Russia, excluding the Kaliningrad Oblast (an isolated Russian region separated from Russia proper), borders on 12 countries. Counterclockwise from the south they are North Korea, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, and Norway. Kaliningrad is bounded by the Baltic Sea, Lithuania, and Poland.
Two characteristics of Russia's physical geography stand out above all others. The first is the country's great size; occupying nearly all of northern Eurasia, Russia is the world's largest country. With an area of 6,592,850 square miles (17,075,400 km2), it is nearly the size of the continent of South America and almost twice the size of the United States. Russia extends eastward from the Gulf of Finland about 5,000 miles (8,000 km) to the Bering Sea—a span so wide that it includes 11 of the world's 24 time zones. From the Arctic Ocean in the north, Russia stretches southward over distances ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 miles (2,400 to 4,000 km).
The second outstanding characteristic of Russia is its extreme northern location. Most of the country is within the same latitudes as Alaska and Canada; St. Petersburg, for example, is about as far north as Anchorage, Alaska. The northern location is a major reason for the severely cold climate prevailing over most of the country, sharply limiting the crop growing season and locking seaports in ice for months at a time.
In the most general terms, Russia consists largely of flat to rolling plains with plateaus and mountainous regions in the west-central, eastern, and most of the southern parts of the country. For simplification, Russia may be divided into two large regions: European Russia and Siberia.
European Russia consists of the western part of the country up to and including the western face of the Ural Mountains. Although it occupies slightly less than a quarter of the country's total area, it contains most of the people and industry. This single region is a little more than half the size of the continental United States.
Except for the Urals in the east and the Caucasus Mountains in the southwest, European Russia consists principally of the eastern section of the Great European Plain. This area is sometimes called the East European Plain. In Russia it spreads from the Arctic coast to the Black Sea. The plain rises slowly towards the Urals in the east. Much of the surface is gently rolling.
Several upland areas break the otherwise monotonous surface. Most of these areas consist of low, rounded hills whose tops do not exceed 1,300 feet (400 m). Northwest of Moscow are the Valday Hills and the Smolensk-Moscow Ridge. Europe's longest river, the Volga, begins in this region. Other major rivers that originate here are the Dnieper and the Western Dvina. Beginning west of Moscow and extending south-southeast to Ukraine's eastern border are the Central Russian Uplands. From here flow the Don, the Donets, and other major rivers. To the east, along the Volga's middle course, are the Volga Uplands, whose narrow southern end separates the Volga and Don rivers by less than 50 miles (80 km).
To the south of the Volga Uplands, lying along the northwest shore of the Caspian Sea, is a region that is part of the Caspian Depression. Here land gradually drops to about 90 feet (2 7 m) below sea level.
Between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea are the Caucasus Mountains. They mark the southern boundary of the East European Plain and form a high, nearly unbroken barrier to the lands beyond, which are sometimes known as Transcaucasia. In the western Caucasus rises Europe's loftiest peak, Elbrus, reaching 18,510 feet (5,642 m) above sea level.
Along the plain's eastern edge are the Ural Mountains, often considered part of the Europe-Asia boundary. The Urals are much less a barrier than the Caucasus; only in the northern and southern sections do peaks rise as high as 4,000 to 6,000 feet (1,200 to 1,800 m). The middle Urals are little more than low hills. The only other significant elevations in European Russia occur on the Kola Peninsula, where the Khibiny Mountains rise up to more than 3,900 feet (1,190 m).
Siberia extends eastward from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean. Siberia's southwestern limits are indefinite, but often are considered to be at about 50° N. latitude.
Western Siberia, between the Urals and the Yenisey River, consists mainly of the West Siberian Lowland, a vast, extremely flat area crossed by winding, sluggish rivers. Much of the land in the central section is swampy, especially between the Ob and Irtysh rivers. To the south are scattered uplands and the Altai Mountains, which reach more than 14,000 feet (4,300 m).
Central Siberia is chiefly an upland region and lies within the area drained by the Yenisey and Lena rivers. In the north is the Central Siberian Plateau, an eroded tableland whose surface rarely exceeds elevations of about 3,000 feet (900 m). The plateau gives way to lowlands along the Arctic coast, except on the Taymyr Peninsula, which rises more than 3,700 feet (1,100 m) above sea level. In the extreme south, high mountains lie near the Mongolian border. Highest are the Sayan Mountains, which exceed 11,000 feet (3,400 m) and contain most of the Yenisey River's headstreams. East of Lake Baykal, which lies in a deep fault between steep mountain slopes, is a complex group of ranges. These extend in a southwest-northeast direction and include the Yablonovyy Range.
Eastern Siberia—the land between the Lena River and the Pacific Ocean—is almost entirely mountainous. Paralleling the lower Lena is the Verkhoyansk Range; just to the east is the higher Cherskiy Range, rising to more than 10,000 feet (3,000 m). Lesser ranges spread across the extreme northeast and down the Kamchatka Peninsula, where there are numerous active volcanoes, including towering Klyuchevskaya Sopka, which at 15,584 feet (4,750 m) is the highest peak in Siberia. Other mountain systems of eastern Siberia are the Stanovoy Range between the Lena and Amur rivers, and the Sikhote Alin Range facing the Pacific coast. Across the Tatar Strait is Sakhalin, the largest island in Russia.
Off Russia's Arctic coast are several island groups that are within neither Siberia nor European Russia. Between the Barents and Kara seas lies Novaya Zemlya ("new land"), the largest group, occupying some 35,000 square miles (91,000 km2). Farther north is ice-covered Franz Josef Land, an uninhabited group of about 85 islands. Severnaya Zemlya ("northern land") is another group of islands, off the Taymyr Peninsula, and to the east across the Laptev Sea are the New Siberian Islands. Smaller islands are scattered through the Chukchi Sea and Bering Strait.
Russia is a land of mighty rivers. Some of the rivers are historically important in the settlement and growth of the country, and many are of great economic significance. Linked by interconnecting canals and waterways, rivers provide vital avenues of inland shipping. They are also used to generate large amounts of electric power, to float logs to mills, and for commercial fishing.
The largest rivers are in Siberia. Among these are the three giants—the Ob, Yenisey, and Lena, all of which flow northward into seas of the Arctic Ocean. Other large rivers include the Kolyma and the Indigirka, which also flow into Arctic waters, and the Amur, which flows to the Pacific.
The rivers of European Russia, though generally smaller than those of Siberia, are of greater economic importance. Among these are the Neva, which empties into an arm of the Baltic Sea; the Northern Dvina and the Pechora, which flow northward to seas of the Arctic Ocean; the Volga, which empties into the Caspian Sea; and the Don, which flows southward to the Sea of Azov, an arm of the Black Sea.
Most of the major rivers have huge drainage basins and are of great length. The Lena, Ob, Volga, and Yenisey river systems all exceed 2,000 miles (3,200 km) in length. Nearly all the rivers have courses sloping gently to the sea, and the flow of water is usually sluggish. In winter nearly all rivers freeze—the length of freeze varying from 1 to 2 months near the Black Sea to 6 to 10 months above the Arctic Circle. Extensive flooding occurs in the Arctic during the spring thaw, when water from melting ice and snow in the south is blocked by frozen channels in the north.
Russia has thousands of lakes, most of which are in the northern glaciated section. The country's largest lakes and seas, however, are in the south. The Caspian Sea, which is shared with Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan, is the world's largest lake, covering 143,200 square miles (371,000 km2). By volume of water, however, the largest lake in Russia—and in the world—is Lake Baykal, in south-central Siberia. It contains more water than all of the Great Lakes combined. Other important inland bodies of water include the Black Sea (shared with Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine), and Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega in the northwest. There are also numerous large reservoirs.
Most of Russia, being far north and away from the tempering influence of the ocean, has a severe continental type of climate; the country is greatly affected by the intense heating of the Eurasian landmass in summer and by the extreme cooling of the landmass in winter. With few exceptions the climate is marked by long, bitterly cold winters; short, warm to hot summers; and little annual precipitation.
In winter, cold air settles in central Siberia, causing icy blasts of air to move out over much of Europe and Asia. Winters become colder from the southwest to the northeast. The average January temperature at Sochi, in the southwest, is about 43° F. (6° C); at Verkhoyansk, in the northeast, about —58° F. (-50° C.) Temperatures lower than -90° F. (—68° C.) have been recorded in several places in the northeastern part of the country. Because of this extreme cold, the land is permanently frozen beneath the surface in the north. The frozen ground forms a layer called permafrost.
Summers range from warm to hot. Even as far north as the Arctic Circle temperatures reach 80° F. to 90° F. (2 7° C. to 32° C.) for short periods. Yakutsk (62° N. latitude) has a record of 102° F. (39° C.). Summers become hotter from north to south. The average July temperature at Archangel, in the north on the shore of the cold White Sea, is about 59° F. (15° C.); at Krasnodar in the south, 73° F. (23° C.). Spring and autumn are short throughout Russia.
Russia's precipitation comes mainly in the summer and is scanty nearly everywhere. Only in some of the southern and eastern mountains does the precipitation exceed 40 inches (1,000 mm) a year. European Russia receives about 16 to 24 inches (400 to 600 mm), except for part of the Arctic coast and the steppes of the southwest, which generally receive less than 16 inches (400 mm). Most of Siberia receives 8 to 16 inches (200 to 400 mm). Except in the far north and the mountains, snow accounts for only a small part of the yearly precipitation. In most of the country,' because of the constantly low winter temperatures, the snow remains on the ground for more than half the year.
The only subtropical region of Russia is near the Black Sea, which experiences balmy temperatures and receives more than 80 inches (2,000 mm) of precipitation a year. The Pacific coast has a monsoon-type climate with dry, cold winters and rainy, hot summers.

Jazz musicians have, from the start, tried to evoke other sounds with their instruments: a train, a thunderstorm, a human voice. . . Computers have only made the practice easier. Trumpet player Peter Evans continues the tradition in a very 21st-century way. His quintet, comprising the classic piano, bass and drums, also includes a member on live electronics, processing the instruments in real time, improvising in a way that Charlie Parker could only have dreamed.
This is to say, don't come to this one expecting to hear tunes from the Great American Songbook. The group's take on standards is anything but. When he's not leading his jazz group, Evans also performs contemporary classical music and electro-acoustic music, and has collaborated with members of rock bands the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Hella.
Peter Evans Quintet will perform at EMPAC (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy) tomorrow (Friday, March 29) at 8 PM. Tickets are $18. Call 276-3921 for more info.


text: Right now I am a recreational rider, but want to take the next step into racing. I plan on joining a bunch of group rides until I feel comfortable enough to enter a race. One of my main concerns is that I have what would almost be considered a sweating dysfunction. I have never met anyone anywhere that sweats as much as I do. On a warm day I can go through close to 5 liters of water on a 40 mile ride. On a hot, humid day, 5 liters is not enough. I teach a one hour spin class once a week. I drink a liter and a half during the class and close to a liter right after, and I still will be down up to 5 or 6 pounds of water weight. This poses several problems; I get dehydrated very easily obviously and I lose huge amounts of electrolytes which can lead to easy cramping. Will this prevent me from racing? Is there something I can do help the problem? My fear is that I will run out of water during a race and have to stop as this has happened to me on solo rides.

I have posted several times about shopping at drugstores such as Walgreens and CVS. The sale prices at both stores run from Sunday thru Saturday. The flyers can be found in most Sunday newspapers and on their websites. There are many blogs that list deals that can be found at the stores each week and any coupons that may be available. One of these is Money Saving Mom.
I recently received an email with the total I saved from April 2012 thru April 2013. I purchase most of my Health & Beauty items, some groceries and many other items at CVS. I also purchase gift cards and other gift items and they count towards my quarterly spending. This amount can be saved just by having an ExtraCare Card.
You can register for the ExtraCare card for free and get sale prices on certain items each week. In addition, they offer ExtraCare Bucks (ECB) on certain items each week, which are coupons for a certain amount to use on a future purchase within a month. Many cases, the ECB is the same as what you are paying for the item. So if you use the ECB on another purchase, it is like getting the original item for free. If you have a manufacturer coupon for the item you could "make" money on it.
ExtraBucks Rewards:
Quarterly Rewards $83.56
Weekly Ad Items $350.31
Beauty Club $10.00
Sale Price Savings
(From using ExtraCare card)$955.35
ExtraCare Coupon Center $23.75
Exclusive Coupons $254.66
Total Savings & Rewards $1,677.57
This is one way I have found to save money of items I need. I shop for most of the items I need at the drugstores and grocery stores instead of going to WalMart, Target and other stores.

Deliver faster and more reliable service, free up critical resources, and help reduce costs.
Successfully managing multiple sites and an array of faculty, staff, and student needs is becoming increasingly difficult as budgets decrease and equipment and facilities age. With virtualization, you can help reduce your technology costs, increase efficiency, and adapt quickly and automatically to changing requirements.
Microsoft virtualization solutions give you:
All of the products and technologies used in Microsoft virtualization solutions have a common, policy-based management system that helps to ease the burden on your system managers.
Traditionally, all layers of computing environments, hardware, operating systems, applications, and storage, were static, configured to interact properly and to support a specific computing solution. Components were installed to particular computers, resulting in a tightly-bound system that often made adapting to change difficult. Creating new capability entailed procuring and configuring the hardware, software, and interfaces which could be costly and time intensive.
Virtualization frees each element of this system from the other. In a virtualized stack, each element is logically isolated and independent. By separating the different layers in the logic stack, you have greater flexibility and more simplified change management because you don't configure each element to get them to work together. Computing components become instantly available. This makes it easier to add, update, and support your infrastructure elements, which creates the foundation for utility computing and a much more nimble organization.
With a comprehensive virtualization strategy you can:

Grizzlies win, Mavericks still don't know first-round playoff opponent
The Dallas Mavericks still don't know if they will play Oklahoma City or San Antonio in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
When Memphis beat the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday night, it meant the Grizzlies still have a mathematical chance to pass the Mavericks. The two teams meet Wednesday at Memphis, which plays at Phoenix on Monday.
If the Mavericks win Wednesday, or the Grizzlies lose at Phoenix, they will be the seventh seed and open the best-of-seven first round at No. 2-seeded Oklahoma City either Saturday or Sunday.
If the Grizzlies win out, the Mavericks will be the eighth seed and play San Antonio.

Kickoff: 7 p.m., today, Vikings Stadium
TV/Radio: Cox 4; KXKW 87.7 FM
Records: CHS 0-1. NHS 0-1.
Last year: CHS, 35-6, won.
Players to Watch: CHS QB Tyler Gaspard; DE Lane Batiste; WR Nick Brooks; RB Colin St. Julien. NHS QB Ethan Rose; RB Paul Sonnier; WR Deion Ben; LB Benny Broussard; DL Willie Washington.
Matchup: After what took place in their season opener last week at Acadiana High, when they were routed 56-6, Northside couldn't wait for the next opportunity to return to the field.
That's because the Vikings believe things can only go up from here on out and that things can't get any worse than they did against the Rams.
"Everything," said Vikings head coach Trev Faulk when asked what must Northside improve on from their game against the Rams if they are to avoid an 0-2 start for the second consecutive season under his guidance. "We must coach better, tackle better, line up correctly, finish in the red zone and not turnover the ball."
Lagniappe: The Vikings must avoid penalties if they are going to record its first win of the season, because although the Rams rushed for more than 400 yards against them, an offsides penalty on 4th and 7 with Northside trailing 21-6 in the second quarter was the turning point in the game. The Rams decided to go for it on 4th and 2 and turned it into a 44 yard run that led to a touchdown to break the game open.

Lovely shot and a little under exposed on my sceen also
but well done

This does look a little underexposed but the problem with simply increasing the exposure or brightening it to rectify it is that the blossoms blend in with the sky behind them.
Checking the levels, this doesn't appear to actually be particularly underexposed. What I think has happened is that the camera has been unable to expose correctly for both the blooms and the (brighter) sky, so it's compromised on both.
I reckon the answer here would have been to use flash to fill in.
Nominating Constructive Critique
jestertheclown- I think you are right - a tiny bit of fill in flash was needed, as the exposure lift is ok, but still not quite right. How about a tiny bit of dodging on the blooms as it's too late to add flash?Last Modified By perkyjude at 25 Aug 2011 - 7:57 AM

Quote: How about a tiny bit of dodging on the blooms as it's too late to add flash?
Yep! That would work if you were careful.
Anoother way would be to select just the flowers and lift them a bit using the shadows/highlights tool. Don't use it on the whole image though as you'll get the same problem as just using levels or brightness.
Easier still, if it's possible, would be to take the shot again.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Yes, you needed flash fill here, and many compacts are quite good at this on auto. Try one with and one without - that is what the LCD is really for - an immediate check! You could improve this with the dodge tool, just to brighten the flowers but be careful not to overdo, or the image goes flat as you kill the contrast.

Quote: Would raising the exposure compensation work just as well?
No. Increasing the exopsure compensation will increase the exposure over the whole image, brightening everything. That's effectively what Frank's done in his mod by adjusting the levels.
What's needed here is to lighten only the flowers, leaving the rest as it is., hence using a flash which would light up the flowers but not the backgrond.
I've uploaded a (very quick) mod. in which I used the lasso to select the flowers. I brightened them using curves (just a straightforward lift of the RGB curve), then inverted my selection (to select the rest of the image, leaving the flowers untouched) and de-saturated it all slightly.
The overall effect is that te flowers have become highlighted and the background more subdued.
You'll see a sharp edge where I made my selection. That's because it was done very quickly just using a single layer. In real life, I'd have made the selection and alterations using more layers and a layer mask which would eliminate the "edge" but hopefully, you'll get the general idea.
Hope this helps.

There are many ways to do things in software. Some easy, some complicated. In order to process the average image and make it better, master just a few very uncomplicated processes first.
The histogram, to correct exposure and contrast. Sharpening tools and dodging and burning in tools. That will do most of the common jobs. Curves, brightness adjustment and other simple tools help. Steer clear of auto correction functions - they rarely get it right.
There are many other things to learn, but I believe any newcomer should master the basics first and feel comfortable with them before moving on.

This is one of the toughest times we've been through in a generation, but it is also one that presents some very good opportunities for those who can stick it out. Those adding equities to their portfolios should start with oil producers. Many are trading at low price/earnings ratios and will present good value when business activity picks up again. Anadarko (59, APC) is an explorer and producer whose trailing multiple of 29 is the result of one-time charges; it's going for 9 times likely 2009 earnings. Chesapeake Energy (44, CHK) is a natural gas producer with a trailing multiple of 12. ConocoPhillips (78, COP) is an integrated giant. It goes for 7 times earnings and yields 2.4%.
Metals and industrial commodities have also been knocked down sharply by fears of prolonged recession. Two I like are BHP Billiton (63, BHP), which trades at 11 times trailing results and yields 3%, and Freeport-McMoran (80, FCX), with a P/E of 9 and a yield of 2%. Finally, two more good values at current prices: United Technologies (67, UTX), trading at 14 times earnings and yielding 1.9%, and Lockheed Martin (115, LMT), at 15 times earnings and yielding 1.4%.

Ironport has a list, updated daily, of the top spam sources from around the world. I meandered on over today to take a look and one thing jumped out at me which I have highlighted below.
If you can't read that, it is IP address 22.214.171.124. The hostname is mail.fiedom.org, and the network owner is ColoGuys.
ColoGuys? What? As in Colorado Guys? Or maybe it's McColo Guys, the guys who ran McColo?
The WHOIS information says that the domain was registered on March 15, 2009 (three days ago). The contact information is protected (usually a bad sign), the admin address is a PO Box and it was registered in a location in The Netherlands.
I'm not saying that this means that these are the same guys who got shut down four months ago, but from where I am sitting and typing, it sure looks suspicious.
PingBack from http://dsecure.net/blog/?p=2364
"Colo" is far too generic a term to make that link with any confidence.
Plus, with very few exceptions, McColo didn't send spam directly - they were just the C&C for the botnets that did.
Tons of it. And they also send scam emails posing as Equifax!
cologuys is colocation/dedicated server provider in dallas, tx
they host servers, they have nothing to do with the spam really
you could send an email to their abuse line to get the source shut down
You should double check things before posting.
The domain last renewed jun-21-2009.
It was registered jul-20-2001.
They are a hosting company that has been around for almost a decade with very little spam reports/complaints as compared to other hosting companies their size.
I know how much you like spam, nothing like having someone tell someone else to spam the innocent so they recieve more!
Are you a spammer ? You are telling people to send mail and scams.

2012 | Press Release
"No children on the Children's Day after 1,000 years due to birthrate declining" - Child Population Web Clock showing birthrate declining in real-time-
A research group led by Professor Hiroshi Yoshida at Graduate School of Economics and Management, Tohoku University has developed and released Child Population Web Clock indicating the rate of child population decline in Japan in real-time, by using open source software. The Web clock has been produced in May 5, regarded as the Children's Day in Japan.
Child Population Web clock: http://mega.econ.tohoku.ac.jp/Children/
(1) As a result, the Prof. Yoshida's research team has estimated that there are 16,620,000 children in Japan as of May 5, 2012, decreasing about 300,000 children from last year and 1,550,000 children (equivalent to the population of Fukuoka City) from 10 years ago.
(2) Child Population Web Clock is showing that the child population is declining by one every 100 seconds. This clock gives us a strong impression that the birthrate in Japan is rapidly declining and effective solutions have to be adopted as soon as possible.
(3) Child Population Web Clock has also revealed that Japan would have only one child in May 3011, about 365,000 days from now. By the next year, therefore, there would be no children in Japan. It can be said that "The Children's Day would no longer come in May 5, 3012."

Inmates forced to give 'favors'Comment on this story
Quito - Two female prison workers have been fired for compelling inmates at the facility to give them massages, officials in Ecuador said on Friday.
The women, employees at a men's prison in the port city of Guayaquil, were found out when security cameras captured one of them reclining, receiving a foot and shoulder massage from an inmate.
The two employees, an educator and a social worker, made a habit of pressing inmates to give them massages, according to officials, who said a wider investigation is underway.
Ledy Zuniga, head of the federal office which oversees Ecuador's prisons, told local television that the practice would not be tolerated as it "compels favors, then leads to corruption."

Question Asked:
Hello, From France. I found a TYC replacement for my turn signal light driver side presented like the original model on my Pontiac Firebird 1993 Base. However turn signal lights actually on my car are not identical. I have photo but it is not possible to join it here. They have a relief convex central part on all the length, of orange color, and I can see a reference on a part of the broken piece (but may be incomplete) : GM 1656923. Can anybody help me and say me where I can find this product, please ? Thank you very much. Best regards.

At the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, Henri Lloyd has won its second Ocean Sprint in a row, securing two extra points ahead of second fastest Derry~Londonderry~Doire and third fastest Old Pulteney.
Kees Garmin
Henri Lloyd skipper Eric Holden sailed the shortest course between the two parallels 340 miles apart to be victorious in a time of 30 hours, 34 minutes. Derry~Londonderry~Doire sailed it in 30 hours, 54 minutes, and Old Pulteney 31 hours four minutes.
With everything still to race for, it is looking like an extremely close finish into Cape Town with just 50 miles separating the top eight yachts.
Great Britain is leading the fleet, followed by Henri Lloyd and Invest Africa.
With four yachts currently in Stealth Mode with their positions hidden and skippers keeping their tactics to themselves, watching the Race Viewer is proving to be very exciting.
Frustrations are being felt though with lighter winds affecting the progress of some of the yachts as the South Atlantic High Pressure system heads further south.
Olly Cotterell, skipper of OneDLL, describes the atmosphere on board.
'This morning we find the fleet as tightly packed as ever. We are making good progress at the moment though it is very tense for me as I am wondering how this ridge of high pressure is developing and whether I will manage to squeeze past it before it becomes a blocking system. I've never checked the barometer quite so much!
'This leg to date has been really good with the crew truly coming together. The old hands took it upon themselves to show the new hands the ropes and the boat has become a finely tuned machine with all the cogs working in unison.'

Wednesday February 19, 2014No. 1 Gators Run Season-Opening Win Streak to 12, Defeat Jacksonville 6-0 in Home Opener
Gainesville, Fla.
Taylore Fuller had two hits and two RBI for Florida in Wednesday's win over Jacksonville.
Gainesville, Fla.
Taylore Fuller had two hits and two RBI for Florida in Wednesday's win over Jacksonville.
The No. 1 Gator Softball team won its home opener Wednesday, defeating Jacksonville University 6-0 on Wednesday night at Katie Seashole Pressly Softball Stadium.
Lauren Haeger (Peoria, Ariz.) pitched a four-hit shutout with no walks and seven strikeouts, improving to 4-0 on the year. The junior also contributed offensively, blasting a two-run home run for her team-leading fifth homer of the year in the fifth inning.
Left fielder Taylore Fuller (Trenton, Fla.) opened the scoring with a leadoff homer in the third, her third home run of the season. First baseman Taylor Schwarz (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.) singled to start the next inning, then advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on an errant JU throw to put the Gators ahead 2-0.
Freshman Justine McLean (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.) hit a two-out single in the fifth, setting up Haegers home run that gave Florida a 4-0 lead. The Orange and Blue then loaded the bases in the sixth on a walk and two singles. Fuller notched her second RBI with a single that plated center fielder Kirsti Merritt (Lake Panasoffkee, Fla.). A sacrifice fly from second baseman Kelsey Stewart (Wichita, Kan.) brought in catcher Aubree Munro (Brea, Calif.) for UFs sixth run to produce the final margin and extend the Gators winning streak to a dozen games to begin the season.
· Munros sixth-inning single extended her career-best hitting streak to 10 games, doubling her previous high.
· Haegers home run pushed her hit streak to eight contests.
· Stewart was hitless in two at-bats, snapping her hitting streak at eight games.
· Haegers shutout lowered her season ERA to 0.78 (3 ER / 27.0 IP).
· The complete game was Haegers third of the year, tying Hannah Rogers for the team lead.
On the Gators win:
I thought we had a lot of good performances. We had some good at-bats, really good defensive plays and obviously a lot of good hitting. Lauren had a two-run homer. Taylore Fuller is getting it going. Really good baserunning by Taylor Schwarz to make some things happen. Overall, I thought there were a lot of bright spots.
On scoring six runs against JU pitcher Victoria Brown:
Thats realistic for us. Six runs, eight hits, and getting a sacrifice bunt and a couple steals, thats a realistically good game, especially facing a good pitcher. She did a good job last year facing us. Shes got multiple pitches. Shes got a rise-ball, she throws a changeup, so shes solid. She came into the game with a sub-1.00 ERA pitching against good teams. Shes definitely good, and the defense behind her made some good plays too.
On which plays made the difference tonight:
To me, it was the second run. Taylor Schwarz getting from first to third on a bunt and scoring on a wild throw, that gives you breathing room. Being able to turn two double plays when they had runners in scoring position and end the threat, end the rally, those to me were the plays of the game.
Sophomore UT Taylore Fuller
On getting two hits from the No. 9 spot in the batting order:
Being at the bottom of the lineup, thats my job, to turn the lineup over and get to our top batters so we can get more [runners] on base and score more. I just did my job for my team. Weve been working really hard, and we were able to get in a groove.
Junior RHP/1B Lauren Haeger
On her performance in the circle tonight:
I think it was okay. I dont think it was my best. I wasnt hitting my spots as well. I think I had a little bit of luck on my side. I felt good, but not the best I could.
On what she wants to improve on during the weekend:
I want to hit my spots a little bit more, be a bit more sharp and work the corners more.
The Gators host the 2014 University of Florida Lipton Invitational this weekend. The action begins Friday (Feb. 21), when Florida will play Troy (4 p.m.) and Indiana (approximately 6:15 p.m.) at Katie Seashole Pressly Softball Stadium. Fans can find live stats via Gametracker on the GatorZone.com schedule page. Radio coverage will be provided by WGGG (1230-AM), with Adam Schick and former Gator All-American Megan Bush on the call.
