Team Effort Guides Statesmen to Fourth-Straight League Crown

Posted on May 10, 2017 by dev@anthro.is

Oskaloosa–With all five of its players in the top 10, the William Penn women’s golf team dominated the field to once again hoist league hardware at the Heart of America Athletic Conference Championship Monday and Tuesday.

#25 WPU earned its fourth conference title in a row by topping the nine-team field with a two-day tally of 607 (304-303) at the par-71 Edmundson Golf Course. Grand View was a distant second at 655 (327-328).

The 607 smashes the program’s 36-hole team record, previously at 615 during the 2014-2015 campaign. William Penn’s victory secures the Heart’s automatic berth to the NAIA National Championships on May 23-26 in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. (PGA National Golf Course). It is the team’s fourth-straight trip to nationals; the squad will seek to improve upon last year’s 19th-place finish.

With all eight of their ‘kept’ scores in the 70s, the navy and gold took advantage of home-course advantage for their seventh tournament win of the season (ties school record for most wins in a year). The ‘four-peat’ is also the first for any William Penn athletics program in the history of the University.

The lone blemish in an otherwise perfect performance was that WPU did not claim the individual title. Courtesy of the lone eagle in the entire tournament, coming on the last hole no-less, Grand View’s Kimberly Nelson rallied to win the medalist honor and punch her own ticket to nationals. Nelson was first at 150 (73-77).

Jodi Saito (Sr., Mililani, Hawaii, Education) carded a solid 78 on Monday, but then went even lower, improving five strokes Tuesday for a 73 to get into contention for the title. Eventually, she settled for second place at 151.

Miranda Keeler (Jr., Plattsmouth, Neb., Communications) and Helene Larsen (So., Viborg, Denmark, Business Management) were next in a tie for third at 152, but each linksters came to that ending in very different ways. Like Saito, Keeler (77-75) rallied to become a factor in the individual race, but came up just short.

Larsen, on the other hand, played brilliantly on Monday to tie the program mark at 71. In that round, the sophomore had 12 pars and countered three bogeys with three birdies. Unfortunately, Larsen could not maintain that pace in the second 18 (shot an 81) and Nelson overcame her on the 36th and final hole.

Elise Warne (So., Melbourne, Australia, Exercise Science) had some good and some bad, posting a pair of 78s to tie for seventh at 156, while Courtney Cunningham (Sr., Muskogee, Okla., Computer Science) also snatched a top-10 placing with a much better second round. The senior’s 158 (81-77) allowed her to end up ninth in the 50-player standings.

“This team is special; every player in our program pushes one another each and every day,” Head Coach Nik Rule said. “This team has talent, but talent does not win team championships without togetherness and that is something the players in this program have fully embraced. This is a very special group.”

“To set a school record in a big event like this, and to defend our home turf in the way we did, is truly special,” Rule added. “We are proud to represent our University in the way that we have. Nothing beats making our William Penn family proud.”

Lost Genesis Tracks Featured on New Compilation

Posted on May 10, 2017 by dev@anthro.is

Genesis has released new music… kind of.

A new album, Genesis: 50 Years Ago, has been released. The album is full of recently discovered Genesis tracks from the 1960’s. The master tapes were recently found in an old warehouse and sent to Jonathan King, discovered and named the band. The tapes had seemingly been cast aside following the sale of London’s Regent Sound Studios in the 1970’s.

Along with producer Steve Levine, King remixed the tracks.

King says: “The multis were in an old warehouse and had been, with hundreds of others, since the two Regent Sound Studios had been bought and all the tapes stored away in the 60s or 70s.”

King also discussed how he felt listening to the master tapes. “With delight, we listened to the numerous tapes and takes. I could not believe how fantastic Peter Gabriel’s voice was – the reason I signed the group in the first place. And the songs are really great too. I think it is a tremendous album.”

50 Years Ago is now available to purchase. Check out the tracklist below.

Massive Python Slithers Home

The residents of Meadow Lakes, Alaska can rest a little easier now. Sam the pet python, who measures 17-feet-long, has returned home.

As we previously reported, Sam went missing from his home and hasn’t been seen in two weeks. Fortunately for everyone, the snake had been fed a 25-pound rabbit before he made a break for it.

It’s unclear how exactly Sam slithered home, or what he did during his time on the town, but he was found in his owner’s living room in the end.

Mount Everest Climber Found Hiding In A Cave To Avoid Fee

Nepal makes a ton of money from Mount Everest climbers, so it should come as no surprise that they take their climbing fee very seriously. For starters, each and every person who tries to reach the iconic summit has to pay $11-thousand. Ryan Sean Davy didn’t want to do that.

Instead, the 43-year-old from South Africa made it to up to the second base camp all by his lonesome, which is highly unusual for foreign climbers who normally have a group or at least a local guide, or sherpa. Once he was 21-thousand feet up, he was spotted by a government official who was curious as to why he was alone. Davy tried to flee, but was found in a nearby cave.

Now, he’ll have to cough up $22-thousand and face being banned from Nepal for five years or face a 10-year ban on climbing in the country. What’s more, Davy’s passport was confiscated and he’ll have to go to the capital, Kathmandu, to retrieve it. He claims he doesn’t have the cash for a flight to the capital, so he’ll take on a four day journey via bus or on foot.

Now You Can Get Sound As A Tattoo

Love the sound of something so much you wish you could have it with you always? Well Skin Motion has you covered. The company is in the midst of creating tattoos that play up to a minute of whatever audio you’d like.

Here’s how it works: a person gets a sound wave inked on their arm. Then, when the Skin Motion app is on and a phone’s camera is pointed at the tattoo, the audio will play.

The company has videos of the technology on its website, but some are calling it a hoax.. You can go to the Bob’s Morning Brew facebook page and watch the video to make up your own mind.

STUPID CRIMINALS:

Woman ends up in wrong house, wrong bed after a night of drinking:

Allison Marie Plusquellic had been drinking and made the right decision to walk home instead of driving. The 36-year-old thought she had made it to a relative’s Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania house but she had actually crawled into a complete stranger’s house through an open window. What’s more, she walked upstairs and fell asleep in one of the bedrooms. The homeowner called police, who responded to find Plusquellic still snoozing. In the end, she was charged with burglary, for allegedly breaking into a house where someone was present, and two counts of breaking into a structure.

“Silver Man” arrested:

If you’re going to break the law, it’s best to blend in. John Casey III did not get that memo. The 46-year-old street performed in Nashville is also known as the “Silver Man” because, well, he paints himself silver. Casey was found by police in the local McDonald’s parking lot passed out behind the wheel of a running vehicle. He’s now facing operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol/drugs and possession of open alcoholic beverage container in motor vehicle.

Man’s run of disturbances started with gummy bear attack:

Douglas W. Woods Sr. is currently facing battery on a law-enforcement officer, disorderly conduct and vandalism charges and it all started when he wasn’t helped at a candy store in Delray Beach, Florida. When no employee was at the front of the store when he walked in, he got angry, eventually taking a handful of gummy bears and chucking them at the store manager’s face. Woods also allegedly cursed at customers and made hand gestures as if he had a gun. He too reportedly made threats against a security officer and the police officers who took him into custody.

Indian Hills Community College Awarded $14,927 From U.S. Soccer Foundation

Posted on May 10, 2017 by dev@anthro.is

OTTUMWA, IA – Indian Hills Community College today announced it has been awarded a $14,927 grant from the U.S. Soccer Foundation, the national model for sports-based youth development programs in underserved communities. This grant is intended to fund the installation of an irrigation system on the practice soccer field on the College’s North Campus. IHCC was one of nine organizations to receive a grant.

“The impact of this grant will be far reaching,” said IHCC Athletic Director Brett Monaghan. “It will have an immediate effect on approximately 75 collegiate soccer players and will enable IHCC to offer further soccer programming for area youth including camps, clinics and tournaments.”

Currently IHCC’s men’s and women’s teams share a competition soccer field and practice area on the main Ottumwa campus. With limited space, the competition soccer field has been in high demand by both teams. The practice soccer field on the North Campus was added several years ago, however, it fell into disuse because of hard ground. By adding irrigation, the North Campus soccer field turf will become healthy again and safe for use by the IHCC soccer teams and others in the community.

“As the facility matures with the use of the irrigation, area soccer clubs, high school programs and the like will have a quality facility to use when necessary,” Monaghan said. “The recent growth of soccer in the Ottumwa area has placed a high demand on the need for quality facilities and this grant will allow us to offer what is needed to impact this growing population.”

This grant was awarded as part of the U.S. Soccer Foundation’s Safe Places to Play program. Across the country, children in underserved communities face an acute shortage of safe places to play largely because there isn’t enough space in which to create them or funding to maintain them. Safe Places to Play gives kids safe and accessible areas to play by funding the costs of design, construction, surfacing and enhancement in these communities.

“The U.S. Soccer Foundation is excited to support these grant recipients in their continued efforts to leverage the game of soccer for social change and create equal access to safe places to play for all communities,” said Ed Foster-Simeon, President & CEO of the U.S. Soccer Foundation. “These grants will help introduce youth to the game of soccer and promote a culture of health in communities across the country.”

Since its inception in 1994, the U.S. Soccer Foundation has awarded more than $100 million in grants to non-profit organizations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Support for the U.S. Soccer Foundation’s grant process is provided by the Foundation’s corporate partners, including AstroTurf, Hunter Industries, Kwik Goal, Musco Sports Lighting, Soccer.com, Sport Court.

About the U.S. Soccer Foundation

The U.S. Soccer Foundation’s programs are the national model for sports-based youth development in underserved communities. Since its founding in 1994, the Foundation has established programs proven to help children embrace an active and healthy lifestyle while nurturing their personal growth beyond sports. Its cost-effective, high-impact initiatives offer safe environments where kids and communities thrive. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Soccer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization.

May 9th: On This Day

Posted on May 9, 2017 by dev@anthro.is

On this day in 1970, The Guess Who started a three-week run at No.1 Billboard Hot 100 chart with “American Woman”. The single was the band’s sixth Top 30 hit and only chart-topper.

The song was created during a jam session during a concert in Southern Ontario when guitarist Randy Bachman had broken a string. After replacing the string, he began tuning to the, then unknown, riff of American Woman. The other members joined in on the jam. A fan in the audience who had recorded the gig on tape presented it to the group after the show and they developed it into a full song.

After Getting Shamed Online, Group Who Skipped Out On Bill Pay Up

A group of five people skipped out on a $105.97 bill at the Brass Tap in Greenfield, Wisconsin. Unfortunately for them the bar has a social media presence. The Brass Tap posted about the awful customers, complete with their pictures.

“We will be coming for you and will soon post video and pictures and the authorities have been notified,” the Brass Tap writes. “You can come back in and pay or prepare to be prosecuted.”

Two days later, the group turned themselves in thanks to the traction the story got on Facebook. “They owned up to what they did and were remorseful,” the pub explained in an update. “We consider this matter closed and appreciate everyone helping to close this case. We will be deleting their pictures since this matter is now closed.”

Twin Brothers Arrested On Their Birthday

The Pavlack twins don’t have time for your regular old birthday parties. As a pair of women were being escorted out of the security office of Pittsburgh’s PNC Park, they got into a fight. For some reason, Justin and Joshua Pavlack joined in the brawl, with Justin even allegedly going for one of the officer’s guns.

The Pavlacks ended up being arrested right then and there…on what happened to be their 27th birthday. The men, along with Jocylen Baker and Jacobi Finnegan, were said to be highly intoxicated, belligerent and disorderly throughout the incident.

STUPID CRIMINALS:

Charges dismissed against man accused of stealing mom’s stew:

Jonathan Carlos Ray is finally seeing some justice. Back in 2015, the Albuquerque, New Mexico man was charged with stealing his mother’s Posole, a traditional Mexican stew. The only witnesses were Ray himself and his mom, who accused her son of ignoring her warnings to stay away from the dish and running off with it. Ray was arrested but now, two-years-later, the charges have been dropped. No word on whether the stew was worth it.

Woman arrested for dancing naked on a war memorial:

A 44-year-old woman from Kent, England has been arrested after video of her dancing naked on a war memorial went viral. Someone recognized her from the footage and alerted police. The unidentified woman was allegedly, but probably not surprisingly, drunk at the time. She’s now facing charges for being drunk and disorderly, assault and indecent exposure.

Man steals van after being confused for valet:

Steven Jacobs is nothing if not opportunistic. The 37-year-old stole a minivan from Atlantic City’s Wyndham Skyline Tower after the driver handed him the keys, mistaking him for valet. Jacobs was arrested the next day after cops spotted the car. They also found a loaded handgun in the car with him. All in all, Jacobs was charged with theft of movable property and a weapons offense.
