Anna Kournikova's Biggest Loser Blog: Season Finale!
December 15, 2011 at 3:43 pm , by Ladies' Lounge
It's hard to believe this season of The Biggest Loser is over! The finale was such an incredible celebration of everything the contestants accomplished. With all of their friends and family in the audience, the atmosphere was absolutely electric. It was so much fun watching them strut their stuff across the stage. Everyone from my original blue team—Becky, Bonnie, Debbie, Coach Mike and Johnny—looked fantastic! Obviously, they had all been working hard at home. And a big congratulations goes out to John, who won with a 220 pound total weight loss! Even though Ramon wasn't crowned the biggest loser, he and all of the other contestants are still walking away with a prize because they've learned how to live a healthy lifestyle. I am so proud of each and every one of them and it was truly an honor to be a part of their journeys.
Thank you to all of you wonderful Ladies' Home Journal readers who have followed my blogs throughout the season. I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have. Now let's go into 2012 inspired and ready to take on the new year and new challenges!

December 7, 2011 at 10:15 am , by Ladies' Lounge
It's the last episode before the season finale, and the final four contestants left the ranch to continue working on their weight loss at home. John, Antone, Becky and Vinny got to show off all of their hard work to everyone in their hometowns, and it was really touching watching everyone welcome them back. You could really see how much all of the contestants have changed, both inside and out. Hearing Becky say that she was determined to finish what she had started was amazing. She is a true fighter. It was funny to see Antone really put his time management skills to work when he used his kids as weights. And with so many of his health issues under control, Vinny proposed to his girlfriend!
Later, all of the contestants and trainers traveled back to the El Mirage desert for the final challenge of the season—the biggest loser marathon. The winner would get a guaranteed spot at the finale as a finalist! Seeing how far the eliminated players had come while they were on their own was great. I was especially proud of Joe, who has grown so much since that first mile walk. Even though Joe was pulled out of the marathon, he's still a winner for beginning the journey to reclaim his health.
The race for first place between Ramon and Courtney was really close! But in the end, Ramon won the marathon and $25,000 from Walgreens. And just like that, he's back in the competition to become the biggest loser of the season! After a very long day in the desert, I went out to meet my original blue team members, Johnny and Debbie, to finish the marathon with them. Just like in the first challenge, we crossed the finish line together! It's truly incredible how much all of the contestants have accomplished in such a short amount of time. Running a marathon is just the beginning!
At the weigh-in, we got to see how much work the final four contestants did at home. Unfortunately, Becky and Vinny fell below the red line, but either of them could come back and be the winner of the at-home prize. The three finalists competing for the official title of the Biggest Loser will be Ramon, Antone and John. Tune in next week for the live finale to see who wins!

November 30, 2011 at 10:00 am , by Ladies' Lounge
This was the last week on the ranch for the contestants, and it was makeover week, so they would get new looks to complement their new bodies! But that also meant that I got very little time in the gym with Sunny, so we really had to maximize our time together.
We kicked things off with their final challenge where they had to "wear" all of the weight they'd lost so far. The winner would get a one-pound advantage on the scale, and I was really rooting for Sunny because after losing 75 pounds, she was one of the smallest people in the house. She came in third and it was amazing to see how emotional she got during the challenge. I could tell that she's really determined to keep the weight off for a long time. And really, everyone was a winner for this challenge because they each got a year's supply of Progresso soup and $5,000!
Makeover week officially started at the spa, where the contestants got pampered in true Hollywood style—Sunny got a facial done with 24 karat gold! It was fun watching them experience Beverly Hills at its best with celebrity stylist Jeannie Mai and celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves. They even got to walk the red carpet at the Kodak Theater. Seeing everyone with their families was really touching. It was like they were introducing their selves as completely new people.
I had the opportunity to meet Sunny's husband, Blake, and talk to him about the routine he and Sunny will need to start after she leaves the ranch. It was important for her to tell him that she expected him to hold her accountable in the future. I think he'll be a great support system for her—he already signed them up for a mixed doubles tennis league at home!
The last chance workout was the first time this week that I really got to spend time in the gym with Sunny. We did circuits and finished the workout on the tennis court. Sunny got emotional because she realized that after all of her hard work, she'll finally be able to live the active life with her family that she's always wanted.
At the weigh-in, Sunny's goal was to be under the 200 pound mark. It was a big shock when she didn't meet her goal and only lost one pound. She'd come such a long way and was an incredible student. I really had no words to explain such a small weight loss. Unfortunately, Sunny fell below the yellow line and was eliminated, but with her new-found confidence and strength, I have no doubt that Sunny will come back to the marathon and amaze everyone.
Tune in next week to see all 15 contestants return to compete in the marathon!

November 23, 2011 at 11:11 am , by Ladies' Lounge
It was Thanksgiving on the ranch! The blue team kicked off the week with a lot of momentum—at the last weigh-in, neither of my team members fell below the yellow line and Sunny was the biggest loser of the week!
Before we got to work, the contestants were faced with a temptation that most people can relate to—Thanksgiving dinner. The average American eats 4500 calories on Thanksgiving. It's important to learn moderation, so I was glad that Sunny only ate one dish and Ramon limited himself to two. It showed me that they're really embracing their new healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, neither of them won a challenge prize. Both of them would have a three-pound disadvantage at the next weigh-in, so our work was really cut out for us. At this point, both Sunny and Ramon knew how to work hard and eat right, so it was important for me to help them push even more in the gym. We worked out at the tennis court and it was incredible to see how much they have improved. They could actually rally with each other!
Bob, Dolvett and I decided to surprise the contestants by making healthy versions of their favorite holiday dishes for a Thanksgiving dinner. Going around the table and sharing what we were all thankful for was really special. It was nice to forget about the competition for a little bit and just enjoy each other's company.
Judging by the contestants' comments during the challenge, it was the hardest thing they'd faced on the ranch so far. Seeing the looks of sheer determination on Sunny and Ramon's faces made me proud. They both gave everything they had and finished the challenge in second and third place. I was happy that Sunny won the six-month biggest loser meal plan and that Ramon also won $2,500, which I thought he truly deserved for pushing himself so hard in the challenge.
For the last chance workout, I had Sunny and Ramon do all of the exercises they were used to, but added resistance bands for a new challenge. Adding resistance to certain exercises is a great way to shake up a routine workout and take it up a notch!
At the weigh-in, it was great to see how happy Becky was when she lost five pounds. She was a completely different person than the woman I walked with on the first day in the desert. I was nervous about who John would pick for the one-pound disadvantage, and he chose Sunny, which was really devastating because she pushed herself all week. Unfortunately, because of the disadvantage, Sunny fell below the yellow line with Ramon. Ramon got eliminated, but he can go home with his head held high because he accomplished so much at the ranch and I know he will go far on his own. I can't wait to see what he accomplishes at the marathon!

It was a special week on the ranch because we introduced the yellow line at the weigh-in. From this point forward, the contestants would compete as singles, so my focus was on making sure that Sunny and Ramon were above the yellow line.
For the first time ever, the contestants competed in a biggest loser pentathlon. I wanted Sunny or Ramon to win because there was a huge prize at stake—immunity at the next elimination! It was fun watching the contestants compete in all of the activities, and my blue team members were definitely at home on the tennis court for the first challenge. I couldn't believe Becky missed the math question in the nutrition challenge because she's a teacher! I bet she'll never forget that you have to cut out 500 calories a week to lose one pound.
Going into the last chance workout I was really happy because Sunny was in first place in the pentathlon. But at the same time I was nervous because Ramon was in last place. He knew he was going to have to work harder than everyone else to make sure that he wouldn't get the one pound disadvantage at the weigh-in.
Eight-time Olympic medalist Apolo Ohno stopped by the ranch this week to motivate the contestants through the final pentathlon event—a one-mile run. It was incredible to see how far the contestants have come in such a short time. The first week, Ramon could barely walk one mile, and now he was able to run the race in under ten minutes! It was also great when everyone walked with Bonnie to make sure that she crossed the finish line. Despite all of the competition, the number one goal is to make sure that everyone gets healthy.
When the rankings were finalized at the weigh-in, Sunny moved to second place and Ramon was no longer in last place. Sunny lost 9 pounds, which was a great reflection of all of her hard work. Her body was finally accepting her new lifestyle. And Ramon lost more than he needed to be above the yellow line, so the blue team would be safe for another week! Bonnie volunteered to go home, but she has such a supportive family that I have no doubt she will come back for the marathon stronger than ever.

Going into this week, my team was split. We won last week's weigh-in, but Joe and Sunny voted to send Ramone's girlfriend, Jessica, home. I was worried they wouldn't be focused, so we needed to forget about the past and focus on the present task—getting back to work and being a strong team.
On the way to the first workout, Alison stopped Bob, Dolvett and I to tell us the twist for the week. For the first time ever, the trainers would get to choose one player whose weight would count for the entire team at the weigh-in. The decision was ours to make, and the three of us definitely felt the pressure.
During the first workout Sunny wasn't feeling well, but I wanted to make sure she still pushed through to the end. After such a great weigh-in last week, I knew this week wouldn't be easy. I tried to reinforce to her that everyone is allowed to have bad days, but it's what you do with those days that matter most. I kept a close eye on her that day and tried to give her a lot of positive reinforcement.
I got to participate in a fun cooking challenge with my team this week. We had to make a healthy and tasty dish that would be judged by Olivia Ward, the winner of season 11, and Devin Alexander, author of The Biggest Loser Quick and Easy Cookbook. Having Olivia at the challenge really motivated my team because she's proof that the weight loss can be maintained after you leave the ranch. I really wanted us to win so my team could get the one-pound advantage, and as an added bonus, our recipe would be published! The hardest part of the challenge was making the dish before time ran out, and even though we didn't win, this challenge definitely brought the blue team closer. Read more

We kicked off this week just like the first week on the ranch—the contestants competed to pick their new trainers and create new teams. It was pretty clear that a lot of them were a little comfortable with their routines and trainers, so some of them weren't really eager to mix things up.
It was fun watching the contestants compete in the nutrition challenge to decide their new trainers. I couldn't believe some of their eating habits before they came on the ranch. Ramone used to eat 12 tacos in one sitting! Seeing them admit that their old choices weren't necessarily the best options showed me that they really have been listening to our advice about living a healthier life. And by the end of the challenge, I had a new blue team—Sunny, Joe and Ramone.
I knew Ramone was still upset from the weigh-in last week, and I quickly learned that Joe was very dependent on Bob. So before we even hit the gym, I decided to have a team meeting. They needed to understand that even though the trainers are helping them on their journey at the ranch, it's the contestants who are really accomplishing the amazing things, and they need to take responsibility for their own goals and successes. I knew the week was going to be hard for everybody, myself included. But my goal was to push Joe, Sunny and Ramone harder than they had ever been pushed before.
In the first workout, my focus was on making sure that the new blue team came together as a mentally and physically strong unit. I wanted to prove to them that even though we didn't start as a team, I was completely committed to them. Change is never easy, but it's bound to happen, and the gym is an amazing place to work through the frustration of uncertainty. Read more

Fashion's Latest Emissary From The Fountain of Youth-------
Style.com contributing editor and party reporter Darrell Hartman circles the city and, occasionally, the globe in the line of duty. In a regular column, he reports on the topics—whatever they may be at whatever given moment—that are stirring the social set.
"Yes, the lad was premature," goes a line from The Picture of Dorian Gray. "He was gathering his harvest while it was yet spring."
I doubt I'm the first person who has, upon meeting Dorian Grinspan, thought of Oscar Wilde's fable about precious youth. This Dorian is real. The 20-year-old founder and editor Out of Order magazine, he's been sowing his seeds early—and some of the fashion world's biggest influencers are taking notice.
Grinspan was born in Paris and came to the U.S. to study at Yale. But while an earlier generation might've chosen to wait for a diploma before launching into the world, Grinspan didn't see the point. "I didn't come [to the U.S.] wanting to do a magazine. I arrived at Yale and I was really, really bored," he told Women's Wear Daily. [Full disclosure: this reporter spent four years at Yale, and did not find it boring.] Grinspan will start his senior year in the Fall, majoring in American Studies, but he recently took an apartment in New York, and says that thanks to some Franco-esque schedule jiggering will be spending just three days a week in New Haven.
Youth these days! Grinspan is already a darling of the industry. WWD is only one of several publications to anoint him an up-and-comer, and his biannual is already carried by the likes of Opening Ceremony and Colette, and the second issue, which Grinspan launched last week, boasts the sort of top-shelf contributors of which many start-up outlets dream. Among the photo credits and profile subjects are Larry Clark, Ryan McGinley, and Olivier Theyskens. These are gets worth bragging about, even if Grinspan is modest, or at least PR-savvy, enough not to. "It's actually funny to see how accessible these people are and how much they want to help," he told me at last week's launch party at Fivestory, an uptown boutique. (His fashion-model looks—literally, as in repped by DNA—aren't the reason, but surely they can't hurt.) Gus Van Sant, he added, had been "really interested, and we almost shot something," but the scheduling hadn't worked out.
Grinspan has plenty more influential supporters, including fellow editors. "Stephen Gan has been amazing to me," he said. And after meeting Stefano Tonchi at a party in Cannes last year, Grinspan appeared in W this spring. Starting in the fall, he said, he'll be writing for the magazine's website. Quick work. For a moment, Grinspan did pay some dues—as an intern for Carine Roitfeld. Among the people met while working there was photographer Michael Avedon, who shot a story for the new issue. (Avedon is just a year older than Grinspan, and the great-grandson of Richard.)
Grinspan holds himself well—and tends to do so in the right company. Cynthia Rowley, who hosted an after-party of sorts for the magazine at her boutique-cum-sweet-shop, Curious, couldn't exactly remember how she'd first met him. She was pretty sure his boyfriend had interned at her husband's gallery. In any case, Rowley said, she'd gotten to know him through "the Brant kids."
How has Grinspan done it, in an industry with fewer and fewer footholds for young talent? "I don't think there's a secret. I feel like everything is so circumstantial," he explained. When pressed, he added, "Both my mom and my dad have a lot of connections in fashion, I guess." His mother, a graphic designer, got him interested in clothes and style early on. His father, a lawyer, worked "for a long time" with BCBG. And there's his godmother, Numéro editor–in-chief Babette Djian. "She's been great," Grinspan admits. "We go to fashion shows together if we both have an invite. But I would never call her up and say, 'Please take me to Jean Paul Gaultier!' That's not what I want our relationship to be."
If things keep going the way they're going, the occasional missing invite won't be an issue. And why shouldn't they? Grinspan has a way about him, evident in the manner in which he politely escorted Clark up the stairs at Rowley's party and posed with him for photos. Clark, like Rowley, couldn't recall how he and Grinspan had first started talking, but he did remember meeting Grinspan face to face. "He's very enthusiastic, but not overbearing at all—just a nice young man," he said. And one more likely to make a splash than all the others.

Heart healthy and so flavorful that we've served it to friends w/a fab salad and some garlic bread. Thx Nigella!

The husband and I thought it was quite tasty, even though I forgot the olive oil! Olive oil would have made it smoother after I put the cheese in. However, I will be making again!

Apricot Gelatin Mold Recipe
My mother always made this for celebrations. When my husband and I were dating, he fell in love with this dish. Once we got married, he asked me to get the recipe from her. You can substitute peach or orange gelatin for a fresh summer treat. —Suzanne Holcomb, St. Johnsville, New York
- 1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) apricot or peach gelatin
- 1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
- 3/4 cup grated carrots
- 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
- Drain pineapple, reserving juice in a 2-cup measuring cup; add enough water to measure 2 cups. Set pineapple aside. Pour juice mixture into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Dissolve gelatin in juice mixture. Cool for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add gelatin mixture, beating until smooth. Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Fold in pineapple and carrots, then whipped topping. Transfer to an 8-cup ring mold coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate until set. Unmold onto a serving platter. Yield: 12 servings (1/2 cup each).

Madison - A second half run cannot be made without first winning a game. The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters took care of that Saturday night with a 7-2 win over the Madison Mallards at Warner Park.
A single run in the top of the first gave new Rafters starter Augey Bill a lead to work with. Bill took that lead and posted three straight scoreless innings before allowing a pair of unearned runs in the fourth. The 6-foot-8 lefty allowed just three hits to Madison over five full innings to secure his first win in the Northwoods League.
By the time the Mallards scored their pair in the fourth, the Rafters had tacked on three of their own in the top half of the inning. A walk and a single put two on for Bill Charvat with no outs. Charvat dropped down a sac bunt, and when the throw to first sailed wide, one run scored. Bart Steponovich then doubled to plate another run and give the Rafters a 3-0 cushion. After a ground out, Garrett Nash lifted a fly ball to center, deep enough to score a fourth run and put the Rafters up 4-0.
The Rafters scored an insurance run in the fifth, scoring a one on a Curtis Frisbie sac fly. In the seventh, one of four Madison errors in the game opened the door for the Rafters to score twice. Cody Koback singled home a run, then scored on an RBI double off the bat of Sam Montgomery. Koback ended the night with two hits, a run and an RBI while Brandon Hohl notched a pair of hits, scored a run and drove in one.
After the stellar five innings from Bill, reliever Kevin Wild faced the minimum over the sixth, seventh and eighth. The right-hander hit a batter, but his catcher Steponovich gunned the runner out trying to swipe second. Wild set down the next seven, striking out three on the night. Joie Dunyon came on to finish the game in the ninth, allowed a hit, but induced a line out double play and capped the Rafters win with a strike-out.

Losing Karlos
That last number is what made his departure a fait accompli. The Cardinals could not justify paying him that kind of money when they have other contracts looming.
But Karlos is going to be hard to replace. He is an excellent tackler, plays well in space, has excellent ball skills, is a leader and, most of all, a great guy.
I'm happy he got paid but sad to see him go. "Los Dirty" is one of my favorite Cardinals of all time but, having said that, I would not have gambled to the degree the Browns did.
Karlos is going to be 33 next season. At some point in time, age and mileage matter.
In the end: Karlos did what he needed to do and the Cardinals did what they needed to do. Welcome to free agency in the Year of Our Lord 2014.
Godspeed, Los Dirty.

Funding opportunities
Discovery and validation of biomarkers to myeloid leukemia cancer stem cells by the generation of monoclonal antibodies
Funding Type:
Tools and Technologies I
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$972 000
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
The aim of this proposal is to identify new biomarkers by the generation of specific monoclonal antibodies specific to the Chronic Myeloid Leukemia – Blast Crisis (CML-BC) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Cancer Stem Cells (CSC). Cancer stem cells arise from normal stem and progenitor cells though a number of gene mutations. The CSC is a small population of cells within the tumor that drives its growth. Most cells in the tumor are derived from the cancer stem cell, however they do not have growth potential. The CSC are also responsible for the recurrence of the disease following treatment. Since these cells are very resistant to current chemotherapies, treatment will only be successful if the CSC is targeted and eliminated. By defining the characteristic cell surface markers on these cells, scientists will be able to isolate them and study their properties. Discovery of novel biomarkers will not only be useful to study cancer stem cell biology, but may also be useful clinically as a diagnostic for diagnosis or as a prognostic indicator. Identification of cell surface targets in CSC may also lead to the development of new, highly specific targets for therapy.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Myeloid leukemias are devastating diseases especially in the elderly who can not tolerate intensive chemotherapeutic treatments. The aim of this research proposal is to discover and validate new biomarkers through the generation of monoclonal antibodies specific to the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cancer stem cells (CSC) which are not present on the normal hematopoietic stem cell (HSC). Known cell surface characteristics of these myeloid CSC are similar to normal stem and progenitor cells. Specific markers to the CSC that distinguish them from the normal HSC have not yet been identified. Discovery of novel biomarkers will not only be useful to study cancer stem cell biology, but may also be useful clinically as a diagnostic for confirmatory diagnosis or as a prognostic indicator. Identification of cell surface targets or active gene pathways in CSC but not normal HSC may lead to the development of new, highly specific targets for therapy. Approximately 3000 cases of myeloid leukemia will be diagnosed in the state of California in 2008 according to National Cancer Institute estimates. With current therapies, the 5 year survival rate for acute myeloid leukemia is 21%. Improved cancer diagnosis and treatment would directly benefit the people of California.
Review Summary:
This proposal focuses on the identification and validation of new biomarkers for detecting cancer stem cells and investigating their underlying biology. To achieve these ends, the Principal Investigator (PI) proposes to generate monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) by an immunization strategy and screen for those that are reactive with human leukemia cancer stem cells (CSCs), but not with normal hematopoietic stem cells. In the second aim, the selected antibodies of interest will be evaluated by multiparameter FACs analysis, and the corresponding antigen targets will be identified and characterized. Finally, the PI will perform in vivo, serial transplantation experiments to validate the use of the Mab candidates for selectively recognizing cells that form tumors. The reviewers were enthusiastic about the technology in this proposal but questioned its overall feasibility. While extremely well written and designed, certain technical deficiencies were noted in the research plan that lowered their enthusiasm. Finally, while PI was found to be exceptionally capable, the reviewers questioned whether the overall level of commitment, as well as a key lack of expertise, might hinder the pace of the investigation. The reviewers noted that this proposal addresses an important deficiency in cancer cell biology - a lack of biomarkers for defining the tumor initiating cancer stem cell. If successfully realized, the proposed tools could lay the groundwork for improved diagnostics and more importantly, provide potential new therapies for cancer. Such tools would also prove useful for advancing the mechanistic understanding of leukemia. While uncertain of the extent to which the theoretical potential would be realized, the reviewers believed that at least some useful reagents could emerge from this effort. The reviewers noted several strengths of the proposal. It was well written, the rationale and milestones were clearly defined, and there was excellent discussion of the potential difficulties and alternative strategies that would be employed. The preliminary data were compelling. Nevertheless, the reviewers noted several weaknesses. They expressed concern that the project was under resourced in terms of staff commitment. As the research plan was considered to be straightforward and obvious, some worried that the PI and his/her team would be outdistanced by competitors in this active area of investigation. In addition, they commented that the PI's lack of experience with protein biochemistry could negatively impact efforts at antigen identification. Beyond these general concerns, the reviewers noted specific weaknesses that could affect the overall feasibility of this proposal. One commented that the in vivo model could introduce noise to the screen for CSC by selecting any cells with in vivo growth advantages rather than true cancer stem cells. Finally, the reviewers commented on the unrealistic expectation by the PI that Mabs would be identified to markers unique to cancer stem cells. Most therapeutic antibodies target markers that are not specific to cancer cell subtypes but rather are generally overexpressed markers also present on normal cells. By the criteria proposed in this study, such markers would be missed. The reviewers described the PI as highly qualified and appropriate for the work described in this proposal. The PI has world class expertise in flow cytometry and appears to have the necessary training and experience to oversee the transplantation assays. However, the reviewers expressed concern at an insufficient level of commitment that the PI and his/her team propose to dedicate to this effort in what is a very competitive field. The proposed budget was judged to be appropriate. In summary, while the proposed technology addresses an important area of cancer cell research, the applicants did not convince the reviewers of its overall feasibility.

Drunken burglar caught in Padiham home
1:35pm Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
A DRUNKEN man who raided a couple's Padiham home at night and was confronted by the victim, has been given a suspended jail sentence.
Ryan Williams, 24, had climbed into the Victoria Road property through a conservatory window at 1.30am and when the householder, who he had awoken, found him he said: "You owe me some money."
The victim then took hold of the defendant, who told him menacingly: "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Burnley Crown Court heard how Williams was arrested after his fingerprints were found, but claimed he had just been taking shelter.
The hearing was told the defendant, a qualified electrician, had lost his job through drink and then became a burglar, which was "very much out of character."
Williams, of Lowerhouse Lane, Burnley, had admitted burglary, last August.
Recorder Philip Curran, who gave him a suspended jail term, told him: "You would have no complaint whatsoever if I was to send you to custody immediately."
The defendant received 15 months in prison, suspended for two years, with two years' supervision and 200 hours unpaid work.

Softball Falls on Senior Day, Game 2 Postponed to Sunday
Related Links
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville University softball fell 4-3 to ETSU on Saturday, April 19 in the series-opener. The game was called in the bottom of the seventh inning due to weather. The second game of the scheduled double-header was postponed to Sunday. Tomorrow is slated to start at 12 p.m. with the second game to follow.
It was also senior day as Meagan Balding, Codi Kelly, Miranda Fleming and Karson Tuck were celebrated before the first pitch.
Jacksonville falls to 16-28 overall and 6-15 in the Atlantic Sun while ETSU improves to 18-26 and 6-13, respectively.
ETSU scored one run in the top of the third inning to open the contest. Jackie Baird hit an RBI single to right field to score Kelsey Chernak from third base. Chernak initially singled to left center and advanced to second base on Katie Wolff's single to right.
JU tied the game 1-1 an inning later in the bottom of the fourth frame on Ashley Simon's RBI single to center field. Pinch runner Jackie DiPiazza scored from second base. Tuck initially singled up the middle and stole second base on a wild pitch.
ETSU led once more in the top of the fifth inning when Baird hit a three-run home run to right field to score Nicole Fox and Wolff. But again it wasn't long as the Fins responded in the bottom of the inning for a 4-3 deficit when Emily Sanchez hit a two-run homer to deep left field that scored Victoria Brown. Brown reached base on a walk.
On the mound, Taylor Rossman (3-10) took the loss. The sophomore struck out seven and allowed four runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks. Freshman Jessi Walker entered the mound for relief in the top of the sixth inning, allowing one hit and recording two strikeouts.
ETSU's Wolff (5-11) allowed three runs (three earned) on five hits and four walks in the win. Wolff tossed 4.2 innings before Whitney Leon pitched 1.2 innings of relief.
Next, Jacksonville is slated to finish the series on Sunday with the first of two to start at 12 p.m.

The photographs in this book were taken in three places in north India--the state of Gujarat and the cities of Varanasi and Mussoorie--during the spring of 2008. I was traveling with my daughter, Susie. I was seventy and she forty, in a once in a lifetime 70/40 trip together.
I took a great number of photographs of many kinds, but these are all closeup, eye to eye, portraits. They are what happens when an elderly, rotund American man is touched in the gut or the groin, not a cerebral process, by people who dazzle him. In bad Hindi I nudged those that touched me into places where the background and light were right and then did my dance to elicit a response. Then I took many shots, depending upon luck for the photograph that touched me most.
And what were these strangers thinking? If in villages where I was with Indian development workers whom they trusted, they didn't mind having their photographs taken. In the cities these total strangers were used to photography although rarely had been photographed themselves. But it was always an odd encounter. When I promised a copy, which I always delivered, they were glad to have photographs they could put on a wall or in the cellophane leaved books which every Indian family has.
These photographs are the record of our brief dance together, eye to eye, in which I shared my passion and they shared the force of their special presence and we had a brief bantering good time.

Re: Red Power Round Up.
The whole family will be there. This is our annual vacation. 445 miles for me and will love every minute of it. Anyone planning a stop to Lambert's Cafe either on the way or the way home? We gotta stop there while so close.

You must like Lambert's considering how far out of the way that will take you. It is about 75 miles further south than you need to go to get to RPRU.

Re: Red Power Round Up.
Well John, we love Lambert's. We don't get there very often. I think the last time was 2008. My son loves the train around the ceiling and when they throw the rolls. I think my other two will have a great laugh at that too.
It will be a 2 hour detour on the way home, but this is the family vacation for us. We will likely spend some time in St. Louis too going to the zoo and some other activities for the kids.

RIP Christopher Hitchens: Abortion Survivor, Post-Abortive Father, Cognitive Pro-Lifer
Renowned liberal author and journalist Christopher Hitchens died December 15 at the age of 62 following a short battle against esophageal cancer, since summer 2010.
One might assume Hitchens was pro-abortion, since he was also an avowed atheist. But he was not, in small or large part due to his history with abortion, as he explained in a 2003 Vanity Fair column:
I was in my early teens when my mother told me that a predecessor fetus and a successor fetus had been surgically removed, thus making me an older brother rather than a forgotten whoosh….
And I've since become the father of several fetuses, three of which, or perhaps I had better say three of whom, became reasonably delightful children. There was a time, it seemed, when I couldn't sneeze on a woman without becoming a potential father….
[A]t least once I found myself in a clinic while "products of conception" were efficiently vacuumed away. I can distinctly remember thinking, on the last such occasion, that under no persuasion of any kind would I ever allow myself to be present at such a moment again.
The lucky abortion survivor must at times have asked, "Why me?" and other times, "Why not me?" And Hitchens clearly felt bad about killing his two of his own children.
These experiences gave him pause to reconsider the gravity of abortion, writing:
In the brisk paragraphs above, you will note that I have semiconsciously employed the terms "birthplace," "grave," and "conceivable." This idiom of this argument is basic and elemental. It's about the essentials. Thus, the justification proposed by the "right" for its intrusiveness is that the fetus is also an autonomous individual, and that society cannot decently permit one body (or soul) to be owned or disposed of by another….
There was a time when the feminist movement replied to this with militant indignation. What "individual"? What "person"? The most famous title of the period – "Our Bodies, Ourselves" – captures the tone to perfection. If we need to remove an appendix or a tumor from our own personal spaces, then it's nobody else's g**d*** business. I used to cringe when I heard this, not so much because in the moral sense fetuses aren't to be compared to appendixes, let alone tumors, but because it is obvious nonsense from the biological and embryological points of view. Babies come from where they come from.
The diagram of a vacuum-suction abortion in "Our Bodies, Ourselves" gave the female anatomy in some detail but showed only a void inside the uterus. This perhaps unintended concession to queasiness has since become more noticeable as a consequence of advances in embryology, and by the simple experience of the enhanced sonogram. Women who have gazed at the early heartbeat inside themselves now have some difficulty, shall we say, in ranking the experience with the planned excision of a polyp….
That the most partially formed human embryo is both human and alive has now been confirmed, in an especially vivid sense, by the new debate over stem-cell research and the bioethics of cloning. If an ailing or elderly person can be granted a new lease on life by a transfusion of this cellular material, then it is obviously not random organic matter. The original embryonic "blastocyst" may be a clump of 64 to 200 cells that is only five days old. But all of us began our important careers in that form, and every needful encoding for life is already present in the apparently inchoate. We are the first generation to have to confront this as a certain knowledge.
As an atheist who put his entire stock in science, and who tried to be honest about it, Hitchens acknowledged the "biological and embryological points of view" that the product of sperm-meets-egg is human. But his countering belief that there is no truth caused Hitchens to lapse into moral relativism. From Newsweek, 2008:
At the same time, [Hitchens] adds, "I don't think a woman should be forced to choose, or even can be." Hitchens does not recommend the overturning of Roe v. Wade. What he wants is for both moral callousness and religion to be excised from the abortion debate and for science to come up with solutions to unwanted pregnancies, like the abortifacient mifepristone (RU-486), "that will make abortion more like a contraceptive procedure than a surgical one. That's the Hitchens plank, and I think it's a defensible one."
No, it's not. It's illogical, which Hitchens would not want to hear.
I wonder if Hitchens got to meet his siblings or his children.

Hope there is no Heaven, because that's where Hitch would go, and he'd come back looking for payback for the inane, pious people like you who tried scoring on his corpse....

That's disappointing.
Submitted by Darks Shadow Show on Sat, 12/17/2011 - 2:06pm.
So he conceded the fact that science has proven that babies developing in the womb are human from the beginning, due to the genetic make-up, and that the heartbeat can be heard quite early and that even fetuses who are still developing are indeed alive and human. This would mean that abortion is wrong. That it is murder. But instead of realizing that, he thinks abortion should still be legal and that ABORTIFACIENT contraceptives are somehow different?
I do hope he recognized his wrong and realized the truth of God and repented before he died.

Submitted by drsamherman on Sat, 12/17/2011 - 2:29pm.
The available biographies of Hitchens online mention that Peter and Christopher were both Trotskyites, but a falling-out led to a personal rift between them that lasted for years. It was only recently that they had reconciled. I can't help but think that the other Hitchens who were not aborted and the diversity of opinion among them might have made them a sort of late 20th/early 21st century version of the Mitford girls.

Hitchens' position on matters of abortion....
Submitted by stage9 on Sun, 12/18/2011 - 2:42am.
proves my point that I made yesterday...and that is that he lied to himself and his audiences every day....in that he proposed a position for a world without moral absolutes but then defended the need to value life in the womb.
He may or may not have been wrong on either point, but to hold to atheism while defending such a position is contradictory in the strictest sense.
Does atheism provide grounds for morality? FIND OUT:

---- — PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton Community College men's basketball team stayed with a tough, physical Jefferson Community College for most of the game, but fell 80-72 in men's college basketball.
Derrick Williams scored a game-high 27 points to lead the way for the Cannoneers. Samuel Durodola added 17 points, while Andrew McNitt tossed in 16.
"We just had very little energy on the defensive end," Cougars coach Kevin Daugherty said. "It was our home opener and we didn't come to play.
"They constantly got in the lane with the ball with very little resistance from us. We gave them second and third chances."
Despite the lapses in defense, Clinton found itself trailing by just one with two minutes to go, but couldn't get any closer.
Kyree Hull had another superb game for the Cougars with 25 points and six rebounds. Mykell Krecko chipped in with 17 points and six blocks, but fouled out for the second straight game. Kyle LaPoint added 10 points, while Jamie Davison finished with seven assists and three steals.
"We are a very young team, but we're talented," Daugherty said. "We can trade baskets with anyone. I see the promise.
"It's a long season; 27 more games to come."
The Cougars host Paul Smith's at 7 p.m. Thursday.

"We got out to a great start and we finished a lot better (Tuesday) than in our first game," Dixon said. "We executed and we played really well defensively.
"Defense leads to offense and we were able to convert."
Katrina Garrand added eight points, eight assists and five steals for Clinton. Ruth Paul finished with eight points.
Jessica Klaus scored 17 points to pace Word of Life, all coming in the first half. Holly Hempill chipped in with nine points.
"Overall it was a good game," Dixon said. "Our goal is to improve every game and we did from our first game.

I'm writing to encourage voters to vote "No" on Amendment 49 to the Illinois Constitution on Nov. 6.
We won't even see the actual proposal on Election Day, because it's so long and complex.
Instead, we'll see a briefer "explanation" that tells us we're being asked to make it harder to raise state pension benefits. What's not mentioned is that we're also being asked to open the door to reducing pension benefits for public employees.
The amendment's final section could let state and local governments, school boards, etc., break the Constitution's long-established protection of pensions.
Public employees faithfully contribute to pension funds, being promised that the state will do the same. The legislature has consistently undermined that promise, even robbing the pension system at times for other purposes.
Now that their irresponsibility has created chaos, they're scrambling to find ways to strip workers' retirement benefits — exactly what the Illinois Constitution was designed to prohibit.
Read the Secretary of State's pamphlet on the proposed amendment, and you'll see how confusing its language is; that's already led to one suit to throw the proposal off the ballot.
Getting the amendment on the ballot is estimated to have cost $70 million, an expense Illinois can ill afford.
Fixing it in the future would likely require another expensive amendment process. Help avoid this — vote "No."

Braithwaite, La - It's been six months since Hurricane Isaac tore through Southeast Louisiana. Braithwaite was one of the areas hardest hit and residents there say not much has changed since August.
Angela Serpas still finds it hard to walk through her gutted Braithwaite Park home. "This was always be home for us, always," the mother of two said.
The house took on 15 feet of water during Isaac. The family lost pretty much everything.
On Saturday, the family cut grass outside the home that they made so many memories in. Serpas recalls, "Every day the kids would come home from school and they were never afraid to go outside and play. They rode their 4 wheelers."
The Serpas' own the house, but say they don't feel comfortable moving back in without the protection of a levee. "There's no levee back there. I mean, I lost everything in Katrina, lost everything in Isaac. You can't stay here with no protection and its only 18 miles. If they would give us the levee, or have an indication that we're going to get a levee, everyone would come back here but you can't risk, taking that away again. Losing all your possessions twice, no way," Serpas explained.
Serpas says that's how most of her neighbors feel too. Just three weeks after Isaac, Braithwaite Park was alive with activity...crews worked to clean up debris and homeowners salvaged what they could from their properties. But today, there's no activity at all.
Other areas of Braithwaite look the same...empty homes, and destroyed properties. "It is a ghost town. It's scary. You should come here at night, its dark, no street lights. There's nothing," Serpas said.
But despite how the area looks now, 16-year-old Lonny Serpas wants people to know how vibrant this community was before the storm. He made a sign, saying, 'I love Braithwaite' for all to see. "I made it because everybody that was passing through here that didn't know what Braithwaite was all about, to show what the place meant to everybody."
To the Serpas family, Braithwaite is home. A home they may not be able to return to for a while, but the place that will always remain in their hearts.
While some people have moved back to Braithwaite, a majority of residents remain in other parishes, while they decide what to do with their homes.

Milledge has surgery on injured finger
Nationals outfielder to miss six to eight weeks
SAN FRANCISCO -- Nationals outfielder Lastings Milledge, who suffered a broken ring finger Monday while attempting to bunt in a game for the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs, had surgery Tuesday.
According to manager Manny Acta, the surgery went well and Milledge will be out six to eight weeks. Acta said Milledge had a screw and a pin inserted in his ring finger and will be able to begin baseball activities in about six weeks.
"He's a young guy and this is one of those things that you can't control. This is just one of those things that happens," Acta said. "We're are still very high on him and he's going to be back up here."
Milledge, who began the season as the Nationals' starting center fielder and leadoff hitter, was demoted after just seven games and was hitting .256 with no homers and four RBIs in 21 games with the Chiefs.
"He's going to do well. He was up here for seven games and then he went down to the Minors to work on his timing at the plate," Acta said. "Now this happens. At the end, I believe he's going to be a big part of this franchise."

Taffe has coached countless NCAA All-Americans and conference champions at Springfield College. In 1991 and 1994, he received the Charles E. Silvia Award as the New England Men's Coach of the Year, and was named the New England Women's Coach of the Year in 1994 and 1998. He also received NEWMAC Women's Coach of the Year recognition for four straight years from 2001 to 2005 and was once again honored in 2008 and 2010.
Taffe served as the head coach for the Netherlands-Antilles squad at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, coaching SC All-American Howard Hinds, a 2000 graduate.
Prior to joining the Springfield College staff in 1989, Taffe served as the men's and women's coach at Mount Union College in Ohio for one season and head women's coach at East Carolina University for two seasons.
A native of Haverhill, Mass., Taffe attended the University of Rhode Island, where he was a five-time New England swimming champion as well as a two-time All-New England water polo selection for the Rams.
Taffe received his bachelor's degree in physical education from URI in 1985 and his master's degree in education from East Carolina in 1988. Taffe graduated from Haverhill High School in 1980 and was a member of the 1978 squad that captured the state swimming crown.
Head Diving Coach Peter Avdoulos
Peter Avdoulos is regarded as one of the top diving coaches in the nation. The 1985 Springfield College graduate is in his 29th season as the diving coach for both the men's and women's programs at his alma mater.
Avdoulos was a standout diver as an undergraduate and received the Charles Batterman Award as the top New England performer over a four-year period.
Avdoulos has coached numerous All-New England and All-American divers, including eight-time All-American Lindsay Moore, the Division III Women's Diver of the Year in 2002, who won a national championship on the one-meter board and finished second on the three-meter board at the 2002 NCAA Division III Championships. In 2003, senior Alison Mellage earned her seventh and eighth career All-America honors, finishing fourth in the one-meter dive and fifth on the three-meter board. The 2001 national champion on the three-meter board, Mellage was also named the NEWMAC Diver of the Year in 2003 after sweeping both diving events at the conference meet.
On the men's side, Avdoulos coached four-time All-American Mike Shaw, the first SC male diver to win a national title. In 2005, Shaw won the national championship in both events and was named the NCAA Division III National Diver of the Year.
During the 2011 season, Springfield was the only school in the nation to bring three divers to the NCAA Championships, with Courtney Keefe and Jen Thompson earning All-America honors.
Avdoulos has been the NCAA Division III Women's Diving Coach of the Year four times, and in 2005, Avdoulos was named the NCAA Division III Men's Diving Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year, an honor he also received in 2003. He has been selected as the New England Diving Coach of the Year eight times since 1991, and was named both the NEWMAC Men's and Women's Diving Coach of the Year for the 2002-2003 season and the 2012 and 2013 campaigns. He was previously named the Men's Coach of the Year in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.

A Cincinnati woman appeared in the Lebanon
Municipal Court on Tuesday after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers arrested her
for attempting to convey illegal drugs onto the grounds of the Lebanon
Correctional Institution.
Troopers charged Sarah D. Davidson, 45, with attempting to convey
illegal drugs onto the grounds of a correctional facility, a third-degree
felony, possession of criminal tools, a fifth-degree felony and possession of
marijuana, a minor misdemeanor.
Troopers along with Department of Rehabilitation and
Corrections investigators obtained information that Davidson planned to convey

Now that summer is gone, many of us are eating fewer salads, but that does not have to mean fewer greens.
Cooking greens — such as kale, Swiss chard, even cabbages and brussels sprout — are more cold-resistant than salad greens, so they are actually in season now. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's 2005 Dietary Guidelines recommend that at least 3 cups of your total vegetable choices per week should be dark, leafy greens. Eating these will add some variety to the green component on your menu.
Also known as cruciferous vegetables, these greens are usually full of vitamins A and C and contain antioxidants, which may help to reduce the risk of certain cancers. As with most vegetables, they are very low in calories and are part of a heart-healthy diet.
Dark, leafy greens are also easy to prepare and can taste really delicious. Most people are pretty familiar with cabbage recipes like coleslaw and boiled dinner. For a healthier twist on your cabbage favorites, try vinaigrette coleslaw or make and bake your own egg rolls. You can find egg-roll wrappers at most grocery stores with instructions on the package for how to wrap them. I use lightly steamed (in the microwave) shredded cabbage seasoned with garlic, black pepper and a little ginger to fill the wrapper. Then I bake them on a prepared baking sheet until crispy. Vinaigrette coleslaw is delicious with or on top of a pulled pork sandwich. Brussels sprout, which look like mini cabbages, have a stronger taste than cabbage but taste great roasted. Admittedly, the first time I enjoyed brussels sprout, I roasted them with a slice or two of bacon, but now I love them in olive oil with a dash of pepper and Parmesan cheese.
Chard and kale are great and grow locally, but I do not think they are as widely familiar here as cabbage. Swiss or rainbow chard can be substituted in any recipe that you would cook spinach in, and rainbow chard has beautiful pink and yellow stalks. Lightly sautéed Swiss chard with garlic is great with whole-wheat pasta, chick peas and balsamic dressing for a nutritious and fiber-filled pasta salad. I recently saw an article that recommends steaming the thick ends of the stalk and enjoying it like asparagus.
