Venerable John Henry Newman, C.O., preached a sermon, of which the following notes survive:
The Church
1. INTROD.—Last week I spoke of one of those great and august works with which our Lord followed up the great Act of Sacrifice, viz. the foundation of His Church. Nor can there be a more suitable time than this season to speak of it, considering it was the chief concern, as far as we know, of the forty days; vide the gospel of this day.
2. Now in this we differ from all other religions about us. They all profess to have the truth as well as we profess it, but there is one thing they do not profess, viz. that their religious society is founded by Almighty God. We do of ours.
3. And since they do not profess it, they will not let us have what they have not themselves.
4. State the doctrine. We profess, not only our religion, but our society to come from Almighty God; we profess it to be divine. We profess it to have a multitude of privileges, etc.
5. Now you may be asked sometimes by a serious objector, sometimes by an inquirer, how it is that we know that the Church comes from God? I answer that it bears the proof of it to all serious men on its very face, if they will but be patient to examine; and I will say how.
6. I said on Good Friday concerning the world that its strength is in the look of things. Men associate together, say the same thing, and seem strong. They keep up appearances. But there is an inside to things as well as an outside. And here is the weakness of the world as a prophet, that it does not touch the inside.
7. Men cannot live for ever on externals. They have heart, affections and aspirations, and the world cannot satisfy these. They have a conscience; they sin, and need direction.
8. Now this is what our Saviour, when on earth, did for His disciples; and thus He attached them to Him. He was a living object of worship—(1) He gave pardon; (2) He gave direction.
9. When He went, He said He would not leave them orphans.
10. This was fulfilled in the Church: (1) pardon, (2) direction, (3) presence—(enlarge).
11. Hence suited to our need—(enlarge).
12. Faith only requisite.

The prehistoric settlement of Akrotiri on the Greek island of Santorini was destroyed by an earthquake that preceded the volcano eruption in 1615 BC. The mixture of volcanic ash and pumice helped preserve the remains of the prosperous and advanced community for more than 3500 years, making it as if time was standing still throughout the millennia.
The settlement was uncovered by Greek archaeologist Spyros Marinatos in 1967. Since then, Akrotiri has been considered an ongoing excavation project. Next year will be the 50th anniversary since the excavation operation began in the area, and as far as archaeologists are concerned only 26% of the settlement has been uncovered.
The archaeological landmark has not received as much attention as Vergina or Mycenes, however, the buried settlement that is slowly coming to light through precision and patience, allows tourist to see how one of the first European civilizations used to live.
Christos Doumas, Emeritus Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology at Athens University and director of the excavations at Akrotiri since 1975, believes that a few days passed between the earthquake and the volcanic eruption. The archaeological finds show that after the earthquake some people return in order to start working on repairing the houses. Unfortunately, they all had to evacuate the area a second time as soon as the volcano erupted.
During the eruption there were strong winds from the west, thus transferring all the ash and fumes to the east of the island. Locals never had time to evacuate the whole island, and even if they did it is doubtful that they would have survived the wild seas.
A few days ago, Russian entrepreneur Eugene Kaspersky, founder of the digital security company Kaspersky organized a weekend so that journalists would be able to visit the prehistoric settlement of Akrotiri. Kaspersky loves history and archaeology and so he decided to become a financial sponsor, in order to help the excavations move forward amidst the financial crisis. He approached the Greek Archaeological Society and Professor Doumas and expressed his intention to contribute financially. "They trusted us, so the work has started again," he said.

Rain or Shine…It's Removal Time!
Seasons are a changing in the synthetic turf industry. Up until now, the focus has been primarily on new synthetic turf fields. Contractors in northern climates were reluctant to build new fields in the winter months… and for good reason! Contractors are at the mercy of Mother Nature and whatever stormy brew she might stir up over the winter. Once a natural grass field is stripped of turf, even the slightest rain or snow can cause a long delay as the soil takes exceptionally long to dry in the winter.
Now that synthetic turf replacements are becoming more common, winter weather may become less of a deterrent for construction. With the advantage of a firm gravel base, a drainage system, the latest adhesives and TRS removal equipment, contractors can now go full steam ahead through the winter months perhaps doubling the construction season. Synthetic turf contractors have long battled a very short construction window for the majority of their work – hemmed in by track season, which wraps up in May and the start of football in August. Now synthetic turf replacement projects can potentially double the construction season – opening up December to March while utilizing the same number of crews.
I can imagine what you're thinking… this sounds great but isn't the weather still a concern? For example, consider the saturated infill. A typical 85,000sf football field weighs 500,000 – 800,000lbs when it's dry. It's undoubtedly wet in the winter so add in another 15% water weight and now a contractor is paying to throw away another 115,000lbs of water... or do they?
At a recent project at Trinity High School in Louisville, Kentucky this December, the TRS team removed a saturated field in the driving rain with only a negligible difference in the amount of infill extracted. The turf contractor was reclaiming the infill for the new field. After cutting the field with the Viper, TRS used the Rattlesnake to extract the infill. We estimated that over 90% of the infill was extracted on one pass – not the 95% + we would typically see but still notably efficient.
We haven't attempted a removal in the snow yet, but we'd sure like to try! As I write this Mother Nature is bearing down on us with her latest brew of a rain-sleet-snow storm mix. The weather experts are dubbing it "Winter Storm Euclid" which sounds so much more passive than my ice covered car would imply.

As the Summer Las Vegas Market progresses, the evidence of how mass-market furnishings buyers are bringing more style to product becomes more evident, as in the case of Atlantic, Inc. which provided a first look at how it will position its Hello Kitty license. The initiative is part of a larger strategy the vendor has launched to distinguish its product line with color and styling, which includes the roll out of its proprietary Dar brand.
The company stated that its approach to Hello Kitty is primarily focused on young adults, essentially the Millennial market, so product styling will be colorful and juvenile compatible, but with a greater sophistication of design to make it suitable for a wider age range. In its Las Vegas World Market Center showroom, the company offered a range of prototypical tray tables to provide show participants an idea of how it plans to style it's Hello Kitty accent furniture line, which will include products such as stools and balloon chairs.
At the same time, the company expanded the recently established Dar line with Round Metal Folding Side Tray Tables as well as Metal Geothermic stools and side tables, and Metal Spiral stools, chairs and tables.
The show, at the Las Vegas World Market Center, concludes tomorrow.

Ticket to Ride Map Collection: Volume 5 – United Kingdom & Pennsylvania contains a double-sided game board with new rules for use with Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride: Europe with players now creating train lines in the British Isles and in Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania half of this map collection adds a share mechanism to the basic TtR game. Each time that a player completes a route, they claim a share of one of the companies depicted next to that route. At the end of the game, whoever holds more shares of a company than all other players receives points as a reward.
The United Kingdom half of this map collection introduces the concept of technology to TtR. At the start of the game, players can build only one- and two-train routes and only in England. By spending wild cards, players gain the ability to build routes three trains long or longer, in addition to being able to build ferries across water and build train routes in Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Players can also buy bonus cards that allow them to score extra points for taking certain actions during play. Despite the name, the map covers both the UK and the Republic of Ireland, that is, the islands of Great Britain and Ireland.
Although officially an expansion for Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride: Europe, this could be used for Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries. However use with Nordic Countries would be limited to three players and use of spare trains. The UK map requires 35 trains, the Pennsylvania map requires 45 trains, and Nordic Countries contains 40 of each colour (with 5 spare).
Attention: Not suitable for children under three years.

IEEE Standards University 'Mars Space Colony: A Game of Standardization' workshop

Seventeen young professional engineers attending the 2018 Young Professionals in Space conference, Barcelona, Spain, 17th – 21st July 2018 took part in the IEEE Standards University 'Mars Space Colony: A Game of Standardization' workshop. The purpose of the Mars Game is to educate engineers about what standards are, and how consensus can be reached in developing a standard, given conflicting individual goals. Participating in the Game also a lot of fun, and exposes attendees to techniques of consensus building that are a useful life skill applicable in group decision contexts.
The two teams eventually reached a consensus on their four standards development tasks, although they took very different routes to get there. One team argued with passion. The other was almost clinical. In neither case was it easy to reach a consensus because the individuals were briefed with roles to play that had conflicting goals. The team that argued with passion eventually discovered a procedural trick ("suspend the rules") to enable them to make decisions where it was hard to reach the stated 75% approval. The other team methodically debated and eliminated individual options until they reached 75% consensus.
Prizes were awarded from the IEEE Standards University: mugs for all, pennants for individual contribution, and backpacks for the chairs and (in the opinion of the Games Master) the coolest participant.
The game was facilitated by Dr. Adrian Stephens, former chair of IEEE 802.11 and IEEE Standards Association board member.

Noplace, Ecuador (GlossyNews) — A young Christian missionary, chomping at the bit and excited that a fresh field of new pygmy souls was ripe for harvest, was distressed to find that a National Geographic photographer paid tribe members less than eight dollars each for their souls not two months before his arrival.
With Bible in tow, Christian Missionary, Jonah Thompson, was found standing in the soulless remains of a pygmy tribe outside of Ecuador, watching what looked like normal tribe activity such as people coming and going, children playing and toothless old men smoking.
"Every time I try to approach one of these soulless creatures they put up their hand and shake their head," said a clearly frustrated Thompson. "I didn't understand it at first until the tribal leader showed me a stack of signed model release forms. At the bottom of each one was a clause labeled, "Soul Assignment," and it apparently transfers the rights they or anyone else has to their souls for the next 75 years. Whether I can sit here with nothing to do and listen to their terrible music for another 6 months is to be seen…"
About that time, the resident tribe musician began to plunk on a handmade instrument and sing in a horrific off-key tone, sending monkeys in trees a mile away scurrying for cover…

Melissa L. Gustin is 2018-2020 Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Henry Moore Foundation, working on a project titled "Reimagining Neoclassicism: Camp Reconsiderations of the Encountered Object." She completed her PhD at the University of York in July 2018 on American neoclassical sculpture and the impacts of the Roman visual environment, classical receptions, and critical theory. Her new project will be looking at European and American neoclassicism in the long nineteenth century, then and now. She can be found tweeting about her research, travel, conferences, and coffee @Hosmeriana.
This blog post's extremely visual title comes from Tim Barringer's keynote at Durham's Centre for Nineteenth Century Studies conference, "The Nineteenth-Century Archive as a Discourse of Power". Professor Barringer was speaking about Albertopolis, the complex that would become the South Kensington Museum and now the Victoria and Albert Museum, as an intellectual project designed to turn the working classes of London and the United Kingdom into productive aesthetic cogs in a machine of progress and capitalist productivity. Ruskin, we're told, hated the South Kensington system and all it stood for, and would perhaps have liked the metaphor.
The conference, organised by Dr Rachel Bryant Davies and Dr Erin Johnson-Williams, both at Durham, explored "the cultural imperative to inscribe and classify data…at the heart of the growth of archiving in the nineteenth-century world," and highlighted "the archive as a reflexive and mediated system of knowledge." Through an interdisciplinary group of scholars the conference dealt with potentially — and explicitly — sensitive subjects within both the historical archive and within contemporary scholarship. Delegates were also treated to object handling at the Oriental Museum, viewing objects deemed not suitable for display, whether that was because they were too dull — a tiny box of sand — or too objectionable or difficult to contextualise — such as figurines of people being tortured that were produced in colonised China for British audiences. It was highly effective to hear about the discussions with communities and experts from the museum staff, underscoring the contemporary sensitivities and issues that is still impacted by our nineteenth-century research subjects.
Rather than just listing all of the excellent papers and panels, I want to highlight some discussions I found especially productive for my own work as I begin digging into highly-sensitive subjects such as race, slavery, and sexual assault in art. While my subject, Mary Edmonia Lewis (1844-1907) was herself never an enslaved person, she was a Black-Ojibwe woman who was likely a victim of sexual assault, her work frequently dealt with enslaved persons as subjects, and her race was a major factor in her career. As a White woman, I am very aware that I possess blind spots caused by my privilege, my temporal and cultural differences, and the risk of inadvertently enacting prejudices and historical violences against not only Lewis but also contemporary people of colour. Dr Sadiah Qureshi's paper, "'The death of every old man brings with it the loss of knowledge never to be replaced': Re-purposing the Anthropological Archive," raised vital questions about the Western scholarly desire to spectate and spectacularize their subjects, even when that spectatorship involved images of people that had been obtained under duress.
Dr Qureshi's paper demonstrated that we absolutely do not need to reenact violence, othering, and spectacularization against our subjects, and that morally, we have a responsibility to consider the circumstances under which images and archives were formed. In my own work, this means I am actively considering why I have previously felt it necessary to show images of women artists, especially Lewis, when talking about work that has nothing to do with their physical appearance. Though Lewis was an active participant in the process by which her image was taken and distributed as a carte de visite unlike the subjects in Dr Qureshi's colonial archive, I am aware that by including images of her when I would not, by comparison, include images of male artists, has the effect of objectifying her. It suggests that her body should be analysed alongside her work, rather than emphasising her intellectual and artistic authority.
Dr Qureshi's paper was followed by Dr Deana Heath, speaking on "Sexual Violence and the Colonial Archive." This was equally relevant to my own work, as Lewis was likely the victim of sexual assault during her time at college. I openly admit to struggling over whether or not to include this within the discussion of her work, as often, it seems voyeuristic and perverse to speculate — at great historical and cultural distance — about the exact nature of her violent experiences. Dr Heath spoke about the sexual violence rendered visible or invisible in the colonial archive, and the responsibility of scholars in this area to our subjects. We must as scholars be conscious of the processes by which we 'give voice' to or make visible the traumatic or violent lived experiences of people in the archive. While recognizing, acknowledging, and studying these experiences is necessary to better understand the historical events and social conditions under which, in Dr Heath's paper, colonial subjects lived, we must be careful to avoid treating these pruriently. The lived experiences of others are not our torture-porn, and this reminded me to be extremely careful about not only the content but the tone of any discussions about sexual violence in the historical record.
But twasn't all doom and gloom, with a light note being struck by Dr Jennifer Ingleheart, telling us about curating the 'Story of Phi' at the Bodleian, which brought together books from the Bod's collection of books historically deemed inappropriate for general circulation due to their subject matter. These books, stamped with the symbol Phi, included Ovid's Ars Amatoria, Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray, Madonna's Sex and Monty Python's The Brand New Monty Python Bok (which has a bare bum on the cover). Dr Ingleheart explained the rationale behind the exhibition, as well as the complexities of putting on a free public exhibition of sensitive, often sexually explicit material in a space like the Bodleian. This mirrored quite nicely a paper from the first session by Thomas Couldridge (1st year PhD, Classics, Durham) on the controversy around J.W. Waterhouse's Hylas last year. On the one hand, the removal from show of a painting not generally viewed as obscene rapidly started a discussion about how we handle historical art in the present, while on the other, The Story of Phi made visible (behind some demure barriers) what had previously been less accessible.
So that's all a bit depressing for a Monday morning blog post, but these are among some of the hugely important questions raised by the two days of panels. To return to the sausage metaphor, if only to justify my use of the quote as a title — the conference was not only interested in how we as contemporary scholars handle our sensitive research subjects, but how the sausage got made in the first place, that is, how, what, and why material became archival. It also considered, particularly during the round table, how the emphasis on archival research has shifted in relation to access, focus, and costs at an early stage in doctoral research and how digitization increases virtual access to material but may eventually decrease access to originals as footfall decreases thanks to online availability — a Mobius sausage.
The Nineteenth-Century Archive as a Discourse of Power conference did not offer many definitive answers to the questions it raised but, in my view, that was no bad thing. Instead, what it did, and what hopefully future outcomes like a publication or continuing series of events will do, was start discussions about what the archive is, how we approach it as scholars, and how we are complicit, wittingly or no, in continuing the discourses of power that were established long ago. It was a privilege to be able to attend and participate thanks to a bursary from BAVS and the Royal Historical Society, and I very much look forward to seeing what future discussions come from this event.

Diversified Consultants, Inc.
Diversified Consultants, Inc. (DCI) is a third-party debt collector that specializes in the collection of wireless, cable, satellite, and utilities debt. DCI was founded in 1992 and is based in Jacksonville, Florida with a satellite office in Portland, Oregon.
Numerous allegations of debt collection harassment have been made against DCI. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a Government agency that is tasked with protecting consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices and is authorized to take action against companies that violate consumers' rights. The CFPB has received over 4,065 complaints against DCI.
Consumers allege that DCI has engaged in the following illegal debt collection practices:
- Attempting to collect a debt that is not owed by the consumer;
- Attempting to collect a debt that has been paid;
- Attempting to collect more than what is owed;
- Threatening to take legal action if payment is not made; and
- Refusing to validate or provide proof of a debt.
For example, the CFPB received a complaint from a consumer because DCI refused to provide proof of a debt. After being contacted by DCI, this consumer sent a letter disputing the debt and requesting validation of the debt. The Federal Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) allows consumers to request a creditor or debt collector to send proof of the debt. A consumer has thirty (30) days to dispute a debt and to request proof of the debt after being provided notice of the debt by the creditor or debt collector.
Although the consumer followed the procedures set forth in the FDCPA to obtain proof of the debt, DCI did not respond to the consumer's letter. The consumer then sent another letter with proof that the debt did not belong to the consumer. DCI still did not respond; however, DCI did report the debt to a credit bureau. After filing the complaint with the CFPB, DCI resolved this matter with the consumer.
Creditors and debt collectors should be held accountable for these unethical and unlawful practices. If you are being harassed or subjected to any of these, deceptive, or abusive debt collection practices, it is time to hold DCI accountable. Please contact our office for a free, no obligation consultation at 1-800-219-3577.

Mr. Scott Hormann is a staff member who has served this school in various ways for the past 10 years. Recently, Hormann decided that he would be leaving his position as a member of the security team at the conclusion of the 2017-2018 school year.
"I have my own business, Colorado Khaos, which is something that I have been doing for 10 years. I also started a broadcasting show that covers high school sports games all over the state. Working on both of these things has been very difficult in addition to my job here at Heritage, and so I have decided to commit to those full time. The decision to leave has been difficult, as I love the administration, teachers and kids here. It has been a huge part of my life, and getting to watch kids come in as freshmen with no identity and then leave as strong young men and women has been one of the best things to be a part of. I have made so many incredible relationships with students here, and leaving that will definitely be difficult to do," says Hormann.
Trevor Young '18 is a student who has formed a good relationship with Hormann during his time here, both as a student, and as an athlete under Hormann's position as a baseball coach.
"Coach Hormann has been someone who I have always loved seeing at school, and with him being my coach, I really had an opportunity to build a relationship with him. I think that he has always really connected with a lot of students, and it is really unfortunate that future students won't get to know him like so many of my classmates and I did," says Young.
Hormann's business has grown tremendously since he started it, and now that he is also adding a broadcasting show to his schedule, he is very busy outside of Heritage walls. His show will be on the Colorado Sports Prep AT&T Network for anyone hoping to hear live coverages of high school games.

Illesteva SUNGLASSES: 1920s SOUTHERN SWING
Milk Studios was swinging to jazz like it was the roaring 20s at Illestva's presentation on Sunday. With a full brass band driving models to dance while serenading the onlookers, Illevester debuted their new collection of sunglasses and umbrellas with a novel approach that kept everything jive. Their circular frames were an updated version of pure period, a look that was both futuristic and classic.
"The inspiration was a lot of 1920s New Orleans, a lot of black and white movies," name replied when asked about the collection. "You watch the black and white movies and you see designs that you could never really capture the color. We thought we'd add that to it, to where you could get that vibe of the classic, vintage kind of style and then add more vibrant colors and patterns."
Illevester has shown at Milk's MADE Fashion Week for the past two years, and they always find an interesting approach to their presentations. Even the bandleader was wearing sunglasses, and people kept filtering into the room with toe-tapping energy. If Billie Holliday were alive today, she'd be wearing Illesteva sunglasses.

Father Matt Williams, of St. Marys in Dedham, and Father Dave ODonnell, of Christ the King Parish in Brockton celebrate Mass with youth at the first New England Life Teen camp which was held in Charlton, Mass. Aug. 7-10. Photo by Tanya Connor/The Catholic Free Press
CHARLTON -- Local Catholics were among leaders and participants at the first New England Life Teen camp, which was held in the Worcester Diocese. Themed Discover the Sacred, the camp for high-schoolers was held at a new facility at Prindle Pond Conference Center Aug. 7-10. Elizabeth Cotrupi, coordinator of Life Teen at St. Joseph Parish, organized it with Sean and Patricia Flynn, of St. Mary Parish in Dedham. Sean Flynn is the New England area contact for Life Teen. Life Teen is an international youth ministry movement which also involves religious education, Cotrupi said. Cotrupi and Patricia Flynn said the camp was an optional part of Life Teen programs at St. Josephs and the Leicester parishes in the Worcester Diocese, St. Marys and other parishes in the Boston Archdiocese, and St. Andrew Parish in Colchester, Conn., in the Norwich Diocese. The camp drew 64 teenagers and 34 leaders, including Life Teen alumni and adult chaperones, the women said. Future New England Life Teen camps will be open to any high-schoolers, whether or not they live in New England or have Life Teen at their parish, Cotrupi said. Its been a dream of ours for awhile, Patricia Flynn said of holding a local Life Teen camp. My husband and I just felt New England needs something like this, deserves something like this. She said that a couple of youth from their parish had been counselors at the closest Life Teen camp in Georgia which was very expensive. The dream is to bring Life Teen programs together in a eucharistic-centered camp, the Flynns said, and Sean Flynn added, Mass and adoration is the center of every single day. Patricia Flynn and Cotrupi said other activities included praying the rosary, the Angelus and the Stations of the Cross; listening to talks, sharing in small groups, and participating in the team-building messy olympics and low ropes course. We have to keep our eye on what the real treasure is -- eternal life and relationship with God, Cotrupi said, explaining the camps theme. Leaders wanted to help youth discover sacred things like their own lives and journey, as well as adoration, confession, Mass, the rosary, and being with the community of believers, she indicated. Confession was always available, Flynn said. She said Father Matt Williams, of St. Marys in Dedham, and Father Dave ODonnell, of Christ the King Parish in Brockton, were there all week and Father Normand Tremblay, of St. Josephs in Charlton, and Father Jim Clark, of St. Monica Parish in Methuen, came to hear confessions. I have a great pastor who makes it possible for me to be here, so we can have a priestly presence at important camps like this, Father Williams said. Such camps are important because we must make young people a priority, he said. The Church must meet them at these crucial points in their lives to help them understand that Jesus loves them, the Church loves them -- God has a plan for their lives and that plan can only begin to flourish by a vibrant participation in the Church, as they understand they are members of his body and play an integral part in the mission of the Church, said Father Williams. It is so powerful for me as a priest to watch teens get excited for Jesus and his Church, to see their hearts explode with love for the Eucharist and to see their hearts poured out, healed and renewed in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, because its the sacraments where they truly encounter Christ and where I see miracles happen, he added.The retreat atmosphere builds faith, because faith comes by hearing, and when they hear the word of God and they see it lived by the camp counselors, it becomes contagious, said Father Williams.This week, its our time, our treasure, Sean Flynn told the youth in a wrap-up talk Aug. 10. Out there it was their time, and it didnt change out there. Here, lives were changed, he said. We cant be a Pentecost, locking the door. ... No youth minister can do the work you can do in your colleges, your homes. ... So take that Spirit back with you. ... Infect your youth group, your school, your home, so everyones, like, What went on at that camp? Look in the mirror, Father ODonnell urged the congregation in his homily at the closing Mass. First say to yourself, Im good. God created good stuff. God loves me. You start out with that positive affirmation. He urged them to stay honest with one another, remember that God has plans for their good, and fulfill their own mission. The congregation prayed for those who have given up hope or have fallen through the cracks, for the renewal of all family life, that clergy and religious would embrace Jesus invitation to give up everything, and that we can go home and be authentic witnesses.

Former Harlem star Reggie Reid has wasted little time in establishing himself as a key player for Florida Gulf Coast's basketball team.
The 5-foot-11 freshman, who was a three-time "Eric Marshall Award" winner as Columbia County Player of the Year, played only 14 minutes in FGCU's season opening 85-75 loss to Ohio University.
Despite his sparse minutes, he managed to knock down a three pointer and dish out five assists in his first collegiate game. That earned Reid a little more playing time in the Eagles' next contest, an 85-62 win over Texas Wesleyan. He played 21 minutes and handed out six assists without a single turnover.
Then came a matchup with Youngstown State that turned into a triple overtime thriller and was Reid's real coming-out party.
In the Eagles' 104-101 victory, Reid came off the bench and played 40 minutes. He netted 18 points dished out nine assists and had five steals, all career highs.
He also shot the ball well, going five of nine from the field (two of five from three-point range) and nailed six of eight free throw attempts.
That performance garnered praise from his head coach and a feature on the team's Web site for opening his college career with 20 assists and only three turnovers in his first three games. Most importantly, it landed him a spot in the Eagles' starting lineup for a matchup with North Dakota. Reid scored six points and had nine more assists in just 19 minutes in a 73-60 victory.
Florida Gulf Coast is now 3-1 and seems to have found a point guard to replace star Brett Comer. Comer graduated last year after starting a school record 134 games (of 137 played), scoring over 1,400 career points, dishing out 845 assists which is 24th on the NCAA all-time list. When you have to replace a starter it is tough, but to replace a player who started for four consecutive seasons and was the best player in school history- well, that is another thing all together. However, if the first four games of the Reggie Reid era are any indication, things in Dunk City are in good hands.
For the season Reid is averaging 6.8 points, 7.3 assists (versus 1.5 turnovers), and 1.8 steals. He is currently in the top 15 in the nation in assists per game despite playing over 21 minutes in only one game. He is also among the nation's best in assist-to-turnover ratio.

May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!
Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.
the only issue i have with warmode is that summoning people with it on/off is fucking retarded
This isn't Blizzards problem, or a Warmode problem. Its a player mentality problem.
If they penalized raid pvp, people will bitch, if they don't people will bitch.
How about you get into a raid do the same thing, I've found tons of enjoyment going Raid Against Raid, even situations were it felt like a battle, and we used strategies to overwhelm and catch the other raid off guard. Hell I've even just made 5-mans and PVP'd areas during zone attacks while doing the quest, and had...zero problems. So don't be afraid to group up with people and make friends. Its an MMO afterall.
Side note, i hardly see pvp raids anymore lol
10% extra rewards is 10% less time doing WQ in the long run. Good outweighs the bad
WPVP has never been balanced and the most memorable WPVP was always with raid groups beating on each other. Ion is just stupid in this regard.
No problem whatsoever with having multiple parties farming\ganking in the same quest areas. Makes sense, particularly in Invasion WQs.
What i had a BIG problem with was the lack of adequate guards at the major hubs on each area, but that was fixed recently. Thankfully. If you now get ganked on the major hubs like Terace of the Devoted or Vulpera Hideaway in Vol'dun, lvl 120+ guards keep popping up and can actually kill the players, which is great.
I would honestly say without any extra qualification that Ion Hozikostas is 95% of the problem with WoW in all forms. He doesn't listen, pushes bad game systems, doubles down on bad game systems, lawyer-soeaks player feedback, and generally doesn't respect the intelligence of his audience. Worse than that, the man has zero idea of what fun looks like.
Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. So study hard and be evil.
May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!
Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.
Of course not, he is just intentionally turning a blind eye to reality, like a lackey.
What players do is make a party of 5.......and join the other 10 parties of 5 players doing the killing in the same location.
Having the same results of forming a raid to complete the quest.
FPs are the easiest thing to camp and these "raids" he talks about are a symptom of that. "Oh hey, there's a FP that will see a constant flow of people but it's completely unguarded. Time to set up camp and get those easy kills before the opposite faction decides to actually fight back."
The biggest issue of that is, it's also one with the easiest solution that Blizzard is just blind to; Strong Faction NPC guards and penalties. Have the guards there on the FP that will instantly attack you if you kill someone within their range. Have those guards be extremely powerful, immune to CC and get out of combat abilities like Vanish / Feign Death, and also have them be able to detect stealth, breaking anyone out of it that ventures near them.
Additionally, have punishments in place for killing both the players in that area as well as the guards. 10% reduction in HP, healing taken, damage output per enemy killed coming off the FP. Could have the old dishonorable kill come back with a 30 sec - 1 min timer upon landing. If you're killed with that, the debuff activates and can't be removed easily; either having a fairly long CD or even on death removal. For the NPCs, cut the reduction debuff down to 5% instead.
Doing that will get people off the FPs and back out into the world, where roaming gangs will still exist, but will encounter people a lot less often.
spontaneous and unplanned process (at least from one side, since combat is not a "demand", but a free choice in a closed world, but when both parties know that the only rule of this world requires fight, it cancels freedom of choice, and therefore everything else about "wPvP") arising from banal clash of interests, curiosity (initiative here is completely left to player) and is carried out on rules of the world, where it happens (without seams, solid, taking into account world NPC's and area geography, professions/"silly" items and attracting passers-by, without choice toggles)... and now attention! WM isn't wPvP.
It has completely different rules, another organization. "Organized" clashes occurring in designated areas, planned by devs (in fact, this is BG, but not a war for resources or a temporary place of deployment), such as defending a castle/war(fight) for profit&gain&rewards documented by game isn't wPvP for exactly same reason, but conditional "caravans/travelers robbery/killing" is the things what you're talking about... but not the stuff you want.
When will you understand this? Don't interpret/perceive WM as wPvP, because it's not, never was and, judging lack of understanding among devs in this matter, will never be. PvP servers are wPvP, but not WM - it's just a fight territory with duplication of quests and world (which basically just for scenery) which designed to give you rewards for this activity, it doesn't ask about your choice, just comand/demand the war.
You don't need WM for wPvP, you don't need rewards for wPvP, you'll be disturbed by shards/mode-toggle/phasing/CRZ/(flying?) during wPvP, you need closed servers with rules that allow this wPvP to exist (just as important how world is organized, movement system within it, design of leveling up and quests, classes design and much much more). That's all! But now you are deprived of such, and no matter how much you whine about injustice of life, this won't change facts above.
If you want (guilds')war for hubs/castles - ask for them to be designed! If you want balanced groups within a specific territory, even with PvE stuff - ask about BG *point on AV* or some kind of $hitty Ashran! All that being required of you is not to ask wPvP from devs, but specific stuff, because they don't even clearly understand what you want from them! Do you know why? Because you yourself are the ones, who don't ...in the end, what you're asking for has taken place also in vanilla and BC, WotLK had a couple of such territories, but it was all "organized/documented and it was rewarded", which means again that it wasn't... what? pure wPvP! At least it was without shards/mode-toggle/phasing/CRZ disgrace *hush angrily*

__---=== PM me WHERE if I'm unnecessarily "notifying" you ===---__
i turned it off ages ago to not deal with organized ganking because there is nothing real that i could gain from it.
This has been happening since this game has PVP servers... It wasnt incentivized, now it is and that's good. DOING WHATEVER IN THIS GAME to keep me staying online, should be rewarded. TLDR: There is no problem, this is how it is, how it was, how maybe it's meant to be as well. Everything is fine PVE has stuff to do, PVP as well. That's all.
something" having mutually exclusive features.
Just think for yourself, you don't want pure wPvP, that's ok, but you want... something. There're even games, judging by the thread, which having this very thing, where it's implemented in such and such form, based on some basic requirements and signs. So ask for it. You obviously want this, so what's the matter?

Because it goes against the nature of it.
So how would a reward structure for world pvp work without turning the world upside down with raids killing innocent solo players?
to call a spade a spade. Understand what you want, find its "formed option", point your finger at that direction and say loud and confident: - I want this! - and then already you can explain in detail exactly what you mean by "this", like some private trivia in connection with mechanics of current particular game. This doesn't negate your original desire, only makes it more tangible.
involvement of many people, who don't consider process interesting/fun, which aren't sophisticated in this matter = with no experience&skill, and therefore will try to solve this question in easiest accessible way = mad herd, which no one (and especially Blizzard) able to control/impose their conditions, but devs themselves directed them here, so ironically)
So, the first were flights; the second - world organization (shards/auto-search&teleport/CRZ/phasing/scaling(PvP one ((i)lvl/templates), which judging by the forum still takes place in some form)); the third - characteristics (their absence for PvP, and hence demand for them, and therefore activity); the fourth - division began to pass through talents (defective class design, details in any topic about it) together with AA; also don't forget consequences of second factor in social part... and what have remained after this? - No PvP servers, just wolves and sheep game. Enjoy
just like GС at own time. Wow, much balance, such wPvP, 5vs5 is healthy, very surprising, so captain obvious. Well, yes, of course it's better, but it requires certain conditions for this' natural formation, isn't it? Still you aren't planning to recreate them, so why then this whole empty conversation? Well done devs, buried peoples' natural activity, maybe it's even for the better. People, who're interested in this, initiative, independent ones, who considered this process creative and fun and not "profitable", got a really good reason to finally leave the project. It remains only to stop sheep from being driven to wolves for slaughter, which then finally will starve to death and devs will sigh calmly.
