So why exactly did CAT® team up with "Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe? Mike says it best himself: "Because wherever I go, that's what I see the experts wear. CAT footwear on the guys who do the kinds of jobs that make civilized life possible for the rest of us." With slip-resistant outsoles, rugged leather, and certified CAT toughness built in, these work "kicks" live up to that reputation, and then some.

Diabetic ketoacidosis poses enough of a threat on its own. But in a small number of cases, it leaves sufferers open to a potentially fatal infection called mucormycosis.
University of California Los Angeles researchers decided to look into the fungal infection (which has a 50 percent mortality rate) and its connection with DKA. They not only found a clear link, they also discovered an avenue that could lead to new, effective treatments.
In the June 1 issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers connected both DKA and the life-threatening infection to a specific protein. The protein is produced, they found, when human cells are subjected to the glucose and iron levels of diabetic ketoacidosis. What's more, that glucose-regulated protein 78 essentially opens the door to the fungus that causes mucormycosis.
That's a door you don't want open. A mucormycosis infection invades the body's blood vessels, causing clots and killing living tissue. Treatment includes drugs and surgery, but doctors have struggled with the condition's high mortality rates. Survivors often deal with disfigurement from both the infection and surgery to remove the infected tissue.
The research team, led by Ashraf Ibrahim, took the investigation further than connecting DKA and mucormycosis. Experimenting on mice with ketoacidosis, they re-confirmed the basic link. They then vaccinated the mice with an immune serum that targeted the door-opening protein.
The treatment worked. The mice were more likely to survive the infection than a control group given a non-immune serum. That suggests that more effective human treatments could be on the way, too.
"These results provide insight into why patients with DKA are uniquely susceptible to mucormycosis infections," the researchers wrote in their conclusion, "and provide a foundation for therapeutic interventions against extremely lethal mucormycosis."

The Circle, by Dave Eggers, opens with Mae's first day at her new job at the largest and most powerful company in the world. Mae is twenty-four, and agog at the surroundings and possibilities at The Circle. Her first eighteen months out of college were in a dreary cubicle in the utility company in her dreary hometown. Desperate to escape, she had asked her college friend, Annie, who is already a prominent employee in The Circle, to get her a job there.
Mae is energized by her new work environment, but initially struggles to learn not only her duties in Client Experience, but the requirement to "participate" in The Circle community. She is lightly reprimanded for not sending enough messages and comments online, before she catches on. Soon she is frenetically messaging ("zinging") and commenting everywhere to achieve the participation ranking ("PartiRank," yes, "PartiRank") required.
By the end of the book, she has six screens on her desk, two bracelets (one which monitors her health and statistics, one to monitor messages), and a camera hanging on her neck. Her trust in the values and wisdom of her employer's "Wise Men," the three (yes, three Wise Men) top leaders at the Circle over any of her misgivings.
As Mae becomes more and more connected, she becomes the public face of the company. The Circle is taking its original idea to combine all of a person's accounts with one user name and password, under the person's real name and tied to their credit cards and bank accounts, many steps further.
Privacy is disappearing.
Will Mae help push everyone into constant monitoring and connection, or will she heed the few dissenting voices she hears? Would you make the same decision Mae does?
This is a good read for those who follow current events and wonder where we are headed.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.
‒Nelson Mandela
Over the decades, the world has become more interactive as technology has erased existing borders. Learning a new language can expand us culturally, and can also help us on a developmental level as well. The Telegraph discusses this in an article which focuses on alternative benefits of learning other languages.
1. You become smarter
2. You build multitasking skills
3. You stave off Alzheimer's and dementia
4. Your memory improves
5. You become more perceptive
6. Your decision-making skills improve
7. You improve your English

More than 145 million adults now include walking as part of a physically active lifestyle. We know walking helps control weight, and improves health even without weight loss. People who are physically active live longer and have a lower risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and some cancers.
The biggest difference regular exercise can make is in increasing a person's chances of independence and self care as we get older. Health experts have now discovered that regular exercise can help prevent many of the conditions that frequently lead to a ride in an ambulance to the hospital.
Warmer weather is finally on the way; give your legs a stretch and take a visit to a local park or take a stroll around your neighborhood. Here are some books to give you motivation!
60 hikes within 60 miles, Birmingham : including Tuscaloosa, Sipsey Wilderness, Talladega National Forest, and Shelby County/ Russell Helms
Including hikes near Anniston, Gadsden, Cullman, and Tuscaloosa, "60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Birmingham" reaches out to provide the best day hikes within an hour's drive of the Magic City. From mine-riddled Ruffner Mountain in the Eastwood/Irondale area to the blast furnaces of Tannehill State Park, area hiking paths cross hidden ore shafts, pass over vast deposits of coal, and circle immense limestone quarries.
50 Places to Hike Before You Die / Chris Santella ; foreword by Bob Peixotto
Fifty Places to Hike Before You Die" is the latest offering in the bestselling "Fifty Places" series. Chris Santella, along with top expedition leaders, explores the world's greatest walking adventures. Some, such as the Lunana Snowman Trek in Bhutan and the Kangshung Valley Trek in Tibet, are grueling multiweek adventures at high altitudes. With commentaries from expert trekkers and insider tips that lead the reader off the beaten path.
Walk a hound, lose a pound : how you and your dog can lose weight, stay fit, and have fun together / Phil Zeltzman and Rebecca A. Johnson
A dog is an ideal workout partner: always supportive, happy to go for a walk, and never judgmental. When people and dogs exercise together, fitness and health happen on both ends of the leash. As the obesity epidemic spreads, 70 percent of Americans and 50 percent of dogs are overweight or obese, resulting in staggering health care costs and suffering. The causes, consequences, and treatment for the overweight and obese are strikingly similar in people and dogs. Walk a Hound, Lose a Pound, written by an expert veterinary surgeon and leading nurse researcher, helps you move from a food-centered relationship with dogs to an exercise-centered relationship.
Wild : from lost to found on the Pacific Crest Trail / Cheryl Strayed
At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State--and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than "an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise." But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.
A Walk in the Woods : Rediscovering America on the Appalachain Trail/ Bill Bryson
Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes, and also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings.
For a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. Despite Katz's overwhelming desire to find cozy restaurants, he and Bryson eventually settle into their stride, and while on the trail they meet a bizarre assortment of hilarious characters. A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods has become a modern classic of travel literature.
Happy trails!

There was soon-to-be Calhoun County Sports Hall of Fame inductee Roosevelt Coleman, who told me about springing for kids who had no lunch money and cooking pregame meals because, well, he enjoyed it.
He also spoke of how former Cobb Avenue High coach Robert Mosby became like a second father to him, so much so that Coleman sent Father's Day cards to Mosby and his real dad.
Then I ran into an acquaintance who said there are "rumblings" about an area high school coach who isn't winning enough.
I've always believed there are good high school coaches that don't have wins and titles to show for it. A high school coach must make the most of talent in his or her school's halls, and some schools don't have the athletes their competition has.
But high school coaches often end up being more than coaches to kids that need more than coaching. That's why "rumblings" based on wins and losses alone don't impress me much.

The Source by Wolfgang Puck will celebrate the Year of the Tiger by taking guests on a five-course culinary tour through China.
At this year's Grammy Awards After Party (where some 5,000 are expected to attend), dinner will be waiting, a good way to wind down the evening. Star chef Wolfgang Puck, known for top notch cuisine, won't disappoint. The menu, just released, will cater to anyone with an appetite.
Features Wolfgang's Barbecue Chicken Pizza recipe.
For a hint of spring in dead of winter, prepare warm spinach salad.
What most people don't know is you can use your rice cooker to cook other delicious dishes — anything for which you combine all the ingredients in a single pot at the same time, heat them quickly (as a rice cooker automatically does to get the water boiling for rice) and then cook gently over low heat (as the rice cooker also does).
Wolfgang Puck's Spago Las Vegas, located in the Forum Shops at Caesars Las Vegas, embraces the luxury of Vegas without any of the pretentiousness.
Chef Puck encourages people to participate in The Organic Center's Mission Organic 2010 program, which recommends purchasing at least one organic food item out of every 10 food items whenever you shop.
The Source chef Scott Drewno is interviewed for this article on the new found popularity of kimchi.

It's a sad day in Cisco-land.
The company announced that it would lay off 6,500 employees and sell off a manufacturing plant in Mexico with 5,000 workers. The last time the networking giant made cuts this large was 2001, when it cut 6,000 full-timers and 2,500 contractors. In all, the company's headcount is dropping 15.6%.
Rank-and-file employees must feel some amount of solace knowing that the cuts are being spread around. The layoffs will include many middle managers, the San Jose, Calif. company said in a press release; some 15% of all vice presidents and higher at the company are being let go. Cisco says the cuts will allow it to save $1 billion annually.
Some of the cuts will come voluntarily, with about 2,100 employees having opted for early retirement packages. The company says that it will spend up to $1.3 billion on severance packages. Spread out among the 6,500 affected workers, that averages out to $200,000 per pink slip.
Cisco employed 73,408 workers globally as of its most recent earnings statement, and 11,600 of those work in the company's San Jose headquarters, where it is the second-largest employer after the county government. (WSJ, San Jose Mercury News)

In the book Born to Run, the author, Christopher McDougall, refers to the world's greatest ultra-runners, the Mexican Indian tribe known as the Tarahumara, as great athletes–not as great runners. Far from simply being good at covering ground, the Tarahumara are described as agile, strong, and well-coordinated. They manage to be all these things while still maintaining the ability to run hundreds of miles non-stop. Basically, they have the superhuman endurance of running specialists, without incurring the usual penalties of doing so.

Firefox 3 beta 3 is out, but don't try to use it with Yahoo Mail or Windows Live Mail. Fortunately, fixes are coming.
Read More
You say it is not Firefox's fault, but I don't see how. Could someone explain this to me?
I assume when version 3 comes out that breaks things, after a version 2 came out which worked with things... I am sure there is something I am missing...
Wow. An impressive number of unrelated digs at Microsoft within a single article. Only thing missing is some unwarranted Apple praise.
The "new" Yahoo mail client is the bee knees? Are you joking? It's a slow, buggy POS, regardless of the browser used.
FF3 is more standard compliant than FF2. As such if FF3 throws up errors on webpages that work in other browsers, the question arrises: Is the webpage not following the standards, or is FF3 faulty? In most cases, it is the webpage that isn't following the standards. So in a way, the webpage broke itself.
If you want a browser that does it's best to render pages the way it thinks they were intended, and throws standardization to the wind, use IE6.
Yahoo Mail was relying on a bug in Firefox 2 which was fixed, and therefore Yahoo Mail broke.
Like Nate said, Yahoo has a fix already working internally. As of Tuesday night, this has been deployed to some servers and customers (I haven't had any trouble with Yahoo Mail since Tues. night), but apparently it hasn't been rolled out to all their users and servers yet:
From Bug 398381, the tracking bug for this issue:
Chris Lee 2008-02-12 10:26:44 PST
I'm the product manager for the all new Yahoo! Mail. The latest build we began rolling out last week fixes this bug (hooray!) and adds FF3 to the list of browsers we support on both Windows/Mac.
It will take another couple weeks before all users have this new version, but for those who are able to log in now, feel free to verify the fix and mark this bug as close.
relevant gmail issue:
"GMail (new version) conversation labels appear on their own row in the message list, and names don't show in the contacts manager (bug 415252)"
not a deal-breaker if this doesn't get fixed by RCs/stable release
I can't help but think this is the whiniest post I've ever seen on Ars. Seriously -- "mailto:" links? In a BETA browser? Can't you just right-click, "copy link location", and paste the address into a new message? I guess that would require you to keep your webmail open most of the day like I do. Boo-hoo.
Really, crying because a relatively new webmail service doesn't work 100% with an unreleased (not even RC) browser... I know this is a staff journal, but stiil. Ridiculous.
Edit: Oh, and if FF2 is too bulky, and IE7 too "Microsoft"... use Opera, eh?
@ MathRockBrock:
Of course I could. Wouldn't it be easier not to do that, though? I'm not whining about anything; the mailto: thing is one tangible FF3 improvement for me, and I'm glad to see Yahoo being so open with the Firefox community about its plans and internal bug fixing.
I have to take issue with this statement. The JOB of a tester is to find things like this and report it for a fix to be created, whether it's a fault with Firefox or another party's software.
If I'm testing software and I find a bug (as a professional programmer this happens as part of my job) I know I've just helped produce a better product.
It really isn't an easy thing to make thousands (if not millions) of lines of code work written by a large team work 100% guaranteed. It's made even more complicated when you add the varied levels of standards compliance web sites and applications are written to.
Bad taste? Maybe if it's a tasty steak and you're a vegetarian.
Finally, understand that this is what beta is for: finding those bugs and fixing them.
Kudos to the Firefox and Yahoo teams for tracking down the problem and fixing it while things are still in BETA and not after RELEASE!
Yahoo Mail is atrocious. Bloated, slow, clunky. It's appoximately half the reason I stopped using my Yahoo account entirely, the other half being "I like Gmail a lot more".
As for Firefox being a memory hog...tell it to stop keeping 15 million recent pages in memory...set it to more like 8 or so. Cuts way down on memory hoggishness.
I also must take issue with that statement. Do all the testers REALLY share a single mouth? It seems unlikely.
"magnusalpha1280: "As for Firefox being a memory hog...tell it to stop keeping 15 million recent pages in memory...set it to more like 8 or so. Cuts way down on memory hoggishness."
8 is default (if you have 1GB or more RAM), and that means using 30-40MB with an average webpage - wouldn't you rather use 40MB of your 1GB than slow the browser down? How to change it
Nate: it's a beta. File a bug and move on.
The "bad taste" in testers' mouths is only there if their expectations are much higher than they should be. If they've done this kind of thing before -- especially with Mozilla projects -- they'll know it's part for the course. Hell, I'm just glad that FF3b3 can run on my Macbook without crashing constantly, as b1 and b2 did.
Even if the testers *do* get themselves worked up over it, their influence on the general browsing public is effectively nil. It won't matter unless these bugs slip into an official release.
I am loving this new beta. It's insanely fast, responsive, no JS hangs, smooth JS animations using a framework of your choice, less mem leaks, etc... As you can tell, this developer is pretty happy with it so far.
Eh, fair enough. I just think it would seem more noteworthy if you had more than one example.

Seattle Pacific Foundation
The Seattle Pacific Foundation, established in March 1979, was immediately charged with the goal of "Endowing the Future of Seattle Pacific University." Through the vision and foresight of alumni, the Board of Trustees and the University administration, it was realized that increasing costs would place difficult financial burdens on both students and programs if solutions were not found. By implementing this focus on endowment growth, not only has progress been made for the future, but also thousands of students have already benefited from scholarships funded by endowments.
Through the ongoing gifts of alumni and friends and the prudent investment management of the Foundation's staff and volunteer board, progress is being made in meeting financial aid needs. During this current academic year, SPU students will benefit from more than $1,054,000 in scholarships directly funded by over 203 separate endowment funds. While a significant contribution, it is still far short of what is really needed.
Set up as a separate nonprofit with its own board of directors and investment committee, the Foundation provides professional management for the University's endowment. An endowment is a fund set aside and invested for the purpose of earning income that can then be used to provide scholarships or support for academic programs. The principal amount of each endowment is kept intact so it can continue to earn income in perpetuity. Enlarging the endowment base makes it possible to increase financial aid assistance and in turn to help more students who want to attend SPU.
Check out The Wellspring Society, a membership group that honors those special individuals who are partners with us in planning for the future by designating Seattle Pacific as a recipient of deferred gifts through their financial or estate plans. Want more information on deferred giving or estate planning? Take some time to visit our Gift Planning site and read through a variety of flexible options.
Download our most recent Significance Newsletter (Autumn 2011) and read about the positive impact gift planning is having on Seattle Pacific students, programs and donors. Feel free to also download and read our past Signifiance Newsletters: Autumn 2008, Winter 2008, Autumn 2009, Winter 2009, Spring 2010, Winter 2010, Winter 2011, and Spring 2012. Each Significance Newsletter is available in PDF format.
Yasuko Hino Grate Endowment
Seattle Pacific University is pleased to announce the establishment of the Yasuko Hino Grate Endowment. SPU Senior Gift Officer, Kristi Nelson, worked with Yasuko Hino Grate to establish this endowment. Yasuko Grate came to SPU as an international student from Japan and graduated with a degree in Computer Science in 1990. Now retired from a successful career at Microsoft, Yasuko greatly appreciates the help provided to her by SPU professors as she learned English and Computer Science Languages. As a long-time supporter of SPU, Yasuko established this endowment to provide scholarships to international students on an F-1 student visa who maintain a 3.0 GPA.
Little Family Scholarship Endowment
Seattle Pacific University is pleased to announce the establishment of the Little Family Scholarship Endowment. SPU's Major Gift Officer, Kristi Nelson, worked with Myrna Little to establish this endowment to honor Harry Little. A beloved husband and father, Harry fought cancer for seven years. During that time, the Little family grew to appreciate assistance provided to help them to cope with a family member battling a terminal illness. As a result of the help they received and the family's strong ties to SPU, Myrna Little wishes to honor her husband by establishing this endowment to provide scholarships to graduate students in the Medical Family Therapy program.
Don Yanik Design and Technical Theatre Scholarship Endowment
Seattle Pacific University is pleased to announce the establishment of the Don Yanik Design and Technical Theatre Scholarship Endowment. Director of Alumni and Parent Relations, Ken Cornell worked with Theatre Department Chair Don Yanik to establish this endowment. Don joined the Seattle Pacific University Theatre faculty in 1985. As a professor of theatre, he teaches courses in scene design and technical drawing, costume and period styles, scene painting, stage makeup, and theatre experience. Don has set design credits for more than 285 productions and 100 costume plot design credits, including eight world premiers, two U.S. premiers and several Northwest premiers. Don Yanik has also designed productions for the C.S. Lewis Summer Institute in Cambridge, England. He is the restoration designer for the home of C.S. Lewis in Oxford, England, and serves as a board member of the Kilns Project. This endowment will provide scholarships with preference to, but not necessarily limited to, students studying as theatre majors with a technical and design emphasis as determined by theatre faculty in conjunction with the office responsible for financial aid administration.

Electric motorcycle racing comes to Portland in June
By Christina Williams
Sustainable Business Oregon editor
Portland International Raceway is the home track for Portland-based MotoCyzysz's Segway racing team.
The TTXGP eGrandPrix race organization announced its 2012 race calendar and will come to Portland International Raceway in June for the second race of the North American series.
The eGrandPrix, the only carbon-free race for motorcycle speed enthusiasts, first planned to come to Portland last summer, an announcement cheered by Oregon's electric vehicle cluster. TTXGP ultimately cancelled plans for a Portland race last year but has committed to the June 23-24 dates for 2012.
Portland International Raceway is billed as the home track for the MotoCzysz-Segway racing team and it's also the home state for Brammo Inc. of Ashland, which also boasts a robust racing program. Last year MotoCzysz and Brammo split top honors for the eGrandPrix series.
The 2012 schedule also includes a first-ever world final at the Daytona International Raceway in Florida. That race will pit top winners from the race's European, Australian and North American series and will take place in October.

It was said to have been founded by Midas, was a chief place of the Gallic conquerors of Asia Minor (c. 277 B.C.), and in imperial times a centre of great commercial importance. It is also famous for the official record of the Acts of Augustus, known as the "Monumentum Ancyranum," an inscription cut in marble on the walls of an ancient temple, several times copied and edited since the sixteenth century. The ruins of Ancyra furnish today valuable bas-reliefs. inscriptions, and other architectural fragments. Its episcopal list is given in Gams, "Series episc.

Quotes from How to Win Friends & Influence People (Revised Edition) by Dale Carnegie:
Chapter: What Everybody Wants.
Principle: Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.
"Wouldn't you like to have a magic phrase that would stop arguments, eliminate ill feeling, create good will, and make the other person listen attentively? Yes? All right. Here it is: 'I don't blame you one iota for feeling as you do. If I were you I would undoubtedly feel just as you do.' An answer like that will soften the most cantankerous old cuss alive. And you can say that and be 100 percent sincere, because if you were the other person you, of course, would feel just as he does." (pg. 176)
"Three-fourths of the people you will ever meet are hungering and thirsting for sympathy. Give it to them, and they will love you." (pg. 177)
Principle: Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.

Getting started
Major brands are pushing stackable and cordless wet/dry vacuums and other new designs as they try to get wet/dry vacuums out of the basement and into the kitchen and living room. But cleaning ability should be your primary concern. The largest models generally delivered the quickest, most thorough cleaning and the most capacity, and they tended to be the best equipped. But you may need a smaller, lighter vacuum--perhaps even a mini-sized model--if your home is shy on storage space or has more than one level. We checked how well the vacuums picked up dust that simulates wood flour, and how much of that dust they leaked into the air. Screws, wood pieces, and other heavier debris were a more demanding test of suction, and a one-gallon spill tested wet-cleaning ability. Finally, we judged ease of use of each vacuum's features and accessories.
Don't buy capacity claims
Most of the manufacturers overstated the fluid capacity of the vacuums we tested, some by as much as eight gallons. While those claims may correlate with the size of the vacuum's collection area, our measurements are based on actual vacuuming until each vacuum's internal float rose high enough to block further suction.
Do use hearing protectors
All of the wet/dry vacuums we tested were loud. Some reach 85 decibels, the level at which we recommend wearing earplugs to prevent hearing damage.

|Assistant Coach
|(916) 278-5276
|UC Davis, '73
Assistant coach Bill Baxter enters
his third year with the Hornets for the 2013-14 season.
A defensive-minded coach, Baxter's primary responsibilities include on-floor coaching and defensive strategies. He also serves as the summer team camp coordinator, assists in local recruiting, opponent scouting and post play development.
The Hornets defensive improvement has been dramatic. Under Baxter's guidance Sacramento State's points-per-game allowed dropped by 7.7 points his first season and another 7.7 points in 2012-13, combining for a 15.4 points allowed per game decrease in just two years.
Before joining the Hornets, Baxter developed a strong winning reputation in the Sacramento region as head coach at El Camino High School. Baxter, who tallied a Sac-Joaquin Section record 601 career wins, coached the Eagles for 24 years and took his team to the playoffs each season.
His teams at El Camino won 14 league titles, five Sac-Joaquin Section championships and made 10 section title game appearances. He took his teams to five NorCal championship games, winning three titles, while his 1993-94 squad went a perfect 36-0 en route to a CIF state championship. In his last season (2010-11), Baxter coached El Camino to the semifinals of the section playoffs and advanced to the second round of the CIF playoffs.
In addition to coaching women's basketball for the Eagles, Baxter was the water polo and swimming coach from 1974-87, where he won a combined 31 league titles with the men's and women's teams in the two sports. He started teaching at El Camino in 1974 and ascended to the school's athletics director position in 1994.
Baxter is a 1973 graduate of UC Davis. He coached the freshman men's basketball team at his alma mater from 1972-74 and was also an assistant coach for the Cosumnes River College men's basketball team from 1974-76.
Baxter and his wife Michelle, a teacher at Oakmont High School, have two children – daughter Cassie and son Kyle. Cassie is an assistant women's volleyball coach at Sierra College while Kyle played basketball at Humboldt State.

The Gamecocks claimed their first win of the season, snapping the second-longest active losing streak in Division I women's basketball in the process, with a satisfying 60-57 victory over Southeast Missouri at Pete Mathews Coliseum.
"It's pretty exciting in there," senior Danielle Vaughn said of the postgame celebration.
"It was a great atmosphere to see all our teammates happy," sophomore post Miranda Cantrell added.
The Gamecocks (1-26, 1-14 OVC) were facing the possibility of becoming JSU's first winless team since the school started keeping records on a regular basis in 1948. If it didn't happen Saturday, they had only one game left.
Instead, they ended a season of futility and left Weber State (0-25) of the Big Sky Conference as the last winless team in Division I women's basketball this season. In addition, they eliminated the Redhawks (10-17, 4-10) from OVC Tournament consideration.
The Gamecocks had lost 36 games in a row since beating Austin Peay on a 3-pointer at the buzzer on Jan. 14, 2012, some of them close, some by wide margins. Although they had been in several games along the way, they seemingly never could find a way to finish. They had lost 20 in a row at home and 24 straight in the Ohio Valley Conference.
Now the streak is 1.
"You know, right now my belly's going, 'Yes, yes, yes,'" JSU coach Annette Watts said. "But more so for my two seniors (Vaughn and Amanda McCarthy). I was afraid they were going to forget how it felt. I was afraid I was going to forget how it felt — and it feels so good, especially when your kids play well against a team who plays really hard."
Unlike the win at Peay, this one didn't come on some answered prayer. The Gamecocks had control of this game most of the night and held together through SEMO's late pressure to rally.
The Gamecocks scored 20 points off the 15 turnovers created by their last two days of constant defensive focus, and they outscored the smaller Redhawks 26-14 in the paint. They trailed only once — 2-0 — led by nine at halftime and by as many as 12 in the second half.
"We did things tonight we taught and taught and taught," Watts said, "and tonight might have been the first night we've done them for 40 minutes. We scrapped and we fought and we made incredibly good decisions. I'm so proud of them."
SEMO turned up its defensive pressure with about 12 minutes left and battled back to tie the game at 57 on Allyson Bradshaw's 3-pointer with 35.6 seconds to play.
It was just about that point a JSU student supporter began encouraging the crowd behind the press table and the pep band to rush the floor when the Gamecocks pulled it out. The Gamecocks pulled it out, but there was no mad dash when it was over.
The players gathered at midcourt, then made their way to the dressing room where cupcakes and good times awaited.
"To finally get a win, it's exciting," Cantrell said. "It feels like this season wasn't a waste. We were going to get it. We just had to keep pushing and it would come."
The Gamecocks locked it up with three single free throws in the final 20 seconds — Candace Morton at 17.7, Cantrell at 14.2 and freshman Destany McLin's clincher at 1.7.
Cantrell and McLin led the Gamecocks in scoring with 15 points each; for McLin, it was a career high. Vaughn had a double-double in her 100th career game and final one at home in a JSU uniform (10 points, 11 rebounds).
SEMO's Connor King rebounded Morton's missed free throw with 17.7 left but fell out of bounds with it, allowing the Gamecocks to maintain possession. Cantrell was fouled shortly after taking Morton's inbounds pass and made the second of her two shots.
The Redhawks still had a chance to break JSU's heart or at least send the game into overtime. They brought the ball into the frontcourt and got the ball in Bradshaw's hands, but with the clock winding down, Dashauna Truss cut off the SEMO guard's drive in the lane. McLin came up with the loose ball and was fouled.
"It was just help defense," Truss said. "I had Candace's back on that play. She was trailing No. 11 the whole time. We tried not to get 11 (free) because she kept hitting 3s. We did what we had to do to have our teammates' back on that possession. I wanted to get that win real bad. I've never been on a team with a zero record."
And she still hasn't.

A Japanese company invented an "Anti-Loneliness Ramen Bowl" that includes an iPod dock to make Internet browsing while eating even easier, for better or for worse.
Me, myself, and I can sometimes be the perfect company when we're feeling overwhelmed or just want to get stuff done. But sometimes that privacy can turn into loneliness, stress, and depression.
Hey, how are you? Wait, hold that thought— I've got a text coming in. According to a new study, cell phones might make us act more selfishly.
Even with dietary restrictions, socializing with friends can be easy and fun. Here are some key tips from gluten-free blogger Erin Smith.

Muggle: 1. (noun) a non-geocacher in the vicinity of a geocache. 2. (verb) to vandalize a geocache.
The term often is used to describe impacts on a cache hunt. "I couldn't look for the cache because there were too many muggles nearby."
The term muggle has been around for decades and means many things in different environments; in the early part of the last century, among musicians, muggle was a reference to drugs (specifically marijuana) and drug users.
More recently, the term has enjoyed renewed popularity, mainly due to its use in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling, where it refers to non-magical people.
Muggles are generally harmless. However, care should be taken to avoid revealing the location of a cache in their presence. Sometimes caches are muggled (vandalized by non-geocachers).
Some geocachers do not like to use the word muggle (see surrep), but it is rapidly becoming the norm when refering to those not informed about our hobby.
The term muggle has sometimes been applied to some geocachers themselves. Because there are multiple geocache listing sites, geocachers who hunt caches listed on only one site may not be aware of the existence of caches listed on other sites. Someone in a park, unaware of the existence of a nearby cache, is considered by some to be a muggle, even if they are avid geocachers otherwise.
Some other synonyms for muggles are:
- geomuggle (actually, this is the original word that geocachers used to describe a non-geocacher)
- surrep
Related words include:
- cache pirate - someone who actively works to plunder caches
