WALLA WALLA, Wash. – The Whitworth University women's basketball team battled back from a 17 point deficit, but came up just short as Whitman won 73-67 in the second round of the NCAA Division III women's basketball tournament in the Sherwood Center on Saturday evening.
Whitworth ends the season with a 21-8 record. Whitman improves to 28-1 and advances to the Sweet 16 next weekend.
"I think, especially in the second half, we really battled back," Whitworth head coach Helen Higgs said. "We got down by (18) and were able to cut it to two. We just never thought we were out of it."
Sophomore KC McConnell opened the night with a basket to give Whitworth a 2-0 lead in the first minute. Whitman responded with 10 straight points before junior Katara Belton-Sharp sank a pair of free throws to end the Pirates' scoring drought. Whitman led by as many as 13 points with 4:17 left in the half before McConnell, senior Kayla Johnson and junior Jessica Kramer put together a 9-2 to cut the lead to six, 29-23, at the 2:11 mark. Whitman heated up in the final two minutes and hit a three-pointer just before the buzzer to take a 38-25 lead into halftime.
The Missionaries extended the lead to 18 after the break. Whitworth went on a 12-2 run on baskets from sophomore Lexie Zappone, Johnson and sophomore Alexis McLeod and free throws from Belton-Sharp and Kramer to cut the lead to four, 50-46, with 10:00 left to play. Each time Whitman attempted to break away, the Pirates held them in check. Johnson made one of two three throws with 33 seconds left to play to make it a 69-67 game, but the Missionaries made two key free throws to seal the victory.
Whitworth shot 80 (20-25) percent from the free throw line. The Pirates scored 11 points off of 16 Whitman turnovers. Whitman shot 45.6 percent (26-57) from the field.
Kayla Johnson's 21 points gave her 1297 for her career, moving her into fifth on the all-time scoring list. Her eight rebounds led the Pirates. Jessica Kramer added 11 points. KC McConnell had a game-high four steals.
Tiffani Traver led Whitman with 17 points. Heather Johns and Sarah Anderegg each added 15 points. Hailey Ann Maeda pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds. Hayley McDonald had three steals for the Missionaries.

Voices Question
General: How you have been affected in this economy and what you want to hear from President Obama during his State of the Union address?
Comments: 192
I want him to address the fact that teachers are being asked everyday to do more with less. Because of the heavy reliance on high stakes testing as the sole indicator of success,instruction is influenced by the test. Teachers are also tasked with addressing physical, social and emotional needs. We need to be free and unencumbered to do their job of TEACHING, not parenting. Even though he has done so in the past, President Obama needs to remind some parents that some of the work must be done at home. Check your child's folder, do homework, stay attuned to their needs. I am the teacher at school, but you are the teacher at home.
Sanita Irvin
I want to hear that President Obama is going to support unions and the people's rights to organize. I want to hear that he understands how truly difficult a teacher's day is and that we need support to do our jobs properly, not criticism. I also want to hear that schools should be about learning, not testing, and that multiple measures of achievement must be used to measure progress, not one single test.
kirsten ostrofsky
I need it explained to me in very simple terms how it is ethically and morally right that those making hundreds of thousands to billions are paying the same taxes that I pay or less on my meager $43K a year (gross). How can Mitt Romney with his over $300K in speakers fees last year pays about 14.7% taxes? Why is everyone scared to eliminate the tax loopholes that only the top 1% are able to use? How is it ethically and morally right to always cut funding for education and pass legislation that contains unfunded mandates? I really need it clearly and simply explained to me so that maybe I can understand.
Anna Marie Garrett
I have a union job, and so I have not been badly battered by this economy - yet in my family, everyone else has. My parents lost retirement savings in the Lehman Brothers collapse, and each of my siblings has lost a job, a home, or a significant portion of their income. I want to hear the President talk about what he will do for housing to shore up the middle class, and what he will do to create more good jobs. I want to see healthcare access and quality continue to improve - while the Affordable Care Act did not go far enough, it must be vigorously defended. And for our long-term security, we must act to slow climate change.
Janey Skinner
Our schools have had many cuts in personnel and programs. Students no long have support and assistance from guidance counselors, social workers or psychologists. Many schools do not have functioning libraries because librarians have been eliminated. Important programs such as enrichment programs, sports, targeted instruction, full time art and music and targeted instruction programs have all been reduced or eliminated. I would like to hear that President Obama is restoring full funding to public schools that are in such desperate need.
Dr. Kara Popiel
My pension and health care benefits are not enough to meet the high cost of living since I'm a cancer survivor and had to retire early after 27 years of teaching.What will you do to help all teachers including those of us who have retired already,to meet increasing costs of health care and living expenses?
Joanie Shires
I want to hear President Obama address the nation wide assault on union workers, particularly teachers and women. It appears that all the bad fiscal decisions made by politicians and legislators will be solved on the backs of union workers, teachers, nurses, and the middle class. I want all legislators, state and federal, to be held accountable to the bills they pass. In other words, you "reform" my pension which will take me over 34 years of service to receive 75% of my salary because I am costing the state toooooooo much money, then you need to reform your own!!!!! Burris can take Obama's Senate seat and receive a pension? Are u kidding me?
Therese Schuld
Property values declined and banks are making it impossible for people who have continued to pay their mortgages to refinance at the new lower rates. This is generally unfair to those of us who are still scraping by! What legislation is forth coming to address this inequity?
Daniel Schiessl
He should defend the right of workers to organize. He should take steps to require states to fund schools.
John Latimer
I would like to hear the President say he will hold the banks accountable for the damage they did to the US economy through their predatory lending practices.
David Curry
I want the President to reaffirm his commitment to advocate for the passage of the Employee Free Choice Act that would make it easier for workers to have a say as to whether they want to join a union. The erosion of the middle class has paralleled the decline in Union density. This trend needs to be reversed. As the President himself said when he signed the Lilly Ledbetter law: "I do not view the labor movement as part of the problem. To me, it's part of the solution. You cannot have a strong middle class without a strong labor movement." (Jan. 30, 2009)
Win Heimer
I want to hear words of respect, encouragement and gratitude for our nation's teachers. I also want to hear a plan for placing fully certified, experienced teachers in our most challenging schools as opposed to young people right out of college. I want to hear plans for helping teachers obtain autonomy as professionals so they will be free to do their very best without micromanagement. And I want to hear about plans to end teaching by testing. Also, it would be nice to hear an announcement of an EDUCATOR for Secretary of Education. And let's reduce poverty for our children. It's time to learn from Finland!
Linda Johnson
Despite working multiple part-time teaching jobs for ten years, my wife and I were unable to pay down our student loans. Interest accrued. We now owe twice what we borrowed. I'm now full-time at a state school but she's still insecure in her work life. I've suffered years of pay freezes and benefit reductions. This debt is a huge drag on our lives. Please propose student loan debt forgiveness or, maybe, just cancellation of accrued student loan interest as national stimulus. Please also explain how public sector employees exchange career mobility for modest wages, benefits and job security. We are not the problem. We are the solution.
Timothy O'Neill
I want the President to come out very strongly in favor of unions and pensions. Both have been integral to the creation of the middle class, and I want to hear my President say that he believes in both and that he will fight to the finish for both. Making a decent living is something every American should be able to strive for, and after working a lifetime paying into a pension system, Americans should be able to count on getting back the money they were guaranteed.
Esther Allman
As a recently retired art teacher, I am upset about the continued budget cuts to public services in state and local governments. The education budget cuts mean teachers of the arts are being laid off. I want President Obama to focus on job creation with federal money to rebuild infrastructure, help fund state governments' budget shortfalls, and to increase the taxes of the 1% who have benefitted from the services of the government and can afford to pay more to help our country and the middle income and poor people of the US.
Paul Wortman
In this economy, and with the continuing attacks on unions and education, I've seen my pay and benefits cut and my job threatened while my workload increases. I've been instructed to focus on narrow test prep. I've been forced, by state and federal laws and regulations, to implement programs that will not help students but will rather hurt them, all in the name of "fixing" education. I'd like to hear President Obama say that he's firing Arne Duncan and replacing him with Diane Ravitch. I'd like to hear him voice support for unions and public (not charter) schools, and to press state governments to do so. But I'm not holding my breath.
Eric Ceresa
With the advent of globalization and the offshoring policies of previous administrations, we've created a structural job deficit. Those jobs will not return. Besides innovators/Entrepreneurs who may (but mostly will not) need large work forces, I see no other way of filling the hole but with WPA-level infrastucture projects. And of course, it'll cost trillions in tax dollars. Better than wasting it on tax-cuts for billionaires and Afghanistan. In a paragraph what is the Obama Jobs Plan? It's time to get extreme in your decisionmaking
Joe Zeinner
Please, please talk about Wall Street's greed and the continued widening economic inequality in this country. This is not class warfare; this is the wealthy one percent continuing to demonstrate their Anti-American anti-Christian spirit for the less fortunate fellow Americans. We should all ask not what our country can give us in tax breaks, but what we can give to our country in taxes so as to make our country whole again. We need to demonstrate our compassion for our fellow citizens in this once great country so we can be a great country once again.
Clara Haignere
Teachers are being treated like the Whipping Boy for this downturn in the economy. If you segregate the data, city school districts and low-income districts fail often. However, suburban school districts and affluent disctrict are thriving. Can we please consider community reform before we beat up well meaning teachers. The teachers did not take down the economy, but we continue to crush them. Please take care of our educators and start going after the 1 percent.
Vincent Pennisi
My teacher retirement pension fund has gone down as higher payments, $40.00 a month, are taken out of my account. The Social Security payment has also been reduced for me and my husband. How are you going to support retired people and their medical coverage?
silvia manzano
As a retired teacher from Texas now living in KY, and working a job which pays into Social Security, I am very upset that when I am ready to retire a second time, my Social Security benefits will be subject to an "offset" due to my having served the state of Texas for over 22 years. I have also suffered because my pension has NEVER gone up since my retirement...no COLAS for TRS members...and the high cost of electricity, food, medicine, etc. really takes a chunk out of my money. I know we need to cut back...but why do I have to "cut back" and not the millionaires and billionaires? Social Security is not an "entitlement"...we earned it.
Kathryn Vauthrin
Tell us his plan on how he is going to dismantel the greed and end the corruption of Wall Street. The time for talk is over and serious action needs to happen now.
Daniel Fernandez
Help us save our unions and give teachers power to change policy without fear of losing jobs. The assault on education has reached an unbelievable level of corruption and wickedness. We will be forced to keep the status quo or risk being unemployed. Our education system is failing so let's get the politicians and business men out of the way and let people who know how to educate do the job. You are where you are because someone taught you. Let us teach again. This is a class war we won't tolerate and can't afford to loose. Help us keep our jobs and protect our future...the children.
Diane Fernandez
I've had to assist financially several family members and my partner because they have been laid off and their unemployment benefits have been cut. I've also taken in my cousin because if not, he would have been homeless. Many of my friends have had to move in with their friends or family members. Americans need steady jobs that pay a decent salary, because the standard of living is high and the wages are low. The Middle Class has been shafted and always carries the burden. It's unjust for Americans who have worked their entire life, paid taxes, and now can't benefit from unemployment or food stamps. It's unfair, and un-American.
Jacqueline Carrero
Although President Obama helped the lower middle class with tax cuts, he compromised with funding cuts on health care for public schools. That hurt me as a St. Louis Public School Nurse. It hurts the poor children that rarely see Dr.s. I paid more out of pocket the last few years than ever for necessary equipment like printers and ink cartridges for health reports being sent home to the parents and for supplies. A sick child doesn't learn well. A dead child can't learn.

No guest as of yet.

6 from batch and we would still be in this - captain - what a joke he is - let me guess his reaction "one of those nights?" - yes just like for Australia and at cardiff etc etc etc etc zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Batchelor was ill this evening it turns out. Still would expect more but maybe a little more understandable?
Sorry for the delay.
Reaction from Alun Rossiter now, who was not best pleased.
"It doesn't matter who it is, we should perform better than that and I'm disappointed by the performance from some of the boys tonight," he said.
"Troy did come to me before the meeting and said he wasn't feeling well, so that could be part of it, but it wasn't a good performance from everyone. Peter did his job, Dak did his job and Stevie did alright but the rest struggled a little.
"We seem to struggle down here and I don't know why, I really don't know why.
"We've got Lakeside next and it's a home meeting which we need to win. We need to be taking maximum points from all of our home meetings now if we're going to make the play-offs."
Reaction to come.
Heat 15: Janowski, Ward, Kildemand, North R; 61.07 - 5-1 (56-35)
The Poole duo have the max sorted by turn three.
9:41pm Wed 6 Aug 14
lawnmower man says
1 Point from batch wot a joke hes suspose to be a heat leader wish we kept hans or bought doyley in
@AndyWarren_ batch what a joke #adverspeedway— @robinsfan123 06 August 2014
Janowski, Ward, North, Kildemand for heat 15.
Heat 14: Milik, Newman, Morris, S Worrall; 61.72 - 5-1 (51-34)
Maximum from the tapes. Morris chases Newman to the line and hit the fence after the race is finish.
He's bruised apparently but no more it seems
Worrall takes Greaves' place in heat 14, as usual. Hope Nathan's ok.
Heat 13: Janowski, Kildemand, Ward, Batchelor; 60.37 - 4-2 (46-33)
Ward's last corner move on Batchelor earns another home heat advantage.
Heat 12: Grajczonek, North, S Worrall, Newman; 61.0 – 3-3 (42-31)
Grajczonek wins from the tapes.
9:18pm Wed 6 Aug 14
archeroo says
Re your comment of there wasn't much choice as guest. That may be true but Richie Worrall has been shocking the last month so it was terrible booking... Again. We are terrible at booking guests.. Fact
Who would you have had though?
Newman in for Compton.
Heat 11: Janowski, Kildemand (tac), Morris, Pawlicki FX; 60.50 – 3-5 (39-28)
Another incident as Pawlicki slows and is thumped into the fence by Morris, with the Pirates rider excluded as both walk away. In the re-run, with Kildemand in black and white, Janowski rides a great first turn despite being given a huge bump, to limit the damage.
The result of our earlier poll looks to be coming true, unless Kildemand can do something about it here.
Pawlicki is up to a big cheer.
Pawlicki excluded and still down, Morris walks away.
Another big hit as Pawlicki slows and is hit by Morris, with the Pirates rider tossed along the air fence like a rag doll. Medics there.
Kildemand goes in black and white
Heat 10: Ward, Grajczonek, Batchelor, R Worrall; 60.31 – 5-1 (36-23)
Ward basically rides across the grass to pass R Worrall and then scythes through Batchelor.
Back at tapes as we resume,
9:04pm Wed 6 Aug 14
Bristols says
Surely we could have got a better guest then Ritchie, bad mistake there.
In all honestly there was not an awful lot to choose from. Gustafsson's average is 6.13 so Worrall was probably the best option. Barker, Lambert, Thorssell, Lahti?
Greaves withdrawn from the meeting but he would probably have been replaced by Worrall for ride four anyway. Hope he's alright.
Was that an intentional move from Poole to stop the tactical from being used? Who knows.
The doctor's been called back to see Greaves, worryingly, so racing suspended.
Heat nine: S Worrall, Compton, Newman R, Greaves FX; 61.56 - 2-3 (31-22)
Big hit as Greaves slides off on his own and is thumped into by Compton. Both walk away but Greaves is excluded. Newman fails on the line in the re-run as Worrall easily beats Compton in a match race.
Racing suspended for a little as the doctor is looking at Greaves
A bit of work on the track after that incident.
Obviously he is excluded too.
Greaves walked away holding his shoulder.
Bad crash as Greaves comes off alone, Compton lays it down to try and avoid him but can only thump into the back of Nathan. Both are up.
8:36pm Wed 6 Aug 14
wickite says
The only thing Batch looks like winning is the toss - why oh why didnt we retain Hans?
One chance and one chance only for the Robins to use black and white. That will be in heat 10.
Heat eight: Milik, Pawlicki, North, R Worrall; 60.34 – 5-1 (29-19)
North's winning run ends with the Pirates pairing far too quick.
Morris said he can't afford to get beaten by reserves now he's moved to number four, but it's happened at the first time of asking. Newman's a good rider though.
Heat seven: Newman, Morris, Grajczonek, Greaves; 61.62 – 4-2 (24-18)
Morris twitching at the start his time forces Grajczonek through the tapes, but the Aussie can't repeat Janowski's heroics.
Grajczonek off 15 this time.
Morris moves on the line again, with Grajczonek this time breaking the tapes.
Heat six: Kildemand, Pawlicki, Milik, Batchelor; 60.03 – 3-3 (20-16)
Batchelor rides a good first turn to allow Kildemand through to take the win, but the Aussie slips to the back in a shared heat.
Heat five: Ward, Janowski, Morris, R Worrall; 60.62 - 5-1 (17-13)
Morris's movement at the start forces Janowski to drop too early and break the tapes and, going off 15 metres, the Pole works his way superbly through both Robins for a 5-1.
Looks like Alun Rossiter is taking a closer look at heat 5, from the centre green. I reckon he wants a look at Morris.
Janowski is excluded and is now going off 15m.
Morris moves, forcing Janowski through the tapes.
@AndyWarren_ robins need greaves to score for any chance of a win #Adverspeedway— @robinsfan123 06 August 2014
Heat four: North, Milik, S Worrall, Compton; 60.88 – 2-4 (12-12)
Brilliant first corner from North sees him round Milik and take the win despite the Czech throwing the bike at the Robins man in every corner.
Heat three: Janowski, Pawlicki, Worrall, Batchelor; 60.63 - 5-1 (10-8)
Strong turn one from both Pirates muscles out Batchelor, who eventually pulls up.
Encouraging from Greaves. Very poor gate but rode well for little reward.
Heat two: Newman, S Worrall, Compton, Greaves; 61.38 – 4-2 (5-7)
Both Robins miss the start but Worrall does well to round Compton. Greaves looks fast but can't pass.
Pretty petulant from Ward there if you ask me.
@AndyWarren_ well done to the ref letting it go while Ward just stood in the middle of the track waving his arms! #adverspeedway— @STFC1969 06 August 2014
Red lights on with Newman rollling. Straight back round to the start.
Heat one: North, Kildemand, Grajczonek, Ward R; 60.66 – 1-5 (1-5)
Kildemand gives Ward a massive bump in turn one and the Robins have a 5-1. Ward barely makes an effort to leave the track after stopping but the ref allows it to continue.
Riders at the tapes for heat one
Introductions done and we're ready to go.
@AndyWarren_ 2-0. A goal in the last 5 of each half.— @chetanv82 06 August 2014
Troy Batchelor wins the toss and takes one and three in heat one for the Robins
@AndyWarren_ 53-37— @SamMorshead_SA 06 August 2014

@AndyWarren_ Robins to struggle tonight unfortunately - Poole victory by 10+ points. Pirates will be buzzing after Monday....— @chisy10 06 August 2014
As many of you have noticed, yes, the Pirates do have a new reserve this evening.
7:22pm Wed 6 Aug 14
Di kanny oh says
One minute Compton was too high up the fast track list gets injured and somehow has moved down the list to 25th thus allowing Poole to sign him talk about corruption of the system and exploiting this fast track riders situation I believe teams should not be allowed to keep changing teams unless one member is injured, speedway is a farce and complete joke at present and needs a complete overhaul.
4:19pm Wed 6 Aug 14
Bristols says
Hope we ride under protest at the rule bending by Poole now they have signed Benji Compton, even their own supporters are asking how they have got away with it!!!
7:16pm Wed 6 Aug 14
deano... says
our line up on here is missing batch but saying that he always goes missing when were at poole
All sorted, good spot. Hopefully he does turn up...
One change for the Robins, with Richie Worrall in for absent Swede Simon Gustafsson.
It's a nice sunny evening here in Dorset so hopefully we're set for a good meeting.
Good evening everyone and welcome to the Adver's live coverage of Swindon Robins' trip to Poole.

As of Friday afternoon, the Level 1 Snow Emergency has been canceled in both Summit and Lorain Counties.
Hundreds of people got a big surprise Thursday evening when they lost power. The problem was on the west side of Cleveland and parts of Lakewood.
"It's very dark and cold and I don't know. I hope it comes back on soon," said Ashley Gochnauer.
Ashley and Shelley are next door neighbors on the west side. Both lost power early in the evening.
"They'll get it back on but it's probably going to be awhile," added Shelley Combs.
Their entire neighborhood was dark. At one point, hundreds were without power.
First Energy said high winds were to blame for the outages. So many were bracing for a long, cold night in the dark.
"Tonight, put as many blankets on the bed as I can. Just make sure my computer is charged. I'm trying to use it as little as possible so I can watch movies or something," said Shelley.
"I guess lots of blankets or I'll have to go to a friend's house and stay for the night," Ashley said.
It wasn't just homes. Traffic lights were out at several intersections like this one on Clifton Blvd. and some businesses were feeling the impact of this weather.
Even though winter really is just beginning, some are already dreaming about a change.
"I am done. It was pretty for the holidays. It would have been nice if it left. I think it would be nice to have spring soon," said Shelley.
Unfortunately, we have a long way to go until spring.
Good news for the people we interviewed Thursday night. Their power came back on a couple of hours ago.

Parallel BarsPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
In all of my multi-movement works, I carefully consider how formal parallels interact. Should all the endings be similar? Should I go for maximum contrast in my beginnings? Should there be a gradual development from first movement to last? These questions cannot be answered generically – like many life-choices, the answer is different in each instance.

In the closet: Dress, Tibi; Scarf, Leif; Earrings, Oscar de la Renta; Pants, J Brand; Sweater, Marcus Lupfer; Bag, Coach; Eyeshadow, Nars
I am always excited to see the standout colors of the year and projected pallets for the coming seasons. It's a great way to narrow in on new choices for the wardrobe or colorful accents around the home. My past color stories have involved the bright 2012 favorite, tangerine tango, and the naturally soft margarita moss, but this time I'm focusing on cobalt blue, a deeper more moody color. The shade always reminds me of precious gems with a royal touch, smooth satins, and warming velvet. Since the closet isn't the only place that should enjoy this luxe color, I've pulled together some home accents that offer a twist on this fashionable color. Dotted throughout the home and mixed into the wardrobe, this color is a welcome shift from the standard reds and golds of the season.

The boy's soccer program at Sewickley Academy has been one of the elite soccer programs in the state since the mid 1990's. The Varsity won the AA PIAA State Championship in 1997 and the A PIAA State Championship in 2007, the AA WPIAL Championship in 1998 and the A WPIAL Championship in 2000, 2001, 2005, and 2007. The team has been in the WPIAL playoffs consecutively for 14 seasons and has missed the State Playoffs only three times in those 14 seasons. The coaching philosophy includes the expectation that all players be in excellent physical shape.
Soccer is a very demanding physical sport and in order to teach the necessary skills, a solid foundation of fitness is needed. One cannot be a good soccer player without being in superior physical condition. Ball skills are the second most important aspect of playing soccer. The practice sessions include a lot of individual skill and team skill and tactical sessions. There will be many repetitions at times for basic skill improvement. In practice and games, we encourage players to take risks and gain confidence with all sorts of ball movements, shots and skills. Have confidence in your ability! Take a shot and shoot with the correct technique and ultimately you will be successful! If you miss ten times, then try it eleven times! Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Head Coach Bruce Atkinson
Coach Atkinson played soccer in high school and college. He has coached soccer at many different levels, including coach the Academy's junior varsity team for the past three years. He is a graduate of Colorado College. Bruce currently lives in Ben Avon with his wife Christine and their two dogs, Stx and Rosie.

Scientific name: Phalacrocorax albiventer purpurascens
Common name: Macquarie Shag
Other names: Imperial Shag (Macquarie Island), Imperial Shag (if considered conspecific with Leucocarbo atriceps), Blue-eyed Cormorant, Imperial Cormorant, Blue-eyed Shag and King Shag.
Cormorants and shags are distinctive aquatic birds typically breeding on both mainland and island sites. Those that are restricted to remote islands are typically sedentary. Recent reviews of the taxonomy have resulted in the recognition at the specific level of several forms restricted to particular islands (Shirihai 2002). The Macquarie Shag represents such forms and has been the subject of several studies (Brothers 1985, Green 1997a, b; Green & Williams 1997).
The taxonomy of the Imperial Shag complex remains disputed (Green et al. 1990; Green 1997a). Some authors recognised eight subspecies of Leucocarbo atriceps (Christidis & Boles 1994; Harrison 1983; Sibley & Monroe 1990) whilst others (Marchant & Higgins 1990) recognise eight distinct species, with P. albiventer purpurascens restricted to Macquarie Island. Others considered the Imperial Shag (L. atriceps) group to comprise multiple subspecies, including P. albiventer purpurascens (Turbott 1990; BirdLife International 2004e). Such a treatment consequently results in the Least Concern rating by BirdLife International (2004e).
The Macquarie Shag is a medium-sized, black and white marine shag. The adult form reaches a length of 75 cm with a wingspan of 110 cm and weighs between 2.5 and 3.5 kg. Sexes are alike and both undergo seasonal plumage changes when not breeding, including; the absence of crest and plumes, dull/faded dorsal plumage and soft parts, and yellow caruncles (Marchant & Higgins 1990).
Adult breeding birds have a glossy black top and sides of head and hindneck with a black crest on the forehead. Demarkation between the black cap and white face starts at the gape and extends back below ear-coverts leaving the lower cheeks and throat white, and giving the face a dark appearance. Upper wing-coverts are a blackish-brown with an oily green sheen. The tail is black with white bases to the shafts, while the throat, sides of the neck and the rest of the underparts are white. The bill is grey with a horn colored patch near the tip of the lower mandible and a prominent pair of orange caruncles above the base of the bill. The eye ring is blue and the iris is dark brown. The rest of the facial skin is orange-brown with yellow spots and legs and feet are pink to purple-grey (Marchant & Higgins 1990).
Juveniles are distinguished from adults as they are predominately brown with a slight green sheen above and white below. The extent of the pale-brown alar patches varies. Juveniles do not have crest, plumes or caruncles. Facial skin is bluish grey and legs and feet are a pink-brown (Marchant & Higgins 1990).
The Macquarie Shag is restricted to Macquarie Island and the adjacent Bishop Island and Clerk Island, 33 km to the south (Marchant & Higgins 1990). There are 23 recorded breeding sites for Macquarie Shags, with all but two sites restricted to offshore stacks or islets, or stacks attached to the shore (Brothers 1985). Not all sites are used each year, and birds may interchange between colonies. Macquarie Shags have been recorded nesting at the adjacent Bishop and Clerk Islets (Lugg et al. 1978).
The Macquarie Shag is sedentary, making only local movements around the islands. Brothers (1985) reported that they are poor fliers, unable to make headway in strong winds (> 40 knots), and their morphology (small wings, heavy bones and water permeable plumage) restricted long range movements. Macquarie Shags are restricted to inshore waters during the breeding season, but may travel further offshore, up to 100 km, during the winter season (Brothers 1985).
The extent of occurrence is estimated at 75 km² with high reliability (Garnett & Crowley 2000).
The area of occupancy is estimated at 50 km² with high reliability (Garnett & Crowley 2000).
The number of Macquarie Shags breeding on the island in the 1970s was estimated by Brothers (1985) at 660 breeding pairs, an estimate that does not include the nests recorded from Bishop and Clerk Islets, where Lugg and colleagues (1978) estimated 100 pairs.
Garnett and Crowley (2000) estimate the total population of the Macquarie Shag to be 760 pairs with 2500 breeding birds. The population estimate of 760 pairs includes around 100 pairs on Bishop and Clerk Islands (although, more recently, 164 nests in three colonies were observed by Brothers (1985)). Between 1975 and 1979, 23 breeding colonies were recorded, 19 of which were active, ranging in size from three to 320 pairs (Garnett & Crowley 2000). However, a 2003 survey on Macquarie Island comprised an island wide search of all known and potential breeding sites. Eleven colonies comprising 472 nesting pairs were located in October 2003. Although it is difficult to detect trends from these data, this figure represents 30% fewer than the 660 pairs observed in 19 sites in the 1970s (Schulz & Lynn 2003).
The number of Macquarie Shags at colonies fluctuates, but this is probably because individual birds move from one colony to another (Garnett & Crowley 2000).
An absence of comparable longitudinal data precludes assessment of population trends for the Macquarie Shag. Further systematic surveys are required to confidently assess trends.
A Macquarie Shag which was banded as a nestling in February 1963 was recovered ten years and nine months later (ABBBS 1974). Brothers (1985) reported that banding records showed that Macquarie Shags can live for at least 13 years.
The Macquarie Shag forages in the subantarctic inshore waters of Macquarie Island and its outlying islands. Its feeding grounds are nearshore, because the sea-bottom drops away steeply. The species feeds mainly along the western shore, which is less steep.
The Macquarie Shag breeds in small (three nests) to large (300 nests) colonies on bare rocky shores and stacks, on stacks attached to the shore, and among boulders on the shoreline (Brothers 1985). Most of the Shag's breeding colonies are exposed to the prevailing westerly winds. The largest breeding colonies are among boulders on the shore of Macquarie Island, because small stacks accommodate fewer pairs (Brothers 1985). Nests on bare rocks are washed clean by water from year to year, because they are not far above the high-tide mark, and are in the spray zone. Macquarie Shags place new nests on the exact site that they used previously (Marchant & Higgins 1990).
The Macquarie Shag roosts solitarily or in small to large (600-800 birds) flocks on bare ground. During the breeding season, most adults, while not incubating, roost together at the seaward edge of the colony. Some birds sleep or preen beside the nest when they are not incubating (Brothers 1985). Large foraging flocks leave roosting and nesting areas before 10am and return about 4pm (W.J.M. Vestjens, as cited in Marchant & Higgins 1990).
The Macquarie Shag is a sedentary species that breed in colonies and are gregarious at roost sites and when feeding. Nest building starts in July. Nests typically comprise a truncated column structure composed of mud, guano and vegetation (Brothers 1985). By mid September, 50% of nests are well formed and by the end of September, birds commence sitting on empty nests (Marchant & Higgins 1990). The Macquarie Shag nests in small groups and colonies. It defends its nest site only, and nests are 1 to 2 m apart (Marchant & Higgins 1990). Clutches are generally comprised of one to three blue-green eggs (Brothers 1985). The earliest egg laying is around the 30th of September, and the latest is in mid-January, but most eggs are laid during the last half of October and the first half of November. Most eggs have hatched by late December. Chicks fledge from late January to mid-February (Brothers 1985; Marchant & Higgins 1990).
Breeding success is problematic to assess given the habit of the young birds moving from their nests before becoming fully independent of parents. During three seasons on Macquarie Island, Brothers (1985) estimated mean success rates of 57 to 61%, reflecting a production rate of 1.0 to 1.9 chicks per nest. Marchant and Higgins (1990) assessed 159 eggs laid during three seasons. Of the 119 (75%) that hatched, 97 of the resulting chicks (82%) survived to January 10th, and 86 (72%) survived to January 29th, giving a possible total success of 57% to 61%. The mean fledging rate in these three seasons was from one to two chicks per nest.
During the breeding season, adult Macquarie Shags forage for only two to four hours at a time, feeding their chicks around six times per day (Brothers 1985).
There are no data on adult or juvenile survival rates for the Macquarie Shag, the mobility of birds among colonies making such assessments difficult.
The Macquarie Shag breeds on Macquarie Island, Bishop and Clerk Islets (Marchant & Higgins 1990).
The Macquarie Shag eats largely fish, some crustaceans and other benthic (bottom-dwelling) invertebrates (Marchant & Higgins 1990). Brothers (1985) found that the bird's diet was comprised entirely of benthic fish, mainly Magellanic Rockcod Paranotothenia magellanica, some Antarctic Plunderfish Harpagifer bispinis and the remainder of fish eaten were probably species of Nototheniidae (cod icefish). One stomach contained crustaceans and fish (Marchant & Higgins 1990).
The Macquarie Shag forages in shallow water, under rocks and in kelp beds (Marchant & Higgins 1990). It hunts entirely by pursuit diving, possibly as deep as 50 m (Brothers 1985). During the breeding season, the species feeds solitarily. From late March to August, flocks of up to 40 birds may feed together, diving simultaneously several times, then flying about 50 m and feeding again (Brothers 1985).
The Macquarie Shag probably does not range more than a few kilometres from Macquarie Island. It is confined to local movements because it cannot make headway against winds that are more than 40 knots (Brothers 1985), and has small wings, heavy bones and water-permeable plumage, preventing long rests on water (Marchant & Higgins 1990). The Macquarie Shag does not fly overland between coasts, so it sometimes becomes stranded on the eastern coast during westerly storms. Populations at Bishop and Clerk Islands probably forage locally (Marchant & Higgins 1990).
There are no other species on Macquarie Island that are similar to the Macquarie Shag. Elsewhere, birds that resemble the species include Antarctic Shags P. bransfieldensis, and all blue-eyed cormorants that have sometimes been considered to be one species the Imperial Shag Leucocarbo atriceps, together with the Imperial Shag (Heard Island) Leucocarbo atriceps nivalis (Marchant & Higgins 1990).
Both Heard and Macquarie Shags are considered threatened because the populations are small and restricted in distribution (Marchant & Higgins 1990). As a result, the birds could be adversely affected by effects of climate changes on sea temperature and food supply (Garnett & Crowley 2000) in addition to other threats that affect small and vulnerable species of seabirds, such as, marine pollution and marine debris.
Cats Felis catus were identified as a possible predator of Macquarie Shag chicks, with cats being regularly observed on the periphery of colonies (Selkirk et al. 1990). Cats have since been eradicated from Macquarie Island, but rats Rattus rattus have been observed in disused nest bowls on Macquarie Island (Schulz & Lynn 2003).
The two major causes of mortality of Macquarie Shag nestlings were predation by Subantarctic Skuas, Catharacta lonnbergi (Brothers 1985). Skuas can dislodged large chicks from nests when the chick is only partly covered by a parent.
The effects of adverse weather on breeding success may be manifested not only be physical destruction of nests but also by restricting access to available prey. On Macquarie Island up to 90 % mortality of Shag nestlings has been observed after a single storm (N. Brothers pers comm. in Pemberton & Gales 1987). Storms on Macquarie Island have also been directly implicated in the death of adults when colonies are wave-washed and in severe winter storm events (Schulz & Lynn 2003).
Human mediated deaths have also been recorded with fatal strikes with radio masts quite common (Brothers 1985, Green 1997). The shallow and inshore foraging behaviour of the Shags makes them unlikely candidates for interactions with commercial fishing operations around Macquarie Island. Fishing is prohibited within 3 nautical miles of Macquarie Island, and the only recorded interaction of a Macquarie Shag interacting with fishing vessels relates to an occasion on a trawler targeting toothfish Dissotichus spp. in 2002 when a bird 'landed on the bow of a boat, and flew off leaving a few drops on blood' (AFMA unpublished data, as cited in DEH 2005p).
Starvation is also a common cause of mortality among Macquarie Shag chicks (Brothers 1985).
The following threat abatement recommendations are outlined in the Issues Paper: Population status and threats to ten seabird species listed as threatened under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (DEH 2005p).
- On Macquarie Island, conduct annual island-wide breeding census, incorporating visits to all sites known to have been used for breeding. Surveys to be timed and recorded so that meaningful assessments of population status and inter-annual variation can be drawn.
- The presence/status of the Macquarie Island Shag population breeding on Bishop and Clerk Islands should be assessed.
- Progress feral pest eradication program on Macquarie Island to mitigate possibility of rat predation on eggs and chicks.
- Ensure effective quarantine programs at all breeding sites to minimise introduction of pests.
- Where possible long radio and HF dipole aerials should be replaced by whip aerials to reduce the incidental morality caused by bird strike.
- All colonies to be protected and managed in such a way that human disturbance is minimised.
- Maintain current prohibitions of fishing in waters immediately adjacent to the breeding islands.
The Action Plan for Australian Birds and the Issues Paper: Population status and threats to ten seabird species listed as threatened under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 provide guides to threat abatement and management strategies for the Macquarie Shag (DEH 2005p; Garnett & Crowley 2000).

Moderated by Rick Badie
A recent survey of 700 U.S. companies found that four out of five workers are unhappy with their current positions. A majority, 86 percent, plan to look for new positions come 2013; others have already started the hunt. What's an employer to do? Our guest columnist examines the reasons behind worker discontent, while another writer suggests steps employers can take to mitigate the malaise.
Job discontent unprecedented
By Owen J. Sullivan
For the fourth year in a row, most workers are expressing their intentions to seek new employment, according to Right Management's most recent poll of more than 700 U.S. employees.
Eighty-six percent said they plan to look for new positions in 2013; another 8 percent said they may do so and are already networking. Only 5 percent intend to stay in their current positions, according to the survey. The new findings are remarkably similar to those of the past two years.
At a minimum, the findings are a sign of considerable job dissatisfaction across North America rather than an absolute forecast of projected turnover. The constant drumbeat of downsizing, coupled with the increase in responsibilities without proper compensation or job promotion, has put added stress on workers. These factors, combined with ongoing economic uncertainty and volatility around job growth and job security, have warranted exploration of new positions. This kind of frustration may not be unusual, even in a strong job market, but the levels of discontent we are now finding have to be without precedent.
The survey is a barometer of sorts. Our findings should be seen as a way to gauge worker satisfaction as well as job commitment. Now that we have a few years of consistent longitudinal data, we are confident that our data are reliable. What we are finding is what behavioral psychologists call "flight cognition," a wish to depart a situation, not necessarily an indicator of actual employee turnover. Nevertheless, when more than four out of five workers seem so unhappy, it ought to concern top management.
The findings may also reflect the continuous job hunt. With so many job boards and constant social networking, workers appear to have convinced themselves that they are truly job hunting when all they are doing is surfing the Internet. Internet job boards can be compared to window shopping, something to do during a down moment. A real job search, which is a much more serious proposition, requires a deliberate and concerted effort to make a change. However, the constant access and push and pull of the Internet and job boards make it easier to shift a window shopper into a buyer.
Addressing the discontent may certainly be difficult in a down economy, but senior leaders need to show they are up to the challenge. Employees want leaders to understand the issues and empathize with them. Beyond the basics, leaders must set a clear path forward with an honest degree of optimism but a realistic game plan. It is important to communicate with employees that the tough decisions being made are to position the firm to be more competitive and sustainable in the future.
Management needs to be proactive when retaining top performers, who may be the first to get competitive job offers. These people always have career options. It is a manager's job to know who these workers are, to let them know they are valued and to tune in to their individual motivations to hold onto them.
Do not wait. Have open and transparent conversations about the realities of the business to allay any fears and uncertainties. Provide workers with feedback on what they are doing really well and ways to help them improve. A mentoring relationship between manager and employee will build mutual trust and, it is hoped, limit future defections.

Get your employeens to stay
By Peter Barron Stark
Most of the managers and supervisors we work with tell us that improving morale is one of their biggest challenges. They are running lean staffs. Everyone, from CEOs to employees, are being required to do more with less. In this scenario, both managers and employees end up feeling burnt out, undervalued and underpaid. To top it off, many employees are hesitant to speak up for fear they will be let go.
Most likely, the economy will continue to grow in 2013, and your employees will have more employment options than in the past five years. The November 2012 report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed an increase of 146,000 jobs. With the employment gates beginning to open, which way will your employees run?
There is good news. Although a recent study by Right Management stated that 86 percent of employees intend to actively seek a new positions, our Peter Barron Stark Cos. data collected from companies that conduct ongoing employee engagement surveys tell us there is hope for employers. When we ask employees if their company offers the kind of job they will want three years from now, seven out of 10 respond positively.
How do you get your employees to want to stay?
The following tips will help you keep morale high and loyalty strong so that when employees have a choice, they will stay, not stray.
Communicate, communicate, communicate: Establish a clear, positive vision, along with roles and goals for every employee. Even when the news isn't good or you don't have the answer, honestly communicate with your employees on an ongoing basis.
Ask questions and listen: Make sure communication is not only top-down, but from the bottom up. Conduct an employee engagement or opinion survey. Ask employees what they think, listen to their responses, and then take action. Let them know how you used their input.
Provide autonomy: In theory, if you've hired good talent, they should be able to do their jobs without a lot of hands-on support from you. Give people enough distance to do their jobs in the way they think will best accomplish their goals.
Recognize team members: Whole books have been written on the importance of recognition as a morale booster. Customized, individual recognition given by a leader to one or more employees for a specific accomplishment is a much more effective morale booster than organized, institutionalized recognition programs.

I've been fortunate during the past 3 years to have an awesome job with good pay and benefits. But I previously worked for a company that did all kinds of crazy things to it's employees when the recession hit. The message coming from the management pool was basically that you were lucky to have a job at all, so here is some more work that has to get done, no matter how long it takes you to do it. No raises, no training, decline in benefits, no half days off on Christmas Eve (of coarse management still got their annual bonus). That works when employees are unable to find jobs somewhere else, but when that tide changes, these type companies will reap what they sewn. Simple as that.

Los Angeles, Ca.- The Hornets Eric Gordon is showing more improvement as he rehabs in LA and is still on pace to return to the team by year's end.
Gordon is technically working on his knee, but his quad has been an issue as well, with the muscle atrophied down to 10% strength at one point.
General Manager Dell Demps says Gordon's quad is now at 75%, and he is participating in two-a-day workouts from 8:30-4:00 daily.
The quad muscles must be strong enough to stabilize the knee or further injury will likely result.
Demps is the one who suggested the rehab center in LA to Gordon. Demps gave Gordon two choices after realizing the extent of his injury: a center in Houston or the program in LA, housed in a secluded area near the Galaxy's Home Depot Center, which Demps favored.
Several pro athletes are there currently rehabbing, and the Hornets are using it as a guide for the rehab area in the team's future new facility.
Demps reviews all of Gordon's records and tests results. Demps says he'd like to have Gordon return to New Orleans when he's about 90%.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (May 20, 2013) – Sophomore outfielder Vinny Zarrillo (Forked River, N.J.) of the Rutgers baseball picked up a spot on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll, the league office announced Monday. He went 8-for-13 in the series at USF to lock down the conference batting at .407 for the BIG EAST season.
It is the first career conference recognition for the sophomore, who was named NJCBA First Team All-State last week.
Zarrillo, who leads RU with a .346 average for the season, started off the series going 4-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI. Then after collecting a knock in the middle game, the left-handed hitter picked up three hits in the finale victory, including a three-run double into the left field corner to break the game open. He additionally stole a pair of bases and is tied for the team lead with 12 for the year.
Zarrillo becomes the second straight BIG EAST batting champion from the Scarlet Knights and third in four years. The outfielder also recorded a .476 on base percentage in conference games. Patrick Kivlehan (.402) took the batting title last year, with Steve Nyisztor (.434) winning in 2010.
Rutgers will next open up play in the BIG EAST Championships against USF Wednesday at 8 p.m. on ESPN3. The tournament is being held at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Fla.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say they've arrested a 35-year-old Louisville man after he was caught trying to break into a college dorm.
It happened at 2 a.m. on Saturday, at the corner of Bank St. and N. 24th St.
Police say witnesses saw 35-year-old Phillip J. Earhart walk toward the building and try to open all the windows. He then allegedly climbed up onto the roof and tried to gain access to the building from there.
When officers arrived, Earhart was allegedly seen trying to pull the vents off of the building in an attempt to get inside.
The building was a dorm for college students, according to police. Earhart did not live there and had no reason to be there, police say.
He was arrested at the scene and charged with second degree attempted burglary.

Last night, CSCO gave a guidance that disappointed the investors. CSCO's stock suffered a 10% drop today. Networking and information technology stocks were all weak today, especially software. CRM tumbled more than $13, or 9%. Early in the morning, we were playing puts on CRM in the Trading Room:
May 10, 2012 6:51 AMsoftwareweak... CRM coming down... May 10, 2012 6:58 AMCRMweekly 145 puts doubled in 15 minutes! May 10, 2012 7:01 AMCRMtripled!!
Within 15 minutes, CRM weekly 145 puts went from $1 to $3.5! These weekly 145 puts closed at $9.83 and went above $10 intraday! FFIV lost 4.1% and VMW was down 3.9%. RHT slipped 3.2%. CHKP stumbled 4.18%. Among the techs, GOOG, AAPL, and AMZN were propping the market up.
Energy stocks bounced a big today after the recent sharp drop. Eventually the market eked out a win, with the Dow up +19.98 points, SPX adding +3.41 points, and Nasdaq slipping just 1.07 point.Most sectors were flat. FDN (internet) fell 1.12%. IGV (software) lost 2.03%.
SPXSPX added +3.41 points to close at 1357.99, below 1360. Its daily MAs and MACD went down.
NasdaqNasdaq slid 1.07 points to close at 2933.64. The daily MAs and MACD went lower.
Both SPX and Nasdaq closed below their respective support levels, SPX 1360 and Nasdaq 2950. The market tried all day to stay above SPX 1360, but, lost it in the last hour. Financials started to slip. After the market, JPM announced that it suffered a $2 billion trading loss in the last month. In the after-hour trading, financials were down quite a bit. Asian markets were mostly lower at the time of this writing.
While the US market is still vulnerable, it is still stronger than most foreign markets. It may still need to test SPX 1340, but, it is trying hard to draw a near-term bottom. We'll have to see how much JPM's news will affect the market tomorrow. We may see buyers on weakness again. On the downside, we'll look for software stocks to fall further. Financials could also see a new leg down.

LEWISBURG, Pa. - Buoyed by a school-record eight Patriot League championships in 2005-06, Bucknell captured the Patriot League Presidents' Cup for the 12th time in the 16-year history of the conference. The Bison compiled 115.75 points in the Cup standings, the most ever for Bucknell and the third-most in league history.

In addition to the league's all-sports trophy for both men and women, Bucknell also won the women's trophy for the 12th time. The Bison women set records for points earned and margin of victory.
"Congratulations to all of the Bison student-athletes and coaches on this terrific honor," said Bucknell president Brian C. Mitchell.

Remember that Office Online programs run in your web browser, and they work a little differently than the Office desktop programs you might be familiar with. For example, you'll need to switch from Reading view to Editing view when you want to edit. When you create a new document, Office Online programs open in Editing view, but when you open a file (by following a link, for example), Office Online programs open in Reading view. To switch to Editing view, press Tab until you get to the Edit command, and then choose the command for editing.
A couple of other differences to keep in mind:
Word Online To generate a view of documents in PDF format, which is available to screen readers, open the document in Reading view, and press the Tab key to the View document in more accessible mode command. Then press Enter.
PowerPoint Online To view presentations in a format that is available to screen readers, open the presentation in Reading view, and tab to File > Help > Accessible Mode. (In SharePoint 2010, tab to File, press Enter, and then press the Down Arrow key to the Outline View command. Then press Enter.)
