play the Jets on thursday night so much as the Jets turned the ball over on fumbles and a redzone INT and handed them the blowout win that they went home with. Eliminate the turnovers and this is a very much different game... Try not to take too much away from that win because your team really is more like the one who won by 3 points at Gillette and not the one who won by 35 on thursday.
Oh really... So if the Giants lose that critical game against the Jets at Metlife last year they are still going to the playoffs? No sir, THEY ARE NOT. The Giants needed to go on a run just to get to 9-7 and guess what... EVERYONE WAS CALLING FOR TOM COUGHLIN'S HEAD!
Please get your facts straight and check your Patriots bias at the door before responding further please, because I was there and I know exactly what happened with the Giants last season as does every other New York fan around here.
And when you lose 5 games by 17 or more points teams only pass on 3rd down in the 4th quarter.
The Pats played a bad game at Gillette earlier this year and the jets played one of their better ones. What do you mean eliminate the turnovers? bad teams turn the ball over, that is why they are bad. Bad receivers drop more balls, that is why they are bad, bad qbs throw picks at inopportune time, that is why they are bad. Bad rb fumble the ball. So what your saying is that if you eliminate the qb, rb and the wrs, the jets are a good team.
Marty Schottenheimer was a great coach during the regular season. His teams consistently won 13+ games a year. The man knew how to get his team into the playoffs, but once he got there he CHOKED... The man did this so many times that he became synonymous with choking and got fired from the Chargers even after posting up another 13 win season, and to this day he can't get another job in the NFL has a headcoach because of this.
Please try to learn from the lesson of Marty... THE REGULAR SEASON MEANS NOTHING! Just get to the playoffs however you can and fight your ass off once you get there and no matter what your record was or who you beat in the regular season you too can have Superbowl ring at the end of it...
Turnovers are part of the game. The red zone INT was a great play by Gregory. So let's ignore it.
The Pats outplayed, outcoached, and outclassed the Jets and there is no other way to spin it any other way. You take away the points scored on the Sanchez butt fumble and McKnight kick return turnover and the Pats still win by 16 points.
We saw how many people were back on the bandwagon after beating STL.
We are a bully team. All bark, no bite. The real teams in this league wipe their asses with us.
I fully expect to win AT LEAST 3 of the next 5 games. But that won't be b.c we are good, it will be b.c the opponents are worse off than we are.
I don't care what the fans do. Fans are fans. My only hope is that Woody will see through the BS of us beating up on some JV teams.
"There are cracks" -- D Mason.
Enough said, just accept that fact that you got handed a monumental gift in this game off crazy unforseeable turnovers and move on okay?
Gregory reads a locked in Sanchez and makes a phenomenal break on the ball; then he recovers a fumble; next Edelman scoops up McKnight's inexcusable fumble and scampers in for a quick score; then defensive player slaps the ball out of Greene's hands as he--astoundingly--thinks he's making a goal-line stretch for a TD; etc....
BTW, Brady threw for 37 more yards than Sanchez and only an 8% less completion percentage.

How-to: Start Seedlings in Food Scrap Containers
January 21st, 2013 | by Julie Finn
Seed starters made from food scraps are even more economical than recycled seedling pots--you've got to eat even more than you've got to read the newspaper!--and even better for your garden, because all those eggshell seedling pots, orange peel seedling pots, and pumpkin shell seedling pots? That's compost, right where your garden needs it the most. Here's a selection of food scrap seed starters--no matter where your tastes lie, you'll find something here to eat and then plant

When Shane Carwin (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) steps into the cage this December to face fellow "The Ultimate Fighter 16" coach Roy Nelson, he will have had 18 months to mull over one of the biggest regrets of his life.
Carwin believes all the talk surrounding his alleged cardio issues in a July 2010 loss to Brock Lesnar led him and his coaches to over-train for a June 2011 fight with Junior Dos Santos.
Now he's going back to basics and says it's his natural gifts that will ultimately provide him the edge.
"I think my cardio got a bad rap," Carwin said at a recent media session that MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) attended. "'I must be the most unconditioned fatass around.' That's how I felt about that. Honestly, it got to me. It not only got to me, it got to my coaches for that Dos Santos camp where it became an overemphasis.
"I was going to wrestling practice, and honestly by the time I got to wrestling practice, I had already had some other practices, and I had nothing. I was completely shot. I was dead from all the conditioning stuff, and I think it did affect the outcome of that fight. It wasn't the fact that I wasn't conditioned for the Lesnar fight, it was just the sequence of events."
And so Carwin looks to get back to winning ways after suffering through a pair of frustrating defeats. In the meantime, he's undergone back surgery and believes he'll finally be completely healthy for the first time in years. His recovery has been a little slower than expected, but Carwin insists he's working back into form.
"I've been working with Trevor Wittman," Carwin said. "He's the only person I've actually sparred with. He's my coach, and what is he soaking wet? One-hundred-and-forty pounds or so? But he moves like lightning. He's a hard target to hit.
"It's just been restricted down to him while I get back to full health. I'm working a little bit of jiu-jitsu and stuff, but most of it has been with Trevor."
Limiting his interaction largely to Wittman has provided multiple benefits, Carwin says. In a return to his roots, Carwin said he feels more like the fighter he was during a 12-fight win streak to open his career than the man who is currently on an 0-2 run.
"I think as fighters evolve, more and more people want to join your team," Carwin said. "I think the fight that I was in the best shape for was a fight where Trevor Wittman pretty much had it by himself, and that was my first fight against Christian Wellisch. I think it was probably one of the fights I felt the best with.
"It seems as you go on and on in this sport, people want to contact you more and more and become part of your team. They've got the greatest and best this and that out there, and I think it's just me going back with me and Trevor and a few coaches I had back in the beginning. Just stay loyal to those guys and Trevor's beliefs. I believe in him as a coach, and he believes in me, and that goes a long way."
Before he steps in to the octagon, there's the small matter of his coaching role on "The Ultimate Fighter 16." He and Nelson have already begun to verbally spar on Twitter, and their face-to-face exchanges on the show promise to be memorable. The bout will certainly serve as a grudge match for the two men, and Carwin has vowed to take his frustrations out on Nelson.
Of course, "Big Country" has always displayed a granite chin, and if cardio does prove to be Carwin's Achilles heel, he could be in trouble in later rounds of the fight.
Carwin insists that while his cardio has been unfairly evaluated, he's unquestionably ready for the challenge.
"I feel like I can compete with any of these guys (in the heavyweight division)," Carwin said. "I might not technically be the best, but I guarantee you I have more heart and determination than a lot of those guys. And I can take a beating. I swear my head is a little thicker than most people's.
"It's hard to knock me out, and I know that gets frustrating for other people when they hit you with your best shot and nothing happens. They know I have the ability to knock them out in once shot. I feel like I can knock anybody out in one shot. I think that's where my excitement comes."

Last week British grocery giant Tesco threw in the towel and announced that it would stop investing in its U.S. business. The company will either close or sell its nearly two hundred store "Fresh & Easy" chain.
This isn't surprising news; the U.S. business had apparently been struggling for years. Since its opening in 2007, Tesco has lost more than £850 million on the business and results apparently were not improving quickly.
There are three important learning points here.
First, it is incredibly difficult to enter an established category where people have little motivation to learn. Grocery stores are fine. People aren't looking for another one. If the concept isn't dramatically different, like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, then people won't change. Tesco tried to enter the US by creating lovely stores that were modestly different. This just won't work. It is amazing they tried at all.
Second, when the numbers don't work people eventually give up. Companies launch new products to build profits. When it is clear that the new venture won't generate good returns, they stop investing. When evaluating competitors, it is useful to keep this in mind; if you want someone to stop attacking you, just convince them they won't make any money and they will stop.
Third, defensive strategy really works. Analysts are blaming Tesco's failure on the company and the economy. But I am quite confident US retailers did everything they could to make Tesco's life difficult. That would have been a very smart strategy; Tesco was a huge long-term threat to US retailers. Tesco's failure was very good news for Kroger and Walmart.

Preface: Writers at SB Nation did a piece this morning on who they thought would be the top 100 players in the league would be when 2017 rolled around. Here are the three current Raptors that made the list:
93. Terrence Ross
Age in 2017: 26
Current Team: Toronto Raptors
I was a big fan of Ross coming out of Washington, enough so that I'm not overly concerned about his underwhelming rookie numbers. He's got great size (6'7 and 200 pounds), he's a good outside shooter and he's a spectacular athlete. That's a solid foundation to build his game over the next few years. In 2017, he'll be 26, just coming into his prime. Getting minutes in Toronto may be tricky over the next few years, but I like him more than DeMar DeRozan, a shooting guard who can't shoot 3's. -TJARKS90. Rudy Gay
Age in 2017: 31
Current Team: Toronto Raptors
Gay will be 31 in 2017, so right at the edge of his peak. And this is thing I've always said about Rudy Gay: he's not awful. He's not even bad. He's bad for an $18 million contract. The argument has always been about his value to a team at that price point; folks who mark for him tend to make it about the fact that he obviously looks like an elite basketball player. He just doesn't perform like one, and that's where the issues arise.
That said, the 90th best player in the NBA would be on the 18th team All-NBA, and I'm comfortable with projecting Gay there in 2017. If this eyesight thing was actually a big deal, he'll be way higher. He's primarily discounted now because he's a scorer who can't shoot. -ZILLERWe always talk about how this team, in general, will progress/regress in the coming years. I wanted to have the forum do something different: predict where the actual players will be in comparison to the rest of the league TALENT-WISE. Doesn't matter if you think they will be part of this organization or not.18. Jonas Valanciunas
Age in 2017: 25
Current Team: Toronto Raptors
I'm a little concerned about Valanciunas's rebounding, but he projects as an awesome defender and scorer. That's a rare combination for big men, and he'll be 25 in 2017, hitting his stride ... if all goes according to plan. -ZILLER
PRADA: This may seem like a reach, but I'd rather have Jonas than the next guy on this list in four years.
FLANNERY: Thought a lot about taking Jonas higher and I'll probably regret it in 2017 when we're all writing via telepathy.
O'DONNELL: Underrated factor in this pick: With Masai Ujiri on-board (and maybe even the recent influx of talent out of Canada), Valanciunas should have some awesome teammates around him.
Looking down the roster, what do you see from each player in 4 years?


text: Bioanthropology B200 is an introduction to the biological study of humans. Students learn the basics of genetics, evolutionary theory, human evolution, primate morphology, primate behavior, growth and development, human adaptation, and human variation. A number of supervised labs give students hands-on work with the primate skeleton, the human skeleton, dental anatomy, fossil anatomy, and biological methods. The course is designed to give students background to prepare them for more advanced bioanthropology courses. Much of the course concerns the evolutionary origin of humans. We will achieve a basic knowledge of what our ancestors looked like at each stage of their evolution. We discuss issues such as why we evolved bipedalism, hairlessness, large brains, language, and less robust bones and teeth. Class grades are assigned based on a quiz (10% of grade), two exams (20% of grade each for a total of 40%), laboratory assignments (20%) and a cumulative final (30%).

Metabolizable protein supply alters pregnancy and subsequent retention rate during heifer development while grazing dormant winter forage. Western Section of Animal Science Proceedings 63:306-310. Interpretive Summary: Selection and development method of replacement heifers can impact future productivity and longevity of the entire cowherd. Heifers developed on native dormant range fed 0.9 kg/d of a 36% CP supplement containing 50% ruminally undegradable protein prior to breeding may increase in herd retention rate and productivity with an overall lower cost of development. This study demonstrates that environmentally adapted heifers can be grown at a slow rate of gain on semi-arid rangelands with strategic supplementation, resulting in pregnancy rates similar to heifers in a moderate to high rate of gain, while improving future productivity. Developing heifers on native range and supplementing with RUP has the potential to increase retention rates based on greater reproductive success.
Technical Abstract: Type of heifer development system can have major impact on the future productivity and retention rate of the cowherd. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to determine growth, reproductive performance, retention rate, and economic efficiency of heifer's developed in a range raised (with 2 CP treatments) or high input (feedlot developed) heifer development system. Spring-born, crossbred heifers (n = 191) were stratified to 1 of 3 treatments at weaning: (1) 0.9 kg/d of a 36% CP supplement containing 64% RDP (CSM), (2) 0.9 kg/d of a 36% CP supplement containing 50% RDP (RUP), or (3) a concentrate diet fed in dry lot (CONC) to gain 0.68 kg/d. Supplementation was initiated in February and terminated at the onset of a 45-d breeding season in May. Heifer BW and hip height (HH) were taken monthly from initiation of supplementation until breeding and again at weaning. Females were removed from the herd for failure to reproduce or wean a calf. Percent of heifers becoming pregnant and remaining in the herd at start of each breeding season was recorded to determine retention rate throughout their 3rd calf crop. Breeding BW was greater (P < 0.01) for the CONC than CSM or RUP developed heifers. Hip height at breeding was greater (P < 0.01) in RUP and CSM relative to CONC heifers. However, palpation BW and HH was similar (P > 0.24) for all heifer development treatments. At breeding, RUP and CSM heifers reached 51% of mature BW (P < 0.01) compared to CONC heifers at 58% of mature BW. Pregnancy rates were 94, 88, and 84% for RUP, CSM and CONC heifers (P = 0.10). Net return was $99.71 and $87.18 per developed heifer greater for RUP and CSM heifers, respectively compared to CONC heifers due to differences in pregnancy and development costs. Retention rate at age 4 was greatest (P < 0.01) for RUP heifers. This study indicates that range developed heifers can be as reproductively successful as heifers developed in a feedlot, while improving future productivity. Furthermore, metabolizable protein supply improves reproduction in heifers developed on dormant native range.

Discussion in 'College Tennis Talk' started by tennisgreat755, Aug 14, 2012.
He had me until the PS
Exactly what I think.
Good players create their own luck.
Great to see the forces aligned against this.
ITA and USTA announcing they are drafting a joint opposition position is awesome in addition to the overwhelming pressure from coaches, media, fans, players, and alumni. And I read somewhere the NCAA is already blinking and will have a meeting or call or something to discuss further.
Collette Lewis at zootennis.com is covering this and doing her darndest to make what impact she can so we can keep track of very latest over there.
I'll go out on a limb and say I think we're making progress in getting this reconsidered and at least keeping the third set for singles!
Have to agree with that attitude. I'm not going to get into it any further on how shorten match formats level the playing field for the less skilled and less fit. I think we agree there. However, the coaches and the ITA create the rules for college tennis, the NCAA controls the year end championships. The NCAA usually follows the ITA's direction. We'll see who prevails.
Seriously? It's all a matter of degree's I guess. So you'd say same thing if grand slams were just a single 12 point tiebreak instead of best of 5?
The tremendous mental and physical combined requirements of high level tennis set our sport apart from every other. Top players are absolute warriors mentally and physically.
If you want to see lessor tests of heart, stamina, courage, and mental toughness, there are a lot of other sports to go watch.
Also have to agree here. A big server with little ground game has a big advantage in a TB. Put two of them in a 6 game pro set of doubles and that factor widens. The whole new rule ideas are just plain awful.
what is big serve in college ? 120 mph ? it will force players to develop a better return game
United we stand
Just put my name on this one:
only has 816 so far. i signed in but we need like 2 million supporters to catch their attention
And now 1600 just a few hours later. It won't make 2M, but it's pretty hot for a niche issue like college tennis. It says they have a goal of 5K.
OK Feddie.
What huge problem is this trying to fix?
Someone brought politics into it so... this seems like a typical 'Nanny State' move - by the 'you know which' team.
I propose a compromise. Keep the singles as is with 3 sets but change the doubles to 6 games with tiebreaker at 6-6
Just wanted to bump this so we can get to the goal of 5K. Make sure you sign and pass it along to others.
Funny. I wonder if the NCAA will respond with it's own letter in opposition to the USTA's changes to the junior schedule.
I don't mind that, the 3rd sets are the big deal here anyway. But that really devalues doubles even more
Funny but that's about all. On some level it may appear that could happen. However the NCAA is not impacted by those jr. changes but the UStA and ITA are by the NCAA change.
In the end it would be seen as a tit for tat and dismissed as that window of opportunity to voice a valid opinion is closed given the current timing.
I'm surprised the NCAA even cares. Unless there was a huge outcry among coaches and players to make these changes, I wouldn't expect the NCAA to even consider the issue of match format. Where did that come from? I guess that committee of busy bodies.
I gathered together a lot of the articles and reports about the changes, as well as the NCAA report itself. There is also a link to the petition. They still haven't reached their goal so please go sign the petition if you want to stop the NCAA from making the changes.
Articles and Petition
ITA & USTA respond -
There's some additional media links at top of that article.
Though maybe not as huge of deal, I was disappointed to see that the NCAA wants to change the tournament to just a "final four" format, instead of having the last 16 teams advance to the site where the championship will be determined.
I'm actually a fan of that. Creating 4 regional sites and then the Final 4 and singles/doubles at its own site. Thinking that sites in California, Texas, Ohio, and Georgia would make sense. It would expose more fans to high level tennis on a regular basis. I'd also like to see a "Final 4" town be permanently established like Omaha is for baseball.
Logistically, I am thinking it minimizes costs for a player or doubles team that loses in round of 16 and then stays another 5-6 days to play again. Let the school/player decide when they need to arrive to play individuals. Of course, it'd be easier to do with TV coverage (a la volleyball) of the regional finals and Final Four.
Again, my proposal on televising the sport is to NOT cover doubles, lead in with highlights from the doubles point, then cover singles matches to conclusion. Networks can do this in a 2 hour time block with few matches going over that time (4-3 or 4-2 matches with multiple 3 setters). A shortened format is NOT necessary. Matches get suspended upon clinching anyways.
For a TV example:
2:00 - start Doubles point - 10 minute warm up
3:20 - start singles 10 minute warm up
3:30 - start TV coverage and singles matches
5:30 - end TV coverage
For all the reasons you mentioned pairing down to a final four, maybe even a double elimination event would make for a lot of good tennis available to a lot of people, including the fans, families, and friends.
The 6 game pro set, 10 pt breaker instead of a full third NOT good ideas at all unless the goal is to eliminate some of the foreign student athletes.
Most of the foreign players, and other top Americans use the NCAA system as a development transition tool to the pro's. If your goal is to weed out those who's longer term goal is pro tennis. This would certainly contribute to that goal.
I am new here, but have attended the last 5 NCAA team tournaments as an avid
but very disappointed UVA fan. I doubt those advocating "no changes" have attended very many. From this fan's viewpoint the current format is ridiculous and it takes way, way too long and is very expensive for any fan who stays all 5 days for the team event to play out.
Then when you add on the individual event that starts the very next day, it becomes an endurance contest for the top players on the top teams and it is not good for their health. I think USC's Steve Johnson played singles and doubles on Friday with a day off on Saturday and then singles and doubles (maybe he lost before the finals in doubles?) for 10 consecutive days in the 90+ degree temperatures and it probably was over 100 on the hard courts at UGA. I heard that he almost had a heat stroke during the individual event.
The first 4 days of the current format starts with matches at 9AM and they usually end around midnight. Who can watch 15 hours of college tennis for 4 straight days? The answer of course is no one can, except many of the wonderful volunteers and administrative staff have to be there.
One thing for sure, the players and coaches do not watch the other teams play unless it is an unlucky assistant who is scouting. You will sometimes see a player, who has to stick around for the individual event, and his coach whose team has lost come over to watch but I think it is mostly to scout a future opponent or just avoid the boredom of the hotel room. The rest of the smart players and coaches are in air conditioning somewhere after practicing in the morning and then they wait and wait some more.
There is a little shade at UGA, but most of the seats are in the sun on hard metal benches, so I dare anyone to seat in the hot sun from 9 AM until the sun sets around 7:30 PM and then stay through midnight when the last match ends on the first 4 days. The reality is that 95% to 99% of the fans, who do come, only come to watch their own teams play and then they leave.
At UGA last year there were very good crowds (for tennis anyway), like over 2,500 when UGA played in the quarters against Pepperdine. Had UGA advanced to semis and finals they would have had huge crowds, but when they had to go indoors for the finals due to rain there would not have been enough room for all of them to watch it.
The rest of the time I doubt there were 500 fans there at any one time. At Tulsa the place was deserted as Tulsa lost early. Same thing at College Station as A & M lost early. Stanford was a little better, but the Stanford men made it to semis that year and the women may have made the finals. The two NCAA's at UGA have had the best attendance and that is because the UGA fans are tennis crazy.
I think this is mostly about TV and $$$. ESPNU had been televising the finals, but they did not do so this past year. They most likely need a guarantee of shorter matches, because they cannot stay on the air if the match runs 4 or maybe even 5 hours as some women's matches have in the past. TV has schedules to keep and a 3 hour window is likely what they want.
The obvious (to me anyway) solution is to add a super regional for the 16's and quarters. The local fans would come out and watch. Then you have a final four. From an attendance viewpoint and IMO playing the final 4 at a neutral site will be a mistake. I prefer it to be at the highest seed remaining home courts.
As to the scoring, with a Final 4 fatigue and 15 hour days no longer a factor if you go to the super regional for the quarters. I would not change the scoring. I would play the singles first, which of course means doubles would rarely be played because they stop the matches at 4 points. As fan I do like to watch doubles, but almost always the team that wins the doubles point, quickly wins three singles matches often at the bottom of the lineup, so quite often the 1 and 2's never finish their singles matches and they are the ones who people like to watch play. With doubles last, at least one more singles match would have to be played out.
As we all know there are very few "big" upsets in college tennis. Maybe when the 8 seed plays 9, 10 plays 7, or when 4 and 5 play in the quarters, but the number 8 seed is not going to beat #1 and the bottom four seeds are not going to beat the the top four seeds in the round of 16.
Except for the likelihood that TV $$$ are driving this format change, I would just add the quarter final super regional and leave the scoring the same. I can live with doubles being first, but I do think playing it last would be incredible exciting for any match tied at 3-3.
I am not sure when and where you play the individual event, but I guess it would follow a few days later.
Last year at the finals 2 UVA players had leg cramping problems in the finals vs USC, so fatigue can be an issue the way it is now. I think that without the cramps UVA may well have won, but USC had no problems and UVA was to blame for its own cramping problem IMO.
NCAA Amends Original Statement
No 3rd set supertiebreak and no 6 game doubles point as just announced by NCAA - writeup
Changes that will stick:
The enhancements put forward, which would be effective for the 2013 championships, include:
• Remove the warm-up with the opponent before singles and doubles;
• Reduce the time between singles and doubles to five minutes (currently 10); and
• Shorten each changeover from 90 seconds to 60.
From the write up:
The committee had considered a "super tiebreaker" for singles matches (first player to 10 points in the third set, and playing one six-game set in doubles with a tiebreaker at sixall instead of playing one eight-game pro set, but subsequent reaction caused committee members to revisit the proposals.
Woohooo to the players, fans and coaches that responded and took action.
It's a solid victory for us fans and the players. But the changes they did put forth are pretty crappy. Is it really worth saving 20 minutes per dual match at the expense of the quality of tennis and well-being of the players?
Geez, that's kind of a slap in the face.
They are in a way saying "Fine, little **** ants. We will concede the 3rd set, but you're not going to get any rest. What is that? You'd like a few minutes to get a feel for your opponents strokes? Go F yourself."
Good post. They shouldn't touch the third set in singles, the doubles pro set, the warm ups or the 90-second changeover. But the set up for the Sweet Sixteen and breaking it up has its good points too. I will miss all of the top 16 converging into one site to play it out but this might build up the final four in tennis more in the way basketball has it.
This is fantastic news. If college went to 10pt thirds, many USTA tourneys would eventually follow - and that would have been a disaster exponentially more destructive than those who think current USTA changes are bad.
I think we're seeing a shift to more and more juniors considering college a viable stepping stone to pros. Gibbs, Klahn, Kosakowski, Burdette, Johnson are showing this. But the 10 pt tiebreak would have killed this momentum/trend.
And this great for the college game as well and also for those juniors - most of whom won't make pro either path..so by going to college, at least they have a start on an education.
Hats off the many student-athletes who really banded together and sent such a loud and clear and immediate message to the NCAA. And also to the NCAA for actually listening.
I'm glad the NCAA reconsidered, but losing the warm up and shortening changeovers is rough. I'm sure guys will practice beforehand, but just walking on court and starting is going to make for some crappy first few games. As for changeovers, well..60 seconds isn't too bad, but on hot days, and 3rd sets, it'll take its toll. I hope coaches really emphasize staying hydrated and keeping their players healthy.
the 60 second changeover is not good, since officials are geared to call time at 30 secs before so players are ready at 60 or 90 seconds, so rest is cut in half, I see conferences deciding to keep 90 second changeovers, since their rules supersede ITA in conference matches.
When does the 60 second window actually start? Is it from the time the point ends or from the time the players sit down.
I have to agree with this. It's ok with no warmup (you can warmup before), or 5 minutes before singles and doubles, but with 90 to 60 seconds I don't think so.
typically it starts from the end of the point
I'm thinking the ref should be given a starter pistol to kick off the match......
maybe they should
do what I witnessed at a tournament in Kentucky...ie. don't have any seats for the players to sit in... this would encourage them to play through changeovers..... it would save a few seconds so the tv companies would be happy and who cares about the health aspects the almighty dollar is much more important to the ncaa
My apologies if this has already been posted before, but...if the real objective of the NCAA was to change the format to make it more tv friendly,and they actually achieved this objective, isn't the first thing the broadcasters woul do is ask to increase the length of the change overs so they could get more commercials in ?
Possibly a good point, but with 6 matches at once it is different than a pro tournament with a feature match. Realistically, no one would get pissed if they came back to the match and started showing a match at 15-15 in the game.
Harder thing to do would be to get commercials in the first place. Figuring approx $10k of revenue needed for a network to do a match...
I would have considered no-ad in the doubles and some kind of shake up regarding bad line calls, I dont have the answer there but it just gets worse every season.
Michigan's Bruce Berque continues the push against these changes:
Completely agree with Bruce. These changes simply make no sense. The very little amount of time actually saved detracts from the quality of tennis. Again, I have not heard an outcry from the spectators that matches are to long. To make these changes - in case TV is involved - is silly.
That's true, and if they were pissed, noone would care..

Gotta love the organization of this position paper. So Stanford.

Joe Drops By New Pope's Inaugural Mass
What did Vice President Joe Biden and newly-ensconced Pope Francis talk about in their brief conversation on the long receiving line following the new pope's first mass? It's probably best left to historians and Joe/Frank 'shippers (#Friden), but one imagines the working class came up, as it often does (we hear) in conversation with both Biden and the former Cardinal Borgoglio. It was a brief chat, in any event; 70-year-old Biden was polite enough to let the 76-year-old pope off the hook quickly (unlike, who was that, the wife of the President of Portugal? Who talked his ear off), and Francis continued his long meet and greet, which included Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, barred from EU travel but allowed in the Vatican. The mass that preceded the receiving line was short and simple, focused on the poor and the call to service; it drew a large (and loud) crowd to receive communion from priests carrying yellow umbrellas. If nothing else, Biden seemed to have a good time:

Discussion in 'Junior League & Tournament Talk' started by Postpre, Oct 25, 2012.
What's going on with TCF's posts (deleted)? What about GA Tennis' posts?
I have no idea...
...but his posts of late were, trollish, spammy and narcissistic. IMHO
Well, if they aren't going to be around, what fun would this board be?
I may not agree with everything he said, but I did find his posts very helpful (as someone who is attempting to coach my young kids, the advice offered on this board is irreplaceable, and I value a lot of different perspectives).
TCF, if you are out there and plan on not participating here any longer, I'd love to stay in contact. Please email me at: email@example.com
I liked GA Tennis as well. If you are out there GA Tennis, please contact me as well.
Were u talking about my post?? If so thank you for making me aware of it i will try to do better.
GA - No...
...I was not. Sorry for the confusion.

Details have emerged of an alleged campaign of intimidation and harassment of female Saudi activist, Rima al-Jareesh, carried out at the behest of the Saudi interior minister, Mohammed bin Nayef.According to Twitter user @mujtahidd, widely believed to be a Saudi intelligence insider, Bin Nayef's desire for an end to protests against the detention of dissidents has included the confiscation of her car, intimidation of her driver and detention at gunpoint while she was traveling with her two children.The threats also reportedly extended to her family and children's friends, who were told they would share the same fate as her long-imprisoned husband if they continued to support her.Al-Jareesh has been arrested numerous times over the past few years for taking part in demonstrations against the detention of dissidents in the Kingdom under strict anti-terrorism laws.She was released after her latest arrest in July, 2011, following a successful campaign on Twitter by her supporters.Most recently, in September, she was beaten by security forces while trying to prevent the arrest of a number of men who had earlier called for the release of their relatives held at Tarfiya prison in Qassim Province.Bin Nayef was trained by the FBI in the 1980s and by Britain's anti-terrorism police in the 1990s. He has been roundly praised by Western intelligence officials and is thought to be in-line for the throne when the crown passes to the grandsons of King Abdul Aziz Al Saud.According to the non-governmental Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association (ACPRA), the Kingdom is currently holding some 30,000 political prisoners. Last year the interior ministry said it had put on trial 5,080 of nearly 5,700 people it had detained on security grounds.

Big Leaguers Notebook: May 10
A's Cahill, Tigers' Scherzer pick up their sixth victories
Trevor Cahill and Max Scherzer each improved their records to 6-0, tying them with the Angels' Jered Weaver for the Major League lead in wins (MLB.com). Cahill allowed one earned run and struck out seven over seven innings for the A's, and Scherzer led the Tigers giving up two earned over five innings. Zack Greinke also earned a victory, going six innings and striking out nine in his return to the mound. "Having [the fans] there today was really nice. It got me a little extra excited, especially early on in the game. It was great. I was really impressed with them today," said Greinke of his debut in front of the home crowd. (MLB.com)

Tonight he played one of the toughest if not the toughest frontcourt in the NBA. 2pts 2rbs in 20+ mins. Completely unacceptable. Surprised Casey gave him that long of a leash tonight because he was really bad.
Despite the end-of-game lapse by Casey and DeRozan, the real reason the Raptors lost this game is that they went 3-17 for three-pointers. Had they had even a couple more go in during the first three quarters of the game, it would have been a lot closer and there would have been multiple opportunities to take the lead. No doubt Chicago's defence had something to do with it, as the Bulls' announcers declared, but more of the poor shooting was just being cold or not being set with the feet.
What he is is still a young player, who needs more work on his awareness. Needs the game to slow down a bit still. And needs to not let himself get frustrated. It'll come with time. He still played hard tonight. It's not like he was just "going through the motions". Some nights you just don't have it and the bounces just don't go your way.
But soft? That's not something I'd ever think to call him. He doesn't shy away from banging down low. He doesn't take possessions off.
*And just some food for thought...in Jonas' 3 other games against CHI this year
5-10 FG, 5-6 FT, 15 pts, 10 rbs (2,8), 2 blk, 2 stl, 1 ast, 2 to ----win
6-11 FG, 3-4 FT, 15 pts, 11 rbs (2,9), 4 blk, 1 stl, 1 ast, 1 to ----win
2-5 FG, 0 FT, 4 pts, 8 rbs (2,6), 2 blk, 0 stl, 2 ast, 2 to ----loss
It's not like he has struggled all year with the Bulls. Though it is interesting because someone (Kazan I think) said if he played even a bit better we would've won. While I hate phrasing it like that it does seem like he was a key part of our wins against them this year. So it's a big shame he played bad tonight

I don't know how much he can work on it in the summer. He can watch a lot of tape, but the best "work" for it is during games. That's the one good thing about playing for his national team. While the rules are a bit different, it's still the fastest and most skilled non-NBA basketball, and he needs as much high-level experience as possible at this stage. I thought summer league was a big mistake for him last year. Just wasted his time and maybe even instilled an unwarranted level of confidence because he was killing lesser competition.
If the Raptors ever play the Bulls in the playoffs its going to be intense. How many technicals were thrown? You could see JV's frustration out there. Lowry even with a fairly sh!t game (mainly due to his fouls) came through with that clutch 3. Too bad DeMar couldn't get that one passed Butler. Would have liked a better play but really DD was playing the best and he deserved to take that shot. Also helps with his confidence if he's ever put in that position again.
Good game overall.. too bad they lost. Next three games should be gimmies (although Cleveland is playing much better).. have to win them all to keep the 3rd seed alive.
Yeah........I don't particularly want to face this team in the first round of the playoffs.
I disagree with Jack about the Nets though. Definitely not a sure thing because they're vets...but they've got no inside presence and no legs. Think the Raps have a decent chance, and think it would be the most fun series to win, for the "fuck you Pierce and Garnett!" perspective.
The Bulls though...they're so smart, really exposed the youth of JV and Ross tonight with their intelligent cutting and stuff. No thx
Did anyone notice Hansbrough tackle Dunleavy in the game? Didn't notice at first, but after careful observation I did.
JV was a puppy tonight against the bulls 2 and 2? really? Watch the tape look what Hansbro does battling for position shorter and getting boards JV just does these dumb taps at the ball hes taller and a better leaper than Hansbro and he sucks at getting boards.
He needs some serious drill work. It was so embarrassing Casey was right to pull him he was a complete no show, I can understand not scoring its the Bulls they dont give up paint baskets but at least get the board and go to the line, its pretty sad that a center never goes to the line.
