    http://blog.cleveland.com/sports/college_impact/print.html?entry=... Akron Zips roll past Western Michigan, 65-43, to open Mid-American Conference play By Elton Alexander, The Plain Dealer on January 09, 2013 at 8:51 PM, updated January 10, 2013 at 12:51 AM Print View/Post Comments AKRON, Ohio -- The Akron Zips were held well under their scoring average but still dispatched Western Michigan with ease, 65-43, Wednesday night in the opening game of Mid-American Conference play. A tight game at the half became a blowout inside the first six minutes of the second half. Before the Zips (10-4) were done, thanks to senior Brian Walsh scoring 10 of his 12 points in a 21-8 Akron run, the Broncos (8-6) were already reeling back to Kalamazoo, Mich. Enlarge Lonnie Timmons III, The Plain Dealer "They had five guys in the paint," Akron University of Akron's Alex Abreu is fouled by Western Michigan University's Austin Ritchie during the second half of their men's coach Keith Dambrot said of the Broncos.

"We're a great shooting team," Walsh said. "We knew they would fall. Coach called my number to start the second half." Walsh curled off a screen and had a wide-open look to trigger a 56 percent shooting effort by the Zips in the second half.

  • Forestry Training Centre Incorporated
    FORESTRY TRAINING CENTRE INCORPORATED MANUAL ON INTRODUCTION TO FOREST ROADS And Considerations for Reduced Impact Logging ©Tropical Forest Foundation February 2010. Introduction to Forest Roads And Considerations for Reduced Impact Logging FTCI February 2010 Foreword The renewable nature of forests can be conserved indefinitely provided stakeholders act responsibly their interventions in forest resources. One vital and critical aspect of forest management, whatever the objective of management, is the construction of roads and trails. The harvesting of timber in particular leads to a higher density of roads (km/ha) and in addition skid trails at the rate of about 1- 2.5km/100ha; roads are essential for conveying production inputs (machines, fuel, rations, logging rigs, personnel) to the areas targeted for harvesting, for the removal of logs from forest concessions to processing locations, and for concession monitoring purposes. Poor road design and road construction lead to higher truck maintenance costs and deterioration of logs in transit. Roads are therefore intrinsically linked to the viability of forest enterprises. Good roads also reflect environmental responsibility. This manual is for loggers. Its intention is to sensitise loggers to the key considerations guiding road location, road construction and road maintenance within the context of reduced impact logging. a) It does not in any way attempt to replace the excellent manuals on roads available in stores and on the internet. This manual does not attempt in any way to detract from standard engineering criteria for road location and construction. The objectives of the manual are to: provide loggers with enough information in a simple format to encourage the logger into taking road construction and maintenance more seriously; b) help the logger identify any specific problems and to seek expert technical assistance as required; c) help logger articulate their road construction and road maintenance plans within their forest management plans and their annual plans of operations.

Akron Zips football gameday: at Bowling Green BOWLING_GREEN_DEFENSE.JPG Bowling Green's defense's has been key to its early success, but gets a test against the high powered Akron Zips. (AP Photo) Elton Alexander, The Plain Dealer By Elton Alexander, The Plain Dealer on September 27, 2013 at 10:01 AM, updated September 27, 2013 at 10:04 AM CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Preview of Akron's football game against Bowling Green. Akron (1-3, 0-0) at Bowling Green (3-1, 1-0) Kickoff: Saturday, 2:30 p.m., Doyt-Perry Stadium. Radio: WARF-AM, 1350. Outlook: Learning to win has been a struggle for the Akron Zips, even as they have been entertaining enough to have their last three games go down to the final play. Could this be the week the Zips finally break through against a FBS opponent? Their style of play does indicate a chance, although Akron's passing attack will be going against the No. 4 pass defense and No. 1 total defense in the Mid-American Conference. The Falcons have already proven their worth, knocking off defending Conference-USA champion Tulsa to start the season, the defending MAC East champion Kent State on the road, all with a first-year quarterback in Matt Johnson, who has already passed for an even 1,000 yards on the season. The Zips pass offense ranks No. 3 in the league at 258.8 yards per game with a MAC best 10 TDs.
