Prep girls' soccer: Bizzy leads loaded Alta squad
Sandy • The Alta girls' soccer team is the favorite to win the Class 5A state championship this season, and a big reason is midfielder Bizzy Phillips.
Phillips was named The Tribune's Class 5A MVP as well as Gatorade's Utah player of the year as a junior. She helped lead her team to the state title game, where the Hawks lost to Viewmont in double overtime.
Phillips scored 22 goals and tallied 18 assists last season and already committed to BYU.
"Bizzy is our energizer bunny, our heart and soul," Alta coach Lee Mitchell said. "She makes those players around her better."
But no discussion about Phillips and challenging for state titles would be complete without a discussion of those players around the 5-foot-4 midfielder.
The Hawks return 13 seniors this season, which is two more than the 11 players who can start. Shaylyn Orr, a defender, also committed to BYU. Midfielder Carly Dehlin is drawing interest from Dixie State and BYU-Hawaii. The Hawks are loaded without Phillips in the equation.
"We're almost the same team as last year, which is nice because we know how each other play," Phillips said.
It's also nice because the Hawks dominated most of last season. They beat five different opponents 8-0. During Phillips' sophomore season, when she scored 11 goals and Alta won the 5A state championship, the Hawks shut out seven different teams 8-0.
"It's always nice to have experience," Mitchell said. "If they've been successful, and these kids have at both the high school and club level, that helps. ⦠They have the potential to be one of the best teams at Alta."
But despite the big blowouts and gaudy goal-scoring numbers, there's only one game that stands out in the girls' minds the last-minute, championship game loss to Viewmont. And Mitchell is making sure they don't forget.
"When we're not working enough," Orr said, "he motivates us and says 'Remember what happened last year guy. You need to work hard because in those last few minutes, that's when we can lose it.' We don't know what can happen, so we really are working harder, making sure we're in shape."
Phillips said it's the memory that is driving this team.
"In the last five minutes of running, he's always like 'Do you want to get down to those five minutes again and lose?' We're like, 'No. Keep going guys, we got this.' So it's good really good motivation for us."
But what motivates Phillips and her teammates just as much is the brick wall in the office next to the soccer field, where players from past championship teams have signed their names.
"It makes you want to be them," Orr said. "Be that team and have those victories. We want our name on that wall."
"It's an honor," Dehlin said. "It's an honor to go after all these victories."
"It's a lot more than a soccer team," Dehlin added, then paused.
Phillips and Orr helped her finish her thought, the three saying in unison "It's like a family."
But there will be one member of that family who the rest look to more often than not this season.
"There's pressure," Phillips said. "There's a lot to live up to. There's a lot of tradition, and we have to work really hard because everybody's counting on us, and we're counting on ourselves. It's definitely pressure, but not overwhelming. It's good pressure."
Prep girls' soccer teams to watch
Teams to keep an eye on entering the girls' soccer season:
Viewmont (5A) • The defending Class 5A state champions lose a boatload of talent, especially in the scoring department. But returner Abbie Flandro, who had 12 goals a year ago, will spearhead the Viking attack, while Haley Johnson should take over for the graduated Ashley Earnshaw between the pipes.
Alta (5A) • Headlined by Bizzy Phillips, Madie Lyons and Sydney Fitzpatrick, the Hawks have a shot at reaching the 5A state title match once again.
Bonneville (4A) • How can the Lakers, last year's 4A champs, replace the likes of Megan Fillpot, Sienna Thornock and Emilee Tafunai? The task will tough, but Bonneville will have to lean on its youngsters in hopes of defending the state crown.
Bountiful (4A) • The Braves fell to Bonneville 1-0 in the 4A title match a year ago, but they have the talent to make a deep run in the playoffs with the likes of Charity Cole and Christina Plank returning.
Timpanogos (4A) • The Timberwolves have young returning talent, including defender Rachelle Warner, forward Jordyn Chung-Hoon and goalkeeper Sydney Oldroyd.
Park City (3A) • The Miners have suffered heart-wrenching losses in two of the last three 3A finals. But Park City is stocked with returning goal-scorers, including seniors Jessica Dancy and Maggie Reigelsperger. The Miners also have key returners such as Kenzie Bothner, Taylor Hodgsen and Alysan Casey.
Ogden (3A) • Ogden has developed into a powerhouse in 3A. The Tigers, champs in 2011, lost one game a year ago and return star Kiley Porter, who is now a seasoned veteran as a senior.
Waterford (2A) • Waterford has a strong chance of repeating as state champions from a year ago, mainly due to its strong junior class featuring the likes of Grace Sponaugle, Caroline Coats and Emmeline Anderson. Throw in senior keeper Lauren Groathouse, and the Ravens looked stacked for 2013. Players to watch
Players to keep an eye on entering the girls' soccer season:
Sarah Beecher, sr., Davis, GK • Beecher had seven shutouts a year ago on a 15-2-1 Darts squad. She'll be the backbone of the Davis defense in this her senior season.
McKinley Brinkerhoff, sr., Spanish Fork, Forward • Brinkerhoff scored 42 yes, 42 goals as a junior with the Dons. That's good enough for averaging more than two goals per outing. She'll no doubt lead the Spanish Fork attack again this year.
Mariah Elmer, sr., Fremont, Forward • Elmer scored 26 goals in 16 matches for a Fremont team that finished second in Region 1 at 11-6-1. She's considered one of the top offensive talents in 5A.
Kyra Fawcett, jr., Woods Cross, Forward • Fawcett was one of the more dynamic forwards in 4A as a sophomore, scoring 16 goals for the Wildcats. Woods Cross will aim to keep her atop the scoring lists this season.
Grace Walton, sr., Snow Canyon, GK • Walton was tied for the most shutouts pitched by a keeper in 2012 with 12, including posting a shutout in the 3A state title win over Park City last fall. The Warriors lose talent, but Walton is the rock.
Kiley Porter, sr., Ogden, Forward • While Porter loses her scoring mate in Avery Calton, it shouldn't stop her from shouldering the load for the Tigers this fall. Porter scored 25 goals last season and could top that if asked to take on a more attacking role in the Ogden offense.
Kate Weil, jr., St. Joseph, Forward • Weil had a team-high 13 goals a year ago and led the Jayhawks to the 2A state title match. She'll once again lead the charge in dethroning Waterford.
Chelsey Keefer, sr., Summit Academy, Forward • Keefer had 17 goals a year ago and will join sophomore forward Hannah Stewart and senior defender Morgan Fox to help the Bears make some noise in 2A.

Re: Tom Paris - awesome or vastly underused?
I'm afraid Tom was extremely annoying to me and I should imagine to any crew under a similar situation with such a personality. People like that usually dont last it and either jump out or get focibly removed or worse - oh walk the plank pleeeeeaaaase Tom. He was the only thing that really got my goat about Voyager other then Harry's romantic endeavours that is.

Qualcomm intros Snapdragon 3G chipset
updated 09:35 am EST, Wed November 14, 2007
Qualcomm Snapdragon
Qualcomm today introduced a new chipset platform for cellphones that it hopes will make integrating 3G Internet access as well as HD video and other features that normally require expensive or battery-draining secondary hardware. Nicknamed Snapdragon, the basic design includes a 1GHz processor and a 600MHz DSP chip that can handle both the connection and media playback at the same time. On GSM cellular networks, the QSD8250's main processor handles HSPA connections as quick as 7.2Mbps downstream and nearly 5.8Mbps upstream; its CDMA counterpart, the QSD8650, supports EVDO up to the upcoming 4.9Mbps Revision B standard.
In turn, the DSP component allows Snapdragon to play back content previously considered impractical on handhelds, Qualcomm says. In addition to linking into Bluetooth and Wi-Fi receivers, the common platform can play back and encode DVD-resolution (720x480) video, process images from a 12-megapixel still camera, and stream digital over-the-air TV from mobile formats such as the American MediaFLO standard or Europe's DVB-H. These are said to be possible on slim devices, avoiding the need for both a large circuit board or a bulky battery.
These chipsets should be shipping to cellphone producers worldwide as of today, according to Qualcomm. However, the company has not named its clients and does not say when it expects the first completed devices to reach the market.

The Doctor of Philosophy
The Doctor of Philosophy is a research degree designed to prepare students to discover, integrate, and apply knowledge as well as to communicate and disseminate it. The degree emphasizes development of the capacity to make significant original contributions to knowledge within the context of free inquiry and expression. The student pursuing this degree is expected to develop the ability to understand and to evaluate the literature of his or her field and to apply appropriate principles and procedures to the recognition, evaluation, interpretation, and understanding of issues at the frontiers of knowledge. In contrast to the PhD, other doctorates such as the Doctor of Education, the Doctor of Audiology, and the Doctor of Musical Arts are designed for professional training or focus on applied rather than basic research.
Course Requirements
No specific number of semester hours has been set for attainment of the Doctor of Philosophy degree, although advanced coursework is an integral part of a doctoral candidate's preparation. All the completed coursework that is included in a degree program at the time of admission to candidacy for a doctoral degree must have been taken within the preceding six years (exclusive of a maximum of three years of military service). All doctoral work is subject to review by the graduate dean.
In addition to courses and research in a field of specialization, additional work is taken to broaden or supplement the field. This supporting work may consist of coursework in one area or several; it may be in conference, laboratory, or problems courses; or it may be a supervised activity off campus relevant to the major interest. Normally, some or all of the supporting work is outside the major area, unless that area covers more than one department; at least three courses or the equivalent from outside the major area are generally proposed.
Foreign Language Requirement
The Graduate School has no foreign language requirement. However, many graduate programs require the study of one or more languages. These requirements are given in chapter 4 or are available from the graduate adviser.
Graduate Studies Committee Requirements
The Graduate Studies Committee specifies the coursework the student must complete, the qualifying examinations (written or oral or both) he or she must pass, the conditions under which he or she may retake all or part of an examination, and the procedures he or she must follow in developing a dissertation proposal.
In consultation with the graduate adviser, the student proposes a Dissertation Committee to advise or direct the student on the research and writing of the dissertation. The student selects the chair of the Dissertation Committee, with the consent of that person.
Admission to Candidacy
Each student seeking the PhD must be admitted to candidacy on the recommendation of the Graduate Studies Committee in the major area. Students may not register for the dissertation course until they are admitted to candidacy, and completion of coursework does not in itself constitute admission. Formal admission to doctoral candidacy consists of the submission and approval of the following:
- Program of Work. The Program of Work comprises a list of courses taken and proposed, the prospective dissertation title, and similar information. The Graduate Studies Committee must approve the Program of Work. The Dissertation Committee may, in a review of the Program of Work, recommend additional course requirements to the Graduate Studies Committee.
- Dissertation Committee. The membership of the Dissertation Committee, proposed by the student with the consultation and approval of the graduate adviser, is submitted to the Graduate School for approval by the graduate dean. The committee consists of at least five members, at least one of whom must be from outside the major program.
- Dissertation Proposal. A brief statement of the proposed dissertation must be submitted.
The Dissertation Committee
The Dissertation Committee advises the student on the research and writing of the dissertation, conducts the final oral examination, and approves the dissertation.
The chair of the Dissertation Committee ordinarily serves as the supervisor of research. Other members of the committee should be consulted as appropriate. Occasionally, a research scientist, research engineer, or faculty member who is not a member of the Graduate Studies Committee may be recommended by the Graduate Studies Committee to serve as the research supervisor for a specific dissertation. When the research supervisor is not a member of the Graduate Studies Committee, a member of the Graduate Studies Committee will be appointed as cochair of the Dissertation Committee.
The Dissertation
The student must register for dissertation courses for a period of more than one semester or summer session. The dissertation research course (-99R) must precede the dissertation writing course (99W) and may not be repeated. A dissertation is required of every candidate. It must be an original contribution to scholarship, the result of independent investigation in the major area, and must be approved by the Dissertation Committee.
The dissertation is normally written in English. Requests for permission to write in another language pertinent to the research are granted when there are circumstances warranting an exception. An insufficient command of English is not justification for an exception. The formal petition from the graduate adviser should include assurance that faculty members competent both in the language and in the field are available and willing to serve on the Dissertation Committee. The request must be approved by the graduate dean when the student is admitted to candidacy. The abstract and a substantial summary and conclusions section in English must be submitted with the dissertation.
Review of Progress
The Graduate Studies Committee reviews the progress of students who have not completed the doctoral degree by the end of three years from admission to candidacy; the committee reviews each student's progress annually thereafter. The committee may recommend that the student take additional courses or examinations or that the candidacy be terminated. Since annual reviews must be made after the first review, the committee will recommend extensions of only one or two semesters. Recommendations are forwarded to the graduate dean for approval.
Final Oral Examination (Defense of Dissertation)
A satisfactory final oral examination is required for the approval of a dissertation. The exam is open to all members of the University community and the public, unless attendance is restricted by the Graduate Studies Committee. The Office of Graduate Studies publishes the time and place of this examination for students who have given consent.
Not less than four weeks before the date on which the student intends to defend the dissertation, a copy of the final draft of the dissertation, reviewed for technical and grammatical correctness by the supervisor, should be submitted to each member of the dissertation committee. Two weeks before the defense, a written request to hold the final oral examination must be submitted to the Graduate School. This request signifies the receipt of the doctoral dissertation for the purpose of giving the examination. The committee's decision to examine a dissertation must be unanimous.
The examination covers the dissertation and the general field of the dissertation and such other parts of the student's program as the committee determines. If the members of the committee are satisfied that (1) the dissertation is an independent investigation in the major field and itself constitutes a contribution to knowledge, (2) the student has passed the final oral examination, and (3) the student has submitted for publication in Dissertation Abstracts International an abstract approved by the committee, they indicate approval on the Report of Dissertation Defense. The Report of Dissertation Defense and individual reports on the dissertation are filed within two weeks following the defense.
The decision of the committee must be unanimous. In the event that a committee cannot agree on a single decision, the matter is referred to the graduate dean for review. The dean's recommendation concerning the dissertation must be approved by a majority of the dissertation committee. The results of the review are communicated to the student, the graduate adviser, the chair of the Graduate Studies Committee, the committee members, and the department chair, if applicable.
Submission and Publication of the Dissertation
After defending the dissertation, the student must submit it in an approved electronic format to the Office of Graduate Studies. The dissertation is retained by the University Libraries. Information about format requirements is available from the Office of Graduate Studies.
Dissertations must be made available to the public. A list of ways of doing this is available from the Office of Graduate Studies. The student may request that the graduate dean delay making the dissertation available to the public for one year in order to protect patent or other rights. This request must be supported by a written recommendation from the dissertation supervisor.
The student may arrange for registration of copyright, at his or her own expense, by completing a form available in the Office of Graduate Studies or through an arrangement with a publisher of the student's choice.
Approval of the Degree
Upon approval by the Dissertation Committee of the dissertation and its defense, the Graduate Studies Committee certifies that the student has completed all degree requirements, has passed all required examinations, and is entitled to the award of the doctoral degree.
The Doctor of Education
The Doctor of Education (EdD) is a professional degree that emphasizes preparation for the highest levels of educational practice. It provides academic training and educational service experiences for individuals who will have leading roles in educational practice and who will help define the scope and functions of education in society. Programs are oriented toward the application of theory and research to issues of education and human development and to the development of skilled practitioners to fill a variety of roles in institutions that educate children, youth, and adults.
Students in educational administration complete a treatise; those pursuing the EdD in other fields complete a dissertation. Most policies affecting the EdD are similar to those described above for the PhD. Additional policies on admission to the program and to candidacy are given below.
In addition to the requirements for admission to the Graduate School, each department may require evidence of successful performance in an educational setting and evidence of interpersonal problem- solving skills and other skills useful for predicting success in professional educational roles. The applicant must hold a master's degree from a regionally accredited United States institution or the equivalent.
Admission to Candidacy
In addition to the requirements listed above for the PhD degree, the curriculum must have a clear and predominantly applied focus. The student's program normally entails an internship in an operational setting that is distinct from previous or concurrent work experience.
In addition to the requirements listed above for the PhD degree in regard to the Dissertation Committee, at least one member of the committee must be from outside the major program or from the field of practice represented by the dissertation.
The Doctor of Audiology
The Doctor of Audiology provides academic and clinical training for those who plan to enter the profession of audiology. The degree program involves preparation for the diagnosis and nonmedical treatment of hearing and balance disorders; it is designed to prepare audiologists to meet the standards for Texas state licensure in audiology.
The program requires a minimum of eighty-two semester hours of coursework and is designed to be completed in four years. All preprofessional students in audiology complete the same set of core courses and basic clinical practicum. Students may choose from a set of electives based on their specific interests. Research experiences are part of the curriculum, but a dissertation is not required.
The Graduate Studies Committee in communication sciences and disorders oversees the AuD degree program. More information about the program is available from the graduate adviser in communication sciences and disorders.
The Doctor of Musical Arts
The Doctor of Musical Arts degree allows for three majors: performance (including conducting, opera, and voice pedagogy emphases), composition, and music and human learning (including conducting and piano pedagogy emphases). Candidates for this degree must pass a comprehensive examination. They must demonstrate outstanding professional competence, artistic maturity, and exceptional knowledge of the historical and practical aspects of their major field. Each candidate must prepare a scholarly treatise in a field appropriate to the major or complete the alternative requirements of the nontreatise degree option. For composition majors, a musical work replaces the treatise. A jazz emphasis is available in each of the three majors.
Further information about requirements in various areas of concentration is available from the graduate adviser.
The University holds commencement exercises at the end of the spring semester. Those who graduate in the preceding summer session or fall semester are eligible to attend along with those who graduate in the spring semester. In addition, the Graduate School holds a Convocation at the end of the fall semester and at the end of the spring semester at which master's and doctoral degree candidates are recognized.
Graduation under a Particular Catalog
Degree requirements may be changed from one catalog to the next. The student is normally bound by the requirements of the catalog in force at the time of his or her first registration; the student may choose, however, to fulfill the requirements of a subsequent catalog. If the student does not fulfill the requirements within six years of his or her first enrollment in the Graduate School, he or she is then bound by the requirements of a subsequent catalog. The student may choose the catalog in effect in any year in which he or she is enrolled in the Graduate School, within the six-year limit.
Procedures of Graduation
Candidates for Master of Business Administration and Master in Professional Accounting degrees should consult advisers in their programs for graduation procedures. All other degree candidates must follow the procedures below. More detailed guidelines, deadlines, and forms are published by the Office of Graduate Studies.

View 202's revamped menu gets high marks
Had lunch the other day at the "new" View 202. Executive chef Sean Gafner came aboard Jan. 1 and he's brought needed and welcome changes. There's a new menu, new (more affordable) prices and a new (more friendly) vibe.
View 202
Street address: 202 Hemsted Drive, Redding
Phone: 226-8439
On The Web view202redding.com
Hours: Monday - Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to midnight, Sunday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Executive chef:Sean Gafner
Owner: Joe Wong
Established: March 2012
Sample menu items:
Pismo Beach chowder (bowl) $6
Poached bosc pear salad $11
California burger $14
Ceviche special $14
Pan-roasted jumbo shrimp $15
Chicken saltimbocca $15
It was a warm spring-like day and the patio was packed. There's no better place to dine outside in Redding.
Started with the addictive ceviche special -- scallops, opakapaka, avocado with a green apple slaw. Amazing. Next, I tried the pan-roasted jumbo shrimp, which came with sauteed spinach greens and a polenta cake over pesto. Very nice.
My fiancee ordered the California burger. She can never pass up the hormone-free, grass-fed Prather Ranch beef.
Our server knowledgeably talked up the new vegetarian menu and gluten-free options. Prices were lower than last time I visited. Some dinner entrees are in the teens now, Gafner pointed out.
"California cuisine" in a "casual upscale" environment is how Gafner describes his vision for View 202. "We're trying to have more fun with the food," he said, noting the new grilled pizza on the extensively revamped menu.
"We've kind of lightened it up a little bit" he said of the atmosphere, hoping to change the restaurant's "special occasion" reputation.
It all seemed to be working the day we lunched there. On the patio, with its views of Bally, Mount Shasta and the emerald green Sacramento River, there was a mix of families with kids, business diners and a party of women celebrating a birthday with some wine.
Gafner is a friendly and energetic fellow, who grew up on a farm in the San Joaquin Valley and at 18, just out of high school, entered the restaurant business in L.A. "I couldn't believe it (work) was so much fun." Later he studied at the Golden State Culinary Institute in Sacramento. His resume includes PF Chang's China Bistro and Celestine's Caribbean Restaurant, a Sacramento landmark. During seven years in Redding, his wife's hometown, he's been executive chef at Tierra Oaks, taught at Shasta College's culinary program and run a catering business (late last year he landed the contract for the civic auditorium).
He reports he's gotten "good feedback" on the changes at View 202. Easy to see why. Wish him success.

There is a creepy old guy that lives in my building, I have blogged about him before. He is always wondering around the parking lot aimlessly and going into other apartment buildings that he doesn't live in for reasons unknown. Today when I got home from work he was standing inside the entrance to my building staring out the glass door and holding on to the handle. I sat in the car for a couple minutes hoping he would move because I really didn't want to socialize with him or go near him because he creeps me out. I finally gave up and walked towards the entrance. When I walked to the door he opened it, then continued to stand there. About half an hour later I went out to take the Mrs. to work and he was still standing by the door, except now he was standing outside.
I dropped the Mrs. off at work and got gas, about an hour had passed before I got back home and creepy old guy was still standing there! He looked like he was waiting for someone or something, except he had been standing their staring out into the parking lot for at least 2 hours that I know of. Whatever or whoever he was waiting for obviously wasn't going to show up. I have no idea how long he was standing there after that but it was really strange. He is always standing around or sitting on the balcony next door watching everyone, I feel like he is undressing me with his eyes.
Creepy old guy also only appears to wear one pair of clothes. He always wears the same shorts and an old green scrub top. I am pretty sure that he is not a surgeon and he may or may not be unemployed so I never quite understood the need for a uniform top especially since you can't wear shorts in a medical setting.
He kind of reminds me of characters on the TV show "Fringe" called The Observers. They are these creepy bald guys that exist in the 4th dimension and appear during important events in the universe. They can travel through time and alternate dimensions just to watch them and keep the space time continuum on track. They are in every episode kind of like Where's Waldo they just stand around in the background watching people and staring blankly because they lack human emotions. Except they always wear suits and creepy old guy wears a scrub top and shorts. I like to pretend that he is some kind of other-worldly being that has to observe and report on all the anomalies of the universe, I know that's not true but at least it keeps me from worrying about him breaking into our apartment and stealing our underwear. Which reminds me season 4 of Fringe starts tomorrow!
They are watching, and possibly picturing you naked.

DENVER (AP) -- Forecasters are warning of dangerous avalanche conditions in Colorado's mountains after as much as 3 feet of snow fell in some areas over the last 48 hours.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center says the danger will ease through the weekend, but forecasters warn that backcountry travelers could easily trigger a destructive or deadly slide.
The center says the avalanche danger is high in the mountains of southwestern Colorado. The danger is considerable in some northern Colorado ranges.

So let's share what kinds of jobs we do, if we work from home, etc.
To start: I work in a Rape Crisis office, where I'm an advocate for women who have been sexually assaulted. We work on empowerment as well as legal issues, and most of all coping. I get called out to the hosp. at all hours of the night to be with the survivor.
This always stops the conversation ASAP because people don't know what to say. But there is a need for it, so I do it.
So, what interesting jobs do you all have?

Illinois DOT to spend $322 million on highway, bridge projects
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On September 13, 2010 @ 1:33 pm In Aggbeat Online | No Comments
llinois proposes to spend more than $322 million on 37 Rockford, Ill.-area highway and bridge projects through 2016 as part of the Illinois Department of Transportation's Multi-Year Transportation Improvement Program, according to a report in the Rockford Register-Star [1].
It's all In 2011 alone, the program includes $24 million for the Morgan Street bridge replacement; $30 million for work on Illinois 2; and intersection reconstruction projects at North Main and Auburn streets and Illinois 173 and Illinois 251, the newspaper reported.
There are 17 projects listed for Winnebago and Boone counties in 2011, but individual projects can be postponed or rescheduled based on need and funding availability, said Mike Maddox, a planner with RMAP, the area's regional transportation planning agency, in the newspaper report.
According to the report, the plan calls for rebuilding the state road from Smythe Avenue to Alpine Road in the spring with construction done in 2012.

Joe Saunders is ready; Texas Rangers may not be
DETROIT – Given the Rangers' injury-plagued season, here's something of a man-bites-dog story. Left-hander Joe Saunders joined the team for the trip to Detroit and proclaimed himself ready to rejoin the rotation, but the Rangers aren't quite sure if they are ready to welcome him back.
Saunders made his fourth rehab start on Tuesday for Round Rock, holding Iowa to a run in seven innings.
"I can't imagine another rehab outing would be in the picture," Saunders said.
But it very well could be.
Friday's events are likely to determine the next step with Saunders. He will throw a bullpen session for pitching coach Mike Maddux, but more importantly Scott Baker will make his first start for the Rangers. If Baker pitches well against Detroit, the Rangers may very well ask Saunders to make a fifth start while they continue to sort through their rotation. If Baker struggles, it is more likely Saunders would step into the rotation the next time through.
Follow Evan Grant on Twitter: @Evan_P_Grant
Briefly: OF Leonys Martin did not start for the third consecutive game, but it was not related to the stiff neck that knocked him out of the last two games. Manager Ron Washington said he wanted the right-handed hitting Robertson to face lefty Robbie Ray. Martin was hitting only .234 for the season and .223 for his career against lefties. In his first at-bat after replacing Robertson, he singled off Ray. … General manager Jon Daniels said the Rangers would add a player to the roster for Friday's game at Detroit. That is likely to be INF Donnie Murphy, currently on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock, who did not start against Iowa on Thursday.

GSC: Operation Sole SupportBy David Finley | March 7th, 2013 | Category: Lead Story | No Comments »
GSC's Operation Sole Support
While many know that Glenville State College offers a quality education for local students, as well as being a source of employment for many families, it is often understated how much the college contributes to the daily lives of other people in the community as well. From college sponsored projects that are cleaning up litter along roadsides and parks, removing trash and tires in nearby streams, or that have repaired and painted local houses, the college has continuously contributed to the growth and health of the area. Another project that is giving back to the community is currently underway.
'Operation Sole Support for Physical Education' was created during the fall of 2011 by GSC students enrolled in the Education 351 and Physical Education 326 classes. These college students, who were observing physical education classes in the local schools, noticed that some children did not have tennis shoes to wear during gym class. The elementary students, who were without shoes, were wearing only socks, resulting in a dangerous environment while doing physical activities on slippery gymnasium floors. These soon to be educators decided that it would be a good service project to the community to collect some shoes and distribute them to those students in need.
"Collecting new and barely used tennis shoes to distribute to local school children has become a tradition for the students in PED 326 (Teaching Physical Education in Elementary Schools). It is refreshing to see our students taking civic responsibility for others especially the young students they will be teaching very soon," said GSC Associate Professor of Physical Education and Athletic Director Janet Bailey. To date, GSC students have collected over one-hundred pairs of shoes that have been donated to Gilmer County Schools.
"Being from Gilmer County, I know some of the hardships that some people in the area go through. So I believe by giving shoes to those students who need them for class will be a great help to those kids and their parents as well," said GSC Robert L. Stump, a sophomore Education major from Glenville, West Virginia.
GSC students will be collecting new and almost new tennis shoes through the end of March 2013 for this community oriented project. In addition to shoes, there will also be a 'Sox Box' for new sock donations to accompany these shoes to their respective owners. Grades 1-5 are the target group for these shoes, so any size that would fit an elementary student will be used and appreciated. The shoes will be given to the two physical education instructors in the Gilmer County School System they will then determine which students are most need of gym shoes. The shoe and sock donations can be dropped off in collection boxes that are currently located in the GSC PE and Health Building. Monetary donations will also be accepted for the project at the GSC Athletic Department office.
For more information about 'Operation Sole Support for Physical Education,' feel free to contact Bailey at: firstname.lastname@example.com or (304) 462-6220.

I've just started working with Shayne and her team at Urban Enterprises for two of my clients, and I am blown away by how easy they are to work with, and how professional and responsive they are. Our most recent campaign had an EXTREMELY short turnaround (less than a day) and they didn't break a sweat as they marshaled all of their resources to make it happen. There are so many direct marketing options out there, but I don't know of any other that hand delivers directly to your office prospects like Urban Enterprises does. Its a great vehicle for driving traffic, and her team is top notch.

The recent letter from JoAnn Claps reflects her progressive belief that any restraint on the free exercise of government is tantamount to obstruction rather than constitutional restraint of government power.
The Senate rules permit filibusters, used by both parties, to prevent the "tyranny of the majority" that is considered anathema to the republic. This has served the country well in controlling governmental excess, from both parties.
It is hypocritical of her to complain about the Republicans not voting for something when a majority of Americans support it when she vehemently defended Obamacare, conceived behind closed doors, enacted by changing the House rules, without it being read, and with a large majority of Americans opposing it.
Ms. Claps has a selective memory in the fact that the FAA fiasco was the direct result of the plan conceived by the White House and then used to force a tax increase to prevent sequestration. Also forgotten are the memos dictating that spending cuts must provide the full "pain" of sequestration.
Her letter omitted the administration's history of continuing lies and cover-ups for Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, reporter phone records secretly seized from AP, and the repetition of the myth that 90 percent of guns in Mexico came from the U.S. while apologizing to Mexico for the drug war (debunked by both FactCheck.org and Stratford Global Analysis showing 90 percent could not be traced to the U.S.). His Justice Department's gun-running was directly involved in the deaths of Americans and Mexicans. Unlike his lie that Fast and Furious was started under Bush, Wide Receiver was coordinated with Mexico and terminated well before Obama took office.
The lies on Benghazi are especially appalling since four people were killed and testimony clearly indicates the depth of the lies. General Petraeus indirectly implicated Obama for calling a military stand-down when he testified the CIA did not order it. The only other authorized authority to do so is the President.
Regarding the opposition to the nominated judges, they are radical activist judges like Goodwin Liu who says that judges have legislative power over the Constitution, and Caitlan Halligan, who ruled gun manufacturers liable for gun crimes and advocates for foreign terrorist civil rights.
This is what people should remember in 2014.

Numerical Simulation of FSI in the Design Process for a New Axial Hydraulic Pump
From 2012 Automotive Simulation World Congress: Gdansk University used numerical simulation to develop a high-pressure hydraulic axial pump for applications that demand high power. Its unique feature is the total independence of a pressure-switching mechanism, which saves weight and enables control by computer. Researchers found that when the pressure changes from high to low via a commutative bushing, harmful pressure peaks occurred. A compensation chamber between the high- and low-pressure areas was introduced. Interdisciplinary numerical simulation was used to find the optimal layout of the chamber and pump. The hydraulic oil and the piston movement were modeled in ANSYS Fluent.

Cardamon-dominance or not, it was divine.
(P.S. Ashley's latest Serious Eats post will be up on the site today–check it out!)
(P.S. Ashley's latest Serious Eats post will be up on the site today–check it out!)
i wouldn't mind a slice for breakfast! this looks fantastic.
I know I would love this. It looks delicious! I made a nectarine upside down cake last fall that I'd recommend: http://thesoho.blogspot.com/2010/09/nectarine-dream.html
OH MY GOD. I'm detoxing right now so this is definitely a no go for me this week but next week…. I have to save the recipe!!! Ymmmmmyyyyy
omg. i would pay you $2,000 to mail me one of those (to germany). okay maybe not that much but almost.
This looks so yummy! I just found your blog last week and have already read through all your travels. My husband and I moved to the city this summer and will be taking full advantage of traveling like yall have. Thanks!!
Mmm, that sounds delicious! I rather like cardamom, personally – do you have the cookbook "Spice"? The author groups her recipes by spice groups of three that work together – you should check what is supposed to complement cardamom!
it looks so yummy~!!!
Oh yum! I love your food posts, they always make me feel inspired.
what a great modification! looks delicious
we baked this weekend too. what else is there to do? it's freaking 8 degrees.
That looks amazing… and you're right, perfect for this cold snap we're in.
So yum looking! I've never made an upside down cake but love the idea of pears – perfect for this time of year!
I love upside-downs and this one sounds incredibly delicious. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
My blogfeed seems to be flooded with delicious recipes this morning. So much good food. This looks perfect for a cold winter day.
Oh that looks sooooo good!
I agree. Baking is all you can do in this kind of weather. I've tried perfecting scones with great results I don't have a recipe I've tried, but this pear upsidedown cake from A Chow Life caught my attention a while back.
oh I'm drooling! you are right, the cold weather calls for baking. I like that you altered the recipe and didn't go with the traditional ingredients. I would love to try this.
I'm off now to visit Ashley's post!
ps. yes, my nephew loved your book!
Ohh yes it's been really really cold here!! I live in Southern NY near NYC. This is such a cute cake!!! I love the pear idea!! =)
I found a recipe from fine cooking which we baked for my birthday and was wonderful. It is a dark chocolate banana caramel upside down cake. I also did a pear ginger molasses cake with pumpkin whipped cream for my mom's birthday and fantastic.
Yum – Although it is not cold down here in Flood stricken Brisbane! I do feel like an upside down cake too. Perhaps I will use the pineapple to make it more tropical and eat it with vanilla ice-cream.
I wish you and all of your neighbors the best in Brisbane, WTHI. The proportions of the flooding are just unimaginable. Glad that the suggestion of Pineapple Upside-down cake might add some levity.
Thank you for these tremendous suggestions! Um, dark chocolate banana caramel upside down cake? Yes, please!
Glad you like the photos. I wish there were leftovers…
Wow, if that were sitting in my kitchen right now it would be gone in 5 minutes. (And it's just me here right now!) Looks beautifully delicious.
Oh, this looks scrumptious! I have never tried pineapple upside down cake, but I certainly plan to one day! I will definitely have to try this recipe out one day!
Thank you for sharing! You have a very lovely blog.
This is beautiful and perfect. I am going to make it today while the snow is falling…again. Thank you writing such an interesting blog!
I made a cake almost identical to this in a skillet but it used ginger instead of cardamom. Also remember really enjoying this one from Gourmet several years ago: http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/2000s/2009/02/orange-polenta-cake
When I was a wee lass I used to make pineapple upside down cake for my family in the summer. But these beeeyootiful pics make me want to try the pear version. Thanks so much for sharing those gorgeous shots!
I just made a cranberry upside down cake and it was a huge hit. I used this recipe:
Yum! So delicious.
Yum – I love pears in the Winter. I've always wanted to try poached pears in syrup as a dessert, sounds so indulgent!
ooooooooooooooooooo no. (as in – ooooooooooooooooooo yes)
I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff on this post

Bales Doesn't Recall Details of Alleged Attacks, Lawyer Says
Robert Bales, the U.S. Army staff sergeant suspected of killing at least 16 Afghan civilians, is "confused" and doesn't recall some details of the alleged assault, the soldier's attorney said.
"He doesn't remember everything about the events in question," John Henry Browne, a Seattle lawyer, told reporters after meeting Bales yesterday at the Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, prison where he is being held. "That doesn't mean he has amnesia."
Today, Browne questioned how much evidence the government has in the killings on March 11.
"There are no eyewitnesses, as far as we know, that the government has at the scene of the incident," Browne said. "There is no forensic evidence. If I was the prosecutor, I'd be concerned about how we prove anything."
Browne met with Bales at the prison yesterday and said he will seek "more details, more background" in a meeting today. He said the Army is likely to file charges on March 22 against Bales, 38, for the killings in two villages.
Women and children were among the victims in the shootings that exacerbated tensions between the U.S. and Afghanistan and threaten to undermine support for President Barack Obama's plans to keep troops there until 2014.
'War on Trial'
Browne, 65, who has defended clients in multiple-homicide cases, said in an interview yesterday that he opposed the war and asked, "How would you like to be the mother or father of the last soldier killed in Afghanistan?"
"People ask if we are going to put the war on trial," Browne said. "The war is on trial. I don't know why we are in Afghanistan."
While the Army is providing Browne extensive access to Bales, the attorney said, "I know the military is not happy with having a private lawyer involved."
Navy Captain John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, declined yesterday to comment on Browne's remarks about the timing of charges in the case except to say "look to Kabul for release of the charges," a reference to the U.S. Army's operations there. Kirby said Bales also has been assigned military counsel.
Karilyn Bales, wife of the accused soldier, said in a statement yesterday that what happened in the Afghan villages "was a terrible and heartbreaking tragedy."
"What has been reported is completely out of character of the man I know and admire," she said in a statement issued by a family spokesman. "Please respect me when I say I cannot shed any light on what happened that night, so please do not ask. I too want to know what happened."
'In Shock'
The family "is in shock," Browne said. He said the government has arranged a phone call between Bales and his relatives.
The stress of a fourth combat deployment, a troubled marriage and alcohol use may have combined to provoke the killings, a U.S. official briefed on the investigation of Bales has said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Browne disputed that account.
"Everyone has had issues in their lives," he said in the interview yesterday. "Some people do six or seven tours, but the question is whether the last tour was too much for someone with a concussive brain injury."
Bales had a brain injury and lost part of a foot during three tours of duty in Iraq before being sent to Afghanistan in December. Bales told Browne he had only a few sips of liquor, the lawyer said.
Medium Security
Browne, the former chief trial lawyer in the King County Office of the Public Defender, has represented clients including serial killer Ted Bundy and mass murderer Benjamin Ng.
Browne said Bales's situation most closely compares with Ng, who was convicted in the killing of 13 people in Seattle in 1983. Ng was spared a death sentence.
"I'm still surprised by that case," Browne said.
Bales was being held in a medium-security facility in his own cell. He spent the weekend in the military prison under the same routine as other pretrial detainees -- usually about a dozen -- at the medium-security prison, Fort Leavenworth spokeswoman Rebecca Steed said yesterday in an interview.
Lights are turned on at 5 a.m. and prisoners are escorted to a dining hall for meals at 5:15 a.m., 11:20 a.m. and 3:51 p.m., according to a fact sheet provided by the prison. Outdoor activity, including soccer, basketball and track is restricted to 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., according to the report. Lights-out is at 10:05 p.m.
Bales is off that schedule until midweek as he meets with his lawyers, she said.
"For personnel inside the facility, it's business as usual," she said.
Prisoners can provide a list of requested visitors, who are then vetted by authorities, Steed said.
