Maybe it was because of a late season slump that former Lady Knight softball coach Joe Piazza sent his prized sophomore to the plate to bat left-handed in the 1990 Class LL championship game. Maybe it was because his team was trailing by one run, and the coach saw something in the defense.
It's been almost a quarter century since Meghan McNicholas-Leggett stood in the batter's box as a switch hitter, but Piazza still remembers it clearly. She gave him a quizzical look because it had been almost three weeks since the right hander had practiced her lefty stance in practice, but Meghan stepped to the plate without a question …and executed.
"Just as the girl was getting ready to pitch I heard their coach start screaming. He realized that she wasn't left handed, but it was too late," Piazza said with a laugh. "Meghan dropped the bunt perfectly, and it just rolled down the third base line. By the time their girl got it, Meghan had beat it out. That's the way she was. She did it just because I asked her to do it. That started a rally, and we ended up winning the game, 4-3."
When it comes to team players, few athletes compare to McNicholas. If you needed something done, she'd do it. If you needed a position filled, she'd volunteer. She wasn't always the fastest, but she was usually the best.
That might be the reason that—even though she openly admits that softball is not her best sport—Meghan started for Piazza's team in all three of her years at the high school, and she worked her way up through the organization to become a senior co-captain. Piazza said that McNicholas was a player that he could always rely upon to lead.
"She was my second baseman, but she was willing to do anything. She was my back-up catcher when somebody got hurt. She would do whatever you needed her to do," he said. "She was a great captain and a super leader. She was a great defensive player in softball because she was really quick. She could cover a lot of ground, and she always did what she had to do. She was a pleasure to coach without a doubt."
"Whatever I wanted her to do, she'd do it," echoed former Lady Knight soccer coach Winston Thompson. McNicholas first turned his head as a 13-year-old on his travel team. Thompson challenged his young player to compete at a Maryland tournament, and McNicholas passed the test with flying colors.
"We had a really weak team, but she was just unbelievable," said Thompson. "She told me that, whatever I wanted her to do, she would do. She was that kind of athlete. I loved her attitude, her desire, and her dedication. She was able to handle just about everything that would come at her."
Her dedication and focus carried into her high school career. Primarily a midfielder and half back, McNicholas quickly developed into a style that would serve her well throughout her career. She wasn't always the one grabbing headlines for her scoring. She was the rarest of players—one that would make everyone else around her better.
As a junior, she helped anchor a senior-laden soccer team that broke a two-year drought as conference champs. As a senior, she scored 13 goals to help a young team repeat as conference champs with an undefeated, 13-0-2 regular season.
In all three seasons, McNicholas earned all-conference honors and was named to a pair of all-state rosters. Twice, she was named as the team's MVP.
"She was one of the most wonderful people that I've ever coached in my life," said Thompson. "She was a very special person. I wouldn't say that she was the greatest goal scorer that we ever had, but she was definitely one of the best players that we ever had."
Still, McNicholas was never happy with just being a good player. "We didn't go very far in the tournament, but I have to say that we had some great seasons," she said. "We lost very few games in the regular season, but once we got to the tournament we were never able to push forward. We always got matched up with teams like Avon or Staples, and we were never able to get too far."
That stuck with the fiery playmaker because few people understood Southington's storied history better than McNicholas. She rarely missed a high school game as a young girl accompanying her father to soccer and basketball games after school in the 1980s.
By the second and third grades, she had already joined a nucleus of girls that were to be the core of Southington's teams as the program entered the 1990s. By the time she reached DePaolo Junior High School, her teams were knocking off opponents like a well-oiled machine. Undefeated seasons were commonplace, and McNicholas was a central figure.
At home, she threw herself into pickup games against the boys in her neighborhood, holding her own against boys that would go on to become high school stars.
"It really helped my mental toughness," she said. "There was no separation between the sexes or the ages. When you get a little bit older, it comes into play. When I played at DePaolo, I could tell that boys didn't like to play against a girl. It wasn't that I was more of a threat than anybody else, but you could tell."
McNicholas never shied away from a challenge, whether it was batting as a switch hitter in a crucial at bat or helping her soccer team overcome an injury to an all-state teammate. That might be why every program improved when she entered the lineup. The soccer team returned to the top of their conference. The softball team captured another state title.
But it was on the hard court that McNicholas really made her presence known. She stepped into the basketball lineup as a sophomore point guard and by the midpoint of her senior year had established herself as the school's all-time assist leader.
"She took charge of the team, and she distributed the ball well, but she was a better shooter than she gave herself credit for," said Piazza. "Joe Daddio would always try to get her to take more shots, but Meghan was the type of kid that would rather make that great pass than take the shot."
She could dribble with both hands. She could pass, and she could see the floor. She was the leading defender and worked her way up to co-captain as a senior. As a sophomore and junior, McNicholas' teams lost in the Class LL championship game. It wasn't until they captured the title as a senior that McNicholas was finally happy.
She scored the first four baskets in the championship game, and Southington rallied to a 65-51 over Glastonbury to break a three-year title drought.
"To me, if you don't make the state championship it's only an okay season," she said. "We lost two years in a row in the finals to Bristol Eastern, and that was huge. I remember walking out to the center of the court at Central with Debbie Suess, and I said that there was no way in the world that we were leaving with a loss. I think we all knew it before we even stepped onto the court."
McNicholas' efforts earned her a spot in Southington lore on a short list of athletes that have won state titles in multiple sports, but it also brought her individual attention. When news of the Southington guard reached college scouts, they began to pour into the high school gym. They followed her in summer leagues and watched her compete on Junior Olympic teams.
By the end of her sophomore year, a handful of colleges had already shown interest. By the start of her senior season, Assumption College had won the bidding war. The Greyhounds offered McNicholas a full scholarship, and the Southington guard embraced the challenge.
"There were a couple of schools that I had offers from, but I knew that I was going to play at Assumption," she said. "I knew that it was close enough that my parents could come and see me play. I liked the school when I went up to visit it, and I wanted everybody to be able to come up and watch."
It was worth the trip for Southington fans. McNicholas still ranks among the top 20 in games played (105) for the Greyhounds. As a senior, she collected 104 assists including a 10-assist performance against Quinnipiac. Her 320 career assists still ranks No. 8 all time at the school.
It was no surprise that the Southington Sports Hall of Fame selection committee chose McNicholas to be inducted into the local hall of fame. On Thursday, Nov. 14, she will be honored in an induction ceremony at the Aqua Turf in Plantsville.
"It's totally humbling. That's the perfect word for it, and it's pretty neat," she said. "I'm honored. I think it's a big deal, and I worked really hard for it."
Nobody would disagree.

Overview of the Met Office
Learn about the origins of the Met Office; key moments in our history, and where we are today.
Transcript of 'Who is the Met Office?'
Our origins
In 1854 an experimental government department, which was later to become the Met Office, was set up under the Board of Trade. Its aim was to research the possibilities of forecasting the weather, mainly to protect the safety of ships and their crew at sea.
Distinguished naval captain, Robert FitzRoy, was chosen to head up the department. He had already enjoyed an illustrious career at sea, including commanding the HMS Beagle on its five-year world voyage which served as inspiration for Charles Darwin's defining work On the origin of species.
His job under the new department was to establish meteorology as a science and he set about developing the fundamental techniques of modern weather forecasting. He was spurred on by tragedies such as the sinking of the Royal Charter in 1859 - wrecked off the coast of Anglesey in a fearsome storm with the loss of nearly all of the 500 passengers on board.
FitzRoy developed the first storm warning service, achieved by using canvas covered frames in different shapes to alert ships to dangers - these were lit up by fires at night so they could give warnings at any time. He also pioneered techniques for forecasting weather such as synoptic charts, where weather observations taken at the same time were drawn on a map to aid forecasting - a technique still used today. FitzRoy's work laid the foundations for the Met Office's future at the forefront of this 'new science'.
Major landmarks in our history
From our early beginnings, we developed capabilities rapidly to create ever more advanced forecasts. Staying on the leading edge of technology has been central to this progress, and the introduction of wireless telegraphy on ships in 1909 was a major milestone. This allowed observations and forecasts to be quickly transmitted, significantly improving the service the office could offer.
Ministry of Defence
During the First World War, it was recognised that understanding the weather and being able to forecast it could help provide a military edge, supporting operations and improving safety. For this reason, the office was taken under the wing of the Air Ministry, later the Ministry of Defence, after the war - establishing our status as a vital service for the UK's Armed Forces.
D-Day landings during the Second World War
The weather was crucial to the Allied Forces's success for the D-Day landings in June 1944. General Eisenhower's chief meteorologist, Group Captain John Stagg, a Met Office forecaster, advised of a narrow 'weather window' for the operation to go ahead: "probably the only day during the month of June on which the operations could have been launched," President Truman later said.
Storm Surge
In 1953, an intense area of low pressure and storm surge combined to cause catastrophic coastal flooding with huge loss of life along North Sea coasts in Britain and Holland. This led to the setting up of the Storm Tide Forecasting Service to give advance warning of such events in the future. It also prompted the planning and construction of the Thames Barrier.
Technology - computers and satellites
In 1959 the Met Office bought our first computer, a Ferranti Mercury, capable of doing 30,000 calculations a second. This allowed us to take a major step forward with our forecasting, making numerical based predictions possible for the first time. From this point on, advancing technology and increasing computer capacity has played a key role in making our forecasts increasingly accurate.
In the 1960s, the satellite revolution provided a quantum leap in weather forecasting providing a bird's-eye of how the atmosphere moves. In 1977 the first European weather satellite, Meteosat 1, was launched - once again pushing forward the boundaries of meteorology.
Aviation and severe weather
In 1984 the Met Office was named as a World Area Forecasting Centre (WAFC) for civil aviation, one of only two centres along with Washington to provide forecasts for flying at high altitude. After the storm of 15/16 October in 1987, we began the National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS) for the UK. This provides warnings to the general public to protect life and property from the effects of severe weather.
Climate change
In 1990 the Met Office Hadley Centre was opened, creating a dedicated centre for research of the Earth's climate. It quickly established a world-leading reputation, producing pioneering research in the arena of climate change and providing vital advice to UK and world governments. By working with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, our expertise has helped shape global policy on tackling climate change and adapting to its effects.
The Met Office today
As a world leader in providing weather and climate services, we employ more than 1,700 at 60 locations throughout the world. We are a Trading Fund within the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), operating on a commercial basis under set targets. We are recognised as one of the world's most accurate forecasters, using more than 10 million weather observations a day, an advanced atmospheric model and a high performance supercomputer to create 3,000 tailored forecasts and briefings a day. These are delivered to a huge range of customers from the Government, to businesses, the general public, armed forces, and other organisations.
Public services
This includes the Public Weather Service (PWS), which provides forecasts for the public to help them make informed decisions about their day-to-day activities. The National Severe Weather Warning Service is also a part of this, providing advance notice of weather which could affect public safety.
We are now working with the NHS to provide information on how the weather affects hospital admissions and helping them manage workloads. We can also help people with certain medical conditions, advising them when the weather could affect their health, helping them to stay healthy and out of hospital.
Transport and business
Our range of services for transport includes tailored advice on how the weather will affect roads, air and sea travel. We also provide detailed information to a broad range of businesses which can be affected by the weather, from how it will affect the demand for electricity and gas, to how it will affect sales of high street products.
Defence and Government
Our work in the area of defence includes providing forecasts for military operations anywhere in the world, often supported by Met Office forecasters working in theatre with our armed forces. Our advice helps the military make strategic decisions, plan operations and safeguard service personnel from the worst effects of the weather, such as heat stress.
We also provide a range of services for the Government. This includes environmental monitoring advice on the predicted spread of insect-borne diseases such as bluetongue, to toxic or hazardous fumes, or even volcanic ash.
Climate change
Climate change has become an increasingly important issue and our research continues to create an ever clearer picture of how it will affect the planet and our lives. This plays a vital role in providing evidence to support climate predictions which show the planet is now locked into at least 2 °C of warming and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are required to ensure this does not rise further for future generations.
With this in mind, we have been providing tailored advice and services for a range of clients to help them begin adapting to the consequences of climate change. This has included projects focusing on defence, transport, energy, water supply, defence, flooding, health, and a host of other issues. We will continue to use our expertise to further understanding of climate change, as well as offering advice on how to mitigate the risks and adapt to its consequences.

May is approaching.
May is approaching.
There is actually a daily announcement here over breakfast each morning about how close we are to it.
Charlotte checks the calendar every morning and notifies us just how many days away we are.
May is her birthday month as well as Olivia's and Molly's.
Charlotte and Molly's birthdays are back-to-back. Cake on the 5th and more on the 6th.
Olivia's isn't until the end of the month so we get a little reprieve from frosting, thankfully.
Charlotte has some grand plans for her birthday. She wants to re-do her room and have a sleepover with numerous girls.
She has mentioned a spa day, some shopping and I think I heard a dinner out somewhere in there.
Molly will be 4. Her wishes are more manageable. She wants a Fresh Beat Band cake. (That's her favorite show) and she too would like to have a sleepover party although I keep trying to explain to her that none of her little 3- and 4-year-old friends' mommies would allow them to sleep over nor would I, but she continues to babble on and on about it.
Olivia will be 10 and I cannot express enough to anyone how much this both blows my mind that it has been a decade since her birth and shatters my heart into itty bitty pieces.
How that happened and the rate of speed at which it moved finds me desperately grasping onto the small grains of time slowly slipping between my fingers.
She is getting older. Daily. And my heart breaks. Daily.
She is an eavesdropper. Always has been. And our house is so very tiny. She hears it all.
And she knows when money is tight which is — well — always.
She never asks for anything. Ever. And I know there are things she would like because I was her age once too, yet she never asks for a thing.
This saddens me sometimes. Part of me wishes she would act like a selfish kid.
Sometimes, I wish she would dream big, even though she knows that we couldn't make it happen.
I hope she does. I truly do.
Her birthday plans are minimal. She wants one or two of her friends to spend the night. Probably a cake and a favorite meal.
Nothing spectacular. Nothing like her sister, who has images of engraved invitations dancing in her head.
Charlotte is my kid who is so hard to please. She gets a picture in her head and when it doesn't quite work out for her, she is overwhelmed with disappointment.
This makes her landing back to earth really hard and uncomfortable not only for her, but for all of us.
But Olivia always lands on her feet softly. Maybe keeping her expectations low is part of what makes her so easy to please.
Sometimes, I think that at almost 10 she is wiser than I and so very graceful.

More Charges Announced In NY Insider Trading Probe
The two new arrests and the announcement of two guilty pleas expanded a federal crackdown on insider trading that masks itself as legitimate market research. The case raised the number charged in the probe to 12. The Securities and Exchange Commission said the conspiracy earned more than $30 million in illegal profits.
"Shred as much as u can," one of the men wrote to another in a string of electronic messages that were traded after they saw news reports describing U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's assault on Wall Street insider trading, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. One of the four told investigators he even destroyed computer drives and scattered the pieces in several garbage trucks.
Bharara on Tuesday promised more arrests, saying "we are far from finished."
The investigation was revealed in the fall and has so far concentrated on a group of hedge fund portfolio managers who authorities say tried to learn inside information about public companies through contacts at a California-based public research firm, Primary Global Research. The company boasted of its research results, but authorities say it sometimes specialized in linking corrupt employees of public companies willing to prematurely divulge earnings results or acquisition announcements with hedge fund managers eager for a trading edge.
FBI Assistant Director Janice K. Fedarcyk said the latest charges exposed the cynicism of what some call market research.
"When you are paying insiders for earnings data before it's announced, that isn't 'research.' That's cheating." she said.
In court papers, charges were outlined against Samir Barai, 38, who owned a New York-based hedge fund company that bears his name; Donald Longueuil, 34; Noah Freeman, 34; and Jason Pflaum, 37. Freeman and Longueuil were described as hedge fund portfolio managers while Pflaum was described as a research analyst. Freeman lived in Boston while the others reside in Manhattan. Authorities said the men carried out their conspiracy from 2006 to 2010.
A criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday said Pflaum has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and securities fraud in a cooperation deal that calls for him to receive a reduced sentence if he is helpful. Freeman has also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud in a similar deal aimed at leniency.
Longueuil was released on a $1.5 million bond signed by his mother and fiancee during a brief court appearance where he didn't enter a plea or speak. Barai was released on $1 million bail.
In all, authorities say the men worked for six hedge funds and obtained and shared illegal secrets about at least six publicly traded companies to reap millions of dollars in illegal profits.
Bharara called the latest charges "a sad chronicle not only of criminal conduct but also its brazen cover-up." He added: "And the lengths to which two of these defendants went to cover their tracks sounds like something out a bad movie."
The FBI said in court papers that Barai and Longueuil were charged with obstruction of justice in addition to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, charges more routinely filed to describe insider trading crimes.
It said it based the obstruction charge in part on evidence it gathered after it seized a laptop computer used by Pflaum, files from Pflaum's desktop computer and an audio recorder that Barai used to record consensual telephone conversations with Winifred Jiau, a former Primary Global Research consultant charged in the case last year.
Jiau, 43, who was brought to New York from California, made her first court appearance in Manhattan on Tuesday. She was ordered held without bail after prosecutors argued in court papers that as a U.S. citizen born in Taiwan, she "has significant, long-term and ongoing ties to Taiwan."
According to the complaint, Barai and Longueuil in November tried to destroy digital records and documents reflecting their receipt of inside information from employees at public companies and their sharing of inside information with each other and Freeman.
The complaint said Barai sent Pflaum instant messages including: "So what if we talked to anyone ... They need proof that we acted on something ... And its hard to have that ... The more I think about it - just not enough clues to hold something on us ... so we're ok." At another point, the FBI said Barai sent the following messages: "I think U just go into office ... shred as much as u can." At the time, the complaint said, Pflaum was already cooperating with authorities.
Fedarcyk said at a news conference that the messages were important evidence.
"For all their presumed sophistication, they lacked a mobster's better-honed instincts for conversational discretion," Fedarcyk said.
Prosecutors also said Longueuil heard news reports and then destroyed the flash drive on which he had logged his conversations with company insiders. The complaint said he later recounted to Freeman, who already was cooperating with investigators, how he "chopped up" the flash drive and two external drives with pliers before putting the pieces in plastic bags and tossing them in four different garbage trucks during a 2 a.m., 20-block walk around the city.
"On this account, Longueuil certainly seems to have been scrupulously if incriminatingly truthful," Fedarcyk said. "FBI video surveillance tape corroborates his own story of the clandestine late-night disposal of evidence."
Around the same time, investigators say instant messages show Barai instructed Pflaum to give him a laptop so he could do a "department of defense delete" on it - a reference to deletions that can't be restored.
Said Bharara: "Generally speaking, when people begin frantically shredding documents and deleting computer files and smashing flash drives and chasing garbage trucks at two in the morning, it's not because they have been operating legitimately - it's because they have broken the law."

Two men charged in a string of armed robberies against six people, including a Cook County prosecutor and a sheriff's employee, were caught after police say two of the victims saw the license plate on the getaway car.
Alexander Vesey, 35, and Marcus Washington, 34, were arrested Thursday after two men gave police a description of the getaway car of the group that robbed them, along with a license plate number.
Police are still looking for other suspects in three robberies identified by police as part of a pattern of crimes, Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Denise Loiterstein said.
Judge Jackie Portman set bail today at $400,000 for Vesey, who is charged with armed robbery, attempted robbery and aggravated battery, and at $300,000 for Washington, who faces charges of armed robbery with a firearm.
Vesey, of the 3100 block of West Washington Boulevard, was involved in four robberies, on Aug. 21, Sept. 4, Sept. 6 and Sept. 8, while Washington, of the 5300 block of West Van Buren Street, is charged only in the first incident, prosecutors said.
On Aug. 21, Vesey and an armed Washington, along with a third person, approached two men in a garage in the 2200 block of West Polk Avenue, taking an unspecified amount of money, before running away, Loiterstein said.
Two weeks later, on Sept. 4, a Cook County Sheriff's employee was opening his garage in the 6200 block of North Leona Avenue when Vesey and another offender demanded at gunpoint that he hand over his wallet. The employee then yelled for police and then punched in the face before Vesey and the other offender ran away, Loiterstein said.
An Assistant State's Attorney was parking her car Sept. 6 in the parking lot at home in the 2600 block of West Chicago Avenue when Vesey threatened her with a gun, punched her in the face – breaking her nose – and robbed her of her purse, Loiterstein said.
In the Sept. 8 armed robbery, Vesey, accompanied by another unknown person, held up two men in a parking garage in the 4600 block of West Schubert Avenue, taking their money and cell phones.
The victims were able to give police a description and license plate number for a green, four-door Kia that the offenders were driving, police said.
A little more than an hour later, police stopped Washington in the Kia in the 5300 block of West Gladys Avenue, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez. Vesey was found and arrested in the 100 block of North Kedzie Avenue about 5 p.m. Thursday, Perez said.
Grand Central Area detectives, issued a community alert earlier this week warning of a series of robberies in open garages or alleys in the area, identified them as matching the description of robbers wanted in those incidents. Detectives placed Vesey and Washington in a lineup, where police said they were identified by victims and witnesses, and they were charged in connection with at least some of those incidents.
During Saturday's court hearing, Assistant Public Defender Travis Milton was granted a request that Vesey be evaluated for mental health issues.
Both men are scheduled to appear in court next on Sept. 15.

Lady Luck is a Monster Truck which still has that new-car smell to it.
Lady Luck is a Monster Truck which still has that new-car smell to it.
Driven by Jocelyn Perrin of Coopersville and sponsored by Soaring Eagle Casino, Lady Luck made only its second appearance ever during Friday's Monster Truck Throwdown at the Ionia Free Fair.
Sporting its clean fresh paint job and parts that are still clean with a sheen, Perrin's ride was the slickest among six Monster Trucks competing in three different grandstand events. With over 23 years of Monster Truck driving experience, Perrin is considered the leading lady in the circuit. Her husband, Todd, serves as crew chief and lead mechanic for the new vehicle which is valued at more than $100,000.
"My husband Todd built a lot of it himself," Jocelyn Perrin said. "He owns it and I drive it."
The Perrins sold their former ride, Certified Hot, and jumped right into the new and improved monster truck named Lady Luck.
"Having a new truck is very important, because of all the technology that is available nowadays," Jocelyn Perrin said. "This truck has a good, smooth ride."
Lady Luck was one of six Monster Trucks competing in three different showcase events Friday.
Perrin and Lady Luck competed against Avenger, Wrecking Crew, Nitemare, Ice Cream Man and Razin' Kane. The events included a wheelie competition, time trial race and a freestyle showcase.
Avenger, driven by Jim Koehler, was stealing the show early. Koehler, a two-time series champion, started the evening out by putting a lot of air underneath Avenger's massive tires to win the wheelie competition.
The Monster Truck Throwdown drew several hundred fans. They were treated to an evening of high-flying power, 10,000-pound, car-crushing action and roaring super-charged engines that delivered 1,800 horsepower.
Local businesses supporting the Monster Truck Throwdown at the Free Fair included North Star Ranch Inc., US 27 Motor Sports, 18 Design and Feehan & Sons Excavating.

... I ... good afternoon and welcome to Opinion Journal why Mary Kissel ... the Labor Department announced in these last hours that on the planet has ticked down to seven point five percent ... that's still a pretty lousy number but my next guest says ... he sees some positive signs editorial board member Steve Moore is on the line now from Washington ... Steven M but the charge here showing on inquiries for Hispanics blacks ... teens in some cases double digit figures ... what's the good news here ... a ... great price to marry him by the way ... for the twelve million people were still unemployed and a six million sixty eight million Americans who get tied up all kinds of the probably asking the same question what why the wild party on the Wall Street by the way ... the market is way up today I played briefly though the Dow briefly broke fifteen thousand for the first time ever ... selling out that I think that that this kind of blah of a breath of relief ... for a lot of people thought the economy might stall on again ... now we get CEO we've been averaging now because they the upwardly revise the numbers from previous months Mary so we've been averaging out for the last of three to six months about two hundred thousand new jobs a month as the greatest reason to celebrate but it is about to start praying and the unemployment rate down with the most important points TPC can look in a single number eat you have to look at the trendline ... um what is happening in private sector job growth versus public sector job growth ... well you know this is the grade that kind of good news story here is that this this is Mary are starting to employ people or people again as the longtime announcement ... of the this is where I think the Keynesians and the Obama Economists have the story all wrong ... they put out of the press release today saying oh my gosh if we get the ball this fiscal restraint right now we didn't have the supply store yelling even add more jobs than the truth is I'd I'd conclude just the opposite I think what is going on here Marius were seeing the government for the first time in five years actually received a little bit shrank a little bit ... that is a good thing that's freeing up resources for the private sector ... and and so I think which are getting is gonna read shrinkage than a little bit of private sector expansion that's the that's just what the doctor orders had seemed credible Steve rightly mind that the his Phoenix pyramid in our modern history for use in a terrible growth ... the first time the government cut cuts back to the little that we get these guys like green shoots ... however ... I do I wanna ask you got a slightly worrying number it's the part time unemployment number ... I it's increasing what does that tell you ... yet this was the one big negative in a report ... Mary is that there was a big increase of between two hundred and three hundred thousand additional Americans who are officially counted as employed but they couldn't find a full-time job is that I just estimated that numbers between six eight million total of economy right now ... and I believe this is connected to Obamacare because ... as you know if you hire for someone who for over thirty hours a week they are officially under Obamacare are considered a full time employee and that Mary you have to give them the full arsenal of Obamacare health care coverage which for small businesses that are still struggling to make a profit ... total costs they cannot absorb for most or least people that have part-time unemployment we also we've seen ... labor force participation rate stock in the late nineteen seventies Apple's deep ... into its really a puzzle if we are actually ... in a very slow but steady recovery here why isn't that number improving ... that's a great question I mean this is also unprecedented at least for the last fifty years I've never seen this before where you actually have ... you know you're on a recovery in the jobs are being created and yet very people up on removing themselves from the labor force red normally get the opposite actually in the eighties you got huge numbers of people were entered the workforce is job became more plentiful so this is a mystery to us we just haven't ever seen that before in recent decades and Steve what effect does that have on the American economy ... to have a nineteen seventy nine ish levels ... of labor force participation make the tangible for our viewers ... well it very simple Mary ... you know the the the economy grows to do two things the productivity of American workers and the number of Americans that are working and when you don't have the big increase in the labor force people producing things you're not Guinea get the kind of ... strong growth that you wanna see and that's why were stock in this to get to one a half percent ... growth of Dr which is which is ok but we should be doing much much better okay stock and growth right at some green shoots some good signs editorial board member Steve Moore ... thank so much for being with us ...

Jockey Jose Lezcano gets a return call on Kays and Jays, a daughter of Macho Uno that finished fifth in the La Brea Stakes (G1) at Santa Anita on Dec. 26. In a previous foray to South Florida last summer, Kays and Jays also showed she liked the dirt surface at Calder, finishing a game second in the $200,000 Azalea Stakes (G3) on Summit of Speed day, July 11.
A daughter of Malibu Moon, Pinkarella comes back in the Inside Information with Elvis Trujillo to ride, a trainer-jockey combination that clicked in 2007 with Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) winner Maryfield. Pinkarella had finished eighth in the La Brea over the Pro-Ride synthetic surface at Santa Anita prior to the Gulfstream allowance score.
Winning the Azalea last summer by three-quarters of a length was Andrew Rosen's First Passage and the 4-year-old daughter of Giant's Causeway is entered in the Inside Information to make her first start since an unlucky fourth-place finish in the Test Stakes (G1) at Saratoga on Aug. 8 with jockey John Velazquez in the saddle for trainer Marty Wolfson.
First Passage was a $1.2 million Keeneland September yearling purchase and finished unplaced in her only start as a 2-year-old at Newmarket in England for trainer Brian Meehan. She re-appeared at Gulfstream in the care of Wolfson last winter, breaking her maiden and finishing second in an allowance race.
First Passage won a pair of stakes at Calder prior to the Azalea and may have been best in the seven-furlong Test when she missed the break and fell back to last of eight down the backstretch before rallying to finish fourth, beaten only 1 ¾ lengths for it all by Godolphin's Flashing.
A challenge coming from another direction for the Inside Information is Fisher Wallace Stable's 4-year-old filly Cuvee Uncorked shipping in from Delaware Park for trainer Timothy Walters, with jockey Ricky Frazier coming in to ride. The daughter of Cuvee just missed last out finishing third in the seven-furlong Barbara Fritchie Handicap (G2) at Laurel Park on Feb. 15, beaten a head for it all.
Completing the field of 10 fillies and mares are Edelberg Racing's Honchis'n Ponchis, Jesus Castanon; Tom Walters' Pretty Prolific, Edgar Prado; Joseph Sutton's Warbling, Julien Leparoux; Timothy O'Toole's Saratoga Tango, Javier Castellano; Windmill Manor Farm's Thunders Dove, Paco Lopez; and Alex Rankin's Tar Heel Mom, Alan Garcia.
Also to be run on Sunday's card will be the $75,000 Sunshine State Stakes for Florida-bred older horses at seven furlongs with a wide-open field of eight drawn and Patriot Stable's 5-year-old Famous Patriot among the choices with Javier Castellano to ride for trainer Tim Hills.
Famous Patriot is a son of Repent that ran well to finish third behind Bold Start and Gentleman James in a strong one-mile allowance race last out on Feb. 21 after dueling for the lead to the upper stretch in his first start since late September at Belmont Park.
Completing the field are Ione and Herb Elkins' Dream Maestro, My Purple Haze Stable'S Mannington, Rancho Alegre's Unbridled Heat, Bruno Schickedanz' Good General, Luis Olivares' Green Vegas, Thomas Ryan's Tommy's Memory and DeBill Racing's Big Push.

STAINLESS RACING MANIFOLD HEADER/EXHAUST 04-07 SCION TOYOTA xA xB WAGON HB/BASE ITEM SKU: HDS-XAXB
High Performance Stainless Steel Header Exhaust
Getting more air into your engine and more exhaust out is the key to a performance motor. That's where exhaust headers is significant as the first revenue of an exhaust system. Exhaust performance headers manipulate the air flow with the performance-robbing exhaust manifold that came with your car. Headers provide each cylinder with its own mini exhaust pipe, which means exhaust headers prevent interference among cylinders; thus, the backpressure that occurs in common exhaust manifolds. When cylinders don't have to fight with each other to expel their exhaust, they can put more power through the wheels, pushing the vehicle. Combining with a high performance cold air intake, and a cat-back exhaust system, a header system removes all restrictions of your engine, then, it is able to perform at its full potential

Back in 1992, the producers of Sesame Street created a segment on divorce to serve the nearly 40% of children who come from affected homes. After much research and several revisions, Mr. Snuffleupagus was chosen to be the child struggling with sadness over his parents' recent split. However, when the segment was shown to children, it bombed. Rather than soothing, it created confusion and fear, and the segment was scrapped, according to Tumblr Storyboard.
Plus: Discipline After Divorce
Now producers are trying again. In a series of segments available on sesamestreet.org starting today, fairy Abby Cadabby is revealed as a child of a divorce that happened some time ago. She happily draws pictures of her two houses, and explains to Elmo that she lives at one with her mommy and at the other with her daddy. In another segment, which seems to flash back to an earlier time, Abby worries the divorce is her fault, but Gordon reassures her that divorce is about adult problems. In the next segment segment, Abby confidently says she knows her parents will love her and take care of her no matter what. Other segments show real kids dealing with divorce, moves, and blended families.
Plus: Books for Modern Families: Divorce, Adoption and More

VANCEBORO � A fire heavily damaged a home on Kite Town Road Easter Sunday while the owners were at church.
VANCEBORO � A fire heavily damaged a home on Kite Town Road Easter Sunday while the owners were at church.
Ira Whitford, Craven County assistant fire marshal, said Pittman Fillingame Jr. and his wife Lorain were the owners of the house and were attending church when the fire started at about 9:30 a.m. No one else was in the residence.
When firefighters arrived on the scene, flames were coming out of the rear of the one-story house, Whitford said.
Volunteer firefighters from Vanceboro and Little Swift Creek quickly contained the fire to a bedroom and extinguished it, Whitford said.
�It was a fast knockdown on the fire,� he said. �It was confined to one room. The rest of the house sustained heavy smoke and heat damage.�
Vanceboro Rescue was also on the scene.
The fire is still under investigation, but Whitford said it is not thought to be suspicious at this time.
The home is located near the intersection of U.S. 17 and Oak Grove Road on Kite Town Road.
The American Red Cross was called in to assist the family, Whitford said.

KALAMAZOO—Two Western Michigan University faculty members have been selected to receive the College of Fine Arts Dean's Teaching Award, recognizing them as "learner-centered, award-winning faculty artists."
Nichole Maury, associate professor of art, and Dr. David Montgomery, a master faculty specialist in the School of Music and director of the Bronco Marching Band, were nominated by students and participated in a teaching review process. That process required submission of a teaching portfolio with clear evidence of student learning outcomes. Candidates also had to undergo an observation of their teaching and an interview with Dr. Margaret Merrion, dean of the WMU College of Fine Arts.
Every year, about 10 faculty members are nominated by students, alumni, peers and even community members. In Montgomery's case, community members and directors of high school bands noted his outstanding work with the Bronco Marching Band and other sports bands, including hockey and basketball.
Nichole Maury
Maury joined the Frostic School of Art in 2005. She earned a master's degree in printmaking from the University of Iowa and a bachelor's degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Prior to coming to WMU, she taught monoprint and lithography at Iowa State University and worked at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art.
An accomplished printmaker, Maury routinely sees to it that her students seek study abroad opportunities, submit their work for juried exhibitions and attend professional conferences. In this award, she was recognized for advancing distinctive learning opportunities—a goal of the academic affairs strategic plan.
David Montgomery
Montgomery came to WMU in 2004 from Kansas State University, where he was working as a graduate teaching assistant and had earned a master's degree in music education. He received his bachelor's degree in music education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Frequently, people want to know how they should cite Wikipedia in other works.
- As with any source, especially those of unknown authorship, you should be wary and independently verify the accuracy of Wikipedia information if possible; see also our General Disclaimer page.
Wiki is an unusual form of media, and as such doesn't conform well to the usual book citation formats. Wiki is not paper, so you will need to use an electronic format instead. The exact citation format will depend upon the citation style guide that you are following, but here are a few general principles to consider:
- You should not cite any particular author or authors for a Wikipedia article, in general. Wikipedia is collaboratively written. However, if you do need to find the list of authors of a particular article, you can check the Page history.
- Your citation should normally list both the article title and Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia, much as you would for an article in a paper publication.
- The citation should normally include the full date and time of the article revision you are using, since the page may well change radically between you viewing it and somebody following your reference. This can be found by clicking the Page history link at the left and looking at the time of the topmost revision (times are in Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC, unless you have logged in and entered an offset in your preferences).
- Most citation styles will likely require the full article URL. If greater brevity is desired, however, you may optionally include just the Wikipedia URL (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/ for an English article) since the article URL can be inferred from the article title.
- Many citation styles also request the date on which you retrieved the page. However, we suggest omitting this if your style guide allows since the inclusion of the revision date (above) makes the retrieval date unimportant.
- Each Wikipedia article should normally be a separate citation.
The following examples assume you are citing the Wikipedia article on Plagiarism, using the version that was submitted on July 22, 2004, at 10:55 UTC (see the page history for this information), and that you accessed the article through the World Wide Web on August 10, 2004.

Fred Willard's improv series is a wipeout with ABC.
The network is pulling the last two original episodes of "Trust Us With Your Life," a move that comes two weeks after Willard's lewd-conduct arrest at an adult-movie theater.
Reruns of ABC's "Wipeout" will replace the Tuesday show hosted by Willard. The 72-year-old actor already had lost his job as narrator of PBS series, "Market Warriors."
In an appearance last week on Jimmy Fallon's late-night show, Willard said he was embarrassed by his July 18 arrest but insisted he had done nothing wrong.
The Los Angeles City Attorney's office determined that Willard's case was eligible for a diversion program that will keep him from being formally charged with lewd conduct if he completes the required courses.

A professor of the history of Christianity, the popular author and distinguished broadcaster/commentator Eamon Duffy has written this slim but fascinating history—based on a series on BBC—of the ten pontiffs he deems the most influential. Many of the church's powerful spiritual leaders have played a major role not only throughout church history but the political history of Europe and, in fact, the wider world. The author profiles the following: St. Peter; Leo the Great; Gregory the Great; Gregory VII; Pius IX; Pius XII; John XXIII and John Paul II, the first non-Italian pope in 450 years.
"The papacy has endured and flourished," Duffy notes, "under emperors, kings and robber barons, under republican senates and colonial occupations, in confrontation or collaboration with demagogues and democrats…and survived them all." "The popes themselves," he adds, have never been in doubt about the coherence of papal history." The book is enlivened by dozens of black-and-white illustrations (engravings, photographs, sketches) depicting key events and places throughout pontifical history. These include, e.g., the granite Egyptian obelisk erected in 37 A.D. and believed to be the last object seen by the dying St. Peter. Others feature St. Gregory at his writing desk; an engraving of the Council of Trent in full session; Angelo Giuseppi Roncalli (the future "good Pope John") as military chaplain and, later, as John XXIII with Queen Elizabeth II; and John Paul II with the Dalai Lama as well as praying at Jerusalem's Western Wall. At book's end Duffy provides a helpful bibliography of recommended readings for each of the 10 popes profiled.
We hope you pick up a copy of this intriguing book and enjoy Duffy's portraits of his favorite papal movers and shakers.

There is an ancient story that depicts a man entering the gates of heaven. Once inside he discovers nothing but a place to sit facing a huge wall. When he asks his escort, St. Peter, for an explanation, Peter says, "You have but entered the antechamber of paradise. Paradise itself is on the other side of the wall. An opening in the wall will appear, but only once a year. It could emerge at any time: possibly in the next hour, possibly in many months. Keep vigil and watch. If you miss it, your waiting will continue."
There are two striking similarities between this man's situation and our own. First, like the man who has already passed the gates of heaven, we too are already saved, already sisters and brothers of the Lord and blessed by his Spirit. And yet we wait for the consummation of that salvation. We wait for the second coming, and in a very real sense we are in exile from the Lord (1 Pt 2:11). Today we begin Advent. In this month-long season, we prepare to celebrate the incarnation of the Word made flesh, the coming of our salvation. And yet our Advent Gospel reading is apocalyptic, anticipating the second coming. Jesus predicts "signs in the sun and the stars," where "the powers of heaven will be shaken."
The first and second comings have everything to do with each other. We could say that the end time itself began with the incarnation. Christ is God's final word to humanity (Heb 1:1–3) and his presence is destined to be the "fall and rise of many in Israel" (Lk 2:34). Jesus says in the Gospel today that those who resist him will experience "dismay" and be "perplexed" (literally, "panicked"). The faithful, in contrast, are invited to "stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand." We need not fear the second coming, but can anticipate it with great hope and joy. Indeed, the joy of Christmas includes the anticipated joy of the second coming.
Given these considerations, what kind of posture should we assume during Advent? Jesus commands us to avoid being "drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of life." Rather, "Be vigilant at all times." Like the man before the walls of paradise, we prayerfully watch.
Being prayerful and attentive brings us to the second way the opening story resonates with our own situation. A state of spiritual vigilance is exactly what we ought to cultivate during this period between the first and second comings. As many wisdom figures in our tradition have insisted, God often blesses us with opportunities to know him more intimately, but we can easily miss them by simply not paying attention. It is hard to be alert, to be present to the moment with a spacious heart. It is hard not to let "the anxieties of daily life" absorb us. It is easy to get lost in the minutiae of endless tasks and plans, many of them unnecessary.
When a student knocks on my door unexpectedly, I am welcoming, of course, but sometimes my first thought is, "How long is this going to take?" Could not the Lord desire to speak to me in this encounter? Could I be unknowingly entertaining an angel (Heb 13:2)? What is the quality of my presence when I am preoccupied? Not great, that's for sure. I need to remind myself that my experience of God (or lack thereof) here and now not only has everything to do with the quality of my spiritual life but also represents the very foundations of my future life with God.
Advent invites us to do more than simply commemorate Christmas; it invites us to embrace a larger vision. Advent draws us to prepare to live the mystery of the Word made flesh here and now. Life is Advent. Perhaps this can be our daily reflection in this season: "Trust in the Lord and wait for his light; for it is easy in the eyes of the Lord suddenly, in an instant, to make the poor rich" (Sir 11:21).

This spring, many factors should be considered to maximize applied phosphorus (P) fertilizer efficiency. One often-overlooked factor is the interaction between P and zinc (Zn). Adequate, available Zn is necessary for crops to optimally use applied P.
North American soils have critically low (or below) Zn nutrient levels – as proven in the 2010 International Plant Nutrition Institute's (IPNI) study of soil test levels in North America. Knowing of these deficiencies makes balancing soil nutrients a top-concern for growers. The IPNI 2010 research includes 4.4 million samples and 63 laboratories across all regions. Of those samples 37 percent showed less than 1 ppm Zn and 16 percent less than 0.5 ppm Zn.
"These regional trends are quite apparent," says Paul Fixen, Ph.D., IPNI's senior vice president and director of research. "Look at the upper Northern Great Plains area; this is the lowest phosphorus region in North America."
Crops need zinc?
Yes. Don't forget the Zn. Micronutrients, including Zn, are essential for overall plant
health and optimum yield.
Many studies in corn and dry beans have shown high soil P availability can induce Zn deficiencies when Zn soil test is low. Research indicates P effects on depressing Zn uptake are physiological in nature and are not due to Zn inactivation or fixation in the soil. In high P environments, isotope studies also have shown Zn may concentrate at the root surface but does not move into the plant. In high-yield environments with high P availability, negative interactions of P with metallic micronutrients should be anticipated; steps should be taken to ensure micronutrient availability is adequate (e.g. Zn in starter fertilizer placed close to the row or with the seed). 1, 2
Protect nutrients against fertility challenges
Researchers estimate as much as 75 to 95 percent of applied P fertilizer becomes fixed in the soil, making it unavailable for plant use3. Despite these challenges, growers still are expected to produce prosperous crops.
To do so, nutrients must be applied at optimal levels to avoid deficiency, while maintaining manageable input costs. Even short-term deficiencies, especially early in the growing season, can result in significant yield reductions. Retailers, crop consultants and growers alike should know the importance of nutrient management, how each element affects the bottom line and the available tools to help protect P fertilizer investments. To help ensure adequate P availability and uptake, many growers throughout North America use SFP's AVAIL® Phosphorus Fertilizer Enhancer with their P fertilizer applications.
"Modern agricultural innovations continue to give growers the ability to produce high yields while maximizing resources and nutrients," says Barney Gordon, Ph.D., agronomic consultant and emeritus professor in Kansas State University's department of agronomy. "Despite weather variables, efficient nutrient use saves a crop. In bad years or good years, adequate essential elements, if made available, will help the grower stay ahead."
