Familiar faces vie for table tennis glory

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District and URS Corporation have held ping pong leagues for several years and ultimately hold a championship tournament on the seventh-floor patio of their downtown Los Angeles office building.

This year’s Pingpong Extravaganza men’s championship was held July 26, featuring a chili dog lunch to raise funds for and promote membership in the District-sponsored Toastmasters club.

“Another great year,” said Ed Louie, member of Essayons Toastmasters Club 988 and One-Alarm Chili chef. “We had some scheduling issues, so only the men’s final was held today.”

In the men’s division, it was an all-District final as ACE-IT contractor Bee Cha won three sets to one against David Coltharp of the asset management division.

Corps vs. Corps lined up as the women took the table on July 31. Perennial finalist and 2006 champion Rosa Ramirez, programs and project management division lost a hard fought battle to Roxanne Vidaurre, engineering division.

This fun rivalry got its start when Ed Louie attended a Toastmasters meeting in URS’ conference room and noticed a ping pong table in the patio area. A URS Toastmasters member asked him if he would like a quick game after the meeting. After the match, the two decided it would be fun if the district and URS challenge each other to a friendly ping pong match. From that point in 2006 to present, it’s two wins for URS men and five wins for the Corps men. For the women, its four wins for URS and two wins for the Corps women. The Corps is looking for future men and women players to join.

“If this year is any indication, the men and women of the Los Angeles District and URS Corporation will continue this friendly challenge, and I may have to add another ‘alarm’ to my chili,” added Louie.

if you can help me it be great

if you know the theme, figurative language, metaphor and all that it be awesome

Title Immortal
Author Untermeyer, Louis (1885–1977)

Death cannot keep me; even when the dry
Earth holds me warm, a rose-bush at my head.
I shall not be content to loaf and lie
Inactive in that strait and slothful bed.

For soon the happy restlessness of life
Shall pierce me, stir me, make me once again
Part of the vigor and the freshening strife,
Raised by the miracles of sun and rain.

And when at length the grudging winters pass,
Endowed with swift and splendid liberty,
I shall go forth in rich and sturdy grass;
Shall scent the clover, call the thirsting bee.

I shall be in the urge that bursts the pod,
Pushing the sap along the stiffening tree;
That gives the young branch leaves, that stabs the sod.
