August 4 2015 Latest news:
Saturday, August 9, 2014
Police have issued an e-fit of a suspect wanted in connection with an attack on a man in Witham which left the victim with potentially life changing chemical burns.
The e-fit is of one of the two suspects that police believe are responsible for the assault - during which an unknown caustic liquid was thrown over the 56-year-old victim. He remains in hospital receiving treatment for his burns.
Ds Becky Young said: "We believe this e-fit to bear a strong likeness to the man involved. He had a distinctive braided hairstyle and we are sure if anyone knows this man they will recognise this picture.
"As we have indicated already the information that we currently have suggests that the victim was not the intended target of this attack. Unfortunately he appears to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"The two suspects are described as a white man and a black man and if anyone saw them either in the area prior to this attack or afterwards we would urgently like to speak to them."
The man attacked was collecting post from the communal entrance to a block of flats in Bramble Road, Witham, shortly before 10.45am yesterday (Friday) when he encountered the two men banging on the door.
Following a brief exchange the two men threw liquid from a glass bottle over the man and ran off.
He has suffered injuries to his hands and face consistent with the use of a harmful liquid.
He was taken by ambulance to Broomfield Hospital for treatment. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening but are potentially life changing.
Cordons initially put in place in the road have now been released but police have today been carrying out further house to house inquiries in the Bramble Road area.
Anyone who recognises the man in the e-fit or who has other information about the attack is asked to call Essex Police at Braintree CID on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Take a look at some of our featured product
types for Hyundai Genesis aftermarket upgrades and modifications.
For vehicle specific catalogs please use the top "View Catalogs"
menu. We aim to be your number one website for Hyundai Genesis Coupe and
Sedan aftermarket parts and upgrades.
The first upgrade to any Hyundai Genesis Coupe needs to be a cold air intake system. This allows the engine to breath exponentially better than the restrictive baffled air box. Colder denser air equals more power, better throttle response, and improved mpg. We carry
Hyundai Genesis cold air intakes from top brands for both 2.0L Turbo I4 and 3.8L V6 models including AEM, Injen and HKS.
After you have added a cold air intake the next step to making bolt on power with the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is the exhaust system. A high flow performance cat back exhaust is going to free up exhaust flow by reducing back pressure and allow that turbo to spool quicker on the 2.0T as well as improve performance on 3.8L V6 models. The cat back exhaust will replace the mid section pipe and axle back portion of the factory exhaust system. A significant power increase can be expected with any 3" aftermarket cat back system on the 2.0T models. Popular brands
of Hyundai Genesis exhaust systems include Megan Racing, Tanabe, Magnaflow, CNT Racing, Greddy, HKS, Agency Power and ARK Performance.
The turbo down pipe is another high reward upgrade for the turbocharged Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The down pipe connects the turbocharger to the factory catalytic converter pipe. To achieve the ultimate in exhaust performance a high flow down pipe is a necessity! We also offer down pipes for the 3.8L V6 Genesis Coupe that connects the headers to the mid pipes. Quality name brands
of Hyundai Genesis down pipes include Megan Racing, CNT Racing and Tanabe.
Ready to rumble with your 3.8L V6 Hyundai Genesis Coupe? ARK Performance offers these beautiful V6 R-Spec Headers. These will greatly increase exhaust flow and unleash the symphony that lies under the hood that has been drowned out by the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds.
Check out these quality Hyundai Genesis headers at the link below.
For the track we offer test pipes to replace the factory catalytic converter pipe on the Genesis Coupe 2.0L Turbo. These are not intended for use on public highways as they completely remove the catalytic converter for ultimate flow in racing conditions. Available
Hyundai Genesis test pipes brands include Megan Racing, CNT Racing and Agency Power.
After intake and exhaust modifications are completed on your Genesis Coupe 2.0L Turbo the next logical upgrade is to improve the efficiency of the intercooler system. These performance intercoolers have thicker cores over stock and significant efficiency improvements. The cooler and denser you can make your intake charge the more power you are going to put down to the ground. We offer both intercooler cores and full kits complete with hard pipes for Genesis Coupe 2.0L Turbo. Popular
Hyundai Genesis intercooler brands include Greddy and HKS.
Often the first modification for turbocharged vehicles the blow off valve will help save your turbo from purging compressed air when coming off throttle and also holding the boost pressure without leaking while on throttle. We offer several styles of blow off valves for Genesis Coupe 2.0L Turbo including vent to atmosphere, 50/50, and 100% re-circulating versions. Featured
Hyundai Genesis blow off valve brands include HKS.
The Hyundai Genesis Coupe can become a serious performance vehicle and what better driver experience upgrade than a full suspension system. Our coilover systems allow you to fine tune the ride height of your Genesis Coupe while fine tuning the vehicle's dampening stiffness to your liking. These are the best choice for customers looking to do some aggressive street driving, as well as part time track duty as well as car shows. We carry top brands of
Hyundai Genesis coilovers such as KSport, ARK Performance, HKS and Megan Racing.
For lowered cars one aspect many overlook is proper alignment. Do not do this with your Genesis Coupe when adjustable control arms are available. Once you have lowered your vehicle to your desired driving height you want to have an alignment shop dial in the camber and toe settings. Check out these quality
Hyundai Genesis control arms from Megan Racing.
The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a gorgeous car off the show room floor but for many enthusiasts that is never enough. We offer over 20 complete body kits for the 2010-2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe from mild add on lip kits to full bumper replacement body kits. Available
Hyundai Genesis body kit brands include ARK Performance, Duraflex, JP USA, VFiber and VIS Racing.

I'm 21 years old and ever since I could remember I've asked for a horse every Christmas as a child. But we lived in the city before but now I live in the country where I can own horses! A neighbor just moved in down the street and they have three horses that they ride by my house almost every day. Watching them has given me the urge to buy a horse in my future.
I am a very nervous person by nature but my problem is I fear horses and I have confidence issues as well. The sad part of it is that my fear and lack of confidence didn't come from a fall; it was actually from my mom... lol. My mom has an even bigger fear than me. She rode her friend's horses all summer but it took one horrible incident to scar her, she witnessed her friend trying to break in a horse in a barb wire fence area, bad idea. The horse was caught in the barb wire fence and her friend was thrown.
I've only rode horses a handful of times since I was a child, mostly with my cousins and even though I was nervous I loved it and at the end I wish I had more time. But as I grew so did my fear and at sixteen I took one on one courses which taught me how to take care, groom, and ride a horse properly. I was very nervous and afraid but my confidence began to build up slowly and I began to trust the 16 hand paint horse I rode. Even though I became more confident I still was nervous and my pulse was racing. The worst was knowing the horse could sense my fear which made me all the more nervous. But all in all they accepted my beginner mistakes and never bucked me off. Everything was going fine until the 15 hand horse (5 years old) that I was starting to ride bolted because of the night crawlies (that's what my teacher told me… that horses get a little spooky at dawn and dusk?) I almost fell off but didn't. That crushed all my confidence and I felt like I was starting back at ground zero. Ever since then when I would ride which had to be around dusk because of my fathers working schedule, every time the horse would always get a little spooked which scared me.
I finished up my last courses and said I would return for more the next summer but never did because I felt too afraid and had no confidence what so ever anymore.
So fast forward four years later.
I've decided that I would like to learn as much about horses as possible through reading books etc. Next year I plan on taking courses again but this time I would like to do it at a slower pace for as long as it takes, start by grooming etc and slowly build myself up as well as my confidence. If all goes well I would love to purchase my first horse and continue to take courses with him but I would defiantly need one that is suited for a beginner.
What should I be looking for in a horse (breed, temperament, age, sex?)
What can I do to help ease my fears and help my confidence? Is it possible for someone like me to be able to push past my fears and become a rider?
I go to amusement parks and ride the huge rides, I motocross, skidoo, go four wheeling and I have taken my falls that hurt my confidence slightly but I get right back on the motocross and keep going just more cautiously for a while until my confidence is back. I think I fear riding a horse more because I know with a horse I am not in control of this ride (not fully) and it has a mind of it's own, I'm afraid of falling and hurting myself terribly.
Sorry for the LONG post!
And I want to thank everyone in advance for all your comments, advice and tips

The Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts (LSMSA), located in Natchitoches, provides academically gifted high school juniors and seniors with a challenging educational environment in an effort to accelerate the students' academic learning. The school is a free, public, residential high school which opened and formally began operation in the fall semester of 1983. The school operates under the jurisdiction of a board of directors, which appoints an unclassified director to manage the school. The LSMSA budget, summarized below, is organized into four program areas: Administration, Instructional, Residential, and Telelearning.
The Administration component is responsible for administering and supporting the LSMSA with the following essential services: program planning, school development and support, research, and review of data in order to develop comprehensive agency plans and specific programs to challenge youth.
Instructional services provides educational experiences for Louisiana's academically outstanding high school juniors and seniors by providing a challenging environment in an effort to accelerate the school's students' academic learning. This is done by pursuing the following strategies: an intensified method whereby the LSMSA student caries a larger classload than his/her counterpart in a regular high school; allowing the LSMSA student to develop at his or her own accelerated pace in company with other students; adapting the school's courses of instruction, methods and materials to the needs of each individual student; and maintaining the school's mandatory pupil/teacher ratio of 15:1. In addition, LSMSA provides advanced courses for students in smaller, remote high schools across the state.
Residential services provides a residential life atmosphere that complements the academic program, including recreational activities. Residential services entails: employing housemothers and monitors to develop rules for dormitory life and a schedule of activities; providing intramural and interscholastic sports as an athletic outlet for the school's population; providing students with the opportunity to work with various community service agencies; maintaining various clubs and a student government; and finally, sponsoring dances, concerts and other cultural and recreational pursuits for LSMSA students.
The Telelearning component is responsible for providing long-distance instructional services to schools through the state via computer and telephone connections. In addition, the program is intended to provide the professional staff, necessary equipment and instructional programs necessary for participating students to successfully complete the course of study requested by their school. The program is funded annually by a grant from the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE).

Collection names
The Musselman Library Browsing Room contains two separate but related collections: the Browsing Collection and the Cooper Collection.
Definition and purpose of the collection
Established in January 2003, the collections in the Browsing Room were established to encourage recreational reading as a means of personal discovery and self-education. These collections are selected for the cultural enrichment, educational enhancement, personal enjoyment, and avocational interests of the students, staff, and faculty of Gettysburg College.
Specifically, the two collections can be defined as follows:
Browsing Collection:
The Browsing Collection contains mostly contemporary and award-winning works of fiction, poetry, short stories, letters, graphic novels, and literary memoir. Selected, contemporary works of nonfiction, which are also award-winning or are of popular interest, may also be included.
The titles in the Browsing Collection are part of the permanent collection of Musselman Library. Therefore, duplication of titles in the general collection is not recommended.
Cooper Collection:
The Cooper Collection consists of a circulating collection of popular works and bestsellers, both fiction and nonfiction in nature. This collection is specifically designed to meet the pleasure-reading needs of the Gettysburg College community. Types of works in this collection includes popular fiction, such as bestsellers, mysteries, Westerns, crime fiction, romances, and science fiction; self-help and educational works; and bestselling nonfiction works on political science, history, art, music, and other topics.
Given the popular nature of the materials in the Cooper Collection, the majority of the works are generally not duplicated in the library's general collection. However, if a title is deemed suitable and of lasting value a copy may be purchased for inclusion in the Library's permanent collection.
Funding for the collection
Browsing Collection:
The Browsing Collection is funded by monies from Musselman Library's materials budget. As of FY 2004-2005, approximately $5,000 is budgeted for selections for the Browsing Collection. The Browsing Collection may also receive additional funding from the Baskerville Endowment, Cooper Endowment, and other library collection endowments that relate to the literary nature of the Browsing Collection.
Cooper Collection :
The Cooper Collection is funded by the library's Thomas Y. Cooper Endowment. Titles in the Cooper Collection are rented, rather than purchased. In FY 2004-2005, the library rented 300 titles for this collection, spending approximately $2,800 for these items.
Location of the collection
All titles featured in the Browsing Collection and the Cooper Collection are housed in the Browsing Room, located on the main floor of Musselman Library. The Browsing Collection is located on the east wall of the Browsing Room. The Cooper Collection is located on the center shelving units in the Browsing Room.
Level of collecting intensity
Collection levels employed by the Musselman Library are used both for policy development and for collection evaluation purposes. The collection levels are taken from the ¿WLN Collection Codes¿ as shown in the American Library Association's Guide for Written Collection Policy Statements, 2nd edition, 1996.
Because of the special nature of the Browsing Room collections, no one collecting level is entirely appropriate for these collections. However, the levels identified below may be useful for selectors, keeping in mind that some materials mentioned at the determined level (e.g., journals, dictionaries, etc.) may be out-of-scope for the nature of the collection.
Browsing Collection: Level 3, Study Level; Level 3b, Intermediate Study Level.
"A collection that is adequate to impart and maintain knowledge about a subject in a systematic way but at a level of less than research intensity. The collection includes a wide range of basic works in appropriate formats, a significant number of classic retrospective materials, complete collections of the works of more important writers, selections from the works of secondary writers, a selection of representative journals, access to appropriate machine-readable data files, and the reference tools and fundamental bibliographical apparatus pertaining to the subject. At the study level, a collection is adequate to support independent study and most learning needs of the clientele of public and special libraries, as well as undergraduate and some graduate instruction. The collection is systematically reviewed for currency of information and to assure that essential significant information is retained.
The intermediate subdivision of a level 3 collection provides resources adequate for imparting and maintaining knowledge about the basic or primary topics of a subject area. The collection includes a broad range of basic works in appropriate formats, classic retrospective materials, all key journals on primary topics, selected journals and seminal works on secondary topics, access to appropriate machine-readable data files, and the reference tools and fundamental bibliographical apparatus pertaining to the subject. These materials are adequate to support advanced undergraduate course work. It is not adequate to support master's degree programs."
Cooper Collection: Level 1, Minimal Level.
A subject area in which few selections are made beyond very basic works. A collection at this level should be frequently and systematically reviewed for currency of information. Superseded editions and titles containing outdated information are withdrawn.
Responsibility for selection
The Browsing Room Collections Coordinator is responsible for the selection of materials for both the Browsing and Cooper Collections. Input for selection is offered by the Director of Collection Development, as well as interested library staff.
Sources for selection
Browsing Collection:
Selections for the Browsing Collection are made chiefly from a number of library literature and book review journals including, but not limited to, the following:
- New York Times Book Review
- New York Review of Books
- Booklist
- Publishers Weekly
- Library Journal
Awards denoting literary merit are also used to select for the Browsing Collection. Winners and nominees for the following national and international awards are considered when selecting materials for the Browsing Collection:
- American Booksellers Association Awards (Booksense)
- Booker Prize
- Lambda Literary Awards
- National Book Award
- National Book Critics Circle Award
- Nobel Prize for Literature
- Orange Prize
- PEN/Faulkner Award
- Pulitzer Prize
- Whitbread Book Award
Cooper Collection:
Selections for the Cooper Collection are made from the McNaughton Company catalog, provided to the library monthly from the vendor. The catalog is shared with all library staff, requesting their input. Final selection is then made by the Browsing Room collections coordinator.
Formats of works selected
In general, both the Browsing Collection and the Cooper Collection are monographic in nature. Chiefly, only books are selected for these collections, although some works may feature additional materials in other formats (e.g., a book accompanied by a CD-ROM or audiotape).
As of FY 2004-2005, audiobooks (i.e., books on tape or compact disc) were being considered for addition to the Browsing Room collections. Audiobook titles will only be considered for the Cooper Collection, i.e., they will be rented rather than purchased. The selection criteria for audiobook titles meets that of other materials in the Cooper Collection. Titles will be selected on compact disk only.
Languages of works selected
Only works in English (American, British, Canadian, South African, etc.) are selected for inclusion in the Browsing and Cooper Collections. English translations of contemporary or award-winning foreign titles are also included.
Coordination with other subject areas
Browsing Collection:
As the Browsing Collection primarily consists of literature and literary works, coordination with selection for English is necessary, so as not to duplicate too many works in the Browsing Collection and the general, circulating collections. Some coordination with works selected in translation for Spanish, French, German, and Italian may also be needed for the same reason.
Cooper Collection:
As titles in the Cooper Collection are leased rather than purchased, there is less a need for coordination with other subject areas, as works in the Cooper Collection will eventually be returned to the vendor.
Chronological coverage and date of publication
Works housed in both Browsing Room collections shall not be limited by chronological coverage in subject (i.e., many different time periods may be represented in the materials selected for these collections).
As works in the Browsing Collection and Cooper Collection are contemporary in nature, the date of publication for works shall generally be within the most recent 2-3 years.
Geographical coverage and place of publication
In terms of subject matter, works selected may represent any and all geographic regions.
Number of copies selected
Browsing Collection Generally, only one copy of a title is purchased for the Browsing Collection.
Cooper Collection Generally, only one copy of a title is selected for the Cooper Collection. However, multiple copies may be selected, based on demand or interest.
Cooperative agreements impacting selection
None applicable.
Timetable for selection
Materials for the Browsing and Cooper Collections will be selected on an ongoing basis. One half of the monies budgeted for selection should be spent by December 31 and the other half by May 31.
Cataloging and shelving of materials
Browsing Collection:
Browsing Collection materials are fully cataloged by the Cataloging Department. Such materials are designated by the placement of a "Browsing Collection" spine label above the call number for ease of shelving.
Cooper Collection:
Cooper Collection materials are cataloged by the McNaughton Company, from whom the library rents materials for this collection. The books arrive with a green-colored spine label, complete with call number, which designates its inclusion in the Cooper Collection.
Circulation of materials
Materials in both the Browsing Collection and Cooper Collection circulate for 28 days ¿ regardless of library patron status. Titles can be renewed for an additional 28 days.
Evaluation and weeding
Browsing Collection:
Evaluation and weeding of the collection are undertaken as collection density and shelving necessitates, generally once a year. Upon evaluation, works in this collection may be transferred to the general collections or may be weeded. In general, materials should not reside in this collection for more than 2-3 years from the date of their addition.
The Browsing Room Collections Coordinator is responsible for the transferring or weeding of materials. Input may be sought by the Director of Collection Development or other library staff with appropriate subject knowledge.
When evaluating materials in the Browsing Collection, the following criteria may be applied:
Sustained interest in the book or subject, as reflected in circulation records, critical acclaim (positive reviews from respected critical sources), and/or critical success (e.g., prize-winning title)
- Physical condition of the book
- Number of copies of the title assigned to other locations in the collection
- Time elapsed since addition of the title to the collection
Cooper Collection:
Because materials in the Cooper Collection are rented rather than purchased from the distributor, titles in this collection have a short shelf life. Items in the Cooper Collection generally remain in the library's collection for no more than two years from the date of addition to the collection. After two years, titles should be either returned to the vendor or, if deemed consistently popular, purchased for the general, permanent collection of the Library.
When evaluating materials in the Cooper Collection, the following criteria may be applied:
- Sustained interest in the book or subject, as reflected in circulation records, critical acclaim (positive reviews from respected critical sources), and/or critical success (e.g., prize-winning title)
- Physical condition of the book
- Number of copies of the title assigned to other locations in the collection
- Time elapsed since addition of the title to the collection
Browsing Collection:
Works in the Browsing Collection are not considered rare or unique, thus they do not require that conservation measures be taken. However, some preservation efforts, namely routine maintenance such as mending, may be undertaken to preserve materials for future use. Nonetheless, works that become worn with use and age may be replaced by newer or better copies or may be weeded from the collection entirely.
Cooper Collection:
As works in the Cooper Collection are rented rather than purchased, worn materials may be returned to the vendor for replacement or for weeding.

In agreement on the value of free speech: Alma
Weinant & Gill Saunders. Photos by Connie Willett.
You certainly noticed the cover of this publication. The photo
[below this paragraph] shows a group
of involved citizens in a show of unity rather than division. What is remarkable about the photo, and the event that precipitated it, is that these
folks all met at the Crawford Town Park [in Crawford, Colorado] at 10am on Saturday, March 15th, at cross purposes -- and I am certain that everybody was at least a little bit uncomfortable at first. At least I was.
After all, the participants in the two camps ranged between the ages of two and 93, and nobody recalled a rally of any type being held in Crawford -
ever! But within an hour, those present, though still divided on certain issues, felt kinship enough to put down the placards, pick up the flags that both groups brought, and stand together for a photo. American patriots of different stripes, so to speak!
So what was it that brought over twenty people to the park on a beautiful 60°morning, with the birds singing songs of spring? The answer is War
. . . or Peace, depending on your inclination.
But a Peace Rally in Crawford!? The idea of it almost requires an exclamation point and a question mark! I decided to attend for several
reasons -- curiosity, novelty, a desire for journalistic material, and a wish to cast my vote publicly for "another way".
Well, like all of us, I have my opinions and could editorialize no end, but for now I will spare you my views of our international situation.
Here's how a Crawford rally and counter rally work -- and don't think that there are many other places in the world like Crawford . . .
By 10 am there was a group of about a dozen peace demonstrators -- myself included. We all had our placards. They read "No More War", "Why
Must My Gasoline Come With Blood", and so on. But by the time we became semi-organized, a group of about ten "counter demonstrators" had assembled
in another corner of the park. Some sported camouflage and blackening under their eyes -- in support of our troops as it turned out. Had I not known
everyone in this group, and known them to be fine people, I might have begun to worry.
Then came the only prepared speech of the morning. Event organizer,
Karen Gallob, made a thought provoking speech to those assembled.
And instead of the counter demonstrators disrespectfully interrupting -- as might happen in other places, the group listened and slowly came closer.
When she was done speaking, Karen asked those opposed to the peace rally to share their thoughts -- also not typical of rallies elsewhere.
The result was a mostly civil and impassioned discussion (not argument) with people of every viewpoint speaking. One member of the counter demonstration,
who lost a brother in Vietnam, explained, "I gathered up everyone I could find to come along and support our troops". Another said, "You get the
impression from television that peace activists are against our troops. I'm not really for the war, but I want to support our men and
A number of the demonstrators seemed taken aback that the counter demonstrators believed that the rally was
anti-military. And when it became apparent that it was not, most of the animosity seemed to evaporate.
After about 45 minutes of discussion, most present came to realize that there
was far more common ground around the issue than any had at first realized. We likely all had our own
viewpoints altered somewhat by the exchange.
And in the end, democracy was the winner and community prevailed over politics. Let's hope that happens in the rest of the world! What a great
country we live in.

As with many aspects of safety on our roadways, research and statistics suggest that installing pedestrian crosswalks may not do much for pedestrian safety. A Washington State Department of Transportation "Pedestrian Collision Report" of pedestrian/vehicle accidents found that most occurred during daylight hours between April through September on dry pavement. The leading driver contribution to the accident was failure to yield, inattention and alcohol in that order. The leading pedestrian contribution was inattention, failure to yield, and alcohol in that order. Failure to the use the crosswalk was fourth. The Arizona State Department of Transportation used that study for it own crosswalk policy and describes covers the advantages and disadvantages of crosswalks in "Pedestrian Crosswalks - How Safe Are They?" Note that this material is based on research conducted in the City of San Diego, now one of the safest pedestrian cities in the country. This study found that the ratio of pedestrian accidents in marked crosswalks to those in unmarked crosswalks was 6 to 1 and even after some adjustments to the data, the ratio was 2 to 1.
Traffic engineers install crosswalks sparingly because we do not want to foster a false sense of security in people crossing the street. There may be other more effective measures that can be taken to address your pedestrian safety concerns. If you have a question about crosswalks or other pedestrian safety measures, contact the Pavement Marking group at 206-477-3612.

text: Tennesse narrowly defeated Georgia Tech in an intense recruiting battle for Stephenson linebacker Nigel Mitchell-Thornton. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder said he was influenced after a "4-0" vote in favor of Tennessee during a recent meeting with his parents and Stephenson coach Ron Gartrell. All four wrote down a list of five schools which would be the best for Mitchell-Thornton. "Tennessee was No. 1 on all four, and that was important to me, that those people closest to me felt the same way about the same school, " Mitchell-Thornton said. "However, they all told me to think more about it, and that the final decision had to be mine." Mitchell-Thornton finally felt the timing was right, calling Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer: "He thought I just calling to talk. When I committed, he said it was a great day for linebackers because they [Tennessee] had gotten another linebacker commitment just a few minutes earlier." D.T. Shackelford of Decatur, Ala., also committed to Tennessee. Mitchell-Thornton said Tech was the runner-up: "I really like the new coaches and think Georgia Tech's program is going in a great direction. But they are doing a lot of changes on both offense and defense. On defense, it seems like they will be using smaller linebackers who will be used more in coverage. Georgia Tech didn't tell me that, but that's just the way I saw it. I just felt like my style of play fit in better at Tennessee." Thornton-Mitchell's other offers included Stanford, Duke, Mississippi State, Wake Forest and Nebraska, among others.

44 inch Thule fairing for 2012 Honda Odessey
Have a 2012 Honda Odessey. Thule site recommended 38 inch fairing but when I got it it was 10 inches too narrow. Got the 44 inch that was perfect. It is absolutely amazing the difference in the lack of wind noise with the fairing. Before I couldn't stand to leave the racks on if not being used, now they never come off. Thanks Backcountry for the ease in swapping the racks and great service.

Below is the poem entitled Hope in the Darkness which was written by poet
Anish. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Matthew Anish
Last night darkness
grew around her
Tied up and sedated
She was facing nothingness
(not without pain)
Even while her emotions
were being dulled by the chemicals
She still had electrical hopes
A plea for peace
came from her tortured lips
Does it seem like you
were there with her?
Only in spirit, friend
For she is facing the shadows alone
As memories well up in her
She breathes (not for the last time)

What to Bring?Posted by: | Comments
While many of our guest make plans to spend some time with us at Hospital Hospitality House, being in medical crisis is generally not a planned thing. We also try to provide the comforts of a home-away-from home. That being said, there are certain things that we can provide, and certain things you might like to bring.
While we provide linens for your room, and you can certainly exchange them each day, we also provide a laundry room. Any favorite towels or blankets can certainly come with you. You can also bring detergent, but we have donated detergents should you need them.
Bring your favorite book or magazine. We have a library, just off of our lobby, and it's relatively well stocked. We may not have the latest blockbusters, so be prepared.
Toiletries are another item that we receive through donations. Bring what you think you'll need, and we can help to fill in what you've forgotten.
We have a communal kitchen stocked with supplies and donated food. We also have meals that are prepared on a regular basis by our volunteers. If you have favorites, or a restricted diet, you may label, store, and prepare it in our kitchen.
We also have a dedicated pediatric floor. Our volunteers have decorated and stocked it to make it as kid-friendly as possible. It is, however, for pediatric patients. If your little one is with a guest, make plans to keep them entertained. We keep a decent supply of board games and such for our general guests, but perhaps not enough for the littlest visitors.
Bring your attitude – the good one. We've provided Hospital Hospitality House as a place of healing. We love what we do, and you have our support, but it will be up to you to get better!
A Pathway to HealingPosted by: | Comments
People come to us for one reason: They or a loved one are in medical crisis and need someplace to rest during treatment. Around 150 guests call Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond "home" on any given evening. And that's very much our mission – to create a "home away from home."
The benefits of a stay at the Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond go far beyond finances and temporary housing. Hospital Hospitality House guests find in one another what guests at other temporary housing (like hotels) may lack: companionship. In times of crisis, people in similar situations band together to overcome both physically and emotionally taxing situations. We see this happening every day here at the House, and firmly believe that something as simple as having someone to talk to is a crucial part of the healing process.
Don't just take our word for it, though. Studies have shown that physical contact can increase the body's production of serotonin, a chemical neurotransmitter that is thought to contribute to feelings of happiness. Physical contact also promotes the secretion of oxytocin, a hormone that has been shown to aid in physical healing. As you can see, even a small gesture such as a loving embrace can make a world of difference.
One of our guests told us, "The staff and other guests were so helpful when my husband had his liver transplant. They became my family." Another said, "I was there for a few weeks. You were like family to us."
It's comments like these make us look forward to coming in to work each day even more than we already do.
We often have friends who stop by with gifts of donuts, paper goods, or food for our pantry. We maintain a solid wish list of things that are always needed, and donations go a long way towards making things a bit easier. When our friends stop by, they don't dash in and out. They say hello, and often stay for a while to help prepare a meal or play a board game. Although they're technically our friends, we view and treat them as family.
We're also reliant on friends for funding. We're the largest Hospitality House in the nation that exists solely on donations. Your donations recently helped to pay for the replacement of some aging air conditioning. Our new cooling tower is much more efficient and environmentally friendly, and should keep our guests comfortable for many years to come.
Closing the streets around our building for an entire day to lift tons of equipment 7-stories caused quite a commotion. In addition to our volunteers and staff, many of our guests took some time to enjoy a moment of good weather and take in the spectacle. This brought our Hospital Hospitality House family even closer for the better part of a day.
A week ago, we walked past our library and parlor areas while pondering the thousands of appreciative guests who've passed through over the years, thankful for a respite from the worries of ill health. This quiet workspace for our volunteer social workers and librarian has always been a particularly peaceful area of the House. We remarked about how peaceful we felt whenever we walked down that particular corridor, and our volunteer librarian replied, "I understand. It's a pathway to healing."
Perhaps that's what we are. A bit of respite, a bit of family, a home away from home, and most importantly, a pathway to healing.
Have a HeartPosted by: | Comments
There are a wide variety of guests who stay with us at Hospital Hospitality House. They are young and old, small and large, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, and from all over the world. Our guests have had medical emergencies, are dealing with a genetic defect, fighting cancer, and more. Ill health isn't very discriminating, you see.
Some of the folks who stay with us are awaiting a new organ, either due to illness, injury, or disease. A while back, we met an amazing woman who was awaiting a heart. When a heart replacement first became a reality, the device that kept you alive during the wait for a donor organ was about the size of a small room. This woman was one of the first in the country to test-drive an innovation from VCU – the Freedom Driver. It was (and is!) a heart machine that pumps for you, and it fits in a small backpack. While this lady was waiting for a donor heart, she took her Freedom Driver to Waynesboro to do some fly-fishing. That's about 100 miles from us.
That being said, it's American Heart Month.
Spearheaded by the American Heart Association, and begun 50 years ago, Heart Month uses February to educate and raise awareness about heart-related illnesses and disease. The American Heart Association, founded in 1924, has become our nation's leading advocate for promoting heart health.
This year, President Obama issued an official proclamation recognizing February as the month to improve our heart health. He and the First Lady encourage all of us to wear a bit of red to show our solidarity and promote the message.
And it's a real issue.
Each year, around 600,000 people die of heart disease. That's 1 in 4 deaths. It's the number one killer of women, and kills more than cancer. While some are the result of the infirmities of old age, some are entirely preventable.
The easiest way to start protecting your heart is with a healthy diet – one that is low in salt, and includes lots of healthy fruits and vegetables. The second way is to get a bit of exercise. We're not recommending that everyone go out and join a gym, and you may need to consult with your doctor first, but the Centers for Disease Control suggest a brisk 10-minute walk, 3 times a day, 5 days a week. You can start slowly, and then build up to that marathon or iron man race.
Lastly, schedule a checkup. A trained professional can evaluate your blood pressure, monitor your heart rate, and suggest a proper course of action.
Former President Clinton, known for his addiction to sweet and fatty foods, discovered in 2004 that he had coronary artery disease. Fearing a looming massive heart attack, his physicians suggested and performed quadruple bypass surgery. He began a more regimented exercise schedule, switched to a vegetarian diet, and told CNN that he felt better and had more energy than ever. His weight dropped to 185; a number he'd not seen since he was 13.
As much as we enjoy our time with our guests here at Hospital Hospitality House, and are thankful for being able to provide a home away from home, we wish we weren't needed. Take stock of what you have today, and take steps to protect your heart. Truth be told, we hope that we don't see you.
It's Nice to Hear Thank YouPosted by: | Comments
We do this because we have a great passion for helping others. We strive to provide some comfort to those in medical crisis. But every once in a while, it's nice to hear a "Thank You."
On June 24th, the World Pediatric Project (WPP) announced the recipient of their Julian C. Metts Jr. Humanitarian of the Year at their Annual Board Meeting. The recipient of this distinguished award was none other than our very own President & CEO, Babs Jackson and the Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond! This honor is "awarded to the individual or group who during the year has best exemplified the passionate heartfelt dedication to healing children who other have no hope of receiving help.â€
WPP empowers children, families, and communities through their four-tiered approach. First they send highly trained teams of pediatric specialists to provide critical medical services for patients in need around the world. Second, they develop health education prevention programs that are open to the public programs and targeted at reducing birth defects and preventable diseases. Third, they coordinate care for children in need of especially complex care and transport the children to US-based, or advanced regional facilities that are capable of providing the services they need. Finally, they work with local healthcare providers to come up with sustainable solutions to provide healthcare resources.
For WPP children and their guardians, we provide a home away from home. WPP Patient Care Coordinator sees us "as the provider not only of amenities and a safe place to stay, but also a space where a sense of community is created and able to flourish amongst the families†staying at the House. Closeness and bonding form between patients, families, and our staff.
WPP's blog post announcing the Humanitarian of the Year mentions our very own Ms. Ethel, our 8th Floor custodian, for her ability to provide a loving and comforting presence for families staying at the House:
"They all love her, she takes care of them, and the relationship she builds with the families is a strong one. She asks about patients and remembers them if they have to come back for further care. She is just one example of why our partnership (HHH and WPP's) works.â€
Although Babs is retiring this year, the WPP points out she is leaving behind an incredible service and that her legacy will remain the solid ground and culture for HHH. She has certainly enriched all of our lives, and we'll try to live up to her example.
Making a LifePosted by: | Comments
A few of us were sitting in the library at Hospital Hospitality House the other day.
First: Yes, we have a library, full of wonderful donated books and games. Secondly: This is not something that we get to do very often.
It was a day much like any other, and as we discussed our plans for the upcoming Fancy Hat Party and Hats Off shindigs, we heard some discussion from around the corner. At the start of the meeting we had noticed a few folks checking in and the voice we now heard seemed to be giving a sort of tour:
"That's the library. If you'd like something to read and maybe pass the time, there's a pretty good selection in there. If you go through those doors, you'll find the dining room. We've got a group coming in tonight to make spaghetti for everybody, and they're nice ladies. They usually get a good Bingo game going after supper.â€
The person leading this tour? The gentleman who drives our courtesy van. He works for us, driving people to and from their appointments and visits with the doctors nearby. But he seems to have expanded his list of responsibilities. In addition to knowing which building houses chemotherapy and which reconstructive surgery, he knows where to get a good sandwich, where to find a newspaper or toothbrush, and where to sit and look at the Governor's mansion in the afternoon sun. And every time he brings a new guest to Hospital Hospitality House, he offers a little guided tour.
This made us think about how things sort of operate here at The House. While few of us are really full-time "employees,†we all have some sort of title or job description. But everyone who "works†here does a little bit of everything. Volunteers perform many of the tasks that keep our oars in the water. The spaghetti dinner was provided by volunteers. Songs and concerts during holidays are sung and played by volunteers. Things like Bingo are organized by volunteers. They are all people who have chosen to give, and to give to us.
We always look forward to annual events like our Fancy Hat Party, and they are always a blast, but they are a necessity. The funds that are raised at these events pay for things like detergent and new bed linens and electricity and indoor plumbing. It is your generosity that keeps our doors open.
Winston Churchill said,
"We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give.â€
It sometimes seems that we live at Hospital Hospitality House, and many of us make our living here, but for our guests, it means their life. When we pause for a moment and think of it that way, we're living pretty large.
You know…For Kids!Posted by: | Comments
It should come as no great surprise that we have a soft spot for our little guests. If you look at our cover photo on our Facebook page, you'll see a picture of Maria and Teresa – The Twins.
Our Twins.
Granted, they didn't come to Richmond to see us. They came to see the fantastic doctors at the VCU/MCV Hospital. The Twins were born conjoined, and stayed with us for a while as they prepared for their eventual separation. Students from VCU made dresses for them to wear before and after their surgery, art students made plaster casts for the doctors to use during planning sessions, and everyone connected to the project seemed to take a personal interest. And it was quite the project, there were hundreds of people involved, and it was quite interesting.
Maria and Teresa are from the Dominican Republic. They came to Richmond through the hard work of World Pediatric Project. WPP actually started here in Richmond, and help find solutions to healing critically ill children in developing nations. Sometimes that means initiating programs in those countries, and sometimes that means sending children to a hospital here in the United States that has the staff and knowledge to help them.Â
Maria and Teresa are, by the way, not the first young guests of Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond who arrived with passports. We've seen children and families from Honduras, Belize, and many other foreign countries. Our only rules for guests is that they must live outside of a 30 mile radius of downtown Richmond and be receiving care from an affiliated hospital.
That often means children.
It is for this reason that an entire floor of Hospitality House has been designed for children. They come to us for chemotherapy, for treatment of birth defects, for emergency care, and more. But they're still kids, and this floor provides them with a kitchen where family members can whip up homemade meals, with a family room where they can sit around like at home, and a play room furnished with enough toys to invite much-needed play time.
Even if you have cancer or a heart defect – if you're a child you need your family and you need to play. That's an unwritten Hospitality House rule, but one that we never, ever, ever break.
We're fortunate to be located in a town with such amazing medical facilities. We're practically across the street from the main campus of VCU/MCV, and they are one of at least a dozen world-class hospitals that each provide cutting edge care to patients. These patients are often youngsters. VCU/MCV has even broken ground on The Children's Pavilion, a huge facility dedicated to providing care for our little ones. They already have Children's Hospital of Richmond, but this will add a new spot to meet the growing need here in town.
Civic leaders here in Richmond recently debated creating a free-standing Children's Hospital in our city. They invited leaders from some of the most innovative children's hospitals in the country. Many argued that we have a distinct need for one in Richmond, and many argued that hospitals like VCU/MCV are already meeting that need.
We're not sure either way, but we know that there will always be room for their patients here.
Treat Your Doctor Like Your Auto MechanicPosted by: | Comments
Going to the doctor is scary, isn't it? When you meet with a medical professional, what they tell you can be scary. And it carries some gravity, because they are, after all, professionals, right?
Sort of.
Your doctors are the best source of information and should be relied on when making decisions about your health. Remember that they are, after all, human beings first, and can make mistakes. In fact, over 100,000 people will die in America this year from a medical mistake. They can be as drastic as a mistake during a surgery to something seemingly careless like a miss-read prescription. Sometimes it is a doctor's physical action, and sometimes it is inadequate care.
But there are things that you can do to help reduce your risk (and your doctor's risk!) and improve the quality of your care. And it's really very similar to talking to your auto mechanic.
When you take your car in for service, you tend to be pretty specific about what's going on. You describe a certain sound, a vibration, or colorful smoke spouting off from under the hood. When you meet with your doctor, you should share everything. Your discussion should not be limited to what you immediately think is wrong with you. One symptom may be linked to another and may be an indication of a larger problem. Doing this is easier if you prepare a list of what's ailing you.
You also question your mechanic after he's made his initial diagnosis. When your doctor offers his or her opinion, start asking your questions. "What causes this?â€Â "How will you fix this?â€Â "Are there any other things that could cause this to happen?â€Â This is partly for your own information, but it will often make your doctor think outside of the box, and perhaps realize that they've diagnosed incorrectly or overlooked something.
Use your common sense. If your transmission is slipping and the garage wants to sell you brakes, you would certainly question that. You are truly the best judge of how you feel, so take that confidence into your doctor's office. If you are used to certain medications, question the side effects and interactions of any new ones. Ask why a doctor recommends a certain medication or procedure.
When you've gone to a doctor, or to your mechanic, you have formed a relationship. It's a partnership of sorts, with one of you needing service and the other providing it. Keep this in mind on your next visit, and help your doctor make the right decisions for you.
After all, doctors don't offer rentals.
Our Kind of Summer Camp: The CVBCPosted by: | Comments
We spent some time over the recent holidays watching football. Don't ask, don't judge, and we were sorry, like everyone else, when the Redskins lost. But this is not about that.
One of the things that we caught during the Holidays was the Rose Bowl Parade. That's the big one in Pasadena, California. What made it kind of nice this year was seeing Hannah Storm. She's a big-time ESPN anchor and sports junkie. We were kind of worried about her. Storm, you see, had an accident and was severely burned. During her Rose Bowl appearance, she had fake hair and eyebrows, and you could clearly see one of her hands bandaged.
Hannah Storm was trying to light a gas grill when it sent a fireball into her face, leaving her with first and second-degree burns on her face, hands and chest. She lost most of her hair and is still battling an infection. She was glad to be back on the air, but still has trouble with her hand, making it difficult for her to pick things up or flip through cue cards.
Seeing Storm made us think of some other burn victims. Most are like her, and never expected to get burned. It was some accident or moment of carelessness. And sadly, it frequently happens to children. Perhaps it's childhood curiosity or the fact that they don't yet know what qualifies as dangerous?
Later that evening, while trying to digest too much turkey and tired of football, we saw something inspiring on PBS. It was a profile of a camp designed specifically for young burn victims. Or as they like to call them, burn "survivors.â€Â We like that better. You can see it for yourself here.
The Central Virginia Burn Camp (CVBC) was established around 20 years ago in Charlottesville by the Charlottesville Professional Firefighters Association. Firefighters, like burn survivors, have some first-hand experience in the dangers and perils of dealing with fire and its destructive nature. For those who have been injured, this destruction is in the form of scars, loss of hair, and often involves months and years of surgery and rehabilitation. CVBC was created to provide youngsters from 7 to 17 a place to be kids, among people who have had similar experiences, and free from the worry of stares and questions. For a week every summer, they just have to be kids.
The Camp is staffed with counselors, therapists, nurses, and firefighters from throughout the state. They engage their young charges in swimming, boating, horseback riding, arts and crafts, and other fun summertime activities. Just like every other kid. And yes, they have an evening bonfire. What would summer camp be without one?
The best part about it is this: Central Virginia Burn Camp is free.  They receive sponsorships from a ton of firefighter associations, the University of Virginia Health System, and other like-minded groups. They also are like us, a non-profit, and as such count on donations from individuals to keep stocked up in sunscreen and marshmallows.  Many of the kids who go there have been treated right here at VCU and we've met some families as their kids go back and forth for therapy and reconstruction surgeries.
You probably know that we're pretty passionate about the "littles†that spend time here at Hospital Hospitality House. And we genuinely need and appreciate your donations of time, money and goods. But we had to share this story.
Holiday Health, for your Brain!Posted by: | Comments
We love the holidays. It's a wonderful time. Even here at Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond! Last week Love Limousine and New Market/Afton Chemicals joined forces to take a bunch of our guests on a tour to see some of Richmond's tackiest holiday lights and displays. In a limousine! That was great and everyone had a great time.
But the holidays can be tough on people, and especially the folks who stay with us here at Hospital Hospitality House. This time of year often brings on bouts of depression and anxiety. Imagine dealing with this when you're already dealing with a physical medical crisis!
There are many different forms of depression, and they manifest themselves in a number of different ways. But there are some common signs that you may notice in yourself or others.
A common sign of depression is irritability. You're worried about holiday shopping and visits, or you're stuck here with us and miss your family, and you begin to lash out. Feeling short-tempered? It's common, but may be a sign of something deeper. During this stressful time, learn how to say no. Take a moment to yourself. It's important to understand that you can't be everywhere doing everything for everyone. You can't really control everything, and understanding that will help you to control your emotions.
Another sign is losing interest. This may mean losing interest in eating, interacting with others, or quitting a hobby that one enjoys. It's important to move forward. As much as we like to stuff ourselves during this time of year, move forward with your healthy eating. It gives you energy and is important to your health. If you play bridge every Wednesday, then play bridge. We often have volunteers here at Hospital Hospitality House who engage our guests in games. Keeps things interesting. Likewise, if a friend or loved one seems to fall out of touch it might be a good time to reconnect. Just a check-in.
Understand that your current feelings or medical condition are something that you experience but are not who you are. There might be a loss of self-worth if you cannot do some of the things that you were used to, like household chores or a sport. But these feelings and conditions can change. Sure, you may have to make modifications to your life, but being depressed or sick isn't who you are. Just like that feeling of control, you can't control these feelings any more than you can cure your own heart disease.Â
Which brings us to the most important point: There's always help. No matter how much you think that you might know about yourself, there's someone who probably knows better. Those of us who are parents understand this. And this help may mean taking a medication to treat your symptoms, just like a physical disease. You often face rehabilitation after a medical crisis, and you may for your depression as well. Instead of physical therapy it's mental therapy. This means sitting with a professional and talking through your worries. They may help to bring some clarity or sense to what you're feeling.
Not everyone has the leisure of a stress-free holiday. And some may experience more stress than others. This stress may cause issues with mental health. Get to know the warning signs and tackle it head on.
Holidays at Hospital Hospitality House of RichmondPosted by: | Comments
So, we had a pretty good Thanksgiving. Saw some friends, kissed a baby, and ate too much. Survived Black Friday without going to the Mall, bought a book from a local shop on Small Business Saturday, and clicked some buys for Cyber Monday. And now we're getting ready for Christmas and the Holidays. But it's different here.
The folks who stay with us over the Holidays didn't visit with family, and most had to watch their diets. They didn't go out for Black Friday, most didn't wander Carytown for Small Business Saturday, and they won't be decorating a tree. They're here with us for the Holidays, far from their families.
Not that they're without a Holiday.  We have some wonderful volunteers who come to Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond every year to decorate, put up a tree, and serve meals during the Holiday Season. We get pretty close with our guests, and many of them make great friends while they're here, and so they're not completely without friends, and to a certain extent, a sort of family. During Thanksgiving week, we had meals prepared by the VCU Community Health and Wellness Network and the Hanover Youth Council. Last year the local group Offering came by and sang to our guests. The year before that, a whole gang of kids from Midlothian High School came by to help decorate and make sure that Hospitality House was appropriately festive. And we try each year to get as many folks out of the Hospitality House as we can to stand on Broad Street and watch the Richmond Christmas Parade. No matter where you are, everyone loves a parade.
And these volunteers bring more than turkey, tinsel and musical instruments. They bring smiles, hugs, and a sense of camaraderie. They pause and talk to our guests, and more importantly, they listen. "Where are you from?†will bring a story of neighbors and missed pets. They wonder about their homes and missed mail, and the folks who come help out around here listen. They care about the feelings of those who are stuck here in Richmond during a time when everyone should be around loved ones.
Maybe that's why they do it? That's kind of why we do it.
"To give patients and their families a place to call home during their stay in Richmond.â€
We're a non-profit, and survive mostly through the largesse and goodwill of our volunteers, our donors, and, well, people like you. We don't do it for money or recognition. We do it because we realize that there are people who come to Richmond because they're in medical crisis, and we're blessed with some of the best health professionals in the country. Our guests aren't here to go sightseeing, and their trip is often unplanned. Would anyone choose to stay with us on Christmas day?
As you gather with your friends and family this Holiday season, remember Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond. Sure, there are many of us who will be here on Christmas Day, and New Year's and Hanukah; but we'll kind of be working and will go home at the end of our day. For our guests, though, they won't have a choice. They didn't really come here of their own volition.
Perhaps to get into the Holiday Spirit you could volunteer at the House? Organize your group to come down and prepare a meal, sing some songs, or just hang out with some guests. Our wish list stays pretty full, and some new decorations or some fresh board games could go a long way. Maybe instead of fighting the crowds at the Mall you could give a gift to Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond in your loved one's name?
We all get a little break during the Holidays, but medical crisis doesn't get a vacation. It will be right here.

Marnitz Hits For Cycle As Cats Rout Indiana State
SAN DIEGO, Calif. ?University of Kentucky junior Brooke Marnitz hit for the cycle tonight, Feb. 25, as the Kentucky (7-5) softball team defeated Indiana State (0-3) 11-3 in five innings. Marnitz is just the second Wildcat to hit for the cycle and the first since Angie Dal Pozzo on March 9, 2001, against Akron.
Unlike Dal Pozzo, Marnitz achieved the feat in just four at-bats. Marnitz doubled in the first inning, homered in the second, tripled in the fourth and singled in her fourth at-bat in the fifth and final inning.
?Hitting for the cycle is a great accomplishment for any batter,? said second-year head coach Eileen Schmidt. ?That was a pretty amazing thing to witness tonight, especially since Brooke was able to do it in four at-bats.?
The Cats recorded season-highs with 11 runs on 16 hits for their second run-rule win of the season. UK downed Kent State in five innings earlier this season by a score of 9-0 on Feb. 16 in its home opener.
UK started the scoring with four runs on in the top of the second. Katie Campbell singled to second base to lead off the inning. Lori Melchi reached on a two-out fielder?s choice and Ali Ray followed with a single to drive in the first run of the game and of her collegiate career. Marnitz followed with her third homer of the season to give the Cats a 4-0 lead.
The Sycamores plated one run in the bottom of the frame on a double and a sacrifice fly to make it 4-1 after two innings.
Kentucky added three runs in the fourth after Marnitz tripled to lead off the inning. Megan Miller drew a walk to put runners at the corners for Megan Cooper who delivered a single to center to score Marnitz from third and put Miller at second. Ashley Fertic singled to load the bases for Katie Campbell who drove in a pair of runs with a single to left field and make it a 6-1 UK lead.
The Wildcats batted around in the fifth and plated four more runs on five hits. Megan Glenn scored the first run of the inning when Lori Melchi doubled down the left field line. Fertic drove in a run with a single through the right side, while Campbell drove in a pair with a ground-rule double to left center field to put the Cats on top 11-1.
ISU attempted a comeback in the bottom of the fifth and scored two runs on three hits, including a solo homer and an RBI single, but that was as close as they would come and the Cats held on for the nine-run win.
Freshman Lindsay Brogdon got the win and improves to 2-1 on the year. She allowed just three runs on seven hits and did not walk a batter in 5.0 innings of work.
Marnitz had a career day at the plate. She went 4-for-4 with three runs scored and four RBIs. The four at-bats and four RBIs are new career-highs, while she tied career-highs with four at-bats and three runs scored. Katie Campbell also tied a career-high with four hits as she went 4-for-4 with three RBIs and one run scored.
Fertic went 2-for-4 with an RBI in her first game as the UK backstop. Miller was 2-for-3 with a run scored, while Cooper went 2-for-3 with an RBI and scored two runs. Glenn pushed her hitting streak to a career-high eight games.
?That is the Kentucky team that we have seen in previous weeks this season,? said Schmidt. ?Lindsay Brogdon did a great job on the mound and Ashley Fertic was great behind the plate for the first time in her career because we?re short-handed by injuries. Cooper and Fertic both did a good job of adjusting at the plate and this was a total team effort. I hope we can continue to build on this tomorrow.?
The Cats wrap up play at the Aztec Invitational tomorrow, Feb. 26, when they take on Loyola Marymount at noon.
