If you have symptoms of PID or a STD, do not use any douche product and see a doctor right away.
I love this bag in every way.
Zonite really is a great product that I'm so glad I found. Although I talked with my doctor about using zonite, I've decided that I MUST do something about the odor issue associated with intercourse. As we all know, frequent intercourse carries with it a personal cleanliness problem and I'm living proof that Zonite solves that problem without any adverse effects. I'm absolutely sold.
Well made in Taiwan not China. Has quality parts. Filled easily. Pipes are good, especially the douche nozzle gave a great enema for my boyfriend.
Why the heck do Drs tell us not to douche? I've used Zonite for the past year and have not had problem one. Finally ran out so now I must order more. Zonite is wonderful. It is safe and works extremely well. My boyfriend says I am so much more appealing since I started using Zonite. Really, ladies, it is excellent and solves our very special odor problem safely. And by the way, a friend told me "not to worry about the PH issue but to focus in on the PU problem instead." She was so right. Now that my PU problem has been solved, my love life has never been better.
Ladies, this is the best syringe made. I've searched long and hard and I believe this is the perfect size for the job. The nozzle fits just right and I love the clean feeling I have when used with Zonite douche concentrate. The best part is that my husband also loves this syringe as it does such a thorough job.

The text below is an excerpt from the complete document. Read the full paper in PDF format.
Recent policy reports claim the United States is falling behind other nations in science and math education and graduating insufficient numbers of scientists and engineers. Review of the evidence and analysis of actual graduation rates and workforce needs does not find support for these claims. U.S. student performance rankings are comparable to other leading nations and colleges graduate far more scientists and engineers than are hired each year. Instead, the evidence suggests targeted education improvements are needed for the lowest performers and demand-side factors may be insufficient to attract qualified college graduates.
Policymakers and industry leaders are once again concerned about the adequacy of the science and engineering (S&E) workforce. A growing number of reports claim that a lack of sufficient numbers of scientists and engineers entering the workforce is threatening the United States' economic health and dominant position in global innovation. The primary causes of an impending workforce shortage, it is argued, are the mediocre preparation of domestic students in the educational pipeline and an ongoing decline in their interest in pursuing S&E careers. To address the assumed crisis, the consensus recommendation of business groups, public policymakers, and educators is to expand and improve science and math education from kindergarten through college, and to more aggressively court foreign S&E students and workers.
This paper examines the assumptions about the state of the educational pipeline and the purported workforce shortages. Despite this nearly universal support for upgrading science and math education, our review of the data leads us to conclude that, while the educational pipeline would benefit from improvements, it is not as dysfunctional as believed. Today's American high school students actually test as well or better than students two decades ago. Further, today's students take more science and math classes, and a large number of students with strong science and math backgrounds graduate from U.S. high schools and start college in S&E fields of study. Graduate schools have an ample pool of qualified four-year graduates to draw from but seem unable or unwilling to do so. Surprisingly few of the many students who start along the path toward S&E careers take the next steps to remain in an S&E career. If there is a problem, it is not one of too few S&E qualified college graduates but, rather, the inability of S&E firms to attract qualified graduates. The pool of graduates with an S&E degree exceeds the number of S&E job openings each year, even though employers may not be as successful as they would like in attracting or retaining graduates into an S&E career.
The various policy reports focusing on increasing the science and math preparation at the K–12 level almost uniformly fail to ask the question our analysis suggests—has the increase in the absolute numbers of secondary school graduates and the increase in their math and science performance levels provided an adequate number of domestic S&E college majors?
The pool of S&E-qualified secondary and postsecondary graduates is several times larger than the number of annual job openings. The flow of secondary school students up through the S&E pipeline, when it reaches the labor market, supplies occupations that make up only about a twentieth of all workers. So even if there were deficiencies in students' average science and math performance, such deficiencies would not necessarily deplete the requisite supply of S&E college majors. Even if modal test scores or course-taking was by some measure low, the size of the graduating student body is so large that there would still be a sufficient number of students who test above average and who are fully qualified for the relatively small number of S&E jobs. While improving average math and science education at the K–12 level may be warranted for other reasons, such a strategy may not be the most efficient means of supplying the S&E workforce.
Our analysis at the aggregate level does not find a shortage of potential S&E students or workers. However, this conclusion is put forth with one caveat: the analysis of all S&E students and workers may not apply equally to the trends and problems faced in specific fields or by domestic minority groups. A fine-grained analysis of specific industries, occupations, and populations is needed to identify the weakness in the U.S. education system. We are, indeed, conducting this level of analysis for future reports. The S&E world includes a broad range of knowledge, types of related jobs, and a great diversity of students and workers with academic performance and employment trends different from the overall averages. A better understanding of S&E workforce demand and education and workforce development will identify areas where public and private policy could be most effectively targeted.

Comfy Couch Pet Bed
My dog love's it!
We had another dog bed that our dog never touched. She loved this one from the moment we took it out of the box. She loves to curl up in it and rest her head over the side. The color fits in with our decor very nicely and you can't beat the price compared to other dog beds I've researched.
December 8, 2009
True Canine Comfort!
I wish I hadn't waited so long to purchase the Comfy Pet Couch for our two furry family members. They absolutely love the luxuriously plush gift they were recently presented with! I only wish Frontgate made an adult sized couch for me!
December 7, 2009
Surprisngly comfortable
Couldn't believe how fast our lab, who only wants to sleep in a people bed, took to this bed. Soft, warm, and attractive. A great purchase!
December 7, 2009
My Pups Love It ....
My pups absolutely love their little sofa. They love the way it wraps around them & it must be terribly comfy as much time as they spend snozing there. The fabric is exceptional & coordinated wonderfully with our family room ... doesn't look out of place like most pet beds. Great product!
December 5, 2009
Happy Dog Bed
These beds are so dense and thick. My dogs just love them. My only issue is that the fabric is not durable for my puppy who likes to chew and grab.
December 5, 2009
Best bed to snuggle up in
Our 75lb boxer is so happy. Took him a day to figure it was his and he just curled up and looked so happy. He rests his head on the bone pillow on the floor!! But curls up in the cutest positons in his new bed replacing an old fashioned round floppy bed which he is donating to a less fortunate guy. Thanks we love the bed.
December 4, 2009
My dog LOVES it
The ad line was right. Since sleeping on the Comfy Pet Couch, my dog has never tried to get on the furniture again.
I love it! He loves! and the quality is so good that I'm sure it will last for his life.
December 4, 2009
like style
We like the dog bed and the fabric is soft, and she likes the style
December 3, 2009
comfy dog bed
My black lab, Drake, loves his new sofa bed. He rests his head on the arm of the "sofa".
Had to wait a very long time for the bed as it was back-ordered, but it is a very high quality dog bed and the price was right.
December 3, 2009
great purchase
Our dogs love this bed and immediately jumped and took a big snooze. It appears to be of very good quality and I recommend it highly.
December 3, 2009
Nice and Comfy
I first purchased the medium bed and needed to return it for the large. My dog, Brodie who weighs just 35lbs, likes to sleep laying on his side stretched out not curled. I should have known and purchased the large first so that he would have plenty of room. Frontgate folks were very helpful in the exchange and did not charge me for the additional delivery. Read the description carefully before you purchase, the dimensions are exterior not the actual sleeping area. Don't make my mistake.
One thing that I would change is the thickness of the loose cushion. I will need to add another pillow below it to raise it up just a little.
December 3, 2009
Outstanding product
The quality of this product is outstanding. I even tried it out and found it very comfortable.
Our dog, Pepper, black lab mix, really loves it and looks like a queen when she lies down on it. At other times she looks like a totally zonked out bum, all stretched out and totally oblivious to whatever is going on. The craftsmanship seems to be excellent as well with the frim structure and materials. LIke that the cover can be unzipped and washed. Am looking forward to years of functionality. Thanks so much fo all the high end quality products you offer.
December 3, 2009
One of the beds I purchased was a size medium suited for a dog 35 - 45 lbs. It is too small for my 36 lb Border Collie & I plan on sending back for an exchange for a large. The other medium I purchased worked for my other dog @ 26 lbs.
December 2, 2009
very disappointed in our first purchase of above dog bed-size was not as advertised nor did it come with the dog name inprinted as indicated in the catalogue.
December 2, 2009
Owner of a very happy pet!
My dog roscoe is an 80lb Lab mix and absolutly loves his bed! He never wants to get out of it! Very high quality fabric and appearance! I would recommend this to everyone!
December 2, 2009
My dog's new love!
I purchased this for my 8 year old Jack Russell who has slept in our bed since she was 6 weeks old. She had injured her shoulder when she was younger and after getting a bed that was much higher off the ground we wanted her to be safe, so we purchased the comfy pet couch. She has never liked 'dog beds' so I took a chance - the first day we had it she spent the ENTIRE day lounging in it! When we say time for bed she is the first one upstairs and is already settled in by the time we get up there. It is extremely well made and unbelievably soft. Best pooch purchase ever!!!
December 2, 2009
Comfy Pet Couch is......Comfy!!
I have a 80# Redbone Coonhound who is aging and has earned a comfortable place to rest while I read and knit. I've tried several dog pillows but this new one is the creme de la creme! Cushy but supportive, friendly but practical, for animals but fits into my better decor. What more could a girl ask? Thanks, Frontgate!
December 2, 2009
Best dog bed
This dog "couch" is so fluffy and welcoming to our pets. It even looks nice in our family room.
December 2, 2009
great dog bed
The bed I purchased for my two bulldogs was the XL comfy couch. They love the couch! The only problem I have is that I purchased an additional dog bone pillow. Well, since the bed was backordered twice, they insisted on sending me the other pillow I purchased immediately. Therefore, when I did receive the rest of my order, the pillow did not match at all in color. Let me know what to do. I want it all to match. It is suppose to be the same color.
December 1, 2009
dog bed
I bought this on a whim to see if I could get my dog to sleep somewhere other than my bed but didn't think it would work. It arrived and I took it out of the box and threw it on the kitchen floor so I could tear the box apart. I turned around and my dog had already layed down and gotten comfy! We finally get our own bed to ourselves and don't feel guilty because our dog has her own comfy bed and it looks great too.
December 1, 2009
A white art glass elephant with black stripes.
This is my third pet bed purchase and this one is better than I expected. I put the bed under my glass desk and it is perfect for my two Yorkies to lounge on during the day. It has a soft and cozy feeling to the touch. My two Yorkies love their pet beds. However, this one is large enought for the two of them to stretch out and be comfortable. Soft yet fim enough. Excellent craftsmanship.
December 1, 2009
Good comfy dog bed
I have a retired Greyhound that weighs 86lbs so I bought the extra large. Have to say I thought it would have been slightly larger and wish it were. The bottom cushion did not have a zipper so being "chocolate" I'm wiping it off a lot. Also, it your dog is a "nester" and digs around before laying down the cusion is always popping out. I do think the closness of it keeps him warmer but will need something else for the hot summer. Overall, it is a good bed.
December 1, 2009
quality made
product is durable, soft and pets fell right asleep first time I introduced it to them! Only thing I haven't figured out is how to wash the inside cushion ... there is no zipper.
November 30, 2009
My dogs love it!!!!
The bed was on back order for quite a while and we were just about to cancel and order from somewhere else when it was delivered. I am so glad we waited! Our 12 year old golden retriever LOVES this bed, as do our two pugs! Our dogs love it and even our kids curl up in it and they are 15 and 18! Great purchase!
November 30, 2009
DOG sofa
Comfy pet couch ... Barely out of the cardboard box and the black lab was on top of it! Looks great with 'people furniture' Big enough for a full grown Lab and his owner to enjoy together ! Not quite sure how well the fabric will hold up to rough play, and ocasionally muddy paws, but so far, so good...
November 30, 2009
Your Pet Deserves the Best
Excellent workmanship. Quality material. Our small dog took to his new bed immediately. This speaks for itself. Highly recommend
November 29, 2009
Comfy Pet Couch is a Winner
Maya loves her couch. She uses it both with and without the pillow. She is a 9 month old Brittany, about 25 pounds with very long legs, and fits in the medium size couch nicely. Her brother, Max, the cat, wanted to keep the couch for his own, but no deal. We recommend it highly because Maya has not been able to chew through it, and she has tried!
November 29, 2009
Cushy, comfortable and well-made
It took my 83-lb Golden Retriever a couple of days to gravitate to this new bed. He is not allowed on any furniture and the bed looks like a comfy couch. A very well-made, comfy couch. I think that's why he didn't jump right in.
Now it's his favorite place to lay, relax, curl up, and just snuggle in for an afternoon siesta or his good nights' sleep.
The funniest thing is everyone who comes over wants to try it out themselves! Even our two Maine Coon cats sleep in it when Walker's not around.
He . . . WE love it!
November 29, 2009
A dog bed fit for royalty
I recently purchased your dog bed for my lab. This is the type of item I have purchased many times over the years for both my dogs and cats. This bed however is my favorite and clearly the favorite of my lab. She loves her new bed and there is even enough room for her to share it with her yorkie sister. Is is well made and the pillow is cute too. I even ordered an additional one for my yorkie. An excellent gift for a much loved girl.
November 28, 2009
Best purchase ever, the dog loves it.............
I could not be happier with the dog bed...I purchased the med. one and our granddog is about 23 pounds, and fits into it just perfect...

We are about to witness a most extraordinary moment in human history, according to Scottish author and artist, Benjamin Creme.
All the major religions await the return of a teacher under various names: Christians await the Christ, Jews await the Messiah; Buddhists await the 5th Buddha, or Maitreya Buddha; Hindus await Krishna, or Kalki Avatar; and Muslims await the Imam Mahdi. From the estoteric perspective, these are simply different names for one and the same World Teacher, who comes not as a religious enforcer but as an educator and guide for the new age we are currently entering. Since 1977, by means of public lectures, numerous media interviews, books, and serving as chief editor of a monthly publication called Share International, Mr. Creme has sought to inform the public about the return of this awaited Teacher, to use a Biblical phrase, "like a thief in the night" into the modern world. Very soon, it is said, humanity will realize an unusually wise man of extraordinary spiritual stature is among them, calling for a new and better way to live together as one human race. Christ has returned, at this pivotal moment in time, to inspire humanity to solve its most urgent global problems such as hunger, war, division, and environmental degradation.
To be sure, Creme's information presents a sharp contrast from the apocalyptic doomsday scenario which has unfortunately pervaded the minds of many modern day churchgoers. On the contrary, this is nothing less than a message of great hope for all who worry about the future, whether they are religious or non-religious.
A full explanation involves much more information than can be written here; therefore, readers are encouraged to do additional research on their own. As Creme advises in his lectures, it's not important whether you believe the information is true or not. What's probably best is to neither accept nor reject it outright, but to simply keep an open mind about such ideas which may prove to be relevant before long.
Signs of the Times
Miracles have flooded the world for decades, generating a sense of wonder and expectation. Many of these signs have caused Christians to deeply ponder on their meaning.
Photo courtesy of labyrinthina.com (1)
- Images of Christ-like figures have miraculously shown up in photographs
- In the United States, Russia, Europe, and elsewhere, statues have been found weeping real tears, oil or blood
- Giant crosses of light have been discovered on glass panes in churches and ordinary people's homes
- Milk-drinking statues in India gained worldwide media attention in 1995
- Healing wells of water have been discovered in Mexico, Germany and India, attracting thousands of people. Many miraculous cures have resulted from people drinking this water
- Mysterious and beautiful patterns of light have been photographed on buildings and pavements in dozens of countries
One of many photographs of the 'star-like luminary', in this case resembling a cross shape. (Filmed on October 10, 2009 in Samnanger, Norway) - One of the most impressive signs as of late, predicted in a December 2008 press release from Share International, is a mysterious "star-like luminary" that has been appearing in skies everywhere, said to be acting as a modern-day "Star of Bethlehem" to herald the return of Christ
Christ's Message: Sharing = Peace
The one known as Christ is also referred to, by some, as Maitreya (pronounced "my-tray-uh"), which is the personal name for the unconditionally loving Teacher who is the head representative of the Spiritual Hierarchy. Maitreya, the Christ, comes not as a religious leader preaching religious dogma, but simply as a spokesperson and guide, representing people of all backgrounds, colors and beliefs. He comes at the end of this current age - the Age of Pisces - in order to inaugurate a new era - the Age of Aquarius - where peace will be established by means of economic and social justice, sharing, freedom and international cooperation. In His many messages released through Creme by way of a process called "overshadowing", Maitreya, the Christ, has stated how He seeks to instill in us a new sense of livingness. As the book of John put it in the New Testament, He is here to bring humanity that "life more abundantly."
Christ comes to offer an alternative to the system of greed, speculation, and dangerous divisions and tension among nations. What else would we expect from the same great figure who spoke 2,000 years ago of the need to share with the poor and forgotten? In one of Christ's messages (released through Creme) He says, "I need your help to come before you, to bless this world and teach, to show men that the way forward is simple, requires only the acceptance of Justice and Freedom, Sharing and Love. These aspects are already within you and need only to be evoked by Me."
Sharing, He says, is divine. "When you share, you recognize God in your brother...Take your brother's need as the measure for your action, and solve the problems of the world. There is no other course." (2)
Very soon, Christ will begin His emergence into the public arena. According to Creme, we will first see Him interviewed on a major US television network, appearing as an ordinary man concerned with modern-day problems. Eventually, after speaking more and more in various countries, He will be called by all the major media networks to address everyone around the world simultaneously. On this day, known as the "Day of Declaration", people everywhere will see him via the linked TV stations. In this way, the Biblical prophecy that "every eye shall see Him" will play out as predicted. On this day, millions of spontaneous miracle cures will be reported and people will be filled with the energy of heart-felt love for their brothers and sisters.
Look for a man calling for an end to war, for justice and peace through wealthy nations sharing their excess with the poorest nations who have millions of citizens starving to death in a world of plenty. It is this "crime" of separation and injustice that moves Him to act with urgency. He will not be introduced as the very special person he is, being called "the Christ" or any special title or reference to some high spiritual stature. It will be up to each of us to recognize Him for who He is, inwardly.

The Perfect Home Library Joan from Sedona, AZ– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer The bookcase is sturdy and meant to last. I bought this for my daughter when she was only two-years-old. Back then, it only housed a few bedtime stories. Over time, it has facilitated a growing library of new reader books. The storage compartments are perfectly sized for puzzles, games, and art supplies. I like that her playthings can be stored in one area of the bedroom. This makes clean-up a breeze. |
Ms. Gagandeep from Brampton, ON– Verified Buyer This unit is great for any kids room...bedroom or playroom with plenty of room for books and storage. There were a few damaged pieces when it arrived. However, I had no issues getting a replacement unit. Easy to assemble and looks great. There's plenty of room for all my son's books. It's really handy as he's able to see the cover of the book and take out the one he wants to read instead of making a mess of them trying to find his book. Overall, a great purchase and well worth the money. |
Love Shaleka from Brooklyn, NY– Verified Buyer I love this book case so much. I couldn't wait for it to come. When I got it ,it was better then I thought it would be. Perfect size and height. Great color! |
Best Purchase Boney Mountain View from Newbury Park, CA– Verified Buyer I recently purchased a lot of this style furniture made by ECR & Jonti-Craft, but this is my favorite piece. The books look great on display, and the unit is large (preferred). |
AWESOME book display Michael from United States– Verified Buyer Before we got this book display I had such a hard time getting my girls to read books... As soon as they were able to see the fronts of the books using this display they were instantly more interested. It's such a blessing and keeps things organized. For the price especially, WE LOVE this thing. |
colorful essentials book display wstorage-6 compartment jennifer from cypress, TX– Verified Buyer I have been looking for a bookcase for a long time, this one is perfect...displays most of our library, and we use the storage underneath for the odd shaped books and puzzles. My daughter picks a different book each night for bedtime, love it... |
well made, great for kids to reach Priya from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer Bought this for use in a pediatric office. It's a great way for kids to access books themselves and the piece is heavy and very sturdy. Easy to put together but took about 30-40 minutes. My only complaint is that the laminate chips easily. |
Great!!! chris from Nj– Verified Buyer Awesome!! Great colors, lots of storage on the bottom for puzzles and nice size for larger books |
great quality Jamie from Anderson, IN– Verified Buyer This is for my daycare home. It is great looking with plenty of storage! |
Great and sturdy! Rebekah from Pearland, TX– Verified Buyer This is perfect for books & is great for display. Very sturdy! |

BioFuel Energy's CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
All of our assets performed well during the quarter, and the benefit we had from strong ditillers pricing and as well our corn oil revenue that was realized over the full quarters did help to mitigate the loss during these historically low crush margins.
Later in the call, we'll talk about the ongoing drought, but we do expect to have advantage as the harvest progresses here in the next month or so as the local crop around both of our plants remaining in good shape. In Nebraska, it is irrigated all around our facilities and southern Minnesota has some decent moisture levels and has not experienced the drought going on throughout most of the corn belt.
There is a little question in our view that the key reason for the continued lag in the industry's profitability and low crush margins, the high level of ethanol inventories that were carried over from the previous quarter and the industry continued to over produce well in to the second quarter.
Towards the end of the quarter, we did finally see a pullback in production, which has continued in to the third quarter. We also saw corn basis levels that rose through the quarter, exceeding historical averages.
We believe that this in part is a result that farmers increased on farm storage, spreading out their corn sales across the year in limiting supply. Because the Chicago board corn ethanol crush spreads remained range bound, this trend towards rising local corn bases put additional pressure on margins as the quarter progressed. This basis pressure was a key driver in our decision to scale back in mid-June which I will also cover some of the rationale behind that later. But I am going to turn it over to Kelly to go through the financial results for the second quarter.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Tastykake And Hershey's® Launch New Kandy Bar Kakes
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- This Halloween, Tastykake is joining forces with North America's largest chocolate manufacturer, The Hershey Company, to introduce a delicious new treat that combines the "best of both worlds." New Kandy Bar Kakes are the perfect blend of cake and candy, made with real quality ingredients and featuring HERSHEY'S ® most popular flavors.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121015/CL92906)
"Tastykake is thrilled to partner with HERSHEY'S® to introduce the new and innovative Kandy Bar Kakes, perfect for the Halloween season," says Brent Bradshaw, the vice president of marketing for Flowers Foods cake brands. " HERSHEY'S ® incredible brand recognition, along with the renowned freshness and deliciousness of Tastykake, will ensure Kandy Bar Kakes become family favorites."
Each Kandy Bar Kake is baked to perfection and has the sensational flavor of HERSHEY'S ® in every bite. Kandy Bar Kake varieties include S'mores Kandy Bar Kake made with HERSHEY'S ® Cocoa, Peanut Butter Kandy Bar Kake made with REESE'S ® Peanut Butter, and Peppermint Kandy Bar Kake made with YORK ® Peppermint Flavor.
With Halloween just around the corner, Tastykake has dreamed up frightfully delightful dessert ideas to transform any Halloween celebration into a sweet affair. These fun, simple and affordable dessert tips are perfect for families planning the ultimate Halloween party.- Coffin Cakes: These terrifying treats are made with Peppermint Kandy Bar Kakes and ready-made chocolate frosting. With a knife, trim the long edges of the cake into a coffin shape and cover the entire cake with chocolate frosting. For that final frightening touch, outline the cake with white icing and spell out R.I.P. at the top.
- Spooky S'more Pops: Campfire ghost stories are the inspiration behind this Halloween treat. Cut in half a S'mores Kandy Bar Kake and insert a lollipop stick into each half. Cover the entire cake with marshmallow fluff, making sure to coat a portion of the lollipop stick. Roll the cake in crumbled graham crackers and place in the freezer for 15 minutes until the marshmallow and graham cracker coating hardens.
- Creepy Crawly Cake Bites: Satisfy even the most ghoulish guests with bite-sized treats made with the Peanut Butter Kandy Bar Kake. Simply cut the cake in half width-wise, place four licorice pieces into each side for legs, and top with two candy corns for eyes to create a creepy crawly spider.
- Devilish Dirt Cups: Make guests squirm with delicious "dirt" cups made with any of the Kandy Bar Kakes. Crumble the cakes into small pieces and mix with chocolate pudding. Top the cake mixture with a few colorful gummy worms and serve in petite mason jars for a trendy touch.

Bays, Eclipse, Texans win titles
LANCASTER, Mass. -- Sunday's U.S. Youth Soccer national finals featured something old and something new.
Colorado Rush Nike (Colo.), Eclipse Select (Ill.), Dallas Texans (Texas) and Casa Mia Bays (Md.) added to their legacies, while national tournament newcomer DSC 90 Green (S.C.) finished a storybook season with the South Carolina's first national crown and FC Bucks Vipers (Pa.) claimed the state's first-ever girls' crown at Citizens Bank Fields at Progin Park.
DSC Green used goals by Enzo Martinez and Juan Velasquez, both assisted by Robbie Benson, and the team's defense held up under late pressure for a 2-1 victory over Javanon SC (Ky.) in the under-18 boys' national final. The victory caps a 36-0 spring/summer for DSC coach Dom Wren, who earlier guided Northwestern High School (Rock Hill, S.C.) to a 24-0-0 season and an ESPN RISE FAB 50 national No. 1 ranking in the spring. With seven players from the high school team, DSC's winning ways continued through the state cup, region cup and national tournament -- another run of 12 straight victories.
"Right now, I can't really explain it," Wren said, shortly after getting the ceremonial postgame water dousing. "This won't sink in for a while. You see people on TV win championships and say they're speechless, and I'm sitting at home saying, 'Yeah, right.' But it's true. I'm just very proud to create history today."
"I can't believe it -- two national titles in one year, high school and club," said Martinez, who was a four-year high school player of the year and signed with the University of North Carolina. "I'm so happy. With the (club) team we've had, we've been knocking on the door, and we kept trying, and we finally got what we deserved today."
In other early finals Sunday, FC Bucks Vipers used a second-half goal by Madlyn Evans for a 1-0 victory over Ohio Elite in the under-18 girls' national final. The win marked the first girls' national crown for Pennsylvania after 15 boys' titles.
"I felt I had a lot of opportunities, and there's a joke on the team that I only make the unrealistic shot," Evans said. "So I took that shot and it ended up looking nice," she added about her 52nd minute strike that proved to be the match-winner.
"It's been a hell of a ride," added Vipers forward Kaitlyn Kerr, whose high school team, Pennington School (Pennington, N.J.), was the FAB 50 fall No. 1 last school year. "We're not a team of superstars. We only have two players with national team experience. But we fit so well together and the team unity is the best."
The most dramatic boys' soccer finish of the day took place in the under-17 boys' final between CZ Elite (Calif.) and Triangle United (N.C.). CZ Elite scored on its first three shots for a surprising 3-0 lead over favored Triangle United only 26 minutes into the match. Chad Drimer scored for Triangle in the 88th minute, and two minutes later, teammate Sebastian Garner finished a penalty kick to pull Traingle within 3-2. In stoppage time, Drimer placed a header on goal that CZ Elite keeper Adrian Garcia tipped upward. The ball hit the crossbar and eventually was cleared by a CZ Elite defender to preserve the victory.
Brandon Perez's goal in the 56th minute was enough to carry the Dallas Texans Red (Texas) to a 1-0 victory over the Hicksville Strikers (N.Y.) in the under-16 boys' final. The victory marked the Texans' sixth national boys' title, at the time matching the Casa Mia Bays for second-most ever behind the seven won by FC Delco (Pa.). Casa Mia Bays, however, later won the under-19 crown to pull into a tie with FC Delco with seven national titles.
Brendan Klebanoff scored in the 45th minute and Mark Jaskolski added an insurance marker in the 89th minute as the Casa Mia Bays captured the under-19 title with a 2-0 victory over NASA Elite (Ga.). The win was seventh U.S. Youth Soccer national title for the Bays and the eighth overall national crown. This Bays under-19 team holds three of the club's titles.
On the girls' side, De Anza Force (Calif.) shattered the title dreams of long shot Ponte Vedra Storm (Fla.) in a 1-0 finish in the under-16 final. Lorin Hom netted the deciding goal in the 42nd minute. Ponte Vedra was aiming to become the first national champion from Florida since 1995.
The Colorado Rush Nike under-19 girls repeated as national champions in dramatic fashion. The team scored three overtime goals to defeated Eclipse Select 4-2 in a match that was scoreless until the 86th minute.
The result gave the Rush a record ninth girls' soccer national title, one more than the Dallas Sting.
Danielle Foxhoven gave the Rush a 1-0 lead in the 86th minute as the team appeared headed for victory. However, Candace Ruff scored in extra time for Eclipse to send the match to overtime.
Kathryn Russell and Foxhoven scored in the first 15-minute overtime session to give Rush a 3-1 lead. Eclipse pulled within 3-2 on a Jessica Price goal, but Foxhoven responded a minute later to finish the scoring.
The under-17 girls' final featured a pair of club powerhouses in Eclipse Select and PDA Fire (N.J.). However, Eclipse made it a non-contest early in the match en route to a 4-0 victory, which made amends for last year's national runner-up finish.
"Last year we gave up a goal in the final 10 minutes and lost 3-2 in the national final," Eclipse Select coach Rory Dames recalled. "I think the disappointment from last year really drove them this year."
Vanessa Laxgang gave Eclipse a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute. Kelsey Hough pushed the advantage to 2-0 five minutes later. Samantha Scofield added a pair of second-half goals to cap the rout.
"Last year was the worst feeling ever," Eclipse defender Chelsea Grant said. "We were so much more ready for this year. I'm going to live with this feeling the rest of my life."

DeWitt ready to cover new ground
Dodgers are still strong defensively but have a question mark in the middle
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- In the 53-year history of baseball's Gold Glove, an award given to no fewer than 18 players every season, the honor has been bestowed on a Dodgers second baseman three times, including the one earned by Orlando Hudson in 2009 in his only season with the club. As the team goes through its final preparations in advance of next week's season opener, there doesn't seem to be anyone in the organization -- including, presumably, Blake DeWitt himself -- who believes the fourth time will come this year.
For the Dodgers, there has been an unusual amount of focus this spring on second base, where DeWitt appears to be the likely choice for the everyday job. He doesn't have Hudson's athleticism or his penchant for highlight-reel plays, and he certainly doesn't have Hudson's experience or his instincts.
And still, after a full spring training, the move is being made with many crossed fingers.
In 2009, the Dodgers committed the fourth fewest errors of any team in the National League. This season, they return seven of their eight starting position players, including a reigning Gold Glove winner in center fielder Matt Kemp, a potential Gold Glove winner in first baseman James Loney and one of the slickest-fielding shortstops in the game in Rafael Furcal.
"Defense was one of our strengths last year," Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said. "With the exception of second base, I think we actually might be, overall, a tad better defensively than we were last year. I am basing that on the bench we have and the ability of those players to play a lot of different positions and play them well."
So why, then, is everyone so worried about second base?
Well, for starters, it's one of those spots where a player who is a defensive liability gets exposed very quickly. A pitcher can throw a perfect pitch in a key situation and get a batter to hit a weak grounder up the middle, but if the second baseman can't get to it, it's through for a base hit. A pitcher can induce a tailor-made, double-play grounder to short to escape a bases-loaded, one-out jam, but if the second baseman isn't experienced at turning the pivot with a sliding baserunner barreling toward him and trying to knock him down, there is a decent chance that second baseman will make an off-balance throw to first or no throw at all and eventually wind up on his keister.
To be fair, the Dodgers also won a division title in 2008 with the aging Jeff Kent playing second base most of the time, and DeWitt has at least as much range as Kent had. And in those 29 regular-season games in which DeWitt has appeared at second base, he has made just two errors in 108 chances.

Each time, he handled it flawlessly. But it remains a small sample size.
"He has been pretty good at second base," Colletti said. "But the game hasn't provided a lot of the tougher opportunities to show where he is. It isn't his fault, but those situations just haven't materialized. So that is still out there a little bit, at least in my mind."
DeWitt has shown flashes of brilliance this spring, including in the Dodgers' first Cactus League game on March 5, when he made a leaping catch behind the bag to take a hit from Paul Konerko of the Chicago White Sox. But DeWitt also has committed three errors, all of which came on fairly routine grounders and all of which involved faulty footwork.
Or, more specifically, inexperienced footwork.
DeWitt will be a work in progress, but Colletti and manager Joe Torre are convinced that if DeWitt has a chance to play every day, he will hit well enough to justify whatever risk is involved in sticking him at second base.
The Dodgers appear to be in good shape everywhere else. Catcher Russell Martin is a former Gold Glove winner, but his defense has declined along with his offense over the past two years, a sign he might be letting his frustrations when he is standing over the plate affect him when he is squatting behind it. Loney is as good as they come at first base, and Casey Blake is solid at third even if his range is such that Furcal has to provide most of the coverage on the left side.
Manny Ramirez is always an adventure in left field, but the fleet Kemp can make up for a lot of what Ramirez can't cover in left-center. Andre Ethier has developed over the past couple of years into an above-average right fielder.
The Dodgers are still a good defensive club, but the spotlight will be squarely focused on DeWitt. To his credit, DeWitt has always seemed unaffected by that spotlight. An inability to relax and focus isn't his problem. The most likely scenario is that he will struggle at first, continue to take early grounders whenever he can find a coach to hit them to him, gradually get more comfortable and eventually become a serviceable big league second baseman.
Until then, Colletti and Torre are willing to show patience with him, for better or worse.
