Host Springside Chestnut Hill Academy began to get some things clicking on offense in the second half of last Friday's Girls Inter-Ac field hockey match, but by that time the visiting Penn Charter Quakers were well on the way to a 4-1 victory.
PC earned a 3-0 halftime lead in the contest, and added its fourth and final goal early in the second period before the Lions broke up the shutout with five minutes left to play. Sophomore Allie Billick, who saved SCH from a whitewash, appeared to score a few minutes earlier, as well, but the officials ruled that she had not touched the ball after it was driven into the circle by a teammate.
Both clubs were hoping to bounce back with a league victory after losing Inter-Ac encounters on Monday afternoon. The Lions' very first appearance on their new artificial turf field turned out to be a baptism of fire, as visiting Agnes Irwin triumphed, 5-0. In another Monday match, Charter lost 3-0 on the road at Notre Dame, not that bad an outcome in light of the numbers the Irish have been putting up against many other opponents.
On Friday the Quakers took home a record of 6-3 overall and 2-2 in league play, while the Lions came away 3-6, 0-4.
After some back-and-forth action at the beginning of Friday's bout in Chestnut Hill, SCH earned the first penalty corner of the afternoon, but the play was broken up high in the circle. PC quickly transitioned to offense and chalked up its first point with 3:43 elapsed, when Avery Shoemaker sent the ball close to the goalmouth to set up the goal by sophomore classmate Grace Harbison.
On some subsequent Penn Charter corners, SCH's Billick proved to be an effective defensive flyer, helping freshman goalie Laura Lasprogada (seven saves) keep the cage sealed through a series of restarts for the Quakers. The host team also benefitted from the return of senior Cassie Dunne, who was playing in her first game after recuperating from a summertime ice hockey injury.
Eventually, though, the visitors logged their second goal when Katherine O'Donnell dribbled the ball down low towards the right post and crossed it to the left side, where fellow senior Katy Decker drove it home.
That marker came with 19:56 remaining in the first half, and just over six minutes later the count rose to 3-0 when Harbison harvested the rebound of a long drive by yet another Charter 10th-grader, Layne Wolfington. An SCH sophomore, Francesca Fabiani, entered the game and roused the crowd with a long, powerful shot from the left side, but the ball came back off the leg pads of the Quakers' keeper, 10th-grader Kennedy Kline (five saves).
First-year Springside Chestnut Hill co-caoch Jenny Weir related that in the halftime huddle, "We told them to be more aggressive going to the ball. We were being too passive and sort of waiting for it to come to us, and the other team was beating us to the ball."
It took until the middle of the second period for this advice to take effect. In the meantime, Penn Charter rounded out its total for the day with 18:49 left to play, when senior Anna Wills drove the ball inside and freshman Sophia Toso tipped it in to put the Quakers up 4-0.
Not long after that SCH earned a penalty corner at the other end and made an insertion to the top of the circle. Freshman Remi Filippini pounded the ball back towards the cage, but the shot was blocked and Charter cleared the ball out along the endline.
Lions senior Taylor Wrubel had transported the ball through the midfield a number of times during the game. Now, one of these forays took her down near the right edge of the circle as Billick made a run towards the left post. Wrubel drove the ball across towards that side of the goal and almost everyone saw Billick tap the ball into the cage.
The lead official wasn't clear about what happened, though, and after a consultation with the trail official, who was on the other side of the midfield line during the play, it was ruled that the ball had not been touched inside the circle and there was no goal.
With 4:58 left to play, a Billick shot from almost the same spot resulted in an officially recognized goal for the 4-1 final score. A loss is a loss, but naturally the Lions and their fans would rather have seen a final margin of two points rather than three.
SCH senior Chelsea Richardson (a tri-captain along with Dunne and Wrubel] provides experience within the team's defensive unit, but the Lions also have several young players in the back, with Lasprogata starting along with fellow freshman Mikaela Watson.
"We have some young players on the field, but they've got a lot of talent," pointed out Megan Cipolloni, who is coaching the club along with Weir. "They're working hard and picking things up very quickly."

Even after several recent rainfall events in some parts of the Southwest, much of the region remains in what seems to be a never-ending drought.
The most recent update from the Texas Water Development Board shows 95 percent of the state in some phase of drought.
Significant parts of the state continue to suffer from the most severe drought categories—extreme or exceptional. Much of the Texas Panhandle and large segments of deep South Texas remain in those phases. Much of the central part of the state is classified as severe drought.
Only a few counties in East and Northeast Texas are considered out of drought status, according to the latest drought monitor.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
Conditions across the state are actually worse than they were a year ago when 90 percent of the state was considered in drought. But the situation is slightly improved from three months ago when 96 percent of the state was classified in drought conditions.
"The most recent drought outlook is promising for East Texas," the latest report said. "Most of that area is predicted to be out of drought within three months. The situation in West Texas is more dire with "continuing and developing drought."
Recent reports from Texas AgriLife Extension IPM agents show how widespread the drought is.
Clyde Crumley, IPM agent for the Texas Upper Gulf Coast Region, says conditions remain mostly dry in his area. "The hot, dry weather pattern that has settled in over this part of southeastern Texas is continuing with oppressive high temperatures noted daily," Crumley said in his most recent crop update.
"The widely scattered showers that we are experiencing are welcomed; however, the key word here is 'widely' and if you are fortunate enough to be under the right clouds then count yourself as lucky."
Need more rain
Up in the Panhandle, Manda Anderson, IPM agent for Gaines County, said the area received some rain recently, but not enough.
"Portions of Gaines County have finally received much needed rainfall, but we are still a long way from replenishing our depleted soil moisture," Anderson said. "Rainfall reports range from zero to 2 inches. Sadly, some of this rainfall was accompanied by hail. In cotton, hail damage ranges from a few torn leaves to complete stand loss. The wind and blowing sand continue to wreak havoc in conventional tillage cotton fields, and some producers are having to continuously sand fight in order to prevent complete stand losses."
Anderson said some farmers have lost fields to blowing sand. "We have received reports of complete stand loss due to blowing sand. On the bright side of things, we are very thankful for the rainfall and some producers were able to rest their wells for a little while."
In the West Plains area—Hockley and Cochran Counties—IPM agent Kerry Siders says recent rainfall has helped conditions but farmers still face problems.
"Varied amounts of rain—from one-fourth inch out west to over 5 inches in parts of northeastern Hockley County—have been received over the past week. Some very high winds and hail accompanied these rain events. Crop damage has been widespread."
Siders said no one can minimize the damage some farmers have suffered from weather injury, "but all and all this damage has come with much needed rainfall."
He said a lot of farmers face some tough decisions in coming days and weeks regarding crop insurance and whether to stay with a damaged field. "I do believe a stand of cotton will yield as long as it is a consistent stand of more than 19,000 plants (1.5 plants per foot) and it is squaring. Anything less than this now is questionable."
Varied conditions persist in Oklahoma, as well. A recent crop update from the Southwest Oklahoma Research and Extension Center in Altus indicated that the cotton crop "is off to a tough start in many places. The bad news is that for the month of May, Altus' normal rainfall is 4.81 inches, but we received only 1.29 inches in 2013. Thus far in June we have obtained only 1.35 inches of precipitation, compared to the normal of 4.32."
Conditions have been better to the east. "Dryland areas have encountered spotty thunderstorms which have resulted in a mosaic of variable stands from excellent to poor across the southwestern corner of the state. Rainfall at Altus remains subpar with only 8.2 inches of rainfall received in 2013, compared to the 30-year normal of over 15 inches. Higher rainfall amounts have been noted closer to the Oklahoma City area. May and June are critical months for stand establishment."

Selling prices for houses in Auckland dipped 1.1 per cent last month, according to new figures issued today by the region's largest real estate firm, Barfoot and Thompson.
The average selling price was $585,838.
Company managing director Peter Thompson said the low number of properties for sale was the "most significant factor" affecting the market.
"Restricted choice has been an influencing factor all year, but whereas in the past four months it has contributed to rising prices, in September buyers were cautious about paying more than their assessment of market value.
"That combination of elements trimmed about $6000 off the average selling price during the month.
Prices compared to the same month last year were up 6.9 per cent. Thompson said the firm listed 1266 new properties last month, a 10.7 per cent fall from August. There were 969 sales made during September, down 4.6 per cent from the month before.
"At the end of September we had only 3733 properties on our books, so we are starting the month with available listings remaining at their lowest in a decade."
Thompson said top end properties continued to sell well in September, with 78 homes selling for more than $1 million, representing 8 per cent of all homes sold during the month.
"At the same time we sold 456 homes for less than $500,000, representing 47.1 per cent of all homes sold.

resources such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs and wetlands are suffering from
various problems amongst them pollution originated from point and non-point
sources; shore erosion and habitat lose due to construction and other unsustainable
human activities and unsustainable practices. To stop and advert this trend
there is a need to develop proper planning and management approaches within
the context of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM). Integrated Water
Resource Management as defined by the Global Water Partnership (GWP) is a process
that considers the co-ordination of development and management of water, land
and related resources to enhance economic and social welfare without jeopardizing
the sustainability of the ecosystem. Ecohydrology together with the application
of Phytotechnologies consider the basic principles of IWRM in the way they
are practice.

SANTA ANA – A Santa Ana man was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison Friday for shooting an innocent restaurant patron to death after an argument over which state in Mexico was better.
Ivan Sanchez, 21, was convicted in September of first-degree murder plus a sentencing enhancement for using a gun to kill Esteban Navarrete, 25, in the parking lot of Mariscos La Ola restaurant in Santa Ana on March 13, 2011.
Superior Court Judge William Froeberg expressed his regrets to the Navarrete family during Friday's sentencing, and called the murder "as stupid as they come."
Sanchez was the third person to be sentenced for roles in the Navarrete killing.
Ricardo Guerra Rocha, who was 17 when the incident occurred, was sentenced to 40 years to life for second-degree murder. His older sister Maria Isabel Rocha, 30, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Deputy District Attorney Mark Geller said the Rochas and Sanchez got into an argument with another group of people in the restaurant over which Mexican state was the best — Sinaloa or Michoacán.
Navarrete, who was at the restaurant with his wife and two friends, was not involved in the argument, Geller said.
Sanchez and the Rochas left the restaurant in an SUV to get a gun, and then returned to the parking lot and encountered Navarrete as he was leaving, Geller contended.
Navarrete insisted he was not involved in the argument, but Sanchez shot Navarrete in the head anyway, Geller said. Navarrete's wife and friends were not injured.

What is the Phase 1 Lifestyle?
So what in the world is all this talk about the Phase 1 Lifestyle?
Doug Kaufmann is the brains behind the Phase 1 Lifestyle, "The Phase 1 diet is designed to starve an organism – fungus. Parasitic yeasts and fungi can infect human tissue, causing miserable symptoms. Once on board, these organisms must have their favorite food source, sugar, to survive. The Phase 1 Diet seeks to starve and rid the body of those parasitic organisms, while eliminating foods that are commonly contaminated with fungal poisons known as mycotoxins."

Here are two over-generalizations that I'm sick to death of hearing.
1) People who become professional historians don't live in the real world. They don't have to deal with things like budgets, making payroll, paying suppliers, shuffling invoices, and all the other aspects of keeping an operation running that the rest of us learn to manage by our quick wits and the sweat of our brow.
2) Our choice as citizens is between historic sites and jobs. It's, like, 2010, not 1860, and what we need are jobs, jobs, jobs. We need to stop worrying about maintaining historic sites and start worrying about getting people in our communities employed.
For a corrective to these notions, read A. Wilson Greene's recent piece in Civil War News. Greene runs Pamplin Historical Park near Petersburg, VA. Here's an excerpt:
The Foundation's chairman notified me in the late autumn that it would be necessary to cut the Foundation's contribution to our Park by some 62 percent in the fiscal year beginning Jan. 1, 2009. This meant an end to business as usual and severe steps would have to be taken to balance the budget during the coming year.
I feel confident that although the percentages might vary, there are few employees, board members or supporters of private historic sites to whom this scenario seems foreign. During the last several years, virtually all of my colleagues working in public history have shared similar horror stories.
As comforting as it was to know that we were not alone in this financial dilemma, there was little time for self-pity or mutual commiseration. We had to take immediate steps to ensure that adequate funds were available to meet our financial obligations and then develop a new fiscal model that would lead to mid- and long-term sustainability.
The majority of most park and museum budgets pay for personnel. There is only so much that can be saved in utility and maintenance costs and the purchase of goods and services. We had no choice but to lay off more than half of our talented work force — an awful experience for everyone involved.
Funny thing about historic sites: People actually work there, they generally prefer getting a regular paycheck, they pay state and local taxes out of those checks just like everybody else, and when the site takes a hit they might lose their jobs. Which means, you know, less of that "employment" thing that development apologists like so much.
You can support Pamplin Historical Park during this difficult time with donations, by volunteering, or through their affiliation with the ShopforMuseums.com program.

How many warning signs?
Wick's World
Clearly more warning signs than a summer drive down road construction on I-35 were not enough to make this blockhead aware that he may have a heart problem. The information coming from a patient can mislead the best doctors; I was able to mislead several.
I was so darn sure that the coughing spells and the blood-stained phlegm were caused by a virus, infection, germs or bacteria that I picked up on the train from Vancouver three months earlier.
There were many other warning signs I missed. Shortness of breath may not be walking pneumonia. That recently added extra 15 pounds may not be all fat (in my case it was retained fluids). High cholesterol and high blood pressure readings should be no-brainers; they are signs of danger. Don't overlook a high pulse rate. It may mean your heart is working harder than necessary.
Here is the warning sign that seems obvious in retrospect. What do all of these places have in common, besides the fact I was a recent visitor: Denver and Crested Butte, Colorado; the Black Hills and Casper, Wyoming; Flagstaff, Sedona, and Payson, Arizona; Lake Tahoe, Yosemite and Mt. Diablo, California? The answer is I spent the first couple days at each vacation spot suffering from what I had diagnosed as altitude sickness. I was correct, but unaware that a leading cause of altitude sickness is a weak, overworked heart.
The warning signs were all over the place. Why was I so arrogant to think that nothing could possibly be wrong with my heart? I give credit to my hometown doctor for calling the right shot on that one, and just in time.
Ironically, when I fractured my sternum last year a doctor had warned, "You better hope you never need open heart surgery or we'll have to cut that sternum back open and you'll certainly feel it." He was referring to the surrounding damaged muscles and all the pain associated with the healing process, and his warning was accurate. During open heart surgery, the surrounding muscles get worked over. Much of the pain associated with the healing process from heart surgery is centered on the muscular more than the skeletal.
So, beware of the signs and symptoms that are precursors to heart troubles. Learn to read the labels on processed food and be aware of how much salt you are really ingesting. I have a pretty good diet compared to most, but warning signs were there too.
Now I am working hard to get back to being physically fit, changing my eating habits and looking at my other habits too. After all, our illnesses are projections of our life styles, so the warning signs are telling me to change.
No one said it would be easy, but here I am, a little less wealthy, but a little more healthy and wise. Remember, heartaches don't only come from being jilted by your sweetheart.

By Ian Welch, head of policy, ACCA
With pressure on public finances being at an all-time high on most countries – and public trust in both business and governmental institutions seemingly being at the other end of the scale – the role of finance professionals will come under increasing scrutiny.
Our new report, Setting high professional standards for public services around the world, analyses all aspects of public sector accountants' roles and makes the crucial – and topical – observation that finance professionals must promote whistleblowing laws and policies to ensure that communities can have confidence in how their taxes are being spent.
Accountants have a critical role to play in rebuilding waning public trust by championing the cause of developing anti-corruption procedures and cultures. To do this, they will have to work with other stakeholders to help eradicate fraud and corruption, through a combination of education, fraud-awareness programmes and training in forensic accounting.
This is no easy task, but it can be done. In the UK, the newspapers are currently full of stories of scandals in the healthcare, social care and police sectors – all of which came to light through whistleblowing by public sector staff. The fear of retribution and repercussions are always there. But it is even more vital than ever, at a time of unprecedented constraints on public spending, that finance professionals feel able to highlight issues where public money raised through taxation is misspent or misused – and that those responsible can be held to account.
ACCA also calls for proper separation between the accounting and auditing functions within all governments. In some countries that does not exist, which impairs accountability and transparency. The report accepts there is a challenge in educating the populace about the audit process – and in making it more transparent – to ensure public confidence.
Yet it could be argued that the public sector is, in many ways, ahead of the private sector in this respect. The ongoing regulatory and political inquiries into the role of audit – highlighted in this space last month – reflect a wider public sense of dissatisfaction with the auditors of banks and other major institutions. ACCA has consistently argued that the role of audit itself needs to be extended to take in issues such as risk management, internal controls and corporate governance. And yet the public sector is already there – in most developed countries 'value for money' audits are the norm. These are notably wider in scope than their private sector equivalents.
Under VFM audits, not only do the financial statements receive a true and fair opinion, but the auditors also have to comment on aspects of corporate governance and the effectiveness of the organisation's arrangements to secure value for public money. There is also a wider variety of reporting in the public sector, driven by its multiple stakeholders (politicians, citizens, investors, pressure groups etc) which require reporting innovations such as scorecards. Audits have to satisfy all these requirements and audiences, which can be challenging.
Yet many of these audits are done by the same firms who seemingly find innovation much harder to bring into their private sector work. In the UK, the long-awaited report by the Competition Commission on audit competition has just been published and among its findings, the Commission concludes that there is considerable 'unmet shareholder demand with regard to information supplied by auditors' and that by putting the demands of management ahead of investors, auditors 'competed on the wrong parameters'. Overall, the Commission's report is a fairly bleak assessment of the current situation.
It is however, weaker on practical remedies to improve the situation. Amazingly it doesn't mention liability once – yet concerns over liability have been shown, via outreach carried out by ACCA and others since 2009, to be a serious deadweight on innovation. This issue simply has to be addressed.
But firms – and the wider profession – also need to reflect on whether there is more they can do to bring some of the more interesting aspects of public sector audits to bear on their private sector work. This really might start to bridge that intractable expectations gap.

As one of the largest community charity events in Ohio, The O'Bleness Health System Race for a Reason brings together caring and giving people from all over the nation to raise money for the charity of their choice.
Scheduled for April 26 on the Ohio University Athens Campus, participants in the 5K, mud run, and triathlon will have the opportunity to donate and participate for the charity or organization of their choice.
One of the differences this year is the addition of a 3K Diabetes Walk, thanks to donations made by AMVets. The 3K event was added to accommodate community members interested in participating, but who are either unable to run or are more comfortable walking.
"We are also hoping to have more participation from student organizations," said Carey Goodman, the 2014 director for Race for a Reason. "There is a student organization triathlon relay that appeals directly to organizations on campus. Ideally, we would like these organizations to all choose a different cause to fundraise for. We had more than 40 different organizations involved last year and would like to exceed 50 this year."
Eric Shainock, a second-year Ohio University graduate student in the Sports Administration program, has been working and fundraising, along with his classmates, to support a local family in need.
Lilly Straley is a 6-year-old Athens child who is suffering from a rare form of cystic fibrosis. With no federal funding from the government, research for cystic fibrosis is dependent entirely on donations.
The Straley family has dedicated a large part of their lives to supporting the cause and assisting in the search for a cure for their daughter. Shainock's personal goal is to raise $10,000 and to bring people together for the cause. Visit http://fightcf.cff.org/site/TR/GreatStrides/16_Central_Ohio_Columbus?px=1545115&pg=personal&fr_id=2260 to view Shainock's fundraising page.
"I'm looking forward to seeing the event come together. I would have never guessed that so many people in Athens would be interested in a race," said Shainock.
As a team, the Sports Administration students are aiming to raise about $25,000 of the event's $100,000 goal.
Despite being in his last semester at Ohio University, Shainock has dedicated a large portion of his time supporting Race for a Reason. He hopes to work for a non-profit athletics organization after graduation.
"You can use sports as a global platform to give back to the community," said Shainock.

You can eliminate those Tim Tebow-to-Jacksonville rumors. New Jaguars general manager David Caldwell made it very clear Thursday it's not happening.
"I can't imagine a scenario where he would be a Jacksonville Jaguar," Caldwell said at his introductory news conference.
It's rare you hear a whoosh come over an NFL news conference crowd. Some of the media members seemed taken aback.
"Even if he's released?" one reporter asked.
"Even if he's released," Caldwell said.
Well, there you go. That's why all the reporting last month that said it was a "virtual certainty" Tebow would land in Jacksonville after one season with the New York Jets was so curious. Perhaps Jaguars ownership wanted him, but the ultimate decision-maker was not in place yet.

Gregg Rosenthal provides a one-stop shop for all the latest head-coaching search news. Who are teams targeting? More ...
Caldwell is making those decisions, and he made it clear that Tebow won't have a future with the team. Caldwell noted Blaine Gabbert was the second-youngest quarterback in the NFL and that he would compete for a starting job next season.
"There will be an open competition," Caldwell said.
It just won't include Tebow. With the Jaguars out of the picture, we seriously doubt Tebow will get a legitimate chance to start at quarterback anywhere in 2013.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

In a triumph of hope over experience, we plucky Brits persist in defying our unpredictable weather, eating, socialising and relaxing al fresco as soon as there's a glimmer of sunlight.
But while we can't guarantee good weather, it is at least possible to make a stylish and comfortable setting a dead cert, by lavishing some love on your outdoor space.
As well as the advantage of creating another 'room' - always welcome in our space-starved times, investing in a patio could also literally help you 'grow' money.
A garden can increase the value of a property by up to 20%, according to research by RatedPeople.com, the UK's largest online trade recommendation service, which also found that the majority of buyers (66%) say outdoor space would be a key deciding factor when it comes to buying.
"People can always tell the difference between a house and a home, and it works the same way with a garden," says Rated People ambassador and Location, Location, Location presenter Phil Spencer.
"Don't be afraid to add personality to your outdoor decor and accessories - this is your space and says as much about you as your interior. Wall decorations, interesting plant pots and special features will make your garden eye-catching and, just as important, more enjoyable for you to spend time in."
A simple test can tell you if that space is fit for purpose: plant yourself down on your outdoor furniture and decide whether you're as comfortable as you would be indoors, and could linger there as long over a meal or drinks. If the answer's a resounding 'no', it's time for revamp.

I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Since my daughter's an avid reader at the moment, it was fitting that we once again gently asked for no gifts at her birthday celebration and suggested that party-goers bring books for a book swap. The result was fewer non-book gifts (and all of those that came in were intensely personal - it's like the bookswap frees people up to give quirky, small, wonderful, heart's desires!). This was our second stab at a book swap in lieu of presents. Other years we tried an outright present ban, which had mixed results. People generally like to show up at a small person's party with something in hand. The book swap? Helps with that desire, since every kid gets to help select a book and bring it along. Plus? Every kid gets to go home with a new book, which makes the birthday girl genuinely feel like she's celebrating all the people we love.
I thought I'd pass along our tips in case anyone's planning a party (and for reference for next year!).
Nitty Gritty of a Book Swap:
- Ask participants to bring a gently used or new book, unwrapped.
- Be aware that you can't count on attendees to bring books (too risky).
- Be aware that some attendees will bring special books they really want to give to the birthday child. It's ok. Honor their wishes.
- Secure a larger number of books than attendees per above notes (I went with attendees x 3). Remember that children like to have choices. Plus, it is exciting to be able to pick more than one!
- Procure books that match a wide range of reading levels and interests (match to your group).
- Provide structure, order, and direction (kids like all of 'em).
- Make a display of books (we set them out in rows on a picnic table in about 3 minutes).
- Let the birthday child(ren) go first. Line everyone else up behind them.
- Each child picks one book, then lines up again.
- After each child has picked two books, decide what you want to do with the rest: donate to your local school or family shelter, allow kids to pick more books if they're excited, you name it.
Happy book swapping!
*The picture above is of our cherry tree - which obligingly blooms every year to provide my daughter's birthday confetti....

The Bisons baseball team struggled offensively last season and after losing top hitter, Richie Goodenow, Coach Jeff Forehand knew he would have to make a splash on the recruiting trail to shore up his team's lineup.
Forehand did just that. And among 15 newcomers, including seven JUCO transfers, Forehand believes he and his staff have some players capable of helping Lipscomb back towards the top of the Atlantic Sun Conference.
When it comes to guys capable of coming in and making an immediate impact, catcher Taylor Stewart stands out from the rest.
A winner of the prestigious "Big Stick Award" given by the National Junior College Athletic Association to the nation's 10 best JUCO hitters, the Sumner County native, batted a staggering .446 last season as the backstop for Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin.
"He hit well over .400 and he was probably the best JUCO hitter in the Southeast," Forehand said. "We're excited about him coming in and he immediately solidifies the catcher spot, along with fifth-year senior Logan Hostettler. You need to have two catchers you feel good about.
"Taylor is going to be a really good addition to our team. He had a really good year last year. It'd be hard to duplicate .400 but the JUCO conference he played in was good competition and it's translated well to the Division I level for us in the past. If he can hit like that for us that'd be great."
Stewart, a rising junior, is only 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, small for a catcher. But even without true home-run power, his bat, he believes, can be a big addition for the Bisons.
"I've got a contact swing but I can drive balls gap-to-gap," Stewart said. "If I hit one out that's fine but I'm always thinking line drive."
Like a number of JUCO transfers, the Beech High standout had a number of options out of high school, including several walk-on opportunities at larger schools, but he elected to go the community college route and hone his skills. Behind his gritty work ethic, Stewart eventually made the decision pay off.
The offensive numbers spike he had last season, Stewart said, was the result of constant and intense practicing.
"I'd always been a pretty good hitter, but I made it a daily routine to practice my hitting and it paid," said Stewart. "When you experience success like that you just want more. I know this year is going to be a challenge, too, but I think at any level you can be successful if you work hard. I plan on being in the weight room a lot.
"You know you're going to have to compete coming to a new team. If I'm not better than the other guy then I shouldn't play, but I'm going to do whatever I can to always be the best guy."
The decision to come to Lipscomb, Stewart said, was an easy one.
"It's a place I can see myself having success on and off the field," he noted. "I know I'll get a good accounting degree and I've never heard anybody say anything bad about Coach Forehand."
Despite his strong numbers last season, Stewart said he still thinks of himself as a defensive catcher.
"I've been told whatever I can do at the plate is a plus," he remarked. "My defense is most important but I hate to lose. I want to help the team offensively if that's what they need. I'm wanting to make the catching spot a spot that adds something to the lineup. That's a big thing for me."
Forehand said he's excited about Stewart and his fellow new players joining the team.
"We've seen Taylor's ability and we think it will translate well for us," said Forehand. "There's always a sense of optimism for every new season. But after a difficult season like last year we really need a fresh start. There's going to be competition at every spot and the guys know it. We think that's always a good thing."

FERPA Online Library
|MS Word (30 KB)
August 27, 2004
Mr. Jerome H. Sullivan
Executive Director
American Association of Collegiate Registrars
and Admissions Officers
One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 520
Washington, DC 20036
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
This is in response to your letter to the Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO), as well as follow-up to telephone conversation between Ms. Shelley Rodgers of your staff with Dr. Stephen Hunt of the International Affairs Office, in the Office of the Secretary. You asked certain questions about the applicability of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to disclosures to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). On March 1, 2003, INS ceased to exist and its responsibilities relating to student visas transferred to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
As you are aware, on April 12, 2002, FPCO issued guidance relating to disclosure of personally identifiable information from students' education records relative to anti-terrorism investigations of law enforcement officials. We noted in that Dear Colleague Letter that we anticipated that there may be a need for additional guidance in the future on ICE disclosure issues. Since that time, the Department has worked closely with ICE on several matters of mutual concern, including the applicability of FERPA to disclosures of information to ICE employees. We provided comments on ICE regulations published in the Federal Register on December 11, 2002, regarding the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), and will continue to work with them as we develop additional guidance on issues relating to foreign students and exchange visitor program participants. In the interim, we believe, as is explained more fully below, that FERPA does not prohibit the disclosure of information to ICE contractors in order to certify an institution as eligible to participate in SEVIS.
Preliminarily, with regard to your apparent concern about disclosure of student information to ICE contractors rather than directly to the ICE, this Office has previously advised that FERPA does not prevent schools from outsourcing various functions. In particular, schools may disclose FERPA protected information, without consent, to contractors and other agents who have been retained to perform administrative and other professional services so long as the disclosure would be proper if made to a school official performing the same service. Similarly, FERPA does not prevent lawful recipients of protected education records, such as ICE, from using the services of outside contractors to perform services in place of regular employees, such as these site visits to certify institutions for participation in SEVIS. Accordingly, disclosures to ICE contractors retained to perform SEVIS certification visits should be treated as disclosure to ICE itself.
With regard to the broader question concerning access by ICE to education records of foreign students and exchange visitor program participants, § 641(c)(2) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), as amended, (8 U.S.C. § 1372) provides that FERPA shall not apply to aliens described in subsection (a) of § 641 to the extent that the Attorney General determines necessary to carry out the SEVIS program. In the December 11th regulations, the Attorney General made such a determination. 67 Fed. Reg. 76256, 76270 (December 11, 2002)1. In effect, ICE regulations, 8 C.F.R. § 214.1(h), state that with respect to F and M nonimmigrant students and J nonimmigrant exchange visitors, the FERPA provisions that might impede the proper implementation of 8 U.S.C. § 1372 and 8 C.F.R. § 214.3(g) are waived to the extent that 8 U.S.C. § 1372 or 8 C.F.R. § 214.3(g) requires the educational agency or institution to report the information.
We also note that § 502 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-173, requires ICE, in consultation with the Department of Education, to conduct a review of institutions certified to receive nonimmigrants under § 101(a)(15)(F), (M), or (J) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(F)(M), or (J)) to determine whether the institutions are in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act and IIRIRA.
We believe that Congress did not intend for the privacy protections under FERPA to impede ICE in carrying out the SEVIS program. Therefore, our advice to AACRAO is that institutions generally may not use FERPA in order to refuse to comply with requests from ICE relative to participation in SEVIS.
However, you specifically asked about the collection by ICE of the following information:
Common data elements being requested by the INS (now ICE) site-visit contractors are (a) all directory information for international students (b) citizenship (c) list of courses taken by each student (d) reason for separation from an institution if the student is no longer enrolled, etc. Information is being requested on enrolling students without status yet and enrolled students with active current status. Some of the requested information is required by SEVIS, some -- like schedule of classes for each student -- is not.
First, we note that SEVIS is not limited to enrolled students with active current status. Rather, the IRRIRA, as amended, applies to aliens who either have status or are applying for the status of nonimmigrants under § 101(a)(15)(F), (M), or (J) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. 8 U.S.C. § 1372(a)(1). The IRRIRA, as amended, also requires institutions to report to ICE any failure of an alien to enroll in an institution of higher education or other approved educational institution or the scheduled commencement of participation by an alien in a designated exchange visitor program. 8 U.S.C. § 1372(a)(4).
Second, the issue of "directory information" is not relevant in this situation. In the instant case, ICE has broad, independent authority under the IRRIRA, as amended, (and does not need to request directory information) to receive the following information on foreign students and exchange program participants: A) the identity and current address in the United States of the alien; B) the non-immigrant classification of the alien and the date on which a visa under the classification was issued or extended or the date on which a change to such classification was approved by the Attorney General; C) in the case of a student at an approved institution of higher education, or other educational institution, the current academic status of the alien, including whether the alien is maintaining status as a full-time student, or in the case of a participant in a designated exchange visitor program, whether the alien is satisfying the terms and conditions of the program; D) in the case of a student at an approved institution of higher education, or other educational institution, any disciplinary action taken by the institution against the alien as a result of the alien's being convicted of a crime, or, in the case of a participant in a designated exchange visitor program, any change in the alien's participation as a result of the alien's being convicted of a crime; E) the date of entry and port of entry; F) the date of the alien's enrollment in an approved institution of higher education, other approved educational institution, or designated exchange visitor program in the United States; G) the degree program, if applicable, and field of study; and, H) the date of the alien's termination of enrollment and the reason for such termination (including graduation, disciplinary action, and failure to re-enroll). 8 U.S.C. § 1372(c)(1).
The ICE regulations further specify that: "an approved school must keep records containing certain specific information and documents relating to each F-1 or M-1 student to whom it has issued a Form I-20A or I-20M while the student is attending the school and until the school notifies the Service, … that the student is not pursuing a full course of study... The designated school official must make the information and documents required by this paragraph available to and furnish them to any ICE officer upon request. The information and documents that the school must keep on each student are as follows:
- Name.
- Date and place of birth.
- Country of citizenship.
- Current address where the student and his or her dependents physically reside. In the event the student of his or her dependents reside on or off campus and cannot receive mail at that location, the school may provide a mailing address...
- The student's current academic status.
- Date of commencement of studies.
- Degree program and field of study.
- Whether the student has been certified for practical training, and the beginning and end dates of certification.
- Termination date and reason, if known.
- The documents referred to in paragraph (k) of this section.
- The number of credits completed each semester.
- A photocopy of the student's I-20 ID Copy."
8 C.F.R. 214.3(g), as amended by 67 Fed. Reg. 76256 (December 11, 2002).
Thus, FERPA does not prohibit the nonconsensual release to ICE of the alien's field of study, degree program, number of credits, and other items of information enumerated in § 214.3(g). In addition, we are informed that the Department of Homeland Security is presently drafting regulations governing the SEVIS certification process and identifying additional reporting requirements incident to that process. During the pendancy of that rulemaking process, the Department will refrain from any enforcement action under FERPA under circumstances where an educational agency or institution has provided any education records to officers of the Department of Homeland Security at its request to carry out the SEVIS program.
I trust that this is responsive to your inquiry.

[1] The Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law No. 107-296, Title IV, Section 442, transferred to the Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Border Security the responsibility for administering the program to collect information relating to nonimmigrant foreign students and other exchange program participants described in section 641 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1372), including the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System established under that section.

I'm looking for a word/phase that describes the concept of a "bucket brigade". My foriegn friends haven't ever heard this phrase before and I need something that's semi-universal.
For those of you who don't understand the concept. A bucket brigade was used in pre-fire engine America to put out house fires. Villagers would line up between the well/river and the burning house and pass full buckets to the fire and the empty buckets back.
The concept is that it's an organization scheme where each station does a task and then the work is moved on to the next station.
THoughts would be appreciated.

In 1616, on the same April day, humankind loses two of its best storytellers when William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes pass away. Their worlds, the ones they'd timelessly chronicled, are in transition too.
The works of Shakespeare, no longer a hot property, are sent to sent to a script doctor so they could be spiced up for modern audiences. Queen Elizabeth is gone, replaced by a king who is more interested in admiring the shapely ankles of courtly gentlemen than continuing her spectacular reign.
The fantastic global power of Spain, home to Cervantes, stands at its peak with nowhere to go but down. Slavery, which had once captured the creator of Don Quixote in its grip, is transforming into a massive soul-robbing venture. And across Asia, empires are rumbling.
There's quite a story lurking in 1616. Of course, there's also one in every other year, especially the big ones like 1492, 1776, 1861, and the future year when once-lowly book critics are honored with grand statues. (Can't come soon enough!)
But out of the blue, something about this particular year captured the mind of historian and book translator Thomas Christensen in 2009. He decided to figure out where humanity stood at that moment in time.
Now, to rephrase the Bard, all the world's a book. A coffee-table-sized and beautifully illustrated book, evocative and frustrating at the same time.
If you pick up 1616: The World in Motion, be prepared to dip into it again and again, if only to admire the gorgeous reproductions of art from around the world. Every major culture seems to be represented in paintings and drawings, turning this into a hybrid of history book and art book.
As for the text, Christensen convincingly argues that his year chosen at random is a pretty nifty one. In it, he says, you can make out "intimations of modernism" in all sorts of areas, from globalism and diasporism to rationalism, bureaucratization and individualism.
Diasporism? Bureaucratization? Yes, "1616" has an academic feel that makes for tough reading in spots. It doesn't help that Christensen throws in plenty of obscure references. Anatolia, Togukawa Japan, and the Timurid empire, anyone?
Despite the hurdles for readers, Christensen does help us understand the ties that bound the world together. A Dutch map created in 1616 tells the story: It looks amazingly accurate considering that it's some four centuries old. Many regions of the planet remained unexplored, but people generally knew where the continents began and ended.
And, of course, they knew how to get from place to place and make money in the process. You've probably heard of the Silk Road, but how about the China Road, which wasn't even in Asia? It dragged on for 200 rugged miles in Mexico, of all places, which served as a way station for thousands of travelers and much of the world's silk and silver.
The center of the hubbub? The town of Acapulco, where Elvis would later reign on the big screen (never mind that his movie scenes were filmed in Hollywood).
Also in the Americas, the first African slave arrived in the Bahamas in 1616. Before then, slaves were considered people, Christensen writes, "rather than subhuman commodities." That was about to change, as the slaveowners "subjected their captives to horrific and degrading conditions that surpassed anything previously seen."
Christensen, a true renaissance author, has more than trade winds on his mind. He also focuses on the changing role of women, the evolving artistic imagination, and the conflict between science (astronomy in particular) and superstition (such as witchcraft).
This was a time, perhaps not too terribly different from our own, when women got much of the blame for bad things that happened. Why are witches often depicted as old women? Because, Christensen writes, they symbolized infertility and were burdens on their families.
Ultimately, "1616" is a whirlwind tour, taking readers from Istanbul to Manila to Algiers and introducing them to sailors, royals, and sultans. Even if it's overwhelming at times, many readers will take a page from those who lived in 1616 and simply enjoy the bumpy ride.

About DisappointedCommenter
The username Anonymous Chicken was already taken, so I'm just disappointed.
Still I don't know. The idea of forcing a perspective or opinion on others seems actually not to be an opinion.
Needs a few more pointy sticks.
AJ is still around? I would have thought all the work years ago to get him to leave would have worked.
Myself, I've been busy working with attorneys in LA for a while. I don't know what I was thinking.. But we also got the second USPTO office opened up. I still think Mike should run it.
This video seems cheesy.
Still, it's likely going to move people to prepaid accounts. I read that Comcast is trying Prepaid interwebs in back east.
It may be the way to go, or also Clearwire/Broadband wireless service too!
On CBS news in Denver, local investigator found that some hospitals also pull numbers out of the air as well.
Here's the link to the story-
And the Court Documents/Disposition, which the Plantiff desired sealed. From the story- "During the deposition, Sammons said his hospital charged patients $69 per minute of emergency room time and marked up prices for some medical supplies at a rate of 3 1/2 times what they cost the hospital. He was asked how the hospital decided on its pricing."
The attorney wanted the Disposition from the CFO sealed, but the prevailing party thought it was more important to be made public.

Basically, it's turning into a Pay-Per-View concept. It makes sense... Liberty Media is a major investor in Pay-Per-View concept, and even recently acquired Barnes & Noble, shortly after the Nook was made available.
I guess this is why it's important to reform copyright law in such a way that culture doesn't have a toll-booth every 1/2 mile.

The Little Details Make the Difference.
We Understand the Mobile Food Truck Industry
We Know The Mobile Food Industry.
Working with businesses in the mobile food truck and trailer industry has taught us the essential business decisions that can make or break a company's profitability. From knowing which are the best appliance brands for mobile food trucks and trailers, to making suggestions about an eye-catching exterior design; we've worked with clients in the mobile food truck industry across the country. We've heard success and failure stories from other customers. Let us share that knowledge so that your mobile food truck or trailer is sure to be another success story.
Assembly Process is King.
If you haven't planned an efficient assembly line process for your mobile food truck or trailer, your build isn't going to be as profitable as it could be. If employees are tripping over or running into each other, less customers can be served. The layout of your mobile food truck or trailer is 100% the most important factor in your food assembly process and employee efficiency. When companies purchase a pre-designed or standard built mobile food truck or trailer, or try to design a layout without consulting an expert, they can regret those decisions for the life of the vehicle.
All the Details.
As a successful restaurant or brands group, you and your employees are busy, and building a mobile food truck is a time-consuming process. While you're running your business, APEX will take care of ALL essential aspects of a mobile food truck build – not only will we create the design; we will help select interior appliances, assist with exterior designs and wraps, work with the shipping company,and we even provide financing in-house.

ARTIST: Rennie Cantine & Rip Van Ren
ALBUM: "Rennie Cantine & Rip Van Ren" (Nevessa Productions)
Woodstock guitarist (and promoter of the Woodstock Guitar Festival) Rennie Cantine offers a new EP produced by Chris Anderson at Nevessa Studios, that clearly shows his affinity for all things guitar.
This self-titled CD finds Cantine using some of the area's best musicians and when you've got drummer Harvey Sorgen, keyboardist Pete Levin, percussionist Gary Burke and the legendary John Sebastian on your team, you can do no wrong.
And he hasn't.
This collection kicks off with "22 Years" as Cantine trades licks with Sebastian (now that's a treat) soon Joe Beesmer's soulful, gruff vocal enters, somewhat reminiscent of a young Greg Allman. The guitar sounds like early Allman Brothers Band as well, if Duane and Dickey had traded their vintage Les Pauls in for Stratocasters. Sebastian's harp solo is priceless, as is Levin's scorcher, and here Cantine shows his knack for dreamy, melodic lines.
In the hard hitting, funkified "C-Bro Shuffle" everybody let's loose, including Cantine, who ties it all together with a screaming, soaring solo at the end.
"Rennie" heads in a jazz direction, Cantine cooling out with octave melody playing, and a laid back vibe. "Turnpike" is instrumental reprise of an earlier tune sans vocals, and proves with a good tune and groove, you don't even need vocals or words. With Cantine's heartfelt, joyful playing, this just can't miss.
Visit http://www.woodstockguitarfestival.us/index.html.
Cantine hosts the Woodstock Guitar Festival at the Bearsville Theatre, 291 Tinker St., Woodstock tonight at 9 p.m.
David Malachowski is a guitarist, producer and freelance journalist living in Woodstock. The Freeman seeks CDs by local artists or artists appearing locally for review. Please send all CDs (please no CD-Rs or demo CDs) to Daily Freeman c/o Preview, 79 Hurley Avenue, Kingston, NY 12401.

Computer Science ColloquiumIm Rahmen des Informatik-Kolloquiums, das von den Instituten des Fachbereichs Informatik, der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Informatik (ÖGI), der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Datenverarbeitung (ADV) sowie der Österreichischen Computergesellschaft (OCG) abgehalten wird, spricht
Thomas Hagauer
BMW, Austriaüber das Thema:
High Performance Computing @ BMWZeit: Mon 5.5.2008, 16:30, 60 Minuten
Ort: SR/K112A
ZusammenfassungA typical supercomputer is a dedicated machine bought for a specific task with a homogeneous system architecture. This concept is also reflected in the structure of the TOP500 list. Until 2006, BMW Group implemented HPC systems in this typical way. There were separate systems to satisfy business requirements. To be prepared for the future a new concept had to be set up. The aim was to define a cost efficient scalable infrastructure with the following design targets: robustness, high availability, performance, flexibility, maximum utilization and scalability. The result is a multi purpose cluster based on commodity hardware. The solution covers all aspects like servers, interconnect, security, cluster management and job flow. The cluster management layer is the key for optimal integration into the existing complex worldwide CA infrastructure and basis for optimized job flows. A sophisticated queuing system implementation is the factor of success for optimal workload to gain highest utilization and efficiency. The flexibility concept made it possible to double the capacity since 2006 in three stages of expansion without interruptions and technological restrictions. Further expansions and technology updates are planned.
VortragenderThomas Hagauer attended a Higher Technical College in Steyr, Austria. During his studies he worked as an assistant at IAIK (Institute for Applied Information Processing and Communications, Graz University Of Technology). He graduated from the Technical University in Graz, Austria, in telematics in 1998. After one year at IBM he joined BMW where he came in touch with CAE Infrastructure. Until 2004 he was responsible for CAE Infrastructure supporting the Diesel Engineering Centre. From 2004 to 2006 he was responsible for Operations HPC and CAE Clients (BMW Group) and in 2006 he joined the department for IT Solutions and Technology Standards.

When Stephen Wright decided to enter the Tabernacle United Methodist Church Chili Cook-off on April 12 to benefit the 2008 Relay for Life, he had a plan.It wasn't much of a plan, but it was a plan."I told 'em, I'd probably be better off to go by Wendys, buy a bunch of chili, put it in a pot and try to fake out everybody," he said, laughing. "I told all of 'em I couldn't cook a lick." But after taking top honors with his "21 Cup Chili," the blue-collar electrician may have found a way to moonlight.
