    Oakland looks to lock down spot in NCAA Tournament at Horizon League Championship detroitsportsnation.com/college-sports/amuller/oakland-looks-lock-spot-ncaa-tournament-horizon-league-championship/91281/ Alexander Muller 2/28/2017 Dec 23, 2016; Rochester, MI, USA; Oakland Golden Grizzlies head coach Greg Kampe during the game against the Georgia Bulldogs at Athletics Center O'rena. Mandatory Credit: Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are not only the hottest team in the Horizon League at season’s end (winners of nine straight), but also on the country. And should they continue their hot streak this weekend at the Horizon League Tournament, they will punch their ticket to the dance and surely be a trendier pick for many when filling out their brackets. The final Horizon League Tournament held at Joe Louis Arena takes place starting this Friday, March 3. Thanks to a strong finish to the regular season, the Grizzlies clinched a share of the league title with Valparaiso and earned the No. 1 seed in the league tournament. So what’s been the biggest factors to Oakland’s success in 2016-17? The Grizzlies won ten of their 12 true road games this season, with losses coming at Michigan State (77-65 on 12/21) and at Wright State (88-67 on 01/22). That 83.3 road winning percentage ranks 6th nationally among teams who have played a minimum ten true road games this year. 1/3 Last year, Oakland had among the nation’s best offenses, led by All-American Kay Felder.

  • Gunshot Wounds: a Source of Lead in the Environment
    GUNSHOT WOUNDS: A SOURCE OF LEAD IN THE ENVIRONMENT 1 2 RICHARD K. STROUD AND W. GRAINGER HUNT 1US Fish & Wildlife Service, National Forensics Laboratory 1490 East Main Street, Ashland, OR 97520-1310 USA 2The Peregrine Fund, 5668 West Flying Hawk Lane, Boise ID 96056 USA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT.—Ingested lead shotgun pellets and rifle bullet fragments have been shown to be an important source of lead poisoning in water birds, raptors, avian scavengers, and even seed-eating birds. Ingestion of spent lead shotgun pellets by waterfowl and secondary ingestion by Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocepha- lus) scavenging on waterfowl led to the change of hunting regulations that prohibit the use of toxic lead pellets for waterfowl hunting in the United States. However, bullets containing toxic lead are still widely used to hunt large game animals and “varmints” and are a source of lead in the environment available to wildlife. Basic bullet materials available to the bullet manufacturer include lead alloys, lead with external copper wash, lead core with copper jacket, pure copper, and bismuth. Lead and bismuth are highly frangible, whereas pure copper bullets tend to remain intact after impact. Bullet fragmentation increases the degree of lead contamination in tissue ingested by scavengers feeding on hunter-killed animal remains. Modern bullet design, velocity, composition, and bone impact are significant factors in the character and distribution of lead particles in carcasses, gut piles, and wound tissue left in the field by hunters. Prior to the 1900s, bullets were made entirely of lead. Their velocities were relatively slow (<2000 feet per second), and their ten- dency to fragment was accordingly lower than that of modern ammunition.

  • More Than Kay Felder: Oakland Thrives Despite Superstar's Early Departure
    More than Kay Felder: Oakland thrives despite superstar’s early departure to NBA fanragsports.com/cbb/more-than-kay-felder-oakland-thrives-despite-superstars-early-departure-to-nba/ By Adam Biggers 12/20/2016 ROCHESTER, Mich. — Kay Felder’s decision to forgo his senior year and hop into the 2016 NBA Draft was supposed to be the beginning of the end for the Oakland Golden Grizzlies. The absence of one of the most exciting scorers in recent memory was supposed to leave Greg Kampe’s program in shambles this season, said critics. No Kay, no success, they said. They were wrong. Kay Felder is one of the greatest to ever play at Oakland, but the game at OU hasn’t stopped in his absence. Photo: Andy Shippy | FanRag Sports “I think we kind of have a group of guys who have a chip on their shoulder,” said Kampe, who’s seen progression with nearly every player. “When Kay announced that he was going into the NBA, everybody seemed to write our death warrant for this year. Our guys were kind of upset about that. They felt like we were a pretty good team last year, not just a single player…” One year ago, the offense revolved around Felder, who averaged 24.2 points per game — fourth-most in the nation — and led the country in assists, averaging 9.3 per game. On Dec. 22, 2015, Felder scored 38 points during Oakland’s 99-93 double-overtime loss to the then 15-0 and No. 1-ranked Spartans. He was so good that MSU coach Tom Izzo called the display one of the best ever at The Palace of Auburn Hills, the home of the Detroit Pistons and site of the game.
