No titles were on the line in last Friday's soccer match at Penn Charter. Still, the Quakers' guest was traditional rival Germantown Academy, and the winner of the game would be positioned in second place after Episcopal Academy at the end of the first round of Girls Inter-Ac League competition.
On paper, it looked like this could be a pitched battle. PC had the home field advantage (and on grass, instead of GA's turf), but the visiting Patriots had tied defending league champ Episcopal, 1-1, while Charter had succumbed to the Churchwomen by a 2-1 score.
In reality, Friday's encounter was not as close as those other league clashes. Freshmen Hannah Fox and Jlon Flippens gave the Quakers a 2-0 halftime lead, and a marker by senior Kelly Kubach put PC up 3-0 in the middle of the second half before GA tri-captain Maddie Stambaugh got the Patriots on the board with 16-and-a-half minutes left to play. Charter junior Lauren Dimes answered the visitors' goal just two minutes later for the 4-1 final.
Although his squad had been edged out by Episcopal just two days earlier, Quakers coach Eddie Mensah felt his ballclub was ready for a breakout performance.
Following Friday's contest, he noted "We actually had more scoring chances and more corners against Episcopal than we did today. We did everything except finish in that game; we only got the one."
The Quakers have had relatively few seniors on the roster over the past several seasons, and while there are still some young players suiting up for the varsity, PC is more mature and experienced as a team than it's been in some time.
"We have a lot of girls who have been with us for a couple of years, and the team we've been trying to build is coming together," Mensah said. "Our talent level is starting to show. We had two freshmen, a junior, and a senior score for us today, and that's one of the things that makes us dangerous right now – that if you mark somebody, somebody else can score, and then somebody else after that. If we get more clinical with our finishing, we can make some waves in the league."
Both teams enjoyed spurts of activity on offense in the opening stage of Friday's game, and 10 minutes in, GA began to gear up for a corner kick only to have a rather belated offsides call cancel the restart.
On a subsequent Penn Charter sortie into enemy territory, the Quakers took the ball up towards the left corner and then sent a cross into the middle. Fox made a well-timed run onto the ball in the center of the box and scored the game's opening goal with 31:19 left in the first half.
Four minutes later, the electronic scoreboard at the field shut down and the passage of time became a subject for speculation for those without timer functions on their watches. Through the middle of the opening period Germantown seemed a little sluggish in its ballhandling and lost possession due to aggressive marking by the Quakers.
"We didn't possess as well as we usually do, and that threw us off our game," observed GA coach Chris Nelson. "We were never able to sort out that part of our game today. We didn't know a lot about Penn Charter coming in – they played a good game of soccer and obviously they did a great job of finishing today."
Later on, GA showed signs of life, but couldn't level the score. The Pats had a long free kick that was served well into the box, but after two players headed the ball up in the air, no one got off a legitimate shot. Instead, Charter entered the intermission with a 2-0 lead, following a play that developed with a little over two minutes to go in the half. Emma Ebert, senior co-captain of the Quakers along with Kubach, made a throw-in from the left sideline not far from the corner. Stepping onto the field, she got the ball back from Dimes and then hit it across into the box, where Flippens converted for the goal.
Despite the PC advantage, GA senior back Nicole Gilmore was turning in a solid defensive performance, and the situation would've been worse if not for her and her classmate Natalie Toner, the team's veteran goalkeeper. Toner (who recorded nine saves), is a team tri-captain for the Patriots, as are Stambaugh and defender Lauren Budinsky.
Although these particular 12th graders haven't finalized their college plans yet, one senior on each team has already determined that she'll play a sport besides soccer in college. Charter's Kubach will soon sign a letter of intent to play lacrosse at the University of Michigan, and the Patriots' Fran Sweeney, a midfielder in soccer and a guard in basketball, will play the latter sport at Emory University.
As the second half unfolded on Friday, PC junior Kristina Kubach (Kelly's sister) sent a lead pass to classmate Julia Casasanto, who fired a long shot that tracked wide to the right of the Germantown goal. GA came back for a corner kick, and after a few bounces in the box, the ball was headed just over the PC crossbar by junior KerryAnn Lawlor. About 10 minutes in, the Quakers' Dimes went off on a break across the Patriots' 18 yard line, but had the ball prodded away from her by Gilmore.
Dimes eventually got her goal, but it would come after a marker by Kelly Kubach, who settled the ball in the box just right of center, then fired to the left side of the visitors' net to make it 3-0 with a little over 20 minutes remaining in the game.
Around four minutes later, GA avoided a shutout by PC senior keeper Ashleigh Brown (six saves). PC's Kelly Kubach made the initial stop on a corner kick by the Patriots, but GA kept the ball inside the 18. It was sent inside from near the left endline and Stambaugh laid into the ball from beyond the right post to ring up the goal.
Charter recouped that point pretty quickly on perhaps the prettiest scoring play of the afternoon, as Dimes dribbled the ball down almost to the right endline and deftly shot it in from a very difficult angle. The final score of 4-1 went up on the resuscitated scoreboard with 14:19 left to play.
Afterwards, Quakers mentor Mensah said he was happy to see elements his players had labored on in practice contribute to the victory.
"The two things we talked about most were passing the ball well and really competing for 50/50 balls," he related. "In one way or another, all our goals today were the result of our passing. That has gotten much better since the pre-season, and so has our movement off-the-ball. It's the kind of thing where you don't see the results immediately; you see it when you get to a certain level, and we're starting to reach that."
In seeking to maintain that degree of ball control, Charter be challenged in the second round of Inter-Ac games simply due to the fact that every one of them will be played on the road.
GA was 3-1-1 in the league following Friday's setback, having postponed its first meeting with Springside Chestnut Hill due to last Tuesday's drenching rain. The Pats will make up that game and play everyone in the Inter-Ac a second time. Aside from the lapse at Penn Charter, Coach Nelson was generally happy with the way his club has competed.
"It's a good tough league," he said, "and it'll be interesting to see what happens when we have a second go at people."

Yesterday we reported on a few cases of Nokia Lumia phones starting to receive Windows Phone 7.8 on their devices. At the time, Nokia (and Microsoft) were quiet on the matter having not announced anything official about the update, which seemingly was released early. Then again, with the updates sitting on Nokia's servers, anything was plausible.
As it turns out, some devices did get the update but it was limited to pre-production and early non-branded devices, ones often found in reviewer's hands. The rollout appears to have been limited to certain IMEI numbers, targeting only a select few for the early OS treat.
The rest of you will evidently have to wait until "early 2013" when carriers and Microsoft get on board with the rollout. So bad news if you were expecting 7.8 before Christmas, sorry folks.

AVN Wins Dubai International Award for Best Practices!
Association La Voûte Nubienne (AVN) was awarded a DM grant in 2009 [1] to test an innovative strategy for scaling up and accelerating the recruitment and training of Nubian Vault (NV) apprentices and the growth of a self-sustaining market in NV houses in Burkina Faso. The Nubian Vault is an ancient Egyptian technique of building vaulted roofs made from local bricks without using any wood, instead of typical tin roofs that are more expensive and use scarce wood during construction. AVN is transforming traditional housing available in the harsh climate of the Sahel region by providing a sustainable housing alternative and helping to avoid further deforestation.
AVN has won one of the Dubai International Award for Best Practice (DIABP) to Improve the Living Environment [2]. The Award, co-sponsored by UN-Habitat [3], specifically recognised the program in Burkina Faso for 'best practice transfer'.
The DIABP was established under the directives of late Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, during the United Nations International Conference in Dubai in November, 1995 with 914 participants from 95 countries, to recognize the best practices with positive impact on improving the living environment.
Best Practices are outstanding contributions to improving the living environment. They are defined by the United Nations and the international community at large as successful initiatives which:
-have a demonstrable and tangible impact on improving people's quality of life;
-are the result of effective partnerships between the public, private and civic sectors of society;
-are socially, culturally, economically and environmentally sustainable.
The Dubai International Award consists of 11 Awards (6 for Best Practices, 2 for Best Practice Transfers, 2 for the private sector and 1 for individuals who contribute positively to improving the living environment). In the 9th Cycle of the Award (2012), the Jury selected 10 Best Practices and 2 Best Practice Transfer winners from a shortlist of 46 programmes previously selected by a Technical Advisory Committee.
AVN won one of the two Best Practice Transfer awards for its work in Burkina Faso as part of its overall program on Affordable Housing for Sub-Sahara Africa [4].
Thomas Granier will travel to Dubai this Spring (date still to be announced) to receive the Award on behalf of AVN, which will also provide an opportunity to make new potential contacts for the support of our program in the Sahel.
A presentation in Arabic [5] (and in English [6]) about AVN's work has been prepared for this visit.
AVN is actively seeking potential contacts and investors in Dubai and the Gulf States. If you are interested in their work, please contact them by clicking here [7] or visit their website [4] for more details on this innovative and ambitious program.

Mont des Oiseaux (Alsace, France)
Mont des Oiseaux (German, Vogelsberg) was the location of a Mennonite children's home in Northern Alsace located within a few rods of the German border near the village of Weiler some three miles (5 km) from Wissembourg, commonly called the Weiler Children's Home. In the summer of 1945 the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) , with the help of several French relief organizations, opened the Weiler Children's Home under the direction of Mme. Roger Georges, for the purpose of giving good food and care to approximately forty undernourished or temporarily homeless war-suffering children between the ages of two and six years. As soon as conditions permitted, the MCC sent food, clothing, and American personnel to the home. The home was surrounded by a beautiful forest which provided unusual opportunity for educational and recreational activities.
In the spring of 1947 Mme. Georges was replaced by an American representative, Mary Byler. During the years that followed, a state-recognized kindergarten was opened, summer Bible camps were organized for children between the ages of 7 and 14, and the main building was enlarged and equipped with modern conveniences. More significant than these physical changes, however, were the changes in the nature and purpose of the work. With time, the need for war relief naturally decreased and the home, trying always to help where the need seemed die greatest, found itself caring for children from divorced or separated parents, illegitimate children, or children whose parents were ill. Increased attention was given to the mission opportunities these homes and children presented.
In 1951 the "Association Fraternelle Mennonite," an official organization of the French Mennonite churches, purchased the children's home property for 6,000,000 French francs (approximately $17,142) plus a 25 per cent sales tax. Then followed a five-year period of transition as Mennonite Central Committee help decreased and French participation increased. By the fall of 1956 the home was operating independent of MCC help (except for continued shipments of food and clothing) and under the direction of Regina Nussbaumer, Basel, Switzerland. It was probable that within the near future the home receive mentally retarded children in order to meet what appeared to be the most urgent need and also in order to receive increased governmental financial support.

Nature's Grace:
If you may remember back in build 18.104.22.16834 that dropped on July 17 2008, we got this little change:
Nature's Grace: Now also reduces the global cooldown of your Wrath spell by 50% while in effect.Apparently this change was ninja removed at some point. If you look at the talent trees provided by both Blizzard and WoWhead, it is no longer there, and I'm hearing reports from people in Beta and on the PTR that NG no longer affects the global cooldown.
This shifts the Starfire vs Wrath debate a little bit. I haven't changed my posts from a couple of weeks ago yet, but this shifts the debate in Starfire's vavor once again. It reduces Wrath's DPS advantage down to just 4% without the SF glyph. With the glyph Wrath is at a 11.7% disadvantage.
Nature's Splendor:
I didn't see any official word on this either but according to the talent trees Nature's Splendor extends Insect Swarm's duration by only 2 seconds now (down from 3). This makes a lot of sense, and it was probably a typo that NS extended IS by 3 seconds in the first place. IS currently ticks every 2 seconds, so that extra second was hard to estimate.
Ultimately this changes little. It does reduce my IS DP calculations a little, and it will make Wrath rotations a little more complicated since MF and IS will have different durations, but nether of these issues will cause significant changes in the way moonkin are played.
This spell will be non dispellable in an upcoming build. This should make a lot of the PvP moonkin happy but it may still be spell stealable. I don't know.
FSU Posted a long post on the Beta forums regarding Moonkin Bloat. He focuses primarily on PvP, but PvPers are feeling the same thing that PvE moonkin are. There are just to many necessary talents for the number of talent points we are given. Luckily he got a response.
For now, all I've got is that Starfall can't be dispelled does not equal GC basically said they're done with balance.I know we have heard this before, and its starting to sound like a standard trade marked response like "soontm," but for some reason I'm optimistic. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but the need is so obviously clear to me that I don't see how they can miss it.
I compared the Balance tree to the other 8 caster DPS trees. The balance tree has 79 talent point options. The only tree that has more is the Arcane Mage tree with 81. The average of all 9 caster DPS trees is 74.56, which shows we have significantly more talents then the other caster specs. On top of that many of the other specs have clear distinction in choices. Several talents in there tree clearly provide little or no value in PvE.
Lets take Shadow Priests for example because I know them best. They have 4 talents that are clearly have little or no value in PvE situations.
Blackout - Only be useful on trash.
Imp Psychic Scream - Useless in raids because the need for fears is minimal.
Silence - Probably doesn't work on most bosses, and it requires two points in Imp PS to pick up.
Psychic Horror - A pure PvP ability that would have absolutely no use in Raids.
These four talents add up to 12 points that can be easily skipped from a shadow build. On top of that shadow priests start with only 70 talent options to begin with. This leaves them 13 points to spend how they want in other trees or to pick up some more situational talents.
Compare this to the Balance talents that are generally excluded by druids.
Genesis - Increases DPS but not by much compared to other talents.
Brambles - Increase the Damage of our Trents, Thorns, and Roots.
Imp Faerie Fire - Designed to be a PvE raid talent. It just sucks, unless you don't have an Spriest in raid.
Dreamstate - Provides mana regen.
Owlkin Frenzey - Probably the most Pure PvP talent we have, but could be useful in raids if WotLK raids have as much raid wide damage as SWP and BT do.
Eclipse - Another talent designed for PvE, that most people agree is useless since it doesn't provide a significant DPS increase.
Typhoon - An AoE spell that is primarily for PvP.
Force of Nature - An excellent source of mana efficient, treat free damage if used correctly. A standard part of most current moonkin builds.
Gale Winds - Increases AoE damage.
Of these 10 talents we are excluding, are there any you clearly don't want or need in a PvE build?
I can easily drop Typhoon because Hurricane should be enough AoE and the knock back on Typhoon could be bad in a raid. Other then that I can see a clear PvE reason to pick up all 9 other talents. The reasons aren't good enough drop some other talent, but there are significant uses for all 9 of the other talents in raids.
If I was a blizzard developer here are the changes I would love to see made. It's probably a little to much to ask for, but I can dream. (These are listed in the order of my priority.)
1. Reduce Vengeance to 2 or 3 points (currently 5 points) and move Nature's Reach to tier 4 of the tree.
2. Reduce Moonfury to 2 or 3 points (currently 5 points).
3. Reduce Lunar Guidance to 2 points (currently 3 points).
4. Reduce Dreamstate to 2 points (currently 3 points).
What do you think? What changes would you like to see to improve Moonkin in WotLK?

"I've outlasted most everyone else," said Warren. "I started volunteering on the Robb Field's Recreational Council when our son started playing youth soccer. I'm still working with the council and now have grandsons playing sports. I also started the Dusty Rhodes Recreation Council. I was always good at sports. My motto is, 'If you're short and left-handed, you need to be quick.'"
Meanwhile, Warren's stained-glass company, Pat's 1502 Glassworks, is celebrating its 40th year in business. She said she had very inauspicious entry into the stained-glass business.
"In the early '70s, some friends asked me to join their stained-glass class because they needed one more student to keep it going," she said.
Warren loved it and took more classes. At the time, she and her husband, Max, were enlarging their house and had some old stained-glass windows that needed repairing. Her teacher convinced her to repair them to open a clear path to their family business. Their daughter, Carrie, joined the company in 1996.
Warren also makes an effort to preserve local stained-glass windows.
"We've been salvaging old windows [pre-1929] from homes the Port District is removing to exchange for new triple-paned vinyl windows," she said. "Many people appreciate the imperfections of the old process and there is quite a market for it. Diamond patterns were very popular back in the '20s and '30s, but after 80 years, the lead frequently wears out, so we always have a rebuild project going on in the shop … We seldom part with anything [glass], because we may need it tomorrow."
Stained glass must be able to resist wind and rain and support its own weight, but Warren said most stained glass isn't as fragile as it looks, either.
"For large panels, however, we attach rebar and secure it into the frame to help keep the piece from sagging, which will eventually will happen thanks to gravity," Warren said.
A lot of different elements go into making stained glass, like potash, soda, lime, silica, metallic oxide powders, copper oxide, gold, silver and other items. Warren belongs to a stained-glass association and goes on trips to various foundries, art studios and places where great new glass ideas come from. There are several hundred artists in the association and they all help each other.
San Diego has many fine examples of stained glass, including The Jesse Sheppard House, John Ernst CPA house on First Avenue in Bankers Hill, the Hotel Del Coronado and the Graham Memorial Presbyterian Church in Coronado, which uses Tiffany glass.
"Every job has its own unique character and makes work fun," Warren said. "Even after 40 years at the same job, we learn something new nearly every day. "
Some of the Warren's artwork includes the front door stained-glass window of the historic Queen Anne Victorian house of CPA John Ernst at 2408 First Ave. near Balboa Park. Recently, the Warrens built a stunning 75th anniversary chancel window in the remodeled Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church. The artwork was designed by Michael Huff and Suzy Spafford Lindstrom of "Suzy's Zoo" fame.
Stained-glass work has its unique risks, but Warren said she at least still has all her fingers.
"I cut myself fairly often but one learns to be really careful around glass," Warren said. "Lead poisoning is a greater risk. We try to be vigilant and have our lead levels checked every six months. We call holistic people to work with us when our levels start to rise … Their cleaning processes and herbs bring our levels down when traditional doctors can't."
The Warren's warehouse, located in an alley near Point Loma High School, has special benefits that are hard to see.
Warren is clear about the future of stained glass.
"As long as people continue to think and experiment, I know the stained-glass industry will continue to evolve," she said.

Desi Van Til describes her film "Tumbledown" as a love letter to her home state of Maine.
Van Til wrote the indie movie that stars Jason Sudeikis and Rebecca Hall and is based on her life growing up in Farmington. She envisioned filming at some of the small rural town's landmarks — the old Farmington Diner, the Boiler Room Tavern, her best friend's lake house, and even Devaney Doak & Garrett Booksellers, where she once worked.
"I was still living in Los Angeles when I began writing early drafts," she said. The script "came initially out of a place of nostalgia or even homesickness for western Maine."
At the time, Van Til, now 37, said she was "living in a sprawling city and trying to figure out from afar what it was exactly that made my childhood seem so special to me."
But Van Til and husband Sean Mewshaw, who directed the movie, had to give up on their dream of filming in Maine.
It was just too expensive, she said, because Maine's film tax incentive couldn't offset their roughly $4-million budget much. Shooting in California was too far away from Maine and couldn't provide a New England feel. New York proved to be slightly over-budget.
So, like a growing number of filmmakers these days, she turned to Massachusetts. The Bay State, which some boosters call "Hollywood East," has become a fast-growing hub for film and TV production, joining dozens of states that have cut into a business once concentrated in the Golden State.
"Within an hour of downtown Boston, we found the closest match for the Maine architecture, the forest, the classic New England antiquity and charm of the small rural town we were trying to replicate," Van Til said. "Plus, Massachusetts had the benefit of a robust film incentive program."
The Massachusetts Film Office touts a program offering filmmakers who spend more than $50,000 in the state a 25% tax credit to offset the costs of paying actors, building sets and other expenses. It's among the more competitive film incentive programs in the country.
And there has been a stream of notable films that have shot scenes in the state.
Oscar-nominated "American Hustle" filmed all over Massachusetts. "Captain Phillips" filmed in Lincoln and Sudbury. "Ted," the raunchy bear comedy, filmed in Boston, Canton, Chelsea, Everett, Norwood, Somerville and Swampscott. The sequel also is expected to film in the state.
There were 21 movies that shot in Massachusetts last year, more than double the number in 2011, according to the state's film office. Film and TV productions spent $313 million in 2012, up from $176 million in 2011. The state paid out an estimated $78.2 million in film tax credits in 2012, according to the state department of revenue.
"It was a great place to film," "Ted" director and writer Seth MacFarlane said of Boston. "You get the tax benefits, but it's also a really beautiful city."
In addition to the financial incentive, Massachusetts touts a deepening crew base and a sprawling film studio in Devens that opened in January.
New England Studios is the biggest studio in the state. The $41-million studio boasts four soundstages, 20,000 square feet of office space, 16 dressing rooms, and two hair and makeup rooms.
"We now say that Massachusetts offers everything for film, television and digital media — from soup to nuts," said Lisa Strout, director of the state's film office.
Massachusetts has a rich history of film production that dates to 1903. But it was "Good Will Hunting," written by Cambridge natives Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, that put the state on Hollywood's radar in 1997.
The hit film, directed by Gus Van Sant, generated a lot of buzz and took home Oscars for best screenplay and best supporting actor (Robin Williams).
Since then, the filmmaking duo have returned to their home state for several other projects, including the 2010 Boston crime drama "The Town" that premiered at Fenway Park.
Aside from the tax incentives, filmmakers are lured to Massachusetts because of its flexibility as a backdrop.
"Massachusetts has a wide variety of eras and looks because it's one of the earliest settled states in the country. It has industrial, urban, farms and forest landscapes," said Mark Kamine, a production manager for "American Hustle," "Ted" and "The Fighter."
For instance, David O. Russell's "American Hustle" was largely set in New York. But the movie used various locations in the Boston area, including the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, to stand in for the Big Apple.
The ability to go into a nearby studio has also been an attraction for filmmakers. New England Studios is located about 40 miles outside of Boston.
"We're the only game in town," said Chris Byers, director of operations at New England Studios.
"Tumbledown," which Byers called the studio's "guinea pig," was the first production to use the studios for office space. It also used one soundstage.
"Versatility for filming here in Massachusetts is exceptional," said Byers, a Lowell, Mass., native who spent almost 30 years in the film business. "I started thinking we really need stages here."
"Tumbledown" filmed for about a month and wrapped April 25. The movie follows Hannah (played by Hall), who is writing a biography of her late husband — an acclaimed musician — with the help of New York City writer Andrew (played by Sudeikis).
"We have tumbled down," Sudeikis joked on the last day of filming after being asked to do another take on a key scene with Hall.
Folk music played in the background of the emotional scene as Hall and Sudeikis' characters looked through relics and reminders of Hannah's late husband, including old records he left behind.
In addition to the soundstages of New England Studios, the film shot scenes in a privately owned wood cabin in Groton, KJ's Airport Diner in Shirley and a boutique store in Concord, "Tumbledown" producer Kristin Hahn said. They were locations that emulated Van Til's memories of Maine.
With "Tumbledown" now wrapped, there's buzz about what films will shoot in the state next. Byers said eight clients are interested in filming at the studios.
One movie has already generated excitement among Bostonians.
In April, a casting studio put out a call for extras for the James "Whitey" Bulger biopic "Black Mass." Last week the first images of Johnny Depp, who will play the notorious Boston mobster, surfaced on the Internet. The movie reportedly began filming Monday.
Times staff writer Rebecca Keegan contributed to this report.

Food for Thought and Thoughts for Food!!
Here's a thought! Today, as throughout modern history, irrigation is crucial to the global food supply: the 18% of the world's farmland that's irrigated yields 40% of the world's food. Yet less than 5% of the world's irrigated land is equipped with drip irrigation systems. Added to that, we have the increasingly complex issues of water scarcity, climate change, drought and hunger. All in all, we have a major task on our hands. That's why we are dedicating 2014 to … Full article click here >>

Yes, I just gave a Michael Bay movie four stars. No, I don't think I've gone crazy.
It happens in this job that someone you think you've got pegged surprises you. Example: when Joel Schumacher -- the guy who put nipples on Batman -- came out with the gripping Colin Farrell thriller Phone Booth.
The noirish-ly comic true-crime story Pain & Gain similarly shows a side of Bay we've never seen -- or could possibly hear over the noise of explosions in Transformers movies.
There is one explosion in this film (naturally it's misleadingly included in the trailers). Fact is, if I didn't know who made it, and someone told me it was the Coen brothers, I'd have believed them. Stupid criminals, an unnecessarily complicated scheme, panicky murders, black humour ... it's all there.
And it's been there all along in the form of a series of extortions and a double homicide committed by members of a Miami bodybuilding gym in the '90s. The bizarre details captivated the city throughout the trial.
In Pain & Gain, Mark Wahlberg is Danny Lugo -- for what it's worth, the brains of the operation. Wahlberg, whose default facial expression is anger and frustration, plays Lugo as a guy who's devoted his life to his muscle tone, thinking it his ticket to the American dream. All it gets him, however, is patronizing treatment from the rich people he "spots" at the gym.
When he falls under the sales pitch of an Asian-American self-help huckster (Ken Jeong, seemingly playing the '90s infomercial star Tom Vu), it unhinges him. Unhindered by moral concerns, he sees "opportunity" in the kidnapping of a dislikeable Colombian businessman client, Victor Kershaw (Tony Shalhoub) and a vague notion of getting him to sign over everything he owns.
Lugo rounds up two easily manipulable fellow bodybuilders -- a smallish, Mr. America wannabe named Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie) and an emotional ex-con named Paul Doyle (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), hooked on Jesus, but apparently susceptible to other addictions as well. (Lugo and Doorbal are the real names of the characters who are now on Death Row. Doyle is a composite).
Screw-up piles on screw-up, shot by Bay with a keen handle on visual absurdities (amid a lot of panicky shouting). The trio finds another target in a pair of husband-and-wife adult entertainment entrepreneurs. A toe gets shot off in a run from police. Meanwhile, the escaped businessman can't get the cops to believe his story and hires an initially reluctant private detective (Ed Harris) to be the movie's avuncular moral centre and do the legwork the cops refused to do.
And like the wood-chipper scene in the Coens' Fargo, Pain & Gain has a gruesome denouement that is too surreal to not elicit an embarrassed laugh.
If Hollywood really is bankrupt of ideas, Pain & Gain is proof that it could be bailed out by reality too crazy to make up.

Q&A With the Doc: The Causes & Results of Hyperinflation
Sitting Bull writes:
I am a physician and have converted my entire portfolio to 50% gold and silver bullion and 50% quality mining stocks. So I am with you. What I am trying to understand is exactly how a 40% devaluation of the dollar will immediately affect American's day to day lives. Can you help me with this? I have studied and studied, but I am trying to understand how prices will be affected for the average person initially. What happened in Mexico? What happens here? Does gasoline go up 80% overnight? Does food go up 80% overnight? I was a Peace Corps volunteer, so I can explain the inner workings of certain pacific island cultures in ways no text book can seem to get right. I was hoping you could do the same thing for me involving this. Thanks.
Sitting Bull,
For an understanding of hyperinflation and where we are headed, a proper understanding of Jim Sinclair's formula, released nearly 8 years ago, is crucial:
1. First interest rates rise affecting the drivers of the economy, housing, but before that auto production goes from bull to a bear markets. -Check
2. This impacts many other industries and the jobs report. An economy is either rising at a rising rate or business activity is falling at an increasing rate. That is economic law 101. There is no such thing in any market as a Plateau of Prosperity or Cinderella - Goldilocks situations.
3. We have witnessed the Stock Markets rise on economic news indicating deceleration of activity. This continues until major corporations announced poor earnings, making the markets fall faster than it rose, moving it deeply into the red.
4. The formula economically is inherent in #2, which is lower economic activity equals lower profits.
5. Lower profits leads to lower National/Federal Tax revenues. -Check ($1.5 Trillion annual deficits)
6. Lower Federal tax revenues in the face of increased National/Federal spending causes geometric, not arithmetic, rises in the National/ Federal Budget deficit. This is also true for cities. -Check
7. The increased Budget deficits in the face of the Trade Deficit increases the Current Account Deficit. Dramatic for the USA and Europe. (see what happens in Greece)
8. The Current Account Balance is the speedometer of the money exiting a country into world markets (deficit).
9. It is this deficit that must be met by incoming investment in any form. It could be anything from businesses, equities to Treasury instruments. We are already seeing a fall off in the situation of developing nations carrying the spending habits of industrial nations; a contradiction in terms.
10. If the investment by non domestic entities fails to meet the exiting dollars, euros, british pounds… by all means, then this specific country must turn within to finance the shortfall.
-And CHECK- This is QE to Infinity defined.
11. As the action under #10 starts to become reality, and a country turns inside to finance all maturities, interest rates will rise with the long term rates moving fastest regardless of prevailing business conditions. (ex. Greece, Portugal) (Doc's note: Operation Twist's whole purpose is to prevent/ delay this inevitable outcome)
12. This will further contract business activity and start a downward spiral of unparalleled dimension because the size of for example the US debt already issued is of unparalleled dimension.
Therefore as you get to #12 you are automatically right back at #1. This is an economic downward spiral.
Currently, only a small minority of educated individuals understand this formula and the fact that point 10 is already well underway, and that point 11 is inevitable. Point 10 by itself is massively inflationary (an increase in the supply of money) but it requires widespread RECOGNITION to become hyperinflationary. This is the whole purpose of what Sinclair calls MOPE (Management of the Perception of Economics). Preventing the widespread RECOGNITION of point 10 and the inevitability of point 11 is key. Once the public as a whole loses CONFIDENCE in the purchasing power of their currency (the US dollar in this case), this is the trigger for hyperinflation.
It is critical to understand that hyperinflation is NOT inflation on steroids, it is a CURRENCY EVENT- a sudden and rapid complete loss of confidence in the currency. Mathematically, this is described as the Velocity of a currency- the rate at which it is turned over. For example, during the hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic in Germany, workers were paid hourly, and their spouses stood outside the factory and immediately rushed to the market to purchase physical goods with the rapidly depreciating currency. When the velocity of a currency approaches infinity, the value of it by definition approaches zero.
Most also fail to understand that in nearly all cases, a period of significant economic decline or depression precedes hyperinflation. This is understood after studying Jim Sinclair's formula above.
The resulting response of massive money printing to alleviate the shortage of goods and services as well as purchasers of debt can be seen in Peter's hyperinflationary formula:
A prerequisite of hyperinflation and monetary collapse is that a disruption in the availability of essential goods occurs, today this could happen as a result of past reliance on expanding credit and fiat money temporally facilitating dependency on low cost imported goods many of which now feed primary needs leading to a commensurate loss of home production capacity with an inherent delay to the medium-term should such reengagement with manufacture become necessary as it would in the event of off shore suppliers losing confidence in reciprocal worth of monetary instruments offered in exchange for goods, and or shortage of essential goods may arise as a result of natural correction occurring, by way of example from the collapse of speculation driven credit markets and or as a result of collateral damage to the production cycle caused by inappropriate governmental action in further increasing money and credit supplies in attempt to drive a spontaneously occurring and necessary correction back in the direction of instability and in so doing distorting essential work ethics and disincentivising investment in the production cycle,
In my view the most probable sequence of events resulting in hyperinflation and monetary collapse is as follows:
1. A broad based shortage of goods that are thought essential develops and this is not relieved in time to satisfy demand.
2. Consumers trying to acquire essential goods that they believe are in short supply become fearful and are prepared to pay increasingly higher prices and stockpile these goods further increasing shortages and accelerating prices as a sellers market develops.
3. Prices rise for essential goods in short supply as an increasing proportion of the money supply circulates in these goods, also with increasing velocity and as most of these goods are consumables with high turnover upward re pricing quickly occurs.
4. The proportion of available money circulating in goods that are perceived as essential increases and the demand for less essential goods diminishes I.e essentials become disproportionately more expensive than the norm against non essential goods displacing money towards the goods most in demand further fuelling inflation,
5. The shortage of essential goods accelerates as manufactures increasingly focus on short term survival, longer term risk is avoided and investment in the production cycle is reduced accelerating 1.
6. The normal balance of demand for all goods increasingly prefers those goods required to satisfy primary needs and people engaged in making and supplying less immediately essential or non essential goods become unemployed who then pressures governments accelerating condition 9.
7. Eventually goods not immediately required but non the less essential are needed and rapidly increase in price as they also become in short supply.
8. Consumers with least money first find it increasingly difficult to secure essential goods, become frightened and are forced to allocate greater proportions of their money on essential goods and demand greater income,
9. The demand for money forced by need and fear becomes irresistible so governments feel insecure and provide increasing amounts of fiat new money,
10. Consumers first to spend the new money see some value but soon as this new money is distributed and its value is lost, the velocity of money also accelerates as people rapidly exchange money for goods, wealth is seen as best protected when stored as goods rather than cash further increasing price and reinforcing condition 9.
So from first Sinclair and next Peter's formulas, we can understand that massive money printing by the government is not the trigger that causes hyperinflation, rather it is the loss of confidence in the currency by the people, WHICH THEN RESULTS IN A MASSIVE PRINTING OF MONEY BY THE GOVERNMENT IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO ALLEVIATE the problem- which throws gasoline on the fire, and exacerbates the problem.
As to what this looks like in practice, we suggest you read LoneRangerSilver's account of living through the Mexican Peso Devaluation, and Gonzalo Lira's first hand account of the Chilean hyperinflation. Lira's description of trading necessities such as a car for a valuable apartment demonstrate point 4 in Peter's above formula.
The fact that Jim Sinclair's formula is nearly complete demonstrates the eventual inevitability of Peter's formula, and resulting hyperinflation as a result. The best way to protect one's self from this is by storing your wealth in physical tangible assets such as gold and silver.
Hope this helps Sitting Bull.

Testing a new server for the forum
I have a new server for this forum but I am adding some new features to the box. The biggest visible change will be putting us behind https (secure connection) as there has been a huge push for that in recent months. (All apps like tapatalk were supposed to demand an https connection to function as of last Jan but it got pushed as literally millions of sites were not ready).
Can anyone tell me if they have issues with the Secure connection (popups about bad certificates, things like that)
Some notes.
1) If you login on that site it will log you out here (overlapping cookies)
2) Nothing posted on that site will be saved as when we do finally migrate I will pull the data from here.
3) No need to bookmark that forum as our current name will follow us after the migration.
I expect I will be playing with stuff on that box from now until the 4th so if it is totally unresponsive that might be the reason try again in a few minutes. Mostly this is to make sure my email is functional on the new box.
If all goes as planned I will switch out the boxes on July 12th. For this box expect small amounts of downtime between today and the 4th (perhaps the length of reboots) and perhaps a significant time on the 12th (as I plan a full rewire/fan cleaning/etc for all my machines).
The outage will probably be pushed to this weekend (when my email is less crucial).
Expect a few hours probably Saturday into Sunday.

Welcome to KC disc golf. Although we call them leagues, they function more like weekly mini tournaments rather than a multi-week league(bowling,pool, etc). You show up at the course on league night, pay your money ($5), pick a division, and play a round of golf. Winnings are distributed that evening. This allows you to play whenever you get the opportunity, which can be 5 nights a week :)
Good call Sean.
If you are just picking up disc golf the beginners league is a great place to start. You do have to put up with Paul... but even so it's a perfect way to learn the basics of our sport.
The other club leagues do have a weekly entry fee. Depending on interest there will be various divisions, which may include:
Masters (40+)
The Open and Masters divisions are generally paid back in cash. The amateur divisions are paid back in KC Kash. Monopoly type money that can be used to purchase discs or other club merchandise.
So the beginners league cost's $5 to play
QuoteSo the beginners league cost's $5 to play
I should probably make this topic a sticky :wink:

California Dreamin'
Because director Cristian Nemescu was killed when a speeding Porsche smashed into a taxi he and sound designer Andrei Toncu were riding in, California Dreamin' is not quite a finished film, but it is so rich with incident and detail that you would never know this were the case if credits at the beginning didn't state it. It's possible Nemescu would have shortened the film a bit, but who knows. As it stands, while there are occasional moments that feel like they could be more efficiently paced or connected more closely to the whole, none of these moments detract from the powerful experience of living in the world of these characters.
Some reviewers have referred to the film as a satire, and that may be true, but it didn't have the sizzle and bite of a satire to me. The characters are sometimes comic, but it's a lived-in comedy, complex rather than sharply focused, like the perpetually-rumpled mayor in the film, hapless with good intentions, unable to get his tie and shirt to agree on much of anything, never mind his town.
The closest thing to a caricature is Armand Assante's Captain Jones, one of those career military men whose entire body seems designed to support his crewcut. Assante knows how to use his eyes, though, to convey far more than words from his mouth ever do. Liviu Marghidan's camera catches extraordinary moments of Jones trying to adapt to the situation he's been forced into -- a simple transportation of radar equipment has been made impossible by a small-town railroad station manager named Doiaru (Razvan Vasilescu), who has enough frustrations and bitterness to last several lifetimes and enough influence in town to inflict all his resentments on the entire community. California Dreamin' is full of pairings, and Jones and Doiaru are one of the most compelling -- men who spend much energy each day consolidating and maintaining their authority, channeling the storms of their lives into barked orders and barely-restrained violence: men of sucked-in bluster, blind to the ways they weaken their own best efforts, a tin soldier and a thug. And yet they are more than that, too -- Nemescu had an uncanny eye for details of humanity, and so Jones and Doiaru have scenes of awkward communication together, moments that can not last but, in their awkwardness, are far more humane than any satire would allow. They are men who have shaped their lives, though not had a lot of freedom to determine that shape. They have made, and continue to make through the film, choices that ruin all their best chances, but it's a sign of Nemescu's extraordinary talent that we learn to sympathize, at least briefly, with those choices, even though we can see the ruin ahead.
California Dreamin' is more than just a story of cultural miscommunication, though it is certainly that, and its last half hour is one of the most complex and undidactic representations of such miscommunication that I've encountered in a film. Doiaru's daughter, Monica (Maria Dinulescu), is popular and a bit boy-crazy, but more than anything she is unsatisfied by life in a small town and dreams of being somewhere else, the daughter of someone else, free. She and Captain Jones's next in command, Sergeant McLaren (Jamie Elman) begin what both know will be a brief affair, and here, too, the complexity of the story is apparent -- at first, we are sure Sgt. McLaren is too smart, too disciplined to get involved with a 17-year-old girl who doesn't speak English in a town he will be leaving at any moment. We see the other soldiers hooking up with women from town, and it's a little sad, a little embarrassing, more than a little exploitative, and we can even understand that Monica might think there's nothing to be lost by entangling herself with an American soldier, but McLaren seems like the stereotypical military golden boy: well educated, a girlfriend back home who he talks to on the phone, sensible, concerned for diplomacy... We watch as Monica convinces him to dance at a party and we tell ourselves he's just being nice, flattering a young girl who's never gotten to hang out with Americans before. But then Monica enlists the help of the only person she knows who speaks English, a boy who is, in fact, hopelessly in love with her, but who, until she suddenly needs him, she hardly notices except to occasionally insult. And he doesn't translate Sgt. McLaren's words when the soldier tries to say to Monica, "I want to kiss you," but it doesn't matter -- what will be, will be.
There will come later moments of awkwardness, later moments when language fails, when electricity fails, when old bombs suddenly explode and water pipes burst through manhole covers with late-night orgasmic glee. Through it all, Nemescu's objective, though almost Romantic, approach pays off in more complex emotional force than would be possible were the story more schematic, the characters pushed closer to doom. The camera swishes and swoons, peers, glimpses, jerks -- like a home video or a low-budget documentary, offhand and patient, incapable of asserting Import or Meaning, just there, like the characters themselves.
There is doom, though, and clear blame for it. Jones and Doiaru are the men they are, demolition derby drivers destined to collide. Machismo wreaks havoc, whatever the address, whatever the language. The penultimate scene is a masterpiece, with the soldiers, ignorant and blissful, pulling away from a mess they cannot see, charmed by fireworks: the gorgeous, fleeting residue of violent explosions.
It's not the end, though, for again Nemescu (and his co-screenwriters -- Catherine Linstrum and Tudor Voican) knows that grace notes are the key to a certain power in music. The final scene is almost Pinteresque in the vivid implications hidden behind the banal non-conversation. What is true of the entire movie is doubly true of this scene: the writing is subtle, the acting rich, the filming restrained.
In 2006, a recklessly-driven Porsche robbed the world not only of two young men and a taxi driver, but of someone who probably could have had a distinguished, extraordinary career as a filmmaker. Nemescu did not die without making a mark on the world, though. California Dreamin' is a better film than many directors make over the course of entire careers, with much to show us about power and arrogance and communication, about human foibles and human desires. It's a movie to live in for a while, a movie that lets us feel our way back to our own lives, enriched.

Big news in the Trayvon Martin case: Angela Corey, the special prosecutor heading the investigation, plans to make an announcement today at 6 p.m. ET, which could very well be a decision on whether George Zimmerman will be charged. It's going to be a long couple of hours for us onlookers, but I can only imagine how Trayvon's parents and family must feel, knowing that all of their pushing and pressing for justice has culminated into this very telling moment.
It's here. And I'm hoping and praying that Corey and her team get it right.
Through this entire process, Trayvon's mom and dad have demonstrated a faith that has earned my fullest respect: faith in God, the justice system, and the inevitability that right will prevail -- somehow, someway -- over wrong. Sybrina Fulton tweeted earlier today: "We're on pins&needles waiting for Ms. Coreys decision but we're prayerful that justice will prevail. He sits high&looks low #GODisincontrol". That indeed he is. And we're praying and hoping that whatever the decision, it brings the family peace and closure. They honestly haven't even had time to grieve the loss of their son because they've been so busy grieving the failure of justice.
Major news outlets are reporting that Zimmerman has already been charged, but don't believe that hype. We'll all know at 6 o'clock but until then, unless you work at Corey's office, anything else is speculation. I think they won't make the announcement until the suspect is in custody, partly because he's a flight risk and partly because, if things don't go the way most of us want them to go, he might become a crime victim his doggone self. The fact that that man has made it this far is amazing to me, that he hasn't been snuffed out on the streets by another brand of vigilante justice. Going into hiding was probably his best bet. People are pissed.
Even though surveys have shown that white folks and Republicans are tired of the coverage of the case, for plenty of the rest of us, Trayvon has truly become a representation of the susceptibility of our children. He represents the random violence that can just as easily befall my son or nephew or cousin as it did Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton's child. With those kind of emotional ties undergirding the case, I believe in my spirit there's potential for an outbreak of violence if Zimmerman is allowed to walk away, his double jeopardy rights in tact.
If the decision is to charge him -- most likely for manslaughter since I'm sure a straight up murder rap wouldn't get the conviction or the sentence that supporters are hoping for -- all I can say is finally. Finally. Finally Zimmerman will be charged. Finally all of the marching and protesting and rallying will culminate into an action that most of us know should have been a no-brainer, knee-jerk reaction nearly a month and a half ago when Trayvon Martin was shot and killed. Finally the pressure on the justice system to do the right thing has paid off. And finally Trayvon can truly, honestly, absolutely rest in peace. I guess we'll see at 6:00.
If Zimmerman is charged, what do you think the charge should be?

Turbocharge Your Scientific Applications with Scripting
Additional materials available (3)
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Scientific applications are built with great care and attention to the core simulation algorithms, often with some input/output added as an afterthought. Instead, you can create a much more powerful tool with little extra effort by replacing the usual "main" program with an embedded scripting language. A scripting language makes a tool "programmable" for a wide variety of applications, letting you use the tool like a Swiss Army Knife. The scripting language orchestrates the actions of high-level building blocks, which are all coded efficiently in a system-level programming language, such as C, C++, or Fortran. When integrated correctly, therefore, the scripting language adds flexibility without impacting overall performance. Scripting languages also foster library development and code reuse, since the building blocks are coded once, and then scripted in a variety of ways to perform various tasks. The Matlab environment is an excellent example of a successful scripting architecture.
In this talk, I'll show examples of tools that go beyond Matlab in their scope--tools that have a more specialized function, that have been turbocharged with an embedded scripting language called Tcl. One such tool, an interconnect capacitance simulator, can be "reprogrammed" via Tcl scripts to perform different analyses ranging from simple calculations, to sweeps, to optimization runs.
I'll also describe several packages that I've created to amplify the power of Tcl adding support for object-oriented programming, mega-widget development, data visualization, and more.
Finally, I'll show how Tcl can be used to turbocharge Web site development. Tcl code can be embedded within a Web page, and executed as each page is served up to build the page contents dynamically. Together with a relational database and a server farm, this provides the infrastructure needed to authenticate users, manage their sessions, and submit jobs for on-demand computing.
When combined, all of these capabilities create a framework in which tools can be prototyped, developed, and delivered in short order with production-quality results, greatly accelerating the process of scientific discovery.
Michael McLennan received a Ph.D. in 1990 from Purdue University for his dissertation on dissipative quantum mechanical electron transport in semiconductor heterostructure devices. He became a Tcl enthusiast when he joined Bell Labs in 1992 to work on tools for semiconductor device and process simulation. He is co-author of "Effective Tcl/Tk Programming" (published by Addison-Wesley) and "Tcl/Tk Tools" (published by O'Reilly and Associates). He also developed [incr Tcl], an object-oriented extension of Tcl, which is now used by thousands of developers worldwide, on projects ranging from the TiVo digital video recorder to the Mars Pathfinder. Michael is currently an Architect at Cadence Design Systems, where he develops tools for HDL and System-level design.

Dementia-care expert David Troxel advises staff at The Terraces at Los Altos' memory-support center, The Grove.
When The Terraces at Los Altos opens its new memory-support facility, The Grove, in July, staff will embrace residents with dementia with a philosophy that emphasizes socialization and sensory-stimulating activities.
Pioneered by author and dementia-care expert David Troxel, the "Best Friends Approach" underscores the importance of creating an empathetic, activity-rich environment. The Terraces' parent company, the nonprofit American Baptist Homes of the West, hired Troxel as a long-term consultant to train and advise staff at The Grove.
Troxel spoke at a forum sponsored by The Terraces, "New Trends in Dementia and Alzheimer's Care: The Best Friends Approach," May 4 at Los Altos United Methodist Church. The presentation included a panel featuring local elder-care advocates Bonnie Bollwinkel, Dr. Ronda Macchello and Karen Duncan (see article, page 34).
Troxel's book, "A Dignified Life: The Best Friends Approach to Alzheimer's Care" (Health Professions Press, 2003), co-authored with Virginia Bell, offers both family and institutional caregivers strategies for improving communication, encouraging positive behavior and solving problems.
"There's a lot we can do to lift people up and give quality of life, to engage the person (with dementia) ... and help them do their best," he said.
What every person with dementia needs, Troxel said, is a "best friend, someone who has empathy and understanding and is supportive."
Socialization is key
"Dementia," an umbrella term for various brain disorders that impair cognitive function, is not an exact diagnosis, according to Troxel, who added that dementias have different flavors and personalities that require different medical approaches. Alzheimer's disease, the No. 1 form of dementia, commonly manifests in memory loss, disorientation and changes in behavior.
"If I had a broken arm, you could see the cast," he said. "But we can't see a broken brain. So a lot of times our expectations are really out of whack."
As caregivers for older adults diagnosed with dementia, Troxel noted, it's important to realize that the patient doesn't make decisions the way he or she used to and proves progressively less able to rationalize and reason.
"(Caregivers) can't just stay the same or else we don't get anywhere," he said. "We have to change some of our approaches."
While dementia medications are tolerated with mild side effects by most people, and Troxel supports their judicious use, he noted that they are akin to "jumping out of an airplane with a parachute – they slow you down, but you eventually hit the ground."
"Socialization is the treatment for Alzheimer's," he said, adding that The Grove's philosophy is that "hugs are better than drugs."
Developing the 'knack'
Troxel's Best Friends Approach encourages caregivers and family members to ask themselves a question: "How can I come out at the end of this feeling good instead of feeling completely exhausted and bitter?"
To create a positive environment for dementia sufferers in memory-care programs or at home, Troxel recommended that caregivers work on the relationship, be supportive, figure out ways to understand patients' needs and be there for them.
"What works for us, works for them – giving hugs, compliments and simple choices … things that we would want," he said.
When training caregivers, Troxel highlights the importance of a "great old-fashioned word" – "knack."
"It means the art of doing difficult things with ease or clever tricks and strategies – having the knack," he said.
The "knack" requires interacting with humor, flexibility, patience and respect. Such an approach from caregivers and family members, he added, allows them to avoid becoming the "bad guy" and encourages them to let go of the little stuff and forgo arguing.
"In dementia care, we have to adjust," he said. "We need to assess the situation and make a change."
Troxel attributed many of the behavior problems Alzheimer's patients exhibit to boredom, simply not having enough to do.
"I want to create a program that maybe someday I'll be in," he said. "I don't think I want to play bingo every day. Why not take an online tour of the Louvre and look at the Mona Lisa?"
According to Troxel, elements of a quality dementia-care experience include purposeful chores, creative activities, animals, conversation, incorporating the life story, exercise, music, being outside, learning and growth, and laughter.
When Troxel trains staff, he role-plays with them, demonstrating how to give compliments to elevate people and make them feel good.
"Our goal at The Terraces is to know 100 things about every patient," he said, whether it's that they love the San Francisco Giants, sleep in their socks or once hit a hole-in-one. "When the staff knows a lot about them … it makes them feel safe, secure and valued – it makes them feel known. And everything goes better."

Wrestling picks up three wins in California over weekend
No. 12 wrestling extended its winning streak to nine duals with a 3-0 road trip in California over the weekend.
The Chippewas wrestled against Stanford on Saturday and California State-Bakersfield and California Polytechnic State on Sunday.
"The team really dominated on their feet," said head coach Tom Borrelli. "We got takedowns and really initiated the attack."
The squad ended the weekend by defeating the Roadrunners 26-12, winning seven of 12 matches.
Junior 141-pounder Scott Mattingly pinned Timmy Box to give the Chippewas a 12-0 lead after seniors Christian Cullinan and Scotti Sentes had won their matches at 125 pounds and 133 pounds, respectively.
No. 2 Ben Bennett won his third-straight technical fall match of the weekend, 18-0, against Sean Pollock at 184 pounds. The senior dominated this match early on, which increased the team's lead to 23-6.
Senior No. 5 Jarod Trice won 2-0 in the heavyweight bout against junior Sammy Cervantes to finish off the Roadrunners, earning the Chippewas another road win.
Their second dual of the weekend was a 41-6 victory against Cal Poly State earlier Sunday.
"It was clear to me that our guys were making sure to be aggressive against Cal Poly when we wrestled them," Borrelli said. "Overall, on our feet, we've been focusing on countering and using what our opponents give us."
CMU got some forfeited falls early at 133 pounds and 141 pounds, which gave it an early 15-0 team lead only three matches into the dual.
That 15-0 lead quickly became 21-0 due to a first period pin by senior Donnie Corby at 149 pounds against Dillen Rocha.
Bennett got another technical fall in his second match of the weekend, this time defeating the 184-pound junior Sean Dougherty.
Trice would only need to step on the mat for another forfeit at the heavyweight class to close out the 41-6 win.
The Chippewas took down the Cardinal 30-3 to start their weekend in Palo Alto.
Bennett gained his first technical fall of the weekend against Stanford freshman Ryan Davies, getting a last-second takedown to secure the 15-point lead.
"These kind of wins don't surprise me," Borrelli said. "That's just what you come to expect from Ben."
Freshman Jackson Lewis lost a 4-1 match to Michael Sojka at 197 pounds after spraining his ankle, which prevented him from wrestling the rest of the weekend.
"Lewis sprained his ankle in his match against Stanford," Borrelli said. "We just hope he will be good to go on Friday when we wrestle Michigan State."
Trice earned another win to cap off the win against the Cardinal.
"The whole team wrestled well this weekend," Borrelli said. "Even in matches we lost, we wrestled sound, fundamentally and wrestled hard, so I'm happy with the road wins."
The Chippewas will wrestle again at 7 p.m. Friday against in-state rival Michigan State in East Lansing.

The name given to a girl unique from all others. Her personality will never fail you; her good humour will always bring a smile to your face, her quirkiness will make you happy and her loyalty will make you grateful to be her friend. She will appear in your life out of nowhere and you will never want her to leave. Although it's not obvious, there is something beautiful about her you can't help but notice. It will feel that no one quite gets you like she does.

Sweet Irish-heritage girl who frequently gets asked if she spells her name with a K or C, especially by baristas at coffee houses. She will blush, yet proudly and loudly provide the right spelling, repeating herself up to 3 times if need be. Her first name may often be confused for her last name, but that doesn't get this darling lady down. Middle name is frequently Anne, or sticking with the Irish idea, Shannon.
Carey frequently, and secretly, revels in the idea of a unique spelling for her common name, and her sense of specialness flows over to you; thus when you are with Carey, you feel special as well.

Coolest girl you'll ever meet. She enjoys yarn balls, coffee, antique stores and calm music like Bon Iver and Mumford and Sons. She's so granola. You should be friends with Carey and she'll bring you free snowcones. Carey is the best roommate in the world.
by PHATTERSON August 25, 2011
Carey is usually a hot girl that is very outgoing. Carey is a girl with many talents especially in athletics. She is thick and you are lucky if you can find one! She is always so kind and will always stick up for you even if you are not her friend. Although her name can come up a lot not everything that is said is true you have to get to know her to like her.

Taylor Swift sang "Shake it Off," referring to the rumors and gossip surrounding her personal life and career. But can we Laugh Off what is going on in this country and where we may be or think we may be headed? It's not can we. It's more, we must.
Now, I hate self-help gurus and have little patience for those who become followers. The whole idea about looking into yourself is to be self-reliant and take what we learn as tools, not the cure.
So, do we laugh at the state of America? Well, we don't laugh AT it but we can choose how much of this dialogue fills our daily thinking. And you know something? It's damn exhausting!
I recently took to Facebook, excoriating so-called fair thinkers, telling them that the dialogue has been divisive and even some families no longer speak to each other.
So, I made the decision to only post dog videos on Facebook. They are hilarious! I'm not a cat person so I don't quite get the same thrill but we have let doubt, fear and angst take over our lives. Sure, we've got to put these things out in the open and question all of our leadership but we don't laugh anymore; not recently.
There's an old saying that I love: 'People don't stop laughing when they get old; they get old when they stop laughing.'
Ain't that the truth?
I went to a formal event the other night for Ryan House, a wonderful organization in Phoenix, Arizona, that provides respite and palliative care for child with life-limiting illnesses. Basically, kids who will not be here in a few years, months, weeks and even days. Well, that certainly is nothing to laugh about. But beyond realizing why we were there, which never leaves you, I noticed the mood of the night was being grateful, staying away from dwelling on the issues we face as a nation and laughing. A lot and out loud!
My mother in law was in the clubhouse recently where she lives and she came across a man she did not know and asked if he was new there. He replied: "I am. I just got out of prison, serving a 25-year sentence for stealing money and blackmailing my wife to sign over all of her assets." My mother in law paused and replied: "sooo. you're single then??"
Ok. that did not happen but you laughed. Admit it. For a few seconds, you forgot your daily troubles or those that may lie ahead in our private and business lives or as Americans. And it felt good, didn't it?
This may be one of my sappiest columns lately but I miss laughing. We all do. And we'd better keep our humor in the days and years ahead. Laugh lines are not a code word for wrinkled skin. It means we've made it through life by a guffaw or two and at the end of the day, that's what keeps us from getting old.

"Come visit historic Nowa Huta, where George Orwell's dark vision of a perfect industrial metropolis was executed with stunning precision. Until, that is, the workers rose up and overthrew Big Brother" - Brian Whitmore "THE BOSTON GLOBE"
The history of the land on which Nowa Huta was constructed dates back to times much more remote than the history of the city of which it became a part. Settlement in this area started about seven thousand years ago and can be divided into many stages. Many artefacts and buildings from the last few hundred years - mostly sacral, manorial or palace architecture -are quite well preserved. Their existence is not widely known even to the residents of this quarter, as they have never been properly assessed. Descriptions were published in some studies and guidebooks many years ago but haven't been updated so far. In the light of the history of Nowa Huta one can say that the tourism in this area has a long tradition. As such can be regarded the former pilgrimages of Cracow`s citizens to the monastery of Mogiła. It is still more splendid that in 1840 the Wanda's Mound was visited by one of the greatest Polish poets - C.K.Norwid. Tourism in our modern understanding appeared in Nowa Huta during its construction. Visiting excursions, including foreigners, arrived to admire the development of the first socialist city in Poland - all this promoted a propaganda-ideological dimension.
Nowadays this socialist part of Nowa Huta has started to arouse interest and there is a chance that it will become one of the tourist attractions of Cracow, one of many, but a unique one. Its main advantage is exceptional town planning and architecture. According to specialists, in comparison with other parts of former eastern bloc, Nowa Huta is the best example of a socialist realist city . Foreign visitors are delighted with the composition, showing the designers`s eagerness to create a perfect socialist - realist city.
The architecture that was meant to be based on the Renaissance and which actually became a mixture of Renaissance, baroque and classicism, all in all looks very attractive and deserves attention . In the context of the political and social system in which it was created, Nowa Huta forms a kind of a magic gate to the era of socialist realism. Undoubtedly, it will arouse the interests of more demanding tourists searching for something new or different with a specific aesthetic sensitivity, and for a deeper look at architectural , social and political issues because it is these together that made Nowa Huta . Nowa Huta needs to be seen in a much wider context, rejecting all ideological prejudices because only such an attitude can guarantee its appreciation as a phenomenon of the past and present.
