Records Fall In Loss To Red Raiders
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State (19-24, 4-8 Big 12) broke its program record for steals in a season and Erica Miller broke the record for RBI in a season as the home team fell to Texas Tech (29-21, 3-9 Big 12), 15-5, at the Cyclone Sports Complex.
Freshman Brittany Gomez stole two bases on Sunday, totaling 24 individual steals and breaking the Cyclone team single-season record for steals with 71 this season.
At bat in the bottom of the fifth, Miller singled, driving in her second run of the day and 45th of the season, topping Tori Torrescano's 44 RBI from 2012. Miller was 2-for-3 at the plate on Sunday, the only Cyclone with multiple hits on the day.
With two outs in the top of the second, the Tech batters got going, scoring two runs on RBI-singles from Samantha Camello and Sydnie Tapia off Cyclone starter Torrescano (10-10). Torrescano allowed five runs on six hits while walking two and fanning three in three and two-thirds innings in the circle.
Miller got one back for Iowa State in the bottom of the third with a two-out single to right but was thrown out trying to go to second on the throw home, ending the Cyclone half of the inning.
Tech pitcher Gretchen Aucoin hit her first career home run, a two-run shot to left, in the top of the fourth for a 5-1 lead that Lexi Slater cut to 5-2 with an RBI-groundout in the bottom of the frame, scoring Torrescano who led off the inning with her ninth double of the season.
In the fifth, the Red Raiders plated three runs before recording an out. After a fly out and a strikeout, Mikey Kinney singled home two of her four runs of the contest for a 10-2 lead, but Iowa State would not go quietly, scoring three runs in its half of the fifth.
Aly Cappaert started things off in the fifth with an infield single, hit hard at the Tech third baseman. Jorden Spendlove bunted; trying to sacrifice pinch runner Alex Tinaglia to second but the Tech throw to second was late, leaving two on with no outs. Gomez doubled to the outfield wall to drive a run before pinch hitter Liana Henry hit a sac fly to right and Miller singled to make the score 10-5.
Back at it in the top of the sixth, Texas Tech scored five more runs, including one on a throwing error by Iowa State, to bring about the final of 15-5 as the Cyclones were unable to send another runner across home plate in their last turn at the plate.
Aucoin (6-2) got the win with four and a third innings of work in which she was charged with five runs on five Cyclone hits and one walk. She also struck out a batter.
The Cyclones will play six games on the road next week, starting with a 6 p.m. CDT first pitch at Drake on Tuesday, April 23.

How they named these features, I've got no idea.
Still, being three days after first 1/4 Moon, the Northern mountains forming Sinus Iridum shone out like a beacon. A really stunning feature this enourmous mountain range, Montes Jura, that rose out of the darkness of the terminator. Very striking indeed, with the arc of disconnected beads of light reaching out of the dark.
Sinus Iridum while seemingly featureless has a wealth of Lunar history to tell. It is the result of a very, very ancient massive impact that resulted in its floor being completely flooded by lava. BUT, it is much older than the neighbouring Mare Inbrium (Sea of showers). The hint to Iridum's antiquity comes from the Wrinkle Ridges that span its width. Wrinkle Ridges are the terminator line of lava flows. These lava flow stop-lines all run somewhat concentric from their origin within Mare Inbrium. As such, the floor of Sinus Iridum lies some 600m below that of the mean height of Mare Inbrium!
Volcanism within Iridum also didn't finish with its flooding. There are at least four "domes" or volcanos within it, one of which I've captured in my sketch, in the top left quadrant of Iridum, a tiny double lobed feature which is Heraclides 4 (the volcano, 3km dia.) and Heraclides E (4km dia.) [Promontorium Heraclides is the southern spur of the Montes Jura chain that surrounds Iridum]. The four main volcanic vents within Iridum all lie to the west of the line of wrinkle ridges that flow into it. Quite a story book of history this area.
While bereft of big impact craters, long examination of the area begins to reveal a patchwork of small ray craters. These are around the 3 to 5km mark in diameter, but their ray systems extends a little further out. These ray craters are all relatively new impacts.
I hope you enjoy this sketch.

[School of Social Work]
Students are required to complete a minimum of 120 hours for the degree. Of these, 48 hours must be in social work courses. Required courses are listed in the "Program Requirements" section on this page.
Hours of study for the minor in social welfare. Although social work majors are not required to have a minor, students in certain other divisions of the University may earn minors in social welfare by completing 18 hours of social work courses. Course requirements are listed under "Minor in Social Welfare" on p. 243.
Independent study by correspondence. Independent study courses may be taken by correspondence through the Division of Independent Study of the University of Alabama College of Continuing Studies. It is preferred that the student take the regular classroom course if it is offered at a time during which he or she can attend. A student wishing to take a course by correspondence should talk with his or her advisor and obtain permission to pursue this plan. If approval is granted, the student then must complete the appropriate form in the College of Continuing Studies office.
Social work (SW) courses are not offered through independent study by correspondence.
Independent study. Independent study is usually arranged in order for the student to pursue a special area of interest in social work or social welfare that is not covered in courses regularly offered. To arrange an independent study course, the student should obtain permission from his or her advisor, work out the goals and objectives of the course with the supervising instructor, and secure a recommendation from the program chair and approval from the associate dean's office. Independent study must be approved no later than the last day of class of the semester preceding the semester of the course. Adding such courses after registration is not permitted. Such courses may be dropped according to University policy.
Course substitution. Occasionally, a student may wish to substitute another course for a required course. All such requests should first be presented to the student's advisor, who will weigh the merits of course substitution and determine if the content of the proposed course is appropriate as a substitute. Decisions on course substitutions are made by the program chairperson.
Concurrent enrollment. A student who wishes to take courses at another college or university during a summer or regular semester should, after talking with his or her advisor, check with the School of Social Work records office to determine whether or not the courses will transfer to the School of Social Work. Prior approval must be received in order for transfer credit to be accepted toward degree requirements.
Second bachelor's degree. A student with a baccalaureate degree in a major other than social work may take courses leading to a bachelor's degree in social work as a second degree. In order to qualify to enroll in social work courses as a major, the student is expected to meet all requirements for admission (i.e., 2.25 overall GPA and 2.5 GPA in social work courses, a completed application for admission, and the writing examination). The student is also expected to complete, in residence and with the required overall and social work GPAs, the specified social work courses for the B.S.W. degree. The student is also expected to take other courses common to social work majors, such as 4 hours of biological sciences. Students interested in a second degree should also refer to the University's requirements on p. 26.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Ryan Callahan always seemed like a guy
destined to be a New York Rangers lifer.
A native of Rochester, N.Y., the versatile forward has come a long way since
being a mid-round draft pick of the Rangers in 2004. Callahan first had to
prove he was an NHL player before reaching his current status as the
Blueshirts' popular captain.
Now it seems the gritty winger and impending unrestricted free agent could
become trade bait due to lofty salary demands reportedly sought by Callahan
and his agent Steve Bartlett.
The New York Post originally reported Callahan was seeking a seven-year, $42
million extension from the Rangers, but a more recent TSN.ca report suggests
the 28-year-old is seeking somewhere between $45.5 and $49 million over seven
years. The same reports suggest the Rangers have responded to those demands by
shopping Callahan on the trade market.
Although the NHL's trade deadline isn't until March 5, there is a chance
Callahan, a member of this year's U.S. Olympic team, could be traded before
the league goes on hiatus for the Sochi Games later this week. There have been
reports of the St. Louis Blues willing to part with power forward Chris
Stewart in a deal for Callahan, and that may be enough for the Rangers to rid
themselves of a salary extension headache.
Considering the humble beginnings to his professional hockey career, it's easy
to be impressed with Callahan's success as an NHLer. However, that doesn't
mean any team, the Rangers included, should be willing to devote $6.5 million a
year or more in cap space to Callahan for the next seven seasons. That is
especially true when one realizes that the 2013-14 season has been an injury-
plagued one for Callahan, who only has nine goals and 12 assists over 39
Don't get me wrong, Callahan can offer his help in many ways, but he could be
best described as a "Jack of all trades and master of none." Versatility is a
good trait to have in any sport, but it doesn't trump things like natural
scoring ability, a tool for which NHL teams will pay a premium.
The big contracts typically go to guys like New York Islanders winger Thomas
Vanek, who presently seems more interested in reaching the free agent market
this summer than signing an extension with the Isles. Like Callahan, Vanek
could be on the move from the New York area before the Olympic break begins on
After the Rangers picked him in the fourth round (127th overall) at the 2004
draft, Callahan paid his dues in juniors and with the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack
before finally sticking with the big club in 2007-08. The fact that he is a
three-time 20-goal scorer is a testament to his determination and work ethic,
but it doesn't mean New York should break the bank just to keep the captain in
the fold.
If Callahan's reported salary demands are to be believed, the low end of that
spectrum would have the Rangers' captain taking up as much cap space as Boston
two-way centerman Patrice Bergeron, who signed an eight-year, $52 million
extension with the Bruins last summer.
That deal carries an annual average value (AAV) of $6.5 million a season --
the same amount a seven-year, $45.5 million contract for Callahan would cost.
Bergeron, however, is a former Selke Trophy winner as the league's top
defensive forward and has been called the league's best all-around player by
Callahan, on the other hand, could reasonably be called a poor man's version
of Bergeron. He boasts some of the same qualities as Bergeron, but you'd be
hard-pressed to find an NHL GM who would take Callahan over the Bruins'
valuable forward.
There is a chance the Rangers are playing hardball and are simply leaking
inflated numbers to the press to try to weaken Callahan's negotiating stance.
Multiple reports suggest the team offered its captain a five-year, $30 million
extension, which is a fair deal but still nowhere near what Callahan is
purportedly asking.
Maybe this scenario would've played out better for Callahan if John Tortorella
was still behind the New York bench and not Alain Vigneault. It's no secret
Callahan was a favorite of Torts, who switched jobs with Vigneault over the
summer to become the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, but Vigneault's
style doesn't seem to value gritty and hard-nosed players as much as the
previous coach's style.
Players and teams often negotiate through the media and things can look pretty
bleak when that happens. Nevertheless, there is a chance this public posturing
could soon give way to a finished deal between Callahan and the Rangers.
Although for that to happen, it will likely be because Callahan backed off his
demands, not New York.

Adam Rice isn't a stereotypical quarterback.
He's not a Peyton Manning-like guy who throws for 300 yards a game. He's not a guy with eye-popping size. He's not even a guy who has big-time stats next to his name.
Or does he?
Granted, the senior quarterback for the Rifle High School football team doesn't look like the most intimidating guy. At 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, he's actually not much different than the offensive linemen who block for him. And although he touches the ball on every play, there's only been one time this year when his pass attempts have reached double figures.
Rice, however, is much more than just the guy who takes the snaps from center and hands the ball off to Ryan Moeller, Kellin Leigh and Isaac Rider.
He's the Bears' general. He's their leader. And when things are going well for Rifle's offense - averages of 417 yards of total offense and a 43.2 points per game pretty much say it's been going well all season - he's the main guy to thank for it.
"We couldn't replace him," Rifle coach Damon Wells said. "What he does is irreplaceable. Our quarterbacks have meetings during the week where they're quizzed on different looks that we might get defensively, and Adam is instrumental to our success. He has saved us many times."
In other words, Rice is one of the Bears' biggest students of football who applies what he's learned on the football field. What he has learned flows right into Rifle's offensive philosophy, helping the Bears make the best use of what's available.
Of course, he's had quite a bit to work with this season.
One available player just happens to be one of the leading rushers in Colorado. Ryan Moeller, whose 276-yard rushing performance was instrumental in the Bears' 42-0 victory over Erie last Saturday in the first round of the Class 3A state playoffs, has amassed 2,464 rushing yards with 35 touchdown runs this season. Leigh has 909 rushing yards and Rider - whose first touchdown of the season started the running-clock mercy rule in the fourth quarter - has 296 rushing yards.
None of those backs, however, would have had the success they've had without Rice. He's been able to survey the opposing defenses, evaluate what's in front of the offense and has switched plays many times, helping Rifle's offense run efficiently all season long.
"Most of the time, when one of us gets the ball, it's not by design," Moeller said. "A lot of times, we check out of one play to get into a better one. So if Isaac or Kellin got so many sweeps in a row, it's because it was going to work a lot better than whatever play we had called."
Even Rice, who is quick to deflect any accolades due to him, admits plenty of changes have to be made on the fly.
"A lot of times we'll see a team on film, and every week it seems like they bring out something completely different," Rice said.
Rice, however, hasn't been too bad throwing the ball, either. He's 29-for-56 passing for 518 yards and eight touchdowns, and his second interception of the season didn't come until last week. His biggest game of the year came on Sept. 21, when he went 8-for-10 for 107 yards and a touchdown in Rifle's 62-6 win at Montezuma-Cortez.
"When we've thrown the ball, we've had great success throwing the ball," Wells said.
Rifle has had a lot of success in everything it's done this season. Suffice to say, stereotypical or not, Rice has been one of the biggest reasons for it.

2006 Goodguys Lonestar Nationals - Worth ItWritten by on January 16, 2007 Goodguys Lonestar Nationals Heats
I always enjoy going to Texas. It gives me a chance to visit with a few friends, and the weather is generally pretty nice for cruising a hot rod. I've used San Antonio as my base the last couple of times I've gone out there for some shows and got together with some of the guys from Vintage Air who are always willing to jump in their hot rods and put some miles under them.
I twisted their arms this year and got them to lend me a '52 Chevy hardtop they had sitting around to use as my rental car for the week. If you can picture a Texas barn car, you get the idea. It's straight with faded and rubbed-through paint but has a 350 and 10-bolt. Up front, though, it still has the stock suspension and drums (a little more arm twisting and it might get some dropped spindles and discs for my next trip). Even with the heavy braking and steering, it still beats driving to a car show in a rented Grand Am.
We hit the road with four hot rods and made the required burger and ice cream stops along the way. It wasn't long before we pulled into Fort Worth and checked into the hotel. We still had lots of daylight left, which allowed those of us with the non-show cars to sit around, supervise, and commentate while the Deuce coupe among us had its under-carriage cleaned.
The next day, we headed into the Texas Motor Speedway and soon found ourselves surrounded with more show cars than we'd seen in past years. The numbers weren't the only thing going up, as the quality of cars keeps getting better. The weather held out, although it got a little hotter each day and finding shade wasn't always easy.
The trip home was made a little more exciting, as the slightly out-of-balance tire turned out to be a bad U-joint, which came apart and allowed the driveshaft to drop out. Kind of an odd feeling checking your rearview mirror and seeing your driveshaft exit the back of the car. A relatively quick roadside repair and we were back on the road.

Looks like Mike and Sharon Brown went right down the hot rod checklist. Chopped? Check. Hemi? Check. Bright color? Check.Gassers are hot, and one of the best I've seen lately is Joe Gateley's '55. He kept it simple and to the point. A 355ci small-block, Muncie M21 four-speed, and '59 Oldsmobile rearend with 5.14:1 gears give it plenty of strip flavor.Not many people can say they own a real 1933 Ford roadster pickup, and we only know one who can say he owns a '32, '33, and '34. Bill Lindig's latest rides had just rolled out of Bruce's Rod Shop in Spring, TX, with a 308ci Flathead, T5 five-speed, 16-inch Kelsey wires (rears widened), Halibrand quick-change, Magnum dropped I-beam, and original Lincoln brakes.James McClelland's 3 1/2-inch-chopped steel '34 five-window looks like it's ready for the lakebed. A '60 Corvette 283 and T10 four-speed were dropped in the stock 'rails along with a Winter's quick-change perfect for those high-speed runs and then driving home afterward.The Starliners were one of Ford's best designs ever, and Jack Benge knew a good thing when he saw it and left most of the stock exterior design as is. The drivetrain and interior were fair game though. Underneath, this Starliner is all '97 Lincoln, from the 4.6L engine to the rearend. Air Ride Technologies adjusted the stance, and 18- and 20-inch Billet Specialties wheels fill the fenders.I like resto rods, and if I were building a phaeton, here's what it would look like. Mike Davis beat me to the punch with his steel '33 Ford sitting on a Total Cost Involved chassis with Heidt's IFS and a four-bar rear suspension. Power comes from a 302 Ford backed by a C4.If I were looking for something to put a bunch of miles under and carry a group of friends, this would be it. Kenny Allen took a classic and improved it. The '38 Packard has had 3 inches taken out of the top and is now motivated by an Allison five-speed automatic shifting an '02 GM 8.1L big-block. A Fatman IFS and Currie 9-inch complete the chassis. Custom Boyd Coddington 18- and 20-inch wheels with SUV tires fill the fenders just right.
Certainly not the most mainstream hot rod material, but Van Scalco saw something in this '63 Rambler American's design and made it work. A carbureted 302ci Ford resides under the hood now backed with a C4 auto and '80 Lincoln 9-inch with parallel leaf springs. A Fatman IFS was used up front.Wayne Davis knows how to blend vintage parts in a killer combination. His steel '35 Ford roadster sits on the stock frame with a dropped axle and 9-inch rearend. A '57 T-bird gave up its dual-quad 312 and three-speed overdrive for power. Other modifications include the 2-inch chop, '40 Ford dash, and '40 Mercury seat.As if '38 Ford woodies weren't odd enough, Carolyn Smith swapped '38 Ford Standard front sheetmetal onto hers to make it even more so. The body still retains most of its original wood (the inserts have been replaced). The chassis features an EFI-equipped LT1 and overdrive automatic, early '60s Chrysler torsion bar IFS, and Ford 9-inch.At first I thought Darrell Moseley's '40 Ford convertible was just another super-straight black street rod set off nicely with a set of ET mags. That was until he popped the hood and I was hit in the face with the dual-quad '57 392 Hemi. The convertible rides on a Pete & Jake's chassis with an MII IFS and 9-inch.I'd always heard rumors that some Willys left the factory with skinny tires and without a blown Hemi, but was always a little skeptical. Pat Cummings brought his '41 over all the way from Fort Worth.Ray Andrews' '36 Chevy coupe was about as nice as you could get. A stroked 383 Chevy and Turbo 400 pushes it along much better than the straight-six it replaced.In sharp contrast to Rudy Guerra's coupe to the right, Dicky Patterson's '31 might not have the fit and finish, but we're sure it's just as much fun thanks to the 331ci Hemi. In this case, the cheater slicks might be for more than just looks.We're starting to see a lot more early '50s Chevys. Tri-Five prices have gone through the roof, making these more affordable alternatives and much more desirable. Terry Love's '53 hardtop is a good example of why we expect to see even more.Rudy Guerra cruised up from San Antonio with his '30 Model A coupe. A three-Deuce intake tops the 350 small-block connected to a Turbo 350 auto. A Total Cost Involved chassis with a mixture of parts from Pete & Jake's and Super Bell provides support, and Wheel Vintique solids with big 'n' littles from the Whitewall Candy Store give it some rake.
George Jezek did it just like it was done back in the day: Take a '32, remove the fenders, drop in a warmed-over Flathead, and bolt on some lights, and you've got an instant hot rod.There's not a whole lot that needs to be done to a '58 Chevy to make it right. A hood punched with lots of louvers, a lowered stance, and some five-spokes with wide whites is the combo Gary Crump came up with.

From the moment you learn of your partner's pregnancy, you're thrust into a strange new world and encouraged to participate in the pregnancy and birth process. Yet, you may feel awkward about sharing your fears and insecurities. That's only natural. Here are seven common fears faced by fathers-to-be:
Security fears
The biggest fear men face is the one most deeply hardwired into our culture: Will I be able to protect and provide for my family? In many families when the first child arrives, there's this sudden if temporary shift from two incomes for two people to one income for three. And that's a tough burden to carry in today's world. The father has to be strong in ways he hadn't counted on before. He has to provide support not just financially but also emotionally: His partner will need his help, she'll be undergoing dramatic emotional shifts, and he has to be ready for her to lean on him.
Performance fears
More than 80 percent of the fathers I come across in my practice say they were worried they wouldn't be able to perform when their partner was in labor. They were afraid of passing out, throwing up, or getting queasy in the presence of all those bodily fluids. Such fears may be based on cartoons and sitcoms and our culture's way of making fun of men, but two things became clear: The men all expected it — and it almost never happens. In follow-up interviews, it turned out only one out of 600 men fainted, and that was in August in Fresno (California), and the air conditioning had gone out and two of the nurses had to leave the room, too.
If you really can't tolerate blood, step out of the delivery room. Don't ignore your fears — work through them, talk to other fathers who've been there. Typically, the first thing fathers say when they come out of the delivery room is "The baby and my wife are fine; it's a girl." And the second thing they say is "I didn't get queasy — I came through it okay."
Paternity fears
About half the new and expectant dads I interviewed eventually came around to admitting they had fleeting thoughts that they weren't really the baby's father. But if you ask them whether they suspect that their partner had an affair, they're insulted and hurt. On a logical level, it's a disconnect, but on an emotional level something else is going on. He's dwelling on his own inadequacies: "It's too monumental, too godlike, being part of the creation of life. Someone bigger than me must have done it."
One of the fathers I encountered was this interesting guy with bright red hair, freckles, and a crooked smile. His baby had bright red hair, freckles, and a crooked smile. And he said with a straight face, "I wonder if my wife was unfaithful." But he went on: "It just seemed — I don't know — this was too good, too miraculous to happen to me."

Dear Ship Family,
The wait is over! The very positive oral report that the campus heard from the Middle States Evaluating Team on April 8, 2009 has been acted upon by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Just this week, Shippensburg University received the letter "to reaffirm accreditation and to commend the institution for the quality of the self-study process." This short sentence contains high praise; roughly two-thirds of visited institutions are cited for not meeting at least one of the standards such as planning, resource allocation, institutional renewal, institutional assessment, or assessment of student learning outcomes. Shippensburg University met all fourteen standards. Of the thirty-nine suggestions contained in our self-study, the team reported only two recommendations and nine suggestions in their final report.
The oral report was the basis of a written report by the Evaluation Team, which is now posted on info.ship.eduand publically displayed on www.ship.edu/middlestates/. The last two paragraphs in the Evaluation Overview in the report summarize the information contained in the seventeen page document. "The self-study identified several areas for improvement, and the team concurs with the campus findings: assessments, while strong, should be more uniform throughout the campus; succession planning for leadership positions should be strengthened; a new 5-year strategic plan should be prepared; and recruitment and retention of a more diverse faculty and student body should be a higher priority." The team made two recommendations in the areas of recruiting a more diverse faculty and improving retention rates of under-represented students that should be addressed in Shippensburg's next Periodic Report. "Overall, Shippensburg knows its mission and is performing in an exemplary manner. It is an institution of integrity, and a place of significant student learning." In five years (2014), the campus will document information in the Periodic Review Report on the progress made on the recommendations and suggestions in the Evaluating Team's report as well as suggestions contained in the self-study.
This is a time for celebration! The campus community has worked hard over the past 2 years to reflect on its practices and seek ways to improve. We have gathered data, analyzed it, read the self-study and provided feedback, worked on our assessment processes and documented what we do. When the team arrived, we demonstrated our transparency and impressed them with our professionalism. The word "commend" or some form of it was used 11 times in the Team's final report. We were commended for working together as a campus during the leadership transition, for involving students in a "deliberate and meaningful way" in the governance process, for the highest 4-year graduation rate in the system, for improving our facilities, our advising, and our support services (our alcohol and drug programs got special recognition), our first-year faculty orientation, the hard work performed by the General Education Coordinating Committee (assessment getting special recognition), for our ability to secure external funds, and the assessment of our academic programs. Our "Temple to Assessment" in the Old Main Chapel was an impressive sight and was enthusiastically visited by the team members. Many commented that they wanted more time to view the information and take back ideas. We especially thank those who put in a tremendous amount of time and effort to create the "totes" that demonstrated our assessment activities; your organization was apparent and you helped to make Ship look great!
Such a positive report from Middle States does not end Shippensburg University's efforts in continuous improvement. As a reflective and professional community, we will consistently evaluate ourselves so that we provide the best experience possible for our students, faculty and staff. Thank you for your commitment and dedication to this excellent university. We look forward to shepherding the further improvement and great initiatives yet to come.

Bowie State Uses Defense to Hold Off Concord
The Bowie State University (BSU) Bulldogs claimed a 2-1 record after winning their home opener, 16-10, over the Concord University Mountain Lions on Sept. 21 in Bowie, Md.
Better known for its explosive offense, Bowie State relied on its defense against Concord as the Bulldogs held on to a close victory that wasn't earned until the very end of the game.
Bowie State led 16-10 with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter and Concord had four different chances to score a go-ahead touchdown win the game, but the Bulldogs held off Concord each time to secure the win. One of BSU's defensive stops came on the final play of the game, when the Bulldogs forced an incompletion on a potential game-winning touchdown to end regulation.
BSU redshirt sophomore linebacker Antoine Young, a Washington, D.C. native from Suitland High, led his team with 14 tackles, including eight solo tackles.
Redshirt junior running back Keith Brown scored both of Bowie State's touchdowns; the Temple Hills, Md. native rushed for a career-high 149 yards.
Next up: Bowie State will host Central Interscholastic Athletic Association opponent St. Augustine on Sept. 28 in Bowie, Md.

Being a photographer is a great job, as you get to meet some amazing people and touch peoples' lives by capturing memories that last forever. Its also a very important tool that can be used to document, comment on and fight social injustice and its nice to be able to give something back.
One such instant was the We Are What We Wear charity fashion show that I was involved with in March 2011. One of my clients Vaishali Shah of Creative ID and Ananya Cards, asked me if I would be interested in covering the charity fashion show organised by the Find Your Feet charity, in celebration of their 50th Anniversary. All monies raised would go to the charity, to help them further their work.
Find Your Feet are a charity that works in rural areas to help support people and help them free themselves from poverty, through listening and responding to the varying needs of the different communities that they work with. The charity was founded in 1960 by Carol Martin and has evolved from being an organisation that provides humanitarian aid, to being one that supports long-term rural development projects and now focuses on India and Malawi. Despite now being a major economic growth area, the gap between the rich and poor in India is vast, a difference I saw myself when I visited the country in 2004. Malawi is one of the world's least developed nations and relies heavily on aid to help with its development challenges.
The event was held in the Mint Leaf Restaurant Bar in the Haymarket, London and the venue was an ideal place to hold a fashion show. Not only was there a stage area for the main part of the fashion show and the dance event, there were walkways all around the restaurant which allowed the models to showcase the outfit to all the diners.
It was a star studded evening and was hosted by DJ Nihal from Radio 1's Asian Network Show. Other guests included past MasterChef 2010 winner Dhruv Baker and Honey Kalaria, who runs her own Bollywood Dance Academy , "Britain's top Modern Indian Dance expert" The Sun. Some of Honey's young dancers also had hearts pumping and feet tapping with a fabulous, energetic Bollywood inspired repertoire.
Providing fun interludes throughout the evening magician Bharat Patel surprised and intrigued people with spell binding tricks.
The designers produced an exciting, varied and unusual array of outfits, which utilised all sorts of fabrics, including recycled materials and were created with environmental and ethical sourcing concerns paramount in the concept. Backstage was a cacophony of noise and colour, as models, make up artists and hairdressers raced to get ready for their entrance onto the catwalk.
After the fashion show, there was a charity auction hosted by Charley Speed, who is a model and judge on Britain's Next Top Model and everyone had great fun bidding for the items and Charley even sported one of the auction lots, a fantastic handbag made of drink can ring pulls :-).
The evening was a fabulous celebration of the work of the charity and raised the amazing total of £10,000 to help the charity continue its vital work helping the world's poor. If you would like to help the charity with its work, donations can be made online on the charity's website.

1929 Ford Model A Tudor - Just For FunWritten by on July 10, 2008 Contributors: Kevin Lee, Tracy Turner This Homebuilt, Low-Budget Model A Is All About Enjoyment
Tracy Turner had owned performance cars in the past, but when he and his wife, Laura, got back into the hobby, they decided to do it with something really cool and really fun. "I have always admired the simplicity of traditional hot rods and noticed that, at most of the shows I was attending, the people with these cars seemed to be enjoying themselves the most," he said.
After flipping through magazines and parts catalogs, Tracy concluded that, with a little planning, smart choices, and working on one section of the car while saving up for parts for another section, he could build a reliable, safe, and fun hot rod on a low-buck budget. And it was a $50 swap meet rearend that started the build on one of the coolest homebuilt Model As we've seen in a while.
Sometimes, his budget backfired, as in the case of a $180 small-block. Tracy rebuilt the top end, but he discovered some serious bottom-end problems when he finally fired it. "I was devastated, because I didn't have the cash to send out the short-block for a rebuild," he said. "But, when I got home the next day, I found a newly remanufactured short-block on the stand." Tracy's father-in-law, Steve Moody, had stepped in to help keep the project moving. "Thanks to him, I had a new bottom end rebuilt and painted, my top end installed, and the engine back in the car and running." Tracy's own father, Thurman Turner, also contributed to the project, donating a lot of the parts and lending a hand throughout the buildup.
The '29 Tudor body was a $1,000 purchase from the swap meet at the '03 Street Rod Nationals in Louisville. It was in good condition, with near-perfect doors and no major rust except for the subrails, which were removed when Tracy channeled the body.
That 4-inch channel plus a 4-inch chop gave the sedan a pure hot rod profile- and domino'd into a whole series of modifications. The grille shell was notched at the bottom to sit over the frame, keeping the proportions just right. Instead of recessing the firewall to fit the small-block, Tracy slid the body back 4 inches to keep the engine out in the open. The wheelbase stayed the same, so he pushed the wheelwells 4 inches forward. "The metal in the body was so nice I hated to cut it out only to turn around and replace it," he said. "So, I just cut a new arch, recessed the sheetmetal, and welded in strips to fill it in."
The sedan was ready to drive three years after Tracy bought the rearend that started the whole thing. "My daughter, Blaney, who is the reason this is a sedan and not a coupe, was 4 at the time and wanted the first family trip to be to go get ice cream. ever since, she has referred to the car as the Ice Cream getter."
Nowadays, the sedan is almost always going somewhere. "The longest trip was a 1,500-mile round trip to the Jalopy Showdown in Pennsylvania, just to hot-lap it on a muddy dirt track," Tracy recalled. "It's not uncommon to see it in the parking lot at the grocery store or the hardware store. If I don't drive it to work, my wife does. I drove it in the snow to go sledding with Blaney and parked it among the 4x4 SuVs."
Whether it's parked among SuVs or show cars, Tracy's Tudor is typically one of the coolest cars in the crowd. "I built it the way I wanted and the way I wanted it to look," he said. "I built what I consider a hot rod. I'll probably never sell this car. It may go through a few transitions during its life, but it will always remain a simple hot rod."
Rod & Custom Feature Car
Tracy Turner
Indianapolis, Indiana
1929 Ford Model A Tudor
Tracy built a new frame for the sedan using 1-1.2x3-inch 'rails from Total Performance Incorporated, fabricating new motor and transmission mounts to raise the driveline a couple of inches. he also added a center crossmember and stepped the chassis 5 inches in the rear, C-notching the frame above the axle. The Super Bell dropped axle and spindles are suspended on a four-bar setup (Tracy said he'd probably go with more traditional hairpins if he ever redid it) plus a James durant monoleaf spring and Pete & Jake's shocks. Total Performance 36-inch radius rods attach to custom mounts, moving the rear suspension inside the 'rails. The Ford 8-inch rearend hangs on Total Cost Involved All American coilovers. Custom-built Panhard bars were added in the front and rear. The brakes are Ford F-1 drums in front and Mustang drums in the rear.
The bargain small-block was machined 0.040 over by Marshall engines and assembled at home. Fuel is hardlined to triple Rochester 2g carburetors on an offenhauser intake manifold. Jim Linder at Bubba's hot Rod Shop in Indy rebuilt the old delco distributor, replacing the points with PerTronix electronics and recurving them on one of his vintage distributor machines. A little paint on the Mooneyes solid finned aluminum valve covers dresses us the engine. The lakester-style headers were built by the owner. Muffl ers? No. A $60 Th350 out of the classified ads runs a Jeg's 1,700-rpm-stall converter. A modified Chevy van driveshaft connects to the 8-inch Ford rear with 3.50:1 gears.
Wheels & Tires
The old jalopy racing days come to mind when we look at the Firestone dirt-track bias-plies from Coker. Tracy mounted tall 8.90-16 grooved tread rear tires on 16x7 gennie wheels from wheel Vintiques. In the front, it's ribbed 5.00-15s on 15x5 rims.
Body & Paint
The steel Tudor body, a swap meet souvenir from the Street Rod Nats, was chopped 4 inches, channeled 4 inches, and moved back 4 inches, giving it a low and long hot rod posture, enhanced by the open engine compartment and lowered- but not sectioned-grille shell. denny Jameson at Automotive hammerart in Indy did the chop and molded the visor to the roof, filling the roof with a ribbed top from an '80 olds wagon. Tracy did the channeling and installed the tinted window glass. The sedan went to Indy Speed, Custom & Restoration in Brownsburg, Indiana, for final bodywork and paint. Carey Bewley and his staff prepped the car and shot the PPg primer, a blend of eight parts red and one part black, to create a cool red oxide tone.
It doesn't get much simpler than what you'll find on the inside of the '29. A '94 Ford Aerostar bench in front and a modified S-10 seat in the back were covered with a tan, white, and black Mexican falsa blanket, expertly hog-ringed by the owner. The lift-latch seatbelts are from Juliano's. The rear seat sits on sliders. A hinged package tray folds easily and slides forward to allow access to the gas tank and battery. The gauge insert in the stock dash was modified to fit a set of Classic Instrument gauges. A tach is tucked under the dash to the left of the Limeworks steering column, and the wheel is a '40 Ford-style part, also from Limeworks. The double-bend shifter is from Lokar and pedals are from Total Performance.

ISSUE: Winter 2011-12
DEPT: Entertaining
STORY: Elyse Glickman
The historic resort town of Hua Hin, Thailand (incorporated in the 1920s by King Rama VII), has authenticity in its favor, with local culture and natural beauty winning out over Phuket's five-star flash and dash. Chiva Som, one of Southeast Asia's most innovative wellness resorts, lies at the heart of this gorgeously unpretentious oasis, just a three-hour drive from Bangkok. Though it seems a little quiet at first, Chiva Som's lush, fragrant compound opens like a lotus into a multi-dimensional, calming experience.
Chiva Som's primary mission is to send guests home with a most lasting souvenir — better health habits, attained in most pleasurable ways. For this reason, personalization takes priority over pretension. Shortly after your first glass of crisp lemongrass iced tea made on-premise, a spa counselor will promptly set your personal wellness plan into motion, even steering you away from treatments you would pick if left to your own devices. Though a body scrub or facial may be tempting, the counselor may insist Reiki, Thai massage or their patented digestion- focused massage are more appropriate for your long-term well-being.
Fitness classes (everything from Thai boxing to Shaolin Wushu to golf), modifiable to every fitness level, are made more enticing with lush jungle greenery and laid-back fitness instructors. Chiva Som's cuisine is delicious and informatively presented, with calories and specific nutritional benefits outlined in detail. Cooking classes incorporating a trip to Hua Hin's food markets with Chiva Som's chef are also available for an extra charge.
Though Chiva Som encourages guests to stay on property as much as possible, they do offer shuttles to Hua Hin's bustling night market. An upscale alternative is the delightful Cicada Market (cicadamarket.net), staged only on weekends, featuring live jazz performances as well as handcrafted jewelry, clothing, textiles and objets d'art sold by their creators in a tidy maze of open air boutiques.

Marco Scutaro matched an LCS record with 14 hits in the series and Pablo Sandoval drove in a run for his fifth straight game. The Giants returned to the World Series two years after winning it all, getting the final out in a downpour.
The Detroit Tigers, who have been waiting on their opponent since finishing a four-game ALCS sweep of the Yankees last Thursday, get another trip to the Bay Area after clinching the division series in Oakland.

ADAIR VILLAGE, Ore. — The Animal Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for cutting open bird pens at the E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area in an effort to free pheasants and quail.
The activist group said in a post on its website that masked liberators "carried out the rescue" Aug. 15. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife, which manages the pens, said no birds escaped.
Two of the damaged pens had been empty, the agency said, and the birds held in the other damaged pens remained in their enclosures.
The Animal Liberation Front said wire cutting tools were used to open the pens, giving three ring-necked pheasants, one white pheasant and one mountain quail a chance to escape into the wild.
"If it wasn't for a car pulling into a lot next the pens, forcing us to make a premature departure, the rest of the dozen or so birds would have been given a chance at freedom as well," the group wrote. "This action is no victory for those left behind."
Tracy Thompson, a wildlife area associate, said the birds who live there are either pen-raised or have been injured in the wild.
"They would have less than a 5 percent chance of surviving outside the pens in the wild," she told the Corvallis Gazette-Times.
The number and types of birds kept at E.E. Wilson fluctuate, but the agency has cared for pheasants, quail, chukars and turkeys, and usually has about 15 birds, Thompson said.
An FBI agent from the Eugene office checked in with local investigators as a courtesy to let them know of the Animal Liberation Front's acknowledgement of responsibility, Capt. Greg Ridler of the Benton County Sheriff's Office said. No arrests have been made.
Damage to the wire enclosures was estimated at $50.

Panama Canal Authority embraced by Long Beach, too
December 07, 2010
In a move that at first glance may seem "counter intuitive," officials from the Port of Long Beach and the Panama Canal Authority have agreed to a series of efforts to promote more trade between Latin America and the U.S.
"While It is true that some shippers regard the Canal as a threat to our port when it comes to capturing trade from Asia, this agreement simply tells the world that we are seeking opportunities in Latin America as well," said the port's information director, Art Wong.
With the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, the two authorities agreed to exchange marketing ideas aimed at boosting trade between Long Beach and countries in the East Coast of South America and the Caribbean, via the Panama Canal. The MOU also calls for an exchange of ideas in the areas of engineering, dredging technology and environmental practices.
"Latin America is a relatively small but an emerging trade partner for our region," said the port's of Long Executive Director Richard D. Steinke. "This partnership will help increase our reach to this market as it expands."
"The Port of Long Beach is a key logistics leader, and we look forward to promoting the Canal to increase international trade among Long Beach, Latin America and the Caribbean," said Panama Canal Authority (ACP) Administrator/CEO Alberto Alemán Zubieta.
The Panama accord covers marketing activities and the exchange of technical expertise in several areas, including engineering, training and environmental programs.
"This accord expands the global network of port authorities, like the Port of Long Beach and the ACP, who are dedicated to green, sustainable and efficient development," said Long Beach Harbor Commissioner Mario Cordero. "The Port of Long Beach is dedicated to growing that network and has signed similar agreements with several ports in China, Europe and Mexico."
Wong told LM in an interview that trade with Latin America accounts for a small percentage of the port's annual trade volume, Cordero and other officials hope to tap into emerging manufacturing markets to boost future trade.
"Mr. Cordero has really been leading the effort to drive 'green initiatives' in Panama and Latin America, too," said Wong.
The Canal is undergoing an expansion project expected to be completed by 2014, which will allow larger ships to transit through.
The MOU further expands an international network of maritime entities dedicated to pursuing green, sustainable developments. The Port of Long Beach has similar MOUs in place with several ports in China, Europe and Mexico.

Should You Get a Pneumonia Vaccination?
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
The term pneumonia refers to any infection of the lung. The "pneumonia vaccine" is given to prevent one specific type of pneumonia--the pneumonia caused by the Pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) bacterium. Pneumonia caused by Pneumococcus is the most common form of infection occurring outside of a hospital or institutional setting in the U.S. Pneumococcus infection is responsible for over 6,000 deaths per year in the U.S.--the highest number for any vaccine-preventable disease. A serious complication of pneumonia, pneumococcal meningitis, is associated with a particularly high fatality rate.
Certain groups of people are considered to be at particularly high risk for the development of pneumonia, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend vaccination for these groups. Those recommended groups include:
- People age 65 or older
- People over age two years of age who have problems with their lungs, heart, liver, or kidneys
- People over age two years of age with health problems like diabetes, sickle cell disease, alcoholism, or HIV/AIDS
- Persons over two years of age who are taking any treatments that weaken the body's immune system
- Alaskan natives and some Native American populations


text: Hey look, it's almost June. Only a little bit longer before you can take your favorite rompers and sundresses out of storage and eschew all those complicated "layers" you wear in the cold months. But before you go freezing your buns off on a park blanket, remember that we're not quite there yet, at least not here in New York. (If you live someplace where it's always warm, ignore this, or maybe read it just to laugh at us. Also, I hate you.) Which articles of clothing can take you through these strange, oft clammy (but sometimes nice!) days without looking incredibly awkward? Allow me to show you some, in gallery form.

Every year it seems to be a scramble to get the final9 safari layout at the Badlands, so I thought I'd write it down for prosperity. Remember that these holes are usually in the long/very long pin positions, which makes it easier walking and better flow for this safari course.

I have read thru the entire thread but I apoligize if I repest a prior post. I have hunted with some real num nuts before that couldn't possibly be helped by technolgy. They couldn't tell direction of the wind from direction to the mall. They made enough noise in the woods to scare every living creature within 1000 yards. They did not have the skills to be a good hunter. Not saying that people don't get lucky but this is normally not the case with this type of hunter. You have to have basic underlying skills if you want technology to help you out. I would love to have the new 1000 hp ford mustang but I would probably have it wrapped around the first telephone pole on the highway. I just don't have the skill for that technology.
Now a good hunter with good skills can be helped by technolgy. If you understand your equipment and know what differences it can make to have just a little bit better equipment ( technolgy) then it can improve your abilities.
My first rifle ( 30.06 springfield 03a3 ) pales in comparison to what I shoot now but it still killed game. I wore flannel for years and got soaked to the bone but still managed to stay out in the field. I never owned a gps untill I couldn't find where I tied up my horses in a heavy snow ( I did eventually find them after dark). Having basic skills is the prerequisite for sucess.
Now about the money. Financially, it is suppose to get easier to afford the things you want as you get older. Not always the case but basically that is the way it happens. Some people have money from day one and some people have to work their a$$ off just to make do. Don't knock anyone for how they dress or what equip they own. If they have it or don't have it, WHO CARES! Just go hunt. You can't buy skill.

The Occupy Wall Street movement plans to occupy Sawyer Point this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., one of several protests planned in other cities since the protest over corporate money in politics began more than three weeks ago in New York. (UPDATE: The protest has been moved to Lytle Park due to an already scheduled event at Sawyer Point.)
The Cincinnati Enquirer did its usual muckraking on the subject, determining that the movement's "goals are vague" and then linking to a story quoting a member of the movement describing its goals quite succinctly:
Do you enjoy looking at slideshows of rich people? Here's a good one, themed "Most Corrupt Members of Congress." Guess which local Eastside representative made the list … Here's a hint: Jean Schmidt.
A coalition of progressive groups will hold a national convention later this month in Madison, Wis., the site of a hard-fought political battle to protect collective bargaining rights for public-sector labor unions.
Democracy Convention 2011 is scheduled for Aug. 24-28, and is envisioned as the inaugural session of what will become an annual event. It will feature several conferences on topics like community organizing, curtailing corporate influence in politics, economic democracy, independent media and constitutional reform.
There was a period of time in U.S history, roughly for 30 years after the Civil War, known as "the Gilded Age." The American economy grew at an unprecedented rate as the nation transformed itself from an agrarian society into an industrial one.
But the transformation's downside included excessive displays of wealth and captains of industry who grew their fortunes on the backs of exploited and mistreated workers. The government ignored the situation, as the era gave rise to the concept of "social Darwinism."
Today is the winter solstice, the day of the year with the longest amount of darkness. That means it's also Homeless Memorial Day.
Since 1990, the National Coalition for the Homeless has held memorial services for individuals who have died from causes related to their lack of housing on this day.
Ineffective. Fiscally irresponsible. Overcrowded.
Those are some of the words used by reform advocates to describe Ohio's criminal justice system. As part of its effort to publicize disparities in the state's prisons, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio will bring its Freedom Tour here on Dec. 6.
Today is Veterans Day, which began as Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919, the one-year anniversary of the end of World War I. President Eisenhower formally made it Veterans Day in 1954.
HBO airs a new documentary film tonight, Wartorn: 1861-2010, focusing on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among U.S. soldiers as well as soldier suicides from the Civil War up through the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Actor James Gandolfini is the film's executive producer and conducts on-camera interviews. Watch a preview here.
The Pleasant Ridge Community Council wil get words of advice and inspiration tonight from environmental activist Lois Gibbs, who was instrumental in the fight to clean up Love Canal in New York during the 1970s.
Gibbs will speak to the group at 7 p.m. at the Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Church.
Continuing a trend that just won't go away, Father Robert F. Poandl of Cincinnati pleaded not guilty this morning to charges of sexual abuse, which allegedly occurred in 1991. The now 28-year-old man claimed that Poandl molested him during a trip to the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in West Virginia, where he was accompanying Poandl who was to fill in for a local priest there.
Poandl was indicted last month on charges of 1st degree sexual assault, 1st degree sexual abuse and sexual abuse by a custodian. Father Dan Dorsey, president of Glenmary Home Missioners, to which Poandl was an associate, says Poandl was removed from active service as a pastor in Georgia when he learned of the allegations in June of last year.
However Catholic officials are receiving criticism from SNAP (the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) for not publicly addressing the allegations sooner. "We...hope Catholic officials - in both Ohio and West Virginia - will tell the truth about why they kept quiet about these allegations for over six months," said the group's midwest director, Judy Jones, in a statement released on Thursday. "Such secrecy is immoral and reckless, and may have led to other kids being abused too." Poandl has served as a priest since 1968. He has resided as pastor over churches in Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Mississippi.
As to why the alleged victim was even with Poandl in West Virginia at the time, it is unclear. Details over their visit to Holy Redeemer Catholic Church have yet to be disclosed. However one thing is certain, and that is it will be a much greater surprise if Poandl is found innocent of these charges than it will be if he is found guilty. It's strange to find oneself desensitized to a matter such as this. But unfortunately, Poandl is just another number in the 4,450 priests accused of sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002, this according to a 2004 survey commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Poandl's trial is scheduled for June 15, 2010. He is free on a bond of $15,000.

My Dad switched out his salt-fed filtering system in favor of using cartridges - It is easier to maintain and economical - now that I've taken over the maintenance.
