USA Rolls Past South Korea, 5-0, to Open NIKE U.S. Women's Cup '99; Sell-Out Watches Fotopoulos Score 99th and 100th U.S. Goals of 1999
COLUMBUS, Ohio (Sunday, October 3, 1999) - The U.S. Women's National Team opened the NIKE U.S. Women's Cup '99 with a convincing 5-0 victory over South Korea and in the process set the record for most wins in a calendar year. The Americans moved to 23-2-2 in 1999, playing in front of the second-l
Oct. 3, 1999
The 23,101 appreciative fans that packed the beautiful soccer-only stadium were also witness to another milestone as two late goals from forward Danielle Fotopoulos helped the Americans reach 100 goals on the year.
This marks just the second time in its 14-year history that the U.S. women have scored 100 or more goals in a year. With her goal in the 39th minute, forward Tiffeny Milbrett became only the third player in U.S. soccer history to score 20 goals in a single year, joining Mia Hamm who scored 20 in 1998 and Michelle Akers who scored 39 in 1991.
"Danielle did what she does best, and that's putting the ball in the net," said U.S. Head Coach Tony DiCicco, who registered his 101st career win.
"She also did some other things well, and Sara Whalen and Christie Pearce had solid games in the back. It shows our depth and our development as a team."
It didn't take long for the USA to stretch Korea's net, scoring in just the 10th minute through a powerful header from Cindy Parlow off a corner kick from Shannon MacMillan. But the skillful Koreans proved organized and condensed in the defense, and despite a 35-2 shot advantage, the Americans struggled in their finishing.
Hamm put the USA up 2-0 in the 36th minute after Milbrett sprung Shannon MacMillan in the right side of the penalty box with a short pass. MacMillan slid her pass across the face of the goal and Cindy Parlow let it run through her legs to an unmarked Hamm at the far post, who touched the ball into the net for her world record 112th international goal.
Just four minutes later, Milbrett accomplished her milestone, but by no means was it the prettiest of her 20. Carla Overbeck's cross from the right side was punched straight up into the air by Korean goalkeeper Ho Jung Jung. Julie Foudy won the ball with her head as it descended, flicking the ball to Milbrett, who ran through the ball as it hit her shoulder and bounced into the open net from five yards out.
"The fans really love this team and there couldn't be a better group to fall in love with," said DiCicco after the USA's now-typical post-game, screaming pony-tailed autograph frenzy. "They are not only great players and winners, but great people as well. You couldn't pick better role models."
The USA had numerous chances to increase its lead in the final 45 minutes, including forcing Jung into four consecutive saves in the first 10 minutes of the second half. The USA fired a shot every two minutes at the Korean goal in the second half, including blasts by Milbrett and Venturini that hit the crossbar, but it was Fotopoulos who put the finishing touches on the game. She volleyed in Venturini's cross from the right side in the 82nd minute and then brought the crowd to its feet in the waning seconds. Milbrett ran onto a pass down the left wing on a counter-attack and as the last defender moved over to cut her off, she whipped a pass into the middle for Fotopoulos, who settled the ball and blasted her 11th career goal into the left side of the net.
In the 79th minute, Venturini scored on spectacular flick header from a sharp angle, but the goal was called back when the referee's assistant ruled that the ball had rolled over the end line before Tiffany Roberts' cross.
"We didn't know much about South Korea coming into the match, but we knew we wanted to come out and assert our game on them," said Milbrett, who now has 67 career international goals. "We just like to go out on the field and give the fans something to cheer about. I think we did that today."
Tracy Ducar played the entire match in goal for the USA as DiCicco used his entire bench, giving Foudy, Hamm and Parlow just 45 minutes.
"We need to evaluate all our personnel as we look towards the Olympics," said DiCicco. "We know we must be better in 2000 to win the gold again and we've got to identify everyone that can help us achieve our goals."
In the first match of the tournament, Brazil used two goals from star forward Roseli to defeat Finland, 3-1. Brazil broke open a scoreless game with two goals in the final three minutes of the first half, one each from the striking tandem of Maicon and Roseli. Star midfielder Sissi did not start, but entered the game in the 64th minute, giving her plenty of time to set up Roseli for the clinching goal in the 78th minute. The goals were Roseli's first since last year's NIKE U.S. Women's Cup, at which she suffered a knee injury against the USA in the championship game that knocked her out of the 1999 Women's World Cup.
The NIKE U.S. Women's Cup continues as the USA travels to Kansas City tomorrow in preparation to face Finland on Thurs., Oct. 7 (7:30 p.m. CT) in what not only will be the largest crowd for a weekday game in U.S. Soccer history, but also the largest soccer crowd in Kansas City history. Brazil faces South Korea in the first match at 5 p.m. The USA will finish the tourney against Brazil on Sunday, October 10, at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in a match that will be televised live on espn2 at 1:00 p.m. ET and will likely decide the tournament champion.

Delta and Glenwood Springs played some good baseball last Saturday (April 7) in Delta. The Panthers squeaked past Glenwood 7-6 in game one of a doubleheader but lost a 12-6 decision to the Demons in game two.
Game 1
Delta 7, Steamboat 6
Steamboat Springs let the Panthers know right away they were in for some challenges on the diamond in game one of a doubleheader between the two teams. The Demons jumped on starting pitcher Tyler Sandoval for three runs in the first inning and held the lead for four innings until the Panthers tied it with two runs in the bottom of the fourth.
Delta put together a four-hit fifth inning that produced three runs and a 7-4 lead going to the sixth.
Steamboat Springs had three hits, two of them doubles, in the sixth and scored two runs to make the final score 7-6 in favor of Delta.
The Panthers scored their seven runs on 10 hits with help from three Demons' errors. Jordan Sandoval, Austin Hines and Chad Fedler shared hitting honors with two safeties each.
Glenwood had nine hits and six runs on one Delta error. Two players had a pair of hits for the Demons.
Game 2
Steamboat 12, Delta 6
The Demons started off with a single run in the bottom of the first inning and Delta matched that in the top of the second.
Steamboat, with help from a wild pitch, notched their second run in the bottom of the second to go ahead.
The Panthers punched four runs across the plate on three hits and three walks in the third inning and the Demons scored one of their own to make it 5-3 heading to the fourth inning.
Delta was shut down in their half of the fourth and saw their small lead disappear when the Demons scored three times to take a 6-5 lead.
Jordan Sandoval gave the Panthers their first baserunner in the fifth after drawing a walk. Sandoval scored on a wild pitch to tie the game at 6-6.
A scoreless bottom of the fifth kept the game tied at 6-6 as the two teams prepared for the sixth inning.
The Panthers were unable to mount a threat in the sixth, but not so for the Demons. The first six hitters reached base with five of them touching home plate. With two outs, a walk issued to the number nine batter resulted in the game's final run before a strikeout ended the game.
Tyler Sandoval had a hot bat for the Panthers and hit safely in three plate appearances. Chris Lopez had two singles while Jordan Sandoval and Keaton Reiher had singles.
The Demons had two players with three hits and three batters with two hits each.
Delta is holding at the number three spot in league standings with a 7-5 record overall and 4-3 in 4A WSL play.
Eagle Valley is listed at the top with a 6-2 record and Palisade is second with the same mark.
Delta played in Durango on April 10 (results of that meeting will be in next week's paper). That single game is set for a 1 p.m. start.
The Panthers are host to Moffat County for doubleheader action this Saturday (April 14) with the first game scheduled for 11 a.m. on the Delta Middle School field.

Inherent to consumerism is the assumption that more choice is better.
Indeed, psychologists have long contended that the provision of choice can increase the individual's sense of personal control and feelings of intrinsic motivation (Rotter, 1966; deCharms, 1968).
Whilst that might be true, the problem is that it doesn't necessarily follow that presenting an abundance of options results in an increase in sales.
In this post I'll explain why you should test presenting less choice in order to boost your conversion rate.

Automatic carousels have come under increasing fire this year from this blog, and UX experts like Jacob Nielsen and conversion pros like Peep Laja.
The conclusion, which all three of us share, is that unadulterated carousels are bad for business!

Every digital marketer knows that failure to motivate people to take action hurts your conversion rate and costs you money.
What you may not know is that influencing motivation involves more than just a good product description or use of techniques like social proof.
Reading this post will give you a new perspective on how to influence motivation throughout your conversion funnel. You will also discover some new ideas which you can test on your own website to boost conversions.

Social proof is perhaps the most well known of Robert Cialdini's six keys to persuasion explained in his 2009 book titled "Influence".
In this article I will describe why social proof works in the online context and how you can use it to increase conversions.

June 2005 -- How long will lamb prices stay high?
Between 2003 and 2004, gross income (cash receipts) from sheep and lamb production increased 3 percent (CattleNetwork.com, 4/29/05). Receipts were up, while the volume marketed decreased 6 percent to 572 million lbs.
During good times, it is easy to become complacent. Even if gross income is rising, it says nothing of a producer?s return. Costs could be rising as well and, if so, profits may be constant or even falling. If feeder- and slaughter-lamb prices begin to soften, then costs of production will become increasingly important in defining profits.
A 1999 ewe and lamb budget with early lambing revealed that total returns, including total costs (e.g., labor, management, equipment ? costs incurred regardless of number of sheep), were all negative when slaughter-lamb prices ranged from $60/cwt. to $80/cwt. (ohioline.osu.edu). If only variable costs were counted (e.g., feed, shearing, medicine ? costs that vary with the number of sheep and lamb), returns were positive.
However, if the slaughter-lamb price would have fallen by $10/cwt. and only the variable costs were counted, then total take-home profits would have fallen 27 percent (holding all other costs fixed). If slaughter-lamb prices would have fallen an additional $10/cwt., profits would have also fallen an additional 37 percent.
Can costs adjust to keep profits stable? It is possible, but probably not as easy as receiving higher sale prices for lambs.
Key costs involved in sheep production include feed, labor and costs associated with predator control. Feed costs can account for up to 75 percent of total variable costs and 36 percent of total costs, including fixed costs.
According to Meat and Livestock Australia (2/2005), the key to profitable lamb production is to reduce the cost of production by increasing production.
One of the co-authors reported, ?By focusing on more production pastures, improving utilization of pastures, choosing the right genetics and meeting target market specifications more often, producers would be able to develop resilience to any market changes.?
Some, in the industry, feel the key to increasing profitability is to only increase lambing percentages.
Live slaughter-lamb market prices are high now, but at some point, prices may fall. As the supply of lamb increases in the United States from both domestic production and imports, prices may soften. However, an increase in demand can offset production increases, which means, prices won?t decline as much as supply increases. Even if sale prices soften for lamb, the quantity of lamb sold by any one producer may increase if he or she is restocking, thus total returns may remain constant.
Lamb Prices
Between March and April, the San Angelo feeder-lamb price rose about 3 percent, up to $137.35/cwt. The Fort Collins average price dropped about 2 percent to $130.50/cwt. Feeder-lamb prices in April were about 14-percent higher year-to-year and are likely to remain strong through the summer.
A lower corn price may continue to reduce feeding risk. The 2004/2005 forecasted corn price was revised upward to $1.95/bu. to $2.15/bu. (USDA). The ending stock of corn is likely to increase this year, putting a downward pressure on price. However, the price forecast was revised because farmers used forward contracts to lock in a higher price. The price of corn is still relatively low: $1.97/bu. in 2001/2002, $2.32/bu. in 2002/2003, $2.42/bu. in 2003/2004 and $1.95/bu. to $2.15/bu. in 2004/2005.
In April, the live San Angelo slaughter-lamb price fell only 0.77 percent to $100.10/cwt. This is 9-percent lower than the annual high in February of $109.69/cwt. The San Angelo live slaughter-lamb price in April was 8-percent higher than the average $92.90/cwt., which was seen last April. Slaughter-lamb prices may strengthen somewhat in May and June, before weakening in July and August.
Lamb and mutton production increased from 16.4 million lbs. to 16.8 million lbs. between March and April (primarily because April had five weeks compared to the four in March). Live weights fell marginally from 142.8 lbs. to 142.6 lbs.
Domestic-wholesale values continued to strengthen year-to-year, but softened between March and April. The gross-carcass value dropped nearly 4 percent in April to $259.93/cwt., up 14 percent year-to-year from $227.75/cwt. All major cuts, except loins, rose in price year-to-year. In April, leg (trotter off) prices fell 9 percent to $295.15/cwt., up 9 percent year-to-year from $271.39/cwt. The medium, eight-rib rack price was $635.49/cwt. in April, down 1 percent from March, up 14 percent from last April?s average of $437.07/cwt. The square-cut shoulder price rose 1 percent in April to $174.01/cwt., up 14 percent year-to-year. The trimmed, 4x4-loin price averaged 3-percent less in April at $371.06/cwt., 5-percent lower year-to-year. According to one wholesaler, the loins are the only cut with room to increase, without hurting sales.
International Market
There was a surprise slowdown in imports in January and February 2005. The weak U.S. dollar may have caught up with importers. In addition, alternative export markets for Australian and New Zealand lamb may have become relatively more attractive. For example, Australian lamb is being exported to the Middle East, Africa and Japan. In addition, the domestic Australian market is also a relatively high-demand market, where lamb prices are currently high.
In general, the relationship between the level of imports and the U.S. dollar has been positive since 2000 (a negative relationship was expected). A simple correlation reveals 0.23 between the U.S./Australian exchange rate and Australian imports, and 0.4 between the U.S./New Zealand exchange rate and New Zealand imports (with perfect correlation equal to one). This may be a testament to the strength of the consumer market for lamb in the United States. Over shorter periods of time, however, the exchange rate has affected import levels.
January and February lamb and mutton imports were 15.7 million lbs., down year-to-year from 26.3 million lbs. Australian imports were down 28 percent: 13.2 million lbs. in January and February 2004, down to 9.4 million lbs. over the same period in 2005. New Zealand imports were down 51 percent: 13.1 million lbs. in January and February 2004 and 6.3 million lbs. in January and February 2005.
Although imports were down in the first quarter of 2005, it is likely they will increase for the remainder of the year. Australian exports are likely to increase 15 percent in 2005 and by 2010, increase by 50 percent (Meat & Livestock Australia, 2/2005).
The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) recently reported that global lamb and mutton trade are expected to reach 750,000 metric tons, up 4 percent this year. Strong demand in North America and Asia will equal increased supplies in Australia and New Zealand (as a result of higher lamb numbers and increased carcass weights). However, imports into the United States may be limited by a weaker U.S. dollar and a slight recovery in flock numbers (meatnews.com, 4/15/04).
Retail Prices
In January and February, the average feature-weighted retail price was $5.39/lb., up year-to-year from $4.95/lb. The domestic price was $5.04/lb. in December, $5.28/lb. in January and $5.50/lb. in February. A relatively early Easter this year, compared to 2004, may have pushed prices up sooner in the year. Lower imports may have also put pressure on prices.
Domestic-lamb prices strengthened: $5.29/lb. in January and February 2005, up year-to-year from $5.05/lb. The domestic retail-lamb price was $5.07/lb. in December, $5.24/lb. in January and $5.35/lb. in February. Recall that domestic prices may also include imported product that are not labeled.
The imported retail-lamb price strengthened: $5.59/lb. in January and February 2005, up year-to-year from $5.02/lb. The imported price was $4.97/lb. in December, $5.37/lb. in January and $5.81/lb. in February.
Since mid-January, prices for wholesale imported-lamb cuts have been available. It is calculated that import prices are roughly 74 percent of comparable domestic cuts (ASI). Import prices range from 57 percent (fore shank) to 88 percent (loins) of U.S. prices. Imported racks, loins, legs and shoulders go into the U.S. retail, foodservice and even pet food markets.
Wool Market in Limbo
The wool market was slow in April and characterized by a ?wait and see? position prior to the sale in Roswell in early May (USDA/AMS). Demand for U.S. wool was moderate in April, particularly from overseas. Unfortunately, the weak dollar has yet to show a significant benefit in actual purchases from international buyers. Year-to-year demand for wool apparel in China and the United States was strong, but lagging in the important markets of Japan and Germany (Woolmark, 4/15/05).
In the last 10 years, the wool market has been characterized by extreme price volatility. In 1995, international prices were relatively high, than fell by approximately 60 percent in early 2001, rose by about 55 percent in early 2003, but then began to trend downward. In the two years between March 2003 and March 2005, 19-micron Australian wool lost 25 percent of its value, 22 micron lost 42 percent, 26 micron lost 45 percent and 28 micron lost 29 percent (computed from Woolmark, 4/29/05).
The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics reported in March that the likely continued low returns from wool are expected to drive the Australian sheep industry toward greater emphasis on meat production.
The United States is far ahead of Australia in gearing its flock toward meat production. However, wool production still warrants attention.
Mike Corn, at Roswell Wool in New Mexico, stated that if you are producing sheep, produce as good of wool as you can, because you incur the same expense. He added that there is still good demand for 22-micron to 23-micron wool, as long as the staple length is there (4/28/05).
In April, 29-micron wool gained 17 percent to $1.17/lb., while the 30 to 34 micron lost 3 percent to $1.01/lb. in the Fleece States. In general, the finer wool in the Territory States lost ground in April compared to the less fine microns. For example, the 22 micron and 23 micron both lost about 6 percent to land at $1.87/lb. and $1.72/lb., respectively. Wool prices in Texas and New Mexico held relatively firm between March and April. In April, the 19-micron price averaged $2.50/lb., 20 micron averaged $2.36/lb. and 21 micron averaged $2.33/lb.

Since the sea-run cutthroat fishing is starting to slow down, I decided to go fishing yesterday for resident coho during a nice ebb tide. For the first 2 1/2 hours the fishing was a bust as I saw only two jumpers. However, I was encouraged to see bonaparte and common sea gulls sitting on the water surface feeding on amphipods. I stopped my boat and could see some reddish/brown amphipods(1/16 to 1/8 inch) slowly spinning just below the water surface. With a food supply of amphipods available there had to be some resident coho somewhere. So I went to a location where amphipods normally get pushed to on ebb tides. Upon arriving at the location a few jumping resident coho were seen with more showing themselves the last 1 hour of the ebb tide. The fish were moving back and forth along the shoreline in 18 to 20 ft. of water along a noticeable bottom break from shallow to deeper water. It was a cat and mouse game to get within casting distance of them which is always fun and challenging. The best strategy was anchor the boat and wait for the resident coho as they moved up and down the shoreline. If the fish would stay put out of casting range for 5 minutes or so, I would move to that area and reanchor. I didn't have any success drifting and casting in towards the shoreline. I prefer to anchor the boat since it is possible to keep a tighter line and better hook set. About 1/2 hour before the low slack tide the schools of resident coho had moved about 1/2 miles down the beach as the amphipods got pushed by the tidal current. The resident coho were again active in water 18 to 20 feet deep and up to 200 feet from the shoreline. The fishing was excellent through the first 3/4 hour after the start of the flood tide. The fish at the first location were 11 to 12 inches and 14 to 15 inches at the second location with many more fish landed there than the first location. Photos below show two fish(14 to 15 inches) which were kept for the dinner table and amphipods which were stuffed into their stomachs by the thousands. The pattern of choice was an olive/white tube clouser minnow. I should have tried Jeff's conehead squid pattern as it probably would have worked. Roger
Roger, Dehlia's Grey Ghost that Steve tied at PS Fly last spring has also been a great producer the past few weeks. It's taken blackmouth, coho and cutthroat. Earlier today I thanked Steve for partaking in that demo and I thank you as well. Great stuff!
Great report, I enjoyed the detailed info. It's always a bonus to know exactly what they're munching on, one of the advantages of a boat. We had good success a week ago from the beach with about the same size as you ran into, I think our biggest was around 14", if I didn't still have some in the freezer I might of kept a couple myself. Yum!!!
Why not try an amphipod pattern with a bead head, or something like a crazy charlie if theyre feeding on amphipods?
I've succesfully used "Gotcha" patterns, as well as other bonefish flies on resident coho and a blackmouth or two over the years.
Roger, thanks for another great informative report. Mike Tinder mentioned Delia's Ghost pattern that as Roger says, "It's whats for dinner." I am attaching the handout from my Puget Sound Fly Company demo if anyone is interested in tying Jeff's pattern.
Roger, Here's one of my more effective (and simple) amphipod patterns. Just a bit of dubbing with about 8 strands of orange Krystalflash over the back. Size 16-18 short shank hook.
I forgot to bring my amphipod pattern fly box so could not fish what the resident coho were feeding on. It didn't matter since the fish were so aggressive. Many years ago I tied an effective of amphipod pattern which is very similar to Preston' s pattern. Both patterns are in Les Johnson's book " Fly-Fishing for Pacific Salmon ll" on page 135 which has photos, materials lists, and how to fish the patterns. Roger
I thought that you might like the title which is different from the same old boring titles in past threads. Roger
Roger, I look forward to your threads. Always fun to read, and always infused with a good amount of educating for the rest of us. Nice work, and thanks for sharing your trip. Jason
Nothing like searching for your quarry and matching the hatch. An excellent post as usual Roger and thank you for sharing it with us.

When Texas State released its 2013 non-conference schedule, it was met with a resounding thud.
Non-conference opponents in 2012, the Bobcats' first year as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision, included the University of Houston, Navy, Nevada, New Mexico, Stephen F. Austin (a team from the Football Championship Subdivision) and Texas Tech. Houston and Nevada both went to bowl games in 2011, while Navy and Texas Tech fell one game short.
Fast forward one year and just one of Texas State's non-conference opponents went to a bowl the previous season (Texas Tech). An eight-win season by the Red Raiders accounted for half of the combined victories by the Bobcats' current non-league foes (16-44).
