Well, I'm not dead
Almost two years since the last post. Gosh time flies. Anyway, I've been optimising this site recently to improve its cacheability etc, and while I'm pretty sure everything is still working, if anyone spots a problem either email me or post in the forum. Thanks. Maybe one day I'll have a ports update too.
Attention BSD ports maintainers and others
I'm going to be changing ISPs for my DSL within the next few days, which means the files hosted at http://members.iinet.net.au/~jonof/ will no longer exist. I'll transfer them to my new ISP, but the old links that seem to have proliferated around the place will be broken. There is a solution though, which I admit I should have set up long ago: adjust the members.iinet paths to use http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/dl/ as the base of the URL. eg. http://members.iinet.net.au/~jonof/blah.zip becomes http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/dl/blah.zip. I can redirect that address to wherever I like that way without ruining everyone else's work. Sorry all.
Site updates
I've updated a few things on the site, including new screenshots for all the remaining Build games that still had the old tiny pictures. Also, work on the JFDuke3D and JFSW ports is progressing and eventually there will be a new release.
Duke3D on Palm OS 5
I discovered quite by accident a fantastic port of Duke3D to Palm OS 5—the OS running such devices as the Palm Tungsten-series PDAs and the Tapwave Zodiac. It is the work of Henk "MetaView" Jonas and is based on JFDuke3D. On my Tungsten T, the oldest in the Tungsten family, it runs exceptionally well at a 320x240 resolution.
And for those wanting something a little more substantial, here's a four minute video (XviD encoded, no audio) of me playing E1L1. Owners of a Palm OS 5 handheld should certainly check it out. Grab it from Henk's site.
New Build game entry: Corridor 8
I've added a Build game entry for Corridor 8, the game that was to be the sequel of Corridor 7, but never made it past prototype.
New release
After arguably a long time, I've released updates for JFBuild, JFDuke3D, and JFShadowWarrior. Most of the effort has been going into getting Shadow Warrior up to snuff, and this release of JFSW is the first to feature multiplayer, though only peer-to-peer mode works at present. I've also been working a lot behind-the-scenes on improving the portability of the engine and games, and in the not too distant future I hope to have a test of the Mac OS X ports for Mac users to try. Enjoy.
Ports updated
An update to JFBuild, JFShadowWarrior, and JFDuke3D has just been made available. JFSW and JFDuke3D now share the same version of the JFBuild engine. JFDuke's networking should not have out-of-sync issues quite as much. JFSW will get an update soon to make the multiplayer functional. Enjoy!
PNGOUT for Linux update
I've updated the PNGOUT for Linux port to reflect Ken's changes to date. I've also added i686, Athlon and Pentium4-optimised binaries for those who might find them useful. Enjoy.
JFShadowWarrior is ready
The first release of JFShadowWarrior following the publishing of the original Shadow Warrior code by 3D Realms is now available for your enjoyment. Please bear in mind this is the first release so there will be crashes or bugs. Please report them as you find them. View the JFShadowWarrior section or go directly to the files.
Net test update
An updated version of the JFDuke3D port is now available. This corrects the problem of command line parameters being ignored, makes the waiting period on netgame launch more obvious, and includes other minor improvements. Like the release prior, this release should be considered a test only.

Amy Adams Gives Up First Class Seat to Soldierby Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Amy Adams showed once again that she is a superstar, and she didn't even need a big budget movie to prove that.
The 39-year-old Academy Award-winning actress reportedly gave up her first class seat on a plane trip out of Detroit to a U.S. soldier sitting in coach. They were both headed to Los Angeles on the same flight.
Jemele Hill of ESPN's 'Numbers Never Lie' tweeted what she saw and spoke to ABC News about the act of kindness.
Just saw actress Amy Adams do something incredibly classy. She gave her 1st class seat to an American soldier. I'm an even bigger fan now.
— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) June 27, 2014
"I noticed Ms. Adams was in first class and as I was getting seated, I saw the flight attendant guide the soldier to Ms. Adams' seat. She was no longer in it, but it was pretty clear that she'd given up her seat for him," Hill said. "I was incredibly impressed, and I'm not even sure if the soldier knew who gave him that seat. I guess he will now!"
Hill also reported that Adams spoke with the soldier briefly after the switch, and then took her seat in coach.
Adams was in Detroit filming scenes for 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,' which is scheduled to hit theaters May 6, 2016.

Premier Christy Clark's widely advertised BC Jobs Plan calls for the completion of at least three LNG export plants by 2020 and the natural gas business adding $1 trillion to the economy over the next three decades.
If 2020 sounds familiar, it may be because it was central to another cornerstone plan brought in by her predecessor that was touted as a roadmap toward a prosperous and green future for the province, the B.C. Climate Action Plan.
The targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in B.C. in the climate action plan are still the official policy of the Clark government, even though a lot has changed — including the explosion of interest in exporting natural gas — since they were proudly unveiled by then premier Gordon Campbell in 2007 and 2008.
The plan called for a reduction of emissions by 33 per cent from 2007 levels by 2020, with interim targets of a six-per-cent reduction by 2012 and an 18-per-cent reduction by 2016.
To try to meet those targets, the province brought in a carbon tax, pledged to make the government carbon neutral and started work on a cap and trade plan to bring down industrial emissions, among other initiatives.
The carbon tax was increased gradually until this year and is now under review. The province claims it is now carbon neutral in its own operations, but it has achieved that status through the controversial practice of buying offsets.
The cap and trade system is on hold. Many of the other jurisdictions that had talked about taking part in a carbon trading plan have bailed and there is no timeline for the revival of any such scheme.
This week, the left-leaning Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives looked at the natural gas bonanza central to the government's jobs plan to see what effect it would have on the goals of the climate action plan.
The result wasn't pretty. While the 2012 reduction may be achievable — we won't know until 2014 because of the lag in emissions reporting — the later targets are turned into so much hot air.
Those targets are set in legislation, but there is no penalty if they are missed.
In an interview Thursday, Environment Minister Terry Lake said he remains committed to the targets and his government has no plans to revisit them until it sees the interim numbers from 2016, which won't be available until 2018.
"We acknowledge that we are responsible for our own greenhouse gas targets and we know it will be a challenge to meet those by 2020. However, I think when we look at this opportunity around liquefied natural gas, it's really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for economic development of a resource that we have a lot of."
If nothing else, Lake is an optimist. By the time the 2016 numbers are known, I can't see how the government will be able to do anything but admit defeat.
Lake doesn't agree.
"I certainly don't want to say that this is a challenge that we can't meet. I'm not anywhere near to admitting that. I think that as British Columbians we want to be leaders on this file and we want to do everything that we can to try to meet those targets."
Everything, that is, except anything that would jeopardize the sale of natural gas, or presumably the next once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that comes along.
Assuming the gas exports go ahead, and that's a big if, given the number of players now rushing into the LNG market, the impact on the environment won't be limited to what gets counted under the internationally accepted accounting system for greenhouse gas emissions.
Under that system, B.C. only gets charged for the energy we use, not the energy that we produce that is used by someone else. The Centre for Policy Alternatives report estimates the LNG we hope to export, once burned in Asia, will be the equivalent of putting another 24-64 million cars on the road.
Lake argues we will be doing the earth a favour by allowing importing countries to use natural gas to replace coal.
If it's used to replace nuclear power, as it may be in Japan where the meltdown at Fukishima has led to widespread opposition to restarting reactors, it will have the opposite effect.
That's still OK, says Lake.
"If Japan is switching away from nuclear power ... I would rather they use British Columbia's natural gas rather than coal or other higher carbon intense fuels."

I just bought this DVD yesterday at the RKC course and it's great. Pavel first introduced me to loaded stretching at a seminar in 2003 and ever since I've been hoping that he would include it in a book or video. Well, the wait's over. Worth every penny.
This is definitely different that any other type of stretching I've done. The application is everything. I followed the protocol on the single hip stretch and was able to perform a solid pistol on the leg that normally gives me trouble. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone that wants an instant increase in strength.
I had read reviews of Pavel's stretching seminars and have RIS, FR, SJ, F&L, and Resilience, so I was curious what would be new: 20 minutes later, I met muscles I never knew existed before.Each of the exercises is explained succinctly, but with attention to the small details that make huge differences in the effects I felt. For instance, in doing the quad bridge stretch, I was not surprised that, as Pavel instructed, turning the legs in one direction would produce one effect, whereas turning them a different direction worked a different set of muscles. What did surprise me was how great an effect those small details could have.If you judge fighters pound for pound, then minute by minute, Loaded Stretching is one of the most cost-effective products Pavel has produced.Ken Harper, rkcPortland, OR
With Loaded Stretching Pavel holds your attention with a very clear , concise and to the point teaching application.A well structured program that has you receiving solutions before you finish a question.As for applying the exercises - they DO load the muscles up like tightly wound springs and felt instant results with such controlled, powerful release unleashed on my workout.A high quality look complements such a fine work of teaching.
I rate this a 9 out of 10 because as a Powerlifter I liked the Strength Stretching DVD slightly better. Still, the high end concept of "controlled strain", when applied to various movements, have demonstrated ability to improve sport performance in the short and long run and can be used by everyone. The loaded hip stretch using a box, the loaded russian twist, the loaded RKC clean stretch, and the KB loaded tricep stretch are very powerfull tools that I have put in my bag of tricks. The loaded RKC clean stretch has been a real blessing to my football and powerlifting ravaged shoulders.There is a lot more here too for every athlete. The production is well done. John does need a tan, though. Recommended.
The dvd presents thought provoking material concerning preloading muscles prior to performance of a lift. I immediately began to practise a few of the stretches prior to my squats, deadlifts and overhead presses with spectacular results. The performance of each lift was enhanced significantly along with an increase of control. I wish Pavel was in our country years ago to re-introduce strength training to america,
I came across this dvd a couple years ago on a movie-rental-by-mail website. Always intrigued by new ideas I rented it and am glad to say that other then Pumping Iron, it was probably the most instrumental in shaping my thinking towards strength training and recovery. Back then I didn?t know much about kettlebells, dragon door or even Pavel, but Loaded Stretching opened my eyes to a new world of thought when it comes to elite training. A definite plus for anyone, athlete or not, with the drive to build a better you.
Bought this DVD a couple of weeks ago.Very different and surprising series of techniques. Definitely advanced-- I was able to pop into full extension right away on most of the stretches (I'm a pretty advanced rock climber), but I am still working on the one for the quads (very challenging and kind of humiliating). The Skin the Cat technique isn't easy either at first either. You can really feel the extra "space" and fluidity/connectivity in the muscles, neural pathways, and joints that these stretches create; I think that is where the extra power (which is real) comes from I think... has definitely allowed me to break through several strength plateaus already. I'm eager to see what the longer term results are going to be. If you really load up the kettlebell weight (with caution) on the Russian Twist, some amazing things are going to start happening to your spine, lower back and hips... If you are already pretty flexible, you can do that stretch w/o the hold down from a partner on the knees (more practical and leads to greater dynamism IMHO)...
Loaded stretching has certainly improved my strength. The first day I incorporated these techniques I saw optimization in my exercises. Progressively(like all training should be) I have seen expedited advancements in my strength, control, and flexibility.
I implemented one or two stretches before kicking and punching activity. I did a round house kick routine for one set without doing this stretch. Before the second set, I used one of the stretching work, but revised it a little to fit in an environment without necessary equipment. First shot of second set round house kick, it went hard and the striking pad smached into my partner's face.

Bringing the coldness of space to the Sahara
Cooling is key in the Sahara Desert, especially when you're in the middle of it, trying to win a race.
Cooling technology developed by ESA for space is helping one of the teams in this year's '2003 Dakar Rally', commonly known as the Paris-Dakar Rally.
The 25th series of this famous rally started 1 January from Marseille, France, when 342 contestants gunned their engines and commenced 19 days of the gruelling endurance race through France and Spain before entering the Sahara and racing across North Africa.
This year's route has been altered by an ugly geopolitical reality. Instead of finishing in Senegal's capital, Dakar, in West Africa, the cars, trucks and motorcycles will bypass the war-torn countries of Mali and Mauritania and travel east through Tunisia and Libya. They will cross the finish line on 19 January in Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt on the Red Sea coast after travelling 8 552 km.
One of the teams in the race will be using ESA-developed space technologies to, literally, stay cool, in one of the hottest places on Earth where temperatures can reach as high as 58 degrees C. ESA is contributing several of its space cooling technologies to assist the Pescarola team, headed by racing veteran and four-time Le Mans champion Henri Pescarolo. Participating in his 14th Paris-Dakar rally, Pescarolo is driving a modified 255-HP, V6 Nissan Terrano bearing the ESA logo. He and his team will even eat like astronauts.
"We have pulled together several technologies, which will help the Pescarolo team during the Paris-Dakar race this year," says Pierre Brisson, Head of ESA's Technology Transfer and Promotion Office.
If all works as planned, the team will feel some of the coldness of space during their time in the desert.
Exhaust cooling from Ariane
A special thermal screen using technology developed for the European launch vehicle Ariane provides highly advanced protection and thermal insulation on the Pescarolo car.
The thermal screen is fixed below the car around the exhaust manifold. It reduces the temperature of the exhaust pipe to 100 degrees C, which otherwise would reach 800 degrees C. Thanks to the thermal screen, the team enjoys a significant safety boost with the decreased risk of fire in case of oil or gasoline leaks. In addition, the temperature inside the car is decreased significantly, adding to the drivers' comfort and lessening their fatigue.
Drivers' helmets with innovative cooling system
An Italian company, Grado Zero Espace from Sovigliana, near Florence, is providing a cooling system for the drivers' helmets which incorporates several ESA space technologies.
The cooling system uses solid-state Peltier elements to 'pump' the heat out from the inner side of the helmet and a circulating fluid system to transport the heat away to a special heat 'sink', where the heat is absorbed. The millimetre-thin, solid-state Peltier elements use electricity to produce the cooling effect without any moving parts.
The system combines two space technologies already applied in non-space applications. The Spanish company NTE (Nuevas Tecnologias Espaciales) from Lliçà d'Amunt, near Barcelona, has adapted the Peltier elements in thermal-regulated clothing. A Canadian space firm, Med-Eng in Ottawa, has produced the cooling circuit for a special suit developed by Grado Zero Espace for the McLaren Formula 1 team.
Mediaeval cooling boosted by space calculations
Drinks are being served in a completely new type of self-cooling container that may revolutionize the world of beverages over the coming years.
Used for centuries, the principle of using evaporated water to cool the contents of terracotta jugs and goatskins, is being applied by a French company, ThermaGen, which has developed a self-cooling container that lowers any beverage by 15 degrees C within minutes. It works by evaporating one centilitre of water using the cooling properties of the terracotta clay. The performance has been boosted for this race to over 20 degrees C cooling to meet the extreme desert conditions.
Where does space fit into this? The use of special advanced numerical simulation techniques developed for ESA for satellite mission calculations made it possible for ThermaGen to calculate precisely the behaviour of the complex physical phenomena that creates the cooling effect and to design the self-cooling container.
The rally will be the first test in a series before this innovation is ready for general use by sportsmen and people travelling in hot and isolated areas.
'Space food' for the crew
Originally developed for the French-Russian Cassiopeia mission in 1996, special space menus have enabled Russian European and American astronauts to savour southern French cuisine, far from their native tables.
The 'space food' has to pass extremely severe qualifying tests to be authorised as astronauts' food, including bacteriological quality control and flight-certified packaging. Lycée Hôtelier de Souillac, a leading French culinary institute located outside Toulouse developed, in partnership with the French space agency (CNES), a special space menu that fulfils all the stringent requirements for space, yet maintains the famous French gourmet standard. This 'haute cuisine' is highly appreciated by space consumers, and greatly contributes to the morale and good mood on the International Space Station.
Catering with these menus for the 2003 Dakar Rally proves that it is possible to enjoy good food even in the harshest of conditions.
Space technology improving daily life on Earth
The European space industry has built up an impressive portfolio of technologies and know-how. Since 1991, ESA's Technology Transfer Programme has promoted the use of these technologies outside space systems. This has provided many innovative solutions for non-space products and services that today improve our daily lives.
"Our programme validates the technology developed in the European space programmes. More than 150 ESA space technologies are today improving life on Earth. In addition the use of these space technologies in non-space areas opens new markets, increases the competitiveness of European business and is a new sources of income," emphasizes Brisson.
There is work to be done before the advanced space technologies find their way to non-space systems on Earth. They must be evaluated, adapted for a specific use on Earth, and tested for duration and performance.
Testing systems incorporating these new technologies in extreme races like Paris-Dakar and Le Mans has always been a good way to verify if a new system is valuable in everyday automobiles.
"If a space technology proves its worth in these tough races, it has a future in everyone's car," Brisson added.

Jr. Modeling club structures as bipartite directed networks, we formulate the problem of club formation as a noncooperative game of network formation and identify conditions on network formation rules and players' network payoffs sufficient to guarantee that the game has a potential function. Our sufficient conditions on network formation rules require that each player be choose freely and unilaterally those clubs he joins and also his activities within these clubs (subject to his set of feasible actions). We refer to our conditions on rules as noncooperative free mobility. We also require that players' payoffs be additively separable in player-specific payoffs and externalities (additive separability) and that payoff externalities - a function of club membership, club activities, and crowding - be identical across players (externality homogeneity). We then show that under these conditions, the noncooperative game of club network formation is a potential game over directed club networks and we discuss the implications of this result. 2009-02-24T00:00:00Z Demographic Uncertainty and Welfare in a Life-cycle Model under Alternative Public Pension Systems http://hdl.handle.net/2022/3199 Demographic Uncertainty and Welfare in a Life-cycle Model under Alternative Public Pension Systems Rahman, M Saifur In this paper, I analyze consumption, aggregate savings, output and welfare implications of five different social security arrangements whenever there is demographic uncertainty. Following Bohn (2002), I analyze the effect of an uncertain population growth in an extended version of a modified Life-cycle model developed by Gertler (1999). Population growth dampens savings and output under all arrangements. Pay-as-you-go-Defined Benefit system appears to fare better than all other alternatives, falling short of the private annuity market with no pension system. But social security in general increases social welfare, with Fully Funded systems faring the best. Thus there appears to be a clear trade-off between growth and social welfare. The social security system also reduces the volatility of the economy. 2008-09-19T00:00:00Z Should Dynamic Scoring be done with Heterogeneous Agent-Based Models? Challenging the Conventional Wisdom http://hdl.handle.net/2022/3198 Should Dynamic Scoring be done with Heterogeneous Agent-Based Models? Challenging the Conventional Wisdom Rahman, M Saifur Traditionally, Dynamic Scoring calculations experiments are carried out using representative agent based macroeconomic models. Existing literature does not provide any objection to this approach. In this paper, I develop a heterogeneous agent model similar to the Saver-Spenders model of Mankiw (2000). But spenders in my model are merely credit constrained and not rule-of-thumb consumers. Both groups are intertemporal optimizers because of the existence of Internal Habit Persistence. Transition path of most of the macro and fiscal variables for various tax cuts under alternative financing scheme shows pattern which are significantly different and sometimes contrasting to the representative agent model. Dynamic scoring calculations reveal a downward bias of the representative agent model. Underestimation of the dynamic response could be as large as 45%. Finally, steady state results indicate smaller impact of contractionary policies on major fiscal variables such as net tax revenue and tax base. Over all, the paper argues that the need to use heterogeneous agent based model in dynamic fiscal calculations is not only desirable, but also essential. 2008-09-19T00:00:00Z Estimation Risk Effects on Backtesting for Parametric Value-at-Risk Models http://hdl.handle.net/2022/3190 Estimation Risk Effects on Backtesting for Parametric Value-at-Risk Models Escanciano, Juan Carlos; Olmo, Jose One of the implications of the creation of Basel Committee on Banking Supervision was the implementation of Value-at-Risk (VaR) as the standard tool for measuring market risk. Thereby the correct specification of parametric VaR models became of crucial importance in order to provide accurate and reliable risk measures. If the underlying risk model is not correctly specified, VaR estimates understate/overstate risk exposure. This can have dramatic consequences on stability and reputation of financial institutions or lead to sub-optimal capital allocation. We show that the use of the standard unconditional backtesting procedures to assess VaR models is completely misleading. These tests do not consider the impact of estimation risk and therefore use wrong critical values to assess market risk. The purpose of this paper is to quantify such estimation risk in a very general class of dynamic parametric VaR models and to correct standard backtesting procedures to provide valid inference in specification analyses. A Monte Carlo study illustrates our theoretical findings in finite-samples. Finally, an application to S&P500 Index shows the importance of this correction and its impact on capital requirements as imposed by Basel Accord, and on the choice of dynamic parametric models for risk management.

Authorities investigating the Boston Marathon bombings have the face but not the name of a person they have spotted on surveillance video leaving a black bag near the scene of the blasts, NBC News reported.
The person was seen on a nearby Lord & Taylor department store's surveillance camera, an official told NBC News, as investigators pored over hours of video and a glut of photographs from the scene.
The development — less than 48 hours after the attack that left three people dead and more than 170 wounded — marked a possible turning point in a case that has investigators analyzing photos and videos frame by frame for clues to who carried out the twin bombings and why.
For more U.S. news coverage, visit NBCNews.com.
But the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston police, the U.S. attorney in Boston, a senior White House official and NBC News sources all agreed that no arrests have been made, despite reports in some media outlets to the contrary.
"Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting," the FBI said in a statement.
Authorities told NBC News that they have video of several individuals, including the one captured on the Lord & Taylor camera, whom they are interested in questioning.
Earlier in the afternoon, employees were evacuated from the Boston courthouse Wednesday afternoon after a bomb threat was called in, Boston police told NBC Connecticut. Police began allowing employees back inside about an hour later, according to NBC News reporters on the scene.
The developments came after investigators in white jumpsuits fanned out across the streets, rooftops and awnings around the blast site in search of clues. They picked through trash cans, plastic cup sleeves and discarded sports drink dispensers.
Amid that effort, authorities recovered a piece of circuit board that they believe was part of one of the twin explosive devices, and also found the lid of a pressure cooker that apparently was catapulted onto the roof of a nearby building, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Law enforcement agencies had pleaded Tuesday for the public to come forward with photos, videos or any information that might help them solve the twin bombings that killed three people and wounded more than 170 a day earlier. Investigators circulated information about the bombs, which involved kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and other lethal shrapnel — but the FBI said nobody had claimed responsibility.
"Someone knows who did this," Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston, said Tuesday.
President Barack Obama branded the attack an act of terrorism but said officials don't know "whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual." Obama plans to attend an interfaith service Thursday in the victims' honor in Boston.
On Wednesday, Boston remained under a heavy security presence, and some people admitted they were nervous about moving about in public spaces.
Tyler King, a personal trainer from Attleboro who works in Boston, said four of five clients canceled on him a day earlier because they were worried about venturing into the city. He took the train in, but "I kind of kept my head on a swivel."
Kenya Nadry, a website designer, took her 5-year-old nephew to a playground. "There's still some sense of fear, but I feel like Boston's resilient," she said. "The fine men in blue will take care of a lot of it."
Police were stationed on street corners across downtown Boston, while National Guardsmen set up tents on the Boston Common and stationed tactical vehicles.
Dr. Horacio Hojman, associate chief of trauma at Tufts Medical Center, said patients were in surprisingly good spirits when they were brought in.
"Despite what they witnessed, despite what they suffered, despite many of them having life-threatening injuries, their spirits were not broken," he said. "And I think that should probably be the message for all of us — that this horrible act of terror will not bring us down."
President Barack Obama planned to visit Boston on Thursday to attend a service honoring the victims.
The blasts killed 8-year-old Martin Richard of Boston, 29-year-old Krystal Campbell of Medford, Mass., and Lu Lingzi, a Chinese graduate student at Boston University.

Art of tackling has sadly been removed from modern game
I have a lot of sympathy for Vincent Kompany and really hope his red card against Arsenal is overturned because the referee's reaction to his challenge on Jack Wilshere shows just how FIFA has got the balance wrong when it comes to tackling.
My playing career was badly affected by a broken leg I suffered while playing for Liverpool against Everton in 1987, so I am not complaining about the efforts being made to protect players from serious injury as a result of reckless challenges.
But I really believe that those efforts have gone too far and that defenders are now unable to display the art of tackling or use controlled aggression to win the ball.
That has led to the issue of players on the receiving end of challenges making a meal of them to get their opponents booked or sent off.
I do not want to label anybody as a cheat, but I certainly feel that too many players are now cheating each other into early baths.
In terms of the Kompany incident, it was almost as though the Manchester City captain made the challenge on Wilshere in slow-motion because he was so mindful of the need to get it right.
Kompany's leg was not high, he had his eye on the ball and he made every effort to win the ball cleanly, which he went on to do.
Wilshere slipped at the last moment and tumbled into Kompany's path and that may have made the challenge look worse in the eyes of the referee, Mike Dean.
But issuing a red card for that tackle was very harsh on Kompany. He did everything he could to avoid making a bad tackle.
The game has changed an awful lot since I played in the 1980s, when you had to prove yourself as a man by being aggressive and winning your tackles.
In games against Manchester United, I remember coming up against the likes of Norman Whiteside, Kevin Moran, Bryan Robson, Mark Hughes and Remi Moses, knowing that it was going to be a physical challenge and that the game would be won through aggression. But football has changed and players now have to overcome opponents who are happy to exaggerate contact in challenges simply to get the other player into trouble.
The aggression has gone and it is barely a contact sport now, so it must be so difficult for defenders to play their game.
To that extent, I cannot point to anybody in the game today who I would describe as a great tackler.
That is not because I think the game is littered with bad tacklers or defenders who cannot tackle, but because it has become an art form that has been phased out.
My former Liverpool team-mate Mark Lawrenson was a fantastic tackler – it was a part of the game that was his forte. But defenders are no longer allowed to exhibit that part of their game without risking receiving a yellow or red card for their efforts.
I think what sums the present situation up is that 20 years ago teams could gain an edge on their opponents by showing aggression in a controlled manner.
But now, teams showing that kind of aggression and physicality give their opponents the edge because players will take advantage.
And that is a real shame.
• Jim Beglin made 98 appearances for Liverpool and earned 15 caps for Ireland before suffering a broken leg against Everton in January 1987 which ended his Anfield career and left him sidelined for two and a half years.

There are those who may be surprised that last month's number of Seasonally Adjusted New Home Sales, which was then reported at 389K, and which number hit the airwaves days before the Obama reelection, was the highest since April 2010. We are not among them, as we were fully expecting today's number to be a major revision of the September number lower - as just happened, with the whopper of a print revised far lower to 369K - but doubled down with the additional miss of expectations of Seasonally Adjusted annualized new home sales of 390K for October when in reality only 368K were sold. All these numbers are annualized. When observed on an as is basis, in October there was a grand total of 29,000 new homes sold in the entire USA, with the Northeast representing a whopping... 2,000 of this. Oh and of the 29,000 houses sold, 9,000 were not even started. And finally, for those who enjoy pointing out the rise in home prices driven only and exclusively by foreclosure inventory stuffing and removal of all such real estate from the open markets, both the median and average new home price ($237,700 and $278,900) printed at at the lowest since June. Oh wait, we know: Sandy's fault. Which explains all bad data. When the data is good, it is nobody's fault.
Please point out the housing "recovery" on the chart below.

A bone density test determines if you have osteoporosis — a disorder characterized by bones that are more fragile and more likely to break.
In the past, osteoporosis would be suspected only after you broke a bone. By that time, however, your bones could be quite weak. A bone density test enhances the accuracy of calculating your risk of breaking bones.
A bone density test uses X-rays to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone. The bones that are most commonly tested are in the spine, hip and sometimes the forearm.
Doctors use bone density testing to:
The higher your bone mineral content, the denser your bones are. And the denser your bones, the stronger they generally are and the less likely they are to break.
Bone density tests differ from bone scans. Bone scans require an injection beforehand and are usually used to detect fractures, cancer, infections and other abnormalities in the bone.
Although osteoporosis is more common in older women, men also can develop the condition. Regardless of your sex or age, your doctor may recommend a bone density test if you've:
Limitations of bone density testing include:
Bone density tests are easy, fast and painless. Virtually no preparation is needed. In fact, some simple versions of bone density tests can be done at your local pharmacy or drugstore.
If you're having the test done at a medical center or hospital, be sure to tell your doctor beforehand if you've recently had a barium exam or had contrast material injected for a CT scan or nuclear medicine test. Contrast materials might interfere with your bone density test.
Avoid taking calcium supplements for at least 24 hours before your bone density test.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing and avoid wearing clothes with zippers, belts or buttons. Remove all metal objects from your pockets, such as keys, money clips or change.
Bone density tests are usually done on bones that are most likely to break because of osteoporosis, including:
If you have your bone density test done at a hospital, it'll probably be done on a central device, where you lie on a padded platform while a mechanical arm passes over your body. The amount of radiation you're exposed to is very low, much less than the amount emitted during a chest X-ray. The test usually takes about 10 to 30 minutes.
A small, portable machine can measure bone density in the bones at the far ends of your skeleton, such as those in your finger, wrist or heel. The instruments used for these tests are called peripheral devices, and are often found in pharmacies. Tests of peripheral bone density are less expensive than are tests done on central devices.
Because bone density can vary from one location in your body to another, a measurement taken at your heel usually isn't as accurate a predictor of fracture risk as a measurement taken at your spine or hip. Consequently, if your test on a peripheral device is positive, your doctor might recommend a follow-up scan at your spine or hip to confirm your diagnosis.
Your bone density test results are reported in two numbers: T-score and Z-score.
Your T-score is your bone density compared with what is normally expected in a healthy young adult of your sex. Your T-score is the number of units — called standard deviations — that your bone density is above or below the average.
Your bone density is considered normal.
Your score is a sign of osteopenia, a condition in which bone density is below normal and may lead to osteoporosis.
Your bone density indicates you likely have osteoporosis.
Your Z-score is the number of standard deviations above or below what's normally expected for someone of your age, sex, weight, and ethnic or racial origin. If your Z-score is significantly higher or lower than the average, it may suggest that something other than aging is causing abnormal bone loss. If your doctor can identify the underlying problem, that condition can often be treated and the bone loss slowed or stopped.

Dear friends of animals,
Because you are here on this page, I know that you care. And because you care, I know when you discover what happened to Jacob, you will want to join me to demand justice.
It's easy to forget that each and every animal who is exported from Australia is an individual, with his or her own unique story. We have given Jacob a name, because his story needs to be told. What happened to him in the final minutes of Jacob's life was described to me by an Egyptian slaughterman. By telling his story now, we can help save other animals from similar fates.
Jacob's journey began when he stepped onto a live export ship in Western Australia, and it ended in an Egyptian slaughterhouse, in the city of Ismailia.
There, Jacob was forced into a slaughter box — a box designed to immobilise conscious animals while their throats are cut. Understandably, he panicked. Distressed and terrified, Jacob managed to escape from the box, breaking his leg in the process.
On three legs he ran from the abattoir to an outside pen where he collapsed to the ground. Orders were given by management that this was where Jacob was to die, and a slaughterman set about his task.
As can be seen in this video, Jacob's final moments were prolonged, painful and extremely brutal. His eyes were repeated stabbed to blind him, and his leg tendons slashed so that he could not escape again. When rendered completely helpless, the slaughterman hacked at his throat.
This abattoir where Jacob suffered so terribly was approved by the Australian government and deemed acceptable by live exporters.
Two slaughtermen who worked there described to me how the slaughter box would crush the ribs of conscious animals, and how others, like Jacob, had leapt from the box in panic, only to also break their legs and be terribly slaughtered.
Countless animals who came before Jacob suffered and died within those walls. Countless more will continue to suffer and die there, if live exporters have their way. They cannot express horror at Jacob having his leg tendons slashed, yet be perfectly willing to supply cattle to have their throats slashed whilst fully conscious. If one is wrong, the other is wrong. How can we expect Egyptians to care for their animals, if we do not care for our own by condoning such cruelty?
The brave Egyptian vet who blew the whistle on this cruelty has said that nothing will change until Egyptian authorities introduce and enforce animal protection laws.
Yet, despite this — and despite Egypt's terrible track record on animal welfare, and even after seeing the brutality inflicted on Jacob ... Australia's live export industry wants to send more animals into Egypt.
Jacob was the victim of an industry that put a price on his head, but no value on his welfare.
Please join me to demand justice for Jacob — and all of the victims of the live trade. If your MP cannot give you their personal guarantee that animals will never again be subjected to such terrible abuse — then they must support an end to live export. Click here to share Jacob's story with your MP and demand justice now.
For the animals,

Several yells have been used at athletic events in Occidental's history, but the most popular one to continue to the present is Io Triumphe, introduced to Occidental in 1905 by Frank P Beal '07 of Albion, Michigan, where the yell was used by Albion College. According to Albion College history, the words Io Triumphe were probably borrowed from the Latin poems of the Roman writer, Horace. Both Roman troops and citizens used the phrase to mean literally "Hail, Triumphal Procession" or less formally, "Hurrah, O Triumph." At Albion College it was believed that parts of the yell were inspired by Euripides' play, Iphigenia in Tauris.
Through the years Io Triumphe has moved beyond use solely at athletic events to formal occasions, particularly those initiated by the alumni. By itself, Io Triumphe is used as a salutation or cheer by alumni.
Tiger Roar, hear the Tiger Roar,
All you loyal Oxy men.
Tiger Roar, hear the Tiger Roar,
Oxy wins again.
Spirits higher, let your voices ring,
With and ziss, with a boom, with an ah!
Spirits high, let your voices right,
With a rah! rah! rah! rah!.
Nobody can defeat us, boys. no siree!
Nobody can defeat us boys, on to victory!
Tiger Roar, hear the Tiger Roar,
Carry on and never stop.
Carry on to the top boys,
Don't give in 'til you win,
Spirits high, do or die,
Roar on, Tigers Roar!
A continuing occidental tradition is that of an annual bonfire and rally, originally before the football game with Pomona, but after the mid-1960s prior to the Homecoming game regardless of the competing team. Although definite proof is lacking, some sources indicate that the bonfire was a part of the College's first football game with Pomona held in 1895, but if not then, the record supports its existence within the second decade of the twentieth century.
When still known as the "Pomona Bonfire," the tradition was for the freshmen to gather the wood under watchful eye of sophomores guard the wooden tower against vandals. The bonfire location on the Eagle Rock campus has evolved from College hill, to the baseball field, and subsequently to the hillside parking lot.
A traditional part of the bonfire from 1909 until well into the 1940s was the reading of the poem "O Pomona," written by Chemistry Professor Elbert E. Chandler, on the faculty from 1909-1942.
After each football victory over Pomona College, beginning in the 1930s, a replica of the sagehen (a scrawny rubber chicken), Pomona's mascot, had a funeral and formal burial on the occidental campus on the Monday after the game, a day designated a campus holiday. The event, coordinated by Tiger Claws, typically began with a "service" in Alumni Chapel, then a procession to the grave near Johnson Hall with members of the football team dressed in black gowns serving as pallbearers. Appropriate words were spoken during the "service" and at the grave. This custom appears to have lasted only for a while into the 1950s.
|In 1941 the Alumni Associations from both schools got together and came up with the idea of playing for "The Drum," which is awarded to the winner of the annual Pomona-Pitzer-Occidental football game.
|Since 1946 the Poets and Tigers have played for a pair of bronzed cleats, worn by 1940 Whittier graduate Myron Claxton, in a rivalry game that has grown to be called the "Battle for the Shoes".
A huge orange flag with a block "O" was given to the College in 1934 by the O Club, an organization of varsity lettermen. Designated the Victory Flag, it was hung between Johnson and Fowler Halls to celebrate an Occidental victory, whether a debate, contest, or athletic event, with some irregularity over the years but for certain after a football victory over rival Pomona College. The flag disappeared from public display sometime in the last half of the 1950s.

It has been a while since I have done any kind of Blog Hop, I am trying to get used to blogging regularly again. (I know I am not exactly succeeding but it is all ok with me). Sometimes life gets in the way of such pleasures.
Steph at Show and Tell Blog asked me if I wanted to take part in the 'Around The World Blog Hop'. She said some very nice things about me too, which made me blush a bit. I had to google the colour Octarine. You will enjoy Steph's Blog and her 'work', it always makes me smile.
Steph is very clever and works on a wide variety of beautiful textile, art and craft projects.
|This is a page from a Fabric Book Steph is working on.
For the Hop I have to 'tag' three other bloggers and then answer some questions. Let us see how we go.
My first stop is Israel. Over to Henya's Blog Chicken Stitches. Henya's life and work fascinates me. One of the wonderful things about blogging is we can literally 'hop' around the World and peek in at each others lives. Lives we would often remain ignorant to. Not only is Henya a busy mom to eight, by my standards she is a prolific, talented and adventurous knitter, crocheter and pattern designer. Recently she spotted a lady in a waiting room wearing a machine knit with an unfamiliar stitch she admired, Henya went home and spent a couple of hours getting that stitch right. She makes and sells beautiful stitch markers and very practical patterns.
You have time to order stitch markers for Christmas if you are quick and possibly to knit up a pair of Siberian Slippers or two. (I wish I had a pair right now, it is cold. Brrrrr).
I hope you enjoy Henya's Blog as much as I do.
Next stop, we are going to 'The Land Down Under'. I am pretty sure I will only ever visit Australia by Blog. Never say never, I know but I am not the most seasoned of travelers and I flap quite a lot when I am away from home. As a child on the beach I used to think if I dug far enough I really could drop down into Australia. Next Blog is Ruffs Adventures written by my lovely blog buddy Wendy. Wendy and I seem to share a sense of humor across the miles. Her blog makes me smile and laugh. She travels about all over the place and has real adventures. Ask her the one about the blind Cockatoo. It makes me laugh every time I think about it. Wendy's crochet creations are usually beautiful gifts for her family or friends. Some mittens found their way across the globe to me and I love them.
|Wendy manages to craft on her adventures too
My next
Now I have to answer questions? I think I will make this as quick and painless as I can for us all.
What am I working on?
I don't call any of it work. I play. I 'work' on several things at once and whatever catches my eye along the way. Whatever I do I like it to be for pleasure and not a chore. Recently I have enjoyed knitting, not tinking! I am still dabbling with 'free form' crochet and I am using ruffle yarn for the first time. Spinning and crochet are my first loves. I don't do enough of either and I get frustrated that life gets in the way. My favourite project so far this year has to be the 'Wool Against Weapons' panels.
I did not get to the demonstration but I sent four panels, the one being pinned to the fence is one of mine. I am still proud of it! Craftivism is something I am starting to really enjoy and I love the concept of it. My next blog post will explain more.
How does my work differ from others in it's genre?
Part of why I 'create' or make is to counterbalance my despair with mass production. We can't escape it. I see craft as life skills. spinning, weaving, making fabrics and then garments or utility pieces. There is something very organic and therapeutic about being able to produce and create your own unique stuff. The World seems to go too fast for my liking. Creating is 'Time Out' for me. I can't understand why everyone is not as enthusiastic about yarn and fluff as I am?
Why do I write or create what I do?
A friend recently stopped me in my tracks by asking me 'Why are you crocheting fungi?' 'Why'? Do I need a reason? Why doesn't everyone crochet fungi? Fungi are amazing and so is crochet putting the two together is my idea of fun. Seriously, there is no seriously. Why do anything other than for the reason it makes you 'happy'?
How does my writing/creating process work?
In a very haphazard fashion. I write to 'discuss' things with like minded people. If you like what I write you keep coming back. As a child I had penfriends from all around the world, France, Italy, USA, Zimbabwe, Hong Kong, Brazil and more. I used airmail paper and postage stamps and sometimes it would take weeks for the letters to go on their travels and arrive at their destination. I have had my penfriend from Zimbabwe for nearly 35yrs. We have never met and we now communicate regularly in real time via facebook. It amazes me!
The internet is a great source of knowledge and inspiration. I have found other people who crochet fungi. I know, how cool is that? There really are others out there who crochet fungi. 'Creating' helps me to stop and 'smell the flowers' and to stop and admire natures creations and wonders. Inspiration and ideas are everywhere. It is a shame there is only 24hrs in a day.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - While the Vatican and the largest group of nuns in America debate the role of women in the Roman Catholic Church, the School Sisters of Notre Dame here quietly continue their mission of teaching English and basic life skills to low-income women and children.
The women work out of a simple, yellow house on Stillman Street in the city's East Side. The focus in the colorful, toy-filled preschool rooms at Caroline House is on learning the ABCs, numbers and colors in English.
And, in the adult classrooms here, the emphasis is on learning how to communicate and assimilate in this country.
"We're not here to evangelize," Sister Connie Carrigan, a staff member since 2001, said quietly. "We are here to be good people, and good people are good people."
The nuns help to break down communication barriers between children and their parents. It is this evolving dialogue that makes Caroline House work, the women say.
Alma Farez has been in this country for eight years and can speak some English.
"But one day my child come home from school and asked me, 'What is this word?' and I didn't know the meaning of the word," Farez, 30, said.
She promised her 8-year-old son, Steven, that she would find the definition. After being referred to Caroline House, Farez no longer has trouble communicating with her son or helping him with his homework.
It's the nondenominational setting the nuns work in that makes Caroline House appear worlds away from the politics of the Catholic Church.
Last year, the Vatican accused the Leadership Conference of Women Religious in this country of "serious doctrinal issues" and "radical feminist themes."
The nuns group, which represents 80 percent of the 57,000 nuns in the United States, was reprimanded for raising questions about the church's all-male priesthood, its stance on contraceptives and for not condemning gay marriage and abortion while the nuns carried out their work.
As a result, the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith ordered a restructuring of the group. The results of a separate investigation - called a visitation by Catholic officials - have not been made public.
Lyndy Toole, of Westport, volunteers her time to teach students Zumba dancing. She's also in charge of the children's music program at Caroline House.
Toole sees the positive impact the nuns at Caroline House have in the lives of the women they serve.
"They've changed my life more than I've changed theirs," she said of the adult students, "through their joy, sharing things from their culture and sharing their children with me."
Toole's husband, Patrick, a deacon, sits on the Caroline House board.
"Part of being a Catholic is helping whoever, wherever there is a need," he said. "You can't pick and choose."
And that's what Eunice Alonzo, 28, of Bridgeport, thinks the nuns would have to do if they added the Catholic doctrine to their curriculum. She tells a story similar to the one shared by Farez.
Alonzo, who has been in this country for eight years, signed up to learn English at Caroline House when her 10-year-old asked for help with his homework and she couldn't explain it to him.
She recently took a placement exam to begin the classes.
"I thought (the nuns) were going to talk to me about religion but they didn't," said Alonzo, who is a practicing Pentecostal. "I wouldn't come if they had because I'm not going to change my mind. But you can tell they have a love for teaching."
And it's that love for teaching that drives the nuns to serve others - regardless of their religious beliefs.
Sister Peg Regan, Caroline House's executive director, told Connecticut Magazine in September that her job is to help women, not judge them.
"I believe in a loving God who loves all of us, warts and all," she told the magazine. "And I don't have to judge anybody. I mean, Jesus never condemned anybody."
Regan recently declined to discuss the Vatican's assessment other than to say she doesn't think it will impact the nonprofit negatively.
The nonprofit's funding comes from private donors and fundraisers, not the Catholic Church.
And while the nuns don't impose their beliefs on students, they don't hide their faith, either.
All of the women are always available to pray with a student who asks for prayer.
They joke good-naturedly that half of Bridgeport's residents made their first Holy Communion - and maybe confirmation, too - with the organization's former director, Sister Ann Moles.
Moles headed the catechism program at St. Charles Borromeo Church on East Main Street for years.
After its annual conference last August, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious made it clear it does not agree with the Vatican's assessment. However, it hopes to establish a "dialogue" about the findings and the future structure of the organization.
No matter what happens, the work at Caroline House will always be focused on empowering low-income women and children through learning.
"Every community of (Women Religious) has a mission," Sister Lorraine Quinn said. "For the CND (Congregation of Notre Dame) and the SSND, our basic mission is to teach."


text: [HR][/HR] This a good tweak for those devices that have low ram like the Motorola Droid A855. It works for any devices btw. I give credit to Nibras Reeza & Danzano from XDA. Just trying the spread this tweak out :happy3: Original thread is here: (TWEAK'S) Deodex/odex tweak build.prop tweaks etc - xda-developers This requires edits in build.prop and the use of terminal emulator. **Make a nandroid backup before proceeding -- just for safety purposes. Author of this does is not responsible for any damage that this may cause to your device.** [HR][/HR] WAIT. Before you start, I'm going to say it again, make a NANDROID BACKUP. Also, if you have any V6 Supercharger tweaks installed, un-supercharge before doing these tweaks. Once finished, you may re-supercharge. 1) Open Terminal Emulator on phone or adb shell from PC and type the following. Code: [SIZE=4]su setprop dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode false setprop dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags v=n,o=v[/SIZE] As shown: [HR][/HR] 2) Add these lines to the bottom of build.prop using Root Explorer -- or any other app of your favorite. (If lines starting with dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode or dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags exist already in build.prop, please modify them as shown below. Obviously if it isn't already in build.prop, just add it in.) Code: [SIZE=4]dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode = false dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v[/SIZE] As shown: After this, run these two commands in adb shell or terminal emulator **If you are using the Motorola Droid 1, PLEASE skip this part and go to step 3. Thank you.** Code: [SIZE=4]rm /data/dalvik-cache/* rm /cache/dalvik-cache/* reboot [/SIZE] [HR][/HR] **This step is ideal for OG Droid users -- only.** 3) Okay, this step is only for those who experience errors from typing the following lines from Step 2: rm /data/dalvik-cache/* rm /cache/dalvik-cache/* **If you got the error, make sure to undo the tweak since now you are probably experiencing FC's right now and start all over. The undo process is located at bottom of this post.** So just make sure you have done Step 1 and the edits of build.prop from Step 2 correctly. After that, reboot into recovery and clear cache partition and clear dalvik-cache. Thats all. [HR][/HR] Advantages: More free RAM. Faster launch for system & user apps during the second launch. Gives as much as of a performance boost as ODEX without odexing. Themer friendly. Smoother app switching. Disadvantages: Might break some apps. ( I have not had any break you probably wont either but you have been warned!!!! ) [HR][/HR] How to UNDO this tweak Type the following in adb shell or terminal emulator Motorola Droid 1 users, skip the 3rd and 4th lines. That starts with "rm" and instead, reboot in recovery and clear cache partition and dalvik-cache Code: [SIZE=4]su setprop dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode true rm /data/dalvik-cache/* rm /cache/dalvik-cache/* reboot[/SIZE] CREDIT GOES TO: Nibras Reeza & Danzano from XDA

Cambridge, Mass. – Junior attackman Scott Jones (Port Coquitlam, B.C./Terry Fox) and sophomore face-off specialist Phil Poe (Harwood, Md./DeMatha) were named to the America East Conference First Team in voting done by the league's six head coaches.
Senior defender Aaron Verardi (Lutherville, Md./Boys' Latin) and junior midfielder Scott Hopmann (Annapolis, Md./St. Mary's) earned Second Team honors, while freshman A/M Derek Bertolini(Madison, Conn./Choate) was selected to the All-Rookie Team. Junior defender Ethan Murphy (West Seneca, N.Y./West Seneca East) was named to the league's All-Academic team.
Jones is UMBC's lone repeat honoree, as the nation's current ninth-leading goal scorer, earned Second Team honors in 2011.
Jones has hat tricks or better in four of his last five outings, scoring a total of 16 goals in that span. He had scored in 14 consecutive games (35g-10a-45pts, 3.21 ppg) until being held off the board at Vermont on April 7. Jones had multiple points in 12 of those contests and is currently 9th in the nation with 2.83 goals per contest in 2012. He now also has 12 career games with three or more goals, seven of which has been recorded this season.
A team tri-captain, Jones' season total of 34 goals is the most since Alex Hopmann scored 36 times in 2009 and it is tied for the 17th-best single season in school history.
Poe has attempted all but six draws through 12 games in 2012. He has already won 155 draws in 2012, which is 7th on the Retrievers' all-time list. He was named America East Conference Player of the Week for games ending April 21 as he tied a school record by winning 22 face-offs in the 17-16 overtime victory over Albany. Moreover, his 15 ground balls recorded are the most since Nick Brownlee scooped a school-record 18 vs. VMI in 1997.
The 22 face-off wins are tied for the sixth-most in a Division I single game in 2012. Poe's 68 ground balls on the season is the most for a Retriever since Taylor Marino had 78 in 2008. Poe has won 14 or more draws in eight of the 12 contests in 2012. He is ranked 15th in the country with 5.67 ground balls per game.
Verardi, a four-year letterwinner, started all five conference games at close defense and competed in all 12 contests to date. He has recorded a career-best 15 ground balls, caused six turnovers and scored his first collegiate goal. For his career, Verardi has played in 39 games, starting 22, and has only committed two penalties in that span.
Hopmann recovered from a preseason hamstring injury and is the lone Retriever to record at least one point in each game (11) that he has dressed for in 2012. He is third on the team with 20 points, scoring 12 goals and adding eight assists. He averages 2.2 points per game in America East play and led UMBC with three goals and an assist in the 11-8 win at Vermont.
Bertolini has been a solid contributor in his first season at UMBC. A converted attackman, Bertolini has started four of five America East games at midfield. He has five goals and eight assists to date, which was highlighted by a one-goal, three-assist effort in the 17-16 overtime win vs. Albany.
Murphy, also a tri-captain, converted from a long-stick midfielder position to a spot on close defense in 2012. He has started all 12 games and leads the team with 13 caused turnovers. He is also second on the squad with 37 ground balls.

Gibby leaves leadoff role in Parra's hands
PHOENIX -- D-backs manager Kirk Gibson penciled Gerardo Parra in the leadoff spot for the second consecutive game on Tuesday, and said the outfielder will likely keep that role at least until either Willie Bloomquist or Adam Eaton returns from injury.
Parra, who is a .310 career hitter batting first, tied a career-high with four hits in Monday night's 6-2 win over the Cardinals.
"It'll be hard to take him out of there if he keeps playing that way," Gibson said. "He's worked hard, and here he is today. He had a great game for us."
Parra's improvement in his approach at the plate over the past few seasons gives Gibson the confidence to slot him higher in the lineup.
"We started him down batting eighth, where it taught him to be selective because the pitcher was behind him," Gibson said. "He wasn't very selective when he first came up, but now he's evolved up to the one-hole. He sets the tone. He's done a good job, and it'll be interesting to see if he can sustain it for the whole year."
A.J. Pollock, who has hit leadoff in 11 of his 33 career games, is another option at the top of the lineup, but Martin Prado is not. Gibson ruled out Prado, saying he prefers the third baseman in the two-hole.

Some people drift off to sleep on a bed of clouds. Customers of Etsy store Craftsquatch drift off to sleep on Google, Twitter, and Facebook pillows.
You won't need sheep anymore when you can count your Google+ friends while laying your geeky head on a $28 Google+ pillow handcrafted from fleece with a polyester filling. A matching Plus One pillow is available to complete the set.
If Facebook is more your thing, you can get a blue and white Facebook pillow for $24.99. Go ahead and poke it with your finger for a truly tactile social-media experience.
These pillows aren't all about social networking. You can also get an iPod icon, a Photoshop logo, an App Store icon, and a Chrome pillow. Cuddle with an Android or rest your weary head on a Gmail icon.
The Craftsquatch geek pillows are essentially stuffed-animal substitutes for adult geeks. The good news is they're a lot softer than trying to sleep with your tablet or laptop.
