The Five: Why the Phoenix Suns reached win No. 25 a bit sooner this year than last
Last season, it took the Phoenix Suns 81 games to earn victory number 25.
They only needed 43 games to reach that mark this season.
Going into the season, the Vegas odds had the Suns winning fewer than 20 games total, so it's understandable that they are considered to be the biggest surprise in the entire NBA. But why are the 2013-14 Suns so much better than the 2012-13 version?
Here are five reasons the Suns have gone from a team with the league's fourth-worst record to one with its ninth-best.
D'ing up
Often times when people judge a defense they do so by looking at points allowed per game, and by that metric this year's team isn't much better than last year's. After all, is the difference between 101.6 points allowed per game and 100.9 really that big? No, but that's not the story. Much like it was during the "Seven Seconds or Less" days, when the Suns would allow a lot of points due to their fast pace, the effectiveness is not shown in that statistic.
Where the Suns are excellent is in defensive field goal percentage, improving from .470 last year to .449. Whereas 24 different teams finished ahead of them in that statistic last season, just 10 can make that claim right now.
Changing of the guards
When he was acquired from the L.A. Clippers in exchange for Jared Dudley, the prevailing thought was that Eric Bledsoe was ready to break out and become a star. Having been a backup for the majority of his career, the former first-round pick had shown potential, but had yet to really capitalize on it.
Potential met production in Phoenix, as the 24-year-old has posted averages of 18 points, 5.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, while playing good defense and coming up big in clutch situations. Of course, the only negative in his brief Suns tenure is injuries, which have limited him to just 24 games and may keep him out the rest of the season. That would seem like a death sentence for this upstart group, except for the play of Bledsoe's backcourt mate, Goran Dragic.
Dragic's first season back with the team last year was a productive one, as he averaged a team-best (and career-high) 14.7 points and 7.4 assists per game, while chipping in 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals per night. He's taken things to a different level this season --- an All-Star one.
The 27-year-old lefty is averaging 19.3 points, 6.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. He's shooting a ridiculous .490 from the field, including .364 from three-point range. He is, with LeBron James and Kevin Durant, one of just three players in the NBA to be averaging at least 19 points and 5 assists per game while shooting at least .480 percent from the field. Sure, you can use stats to push nearly any agenda, but there's no arguing the fact that Dragic has been playing at an elite level this season. Oh, and since Eric Bledsoe went down with his knee injury Dragic has stepped up his level of play, averaging a cool 21.2 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game while hitting 50 percent of his shots from the field and 40 percent of his three-point attempts.
The boss
Jeff Hornacek > Lindsey Hunter.
Welcome back, Channing
It was difficult to quantify just how much Channing Frye's absence due to a heart defect hurt the Suns last season. He is not exactly a superstar, and it is tough to believe a role player such as himself would have made much of a difference for the disaster that was last year's team.
But seeing him back on the floor this year is enough to make one rethink that idea.
Frye is averaging 12.5 points per game while shooting .459 from the field and .427 from three-point range. He has started every game this season, providing an emotional boost, leadership and sound post defense that were missing last year. As good a "stretch-4" as you'll find in the NBA, his ability to connect from long range opens things up for teammates who excel closer to the basket.
Surprise, surprise
Raise your hand if, when you saw that the Suns traded Luis Scola to the Indiana Pacers for Gerald Green, Miles Plumlee and a draft pick you looked at the first two and sarcastically said, "Championship!"
*raises hand*
The two have hardly been "throw-ins" for the Suns, with Plumlee starting every game at center and Green starting more than half the team's games due to Bledsoe being injured.
Green's 13.5 points per game are third on the team and would be a new career high for the journeyman, and his knack for hitting big shots has saved the Suns on numerous occasions. An incredibly athletic 6-foot-8 swingman, Green is now with his eighth team in seven NBA seasons, but may have finally found a home in Phoenix.
As for Plumlee, the second-year pro went from appearing in just 14 games last season as a rookie to starting all 43 thus far this season. His progression allowed the Suns to trade former starting center Marcin Gortat shortly before the regular season, and while many viewed it as a "tanking" move, it actually appears to have been made with basketball in mind. The former Duke Blue Devil is averaging 9.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, numbers that are very comparable to what the man he replaced is doing in Washington.

Police were called to a business due to fraudulent use of the company' gas card.
The owner told the officer she got an email from her gas card company with an alert. She was informed that one of the cards had excessive activity over the last week. The activity sheet was emailed to her and there were over 26 charges totaling over $1000.
It was not hard to determine which employee was in possession of that card and he was terminated.
A case was started so that she could pursue the man who wronged her.

Henry "Hank" O. Bennett Jr., director of TEF Automotive Technology for Robert Bosch Corporation, was honored recently as an Ambassador for Economic Development by the Department of Commerce as part of South Carolina's Industry Appreciation Week. The ceremony took place in Columbia on Tuesday, March 19 on the grounds of the Governor's mansion and highlighted 47 individuals from 46 counties for their exceptional efforts to bolster community and economic development activities in South Carolina.
"South Carolina is becoming the new 'it' state for doing business. And industry and local leaders are helping show the nation and the world the benefits the Palmetto State has to offer companies. Today we celebrate the local leaders who are making a difference and improving the competitiveness of their communities," said Gov. Nikki Haley.
Bennett has been employed with the Robert Bosch Corporation for 27 years, working both in the Charleston, S.C. plant and in Bamberg, Germany. Experience from both assignments instilled in him a commitment to support youth programs developing interest in science, technology and math.
Bennett initiated Bosch's involvement with the SAE program "A World in Motion" in local schools in 2006. The AWIM program provides engineering challenges for grades five through nine in an in-school program led by volunteers. He increased his involvement and commitment to the developing workforce of tomorrow in 2009 by taking the lead for the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Robotics program for the Lowcountry. He has partnered with BAE Systems, SPAWAR and the Lowcountry Manufacturers Council to expand from a single team representing 11 different area high schools to eight local teams in the Tri-County area.
Currently, there are more than 300 students and mentors involved in the FIRST program. Through FIRST, students develop technical skills as well as experience challenging "life lessons," including team work, communication and problem solving.
"Economic development is a team effort, requiring input from organizations and individuals across the state. South Carolina continues to enjoy economic development successes because of the work of the individuals recognized as Ambassadors for Economic Development. They are a vital part of Team South Carolina," said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt.
Each year the Department of Commerce joins local communities to thank businesses for their vital contributions to South Carolina's economy. The Department of Commerce kicks off Industry Appreciation Week each year by recognizing individuals throughout South Carolina as Ambassadors for Economic Development. These individuals include local leaders from the private sector representing a variety of businesses and economic development organizations committed to securing new jobs and investment in their communities.

Argentina, country of South America, covering most of the southern portion of the continent. The world's eighth largest country, Argentina occupies an area more extensive than Mexico and the U.S. state of Texas combined. It encompasses immense plains, deserts, tundra, and forests, as well as tall mountains, rivers, and thousands of miles of ocean shoreline. Argentina also claims a portion of Antarctica, as well as several islands in the South Atlantic, including the British-ruled Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas).
Argentina has long played an important role in the continent's history. Following three centuries of Spanish colonization, Argentina declared independence in 1816, and Argentine nationalists were instrumental in revolutionary movements elsewhere, a fact that prompted 20th-century writer Jorge Luis Borges to observe, "South America's independence was, to a great extent, an Argentine enterprise." Torn by strife and occasional war between political factions demanding either central authority (based in Buenos Aires) or provincial autonomy, Argentina tended toward periods of caudillo, or strongman, leadership, most famously under the presidency of Juan Perón. The 1970s ushered in a period of military dictatorship and repression during which thousands of presumed dissidents were "disappeared," or murdered; this ended in the disastrous Falklands Islands War of 1982, when Argentina invaded the South Atlantic islands it claimed as its own and was defeated by British forces in a short but bloody campaign. Defeat led to the fall of the military regime and the reestablishment of democratic rule, which has since endured despite various economic crises.
The country's name comes from the Latin word for silver, argentum, and Argentina is indeed a great source of valuable minerals. More important, however, has been Argentina's production of livestock and cereals, for which it once ranked among the world's wealthiest nations. Much of this agricultural activity is set in the Pampas, rich grasslands that were once the domain of nomadic Native Americans, followed by rough-riding gauchos, who were in turn forever enshrined in the nation's romantic literature. As Borges describes them in his story The South, the Pampas stretch endlessly to the horizon, dwarfing the humans within them; traveling from the capital toward Patagonia, the story's protagonist, Señor Dahlmann, "saw horsemen along dirt roads; he saw gullies and lagoons and ranches; he saw long luminous clouds that resembled marble; and all these things were casual, like dreams of the plain.... The elemental earth was not perturbed either by settlements or other signs of humanity. The country was vast, but at the same time it was intimate and, in some measure, secret. The limitless country sometimes contained only a solitary bull. The solitude was perfect and perhaps hostile, and it might have occurred to Dahlmann that he was traveling into the past and not merely south."
Despite the romantic lure of the Pampas and of vast, arid Patagonian landscapes, Argentina is a largely urban country. Buenos Aires, the national capital, has sprawled across the eastern Pampas with its ring of modern, bustling suburbs. It is among South America's most cosmopolitan and crowded cities and is often likened to Paris or Rome for its architectural styles and lively nightlife. Its industries have drawn colonists from Italy, Spain, and numerous other countries, millions of whom immigrated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Greater Buenos Aires is home to about one-third of the Argentine people. Among the country's other major cities are Mar del Plata, La Plata, and Bahía Blanca on the Atlantic coast and Rosario, San Miguel de Tucumán, Córdoba, and Neuquén in the interior.
Argentina is shaped like an inverted triangle with its base at the top; it is some 880 miles (1,420 km) across at its widest from east to west and stretches 2,360 miles (3,800 km) from the subtropical north to the subantarctic south. The country is bounded by Chile to the south and west, Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, and Brazil, Uruguay, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Its undulating Atlantic coastline stretches some 2,900 miles (4,700 km).
Argentina's varied geography can be grouped into four major regions: the Andes, the North, the Pampas, and Patagonia. The Andean region extends some 2,300 miles (3,700 km) along the western edge of the country from Bolivia to southern Patagonia, forming most of the natural boundary with Chile. It is commonly subdivided into two parts: the Northwest and the Patagonian Andes, the latter of which is discussed below under Patagonia. The North is commonly described in terms of its two main divisions: the Gran Chaco, or Chaco, comprising the dry lowlands between the Andes and the Paraná River; and Mesopotamia, an area between the Paraná and Uruguay rivers. The centrally located plains, or Pampas, are grasslands subdivided into arid western and more humid eastern parts called, respectively, the Dry Pampa and the Humid Pampa. Patagonia is the cold, parched, windy region that extends some 1,200 miles (1,900 km) south of the Pampas, from the Colorado River to Tierra del Fuego.
The Northwest
This part of the Andes region includes the northern half of the main mountain mass in Argentina and the transitional terrain, or piedmont, merging with the eastern lowlands. The region's southern border is the upper Colorado River. Within the region the Andean system of north-south–trending mountain ranges varies in elevation from 16,000 to 22,000 feet (4,900 to 6,700 metres) and is interrupted by high plateaus (punas) and basins ranging in elevation from about 10,000 to 13,400 feet (3,000 to 4,080 metres). The mountains gradually decrease in size and elevation southward from Bolivia. South America's highest mountain, Aconcagua (22,831 feet [6,959 metres]), lies in the Northwest, together with a number of other peaks that reach over 21,000 feet (6,400 metres). Some of these mountains are volcanic in origin.
To the southeast, where the parallel to subparallel ranges become lower and form isolated, compact units trending north-south, the flat valleys between are called bolsones (basins). This southeastern section of the Northwest is often called the Pampean Sierras, a complex that has been compared to the Basin and Range region of the western United States. It is characterized by west-facing escarpments and gentler east-facing backslopes, particularly those of the spectacular Sierra de Córdoba. The Pampean Sierras have variable elevations, beginning at 2,300 feet (700 metres) in the Sierra de Mogotes in the east and rising to 20,500 feet (6,250 metres) in the Sierra de Famatina in the west.
The Gran Chaco
The western sector of the North region, the Gran Chaco, extends beyond the international border at the Pilcomayo River into Paraguay, where it is called the Chaco Boreal ("Northern Chaco") by Argentines. The Argentine sector between the Pilcomayo River and the Bermejo River is known as the Chaco Central. Argentines have named the area southward to latitude 30° S, where the Pampas begin, the Chaco Austral ("Southern Chaco"). The Gran Chaco in Argentina descends in flat steps from west to east, but it is poorly drained and has such a challenging combination of physical conditions that it remains one of the least-inhabited parts of the country. It has a subtropical climate characterized by some of Latin America's hottest weather, is largely covered by thorny vegetation, and is subject to summer flooding.
East of the Gran Chaco, in a narrow depression 60 to 180 miles (100 to 300 km) wide, lies Mesopotamia, which is bordered to the north by the highlands of southern Brazil. The narrow lowland stretches for 1,000 miles (1,600 km) southward, finally merging with the Pampas south of the Río de la Plata. Its designation as Mesopotamia (Greek: "Between the Rivers") reflects the fact that its western and eastern borders are two of the region's major rivers, the Paraná and the Uruguay. The northeastern part, Misiones province, between the Alto ("Upper") Paraná and Uruguay rivers, is higher in elevation than the rest of Mesopotamia, but there are several small hills in the southern part.
The Pampas
Pampa is a Quechua Indian term meaning "flat plain." As such, it is widely used in southeastern South America from Uruguay, where grass-covered plains commence south of the Brazilian Highlands, to Argentina. In Argentina the Pampas broaden out west of the Río de la Plata to meet the Andean forelands, blending imperceptibly to the north with the Chaco Austral and southern Mesopotamia and extending southward to the Colorado River. The eastern boundary is the Atlantic coast.
The largely flat surface of the Pampas is composed of thick deposits of loess interrupted only by occasional caps of alluvium and volcanic ash. In the southern Pampas the landscape rises gradually to meet the foothills of sierras formed from old sediments and crystalline rocks.

Little did I know that she was bound for stardom that next day as the Weather Channel came out to profile the Shrewsbury Ice Boat & Yacht Club on the Navesink River, where she was learning the craft of sliding around at silly speeds. And it was the good people of TWC that gave Katie her 6.7 seconds of national broadcast fame. You'll see her at the 1:44 mark of the segment, viciously attacking the mainsheet of the DN she was using before delivering poignant analysis with the articulation of a classically trained Shakespearean thespian. Which is to say she didn't stutter or say anything completely embarrassing to herself, her family or (most importantly) APS. The again, it's really hard to say anything too awful in 6.7 seconds.
It was actually a nice ~2:00 piece on ice boating that one again highlights the fun that can be had when sliding around at twice the speed of the wind. Unfortunately, we can't embed the Weather Channel video here on the blog because (and I'm just guessing here) TWC is owned by NBC, and... well, they pretty much suck. That's right, we support Conan O'Brien. Katie actually had a full 15 seconds, but Jay Leno wanted in on the video and they cut her out.
So here's the link to the video: The Weather Channel. Enjoy!
P.S.: This is my last post for The Stern Scoop -- unfortunately, those charges finally stuck and I'm going on a court-ordered mandatory vacation. Just kidding. For now.
No, I made a super tough call and I'm headed out to forge a new path or something like that. I just wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone here at APS for five great years and thank all the readers for reading some of the stuff I write and not sending nasty e-mails to APS ownership afterwards. I leave you with a plea not to smoke. Unless you're on fire. Because then, it's only natural.

The park curfew will be lifted beginning at 11 p.m. on Thursday March 28, and will resume at 11 p.m. on Easter Sunday, March 31.
Citizens are again reminded that recycling bins are available in the parks and should be used for plastic bottles and cans. No glass containers are allowed. Food-contaminated waste should be disposed of in trash cans.
"If everyone does their part to ensure our parks remain clean by properly disposing of litter and recyclables, this easy step not only protects the environment but contributes to everyone's experience being that much more enjoyable," says Parks and Recreation Director Xavier Urrutia.
Citizens will be allowed to camp overnight at these parks:• Brackenridge Park, 3700 N. St. Mary's (excludes the Brackenridge parking facility.)

This shoe is amazing! Looks great with a casual outfit and rolled up jeans or for when I'm going for a jog. They are super comfy and they came with additional red laces so I could change the laces from black to red! Overall, great purchase, however it was a little big, I'm a size 8 in all my sneakers but when they got delivered and I tried them they were a bit big but nothing that a few tighter laces can't fix, but I do recommend go half a size down. ... read more
I have two pairs of Fluxes. They are amazing shoes. Not only do they fit perfectly and feel wonderful, but they are also one of the cleanest shoes available. They are stylish enough, and versatile enough, to wear in any situation and I always receive compliments. Buy these shoes, you will definitely not regret it. ... read more
I love the style and the way in which the shoes stand out in a crowd. They are very comfortable and the images on the website come true to the eye when received in real life. I would recommend this product to anyone as the they are true to size and offer great freshness in the feet. However, the only down side of these shoes is the when they get wet but they do try quickly. ... read more
Now a happy owner of ZX Flux shoes, light and comfy. You'll need to figure the sizing however as I'm wearing a size greater than normal. Fit is excellent, and, as usual very supporting whether walking the high street or running a few kilometres. Breathable upper fabric maintains a good temp and allows moisture to escape easily. Another set of contrasting laces was a nice unexpected touch. Price is a expected for this section the market. ... read more
I bought these shoes as a general purpose trainer for informal occasions. The look and feel is spot on for this. When I first put them on I thought that the arch support on the left shoe was a bit prominent. I then went on as walk around a park and after about 5 or 6k they are now really comfortable. So if you feel the same then try a long-ish walk in them and then see how they are you probably won't be disappointed. Ps I am not saying they are suitable for going up a mountain in. But walking round a park with mainly tarmaced paths they are fine!! ... read more
So i went to Adidas Originals yesterday with my friend and decided to purchase the black zx flux in a size 6. I normally go half a size up due to comfort. However there being none, i tried the size 7. Slides of my foot. Stuck with size 6 but overall it is very stylish, comfortable and a shoe that can be worn with anything. Adidas, please make half sizes, this is the only reason why i wrote 4/5, because it does feel tight, but something i can bear for a little while. I hope they stretch just like a guy said. I know these are unisex, but people like me with feet that have half sizes will suffer, plus if this was to happen i would buy all of them!!! ... read more
Had my eyes on the zx flux since seeing a Facebook post of a 3-pack in black in the UK earlier this year, excited that they are finally available in the US. I love the simple, subtle yet stylish look. The new navy has a great deep blue color. Great fit and comfort. Planning to wear these primarily for casual outings paired with jeans and a t-shirt, and occasionally while working out. ... read more
I actually bought these shoes for work..I walk around all day and wanted something comfortable and that looked good. Keep in mind I'm a big dude and won't be running in these shoes. But they are very comfortable, I'm always worried that any shoe will end up feeling to narrow after wearing them for 8 hours,but these didnt! I was actually talking to a friend about them saying I might just buy another pair to wear outside of work. Also, you can feel all the support in these shoes. Very happy ... read more
I bought a pair of red ZX Flux's and they look nice, but the only issue I have is that they appear a lot more orange than red. I can't help but feel a little bit cheated because I really wanted the red pair, so it would be ideal if your team can re-upload some new pictures which actually show how the trainers will appear in real life. I'd still recommend the trainers, but it would depend on the colour of the shoe. ... read more
I've barely removed then from my feet since purchase. I can't describe quite how comfortable they are. You find yourself in one of two scenarios: You either feel as if you aren't wearing shoes, or you feel as if your feet are being cuddled by clouds. I didn't realise that it was possible to wear a shoe that makes your foot feel liter than it did before. If I was to have one negative it is that the material would be easily scuffed if the shoes were abused at all. I don't think this would ever be a problem if looked after however. ... read more
I recently bought two pairs of these, two different colors. Have worn them each for a day plus and one pair for a grouppower workout at my local gym. They feel great on the feet, lightweight and during the workout did not slip around. They do not have the slipper feel of the other Major player as the sole is more solid and allows them to be more useful from everyday wearing to workouts at the gym. I may get another color some day, but for now two pairs will do! ... read more
Got these as a Christmas gift, these have to be the best trainers I have ever worn, super stylish and even super comfy. Flux fit perfect to size. Trainers are light to wear, I'm actually getting ready to order another pair immediately. Never look back ... read more
I love the look of the trainer. They do feel long and thin and they leave a bit of room around the toes! I'm a size 9 in most trainers and my last adidas neo trainers were a 9 and a perfect fit. Thankfully I tried a pair of size 9's in a shop before ordering them online. I found the 9's were massive and ordered a pair of 8.5's, these fit ok but do feel slightly long. ... read more
Starting off the Flux come true too size. Feel great on foot, definitely a great shoe for the coming summer! Mesh is nicely breathable. Torsion sole adds great comfort to this model. Highly Recommended and especially at the price it is at too! ... read more
Absolutely fantastic quality. Ordered on Monday, was delivered by Thursday, and apparently it came from Germany! Outstanding service. The shoes themselves are a treat to wear, and pair with everything. Looking forward to using these as my everyday kicks from now on. ... read more

Arizona State Sun Devils
Some things are more disappointing than Arizona State's loss to Stanford
The Arizona State Sun Devils lost the Pac-12 Championship Game because Stanford's coaches coached better, and they lost the game because Stanford's players played better.
Stanford did not drop key passes. Stanford did not allow its quarterback to be constantly harassed. Stanford did not allow linebackers to be matched up against ASU's best receivers. Stanford did not bring in their backup quarterback in the red zone.
Feel free to explain the loss by saying, "If ASU would have just..." But know you're wasting your time. That phrase needs to start 27 different sentences because there isn't just one "if" statement. Stanford beat ASU in 27 different ways.
It's not a terrible thing to accept ASU being the best team in the Pac-12 South. It's a great thing that Todd Graham is taking ASU to a Holiday or Alamo Bowl in only his second year. It just stinks to be hit in the face Sunday with how far behind ASU is from getting to Stanford's status.
The loss to Stanford is not the most troubling aspect of this game. The worst thing to accept is the gap between some of ASU's fans and reality.
I'm not allowed to offer this, but I wish I could. I would love to offer the chance for one intelligent, passionate fan each game to walk around with me on the sideline of an Arizona State game. You see and hear so many things that you would never guess. The saddest thing I saw was fence-side "bravery."
In the middle of the fourth quarter, an ASU "fan" stood at an opening of the fence that separates the stands from the bench and yelled, "You suck, Alex Garoutte. You hear me? You suck."
We have soldiers getting shot at in the Middle East, yet one man in his 30s thinks there is bravery in standing behind a fence to yell at a 22-year-old. Even more embarrassing is Garoutte knows he's not a punter, so the ignorance of this fan is not enlightening anyone.
Think of something you are terrible at doing or accomplishing. Now, allow me to put you in a room with 85 other people who are all worse than you at your weakness. Are you going to step up and realize that you are the best option? Are you going to sacrifice your pride? Garoutte did.
Garoutte is the best option at punter for the Arizona State Sun Devils. That is not Garoutte's fault. Dennis Erickson didn't recruit someone to replace Josh Hubner. Todd Graham felt he had to win over in-state recruits like D.J. Foster and Jaxon Hood. Although he was right to put the majority of his focus in that area, he did not do enough to bring in an immediate starter at punter. The freshman punters that started this year for ASU were just as bad. Garoutte stepped in because ASU had no other options. He did not come to ASU to be a punter. He came to ASU to become a man -- which is a lot more than can be said for fans hiding behind fences to yell.
Arizona State did not deserve to win the Pac-12 Championship. It did not deserve to have any fans like Mr. Fence Screamer either. With 30 seconds to go in a disastrous Pac-12 Championship Game, the outstanding student section began chanting "A-S-U, A-S-U." There is no way to put into words what that meant to the players. So many seniors woke up Saturday morning with the dream of going to a Rose Bowl. Their dream is over, yet more than 10,000 of their peers still had the maturity and class to salute them for what they've accomplished this year.
Let's compare the difference in actions of the "adults" and the "kids": A legion of ignorance rushed to flood the phone lines of "Sun Devil Sound Off" with Craig Grialou to voice disgust with the 10-win Pac-12 South Champions. Twenty-year-old students who camped out for days just so they could be as close as possible to their team stood with their team to the bitter end.
Maybe it's the students that should be teaching the lesson.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga junior forward Ashlen Dewart (Spartanburg, S.C.) missed her second free throw in the final seconds, dashed into the lane to grab the rebound and get the put back as time expired to lead the Lady Mocs to a 64-53 Southern Conference women's basketball win over the College of Charleston at the McKenzie Arena Monday night. Dewart posted a game-high 26 points, her seventh 20+ scoring game this season, and pulled down eight rebounds.
Chattanooga improved to 12-3 overall and 5-1 in SoCon action while the Cougars dropped below.500 to 7-8 on the year and 3-3 in league play. The win is Chattanooga's 20th straight at McKenzie Arena. Chattanooga went 13-0 in the Roundhouse last year and is currently 6-0 on its home court this season.
The Lady Mocs led wire-to-wire for the second straight game and were up by as much as 21 points twice at the start of the second half. UTC started the game on a 10-2 run then closed out the opening frame on an 18-4 sprint to lead 35-17 at the break.
Chattanooga started the latter period making all four of its attempts with Dewart scoring six in the run to put UTC up 43-22 with 16:18 to play. UTC then went 1-4over the next 2:50 with junior Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) putting in a short jumper at the 13:28 mark. That would be the Lady Mocs last field goal for the next 11:25. Dewart and seniors Kayla Christopher (Oliver Springs, Tenn.) and Kylie Lambert (Etowah, Tenn.) combined for six free throws in that time before Dewart made a layup with 2:03 to play, ending the field goal drought.
While Chattanooga went cold, the Cougars put together a 21-4 run to get to within two points. Cathryn Hardy hit a jumper at the 13:17 mark of the second half to spark the run that was capped off with 3:35 to play with a layup from Christy Hewatt to cut Chattanooga's lead to the closest since early in the first half at 51-49.
Over the final minutes of the game, Chattanooga's effort at the free throw line paid off as the Cougars put Chattanooga at the line 12 times. UTC was 9-of-12 from the charity stripe over the final three minutes and Christopher made all six of her attempts in the final minute while going 8-of-8 for the game.
The two teams were evenly matched in the paint with Chattanooga gaining a slight 26-24 edge. The Cougars' bench outscored the Lady Mocs 10-5 and CofC had six fast break points. Chattanooga outrebounded Charleston 42-37 who average a conference-best 45.6 per game. The Lady Mocs edged College of Charleston 11-10 on the offensive glass and outscored them 13-11 on second chance points. Chattanooga forced 18 CofC turnovers and had nine points off the miscues. The Lady Mocs dished out 15 assists to 14 turnovers and had a season-high tying six blocked shots.
Dewart was 9-of-19 from the field and 8-of-12 from the free throw line. Christopher was 3-of-7 from the floor with a pair of 3-pointers and 8-of-8 from the free throw line while grabbing six boards, dishing out a team-high five assists and grabbing three steals.
Hall was the third Chattanooga player in double figures with 12 points, three rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots. Lambert pulled down a season-high 10 rebounds for the second straight night. It is her third game with 10 rebounds this season. Freshman Alicia Payne (Memphis, Tenn.) dished out four assists and grabbed two boards while classmate Tatianna Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.) had five rebounds.
Chattanooga shot 45.5% (15-33) in the first half but struggled in the second making just 7-of-24 (29.2%) and was 3-of-12 from beyond the arc. After shooting 49 percent (24-49) from the free throw line over the last three games, the Lady Mocs were 17-of-23 (73.9%) Monday night.
The Cougars had three players in double figures led by Latisha Harris with 13 points and seven rebounds. Cathryn Hardy had 12 points and a team-best nine rebounds while Alyssa Frye put in 11 points making 3-of-9 from beyond the 3-point arc. Jillian Brown, playing 39 minutes, had a game-high six assists. College of Charleston shot 26.9 percent (7-of-26) in the first half, but rebounded with a 40.6 percent effort in the second half making 13-of-32 from the field. The Cougars were 10-of-16 from the free throw line and made 3-of-17 from the 3-point line.
Chattanooga will hit the road to take on league-leading Davidson Friday night at Belk Arena. The game will be carried live on ESPN 105.1 "The Zone".

Women's Soccer
John Marovich
|Head Coach
In January of 2008 John Marovich was named the third head coach in the history of the Valparaiso University women's soccer program. He joined the Valparaiso University coaching staff as an assistant coach prior to the 2002 season. After serving in this role for the Crusaders for his first three years with the program, he was promoted to associate head coach, where he assumed a full-time role prior to the 2005 season.
Marovich enters the 2014 campaign with a record of 52-42-20 both overall as a collegiate head coach and at Valpo. He ranks second in school history in victories, and his .544 winning percentage is tops all-time for the Crusader program.
Under Marovich, the Crusaders have cemented themselves as a top-tier defensive side, as all four of the top defensive seasons in program history have come during his tenure. In 2013, Marovich's squad surrendered just 15 goals, while 2012 saw the Crusaders earn the first national statistical championship in program history en route to a 10-win campaign, as Valpo's team goals against average of 0.51 paced the nation. The Crusaders also ranked among the top-ten squads in the nation in both shutout percentage and save percentage.
Marovich guided the Crusaders to the Horizon League Tournament championship match in 2009 as Valpo finished the year 11-9-1 overall while placing third during the regular season, its highest finish in the Horizon League since joining the conference prior to the 2007 season. The 11 wins were third most in school history. Valpo matched its third place finish again under his guidance in 2011.
In 2008, his first season at the helm of the Brown and Gold, Marovich's squad finished 10-6-3 overall while setting a new school record with 10 shutouts on the season. His team also set a then-school record for lowest goals against average in a season, 0.71, and posted a 7-2-1 record at home.
During his stint as a head coach, Marovich has had four players earn All-Horizon League First Team honors, while nine others have been Second Team All-League picks. Marovich also has had 13 Horizon League All-Newcomer Team selections under his guidance. His team also has had success in the classroom, as eight student-athletes have been voted to the Horizon League's All-Academic Team. In addition, Jackie Kondratko earned First Team Academic All-America honors by CoSIDA and ESPN The Magazine in 2009 while a total of three players have earned Academic All-District V accolades, including a pair of First Team selections in his three years at the helm. Kondratko was also named the Horizon League's Cecil N. Coleman Award winner in 2010, an honor given to the league's overall top male and female senior student-athlete across all sports.
In 2007, Marovich was an assistant on the Valpo coaching staff as the Crusaders moved into the Horizon League for the first time. During the first season in the new conference, he helped Valpo post a 10-9 record, finishing fifth in the highly competitive league. The Crusaders also had three student-athletes earn All-Horizon League honors, with two Second Team picks and an All-Newcomer Team selection.
Marovich also was instrumental in the Crusaders' success in both 2005 and 2006. The Brown and Gold won both the Mid-Continent Conference regular season and tournament titles in 2005, setting a new school record for victories with 12, as well as posting the best winning percentage at the time in the program's history. Valpo earned its first berth ever to the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship, traveling to Notre Dame, a team Marovich spent time assisting prior to arriving at Valpo.
The next season, 2006, Marovich was a part of the Crusaders' first outright regular season Mid-Continent Conference title in school history, as Valpo again won 12 matches, while also setting a new mark for winning percentage in a season at .711.
In his first five seasons on the bench for the Brown and Gold, Valpo earned four Mid-Continent Conference Tournament berths, advancing to the title match in 2004 in addition to winning the championship in 2005.
Marovich arrived at Valpo after spending the 2001 season as a women's volunteer assistant coach at the University of Notre Dame, helping lead the Fighting Irish to the Big East regular season and tournament championships. During Marovich's stay, Notre Dame also advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Before moving to the collegiate field, Marovich was the head girls' coach at Andrean High School, where he led the 59ers to the state title match in 1999. In his seven seasons at Andrean, he won two conference titles and three sectional championships, as well as a regional and semi-state title. Marovich was named the National Soccer Coaches Association of America's Indiana private/parochial school state Coach of the Year in 1999.
Marovich has earned his United States Soccer Federation "A" License. He played collegiate soccer at Purdue-Calumet, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in construction technology in 1994. He also serves as an Olympic Development Program age group head coach in the state of Indiana and is also a staff coach for Region II.
John and his wife, Susan, have been married since 1995 and have two children, Mackenzie, born in 1999, and Kacey, born in 2003.

Ethan Richardson rushed for 163 yards and four touchdowns Friday as Marion pulled away from an injury-ravaged Carroll County in the second half for a 35-6 Southwest District win in Hillsville.
With its defense playing extremely well, the Cavaliers trailed just 7-6 at halftime. Carroll County (1-8, 0-4 SWD) limited Richardson to just 48 yards rushing on 12 carries at that point. But in the second half, injuries began to take their toll. Already missing starting fullback Jake Dillon and tailback Josh Blankenship heading into to the game, the team's fastest player, Patrick Davis, also suffered an injury that limited his playing time, and Austin Spence left the game before the half with an injury.
Missing almost all of its normal backfield rotation, the Carroll offense struggled to get much going. Meanwhile, the defense started to bend as well as Richardson rushed for 115 yards and three scores after intermission.
"We got injuries and had to make some changes. I don't know, the changes shouldn't have affected us that much. We did have to make changes and I don't know if our kids felt like what we were doing changed," Carroll County head coach Tom Hale said. "It's the most inconsistent group of kids I've ever coached. We played so well in the first half and stunk it up in the second half. But even in the first half we just couldn't seem to get much going offensively."
After Carroll's defense stopped Marion (5-4, 2-1 SWD) to open the third quarter, the Scarlet Hurricane took control four plays later when Trey Crook lived up to his name, pilfering a Connor Lundy pass and returning it six yards to the Carroll 19. Richardson took an option pitch left on the next play and scooted into the end zone from 19 yards out for a 14-6 Marion lead.
Carroll marched down the field on the ensuing 12-play drive, but a false start penalty on 4th and 4 at the Marion 17 stopped the threat. Richardson made the Cavs pay on the next play, toeing the right sideline before evading a host of Carroll tacklers and cutting it back across the field for a 78-yard touchdown. Richardson's long run put Marion ahead 21-6 with 1:08 left in the third quarter.
After a three-and-out by the Cavaliers, the Scarlet Hurricane took over at midfield. Passes of 10 and 11 yards, sandwiched around a pass interference penalty, set Richardson up for his fourth TD, this one from a yard out for a 28-6 cushion with 8:52 remaining.
Marion put it out of reach for good on its next possession as backup quarterback Hunter Lefler called his own name and rambled 28 yards for a score on a QB keeper. The final score put the Scarlet Hurricane in front 35-6 with 5:19 to play.
Crook completed 12-of-15 passes for 98 yards to compliment Richardson's big game on the ground.
Carroll caught a huge break early in the game as Marion drove 86 yards on 14 plays. After gaining five yards, Crook fumbled into the end zone, however, and Chris Smoot recovered for the Cavs at the 1. The Scarlet Hurricane would go on to score later in the quarter on a 17-yard Richardson touchdown run.

It was a bit of a surprise.
That was the reaction from W. Cothran Campbell, president of Dogwood Stable, regarding the fast fractions set by Palace Malice during the first half-mile of Saturday's 139th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
The bay colt was equipped with blinkers, which seemed to sharpen his performance, but Campbell was taken a bit off-guard when jockey Mike Smith took Palace Malice to the front during the early stages of the race, setting what he referred to as a suicidal pace for three-quarters-of-a-mile.
Palace Malice spent six weeks in Aiken training under the watchful eye of Legacy Stable's trainer Brad Stauffer before being sent to five-time Eclipse Award winning trainer Todd Pletcher.
The Kentucky Derby was Palace Malice's third race in five weeks. The colt will receive a respite from racing and will not be pointed toward the Preakness Stakes, the middle jewel of Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown.
Dogwood Stable is no stranger to the Kentucky Derby, with the 139th edition being the seventh time the Aiken-based operation has participated in the Run for the Roses, and Palace Malice was their eighth starter.
However, it was its first Kentucky Derby starter, Summer Squall, that Dogwood Stable may be most closely associated with, as the son of Storm Bird ran a brilliant second in the 1990 edition of the race.
But the opportunity to be in Louisville during Derby Week is something one never gets tired of, said Campbell.
"We had a lot of well-wishers, and there were a lot of people pulling for us," said Campbell. "It was a wonderful experience to see so many old pals in the morning at the racetrack. It's one of the most dramatic events in sports. As the afternoon goes on, the tension increases."
It was also a chance for Campbell to spend time in an environment he loves, with the most precious people in his life, his family.
"I had the opportunity to be with my children and grandchildren during the walkover with the horse," said Campbell. "I wouldn't trade that experience for anything."

Twitter, women and powerOctober 25,2013Twitter is on schedule to go public as a company next month, a sparkling symbol of innovation, technology and stale, old thinking reflected in a board of seven white men.
Twitter users are reportedly more likely to be female, so its bizarre to have no women on the board. But the main reason to add women not just on Twitters board, but in politics, business and the news media isnt just equity. This shouldnt be seen as a favor to women but as a step that would be good for all of us.
In business, theres abundant evidence that inclusion of women in senior positions is linked to better results. Catalyst, a research organization, found that the companies with the most female board directors earned a 26 percent higher return on invested capital than the companies with the fewest women.
Likewise, McKinsey & Co. found that the international companies with more women on their corporate boards far outperformed the average company in return on equity and other measures. Operating profit was 56 percent higher.
This isnt just about boardrooms, though. In the recent government shutdown debacle, some of the first efforts at hammering out a deal to end the crisis came from a group of women in the Senate who were disheartened by the political paralysis. Time magazines headline online was: Women Are the Only Adults Left in Washington.
Thats progress: The Senate built a restroom off the floor for female members only in 1993, and now, a couple decades later, women are providing adult supervision in the old boys club.
Still, theres a long way to go.
The World Economic Forum plans to release its annual Global Gender Gap Report on Thursday, and the United States ranks an embarrassing 23rd out of 136 countries in the status of women. The U.S. has actually slipped one slot since a year ago and does particularly poorly by international standards in wage equality and in numbers of women in the legislative branch.
Hard-nosed business executives seem to get that this is more than a social justice issue. In a survey by Spencer Stuart, the executive search firm, and Corporate Board Member, a company that researches corporate boards, four out of five board members said that they believed that boardroom diversity generally results in increased value for shareholders.
Yet of Fortune 500 companies, roughly 18 percent of board members are female. At this rate, itll be after 2050 before women hold half of board seats.
So what do women bring to the board table?
Scholarly research suggests that the best problem-solving doesnt come from a group of the best individual problem-solvers, but from a diverse team whose members complement each other. Thats an argument for leadership that is varied in every way in gender, race, economic background and ideology.
Another reason companies with senior women may thrive might have little to do with gender. The promotion of women may just be a proxy for those companies that are most open-minded and forward-looking, and those perhaps are the qualities that are mainly driving profits.
Companies sometimes protest that they cant find qualified women. Rosabeth Moss Kanter, a professor at Harvard Business School, said that the real problem is boards trying to replicate themselves and that plenty of women would add value to the Twitter board.
I could come up with 30 names without thinking too hard, she said, adding that the challenge is to look more broadly for talent and be more welcoming to people not identical to those in power.
And, sorry, Twitter, but how about adding not just one woman to your board, but three? Research suggests that what matters is having a critical mass of about 30 percent women. In Twitters case, if it added three women, its board would still have as many men named Peter as it had women.
I also realize that I live in a glass house, because my world of punditry is a cacophony of mostly white male voices. Gender imbalance isnt just Twitters problem, but a global challenge across many sectors.
In the midst of the 2008 economic cataclysm, there was introspection about whether the overwhelmingly male leadership in finance led to a macho culture of excessive risk-taking. A British study found that trading behavior reflected testosterone levels in employees saliva: The more testosterone, the more risky the trades.
So would it all have been different if it had been Lehman Sisters?
Maybe not: Lehman Sisters, equally nondiverse, might also have been prone to herd behavior of a different kind. The smart bet would have been on an inclusive and diverse Lehman Brothers & Sisters and theres a lesson there for Twitter, for our government, and for all of us.

I wrote in Google as a Command-Line that "a single search box can be more powerful than more disparate search boxes". YubNub is an online command-line that have everything a Linux junkie would want: man for each command (manual), ls (a list of all the commands), parameters, the ability to create a new command. "But what's a command?", you'll ask me. A command can be anything: a search with Google, weather information, view source of a web page, go to an entry in the PHP manual, find who owns a domain and a lot more.
YubNub translates a URL like http://whois.domaintools.com/google.com
into a simple command: whois google.com.
It's easier to use a command like this instead of keeping bookmarks or searching using Google. Many browsers include the ability to create shortcuts for search engines, but YubNub brings this approach to a new level. You can invoke a command multiple times by typing one line.
multi gim rose ginger searches Google Images for rose and ginger and shows the results in two frames so it's easy to compare them.
Type guess le vieux caffe to find the language of an expression (in this case French).
There is a big list of commands: here are just a few and everyone has a man entry, so you can find a description, parameters info and other details.
YubNub transforms any useful service into an alias, an easy to remember command, so you can keep your old-fashioned habits on the web. May the command-line force be with you!

Oh yeah. Happy Days are here. Front locking pin. What a pain in the ass.
Finally used my background in the study of Chi. Took a small flat head screw driver and put it through the two pin holes.
Then feeling super human strength. Plus the most pain in my thumb, I have ever felt in my life.
I pushed the spring and locking pin in, until I could hold it in place with the small screwdriver, coming in from the opposite side.
Then took the locking pin and slipped it slowly over the spring and small pin, while slowly withdrawing the screw driver.
SAAAAAAAAANap. In she went.
Wear safety glasses. Man that damn spring flies.

Leavelle McCampbell Middle off to strong start
The Leavelle McCampbell Middle School football team has opened the season with an undefeated 2-0 start. The Mighty Rocks are dominating, scoring more than 20 points per game against their opponents who have yet to post a point this season. Leavelle McCampbell will put its unblemished record on the line on Wednesday when it faces North Augusta Middle School at Midland Valley High School. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.
The Aiken High Volleyball team picked up four wins in the Dorman Tournament of Champions this weekend over some of the top teams in the state before falling in their final three matches.
The four wins came over Rock Hill, who defeated the Hornets later in the tournament, Porter Gaud, Daniel and Pickens.
The Hornets suffered close losses to the Class AAAA top ranked team Hilcrest, St. Joesph, a Class AA powerhouse and Rock Hill.
Ana Tovo finished the tournament with 67 kills to go along with 37 digs. Emily Teelon came away from the tournament with 111 assists, and Carly Bland had 33 kills in the tournament.
Middle School
Schofield 3
AL Corbett 0
Schofield Middle School's volleyball team moved to 4-0 on the season with a 3-0 (25-7, 25-11, 25-8) win over AL Corbett.
Lexi Floyd finished the match with 15 aces, and Katie Clamp and Payton Tyler led the team in assist with four each. Schofield plays host to Aiken on Thursday.
St. Andrews 0
The University of South Carolina Aiken broke open a scoreless match midway through the second half and never looked back in the 5-0 victory over St. Andrews Monday evening in a non-conference affair.
The Pacers improve to 2-3-1 on the season with the win.
"We made some adjustments at halftime," head coach Ike Ofoje said. "We needed to play a game like this. We had a game plan and executed it well.
"We knew if we could get one goal, things would start falling into place for us and they did. We needed to play like this and know that we could score as we prepare for our Peach Belt Conference opener on Wednesday. This gave us a confidence boost."
After a scoreless first half, Sajih Daychoum got the home team on the board at the 68:37 mark.
After a scoreless first half, Sajih Daychoum got the home team on the board at the 68:37 mark. After a corner kick that was played into the box, several players fought for the ball. Daychoum got his boot on it, turned and fired home a shot past Leandro Custodio for a 1-0 advantage.
A minute later, the Knights pressured the Pacers and nearly got a clean look at the goal. However, USC Aiken managed to get the ball out of its defensive third of the pitch.
Noel Mais received the ball and raced past two defenders, juking one to the ground. He then crossed the ball to Nader Fakih near the top of the box. Fakih one-timed it to the lower right of the goal for a 2-0 margin the team would not relinquish.
Mais nearly scored himself. In the 76th minute, he dribbled one way and quickly changed directions, faking out the defender. He was unable to finish the play, but the ball was booted around until it found the feet of Jarrel Smalls. He blasted a shot from 20 yards out, but the keeper had his hands on it momentarily. The ball trickled through the goalkeepers' legs for the third score of the night. The time of the goal was the 76:14 mark.
In the 85th minute, there was a foul in the box after a deft play by Mais. The Pacers were awarded a penalty kick and Gabriel Locher calmly found the bottom left of the net. USC Aiken, however, was not done. In the 87th minute, Locher netted his second goal of the night after Hunter Bailey played the ball to him just a few yards outside of the goal. Locher one-timed it into the open net for the score.
For the match, USC Aiken totaled 16 shots to six by the visitors. Joshua Poissant had one save in the contest. The home team totaled eight corner kicks to three by St. Andrews.
The Pacers return to the pitch on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in a Peach Belt Conference contest against Young Harris.
