NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Lipscomb women's tennis team returned to Nashville on Wednesday after two consecutive road losses to Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson. Unfortunately, the return was met with a tough 4-3 nonconference loss to the Northern Iowa.
Jenny Borck, Alyssa Bellini and Shilpa Naruka all posted up wins in the singles competition, and the doubles team of Naruka and Melissa Kromer claimed a victory.
Lipscomb coach Andrew Harris said that the close match came down to last minute effort from Panthers (6-4).
"UNI really showed a lot of grit today, and I think they just wanted it more in the end," Harris said. "When it comes down to one court at 3-3, anything can happen."
The Lady Bisons (4-9) looks to bounce back Friday with an early morning match against Western Kentucky.
"We need to keep our heads up and look forward to playing a solid Western Kentucky team," Harris said.

Warm Greetings from Northern Virginia. My name is Rachel, but people call me Rach. I've been doing obento boxes for about three months now, but I've been neglecting my obento blog due to my loss of a camera. Thankfully I just got a new one yesterday. :) I already own two obento boxes and several different obento supplies to make my obento kawaii. :)
I have gastrointestinal problems, so turning to obento was helpful in maintaining the level of my condition. I look forward to expanding my food palette (I'm very picky), and learning new techniques and recipes. Hopefully we can start some friendly competition in obento making. :)
Thanks for reading! See you around!

Hi Rach, and welcome!

Knocking President Barack Obama and Democrats in Washington for blaming Republicans for the federal government shutdown, former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown said "everyone's to blame" for the closure that started Tuesday morning amid continuing political gridlock.
Knocking President Barack Obama and Democrats in Washington for blaming Republicans for the federal government shutdown, former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown said "everyone's to blame" for the closure that started Tuesday morning amid continuing political gridlock.
Defeated last year by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Brown said he had spoken with some of his former colleagues and suggested they pass bills to fund areas of the government "piecemeal," as has been done with the military.
"There is an opportunity for the Republicans to send 10 or 20 or 30 bills and put them on [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid's desk and let him then reject them, showing that in fact Republicans are willing to compromise," Brown said during an early afternoon appearance on Fox News.
"Just to take it a step further, the president is blaming the Republicans. With all due respect to the president, everybody's to blame," Brown added.
Brown criticized Obama, Reid and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for not getting behind a plan he described as a compromise that would have funded the government while delaying the Affordable Care Act for a year. "That would have solved the problem for another year," Brown said, adding he would have supported it.
While Republicans see Obamacare as an unaffordable, heavy-handed approach to health care policy, Obama and Senate Democrats have stood solidly behind the Affordable Care Act, touting cost savings and life-saving implications associated with the effort to help millions of uninsured Americans gain access to insurance.
"The Affordable Care Act is a law that passed the House. It passed the Senate. The Supreme Court ruled it constitutional. It was a central issue in last year's election. It is settled, and it is here to stay," Obama said Tuesday. "And because of its funding sources, it's not impacted by a government shutdown."
Saying many of his own legislative priorities had not been approved, Obama criticized Republicans for being unwilling to let go of their differences with Democrats over a health care law adopted in March 2010.
"There are a whole bunch of things that I'd like to see passed through Congress that the House Republicans haven't passed yet, and I'm not out there saying, well, I'm not -- I'm going to let America default unless Congress does something that they don't want to do," Obama said during remarks delivered in the Rose Garden. "That's not how adults operate. Certainly that's not how our government should operate."
Brown suggested it's appropriate to continue fighting for changes in the Affordable Care Act. "To get rid of Obamacare and to delay its implementation - listen, everyone knows it's a job killer right now," he said.
While Democrats have blamed Republicans for the shutdown, describing them as insistent on repeating unwinnable health care battles, Brown said Democrats are putting their support for Obamacare above other priorities.
"Bottom line is they're putting their personal partisan interests before our country's interests right now," he said.
After host Gretchen Carlson requested "straight talk" from Brown and asked him whether he would run for office in New Hampshire, Brown did not answer that question but talked about putting his Wrentham home up for sale and said he and his wife Gail Huff haven't agreed on their next move.
"First of all we're downsizing," Brown said. "When we walk in you hear an echo because the kids are obviously not there and we have a fairly large house that is big quite honestly. We're not quite sure if we're moving to New Hampshire which we have a home - I'm ninth generation from New Hampshire - or someplace near water or something, a little bit more palatable."
In addition to being mentioned as a possible candidate for statewide office in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, Brown, a Fox News contributor and attorney at Nixon Peabody, over the summer visited Iowa, a proving ground for presidential candidates and the state where Huff is from.
The New Hampshire Union-Leader, noting Brown's public appearance Monday night in the Granite State, published an editorial Tuesday urging the former senator, who owns a home in Rye, N.H., to "stop flirting" with New Hampshire.
"As long as he is a suspected candidate for Senate, every time Brown comes to New Hampshire he makes [Sen.] Jeanne Shaheen stronger and the state Republican Party relatively weaker. His penchant for talking incessantly about how often he voted with Democrats while in the Senate does little for GOP morale or fundraising," the editorial said. "Brown needs to either move here and announce a run or state definitively that he will not be a candidate. The ladies love his flirting, it is true, but the one who loves it the most is Jeanne Shaheen. Every time he bats an eye, she cashes a check. He needs to make his intentions clear or turn his big, brown eyes elsewhere."

New Delhi: Superstar Aamir Khan feels Indian media should report without any external pressures, as different people perceive and portray things in different ways.
"I think it is up to us and people to decide how we portray what is happening. News is about reporting and with what perception you want to report. Different people have different perceptions," Aamir said at an event held here Friday.
"All of us, and even media houses, want to report responsibly, without any external pressure and if that can happen, we would be very happy," he added.
The 47-year-old had produced 'Peepli Live', which was a satirical take on the media. But the actor believes media is very powerful and has the potential to bring big changes in the society.
"I believe media is very more powerful than before. It has power to bring big changes and simultaneously the responsibility also increases. Media plays a dynamic role. We are in that age where communication is very advanced and the meaning of mass communication has changed because of internet," he said.

Check out these boots:
Cute, huh? I'd wear them.
Well, that was until I saw what they were called.
Let's back up a bit…
It's called the YOURSOCUTE.
The YOURSOCUTE!!!
Perhaps it doesn't matter. After all, this is just Nine West — people only pay attention to the names of designer shoes.
But seriously…who signed off on this? That's what I'd like to know.
I already won't wear Jessica Simpson shoes because I can't stand her or her creepy father (most of her shoes are ugly, too, but there are occasional cute pairs). I think that the name of these boots is an even better reason not to wear them.
I bring this gem today courtesy of The Modern Gal (very good blog!). Thanks, MG!

The U.S. Department of Education's Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program (SDFS), in cooperation with the Institute of Education Sciences, has established the Safe, Disciplined, and Drug-Free Schools (SDDFS) Expert Panel. The 15-member SDDFS Expert Panel is composed of education practitioners; researchers; evaluators; program developers; and representatives from local and state education agencies, businesses, institutions of higher education, and from medical and legal communities.
The purpose of the Panel is to oversee a process for identifying and designating as promising and exemplary school-based programs that promote safe, disciplined, and drug-free schools. Once programs are designated as exemplary or promising, the Department will disseminate information about the programs and will encourage their use in new sites. The Expert Panel initiative is a way of enhancing prevention programming by making schools aware of alternative programs that have proven their effectiveness when judged against rigorous criteria.
Exemplary and Promising Programs
- 2001 Exemplary and Promising School-based Programs that promote safe, disciplined and drug-free schools - The Department and the Expert Panel on Safe, Discipline, and Drug-Free Schools have identified nine exemplary and thirty-three promising programs.
Program Timeline
- The Expert Panel on Safe, Disciplined, and Drug-Free Schools reviewed programs in the Spring of 2000.
Submission Guidelines
- 1999 Guidelines for Submitting Safe, Disciplined, and Drug-Free Schools Programs for Designation as Promising or Exemplary

Sheehan wasn't cold. 2) Pink (2-0) - Jody and Andrew Luck both won this week. 3) Yellow (1-1) - "Are we EVER going to sub?!?" 4) Light Blue (1-1) - First game came out cold, second game made big time comeback over Orange in the second half. Sightings of Casey Boy smh's. 5) Maddy (1-1) - The top seed in Predictions already has a blemish on the record. Curious how it went down, perhaps girl matchups? Attendance issue? 6) Purple (1-1) - Ross's team shocked the world, beating Will Sharp's black team. The true underdog story. 7) Black (1-1) - "Wes hurt his butt." 8) Lime (1-1) - From an anonymous source: "Kaplan is really good at ultimate, just not playing with other people some times" 9) Orange (0-2) - Carrie's team had let-downs in both games in the second half. Something that will not continue for league, and should get fixed. 10) Green (0-2) - "Dark Horse yo, watch yo backs"[/b]_________________Don't ask "can i?" Ask "i can."

Really had a great time playing with my team on Sunday and happy with our performance, especially considering we didn't have Kearney, Joe Bell or Becca. Can't believe you dropped lime to #8. They lost to us by 1 point and it was a good battle between two top teams. Red did not have any male subs, but they had good players (Jacob, Bitler, Corey, +1). Jon Mills wasn't playing.

All we are is hucks in the winnnnnnnnnd. 1) Pink (4-0) - The last undefeated team. This team moves this disc slow and well. Winter League isn't the league where you need speed, and they certainly don't, but they work well together and keep their composure better than other teams have. 2) Lime (3-1) - "Andrea killed us all game" - Anonymous opponent yesterday 3) Light Blue - "Casey Boy throws it to himself on the swing, Casey Boy hits an incut to himself, Casey Boy hucks it to Red Bandana for the point! I can't believe it!" - Jim Nantz 4) Navy (2-2) - Two close games ended with Navy praying for less wind the rest of league. There strengths were diminished and their weaknesses were extremely obvious. 5) Maddy Red (2-2) - Wind like yesterday doesn't show a true picture of how this league will turn out. I expect Red to be better than Green, despite their epic destruction against them yesterday. 6) Black (2-2) - Two thoughts, "I miss Sheehan" and "Wes is just unstoppable" 7) Green (2-2) - "Dark horse watch yo baaaaaacks!" Correct statement indeed. 8 ) Yellow (1-3) - Notes from game 2 against Lime, Kap jumps higher than Clay, Adeeb looks like he is getting really good, Andrea is really good. 9) Purple (1-3) - Not as much of a pushover team as it might seem on paper, days like yesterday in the wind will make it even harder for them, but this team has some more wins in the upcoming season. The True Underdog Story. 10) Orange (0-4) - Carrie's captaining has proved very valuable to start this season. This season hasn't started as she had hoped, but she's keeping her team confident, positive, and ready to turn it around. Her team plays hard for her, much like the Jets players did for Head Coach Rex Ryan when they were not winning. There will be no give up in this team. However, I have noticed a trend of Abe Gambert teams being low record teams in leagues. Interesting, but probably nothing._________________Don't ask "can i?" Ask "i can."

Sorry guys, I've been out of internet and a lazy butt. Now, without further ado.... Week 3 Power Rankings 1. Pink (5-1) - This team was the one I was most wrong about. I misjudged Krep's impact on this team. He's always been able to sky other players without lifting his feet off of the ground, but he's primarily playing handle this winter, and his throws have been on point. The last two weeks have been super windy, and Kreps is showing that his throws are a big strength to this team's chances of winning on Jody's birthday. 2. Light Blue (5-1) - Opposing teams think they're prepared for this team, they think they can Rockstar Casey Boy and slow this team down. Even with the wind these last two weeks, Casey's led this team to a 5 game win streak since losing the season opener. If we had a Winter League MVP, he's hands down the frontrunner as of now. 3. Lime (5-1) - Tulsa players typically get overlooked in the draft, or they drop a few rounds more than they should due to the risk of spotty attendance. Larkin's gamble has paid off so far, as Gabe has been the glue this team needed. Besides doing Gainers running up to the line, he's been that solid upfield cutter Kap has needed on this team. Seriously though, gainers to the line that s*** crazy man haha. 4. Navy (3-3) - Kat Thacker does not go less than 100% on the ultimate field. Whether it's running through the disc to get a D on an in-cut, or scoring game winning hucks over Sebastian, she makes a handful of plays every game that make you say "Wow!". As I've said before, this team has top talent females, and they give us a fighter's chance every game. We've lost three games by a total of 3 points. 5. Black (3-3) - Haven't gotten to see this team play yet, but I've heard that they would be better if they could get Wes upfield where he belongs. With the crazy wind we've been having it's understandable that every team has had to put some more experienced players back to handle. An anonymous source told me that "Pat Randall needs to step it up a notch with his throws and be more consistent." Side note: Matthew and Mary Gentry are having a Super Bowl party #letsgetgronk 6. Red (3-3) - Adam Schefter voice: "My sources tell me there is a real loss for words as to what's going wrong with the team. On paper they're a top end team, but perhaps they're taking a bit longer to gel together than some other teams. If this doesn't get turned around in the next few weeks, you can expect that the owner is going to make big changes this offseason." 7. Green (3-3) - Most spirited team I've played. Sebastian can be an intense player, but several times in the game he was very spirited, not argumentative, and made good calls. It's a competitive game, but he's the example of how you can play hard as hell, and still follow the rules of the game. Props to Seabass! 8. Yellow (2-4) - I've heard this team has had major issues with the wind. They're crossing their fingers this Sunday will be better weather. 9. Orange (0-6) - This team WILL win some games. They WILL, they WILL, they WILL! I went to pickup Thursday, and it was half Orange team. Where the hell is everybody, get your a** out there and let's get some good pickup going! Anyways, Jacob Klusmeier is the real deal. Got to play him in pickup, and he can ball (with a frisbee). 10. Purple (1-5) - Poor Clayton Adams, second winter league in a row he's purple team and a losing team._________________Don't ask "can i?" Ask "i can."

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. annual budget deficit is on track to reach $1 trillion for a fifth straight year, though government revenue jumped last month as people paid some taxes early to avoid higher rates in 2013.
The Treasury Department said Friday that the federal deficit grew just $260 million in December. But for the first three months of the budget year, the deficit widened to $292 billion.
In December, tax revenue rose 12% to $270 billion. Spending fell 17% to nearly the same amount.
The budget year begins on Oct. 1. The size of the annual deficit will hinge, in part, on how Congress and the White House resolve a debate over raising the nation's borrowing limit. Republicans are demanding deep spending cuts in return for any increase.
The deficit, in simplest terms, is the amount of money the government has to borrow when revenues fall short of expenses. The monthly figures are volatile and can be affected by calendar quirks that shift payments from one month to another.
Much of the December gain in revenue occurred because some companies accelerated bonuses or other payments into 2012 to avoid the possibility of higher taxes in 2013.
And spending fell last month partly because the government provided $14 billion to the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in December 2011, after they had lost hundreds of billions from defaulted mortgages in the housing bust. The government didn't make any such payments last month.
The White House and Congress agreed last week to raise taxes on the wealthiest 2% of Americans this year as part of a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff. That deal also allowed a Social Security tax cut to expire. But the groups also postponed for two months the implementation of spending cuts that were included in the cliff.
Those cuts are now scheduled to kick in at around the same time the borrowing limit will be reached. And funding authority for most government programs will expire at the end of March.
The government has run annual deficits for more than a decade, although President Barack Obama's presidency has coincided with four straight $1 trillion-plus deficits.
The deficit reached a record $1.41 trillion in budget year 2009, which began four months before Obama was inaugurated. That deficit was largely because of the worst recession since the Great Depression. Tax revenue plummeted, while the government spent more on stimulus programs.
The budget gaps in 2010 and 2011 were slightly lower than the 2009 deficit as a gradually strengthening economy generated more tax revenue.
President George W. Bush also ran annual deficits through most of his two terms in office after he won approval for broad tax cuts and launched wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The last time the government ran an annual surplus was in 2001.

LA VERNE, Calif. – Whitworth returned a kickoff and two interceptions for touchdowns on a night when the offense sputtered at times in a 45-20 win over La Verne in the Leopards' home and season opener.
Whitworth improved to 3-0, beginning the season with three road victories for the first time since 1955.
After ULV scored a touchdown late in the second quarter to take its only lead of the game (10-7), Danny Welstad returned the ensuing kickoff 61 yards for a score after the Leopards kicked high and short trying to eliminate a long return.
De' Hall gave the Bucs a 24-13 lead with his 33-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter. Nic Brockhoff closed the deal with his own return of 37 yards late in the game for the contest's final score.
Jake DeGooyer, who had a career-game last week at Whittier, got the Pirates on the board first with a three-yard touchdown catch from Bryan Peterson to complete Whitworth's second possession of the game.
The Leopards got on the scoreboard midway through the second quarter after Travis Carter relieved starting QB Drew Podrebarac after Alex Miller kicked a 34-yard field with 7:09 to go in the half. La Verne took its only lead on the next possession when Matthew Biggers ran in from three-yards out with 3:19 to go in the second quarter.
But that's when Welstad made his big play. ULV could not have known it was kicking to a high school all-star running back in addition to a Pirate defensive end. After Welstad made his move to get through the initial line of defenders, he ran away from the rest of the Leopards for the 61-yard score.
Miller's second field goal of the game, this time from 36 yards, drew ULV within 14-13 early in the third quarter. But Robert Thullen answered for the Bucs from 26 yards with 7:31 to go in the third, extending the lead back to 17-13.
Less than a minute later Whitworth pressured Conway into an overthrow on a screen pass and Hall returned the interception for a score that gave the Pirates their first double-digit lead (24-13).
Special teams played a big role early in the fourth quarter when Whitworth tackled La Verne punter Jeremy Brown at the Leopard six yard line. Three plays later Austin Ehlo laid out to catch an eight-yard pass from Peterson in the back corner of the endzone, giving the Pirates a 31-13 lead.
The Leopards answered with a quick 65-yard drive, culminated by Carter's one-yard lob pass to John Lilly on third down, pulling ULV to within 31-20 with just under ten minutes to play.
ULV forced Whitworth to punt twice by stacking the box against the run. But the Pirate defense was up to the task and forced the Leopards to punt two times in answer.
Finally on third and one at the Whitworth 25-yard-line, Ronnie Thomas broke free for a 75-yard touchdown run down the Pirate sideline to extend the lead back to 38-20. That single run accounted for most of Thomas' 135 yards in the game.
Two plays after the kickoff Brockhoff picked off third-string QB Garry Hedlund and returned the interception 37 yards for the final score of the game.
La Verne outgained Whitworth 390-252 in the game. Peterson completed 12 of 31 passes for 154 yards and the two touchdowns. Thomas totaled 135 yards on 27 carries. DeGooyer finished with seven catches for 93 yards, while Ehlo caught his first two passes of the season for 38 yards.
Carter completed 20 of 36 passes for 229 yards with one interception and one touchdown. He also ran for 52 yards on 13 carries. Biggers totaled 69 yards on 17 attempts. David Kain and John Lilly had four catches each.
John Bresser led the Pirate defense with 12 tackles in his first start at safety.
After flying more than 6,200 miles on three trips to start the season, Whitworth will finally get to play at home next Saturday when the Pirates host Chapman at 1:00 p.m. in the Pine Bowl.

A New York native of Sicilian heritage, Ben Gazzara was a strongly masculine, subtly menacing screen presence with a gravelly voice that one writer described as "saloon-cured" and another said could strip paint at 50 paces.
The veteran actor, who died Friday in New York City, found fame on Broadway in the 1950s, starred in the TV series "Run for Your Life" in the 1960s and was closely identified on the big screen with independent filmmaker John Cassavetes.
The cause of death was pancreatic cancer, said his attorney Jay I. Julien. He was 81.

The Hood River Valley boys' basketball team had to shake off a week's worth of rust when they took the floor for their first two games of the season on Friday and Monday.
The effects of a week of did not show too much as the Eagles rained down three pointers in a narrow 61-55 loss to Rex Putnam on Friday, but could not find the hoop when they needed to in a hard-fought 57-48 defeat at the hands of The Dalles-Wahtonka on Monday.
Rex Putnam 61 Hood River Valley 55
Being snowed in for a week did not seem to hurt the Hood River Valley boys' basketball team too much on Friday.
The time off did not seem to hurt their fans' vocal cords either.
The Eagles hung with Rex Putnam throughout the game, only to have shots that they had all night start missing in the final seconds and fell 61-55 in their season opener on Friday.
With Putnam clinging to a five-point lead with 3:39 remaining, Hood River's Jon Ing drove the basket and collided with a Putnam player as he made the shot. Instead of cutting the lead to three and sending Ing to the line, the Hood River guard was called for charging, giving the ball back to Putnam.
The crowd became so loud that it drowned out the protestations of first-year Hood River coach Zach Pauls. Or nearly drowned him out. The incensed Pauls received a technical foul, only the second of his coaching career, sending Chial Alba to the line for Putnam. Alba, who would finish with 22 points and gave the Hood River defense fits with pinpoint shooting all night, missed both the free-throws to keep the Eagles alive.
However, the Eagles would get no closer than four points the rest of the way.
Even though he did not get the win in his Eagle coaching debut, Pauls was just happy with the way his team responded after nearly a week away from practice.
"I'm very impressed at the way we came out and competed," he said. "The way they came out and played with that much heart is amazing."
Both teams' matched each other shot for shot in the early going and were tied 32-32 at the half.
Whenever the Eagles would get a chance to get over the hump and take a lead, Alba would put them back into a hole with a three pointer. However, Seth Amaral kept the Eagles going with a flurry of three pointers of his own and finished with 18 points.
Amaral's 18 points led the Eagles in scoring, while Andy Kennedy pitched in 9 points, Adam Williams and K.C. Christensen both had 8 points, and Jon Ing added seven.
Alba's 22 points were the high for Putnam, which also got 10 points from post Ali Mihub and nine points Scott Cach.
The Dalles-Wahtonka 57 Hood River 48
The Dalles-Wahtonka and Hood River Valley have been rivals for years, and it showed Monday night.
While neither team could consistently take advantage of opportunities to score, the players did not waste a chance to put an opponent on the floor.
The game featured gritty play throughout including a first quarter that at one point had more total fouls on the board than points scored, with both teams diving after balls and scrapping for points, but in the end, just as it had in their previous game, the basket seemed to go closed for the Eagles in the final minutes.
After the Eagle-Indians took a 34-31 lead into halftime, Hood River used an effective press to come up with several turnovers in the third quarter to build a 40-38 lead after the third, taking advantage of Eagle-Indian fouls to turn the turnovers into points.
However, in the fourth, The Dalles-Wahtonka went on a run of its own, opening the fourth with an 8-1 run. With both teams in the double bonus midway through the final quarter, it was The Eagle-Indian's turn to take advantage of foul shots down the stretch to pull away for the final margin.
"Right now it's a big mark of conditioning for us," Hood River coach Zach Pauls said of his team not being able to hit shots at the end of the game. "We have to overcome it by making better decisions sometimes. Its a tough stretch and we are just going to keep trying to get better."
The Dalles-Wahtonka first-year coach Bob Townsend was impressed with the fight that both teams put up, in what he has quickly realized is a fierce rivalry game.
"It was definitely a battle and a competitive game," he said. "It's a well-fought rivalry and (we) are just happy to come out on the winning side."
K.C. Christensen led the Eagles with 13 points, while Shay Huskey added 11 and Seth Amaral kicked in 10 points.
Jason Yecny led the Eagle-Indians with 15 points, while Adam Koch scored nine points and Damian Telles added eight points.

The pace of both domestic and global consolidation increased in 2011— reflecting greater overall confidence in the industry on the part of buyers and investors, according to Morrissey Goodale LLC. Morrissey Goodale tracked 171 domestic M&A deals, representing a 12.5% increase over 2010 and a return to levels not seen since 2007.
"We attribute this to continued confidence on the part of institutional investors and savvy buyers who see the industry fundamentals as stabilizing and the long-term trends as encouraging," says Mike Cauley, principal consultant. "Specifically, they anticipate greater clarity around connecting massive domestic infrastructure development and rehabilitation needs with a public-private financing model."
Given the continuing needs of baby-boomer owners to free up their investments in their firms, combined with the outlook for a continuing ultra-competitive environment for smaller firms, Morrissey Goodale anticipates the pace of domestic M&A activity in the industry to continue to rebound, yielding between 190 and 210 deals in 2012— an increase of between 11% and 23% over 2011.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College softball team (5-13, 1-1 PBC) turned things around in the second game of their doubleheader with Francis Marion University (11-4, 3-3 PBC), knocking off the Patriots 2-1 after dropping an 8-4 opener.
The Bobcats rebounded nicely after dropping the first game 8-4. The game was much closer than the score indicated, as GC trailed Francis Marion 5-4 heading into the top of the sixth inning. Some late runs would break open the game, leading the Patriots to the victory.
Despite the loss, there were some positives at the plate as junior Haley Burnett (Columbus, Ga.) went 3-for-3 with an RBI. Fellow classmate and Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Player of the Week Anna Parker (Columbus, Ga.) continued her offensive onslaught as she belted a double.
In game two, the Bobcats received an exceptional effort on the mound from freshman Chelsie Huffman (Powder Springs, Ga.) and junior Caitlin Duvall (Douglasville, Ga.). The duo went seven innings, scattering seven hits and allowing just one run.
Duvall (2-3) was particularly great as she closed out the final five innings allowing just four hits to pick up her second win of the season.
The Bobcats two runs came from freshmen Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) and Lindsey Conway (Madison, Ga.), who each scored.
Parker delivered the first RBI in the opening inning with a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Okvist, who singled, stole second and then advanced to third on a wild pitch. The 'Cats would tack on another in the bottom of the second.
Two runs would be all GC would need, allowing just one Patriot to cross the plate the rest of the day en route to the 2-1 victory.
Georgia College will get right back at it tomorrow when they host Lincoln Memorial University for a doubleheader beginning at noon.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

PRO-LONG R 15ml —— $24.95
I outted myself on the job last week. I hope this doesn't come back and bite me in the ass one of these days.
There are very few people who know that Karen and I do these reviews for Dr Dick. We like the anonymity and we like having a little secret that only a couple of our closest friends know about. But there's this guy at work, who is about 20 years younger than me, who treats me like his wise older brother. And let's just say he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. At any rate he is forever telling me about his sexual conquests. Except that most of the time it's failure instead of conquest. He is absolutely clueless about women.
Karen thinks he's adorable, in a young and dumb and full of cum sort of way. So she says, "He looks up to you, why don't you try and help him out. Think of all the wear and tear you will prevent on all the poor women he dates." Karen was right. The kid's not a bad lot, just clueless.
So I start telling him some of the things I've learned about women and sex and he's like all mouth-agape staring at me in wonder. "Dude, how do you know all this shit?" I tell him, "I'm a fuckin' genius, that's how I know all this shit." And this is where I make my fatal mistake. I tell him about the Review Crew. He doesn't believe me, so I show him the Dr Dick Sex Toy Reviews site and I point out one of our reviews. He says, "Hey, that ain't you; your name ain't Jack!" I tell him, "We don't use our real names, Sherlock!" So he says, "Well I'll be damned."
My coworker's biggest problem is he doesn't get laid enough. No surprise there, I suppose. And because of that, he jerks off all the time. This I understand completely because I used to be just like him when I was his age, a wankin' maniac. Because he beats off all the time, and always does so in a hurry he has trained his body to cum with very little stimulus. This gives him a hair-trigger, if ya know what I mean. When he's on a date and about to get lucky, he no sooner get his pants off when he blows his load. He has become so self-conscious about this that he's afraid to even ask a chick out for drinks. This inevitably leads to more desperation and more furious masturbation. A vicious cycle, no?
So I tell Bobby, that's my coworker's name, "I have something I want you to try. I think it will help." And this is where I introduce him to today's product, PRO-LONG R. It's a desensitizing spray for men. It's very effective, fast-acting, and is super easy to apply, discreet too.
PRO-LONG R is formulated for guys like Bobby. I know we all joke about PE (premature ejaculation), but it's no laughing matter. Poor Bobby is a wreck over it all.
Of course, before I could recommend PRO-LONG R to anyone, I had to try it myself. I was immediately impressed. Here's what ya do. 5-15 minutes before the action begins, ya pump on a few sprays (3-8) of this stuff on your cockhead and the underside of your unit. Let it sink in and dry and you're ready to rock on. Seriously, that's all that's to it.
PRO-LONG R contains a 7.5% benzocaine solution, the active ingredient. Apparently, benzocain is safer than the alternative, lidocain, which many other desensitizing products use. I did my homework, and sure enough, I found benzocaine in several over the counter remedies from ointments for hemorrhoidal relief, gels for toothache pain and sprays for sunburn relief. Who knew?
The first time I tried PRO-LONG R there was a slight burning sensation. It wasn't awful or anything; I must have had some kind of abrasion on my cock (pulling my pud too much or too hard?) because the alcohol in the product stung as alcohol does. As soon as the product sank into my skin and dried, the sensation went away. There was no redness or any other kind of irritation, so I guessed we were all good. The second time I used the spray there was no burning sensation at all.
And here's something you should know; PRO-LONG R is certified by Health Canada.
I'm gonna tell you what I told Bobby. Use a condom when you use PRO-LONG R. There's two good reasons. First, a condom will further decrease some of the sensations in your dick, which is a good thing when you have PE. And second, on the off chance that some of the PRO-LONG R hasn't completely sunk into your skin; you don't want to pass on any residue to your partner. You don't want their parts—pussy, or ass, or whatever—to be desensitized, just because you need to work on your orgasmic control, right?
So you're all probably wondering about Bobby, huh? Here's the thing, PRO-LONG R worked for him too. He's still a doofus and he has lots to learn when it comes to the ladies, but now he's feeling better about his control. PRO-LONG R boosted his confidence too. So good on him!

The Niners do have a tougher schedule, but I dont think that the Raiders are as good as their record. They have beated two really bad teams, and most games wont let you do what they did to Miami, in running the ball every time.
The Raiders will have six. Niners will have seven or eight.
Honestly I think the Raiders schedule is tougher. Raiders play the Chargers, Broncos, Colts, Bears, Texans, Packers, Jaguars, and Titans, plus the Chiefs twice.
Yeah we beat two bad teams, but so did you. You beat the Rams and the Cardinals. Nothing special.
However I think we can all agree that the Raiders are sooooooooooo much better than last year. Their O-Line is solid. Running game is solid. Passing game is pretty good. Defense is not as good as last year but okay so far.
Niners need drastic help on offense. Your offense is almost as bad as ours was last year. The defense is super solid though.

DE-CIX and Equinix Partner to Launch New Exchange within Equinix's Munich Data Center
Munich, Germany — August 4, 2008 — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading global provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services, and DE-CIX Management GmbH, the largest Internet Exchange for Central and Eastern Europe, today announced a partnership in which DE-CIX will operate a new state-of-the-art Internet exchange, which will be called ALP-IX, within Equinix's Munich Internet Business Exchange (IBX®) data center. The agreement will bring a state-of-the-art peering fabric into the Equinix center, enabling Equinix customers in Munich to directly exchange, or "peer," Internet traffic to increase reliability, improve performance, and reduce the costs of network traffic exchange.
Equinix and DE-CIX are leaders in providing network-neutral platforms for the interconnection of enterprise, service provider and content networks. Located in Frankfurt, Germany, DE-CIX is a non-profit, neutral and independent Internet exchange that offers direct and settlement-free IP interconnection to the largest aggregation of networks in Central and Eastern Europe.

The ALP-IX service will be initially available for customers at the end of this month, offering 1GBit/s ports and 10 GBit/s ports on single mode fibre connections. The service builds upon the deployment that DE-CIX currently operates at the Equinix Frankfurt-City (FR1) IBX center where DE-CIX public peering ports are available to Equinix customers.
"As Equinix expands its global service offering across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific, the company is committed to providing high-performance platforms for exchanging Internet traffic," said Eric Schwartz, President of Equinix Europe. "Partnering with Internet exchanges like DEC-IX, who have an existing critical mass of quality Internet service providers and connected parties operating within their system, will enable Equinix customers to scale their peering relationships to reduce costs and increase performance."
"We are enthusiastic about our new partnership with Equinix and the interconnection benefits that this relationship will bring to all of our customers," said Harald Summa, Managing Director of DE-CIX. "As peering continues to be the primary method for data transfer between the world's networks, this relationship will help to ensure that networks can execute peering relationships in the most efficient and convenient manner possible."
About DE-CIX
Founded in 1995, DE-CIX has established an environment for the bilateral settlement-free exchange of Internet traffic ("peering") between all types of Internet service providers ("ISPs") including broadband and content providers. Originally started as a project founded by 3 German ISPs, DE-CIX is now the largest Internet exchange in the heart of Europe and one of the top 3 IXs globally. Today DE-CIX has over 250 customers from 30 nations using peering to lower costs and increase IP performance and resilience.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT rifle team welcomed the U.S. Naval Academy and Wentworth Institute of Technology to their home range over the weekend, finishing second to the Midshipmen in both events. The Engineers registered totals of 2215 in smallbore and 2234 in air rifle but those scores would not hold up as Navy tallied 2271 and 2327 to win the two guns. Wentworth earned totals of 2083 in smallbore and 2154 in air rifle to place third.
In air rifle, junior Emily Houston continued to shine, carding at least a 95 on all five shots, including one perfect attempt. She finished just three points shy of the top score in that event. Teammates Nigel Kojimoto and Joe Lane also scored at least a 90 on all five attempts with that gun, for totals of 563 and 555 respectively. Laura Fallon rounded out the scoring in air rifle for Tech with a 533.
Lane led the way in smallbore with a total of 570, as five of his six shot attempts went for at least 93 points. That total was the second highest among all shooters with that gun. Houston would post a score of 561, aided by one score of 97 and a pair of 96 point efforts. Kojimoto (552) and Jennifer Paek (532) were Tech's other point earners in the event.
Navy's Lisa Kunselman posted a 586 for the high score in air rifle. Teammate Chris Burleson had the top point total in smallbore with a 577.
MIT travels to Massachusetts Maritime next for a match with the Buccaneers on Saturday, November 15.

Peach Upside Down Cake
The first recipe in Rose's Heavenly Cakes is an Apple Upside Down cake, but lo! There at the end of the recipe is a fresh peach variation, and when it came time to choose this week's cake (it is free cake week), I couldn't ignore this one. Two of my favorite things, a sour cream-butter cake and peaches? Yes, yes, and yes. And once again, YES.
September 3, 2011
Name of Cake: Late Summer Cake
Occasion: HCB, and peach time
Constituents: one 9 inch yellow sour cream butter cake, topped with peaches, brown sugar caramel and toasted almonds
Some may ask if I haven't yet done the original recipe why I am doing the variation? PEACHES, people. PEACHES. I am counting this recipe as completed.
This cake is relatively easy to do, but be mindful of the extra prep time needed to macerate the peaches. And be mindful of the fact that you need to peel the peaches before you macerate them. Rose's method of peach peeling begins with covering them with boiling water for a minute before shocking them in ice water. I felt a little bad for doing that to the peaches, but they were still happy juicy fruit after pulling them out of the ice water. However, I ended up needing one more peach to equal 450 grams, so I hurriedly sliced another peach without peeling it--shock and horror! Having a quarter of the peaches in the cake be with skin wasn't much of a texture/taste problem, but I wouldn't recommend skipping this step altogether.
After the peaches are sliced, they are tossed with a tiny bit of lemon juice and a couple tablespoons of light brown Muscovado and left alone for at least half an hour. This pulls some of the juices out of the fruit, plus keeps them from browning. The juices are cooked down with some butter and more Muscovado to a deep amber color, which is poured into the prepared cake pan. The peach slices are then arranged prettily on the caramel, and then set aside while the batter is made.
The batter is a good ol' sour cream-butter cake, which means it will be rich, tender, and a little dense. To add to the rich and tender factor, only egg yolks are used. The cake is mixed in the two-stage method as usual, and in a matter of minutes there's a thick and gorgeous batter plopped on top of your prettily arranged fruit. Sour cream-butter cake batters are like the Cadillac of the cake batter world. They are thick, creamy, and velvety. Despite being dense there's an airy quality to them; much like Italian Meringue Buttercream. Only the best for the beautiful ripe peach!
After smoothing out the batter the cake is popped into the oven for a good 35 minute bake. Oh, and to make things even more interesting, if you own a baking stone, the cake bakes on top of that, to further caramelize the fruit and sauce. Don't skip this step, if at all possible...
...because LOOK:
I know! So juicy and caramelized and yummy!
The cake is flipped over onto a cake plate immediately after removing from the oven, but the cake pan is left on top of the cake for a minute or two, to let the fruit dislodge nicely from the bottom of the pan. When the pan is finally pulled away from the cake, a little juicy caramel oozes out and the steamy sigh of baked peaches will fill your home with eager cake samplers.
At this point, you can sprinkle the top of the cake with your toasted almonds, and serve it warm or room temperature. I recommend warm, and even though there's a bourbon whipped cream to go along with it (actually an amaretto whipped cream would also be good) this cake needs nothing more than a fork.
Other peachy things:
Caramel Peach Grunt (and the birth of a nephew!)
Peach Hand Pies
Other upside down things:
Caramelized Pineapple Pudding Cake
Pluot Upside Down Cornmeal Cake

Quebec Region
The Région de Québec or Greater Quebec area is in the province of Quebec in Canada and include the provincial capital city Quebec City and its surrounding rural counties.
Other destinations[edit]
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
Jean Lesage International Airport (IATA: YQB), in Ancienne-Lorette,[2]. The only airport in the region is found about 30 minutes North-West from downtown Quebec City. It offers regular flights from cities such as Montreal, Toronto and New York City, and also provides charters to remote areas of the province such as Kuujjuaq, Gaspé and Baie-Comeau.
Please note that there is no public transit or hotel shuttles to and from the airport. The taxi fare from Old Quebec to the airport is a flat fee of $30.
By train[edit]
A passenger train station is found at the port of Quebec, 450 rue de la Gare du Palais. The Quebec VIA Rail station is a picturesque building, emulating the architectural style of the famed Chateau-Frontenac overlooking the station. The Quebec-Windsor corridor trains run regularly, with stopovers at Montreal and Toronto.
Another train station is located in Ste-Foy, 3255 chemin de la Gare, near the Quebec and Pierre-Laporte bridges. However, public transit does not run there as often as the Quebec station and requires walking for a couple minutes.
By bus[edit]
The bus station, Terminus Gare du Palais located at rue de la Gare du Palais, is also found at the old port of Quebec, next to the train station. Intercar and Orleans Express offer services province-wide.
Another bus station is located in Ste-Foy, 3001 chemin des Quatre-Bourgeois, which is easily accessible by city transit.
By car[edit]
Quebec City is 2.5-3 hours by car from Montreal, taking either Highway 40 or 20 (north and south side of the St. Lawrence, respectively). Both drives are rather monotonous drives through endless forest dotted with farms. For a slower but more interesting tour of Quebec's heartland, drive instead along Highway 138, the Chemin du Roy, which follows the north bank of the river.

Collecting Baseball Cards and the 1948 Leaf Set
By Ed Kushner
As a baseball card collector and likely a collector of all collectibles, the first of each item, set, issue is generally the most sought after items pertaining to a particular producer. In this case it was the first and last set produced by Leaf Gum. With an exception to a small set Leaf produced in 1960 that is often forgotten about, this is their first and last.
This set was the first color baseball cards of the post World War II era and consisted of 98 baseball players. The whole set consisted of 168 cards, but also included Football and Boxing athletes' cards. This is probably one of the most difficult set of the post-war era to complete, mainly due to the fact that exactly one-half of the set, 49 cards, are considered to be "short print" cards (the term short print means those particular cards were produced in significantly less numbers then the other 49). There is no definitive ratio, but is estimated that the short print cards were produced 1 to 12 of the other 49 cards. That means there are only 8.5 percent production, in estimation, of one half the set in comparison to the other half, so collecting the easier to obtain 49 cards isn't too much of a problem. It's getting the second half of the set that becomes very challenging.
Being the first of its kind and that most are considered a 1948 issue by collectors, it is thought that many of the cards weren't actually issued until 1949. So when referenced, one may think there were two sets produced, but either 1948 or 1949 is correct in describing these cards.
This set contains many significant cards of player's first appearances, better known as rookie cards, including: Jackie Robinson; Stan Musial; Phil Rizzuto; and, by far the most popular 1948 Leaf card, Satchel Paige. In addition to such great rookie cards, the set also contained legends who were either at their peek years, near the end of their legacies, or retired, such as: Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, and Honus Wagner.
The Values
The values of these cards, based on mid-range grades, such as the Jackie Robinson (pictured), range from average prices to highly priced. For example, a common card (non-short printed card) averages about $25-$40 for excellent-to-mint (ex-mt) condition, the Jackie Robinson shown is valued at $1,250 in the condition shown, and the highest-priced card being the Satchel Paige rookie card, which would sell for about $10,000 in ex-mt condition. The short-printed cards are very expensive, and common players sell for about $500 in ex-mt condition, while star player cards that were short-printed usually sell for anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 per card. Overall, if you were to manage to put this set together in ex-mt condition, which is a 6 in the PSA (Professional Sports Authentication an independent sports card grading company) 1-to-10 grading scale, you could expect to spend about $50,000.
The unique thing about this set, unlike just about every other set produced, is that the card numbers range from 1-168 but there are only 98 baseball cards in the set, so the other sports players fill in the number gaps. You can have a baseball player whose card is number 117 and the next baseball card is number 120. The two cards in between could be a football card or boxing card, so unlike any other baseball set, this one had it's sense of being unique even before collecting baseball cards was a form of an investment; when most kids bought the cards for the gum.
The concept of mixing sports cards into one set with hard-to-find cards did not seem to go over well with the public. My thought is that kids got so many duplicates and couldn't get the other 49 cards they needed to complete the set they gave up on them since another company, Bowman was introduced the same year and all the cards were equally available.
A Very Challenging Set to Fill
This set is a very nice and colorful, and these cards are highly sought after by collectors today. Condition is always an issue with all cards when determining value, and these weren't made on the best quality of cardboard, so finding them in top condition is very challenging. Of course once you are fortunate enough to find top-grade cards, keeping them in that condition is very important. The best way to store these cards are in non-pvc holders that don't allow the card to move around and cannot be damaged easily. Being that these cards hold significant values, it is highly recommended that one who possesses high-grade examples of this issue have them professionally graded and sealed in one of the grading company's holders. Of the major graders, I generally don't like endorsing one over another, but my preference is with SCG (Sportscard Guaranty) or PSA, as those grading companies have shown their responsibility in correctly grading and authenticating cards over their years of service.
If you are collecting and interested in starting a collection from your favorite set, I always recommend reading up on that particular set and seek out reputable dealers what will assist you and work with you in your interest. The 1948 or 1949 Leaf set is a very nice set, but extremely tough to complete and there are many cards in this set in average condition will cost a pretty penny to obtain. So if you are on a restricted budget, this may be a very tough set to work on.
And even if you are not on a budget, this set is very challenging to complete; just finding some of the short prints are just impossible to find regardless, of cost, and if they appear at auctions you may find you need to pay five to 10 times their value to own them. I'm not trying to discourage people from collecting this set, but just be prepared for a long and costly battle if this is the set you choose to assemble.
Until the next article, happy baseball card collecting.
