Governor speaks
Posted on	June 9, 2013 11:46 am by Web Desk
QUETTA: Balochistan Governor Nawab Zulfiqar Ali Magsi has said nationalists have took part in recently held elections and returned to assembly. It is good omen.
He said this while speaking to newsmen after administering oath to Dr Abdul Malik Baloch as provincial Chief Minister at Governor House here Sunday.
He said Dr Malik has been minister in his cabinet. He said he briefed Dr Malik on running the government last night. He has assumed his office today. Formation of cabinet is pending yet. It is hoped he would bring positive change.
He said even after 18 th amendment, Centre has the habit to interfere. When a habit grows older it goes gradually. He said a man smokes cigarettes for 30 years. He cannot get rid of it suddenly. He needs time for it.
He said he has resigned from the office of Governor and not from politics. He would remain in the politics. He said he was not empowered for talks with insurgents not any one asked so.
He said with Dr Malik becoming Chief Minister situation would change. He has taken oath now. It is hoped he would be successful and control the situation.


In every city, the biggest challenge is to stand out from the crowd.
We want to present Prague as we feel it to be—one of the most beguiling and transcendental cities in the world—and we want to be the heart that guides you through it.
We are a home for travellers and a haven for locals, dedicated to creating a community in the very heart of the city. Take a look around at everything we have to offer, and we hope that one day you will become a part of our ever-growing family.
We would love to be your home-away-from-home in Prague, and we look forward to meeting you.


It Was Always Sunny in Philadelphia!
Sunny and 82 degrees — every day. This type of weather forecast isn't what I typically look forward to during a conference week. However FORUM 2014 – A Keystone Connection wasn't your typical conference. Through an unprecedented partnership, FORUM 2014 harnessed the energy of 781 preservation-minded individuals from 48 states. These attendance numbers and ideal weather conditions will be hard to top in future years.
SOLD OUT. That's what many saw/heard when trying to register after the early bird deadline. Preliminary arrangements were made to accommodate 500 attendees. Mr. Conference Planner Extraordinaire, PHMC's own Cory Kegerise, had to call in numerous favors from his alma mater to welcome the additional 281 registrants to the City of Brotherly Love. It might be a stretch to equate Cory to Rocky Balboa, but there were occasions when Cory had to put up his dukes to ensure the conference would be a success. Cory also had a vast system of volunteers and interns; this additional support gave him at least 30 more legs and arms in the FORUM ring.
Fun?? Relaxing? If our student attendees found the conference fun, relaxing, and educational I think we did something right!
During the opening forum at the Arch Street United Methodist Church NAPC Board Chair Esther Hall referred to FORUM 2014 – A Keystone Connection as an arranged marriage. Albeit an unusual marriage, the unity of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, National Alliance of Preservation Commissions, Preservation Pennsylvania, and PennDOT was a match that made history. Kudos to the small army who made the conference a knockout.
PHMC staff photographer, Don Giles, traveled to Philadelphia to capture some of Friday's festivities. If you were one of those who received the SOLD OUT message, you can experience a glimpse of the conference through his lens. Likewise some of our partners shared their conference memories to include in this photo essay — thank you Preservation PA, PennDOT interns, and History Colorado for providing illuminating snapshots!

Phillip Joseph Nevin (né le  à Fullerton, Californie, États-Unis) est un ancien joueur professionnel de baseball.

Gagnant du Golden Spikes Award remis au meilleur joueur collégial des États-Unis et tout premier athlète sélectionné au repêchage amateur en 1992, Phil Nevin évolue dans la Ligue majeure de baseball de 1995 à 2006, jouant 7 de ses 12 saisons chez les Padres de San Diego. Il frappe 208 coups de circuit en carrière et représente San Diego au match des étoiles en 2001.

À l'origine un joueur de troisième but, il évolue surtout au premier but en fin de carrière, en plus de disputer un nombre substantiel de matchs aux postes de voltigeur et de receveur. Nevin est aussi notable pour son caractère intempestif, qui entraîne plusieurs incidents au long de sa carrière.

Il entreprend une seconde carrière d'entraîneur et est nommé en 2014 au poste de gérant des Aces de Reno, un club des ligues mineures affilié aux Diamondbacks de l'Arizona.

Carrière de joueur

Débuts
Le talent de Phil Nevin est remarqué alors qu'il est encore à l'école secondaire. En juin 1989, les Dodgers de Los Angeles de la Ligue majeure de baseball le choisissent au  de sélection du repêchage des joueurs amateurs, mais Nevin repousse l'offre de  dollars proposée par les Dodgers pour rejoindre les Titans de l'université d'État de Californie à Fullerton, où il joue au baseball et au football américain.

En 1992, il joue dans les College World Series, mais Cal State perd contre Pepperdine. Malgré la défaite, Nevin est nommé meilleur joueur de la compétition (College World Series Most Outstanding Player).

Phil Nevin est le tout premier athlète sélectionné au repêchage des joueurs amateurs en 1992. Le joueur de troisième but est réclamé par les Astros de Houston et reçoit une prime de  dollars à la signature de son premier contrat professionnel. Le choix de Nevin par les Astros ne fait cependant pas que des heureux. D'aucuns dans l'organisation estime qu'il n'est pas la meilleure option possible. L'ancien joueur vedette Hal Newhouser, à l'époque dépisteur des Astros, ne jure que par Derek Jeter, un joueur d'une école secondaire de Kalamazoo. Malgré son insistance, les Astros optent pour Nevin, essentiellement parce qu'ils ont confiance que celui-ci acceptera une somme d'argent moins élevée pour son premier contrat. Le club a aussi été échaudé, un an plus tôt, après avoir été incapable de mettre sous contrat son premier choix, John Burke. Cinq équipes au total rateront Jeter, choisi  au total par les Yankees de New York, pour qui il frappera  coups sûrs en carrière et dont il deviendra l'un des meilleurs joueurs de l'histoire. Déçu de n'avoir pu convaincre ses patrons, Newhouser quitte son poste par dépit peu après le repêchage de 1992.

Phil Nevin gagne en 1992 le Golden Spikes Award, remis annuellement au meilleur joueur amateur des États-Unis, après une saison de 20 circuits et 71 points produits accompagnée d'une moyenne au bâton de ,391 pour les Titans de Cal State.

Astros de Houston
Pour les Astros, un autre argument en faveur de la sélection de Nevin était la possibilité de le faire rapidement graduer au niveau majeur. Ils envisagent même de lui fait sauter entièrement l'étape des ligues mineures. Classé  joueur d'avenir au top 100 annuel de Baseball America au début 1993, Nevin connaît un excellent camp d'entraînement avec Houston, mais le joueur de troisième but Ken Caminiti amorçant la première saison d'un contrat de 3 ans, il n'y a plus de place sur le terrain pour le nouveau venu. La franchise l'assigne au Triple-A, plus haut niveau des ligues mineures, pour amorcer sa carrière professionnelle. Comme Nevin démontre des habiletés pour plusieurs positions sur le terrain, il partage ses efforts entre le troisième but et le champ extérieur à sa première année dans les mineures pour les Toros de Tucson de la Ligue de la côte du Pacifique, une stratégie qui, espère-t-on à Houston, permettra de lui trouver un poste plus rapidement chez les Astros. Avant la saison 1994, Baseball America lui fait gagner quelques rangs et le place  sur sa liste annuelle des joueurs les plus prometteurs. Son accession aux majeures est cependant retardée d'une part par ses problèmes défensifs (61 erreurs au total en 1993 et 1994), et d'autre part par la grève des joueurs en 1994-1995. Bien que les Astros avaient l'intention de lui faire amorcer la saison 1995 avec le club majeur, ils l'assigent aux mineures en raison de son refus de participer aux matchs préparatoires durant l'entraînement de printemps : le conflit de travail dans la ligue n'est à ce moment toujours pas réglé, et la plupart des clubs ont la ferme intention d'amorcer la campagne avec des joueurs de remplacement. Il est alors fortement recommandé aux athlètes des ligues mineures de ne pas accepter de jouer les briseurs de grève, ce qui motive le refus de Nevin, qui subit les représailles des Astros.

Nevin fait ses débuts dans le baseball majeur le  avec les Astros de Houston. Il est retourné aux mineures moins d'un mois plus tard, n'ayant frappé que pour ,117 de moyenne au bâton en 18 matchs, et après une altercation avec le gérant des Astros, Terry Collins et le directeur-gérant Bob Watson. Résultat : les Astros transfèrent Nevin aux Tigers de Détroit le  en échange du lanceur de relève droitier Mike Henneman.

Tigers de Détroit
Nevin apparaît dans 160 matchs des Tigers de la fin 1995 à 1997, sans grand succès puisqu'il frappe pour ,246 de moyenne au bâton avec 19 coups de circuit. Jouant sur une base plus régulière à sa dernière année à Détroit, sa moyenne au bâton ne s'élève qu'à ,235 en 93 matchs joués, avec 9 circuits.

Angels d'Anaheim
Le , les Tigers le cèdent aux Angels d'Anaheim en échange d'un lanceur droitier, Nick Skuse, qui n'atteindra jamais les majeures. Son unique saison à Anaheim, en 1998, est encore moins remarquable que la précédente : moyenne au bâton de ,228 en 75 parties jouées et 8 circuits. Après avoir alterné entre le troisième but et le champ gauche à Détroit, Nevin est receveur des Angels en 1998, la seule saison de sa carrière qu'il passe presque exclusivement à cette position. Il n'aide guère sa cause auprès des Angels car il mène les receveurs du baseball majeur cette année-là avec 20 balles passées.

Padres de San Diego
C'est avec les Padres de San Diego que Phil Nevin s'impose enfin et connaît le succès. Les Angels l'y envoient le , tout juste avant le début de la nouvelle saison, en échange de deux joueurs de ligues mineures et de l'arrêt-court Andy Sheets.

Après une première campagne de 24 circuits et 85 points produits en 1999, Nevin fait passer sa moyenne au bâton de ,269 à ,303 en 2000, campagne où il claque 31 circuits et produit 107 points. En , il accepte une prolongation de contrat à 2,5 millions de dollars avec San Diego.

Il connaît sa meilleure saison en 2001, année où il honore à la mi-saison sa seule invitation en carrière au match des étoiles. Nevin maintient cette année-là une moyenne au bâton de ,306 avec des sommets personnels de 41 circuits, 126 points produits et 167 coups sûrs. Il hausse sa moyenne de puissance de ,543 à ,588 et à ce sommet en carrière ajoute aussi son pourcentage de présence sur les buts (,388) le plus élevé en une saison.

Jouant 7 saisons pour les Padres, Nevin y frappe 156 de ses 208 circuits en carrière, produit 573 points et maintient une moyenne au bâton de ,288 et une moyenne de puissance de ,503 en 806 matchs joués au total.

Des blessures le limitent cependant à 59 matchs seulement en 2003, et marqueront les dernières saisons de sa carrière, passées sous d'autres cieux. Quelques incidents surviennent : il doit en septembre 2002 s'excuser pour avoir fait un doigt d'honneur à un spectateur injurieux, frustré par son jeu défensif. Les Padres emménagent en 2004 dans un nouveau stade, le Petco Park, qui devient rapidement notoire pour fortement désavantager les frappeurs de puissance. À l'instar de ses coéquipiers Ryan Klesko et Brian Giles, Nevin en fait l'expérience et finit par perdre patience : dans un match d' où une balle qu'il croyait voir traverser la clôture tombe sur le terrain et finit en double, il lance violemment son casque protecteur et jette un regard mauvais au directeur-gérant de l'équipe assis dans sa loge, Kevin Towers, avec qui il a une dispute après la partie. Towers parle d'ailleurs son rapport avec Nevin à cette époque comme d'une « relation amour-haine ». Les deux hommes semblent néanmoins plutôt bien s'en accommoder puisque Towers offrira un emploi à Nevin dans sa seconde carrière.

À partir de 2004, Nevin joue presque exclusivement au premier but.

Dernières saisons
Le , Nevin passe des Padres aux Rangers du Texas en échange du lanceur droitier Chan Ho Park. Le , les Rangers le cèdent aux Cubs de Chicago en retour du joueur d'utilité Jerry Hairston.

Transféré aux Twins du Minnesota contre un joueur de ligues mineures le , avec qui il complète sa dernière saison et joue pour la seule fois de sa carrière en séries éliminatoires, étant retiré trois fois lors d'un match de la Série de divisions joué comme frappeur désigné contre les Athletics d'Oakland le .

Phil Nevin a disputé  matchs en 12 saisons dans le baseball majeur. Il compte  coups sûrs, dont 209 doubles, 6 triples et 208 circuits. Il compte 743 points produits et 584 points marqués. Sa moyenne au bâton de ,270 s'ajoute à une moyenne de présence sur les buts de ,343 et à une moyenne de puissance en carrière de ,472.

Ne recevant pas d'offre qu'il juge acceptable pour la saison 2007, il annonce en mai sa retraite de joueur. Il rejoint peu après l'équipe d'ESPN pour la diffusion de matchs des College World Series avant de retrouver dès 2009 les terrains dans le rôle de manager des Flyers du comté d'Orange (Orange County Flyers), un club de baseball indépendant de la Golden Baseball League.

Carrière d'entraîneur
Nevin est gérant de deux équipes des ligues mineures affiliées aux Tigers de Détroit : les SeaWolves d'Érié au niveau Double-A en 2010, puis les Mud Hens de Toledo, le club-école Triple-A de la Ligue internationale de 2011 à 2013.

En 2014, il est nommé gérant des Aces de Reno, le club-école AAA des Diamondbacks de l'Arizona dans la Ligue de la côte du Pacifique. Il est engagé dans ce rôle par Kevin Towers, l'ancien directeur-gérant des Padres avec qui il avait eu de nombreuses disputes dans le passé. Nevin dit avoir beaucoup appris de Bruce Bochy, son gérant chez les Padres, qu'il a observé au travail durant les longs matchs passés sur le banc, lorsque à l'écart du jeu en raison de blessures.

Vie personnelle
Son fils Tyler Nevin, un lanceur droitier, est sélectionné  au total lors du repêchage amateur de 2015, par les Rockies du Colorado.

Grade A Architecture: The World's Most Spectacular University Buildings
Real Estate Times 25/02/2014 3 min read
Lecture halls at dizzying heights, libraries with glass-domed roofs or crooked seminar rooms with slanting walls – it is not just in the field of learning that universities have plenty to offer, but on an architectural level, too. From the historic Universiteitsbibliotheek KU Leuven of 1928 to the enormous glass sphere of the Philologische Bibliothek in Berlin to the brand-new, tent-like Campus Luigi Einaudi in Turin: Emporis (emporis.com), the international provider of building data, has compiled a selection of the most spectacular university buildings from around the world.
All students set their sights high, but for the 30,000 enrolled at Lomonosov Moscow State University, this is meant literally as well as figuratively, since their main building, dating from 1953, is the world's tallest university building at 240 meters in height. Over its 36 stories it contains everything one could expect from an educational institution, including a 1,500-seat auditorium, seminar rooms, a library, and even a museum. A further example of concentration of knowledge is the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower in Tokyo: Completed in 2008, the 204-meter-tall, cocoon-shaped skyscraper is home to no fewer than three different colleges, their teaching rooms offering breathtaking views of the city.
By contrast, the architects of the Swanston Academic Building and the Sharp Centre for Design use colorful elements to set accents. The first catches the eye with its wavy and jagged facade that mirrors the colors of the surrounding buildings. Inside, loud red, green and yellow are the dominant hues. The shape and coloring of the Sharp Centre for Design also represent a distinct contrast to its surroundings: The Centre's black-and-white structure, which is reminiscent of a chessboard, stands on bright stilts and appears to hover above the neighboring buildings.
Perhaps less colorful, but at least as spectacular, is the effect created by Bradfield Hall at Cornell University. The dark-red brick building with its rectangular and round pillars is almost entirely windowless, all of which combines to give it the weighty, massive appearance of a medieval fort. The Graduate Centre of London Metropolitan University and the Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre in Hong Kong also opt for monochrome facades, in gray and white respectively. Nevertheless, both buildings jump straight out of the landscape: The slanting walls with their narrow window slits seem to positively sink into one another.
Wherever one looks, universities are increasingly setting store by having architectural highlights on campus. Some of the chunky relics of the 60s and 70s, on the other hand, are being torn down. This was recently the case in Frankfurt am Main, where February 2, 2014 saw the demolition of the AfE-Turm. In the largest inner-city controlled blasting Europe has ever seen, the high-rise at the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität, dating from 1972, was destroyed in a matter of seconds.

Tahith Chong Debut Against Huddersfield?
February 14, 2018 Mark	Leave a comment
Tahith Chong, a name Manchester United fans may not have heard of a few months ago, is suddenly the man, or boy, many fans want to be the next youth player given a run out for the first team. With Huddersfield up next in the cup, is it the perfect time for Chong to be given his chance?
For someone so young – Chong only turned 18 in December – Tahith Chong is already making up for lost time. A serious knee injury kept him out for most of 2017 so it's credit to him and his talent that we're only two months in to 2018 and he's already banging on the door of the first team.
Fast, skillful and a competent finisher, Chong has the look of accomplished United wingers from years gone by. Ryan Giggs is an obvious comparison and Chong does possess that ability to glide along with the ball at speed and beat a man. But for anyone who's seen Chong and old clips of George Best in his younger days there's definitely a resemblance in the way Chong keeps the ball close, can ride a tackle, and never looks in any trouble despite the number of players around him.
Of course comparing an 18 year old youth player to one of the world's "Best" ever players is at this stage fanciful. Chong's first challenge is to force his way in to Jose Mourinho's plans before he can even begin to think about how good he can be.
So how close to a first team call up is Chong and is he likely to be involved against Huddersfield?
In answer to the first question, he should be very close. He's recently featured and performed well for the U23's, which is effectively the reserves, and with Mourinho monitoring those performances a first team call up should be imminent. However, I'd be very surprised if Mourinho calls him up any time soon. Mourinho isn't Sir Alex Ferguson. If he was then Chong would be involved against Huddersfield. Sir Alex was never shy in promoting youth, especially young talented flair players, and Chong fits that particular statement like a glove.
Mourinho is different though. His record with bringing through youth, despite his protestations, isn't good. He's also already stated that he wants to bring through one youth player a season and this season it's McTominay. Others have been given a few minutes here and there but Mourinho doesn't appear to be the sort of manager that would consider Chong's involvement any time in the next month or so a priority.
The more realistic hope for Chong is that the first team find some sort of consistent form between now and April and tie up Champions League football so that Mourinho has the option of blooding some youth in the remaining dead rubber league games. But with the way United are playing at the moment it could be be that every game counts between now and the end of the season. Which is likely to mean no debut for Chong any time soon.

Youth watch: Tahith Chong
August 15, 2016 UnitedRoad	1 Comment
1st Year scholar Tahith Chong will be one to watch for me. We beat a host of football clubs for this boys signature so after a successful personal campaign with the Netherland's I'd like to take a little peek at the boy from willemstad, Curacao.
His national side saw them reach the quarter finals, a 62nd minute winner against the swedes in the bakcell arena, Azerbaijan was a personnel high.
He took part in 354 minutes of game time in Azerbaijan, only missing 46 mins of the tournament, all late substitutions! Clearly stating his importance to the Dutch. The last time we bought a player from the Eredivisie we bagged Timothy Fosu-Mensah so here we take a little look at our new Dutch star in the making.
Born: Dec 4, 1999
Ethnicity: Netherlands/Curacao
Position: Striker – Wing
Junior Team: Feyenoord (2009-2016)
Hailing from the same academy as Robin Van Persie, Manchester United 1st summer signing was a little lower key than Ibrahimović and Pogba. He came from a tiny Dutch island, not far from Aruba and Venezuela, eventually earning himself a 5 year stint with Feyenoord.
Tahith Chong has made the move to Manchester, where and don't hold me to it, although I suspect you will, this kid has what it takes to go very far in the game.
There is already an arrogance that you need if you're to make it to the top of this game and I feel that he has it in spades, gliding past opponents with ease, a sublime left foot, an eye for goal or pass and the ability to run at speed, leaving his opponents with nightmares.
I'd be surprised if you didn't feel the relief of all Dutch youth managers when he signed for us as, they will have a much easier season ahead.
Manchester United has once again seemingly unearthed a genuine future product, one I am really looking forward to us developing. There are a few new scholar signings this Year, however I feel this is the pick of the bunch for me and I am very much looking forward to seeing him in united colours.
With the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimović, a certain world record transfer and the youth we already have you would be forgiven for not sitting up and taking notice of this signing.
The future looks bright, the future looks red!

Chong set to sign for United
April 6, 2016 Paul Gardiner	Leave a comment
With the 2015/16 season drawing ever closer to its conclusion we can expect to see a sudden rise in transfer rumours once again. And the subject of this particular transfer rumour is Feyenoord wonderkid Tahith Chong.
It has been reported by the Daily Mail that talks are at an advanced stage and a deal is expected to be completed for the 16 year old in the coming days.
United are said to have seen off competition from other Premier League clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea for Chong's signature.
Feyenoord did try their best to keep hold of the youngster but the emergence of United's youth players such as Marcus Rashford, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson appears to have given some encouragement to Chong.
Tahith Chong's favoured position is on the left wing where he plays most of his football, but he can also play anywhere across the attacking front line, making him the type of versatile player Louis Van Gaal prefers.
As there has been no word about this transfer from either club, we should take this rumour lightly as we have seen reports like this on many occasions and nothing has come of it, leaving us all bitterly disappointed!

Exponential Interactive, the digital advertising company, today announced the results from its Garage Team Mazda video campaign to increase brand awareness for the Mazda CX-5. The campaign eclipsed engagement benchmarks, delivering more than double post-engagement click-throughs, driving traffic to Mazda's website.
The goal was to achieve brand awareness in the market, with the initiative running from November 2017 to March 2018. The campaign delivered higher engagements and time spent in unit, proving that users were interacting with the content. Thus, it achieved higher vehicle awareness and ad awareness, with a qualified user group of adults ages 18 to 49 in the market for a vehicle next year, as reported by Kantar Brand Lift Insights. In particular, the video ad campaign drove a significant 30.1 percent lift in vehicle awareness and a 69.6 percent lift in ad awareness.
The campaign, which promoted the model's innovation and design, used credible and unbiased content from Motor Trend Group, including Chief Designer Gives Us A Walkaround of the 2017 Mazda CX-5, and 6 Things To Know About the 2017 Mazda CX-5. In addition to the reviews featured in-unit, Garage Team Mazda showcased Mazda's CX-5 model with other tabs, including Home, Features, and Gallery. The Kantar study showed there was an even distribution of user interaction within each tab, assigning high interest to interact with all features within the ad unit.

Okay, we done nothing but PBs and Training Sessions. Don't you think we should declare war anytime soon? But for fun, not for hatred. Wars are supposed to be made of fun, not hate. This is just the army's opinion and might affect the near future. This is just something random I want to see.
I don't want WW finding they aren't totally ready, I would say we should have a few more PB's, if we pull out good, move to the hard stuff.
We should invade some middle-ranked armies.

On the sixth day of Kissimmee we have a pair of community teams looking to take the next step – be it a title or a deep bracket run and three pot five teams looking to prove that they belong among the country's best.
Entering this season with high expectations, Rochester United (RU) performed basically as expected throughout the season, losing two games to regional rival Quidditch Club Boston and a tight affair with Bowling Green State University while without star keeper Shane Hurlbert. Touting an experienced though often shorthanded roster, RU is a well-oiled machine of on-pitch efficiency at best and a slow, predictable opponent at worst. Even when the team falls back on its standard strategy of hero-balling behind keepers Hurlbert and Jon Jackson, the talent of its roster cannot be matched by most opponents. Defensively, a rotation of solid point defenders dictate the pace of the defense, allowing one of the deepest beater corps in the country to help limit opponents to under 100 quaffle points in all but one game this season.
A second straight year as the runners-up in the Northeast Regional Championship may have been disappointing to the team, but all of the pieces are in place for RU to make a run for the US Quidditch Cup 10 title. The team is built around Hurlbert and Jackson, who both command extra defensive attention due to their athleticism and penchant for scoring from any spot of the pitch. A non-male chaser rotation of Alyssa Giarrosso, Helen Snell, and Maria Jackson allows for the team to seamlessly switch between traditional and double-male beater sets. Though there is much to be said for the star-driven aspect of the sport, the depth of RU's roster will end up being its greatest strength heading into US Quidditch Cup 10, and a second-straight finals appearance is very likely for this experienced and athletic squad.
The RIT Dark Marks have admittedly had a down year. Despite losing few players from their US Quidditch Cup 9 squad, the Dark Marks were unable to improve much on their 5-10 record entering the national championship last season, winning only nine out of 22 games this season. RIT's penchant for seeking high-quality opponents has been a partial issue, but entering US Quidditch Cup 10 without a win so far in the spring might prove detrimental to RIT's ability to compete.
That being said, this team is not without its bright spots. At his best, keeper Brendan Jacobs is one of the hardest players to bring down in the sport, and his ability to lead an offense and provide solid defense both at the hoops and on point, is an asset RIT will need to fully utilize moving forward. Supporting chasers Mitch Brown, Dominic Arieno, and Matt Robinson are still developing as players, with flashes of brilliance amongst their consistent performance throughout the season. A lack of a standout seeker is likely to hurt RIT heading into the national championship, as it went 0-4 in SWIM situations in the spring and 3-7 over the course of the year. Expect RIT to double down on scouting its opponents and providing them with a gritty opening round performance. Amongst Pot 5 teams, RIT has a very good chance to exceed expectations, but a trip to bracket play might be a stretch.
It took until the last round and a snitch catch (90*-50 final score) at the Southwest Regional Championship for SHSU Quidditch to qualify for US Quidditch Cup 10 this year out of the tertiary bracket. The team has struggled this year; despite playing well enough to drop Oklahoma State University in the semifinals, SHSU was handed a loss in the finals of Platinum Cup by fellow USQ Cup 10 qualifiers the Silver Phoenix. The team has been able to get to the finals in previous tournaments this season, including Brooms on the Brazos, but has struggled to get to the first place podium. Historically, however, SHSU is slow to warm in the first part of the season, and this year shows it following the same path.
Players to watch include seeker and captain TJ Goaley, who keeps a steady head about him in relentless pursuit of snitches, as well as Hayley Rutledge, whose play both on offense and defense helped give SHSU the final spot from the Southwest. Katherine Hayworth at chaser is another who is unafraid of laying down the tackles on defense that the region is well known for. This team will be an outside shot to make the bracket. It is equally able to rise to the occasion or crumple under a few bad plays; however, its physicality may help it eke through.
When the historic Louisiana State University program started to decline after World Cup VII, it was only a matter of time before we saw another great team pop up out of southern Louisiana. That team is Gulf Coast Gumbeaux, a second-year community team based out of the New Orleans area. The team has the ability to throw some amazing beaters at you, whether it's seasoned veterans Kody LaBauve and Sarah Kneiling or budding stars Josh Mansfield and Brittany Laurent (who will be playing as a keeper at US Quidditch Cup), and they have all developed great chemistry with one another. Gumbeaux has fit nicely in the upper-middle tier of the Southwest talent pool, being a step below the top-tier teams, such as Lone Star Quidditch Club and Texas Cavalry, but a step above many of the college teams in the region.
Gumbeaux is in complete control of its own fate – it could miss bracket play just as easily as it could make a quarterfinal run. While Gumbeaux's beaters held their own in every game at the Southwest Regional Championship and even dominated other beater corps in numerous games, there are so many question marks surrounding the team's quaffle play. Mansfield has become a very consistent hyper-aggressive style beater, oftentimes getting bludger control, then beating out the third bludger. However, while these driving lanes are being created, the Gumbeaux chasers have not been taking full advantage of these scoring opportunities. The team has done a great job adapting its gameplay strategies depending on its opponents, but when its chasers aren't finishing on offense, Gumbeaux will not be able to reach its full potential. If Gumbeaux has developed a reliable seeker and the chasers are able to consistently utilize the opportunities the beaters create, this team can be dangerous to face down the road.
Another season, another upset, and another surprise run to US Quidditch Cup 10 for the Firebirds. For three years in a row, the Illinois State University (ISU) Firebirds have played Cinderella and beaten a team ranked far higher than themselves to qualify for USQ's championship tournament. How was it done this season? Having elite seeking doesn't hurt. After being selected to Team USA over the summer, Jeff Siwek continued his habit of coming through in the clutch. Due to his outstanding play, as well as fantastic beating during the snitch on pitch, ISU has a chance to win every time it plays an in-range game. Unfortunately, staying in range has been a problem. ISU is still trying to find its rhythm on the offensive side of the pitch, and time is running out. However, if it does develop that chemistry, complete its passes, and finish at the hoops, this team can be dangerous.
ISU relies on a drive-and-dish style of offense to create easy chances for its off-ball quaffle players. Siwek and keeper Emerson Gagnon are both nightmares to guard one-on-one, and when playing well, they can help the Firebirds put up points quickly. They have quality passing options in MJ Siwek, Elizabeth Cerullo, and Jaxon Matheny, who all can finish in traffic. The beaters, led by captain Jeremy Hoffman and Crystal Jones, love to play a smart and aggressive game. Where this team truly shines is during snitch-on-pitch situations. Siwek is a world-class seeker, and backup Matheny is an excellent change of pace as well. While likely not a threat to make it to bracket play, don't be surprised if the Firebirds pull off an upset and shake up the standings on Day One.

The American women who swam in this summer's Olympics wore suits that look ultra modest in our string-bikini world. Black and sleek, the suits are built for function, not to show off form.
Yet 100 years ago, the Olympians would have been arrested had they ventured into lake, river or pool in their modest Speedos.
In these King Collection photos at Loon Lake, Wash., in 1914, in the hot of summer, the King sisters and friends wade into the water in full street clothes, skirts hiked up to the knees. Were they cooling off after a long ride from Spokane in pre-air-conditioning days? Or were they taking one last dip before a trip home?
Likely, their bathing suits weren't much lighter. Women of the time, according to various fashion histories, wore wool swimming costumes with long sleeves and skirts that swept the top of the knees. And they wore black hose.
In 1907, Annette Kellerman, a distance swimmer from Australia turned American diving-tank performer, was arrested on a beach in Boston for wearing a bathing costume that showed her arms, legs and neck.
In 1912, women swam for the first time in the Olympics, held in Stockholm. Maybe the loosening began with that, because by 1919, when Iowa King Cowan posed next to her husband at Liberty Lake, she wore a suit nearly as "revealing" as Kellerman's 10 years before.
Iowa – married to a well-known Spokane lawyer, active in First Presbyterian Church – would not have pushed the limits of fashion, especially in bathing costumes.
So things had changed – fairly dramatically – at the beach for women in just a decade.
These historic photos remind us that Inland Northwest lakes have welcomed swimmers of all eras, no matter what they wore. And maybe the lakes conspired to cool off a dress-wearing woman of the early 1900s, hat and all, who might have "accidentally" slipped on a rock or stumbled from a log on the hottest summer day, while dreaming of a time, far off, when women might someday swim free of wool, hose and society's expectations.
Might someday swim for gold in the Olympic games, in bathing costumes black and sleek.
