Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Indiana recognized Rebecca Jackson-Sanchez of Hammond and her family, hosting a mortgage burning ceremony Sunday. Paying off a home mortgage is the final step of a partner family-affiliate agreement, and the Jackson-Sanchez family is the second partner family of the Habitat affiliate to have done so. Their home in the 58-hundred block of Erie Avenue is in a row of Habitat homes. Jackson-Sanchez says she was driving when she first heard about Habitat for Humanity, heard a commercial on the radio and applied. She didn't meet the requirements at first, then a year later, she got a call telling her she had qualified.
For information on becoming a Habitat partner-family, volunteer or donor, the Northwest Indiana affiliate can be reached at 219.923.7265 .
More info:
Rebecca Jackson-Sanchez, of Hammond, Ind., kept a promise she made over twenty years ago. Sunday, February 24th, that promise paid itself off in full.
"It's like the end of a time where I was in need of help, and now it's the beginning of great accomplishments in my life," said Jackson-Sanchez.
Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Indiana recognized Rebecca Jackson-Sanchez and her family by hosting an inaugural mortgage burning ceremony. Paying off a home mortgage is the final step of a partner family-affiliate agreement. The Jackson-Sanchez family is the second partner family of the Habitat affiliate to have done so.
The Jackson-Sanchez residence on Erie Avenue is located in a row of Habitat homes. Habitat builds simple, decent homes for qualifiable, low-income families.
On that bright, Sunday afternoon, Jackson-Sanchez welcomed Habitat affiliate members from present and past. The sky was clear and blue, the sun bright and warm. Board and staff members stood gathered on the Jackson-Sanchez front lawn, celebrating with 'Becky' as she placed copies of the mortgage into the flames. Those that were there during her humbling beginnings, recollected with her, sharing laughter and tears.
"I was driving when I first heard about Habitat for Humanity. At the time, I was living in a home with a leaky ceiling and really bad conditions. I heard a commercial on the radio and thought, what the heck and applied for a home. They turned me down because, at the time, I wasn't able to meet the requirements. A year later, I received a call telling me I had qualified. God truly blessed me with this. I felt like giving up, but then God brought Habitat in my life," said Jackson-Sanchez.
Jackson-Sanchez failed to meet initial application criteria based on income. Once she was able to establish consistent work, her application was reconsidered. Among those in attendance, Rosanna Fowler and Carl Strain, were the first to help make homeownership possible for 'Becky 'and her four children. Fowler made the initial home visit to the Jackson-Sanchez residence, and Strain was the construction supervisor of her home.
"She had a ceiling caving in and an exposed heating unit emitting flames. The environment was too dangerous with little children running around," said Fowler.
"I was there from the beginning," said Strain. "I'm so proud of 'Becky'," he added.
Once applications are reviewed, Habitat affiliate personnel visit the families in an effort to establish the partner-family relationship. Decisions are made based on partner-family need and application criterion.
"I raised four great kids in that house. One daughter is now in beauty school. To have paid off this home means I've done something tremendous for myself and my kids."
'Becky' remembered what it was like working with Habitat and the last days of her mortgage payment.
"I felt like they never handed me anything. It was side by side all the way. Every wall I painted and every imperfection I made in that home are mine. Those windows I helped put in are mine. That siding I helped put up is mine. When I was close to paying off my mortgage, I looked at my mom and thought that's it? That's all I owe? My mom told me to gather up all the money I have and pay if off. I did it and it's my home now."
Each new Habitat partner family is required to fulfill 300 'sweat equity hours' as part of their mortgage agreement. These hours are spent helping with the building process of the home and by volunteering in the affiliate ReStore.
As she stood behind the table watching the flames turn to ash, 'Becky' placed her hands on her face as the tears began streaming. Cheers and applause poured out from the affiliate members while smoke filled the air. The Jackson-Sanchez family has a home they can officially call their own.
"Becky and her family are a prime example of Habitats mission. If you stick with a goal, it will lead to better quality of life for your family," said Executive Director, Daniel Klein. "Today's ceremony is proof that Habitats mission and business model work for families in need. It shows that we can carry out the process of this mission," added Klein.

Building Our Future: SFMOMA Expands; 4 min. 30 seconds
|Snøhetta, SFMOMA expansion view from Yerba Buena Gardens; rendering: courtesy Snøhetta and MIR
Art can transform lives. It provokes us to think, to express, to explore our own creativity, to envision new possibilities. Our role as a museum of modern art is to offer multiple ways to inspire, to educate, and to entertain. And to succeed, we need a museum that is open — to questions, to discovery, to interpretation, to the future.
In every way, SFMOMA has outgrown its current home. With an expanding collection and robust programming attracting a steadily increasing number of visitors, there is simply not enough room for presenting art, nor for the experiences of art that people want and deserve. To realize SFMOMA's full potential, we must pursue a new kind of museum experience, a model that puts audience side by side with the art itself.
Where Art Can Take You: The Campaign to Transform SFMOMA will expand the museum building to provide a better experience for our visitors and a better home for our expanding collections, including both the SFMOMA collection and the Fisher Collection, one of the finest collections of contemporary art in the world. The new SFMOMA, designed in collaboration with the architecture firm Snøhetta, is scheduled to open in early 2016.
With this project, we are transforming not just the museum's physical presence, but also our contributions to the community, enhancing SFMOMA's role as a place for learning, inspiration, and interaction for visitors from the Bay Area and beyond. We are making SFMOMA a magnet for contemporary art and for the audiences who will engage with it.
In expanding the museum, we are motivated by four compelling goals:
In support of these goals, we seek to raise $610 million.
SFMOMA quietly launched its campaign in early 2010; driven by generous support from the Board of Trustees, the museum announced to the public on May 8, 2013, that it was raising the campaign goal to $610 million. The campaign has succeeded due to the extraordinary support of our Board and close friends. To date we have raised $570 million, or 94 percent of our goal.
The vibrant future of SFMOMA that we envision depends upon the support of our entire community. Each gift, however large or small, will have an impact on the future of modern art.
Learn about supporting SFMOMA's transformation. For more information about participating in the Campaign to Transform SFMOMA, contact the Development Office at 415.357.4087.

Rutgers Fires Basketball Coach & Athletic Director Resigns after Tape Of Coach Abusing Players Goes Viral
In this article it explains and shows a video of the Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice, abuse and hurling misogynistic, homophobic and other slurs at players. As all of this was going on and happened, the athletic director resigned after being critizied for imposing a light punishment on Rice when the video first came out. Also former assistant coach, Eric Murdock claimes the university cancelled a meeting with him months ago where he planned on supplying documentation of Rice's behavior. As of right now, Rice is fired from the coaching position and the school is trying to figure out what to do for the kids and positions.
I think this whole situation could have been handled in a better matter. I think the assistant coach should have said something or mentioned something a lot earlier before it got this badly out of hand. By this happening it puts a lot of pressure on the president to find replacements and to figure out what the penalty should be for both the coach and the director for giving him such a light punishment. Also it must be hard on the players going through all of this so the school should think of something to help them out and make sure they find a better coach.
Overall I think what this coach did to these kids was awful. He treated them with such disrespect and spoke down on them as if they were "worthless" people. No one especially kids playing for a DIV I school should be treated this way. So I hope they find a better athletic director, a better and more respectful coach and figure out a way to help the players with what has happened to them and the sport they love.

I suspect that if Kerry gets elected the BIG gun grab issue will raise its ugly head again as it was all during the Clinton reign years. So I am posting this bit of news as a reminder of what could happen.
Subject: Only the Truth
From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia
Hi Yanks,
IÂ thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under.Â
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender their 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. (That's $780.79 for every gun collected and destroyed. - RRP)
The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent, Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!Â
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not.
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly.
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in "successfully ridding Australian society of guns."Â Â
I suspect that you
won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the state Assembly disseminating this information.
The Australian experience proves it. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.Â
Take note, you Americans, before it's to late!

Jerry Brown's corrections budget revise: More cages, little else
by Diana Zuniga
Last week, Gov. Brown released his May Budget Revise, which advocates who have been pushing for comprehensive prison population reduction reforms were anxious to see. We hoped that the minor reforms to good-time credits, medical parole and elder parole from the governor's court-ordered population reduction plan would find their way into the revise.
However, last Tuesday's revised budget shows, yet again, that Jerry Brown is not committed to any sustainable change in prison policy and has no real interest in even these modest measures.
California remains No. 1 in poverty and No. 1 in prison spending.
A quick summary of what is in the revise:
- Increase in corrections spending: This year's plan shows a 1.9 percent increase in corrections spending, which is growing from $8.763 to $8.929 billion with an additional $2.272 billion in "special funds."
- Reverse to realignment: The budget authorizes the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to house people who have long-term sentences if the county agrees to accept an equivalent average daily population of short-term people and after they have served three years in county jail. It does encourage the use of split sentencing at the county level.
- Increase in probation funding: An increase of $72.1 million from the general fund goes to county probation departments that demonstrate success in reducing the number of adult probationers going to prison or jail for committing new crimes or violating the terms of probation.
- Increase in fire camps: An increase of $15.4 million reflects the participation of 3,800 new state prisoners in fire camps.
- Construction funding: Over $2 billion of total expenditures and $260 million for health care facilities improvement are budgeted for eight separate prisons.
What stands out the most is the blatant refusal to heed a generation of painful real-life evidence that expanding prisons only expands the problem while the social safety net budget continues to remain stagnant. It is no surprise that California remains No. 1 in poverty and No. 1 in prison spending.
It is clear that Gov. Brown's "plan" requires intervention from the Legislature if we want to see the implementation of any true population reduction strategies.
What stands out the most is the blatant refusal to heed a generation of painful real-life evidence that expanding prisons only expands the problem while the social safety net budget continues to remain stagnant.
Please take a moment now and join CURB's list! In the coming weeks we will be letting our legislators know that we need real reform in this year's budget to get our state out of poverty, our loved ones out of prison and end the overcrowding crisis in our prisons.
Diana Zuñiga is statewide coordinator for Californians United for a Responsible Budget.

This system is outrageous , there is no reform in the prison system because each inmate has a price tag on their head , they loss the inmate they lose money ! Why is it that they will pay over $150 a day for an inmate , but upon release most inmates are not eligible for $200 worth of foodstamps a months , or besides county ran halfway houses , there is no help for housing , like programs such as section 8 , if we could give them temporary help and make these programs available , in the long run it would save the state money and there is a better chance at rehabilition ! The system now is set up for failure !↓
Wow! At last I got a webpage from where I can really obtain useful data regarding my study and

And when she did dish, she didn't say much, just calling her big day "quiet, private and beautiful." Interestingly, the superstar kept her second marriage, to René Elizondo Jr., secret, too.

Area separation walls are critical safety features in multifamily housing. If one unit catches on fire, the area separation wall (also known as a firewall or party wall) is designed to prevent the fire from spreading to an adjoining unit or units. Equally important, it must be constructed to allow a burning unit to collapse without pulling down the firewall or compromising its structural integrity. A firewall must be continuous from wall to wall and from foundation to roof. In most cases, it continues through the roof sheathing as a parapet and protrudes through the exterior walls, although other terminations are possible where allowed by code.
Although the burned-out unit at center is a total loss, the gypsum-board area separation walls on either side prevented the fire from spreading horizontally and allowed the burning unit to collapse inward without damage to its neighbors.
Traditionally, residential area separation walls have been made from concrete block or some other form of masonry. Masonry walls do the job, but from my standpoint as the vice president for construction of a company that builds stick-framed multifamily projects in southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey, they have a couple of important disadvantages.
Masonry walls require working with mortar, which can make things difficult when winter temperatures fall below freezing. Going with masonry also introduces another trade to the site, which adds to the cost and increases scheduling and coordination problems.
We've found that the best and most cost-effective solution is to use two-hourrated gypsum-board area separation walls, which are approved by BOCA — the applicable code in our area of operations — and meet the requirements of our insurance underwriters. (Some townships in our area still require masonry walls, however.)
Gypsum-board area separation walls are a little bit cheaper than masonry, in our experience, but their real benefit is that they're easily erected by carpenters. Our current crew of framers, for example, had never installed gypsum-board separation walls, but they mastered the procedure within a few hours. With the required trade already on the site and weather conditions removed from the equation (carpenters can work on gypsum-board walls even in the coldest weather), it becomes much easier to stick to the schedule.
The heart of the system is a double layer of 1-inch-thick gypsum liner panels, which fits between the back-to-back framed walls of two adjacent units. The area separation wall begins at foundation level, where a U-shaped metal track is pinned to the slab. Because the gypsum-board panels are so light, they don't require separate footers.

The judge and attorneys in the Mario McNeill trial discussed jury
instructions Monday morning, including specific wording and charges.
The jury was away from court for what was being called a "charge
McNeill is accused of raping and killing 5-year-old Shaniya Davis in

Closing arguments are scheduled for Tuesday, but Monday's conference is a

By midday Monday, judge James Ammons Jr. had determined the evidence
presented by the prosecution means McNeill will face seven charges. They
include rape of a child, sex offense of a child, first degree kidnapping,
sexual servitude of a minor, human trafficking, indecent liberties with a child
and first degree murder.
The prosecution rested its case on Thursday, and McNeill's attorneys called
no defense witnesses.

Private Tour of St. Petersburg Palace Features $800+ Million Collection
LOS ANGELES, June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's luxury travelers can step into Russia's luxury world of the imperial past with Crystal Cruises' latest Boutique Adventure – a shore excursion unavailable on any other cruise line and only available to a limited number of Crystal guests. Offered with four Crystal Symphony Northern Europe cruises in summer 2014, the new outing affords rare, exclusive access to areas of St. Petersburg's Faberge Museum that are not open to the public, including Romanov family exhibits, former aristocratic domiciles, and Brothers Karamazov art collections. Precious bejeweled Faberge eggs are, of course, the centerpiece of the "insider" tour, although more than 4,000 antique pieces of Russian decorative arts and palatial surroundings will also envelop guests in opulence during their visit.
Via special arrangements, the museum curator himself will guide guests through Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg's impressive private collection of imperial Faberge, which includes 15 of the world's remaining 50 eggs elaborately designed by St. Petersburg's own Carl Faberge. Nine of the iconic eggs showcased belonged to Russia's final tsarist family, the Romanovs, and are considered to be the jeweler's finest works. These, combined with rare silver, religious ornaments, paintings and other objets d'art, are housed within 18th-Century Shuvalov Palace, itself a masterful work located in St. Petersburg's historic city center, elegantly restored following partial destruction during WWII.
Tour participants will be taken into palace rooms typically off-limits, including the White Column Hall, once the city's largest ballroom; the Cream Hall, encasing ornate silverware handcrafted by St. Petersburg and Moscow jewelers; and the private quarters of former palace owner, Count Shuvalov, now containing an exhibit dedicated to the last Romanovs. Literary enthusiasts will thrill to see the original illustrations for Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, created by Boris Grigoriev and displayed in the Walnut Drawing Room.
"Nothing epitomizes the grandeur of Russian luxury like its spectacular palaces, decorative arts, and, especially, Faberge eggs," says John Stoll, vice president of land programs. "This new Boutique Adventure offers guests not only an exceptionally rare encounter with some of the world's most prized works of art, but also allows them to truly sense the lavish lives of the Russian nobility that walked the very halls they explore – an ultra-luxurious look at the culture, as can only be experienced through the World's Best cruise line."
The "Special Visit to the Private Faberge Museum" is available for $229 per person with Crystal Symphony's 10-day cruises from Stockholm and Copenhagen, departing June 24, July 4, July 28 and August 7. Guests who explore St. Petersburg with an organized Crystal Adventure avoid the need for a visitor's visa within the city.
With at least two overnight stays on each sailing, the voyages call in Tallinn, Estonia; Helsinki, Finland; Berlin/Warnemunde and Berlin/Rostock, Germany; and St. Petersburg, Russia (double overnight on all four voyages). Until the June 30 "Book Now" deadline, cruise fares start at $4,340 per person.
The renowned Crystal Experience has been voted "World's Best" more than any other cruise line, hotel, or resort in history.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) -- Wayne Rooney scored twice as Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 in an ill-tempered match Saturday to provisionally move to the top of the Premier League.
Players from both teams had to be separated in the tunnel at halftime after Liverpool's Luis Suarez refused to shake the hand of United's Patrice Evra before kickoff. Suarez was making his first start since serving an eight-match ban for racially abusing Evra in October.
Police and stewards had to shepherd the players into their dressing rooms at halftime after an altercation ensued when Evra tried to confront Suarez.
When the second half started, Rooney scored twice in the opening four minutes to place United firmly in control.
Suarez scored a consolation goal in the 80th minute.

The Julbo Looping sunglasses are the best little kid…
Price Paid: $19.99 on sale at Campmor
The Julbo Looping sunglasses are the best little kid sunglasses I've ever come across. They're available in three sizes (I, II, and II) for infants to 4-year-olds. My toddler daughter has been wearing her pair of Looping I's since she was born, nearly two years ago. She wears them practically ever day, whether it's to play outside, hike, ski, or just go out and about. We don't go anywhere without them.
I'm always surprised by how many parents wear sunglasses but neglect to buy them for their own children, whose eyes are even more sensitive. Kids need adequate eye protection for UV rays too, particularly when out in the snow or on the water. Some parents say, "my kid would never keep them on," but, in my experience, if you treat sunglasses as a regular and expected part of going outside, kids adjust easily to them (not to say they'll never throw them off in a tantrum).
The Julbo Looping Sunglasses are easy to put on and reversible — there is no "right side up" —and easy to keep on with the strap, though a toddler can remove them if they really want to. They're soft and flexible with no scratchy parts for little faces and ears. The frames curve to wrap around and the Spectron 4 lenses offer 100 percent protection from UVA/B/C rays.
These sunglasses are sturdy and handle the abuse of childhood quite well. Ours inevitably have scratches on the lenses after two years of use — regular drops and throws on the ground — and we're about ready for a new pair. And since they're handled by kids, they often are smudged, but they're easy to clean with soap and water. While the lenses are no longer brand new, I think they've held up quite well for all the action they've seen.
The colors are my only nitpick. They're bright and fun, but I wish Julbo also made a more sedate color combo in each size, especially for buyers who'll be using these every day. In any case, be sure to pick a color combination you like and won't mind seeing in pictures for years to come. We bought a grey pair with light green on the sides, though that color combo is no longer offered. They still make a fashion statement, but the grey doesn't clash with various clothing and outerwear.
At $30-32 retail, you can buy cheaper baby sunglasses, but it won't be worth it. With my first child I took the cheaper route and probably bought three pairs of little kid sunglasses for the one pair of Julbos my daughter has used in the same time frame. For her pair, I happened to find them on sale, but I'd still buy them at full price.
The Looping I's are sized for 0-18 months, so it's about time I bought her a larger pair, though I haven't had any major fit issues yet. They're just a bit snug and we're ready to move up in sizing, and we're ready for new, non-scratched lenses. I don't even have to research this next purchase, I'll be getting her the Julbo Looping III's (for 2-4-year-olds).
I'm very happy with the Julbo Looping sunglasses and recommend them frequently to other parents. In fact, I joke that Julbo could give me a commission for how many I've potentially sold by word of mouth — in grocery stores, on the hiking or ski trails, etc. (They don't. I have no affiliation with the company and have never even used a free sample.)
Everyone comments on these glasses and how cute they are (people can't help but point out a baby in sunglasses). Outdoorsy moms especially want to know what they are and where I got them. I've bought pairs as baby gifts for friends and strongly recommend them to friends who are expecting.
If you know a baby or toddler who gets outside (as all kids should), get them a pair of Julbo Looping sunglasses. We love ours. They're indispensable.
2011 Update:
While the sunglass lenses have suffered some smudging and scratches -- not too surprising since they're used by little kids — the glasses have proven themselves very sturdy overall.
Just before retiring this pair in the summer of 2010, due to needing a larger size, I drove over them in my driveway with my Subaru Outback. Both lenses popped out and part of one frame cracked, but I think they look pretty darn good for being run over by a car.
If they can withstand that kind of treatment, you should feel pretty secure giving them to your infant or toddler.

Transforming Images The Art of Silver Horn and His SuccessorsAuthor:
Donnelley, Robert G., Greene, Candace S., Berlo, Janet Catherine
Pub Date: 2001
Publisher: University of Chicago, David & Alfred Smart Museum
Summary: Silver Horn's lifespan (1860-1940) placed him in the midst of extreme cultural transformations: by the time of his death, highways, silos, and gas stations dominated the land that had, at his birth, been the domain of buffalo herds and Plains Indians. Silver Horn's art documents these massive changes in the lives of the Kiowa Indians, as well as changes in Kiowa art itself: from the traditional hide paintings, themes... of warfare, and two-dimensional perspectives, Silver Horn progressed through ledger drawings, scenes of domesticity, and experiments with more naturalistic styles. The bridge he created between ancient Kiowa aesthetics and modern forms of expression had dramatic impact, serving as models for younger Native American artists such as he Kiowa Five of the 1930s, and influencing contemporary artists such as Sharron Ahtone Jarjo, T.C. Cannon, and Sherman Chaddlesone. Works by each of these artists appeared at the Alfred Smart Museum of Art for Transforming Images, the first comprehensive exhibition of Silver Horn's work to date. This volume, richly illustrated with 75 color plates and 15 black and white photographs, collects art and commentary from the exhibit. [read more]

Updated April 8, 2010 @ 12:30 p.m. ET
Last in a series of analyses of team needs, by division.
Dallas Cowboys
Quarterbacks: No obvious need here, with Tony Romo coming off perhaps his best season. Jon Kitna is a solid backup with at least another year left, and No. 3 Stephen McGee has promise. It shouldn't be a shocker if another QB was brought in to push McGee, who had a rough preseason last year.
Running backs: The Cowboys have a wealth of riches with Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice, but there is some growing speculation that the team might try to trade one of them for help elsewhere. If they stand pat, the position needs no depth. But if they deal one: with Barber or Choice the most likely to go: it would open a position for a second-tier free agent or a mid-round draft pick.
Receivers: This is a position with two standouts in TE Jason Witten and WR Miles Austin and one big unknown in WR Roy Williams. Because of Williams' salary, the Cowboys likely will give him another year to prove himself and work on his rapport with Romo, but the Cowboys have to be prepared to move on. Kevin Ogletree holds promise, and Patrick Crayton has had his moments, but the team could consider adding another wideout. At tight end, Witten, Martellus Bennett and John Phillips are a strong trio, but Bennett must continue to mature and become more consistent.
Offensive line: This unit suffered through a miserable playoff loss against the Vikings, which prompted many to label this to be the team's biggest shortcoming. Yes, the Cowboys need help at tackle after cutting OLT Flozell Adams, but Doug Free is an intriguing talent who will get the first crack at the job. OGs Kyle Kosier and Leonard Davis and C Andre Gurode are all turning 32 this year, so other spots need help, too, even with promising Robert Brewster figuring in somewhere.
Defensive line: Marcus Spears is a restricted free agent who had a solid season in 2009. However, it's unclear whether the Cowboys are willing to pay him long term the way he wants. Jason Hatcher and Stephen Bowen are valuable reserves, though their starting potential is a matter of conjecture. Another 3-4 nose tackle to give Jay Ratliff a few snaps off also would be nice.
Linebackers: The need is probably slightly greater inside than outside, considering the team drafted Victor Butler and Brandon Williams last year as backups for DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer. Inside, Bradie James and Keith Brooking were strong last season, but long-term replacements must be groomed. Jason Williams, last year's top pick, also is projected inside. This is not a major need area.
Defensive backs: Although SS Gerald Sensabaugh had a solid first season in Dallas, FS Ken Hamlin's play regressed and he was cut. The team could look to take a safety in Round One if the right one is there, and a big hitter with range ould be what they target. Cornerback is three deep with Mike Jenkins, Terence Newman and Orlando Scandrick, but Jerry Jones would not shy away from drafting another one.
Special teams: The biggest need is at kicker, where the team had trouble last season with Nick Folk and Shaun Suisham. David Buehler, a 2009 fifth-round pick, could vie for the spot, but the team almost certainly will bring in competition. If Felix Jones assumes more of an offensive role, a kickoff returner also would be on the wish list.
Summary: The Cowboys haven't gone hog wild in free agency despite the lack of a salary cap. Even though Jones can outspend almost any owner on players, there just hasn't been enough premier talent out there to justify spending so much. The draft should be how the team makes its biggest improvements.
New York Giants
Quarterbacks: Eli Manning should be the starter for several more years, and the team has essentially swapped David Carr for Jim Sorgi as the backup. Rhett Bomar, last year's fifth-round draft pick, will be in the mix, but he could get some competition. Last season, the Giants kept two quarterbacks on the roster for the season, but they won't rule out adding a third.
Running backs: The team didn't run the ball last season like it typically does, but it's in good hands with Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw as the top two options, backed up by DJ Ware and Andre Brown, who spent last season on injured reserve with a ruptured Achilles tendon. FB Madison Hedgecock is a pro, but last season was not his best. This is not a real trouble area despite the downtick in production.
Receivers: With Steve Smith, Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham, the Giants have a very strong top three and depth with Domenik Hixon and Ramses Barden as good alternatives with size. This is a group that should dominate the NFC East for the next few years. The Giants are not as stocked at tight end, but Kevin Boss is a good, young player with upside, Travis Beckum has some receiving skills, and Bear Pascoe intrigues the team as a blocker.
Offensive line: A young tackle will be on the shopping list. OLT David Diehl's future is likely at guard, whether he believes so or not. And though William Beatty filled in nicely last season and could replace ORT Kareem McKenzie, there's not enough depth. C Shaun O'Hara is a solid pivot who has a good rapport with Manning, but his replacement must be groomed. Recent picks Guy Whimper and Adam Koets haven't panned out as planned.
Defensive line: Once the unquestioned strength of the team, the D-line now features questions and concerns inside. Chris Canty should bounce back when healthy, and Jay Alford looked strong before suffering a torn ACL, but the rest of the interior needs improvement. Outside, Justin Tuck should be better at full health, but Osi Umenyiora is reaching a crossroads, and Mathias Kiwanuka has been a bit of an enigma. More depth and talent are needed.
Linebackers: MLB Antonio Pierce has been cut, leaving a big hole in the middle. Jonathan Goff hasn't done enough to earn the job there, so expect the Giants to seek help either from a veteran or a high draft pick. SLB Danny Clark could be the next veteran to go, and with Clint Sintim yet to show he's a full-time option, help could be needed outside. The Giants' most talented linebacker, Michael Boley, was hampered by myriad injuries his first season in New York.
Defensive backs: Much of this group fell apart when FS Kenny Phillips went down in Week Two, and his future very much is up in the air. The Giants signed safeties Antrel Rolle and Deon Grant as insurance against Phillips returning to full health immediately. Cornerback is in solid shape with Corey Webster, Terrell Thomas and Aaron Ross the top three, but the team always likes to add depth here, through the draft especially.
Special teams: P Jeff Feagles is aged but still quietly solid, even if his punting wasn't quite as good as in recent years, though he'll have competition with Australian P Jy Bond. The Giants will look to upgrade at kicker, or at least give competition to PK Lawrence Tynes. Hixon is a quality returner, but the Giants might want to ease his load with another option at either spot.
Summary: GM Jerry Reese has shown he's aggressive and willing to do what needs to be done to improve the team in his short tenure. He and Tom Coughlin might have felt a bit burned after most of last year's free-agent additions failed to pan out as expected. The team will look to move up or down to get their guy in the draft. They are in a strong position with the 15th pick in Round One and will look for an instant contributor.
Philadelphia Eagles
Quarterbacks: The trade of Donovan McNabb gives teh starting spot to Kevin Kolb. He's heading into the final year of his deal, though he and the team might come to an extension prior to the draft. It also is the final year of Michael Vick's current deal. Kolb and Vick will be 1-2, but the Eagles have hit the QB scouting trail hard this offseason and certainly will be interested in drafting one, perhaps high. A developmental quarterback with big long-term upside (Time Tebow?) makes sense, and with 11 picks heading into the draft, they can afford to take one in the first 2-3 rounds.
Running backs: The team could use a complement to promising LeSean McCoy with Brian Westbrook not returning. Eldra Buckley is mainly a goal-line option and special-teamer, so he's not really a consideration. FB Leonard Weaver is back, and he's versatile and can take handoffs from tailback but is best in a jack-of-all-trades role.
Receivers: There is not much need for help here, other than for depth. DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant (a restricted free agent who likely will return) are a solid top-three wideouts, though Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown were cut. The Eagles could draft a rookie to compete with Hank Baskett for the No. 4 spot. At tight end, the Eagles could use a strong blocker to pair with Brent Celek, Cornelius Ingram and Martin Rucker, whom they apparently like.
Offensive line: The biggest issues appear to be at right guard and possibly center. ORG Stacy Andrews might be replaced by Nick Cole, but it's not clear if he's the long-term answer. And C Jamaal Jackson's late-season ACL injury is a concern; Cole might have to move over from guard to replace Jackson if Jackson's not ready for the start of the season. Shawn Andrews' release opens a spot up, and Andy Reid loves to fortify his lines of scrimmage, so it should shock no one if the Eagles beef up this area high in the draft. The great depth that once was here is no more.
Defensive line: The biggest void is a bookend pass rusher to go with Trent Cole, even with the addition of DE Darryl Tapp. The Eagles could go big here. The team missed out on DE Julius Peppers, and it appears that another strong contributor is needed. The depth inside is not bad, although DTs Mike Patterson and Brodrick Bunkley did appear to tire by season's end.
Linebackers: If there's one area that stands as a big unknown, it's here. Expect MLB Stewart Bradley to reassume his position inside and as a big leader for the defense. There's an opening on the strong side, though Akeem Jordan could take over there with Will Witherspoon gone. Intriguing Alex Hall also could work at the "Sam" as a pass rusher. Omar Gaither has fallen out of favor as a starter, and Chris Gocong was dealt. More help is needed.
Defensive backs: The team probably will look to add a safety, even with the addition of Marlin Jackson. The team's struggles at the position made it tougher on Quintin Mikell to make plays. Macho Harris didn't fare well at free safety, but he could compete with Jackson or be moved to cornerback. That's also a position of need considering Ellis Hobbs' injury casting doubt on his readiness for next season and the trade of Sheldon Brown.
Special teams: The team has a number of return options with Jackson, Maclin, Harris, Quintin Demps and Hobbs, assuming Hobbs is healthy. The kicking is in strong hands with David Akers, who had a comeback season, and P Sav Rocca, though Rocca could get a run from Durant Brooks in camp. The coverage groups should be stronger with new special-teams coordinator Bobby April.
Summary: Everyone knew the Eagles were entering a crucial offseason, an the McNabb trade has been one of the biggest in franchise history. More work is yet to come, even after that. They also are expected to make some big noise on defense, and they have the ammo to add serious depth through the draft. The team has been willing to make trades on Draft Day, so don't rule out some wheeling and dealing.
Washington Redskins
Quarterbacks: Mike Shanahan found his immediate starting in Donovan McNabb, which means no rookie will be taken at the top of the draft. Jason Campbell now is on the outside, able to be moved for draft picks, which the team seriously lacks. And with the addition of backup Rex Grossman, the only possible addition here would be a young, developmental type. But with so few picks, the Redskins probably can't draft one until the final rounds.
Running backs: If it was 2006, the Redskins would be loaded with Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie OParker. Instead, Portis is an old 28 (he turns 29 in early September) with all the wear he has taken; Johnson's recent performance has fallen off precipitiously; and Parker was beaten out in Pittsburgh, lacking a second gear. Portis and Shanahan have a history, of course, but that doesn't guarantee he'll return. The team must find a young injection of life into the backfield, which doesn't feature any breakaway threats. Shanahan always has had a strong running game, buoyed by his zone-blocking scheme in Denver, so the team might look to follow his method of finding under-the-radar runners in the middle rounds of the draft.
Receivers: The team isn't completely satisfied with its production here, but a change of staff and system could help Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly to develop. Slot receiver is an open position now that Antwaan Randle El has been cut. Santana Moss remains a speed threat, and TEs Chris Cooley and Fred Davis should have success moving the chains. It's a position that could use some help, but it might not be as high on the priority list as others. A blocking tight end would be nice to pair with Cooley and Davis in the passing game.
Offensive line: A zone scheme doesn't mean the team can stick any lineman into the lineup and have success. But size and power are less important than quickness and footwork now. There are serious questions at left tackle, right tackle and right guard. OLT Chris Samuels has retired, ORT Stephon Heyer hasn't shown he can be a front-line starter, and ORG Randy Thomas has been cut. In truth, all five starting spots could be improved, but the priorities are at these spots. It's very likely the team will spend the No. 4 pick in the draft to find its left tackle, though moving down a few spots in Round One also is a strong possibility because of the depth at the position in this year's class.
Defensive line: With the Redskins expected to shift to a 3-4 defense under new defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, finding the proper pieces up front will be critical. Albert Haynesworth has the size to play the nose, but he's best working in more space and likely would be an end; there also are rumors that Haynesworth might quietly be on the market with more than a few suitors interested. Would Anthony Montgomery or Kedric Golston fit inside if Ma'ake Kemoeatu is not healthy at the start of the season? There are also questions as to who would fit at the DE spots. This position needs some tweaking for the new scheme.
Linebackers: As on the line, the Redskins' personnel here better fits a 4-3 scheme. There are pieces to build around, such as OLB Brian Orakpo, who could make a seamless transition. But Andre Carter might not be great as an outside linebacker, which is what he played — and was not as effective as — in the 49ers' 3-4 scheme. Rocky McIntosh probably would project inside, and though London Fletcher is a great pro, he'd have a harder time taking on guards' blocks inside and fighting through the trash.
Defensive backs: DeAngelo Hall has a spot on the team, but Carlos Rogers might not be in the team's future plans. He might not be traded for draft picks, but you can't rule it out, either. Fred Smoot is replaced by Phillip Buchanon. Justin Tryon made strides and Kevin Barnes has upside, but must both show more. A free safety with range would allow LaRon Landry to fit closer to the line of scrimmage, where he is most effective.
Special teams: There will be a battle at kicker, and P Hunter Smith is an unrestricted free agent, so there will be a change in the kicking game. There also should be changes in the return game, with PR Antwaan Randle El and KR Rock Cartwright being let go.
Summary: Daniel Snyder scratched his itch to spend big in free agency by landing head coach Mike Shanahan and then trading for QB Donovan McNabb, solving an immediate need there. The lack of quality on the free-agent market and Shanahan's preference to build more steadily through the draft means the team would like to add picks, owning only four at the moment. With the No. 4 pick in the draft, the team either must find an instant starter, preferably at offensive tackle, or trade back a few spots (to collect more picks) and target the same position.

Fortunately the weather was kind to us with only one heavy shower - being November we were expecting rough seas, cold and rain.
The Constellation itself could really do with a refit soon. The public areas had worn carpet and were beginning to look a little tatty. However the cabin was immaculate and always kept that way. It was unfortunate that a number of passengers went down with the Norovirus which meant that we were not able to have a buffet for breakfast or lunch and that some activities (such as the backstage tours) had to be cancelled and even the Library was closed for the whole trip. But the staff were scrupulous in keeping everything clean and sanitised. They were attempting to keep us healthy.
The major niggle was that room service tended to be lukewarm - even inedible one time - and that the service in the Marco Polo restaurant was incredibly slow. The waiting staff need better training.
One of the best parts of the cruise was the entertainment, especially the shows.

After 70 years of dreaming of climbing "The Mountain" of The Pacific Northwest, my father and I went for it on July 28, 2011.
With no mountaineering experience, less than 6 weeks from his 76th birthday and only 9 months after his 2nd knee replacement, we began our climb up Mt. Rainier.
This book tells the story with a few photographs. It was a "happening" that we'll never forget.

The needed cleanup includes a sorting of quotes in the order they appear, not sorted by character. The quotes should also be sourced - e.g. define which of the 12 issues it appears in. ~ UDScott 14:24, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
There are a large amount of seemingly random words in this page that have been piped to Wikiquote articles. For example, Comedian's "Once you realize what a joke everything is..." quote has the word "joke" piped. Or Jon's "I am tired of Earth, these people. I'm tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives." has "Earth" and "People" piped, and " Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time" has "Time" and "Jewel" piped.
Basically what I want to know is if there's a reason for most of these or if someone just came along someday and started giving a bunch of random words links to their definition pages?

The top-seeded Alabama women's golf team extended its team lead to 14 shots on Friday in the second round of the NCAA East Regional Championship at the par-72, 6,259-yard Auburn University Club.
The Crimson Tide matched the program's lowest round in NCAA tournament play – a record set on Thursday – with another 11-under-par 277, which also matches the lowest round of the season and the second-lowest round in school history. Alabama is 22-under 554 after 36 holes of play, which is the second-lowest 36-hole total in school history.
"It was pretty solid," Alabama head coach Mic Potter said of his team's play on Friday. "Jennifer Kirby had a bogey-free 66, so we have had three bogey-free rounds this week, which is always nice. Stephanie (Meadow) and Jen (Kirby) are both All-Americans and they have done great things in junior and college golf, so they are comfortable in these situations. They had scoring opportunities today. The greens are pretty similar to what we have been practicing on, so I think they are fairly comfortable."
Tulane shot 3-under 285 on Friday for an 8-under total of 568 to seize second place. Arkansas shot 6-over 294 in round two and is tied with Oklahoma State for third at 1-over 577. Texas is fifth after two rounds at 4-over 530. North Carolina is sixth at 582 with host Auburn seventh at 7-over 583 after a 4-under 284 on Friday. UCLA and Tennessee are tied for eighth at 10-over 586.
The top eight finishers at the NCAA East Regional will advance to the NCAA Championships at the University of Georgia Golf Course on May 21-24 in Athens, Ga.
The Crimson Tide have three players among the top two individuals with Stephanie Meadow holding the individual lead at 10-under 134, which ties the school's 36-hole record. Jennifer Kirby and Emma Talley are tied for second at 6-under 138.
Meadow and Kirby led the way on Friday with a pair of matching 6-under-par 66s. Meadow recorded her second straight bogey-free round with six-red circles on her scorecard, posting birdies on the first, fourth, fifth, seventh, 13th and 16th holes. She has 10 birdies and no bogeys through 36 holes. The 66 matches the lowest round of Meadow's career and the 10-under 134 equals the individual 36-hole record at Alabama.
"I played really well," Meadow said. "My putter caught fire and I made a lot of long ones. Everything just went my way."
Kirby, a senior from Paris, Ontario, also posted a bogey-free round with six birdies, coming on the fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, 13th and 16th holes. The 66 ties Kirby's lowest round at Alabama.
Talley, who held the opening-round lead after a 67 on Thursday, shot 1-under 71 on Friday to join Kirby in a tie for second. Talley, who began her round on the backside, played her opening-nine holes in 1-over but played her closing nine in 2-under with birdies on the third and eighth holes.
Sophomore Daniela Lendl was the Crimson Tide's fourth counting score in round two with a 2-over 74. Hannah Collier's score of 3-over 75 was dropped from the team total.
Alabama will play with Tulane and Arkansas in the final round. Tee times have been moved up 30 minutes for Saturday's final round due to weather and the Crimson Tide are scheduled to tee off at 8 a.m. on the first tee.

A Victoria woman remained in critical condition at Citizens Medical Center after she was ejected from a vehicle during a two-vehicle wreck Tuesday night.
April Partida Cisneros, 20, was carrying her 14-month-old daughter in her lap at the time of the wreck. Both were ejected from the vehicle because they were not wearing a seat belt, according to a Victoria Police Department news release.
Cisneros was in a Chevrolet TrailBlazer, driven by Ricardo Cisneros, 24, of Victoria, traveling west in the turn lane of Port Lavaca Highway.
Ricardo Cisneros, failing to yield the right of way, attempted to turn onto Pleasant Green Drive and was struck by a Ford F-150 traveling east on the Port Lavaca Highway.
The driver of the truck, Samuel Esquivel, 56, of Victoria, was not injured.
The 14-month-old was treated and released from Citizens Medical Center, said Sgt. Eline Moya with the Victoria Police Department.
Two children in the back seat of the TrailBlazer, ages 2 and 4, and Josh Nunez, 28, of Victoria, were also transported to area hospitals, but were treated and released.
The wreck is still under investigation, Moya said.

After eight years in office, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels may be best known for his aggressive efforts to fuel Indiana's economy, but he's also left an unexpected mark on the state's conservation efforts.
During Daniels' tenure, Indiana has added more than 50,000 acres of protected wildlife habitat and 3,000 miles of hiking and biking trails.
And, using $21 million from an untapped pot of state money that had been accumulating for years, Daniels has leveraged private and federal money to embark on the biggest land preservation projects in Indiana's history.
The Republican Daniels came into office tagged with the nickname, "The Blade," for the sharp knife he wielded as the President George W. Bush's federal budget director. But Mary McConnell, head of the Nature Conservancy in Indiana, says Daniels' efforts to conserve land for wildlife and recreation has earned him a new title: "He's the Teddy Roosevelt of Indiana."
Daniels is flattered by the analogy; Roosevelt, a fellow Republican, set aside more federal land for parks and preserves than all his predecessors combined. But it's not what conservationists had expected to be saying about Daniels, a pro-business booster who's been a tough critic of federal environment regulations.
When he took office in 2005, Daniels inherited an $800 million deficit and eight previous years of unbalanced budgets. The fear was that Daniels would turn large swaths of state land back to the tax rolls for development. Instead, the new governor was persuaded by state Department of Natural Resources officials to push forward on a project that had been lingering for almost 50 years: The acquisition and restoration of 8,000 acres of critical wetlands, known as Goose Pond in southwest Indiana.
The quick success of Goose Pond in bringing back migratory birds, multiplying the species, and attracting human visitors, so impressed Daniels that he told the DNR staff to work with the Nature Conservancy, Ducks Unlimited and other conservation groups to come up with even bigger, better projects.
Shaping his vision at the time, he said, was a book given to him by DNR parks director Dan Bortner, called "Last Child in the Woods." It chronicles the increasing disconnect between children and nature and links that disconnect to childhood obesity, anxiety and depression.
"Modern life doesn't give kids the opportunities to enjoy the wonders of nature," Daniels said. "(The book) brought that home to me in a forceful way."
Another book with impact: Douglas Brinkley's 1,000-page tome on Roosevelt, called "Wilderness Warrior." In it, Brinkley details how Roosevelt came to believe that America's wilderness belonged to future generations of Americans as well as to the past.
"I think by the time I was done reading it, I was even more intrigued by the value and the satisfaction of protecting nature and being able to hand it on to future generations," Daniels said.
It helped that Daniels could tap into a $21 million pot of money that had been created years ago for conservation efforts. Daniels knew it was money that could be used to leverage many more millions in federal and private dollars.
"We decided we didn't want to spend it in dribs and drabs," Daniels said. "We wanted to spend it on something big."
In the summer of 2010, Daniels announced what that "big" would be: The acquisition, restoration, and preservation of 43,000 acres of land along the Wabash River in western Indiana and another 25,600 acres along the Muscatatuck River in southern Indiana.
Beyond providing large swaths of critical habitat for wildlife and resting places for migratory birds, the projects are also designed to protect communities downstream from flooding and open up more public land for fishing, hiking, hunting, bird-watching and canoeing.
McConnell, of the Nature Conservancy, said the size and scope of the Wabash and Muscatatuk projects are historic. Especially, she said, when coupled other noteworthy efforts, including Daniels' doubling the funds for a trails program that aims to put a hiking trail within 15 minutes of every state resident by 2016.
"This is one of his lasting legacies as governor," McConnell said.
On a wall in Daniels' office in the Statehouse is a portrait of conservationist Richard Leiber, known as the father of the Indiana state parks.
In 1916, unable to wrestle money from the legislature, Leiber used privately donated funds to buy the land to open Indiana's first two state parks. He billed them as a gift to celebrate the state's first centennial.
Leiber is inspiration for Daniels' final conservation project: The Bicentennial Nature Trust, a state-supported effort to expand the public parks, trails, and wildlife refuges all around Indiana, in advance of the state's 200th anniversary in 2016.
"What better thing to do," Daniels said, "than to protect for all future generations a part of your past?"

John Edwards Trial Opens
A few weeks ago, the jury selection opened for the trial against former presidential and vice presidential candidate John Edwards, who was accused of stealing campaign funds to hide and take care of his pregnant mistress. After years of denial, Edwards finally admitted that he was the father of his mistress' child. Edwards has been harshly ridiculed for his affair while his wife was dying of cancer, however, according to a poll 56% of North Carolina voters say a trial is a waste of taxpayer dollars and time. If convicted, Edwards could face up to 30 years in prison and fines of $1.5 million.

Executive Director Tim Lawrence has known SkillsUSA as a student member, instructor, industry partner and state director. Got a question? He can help.
Q: How can I prepare for the changes and downsizing work force in the current economic crisis?
Tim: The work force is suddenly more competitive than ever before. Students will need an extra edge to get (and keep) the best jobs. You'll also need it to get into the best college and postsecondary training programs. Whatever your career path, SkillsUSA's competitive events can help you get that edge.
This is one of the most exciting times of the SkillsUSA year as students prepare for competitions at the local, district and state levels. By now, many of you are halfway through your training program for this year. Your chapter advisor, who has likely been a strong mentor for you, knows the next step in your development will be enhanced by another group of mentors: those who manage and run our contests.
When you go into a technical or leadership development competition, you'll find a network of professionals standing behind you. Through these partners, SkillsUSA provides national standards developed by business and industry in tandem with leadership and character development skills that are so important to the 21st-century work force. And by competing in SkillsUSA events, you can network with some of the finest role models anywhere.
In this issue of SkillsUSA Champions, many of our industry leaders advise how to make yourself competitive in our championships and tell how this preparation can help later in your career. They and other role models, such as Kelly Bever from State Farm Insurance, also explain why they became involved in SkillsUSA.
Working with our national partners over the past several years, I've noticed one thing they all have in common. They've worked hard throughout their lives to become the best at their craft. Now, they're looking to pass on what they've learned to the next generation. They're looking to you to carry on the mantle of leadership and pay it forward as the next wave of mentors.
In the current environment, the best career opportunities will go to those who are prepared with excellent technical, professional and academic skills. SkillsUSA can help you hone all three.
In time, you'll find that life is a continuous competition, and I hope your SkillsUSA experience will help mold and prepare you for the challenges and opportunities you'll face along the way.
Got questions about SkillsUSA or other topics? E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or send a letter to SkillsUSA / P.O. Box 3000 / Leesburg, VA 20177. Put "Ask Tim" in the subject line or mail address.

The Canucks don't want to follow up a lousy loss to Columbus with a lousy loss to the Islanders.
Expect a juicy rebound after the flat loss to the Sharks
Kick some ass again, Canucks. Let's see you string together two consecutive superb efforts.
I hope that playing Chicago, on home ice, is enough to motivate this Canucks team. To me, there really isn't much else that I care about in this one. Play a full 60 minutes. Shore up the D. Get...
A very big possibility that these guys will be the Canucks' first round opponent in the playoffs.
Canucks won't get far in the playoffs with a lousy power play...or will they?
The Canucks have dominated the Avalanche this season, going 3-0 and outscoring them 10-3.
Calgary is 8-2 in their last 10 home games so expect a battle, not an ass-kicking.
The Canucks take their 6-game winning streak into Edmonton to play the Coilers.
Canucks are 1-10 in their last 11 Sunday games. Oh god, not again..

Dolphins fall 11-5 in series finale
Related Links
Jacksonville, Fla. -- Once again plagued by the big inning, the Dolphins (1-2) lost to the Radford Highlanders (2-1) 11-5.
Scott Schaub (Ocala, Fla.) opened the bottom half of the 3rd inning with a single to left and Jake Huxtable (Winter Springs, Fla.) lined a two run HR to left to stake the Dolphins to a 2-1 lead.
That lead was short lived as the Highlanders scored eight runs on five hits and three costly Dolphin errors in the top half of the 4th inning. Radford added two runs in the top half of the 6th inning to close out their scoring.
The Dolphins scored a single run in the bottom of the 8th inning when Braddock Rowe (Jacksonville, Fla.) singled scoring Huxtable from second.
The Dolphins scored twice in the 9th inning highlighted by an RBI triple off the bat of Josh Baker (Sussez, Wisc.) that scored Ethan Loosen (Uniondale, NY). The Dolphins rounded out the scoring when Baker scored on a ground ball by Nathan Koslowski (Jacksonville, Fla.).
Starting pitcher Jeff Tanner (0-1) was tagged with the loss after throwing 3 1/3 innings
. The Dolphins will be back in action on Tuesday as they head to Tallahassee to take on the 11Th ranked Florida State Seminoles. The action can be heard live on 92.5 FM at 4:00 p.m., as Terry Norvelle will be on the call.
