  • APRIL, 2011 BCAM MONTHLY REPORT from the Executive Director Tom Hursey
    APRIL, 2011 BCAM MONTHLY REPORT From the Executive Director Tom Hursey FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: I have just attended the Michigan State finals. What a weekend for basketball junkies. Twelve ball games in 3 days. Big crowds in the Breslin Center. A very successful BCAM Hospitality Room in the MSU Women’s practice gym with over 500 BCAM members, officials and guests in attendance. Two successful half-time events called the Top Shooters Challenge where our top free throw and 3-point shooters shoot-off for the title of champion. My BCAM hat goes off to Nate Hampton and the MHSAA tourney committee for their first-class production of the Girls and Boys State Basketball Championships. BCAM and the MHSAA have been working together for years with the goal of improving high school basketball in Michigan. The cost of the Hospitality Room is split with the MHSAA (not inexpensive). We work together to present the Legends Clinic to youngsters at Hoopfest along with organizing the Top Shooters Challenge. The MHSAA and BCAM have worked hard at improving sportsmanship through our Basketball Officials and Coaches Communication Committee (BOCCC) and our inaugural Top 100 Sportsmanship Award sponsored by the Michigan National Guard. The Reaching Higher Showcase is another joint venture between BCAM and the MHSAA. BCAM might be the only basketball association in the country that has such a great working relationship with their state athletic association. I can’t emphasize enough the importance o f our great sponsors. How can BCAM offer our popular School Special membership incentive? Simple: our sponsors allow this to happen and save coaches and schools a lot of money.

  • Hurricane & Tropical Storm
    5.8 HURRICANE & TROPICAL STORM SECTION 5.8 HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM 5.8.1 HAZARD DESCRIPTION A tropical cyclone is a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or sub-tropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes are all considered tropical cyclones. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere around the center and are accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds (NOAA, 2013). Almost all tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin (which includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) form between June 1 and November 30 (hurricane season). August and September are peak months for hurricane development. The average wind speeds for tropical storms and hurricanes are listed below: . A tropical depression has a maximum sustained wind speeds of 38 miles per hour (mph) or less . A tropical storm has maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph . A hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. A major hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or higher (NOAA, 2013). Over a two-year period, the United States coastline is struck by an average of three hurricanes, one of which is classified as a major hurricane. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions may pose a threat to life and property. These storms bring heavy rain, storm surge and flooding (NOAA, 2013). The cooler waters off the coast of New Jersey can serve to diminish the energy of storms that have traveled up the eastern seaboard.

Four different quality categories from Wikipedia were chosen, from the total amount of eight, to ensure gathering of a representative sample, for each category there are fifty sentences, the total amount of the sentences altogether is, therefore, two hundred. The sentences will be analysed according to the Firabsian theory of functional sentence perspective in order to discriminate differences both between the quality categories and also within the categories.

  • 2019 - with the Completion of the 2018-19 Prep Basketball Season, the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan Proudly Wraps up Their Decade-Long “Retro” Mr
    100 YEARS OF MR. BASKETBALL BCAM Announces 10th and Final Round of “Retro” Mr. Basketball Winners. EAST LANSING, MI, April 1, 2019 - With the completion of the 2018-19 prep basketball season, the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan proudly wraps up their decade-long “Retro” Mr. Basketball project with the announcement of their final six honorees. Over the course of ten seasons, the project has examined the high school court careers of hundreds of the state’s finest. The list of 61 honorees, when combined with the winners of the current ‘Mr. Basketball’ award, first presented following the 1980-81 prep season, totals 100. A contiguous list of Michigan’s ‘Best of the Best’ now dates back to 1920. Noting the amazing pool of talented basketball players produced by the state over the years, past Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan Executive Director Tom Hursey and Michigan High School Athletic Association historian Ron Pesch hatched a plan to replicate the ‘Mr. Basketball’ concept, and apply it to the past. The goal was to name the top high school senior ballplayer for each of the 61 years between 1920 and 1980. To do so, Pesch hit the archives, examined the data, gathered names and assembled biographies, then provided a ballot. BCAM assembled a committee representing all parts of Michigan to examine the information, narrow the field to the best-of-the-best, and then vote for a winner. “All along, the idea was to focus solely on the high school playing careers of these individuals, just like the current award,” said Hursey.

During the 2015 TCRF/69th IHC, the following observations were highlighted: In addition to the on-site participants, the forum had a substantial “virtual” attendance, with attendees participating via the internet, using “GoToMeeting” and dial-in audio technology. There were 143 total registrants—83 attended in person and 60 participated virtually. It was pointed out by several participants that the face-to-face interaction at the forum was very valuable; lots of good discussions went on during the breaks. The session presentations were delivered in a timely manner and, in most instances, adequate time was available for questions from both on-site and virtual participants. The Hagemeyer Award was presented to Edward Fukada via video-link to the JTWC.

Minnesota has reported the coldest temperature in the 48 contiguous states four times so far this month, the coldest being -33 degrees F at Bigfork on the 3rd. In fact several places including Bemidji, International Falls, Bigfork, Babbit, and Cass Lake have recorded -30 degrees F or colder already this month. Temperatures are expected to continue colder than normal well into the third week of the month, with perhaps some moderation in temperature and a January thaw during the last ten days of the month. Topic: Overlooked feature of 2010 weather In my write-up and radio comments of last week about significant weather in 2010 several people mentioned that I overlooked the flash flood event in southern Minnesota over September 22-23, 2010 affecting at least 19 counties. One of the largest flash floods in history, this storm produced rainfall amounts greater than 10 inches in some places (11.06 inches near Winnebago) and near record flood crests on many Minnesota watersheds.

  • 1 Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Dora (EP042011) 18
    Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Dora (EP042011) 18- 24 July 2011 Daniel P. Brown National Hurricane Center 3 November 2011 Dora was a category 4 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale) that moved parallel to the southern coast of Mexico. a. Synoptic History Dora formed from a westward-moving tropical wave that interacted with anomalously strong southwesterly low-level flow over the far eastern Pacific Ocean. The wave moved off the west coast of Africa on 7 July and reached the southwestern Caribbean Sea about one week later. As the wave traversed the southwestern Caribbean Sea and neared Central America, it reached the eastern extent of an area of enhanced southwesterly flow over the eastern Pacific and Central America that was possibly associated with an eastward-moving Kelvin wave. The interaction of the wave and the strong southwesterly winds resulted in the formation of a broad area of low pressure over the extreme southwestern Caribbean Sea on 15 July. The system moved slowly westward across Central America during the next day or so and entered the eastern Pacific basin early on 17 July. During the next 24 h, the low continued westward and gradually became better defined. Early on 18 July, the associated thunderstorm activity quickly became organized, resulting in the formation of a tropical depression at 0600 UTC about 200 n mi south-southwest of San Salvador, El Salvador.
