April 4, 2019 | News | No Comments

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Louisiana-Lafayette senior catcher Lexie Elkins was the No. 1 overall pick by the Pennsylvania Rebellion in the 2016 NPF College Draft presented by Bownet on Thursday evening at the CMA Theater in Nashville, located within the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Elkins was the first player from Louisiana and the Sun Belt Conference to be drafted No. 1.

“Lexie was at the top of our list from day one,” said PA Rebellion owner Stu Williams. “She does have the power. She rarely strikes out. We are very excited to have her in Pennsylvania. We can’t wait to see how this season unfolds.”

Following Elkins as first round picks were Michigan second baseman Sierra Romero (USSSA Pride), James Madison pitcher/first baseman Jailyn Ford (Akron Racers), Missouri infielder Sami Fagan (Akron Racers), Kentucky pitcher Kelsey Nunley (USSSA Pride) and Nebraska outfielder Kiki Stokes (Scrap Yard Dogs). Stokes becomes the first draft pick in Scrap Yard Dogs’ franchise history.

“The philosophy of this draft was to make sure we had kids who could drive the ball,” Scrap Yard Dawgs general manager Connie May said. “We wanted to make sure they were athletes who had speed so we could have a lot of versatility across the field.

The Dallas Charge and defending Cowles Cup champion Chicago Bandits, who did not have first-round picks, made their first selections in the second round, drafting UAB infielder Caitlyn Attfield and UCF pitcher Shelby Turnier, respectively.

In all, 40 college seniors from 27 NCAA programs were selected by the six NPF team over six rounds. Two-time defending champion Florida led the way with four selections, while Missouri, LSU and Oregon followed with three apiece. Georgia, James Madison, Kentucky and Michigan each had two draftees.

James Madison, Iowa State, Troy, UAB and University of Missouri St. Louis (DII) each had their first-ever NPF draftees. Akron’s sixth-round pick of UMSL pitcher Hannah Perryman made history. Perryman is the first Division II player to be selected in the NPF draft.

The SEC had nine programs and 18 student-athletes represented, followed by the Big 12 with four schools and four players. The Pac-12 had three programs and five draftees and the Sun Belt finished the night with three universities and three players. The Big Ten (2 schools / 3 players), American Athletic Conference (2/2), Colonial Athletic Association (1/2), ACC (1/1) and Division II Great Lakes Valley Conference (1/1) were also represented.

Quotes from around the country

Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Michael Lotief on Lexie Elkins (PA Rebellion)

“Incredible, awesome and surreal were the emotions upon hearing Lexie’s name as the No. 1 pick, and to realize that what ‘we have already known’ – that Lexie is the best of the best – is now known by all. This is an amazing moment in our program’s and University’s history to have the best in their area recognized nationally.

Third overall pick Jailyn Ford – James Madison (Akron Racers)

“I can’t put this feeling into words as I am still taking it all in. This is something I have always looked forward to ever since I started my softball career. I am very excited to have the opportunity to continue playing but we still have work to do in my final season at James Madison.”

James Madison Head Coach Mickey Dean on Ford and Erica Field (USSSA Pride)

“I feel like a proud father for both Erica and Jailyn. It’s great for them to be recognized for all their hard work and dedication. They are two very talented young ladies and I am excited to see that people are appreciating what James Madison is bringing to the softball world.”

Sami Fagan – Missouri (Akron Racers)

Coach Ehren Earleywine, Coach Gina Schneider, Coach Pete D’Amour, the Mizzou Softball support staff and all of my teammates for making me better every day. Mizzou is my second home and being there was the best four years of my life.”

Erin Crane – Missouri (Scrap Yard Dogs)

“I wanted to go somewhere that I could help make a name and when I saw my name on the screen for the Scrap Yard Dawgs, I knew I had the perfect opportunity to do that with a brand new NPF organization. I’m so happy that I get the chance to tie up my cleats after my time with Mizzou. I can’t thank this program enough for helping me be the player I am now. Thank you to the entire family for believing in me and chasing me around the last four years and even before that. Thank you to Uncle Randy for being the best angel I could ask for. This is going to be a new experience and I’m excited to see where it takes me. Let that dawg hunt!”

Chaley Brickey – Kansas (PA Rebellion)

Hannah Perryman, UMSL (Akron Racers)

“I am beyond excited to be a Racer! To even be selected, let alone to be the first Division II player, is a dream come true. This is something I’ve always dreamed of and have worked so hard for. To be able to say that I am a professional softball player is the most amazing feeling.”

UAB Head Coach Marla Townsend on Caitlin Attfield (Dallas Charge)

Kellsi Kloss – LSU (Chicago Bandits)

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to play with this organization, while also being so honored that they believed in me and that I deserved the shot to be a professional athlete. It’s humbling to know that I’m going to be surrounded by so many of the athletes that I, and so many others, have looked up to. I want to thank all of my teammates and the coaches who have helped get me to this point and I cannot wait to join the team later this summer.”

Kiki Stokes – Nebraska (Scrap Yard Dogs)

“It was really exciting,” Stokes said. “Everybody around me was screaming and it was surreal to me. I didn’t process at all that I was going to go in the first round. I’m still kind of shaken up about it. I’m really excited about what’s next, and I’m really excited everyone got to be around and witness it. I’m blessed to be able to get to play a game that a lot of people only get to play for four years.”

Nebraska Head Coach Rhonda Revelle on Stokes

“This is a proud moment for Nebraska softball,” Revelle said. “It is a proud moment to see a player work so hard to maximize her talent and to have that talent be recognized by the NPF. We can’t wait to see Kiki play professionally.”

Shelby Turnier – UCF (Chicago Bandits)

“This moment is unreal. I’ve always dreamed of this day happening, but never thought it could be a reality. I’m so thankful for all the coaches and players who have helped me along the way. And of course, the biggest thanks goes to my family, who are my number one fans.”

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr Expansion Announced

April 4, 2019 | News | No Comments

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr, the MMO’s next major expansion, will be released on June 4, ZeniMax Online Studios announced today.

Elsweyr, which will be “similar in size and scope to last year’s Summerset zone,” features a thirty-hour, “year-long” main story told over four quarterly releases, beginning with the Wrathstone DLC in February. The story will see players side with the Khajiit as they defend their homeland from both invading Imperials and dangerous dragons.

Dragons are being added to The Elder Scrolls Online for the first time in Elsweyr and will be more difficult to defeat than the ones players may have encountered in Skyrim, according to Creative Director Rich Lambert.

Elsweyr also introduces the Necromancer, the MMO’s first new class since the Warden was added in 2017’s Morrowind expansion. Lambert briefly detailed the new class, saying NPCs who witness necromancy will alert guards, seeing as it’s frowned upon, if not outlawed, throughout most of Tamriel.

Changes are also coming to PvP with the Elsweyr expansion, including the separation of The Imperial City from Cyrodiil — a change that Lambert says will improve performance. A new “artifact” system, meanwhile, will introduce powerful new weapons to PvP areas. ZeniMax Online will be testing the new system with Volendrung, a super-powered weapon with a catch: Volendrung must be fed, so if you aren’t killing other players, it’ll begin killing you. Once spawned, all players will be alerted to the weapon’s location, making for a chaotic chase.

Before Elsweyr hits in June, the aforementioned Wrathstone DLC will bring two new dungeons and some quality of life improvements — a new zone guide and an overhauled guild trader UI — to The Elder Scrolls Online in February.

The year of new content will be rounded out with additional dungeon DLC in Q3 and a new story DLC in Q4, which will wrap up Elsweyr’s year-long main quest.

2019 will mark the third consecutive year ZeniMax Online has released a major expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online, following Morrowind in 2017 and Summerset in 2018.

India claims to have killed ‘key conspirator’ of February’s deadly Kashmir bombing

April 4, 2019 | News | No Comments

Indian troops reportedly shot a top commander from JeM, the militant group behind a suicide attack in Kashmir which killed over 40 Indian police officers. The terror attack led to intense air combat between India and Pakistan.

Mudasir Ahmed Khan, described by authorities as a top commander, is believed to have been killed in an encounter with Indian government forces and was said to be involved in “planning and executing several terror attacks,” local media reported citing the statement from the Kashmir police.

Officials claim the man was affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed militant group and was the “key conspirator” of the suicide car bomb attack in Kashmir’s disputed Pulwama district on February 14.

Khan and another militant, a Pakistani national codenamed Khalid were trapped and killed on Sunday in the city of Tral in Indian-administered Kashmir, police said. It took time for the officials to identify the identities of the fighters as their bodies were charred beyond recognition.

Both men were wanted by authorities in India for “a series of terror crimes, including [an] attack on security establishments,” the police elaborated.

On February 14, a car packed with 350kgs of explosives overtook the large convoy of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) outside Kashmir’s capital Srinagar and rammed into a bus killing over 40 people. The attack has become the deadliest in the disputed region since the 1989 armed revolt in which tens of thousands were killed. Pakistan-based Islamist militant group claimed responsibility for the terror act but Islamabad has denied allegations that it supports armed insurgents in the area.

The incident deteriorated the already tense relations between India and Pakistan and led to a series of air combats between the nuclear-armed states. India and Pakistan accused each other of cross-border fire that has claimed civilian casualties on both sides of the Line of Control.

The latest tit-for-tat clashes between Islamabad and New Delhi raised fears of a full-fledged military conflict in the region. Turkey, Iran, and Russia have already volunteered to mediate between the two rivals in southern Asia.

Canadian Doctors To Prescribe Museum Visits For Chronic Pain, Depression

April 4, 2019 | News | No Comments

A group of Canadian doctors will begin prescribing trips to an art gallery to help patients suffering from a range of ailments become a picture of health.

A partnership between the Francophone Association of Doctors in Canada (MFdC) and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) will allow patients suffering from a number of physical and mental health issues, along with their loved ones, to enjoy the benefits art can have on one’s health with free visits.

The pilot project is unprecedented global, according to its organizer.

The project will see participating physicians prescribe up to 50 visits to the MMFA during treatment, each pass valid for up to two adults and two minors.

So far 100 doctors have enrolled to take part over the course of a year, Nicole Parent, head of the MFdC, told AFP Thursday.

The numbers offer proof that doctors have “a sensitivity and openness to alternative approaches if you want” Parent said, citing scientifically proven benefits of art on health.

The benefits are similar to those patients can get from physical activity, prompting the secretion of a similar level of feel-good hormones, and can help with everything from chronic pain to depression, stress and anxiety.

The pilot program will allow organizers to gather data and analyze results, to potentially provide experts with future patient protocol.

Parent said she hopes other museums in Canada will follow the lead of the MMFA, which since 2016, has cultivated expertise in art therapy for people with a variety of health ailments.

“I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil in a statement.

“Cultural experiences will benefit health and wellness, just as engaging in sports contributes to fitness,” she said.

Lonni Alameda Named Head Coach of NPF’s USSSA Pride

April 4, 2019 | News | No Comments

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Currently in her eighth season as the head coach of the Florida State softball program, Lonni Alameda will soon add another head coach title to her résumé as the USSSA Pride announced that she will lead their professional team for the 2016 season in the National Pro Fastpitch league.

“I’m honored to coach in the NPF,” said Alameda. “I think the National Pro Fastpitch league is an outstanding opportunity to grow our game and to be the head coach of the USSSA Pride with all of their great athletes, tradition and reputation that they have is going to be an amazing experience.

“I’m really excited to learn from the athletes and to continue to create the culture and environment of growing the game for professional fastpitch, collegiate softball and softball in general. We all have the responsibility to keep moving this game forward. As we have people like Don DeDonatis who nurtures such a great learning environment and experience for athletes, it is truly an honor to be a part of.”

Alameda will be the latest in a long line of collegiate coaches that have been at the helm of the USSSA Pride in during the summer. Former Pride head coaches include Tim Walton (Florida – 2010-2011), Beth Torina (LSU – 2012), JT D’Amico (Washington – 2013), Gerry Glasco (Georgia – 2014) and Mike Davenport (North Georgia – 2015).

It also continues Florida State’s involvement with the Pride as assistant coach Travis Wilson was an assistant coach during the 2015 NPF season. In 2015, the Seminole hitting coach helped the Pride lead the league in several offensive categories and finish as the NPF regular season champions.

The Seminoles have placed several student-athletes in the professional ranks in recent seasons with Courtney Senas and Maddie O’Brien on the PA Rebellion, Briana Hamilton with the Akron Racers and Lacey Waldrop with the 2015 Cowles Cup Champion Chicago Bandits.

The 2016 National Pro Fastpitch season begins on May 31 with the Akron Racers taking on the PA Rebellion. Alameda will join the Pride following the conclusion of the Florida State season and opening day for the Pride will be on June 10 in Conroe, Texas against the newest NPF Franchise, the Scrap Yard Dawgs.

‘So crass and so obvious’: Pressure from Washington pushes Venezuela closer to Russia

April 4, 2019 | News | No Comments

Click:web design agency hk

As the US pushes for regime change in Venezuela, Caracas has moved closer to Moscow. Despite US claims that Russia threatens world democracy, analysts say it’s Washington which is responsible for neglect to international law.

There is “no time to wait” when it comes to the process of moving Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA from Lisbon to Moscow, Venezuela’s ambassador to Russia Carlos Rafael Faria Tortosa told reporters on Tuesday, just days after the PDVSA move was announced by Vice President Delcy Rodriguez. He said it was the “perfect time” and reflected the “reshaping” of Venezuela’s international relationships.

Tortosa also told reporters that Venezuela’s oil minister, Manuel Quevedo, may attend a meeting of the intergovernmental commission in Russia in early April, signalling potential further cooperation.

Moscow, certainly, will be glad to host Manuel Quevedo. It has also been quick to offer humanitarian aid to Venezuela. The deliveries of Russian aid through channels like the UN and World Health Organization (WHO), however, stand in stark contrast to recent US attempts to illegally push ostensible humanitarian aid into Venezuela over the Colombian border — an effort which was not supported by the UN or the Red Cross, and which Caracas described as “a Trojan horse” to potentially smuggle weapons to opposition forces in the country.

Despite all this Washington doesn’t recognize that it violates international law making. Instead, Moscow is responsible for different “international interventions” and threatening democracies worldwide, as US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during his latest tour of Europe.

‘Against international law’

Washington is leading a “revolution against international law and against international order,” with its calls for regime change and efforts to oust President Nicolas Maduro in favor of pro-US opposition leader Juan Guaido, former UN rapporteur to Venezuela and professor of law Alfred de Zayas told RT.

Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Gutierrez should “remind” the Lima Group of Western Hemisphere countries that US actions in Venezuela violate “articles 3, 19 and 20 of the Charter of the Organization of American States” (OAS) and that the charter should be “rigorously observed,” De Zayas said.

The OAS charter holds that no state has a right to intervene “directly or indirectly, for any reason whatever, in the internal or external affairs of any other State.” Neither can any member state “encourage the use of coercive measures of an economic or political character in order to force the sovereign will of another State.”

The violation of the charter has been “so crass and so obvious that you wouldn’t think that you would have to remind the Lima Group of it, but they seem to be caught in their own web,” de Zayas said.

No revolution of the people?

In spite of Washington’s best efforts, Maduro still enjoys the support of millions of Venezuelans who regard Guaido with suspicion, political analyst and editor at Venezuelanalysis.com Lucas Koerner told RT.

“There was an expectation that the Maduro government was going to come crashing down like a house of cards the moment the US and its allies recognized Guaido,” as interim president, Koerner said.

Five weeks later, the two countries are in an “awkward standoff” because Guaido has no real power in Venezuela, but Washington can’t backtrack having already dramatically declared him the legitimate president, Koerner said.

While the US political and media establishment make a big deal out of Venezuela’s military ties with Russia, those ties were partly the result of economic stonewalling and US pressure on Caracas going back to 2006, according to Koerner. That’s when the Bush administration prohibited the sale of spare parts for Venezuela’s fleet of [US built] F-16 aircraft, which “forced Venezuela to go to Russia to purchase the Sukhoi model aircraft which they currently are employing.”

“It’s important to note that it was US pressure on Caracas which effectively pushed Venezuela to seek these kinds of alliances” with countries like Russia and China, Koerner said.

He ruled out direct US military intervention just yet, saying it is likely that for now Washington will continue to pressure Caracas in other ways, focusing on stepping up sanctions and trying to “foment military insurrection” instead.

India’s fugitive billionaire Nirav Modi found in London living lavishly in plain sight

April 4, 2019 | News | No Comments

The British government seems to be turning a blind eye to India’s most wanted fraudster, Nirav Modi, who found a safe harbor in London, despite an Interpol Red Notice and Indian authorities’ demands for his arrest and extradition.

Fugitive billionaire Nirav Modi is lavishly living in the open in London, despite being wanted back home for an alleged £2bn ($2.6bn) scam against India’s Punjab National Bank (PNB), the Telegraph has reported, after tracking down the elusive businessman.

“Modi was given a National Insurance number in recent months by the Department for Work & Pensions and has been able to operate online bank accounts in the UK while wanted by Indian authorities,” the publication reports, citing a well-placed source in the government.

If the allegations are true, the UK would effectively be harboring a man who has been placed on Interpol’s Red Notice list last July. India authorities in the past said that Modi was seen in the UK after fleeing the country last year, yet London failed to act on the world-wide police alert requesting a provisional arrest of the fugitive, pending extradition proceedings.

Fugitive billionaire jeweller Nirav Modi last seen in UK, Indian authorities claim

It appears that the celebrity jeweler tycoon had settled in well in the British capital, where he rents a three-bedroom flat in the landmark Centre Point tower block for about £17,000 ($22,000) a month. While slightly altering his appearance with a handlebar mustache, the man has been recorded strolling to and from his new business office in Soho, which specializes in the diamond trade.

“The business, which was incorporated last May, is linked to his flat in Centre Point although he is not listed as a director at Companies House,” the Telegraph reported, wondering how Modi’s presence remained unnoticed by the British authorities. When the publication asked Modi outside his office whether he’d applied for political asylum to enjoy such liberties, the billionaire refused to comment. The Home Office also refused to provide details.

Modi denies allegations of being involved in a multi-billion loan fraud conspiracy, through which he allegedly used the state-run bank to obtain advances for paying his overseas suppliers. His legal team accuses the Punjab National Bank of a cover-up to avoid liability for the missing funds.

While the fugitive continues to enjoy his posh lifestyle in the UK, Indian authorities demolished the accused fraudster’s massive sea-facing villa in Maharashtra’s Alibaug on Friday.

New Far Cry Game’s Name, Box Art Seemingly Leak

April 4, 2019 | News | No Comments

Seemingly leaked box art has revealed the next Far Cry game may be titled Far Cry: New Dawn.

Posted by Wario64 on Twitter, the potential cover art features the same lush post-apocalyptic setting and buzzsaw-blade-shooting crossbow highlighted in yesterday’s teaser trailer.

Far Cry: New Dawn’s potential Xbox One box art via Wario64

The potential Xbox One box art also hints at HDR and 4K support for Xbox One X. Ubisoft previously announced Far Cry: New Dawn, should that be the official title, will also be released for PlayStation 4 and PC.

It’s still unclear whether this will be a spinoff, a direct sequel to Far Cry 5, or an entirely new entry in the series. We’ll almost certainly have a definitive answer tonight when it’s officially revealed at The Game Awards 2018.
