OMG! This place of David and Jennifer's was absolutely amazing. It's tucked away on a hill and has a pond with ducks just out front and a to die for ocean view steps from the private door entrance. Very nice room very clean and catered to from fresh pastries chef made daily and homemade yoghurt . Who makes home made yoghurt? I wanted to tell all that reads this that Arbor House is well worth it. It's warm and cozy, just down the road to shops and restaurants. But who needs it when Jennifer places cookies and candles on your table in your room upon your return all nice and refreshed. It's like having a cleaning chef ghost you never see and she is so delightful and loves by far what she does. I have never written a review of any sort until now. Phoenix. Surprise Arizona. 2014 happy holidays in its true form when you stay here.

We stayed at the beautiful Arbor House last weekend for our wedding in Salem, MA. Jennifer greeted us when we drove up and gave us the tour. The private B&B is attached to the main house but has it's own separate entrance. The suite was completely clean and warmly decorated, we felt immediately comfortable. The food more than exceeded our expectations with 3 cheese rustic spinach tarts, homemade granola, breads and snickerdoodle cookies. Because the second night we stayed was our wedding night Jennifer came in while we were off saying our vows, cleaned the suite, brought us a bottle of champagne and made it very romantic inside. The next morning's food was even more amazing with cherry ginger scones (which turned out to be my favorite thing!), fresh strawberries and maple cream. You could tell Jennifer really cares about her guests and loves to provide delicious, wholesome food for them. We will definitely tell other people about this place and probably stay there again! Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend glorious!

My wife and I stay at B&B's most often for our weekend get-aways. This was one of our most enjoyable properties to stay. The hospitality, service, and accommodations, including food, far exceeded our expectations. Very quaint location and very convenient to everything. We especially liked the privacy of the room, with it being separate and removed from the main house. Dave and Jennifer were great hosts and made us feel welcomed. Their willingness to help with finding things to do and places to eat/dine was wonderful. We are looking to returning to Arbour House again very soon.

My daughter and I stayed here for one night at the end of June and quickly wished we could have stayed for a week. This is a wonderful B&B, perfect in every way. It's like having your own lovely apartment in the middle of a quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach rocks. Beautifully decorated with private driveway and separate entrance, as well as a private courtyard. Jennifer and Dave have thought of everything you might possibly need or want and are the warmest hosts you will ever meet. Jennifer had contacted me before our trip to find out about any food allergies or aversions. The breakfast she provided was so delicious--lovely fritattas, yogurt, yummy jams, bread, mango slices and blueberries, and the best homemade granola I've ever tasted! The best thing was that we could eat at whatever time was convenient for us; she left detailed directions for how to heat the fritattas in the toaster oven. There was also a microwave, coffee maker, and electric tea kettle. AC, ceiling fan, skylight that opens provided lots of cooling options, private patio was beautiful. Dave showed us how everything worked (electronics, media, wifi) and they gave us great dinner recommendations and helpful directons for arriving and leaving the area, as well as suggestions for stops along our route. There was some wine and lovely vermont cheddar and crackers for an everning snack, a selection of juices too. Truly you will feel well cared for at Arbor House! The bed was comfortable, the room was comfortable, it was a relaxing and most lovely place to stay, can't imagine staying anywhere else in Marblehead. I would HIGHLY recommend Arbor House, you won't be disappointed, and it will be a pleasure to meet Jennifer and Dave and enjoy staying in their beautiful neighborhood.

Took a mid week trip to Marblehead for a mini-solo-vaca. After looking at a few other B&B's in the area I chose Arbor House because of the privacy and location. After contacting the hosts I was very pleased to hear how nice and kind they were and I was even more excited once I arrived. The room is beautiful with all the amenities I could have imagined and very clean. The stay was exactly what I needed and I left with a full stomach after tasting all the yummy food they put out for you to enjoy at your own leisure. I will definitely be back!

FOREST PARK, Ga. - Christmas came early for a Forest Park family this past year. Fourteen-year-old Deandre Balfour received a life-saving heart transplant. Doctors at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center performed Balfour's surgery.
Balfour and his parents were overjoyed and said that for the first time, the 14-year-old will be able to life to the fullest.
"I've been waiting for this for a real long time, and my mom and dad they know this is the right heart for me," said Balfour.
Just 14 months after being placed on the list for an organ transplant, Balfour's parents got the call last week.
"I was so happy, I went to calling everybody I was so happy. I woke up Andre, he was asleep. I said, 'Oh thank you! I can't believe the time has come.' We waited for 14 years for this to happen," said Balfour's mother, Deidra.
The Balfours got word of a donor match on the very day the teen predicted he would get a new heart, December 13.
"Thirteen sounded like yeah, that's a good day!" recalled the teen.
The youngest of five children, Deandre Balfour was born with congenital heart defects and underwent five heart surgeries during the first 13 years of his life.
"He's never complained, about anything. Through five open heart surgeries he never complained," said Balfour's father, Sergeant Irvin Balfour.
In 2009, Deandre's father transferred to Fort McPherson because of its proximity to the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center.
That September, doctors at the pediatric cardiac center placed the teen on the heart transplant waiting list.
One week after his heart transplant, hospital staff presented Deandre with a heart transplant bead for his Beads of Courage necklace.
With help from his mom, the 14-year-old added the heart shaped bauble to the necklace, each bead a record of the many tests and procedures, big and small he's had during his young life.
The operation was a success, and now the Forest Park teen is eager to make up for all he's missed out on all these years.
Deandre said he already knows the first thing he's going to do when he's back on his feet.
"I'm going to play me some basketball," said the teen.
Deandre's parents said he is their miracle.
"This is the best Christmas ever. I don't even want anything. This is my Christmas," said Deidra Balfour.
The teen's parents said they are extremely grateful to the organ donor and that individual's family for giving their son such a precious gift.
The family also had high praise for the staff at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, their friends and family who have been with them every step of the way.

The LeMoyne (Syracuse, N.Y.) men's lacrosse team capped off a stellar season with an 18-6 victory over St. Michael's College in Burlington, Vt. Saturday.
The Dolphins are the No. 2 ranked team in Division II in New York State and finish the season 10-1 atop the Northeast-10 Conference and 13-1 overall.
Five Capital District players start for LeMoyne, who will host a conference semifinal against third-seeded Merrimack in the semifinal round of the conference playoffs Friday.
In the regular season the Dolphins defeated Merrimack 16-9 on March 25th in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse.
Area players include Mike Jenkins and Brian Rogers of Clifton Park, Chris Breiner of Troy, Max Wagner of Delmar and Michael Chambers of Niskayuna.
Saturday's victory guaranteed a home game for LeMoyne in the semifinal.
The Dolphins trailed 1-0 before striking for six-straight goals on the way to a 9-2 victory over the Purple Eagles.
Jenkins, a sophomore attack, scored two goals and two assists.
Jenkins has had four goals and six assists in three games. He scored three goals in a 21-2 triumph over Southern New Hampshire College last Saturday.
Chambers, a junior defender, transferred to LeMoyne after playing two years at Onondaga Community College and has started in every game.
"Historically, LeMoyne is known as a powerhouse in lacrosse," Chambers said of his decision to continue his career in Syracuse. "Expectations here are always very high and every year LeMoyne has its eyes set on a National Championship."
The Dolphins are the defending champions.
LeMoyne began the season with two losses in scrimmages on January 25, dropping a 10-9 decision to Hofstra, followed by a 15-4 defeat at the hands of the Syracuse Orangeman in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse.
The Dolphins conference opener was a 12-6 victory over Assumption (MA.) at home. They followed that victory with eight consecutive more.
On April 5 LeMoyne suffered its lone defeat of the season to Adelphi, 13-11. The Dolphins went on to roll off their final four games of the season in winning fashion.
Jenkins has 23 goals and a team-high 27 assists. He's had two goals and four assists in three games and three goals in a 21-2 triumph over New Hampshire last Saturday.
His biggest goal of the season, however, was when he scored LeMoyne's game winner in an overtime 12-11 decision over Dowling.
Breiner, a junior attack man , started in 13 games and scored four goals and two assists. Rogers, a freshman midfielder also started in 13 games and contributed five goals and two assists.
Joining Chambers on defense is Wagner, in his final season,
"I have played defense on every team I played on," said Chambers who also was a cornerback for his high school football team. "You will always have a few big scorers on a team, but defense is more of a big strong unit. In lacrosse, the defense is team oriented with not just one or two standout players.''
Chambers knows just what his team needs to do to defeat Merrimack again.
"They (Merrimack) have a very strong attack and they like to initiate from midfield,'' Chambers said. "We need to win our individual match ups which we did the first time we met. We just need to stay true to what we did the first time around."

According to a recent study presented at an annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the presence of callous-unemotional (CU) traits in children represents a serious sign of a child at risk for exhibiting later antisocial tendencies in his teen years. Callous-unemotional traits, according tot he Indiana University Bloomington researchers who conducted the experiment, is a primarily male phenomenon, and is overwhelmingly genetic rather than environmental. These tendencies are exhibited as early as age 4, the researchers say, and by age 12, the child is at risk of serious behavioral problems.
Callous-unemotional traits are associated with a lack of empathy, guilt and normal human emotions. While 5-10 percent of children exhibit chronic behavioral problems, only a small percentage of these problem-children exhibit distinct callous-unemotional behavior patterns. If these behavioral characteristics are not addressed early on, they anticipate a high risk of exhibiting symptoms of antisocial personality disorders in later years. These tendencies, the researchers say, are likewise correlated with hyperactivity.
The researchers conducted an important twin study, which included 9,000+ twins. The study consisted of both identical and fraternal twins, shedding important line on the extent to which these behavioral traits are inherited vs. acquired from the environment. The researchers found that in their male subjects, genetics exerted the strongest influence on the onset of these traits, whereas in the small minority of females with such traits, environmental factors played the largest role. While the researchers were careful to note that these traits do not necessarily entail that the children will become psychopathic, they did emphasize the importance of staging early interventions in order to anticipate more serious behavioral problems in later teen years.

Only because of a common food myth is corned beef and cabbage a recipe associated with St. Patrick's Day, and associated it is: corned beef and cabbage is widely considered to be the most popularly served dish, alongside green beer (or an Irish red ale or stout if you have any sense), on St. Patrick's Day in celebration of its allegedly Irish roots. The fact of the matter is, however, that corned beef and cabbage, which is absolutely delicious, has almost nothing to do with the Irish food history that it is associated with. That makes it prefect everyday fare that needs not wait for a special Leprechaun-graced holiday to be enjoyed. In fact, it's so simple, especially like this in a crock-pot or slow-cooker, that corned beef and cabbage can easily be enjoyed any day of the year.
Corned beef, for those that don't know, is simply brined beef, usually the brisket, which means it's been soaked for a decent amount of time in a salty brining solution until it is somewhat pickled. Brining brings tremendous flavor into the meat and helps keep it moist and tender through almost any cooking method, but since corned beef is most commonly made from the brisket, a slow, moist cooking method for corned beef is preferred to get the best results. The following recipe stews the meat in an Irish ale with onions, garlic, and rosemary, all in the convenience of the crock pot.
Despite its obvious Southern roots and great potential for flavor, cabbage can be a hard dish for the modern palate to wrap itself around, so the following recipe calls for the milder Napa cabbage in place of a harder head. Cabbage is astoundingly good for you, and if it is cooked right, it is astoundingly delicious. To take full advantage of the health benefits of the cabbage in this recipe, it is not cooked in the slow cooker with the corned beef but rather quickly braised separately using some of the same beer-based stewing liquid that the meat simmered in all afternoon in the crock pot. If you've already turned your nose up at cabbage, give it this second chance. As a super secret to making the cabbage perfectly palatable, this cabbage is cooked with bacon as well, which actually ties it into the Irish cooking tradition while making it stunningly delicious.
To finish it off and give it some backbone, this dish is served over buttermilk mashed potatoes, ringing in yet another true Irish touch to the meal. The Irish, traditionally, ate very little beef until about a century ago, rather keeping their cows for dairy products. Those dairy products were enjoyed both sweet and sour, but it's well known that the Irish took a liking to enjoying their dairy particularly sour: the sourer the better. This part of their food culture came across the Atlantic with them to the Appalachian region and characterizes the old-fashioned Southern love of buttermilk. Here, it's mixed with another famous Irish staple, mashed potatoes, to round out the dish.
As for "Stan," he's a friend of this Examiner that taught him a Czech cooking method that is employed to round out this dish's full flavor. Interestingly enough, considering that Stan's technique is characteristic of traditional Czech home-cooking, it shares deep similarities with Irish tastes and methods. For the proper "a la Stan" version of this recipe, though, be sure to use a proper Czech beer like Pilsner Urquell. He wouldn't have it any other way. This recipe also comes out light on the meat and heavy on the cabbage and potatoes, following Stan's good Czech food advice: "Just a little meat and lots and lots of vegetables, especially potatoes." It makes for a great balance.
Recipe: Beer-stewed crock-pot corned beef and Napa cabbage a la Stan - Ingredients:
For the stew:
- 1.5 lbs. corned beef brisket (raw), cut into 2x2x4 (inches) chunks;
- 1 medium onion, chopped into large pieces;
- 5-6 cloves of garlic, crushed and roughly chopped;
- Optional: 2 carrots, scrubbed and cut into large pieces;
- 3 bay leaves;
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary leaves (or a heavy pinch of whole dried rosemary leaves), whole but with stems removed;
- 1 bottle of Irish ale (or other favorite beer -- Czech beer for true "a la Stan");
- 2 tbsp. butter;
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
For the cabbage:
- 1 small-to-medium head of fresh Napa cabbage, sliced in half-inch slices crosswise;
- 1/4 sweet onion, sliced in long, thin strips (quarter the onion and then cut across at 1/4-inch intervals);
- 3 strips of bacon;
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed and finely chopped;
- 1/2 c. stewing liquid from the stew above;
- Salt and black pepper, to taste.
For the potatoes:
- About 3 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cut for boiling in cold, salted water;
- 1/2 c. stewing liquid from stew;
- Approx. 1/2 c. (churned) buttermilk (e.g. Cruze farms) -- more if needed;
- 2 tbsp. butter;
- Salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Several hours ahead of time, add all of the stew ingredients except the butter to a crock pot or slow cooker. Let it cook on high for about 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours (e.g. while at work).
- About half an hour before you're ready to serve, begin to boil the potatoes until fork-tender. For this, start the potatoes in cold, salted water that you bring to a boil with the potatoes in it. While they boil, prepare the cabbage, onion, and garlic for the cabbage dish. Drain the potatoes and add them back into their hot pan over very low or no heat, covered, for 5-10 minutes (this tip finishes steaming the potatoes, dramatically improving their texture when mashed).
- Meanwhile, remove the meat from the crock pot and slice it cross-wise into quarter-inch slices and skim off some of the fat. Reserve two separate half-cups of the stewing liquid after the fat has been skimmed.
- In a large skillet or (better) a wok with a lid, fry the bacon until crisp (this can happen while the potatoes are boiling, actually) and remove it from the pan. Add the cabbage, onions, garlic, and some salt and pepper to the pan and stir and toss for a moment or two, then cover for about 2 minutes. Chop the bacon roughly in that time. Then, uncover, add 1/2 cup stewing liquid and the bacon, stir, and cover the pan again for 3-5 more minutes over medium-low heat. Keep the pan covered and turn off the heat at that point.
- Combine the other ingredients in the potato dish and mash with a masher (hand mashed has a great texture for this dish, so go through the tiny bit of extra effort). Add extra buttermilk as needed to get the proper texture, but because the stew's broth is thin, try to keep these potatoes a little stiff.
- Add the butter and sliced meat back into the crock pot and stir the butter through as it melts. At this point, either add the cabbage mixture to the pot as well or choose to serve it on the side. For a neater result, consider draining most of the cabbage cooking liquid back into the crock pot.
- To serve: Mound mashed potatoes on one side of a stew bowl and press them into something of a bowl shape with a spoon. If serving the cabbage as a side, heap it to one side of the potatoes. Ladle the corned beef stew over the top of the potatoes and cabbage, being sure to include a fair amount of broth.
Tip: Consider cooking the entire corned beef brisket in one go (usually, they are about 3 pounds, so this recipe calls for half of one) and when removing the meat from the pot, reserve half of it. You could make corned beef hash and eggs, corned beef in white gravy over biscuits, or any number of great leftover-corned-beef recipes the next day, and your broth will have a stronger, meatier flavor for it. Subscribe to stay tuned (for free), and you'll find a double-secret recipe for leftover corned beef will be posted soon.
Buy it locally! Good corned beef briskets are available frequently at Knoxville-area Kroger stores. Fresh rosemary can be picked up there usually too, or you can get it at The Fresh Market or Earth Fare stores, two of which are in Knoxville. Napa cabbage is also available likewise in Knoxville. For bacon, consider getting premium bacon at The Fresh Market or Earth Fare, or better, get some Benton's Bacon, a great Knoxville-local product. Similarly, don't miss Cruze Farms' real churned buttermilk, available around Knoxville in smaller shops (like the Horn of Plenty Market on W. Broadway in Maryville) courtesy of the Knoxvillian Cruze Farms.

Songs About Nothing: Jason Lescalleet
Bob Burnett: A review of "Songs About Nothing" by Jason Lescalleet (released on Erstwhile) from Volcanic Tongue that captures the release well.
Stunning double disc collection of mind-erasing loops, avant classical drone and minimal cold wave threat from Jason Lescallett, presented as a back-handed tribute to Big Black's notorious 1992 album Songs About Fucking: Songs About Nothing is the sound of pure entropy, moving from ear-scalding feedback sculptures through nod-out minimal synth repetition through scrambled choral works and widescreen soundtrack drones. The first disc unfolds in a series of stately movements linked by a form of oblique progressive logic with an increasing atmosphere of all-out psychosis until it feels like you're listening in on advanced surveillance electronics or experiments in sonic/psychological warfare (a quality which often marks out the most extreme Lescalleet recordings). The second disc consists of one massively extended track which expands on the 'narrative' feel of the first disc with the sounds of helicopter blades, distant cries, riot tones, hallucinatory/piercing upper register violence and huge blocks of eviscerated silence, with aspects of Masayoshi Urabe's convulsive approach to orchestrating nada. A stunning release from Lescalleet, his best to date, and a set that demands to be explored repeatedly in depth. This is hardcore. Highly recommended.

Bicycles and a Better City
"The bicycle is new vision for the blind man. It is a thrilling tool of communication, an experiential device for the beauty and the ills of the urban context. One cannot turn a blind eye on a bicycle – they must acknowledge their community, all of it."

The Anonymous Zone
Simon Reynell at Another Timbre has created a listening space titled The Anonymous Zone. I'll let his description stand:
The Anonymous Zone is a new idea; a place where music can be listened to and appreciated for what it really is, not because of who made it. Improvisation and contemporary classical music are as riddled with star systems as any other form of music, and inevitably, in spite of our best intentions, our reaction to a piece of music is partly determined by our knowledge of who is playing or has composed it. So we give more time and attention to pieces by our favourite musicians, and – conversely – we're inclined to quickly pass over music by people we either don't know or assume we don't much like.

Doug Aitken: Song 1
Bob Burnett: Doug Aitken's' 360 degree film project Song 1 will be concluding it's showing on March 20. The filmwork has been screened nightly from sunset to midnight via 11 HD projectors on the facade of the Hirshhorn museum in Washington, DC. There's a full write up of the piece on the Hirshhorn's website.
Much has already been said about Song 1 being a groundbreaking work merging film and technology. As a viewer my thoughts kept drifting towards James Joyce's concept of "the language of the night" used in Finnegan's Wake; a form of articulating the unconsious yet clear moments in life that may not have tangible meaning but create deep and lasting impact. The constant of Song 1 is the soundtrack; a variety of takes of the standard "I Only Have Eyes for You" mixed in with atmospheric natural sound from the environments where the images and people were shot. The most notable version of the song is the haunting version from 1959 by The Flamingos.
For contrast, here's the version created by Beck that's also used:
The experience created interesting people watching too. There were several hundred viewers sitting around the perimeter, passersby on foot self-conciously walking by seemingly not knowing what to do with themselves or comprehending what they'd stumbled across. Some flat-out showed their lack of intellectual curiosity by ignoring the whole environment. Oh well, that's their loss. The final takeaway for me is Song 1 came across as a strong example of art in public places being a catalyst for making something happen. The nightly screening created a destination for what's normally a quiet part of the city. Additionally, it rethought the use of a structure and turned art outward instead of only within its walls.

Hillman Curtis 1961-2012
Bob Burnett: I didn't know Hillman Curtis or know specifically of his web design work or read his books. I read this article on Design Observer earlier in the week and was struck by it. Hillman was approximately my age when he died earlier in April of cancer. I admire that he produced video pieces in a quiet, unaffected yet thoughtful way. I like their nerdy normalcy—I didn't care that they were sometimes technically a-kilter or not lit.
His webpage features a bunch of video clips.
He seemed to be a guy that took his design experience in web and print and expanded it to video stories about people just because he wanted to. I suggest starting with the Artists Series on his web page. I liked the David Byrne/Brian Eno film because he made me interested in an album that I didn't like when I listened to it when it came out. The Lawrence Weiner video was another great example for me. Mr. Weiner was all over the place and captivating at the same time. I love the slow dolly shot up to his striking face.
Hillman Curtis did some commissioned work too—for instance a few shorts for Adobe. He had the huevos to do technically messy, yet engaging segments. I'm just starting to watch the BAM Performers series. Seems he actually got a camera crew for those and there's a higher level of production aesthetic.
I've produced and directed videos for 25 years. There's something nice and re-centering for me seeing this work. It makes me not want to get simply caught up in delivering something for a client as fast as possible but to think a little bit, let a concept develop that you actually like and then make better use of the medium.

The Coordinates Are Entered by Dksoundguy
Bob Burnett: DC musician and friend of C60 Dennis Kane has been going down the road of analog synthesizer acquisition, composition and recording. I've linked his newest effort above. I've always had a soft spot for analog synthesis. I used to listen to it frequently while working in a record store while in high school. "Boring synthesizer music!" bellowed my colleague Marc. "But I like boring synthesizer music" being my reply. I have to credit long duration synthesizer music as the groundwork that made other contemporary composition understandable for me. The pathway to Morton Feldman had a trailhead of Tim Blake. (seen in the photo above)I hope you enjoy Dennis' work.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Tupac is alive, he never died, and he faked his death, claims Suge Knight today. Tupac is very alive, Knight told a radio news broadcast this morning April 20, 2012. Knight claims to have "evidence" suggesting that Tupac is alive. But while urban legends have claimed for years that Tupac is alive, even supporters are calling the latest assertion by Knight as peculiar.
During a Friday newscast of 93.5 KDay in Los Angeles, Suge said that he believes that 2Pac is alive. His "evidence" included never seeing 2Pac dead, and belief that that the person paid to cremate 2Pac never did it. Suge asserts he paid the person not three thousand dollars, but three million dollars, to cremate Tupac.
Suge told news "Maybe the question is … Pac's not really dead … pac's somewhere else. Nobody seen Tupac dead." Then Suge proffered his bizarre cremation "evidence". He told news "The person who supposedly cremated Tupac … this guy got about 3 million dollars .. personally from me … cash … and next thing I know I never heard from the guy or seen him again … he retired and left."
Tupac's family has yet to comment about the claim and the cremation assertions by Suge. And if you are wondering, the "HologramTupac" Twitter account has also yet to comment about Suge's bizarre remarks.

TEMPE – The No. 7 Arizona State University softball team beat the Penn State Nittany Lions, 9-1, in a quick six innings on Saturday afternoon at Farrington Stadium in Tempe.
Mackenzie Popescue allowed zero earned runs for the second-straight time, pitching six complete innings to improve to 2-0 on the season.
The Sun Devils (4-0) had a shaky start to the game after some miscommunication in the outfield followed by a bobble on an infield grounder allowed the Nittany Lions (2-2) to jump out to a quick 1-0 lead out of the gates. Like last night against N.C. State, however, the Sun Devils responded admirably.
Cheyenne Coyle singled to lead off the bottom of the first and was plated by Haley Steele two batters later to even things at one.
After a scoreless top of the second, the ASU bats began heating up in their half of the frame as Coyle logged a sacrifice fly to score Chelsea Gonzales and that set up a three-run jack by Alix Johnson for her first homer of the year as ASU expanded its lead to 5-1.
The Devil's defense was a brick wall from that point, allowing no more than 5 batters an inning while posting several highlight reel plays behind Popescue.
One of those came from right fielder Bailey Wigness, who made a remarkable diving catch in the top of the second to help keep Penn State at only one run. Chelsea Gonzales was solid in her first start at second base, making several tough plays and keeping the PSU lead runners at bay.
As for the offense, Amber Freeman and Bethany Kemp as the former went 3-for-4 on the day while Kemp went 2-for-3, both being doubles.
ASU added three more runs in the sixth inning with Elizabeth Caporuscio hitting a double to center field that scored pinch runner Jenn Soria to provide the eight-run lead to log the run rule victory.
Center fielder Alix Johnson – who had just one RBI coming in to the evening - had a game high four RBI's and the only home run of the game, contributing to the final score.
The victory gives ASU some more momentum going into their double header Sunday against Fresno State at 11:30 a.m. MT and UC Riverside at 2 p.m. at Farrington Stadium that will wrap up the opening weekend of the season. Watch both games being streamed live online via the Pac-12 Network.

|John Brogan played from 1948-50
John Brogan, a Coeur d'Alene native and standout athlete at the University of Idaho in the 1940s and 1950s, died at the age of 82 at a Las Vegas, Nev., hospital. Brogan still is Idaho's all-time punt return average leader at 16.5 yards per return and is tied for seventh in punt returns yards wtih 412 and is 13th on Idaho's all-time rushing list with 1,662 yards. He played for the Vandals from 1948-50. Here is the complete obituary as it appeared in the Coeur d'Alene Press:
John Brogan, a standout athlete at Coeur d'Alene High in his two years as a Viking in the 1940s, died Sunday morning in a Las Vegas hospital.
Brogan, 82, played football and basketball for the Vikings, and also excelled in baseball and track.
In a publication by the Coeur d'Alene Press sports department in 1996 called "100 for the Ages," Brogan ranked No. 2 all-time on the Press' list of "Greatest Male Athletes."
"He played all sports, and was an outstanding athlete," said Cecil Hathaway, a Viking teammate of Brogan's and who graduated with him from Coeur d'Alene High in 1947. "He was a very unpretentious guy, very humble about his accomplishments, and very honest about all aspects of his life."
Born in 1928, Brogan made his mark on Coeur d'Alene High athletics in 1945 as a junior after transferring back to Coeur d'Alene from Nebraska's famed Boys Town.
The first time he touched the ball as a Viking, he raced 60 yards for a touchdown. He went on to score four more touchdowns that day, leading Coeur d'Alene to a 32-19 win at Colfax (Wash.)
Brogan, a 5-foot-11, 175-pound left halfback, finished his two-year Viking career with 40 touchdowns - 25 rushing, 10 passing, two receiving and three on interception returns.
"I've seen every player since the war, or at least heard of them, and Johnny Brogan is the best," former Viking athlete and coach Don Haynes told the Press back in 1996. Haynes played with Brogan in high school. "You can't find anyone my age in Coeur d'Alene who doesn't talk about Johnny Brogan in a hushed voice."
Brogan helped Coeur d'Alene go 13-2-1 in Elmer Jordan's first two years as football coach. He played guard on Jordan's first two Viking basketball teams, and was named first-team all-state as a senior.
Brogan then went on to star at the University of Idaho as a single-wing tailback and safety for three seasons. He also returned punts and kickoffs, and kicked field goals and extra points.
"In those days, you either played both ways or you didn't play," Brogan said in 1996.
Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brogan played half a season at safety before retiring. He said he was upset the Steelers never gave him a chance to play offense.
Brogan was inducted into the Idaho Athletic Hall of Fame many years ago.
Services are pending.


text:
1. Kansas City Chiefs: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia - I still think they would be wiser to draft Lotulelei, but there's more of a chance they'll reach for a QB here. I was leaning towards Wilson as the top QB in recent weeks, but his senior bowl performance proved him completely unworthy of a first round selection, even in this weak QB class.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars: Damontre Moore, DE/OLB, Texas A&M - The offense hasn't been quite as bad as the defense this season, and there's no quarterback good enough worth taking #2 overall. Moore, on the other hand, is one of the best players in the entire draft. He's the kind of difference maker the Jags desperately need on defense.
3. Oakland Raiders: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah - The Raiders need an upgrade at just about every position on defense. They are aging and thin at DT, so this would be a wise choice. Lotulelei is a beast and one of the draft's top talents.
4. Philadelphia Eagles: Luke Joekel, OT, Texas A&M - No matter who the QB will be for this team opening day, they are going to need to bring in some protection for him. Kelly will probably want to bring in the top offensive lineman in the draft.
5. Detroit Lions: DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama - I've been giving them a pass rusher here for months, but there is so much depth at the position that could find another quality rusher at the beginning of round two. Milliner is by far the best CB of a fairly thin class this year.
6. Cleveland Browns: Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Georgia - Jones is jut the kind of guy they need to put some pressure on the Quarterback. He's weak in run support, but his pass rushing skills are elite. He'll work well in their new 3-4 defense.
7. Arizona Cardinals: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan - Fisher certainly hasn't proven enough to merit a top 10 selection, but he could easily rise to this spot if the Cardinals want a tackle bad enough. His senior bowl performances have certainly been impressive. Their second round QB won't stand a chance with the current offensive line.
8. Buffalo Bills: Mike Glennon, QB, N.C. State - If a QB goes first overall, I think the Bills may follow suit as well. Glennon obviously isn't worth a top 10 pick, but I think Buffalo would pull the trigger on him in this situation. His physical attributes will thrust him into the first round.
9. New York Jets: Bjoern Werner, DE/OLB, Florida State - I was considering giving them Glennon here, but it just makes much more sense to take an elite pass rusher here. There will be plenty of QB's available early in round two.
10. Tennessee Titans: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington - Trufant has been the best CB at the senior bowl practices, and has pushed himself into early first round consideration.
11. San Diego Chargers: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma - The Chargers desperately need help at tackle. Rivers, a rookie, whoever the quarterback is won't have much success without better blocking up front. Not many people have Johnson as a first rounder yet, but his stock is one the rise after handling Damontre Moore pretty handily in the final game of the season.
12. Miami Dolphins: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee - Whether Hartline is retained or not, Tannehill still needs an actual #1 receiving option. I think Patterson will be the consensus top receiver in the class by April.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State - Tampa needs a couple of corners added to their roster this season, and Banks will probably be available for them here at 13 overall. There has been plenty of people in the organization who have publicly said they would be happy with Banks as their first round selection.
14. Carolina Panthers: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri - The Panthers have ignored the DT position for too long. Having a guy like Richardson available to them will be too much to pass up.
15. New Orleans Saints: Kenny Vacarro, S, Texas - New Orleans' top needs are at rush linebacker and safety. With so much depth at pass rusher in this draft, they could easily choose to select the top safety of a pretty thin class this year. Vacarro could easily fly up the boards like Barron did last year.
16. St. Louis Rams: Chance Warmack, G, Alabama - The Rams need to find as much help for Bradford as they can in this draft, and Warmack is probably the most talented lineman in the class. He's only available here because of his position.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon - Harrison is nearing the end of the road, so a fresh young pass rusher needs to be brought in this season. Jordan offers a great value at this spot in the draft.
18. Dallas Cowboys: Ezekiel Ansah, DE/OLB, BYU - The Cowboys need another pass rusher opposite Ware. Ansah will be a hot commodity after the combine.
19. New York Giants: Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia - The Giants need multiple linebackers added to their defense, so spending a first rounder on a talent like Ogletree makes perfect sense for them.
20. Chicago Bears: Jonathon Cooper, G/C, North Carolina - There really isn't a pure tackle worth taking here, but Chicago will take any help they can get on the line. Cooper is strong and versatile prospect who could start at any of the interior positions on the line.
21. Minnesota Vikings: Keenan Allen, WR, California - Ponder has been dreadful without Harvin towards the end of this season. Allen would provide a great #2 option while also being an insurance policy on the injury prone Harvin.
22. Cincinnati Bengals: Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame - Between his poor performance in the national championship game and all the fake girlfriend stuff, Te'o could easily drop to the bottom half of the draft. The Bengals desperately need some help at linebacker, so Te'o would be amazing value here based on talent. The Bengals have been known to bring in players with character concerns before, and they've been able to get the most out of them.
23. St. Louis Rams (Via Washington): Tyler Eiffert, TE, Notre Dame - The Rams would be wise to add another security blanket for Sam Bradford, and a potentially elite TE would do wonders for him.
24. Indianapolis Colts: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State - Hankins is a top 10 talent, but I just haven't been able to find a spot for him until now. Indianapolis would be running to the podium with this selection.
25. Seattle Seahawks: Kawann Short, DT, Perdue - One of the only things the Seahawks defense is missing is a rusher who can come up the middle. Short has been one of the best interior pass rushers in all of college football the last few seasons.
26. Green Bay Packers: Barrett Jones, C/G/T, Alabama - Green Bay needs to do a better job protecting Rodgers. They'll love Jones' versatility, who could pretty much start at any position except LT in my opinion.
27. Houston Texans: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee - Texans really need to grab a wideout as early as possible. Hunter is a great value here and would also take a lot of pressure off of Johnson now that there's another legitimate weapon on the field.
28. Denver Broncos: Bennie Logan, DT, LSU - The Broncos defense is very strong already, but they could still use some help at DT. Logan is a good fit at the end of round one.
29. New England Patriots: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia - Even if Welker is brought back (which really has to happen), another receiving weapon is needed. Austin would fit their system well.
30. Atlanta Falcons: Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU - The Falcons have a big hole at DE to fill across from Abraham. Mingo has amazing potential here at the end of round one.
31. Baltimore Ravens: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor - Flacco looked lost out there until the playoffs came around. Either way, Boldin is getting old and Flacco needs a second weapon across from Smith.
32. San Francisco 49ers: Margus Hunt, DE/DT, SMU - The 49ers had basically no pass rush when Justin Smith was out or not playing at 100%. He's not getting any younger, so someone to take some of his reps and eventually replace him is needed. Hunt has amazing potential given his size and ability.

A local chimney inspector found a severe fire hazard at a home at the 6000 block of West 102nd Court in Overland Park, Kansas on Monday, March 10, 2014 during a routing annual inspection. The inspector, Gene Padgitt of HearthMasters, Inc. said that birds built a flammable nest in the vent serving a direct vent gas fireplace, and packed the material solidly inside the vent holes. Some charred areas were found inside the vent pipe. Nesting material is flammable, which is a fire risk. During use of the fireplace, the vent gets hot and can ignite any combustibles inside the vent.
Direct vent fireplaces use a vent which is installed above and behind the fireplace and exits an exterior wall of the building A cover usually keeps birds and other creatures out of the interior, but in this case birds got around it anyway. There were no tenants living in this rental home at the time. The owner was notified of the problem and was glad that he had the fireplace inspected when he did and before a house fire occurred.
The Midwest Chimney Safety Council recommends that all fireplaces, including all types of gas fireplaces, be inspected annually by a professional chimney sweep/inspector, and that if no inspector is available the homeowner should take the exterior vent cover off and check the interior and top of the vent for flammable nesting materials.
The MCSC website states that even when fireplaces are installed correctly there can be problems develop later on that are hazardous. Direct vent gas fireplace vents are particularly vulnerable to birds because they create a warm space that the birds want to be in or near when it is cold. These newer types of appliances may need to have a different type of exterior vent design in order to prevent bird nest hazards.

Verizon has just dropped the price of the Samsung Droid Charge to $199.99. The Droid Charge was initially priced at $299.99 on a new two year contract, but with the release of the Droid Bionic last month, the price of the Droid Charge as well as the HTC Thunderbolt has dropped. The Thunderbolt recently was reduced to $199.99. This is likely due to the fact that the Bionic features a dual-core processor, while both the Thunderbolt and Charge only have single core processors.
If you are unfamiliar with the Droid Charge, it features a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, a 1GHz processor, a 8 megapixel camera with 720p HD recording, 2GB of internal memory, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, 512 MB of RAM, Android 2.3.4, and LTE network connectivity.
Its good to see Verizon cutting prices on their LTE phones, which were all initially very high. I believe that more people will purchase LTE devices if they are cheaper. Most people don't think that $199.99 isn't a bad price since most smartphones are priced at that, but when you see a $299.99 device on contract, it usually scares some customers away. Let us know if you are interested in the Samsung Droid Charge now that it has been reduced to $199.99.

Getting Things Done
Most people agree that our Congress has become increasingly fractious through the years. Too often, partisanship hinders progress. What happened to collegiality and a spirit of compromise? What happened to finding a solution because it is the right thing to do for the American people?
We need representatives in Congress that seek to bring people together. We need people that believe in limited government, lower taxes, and individual liberty – but at the same time understand that our national issues are incredibly complex and their solutions require compromise. We don't need lobbyist puppets and we don't need inflexible ideologues.
The incivility of partisan politics has ground consensus to a halt yet the list of pressing challenges in need of solutions is immense. Examples include: improving education, taking care of our vets, solving immigration, and finally, an official Energy Policy that will end our intolerable dependence on foreign oil. None of these problems has an easy fix. We need to bring together the best and brightest, come up with solutions, and then have the political courage to implement them. We need to engage the private sector in a cooperative and constructive relationship. For any of this to happen, our members of Congress must be part of the solution instead of an ongoing part of the problem.

Making Progress
By dcb on Jan 12, 2005
How do you double your capability? You've surely seen this described in economic analysis. But this concept applies to any form of progress measured in terms of percentage based increments. Say you have a desire to run twice as far as you can today, or you'd like to double your savings, or maybe bench press twice as much weight, etc. There is an easy formula to figure out your strategy and milestone goals...
Let's take an example. Say you want to perform a strength-based exercise at twice as much weight, in a year. A standard rule of thumb is that you should only add about 5-7% to the weight you use, and only once you can perform the exercise at the current weight with "ease" (read: in control, with proper form, for all the reps). Another rule of thumb in strength training is to workout twice per week, to provide enough recovery time. Another is to perform 3 sets of 8-12 reps per exercise, to muscle overload (can't do another rep). Another is to take reach rep slowly (exhale during a 2 count up, hold for 1, and inhale during a 4 count back). There is more to it, such as mixing up the type, intensity, speed, etc, to overcome the adaptation effect. But you get the picture.
Okay, given these heuristics, let's see how much weight we'd have to add each month to double our capability. Using the formula below, it works out to just under 6% per month, which falls right into the sweet spot of the "best practice" for strength training. The challenge, of course, is to work hard enough so that you're ready to add 6% at the end of each month. Which means you've built back up to doing 3 sets of 12 reps with perfect form. That might not be feasible unless you are just starting and have started light. But it's a rate you'll want to track if you intend on 2x in a year.
Here are the equations, and a spreadsheet that illustrates the milestones assuming a starting baseline of 100 lbs. This Java Calculator will help you determine your own increment, or number of months, or expected weight gain. http://www.fpsmith.com/calculator.htm
This reminds me of the old tale about the farmer who could lift his 85 lb new born Holstein calf. He figured that if he lifted the calf every morning, that by the time that cow turned one, he'd be lifting over 800 lbs!! Applying the formula above, that works out to be a 21% increment every month. Not recommended, for obvious reasons!
Which also reminds me of the exercise of reseting sales goals every year. Hmmm. :-)
I guess there are natural limits to exponential increases! The key is to set a reasonable (but challenging) goal, understand the milestones needed to check your progress along the way, and "resolve" to do what it takes to get there. And don't be too proud to reset your goals if you realize they were not feasible. Baby steps go a long way when you apply the power of the exponential.

If it's Mardi Gras, there must be a party on Hollywood Beach, and if there's a party on Hollywood Beach, Iko-Iko must be there.
Few things in South Florida are more dependable than a Fat Tuesday Boardwalk gumbo and gris-gris throwdown, and no acts more likely to take the stage anywhere in SoFla than Grant Wood Drout's institution of funky blues and grooving rock.
Fresh from their appearance on Saturday's chilly stage at the Riverwalk Blues and Music Festival along the river in Ft. Lauderdale, Iko-Iko will be warming up the crowd the with a bowlful of New Orleans, mixed with slabs of Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, and spiced with the mess of rootsy ingredients that produces songs such as "Jalapeno Be Thy Name" and "(I Never Had) An American Dream" in a concoction that Drout calls "swampadelic."
Drout's long-time collaborator John Wenzel will tear up the six string, and they will be joined by Mitch Mestel on bass, Ron Taylor on keys, and Daniel East on the drums.
Headlining the holiday show will be another performer with both New Orleans and South Florida ties, Marcel Anton and the Healers, who mix the blues with a bit of world music in a souful stew.
The show starts at 6:30 on the Broadwalk at Johnson Street in Hollywood.

If you were to do a search for Roulette betting systems on the web, you would come across hundreds, maybe thousands of sites offering various roulette systems that are guaranteed to beat the wheel each and every time. Some of these are pay sites, and some offer free roulette systems. As convincing as these free roulette systems may sound, it is important to remember that roulette is a game of chance. No matter what roulette betting strategies people may come up with, the sad truth is that the game will always feature a house edge which is at least 5% on a European wheel and slightly upwards on an American one. A basic roulette betting strategy would therefore be to always play the European wheel.
The sad truth is that the numbers where the white ball stops are completely random, and there will never be a full proof strategy for beating the house on a consistent basis. Despite this, roulette actually isnt a bad game to play. It is popular in casinos throughout the world, and this is due in part to the many different betting combinations that you can employ to help maximize your success.
Why Is Online Roulette a Good Game To Play?It goes against popular belief, but as previously mentioned, roulette betting can give the player various opportunities to come out on top. Firstly the layout of the table gives the player several different roulette betting strategies to run with, thanks to the large number of betting combinations that are available to the player in the numerous boxes. This allows great opportunities to hedge your bets, so if you cant win every spin, you at least have a good chance not to lose either, but rather to push.
Secondly, certain types of roulette bets can be entertaining. While every spin of the white ball is completely independent of the others, it is fun in some cases to try and ride a color or number streak. This happens for instance when the same colors or number groupings begin to predominantly appear several times after several spins. Online casinos actually encourage you to chart past spins. When playing online roulette, you can keep track and chart the previous 10 to 20 spins on the electronic boards which are located next to the wheel. All of Aces top online casinos feature this device.
Roulette Betting Systems and Money ManagementAny good roulette betting system must go hand in hand with a smart money management plan. The lack of a money management strategy is the main reason people leave the table as losers. You need to have realistic expectations on what you can win going in, and more importantly you must decide how big of a loss you can take. Only bet money that youre willing to loose that is the golden rule of any money management system. Mental toughness is key.
Instead of scattering chips around randomly on the table layout to chase numbers, it is best to spread them out in an efficient manner. This will lend order and discipline to your wagers, and could garner more favorable outcomes in roulette. Betting with a money management strategy will definitely make the game more enjoyable for you, and will also boost your success in the long run. This following system will help you get the most for your money through efficient wagering.
The following is a great roulette betting system for placing outside bets:
Outside Box Roulette Betting Systems
As mentioned before, every spin of the ball is 100% independent of the previous occurrences. One spin cant influence the next, and all numbers have an equal chance of winning on any given spin. Despite this, some players believe that the roulette is prone to color or number streaks that can in fact take shape in the short term. Aiming to score consecutive wins on certain colors or numbers which previously appeared can make the game enjoyable, and this style of play also keeps you from second guessing your number/color picks at the table which each and every spin.
To begin playing this outside roulette system, you can chart the table by taking a look the previous numbers/colors that appear on the electronic board. Lets say that the ball seems to be landing on the Red numbers a lot, you can set up Red to be Dominant play, which means that you will play Red on every spin. You can choose any value that you want for your Dominant but in this example we will use Red.
Next you can set up a second tier dominant, which is a secondary play. You can play this box immediately or introduce later after youve racked up several winning spins. In this case lets use High (19-36) as the second tier dominant.
Roulette offers many betting combinations. Here are some simplified options that we suggest in this sample situation using Red as the dominant and High as the second tier dominant. This is one of the easier roulette betting systems to master.
In this case:
2. You can Play Red on every spin, but High will be played only after it shows on the wheel. This means you will only bet on the high values, after a high value has come up on the wheel.
In this example, lets stick to the strategy of playing Red and High on every spin, and look at the advantages of this using this particular roulette betting system. First Take a look at the roulette layout and wheel illustrations again.
1. By betting on Red, you have covered up 18 spaces which is every other slot on the wheel
2. Then in addition your simultaneous bet on High includes all the numbers from 19 to 36. You have double coverage on the red numbers of 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 32, 34, and 36. You have double the chance to win both bets on these numbers.
3. The only numbers that remain open and arent covered at all in any bet are the low black numbers of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 17. With a little luck, the ball will not land in any of these slots.
This is how roulette betting systems with the two Dominants work. Your chances of losing are reduced, and at the same time this has given you two chances of getting on a possible hot streak. What if the High numbers go on a six or seven spin streak and keep appearing? You have 9 Red numbers in the 19 to 36 grouping that will give you a double win.
What if you have been having success with the two dominant system, but after awhile one of the dominants stops coming up on the board? You can eliminate that dominant and just focus on the one that is winning. For instance what if Red goes cold, but High is still appearing on several spins. You can Stop the Red bets altogether for the time being and continue with only High bets, either on every single spin, or only after a High value has appeared.
Make sure you pay attention to the color pattern to see when Red numbers start to show again. When Red starts to gain momentum, start playing it again. You want to be able to ride any perceived streaks that you can. Use your judgment to know when to introduce and withdraw the dominants in this roulette system.
You can practice this roulette betting system at any of Ace Hoyles top online casinos.Please remember that this or any of the Roulette Betting Systems on the web arent perfect, but they can help enhance both your play and enjoyment of the game by arming you with a roulette betting strategy to work with.

"Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham has engaged in a few relationships since fans last saw her on the hit MTV series. Unfortunately, not one of them has lasted more than two months, and there doesn't appear to be any prospects on the horizon.
So, when it comes to marriage, Farrah is a long way out.
According to a March 18 report by Wetpaint Entertainment, Farrah recently participated in a Q&A session with fans, during which she revealed she is "not getting married anytime soon." Instead, she plans to continue "focusing on being a parent."
Hearing that Farrah is focusing on five-year-old Sophia is reassuring. Since selling her sex tape nearly one year ago, Farrah's touring schedule has been demanding and while she claimed several months ago that she was done touring, she appears to have continued doing so.
Meanwhile, Sophia has been left back in Austin, Texas, where she is cared for by Farrah's father, Michael Abraham, as her mother travels from town to town, sometimes for weeks at a time.
Hopefully now that her career is slowing down, Farrah truly will focus on Sophia and her own education. Last year, Farrah claimed to fans that she intended to go back to college and get a degree, but it doesn't appear that that has happened.

Every time someone told Anne Brokenborough '11 that she couldn't afford Cabrini, that she shouldn't become a teacher because it wouldn't pay enough, or that she wouldn't want to return to the inner city to teach, it only strengthened her resolve to accomplish all three goals.
"It does motivate you," the early childhood and elementary special education major says. "It makes me think, 'I'm going to prove you wrong.'"
The path that led Anne to Cabrini was winding, beginning long before she was born. Anne's mother came to the mainland from Puerto Rico as a child, and Anne's father has family in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Philippines.
Anne grew up the youngest of nine children first in West and then in Southwest Philadelphia, and graduated in the top 10 percent of her class at Parkway West High School.
Perhaps the most challenging aspect of enrolling in Cabrini for Anne was finding it. Anne wasn't even aware of the college until she accompanied a high school friend on a visit to campus.
"I went from not knowing about Cabrini to it being my number one choice," she says of that initial visit.
As a first-year student in 2007, Anne was a member of the College's Voices of Justice Living and Learning Community (LLC). She credits the LLC with "making the transition from high school easier," and found the group's activities, such as an immersion trip to Washington, D.C., to be insightful.
Her professors laud her dedication and work ethic, and are quick to point out how much she contributes to Cabrini in and out of the classroom.
"Anneis an innovative thinker, a creative collaborator, and a leader on campus—the kind of young woman who leads by example," said Dr. Nancy Watterson, assistant professor of social justice and American studies.
As a Pierce Scholar, Anne worked in Cabrini's Youth Empowerment Program with Norristown high school students in a writing and cultural arts program, and tutors students at Olney High School in Philadelphia.
Last year, she accompanied Drs. Watterson, Darryl Mace, Nicholas Rademacher, and fellow student Melissa Moore '12 to an Interfaith Youth Core conference (IFYC) in Chicago, where she was awarded an IFYC youth leaders scholarship.
This year, Anne received the Andrew and Patricia Litavec Education Scholarship. And when she finds spare time, she crochets, creating hats, scarves, blankets, and vests for family and friends.
Anne credits all the teachers in her life—those who told her what she couldn't do, and those who encouraged her to accomplish her goals—for her decision to major in education.
After graduation, she plans to teach in the Philadelphia School District, in "the school that is in the direst need," she said.
"To be able to give children a quality education, even if they don't have the best resources, would be the best thing I can do," she says.
Just try to stop her.

Antonio Tarver thought he'd take Lateef Kayode into the deep waters, get him fatigued, and drown him. But the "kid" showed more energy late than expected in the main event at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA on Saturday night. The scores after 12 rounds were 115-113 for Tarver, 115-113 for Kayode and 114-114, a draw, which Tarver vehemently disagreed with. To us, a draw looked fair, as neither man clearly pulled away from the other.
Tarver after said to Jim Gray that he clearly won. He said he started slow, but thought he won everything after six. His cornerman, Jimmy Williams, told him he needed the 12th, however, it must be noted. Where next? Not a rematch, probably.
Kayode said he thought he won, that Tarver got a draw because he works for Showtime. "I don't need the effin belts, I'm better than you," he said. A rematch he would do, but on HBO, he said to Gray.
The IBO cruiser champ Tarver (age 43; 29-6 entering; lives in Florida) got to jabbing in the first round against Kayode (age 29; from Nigeria, lives in CA; 18-0 with 14 KOs entering) in the featured Showtime bout. Kayode looked to land a booming right, but Tarver saw them coming. In the second, Kayode moved a bunch, laterally. Tarver was being patient, trying to frustrate Kayode, who came in amped, wanting to prove Tarver wrong. The fighter works as an analyst for Showtime, and has critiqued Kayode a few times on fights he called. Kayode took the critiques personally and lobbied for the fight. In the third, Tarver got busier. He whacked Kayode off a break in the first minute. He wanted to land the left uppercut on the Nigerian, and did land one 3/4 clean, in fact. Trainer Freddie Roach asked Kayode to land one-twos after the round. By the way, Kayode mugged to the crowd, and mocked Tarver, several times to this point.
In the fourth, Tarver got a couple combos untracked. The cruder,more powerful Nigerian looked to impose himself on the vet. The crowd, for the third time, booed the perceived lack of action. Analyst Al Bernstein noted that Tarver was even less busy than usual and was in danger of giving away too many rounds in the fifth.
No boos during a busy sixth. Tarver got cooking. He went righty, he landed a few combos, and two real clean power punches. In the seventh, Tarver continued to throw more and probably won the frame. In the eighth, Kayode was hurt a little bit by a straight left. In the ninth, Kayode again got buzzed. Would his stamina hold? In the tenth, his stamina held, in a tight round. In the 11th, the first 11th round for Kayode, he was busier than Tarver. Buddy McGirt screamed for Tarver to get busier. It could have gone either way. In the 12th, it was a tight one, nothing much separating the two. We'd go to the cards.
Tarver went 99-484 to 105-513 for Kayode
Tarver didn't punch much. Kayode showed energy and effort, if not polish. No one earned it.
Tarver was the very least of this card. Kid Chocolate did trainer Freddie proud. Dominguez was game, but outclassed, for now. Santa Cruz had good economy in all his moves, maybe too much economy, but won a good fight. It was fine professional boxing all around. Did I mention I was there with a couple pals? The event was undersold, unfortunately, even though the Home Depot Center in Carson is a great venue! However, only die-hard boxing fans showed up. How is 43 year old Tarver a headliner? One whole section was not populated. Actor James Earl Jones attended, plus Sugar Shane and his gorgeous new gal in a green dress. The Corona ring girls were gorgeous as always, slender and big-butted at the same time. How do they do that? Must be an optical illusion. The doors opened before 3:00pm, but the fights were delayed forever, and there were huge gaps in the small undercard. 3:00pm to 10:00pm plus is way too long for a fight card. Just sayin'.
Tarver is done..
5 hours is just right, I think. 7 hours is ridiculous. The doors should have opened at 5:00 for the Tarver/Kayode card, and there needed to be 2 or 3 more four rounders to start the evening. There were huge gaps in activity between 3:00 and 5:30pm yesterday. The last fight I saw at the Home Depot Center in Carson was the Andre Ward vs. Arturo Abraham fight and that was a well organized night. That was a Goosen promotion. There was a deep undercard full of newcomers, and the fights just kept on coming. In fact, I missed two knockouts during the Ward card just trying to buy myself a hotdog at the concessions. Five hours is good night at the fights. A poorly organized fight night like the one yesterday only further injures the fan base and the sport of boxing. It seemed like we were just a studio audience for Showtime. The network didn't care if they abused our patience. Also, when you've got a bunch of folks hanging out for seven hours, a lot of beer gets drunk. This makes for some fun cat calls and comments, and some just repetitive and annoying. I can only imagine there were a few DUIs on the way home for some folks.
Wow! So is the RETURN of BOBBY C. And WTF! He is bytching and instead of joking. Where is the comedy? Maybe somewhere over the rainbow. WAY! WAY! Up HIGH! I was even at the bouts for the action of Winky and Antonio. And YUP! A few drunks got kick da double fudge outta of the center. Hehehe! Holla!
I had tarver winning rounds 5,6,7,8,9,10,11.
that would make it 7-5, maybe even 8-4 if you gave tarver the first round, depending how you scored it.
tarver started late, definitely, but he did sweep 7 rounds.
kayode did not do enough to take the belt from the champion, he won his rounds through unpolished activity and aggression.
tarver landed the cleaner and much harder punches and had kayode hurt in i think three different rounds.
antonio looked much over weight, by as much as 10 lbs or more, i know he is 43 but
carrying that extra weight makes 43 that much more difficult.
how about i fell asleep in round 6 of the Rodriguez fight and didnt wake up until way after it was over, didnt even know who won ahaha.. wow was that horribly boring.
wait, cant remember, maybe i didnt give tarver round 5, cant seem to remember...
Bobby C back in the house..... I started this card late on DVR after a long BBQ and fell asleep during the Winky fight, woke up for the main event only to crash out in the 8th... it was a snooze fest for me. Could have been all the food and booze.

I had Kayode winning, initiating what little action there was,.. but he went into a shell after the tenth and let the final 2 round go trying to survive. a fitting end for a "NON-FIGHT"
Great Post Bobby C. felt like I was actually there.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?
