LulzSec hacker group says Internet rampage over
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) – Lulz Security hacker group said that it has ended an Internet rampage that included cyberattacks on videogame companies, police, and even a US spy agency website.
"For the past 50 days we've been disrupting and exposing corporations, governments, often the general population itself, and quite possibly everything in between, just because we could," the group said in a message uploaded to The Pirate Bay file sharing website.
"It is time to say bon voyage," the message concluded. "We must now sail into the distance."
The Lulz farewell contended that the group had a crew of six people and implied the plan from the outset was for the hacking campaign to last 50 days.
While it remained to be seen whether members of the group would truly stop bedeviling the Internet, it was unlikely police would abandon efforts to track them down.
Lulz Security has claimed responsibility for hacking websites of the CIA, US Senate, Sony and others.
The group on Thursday released hundreds of documents from the Arizona Department of Public Safety in their latest cyberattack.
Lulz Security, or LulzSec, provided a link to the more than 700 documents on their website, LulzSecurity.com. The group said it was protesting Arizona's immigration laws.
The documents include information on drug cartels, street gangs, informants, border patrol operations and the names and addresses of members of the Arizona Highway Patrol.
Lulz Security said in a message at the time that it planned to release more classified police or military documents weekly.
"Behind the mask, behind the insanity and mayhem, we truly believe in the AntiSec (anti computer security) movement," Lulz Security said.
A British teenager suspected of involvement with the Lulz Security hacking spree has been remanded in police custody in London.
Ryan Cleary, 19, was arrested on Monday at his home in Wickford, southeast England, as part of a probe by Scotland Yard and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) into Lulz Security.
British police on Wednesday charged Cleary with targeting the website of Britain's Serious Organized Crime Agency — the British equivalent of the FBI — with a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.
DDoS attacks overwhelm websites with requests, causing them to be slow or inaccessible.
Lulz Security has staged a number of DDoS attacks on websites, including that of the CIA, but the group has also carried out a number of large-scale data thefts.

OPENING KICKOFF: Today's Centennial Conference (CC) game marks the 89th meeting between McDaniel (5-4, 4-4 CC) and Johns Hopkins (6-3, 6-2 CC) in a series that dates back to 1894. The Blue Jays lead the all-time series 48-35-5, including wins in the last nine meetings. Today's game marks the 83rd consecutive season when the two long-time rivals have been scheduled to be the final game on each other's schedules.
WHEN LAST WE MET: McDaniel wrapped up the 2009 season with a 38-14 loss to Johns Hopkins. The Blue Jays racked up 425 yards of total offense and held the ball for more than 35 minutes to notch their ninth straight victory over the Green Terror and wrap up their fifth CC championship. Tom Massucci (Tabernacle, N.J./Seneca) finished with 162 yards, completing just eight of his 26 pass attempts to finish a 5-5 sophomore campaign with 2,000 yards passing, becoming the third different signal caller in program history to throw for 2,000 yards in a season, joining all-time greats Brian Van Deusen and Ron Sermarini.
LAST TIME OUT: Woody Butler (Smithsburg, Md./Middletown) made his only catch of the game count most, catching a 10-yard touchdown from Tom Massucci to cap a Homecoming thriller and lift McDaniel to a 36-30 three-overtime victory over Gettysburg last Saturday. It was freshman Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) who did the lion's share of the work for the Green Terror, capping his 34-carry, 294-yard rushing day with a 15-yard carry in the third overtime to set up the Massucci-to-Butler score two plays later.
HEAD OF THE CLASS: Joe Rollins was named CC Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for a career-high 294 yards. A key part of the Green Terror's 36-30 triple-overtime victory over Gettysburg on Saturday. He recorded McDaniel's first 200-yard rushing game since 2005, carrying the ball 34 times for the highest single-game total since Joe Brockmeyer ran for a program-record 311 in 1970. Rollins added 31 yards receiving for 325 all-purpose yards. He also ran for a touchdown, sprinting 65 yards on the first play of the second half.
WITH HONORS: Sam Cox (Towson, Md./Towson) earned a spot on the CC Weekly Honor Rolls last week. Cox was tabbed to the defensive ledger after Cox after matching his career high with 10 tackles, helping hold the vaunted Gettysburg offense to just 150 yards of total offense after halftime. He added a sack and 2.5 tackles for loss and had a forced fumble.
LEADING THE WAY: Matt Cahill (Broomall, Pa./Haverford Twp.), Chris Kolb (Keymar, Md./Francis Scott Key) and Aaron Slaughter (Baltimore, Md./Loyola) will captain the squad in 2010. The three captains are the fewest named by the Green Terror since 2007 when it was just Brad Baer and Ryan Mellinger guiding the team. Cahill and Slaughter become the first three-time captains in the history of the program. Kolb will join his senior teammates as a first-time captain.
CATCHING ON: Entering the game tied with Teron Powell (1998-2001) for the career receptions record with 145, Matt Cahill caught a pass on the McDaniel's first offensive play to break the deadlock. Cahill finished the day with six catches and now has 151 for his career. With his 68 yards, he now has 1,947 receiving yards for his career, which ranks third all-time. He needs 53 yards to join Powell and Andy Steckel as the only Green Terror receivers with 2,000 yards in their careers.
JUST ROLLINS ALONG: A week after turning in McDaniel's second 100-yard rushing day of the season, Joe Rollins took it to a new level on Saturday. The freshman running back turned in a 34-carry, 294-yard performance for the second-best day rushing in program history. The outing has been bettered by only Joe Brockmeyer's program-record 311 yards against Johns Hopkins on Nov. 21, 1970. It was also the second-best rushing day for a freshman in CC history and the most yards by any conference back since Swarthmore's Ken Smith ran for 317 against Franklin & Marshall in 2000. Rollins' 294 yards was the sixth-best single-game performance in Division III this year – and best by a freshman, eclipsing Anna Maria's Robert Small by 26 yards. Small had a 24-carry, 268-yard outing against Castleton on Oct. 16.
THE BUTLER DID IT: It seems lately that all Woody Butler does is catch touchdown passes. After missing the first four games of the season with injury, Butler has caught six passes in the five games since the bye week. Of those six receptions, four have gone for touchdowns, including the game-winning score in triple overtime on Saturday. As a freshman, his lone reception of the year went for a score before catching three touchdowns a year ago, including two of his three catches in the opener.
DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK: A week after not being able to close out a game in which it held a lead at halftime, McDaniel overcame a halftime deficit for the first time all season. In fact, the Green Terror was 0-23 when trailing at halftime since rallying from a 14-3 halftime deficit against Randolph-Macon with 21 second-half points for a 24-14 victory on Oct. 21, 1996. That game was highlighted by a 75-yard touchdown pass from Brad Baer to Matt Cahill on the Green Terror's second play of the third quarter. On Saturday, McDaniel trailed 23-9 at halftime before coming back for the triple-overtime win.
SAM, I AM: Senior Sam Cox has been a key part of the Green Terror defensive line over the last two years. On Saturday, he matched his career high with 10 tackles, adding a sack and forced fumble. Cox has also been instrumental in a run defense that is allowing 110.89 yards per game – a total which ranks 45th in Division III. Cox was a cog in the defense that slowed the vaunted Gettysburg offense in the second half, allowing just 150 yards after the intermission after the Bullets racked up 314 first-half yards.
TRIPLE THREAT: For the second time since the NCAA went to the current overtime procedure in 1996, the Green Terror played in a triple-overtime game. McDaniel's 36-30 win over Gettysburg on Saturday marked the third CC game that went to triple overtime. McDaniel and Dickinson have been involved in two of them. The Red Devils defeated Johns Hopkins 13-7 in 1997 and downed the Green Terror 25-22 in 2005. Saturday marked only the fifth time that a game involving a CC team even went to double overtime. McDaniel defeated Catholic 37-36 on Sept. 17, 2005 – the last time the Green Terror won an overtime game, dropping its three attempts since that date. It was the team's first overtime game since falling to Franklin & Marshall 24-17 in 2007.
RUN, RUN RUDOLPH: As a team on Saturday, McDaniel ran for 360 yards. It was the most yards the Green Terror racked up on the ground since gashing Gettysburg for 470 on Oct. 9, 2004. Joe Rollins did most of the work for McDaniel on Saturday, rushing for 294 of the team's 360 yards. Ray O'Hara (Yardley, Pa./Conwell-Egan Catholic) added 63 yards and quarterback Tom Massucci netted three yards on five carries, including his second career rushing touchdown.
STARTING STRONG: For the second straight game, Joe Rollins gave the Green Terror a shot in the arm to start the second half. Two weeks ago, the freshman opened the second half with a 48-yard dash to the end zone to stretch McDaniel's advantage to 21-13. Last week, the 5-foot-6 tailback took the first play of the third quarter 65 yards to paydirt, pulling the hosts within 23-16. The 65-yard run was the Green Terror's longest play of the season.
TWO POINTS!: For the second time in three weeks, Chris Kolb pulled off the rarest of feats – he returned a botched PAT for two points. He is the only player in the conference this season to do so even once. There have only been a total of 10 defensive extra points scored in all of Division III this season and no other conference has successfully executed more than one. Prior to Kolb at Ursinus on Oct. 23, the last Green Terror player to return a blocked extra point for two points was in 2001 when Scott Stolzenburg returned a blocked Susquehanna PAT for two points on Sept. 8, 2001.
THRILLING THE ALUMS: For the fourth time in the last six years, McDaniel has had its Homecoming game come down to the wire. In three of those four games, overtime was needed for a decision. The stretch started in 2005 when the Green Terror and Franklin & Marshall played to overtime. Brandon Kline hit a 25-yard field goal on the Diplomats' first OT possession before blocking Jay Leonard's 20-yard attempt for a 17-14 win. The next year, Jay Leonard hit a career-long 46-yard field goal with 2.8 seconds to play in regulation, breaking a 14-all deadlock for a 17-14 victory. In 2007, Franklin & Marshall and McDaniel once again played to overtime. The Diplomats scored on a five-yard touchdown on their sixth play of OT before forcing a Green Terror fumble inside the 10-yard line for a 24-17 win. Last week, it was triple overtime between McDaniel and Gettysburg after both kickers missed field goals in the final 5:33 of regulation.
TERROR TIDBITS: Matt Cahill has caught a pass in 23 consecutive games – one of eight CC receivers to have an active streak of at least 20 games… Chris Kolb made his eighth interception of the season in overtime on Saturday and needs one to match Carroll "Splinter" Yingling's 1967 record of nine… The Green Terror rolled up 500 yards of total offense for the first time since notching 556 at Gettysburg in 2004.
COACHES' CORNER: Tim Keating is in his 18th season at the helm of the Green Terror. His 108 victories are the most by any McDaniel coach. Keating enters this week with record of 108-74-3, guiding the program to seven CC championships and a pair of NCAA playoff wins. Before coming to the Hill, Keating notched a 26-23 record in five seasons at Wesley… Jim Margraff is in his 21st season at Johns Hopkins. The all-time winngingest coach in program history, he has compiled a record of 135-78-3 in his tenure with the Blue Jays. After earning a share of three consecutive conference titles, Margraff led Johns Hopkins to its first outright claim to the title and NCAA tournament bid in 2005 and once again took the outright crown last season and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals. The Blue Jays have also claimed three ECAC titles in his tenure.
THE WORD ON JOHNS HOPKINS: The Blue Jays enter today's game off a 24-9 victory at Franklin & Marshall and has a chance to claim a share of its sixth CC title… Hewitt Tomlin threw a 61-yard touchdown pass to Sam Wernick on Johns Hopkins' first possession of the second half to propel the Blue Jays to a 17-0 second half, overcoming a 9-7 halftime deficit at Franklin & Marshall for a win in their 1,000th game… Tomlin finished the day 20-for-29 passing for 313 yards… Tucker Michels caught nine of those passes for 125 yards while Wernick had four receptions for 124 yards… Tomlin leads the CC in passing yards, averaging 280.7 yards per game. His 289.1 yards per game of total offense is also tops in the league… Wernick is averaging a conference-best 114.1 yards per game receiving. He is the only CC receiver with more than 1,000 yards. His 164.8 all-purpose yards per game and 14 touchdowns are also best in the conference… Alex Lachman is the best kicker in the CC with 66 points. He is 36 of 40 on extra-point attempts and 10 of 14 on field-goal tries… With a 34-yard field goal in the third quarter on Saturday, Lachman broke a tie with Ben Scott for the CC and Johns Hopkins field goals made record with the 44th of his career… Lachman is also the career kick scoring record holder with 266 points by kicking… Ryan Piatek leads Johns Hopkins with 90 tackles – a total which ranks second in the conference. He also has 11.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks as well as three interceptions and two pass breakups… The Blue Jays are best in the conference on third downs, converting 48.6 percent of their attempts… The offensive line has allowed a CC-low eight sacks this season… The defense is tied for the conference lead in the red zone, allowing opponents to score just 63.3 percent of time (19 of 30) while the offense is second, converting at an 89.5 percent rate (34 of 38)… Johns Hopkins is 24-4 in November since 2005 and needs a win and Moravian victory over Muhlenberg to claim a share of its sixth CC crown.

Mysterious domain name snatchings are happening over at Lucasfilm. Has the latest Lucasfilm online activity just revealed a big Star Wars project on the rise? Definitely perhaps.
Website Fusible noticed that Lucasfilm recently registered a few domain names, including one titled "Star Wars: Identities."
Three domain names were registered on November 7th through Corporation Service Company, a brand protection service: StarWarsIdentities.com, StarWarsIdentites.com [typo] and sw-id.com.
So what could it be? Is Lucas laying the groundwork for his live-action Star Wars TV series? Could this be a Clone Wars project or something to do with the Robot Chicken Star Wars comedy series we were promised long ago? Our guess — Lucasfilm is working on a registration website for gamers from The Old Republic MMO. But then again, wouldn't that be LucasArts doing the registration? Curious and curiouser. What say you?

Bulldogs Try To Stay in Ivy Race

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Since the Ivy League began naming champions in 1956, there have only been two winners with a pair of losses, the last one coming 20 years ago. The Yale football team has 14 championships, but none have come with more than one loss. Thus the Bulldogs (1-4, 0-2 Ivy) have been pushed to the brink with the Penn Quakers (2-3, 2-0) coming to the Bowl for a noon kickoff. The Ancient Eight contest airs live on NBC Sports Network, WELI (AM-960, weli.com) and wybcx.com (student).
Yale leads the series against the Quakers 44-34-1, though Penn has won 16 of the last 20 meetings. The Blue's last win over Penn at Yale Bowl was a 17-14 OT game in 2006. Three of the last nine meetings have gone to OT.
RB Alex Thomas '12 rushed for 204 yards and scored a TD but it wasn't enough to get Yale a win at Penn in a 37-25 decision. The Bulldogs had a 20-10 advantage heading into the fourth quarter but gave up four scores to fall for the first time in Ivy play. WR Chris Smith '13 caught six passes for 148 yards and two TDs while accumulating a game-high 202 all-purpose yards. Injuries prevented both Thomas and Smith from finishing the game. QB Patrick Witt '12 completed 15 of 29 throws for 258 yards a pair of scores. LB Will McHale had a game-best 11 solos and 13 overall tackles. The Quakers totaled 528 yards including 277 on the ground.
Mark Ross caught eight passes for 105 yards, including a 10-yard scoring play to put the visitors ahead for good late in the third quarter as Lafayette held off Yale 20-10 at Yale Bowl last week. Ross, whose game-winner came with 3:58 left in the third, also caught a 32-yard, fourth-down pass with under three minutes to play that helped put the game away. Both throws were made by Andrew Shoop, who completed 20 of 33 passes for 243 yards and two scores despite being sacked four times. Yale senior NG Chris Dooley had two of the sacks, while freshman DB Cole Champion led the Blue with nine solos and 10 overall tackles. Lafayette (4-2) didn't win the statistical contest but won the most important battles, including the final score and turnovers. The Leopards forced four Yale interceptions (2 by Shane Black) and only turned it over once when they had the ball. The Bulldogs (1-4) had the edge in first downs (26-14), total offense (392-315) and possession time (34-26), but couldn't come up with the big plays (0-2 on fourth down) when needed most. The biggest play of all was a fourth and one from the Lafayette 28 late the fourth with Yale down four points. Senior RB Mordecai Cargill (14-98) was stopped for a loss and the visitors took over from there. Bulldog sophomore RB Tyler Varga led all runners with 100 yards (23 attempts) on the ground and 90 more between receptions (2) and kickoff returns (73 yds). Yale QB Eric Williams (23-34, 209) was sacked three times and threw four interceptions despite connecting with nine different Eli receivers.
Penn trailed visiting Columbia by 10 with just under 10 minutes to play last Saturday before marching back to grab a 24-20 win. Billy Ragone (Cheshire, Conn.), who had three TD passes, completed a six-yard pass to Lyle Marsh (7-80) in the back of the end zone with 50 seconds left to put the Quakers ahead. Columbia drove deep into Penn territory but the clock ran out after a pass play connected inside the 5-yard line. That's where junior DB Dan Wilk made a game-saving tackle. Sebastian Jaskowski (8-2-10) led all Quakers in tackles.
QB Billy Ragone is the only player in the Ivy League this year who leads his team in rushing and passing… P Scott Lopano has a league-best 44.4 average… The Quakers also lead the league in red zone efficiency, fourth-down conversions and possession time… Ragone is one of four Connecticut kids on the roster: DB Evan Jackson (Hamden, Choate); DL Ernie Rosato (Greenwich); and TE Mitchell King (Essex).
On paper, this is a very even matchup that could make for an interesting one on the Class of 1954 Field. The contest features two quarterbacks with the ability to punish a defense for sending too many people at them. The decisions those guys make (Penn and Yale are 7,8 in turnover margin in the league) when forced out of the pocket could be the difference. The experience edge certainly goes to the Penn signal caller.
2007: Yale's goal-line stand followed a TD run by Mike McLeod '09 in the third OT of an Eli win, the first for the Blue at Penn since 1900… 2006: Alan Kimball's '08 35-yard field goal in OT gave Yale a 17-14 victory at New Haven... 2003: Playing its first modern OT game, Yale fell to Penn at Franklin Field (34-31) after erasing a 31-10 deficit. The Blue tied the game with 32 seconds left but had a FG attempt blocked in the extra session... 1991: Nick Crawford '92 rushed for a Yale QB record 204 yards in a 31-12 Bulldog win at New Haven... 1987: WR Bob Shoop '88 (currently Vanderbilt's defensive coordinator) capped off a miraculous comeback at Yale Bowl with a last-second TD reception in a 28-22 Yale victory... 1969: Jack Ford `72 (provides color for Yale on YES games) intercepted a Penn pass and went 77 yards for a score in a 21-3 Yale win... 1958: Herb Hallas '59 set a school record with a 94-yard punt return, but it was the only points in a 30-6 Quaker win.
For the second consecutive week, Yale had nine different offensive players catch a pass. Thirteen have receptions this fall but only two (WRs Cameron Sandquist, Grant Wallace) are in double digits. Five Bulldogs have caught TD passes, including two each from Sandquist and TE Michael Leunen.
For the second straight week, two Portland natives, freshman QB Eric Williams and sophomore TE Michael Leunen, connected on Yale's offensive touchdown. Williams (Jesuit High) and Leunen (Westview) played against each other in 2009 with Jesuit taking the contest, 24-23. Williams was a sophomore receiver that year, Leunen a senior tight end. The two schools met two weeks ago at Williams' old stomping grounds and the result was: Jesuit 42, Westview 7.
After getting hurt early in game two and sitting out the third week, senior RB Mordecai Cargill (Cleveland, Ohio) has come back strong the last two weeks with 194 yards combined. He had 98 yards and a 7.0 average against Lafayette last week sharing snaps with Tyler Varga. The week before against Dartmouth, he got the start and had most of the attempts, running for 96 yards and catching two passes.
Senior LB Will McHale (Old Greenwich, Conn.) leads the Blue with 24 solo, 40 overall tackles and three stops for lost yardage. McHale, who has started 25 straight games since his sophomore year, has 174 career tackles and three interceptions. He was second-team All-Ivy last fall. The 6-foot-1, 236-pound defensive leader with Sunday football potential comes from a college football family. Both his father and grandfather played at Notre Dame.
Yale sophomore Tyler Varga (Kitchener, Ont.) leads the Ivy in both all-purpose (208) and kickoff (26.9) yards while ranking second and 17th respectively in the nation. Varga has rushed for over 100 yards in three of four games. He is the first newcomer to run for triple digits in his Yale debut since Mike McLeod in 2005. Varga, who played at the University of Western Ontario in 2011, had a season-high two TDs in the season opener at Georgetown. The 5-foot-11, 220-pound back was a star track & field (sprinter, triple jump, thrower) athlete who also competed in swimming, basketball and baseball. Varga was a star regional sprinter and jumper, but injured his leg and was convinced by his coach to help the team by throwing the shot (45', 6.5") and javelin (110'). He excelled at both.

Junior WR Cameron Sandquist leads the team with 26 catches and 311 yards this season, including a career-best 10 catches against Colgate. He entered the season with 21 career grabs and kicked off 2012 with a bang. In the opener at Georgetown, he connected on a school-record, 98-yard pass play in the second quarter. Sandquist, who has six career TD grabs, scored on his first two collegiate receptions as a freshman in 2010 against Columbia. He is equally famous for his role as shortstop on the 2004 Little League World Series Northwest (Redmond LL) Team.
Freshman DB Cole Champion (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) has worked his way into a starting safety spot and notched a career-high nine solos and 10 overall stops against Lafayette. He is second on the team with 21-9-30 for the season and leads the Blue with three pass breakups. Champion was an all-state football linebacker and lacrosse midfielder at St. Thomas Aquinas High. He is the school's career tackles leader and helped them earn "national championships" in 2008 (with current teammate LB Dylan Drake '13) and 2010. He has played on stages as big as Cowboys Stadium and against opponent running backs as talented as South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore and Florida State's James Wilder. Not surprisingly, nine of his former teammates are playing Division I football, five in the FBS and four Ivy Leaguers. His father, Gregg Champion, played football at New Hampshire.
The last time a Yale team began its Ivy slate 0-2 was in 1997, the first year under Jack Siedlecki… Yale's 26 first downs, 54 rushing attempts and 88 total plays last week were season-highs… The Yale defense forced a season-high eight punts last week… NG Chris Dooley's two sacks and three TFLs last week were a Yale season-high… P Kyle Cazzetta landed a pair of kicks inside the Lafayette 20… The Blue is looking for its first interception since Collin Bibb saved the season opener with a pick late in the fourth quarter.
Tony Reno, the Joel E. Smilow'54 Head Coach of Yale football, is in his first head coaching position after cutting his teeth in the Ivy League the last nine seasons. He was a Bulldog assistant under Jack Siedlecki (2002-08) and coached for the Crimson the last three falls. This isn't the first time an Italian-American, former Bulldog assistant in his mid 30s took over the Yale program. Carm Cozza did it in 1965 and amassed an Ivy record 179 wins 32 years later.
The Yale roster included 111 names when players reported to campus on Aug. 15. Seventeen Elis have dropped off that roster since, primarily due to injury. Yale's 94 players are the fewest on an Ivy League roster this fall.
Each week the Yale football team elects someone to be its "team leader" for that Saturday. Here are the Bulldogs who have earned the most respect of their teammates that week.

Lafayette DB Kurt Stottlemyer '13
Freshman Eric Williams (Portland, Ore.) is learning how to play quarterback at the college level the old fashioned way. He's getting knocked down a lot, learning from his mistakes and figuring out the defenses and tempo of the new level while having some success thinking on his feet. Against Colgate, he rushed for 114 yards (threw for 171) to become the first Yale QB to rush for triple digits since Sept. 21, 2002. Williams has completed better than 64 percent of his passes for 1,022 yards in five games. Williams, the brother of Yale football players Scott '13 and Sean '11, and the son of former NFL player, Larry (Browns, Patriots, Saints, Chargers), became Yale's first freshman starter behind center since Mike McClellan '01 (first Eli rookie QB to start a varsity game since World War II) in the 1997 season opener at home against Brown. Williams was the starting QB at Jesuit High School in Portland for two years before his family moved, and he spent his senior campaign at St. Ignatius near Cleveland. One of the assistant coaches on the St. Ignatius team was former Yale captain Rory Hennessey '05.

Seven players have seen most of the action, including one senior, three juniors, two sophomores and a freshman. The senior is RT Roy Collins (6-5, 266, Carbondale, Ill.). The juniors are LT Wes Gavin (6-6, 286, San Diego, Calif.), C John Oppenheimer (6-0, 264, Menlo Park, Calif.) and LT Kyle White (6-7, 268, Pompton Plains, NJ). The sophomores are RG Ben Carbery (6-5, 287, Oak Park, Ill.) and LG William Chism (6-3, 277, Ridgeland, Miss.), while the lone newcomer was RG Luke Longinotti (6-4, 265, Burlingame, Calif.). Gavin and Carbery combined to win freshman MVP honors the last two years.
Two tight ends and two defensive tackles have been moved over to solidify this unit over the past few years. Here are some notes on Yale offensive linemen.
LT Wes Gavin's father, Bob, ran the two-mile event at the Missouri High School State Championships and the marathon during the 1975 Kansas Relays. He and his wife are under 5-foot-8. Their son was named scholar-athlete by the San Diego chapter of the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame while also throwing the shot and discus in high school. He had offers from SDSU, Portland State, the military academies and the rest of the Ivy League … C John Oppenheimer, who moved over from the defense his sophomore year, played both sides of the line in high school. His father, Peter Oppenheimer, is Apple's senior vice president and Chief Financial Officer… RT Roy Collins, who was a prep star at Choate Rosemary Hall, came to Yale as a TE. He was in the New Haven chapter of the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame. Collins is a type 1 diabetic who wears an insulin pump during practices and games. His first cousin, Gerome Sapp, played at Notre Dame and then with the Colts and the Ravens (2003-2007). His mother's cousin, Burgess Owens, played at the University of Miami and with the Jets and Raiders (1973-1982)… LG Wiliam Chism owns a fire wood business back home in Mississippi. His father, Brad Chism, played football at Millsap College and was a Rhodes Scholar. He is President of Zata|3 Consulting, a Washington, D.C.-based direct voter contact firm. The younger Chism had offers from every Ivy school and several other FCS institutions… RG Ben Carbery was a National Merit finalist and the captain of his high school's Scholastic Bowl team, which finished 17th at the 2010 National Academic Quiz Tournament national championship (he was 8th in the individual competition). He is the son of Paul '83 and Sherry '83 Carbery. His aunt, Patti Carbery '86, played basketball and softball at Yale.
Senior DB John Powers (Hamden, Conn.) was in the middle of his fourth season as a force on special teams and in the defensive backfield when he suffered a serious arm injury against Dartmouth that could end his college career. Powers, a former star quarterback at Hopkins School in New Haven, is not thinking that way. "I have a hunch I have not played my last snap," said Powers, who has 15 solos and 26 overall tackles this year.
The starting QB is a newcomer and the top two ground gainers are also first-year Bulldogs. Twenty-five percent of the team's receptions are from new players. While the class of 2016 has only two players making a lot of tackles this fall, you can still say the Bulldog newcomers have made a major impact. There are an unprecedented eight new guys on the Yale two-deep depth chart, including six on offense. Fifteen newcomers were on the travel squad the first two weeks, and there have been times with four first-year players on offense at the same time.
Senior WR Derek Russell (Newton, Mass.) has been a patient and loyal Bulldog, waiting for a chance to make an impact for the varsity. Russell, who passed for 2,100 yards and 21 TDs his senior year at Newton South High, has bounced around different positions at Yale before settling into his first collegiate varsity role this fall as the top holder, a punt protector and a backup receiver. At Cornell he caught three passes for 27 yards. Against Dartmouth he completed one of two passes on fourth-down plays, including a fourth-down, 18-yard score to Dylan Drake on special teams in the second quarter. He also ran the ball twice for seven yards against the Big Green while catching two passes for 15 yards.
Princeton, picked to finish at the bottom of the league standings, is one of three 2-0 Ivy teams heading into Saturday. The Tigers stunned many by blanking Brown last week at Old Nassau, 19-0. Columbia, also slated for the southern part of the Ancient Eight standings, was leading Penn most of the day before it slipped away against the Quakers at Franklin Field last week. Meanwhile, other Ivy squads finished off non-league schedules. Harvard smacked Bucknell at Boston, 35-7, Cornell just got by (41-38) Monmouth at Ithaca and Dartmouth fell at home to Sacred Heart, 27-10.
All of Yale's non-league games were against Patriot League squads this fall. The Blue beat Georgetown and lost to Colgate and Lafayette.
Three Bulldogs were honored after week one of the season, one from the Ivy and the other from the website collegefootballperformance.com.
Ivy League: RB Tyler Varga (Sept. 15), Rookie of the Week

Yale Football has a new player lounge on the third floor of Ray Tompkins House replete with couches, tables, desks, games, TVs and life-sized images on the walls.
The Yale helmets have a slight "retro" look this fall with a change in the "Y" on the sides. Instead of having the "Y" outlined with a white line and then an outer blue edge, a thinner blue "Y" now stands alone, showcasing the look from the late 1960s through the 1980s.
The 100th anniversary of Yale Bowl will be celebrated during the 2014 season. Planning for the celebration has just begun. The bulk of the activity will take place on Sept. 27 when the Bulldogs host Army for the first time since 1988 (last meeting was 1996).
For the second straight fall, the Elis hosted Dartmouth and play at Columbia. According to the league, the Ivy schedule format changed in 2008. In order to make the necessary changes and follow the scheduling parameters, these two game sites had to remain for a second straight year.
There are 3,543 names of Yale football players listed on 345 stones in Jensen Plaza outside Yale Bowl. The names include the first Bulldog squad in 1872 through the class of 2012.
Former Yale QB Stone Phillips '77, who anchored NBC's Dateline for 15 years, launched a new website this fall, stonephillipsreports.com... Ex-Eli captain Rory Hennessey '05 is the founder of Altum Athletico, LLC, a U.S. shoe company that has a "barefoot" design... Two former Yale receivers are coaches on the 2012 Vanderbilt University football squad. Bob Shoop '88, a 24-year veteran of college coaching, is the defensive coordinator. Chandler Henley '06, the captain of the 2006 Ivy Champions, is a graduate assistant coach… 2009 Yale captain Paul Rice '10 is a graduate assistant football coach at Georgia Tech… Former OL Kyle Metzler '03 is the tight ends coach for Dartmouth... Former Eli QB Bob Verduzco '90 is a first-year offensive coordinator for the Galesburg-Augusta (Mich.) High School football team that ended a 32-game losing streak on Sept. 20.
Dez Duron '13, a former reserve Yale QB and the team's best singer, took a leave from school last year to pursue a spot on NBC's hit singing show The Voice. He was selected this fall by Christina Aguilera to compete on her team. Despite that, the Bulldogs voted him the "best singer" on the team this fall.
The Yale JV has three games left this fall: Oct. 28 vs. Bridgton Academy; Nov. 4 at Brown and Nov. 16 at Harvard. All games are 1 p.m., while home contests are played at Clint Frank Field.
Dartmouth owns the most Ivy League titles since league play officially began in 1956. Yale and Harvard trail Penn by one for second.

Yale has gone four straight seasons without a tie after regulation time. The Elis are 4-3 in OT games overall since its first, a 34-31 loss at Penn in 2003.The last OT game was a 26-20, triple-extra-session win at Penn in 2007.
Tony Reno, the Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Yale Football, and some of his players are at the world famous Mory's (306 York Street) every Tuesday (Sept. 11 through Nov. 12) at noon for the Dick Galiette Yale Football Media Luncheon. This event is limited to media only. Please contact Yale Sports Publicity Director Steve Conn (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you would like to attend. The following Yale players have attended the luncheon: Chris Dooley, Mordecai Cargill (Georgetown); Eric Williams, John Powers (Cornell) and Allen Davis, William Chism and Cole Champion (Colgate) and Ryan Falbo, Roy Collins and Grant Wallace (Dartmouth), Cameron Sandquist and Blake Thomson (Lafayette).
All five home games this season are video streamed on yalebulldogs.com through Yale's All Access with Ron Vaccaro (follow @yalevoice on Twitter for Yale football updates)
and Carm Cozza providing the call for both All Access and WELI Radio. All home games are live broadcasts except for Penn.
A recent tradition continues with Yale football radio broadcasts in 2012. Every third quarter, home and away, Vaccaro and Cozza are joined by a former Yale player on WELI. Here's who has been on this fall: Dave Sheronas '93 and Dan Urban '93 (Georgetown), Gary Wilhelm '74 (Cornell), Jake Stoller '12 (Colgate), Rory Hennessey '05 (Dartmouth) and Kevin Callahan '91 (Lafayette) with Chris Denny-Brown '07 (Penn) up next.
To hear a Yale student broadcast of Yale football games, tune into wybcx.com. Each pre-game show includes an interview with Tony Reno.
The Bulldogs, off on Mondays, are on the field from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday behind the baseball stadium. Fridays are walk-through days either at Yale Bowl or on the road and times vary. Players and coaches are available for interviews with working media following the practice if there is no student-athlete scheduling conflicts. All schedules are subject to change.
Yale on YES includes three broadcasts this fall on the YES Network. The YES games are Columbia, Brown and Princeton. This is the fifth straight fall the Bulldogs appear on the network home for New York Yankees baseball. YES broadcaster Chris Shearn handles the play-by-play, with color commentary coming from former Yale defensive back Jack Ford '72, a well-known author and TV personality, and ex-National Football League and Princeton lineman Ross Tucker.
Yale football airs live on NBC Sports Network three times this fall. The Cornell, Penn and Harvard games will be shown by the TV group previously branded as VERSUS. The studio team of Liam McHugh, Doug Flutie and Hines Ward provide pre- and post-game coverage on NBC and/or NBC Sports Network every Saturday of the college football season. The NBC Sports Network has televised 17 Ivy League football matchups featuring all eight schools over the past four (2008-11) seasons.
While schools are getting away from producing "media guides," both printed and digital, most of the information you once got with the Yale media guide is still available upon request or by looking on yalebulldogs.com. The following links are available on the football home page.

The Yale Bowl press box has a taste of New Haven with Yorkside Pizza & Restaurant serving slices, pasta and salad to the media on home Saturdays.
Yale was the first football team of any type to reach 800 wins when it beat Dayton 42-6 on Sept. 16, 2000. It wasn't hard for Michigan (896 wins) to catch up playing three or four games more than Yale each season. The Bulldogs are second with 870 victories.
Shane Bannon '11 (Chiefs) and Jake Stoller '12 (Steelers) were in NFL Camps right up to the start of the 2012 regular season. Bannon, an H-Back on the Kansas City practice squad in 2011, suffered an injury midway through this year's camp before being released. Stoller, a defensive lineman, made it all the way to the final day of teams reporting their regular-season rosters.
Three former Bulldogs are coaching in the NFL this season. Dick Jauron '73, who has spent 34 years in the NFL as a player (25 interceptions, Detroit & Cincinnati) and coach, is in his second year as the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. He has also coached in Jacksonville, Green Bay, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo and Philadelphia. Jauron, the 2001 AP Coach of the Year with the Bears, was an NFL head coach three times, most recently with the Bills (2006-09). Pat Graham '01, a former Yale tight end and defensive lineman, is a defensive assistant coach for the New England Patriots. He is in his fourth season at Foxboro. Graham, a Waterbury, Conn., native, was a member of Yale's 1999 Ivy title team. Michael McDaniel '05 is in his sixth NFL campaign and second with the Washington Redskins. He also coached the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos.
Yale, which last played in the Golden State in 2005 at the University of San Diego, has another trip to California planned. On Oct. 5, 2013, the Bulldogs play against Cal Poly Tech (San Luis Obispo), ranked No. 1 in the latest College Sporting News Gridiron Power Index. The Mustangs are 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the Big Sky Conference. The only two games the Blue has played on the West Coast were against USD.
After four straight home games, the Elis take to the road next week with a 12:30 kick at Columbia.
The annual survey of Bulldogs produced the anticipated results; Yale is a team full of leaders who produced as much off the field as they did on it. Here is the 2012 breakdown.
50 players were captains of their high school football team
35 players were captains of another sport in high school
41 players were a national honors society member
4 players were class president at their high school
4 players were student body president at their high school
5 players were class valedictorian at their high school
4 players were class salutatorian at their high school
The following Yalies have distinguished themselves according to a vote by their teammates.
OL William Chism (So, Ridgeland, Miss.)… most humorous
TE Michael Leunen (Jr, Portland, Ore.)… most intelligent
TB Mordecai Cargill (Sr, Cleveland, Ohio)… most vocal leader (not captain)
DB John Powers (Sr, Hamden, Conn.)… most likely to be U.S. President
DE Beau Palin (Jr, Oconomowoc, Wis.)… most interesting activity (Capt. America, water skiing)
DE Allen Davis (Sr, Grand Praire, Texas)… best singer
DB Collin Bibb (Sr, San Antonio, Texas)… strongest player (pound-for-pound)

Find answers to all your questions about financial aid for the College of Liberal Arts in Rollins' full-time undergraduate day program.
Please be aware that the Financial Aid Office may use electronic means to communicate with you. It is your responsibility to keep your Rollins' e-mail address current and to read messages that are sent. It is also important that you keep your mailing address and phone number current with records' officials.
The Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) determines your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC determines your eligibility for need-based aid. Items that will affect need-based aid eligibility from year to year include dramatic changes to income and/or assets, changes to the number of family members in college, changes to the number of family members residing in the household, etc.
Yes! Rollins offers limited need-based financial aid. Timing is critical in the financial aid process, so international students seeking need-based financial aid must apply at the same time they apply for admission. The pool of international applicants is highly competitive and the level of support provided from Rollins ranges widely, depending on particular family circumstances. Aid is determined based on the information provided by the family on the International Student Financial Aid Application, as well as the amount of Rollins academic scholarship received. Students seeking need-based aid will receive an email containing a link to the application once they submit their admission application to Rollins. We recommend that you submit the International Student Financial Aid Application within a few days of applying.
The Office of Admission determines scholarship eligibility based on your academic history. Need-based financial aid is awarded based on uniformly applied policies designed to distribute available resources in an equitable manner. These awards are not negotiable.
Step three of the FAFSA poses a series of questions used to determine whether you are dependent for financial aid purposes. If you answer no to all, you are dependent. The questions address your age, marital status, degree level, whether you have dependent children, and military veteran status.
We recognize that the need analysis process does not always consider every family situation. If your family has experienced an unusual change in financial circumstances not considered on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, you may wish to request consideration. To do this you should request a Need Analysis Review Form from our office. Complete the form and return it with the appropriate documentation. We will make every effort to incorporate these circumstances into the need analysis calculation. A review may only be conducted for circumstances that can be documented.
Rollins College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Please contact the Financial Aid Office for specific information relating to: The cost of attendance, available financial aid programs, or financial aid policies for study abroad programs.
Graduation/Retention rates and information relating to the athletic program may be obtained by contacting the Director of Institutional Research at 407-646-2573. Information on campus crime statistics may be obtained by contacting Campus Safety at 407-646-2999.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) assures the confidentiality of your educational record. This Act also allows you access to information contained in your educational record. Please contact the appropriate office if you would like access to any information held. Rollins College 's policy regarding confidentiality can be found in the College Catalogue. The policy permits the release of directory information without the student's consent unless specifically requested in writing not to disclose. Students who wish to have their directory information withheld must make this request no later than September 1 of each year. If a request is received, all directory information will be withheld since the College cannot release selected information. Requests for withholding of directory information should be made to the Office of the Registrar.
If you are a financial aid recipient you have certain rights and responsibilities.
You have the right to:
You are responsible for:
If you must withdraw from a class, you may be required to repay a portion of your financial aid. Eligibility for financial aid is based on the costs involved with attending for an entire semester. Please read the following Return of Title IV Aid policy carefully.
Repayment Requirements for Federal Aid Recipients who fail to complete a semester
In the event that a student who received Title IV funds completely withdraws, is expelled, drops out, or otherwise fails to complete a period of enrollment for which charges are incurred, the College will first determine whether:
Unearned Title IV funds, other than Federal College Work Study, must be returned to the appropriate financial aid program. A student "earns" Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time he or she remains enrolled. The percentage of time during the period that the student remained enrolled is the percentage of aid for that period that the student earned. For example, if a student remains enrolled in 50 out of 100 calendar days for a semester, that student has earned 50 percent of his or her aid. Therefore, using this example, 50 percent of the aid must be returned to the appropriate aid program(s). A student who remains enrolled for more than 60 percent of the semester earns all of his or her aid for that semester.
A student who abandons (drops out) his/her classes without officially notifying the college will have a portion of aid canceled and returned to the appropriate program. The midpoint of the semester will be used as the withdrawal date for students who fail to provide official notification.
According to Federal Guidelines, the responsibility for repaying unearned aid may be shared by the College and the student in proportion to the aid each is assumed to possess. The College share is the lesser of: a) the amount of unearned aid or b) institutional charges multiplied by the percentage of aid that was unearned. The student's share is the difference between the total unearned amount and the institution's share.
Unearned Title IV aid will result in a reduction to each aid program in the following order:
Reduction of the above programs may create a balance that will be due from the student to the College. The student's share of a grant will be reduced to half per federal law. The student's share of a returned loan will be paid according to the terms of the promissory note. Aid from Rollins' sources will be reduced by the same percentage of credit given against tuition. The percent of credit given against tuition is dictated by the college refund policy. Rollins College's policy does not include state programs in the return of Title IV aid. State of Florida grant and scholarship programs will be finalized at the end of the drop/add period.

well worth a look, in my opinion. even if its only just sitting on the sidelines, and watching the instructor.
Years ago when people wanted to join our aikido club, the instructor would ask them why, then make then sit and watch for up to 6 months before letting them on the mat. Kind of seeing if they really wanted it, all the while he studied them to see if he thought they had the correct spirit. Our aikido was very ki orientated back then.
Our AJJ class is quite relaxed. We obey etiquette and classes are always enjoyable, not sure i'd call it fun though. I was nearly unconscious 3 times within 20 mins on tuesday from:
1. misplaced atemi to the nerve on my jawline
2. misplaced strangulation which turned into a choke
3. a one-arm stranglehold that was slightly over-zealously applied, lol.
It aint always fun.....but its always good!

Welcome to a yoga session designed to get you through the stress of the holiday season. I'm Lynne McSweeney, and I teach at Savannah Power Yoga.
Today I'm going to teach you some poses to help you combat the pressures that we face during this busy time of the year.
Using some items from around the house as props, you can create a mini retreat in your own home. This yoga sequence will not only help you find a little peace and calm, but it will also open your hips and relax your shoulders.
Getting ready
Let's start by gathering some props. Grab a bolster, a blanket or beach towel, a hand towel, a yoga block and a small throw pillow. An eye pillow is also nice, but if you don't have one, you can use a wash cloth or small towel. Fold the blanket or towel to form a rectangular shape. Keep your props handy - we'll use them later.
Child's Pose
• Come onto your mat and bring your knees wide and big toes touching.
• Place your forehead on the mat and extend your arms back by your legs, palms facing the ceiling. Your shoulders should be completely at ease.
• If this position is uncomfortable to stay for a few minutes, you can lie over your bolster or folded blanket, turning your head to one side. Mid-way through make sure to turn your head the other way.
• Begin to take long, deep inhalations and complete exhalations. Stay here for up to five minutes.
• Come onto your hands and knees and we'll do a shoulder release next.
Thread the Needle
• Turn your left palm face up and slide your hand under your right arm. Release your left shoulder and your head onto the mat. Make sure not to create any tension in your neck. Make small adjustments so that you feel a deep but gentle stretch through your spine and shoulders. Take 5 breaths then switch sides.
Seated forward fold
• Come comfortably seated on the mat or on your support with your legs stretched forward. Place a rolled towel or bolster under your knees for support.
• With your hands near your hips, come onto all your fingertips. On an inhale, lift your chest and take your upper arm bones back. As you exhale start to pull your chest toward your knees, keeping the low back extending. With each inhale create length in the spine. With each exhale release deeper into the forward fold.
• When you feel you're at your deepest fold, just relax. Allow your neck to release and drop your head. Rest your arms on the mat by your thighs. Completely relax your shoulders.
• Stay for 5 minutes, if possible.
Legs Up the Wall
• Move to the wall sitting with your left hip as close as possible to the wall.
• Come to lie down on your right side and swing your legs up on to the wall. Snuggle your bottom as close to the wall as you can. Placing a blanket or a block under your sacrum for support can be a great modification. Keep your legs as straight as possible. Let them be completely supported by the wall.
• Rest your arms by your side with your palms facing the ceiling. Stay for up to 5 minutes, allowing your breath to remain deep and calm.
Relaxation Pose
We'll use lots of props here.
• Take your bolster or folded blanket and place it long ways on your mat. If you have a pillow or folded towel, place it at the head of your bolster.
• Sit at the end of the support and slowly lower yourself down to rest. Placing your rolled towel or pillow under your knees will let your legs relax even more. Allow the legs to be comfortably apart with the feet splayed open. If you have an extra blanket, go ahead and cover yourself up.
• Rest your head on the pillow or folded towel so that your chin can drop slightly toward your chest, keeping the back of the neck long and relaxed. If using an eye pillow, place it over your eyes now. Your arms should be draped by your side with your palms facing up.
• This is a wonderful way to end your practice. You can play some quiet soothing music and rest here for up to 15 minutes.
Anytime you can squeeze in this practice, give yourself this gift during the holiday season! Happy holidays, y'all! Namaste.

Letter from President Schmotter
July, 2011
To the Western Connecticut State University Community:
Western Connecticut State University has, since 1954, been accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). That the university has earned this distinction reflects the quality of the education we provide our students, the outstanding faculty on campus and the dedication and talents of the entire WCSU community.
WCSU was last reaccredited in 2003 and efforts are now underway to prepare for the next NEASC reaccreditation self-study. This process will culminate with an on-site evaluation by a team of faculty members and administrators from other institutions of higher education in October 2013.
As part of this process, a Steering Committee has been formed and teams consisting of faculty members and staff will begin to address the eleven NEASC standards of accreditation. This will afford us a great opportunity to share the accomplishments achieved from the implementation of our Strategic Plan as well as an occasion to evaluate all aspects of the university and set the stage for our future direction.
While the NEASC Steering Committee and Standards teams have primary responsibility for this task, they will be turning to many on the campus for advice, counsel and assistance. I know they can count on the help of all in this important endeavor. Our progress in developing the self-study will be shared through this web site as well as regular updates by committee and team members.
I look forward to the report's submission, and also to the positive reaction I have absolutely no doubt that it will garner from NEASC.
Warm wishes,
James W. Schmotter

Away Fans + Day Trippers @ the OS (in the LOWER TIER!!)All you need to know about West Ham United FC's potential move to Stratford.
Moderators: Rio, Gnome, chalks, -DL-, bristolhammerfc, the pink palermo
Away Fans + Day Trippers @ the OS (in the LOWER TIER!!)
I've read some very disturbing stuff recently which suggests the club are actually contemplating the accommodation of opposition supporters in the LOWER TIER at the OS!!
This would be mind-bogglingly stupid, even by West Ham standards.
It's well-known that with few exceptions, the Lower Tier tickets, closest to the pitch will be the most highly sought-after. Given that there's apparently only going to be 19,000 Lower Tier seats available, would the club really be so retarded as to not address the home support demand first, before even thinking about away fans??
I'm a Lower Tier STH @ The Boleyn, and this would be the tipping point for me. If I don't get a Lower Tier seat @ the OS, I'm not going at all. It's as simple as that.
Quite apart from anything else, why would you even wish to disadvantage your own team @ home by putting rival fans as close as they possibly can be to the pitchside??
Put your home fans first and for the away support stick 'em in a Corner of the Top Tier, where they can be the least bothersome and effective:

What have been saying . Shove them up in the gods and away from the action
Up to 8000 away fans behind the goal crazy.
Still we will all be wearing half and half scarves soon so it won't matter.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
Is that the same gods away from the action that thousands of our supporters will be sitting, along with their binoculars.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
Sadly yes. The club should be accomodating our fans first and giving them the best seat options before even thinking about sorting out the away fans.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
Don't forget the Premier League rules mean that they are not allowed to be charged more than home fans in comparable seats.
Effectively they have to be in the cheapest seats available.
At the Boleyn this behind the goal, lower tier.
At the OS I doubt very much this will be the case.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
Screwed either way.
Like you I'm BML and won't go if I can't STAND in the lower tier
At the same time, sticking away fans up in the gods will make the atmosphere even sh*tter. But I'd be incensed if they got lower tier at the expense of season ticket holders/those who currently are lower at Boleyn
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
I think we have around 23,000 STHs?
Admittedly some STHs may prefer being in the Upper Tier, but it's possible the club won't even be able to accommodate the STH demand for the 19,000 Lower Tier spaces, let alone any other WH fans including members!
Letting Away fans down there would really beggar belief..
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
From the planning applications...
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
Incorrect mate, you can put away supporters where you want, but can't charge them more than you would home fans within the same stand / section.
At places like Villa away supporters aren't in the cheap seats.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
I agree. Give them the same treatment we get at Newcastle where you need an oxygen mask to breath as the airs so thin up in the away section and the players look like ants on a Subbuteo pitch.
I think having the away fans as far up as possible from the pitch stops us having to watch opposition players celebrating a goal/win with their fans too.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
I still think the away fans will be behind the goal because of segregation, there are no concourses on the upper tier so they will not want them sharing concourses with the fans below them, it will be easier to isolate them behind the goal as there will be no fans behind to share the concourse with, I hope the club has a way of solving this and puts them high in a corner.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
They 100% will, planning permission shows it...
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
Putting them in relatively the same position as we do now.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
Lower tier will be in much higher demand than present.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
So we put them in the upper tier, to throw coins on us ?
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
With the gap between the Upper and Lower tier it will need to be a decent shot!
Joking aside they will be split between the Upper and Lower anyway, plenty of clubs have supporters in the upper tier and incidents are few and far between.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
Do you mean home fans in the upper with away in lower, or away fans in both upper and lower ?
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
I reckon the away support will be in both upper and lower tier.
The planning documents only show the lower tier when showing the different allocations though so who knows.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
I suppose from a sales point of view, they will first sell in the lower tier first for a guaranteed sale of a more expensive ticket then expand across then up to the season ticket areas depending upon demand.
Rather that sell season tickets at reduced rates in the area.
I know you say that coin incidents are few and far between but it's probably not worth the risk in the club and polices opinion.
Re: Away Fans @ the OS
Where is the away support at old trafford and the emirates, two of the most sought after tickets in the premiership, not in the upper tiers, not sure why but there must be a reason for this.

Larry Fitzgerald's immense talents were wasted last season.
The Arizona Cardinals receiver couldn't make up for the team's revolving door at quarterback during a campaign that flew off the rails in a hurry.
"It was the most frustrating season, or time, I've ever had," Fitzgerald told Bruce Cooper of The Arizona Republic. "Professionally ... or even in college, I've never had a year like that. It was tough mentally, physically it was tough, but it builds resolve. I know I never want to go through a season like that personally, or as a team, and I'm going to do everything in my power to not ever repeat that."
Fitzgerald quickly has warmed to new coach Bruce Arians. The team's new offensive-minded coach scattered Kevin Kolb, John Skelton and Brian Hoyer to the wind, replacing that train wreck with veteran Carson Palmer and backup Drew Stanton.
Palmer, from all angles, is a mixed bag, but Arians has proven he can squeeze the most out of his signal-callers. Fitzgerald sounds sold.
|See where players rank in the Top 100 Players of 2013.
"It's important, it's just stability. That's all you can ask for in this game, is just stability. Someone who knows what he's doing, who's accountable, who's reliable. I mean from the first day he stepped in the huddle ... he has a tempo, he has a mentality, a demeanor in the huddle that demands respect of his peers. When you look in his eyes, you know he's a leader. ... I'm excited to be playing receiver for him."
And for Arians, who found new ways to use Indianapolis Colts wideout Reggie Wayne last season and will do the same with the Cardinals. Fitzgerald was seen lining up in the slot and all over the formation during workouts this week, and he's a strong candidate for a revival in 2013.

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
"Our industry relies on the capabilities of companies like West Valley for helping us to develop and produce products quickly and accurately. We've sent drawings of parts to West Valley with such demanding tolerances and conditions that I was sure they would politely decline to quote. We are no longer surprised by their reasonable quotes, fast delivery and, most importantly, outstanding quality of these difficult parts."
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
"We routinely rely on West Valley to provide us with the parts used in our optical systems designs. The components range in size from extremely small parts used in optical fiber communications applications to large aspherical projection lenses. These are tight tolerance applications requiring careful attention to concentricity and flatness in addition to the usual machining issues. From common materials such as aluminum or stainless steel to exotics such as kovar and invar, West Valley has the knowledge and experience necessary to provide us with the quality we require."

Hi Dear Friends,
Long post with no prettiness!
I am going to take the next couple of weeks off from blogging.
I have tried to write this post several times now but, keep breaking down. so, I am sorry that I am giving you such short notice regarding the Thrifty Things Friday party cancellation.
I am going to try to type this as quickly as possible so I make it through it.
As most of you know we have raised Lia (the princess) since she was 7 weeks old. She is the love of our life.
After little to no contact and no support, her bio mom, Amber decided she wants Lia. We recently went through a long and exhausting trial regarding custody.
We had to prove the 11 main "in the best interest of the child" factors of the custody guidelines. We proved all of those above and beyond any doubt.
During the trial, while Ray, Amber's husband was on the stand he testified that not only is he a convicted child abuser but, it was so bad that he was forced to give his child (from a different relationship) up for adoption. He further testified that he has been diagnosed with severe mental diseases/illnesses. He also testified that he is not getting any therapy for these issues.
Amber testified that she works graveyard shift therefore, all night long Lia will be left with this convicted child abuser that she doesn't even know.
There are a lot and I do mean a LOT more horrific things we discovered during this trial. I don't have the energy to get into them now.
Once the trial was over the judge, Susan L. Hubbard (Wayne County, Third Circuit Court, Detroit) stated she would get back with us in 2–3 weeks regarding her opinion.
We waited and heard nothing for 3 weeks. Last week we got a call from our attorney's office. They just received a notice from Judge Hubbard stating that she wanted to continue the trial and interview Lia. We did not receive this notice. Apparently, I believe it was just faxed to our attorney's office. We had less than 7 days notice regarding this.
At the previous trial, we had asked the judge to do a video interview with Lia and the judge said "No, she is too young."
Our hearts dropped. We could feel something was very wrong with this.
All this time, we have protected Lia from knowing anything was going on. We protected her from the ugliness that was being fought out in the court. She is just a little girl and deserves to just be happy. Unfortunately, we had to tell her about going to talk to a judge and the reasons behind it.
She was so scared but, Troy and I kept reassuring her that she would be fine. Just go in and tell the truth. No pretending or playing around.
At 2:15 this past Monday, Lia was taken into Judge Hubbards chambers by a Wayne County Deputy. our attorney went to escort her in and the deputy informed him he was not allowed in the room. He was surprised by this. I went to sit in the courtroom. Amber was sitting in there as well. The next thing I know the deputy escorted Amber back to the judges chamber. Our attorney started heading that way as well since Amber was not allowed to go back with Lia and the Judge without our attorney present. Instead the deputy handed our attorney a packet of papers.
Judge Hubbard had ALREADY made a judgment against us. This entire thing was a ruse.
Hubbard (I can no longer refer to her as a "Judge") did NOT consider any factors regarding the welfare of Lia. She dismissed anything that had to do with her best interest. instead she decided to say that our original guardianship was not valid. This was decided over four years ago in a completely different court system and she did not pull any of those earlier transcripts to discover the basis of our guardianship.
Hubbard obviously could not care less that Lia was going to complete strangers and into a child abusive environment.
Everyone was completely stunned over this judicial misconduct. But, to top it all off, we discovered that the whole point of bringing Lia to court was so Hubbard could literally steal her, hand her over to Amber and then send them down a back way. We were not even told any of this!
Hubbard hid in her chambers and refused to even speak to our attorney. Amber's attorney came to us and said he needed Lia's coat. that is how we discovered that they were stealing Lia without her even knowing what was happening or saying goodbye.
We raced down to the lobby and there sat Amber and Lia guarded by 6-8 deputies waiting for their car.
My parents were with us. I honestly didn't care if a deputy shot me on site, I was going to at least give Lia, the little girl that I have raised her entire life, a hug. I was crying and shaking so bad. Lia asked me what was wrong. I tried my hardest to sound okay for her. I told her she was going to go on an adventure for awhile. NOBODY had told her what was going on. She did NOT know that Amber was stealing her away that moment to Utah. Yes, she was taking her 1700 miles away!
Lia looked at me with this beautiful innocent face and said, "Mama, I don't want to go away from you and Papa. You said everything was going to be okay". She started crying.
My heart shattered into a million pieces at that moment. She had put all of her faith and belief into Troy and I. And God help me, I couldn't protect her!
It seems quite clear that Amber had previous knowledge of what Hubbards intentions were because she arrived with two car seats to take Lia away.
God I can't stop crying!
They took her with just the clothes on her back. Nothing else. Hubbard did not even care if she had any type of medicine that she needed. Amber didn't care about that either. Neither of them asked about Lia's health. They didn't care. They didn't ask if we would gather some of Lia's things together so she would at least have something that was hers and might bring her some comfort.
Needless to say, there were a great did of illegal things that happened during this vile situation. We have retained yet another attorney to start legal proceedings to get Lia back. WE WILL NEVER STOP TRYING TO GET HER BACK!!!!!
Troy and I have tried our hardest to keep everything low key and civil. And that took Lia away from us. Guess what? The gloves are off! The legal system just betrayed us but, more importantly they put a little girl's life in danger. I have NO trust or faith in the legal system anymore. I just witnessed the people whom we are suppose to trust commit horrendous crimes against an innocent and beautiful little girl.
All of this is of public record. So, I am no longer going to try to play nice and not talk about it.
Amber reads this blog. Early on in the beginnings of this trial, she actually listed as HER witness EVERY reader of The Thrifty Groove. Yup, you read that correctly. Why you ask? Because I did a post that asked for your prayers and good thoughts regarding this trial. I gave a simple summary of what happened. I used no names. But, now I will use names. Because like I said, it is all public record.
I am angry, heartbroken, disillusioned and completely sick over all of this.
The fight has just begun. It has already been an extremely painful and expensive fight and it just got worse. As any one who has had to go through anything similar to this and hire an attorney that specializes in appeals knows, the legal fees are through the roof. But, we had no choice! We are talking about Lia. My family jumped in to help get together the retainer fees so we could get an attorney on this right away.
Although Amber Haning doesn't feel she needs to pay her bills, we do. We received a notice months ago from her original attorney stating he was going in front of the judge to have himself removed from the case due to the fact that Amber wouldn't pay him. And "lack of communication". Amber also has not paid child support that was ordered years ago. We are talking about a lousy $25.00 a week for the child she says she loves so much. Once again, ALL PUBLIC RECORD.
Can you tell I am angry? It beats throwing up constantly, not sleeping and continuously crying. Which has been the norm here for the last 3 days.
And we all know the lack of speed when it comes to the courts, so this will take time.
My entire family is destroyed over this. Everyone's lives just stopped earlier this week. This is Lia's family and these are the people who REALLY love her.
Since we have hired a specialized attorney and handed him over free rein, there is little else we can do at this point.
It has felt like a death here. But, it is NOT! What I personally can do is make sure that I take care of myself. I need to be stronger than I ever have been. I HAVE to do this for Lia. She WILL come back home where she belongs!
We have a family tradition of all of us going up to our cabin for Thanksgiving. Lia was so looking forward to this. When everything happened earlier this week, we basically (as a family) cancelled Thanksgiving. But, I realized at some point that if we did this, we allowed the monsters who were involved in this disgrace to win. Lia needs her true family to be strong. We, as a family, need to pull together even more than normal.
So, we are going up to the cabin. Lia will be with us in spirit. And I just need to take a break from everything and heal a bit.
So, I am not going to be blogging for a couple of weeks. I am not closing my blog. My blog is an escape for me and I need it. But, I need some time.
I hope you all understand.
On a side note. I will really be focusing on selling a lot of items. Normally I would say something cute like "I want to sell these things so I have more spending money for future treasures". But, that is not true. The honest truth is, the financial burden we now have is daunting at the very least. this is our slow time for our business so, every cent will be used to help bring Lia back home. I will do anything and everything I can to make this happen.
Our business, DTL Herbs (which stands for Diann, Troy, Lia) will continue to sell the products that Lia has made. She made some cat toys, and reindeer food, so that she could donate money to a local animal shelter that she has friended. We will continue her work and continue to support her charity.
My personal prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, please watch over Lia. Please keep her safe. Please give her the strength she needs to get through this frightening time in her life. I ask you to guide her and stand with her. I ask that you give her comfort when I can't. I ask you to protect this innocent child of yours. Keep her heart pure and body strong. I ask you to guide two of your fallen children, Amber and Ray. Although they have denied you, I know you won't abandoned them. Please, through your love, keep Lia safe. I ask that you show Troy and I guidance, strength and courage through this ordeal. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen.
Please pray for Lia and for us. Keep us in your good thoughts. Thank you.
Diann and Troy

Doesn't seem like we have a running-thread which is quite odd. Well, I'd understand since I really don't like running.
But, I still signed up for a marathon 2 weeks ago and ran it today. Having never run more than 12 kilometres at once, this kind of a big challenge. Don't get me wrong, it would obviously be very hard, but it seemed i underestimated it quite a lot. I was under the assumption that I was en very good shape (despite not really running) and just needed to pace myself well. After all, I could run 4:40/km on 12 kilometres and 4:00/km on 5! I know, not very impressive, but better than I've run for many years.
My goal initially was 4 hours, but that was quickly out the window. I could feel it right from the start, my heartrate would be rather high, but I'd still continue to run a pace much higher than 5:40 (that should have been 6:00, really) that I had planned in order to finish in 4 hours. I guess the clapping and the emotion got the better of me. Meanwhile, I was thinking to myself (you think ALOT during a marathon) that I was no Skybot and ran on instinct rather than on watts and km/minute. What a fool I was. Always be a Skybot in that situation and never Contador. It has to be boring the first 10 kilometres, the pace slow, but yeah. You got do get that experience firsthand, it doesn't matter if you read it on the internet or your running mates tell you.
So I completely bonked after 25 km, we are talking about Landis on La Touissuire and Ullrich on Galibier-levels combined. The only difference being Ullrich actually raced the best climber ever while I raced old men and women who beat be comfortably. Went from 6 min/km to 8 min/km and was close to retiring multiple times, but somehow pulled through.. honestly, I don't know why I continued, but it feels great. Apart from the pain when Im going to the toilet or want to make me food. I have the feeling I'll never be the same again.
Anyways, it confirmed that a) you actually need to train for a marathon and b) i like my bike better. Not really surprising conclusions, but what an experience. You can find the run on Strava, Andreas Riis. Running time is 4:40, but I completely in exactly 5:00 due to long breaks in the end.
