Dear Parents,
I am looking forward to the holiday season as I'm sure you are too!
So many terrific things have happened here at Aquinas this semester. Our student-faculty research initiative expanded beyond the sciences this year with new projects being funded in art, athletic training, marketing, music and sociology. Our fall athletic teams have experienced great success. We continue to plan Phase II of the Sports and Fitness Center and hope to break ground soon. We enjoyed a fantastic Homecoming and a host of other activities planned by our Campus Life staff.
You can keep track of all the events on campus by checking out our calendar on the Aquinas website.
We've enjoyed a wonderful semester, but it is time for everyone to take a break and celebrate Christmas with friends and family. May you experience the blessings of the season!
Juan R. Olivarez, Ph.D.
Greetings and Happy Holidays! As our students finish up their semester and find themselves half way through the year, I thought I might take a minute to share some thoughts regarding our developmental goals for each of the academic levels of our students. Some students will be ahead of schedule while others will be working into the second semester toward some of these goals. You may find it helpful to have a conversation with your student over the holidays about how they see themselves with regard to these areas of growth.
Let's begin with our first year students. During the early part of a student's first year, we focus on teaching the student how to navigate our campus and familiarize them with the college and our variety of resources. We then start to
encourage the student to begin some self-assessment. It is our hope that students will begin to identify their skills, abilities, goals and values during their freshman year. We ask them to ponder questions such as "Who am I" and "What are my strengths?"
As students transition into their sophomore year, we ask them to research and begin to explore a variety of potential career opportunities. Many students will have completed our required career development course (CD 200) by the end of their sophomore year resulting in a map to their future. We also encourage students to declare a major in their sophomore year, so that we can pair them with an adviser in their intended career field. We have a sophomore pinning ceremony as part of our Students in Action Awards on Friday, April 5 where we celebrate all of our sophomores who have declared their major. It is important to note that some students will change their minds, but we feel that answering questions such as "Where am I going?" And "Who and what do I want to become?" are important developmentally in the sophomore year.
The theme of year three then becomes acquiring experience and reality testing. By the junior year, we love to see students study abroad, do internships, and participate in service learning trips and other activities to gain experience. We focus on asking the question, "What activities will best prepare me for what I want to become?" Our third year students also become very involved in leadership roles in our campus clubs and organizations, gaining valuable experience while sharpening their leadership skills.
As we get to the senior year, we strongly encourage students to begin a proactive job search or to check out graduate or professional schools. If your soon to be college graduate has not yet initiated these activities, it is time for them to start. Networking and conducting an aggressive job search is essential in the senior year. An AQ graduate who landed a job before graduation advises that it is never too early to start connecting with resources in the community. Crafting a quality resume that differentiates your student and articulates their broad liberal arts education with career preparation will greatly enhance their opportunities for employment.
It is with this in mind, that we are very proud to have a new resource available to our students. Starting in the fall of 2010, Mr. Tim Ramsay, Assistant Director of Campus Life and Mr. Eric Bridge, Director of Service Learning began documenting participation in clubs and organizations, and service learning trips that our student have experienced both on and off campus. When I was reading through our survey of student engagement, I realized that students often fail to recognize their involvement in extra and co-curricular activities. For example, over 90% of our students surveyed as freshmen acknowledged that they had been involved in some sort of service learning. When we surveyed these same students as seniors the number fell to closer to 70%. We know that these students had done service learning as part of their Project Unite experience in their freshman year, but somehow had forgotten this by the time they were seniors. To help our students get started on their resumes and graduate school applications, I am grateful that Eric and Tim are putting together an Aquinas Affiliation, Organization and Membership screen. We plan on promoting this screen (which is available to students on their "MYAQ" login) beginning second semester. This "MYAQ" is the same place where your student goes to view their academic transcript, their report card, as well as to add and drop classes. While this is not a comprehensive list, we hope that students will use it as a resource to help jar their memory, as well as to differentiate themselves on their resumes and graduate school applications.
As your student arrives back home for the holidays, we as part of your extended Aquinas family, wish you the very best and we look forward to a great 2013!

The joy of the holidays is welcomed by all. It is a time to reconnect with your child during the holiday break. Though your child is entering adulthood and becoming more independent, he or she will still need your help and support. Stress during the holidays can be overwhelming at times. When a child lives on campus most of the year the family dynamics often change. Adjusting to these changes can be challenging for the student and the family. Here are some tips for coping during the holiday break:

Aquinas College sophomore
2012 Rome Program Participant
EWTN Global Catholic Television Network Intern
There is no better way to start your day than waking up at 5 a.m., hopping on a bus at 6 a.m., and attending mass at St. Peter's at 7 a.m., followed by drinking a cup of cappuccino and eating 30 cent pastries while enjoying the beautiful sunrise and awakening of the city of Rome. This has been my life so far this semester, and I could not be more pleased with my time spent experiencing a new culture while studying abroad through the Rome Program. The opportunities I've had, things I've learned, and the growth I've gained spiritually, I will have for the rest of my life, and it is truly a blessing.
Every day is a new adventure. I've learned to let go and let God, because really His plan is the one that matters, not mine. I've been fortunate enough to meet some incredible people from all around the U.S. and travel around the world with them as we have become one family this semester. Other than living in Rome, we've been to Assisi, the Amalfi Coast, Florence, Venice, Padua, London, and my favorite experience - our pilgrimage to Poland.
Besides taking classes, eating delicious food cooked by Italian chefs every day, touring the city of Rome, and experiencing Italian culture, I've had the most amazing opportunity to intern with EWTN Global Catholic Television Network at the Vatican! I am beyond thankful for this opportunity and the experiences I've had so far that have come with it. It has provided me the opportunity to gain experience in the fields I'm interested in, those being business, communications and Catholic Studies. Before I came to Rome, I heard about possible internship opportunities at the Vatican, but I had no idea they were this great. Let me just list a few of the opportunities I've had so far through my internship.
My semester abroad has been the most fulfilling and life changing experience of my life. My perspective of the world has been widened immensely, I've enriched my faith, and I feel empowered to, as St. Ignatious said, "Go and set the world on fire."
I could not have imagined or asked for a better experience thus far and I'm excited to share my experiences and faith with others upon my return.
One last note, I transcribed an interview at my internship one day. These words by a priest at the Vatican really stuck out to me, and they perfectly describe my experience here in Rome: "Coming to Rome broadens horizons. You meet Catholics from all over the world. You get in contact with the center of the Church, with the history of this extraordinary city. It changes you. It makes you a better human being, and it makes you a better Catholic."

Anna M. Martorano Elementary School Intern
I am so blessed to have been able to have the opportunity to internship at the school, Anna M. Martorano. I have dreamt of becoming a teacher ever since the second grade. I'm not exactly sure how and why I got drawn into the idea of teaching. All I know is that I wanted to be just like my second grade teacher. Coming to Rome, I had doubts about still going into teaching. This internship, however, has helped me gain a better understanding of the job and has made me realize that this "teaching thing" is for me.
I meet with the teachers and students about twice a week. Unfortunately, that is all I can fit into my schedule. I have only been interning at this school for about a month, and have already gained so much. The teachers and staff that I work with are very sweet and understanding. There is a bit of a language barrier between us, but it makes my experience there all the better. I try to learn a little Italian and they try to learn a little English. For this internship, I teach English to five- and six-year-olds. I fell in love with the children the first day I met them. I have been able to observe the interaction of the teacher with the children both one-on-one and in a group setting. I also have been able to lead some lessons that consist of the students watching a cartoon episode in English and then re-enacting the cartoon verbally with hand motions. After the English lesson, I stay to observe the rest of the students' day, which involves playing intellectual games, snack time, singing songs, coloring and story-time.
This experience has far exceeded my expectations! In the end, I'm sure I will have learned more from the students than they will have learned from me. I dread saying goodbye to the staff and students when I have to leave. I know I'm going to miss them so much. I love walking to the school twice a week, knowing that I'm going to be greeted by children clinging to my legs and shouting "Hello!" in their best English. I highly recommend future Rome study abroad students to be involved in some sort of an internship. This internship has been a highlight of my study abroad experience!

By: Latoya Gates, Director of the Center for Diversity and Inclusion
The Center for Diversity & Inclusion, located in office 208 of the upper Cook Carriage House, is here to engage all Aquinas students. We offer a safe space to participate in empathic cross-cultural exploration, as well as develop a deeper understanding of individual cultural identity.
At Aquinas, we believe all students benefit from a multicultural learning environment. Encountering diverse perspectives and experiences prepares students to be successful in a global society. The Center for Diversity & Inclusion continually organizes events to connect a variety of cultural traditions, facilitates workshops on creating a more inclusive campus climate, hosts diversity speakers to increase cross-cultural awareness, and provides volunteer opportunities throughout
the year with the goal of combating social inequities. The Center's foundation lies in advocacy as we work to promote inclusiveness across campus. We are a supportive resource for concerns and inquiries regarding diversity and equity.
As the newly appointed Director, I am excited to meet students and assist them in achieving a more culturally enriched college experience. Whether Aquinas is the most diverse environment your student has ever experienced and they are excited to explore new cultures, or if it's the most homogeneous environment your student has ever been a part of and they are experiencing a bit of culture shock…encourage her/him to connect with us!
By Heather Hall, Director of Campus Life
Junior Saints' Weekend is an annual tradition where our AQ students welcome their sibs or those whom they love as family to join them on campus for a weekend of activities. The event is for kids of all ages and offers our AQ students a chance to highlight their college and share their life with their friends/family. We often have students who host a cousin, someone whom they babysit, a young neighbor, etc.
The Aquinas College Programming Board (AQPB) with the support of Campus Life and Residence Life has organized a weekend full of activities including novelty games and magic, interactive activities and film, music and more! A complete schedule of events will be available online the week of December 10, 2012.
Please note that we will also offer hotel discounts and information about "what's happening in Grand Rapids" that same weekend in the event that families would like to stay locally. We see this weekend as a family weekend for our students and a break for parents! Treat yourself to that weekend and enjoy what our great city has to offer!
If you have any questions regarding this event or any activity that is happening that weekend, please contact email@example.com. AQPB is finalizing all of the details on the schedule, but here is some preliminary information about the event and how we are organized.
>Frequently Asked Questions about Junior Saints Weekend (pdf)
We are extremely excited about some of our new initiatives this semester in Student Support Services (SSS). This year we have taken the Dominican charisms of service, study, and community to heart and are looking to help our students in this manner through several key programs.
The first endeavor we are really proud of is our current partnership with Kids Food Basket. They are a local, non-profit organization whose mission is to attack childhood hunger in greater Grand Rapids. They are responsible for serving sack suppers to over 4,800 kids EACH DAY. To assist them, SSS students are decorating bags that are used for the suppers, conducting a food drive to assist them in their goals of feeding area kids, and soon we will begin volunteering our time at the organization to help pack the bags. For us, allowing our students to give back to the next generation of students is a natural fit for us and we are proud to be giving our time and talents to such an organization.
Secondly, we have provided our students with multiple opportunities to learn about financial literacy. Our peer mentors delivered a workshop on effective budgeting strategies earlier this semester and they even were able to enlist the help of Nelson, our school's mascot. Students who attended learned real-life examples about ways to create a budget, and more importantly, continue to stay on one. We will also be having a speaker from Lake Michigan Credit Union coming to speak to our students on credit scores and how decisions they are making as students can affect them after graduation.
Finally, we are thrilled about introducing the StrengthsQuest learning initiative to our first-year students this fall. Most of our first-year participants have taken an interest inventory to learn their five key strengths that make them unique. We believe that allowing our students to work from their strengths is a more effective way to reach them and open them up to understanding their self-identity a little more. The next step is meeting with a member of our team three times over the course of this semester to help them better understand how to harness these strengths, recognize them in others, and how they can work more cohesively in group settings because they better recognize their strengths.
These are just a few of the ways we are helping assist our students become better assimilated to Aquinas College as students and as individuals. We are extremely pleased with how our goals for this year are progressing and look forward to continuing that trend in the Spring semester.
As a reminder, Student Support Services is a federally-funded program that supports 160 Aquinas students per year who are first-generation, low-income, and/or students with disabilities. There are many students at Aquinas College who are eligible for our program and a waiting list has been established for those seeking entry into the program. >Learn more about SSS

Through a secret selection process, Founder Institute finds people — many of whom keep working at their day jobs — and over four months, introduces them to the challenges of being an entrepreneur at ever-increasing levels of complexity.
As Ressi said, "The way we do that is, essentially, through a gradual simulation of what it's like to be an entrepreneur. So, we take someone who's not an entrepreneur and we start pushing them to build their company over a four-month period of time and we do things in sequence: work on your idea, research your idea, name your idea, start finding some co-founders, work out a business model."
While many do not make it through, the ones that do build companies. As Ressi explained, "60% of enrolled founders do not make it to the end. But the 40% that do go on and build great companies."
What Ressi is doing now is to bottle what makes the SVSC a success, refine it, and export it to the world.

Doctors Say Carl Pavano Almost Died From A Ruptured Spleen
Free agent pitcher Carl Pavano said he almost died when he had to have his spleen removed after snow shoveling accident in January.
"I'm just lucky to be alive," Pavano told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune during the week.
Initially, Pavano did not believe he was seriously injured when he fell at his home in Vermont. After visiting three hospitals, he had his spleen removed on Jan. 19.
Doctors told Pavano he was living on "borrowed time" after having 6 1/2 liters of blood drained from his chest cavity.
"I was hours away from going into cardiac arrest and probably wouldn't even be here," Pavano said.
The 37-year-old free agent is not sure when he will be able to resume his career. He spent the past three-plus seasons with the Minnesota Twins. He was 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in 11 starts in 2012. A strained right shoulder on June 1 shortened his season.
Injuries hampered his career with the New York Yankees after signing a $40 million contract with them in 2004. However, he enjoyed a 14-12 season in 2009, which he split between the Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins.
He followed that with a 17-11 mark in 2010 before going 9-13 in 2011.

Lil Wayne can sleep good knowing his legal woes are over, at least for now. TMZ reports the Young Money CEO has settled a $20 million lawsuit with producer Darius "Deezle" Harrison, who claims that he has not been paid for production work he did on Wayne's smash Tha Carter III album, including "Lollipop." Per Harrison, the album to date has grossed over $70 million, and he believes he's rightfully owed $20 million. Harrison and the rapper/CEO reached a confidential agreement and the case has since been dismissed.
This isn't the first time the rapper has found himself in a whirlwind of lawsuits. In July 2008, Wayne was sued by Abkco Music Inc. for copyright infringement and unfair competition over "Playing With Fire," which was a version of The Rolling Stones' "Play With Fire". The song was eventually removed from the album and all online music stores. Then in February of 2009, Hip Hop DX reported RMF Productions filed a lawsuit for $1.3 million accusing Weezy of cancelling three shows. And get this. While in prison, Wayne was sued by "A Milli" producer Bangladesh for over a half of million in unpaid royalties, according to The Guardian. What is going on in the world of Young Money, anyway? Does this come with the territory of being rich, or does someone need more accountants? Perhaps a name change to Unpaid Money would be a better fit. (We kid, we kid.)

Port Vale: We'll continue to work hard during cold snap, vows Adams
Posted: January 21, 2013|
MICKY Adams has warned his Port Vale players there'll be no time to relax.
The table-topping squad are in for plenty of hard work, despite the fact Saturday's game at home to Bradford City fell victim to the weather.
Adams said while other teams might have taken the opportunity of an extra day off, there's no way the Valiants will be allowed to take their foot off the pedal.
"There'll be no easing up from us," he said.
"We've got 19 big games coming up and we've put ourselves in a great position.
"The last thing we want to do is switch off either physically or mentally and perhaps give the onus to other teams.
"Saturday's game was called off and the likelihood is there will be others postponed in the next few weeks.
"We might have a mini pre-season and perhaps do more work than the rest of the teams around us do.
"I want to ensure we're fit and ready for the second half of the campaign and we'll treat postponements as a time to work even harder."
The Bradford game was called off early on Friday afternoon as heavy snow thwarted the club's efforts to get the game on.
Chairman Paul Wildes had brought in industrial blowers to help thaw the icy Vale Park pitch.
But more snow on Friday rendered the efforts of groundsman Steve Speed futile in the end.
Vale's next game is now the televised clash at AFC Wimbledon on Thursday and Adams insists his team will be ready.
"It's certainly no time to relax," he said.
"Our fitness in the first half of the season has been superb and I think it will be vital in the second half, too.
"If that means we have to put a shift in around a track or around a park somewhere then that's what we'll do.
"The lads who've known me for three years will know I'm not bluffing when I say that.
"We're in a great position now and it's up to the other teams to try to catch us. I'm sure the others will re-double their efforts against us because we're the leaders and we have to be ready for that."
Meanwhile, Adams says Vale's huge turnover of players this season will stand them in good stead for the promotion push.
The current squad is almost unrecognisable from the one that started the season, and the Vale boss hopes it now has what it takes to go all the way.
Just three players from the team which figured in the final game of last season – Doug Loft, Adam Yates and Tom Pope – started the game at Gillingham last week.
That's a statistic which makes Vale's success so far this season even more remarkable, and which also vindicates Adams's decisions.
"There's no doubt we've had a big turnover of players in a short period of time," he said.
"And it has been through my personal choice more than anything.
"The ones that have been through the cull from when I was first here have done very well to still be here.
"It must mean I hold them in high esteem. But we've also had a big turnover this season. Maybe that's because we've been close, but not close enough.
"We needed to add more personnel to the squad and we've brought in players from the higher echelons of the Football League, players who have experienced promotions before and won't be fazed by the position we're in at the moment.
"That's the revolving door of a League Two footballer's life – the turnover of players at this level is enormous."
Adams said his current crop were players who know just what is needed to stay at the top of the table.
"They'll motivate themselves, more than anything," he said, "but they'll understand we're in a good position and they won't want to blow it.
"We have a fantastic team spirit here and, though there are some tough games ahead, the majority of the squad have experienced this scenario before and they know what's required."

I haven't taken it much over 100 yet, but I've driven it quite a bit and it's a smooth and very comfortable ride. Nearly every time I drive across town, I get folks pulling up next to me taking pictures and giving me the big thumbs up haha. The nice thing about the Shelbys is Ford limits production of these cars, so there aren't a gazillion of them out on the road. I had to call several dealerships before I could find one that still had allocations left to make my order. I paid full MSRP, but it was money well spent =).

What's not to love about To Kill a Mockingbird? From the mystery of Boo Radley and the spectacle of Tom Robinson's trial to Scout's flying fists of fury and her chicken-wire and painted cloth ham costume, this novel is packed full of humor, compassion, indignation, suspense, memorable characters, and relatable coming-of-age experiences.
Yes, even a generation raised on YouTube and iPhones will have memories of jockeying for position with their peers or gossiping about the haunted house at the end of the road, whether those experiences took place on the playground or during an IM session. There are some dynamics of childhood that will always remain the same, regardless of how much the forums in which they take place may change.

Let's hear about this wedding straight from Erin and Steve's photographer Julie Napear Photography:
"Erin is one of the most fun brides I've ever worked with! Her wedding to Steve was also one of the few VERY small weddings I did this year — only about 16 people total. It was such an intimate affair, and the officiant got everyone who was there involved by passing around the rings. The ceremony was FULL of laughter, which made for a fun time and great pics. I took the two of them outside just before dark to get the shot of her spinning in front of the blue (soon to be storming) sky. Lastly, we ran out in the POURING rain to get one last shot before Erin & Steve headed off to their cottage."
These two are so sweet, and how fantastic to have such an intimate wedding! Cute invitations, a beautiful wedding gown, a unique way to seat the guests at the ceremony, yummy food, and so many smiles. A beautiful wedding!

Inkscape tutorial: InterpolierenRyan Lerch, ryanlerch at gmail dot com
Dieses Dokument zeigt, wie man Inkscapes Interpolieren-Erweiterung benutzt
Interpolate does a linear interpolation between two or more selected paths. It basically means that it "fills in the gaps" between the paths and transforms them according to the number of steps given.
To use the Interpolate extension, select the paths that you wish to transform, and choosefrom the menu.
Before invoking the extension, the objects that you are going to transform need to be paths. This is done by selecting the object and usingor Shift+Ctrl+C. If your objects are not paths, the extension will do nothing.
Interpolation between two identical paths
The simplest use of the Interpolate extension is to interpolate between two paths that are identical. When the extension is called, the result is that the space between the two paths is filled with duplicates of the original paths. The number of steps defines how many of these duplicates are placed.
Nehmen Sie zum Beispiel die zwei folgenden Pfade:
Now, select the two paths, and run the Interpolate extension with the settings shown in the following image.
As can be seen from the above result, the space between the two circle-shaped paths has been filled with 6 (the number of interpolation steps) other circle-shaped paths. Also note that the extension groups these shapes together.
Interpolation zwischen zwei verschiedenen Pfaden
When interpolation is done on two different paths, the program interpolates the shape of the path from one into the other. The result is that you get a morphing sequence between the paths, with the regularity still defined by the Interpolation Steps value.
Nehmen Sie zum Beispiel die zwei folgenden Pfade:
Now, select the two paths, and run the Interpolate extension. The result should be like this:
As can be seen from the above result, the space between the circle-shaped path and the triangle-shaped path has been filled with 6 paths that progress in shape from one path to the other.
When using the Interpolate extension on two different paths, the position of the starting node of each path is important. To find the starting node of a path, select the path, then choose the Node Tool so that the nodes appear and press TAB. The first node that is selected is the starting node of that path.
See the image below, which is identical to the previous example, apart from the node points being displayed. The node that is green on each path is the starting node.
The previous example (shown again below) was done with these nodes being the starting node.
Now, notice the changes in the interpolation result when the triangle path is mirrored so the starting node is in a different position:
One of the parameters of the Interpolate extension is the Interpolation Method. There are 2 interpolation methods implemented, and they differ in the way that they calculate the curves of the new shapes. The choices are either Interpolation Method 1 or 2.
In the examples above, we used Interpolation Method 2, and the result was:
Now compare this to Interpolation Method 1:
The differences in how these methods calculate the numbers is beyond the scope of this document, so simply try both, and use which ever one gives the result closest to what you intend.
The exponent parameter controls the spacing between steps of the interpolation. An exponent of 0 makes the spacing between the copies all even.
Here is the result of another basic example with an exponent of 0.
The same example with an exponent of 1:
with an exponent of 2:
and with an exponent of -1:
When dealing with exponents in the Interpolate extension, the order that you select the objects is important. In the examples above, the star-shaped path on the left was selected first, and the hexagon-shaped path on the right was selected second.
View the result when the path on the right was selected first. The exponent in this example was set to 1:
Endpfade duplizieren
This parameter defines whether the group of paths that is generated by the extension includes a copy of the original paths that interpolate was applied on.
This parameter is one of the neat functions of the interpolate extension. It tells the extension to attempt to change the style of the paths at each step. So if the start and end paths are different colors, the paths that are generated will incrementally change as well.
Hier ist ein Beispiel, wo der Interpolationsstil auf die Füllung eines Pfades angewendet wurde:
Der Interpolationsstil beeinflusst auch die Konturlinien eines Pfades:
Of course, the path of the start point and the end point does not have to be the same either:
Unregelmässig geformte Farbverläufe erzeugen
It is not possible in Inkscape (yet) to create a gradient other than linear (straight line) or radial (round). However, it can be faked using the Interpolate extension and Interpolate Style. A simple example follows — draw two lines of different strokes:
Und interpolieren Sie zwischen den zwei Linien, um den Farbverlauf zu erzeugen:
As demonstrated above, the Inkscape Interpolate extension is a powerful tool. This tutorial covers the basics of this extension, but experimentation is the key to exploring interpolation further.

Help! I needed to get out of recovery mode. I selected the restart button but now the phone attempts to turn on then I get a blue screen. I have a backup on iTunes
TunesGo can do nothing to solve the problem.
Hi, you just need to click the button "Restart the device" on the program. It works for most of iPhones.
I also tried "tunesgo" which gave me the error "object reference not set to an instance of an object"
It tells me in not in "normal mode" and to restart .. but after restarting it just says the same thing
I don't get what you mean. When you hold down Home button and the power button, for sure, you're putting your iPhone into recovery mode. And in that case, the screen will direct you to iTunes and do a restore. This article is about how to get iPhone out of recovery mode. One is getting out of recovery mode by restoring your iPhone. Another one is using the restart button on Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS to get it out.
It's also not working for me... I pressed the home and power button too... the screen directs me to itunes and do a restore
Make sure that your iPhone is in recovery mode, not DFU mode. If it's in recovery mode, you can get it out of the mode by clicking the Restart button. If it's in DFU mode, please try to press the Home button and the Power button on your iPhone at the same time to restart it.

Best team was the '95 St. Aug basketball team. They played in New York tourneys and beat the 'heralded' NY Bball teams by playing Coach Griff basketball........disciplined, defense, defense and disciplined. I did have the opportunity to see the Jesuit baseball team team in the 80's. I watched them play whenever they played at Larry Gilbert. They were good but the Aug team is head of this class.
The '95 team was a classic example of a group of solid players all understanding their role. That is why Coach Griff is a 'LEGACY' at St. Aug. Both he and his teams conducted themselves in a way only a real PURPLE KNIGHT would understand....with valor and honor!
The weird thing about it is if St. Aug pulls out the win over Carroll (Benoit Benjamin's team) in '82; then you have to discuss the 35-0 team in '83, which would have a huge say in the best team in N.O. Preps. That team lead by D Royal , Delaware (Dwayne Lewis) and my boy Mr. Biddy, E-Z Eric Coleman, would have had the National recognition heading into the undefeated year.

The Governor's Service Awards honor individuals, families and organizations that exemplify outstanding dedication to volunteerism and community service in West Virginia.
Our area once again will be well-represented with many recipients that will be recognized during a banquet in Charleston on Aug. 7 during Volunteer West Virginia's annual Faces of Leadership Conference.
Beckley's own Nancy Kissinger is one of only two recipients in the Adult category in the state. The local Chase Bank president is involved as a volunteer in a wide variety of charitable organizations and community services.
Carpenter's Corner, a Beckley-based food kitchen ministry, the Upper Big Branch Miners Memorial Group in Boone County, and Alderson Ministerial Association in Greenbrier County will receive awards in the Organization category.
Gloria Martin of Lewisburg, a volunteer with the Family Refuge Center, will be honored in the Senior category.
Pamela and James McPeak of Monroe County will be recognized in the Family division.
There have been countless others from our region that have won these awards down through the years, and all remain very important to our communities.
It's truly inspiring to be among such giving people and organizations as we are in southern West Virginia.
Giving is just in our make-up.
It's in our DNA.
It's who we are.
Our people are always very giving, ready to step up when needed.
To be recognized on the state-wide level, is quite an honor. So we, too, salute those who are being awarded for their actions in their communities.
While it's never the intent of a volunteer to receive acclaim, it is important for us to shine a spotlight on their work — to share the good things that are happening in our state.
These volunteers are a reflection of who we are as West Virginians.
And what a beautiful reflection it is.

PE: Dr Tony Tan elected Singapore's 7th President
SINGAPORE: Dr Tony Tan has been elected Singapore's seventh President, winning by a 0.34 per cent margin, or 7,269 votes.
He secured 744,397 or 35.19 per cent of total valid votes, while Dr Tan Cheng Bock received 737,128 or 34.85 per cent of the valid votes.
Returning Officer Yam Ah Mee announced the results following a recount early Sunday morning.
He had allowed the recount as the difference in votes between the two leading candidates was less than two per cent of the total valid votes cast.
Mr Tan Jee Say got 529,732 votes or 25.04 per cent.
Mr Tan Kin Lian obtained 103,931 or 4.91 per cent of the votes. This means he will lose his election deposit of S$48,000.
Some 2.15 million Singaporeans, or 94.65 per cent of registered electors, cast their votes at 781 polling stations throughout the island on Saturday.
Announcing the results, Returning Officer Yam Ah Mee said the local votes counted are conclusive and that the overseas votes will not affect the results of the election.
5,504 Singaporeans have registered as overseas voters. Their votes will be counted on Tuesday, August 30.
The new President will be sworn in on Thursday, September 1.
Dr Tony Tan told reporters outside the Elections Department that he is extremely happy to serve Singaporeans once again.
In his thank you speech, he pledged to work for all Singaporeans.
"Thanks for being so patient and for all your support," he said, adding his thanks to his wife, family, friends, campaign team and all voters.
He also thanked the other three candidates who have campaigned with vigour, giving Singaporeans a choice.
Dr Tan said: "(A) President is a President for all Singaporeans, not only for those who voted for me, but also those who didn't vote for me. I plan to work for each and everyone of you."
He said the real work begins straight away after a strenuous campaign and he will strive to be the best President for all Singaporeans.
"Please support me and join me and my team ... (and) all of us work to build a better tomorrow for Singapore - a tomorrow which all of us ... can greet with confidence for the future," he added.

Video:How to Make Roasted Prime Ribwith Aubrey Franchell
Roasted prime rib is a centerpiece entree that will feed plenty of hungry guests. Watch this how-to video from About.com to learn how to make a juicy and delicious roasted prime rib.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make Roasted Prime Rib
I'm Aubrey for About.com. Today, I'm going to show you how to make a prime rib roast, using a recipe from americanfood.about.com. Prime rib is ideally served medium rare, when the meat is juicy, tender and pink.
Ingredients for Prime Rib Roast
- 1 standing prime rib roast with 4 to 7 ribs
- ground black pepper
- kosher salt
- 1/2 tbsp of softened butter per rib
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 quart cold beef broth
Prepare the Rib for Roasting
To begin, you want to take the prime rib out of the refrigerator and set it a roasting pan. Spread the softened butter over each rib. Sprinkle with salt. Now add fresh ground pepper to taste. Leave the roast out in the open air at room temperature for about 2 hours before cooking. This will help the roast to cook evenly throughout.
Brown the Outside of the Prime Rib
Before you begin cooking, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the ribs in the oven and begin by cooking the roast for 20 minutes. You can cook with the roast tied or untied, I find leaving the string in place makes it easier to work with. This will lightly brown the outside of the meat.
Use a Meat Thermometer for Proper Temperature
Now, turn the temperature down to 325 degrees F. You will cook the prime rib for around 15 minutes per pound for a medium-rare roast. Be sure you have an accurate meat thermometer. If you want the meat to be medium-rare, you will cook the roast until the meat thermometer reads 120 degrees F. for a medium roast, cook until the temperature reaches 130 degrees F.
Set the prime rib on a serving platter or large plate. Place aluminum foil loosely over the roast and allow it to sit for about 30 minutes before carving the meat. If you cut the roast too soon, you will lose a lot of the juices, resulting in drier cut of meat.
Make the "Au Jus" Sauce
In the meantime, add (all but 2 tbsp. of the fat from the roasting pan to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat. Slowly sprinkle in the flour. Continue stirring for 5 minutes. Now go ahead and pour in the beef broth. Whisk it into the mixture. Be sure to scrape any caramelized bits from the sides of the pan. Now cook this mixture on high for 10 minutes. It will thicken a little but it is not gravy so it will have a slightly thinner texture. If you like, you can sprinkle in a little additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the Prime Rib Roast
Serve the juices with the prime rib. When you are ready to serve, remove the ties. Separate the ribs from the meat and cut into thin slices. Serve with the juices and enjoy.

So Malev has become the second established European carrier (its history dates back to 1946) in a week to suspend operations. While there have been some smaller airline casualties in Europe so far this year – Czech Connect and Germany's Cirrus Airlines both suspended flights while seeking new finance (another, Austrian carrier Air Alps, has now resumed flights after earlier suspending operations in January), it is the fall of Malev and Spanair over the last seven days which demonstrates how tough it is for airlines in Europe. Malev and Spanair are both established in alliances – Oneworld and Star Alliance respectively - and feature in the top 150 airlines by revenues.
- 21 aircraft
- Revenues $421m (2010)
- Passengers: 3.05m (2010)
- 29 aircraft
- Revenues $800m (2010 Airline Business estimate)
- Passengers: 6.96m (2010)
This is rapidly looking like it might become a winter of discontent for Europe's airlines. The region is forecast for losses this year as they battle the headwinds of high fuel prices and the eurozone woes. And enforcement of European Commission state aid rules is adding further pressure to those who might previously have taken comfort from the state for support. (For more on this pressure check out our ANALYSIS: Spanair collapse bad news for state-funded airlines article).
Alongside airline collapses, mergers are the other element to airline consolidation – and a number of deals in the works will further change the picture. How far has this journey gone? Well here is a little graphic which shows the number of passenger airlines (scheduled and charter) operating today from some of the major markets compared to 2001 - and while passenger numbers for European carriers among the top 200 airlines have jumped more than 75% over the last ten years, the number of carriers in each country has fallen (and this doesn't take account of deals in the works or shared airline ownership).
And for a more detailed look on how this process has worked, look at this analysis of the Italian market - which if planned mergers are completed, will mean it will have gone from around 20 airlines to essentially three in the last decade.

A recent Gallop poll shows Americans have a more positive view of income taxes than they have had in recent years (and the general view is more positive than you might have thought).
In response to the question, "Do you consider the amount of federal income tax you have to pay as too high, about right, or too low?", a majority (51%) thought it was either too low or about right (with 48% saying that it was about right):
Meanwhile, in response to the question, "Do you regard the income tax you will have to pay this year as fair?", a solid majority continued to say that it was fair:
I am not quite sure what to make of the fact that the percentage of people saying that their taxes are "fair" is ten to twelve points higher than the percentage of people saying that the amount they pay is "about right." Gallop claims that people are more likely to think that their taxes are "fair" during wartime. Go figure.

Our Experience
We reached the customer support team at DuPont rather quickly. We called and the automated system featured two options; the second being for the customer service department. When the agent answered the call, we wanted to know if the agent could address food safety and security as it relates to the company's product assortment. We opened the flood gates. The agent must have been passionate about this topic. They continued to speak on what the company is doing to better the industry.
The agent also provided information from the website on the Weekly Highlights which features news and information from around the company. We like when a customer support agent is thorough and provides additional details relating to our questions. Did you have a great customer service experience? We want to hear your story.

Chipotle Barbecue Pulled Turkey Drumstick Sliders with Brussels Spout Slaw
- 2 1/2 to 3 pounds turkey drumsticks
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped chipotle chiles in adobo, including some sauce (see Cooks' Notes)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1/2 cup water
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 16 slider rolls (or other small, soft buns), split
- Brussels Sprout Slaw
- Special equipment: A 3 1/2- to 5-quart wide Dutch oven or other wide heavy pot with tight-fitting lid
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Remove turkey skin.
Cook onion in oil with 1/2 teaspoon salt in Dutch oven over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until well softened, about 10 minutes.
Add garlic and spices and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Stir in ketchup, vinegar, chiles, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, and 1/2 cup water and simmer mixture, stirring, 1 minute.
Add drumsticks and cover pot, then braise in oven, turning drumsticks over once, until meat is very tender, about 2 hours.
Transfer drumsticks to a bowl and cool. Discard bones, tendons, and any remaining skin, and pull meat with forks or fingers into coarse shreds.
Stir meat into sauce remaining in pot. Thin, if necessary, with water to desired consistency and season with salt and pepper. Reheat over medium heat until hot.
Spoon mixture into slider rolls and top with slaw.
Cooks' Notes:
Although the chipotles in adobo add a seductive smoky warmth, feel free to leave them out if you are feeding kids. If that's the case, purée a small can for the adults, and let them add as much as they want to their sliders.
Pulled turkey can be made 3 days ahead. Cool, uncovered, before chilling covered. Reheat slowly in covered pot, adding more water as necessary.

The Grammys are almost upon us and it's time to start wagering on winners. We've been speculating over one of the most talked about — and important in terms of a young star's career — categories, and that's the Best New Artist. Obviously, whoever wins is going to steal the spotlight, and with the fickle nature of music consumption it's an all too important spotlight that's up for the taking. With a smorgasbord of acts up for the award, covering genres from country to rap to dub to indie-pop, it's tough to put the finger on a winner. We've weighed up the odds below, and given our opinion on the likelihood of each nominee taking home the illustrious award.
The Band Perry
There's no doubt that The Band Perry are the best new country act of the year, winning Best New Act at the Country Music Awards as well as Single and Song Of The Year with "If I Die Young." We think The Band Perry are hot favorites for the win after their winning year in 2011, and because they've bought some youthful fun to country music.
Bon Iver
Bon Iver has been a controversial nominee at best, first with front man Justin Vernon lambasting the Grammys and then refusing to perform on the night. It seems like with the popularity and critical acclaim that "Holocene" found in 2011, they may have been strong contenders, but unfortunately took themselves out of the race with their petulant behavior. They're not really a "new artist" anyway, so it might be nice to see someone fresh off the block win the award, even though we do love the music of Bon Iver.
J. Cole
J. Cole was at the forefront of the r'n'b renaissance that occurred in 2011, and aside from working with a host of big names like Kanye West, Beyoncé, and Rihanna, J. Cole earned accolades for his debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story. He's definitely the dark horse for the Grammy, and while his would be a surprise win, it would be well deserved.
Nicki Minaj
Probably the most talked about new artist of the past year, Nicki Minaj has a hefty number of collaborations under her belt, including one very high profile rap on Madonna's new song "Give Me All Your Luvin'". Minaj has managed to break out on her own as a very successful solo performer in a very short period of time, and we're thinking she's the obvious favorite for the win.
Skrillex — the dub DJ and producer that took America by storm. Despite the hype around Skrillex's grinding brand of bassy club music, this would perhaps be the most controversial win, given the unconventional genre — although, 2011 was the year of the dance-led anthems, so Skrillex may be in with a chance.
OUR PREDICTION: Nicki Minaj.

Video:Feeding Pet Rabbitswith Linda Thibault
Rabbits have very sensitive digestive systems, so it is imperative to feed pet rabbits a balanced diet consisting on hay, vegetables and pellets. Here's a brief guide on what to feed your pet rabbit.See Transcript
Transcript:Feeding Pet Rabbits
Hi! I'm Linda Thibault with About.com, and today, I'm going to talk about feeding pet rabbits. We are at Hop Along Hollow Rabbit Rescue in Norwalk, Connecticut.
It Is Important to Feed Rabbits Hay
It is extremely important to have a well balanced diet for your pet rabbit. The digestive system of a rabbit is very susceptible to serious upsets if the diet if the diet is inappropriate. A healthy diet for your pet rabbit consists of hay, vegetables and pellets. Since fiber is essential to a rabbit's diet, hay and vegetables should be the main components, with smaller portions of pellets. Fiber is the most vital part of a pet rabbit's diet. Rabbits that have been fed only pellets before becoming your pet may not want to eat a lot of hay right away. Adding fresh hay a few times every day, while reducing pellets, will help your pet rabbit adjust to eating more hay.
Rabbits Should Also Be Fed Vegetables
Vegetables should make up a large portion of the diet. You will have to feed your pet rabbit one vegetable at a time when introducing new veggies to their diet. This will help you identify which vegetables agree with your rabbit's stomach and which ones don't. You should feed your rabbit 2 to 4 cups of veggies, depending on the size of your rabbit. Good vegetables to add to your rabbit's diet include dandelion, parsley, romaine lettuce, endive and collard greens. Avoid cauliflower, cabbage, potatoes and beans. Vegetables should be introduced to bunnies around 12 weeks of age, in small quantities and one at a time.
Do Not Let Rabbits Solely Eat Pellets
The addition of some pellets does add balance to the house rabbit's diet. However, a diet that consists mainly of pellets can lead to obesity and digestive problems, as pellets are designed for commercial use. They're very high in calories. Remember: for adult bunnies, use Timothy-based pellets; for youngsters under the age of 9 months, use an alfalfa based pellet. Be sure you are using a plain green pellet, and avoid the bags with fancy ingredients such as corn, seeds, nuts and carrots. These extra additions are eye appealing for you and tasty for the bunny, but not healthy for his digestive system.
Occasionally Feed Rabbits Treats
Anything other than hay, vegetables and pellets is considered treats. Treats should be limited, as they don't add much to a pet rabbit's diet. A tablespoon or two of fresh fruit is a great treat, as are twigs from apple trees. You must always be positive that your bunny is eating. Should your bunny go twelve hours without eating, it is imperative you get him to a rabbit-experienced vet immediately. Do not wait. If you follow these guidelines, you will have a healthy and happy pet rabbit.

World Heritage status for its three sites was the highlight of the 2010-2011 financial year for the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority (PAHSMA).
The Environment, Parks and Heritage Minister, Brian Wightman, said the inscription of the Australian Convict Sites on to the World Heritage List marked the beginning of a new and challenging era for the Authority in managing heritage, conservation and cultural tourism.
"PAHSMA assumed responsibility for the Coal Mines Historic Site (also an Australian Convict Sites World Heritage property) in 2007. Following the World Heritage inscription, PAHSMA was asked to take responsibility for a third Australian Convict Sites property, the Cascades Female Factory Historic Site at South Hobart," Mr Wightman said.
"However the year has also been a challenging one for PAHSMA.
"The consequences of the global financial crisis and economic uncertainty, the strength of the dollar luring Australians overseas, the Queensland and NSW floods, the volcanic ash event and significant competition within the travel industry have all affected local visitors numbers."
Mr Wightman said despite the circumstances, 239,095 day-time visitors (3.3 per cent below the previous year) to the Site was a reasonable outcome.
A similar decrease occurred in Ghost Tour numbers with 38,483 visitors taking the tour being 3.5 per cent down on the previous year.
"Despite the downturn, PAHSMA's tourism operations carefully monitored expenses and maintained or increased yield per visitor," he said.
"This is important as any surplus from tourism is reinvested into the Authority's conservation program."
Mr Wightman highlighted the continued support of the Tasmanian Government for PAHSMA's conservation program.
"This is an excellent investment of public funds given the substantial economic and other outcomes for the local community and the State in general," he said.
"The Port Arthur Historic Site's Community Advisory Committee continues to grow in strength and plays a most worthwhile and effective role as a conduit between the Authority and the Tasman Peninsula community.
"It supports community groups and initiatives as well as hosting cultural events such as the outstanding performances by Strange Fruit as part of Ten Days on the Island earlier this year."
The Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority's Annual Report for 2010-11 can be downloaded from www.portarthur.org.au/annualreports.
Strange Fruit's performance at Port Arthur as part of Ten Days on the Island was a highlight of the year.
Achieving World Heritage status for its three sites was the major highlight for PAHSMA.

Sorry, I only drove the A/T models. As for the looks, the 2013 with its new grill, fog light housings and the optional wheel arch moldings and rub strips on the doors, looks beefed up and in keeping with its rugged outdoors personality . The more I drive this machine, the more impressed I am with it. And this is coming from a BMW fanatic! I'm a retired airline pilot and I spent an inordinate amount of time researching other small SUVs. Subaru always came to the top of my list. You may consider the Toyota Venza, the Honda CRV or the Toyota Rav 4. I felt the Volvo, BMW and Audi offerings were overpriced and not necessarily better cars. Check TireRack.com for alternate tire suggestions. The Continentals are way below par in my opinion.
Thanks for your response to some of q's in the other thread.
This is encouraging & am now glad I didn't buy a '10-'12 version used.
The Outback is on my shortlist for sure.
Of the Outback's your rented did you ever drive a manual transmission model?
If so, what were your thoughts?
At first I was turned off by the large driving light's and plastic on the '13. . But now, when I see the '10-'12 they look old already.
I should preface my report with the caveat that I have been renting Outbacks and Legacys during my travels to the Seattle area for at least six years. I do some off road traveling to reach mountain hiking trails. The handling of the Outbacks prior to the new body revision (prior to 2010) was wonderful. The first editions of the revised Outback and Legacy left much to be desired when compared to the previous models. That said, the new suspension of the 2013 outback has been stiffened with much less roll and the car now exhibits the same point and shoot characteristics of the 2009 model. and the new body is much roomier and more practical than the 2009 version. When I test drove the 2013 I was happy I had waited for the change which IMO is all for the better.
Being retired has caused me to consider other manufacturers than BMW of which brand I have had at least one in my stable since 1969. Suffice it to say that I will be doing with a few less amenities but I can certainly live without them. For the money, the Outback is a logical and rewarding choice for me. The only thing I wish is that Subaru would ditch the Continental tires that come as OEM. Consider reshodding with Michelin Defenders for a quieter and more responsive ride.
Jetpilot767 - What "real-world" mileage are you getting with the 3.6?
Just wondering how significant the difference is between the 2 engines/transmissions.
Thanks Jetpilot767.
I have to unload a few cars before I get ready to deal.
I have had honda's in the past & the new CRV gets great reviews.
But I'm ready to try something different.
Sounds like Subaru's awd is hard to beat.
On tires, ya, Michelin's are hard to beat.
I was just in a Sam's Club & see they carry the Defender.
I had their Michelin X radials on my intrepid & was an excellent tire.

Long Beach City College is the first in California to offer a tiered pricing plan, approved by the state Legislature last fall.
Under the law, six community colleges were allowed to implement a two-tiered pricing system for high-demand classes during summer and winter terms until 2018. The two-year colleges typically charge $46 per unit, among the lowest in the country.
Educators and experts say colleges nationwide may be watching the Long Beach experiment, one of the only such programs in the country, as a way to get around budget cuts and high demand for required courses.

Juggalos enter pleas in Modesto assault case:
4 alleged gang members convicted of beating man:
You remember these three literal assclowns don't you. They're Larry Williams, 20, Brandon Ferrell, 19, and Kurt Petersen, 23. Along with the unpictured Joshua Huggins, 18, they were all arrested for beating a Modesto, California man so bad that they broke his leg and left him with permanent injuries.
They all pleaded no contest to the charges against them except for Huggins who pleaded guilty. They were all sentenced to a year in jail except for Williams who got seven years because he already had two strikes against him.
The part that sucks is that Ferrell and Huggins have already been released since they already spent a year in jail awaiting trial. Petersen still has to serve his time though. I wonder if he'll still think he's a badass after serving his time.
Remember kids even ICP themselves that the criminal element among their fans are grown retards. I would argue that they aren't grown. For example check out the behavior of some of 'the family' in the courthouse.
Monday morning, the courtroom gallery was filled with young people, some in Insane Clown Posse clothing. A few hissed and scoffed as victim William August, 54, called Juggalos "dangerous, malevolent gang bangers" and detailed the pain he's been through since the March 7, 2009 attack.
First off if you're a Juggalo why would you even bother going to the courthouse. You should be distancing yourselves from these guys who are giving Juggalos an even worse name. Plus you may get picked up on your own outstanding warrants.
And again if you don't want people to think that you're a gang stop acting like one. If you all wear the same clothes and commit crimes together that makes you a gang.

May 9, 2009
PALO ALTO, Calif. --- The University of New Mexico baseball team lost to Stanford, 17-5, on Saturday afternoon at Sunken Diamond in Palo Alto. Catcher Rafael Neda and centerfielder Max Willett were 2-for-3 at the plate for the Lobos with Neda adding one run and two RBI and Willett crossing home plate twice. New Mexico is now 33-17 overall, while Stanford improves to 24-21 on the season. The teams will decide the winner of the weekend series on Sunday, May 10 at 2 p.m. (MDT).
Freshman starter Rudy Jaramillo (3-1) was roughed up for nine Stanford runs over the first three-plus innings. The Cardinal scored two in the first and five in the third for a 7-0 lead, before UNM found their offense.
New Mexico was able to cut the Stanford lead to three in the top of the fourth. Neda hit a two-out, two-run home run to left field that plated Willett and was followed two batters later by right fielder Brian Cavazos-Galvez with another two-run shot over the left field wall to score third baseman Kevin Atkinson, 7-4.
Jaramillo went out to start the fourth inning, but was relieved after the second batter when Stanford's Toby Gerhart put a two-run home run out of the park, 9-4. Junior Jason Oatman took over on the mound for the Lobos, but could not get the Cardinal bats to stop, allowing five more runs, 14-4, before giving way to junior Edwin Carl. Carl was able to get Gerhart to ground out to shortstop Daniel Gonzalez to stop the fourth inning.
Carl was able to put up two scoreless innings in the fifth and sixth, but gave up two runs in the seventh to give Stanford a 16-4 lead.
Stanford starter Brett Mooneyham (5-2) threw 7.1 innings to win the battle of the freshmen lefties, settling down after the four-run fourth and holding off the Lobos until the eighth. Willett led off the eighth with a single to left field and pinch hitter Ben Woodchick flied out to right before Mooneyham left the game. Willett went on to score on a ground out by reserve right fielder Chris Juarez when reliever Danny Sandbrink loaded the bases, 16-5.
Stanford added one more run in the eighth off of senior Bobby Moore, making just his second relief appearance of the season for the final, 17-5.
Along with Neda and Willett, Atkinson also had two of the Lobos eight hits in the game.
