New Silver Knights GM has used forward thinking in his baseball career
NASHUA – Sometime in the early 1970s, a Youngstown, Ohio, teenager had read that baseball great Jimmy Piersall, after he hit his 100th home run, turned and ran backwards around the bases.
He thought it was fantastic, and always kept it in mind. A couple years later, after a stellar high school season at age 18, he decided that the first time he hit a homer in his summer league season, he would do just that.
That first summer league game came, and that night his father was in the stands, sitting in-between a Detroit Tigers scout and one from the Twins. The Tigers scout, named Cy Williams, told his father, "We're probably going to draft him in the seventh round as a third baseman."
This teen's first at-bat, he smashed the ball 400 feet, and true to his liking, he ran backwards.
The scouts closed their books, turned to the player's father, and said, "We've seen enough."
"I got home that night, and my dad's in the living room with the look on his face, and said, 'Do you know what you did? Do you know what you did?,'" new Nashua Silver Knights general manager Rick Muntean said. "I don't know if that sunk in or not."
Maybe not, but it may have been the night Muntean's life turned from a certain future as a player in professional baseball to one as a minor league front office executive. That year, he was named the Most Valuable Player as a pitcher and third baseman for the now-closed Woodrow Wilson High School in Youngstown, Ohio. And thus, instead of signing a minor league contract, he ended up getting a scholarship to play at Youngstown State, where one of his teammates, pitcher Dave Dravecky, went on to play in the Majors.
"Dave went home after the games," Muntean, now 61, said. "But Rick didn't. That was the different."
Muntean transferred to Ohio University, where he was able to focus on his studies. He majored in radio/television communications.
"I was going to be the voice of the Cleveland Indians," Muntean said with a grin.
Instead, he's now the face of the Nashua Silver Knights, which he hopes is the final spot in a career that has seen him live in a dozen different communities. Muntean, who took over for Ronnie Wallace in January, will enjoy his first opening night with the team in less than three weeks (June 1).
Rick Muntean first fell in love with baseball when he went with his brother and father to a game in Cleveland's old Municipal Stadium and saw Jose Askew hit a home run during a twi-night doubleheader.
"Took the train up, first time I saw the grass, and saw the field," Muntean said, adding that he saw Yankee Ralph Terry pitch and Mickey Mantle play.
"Ever since then it was, 'I want to play,'" he said.
Muntean simply fell in love with the game. When he was 11, he would go to school with weights in his shoes, because he had heard that Ty Cobb had done it to get faster.
He transferred to Ohio University because he wanted to get away from the nightlife and graduate, which he did. That summer, after he graduated, he went to Rochester, New York, to visit a friend and saw what minor league baseball was all about with the Orioles Triple A affiliate, the Rochester Red Wings.
"I had never seen minor league baseball," he said. "It was phenomenal. I had to do it."
A businessman from Youngstown, Woody Kern, and another friend he played summer ball with ran the San Jose Expos, and Muntean got his first baseball job there. The GM, Muntean said with a chuckle, "remembered the guy who ran the bases backwards and was a little afraid of me. But I went out there and worked my tail off."
He told the owner he'd "do anything to work in baseball. He took me literally. "The pay? A paltry $350 a month," he said.
Muntean was on the phone from 9 a.m.to 9 p.m. daily trying to sell tickets.
"It was an impossible task," he said. "They didn't know who we were."
A year later, in 1983, Muntean ended up running another minor league team Kern had purchased, the Wala Wala Blue Mountain Bears, a co-op team.
He was told to "go up there and stop the bleeding." Muntean found out the hard way during a farmers market that he and the players literally couldn't give the tickets away. An uphill climb for sure for a team that averaged just 200 people a game. It was an adventure, highlighted by the fact players, with the help of a vertically challenged coach, would break into the beer cooler late at night – until Muntean caught the 39-inch tall coach in the act.
Muntean found out that the minor league baseball business, especially 35 years ago, wouldn't be a pathway to a rich life. In fact, having to buy a car left him with hardly any money to eat.
Behind a boarding house where he lived in San Jose, he would go out and throw rocks at grapefruit hanging from a tree to get his daily food.
"I ate that every day for an entire month," Muntean said. "And to this day, I have never touched another."
The travels have been many. Muntean worked in Kinosha, Wisconsin, after San Jose and got a visit from a minor league official who told him, "If you like working in baseball, you might want to find out if you can do something else, because once it gets in your blood, it will never get out."
So, the impossible happened. He did something else – working as job recruiter in Kansas City, Missouri, for nearly two years, missing two baseball seasons.
But a call from an old friend, Bill Terlecky, changed everything.
Terlecky, now the general manager of the Futures League franchise in Lynn, Massachusetts, the North Shore Navigators (he's on leave battling an illness) brought Muntean back into the baseball fold in Scranton, Pennsylvania, for the Scranton-Wilkes Barre Red Barons, the Phillies' Triple A affiliate. Muntean was there for 17 years, the stories are too many to even mention.
While he was there, a lot of former Phillies were there for rehab – Darren Daulton, John Kruk, Curt Schilling – and some that came through the system were Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley. Even former Nashua Pride standout Glenn Murray was there for a brief stay during Muntean's time there.
The biggest thing Muntean learned there was, "That it's really, really, really difficult to sell a baseball team. They had two teams when minor league baseball died in the 1950s that died. Thirty years later, they built this brand-new ballpark that looked like a mini-Major League stadium."
And while he was at a function in Scranton, Muntean met a businessman who asked him what he did. When he told him he worked for the minor league team, the businessman said, "Start packing your bags, you've got three years and you're out of here."
Those were basically the same words that former Silver Knights president Tim Bawmann heard prior to the team's first season in 2011.
"It's tough," Muntean said. "But that team gave that whole area a shot in the arm. It kept bringing money in from the outlying areas."
"Here's the deal. There are so many reasons to say 'Ahhhh, there's a cloud in the sky. It's 90 degrees. The traffic is bad. The parking's a dollar.' There's so many reasons. To overcome, stay positive and sell my product is the thing I learned in Scranton. And I don't go anywhere without it," he added.
Muntean has certainly moved around in his baseball career. His favorite five years were with the independent Northern League's Kansas City T-Bones, where he succeeded in the wake of the popular Kansas City Royals. While there, he was named the Northern League's Executive of the Year, and the team was the league's Organization of The Year.
He left the T-Bones in 2009 for his first foray into the world of college wood bat summer ball, with a chance to become part owner of a franchise in St. Joseph, Missouri, the Mustangs. He arrived at a franchise that in his mind was poorly run and turned it into one that finished in the Top 10 in attendance nationally after one year, a goal he has for Nashua.
"We brought in The Chicken, we did fireworks, we took a place that was dead and brought it back to life," Muntean said.
"One of the things we did was we brought in a horse. The horse, after a home run, would run the warning track. … Everybody in town talked about it forever. I had to look at my partner and say, 'Just trust me.' And it worked like a charm," Muntean added.
Muntean thrives on the pressure. In independent ball – he went back to Ohio briefly in Lake Erie to run a Frontier League franchise – he says there was "daily pressure to get people through the gates." But with summer college ball, he said, "If you do a good job selling the signs, the promotions and stuff like that in advance, you can make it work. The weather isn't that bad of a factor."
While he was in Lake Erie, Terlecky again reached out to Muntean, knowing how he liked the college game, and told him about the position in the Futures League's expansion franchise in Bristol, Connecticut. So, for two seasons, he ran the Bristol Blues, the team averaged more than 1,500 fans a game and became a popular figure – and the Future League's 2015 Executive of the Year.
But a combination of ownership wanting to make changes and Muntean's daughter, Sarah, needing help to run what had become a very successful cleaning company in Kansas City while she was having a child, took him out of baseball for the second time.
But he missed it, even though he didn't want to admit it.
"It was alright, because I was with my grandson," he said. "You know what, I was going to try to transition out. But I never really put the effort into transitioning out. Then Terk called me and said, 'Hey, Nashua's open.'"
"You've got a veteran baseball guy who's been in every possible situation," Terlecky said. "The other thing is he's really personable, always well-liked by the fan base."
"With these teams, you're hands on. Scranton now has something like 50 people working there. When Rick and I were there, it was just 12. So, he has that experience," Terlecky added.
Indeed, Muntean has seen it all. While in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, running the Indians' AA franchise Bills in the mid-1980s, he witnessed the "Great Potato Caper" by then-backup catcher Dave Bresnahan. Long story short, Bresnahan tricked a baserunner into thinking he had thrown to third by throwing a potato instead into left field. The runner on third heads home and is tagged out because Bresnahan had the actual ball. The leftfielder comes in with three pieces of a potato in his glove, and the call was reversed.
"We sent it to Cooperstown the next day," Muntean said.
Bresnahan was released that night, fans were irate, but Muntean knew how to turn a negative into a positive, bringing him back the next year to retire his number. Fans could get in for a dollar with a potato.
"It was the biggest crowd we ever had," Muntean said, adding that media such as ESPN, the New York Times, and even from Japan attended the Memorial Day, 1988 event. "It was unbelievable. Dave and I still stay in touch."
"I'm more of a singles hitter," Terlecky said with a chuckle. "With Rick, he can go pretty wild with the promotion thing."
Muntean knows that with two franchises in close proximity – the Double A Fisher Cats in Manchester and the Single A Spinners in Lowell, Massachusetts – that promotions and visibility will be the key to keeping the Silver Knights' success going.
"This franchise is in excellent shape," he said. "Spectacular tools in Nashua, one, Holman Stadium. And a large market, with a lot of businesses here. And I want to talk to each and every one of them."
His philosophy? Treat the fans "like gold" and use them to sell the product.
"Give them the second sentence," he said. "Such as, 'I went to the Silver Knights game last night. And … they had a horse run on the field. And … they had the best fireworks show.' Give them some reason to go home and talk about it."
Maybe they may even talk about a player running the bases backward. To this day, Muntean still looks back at that big move that turned off the scouts in the stands.
"How many times, I can't tell you," Muntean said. "Maybe thousands."
But, thanks to that decision, inadvertently a general manager was born, one who wants to make the Silver Knights his signature job.
"This is it," he said. "I don't ever want to move again."
That would be going backward, and Muntean did that once already.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee is expected to sign a supplemental state transportation budget tomorrow that includes what may well be the first ever mention of light pollution to make it into state code. The transportation budget may seem an odd place for such policy matters to be considered, but state Rep. Jessyn Farrell (D-Seattle) found an opportunity there.
"The Department of Transportation, which has jurisdiction over a lot of facilities with a lot of light across the state, has some federal dollars to do a study on the impacts of light to night driving and vision," Farrell told Seattle Astronomy. "I thought as long as they're looking at the impacts of light on vision, why don't we also look at the impacts on light pollution?"
Farrell had that directive inserted into the budget as a proviso—see our story from Tuesday for the exact language—and the governor has told her he will sign it.
(UPDATE: Gov. Inslee did, in fact, sign the bill, including the light-pollution language, on March 25, 2016.)
"A huge thank-you to Gov. Inslee," Farrell said. "He is, as we all know, a great environmentalist. He cares a lot about the night sky and said that specifically when we spoke about this proviso. I'm very pleased that he's going to sign the supplemental budget with this proviso in it."
"I care about a visible night sky, so this is important," she said.
As a proviso in the supplemental budget, it will only be in effect for about a year. Farrell said she plans to work next year on getting the department to make an on-going commitment to considering light pollution in its planning and operations. She said it might not even take legislation, but that the department could be convinced to make such considerations of its own accord.
"It seems like a straight-forward thing, and I'm surprised they don't already have policies around light pollution," she said, "but my hope is that ultimately this will allow them to start making different decisions around how they light their road facilities across the state."
Farrell sponsored a bill this year to have the state Department of Ecology do a comprehensive study of the effects of light pollution and to make policy recommendations for reducing it. While the bill received a hearing, it did not win approval from the House Environment Committee. Farrell said cost was the main hangup. The legislature has been ruled in contempt of court over education funding, and is still in special session trying to wrap up the operating budget, which is under a great deal of strain.
"There was a great concern in doing anything that was perceived as extra in the general operating budget this session," she said. She saw the DOT funding as a way to make some progress without making it a budget issue.
Farrell said she has long been interested in the night sky, and remembers not having to go very far to see things like the Perseid meteor shower.
"It is really a lot harder to see even really visible events like that, and I think that what's interesting about light pollution is that its really something that we can address," she said. She credited the amateur astronomy community for stepping up, noting that it was a constituent, David Dorais, who raised the issue at a community forum and spurred her to action.
"A lot of people care about this issue, so to be present at community forums and raise it and help educate the public that there are things that can be done, I think that's really important," Farrell said. "As we work through the various political processes at the different levels of government, having you present really matters."
"This is only a first step," she said. "There's so much work that we can continue to do and I look forward to working with you."

The Assessing Officer may levy a penalty of a sum of Rs 10,000 to a person holding multiple PAN cards.
Last year, Sunil Kumar from Delhi had a bad credit history and was unable to get a home loan from banks he applied to. He decided to apply for another PAN card consulting his friend with the objective of creating a dual identity for himself. He did this fraudulent and illegal exercise intentionally to erase bad credit history and apply for home loan. There are lakhs of people across India like Sunil Kumar doing this fraudulent exercise and cases are registered against them.
Intentionally or unintentionally many end up with multiple PAN cards
Anubhav Jain, Co-Founder and Head of Risk, Qbera.com said, "Often people intentionally apply for more than one PAN card for the purpose of reducing their tax burden by splitting up their income and assets. Others do it to enter into financial transactions based on fraudulent documents as they have mala fide intentions." People do this in the hope that a new PAN card will give them a clean chit on their past bad repayment behaviour with respect to loans or credit card debt.
Unintentionally, many end up with multiple PAN cards because they are unaware that doing so is illegal. Anubhav Jain shared a couple of instances, "When someone loses their card, they apply for a fresh one instead of requesting a duplicate. Often, women change their maiden names after marriage, here they apply for a new PAN card whereas they should be requesting for an update in information on their original card itself."
Shalini Jain, Tax Partner, EY India added, "Other examples could be NRIs coming to India for work and apply for a PAN. When they revisit India again after say few years, unintentionally, they may end up applying of PAN again."
Application for multiple PAN cards should be discouraged
The PAN application process typically requires one to enter some of the basic details like name, mobile number, date of birth, address, father's name, etc. Unfortunately, any of this information can be manipulated quite easily to create a new identity and thus apply for multiple PAN cards. "However, with the mandatory linking of one's Aadhaar and PAN card numbers, identifying such cases has become much easier for the government, thereby discouraging such illegal activity," said Anubhav Jain.
Consequences of holding multiple PAN cards with different numbers
Shalini Jain pointed out, "As per Section 139A of Income Tax Act, 1961 a person can hold only one PAN." As per Section 272B, the Assessing Officer may levy a penalty of a sum of Rs 10,000 to a person who fails to comply with the provision of Section 139A which would include holding multiple PAN cards.
Prior to levying the penalty, the Assessing Officer will provide a hearing to the individual. Shalini Jain said, "If the individual can explain to the Assessing Officer that multiple PAN was acquired unintentionally, it is possible the penalty of Rs 10,000 is not levied on the individual."
Methods to surrender / cancel additional PAN cards
Surrendering and cancelling additional PAN cards has been made quite simple today. It is possible using both online and offline process.
- Online process
One needs to visit the NSDL website and submit the 'PAN Change Request' application form. Anubhav Jain explained, "You need to mention the single PAN card that you intend to keep using and cancel all the rest. The additional PAN numbers that you choose to surrender have to be mentioned in item no.11 along with the corresponding PAN card copies."
- Offline process
If you aren't very comfortable with the online route, you can also surrender your additional PAN cards offline by filling up form 49A available on NSDL website to download and print. Fill up this form with the necessary details of the PAN cards to be cancelled and submit it at your nearest UTI or NSDL TIN facilitation centre.
Do remember to take an acknowledgement of the same. You will need to follow this up with a letter to the Assessing Officer in your jurisdiction. Anubhav Jain said, "This letter must contain the details of the PAN card to be retained and those of the ones that need to be cancelled, along with duplicate copies as well as the acknowledgement from UTI or NSDL TIN."
Merely following the online or offline process for PAN card cancellation does not ensure that the PAN will be cancelled. Shalini Jain clarified, "The individual may have to visit his/ her jurisdictional Assessing Officer to convince that the additional PAN was inadvertently acquired."

Purpose: As ocean transportation instrument, the ocean vessel has an important role in improving the growth of economic rate, particularly naval economic business. The high cost of ocean vessel make businessmen difficult to acquire business capital, so they propose the application of credit and ocean vessel is made into mortgage. Although Indonesia is party in International Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages 1993, there is not any specific regulation arranging the execution of ocean vessel registered in Indonesia up to now. International Civil Law considers efforts to settle the issues must be started up by contract and agreement in advance. Based on the description, it is necessary to analyse to which extent International Civil Law might settle issues on the execution of ocean vessel and to which extent a court must pay attention and recognize foreign legal verdicts or rights emerged based on Foreign Court Verdicts or laws.
Methodology: This study uses a normative juridical approach, the study of which refers to legal norms contained in the legislation, court decisions and legal norms that exist in society. The research specifications used are descriptive analytics. The sources of legal materials used are primary and secondary data and data collection techniques carried out by means of library research, interviews and observations. Meanwhile, the data analysis technique in this paper uses qualitative analysis.
Main Findings: An international agreement or agreement must contain a legal choice that will be used later because it will be a very complex problem if it is not determined from the beginning of the law which will be used if a dispute occurs. Ships that can be secured by mortgages are registered ships and ships weighing more than 20m3. In carrying out ship executions even though Indonesia has ratified the 1993 International Convention on Liens and Mortgage, the provisions for the execution of ships in Indonesia still refer to the provisions contained in Article 224 HIR or RIB and Article 258 Rbg.
Implications/Applications: This study will be helpful for practitioners and law-making authorities in formulating different policies and amendments in existing international law on the implementation of the sea ship execution related to bad credit.

Residents of the Second Life community recently announced their intentions to host the first annual Second Life Community Convention. Completely organized by users, the event will include various demos, discussions, and presentations concerning Second Life and The Metaverse.
Some of the panels include presentations by Philip Rosedale, CEO of Linden Labs, Mark Wallace, reporter for the NY Times, and various well-known Second Life residents, including Anshe Chung, Fizik Baskerville, and Nephilaine Protagonist.
The event will also allow for players not able to physically be in the area to attend as well:
A unique aspect of the SLCC will be the ability for Residents to participate in the event regardless of their location. This is facilitated by the live, mixed-reality simulcast from New York Law School into a virtual recreation of the convention in Second Life.

Slashdot recently posted Blizzard's answers to questions posed by readers of Slashdot about the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft. The questions cover a wide range, even touching on Blizzard's commitment to supporting the Mac platform.
Question-Blizzard is one of the few companies that distribues Windows and Mac games together on the same media. Going further, WoW allows Windows and Mac users to play together on the same realms, something which isn't done in other MMORPGS. What kind of hurdles did you have to overcome to get both Windows and Mac versions to co-exist and have you had to make any sacrifices because you were only able to do something on one platfrom and not both?Response -There was never any question that World of Warcraft would be co-developed for Windows and Mac users. Blizzard has always supported the Mac platform; you'll notice that even as far back as Warcraft II and Diablo we were there supporting Apple. However, with World of Warcraft, we wanted to improve that relationship further and shoot for a simultaneous release on both platforms. All of us are thrilled that we succeeded in that respect, and we're sure Mac users are happy as well. Both games are equal in every respect; there weren't any features in one version that didn't make it into the other.

Blizzard announced yesterday that multi-platinum recording artists The Offspring will headline the closing-night concert at the company's upcoming BlizzCon inaugural game festival. With over 32 million records sold and seven albums, The Offspring are one of the most prolific and successful rock bands in the world. Blizzard's president and cofounder, Mike Morhaime, said he was happy to have the band as part of BlizzCon.
"BlizzCon will be an epic celebration of gaming culture, so we wanted to book a truly epic band for this event," said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.

George Lucas, the acclaimed film director and founder of LucasArts, was named by the Entertainment Software Association as the recipient for this year's Champion Award for his services and contributions to the industry. The award will be presented to Lucas during the Nite to Unite Kids charity in October.
Though George Lucas has long been recognized for his tremendous contributions to the world of film, he has also been a leader in the video game business, creating amazing game experiences for players around the globe through one of the industrys most successful companies," said Douglas Lowenstein, president of the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the trade association representing U.S. computer and video game publishers. "Our industry and its consumers have benefited greatly from Mr. Lucas work over the years, and we are proud to recognize him as this years Champion honoree.
Gamasutra has posted an extensive college paper regarding the popular America's Army game. The paper covers a wide range of topics from America's Army as a first person shooter to saving "billions" in military marketing and even Digital l33t skillz f0r the U$ @RmY. In addition, the paper anaylyzes the beginnings of the game, America's Army as an experimental tool, propaganda and much more.
America's Army is a logical outcome of the expanding military-entertainment complex and signals the successful linking of entertainment and defence. The U.S. army is just one of many institutions using games to promote its services. However, unlike many other companies thus far, the Army can claim that it has been very successful at it. Why it became such a success is only part of the question, but its implications are equally important.
1up recently posted a preview of Stubbs the Zombie, developed by Wideload Games. Stubbs, created by a few ex-Bungie employees, puts players in control of a zombie horde, with the sole purpose of consuming flesh. From the 1up interview:
Co-op is set up in a simple fashion. One player takes control of Stubbs, while the other controls Grubbs -- a palette-swapped fellow who looks an awful lot like the star of the game. Both characters share the same attacks and controls, only really differing in their names and visual appearance. Utilizing the two, players will jump into a split-screen format and take on levels from Stubbs' single-player game.

Ralph Montalvo had shown tremendous promise as a plebe with the Navy football team, rising from the scout team to third string late in the season. Now the freshman quarterback is fighting for his life in a Miami hospital after being involved in a serious automobile accident on Thanksgiving night.
Montalvo remains in a medically-induced coma in the intensive care unit at Kendall Regional Medical Center and there is no timetable for when doctors will bring him out of it.
Montalvo was the passenger in a single-vehicle accident and suffered a severe head injury. Dr. Jeff Fair, the Navy football team trainer, has received medical reports on Montalvo's condition and said the youngster did not sustain any other major injuries.
Fair said Montalvo ran a temperature on Sunday and doctors were worried about an infection, but none was found. Fair said the pressure on Montalvo's brain increased on Monday and that was also a concern.
"I think they're still pretty guarded," Fair said when asked the assessment of attending physicians. "They don't know how long they're going to have to keep this induced. He's going to be in the hospital for quite a while, I know that."
Head coach Ken Niumatalolo told equipment manager Greg Morgenthaler to send Montalvo's jersey for the Army-Navy game to Kendall Regional Medical Center and was hopeful it arrived late Monday.
"The doctors are doing the best they can. There's nothing anyone else can do," Niumatalolo said Monday as Navy resumed practice in preparation for its Dec. 8 matchup with archrival Army. "We're all praying for him. It's just a tough deal. You hope that he recovers quickly."
Niumatalolo found out about the accident on Friday morning and flew to Miami on Saturday to visit Montalvo in the hospital and comfort the player's family. Niumatalolo was told that Montalvo has a long road to recovery and there will likely be ups and downs.
"When I went on Saturday he was doing well. He took a slight turn (for the worse) today and didn't do as well,'' Niumatalolo said.
Several Navy football players that live in the Fort Lauderdale-Miami area, including linebacker Vinnie Mauro, nose guard Travis Bridges, defensive end Danny Ring and slotback Ryan Williams-Jenkins, made the trek to Kendall Regional Medical Center over the weekend.
"I've been impressed by our players that went to visit. It was a cool thing to see the brotherhood in action, guys taking time out of their Thanksgiving break to drive down there to see him," Niumatalolo said.
Montalvo, who goes by the nickname Rafi, is a 2011 graduate of Miami's La Salle High, where he lettered in football, track and field and lacrosse. The 6-foot, 195-pounder earned honorable mention All-State honors in football and was selected as team Most Valuable Player as a senior.
Montalvo, whose father - also named Ralph - played football at the University of Miami, spent the 2011-2012 academic year at the Naval Academy Prep School.
Montalvo spent most of this season on the scout team, but was elevated to third string when sophomore John Hendrick got injured. Hendrick has since returned to practice and been reinstated to the depth chart, but Montalvo was scheduled to travel and dress for the Army-Navy game.
"Rafi was doing some good things and we were excited about him," Niumatalolo said. "He's just a great kid. I sent him over to scout team last week, but they had enough quarterbacks. So he offered to play wide-out, said he would do whatever we asked. That's the kind of young man he is."
Navy offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper directly coaches the quarterbacks and said Montalvo has a lot of ability. Jasper, who always drew a laugh from the youngster by calling him by his given name Jose, said Montalvo "always has a smile on his face."
"He's just been a pleasure to have. He's a hard worker, comes from a great family and a strong high school program. He was making strides - learning and doing some good things," Jasper said. "It's tough. It's unfortunate. We're struggling here. He's such a great kid. You hate to see something like that happen to good people. Everything happens for a reason. The good Lord has a plan for him. He's going to pull through."
Niumatalolo was told by family members that Montalvo and a friend were going to a nearby McDonald's to get something to eat. They were in a neighborhood that was not well lit and it was also foggy that night. Police believe the driver made a wrong turn and thought he was on the main thoroughfare when in fact he was on a dead-end road. The single-vehicle accident was the result of hitting a house at the end of that street.
Starting quarterback Keenan Reynolds said he received a phone call from Jasper on Friday informing him about Montalvo and said the news "just broke my heart." The two freshmen were stretch partners for games and routinely walked to team meetings together.
"It's tragic. Rafi is a hard worker and a great guy. I didn't know him long, but I can tell you he was a good guy to be around," Reynolds said. "I just feel for Rafi and his family. My prayers go out to them. We're all thinking about him daily."
Reynolds said the reaction among players was one of shock and disbelief, along with the realization that such an unfortunate accident could happen to anyone at any time.
"It's definitely a shock, but we realize that's life. Things happen in life that you can't control, you can't see coming," Reynolds said. "You have to be thankful for all the good things we have here, to be able to attend the Naval Academy and play football because it can be taken away in a heartbeat."
Reynolds said the Navy football players held a prayer vigil for Montalvo upon return to the academy on Sunday. He said team leaders told everyone to stick together and keep Montalvo in their thoughts and prayers.
"We're out here working hard and grinding, but we think about Rafi and how he would love to be out here with us," he said. "It has brought us closer as a team. We're going to grow and get better because of this."

Welcome to Part One of Palestinian Gandhi on Trial, THR's special series exploring the life, work, and ongoing legal predicament of Palestinian activist, Issa Amro. Issa has been called the Gandhi of Palestine for his work to promote and organize strategic non-violence among Palestinians and Israelis.
Issa has also been identified increasingly over the years as a targeted activist, as he is frequently detained, arrested, and harassed for his work in the occupied territories.
As of the recording of this episode in September 2019, Issa is facing trial before an Israeli military court and simultaneously before a Palestinian Authority court for his activities as a non-violent activist. We will discuss the cases at length in this series, but first:
This episode, Part One, explores the context necessary to understand Issa's case, namely, the context of the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank. Beginning at absolute square one, this episode seeks to paint a picture for you of what the occupation is, how it works, and its daily impacts on those living within the West Bank. We invite you to follow along in our visual guide below.
The Occupation of the West Bank -- A Visual Guide
Traveling in the West Bank, you will see numerous watchtowers, a constant reminder that Palestinians are under military occupation and that they are under constant surveillance.
You will see watchtowers as you are traveling from town to town…
You will see watchtowers overlooking refugee camps…
You will see watchtowers overlooking the countryside…
In the city of Hebron, you will see watchtowers built on top of people's houses…
You will see watchtowers in the middle of pedestrian zones…
(We will discuss the graffiti on this watchtower in Part Two…)
Traveling around in the West Bank, you will frequently encounter military checkpoints where you must stop, present your papers, and sometimes face questioning about where you are going and why.
You may pass through a checkpoint like this one at Beit Jala when you are traveling between the West Bank and Israel…
Or you may pass through this checkpoint, which divides Bethlehem from Jerusalem…
If you are a passenger in a car, you may be told to get out and cross the checkpoint on foot…
You can spend hours waiting at a checkpoint, waiting in the cages…
You will also come upon checkpoints as you are traveling from town to town within the West Bank…
In the city of Hebron, which features heavily in this podcast series, you will find checkpoints within a city…
The schoolchildren of Hebron must pass through checkpoints daily on their way to and from school. A checkpoint in Hebron could take many forms. It could simply be a metal detector attached to a gate that only opens when military vehicles need to pass. On some days, there are soldiers monitoring this checkpoints. On other days, there are no soldiers in sight.
In the photo below, you can see a soldier in the upper right corner, standing on the rooftop with a camera affixed permanently to conduct surveillance. It is important to note that Hebron is not a war zone, and is not an official training area of the Israeli army, although it can look and feel that way.
In the West Bank, as part of the military occupation, you will encounter soldiers on a daily basis. You will see them manning official permanent checkpoints. You may also come upon what is called a "flying checkpoint"…
In rural parts of the West Bank, which are designated as "Area C," soldiers often appear while people are farming their land, or grazing their sheep. We will discuss Area C further in this series, but for now you can note that Area C makes up over 60% of the West Bank and is where the Israeli military exercises control over both military and civilian affairs.
Also in Area C, groups of Israelis from a group called Ta'ayush ("together") appear on a weekly basis to accompany and assist Palestinian farmers in their daily work in order to protect them from settlers and soldiers. In the photo below, Israeli activists can be seen following behind a Palestinian farmer who is plowing his land
When soldiers appear to order that the farmer stop plowing, the activists intervene and videotape the interaction.
When the soldiers bring the farmer back to their army jeep, the activists follow as well.
In the end, the soldiers leave the farmer to plow his land. This is a very typical interaction in the rural areas of the West Bank.
In the city of Hebron, which features heavily in this series, soldiers can be seen walking the streets on a daily basis.
The presence of soldiers makes Hebron look like a war zone, but it is not a war zone.
We will discuss Hebron more in depth in Part Two of of this series.
You may have heard the term "closure" in relation to the occupation and not known quite what this meant. A closure can be many things.
Here, a group of Israeli activists from the group Ta'ayush clear a number of boulders that have been placed across a road in a rural area of the West Bank called the South Hebron Hills. These boulders, which are put in place to prevent Palestinians from driving along the roads, form one type of closure, or "movement barrier."
The city of Hebron is full of closures. Some have been in place for years…
You will also see, in Hebron, closures made out of piles of razor wire. It may appear easy enough to remove such a closure, but remember that this is an area under severe military lockdown with thousands of soldiers present, so you would not.
In Hebron, you will see many closures like this one, which block people from accessing the city's main road, Shohada Street.
You will see closures like this one, also along Shohada Street.
You will also see this barrier, or a barrier like this, lining Shohada Street itself, as Palestinians are only allowed to walk on parts of the street and are not allowed to drive along it. Barriers such as this are constantly moving and changing.
As we will discuss more in the next episode, closures can block access to entire neighborhoods, forcing residents to move out. A closure can also refer to a business, a home, or even a school has been forcibly shut down by the soldiers.
Below are a few photos from a morning when soldiers entered a boy's school in Hebron.
The soldiers later returned and closed the school for the day.
In this Episode...

Issa Amro
Issa Amro is a lead non-violence activist who lives and works in the city of Hebron, Palestine. Issa has championed non-violent struggle since the Second Intifada when he found his university shuttered by the occupying Israeli military. This closure prompted Issa to organize his fellow students, as well as like-minded Israelis, until the university was reopened and the students were able to return to school.
Issa has been named a top human rights defender by more organizations than we can count. He has organized his local community for the past fifteen years, and has spoken all over the world about the importance of non-violent struggle and about non-violent tactics. You can find him on Twitter where his handle is @Issaamro.

There are many men who feel shy or scared when they want to ask out a girl. The truth is there's some good reason why a guy should be skeptical about asking out a girl. Rejection can hurt your self esteem and ego. It can be frustrating, embarrassing and unbearable if you don't do it right. Therefore, you need to know how to ask out a girl.
At times, a guy doesn't ask out a girl even when he knows her for a long time. He's scared about getting rejected or humiliated. Moreover, if you've been facing rejection for quite some time, you might want to give up. In this post, we have discussed 5 simple tips that can help you ask a girl out without the fear of getting rejected.
1) Don't Be Too Direct
There are times when the whole dating game seems very difficult and crazy. Therefore, you need to have a better understanding of basic things. This will help you put the right foot forward. In most cases, a guy asks a girl with questions. Thus, the woman has a good chance to reject the offer. You should never ask any questions. Instead, you should make suggestions about going out.
2) Give Advice or Instructions
Most guys ask a woman if she wants to go out. As mentioned above, it can give her a chance to reject the offer. The girl might give an excuse or manipulate the situation. You should always use some subtle suggestions, such as "Let's go out for coffee sometime" or "There's a good movie coming up tomorrow. Let's catch the first show".
3) Try to Know Her Better
A lot of guys wonder how to talk to girls. In order to succeed, it's important to say the right things. You should make her feel special. A guy needs to show that he cares about the girl. Before you understand how to ask out a girl, it's important to know everything about her, including her desires, preferences and personality. However, you should never stalk her. Just maintain some distance, and gather more information about her.
4) Be Spontaneous and Original
Most girls don't like cheesy pickup lines. Thus, you shouldn't focus on lines from popular movies, songs or television shows. You should be spontaneous, and come up with original lines. A girl also wants her guy to be humorous. When you don't want a girl to hurt your self esteem, you need to make her laugh. Your jokes should be subtle, and you should never cross a line.
5) Seek Advice from Professionals
Last but not the least, when you wonder how to ask out a girl, you need to seek advice from professionals. There are many dating websites where you can talk to dating gurus and relationship experts. Before you choose a dating website, you should check some forums and go through customer reviews to know more about the website.
Asking out a girl doesn't have to be a difficult task. You just need to make some sincere efforts to make her fall for you. If you take the right steps, you won't face rejection. However, if a girl doesn't seem interested, you should take a step back.

Lash extensions give the appearance of having mascara on without the messy clumps and smudging of makeup. Generally, a single lash is applied to each natural lash. When applied properly, neither the eyelash extension nor the glue should touch the eyelid because it may cause irritation. This was designed to last until the lashes naturally fall out, which is usually around 2–3 weeks. After those 2-3 weeks, new lash growth will need to be bonded, making lash extensions a biweekly service if one wishes to maintain the full look.

I just adore this family! You might recognize mom and dad from the birth I captured earlier this year. Sweet Isla is now quite a bit bigger and no longer a tiny newborn but is growing so much into the sweetest little lady ever. My kids were on location at their session and helped me capture sweet smiles on baby Isla. Momma is also a friend of mine and a fellow photographer of Rachel V Photography, we had our own photos done in the Orange Grove as well which I look forward to sharing with you soon!

Here's the first Lucasfilms stamp of approved trailer for the Phantom Menace rerelease.. in 3d!
You know what, I don't think I want to talk about how awful this is. There's just so much to hate.. the idea that Lucas honestly believe you should see Episodes I-III before you watch IV-VI is just sooo argh!
See I told you I didn't want to talk about this.
The plan here is that Lucas is going to rerelease each movie, in 3-d, about a year apart from each other. Which if my math doesn't fail me, means my son will be 5 years old when the good trilogy hits theaters. That leaves me in quite a pickle. Nothing and I mean nothing would make me happier than seeing these movies in the theater with my son. The problem is they won't really be the movies I love anymore. They'll be in glorious Han shot first 3d! I don't even want to think about it..
This is why parenting is so hard. Maybe Logan will really like Star Trek.

The 2017 Chevy Volt Is At the Top of Its Game!
After the Toyota Prius burst onto the modern automotive landscape almost twenty years ago, it was only a matter of time before more makers stepped up to continue to develop the burgeoning potential of hybrid and electric vehicles. Today, of course, the market is wider than ever, and while the familiar names continue to hold down their own territory in the field, it's an increasing fact that the young alternatives have got more to offer than just mere imitation. By taking the best of a century's-worth of experience and combining it with plenty of forward-thinking effort developing the best of modern technology in innovative ways, Chevrolet now stands among the best and brightest in the expanding roster of modern electric vehicle manufacturers.
Emerging relatively early in the game, the first Chevy Volt made its U.S. debut for the 2011 model year. In the time since, the Volt has managed to stack up more than the usual share of accolades, receiving distinction as 2011's North American Car of the Year and World Green Car, the 2012's European Car of the Year, and now, in a repeat of another one of its 2011 wins, as the 2016 Green Car of the Year as well. With more than a little evidence to show that it isn't just another carbon copy, we're sure that the newest Chevy Volt is worth a good, long look!
As a plug-in hybrid, the Volt uses its store of battery power exclusively until the charge drains enough to require intervention from the traditional combustion engine. With a full charge, the Volt will carry its passengers 53 miles before making the switch, a total that's more than up to snuff with the traditional competition. With the gas engine still pumping out 48 miles per gallon, you can be sure that the Volt has got capability where it counts on both sides of the hybrid fence.
As Chevy's hybrid has been around long enough now that reports are starting to come in from people who have personally experienced the difference between the Volt and direct competition like the Prius, it's more than gratifying to see that many who have made the switch to the Volt are beaming with compliments. With the most up-to-date accommodations in Chevy's inventory on board, as well as a cheaper bottom line when it comes to charging and utilizing the all-electric driving mode, the Volt has got more than what it needs to stand up to the competition. As it earns the highest possible hybrid vehicle tax credit with $7,500 back, the Volt also knows how to compete price-wise.
The best Chevy Volt yet has just arrived for 2017, too, so there's never been a better time to get to know one. Considering the many ways in which the Volt has demonstrated its competitive edge, it seems as though there's no good reason not to consider it when looking for the best that hybrid-electric technology has to offer to drivers these days. If you're curious about everything you've got to gain from a new Chevy hybrid, we'll be more than pleased to take you on a personal tour any time, right here at Apple Chevy!

We look forward to releasing the game across PAL territories tomorrow.â€
A young mercenary name Layle, a crystal bearer, has been hired to escort the new passenger airship Alexis, the pinnacle of Lilty technology and a symbol of their current dominance. However, when the Alexis is suddenly besieged by a horde of monsters, Layle comes face to face with an adversary thought to have vanished from the pages of history, on a quest that may threaten the future of the world…

Destiny and fate play important roles in our lives. Destiny affects our career, health, families, friends and our purpose in life. Destiny also plays a role in our relationships. Destiny will put us on the path of meeting a soulmate or even create the space to reunite with a soulmate. But just how much destiny is willing to play a hand in our relationships varies from person to person. It is a misconception to believe that all soulmates are destined to stay together forever, treat each other right, or even allow the soulmate relationship to unfold.
Destiny can bring two soulmates together but, the Universe creates the space for the meeting to happen, but it is up to the two soulmate individuals to do something with that soulmate connection. For example, if you meet a potential soulmate but one of you is in another relationship, the one currently attached to another is going to have to do some work to free themselves. Destiny may lend a hand in revealing how bad the other relationship is, opening their eyes to the reality of their situation, and encouraging them to leave. Destiny may also help that person be truly aware of how much happier they would be if they left their current relationship, becoming free to pursue you. What destiny cannot and will not do is brainwash them into leaving their current relationship, or force them to. Perhaps you have entered that person's life to be the catalyst for change they need to free themselves of a burdensome romantic partner but the rest is up to them. That is where destiny has to take a backseat. Destiny can only do so much, the rest is up to them.
Destiny may bring signs into our lives to help us see the direction we need to go in. We may think it is time to forget about a soulmate and move on. But destiny has other ideas and bombards you with sign after sign, reminding you of your soulmate. You feel like destiny is playing a cruel trick on you when all you want to do is get on with your life. Destiny isn't being cruel, it is trying to keep you from making a mistake or bad decision.
Everything happens for a reason. You should pay attention to signs, as they are often messages from the Universe intended to help guide you on the right path. Chance meetings and encounters are great signs and should not be disregarded. How you react and respond to those signs is up to you. Destiny may be bringing you back together to rekindle your soulmate relationship, but if you both act out or behave the wrong way, you will blow the opportunity. What did you learn during your time you were separated? That time was to be used wisely, creating personal growth to better be able to deal with a soulmate relationship.
Destiny has a power that we don't. It can do things we can't. But that doesn't mean destiny will take care of everything. We need to take responsibility for our own happiness. It is part of your responsibility to the Universe. Destiny is your partner, and if you work in harmony with it, you will get the results you desire. If you do not, you surely will not.
Always be aware of the power you have in a soulmate relationship. Too many people feel out of control, as if there is no control over feelings, emotions, decisions and behaviors. That is wrong. The connection and love you have for your soulmate can either work for you, or work against you. If it is currently working against you, contact Sarah and Sophia to turn it around for the better.Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2015 Soulmate Psychic Readings

Following in Motorola's footsteps, Sony has just announced three new smartphones at IFA - the Xperia Z5 Compact, Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Premium. But other than their varying sizes, what sets these handsets apart from not only each other, but also the competition? Let's find out…
The Z5 Compact features a 4.6-inch Full HD display, which is a step up in quality terms when compared to its predecessor, the Xperia Z3+ Compact. It's perfect for one-handed use, and means you no longer have to compromise and go for a larger phone if you want the top specs.
Like its two big brothers, it boasts a 23MP camera which is amazing quality for a compact handset, and can also autofocus is under 0.1-seconds.
It's still waterproof, certified at IP68 and features a new fingerprint sensor under the home button on the right hand side of the device. There is also a new squared off design, which runs through the Z5 range.
The Xperia Z5 is for the Goldilocks' out there – not too big, not too small. It also features the same waterproof superpowers, fingerprint scanner and awesome 23MP camera that the Compact has.
The display measures in 5.2-inches and is Full HD, which isn't any better than the Z3+, but is impressive all the same. To find out more about how the Z5 compares to its predecessor, the Sony Xperia Z3+, follow this link for our full comparison.
Introducing the first 4K smartphone display. That's right - smartphones have come and gone with the ability to shoot video in 4K, but never before have you been able to watch it back on the same device. To find out more about how good 4K is, and how it differs from Quad HD, click here.
The Xperia Z5 Premium's display measures in at 5.5-inches, and the quality is four times better than Full HD – that's a pixel p/inch density of 807. If that's not enough it's also got all the same great improvements that feature on the other two handsets, and a giant battery to help power that super display.
We'll be spending some more time with all three handsets soon, so keep your eyes peeled for more.

Full Weekend Workshop Descriptions
Semi-Private Mysore Class
Semi Private Mysore classes include an hour and fourty-five minute Mysore class plus an additional half-hour on specific hatha yoga subjects that David chooses. Subjects include pranayama, bandhas or asana theory. These special classes are an excellent opportunity for students to receive one on one instruction from David about their practice in a small group setting.
Mysore Class
Mysore class provides the student with a concentrated and heightened learning experience that will help he/she develop practical and technical yoga skills and be immersed in the inspirational magic and poetic soul of the practice. Each student will receive valuable one to one guidance from David on developing his/her personal practice. The student will develop skill in applying the practice techniques in ways that are logical, challenging, intelligent and fun. David focuses on learning how to follow the Ashtanga system and at the same time creating a practice that honors individuality, versatility and creativity.
Ashtanga's Dynamic Dimension
This class is a combination of philosophy and asana theory. There is a great art to understanding the subtle progressions of movement that bring you into and out of each asana, exploring this refinement is what brings you into readiness, poise, beauty and alignment in your postures. Vinyasa knowledge is meant to refine your awareness and to see the practice as chiefly dhyana, meditation. In this class we'll look at how such fundamental postures as Chaturanga Dandasana, Upward Dog, and Down Dog reveal the root techniques that inform the internal practice of Ashtanga Yoga. We'll explore the intimate connection between the two patterns (Prana and Apana vayus) of the breath and the vinyasa movement system, and also how the role of the bandhas (locks) plays into these core elements of the practice. This class is for everyone from the beginning to advanced student; it will reinforce how the most basic ashtanga practices are both readily accessible and can lead you into the precise refined awareness at the heart of yoga.
Strong Legs, Awake Axis, and Stable Mind Through Standing Postures
In this class we'll explore how cultivating a combination of dynamism and stability in the standing postures provides you a perfect means of entrance into the internal practice of Ashtanga Yoga. We'll explore the importance of using the feet, legs, and hips to create strength, stamina and concentration. You will better understand how the standing postures are an essential key to building a strong asana foundation. You will learn to see how the ground and the lower body support your posture, awaken the breath and spine, lead the way to steady gazing (dristi), and to dynamic meditation (dhyana).
Introduction to Second Series
This class will help you to understand the postures that form the first part of the sequence, You will learn how about universal back bending principles through working on such postures as Shalabasana (Locust Pose), Bhekasana (Frog Pose), Dhanursasana (Bow) Pose), Ustrasana (Camel Pose) and the formidable Kapotasana (Pigeon Pose). Using the basic positions to understand back bending principles will teach you how to safely and intelligently work on virtually any back bend posture. Another gift of focusing on back bends is that you can learn to use your spine more expressively and then paying attention to your spinal positioning becomes a central theme in the performance of each posture. The class will also focus on working with such foundational arm balance postures as Bakasana (Crane Pose) and Pincha Mayurasana (Feathered Peacock Pose).
