NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Two Footlocker National Finalists and seven women with 3200m PRs between 10:20 and 11:00 highlight the strongest women's distance recruiting class in Lipscomb history.
"We had a very good year of recruiting," said Bill Taylor, Director of Cross Country and Track & Field for Lipscomb. "This is by far the strongest and deepest recruiting class in school history, and I always say this, but it's true…they are absolutely incredible people."
The 2013 women's distance class is comprised of nine freshmen and one transfer from Wake Forest.
"We have 10 women joining the program that fit perfectly with our team family environment and high character philosophy," Taylor said. "They will all contribute to every aspect of our success, from athletics, to academics, to missions and service. They all add to our very unique team culture…the best team culture in the entire nation."
The state of Washington is the most represented with three women, followed by Tennessee with two and one each from California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina.
"This class continues our tradition of drawing from across the country," Taylor said. "We usually have around 30 different states represented on our track rosters each year. Our reputation of excellence is growing rapidly nationwide."
Lipscomb is also very unique as one of the few truly Christian universities in the country at the NCAA I level.
"I know that is a draw initially for so many of our recruits," Taylor said. "Then they visit and see how different we are, how friendly Lipscomb is, and how incredible Nashville is. And they see that our athletes improve more than any other program in the nation, and that they get the same competition opportunities as any other top program in the nation."
Taylor finds the connections to the state of Washington to be a little humorous.
"People often think that we recruit harder out of Washington state because I am from Washington," Taylor said. "It's not true, and to my knowledge, that connection has nothing to do with our success year- after- year in drawing great kids from Washington."
Washington is known as a hotbed for high school distance running.
"And it's a tough part of the country to be a Christian," Taylor said. "Lipscomb stands out as a very unique option for those kids.
"Nashville is a cool city…kind of Seattle in the South. And the Southern culture is very attractive to kids from the west, and across the country."
Taylor says it's really hard to rank this year's class as it is so packed with talent. In alphabetical order, here are the 2013 women's distance recruits:
Barbara Lee Ball (Lipscomb Academy – Nashville, Tenn. High School Coaches: Albert Thweatt, Todd Cunningham. Parents: Cindy and Mason Ball)

"She comes from the same high school region as Maggie Lawrence, one of our current top-5 runners. When Maggie was in high school Kelsey ran right with her. I just think it's a matter of time and patience before Kelsey rises up. As a person, she is yet another perfect fit and will be a key contributor to all aspects of our programs success."

Our criteria for being a part of our program are character, academics, a positive attitude and a desire to give your best. Athletically, though she isn't where the other girls are, who knows? Our average PR rates are over 2-minutes for 5-Ks. Lana has run extremely little mileage in high school. Over time, as we build up her mileage and give her great workouts and a great environment, she has the opportunity to run big PR's and who knows what else. "
Kendra Weitz (The Oaks Classical Christian Academy and Shadle Park High School – Spokane, Wash. High School Coach: Bob Isitt. Parents: Linda and Lynn Weitz)
(2:22 800m, 4:51 1600m, 10:20 3200m, 17:38 5000m)
-Footlocker XC Nationals Finalist (2010)
-Fifth place at Washington State 3A State XC Championships
-Eighth place at Nike BorderClash All-Star race (2010)
-School record holder 1600m and 3200m
-Third place 3A Track state championships at 3200m and 1600m
Reason for choosing Lipscomb: "After visiting in January I loved the team atmosphere! It will be fun to have such a positive, godly group of people to be running with."
Coach Taylor on Kendra: "Kendra is such a sweet kid and fits so perfectly with our team culture and the environment of Lipscomb. Athletically she has been one of the best distance runners in the entire nation; however she has struggled with a variety of health issues the past two years that have set her back dramatically.
"I think most people who have been at the top level in the nation, running 10:20 for 3200m and qualifying for Footlocker Nationals, would give up if faced with what Kendra has been faced with. Yet, Kendra keeps a positive attitude, keeps fighting, keeps encouraging others, and trusts that things will turn out the way God wants them to.
"My assessment is that Kendra has all the ability that she has ever had, and has the potential to be an elite NCAA I college runner. But it is going to take time and patience for her and for me. I am excited to see how her story unfolds. I do believe God is going to use her in a big way. I don't know if that means she will be a national champion, or if that means something else. I don't really care.
"Although I hope she will get back and beyond her best athletically, and I believe we will get her there, I am going to play the role that God has for me in her development and help her become a better person in every way. Athletic success will be a big bonus."
The Lady Bisons return the top-eight women from last year and 13 of the top 14. With the addition of the top recruiting class in Lipscomb history the goals and expectations are going to be pretty big for the team.
The Lady Bisons have won the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship in cross country twice in a row. Taylor is hopeful of making it three in a row this fall.
"Our real goals are to get to the NCAA I National Cross Country Championships this year, and every year going forward, and to eventually win the National Championship," Taylor said. "Some people think that is a crazy goal. Yet, look what has happened over the past six years! "
Taylor moved to the NCAA Division I level as a coach because he said he could see that many NCAA I programs treated their athletes like a commodity.
"I saw that many programs only cared about their athletes in terms of how fast they could run for them," Taylor said. "I also saw that many programs are not even coached well. When you get great athletes, you often look like a better coach than you are. Having fast runners is not always the best way to evaluate the success of a program."
During his time at Northwest in Washington State he developed the template for success.
"We were beating most of those programs at a tiny NAIA college with no resources," Taylor said. "How? By building an unprecedented culture that focuses on taking care of the student-athlete and helping them grow and succeed in every aspect of their lives.
"By setting the highest athletic goals…goals people would say were crazy, and pursuing them fully, while at the same time keeping running in its proper perspective. And most of all, by recruiting on character and fit, and working to create the best team environment in the nation."
Taylor has moved the bar up for his team each year.
"Each season we do things that have never been done at Lipscomb," Taylor said. "And you can see that top athletes across the country are starting to see that we are different… that they can 'have their cake and eat it to' so to speak.
"That means they can get the best coaching in the nation, get the best opportunities for competitions and success, and yet do it in the most unique, fun and supportive environment in the nation, without the distraction of partying, with a team that loves them. And they can grow in every aspect of their lives. This recruiting class is an incredible addition to our team culture and will play a gigantic part in our programs success athletically, academically, socially and spiritually!"

100 percent air cargo screening off to smooth start so far
On August 1, a law mandating 100 percent screening of cargo transported on passenger aircraft took effect. While the mandate has not been in effect for that long, the early returns indicate things are off to a solid start, according to industry stakeholders.

On August 1, a law mandating 100 percent screening of cargo transported on passenger aircraft took effect. While the mandate has not been in effect for that long, the early returns indicate things are off to a solid start, according to industry stakeholders.
The law was part of H.R. 1, Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007, which required the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish a system to enable to airline industry to establish a system to screen 100 percent of cargo transported on passenger aircraft commensurate with the level of security used for checked baggage.
This requires all air cargo to be screened at the piece level prior to transport on a passenger aircraft for flights originating in the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration. Included in this endeavor is TSA's Certified Cargo Screening Program, which enables Indirect Air Carriers (IAC's), shippers, and Independent Cargo Screening Facilities (ICSF's) to screen cargo for flights originating in the U.S. According to TSA, most shippers involved in CCSP have readily incorporated physical search into their packing/shipping operation at minimal cost without needing to invest in screening equipment.
Before the August 1 deadline kicked in, TSA said more than 900 shippers, freight forwarders, and independent cargo screening facilities became CCSP-certified
On August 2, TSA announced the airline industry met a key requirement of the 9/11 Act by screening 100 percent of air cargo on domestic aircraft and is continuing to utilize a multi-layered approach to air cargo security, including procedures for known and established shippers to ship cargo on domestic passenger aircraft, deploying explosive detection canine teams, and conducting covert tests and no-notice inspections of cargo operations.
"The early returns are that so far it has been relatively transparent and not a significant event," said Brandon Fried, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Airforwarders Association (AfA). "We have really not seen any of the dire hardships that initially in 2007 we thought we would encounter when the legislation was passed."
While things are smooth so far, Fried did point out that August is typically a slow month for the air cargo industry, and he added things are likely to become more hectic in September as shippers gear up for the traditional Holiday Season, which could increase the potential for backlog.
Fried said that while freight forwarders were slow to initially respond to CCSP, they eventually got on board to devise strategies to deal with their screening responsibilities, which led to an upsurge in CCSP validations and registrations.
"It took us a while to get there, and it is an unfunded mandate so we are spending our own money to get in the game," said Fried. "That is ultimately going to impact consumers and shippers as airlines and freight forwarders are going to have to find ways to recoup those investments. But I think shippers and consumers can be thankful that Congress allowed for a free market solution to the screening issue and let CCSP to exist and that makes the market fluid and dynamic."
Fried pegged the financial commitment for technology-based screening equipment to be between $30,000-$500,000 depending on the type of technology needed for a particular situation. And while physical cargo inspection may be a good way to initially get into CCSP, Fried said it is likely not sustainable, because once volumes pick up, opening up every piece of cargo can create various issues and customer dissatisfaction and will lead to more forwarders needing to make the investment into technology. The most common technology used for air cargo screening is explosive trace detection along with x-rays and explosive residue detection.
With the 100 percent cargo screening rule required for cargo flying on passenger airlines, there are some freight forwarders who may elect to not even bothering and, instead, move air freight on cargo-only airlines, said Albert Saphir, principal of ABS Consulting in Weston, Fla.
"Some forwarders won't put anything on passenger aircraft, because in the lanes passenger airlines promote their business or services, 90 percent of those lanes are served by cargo-only carriers," explained Saphir. "And some forwarders don't want to have to worry about 100 percent scanning and if they have a shipment that needs to go a passenger-only aircraft destination, they may give it to a friendly competitor if they are not active in that particular lane."
A freight forwarder told LM that since the law went into effect, there has not been any evidence of interruptions or delays due to 100 percent screening, but, as the AfA's Fried said, a lot of it has to do with seasonality, which will likely change in the coming weeks.
"That is the luck of timing with this law," said Richard Fisher, president of Boston-based Falcon Global Edge. "The August 1 deadline carriers, forwarders, and screeners time to work out the kinks. We have not seen major delays and have been able to work out screening arrangements at the hubs where we generate most of our shipments."
Getting all the moving parts in the cargo screening process to work together could be viewed as the biggest "kink," said Fisher. An example of this could be truckers bringing freight to a CCSP facility and what the facility does after freight is screened to bring it to the airport.
"There were many carriers where a trucker would pick up a shipment and take it to the carrier, and now the trucker is taking the shipment to the screening facility, which is heading up the second leg through an authorized trucker to take that shipment to the airport once it is screened," he said. "So now you have two legs on the stool where before there was only one before. The logistics of that is working out. Carriers that are screening at 100 percent now are working out their receiving hours as to when they are and are not screening. It is just a matter of working through communications issues like those."
By the time mid-September rolls around, that will serve as the real test for cargo screening, said Fisher, which is typically the busiest time of the year for air cargo shippers.

Nike (NYSE:NKE) suspended its contract on Thursday with Olympian athlete Oscar Pistorius, charged with murdering his girlfriend at his home in South Africa on Valentine's Day, in an apparent move to protect its brand amid mounting criticism.
Continue Reading Below
As one of the last brands to end ties with Lance Armstrong, whose titles were stripped of him last year on doping charges, the announcement comes as the sports apparel company faces growing backlash over its handling of disgraced athletes under its suite of sponsorships.
Pistorius, a two-leg amputee, is known as the "Blade Runner" because he sprints on carbon fiber prosthetic legs shaped that give the appearance of blades. He competed in the 2012 Olympics in London and instantly shot to fame amid the buzz surrounding his performance.
On Feb. 14, however, he was arrested for shooting and killing his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, saying that he believed her to be an intruder. He was charged with murder a day later.
"We believe Oscar Pistorius should be afforded due process and we will continue to monitor the situation closely," Nike said in a statement.
Sponsorships offer athletes millions of dollars in fees in return for their appearance in commercials and ads. Pistorius was getting some $2 million annually in endorsement deals, according to several reports.
However, Nike's 2012 Olympic campaign has been a particular blemish for the company in the aftermath of the shooting where Pistorius refers to himself as "the bullet in the chamber."
The ad's video was removed from Pistorius' official website the day of the shootings.
Beaverton, Ore.-based Nike has faced criticism for its handling of troubled athletes in the past. In addition to Armstrong, it stood by NBA start Kobe Bryant throughout his spat of sexual assault accusations and stayed with golfer Tiger Woods amid adultery allegations.
The brand, known for its swoosh and "Just Do It" logo, was also the first to strike a deal with Michael Vick after the football star was released from jail after serving for his role in staging dog fights.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Lipscomb's track and field teams made a remarkable impact on the Atlantic Sun championships this weekend as they wrapped up their performance in North Carolina.
"We had a great championship meet this weekend. The men finished a program best ever third place. The women tied their best ever finish in fifth," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field.
As expected, Dani Walker produced strong results this weekend.
"Dani scored in five events, winning three, the 800 meters, the mile, and 3000 meters," said Taylor. "She is a repeat champion in the mile and 3000 meters."
"Dani earned back-to-back A-Sun Women's Indoor Track & Field MVP honors! For two years now she has been the premier conference athlete at the Indoor Championship. She deserved it too. Especially today, where she led every step of the mile and 800 meters," said Taylor.
Not far behind Walker in the 3000 meters was sophomore Madi Talbert who took second in the event finishing in 9:48.98. Talbert also completed the 5000 meters with a time of 17:33.82.
"Madi just did anything we asked," said Taylor. "She even stepped up to run a leg of the 4x400 meter relay, even though it was less than 30 minutes after she finished third in the 5000 meters. She's so tough."
The men's team also stood out from the rest of the competition after scoring the most points in program history landing them the third place finish in the conference.
Tucker Peabody captured the second place spot in the 60 meter dash with a finishing time of 6.86 and retained his title in the 200 meter dash with a time of 21.69.
"Of course Tucker Peabody's defense of his 200 meter title was exciting," said Taylor. He hammered that race."
Freshman Wayne Newman also left the championships with a win under his belt after he wiped out the competition in the 60 meter hurdles capturing the winning time of 8.07.
"Wayne's 60 meter hurdles race was so exciting. To watch him pull ahead and win that event was amazing," said Taylor.
Christian Freeman shattered two school records leading the program with a time of 14:47.49 in the 5000 meters and a time of 8:21.88 in the 3000 meters.
Taylor said, "He's just a freshman and is going to get so much better."
The men's 4x400 meter relay was the final event of the day, which saw the men's distance medley relay team finish with an outstanding time of 3:18.57.
"The Men's 4x400 meter relay was also a highlight," said Taylor. "Whenever you win as a team it's special. Those guys had a goal and they fought. It was all the sweeter since Colin (Dempster) was the favorite in the open 400 meters, but was fouled by another runner, shoving him out to lane four. He was upset, disappointed, frustrated, but just turned that to the relay and came from third place to win it for us."
"We are really happy with our performances and look forward to building on this in the outdoor season," Taylor said.
The final stop of the indoor season will be at the NCAA I Indoor National Championships in Albuquerque, N.M. taking place on March 15.

LEMOS, Leany Barreiro and LLAMOS, Mariana. On reactive legislatures: the politics of presidential nominations in Argentina and Brazil (1989-2003).Translated byLeany Barreiro Lemos, Mariana Llamos. Rev. bras. ciênc. soc. [online]. 2008, vol.4Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0102-6909.
This paper assesses empirically how the Argentine and Brazilian senates performed their confirmation prerogatives between 1989 and 2003, arguing that both senates did not merely deferred to the executive branch, a common assumption on the scholarly works on oversight in new democracies. Instead, they had a more active role in which anticipation, consultation and oversight has taken place. We analysed all nominations in the two countries regarding outcome (confirmed, rejected and withdrawn) and length of process (number of days of the bill on table), and advanced some explanatory hypotheses based on political factors (divided government) and institutional features (statutory rules).
Keywords : horizontal accountability ; nomination process ; Latin America; legislatures ; oversight.

Download Kelly KAC-D User Manual V1.9
General functions:
(1)Extended fault detection and protection. The LED flashing pattern indicates the fault sources.Customers can read the error code or message in PC software or Android App also.
(2)Monitoring battery voltage. It will stop driving if the battery voltage is too high and it will progressively cut back motor drive power as battery voltage drops until it cuts out altogether at the preset "Low Battery Voltage" setting.
(3)Built-in current loop and over current protection.
(4)Configurable motor temperature protection range.
(5)Current cutback at low temperature and high temperature to protect battery and controller. The current begins to ramp down at 90℃ case temperature, shutting down at 100℃.
(6)The controller keeps monitoring battery recharging voltage during regenerative braking, progressively cutting back current as battery voltage rises then cutting off regen altogether when voltage goes too high.
(7)Maximum reverse speed and forward speed can be configured between 20% and 100% respectively and separately.
(8)A 4pin connector to RS232 converter and USB to RS232 cable allows for configuration,programming and software upgrades using tablet which should be based on Android OS.People can do the same operation and configuration on PC software by using a standard USB to RS232 cable instead.(Recommend using USB to RS232 cable from Kelly directly)
(9)Provision of a +5 volt and +12V output to supply various kinds of sensors, including Hall effective throttle or pedal type.
(10)4 switch inputs which are activated by connection to +12V. Default to forward switch,throttle switch, brake switch and reversing switch.
(11)2 analog 0-5V inputs that default to throttle input and motor temperature input.
(12) Configurable motor over-temperature detection and protection with the recommended thermistor KTY84-130/150.
(13) Dual Channel A/B encoder input to support the speed control.
(14) The power supply of the controller is the standard battery voltage range.
Regeneration has braking effect but does not replace the function of a mechanical brake. A mechanical brake is required to stop your vehicle. Regen IS NOT a safety feature! Controller may stop regen, without warning, to protect itself or the battery(it won't protect you!).
(1)Intelligence with powerful microprocessor.
(2)Synchronous rectification, ultra low drop and fast SVPWM and FOC to achieve very high efficiency.
(3)Electronic reversing.
(4)Voltage monitoring on 3 motor phases, bus, and power supply.
(5)Voltage monitoring on voltage source 12V and 5V.
(6)Current sense on all 3 motor phases.
(7)Current control loop.
(8)Hardware over current protection.
(9)Hardware over voltage protection.
(10) Configurable limit for motor current and battery current.
(11) Low EMC.
(12) Battery protection: current cutback, warning and shutdown at configurable high and low battery voltage.
(13) Friendly high current terminals, and waterproof connectors for small signal.
(14) Thermal protection: current cut back, warning and shutdown at high temperature.
(15) Decelerating speed according to the brake rate when brake switch is active.
(16) Decelerating speed according to the brake rate at reverse. Configurable reversing accelerating function.
(17) Support three braking modes: release throttle braking, brake switch braking or reversing braking, neutral braking. Configurable brake time and brake release time in configuration program.Can program the regen amount in user program for different regen modes.
(18) Configurable high pedal protection: the controller will not work if high throttle is detected at power on.
(19) Current multiplication: Take less current from battery, output more current to motor.
(20) Easy installation: 3-wire potentiometer can work.
(21) Standard PC/Laptop computer to do programming.There is one more choice for customers to program KAC-S controller.Standard Tablet with Android OS to do programming.Need a Z-TEK USB to RS232 cable for connecting the controller to APP program in Tablet.

For subcontractors, the signing of a contract may be the most nerve-wracking part of some projects. However, you soon may have help feeling more confident in this process. Currently, a group of construction associations, representing owners, design and construction professionals, and surety and insurance companies are working toward the development and promotion of standard construction contracts, including those between general contractors and subcontractors. The motive for these meetings is the idea that the industry is better served by balanced contracts that are actively supported by all parties.
"The electrical contractor is interested in fair payment terms and all requirements for the agreement that deal with owner financial information and notice requirements for changes in schedule," says Daniel Walter, CEO of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), Bethesda, Md., and president of the Associated Specialty Contractors (ASC), Bethesda, Md., one of the associations actively participating in the creation of the collaborative contracts. "We think these collaborative contracts have better terms than privately developed contracts where essentially a general contractor says, 'I had my attorney write this up — take it or leave it.'"
The construction industry groups have been in discussions for a year-and-a-half regarding the content of the collaborative contracts and a business model to support this effort. The collaborative contract forms should be available on ASC's Web site at http://www.assoc-spec-con.org/contract/ in early 2007.

I left loaded with turnips, squash, leeks, onions, Daikon greens, and two kinds of goat cheese, plain and chipotle. I'd never had Daikon greens but prepared some and ate them with skillet cooked squash, onion, and fresh cilantro and it was a delicious lunch. As an added bonus, my blood sugar was just 85 two hours after lunch.
My menu for this week will be heavy on fresh produce. I love this time of year.

MORRISVILLE, N.Y. – Senior tailback Dorian Myles (Lackawanna/Hamburg) rushed for 153 of his game-high 155 yards in the first half, including a 79-yard touchdown run, as Cortland (2-1, 2-0 NJAC) defeated host Morrisville State, 56-14, under the lights at Drake Field.
Myles averaged 11.1 yards per rush on his 14 carries and caught two passes. Senior Chris Rose (Victor) completed 8-of-15 passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns, both to sophomore Kordel McInnis (Sewell, NJ/Washington Township), and junior tailback Justin Autera (Mahopac) ran for 80 yards and a pair of second-half touchdowns.
Earl Snead led Morrisville (0-4, 0-2 NJAC) with 17 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown and quarterback Jory Tanner ran for a score. Tanner was held to just 13-of-38 passing for 74 yards.
Cortland sophomore linebacker Jesse Scanna (Holbrook/Sachem North) recorded a game-high 11 tackles and two pass breakups and junior defensive lineman Gabe Ostrow (Nanuet) made 10 tackles. Senior linebacker Chris Bright (East Meadow), freshman safety Andre Green (Philadelphia/Indian River) and senior cornerback Pete Furey (Niskayuna) each intercepted a pass.
Cortland's defense forced four Morrisville turnovers, all of which led to touchdowns. On the game's first play of scrimmage, Bright stripped the ball from a Morrisville running back and ran 27 yards for a score. Green returned an interception 37 yards to the Morrisville 20-yard line on the Mustangs' next possession. Two plays later, Rose hit McInnis on a 24-yard touchdown pass and Cortland led 14-0 just over two minutes into the contest.
Morrisville responded with a 75-yard drive, capped by a Snead 8-yard touchdown run with 7:47 left in the first quarter. Cortland, however, drove 64 yards on four plays – three runs by Myles and a 33-yard touchdown pass from Rose to McInnis – to lead 21-7 less than two minutes later.
Early in the second quarter, Myles broke loose for his 79-yard scoring run – tied for the sixth-longest run in school history. Morrisville missed a field goal on its next possession, and on Cortland's first play from its own 20-yard line, Rose faked a handoff to Myles and ran untouched 80 yards to the end zone. A holding call, however, negated the score and reduced the run to officially 61 yards. Four plays later, sophomore Bronson Greene (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) ran for a 1-yard touchdown and Cortland led 35-7 at halftime.
The lead grew to 49-7 on Autera's 3-yard and 4-yard touchdown runs in the third quarter. Morrisville's second score came on a Tanner 1-yard run that concluded a 12-play, 82-yard drive in the fourth quarter. Cortland finished the scoring on sophomore Tyler Hughes' (Scranton, PA/West Scranton) 46-yard touchdown run with 5:50 remaining.
Cortland finished the game with 343 net rushing yards and 464 yards of total offense. Morrisville gained 350 yards, 257 on the ground.
Brian Doyle led Morrisville with eight tackles and Travis French made seven stops.
Cortland will host Montclair State in a NJAC game next Saturday at 1 p.m.

Quantum Electromechanical Systems: Are we there yet?
Published on
Note: The video for this presentation has been lost and is no longer available.
Electrons moving in a conductor can transfer momentum to the lattice via collisions with impurities and boundaries, giving rise to a fluctuating mechanical stress tensor. Driving electrons out of equilibrium by applying the voltage across the conductor, one may control this electromechanical noise. The root-mean-squared momentum transfer per scattering event in a disordered metal of dimension greater than the mean free path and screening length is found to be reduced below the Fermi momentum. The excitation of an elastic bending mode by the electromechanical noise is estimated to fall within current experimental sensitivity for a nanomechanical oscillator.

After going 4-8 for the second time in three seasons in Charlottesville, Virginia football coach Mike London blew up his coaching staff Sunday by firing defensive coordinator Jim Reid, defensive line coach Jeff Hanson, running backs coach Mike Faragalli and tight ends coach Shawn Moore.
In addition to those changes, Anthony Poindexter will remain U.Va.'s safeties coach, but he will no longer be the program's special teams coordinator. The total buyout for Reid, Hanson, Faragalli and Moore – all of whom had been at U.Va. since London became the coach in 2010 – will be $1.36 million, according to a release from the athletic department.
"After conducting a complete evaluation of the program and discussing my thoughts with administration, there are a number of areas we need to improve on and it starts with me as the head coach," said London in the release.
"The decision to release these four coaches is very difficult, but one I feel is necessary in order to meet the goals we have set for the Virginia football program. I have coached with some of these men for many years, won a national championship with some, and I truly appreciate their dedication and commitment, and more importantly, their friendships."
U.Va., which finished 2-6 this season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, said no timetable for announcing replacements for the four coaches has been established, and London won't make further comments until the staff is filled out.
U.Va. also officially announced Sunday quarterback Michael Rocco has been released from his scholarship and will seek to transfer to another school after the current semester.
London, Reid, Hanson and Faragalli all have connections from time spent together on the football staff at the University of Richmond. London was Reid's recruiting coordinator and outside linebackers coach at Richmond in 1995 and '96, which were Reid's first two seasons as the Spiders' coach.
When London was Richmond's coach in 2008 and '09, Hanson was the assistant head coach, recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach. Faragalli was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The trio helped lead Richmond to the Championship Subdivision national championship in the '08 season.
This season, Reid's unit is 31st in the nation in total defense (353.3 yards per game) out of 120 Bowl Subdivision programs, and 70th in scoring defense (28.92 points per game). U.Va. came into the season with five starters returning on defense, including just sophomore cornerback Demetrious Nicholson in the secondary.

Though U.Va. and Florida State were the only teams in the ACC to hold more than half of their last six opponents under 304 yards (both U.Va. and FSU held four of their last six opponents under 304), U.Va. had trouble creating turnovers. U.Va. had 12 takeaways all season, which is tied for 113th in the nation.
Hanson was also U.Va's recruiting coordinator. U.Va.'s recruiting classes in '11 and '12 were considered by most analysts to be among the nation's top 30.
U.Va. had just 17 sacks (10th in the ACC and 97th in the nation) this season under Hanson. U.Va. is also 44th in the nation in rushing defense (144.92 yards per game).
After finishing 52nd in the nation last season in rushing offense (162.1 yards per game) under Faragalli, U.Va. fell to 96th this season (128.5 yards per game). Kevin Parks led the team with 734 yards.
Moore, who finished fourth in the 1990 Heisman Trophy voting as U.Va.'s starting quarterback, was in his third season as a college coach – all three of which were spent at U.Va.
Sophomore tight end Jake McGee finished honorable mention All-ACC this season after logging 28 catches for 374 yards and five touchdowns as a backup, but tight ends (McGee, Paul Freedman, Colter Phillips and Jeremiah Mathis) combined to have just 47 of U.Va.'s 276 receptions.
U.Va. struggled in special teams this season under Poindexter. U.Va. is 71st in the nation in kickoff returns (20.95 yards per return), 85th in punt return yardage defense (9.72 yards per return), 109th in punt returns (3.87 yards per return) and 119th in kickoff return yardage defense (27.48 yards per return; two returned for touchdowns). U.Va. kickers Dwayne Jarrett and Ian Frye also combined to make just 11 of 17 field goals (64.7 percent).
"My primary task is to continue to evaluate this program and take the necessary steps to make us successful on the field," said London in the release. "This university and its fans deserve a program that competes for championships. In order to do that, we need to make improvements in every aspect of our football operation."

Pets, Pets, Pets...
I can't let "sleeping dogs lie". Have you ever been looking for one precious thing, and instead stumbled on another? While on perpetual search in Babylon for the tomb of Sensation, Westminster's emblem Pointer, I may have found the grave of a Gordon Setter entered twice by August Belmont Jr. in the first Westminster Show, May 1877. Surprising? Not really.
Most folks associate Belmont with horse racing, and know little of his impact on the dog world. Actually our wooded stream trail from Southards Pond to Belmont Lake forms Babylon's own canine "Tigris-Euphrates", for over a century ago, origins of the sport of dogs, both on LI and nationally, stem from Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) and Belmont having been here.
Although A. Belmont Jr. judged at one Westminster, he was not a member of the club. (His brothers were.) Instead, Belmont was the 4th president of the American Kennel Club (AKC), which formed in 1884, after WKC. During the financier's term from 1888 to 1916, Belmont's acumen brought the young AKC stability, prestige, and fiscal strength. The AKC needed an editorial forum and a record of kennel activity. In 1889 he created the AKC Gazette and guaranteed it against loss for 5 years at a rate of $5,000 per year. None of Belmont's money was ever used, and this magazine showcasing the purebred dog still publishes monthly today.
Belmont Jr. imported, bred, and exhibited dogs, most notably his smooth Fox Terriers at Blemton Kennels in Hempstead. (Note the anagram of "Belmont".) Earlier Belmont Jr., then age 24, entered dogs in the first Westminster which brings me to the delightful discovery at Belmont Lake State Park.
In fall '06 when I first began the WKC quest I heard that Leg. Wayne Horsley knew where Sensation's grave was. It seemed logical the famed Pointer was the dog buried at Belmont Lake. Since this was too far north, I assumed the headstone was instead a favorite among the Belmont Fox Terriers, and never checked 'til a year later.
The park staff, aware of the grave, had no idea of the dog's breed or story. The stone says: "In Memory Of My Faithful Dog Robin Mar. 25, 1879."
Yours truly, Mrs. Milkbone, dog detective, has a wonderful facsimile of the 1877 WKC catalog from Mr. Bill Stifel, WKC's historian. It seems a "Robin" was a Gordon Setter- one of 7 Gordon and English Setters/ Fox Terriers that Belmont entered in the first WKC dog show.
#352 A.Belmont Jr., 19 Nassau st., N.Y.
ROBIN, bl. and tan, 8 years; by Royal, out of Rackett $500"
This means Robin would have been 10 when he died, quite plausible. My catalog has handwritten notes. He took second in Class 9-"Native or Imported Gordon Setter Dogs" which infers this "Robin" was male. He was also in the running for Special Prize #1 "For the best Setter, of any breed, dog or bitch, in the show. A Silver Cup, presented and manufactured at Tiffany & Co., value $150." He lost the Tiffany Cup to "Paris", an English Setter from Ontario.
Belmont Jr. died in 1924. Robin's tombstone (photo) stands alone under a grove of trees, next to the former site of the Belmont mansion, razed in 1935, to make room for the new state park headquarters (background). Only Robin's grave and a pair of cannons, tributes to Belmont's mother's Commodore Perry heritage, remain.
Robin was a special dog, but I wondered why he was singled out. Belmont had many spectacular animals. (Prime example- August Jr. bred "Man O' War" but supposedly regretted selling the colt that his wife named in honor of Major Belmont's WWI service.) More "digging" uncovered that other beloved Belmont pets were buried in this grove, so it seems Robin wasn't the only dog so honored.
Both a 1938 and a 1941 LI Forum allude to the Belmonts having a family pet plot, possibly an enclosure, in this area, except one article cited the wrong Robin death date, which sent me back to Belmont Lake faster than Man O'War ever galloped to verify "Mar. 25, 1879". What a relief to see the Forum was incorrect.
Additional dog graves? To add credibility to Robin, I wish I could ID other Belmont dog graves like "Maud", 15 year old Gordon also in the first WKC, and mentioned in The King of Fifth Avenue, a biography of Belmont Sr. It's possible some headstones were moved when a circular driveway went in around the same time Southern State was rerouted. Park officials looked in the sheds for discarded markers. We examined old photos, but most were sent upstate as part of the NYS archives.
Shadow of a doubt: Experts from the Gordon Setter Club of America helped by checking for Robin. Belmont may have liked this call name. Within a 19th C. pedigree was a reference to a "dam Robin, Belmont import", suggesting another "Robin", a female; but from the breed club also came reassurance that duplication of names made it difficult to keep track of dogs prior to registration numbers. Even with this "dam" doubt, I put faith in the accuracy of the first WKC catalog.
If nothing else in the pursuit of the Pointer, I've learned that the more you discover, the less certain you are of history. Old like new publications contain errors. Despite that, Sensation the Pointer is definitely entombed in Babylon. Sensation, the symbol of the purebred dog, is #31 in the 1877 catalog while this Robin is #352 and #981. To think that both dogs were together in the first WKC show 131 years ago; to think that they may both be buried 2 miles apart in my hometown for over a century. 'Tis a toast deserving of a Tiffany Cup.
•More "horse sense" about discrepancies: When in college researching legends, I found an old source for Lady Godiva's ride printed in Latin. I only had 3 years of Latin in junior high, but my translation describing a bare horse rather than a nude royal activist defuses the vintage indecency.
For Adoption: The dogs and cats at Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677- 5784) Miller Pl. Syosset probably feel short-changed. I have left them little space this week. "Gustaf" #0059 a sweet Swiss Mt. Dog mix was found as a frightened stray. He is coming out of his shell. Other dogs include "Lalah" #1069- a Shep. mix pup and a majestic yellow Lab #0036.
Cats: Poor "Remmy" #0019- his photo was omitted last week. This handsome orange declaw looks like an American shorth a i r . "Samantha" #1128- a tuxedo is quite an outgoing actress.

Outgoing state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen becomes emotional when she talks about her worries for the district she's represented in Olympia over the last 30 years.
Without her clout, she said District 10 could lose out on millions of dollars of state funding for a wide variety of projects.
"I'm really going to miss being able to serve the people," she said.
Haugen is not the only one with concerns. Officials in Island County and Oak Harbor are worried that her departure could spell the end of a vital transportation funding source. The CEO of the county's largest private employer also admits doubts about the future of state projects.
"Mary Margaret has helped bring millions of dollars of work here," said Matt Nichols, CEO of Nichols Brothers Boat Builders in Freeland. "She pretty much mandated we would get part of the ferry work."
The longtime state senator lost in the election to Oak Harbor resident Barbara Bailey, a Republican state representative. Haugen served as a state senator for 20 years and 10 years in the House before that.
Haugen surmises that she lost, in part, because of her historic vote in favor of legalizing gay marriage.
"I had a lot of people tell me to my face that they could no longer support me anymore because of my vote on gay marriage," she said, adding that she doesn't regret her stand. Bailey was opposed to the measure.
In addition, Haugen said it didn't help that the ferry workers were mad at her, accusing her of union busting. And she blames the 26 "hit pieces" sent out by her opponent and Republican organizations.
A lot of voters, she said, aren't aware of all she's done to bring money to the district and to protect it from cuts. In fact, she admits to being amazed when she looks back on her achievements.
She counts among her achievement the millions of dollars of funding she's been able to bring to District 10, which includes Island County and portions of Skagit and Snohomish counties. She found the money to help fund major public purchases, including the Keystone Spit, the Greenbank Farm, Cama Beach, a pier in Langley and the Boyer property in Oak Harbor.
As the powerful head of the Transportation Committee in the State Senate, she said she also has been able to steer a lot of road money to the district over the years.
Barry Sehlin, an Oak Harbor resident and former Republican representative, said he worked closely with Haugen, who was known for her bipartisan cooperation and dedication to her district.
"She was an absolute bulldog on issues related to the 10th District," he said.
Behind the scenes, Haugen and staff at her busy offices in Oak Harbor and Olympia have helped citizens with a range of issues, from dealing with state offices to negotiating mortgage refinancing with banks, she said.
"The highlight of my career has really been being able to help people on a personal level," she said. "I think I've made an improvement in the quality of life in this district."
Now, she says she's worried for her "people." Haugen had promised to find funds in the transportation budget for a complex road project at the new Island Transit facility on Central Whidbey. If she had won, she would be writing the transportation budget next year. She predicts the money likely won't be there without her.
She also warns about the slashing of Capron funds. Every year the funds are threatened, but she's been able to protect them. Under the Capron Act, Island and San Juan counties receive half of all the gas tax and vehicle registration fees collected in each county back from the state for road work. That amounts to about $700,000 a year for Oak Harbor and $4.2 million to Island County. That accounts for about 25 to 30 percent of the county road budget.
"I truly am concerned about the Capron revenues and the negative impact on roads in Island County," Island County Budget Director Elaine Marlow said. "We're worried anytime there's a change in the transportation board."
Haugen, 71, claims Bailey won't be able to get much done because she will be in the minority party and won't have seniority in the Senate; she goes as far as to suggest that 68-year-old Bailey will never gain seniority because of her age. Additionally, Haugen claims Bailey isn't known for bipartisanship. She said Bailey was the only District 10 colleague she wasn't able to work with in all her years in office.
"You can't get anything done if you vote 'no' on everything," Haugen said. "Then again, maybe she'll rise to the occasion."
Bailey didn't return a call for comment, but she obviously is very popular in the district and voters support her for standing by her conservative convictions. Election results show she earned 53 percent of the vote, a full 6 percent above Haugen.
While Bailey heads off the Olympia, Haugen said she will be spending time with her family, especially her 44 grandchildren. She said her family is very excited about the prospect of having her back.
"I don't think the public realizes what a time commitment it is, at least if you are going to do the right," she said.

Gusset have a NEW range of 7 separate lowers and 3 separate uppers which are ready to fend-off over 30 of the combinations of head tube and fork sizes that frame/bike makers are likely to throw at you.
Choose your Top cup from the list to match the top of your headtube and fork steerer and then choose the Bottom cup to match the bottom of your headtube and fork steerer.
R-series headsets are the perfect choice for those looking for a top quality precision headset with lightweight CNC alloy cups, premium grade bearings and fine tuning technical features that are not included on most other headsets.
Gusset R- series headsets are great headsets in their own right, are very competitively priced and are available in combinations that are bound to be useful.
We thought a little background might be of interest so here it is...
"Gusset was founded in the summer of 1995 by two riding friends Paul Sorrell and Jason Mills. It started as a little project printing t-shirts, hoodies and a product called 'Hookers' that were replacement springs for Pit Bull brakes.
Although the pair had great plans for the brand they found that at the time they didn't have the time or money to take the brand as far as it could go, Jason was busy with a band and Paul was out of work at the time. The opportunity soon came along to pass the company over to Ison, both partners had known Lloyd and the team at Ison for some years and felt that with their contacts and distribution network that Gusset would be in good hands.
Paul can now be found racing Masters in the U.K 4 cross series and Jason also competes in masters, racing BMX.
Jason now owns a bmx/skate shop called Hardcore Hobbies (est 1999) who are proud stockists of Gusset products." Jason Mills.
Since these early days, Gusset has developed into a multi discipline company. The MTB jump market was evolving quicker than the companies within it could make suitable products; Gusset stepped in to fill the breach. Quickly gaining a reputation for making bombproof parts, the range continued to grow and now includes a varied range from beginner level parts to pro spec components made with premium materials. A particular favourite are the Pigmy crank arms made with Reynolds 853 tubing, a metal so tough it forced the factory to acquire new tools. The tubing blunted their existing tooling when making initial samples. I'm sure they were pleased...
Gusset has always been run with a light heart and a sense of humour. This allows a sense of freedom when it comes to product development and in particular colours of products. The best example being the flouro coloured Slim Jim pedals and Bastard grips. Insanely popular, they have sold through in enormous quantities both in the UK and abroad. If you want a psychedelic flashback bike, we've got you covered.
Along with our established product areas, the Gusset R series product area is being extended to offer a wider choice of high performance Racing products.
plus our NEW range of robust performance products for the Fixed wheel/Courier riders – built with our BMX and DJ knowledge.
Currently, we like to think that the company retains the original ethos that it started with, parts developed as the need arises. Making bikes work better is at times extremely taxing, but it always pays off. There's little more rewarding than getting the call thanking you for making a bike work better than ever before, putting the smile back on the rider's face.

King Henry VIII - Mind of a Tyrant
King Henry VIII - Mind of a Tyrant Previous Broadcasts
KQED 9: Fri, Feb 8, 2013 -- 9:00 PM
At first it was lust, then love on the king's part, "his so great folly" recorded in the seventeen letters he wrote to her in 1527 and 1528. But when Anne refused to become his mistress ("I had rather lose my life than my honesty" - in the end she lost both) Henry conceived the idea of marrying her. That required a Papal annulment of his marriage to Katherine of Aragon. This ought not to have posed a problem for a king, but David Starkey's research in the Vatican Archives has revealed the real story of Henry's futile six-year struggle to get what he wanted from Clement VII. During this time, and prompted by Anne, Henry began to re-think the nature of the English monarchy. He came to believe that he had spiritual as well as temporal powers: that the King, not the Pope, should rule the Church in England.

Guido Forti, the former team boss of mid-1990s Formula 1 outfit Forti Corse, has died. He was 72.
The Italian originally co-founded his outfit with businessman Paolo Guerci in the late 1970s, racing in Italian Formula Ford before gaining respect by taking Franco Forino to an Italian Formula 3 title.
The squad followed that success with a hat-trick of titles for Enrico Bertaggia, Emanuele Naspetti and Gianni Morbidelli.
Forti Corse entered Formula 3000 in 1987, going on to win a total of nine races in the category, prior to the decision to step up to F1 in 1995 with financial support from Brazilian driver Pedro Diniz.
Neither Diniz nor his team-mate Roberto Moreno were able to deliver a point in that debut season, however, with the Forti FG01 proving very uncompetitive.
Diniz elected to move to Ligier for the following season, leaving Forti struggling to replace the valuable sponsorship money that had been lost.
Nevertheless, Forti pushed on, delivering an improved FG03 for 1996 that was fielded by Luca Badoer and Andrea Montermini.
But while competitiveness on track was better, it was financial problems that proved the team's downfall following a deal with the mysterious Shannon Racing company.
A fight for control of the outfit went to court but it was too late to save the team, which pulled out of F1 mid-season.
Forti is generally regarded as the last true privateer to have entered F1 before the era when teams required manufacturer support.
After pulling his team out of F1, Forti made a brief return to motor racing in a team manager role in Euro F3000 in 2002 and '03.

Good tempura, despite essentially being deep-fried, has a certain lightness and delicacy. Conversely, bad tempura is soggy, bready and sits very heavy in one's stomach. From my experiments, there are a few key things to note: serve the food immediately! Tempura is not meant to sit around. Also, watch your frying items carefully and do not overfry. You might have to get used to the different frying times of different items. And of course, experiment away. If you don't like the veggies that I used below, you can try sliced mushrooms, eggplant or even discs of yellow onion.
Serving Size: 2-4
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
Another great import from the Portuguese to the Far East...(like the egg tarts, aka Pasteis de Nata/Pasteis de Belem).
The Italian version Fritto Misto is my favorite deep fried food.

Alex Jackson Overtakes The East Coast Championship Lead
15 May 2010
It was another beautiful day in Rye, N.Y. at the 2010 Melges 32 East Coast Championship, hosted by the American Yacht Club. Four additional races were added to the scoreboard instating Alex Jackson on Leenabarca in first place by one slim point. Kip Meadows on roXanne occupies the second place position, while Pieter Taselaar on Bliksemmaintains third.
The first race of the day was won by Michael Dominguez on Bronco with a solid performance. Dominguez came onto the Melges 32 scene in early December 2009, debuting at the Gold Cup Regatta. Since that time, he has progressed tremendously and today displayed the fruits of that labor with an astounding win. Rod Jabin on Ramrod took a nice second, while Geoff Pierini on Shakedown seemed to be able to find gears and take advantage of shifts for a third place finish.
Breezy, shifty conditions tested the fleet all day long. Plentiful sunshine and a steady 15-17 knots produced perfect racing conditions for race two. Taselaar finally found his groove for the win, while Phil Lotz's Arethusa wound up with a wonderful second place finish. It was a carbon copy result for Pierini as he claimed another third.
For race three, several attempts for a start were made, but a couple of general recalls and a black flag really straightened things out. Those that suffered the most were Jabin and Bob Hughes on Heartbreaker. For race winner Jackson, things could not have worked out better. He clawed his way up and out for the win. Taselaar finished in second and Lotz placed third.
The fourth race of the day, number eight in the championship series, was possibly the most critical race of all. At that moment, Taselaar and Meadows we
re respectively first and second with 25 points. Jackson was third and Lotz was fourth sharing 26 points each. It was Jackson that seized the moment and punched off the line with speed and aggression, quickly taking the lead and the win. This pivotal moment in the championship shuffled the results again leaving Jackson in charge, over Meadows and Taselaar.
Adding to the excitement of today's racing was the Take A Junior Sailing aspect of the event. Thirteen juniors experienced the awesome power and acceleration of the Melges 32. Teams showed up early this morning at AYC to pick-up their special, guest crew members.
