Gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin, mercury, sulfur and carbon were the earliest known elements. These were all known prior to the 1st century A.D.[/I][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][I]Over time, arsenic, antimony, phosphorus and zinc were discovered. By 1809 there were 47 discovered elements.[/I][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][I]One of the earliest attempts to organize the elements was by Johann Döbereiner in 1817. He organized elements into groups of three, or triads, based on similar qualities.[/I][/SIZE] [I][SIZE=3]On February 7, 1863, English chemist John Newlands published one of the first table of elements, which divided the known 56 elements into 11 groups based on the “Law of Octaves.” This suggested that any one element will have similar properties to elements eight places before and behind it on the table.[/SIZE][/I] [B][SIZE=7][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]SU News[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][URL='https://www.syracuse.com/expo/sports/g66l-2019/02/17a00a19c15274/syracuse-ad-john-wildhack-on-attendance-records-tv-blackouts-and-nike-deal.html']Syracuse AD John Wildhack on attendance records, TV blackouts and Nike deal[/URL] (PS; Carlson)[/B] [I]With Syracuse’s basketball teams hoping to set multiple attendance records this month and the football program announcing events that will turn its game against Clemson into a football extravaganza next year, it’s been a busy month for Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack.[/I] [I]The Orange are trying to set record attendance numbers in both men’s and women’s basketball. The Clemson football game will now include a jersey retirement for Tim Green and the school’s homecoming ceremonies.[/I] [I]With all that going on, Wildhack sat down for a question-and-answer session with Syracuse.com | The Post-Standard on Tuesday.

The current deal is set to end after the 2018-19 academic year.[/I] [I]In 2018, Wildhack said the school received interest from both Under Armour and Adidas but that he was inclined to re-negotiate with Nike first. Since then, his comments have pointed even more sharply toward a continuation of the relationship between the school and Nike. [/I] [I]Wildhack said on Tuesday that he continues to negotiate only with Nike. [/I] [I]"We’ve made significant progress," Wildhack said. "We’re moving in the right direction there.

He was previously committed to Air Force.[/I] [I]"Growing up in Syracuse, I was a big Big East fan and I always watched the rivalry between Syracuse and Pitt,” Dennis told Chris Peak of Panther-Lair.com. “I didn’t dislike Syracuse, but for some reason I always loved those teams that were rivals against Syracuse.

SU’s highest rated recruit Mikel Jones is a linebacker and so is four-star Lee Kpogba.[/I] [I]On the offensive side, Syracuse had one glaring issue after the early signing period. The class of ’19 had no quarterback. Chance Amie’s transfer made it even more alarming. One of the big victories on Wednesday was signing Connecticut QB David Summers, who verbally committed last week. A team should never welcome in a class without a gunslinger, so landing Summers capped off a positionally sound recruiting season for SU.[/I] [I]By Stars:[/I] [I]Easiest to do this with a graph.[/I] [I]Five-star Four-star Three-star Two-star ESPN 0 1 20 0 247Sports 0 0 20 0 Rivals 0 2 12 6 ...[/I] [B][URL='https://www.thenewshouse.com/sports/football/national-signing-day-studio-show-details-2019-commits/']National Signing Day studio show details 2019 football commits | The NewsHouse[/URL] (thenewshouse.com; Kriley)[/B] [I]A small number of Syracuse fans, almost all of whom were clad in some sort of Orange gear, made their way to the National Signing Day Studio Show at Manley Field House.

Each of the prior four seasons saw more than half of their games end up in the loss column.[/I] [I]Finally, Head Coach Dino Babers was able to turn things around and led Syracuse to an impressive 10-win season. In his third year, he was finally able to populate his team with 21 new guys he felt would help bring a winning culture to Central New York.[/I] [I]Following a breakdown of the four most recent high school players signed with Syracuse, the crowd in attendance first saw an interview with the Orange head coach, led by Park.[/I] [I]Babers discussed how important this past season was in order to continually land highly-rated recruits who he believes will help the team to continue winning.

Clemson also reached into an uncommon recruiting area when it landed Folsom (Calif.) High four-star receiver Joe Ngata, who is the No. 9 receiver in the class. It is the first time since 1991 Clemson signed a California prep player. Clemson also pulled in a huge offensive player when Tampa Plant’s William Putnam, the No. 5 offensive guard in the class, picked the Tigers on Dec. 20. ... ... SLEEPER RECRUIT — Hampton (Ga.) Dutchtown’s Kevon Glenn is a mid-level three-star, but do not sleep on the No. 36 inside linebacker and Florida State signee.
