Miguel RegodònDigital artist, Concept artist.
Born in Cordoba (Spain), I was a fan of every kind of comics, Fantasy novels and films, as well as videogames, roleplaying games and miniatures since I was I child. I always loved to draw and gradually I ended up filling more and more time with this hobby. I studied Fine Arts in the University of Seville and Illustration on Madrid.
I have worked as an illustrator on the board and roleplaying games area as well as cover artist for Fantasy and Sci-Fi Novels since 2009, when I started doing art pieces for "Mongoose Publishing" , "Editorial Mundos Epicos", "Holocubierta Ediciciones" among others… Since 2011 I started working for "Paizo Publishing" where I developed most of my professional carrier doing characters, props and illustrations.
On 2016, I have also worked on the Films Area doing character designs for "Universal Studios" and "Ken Wallace Films" on unrevealed movies.
My work process it´s not very complicated. For professional purposes I always work on digital media, though I like to draw with pencils or ink for fun. About the process itself, I try to keep the process as much natural as possible, avoiding all kind of tricks and digital effects. I start with a line sketch not too much detailed, then I work roughly on the color and, when I´m all happy with result, I work on the details, textures and effects.
To tell the truth, I always was more a roleplaying gamer than a board one. I liked games like Rolemaster, Lord of the Rings, Vampire, Werewolf… For board games I prefer games with a elaborated fantasy setting, and some strategy. I was also a huge fan of miniature games like WarHammer 40K when I was a teenager. Lately, I don´t have much time for them but I like to collect miniatures of the Infinity game that hope I will paint one day.
I like to play videogames from time to time, and some of my favourite titles are the old "Resident Evil" saga, "Metal Gear Solid", "Mass Effect" and "Dead Space" among others.

Longtime administrator named provost at Florida SouthWestern State College
Eileen DeLuca beat out two other finalists for the provost job at Florida SouthWestern State College.
Longtime administrator named provost at Florida SouthWestern State College Eileen DeLuca beat out two other finalists for the provost job at Florida SouthWestern State College. Check out this story on news-press.com: https://www.news-press.com/story/news/education/2019/04/22/longtime-administrator-named-provost-fsw/3539181002/
Thyrie Bland, Fort Myers News-Press Published 6:00 p.m. ET April 22, 2019
A longtime administrator and former professor at Florida SouthWestern State College has been named the school's new provost.
Eileen DeLuca began her career at FSW in 2005 as an adjunct professor. She worked her way up the career ladder, reaching the position of associate vice president in 2015.
DeLuca replaces former Provost Jeffrey Stewart, who stepped down last year. Five women, including four FSW employees and a student, accused Stewart of sexual misconduct, according to a 15-page report the school authored.
DeLuca, who was named FSW's interim provost after Stewart resigned, was among more than 80 candidates to apply for the job. A search committee narrowed the pool of candidates to seven semifinalists and then three finalists.

FSW: Former provost accused of sexual misconduct
DeLuca said she has received many messages of congratulations since a note was sent out late Friday afternoon announcing her selection as provost.
"I am so humbled by the amount of people who have expressed congratulations and just support," DeLuca said. "I think that's one of the great things about working here is that across all offices we really support each other."
The provost is FSW's chief academic officer. FSW has more than 22,000 students and campuses in Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties.
DeLuca beat out Donald Painter, dean of academic success at Polk State College in Winter Haven, and Scott Behrens, vice president for teaching and learning at Northwest Florida State College in Niceville, for the job. Her salary as provost is $195,000.
"I have got full faith and confidence in the process that we undertook as well as the president's judgment and the committee's judgment that made the decision," said Braxton Rhone, chairman of the FSW Board of Trustees. "I think that she has done an excellent job in the past. I am looking forward to her continuing to do a good job."
FSW President Jeff Allbritten was unavailable Monday for comment, a spokesman said.
FSW: Ex-provost files lawsuit against woman who accused of him of sexual misconduct
DeLuca has had a long career in education that includes experience in the K-12 system.
She earned a bachelor's degree in English education in 1994 at the University of South Florida. She received a master's degree in education at The College of New Rochelle in New York in 1998 and a doctorate in curriculum and instruction from the University of Florida in 2004.
DeLuca said when she started her career, she wanted to be a high school English teacher. Her career began in the 1990s in the K-12 system, teaching in New York and Lee County. She is a former teacher at Fort Myers High School.
DeLuca said she later began thinking about making a career change. She said she wanted to work at a school of education and help train students who want to be teachers. Her first job doing that was at FSW.
Deborah Teed, who led the search committee, said DeLuca's experience at FSW is one of the things that separated her from the other candidates for the job.
"I, honestly, think we have a wonderful provost ..., and I think we are all happy about it," said Teed, who is dean of FSW's School of Arts, Humanities and Social Science.
DeLuca said she thinks her selection as FSW provost brings some stability to the office for a few reasons. She noted that she is not an outsider, so she won't have to spend time learning about FSW. DeLuca also said she isn't looking to make immediate changes or take the college in a new direction that might cause some disruption.
DeLuca said her most immediate plans as provost are to continue and expand some of the programs at FSW that are doing well, such as its honors scholars and study abroad program
"I know the direction we have been headed, but I also know just as any institution we can continue to innovate and improve," she said.

A notable lack in speculative fiction, and one that cuts across the divide between Christian and secular, is that of genuine, fully-realized religion. There may be religious belief and religious feeling; in Christian speculative fiction, there usually is. There may be scraps of religion – vague expressions of faith, a benevolent priest, a fanatic, a cross or a stray invocation of the gods. But genuine religion – religion that possesses a structure, doctrines, holidays, customs, stories and rules, and all the physical artifacts from temples to jewelry? That is rare.
This lack is hardly crippling. Great speculative fiction may exist without practical religion and even be deeply spiritual. Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia exhibit little of religion as it is practiced in actual life and possess spiritual depths rarely matched. Complete religion isn't necessary. But its scarcity in our novels is a loss.
You may ask, Why Snoopy? And I answer: The other images Google gave me were too ugly.
To gain an idea of the loss, let us consider Halloween, because 'tis the season. There are surely people in this great nation whose favorite holiday is Halloween, and I frankly worry about these people. At best, it's a half-holiday. There is a version of Halloween for children, and a version for adults, but no version for everyone. As a popular holiday, it makes no pretense of religion or meaning; it has no songs and most Halloween stories could be told without Halloween and probably would be.
And out of even this poor half-holiday you could dig a tale that teaches us who we are. The origin of Halloween is taken to be Samhain, the Celtic holiday that marked the journey of the dead into the otherworld. Ghosts were near on Samhain, too near for anyone's comfort. The inhuman, both demons and fairies, were also believed to be abroad with power, perhaps because the journey from this world to the next suggested a general weakening of boundaries. A spiritual anarchy hangs about the whole day, and to the extent that there was real belief there must have been real fear.
The Catholic Church later established All Saints Day and All Souls Day, days that commemorate the dead without fear of the dead, or horror of death. It's long been said – very plausibly, though I admit I don't know on what evidence – that the Catholic Church did this to replace Samhain. And Samhain did fade away, leaving only vestiges of customs and superstition where powerful belief once ruled. Yet All Saints Day and All Souls Day never replaced it. These are just days on the church calendar, occasionally observed but never celebrated.
Much can be gleaned from the history of Halloween – the revolution of a civilization changing from one religion to another, humanity's elemental horror of the dead who do not stay properly dead, the dread of the inhuman, the evolution and mixing of beliefs and practices. It is strange that, although many people believe the saints are happy in heaven and few think ghosts travel on Halloween, Halloween has so much greater a presence than All Saints Day. An empty holiday with concrete practices has more power than a holy day with abstract joy, and we see how instinctively humanity demands, and perhaps even needs, physical expression of spiritual things.
What can be illustrated through a holiday – from the history of a civilization to religious beliefs to fundamental human nature – is extraordinary. Holidays, and all the expressions of a whole and genuine religion, offer a wide and rich opportunity to speculative fiction authors. I don't demand that they take it, but – well, would you consider it?

Where does nuclear power belong in our concerns over sustainability?
Rod Janssen climate change, energy transition, European energy policies, nuclear energy, taxonomy April 10, 2021
Lobbying by pro-nuclear stakeholders and a new report that concludes "the fuel qualifies as sustainable" under green investments has led to Greenpeace Europe warning the European Commission against reinstating nuclear power on the list of activities deemed sustainable by the European Union. Kevin O'Sullivan discusses latest developments in an article on the Irish Times website.
Greenpeace warns European Commission on nuclear energy classification
Greenpeace Europe has warned the European Commission against reinstating nuclear power on the list of activities deemed sustainable by the European Union.
The call was made after the commission's scientific expert group, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), was reported to have concluded "the fuel qualifies as sustainable" under green investments – notably in the context of making Europe net-zero in terms of its greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Greenpeace EU policy adviser Silvia Pastorelli said: "It's become more and more clear that the nuclear industry cannot stand on its feet without massive funding and that is why they're desperate for EU support, as nuclear power is too expensive and new projects are evaporating."
In its report, the JRC "is dangerously optimistic about the renovation of operating nuclear power plants. Independent scientists have already told the EU that the unsustainable environmental hazard of nuclear waste is enough reason to drop the technology", she said.
"Rather than let a dying industry swallow up vital funding, the European Commission should back real climate action, excluding all fake green 'solutions' like nuclear, gas and biomass," Ms Pastorelli suggested.
In March 2020, the Technical Expert Group on Sustainable Finance established by the commission recommended excluding nuclear power from "the green taxonomy"; a European classification of low-carbon and transitional economic activities designed to guide investment.
Greenpeace noted, however, that after intense lobbying by pro-nuclear stakeholders, the commission asked the JRC to assess "the absence of significant environmental harm of nuclear power", which it claimed is paving the way to the sector's reinstatement on the list of activities deemed sustainable by the EU.
According to the environmental NGO, however, the JRC's structural links with the Euratom treaty, its relations with the nuclear industry and the views expressed publicly by its members on nuclear energy "call into question the JRC's ability to conduct an objective assessment of the sustainability of nuclear energy".
The commission should have entrusted this study to an impartial structure and included civil society, it insisted. Two expert committees will scrutinise the JRC's findings – which were leaked to Reuters – for three months before the commission takes a final decision.
Harm assessment
Achieving climate-neutrality requires compensating by 2050 not only any remaining CO2 but also any other GHG emissions, as set out in its "A Clean Planet for All" strategy, and confirmed by the European green deal.
To facilitate this, establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment that provides appropriate definitions to companies and investors on which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable is required.
Given its extensive technical expertise on nuclear energy and technology, the JRC was asked to conduct this analysis and to draft a technical assessment report on the "do no significant harm" aspects of nuclear energy including long-term management of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel.
Dr Sama Bilbao y Leon, director general of World Nuclear Association which represents the global nuclear industry said: "The JRC report is clear in its conclusions. There are no scientific arguments supporting an exclusion of nuclear energy from the Sustainable Finance Taxonomy."
"The JRC report should be reviewed with due urgency by the two remaining expert groups. In the meanwhile, we call on the commission not to delay in setting out the process and the timeline for the inclusion of nuclear energy within the taxonomy, to safeguard the transparency of the process," she added.
"We are facing the dual challenge of economic recovery following the pandemic, and climate change. Enough time has been spent procrastinating. Nuclear energy, the single-largest low-carbon electricity source in the EU, has already played a major role in terms providing reliable cost-effective 24/7 sustainable electricity for the last 40+ years, and it will be crucial in building a sustainable tomorrow," Dr Bilbao y Leon said.
Radioactive waste disposal
In its 2018 landmark report, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change model pathways indicated nuclear power will need to make a major contribution to keeping the average global temperature increase (relative to pre-industrial times) under the key threshold of 1.5 degrees. In 2019, an International Energy Agency report outlined how the transition to net-zero emissions by 2050 will be more difficult and expensive without nuclear energy.
Brussels' expert advisers last year were split over whether nuclear power deserved a green label, recognising that while it produces very low planet-warming emissions, more analysis was needed on the environmental impact of radioactive waste disposal.
The draft of the JRC report seen by Reuters said nuclear deserves a green label. "The analyses did not reveal any science-based evidence that nuclear energy does more harm to human health or to the environment than other electricity production technologies," it said.
Storage of nuclear waste in deep geologic formations is deemed "appropriate and safe", it found, citing countries including France and Finland in advanced stages of developing such sites.
EU countries are split over nuclear. France, Hungary and five other countries last month urged the commission to support nuclear in policies including the taxonomy. Other states including Austria, and some environmental groups, oppose the fuel, pointing to its hazardous waste and the delays and spiralling costs of recent projects.
"The nuclear industry is desperate for funds as nuclear power is too expensive and new projects are evaporating," the Greenpeace adviser Silvia Pastorelli underlined.
EU countries are also split over how the taxonomy should treat investments in natural gas. After a plan to exclude gas faced pushback from pro-gas countries, the commission last month drafted plans to label some gas as sustainable – splintering countries between those who support the fuel as an alternative to more polluting coal, and those who say new gas plants risk locking in emissions for decades, thwarting climate goals.

So would all the complacent JRC team be perfectly content to live with their families adjacent to the current storage arrangements? I thought not.

Primrose Farm Saved!
Primrose Farm. Photo by Ari Kaufman, July 2011
After five years of intense negotiation and advocacy, the 113-acre Primrose Farm in Harding Township has been preserved as open space. Ownership of the land was officially transferred to the Harding Land Trust on December 27, 2012. The Great Swamp Watershed Association (GSWA) and other Primrose project partners were on hand for the final closing.
In 2008, GSWA was the first community stakeholder to recognize the intrinsic natural value of Primrose Farm. Upon learning that the entire property was slated to become a large residential subdivision, GSWA Executive Director Sally Rubin quickly approached The Trust for Public Land and recommended Harding Land Trust as the ultimate land owner.
The new conservation acquisition will spare Primrose Farm from the bulldozer and work to maintain the ecological balance of the wetlands, forest, meadows, and steep slopes it encompasses. This is good news for native plants and wildlife like the endangered Indiana bat, which relies on Primrose's mix of woods and fields to provide summertime roosting and feeding grounds. It's also good news for all those who believe that clean water is an essential community resource. Open spaces like Primrose Farm play a critical role in filtering and retaining the water that falls to Earth during storms. Our communities rely on them for everything from maintaining clean drinking water supplies, to mitigating floods and droughts.
GSWA contributed $200,000 toward the purchase of Primrose Farm through a grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Green Acres Program. The organization will fulfill its responsibilities as a co-owner by identifying and organizing environmental stewardship activities on the property, and by using the entire site as teaching tool for its many environmental education programs.
Primrose Farm is now free and open for public use. The Township of Harding has retained 16 acres of preserved land adjacent to Barrett Field for future expansion of that park. Over time, the remaining 97 acres will be made available for hiking, cross-country skiing, bird watching, horseback riding, and other passive recreational activities.
Read the press release issued by The Trust for Public Land. [release no longer available]
Congratulation to GSWA's members and the people of Harding for wholeheartedly supporting the conservation of Primrose Farm!

Mark Ursa vs Presskit : "Anubis" Touches All The Bases of EDM!
June 8, 2014 June 8, 2014 staff
Mark Ursa aka Marc Vandersmissen, was born in Belgium. Mark soon caught the house virus and in the early 2000's he started to release tracks under the names "Pornstar Deluxe", "Mark Ursa" and "Art D'echo", and moved to Ibiza where he started his career of DJ.
His first recorded success was the single "Welcome to Ibiza", exclusively distributed on the Balearic Island which was played by all during that summer. It was also the first time a Belgium DJ secured a resident party in Ibiza. Since 2006, Mark Ursa shares his time between Brazil and Ibiza. He plays in all the super clubs and festivals around the world including a residency at Mark's Attack parties at Privilege and Space Ibiza, and on the "Bloco Yes" at the Brazilian carnival where he plays in front of 3 million people.
In 2013, after 6 years without producing music, Mark went back into studio and remixed Bob Sinclair's "Summer Moonlight" and Yves Larock's "Zookey", going to #1 on the charts with both remixes. Now, world renowned Belgian DJ & Producer Mark Ursa, teams up with Brazilian duo PRESSKIT, to serve up the groovy dance-floor anthem "Anubis".
"Anubis" is easily one my favorite electro-house releases this year. It's one of the few dance singles that holds up as a fresh work of art. There's enough variety to hold your attention and the production is warm and sparkly. Mark Ursa, along with Brazilian duo PRESSKIT shows off a knack for stripping out the big loose sounds and just letting house music, be house music! This is good for a party, good for exercising, good for relaxing, good for commutes and is highly recommended for anyone who finds themselves unconsciously tapping their feet to music.
"Anubis" is music for all EDM fans, regardless; house, trance and anyone wanting to hear dance music perfectly produced, as well as listen to something current and relevant. If you like to dance, you should already own this this single, but if you don't, download it now. It's that good. This is house music done exceedingly well.
Mark Ursa and Brazilian duo PRESSKIT, along with their musical influences also have a good ear for melody. Their rhythms are clean and irresistible – they make you want to move, while the melody is fresh and inviting. Moreover their breakdowns and build-ups transport the tune on an energetic and uplifting roller-coaster, really!
Put "Anubis" on, close your eyes and you're there, on the dance floor, right now. Mark Ursa and Brazilian duo PRESSKIT touch all the bases. Their musical knowledge of the genre is deep and impressive. They know what works and nearly everything on "Anubis" works beautifully. If you don't believe me get it and listen. You won't be disappointed.

Serengeti National Park is a Tanzanian national park famous for its annual migration of over 1.5 million white-bearded (or brindled) wildebeest and 250,000 zebra and for its numerous Nile crocodile and honey badger.
The Maasai people had been grazing their livestock in the open plains of eastern Mara Region, which they named "endless plains," for around 200 years when the first European explorer, Austrian Oscar Baumann, visited the area in 1892. The name "Serengeti" is an approximation of the word used by the Maasai to describe the area, siringet, which means "the place where the land runs on forever".
Other carnivores include the 225 cheetah, an abundance of gazelle, about 3,500 spotted hyena, two species of jackals, African golden wolf, honey badger, striped hyena, serval, seven species of mongooses, two species of otters and the East African wild dog of 300 individuals. Primates such as yellow and olive baboons and vervet monkey and black-and-white colobus are also seen in the forests of the Grumeti River.
Other mammals include aardvark, aardwolf, bat-eared fox, ground pangolin, crested porcupine, three species of hyraxes and cape hare.
Serengeti National Park has also great ornithological interest, boasting about more than 500 bird species.
The park is usually described as divided into three regions
Southern Serengeti The almost treeless plains grassland is where the wildebeest breed remain December to May. Other hoofed animals such as zebra, gazelle, impala, hartebeest, topi, buffalo, waterbuck may also be found in huge numbers during the wet season. "Kopjes" are granite florations that are very common in the region..
Western Serengeti Black clay soil covers the savannah of this region. The Grumeti River and its gallery forests is home to Nile crocodiles, patas monkeys, hippopotamus, and martial eagles. The migration passes through from May to July.
Northern Serengeti The landscape is dominated by open woodlands and hills, ranging from Seronera in the south to the Mara River on the Kenyan border. Apart from the migratory wildebeest and zebra (which occur from July to August, and in November), this is the best place to find elephant, giraffe, and dik dik.
Perhaps the most popular animals among travelers are the Big Five, which include:
Lion The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem.
African Leopard These reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park with the population at around 1,000.
African Bush Elephant The herds have recovered successfully from population lows in the 1980s caused by poaching, numbering over 5,000 individuals, and are particularly numerous in the northern region of the park.
Eastern Black Rhinoceros Mainly found around the kopjes in the centre of the park, very few individuals remain due to rampant poaching. Individuals from the Masai Mara Reserve cross the park border and enter Serengeti from the northern section at times. There's currently a small but stable population of 31 individuals left in the park.
African Buffalo The most numerous of the Big Five, with around 53,000 individuals inside the park.

Blog: An ignorant take on...
After last week's TWOG on an "efficient orchestra", this week's takes a good look at the popular metaphor—really the deceptive myth—of the heroic leader as orchestra conductor: the managerial maestro on the podium.
A flick of the baton and marketing begins; a wave of the wand and production chimes in; a grand sweep of the arms and HR, PR, and IT join with perfect harmony. It's a manager's dream—all those obedient players. There are even conductors doing workshops for managers who believe they are leaders, and grander still, these people pretending to conduct real orchestras—with equivalent justification.
To sober us all up, here are three quotes about this metaphor that I found in books. As you read them, we shall play a little game. Please vote for which best explain your understanding of managing. But there's a trick: you must vote when you first read each, even if that is before you have read the others. But there's a compensating trick: you can vote up to three times!
From Peter Drucker, the guru's guru: One analogy [for the manager] is the conductor of a symphony orchestra, through whose effort, vision and leadership, individual instrumental parts that are so much noise by themselves, become the living whole of music. But the conductor has the composer's score: he is only interpreter. The manager is both composer and conductor. (from The Practice of Management, 1954) Your vote for composer and conductor?
From Sune Carlson, a Swedish economist who carried out the first serious study of managerial work—managing directors of Swedish companies—in the 1940s: Before we made the study, I always thought of a chief executive as the conductor of an orchestra, standing aloof on his platform. Now I am in some respects inclined to see him as the puppet in the puppet-show with hundreds of people pulling the strings and forcing him to act in one way or another. (from Executive Behavior, 1951) Your vote for puppet?
From Len Sayles, who published an early study of middle managers in the United States: The manager is like a symphony orchestra conductor, endeavoring to maintain a melodious performance … while the orchestra members are having various personal difficulties, stage hands are moving music stands, alternating excessive heat and cold are creating audience and instrumental problems, and the sponsor of the concert is insisting on irrational changes in the program. (from Managerial Behavior, 1964)1 Your vote for disruption?
Which did you choose? I use this game when I do workshops with managers (they let me do them, even though I am not an orchestra conductor). The results are almost always the same. There are a few votes for the first (because people are suspicious about what's coming next), and a few more for the second. But when I read the third, all the hands go up! Managers are like orchestra conductors all right, but away from pretentious performing. Myths abound in management; that's what many of these TWOGs are about. Beware of metaphors that glorify.
And the same can be said about orchestra conductors. Are they managers, even leaders? Outside of performance, certainly both, together. (As discussed in an earlier TWOG, good managers lead and good leaders manage.) They select the musicians, and the music, and during rehearsals synchronize them all into a coherent whole.2 But watch a conductor in performance: it is mostly just that—performance. Sure there is all that flailing of the arms, just like in the picture above. (Better still, have a good look at "orchestra conductors" on Google Images, a bit of which is reproduced below. What a cacophony!). Have a glance at the musicians during performance: they barely look at the conductor—who, by the way, may well be a guest conductor. Can you imagine a guest manager anywhere else?
Bear in mind who is pulling the strings: Beethoven, a lot more than any Toscanini. Each musician is playing to the notes written for his or her instrument by the composer. So let's revisit Drucker's comment: it is the composer who is both composer and conductor!
Sure the conductor has a role to play in performance, just like the bassoonists. Somebody has to start the music and set the pace. But don't tell me that all that arm waving is not significantly show—albeit part of the entertainment. Shakespeare had it right: "All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players…" That includes managers as well as conductors, not to mention "leaders".
The concertgoers, there because they love inspiring music, need to express their delight somehow. Much of this really belongs to Beethoven, but he's dead. And how to thank so many musicians? So the Toscanini's get most of the attention—as the symbol of everyone's effort—with a bit left over for a bassoonist or two (with the conductor's permission), not to mention the soloist. Do the conductors really deserve all that veneration? Of course orchestras play better with some conductors than others. But the same can be said of each musician on the stage. Tell me: when you hear a really great symphony on the radio, do you give the conductor a standing ovation?
By this point, if you know anything about orchestras, you are probably outraged. Who is this ignoramus? I have had running debates for years with people who know better, including a member of the family who is a prominent music critic. In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I don't know how to play any musical instrument, nor have I ever conducted an orchestra (although I love listening to Tchaikovsky). Yet, as noted above, I do conduct workshops for managers; I even compose these TWOGs. So I too am both composer and conductor.
Look, all of the above is not true. As I shall discuss next week ("The truth about Truth"), nothing is true. Or at least there are no whole truths, at best only half-truths. So it is true that conductors make a difference, just as it is true that their gyrations are so often overblown.3 And it is true that managing is like orchestra conducting, at least when things are going wrong. But truer still is that neither managers nor conductors belong on the podium of heroic leadership.
1 Notice that all three quotes are over a half-century old. Did any seem out-of-date? Here is another myth shot to hell: that every thought about management has to be current—terribly up-to-date. In subject matter, to be sure: about what is being managed. But not in process: about how it is being done. As I discuss in my book Simply Managing, because management is largely a practice, not a science or a profession, its essence hardly changes. Just like orchestra conducting.
2 See my article "Covert Leadership" where I describe observing a conductor in rehearsal for a day. I also observed a guest conductor—a famous violinist—during rehearsal one morning at the Tanglewood Music Festival, and mostly he was playing his instrument, with the occasional flick of his bow in the general direction of the musicians.
3 The Internet is loaded with videos about conductors as leaders. Go to the one with Itay Talgam. It really does capture both sides. Notice especially the moment when Leonard Bernstein raises an eyebrow, definitive proof that there is substance in performance!

Back from Brazil, why not a TWOG about futebol (as they call it there, and me here, to distinguish it from American football, which is barely about feet, and is, after all, Canadian)? I know almost nothing about futebol, but why should that stop me? So here I introduce a new category of TWOG, called "An ignorant take on…" (which you may feel is not new at all). Let's start with ignorance itself (about which I do know quite a bit), then a few thoughts about futebol, next about the names of sports teams, and finally about the ownership of such teams.
First: An ignorant take on ignorance Why should the experts be the only ones to comment on things, especially when they so often get it wrong? Ignorance may not always be bliss, as the saying goes, but it can be beneficial.
Someone once defined an expert as a person with no elementary knowledge. But elementary knowledge can sometimes help to see things differently—like the little boy in the Hans Christian Andersen story who saw that the emperor was wearing no clothes. Well, sports often wear too much conventional clothing, restricting those who know them well from seeing what might be changed. Ignoramuses like me can see the elementary things, and thus can be hit on the head by something besides a ball─an idea, for example.
Now: An ignorant take on futebol I want to suggest one idea in particular that might help to make "the beautiful game" more beautiful. This is a team sport, right—I know that much—10 on 10, with one more player in each goal. So why end a tie game with 1 on 1, especially when 1 of the one is so much more likely to score than the other 1 is to stop it.
Corner kicks are exciting, so why not alternate corner kicks instead? The odds of scoring can be changed by trying different numbers of players—for example 8 on 6. (In hockey now, we end a tie game with 3 on 3 in the overtime, instead of 5 on 5. It's fascinating how much this changes the dynamics of the game.)
And how about entering the 21st century and looking at replays to distinguish whether a player was tripped or took a dive. Such calls often prove to be too important to leave to the peripheral vision of a referee. Indeed, this would give the fans at home time to go to the bathroom, and would give beer companies' time to send them there.
And something must be done about the scoring. Between the 0-0 of futebol and the 141-121 of basketball is, for example, the 4-2 of hockey. One goal every 10 minutes, instead of one every 10 seconds, or one every 10 days.
Next: An ignorant take on the name of teams Why is it that sports teams have such boring names while rock groups have such interesting ones? European futebol has its Chelsea Blues, Liverpool Reds, and Real Madrid Whites. U.S. football has its Panthers, Broncos, Bears, Bengals, Lions, Rams, and Colts, etc. Just a bunch of animals. Baseball is for the birds: Cardinals, Blue Jays, Orioles.
Hockey in Canada is no better. Montreal has its Canadians, Vancouver its Canucks, Toronto its Maple Leafs. (Ever seen a blue maple leaf off the ice?) You know why Edmonton has the Oilers? Because they drill for oil out there. Oilers on the ice? No wonder they do so badly.
Here is my idea. Sports teams should take their inspiration from rock groups. Manchester City, cross-town rivals of Manchester United, could be called the U-2s, or U-toos. A curling club could be called the Saskatchewan Sliding Stones. How about the Boston Beatles in foofball? Or the New York Rush? Just give us a chance in Montreal to call our hockey archrivals, who have been doing even worse than us, the Toronto Grateful Dead.
Finally: An Ignorant Take on the Ownership of Teams What to do if you've got tons of inherited money, a yearning for fame, and not a single idea in your head? That's easy. You overpay for a famous sports team. You know nothing about management, so you hire a famous coach, whom you mistrust, and together you spend obscenely on players, to try and buy your way to a championship. (Your team should be called The Mercenaries.) And as soon as your Mercenaries start losing, you fire your famous coach. (Just two or three times. After that you lose interest in the whole thing, and let the team die.) On the rare occasion when the strategy does work, you kill the sport instead.
It's interesting how many legendary teams have been community-owned: by the fans. This remains true of Real Madrid and of Barcelona, the latter probably the greatest futebol team in the world today. (It used to be true of Manchester United too, when it was the greatest.) The most legendary team in football, the Green Bay Packers, is the only one in the NFL owned by its fans (and named for something real, since Green Bay is a center of the meat packing industry; when you think about it, this is a perfect name for a football team!). And then there's the greatest sporting legend of all, with a terrific name—from little New Zealand comes the great big All Blacks. (The name is all in the All.) Who owns them? Nobody.
OK, enough of my ignorance—for this week at least. But beware of the ignorance of other people. For this I offer you two final words: Donald Trump.

Lecture Titles
Your professor
We like to believe that the founding principle of the United States is liberty. "Give me liberty, or give me death!" Patrick Henry famously said in 1775 to encourage the Virginia colonists to fight for their freedom. It was liberty for which he was willing to sacrifice his life. And it was to gain that liberty that the colonists eventually fought and won the Revolutionary War. So, you would think that when the United States of America was formed, our citizenry could finally enjoy a plethora of hard-won liberties.
But that was not the case. While the new Americans no longer suffered from taxation without representation, many of the liberties we enjoy today were not part of their lives. In Liberty on Trial in America: Cases That Defined Freedom, you will learn how liberty increased in our country when individuals sued for those freedoms, when cases were brought specifically to test the limits of the Constitution with its Amendments, and even when a jury in a local case returned an unexpected verdict that helped change the thinking of the times.
In 24 fascinating lectures, Professor Douglas O. Linder of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law takes you behinds the scenes of the trials that brought us many of the freedoms we enjoy today. You'll learn what happened when Anne Hutchinson dared to speak her religious ideas in the Massachusetts Bay Colony of the 1600s; when Susan B. Anthony decided to vote in a national election; when John Peter Zenger challenged colonial authorities in his newspaper; when labor activists promoted radical ideas in the 1880s in Chicago; when Jehovah's Witnesses decided their children should not be forced to salute the American flag in school, and brought 22 other civil liberties cases to the courts, and more.
A Behind-the-Scenes Look
You'll develop an in-depth understanding of the participants in more than 24 fascinating trials and learn what actions and thoughts led them to court, as well as hear from the prosecuting and defending attorneys in cases that addressed the freedom to:
Teach evolution. In 1925, John Scopes was a young science teacher who agreed to serve as a test case for the Tennessee Butler Act, the law that made it illegal to teach anything that denied the Biblical account of human origins. While Scopes was convicted of teaching evolution, the trial brought the issue into American homes. The Butler Act was repealed, but not until 1967.
Marry the person you love, no matter their skin color. When Richard Loving married Mildred Jeter in 1958, they were thrilled, but the commonwealth of Virginia was not; Richard was white, and the state identified Mildred as "colored," which made it illegal for them to marry. They eventually took their case to the Supreme Court and won in 1967.
Defend your home and family, regardless of race. In 1925, African American doctor Ossie Sweet bought a home for his family in a white neighborhood of Detroit. When a white man was killed during a riot outside his house, police charged everyone in the Sweet home with premeditated murder. With Clarence Darrow as his lawyer, the Sweets won the same right to defend their property that their white neighbors already enjoyed.
Many famous figures in American history play prominent roles in these trials, whether as plaintiff, defendant, or attorney. You're familiar with their names, but in this course, you'll learn their fascinating backstories, including:
John Brown, the abolitionist who armed slaves and encouraged an uprising in 1859 at Harper's Ferry;
Susan B. Anthony, the women's suffrage advocate who was arrested in 1872 for the act of voting;
Clarence Darrow, the attorney who, in the 1920s, defended the right of science teacher John Scopes to teach evolution in public school, and—with a seven-hour summation—defended the right of African American Henry Sweet to defend himself against a white mob;
William Jennings Bryan, three-time presidential candidate, U.S. Secretary of State, and the attorney who prosecuted John Scopes for teaching evolution in public school, but withered under examination by Clarence Darrow;
Norma McCorvey ("Roe"), the woman who filed suit against Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade in 1970, challenging a Texas law that prohibited her from having an abortion; and
Jack Kevorkian, the doctor who advocated for a patient's right to die by physician-assisted suicide, participated in euthanasia, and was convicted of murder in 1999.
When Liberty Lost
U.S. history has not always moved in a straight line from less freedom to more freedom. In Liberty on Trial in America: Cases That Defined Freedom, you'll learn not only about cases in which liberty claims were vindicated, but also those in which they were denied. Sometimes those cases that upheld the status quo seem most clearly unjust by today's standards, and, occasionally, even by the standards of the times. Slavery, for example, sometimes received protection by judges who nonetheless found it despicable. It was the Civil War and the Fourteenth Amendment, not the courts, that finally granted liberties to enslaved persons. You'll learn about cases that:
Did not allow a slave to testify that she killed her master in self-defense after he had repeatedly raped her over a period of years. At trial, evidence was presented that the fatal blow that particular night came only after Celia (no last name) was physically threatened, but the judge instructed the jury to ignore that evidence. Celia was convicted and executed.
Upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine, keeping Jim Crow laws on the books for decades. Homer Plessy was a Caucasian-looking man in Louisiana who took a seat in a train's "white" section, announced he was 1/8 African American, and refused to move. The case eventually reached the Supreme Court, which upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities.
Upheld the constitutionality of the Japanese American relocation camps on the basis of national security. Two months after Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt signed an executive order requiring all Japanese Americans to move into the camps. Fred Korematsu refused, was arrested, convicted, and took his case to the Supreme Court. The Court majority found that the executive order was justified by national security concerns.
No courts are infallible. As you'll learn in Liberty on Trial in America: Cases That Defined Freedom, the Supreme Court has come back to revisit these and many other decisions. Sometimes new information is available, or the social framework of society has drastically changed, and sometimes the original decisions were just wrong. For example, in 2018, Chief Justice John Roberts took an opportunity to comment on Korematsu: "Korematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided, has been overruled in the court of history, and—to be clear—has no place in law under the Constitution."
As you learn about the intriguing cases presented in the 24 lectures of this course, you'll understand and appreciate your own liberties in a new way. After all, every freedom we have has been won through someone's passion and willingness to fight for what they believe is right. And just as liberty has been continuously redefined throughout American history—it will continue to be redefined in the future.

The Trial of Anne Hutchinson
There was no toleration of religious dissent in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1600s; you either accepted Puritan orthodoxy, or you could leave. And there certainly was no room for religious argument for a woman! When Anne Hutchinson shared with others her religious ideas and gathered a following, the governor put her on trial for heresy. Explore the trials, defense, and punishment of the woman sometimes called "America's first feminist." x
The Trial of John Peter Zenger
Freedom of speech was not a recognized liberty in the early years of American colonies. Speech critical of the powers that be could land one in legal trouble—even if everyone involved agreed the statements were true. Explore the colonial history of the press freedom, voter suppression, and attempts to influence juries as they all came together to affect the libel trial of John Peter Zenger. Did this landmark freedom of the press case actually set any precedent? x
Two Slave Trials
The citizens of the newly formed United States could not agree on the overall moral issue of slavery, but they were willing to take up its more narrow legal issues. Gain a greater understanding of the many ways in which the legal system supported the institution of slavery by examining the trials of two slaves: Anthony Burns, whose freedom was eventually purchased by abolitionists, and Celia (no last name), who was hanged. x
The Trial of John Brown
John Brown was an abolitionist who believed he could end slavery by arming the slaves. His plan, however, came to a tragic end at Harper's Ferry, VA, when guards were killed as he seized the federal armory and only a few slaves joined his revolt. Instead, Brown was charged with treason, murder, and slave insurrection. Learn how John Brown's trial and execution nevertheless played a significant role in the eventual end of slavery in the United States. x
The Trial of Susan B. Anthony
Susan B. Anthony believed she was a citizen of the United States according to the Fourteenth Amendment—and, as such, she believed she had the right to vote. But in 1872, the law was not on her side. So when she dropped her ballot into the box at the West End New Depot in Rochester, NY, on Election Day, she was arrested. Learn about the trial that brought nationwide attention to the issue of women's suffrage. x
The Trial of the Haymarket Eight
Labor tensions were already at the boiling point in Chicago, when someone threw a bomb into a group of police officers. Although the bomb thrower was never found, eight defendants were tried by a jury handpicked by the bailiff, and seven were found guilty and sentenced to death—for the crime, it was claimed, of inciting violence. Explore the ways in which this trial became a key event in the history of free speech in America. x
The Trial of John T. Scopes
In 1925, Tennessee enacted a law making the teaching of evolution in any state-supported school a crime. John Scopes was a young science teacher at the time who agreed to serve as a test case for the law, defended by Clarence Darrow. Explore the heated opinions expressed on both sides and how the trial's publicity brought the issue directly into American homes. x
The Sweet Trials, Race, and Self-Defense
In 1925, Dr. Ossian Sweet, an African American, bought a home for his family in a white neighborhood of Detroit. When a white crowd gathered around the house and violence broke out, one member of the crowd was killed. Police charged everyone in the Sweet home with premeditated murder. Explore Clarence Darrow's defense, and what the trial revealed about American society at that time. x
Jehovah's Witnesses and Flag-Salute Cases
Between 1938 and 1946, the Supreme Court handed down 23 opinions involving civil liberties issues raised by Jehovah's Witnesses. Explore two of those cases, both of which address whether or not Jehovah's Witnesses can be forced to salute the flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. Learn why the Court came down first on one side of the issue, and then the other. x
In 1942, two months after Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt signed an executive order requiring that all Japanese Americans move to "relocation camps" as a matter of national security. Fred Korematsu refused, was arrested for violating an "exclusion order," and convicted. Learn how Korematsu carried his fight against what he thought was an "un-American" law all the way to the Supreme Court, and why the decision ultimately went against him. How did history and subsequent Courts treat this decision? x
Segregation on Trial
In 1892, the Supreme Court, in a case involving the conviction of Homer Plessy for sitting in a section of a Louisiana train designated for "whites only," established the principle of "separate but equal." Learn about Charles H. Houston, the African American lawyer who made it his life's work to challenge Jim Crow laws and who won a critical Supreme Court victory in the case of Gaines v. Missouri, paving the way for the Court's landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Houston's work for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to end segregation led his successor, Thurgood Marshall, to say he was just carrying Houston's bags—and that Houston was the Moses who charted the legal path to racial equality. x
The Lenny Bruce Trials
Today, Lenny Bruce is considered a trailblazer of American stand-up comedy addressing the now-common themes of politics, sex, and religion. But in the 1950s and '60s, he was considered an obscene subversive, and arrested numerous times. Explore the ways in which Bruce and the First Amendment affected each other. Today's authors, publishers, poets, and comedians owe a debt of gratitude to Bruce. x
The Evolving Right to Marry
Richard Loving wanted to do nothing more than to marry the woman of his dreams. But Richard was white, and Mildred, according to the commonwealth of Virginia, was "colored," which made it illegal for them to marry. Learn how the case of this modest, unassuming couple went all the way to the Supreme Court, and how the Court's ruling eventually led to marriage equality for same-sex couples, as well. x
Wisconsin v. Yoder
In the 1960s, the Amish had several disagreements with the state concerning their children's education. But most important, they did not believe their children should be required to attend school past the age of 16. Explore the conflicting views and goals of these parents, schools, and state. Learn how the issue made it to the Supreme Court, which conflicting liberties were considered, and why the Court decided in favor of the parents. x
Public support for the death penalty in the United States has historically ebbed and flowed. In 1972, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that capital punishment as then administered was unconstitutional, many legal experts—including some justices—believed that would end the death penalty. Learn why that was not the case, and explore the deep complexities of the law as it relates to capital punishment. x
The Trial of Daniel Ellsberg
Is it legal for an individual to copy top-secret documents and release them to the press? Is it legal for agents of the government to break into a psychiatrist's office to look for information about a criminal defendant? Can the government legally stop a newspaper from publishing classified material? Explore how these questions—and their answers from the courts—affected the country's political life during the Nixon administration, and ultimately led to the president's resignation. x
The Road to Roe v. Wade
Norma McCorvey knew two things: She was pregnant and she did not want the baby. Desperate for an abortion, she agreed (under the name "Jane Roe") to take the case to court, and ultimately the Supreme Court. As you learn about the famous decision that resulted, you'll also gain a better understanding of the many other ways in which American courts have intervened in personal decisions related to sterilization and birth control, as well as abortion. x
The Right to an Intimate Life
Should the government interfere in activities in your bedroom? Well into the 20th century, every state had laws prohibiting at least one sexual act, even between heterosexual married couples in the privacy of their own home. Explore the numerous lawsuits and trials that eventually extended the protection of privacy to include intimacy, regardless of sexual orientation. x
The Ruby Ridge Trial
Do we Americans have the freedom to isolate ourselves, hold and express views considered racist and hateful by the majority, and stockpile legally purchased weapons? Do we have the liberty to sell a sawed-off shotgun? Explore the complex story and resultant trial that started with Randy and Vicki Weaver wanting to separate themselves from mainstream society, and ended with three dead at Ruby Ridge. x
The Trials of Jack Kevorkian
Jack Kevorkian believed strongly that individuals should have the right to end their pain and suffering, and with his inventions of the "thanotron" and the "mercitron," Kevorkian helped hundreds do just that. Legally tried, having escaped conviction time after time, a final trial proved his undoing. Explore Dr. Kevorkian's work on behalf of an individual's right to euthanasia, why he believed he was taking a stand for liberty, and why he was eventually convicted of second-degree homicide. x
Do private organizations have the right to exclude members based on criteria that many—maybe even most in society—find objectionable? When the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) expelled scout leader James Dale because he way gay, Dale challenged the BSA's authority to use sexual orientation as a basis for exclusion. In a case pitting Dale's claimed right to be free from discrimination against the associational rights of the Scouts, the Supreme Court sided with the Boy Scouts. Examine why the U.S. Supreme Court decided as it did, and the effects and implications of its ruling. x
Kelo v. City of New London
Does a city have the right to use eminent domain to take private property and sell it for private development if the city believes that development will improve the city's economy? Learn how Susette Kelo's refusal to sell her "little pink house" in New London, CT, led to a Supreme Court case addressing what she described to Congress as "eminent domain abuse"—and why she lost the case. x
The Citizens United Case
U.S. candidates have a long history of trying to outraise and outspend their opponents to win elections. This has meant, oftentimes, that big corporations and wealthy donors determine election outcomes and, at least potentially, gain an opportunity to influence the votes and policies of the candidates they helped elect. In response, Congress had repeatedly tried to curtail such "corrupting" activities. Explore why, then, in 2010, the Supreme Court declared any ban on political spending by corporations to be unconstitutional—and why, at the same time, most polls show strong support for a constitutional amendment to overturn the ruling. x
Liberty for Nonhumans?
Many Americans were initially excluded from "liberty and justice for all." Is it possible that future trials will result in greater liberties for apes, cetaceans, and elephants? Learn how "Tommy" became the first chimpanzee to have a suit for his freedom filed on his behalf and why one judge on the New York Court of Appeals says the issue of fundamental rights for nonhuman animals is not going away. x

It took nearly four hours for an ambulance to arrive at a life-threatening emergency in Mayo
Published: Thursday, 24 October 2019 06:25
It has taken an ambulance at least an hour to arrive at a life-threatening emergency more than 120 times this year.
On one occasion, it was nearly four hours before a patient was attended to.
According to guidelines from the Health Information and Quality Authority, an ambulance should arrive at life-threatening emergencies in less than 19 minutes in 80 percent of cases.
But new figures, released under the Freedom of Information Act, show this target isn't being met in the vast majority of cases.
On 123 occasions in the first nine months of this year, it was more than an hour before an ambulance arrive.
Of the response times of more than an hour, 26 were in Wexford, followed by 20 in Cork and 13 in Kerry.
Nine times this year, it took at least an hour for an ambulance to arrive at a life-threatening emergency in Mayo - one of which was 3 hours and 50 minutes, which was the worst in the country.


Altius sponsored a free live webinar to demonstrate how companies can leverage Microsoft Excel for enterprise-grade Performance Management. In this webinar, attendees learned how Excel can become capable for enterprise-level tasks, including business performance management, with the addition of a database foundation, workflow engine, and security controls to guard data and models. Thought leader, Craig Schiff, President and CEO of BPM Partners, shared his predictions for Performance Management, including embracing MS Office.
When the limitations of Excel are addressed effectively, then substantial cost savings – versus investing in a non-Excel packaged application for BPM- are likely.

Wahriz fou un general persa fill de Kamdjar, al servei de Khusraw Anushirwan (531-579). El seu nom ("Gaudir de l'Abundància") era inicialment un títol testimoniat en l'expedició persa al regne d'Ibèria i Lazika a l'inici del .

Sayf ibn Dhi Yazan, cap de la resistència nacional iemenita contra l'ocupació axumita, va cridar als sassànides vers 570 a través dels làkhmides. El rei va enviar un contingent manat per Wahriz, que ja era bastant gran. L'expedició va seguir la costa d'Aràbia fins al Iemen i allí va desembarcar i es va obrir camí per terra fins a Sanaa, on va matar el governador axumita Masruk, fill d'Abraha, i va posar al poder a Sayf ibn Dhi Yazan com a rei vassall dels perses. Un intent de contraatac dels axumites va suposar una segona expedició de Wahriz que va entrar altre cop a Sanaa on va posar al tron a Madi Karib ibn Sayf, el pare del qual havia mort. Les expedicions de Wahriz foren l'inici d'un domini sassànida al Iemen que va durar 60 anys.

Wahriz hauria mort al Iemen abans del 579.

In general, we can say, that it's same. This is two policies that give money when someone dies. That's easy to understand. However, how these services marketed?
First, final expense and burial insurance are the interchangeable, same terms. This service provides money to cover burial expenses. Burial insurance mostly buy people between 50-80 ages. It means that buyers are people who need coverage, but they don't have much money for paying at once.
It is really a huge market. There are many (millions) people who has no savings but have stabile specific incoming. Agent just needs to find that type of people and push them to buy exactly this type of insurance.
Agent doesn't look for the biggest 5% income earners, because this area is really competitive, also sales process much longer. According to demographic statistic, business growing daily. A lot of prospects have inferior insurance; therefore, replacing insurance will give a big part of incoming.
To sell burial Insurance its good opportunity, you can consider about it. This product is easy to sell, and moreover, it's connected with other life insurance products. Just its sort of niche, where you can specialize. Many insurance sell both life as well as final expense insurance. Similarly, lead generation companies sell both kinds of insurance leads i.e. final expense leads and life insurance leads as well.

Chance Marsteller has two losses, one to Cenzo by one point, one to Shields in OT. He has wrestled a comparatively easy schedule.
Does he have a realistic chance of getting to the finals, which would mean going through Marinelli, or even winning it all?
don't you know Marinelli is losing to Joe Smith or Mekhi Lewis before he'd have his chance vs Chance?
more seriously, I think he can give Marinelli a tough match but I'm not betting against the Bull making finals.
I started a similar thread about Chance on Monday.
Like you said, he has one point OT losses to Cenzo and Shields. He also has a win over Chandler Rogers. Add family, friends and former HS coaches making the 3 1/2 hour journey from Central PA to Pittsburgh to sit in the stands to cheer their guy on and he may very well make it all the way.
Does the 4-time undefeated HS state champ / 2018 4th place AA / 2019 EWL OW have a chance at making it to the finals and possibly winning it all?
I think Chance has a great chance to win the whole shibang. There's only a handful of guys at 165 who can beat Chance, and he's within shouting range of all those ahead of him if you get my drift. It wouldn't be a huge upset if Chance beat Marinelli, despite their records. It wouldn't be a huge upset if he beat Cenzo either, or Lewis. Is Chance the favorite? Hell no, but he's good enough that with a little luck, and if he gets hot, he could win it all.
Here's a cool potential matchup: Joe Smith vs Chance in the semifinals.
Would be cool to see Chance win it all after his wild ride the last few years. It's interesting he's not wrestled Marinelli yet and his match-up with Wick is a fun one too.
133 and 165.....what weight classes!!!!!!
IIRC he was beating Wick pretty handily at NCAAs before getting pinned, am I remembering that right?
Does the 4-time undefeated HS state champ / 2019 EWL OW have a chance at making it to the finals and possibly winning it all?
I just amended my post with that fact too. Thanks pennsyrules!
Chance is my pick to win NCAA's this year. It may be a bit of a homer pick, but I have always been a Chance fan and it would be awesome to see him finish his ride on top. Chance was beating Wick last year before the pin, and I think he might provide matchup issues for the Bull.
165 is loaded. Whoever comes out on top will have earned it.
To win a title, Marsteller would most likely have to beat Brolsma, Campbell, Wick, Marinelli, and Joseph.
He was in complete control through the first period (up 4-2 I believe with 2 takedowns). Then either he chose down or Wick chose top and Wick cradled him up and pinned him. This was before everyone realized that Wick had that kind of cradling ability. I think Chance is a tough match up for Wick, assuming Chance can prevent from being cradled which most of the top 15 guys at 165 seem to have figured out.
I also think he could be a tough match up for Marinelli, especially if he can get to his left side underhook consistently. That would completely shut down Marinelli's offense if he can get to it and also open up some scoring opportunities. Was Imar able to get to his underhook against Marinelli last year? I can't remember.
Whew, I am filling out my brackets and I just can't get over Marinelli's draw. More than likely smith, Mekhi, wick/marstellar. I honestly think he is probably the best wrestler at the weight but that is a tough tough road to get to the finals. I will happily eat crow but I just can't see him navigating that. Yeesh.
Super rough bracket for a #1 seed.
It's also likely Viruet, who took Marinelli to OT at the Midlands in round 2, if he beats Jojo.
If Marinelli runs that row, his "Chance" to be named OW should be pretty good.
If Tyler can knock off both Fogarty and Wick, then I'll take Chance over Marinelli in the quarters.
If Chance meets Marinelli it'll be either the semifinals or in the consos somewhere.
Long Island Marty said Marsteller makes the finals... Chance is doomed.
Hard but not impossible. Last year was a hard weight too and he lost to Martinez, beat Lewis, McFadden, Rogers and was beating Wick 4-1 before picking down and getting cradled.


Losing vital emergency services to floods can be devastating for the safety of our communities especially in a time when hospitals, fire stations and police stations are needed the most.
Temporary or 'field' hospitals may have to be set up to accomodate any casualties from a flood event. This would be necessary if the main emergency centre was affected by flood water or if emergency vehicles were unable to access it.
