TIGER TALES - Mizzou Softball embarks on its eighth season under the guidance of head coach Ehren Earleywine as eight players with starting experience return from the program's sixth consecutive NCAA Super Regional appearance last season. The Tigers head into 2014 with their sights set on a return trip to Oklahoma City and the Women's College World Series. Earleywine led the Tigers to three-straight WCWS appearances from 2009-11.
Earleywine's crew was given preseason rankings of 14th and 17th by the USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 and ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 polls, respectively, marking the fifth-consecutive season that the Tigers begin their season ranked in the Top 15.
Power certainly returns in the lineup for the Tigers, with 2013 co-team leader in home runs, junior 1B Kelsea Roth, in the lineup. Junior 3B/C Angela Randazzo is back after leading Mizzou with 47 RBI. Roth's .696 slugging percentage last season ranked as the eighth-best mark in the Southeastern Conference. Senior OF Mackenzie Sykes provides additional pop (7 HR, 12 2B, .578 SLG in 2013).
New, talented pitchers begin their careers with Mizzou this season. High school All-Americans Tori Finucane and Casey Stangel will look to head the pitching department, with support coming from senior transfer Alora Marble. The former SEMO hurler logged 366.0 innings with a 2.79 ERA from 2011-12. Rounding out the group is freshman 1B/P Jordan Zolman.
Two Tigers that figure to play prominent roles at the top of the order, sophomore 2B/OF Emily Crane and redshirt sophomore SS Sami Fagan, both excelled statistically during their previous seasons of competition. Crane put up a .376 avg./.459 OBP freshman campaign in 2013, while the Florida transfer Fagan hit .378/.440 OBP as a freshman at UF in 2012, making the All-SEC Freshman Team.
Earleywine enters his eighth season leading Mizzou and 11th season as a head softball coach with a major milestone within reach. The former Georgia Tech head coach (2004-06) went 146-55 in Atlanta before returning to his home state to lead the Tigers, winning 326 games to run his career total to 472.
The 2014 season will have a new feeling to many who closely follow the program, as ace pitcher Chelsea Thomas and always reliable batters Nicole Hudson and Jenna Marston no longer appear on Earleywine's lineup card. The graduates left lasting marks on Mizzou, with Thomas becoming the first three-time First Team All-American in program history. She claimed three conference pitcher of the year awards (two in the Big 12, one in the SEC). Thomas finished her Tiger career as the winningest pitcher in school history, with a career mark of 111-31, as well as No. 1 in strikeouts with 1,174.
Hudson and Marston were dynamic at the plate throughout their careers and used strong final seasons at the plate to finish in Mizzou's all-time top 10 in career hits, doubles, at-bats, runs scored, RBI and walks. Hudson (143) and Marston (134) rank No. 1 and No. 2 atop the Tigers' all-time walks chart. Hudson finished one home run shy of matching Jen Bruck (2005-08) for the school's career long ball record of 47, while Marston finished second in both doubles (53) and runs scored (193).
Mizzou's 2013 season was another strong push for the program into the postseason. Earleywine's squad posted a sound 38-14 record on the year - all while the weather did not exactly cooperate. Mizzou lost 14 scheduled games to weather-related conditions throughout the season. But once it became time to play the NCAA Tournament, Mizzou felt right at home. The Tigers have hosted four consecutive NCAA Super Regional rounds at University Field in Columbia, Mo., along with five consecutive NCAA Regionals.

THE OPPOSITION - The Getterman Classic hosted by Baylor runs from Friday, Feb. 14-Sunday, Feb. 16, and features No. 14 Mizzou, Drake, Iowa, Lipscomb, UAB (RV) and the No. 16 host Bears.
UAB has started the 2014 season with a 1-3 record after compiling a solid 40-19 mark last season, which included a NCAA Super Regional appearance. Head coach Marla Townsend is in her 15th season at UAB.
Iowa (2-2), led by Marla Looper (fourth season) took a split at the Carolina Classic to open 2014. The Hawkeyes dropped a close 1-0 result to the SEC's South Carolina during the event. Iowa sported a 30-24 record in 2013.
Lipscomb (4-0) holds the distinction of being the only undefeated squad entering the Getterman Classic. Head coach Kristin Ryman is in her ninth season leading the Bison.
Drake (0-4) returns seven starters from its 2013 squad that posted a 29-20 record. The Bulldogs are led by head coach Rich Calvert, who is in his 11th season leading the program.
No. 16 Baylor (4-1) is fueled by the arm of standout senior LHP Whitney Canion, who pitched to a 24-9 record last season with a 1.94 ERA. Glenn Moore, Baylor's head coach, is in his 14th season at BU.

ARM Holdings plc designs microprocessors, physical intellectual property (IP) and related technology and software, and sells development tools. The company licenses and sells its technology and products to international electronics companies, which in turn manufacture, market and sell microprocessors, application-specific integrated circuits, application-specific standard processors and microcontrollers based on its technology to systems companies for incorporation into various end products. The company also licenses and sells development tools directly to systems companies and provides support services to its licensees, systems companies and other systems designers. Its principal geographic markets are Europe, the United States of America, and the Asia Pacific. Strategy The company's strategy is to create technology that resides at the heart of advanced digital products. It is the company's strategy for its IP to be used by the semiconductor providers to create these digital products. Products and Services The company's comprehensive product offering includes microprocessor Cores: microprocessor cores, including specific functions, such as video and graphics IP and on-chip fabric IP; embedded software; physical IP; development tools; and support and maintenance services. Processor Cores The company focuses on producing microprocessor cores that offer the higher performance. Two features that help achieve this are small die area (chip size), and high code density. ARM Architecture The foundation of the ARM family of processors is its reduced instruction set computing instruction set. The design of the instruction set has two aims: high code density and easy instruction decoding. Architectural Extensions The company's strategy is to develop products incorporating additional features and instruction set enhancements appropriate to application needs, while maintaining a common, general purpose instruction set which provides code compatibility. Architectural extensions are introduced in subsequent versions of the ARM architecture, building on the previous architectures, thus adding backwards code compatibility of new processor cores with older generations. The ARM Microprocessor Families ARM architecture processors offer a range of performance options in the ARM7 family, ARM9 family, ARM11 family, ARM Cortex family and ARM SecurCore family. The ARM architecture gives systems designers a choice of processor cores at different performance/price points, yet all ARM microprocessors use substantially the same instruction set and are capable of running the same software. ARM7 family: The ARM7 family comprises low power, general purpose 32-bit microprocessor cores particularly suitable where strict die area and power constraints must be satisfied while maintaining reasonably high performance, as in portable telecommunications. It is used in embedded control applications. ARM9 family: The ARM9 family comprises a range of microprocessors in the 150-250MHz range. Each processor has been designed for a specific application or function, such as an application processor for a feature phone or running a WiFi protocol stack. ARM11 family: The ARM11 family consists of a range of microprocessors in the 300-600MHz range. Each processor has been designed for a specific application or function, such as an application processor for a smartphone or controlling the engine management system in a car. ARM Cortex family: This is ARM's newest family of processor cores. The family is split into three series, such as A Series targeting applications processors running complex operating systems; R Series targeting real time deeply embedded markets and running real time operating systems; and M Series addressing the needs of the low cost microcontroller markets. Graphics and Video IP ARM develops graphics accelerator IP and software for semiconductor system-on-chip (SoC) vendors that deliver multimedia images without compromising performance, power consumption or system cost. The company's IP provides 3D graphics solutions suitable for mobile phones, portable media players, set-top boxes, handheld gam

In San Francisco, a Voice of Moderation That's Often Unwelcome
December 1, 2012 6:00 PMSAN FRANCISCO -- As soon as the San Francisco Board of Supervisors narrowly approved a ban on public nudity last month, booing filled the ornate Beaux-Arts legislative chamber in City Hall. Half a dozen opponents sprung up from the auditorium's oak benches and began casting off their clothes, hurling invectives at a figure seated up front.
"Down with Wiener! Wiener is a clone! Wiener is a Republican!" shouted a middle-aged man who had stripped down, first to a pair of white briefs with a hole in the back and then, finally, to nothing at all.
"Recall Wiener, recall the clone! C-l-o-n-e. Clone!"
That would be Scott Wiener, 42, a Harvard Law-educated first-term supervisor, archenemy of the Bay Area's radical nudists and, for the record, a lifelong Democrat.
Mr. Wiener sponsored the antinudity legislation after a public square in the Castro, which is part of his district, became a daily hangout for a group of exhibitionists called the Naked Guys. The ordinance, expected to go into effect in January, will allow nudity at the annual gay pride parade, however, as well as at an annual leather and fetish street fair.
The close vote -- 6 to 5 -- pointed to a larger tug of war between the city's left-leaning forces and its moderate bloc. It also hinted at the major role Mr. Wiener has played in pulling the Board of Supervisors toward the middle by focusing on quality-of-life issues, even as Mayor Edwin M. Lee has made emphasizing San Francisco's friendliness to business a priority.
"It's a very emotional issue for people on both sides -- people who think it's just absolutely the worst thing that they have to see in the neighborhood, and the people who just passionately believe this is what San Francisco is all about," Mr. Wiener said.
He cheerfully conceded that, at least for now, the antinudity ordinance has eclipsed his legislative record of the past two years. He is the board's second-most-prolific supervisor, having sponsored successful bills on issues ranging from housing and transportation to dog walkers and food trucks.
"He is certainly the driving force of the moderate members of the board," said Corey Cook, an associate professor of politics at the University of San Francisco.
Mr. Wiener, who grew up near Philadelphia and came out during his undergraduate years at Duke University, first visited San Francisco in 1993.
"As a gay man, San Francisco has a meaning in terms of a place where you can be yourself," he said, recalling his amazement at being in the Castro in 1993, even though the neighborhood was suffering under the AIDS epidemic.
After Mr. Wiener moved to San Francisco in 1997, he worked for a private law firm and then as a lawyer for the city before deciding to run for supervisor in District 8 in 2010.
By then, an increasing number of straight people, including couples with children, had moved to the Castro. Like many other neighborhoods, the Castro went through gentrification, which forced many longtime residents to move out.
Cleve Jones, a longtime Castro resident and gay rights activist who worked with Harvey Milk, a city supervisor who was killed in 1978, said he did not support Mr. Wiener in 2010 because he believed that the candidate's policies favored businesspeople and developers. Mr. Jones said that overdevelopment, not the antinudity ban, threatened the character of the Castro.
"Many people who are supporting the band of nudists who have made their beachhead here clearly believe that encouraging this behavior will somehow help keep the neighborhood gay," he said. "Now I don't understand this equation between naked and gay."
Mr. Wiener said he had taken on the nudists only reluctantly.
"For a year, I had people just pounding on me," he said. " 'Why aren't you doing something about this? If you don't get rid of this, I'm never supporting you again.' Then when I stated publicly that I was considering legislation to restrict it, other people were telling me, 'If you do this, I'm never supporting you again.'
"It got to the point where it was a lose-lose for me, so I just ended up doing what I thought was best for the neighborhood."
Whether the legislation was, in fact, a lose-lose for Mr. Wiener remains a matter of debate. It further raised his visibility, as well as the chatter surrounding his political future.
"He's well positioned to run for higher office," Mr. Cook said. "San Francisco has moved as a city in a more moderate direction in the last half-decade, and as a result there is a lot of frustration not just in his district but around the city about quality-of-life issues. So that puts him in the center of San Francisco politics."
