Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal has signed four incoming freshmen - 5-foot-6 libero Cortney Crocker from Mater Dei in Breese, Ill.; 6-1 outside hitter Kaycee Green from Cookeville HS in Cookeville, Tenn.; 5-10 outside hitter Kory Honel from Bradley Bourbonnais Community High School in Bourbonnais, Ill.; and 6-foot outside hitter Amanda Rhein from Aaron Academy in Spring Hill, Tenn.
The rankings were made by a panel of college coaches from across the nation. The guidelines used include the size of the class, the overall strength of the class and the impact that class will have on the program.
The class members include only players who will be making their first appearance with a college team. Transfers and junior college players are not included in the evaluation.
The Lady Bisons have also signed Meghan Hinemeyer, an outside hitter from Clemson University. Hinemeyer spent the spring with the Lady Bisons.
Some of the other schools earning honorable mention include Colorado St., Long Beach State, Kansas, South Carolina, St. Louis, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, and Western Kentucky.
"I feel that the three freshmen outside hitters along with Hinemeyer will definitely bolster our line-up and add quite a bit. All four of the hitters hit with a lot of power and are all good defensive players," said Rosenthal. "The addition of Cortney is very exciting as well as she is a very good libero and will be expected to compete for the starting position immediately.
"This is a very experienced class at playing with nationally-recognized club teams. All have competed at the Junior Olympic National Tournaments over their years of club volleyball and have been very successful."
Rosenthal said he was very excited about the prospects for the 2009 class and was also excited to be recognized by Prepvolleyball. He praised the work of assistant coaches Samantha Sullivan and Ann Mullins.
"We are with great company and it is great that our recruiting efforts are so noted," said Rosenthal. "I am very proud of how hard this staff has worked to bring in such a wonderful class."
The last time the Lady Bisons were recognized with this honor was the 2007 class.
"The players that will be coming in will be tremendous assets to us on and off the court," said Rosenthal. "We are very focused on taking this program to new heights and 2009 should be a very exciting season, one in which I fully expect our goal to be to win the Atlantic Sun and return to the NCAA Tournament.
"I am extremely proud of what we have been able to do with this program over the past six years, full well knowing that we continue to be hungry and desire to be better on a daily basis. One thing that I talk about to our team and coaches is the importance of the phrase "ALWAYS BE EVOLVING". I have studied Phil Knight and his efforts with Nike since their inception to their rise as the world's most dominant athletic/shoe manufacture. Needless to say I think things worked out for Nike and if we can have that mindset, we too will continue to see our program succeed."

Oscar winner Maximilian Schell dead at 83
Austrian actor won Oscar for 1961's 'Judgment at Nuremberg.'
Austrian actor Maximilian Schell, who won a best actor Oscar for the 1961 film Judgment at Nuremberg, died Friday at age 83 after a long, undisclosed illness, his agent said.
Born in 1930 to Catholic parents in Vienna, Schell moved with the family to Switzerland following the 1938 Nazi annexation of his homeland.
After completing his compulsory national military service, he enrolled at the University of Basel, where he began acting in stage plays.
He made his screen debut in the 1955 German movie Kinder, Mütter und ein General (Children, Mother, and the General).
Four short years later, Schell played defense attorney Hans Rolfe in the TV drama Judgment at Nuremberg, a dramatization of the Nazi war crimes tribunal. So impressive was his performance that he was the only cast member asked to reprise his role in the 1961 film adaptation, alongside big names like Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Montgomery Clift and William Shatner. The role garnered him his first Academy Award nomination and his only win.
He was nominated two more times, also for World War II-related movies (1975's The Man in the Glass Booth and 1977's Julia). His other Nazi-themed projects include the 1980 adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank and 1974's The Odessa File.
Schell also produced and directed films, including documentaries about Marlene Dietrich and his own sister, fellow actor Maria, and was a gifted pianist.
His last Hollywood movie was 2009's The Brothers Bloom.
Schell was married twice, first to Russian actress Natalya Andreychenko, from whom he was divorced in 2005. Last year, he wed German-Croatian opera singer Iva Mihanovic, who survived him.

Safety Update
Test Your Grinder Safety Knowledge
"Because abrasive-wheel grinders are everyday equipment in workplaces nationwide," says Mancomm president and founder Benjamin W. Mangan, "many workers become complacent about their hazards. Improper use of a grinding wheel, or the use of one that is defective or damaged, can cause the wheel to break up. And those flying fragments can be deadly."
The safety-training CD covers a range of topics, including personal protective equipment, grinder and grinding-wheel RPM compatibility, ring tests, grinding-wheel installation, guard adjustment and aluminum-oxide grinding wheels.
While you're waiting for your CD to arrive, you might have your operators take this grinder-safety awareness quiz, derived from the audio portion of the CD. The answers appear at the bottom of this page.
1. Why should eye protection be used when operating a grinder?
A) To protect the worker's eyes from sparks.
B) To protect the worker's eyes from flying fragments, if the wheel breaks.
C) To protect the eyes from ultraviolet rays created by the hot metal.
2. Which of these are forms of personal protective equipment you may need while using a grinder?
A) Eye protection
B) Respirator
C) Ear plugs
D) All of the above
3. Why shouldn't you wear jewelry while operating a grinder?
A) The sparks will tarnish silver or gold.
B) It could get caught in the equipment.
C) The fumes will cause gems to become cloudy.
D) It's considered bad luck in many workplaces.
4. Why would you want to tap a grinding wheel with the nonmetallic handle of a screwdriver?
A) You would never want to do that, it could hurt the wheel.
B) If the wheel makes a ringing noise, you will know it is not fit for use.
C) It's part of a test to check the usability of the wheel.
D) Tapping a grinding wheel shakes any impurities out of its pores.
5. When gauging the compatibility between a grinder's RPM and a grinding wheel's RPM, remember:
A) The two numbers must be exactly the same.
B) The two numbers are not connected.
C) The RPM of the grinder is als twice that of the grinding wheel.
D) None of the above
6. When you need to put a new wheel on your grinder, what should you do with the wheel first?
A) Nothing. If it's a new wheel, straight out of its packaging, just put it right on the grinder.
B) Give it a "ring test" to make sure it is suitable for use.
C) Prepare it for use by soaking it in water for no less than 3 min.
D) Roll it across the floor to make sure it is perfectly round.
7. How much of a gap should there be between the work rest and the face of the grinding wheel?
A) 1⁄8 in. or less
B) No less than 1⁄8 in.
C) ¼ in.
D) 1 in.
8. If your grinder requires repairs, what kind of replacement parts should you use?
A) Any kind that will fit. Parts for most brands of grinders are interchangeable.
B) Only manufacturer-recommended replacement parts.
C) Only parts purchased from the same store as the grinder.
D) None of the above
9. The wheel hole diameter and the grinder arbor size are not the same. What can you do to make the wheel workable?
A) The wheel is not compatible with the grinder, do not install it.

1. Remember these basic rules first.
• Prerinse dishes if they're going to sit in the machine all day. But if you're running a cycle right away, just scrape off the food and leave it at that.
• Secure all plastics. If you don't, blasts of water may cause these pieces to flip over, fall onto the heating element and melt.
• Never stack items. The water spray won't be able to reach (or clean) the dish that's on top.
2. Load the bottom rack strategically.
• Load plates and bowls so that the dirty side faces the water spray. Pots, pans and casseroles should angle down for the best cleaning results.
• Watch out for utensils with long, thin handles.They might slip through the rack and prevent the spray arm from spinning freely.
• Tuck flat pans and platters along the sides and back of the rack. Never place them in front, by the door — they'll keep the detergent from reaching the dishes. (Tip: For extra side space, move your flatware basket to the center if possible.)
• Make sure the forks and spoons don't nest together. Place some handles up and others down so that all surfaces get washed.
• Always separate your stainless steel and silver (or silver-plated) flatware. If the two types touch in the wash, a reaction may occur and the silver could pit.
3. Cups go in the top rack.
• Place glasses and mugs between the tines — never on top. The tip of the prong can leave a water spot.
• Angle cups as much as the rack design will allow to keep water from pooling on the base of the upside-down cups. Still got puddles? Unload the bottom rack first to avoid the drip-down.
• Arrange wine glasses carefully. To help prevent breakage, don't let them bump against one another or the top of the dishwasher.
4. Don't stock up on too much detergent.
Powders, liquids and packets can all clean well. But the detergent has to be fresh or it won't do the job. A good rule of thumb: Buy only what you can use up within two months. And you should always store it in a cool, dry spot (not under the sink, where the detergent can clump or deteriorate).
