Expert Insights: Grief Support After Preventable Infant Death
Project IMPACT convenes, connects and supports communications between SUID/SIDS professionals and programs. In an effort to recognize the contributions of our professional colleagues, Project IMPACT occasionally invites a featured professional to respond to questions regarding a topic of importance. Today's topic addresses the challenges of providing grief services after a "preventable" infant death. Our featured professional is Dr. Sarah Kye Price.

Now that so many more infant deaths are labeled "preventable", what is the impact on grief services for families?
When I first read this question as posed, I immediate was taken back to the bereavement support situations I wrestled with alongside families who encountered this notion of preventability. For any of us…when anyone we love dies…we wrestle with the "would have, could have, should have…" dilemmas. Now, add to this human angst the fact that the death is that of a child for whom we feel entirely responsible, whether or not she or he was in our care when the death happened. Then, add to this internalized struggle a formal document that you look at and read over and over and over again which says: "preventable" every time you see it. What we have in the making is the perfect storm of guilt and grief and blame for bereaved parents, the vast and overwhelming majority of whom were doing the absolute best they could to parent and care for their children. It is possibly one of the most traumatic situations I can imagine, because of its intense internal struggle and the lack of social support that surrounds such a diagnosis.
Is the grief process different?
When I teach crisis intervention, I often talk to my students about the notion of "disequilibrium" that happens during a crisis. I would like to pose that bereavement professionals conceptualize this situation as having two phases: first as crisis, and then later as grief propecia online. Crisis disrupts our sense of balance, fairness, and rightness. Its suddenness is jarring, its intensity overwhelms our ability to do the things we need to do every day, and it is often marked by shock, anger, guilt/blame. People feel singled out and separated from the rest of the world when in crisis. The relational grief process over the child who died in labeled "preventable" deaths is very likely to be delayed during this more intense disequilibrium from shock, blame, guilt, and anger intensified by the diagnostic label.
Should grief services be offered differently?
Yes, I believe so. Approaching a family in this situation with a list of "typical" grief symptoms and services may feel very out of place. Responding to the family using a crisis stabilization framework where psychological first-aid is provided until some sense of equilibrium can be restored makes more sense. No one wants to attend a support group for a death they are still internalizing as preventable. So, I don't think we should press that as a front-line strategy. We cannot begin to touch on the relational dynamics of grief…even though they are so important, eventually…when the parent(s) are in crisis. We should be present, persistent, help them articulate their emotional responses and slowly rebuild their social support system and regain trust in themselves as person by person accepts them as they are. We cannot take away guilt, but we can urge them to see their intentions of love, parenting, and caregiving as equal "truth" alongside the label. It may help to have them write these positive attributes down as a thought-replacement exercise when emotions surface over the diagnostic label. When ready to view the loss beyond the label, we can link them to additional support services, such as groups.
What is your best advice for the grief support professional?
Simply put: avoid the urge to "fix it" or to dismiss the label. Let them know that many bereaved parents struggle with the idea of preventability no matter how the death is labeled. Expect crisis reactions to occur when the final diagnosis is presented, and be the calm presence a family may need during their disequilibrium. Conduct a home visit if at all possible and, in doing so, convey the message that you are a presence of support in their own world & surroundings, meeting them exactly where they are at without judgment. For those who engage in both bereavement support and risk-reduction education, keep your roles distinct in the early stages and offer up information at a later point when the family is ready (for example, if parents ponder a subsequent pregnancy).

Qualitative Analysis of Beliefs and Perceptions about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in African-American Mothers: Implications for Safe Sleep Recommendations
J Pediatr. 2010 Mar 18. [Epub ahead of print]
Goldberg Center for Community Pediatric Health, Children's National Medical Center, Washington, DC; Department of Pediatrics, George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Washington, DC.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate, by using qualitative methods, perceptions about sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in African-American parents and how these influence decisions. STUDY DESIGN: Eighty-three mothers participated in focus groups or individual interviews. Interviews probed reasons for decisions about infant sleep environment and influences affecting these decisions. Data were coded, and themes were developed and revised in an iterative manner as patterns became more apparent. RESULTS: Themes included lack of plausibility, randomness, and vigilance. Many mothers believed that the link between SIDS and sleep position was implausible. Because the cause of SIDS was unknown, they did not understand how certain behaviors could be defined as risk factors. This confusion was reinforced by perceived inconsistency in the recommendations. Most mothers believed that SIDS occurred randomly ("God's will") and that the only way to prevent it was vigilance. CONCLUSIONS: Many African-American mothers may not understand the connection between SIDS and sleep behaviors or believe that behavior (other than vigilance) cannot affect risk. These beliefs, if acted on, may affect rates of safe sleep practices. Efforts to explain a plausible link between SIDS and safe sleep recommendations and to improve consistency of the message may result in increased adherence to these recommendations.

Caffeine intake during pregnancy, late miscarriage and stillbirth
Eur J Epidemiol. 2010 Mar 21. [Epub ahead of print]
Caffeine is a commonly consumed drug during pregnancy with the potential to affect the developing fetus. Findings from previous studies have shown inconsistent results. We recruited a cohort of 2,643 pregnant women, aged 18-45 years, attending two UK maternity units between 8 and 12 weeks gestation from September 2003 to June 2006. We used a validated tool to assess caffeine intake at different stages of pregnancy and related this to late miscarriage and stillbirth, adjusting for confounders, including salivary cotinine as a biomarker of smoking status. There was a strong association between caffeine intake in the first trimester and subsequent late miscarriage and stillbirth, adjusting for confounders. Women whose pregnancies resulted in late miscarriage or stillbirth had higher caffeine intakes (geometric mean = 145 mg/day; 95% CI: 85-249) than those with live births (103 mg/day; 95% CI: 98-108). Compared to those consuming < 100 mg/day, odds ratios increased to 2.2 (95% CI: 0.7-7.1) for 100-199 mg/day, 1.7 (0.4-7.1) for 200-299 mg/day, and 5.1 (1.6-16.4) for 300+ mg/day (P (trend) = 0.004). Greater caffeine intake is associated with increases in late miscarriage and stillbirth. Despite remaining uncertainty in the strength of association, our study strengthens the observational evidence base on which current guidance is founded.

Genome-Wide Screening for Risk Loci of Idiopathic Recurrent Miscarriage in a Han Chinese Population: A Pilot Study
Reprod Sci. 2010 Mar 19. [Epub ahead of print]
The etiology of recurrent miscarriage (RM) is extremely heterogeneous, including genetic, immunologic, anatomic, endocrinological, and infectious anomalies. About 50% of RM is unexplained or poorly understood, which is called idiopathic recurrent miscarriage (IRM). The primary aim of this study was to identify the genetic loci that might be susceptible to IRM. Forty-four Han Chinese patients with IRM during the first trimester of their pregnancies and 44 healthy sex- and ethnic-matched controls were enrolled in this study. A case-control and genome-wide study was performed and 430 polymorphic microsatellite markers were analyzed. Three loci, 6q27 (D6S446, P = .028), 9q33.1 (D9S1776, P = .037), and Xp22.11 (DXS1226, P = .008), significantly associated with IRM were found. This work identified 3 genetic regions that might harbor genes predisposed to IRM and provided new insights for future genetic and etiological study of IRM. Further study is required to confirm it.

Current Research
To review the research that NICHD & NIH fund in the areas of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death, SIDS, Stillbirth and related issues, go to NIH RePORTER (Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool Expenditures & Results), a searchable database of federally funded research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other research institutions.
NICHD has also put research into practice with the Back-to-Sleep Campaign. Data from the National Infant Sleep Position Study, developed by NICHD to examine sleep practices and factors associated with adherence to the back-to-sleep recommendations, are available from 1992 through 2008. The NISP study has conducted an annual telephone survey of nighttime caregivers of infants less than 8 months of age in 48 states to assess infant care practices and dissemination of the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation regarding infant sleep position and related care practices.
NICHD supports a Stillbirth Research Collaborative Network, consisting of five research centers around the country and an independent data center to collect and analyze statistics on stillbirth. The research and statistical centers collaborate with the NICHD to design studies to determine the causes of stillbirth. The network will also seek to develop standardized research guidelines for reporting and investigating stillbirths.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is an ongoing state and population-based surveillance system designed to collect information on self-reported maternal behaviors and experiences that occur around the time of pregnancy. PRAMS generates statewide estimates of perinatal health indicators among women who recently delivered a live infant. Each participating state uses a standardized data collection method developed by CDC. PRAMS staff in each state collect data with mail and telephone questionnaires. Because PRAMS data are state and population-based, findings are generalizable to an entire state's population of women delivering a live-born infant. Several states have included a question regarding sleep position in their surveys.
PRAMS data may be used by states to advocate for policy changes that will improve maternal and child health. Georgia used PRAMS data to influence a change in infant sleep position (2003). Read about this and other state strategies in the report, Using Surveillance To Promote Public Health: Examples from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS).
CDC has also supported the collection of information from death scene investigation as a way to learn more about Sudden Unexplained Infant Death. Studies have shown that since 1999, some deaths previously classified as SIDS are now classified as due to accidental suffocation or unknown/unspecified cause. This finding suggests that changes in reporting of cause of death may account for part of the decrease in SIDS rates. CDC launched an initiative in 2004 to improve the investigation and reporting of SUID, in collaboration with other federal agencies and organizations representing medical examiners, coroners, death scene investigators, emergency medical personnel, law enforcement officials, forensic nurses, SIDS researchers, infant death review experts, and parents who have experienced a death of an infant. As part of this effort, on March 1, 2006, CDC released the Sudden, Unexplained Infant Death Investigation (SUIDI) Reporting Form for state and local use in infant death scene investigations. CDC and the expert team also developed a comprehensive training curriculum and materials for infant death scene investigations.
Maternal and Child Health Bureau
As part of the MCHB Healthy Child Care America initiative, the American Academy of Pediatrics designed a study to test the effectiveness of their ongoing efforts to educate child care providers, health professionals, and others about safe sleep practices in child care settings. Four states (that met specific criteria) were selected (CA, LA, MT, PA) to receive state specific train-the-trainer instruction for the care of infants under the age of 12 months from Dr. Rachel Moon and colleagues. Once state regulatory agents, child care consultants and resource referral staff were trained, the regulatory agents visited the identified programs (unannounced) to observe the extent to which safe sleep practices and policies are in place. You can view the results of this study here.
National Center for Health Statistics
The National Center for Health Statistics, a division of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is the nation's principal health statistics agency. NCHS compiles statistical information to guide actions and policies to improve the health of people living in the United States.
Selected key findings for the most recent final mortality data for the United States include information on infant mortality. The findings come from information reported on death certificates completed by funeral directors, attending physicians, medical examiners, and coroners.
First Candle/SIDS Alliance
First Candle funds research at medical institutions throughout the U.S. and Canada to further the understanding of SIDS, Stillbirth and other causes of infant death. The medical research program is conducted under the auspices of the Medical and Scientific Adivisory Council, an internationally recognized body of senior level pediatric scientists.
CJ Foundation for SIDS
The CJ Foundation for SIDS funds research in the areas of SIDS and SUDC (Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood).

Scandal's Katie Lowes on marriage, plus news from HollywoodBy Gerri Miller

More Sweet Stuff
I like any opportunity to show how Jewish culture can be integrated with other cultures and make a beautiful hybrid. I don't know what culture should take responsibility for marshmallow Peeps, but I think you'll join me in enjoying Peeps for Passover. Yes! The 10 Plagues, acted out by PEEPS! (No, no, Peeps are not kosher for Passover–for most kashrut authorities, they aren't kosher at all, being made with gelatin–but Peeps as an artistic medium is clearly an idea whose time has come.) Ooh, there's also a photo Moses Parting the Red Sea–of Peeps. We are living in some interesting times!
Let me know if you figure out anything visually clever to do with the Passover fruit slice candy. (They are
my five-year-old's favorite candy, so probably we're just going to eat them–though I was thinking about how awesome they could look in a bento-style kosher-for-Passover preschool lunchbox.) Jenn Forman Orth, who posted this photo on Flickr, says she doesn't like them. (Is it bad that I hope you start debating the aesthetics of Easter and Passover candy in the comments?)
I was reading Hadassah Magazine today, and in a sidebar on page 23, they reported on a family who make matzah houses instead of gingerbread houses. It was pretty amusing–unfortunately I don't have a photo of Molly Zuckerman's house, but I found a similar one on the Chrismukkah site. I'm not sure if we'll do that this year. My son would love it but I think my mom would freak out. Though it would provide something good to do with the huge container of kosher-for-Passover confectioner's sugar and the Passover margarine that for some reason only comes in one-pound blocks this year.
This is fun, too: Jennifer 8. Lee, as part of promoting her book The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, has put up a blog page about Jews and Chinese Food. I see that she has up the recent Jewish Telegraphic Agency article about the rabbi doing kosher certification (hashgacha) in China, and my favorite Youtube video this past Christmas, Brandon Harris Walker's Chinese Food on Christmas.
Of course at this point my family is thinking, "That's fine about Christmas, but what are we going to eat on Passover?" We have a lot of good recipes on our site here at IFF. I think my favorite past article is Ay Vey, A Kosher for Passover Easter…With Recipes by Teresita Levy.

Getting sacked from "the blind side"
What makes the Bullock-James divorce unique from other celebrity splits is that they were in the process of adopting a 3 ½-month-old boy from New Orleans named Louis, whom Bullock will now raise as a single mom. James has said that losing Louis has "left a huge hole in [his] heart."
Interesting choice of words… NFI President Roland C. Warren often says that children have a hole in their soul in their shape of their dad, and when their dad is not able or willing to fill that hole it leaves wounds that aren't easily healed.
Little Louis will now join the ranks of the 24 million children growing up without their fathers, and, given the actions of the man who almost was his adoptive father, the hole in his heart could bring some unique pain.
New York Times columnist David Brooks addresses Bullock's simultaneous cinematic success and relational troubles, and more specifically what family breakdown says about our culture's priorities, in an article titled "The Sandra Bullock Trade." Brooks connects the dots between marital happiness and overall well-being – a connection that he says our culture doesn't make very well in how we educate our youth, where we focus more on preparing for careers than preparing to make social decisions.
NFI agrees with Brooks that we need to invest more time in preparing youth to make good decisions – and we think marriage is one of the most important ones. Thus we created Why Knot?™, a marriage-readiness program designed to prepare young men to make the decision to get married and subsequently to be good husbands to their wives (and by extension, good fathers to their kids). For pre-teen boys, we created Boyz2Dads™, an interactive CD-ROM that helps boys prepare to make good choices related to relationships and peer pressure.
Jesse James's behavior has not provided a good example of a husband and father to his children, but he seems to be on the right road toward fixing that by admitting his faults and seeking help. Meanwhile, NFI is working to promote a culture that prepares youth for the important responsibilities of being a husband and father – a mission we take seriously when so many children like Louis lack that role model. We don't want to see other families, as Brooks puts it, "getting sacked from the spiritual blind side."

It's so great to have Serena Williams back in the WTA mix not only because she scares the living hell out of most lady ballers but because of shots like this one. You can always count on ReRe to give good face. Or whatever you want to call that.
Seriously, whenever you're in a bad mood and you feel like smashing a racquet or shoving a few tennis balls down someone's unsuspecting throat, think of ReRe (you may already have) and these faces. You'll be happy you did.
More shots of ReRe from her Eastbourne presser after the jump. You won't be disappointed. BELIEVE ME.

Here's another example.
But in all seriousness, a merger would do what? A combined entity with say 35M customers would be the biggest provider of in home TV services It would have incredible leverage with content providers. No doubt a combined entity would reduce fees to content providers.
But as consumers is it even reasonable to expect that we get this "savings" in our bills? Fat chance. It will all go to the new combined entity.
This is NOT about consumers.
You`re right. A combined company would have 35M people by the shorthairs when it comes to raising rates. If you live out in the sticks, what would be your options?

Augusta, GA (Sports Network) - Adam Scott may have ended the Australian's
Masters drought with his thrilling playoff victory over Angel Cabrera, but a
more notorious winless streak lives on.
Tiger Woods made a fleeting run at his fifth green jacket late Sunday with
three birdies over the first six holes of his second nine, but he parred out
to finish tied for fourth with Aussie Marc Leishman at 5-under-par 283.
If it weren't for the now-infamous two-stroke penalty assessed for an illegal
second-round drop, the world No. 1 would have hypothetically finished in a tie
for third with another Australian, Jason Day.
Regardless, Tiger's major drought continues. He hasn't won a major
championship since the 2008 U.S. Open, a span of nearly five years, and he
hasn't donned the green jacket since 2005.
Still, Tiger had more than Rule 26-1 working against him this weekend. A
number of historical factors were at play:
* He had never won a major when trailing after 54 holes.
* No Masters champion has ever made an 8 on a hole, which Woods did on No. 15
thanks to the two-stroke penalty.
* Entering Sunday, only three times in the previous 22 years had the champion
come from outside the final group. Woods started his day in the fourth-to-last
Woods has now played 15 consecutive majors without a win, the longest drought
of his career. His next chance to stop the streak will be at the U.S. Open in
A European hasn't won the Masters since Spain's Jose Maria Olazabal in 1999.
Since then, the next-best finish by a European was Englishman Lee Westwood's
solo runner-up in 2010.
Twenty-eight Europeans teed it up this weekend attempting to end the 13-year
drought and the closest finisher was 23-year-old Dane Thorbjorn Olesen, who
tied for sixth at 4-under.
Westwood and Spain's Sergio Garcia, a first-round co-leader, tied for eighth
at minus-3.
The long putter has come under heavy scrutiny in recent months, and Masters
winner Adam Scott put the maligned club firmly in the spotlight Sunday.
Scott used his long putter to dispatch Angel Cabrera down the stretch, sinking
a 22-foot birdie putt on No. 18 in regulation and then nailing a 12-foot
birdie effort on the second playoff hole for his first major victory.
In November, the U.S. Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club
announced a proposed ban on the anchored putting stroke, which will go into
effect in 2016 if upheld. Golf's governing bodies are expected to announce
their decision this spring.
The issue has been divisive to say the least. Certain players, Tiger Woods
included, have come down in favor of the ban, while the PGA Tour and PGA of
America President Ted Bishop have been vocal opponents.
Since the announcement, certain anchorers, such as 2011 PGA Championship
winner Keegan Bradley, have been heckled by fans for their use of the long
putter, but their is no denying the club's effectiveness.
Four of the last six major winners have used a long putter: Bradley (2011 PGA
Championship); Webb Simpson (2012 U.S. Open), Ernie Els (2012 British Open
Championship) and now Scott at the 77th Masters.
Els' victory at the British Open was aided by Scott's poor putting, where he
bogeyed the final four holes, but now the Aussie has his own major, defeating
Cabrera and his traditional putter in the process.
Phil Mickelson sounded eager to get back to work and attack Augusta National
after his opening-round 71. But over the next three days, Lefty's scorecard
received the brunt of the punishment.
The three-time Masters champion failed to break par after Day 1, carding
rounds of 76, 77 and 73 to finish tied for 54th place at 9-over.
"I just had an off year," Mickelson said. "I don't know what to tell you. I
played poorly ... This is my favorite place to be, my favorite tournament, and
one I look forward to the day after it ends. And to perform like this is
disappointing. I'm disappointed in myself because I expect a lot more of
myself, out of my game and so forth this week."
The 9-over was Mickelson's worst score at the Masters since 2007, when he shot
11-over and tied for 24th.
Rory McIlroy has experienced an up-and-down start to 2013, and the 77th
Masters was no exception.
The Northern Irishman, who has dealt with a cut, a first-round match play
loss, and a withdrawal this year, turned in his best performance of the
weekend on Sunday, but still finished in a tie for 25th at 2-over 290.
McIlroy, who came into the season's first major with some momentum after a
runner-up result at the Texas Open, played his first two rounds at 2-under to
remain in the hunt. But after moving to 3-under early in the third round, he
stumbled down the stretch, carding three bogeys and a pair of doubles en route
to a 7-over 77.
"My misses have been wide and that's the thing that I need to sort out," said
McIlroy. "A perfect example is the 11th (Saturday). Instead of just missing it
in the right rough you miss it 20 yards in the trees and you don't have any
shot. If I can just sort out those misses so they're not quite as wide and
they're still in play, then that's what I need to do."
McIlroy partially sorted it out Sunday with four birdies against a lone bogey
for a 3-under 69, but the late surge proved little more than a moral victory
for the world No. 2.
"That's what this golf course is, it's frustrating," he admitted. "I know I've
played good enough golf here to win it at times, it's just a matter of
stringing it all together in one week."
Tianlang Guan, the youngest-ever Masters participant, earned the silver bowl
that goes to the tournament's low amateur.
The 14-year-old phenom, who qualified for the season's first major with a win
at the Asia-Pacific Amateur last year, officially wrapped up low-amateur
honors when he made the cut on the line Friday.
"It's not easy to play here, to make the cut and be low amateur," he said. "I
think I did a pretty good job this week and can't believe it's over."
Guan received a 1-stroke penalty for slow play during the second round and
needed a par from then-leader Jason Day later Friday to make it through to the
weekend. If Day had birdied the 18th, Guan would have been sent home with the
five other amateurs in the field.
Instead, Guan became the youngest player in tournament history to make
the cut, surpassing his first-round playing partner Matteo Manassero, who was
16 years, 11 months and 20 days old when he got through to the weekend in
Guan, who averages about 250 yards off the tee, carded a 77 on Saturday and a
75 Sunday to finish 72 holes alone in 58th place at 12-over-par 300.
The other amateurs in the field -- Steven Fox (22), T.J. Vogel (22), Nathan T.
Smith (34), Michael Weaver (22) and Alan Dunbar (22) -- are a combined 52
years older than the silver bowl winner.
A septuple bogey. That's a term even the most dedicated hackers find
Kevin Na, on the other hand, is no stranger to high scores.
The one-time PGA Tour winner, who infamously and unbelievably posted a 16 on
the ninth hole at the 2011 Texas Open, dropped three shots into Rae's Creek on
the par-3 12th at Augusta National en route to a septuple-bogey 10.
But he wasn't the only one.
2012 champion Bubba Watson also carded a 10 on the hole. All three of Na's
splashes were from the tee box, but Watson took a drop after his first shot
found the drink. Still, the left-hander couldn't avoid Rae's Creek with his
third, and his fifth landed in a bunker before his pitch rolled through the
green and into the water. He played out from the sand with his eighth and then
got up-and-down for the septuple.
Surprisingly, 10 isn't the highest score at Augusta's par-3 12th. That
distinction belongs to Tom Weiskopf, who carded a 13 on the hole during the
first round of the 1980 Masters.

2006 US Open.

WHEELING - Call Saturday night's matchup with Linsly a swing game for Wheeling Central.
Coming off a humbling loss at Madonna a week earlier, another one could have sent the Maroon Knights stumbling downward with what lies ahead on a daunting schedule.
Faced with that reality, Wheeling Central (3-1) shot to a 20-0 halftime lead and held off a serious Linsly (2-2) charge for a 26-21 victory at Wheeling Island Stadium.

''We're not used to what happened last week,'' Maroon Knights coach Mike Young said. ''It was a great win for us morale-wise. It was a great win for us in terms of identity.
''I think we may have made a little bit of a statement that we're not down and out ... completely. Central's coming to play and I say that with a lot of pride and a lot of heart for the kids that we have and the coaches we have.''
That was evident from the outset against the Cadets.
Leading 7-0 by virtue of a 1-yard touchdown run by quarterback Parker Henry, the Maroon Knights tacked on a pair of scores in the final 1:33 of the second quarter for that 20-point bulge.
Henry capped a 10-play, 53-yard drive with a beautiful play-action touchdown pass to Joe John from the 4. Freshman quarterback Isaac Rine set up the score by lofting a pass down the sideline to Henry for a 22-yard gainer to the 5.
A quick three-and-out by the Cadets set the Knights up at their 49. Henry pitched the ball to C.J. Burch going right, but he pulled up and found freshman receiver John Burkhalter behind the defense for a score.
''The timing of those are crucial,'' Young said. ''Burkhalter did a great job of catching the ball and C.J. laid it right out there.
''Those are momentum gainers if you can get them, and we needed them. We needed the momentum down the stretch.''
Did they ever.
The Cadets awoke from a first-half slumber that saw them fumble five times (lost one), many on snapping issues, and gain 69 yards.
Linsly came out of the locker room and went 64 yards in nine plays, the end result being a 2-yard Chimechi Oparanozie touchdown run to get with 20-7.
The Cadets went right down the field after forcing a Maroon Knights punt, with Oparanozie going in again, this time from 15 yards. One play earlier on fourth-and-4, quarterback Jameson Murray found Oparanozie out of the backfield for 5 yards.
''We played a very poor first half, but I don't want to take anything away from Wheeling Central,'' Linsly coach B.J. Depew said. ''They came out on fire, believing they could win.
''For whatever reason, we didn't. I feel that we weren't prepared to play and that responsibility falls on me.''
The Maroon Knights had one more big play in them offensively, as Burch took a handoff right up the middle for what turned out to be the game-winning score from 51 yards to put his team ahead 26-14.
''Wheeling Central can do it both ways,'' Depew said. ''They can move the ball methodically when they have to and they have the weapons to break it.
''Whether it's a coverage breakdown or a missed assignment here, that's all it takes. When they are sharp and operating the way they were, they take advantage of those little mistakes.''
Oparanozie, who led everyone with 138 yards rushing on 23 carries, went in from the 5 to get the Cadets within six. Linsly recovered a Central fumble, but Brian Campbell brought down Murray for a 3-yard loss on fourth-and-8.
''It was a great test. We moved some kids around and played some younger kids,'' Young said. ''We made some adjustments in terms of what we expect from them.
''I say that because we had some kids going both ways that weren't going both ways (Saturday). Based on how we played, it is what we've got do.''
Henry, who became physically ill at one point but didn't miss much time, rushed a team-leading 89 yards. Burch came up with 88. Burkhalter had a pair of catches for an even 100 yards.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - A St. Louis County eating disorder treatment center will pay $140,000 to settle claims that it denied treatment of a woman because she is HIV positive.
The Justice Department announced settlement of the case on Wednesday. Former Nurse Susan Gibson filed a complaint with the Justice Department against Castlewood Treatment Center. She applied to the center in 2010 seeking treatment for anorexia but was rejected.
The American Civil Liberties Union says the clinic falsely claimed its license prohibited the facility from treating people with a blood-borne infection.
Castlewood denied discriminating, saying officials at the center though she would receive more appropriate treatment at an in-patient facility because of her HIV status.
The center will pay Gibson $115,000, and pay $25,000 to the Justice Department in civil penalties.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Part of the fun of the farmers' market is getting to know the farmers.
It's also a good opportunity to verify the freshness and safety of produce.
Ask how long they've been farming? Where is the farm located? And, when is the produce harvested?
The Alliance For Food and Farming says ask vendors to clarify and confirm statements like "certified organic" and "pesticide free."
Ask what food safety precautions take place on the farm and when they transport the goods.
Market sure items like eggs and meat are properly chilled at the market.
And, bag meat separately from produce to avoid cross contamination.
Once you get home, wash your hands with water water and soap before and after preparing fresh produce.
Wash fruits and vegetables under running water before eating, cutting or cooking.
The Food and Drug Administration does not recommend washing produce with soap, detergent or commercial washes.
And, refrigerate cut or peeled fruits and veggies within two hours of prep.
Also, you should ask whether the milk or cheese is pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria.
Unpasteurized milk can pose risks, especially for children, older adults and pregnant women.

Air cargo security to be a key focus of annual NITL conference
November 08, 2010
In an effort to involve more air cargo players in the "security dialogue," the National Industrial Transportation League has invited some key players to participate in its annual conference next week.
"Anyone connected with air freight movements should be concerned over the new plans that government and industry may be considering to counter the attempted terrorist attacks of the past week," said NITL spokesmen. "This is precisely why attending the League's 103rd Annual Meeting/ TransComp Exhibition, November 14-16, 2010 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL will help prepare these professionals to meet this latest challenge."
For the first time the League and the Express Logistics Association (XLA) are preparing a special Air Cargo Pavilion on the trade show floor. Appearing in the pavilion are:
AirNet Systems, Inc.?Alaska Airlines, Inc.?American Airlines Cargo?MNX?Purolator USA, Inc.?Red Logistics Corp.?Sky Courier, Inc.?Southwest Airlines Cargo?XLA.
"It is vital that more supply chain partners become aware of the role the League plays in security," said Richard Macomber, chairman of the NITL air cargo committee.
According to spokesmen, this is a special opportunity to talk with the professionals who will also be addressing this special challenge.
Additionally on the trade show floor NITL will have a special workshop set for Monday, November 15 titled, "TSA Approach to Meeting the 9/11 Act's Air Cargo Security Rules." TSA officials, Douglas Foster and Gary Lupinacci, will be on hand to walk shippers through the current security requirements and answer questions on what may be in store for all air cargo movements.

Regulators Forcing Banks to Get Back to Basics
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 360 Visits
We know the banks and related mortgage service organizations have been under fire for their role in the financial system's near meltdown and ensuing foreclosure fiasco. JPMorgan Chase's CEO Jamie Dimon reportedly owned up to taking some responsibility, saying "Some of the mistakes were egregious, and they're embarrassing . . . but we made a mistake, and we're going to pay for that mistake." The 50 state attorney generals and the SEC, among others, are pushing for changes in how the banks and services operate, and there's little doubt changes are coming.

The common domesticated apple was originally classified as Pyrus malus when the scientific Latin-based binomial system of naming species was first introduced in the 18th century. By the 19th century, the apple was re-classified as Malus domestica, but the term Pyrus malus is still often used in ingredient lists when apple extracts are used in skin care products. The apple has been a source of food and healing products since the dawn of human civilization. Botanists believe that all of the current cultivars (or types) of apples grown today -- which number at least 7,500 named types of apples – originated in the European crab apple tree. Today, apples are the single greatest fruit crop grown in the world, produced for its healthful food and medicinal qualities.
Since ancient times, the apple has held special symbolism throughout many cultures. The apple was blamed for the original fall of Adam and Eve and their eviction from the Garden of Eden. The Greeks used the concept of a golden apple as the cause of the Trojan War -- a young prince, named Paris, from that city-state was asked to award a golden apple to the most beautiful woman at a wedding. Still, despite such an occasionally troublesome reputation, the apple has been honored and treasured for thousands of years. Alexander the Great, during his invasion of India, took the time to collect samples of dwarf apple trees and send them back to his teacher, Aristotle, in Greece. Although native to the Old World, the apple tree was one of the first species introduced into the Americas by European settlers. John Chapman – known by his nickname "Johnny Appleseed" – famously spent the last years of his life planting apple trees in the Midwest part of the United States. The Welsh, in the 19th century, are credited with being the originators of the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
The healthy benefits of apples are indeed impressive. Eaten raw or cooked, apples provide many factors which support or strengthen human health. In the field of skin and hair care, however, the constituents of apples also provide some important benefits. Apple extract has been studied and shown to provide great antioxidant effects. The phenolic compounds present in apple extract, particularly from apple seeds, have been shown to scavenge free radicals in the skin tissues, protecting against premature aging. There are also indications that these compounds work to actively promote cell health by activating "early cell death" of cancerous tissue. Although proper use of sun screen should be a part of everyone's health care regime, Pyrus malus extracts in skin care products can potentially provide a healing benefit for skin that has been exposed to excessive amounts of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Apple seed oil is also a source of beneficial skin care. Sometimes called calocarpum mamossum or sapuyul, the oil is rich in essential fatty acids and proteins, providing an effective emollient for skin tissues. The moisturizing qualities of apple seed oil makes it an excellent choice for all skin types, but is particularly effective for dry skin that has been subject to damage from the elements. Apple seed oil, in its pure form, has a pleasant, almond-like aroma.
Unfortunately, apples can present a potential danger to some people. Individuals with a northern European ancestry can be susceptible to what is known as "birch-apple syndrome." This means that such individuals, who are also allergic to birch tree pollen, can also have an allergic reaction to apple proteins. Since apples are also closely related to pears, some individuals with ancestry from the Mediterranean region can also have, or develop, an allergy to apples. Furthermore, apple seeds contain a small amount of a chemical, amygdalin, which is a form of cyanide; the amount of amygdalin in apple seed oil is so minute, however, that this does not present a real danger but, in some individuals, can cause irritation. Anyone using skin or hair care products containing ingredients derived from Pyrus malus or apple seed oil who develops symptoms of redden, inflamed or itching skin or, in particular, finds any difficulty in breathing should immediately cease use of that product and contact their physician. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding infants should discuss use of products containing Pyrus malus compounds.

Something tells me Anastasia Rodionova won't be getting an invite to the next girls night at Svetlana Kuznetsova's crib.
The 2-time Grand Slammer defended herself over Twitter after refusing to shake hands with Rodio at the net. The Aussie defeated Sveta 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 in the Wimbledon second round.
Rodio, who has a reputation for on-court theatrics and was defaulted from a match at Cincinnati in 2007 for unsportsmanlike conduct, apparently questioned a ton of line calls and took a strangely timed medical break for her hip during the match. She was surprised but not bothered by Sveta's non-action:
I don't know what happened, I guess Svetlana was disappointed. It doesn't really bother me. I go out there and try my best, every single match that I play.And what about suggestions the injury was not as severe as she claimed?
I'm happy that I won the match and I'm looking forward to my next round. I played really well and I served really well. I felt really good on the court. It can't even compare to my first round.
I strained a muscle a bit on my hip at the beginning of the second set. I'm fine. I have a bit of history there and I wanted to make sure it was nothing serious.It's one of the biggest slaps in the face to refuse to shake your opponent's hand after a match so Sveta must've been seething with anger over Rodio's behavior. I mean if Sveta, who has a great reputation on the WTA tour and with fans as being uber-friendly, refuses to shake your hand you know it's pretty bad.

Many people have committed to a daily regimen for healthy skin, understanding just how important regular is for treating problems and maintaining health. However, many of us still neglect the lips, not realizing that the lips have special needs. MD Formulations Lip Products were developed for full protection of the lips, including sun protection with a broad spectrum sunscreen. Lips do not tan but they do burn and since the lips do not possess pigments which naturally protect the rest of the skin on our bodies against sun damage, the lips are especially vulnerable to problems such as lip lines and discoloration. MD Formulations Lip Products minimize the damaging effects of the sun by shielding the skin with an SPF 20 formulation.
In addition to providing sun protection, MD Formulations Lip Products contain rich hydrators which bathe the lips in moisture. The lips tend to be very susceptible to drying and MD Formulations Lip Products conditions lips that are chapped and cracking while also helping to prevent further drying. MD Formulations Lip Products provide unbeatable protection against the drying and damaging natural elements. MD Formulations Lip Products should be used every day to promote softer, healthier and more supple lips.
Incorporating MD Formulations Lip Products into a daily regimen will help ensure healthy skin on the entire face. MD Formulations Lip Products can be used under lip color for added protection. They can be reapplied throughout the day for additional and continual protection of the lips.
MD Formulations Lip Balm provides long-lasting essential moisture for the healing of lips that are dry, chapped and cracked. The balm is rich in the nourishing oils of both shea butter and sunflower seeds for natural hydration and emollients. MD Formulations Lip Balm can also be used as a preventive so that healthier lips do not become dry and cracked. The formulation contains botanical extracts that soothe and protect the delicate skin of the lips.
MD Formulations Lip Balm provides a refreshing, cooling sensation with both peppermint and tea tree extracts. It glides on the lips and instantly provides relief from tightness and cracking. Added Vitamin E nourishes lips in need of extra care. Vitamin E is also a natural antioxidant which provides additional protection against the elements, even the sun.
MD Formulations Lip Balm offers an SPF 20 formula from several different high quality sunscreens. This ensures hours of protection against sun exposure.

Showtime executive hints at 'Dexter' spinoff
Published: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 3:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 3:36 p.m.
Showtime's president is hinting that a "Dexter" spin-off may be forthcoming.
David Nevins said Tuesday that Showtime has signed a two-year deal with Scott Buck, the executive producer of "Dexter." The serial killer drama starring Michael C. Hall is in its eighth and final season.
Showtime says Buck will be working with the premium cable channel on several new projects.
At a Television Critics Association meeting, Nevins was asked if there will be a follow-up series to "Dexter." In response, the Showtime executive noted the deal with producer Buck and suggested that reporters draw their own conclusion.
Asked later about the possibility, Nevins acknowledged that he dropped a "tease" about a spinoff, but said that for now the focus is on a satisfying end to "Dexter."

Read on to see how much this DIY dapper Deco wedding cost and details about their DIY decorations. Please note that costs change as the years go by, and prices are subject to change. This is just one couple's breakdown to give you a rough estimate on how much a wedding like this may cost you.
Our total cost came out to ~$22,000. This was mostly due to the fact that we had a plated meal and delicious french wine/champagne (the groom insisted :) ). Without the extra food costs this wedding could've been done for much less. Here is the breakdown of the DIY elements:
Dress: $900 materials from Mood
15 Table Runners: $55 for material & $15 for tassles
15 Cigar Boxes: $30
Paper Flowers: maybe $5-$7 per box for supplies, so about $105 total
Flower Chandelier: no more than $5 total
Book, Music & Map Flowers: nothing (note the book page flowers were both English and French to include Romaric and his family)
Wreathes on the Stockroom and Mahler doors: book and music paper flowers about $5 each
Jars: collected and cleaned for free
Pre-filled Votives Spray Painted Gold: 5 boxes @ $5/box

One time you posted in NETJIOT saying you did something so bad you couldn't tell anyone about it, and that by the time you could it probably wouldn't be cool, I never got a follow up, what happened?
The fact that you recall that is amazing. I'm never putting it down in text.
evidence based reasoning doesn't exist.
I'm pretty sure I'm better at logic than most people.
The interesting thing about this conversation is that no matter how much time you spend researching the context of hearsay or how many times I laugh at your posts, the truth will not be affected. We subject ourselves to critical thinking or we exclude ourselves from being taken seriously in the conversation. This thread is about the here and now but you'd rather defend what was once operational as opposed to recognizing how detrimental it is now. I lose more faith in humanity when I see the amount of misdirected energy you've placed into defending such things when you could be pushing humanity forward.

Medical Malpractice
When someone is injured or dies in a medical setting--either because of a medical professional's actions or because of their inaction--a patient or his or her family will often consider a medical malpractice lawsuit. A medical malpractice attorney can review the specific facts in your situation and help determine if you have a viable medical malpractice lawsuit.
Doctors, nurses, dentists, technicians, hospitals, and hospital workers can all commit medical malpractice, according to the American Bar Association.
Do You Have a Medical Malpractice Case?
Medical malpractice is a form of personal injury law, and you'll want to be represented by either medical malpractice lawyers or personal injury attorneys who have experience handling medical malpractice claims.
At a basic level, you must prove two things to be successful in a medical malpractice case:
- The doctor or medical professional treating you made a mistake
- You were harmed as a result of that mistake
In determining whether the medical professional made a mistake, the court will look at the medical standard of care. In other words, what is the generally accepted method of treating patients in your area with similar medical problems? For example, the standard of care for a 90-year-old dementia patient in California would not necessarily be the same standard of care as for a 45-year-old dementia patient in Florida.
Not only must you show that the doctor's act or omission was a mistake, but you must also prove that this mistake injured you. In other words, you probably do not have a valid medical malpractice claim if your doctor treated you according to the medical standard of care in your area. And you probably would not have a valid medical malpractice claim if you were not harmed by the doctor's treatment, even if it did violate the standard of care.
How Long Do You Have to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
Every state has a statute of limitations, or time period in which you can file a civil lawsuit against another party, such as a doctor or nurse. Your medical malpractice attorney can tell you the statute of limitations in your state.
If you and your medical malpractice lawyer are unable to negotiate a settlement with the person at fault in your medical malpractice case, you must file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out. Once the statute of limitations passes, you will be barred from filing a lawsuit and recovering any money.

Orion TeleTrack GoTo ?
Posted 14 January 2009 - 10:58 PM
Orion TeleTrack GoTo Altazimuth
Might be a fun mount for my TV-60 and 76. The 15lb weight rating seems a bit optimistic, but it can be mounted on any tripod with a 3/8" threaded post. I don't think the TV-60 will give it any trouble, but the TV-76 can weigh over 10lbs depending on accessories. I'll have it mounted on a Oberwerk wooden tripod or Bogan 3026 as the tripod that comes with it looks a bit lightweight in build.
Anybody using this new goto offering and do you think it can handle a TV-76?
Thanks in advance!
Bueller? ...Bueller?

The TeleTrack will easily carry the 60mm, but as you think, not the 76mm. The 15lb rating is overblown. I had a 12" long AT66ED which, with accessories, weighed about 5lbs, and mine carried it fine. Tried to put a C5 variant (Omni XLT127) on it, at 8lbs with accessories, and it complained.
Maybe they beefed it up some when they converted it to GOTO, but somehow I doubt it.
And lastly, the supplied tripod is terrible. Very light and weak.

The teletrack is limited to objects 60deg above the horizon. That seems somewhat useless IMO...
That was for tracking, and that was the old non-GOTO version.
Posted 15 January 2009 - 11:02 AM
Weight limit is 9lbs. And it is still limited to -15deg to +60deg for tracking, although you can use it manually by push button above 60deg. Think I'd have to recommend the SLT mount over this one after all.
Posted 15 January 2009 - 11:15 AM
it is not clear why it is a default or by how much if any it could be changed.
I remember I looked into the none go-to version and tech support warned that it could not go over 60deg. As far as I can tell, mechanically it doesn't look redesigned.
Are you saying that you have used this past 60deg without issue?
Also, as to the 15lb weight limit:
In the manual it says
"The TeleTrack AZ-G Altazimuth GoTo Mount is designed for small telescopes, spotting scopes and cameras. The weight of the instrument supported by the mount should not exceed 9 lbs. The mount will also
work best with short tube optical systems no longer than 15" (380mm)."
Then in the description in the link provided by the OP, it says:
"The affordable TeleTrack AZ-G is an ultra-portable GoTo mount designed for telescopes weighing less than 10 lbs."
Then in the product specs it says:
Weight rating: 15lbs
LOL again maybe I'm missing something here?

I think I'll pass on this offering as I cannot justify buying a mount suitable for only one of my scopes.
Posted 15 January 2009 - 05:59 PM
Just looking at the photo of it in the Orion catalogue, it doesn't appear to have enough bottom clearance to go past 60 degrees. I agree that it makes it pretty much useless.
The unit will point higher than 60 degrees, but I don't know if it will track. All you have to do is turn the dovetail mount upside down ( a counterweight would help too). I've got a link with all the things I did to make the original (non-goto) unit more usable here:
The 50mm finder with a digital slr is a nice combo with this mount. I also rigged a RA circle and use Astromist on my pocket PC to do push-to's.
All alt-az mounts have a hole near zenith due to near-infinite drive rates in azimuth, and I'm not sure how big the Celestron hole is.
Have fun,
Posted 15 January 2009 - 09:18 PM
My TT1 will manual slew via the HC up to 90 deg and beyond. The auto tracking stops at 60 deg.
Exactly what mine did.

Nope, my AT66ED would clear it okay, if you used the L-bracket, and I suspect a 90mm Mak would too. Not much of anything else, though.
Posted 16 January 2009 - 08:08 AM
The mount itself if very solid and track very well with my 6+ lb Lunt solar scope. The arm and az hub are cast aluminum, use roler thrust bearings, and the main alt and az gears are 3" dia aluminum. I agree the tripod is the weak link. Set short, it works well enought but extended to full length it is too wobbly. Either way, I believe it to be superior to the Teletrack or Cube.
Posted 16 January 2009 - 09:58 AM
I checked, and the Celestron has a dovetail mount, so it sounds like a better option (save the 60mm as a guidescope). Do you know if this mount can be used in equatorial mode? It looks like the drive unit fits into some sort of socket in the tripod, but there is a tightening screw in the center of the tripod. Do you know if the screw is a standard size (usually 3/8", or 10mm)? Do you think the mount could be used on another tripod with the proper attaching screw?

... I imagine that with some ingenuity you could rig up a wedge to run it polar mode..., but this isn't really a mount suited to this use...
After thinking about it, I agree with you for a variety of reasons. The combination of balance, clearance, and moment arm loading the ALT bearing would probably not make it suitable for polar setup. I was hoping to make it by the telescope store this weekend to look at one, but didn't have the time. Maybe next weekend...
Posted 18 March 2009 - 03:34 PM
I got a Celestron 60SLT for $270, kept the mount and tossed the 60mm refractor. I believe these are superior to the Teletrack. ...
OK, I bought one, but it will be this weekend before I can try it out due to my film project.
We'll see how it does,

Well, I purchase the Orion TeleTrack GoTo but haven't tried it yet
Now that you have it, might as well use it. May still be a nice mount for your Lunt scope. I thought there was a way around the 60 degree limit but forgot how and where I read it.
I'am still interested in that setup or something similar now that I have my TV-60 setup for Ha views and desire push free tracking.

Cross-Flow Heat Exchanger
Application ID: 173
This model solves the fluid flow and heat transfer in a micro heat exchanger made of stainless steel. These types of heat exchangers are found in lab-on-chip devices in biotechnology and micro reactors, for example for micro fuel cells. The model takes heat transferred through both convection and conduction into account.
A square cross-section is used for the fluid channels instead of circular cross-sections, often used in micro heat exchangers. The heat exchanger is of cross-flow configuration and can consist of about 20 unit cells. Because the unit cells are almost identical except for edge effects in the outer cells, you can restrict the model to a single unit cell.

The last matchup at Williams Arena between Iowa State and Minnesota ended in a most peculiar way. On Jan. 4, 1992, Justus Thigpen putback his own missed shot in the final seconds to secure the victory (76-73) after the Cyclones were awarded the ball underneath their own basket when a Gopher inbound pass hit the Williams Arena scoreboard.

Iowa State Ends Home Slate With Win Over Drake
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
Pitchers Escape Early
Both Iowa State's Katie Johnson and Drake's Jordan Gronewold had to work themselves out of early jams on Tuesday to keep the scoreboard at 0-0. Drake's Megan Sowa had her first of three doubles on the day with a shot to left and Laura Brewer followed that with a walk. However, Johnson and the Cyclones made sure that was all it came to as back-to-back outs were recorded to get out of the jam.
Brittany Gomez led off the ISU first with a single, but Gronewold was able to retire three in a row to keep ISU off the board.
Courntey Wood got a lead-off walk to start the top of the second, but Johnson took over as she then retired the side with three consecutive strikeouts, three of Johnson's four punchouts on the day.
Singles by Aly Cappaert and Sara Davison got the Cyclones two runner on in the bottom of the second. A Sara Rice fielder's choice put runners on the corners for Liana Henry, but she flew out to end the inning.
Iowa State's Big Third Inning
Drake scored the first run of the game as Brewer put up a sacrifice fly that scored Amy Pierce and made it 1-0 Bulldogs.
ISU got right to business as Gomez and Sarah Hawryluk led off with back-to-back infield singles. After Lexi Slater moved over the runners with a sacrifice bunt, the stage was set for Hartman. Though Hartman, who was hitting .522 in her last 15 games, only got one hit on the day it was a big one. The freshman catcher smashed a Gronewold pitch over Sarah Ryan in center and to the wall, bringing home both ISU runners and making it 2-1 Cyclones.
Iowa State was not done as Cappaert got her second hit of the day with a base hit up the middle that brought home Hartman and made it 3-1 Cyclones. A Spendlove base knock helped put runners on second and third with two outs. Davison and the Cyclones went squeeze play on her at-bat, as her bunt was directed well enough to bring home Cappaert and make the score 4-1 ISU.
Drake Gets Back In the Game
The Bulldogs drew back-to-back walks via Liz Buck and Kaitlyn Finneran with one out. After a Pierce fly out, Sowa was left the task of getting Drake back in contention and she did so with a double over Henry in left and just fair as well to bring home both Bulldog runners and make it 4-3 ISU.
The Cyclones got a lead-off double from Henry to start proceedings in the bottom of the fourth. Though Gomez struck out next, a passed ball by Bulldogs catcher Courtney Wood allowed Henry to advance to third. That proved crucial as a Hawryluk chopper back to the circle was thrown over first by Drake relief pitcher Rebekah Schmidt and helped Henry score and make it 5-3 Cyclones.
Spendlove Goes Deep
It was a rare day in that the wind was blowing in from left, as opposed to its usual out to left. It benefitted the Cyclones in that it kept a few big Drake flies in the park, but also hurt the Cyclone right-handed hitters in their efforts to go yard.
Spendlove was not one to be affected as the junior first baseman led off the bottom of the fifth with a high and deep home run to right field to make it 6-3 Cyclones.
Slater Makes History
In the bottom of the sixth, Slater got her second hit of the game with a double to left-center that fortuitously landed inbetween two Drake outfielder. She was able to slide in just under the tag at second for her 16th double of the season. That tied ISU's single-season doubles record with Lisa Leinen, who also had 16 two-baggers in 1989.
Slater's double marked ISU's 73rd double as a team, breaking the record of 72 doubles set by the 1988 Cyclones.
On Deck
Iowa State will close out the season with a three-game series at Kansas. The first game will be Friday at 5 p.m. with Saturday's game taking place at 2 p.m. and Sunday's at noon.
