After yesterday's surprisingly bad US existing home sales figures heightened fears of a global slowdown, news that orders for the country's manufactured goods were weaker than expected has sent new shudders through the markets.
US durable goods orders for July rose just 0.3% compared to expectations of a gain of around 2.8%. Rob Carnell of ING Bank said:
The latest durable goods orders data throw more doubt on the resilience of the US recovery, with the headline growth rate of only 0.3% helped by a whopping 75.9% gain in non-defence aircraft. Without this, and other transport items, new orders would have dropped by 3.8% mom.So Wall Street futures - initially predicting an opening rise for the US market - are now down 68 points for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The FTSE 100 is off 61.32 points at 5094.64, while the yield on UK 10 year gilts hit yet another new low at 2.79% as investors sought a safe haven from the storm.
Within the GDP breakdown, second quarter business investment grew at a 21.9% annualised rate following on from 20.5% in the first quarter. Expect a sharp curtailment of this growth in the third quarter, which will cost around 1 percentage point of GDP growth, and keep fears of double dip and more quantitative easing on investors minds – even lower bond yields beckon.
European shares were also lower, with the French and German markets both down around 1%. Nerves had been stretched earlier with news of the downgrading of Irish debt by Standard & Poor's, but these signs of more US weakness have added to the uncertainty. And later this afternoon come US new home sales, which could also have an impact.

myKnowledgeExplorer (mKE) is an intelligent knowledge base assistant. All communication is in a user-friendly, English-like language called mKR. mKR is designed to help human beings work more intelligently. mKE command line options include language definitions for RDF, OWL, CYC, and SUMO. mKR scripts may include embedded calls to the Unix shell. mKR gives special emphasis to context hierarchies, genus-differentia definitions, n-ary relations, questions, and action/methods.
Thinknowlogy is grammar-based software, designed to utilize the Natural Laws of Intelligence in grammar, in order to create intelligence through natural language in software. This is demonstrated by programming in natural language, reasoning in natural language and drawing conclusions (more detailed than scientific solutions), making assumptions (with self-adjusting level of uncertainty), asking questions (about gaps in the knowledge), and detecting conflicts in the knowledge. It builds semantics autonomously (with no vocabularies or words lists), detecting some cases of semantic ambiguity. It is multi-grammar, proving that Natural Laws of Intelligence are universal.

Food experts intrigue Wolfsie's taste buds
Byline info is not available
Thursday, October 31, 2013 10:00 PM
Dick Wolfsie is an author, a speaker and appears on television in the Indianapolis market. His column appears on Fridays in The Paper of Montgomery County.You can contact him at email@example.com.
Like most guys, when I walk past the magazine rack at the bookstore, I start to drool. Just yesterday I saw one cover that made me glad I am a healthy, normal male. There she was: perfectly proportioned, with golden skin and a great pair of legs. It was the best looking turkey I had ever seen. Obviously, there are some other attributes of the bird I could have alluded to, but I'm trying to keep this column classy.
At the time, I was looking at Food Network Magazine, the Thanksgiving edition-the perfect holiday purchase for those who don't have a turkey of their own yet, but who want to live vicariously through others who have enjoyed tremendous success in the kitchen.
The magazine is 218 pages of recipes and cooking tips, including a handful of ads for anti-depressant drugs, which kind of captures the holiday spirit we all feel. One of the articles about preparing leftovers includes a beautiful shot of a bowl of turkey soup. I'm bettin' except for one poultry little difference it's the same recipe as the chicken soup the month before. The editor says this is her favorite leftover, but turkey soup is not a leftover. If her first course this Thanksgiving is really turkey soup, she should not be editor of this Food Network Magazine.
Food scientists did extensive research to answer such burning questions as: how many dishes does the average host or hostess serve with the turkey? (answer: seven); do people favor pumpkin, apple, or pecan pie? (pumpkin); white wine or red? (a tie); and finally, how long is it after the meal before everyone is talking to each other again? (about two weeks). Another interesting statistic is that the average American gets up at 9 a.m. to begin the preparation for the day. This is certainly true of my wife, Mary Ellen, because if is she is not done with her makeup by 10, we can't make the early buffet at Embassy Suites with our friends, the Haversticks.
Here's a fascinating find: 72 percent of the country prefers lump-free mashed potatoes. But only 12 percent have ever had any. And did you know that 51 percent of T-Day diners opt for whole berry cranberry sauce and 49 percent want jellied? There was talk of a recount (especially in the Red states), but it's really academic because 75 percent of families completely forget the stuff is in the fridge until after dessert.
Celebrity cooks offer 50 tips for preparing the annual feast. Iron Chef Judy Joo suggests passing around a small blow torch for each person's individual pumpkin crème brulees. What fun! And with all the little kids around the table, what could possibly go wrong? John Shook, the chef at a favorite Los Angeles café, advises amateur cooks to always serve some old favorites for side dishes, just in case you "screw up the turkey." Confidence! Isn't that what cooking is all about?
My favorite tip is from Seamus Mullen, a gourmand from one of New York's finest eateries. Seamus says to throw the leftover meat from the usually less popular legs and wings (along with some oyster stuffing) into the food processor before you go to bed that Thursday night. I ask you: Is there a better way to begin shopping on Black Friday than with a nice dark-meat turkey smoothie?

The Beyma coaxes seem to be very good as well.
Beyma 15XA38ND - Audio Voice Acoustics
As I said, the Beymas keeps sounding like a dream to my taste.They are, by far, simply the best home speaker systems I have heard. Ever. Regardless of price, size or type .I have not yet finished the big boxes I have planned for them. That have to wait for warmer weather since I have to do the carpentry work on my patio and it's still freezing winter here. But even in small temporary 100 liter sealed boxes they sound fantastic, albeit helped a little with a Behringer active sub. I'll make the bigger 400 liter boxes sealed as well. I prefer that to ported ones. I like that tight, precise bass better than the ´loose´ bass from ported boxed. Just a matter of taste, I guess. Anyway, I hope I can ditch the subwoofer when finishing the larger boxes.
I have regularly been comparing the Beymas to some well reputed vintage, newly reconed 15" Tannoy coax units that a friend of mine owns. Those Tannoys got me hooked on big coax speakers. But compared to the Beymas they lose big time on all parameters. With the Tannoys, you hear the speakers playing musik. And they do play really great. But you still hear the speakers. With the Beymas, you only hear the music. No colorations or limitations. They are no less than flawless IMO. The only 'unnatural' thing about them is the fact that they can, in fact, play acoustic piano music louder than an actual piano. They can even play a snare drum louder than the real thing, with no audible loss of dynamic whack. **** High Fidelity - this is Real ******* Dynamic Fidelity!

That said, I don't want it to be trash ... been down that road already, no need to go there again. The existing Dynaudio CSX is a pretty decent center speaker, but the side-by-side MTM driver layout impairs dialog clarity.
Thus, coax, which sounds pretty much the same wherever you sit, and has way more dynamic range than 4" to 6" fullrange drivers. Not a fan of whizzer cones, no matter whether it is Zu (Eminence), Lowther, AER, or Feastrex.
The gotcha with coax is getting reasonably smooth response from the bass driver ... if the response isn't smooth, not interested. Also not interested in vintage or unobtanium drivers. There are great unobtanium drivers out there, particularly some of the old-school fullrangers or coaxes, but I don't want to design a modern crossover for a rare driver that commands a high price on the used market.
I am just barely well-known enough in audio circles that a modern, LTO-designed crossover would have a material impact on the collector market, driving up prices and increasing scarcity. I was told by Madisound that the demand for the Vifa 5.5" midbass used in the Ariel actually kept the driver in production for a number of years. Don't know if that's true or not, although it's kind of flattering, but then again, I've never received a dime's worth of royalties from the Ariel project, so I have no way of verifying the story.
This is the real reason I avoid vintage drivers, unless I can sweet-talk a manufacturer into making new versions. Back when I was writing for Ed Dell's Glass Audio magazine, I was able to persuade JJ into manufacturing a new version of the 7119, which became the JJ ECC99, and has become a fairly successful seller for JJ Electronics. Likewise for the AH425 Azurahorn and Acoustic Elegance LO15 driver.

Just received a detailed and helpful letter from one of the coax-experienced posters here: the essence is to keep it small, like 10 inches, for best intelligibility over a broad area, along with a favorable comment about the Tannoy DC12i, designed for in-wall soffit mounting. The box of the DC12i is big enough that it's obviously intended for high-end projection setups, not plasma screens.
Will look again at the smaller Radian 5210, with a crossover in the 1.5 to 2 kHz region, priced at $279 at US Speakers. Intelligibility combined with peak-free response (which immediately disqualifies whizzer-cone drivers) are the design goals; musicality would be a nice plus, but I think smooth response, a good crossover, and a low-diffraction box (large-radius corners) should take care of that.

Just a little "picture" showing the size of such Coax drivers - I cross mine at approx 1.3khz if my memory serves me right.. About 950hz is recommended. Tried and didn't like it..
Here is my 15" next to a SS revelator 18w8531
My old Oris Reference Ultra with AER md3 fullrange drivers and 15" Neodym BD woofer in the background..
The coaxes are better in every single way I must admit, but not so sensitive.

Here's the published frequency responses of the Beyma 15XA38Nd (left), along with the Tannoy DC12i (middle). Both are a lot rougher than I'm used to working with, which leaves me curious what the unsmoothed response of the Radian 5210 (right) looks like.

I was looking at at coaxoals and noticed hoe many times the compression driver shows a pretty large rise in 3rd harmonic distortion in the higher frequencies. Is this due to the fact that the moving woofer cone is acting as its horn. The individual compression driver specs do not show this rise on standard horns.
Here is a Tannoy recommended to me. I believe they are tthe same but cannot promise it.
...Shape the sound , Man!

The guys at No Frills Audio use modified Beyma coax drivers

They have replaced the HF membrane and added damping both on LF membrane and other components. They really like the Beyma drivers

The possibly more audible problem is the unavoidable diffraction at at least 3 places:
where horn meets cone (even without woofer in motion), typically followed by a ring of glue and dustcap, and ending with the lousy woofer-as-waveguide edge termination.
Although always a good idea, nicely radiused cabinet edges might be like lipstick on a pig by this point.
I suppose the woofer-waveguide termination could be mitigated somewhat by covering the edge (including the surround) and front panel with dense foam.

I think the wind will help us though. The more this game turns into a ground battle, the more our o-line gets to push UConn all over the field. I think we've got a better chance at forcing 3-and-outs if UConn is forced to run rather than pass as well.

Academic journal article Defense Counsel Journal
Importance of Rule of Law to Civil Society
Article excerpt
On May 1, 2010, the Joint Afghan-NATO training mission in Afghanistan celebrated for the first time "Afghanistan Law Day," reinforcing the United States' most recent refrain to Afghani President Hamid Karzai, "without respect for the rule of law, there can be no civil society." First established in 1958 by President Eisenhower, Law Day celebrates and rededicates the commitment of the United States and its allies to upholding the rule of law as a means to promoting a more stable society in which economic expansion will flourish.
The example of Afghanistan proves instructive of the ways that respect for the rule of law promotes civil society. We frequently hear news stories of cronyism and nepotism in the government hiring process, of misallocation of tax collections or international development funds, or of the need to bribe officials in order to conduct business in Afghanistan. Corruption of that sort does not merely impoverish the people of Afghanistan while enriching a politically favored few. A culture that allows this kind of corruption to go unpunished, or is institutionally too weak to prevent effectively that type of conduct, undermines the belief of ordinary people in their ability to be treated fairly under the law, engendering distrust for government and unwillingness to make the sort of investment necessary to foster economic progress.
In the United States, by contrast, we pride ourselves on the respect that Americans have for the "rule of law." In comparison to the nascent Afghan state, the United States has strong judicial institutions. Our courts have been granted strong institutional powers to address the risk that public officials in the executive or legislative branch will abuse their authority. While such abuses may never be fully eliminated, our legal system has the means and the authority to enforce its laws, and each of us, as officers of the court, have been assigned additional duties to maintain the integrity of this system.
In addition to legal professionals working to uphold the rule of law, the American legal system involves ordinary citizens in the day-to-day operation of legal system and reposes in them the ultimate determination of the facts of those matters tried to a conclusion. …

Fon Williams Back In U-21 Squad
Goalkeeper Owain fon Williams has been recalled to the Wales U-21 squad for a U-21 Euro 2008 qualifier next month.
Williams has established himself as the number one keeper at U-21 level, although was subbed at half time in last week's 3-1 defeat to Sweden.
Wales U-21s will place France in Grenoble on 7th September in a Euro 2008 U-21's qualifier. It means Williams will be unavailable for selection for the visit on Huddersfield Town on September 8th.
Meanwhile, former Alex winger David Vaughan has been left out of the full Wales squad to play Germany and Slovakia next month.
Wales U21 squad:
R Taylor (Chelsea), O Fon Williams (Crewe), Eardley (Oldham), Gunter (Cardiff), Jacobson (Bristol R), N.Taylor (Wrexham), Mike Williams (Wrexham), R.Williams (Middlesbrough), Allen (Swansea), Blake (Cardiff), D Edwards (Luton), James (Southampton), MacDonald (Swansea), Ramsey (Cardiff), Church (Reading), Cotterill (Wigan), C Evans (Man City), Vokes (Bournemouth).

A very nice review of the Audi Q7.
As we've come to expect from Audi, it is jam-packed with gadgets and technology including height-adjustable air suspension to give it the clearance to tackle boulder-strewn conditions without scraping its underside or the driver breaking a nail. Big, comfortable, safe, practical, handsome and powerful (the Q7, that is, because if it was a bloke, I'd marry it!) it also offers seven seats although five and six seat models are optional.
As with all Audis the Q7's interior is high-quality in both construction and materials. If you have driven in an A8 or A6 the dash layout is similar, and Audi's Multi-Media Interface (MMI) is standard, and, I feel, continues to be the most intuitive on the market. The Q7 has three rows of seating and accommodates six or seven passengers, depending on what is specified for the second row. As with many vehicles of this type, the third-row seat is cramped and useful for children only. With the second and third rows folded flat, the Q7 can hold a massive 2,035 litres of cargo space, which is more than what's available from most five-passenger SUVs and competitive with other large luxury SUVs.

It appears former featherweight contender Josh Grispi will look to get back on the winning track in early summer as part of the line-up set for action at the Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale. Grispi, who was set for a showdown with 145-pound champion Jose Aldo at UFC 125, ultimately fell in one-sided fashion to Dustin Poirier on the card after an injury forced the Brazilian phenom to withdraw from the event.
According to a report by the Boston Herald, and since confirmed by a number of other media outlets, an agreement is in place for Grispi to fight George Roop on June 4 at the standard, season-ending Ultimate Fighter event.
Roop is coming off a TKO loss to Mark Hominick last month at Fight Night 23 who coincidentally earned the title-shot Grispi lost with the performance. He is 11-7-1 in his career with a notable draw against Leonard Garcia at WEC 47 and a highly-memorable kick-based knockout of Chan Sung Jung six months later at WEC 51.
The 22-year old Grispi holds a record of 14-2 and has finished thirteen of the opponents he's beaten. Prior to his loss at UFC 125 he had been riding a ten-fight win streak including victories over Hominick, Jens Pulver, and L.C. Davis.
The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale is scheduled to take place at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas and, in addition to Grispi vs. Roop, is set to feature a clash between top lightweight contenders Clay Guida and Anthony Pettis as well as the crowning of TUF 13's champion.

The UK has blocked all accounts Russia Today
Chief editor of TV channel Russia Today Margarita Simonyan said in his Twitter that all accounts of the TV channel in the UK was blocked. The decision on closing of accounts is not subject to revision. Earlier Britain began checking Russian TV channel, on the biased stories which complained of the viewers.

On Twitter the editor-in-chief of TV channel Russia Today Margarita Simonyan reported that the Russian media in the UK have closed all the accounts. This decision, according to Simonyan, is not subject to revision. "Long live freedom of expression!" – sarcastically remarked Simonyan.
We closed the account in Britain. All of the accounts. 'The decision is not subject to revision'. Long live freedom of speech!
— Margarita Simonyan (@M_Simonyan) on 17 October 2016
At the same time, The Times said a month ago that the British media regulator Ofcom began a review of the Russian TV channel Russia Today.
The reason for the test was the story of a British energy company Cuadrilla involved in the technology of shale gas production. At RT there was a story that this campaign dumped off the African coast toxic waste. However, the company accused the journalists of lying.
While the British media regulator had previously tested RT because of complaints from British viewers. According to the laws of great Britain, viewers can complain to the TV company, if it decides that it distributes biased information. In 2015, these complaints concerned stories about the situation in Ukraine. It was also reported about the violations that Ofcom has recorded at RT in 2014.

PHILIP YANCEY SPEAKS OF GRACE as a vast aquifer underlying the
whole of Western civilization. It is grace that reminds us that
every blessing comes from the hand of God "free of charge to people
who do not deserve it." Grace is, he says, "the last
best word" because in more than 20 English usages, it always retains some of
the glory of the original.
But for Yancey, the word is perhaps most important
not because of what it means as much as what it did in his life. Grace changed
him from an angry, hardened, even bitter person, into a passionate piper who,
through his writings, "pipes the tune
of grace" into appreciative readers the world over.
In an interview with Response,
Yancey talked more about his own journey to grace and the important role that
a Christian university such as Seattle Pacific, which strives to be grace-filled,
plays in the lives of its students:
Q. In print, you sound restless and not easily satisfied. Are
A. Writers are strange animals. We leach life off others rather
than have
lives of our own.
We're always
looking at the world, not living in it.
I'm searching myself, and writing fits my personality. I hope I always struggle,
always examine. I hope I never "arrive." But I am more settled about my faith
today than I was 10 to 15 years ago.
Q. Is your most recent book, Soul Survivor, in some
way a culmination
of everything
you've written before?
A. Soul Survivor is personally revealing of my own search.
Many of those who have read it are in the borderlands of belief. They have grown
up in the church and have been wounded and misused by the church. Suspicious
of classical Christianity, they are coming toward faith in other ways. These
are probably not the same readers that (Max) Lucado and (Charles) Swindoll hear
from, the people who are more
settled in their faith.
Q. Do you correspond with your
A. I respond to all my mail. It's a burden and consequently
my least favorite task. But Disappointment With God came out of that correspondence.
Readers spark questions
in my own life,
and it's about those that I write.
Q. Do you intend to be a burr under the saddle
of the church?
A. I'm not the radical; Jesus is the
radical. (He laughs.) These aren't my ideas. Pick your quarrel with Jesus!
Q. What
do you see as the role of the Christian university in the life of its students?
A. Not until university do kids see themselves as individual moral beings. Until
then, it's do what your parents say, do what the church says. Christian universities
such as SPU provide the environment for personal decision-making to happen in
a healthy and constructive way. They provide kids with a faith perspective in
a variety of fields, be it science or psychology.
But the Christian university
needs to make room for the doubters, the deviants, who in a sociological sense
those who deviate from an imposed norm. God has a soft spot for the rebel.
I still have a lingering resentment that
my Christian college practiced a kind of
mind control. If you didn't think like they did, you were made to feel like someone
with leprosy. Crazy rules like hair length were justified with contorted scriptural
reasoning. When a student finds out that the scriptural justification is untrue,
it's easy for him to throw his faith out along with the cultural trappings.
Q. How
can SPU students find balance between the desire to make a living and the desire
to be Christian servants
who "give away their lives"?
A. There is a tension there. I make a living off what
I do. I live in a comfortable place in Colorado with soft music in the background,
not in the Sudan helping the starving. But I know that the most fulfilled people
give up the good life in order to find the Good Life. I keep sounding that note
because our culture barrages us with images of financial security, comfort and
luxury as the symbols of success. My role is to further the work of people like
Millard Fuller and Habitat for Humanity, or the medical work of Dr. Paul Brand,
to give them money to do their work and to write about them. The culture of success
won't honor them.

Re: The £125k electric Range Rover
The headline says 250 jobs being created, but the article indicates nothing to suggest more than a handful of people working on maybe a handful of cars. How exactly are 250 jobs being created? And who is investing the £30million?
I am a huge fan of electric vehicles - I believe half the population will be driving them within 5-7 years. But for Liberty themselves to talk of producing tens of thousands of cars does sound rather far-fetched.

The Automotive Future
Written by Adam Salk, Practice Manager in Jobspring Boston.
It's in your pocket, it's on your television and computer, and now for the first time it's coming to your car. That's right; I'm talking about everybody's favorite mobile operating system, iOS. Finally, after a late 2014 announcement, automobiles are rolling off factory floors with Apple CarPlay ready to marry Siri and all her hands free capabilities with your car.
Instead of dangerously fumbling with your iPhone to switch Pandora to the perfect Summer Hits of the '90's song you will now be able to turn a knob or tap a huge screen built into your dashboard. If you want to call mom, just tell Siri and keep your eyes on the road. And for those directionally challenged you can finally have the latest GPS systems integrated into your car's dash.
Find a new tech role in Boston today.
Name brand automakers are building iOS into their entertainment systems including Ford, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes and even Ferrari. And for those who don't have the extra dough or a need for new wheels there are plenty of aftermarket options to install in place of your current stereo without looking like you just rolled out of Pimp My Ride.
For those anti-apple fans out there worried about another missed out opportunity, fear not; Android has introduced a competing offer simply known as Android Auto. This will bring all the same features but in its familiar android operating system. The setup will make it easier than ever to get this operating system integrated into your daily commute—simply plug in your phone and then push information to the large display in your car.
While everyone has their own opinion on which operating system they prefer—both have the same mission with their automotive advancements; to offer the technology you want while keeping your eyes on the road. No matter which option you choose it's a fair bet that the automotive future is directly tied to technology.
DevOps: Fad or Future?
Article written by Shane Tomlinson, Practice Manager of Jobspring Boston
I would consider DevOps an umbrella term for many different types of positions. When someone is taking a DevOps job, they really need to look at the responsibilities they will have, and what the business needs are going to be. DevOps came around when cloud computing came into existence and companies realized they no longer needed a physical infrastructure. This created a butterfly effect, where startups saw this as an opportunity to hire additional developers to create their product, but also gave them the workload of maintaining their infrastructure while cutting costs. Since then, DevOps has evolved. My definition of DevOps would be someone that can really bridge the gap between development and operations. This would be someone that is a Senior Operations Engineer that also has an understanding of software development. With that role come the responsibilities of configuration management, cloud computing, and the ability to really make deployments seamless. Ideally, most companies are looking for someone that has specific experience doing repeatable builds through agnostic environments and deploying the same code/app on multiple environments such as physical and other cloud providers.
In the beginning, a technical department was very black and white. You could really look at it as employees either being on the operations/IT side, or the development side. The DevOps roles are very much in the grey area and straddle the line between both. When hiring someone in DevOps, it really starts with the company defining their needs and then customizing the position for the skillset of a candidate. Companies can't expect to hire someone that is going to be at the senior level in all aspects of a tech department, but they can look for someone that is more of a generalist to help out with operations, programming, QA, and pushing out releases. This can be a double-edged sword though, as some candidates might only have an interest in, or experience with, certain pieces of that equation and can easily be misled by a job description or during an interview.
I believe this type of skill set is really going to be the future, and companies are going to continue to look for it. This skillset gives companies the ability to automate an infrastructure which will then drastically cut down on costs in the tech department. Automation can really help to make things easier by not only cutting down time, but also by making things more predictable which enables teams to be more proactive rather than reactive. Also, cloud computing can really cut down the cost, giving companies huge advantages, specifically in scalability. Instead of having to buy physical servers, it gives you the ability to not only scale up, but just as important, the ability to scale down. Cloud computing also saves costs by just reducing space needed to store servers and everything needed to maintain those servers.
In my opinion, the concept of DevOps is definitely the future. Maybe not from a skill set perspective, but from the perspective that companies are starting to become much more tech agnostic and are breaking the barriers between "department responsibilities". This is especially helpful for continuous deployments and continuous integration for faster and more stable releases, and made possible by more and more companies moving to an agile environment.
Make the Most out of Your Networking Opportunities
Written by Sally Leung, Recruiter at Jobspring Boston
We've all heard the saying, "It's not what you know, but who you know", but how true is that really?
According to a recent survey done by the Department of Labor, networking accounts for at least 69% of all hires. Networking is critical for the success of countless careers. In our high tech world, our main forms of communication are email, text or phone calls. We are losing that face-to-face interaction. Routinely attending networking events will get you face time with others in your industry, with the potential for building stronger relationships and moving your career forward.
Since networking is so important, you want to use your time wisely and make the best-possible impressions. Here are some helpful tips when going to a networking event:
Go with a purpose
You are already busy, so don't waste time-- make the most out of it! Set a goal for yourself to meet at least three new people.
The Lone Ranger approach
Personally, I often attend networking events by myself or with one other person. When you go to an event with a group of friends, you will tend to stick with each other and you'll be less likely to talk to new people.
Scan the scenery
This goes back to purpose. Make sure you are using your time effectively. I like to look at the scene and approach individuals standing alone or in small groups. They'll be the most likely to be open to new participants. It's much easier to break into a conversation that way.
Make a good first impression
You can't dismiss the power of a good handshake. You'd certainly don't want to have a death grip, but you also don't want to be remembered as the person with the dead fish grasp.
Be someone you'd want to talk to
Ask open-ended questions that will keep the conversation flowing, make direct eye contact, and give the person you're speaking with your full attention.
Be positive
As my colleague, DJ, likes to say, always be positive. You might go to a networking event and may not make any immediate contacts that could translate to anything right away, but the connections you make have a very real chance of coming back to you in the future (whether it's a few weeks or months down the road), or that person might introduce you to someone who IS the right person to talk to.
Offer to help
…and don't expect anything in return. This goes back to the previous point. Offer to help where you can. Most people appreciate a favor and want to reciprocate.
Keep those connections!
Bring business cards. Keep YOUR business cards in your left pocket and the incoming cards from others in your right pocket. That way, you wouldn't get them mixed up. Make it a point to get their contact info, especially if it's a great contact. Sometimes people will run out of business cards, so in that case, just grab their email or number and follow-up with them the next day. And remember to add them on LinkedIn- it's a totally expected and professional habit these days.
With these helpful tips, you will be sure to make a statement at your next networking event!
The Issue with COBOL
Article by Casey Popkins and Matt Sottile, recruiters in Jobspring Boston
In the world of startups and software engineering, there are a slew of programing languages to choose from for cool, new software. How many IT pros are choosing COBOL? Better yet, how many of them have ever even seen COBOL?
COBOL, which was developed in 1959, is an acronym for Common Business-Oriented Language, defining its primary domain in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. This language is still responsible for more than 70 percent of the world's business transactions, according to a report in FCW, despite the growing prevalence of modern programming languages such as C++, .NET and Java. If the rest of the world is adopting newer languages, why is COBOL still hanging around?
With new and more exciting ways to control and understand finances, one would assume that the language would evolve just as greatly as the technologies that are being used today. There is of course the concern of safety-- despite the defects that occur in the older code, it actually performs faster and is more secure compared to the other modern languages, such as Java. The growing concern however, is that the language is just not as popular, and as a result, only 20% of schools are requiring this language for their degree. While one would assume that with lack of developers for the code, there would eventually be a necessity to evolve with those who are in the field, instead, there is a concern for how these companies will be run without having the knowledge of this seemingly "uncool" language.
In our opinion, the biggest issue with COBOL is that the newest generation of software engineers are taught to be sponges and pushed to learn as much new technology as possible. It is less about what one person can do with one language and more about knowing as many languages as possible to figure out which will be best in a given situation. Languages are built upon languages and grouped into libraries or frameworks, so that engineers can quickly utilize a function without having to rewrite multiple lines of code. COBOL is not a language that is conducive to such functionality, compared to something like JavaScript.
The shortage of developers without the knowledge of this code could affect many companies, the US government being one of the biggest examples. The coming shortage of COBOL programmers will affect the government's legacy IT systems and core databases, which suck up approximately 70 percent of the government's $82 billion IT budget, leaving only 30 percent to spend on innovative technologies.
So what does the future hold for COBOL? Well, at the moment, it could be sticking around for some time. As agencies begin to try to modernize their IT systems, the decision to keep or repurpose the code can be a difficult one to make. The longer organizations continue to use COBOL it becomes harder and more costly to switch to a modern language.
There could possibly be incentives given to colleges to reintroduce more COBOL training to their students in order to prepare the workforce that we'll need. COBOL is like Latin, it provides the building blocks for the "newer" romance languages, and we know there are better ways to communicate. What COBOL-reliant companies will do to continue to find solid engineers remains a mystery. One thing this does accomplish is ensure that anyone using COBOL will more than likely have a job in that "niche" market for years to come.
The question that remains about this code and other older codes, is at what point does a system become outdated? Is it possible to create something that is timeless, or is it better to keep changing along with the newer, more innovative technologies that are being created every day?
So You Want to Mine Bitcoin
Article by Matt Sottile, Recruiter in Jobspring Boston
Bitcoin has been all over the news recently with its fluctuating value, increased acceptance by online marketplaces, and moneymaking opportunities. This cryptocurrency became popular in the underground online market because it cannot be duplicated and can be exchanged between parties safely and anonymously without the use of a third party like Paypal. The Bitcoin network is a public ledger that includes the history of every Bitcoin transaction, adding new ones to the end of what is called the "block chain". The block chain is maintained and supported by the power of a globally distributed computing network made up of all Bitcoin participants. Transactions are added through hashes within nodes and verified to be legitimate by hashing pre-existing nodes. This action is called a "proof-of-work", and once enough transactions have been proofed, they are grouped together and added to the chain, completing a block. As blocks are completed, new ones are discovered, rewarding the finder(s) with newly minted Bitcoin in return for the use of their computing power. Unlike Paypal, who charges a fee for its verification and transactional services, the Bitcoin network incentives its members, as they are required for it to opperate. It is important to note that Bitcoin itself is backed only by supply and demand and that there is a finite amount of Bitcoin that can eventually be minted. The rest of this article will be about how ANYONE can get started mining for free, so if you are interested in learning more about the system, check out Bitcoin.org and the original spec document by the creator.
A Bitcoin "miner" is simply a device connected to the Bitcoin network that is contributing computing power. To access the network, simply click this LINK and download the client for your appropriate operating system. Make sure you have enough memory (12-14K MB) and time (~24 hours based on your bandwidth) because the client will download the entire history of the block chain to your computer. Once you are caught up to the end of the chain, the client will let you set up a new "wallet". Your wallet is an encrypted account within the network obtainable and recognized by a character address. For example, mine is: 1B2tNjrB78siE6D9kVi6zhguStiFrrcodR (feel free to send me Bitcoin!). To receive/send Bitcoin, a user simply exchanges this number with another user, setting up a transaction allowing for anonymity with one another if they choose. All of this is done within the client, which is simple and easy to use. From the client, you can view your current balance, transaction history, and even save addresses of other users' accounts for reference.
Once your wallet is created and you have your address number, it is time to contribute to the network! This is done through a separate minting application linked to your wallet. Bitcoin itself is open-source, so developers have written their own applications for computing additions to the block chain. (Personally I use the application BitMinter for Mac which I will explain in the next paragraph). Mining is based entirely on computing power. The more power a miner has, the quicker it can complete blocks and be rewarded with Bitcoin. As an individual miner accessing the network through your PC or laptop for the first time, computing power is delivered by your graphics card. To increase power, you can purchase an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) designed for Bitcoin mining or build your own. These devices are pieces of hardware sold in a variety of shapes and sizes advertised by a numerical representation of how quickly they can process hashes and validate transactions. Price correlates to speed, but other factors to consider are the electricity needed to run the device, cooling, and noise.
Unless you have a massive Bitcoin mining hardware farm already put together, chances are you won't find any Bitcoin by letting your mining application run solo. You are competing with all other participants, so a good way to increase your chances is by joining a mining pool. Here, a group of participants link up to combine computing power into one focal point. When a block is discovered, the rewarded Bitcoin is divided up by the amount of computing power each member individually generated. Members are typically rallied around one central mining application developed by the creator(s) of the pool who sometimes take a small cut of the rewarded Bitcoin for putting everything together. The application I mentioned above, BitMinter, is part of a pool and I'd definitely suggest it to anyone curious about getting started mining for free. The website and associated client are very informative and kept up-to-date with real time data on the amount of power being generated by all members, the time and difficulty of the last block discovered, the percentages paid out, and historical information of the pool.
Now that you know the basics of Bitcoin, how to access the ledger, and contribute to the block chain, it's up to you to determine your method moving forward. This is a way to get started for free, but it takes money to make more money through the purchase of hardware or buying space in cloud-based Bitcoin mining operations. Also, stay current with news on Bitcoin. Each day, new companies form around mining, opinions are shared on the future of Bitcoin, and innovators discover a new way to use this awesome currency.
Jobspring Volunteers with Cradles to Crayons
Jobspring Boston recently visited Cradles to Crayons, an organization helping provide low-income children from birth to age 12 with essential items they need at home and at school. Cradles to Crayons has helped provide packages of clothes, shoes, books, toys, baby safety equipment, and school supplies to 87,000 children in the Massachusetts and Philadelphia area.
While at the Cradles to Crayons warehouse, our group assigned the task of sorting clothing. We had the important undertaking of making sure all the clothing going to families was in the best condition, and in the right sizes. With our watchful eyes, the clothing we sorted was then taken to the next station where other volunteers put together a week's worth of clothing for children in need.
By the end of our shift, we were able to help create 75 individual care packages. All of Jobspring's participants were delighted to take some time out of their Tuesday evening in order to help an organization that helps better the Boston community.
Thanks for letting us help out, Cradles to Crayons! We'll be back soon!
Technology is Changing Sports
Article by Matt Sottile, Recruiter in Jobspring Boston
Regardless of what sports you follow, odds are you're using your smartphone or tablet to track scores, stats, news, or your fantasy teams. With the football season in full swing, many people spend their Sundays watching the games and taking in all that there is about football. It's no surprise tech becomes an important factor while watching games. From checking your fantasy player real-time stats, posting a status about an incredible upset on Facebook, or live tweeting about your favorite team, it seems like technology has helped create a new way to experience the game. And in this age, sports apps can do a lot more to help fans, from watching live video streams to managing their fantasy teams. There even is an emergence of mobile apps that focus on the social aspect of sports. Fancred, a Boston based mobile app, allows fans to create forums around their favorite teams and allows those who are far away from the stadium to still feel connected to the team. Spogo, another Boston-based app, changes how people watch games with each other at the bar, allowing people to compete for prizes and cash while watching games with friends.
For those who prefer to watch games on a slightly bigger screen, the way that games are presented on television has even evolved! One of those ways is through the NFL Red Zone, which is produced by NFL Network. The basic idea is that the channel follows every NFL game on Sunday afternoons, delivering the touchdowns and most exciting moments as they happen, all in high definition. When a team goes inside the 20-yard line, NFL RedZone takes fans there. The channel's focus is to keeps fans up-to-date in real time, switching from game to game with live look-ins, highlights, and a chance to see the key plays. While this innovation came around in 2009, the idea of having information delivered in real-time is still relevant to today's sport watchers. With the ability to access information instantly through our smartphones and tablets, it only makes sense that the way games are shown is instant too. It is pretty exciting to watch your favorite team on one screen and quickly glance over to watch your fantasy running back score a touchdown on Red Zone.
The question, however, is with all these new ways of watching the games, do we still get the same satisfaction and enjoyment as if we were at the stadium watching the game live? Better yet, does this new way of receiving information about football make watching a full game more exciting? Of course this all depends on what kind of fan you are. For some, there is nothing that can truly beat the roar of a full football stadium on a Monday night. While it doesn't seem like the pastime of watching games with friends and family is going to end anytime soon, it is an interesting concept to think about how technology truly has changed how we watch and enjoy games, and how much we rely on it to get the most out of our game day experience.
Want to Work from Home? Apple says "no problem!"
Q&A with Ashley Verrill, Software Advice
Every week our office conducts Market Knowledge Monday, as a fun way to stay up-to-date on industry news and educate blog readers on what's going on in the tech markets of some the Jobspring office cities. During a recent Market Knowledge Monday, Shane Tomlinson filled us in on a TechCrunch article, which discussed how Apple trains their At-Home Advisors, a group of customer service representatives who work remotely. We wanted to learn more about the tools and training methods Apple employs for their remote teams, so we followed up with the article's author, Software Advice CRM Analyst Ashley Verrill, to find out how other technology companies might leverage Apple's tactics.
Jobspring Partners: In your article you discuss the "At-Home Advisors" program at Apple, which is for employees who are hired remotely and never enter an Apple office. Do Apple employees who work on one of their campuses have a telecommuting option? And if so, how do they become eligible for it? And what is their training process?
Ashley: The only people I interviewed for this article were the at-home advisors, so I can't really speak to that with exact certainty (I did get a hold of Apple, but they refused to comment). However, I did get some really active discussion on the article from people who claimed to work for Apple, who said they don't have an official telecommuting policy. One person said they work in an onsite call center providing "chat" support for Apple and can work overtime from home (specifically, she said "we can also work as much overtime as we want, which includes taking PlayStation games home over the weekend to test them out."). So, it's possible their policy varies by department or is less defined than what they use for their at-home advisors. I would definitely be interested to know more details. Maybe they'll read our interview and chime in!
Jobspring Partners: In your opinion, could Apple's At-Home training program work for similar tech companies? Or does it only work because Apple is such a successful, well known company?
Ashley: Yes to both questions, because there are some tactics that could work for other companies, and others that only Apple can get away with because everyone wants Apple on their resume. For the latter, I think some of the intense monitoring they do during training, as far as watching mouse movements and calling your cell phone if they suspect you aren't there, would cause a lot of candidates to head for the hills in another context. But then there are things like the way Apple fosters camaraderie that I think could be really successful for any company. The biggest complaint I hear from remote workers in general is that they feel really isolated. This doesn't sound like someone who is engaged and excited about what they're doing, which inevitably leads to turnover issues.
Apple always starts trainings in groups of 20-100 people all in the same area. They meet for "class" online all at the same time and constantly chat and even talk on the phone with each other during training. Between classes, the moderators encourage trainees to talk about themselves. One of the advisors I spoke to talked about a crazy hat day where everyone turned on their camera to show their hat. Another person talked about days where everyone sent pictures of their lunch. This sounds kind of juvenile on the surface, and the folks I spoke to laughed about it, but it was clearly successful. Even people that no longer work at Apple told me they keep in touch with other former advisors.
Jobspring Partners: You discuss the tactics for At-Home training quite extensively but do not address the technologies used in the training process. For instance, is the video chat feature that managers employ, Skype? Or has Apple created their own software simply for this training program?
Ashley: The advisors I spoke to mentioned using Cisco's WebEx for online meetings, iDesk for content and lluminate Education for training modules, which is interesting because that's actually made for K-12 educators. Then, of course, every advisor is shipped a box before training with an iMac desktop computer, headset and their phone. Some advisors said they would get other products, depending on which division they were providing support for (services versus hardware).
Jobspring Partners: Outside of their managers, do remote employees have contact with employees that work on Apple's campuses, or are their remote teams within their "city hubs" their only connection to the Apple family?
Ashley: They didn't talk a lot about contact with any other physical Apple locations. One of the first things they do in training is talk about the culture, Steve Jobs, and working from the corporate office. They watch some videos and see pictures of the main office. Beyond that though, they don't make a concerted effort to connect remote works with physical locations. Some of the workers actually work for a contractor after training is over, so they are technically employed by someone else.
Jobspring Partners: In your research, were you able to get in touch with any managers of the At-Home Advisors program? And if so, do they have any advice for other managers in how to monitor and manage remote employees?
Ashley: No, but the advisors all spoke extremely positively about their managers. They said they made a real effort to "speak at their level." They weren't stuck on a high horse, and they were really proactive about making sure everyone in the group understood all of the training and were successful in the role. If someone failed a test, they would take time to review what answers they did get wrong and help them study up for the retake. They talked a lot about feedback, but not in a negative way. If something went wrong in their mock call, the whole group would immediately talk about it. This made it feel less like someone just wagging a finger at you. The advisors talked about them as being "mentors.
Metrics are also extremely important for advisors' success after training. Remote workers are monitored extremely closely, primarily by way of time-to-resolution and customer satisfaction. The agents with the best performance get the better schedules, time off, and even prizes like lunch paid for by Apple. So, I think as long as companies set clear expectations and have methods for monitoring performance of remote workers, they can moderate any productivity issues.

Topeka In response to a fatal crossover traffic accident, the state transportation department on Friday announced approval of a bid to install cable median barriers along Kansas Highway 10 in Douglas and Johnson counties.
"It is being put out there for safety," said Kim Qualls, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Transportation.
The project entails installing 2.3 miles of cable barrier in the median on K-10 near Eudora, and 2 miles of cable barrier near the K-10 and Kansas Highway 7 junction in Johnson County.
Gray Beal Construction Co. of Topeka has been awarded the $1.15 million project. Construction is expected to start in mid-August and be completed in late November.
In May 2011, Gov. Sam Brownback ordered the formation of a committee of citizens, elected officials and KDOT officials to look at how to improve safety along the K-10 corridor.
That was prompted by the April 2011 death of 5-year-old Cainan Shutt when an impaired driver crossed the median and struck the minivan driven by Cainan's grandfather.
Earlier this year, Cainan's mother, Ali Shutt, was honored by KDOT for her work in getting the agency to approve the cable barriers.
KDOT spokeswoman Qualls urged motorists to be careful while workers are installing the barriers.
She said there may be times during construction when a lane is shut down briefly but that most of the work will be confined to the median and shoulders.

'tennisnet.com Open', the second instalment. Here with us in the Stanglwirt pros and VIPs are celebrating - from Maria Riesch to Barbara Schett, from Stefan Koubek to Emilio Sánchez - at the ProAm tennis festival.
Guest star Emilio Sánchez Vicario, former world number 7, put it in a nutshell: 'Who couldn't enjoy an event like this? A superb setting, wonderful people and weather. I have already tweeted about how lovely it is here.'
At the second 'tennisnet.com Open', this time part of 'bet-at-home Cup Kitzbühel', artists and experts enjoyed a splendid ProAm. Stefan Koubek, is, in spite of his farewell ATP party the evening before, on top form: 'It's brilliant. I'm having so much fun that I am throwing my all at winning this title at least! But my partner is strong too, almost my insurance …". (Note: his doubles' partner was Generali Managing Director Dr. Peter Thirring.)
Ski star Maria Riesch - named by Kitz tournament director Alex Antonitsch, who was playing too of course, as the 'Sharapova of Kitz' - was clearly having fun with her doubles partner Barbara Schett: 'It was wonderful playing here in the Stanglwirt, even though I'm a little out of practice. But the weather made up for it … fantastic." The 'tennisnet.com Open' supports APT (Austrian Professional Tennis) and also Austria's up and coming tennis players.

The Poems
(Critical Guide to Poetry for Students)
The forty-three poems of Dien Cai Dau focus powerfully on familiar Vietnam War-era images, nightmares, and moral dilemmas that the United States at large still mulls over. Yusef Komunyakaa's subtle lyrical poems also provoke larger questions: When is killing right or wrong in wartime? How does one define a moral act in such chaos? How do "loving" relations (between men and women, between comrades in arms, between combatants) mutate in such conditions? What is the lasting effect on the survivors, the culture, and the land?
Komunyakaa, as a former combatant, chooses not to moralize. Though haunted by his Vietnam experience, he is not brutalized or desensitized. The poems (many of which reappear in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Neon Vernacular, 1993) show the poet remembering past battle scenes and grappling with unresolved moral questions that filter the present with ghostlike intensity. The phrase dien cai dau (loosely translatable as "crazy head") refers to the dizzying effects of war on all participants. Komunyakaa shows soldiers as "crazy heads" reacting "logically" to the illogical chaos of war. The war between cultures (black and white, Asian and American, men and women) is mediated by the observing poet, himself one of those struggling to make sense of the strangely beautiful but horrifying events of a very peculiar war.
Komunyakaa avoids abstractions. Poem after poem provides the voice of the simple soldier, fearful yet fascinated amid killing and destruction. "You and I Are Disappearing" presents a recurring memory of a girl burning to death in a linked series of metaphorical images: "She burns like a cattail torch/ dipped in gasoline./ She glows like the fat tip/ of a banker's cigar,/ silent as quicksilver./ A tiger under a rainbow/ at nightfall." The end of the poem carries Komunyakaa's emotional response: "She burns like a burning bush/ driven by a godawful wind." The "godawful wind" is the war itself, fueled by ill-defined, largely out-of-control forces....

Frank Camping has made national news over the last few weeks with his prediction that Jesus is returning on May 21, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. In fact I just check his web site and he is still saying it is 6:00 p.m. One of my members asked me today what was my reaction to Frank's prediction. My reaction is that I have paid no attention to it. I have read a couple of articles in the newspaper about it. I made a couple of jokes about the prediction last Sunday in the pulpit.
I believe the following:
1. Jesus Christ is coming again and he will judge the world.
2. When he comes, if I am alive, I will be changed to the resurrected body and if I am dead I will be raised with my new resurrection body.
3. At Jesus' coming, I will spend eternity with Him and with all who love his appearing.
4. I do not know when he is coming, so I live each day to the glory of God.
5. My plans for the weekend if God is willing: I have a wedding on Saturday morning and a wedding reception on Saturday evening. I will be on the Riverwalk at 6:00 p.m. Saturday evening.
5. I am preaching Sunday on Romans 2:29 and will talk about what is a true follower of Jesus Christ.
6. My faith is not dependent on Frank Camping being right or wrong. My faith is dependent on Jesus Christ crucified, buried, and resurrected.
So on Saturday at 6:00, if I do not hear a trumpet sound, I will continue to enjoy the wedding party and have another glass of ice tea! If I do hear the trumpet of God, I going home!!!!!!!!!!

Player of the Year
Katelyn Stewart, Cooper
5-6, S/OH, Jr.
There were setters with more assists and digs. There were hitters with more kills and blocks. But no player was more central to her team's success than the District 2-3A Most Valuable Player and all-state selection, who split between two positions and finished with 443 assists, 180 kills, 88 service aces and 279 digs.
Coach of the Year
Toni Gafford, Frenship
Given the circumstances surrounding the health of head coach Jennifer McCulley, it could have been a year in which the Tigers might not have performed as well as they did. But Gafford was outstanding in keeping the Tigers focused on what was happening on the court, leading them to a third-place finish in District 3-4A behind regional finalists Randall and Dumas.
FIRST TEAM Outside Hitter
Kalani Giddens, 5-10, Jr., Coronado
A consistent force for the Lady Mustangs the last two seasons, Giddens was the go-to player at the net for the Lady Mustangs in their run to the playoffs and a second-place finish in District 2-5A. Giddens topped the team with 313 kills to go with 208 digs and 43 service aces.
K.K. Mack, 5-11, Sr., Lubbock Christian
Despite playing in a smaller classification, Mack showed she could compete at any level with the numbers she put up. The District 1-3A Player of the Year and all-state honorable mention finished with 442 kills, 307 digs, 56 blocks, 50 aces and a .904 serve percentage.
Middle Blocker
Suzzy Dimba, 5-11, Jr., Coronado
If opponents were seeing double at the net when playing Coronado, they weren't having problems with their eyes. It was hard to get a ball past either Lizzy or Suzzy Dimba. But it was Suzzy Dimba who finished with a team-high 96 blocks to go with her 343 kills.
Chelsey Driskill, 6-0, Sr., Frenship
Driskill was a one-person wrecking crew for the Tigers at the net and a main reason for their success. The first-team all-district selection led Frenship with 651 kills to go with 123 blocks and 445 digs en route to a third-round playoff appearance.
Kyleigh Lucia, 5-6, Sr., Coronado
In a year with so many great setters throughout the South Plains, Lucia stood out the most because of her ability to direct the Lady Mustangs' potent offense and her abilities on defense, finishing the season with 1,222 assists, 294 digs and 79 service aces.
Kati Macha, 5-2, Jr., Cooper
The libero has got to play good defense for a team to be successful, and no player was better at it this year than Macha. She led the Lady Pirates' charge to the District 2-3A title by racking up 520 digs and 57 aces in earning district Defensive MVP honors.
� Outside hitters: Haidyn Scott, Coronado; Summer Wilson, Cooper; Marisa Rodriguez, Frenship; Maegan Conroy, TCHS; Kailey Killough, TCHS.

Men's Basketball Claims 79-72 Exhibition Game Victory Over Ferris State
Wednesday, November 09, 2011
(By Sports Information Student Assistant Derek Neice)
In a home exhibition contest Tuesday night, Calvin came out and impressed as the Knights took down Division II foe Ferris State in a thrilling 79-72 victory. Leading by a mere two points with under two minutes to play, the Knights managed to hold on and get the win.
Leading the way for the Knights was junior Tommy Snikkers, who led all scorers with 20 points on 6 of 13 shooting despite getting into some foul trouble early on. Junior Bryan Powell hit on 5 of 10 shots for 12 points on some clutch shooting, and sophomore Tyler Kruis also added 10 points with 6 rebounds as well.
I feel like we played really hard and Im excited about that, longtime Calvin coach Kevin Vande Streek said after the game. We had a really nice spark from a lot of guys, and they all contributed in a really positive fashion.
Ferris State got out to an early lead when the game started, but never were able to build a lead more than 7 points. Once Calvin got settled down, the Knights began to control the pace of the game.
Thanks to some sparkplug plays by Powell offensively and some powerful blocks defensively by freshman Tyler Dykstra, Calvin would take the lead with just over a minute to play in the half at 31-30, and it would hold that to the break, leading 33-30 at halftime.
In the second half, the score went back and forth as the Knights tried to build their lead but Ferris State was tough and hung close. The Bulldogs would briefly retake the lead 42-41 on an impressive alley-oop dunk, but Calvin fought back and jumped ahead again, but it would not last as Ferris State again went up with under ten to play.
The Bulldogs ran out again to another 7 point lead at 63-56 with under seven minutes to play, but Calvin managed to claw back and again jumped out in front at 66-65. Both teams traded points as the minutes wound down, and Calvin led by a slim margin before icing the game with good shooting from the free throw line.
This year we have a really young team and we still have a long way to go, Vande Streek said. But some of the major concepts were much further ahead than we were a year ago so I think the ceiling is pretty high for this group.
As a team Calvin shot well at 48.3 percent from the field on 28 of 58 shooting, but struggled from beyond the arc as the Knights only hit on 3 of 20 attempts. Calvin was solid from the charity strip at 76.9 percent on 20 of 26 shooting.
The next game for the Knights will come next week Tuesday as Calvin travels to take on Anderson College.
