Man, playing guitar is harder than I remember!
Ok, here's the story. A box came in the mail a week before Christmas addressed to my wife, and I said "Is this some present for me that I shouldn't open?". She goes "yes, well, kinda. It's kinda more me and you, maybe". Ok, good enough. So, we get home from our whole Christmas thing at my step-daughters place, and then I remembered that box. I said "Hey, where's that You 'n Me thing you were talking about? She said "Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. It's in your stocking". So I pulled it out and unwrapped it, and it was an XBOX 360 game/instructional called "RockSmith". "Learn to play guitar in 60 days". ??? I looked at her and said "You, uh, wanna buy a guitar? YOU want to learn to play?". She said "yeah, kinda". Funny how your wife holds these things in and never lets you know about it... Why? I'd have bought her a guitar years ago!
Ok, so anyhoo, WAY back in my teens (35 YEARS ago), I spent 6-7 years playing guitar, trying to get good enough to play in a band. Never achieved it. I was never even good enough to play rhythm in a crappy band. I gave it up, then my apartment caught fire sending me to the Harborview burn unit for 3 weeks, but it also destoyed all 3 of my guitars. Right there at age 24, I never picked up another guitar.
Fast forward to right now. Even though I gave up guitar, I'm one of those guys that knows a lot about them for some reason. Seems a lot of my closest friends are very accomplished players. A couple of them extremely accomplished. Anyhoo, I wasn't willing to spend a ton of money on something that I wasn't sure we were gonna stick with, so I went out and bought a brand-new banana Squire Strat (had to be a strat) and a really cool practice amp, a Peavy VYPYR VIP-1. The guy at bigfoot music said that every employee owned one. It emulates several different amps, plus it has every pedal function built in! He could have tried to sell me many more expensive amps, but this one only costs 120.00 and it sounds great! And anything past 5 on the volume is almost too loud. (side-note, the volume knob goes to 13...lol!). Then I bought all the picks, cords, extra set of Super Slinky's, straps etc. Wish I'd have had cash back in my teen days!
Ok, so the amp wasn't necessary to use the XBOX software... But, ya know... But me and the wife spent 6 hours playing that game until our fingers hurt so much we had to stop. Need to work on those callouses! It was a kick-ass time, and I witnessed the software actually working with my wife. She went from not knowing sh*t, to actually playing along with the rudimentary intro songs built into the game (it gets much harder as you go). It was pretty amazing to watch. Of course I was giving plenty of positive reinforcement. Towards the end of our little session, I was thinking to myself "There is no frickin' WAY she's gonna pass me!". lol I did start to remember a little of what I used to know, but playing an instrument is NOT like riding a bike. When I picked up that guitar, I remembered NOTHING of what I used to know... And I'm talking NOTHING! It was almost like I'd never held one before. I was a little bummed over that. Anyhoo, thought I'd share. If you're thinking about learning guitar, this is a really fun and educational way to start. Rock on DUUUUDES!

No. 8 Kentucky holds off Morehead State 81-70
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Morehead State delivered on its promise to make No. 8 Kentucky physically pay for anything it got Wednesday night.
What surprised the Eagles was that the young Wildcats didn't flinch in gutting out an 81-70 victory.
"We just tried to use our physicality and see if we could shake the other team," forward Milton Chavis said. "They won, so I guess they fought right with us."
Actually, Kentucky had to fight back against Morehead State, which took leads behind runs of 16-0 in the first half and 11-4 to start the second. The Wildcats answered both at the foul line, making 31 of 41 free throws after deciding to embrace contact with the Eagles.
Kentucky freshmen Archie Goodwin and Alex Poythress benefited the most by combining to make 20 of 25 free throws. Goodwin scored a career-high 28 points, and Poythress added 20.
"My guys battled tonight against a great team on their home floor," said Morehead State coach Sean Woods, who played for the Wildcats from 1990-92.
"We gave them everything we had, we just couldn't hold on. You've got to tip your hat to Kentucky for sustaining, taking our blows and finding a way to win."
Milton Chavis scored 23 points for Morehead State. Maurice Lewis-Briggs added 13 points, and Drew Kelly had 10.
Kentucky shot 51 percent and outrebounded Morehead State 37-35. The Eagles' only consolation was beating the Wildcats 16-8 on the offensive boards.
However, the Eagles couldn't overcome 32 fouls, while the Wildcats had 12.
"We put ourselves in some situations where we were more foul-prone as a team," Kelly said. "We're never going to blame a referee for the foul discrepancy or anything. It was a hard-fought game, it was a very physical game and we just have to be more disciplined in where we place ourselves."
The start offered a hint that it might be a defensive struggle.
Nerlens Noel made it a block party in the first 5 minutes, violently swatting away three Eagles shots to the delight of 21,897 at Rupp Arena. His second block was one for the highlight reel, where he jumped several inches above the rim to redirect Jason Holmes' jumper.
Six-foot-3 guard Angelo Warner had no chance minutes later trying to drive inside on Noel, who easily smacked his attempt away.
Unfazed, Morehead State went on the 16-0 run. Consecutive 3-pointers from Lewis-Briggs and Jarrett Stokes capped the run, and Khalil Owens contributed a couple of baskets inside and Warner added a dunk.
Morehead State's lead grew to 11 at 25-14 as Chavis converted a lob pass before hitting a 3-pointer, while Kelly banked a shot. Pressure defense played a role in the Eagles' run as they denied the Wildcats passing lanes and disrupted their movement.
Morehead State paid a price for their aggression, 13-3 foul discrepancy resulting in a 14-2 free throw edge for Kentucky. That helped the Wildcats rally over the final 5 minutes of the first half for a 32-21 lead at intermission.
An 11-4 run over the first 2:48 of the second half put Morehead State back ahead, forcing Kentucky to rally again. And free throws made the difference as the Wildcats converted five straight before Julius Mays added a 3-pointer and a drive to provide breathing room at 60-50.
Hanging that long was more than the Eagles could have expected.
"We learned a lot about ourselves today," Woods said. "We learned that we can compete with some of the best teams in the country if we just stick to our guns.
"I'm happy with where we are right now."

Pineda shines under bright lights of the Bronx
NEW YORK -- The Yankees patiently waited more than two years to see Michael Pineda wearing their uniform in a home game. Finally presented with his first opportunity under the bright lights in the Bronx, the hard-throwing right-hander did not disappoint.
Making his Yankee Stadium debut, Pineda pitched into the seventh inning in a commanding seven-strikeout performance, leading the Yankees to a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox on Thursday in the first meeting between the division rivals this season.View Full Game Coverage
NEW YORK -- The Yankees patiently waited more than two years to see Michael Pineda wearing their uniform in a home game. Finally presented with his first opportunity under the bright lights in the Bronx, the hard-throwing right-hander did not disappoint.
Making his Yankee Stadium debut, Pineda pitched into the seventh inning in a commanding seven-strikeout performance, leading the Yankees to a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox on Thursday in the first meeting between the division rivals this season.View Full Game Coverage
"I'm so happy tonight," said Pineda, who walked off the field to a standing ovation. "My first win at Yankee Stadium, my first time pitching at Yankee Stadium. I'm very, very excited tonight."
There was a sprinkle of controversy to Pineda's start, as television cameras showed a substance resembling pine tar on the palm of his throwing hand, but the Red Sox never brought the issue to the attention of the umpiring crew.
Red Sox manager John Farrell learned of the issue in the fourth inning and said that the substance was gone by the time Pineda returned to the mound in the fifth. Boston's television broadcast suggested it was pine tar, an accusation that Pineda denied.
"I don't use pine tar. It's dirt," Pineda said. "I'm sweating on my hand too much in between innings."
Crew chief Brian O'Nora said that the Red Sox never brought the substance to the umpires' attention, and Boston's players generally viewed the sticky situation as a non-issue.
Designated hitter David Ortiz was much more concerned with how Pineda's electric mid-90s fastball and biting slider had blown through their lineup, saying, "Everybody uses pine tar in the league. It's not a big deal."
Backed by a four-run outburst against Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz, including rookie Dean Anna's first big league home run, Pineda did not allow a hit until the fifth inning.
He was touched only by Daniel Nava's solo homer in the seventh inning, scattering four hits with two walks in a 94-pitch outing. Coming all the way back from surgery on his right labrum, Pineda earned his first victory in the Majors since July 30, 2011, when he was pitching for the Mariners against the Rays in Seattle.
"We're really encouraged," manager Joe Girardi said. "I've said it since Spring Training: What I saw in Spring Training was a different guy, a guy that the ball was coming out [of] well. We saw that tonight. He had command of the strike zone. He threw a lot of first-pitch strikes and was ahead of hitters. He did a good job."
New York got to Buchholz for seven hits in six innings, with two of its runs unearned. Brian McCann snapped an 0-for-14 skid with an RBI single in the fourth inning as the Yankees took advantage of an error by third baseman Jonathan Herrera, who booted a ball hit by Jacoby Ellsbury to lead off the frame.
"It felt great," said McCann, who lined his hit down the right-field line. "I've been feeling good at the plate. I just haven't had the results that I'm looking for, but at the same time, I'm just keeping my same approach, and they'll start falling."
A second run scored when Alfonso Soriano grounded into a double play, and in the fifth, Anna collected his first homer with a one-out shot to right field.
"It's kind of like, 'Am I really running around these bases right now?'" Anna said. "It was a great feeling. I'm just happy to get the win. That's really what it's about around here. It feels really good to hit a homer in Yankee Stadium against the Red Sox."
New York added one more run, as Derek Jeter belted a two-out double to right field and scored on an Ellsbury single. That was enough support for Pineda, whom Jeter saw often while they were both rehabbing last year at the team's complex in Tampa, Fla.
"He's a legitimate power pitcher, and he's a strikeout pitcher," Jeter said. "He throws like this and he's going to be tough to beat, I don't care what team he's throwing against."
Pineda said that his changeup felt "outstanding," but Girardi saw signs of fatigue in the seventh inning, prompting the Yankees to proceed cautiously with a bullpen that has been worked heavily in the season's first 10 games.
Unable to call upon Shawn Kelley or Adam Warren because of overuse, Girardi clapped as lefty Cesar Cabral struck out both men he faced in the seventh and then handed the ball to David Phelps, who retired all seven batters he faced -- with three strikeouts -- to log his first career save.
"It feels great," Phelps said. "Any time you can get a first -- as long as it's a good first -- it's always exciting. It's a testament to the guys we have in our bullpen. We have guys that throw strikes."
The Yankees improved to 2-2 on their current homestand, with three games remaining against the Red Sox before an off-day on Monday.
"It's a long series, four games, and we just want to continue to play well," Jeter said. "It starts with our pitching staff, and another great outing from Pineda, and Phelps came in and closed the game out. Our pitching staff deserves all the credit tonight."

Questionable 'Consumer' Group Releases Most Misleading Report Imaginable, Falsely Claiming People Support SOPA
from the how-to-lie-with-stats deptThe supporters of SOPA/PIPA practically shoved each other aside this week to hype up a "study" released by the "American Consumer Institute,*" which claims that Americans support things like SOPA and PIPA by a wide margin (basically 80%). Of course, the actual survey used suggests no such thing. If it were true, there wouldn't be so much grass roots opposition to the bills (and hardly any grassroots support).
The details of ACI's study suggest why it got the responses it wanted -- it's basically because they asked ridiculous, leading questions where the answers are obvious, rather than asking anything about what people are really concerned about. You can see the full results here, and the questions have nothing to do with what SOPA/PIPA actually do. These are the three key ones:
3. Would you support or oppose legislation that would increase criminal penalties for anyone who knowingly sells counterfeit goods, equipment and parts to the U.S. military?Note, first of all, that nowhere does ACI ever actually say what the current criminal penalties are for such offenses. That right there makes the whole thing pointless. How can you ask someone if penalties should be worse or better when most respondents have no idea what the current penalties are. It's like me asking you "do you think I should walk my dog more or less each day." Since you have no clue how much I currently walk my dog, it's a totally meaningless question. You don't ask an "increase/decrease" question when people have no idea what the starting position is... unless your intent is to mislead.
A. Support (80%)
B. Oppose (14%)
C. DK/Refuse (6%)
4. Would you support or oppose legislation that would increase criminal penalties for anyone who knowingly sells counterfeit drugs and medicines to Americans online?
A. Support (81%)
B. Oppose (13%)
C. DK/Refuse (6%)
5. Would you support or oppose legislation that would help block foreign-based Internet websites from trafficking counterfeit goods, content or services to Americans?
A. Support (79%)
B. Oppose (14%)
C. DK/Refuse (7%)
And, of course, these questions are designed to get people to say "support." In fact, the only really surprising thing is that anyone said "oppose." Nobody wants counterfeits going to the military or for counterfeit drugs to be sold to people. But those are the very narrow and extreme cases that supporters of SOPA and PIPA rely on in trying to push this bill forward. If SOPA and PIPA focused solely on stopping people from knowingly selling actual counterfeit military products and drugs, I would support the bill. I don't think many people would oppose it. The problem is that the bill goes way, way, way beyond that, and targets a ton of stuff that have absolutely nothing to do with the military or drugs.
Finally, when you have a five question survey, and you kick it off with the first four questions all being about "horrors" associated with the absolute worst of the worst in counterfeiting -- the parts that everyone agrees should be dealt with -- and then you finish up with a broad question about supporting legislation that would "block foreign-based Internet websites from trafficking counterfeit goods, content or services to Americans?" of course people are going to say yes. You've led them down that path.
At no point did ACI actually explain what SOPA and PIPA really do or the much wider impact they would have. Nowhere does it explain that the mechanism behind the bill is to censor websites, using the same functional system as the Great Firewall of China. Nowhere does it mention that even the leading legal experts who support SOPA and PIPA admit that the bills will censor protected speech. In other words, nowhere does the study actually ask about SOPA and PIPA. Instead, it asks about some mythical version that the US Chamber of Commerce and the MPAA want you to believe SOPA and PIPA are about.
And, of course, we've actually seen what happens when a real academic does a study that asks people about the things really found in the bill: they don't support it.
* You should be quite wary of the "names" of various groups. There are multiple reports out there that suggest that the American Consumer Institute is purely an astroturfing group, with no actual consumer mandate or interest. It came on the scene a few years ago, started by a former big telco exec, and was almost exclusively focused on putting out research that (conveniently) claimed that everything the big telcos wanted was actually wonderful for consumers. Even Consumers Union -- the well-respected publisher of Consumer Reports -- and who really does have a reputation for looking out for consumers -- has called out the American Consumer Institute and questioned why its positions seem to contradict that of "nearly every other major consumer group." Make of that what you will.

Groups, couples and singles are all welcome at a social and interactive art experience. Throw in some wine, appetizers and conversation and you've got a complete evening or afternoon outing.
The concept is simple: art lessons offered in a relaxed atmosphere.
At Bottle and Bottega in Glen Ellyn, guests can bring wine or beer if they wish and the studio provides everything else: glassware, plates, cutlery, napkins, and of course all the art supplies. and the lesson. Staff also taps area businesses, such as Olives and Vinnies, for light snacks.
The events basically start the same way, said franchise owner Lynn Day. The first 30 minutes are spent mingling, setting up your space and getting comfortable. Guests are then guided through the art process by art teachers: they learn how to make a basic sketch, choose colors and mix paints. Guests are then taught how to layer their paint on their canvasses. The final half hour is spent on details.
"We always make sure that people have time to finish their paintings," said Day. "We take pictures throughout the entire evening."
Day stresses that the non-artist is most certainly welcome at Bottle and Bottega.
"We bring out the artist in everyone," she said. "We love people who are beginners; we uncork inner their inner artist."
The combination of wine and art is certainly nothing new, but lately locations like Bottle and Bottega have grown in popularity. Start-ups, franchises, and even stand-alone events of the sort are popping up across the suburbs. They've become commonplace for girls nights out, bachelorette and birthday parties, family day events and fundraisers.
"It's a great girls night out," said Day. "All of you can sit, chat and paint for three hours. You can't sit and chat in a restaurant like that."
The Glen Ellyn location has two studios and can hold multiple events at the same time; public painting parties are offered every day of the week. Vino vanGogh is a similar art "edu-tainment" company, and hosts events solely existing neighborhood wine and coffee bars, restaurants and other venues. Pinot's Pallete, like Bottle and Bottega...
Some sessions are themed. For example one evening may focus on a specific master such as Van Gogh or on city scape painting. Fridays at Bottle and Bottega are designated for pizza and painting, certain Saturday afternoons are family friendly and couples/best friends are encourage on certain Saturday evenings.
"At the public events, when a single guest joins in they get seated within the group," said Day. "We've also had Meet-Up groups here as well. "
Day pointed out that it is a great date night choice as well.
"It's non-threatening date experience. You can do something together and still be part of a greater whole," she said.

1995: M.S.S. Sports Coaching
Taking the reins of a PAC-12 softball team that competed at the Women's College World Series this past season and is returning its entire starting lineup except one is a challenge Academy alumnus Craig Nicholson is eager to accept.
When one takes a look at Nicholson's impressive record as a head coach with a career record of 927-235, though, it becomes obvious that his success at Ball State and Central Arizona College have prepared him to lead a team in such a competitive conference.
Nicholson replaced Clint Myers as softball coach at Central Arizona College and now is doing the same at Arizona State. He is the fourth person to head a softball program that under Myers won Women's College World Series titles in 2008 and 2011.
Graduating from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, with a bachelor's degree in physical education, Nicholson turned to the United States Sports Academy for his graduate education. He earned his master's in Sports Coaching in 1995 and a year later, in 1996, he found himself as a head softball coach at Central Arizona College, a Division I program in the National Junior Collegiate Athletic Association (NJCAA) Conference.
Nicholson led the Central Arizona College softball team to a record of 723-90 during his eleven seasons as head coach. During his tenure at CAC, the softball team won four NJCAA National Championships, seven conference championships, and eight regional titles. He was also named Coach of the Year four times and National Fastpitch Coaches Association Junior College Coach of the Year three times.
In 2007, Nicholson became the head softball coach at Ball State in Muncie, Indiana. In his seven seasons with the Cardinals, Nicholson became the fastest coach in the program's history to pass the 100 and 200-win marks by leading the team to 204-145 overall. His softball team in 2012 was the only team in the nation to rank in the top 10 nationally in batting average (.318, eighth), slugging percentage (.543, sixth), runs scored (6.69 per game, fifth), and homeruns (1.27 per game, 10th).
He led the team to three Mid-American Conference Regular Season Championships in 2009, 2010, and 2012 and to the NCAA Tournament in 2010. The program's first All-American player also appeared during his time at Ball State and three players under his tutelage received the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year award.
In 2008, Nicholson was the associate head coach for the Chicago Bandits of National Pro Fastpitch (NPF), where he helped lead the team to an NPF title.
Nicholson took time out from recruiting and settling into his new job at ASU where he was hired June 30 to sit down with The Alumni Network to answer a few questions about his journey and the future of softball.
Alumni Network: You have been incredibly successful as a softball coach at Central Arizona College and Ball State. What are the biggest challenges facing you as a Pac-12 softball coach and how do you hope to overcome them?
Craig Nicholson: One of the biggest challenges is taking over a program with so much recent success. In this conference, you coach against great coaches and you have to prepare your coaches and players for that. There are no days off at this level and no easy days. It's all about preparation and making sure you are ready and the team is ready through practice. You have to realize that there are expectations and you must understand those expectations in order to do what you need to do to continue to be successful.
AN: If you had to pass along one piece of advice to anyone looking to become a collegiate softball coach, what would you tell them is the most important lesson you have learned along the way?
CN: The biggest part is to treat the players the right way. Athletes, particularly female athletes, know when you care about their well-being as a person and not just as an athlete. This is undervalued in female sports. Secondly, you need to be aware of your perception off the field. You need to make good decisions off the field and become a part of the community. This is easier to do at smaller colleges like Ball State, but it is so important to plug in to that community. Technical knowledge is important, but these two things will help you get further in your career.
AN: In September, the International Olympic Committee will meet to determine whether softball will be included in future Olympic games. What are your thoughts on this?
CN: Softball should be a part of the Olympic Games. The hard part is that the U.S. plays the game at such an elite level that only a few other countries can compete against us at that level. Yet, in order to grow and develop the sport, it needs to be played at the international level and at the Olympics. It would be huge for both baseball and softball to be included in the Olympics and would increase the development of both sports internationally.
AN: How has what you learned from the Academy helped you in your very successful career?
CN: Honestly, my mentorship got me on my career path. What you learn is handy—and I learned a lot in my Sports Coaching program—but the most important takeaways are the experiences you have and the people you meet along the way.

Apple is the reputed company and make the fine devices and it is quite difficult to find the flaw in the Apple devices beside this iPad Air 2 company already have the series of devices then why they need to make the new or remake version of the iPad because combating the rivals and fulfill the latest trend. The new iPad Air 2 comes with in thin body with very sleek and delicate design and the Apple try their best to put inside the tablet only the body of the slate is not changed everything screen, camera, battery and other hardware are also improved and move towards the betterment. The device is already available with the different price the price is according to the memory model of the device and there is no other difference found in the tablet according to the price.
Make and Appearance
Apple tries to get the honor to make the world's slimmest tablet and for archiving this purpose the Apple make this Apple iPad Air 2 with the minimum bezels. The tablet is made up with aluminum body and measures only 6.1 mm thin by dimensions which is almost 18% less than the iPad Air which was released last year and the device is not only thin in front of iPad Air but it also less in dimension in front of their biggest competitor Samsung their Galaxy Tab S has also 3 mm thick body than the iPad Air2. The reduce bezel will also decrease the weight of the device and the slate carries 444 grams weight the weight is also less 34 grams than the predecessor but the weight is matches with the rival's Galaxy Tab S there is not much difference found between the weight of iPad Air 2 and Galaxy Tabs for reducing the bezel Apple change the button sequences as well and some of them are not present in the new iPad Air 2 such as there is no silencing switch control button present in the slate body and the company combined the switch controlling option with operating system and the position of the speaker is also changed and they placed at the bottom of the slate. The volume control buttons and power button are the same place like the predecessor.
The screen of the tablets or a smartphones always needs to be refine and they should have the solid impact the new iPad Air 2 has improved display. The screen size is 9.7 inches LED-backlit IPS LCD with 1536 x 2048 pixels resolution which delivers 264 ppi to the device and gives the good results to the users while they read any book, watch any video or surfing the web. The main reason behind this screen perfection is the layers of the screen which works inside are plastic coated and there is a less distance between the components even Apple claims there is no air found in the layers do the layers worked well and deliver the live vivid color to the screen and company first time introduced this display technology on their 3rd generation devices. The screen of the device is scratch proof which keeps the display away from the scratches and marks. The same screen technology found in the previously launched version of iPad. With this screen technology users can easily use their tablet without any problem even in sun light.
Operating System and Interface
The operating system and the interface of iPad Air 2 is not the new thing for the users who already use Apple products last year iPad Air come with iOS7 which give really the bump to the device but the trend is continuous and now iPad Air 2 comes with all new iOS 8 for enhancing the users experience. The major difference between the both versions of operating system is the new version comes with semi-transparent effects to give that window panel look and the interface of the operating system is also changed the developer make the navigation moments more simple, widgets adding is more simple and easy and file management panel is also enhanced and users just need not to worry for the file placement and searching those stored file when they need they can easily found the files by search them. There is no doubt that the new iOS 8 increase the charm of the tablet and attract the users easily towards the iPad Air 2.
Processor and Memory
Apple enhances the overall performance of the device and placed 1.5 GHz triple core processor with A8X chipset. Apple claims that this is the fastest chipset than ever. Last year company used A7X chipset in iPad Air and according to the Apple the A8X is 40% more fast in the speed in comparison with A7X processor and this is the 64-bit architecture chipset specially designed for the marvelous graphics and supports all types of visuals without any problem or without installing any extra software in the device. the new iPad Air 2 is featured with 2 GB of RAM and it comes with three types of memory options 16GB, 64GB and 128 GB but unfortunately there is no card slot present in the device for extending the on board memory the same three on board memory option are present in the iPad Air but the RAM is less and now Apple increase 1GB RAM than the predecessor. It means users have more capacity to store their data and download the large files easily in their iPad Air 2.
The image capturing passion increases day by day and most of the users prefer to buy the device have good camera features. Apple not only increase the memory and the other things inside the device they also improved the camera features as well for giving the better and satisfactory results to the users and fulfill their demand in a respectable manner. The iPad Air 2 is featured with 8 mega pixel rear with 3264 x 2448 pixels density and 1.2 mega pixel front facing camera with 20fps with autofocus, 1.12µm pixel size, geo-tagging, touch focus, face/smile detection, HDR (photo/panorama) with these camera features users can easily take the images and enjoy their moment without miss the shoot last year Apple placed 5 mega pixel rear camera with 2592 x 1944 pixels density the new version has almost the double better camera. Besides this improved camera and pixel density the users have make the more fun with their iPad Air 2 like the burst mode by using this feature users can take many images without missing the sequence and this mood also delivers the good result images. The front facing camera is the same as previous one but Apple claims again that the front facing camera is 80% better in low light condition even in comparison with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
We are talking about iPad Air 2 and we know that the new tablet comes with many good changes but making the thinnest tablet Apple not reducing the length, width and weight of the tablet they also reduce the battery also. Last year company placed 8600mAh battery inside the iPad Air but now they replace the battery with the capacity of 7340mAh and put inside the tablet but there is no mean that the battery drop the performance of working as well the working ability of the battery is same and the battery gives 10 hours backup time to the device while the users use iPad Air 2 without any break. This is the quite impressive that the battery is low in capacity but gives the same backup to the tablet and the 10 hour back is more than enough to use the device continuously and the one hour charging recharge the battery up to 40%.
Finger Print Scanner
Before the launch of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Apple announced that their every new device will come with the finger print scanner so the company keeps their promise and placed finger print scanner in the device for make the device more secure and personal. The scanner is attached with the main home button of the iPad Air 2 and users can personalized their tablet from the unwanted people by placing the thump impression protection.
Beside the other features Apple increase the Wi-Fi connectivity speed in the iPad Air 2. The iPad Air 2 have speed of Wi-Fi connectivity up to 866 Mbps, which is not only fast but the super fast and no internet provider provide this speed of Wi-Fi connectivity till yet and the speed of connectivity is still under the consideration by the internet providers and maybe in future some internet provides start offer this Wi-Fi speed.
Advantage and Disadvantage of iPad Air 2
There is no doubt that the device is more powerful and comes with many changes but after all this is the matter of technology that can be changed day by day and grow very fast like any other device the iPad Air also has some good and some negative points. The positive points are: slim in design and have thin bezel, light in weight and easy to carry, fastest Wi-Fi connectivity, fast processor and chipset, large screen without any flaw, finger print scanner, fast mobile data support on 4G and last but not the least high resolution camera with good features. These all are the positive points of the tablet but the negative points are the device missed volumes silencer button, there is no card slot preset for external memory extension, battery is non replaceable and if anything wrong happened with the battery the whole tablet needs to replace instead of battery and there is no camera flash found in the tablet these are the negative points of the device which may affect the users interest.
Price and Release Date
The device status goes available in various markets and the price is slightly different according to the memory option. The 16 GB memory model of the tablet is available in $499, 64 GB version has the price tag of $599 and the 128GB version is available against the price of $629.

Pa. Church Ordered to Pay $10K Fine for Fake Kidnapping of Teens
A southeastern Pennsylvania church has been ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and its youth pastor ordered to do community service after a March 2012 mock kidnapping in which he and fellow church members interrogated 17 teenagers in an unconventional lesson about the dangers of missionary work.
On Thursday, Jan. 24, Judge Andrew H. Dowling charged Glad Tidings Assembly of God, located in Middletown, Pa., and its youth pastor Andrew Jordan, 28, with simple assault and false imprisonment, charges which were reached by a plea agreement with prosecutors.
In addition to the church's $10,000 fine, Pastor Jordan will reportedly pay a $500 penalty, and perform 50 hours of community service while serving up to a year of probation, according to Harrisburg Patriot-News.
"It was an appropriate punishment for what they did. And I'm confident they aren't going to do it again," First Assistant District Attorney Fran Chardo said of the sentencing.
"They're not bad people," Chardo continued, adding, "what they did wasn't malicious. It was just foolhardy."
Chardo went on to say that the court wants to make sure churches understand that they must receive parental and child consent before performing an act like this, which Glad Tidings reportedly did not do before the incident happened.
The incident occurred on March 21, 2012, when members of the congregation staged a mock kidnapping in an attempt to show 17 youth group members the dangers of missionary work abroad.
The mock kidnappers reportedly ambushed a youth event at the church, covered the heads of each youth member, ushered them into a van, and then interrogated them on the way to the pastor's house, where they pretended to torture the pastor while the children waited.
The kidnappers then revealed themselves and explained that the event was staged. However, the mother of one 14-year-old girl, who reportedly received bruises from the fake raid and was crying during the exercise, filed a complaint with the county's police department, and the case was then pursued by a grand jury probe.
The girl's lawyer, Christopher Marzzacco, told WHTM-TV that the family is pleased to put the court case behind them.
"The victim and her family are relieved this criminal matter has been resolved. They would like to thank Detective Applebee and Fran Chardo for their work to bring those responsible for this outrageous behavior to justice," said Marzzacco.
"They hope this deters the church from engaging in future irresponsible behavior that is harmful to others, especially children," the lawyer added.
Both Pastor Jordan and the church initially pleaded not guilty to the charges in November, arguing that they were attempting to show the students what had happened to missionaries in the past.
The church's head pastor, John Lanza, told the New York Daily News in March 2012 that he was planning on tinkering with the "shock" value of his future youth programs.
"I would find a way that we could continue to keep the shock value, but I would find a way to inform the parents [ahead of time]," the pastor previously said.

DOVER — With dozens of doomsday stories circulating in popular culture about the year 2012, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration recently called on a panel of experts to help debunk some of the most widespread apocalyptic myths.
Five NASA scientists and a California science educator took part in a live videoconference on Wednesday, Nov. 28, and fielded questions from the public about the most pervasive doomsday scenarios. Social media users were invited to listen live to the discussion.
Topics ranged from the possibility of an undiscovered planet smashing into the Earth, to the prospect of the planet being sucked toward the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. The information below is a summary of some of the most common myths NASA hears from the public.
Taking part were: David Morrison, an astrobiologist from NASA's Ames Research Center; Don Yeomans, an asteroid scientist from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory; Mitzi Adams, a solar/archaeoastronomer from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center; Lika Guhathakurta, heliophysicist from NASA Headquarters; Paul Hertz, an astrophysicist from NASA Headquarters; and Andrew Fraknoi, a science educator from Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, Calif.
NASA has already received more than 5,000 questions about Doomsday 2012 through its "Ask an Astrobiologist" webpage, and it has posted more than 400 responses on the subject.
Myth: The ancient Sumerians discovered a planet on a collision course with the Earth, referred to as Nibiru, which has yet to be discovered by modern astronomers. Nibiru supposedly orbits the sun every 3,600 years, and is set to strike the earth this year on Dec. 21. Similar theories posit that a so-called "Planet X" is destined to slam into the Earth in December, and that NASA has been working to conceal the evidence from the public.
The Facts: The Nibiru story is the product of a 1970s-era fiction writer named Zecharia Sitchin, according to Morrison. In a series of books, Sitchin claimed to have translated Sumerian texts that describe a planet called Nibiru, as well as alien visitations from its inhabitants.
A woman named Nancy Lieder amplified fears about the Nibiru myth within the last two decades, according to Morrison. On her website, "Zetatalk," Lieder claimed she was in contact with aliens, who warned her the Earth was in danger from Planet X, or Nibiru.
Lieder's first prediction for the catastrophe was May 2003, but it failed to materialize. Nibiru theorists then merged the idea of a planetary collision with the existing myth about the Mayan calendar predicting the end of the world in 2012, according to Morrison.
Morrison points out the Nibiru myth is preposterous because if such a planet existed, it would now be visible to astronomers across the globe, who would have been tracking it for more than a decade. Nibiru would also be the brightest object in the sky, visible to everyone on Earth, and its gravity would be interfering with the orbit of our planet.
"This is such a pervasive idea that makes no sense," Morrison said.
Despite how far-fetched the Nibiru myth is, Morrison said it's now the foremost concern among people who contact him on NASA's "Ask an Astrobiologist" webpage.
One fact that complicates matters for Morrison when he tries to dispel the Nibiru myth is a decades-old prediction from NASA scientists that an undocumented planet exists in the outer stretches of our solar system.
NASA floated that idea in 1983, based on new infrared images captured with its Infrared Astronomy Satellite. The satellite was able to document 350,000 infrared sources, many of which had not previously been identified. But subsequent studies with more powerful instruments showed that none of the mystery objects were planets in our own solar system.
Myth: On Dec. 21, 2012, the sun and the Earth will come into alignment with the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Disastrous cosmic forces will be unleashed at the moment this occurs. Alternatively, the Earth will be harmed through alignment with a supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy. Or by aligning with all of the other planets.
The Facts: Every year in late December, the Earth and the sun do align closely with the center of the galaxy, but this year's alignment won't be exact. The Earth also won't be aligned with other planets in late December.
"Alignments occur. They're interesting from a pictorial point of view, but they really have no bearing and effect on the earth," said Yeomans.
Black holes do have gravitational pull, but the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy is tremendously distant from us -- about 28,000 light years away, according to Hertz, director of astrophysics at NASA headquarters -- and its gravitational effects on the earth are negligible. Hertz said black holes don't emit radiation.
"We can't even see the black hole at the center of the galaxy," he said. "The only reason we know it's there is because we can see stars orbiting it."
Myth: On Dec. 21, the earth's crust will change rotation, tearing apart land masses and wiping out the population. Alternatively, the globe will flip around 180 degrees when the poles shift in December.
The Facts: Earth has two kinds of poles: rotational and magnetic. People who believe this myth are confusing the two, according to Fraknoi.
The axis of rotation is the imaginary line through the center of the Earth, around which the planet spins. It doesn't move. By contrast, the magnetic poles aren't fixed to one location. They're a reflection of the magnetic field that exists on the planet. The magnetic poles drift a little bit each year because of the complexity of the electrical currents inside the Earth. They can also swap places over long geological periods.
Fraknoi says this "small core of scientific truth" has been twisted into a doomsday myth by some people posting messages on the Web.
"Somehow, people have gotten (magnetic poles) mixed up with the rotational pole, so they say, 'My goodness, on Dec. 21, in one day, there's going to be a flip of the earth's rotation, so that we're going to either rotate the other way, or the whole planet is going to turn upside down.' This is absolutely ridiculous," he said.
The Earth's magnetic poles only swap places about once every 400,000 years, according to Morrison, and such a change isn't expected for several millenia.
If a magnetic change occurred, it might theoretically be accompanied by higher radiation levels, but life on Earth has continued to thrive and evolve in the past in spite of similar events, Fraknoi said.
While it's true that magnetic poles can shift over time, Fraknoi said it's nearly inconceivable that the earth's rotation could change, or that the entire globe would flip 180 degrees. He pointed out that reversing the Earth's rotation would require the influence of another tremendously large object in space, which would already be detectable.
Myth: A large meteorite is destined to slam into the Earth in December, wiping out the inhabitants of the planet.
The Facts: The Earth could conceivably be struck by a large meteorite, but scientists agree that such a collision isn't going to happen in 2012. Earth's atmosphere is actually bombarded by meteors on a daily basis; basketball-size objects come in a couple of times a day, and objects the size of a Volkswagen come in every couple of weeks. But they burn up before reaching the Earth's surface.
Objects must be at least 40 meters in diameter to break through the atmosphere and cause ground damage, according to Yeomans. That only occurs about once every 500 years, he said.
"We know of no objects that are really of a concern to Earth, either this December or for the next several years," said Yeomans, manager of the near-Earth object project office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The last big impact from a meteorite was 65 million years ago, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs, according to Morrison. NASA now monitors the activity of large asteroids through a project called the "Spaceguard Survey," and provides data about incoming objects online. It has a catalogue of about 10,00 asteroids, with determined orbits.
"NASA is very aware of this issue and is making great strides to predict any large objects that are incoming," Yeomans said.
Myth: A gigantic solar flare will occur in December, wreaking havoc on the Earth by knocking out electronics. Alternatively, a tear in the earth's magnetosphere will expose the Earth to harmful radiation from the sun.
The Facts: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years, according to NASA. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications.
The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame, but it isn't expected to be particularly intense, according to NASA.
"This solar cycle is sort of the wimpiest solar cycle in the space age," said Guhathakurta, who studies space weather at NASA headquarters. "It is lower than what we had even expected."
In addition, NASA has developed tools to keep tabs on solar activity, and it doesn't look like a powerful solar storm will take place in December, Guhathakurta said. NASA can now monitor solar activity in real-time from different vantage points, and abnormal activity doesn't go unnoticed, she said.
If a solar region looks particular active, NASA has to ability to issue a warning to operators of potentially sensitive electronics, such as power grids, advising them to power down before impact.
Solar storms don't pose a direct physical threat to human beings on Earth, such as exposure to radiation or fire, Guhathakurta said, but they can severely damage electronics.
The magnetosphere is a projection of the Earth's magnetic field into space. It shields the Earth like a cocoon from the harmful radiation of the sun, enabling life to be generated on the planet. When radiation does breach the magnetosphere, it can propagate toward the planet, producing magnetic storms.
Particles from the sun can also create electromagnetic fluctuations that can interfere with communication tools and electronics. For example, it was a magnetic storm that led to a blackout in portions of Canada during the 1989 Hydro-Qu�bec power failure.
Engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms, according to NASA.
"Yes, these particles can penetrate through our magnetosphere," Guhathakurta said, "but even that, we are able to guide people through..."
NASA experts dispel 2012 myths
DOVER — With dozens of doomsday stories circulating in popular culture about the year 2012, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration recently called on a panel of experts to help debunk some of the most widespread apocalyptic myths.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- Prayers are pouring in and fans are donating money for a Winter X Games snowmobile competitor who is in critical condition following a crash last week.
Caleb Moore was performing a flip off a jump last week when he caught the top of the hill in the landing area and went over the handlebars. The 25-year-old was able to walk away but later developed bleeding around his heart and a secondary complication involving his brain.
No update on his condition was available Wednesday.
To help defray the medical costs, a website has been set up for the family to raise $300,000 to help pay his hospital bills.

Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

Linux Backup Server: Remote Wakeup, Automatic Shutdown
NIC and Motherboard Support
In part 3 of this series we learn how to use WOL, Wake-on-LAN, and the finer points of shutting a system down.
At last I can write this up for you, my fine readers. Today we're going to learn about using Wake-on-LAN to wake up a server remotely, and automatic shutdowns. My master plan for my backup server is to automate everything-- wake it up, run backups for all the computers in my house, and then everyone shuts down for the night. (You might want to review part 1 and part 2
BIOS Support
The first requirement is your system BIOS must support WOL, and usually it is disabled by default, so you must enter your BIOS to turn it on.
NIC Support
Your Ethernet interface must support Wake-on-LAN (WOL). How do you find out? You need the ethool
# ethtool eth0 | grep -i wake-on
Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: g
man ethtool explains all the switches. At a minimum you want to see this:
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: g
g means "Wake on MagicPacket". If you see "Wake-on: d" then WOL is disabled. You can enable it with ethtool:
# ethtool -s eth0 wol g
This should survive the next restart so you can test it, and it might even survive several restarts.
You also need the MAC address of your NIC, which you find like this:
# ifconfig eth0 | grep -i hwaddr
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0A:CD:22:33:92
Now power down the machine. Go to a PC on the same subnet and install wakeonlan. Then wake up your server like this:
$ wakeonlan -p 8 00:0A:CD:22:33:92
wakeonlan doesn't need root privileges. -p 8 tells it to send a magic packet to UDP port 8. The default is UDP port 9, which is a discard port for testing, a dead end, so it won't work. You should check your own /etc/services to find an unused port, and then edit it to note which one you are using for WOL.
There are variables that may get in your way, such as a motherboard or NIC that do not support WOL, or an older motherboard that requires a 3-pin Wake-on-LAN connector, even if you have a newer NIC. If your motherboard supports PCI 2.2 it should support PME (power management events), which means signals are sent through the PCI socket and you shouldn't need a 3-pin Wake-on-LAN connector. PCI 2.1 and older require the extra 3-pin connector, and a NIC that has a socket for the connector.
ATX power supplies are controlled via software, and your system is not truly turned off until you press the power switch on the back of the power supply. When you run a shutdown command or press the switch on the front of your computer case, the system goes into a standby mode. It still receives a little bit of power so WOL can work.

NPR Examines Whether Goal of Treating All HIV-Positive People With ARVs Is Feasible
July 26, 2012
Noting new guidelines released at the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) in Washington, D.C., this week "call for everybody with HIV to be started on antiretroviral drugs [ARVs] as soon as they test positive for the virus," NPR's "Shots" blog examines "whether the goal is achievable, and who would pay for this enormous expansion in treatment." "Right now about eight million people across the world are getting treated for HIV at a cost of around $17 billion a year," the blog writes, adding, "Universal treatment would cost another $22 billion, by some estimates." The blog notes Bernhard Schwartlander, director for evidence, strategy and results at UNAIDS, in a plenary speech at the conference on Tuesday "offered up several possible ways to raise the money," including a tax on shipping and aviation fuel (Knox, 7/26).

Film: Dredd (2012)
Rating: 8/10 (Action/sci-fi genre/comic genre)
Comments: One of the most genuinely entertaining action movies I've seen in a while: Gets straight to the point. I'd compare it to the very entertaining/watchable/quality go-see-it-at-the-cinema movie: Source Code (equally 8/10) ie for me that's ***** good mark appropriate for it's genre and what it aims to deliver. Really enjoyed. I just watched the last film: The Raid and - I was very bored and disappointed with that movie. It meandered even with the very impressive choreography: There was barely any attempt to have a story or keep the pace going. The comparison is apt as the concept is sorta similar and the reviewers have mentioned this. But for me Dredd worked a treat and imo the reason why was it was an action movie/a comic adaptation and someone in the making of that movie was able to put some arty cinematography and stylization of the plot into it, which really elevated the experience of guns, explosions and piling up body-count!
The 3 (4 if you include Kay!) main performers (2 judges and ma-ma) were all quality for the intended roles. As said the block was much more believable than The Raids and much more interestingly done: Sorta like a future sci-fi dungeon crawler. The thing that made Dredd work was the idea of having a "normal training day = exceptional circumstances treated as normal" ; the training of the rookie angle ; and the combo of different skills of this tag team.
The vision worked a treat too of the future scumbag city of mega-city-1 (I believe it was Jo'burg + ?) Also the slo-mo as part of the story but break-up of action and comparison of perception was again another sweet angle to the film. Definitely a film that exceeded itself.
Dredd: "You ready? You look ready."
Off-topic discussion unrelated to Star Command.

Tbh, it was all "action film gore/violence" - harmless stuff. Much tamer than other genres: "Guards! Guards!"
They may be called the Palace Guard, the City Guard, or the Patrol. Whatever the name, their purpose in any work of heroic fantasy is identical: it is, round about Chapter Three (or ten minutes into the film) to rush into the room, attack the hero one at a time, and be slaughtered. No-one ever asks them if they wanted to. This book is dedicated to those fine men.

The Jasper County School District's federal grade of "F" will be upheld, according to the South Carolina Department of Education.
Eleven state school districts appealed their grades, which were upheld for Jasper, Anderson 1, Cherokee, Dorchester 2, Florence 3, Greenville, Lexington 1, Marion 10, Orangeburg 3 and Sumter.
The agency reviewed the justifications submitted by the districts, redid the calculations using the formula approved by the U.S. Department of Education and concluded the grades originally issued are accurate.
"We used the scoring method approved by the U.S. Department of Education across the state and then carefully reviewed the reasons offered by school districts in their appeals," State Superintendent Mick Zais said. "We have taken into account all concerns raised by the districts and are confident that we have correctly analyzed these appeals."
Last year, 30 school districts filed 61 appeals and all grades were upheld.

Thanks to a free weekend trial at ArkivDigital, I recently discovered digitized parish records for your son, Magnus, my great-great grandfather, and your family in Soraby, Sweden.
This is where I discovered that the name our family has recorded for you, Soora Rottne, is actually the name of the neighborhood you lived in.
As a small gesture of penitence, for the rest of today I will refer to myself as
Yours truly,
Rocky Creek

How Does A Pool Filter Work?
A pool filter's main job is to make sure you are swimming in clean and clear water.
The pool pump cycles the water through the system, which passes into the pool filter.
The debris and particles are captured inside the filter, which allows the clean water to flow back through the system into your pool.
There are three types of filters: Cartridge, Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.), and Sand.
Cartridge and D.E. filters are required to be cleaned before the start and at the end of the busy swimming pool season.
Please give us a call if you have questions deciding what type of pool filter and what size you want.

Saturday 26th May 2012 -The Daily Galaxy – By Astro Joey
Rosetta Stella, Planet Girlo's Media mogul, announced today that she has linked in with Paper.li to create a new music magazine, Astro Joey and The Cosmic Rays Music
"I'm delighted to expand circulation of the band's news through Paper.li" she said from her Galaxic Headquarters. It will assist in expanding circulation into regional and remote Galaxies, which is important to the band, for the girls do not want isolated communities to be left out of the fun"
Ms Rosetta Stella's Blue Galaxy Network is still to be rolled out to the far outer regions of the universes. Although there are varied cultures and languages across the universe and galaxies, Ms Stella believes that the music publication can break down such barriers, as she considers that "music alone is a universal langauge" A philosophy that is held strong by the band as well.
The current access to the Blue Galaxy network is restricted in the outer regions for some planets, such as near Pluto. Spokeswoman for Pluto, Little Pluto, said that she was "over her four moons about the news, as it has been a difficult time for Pluto since being demoted as a Planet".
"Although Astro Joey and the Cosmic Rays can be found throughout the earthly web via facebook, twitter, reverbNation, Myspace, Google plus, I-broadcast tv, You Tube and Vimeo, our reception can go skewiff" sometimes "The paper.li, Astro Joey and the Cosmic Rays Music will just be fabulous".she said
Rosetta Stella and her Media Company are a keen player in the world of convergence media and delivering it to isolated communities as well as main stream communities. The company is currently encouraging partners for the new "Astro Joey & The Cosmic Rays adventure TV/web series. Interested parties can contact at firstname.lastname@example.com
Look out for the launch notice here where you can get a copy of Astro Joey and the Cosmic Rays Music Magazine here on this site. For a sneak peek visit http://paper.li/f-1337937638

I'm not able to complete the tutorial because the paths are blocked by two monsters that I cannot kill -- they both say "talk". We can talk all day, but eventually I need to kill them to proceed with the tutorial. I'm not sure what to do to get the "talk" description to go away so that I can kill them. One on the bottom of the map is a bandit who is level 1 and the other at the top of the map is a meatboy who is level 2. They both want to talk. I've listened to what they have to say, but now I want to kill.

Dr. Richard Sander, who led Virginia Commonwealth's athletic program for 20 years, was introduced as ETSU's interim Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on Jan. 15, 2013, and was later named to the permanent role in June of 2013.
Sander replaced longtime athletic director Dave Mullins.
"I am extremely excited to be given the opportunity to help ETSU move forward and build on the tremendous progress that has been achieved by the Buccaneer student-athletes under the direction of Dave Mullins and his coaches and staff," Sander said. "I had the privilege to be involved in the Committee for 125 strategic planning process, and it became clear that ETSU, under the visionary leadership of President Noland, has unlimited potential to become a major player on the national higher education landscape.
"It is an honor to have this opportunity to work with Dr. Noland, Coach Mullins and the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of ETSU, as well as our donors and members of the Tri-Cities region, as we shape the future of the university and its intercollegiate athletics program. During the upcoming six months, there will be significant opportunities for ETSU to position itself and to set the course for years to come."
Sander retired as athletic director from VCU in 2006 and later founded Docdi Consulting, LLC, which specializes in brand-enhancement initiatives and strategic planning working with such programs as Gonzaga, George Mason, Western Kentucky and the Colonial Athletic Association. During his tenure, the VCU Rams claimed 27 CAA (Colonial Athletic Association) championship titles and made deep runs in the NCAA tournaments in men's basketball, men and women's tennis, golf, men and women's soccer and baseball. Sander also oversaw nearly $40 million in capital improvements for VCU athletic facilities. These additions included the construction of Alltel Pavilion, which has been recognized as one of the nation's top home court advantage for men and women's basketball and women's volleyball teams while also serving as a venue for numerous special events.
Other additions included Sports Backers Stadium, home to the men's and women's soccer and men's and women's track teams, and also a new sports medicine building.
Sander was influential in bringing numerous NCAA championship competitions to the Richmond area, including the 2007 NCAA Golf Championship, the 1992 NCAA Field Hockey Championship, the 1994 NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four, the 2000 Women's Basketball East Regional Championship, and the 2000 NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship. Additionally, VCU has hosted national championship events in men's basketball, tennis and golf.
Sander also created, developed and implemented the nationally recognized Villa 7 program that helps prepare the next generation of head basketball coaches. Since its creation in 2002, over 50 current head basketball coaches have come through Villa 7 including Anthony Grant (Alabama), Shaka Smart (VCU), Buzz Williams (Marquette), John Groce (Illinois) and Josh Pastner (Memphis).
While at VCU, Sander created the VCU SportsCenter, an innovative graduate program that offers a master's degree in sport leadership. The SportsCenter provides students the opportunity to receive practical, hands-on experience in the sport industry. He also established VCU's Office of Student-Athlete Advising as an on-campus resource that offers academic advisors, tutors and student-athlete workrooms, and the Non-curricular Educational Support Training program, created to assist student-athletes in completing their degrees.
After retiring from VCU, he remained as director of the SportsCenter until 2008.
Sander began his career as head basketball coach at Howard High School in Chattanooga from 1970-1971 and later as an assistant at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.
In 1972, he moved to Cincinnati to serve as head basketball coach at Anderson High School, a post he held until 1982 when he became Assistant Athletic Director and was responsible for athletic fundraising at Memphis State University (now The University of Memphis). In 1986, he left Memphis to take the job at VCU. His duties expanded in 1994 when assumed the title of assistant to the president.
Sander earned a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1968. He received a M.S. in Physical Education from Xavier University in 1974, and a Ph.D. in Education from the University of Cincinnati in 1980. Sander and his wife, Mary, have a daughter, Leslie, and son, Jim, and one grandson, Jack.
"Dr. Sander is an esteemed leader in the field of intercollegiate athletics, and we are honored to have him join the ETSU family and to lead our program into this new era," said ETSU President Dr. Brian Noland. "The university is in the process of defining where we want to be as an institution in the next five, 10, and 25 years, and having Dr. Sander's expertise will be especially vital as we envision the future of our athletics program."
