By now, you probably know Ashton Eaton set a world record in the men's decathlon on Saturday. Eaton's 9039 points at the U.S. Track & Field team trials bested the previous world mark of 9026. It was a pretty great moment, with many of the best decathletes in US national team history on hand to witness the occasion. And it all ended with a nice gesture from a fellow competitor.
This is how the 1,500 meter race, the final event of the decathlon, ended. If you want to skip ahead, fast forward to about the four-minute mark.
Duke's Curtis Beach was leading the race, but decided to step aside, giving Eaton the stage. Finishing order doesn't matter in the decathlon, so it wasn't as though Eaton was handed free points. Instead, it's about time, and Beach was already out of the running for a spot on the team anyway.
Beach was actually somewhat of a rabbit -- the speediest competitor in the 1500. He set the pace for the race and Eaton rose to the occasion, getting the time he needed to break the world record.
You can hear Beach talk about his decision to step aside at the end of the race here. Pretty neat display of sportsmanship.

Use Insect Dust to eliminate crawling insects around your home. Our natural diatomaceous earth comes from the natural fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. Diatom particles are very small and sharp – but only harmful to the exoskeletons of insects. When insects crawl over diatomaceous earth, the tiny diatom particles cut into the waxy coating of insects and they die from dehydration within 48 hours. Insects cannot become immune to its action as it is a mechanical killer – not a chemical one.
Insect Dust is an EPA registered natural insecticide. Safe to use around your family and pets - it can be rubbed right into your pet's fur.
Insect Dust kills the following insects:
- Fleas
- Ants
- Cockroaches
- Bed bugs
- Ticks
- Silverfish
- Beetles
- Earwigs
- Wood bugs (pill bugs)
- Crickets
- Spiders
- Aphids
- Spider mites
- Flies
- Stink Bugs
- Tomato hornworm
- Slugs
For Indoor Use:
Lightly coat a thin layer in areas where insects are found or may hide. For example: kitchen cupboards, behind and under appliances, baseboards, or drain pipes. For carpets, lightly sprinkle the insect dust over the carpet, and leave for 2-3 days before vacuuming.
Leave the insect dust in place until you no longer see any signs of insects in that area, at which point you can clean it up.
Thoroughly dust carpets and pet's bedding or sleeping areas, as well as cracks and baseboards. It can be rubbed into your pet's fur.
Take apart bed and dust joints and channels. Dust any hollow tubing and the interior framework as well as the mattress and all cracks in the room. Use a turkey baster or duster to apply clouds of the dust over the affected area. Leave the dust to do its job for a few days. It is still safe to sleep in your bed even while the dust is present.
Lightly dust under the sink, inside drawers, or along the baseboards, and wherever else silverfish are found.
Carpet Beetles
Thoroughly dust along baseboards, carpet edges, under furniture, carpet, and rugs, and in closets and shelving.
For Outdoor Use:
Lightly coat a thin layer where insects are found. Areas such as patios, porches, window sills, door frames, foundations, drain pipes, and pools. Apply as a barrier around plants, trees and vegetables gardens. You need to reapply insect dust after heavy rainfall.
Fire Ants
Sprinkle diatomaceous earth directly on the ant mound, or mix with water to saturate the mound. It can also be sprinkled along ant trails. The ants will track the DE back to their nests where the colony will be exposed to its abrasive action.
Thoroughly dust areas where flies gather (livestock pens, kennels, corrals etc.). It also can be applied to livestock coat as a contact insecticide. DE can also be added to food for pets and livestock. DE helps as a deworming agent for livestock, and it ends up in their dung. Flies lay eggs on the dung which hatch into maggots, which are then killed by the DE. Effective method for fly control, especially on farms and homesteads.
Slugs, earwigs, and other garden pests
Apply as a barrier around plants and garden beds. For best results, reapply after rain. If diatomaceous earth washes into the soil it will continue to benefit your garden by retaining water for future slow release into the soil. OMRI Listed for use in organic agriculture.
Lice control for chickens
Lice are a common scourge around chickens and can lower their vitality resulting in fewer eggs and low disease resistance. Set a "dusting box" of DE in the corner of the coop and the chickens will continually apply themselves with DE. This will reduce or eliminate lice within a few days.

Environmental Health Coalition refers to Diatomaceous Earth as one of the least toxic insecticides for household pest control. As an EPA-registered insecticide, it is required to have a generic health warning on the label, despite its safety.
Please note: Insect Dust Diatomaceous Earth should not be confused with "Pool Grade" diatomaceous earth for pools or water filtration systems. Pool Grade DE has been heat treated, causing the formerly amorphous silicon dioxide to become crystalline, and it is not safe or effective for household pest control.

Questions about the Insect Dust Diatomaceous Earth - 4.4 lb
- From lacey at 8/10/12 3:03 PM
- Hi i was reading this and it seems to sound like it works and im interested in trying it but is it safe for kids? I have a 14month old child and my two boxers are infested with fleas and so is the house and we hav tried everything nothing is working!! Can you clarify if its safe for kids thank you
- Yes, the insect dust is food grade and so it is entirely safe to use around children.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From dan at 8/4/12 8:18 AM
- will de help with pine bettles? if so how to i apply? thank you
- Yes, DE will kill pine beetles. The key to application is to leave DE in areas where the insects will walk across it or come into physical contact. In mature trees this is difficult., especially if infestation has already begun. For seedlings, DE can be sprinkled around the base and dusted over the seedling for protection.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From natalie at 8/1/12 4:32 AM
- From Ruth at 7/26/12 11:39 PM
- We live in a very old building above a boiler room and are infested with brown recluse spiders. The main difficulty with killing theses spiders is that their bodies are high up off the ground so even the most potent insecticides are ineffective. Will DE work on these frightening pests?
- Yes, the diatomaceous earth will effectively kill the spiders in your home. For best results, apply the diatomaceous earth anywhere that they regularly frequent. It can even be applied to walls using a large brush. As long as the spiders come into contact with the insect dust, it will succeed in killing them after a few days.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Kelli at 7/21/12 1:16 PM
- Was wondering when I put this on my cats and they clean themselves, is this safe?? Also, my one cat is 13 years old and has sensitive skin, is this safe for him??
- Yes. DE is safe to apply to the fur of your cat and harmless to the cat if he/she licks it.
For the cat with sensitive skin, it is prudent to apply DE to a small spot on the cat to see if it irritates the skin in any way. If there is no irritation then gradually enlarge the application area and observe the cat for any possible reaction.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From August at 7/20/12 7:56 PM
- Can I put DE on myself?
- You can put DE on yourself in terms of safety, but it would not be particularly effective in deterring insect pests. The DE takes time to be effective, since it kills the insect by scoring the carapace which dehydrates the insect. For personal protection, you would do better with Herbal Armor or similar insect repellents.
DE is not a repellent. It is a nontoxic form of insecticide which is most effective over time. We leave DE in small piles about the house in areas where it is not visible. This keeps the insect population down and in some cases eliminates the insect population entirely.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Cathy at 7/20/12 1:27 PM
- Part 1-Will this product hurt my carpets?
Part 2- It is hard to keep completly away from vents in most rooms as they do blow across the area. I have tried to work it in and under rugs as best as I can but will it still be blown in to the air?
- Diatomaceous Earth is a dust, and should not harm your carpets any more than other dust that could be brought into your house from outside. As for the vents, you mainly want to avoid placing the dust directly around the vents so that a large amount of the dust is blown into the air. You should still be able to operate air conditioning or run fans in your house while the dust is spread out, especially if you have worked it into your rugs or placed it underneath them.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- Part 1-Will this product hurt my carpets?
- From Diane at 7/12/12 3:04 PM
- From Karen in Ocala, FL at 7/5/12 6:45 AM
- Does DE have any effect on flea eggs or larvae or any other stage flea? (I imagine it would have to be applied directly to an inanimate egg if so?) Also, my cat has lost his fur & has wounds from biting at the fleas... a lot of them, poor kitty! Could the DE aggrevate those wounds or burn if I accidentally got it in one? Thanks!
- DE will not kill flea eggs, it works by scoring into the live flea. Once the eggs hatch the DE becomes effective/ This is why it's a good practice to keep DE in discreet areas ofd the home where fleas may occur, since the eggs can live many months even if the adult population is eradicated.
It is not likely the DE will aggravate the cat's wounds, but you should try to keep the cat away from the DE so the wounds can heal unimpeded.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Jane at 7/4/12 10:00 AM
- Can I use DE on baby goats? We have a tick and mite problem. They are 4 weeks old. Will DE help for flies on cattle?
- Yes, diatomaceous earth is safe to use on baby goats and cattle. However, it is a mechanical killer and not an insect repellant. It will kill the flies that come in contact with it, but this process is not instant and can take a couple of days.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

To the editor:
Enough already! The Affordable Care Act is law. The Supreme Court has upheld it. Move on. Once we were the ideal of democratic government. Now you are making us the laughing stock of the world. This country has a long list of issues and problems that need attention.
We do not need more posturing and spinning. Obstructionism is not either leadership or fulfilling the legislative role. Constantly playing political games with the "full faith and credit of the United States" is like Russian roulette.
Sooner or later you are bound to do irretrievable damage to this country. You are not simply responsible to your district; you are responsible to the nation as a whole.

On the face before it gets steep with the overhangs. This climb has a polished start, but, it's a great beginner lead. Clean falls, great hands/feet make for a fun climb.
5 bolts
My second lead ever. This climb has a polished start, but, it's a great beginner lead. Clean falls, great hands/feet make for a fun climb.
nothing polished about the start at all.
Lots of good moves + holds. Rather sustained, my arms felt plenty worked when I reached the top. For me the most intimidating move was just above the 3rd bolt, going up in faith that I'd find something more positive soon. Before that, making the clip on the 3rd bolt felt a bit scary until I found an incut pocket somewhere among the large but smooth holds. Still more exciting was arriving at the top anchor foolishly with no gear ready to make a quick clip (I guess I was assuming there would a nice stance) - at last I found a sort of right arm-elbow lock to hold me while I sorted out my anchor-making gear. (It did not strike me that the start was notably polished, nor that slippery holds were an issue low down.)
Excellent route, great warm up. Worth climbing again. Seems longer than 40 feet.
After climbing Birdsboro for a few years I can still say this is a true classic. Great psych route and confidence booster for friends that are just beginners.

Undergraduate Research and Funding Opportunities
"Learning by doing" is the best way to study life science, and is an active part of the undergraduate program in the Department of Biology. Students receive credit for participating in world-class research projects (and at every level from first year students to seniors), and also have opportunities for funding from a variety of sources. Undergraduates work with Biology Department faculty members at the bench or in the field to collect data that lead to publications in the major scientific journals. Students do this collaborative research during the summer or academic year. In the summer, students can be paid from faculty grants or from stipends that are part of competitive awards. Often faculty with NSF or NIH grants pay students from those funds.
Competitive Undergraduate Funding
Academic Programs for Learning and Engagement (APLE)
These are grants from the College of Arts and Sciences and may be awarded to fund academic year work (to pay for supplies, for example) or for the summer (supplies and stipend). Biology Department undergraduates have been very successful in receiving these awards. Full details are available at the APLE site
Undergraduate Research Endeavors Competitive Awards (URECA!)
The URECA! Program is university-wide and provides generous support for undergraduate research. Biology Department undergraduates have been very successful in receiving these grants. Full details are available at the URECA! site: Undergraduate Research Endeavors Competitive Awards Program (URECA)
McNair Scholars Program
The McNair Scholars Program is a University-wide program that provides research opportunities and mentoring to students interested in pursuing a graduate degree. For further details and eligibility requirements, visit the McNair Website.
Academic Credit for Research
During the academic year, many undergraduates carry out research and also often receive academic credit for this work. Students work with a faculty research advisor to design a project and submit the project description and a method for evaluation of the work to the department's advisor in charge of undergraduate research courses. Upon approval, students then enroll for research courses: Bio 191/192 Research Apprenticeship; Bio 193/194 Internships; Bio 197/198 or Bio 297/298 Undergraduate Research; Honors 208/209 Honors Research in Biology. The apprenticeship is designed for students in the first or second year to become acquainted with research. Internships are designed for students who want an experience outside UVM where they might work with the Medical Examiner, State Forensic Lab, a law firm specializing in intellectual property, a biotechnology firm, as examples. There must be an academic component minimally with a research paper and data analysis. Bio 197/198 and Bio 297/298 are the courses students enroll in when they are carrying out research in their junior and senior years. As for the apprenticeship and internship, the undergraduate must work with a faculty research advisor to design a project and a method of evaluation before the student begins the work. Senior students who are taking College Honors enroll in Honors 208/209 Honors Research which requires a formal proposal to the Honors Committee to describe the honors thesis research topic.
Research Opportunities
Students in Biology can work with faculty members in the Biology Department, or search with their academic advisor a laboratory and faculty advisor outside our department in one of the many life science laboratories, including clinical research laboratories in the College of Medicine. If an undergraduate wishes to enroll for academic credit for work with someone outside the department, our usual procedures are followed and there will be a department faculty member assigned as liaison to insure that the undergraduate has the best possible experience, when working in settings outside the Arts and Sciences College. For more information contact Research Coordinator: Prof. email@example.com

Medical Examiner's office will perform an autopsy Monday on a 71-year-old man who died at a Lakeland gun range on the weekend in Lakeland.
It happened around 9:40 a.m. Sunday at the Tenoroc Mine Shooting Range. Dr. Jamie Gonzalez of Orlando says he was standing at the sixth shooting station, and his friend, Larry Simpson, 71, was operating the remote control for the clay machine.
Gonzalez told deputies he heard a shot directly behind him, and turned to see Simpson with a gunshot wound to the upper torso. Simpson's shotgun was laying beside him.
Deputies say Gonzalez called for help and tried to resuscitate Simpson, but he was later declared dead. At this point in the investigation, detectives do not know how Simpson was shot.
The manner and cause of death will not be released until further investigation, tests, and autopsy results.

We're less than a month away, from this year's Heart Walk for the American Heart Association.
Taking part in the even can help to save lives.
While this nation has made huge strides in the fight against heart disease, it is still taking more than 2100 lives every day.
So far, almost 700 people are a registered to take part in the Heart Walk.
It's at Oneok Field on the morning of Saturday, April 20th.
The Opening Ceremonies are at 8:00 a.m., with the walk starting at 9:00 a.m.
KTUL's Chief Meteorologist Jennifer Zeppelin will emcee the event.
You can register as a team member or as an individual with the adjoining web link.
While the Heart Walk raises valuable funds for research, it's also intended to emphasize the importance of walking our daily lives.
Almost all the factors that influence heart disease are improved by regular walking.
It lowers weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and bad cholesterol.
It can also be a healthy social activity that doesn't require a lot of equipment or an expensive gym membership.
Just 30 minutes of walking each day can have benefits and it can be broken up into smaller segments, to fit your schedule.

But lets be real, IS is highly desirable. There is no disadvantage with IS except a *slight* cost increase, and lets be frank when you are spending $2200 on a lens you can't really argue costs. The 17-55 has IS, the 70-200 has IS, the 24, 28, 35mm consumer primes all have IS. Obviously it is very doable both financially and engineering wise.
The advantages with IS are plentiful. Less shots needing tripod, less blurred shots, and even if you have a steady hand your shots will be slightly sharper with IS due to its nature as no one has the hands of a tripod. If we were all as steady as a tripod, tripods would not exist. More possibilities for photos are unlocked. And it helps video, too, if you are into it.
There is no effective argument against IS. Canon is just playing marketing games getting people to buy the same lens over and over again, because they can. That is why it is not in the 24-70 II, no other reason. When the 24-70 IS comes out, the 24-70 II will drop like a rock in value. Take a look at how much less resale the 70-200 non-IS versions have versus the 70-200 IS versions.
So, while people can say they might not need it, that is probably true. But you also don't need L lenses or a full frame camera. IS is another tool in the toolbox that is HIGHLY DESIRABLE. Let's just hope we don't have to wait too long for Canon to milk the non-IS version before the inevitable 24-70 IS release.
Yes, the 24-70 II is sharper than the 24-105. But that has nothing to do with IS, it simply uses better glass. Once the 24-70 f/2.8 IS comes out, the 24-70 f/2.8 will be soundly outclassed and lessened in value IMO.
Have you actually compared for yourself the output from the 24-105 vs the one from the 24-70 f2.8 II?!

Oakley Signs Women's World #1 Golfer Yani Tseng
Oakley is pleased to welcome Taiwanese golfer Yani Tseng to the company's Global Women's Team! Ranked number one in the Women's World Golf Rankings, Yani has relied on Oakley's unique blend of technology, performance and style for years. Her penchant for winning tournaments and setting records not only aligns with Oakley's drive to set industry standards for premium sport performance products, but also makes her a fitting ambassador among the company's crop of driven young golfers revolutionizing the game today.

"It is always amazing to be a part of that journey and with Yani, the ride has been incredible. We're pleased to further our support as she continues to make her mark on the world of golf."
At just 22-years old, Yani is the youngest player ever, male or female, to win five major championships. Having worn Oakley sunglasses since she was 15 Yani cannot imagine playing golf without her Oakley eyewear. "I am able to focus on my game knowing that my eyes are protected by my Oakley Fast Jackets," says Yani. "Their comfort and style help me to feel great and perform at my best!

Maurice Hines to direct NY Apollo 'nightclub' show
NEW YORK (AP) - New York City's storied Apollo Theater will be temporarily transformed into a glamorous, old-school nightclub in February. It's part of a production directed, choreographed and hosted by Maurice Hines.
Grammy-winning jazz singer Dee Dee Bridgewater will be among the performers.
The orchestra level will become a club-style setting, offering table service, drinks, dancing and interaction with the performers.
To accomplish the task, the historic theater's main-floor seats will be removed, and the stage will be extended.
Hines' history with the Apollo began when he was 7 and his brother, Gregory, was 5 years old.
"Apollo Club Harlem" will have three performances. Tickets go on sale Monday.

Things I liked:Great trainer for 22/45 bullseye competition. Has the feel of a real hand gun, vs. the heavy and long typical 10 meter air pistol. Trigger is excellent. Weight is perfect (with added rails and weights 120g total located out front). A world class PCP Pistol in a smaller frame. A pleasure to shoot!
Things I would have changed:$1200 price point would be better, include an option for a 2nd cylinder. Add a rail for mounting a red dot.
What others should know:The gap at the barrel sleeve to air cylinder is too small for mounting a clamp on scope mount like used with the Izzy's. Requires a female DIN adapter (yoke) if filling from a std. scuba setup.
Things I liked:Everything.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:I bought this to have some fun in a makeshift range I have in my basement. I've shot guns of all types my whole life but I'm not a competitive shooter. If I were, I might have more input on the pros and cons but for my needs, it's perfect. I've put about 1000 pellets through it and I love this gun. Great fun and will probably always be more accurate than I am. I also bought a Hill Mk III pump and it maybe takes me 2-3 minutes to pump the cylinder to 200 bar. Just a cosmetic note, the Piccolo I received has a black muzzle as opposed to the red shown in the pic.
Things I liked:The grips on this airgun fit well in my hands, the ability to adjust the gun to fit the shooter is nice.
Things I would have changed:Waited 8 weeks and the gun was DOA, completely none functioning, pyramyd air was great and returned it with no hassle. The gun is definitely not worth the wait, should have done the 10 for $10. Even if the gun functioned I dont think it is worth a fraction of the cost or the wait. The hand grip doesnt adjust enough for my hands, I like a more traditional 90 degree gun to grip angle, where as this gun does not adjust that much.
What others should know:Pyramyd air has a great return policy, glad they were there to help me return it.

A man was arrested following a three-hour standoff with police in Elizabethtown, Lancaster County.
Officers were called to the first block of South Market Street around 8 p.m. on Sunday after a neighbor in an adjacent apartment heard a gunshot and called 911.
An officer spoke to the suspect, 53-year-old Kirk Goldinger, briefly on the phone. Police said Goldinger then hung up, and the county's SERT was called in to assist. Some residents were evacuated.
Police said Goldinger surrendered shortly after 11 p.m. without incident.
According to authorities, Goldinger had been behaving unusually and making threats toward neighbors earlier in the day.
He was taken into custody and transported to Lancaster General Hospital for a mental health evaluation. Once he was released, he was transferred back into police custody.
Goldinger is charged with one count of terroristic threats. He was arraigned and released on $25,000 bail.
On Monday morning, police executed a search warrant on the Goldinger residence. They seized ammunition and several firearms.

Crimson Tide men's golf team wins third straight SEC Championship
Monday, April 28, 2014 12:08 AM EDT
Monday, April 28, 2014 12:19 AM EDT
From the University of Alabama Athletics Department:
ST. SIMON'S ISLAND, Ga. –
The No. 1 Alabama men's golf team won its third straight SEC Championship and the fifth in school history Sunday with a 16-shot win on the par-70, 7,005-yard Seaside Course at the Sea Island Golf Club.
"I am very proud of how this team played with a lead today," Alabama head coach Jay Seawell said. "LSU turned in an outstanding round, but I was just so pleased with how our guys responded to that challenge. It is also a big deal to sleep on a big lead last night and come out today and play like champions – to play Alabama golf."
The Crimson Tide carded a 12-under 268 for a school and SEC Championship-record 806 (-34). LSU mounted a challenge in the final round, breaking UA's one-day old SEC record of 266 with a 263 (-17) on Sunday to finish second at 18-under 822.
Senior Bobby Wyatt continued his flawless play to secure SEC medalist honors at 18-under 192. It marked both an Alabama and SEC Championship record. Wyatt finished the 54-hole SEC Championship without making a bogey and recording 18 birdies and 36 pars with rounds of 65, 61 and 66.
"Bobby was in great command of his game and his emotions today," Seawell said. "It is so difficult to play with a big lead and to come out with a bogey-free 66 is a big deal. I am so proud and happy for him to get his first win at the SEC Championship."
It was the first medalist honor for the Mobile native after five-career runner-up finishes and 17 top-five showings. The Ben Hogan Award finalist lowered his scoring average to 70.48 on the season and 17-below par.
"It is a great feeling to get the win today, and a great feeling to win our third straight SEC title as a team," Wyatt said. "I have had a lot of close calls (individually) before and those disappointments have helped make me the player I am today. I would not change a thing about my career, and those close calls have definitely made me a better player."
"I played very well today. I did not make very many mistakes, and when I did, I was able to recover. I was in command of my emotions and it all kind of came together."
Freshman Robby Shelton also carded a 4-under 66 on Sunday to finish alone in third place at 10-under-par 200 for his seventh top-five finish in 10 events this year. He lowered his scoring average to 70.10 on the year and 27-under par. Shelton played the first 54 holes of the SEC Championship without a bogey before recording a five on the par-4 18
hole Sunday.
Senior Cory Whitsett posted a top-10 finish as well with a final round, bogey-free 67 (-3) that left him tied for ninth at 4-under-par 206. Trey Mullinax shot 69 Sunday for the Tide's final counting score. He finished 2-under 208 and tied for 13
. Tom Lovelady shot 73 in the final round to finish tied for 43
at 7-over 217.
Alabama's 806 broke the school scoring mark of 810 set at the 2007 Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate at the Old Overton Golf Club in Vestavia Hills, Ala. The 810 also set the SEC Championship scoring record, breaking Georgia's 2006 total of 826. The Crimson Tide's four counting scores for the three days amassed a staggering 46 birdies and just 13 bogeys.
Wyatt's 17-under-par 193 shattered Mark Harrell's previous record of 15-under 198 set at the same 2007 JPNI. He becomes just the third player in school history to crack the 200-scoring barrier for 54 holes. He joins Bobby Hill (1952), Michael Thompson (2008) and Justin Thomas (2012) as SEC medalists.
Auburn finished third in the team race at 11-under 829 while Georgia was fourth at 7-under 833 and South Carolina fifth at 2-under 838. LSU's Smylie Kaufman finished second individually at 11-under 199.
Both the Alabama men's and women's golf teams will learn their NCAA Regional Championship destinations on Monday, April 28, when The Golf Channel airs the selection show from 6-7 p.m.
"We are going to enjoy this win for about a week," Seawell said. "We have three seniors (Wyatt, Whitsett and Mullinax) graduating next Saturday and we will celebrate that with them and then get back to work. This is a senior-oriented team that understands how to get prepared this time of year."

One line - "there's no crying in baseball" - brings the movie "A League of Their Own" to many people's minds. The movie was based on a true story, and two associate members of the league live right here in the Four States.
The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League ruled America from 1943 to 1954. IIt was started during World War II, whenhen women had to take on stereotypical male roles while their men were off fighting, but there's so much more that went on behind the scenes.
The 1992 movie staring Tom Hanks and Geena Davis glamorized the time in history.
Sisters Gina Casey and Alice Francasso live in Grove, Oklahoma, and the two know the story better than most.
Alice, now 89, can remember clearly the day she was recruited for tryouts in 1948. The women's league recruited Alice and four of her softball teammates to try out.
"So the other four and myself went down to Obolaca for the last tryout and we were down there and my four teammates made it, and I didn't - I took a train home," says Alice.
Two sisters are associate members of the league and have memorabilia items and countless stories they can tell you firsthand what these women went through.
"They played ball for the love of the game," says Gina. "They didn't play because 'oh, I can get this much money', and 'today, I got a hangnail and I can't play'. It didn't work that way. They only had 15 girls on a team. Now the big leagues have 15 pitchers."
According to Gina, these ladies had it tough.
"You had to look like a lady, act like a lady, but play ball like a man, and they did," says Gina.
From playing in skirts, 11 p.m. curfews, and wearing lipstick on the field, the members didn't let that stop them from keeping their head in the game.
"That's where that saying came from 'there's no crying in baseball', because you went home and cried - those girls played with broken fingers, everything," says Gina.
While swapping male ballplayers for women during the war had some skeptical, at it's height over 900,000 fans were paying to see these women play. And not just because they were pretty, but because they were good.
"Sophie Curry, she stole 201 bases in one season, one season alone," says Gina.
When the war ended and men returned stateside they also returned to their baseball fields.
Twelve years after it began, the league ended.
"And after that year it was forgotten, put under the rug," says Alice.
Put under the rug until 1992 when 'A League of Their Own' helped to inspire a whole new generations of women.
Alice and Gina say the league holds its 70th anniversary this year, proving the legendary women of baseball still got it.
The women of baseball did not give up when the league ended. Alice and Gina spend their days traveling the country, speaking to young women, hoping to offer a little inspiration.
"I hope that they learn that they can do what we've done, that they can keep track of what they've done, keep a journal of what they've done, later on they can pass that on, or they can go on to bigger things," says Gina.
Today, Gina says things are different for young women.
"Being a man's sport, they didn't think we could play, but, like now, girls can get on boys Little League baseball teams," says Gina.
"They get scholarships now, not only baseball, but tennis, all other sports now, the girls are getting scholarships," says Alice. "And they like playing ball, and they like their sport, so now they know once they get out of college, if they want to go be professional athletes, they have a chance now."
Thanks to professional women's teams and federal requirements such as Title IV outlawing discriminate based on gender, women in sports are part of the norm in society.
But it wasn't always that way.
"When those gals played in the short kind of the skirts, and wore nothing underneath but bloomers, you know, had their legs torn up all the time and they paved the way for this sport, I truly believe that, they are pioneers," says Lori Green, the softball coach for Labette County High School.
Though female athletes still have some mountains to climb regarding equal pay to men and television air time, Green says today's world is much kinder to the women of sports.
"You know, with Title IX and everything that is in place now I think women have the same, I want to think, a lot of the same opportunities as the men," says Green.
With 70 years of experience under their belts, Gina and Alice say they don't plan on letting up on their travel schedule anytime soon. They say keeping young women interested in the sport helps keep the legendary women of baseball's legacy alive.
According to the Women's Sports Foundation women account for approximately 40% of sport and physical activity, but only 6-8% of total media sports coverage is devoted to female athletics.
Out of about 700 female players in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, only around 100 are still alive.

Revision as of 17:15, 9 December 2012
This article explains how to rotate the Windows Phone 8 Map Control object real-time. The provided solution uses the Touch class to react on FrameReported events. It also shows a relatively simple way to test multi touch behavior using the Windows Phone 8 emulator.
Note: This is an "internal" entry in the Windows Phone 8 Wiki Competition 2012Q4. The author is a Nokia / Microsoft employee.
Windows Phone 8 comes with a new Maps framework, and provides extended functionality compared to the Windows Phone 7.1 Maps components. One of these new features is that the developer can set the "Heading" property of the Map control. This property is described on the Maps and navigation for Windows Phone 8 page as: This parameter specifies the directional heading that is pointing "up" on the map. It is represented in geometric degrees by a value that is between 0 and 360, indicating the number of degrees to rotate the map.
New features in Windows Phone 8 Maps API
Here are just a few new features for the Location framework I found interesting:
- Improved ability for one-shot location acquisition
- Map control, Map tasks can make use of the downloaded offline maps (no data connection required)
- Background task support for location tracking applications
Tip: For a comprehensive introduction to the new capabilities of the Location API, watch this excellent video from channel 9.
Since these features are covered quite well in various tutorials in the internet, in this article I will concentrate only on the map view setting feature.
How to test multi touch in the emulator
But before we could start to work on our problem, we have to come over an obstacle: what if you (like me) doesn't have the hardware to test multi touch events on a real device. Luckily there is help on the internet. The Multi-Touch Vista project on codeplex provides a Windows service which emulates a touch screen, with multiple touch points (at least if you happen to have at least 2 pointing devices).
To install this service, follow the steps from the download page.
Note The driver worked for me correctly only when I installed it as a Windows service. Make sure to block the native Windows mouse input in the configuration utility (Multitouch.Configuration.WPF.exe)
How the easy way should look like...
At this point we are ready to implement our Windows Phone app with multi-touch. For this, I have created a basic sample app, following the instructions from the How to handle manipulation events for Windows Phone msdn page.
The idea was simple, I assign a RotateTransform object to my rectangle, and catch the PinchManipulation event's contact points' location. When the event starts (i.e. two fingers touch the display), I save the initial points as the base line, then on every manipulation delta, I compute the angle between the original line and the current line.
public MainPage()
this.ManipulationDelta += this.PhoneApplicationPage_ManipulationDelta;
this.ManipulationCompleted += this.PhoneApplicationPage_ManipulationCompleted;
TransformGroup transformGroup = new TransformGroup();
this.rotate = new RotateTransform();
rectangle.RenderTransform = transformGroup;
The manipulation handler methods:
private void PhoneApplicationPage_ManipulationCompleted(object sender, ManipulationCompletedEventArgs e)
lastAngle = this.rotate.Angle;
void PhoneApplicationPage_ManipulationDelta(object sender, ManipulationDeltaEventArgs e)
if (e.PinchManipulation != null)
double angle = angleBetween2Lines(e.PinchManipulation.Original, e.PinchManipulation.Current);
this.rotate.Angle = lastAngle-angle;
I store the last angle in a separate field, in order to know where to start from when the user decides to rotate the object once again. Otherwise it would always "jump" back to its original position, because initially the difference between the base and current lines is 0.
Finally, the method to calculate the angle between the point sets (the formula can be found on the internet):
public static double angleBetween2Lines(PinchContactPoints line1, PinchContactPoints line2)
if (line1 != null && line2 != null)
double angle1 = Math.Atan2(line1.PrimaryContact.Y - line1.SecondaryContact.Y,
line1.PrimaryContact.X - line1.SecondaryContact.X);
double angle2 = Math.Atan2(line2.PrimaryContact.Y - line2.SecondaryContact.Y,
line2.PrimaryContact.X - line2.SecondaryContact.X);
return (angle1 - angle2) * 180 / Math.PI;
else { return Double.NaN; }
With these changes, I am able to rotate my rectangle by "pinching" the emulator display:
Unfortunately, this method can't be applied to the Map Control object. I guess the manipulation is marked as completed as soon as the zoom value is calculated and set. So to achieve my goal, I needed to dig a bit deeper...
The solution
To calculate the "delta angle", I need two set of base coordinates. A base line and the updated one. The .Net API for Windows Phone provides an application-level service that processes touch input from the operating system and raises the Windows Phone-specific FrameReported event. The class is called Touch.
I will catch the FrameReported events and store the first two "touch devices" (fingers) in a map (Dictionary). As soon as I register the second finger (TouchAction.Down event), I calculate the base line, and keep it until both fingers are moving (TouchAction.Move). My custom manipulation is ending when one of the fingers report a TouchAction.Up event. To make my life easier I save the start line and the current one as System.Windows.Shapes.Line objects.
In the "move" phase, I simply use the slightly-modified version of the angleBetween2Lines function to calculate the angle and apply the calculated value to the map object. The rotate center is the center of the map at the point of the start of the event.
For the demonstration I used the Simple Map Control Sample from msdn. I extended the sample code as follows:
Step 1 Registering the event handler: I put the logic in a separate class to ease reusability.
public MainPage()
// This is the only line I need to add, the rest is from the sample app from the SDK
rotationHelper = new RotationHelper(ContentPanel, sampleMap);
// Create the localized ApplicationBar.
// Get current location.
sampleMap.ZoomLevel = 10;
The constructor of the helper class:
public RotationHelper(UIElement touchArea, Map rotatedMap)
this.touchTarget = touchArea;
this.rotatedMap = rotatedMap;
Touch.FrameReported += this.Touch_FrameReported;
Step 2 Handling the FrameReported event:
public void Touch_FrameReported(object sender, TouchFrameEventArgs e)
bool moveOccurred = false;
// this array contains all available touch devices, i.e. finger coordinates
var pts = e.GetTouchPoints(touchTarget);
foreach (TouchPoint p in pts)
if (p.Action == TouchAction.Down)
// I save the touch points into the startTouchPoints and deltaTouchPoints dictionaries
if (!startTouchPoints.ContainsKey(p.TouchDevice.Id))
startTouchPoints.Add(p.TouchDevice.Id, p);
deltaTouchPoints.Add(p.TouchDevice.Id, p);
// if I happen to have the second touch point, I save the base line and rotation center
if (startTouchPoints.Count > 1)
startLine = calculateLine(startTouchPoints);
Debug.WriteLine("Start line set to: {0:f}, {1:f}, {2:f}, {3:f}", startLine.X1, startLine.Y1, startLine.X2, startLine.Y2);
rotateCenter = this.rotatedMap.Center;
else if (p.Action == TouchAction.Move)
TouchPoint oldPositionTouchpoint;
// updating the touchpoints set
if (deltaTouchPoints.TryGetValue(p.TouchDevice.Id, out oldPositionTouchpoint))
deltaTouchPoints[p.TouchDevice.Id] = p;
// if we are already rotating, update the deltaLine
if (deltaTouchPoints.Count == 2)
deltaLine = calculateLine(deltaTouchPoints);
Debug.WriteLine("Delta line set to: {0:f}, {1:f}, {2:f}, {3:f}", deltaLine.X1, deltaLine.Y1, deltaLine.X2, deltaLine.Y2);
moveOccurred = true;
// if the user lifts up one finger, we abort the manipulation and reset the values
else if (p.Action == TouchAction.Up)
startLine = null;
deltaLine = null;
moveOccurred = false;
this.lastSavedAngle = this.rotatedMap.Heading;
// if we are in a move action, we should update the map
if (moveOccurred)
double angle = angleBetween2Lines(startLine, deltaLine);
Debug.WriteLine("Angle difference to startline: " + angle);
this.rotatedMap.SetView(rotateCenter, this.rotatedMap.ZoomLevel, lastSavedAngle + angle, MapAnimationKind.Parabolic);
Please note the SetView function, which is used to update the map behavior on the fly. For the different options, you should check the Map class documentation. 10 overloaded methods are defined.
The test in the emulator looks like this:

Hi everybody,
I have installed wordpress3.5 with the theme salutation and installed the latest version of buddypress.
I want to provide 3 membership levels, a free one and the others will be paid. Since this will be a site for dentists and student in dentistry I need to know when they register which level they are and if they have experience with some of the things we provide!
I have been looking at several plugins but I have no idea which one would provide me these options. Does anybody knows any plugins or other solutions for what I want to do? Thanks

All you need to know about Stan Savran is how surprised his right-hand man and producer Roger Lenhart was when he tuned into 1250 ESPN Radio and heard the familiar voice of the dean of Pittsburgh sportscasters.
And that it was really no surprise at all.
Even if Savran was only five days removed from open-heart surgery that required eight cardiac bypasses.
"The guy, he's amazing," Lenhart said. "He did two segments. I was driving to work and just happened to flip on the radio and there he was. He's one of those guys where, I think he took off a week a year. That's it. The guy never missed work. It's killing him to miss stuff."
Savran's appearance on the "Stan & Guy Show" prompted a phone call from program director Jim Graci, who voiced his displeasure with Savran for staying on too long so soon after the surgery.
"He sounded a little tired," said Guy Junker, Savran's co-host on FSN's SportsBeat and ESPN Radio. "It meant a ton. This could be anyone of us. It was kind of emotional having him on there."
It's been that kind of year for Savran, who has endured the cancellation of SportsBeat and recurring health problems. He has had several back surgeries in recent years, dealing with spinal stenosis and two herniated disks that required removal and a spinal fusion.
So he's not nervous about going under the knife. And he understood the urgency to seek treatment when he experienced chest pain and numbness in his arm at the same time for the first time. Still …
"I had hoped maybe they would clean up some minor blockages with an angioplasty, but was told it was too extensive," Savran said. "It never crossed my mind that something had to be done imminently. I'm not afraid of surgery. In fact, my last good night of sleep was the night before the surgery.
"They told me I was headed for a major episode. The good news is, I didn't suffer a heart attack. There was no damage to the heart. It's extremely strong. That gives me a great prognosis. I kind of bought myself a new heart."
The outpouring of support has meant the most to Savran, who said he received a voice mail from retired sportscaster Sam Nover "so beautifully articulated" that it made Savran cry, had hospital visits from nearly every one of his ESPN Radio and FSN co-workers, as well as Bob Pompeani of KDKA-TV and Sally Wiggin of WTAE-TV.
Stanley Cup Game 7 hero Max Talbot sent text messages to Savran, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin asked for daily updates and former Steelers coach Bill Cowher called Savran at his Upper St. Clair home this past week.
"I appreciate not only the personal affection but that people I report on, that I have their respect," Savran said. "That means the world to me."
The respect for Savran runs deep among co-workers. Lenhart was continually amazed while watching Savran host "SportsBeat" without relying upon a teleprompter but instead his encyclopedic sports knowledge.
"If that 'prompter is off, a lot of people are in trouble – Stan never used it," Lenhart said. "Everybody else that worked at our place – Rob King, Paul Alexander – when they would do SportsBeat, they were just amazed that he never used a 'prompter. He would write down what we were doing in each segment on a notepad.
"I don't think anyone can interview like Stan, the questions he gets out. Those 'In My Own Words,' they all told him what a great job he did. He's always so prepared. His interviewing skills are impeccable, incredible. His memory is unbelievable. Just the knowledge the guy has of sports. You can ask him something that happened in 1972, and the guy remembers it like yesterday, not just Pittsburgh sports, but nationwide."
Adds Junker: "You ask him about Oklahoma State's 1962 basketball team and he'll tell you the starting five. It's ridiculous!"
Savran and Junker — better known as Stan & Guy — worked together for six years at WTAE, 13 years at FSN and the past two at ESPN Radio. They will always be synonymous with "SportsBeat," the talk show that brought the "first-time caller, long-timer listener" and "Love the Show" greeting.
"It wasn't like going to work," Junker said. "We had fun with the porch tours, doing shows with the Pirates and Penguins, going to spring training. With today's local news, you don't get to delve into anything. That was real sports, a chance to sink your teeth into some things."
Savran has been a powerful voice in the Pittsburgh sports scene, but Junker believes the combination of SportsBeat and his radio talk shows gave Savran a special connection with his audience.
"The difference in what Stan has always done in terms of a pure hard-core talk show, he's always had that in addition to anchoring," Junker said. "He's connected to people because of that. It's always hard for people to trust someone who's on the air, reading scores for three minutes a night. When you also get to listen to a guy on the radio and call in and talk to him."
That connection is even more meaningful now that Savran is out of commission for a while. Although he plans to continue his cameos on ESPN Radio, Savran realizes that fatigue will be a factor and that his health has to come first.
"I think he has to take a step back now, and I think he will," Lenhart said. "But work has been his life for so long, he just loves it so much. He doesn't miss a thing. He never missed a Cowher/Tomlin press conference. Something like this happens and he's going to be out of work for a while, it's going to be difficult for him.
"That's what he lives for, his work. He's one of those old-school guys who is committed to something and doesn't miss. When he had back problems (in 2008) and didn't travel for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, he fought us long and hard. He was devastated."
Adds Junker: "Stan doesn't have any children and lives alone. His career is his life. All of us in the media, it is to some extent and has to be. If you weren't in love with it and have the passion for it, you wouldn't put up with all the crap. Of most of the guys I know in the business, the job is more his life than anyone I work with regularly."
What made me wonder was the timing of it. Savran already had to miss hosting the Mike Tomlin Press Conference and the Mike Tomlin Show this week. Now, Savran won't be able to attend the Steelers-Browns game Sunday at Heinz Field.
I asked him if it that made it harder, considering he's a Cleveland native.
"To me, the real Browns are buried underneath the Chesapeake Bay," Savran snarled, "along with Art Modell."
Sounds like Stan is going to be all right, after all.

It was only one preseason game, and a week ago it was presumed that John Beck would be the Redskins' Week One starter, but QB Rex Grossman is doing his best to steal the job as Beck's injured groin heals. Grossman looked sharp in the exhibition opener, leading the Redskins to 259 total yards in one half of work (the seven points they scored can be blamed on two missed FG attempts). Most of all, though, Grossman played under control and within himself, not forcing the action against a steely, veteran defense. That's what the Redskins need and demand most from their quarterbacks: smart, sound play with the system generating the big-play opportunities, as opposed to the triggerman creating those plays by himself. Grossman also had a successful series in a two-minute situation, something that had to please Mike Shanahan especially, considering he claimed it was the original reason he benched Donovan McNabb in favor of Grossman last season.

From the trailhead described (known as the McCullough Gulch Trailhead), hike for a mile to a small lake. The route is directly above the south end of the lake.
A light rack is fine-a set of stoppers, a few tricams and hexes, and maybe a few cams. Protection is pretty sparse, and belay anchors can be less then bomber.
