OKLAHOMA CITY ?- Allyson Von Liechtenstein's squib single to left field scored pinch runner Adrienne Acton in the bottom of the 12th inning to give Arizona a dramatic 3-2 win over second-seeded California in an elimination game at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium on Saturday.
The rally started when California pitcher Kelly Anderson walked Callista Balko, whom Acton ran for, and Crystal Farley. Von Liechtenstein, who started for the first time since May 22 against Oklahoma State, was the only Wildcat with a multi-hit game in the 12-inning affair.
UA pitcher Alicia Hollowell (31-8) went the distance, giving up one earned run on eight hits, while not allowing a walk in the game. Anderson (29-10) started the game for Cal, before being relieved in the second inning.
The extra-inning victory was Arizona's first plus-seven inning game in postseason play since 2003, when the Wildcats lost to California in 12 innings. The victory also snaps a three-game postseason losing streak to the Golden Bears.
In the bottom half of the second inning, Arizona's bats exploded for two home runs, breaking a streak of 10 scoreless innings for the Wildcats. Jackie Coburn led off the frame with a blast to right-center field, her 10th of the year. With the bomb, Coburn became the first Wildcat with double-digit homers this season. Two batters later, Callista Balko sent a ball over the outfield fencing for the fifth time this season. Balko's home run knocked out Cal starter Kelly Anderson, bringing in Kristina Thorson.
The ball gets away from California catcher Haley Woods as Acton scores the winning run.

Thorson silenced the Arizona bats, hurling eight and a third scoreless innings.
California did not go down quietly, rallying in the top of the fifth inning for two runs. For the third inning of the last four, the Golden Bears led off the inning with a runner on base.
Chelsea Spencer started the offensive attack with a single up the middle, before being sacrificed over by Emily Friedman. Following Hollowell's 23rd wild pitch on the year, Julie Meyer came through with Spencer on second with an RBI single to center field. The base knock consequently snapped Arizona's 45 inning streak without surrendering an earned run. Cal Head Coach Diane Ninemire then pinch ran Erika Racklin for Meyer. Following an Alex Sutton strikeout, Kaleo Eldredge grounded a ball back to the circle, where Hollowell mishandled the grounder, before throwing the ball to the backstop. The defensive miscues allowed Racklin to score the game's tying run.
Arizona nearly ended the game in the 11th inning, when Kristie Fox led off the inning with a double to the center field wall. Ninemire pulled Thorson, bringing back Anderson to put out the fire. After walking Coburn, Anderson struck out Shelly Schultz and induced Jennifer Martinez into a 5-3 groundout double play.
Arizona threatened in the top of the eighth, when Allyson Von Liechtenstein singled through the left side to start up the inning. Unfortunately for the Cats the top of the order made three consecutive outs, sending the game deeper into extras.
Arizona next plays Texas. Game time is 6 p.m. (CDT) or 22 minutes following the completion of the Alabama-DePaul game, which started at approximately 3:15 CDT. The game will be carried on ESPN and ESPN HD.
Game Notes
- Arizona has three multi-home run games in the postseason. In 49 regular season contests, the Wildcats had two or more home runs three games.
- Eight of Arizona's 33 home runs (24 percent) have come in seven postseason games (13 percent of total games).
- UA pitcher Alicia Hollowell has lost just one game when the Wildcats score two or more runs. Five of her eight losses have come when UA is held scoreless.
- Of Callista Balko's 23 RBI, 18 have come with two outs.
- Balko's two-game hitting streak is the longest of any Wildcat.
- Arizona is 6-0 when hitting two or more home runs this year.
- The Wildcats improved to 38-0 when leading after four innings.
- Arizona gave up its first earned run of the postseason (seven games)
- With the win, Arizona is now 4-1 in extra-inning games this year.
- Crystal Farley's steal of second base marked the second game in the last 14 contests that Arizona has swiped a bag.

Political Wisdom: Watching the Center
The tea party movement has been a potent force in the Republican Party this primary season while progressives and unions are vying for the hearts of Democrats, taking aim at politicians with more moderate voting records. How will it turn out?
Writing in Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Albert R. Hunt notes politician's continual tug between firing up the base and courting centrists and turns his attention to the GOP. "Both matter, and in a year in which Republicans are poised to make big gains in congressional elections, this continues to roil the party; how it plays out may affect the shape of the November elections and the agenda, even the presidential nomination contest in ensuing years." Hunt suggests what to watch for as the election season heats up.
One is, will Tea Party conservatives modify or run away from some of their most controversial, if principled, positions?
In Nevada, Sharron Angle, who upset the party favorite to take on the vulnerable Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, has declared the Department of Education unconstitutional, wants the U.S. to withdraw from the United Nations and to privatize Social Security.
In Kentucky, the Tea Party endorsed Rand Paul (son of the conservative libertarian presidential aspirant Ron Paul), who has suggested the Americans with Disabilities Act was unnecessary and wants to disband the Federal Reserve. Colorado Senate candidate Ken Buck, who may well upset the establishment candidate in the Aug. 10 Republican primary, wants to end federal support for the Postal Service and the Amtrak rail service.
Toning Down
Paul has backed away from the reservations he has expressed about the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act — which made it illegal for businesses to discriminate against customers based on race — and Angle has retreated from her suggestion that she'd like to outlaw alcohol, undoubtedly a troubling position in Las Vegas. Democrats will hammer at other issues and test the ideological purity of these office seekers.
Carl M. Cannon at Politics Daily says this has been "an eventful, and sometimes perilous year" for some politicians as outside forces pull away from the center.
Nevada Republicans, in one of the most curious primary results of 2010, voted in inverse order for the three candidates with the strongest chance of defeating Harry Reid in November. The seemingly strongest candidate, Danny Tarkanian, ran third. Second was Sue Lowden, an attractive and known quantity in the state's GOP establishment. She ran second. The nomination went to Sharron Angle, a result which just may have offered Harry Reid a reprieve.
Similar disturbances in The Force have erupted all over the electoral map this year – in both political parties. Utah's Robert Bennett was a dependable conservative vote in the Senate, and yet managed to come in third at a Republican Party convention taken over by Tea Partiers. In Arkansas, Sen. Blanche Lincoln bested Bill Halter in last Tuesday's run-off, but a question remains how much Halter and his labor backers took out of Lincoln as she prepares to face well-rested and well-financed Republican John Boozman in November.
The commentariat has been full of observations about what this all means, analysis that has tended to illustrate the problem, not a solution: some liberals have been quick to label Republican base voters as intolerant, perhaps because it was easier than facing up to the powerful potion of purity being brewed up by their own party's ideologues. But it's fair to ask: What is going on this year?
Alexis Simendinger at the National Journal focuses on divisions among Democrats and how that is playing out on Capitol Hill.
On Capitol Hill, however, it will be the divisions among Democrats that will have the more significant impact on legislation between now and November. Potential trouble spots were easy to detect as Congress got back to work this week.
The White House's wishes may be taken under advisement but they no longer rule the day. Sources suggested that President Obama and his team have grudgingly accepted that some Democratic lawmakers are eager to step out of formation on appropriations, financial regulation, clean-air regulation, and other issues. As a result, several Democratic congressional sources said with delight, the administration is more carefully tracking the pulse on the Hill to maintain a united front, particularly in reaction to the BP oil disaster.
With unemployment stuck near 10 percent and the largest man-made environmental disaster gushing from the Gulf of Mexico's seabed, the majority party returned to the Capitol thinking anew about legislation that may help or hurt its members' re-election chances. With Obama's job-approval numbers hovering below 50 percent under the weight of relentlessly bad news and unforced errors, some House and Senate Democrats see the president as a weakened influence on the political stage.
And at the Daily Beast, John Avlon says both parties are attacking those at the center.
We're all familiar with the factional fights among Republicans, the party purges, and rabid RINO (a.k.a. Republican in Name Only) hunting. What's gotten far less attention is the still emerging ideological blood-sport of DINO hunting—but it's a fever that's catching among the activist class.
After all, Lincoln wasn't the only Dem in a tough fight with the left this week. Hawkish California Congresswoman Jane Harman was under fire from progressive candidate Mary Winograd in her primary, arguing along the same lines that dispatched Joe Lieberman in 2006. Even Nancy Pelosi found herself heckled by "progressive" protesters at America's Future Now!, for being insufficiently liberal when it came to health care—a concept that would make many a conservative's head spin.
The attacks serve as a reminder of the through-the-looking glass political era we're living in, in which conservatives are convinced that President Obama is a socialist, while liberals call him a corporate sellout. The right trades anecdotes about Obama's intentional undermining of the War on Terror, while the left accuses him of callously continuing the Bush administration's War on Terror policies. These narratives are logically incompatible, and yet they're simultaneously dominating the national debate. All the while, incumbent Democrats decline in the polls.

President Barack Obama endorsed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for President of the United States in this video on June 9, 2016.
Gov. Rauner has vetoed Senate Bill 2046, legislation to fund the back pay owed to thousands of state employees, as well as critical social services, public health and higher education.
One of the brightest new country stars in Nashville, Margo Price comes from an AFSCME family in Illinois.
When the governor sharply rejected seven Republican legislators' call to return to the bargaining table, these same legislators refused to support their constituents.
Retirees elected John Tilden as their Annuitant Representative on the State Employees' Retirement System Board of Trustees.
When the special friendship between a three-year-old girl and an AFSCME Local 699 sanitation worker in Bloomington, Ill., went viral, the world got a lesson in kindness.
The House fell short of the margin needed to enact the fair arbitration bill over the governor's veto. See inside for AFSCME's statement in response.
Working families and community groups call on the Governor and his legislative enablers to drop their harmful demands and make Illinois a place that works for all.
Days before Gov. Rauner vetoed HB 580, legislation to provide a fair path to a state contract, his loyal minions at the Illinois Policy Institute rushed out a "report" that recycles long-discredited claims regarding state workers' compensation.
After walking away from negotiations, the governor seeks to impose his demands on state public service workers by blocking House Bill 580, legislation that provides a responsible path to a fair contract for all state employees.
AFSCME is working to reverse the Rauner Administration's plan to close Illinois Youth Center at Kewanee, which houses uniquely vulnerable youth. The union's efforts got a big boost when the commission voted to reject the closure on May 3.
Due to a $2.1 million shortfall caused by the state budget crisis, the Will County Health Department announced a layoff of more than 50 employees, affecting a wide range of vital services on which citizens depend.
Read Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois President Pat Devaney's response to the Chicago Tribune's anti-union editorial in an unpublished letter to the publication's editor.
The Illinois Labor Relations Board hearing on whether or not contract negotiations between 38,000 AFSCME-represented state employees and the Rauner Administration are truly at impasse began on Monday, April 25 in Springfield.
AFSCME Council 31 is proud to partner with Illinois Working Together, a diverse coalition of labor organizations committed to fighting back against Bruce Rauner's attacks on working families and to protecting the vital services all Illinoisans rely on.
AFSCME members from across the state joined a massive rally in Springfield on April 20. Participants rallied and marched to urge legislators and the governor to find a funding solution for Illinois colleges and universities.
The Illinois Supreme Court reversed lower court decisions regarding state employees' back wages, ruling that back pay is not owed without a legislative appropriation. AFSCME is now focused on securing the monies owed in the General Assembly.
The Illinois Monetary Award Program provides 125,000 students with the opportunity to go to college. Gov. Rauner vetoed the MAP bill, once again jeopardizing many students' college careers. Legislators will vote soon on whether to override that veto.
A bipartisan legislative commission will hold a public hearing on the proposed closure at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 30 in the Kewanee High School Gym. Union members and community supporters will be there to speak out against the closure.
"This ruling strengthens the promise of dignity in retirement for those who serve our communities, and reinforces the Illinois Constitution, our state's highest law," said AFSCME and other unions that brought the challenge.

The good thing about my school is that it's educational level is better than that of a public school, and it gives me the chance to take many international exams.
How long do you have to keep studying there until you can move elsewhere? That reminds me, I have no idea how old you are.
The problem here is that public schools are in even worse conditions, and their education is eclipsed by the strikes the teachers cause (they are paid far too little; and it's an important job; I knew a public school teacher who had to work as a cab driver and a nurse as well, just to mantain his family) and the amazingly great scholar program which leaves a lot to wish for (history for instance, is one subject which is thought the wrong way); etc.
That poor teacher. My Brazilian friend told me that public schools have such problems in that part of the world, but I never suspected it could be that bad for the teachers.
Out of interest, how is history taught wrong?
School is a thing, which to the surprise of some, I loathe. It will sound arrogant, but the things that I have learnt alone are those that still tick with me (not that I haven't learnt anything at that place; but what I mostly get is nervous problems); I do hesitantly recognize its importance.
I don't think it's arrogant. I'm sure that most people would hate school if they had to study in similar conditions to yours. And studying in an institution just isn't meant for all people, regardless of the conditions or their intellectual level. In some way you remind me of Mika Waltari, a Finnish author who loathed the idea of finishing his education because he felt it took time from what he really loved; writing.
But it has more to do with the fact that I can do the same as a 'forensic scientist' but without a boss (and working mostly by myself; paradise indeed).
Are there a lot of private investigators over there? Is it a profitable profession? What kind of jobs do you expect to get? As you can guess, this is a profession I only know from movies and don't know a thing about its realitites.
What about you? Do you have any idea of what you will do?
Heh, I'm going to become a teacher and teach kids how to speak English and German. It's not really what I want to do, but I want to work with languages, it's a relatively respected and well paid profession with weekends, Christmas, summer, Easter etc. always off duty so, it's worth it.
Uhuh, and the funniest thing is that some sources show that countries which have separated the Church from the State (and have a big percentage of non-believers) are doing better on every sense (except on suicide rates).
True. We're somewhere on the top of the suicide list. I think it's because people have forgotten the meaning of really caring about each other. Our society sets firm rules; you have to be young, beautiful and successful if you want to be worth anything. If you fail to accomplish that you've failed in life.
I'm planning to go to Europe in the near future (in about 1-2 years), and that is one of the places I'm looking forward to visiting.
Give a shout if you do. I'll give you a tour in
The Spy Museum
(stole your colour idea
Since I haven't read the book I can't really say anything on the matter, but when I first heard the rumour: 'you-know-who killed you-know-who' - it was somewhat a strong blow. Because I trust Severus Snape. Still, or at least until the seventh book proves me wrong.
Oh, I trust him too. There is a scene in the book that must be mean that everything is not what it seems.
What, Lenin Museum in Finland?
Yeah, it's in Tampere. Never been there though, sadly.
And you say your first language is Russian? You've got such a beautiful alphabet, you know. I studied one course of it at school, but quit because it was interactive studying and I hate that.
And your English is very good, so you could very well call it your second language.

EMAIL or EFAIL: How Big Is Your Inbox?
By Joesciallo-Oracle on Jul 31, 2008
Emailus Interruptus:
According to a report to be published in October by the New York-based research firm Basex, interruptions such as spam, other unnecessary e-mail and instant-messages take up 28% of the average knowledge worker's day.
On top of that is what Basex chief analyst Jonathan Spira refers to as recovery time -- the time to get back to where you were before you were interrupted, which Spira says is 10 to 20 times the duration of the interruption. These interruptions account for up to 2.1 hours per worker per day. Multiply that by 56 million knowledge workers in the U.S., he calculates, and the cost is $650 billion per year.

What are Your Secrets?
By blueprints on Jan 28, 2011
We've been on something of a security kick recently. The steady stream of news on information links and compromised systems keeps it a fresh and lively topic! A comprehensive security framework incorporates many components, from simple physical security to protecting the bits themselves. At the center of this latter topic is cryptography.
Protecting information with codes is probably as old as spoken language itself. Codes are ultimately crackable, but we have made it more and more difficult to do so: this is something computers are are very good at. Oracle Solaris has had a cryptographic framework for a long time. We have offered cryptographic accelerators as add-on products, but more recently we have been building encryption into the chips themselves. The idea is to make it so fast and cost so little, why wouldn't you encrypt?
Of course, applications have to know how to use it (that's where the cryptographic framework comes in) and systems have to be configured to integrate it into the solution. Ramesh Nagappan has written a great paper, High Performance Security for Oracle WebLogic Applications Using Oracle SPARC Enterprise T-Series Servers, that provides a very thorough examination of all the pieces, from an overview of the Cryptographic Framework, through a discussion of the on-chip acceleration, to configuration, and ending with actual performance metrics.
If encryption is as fast and inexpensive as this, why wouldn't you – always?

Flash Review, 11-15: Maybe.... And maybe not
Maguy Marin: Still Alone Together After 25 Years
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2006 The Dance Insider
PARIS -- I'll pick up on my DI colleague Aimee Ts'ao's theme in her recent column, by starting with the context in which I viewed the reprisal of "May B," not just the signature work of one choreographer, Maguy Marin, but, we're told in the program distributed last night at the Theatre de la Ville - Sarah Bernhardt, the herald of a new generation of French choreography that followed its 1981 creation. The reaction set in about 2000, coincidentally when I parachuted in, only to find Marin's children had confused the miniscule prized by the master with the small, which is not always beautiful. That's context number one. Number 2 is that three years after I first saw Marin's company in New York in 1995, performing this work and "Waterzooie," in which the dancers played toy instruments, when anyone asked me what had impressed me most in New York, Maguy Marin's was the only name that came automatically to mind. Context number 3, superficially the least important but, unfortunately, the determinative one for my re-experience of "May B" last night, is that, among all the problems wrought by our Socialist ayatollah of a mayor over the last five years which have made living in Paris untenable, elevated pollution tops the list. We can't breathe. Thus taking refuge from the car exhaust in the theater last night only to find whatever white substance covered the performers and the stage wafting out into the audience and into my lungs was frustrating. Had this been anyone else's show, I woulda walked -- not to make a statement, but because I was uncomfortable. As it was Marin I stayed, but for the second third of the show my only goal was to make it to the finish, and it was only the haunting strength of the penultimate section that distracted me from this end. So let's concentrate on that, because sometimes a work delivers its most memorable wallop in one tableau or episode -- and when the artist is Maguy Marin, it just might be the wallop of an epoch.
The Maguy Marin company in Maguy Marin's 1981 "May B." Claude Bricage photo copyright Claude Bricage and courtesy Theatre de la Ville.
This one started with the ten personages re-entering with their existing or even added limitations. In addition to the hunchbacked girl (who had to hold one shoulder higher than the other for 90 minutes) and the fat-suited lady (see Aimee's of today for more on Maguy and the Fat Suits), there was now the blind man with a cane who the fat-suited lady huddled with, holding onto an arm and murmuring into his ear; a man in a wheelchair, blanket covering his lower body, whose Lennon-like shades indicated he might also be blind, and the friend attending him; and a master and servant, a relationship established by a tether and a noose. Three woman who all looked and comported themselves like (harmless) insane asylum inmates, one the hunchbacked dame, sat huddled downstage right rapidly conversing. I should add that throughout the piece, most of the five men wore simple nose extensions.
Suddenly a bright woman with a shower cap skittered onstage -- almost as if on skates -- holding a lit birthday cake. All ten assembled around the man in the wheelchair, and mouthed "Happy Birthday." Candles blown out, they dispersed to their corners, then started returning to the cake lady stage center to take a chunk, or even two, of the cake. The master gave the slave enough of a lead so that he could grab a huge chunk, only to reign him in and grab the whole thing as he was about to bite into it, the slave quickly becoming dejected and reduced to licking his now empty fingers. The blind man and the fat-suit woman stood upstage center stoically, not visibly bothered that they'd been left out. The one woman of the trio who'd managed to scavenge just the empty serving plate recoiled, hurt, after her comrade who'd taken two slices rebuffed her efforts to cajole some, stuffing the cake down her smock. As the cake dwindled, the chasm spread, enveloping not just the have-nots but the took-too-muches in the existential void. C'est fini? Maybe.
Maguy Marin's "May B," which has been performed some 600 times around the world since its 1981 creation, continues its current (and sold-out) Paris run, part of the centennial celebration of Samuel Beckett, Marin's inspiration, through Saturday at the Theatre de la Ville - Sarah Bernhardt. On Tuesday, it was performed by the Maguy Marin company: Ulises Alvarez, Yoann Bourgeois, Teresa Cunha, Jordi Gali, Matthieu Perpoint, Cathy Polo, Jeanne Vallauri, Vania Vaneau, Vincent Weber, and Yasmine Youcef.

"Policies that support families aren't political issues. They're personal. They're the causes I carry with me every single day."
Chicago, Illinois 17 January, 1964
*Michelle Obama is the third First Lady born in Chicago, Illinois, after Betty Ford (1918) and Hillary Clinton (1947).
Although Nancy Reagan identifies herself as a Chicagoan she was born in Flushing, Queens, New York and spent her childhood in Bethesda, Maryland. Nancy Reagan did spend her adolescent and teenage years in Chicago where she was adopted by her stepfather to whom her mother had remarried.
Mary Lincoln also identified herself as a Chicagoan in the first years of her widowhood, having assumed residency in Chicago, first in rented quarters and then in purchasing a home there. She was born in Kentucky and spent her young adult years in Springfield, Illinois.
Fraser Robinson III, born 1 August 1935, Chicago, Illinois; City of Chicago Waterworks, pump worker and Democratic Party precinct captain (volunteer); died 6 March 1991
Marian Shields Robinson, born July 1937, Chicago, Illinois; married to Fraser Robinson, 1960 in Chicago; a stay-at-home mother while her children were young, Mrs. Robinson later worked as secretary in the offices of Spiegel Catalogue until the 2008 presidential election
*Marian Robinson is only the third First Lady's mother to take up official residence in the White House, following Madge Wallace and Minnie Doud, the mothers of Bess Truman and Mamie Eisenhower, respectively. However, Juliana Gardiner and Emma Folsom, the mothers of Julia Tyler and Frances Cleveland, respectively, also made lengthy stays which might be considered residency.
African. Although Michelle Obama's genealogy has not yet been extensively researched, it is known that at least one of her paternal great-great-grandfathers, James Robinson had been enslaved in Georgetown, South Carolina. In one speech while President Obama was campaigning, he indicated that there is also descent in his wife's family from a European-American ancestor.

Advice on type families and non-injectivity?
Here's a simple example:
> {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
> type family F a
> foo :: F a
> foo = undefined
> bar :: F a
> bar = foo
The error message:
Couldn't match type `F a' with `F a1'
NB: `F' is a type function, and may not be injective
In the expression: foo
In an equation for `bar': bar = foo
A terser (but perhaps subtler) example producing the same error:
> baz :: F a
> baz = baz
Replacing `a` with a monotype (e.g., `Bool`) eliminates the error.
Does the difficulty here have to do with trying to *infer* the type and then compare with the given one? Or is there an issue even with type *checking* in such cases?
Other insights welcome, as well as suggested work-arounds.
I know about (injective) data families but don't want to lose the convenience of type synonym families.
Thanks, -- Conal

Arson Awareness Week Offers Tips to Stay Safe
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on May 05, 2013 @ 9:44PM
Created on May 05, 2013 @ 7:45PM
There are more than 16,000 fires set intentionally each year, so it's important you know how to keep yourself protected.
Today marks the beginning of arson awareness week across the country. The goal this year is to look at ways to reduce the amount of arson in residential homes. According to the National Fire Protection Association, arsons cause around 300 deaths annually.
"In West Virginia, penalties are anywhere from a fine, but if there is a casualty involved, the person could face prison time," says Michael Garrett, Nutter Fort Fire Department
Here are a few ways you can protect your home and your family..
Take simple steps like keeping the outside of your home well lit. Clear brush or blocks from your home, and most importantly, install smoke alarms. The state fire marshal's office also urges everyone to have some type of protection plan that include smoke alarms, a sprinkler system, and a home fire escape plan.
