One of the fastest athletes in all of Etheria, Theydon was lured into Hordak�s experimentation matrix with promises of fame and fortune. Instead, the former record-holding runner was transformed into a terrible mutation and brainwashed to become an Evil Horde crony. Now a half-man half-machine, he became Dragstor � the vicious maniacal speed demon. He is able to move faster than any other warrior and he even outpaces some vehicles! Dragstor loves to chase down helpless victims and drag them back to Hordak. He transforms from evil warrior to evil vehicle, and in a burst of speed chases after enemies of the Horde with rip-roaring velocity!


The spare tire cover is one of the most overlooked accessories for your vehicle. These accessories come in soft leather, hard metal, and even vinyl. In the end, your spare tire cover makes sure your spare tire is ready when you need it. Even though you may never actually use your spare tire, your cover will ensure the replacement is always in good working order and your vehicle looks great. Continue reading to learn more about why a spare tire cover should be an included accessory for your automobile.
One of the main uses of your spare tire cover is to protect your tire from the harmful UV rays of the sun. If your tire is left out in the sun without protection, it will crack and shrivel. This means your tire will be rendered useless in the event of an emergency. These sun-dried and cracked tires will eventually deteriorate as the vehicle travels down the road, which can create another safety hazard.
In addition to protecting your spare tire from the sun, a tire cover helps keep your spare tire clean. When your spare tire is clean, it will perform at a much higher level compared to a tire that is left out in the elements to fend for itself. In the end, a clean spare tire will provide a much nicer and smoother ride than the alternative.
It's your vehicle and you deserve to make sure it looks as great as possible. Tire covers are one of the easiest ways to accessorize your vehicle and show off your personality. Whether it's your favorite team, a military cover, or a plain tire cover, tire covers offer you the opportunity to show off your style. At the same time, you can use a protective tire cover to coordinate with the colors of your vehicle. The tire cover possibilities are endless.
In the end, a spare tire cover will help protect your "Ace in the hole" and make sure your spare tire is there when you need it. In addition, you can use your spare tire cover to further express your personality with your favorite NCAA Team (basketball, football, hockey) or just about anything else.

Objective In this study, the incidence and the sex-specific predictors of running-related injury (RRI) among a group of recreational runners training for a 4-mile running event were determined and identified, respectively.
Design Prospective cohort study.
Methods Several potential risk factors were prospectively measured in 629 novice and recreational runners. They were observed during an 8-week training period for any running-related musculoskeletal injuries of the lower limbs and back. A running-related injury was defined as any musculoskeletal pain of the lower limb or back causing a restriction of running for at least 1 day.
Results At least one RRI was reported by 25.9% of the runners during the 8-week observation period. The incidence of RRI was 30.1 (95% CI 25.4 to 34.7) per 1000 h of running exposure. Multivariate Cox regression showed that male participants were more prone to sustain a RRI than female participants (HR 1.4; 95% CI 1.0 to 2.0). No previous running experience was the most important risk factor in male (HR 2.6; 95% CI 1.2 to 5.5) and female (HR 2.1; 95% CI 1.2 to 3.7) participants.
Conclusions The incidence of running-related injuries in recreational runners preparing for a 4-mile running event is substantially high. Male and female participants have different risk profiles. Furthermore, the findings suggest that novice runners may benefit the most out of preventive interventions for RRI.

The popularity of running as a recreational activity is high and is still increasing. Nowadays, almost every city in Western society has its own marathon and recreational running events. The reason for novice runners to participate in a running programme is most likely to improve health and fitness and for intermediate runners to improve personal performance.1
Apart from its beneficial health effects, running also puts runners at a risk of developing a runningrelated injury (RRI). In the literature, injury rate of RRI is expressed in number of RRIs (or injured runners) per 100 runners at risk, and when exposure is measured, the incidence of RRI in number of RRIs (or injured runners) per 1000 h of running is also included.2 Reported injury rates of RRIs per 100 runners at risk is high, and varies from 30% to 79%,1 3,–,8 and injury incidence from 7 to 59 RRIs per 1000 h of running.3,–,5 9 The wide disparity of incidence rates found in several studies on RRI is caused by variations in definition of injury, differences in population at risk (novice, recreational and elite runners with different training loads) and differences in the duration of follow-up periods (time at risk). Most of the RRIs (50%–75%) are injuries due to overuse located at the knee or below.10,–,17
The aetiology of the RRIs is multifactorial, with both intrinsic (personal) and extrinsic (environmental) factors contributing. Intrinsic factors include age, sex, body mass index (BMI), physical fitness, previous injury and anatomical alignment. Extrinsic factors can be running distance and frequency per week, predominant running surface, running shoe age and running shoe type. In the literature, only four factors ((1) reported running experience, (2) previous injury, (3) running to compete and (4) excessive weekly running distance) have been associated consistently with RRI.2 A more recent systematic review on determinants of lower extremity running injuries in longdistance runners shows that higher training distance per week in male runners and a history of previous injuries in male and female runners were risk factors for sustaining an RRI.18 Conflicting or no evidence is found for other factors like age, BMI, static biomechanical alignment, running surface, running frequency, warm up and stretching.18 Furthermore, male and female runners have different risk profiles for RRI.1 In addition, risk factors can interact and therefore should be considered simultaneously to adjust for confounding.19 Eventually, a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors predisposes runners to develop an RRI.
Until now, most of the studies on incidence and risk factors of RRI are conducted on long-distance runners. Inclusion of novice runners in prospective cohort studies on the risk factors for RRI will reduce the healthy runner selection bias.20 Only a limited number of studies exist that control for the time at risk, that is, exposure time, and little is known about different risk profiles for RRI between male and female recreational runners. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of RRI and to identify sex-specific predictors of RRI among a group of novice and recreational runners training during an 8-week period for a 4-mile running event.
Study period and settings
A prospective cohort design was used for the study. A flowchart of the study is shown in fig 1. Potential participants for the study were 1459 recreational runners who signed up for the "4-mile training programme", an 8-week programme to prepare for the Groningen 4-mile. The Groningen 4-mile is a major recreational annual running event in the northern part of The Netherlands. Over 15 000 mainly novice and recreational runners participate in it each year in the first week of October.
Flowchart of the Groningen 4-Mile Study.
Study procedure and subjects
All participants (n = 1459) who signed up for the 4-mile training programme were invited by mail to participate in the study. Information about the study, a baseline questionnaire, an informed consent form, and a running diary were sent along with the invitation. The only exclusion criterion was being younger than 18 years. The standardised baseline questionnaire covered demographic variables and questions on potential risk factors for RRI. The potential risk factors for RRI that were assessed by the baseline questionnaire were age, sex, BMI, current and past musculoskeletal injuries of the lower limb, running experience and current running routines (years of experience and frequency and duration in hours per week), participation in other sports (hours per week and type of sports: axial loading or non-axial loading) and motivation for entering the programme (health/fitness or competitive/personal performance). Running experience was assessed by the baseline questionnaire. The participants had to categorise themselves as novice runners, runners with previous experience who have taken up running again or runners who were already engaged in regular running.
During the programme, participants registered information on exposure to running and RRI in a personal running diary. The running diary consisted of eight sections (one for each training week). The total minutes of running and the occurrence of running-related pain during or after running were registered per day. The running-related pain was scored as pain after running, pain during running without a restriction in running, pain that caused a restriction in running mileage, running pace or running duration, or running not possible as a result of running-related pain. At the end of the programme, the participants returned their running diary by mail.
The study design, procedures and informed consent procedure were approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). All participants provided written informed consent.
The training programme was developed by a coach of the Royal Dutch Athletics Association. Five training clinics were part of the training programme and were organised by local running clubs at the end of the third to seventh weeks. The 8-week training programme required participants to run three times per week in the first to seventh weeks and twice in the last week of the programme. The programme finished with the 4-mile running event at the end of the eighth week. Within the training programme for the Groningen 4-mile, deviations were made for novice and recreational runners. The training programme for novice runners started with ten 1-minute repetitions of running alternated by 1 minutes of walking. The training programme for experienced runners started with 30 minutes of continuous running. The exposure time of running in the training programmes for novice and recreational runners varied, respectively, between 10–40 and 20–60 minutes per training.
Injury definition
A running-related injury was defined as any musculoskeletal pain of the lower limb or back causing a restriction in running (mileage, pace or duration) for at least 1 day.
Demographic variables and potential risk factors for RRI were analysed for differences between male and female participants at baseline using two-tailed t tests for normally distributed continuous variables. χ2 statistics were used for discrete variables. Differences were considered statistically significant at p<0.05. Incidence of RRI was calculated for all participants and for men and women separately as the number of new injuries reported per 1000 h of running exposure. Exposure time (in hours of running exposure) was calculated from the time a participant started the running programme until he reported an RRI (injured runners) or until the end of the programme (noninjured runners).
Potential risk factors for RRI were first univariately analysed to see the independent relation with RRI. Variables independently associated (p≤0.25) with RRI among either men or women were entered in sex-specific multivariate Cox regression prediction models. Hazard ratios (HR) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for the factors associated with RRI. All analyses were performed using SPSS V.14.0.
A total of 1459 recreational runners signed up for the 4-mile running clinics. Among them, 899 were willing to participate in the study and completed the baseline questionnaire. Of the 899 who consented to participate, 24 were younger than 18 years and were therefore excluded. Data of 629 of 875 participants were analysed, 207 men (33%) and 422 women (67%). Two hundred forty-six participants returned their running diary Consequently, they were excluded from data analyses. neither started running nor over the full 8-week period.
Baseline characteristics
Baseline characteristics of 629 recreational runners are shown in table 1. Most of the participants used the training programme to restart running (44%) or were running (25%). The main reason training programme was to improve fitness and health (70%). Male participants (33%) were 4.2 years older (p<0.05) than female participants (67%) and showed a significantly higher BMI (25.9 vs 24.4, p<0.05). Furthermore, male participants already participating in for participating in the were less active in sports (43% vs 62% in female participants) before the training programme (p<0.05).
Running diary analysis
Exposure of running
Over the 8-week period of the programme, mean exposure time of running among female participants was 9.1 (SD 5.5 h) versus 9.8 (SD 5.3 h) for male participants. The novice runners ran 7.1 (SD 5.9 h), while the experienced runners had an exposure time of 13.1 (SD 5.4 h) in the 8-week training period. The increase of weekly exposure is illustrated in fig 2A–C.
Mean exposure time per week for (A) novice runners, (B) runners with previous experience who have taken up running again, and (C) runners who were already engaged in regular running. sustaining an RRI. Higher BMI was also a risk factor for RRI in female participants (HR 1.1; 95% CI 1.0 to 1.1).
Incidence of RRI
A total of 163 new RRIs were recorded by 629 runners at risk. To estimate the incidence, ie, the number of RRIs per 1000 h of running exposure, exposure time until the first RRI was used. Therefore, the exposure time in table 2 is somewhat lower than the total exposure time. The incidence of RRIs per 1000 h of running exposure was 30.1 (95% CI 25.4 to 34.7). The difference between the incidence of RRIs per 1000 h of exposure in male and female participants was 7.5 (95% CI −2.6 to 17.6). The injury rate ie number of RRIs per 100 runners at risk, was significantly higher in male participants than in female participants (31.4% vs 23.2%, p = 0.03). If pain as a result of running (without restriction of running) was included in the definition of RRI, the number of RRIs per 100 runners at risk would be as high as 59.9% in male and 60.6% in female participants.
Number and percentage of participants sustaining RRP and RRIs, total running exposure time, and incidence of RRI per 1000 h of running exposure during the 8-week follow-up
Of all runners sustaining an RRI, 39 of 98 (40%) female runners and 24 of 65 (37%) male runners did not restart running during the 8-week training period (p>0.05). Among novice runners, significantly more (p = 0.02), that is, 30 of 62 (48%) did not restart running after sustaining an RRI, compared with 8 of 33 (24%) among runners who were already engaged in regularly running at baseline. Among the runners with previous running experience who had taken up running again, 25 of 68 (37%) did not restart running.
The anatomical distribution of all RRIs is shown in fig 3. The lower leg (calf and shin) was the most frequently injured anatomical site in women (35 of 98), and the knee in men (25 of 65). Most of the RRIs appeared at the knee and below in female (67%) and in male participants (80%). The only significant difference between male and female participants was the percentage of RRIs localised at the knee, that is, 23% in female versus 39% in male participants.
Anatomical distribution of RRIs in male and female participants.
Risk factors for RRI
All variables assessed at baseline were analysed to see the relation with the occurrence of an RRI. An overview of all potential risk factors and hazard ratios is shown in table 3.
Univariate Cox regression models for male and female participants
Univariate Cox regression analyses
The univariate Cox regression analyses showed that male participants were not at higher risk than female participants (HR 1.3; 95% CI 1.0 to 1.8). The variable age was significantly related with sustaining an RRI in male participants—that is, younger male runners were at higher risk of sustaining an RRI (p<0.001). Furthermore, running experience was protective for sustaining an RRI. BMI, motivation for entering the programme, previous sports activity and previous injury of the lower extremity were not significantly associated with RRI (p>0.05).
Higher BMI in female participants was related to the risk of sustaining an RRI (p<0.05). Univariate Cox regression analysis also shows that in female participants (non-axial), previous sports activity (HR 1.8; 95% CI 1.1 to 3.2) and no previous running experience (HR 2.3; 95% CI 1.3 to 4.0) were significantly associated with the hazard of sustaining an RRI. All other variables assessed at baseline were independently not significantly associated with RRI (see table 3).
Multivariate Cox regression analyses
Table 4 shows the significant factors of the multivariate Cox regression models for male and female participants separately. Sex (male), corrected for age, BMI, previous sports activities and running experience were significantly related to RRI (HR 1.4; 95% CI 1 to 2). Older age was associated with lower risk of RRI in male participants. Lack of running experience was the most important risk factor for RRI in men (HR 2.6; 95% CI 1.2 to 5.5) and in women (HR 2.1; 95% CI 1.2 to 3.7). Furthermore, female runners who reportedly engaged in non-axial sports activities at baseline were at a higher risk (HR 1.9; 95% CI 1.1 to 3.2) of sustaining an RRI. Higher BMI was also a risk factor for RRI in female participants (HR 1.1; 95% CI 1.0 to 1.1).
Multivariate Cox regression models for male and female participants
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to determine the incidence of RRI, expressed as the number of RRIs per 1000 h of running and per 100 runners at risk, and to determine the sexspecific risk factors associated with RRI in runners who are specific risk factors associated with RRI in runners who are week period. Information gathered by means of this study is used to determine who are at risk for developing an RRI.
Incidence and characteristics of RRI
The incidence of RRI of 25.9% in our cohort of 629 recreational runners at risk is comparable with the incidences found in other studies. The "Vancouver Sun Run" study1 showed an injury incidence of 29.5% in a group of runners following a 13-week training programme preparing for a 10 km running event. A second study, also on recreational runners, showed an incidence of 58%,3 with novice participants training for a 15 km run during a period of 28 weeks. Since our study had a shorter follow-up and therefore less time at risk, the smaller number of RRIs per 100 runners at risk may be obvious. If we defined RRI according to the definition of Taunton et al1—pain as a result of running—the number of RRIs per 100 runners at risk would be as high as 60.4%.
Only a few studies on RRIs have assessed exposure time in a way that the incidence per 1000 h of exposure to running could be calculated. The overall incidence of 30 per 1000 h of running exposure was higher than the incidence of 12 per 1000 h found by Bovens et al3 Although the definitions of RRI were identical, duration of follow-up and ultimate goal of training were different—training for a marathon versus a 4-mile race. Lun et al4 found an incidence rate of 59 per 1000 h of exposure during a follow-up of 6 months. The most important difference with this study is that participants were already running more than 20 km/week at baseline. Also, 46 participants were lost to follow-up, whereas only 87 runners were included in the analyses. Our study showed that more than 70% of the RRI were localised at the knee and below. This result is in line with other studies on RRI.1 3 7 Novice runners were the most disadvantaged by an RRI, that is, they did not start running after sustaining an RRI. This might not be such a strange finding. Novice runners have no experience, and a 4-mile run can be a big hurdle for a novice runner. In this manner, by sustaining an injury, it is likely that the runner thinks that the remaining training time is too short for him or her to be able to complete the 4-mile run. A more experienced (recreational) runner may be able to listen properly to the language of his or her body, better than a novice runner. An experienced runner might also be able to feel or know whether he or she is able to complete the race, even without the full 8 weeks of training. Furthermore, an experienced runner is used to running on a regular basis and may be addicted to running, and therefore more likely to keep running.
Potential risk factors for RRI
The multivariate Cox regression model showed that male participants were at a higher risk than female participants. On the other hand, when sex was analysed univariately, there was no significant relation with RRI. Macera6 21 stated that in population-based studies, the injury rate was the same for male and female recreational and elite runners. This finding is in contrast with the results from a recent systematic review article on risk factors for RRI in long-distance runners, in which the only statistically significant association for overall lower extremity running injuries showed a positive relation with the female sex.18
Age and BMI
In the current study, younger age in male participants was positively associated with the risk of sustaining an RRI. This finding is supported by other studies that conclude that increasing age was significantly related with lower incidences of RRI.7 22 A reason for this phenomenon could be "the healthy runner effect", whereby only those runners who stay injury-free continue to run.7 On the other hand, only 25% of the participants in our study population were already engaged in regular running. Other studies conclude that increasing age is a statistically significant risk factor for sustaining an RRI.1 23 Higher BMI is associated with sustaining an RRI in female participants. Heavier persons may have a higher risk of RRI because of the added physical stress of extra weight.21 Different associations between BMI and RRIs are found in the literature: Marti7 found that lower BMI (<19.5) and higher BMI (>27) were risk factors for development of RRI.
Previous sports activities
Only women who where participating in sports activities without axial loading at baseline (eg, cycling and swimming) were 1.8 times at higher risk (95% CI 1.1 to 3.2) than women participating in sports activities with axial load at baseline, that is, sports involving running and jumping. Other studies found no clear links between participation in other sports activities and development of RRI.7 8 The difference between our results and results from other studies could be caused by the fact that we categorised "previous sports activities" into axial loading and non-axial loading.
Running experience
Lack of running experience was the most important risk factor for male and female participants in this study (HR 2.6 in men and 2.1 in women). In another study on RRI, participants who were running less than 3 years were 2.2 times at a higher risk compared to the more experienced ones.6 Review articles of van Mechelen2 and Hoeberigs24 also state that running inexperience is a major risk factor for sustaining an RRI. Although they arrive at the same conclusion, caution is advised when making a comparison with our study, since in those studies, running experience was assessed as the number of years engaged in running, and the study populations were different compared to our study, that is, participants had more running experience.
Previous injury of the lower extremity
No association was found between previous injury of the lower extremity and RRI. Hootman et al25 stated that "previous lower extremity injuries that were completely healed should not increase the risk for a subsequent lower extremity injury". According to Taunton et al,1 of those with a previous injury, 42% indicated not being completely rehabilitated before starting with the training programme. It is not clear whether a high rate of re-injury suggests incomplete healing of the original injury, a personal susceptibility for re-injury, or an uncorrected biomechanical problem.21 A recent systematic review on incidence and determinants of lower extremity running injuries in longdistance runners showed strong evidence that a history of previous injuries was a risk factor for RRI.18 Again, most of the studies that were included consisted of participants engaged in long-distance running. Also, in most of the studies on risk factors for RRI, it is not clear whether previous injuries are about "running-related" injuries of the lower extremity. If that is the case, a personal propensity for an uncorrected biomechanical problem could be the explanation.21
The incidence of RRI found in this study was 30.1 per 1000 h of running exposure. Of all runners at risk, 25.9% sustained an RRI during the 8-week period, and of those who sustained injury, 39% did not restart running.
Male and female participants have different risk profiles. The study showed that for male recreational runners, younger age and lack of running experience were significant risk factors for RRI. In female participants, higher BMI, type of previous sports activities (non-axial loading) and lack of running experience were all significant risk factors for sustaining an RRI during the 8-week follow-up. Male participants were more prone to sustain an RRI after correcting for age, BMI, previous sports activity and running experience. The highest drop-out rate was seen in novice runners after sustaining an RRI. Care should be taken when interpreting this result as the study period was relatively short. Also, the sex-specific risk models for RRI showed that among both male and female participants, novice runners were the most at risk. These findings suggest that novice runners are the ones who may benefit most from preventive interventions for RRI.
What is already known on this topic
Incidence of RRI in recreational runners is high.
What this study adds
Accurate data collection of RRI and exposure resulted in more precise information on incidence of RRI in recreational runners and potential risk factors. This information gives health care providers the possibility to reach those runners who are most vulnerable for developing an RRI, that is,. novice runners.

How far back do they go? How accurate do you think they are? And what, if anything, do they tell you about the adult you have become?
The accepted view of childhood memories, called the amnesia of childhood by Freud, is that very few adults remember anything much before the age of three. In a recent article in Psychology Today: "The Shifting Boundary of Childhood Amnesia" Charles Fernyhough points out that the issue is less about children remembering, and more about adults forgetting.
In Honor's Shadow Honor, a psychiatrist, asks her client, Tisi, to recall her three earliest memories and the feelings she had about them at the time. Tisi tells how, aged five, she drew a picture of bees in a sunny garden, that won the admiration of her teacher and parents. As an adult, she sometimes draws a copy of that picture as a way to soothe herself, remembering the warmth of her parents' love, and how, briefly, it stopped their arguments.
But how accurate are these old memories, that may shape our lives, our characters, and the decisions we make, about ourselves and other people? The Devil's Music a novel by Jane Rusbridge, opens with a dramatic childhood event, the memory of which shapes the life of the main character. Later, when he shares this memory with his sister, Rusbridge shows how the same event can be recalled very differently, with drastic consequences.
In fiction writing, a powerful way to make a character more real and believable is to relate one of their early memories: as in life, they can provide the key to the emotional experiences that shape a person.
"Here was her past, in chronological order. Here were all the people she had loved, and still loved; here were her family and her friends, having good times; here were her beloved children.
What are the things you want to forget?
Do wounds ever heal? Do loves ever end?

1. What team in the 80's played in five district tournament games in the same season?
2. What team in the 70's lost in the quarterfinal round of the district tournament and still made it to state?
3. What team from long ago played in two district tournaments in the same season?
B Historian wrote: 1. What team in the 80's played in five district tournament games in the same season?
Can't wait to see these answers. Number one would have to be a team that had more than I teams in the district and played in a challenge game to get to region.
Number two has me baffled because only 1 or 2 teams from each district went to the region, meaning that the quarterfinals of the district was an elimination game.
Number three I am guessing was either during WWII, or had something to do with the Legion.
One a different note, Linton played 5 district tournament games in 1999. They were the 9th seed and beat Tappen in the first round and Napoleon in the quarterfinals. They then lost to Steele-Dawson in semis, Cackle-Streeter in 3rd place game, and Strasburg in challenge game. That was the only year Dan Carr did not take a team to the region in his 36 years at Linton.
1. Through all my data I couldn't find anyone in the 80's that played in five district tourney games...as far as my booklet states...8 teams was the max in a district and therefore no 'play-in' games were possible with the possibility of a challenge game...but then again there may be a technicality that I am missing.
South Heart is the right answer to #2.
The answer to both of the first two questions comes from District 29 and the strange tournament setup at the time. The tournament was set up like a wrestling bracket where a first round loser could come back and finish 3rd. If the teams that finished 2nd and 3rd hadn't played then there was a challenge game.
Beat Golva in quarterfinal round.
Lost to New England in semifinals.
Beat Beach in consolation round.
Beat New England St. Mary's in 3rd place game.
Beat South Heart in challenge game.
There were five other teams in the D29 tournament in 1986 and Belfield played all of them!
Of course Belfield went on to beat Glen Ullin in a huge upset in the R7 championship game and went on to finished second in the state.
B Historian wrote: 3. What team from long ago played in two district tournaments in the same season?
The answer to this question is Svea in 1934, which was a dual member of the Consolidated League and the High School League (precursor to NDHSAA). Svea lost to eventual state champion Grandin in the Consolidated League District 4 championship game. But since the Class B District 3 tournament was a week later, Svea went ahead ahead and entered that tournament as well, which it went on to win and advanced all the way to the Class B title game before losing to Grafton.
The High School League then made a rule that any team that had participated in a Consolidated League tournament was ineligible for the Class B tournaments.
1. What school forfeited a regional tournament game so they could compete in a national tournament instead?
2. What two teams played in the 1974 game that started with 11 technical fouls?
3. In 1920-21 a team won games by scores of 130-4 and 113-3. Who was the team?
1. Not sure on this one.
2. Robinson and Tuttle. The Tuttle coach forgot to list 11 of his players in the scorebook so they received 11 technicals at the start of the game. Robinson made 9 of 11 technical free throws and went on to win 68-48.
3. I will guess Valley City since they were very good that year. This was before my time.
Correct on number 2. Number 3 is a good guess, but wasn't them.
That is crazy. Today, this would be a single T. I wonder if that was the rule then and the officials messed up or if there was a rule change.
The answer to number 1 is Minot St. Leo's in the 30s and number 3's answer is Hazen.
The Schwab wrote: The answer to number 1 is Minot St. Leo's in the 30s and number 3's answer is Hazen.
Interesting. It appears as if the St. Leo's forfeit came in 1933. Cando was the beneficiary of no regional game and went on to finish second in the state.
What is the background with the Hazen scores?
I will have to double check who they beat. There wasn't any information given besides the scores (in the History of North Dakota basketball book). If I remember right, one of the teams was Dunn Center.
Last time class B boys or girls swept the 2 game series?
Last time class B won all 4 games?
'81 Class B won 3 - 4. Girls won both and boys split. Not sure since then.
Pretty sure Class B swept all 4 games sometime in the mid to late 90's. Not sure if that was the only time.
Correction: Class B has never swept series.
Pretty sure the boys swept in '95 and also again in 2001.
Last edited by Bison-Vikes #1 on Thu Jul 12, 2018 10:00 am, edited 1 time in total.
does anyone have the scores to this years 4 games!
winner-within wrote: does anyone have the scores to this years 4 games!
Did some research. Class B has never swept the series.
Last time both teams won on the same night was in 2010 at Bismarck.
Here's a question: Could not find results for '87 - '89. Did they quit having these games during that period?
Class B swept in 1988.
1. One team beat another team five times in the same season, including the state championship game. What year did this happen?
2. Which team was outscored by 26 points in three state tournament games but still finished in 2nd place?
Those two teams played 5 times that year, but Rolla did not win all five. Bottineau won the first four and Rolla then won the state title game.
My guess would be Milnor in 1966.

Home › VALUE › VALUE Rubric Development Project
Inquiry and Analysis VALUE Rubric
The VALUE rubrics were developed by teams of faculty experts representing colleges and universities across the United States through a process that examined many existing campus rubrics and related documents for each learning outcome and incorporated additional feedback from faculty. The rubrics articulate fundamental criteria for each learning outcome, with performance descriptors demonstrating progressively more sophisticated levels of attainment. The rubrics are intended for institutional-level use in evaluating and discussing student learning, not for grading. The core expectations articulated in all 16 of the VALUE rubrics can and should be translated into the language of individual campuses, disciplines, and even courses. The utility of the VALUE rubrics is to position learning at all undergraduate levels within a basic framework of expectations such that evidence of learning can by shared nationally through a common dialog and understanding of student success.

Inquiry and Analysis VALUE Rubric (pdf)
Inquiry and Analysis VALUE Rubric (doc)
Inquiry is a systematic process of exploring issues, objects or works through the collection and analysis of evidence that results in informed conclusions or judgments. Analysis is the process of breaking complex topics or issues into parts to gain a better understanding of them.
Framing Language
This rubric is designed for use in a wide variety of disciplines. Since the terminology and process of inquiry are discipline-specific, an effort has been made to use broad language which reflects multiple approaches and assignments while addressing the fundamental elements of sound inquiry and analysis (including topic selection, existing, knowledge, design, analysis, etc.) The rubric language assumes that the inquiry and analysis process carried out by the student is appropriate for the discipline required. For example, if analysis using statistical methods is appropriate for the discipline then a student would be expected to use an appropriate statistical methodology for that analysis. If a student does not use a discipline-appropriate process for any criterion, that work should receive a performance rating of "1" or "0" for that criterion.
In addition, this rubric addresses the products of analysis and inquiry, not the processes themselves. The complexity of inquiry and analysis tasks is determined in part by how much information or guidance is provided to a student and how much the student constructs. The more the student constructs, the more complex the inquiry process. For this reason, while the rubric can be used if the assignments or purposes for work are unknown, it will work most effectively when those are known. Finally, faculty are encouraged to adapt the essence and language of each rubric criterion to the disciplinary or interdisciplinary context to which it is applied.
The definitions that follow were developed to clarify terms and concepts used in this rubric only.
Conclusions: A synthesis of key findings drawn from research/evidence.
Limitations: Critique of the process or evidence.
Implications: How inquiry results apply to a larger context or the real world.
Acceptable Use and Reprint Permissions
For information on how to reference and cite the VALUE rubrics, visit: How to Cite the VALUE Rubrics.
Individuals are welcome to reproduce the VALUE rubrics for use in the classroom, on educational web sites, and in campus intra-institutional publications. A permission fee will be assessed for requests to reprint the rubrics in course packets or in other copyrighted print or electronic publications intended for sale. Please see AAC&U's permission policies for more details and information about how to request permission.
VALUE rubrics can also be used in commercial databases, software, or assessment products, but prior permission from AAC&U is required. For all uses of rubrics for commercial purposes, each rubric must be maintained in its entirety and without changes.

Alphabet's Jigsaw extends its cyber protections to Europe's upcoming elections
By Steven Melendez
Jigsaw, the Alphabet unit that aims to make the world safer through technology, is expanding its Project Shield technology that protects against distributed denial of services attacks to European political organizations, campaigns, and candidates, the company said Tuesday.
Project Shield already defends news and human rights organizations against the attacks, which overwhelm servers with bogus traffic so legitimate requests can't get through. Since last May it has also protected participating U.S. political organizations and should be in place for European Parliament elections in May 2019.
DDOS attacks aren't just a theoretical worry: In 2017, hackers targeted the Czech Republic's statistical office as it was counting votes and attacked Spain's Constitutional Court amid disputes between Spain's central government and the regional government in Catalonia, according to Jigsaw. In Mexico's election last year, attackers would actually try to overload party websites in real time as they were mentioned during televised debates, says Scott Carpenter, director of policy and international engagement at Jigsaw.
"Generally speaking DDOS as an attack is on the rise across the various threat vectors," he says. "Any moment of elections is an especially critical moment, and what we've been learning over time is whether it's an election campaign, a TV debate, an opportunity to raise funds, or calculating the results at the end of the election, those are all moments of vulnerability."
The Jigsaw offering is part of its larger Protect Your Election initiative, which also gives training and Google account security tools to officials, candidates, and journalists, as well as providing a tool called Perspective to automatically detect abusive online comments.
Alphabet isn't the only big tech company focusing on election integrity. Facebook has taken steps to boost ad transparency and curb fake accounts and disinformation after controversies around the 2016 U.S. election, and Microsoft has its own Defending Democracy Program to protect candidates from hacking, secure election operations, and counter disinformation. Cloudflare also offers free DDOS protection to qualifying groups working on "arts, human rights, civil society, or democracy" through its Project Galileo initiative.
Jigsaw's Project Shield might expand into more countries in the future, Carpenter says, as the company works to launch the service in compliance with each jurisdiction's campaign finance laws.

Changes in prostate volume in japanese patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia: Association with other urological measures and risk of surgical intervention: Original article: Clinical investigations
Taiji Tsukamoto, Naoya Masumori, Haruo Nakagawa, Yoichi Arai, Akira Komiya, Tomohiko Ichikawa, Mineo Takei, Akito Yamaguchi, Ying Liu, Martin M. Crane
MED - Medical Sciences
Objectives: To evaluate changes in prostate volume (PV) and its association with selected urological measures and risk of surgical intervention in Japanese men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods: The medical records of all consecutive urologist-diagnosed BPH patients of ≥40 years old who attended any of four urology clinics in Japan during January 2004-June 2006 were reviewed. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal data were captured to analyze baseline correlations among urological measures, to evaluate the longitudinal changes in PV and selected urological measures, and to examine the predictors of surgical intervention. Results: The follow-up period was 2.8 years. Mean PV and mean prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of 1331 eligible patients were 34.0 mL and 4.0 ng/mL, respectively. Both measures increased directly with age. Baseline PV correlated with residual urine volume (r = 0.18, P < 0.05) and PSA (r = 0.41, P < 0.001). Among 319 patients who had more than one PV measurement, PV increased in 51% of patients, remained the same in 28% and decreased in 21%. Use of α-blockers at baseline and during follow up was not associated with PV change. Patients who had a PV ≥30 mL, a severe International Prostate Symptom Score and a PSA level ≥1.5 ng/mL at baseline, were more likely to have surgical intervention during the follow-up period. Conclusions: Predictors generated in this study may help to identify a subset of BPH patients at high risk of surgical intervention.

Among 319 patients who had more than one PV measurement, PV increased in 51% of patients, remained the same in 28% and decreased in 21%. Use of α-blockers at baseline and during follow up was not associated with PV change. Patients who had a PV ≥30 mL, a severe International Prostate Symptom Score and a PSA level ≥1.5 ng/mL at baseline, were more likely to have surgical intervention during the follow-up period.

The Tilehurst End Crystal Ball 2015 - Part 2
We continue our look at where we think some of Reading's brightest prospects will end up in five years time with a look at the key midfielders and forwards.
By Wimb, WilliamOwain, Marc Mayo, and Royal Hoops Jul 26, 2015, 11:47am BST
Share All sharing options for: The Tilehurst End Crystal Ball 2015 - Part 2
Tony Marshall/Getty Images
As with part one of our crystal ball, we'll be taking our best guess at where these Reading Academy products will be playing their football in five years time. Also worth noting these were predictions carried out before any pre-season action had taken place.
Midfielder: Tariqe Fosu
Marc Mayo (MM): An excellent prospect, I say on the evidence of 70 minutes of football. Inconsistency will be his big problem and while raw he reminds me of Michail Antonio, so he could grace the Premier League but those rough edges could take a while to sandpaper down.
Prediction: Championship
WilliamOwain (WO):Very skilful player and such a good penalty taker I was surprised Garath McCleary took the penalty at Derby. Impressed in the three games I saw him play in 2012 though like many of the players did tire badly. It will be interesting to see how he does next season.
Prediction: Lower Premier League/Higher Championship (like Obita might need to be part of a promotion winning team to make the Premier League)
Wimb (W): Fosu's debut at Derby was one of the most exciting we've seen from an Academy product in quite a while and the fact there was interest from Premier League clubs this summer shows how highly regarded the young winger is. Has all the tools to make it, just a case of continuing to put in the hard work.
Prediction: Lower Premier League
Midfielder: Aaron Kuhl
Royal Hoops (RH): He's exactly the sort of midfielder every top side is after nowadays. Deep-lying, okay defensively and with a superb pass on him, he can go far. The fact Manchester City were after him a year or so ago says a lot about the talent this Sideshow Bob lookalike has.
Prediction: Mid Premier League.
WO:A real leader at youth level. He looks so calm and composed on the ball. One of the biggest disappointments last season was his disappearance from the first team after September. The one question mark against him is his ability to play in a team which doesn't dominate possession like the talented youth team he captained.
Prediction: Lower Premier League/Higher Championship
MM:The captain of the team at youth level is always your best player, so you know the club rate Kuhl. If he reaches PL level he'll be excellent as his style suits many teams, but whether he can deal with the more hoof ball stuff down in the Championship could be his failing.
Midfielder: Aaron Tshibola
WO: I've seen him twice and both times I've formed the same opinion: he's got the touches but struggles to have a real positive influence on the game. However, it would be harsh to judge him on two games and he did have a very successful loan spell at Hartlepool though the step up from League Two to Championship is a big one.
Prediction: Lower Championship / Higher League One
W: I remember seeing him in the FA Youth Cup a couple of seasons ago and really being impressed with his presence. The way he got stuck into a relegation battle and helped Hartlepool survive is also a very encouraging sign.
RH: Earned rave reviews at Hartlepool last season and could (should?) be a regular feature for Reading in this coming season.
Prediction: Upper Championship.
Midfielder: Jack Stacey
MM: I'm not quite sure what type of winger Stacey is. Out and out pace he has not, blessed be he with magnificent technique I also doubt. If he can't solve this then it'll be Leagues One and Two for Jack Stacey.
Prediction: League One
RH: Steve Clarke is obviously a fan, but I'm not entirely sure what standout trait it is that Stacey has. That may be a good thing. It may not.
Prediction: Mid-lower Championship.
WO: It's easy to overlook Stacey for the more skilful Fosu, but if he's anything like he was at youth level then he will impress you the more you watch him. He reminds me of Glenn Little except he has pace and can score from distance.
Forward: Craig Tanner
WO: My worry with Tanner is that he may turn out to be another Simon Church: very promising at youth level but struggles at senior level. No goals during his loan spell at AFC Wimbledon looks very similar to the loan spells Church had before 2009. I would like to see him given time to develop especially as he suffered a bad injury just as he had broken into the first team. His chested pass in the U21 final against Man City is proof alone that he is a talent worth persevering with.
W: After a bright start to last season, injury robbed him of a decent run under Nigel Adkins. Showed hints of promise at AFC Wimbledon but his failure to find the net is disappointing. The fact he was given a new long-term deal in January shows the club still have high hopes for him.
RH: This guy has been banging in goals since he was in the womb.
Prediction: Mid Championship.
Forward: Dominic Samuel
MM: If he stays fit then being a League One/ Championship level striker should be within Samuel's reach, if he keeps his head screwed on.
W: There is that nagging question as to why with goals so hard to come by Nigel Adkins still refused to play a striker banging them in for fun in the U21 leagues. That being said, Samuel showed at Coventry how he can score goals at a good level. He needs to avoid the pitfalls players like Leroy Lita fell into if he wants to be a Premier League player.
RH: Oh, how I yearn for Samuel to be given an opportunity at Reading. He made a huge impression last season, and I can see him doing very well for us in the years to come-providing he signs a new deal.
Prediction: Upper Championship
So that's our money where our mouth is but how do you see things? Vote in the poll below and please leave us your thoughts in the comments section below. Likewise if you want to discuss and make a prediction for a player we've not covered, put your rep on the line ;) We'll bring you a recap the poll results next week, in the mean time you can follow the results here.

CJI against Government's encroachment for NJAC Bill
RM Lodha, the Chief Justice of India, has expressed his concerns over all the three organs of the country working independently without the interference of any encroachment from the likes of the government and cautioned the NDA government. The disgruntle is the result of the parliament clearing the National Judicial Appointments Bill, NJAC Bill , according to which the judicial supremacy in the appointing of judges in higher courts will no longer stand.
Justice Lodha who is quite displeased, voiced his concerns on the occasion of the 68th Independence Day at the Supreme Court lawn and said, "the Constitution provides for separation of the judiciary, the executive and the parliament. The constitution makers are ensured that all the vital organs of the State function independently without encroaching on the domains of the other."
He also made clear that the government should be mature enough to recognize that each organ has to work independently without superfluous considerations. "All three vital organs operate in their respective fields and no one encroaches upon others domain. I am sure all of us — people in judiciary, executive and parliament will have respect for each other to achieve the constitutional goal," the CJI announced, reported DNA.
He has already reminded the government that the collegiums system has not failed. He also took the opportunity to explain it to the lawmakers that, "The Constitution accommodates a natural process" of discussion and debate before any change is made to the basic architecture of an important organ of the State.
The National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) Bill 2014 will be doing away with the collegiums system which till now had been used for the appointments of judges in the Supreme Court and high courts. This collegiums system is to be replaced with a commission for the same purpose. As per the propositions, the CJI will be heading a six member NJAC team, which would consist of the law minister, two senior Supreme Court judges and two eminent people. Out of the eminent people to be appointed, one such person will be nominated from among the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, OBCs, minorities or women. The two eminent persons will be appointed by the Prime Minister, the CJI and the leader of the single largest party in the Lok Sabha.
Coming to the rescue of the government's decision; Ravi Shankar Prasad, Law Minister, clarified by adding that, "independence of judiciary will be upheld and I wish to assure you that sanctity of independence of judiciary is a matter of commitment from me and Modi government."

BUFFALO, N.Y., /PRNewswire/ -- Pain after surgery can be effectively managed with minimal or no opioids, according to research conducted at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and published today in JAMA Network Open. The publication presents the findings of a two-year pilot study at Roswell Park in which in 1,231 patients undergoing gynecologic or abdominal surgery were prescribed fewer opioids at discharge.
During its first year alone, the restrictive protocol eliminated the circulation of 16,374 opioid tablets (5 mg oxycodone equivalent), significantly reducing the volume of opioids that could be misused or diverted. Based on the success of the opioid-sparing approach, the new restrictive protocol will go into effect throughout all Roswell Park surgical services beginning Jan. 1, 2019.
Beginning in June 2017, patients undergoing ambulatory or minimally invasive surgery at Roswell Park were not prescribed opioids at the time of hospital discharge unless they required more than five doses of opioids while in the hospital. Patients undergoing major surgery were given only a three-day supply of prescription opioids at discharge, unless they needed more opioids during the last 24 hours of their hospital stay. All patients were prescribed a pain regimen of ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Before undergoing surgery, all patients were educated about the revised protocol and encouraged to contact their clinical team with any questions or concerns.
Before the restrictive protocol was implemented, the average patient received 44 opioid pills after major open surgery, 38 pills after minimally invasive surgery and 14 pills after minor surgery. The new protocol radically decreased this amount to an average of 12 tablets after major surgery, one tablet after minimally invasive surgery and essentially none after minor or ambulatory surgery — an overall reduction in opioids of 89%.
During the first two weeks of the new protocol, not a single patient complained of pain or requested an opioid prescription refill.
"Our study clearly shows that patients can recover from major surgery just as well with over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen and minimal or no opioids, with no increase in pain or postoperative complications — and without the side effects of opioids," says lead author Emese Zsiros, MD, PhD.

Superman Rescues Wonder Woman From Attacker On Hollywood Boulevard
By Lindsay William-Ross
Published Sep 6, 2013 11:00 PM
Wonder Woman and Superman (via Christopher Dennis/Facebook)
The costumed characters of Hollywood Boulevard have a bit of a reputation for getting into scuffles, but when "Wonder Woman" was attacked Friday, it was her fellow superhero, "Superman," who came to her rescue.The duo had been taping a segment in the area for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and were outside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel when they were approached by a female "cowboy boot-wearing transient," according to ABC7.
The suspect allegedly came right up to Jennifer Wenger ("Wonder Woman") and punched the performer in the face. Then it was Christopher Dennis ("Superman") to the rescue. He told ABC7: "I'm then reflecting all of her boot throws. She actually hits Wonder Woman again with a boot. I reflected it and it just kind of ricocheted off my arm and hit her in the face."
Dennis and Wenger, and many of their costumed cohorts, were the focus of a 2007 documentary "Confessions of a Superhero," which takes a look at the lives of the actors who work the Boulevard by getting tipped for taking photos with tourists.
In addition to the physical assault, the transient also reportedly told the costumed characters they "would be dead by tomorrow."
Wenger says she was inspired by the character she portrays along the Boulevard for tourists and fans, and she realized Wonder Woman would not hit the attacker.
Recently,transients were the perpetrators of a fatal stabbing on Hollywood Boulevard, prompting Mayor Eric Garcetti to plead the case for more police to patrol the popular area.
