Lewis: Nothing like this special rivalry
With VIDEO report
It is nights like this, winter nights when the air is cold and the frustrations of the weather have just about beaten us down, that we will miss the most. Yes, there will be games against other schools on other nights, many with much more at stake, but it won't be the same.
It won't be Syracuse, and that's a shame.
The long, and at moments, brilliant series between UConn and the Orange of upstate New York is now officially over, maybe to never resume. The rivalry is just one casualty of the breakup of the Big East, with schools searching far and wide for more football dollars. But to fans in our state, it is the most crushing.
The value of this pairing was demonstrated once again over two electric hours at the XL Center on Wednesday night, with the Huskies earning — yes, "earning" — a delicious 66-58 upset of No. 6-ranked Syracuse. UConn has defeated the Orange on grander stages with championship trophies on the line, but given the absolutely unique circumstances of this night's game, few of those could match it in terms of pure emotion.
With the Huskies playing what amounts to an outlaw season, with no chance at any postseason play next month, everything had been channeled into this game in terms of marketing (special ticket deals), tradition and hype.
ESPN even dispatched Brent Musburger to handle the play-by-play duties. (Brent was wearing jeans, maybe in case Gov. Malloy needed to send him out to I-84 with a shovel to help out.) And if not for an illness, Hall of Famer Bob Knight would have also been in the building.
This was big from every angle — bigger, certainly, for the Huskies — and despite there being some 3,000 empty seats (a disgrace), the intensity of the evening didn't disappoint.
Neither did the Huskies.
"I think this is one of the purest teams playing basketball right now," said Huskies coach Kevin Ollie. "It is the purest team because we're not playing for any postseason. We're playing for the love of UConn. We're playing for the love of each other. They can't ban us from that.
"They can ban us from the postseason, they can ban us
See RIVALRY, Page 6C
from the Big East Tournament, but they can't ban us from getting better and loving each other."
Nor can any suits in league or NCAA offices keep the fans who turned out from loving the intense drive these players have shown. Despite playing with no discernible size, despite committing 18 turnovers, despite allowing the Orange to get 11 steals, despite a subpar scoring night from Shabazz Napier (just 10 points and only six shots), the Huskies were clearly the superior team Wednesday night.
They handled Syracuse, a team thought to be a Final Four contender in some circles, with style and flash (unlikely alley-oops to Niels Giffey and Ryan Boatright), giving fans in the building and those at home something to cheer about after another trying storm-related week.
Yes, wins over Michigan State and Notre Dame earlier this season were commendable. But those teams aren't Syracuse and carry little of the rivalry tradition that the Orange do whenever they meet the Huskies.
This was a milestone win. This was, in its own way, special and memorable.
"It was definitely a big game," said UConn freshman Omar Calhoun, who wasn't born when the Huskies beat Syracuse to win their first Big East Tournament in 1990. "I know the tradition and the rivalry between these two teams. They get to leave with a taste of UConn in their mouth going to the ACC."
Calhoun certainly doesn't lack for confidence, and it was his three consecutive 3-point field goals in the second half that tipped this game in Connecticut's direction.
For a spell late in the game, it was thought that the enthusiastic students would try to skip past XL Center security in a storm-the-court battalion. That never happened, but it surely didn't mean the crowd was any less appreciative of the effort. Nor did the meaning of this win escape anyone, either here or there.
Two schools that played 70 times as Big East rivals, complete with multiple future NBA players and a pair of Hall of Fame coaches, may never meet again. So for the Huskies to end it all with a signature victory, well, major props to these players and their coach.
It was a special night.
"Connecticut and Syracuse have had so many great games over the years, I think it's just one of those things that goes away," said Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, who marked his last trip to Hartford by calling a ESPN reporter an "idiot" during his remarks. "That's just the way it is."
Yes, and that's a real shame.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with breastfeeding. Nothing at all. Taking a selfie while your baby gets a suckle of your zipple and then posting it to Instagram…that I have a problem with. Thoughts?
I don't see anything wrong with this. And I don't understand why people have to make it into something perverse.
I love seeing it….cannot wait til my baby is here any day now and encourages me to take breast feeding one day at a time. It is a hard task to do and I am soo proud when I see females doing it!
Down in front! We can't see!
AJ, I completely agree! We really need to de-sexualize breastfeeding. It's amazing that women have to feel ashamed to feed their children properly. Just my two cents…
Its great that she does it, but she doesnt need to put a picture for everyone to see.
i have plenty of these on my fb normalize BREASTFEEDING!!!!
so wtf?!? people put pics of their babies eating from bottles…whats wrong with this? also, i'd like to add, there is more skin showing on the ads on this site, than this mama is showing…
breast feeding is great, more power to her but to post it is just plain wrong. She looks lie a child herself
i wish my boobies were that peaky
2 breastfeed kids later they drag on the floor
like not lie
It's a beautiful natural thing. But there's a baby in the way.
I don't see an issue with this at all, she is just nourishing her baby. She should be proud that she chose to do what was best for her baby, and even prouder that she was able to make it work. Not all women are able to breast feed Good for her!
Shitting is a natural thing but I wouldn't post a picture of me doing it on the internet. Well, okay I did JUST THAT ONE TIME but I took it down…………
Dumb bitch use both hands to hold your kid.
Bunch of dimwits that assume the article is about breastfeeding. It's about her posting a picture of it for the world to see. That's the wrong part.
There's nothing wrong with this, she's feeding her child. People take pictures of babies drinking bottles, same thing. Breasts ARE FOR FEEDING they have not other purpose.
No different than bottle-feeding pics. My kid attracts less attention latched to a boob than screaming while I fix a bottle.
I post my nursling all over my facebook page… We are doing our part to normalize breastfeeding in a CRAZY dim America where all of the adverts on pages (just like this one) are about looking up celebrities skirts and that's completely okay O_o Come on America do better.
Ok dumbass Nancy. Eating and shitting are not the same thing. They are mammary glands, they are there to feed offspring. You see more walking passed Victoria's Secret. Quit sexualizing breastfeeding. If you don't like a picture on instagram don't have that person on there. God forbid someone take a picture of something they think is beautiful and you disagree.
What is she…like 14???
I disagree with rachelle……. breasts were made for 3 things, Looking at, Feeling up ANNNNNND Breastfeeding….
Good for her. I'm always glad to see people making breastfeeding normal.
Girls can put a million "Look at my Boobies" pics every day. This one is fine. Unless you are getting a boner. Then you are sick. I see boobs every day and never think anything about it.
To bad the momma is only 12 years old.
This is perfectly normal. I would rather see a woman in the mall breastfeeding her child than one walking around with her breast hanging out for the whole world to see for no reason. Don't get me wrong, I love to see a nice set of breast, but they should be viewed in private by the one you love, not by the whole world!!!
The thing I find wrong with this picture is that she's holding the camera instead of her kid with both hands.
There is nothing wrong with this.
This is not a parent fail.
Way to go girlie!!!
More people need to realize breastfeeding is GOOD!!
It is not sexual.
This is Proud Parents fail for posting with a negative aspect.
Way to go on doing her part to normalize breastfeeding! I have a crapload of these on fb myself
Good for her! Why is it okay for this site to post ads showing WAY more skin than this mama, but not okay for her to post a picture of breastfeeding? Nursing does not require two hands, either, as anyone who's done it would know. People are so susceptible to suggestion. This is more of a fail on the part of the website, for posting it with a negative "put it away" type caption, than it is a fail on the part of the mama, who is feeding her baby in a totally normal way.
!!!turns me on!!!
I'm fine with it. People post picks of themselves bottle feeding their kids all the time, so what's the big deal about this?
People that are obsessed with "normalizing breast-feeding" and de-sexualizing it dont seem to understand: men and boys (and gay women) are sexually aroused by breasts. There is nothing sexual about breastfeeding your baby and all the more power to any woman that does, but to do it in public with your breast hanging out or to post public pictures of it is inappropriate!!! It is not the act of breastfeeding your baby, it is the body part that so happens to be needed to carry out this task that is hanging out for the world to see. Hmm why do we wear clothes every day? To say that public breastfeeding needs to be de-sexualized is like saying nudity should be desexualized, or the woman with the big bulging cleavage shouldnt be stared at. Breasts are sexualized, people. There is NO getting around that. So if you dont want to a. make people gape at you or b. make people uncomfortable, keep it modest.
Well, they are right about desexualization and normalization of breasts for breastfeeding. Men are attracted to breasts and wide hips because they are symbolic of fertility, even if the man doesn't realize that's why he likes them. But that is (a primal instinct) because he wants a woman who can bare children and nourish them. It proves that it's a thing to be normalized, and nothing to be ashamed of at all.
No problem with breastfeeding. Wouldn't have a problem if I spotted a woman doing it in public. Hell, I would have if my baby was able to suckle properly.
BUT taking a photo and posting it… I have a problem with that. I don't see it as anything sexual, I see it more as the woman posting it specifically to get reactions, whether it be positive or negative. Basically, it's momma being a giant attention whore.

When thinking of tropicals, papayas and mangoes most likely come to mind first.
But there are a variety of other commodities in the category that some say are equally tasty and are becoming more popular every year.
Take star fruit, for example.
"Star fruit are typically a nice, smaller volume tropical item that is truly one of the most unique fruits," said Charlie Eagle, vice president of business development for Southern Specialties Inc., Pompano Beach, Fla.
"It's a very unique, very versatile fruit that is sure to bring attention to the dish and create conversation at the table."
When they're sliced, the unusual star shapes makes a great garnish for hot and cold dishes, he said.
"You can grill star fruit, and the grilling process brings out the sugars, and the caramelized star fruit has a wonderful flavor," he said.
Star fruit, also known as carambola, has two peak seasons, said Peter Leifermann, director of sales and procurement for Brooks Tropicals Inc., Homestead, Fla.
The peak of the summer season will be the first two weeks of September, he said. There's another peak during the winter.
Star fruit has proven to be a hit with foodservice customers as well as retailers, he said.
Unity Groves Corp., Homestead, Fla., also offers star fruit along with other tropicals, like guava, available year-round, and Thai bananas, year-round except for possible gaps in February or March, said Louie Carricarte, president and owner.
Unity Groves also will offer dragon fruit into October and longans, jujubes and rambutans through September.
Florida passion fruit, sugar cane and coconuts also are among the company's offerings.
J&C Tropicals Inc., Miami, offers star fruit and mamey, a specialty fruit that grows in south Florida and has a "delicious, unique taste, dark pink flesh with a black seed in the middle," said Adrian Capote, vice president of sales.
It's a favorite among the Hispanic community and is especially popular in cities like Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and New York, he said.
"It's an extremely good seller," he added, and is available from August through October.
"Retailers are definitely getting into more specialty items, and they're getting good response to them," Capote said.
Southern Specialties also has a significant year-round lime deal out of Guatemala, Eagle said. The fruit has heavy juice content and is sold in 2- and 3-pound mesh bags.
The program has been going on for a few years and continues to grow, he said.

Pace bowler Tony Palladino says he'll be working hard to put last season's injury worries behind him and he hopes for a productive 2014 campaign.
The 30-year-old missed the majority of the 2013 season with a side strain, but returned to Karl Krikken's side for the final three fixtures picking up 15 wickets at a shade over 17.
Palladino insists he will be working harder than anyone this winter to ensure he remains on the field for the entire 2014 summer as Derbyshire aim for an immediate return to the top flight.
"I'm working hard to make sure I get a full season in the bank next year and that's what I am planning to do," he said.
"I had a side strain towards the start of last season. It's something that can happen to any bowler really. There can be a lot of strain on the body but it's our job and I certainly wouldn't chance it for the world.
Wicketkeeper Tom Poynton says the first week back has been his hardest ever, but insists the squad will be better off from it come April.
The playing squad reported back for the start of their winter training schedule last week and have been put through their paces by Strength and Conditioning Coach Jamie Tallent.
Poynton is beginning his seventh pre-season programme with the first team after graduating from the Cricket Derbyshire Academy in partnership with the University of Derby in 2008.
"I'm very stiff and sore at the moment. It's been one of the toughest first weeks we've had," the 23-year-old said after completing the first week back.
"We're all battling through it, but this is the stuff you love if it's going to come good in April.
"We currently have three or four cardio days a week as well as gym work which has been specifically designed for each individual player.
Derbyshire County Cricket Club is pressing forward with funding applications for a £3.65 million redevelopment of the County Ground following further talks with Derby City Council.
Representatives from the Club and the Council met to review potential options for ground development and established that the only viable option within the City of Derby is the redevelopment of the County Ground.
Whilst the Club has still not ruled out a move to an alternative location elsewhere in the county, they will now pursue additional funds to augment their existing redevelopment budgets.
The Club has already gained £1.7 million in ECB funding and is now looking to secure an additional £1.9 million in loan and grant funding to secure the development of a 7,000 capacity outdoor amphitheatre capable of hosting international cricket, concerts and community events.
Despite interest from other counties, Wayne Madsen has signed a three-year contract extension with Derbyshire County Cricket Club.
The 29-year-old skipper and two-time Player of the Year is now committed to the Club until the conclusion of the 2016 season.
Madsen became the first player in the country to reach 1,000 LV= County Championship Division One runs during a standout 2013 season which brought a total of 1,239 first-class runs at 43.60 with three hundreds and eight fifties.
The inspirational Captain led his side to promotion as Division Two champions in 2012 followed by three victories last season in the county's first season back in the top flight for over a decade.
Madsen also added 389 runs in the one-day arena in 2013, including a career-best List A score of 78 in Derbyshire's Yorkshire Bank 40 match versus Lancashire.
Derbyshire County Cricket Club paid its respects this Remembrance Sunday by laying wreaths at services across the county as the people of Derbyshire came together to remember.
Club Regional Representatives, who act as representatives for Members within each region, attended services within each district on behalf of Cricket Derbyshire as part of a national day of remembrance.
As part of a jointly coordinated operation, Regional Representatives from Derby City, Derbyshire Dales, Chesterfield and Bolsover, East Staffordshire, High Peak, Erewash and South Derbyshire laid commemorative wreaths to remember fallen Service men and women.
Chief Executive Simon Storey said: "It was appropriate that we were represented in every district on Remembrance Sunday this year as the County Cricket Club honours those who have lost their lives in service for the people of Derbyshire.

Third-year Academy member Harvey Hosein spoke of his pride after being selected for the England Performance Development programme for a third straight year.
The young wicketkeeper has a busy winter ahead of him as he travels the country to join up with the England Development programme while resuming his training commitments with the Cricket Derbyshire Academy in partnership with University of Derby.
Hosein is hoping a good off-season will help him have an impact for both the Derbyshire Academy and Second XI in 2014.
"I'm really looking forward to another year on the Academy working with the coaches here at Derby," he said.
"The dedicated coaching staff at the Club will help us cover all the relevant areas as we continue with our developments. They help your all-round game and set you up perfectly for professional cricket.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) celebrates another major commercial boost ahead of the eagerly anticipated Ashes Series in Australia, in announcing that Royal London, the UK's largest mutual life and pensions company, will become the headline sponsor of one-day cricket at international, county and recreational levels from 2014.
Royal London has six million customers, and recently announced a new strategy which will see each of its 11 existing brands migrate to its Royal London masterbrand.
The ECB's vision of game-wide title sponsorship for each format has now come to fruition with Royal London sponsoring all one-day cricket, Investec sponsoring Test cricket, NatWest sponsoring all T20 cricket and LV= backing the County Championship.

Second-year Academy member Callum Brodrick says seeing former graduates awarded summer contracts acts as the perfect motivation as the class of 2014 begin their winter programme.
The young batsman hit the headlines in 2013 when, on 12th man duty for the first team, he took a crucial catch to remove England's Eoin Morgan in Derbyshire's LV= County Championship Division One triumph against Middlesex.
Brodrick will rejoin the Cricket Derbyshire Academy in partnership with University of Derby for a second year in 2014 and he hopes a successful winter will offer him more opportunities with both the Second XI and Karl Krikken's side next season.
"I'm looking forward to the winter training," he said. "I've kind of missed it during our break but happy to be back and can't wait to get started again.
"It's a great philosophy to have assisting the Academy players come through. There's a great ethos in the Academy and at the Club as a whole.

RICOH Women's British Open
The Old Course, St. Andrews
Fife, Scotland
Final-round Notes and Interviews
August 4, 2013
Stacy Lewis -8, Rolex Rankings No. 2
Na Yeon Choi -6, Rolex Rankings No. 4
Inbee Park +6, Rolex Rankings No. 1
Sunday's Final-round Recap
All eyes were set on Rolex Rankings No.1 Inbee Park this week at St. Andrews hoping to catch a glimpse of history at the RICOH Women's British Open. But it was the No. 2 player in the world who ended up stealing the headlines.
American Stacy Lewis shot a final-round, even-par 72 at the famed Old Course to win her second-career major championship with a two-shot victory over South Koreans Na Yeon Choi and Hee Young Park. Lewis birdied the 71st and 72nd holes of the tournament to move her to 8-under par which proved to be the winning score.
"We're at the home of golf," said Lewis. "To end birdie-birdie is amazing. It's been a perfect day."
The victory is Lewis' second major win and first since the 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship which was also the last time an American claimed a major title. The win snapped a streak of 10 winless majors for the United States.
"I'm pretty excited about that," said Lewis. "I guess it was the longest stretch we've ever had for an American gap; I don't know if that's for sure. But we get asked about it. I got asked about it this week. Every major, we get asked about it, and it definitely gets old, so more than anything, you guys can't ask me the question for awhile."
The win also earned Lewis 120 U.S. Solheim Cup Team points, helping her finish first in the U.S. points race with 977 points. She'll be making her second appearance at the biennial team event in two weeks at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker, Colo. Eight Americans finished this week in the top-20.
"It's nice just to be playing well going into the Solheim Cup and see Morgan is playing well, Paula is playing well and to see the American flag up on the board has definitely been a lot of fun this week," said Lewis.
Lewis started her day on Sunday with a 4:30 a.m. wake up call and had 36 holes to play after tournament play was suspended on Saturday due to high winds. She got off to solid start, shooting a 3-under 69 for her third round score, and began the final round one shot off third-round leader and fellow American Morgan Pressel.
But it wasn't smooth sailing for the reigning Rolex Player of the Year. She had to grind through an up-and-down final round that included five birdies and five bogeys. It was a rough start for Lewis, as she went 2-over-par through the first five holes after dropping shots on Nos. 2 and 4.
The 28-year old was playing five groups in front of Na Yeon Choi, who proved to be Lewis' biggest challenger of the day. Choi made the turn at 8-under par while Lewis picked up her second-consecutive bogey on the par 4 12th hole to drop to 6-under. Choi then carded her third birdie of the round on No. 10 to extend her lead to three shots over Lewis.
But the back nine at the Old Course proved to be quite the test for the players throughout the week and was the perfect challenge for those trying to close out on a high note. Choi found herself in trouble midway through the back nine and had some added pressure mounted on her when she took a look at the leaderboard
"I watched it a little bit because I thought I was leading and then after two bogeys, I thought, I have to check, so I checked the leaderboard," said Choi. "It was okay, but like after a couple holes later, Stacy went up, and I think I got a little pressure when I check the leaderboard."
Choi picked up back-to-back bogeys on Nos. 13 and 14 just as Lewis hit a miraculous second shot into the par 4 17th green to within three feet of the hole. She sank the putt for a two-shot swing and a share of the lead as she headed to Tom Morris, the famous 18th hole at St. Andrews.
"I hit the perfect golf shot (on 17)," said Lewis. "I mean, that was the shot ‑‑ I saw the shot in my head, but to actually pull it off, when it counts, it doesn't ‑‑ a shot like that doesn't happen very often. So I knew after I hit it close, I was like, all right, I have to make this putt; somehow this putt was going to go in, because the shot was so good."
After striping her drive to within 40 yards of the green on 18, Lewis and her caddie, Travis Wilson, decided to go with her putter for her second shot.
"Travis, he didn't even give me a number," said Lewis. We were playing something on the ground, we never even thought about flying anything up there…So, you know, right away Travis said, 'Why don't you putt it.' And actually in the practice round, I threw some balls down there and hit some putts from there. I knew it was possible. As soon as he felt confident with the putter, it made me even more confident with it, because I think that was the only shot from where I was that you could get it somewhat close."
Lewis whacked it 20 feet past the hole and worked on some memories from 2008 when she went 5-0 at the Old Course in the Curtis Cup.
"I remember one of my matches in Curtis Cup, the pin was in that similar place, and I remember having a putt back up the hill and leaving it short," said Lewis. "So that's kind of the mistake there is to not get the put to the hole, because you say the swale on the other side, you think it's downhill but it's actually back up the hill.
"So I had a little bit of knowledge there, and that whole right half of the green doesn't break as much as you think," said Lewis. "It's kind of a visual thing with the other side of the green. I knew what that putt did. The hardest part was just getting it to the hole. Right off the face, it looked pretty good, and it was pretty cool when it went in."
Finishing out on a high note, Lewis still had to wait for Choi to finish out her last three holes. Choi didn't do herself any favors after finding trouble in the deep rough on the 17th hole. She chipped to six feet but pushed her par putt to drop two shots behind Lewis. She failed at holing out from the fairway on the 18th and the title was Lewis'. The Woodlands, Texas native said the win ranks high in her career accomplishment and isn't sure she has ever finished a tournament in the fashion she did today.
"It's up there with the Kraft, for sure," said Lewis. "The finish might be even be better than the Kraft truthfully. I made a pretty good putt at the Kraft, too. 17 must be my hole for some reason. It might be ahead of the Kraft. To make those two birdies on 18, that's probably the hardest hole location we had all week there. And to birdie 17, any day, is good, let alone the final round of a major."
Difficult Finish: With six holes to play, Na Yeon Choi held a three-shot lead over the field and looked to be close to locking up a second major title. But the back nine on the Old Course at St. Andrews has been difficult for most players this week and that back stretch proved to be the downfall of Choi's chances.
Back-to-back bogeys on 13 and 14 dropped Choi down to 7-under-par and Stacy Lewis' remarkable birdie on the 17th suddenly made it a tie atop the leaderboard. After Lewis made birdie on the 18th to take a one-shot lead, Choi needed to make at least one birdie over the final three holes. Instead, she made bogey on the 17th to finish in a tie for
"First two days, I didn't miss not many fairways, I didn't miss ‑‑ not many greens," Choi said. "But today, I got maybe five or six bunkers out there…as long as you hit the bunker, you have to lay up. So it was kind of like driving me crazy out there."
When hearing that Lewis tallied a birdie-birdie finish on 17 and 18 to get to 8-under, Choi had nothing but compliments for her fellow competitor.
"That's huge, especially this golf course," Choi said. "I mean, I feel like I missed a couple putts out there, but still, she's playing well. She's playing better than me. I think that's why she won. I think I have to accept that."
All great things must come to an end: Inbee Park came into this week's RICOH Women's British Open with high hopes of making history by becoming the first golfer – male or female – to win four professional majors in a season. That feat was not to be this week, as Park struggled over her final 32 holes on Sunday. The No. 1 player in the Rolex Rankings shot rounds of 74-78 to finish in a tie for 42nd at 6-over-par.
"The fourth round, I really got off to a bad start," Park said. "I four-putted the first hole, really slow start. Really tough to get your day going after that kind of a hole, but, you know, just glad that this tournament is over, and I've gone through four rounds under pressure.
"It's something that I've never experienced before, and I just had a great experience. I might not have won this week, but I've learned."
Known as one of the best putters currently in the game, Park struggled with her flat stick through the week. That was particularly true in her final round on Sunday when she tallied 40 putts in the round.
Park will have another opportunity to become the first player to win four professional majors in a season when she competes next month in The Evian Championship, which becomes the LPGA's fifth major for the first time this year. The 25-year-old South Korean doesn't expect to have nearly the amount of attention focused on her that week as she did in St. Andrews.
But while her streak of consecutive majors won came to an end at three, Park was able to reflect positively upon the opportunity that she had at making history this week.
"I've done something amazing this season, winning three in a row," Park said. "I don't even know if I can do that again. That's going to be really tough. It might take a long time to beat that record. "
Two is better than one: New Zealand's Lydia Ko and England's Georgia Hall tied for the Smyth Salver, which is awarded to the leading amateur at the RICOH Women's British Open. The pair both finished at 6-over-par 294.
This is the second straight year that Ko has won the Smyth Salver, as she won it last year at Royal Liverpool. She becomes only the third player to take home the honor twice.
Golden ticket winners: Natalie Gulbis, Nicole Castrale and Pernilla Lindberg punched their "Ticket to CME Group Titleholders" at the RICOH Women's British Open, each earning a spot in the season-ending CME Group Titleholders event, which will be held Nov. 21-24, 2012 in Naples, Fla. The third-annual CME Group Titleholders is a season finale with a field made up of three qualifiers from every LPGA Tour tournament.

STACY LEWIS, Rolex Rankings No. 2
COLIN CALLANDER: We welcome Stacy Lewis, winner of the Ricoh Women's British Open, 8‑under par and a total of 280, a two‑shot victory. Your initial thoughts having won the U.S. Women's Open.
STACY LEWIS: It's just crazy, I was just hanging in there all day, and then, you know, 17 and 18 just happened so fast that I don't know if it's really hit me yet. It was so hard, you had to stay focused on the next shot, you couldn't even really think about the end.
You know, I made par on 16 and thought if I could par 17 and birdie 18 somehow, that you know, that might be good enough for a playoff. Just my patience what won it for me today, and it's really cool to have that trophy.
COLIN CALLANDER: You all talked about how difficult the weather was yesterday, but clearly today was much easier by any stretch of the imagination.
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, this morning was nice. We could get out there. You could make some birdies. The wind wasn't too bad. And then, you know, I think this morning into 1, I had like a gap wedge, and then this afternoon, I hit 6‑iron, so the wind definitely started blowing.
Once you made the turn, the loop out there, 7 on in, it was just hard. The wind was brutal, and you had to fight to make some pars, and you know, I never thought birdieing the last two was even possible.
Q. Tell me, with your back, is two rounds in one day, does that put a lot of pressure on it, or not?
STACY LEWIS: No, my back was great today. If anything, it's keeping your legs loose, and even after I finished I didn't want to sit down because after I sat down, I knew I would get tired. So just tried to keep moving all day. My body felt great. I had no issues with my back, so I felt good out there today.
Q. How important was it for you making a birdie on the 17th hole, watching the leaderboard just in front of you?
STACY LEWIS: You know, I was honestly trying to make par on 17. I was trying to hit it down there to the front of the green and 2‑putt and move on. That was kind of the goal.
And then I hit the perfect golf shot. I mean, that was the shot ‑‑ I saw the shot in my head, but to actually pull it off, when it counts, it doesn't ‑‑ a shot like that doesn't happen very often.
So I knew after I hit it close, I was like, all right, I have to make this putt; somehow this putt was going to go in, because the shot was so good.
Q. Before I get to the question I had, I wonder if you can kind of describe the flight of the ball on 17, what you were seeing and what it did.
STACY LEWIS: It was ‑‑ I don't know how far it was to the pin. I knew I was 160 to the front so I don't know how far the pin was on, but we were just trying to land it around that front number. And the shot I saw was a little ‑‑ kind of a low 5‑iron, and you know, what we wanted to do was start it at the front right of the green and let it turn with the wind and it would knock it down, it would hit into the slope and it would roll up there. Somehow, it did that.
So, it's one of those shots you see in your head but you don't really ever pull it off, and it just ‑‑ off the clubface, it was perfect. I was just yelling at it to get down, because if you land it up on top, it was going to go over. So I was fortunate laying it into the slope and it killed it a little bit.
Q. Laying up on 18 from where you were, could just talk about your decision to go with putter.
STACY LEWIS: Travis, he didn't even give me a number. We were playing something on the ground, we never even thought about flying anything up there. But we were talking about whether we were going to putt it or chip it, and the chip shot, it was a flat and then it went down and then back up. So we were worried about it hitting on a flat and then missing the down and going straight into the slope.
So, you know, right away Travis said, "Why don't you putt it." And actually in the practise round, I threw some balls down there and hit some putts from there. I knew it was possible.
As soon as he felt confident with the putter, it made me even more confident with it, because I think that was the only shot from where I was that you could get it somewhat close.
Q. At the beginning of the year, you talked about the pressures of being Player of the Year and then No. 1 being a bit overwhelming. Did it almost set up well for you this week, that all of the attention was on Inbee and you could just do your thing or how much of a role do you think that played?
STACY LEWIS: That was some of it, but I still had things I had to do this week. I mean, Inbee deserved the attention, so I was totally fine with it. I know that position she's in is very hard, and she did extremely well, all year, playing with it. Nice to know I guess that she's human (laughter).
But, you know, I love this place, and I knew I was playing well. I don't know, I had a good feeling about it, and it just ‑‑ that's just nice the way it all worked out.
Q. So you've won two Majors and you know what it's like to go through the pressure; is it possible to do what Inbee Park hasn't done this week, and is it possible in the future?
STACY LEWIS: Honestly, I didn't think you could win ‑‑ I thought winning three in a year would be hard, let alone three in a row.
You know, the four, I don't know if you ever see the three in a row again. I mean, that's pretty incredible, just to do that, to deal ‑‑ she went to the U.S. Open with all the questions, and she had to answer all the questions, every single day, about winning it, what would it feel like, what would it feel like, and she still did it. That's the most impressive part to me. But I find it hard to believe that anybody ever does get four of them in a year.
Q. Curtis Cup, I know you went 5‑0, did you have the clinching point?
STACY LEWIS: I did.
Q. Two or three people ‑‑ or nobody ‑‑
STACY LEWIS: People thought I was on 16, people thought I was going to end on 17, and so everybody was crowded around 17, because that's where they thought it was going to happen, but I holed my putt first, so I technically got the winning point.
Q. I wonder if you can talk about just your affection for St. Andrews and what you've done there twice in the last five years, and how the finish just kind of adds to the whole substance of it all?
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, when we came here for Curtis Cup, we got off the plane and we got here early in the morning and it was raining side ways and we all put on our Jane jackets and our rain gear and we came out and just walked around. Instantly, I fell in love with it. I think it's more the history of it more than anything, just knowing all the great champions that have played here. Golf was started here. I mean, it's amazing to even think of. I was saying to Travis as we were walking up 18 the other day, just to think, who would have thought everything would start here.
I don't know, I love this golf course more than I think any links course I've played. You can get rewarded for good shots. There's not any crazy bunkers right in the dead center of the fairway. You can at least kind of play around things and get rewarded for good shots, and that's what I like. But, I don't know, I love this golf course, and I think I was happy being here all week, and I was comfortable and I think that's a lot of the reason I'm here right now.
Q. After winning the U.S. Open, Inbee wins, you finish tied for 42nd, pretty far behind; at that point, are you feeling as if you're losing ground through no fault of your own? I mean, how do you explain that a few weeks later, you win and she finishes tied for 42nd?
STACY LEWIS: That's golf. I mean, I don't know. You know, I was definitely disappointed with the U.S. Open, because that's one I was looking forward to all year. But you know, after that week, I just got back to work, and I started working on my game, and I kind of ‑‑ I felt it coming around. I shot 64 both the final rounds the last two weeks coming into this week, so I knew I was playing good golf. It was just kind of putting it all together.
You know, golf is a crazy game. Some people play well on some courses; some people don't. It's just kind of the way it is. Inbee's dealt with a lot, so I'm sure she's exhausted and ready for a little break.
Q. Do you remember the first time you saw St. Andrews on television? And before the tournament started, you said you can tell the players who have been there in the final round because they have adjusted to what your body does and the pressure; can you talk about having been there, how that helped?
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, I don't remember honestly the first time I saw it on TV or anything like that. I mean, obviously I watched the men's Majors, but I don't really remember too much of it.
But as far as being in those final groups, you know to just keep hanging in there, you know it's playing hard. You know ‑‑ I mean, the hole locations, there are a couple on the back nine that were really hard, and so I saw my name falling down that leaderboard, but I knew eventually it would go back up, if I could just make some pars and just sneak a birdie on the par 5.
But, you know, you look at ‑‑ look at who ended up at the top. You've got Morgan and Na Yeon Choi. They know how to win Majors. They know you just keep hanging in there. I made bogey on 15 and walking off that tee, I said to myself, "I can still win this. Just keep your head in it and don't get frustrated."
I never allowed myself to think: Oh, I'm out of it, that lost me the golf tournament.
Q. You're improved over a year at the British Open, can you explain that you've come to grips with links golf, and is the difference between 11th and 8th the last couple of years and winning, the experience at the Old Course five years ago?
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, I had gotten better at this tournament, I think just learning how to hit little chip shots around the green, learning how to putt from 40 yards away on 18, learning that the putter is the shot there, not trying to flop it up there or anything like that. It's a totally different style of golf. You're going to get weird bounces. It's understanding how it works, and I think every year I've kind of done that.
But I played it ‑‑ the Curtis Cup week, I played the course 11 times that week, so I saw it in a right‑to‑left wind, a left‑to‑right wind, in rain, in sun. I saw it in all the conditions, and so I knew, you know, during the practise round, I told my caddie, I said, you know, this hole is into the wind, but if it's downwind, what are we going to do. So we talked about all the scenarios. When stuff changed out there, we rolled with it and it didn't seem like a big deal.
Q. Earlier this year, you talked about how you were working on your emotions and not getting too upset when things weren't going right. Today, you had a number of setbacks with five bogeys. How much was that tested?
STACY LEWIS: It was tested a lot today. It was tested all week really. It was between the delays yesterday and all that, your emotions are tested there. People were pretty upset about not playing yesterday, some were happy; so all week was kind of pretty emotional.
But I was certainly tested, that's for sure. I got mad at myself but I found a way to, if I made bogey, I was off that green, I was on the next tee, and I was thinking about the next shot at hand. So I forgot about what I was doing.
Somehow this week I was just able to move on to the next shot. It's easier said than done, but this week, I don't know why I was completely different, but I made bogey on 2 and I said, all right, I hit a drive in the bunker, and I didn't hit a very good wedge shot in there, so I probably deserved make bogey, so let's go figure out how I'm not going to hit it in the bunker on the next hole. That was my mentality all day; it was, what do I have to do for the next shot.
Q. Could I ask, did you have any specialty mementos from St. Andrews and the Curtis Cup, any paintings or anything, and do you intend to buy any tomorrow?
STACY LEWIS: I should probably take some home with me I guess. I have a lot of pictures on the bridge and stuff like that and the trophy, so pictures with this will definitely go right next to it.
Q. How did you feel about not playing yesterday?
STACY LEWIS: You know, I was ‑‑ I wanted it to be fair. As the day went on, we could get the feeling that we weren't going to go back out there, and you know, people that have played in it were obviously very upset. But truthfully, I was happy that I didn't get out there. Paula, I think she was the last person to hit into 1 and she hit 5‑wood into 1 yesterday.
Obviously it was unplayable and I think once I got out there and saw some of the hole locations, the hole locations weren't set up for a bunch of wind. So I don't know if we kind of put ourselves behind the 8‑ball a little bit with that, but I mean, for me and the leaders, we were all glad we didn't get out there.
Q. And a real quick question about Phil; do you have the kind of relationship with him ‑‑ have you communicated with him since his British Open win, and have you take anything from seeing him finally win that thing?
STACY LEWIS: I haven't talked with him directly, but you know, the people at KPMG, they were actually very excited. They had spoken to him, and they were ‑‑ right after Phil won, they said, all right, you have to do it now. To actually do it is kind of crazy. They are definitely very excited.
Q. Could you go over the details of your bogeys on 12, 13 and 15, and secondly, as you're looking at that and remembering, if there was ever a time when your patience was most tested, when you felt it was the most bleak in other words?
STACY LEWIS: All right, my bogeys, on 11, I hit it ‑‑ gosh, I was pretty far right. I hit a 5‑iron off the tee and just kind of blocked it and it rode the wind. I had a really hard 2‑putt and I 3‑putted there.
Q. How far?
STACY LEWIS: I don't even know. It was far. The pin was in kind of a funky spot, and the goal there was to get left of the flag and I missed it on the wrong side.
And then 12, I hit it in the left rough off the tee, which is not ‑‑ that was kind of my play was to go down there, and then I hit it front right down in the front part of the green, and the pin was up on the left shelf, which is obviously another really hard 2‑putt. The pin was ‑‑ I don't even know ‑‑ we were talking about it afterwards. I don't know where you hit it on 12. I don't know if you hit it ‑‑ if you hit it to the hole, it's going to go over.
So the hole location there was just really hard. The first putt barely got up the ridge. I was fortunate it stayed there. So I took my bogey and ran out of there.
14, I hit the green in two and made birdie.
15 was the other bogey. 15 I hit the fairway and then actually thought I hit a pretty good shot. The wind kind of switched as we were coming in. It had been downwind on 11, 12, 13 and 14, it was kind of helping and we got to 15 and it switched back in and I didn't hit enough club, so I hit the wrong club there and was short of the green.
Hit a good chip shot to five feet and just hit a terrible putt. That was probably the time when I was probably most frustrated, because I had been hanging in there all day, and it was a pretty straight 5‑footer and I missed it. That was kind of the moment when I could have gotten frustrated but I held it together and finished really good.
Q. The putt on 18, can you just talk about that, because seemed like you saw that very well, the birdie putt that you made?
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, I remember one of my matches in Curtis Cup, the pin was in that similar place, and I remember having a putt back up the hill and leaving it short.
So that's kind of the mistake there is to not get the put to the hole, because you say the swale on the other side, you think it's downhill but it's actually back up the hill. So I had a little bit of knowledge there, and that whole right half of the green doesn't break as much as you think. It's kind of a visual thing with the other side of the green.
I knew what that putt did. The hardest part was just getting it to the hole. Right off the face, it looked pretty good, and it was pretty cool when it went in.
Q. How does it feel to get a major win right before the Solheim Cup?
STACY LEWIS: I'm very excited. I'm tired about hearing about the last American to win a major, so I'm glad we got rid of that. It's been a little while so I'm glad that's off the table.
It's nice just to be playing well going into the Solheim Cup and see Morgan is playing well, Paula is playing well and to see the American flag up on the board has definitely been a lot of fun this week.
Q. Where would you rank this finish in your career, 17 and 18?
STACY LEWIS: It's up there with the craft, for sure. The finish might be even be better than the craft truth fly. I made a pretty good putt at the craft, too. 17 must be my hole for some reason. It might be ahead of the Kraft.
To make those two birdies on 18, that's probably the hardest hole location we had all week there. And to birdie 17, any day, is good, let alone the final round of a major.
So the finish is definitely one of my best.
Q. And then second, one of your close friends was telling me a little bit ago that you really want to get No. 1 back really badly. Can you talk about that a little bit, chasing down Inbee?
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, you know, I was pretty ‑‑ I don't feel like I lost it. I definitely haven't been playing my best the last few months, but I don't feel like I lost it. I just feel like Inbee was playing better.
So if anything, it made me want to go practise and want to work harder to be better. It made me realize that, you know, what I was doing was pretty good, but she's doing something that's even better now, so I need to go out there and I need to work hard. If I get back there, you know, when I get there, I just want to enjoy it more. When I got there in March, I was overwhelmed and busy and never really got to enjoy it. So I want to get back there just so I can enjoy it a little more.
Q. How do you feel about the fact that you've got ‑‑ one of the Asian winners over the last 11 Majors, and before then, it was you, as well?
STACY LEWIS: I'm pretty excited about that. I guess it was the longest stretch we've ever had for an American gap; I don't know if that's for sure. But we get asked about it. I got asked about it this week. Every major, we get asked about it, and it definitely gets old, so more than anything, you guys can't ask me the question for awhile.
Q. Do you have any sympathy for Inbee Park and how do you think she'll deal with it?
STACY LEWIS: I think she's doing okay (laughter). I think she's doing just fine.
NA YEON CHOI, Rolex Rankings No. 4
Q. I know not quite the finish that you were hoping for but just take me through this final round, your thoughts on it?
NA YEON CHOI: I mean, I know that was like a great opportunity to, you know, finish great, but I don't know, my focus wasn't bad. I think, you know, sometimes when I play 36 holes, I felt like after like 30 holes, I felt like very tired. But I was okay, and I think I missed a lot of putts out there.
Still I've got a good experience with this course, and you know, I practised with my coach like last eight, nine days, and I'm pretty sure he has some answers for my game, so you know, I'm expecting that, and still season going so far, so also we have one more major tournament, so we'll see.
Q. When you take a look at the back side of this golf course, kind of what ‑‑ it's usually definitely more difficult; did you kind of know that when you were making the turn thinking, I kind of have to keep pushing through this stretch, not make too many mistakes?
NA YEON CHOI: I mean, like if I compare first day and second day and today, like first two days, I didn't miss not many fairways, I didn't miss ‑‑ not many greens. But today, I got maybe five or six bunkers out there. I think that that was like kind of the low key. I think I should hit the first and then try like birdie chance or par chance, but if as long as you hit the bunker, you have to lay up. So it was kind of like driving my crazy out there.
But I try to, you know, stay calm, and still, a good experience. I learned many things, after the round always missing something out there, and I think that was the putting this week, so I need to keep working on my putting, especially speed. Actually green speed was fast today. So I just keep working on and make some good results in my five tour.
Q. Can you take me through some of the bogeys on the back side?
NA YEON CHOI: I got bogey on 13, that was actually 3‑putt. And then 14, that was a 3‑putt, too. The 14 was a par 5 and I drove very well, but my third shot was in fescue and my birdie putt was almost 30‑yard putt, so I missed a par putt, so bogey.
And then bogey on 17, I missed a par putt, like four or five feet par putt, I missed it.
Q. How aware are you of what Stacy was doing, especially as she was kind of coming down the stretch with her birdies on 17 and 18?
NA YEON CHOI: Oh, I didn't know where she got birdie. She got birdie on 17 and 18? That's huge, especially this golf course. I mean, I feel like I missed a couple putts out there, but still, she's playing well. She's playing better than me. I think that's why she won. I think I have to accept that.
Q. Were you looking at the leaderboard down the stretch?
NA YEON CHOI: Yes, actually I watch it a little bit because I thought I was leading and then after two bogeys, I thought, I have to check, so I checked the leaderboard and I mean, it was okay, but like after a couple holes later, Stacy went up, and I think I got a little pressure when I check the leaderboard.
But, I mean, no regret. That's what I can do right now.
Q. And on 18, being two shots down, were you thinking to hole that second shot?
NA YEON CHOI: That's what my caddie said. I tried to keep like visualise my ball landing there and roll. I tried my best.
INBEE PARK, Rolex Rankings No. 1
INBEE PARK: It was a tough day today, so I'm just glad that the 18th hole, that's the toughest hole, playing all the tough holes on the back nine, 18 holes feels like a relief. Feels like almost there.
Q. Walking off the 18th hole, is there a feeling of disappointment?
INBEE PARK: I mean, fourth round, I really got off to a bad start. I 4-putted the first hole, really slow start. Really tough to get your day going after that kind of a hole, but, you know, just glad that this tournament is over, and I've gone through four rounds of under pressure.
So it's something that I've never experienced before, and I just had a great experience. I might not have won this week, but I've learned.
Q. Saying you're glad it's over, did you not enjoy the week --
INBEE PARK: I enjoyed it but 36 holes in the final round under the pressure was very tough. I feel like I have a relief now, and I'm really relieved that -- I really enjoyed this week, every moment that I was here.
Yeah, but it is tough to be in the center of everything for a week, and I feel exhausted a little bit.
Q. You were 6-under par through ten holes in the opening round, do you look back at a moment during the week where things really changed for you; if so, where would that be?
INBEE PARK: It would have been probably the back nine for the first round. Yeah, I mean, it's just a couple bad drives, and I was really having trouble on the greens after that.
Especially around 3 and 4, there's a lot of 3-putts and 4-putts, so I left a lot of shots on the greens, but the greens were just really tough to judge the speed; they were great one minute, and one minute they were slow. It was a tough tournament, tough greens to read, tough greens to judge, but this has been a great experience for me.
I still have a lot to learn and a lot of room to improve.
Q. Apart from the fact that the media can be very annoying, what else did you learn this week?
INBEE PARK: Obviously this week playing under the pressure, that's one thing that I've learned. You know, everything I think, my play -- just I would never experience some kind of things like that where I go for four Majors in a row and everybody watching me. Felt a little bit weird. I get to do interview even if I shot a 6-over today. Just everything about this tournament is new for me.
Q. Now what, now what are you going to do, are you going to go home and drive your Ferrari around Korea?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, sounds nice. I want to relax for two or three days just doing nothing, get my energy back up and just get ready to go again.
Q. What was going through your mind walking up the 18th?
INBEE PARK: It was a tough day today, so I'm just glad that the 18th hole is not the toughest hole. Playing all the tough holes on the back nine, just 18th hole feels like a relief and feels like almost there.
Like I said, just glad it's over, and you know, this great experience that I had, I will never forget.
Q. Was it hard to motivate yourself?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, when you're so far from the lead, it is hard to get your motivation going and get your inspiration going for something. Especially I got off to a really bad start off No. 1. I really tried to push myself to play as good as I can, but the course was playing quite tough. It didn't really quite putt well out there today.
Q. The weather problems hanging around yesterday kind of helped?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, five-hour layover wasn't the easiest thing, but everybody, most of the people had to deal with that.
Q. What do you think it will be like at Evian?
INBEE PARK: I think it will be much less than this -- well, I think. But I have done something like this already, so, you know, I could do anything from now on.
Q. Having come so close, do you think it can be done in the future?
INBEE PARK: Well, I don't really know. I mean, I've done something amazing this season, winning three in a row. I don't even know if I can do that again. That's going to be really tough. It might take a long time to beat that record.
Q. You still have a chance to become the first person and win four Majors, that's not over?
INBEE PARK: I'm trying to get my game back on a good level when I was playing in the U.S. Open. It's been mostly putting this week that I had trouble with, a lot of 3-putts, and even a 4-putt.
Q. What's been your favourite part of the week?
INBEE PARK: Favourite part is I never had this many people rooting for me and wanting me to play good. Never had those feelings before, so that has been nice.
Q. Yesterday, what was that like, waiting and waiting and waiting; did you get back out or --
INBEE PARK: I really wanted to play yesterday. I was ready to play in the wind. I played four holes in really windy conditions, and you know, I was handling myself really good out there and felt really good about my game. We really didn't get to play anymore golf after that, so, yeah, too bad.
Q. That would have helped yesterday to keep --
INBEE PARK: Because I see the results, you might say that, but you just never know. I think I could have been better than this maybe.
Q. You kind of got some bad breaks in the weather all around, and you said that's just kind of the way it goes?
INBEE PARK: The weather and the mother of nature has to be on your side in the British Open if you're going to win this week. Yeah, it didn't happen for me this year, but I have a lot more years to go.
Q. Where do you go -- do you go back to the United States now?
INBEE PARK: I go back to Korea tomorrow.
Q. Do you get a chance then to relax a little bit? I know you were there.
INBEE PARK: Yeah, I think so. I have two weeks there so probably get some time to rest.
Q. When you go back home tomorrow, will they be talking more about you've won three majors, or that you didn't win this major?
INBEE PARK: I don't really know. I mean, I don't really know what they are going to talk about.
Q. Did you put any money on yourself before you left Las Vegas?
INBEE PARK: No (laughing).
Q. Did you buy a house in Vegas?
INBEE PARK: I put an offer on a couple of houses so might get good news, but not something confirmed yet.
Q. Do you watch the Solheim Cup at all? Do you pay any attention, or do you take a break away from golf?
INBEE PARK: I watch, but I don't watch it right on TV for five hours. I watch when I get time. I think this one will be fun, so I'll definitely watch.
Q. If you can't win this, who would you like to see win this today?
INBEE PARK: Well, I mean, Na Yeon Choi is a very good friend of mine, so I would really love her to win, so she's a great friend of mine, so rooting for her.
Q. You're still only 25, so you've got a lot more years left; do you think you'll always look back on this week and say, hey, you know, I faced something --
INBEE PARK: Yeah, of course, I think so. Unless I win four Majors in a row, I think I'll always remember this moment. You know, something like this, not many people get to experience and I was the lucky one to experience this stuff.

Bald Eagle numbers have increased substantially during the past 2 decades, and Vermont is now host to 16 territorial pairs. Increases in Bald Eagle populations have resulted from a combination of factors; these include the banning of DDT in North America, an effective reintroduction program and the protection of Bald Eagle breeding and wintering habitat through the Endangered Species Act. Vermont conducted its own reintroduction program from 2004-2006, releasing 29 eagles in Addison, VT. Vermont is close to reaching its recovery goals for downlisting from state endangered status to threatened.
Audubon Vermont biologists coordinate the annual winter Bald Eagle Survey and work with New Hampshire Audubon to locate and monitor Bald Eagle breeding sites in the Connecticut River Basin. The 2013 winter survey was conducted along 15 Standardized Survey Routes (SSRs) in January, and is coordinated by the Biological Resources Division of the United States Geological Survey.
All 15 Standard Survey Routes (SSR) were covered for the 2013 winter survey. Twenty-four Bald Eagles (12 adult and 12 immature) were observed by designated observers on Vermont's SSRs in 2013. This number is above the 21 eagles reported in 2012. Bald Eagles were located on 7 of the 14 SSRs surveyed including three routes along Lake Champlain, two along the Connecticut River, on the lower Winooski River, and on the White River. The area between the Champlain Bridge and Shelburne Point on Lake Champlain supported the largest concentration of Bald Eagles (5 adults, 7 immatures) in the state. 2013 was the first year eagles have been seen on the Waterbury to Lake Winooski River route (Table 5). The overall numbers remain comparable with totals of full surveys in recent years; however the ratio of adults to immature eagles was significantly different from past years with nearly 50% of sightings of immature bald eagles.
Recently, Vermont Public Television did a small segment on the Bald Eagle Survey from Outdoor Journal program. Since 1979 volunteers have been keeping tabs on bald eagles as part of Vermont Audubon's annual winter bald eagle survey. To learn more about the important role of citizen science in the state we went out with a group of volunteers during the 2014 bald eagle survey. To view the video segment, click here.
For more information on Bald Eagles in Vermont, or to report sightings, contact Margaret Fowle at firstname.lastname@example.com or (802) 434-3068.

The Fit List: Jillian Michaels shares her top fitness tips
One of the hottest shows on TV continues to be "The Biggest Loser" where star trainer Jillian Michaels is famous for whipping those losers into shape. However, she says you can spend less time at the gym and still get results.
Here are her tips on the Fit List.
1) Keep yourself moving: This will help you burn more calories at the gym and more calories long after your workout is over.
2) Eat less: Jillian says the secret to losing weight is to eat less and move more.
3) Stand up: Stand up as often as possible as standing burns 1.5 more calories than sitting.
"You can burn 200 to 300 calories a day just by standing more. It's not a replacement for exercise, but when you can't get to the gym, adding that activity, keeping yourself moving and being more active throughout the day, will help you in the long run," Jillian said.

More reviews by Karenloveseyeshadow
I really like this lipstick. The colour is buildable and I like that I can make it look discreet if need be - I work as a nurse and so bright neon orange isn't really appropriate for daytime - but it still gives a nice little pop of colour that is especially nice in summertime.
You will have to apply a few coats to get a full on opaque look, and the smell of Maybelline lipsticks is in my opinion horrible, but all in all, this is a nice affordable product.
This lipstick is very flattering on my NC15 skin tone. The color is very on-trend and unique without being too-in-your-face. What I like most about it is the fact that you can apply it as sheer or opaque as you want. It is very comfortable and almost melts with your lips without being too much like a lip gloss. If you are familiar with Revlon lip butters, the texture is similar, but more opaque. Don't expect fantastic staying power with such a sheer texture. Overall, highly recommend.

I've been thinking about trying an orange lipstick for awhile now but since I'm NW20 and super cool toned I was apprehensive. I ended up picking this lipstick up at target tonight on a whim. I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprise.
This lipstick is not opaque so if that's what you're looking for, you won't find it here. Also you need to apply lip balm and/or exfoliate your lips before using this product. It can really accentuate any dryness. It has a nice creamy texture and slightly moisturizing formula. Since it's a little on the sheer side, my natural lip color (which is a dark pink/red) comes through and makes the color look light and almost kind of natural-ish. What really won me over is how it made my blue eyes stand out.
The wear time is not fantastic (3-4 hours) and at 7+ bucks is a little pricey for drugstore. Overall I'm super happy with this lipstick and it's sure to become a stable this summer.
The texture is nice, color bright, but not excessively orange. Was concerned it might be too much orange, but with fair skin and dark hair, it's actually more subtle than I thought it would be when you look at in straight from the tube.
The staying power really is not good, but it's drugstore lipstick so I don't set expectations too high, and with the right discounting or coupon, it's a fun and relatively inexpensive addition for the spring/summer season. I would consider getting other colors in this line if the price is right even though I will definitely need to reapply more.
Too sheer for my brown w/ purple undertoned Indian lips & I cannot hide the darn cracks nor skin imperfections on my larger then the avg sized lips lol. Looks good over one of my browny "nudes" tho for a lovely peach result, so all is not wasted & excellent over a matte for shine /glossy feel. Prefer my dirt cheap "Canal St Coral" NYC Twist Up Balm to this & often put them together as well.

Despite the bad rating on this website. this is one of my absolute favorite lipsticks ever. I like the color, it's my only bright orange lipstick so I don't know how it compares to the other ones, but I've always liked this line of lipsticks by maybelline. It looks good on my NC 25 skintone. If you have dry lips, always wear lip balm before putting this on. It can accentuate the dryness of your lips if you don't do so. It's pretty good longevity, if you don't eat or drink it can last up to 3-4 hours, which in my opinion is pretty good. This smells a bit plasticky but for the price I won't complain. Great product and I will definitely try other colors.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The pigmentation is low, its a sheer waxy gloss that leaves patches of brownish lip color peeping through. Layering 3 - 4 times doesn't help, it just looks like you have too much on. Revlon Super Lustrous "Siren" gives way more coverage and pop try that instead. This Maybelline one also highlights every dry bit of skin making lips look flakey and dry under the gloss, settles into lines. I find the fake orange candy perfume super strong and revolting. I might try layering it over other lipsticks if I am brave enough to face that perfume again. I don't know why they changed it from the normal Maybelline scent which is not great but not as bad.
I disagree with the reviewer who describes the whole Vivid line as pigmented, creamy, and apply on the lips very even and smooth." The 3 I've tried were all sheer waxy glosses that applied unevenly, They may feel smooth but look sheer and uneven. Big disappointment.
It's pretty, it's surprisingly wearable, it's UNIQUE. As the name implies, it's a bright and vivid orange, but it's actually quite easy to work with. It doesn't immediately go on opaque but you can build it up to the level of orange you'd like. This looks so trendy with a simple winged liner and mascara. It's also a little glossy and hydrating, which is a plus. I experienced no drying or flaking-- the opposite, actually.
You can wear this lip color alone, but it also layers beautifully over some pinks, nudes, or reds you may have in your collection.
Fairly inexpensive and worth having!
- Seems to work for everyone else but me
- Unpleasant application due to weird, grainy consistency
- Flake city, makes my lips look diseased even if they're hydrated and smooth
- Settles into lines (like, every line) which is seldom an issue for me
- Not particularly flattering on my NC30ish skintone
Complete waste of money. I've tried many times to make this work, but it always looks disgusting.

Facts about Algernon
- Breed: Florida White Mix
- Color: Albino Or Red-Eyed White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Standard
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
My name is Algernon!
Algernon's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, a special needs pet, and in need of an experienced adopter.
Algernon is a nice boy who, like all albinos, has impaired vision due to lack of melanin in his irises. So that means he needs someone who will act like they live with a partially blind bunny and not move their hands around them fast which is very scary to him.
When this vision impairment is respected by a caretaker, he is sweet and funny. He knows how to put on long faces and pout to get a treat. His behavior is funny to observe. He loves his Oxbow Bungalow and chews it up. He consumes a good amount of hay so you can't really give him too much hay. He loves his Oxbow Barley Biscuits too. He's a nice boy who enjoys watching TV with people and hanging out. He's not terribly fond of being picked up like most rabbits but he does enjoy a nice petting session as long as hands are slowly brought in to do that.
Algernon would do best in a home without children or dogs. He is acquainted with cats. He's a good boy!

It's a nightmare scenario: a student showing up on campus with a gun, threatening classmates and administrators. But it's one that two East Valley districts are preparing for with an emergency computer system that's new to Arizona.
E.V. Columbine copycats face diverse fates
The Scottsdale and Mesa unified school districts will be the first in the state to install Rapid Responder, a Web-based system that gives school officials and emergency personnel access to school emergency plans, contact information, floor plans, views from different parts of the campuses and other information to help first responders deal with a crisis.
Both districts are working with Washington state-based Prepared Response, the company that developed the system, with grant money from the U.S. Department of Education. Scottsdale received $364,000 to put its 33 school sites and an administrative building on the system, which it hopes to have completely online in May; Mesa got $872,000 to map out its 89 school campuses and four administrative sites, which it had online in March.
School districts have always had emergency response plans. Milissa Sackos, the Scottsdale district's executive director of student and community services, referred to the 34 big red binders she has for each site in Scottsdale with those emergency plans spelled out over piles of pages.
But no one can have those binders at their fingertips at all times, while this new system can be accessed from anywhere - even the computers in police cars, she said.
"This is an online tool that lets us upload our emergency response plans so they are at our fingertips at any moment," Sackos said. "This has brought our emergency response plans to a whole new level."
And it has more than evacuation plans. Each school met with emergency responders in the area to map out details like which streets would be closed in an emergency and where emergency helicopters would be directed to land.
Having those details worked out and readily available cuts down on communication time during a crisis, said Tom Hawes, director of emergency management for the Mesa school district.
Emergency personnel "can be preparing a plan of attack before they even get on the scene," Hawes said.
It also gives emergency personnel a view of the campus - an advantage to responders who have never set foot there before, said Scottsdale police Detective Rob Katzaroff, school resource officer at Desert Mountain High School.
Each school on the system includes photos of different vantage points from the campus, including the view a gunman might have from different classrooms and what the emergency power and gas shutoffs look like on each campus. There are even databases of what chemicals are kept where on different campuses.
Prepared Response has been around since about 2000, developing its program in response to the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado, said company spokesman Gary Sabol. It is currently installed in 336 school districts in 12 different states and should be installed in all 1,737 public schools in Washington by the end of the summer.
A growing number of companies are offering similar programs, said Kenneth Trump, president of National School Safety and Security Services, an Ohio-based company that has worked with schools across the country.
And while the concept of the programs is excellent, school districts need to look at the costs and how much of the information they can pull together on their own, too.
"How they do that I think is really the critical issue," Trump said.
Programs have to be maintained with information to be useful, he said.
"One of the first things I ask is, 'What is your backup plan in case the computer system is not functioning in case of an emergency?' " Trump said. "Sometimes just having the good old paper version with accurate information just isn't that bad."
Sackos said that in Scottsdale, one of the biggest advantages of bringing the system online was being forced to go through each campus in detail with emergency responders.
Both Sackos and Hawes admitted that in the most recent emergency situations the two districts faced - a lockdown at two schools in Scottsdale as police searched for a possible gunman near Cocopah Middle School and an evacuation at Mesa's Adams Elementary School after a neighborhood chemical spill - the system wasn't used.
Hawes said Adams acted so quickly that the school had evacuated by the time he spoke to higher administrators and logged onto the system.
And Sackos said Scottsdale didn't need to log onto the system since it had just developed a plan for the schools.
Not to say the district wants another chance to test it.
"We never say never," she said. "We just continue to be as prepared as we possibly can."

Album review
The eponymous 2002 debut from Kinky received plaudits for its startling fourth-world collision of electro-pop, Latin percussion and sundry ethnic elements borrowed from all over the place. This follow-up doesn't pack quite the same spicy punch, perhaps because producer Thom Russo (Audioslave, System Of A Down) is at the helm this time: accordingly, the debut's quirky, multi-faceted pieces have been for the most part supplanted by more direct, hard-rock dynamics. The result is less distinctive but probably more commercial, with much busy riffage and snarling wah-wah guitar over the pounding disco-funk beats of tracks like "Do U Like It?" and "Salta-Lenin-El-Atlas". There's still plenty to enjoy about Atlas—Ulises Lozano's poppy Farfisa organ sound lends a weird, spindly-sounding undertow to some songs, and the band retains their knack for arresting lines like: "My God is so quiet that sometimes I cannot hear Him when he speaks loud."But it's a less daring enterprise overall, one which runs counter to the approving claim in "Presidente" that "you paint everything in colours instead of black and white".

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Alvin, a Los Angeles American Staffordshire Terrier/Dalmatian dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Staffordshire Terrier/Dalmatian for sale in Los Angeles, or seeking a American Staffordshire Terrier/Dalmatian dog from a breeder in Los Angeles.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Los Angeles already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Los Angeles breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Staffordshire Terrier/Dalmatian breeders who help with American Staffordshire Terrier/Dalmatian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Los Angeles paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hi Peter, I have been looking at the Sealy Garden Vine Latex mattress. I
like it but would be interested in one that is slightly firmer. Does
Sealy offer a latex model that is firmer than the Garden Vine? Also, how
well do you think the Sealy Dynasty Cushion Firm Hotel mattress would
hold up to my size at 6'3" and 220 lbs? Thanks, Jay
The Garden Vine (my Beachside) is a plush. The firm in that line is the Weybridge.
Latex will hold up very well to your size. More so than a coiled mattress. You can find pricing on our website.
Thanks, Pete
