Augie Ties School Record with 12th Straight Win
Friday, April 26, 2013 12:57 AM EDT
Friday, April 26, 2013 12:57 AM EDT
By Erik Thorstenson -
Augustana tied a single season record with its 12th straight win after sweeping a doubleheader over Minot State University (10-18, 2-12 NSIC). The Vikings (28-15, 16-6 NSIC) won the opener 14-0 behind a complete game shutout by Kye Winter before the Vikings scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to come from behind to take game two 7-4.
Augustana's previous longest winning streak was 12 games during the 1989 season from March 23 to April 11.
Nate Hewes and Tony Viger had the hot bats for Augustana in the doubleheader. Hewes was 6-for-7 on the afternoon with two doubles and three RBI. Viger was 4-for-7 while driving in five runs, including an RBI single that tied the game in the bottom of the eighth inning, which started Augustana's comeback in game two.
Game one
The Vikings got out of the gates fast scoring 10 runs in the first two innings before going on to defeat the Beavers 14-0 in the opener.
Winter evened his season record to 2-2 with the complete game shutout. The senior struck out five batters while giving up just three hits in the contest.
Jake Petersen scored the game's first run after walking and stealing second base, scoring on an RBI single by Viger in the bottom of the first. Augustana plated two unearned runs after two Minot State errors to get out of the first inning with a 3-0 lead.
Augustana then exploded for seven runs on six hits in the bottom of the second to push its lead to 10-0. Viger delivered the first blow with a two-RBI single up the middle scoring Petersen and Zach Dibble who singled and walked to start the inning.
Hewes sent a double to left center later in the inning to plate another run before Brian Duxbury sent his second home run of the season over the right field fence, scoring Hewes.
Alex Fink started a four-run fourth inning with a solo home run to right field, his fourth long ball of the season. Zach Dibble later sent an RBI double to right center field to push Augustana's lead to 12-0 before the Vikings scored two unearned runs, making the score 14-0.
Game two
Augustana got another strong pitching performance from Jordan Milbrath in game two. Milbrath upped his recod to 8-0 on the season tossing 8.0 innings, giving up four runs on six hits while striking out seven batters.
Derek Quame earned his ninth save of the season, making his 19th appearance of the season. Quame is now just one save shy of tying the single season record set by Bret Severtson in 2011.
Hewes gave the Vikings an early lead in game two, sending a solo home run down the right field line with one out in the bottom of the first. Hewes has now hit three home runs on the season.
After going down without a hit in the second and third innings, Minot State was able to take a 3-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning. Mitch Olson led off the fourth with a double to right center and eventually game around to score on a groundout by Tyler Stevenson. The Beavers were able to push two more unearned runs across in the inning.
Hewes helped the Vikings get on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning after leading off the inning with a double to center field and scoring on an RBI single by Viger, making the score 3-2. Viger was later picked off of first base and Jack Goihl struck out to end the inning as the Vikings were not able to push any more runs across.
Minot State pushed its lead to 4-2 in the top of the fifth inning on an RBI single by Olson. The Vikings were able to make it a one run game again in the bottom of the seventh after a leadoff home run by Winter.
In the bottom of the eight, Viger brought in the tying run with a single to right field, scoring Hewes, who singled with one out and moved up to second base on a wild pitch.
Marcus O'Neill then pinch-hit for Brian Duxbury and sent the game-winning two-RBI single up the middle to make the score 7-4. Quame shut the door in the top of the ninth inning, setting the Beavers down in order.
Augustana returns to action this Saturday with a nine inning game against Dakota State beginning at 1 p.m. at Karras Park Home of Ronken Field.

ADA, OKLAHOMA -- In Ada, OKlahoma, a Bizarre Burglar ended up calling 911 on Himself
That burglar would be 22-year-old Michael Garvin, who broke into an eye-wear store in Ada.
Garvin tried on staff lab coats and other clothes he found in the store.
Police think Garvin got irritated he couldnt figure out how to get out of the store.
It appears Garvin kicked in the bottom glass of the front door, and at some point that glass
slid down.
Instead of opening the latch, he called 911 so police would let him out.
When police arrived, Garvin hid in the attic, but was eventually taken to jail.

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen has had a fine season, posting 25 saves in 29 opportunities with a 2.54 ERA and an outstanding 0.882 WHIP.
That season is going to be on hold "indefinitely", according to ESPN Los Angeles:
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly revealed Jansen's condition Wednesday, stating that the star reliever is experiencing issues related to an irregular heartbeat that sidelined him for a month last season.
Jansen was hospitalized Tuesday and has not given the Dodgers permission to discuss details of his condition. He was required to take blood thinners last season to treat the irregular heartbeat, forcing him to spend time on the disabled list.
The article mentions that the Dodgers could use the recently-acquired Brandon League at closer; League has closing experience, also noting that Ronald Belisario posted a five-out save against the Rockies Wednesday. Javy Guerra, who had eight saves earlier this year for the Dodgers, was recently optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque, but could be recalled after rosters expand September 1.

Fired Y-12 security guard speaks out on steroids, etc.
I filed a story for Sunday's News Sentinel/Knoxnews.com, based on interviews this past week with Russ Walker, one of the security guards at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant who was fired after testing positive for anabolic steroids.
This is an issue that could become a big deal across the nuclear weapons complex, especially if NNSA contractors start focusing drug tests on steroids. Those tests can reportedly be influenced by use of many over-the-counter supplements and performance-enhancers available to anybody over 18.
Walker claims he never took steroids, only legally purchased supplements. He said his positive drug test was apparently due to his use of a pro-hormone supplement called DecaVol.
His firing is of additional interest because he reportedly supplied performance-enhancing supplements to many security police officers in Oak Ridge via his business, Extreme Nutrition, which he started a few years ago.
Before opening his stores in Solway and South Knoxville (on Alcoa Highway), Walker said he operated the business out his house and would sometimes deliver the supplements to guards at Y-12.
Walker said he's never sold anabolic steroids or illegal or banned substances at his stores and has never taken substances deemed illegal, although he noted it's been an evolving situation in recent years. He said some of the supplements once stocked at the stores have been removed and returned to the distributor after being put on the not-to-be-sold list.
"If it's banned, we take it off the shelf," he said Saturday at his Solway store. "This comes from major distributors. This is not underground or some backdoor thing."
The International Guards Union of America, Local 3, is contesting the firings of Walker and another security police officer at Y-12. Two other guards resigned after reportedly testing positive for steroids.
Wackenhut spokeswoman Courtney Henry said Saturday the security contractor would not comment on Walker's allegations or his case because the guards union is pursuing arbitration on the matter.
Walker said he considered himself a model employee, hardly ever sick, never late, never on disability, passed all his fitness exams.
The situation has caused him incredible harm, he said, ruining his business and irreparably damaging his reputation.
"They've already drug my name through the mud. They've embarrassed my kids," he said.
He said rumors were spread that his stores were raided by the Drug Enforcement Agency and were being watched all the time.
Walker said he and other guards who were tested for steroids were interviewed at the site this spring by reps from DEA. He also said they talked with reps from the DOE Inspector General. But he said there's been nothing since then.
"This has devastated me," he said. "I love my job. I love what I do."
He said he has done nothing wrong and only took supplements to do his job better. Now he's training for another job, which will only pay about half the amount, and his plans to retire in 2010 have been completely scuttled.
"I was going to be able to retire at the first of the year. I was about ready to retire, and now I've lost all my savings. They've hurt my life," Walker said.
How widespread is the use of pro-hormones and other performance-enhancing supplements in Oak Ridge?
"If you tested ever guard out here right now, you better bring the National Guard (to replace them)," Walker said.
He said he believed 300 to 400 security guards in Oak Ridge were taking supplements of some sort to enhance their performance.
"If you're going to test me, test everybody," he said.
Walker spent five years in the Air Force as a security officer and has spent close to 20 years in the DOE complex, including stints at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Ohio, the Federal Office Building in Oak Ridge and Y-12 (since 2001).

DALLAS (AP) -- Dirk Nowitzki scored 22 points, O.J. Mayo had two big fourth-quarter baskets and a career-high 12 assists, and the Dallas Mavericks bounced back from a blowout loss in Houston with a 112-108 victory over the Rockets on Wednesday night.
Mayo scored five straight points to put Dallas ahead 107-104, and the Mavericks won despite 28 points from James Harden, who scored the last seven for the Rockets.
Harden missed a 3-pointer and a layup with the Rockets trying to tie in the final seconds, three days after their 33-point win in Houston.
Chandler Parsons had 23 points for Houston, while Jeremy Lin scored 12 but sat the entire fourth quarter in favor of backup Patrick Beverley.

There's nothing wrong with "Paranoia" that a stronger director, livelier leading actors and several hundred fewer narrative conveniences wouldn't cure. It's too bad. All year we see R-rated movies crammed with fantasy violence too rough for teenagers yet fiscally dependent on that demographic. Now and then a more "grown-up" picture (ironically and typically rated PG-13) wanders past the studio gates, aimed at a somewhat broader and more seasoned crowd. The "Arbitrage" crowd, let's say: folks who, in this instance, might enjoy seeing Harrison Ford (as a Steve Jobs-type tech powerhouse, about to launch a "game changer" of a smartphone) chewing scenery, discreetly, opposite Gary Oldman (as his protege turned murderous business rival).
So what happens in "Paranoia," in that first big scene between these two supporting characters, in one of those private clubs made for tense, hushed confrontations? Nothing. A few sarcastic mutterings. And then we're onto the next bit we don't quite believe.
The slippery minnow swimming among the sharks is Adam, a Brooklyn boy played by Liam Hemsworth living with his ailing father (Richard Dreyfuss). Adam and his team colleagues lose their jobs after blowing a product pitch; at Adam's urging, they run up $16,000 on the corporate credit card (don't they deactivate those things once you're fired?). This hands the CEO played by Oldman a blackmailing opportunity. Undercover, Adam must join the ranks of the enemy tech company, run by the Ford character, to purloin a few trade secrets. He's being watched every second, but at least he has a gorgeous apartment and an affair with Ivy League colleague Amber Heard to keep his paranoia warm at night.
You sense how this'll go in the opening voice-over narration, which contains lines such as: "People always tell you 'Be careful what you wish for.'" Hemsworth and Heard have trouble holding the screen with this material, based on Joseph Finder's novel. They're meant to be dynamic, conflicted hotshots, but they're all about the hair and the clothes and the posing, and not so much about the interesting.
Director Robert Luketic did "Legally Blonde" once upon a time, but he's also responsible for two of the worst rom-coms of the 21st century ("The Ugly Truth" and "Killers," both with Katherine Heigl), and the technique he brings to bear on "Paranoia" is strictly routine: too much slo-mo at phony dramatic moments, too many fancy transitional montages splicing New York footage (the story's locale) into the Philadelphia-shot majority of the picture. My favorite moment comes when Embeth Davidtz, as Oldman's sleek henchwoman, scrambles to retrieve a telltale cellphone across a dinner table. It's a swift, startling gesture in a film not long on such details.
"Paranoia" - 2 stars
MPAA rating: PG-13 (for some sexuality, violence and language)
Running time: 1:46
Opens: Friday

More than 6 million couples in America each year cannot conceive a child, estimates the National Center for Health Statistics. To improve their chances of becoming pregnant, millions of women turn to fertility drugs. However, some studies have suggested that fertility drugs may promote ovarian cancer. What do experts think of this concern? If you are one of these women, what should you be aware of?
How Fertility Drugs Work
In infertility cases, 66% occur in men or in both partners. The remaining 33% stems from a problem in the woman's reproductive system. Ovulation disorder is a common cause. This means that the ovaries do not work properly. Ovaries normally make hormones and store eggs.
With ovulation disorder, there may be a lack of special hormones released by the pituitary gland. These hormones are called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). They help eggs grow and release from the ovaries.
Fertility medications such as Clomid (clomiphene) and Pergonal (menotropins) are used for this type of infertility. They mimic the actions of these hormones.
Research About the Link Between Fertility Drugs and Ovarian Cancer
Over a decade ago, studies began suggesting that the use of fertility drugs could increase ovarian cancer. This raised great concern.
1992. The first study to suggest a direct link was published in 1992 in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Researchers found that women who used fertility drugs and failed to conceive had a higher risk for ovarian cancer. Interestingly, women who used fertility drugs and conceived did not have a higher cancer risk. It was unclear whether the results of this study had anything to do with the fertility drugs or something related to infertility.
One theory stemmed from the strong evidence that certain factors associated with ovulation protect against ovarian cancer. Pregnancy and birth control pills are both associated with a decreased risk of ovarian cancer. They also result in a decrease in the number of times a woman ovulates. On the other hand, fertility drugs cause extra ovulations. Ovulation irritates the lining of the ovaries. So it was thought that these extra ovulations might promote cancer.1
2001. Another theory suggested that the culprit might be certain hormones that increase with the use of fertility drugs. A study published in 2001 in Fertility and Sterility addressed this question. The researchers exposed laboratory ovarian cells to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG), a hormone that naturally increases during pregnancy.2
The study found that FSH did not increase the growth of ovarian cells, and the hCG actually caused cell growth to slow down. The researchers concluded that pregnancy might protect against ovarian cancer. This might be due to higher hCG levels, not because pregnancy blocks ovulation.
2002. A major study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found no link between fertility drugs and ovarian cancer. The study, however, did find an association between ovarian cancer and infertility itself.3
The study found that women who spent more than 5 years trying to conceive were at a higher risk for ovarian cancer. Women who were infertile due to endometriosis were at highest risk. Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue from the uterus grows outside of it. Commonly, it adheres to the ovaries. When this happens, it can interfere with their function.
2004. A study published in in Obstetrics and Gynecology also found generally reassuring results. This study found no strong link between fertility drugs and ovarian cancer. There was, however, a slight increase among women who had used the drugs many years ago. Although this was not thought to be significant, the researchers called for continued monitoring of long-term risks.4
Investigators at this time do not believe that either a family or personal history of ovarian or breast cancer should prevent a woman from using fertility drugs. However, a woman who may be at high risk because of such a history may consider genetics counseling, and possibly enrolling in a screening program.

Eagles drop first round playoff game
CHADRON West Texas A&M's Khiry Robinson rushed for 235 yards and three touchdowns and the Buffaloes' defense stopped a late fourth quarter rally from Chadron State to earn a 38-30 victory in the opening round of the NCAA Division II Football Playoffs Saturday at Elliott Field.
With the win, West Texas A&M (10-2) advances to play at Ashland Saturday, Nov. 24, while the Eagles end their season with a 9-3 record.
"When you look at it, it was a game of momentum," first year head coach Jay Long said. "We had it at the beginning and then we let it slip away. Then, in the second half it was a dogfight. I'm proud of our guys. They fight to the end and today was another day where we did that."
Robinson, who entered the game having just 150 carries on the season, toted the ball 30 times and averaged 7.8 yards a carry. He seemed to put things away for the Buffs when he ran along the far sideline for a 24-yard TD with just under five minutes to play but the Eagles didn't go away.
Quarterback Jonn McLain, who completed 32 of 49 passes for 331 yards and two touchdowns and set the single season mark for most TD passes in a season with 30, directed a 12-play, 83-yard scoring drive that took just 1:35 off the clock. He completed seven consecutive passes to five different receivers and capped it off with a 4-yard toss to Nathan Ross to cut the Buffaloes' lead to 38-30 with 1:39 to play.
The Eagles then executed a flawless onside kick from Josh Borm that Kyle Vinich, a 6-foot-6 wide receiver, grabbed at its highest point 13 yards down the field to keep the ball in CSC's possession.
With new life, Glen Clinton gained 15 yards on two rushes to put the ball at the West Texas 38-yard line with over a minute to play.
However, the Buffaloes' defense tightened up and forced three straight incomplete passes to set up fourth and 10. On the Eagles' final play, McLain, who was being pulled to the turf, threw a desperation toss to senior wide receiver Allan Schmaltz that he caught at the 31 and stretched out to the first down marker but the spot was inches shy of a first down.
West Texas A&M took over on downs and took a knee to run the clock out.
"This is a senior class that's known for fighting through a lot of adversity," Long said. "They are great leaders and they're going to succeed in life and I'm proud to say as an Eagle myself that they are now alumni. They fought for us, for our school and for our team. I can't say enough positive things about them."
The game ended in a frenzy and it also started like one for the Eagles as they scored back-to-back touchdowns on their first two possessions. Linebacker Bryant Miller intercepted West Texas A&M quarterback Dustin Vaughan on the Buffs' first drive and the Eagles marched 72 yards in just seven plays before McLain ran in for a 4-yard score.
On CSC's second drive, Clinton rushed for 17 yards on two carries and backup quarterback Brandon Gorsuch caught a pass behind the line of scrimmage before completing a 52-yard gain to Travis Reeves. On the next play, McLain hit Dominic Morris for a 5-yard score and the Eagles seemed to be in firm control.
The Buffs didn't wilt, though, and outscored CSC 17-0 in the second quarter.
The Eagles struck first in the second half when Alex Ferdinand kicked field goals of 39 and 46 yards but Robinson gave West Texas A&M the lead for good when he rumbled in for a 4-yard score late in the third quarter.
Vaughan completed 19 of 31 passes for 269 yards but he also rushed for 69 yards. Torrence Allen led all receivers with seven receptions for 142 yards.

10 Biggest Organizing Mistakes
Are you trying to get organized but still mired in a mess? Lorie Marrero, bestselling author of The Clutter Diet and spokesperson for Goodwill Industries International is here to help. Her expert advice will help you avoid 10 common decluttering mistakes and finally get organized for good.
By Lorie Marrero
Mistake 1: Not thinking through a project before starting
When people decide to organize a pantry or a closet, they often jump right in to the project without first thinking about the functions of the space or planning out a system for maintaining it. Take just a few moments to think about how the space got this way, what habits created the disorganization, who will be using the area, and what you're trying to accomplish before you dig in.

This might seem simple but just a question for someone who has recieved his first portaledge and seen things done a couple of ways. Should i A. Haul the ledge below the haulbag B. Haul the ledge on the same knot as the haulbag C. try somehow to make it fit in the bag. Havn't seen this one Just recieved a bd cliff cabana and the bag just doesn't seem to be the most bomber material out there. Why they wouldn't make these out of haul bag material is beyond me. Any advice would be really great. Thanks Adam
Couple of ways to do this mate. As with everything climbing, most simple basic answer is: It Depends. Are you climbing overhang, slab, hauling over edges.....blah blah blah. Easiest is to hang off the bottom straps of your Haul bag which will keep your ledge from dragging as long as you're hauling up vertical. Packing the ledge inside your haul bag is also a possiblilty, but I would suggest againt this if your ledge is too much longer than your bag and you are hauling over roofs. Lastly, I would highly recommend against hauling them side by side unless it's a total free haul, as you're compounding the pressure on the not so stury bag of the ledge if the haul bag rolls on to it. An alternative is to purchase/make a more bomber haulbag for your ledge-something that may or may not be worth it to you. Good luck, and safe climbing.
Hang it under the Haul bag on a good locker together with a sling preset so when you take it off the haul bag you have no chance of dropping it. The ledge bag is usually not as tough as a top grade haul bag since it doesn't have as much contact with rock. If it starts to wear out after a few years I'm sure Fish would be able to make a new bag for you.
Thanks for the replies guys, So i guess another question is, what would be good wall in zion to go for where if i am a complete cluster i am not in anyones way. I.E. trade routes probably bad. Short and simple for a good test run of the ledge. Aid climbing up to c2 + with no really hard hauling. have done touchstone, shunes, iron messiah, all as day climbs.
Always wondered why no one but FISH made those bags to last.
so i have a fish bag, and find the quality to be much crapier than metoleus/BD etc. - anyone else find this? seems like people always love fish gear, but my bag seems whack comparred to my bro's? any thoughts fish lovers?
I tend to buy what I think is the best product that suits my style of climbing so I have a A5 ledge, a Metolius Haul Bag, Fish Aiders, Fish Snake Charmer rope bag, Yates adjustable daisy's, etc... The fish products that I do have are well made and do the job they are designed to do. They take a lot of abuse and hold up well over time. They have a practical look to them rather than a fashion statement and are priced at an affordable level. If you're not happy with your Fish bag I'd just email Russ and let him know.
I think my portaledge bag is made out of duck tape and some other crap material under it that. Works well. If it starts to wear out add more tape.
You alway want to use catch lines for your ledge. What these are are lengths of 6 or 7mm perlon with a figure 8 on both ends that are long enough to tie into you main haul locked and hang below your haul bag. Catch lines are great for your ledge, your $hit tube, and if you have a haul bucket. The reasons this is the better way is that one you can get more on multiple catch lines instead of the one loop on the bottom of the bag. The second reason is now you don't need to get under your bag to get your ledge and other such things. There is more info on catch lines here. www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=104309;se>>> I hope this helped. Caz
go get on moonlight:) You might be gaggling it up but just let the free climbers pass and on you go. My first wall was in peak season on moonlight. We took 2 and half days to do it and enjoyed every minute. We allowed 3 partys to pass which slowed us up but you cannot beat it for you first burn out in the ledge and getting into the wall flow. hauling the first two pitches is great training for horrible hauls ;) Go get it!
If it is steep, look into flagging your ledge. I don't know about yours, but my ledge can take an hour to assemble from a hanging belay. You can save this time by clipping the assembled ledge above your haulbag. Simply clip the long edge of the ledge w/ beaners to the haul line above the bag and you are good to go. check out other threads and this photo: www.rockclimbing.com/photos/Misc/flagging_on_the_zodiac_4467>>>
I'm with GuanoBoy on the flagging of the ledge. Works like a charm on steep and overhanging hauls, but can be tricky when hauling over roofs (may take direct assistance in clearing the roof edge). When flagging my Skylounge, I'll clove a couple ovalwires into the ledges corner-straps as close to the frame as possible. Doing so will prevent the ledge from attempting to collapse on itself mid-haul, while providing an easy method to attach to the haul line. (They remain here until the climb is topped out, or it's necessary to break down the ledge. They're also a handy point to clip misc. shit when you're gettin ready for dinner/bedtime.) Simply clip one corner to the haul line, detach the PP from the anchor and clip it to either the ledge or the line, push the ledge up the rope till you can clip the bottom corner to the line. Never any worry about dropping this crucial (and expensive) piece of gear. When your load gets close to the new anchor, it's easy to reach down, pull the ledge up the line and transfer it to the new anchor one clip at a time. I usually just clip one corner (and the PP to back it up) in such a manner as to keep it hanging out of the way. Having the ledge already set up makes it that much more convenient for your partner to suffer though that 4hr lead you're in the middle of. Otherwise, go with the catchlines, clipped to a locker attached to your master locker below the swivel. Use different colors of accessory cord for different things, such that you can ID what you're pulling up BEFORE hasslin' with the shit to discover you've got the wrong item.
Really try not to haul in Zion. Hauling ledges and hauling in general really beat up the the trade routes - you can see prodigal son from space from the haul scar. If you need to haul on a short route, go to Yosemite and do the west face of the leaning tower or something like that. Much less rock impact.
Just trying to keep everything linked to everything else so later - when this forum gets big, as you-all know it's about to - you can still find stuff easily. You can click here to read about flagging your ledge. If you're not flagging, use a Catch Line and dedicated locker for sure. If you want, you can clip the locker into the straps on the very bottom of your pig for a more streamlined profile [although I never bother with this]. At least this way, you can more easily unclip the ledge locker + Catch Line assembly from the bottom of the pig, without risking dropping anything. But it's still too much of a pain to reach under the pig for this wall rat. Kevin's idea above about the bumpers on the inside of the ledge definitely has merit, although is not original to him - Conrad [W]Anker's Cliff Cabana [formerly The North Face] has a pair of rubber bumpers you put on the inside of the ledge to protect it from the wall, and no doubt this would help keep your ledge from sliding around and shifting so much, too. It's actually a really good idea, and it probably wouldn't hurt a bit to add some sort of padding to my ledge next spring. I reviewed Conrad's ledge [and a couple others] for Gripped Magazine, but Conrad never sent any setup instructions with the ledge, and I missed the bit about the bumpers. I believe there was some little note that said, "look up the instructions on the website" or something, but I'm sorry, I didn't happen to have a computer with me when I was setting it up. It's a superb huge bomber ledge - expensive as hell - and probably worth every penny if you can afford it. Its single design flaw is that there is not enough adjustability on the suspension straps [something like 14 or 16" if I recall correctly] which is insufficient for all but the most "perfect" of hangs - often difficult to achieve when you, your partner[s], your gear and your pig[s] are crowded onto a narrow belay station. Often you need to hang your ledge with the straps on one end fully shortened, and the straps on the other end fully lengthened, and you can't do this very well with the Cliff Cabana I reviewed. After reading my review, Conrad wrote the magazine and called me a "Big Wall Parvenu", certainly my best insult of the year, and arguably ever! Cheers, Dr. Piton, BWP

Art education in DC
Education is perhaps the single most important thing that an individual can do to improve his or her circumstances. Education is directly related to an individual's ability to have a successful personal and professional life. As available funds for education continue to dwindle in many areas it becomes even more important that people actively seek out education to enrich their lives.
Education in art is one such area that typically suffers when financial hardships occur within a given district. Unfortunately, the arts are typically the first thing to be cut in many educational programs. Continue Reading »

By Martha M. Hamilton
Published on Thursday, June 9th, 2011 at 12:08 p.m.
Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum made it official June 8, 2011, announcing his bid from the steps of the Somerset County courthouse in Pennsylvania.
"I'm ready to lead. I'm ready to do what has to be done for the next generation, with the courage to fight for freedom, with the courage to fight for America," the social conservative and former senator told a crowd of about 300.
As we have for other GOP presidential hopefuls, we decided to take a look at how he has fared on the Truth-O-Meter.
Turns out, Santorum's PolitiFact report card contains only two statements, earning ratings of False and Pants on Fire.
Our most-recent check was a statement by Santorum that "a third of all the young people in America are not in America today because of abortion, because one in three pregnancies end in abortion." This was said during a discussion of Social Security as Santorum was making the point that the number of workers was declining at the same time the number of retirees was growing.
We looked at the numbers and found that less than a quarter of all pregnancies ended in abortions, and ruled his statement False.
Earlier this year we looked at another statement by Santorum on abortion, which is one of his key issues. "Any child born prematurely, according to the president, in his own words, can be killed," Santorum had said.
We found that President Barack Obama didn't say that. In fact, he said that abortion should be legal, but that children that are born should receive medical care. We rated Santorum's statement Pants on Fire.

SAN ANTONIO - UTSA students who came out to watch the only vice presidential debate said it was more entertaining than the first presidential debate.
"For sure it was more aggressive," said Rodrigo Cauvillo about the exchanges between Vice President Joe Biden and Republican challenger Paul Ryan.
However students like Natalie Casso said at times, the sparring was distracting.
"They're going a little too much into trying to overpower the other. Maybe they're not getting to the facts," Casso said
"I don't think it's going as great as the Romney-Obama debate," said Christopher Espinoza, but he thought Paul Ryan was holding his own.
Organizers of the non-partisan event said only about 200 students turned out Thursday evening, compared to the 750 who watched the first presidential debate.

Dressed in black clad and bursting with mixed feeling of happiness and excitement, the new mother tightly carried a baby girl wrapped in a white blanket. The baby girl was pink and bright with a big head and scrawny little arms and legs jerking back and forth. Juggling her with one hand and trying to give her a bottle with the other, together they made a perfect picture of a real mother and daughter.
Jamila Qadir didn't have a good vehicle to express happiness as it was the first time she had witnessed a child in her marvelous home. She had been waiting to have a child for more than 15 years. But now she is a foster parent in Kurdistan where sterilization is at rife. In the space of a minute, she kissed the baby, who had a mosquito bite on her cheek, more than 20 times.
All her anger, waiting and distress melted away, she said if she didn't have the child she would have been dead by now. "I still thank God that we now have this little cute baby."
"I feel that I've carried her for the real 9 months and days."
There are hundreds of Qadirs in Kurdistan who have applied to be foster parents after being tired from waiting and losing hope to have a child. The foster parents' complaint calls are very disappointing as officials don't take them seriously into account.
As Qadir said she had to wait three years to get a child and that's because of the ignorance of the officials who manage foster parenting in Kurdistan. Other foster parents have waited longer.
At least 67 removed children from birth parents got placements for foster parents since 2004, Erbil Juvenile Court figures showed. Sixty more foster parents have applied and showed willingness to the court to take removed children.
Foster parents have doubts for the way the court distributes the removed children and see inequality in the process which is new in the Kurdish society.
Nazanin Ahmed,42, has no children and have been married for 20 years. She is one of the applicants who criticized the court saying "we have demanded a child for a period of 8 years but the court has not responded to us yet".
In Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan Region, some parents throw away their children or neglect or abuse them. People like Qadir and Ahmed are perfectly happy to have one of them and raise them as their own. As Ahmed said "it's much better than having no children. It's God's blessing and the feelings are unspeakable."
More than a million children are being thrown away yearly by their birth parents in the world, mostly from Asia, Australia, Africa and the Middle East, according to an American organization.
No one knows whether the children were born from prostitutes or were thrown by their birth parents as they have no identity, head of the research team in the court Samir Anwar said.
Children are usually thrown by birth parents in front of mosques, homes or outside the city, according to Anwar. Having that in mind, religious men and preachers consider the act a big sin. Sheikh Ahmed Berzinji, an Imam in Erbil, said that the birth parents are involved in a big sin when they throw away their children and the foster parents show good deeds by raising and feeding them. "God bless them."
Foster parents should register their names first and wait until their turn comes up to take a child, said Anwar who admitted all the poor management by their side and referred it to one reason: lack of professional staff.
The court eyes the foster parent for 6 months to make sure they are ok and then gives them a child, Anwar noted, and added "there were parents who were not good and we noticed that they hurt the children and abuse them."
As the Kurdish Globe investigated deeper, it appeared that the foster parents should have a house and good incomes to be able take care of the child. And Anwar said even if they've got houses and good income we would take back the child if they didn't seem like they would make decent parents.
The Erbil maternity hospital has many babies to give as the birth parents throw them away or the mother has the baby from another man who is not her husband. And if that fact is revealed, the mother will probably be killed by her family and that's a big issue called honor killing found in Kurdistan. Berzinji said Islam hasn't allowed honor killing, perhaps it's the culture and men's "rotten mentality against women."
The hospital and the court are in contact for the removed and thrown away children since 2005, deputy manager of the hospital Khunaw Hassan said who asserted the fact that the foster parents wait for a long time till their turn comes up.
Sami Muhammad has no children since he married 7 years ago and has been waiting since 2007 to get a child from the court. He said no doctor left in the country to see so that they can handle the sterilization by medicine but came out without success. Then they learned about foster parenting and gave up hope with doctors and resorted to that and registered for a child.
There is another source for foster parents to get children which are those children who have lost their parents since 2003 during the war or post war explosions and other reasons related to the war. Their age ranges from 7 to 15 year old, according to the court.
Director of the maternity and death department Bafrin Karim said they register the children on the name of the foster parents after the court decides to give them children.
Qadir is happy as she has a child now by her name, but Ahmed and Mohammed are still waiting to get one. Ahmed, who was really down and felt terrible, stated that she never gives up hope and will wait for more years to come until she gets one because she deserves it. However, Mohammed thought differently saying she will wait for one more year, if she doesn't get one she will go to Jordan to see doctors again for treatment.
There are hundreds of parents in Kurdistan which try fetal surgery to have a child. Others register to be foster parents and many more hundreds just gave up home and wait for God's blessing.
Qadir, a foster parent now, seemed to be a mother by birth for the cute baby girl. She was so happy that she couldn't utter her sentences completely. During the interview, she cried continuously and every now and then thanked God. She prayed for all other mothers saying "May God bless them all and give them a child one day!"

Battle of Cheriton reenacted to commemorate its 370th anniversary
11:00am Monday 7th April 2014 in News By Charlotte Neal, Reporter
DRESSED in full costume, an armed force marched across Hampshire at the weekend to mark the 370th anniversary of a famous battle.
The Tillier's Regiment of the Sealed Knot completed a 26-mile march between Basing and Bishop's Sutton near Alresford on Saturday (March 29), to commemorate the 370th anniversary of the Battle of Cheriton in 1644.
An estimated 2,000 men were killed in what was a turning point of the English Civil War, with Cromwell's Parliamentarian forces defeating Royalist troops.
The two-day march included an overnight stop in the village of Wield, finishing at The Ship Inn, Bishop's Sutton, on Sunday.
The march saw re-enactors joined by Standard Bearers from the Royal British Legion at 1.30pm, when they marched the short distance to the Battle of Cheriton memorial in Dark Lane where there was a wreath laying ceremony, followed by a memorial service conducted by the Rector of Cheriton the Rev Graham Bowkett.
Around 100 people gathered as two children in periodic costume of the English Civil War lay the wreath on the memorial stone, with a one minute silence.
The event was organised by the Battle of Cheriton Project Group and is a prelude to the History Through The Ages weekend, which takes place at Scrubbs Farm, Bishop's Sutton, on June 28-29, and promises authentic re-enactment, static displays, military encampments and demonstrations.

2013 College of Business Labor & Employment Studies Undergraduate Honoree Matthew Miller
News + Events : 2013 College of Business Labor & Employment Studies Undergraduate Honoree Matthew Miller
The College of Business congratulates and extends best wishes to each of the ten undergraduate honorees of the graduating Class of 2013.
Each year the department's top performers are selected by the college's academic departments from its graduating seniors.
2013 College of Business Labor & Employment Studies Undergraduate Honoree
Matthew Miller
Pursuing a college diploma has been my life-long dream. As determined as I was 20 years ago, I was unable to achieve this goal. After being admitted to California State University at San Bernardino, my girlfriend became pregnant and I had to drop out of college to support our child.
Growing up, I did not know my own father, so it was extremely important to me to create a stable environment for my family. I went to work. Unlike many other single fathers, my daughter lived with me. Working and raising a child on your own with little financial help or family support is a humbling experience. No matter how hard it gets, you cannot quit that job.
I dreamt of a job that was intellectually stimulating and emotionally satisfying. Although I earned a steady income, the work was not a career. The closest I came to satisfaction was working as a labor compliance investigator for a nonprofit in Southern California. After 10 years as a union laborer, I was able to help others receive the types of rights that I had enjoyed for many years as a white male in the U.S.—rights they equally deserved, regardless of their race, gender or country of origin.
I always wanted to return to college. When my daughter entered high school six years ago, I saw an opportunity to return. Talking to her about the importance of college when I, myself, did not have a degree felt hypocritical. I wanted to prove my own commitment to higher education. Although I knew it would take time to complete my baccalaureate, I started taking a night class at Riverside Community College.
What I find interesting about returning to college is that, with all my experience, I know what I want to be when I grow up. My current major is quite different from the one I chose 22 years ago. As a curious young man I entered college to major in psychology. And today, I am graduating with a major in labor and employment studies. I have even been fortunate to be offered a permanent position with the Carpenters' Union in labor compliance upon graduation. In this capacity I will put the skills and knowledge I gained at San Francisco State University to help working people again.
I did not know what to expect as a nontraditional full time student at SF State, but my goal was to put the same effort into my education as I put into my work. I was awarded several University scholarships, as well as the Bernard Osher Reentry Scholarship. Receiving money to help with school affirmed my belief I had made the right decision.
In my first semester, I was fortunate to take a GWAR course where I learned valuable research and writing skills. I was not a natural when it came to these skills, but after many revisions and hard work, I entered my final paper for the class into the David Selvin Student Essay contest and won first prize for undergraduates.
Because I improved my writing skills so much, I was able to begin an internship with The Alliance for Labor Standards Enforcement and Training. Run by two prominent women labor and employment lawyers, this educational website helps working people understand workplace rights, and enforces them when necessary. In this capacity I wrote tutorials in both public works investigation and enforcement.
As an SF State student I have been able to put my education first. Education is not like a job that you leave when your shift is over. You can always do more to improve a paper or study for a class. I did not want to miss the opportunity to see what I was capable of after having dropped out 22 years ago. While there are many opportunities for distraction—when friends are out for the night, or making weekend plans—I always stayed true to my goals. The ideals that made me a good and dedicated father made me the successful student who will graduate and fulfill a dream today. I have…had the honor of earning a position on the Dean's list for three consecutive semesters. I will always look back on my experience here as an example of how to pursue my future endeavors with the same level of dedication and enthusiasm.

Hi all,
I removed the rear wheel today nearest the transmission. The whole inside of the rim as well as the final drive were coated in a thick oily black goo. Something had been leaking all those years ago when it was put away. Thing is, I'm not sure what was leaking. The final drive pan gasket on that side is immaculate, as far as I could tell all the fluid was still in there, nice and clean too when it came out. Anyone know what the black mess might be indicative of?
I'm wondering, there was a lot of blowby of oil past the head gasket, and a leak in the underslung exhaust at the muffler clamp under the tranny, maybe all the black was from exhaust.
Anyone seen this before?
I don't think my hub seal is leaking, looks pretty good.

Most of the discussion after the Dolphins' 23-22 loss to the Steelers will center around the officiating call that cost Miami what would have been a game-clinching fumble recovery.
But the Dolphins were lucky to even be in that situation.
After starting the game in the best possible way by recovering two consecutive fumbles in Steelers territory, the Dolphins could only convert field goals. They gave up 290 passing yards and allowed two long kickoff returns to Steelers KR Emmanuel Sanders. CBs Jason Allen and Benny Sapp were both beaten badly on TDs.
But the most frustrating thing going against the Dolphins was their lack of a run game, which made their play calls on two red-zone opportunities and their final drive much more confusing.
The PFW Spin
Yes, the Dolphins were up against the best rushing defense in the league, but with RBs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, some thought (and clearly the Dolphins did too) they could find some success on the ground.
The two combined for 62 yards on 20 carries — 3.1 yards per carry.
The Dolphins are 3-0 this season away from home, and have rushed for at least 100 yards in each of those games. They are 0-3 at home, and have failed to rush for more than 92 yards in those three games. This was last year's fourth-ranked rushing offense, and that was without Brown for part of the season.
Offensive coordinator Dan Henning specializes in going after an opponent's weakness, and the Dolphins did throw it more than they ran it on Sunday, but it was when they ran the ball that was almost as disconcerting as how they ran the ball.
After recovering a Ben Roethlisberger fumble at the Steelers' 13-yard line early in the first quarter, having already turned a fumbled kickoff into three points, Williams ran the ball three times. His second-down run gained eight yards, but the other two rushes were stopped for no gain. The Dolphins settled for a short field goal. Not a single throw? Not even one attempt toward WR Brandon Marshall or WR Davone Bess in the endzone? The Dolphins could have gone up 10-0 on the Steelers, instead they turned two huge turnovers into just six points.
And that wasn't the end of the Dolphins' attempts to run the ball in key situations. When they got the ball with 2:26 to go down by just one point, their first play of the drive was a two-yard run by Brown. Clearly, they were trying to catch the Steelers off guard, but it completely backfired. They were forced to rush a play before the two-minute warning (a drop by TE Anthony Fasano), leaving them in a 3rd-and-long situation.
Two more incomplete passes later, Miami is now 3-3, facing two tough road contests in Cincinnati and Baltimore. While they have shown they do not need to run the ball to be productive on offense this season, the Dolphins need to get more consistency on the ground, or at least recognize better when it's time to air it out.
Aside from Marshall, Brown and Williams are the best players on that offense. They should be scoring points when the team gets in the red zone. Instead, the two have combined for one rushing TD through six games.

The annual Snow Plow Rodeo brought trucks and crews from throughout Cape May County to show off their driving skills.
The 17th annual event, held at the Cape May County Airport, is mostly about training snow plow drivers for the upcoming season, but includes a good dose of healthy competition.
The plow safety course is set up with seven stations, showing the drivers some of the obstacles they may face out on the roadways this winter.
"How to do a cul-de-sac, typically in Cape May County, a lot of residential developments have cul-de-sacs, it teaches them and explains to them how to properly plow a cul-de-sac. We have other maneuvers that they do, backing up," said Frank McCall of Cape May County Public Works.
Drivers also attended a safety lecture put on by the Cape May County Public Works Association at the Naval Air Station Wildwood.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

At first Naomi Watts balks when asked if she has a bawdy sense of humor, though bawdy is the exact word that three friends—actresses Nicole Kidman and Rebecca Rigg and writer-director Rodrigo García—each use when describing her ability to keep them in stitches.
"She's bawdy as hell," says Rigg, who shared a Bondi Beach apartment with Watts in Sydney, Australia, two decades ago. "She's unshockable, and she's shocking, especially to people who don't know her."
Watts, who stars in Dream House, opening September 30, and J. Edgar, due out November 9, still isn't buying. "What exactly does bawdy mean?" she asks.
I punch up the definition on my laptop and read it to her: "dealing with sexual matters in a comical way; humorously indecent."
She laughs. "That's a bawdy sense of humor? I do, I do," confesses Watts, 43. "And it's definitely heightened when I'm in the company of Australian women and a drink."
Perhaps that accounts for the night, recalled by Rigg, when Watts, after hours at a friend's restaurant, climbed atop a table and launched into a risqué dance routine right out of the '80s pop-music show Solid Gold...

We'll have a deciding Game 7 in Boston-Washington, as a pretty goal by Tyler Seguin gave the Bruins a 4-3 victory and knotted the series at three games a piece.
Nicklas Backstrom gave the puck away on a pass that ended up with Boston's David Krejci. Krejci passed it forward to Milan Lucic, who gave Seguin the puck with an opportunity to score one-on-one against Braden Holtby. Holtby came out to contest the shot and Seguin remained patient, held on, and took an easy shot at an open net after sliding past the goalie.
Here's video of Seguin's game-winner:
This Caps fan really says it all:
This has been an exciting series, to say the least: After six games, each side has scored the exact same number of goals. That won't remain true, as one side will pull ahead by winning Game 7, and the series.
For the Boston fan perspective, head to Stanley Cup of Chowder and SB Nation Boston. For thoughts from the Caps side, head to SB Nation D.C. and Japer's Rink.

HOUSTON (AP) - A Texas judge has decided to
continue allowing, for now, a Southeast Texas high school's cheerleaders to use
run-through banners with biblical verses at football games.
State District Judge Steve Thomas said
Thursday at the end of a day of testimony that he needs more time to issue a
final ruling. He extended a temporary order granted last month to allow the
banners. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 18.
Kountze High School cheerleaders
have used run-throughs at football games with scripture verses, such as "I
can do all things through Christ that strengthens me."
An attorney advised the district to ban the
run-throughs as possibly violating U.S. Supreme Court rulings barring prayer in
Plano, Texas-based Liberty Institute sued, arguing the ban violates the
cheerleaders' free-speech rights.

The US Food and Drug Administration last week told healthcare professionals that it is updating safety information and recommendations on metal-on-metal hip replacements because of early failures in many cases.
The FDA also issued a proposed order that would require manufacturers of metal-on-metal hip replacements to submit premarket approval applications to prove the safety of the devices. At present the manufacturers have to show only that their devices are similar to ones on the market.

Assuming that money and work are no object, where in the US:

Shopping will be on the minds of many today either returning holiday gifts not to their liking or looking for further price reductions than they found before Christmas.
Many call today Boxing Day.
In the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other places it is a legal holiday, according to Factmonster. Based on legend, during the Middle Ages, servants were required to work on Christmas in England and took the following day off. Their employers would give them gift boxes as they prepared to leave and enjoy the day with their families.

In the United States, some go back to work the day after Christmas while others look for shopping bargains. Please let us know the best deal you ever got on Dec. 26 in the comments section below the story.

The Bills' run defense still has some holes, but it is improved from last season when it ranked last in the league. Part of the success should be attributed to free-agent acquisition Nick Barnett.
Barnett replaced ILB Paul Posluszny and has done what Poz struggled to do — make big plays. Barnett has a sack, a forced fumble and two interceptions — one of which he returned for a touchdown. He also is second on the team with 58 tackles.
The way we hear it, Barnett was an immediate leader once he joined Buffalo, helping replace Posluszny in that aspect, and he understands the defense well. He is making an impact on and off the field with the upstart Bills.
"Besides the physical qualities of speed, instincts and things like that, he brings an energy to our defense and to our team," head coach Chan Gailey said this week. "Every time he walks on the field he's got energy, whether it's practice or a game. He's brought a great little edge to us as well."
