HOUSE CALL: A different kind of shoulder joint replacement
SAN ANGELO, Texas - According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, more than 900,000 Americans have surgery to replace knee or hip joints each year, and an additional 53,000 Americans undergo shoulder replacement.
Although shoulder replacement is less common than knee or hip joint replacement, it is just as successful at relieving joint pain, generally caused by arthritis.
To understand shoulder joint replacement, it is helpful to understand some basic anatomy. The human shoulder is composed of three bones: the humerus (upper arm bone); the scapula (shoulder blade); and the clavicle (collarbone). The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint: the ball, or head, of the upper arm bone fits into a shallow socket called the glenoid, which is part of the shoulder blade.
The muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder are collectively called the rotator cuff. The tendons stabilize the shoulder, while the muscles allow the shoulder to rotate, giving it a greater range of motion than any other joint in the body.
The rotator cuff is affected by constant wear and can degenerate over time, developing tears. In some people, these tears will remain small and not cause significant problems. In other people, the tears will enlarge, become chronic and create a condition known as cuff tear arthropathy. One of the classic findings of cuff tear arthropathy is the changed position of the humerus. It migrates upward in the joint where it begins to rub against part of the scapula, which may destroy joint cartilage and lead to arthritis. The condition can be diagnosed with an X-ray and possibly an MRI.
Patients suffering with cuff tear arthropathy are not candidates for a traditional shoulder joint replacement because that procedure requires a functional rotator cuff. For older patients with shoulder arthritis whose rotator cuffs have been compromised, one treatment approach can be a reverse shoulder replacement. It can also be useful in some patients who had a fracture or previous shoulder replacement that has failed and needs revision.
In this procedure, the surgeon reverses the positions of the socket and metal ball in the prosthesis, meaning the ball becomes a socket and the socket is replaced with the ball, called the glenosphere. This repositions the center of rotation in the shoulder and allows the patient to use the deltoid muscle instead of the torn rotator cuff to lift the arm. It is important to note that a reverse shoulder replacement can restore some lost motion, but its primary function is pain relief.
As with all joint replacement surgeries, physical therapy contributes to a positive outcome. Supervised therapy begins immediately after surgery and generally lasts for six weeks. During that time, activity limits and lifting restrictions are in place. For most patients, full recovery is achieved by six months, but heavy lifting should be avoided forever, making this option most suitable for older, less active patients, who do not have physically demanding jobs. Patients with arthritis and a nonfunctional rotator cuff who need to continue heavy activity should explore other options, such as a special type of hemiarthroplasty, or partial joint replacement with their orthopedist.
Reverse shoulder replacement has been used in the United States since 2004, and the short- and midterm results are promising. Physicians report good improvement in outcome measures, and patients report good satisfaction with the procedure. Additional long-term studies are needed to provide an accurate estimate of the procedure's longevity.

Patriot Players score top theater award
June 18, 2013
A month after the Liberty High School Patriot Players took audiences on a journey through Oz, they returned to the stage again, accepting a top honor at the 5th Avenue Theatre Awards June 11.
In what has become an annual tradition for the successful performing arts program, Liberty drama students joined more than 2,000 of their peers from across the state at the show that is likened to the high school version of the Tony Awards.
"It's a big deal, because it's like if state football met the Tonys for drama," Liberty sophomore Lorrin Hunt said.
Liberty christens new theater with 'The Wizard of Oz'
April 23, 2013
Seattle's lush greenery may lend itself to its Emerald City nickname, but fans of Dorothy, and her little dog too, know that the true Emerald City is a magnificent metropolis inhabited by a powerful wizard, situated at the end of a yellow brick road.
Audiences young and old are invited to take that long, winding journey from Kansas to Oz with the Liberty High School Patriot Players, as they break in the school's new theater with a musical performance of "The Wizard of Oz."
"I think everyone is super, super excited for this," said Liberty junior Maddy Daly, who plays Dorothy. "'The Wizard of Oz' is an iconic show and we're going to debut our new performing arts center. It can't get any better than that."

The current-day Kim Kardashian and Nicole Richie. / Steve Granitz, WireImage; Michael Loccisano, Getty Images for Styletag
Kim Kardashian's throwing it back to her early years with an Instagram photo of her and friend Nicole Richie as teens.
"#ThrowbackThursday @nicolerichie and I being oh so cool at 13 years old," Kardashian, now 33, captioned the photo. (Richie's almost a full year younger at 32, so they're probably not both 13 in this photo, but we're sure it's close enough.)
In the adorkable pic that appears to have been taken in a photo booth, Kardashian, long before she was posting butt selfies, flashes a ring-bedecked thumbs up while the former Simple Life star shows off her braces.
Richie's response to Kardashian on Twitter? "Brace Yourselves!" Ha! Get it?
There is, however, little acne in sight. Not fair!

Years she lived there: 1970-1976.
How she remembers it: "I landed in the projects late--at the age of 20 after my marriage broke up. Life was very difficult. I remember walking up eight flights of steps in total darkness and being very scared. Rich people can live in a high-rise and a kind of respect prevails. But here you had people who had no money and a number of people with low self-esteem. Everybody's packed in together. I was a single parent. I got welfare and worked a lot of part-time jobs. Hard as it was, public housing was a savior for me. I remember the day I went to the caseworker and told her I didn't need welfare payments anymore. She told me she never had anyone say that to her. I worked hard and got a full scholarship to Temple University. And that was nice, because when I was a little girl my mother would send me to Columbia Avenue to buy fish, and I remember seeing all the Temple kids and thinking how much I wanted to be one of them. And now here it happened for me. I think of that whenever I hear people screaming for reparations. I tell them I just went out and got mine. My mom cleaned floors and bathrooms to make money. Now I'm an educator and in charge of a charter school. Say what you want, but you can make it, and that's what's great about this country."
Occupation: News anchor, NBC-10.

Public housing project: Johnson Homes.
Years he lived there: 1941-1953.
How he remembers it: "I had heat, hot water, a playground--we even had a gardener, Mr. Cubberdale. He planted flowers around our building. What more could you want? We didn't know we were poor. I have no recollection of crime. There were lots of mom-and-pop stores in our neighborhood. There was also an A&P and Jaffe's Drug Store. I always worked. I worked in the A&P and at Jaffe's. I remember the lady next door to us, Bertha Cooper, got a new 12-and-a-half-inch TV. It was the first TV I ever saw. I went nearly blind watching it. Our projects were two- and three-story buildings. We lived on the second and third floors. Five of us lived there--my brother, two sisters, my mother. My parents separated when I was 6. I couldn't afford college, so right out of high school I went into the military. I took a bit of the long way around to get to where I am. I live in Lafayette Hill now. I have a two-car garage, four bedrooms, a study, a nice size house, all the trappings of Middle America. What I worried about most back then was the next meal--not so much whether I'd get one, but what it would be. We depended on 'commodities'--government supplied food. We'd get cheese, and this margarine, which was really a 1-pound tub of lard. It had a big orange center. There were guys a lot smarter than me who stayed in the project mentality. The idea of public housing should be to use it for a time, get a lift and move on. Thanks to my mother, we were taught to make a living and do the family proud. I always knew I'd leave the projects someday and go to college--the big trick was figuring out how. Our building is still standing there. I still drive by and take a look. It can be sobering."

This is a major factor that most internet only TV dreamers just wont get. Pretty much all of the major networks and channels have ties to the Cable industry. So on top of technical problems related to distribution over the net of live feeds, the source material just wont allow it.
The only thing that could worked is if companies like Netflix succeed in making there own content and becomes the new "HBO" by providing material that's only available over the net. Youtube, netflix and Amazon are trying to break the channels cartels, its going to be an interesting battle.

Adams sees progress, hopeful for end of NHL labor dispute
Penguins/NHL Videos
One day after NHL Players' Association special counsel Steve Fehr said a labor deal with the NHL remains quite possible, Penguins player representative Craig Adams echoed those sentiments.
Adams took an optimistic stance on a number of issues following a workout at Southpointe on Tuesday. He downplayed the possibility of the NHL shutting down the 2012-13 season, though he did not dismiss it.
"We aren't there yet," Adams said. "Obviously, there is a deadline where we won't be able to have a season. We aren't going to start a season in March. But that stuff is up to the schedule makers and the league. We aren't there yet."
He also expressed hope that more talks will begin soon. The NHL and NHLPA met for four days in New York last week, and although the meetings were tense and not always productive, Adams remains encouraged by the dialogue. No meetings are currently scheduled.
"I think both sides are ready and willing to talk again," he said. "I think the meetings in New York were productive. We made progress on some issues. We got closer on some things. It was positive in that regard."
Adams has said many times that the NHL has been unwilling to partake in legitimate negotiations.
"Ready and willing to sit down and talk is different than being ready and willing to make a true effort to get a deal," Adams said. "We'll see what happens."
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed in an email Tuesday that, while the sides aren't close to solving any major issues, the NHL is not currently considering cancelling more games.

Cop-killer law lowers death-penalty threshold
|(CLEVELAND) -- A man convicted of killing a city police officer is now on death row because of a recent legal wrinkle in state law that was inspired by the slaying of another Cleveland patrolman.
A 1998 law governing cases in which police officers are killed in action took hold for the first time Thursday when Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Daniel Gaul sentenced Quisi Bryan, 30, to death for killing Patrolman Wayne Leon last June during a traffic stop.
Backers say the law, enacted after the killer of another officer escaped capital punishment three years ago, should be a warning against pulling a weapon on an officer.
Leon suspected that Bryan's temporary license plates had been altered. Bryan, wanted for a parole violation, shot the officer in the face when he ignored a warning not to touch his police radio - a step that Bryan knew would lead to Leon learning about his criminal record.
Under the old law, prosecutors would have had to prove that Bryan had planned to kill Leon, to wind up with a sentence of death.
But now, because the victim was a police officer, all prosecutors had to prove was that Bryan intended to kill Leon when the slaying occurred.
A Cuyahoga County jury, in fact, acquitted Bryan of acting with prior calculation, but still convicted him of aggravated murder with death penalty specifications. They ruled Bryan intended to kill Leon when he pulled the trigger and the victim was a police officer.
That option wasn't available three years ago when the killer of Patrolman Hilary Cudnik was sentenced to 32 years to life in prison.
Jurors convicted Cudnik's killer of murder but spared him the death penalty because one juror wasn't convinced that Leonard Hughes, then 37, had planned to kill the officer during a car chase.
Gary Suhadolnik, who sponsored the tougher law in the Senate, said the measure grew out of discussions involving himself, Cudnik's family and the prosecutor who handled the Hughes trial.
''We saw this as a problem with the law and it needed to be fixed,'' said Suhadolnik, now the state commerce director.
As for the Bryan case, ''This was exactly the kind of circumstance in which the jury should have the option of the death penalty,'' Suhadolnik said.
Mike Taylor, a Columbus police officer and secretary of the 24,000-member Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, said the real test of the tougher law will be whether it becomes a deterrent.
Maybe, Taylor said, ''People knowing this will think twice about even pulling a gun on an officer. If something goes wrong, there will be a price to pay.''
Jonathan Entin, a Case Western Reserve University law professor, said making it easier to execute police killers was the goal of the law.
But the automatic appeal of Bryan's case to the Ohio Supreme Court might raise the constitutional issue of whether police killers are being treated differently than other murderers, Entin said.
''I can see the argument that we are treating criminal defendants based on whom they are found to have killed,'' he said. Still, Entin said he wasn't sure whether the argument would succeed.
Gaul imposed the death penalty on Bryan, but said Friday he did so only because he felt duty bound under the law. He personally opposes capital punishment, he said.
Gaul also agreed with Entin that the enhanced status of police officers as victims under the Ohio death penalty law is bound to be challenged in higher courts. He wouldn't predict how that will eventually turn out.

The Rushdie Affair and Its Aftermath:
by Kenan Malik
Melville, 288 pp., $25
Daniel Pipes's The Rushdie Affair: The Novel, the Ayatollah, and the West appeared in 1990, when tensions provoked by The Satanic Verses were still running high. Even after two decades it remains the most balanced account of the events, but it bears mentioning here for another reason: While Pipes pointed out the tendency of radicals to dominate the "Islamic arena," and asserted that the affair marked the emergence of Muslims living in Europe as a political force, he concluded on a sanguine note: "The ayatollah's accomplishments must not be exaggerated. The global fear of early 1989 is not likely to be soon repeated. . . . The Satanic Verses is likely to remain without match."
As Kenan Malik puts the matter here, however, "the Rushdie affair was a warning that the seeds of the Iranian Revolution were being scattered successfully across the globe."
There have been more spectacular and deadlier instances of worldwide "Muslim outrage" since 1989, but the Muhammad cartoon protests of 2005 and 2006 hewed to the pattern established by the Rushdie affair. This time it was not a single government picking a fight with a private individual in a foreign country, but the protests likewise resulted in numerous deaths and death threats, provoked a diplomatic confrontation with "the West," and had enormous economic repercussions. The major difference lies in the response of the West: In 1989, it had stood (more or less) solidly behind Rushdie and the principle of freedom of speech, but by 2006, governments and the opinion classes had, in Malik's words, "internalized the fatwa." Any criticism of Islam by Westerners was considered insensitive. Thus, another manufactured debate of 2006, over the filming in London of the novel Brick Lane, led feminist Germaine Greer to take the side of the protesters, proclaiming that "the community has the moral right to keep the filmmakers out." According to Malik, Greer doubted the "authenticity" of novelist Monica Ali to "speak for" Muslims.
We should not be surprised. Germaine Greer, after all, represents the rise in the past several decades of those who, without elected mandate, claim to "speak for" certain constituencies: think National Organization for Women or Al Sharpton. The result has been the erosion of a founding stone of liberal democracy, freedom of speech, as special interest groups have effectively outlawed criticism by rebranding it as "hate speech." Muslims, too, according to Malik, are now treated by governments and the opinion classes as a "singular, uniform entity"—and death to those who differ.
From Fatwa to Jihad, by the Indian-born, Manchester-raised Londoner Malik, portrays how this lethal form of political correctness grew from the balkanization of society. Part coming-of-age story, it also depicts a fall from grace: the abandonment by the contemporary left of the ideals of common humanity and universal rights—"secular humanism"—for multiculturalism—"treating people differently in order to treat them equally." If that sounds Orwellian, it should, because multiculturalism is the smiley face of totalitarianism.
Malik was 21 in 1981 when Midnight's Children made Salman Rushdie a literary star. He also became a hero to Malik and others of Asian background in Britain, not for "his incendiary assaults on Islam," but for "his brutal battering of racism." In the 1970s, the disaffected among this in-between generation called themselves "blacks" in solidarity with the Black Panthers and also with the Afro-Caribbean immigrants who were likewise experiencing discrimination in housing and employment. They had few religious inclinations, and their radicalism was defined in opposition to mosque and the traditionalists, including the views of the latter concerning the role of women.
But by the end of the 1980s, there was a vast turnaround, and disaffection found a new home in fundamentalist Islam. The Rushdie affair, as Pipes noted, is replete with ironies: Rushdie, whose oeuvre abounds with his dislike of the West and especially of "the great American fist" (as in The Jaguar Smile: A Nicaraguan Journey), had denounced the shah and supported Iran's Islamic Revolution of 1979. The fundamentalists protesting The Satanic Verses in 1988 and 1989, however, viewed Rushdie as another lackey of the Great Satan.

{PlayLearning} Dinosaurs
|August 19, 2013
|Posted by Luschka under 3 - 4 years, By Age, Colours, Communication, Language and Literacy, Creative Development, Fine Motor Skills, Home Learning, Physical Development, Rainy Day Activities, Toddler Crafts
I was curious to see how dinosaurweek would go down in our home, as my daughters are just over one, and not yet four – not the target age or gender for dinosaurs, normally. Turns out, however, that they absolutely loved it. We had two dinosaur books that we focused on this week:
- Mini House: The Land of Dinosaurs a brilliant shaped mini book, a lot of fun for visual learners, as it's a 3D book.
- Things You Never Knew About Dinosaurs, a colourful, bright and silly book that will give giggles and culminate in a 'BOO' moment at the end.
Ameli chose a dinosaur she liked out of 'Things You Never Knew About Dinosaurs' and she made her interpretation of the dinosaurs that ride around on bikes. Another day another dinosaur, so we made some quick and easy salt dough:
- 1/2 cup of salt
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 cup of flour
Of course, no conversation about dinosaurs can be complete without excavation. I put some toys, pompoms and water beads into blocks of ice, and the girls had a lovely, cooling, time 'excavating'. I would say keep the blocks small for younger children, as they lost interest half way through. Smaller blocks would give them the pleasure of completion in the small attention span time frame.
I've seen these dinosaur eggs floating around Pinterest for ages now, and thought we'd try it for the dinosaur week.
I boiled a few eggs – the Thermomix makes amazing boiled eggs! – and then Ameli cracked them gently. We then poured some food colouring over them and left them for a few hours.
Later, Ameli peeled the eggs, which is great fine motor skill practice, and equally great for learning how to work really gently.
The peeled eggs looked fantastic, really! The blue egg only had a couple of cracks in, so didn't have the same pattern. It was a fun experiment, and a yummy lunch.
The finished dinosaur eggs:

Welcome to Carmel!We are pleased to share a bit about our dogs and ourselves. We are proud of the quality exemplified in our dogs and hope that you will enjoy browsing this site and learning how we have achieved success and what our future plans may be. If you do not find answers to any questions you may have, feel free to contact us by e-mail or by telephone. We are located in Sandy, Utah.
|**CH Allaruth Carmel Sweet Marie v Sole Baye, a "Cooper" daughter, now being specialed by Carma, received the Best of Opposite Sex award at the AMSC Specialty on June 22nd in Long Beach, CA. "Cece" and Carma have been Best of Opposite Sex in quite a number of shows now. "Cece" is a full litter sister to "J.J" and a full sister to "Justin" from a repeat breeding of Cooper and Pixie!
|**Carmel Living the Dream (aka "Dreamer"), a "Cooper" great-granddaughter, was awarded Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex at the "Woofstock" (Lake County, CA) show in early summer 2014.
|**We are so very proud of yet another "Cooper" son, CH Allaruth Carmel Still Kidding v Sole Baye, who was Best of Breed on the final day of the Mission Circuit on May 26, 2014, in Pomona, CA. He also was recognized by Breeder-Judge Wyoma Clouss as Best in the Terrier Group that day! (To see more about "JJ" please click here)
|Carmel Mini Schnauzers holds a new, important piece of breed history thanks to GCH Allaruth Just Kidding v Sole Baye. "Justin," a "Cooper" son, defeated 41,111 dogs of all breeds during his 2012 and 2013 show career handled by Bergit Kabel. He was awarded a grand total of 32 All-Breed Bests in Show - the greatest number of BIS awards for any Mini Schnauzer to date! Justin was bred and is co-owned by Mrs. Ruth Ziegler (Allaruth) and Mrs. Yvonne Billie Phelps (Sole Baye). (Portrait -left above- by Gay Glazbrook. Right above - one of Justin's many BIS awards.)
|Another Cooper offspring, "Uno" (aka Carmel One Tru Luv - pictured below), was Best of Opposite in Sweepstakes on Friday of Great Western Weekend at the MS Club of So. CA specialty show. Mrs. Margaret Doty was the breeder-judge for Sweeps.
|"Cooper" was in attendance as a Veteran at Montgomery County in October 2010, where he received an Award of Merit from Judge Edd Bivin (photo below). He was handled by Bergit Kabel for the AMSC Fall Specialty show at Ludwig's Corner, PA. Cooper also achieved his "Grand Champion" title in only three weekends.
A little history...
My first Miniature Schnauzer was an eight-week-old, uncropped, Valentine's present from my husband back in 1974. We named her "Heidi" and she was the love of our life. Of course, we knew nothing about crate-training and she was a naughty puppy! She was great during the day, but if we left her in the evening, she would spread garbage around the room and chew up my husband's shoes (only his - as if it were his fault that we left her). Read more. . .
A lot of pride...Here are a few of the major accomplishments of Carmel Mini Schnauzers:
- Aljamar Honey Delite ("Candy") was bred to CH Aljamar Rabbit Punch and they produced the first multiple-black champion litter of three: CH Carmel Cracker Jack, CH Carmel Cinnamon 'N Honey, and CH Cinderella of Bon Vue. Candy became a Top Producer (of champions).
- CH Carmel Nite Life (Honey's daughter) was top black and top bitch for the year 1985. She was also the first black to win Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex at a national specialty handled by Priscilla Wells in Chicago.
- CH Carmel Nite Life was our first dog featured on the cover of Schnauzer Shorts in the June-July 1986 issue.
- In 2006, CH Hi-Line Carmel with a Twist ("Cooper") was Best of Breed at Devon (part of Montgomery County circuit) and was invited to the prestigious Eukanuba National Championships.
- "Cooper" finished ranked #4 MS in the U.S. in 2006.
- In February 2007, Cooper & Carma were awarded Best of Breed at the Westminister Kennel Club under breeder-judge Mr. David Kirkland.
- A "Cooper" son, CH Carmel Race to Kelvercrest (owned by Vera Potiker) was #1 Miniature Schnauzer in 2007 and 2008 in the United States as ranked by AKC in "Top Dogs in Conformation."
- In 2008, three dogs of Carmel breeding were ranked in the breed's Top 10 all at one time: "Trace" and CH Alpine Loft Carmel Gluhwein (owned by Karen and Brad Child) - both Cooper sons, and CH Carmel Klassi Take a Chance (black) bred by Betty Blank and Carma and owned by Betty.
- In Dec. 2009, CH Carmel Look to the Future was awarded Best of Breed and Best Bred-by Exhibitor at the Eukanuba National Championships by breeder-judge Mrs. Wyoma Clouss.

Giggs to captain Britain at OlympicsComment on this story
London – Ryan Giggs will captain Britain's soccer team at the London Olympics, head coach Stuart Pearce said on Sunday.
The 38-year-old Welsh winger, one of three over-age players in the 18-man squad, is taking part in his first international tournament and will captain the side for the first time when they play Brazil in a warm-up at Middlesbrough on July 20.
The appointment was confirmed on the English FA's website (www.thefa.com) on Sunday.
Giggs has won 12 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions Leagues with Manchester United and is the most decorated player in English soccer history but has never played in a major championship because of Wales' failure to reach either the World Cup or European finals during his long career.
The match against Brazil will be the first time Britain have fielded an Olympic squad since they played Bulgaria in a qualifier in 1971 ahead of the Munich Olympics the following year. They last played in the finals in 1960.
Britain faces Uruguay, United Arab Emirates and Senegal in their group stage matches. – Reuters

Wow, this is a pleasant surprise: Tito Ortiz and Rampage Jackson will square off on a Bellator PPV on November 2, 2013.
Granted, this fight would have been much more entertaining a few years back, but it's an ideal way for Bellator to jump into the PPV mix.
Both fighters sound rejuvenated after landing in Bellator.
"Over the last few years, my passion for MMA was completely killed, dealing with UFC politics and Dana (White)," Ortiz said in a press release. "I didn't have that drive to compete, my heart wasn't in it. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
A similar sentiment was echoed by Jackson.
"Honestly, I feel like I've been re-born," Jackson said. "My excitement. My energy and aggression, it's all back bigger than ever. I feel like a kid again."
While this may be two fighters blowing a lot of hit air, it's clear Bellator has signed two of the top fighters possible to headline their first PPV event.

Former Buena track standout Helena Leyrer competes in the 100-meter hurdles in 2012. / File photo
- Filed Under
Officially, according to the NJSIAA, the Buena Regional High School girls track and field team is the sixth-best Group II team in New Jersey.
Of course, if you use the scoring system from last year, and the one that could possibly be in place again as soon as next season, theyre No. 2. And, thats without running their best 4x400 team at the end of the meet.
In what will hopefully be a one-year trial, the state changed the way to score how to crown a team champion at a track meet with a convoluted scheme that is supposed to reward overall team depth rather than the performance of just one or two standout athletes. In essence, its a nobel cause, but, after so many years, whats the point? And what do old state titles mean compared to future ones?
Under the old system, the top six finishers in each event from the four sections advanced to the State Group Championships. There, the top six were awarded points and a team champion was determined.
This year take a breath, turn off the television or music, because its a little rough the top two teams from each section are the only ones who can score at the state meet, and while the top six athletes from each event still advance, athletes placing from seventh to 12th will advance if their team finishes in the top two of their respective group. Deep breath now then, at the state meet, team scoring is based off performance against only the eight teams who are eligible, meaning, first-place team points can be, and were, awarded to an athlete who finished 10th or even lower.
Basically, the eight advancing teams are in their own little meet that runs simultaneously. Locally, that kept the Millville boys from being allowed to score points in Group IV after placing third in the sectional. They would have finished with 19 points, good for a solid seventh overall. Egg Harbor Township would have won, but instead, South Brunswick was crowned champion. The Eagles were relegated to third. Official state champion South Brunswick would have been third under the old system.
The Buena girls would have finished with 36 points, tied with Haddonfield. That would have been 12 behind would-be champion Westwood. Officially, Westwood was third. River Dell won. River Dell would have been fifth under the old rules.
Tweaking rules is one thing, and the NJSIAA should be encouraged to find ways to level the competitive balance and reward athletes, teams and schools for their outstanding performances. But fundamentally changing the way a title is awarded in track and field is akin to simply having football teams line up and attempt 30-yard field goals until one team misses and the other is deemed champion. A rule change shouldnt result in such a dramatically different set of results unless there was a serious problem with the old way. And there wasnt.
Sectional titles are won with depth, and teams arent awarded points for their most elite athletes at the Meet of Champions. The state meet might come down to a couple of standouts racking up gold medals, but its typically the fourth-through-sixth-place finishers that wind up giving a team that extra push to win a title.
The argument would be Buenas title in 2011 when Helena Leyrer accounted for 30 of her teams 32½ points. But Ashley Roman scored two with a fifth-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles and Emely Ramirez snagged some by finishing in a fifth-place tie in the high jump. Also, Leyrer was only a quarter of the winning 4x400 team that really clinched the victory, at a meet in which the top six teams were separated by just 4½ points.
If, from year-to-year, a title comes down to one schools D-I athlete against another in the 100, 200, long jump and triple jump, so be it. More often than not, some other performance is the determining factor.
Heres hoping the NJSIAA sounds the gun for a false start on the new rules.

New GrassMoots Team member Tab Tollett pilots his Moots
We've got a new shop in Chattanooga, TN (SUCK CREEK CYCLE) and to go along with the new shop we have a new GrassMoots Team member in Chattanooga as well. Meet Tab Tollett…..
To get things rolling, Tab writes about PICK YOUR POISON XC
So today I took the Moots YBB out for a 24 mile cross country race. I skipped the masters race as it was only 16 miles. I needed to beat my legs up a little and get in an additional lap. Yesterday I did a 4.5 hour single track training ride. It's time to start dialing up the miles for the Cohutta 100 next month. So this weekend I decided to double up and get in some intensity with the cross country race. I'm not a big fan of cross-country races as I like the longer endurance races between 50-100 miles. Anyways, this Sunday morning I awoke early. An hour earlier than my biological clock was used to due to daylight savings time going into effect. The race started off typically fast on and uphill rise onto a small section of pavement where it quickly funneled into a single track lap of fast twisty rolling terrain with a few short punchy climbs. Each lap was an eight mile trek through the Booker T Washington state park. At the end of the race I finished the open class mid pack as I expected. It was a fun way to spend a Sunday morning. The YBB was as always a pleasure to ride and I'm looking forward to dialing up the miles in preparation for the Cohutta 100 next month.

An image uploaded today and part of a set got me thinking of childhood and things I now miss about Scotland. that thing you click to see the image
Now although Big Dan, Gnasher and Dennis were not exclusive to Scotland, the publisher is a Dundee firm, DC Thompson & Sons. They also did wonderful cartoon strips in the Sunday Post, Oor Wullie and The Broons, every year for many years I would get the Annuals of both of these at Christmas .... Wonderful memories , then it got me thinking back to yet another image here today on epz, another linky thing this is as described by the OP and is a wonderful gallery in Glasgow, opposite this gallery I was again at Christmas time taken to the Kelvin Hall Circus, sights and smells that can never be forgotten..... Ricky Ross ( far more eloquent than I ) even sings about it.
All of these thoughts from two uploads, fantastic. Incidentally other images invoked thought and memory too, just in case you think I am biased toward Scottish images
Till next time

Fire Extinguisher
About that pan-seared salmon I was mentioning the other day…
Well, we just had to have it…on top of a mound of broccoli rabe.
Whoo-wee!! That broccoli rabe was fully loaded with garlic and red pepper flakes! It lit our mouths on fire, I tell you!
We definitely needed a wine to cool things down, so I grabbed for the 2011 Calcu Rosé from Chile (Sample, MSRP: $13 US).
This Chilean rosé made up of 55% Malbec, 35% Syrah and 10% Petit Verdot is slightly sweet, with hints of cherry and strawberry.
2 Stars out of 4. For some reason, thoughts of creamsicles entered my mind, but it's perfect for extinguishing mouth-fires on contact.
You Have to Start Somewhere
As the saying goes, "everyone has to start somewhere." This past Friday, after a long week of absolutely gorgeous weather here on the Eastern Seaboard, I was thinking that this would be a great way to officially start the weekend:
Living lovely on the deck.
I do have to say, I love…LOVES me some caviar!! Now, now… I know what you're thinking, but to be completely honest with you, this is just some tasty and cheap roe that gets the job done for my tuna fish wallet.
This simple slice of Icelandic heaven consists:
- Table Water Crackers
- Cream Cheese
- Cheap Caviar
- Add in some fresh mozzarella balls on the side, and you've got yourself a Friday night party on the deck!
To celebrate this beautiful Eastern Spring evening and appetizer, I thought I'd lock lips with a few east coast sparklers: two exquisite bottles of bubbly from New York's Dr. Frank Wine Cellars.
Pioneered by Dr. Konstantin Frank, this Finger Lakes winery has earned a reputation for producing outstanding Rieslings and sparkling wines that adhere to the classic French "methode champenoise."
The first was the Chateau Frank Blanc de Blancs (2006) (Sample, MSRP: $29.99 US).
This sparkling wine is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, and was aged for more than three years before its release. When my wife and I released it into our glasses this past Friday night, it was like a fruit pie being swept up into a twister of teeny-tiny bubbles: rich and toasty with notes of pear and ginger. Absolutely delicious from start to finish! Highly recommended with a little (or a lot) of my little caviar snack! 4 Stars out of 4 for the Chateau Frank Blanc de Blancs.
Our second sparkler was the Chateau Frank Célèbre Rosé (NV) (Sample, MSRP: $20.99 US).
Unlike the rich, big mouthful style of the Blanc de Blancs, this bubbly is more of an easy-going deck wine to enjoy with family and friends. Made with 100% estate grown Pinot Meunier grapes, it offers an orchard of raspberries and strawberries for those that prefer a sweeter style sparkler. By the second glass, we were longing for a giant piece of pan-seared salmon to go with it! 3 out of 4 for Chateau Frank Célèbre Rosé (NV).
If only every weekend could start out this way!
Keepin' It Light
I gotta a fever, I tell you. Spring Fever! It's been one terrific week of warm temperatures in my neck of the woods; and I'm soooooo ready for Spring to arrive. However, there's one (not so) little thing that needs to be addressed before I break out my Speedo bathing suit. Ewww…whah wa!?? I kid…I kid, but I do need to do something about the old waistline before the hot weather arrives.
Sauvignon Blanc is just the wine to slice away those pounds! Okay, so maybe this isn't exactly true, but it's those Sauvignon Blancs that are bursting at the seams with intense acidity, massive grapefruit, lemon-lime and grassy flavors that make me want to eat lighter, simple meals. Which is precisely what I need right now!
The 2010 William Cole Columbine Special Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Sample, MSRP: $15 US) from Chile's Casablanca Valley, is full of that in-your-face high acidity rush that I love about Sauvignon Blanc. It's packed with intense grapefruit, lemon, lime and touch of peach on the finish. Oh yeah – it's also got some of that grassy, herbaceous component that makes you think that it might be from New Zealand rather than Chile.
3 Stars out of 4 for the 2010 William Cole Columbine Special Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. It makes you crave the healthy stuff!
Don't Call It A Comeback
Well, how you doin'? I know, I know…it's been forever since my last post. I could provide you with a host of excuses for my mysterious disappearance - some interesting and others not so interesting – but what's the point? Let's move on and talk about LOVE! What about it, you ask??
The simple truth of the matter is that I've fallen in L-O-V-E: not with one, but with 2 very special things since the start of 2012.
I'll describe my first love of 2012 as restoration from devastation. After 15 years with our beloved cats, they both passed away within weeks of one another at the end of 2011. Noodle, our terrific alley cat who loved Fancy Dinner Friday and a big old plate of spaghetti and meatballs, passed away just before Thanksgiving. Then to our complete shock (just a few weeks later) Noodle's housemate and our soft and cuddly roomie, Church (who bore a striking resemblance to the cat from Pet Sematery), also passed away. We bawled and then bawled some more all the way through the holidays.
Shortly after the first of the year, my kids pulled me aside to ask the question, "Dad, can we have another pet?" "What do you have in mind…a kitten…a litter of kittens?" I asked. "No. Can we have a DOG this time?" I did what every good father would do in this instance: I turned to them and said, "Umm…I dunno, talk to your mother."
A few mornings later, as we were waking up, my wife asked, "Can we get the kids a dog?"
I couldn't believe it?! They got to her. The person who said that we would NEVER have another pet. BRAINWASHED. My immediate response: "Are YOU going to get up at 4:30 in the morning to take it out?" As far as she was concerned, that was the end of the conversation.
Later that day, something came over me and I thought to myself that it wouldn't hurt to check out some cute dogs on Petfinder.com. I sent my wife a couple links of some cute dogs, and that was the end of it: A Mom's love for her boys kicked into full gear.
It sure didn't take her very long to track down the cutest, sweetest little doggie in the whole wide world to join our family and fill that open void in our hearts. Nothing like gushing and being a proud new daddy (and all it took was a little coaxing )…
Meet the newest addition to our family, Billie.
Look at that cutie!
We adopted Billie from Paula's Dog House, a dog rescue in Mount Olive, NJ. She was aptly named by the people at the rescue: she has the cutest underbite that sort of makes her look like a little billy goat. We're not quite sure what breed she is, but whatever she is there might be some bunny rabbit mixed in since she loves to hop up and down the stairs! What else can I say – she's adorable, super friendly, and a great new addition to our family! Something tells me that you'll be seeing and hearing a lot more about Billie.
Not a pet person? Well I have another true love that has recently entered my life. The second love is a kitchen super-tool that every aspiring master or top chef needs: a pressure cooker!!
After watching countless episodes of cooking shows last year, I decided that I needed to take my Poor Man's Chef Creations to a whole new level. I became infatuated with pressure cookers and begged my wife and friends for one of these nifty kitchen devices. So what makes a pressure cooker so damn great you ask? Well, imagine cooking something in an hour (or less!) that would take a crockpot/slow cooker all day.
Ask and you shall receive! The pressure cooker that I received as a gift was the Fagor Futuro 10-Qt. Stovetop Pressure Cooker. One word for you – AMAZING!!
It's even inspired my wife to get down, MasterChef Style! It's dishes like this one that make us want to use it nearly every night of the week. Chicken Adobo!
Here's a link to the recipe.
I decided to give our chicken adobo dish a go with two different wines: the 2010 Morro Bay Split Oak Vineyard Sur Lie Chardonnay from California (Sample, MSRP: $11 US) and the 2009 Los Vascos Grande Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile (Sample, MSRP: $16 US). I figured the sweetness of the molasses would be a good fit for a Chardonnay. Why the Cabernet Sauvignon? Well…just because I was feelin' Cabernet.
Brimming with tropical fruits such as fig, papaya and pineapples, the 2010 Morro Bay Split Oak Vineyard Sur Lie Chardonnay had bright acidity with a touch of sweet spices that was a perfect complement to this chicken adobo recipe.
3 Stars out of 4 for the 2010 Morro Bay Split Oak Vineyard Sur Lie Chardonnay. Not oaky in the least – it worked perfectly with this chicken dish, but would have been just as enjoyable all by itself.
For the red wine, I opted for the 2009 Los Vascos Grande Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon for no other reason besides wanting a Cabernet – you know how that goes.
I've reviewed several Los Vascos wines before and have found them to be reliable, go-to wines. However, there was something different about the 2009 Los Vascos Grande Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. It was the first Cabernet Sauvignon that I've tasted from Los Vascos that teetered a little too much (for me) into that juicy-sweet New World style. The 2009 Los Vascos Grande Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon delivers a sweet flow of cherries, blackberries, cinnamon and chocolate flavors from start to finish.
2 Stars out of 4 for the 2009 Los Vascos Grande Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. I tasted this Cab over the course of three days with similar results: it made me want to search through cabinets looking for the half-eaten Whitman's Sampler that was leftover from the holidays.
Here's to great new beginnings!

Nov. 7, 2007
PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - It started out a little scary for the Hawk faithful as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) trailed 34-26 at half time to Elizabeth City State University (ECSU). It didn't last too long however as UMES got it together in the second frame to move on to a 68-57 win over Head Coach Fred Batchelor's former team.
"UMES has a better coach today because of my time with the Lady Vikings," said Batchelor. "But I wasn't going to go giving them a win over us. They have stepped up their program since I was there, so this is a good win, they had 21 victories last year"
The Lady Hawks certainly didn't have thoughts of giving anything to ECSU. They clawed back from a first half that saw Celeste Trahan of ECSU score 17 points. UMES countered with April McBride (New Rochelle, N.Y./New Rochelle H.S.) who had 14 at the break and finished with an impressive 21 for the game.
Batchelor made adjustments and the Vikings couldn't find an answer for the Hawks tenacious defense that stifled Trahan holding her to just four second half points. UMES also made second half adjustments offensively. Jessica Ayilola (Brooklyn, N.Y./Robert Morris Univ.) finished the game with a dominating 14 points, only two coming in the first frame, all 14 in the paint. Tiffany Reid (Philadelphia, Pa./National Christian Academy) was the Hawks' third leading scorer with nine. She saw her first action since the 2005-2006 season.
The Lady Hawks also depended on freshmen a lot in the game, as they will for the season. Casey Morton (Mardela Springs, Md./Mardela H.S.) started the game at the point and finished with seven points while Josephine McLane (Centreville, Va./Westfield H.S.) entered as substitute and had eight points on three of eight shooting, including two from behind the arc.
"With a lot of freshmen, and all six played tonight, we will take some time to get comfortable, gain confidence and compete consistently," said Batchelor. "I think you saw that tonight. However, it is also great, we are deep this year. We have a number of kids we can go to. I am comfortable with freshmen on the floor in bunches," he added. "I am really pleased with all the new kids."
Cheniece Arthur was the only other player in double figures for ECSU. She had 13 points. Trahan led all rebounders with 12, giving her a double double on the night.
UMES opens regular season play on Saturday with a non-conference contest against MEAC rival Morgan State. The Lady Bears come to the Hytche Center for a 4 p.m. tip-off on the 10th.

On Oct. 30, the Florida State University Board of Trustees met to discuss various agenda items and hear reports from several parts of the University.
First up was the Presidents report. President Barron began by recognizing a few faculty members and new staff in his office.
Gary Ostrander was named the new Vice President of Research two weeks ago. He came from the University of Hawaii where he helped move the research agenda and external funding of the university to new heights.
David Coburn was named Special Assistant to the President.
Barron reiterated several of his points and statistics from his State of the University Address on Oct. 24.
FSUs quality ranking among all of the universities in the country is No. 97 and No. 42 among all public institutions, but their financial resources have slipped from No. 204 to No. 212.
The rank of No. 42 is the highest FSU has seen in over a dozen years.
Barron went on to talk about one of the universitys new goals to try to track careers of graduated students.
We are trying to build a team that crosses the entire university that lets us know what our students are doing but also helping them by creating more extensive networks with our alumni, many of whom may end up employing our students, said Barron.
Barron made note that the University has its first balanced budget since 2007 and that they hired more faculty than they lost for the first time in several years.
The next topic Barron covered was the Universitys Big Ideas, a booklet circulated around campus and to potential donors that has all of FSUs ideas they would like to make part of the University.
You cant raise money on your smile, you can raise a certain amount because people love you, but you have to have a vision that people see and they appreciate and that they want to support that vision, said Barron.
After Barrons report, the Trustees welcomed Gary Tyson from the Faculty Senate Steering Committee.
Tyson briefly spoke to support the changes in administration of the faculty deans office, the development of the Universitys interdisciplinary learning and a structure for distance learning courses a the FSU.
Models that work for getting an MBA online may not work well for students who are new to university education, said Tyson. So what works for a student that already has a B.A. or B.S. may not be what you want to do for incoming freshmen.
The Faculty Senate is also working with state legislature to change liberal studies requirements.
Next up was SGA Vice President Kathryn Porwoll.
Porwoll reported on the Transfer Leadership Institutes success, the Fourth Freshmen Leadership Institutes involvement in Homecoming, the progress the Stokes/Porwoll administration has made regarding disability awareness, the Office of Governmental Affairs event hosted at the Capitol uniting FAMU and FSU Senate and the success of Homecoming 2012.
In closing, Rueben and I recognize that our term is at the midway point now, but we are no less energized, said Porwoll. New projects are emerging to ensure we serve students to the best of our ability.
The meeting went on with an update on athletic success from Randy Spetman.
Trustees approved the sale of a 7.1 acre space for housing. The new dorm will be built specifically for athletics and is expected to house freshmen football players next fall.
The facility will house 49 percent student-athletes and will be located on Bellevue Way and Hayden Road.

Now that the Christmas shopping rush is officially heading into full swing, here's my take on the
beauty scene, and the best buys for this season. I have organized each section, by price, with the
help of BeautySets, (polyvore for makeup). When I give gifts involving beauty products, unless it's
something very specific off a wish list, I try to go for as much visual impact as I can. Cosmetics are
so small, it can wind up looking like a lame gift, even if it was pricey.
I tend to go for gift sets and baskets, and I often make my own.
Here's some help to get you started this holiday season.
In clockwise order, we've got
- Sephora by OPI Good Tidings We Bling ($10) - a festive Christmas nail polish packed with red,
green and gold glitter.
- Sephora Collection Houndstooth Mirror ($10) - part of their set of tools and cases in this chic houndstooth pattern
- Sephora Nail Art Set ($10) - perfect for someone who's packed their pinterest boards with nail
art inspiration.
- philosophy lip shine in Cinnamon Buns ($10) - one of the yummiest scents philosophy puts out,
and a very safe bet, because it's universally appealing and the color is sheer.
- Bath and Body Works Pocket Bacs ($1.50, often on sale for $1) - the ultimate stocking stuffer
in my opinion, they're inexpensive, cute, practical, and easy to stock up on.
- boscia Pink Peppermint Blogging Linens ($5) - a cheap, but unique extra to tack onto a larger
gift involving cosmetics.
- Sephora Collection Gloss Lab ($25) - A $100 value of lipgloss! Any girly girl would love this,
- because we're all genetically hardwired to need 80,000 different colors of lip gloss.
- Sephora Houndstooth Standing Brush Set ($25) - a great value set of brushes for someone who
- still uses those sponge tipped applicators that came with their eyeshadow.
- Too Faced Suddenly Sexy Set ($25) - a great set with a little of everything. I would love this for
- a teen, who is just starting to get into makeup.
- SEPHORA + PANTONE UNIVERSE® Opulent Lacquer Trio ($18) - a great little nail polish set for a reasonable price. They have sets of silver, red, gold and black, but obviously I'm partial to the
silver, a perfect winter nail color, and a staple for New Years Eve.
- philosophy Sweet Rendezvous Set ($25) - a lovely set of three unique and yummy body washes from philosophy. Pistachio Cherry Macaroon, Creme Brulee, and Black Currant Tart, oh my!
- 21 Drops Pick up Fix Set ($14.50) - a unique gift, a set of four aromatherapy oils, Uplift, Calm, Sleep and Willpower, all made to be purse and travel friendly. These are apparently not perfumes, but oils you can apply that are designed to aid the purpose after which they're named.
- Bath and Body Works Splish Splash Gift Set in Twisted Peppermint ($32.50) - I love B&BW sets, they're packaged adorably, and Twisted Peppermint is my favorite seasonal scent out there.
- Laura Mercier Artist Palette for Eyes ($48) - a beautiful alternative to the Naked palettes, wearable colors, BUT as it's got half mattes (!) and half shimmers, even more appropriate for someone a bit more mature.
- Sephora by OPI Tinseltown Colletor's Set ($49.50) -a big nail polish set with 16 minis and 1 full size glitter top coat. While I always lament the size of the Sephora by OPI mini bottles, how many of us EVER finish a nail polish? If you have, I'm pretty sure you're a unicorn.
- Tarte Five Piece Lipsurgence Set Collector's Set ($34) - Tarte friggin BROUGHT IT this holiday season with their value/gift sets. It was really hard work to not have this whole post be just entirely Tarte products.
- Dior New Look Set ($28.50) - this upscale, but reasonably priced set comes with the 5 eyeshadow palette in Royal Khaki, and Dior New Look mascara. This is best for someone with whom the Dior brand name will resonate, because it's not as big and bad as the other sets.
- bareMinerals The Star Treatment ($40) - I love bareMinerals pressed eyeshadow palettes, and I think these colors are a great contrast to the Laura Mercier palette, because this has more warm tones, but is still a departure from the Naked overload I'm personally experiencing (although I own and love both palettes-there are other ones out there!!)
- Sephora Collector's Edition Fragrance Sampler For Her ($75) - I've raved about this before, and this is the only fragrance set I would purchase for someone unless it was from a wish list. Perfume is so personal and you never know someone's taste! The only person I think I've ever bought perfume that wasn't a replacement of their favorite or from a wish list is for my mom, and I've known her for just a little while, so I know what she likes. I love this set because it has 10 bestselling fragrances in large sample sizes, with a gift certificate to receive a full size of your favorite fragrance from the set. To me, this set is IDEAL for gift giving.
- Make Up For Ever All Eyes on You Set ($59) - another great all in one, with an Aqua Cream, some Aqua Eyes liners, a Smoky Lash mascara and of course, a pot of HD powder.
- Sephora Embossed Train Case in Black Houndstooth ($55 for mini, $110 for full size) - Can you tell I dig houndstooth? Sephora train cases are fabulous, sturdy and well built, and this embossed pattern just makes me drool all over my keyboard. Storage solutions are always better when they're FRIGGIN ADORABLE.
- Sephora Collector's Edition Premium I.T. Brush Set ($68) - Another great value, with all the individual brushes running you $220. The I.T. brushes are stellar, and if you know someone who is beauty obsessed, you cannot go wrong with this brush set.
- Tarte Carried Away Collector's Set ($54) - One of the most comprehensive sets I've ever seen, with a blush, face powder, large brush, 24 eyeshadows, 8 glosses, a mascara, and an exotically patterned case that holds everything, what more could you ask for? I purchased this for a good friend of mine and she is still raving about it! $54 is not cheap, but for all you get in this set, I think it's VERY well worth it.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and happy shopping! :)

ASU SOFTBALL: 4 Rambelles earn all-region honors
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Angelo State's Darian Dunn, Micherie Koria, Morgan Spearman and Kenedy Urbany were selected to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association 2014 NCAA Division II South Central All-Region team, announced Thursday.
The Rambelles were one of five teams with at least four first-team selections. The NFCA All-Region selections were made by member coaches. All first-team honorees are now eligible for selection to one of three NFCA Division II All-American squads, which will be announced May 21.
Spearman, the LSC Player of the Year, scored 80 runs to break the ASU and LSC single-season records. It was the fifth-most runs scored in a season in NCAA Division II history.
The senior hit .506 with 19 doubles and 10 home runs. She drew 47 walks and stole 20 bases. Spearman was the D-II leader in on-base percentage at .622, which also is an ASU record. The Kennedale native finished her career as ASU's career leader in on-base percentage (.522) and walks (126).
It is the second straight season the senior has been named to the NFCA All-Region team. Spearman also was named to the Daktronics Softball South Central All-Region team earlier this week.
Dunn was selected to the NFCA All-Region team for the first time in her career as a utility player. The sophomore led the nation with 1.72 RBIs per game. Her 95 RBIs were an ASU and LSC record, as well as the fifth-most in D-II history.
The Frisco native had a .411 average with 13 doubles and 17 HRs. Dunn played third base, first base and in the outfield.
Koria is also a first-time honoree. The junior was second on the team with a .424 batting average while also playing second base. She had nine doubles and scored 61 runs. She drew 22 walks and had a team-high 29 stolen bases. The San Diego native finished with a .529 on-base percentage.
Urbany was selected as a utility player/pitcher. The freshman hit .338 with 10 doubles and nine HRs. She had 43 RBIs and scored 33 runs. The Helotes native drew 29 walks and had a .420 on-base percentage. In the circle, she went 21-4 with a 3.40 earned-run average.

BY EDDIE DILWORTH STAFFAfter missing the previous three games while recovering from a concussion, Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving said he was fresh for Wednesday night's matchup with the Indiana Pacers.
A fresh Irving spelled a stale night for the Pacers as the Cavs manhandled Indiana, 98-87 in Quicken Loans Arena.
"I'm 100 percent and it doesn't mean because I had a prior concussion that my game is going to change in any way," Irving said. "Same aggressiveness, that's all."
Irving suffered the concussion during the fourth quarter of the Cavaliers game at Miami on Feb. 7 when he fell to the floor and the back of his head collided with Dwayne Wade's knee. The Cavs went 1-2 in Irving's absence and fans in The Q were surely excited to see the front-runner for NBA Rookie of the Year on the floor again.
Irving showed no signs of rust Wednesday. His 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the first quarter sparked the Cavs to a 32-20 lead at the end of the period. Irving spun around defenders, welcomed contact as he drove to the basket and showed no lasting effects from his concussion.
"We've always known from day one that he has no fear," Scott said. "It wasn't surprising to me that his first shot was going to be an aggressive, attack the hole type shot, so I wasn't surprised at all. It was just good to see him back out there on the floor playing the way we know he's capable of playing."
Irving finished with 22 points, five assists and three rebounds. Despite Anderson Varejao's likelihood to miss significant time with a fractured wrist, Irving doesn't feel that more pressure is heaped on his shoulders with Varejao out.
"Obviously we don't wish an injury upon anybody, but (with) Andy going down, it gives everybody else an opportunity to step up, along with myself," Irving said.
After Irving's solid first quarter, the Cavs stretched their 12-point first quarter lead in the second. Cleveland started the second quarter on a 6-2 run and were only getting started. When Antawn Jamison converted a layup with 8:11 remaining until halftime, the Cavs took a 43-23 lead and never looked back.
"It was probably one of the better halves we've had on both ends of the floor," Scott said.
Cavs center Semih Erden drew his second consecutive start in place of Varejao and produced his best game as a pro. Erden finished with a career-high 18 points and a season-high eight rebounds.
"Semih played with the energy we've been talking about and just played a lot more efficient on the offensive and the defensive end," Scott said.
After a dissapointing effort against Philadelphia on Saturday in which he did not score, Erden could have fallen out of favor with the Cavs head coach. But Scott said he would give Erden another shot because he thought Erden's matchup with 7-foot-2 Indiana center Roy Hibbert was favorable.
"I think it was a result of them moving the basketball really well," Pacers head coach Frank Vogel said on Erden's performance. "Irving got him involved with a lot of stuff and our coverage on pick and rolls wasn't that strong."
Cavs guard Daniel Gibson left the game in the third quarter with a left ankle sprain after landing on Pacers guard Paul George's foot following a 3-point attempt. He did not return and finished with eight points and three assists. X-rays on his ankle were negative.
Indiana never led in the contest and seemed to be lost from the start without leading scorer Danny Granger. Granger tested his sprained left ankle just before the game, but he was ultimately unable to take the floor against Cleveland. In Granger's absence, the Pacers shot just 30 percent in the first half and recorded only two assists as a team before halftime.
Pacers guard Darren Collison led Indiana with 18 points. Hibbert added 17 points and eight rebounds to Indiana's cause, but Irving shined the brightest Wednesday.
"To see Kyrie come out there, it didn't look like he missed a beat," Scott said. "(He) just looked really fresh and rejuvenated."
Indiana cut the lead to single digits in the fourth quarter, but were never really in the contest after the first quarter.
"Give credit to Cleveland for playing a better game than we did tonight," Vogel said. "Kyrie Irving was terrific."

"Made it with 2+ lb corned beef; 1/2 carrots & potatoes(used red small & cut some in half); used full amounts for horseradish sauce. Made it St. Pats day. It was delicious and a lot of fun for my husband & I making it. Will do it again & use a larger piece of corned beef."
