Bachelor Brings Home Four ICPA Awardsby Wyatt Lewis '13 • April 12, 2010 Share:
Five Wabash men traveled to the annual Indiana College Press Association meeting Saturday at Ball State University to represent the Bachelor staff and receive four awards.
The awards include: 1st place to Gary James, John McGaughey, and Steve Henke, for best news or feature series, 3rd place to Peter Robbins; Trevor Counceller, and Wyatt Lewis for best news or feature series; 2nd place for best staff editorial, and 2nd place for best special issue.
"While some of the guys may be disappointed in bringing home four awards after last year's Best Small Newspaper Award, I'm proud," said Howard W. Hewitt, Bachelor advisor. "The state press association cut the number of contest divisions from four to three. We are the smallest College in all of ICPA. We're now competing against University of Indianapolis, DePauw, and Evansville which all have some formal Journalism classes or programs."
Gary James '10, the Bachelor Editor-in-Chief, remained hopeful for the future,
"It's disappointing we didn't place this year," James said. "The reality is we were competing against more schools with journalism programs than we have in previous years. Even so, staffers won several awards. We have just elected a new editor, (Riley Floyd '13) and I think our newspaper will continue to be strong, relevant, and engaging."
Hewitt agreed with James on the Bachelor's growth, "I'm real proud of the guys' teamwork in picking up first and third in the Best News Series category and our other two awards. We've really developed some writing/reporting depth over the years."

San Jose Earthquakes forward Alan Gordon was added to the United States' CONCACAF Gold Cup roster on Wednesday ahead of a quarterfinal match against El Salvador.
Gordon replaced Club Tijuana striker Herculez Gomez. He joins Earthquakes teammates Chris Wondolowski and Clarence Goodson as the United States takes on El Salvador on Sunday, July 21 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md.
A 10-year MLS veteran, Gordon made his United States debut on Oct. 12, 2012 in a CONCACAF World Cup Qualifier against Antigua and Barbuda. Gordon came off the bench and picked up a game-winning assist on Eddie Johnson's 90th-minute goal. That appearance is his only cap with the national team.
Gordon is the third-leading scorer for San Jose in 2013 with three goals and two assists. He broke through in 2012 with a career-high 13 goals and seven assists, helping the Earthquakes to the club's third Supporters' Shield trophy.
The U.S. Men's National Team cruised through Group C play with an unblemished 3-0-0 record. Wondolowski scored five goals during the process while he and Goodson drew starts against Belize and Costa Rica. Should the United States get past El Salvador on Sunday, they would face the winner of Honduras vs. Costa Rica in a semifinal on Wednesday, July 24 at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
In addition to Gordon, three others were added to the United States' roster. That list includes: Eddie Johnson, Omar Gonzalez and Matt Besler. Departing camp along with Gomez are: Corey Ashe, Jack McInerney, and Oguchi Onyewu.

A brief note about this section by Owain
A note from Owain (Principle Investigator on the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK) "Towards Hydrocitizenship" project.
thousands of books could be listed here. For example, books about the
seas, rivers, rain, water and biology, SUDs, sacred waters, history of
water, and on and on. And no harm if they are! This very brief note just
explains that - in the first instance - the books we are hoping to add
here will either be what we consider to be key books about water which
address it in important and interesting ways - particularly those
seeking to think water holistically, ecologically, poetically, creatively - or just books we like the look of more generally
Of course suggestions are welcome.
And thanks to all who have made suggestions.

MONDAY, July 18, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Retired pro football players may face a higher risk of mild cognitive impairment, a potential precursor of Alzheimer's disease, a new study suggests.
"It appears there may be a very high rate of cognitive impairment in these retired football players, compared to the general population in that age range," said lead researcher Christopher Randolph, a neuropsychologist at Loyola Medical University Medical Center in Chicago.
Randolph was scheduled to present the study findings Monday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference 2011, in Paris.
A second study to be presented at the conference found military veterans who had suffered a traumatic brain injury faced more than twice the risk of developing dementia.
"Traumatic head injury is the best known environmental risk for late-life dementia," said Dr. Sam Gandy, a professor of neurology and psychiatry and associate director of the Mount Sinai Alzheimer's Disease Research Center in New York City, who was not involved with either study.
"Football, soccer, hockey and exposures to IEDs [improvised explosive devices] in Iraq and Afghanistan are all contributing to the incidence of late-life dementia," he added.
The first study found that men who played in the National Football League seem to have a higher risk of developing mild cognitive impairment, which can lead to Alzheimer's disease.
The debate over head injuries among pro football players and the potential for lasting neurological damage has generated a steady stream of headlines in recent years. Last summer, the National Football League issued posters for locker rooms that alerted players to the possible effects of concussions, using words like "depression" and "early onset of dementia," according to The New York Times.
Randolph's study found that among 513 retired players, 35 percent had signs of possible mild cognitive impairment.
Some of the former players were then given more comprehensive tests at the Center for the Study of Retired Athletes at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. The ex-players were compared with 41 similar non-athletes with no cognitive impairment and with 81 people with cognitive impairment.
The former players had similar impairments as those non-athletes with cognitive impairment, but were significantly younger and slightly less impaired, the researchers found.
The findings suggest that repeated head trauma from playing football may lead to earlier onset of degenerative diseases, such as mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's, the researchers said.
"However, it would take additional studies to confirm this," Randolph said. "So for now, these studies should be considered very preliminary."
Dr. Ira R. Casson is a former co-chairman of the National Football League's panel on head injuries, and a neurologist at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y. He said he "would be hesitant to draw any major conclusions from the study."
It isn't really known whether NFL players are at a higher risk for dementia, Casson said, adding there isn't a lot of data about the risk of mild cognitive impairment among men.
"If the question is do NFL players have a higher risk of dementia later in life than non-NFL players -- we don't have enough data to answer that yet," he said.
Results of the second study found that traumatic brain injury among older veterans was associated with a nearly threefold increased risk of dementia.
"The data suggest that traumatic brain injury in older veterans may predispose them toward development of symptomatic dementia. And they raise concern about the potential long-term consequences of TBI [traumatic brain injury] in younger veterans," lead researcher Dr. Kristine Yaffe, a professor of psychiatry, neurology and epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco, said in an Alzheimer's Association news release.
Yaffe's team collected data on nearly 282,000 U.S. veterans aged 55 and older who received medical care through the Veterans Health Administration from 1997 through 2000. None of the veterans had dementia at the start of the study.
The researchers found that among veterans who had suffered a traumatic brain injury, 15.3 percent developed dementia, compared with 6.8 veterans who didn't suffer such an injury.
"This issue is important because traumatic brain injury is very common," said Yaffe, who is also director of the Memory Disorders Program at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. "About 1.7 million people experience a traumatic brain injury each year in the United States, primarily due to falls and car crashes. Traumatic brain injury is also referred to as the 'signature wound' of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, where traumatic brain injury accounts for 22 percent of casualties overall and 59 percent of blast-related injuries."
Gandy said these new studies could have major implications for high school and college athletes. "Just last year, the first college student committed suicide from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which he must have developed during high school football," he noted.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a progressive, degenerative disease in people who have had multiple concussions or other head injuries.
Dr. Gail L. Rosseau, a neurologist at the Northshore University Health System in suburban Chicago and spokeswoman for the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, said it's not clear whether concussions lead directly to dementia.
"We don't know the answer," she said. "It's an area of very aggressive research, but we just don't know enough yet. But the implications are enormous because of the huge numbers of adults and children who are involved in sports."

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africans Trevor Fisher Jnr and Richard Sterne kept the joint lead in the Joburg Open on Saturday after they both carded 68s in the third round.
The pair go into Sunday's final round locked on 19-under-par for the tournament, five shots clear at the top of the leaderboard.
Sterne is a five-times European Tour winner, but has not claimed a trophy since 2008, while Fisher is seeking his first win on the tour.
Fisher surged ahead on Saturday having gone out in 33 in his first nine holes, but three bogies coming home allowed his rival to stay in touch.
It could have been different after a fine approach to the 18th green left Fisher a 10-foot putt for eagle, while Sterne landed in the greenside bunker.
But an excellent save out of the sand gave Sterne a birdie and, when Fisher let the eagle chance slip, the opportunity to take the overnight lead was gone.
A quartet of players are five shots back, including twice winner Charl Schwartzel.
The 2011 Masters champion shot a bogey-free 68 to stay in the hunt, along with Chilean Felipe Aguilar (70), and home players Jaco van Zyl (67) and George Coetzee (70).
South African Garth Mulroy produced the round of the day, with a 65 which took him to 12-under for the tournament. The 2011 Joburg Open runner-up sunk eight birdies to go into Sunday tied for eighth place.
With thunderstorms predicted for Sunday afternoon, the tee-off times for the fourth round have been brought forward, with the leaders playing in a three-ball.

NMT Student Shoots (Pool) to Win
SOCORRO, N.M., July 17, 2009 – New Mexico Tech student Chris Aitken is competing in a national billiards tournament, the 2009 9-Ball Championships, held in Normal, Ill., on July 21 – 23. Chris is a senior computer science major at the science and engineering research university.
Aitken is the son of John and Jean Aitken of Meeker, Colorado
Aitken will be posting reports on his progress to his Facebook page during the event. His fans should check http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=110000987 to follow his activities.
Aitken qualified for the tournament by participating in a qualifying tournament in New Mexico Tech's game room in the fall of 2008. He then placed sixth in the regional tournament which was held in Utah in February.
Aitken is a member of New Mexico Tech's Billy Aards Club, which specializes in billiards and related games. New Mexico Tech has been participating in tournaments held by the Association of College Unions International (ACUI) since the spring of 2001.
Ray Piworunas, who was advisor to the Billy Aards Club until last year, had this advice to offer Chris: "A prime focus would be staying calm so the thinking and execution doesn't lock-up or stutter. His tournament experience in other disciplines could be a plus."
Tech's Office of Auxiliary Services pays travel and tournament fees for Tech students to attend the competition. and then in a regional qualifier in Utah in February.
Aitken commented, "I am thrilled that my hard work in the Game Room has allowed me to play at this level. I am grateful for the support of the school, and all of my friends, without their help I could not have gotten this far."
Qualifiers for the next ACUI tournament will be held in the Tech game room in November 2009.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan comes off as influential and prescient in an article in the May issue of The American Prospect. Titled "The Man the Banks Fear Most," the piece by Harold Meyerson is actually a portrait of New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and how he "compelled" President Obama to change course this January and launch a criminal investigation of Wall Street's role in the 2008 economic meltdown.
Donovan is described as having spent two and a half frustrating years trying to persuade banks to voluntarily reduce mortgages for millions of underwater homeowners. He also was skeptical of the adequacy of ill-fated proposals by state attorneys general to settle the cases against banks that engaged in so-called "robo-signing" of masses of risky loans, and said so to Obama.
As the article has it, Donovan "had long favored such an investigation but had been unable to overcome the opposition of other administration officials." But only after he teamed up with fellow New Yorker Schneiderman and the settlement proposal had died did the administration shift its position. Obama announced the Justice Department probe in his Jan. 24 State of the Union address

The Essex Nine traveled to Melrose for the first time in several years as the Melrose Pondfielders hosted their Victorian Fair. The first game saw the Pondfielders jump out to a big lead but the Essex Nine was able to close the gap to 8-7 in the eighth. Things looked promising in the top of the 9th when Essex's lead off batter got to second with no outs, but unfortunately that runner was stranded on second as the next three strikers were not able to move the runner and Essex fell 8-7.
In the second game the Essex bats came to life piling hit after hit and finally taking the game 17-3. The pitching and defense also kept the Pondfielders off base and scoreless after the 2nd inning. The EBBC would like to thank the Pondfielders for a great day and are happy that the Pondfielders were able to play in Melrose again.
Saturday September 18th is the annual Ipswich Harvestfest at Spencer Peirce Little Farm (5 Littles Lane Newbury, MA).

Katie's Take
The importance of friendship has long been linked to our very survival. These days while we still cherish friends, we tend to undervalue their role in our lives. With the declining size of families and the tendency for adult children to move further away from home, we are increasingly dependent on our friends to fill traditional family roles. As people marry later, or often not at all, our friendships may be gaining more influence than the relationship with a spouse or partner. Carlin Flora, author of Friendfluence, evaluates the effect that our friends have on us and has found that the influence of our friends could even be affecting our health.
Psychologists have long believed that friendships have a direct affect on our overall health and are closely linked to our life expectancy. Research has shown that having few friends is the mortality risk equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Being with good friends lowers your blood pressure and has shown to increase our chances of recovering from disease. If a friend gains weight or gets depressed, we are more likely to also gain weight or get depressed. On that same note, friends who make positive life choices tend to influence those around them to make the same choices. We see this increase as our digital circles become larger. This can illustrate how we adapt to the norms of those we are emotionally bonded to, even if we don't see them as often as we see other people. Through social media, our friends often are the ones who influence what articles we read and where we get our news.
According to Flora, if you take a moment to reflect on the different relationships in your life, you will find a unique combination of influences. Some correspond to the length of time we have had the person and the frequency in which we see them while others may depend on the impact of the time and place in which you had that friend, even if they play a minimal role in your life. The key, says Flora, is having a balance of old and new friends, those who you see frequently and have a direct impact on your life and those who have an influential presence even if it is intermittent.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A leading Israeli Arab Muslim cleric said at the weekend that the Jewish state will very soon cease to exist and the whole of the country will come under Sharia (strict Islamic) law as another piece in the puzzle to reconstituting the Islamic Caliphate.
In an interview with a local Arabic-language newspaper, Sheikh Kamal Khatib, deputy head of northern Israel's Islamic Movement, insisted that the world is "on the threshold of a new era. The future belongs to Islam and the Muslims."
Khatib said that in preparation for the coming Islamic takeover, Muslims who hold Israeli citizenship like himself should begin to actively rebel against the state by refusing to cooperate with and forming alternatives to the Israeli authorities.
Also at the weekend, Khatib's boss, Sheikh Raed Salah denounced current peace negotiations leading to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Arab conflict as an "evil Israeli scheme." Salah, who is also an Israeli citizen, has long maintained that that Muslim world must not recognize Israel's right to exist.

Subscribe To Gravity Featurette Reveals How Alfonso Cuaron Made Movie Magic Updates
I've already subscribed
For the most part, I choose to believe that Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity is magic. Not just "movie magic," which somehow brings our imaginations to life on screen. But actual magic. I've screened the film numerous times, and I can't see the usual seams that exist in blockbuster pictures, the moments where you look at a scene and say, "Oh, there's where they filmed against green screen" or "You can practically see the wires in that shot."
Instead, I'm convinced that Cuaron somehow blasted Sandra Bullock and George Clooney into the stratosphere, then coached them on how to act in Zero-G conditions, creating the most believable space drama audiences have ever seen. Sadly, the video above (shared via The Hollywood Reporter) proves this isn't the case. Cuaron filmed in various studios, and his cast had their feet planted firmly on the ground. Usually.
The clip says Gravity is all about adversity. Yet, the movie has faced very little since opening in theaters in October. Reviews were overwhelmingly positive. The movie boasts a 97% Fresh grade on Rotten Tomatoes, with only 8 misguided fools giving it a rotten score. Financially speaking. Gravity is the sixth-highest grossing movie of 2013, banking $253 million domestically and $652M worldwide. All of the movies above Gravity on the box-office charts are sequels. For those who adore wholly original sci-fi storytelling, Gravity is a godsend.
The purpose of the video, as you might imagine, is to put Cuaron's accomplishment back on the radars of Oscar voters as we head into the final days of this year. The movie recently collected 10 nominations from the Critics' Choice Movie Awards, but was topped by American Hustle and 12 Years a Slave, Oscar contenders who collected 13 noms a piece. Gravity should find its way into the major Oscar categories when those nominations are released. But behind-the-scenes featurettes like this remind Oscar voters of the amount of craft that does into a magic act like Gravity. I pray that it is rewarded with Oscar's blessings, but understand that this is a very crowded year, and the movie already has plenty of victories under its belt.
Looking for more blasts of the movie's breathtaking visuals? Check out this full trailer, which shows Bullock and her director in their glory.

Genius Snack Alert: Beer and Bacon Battered Deep Fried Doritos
Take any food, deep fry it or add some bacon, and you've got us hooked. There's really nothing better than a nasty, greasy mess or extra meat strips to really make our testosterone sing. Think about it-- would you eat raw turkey testicles? Probably not. What about fried turkey testicles? Solid maybe. There are rare moments, however, when these two perfect cooking tactics combine to make an insane creation. This is one of those moments.
We'd like to introduce you to the most genius culinary invention of 2012-- beer and bacon battered deep fried Doritos. They're exactly what they sound like, made by "mixing equal parts flour and beer and then tossing in some diced bacon pieces," AKA incorporating all our favorite foods into one tasty triangle of snack mastery.
The guys over at Dude Foods are responsible for this ultimate man food, and we don't know how those geniuses came up with such a simple yet ideal combo of grease, salt, beer and crunch, but thank heavens they did. The thing is, if you want a taste of the stuff, you have to make it yourself. The good news is that the recipe is ridiculously easy, and it's definitely worth the risk of clogging a couple of your arteries, at least once.

YORK, Pa. – The York College women's track & field squad hosted a meet featuring Gettysburg, Messiah, and Washington Adventist Tuesday afternoon in York. Of the three scored teams, the Spartans took second with 75 points.
The Green and White secured eight event victories on the day including a school-record performance by rookie Jasmine Smith in the long jump. The freshman nabbed the victory in event with a tremendous 5.45-meter (17' 10.75") leap, which not only breaks the previous Spartan record but also put her in the top-15 women long-jumpers in Division III this season.
Two of the Spartans' eight victories came from sophomore Laura Rowlands. Rowlands tallied her two triumphs in the high jump (1.55 meters / 5' 1") and the triple jump (10.60 meters / 34' 9.5").
In the throws, Katie Shinn and Meaghan Jackson each recorded first-place points for York. Shinn wrangled the top spot in the hammer with a heave of 36.36 meters (119' 3") while Jackson posted the victory in the shot put with a 10.95-meter (35' 11.25") toss.
"Katie pr'd today and is continuing to get better," Spartan head coach Erick Camodeca said. "We are really happy to for Meaghan. She can do that and more."
In the pole vault, Ashley Razzano picked up the win while Mandy Parshall collected first-place points for the Green and White in the 1500 meters and contributed in the victorious 4x800 relay. Parshall combined Megan Phillips, Misty Parshall, and Caroline DeLany to grab the win.
Smith, who is just in her freshman season, added two individual second-place marks and aided the 4x100 squad to a runner-up performance. She took second in the 100 with a 13.00 time and second in the 200 courtesy of a 27.72 result. In the 4x100, Smith joined with Amber Douglas, Rowlands, and Deborah Fidele to finish with a 51.46, just missing the school record mark of 51.35 set in April of 2011.
Dana Mangano collected a second-place finish as she leapt 4.86 meters (15' 11.50") in the long jump.
Ashley Menniti's 30.06-meter (98' 7") toss in the hammer throw garnered third while Brittany DeManda grabbed third in the javelin with a 31.70-meter (104" 0") throw.
Back on the track, Phillips posted a 2:33.60 to take fifth in the event. Mandy Parshall (11:16.12) and DeLany (11:28.94) took fifth and seventh in the 3000 meters, respectively.
The Spartans head south for their next meet as they travel to Durham, N.C. for the Duke Invitational on April 6 and 7. A contingent of Spartan student-athletes are slated to compete at the Goucher Classic in Towson, Md. on April 7.

(Reuters) - Out-of-favor quarterback Brandon Weeden came off the bench to help the Cleveland Browns record their third consecutive victory with a dominant final quarter in their 37-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Thursday.
The much-maligned Browns, written off by some after losing the first two games of the NFL season, surged to victory on the back of 20 unanswered points after trailing deep into the third quarter.
With the win, the Browns improved to 3-2 and sit top of the AFC North, while the Bills fell to 2-3 in the same division.
In a game in which both starting quarterbacks suffered knee injuries, Cleveland fans feared the worst when Brian Hoyer limped off less than four minutes into the contest and was replaced by Weeden.
Weeden started the season as first choice signal-caller before suffering a thumb injury, which gave Hoyer a chance to shine. Hoyer played so well that he made the starting spot his own but Weeden took his chance to stake his claim once more.
He was booed by the home crowd early on, but the jeers soon turned to cheers as he completed 13-of-24 passes for 197 yards and one touchdown, while kicker Billy Cundiff chipped in with three field goals for the hosts.
"I'm still sticking my neck out for this football team," Weeden told the NFL Network.
"It was tough. I've had zero reps the last two weeks. I was a little rusty to start but I've got great guys around me."
Buffalo's rookie quarterback Jeff Tuel did not fare as well after coming on in the third quarter to replace E.J. Manuel, completing just 8-of-20 attempts for 80 yards and coughing up a vital late interception.
Cleveland failed to register a point in the first quarter, but managed to keep Buffalo off the scoreboard in the second and fourth.
The Browns had taken a 17-10 lead into halftime on the back of a brilliant 79-yard punt return by Travis Benjamin but the home side fell seven points behind after the Bills scored two rushing touchdowns in the third quarter.
The hosts fought back but the result remained in doubt until a 44-yard touchdown by safety T.J. Ward after an interception with less than two minutes left sealed victory for Cleveland.
It was the first turnover of the game by either team.

Tech Teams Find Redemption in FlagstaffFLAGSTAFF, Ariz., October 4, 2011 – Following disastrous starts on a rainy weekend at the 31st annual Northern Arizona Tens tournament in Flagstaff over the weekend, each of New Mexico Tech's rugby clubs - the Queens and Pygmies - had to find their way to regroup and end on a winning note. For both teams, doing so provided a happy ending to what threatened to be a miserable, wet weekend.
|The Queens of Rugby -- New Mexico Tech's women's team -- at the Northern Arizona 10s tournament. Above, the Queens pose with four guest players from the Las Vegas (Nev.) Slots following their win over Northern Arizona University. From left are Guest 1, player Tanya Ross, Guest 2, Katie Trujillo, Jade Horton (with ball), coach Jordan Fastle, Guest 3, Willie Desir, Guest 4, Danielle Shipley, Lisa Sanchez and Michaela Rempkowski.
|The New Mexico Tech Pygmies rugby team in Flagstaff, Ariz., Sunday morning following their 26-0 win over Embry Riddle University at the Northern Arizona Tens Tournament in Flagstaff.
The resurgent Queens had audaciously entered the ten-woman competition with only seven traveling players - three with marginal playing experience - and were destined to struggle against established clubs from Arizona and beyond. Even after borrowing three volunteers from other teams for their first match Saturday morning against the Las Vegas Slots, the affair was a predictable runaway for the eventual woman's bracket champions, 50-odd points to nil. An hour later the Queens showed marginal improvement in losing to New Mexico State, against whom Tech's new players had debuted the preceding Saturday, but lost a player to injury in the process.
By the end of their third match of the day against Arizona State University's fleet and accomplished team, the Queens still had not budged the scoreboard, and host team Northern Arizona University waited in the wings for the final afternoon match.
For the rookie-laden, short-on-numbers Queens, it turned out to be a case of "who you know." Four veteran players from the Las Vegas Slots donned Tech's colors to help show the way, and the Queens responded in high fashion to produce a crowd-pleasing 34-0 victory. Among the six tries scored by Queens and Co., Techies Danielle Shipley and Jade Horton each put down one.
Meanwhile the Pygmies's campaign for a five-peat ended abruptly Saturday morning with a 45-17 drubbing by the Tempe Rugby Club's Under-23 side. The men's club understudies combined speed with power that sometimes crossed the line of sportsmanship and three key players - lineout specialist Tyler Augster and captains Isaiah Sanchez and Stefan Marr - were relegated to spectator status through injury with three matches still to play.
As the clouds opened and a day of drenching commenced the Tech team looked shell-shocked against host Northern Arizona University, a team they had not lost to in five years. The Landsharks scored one try in the first half and two in the second to drop Tech 21-0.
The Pygmies finally got untracked with a resounding 29-7 win over Arizona State University. Prop James Chavez, recently returned from a three-week pilgrimage to the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, led the five forwards in dominating ball possession for a hungry Tech back line led by Brock Romero, Enrique Koerdell, and Dustin Webb. Webb and Romero each bagged a pair of five-point tries, and halfback Jerod Aragon claimed one by driving – and being driven - over the line in a classic piece of close-quarter forward play.
On Sunday morning a Tech team comprised almost entirely of rookies met traditional NA Tens rival Black Sheep of Embry Riddle University in a friendly match. (Tempe Under 23 went on to defeat NAU in the final.) With only Romero, Koerdell, and forward captain Blaine Trujillo on the field for guidance, the young Pygmies poured it on early and center C.V. Harris of Magdalena scored his first career try inside two minutes. Trujillo's young forward pack consistently drove the Black Sheep scrum backwards, resulting in a feast of ball for first-year scrum half Rick Cosentino to distribute competently to the backs. Harris added another try before halftime from a expertly-timed pass from Romero, who then added the two-point conversion kick.
In the second half, battering runs up the middle by lock forward Lee Abeyta and props Anthony Cortez and Scott Raymond cleared the way for speedy freshman wing Aaron Long to collect two tries on the outside. First-time hooker Ryan Johnson showed mettle in a new position and lock Ken Smith tackled and rucked enthusiastically. Romero's two conversion kicks completed Tech's redemption, 26-0.
The Pygmies return to action in the High Desert Classic tournament at Albuquerque's Bullhead Park October 15-16, with the Queens most likely to play unattached.

The 2007 Ig Nobel Chemistry prize winner was Mayu Yamamoto (International Medical Centre of Japan) for developing a way to extract vanillin (vanilla fragrance and flavour) from cow dung. The 2007 Ig Nobel Prize winners were announced 5th October 2007 and prizes prizes awarded at Harvard in America. To celebrate, a local ice cream bar put on a tasting session of a new flavour, Yum-A-Moto Vanilla Twist, concocted in honour of the 2007 Ig Nobel Chemistry Prize winner Mayu Yamamoto. The mind boggles.
The 2006 Ig Nobel Chemistry prize winner was Antonio Mulet, José Javier Benedito and José Bon of the University of Valencia, Spain, and Carmen Rosselló of the University of Illes Balears, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, for their study "Ultrasonic Velocity in Cheddar Cheese as Affected by Temperature".

One of the reasons I went on my recent trip to Switzerland was to attend an event dear to my ancestors. The event was the Rüeblimahl held at the one of the medieval guilds of Bern, the Metzgern Zunft or in English the Butcher's Guild. The de Buren/von Büren family has been a member of the guild since its arrival in Bern in 1326, so it was a great honor to represent the family again within its hallowed walls.
The Rüeblimahl is a meal that commemorates the aftermath of the Battle of Laupen in 1339 when hungry soldiers from the guild only found carrots to eat from a local field. While the feast may commorate the eating of carrots, do not be fooled, this is not the Vegetable guild, it is the Butcher's guild, so meat, meat and more meat is on the menu for this occasion. In fact, when I visited Franz von Graffenried, the President of the Burgergemeinde Bern the afternoon before the event, he joked with me "You won't be eating any carrots, that's for sure." and he added "I hope you don't have anything planned that afternoon." Well I did actually, my time was short in Bern, I figured the lunch couldn't last all afternoon, could it?
Daniel Claude and myself in the Pig's corner. Thanks to Jürg Stauffer for the Photo.
I was greeted at 11:45 am by Daniel Claude the son of the President of the guild, Martin Sauerer, as well as fellow guild member Jürg Stauffer. They were both very kind and took me under their wing. They infomed me that I would be sitting with them in the Pig's corner, a place traditionally reserved for hog butchers, but now occupied by the young members of the guild. We started to make small talk and when I told Daniel that I had an interview at 2:30 pm he said, "Oh, we won't be done by then. Better make it 4 or 5 pm." What? I was triple booked all afternoon. I was sure he was pulling my leg.
We started the festivities with a nice apperitif of Swiss white wine in the cellar and then moved into the dining hall. We were packed to the gills at three long tables addorned with guild artifacts and carrots, just for decoration.
We started with soup, introductions and speeches. The first speech was made by the President of the guild who after acknolwedging his many important guests, most from other local guilds, came to me. He said that a member of one of the oldest families in Bern and of the guild, a von Büren was with them today, and had also come from California for the event. He stopped speaking Bärn Dütsch (Swiss-German dialect of Bern) of which I know probably two words and spoke in French for my benefit saying that I was always welcome at the Butcher's guild. I was obviously moved. There were more speeches as the wine flowed.
The second course was bone marrow and liver, and not just one plate mind you. The marrow on bread with salt was very tasty. Someone remarked that it didn't matter how much wine we were all drinking since we were eating liver. The third course arrived with heaping mouds of beef, special sausages and green beans. The sausages were my favorite, simply outstanding. After a couple of helpings I realized that I had to meet a reporter from Swissinfo who was doing a story on me, a California-Swiss coming back to his roots. As the reporter and I walked around the old town I felt a deep connection to Bern, one that grows each time I come back.
After my appointments I came back at 5 pm for some eau-de-vie with those who were still there. Jürg Stauffer and I talked for a bit and then I headed on to Neuchâtel. I was treated with genuine warmth by all those I met and really felt like a member of the guild.
I hope to attend again next year, and this time I will stay for the duration, if only to have a couple more of those sausages.

The Falklands War was a remarkable episode in the history of three countries: Great Britain, Argentina and the Falkland Islands. It brought about fundamental changes in each case. It was a dazzling military accomplishment too, and because of the intense worldwide media interest at the time the detailed record now available provides a unique case study for historians to examine a small war from every conceivable angle; militarily, politically, and sociologically.
In Britain at that time, the Thatcher government was falling rapidly in public opinion polls and was facing the prospect of losing the next election after just one very difficult term in office. Margaret Thatcher was propelled into two further terms in office by the decisive leadership she had shown and by the sense of national regeneration and optimism following victory in the South Atlantic.
Argentina had been ruled by a brutal and bloody military dictatorship which had launched the invasion in a desperate attempt to shore up popular support. It worked; the nation rallied behind the Junta in an outpouring of nationalistic pride. Their defeat led directly to the end of military rule and the establishment of democracy in that country. However, it did not mean the end of Argentine aspirations over the Falkland Islands.
The Falkland Islands was seemingly forgotten and unwanted, and starved of investment by absentee landlords. Very few people in Britain even knew where the Falklands were. The invasion and subsequent liberation changed everything. The Islanders found a new sense of vitality, made economic and political reforms, and over the following twenty years turned their country into a prosperous place to be, with a bright future.
As a military venture, Argentina made a number of catastrophic errors. Errors of judgement, errors of timing, errors of tactics, and errors of leadership. Despite all that they still had all the advantages, and once in possession of the Islands they should have been unmovable. Britain had to send a hastily assembled fleet half way round the globe, with minimal support at such extreme range, make a hazardous amphibious landing, and assault well-established defences to recapture the Islands.
In accomplishing that objective, Britain showed the value of a well-trained, well-led professional force. The task force, as it was called, comprised around 100 ships of all shapes and sizes, many requisitioned and still crewed by civilians, and altogether almost 30,000 men and women. They were awarded the South Atlantic Medal for their part in the war. The South Atlantic Medal Association (1982) and this website are theirs, and this is their story.

Hines Ward is one of the iconic Pittsburgh Steelers. As such, Ward playing football in anything but black and gold would feel like a mismatch.
But NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora told "NFL Total Access" Friday that Ward won't be back next season, according to his sources.
As the Steelers work to restructure contracts and manuever below the salary cap, the circumstances are dictating the twilight of Ward's 14-year career. On the books, he has one year and $4 million left on his current contract. On the field, Ward also took a backseat to youngsters Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown, posting his lowest receiving totals since his rookie season in 1998.
The Steelers have adjusted the contracts of CB Ike Taylor and linebackers Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley. They might not be done, as La Canfora suggested S Troy Polamalu ($6.25 million next season) and QB Ben Roethlisberger ($11.6) could be next.
Ward has left the window open to playing elsewhere next season, but the choice might not be his if he can't work out his own restructured deal.

Computer Science Couple Designing Android App
SOCORRO, N.M. December 6, 2012– Two computer science students are taking their senior research project to an international conference – the same project they presented at the inaugural Student Research Symposium last spring at New Mexico Tech.
Carl and Rachel Tucker are headed to Texas to present their research and development of a new Android app.
"It's weird that in our world of technology that we don't have this app available. There are quite a few stop signs out there that you can't see very well," Carl Tucker said. "We were tasked with creating an app for an embedded device and this was our concept piece – originally as a class assignment for a 400 level class."
Carl and Rachel, who are married, wrote their code in Java, connected their work to GoogleMaps and accessed a MySQL database. The Java code takes readings from the built in GPS and Compass sensors of a smart phone. The app then compares this information against similar data stored in the MySQL database about the location and orientation of nearby stop signs. GoogleMaps provides the main Graphical User Interface.
The app isn't fully functional yet, but Carl and Rachel hope to find some time to fine tune their work in the coming months.
They will give an oral presentation at the International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks in San Marcos, Texas, from December 13 to 15.
"This is a fairly big deal for us," Carl said. "It's an honor."
Natives of Farmington, the Tuckers earned associate's degrees at San Juan Community College in Farmington before transferring to Tech. They are now in the home stretch and expect to graduate in December 2012 with their bachelor's. They both hope to start master's programs, also in computer science.

On May 20, we were reminded that natural disasters of all kinds can bring devastation on a massive scale. In just a few seconds, the lives of Moore, Okla., residents were changed by an EF5 tornado that destroyed entire buildings while injuring or killing residents as they took shelter.
We can't prevent natural disasters, but we can prepare for them. By being ready and knowing what to do in a disaster, we can minimize risk, reduce the time it takes to recover and most importantly, prevent the loss of life.
Take a good look at the Graduation 2013 special section. It's full of the graduates from all four county high schools.
Today, about 787 Lancaster County students will march across four graduation stages to receive their high school diplomas.
Later, they'll flip the tassels on their mortarboards as they celebrate their graduation with the friends, family, teachers and administrators who helped them along the way.
Occasionally The Lancaster News receives an email from Gov. Nikki Haley's office announcing that flags across the state will be flown at half-staff on a certain day.
Often the reason is because a South Carolina soldier has been killed in action, usually in Iraq or Afghanistan. We post those announcements on our website.
Those half-staff flags are reminders of why we observe Memorial Day. It is so easy to get caught up in the celebration of the holiday with picnics, cookouts and get-togethers that we forget just why there is a Memorial Day.
The 2013 Celebration of Excellence, the annual Lancaster County School District's salute to the best in education and service, included its annual induction of hall of fame members.
Four deserving individuals, who made an impact in the classroom and beyond, took center stage on Monday, April 29, at the Lancaster Golf Club's Fairway Room.
The latest inductees included Bennett Gunter, C.C. Hanson, Ann Hough and Floyd White.
After more than four years of waiting, the excitement was palpable as Lancaster County officials cut the ribbon April 24 to officially open Walnut Creek Park.
The event, originally slated for last October, but delayed due to legal issues, drew local officials and residents, all eager to see the new 60-acre, $7 million county park complex in Indian Land.
When the 2012-13 school year ends at Indian Land High School, it will mark the end of an era.
For the last 20 years, well over the span of a school career for a student from kindergarten to graduation, Tamara Jacobus has been teaching and coaching at the Lancaster County Class AA high school.
When the ILHS doors close at the end of the month, Jacobus will be leaving for the final time.
It's an ominous sight. The flickering glow from the candle-lit bags illuminate the night. On this night they are a visual reminder of those who either lost their battle with cancer or still doing battle.
The dreadful disease is no respecter of persons and we all know someone – from all walks of life – who have dealt with it or are still dealing with it.
A host of deserving people were in the spotlight at the Kershaw Chamber of Commerce's annual banquet at the Kershaw Country Club.
The awards are a way to honor those who are making a positive impact on business, industry and life in the southern Lancaster County town.
Beverly Timmons was presented with the chamber's highest award. Previously known as the Citizen of the Year award, it is now called the President's Award.

Well, it's about time Lancaster County Council finally took up the controversial issue of B-3 commercial zoning again.
Since council lifted the Panhandle's moratorium on B-3 zoning last June (five days before it was set to expire anyway), the issue had been dead in the water, despite several Panhandle residents' strident calls to bring it back to council's attention.
A highlight of the county high school track season takes center stage, Saturday, April 20, on the Lancaster High School track at the Rice Athletics Building.
The seventh annual KLS Running for Ryan features the county track meet at LHS. Boys and girls squads from Andrew Jackson, Buford, Indian Land and host Lancaster will be there to earn track bragging rights for the 2013 season.
In the past few years, Lancaster County has produced state champions and state qualifiers, and the annual meet seems to bring out the best from around the county.

The sdjson project (Java 7 client) now has snapshot builds available for both the API client library and grabber applications compatible with SD API 20141201.
Starting with this release, the project has migrated to Github with client library deliverables submitted to the jcenter repository and snapshot builds updated frequently on the OJO artifactory repository. Details on how to access the builds are available at: https://github.com/Slugger/sdjson-api
The grabber application official/completed releases will now be delivered to bintray (details and links will be provided at the completion of this new release). Snapshot builds of the grabber aren't being built, but can be had rather easily by building the latest clone (or tarball) of the grabber git repository (as long as you have a JDK then it's literally a single line to generate the grabber distribution zip). All of the details are available here: https://github.com/Slugger/sdjson-grabber

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

Jon Secada Recognized for Raising Hepatitis Awareness as PAHO Celebrates World Hepatitis Day
The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) held a special event yesterday on World Hepatitis Day, recognizing three-time GRAMMY award winner Jon Secada for his work to bring about hepatitis awareness in the Americas. During the event, Jon Secada spoke about his personal experience losing his father to hepatitis C last year. He also spoke of his commitment to educating people in the Americas on the hepatitis viruses throughout his career and through the organization- along with Gregg Allman and Natalie Cole- "Tune In to Hep C".
Dr. Luis Gerardo Castellanos, PAHO Senior Advisor on communicable diseases, discussed the situation of viral hepatitis in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). He stressed the importance of fighting all five types of hepatitis and the right of everyone infected to be given equal attention. The event also highlighted success stories in Argentina and Cuba, as well as a commitment to scale-up prevention strategies in Jamaica. Closing remarks by Dr. Steven Ault, PAHO Regional Advisor on neglected infectious diseases, emphasized spreading awareness and having compassion for those suffering from hepatitis.
The region has taken steps to carry out a World Health Assembly resolution to reduce disease burden in the region All LAC countries have incorporated hepatitis B vaccines into their immunization programs, and Argentina, Panama and Uruguay have also included vaccinations for hepatitis A. Additionally, PAHO has created the Viral Hepatitis Working Group to provide technical assistance and other support to countries working to build their response to hepatitis.
More about Hepatitis in Latin America and the Caribbean
World Hepatitis Day is celebrated on July 28 to raise awareness of this widespread yet rarely discussed disease. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can lead to cirrhosis and cancer, and can be caused by five different viruses (A, B, C, D and E). Depending on the specific virus, hepatitis can be transmitted through contaminated water and food sources or through direct human contact, such as unsafe sexual practices, blood transfusions (although most blood is now screened for the virus), birth from an infected mother or contaminated needles.
Prevalence of hepatitis B in the LAC region varies from 2-4 percent in each country. The prevalence of hepatitis C is 7-9 million adults. Although more than 50 percent of the population acquires immunity to hepatitis A by the age of 15, it still poses a threat in the region. Hepatitis E is not as common, and little is known about the epidemiology in the LAC region for this type. Hepatitis D is reliant on Hepatitis B for infection and is common among indigenous peoples in the Amazonian region.

GoDaddy Says It Doesn't Support PIPA Either, As Domains Keep Transferring Away
from the bye-bye deptAfter GoDaddy made its very public announcement that it no longer supports SOPA, after being a very vocal supporter (despite the fact that it almost certainly violated the original version of the law), many have doubted the sincerity of the company, especially since it confined its remarks to SOPA. So after getting some more pressure, the company put out a separate clarifying statement that it doesn't support PIPA (PROTECT IP) either.
Still, there are plenty of people who don't buy it. It didn't help that the company's new CEO (though he's been at the company in other roles for a while) gave a really weak answer, when pressed on the company's level of support, suggesting that it may have just stepped back from publicly supporting the bills, but hasn't actually switched its full position:
Adelman couldn't commit to changing its position on the record in Congress when asked about that, but said "I'll take that back to our legislative guys, but I agree that's an important step." But when pressed, he said "We're going to step back and let others take leadership roles." He felt that the public statement removing their support would be sufficient for now, though further steps would be considered.Either way, it appears people keep on transferring domains. Before the talk of a boycott happened on Thursday, it looked like GoDaddy was losing about 13,000 to 15,000 domains a day anyway. Then, on Friday, when people started transferring en masse, it jumped to 21,054. On Christmas Day, it looks like another 22,542 transferred out, so it doesn't look like people are all that mollified by the public change in position. Another 26,032 were "deleted," according to DailyChanges. And, remember, the "official" day that people had talked about for everyone to transfer their domains wasn't until Thursday, December 29th, so all of this was happening before the "big day." Who knows if the statements are enough to calm people down. For what it's worth, plenty of people are still registering new domains with GoDaddy and transferring them in, but the transfers out and deletions definitely outweigh the new registrations and transfers in. It was definitely enough activity to make GoDaddy realize it was going to be in trouble if it didn't change its position.

Happy Halloween, John Ferguson
It's that time of year once again.
When kids of all ages look forward to dressing up like ghosts and goblins and going door to door to fill up their bags with free candy, hard core Jets fans look back to 1988.
It was the night before Halloween. The Jets were winding up a back-to-back weekend series with the Los Angeles Kings and their newest acquisition, Wayne Gretzky. Before the largest crowd of the season at the Winnipeg Arena, the sleepwalking Jets roared back from a 4-1 deficit to post an 8-4 victory.
The post-game enthusiasm in the dressing room, however, was quieted when Jets' President Barry Shenkarow announced that Vice President and General Manager John Ferguson had been relieved of his duties.
It was one of those classic "where were you when you heard the news" moments. I was leaving the Arena walking along the east side of Polo Park shopping center towards the bus stop on Portage Avenue listening to my portable radio when I heard Curt Keilback's voice tell me that Ferguson was about to be fired.
I think there's still a grin on my face.
It was Michael Gobuty who originally brought Ferguson to Winnipeg in November 1978. Ferguson, the man who helped pry beloved Swedish stars Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg out of Winnipeg, took the Jets' job and assumed control of struggling club. He made a few moves, hired coach Tom McVie, and the Jets went on to capture their third AVCO Cup championship the following spring.
Upon their entry into the NHL, Ferguson continued to build up what had been a bare-bones operation off the ice up to major league standards. He also had the unenviable task of having to rebuild the roster after the NHL took its pound of flesh from the Jets and the other surviving WHA teams. He took a lot of heat for protecting Scott Campbell and letting Kent Nilsson get away, but neither player was going to save those expansion-era Jets.
Ferguson carried a reputation as a man with a fiery temper, who lived and died with every game, but he remained astonishingly patient and stuck with his "Master Plan" of stockpiling draft choices.
It didn't take long before the Jets again became competitive. They became the most improved team in NHL history in 1981-1982 and the future looked bright.
Sadly, that was about as good as it would ever get.
As fans are painfully aware, Ferguson never delivered the Stanley Cup contender that he bombastically promised so often. Though he put his heart and soul into the job, during his nine full seasons at the helm of the Jets, the team had produced a winning record on only two occasions.
Fans, including me, were growing frustrated and angry. The calls for Ferguson's dismissal grew even louder when the Jets got off to a slow start in 1988-1989. Finally, on that fateful Sunday evening, Shenkarow delivered the news that shocked Ferguson and delighted the faithful.
Ferguson's successors would fare little better in the coming years. I felt insulted by the choice of Mike Smith, Ferguson's right hand man, as his successor. It was not inappropriate to simply promote from within an organization that had not delivered any significant results over the past decade.
Nonetheless, Shenkarow's decision to fire Ferguson at that time was entirely correct. Eternal mediocrity was not acceptable.
And that is why when I pass a house fully decked out in Halloween decor, I see John Ferguson's face staring back at me in the jack-o-lanterns.
Happy Halloween, John Ferguson, wherever you are.

It appears this subject has been recently addressed, but I'm not sure if the comments and responses apply to my situation. I send replies to 40-50 messages daily, and save both the original message, and my reply in the sender's sub-folder.
Aside from dragging a message to a specific sub-folder, or moving the message by using my mouse, (right click, move msg to, etc.) is it possible to construct a filter in BarcaPro that could be used to do that? Ie: use control F7 to move a selected message to the sender's sub-folder as specified in a filter that uses the last name of the message sender as the target sub-folder destination? Or something along that line?

It's been on ebay a few times. I've never seen pic, but they said #'s match. Next time on ebay, the car had a POP. No mention of it the first time - depending on the seller they may not have known what it was.....or it's new.
At least it shows a certificate by Jerry - must be authentic and a matcher.

I actually dislike that Jerry makes those certificates. They really don't tell anything, but it's what people show.
