Most of us will never have to deal with a random Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspection. But if you do, it's guaranteed to come at the worst possible time.
I recently took a Caribbean cruise vacation with my wife. My plant manager was off recovering from knee surgery, and a supervisor and several team leaders were left to supervise the healthcare laundry. It was then that OSHA decided to pay a surprise visit.
The inspector introduced herself and showed her identification. Our laundry's name had come up on a randomly generated list, she said. She requested a tour and the following documentation for review: federal ID number; OSHA's Form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) for 2004, 2005 and 2006; "Lockout-Tagout" program; "Confined Space" program; "Exposure" program; "Safety Compliance" program; and our Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) book.
While the office staff and the lead mechanic quickly pulled together all the documentation she requested, our supervisor took the inspector on a tour. The inspector made a few suggestions:
• We routinely store lightweight boxes of filters on top of the air compressor room. This area inside the building is a tempting storage place. The inspector recommended that if we're going to store items there, its roof should have a load-bearing rating.
• The air compressor room has a ventilation duct to remove hot air. The inspector recommended that chicken-wire mesh be installed over the opening.
• The laundry is equipped with a mezzanine floor used for storage. The inspector recommended that this floor should have a load-bearing rating.
The only "issue" the OSHA inspector found was in the electrical room, where an electrical panel was missing a small section of cover, which exposed wires. This panel, which electricians who wired the building during construction should have installed four years ago, had simply been missed by everyone. The OSHA inspector informed our laundry supervisor that we would be cited for the infraction.
The OSHA inspector then reviewed the documentation in our conference room. It was in order and "looked good," she said. She would mail all of the necessary documentation about the infraction, and the laundry would be given time to correct it. We solved the problem she had identified within hours of her departure.
In reviewing how we performed during the inspection, the laundry management team has decided to create a central location for all of the documentation that had been requested. While we hope never to have another inspection, we want to be prepared in case one does happen.
It's my belief that we were chosen for random inspection because of safety issues that occurred in laundries elsewhere. Bad press can raise the visibility of the entire industry in OSHA's eyes and make it far more likely that your laundry might receive a random inspection. I believe that OSHA's use of the term "random" simply means that the agency is visiting your facility as part of a routine inspection effort rather than in direct response to a complaint from an employee.
I've worked in the laundry industry for 35 years and this is only the second time an inspector has shown up to inspect my laundry. The first was during the years I worked in Alabama. The OSHA inspectors said they were responding to a complaint. When I notified them that the laundry was set up as a governmental agency and they confirmed it, they left stating that OSHA had no authority to review the operations of governmental agencies. I was never told about the complaint or the issue that had been reported.
The odds are pretty good that your laundry will never be inspected. But gathering the appropriate information into a central location will certainly make it easier on everyone involved should OSHA come calling.
Inspections Never Come at Good Time
Most of us will never have to deal with a random Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspection. But if you do, it's guaranteed to come at the worst possible time.

College Hockey:Saints Advance to Fourth Straight Frozen Four
Grills' Last-Minute, First-Period Goal Keys Win Over Wildcats
DURHAM, N.H. — Entering Saturday's NCAA quarterfinal, New Hampshire had the home ice and the momentum from winning Hockey East, while St. Lawrence had been humbled humbled by getting blown out 4-0 by the Wildcats back in November, humbled by getting run over by Dartmouth 7-3 in the ECACHL final last Sunday.
But the best programs learn from their failures and find their way in March, and that has become a St. Lawrence trademark. For the fourth season in a row, the Saints (29-7-3) are going to the Frozen Four, having turned the tables on the Wildcats (28-4-5) and defeated them 6-2 at the Whittemore Center on Saturday.
The games' biggest play came in the final minute of the first period. Both teams had been trading punches. The Saints had a 2-1 lead, and the Wildcats were controlling play in the offensive zone with an eye for the game-tying score. St. Lawrence coach Paul Flanagan had gambled keeping his top line out for an extra shift in the final minute, and the Saints struggled to clear the puck.
But one extra effort by St. Lawrence senior Chelsea Grills changed everything. She blocked a shot from the point with her shin-pad, and took off the other way with the puck as the clock ticked down. She beat UNH goalie Melissa Bourdon on the breakaway for the 3-1 lead 3.2 seconds before the first intermission.
"I had my teammates telling, 'You have time, you have time,'" Grills said. "I settled down, and I had to put it in the net. It was a good team effort."
"For her to gut it out when she didn't have anything left in the tank, to go the length of the ice and bury it, that makes it more impressive, that's what desire is all about," Flanagan said. "And those are the kind of goals and effort in a game like this that you can't praise enough."
The second period was the Carson Duggan showcase for the Saints. About midway through the second period, Duggan was left free in front to convert a feed coming from junior Sabrina Harbec behind the net for the 4-1 lead. Sophomore Sam Faber scored to cut into the Saints' lead, but Duggan buried a rebound off a Grills shot on the power play to restore the three-goal advantage.
Grills fed Harbec on a two-on-one midway through the third period to cap the scoring.
"It's just a really disappointing loss because we didn't put our best foot forward today, but on the other side of the table, St. Lawrence played a really smart game and executed exceptionally well, and we didn't," said UNH coach Brian McCloskey. "They beat us on special teams, they were very patient and for whatever reason we couldn't settle down and be patient with them. Consequently, they got in behind us, they created some advantage plays and buried them."
Flanagan thought one of the key adjustments the Saints made on the big ice sheet was that they forechecked one player and pulled back, taking away passes and creating turnovers. McCloskey felt UNH moved the puck out of the back end as poorly as he had seen all season, though he credited much of that to the higher level of competition brought by the Saints on this day.
UNH had the better run of opportunities in the opening minutes, but only the Saints drew a power play from them. They cashed in when a shot from the point by freshman defenseman Britni Smith rebounded off Bourdon and deflected off Marianne Locke into the net for the 1-0 lead just under eight minutes into the game.
"Getting a lead against a team like this in their rink is really important. You could feel it on our bench, that it alleviated any anxiety," Flanagan said.
New Hampshire's top line, led by center Sam Faber, came storming back. Taking a wide-angle shot off a rebound from a powerful rush into the zone, Faber buried the puck into the far upper corner to tie the game. Faber converted a similar shot to score UNH's second goal in the second period, with assists from Kelly Payton and Steph Holmes.
"On the first one, I was all alone in front and thought about going behind the net because I didn't think I could score, and I just kind of flipped it in, and luckily it went in," Faber said. "On the second one Holmes and Paton did a great job cycling, and it just popped out. I took it to the front Usually when I shoot it too hard it goes over the net, so I got a new technique there."
St. Lawrence took the lead for good at 13:14 of the first period, when a fortunate bounce gave Annie Guay a clear look at the net from beyond the circles, and she powered the shot passed Bourdon for the 2-1 advantage.
St. Lawrence controlled the ever-important categories of special teams and goaltending. The Saint power play went 2-for-3, while UNH went 0-for-4. Bourdon stopped 15 of 21 for the Wildcats.
Junior Meaghan Guckian, who sat in lieu of Jess Moffat for all non-consolation NCAA games the last two seasons, stopped 26 of 28 given her opportunity.
"Guckian didn't have to stand on her head all night, but boy was she there when we needed her," Flanagan said.
Despite never having won a conference title, St. Lawrence is now the only program other than Minnesota to reach four straight Frozen Fours.
"We got on the bus last Sunday pretty disappointed, but in the back of our minds, there was a chance to redeem ourselves for what happened last week," Flanagan said. "We blew an opportunity to win the championship for our league, but there's another one up for grabs."

Menifee Retiree Shares Love of Reading With Local Students
The minute Roy Lantz walked in the door to Stacee Chong's first grade class, the students surro...
The minute Roy Lantz walked in the door to Stacee Chong's first grade class, the students surrounded him.
"Mr. Roy! Mr. Roy!" they exclaimed as they rushed to give him a hug.
Lantz visits this class and others at Evans Ranch Elementary School for less than an hour twice a week, but he's treated like royalty. And what does he do to deserve such a special welcome from the students?
He reads to them.
Since the start of the school year, when he contacted the school to volunteer his services, Lantz has been reading out of children's books to students there on a regular basis. That's what he specifically asked if he could do -- read to the children.
And in this week in which Menifee students celebrated the Read Across America program with various activities, the special message sent to the students by volunteers like Lantz made a big difference.
"He offered his services," said Jolanta Brady, a special education teacher who assists with students in Chong's classroom. "He triggers their love for reading because he's very interactive. The students accepted him right away."
As Lantz settled into a chair in a corner of the room to read from a children's book in the "Flat Stanley" series, he often paused to ask students if they had had an experience similar to the characters. Hands shot into the air and the conversation began. The book is always finished, but not without many personal stories that relate fiction to reality.
"I used to read Aesop's Fables to my kids," said Lantz, who spent 20 years in the Air Force and 19 years with the U.S. Postal Service before retiring last summer. "People don't read the classics anymore. I went over to visit my grandkids the other day and my daughter brought out the Aesop's book I used to read to her. She remembers."
Betti Cadmus, public information officer for the Menifee Union School District, used to participate in a reading program for the district. She said the way in which Lantz involves the children in the stories is a key factor in their appreciation of reading.
"I don't even know that he knows he's doing that," Cadmus said, "but he's building a personal relationship between the students and the literature. He shows his passion for reading and the students. This is something other folks can do if they want to get involved."
"It's so sad that fewer kids spend their time reading than in the past," Brady said. "It's important for their development in writing, science, even math. He makes it meaningful for them. When you're a 6-year-old, fun is a big factor in learning."
Lantz reads to four classes at Evans Ranch Elementary and to children at the local state preschool. It appears he has as much fun reading to the students as they do listening to him.
"I won't say I'm a ham, but I do love to be animated," he said. "I like to interact with the children. When I'm with them, I think of my granddaughter. She has teeth missing just like the kids here.

"The overall experience last year was great for the team because it was aired on a national level and put on in a special way; it caused our team to really have to focus. It helped our young men understand preparation and how to stay in the moment," said Brian Jenkins Sr., head coach at Bethune-Cookman. "Everything was done in a first-class manner and being invited back for a second time and as the first team to appear in back-to-back years is great. We are very thankful for this opportunity and hope we have continued success with this event."

Groundbreaking Asthma Intervention Lessons Help Inner-City Children
Child Health News - G J E 4
The Inner-City Asthma Intervention (ICAI), a four-year project at 25 health care institutions around the country funded by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), implemented findings from successful clinical trials to help inner-city children with chronic asthma and their families.
The purpose of the ICAI project - published this month in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the scientific journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) - was to determine whether the National Cooperative Inner-City Asthma Study (NCICAS) could be implemented in the community setting.
AdvertisementEditorial author Meyer Kattan, M.D., of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, describes the project as an "important first step to determine barriers that must be overcome to translate a successful clinical trial into a successful community-based program." Dr. Kattan acknowledged that the experience gained in the ICAI identified these barriers and found some workable solutions.
Although only approximately half of the 4,174 children that were enrolled completed the core intervention activities, and a limited 1-site evaluation showed only small improvements, the ICAI served its purpose in providing a guide for implementation of an asthma program in poor, disadvantaged populations.
"Many asthma interventions such as NCICAS have been shown to be effective in the context of grant-funded clinical trials," said ACAAI Vice President Jay M. Portnoy, M.D., who participated in testing the model at Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics, Kansas City, Mo. "The real challenge is to implement them effectively in real-world situations where less than perfect adherence and follow-up occur."
"I would like to see more implementation projects of this type. If we don't follow-up our scientifically-based interventions with public dissemination, then research that is funded by our public dollars is unlikely to benefit our patients in the way that it should. Given the world-wide increase in asthma morbidity and mortality, we cannot afford to overlook this resource. We have a lot of work to do. The time to start is now," Dr. Portnoy said.
The ICAI underscores the NCICAS finding that a social worker is best suited to address risk factors involving living conditions, social welfare and mental health issues of the family, while also serving as an asthma educator. The counselor intervention can be implemented in a variety of settings, and was recognized by the families as a value to them.

This weekend (August 15 and 16) the O'Dell House Museum will be celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Over its 40 years the museum has become a centre for many of the historic persuits in Annapolis Royal. In addition to the ground floor which is displayed as a house from the 1860s, the museum houses the Annapolis Heritage Society Genealogy Centre and the AHS artifact and archival collections. The second floor of the museum is also used for contemporary exhibits. We are currently featuring Summer Bride, 100 Years of Registered Nursing and Annapolis Goes to Sea.
An important part of the events to celebrate our 40th anniversary is the dedication of the AHS Genealogy Centre library as the Wagner Library. Marguerite and Ralph Wagner were not only founding members of the Annapolis Heritage Society (originally called Historic Restoration Enterprises) but they were leaders in a movement to restore the Annapolis Royal waterfront. While I never had the opportunity to meet her, I know of Marguerite's reputation as an energetic and dedicated soul. I encounter the hallmarks of the Wagners on a daily basis as I make my way through the O'Dell House Museum. The dedication of the library will take place at 1:00 on Saturday.
Today's image comes from the Wagner family. It shows the O'Dell House Museum's official ribbon cutting by Dr. Jack Kerr, Mayor of Annapolis Royal in 1969. Tomorrow's post will be about our Sunday afternoon presentation of 5 Stab Wounds in the Governor.
All for now,

On the Simplified Measurement of Interaural Crosscorrelation Coefficient and Its Effects on Sound Imaging and Quality
A study of sound images produced by loudspeakers in typical listening rooms pointed up the importance of the interaural crosscorrelation coefficient (IACC) in determining the impression of distance, strength, and clarity in the overall sound image. To permit quantitative evaluation of IACC, a simple, direct readout correlation meter was developed. Studies using the simplified measurement techniques revealed marked variations in IACC due to loudspeaker construction and installation. The effect of these variations, even though transmission frequency response and reverberation time are practically equal, is a notable change in clarity, strength, and perceived distance of the sound image. The result is that a higher IACC tends to be more desirable in terms of the quality of the sound image.

Overweight Kids May Benefit from Chromium
Effects of chromium in kids
Researchers invited 25, overweight, 9- to 12-year-old children to participate in a six-week study on the effects of chromium on insulin sensitivity, body fat levels, and lean body (muscle) mass. The children were randomly selected to take 400 mcg per day of chromium or a placebo pill providing no chromium. All of the children participated in a lifestyle modification program of three 90-minute aerobic activity sessions per week and nutrition education.
After six weeks, compared with the placebo group, the children taking daily chromium experienced significant:
- Decreases in fasting insulin levels
- Improvements in a measure of insulin sensitivity
- Increases in lean body mass
- Decreases in body fat mass
In the chromium-supplemented group, the children who had not yet gone through puberty experienced the largest improvements in insulin sensitivity and body composition.
Chromium, with caveats
Before you add chromium to your child's diet, remember that no dietary supplement is completely risk-free. Products must be used appropriately, especially by children, who may be particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of supplements. Use the following tips to decide if chromium is right for your family.
- Consult a professional. Talk to your doctor before you add any dietary supplements to your child's health and wellness plan.
- Read labels. To avoid giving your child too much chromium, read labels and stick to recommended intake levels. The daily adequate intake (AI) levels for chromium are:
- 25 mcg for 9- to 13-year-old boys
- 21 mcg for 9- to13-year-old girls
- 35 mcg for 14- to 18-year-old boys
- 24 mcg for 14- to18-year-old girls
- Supplement short-term. If you want to give your child 400 mcg per day of chromium—the amount of used in this study—stick to six weeks. The safety of long-term, high-dose chromium supplements for kids has not been established.
- Get moving. Help your overweight child become more active by modeling good behavior. Add a regular game of tag or walks to a local park. And remember that for overweight kids, adding in exercise is safer than cutting calories, which you should never do without medical supervision.
- Focus on food. Make smart food choices and help your child do the same. Keep junk food out of the house and make sure healthy snack options, such as apples, yogurt, veggies, and hummus, are available.
- Stop the liquid sugar habit. Most kids and teens take in more than 10% of daily calories from soda, juice, and other sugary drinks. Help your child cut these out and reaching a healthy weight becomes much easier.

The special system SG-LO was designed for continuous casting applications of steel and steel alloys. Its robust design allows the use in extremely rough environments, such as spray zone I in the casting process. The system consists of a displaced measuring head with air purge, a 5 m long armoured tube and an air-feed-system.
The air purge cools the measuring head. Together with the flange connected tube it does also protect the pyrometers field of view. The remainig view-distance from the tube to the measuring object is kept free of steam, water, smoke and dust by the air purge. Moreover it prevents the pyrometer optics from contamination.
The system works with the IMPAC fibre-optics pyrometers:
each with optical head II.
The distance between the measuring head and the air-infeed system is 5 m. Accordingly the lenth of the fibre-optics should be at least 7.5 m, so that there is 2.5 m left for the installation of the pyrometer. Special length of the armoured tube are possible on request.
The continuous casting measurement system is delivered without pyrometer and fibre optics!

HAVERHILL, Mass. — The Atlantic Hockey Association pre-season coaches' poll is in, and after its first NCAA Tournament appearance representing Atlantic Hockey, Niagara ranks in as the top pick by the coaches. Last season's regular season champ received three (3) first place votes and totaled 102 points overall.
Air Force (two (2) first place votes) and Mercyhurst (four (4) first place votes) were deadlocked in the No. 2 spot by the coaches tallying 98 points each.
After its first Atlantic Hockey Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance last season, Canisius grabbed three (3) first place votes and finished in fourth place with 92 points.
RIT finished in fifth place with 81 points, while Connecticut follows in sixth with 79 points. Robert Morris came in seventh (66 points), Holy Cross was chosen eighth with 59 points, with Bentley coming in ninth with 53 points. Army (28 points), American International (22 points), and Sacred Heart (16 points) round out the final three spots in the poll.
Niagara kicks off the Atlantic Hockey regular season on Saturday, October 5 as it hosts Clarkson at home. Holy Cross will host Simon Fraser in an exhibition contest on Saturday, while RIT will also play on Saturday as the Tigers host Queen's in an exhibition match-up.
The 2013 Atlantic Hockey Tournament will feature the same format from last year. The top four teams receive a bye into the Quarterfinals with seeds 5-8 hosting seeds 9-12 in a best two-out-of-three First Round series starting Friday, March 7.

We've been lamenting our freezing heater-less apartment all winter. As much as we love wearing thick socks and our toasty bathrobe well past the acceptable morning hours of pajama wear, we wish we had something to up the heat in our apartment. Behold, the Hausfire Indoor Fireplace ($2,250). Look away from the price tag... We think this beautiful fireplace would benefit us in two ways: One, our frozen fingers won't literally creak as we type on our computer. Two, we'll be able to wear the cute clothes that have been on standby since our apartment froze over. So, technically we'll make more money and look cuter doing it. Sounds like a win to us.

Woods hunting for first major win since 2008
Tiger Woods is back. His three wins on the PGA Tour in 2012 are more than any other player. However, Tiger still hasn't won a major since 2008. Will his luck change at Royal Lytham?
By Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM Chief of Correspondents
LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England -- Tiger Woods was 20 when he played Royal Lytham & St. Annes for the first time.
The year was 1996 and Woods had just completed his second year at Stanford. He'd accomplished everything in the amateur ranks -- and more -- by winning three straight U.S. Junior Amateurs, two consecutive U.S. Ams and the NCAA title that June. The question of turning pro was when, not if.
When Woods reeled off seven birdies in an 11-hole stretch on the way to a 66 that Friday at Royal Lytham, he had the answer. The gangly Californian went on to tie for 22nd and earn the Silver Medal that goes to the low amateur. He knew it was time.
"The Open Championship that year basically, I thought, pushed me towards turning pro versus going back to college," Woods said Tuesday. "I was still kind of iffy about whether I should turn pro or not. But that gave me so much confidence that I could do it at a high level, I could shoot those scores and I could play against the top players in the world on a very difficult track."
Indeed. Woods won his first major championship in just his 15th start as a pro. He has gone on to win 13 more, including three British Opens. Only the great Jack Nicklaus has more, with a record 18 to set the target for Woods.
Woods returns to Royal Lytham this week with his supremacy slightly suspect, though.
Yes, he's won three times this year -- moving past Nicklaus into second on the all-time PGA TOUR wins list with 74 wins, eight behind leader Sam Snead. And yes, he leads the FedExCup standings and will look to win his third FedExCup title when the Playoffs start next month.
But no, he hasn't won a major since the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. And the last time he lifted the Claret Jug came in 2006 at Hoylake outside Liverpool, minutes after sobbing on then-caddie Steve Williams' shoulder as he thought about his father Earl who had recently passed away. In fact, that was the last time he's had a top-10 finish in the British Open.
As impressive as Woods' career continues to be -- and make no mistake, it is far from over -- there are those who think the 36-year-old's comeback won't be complete until he adds to his major haul. He came close at the 2009 PGA, overtaken for the first time on Sunday by Y.E. Yang, and he has five other finishes of sixth or better since his last major win.
At the same time, his opportunities have been somewhat limited. He has missed four of the last 16 majors after having knee surgeries and nursing an ailing Achilles. And only recently has that swing he overhauled under the tutelage of Sean Foley begun to cooperate, as he's now able to make the necessary adjustments when it goes awry.
So while some wonder if there's another major in his future, Woods is working hard to make sure it happens. There is no sense of anxiety, no impatience on his part.
"First of all, I had to go through that whole process of just getting healthy again," Woods explained. "Being banged up and missing major championships because of it in a couple year stretch there wasn't a whole lot of fun. ... I figure if I'm healthy, then I can prepare properly for major championships and I can get myself there."
At the same time, Woods is at a loss to explain the inconsistencies in his game this year. The win at Bay Hill followed by a tie for 40th at the Masters. The win at Muirfield Village followed by a tie for 21st at the U.S. Open when he faded away on the weekend. The win at Congressional followed by a missed cut two weeks ago at The Greenbrier Classic.
It's all part of what Woods has repeatedly called the "process" of rebuilding his swing. He says he's not sure where he stands in that arc -- near the beginning or closer to the end -- but he feels the things he and Foley are working on are starting to solidify.
"If I knew the answer I'd tell you, but I don't," Woods said, adding his probably won't be able to assess the point of progress until his career is over. "I just keep trying to work and keep trying to get better. And I've had a few wins this year, which is good. But also I've had a few poor performances as well. So I'm just trying to get better, get more consistent. And that's something I'm looking forward to in the future."
Woods would like nothing better, though, to find the future is now. A three-win season already seems like old times for the man who won nine in 2000, the same year he started the Tiger Slam at the U.S. Open. A win at Royal Lytham could return him to No. 1, too.
"I feel like everything is headed toward Thursday," Woods said, "and I'm looking forward to it."

Les Double Six: Stockholm Sweetnin' (Un Coin Merveilleux)
Stockholm Sweetnin' (Un Coin Merveilleux)
Les Double Six
Les Double Six (RCA Victor 65659)
Mimi Perrin (vocals), Christiane Legrand (vocals), Ward Swingle (vocals), Claude Germain (vocals), Jean-Claude Briodin (vocals), Jacques Denjean (vocals),
Art Simons (piano), Michel Gaudry (bass); Christian Garros (drums).
Composed by Quincy Jones; lyrics by Mimi Perrin.
Recorded: Paris, April 1960
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
"Stockholm Sweetnin'" was composed by Quincy Jones for an all-star recording session featuring Clifford Brown, Art Farmer and several Swedish jazz stars. Brown's solo was one of his finest, and when he died in June 1956, Jones transcribed the solo and orchestrated it for his big band. This version by The Double Six of Paris was based on the big band version and Jones coached the group for this recording. Mimi Perrin's French vocalese lyrics are about two lovers preparing a romantic getaway, but the most remarkable aspect of the recording is the Double Six's meticulous re-creation of the big band version, not only in singing all of the notes, but also in the phrasing of the original soloists and ensemble. Christiane Legrand is the first soloist, singing Art Farmer's solo from the remake, followed by Mimi Perrin, singing the alto saxophone solo by Phil Woods. The orchestrated Clifford Brown solo appears after Art Simons' piano solo, and while the voices don't attempt to re-create the orchestral timbres from Jones' big band chart, the relaxed feeling of both the combo original and the big band remake is perfectly realized.
The Double Six recorded four albums under Mimi Perrin's leadership, including recordings with Dizzy Gillespie and Jerome Richardson. However, the Double Six's ultimate legacy may be as the birthplace of the Swingle Singers, which included four of above singers (Legrand, Swingle, Germain and Briodin). Even with the Swingle Singers' quick rise to international success, a look at the personnel for the later Double Six albums reveals that several of the singers were recording with both groups at the same time.

Look kid what you are trying to do looks very easy in theory but is not in practical.
First of all if both of your consoles are Fat than YES you can swap the drives because in 2011 Microsoft made all the Fat drives identical to each other in terms of firmware.
Now how to do that??
You are saying that you would like to swap the mother boards too, BUT it would not work because one drive is lite-on and the other drive is BenQ and in also that soldering, attaching and detaching stuff is too dangerous many peoples have lost their drives by this method.
What you have to do:
*If you have the key saved with you in Dummy.bin or fw.bin then well in good you are good to go BUT if not than you have to buy the CK3 Probe to extract the key out of your lite-on circuit board.
*So when you take out the key out of your Lite-on circuit board simply save it in Dummy.bin or fw.bin.
*Attach your BenQ Drive with your PC and Flash it using the same Dummy.bin or in other words using the same key because your console is connected to that key which is in your genuine drive(In your case it's the key of Lite-on)
And you are done.
But I would like to warn you here since there is a possibility that Microsoft can check you, You may be some time get Ban from Xbox live because of using different drive in your console. So my advise will be to buy a used or new Lite-on drive and then flash it with your drive key.
But you if you don't care for online and xbox live than go for it
I hope that answers your question.

Kavey Eats in Morrisons Magazine
I'm very pleased to be in the March/ April issue of the Morrisons supermarket magazine.
They've created a "Blogspot" page in which they share a selection of blogs that have caught their eye recently. Included is a reference to one of my recent posts on Japan about the sweet marshmallow delicacies called Owara Tamaten, that we discovered in Takayama.
As I'm in the company of esteemed writers such as Signe Johansen (Scandilicious), Ms Marmite Lover and Marina O'Loughlin, amongst others, I'm doubly delighted.
Read more about my experiences in Japan, here. (This lists the most recent posts first, so scroll down to the end and read back upwards if you wish to read them in order.)

We running Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 with Mac OS X 10.5.8 clients. Students use network logins to, well, log in.
I've been asked to deny internet access to a specific user. I was told that a good way to do it is to create a user workgroup called "No Internet Access" and manage settings there. (Specifically, I told parental controls to allow access to no sites, and blacklisted all the installed web browsers).
Now, when the user authenticates to log in, they are greeted with this dialog:
Workgroups for <username>
Grade 7 Students
No Internet Access
It is unlikely that the student would willing choose "No Internet Access" to be their base group.
Looking in Workgroup Manager at the student's record, it shows their primary group ID is the grade 7 group, and "No Internet Access" is listed as another group they belong to.
I looked at the managed preferences for all the computers pertaining to logins. They are set to their defaults. Specifically, the computer groups' preference for Logins -> Access has the defaults:
- [unchecked] Ignore workgroup nesting
- [checked] Combine available workgroup settings
Based on my reading of Tips and Tricks for Mac Administrators, this should be correct, the user should not be asked which group they belong to, and settings from all applicable groups should be applied. How can I achieve that result?
Edit: I've decided to add some additional information from the Tips and Tricks for Mac Management White Paper (via Apple in Education, via the author's site).
On page 21, it says:
With Leopard MCX, workgroup preference settings are combined by default into a single set of values. This means that instead of having to choose between the Math, Science, or Language Arts workgroups when logging in, a user can just authenticate and be taken directly to the desktop. All the settings for each of those workgroups are composited together, providing you with all the Dock items and a composite of all the other settings.
On page 40, an example is given in which settings are combined from different 'domains', one computer group, two (user) workgroups, and one individual user's settings.
[When johnd logs into a leopard client,] the items staged in the Dock from left to right are: computer group, first workgroup alphabetically, second workgroup, user. Items within the workgroup are staged alphabetically.
Nowhere is there an indication that groups are nested; indeed, I can see no sensible (non-flat) heirarchy for groups like Math, Science, and Language Arts.
I strongly believe that there is a way to apply settings from two unrelated user workgroups such that a user of OS X 10.5.x or newer does not need to choose their workgroup. This is what I seek to achieve.

7 Reasons to Get Rid of Your Fence
From Engineering on September 02, 2008 in Fencing
Im sitting in my sons yard on this beautiful early morning, enjoying a cup of coffee and taking in the sounds of nature. I start realizing he has too much fencing, at least to my liking. I see why he has some fencing up, but why others? Now Im thinking, why would my son, or any other homeowner, want to get rid of their fencing? I come up with the following reasons:
- Its just too hard to maintain.
- Where is that fence located? There is plenty of property to open up to, why block it off?
- The fence is old, run down and an eye sore to the place.
- It just isnt aesthetically pleasing.
- The fence blocks others from viewing me, but Im tired of my view being blocked from the beauty of the world around me.
- The fencing materials are not safe for my lifestyle with children and pets.
- The fence just isnt practical or functional to my needs, my garden, my play area, and my animals.
Well, I came up with 7 reasons to get rid of my sons fences, but I also see his need for fencing. Maybe I could give him some ideas for some changes. Lets see.
My first thought is, how it will look and what material to use. Now I think, do we go with hardscape and just change the fencing or softscape and use nature? There are so many types of fencing out there. He could still use wood, like he has everywhere, but the choices are tremendous, including vinyl fencing and metal fencing.
Lets not forget that with the kids and pets, safety is important. I prefer the softscape approach. Maybe he can be convinced to put in some hedges or shrubs to replace the fences that break up parts of his property; the birds would love it. There is a wired fence that goes around the big garden with wood slats, ugly. I think lattice and vines would suit that area. And the privacy fence does wonders for the eyes looking in, but I like looking out, or at least to feel like I am. Maybe a bamboo fence or just bamboo plants; he is into going green, I think hell like that idea.
Well, I need another cup of coffee. Are you thinking about getting rid of your fences? Tell us about it!

Liposuction Alternatives
The latest surgical techniques have made it possible to slenderize and contour almost any area on the body. Since liposuction was first introduced in the 1970s, it has gone through a number of changes. Modern fat removal techniques uses local anesthetic, smaller and more precise instruments, lasers, water-jets, ultrasonic waves and other technologies that have vastly improved the safety, outcomes, recovery times and experiences for both patients and surgeons.
This page offers a quick overview of various techniques. After you read through the summaries, locate surgeons in your area and learn about the procedures they offer. Although there are many options and techniques to consider, the most important factor is your surgeon's experience. Find a surgeon who is licensed, trained and experienced in liposuction.
Tumescent Liposuction
It is the first technique to use localized anesthetic rather than general anesthesia. The method injects a diluted "tumescent" mixture of fluids into the fatty tissue before removing it. Patients are mildly sedated with local anesthetics (such as lidocaine). Points of incision are minimal, do not require stitches and leave no scars.
The tumescent lipo technique dramatically reduced incidents of post-surgical trauma. The injected fluids cause the fatty tissues to "tumesce," i.e. become firm and swollen, giving the surgeon better control during surgery and reducing blood loss for the patient. The body will gradually absorb and eliminate the fluids after surgery. This technique reduces side effects and improves recovery time. Most people return to work within a few days after surgery.
Laser Liposuction or Laser Lipolysis
Laser-assisted liposuction, or laser lipolysis, is one of the fast growing and exciting fat removal developments since tumescent liposuction. It incorporates a small surgical laser to target and melt away fat before it is suctioned from the body. The use of surgical lasers allows for greater precision and more refined outcomes. Advances using laser technology make it possible to target and melt fat cells, while leaving muscle and nerve tissue unharmed. Laser lipos reduces pain, scarring, swelling and bruising, and patients experience a quicker recovery. This technique might be more expensive than traditional or tumescent liposuction; however, many people find that the improved results make it worth the extra cost.
The SmartLipo systems and laser workstations have three generations of laser systems. It has been referred to as the "golden standard" of laser liposuction. The SmartLipo laser was the first to target laser lipolysis, and it remains a leader of the industry. Cynosure, the manufacturer, recently released the third-generation SmartLipo Tri-Plex™, after the second-generation SmartLipo MPX™, featuring two different laser wavelengths. Each is specialized to produce ideal surgical results. SmartLipo™ laser systems are FDA-approved.
CoolTouch manufactures the CoolLipo® lasers. The CoolLipo® laser technique is especially designed to break down fat and simulate collagen production simultaneously. This combination of technologies increases collagen production and skin tightening. In addition, it reduces the appearance of lines, wrinkles, creping and saggy, flabby skin. The laser can be used in a variety of areas, including small areas such as the jowls, chin and neck. CoolLipo® is FDA approved for both general dermatological surgery and laser liposuction.
LipoLite, manufactured by Syneron, allows doctors and surgeons unprecedented control over the laser's pulse energy, pulse length and repetition rate. The added features, functionality and user-friendly configurability allow doctors to customize their patient's treatment. Short-low-power pulses break up highly fibrous areas and fatty tissues, while longer and more powerful pulses melt the fat. The LipoLite is FDA approved for laser lipolysis and various other dermatological procedures.
LipoTherme® and LipoControl®
Osyris Medical USA offers two lasers: LipoTherme and LipoControl. LipoTherme and LipoControl feature high-powered lasers that fire continuously, rather than in pulses. Physicians like these machines because they have optimum control of the laser output, ranging from 1 to 25 watts of energy. This allows the doctor to configure and match the laser power to the specific needs of the patient and the targeted area of the body. The FDA has approved both devices.
Water-Jet® Assisted Liposuction
Water-Jet assisted liposuction is making waves with plastic surgeons. The technique uses a high-pressure spray of water to dislodge fat in the targeted areas before the fat and water are suctioned out. This technique reduces tissue trauma and allows surgeons greater control than many other methods. It takes less time, and some studies reveal that it reduces the appearance of cellulite. Because it is a newer procedure, not as many surgeons offer currently this technique.
Ultrasonic Liposuction
Ultrasonic liposuction, also known as UAL, uses sound waves and ultrasonic technology to aid in the removal of unwanted fat. High pitched sound waves passing through the cannula; loose, disrupt and liquefy fatty tissue, before it is removed from the body. In addition, the ultrasonic liposuction technique dilutes the fat with an injected liquid solution, making it easier to remove the fat.
Body-Jet® Liposuction
Body-Jet liposuction is another form of fat removal that achieves better results and body contouring. It reduces downtime even more than other techniques. Body-Jet is also known as "Water Lipo" or "H2O Lipo." Body-Jet water-assisted liposuction harnesses the healing power of water by loosening fat cells without damaging them, and then removing them from the body. A special water solution separates layers of fat cells at their weakest points. This means that surrounding blood vessels and connective tissues remain intact, making the Body-Jet less invasive while delivering significant slimming results.

Tracy Morgan is getting an HBO comedy special, TV Guide has learned.
Tracy Morgan: Black & Blue premieres Nov. 13 @ 10pm ET on HBO.
The stand-up special was taped in front of a live audience back in September at New York's Apollo Theatre, where the Bronx native was discovered more than 20 years ago. Black & Blue features "audacious observations on such subjects as the difference between white and black culture, drugs, meeting President Obama, white rage, airport profiling, terrorism and sex," according to a statement from HBO.
"The special is going to be all the elements: fire, water, earth, air, the comedy bender, the avatar of comedy experience," says Morgan, who appeared on sketch comedy hit Saturday Night Live before his Emmy-nominated turn as Tracy Jordan on NBC's 30 Rock, now in its fifth season.

Every few weeks, I get a note from a reader about a penny stock. And when I respond, I always say roughly the same thing: that OTC, microcap issues trading for a few cents (or a few fractions of a cent) are an all-out gamble, not an investment.
I reference the 2000 movie Boiler Room, I mention past articles about penny stock scams and real penny stock horror stories I've heard firsthand from real investors.
But it never seems to matter. Certain people are wired to trade penny stocks because those stocks are cheap and fast-moving, dangling the allure of turning a few hundred bucks into a few thousand overnight.
Like I said, it's glorified gambling. But hey, who am I to judge?
Instead of pointing out the obvious perils, this time I'd like to share a question from a reader that could help you penny stock investors steer clear of the obvious losers and perhaps invest more … um … responsibly in OTC microcaps.
The idea I want to riff on today regards microcap miners, a big growth industry judging by the makeup of OTC penny stock rolls. I have had a pair of questions in the past week or so about this shady little corner of the stock market, and while I won't name specific penny stocks — it only incurs the wrath of pump-and-dumpers and oddly enough legitimizes these scandalous operations — I'd like to speak broadly about this common penny stock scam.
The idea is simple: You prey on investors who see soaring commodity prices and dangle the idea of a brand-new mine that is about to get up and running, hopefully cranking out tons of silver and gold a few years down the road.
You can see how this works — it's the classic Wimpy scam from Popeye: "I will gladly pay you on Thursday for a hamburger today!" In other words, you give these companies the capital to build out their mining operations, and they (in theory) will eventually pay you back in spades once the metal comes out in big shiny hunks.
Here's the problem:
Many of these penny stock scams involve no mines, no practical process to get permits or equipment to operate a mine, and sometimes not even any tangible land holdings. And in the off chance there indeed is land or a few machines, there is no guarantee that any metal — precious or otherwise — exists underground.
In other words, the penny stock scam is predicated on you buying into a mining company that has no intention of mining anything.
You might hear about a permit submission (not approval, of course) or an aerial survey (how does flying at 10,000 feet inform you about underground deposits?) or other clever ruses that indicate things are humming along. But remember that unless actual metal can be proven to exist in the ground and the actual infrastructure exists to extract it, these companies are just messing with you.
Now, with the collapse of gold prices, we might see this kind of penny stock scam roll back. But I doubt it. One reader recently wrote into highlight a penny stock miner that actually is trying the same shtick, but with copper instead of gold. It works with any commodity, really, so don't think it's only gold penny stocks that apply.
I won't chide penny stock investors with further complaints about how this is an irresponsible way to invest. Heck, I waste money on plenty of things and have been known to play blackjack when the mood strikes me … so if it's a hobby or pastime, have at it.
Just keep in mind this common penny stock scam if you must dabble in OTC microcaps.

News from Unity
Unity Health System's Albert Jones, M.D., chair of the OB/GYN department, is the recipient of the 2012 Patients' Choice award.
The Patients' Choice honor is given as a reflection of patients' continued appreciation and praise for the quality of care and service from their provider.
Every month, more than 200,000 patients across the U.S. provide online feedback about their doctor experiences. They rate various components of the care they receive, such as bedside manner, doctor-patient time, follow-up care, ease of appointment setting and courtesy of office staff. They also share their overall opinions.
Over the course of 2012, hundreds of thousands of patient reviews were written and shared. While physicians generally receive positive feedback from their patients, only a select few consistently receive rave reviews.
Of those with high praise, only physicians like Dr. Jones- with near perfect scores- are voted by their patients for this honor. Of the nation's 870,000 active physicians, only five percent were accorded this honor by their patients in 2012.
Dr. Jones' distinction will be prominently displayed on a broad collection of websites, including Patients' Choice, Vitals, Google, a variety of managed care sites and top health insurance sites.
At Unity Health System you'll find the friendliest and most compassionate people dedicated to providing the best possible health care experience in over 70 locations.

A year and a half later, I began working at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo. Part of my job was to teach groups of visitors about the behavior and adaptation of small mammals, reptiles, birds and invertebrates. I enjoyed this immensely, but there was a problem: the dreaded tarantula. I had to sit with his little aquarium on my lap and pretend to crowds of children that the dangerous, hairy spider and I were the best of friends. "Tarantulas are cool!" I'd say. "Did you know that there are approximately 900 different kinds in the world?" "Wow!" the kids would shout. "Can we pet him?" Thankfully, petting tarantulas was not allowed at the zoo. "Sorry, you can't, but you can pet his exoskeleton, the shell he sloughs off. I have it right here!" I would then offer amazing little facts about spiders while inside I was terrified that the tarantula would escape, crawl under my shirt and sink his fangs into my neck.
A few weeks into my job, the inevitable occurred. A small girl, about five, looked up at me with her big brown eyes and sweetly asked, "What's his name?" The first thing that popped out of my mouth was, "Murray. His name is Murray." I didn't even know if the tarantula was a girl or a boy, but Murray it was from then on. I'd begin my nature talks with, "This is Murray the tarantula. Come closer. Don't be afraid."
Something happens when you give a name to fear. Showing "Murray" to the visitors at the zoo was different from showing "the big hairy spider." I started reading more about spiders, talking to keepers and zoologists and studying Murray as he moved around his tiny, singular world. Eventually, I grew fond of him—with his four pairs of legs, his retractable claws, his spinnerets and his eight, count them, eight beady black eyes. And just as I used to save the beautiful snakeskins and feathers I found behind the scenes at the zoo, I started saving Murray's soft brown exoskeletons whenever he shed them.
When my mother and I eventually reconnected tentatively through the mail, my spider hallucinations didn't return. And when I finally reunited with her at the end of her life many years later, the spiders still kept their distance. It has now been five years since my mother passed away, and it looks as if those spiders aren't ever coming back. Just the other day, while out walking my dog in the woods, I marched right into a giant web. My face was covered with sticky silk, baby spiders and dead bugs. I didn't scream or feel the slightest tinge of fear. I simply wiped the mess off my face, laughed at myself and kept going.

The Dogs Who Saved Me
By Jo Ann Beard
His name is Luigi, and they say he turned himself in. It isn't unusual for the shelter workers to find a dog (or two) tied to the fence in the morning, but Luigi was just sitting quietly at the gate, no rope, no collar, nothing but a look of serious resignation on his grizzled face. They put him in a run and named him after someone's grandpa, and that's where he's been ever since, staring out but rarely barking like the rest of them, licking a hand but rarely taking the treat. Next to him is Cookie, who has been at the shelter for six years now, a brindle pit in an enormous, cacophonous shelter where there might as well be brindle-pit wallpaper. She takes a treat with great delicacy, circling a couple of times and then lying down to eat it, crunch, crunch, before coming back for another. It's how she fills her time, stretching out every good thing as long as possible.

Jon Esser, Associate Dean of the Purchase College School of the Arts, recently conducted a one-week intensive "Green" Furniture workshop at the Universidad Iberoamericana (UIA) in Mexico City. Purchase College has an exchange program with UIA that was initiated in 2005. The students used materials taken from the environment of Mexico City and its surroundings and transformed these materials into functional furniture: tables, chairs, cabinets, shelves, etc.
UIA is situated in Santa Fe, an up-and-coming neighborhood over a ridge just beyond the Mexico City limits. Santa Fe is filled with gleaming office towers, elaborate corporate headquarters and several universities. Ironically, this fashionable district was until recently a solid waste dump for Mexico City. "It was the history of solid waste and recycling that inspired me to conduct a one-week intensive studio project with Ibero students using recycled materials," said Esser, who is a member of the New Media faculty at Purchase. He is the recipient of a SUNY Chancellor's Award for Creativity and Academic Achievement as well as a research grant from IBM Watson Labs. His work includes mixed media, digital prints and interactive sculpture.
The UIA students ranged from freshmen to juniors and were all industrial design majors. Their approaches to the workshop varied considerably in style and technique. Some made use of the computer numeric controlled router to fabricate parts of their projects, others preferred to work by hand. Some chose to work individually, others worked as design teams. With the aid of UIA's facilities and support staff, a wide variety of work was on display by the end of the week.
This year UIA and Purchase are sending their first students abroad as part of this program. The program is set up so that students who have completed a year of study at their home institution will be eligible to study at the exchange institution for a semester or a year. The initial phase will focus on the study of Graphic Design. Students from Iberoamericana will study at the Purchase College School of the Arts, School of Art+Design. Purchase students will study under the Design Department at Iberoamericana.
Art and design at the two schools compliment each other well. Purchase has more fine art offerings, while UIA has more applied art programs. Purchase and UIA are working on a dual degree program that will allow Graphic Design students to receive degrees in "Transamerican" Design.
UIA is also seeking to establish a dual degree program in New Media. UIA has established the first Interactive Media program in Central/South America and recently received funding from Microsoft for their concentration in computer gaming design.

Offensive lineman Xavier Su'a-Filo was selected by the Houston Texans with the first pick, No. 33 overall, on Day Two of the NFL Player Draft. The Bruins have now had offensive linemen chosen in back-to-back drafts (Jeff Baca in 2013) for the first time since 1998 (Chad Overhauser-seventh round) and 1999 (Kris Farris-third round).
Su'a-Filo's second-round selection is the highest for a Bruin offensive lineman since Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden was tabbed by the Baltimore Ravens with the No. 4 overall pick in 1996. It is the first time UCLA has had two of the first 33 picks since the 1991 Draft when defensive back Eric Turner went second overall to the Browns and linebacker Roman Phifer went in the second round, No. 31 overall, to the Rams.
After the first-round selection of Anthony Barr by the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, NFL teams have made 30 UCLA player selections in the first round of the draft, dating back to Cal Rossi in 1947, the No. 4 overall pick by the Redskins. UCLA also became the lone Pac-12 school to feature a first-round selection in each of the last two drafts (Datone Jones No. 26 – Green Bay in 2013).
The last Bruin selected by the Vikings in the first round was linebacker Fred McNeill (No. 17 selection in 1974). He went on to enjoy a 12-year career with the franchise and played in Super Bowls IX and XI. McNeill played on Viking defenses, nicknamed the "Purple People Eaters", which led the NFC in fewest points allowed (1976) and fewest total yards allowed (1975).
The most recent NFL draft featuring a Bruin selection in both rounds one and two came in 2006 when the Jacksonville Jaguars chose tight end Marcedes Lewis with the 28th pick of the first round and then running back Maurice Jones-Drew with the 60th overall selection in round two.
Some other recent Bruin second-round picks include – LB Akeem Ayers No. 39 by Tennessee and S Rahim Moore No. 45 by Denver in 2011; DL Brian Price No. 35 by Tampa Bay in 2010; RB Maurice Jones-Drew No. 60 by Jacksonville in 2006; RB DeShaun Foster No. 34 by Carolina in 2002.
UCLA had four players selected overall in last year's draft. In addition to the first-round selection of defensive end Jones by the Packers, Green Bay also picked running back Johnathan Franklin in the fourth round. The Vikings chose punter Jeff Locke in round five and offensive guard Jeff Baca in round six.
Television coverage of rounds four through seven continues on Saturday on the NFL Network and ESPN Networks (ESPN/ESPN2) beginning at 9 a.m. PT. The event will also be streamed over WatchESPN and NFL.com. There will be 256 selections, in all, by the 32 NFL teams.

TUCSON - Home runs by Lovie Jung and Leneah Manuma in a three-run third inning propelled Arizona to a 3-0 victory over California in college softball Friday night.
A crowd of 2,261 watched Arizona pitcher Jennie Finch settle down after a bit of early trouble and throw hitless ball for the final five innings to earn her 28th victory of the year.
California (45-17 overall and 9-7 in Pac-10 play) loaded the bases in the
first but came up empty on the scoreboard. Kaleo Eldridge reached on
catcher's interference, Kristen Morley hit into a fielder's choice, Candace
Harper singled and Veronica Nelson walked. But Finch struck out Courtney
Scott and got Jesssica Pamanian to pop to third.
A one-out single by Mikella Pedretti and a walk by Kristen Bayless gave Cal another runner in scoring position in the second inning.Finch got Eldridge to fly out and Morley singled, but UA left fielder Courtney Fossatti gunned down pinch-runner Forrest at the plate.
Cal's Jocelyn Forest , who had thrown a one-hitter in beating Arizona, 2-1, in Berkeley April 21, held the Cats hitless for two inings, but shortstop Lovie Jung greeted her with a home run, her 15th of the year, to lead off the Arizona third.
Courtney Fossatti singled on the next pitch and an out later Leneah Manuma hit her 18th homer, a towering shot a half-dozen feet shy of the 45-foot facade of Ina Gittings Gym about 35 feet beyond the right-field fence to make it 3-0.That chased Forest and the Bears brought on Cassie Bobrow.
Arizona improved to 46-7 overall and 13-3 in league action. UA plays Stanford Saturday and Sunday to close its home season. The Bears travel to ASU for games Saturday and Sunday.
NOTES... Manuma's home run was her first since March 30... Finch tossed her 17th shutout of the year... The two home runs gave the Cats' 82 on the season...

In game three Dakota State jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back, adding three more runs in the fifth inning for their only victory of the series.
Saturday's action saw the Wildcats win a 3-2 decision in the series opener thanks to a complete game from Chris Cummins. Steven Stewart, Joshua Zach, and Chris Derby all recorded RBI's in the game.
Baker closed out Saturday's action with a commanding 7-2 victory. James Gricol picked up the victory going five innings on the bump while giving up four hits and two earned runs. Joey Orozco highlighted things offensively for Baker going 2-for-3 with three RBI's. Chris Derby also chipped in with two RBI's going 1-for-3 at the plate.
Baker returns to action on Feb. 28 when the Wildcats travel to Tabor College (7-3) for a 1 p.m., doubleheader.
