Rays acquire Forsythe in seven-player deal with Padres
Tampa Bay ships Torres, Hahn to San Diego in trade, which also involves prospects
ST. PETERSBURG -- Utilityman Logan Forsythe highlighted the five players received by the Rays in a seven-player deal with the Padres on Wednesday. Tampa Bay traded left-hander Alex Torres and right-hander Jesse Hahn for Forsythe, right-handers Brad Boxberger, Matt Lollis and Matt Andriese, and infielder Maxx Tissenbaum.
Prospects acquired by Rays
- Matt Andriese, RHP: The Padres' third-round selection in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, Andriese has put up impressive numbers throughout his professional career. His 3.58 ERA led the California League in 2012, and he built on that success last season. Andriese was an All-Star in the Texas League, and he earned a midseason promotion to Triple-A Tucson. Andriese throws his fastball in the low-90s with good deception. He also throws a hard curveball and a splitter. Andriese pounds the strike zone and generates lots of ground balls. Andriese has the potential to be a solid Major League starter and shouldn't need too much more seasoning before he's ready for the big leagues.
- Matt Lollis, RHP: A 15th-round pick in the 2009 Draft, Lollis began his professional career with a bang, excelling in the lower levels of the Minor Leagues as a teenager. Since then, however, he has struggled to repeat his success while getting as high as Triple-A. San Diego moved Lollis to the bullpen full-time in 2013, and he posted a 4.62 ERA and a 63 to 39 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 74 innings across three levels. Lollis throws his fastball in the mid- to upper-90s, but his 6-foot-9 frame makes it difficult for him to repeat his delivery, and his command suffers as a result. His offspeed pitches are all potentially average offerings, but unless Lollis can solve his control problems, his ceiling is limited.
- Maxx Tissenbaum, 2B: A key member of the Stony Brook team that made a Cinderella run to the 2012 College World Series, Tissenbaum spent his first full professional season with Class A Fort Wayne. He hit .277 with a .365 on-base percentage in 111 games in 2013. Tissenbaum's swing is geared to make a lot of contact, and he is difficult to strike out. He has gap power and isn't a speedster. He is a steady defender, capable of making all the plays at second base. Tissenbaum's skill set doesn't wow scouts, but his heady play and makeup allow him to get all that he can out of his modest tools.
-- Teddy Cahill
"[Forsythe] was a guy we had tried to acquire previously, and he was very high on our target list," said executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. "We gave up two arms that we like a lot to get a number of players we feel fit us really well."
Forsythe, 27, has played parts of the past three seasons with San Diego, hitting .241/.310/.349 in 228 Major League games. He batted .214 with six home runs and 19 RBIs in 75 games last season.
Forsythe told reporters on a conference call that he initially learned that he might be traded Monday night.
"Once the shock got out of the way, it was excitement for me and my fiancée, and we're ready to go," Forsythe said.
Friedman called Forsythe a "versatile infielder that provides really competitive at-bats."
"We feel like various injuries have prevented him from reaching his potential," Friedman said. "We feel like he has an upside on his skill set on both sides of the ball. We feel like that fits us really well. … He plays extremely hard."
Forsythe suffered a torn plantar fascia in his right foot in a Spring Training game during the final week of March, which landed him on the 15-day disabled list and later the 60-day DL to make sure he got enough time off for the injury to heal. He now believes his problems are behind him.
"We addressed the problem right at the end of the season last year," Forsythe said. "The trainers at San Diego, we dealt with it the whole year. So we kind of knew our approach, what would work best at the end of the year."
Forsythe explained that he was given an injection and had his right foot placed in a boot for three weeks.
"Once I had the boot off, the plantar felt great and I kind of just took my time getting back into the swing of things," Forsythe. "I've done therapy the past couple of months and just got slowly back into shape. And it's been great so far. ... The whole thing with the plantar kind of affected everything else, including my knees and hips. So when that feels good, everything else feels good."
The right-handed-hitting Forsythe has a .290 career average, with five home runs and 17 RBIs against left-handed pitching.
Forsythe, who has played second, short, third and the corner outfield spots, will be under team control by the Rays for the next four seasons, with the 2014 season at the league minimum. His addition will strengthen the competition for roster spots for utility players, which Tampa Bay has a great affinity for on its roster. Other players in that mix will include Sean Rodriguez, Jayson Nix and Vince Belnome.
Torres had a coming-out party in 2013, so seeing him dealt is a surprise. In 39 relief appearances last year, Torres posted a 1.71 ERA over 58 innings. Friedman explained that the Rays dealt from an "area of depth to address an area of weakness."
"Left-handers in the bullpen is an area of strength for us," Friedman said. "As we sit here today, we have [Jake] McGee and [Cesar] Ramos. [C.J.] Riefenhauser and [Jeff] Belveau will be in Triple-A, and there are some other guys who are bullpen options."
Tampa Bay selected Hahn in the sixth round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. In two Minor League seasons, he is 4-3 with a 2.38 ERA in 34 starts. Hahn missed the 2011 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.
Boxberger is 0-1 with a 2.72 ERA in 42 Major League games with San Diego. In four Minor League seasons, he is 11-20 with a 3.54 ERA and 21 saves in 170 appearances. Friedman noted that Boxberger has "the potential to be a high-leveraged quality reliever" who can get out hitters from both sides of the plate.
Boxberger was acquired by the Padres in a trade with the Reds in December 2011. The 25-year-old was named San Diego's No. 12 prospect by MLB.com entering the 2012 season. Cincinnati selected him in the first round (43rd overall) of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Southern California. His father, Rod, earned College World Series MVP honors for the 1978 USC national championship squad that went 54-9.
Lollis, 23, is 15-33 with a 4.79 ERA in 149 Minor League appearances. He was selected by the Padres in the 15th round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of Riverside (Calif.) Community College. Friedman said the Rays like Lollis' makeup and because of the stuff he has, he has a "real upside."
Andriese, 24, is 26-16 with a 3.18 ERA in 66 Minor League appearances, 59 of which were starts. San Diego selected him in the third round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft out of UC-Riverside.
"He does two things that we value quite a bit: the ability to throw strikes and keep the ball on the ground," Friedman said.
Tissenbaum, 22, bats left-handed and has played second, third, first, shortstop and designated hitter. Friedman remarked that Tissenbaum has "excellent bat-to-ball skills."
In two Minor League seasons, Tissenbaum has a .282 batting average, with five home runs and 78 RBIs in 159 games. The Padres selected him in the 11th round of 2012 First-Year Player Draft out of Stony Brook University.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California Governor Jerry Brown, facing a federal court order to ease overcrowding in the state's prison system, proposed a $315 million plan on Tuesday to expand inmate capacity by leasing space from county jails and other facilities.
The Democratic governor, who was joined by Republican leaders of the state legislature in announcing the bill, said his proposal would reduce California's prisons to 137.5 percent of capacity, as required by the court, and avoid the controversial early release of thousands of inmates.
He is seeking passage of the bill in the California legislature which would allocate funding.
"This legislation will protect public safety and give us time to work with public officials and interested parties to make thoughtful changes in the overall criminal justice system," Brown said in a written statement.
After years of litigation, a specially appointed panel of three appellate judges ruled in 2009 that California's prisons can exceed their design capacity but set a specific cap on the inmate population that would force the state to either find new homes for some 10,000 prisoners or let them go.
Frustrated with the slow pace of the state's response, the three judges have twice threatened Brown with contempt.
Earlier this month the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a petition for a stay of that order by state prison officials, who argued that they were working to meet the population target by December 31 but that doing so could be costly and pose a risk to public safety.
Though Brown's joint appearance with Republican leaders and Democratic Assembly Speaker John Perez suggested bipartisan support for his plan, Senate President pro tem Darrell Steinberg took immediate issue with the bill.
"The governor's proposal is a plan with no promise and no hope. As the population of California grows, it's only a short matter of time until new prison cells overflow and the Court demands mass releases again," Steinberg said in a written statement.
"More money for more prison cells alone is not a durable solution; it is not a fiscally responsible solution; and it is not a safe solution," he said. "We must invest in a durable criminal justice strategy, which reduces both crime and prison overcrowding."
According to the governor's office, his plan would allocate $315 million for the state to "expeditiously" lease in-state and out-of-state prison capacity, including at county jails and private facilities.
Brown's proposal comes as new attention is being focused on California prisons during a hunger strike by inmates to protest conditions in special housing units where some prisoners are held for prolonged periods in isolation.
The protest is the third and largest hunger strike staged by inmates over solitary confinement in the last two years.
State officials deny the inmates' claims of inhumane conditions, saying that some prisoners have cell mates, are permitted visits and have access to a law library.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation last week won a court order allowing them to force feed some of the prisoners taking part in the hunger strike, although officials said there was no immediate need to do so.

This program not only allows you to edit/save configuration files for use with both V1 (non LCD) and V2 (LCD) chargers, it also allows you to monitor and control your chargers in real time.
For V1 chargers, you will need an external FTDI adapter plugged into the bottom of the charger. For V2 chargers, the interface is built into the charger, so you only need a mini USB cable connected between your computer and the charger.
For V1 chargers, to use the utility without an FTDI adapter, you need to save your file as charger.bin on the SD card. If you delete the file and restart the charger, it will return back to the default settings unless you have previously set the option for "Reset Values on Restart" to No.
A few notes.
- With this utility, you can set charge rates of up to 2 amps. For high charging rates, you will need to solder on a header pin to supply extra current to the charger - otherwise it will reset shortly after charging starts
- Although you can specify the discharge rate, this doesn't actually have any effect unless you set Discharge mode to "Internal" The V1 charger can't control current when using an external load.
- NiMH settings also apply to NiCads - the charger doesn't differentiate between them as the charging algorithm is the same.

Wii Balance Board good aid for doctors, study finds
'Now, Mrs Golightly, if you'll just step onto this gaming peripheral...'
The Wii Balance Board (BB) peripheral could provide doctors with a cost-effective way of assessing a patient's ability to stand up straight, a report has concluded.
Medics from the University of Melbourne and Singapore General Hospital's Department of Physiotherapy together tested Nintendo's £70 accessory as a way of assessing patients' ability to balance.
"There is currently no validated system which can precisely quantify center of pressure" (COP) in patients, the report said. Doctors often use force platforms – high-tech scales that measure ground reaction forces created when someone stands on them — but most are expensive, heavy and in short supply where needed.
Wii Balance Board: pretty good at measuring a patient's equilibrium, the report found
Nintendo's BB, however, is "inexpensive, portable and widely available", the report said.
To study the BB's potential medical uses, the boffins asked 30 people to perform single- and double-leg upright balance tests with their eyes open or closed.
The Wii was connected to a laptop and its COP readout – which help doctors assess if a patient is stable when standing up – were generally found to be as good as those produced by force platforms, though it was found to be less sensitive to very slight movements.
Nintendo's Wii Balance Board usually allows players to controls games by moving their bodies - steering a surfboard, for example. But it has already been paired with weight-loss games, helping users monitor their BMI and other fitness stats.
The full report is available online now, for a fee. ®

International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes
The World Health Organization and UNICEF have for many years emphasized the importance of maintaining the practice of breastfeeding, and of reviving the practice where it is in decline, as a way to improve the health and nutrition of infants and young children. A variety of factors influence the prevalence and duration of breastfeeding.
The 27th World Health Assembly in 1974 noted the general decline in breastfeeding related to different factors including the production of manufactured breast-milk substitutes and urged Member countries to review sales promotion activities on baby foods and to introduce appropriate remedial measures, including advertisement codes and legislation where necessary.
The 33rd World Health Assembly, en May 1980, endorsed in their entirety the statement and recommendations agreed by consensus at this joint WHO/UNICEF meeting and made particular mention of the recommendation that "There should be an international code of marketing of infant formula and other products used as breast-milk substitutes".
In May 1981 the Health Assembly debated the issue after it had been introduced by the representative of the Executive Board. It adopted the code, as proposed, on 21 May by 118 votes.

Wendy Contreras has always loved to sing. She wanted to pursue music in college, but she wasn't convinced that she was capable.
Her insecurities faded during her freshman year when she began taking classes with MU's private voice instructor, who recognized a rich potential.
"She made me see that I needed to pursue singing and never give up," Contreras says. "If something's meant for you, you'll succeed."
Contreras also credits Stan Campbell, director of MU's music program, with helping her see the point of making music: bringing people back to God.
"I saw how the Lord used my music to touch people," she says. "When I realized that he'd given me this gift, I wanted to be responsible with it."
Since then, Contreras has learned piano at MU, and she's honed her talents in the university's jazz ensemble. She also leads worship at MU's weekly chapels.
The more she saturates herself in music, the more people ask her to sing at their churches or on albums they're producing.
"God has been opening doors for me everywhere," she says.
MU's vibrant community of musicians has also played a big role in Contreras' development as a vocalist. She used be afraid to share music she'd written. But once she did, her peers were full of compliments and support.
"I realized that I'd underestimated myself," she says. "Now I can open up to fellow musicians."
Despite all the recognition, Contreras says the most important thing she's learned at MU is how to be humble.
"Humility is acknowledging everything you have without boasting," she says. "I had to realize I was good at singing, but that it's not for me – it's for God's glory. This is what I was created to do."

H&S Railroad Man
Russell D.Tipton
His grandfather was a railway postal
clerk and his father worked in the traffic
department of the old Hocking Valley
Railroad in Ohio, later merged with
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. It
seems only natural then, that Russell D.
Tipton, growing up in the bustling rail
center of Toledo in the 1920s, would
respond to the lure of steel rails and
the glamour of railroading in its heyday.
Today, Russ Tipton, partner in charge
of the Newark Office, is an acknowledged
expert in the field of transportation
accounting and serves as the Firm's
industry coordinator for railroads. But
the chain of circumstances that brought
Russ Tipton to H&S and into the field
of railroad accounting was far from predictable.
Russ was a student at Ohio State
University back in the mid 1930s, when
the country was painfully lifting itself
out of the great depression and jobs of
any kind were pretty hard to come by.
As it happened, the University was
looking ahead to better times when, in
1935, it decided to try out an internship
program for accountants. It was one of
the first schools to try such a plan.
The chairman of the accounting department
at OSU, a man named Jacob
Taylor, arranged with Clifford Scovill,
H&S partner and manager of the personnel
department, to send Harry Wey-rich
and Bill Royer to work for Haskins
& Sells in New York on a trial basis. It
was agreed that if the internship idea
worked it would be extended in subsequent
years. Obviously things worked
out well, for partner Harry Weyrich is
now in the Executive Office with more
than thirty-six years with the Firm and
partner Bill Royer served twenty-three
years before his death in 1958.
The year after the internship program
started, the University decided to
send twelve to fifteen undergraduates
to intern with four or five of the major
accounting firms. Russ Tipton remem-

For the past five days, all day, every day, I've been eating out. Terrible, I know. But, my in-laws are in town, and because that's what they like to do and we love them, we do it. There are worse things in the world than pointing to a menu, having food brought to you, leaving some cash and then having all the dishes taken away, but as you know, I really adore cooking in my small space at home. I love the sweet, savory and tangy aromas and the sounds of pots clanging and vents whirring and the feeling of setting a finished dish down in front of others and gobbling it up together. I love it, yet I haven't done it in FIVE. DAYS.
I needed a fix, STAT!
Well, I got my fix one sunny, slow morning, when we didn't have any early morning committments with Mark's parents, and made these muffins for breakfast. Breakfast, after all, has been the one meal that we have been able to quickly grab at home before a day full of running around and seeing the sights, so I wanted to make it special. And what a yummy breakfast these muffins made!
Bananas are my favorite fruit to bake with because they have such natural sweetness. There's never any need for much sugar when using them in a recipe, which allows you to keep these muffins and other banana recipes pretty healthy. That is, before you slather on butter or cream cheese…
Much like my Walnut Banana Bread, but without nuts and not quite as rich, this muffin is a morning treat to savor and get your day started right. The banana flavor is rich and warm, and the streusel topping is totally decadent but not too over-the-top for breakfast. I think you'll really enjoy making these muffins, and especially biting into them, if, like me, this is your first banana crumb muffin experience!

Banana Crumb Muffins
Yield: Makes 10 muffins
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
3 bananas, mashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tbsp. butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
In a large bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, vanilla, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tbsp. flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.
Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

DSF's 'good speaker' tradition continues with Cokie Roberts
Denver Scholarship Foundation set the bar high when author/columnist George Will headlined its first fundraising dinner. But instead of saying, "Well, that was nice. Now let's stick with the local talent," principals agreed to keep the tradition alive.
Year 2's speaker was New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who was followed in 2011 by veteran newswoman Cokie Roberts. The promise of hearing her views on national and international affairs drew 1,400 people to the Hyatt Regency Convention Center, raising a little over $2 million for the higher-education grants DSF gives to low-income, highly motivated students from the Denver Public Schools.
Oilman Tim Marquez and his wife, Bernadette, started DSF and remain its biggest backers. Bernadette Marquez chaired An Evening with Cokie Roberts with Caz Matthews and Dr. Dean Prina. Prina also chairs the DSF board.
Pictures from An Evening with Cokie Roberts
Comcast was one of the evening's $50,000 sponsors, thanks in large part to the fact that its Western Region president, Steve White, serves on the DSF board. White, along with such other Comcast executives as public relations staffers Cindy Parsons and Mary Spillane, were hosts to a group that included Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.
Comcast also sponsored the evening's film presentation about DSF Scholar and recent Regis University graduate Cristina Chacon, who spoke to the guests on behalf of the 2,000 Denver students who have received financial assistance from DSF.
"You just can't imagine how powerful it is for us to know that we are valued and supported by people like you," she said. "Valued for what we have accomplished and for what we will accomplish." She also pledged that her generation will continue "to work hard, to earn your respect, and make sure you are proud of us and satisfied that your investment in our future was a good one."
Gov. John Hickenlooper, a founding member of DSF, announced that BP America became a new partner in DSF's Talent Development Initiative by giving $100,000 to support scholarships for students seeking degrees in science, technology, math, and engineering. BP America's Lisa Hough was on hand for the announcement.
Hickenlooper also illustrated his own dedication to DSF and the cause of higher education by presenting a personal gift of $10,000 on behalf of himself and wife Helen Thorpe.
Britney and Dick Weil sponsored Roberts' appearance, and invited her to sit at their table, along with DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg and Margot and Mark Pinto. Margot Pinto is a member of the Denver Public Schools Foundation board.
DSF board member Eula Adams and his wife, Janet, filled their table with such friends as June and Dr. Johnny Johnson and Dr. Reginald Washington, chief medical officer of Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, and his wife, Faye.
Other guests were U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet; former Gov. Bill Ritter and his wife, Jeannie; Hickenlooper's chief of staff, Roxane White; DSF's executive director, Cindy Abramson; Scott and Virginia Reiman; former Mayor Federico Pena and his wife, Cindy; Tami Paumier and Glen Warren; Arlene and Barry Hirschfeld, Susan and Howard Noble, Dick and Marsha Robinson; Hassan and Sheila Salem; Terry Leprino; Rico Munn; Jack and Jeanne Kim; Steve and Jeanette Ableman; Lisa and Scott Scheirman; Mary and George Sissel; Tom and Noel Congdon; Casey Cortese and 7News anchor Anne Trujillo, who emceed.

for Midwifery supports the rights of women to autonomy and bodily
integrity regarding maternity care and birthing choices. Such choices should be made in the context of full disclosure and honest, unbiased and complete informed consent processes. Cesarean
sections for no medical indication, by "maternal request" or not,
entail serious risks, unnecessarily use scarce healthcare resources,
and entail extra costs born by the public. Citizens for Midwifery supports maternity care that nurtures and enables normal birth with minimal interventions.
ACNM Media Briefing The ACNM held a media briefing Monday, March 20, in Washington, DC,
"The Untold Story of Cesarean Birth: Risks from Complications
Understated and Misunderstood" to highlight complications from cesarean
section and new national data on women's views and experiences. Read more about the media briefing and ACNM's press release. The press release includes links and quotes from leaders of the participating national childbirth organizations. Links to media briefing materials, including fact sheets and articles from the various organizations are also available.
In addition to Citizens for Midwifery, organizations supporting the media briefing include: the American Association of Birth Centers, Childbirth Connection, Coalition for Improving Maternity Services, International Cesarean Awareness Network, and Lamaze International.
Childbirth Connection: Listening To Mothers Survey 2005 At the ACNM briefing, Childbirth Connection is releasing preliminary findings
from the second Listening to Mothers Survey relating to cesarean
sections. Results indicate that women VERY rarely schedule first
cesareans by choice without a medical reason.
NIH Conference on 'cesarean delivery by maternal request' The ACNM briefing is scheduled one week before a major National Institutes of Health State-of-the-Science Conference: Cesarean Delivery on Maternal Request .
conference, which was planned in the absence of any hard data regarding
so-called "patient choice" cesarean sections, will take place March
27-29 (registration deadline is March 24). There will be a live webcast
of the conference sessions. The conference will end with a press
conference announcing the recommendations of the panelists for future
research in this area.

Lower Men's Sensitivity – Tips to Help Delayed Delays
Since the release of the seeds usually coincides with the extraordinary pleasure for men, men who usually experience delayed release often do not enjoy the sensual experience as much as they want. When the sensitivity of the male organs diminishes the problem, even when practicing proper male organ care, men may become frustrated and dissatisfied. Lower Men's Sensitivity – Tips to Help Delayed Delays
People who have a hard time resisting the release of seeds, especially those who are at the beginning of this department, may not have much sympathy for fellow men who feel involved in large amounts of sensual activity prior to discharge.
But it can be a big problem. Imagine being a man who courageously endures long after his partner has achieved satisfaction. The man tends to become self-conscious and feels different types of performance anxiety, a pressure to be lowered immediately. This in turn will make it more difficult for him to release it. A willing and accommodating couple can become sick and tired from continuing activity.
And sometimes this encounter ends with a man who loses his misery before it reaches satisfaction. It can be very frustrating, but it can also cause problems in the relationship. His partner may believe that he must have done something wrong or that he does not feel sensual enough if his delayed release becomes non-release.
Sensitivity decreases
There are many reasons why someone might experience a delayed release. Sometimes it is psychological. At other times, this may be a position problem, which means that his maturity is such that it takes a certain position during the sensual act to receive the friction it needs.
Often, delayed release is a result of reduced male organ sensitivity. Everything works well, mentally and physically, but the members themselves have become somewhat "deadened" and do not have the same level of sensitivity as before.
Why? Well, sometimes the reason is that its members experience some kind of trauma. This can be a sudden and striking trauma, because when adolescent maturity strikes an unexpected object or at an unpredictable angle, causing injury to a blunt muscle, accompanied by pain and / or bruising. It can also lead to the creation of a thin layer of scar tissue, which can reduce the organ's ability to experience the full sensation.
In such cases, trauma is quite striking. However, in many other cases, trauma may be much more subtle and may occur unnoticed. In this case, trauma is caused by rough handling, usually during sensual activity, but may not be too harsh to note. For example, men may often stimulate themselves when using a grip that is too tight. The friction causes damage, but his sensual pleasures cause him to ignore the friction-related discomfort.
Similarly, men can enjoy the sensual activity of couples without sufficient lubrication. More friction may not be noticed due to activity pleasure. Lower Men's Sensitivity – Tips to Help Delayed Delays
This more delicate form of trauma can cause peripheral nerve damage. Over time, they can contribute to a significant decrease in male organ sensitivity. The result may be the issue of delayed release being discussed.

"Today has been a great day for us, with two victories," said team skipper Max Sirena. "But we want to keep our feet on the ground and look ahead to the next two days. There are still many points to be gained and we need to approach it in the right way."
While conditions were perfect for racing, with moderate 8-10 knot sea breezes, the challenge came from the narrow, restricted race course, which was shoe-horned into the canal. This forced the boats close together and the crews were obliged to execute an unprecedented number of tacks and gybes as they zigzagged up and down the track.
"The boats are so physically taxing on the guys, it is literally a flogging," said Kiwi skipper Dean Barker, who agrees that the helmsman has the 'easy' job on board. His team sits in fourth place on a tight leaderboard. "You can't but help but feel sorry for the other guys. At the end of the race their tongues are hanging out and they're completely spent."
Loick Peyron's Energy Team retained their position at the top of the Fleet Racing leaderboard, but not without some nervous moments. The team was in last place at the first two marks of the second race, before making a spectacular comeback on the next leg of the course to round in second place, a position they protected all the way to the finish, maintaining their consistent finishes to date.
The race course, at its narrowest, was only 140 meters, meaning at times crews would barely have trimmed on a sail before they had to make another manoeuver. But the smaller field of play made for incredible spectator opportunities, with hundreds of boats lining the course, and thousands more taking in the action from the shore.
"The Italian people love sailing, they love the America's Cup, and they love Luna Rossa," Sirena said. "It was amazing how many people there were and how many boats we had on the water. And on Saturday there will be even more!"
Today's Match Racing did not take place as scheduled. The Semi Finals are rescheduled to Saturday, and will take place following the Fleet Races 5 and 6.

Class B retail sales are improving at a faster percentage rate than larger class A and C motorhomes, according to a news release from Roadtrek Motorhomes Inc.
In the first half of 2009, while A's and C's were off 44%, Class B's were down "only" 28%, according to Roadtrek, a Kitchener, Ontario-based Class B manufacturer, which cited results from Statistical Surveys Inc. In the third quarter, Class B's actually grew by 6% while A's and C's were still down by 24%. Sales diverged even further in the latest month available, September, with B's up 21% and A's and C's still down by 24%.
"I am not surprised that Class B's were less affected by the downturn in the RV market and are coming back faster than their larger cousins," said Jeff Hanemaayer, Roadtrek chairman. "Class B's have the oldest buyers in the industry. With an average age of 62, most are retired (or soon will be) and are therefore less impacted by job losses, credit restrictions, etc. And as sales return to normal, Class B's will benefit even more as more Baby Boomers move into their late 50s and 60s."
Roadtrek continues to dominate the Class B segment with almost half the market, he noted.
"Roadtreks have been the No. 1 selling Class B's since 1990. I am happy to see our dominant market share growing in 2009. It speaks well to the strength of our brand's design, quality, value and customer service," he said.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 14, No. 2 Fall 1987
1987 Accounting Hall of Fame Induction
Philip Leroy Defliese CITATION
Presented by: Robert M. Trueblood Professor Yuji Ijiri Carnegie-Mellon University
Written by: Professor Thomas J. Burns The Ohio State University
In fiction, he would be a detective in a Dashiell Hammett Novel. In real life, he has described himself as "a New Yorker" with the subtlety of an "elephant." When he was told of his election to the hall, he retorted why had it taken so long. Maybe this forceful yet genial accountant is a bit hard-boiled, but he is also widely regarded for both his wit and his ability.
A child of the long depression, he talks and acts in the straightest way possible, perhaps he took his first full-time job at the age of 16, spent five nights a week, for seven years, to earn his first college degree, and has never stopped working since. How could he not be a realist when having started as a mailboy? He took a pay cut of $2.50 per week to become an accountant — (and replaced an older man making twice as much). How could he not be a pragmatist when he could do better financially as a teacher — of high school or at Adelphi University — than he could in public accounting? For four years, he was a "permanent substitute" high school teacher of accounting under Mayor LaGuardia before passing the CPA exams and becoming a "permament temporary" junior ac-countant at Coopers and Lybrand. Earning his master's degree in business education in evening classes at City College of New York, he completed all but his dissertation for his Ph.D. at New York University.
In World War II, he was a lieutenant in the Pacific who specialized in anti-submarine warfare; afterwards he married Pauline who had lived only a block away but who met him on a blind date. When he came back to the firm in 1948, he re-quested a three-part assignment: auditing in the field, teaching in the officer training school, and assisting the firm's SEC specialist. During the twenty years until he became the firm's managing partner and the dozen years afterwards, his leader-

A Playboy model lost an effort to dismiss a criminal charge for taking a photo of a naked 71-year-old woman at a gym and posting it on social media with disparaging remarks about the woman's body.
A judge ruled Monday against Dani Mathers in Los Angeles Superior Court in her bid to toss a misdemeanor count of invasion of privacy.
Mathers, 30, has acknowledged — and apologized for — taking the photo at an LA Fitness club and posting it on Snapchat in July with the caption: "If I can't unsee this then you can't either."
U.S. & World
The 2015 Playmate of the year quickly became the target of online venom for the so-called body shaming incident. Her lawyers said she meant to send the photo privately to a friend and inadvertently posted it publicly.
Mathers' career as a model and radio host has been destroyed by the incident, defense lawyers said. Mathers, who has no criminal record, has offered to make amends by using her notoriety to bring attention to the issue of body shaming.
Prosecutors have pushed for a conviction on the charge and four weeks of community service with a road crew, according to court papers. She's shown no remorse and "should face the consequences of her cruel and criminal act," Deputy City Attorney Chadd Kim said.
The defense unsuccessfully tried to get the case thrown out on the theory the law was vague about how "identifiable" a victim needs to be.
Attorney Dana Cole said the victim cannot be easily identified because the photo was shot from far away. He said it took considerable effort for Los Angeles police and the gym to identify the woman, who has not been named.
Kim called the argument a "leap of illogic."
Judge Gustavo Sztraicher said the law was valid and allowed the case to proceed. A pretrial hearing is scheduled May 24.

Many of the software industry's top vendors are still struggling to reduce the number of vulnerabilities across all classes of products, an analysis of 2011's flaw figures by research company Secunia has revealed.
Using its own database plus publically known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), Secunia's Yearly Report 2011 found that almost two thirds of all software vulnerabilities are caused by products from only 20 vendors.
These appear to divide into two groups, with companies such as Microsoft, Apple, and IBM showing significant reductions in the number of vulnerabilities found in their products year-on-year, leaving most of the rest to show significant increases.
At the top of the list on the one-year scale were open source vendors, although Secunia points out that the shared nature of the code used by companies such as Novell, Red Hat, Debian, and Gentoo probably exaggerates the issue for any one of them.
Harder to explain is Oracle, which showed a increase between 2010 and 2011 of 34 percent, reaching a total of 497 vulnerabilities, all originating within its own development.
The high point for vulnerabilities remains the complacent eras of 2006, since when overall vulnerability numbers (measured either using Secunia's database of the public CVE reports) have shown modest declines.
However, when the critical top 20 were measured against the five-year trend the picture changed again with all showing significant increases, some in the hundreds of percent.
Top of this list was Google, which rose on either one year or five year timescales, again a reflection of the large number of shared components used in the company's software.
The question Secunia raises is which vulnerabilities matter the most – the large number of relatively obscure ones or those found in popular and shared products – and is it possible to say that the situation is getting better or worse.
In the minds of admins what matters the most is which vulnerabilities are being exploited and here Secunia's notes the tendency to pay closest attention to software from prominent companies such as Microsoft. In fact, of the roughly 870 vulnerabilities that have hit the 50 most popular Windows products since 2007, 685 were in third-party software.
"The incorrect perception that Microsoft programs still represent the primary attack vector, means that defences based on this false assumption are as effective as locking the front door to your home while the back door remains wide open," say the report authors.
In 2011, about one in five vulnerabilities were rated as serous, Secunia found.
Secunia's report will probably make depressing reading for the admins tasked with defending networks using patching regimes and as much vigilance as they have time to muster.
Given the software complexity of the average PC, keeping the average machine patched means negotiating the patching mechanism of 12 different updating systems just to keep on top of the top 50 applications. Beyond that, a further 78 percent of vulnerabilities affecting PCs require interacting with another 11 updating mechanisms.

Best SAG Print: Claire Danes
And a monumental bitchface too when she got out of her car. I attributed it to hunger. Angela just looks so hungry all the time, so bulimic in the jaw, gossip would be a lot less interesting if these people decided to eat like normal. Boys too, not just girls. For starters they'd all be nicer to each other.
Aside from the fact that she's starving and miserable though, I do love the print of her Louis Vuitton dress. So much. And she gets bonus points too for being the only one of note to do a print all night. It's like a painting, something hanging in a museum, even if the belt seems a little off, this is the dress among all of them I'd want for myself.
But I'll repeat what I tweeted last when she was up on stage accepting her award: Blot.

LAIKA's awesome 3D stop-motion feature, ParaNorman opens this Friday. Directed by Chris Butler and Sam Fell, the film centers on a young boy who can see the dead and must use this gift to lift a curse that threatens his small town. ParaNorman features the voices of Kodi-Smit McPhee, Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, John Goodman, Casey Affleck, Leslie Mann, Jodelle Ferland and more. For more on the film, here's six clips, a very cool featurette called Time Lapse, and all our previous coverage.
At the recent Los Angeles press day I spoke to Kodi-Smit McPhee. We talked about making ParaNorman, his reaction to the finished film, how the script change along the way, what surprised him about the recording process, and upcoming projects like The Congress, Romeo and Juliet and A Birder's Guide to Everything. Hit the jump to watch.
Finally, here's my video interview with Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Anna Kendrick, Leslie Mann, and directors Sam Fell and Chris Butler.

In the operation of a chemical process it is important to maintain proper analytical control to ensure that all steps of the process are proceeding as they should. The purpose of process control is to maintain quantitative and/or qualitative information about the chemical process. This information can be used for supervision and to optimize the process with regards to the consumption of time, energy and raw material. This may lead to higher quality and/or less emissions. It is important to minimize the total costs. This involves maintaining product quality, meeting production targets and making efficient use of utilities such as steam, electricity and cooling water.
The controlled variable in a process must be easy to measure either directly or indirectly. The most important variables controlled in chemical processes are flow rate, temperature, pressure and composition. The composition of a process stream can be determined by e.g. gas chromatography and infrared/ultraviolet absorption. In some cases, satisfactory results can be obtained with an analysis every few hours while in others the process conditions can change quickly so that samples must be taken every few minutes.
There exist different kinds of process control:
The sample is transported to an external laboratory for analysis, e.g., HPLC.
The analytical equipment is situated in a laboratory in connection to the process. The sample is transported to the analytical instrument, e.g., a gas chromatograph, GC.
The sample cell is outside the process stream but in direct connection to the process, e.g. Infrared spectrometry IR.
Analytical instruments use zero gases, span gases and calibration gases to control chemical processes. Fuel gases are needed if flames are part of the system. Gas chromatography requires a carrier gas. All of these gases must be of a exceptional and controlled quality in order not to bias the analytical results.

You may have heard. Capcom's Bionic Commando revamp has tanked, and tanked in a big way, selling only 27,000 units during the month of May. Which begs the question: why?
After all, the same developers (Grin) released a Bionic Commando game last year that lacked the advertising, budget and horsepower of the "main" title, yet it still managed to sell over 130,000 copies during its first week on sale, despite being a port of a difficult, antiquated arcade/NES title.
So what gives? Why were there over 130,000 people willing to buy Bionic Commando Rearmed in a week, but in over a week on sale, the "real deal" couldn't even move 30,000?
Aside from the fact Rearmed was great, and that the 130k figure includes global sales, surely price plays a part. Rearmed was an Xbox Live Arcade title, while Bionic Commando launched as a full-price retail game. The game's long development period - which has led many to remark "oh, that wasn't already out?" - probably didn't help either.
But I lay the blame squarely at the feet of the game's demo, perhaps the worst of its kind I've ever seen. Here we had a game with a difficult, though not impossible control scheme. At press events, demos had been preceded by a helpful, effective tutorial, which let you come to grips with the game's swinging mechanic before hitting the streets.
But the demo was inexplicably multiplayer-only. With no tutorial. Gamers downloaded it, booted it up, then had no idea what the hell they were supposed to be doing. For a game most would only be picking up for its singleplayer experience, this was as big a marketing error as you could possibly hope for, as it generated a ton of negative buzz over the game, and these kind of titles live and die on the buzz generated by the hardcore.
Maybe Grin - and Capcom - would be in better shape if they'd just commissioned a sequel to Rearmed instead?

SQLSaturday #103 Curacao Recap – Planting Seeds
This past weekend, there were two SQLSaturday events: #108 in Redmond and #103 in Curacao. I heard all the "Oh sure, tough choice there" comments, but my plans early on were to be in attendance at the Curacao event.
The original vision for this new role as PASS Community Evangelist was to get to one first-time venue each month to talk to attendees who might not be familiar with PASS. In addition, my being onsite to assist with some logistics and last-minute details at these events helps out the first-time organizers as well. Plus, I can see what areas I need to make sure I'm mentoring on before event day.
This trip was only 3 hours from Miami. I was greeted at the airport by event leader and local PASS chapter leader Roy Ernest [blog|twitter]. Roy went out of his way to not only pick me up, but to also pick up each speaker who came from over from the US. None of us arrived at the same time, so it wasn't exactly convenient for someone already with so much stress of his approaching event. SQLSat #103 had three non- local speakers – Bill Pearson [blog|twitter], Rob Volk [blog|twitter], and Tim Radney [blog|twitter] – and two local presenters: Roy and one of his volunteers and co-worker Rohan Joackhim [twitter].
Friday evening's speaker appreciation dinner was at a great Indian restaurant – one of many in this renovated fort called Rif Fort. From the outside, it looked like a castle, but when you walked in, there were all kinds of restaurants on several levels, all with open seating. You could look out in one direction and see the beautiful crystal-clear, aqua-colored ocean and then look inward around the fort at all the entertainment, from drummers and bands to folks dancing in the open center area. It was really a unique setting; I would say the only downfall was that the band was so loud, it was hard to hear even someone sitting directly across from you.
The event had two tracks, DBA and BI, and was held at the University of the Netherlands Antilles, courtesy of the head instructor, Rinnus Felipa. It's always nice to meet those who help make a SQLSaturday happen, and kudos to universities such as this, which offer their venues for free to the IT community. It was obvious that the success of this day was important to Rinnus – he was onsite all day and meticulous about details that the university was responsible for, such as lunch. On the lunch menu was "Steak de Wea," a local combination of rice and steak covered in a savory sauce, with fresh green beans and salad. It was delicious, and I enjoy trying something local and new to my taste buds. SQLSat #103 didn't charge attendees for lunch, and the university kept the cost very reasonable (I believe each plate was around $7 per person).
The morning of the event, there were 95 registrants, including those who opted out the week prior. Actual attendance ended up being around 60 – so as typically seen at SQLSaturdays, about a 30%-35% drop-off. The event had only three sponsors: PASS, Redgate, and O'Reilly. But even with the little budget he had to work with, Roy managed to put on a great event for his community. As I talked with attendees during breaks and addressed the group as a whole at the end, many comments rang a common tune – they want to see another SQLSaturday… and most don't want to wait another year for it (hint, hint, Roy!). As always, I stressed to the attendees that they should work on becoming presenters themselves for the next SQLSaturday event, and they could start sharpening their SQL and presentation skills by speaking at their local user group.
This post would not be complete if I failed to mention another key Curacao volunteer: Surenda Djaoen [twitter], another of Roy's co-workers and someone he is mentoring to become the new leader of the Curacao SQL Server User Group. With Roy doing so much running around on Friday, and still prepping his own presentation for the big day, Surenda took on a lot of the last-minute details for the SQLSaturday. One of the highlights of the trip for me was getting time to talk with her about running a user group and some tips on growing the local speaker pool. It's always rewarding to see volunteers' eyes light up with excitement as their minds start racing with ideas. That's all it takes – just plant a few seeds, and watch them grow!
Some personal comments and tips on this trip. Nearly all the hotels are with an ocean view, most have casinos, it is also a port for cruises, so lots of great shopping, snorkeling (which Tim Radney and his son managed to get a couple of trips in while there), and all kinds of great cuisine to choose from. Like most islands, you just instantly feel relaxed, even with the feeling that there is a nonstop party going on all around you.
Admittedly there was one thing that kept me from completely relaxing and that was the interesting local wild life, a wide variety of lizards. Most know that Florida is covered with lizards, but these were no ordinary lizards folks, we're talking mega sized lizards, some with double tails (I kid you not, freaky looking!). The so called small lizards were about 7-8 inches in length, and just like lizards here in Florida, you'd walk down the side walk and they would scurry out of your way, however the lizards on my way to the cafeteria were closer to >12 inches in length and a bright green. I was jumping my way down that sidewalk, not walking. Then your next size up after that were the 18 inch and larger, these. Let me tell you, they don't have armadillos or possum as road kill, they have iguanas, and yes, I had the unpleasant chance of seeing one on the way to the hotel. But don't let the lizards and iguanas deter you from making a visit there, they are all harmless and either run or act like you aren't even there.
One interesting thing you must see when you go is the Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge. This bridge is supported by 16 floating pontoon boats, it separates the two halves of the city, and swings many times daily to allow ships and large barges access through the harbor. If this happens when you are ready to cross, a ferry free of charge will transport you to the other side. Here are some other great pics of this bridge: http://lazytoad.com/travel/cruise/curacao-Pages/Image6.html and http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g147278-d148574-r32109942-Queen_Emma_Pontoon_Bridge-Willemstad_Curacao.html .
A couple of benefits for US citizens visiting Curacao, you don't need a special converter for your electrical items, they take US dollars everywhere including the slot machines, and most everyone speaks very well English. It was like being home without all the "noise" that comes with day to day life. I'm already planning a mini-vacation in September for Rodney and me, as he didn't get to go this time, and it is indeed a great place to escape to for a little romance!
I'm sorry I missed it!

The incident unfolded in Rocklin — about 20 miles northwest of Sacramento — the night of Dec. 28, when the parents fell asleep about an hour after drinking milkshakes their 16-year-old daughter and her 15-year-old friend brought them from a fast food restaurant, Rocklin police Lt. Lon Milka said Thursday. The parents woke up in the middle of the night feeling "really groggy" with "hangover symptoms," Milka said, but had not been drinking.
When they woke up again the next morning, they still felt "really odd," Milka said, and "figured that something was wrong."
The couple went to the Rocklin police station and picked up $5 drug kits typically used by parents to drug test their children, Milka said. After the tests picked up traces of drugs, the parents contacted authorities and brought their daughter to the police station.
Investigators later learned the girls crushed prescription sleeping pills and put them in the milkshakes so the parents would fall asleep and they could use the Internet past the 10 p.m. curfew.
"Mom and Dad had the Internet cut off nightly at 10 p.m.," Milka said. "The daughter wanted to use it past 10 because I guess they're like most teenagers and the Internet is their life."
The parents didn't end up drinking all of the milkshakes because it was "kind of gritty" and "really funny tasting," Milka said.
The girls, whose names were not released because of their ages, were booked on Dec. 31 in Placer County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of conspiracy and willfully mingling a pharmaceutical into food. Milka said it would be up to prosecutors to decide whether charges would be filed.
Milka said it was unclear what websites the girls accessed while the parents were asleep.
"It's the first I've ever heard of it," he said. "Kids are crazy these days."

Bus Schedules
Find Your Bus Route and Schedule
Mesquite ISD provides bus transportation for students who live at least two miles from their school or for those students who must travel a hazardous route as determined by Texas Education Agency guidelines. To learn whether your address qualifies for bus transportation, click on the button below:
The results of your search will look similar to the example below. In this example, the school is listed first (Achziger Elementary), followed by the bus stop location (Ashford Trl and Westfield) and pick-up time (6:53 AM). Below the bus stop location, you will see the bus number before the name of the school it transports to. In this example, the bus number is 27.
Immediate Openings for Bus Drivers
Mesquite ISD is hiring bus drivers now. Flexible schedules, health benefits and a competitive bonus opportunity make this an attractive career or part-time employment option.
A commercial driver's license (CDL) is required to drive a school bus. No CDL? No worries. MISD will train you to obtain your CDL.
Guidelines for Mesquite ISD Bus Transportation
The full scope of transportation is much broader than what is contained in the information below. This information is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather an avenue to share important points with all parties associated with transporting students. Please feel free to contact theTransportation Department if you require other information or have concerns.
- Rider Eligibility
- Pick-Up Times
- Bus Safety & Rules
- Band Instruments, Equipment, Projects & Personal Belongings
Rider Eligibility
Transportation is available for students who live two miles or more from their assigned school. All students who are eligible to ride a bus will be assigned a bus route and stop based on the student's legal residence. Students are limited to riding only the school bus that serves their legal residence and will not be allowed to ride a different bus or get off the bus at a different stop than the one assigned.
Mesquite ISD has a mapping program that is used for transportation management and routing. This software also helps the district determine transportation eligibility as it is capable of accurately determining the home-to-school distance for each student in the district. Transportation services are not provided to students who choose to transfer from the assigned school.
Pick-Up Times
Students riding the bus should arrive at the bus stop 5-7 minutes before the scheduled bus stop time, allowing for slight variances in clocks.
In the mornings, the bus will not leave a stop before the scheduled time, but once it arrives at the stop, it will not wait beyond the scheduled stop time.
Students will be picked up and dropped off at regularly designated stops only. In the afternoons, buses will remain at the school 5 minutes after the bell for students to board, so students should proceed immediately to their scheduled bus.
Drivers are instructed not to stop or open the bus door for late students due to safety concerns.
Bus Safety & Rules
The Mesquite ISD Transportation Department requests parental cooperation in its efforts to carry out the intentions of the school bus safety guidelines and rules of behavior. The responsibility for student supervision by the school district shall begin when the student boards the bus in the morning and is retained until the child leaves the bus at the end of the day. Riding the school bus is a privilege, not a right, and the privilege may be revoked for safety and/or discipline reasons. Bus students are to remain on campus after being transported to school. Any student who leaves the grounds without authorization after arriving on campus may not return to campus to ride a bus home.
Parents are urged to discuss the rules with their children to ensure a safe and pleasant ride to and from school, as well as during extra-curricular trips:
- The bus driver has authority on the bus and over the students who are transported.
- The bus driver is very focused on road traffic, and it is essential that each student fully cooperates with the driver for the safety of all concerned.
- Cell phone use by students is prohibited on school buses.
- Students should remain well back from the roadway while awaiting the arrival of the bus.
- Students are asked not to enter a bus when a driver is not in the vehicle.
- Students should board a bus in an orderly fashion, go directly to a seat and remain seated until the destination is reached.
- The driver has the authority to assign seats on the bus.
- The same rules of conduct that apply in the classroom are in effect on buses and at bus stops.
- Students should keep hands, arms, head and other objects inside the bus at all times.
Band Instruments, Equipment, Projects & Personal Belongings
All personal belongings such as backpacks, athletic equipment, books, musical instruments and the like must be kept from the aisles. Skateboards, roller skates, roller blades or any vehicle of this type are strictly prohibited from the bus.
The transportation of students' equipment (class projects, books, band instruments, etc.) is provided on a space-available basis after all students have been seated. Such equipment may be transported if it is securely held by the student for the entire duration of the trip. Items too large to be held by the student may be transported if they do not interfere with the availability of seating for other students and do not interfere with the safety of students or bus operation.

McDaniel places 112 student-athletes on Dean's List, three on Green and Gold Honor Roll
WESTMINSTER, Md. – McDaniel College has announced its Dean's List from the Fall 2012 semester and 112 Green Terror student-athletes, including 39 first-semester students, qualified for the honors.
To qualify for the Dean's List, a student must achieve a grade-point average (GPA) of 3.50 for the semester. A GPA of 3.5-3.699 earns a student Honors according to the College. A GPA of 3.7-3.899 earns a student High Honors while a GPA of 3.9 or above qualifies for Highest Honors.
McDaniel also honors student-athletes through the establishment of the Green and Gold Honor Roll, which was introduced in 2011 through a joint initiative of the athletics department, including the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), and President's Office.
To be named to the Honor Roll, a student-athlete must be named to the Dean's List in the same semester in which he or she has also been named to an athletic honor of All-Centennial Conference (CC) or higher.
Three Green Terror student-athletes have earned the department's honor this past semester.
Freshman Brett Haas (Laurel, Md./Atholton), a kicker on the football team, earned honorable mention all-conference honors on the field. He earned Honors in the classroom. An undeclared major, he averaged 35.4 yards per punt – the best average by a rookie punter in program history – and was the only CC freshman to earn all-conference honors.
Senior Annie McShea (Frederick, Md./Gov. Thomas Johnson), a hitter on the volleyball team, earned second-team all-conference honors on the court. She earned Honors in the classroom. A psychology major, she led the team with 287 kills and was tied for the team lead with 36 aces.
Junior Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville), a running back on the football team, earned first-team all-conference honors on the field. He earned Honors in the classroom. An art major, he averaged 138.1 rushing yards per game to pace the CC. He had six 100-yard rushing games on the year and found the end zone eight times on the ground.

Thanks for making my trip out of the office a great use of my time. [Infographics for Proposals]
Your presentation on Infographics at today's CSMPS event was fabulous...it was very informative, reinforcing the value of visuals. [Infographics for Proposals]
Great presentation this morning. In architecture we are not allowed to draw or provide "free" architectural sketches in our RFP submissions, but you made me re-think how we can deliver information to our readers using pictograms.
CSMPS has helped me tremendously! Without CSMPS, I would not be where I am today. It is an amazing network.
Thank you for arranging this seminar. It was extremely practical, valuable and informative.
I thought the panel event was awesome. I attended the previous one as well and they are, in my eyes, the best type of event that CSMPS offers.
This is the first panel I've ever sat on where I've actually learned something new. It was a great experience. [Panelist, CSMPS Developer RFP Evaluators Panel Event: Oct 22, 2014]
I thought the event was fantastic. I can't believe the value and information I was able to extract from it. Can't wait for the next one!
It's always good to hear what people who read proposals are actually thinking! I went to the last event with RFP evaluators (it was a school district, health authority, and Translink) and found that very helpful as well.
It's one of the few organizations that really spends time getting into activities that are of interest to marketers in the AEC and professional marketing services world.
Every time I leave an event I get ideas of how I can do my job better. I get more passionate and inspired by what other people are doing in the industry.
CSMPS plays an important role for professional service marketers to grow and learn. Their relevant, fresh topics draw staff from across AEC firms.
CSMPS brings together real people talking about real issues; it's a breath of fresh air.
CSMPS has helped me tremendously! Without CSMPS, I would not be where I am today. It is an amazing network.
Belonging to CSMPS is a must if you want to connect with, and market to, the professional services community in Vancouver.

Multispectral subspace engine design was a course taught at Starfleet Academy.
In 2372, three officers of the USS Voyager, Ensign Harry Kim, along with Lieutenants Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres attempted to break the transwarp threshold by running simulations of a shuttlecraft in the ship's holodeck. Ultimately, the test failed when the nacelles were ripped off the shuttle when it accelerated to warp 10. While the three attempted to solve the problem in the mess hall, Neelix, Voyager's morale officer, attempted to help. Paris asked him if he knew anything about quantum warp theory or multispectral subspace engine design. Neelix, however, knew nothing about them. (VOY: "Threshold")
