Nov. 15, 2004
LEWISBURG, Pa. - Despite a superb effort, MIT water polo concluded its season with three, tough losses at the 2004 Eastern Championships. Tech came just short of completing the biggest upset of the weekend over top-ranked Princeton in the opening round, then fell to Salem International and Brown University in the consolation bracket.
Returning to the Eastern Championship for only the second time in school history should have been reward enough for the Engineers. As the only Division III school to advance to the Elite 8 of the east coast, the goals set by the new coaching staff were reached. Just like last year,
In the consolation round, MIT fell to Salem International, 10-8. The Engineers trailed 4-1 early in the contest, but fought back to take a 6-5 lead. But
In the seventh-place game, MIT fell to Brown, 10-9. MIT utilized all of its players against teh Bears, with freshman goalie Rob Truax getting his second start of the season. Truax had seven saves, including two spectacular counter-attack stops for the Engineers. Scoring for the Engineers were Dave Lohrey, Alexi Zykov, and John Rogers who each lit the lamp twice, and Dan Jacobs, Grady Snyder, and Morgan Laidlaw, who contributed one each.
"I think to finish off the season with everyone getting to play in the final game was great for the future of the program" said Coach Omar Amr. "This senior class is very special and unselfish. They have laid a great foundation for this program. Every victory from here on out, and any success we have in the postseason in years to come, will be attribute to this class. It will be hard to replace them in the pool and even harder in the locker room."
Playing their final game for the Engineers were Dave Lohrey, Dan Jacobs, Alexi Zykov, Bruce DiBello, and Andrew Whitehead.
"We plan on being a permanent fixture at Easterns" added Coach Felix Mercado, "and I think all the other schools realize that."

Israel Shoots Down Tel Aviv-Bound Rocket [VIDEO]
The Israeli military says its "Iron Dome" rocket-defense system has shot down an incoming projectile bound for Tel Aviv.
Footage from Associated Press Television News shows a plume of smoke emanating from an Iron Dome battery deployed in Tel Aviv followed by a flash of light overhead as the rocket is intercepted.
People huddled along Tel Aviv's beachfront boardwalk cheered Saturday as the interception took place.
It's the third straight day that Gaza militants have fired rockets at Tel Aviv, Israel's bustling commercial and cultural capital.
Israel says its Iron Dome system has intercepted nearly 250 rockets since a round of fighting broke out on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a health official in Gaza says Israeli strikes today have killed 12 people, including eight militants, and wounded dozens more. Israel's military says it has carried out nearly 200 airstrikes today against more than 800 targets in Gaza.
In all, 42 Palestinians and three Israeli civilians have been killed since the Israel began its military operation Wednesday with the assassination of the ruling Hamas militant group's military chief after days of heavy rocket fire from Gaza.
White House: Israel has right to defend itself
The White House says it believes Israel "has the right to defend itself" against attack and that the Israelis will make their own decisions about their "military tactics and operations."
A top aide to President Barack Obama tells reporters traveling with the president to Asia on Air Force One that the U.S. and Israel both want an end to the rocket fire that's coming from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes says Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agree that "de-escalation is preferred," provided that Hamas stops firing into Israel.
Obama has spoken with the leaders of Egypt and Turkey, too.
Rhodes says they "have the ability to play a constructive role in engaging Hamas" and encouraging a de-escalation of the attacks.

We've partnered with the Wheels 4 Life charity of mountain bike legend Hans Rey and his wife Carmen for a few years now, and we're excited to be able to share some of the results. Wheels 4 Life is a non-profit charity that provides free bicycles for people in need of transportation in developing countries. They partner with local individuals, organizations and other groups to help identify persons who sincerely need a bike to be able to go to school or to work. Find out more about upcoming projects and how you can help on http://www.wheels4life.org/ – but we'll let Hans himself tell you why this work is so important, in this video from Interbike last year:
Our main avenue of supporting the mission of Wheels 4 Life is by the Wheels 4 Life branded GT bikes that we offer on our site & in our stores. A portion of the cost of each bike goes directly to Wheels 4 Life and helps fund their many projects around the globe – so far over 170 bikes have been purchased in Africa with these funds, bicycles that will make a difference for entire families and communities in real and lasting ways.
We'll let Carmen Rey tell you more about the projects that were funded by our Wheels 4 Life branded GT bikes, and how they are making a difference already:
The amount raised through the Wheels 4 Life bicycles sold by Performance enabled us to purchase 170 bicycles for people in really great need of transportation in Uganda. We funded 3 different projects thanks to you and your support of the work we are doing.
The first was implemented in February 2012. This was the Kyatiri Health Centre Project and saw us donate 25 bicycles to the health care center. They then went on to distribute them to their patients so that they would be able to travel to the health clinic faster and easier. These patients live in remote areas and have to travel quite a distance in order to see a nurse who can administer their treatments.
Our Wheels 4 Life Ugandan Ambassador, Mr. Jude Muleke, has managed the second project. He heads a registered CBO known as CBIRD for short. Jude has received funding for bicycles from us several times in the past and also assists us with the running of our various projects in Uganda.
The third and final project was with Voluntary Effort for Community Health (VECH Uganda). This is the first time that we have worked with VECH and we have been pleased with the way that they have administered their Wheels 4 Life project. With both CBIRD and VECH the bicycles went to various groups in our target area: school children, farmers, and people in need of transportation in order to work.
We always purchase the bicycles used in our projects in the area where they will be distributed, in order to aid the local economy, to save on transportation costs, and to make sure that spare parts are easily available.
Thank you so much for changing so many lives through the gift of bicycles. One bike helps change the life of approximately 4 people's lives – not just the one person who originally receives the bike, but also their neighbors and family with whom the bike is shared.

I did a quick overlay of the D80 and the D90 in PS.
Most of the buttons and dials are in exactely the same position. The only mayor difference is the selector and that is a real tricky one to mod.
Yes, the (multi) selector and the Focus selector lock. I leave the focus selector unlock, but I do use the selector a lot. Looks like a new back is required.

They told me some teams went to that Travel Agency to book a bus into the jungle. I can't exactly say that I saw the TAR 8 teams, but I did learn that they took that bus into the nearby jungle to perform either a detour or roadblock. Hope this helps, and like I said, I can't verify this, but I hope it's true!!!

As much as last night's epic 20-inning victory – anything 20 innings plus is epic – has been written and mentioned as being a catalyst to turn around this sluggish season, it means nothing unless the Mets can sustain.
That means John Maine must step up, perhaps unlike at any other time during his career with the Mets, and pitch big tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Mets exhausted their bullpen last night for 13 innings, and despite pitching one inning, Francisco Rodriguez was spent after throwing 100 pitches in an up-and-down evening warming in the pen.
If a starter won't throw the next day after throwing 100 pitches, the same could be for Rodriguez tonight.
Maine, who seems to hyperventilate around the third or fourth inning, needs at least six, better seven innings tonight. He needs it for a lot of reasons, including to silence the Dillon Gee whispers.
You see, Maine isn't pitching tonight to save the bullpen as much as he is his spot in the rotation. While it is likely Maine, barring a disaster, will get another start after this, manager Jerry Manuel has done nothing to dispel the speculation.
Aware of ramifications of a third hammering, Maine went to the videotape to look at his mechanics and pitch selection from 2007, when he won 15 games. Fundamentally, Maine concluded if he's going down it would be with his fastball, which has atrophied after falling in love with his off-speed and breaking balls.
"I'm fine, my shoulder is fine,'' Maine said after the Colorado debacle. " I know the No. 1 priority is to get back and throw my fastball. That's what I'm going to do in my bullpen. That's what I'm going to do in my next start I'm going to get back to where I was.''
Maine looked at everything from wind-up to delivery to release point and said he's going back to his 2007 delivery and with it, hopefully that year's fastball. Where Maine once touched the radar gun at 94 mph, he topped out at 91 in his last start, Tuesday night's meltdown in Colorado.
"I'm just going to go back to that delivery, going back to throwing the fastball,'' Maine said. "Hopefully it turns out fine. I may get hit, but, you know, at least I know I'm going out there, getting beat with my best pitch and not my second and third pitch.''
Maine, 0-1 with a 13.50 ERA, has given up 12 runs in eight innings in his two starts, including eight runs in three innings at Colorado Tuesday.
"It's hard. I'm doing my stuff in between starts," Maine said. "I'm doing the right things. I just can't put it together. … This is awful right now."
Tonight's line-up for the Mets (4-7):
Jose Reyes, SS
Alex Cora, 2B
David Wright, 3B
Frank Catalanotto, 1B
Jeff Francoeur, RF
Gary Matthews, CF
Rod Barajas, C
Angel Pagan, LF
John Maine, RP
NOTES: Mike Jacobs was designated for assignment to make room for reliever Tobi Stoner, who was brought up to bolster their depleted bullpen. It's obvious the Mets won't go with a Fernando Tatis-Catalanotto platoon, so expect Ike Davis to be promoted. By designating Jacobs for assignment, the Mets open a spot on their 40-man roster.

The Colts and 2012 No. 1 draft pick Andrew Luck completed the final details on a four-year contract worth $22.2 million with a fifth-year club option.
Luck enters training camp as the Colts' starting quarterback four months after Peyton Manning was released and signed as a free agent by the Denver Broncos. Luck was a two-time runner-up in Heisman Trophy ballotting during his three-year record-setting career at Stanford.
Luck signed one day after the Redskins and No. 2 pick Robert Griffin III agreed to a contract that didn't include offset language, the team-friendly contract stipulation that doesn't allow players to earn money from the team that drafted them when released if they sign with another team.
It wasn't known if Luck's contract eliminated the offset stipulation, but indications were Luck's structure does not include the offset provision.
Last year's top overall pick, Cam Newton, signed a four-year, $22 million deal with the Panthers.
The Colts can trigger the fifth year of the deal at the value of the franchise designation for quarterbacks, which is the average of the top 10 salaries at the position.

New London business owners seek answers from mayor
New London — Downtown business owners, property owners and residents filled the City Council chambers this morning for the first of two community forums to air their frustrations with City Hall and to take the first step in finding a solution.
They asked Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio whether businesses are a priority for the city and said they want the city's help in ending "neglect" downtown.
Finizio said he called the forums to hear the concerns and ideas of the downtown community to move the city forward.
Business owners have cited a number of issues that they say cause direct harm to their businesses, including: garbage collection, snow removal, parking, a diminished police presence downtown and an unreceptive city administration.
"These problems have an immediacy to them and we ask that the city works with the City Center District to solve them," said George Dowker, president of the City Center District. "We believe the cause of the problem is the lack of enforcement of city ordinances, which are inadequate."
Dowker asked that the city commit to working with City Center District to review and revise the relevant city ordinances and the enforcement of them.
"I still believe the opportunities before us are much greater than the challenges," the mayor said. "But the challenges are there and need to be addressed."
Jack Chaplin, who runs Chaplin's restaurant on Bank Street, said, "The bottom line is [whether] businesses are a priority for the city because they drive tourism, they drive economics for the city."
Issues with trash collection and snow removal, Finizio said, stem from the fact that the city simply does not have enough employees in the Department of Public Works and other city departments to do a garbage pickup and plow the streets during a snowstorm. Likewise, there are not enough police officers for the department to have a constant presence downtown.
"Our staffing levels are low, we know that. This was, in part, to balance our budget. Staffing has been cut across the city," Finizio said. "It needs to be restored for services to be restored."
Finizio said he believes the minimum staffing level for the police department should be 80 officers and he will fund the department at that level in his next budget request.
Though business owners expressed frustration with the state of affairs, they also urged the mayor to work with them to fix many of the issues.
"I'm here for one reason, I think, in summation, it's simply a matter of neglect. What I'm hearing are excuses," said Antonio Suarez, owner of Northern Light Gems on State Street. "What I'm hoping will come out today is not a reason why it has happened, but a solution."
Suarez said part of the problem is that there is not a feeling of partnership between downtown businesses and City Hall.
To fix many of the issues addressed at the forum, Finizio said, city residents may have to bear the burden of a tax increase.
"What we had was a system where we were spending but we were not matching it with revenues we were collecting honestly, we were taking it out of the kitty and the kitty ran out," Finizio said. "Now we're at a point where we have a tough choice to make. How much harm does the tax increase potentially do you versus how much harm does not having the cops or not having the infrastructure repairs do you? ... That's the debate we're about to enter into as a community."
Editor's Note: New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said he wore a hat during two City Hall forums on Wednesday to cover "sparring-related bruises and injuries" he suffered while boxing recently in New York.

MPAA Starts Backing Away, Slowly, From Bogus Piracy Stats (But New Bogus Stats Are On Their Way)
from the about-time dept
It appears that so many people now realize that the MPAA's claims on "losses" from piracy are so ridiculous that even the MPAA has decided not to use those numbers any more. Buried in a longer Wall Street Journal piece by Carl Bialik is this tidbit:
But the MPAA is focusing elsewhere, and no longer citing the earlier studies, after an internal review that followed the SOPA debate, MPAA spokesman Howard Gantman said. "At the current time we do not actively cite the figures directly relating to movie piracy, as the landscape has changed significantly since these studies were conducted both regarding the growth of broadband and the development of streaming technology, as well as the introduction of hundreds of new sites world-wide for viewing legal online content," Gantman said.That's not to say that the MPAA has suddenly become reasonable. The rest of that article highlights other, highly questionable, attempts by the MPAA to justify its maximalist agenda, including new research, some of which seems to rely on similarly questionable methodology. But, at the very least, it appears that the "old" bogus numbers have been so discredited that even the MPAA won't use them any more.

for his only catch of the day, a 25-yard touchdown that got the
scoring started.

FRANKLIN, Ind. – Top-ranked and two-time defending NCAA Division III football champion Wisconsin-Whitewater scored four touchdowns in the second quarter and stifled the Grizzlies' offense in a 45-0 decision at Faught Stadium today.
The Warhawks, ranked No. 1 in the D3football.com Top 25 poll, improved to 2-0, claiming their 32nd straight victory. The Grizzlies, 21st this week in the same ranking, dropped to 1-1.
Whitewater rolled up 473 yards of total offense, including 307 on the ground, while the Warhawks' defense forced four Franklin turnovers – two of which led to touchdowns – and limited the Grizzlies to 198 total yards. FC gained just 40 yards rushing.
After senior quarterback Matt Blanchard hit sophomore receiver Steve Morris with a 25-yard touchdown pass late in the opening quarter, the Warhawks tacked on four TDs in the second period.
Junior running back Desmin Ward scored on a 2-yard run, senior tailback Levell Coppage ran in for touchdowns of 15 and five yards and Ward reached the end zone again on a one-yard play.
Whitewater tallied the only touchdown of the second half when Blanchard rolled out and connected with junior fullback Bernie Tamsett on a 2-yard scoring toss. Sophomore kicker Eric Kindler rounding out the visitors' scoring barrage with a 31-yard field goal early in the fourh quarter.
Coppage rushed 18 times for 119 yards and two scores and Ward ran for 71 yards and two TDs on 17 carries. Blanchard completed 13 of 18 passes for 128 yards and two TDs. Junior wide receiver Tyler Huber had five receptions for 55 yards.

I hope your next Shopify version includes quantity discount pricing. We sell railroad calendars and the price depends upon the quantity; four different price levels. Our rep has improvised this for us, but we'd like to see it included within the scope of the Shopify program.
Also, why the light blue background on the product keyword list? We have a lot of keywords and it is eye-numbing trying to pick out words with that back ground. What's wrong with white letters on a black background as opposed to the current white letters on a light blue background?

Harold Pinter's absorbing one-act play "Betrayal" is given a fine interpretation at Kevin Broccoli's Epic Theatre. The three-character play, not counting Broccoli's brief appearance as a waiter, is being performed in the small space at the Hope Artiste Village, 999 Main St., Pawtucket.
Director Tray Gearing has turned the space into seven venues, covering nine short scenes that play backwards from present day to an incident that happened nine years ago. Don't let that confuse you. Pinter's brilliant and concise writing and Gearing's directing make the play, which lasts just over an hour, work smoothly.
"Betrayal" is a play that should be on everybody's "must see" list. It is often performed with another one-act play, and it is currently being revived on Broadway.
"Betrayal" is just what the title says. Robert's best friend, Jerry, betrays him by having an affair with his wife, Emma. We see how it all ends in the first scene, and then travel backward to how it all began. The dialogue is crisp, the acting very good and the scene changes smooth. (You can follow them in your program.) A simple change of a tablecloth, movement of furniture or clothing change makes it easy to follow.
Guilt, suspicion, lust, anger, rage and even disinterest are all emotions that spill over as all three characters deal with betrayal. Chris Conte as Robert, Melanie Stone as his wife and Mark Gentsch as his friend and his wife's lover all come together in a moving ensemble piece that will make the hour fly by.
"Betrayal" has a short run through May 4 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15, $12 for students.

Time magazine's new interview with Michelle Obama (who also snags the cover) manages to be extremely thorough and very interesting without once asking the First Lady about designer dresses or shoes.
Actually, the dress she wore to the congressional speech is mentioned, but there's so much more — from who walks Bo (she does in the morning; the President does the "last walk" at 10pm) — to what Michelle misses about her life "before." ("The anonymity of just living your life and making choices and decisions, and moving through the world without sort of constant commentary. That was nice.")
But the best parts are when Michelle is talking about her status as a role model for girls, for women, and for people. She tells the story of growing up on the South Side of Chicago and not knowing anything about the University of Chicago:"It was sort of like another world that didn't belong to me," she explains.
And there are so many institutions like that around the world, and so many kids like that who are living inches away from power and prestige and fame and fortune, and they don't even know that it exists. And the White House, all these wonderful buildings, these monuments and capitols ... I'm sure there are children who feel that way. I'm sure there are people in this country who feel the same way about these places that I did about the University of Chicago.
And I have probably dedicated more of my life to trying to break down those barriers for people. I think that might be one of the small themes in my professional life, is to try to be the bridge so that more people feel like they have access; that their voice, that their faces, that their worlds count in places like this, and that there is understanding across those divides. And as I grew up and came to work in those places, right, and got to know them, I realized that the misunderstanding or the disconnect goes both ways; that folks outside of these communities have no idea what goes on within these institutions, and sometimes the people in the institutions have no real understanding of the people who live outside. You know, everybody is dealing in these misperceptions about one another because there is no bridge.
Michelle also discusses how she'd like to inspire females: "How powerful would it be for young girls to come into this space and hear from other really powerful, impressive, dynamic women, and to have that conversation go on here in the White House?"
But the First Lady is emphatic about the fact that she is not that special, fairly normal, really:
My mother said this in an interview and I completely agree with her, and it's something that, you know, I want young people to remember, is that ... my mom said in this Essence article, Michelle and Barack aren't new; there are thousands of Michelle and Barack Obamas all over this nation. And that is true ... I know them, I've gone to school with them, I live with them.
So the truth is, is that there are thousands of role models like me. I just happen to be the First Lady. So that's why I feel like I have a responsibility because people see me, but every single day there are people doing what I'm doing. When I visit a health care organization or a youth center or a service project, those heroes are working, they're serving on their boards, they're packing the boxes, they're teaching in the schools. And again, those are the people who have the real opportunity to impact because they'll be with those kids each and every day.
…It's just reminding us as a nation that you don't have to be the First Lady, you don't have to have the title to do the work and ... because it's happening all over the place.
And of course, on one hand, she's right. If you look, there are inspiring stories of smart, successful people — many of them people of color — all over this country. But of course, no one is as high-profile as the Obamas right now. Yet, by spinning her story as an American story, the First Lady demonstrates what is so awe-inspiring about her: The intelligence, the humility, the elegance with which she conducts herself.
Of course, the interview wouldn't be complete without an awesome "Mom in Chief"-type anecdote: When discussing the First Dog with her daughters, Michelle proclaimed:
I said it's on you if Bo eats Tiger or Blankie, which are two beloved characters in the household. It's on you. [Tiger and Blankie] have been members of the family for a long time.
So I just sort of told them, I said, you've seen what he does to stuff. He's a puppy, he doesn't know the sentimental value of your things. And if you leave your stuff somewhere, it will be destroyed, and there's nothing I can do about it. (Laughter.) So you can either close your door ... and they close the doors, religiously. So he's been good. But we try to set him up for success.

OT: Where can I customize my M Hockey jersey?
Does anyone know where I can get my adidas Maize hockey jersey (from 2008-09 - 2010-11 seasons) customized with a name and number on it? Is there a place to visit or a place I could send my jersey in to and they would letter it? The jersey looks like this:
And yes I would like to customize it so it is a Carl Hagelin jersey. He was one of my favorite Michigan players and also, last night he scored his 4th career NHL goal for the Rangers.
I'd greatly appreciate the help!

PARIS (Reuters) - French officials threw support behind former nuclear boss Anne Lauvergeon to be the first chairwoman of EADS EAD.PA on Sunday in a move likely to test efforts to wrest the European aerospace group away from political influence.
An adviser to French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said the Socialist government strongly supported Lauvergeon, a former aide of late President Francois Mitterrand and France's most high-profile female business leader.
EADS is carrying out the biggest reorganization in its 12-year history after France and Germany agreed on a new shareholder structure designed to secure their vital interests while freeing the company from day-to-day interference.
Company watchers say the composition of the board will test the spirit of the accords and determine whether Chief Executive Tom Enders is free to run the company as independently as he claims, or will be forced to rely on building alliances.
EADS shares are up 18 percent this year on hopes of a fresh start after years of political in-fighting.
"The government is very supportive (of Lauvergeon)," the French prime minister's adviser said.
"As shareholder, we think she has all the qualities required to be the non-executive chairwoman of EADS."
EADS declined comment.
Under a new ownership structure agreed late last year, France and Germany will own 12 percent each of EADS EAD.PA, the parent company of Toulouse-based planemaker Airbus, but their powers to veto nomination and strategy are curtailed.
Lauvergeon, ex-head of reactor maker Areva is one of two personalities lined up to represent France's interests at the Airbus parent group alongside ex-central banker Jean-Claude Trichet, but the choice of chairman is meant to be independent.
Echoing a newspaper report, another French government source said German Chancellor Angela Merkel had backed Lauvergeon in a meeting with French President Francois Hollande last week.
However, Merkel's office denied any deal over the EADS post.
"The German government does not want to take a stance (on this issue) for the time being," spokesman Steffen Seibert said in Chile where Merkel was attending an EU-Latin American summit.
Although Lauvergeon enjoys the backing of some French officials, the French finance ministry issued a statement apparently designed to cool speculation over the appointments and recalling a company-driven process agreed in December.
The December deal allows Enders to nominate a triumvirate designed to protect French defense interests in EADS, of which two would serve on the main board. The arrangement is mirrored by similar arrangements for Germany, which has parity in EADS.
The finance ministry said Enders had proposed Lauvergeon and Trichet, as well as a retired French general, to oversee a holding company protecting technologies like nuclear weapons.
Of these three, Lauvergeon and Trichet would, if the list were accepted, serve on the main board, it said in a statement.
Under the company restructuring, the government has the power to accept or reject the list in its entirety but cannot hand-pick individual members nor directly appoint the chairman.
Still, the appointment of a new board chairman is seen as a delicate balancing act.
As long as EADS is run by the German-born Enders, the chairman of the board is likely to be French.
An informal unpublished agreement also stipulates that four board seats each should be reserved for French and German citizens, according to two people familiar with the discussions. But two of the four on each side must be independent.
It remained unclear how Lauvergeon's status as state watchdog would affect her chances of becoming chairwoman, or how easily she would fit alongside Enders as CEO. Both have strong characters and a reputation for a hands-on management style.
People familiar with the accords say they do not exclude one of the government-endorsed board members also becoming chairman but warn this could create a potential political imbalance. This could leave the door open to an independent to lead the board.
Potential French independent board members include Alcatel-Lucent Chairman Philippe Camus, Saint-Gobain Honorary Chairman Jean-Louis Beffa and ex-Thales CEO Denis Ranque.
A French official said the government did not favor Camus for EADS, believing he had work to do turning round Alcatel.
Sources said German board members would include former business association leader Hans-Peter Keitel, former EADS chairman Manfredd Bischoff, former Deutsche Bank chief operating officer Hermann-Josef Lamberti and Enders himself as CEO.
Underscoring EADS efforts to become a global company, four remaining seats on the 12-person board are likely to include three existing members - British mining executive Sir John Parker, Indian-born steel boss Lakshmi Mittal and the Spanish economist Josep Pique i Camps - and possibly a U.S. citizen.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 28, 2014) – Maurice "Mo" Kelly is living the NFL dream.
Kelly, a defensive back letter winner for ETSU from 1990 to 1993, is preparing to make his second trip to the Super Bowl as a member of the Seattle Seahawks front office. The franchise's senior director for player development, Kelly has spent a decade with the Seahawks after finishing up a long professional playing career back in 2003.
"It's been crazy around here, but it's an exciting time in Seattle," said Kelly, who earned his degree in criminal justice from ETSU in the spring of 1994. "To have an opportunity to make it back to the Super Bowl is great, but it is a lot of work. I don't think a lot of people realize everything that goes into it – all the little details. It's kept us busy."
A four-year letter winner at ETSU, Kelly was an All Southern Conference performer in each of those seasons, collecting 10 career interceptions during his time with the Buccaneers. He also led the team with 135 tackles as a sophomore, while collecting the second-most stops on the team with 97 tackles during his senior season.
He went on to enjoy a professional playing career, spending several seasons in the Canadian Football League before signing with the Seahawks in 2000 and playing in the NFL for two seasons. It was following his time as a player that Kelly found a career in the team's front office.
"I can't believe it's been 10 years," said Kelly, who earned his degree in criminal justice from ETSU in the spring of 1994. "I knew when I got the call to interview for this job that it was the opportunity of a lifetime. It wasn't about the money or anything else. It was about getting a chance to break into the league again as part of management, because I had seen so many guys who finished their playing days and couldn't get back into the league. Those players didn't know what they were going to do with the rest of their lives, and that's a tough reality.
"So it's a blessing to be in this position today and I'm living a dream. I look at my job and truly believe that it's the best job in the world."
Kelly described his role with the Seahawks as "acting as a liaison between our players and coaches," saying that he is in many ways working in a role of that's equal parts mentor, financial advisor, relationship counselor and friend. He said he's often a major communication facilitator for players and coaches, as well as the team's front office – including the general manager.
Interestingly enough, beyond his days in the classroom at ETSU, Kelly said it was his time as a teammate and roommate in the dorms of the university that prepared him for his job today.
"I tell people all the time that I've been preparing for and doing this job all my life," Kelly said. "Even when I was at ETSU, I was a team captain and guys on the team just seemed to be hanging out in my room all the time. Guys would be asking questions about the dos and don'ts, about Johnson City and ETSU, and just asking for advice. I would see the good, the bad and the ugly, and that's exactly what I'm doing today. I get a chance to see guys grow up from being rookies to becoming team captains and leaders."
One of those players is All Pro defensive back Richard Sherman, who made national headlines following his postgame interview after the Seahawks win over the San Francisco 49ers in the AFC Championship. Kelly just laughed when asked about the team's raucous star.
"People get the wrong idea about Richard Sherman," Kelly said. "He is a very, very intelligent man, and from the day he walked into our office he said what he was going to do it, and he's done it. We've never had any issues from him off the field. Heck, he's a graduate of Stanford. He knows what he's doing, but it's been funny this week to sit in our office and just laugh at all the stories about him. Truthfully, he's as good as they come."
As ETSU begins the process of launching a new football program, Kelly said he is excited to see the team kickoff again.
"First and foremost, I can get into college football conversations with other people now," Kelly said. "In the past, guys would talk to me about their college teams and I couldn't be part of the conversation since we didn't have a team. But now we have a team again and something to be proud of. I've seen so many guys come through that program that are successful. The city and university means so much to us. To have it back gives pride to all of us that wore that Buccaneer helmet."

My Dad and I are just about to launch a property to market which has a spectacular pool… an Infinity pool directly on the bush! It's beautiful :)
I couldn't remember for the life of me what we called them. Lucky I share a desk with Georgia who pretty much has an answer for every question when it comes to pools. She is a proud pool owner and knows every possible variation. "You know the one where it looks like thd pool goes forever… and it just drops away without an edge and the water goes over the side like a waterfall." This was my description of the Infinity Edge Pool.
Just to make sure of spelling and details of our Infinity pool, I Googled them. I found this fantastic blog with a list of stunning pools from around the world.
I'm scrolling through the pools ooo'ing and wow'ing with Georgia and stumble across number 3 which was a pool I swam in while I was in Africa in 1997!! We stayed in Serena Lodge's everywhere we visited when we were on Safari. It started at Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Lake Manyara – all stunning!
I couldn't beleive it! Below is a photo of a photo (and very ordinary quality!), plus it is at a different angle… and maybe that hut isn't there anymore. Not only is this pool absolutely beautiful, I was told by some of the Lodge staff that they found a leopard drinking from this pool the following night. Crazy-town.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu from the cd, and after I run Wubi and restart, Ubuntu shows a few lines for a couple seconds, then the screen goes black and it never comes back. I've waited for almost half an hour and nothing happens, and the computer even acts idle.
I've tried a couple different cds with different kinds of Linux, and they all do the same thing except OpenSUSE and Knoppix. However, OpenSUSE gets stuck on the install at about 35%, and I could use Knoppix, but it doesn't work very well.
Any help would be appreciated!

HOUGHTON, Mich. – The Northern Michigan University men's and women's Nordic ski teams dominated the classic races at their season-opening meet, the Wildcat Open, on Saturday morning from the Michigan Tech Ski Trails. The races were originally scheduled for Al Quaal in Ishpeming but a lack of snow moved competition north. Michigan Tech and Green Bay also competed.
In the women's 5-kilometer race, the Wildcats took six of the top seven collegiate spots. Freshman Mary Kate Cirelli (18:55.0) won her first race in the Green in Gold, defeating teammate junior Jordyn Ross by 16 seconds.
Junior Rosie Frankowski finished third while sophomore Elizabeth Simak and freshman Megan Edic placed sixth and seventh. Freshman Malin Erickson was 10th and junior Karmen Whitham rounded out NMU's skiers in 15th.
The men raced a 10K with NMU taking the top four collegiate spots. Erik Soderman was the top finisher, crossing the line in 30:16.8. Sophomore Kyle Bratrud, senior Chris Bowler and junior George Cartwright placed three, four and five. Junior Ben Hugus (8th) was also in the top 10 while freshman Sam Eflstrom was 11th.
The 'Cats get back on the skis on Sunday for the freestyle races.

Remembrance Day: 11 November: 'Lest We Forget'
In the days leading up to 'Remembrance Day' you often see Canadians, particularly those of the older generations, wearing red poppies in their lapels. Over the years this day has been both widely celebrated and ignored. The notion of remembering dead soldiers has become politicized by some who choose to recognize it as a sign of support for war, particularly in light of the current participation of Canada in Afghanistan.
The red poppy is in fact a symbol of peace, or perhaps the desire for peace is a better way in which to frame it. The wearing of the poppy, together with an understanding of the phrase 'Lest We Forget", is meant to invoke a willingness to work together in order to create a peaceful world. Lest we forget the terrible price of war, we wear the poppy as a reminder of that cost. Perhaps it is an irrational notion to hope that human beings can actually learn from history, and stop trying to annihilate one another; the poppy stands as a marker of that hope. In my own life I have worked as a peace activist and wear the poppy as a symbol of my desire for peace.
Today I will wear it in tribute to the members of my family whose lives were affected by war, whether they were soldiers or citizens.

Thank you!
I think the Poppy came about from the poem "In Flanders Field" written by John McCrea. It was about how they grew in among the battlefield and cemeteries in Flanders where the Allied war dead were buried.ReplyDelete
Hi Carol and Claudia, Thanks for your comments. Claudia, while it is the case that the modern day wearing of the poppy was indeed inspired by the poem written by Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, it was initially adopted by the Canadian Legion as a symbol of peace and remembrance, thus the phrase "Lest We Forget". Also the association of the Poppy with those who had been killed in war has existed since the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before Canada adopted the symbol.ReplyDelete
Funny you should mention the poem because I was going to include the poem in this post; however, over time many people (including Wikipedia) have misquoted the first line of the poem saying in Flanders' Fields the poppies "grow" instead of the way McCrae wrote it which is "in Flanders' Fields the poppies blow", so I thought it best not to include it (in the interests of peace). The accurate poem is printed on the Canadian $10 bill in very small print (you need a magnifying glass to look at it), and an original draft of the poem is on display in a museum in Ottawa. Cheers! Jennifer
A lovely, graceful post about a day whose importance it is too easy to overlook or misunderstand. Thank you for reminding us of what this day is actually about.ReplyDelete

ASHEVILLE — Although it was just an exhibition basketball game, the Nick McDevitt era began Monday night at UNC Asheville's Kimmel Arena as the Bulldogs dominated Brevard College by a score of 86-45.
ASHEVILLE — Although it was just an exhibition basketball game, the Nick McDevitt era began Monday night at UNC Asheville's Kimmel Arena as the Bulldogs dominated Brevard College by a score of 86-45.
Four Bulldogs reached double digits, led by Andrew Rowsey with 17 points and Corey Littlejohn with 16. Jaron Lane and D.J. Cunningham each added 10 points apiece.
It was a new job title for Bulldog head coach McDevitt, but he felt right at home, as he should've.
For 10 seasons, he was an assistant under longtime head coach Eddie Biedenbach before being promoted to Associate Head Coach in 2011. At the end of the 2012-13 season, Biedenbach left the program to take an assistant job at UNC Wilmington, and McDevitt was promoted to take over the program.
"Asheville is my home... UNC Asheville is my home. To be the head coach and to be in the friendly confines of Kimmel Arena, it was a fun experience tonight," McDevitt said.
The former Madison High standout was promoted to head coach shortly after Biedenbach's departure. McDevitt played for the Bulldogs from 1997-2001, and in his senior season, he was fifth on the team in 3-pointers made with 11 and led the team in 3-point percentage (52 percent).
Monday's game was never in question as the Bulldogs went on a punishing 25-3 run to end the second half. Their size inside was just too much for the smaller Tornado squad.
Brevard had two in double figures: Dominique Pickett with 13 and Darius Moose with 10.
Up next for UNC Asheville is a trip to Rupp Arena to face No. 1-ranked Kentucky on Friday.
"It's going to be a challenge, and we're looking forward to it," McDevitt said. "They're ranked No. 1 in the nation, and we're going to be playing in historic Rupp Arena. We can't wait."
Brevard returns to action Nov. 13 when it opens the regular season at home against Lees-McRae.

Heading out for a leisurely lunch, with the bodyguards, of course, Britney Spears and Jason Trawick took her boys to Claim Jumper in Thousand Oaks, California on Thursday (December 27).
The "X Factor" judge wore a white cardigan and dark top as she got in the passenger seat of her white Mercedes-Benz while Jason, Sean Preston, and Jayden James followed.
Recently, the pop princess was slapped with some new legal drama. Christopher Federline, brother of ex-husband Kevin, filed for a restraining order against her.
Among the allegations, Christopher claims that the 31-year-old singer stole his credit card and charged more than $4,500 to it. However, the most shocking claim is that Brit threatened to blackmail him with revealing that Christopher was the father of her children, rather than Kevin. The judge dismissed the case two days after it was filed.
Enjoy the pictures of Britney Spears and Jason Trawick in Thousand Oaks, California (December 27).

The European Commission has decided to allow European Union member countries to continue importing processed feed products containing specific biotech traits listed on its "existing products" register.
The action comes after the commission learned in late March that 1,000 metric tons of corn containing the Bt10 gene, which is not authorized for import by member countries, may have been shipped to the EU from the United States between 2001 and 2004.
The 26 genetically modified organisms — 12 varieties of corn, six of oilseed rape, five of cotton, one of soybean, one biomass and one yeast cream — have all undergone the EU's extensive regulatory review and been approved for use in the European Union, according to a statement issued by the commission.
"All the GMOs on this register can be legally sold in the EU and complied with the rules applicable at the time of entering the market," the statement said. "The publication of this register represents a formal recognition of these products under the EU's new legislation on GMOs."
The U.S. National Corn Growers Association welcomed the decision.
"We applaud the commission for ensuring U.S. growers have continued access to important EU markets for processed feeds," said NCGA President Leon Corzine. "For producers who plant these biotech traits, this action provides assurance that there will continue to be an established market for their products."
Limited period sales
According to the EU statement, the 26 biotech products authorized for marketability in processed feeds can be legally sold in the EU for a set period of three to nine years, after which an application to renew authorization must be submitted.
Syngenta, which owns the Bt10 gene through its Syngenta Seeds subsidiary, said it supports the EU in its targeted certification program for two animal feed maize or corn products for import from the United States. The program, which includes the "existing products" register, is intended to ensure that the two products, maize gluten and brewers grain for animal feed, are certified by an accredited laboratory to not contain Bt10.
"We respect the commission's announcement to ensure compliance with the existing regulations, which is fundamental to maintaining consumer confidence", said Mike Mack, chief operating officer of Syngenta Seeds. "We are fully committed to continue cooperation with all concerned parties, including the EU Commission and member states, to achieve this, including bringing this measure to its conclusion when the program is reconsidered by the commission later this year."
Bt10 maize is genetically modified maize that was inadvertently planted in very small amounts as Bt11 maize between 2001 and 2004. The proteins expressed by Bt10 and Bt11 are identical, with the Bt gene in a different location in the maize genome.
"This has no impact on the safety of the maize," says Mack. "Bt10 also has an antibiotic resistance marker gene, which has been approved and widely used around the world for many years, including in the European Union. This marker is not active in the plant and therefore has no impact on the safety profile of the maize."
Syngenta identified the Bt10 event using advanced DNA-based testing. The Bt10 event was found in five Bt maize breeding lines in the United States, three of which were used between 2001 and 2004 primarily for pre-commercial development. The seeds produced could have planted an estimated 37,000 acres over the four-year time period.
Mack said Syngenta has been working closely with world leading and independent testing laboratory, GeneScan, as well as with the animal feed trade. The certification for EU importation is expected to be operational within a few days at U.S. ports of departure.
Representatives of Monsanto, which owns 15 of the biotech products on the "existing products" register, also welcomed the decision, saying it lays to rest concerns that the EU might stop all imports of biotech trait-containing feed products after the disclosure of the Bt10 shipments.
"We are pleased to see the EU operate its regulatory process as it was designed, which allows the processed feed market to remain open for U.S. corn processors and growers," said Hugh Grant, Monsanto's chief executive officer. "This action by the EU has the potential to open additional marketing options for U.S. farmers growing these biotech corn traits."
The NCGA's Corzine noted that biotech hybrids constituted 45 percent of last year's record corn crop and some estimates suggest biotech seed may be planted on more than half of this year's corn acreage. "We're seeing more growers plant biotech crops each year," he said. "That's why continued market access for these products is so important."
NCGA recommends that growers contact their local grain handlers to find out how this development may affect their grain marketing plans. Corzine also reminded growers that NCGA's "Know Before You Grow" Web site is a useful tool in determining which hybrids have received approval in the EU and Japan.
Added options
Grant said the EU action could result in additional marketing options for farmers who grow biotech grain, as some corn refiners may be able to expand their grain buying to include the biotech traits listed in the register, if those refiners do not send corn-based food ingredients to EU markets.
In addition to the April 18 announcement on the continuation of processed feed imports, Monsanto's Roundup Ready Corn 2 and YieldGard Corn Borer products have already received EU food approvals, he said. Food approvals for other Monsanto corn products marketed in the United States are pending in the EU regulatory process.
"This comes at a time when farmers are seeking new choices and new technologies," said Grant. "The EU delivered what it said it would for processed feed, contributing to the positive momentum that allows farmers to plant biotech traits with even more confidence."
