Summarising the entire experience, YT makes pretty darn good classic dim sum dishes like the char siew sou, har gau, rice rolls and char siew baos. They also dish up several novel and interesting dishes like their salted egg yolk prawns (which are served atop a bed of egg whites in a filo pastry cup) and the sesame ball with malt balls chocolate.
However their prices tend to be a little steep for several dishes like their custard buns, xiao long bao and steamed cake with egg custard. The quality of these items did not justidy the hefty price tag. They also have a pretty limited range of steamed dim sums.
On the overall there were more hits than misses, so it's definitely worth a visit. Do concentrate on the basics though cause the others might prove to be a disappointment.

For a restaurant located in a 6-star hotel, the private rooms were very poorly designed when ignoring the fancy decor outside. For a dinner serving 10 people, two of my guests had to serve themselves throughout the entire 8-course dinner as the wait staff could not reach across the space. The table was so tightly fit into the room which made movement difficult for both diners and the staff throughtout the meal.
Food-wise, the meal was decent, and I believe it would have been better if we tried out more of their popular dishes which were not in the set menu reccomended. For diners keen to try out the food, don't try their Chinese New Year menu, as the prices are pretty steep while the dishes served were definitely not up to the hype nor the price.
My biggest kudos goes to the servers who were really friendly and tried their best to work with the space. On the overall, the CNY menu was overrated and I suggest that diners don't book a private room (for those with mobility issues, call in advance, as the general dining area appears tightly packed as well.)

I was really excited to try some of the highlights from the revamped à la carte menu on my latest visit, featuring Yan Ting's Executive Chef Tony Wun's signature creations. For a start, I had the Trio of Appetisers, featuring the Deep-fried Whitebait Fish with salt and pepper, Homemade Marinated Radish and Pan-fried Scallop in Teriyaki Sauce. My favourite of the lot is the fresh scallops drenched in teriyaki sauce as it offered the most flavour for me amongst the trio. A promising start to the meal indeed.
Yan Ting Restaurant serves Chinese fine dining cuisine strongly inspired by the authentic Ming Dynasty, when authentic Chinese culinary art flourished. They have an exquisite menu specially designed and crafted by their new Executive Chinese Chef, Tony Wun. It was Easter Sunday but the restaurant was packed with diners.
The interior decor was all gilt and mirrors, with some frosted glass panels and fine paintings adorning the walls. There was nothing short of a touch of class and sophistication with the drapes and muted but tasteful tones of the restaurant.
We came for their Dimsum, so our first item was their Crispy BBQ Pork Buns (SGD$6.00 for 3) - there were 5 of us and we ordered 3 to start. We liked it enough to order another set of these crispy pork buns with crusty skin that melted in the mouth; the honeyed BBQ pork were tender and sweet, filling up these crusty shells deliciously.
Moving on, we had Meat Dumplings with Abalone (SGD$9.00 for 3), or better known as "Siew Mai". The abalone was steamed soft and tender, very easy to bite - even the mom approves. The shrimp within the dumpling was very fresh and bouncy, however I did not like the meat. Instead of the usual minced meat, the meat in the siew mai here seemed to be in pieces, and were hard, with a distinctive porky taste that was not pleasant in my opinion.
The next item another remarkable favorite of mine - the Goose Liver Spring Rolls (SGD$14.00 for 3) - crackling on the exterior and scrumptious on the inside. If you love foie gras, this is just the thing for you - goose liver amongst slivers of vegetables, perfectly paired in texture and flavours.
Finally, the one item we managed to squeeze space in our abdomens for - Red Bean Cakes (SGD$8.00 for 3), or known as "3-layers cakes" as recommended by the service crew. The first layer is Osmanthus, then Coconut in the middle, sitting atop Red Bean which is the bottommost layer - the cooling and refreshing dessert was utterly endearing. They were not too sweet, adding just the right touch of soothe to the palate after an engaging savoury meal (yes, the dimsum managed to engage the senses overall).
For full review and more detailed information, please feel free to visit:
Yan Ting 宴庭 has always been lauded as the best Dim Sum or Cantonese restaurant in many social media platforms. And I have to admit of feeling slightly ashamed that I was once sceptical of this restaurant [as it may be just another super-expensive-but-fall-short-of-expectations restaurant (Eg, Jiang Nan Chun, Man Fu Yuan)] until recently when I decided to give it a shot for the feast on 大年初三 (the third day of CNY) with the family. Having huge appetites, we got the buffet brunch for $108++ that serves a huge inexhaustible menu with Chinese tea. Priced at such a premium value, lets scrutinise!

This place is strictly for special ocassions. Ambiance is top class here with good service. Food i.e. dim sum, however is not up to par with the ambiance. Wouldn't rate it anywhere close to being the best dim sum; in fact, some dishes comes across as blend. You are literally paying for the ambiance and service.

Diamond, a German shepherd mix, found herself locked behind bars at an animal control in Many, La., after her owner surrendered her when he moved away.
Today, the one-year-old dog, who has been locked up for nearly a month, is in dire need of help.
Diamond is not spayed and is heart worm positive, but she is a smart, attentive dog who deserves to be saved and treated.
The following information was shared about this young dog:
Diamond was brought in by her owner. He was moving and could not take her. He was so upset and broke down and was crying. She is a beautiful German Shepherd mix. She is a year old,weighs 39 lbs, chipped, all shots and we can have her spayed.
She is Heartworm positive. (Can be treated with slow kill method.) We can spay her. She was an only dog and does not like other dogs. She would need to be the only dog. She is very smart and learns very quickly!!
She misses her owner and has been at shelter nearly a month. She is so tired of kennel life.This has been difficult on her. Her coat will shine when someone has time to bathe and brush her. She is very loving towards people and adores attention.
Though many people on Diamond's Facebook thread have expressed an interest, nobody has followed through and there are hints to indicate that Diamond's days are number.
Please take a moment to network this gorgeous pup's information, before she is lost forever.

This exhibition presented works of Dali never before displayed by the Dali Museum. The title, Dali's Grotesque Carnival, refers to visual distortion and exaggeration, as revealed through the artist's interest in the themes of festival and celebration. It featured four suites of Dali's ambitious engagement with printmaking.
Works on paper are rarely exhibited because of their fragility and sensitivity to light. The Dali Museum houses a substantial collection of approximately 80% of the artist's output in printmaking and book production, and this exhibition is a rare opportunity to share a significant aspect of the museum's collection.
Dali's Grotesque Carnival includes the following two literary suites: The Humorous Daydreams of Pantagruel (1973), based on the work by French writer François Rabelais (c. 1494 – 1553), and Dali Illustrates Casanova (1967), based on the writings of the Italian author and diplomat Giacomo Casanova (1725 – 1798).
Three additional portfolios of prints, Bullfight I (1966), Bullfight II (1968), and The Circus (1965), complement the grotesque and carnivalesque qualities of the Rabelais and Casanova suites; at the same time they are tinged with the tragedy of the combat between life and death.

Description: A pre and post void bladder ultrasound uses sound frequency in a range that is higher than humans are able to hear to produce images of the internal structures on a viewing screen. The pre and post void bladder exam is used to evaluate the full bladder prior to urination and to document whether the bladder empties completely upon urination.
Indication: The pre and post void bladder ultrasound is indicated if incomplete emptying of the bladder is suspected clinically. It may also be ordered to assess urine leakage or drip. The radiologist is able to evaluate the bladder lining, the bladder wall and the amount of urine retained after voiding.
Procedure: The patient lies on their back on an exam table and a small amount of gel is placed on the lower abdomen over the bladder. The gel helps the transducer form good contact with the skin. As it passes over the area of interest sound is passed from the transducer into the body and is reflected off the internal structures and returned to the transducer. The echoes are transformed electronically into images on a monitor that are recorded on film. The exam takes approximately 30 minutes.
Preparation: The patient must drink 24-32 oz of water or clear juice (no soda pop) 1 hour prior to the exam. THE PATIENT IS NOT TO VOID BEFORE THE EXAM.

Peoples Bank of Marietta, Ohio has reported that counterfeit cashier's checks issued in the bank's name and using a correct routing number of 044202505 are being presented for payment nationwide in connection with scams targeting law offices.
Counterfeit items closely resemble the bank's authentic cashier's checks but may be identified by the following: The checks do not include the bank's toll-free telephone number of (800) 374-6123; they do, however, include a security statement along the top border of the instrument as well as a heat sensor lock in the bottom-center portion of the check. Items presented to date have been made payable in varying amounts between $100,000 and $500,000. The items also include various remitter names but most commonly Abbott Laboratories, Inc.
Potential victims are initially being contacted by e-mail in a scam to open broker/dealer accounts. Upon the fraudster's refusal to sign an agreement with the law firm, the fraudster has demanded ransom from particular employees of these law offices informing the victim that his or her family member has been kidnapped. As far as all parties are aware, the kidnapping threat has been a scam as well.
For additional information and guidance and to verify the authenticity of Peoples Bank N.A.'s cashier's checks, please contact Susan Hornbeck, BSA Compliance, by mail at 138 Putnam St., Marietta, OH 45750; by telephone at (740) 374-6117; by fax at (740) 376-2064; or by e-mail at [email@example.com].

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You and the stranger both like Hetalia.
You: Ciao, hun~ *waves* {2P!Romano}
Stranger: Oh god, it's you again (2p!Spain)
You: Wah~ So mean~! *pouts cutely*
Stranger: *Scowls at him* Quit making that face, you look stupid.
You: *smiles sweetly* Okay~! Anything for you~! *hugs*
Stranger: *Makes a face* What are you doing? *Attempts to shove him off*
You: Hugging you silly~!! *keeps a firm grip*
Stranger: ....Why? No, actually I don't care, stop it.
You: Aw~ but why~! *whines*
Stranger: *Rolls his eyes* Because I fucking said so!
You: *pouts again and lets go and goes to sit down* I thought you loved me~!
Stranger: *Snorts and crosses his arms over his chest* I never agreed or admitted to anything like that.
You: Aw~ I hate you too~ *smiles sweetly*
Stranger: *Blushes faintly* I never said that either! Aghh...
You: *giggles cutely* So adorable~
Stranger: Shut the hell up....Why are you even here?
You: Cause I can be~ is that so wrong~?
Stranger: Yes, it is.
You: Oh~ you would say that but oh well i'm here anyway~! *smiles sweetly and sits comfortably against the couch*
Stranger: *Grumbles* That means there's no getting rid of you know doesn't it? *Sighs dramatically and sits on the couches opposite end*
You: Si~! *scoots closer and cuddles*
Stranger: *Glances down at him* You're doing that thing again.
You: *looks up innocently* What thing~?
Stranger: *Scowls at him* That thing where you're touching me.
You: Oh~ It seems I am~! I'm sorry I just can't help it, your just so tempting~! *cuddles closer*
Stranger: You know that was a hint for you to stop right?
You: Si I know~! *smiles*
Stranger: You're hopeless...
You: *giggles* I hate you too~ *gets up* If your not willing to cuddle maybe the other Spain is~ *claps hands together* Oh he is just the most adorable little thing~!
Stranger: ((Sorry, had to brb for a second))
*Glowers at him* Hmph. *Grabs him around the waist and pulls him back down* You'd better not be cuddling any other fucking Spains.
You: *Surprised then smiles* Jealous are we~? Why I've cuddled the other Spain lots of times~ He is so sweet~!
You: ((tis ok^^))
Stranger: No. *Tightens arms around him* Tch, fine then. I'll kill him.
You: Aw~ no~! *sniffs and pouts*
Stranger: Don't make that face at me. *Huffs* It's his own damn fault. Puta.

Stranger: *Snorts* You're a grown man, you've heard bad words before.
You: Please don't kill Spain~! I'll do anything if it means stopping you from killing him~!
Stranger: Nope. It's already been decided. You aren't helping his case by trying to convince me not to.
You: *pouts* No fair~!!
Stranger: He touched something that's mine. I can't let him get away with it, otherwise everyone will start to do it.
You: Oh so i'm yours now~? I don't ever recall you doing so much as owning me~
Stranger: Not my fault you're too stupid to figure things out.
You: And its not my fault that you never physically owned me~!
Stranger: Prissy as you are? I try not to play rough with toys that break easily.
You: *Turns around to face him* I don /not/ break easily~! *huffs cutely*

You: *kisses back smiling in his mind*

You: Oh i'd be willing for you to do so~ *parts his lips gasping*

You: *tongue comes out to play eagerly*
Stranger: *Rubs against the tongue teasingly*
You: *tongue pokes his playfully*
Stranger: *Tongue pushes back against his, less than playfully*
You: *smirks into the kiss and bites his tongue*
Stranger: *Gasps, nipping at his lip and pulling him into his lap*
You: *keeps hold of his tongue*
Stranger: *Slides hands under his shirt and pinches his side*
You: *squeaks and lets go of his tongue*
Stranger: *Chuckles and pulls away, sliding hands further up and pinching him again*
You: *makes soft noises in between the squeaks*
Stranger: *Latches on to one of his earlobes with his teeth* Is this what you're talking about when you're going on incessantly about things being adorable?
You: D-depends on what you mean *blushes lightly*
Stranger: *Smirks and bites down, twisting on of his nipples*
You: *moans loudly* Ahh~
Stranger: Heh. *Twists harder, biting his way down his neck*
You: *Arches into his touch as he continues moaning*
Stranger: You really are too easy. *Rips his shirt open, continuing down his chest*
You: *gasps and pouts panting and moaning a little* th-that was e-expensive~!
Stranger: *Pushes him back onto the couch, replacing his fingers with his teeth* Should have thought about that before then, shouldn't you?
You: *throws his head back and moans*
Stranger: Enjoying yourself? *Suck gently for a moment before biting down harshly* God, you really are a whore....
You: Nn~! O-only your whore~ *pants more as he moans*
Stranger: You'd better be. *Presses a kiss to his abdomen, cupping the front of his pants and squeezing*
You: Nn~!! *blushes and bucks into his hand*
Stranger: Tch, even when you're not talking you're still noisy and desperate. *Rolls his eyes*
You: *Pouts cutely* So mean~!!
Stranger: You knew what you were signing up for. *Huffs* The pants, I want them off.
You: *Takes them off so he doesn't ruin another piece of clothing*
Stranger: So compliant. Good boy~ *Presses a kiss to the inside of his thigh*
You: *blushes and watches him*
Stranger: *Smirks down at him, biting and kissing his way down to the back of his knee*
You: *shivers a bit and moans softly*
Stranger: *Gives his other leg the same treatment before moving up and nuzzling the front of his underwear*
You: *gasps and blushes*
Stranger: *Grins at him, pulling the article of clothing down* If this was all I had to do to stop you running your mouth I would have done it years ago.
You: *blushes and looks away*
Stranger: Didn't think you'd be so easily embarrassed slut. *Kisses the side of his cock*
You: Nn~... *makes soft noises*
Stranger: *Rubs his cheek against it, kissing the head*
You: *makes a soft moan* st-stop teasing...
Stranger: *Bites down lightly at it's base* Why should I?
You: p-please? *twitches a little*
Stranger: But you seem so /excited/. Why should I ruin your fun?~ *Wraps his hand around it, squeezing gently*
You: *moans softly* Ahhn~
Stranger: *Strokes up and down for a few moments before pulling away*
You: *makes a small whine*
Stranger: Something wrong?~
You: Y-you stopped~! *whines a bit*
Stranger: *Raises an eyebrow* It's not a problem is it?~ *Smirks* I'm sure I've got better things to be doing than whores right now...
You: *pouts* P-please don't leave me like this?
Stranger: *Tries to keep from chuckling out loud* What reason do I have not to, hmmm?~
You: I-i'll leave you alone for the week? Month? Longer?
Stranger: Hmmmm~ I suppose I'll accept that.
You: *Eyes light up happily*
Stranger: *Reaches for him again, flicking a thumb over his tip. Holds fingers of his free hand up to his face* Suck
You: *takes them and licks the tips of the fingers then takes then in coating them the best he can while nipping at sensitive areas along his fingers*
Stranger: *Watches him intently, a soft moan escaping* Alright, that's enough! *Pulls them away quickly*
You: *looks up at him sweetly*
Stranger: *Scowls, grabbing his hips and flipping him over* I /hate/ you.
You: I hate you too~ *smiles*
Stranger: That's not a good thing! *Grumbles, pulling his backside up some and pressing a finger to his entrance*
You: *blushes and moans softly* Ahh~
Stranger: Why did I know that would shut you up? *Pushes it all the way in, a second quickly joining it*
You: *makes soft moans of pleasure and rolls his hips against his fingers*
Stranger: Eager little thing aren't you. *Smacks his ass, continuing to finger him*
You: *moans a little louder and continues*
Stranger: *Huffs, adding a third finger*
You: *pants lightly*
Stranger: *Removes the fingers after a moment*
You: *whines softly at the loss*
Stranger: *Laughs, reaching down and slowly undoing his belt and pants*
You: *turns his head to look at him*
Stranger: *Calmly pushes down his pants and then his underwear*
You: *blushes and looks away*
Stranger: *Digs fingers into his hips, pulling him back and burying himself inside of him*
You: *moans loudly being filled with his member*
Stranger: Dios you're a tight little whore. *Groans, pulling out and slamming back into him*
You: *moans and clings to the couch*
Stranger: *Digs fingers into his skin, thrusting into him roughly*
You: *bucks to meet his thrusts and moans loudly*

You: N-no...! *moans as he's bitten*

Stranger: *Pants, pulling out of him and pushing him away*
You: *sits up and gathers his clothes gets dressed so he can leave*
Stranger: *Grabs him and pulls him into a kiss* You said you'd leave me alone for a week, si? I expect you to be back at the end of it.
You: *nods obediently* Si~

It's Easter Sunday and Gordie Howe's 85th birthday and the Red Wings host the Chicago Blackhawks in an afternoon matchup.
In honor of Mr. Hockey's birthday, all Detroit players will take the pre-game skate in #9 Howe jerseys, with a commemorative patch above the tip of the winged wheel crest and the player's actual number on the opposite side (which will make for a crowded space if the C and A are kept for Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Kronwall).
The Wings may have Mikael Samuelsson back in the lineup. In that case, Gustav Nyquist will likely be out and reassigned to Grand Rapids as Detroit would need to open up a roster spot for Samuelsson. Even with that move, there are 13 forwards in the lineup so a to-be-determined healthy scratch is expected.
On defense, the lineup is known. With Kent Huskins off to Philadelphia and Carlo Colaiacovo with the Griffins on a rehab stint, newcomer Danny DeKeyser is the lone scratch. DeKeyser is expected to make his pro debut on Thursday on the road against the Phoenix Coyotes.
Jimmy Howard gets the start in goal for Detroit.
Stupid stat time: Detroit is 12-14-5 all-time on Howe's birthday.
Bonus stupid stat: Detroit is 13-14-4 all-time on Easter Sunday.
Game time is 12:30 PM on NBC, which means Eddie Olczyk will be covering his home team against their bitter rivals for a national audience.
Samuelsson is, indeed, off IR and expected to play today. I'd done bad math, though, because with Colaiacovo in GR and Huskins gone, the Wings do have a roster spot for Samuelsson without making another move.
Okay, in addition to confirming that Franzen and Samuelsson are both in, Ken Holland has said that DeKeyser isn't officially on the roster until 5:00 PM today, at which point someone will need to be sent down. Apparently Colaiacovo does count even though he's in GR. TPL had thought there was some kind of exemption for him.
I don't mind losing, but you always hope your team will play well, with a little passion...maybe they're all catching the flu....

Evaluation of clustering of new intramammary infections in the bovine udder, including the impact of previous infections, herd prevalence, and somatic cell count on their development
Evidence in the literature exists to support the theory that mastitis and intramammary infection (IMI) tend to cluster within herds, within cows, and within quarters, facts which may have overarching ramifications on mastitis management in modern dairy herds. Most previous studies, however, have bee...

Alex at Happy, Healthy, & Domestic has a husband who loves American flags and anything patriotic. She decided to surprise him with some new flag decor by making use of an old pallet she had on hand.
She started this project by ripping apart the pallet. Once all the boards were off, Alex lined them up to make a rectangle shape. Once she had that done, Alex says, "I studied very carefully the dimensions and proportions of the United States flag on Wikipedia. With my measuring tape, yard stick, and a pencil I measured and marked out the sripes and canton – or union, the blue part." The last step was painting the flag in classic red, white, and blue. It looks amazing!
Find out how Alex got all 50 stars to look so good over at Happy, Healthy, & Domestic.

The generators of the Virasoro algebra (actually two copies thereof) appear as constraints in the classical theory of the Polyakov action (after gauge fixing). However, when quantizing only "half" of the constraints are imposed.
I understand it's inconsistent to apply all of the constraints. I also understand this choice has mathematical significance in the sense of picking out highest-weight vectors. Nevertheless, on the surface it seems somewhat arbitrary. What is the physical reason it is "ok" to ignore the other constraints while mandatory to impose these? Also, are there simpler (preferably finite dimensional phase space) examples of quantization where some of the constraints must be dropped?

College Hockey:Plattsburgh Tops Potsdam To Finalize Playoff Standings
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — North Country travel partners squared off in a game that would decide the final seedings for the play-in round of the SUNYAC playoffs.
Visiting Potsdam could finish anywhere from third to fifth, while Plattsburgh was guaranteed home ice this weekend — it was just a matter of whether it would finish third or fourth.
The latter question was answered when Plattsburgh defeated Potsdam, 5-2. For the former question, Potsdam had to wait to see what happened in the Geneseo game.
Though Plattsburgh controlled play early on, it took awhile before the Cardinals scored their first goal, which came when Conor McDonough beat Ryan Venturelli up high on the power play at 18:46.
It didn't take long for Plattsburgh to get their second goal, just a couple of minutes into the second period. Bryant Wilson jumped onto the ice just after a Cardinals penalty expired, and found himself with the puck and a breakaway, and he didn't waste the opportunity.
At the 15-minute mark, Plattsburgh scored another power-play goal when Brendon Hodge rifled a shot from the blue line that Venturelli had no chance on.
Plattsburgh, playing one of its strongest periods of the season, was up 3-0, and Potsdam only had one shot in the second period. It appeared the Cardinals were about to cruise to an easy victory.
Then, suddenly, Potsdam scored twice in 20 seconds to cut the lead to 3-2, both on relatively weak shots. The first was scored by Joel Jennings and assisted by Scott Craig. The second was scored by Craig, assisted by Jennings.
Those were the only shots in the period by the Bears, as Craig Neilson made just one save. Meanwhile, Venturelli was keeping Potsdam in the game as he turned aside 20 of 22 second-period goals.
Plattsburgh quickly answered the comeback attempt in the third period when Doug Carr dumped it towards the net, and it found its way through the five-hole at 1:23.
Kilcan sealed the game with an unassisted empty-netter.
Plattsburgh finishes one of its more disappointing regular seasons in third place with a league record of 9-4-1 and 15-7-3 overall. Plattsburgh will host Cortland this weekend in the two-game first-round playoff series.
Potsdam, after getting off to a strong start early in the season, wound up finishing 7-6-1 and 12-11-2 overall. This meant Potsdam would play Geneseo, an overtime loser to Brockport.
Geneseo loses the tie-breaker to Potsdam, so the Bears will host the Ice Knights this weekend in a rematch of last year's play-in round, but up North instead.

News Roundup: Free Music From R.E.M.; Tickets by Cellphone
ILike, a social-networking service for music fans, will offer members R.E.M.'s new album for free, Reuters reports. The album, titled "Accelerate," will be available for iLike members to listen to and share beginning Monday, a week before it is realeased more broadly. Facebook users will also get a shot to hear the music through iLike's Facebook application. R.E.M.'s move follows music giveaways by other bands in recent weeks, such as Nine Inch Nails.

World-wide ticket sales on mobile phones could reach 2.6 billion units annually by 2011, or $87 billion in sales, according to a research firm's projections, the Hollywood Reporter says. As Internet-enabled phones rise in usage, more people are expected to grab tickets for movies, sporting events and concerts on the run.

Kudos to ABC Family's The Fosters for continuing to support foster care adoption!
January 13, 2014 marks the much anticipated return of Executive producer Jennifer Lopez ABC Family's The Fosters. Viewers are looking forward to seeing and learning more about characters Jude, Callie, Brandon, Jesus, Mariana and their parents Stef and Lena.
Many viewers say ABC Family's The Fosters "Great!" and that they are "sitting on the edge of their seat" as they await the premiere of season two on January 13. They can't wait to see more of Stef and Lena.
The Fosters, an hour-long drama about a multi-ethnic family shaped by biological, foster and adopted children raised by two women has helped draw attention to children and youth in foster care, same-sex parenting and the rewards of foster care adoption.
When it debuted last June, children and youth in foster care around the globe were given a new voice thanks to ABC Family's collaboration with Executive producer Jennifer Lopez.
Stef Foster (Teri Polo), a dedicated police officer, and her partner Lena Adams (Lena Saum), a school vice principal demonstrate the vulnerability, strength and perseverance needed to parent any child, biological or otherwise.
Fostering and adopting a child or youth can shape his or her life in a positive way. Foster care and adoption is important to the growth of families everywhere.
Jennifer Lopez and the team she works with at ABC Family respectfully demonstrates a realistic representation of what it might be like for some parents like Stef and Lena and the foster care system nationwide.
Resources about foster parent licensing and adoption in your state or the difference between domestic, international and private adoption can be found online at the Child Welfare Information Gateway and local human service offices.
Information and referral search websites like 211.org can provide links to local and state resources to those interested in learning more about becoming a foster or adoptive parent.

PRESS RELEASE: Direct from Oconee County Economic Development Commission
(WALHALLA, S.C.) – Oconee County continues to position itself to compete globally for new capital investment and job creation in the new economy by being proactive on the industrial recruitment front. The most recent example is moving forward with renaming an industrial park and having this same park become a "South Carolina Certified Industrial Park" by the South Carolina Department of Commerce. Both actions will improve the marketability of this county-owned industrial real estate to prospective companies and corporate decision-makers.
The industrial park located off South Carolina highway 11 was formerly known as the 'Echo Hills Industrial Park' but has now been relabeled the 'Oconee Industry and Technology Park'. "In the world of technology and internet searches, this rebrand was necessary to market it more accurately to a global audience and to call it what we want it to become – a home for industry and technology-related firms in Oconee County," commented Richard K. Blackwell, executive director of the Oconee County Economic Development Commission (OCEDC).
The South Carolina Department of Commerce and the McCallum Sweeney Industrial Site Certification Program have awarded the Oconee Industry and Technology Park status as a "certified industrial park."
"This rigorous three-step certification process took about nine months to complete and now it proves to prospective companies looking to make their multi-million dollar decision that the industrial park in Oconee County is project-ready," stated Russell Johnson, project manager for the OCEDC.
"To stay on the cutting-edge of economic development, these are things we must do here in Oconee County to position ourselves for future successes. I applaud the efforts of the team for getting these two things completed and thank Oconee County Council for their support. Having this park certified and rebranded will help us in our pursuits of economic development activity," said Oconee County Economic Development Commission Chairman Hank Field.
The Oconee County Economic Development Commission
Oconee County is located in the Upstate of South Carolina along the I-85 Corridor midway between Atlanta and Charlotte. The Oconee County Economic Development Commission works to improve the quality of life for citizens of Oconee County by encouraging a diversified economy that attracts industrial and commercial investment and fosters retention of existing business and industry.

It is not likely talk radio will solve the social ills experienced in the New Orleans area or around the nation but, local talk radio can often bring issues from out of the closet into an open forum. Wednesday, on Tommy Tucker's WWL radio morning show two issues which affect children and families were discussed. Stay at home parents and the Common Core educational platform. But no matter what educational system that is brought forth for students when they are of school age, there may be nothing more important than what children learn in the first three to six years of their lives. Children need to be nurtured and stimulated for learning at a young age and a stay at home parent, whether a mom or a dad can be vital to a child's early development, if the parent takes the time to teach and interact with that child constructively. It has been said, small children are like sponges, they soak in everything and learn much from observation alone, however observation without interaction could stifle advanced cognitive development. If babies or toddlers are put in front of a television to watch Sponge Bob Square Pants they may be entertained but what will they learn from it? Chances are they may learn how to say Sponge Bob but if a parent watches Sponge Bob with them and narrates what Sponge Bob and other characters are doing and saying the dynamic changes tremendously on what that child takes in. Those early years are also an opportune time to teach children counting and the basics for reading so by the time children are ready for Kindergarten they will have already learned all of the alphabets and significant counting, adding single digits, and basic reading skills. For a lot of families a stay at home parent may have a greater financial advantage as well, which was one of the matters discussed on the Tommy Tucker show. With the high cost of daycare it may make more sense for a parent to not work rather than work just to pay for childcare and especially if the child is not learning while in childcare, or worst learning bad behaviors or habits. Ultimately parents must weight what is the most important alternative.

After I had kids, my armpits called for more sensitive deodorant. It was just one of those weird body changes that came my way post-pregnancy. So ever since, I've been searching for better deodorant without harsh chemicals. After trying dozens, I've settled on two great choices that I recommend. Both work really well fighting sweat and stink. Here's a look at my two favorites: Tom's Naturally Dry and Kiss My Face's Active Life Stick. You can buy both online and at Whole Foods and related stores.
Tom's Naturally Dry. This comes in both unscented and powder scent. The powder scent is very faint and just smells clean. It's not distracting at all. Not only does this stuff work, but it also helps my underarms feel good again. No stinging, no redness. Just dry and comfortable. No animals were harmed in testing and no animal products are used in making it. From the manufacturer: "Tom's of Maine Naturally Dry antiperspirant sticks provide clinically proven 24-hour wetness and odor protection made entirely from ingredients derived from plants and minerals that meet our stewardship model for safe, effective and natural. Naturally Dry AP contains a wetness protection ingredient made from recycled aluminum (which was originally derived from natural mineral bauxite ore). The product also contains anti-microbial olive leaf extract, 100% natural fragrance and is free of artificial preservatives and animal ingredients, just like all our products."
Kiss My Face Active Life Stick. This stuff doubles as a nice light perfume and deodorant with its delightful patchouli smell. It's not so smelly that people all around can smell you. But whenever I reach for something I get a pleasant whiff of this relaxing smell, which is really refreshing for a deodorant. This stuff isn't sticky and dries quickly. It leaves my underarms fresh, dry and non-irritated. It is also vegan-friendly. From the manufacturer: "Be fresh! Our clinically proven formula will keep you fresh and confident all day long. Time tested botanicals and effective odor absorbing ingredients work outrageously well in this formula, scented with exotic, natural patchouli essential oil."

A Landscape Before and After Story
Many cities are beginning to require contractors to landscape at least the front of a property, but many older neighborhoods still suffer with that one neighbor who never seems to notice his overgrown, weed-infested yard. It is amazing the difference a yard transformation can make not only for the homeowner, but the neighborhood as well.
One such yard comes to mind, it was even complete with those figurines of the jolly couple bent over working in the planter beds. The weeds were almost level with the front porch, creating a habitat for snakes and who knows what else. The trees were in desperate need of pruning, and the fence was falling down. After numerous complaints from neighbors, the complacent homeowner finally took the initiative to clean up his yard. To the elation of the neighbors, he actually began to enjoy himself. He threw himself enthusiastically into his makeover.
He began by removing all of the weeds and pruning the trees. He then installed raised planter beds out of rough-faced concrete blocks. He installed a full irrigation system complete with timers. Within the planters, he planted perennial flowers and spread a layer of shredded bark. Below each of the planters, he laid sod. Flowing through the center up to his front door is a pathway made of brick pavers. The steps were lined with the same brick up to a front porch with cedar decking. At the foot of the driveway he built two brick columns, and adorned the top of each with carriage lights. Between the columns was a wrought iron gate that matched the decorative fencing surrounding the yard.
He admitted he felt more pride in his home; and was so inspired, he repainted the house, installed shutters, and a new front door. If this scenario hits close to home for you, maybe it's time for a transformation in your own yard. Front or back, a properly landscaped yard will help you feel better about your home, increase the value, and actually enjoy easier maintenance. You might be surprised how inexpensive it can actually be to bring a major change. Request a free estimate today from a certified landscaping contractor in your area.

Doug Colman is his second season as the linebackers coach for the Green Wave in 2011.
During his first season at Tulane, Colman's linebacking corps accounted for 225 stops, including 13 stops for lost yardage, one interception, six pass breakups, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Under Colman's tutelage, middle linebacker Trent Mackey led the team in tackles and was a second team All-Conference USA performer and was voted the Louisiana Football Newcomer of the Year.
Prior to Tulane, Colman spent two seasons at his alma mater, Nebraska, as the defensive quality coach and was a part of back-to-back Big 12 North Championships in 2008 (co-champions) and 2009, and also participated in the 2008 Gator Bowl and 2009 Holiday Bowl.
Before Nebraska, Colman was an assistant coach for linebackers and special teams for the Amsterdam Admirals in NFL-Europa during the 2007 campaign.
From 2003-07, Colman was the head football coach and physical education teacher for Absegami High School in Galloway, N.J. During his time there, he led the team to a 40-14 overall record and to three straight conference championships (2004, 2005, 2006), the school's only conference titles, four consecutive New Jersey state playoff appearances (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006) and to the 2006 state championship in the New Jersey South Group IV, the school's only state title. The team also finished as the 2005 state finalist.
Colman was recognized for his team's success by being named the 2004 and 2005 Cape Atlantic League Conference Coach of the Year, the 2004 National Football Foundation-New Jersey Chapter Coach of the Year and the 2003 Press All-Area Coach of the Year. One of the highlights of his prep coaching career came in 2006 when he served as the head coach for the Adam Taliaferro New Jersey All-Star game.
Colman began his coaching career in the prep game in 2001 at his high school alma mater, Ocean City (N.J.) High School, where he was the freshman football coach and coordinated the defense and special teams. Following a one-year stint at Ocean City HS, he spent the 2002 campaign as the assistant football coach and physical education teacher at Oakcrest High School in Mays Landing, N.J. He was the coordinator for both the defense and specials teams at OHS.
Colman played collegiately at the University of Nebraska from 1991-95 and was a part of five Big 8 Conference championships, back-to-back national titles in 1994 and 1995 and four total bowl games for head coach Tom Osborne. Nebraska finished 25-0 during his final two seasons and went 23-0-1 in league play during his career.
Colman played in the 1992 Orange Bowl vs. Miami (Fla.), the 1994 Orange Bowl vs. Florida State, the 1995 Orange Bowl vs. Miami (Fla.) and the 1996 Fiesta Bowl vs. Florida. All four bowl games were for the national championship.
Following his collegiate career, Colman was drafted in the sixth round (171st overall) of the 1996 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. He played five seasons in the NFL from 1996 to 2000 as linebacker, playing a total of 64 games for the Giants, Tennessee Titans (including Super Bowl XXXIV) and Cleveland Browns.
During his rookie season with the Giants in 1996, he was voted the "Special Teams Player of the Year" after leading the special teams in tackles and serving as the team's leader in special teams tackles. He received the same award in 1997 and 1998 and helped lead New York to the NFC East title.
Colman played with the AFC Champion Tennessee Titans in 1999 and played in Super Bowl XXXIV against the St. Louis Rams and was awarded the game ball for the "Music City Miracle" against the Buffalo Bills in an AFC Playoff game.
Following the 1999 campaign, he spent the next three seasons with the Oakland Raiders/Cleveland Bowls (2000) and the New York Jets (2001).
Colman starred at Ocean City High School where he is a member of the hall of fame. As a senior, he was named "South Jersey Defensive Player of the Year" at linebacker and he also gained more than 1,000 yards as fullback.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore unfiltered at voluntary veteran minicamp
Matt Moore got the first word.
The Miami Dolphins brought Moore followed by David Garrard to speak in front of a microphone, cameras and reporters in that order. Does that mean he entered this week's Miami Dolphins voluntary veteran minicamp as the front-runner? He's been on the roster longer than Garrard, and Moore led Miami to a strong finish in 2011.
So why not give him the first word.
As first days go, Moore could have done better during the two minicamps Tuesday that were open to the media. Honestly, everyone could have done better. But it was the start of a quarterback battle between Moore and Garrard, and every snaps counts.
So how did Moore handle the press? Here is the latest version of Moore unfiltered after Tuesday's voluntary veteran minicamp.
(On if he feels he is battling for a starting job) – "I feel like everyone's competing. That's what we have been told. That is kind of the model we followed today. I think that is all you can ask for as a player. We have a whole new staff in here and they are learning us and we are learning them. That's what we have right now. It's been good. Today was a good day. I feel like we are all competing."
(On if he feels he can be the quarterback of the future) – "Yes. I don't see why not. I think as a player, you always feel that way. You are constantly striving to get better. My main thing now is trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can. Everything is brand new. This is a production based business. If I produce and do well, then there is no doubt I feel I can be here for a while."
(On if he watches the draft) – "I'll say no, but I will probably catch a little bit of it. It's not a priority of mine. I know it is a huge process and it's kind of hard to avoid it. If it's on, I will check it out. It's not something I am going to sit down and TIVO."
(On how long he thinks it is going to take to pick up the offense) – "There's no telling. Every rep is important. The extra mini-camp is crucial. I am thankful for that. It is going to take time like anything else. We are learning the basics. We are going to crawl before we walk here and that's what we are doing now. Hopefully, it comes sooner than later. Right now, we are laying the foundation (and) the structure of what is going to the base of this offense. Just looking to move forward everyday and keep learning. I don't know how long it will take, but hopefully we will pick it up pretty quick."
(On what he likes about the offense so far) – "The thing I like about the definition of the offense is that it spreads the ball out naturally. With the personnel groups we have…the route combination really allows anyone to be the #1 at any time which is pretty cool. A lot of quick throws. Guys able to find little pockets and get open quickly. That's been fun to be a part of I guess. That's something new for me…to kind of play fast. It's been good."
(On if he talked to anyone at Green Bay about the offense and Coach Philbin) – "No. I don't know anybody. I got a lot of information from you guys through the whole process. It's been an absolute pleasure so far working with him. He is a real straightforward guy. What you see is what you get and I'm sure that's how he acts with you. That's how he acts with us."
(On if how much pressure he puts on himself to perform) – "You want to play well. Whether (or not) you call that pressure or desire…I don't know what you call it. I want to play well when I am out there. Limit the mistakes, limit the turnovers (and) put points on the board. There's definitely a fire to play well."
(On if he feels disrespected) – "No. I was named the starter in Carolina in 2010 and they drafted two guys. I don't. It is a business. People upstairs have jobs to do. As a player, all I can do is play. Didn't take it personal. I am going to come out here and work and do my job. I know they signed David (Garrard) which I am really excited about. It is great to have a guy that's been around (and) has had success. I think he went to a Pro Bowl or two, I don't know the number there. It's awesome having him in the room. A guy (that has) played well in this league and whatever they do in the future is whatever they do in the future. I can't control it."

Using a coupon code from The Mom Creative, I designed a memory keeper box from Paper Coterie and it arrived this week.
I had several things I thought such a box would be good for: Christmas cards, one for each of the kids, one for cards and love notes from my husband. In the end I decided to do a really plain one with this picture from last year's Christmas card shoot. (It was not the picture we ended up using, but I've always liked it.) We're wearing 3D glasses as a nod to my husband's 3D movie that came out last fall. I decided I could use the box for all the stuff we have around from that movie. Glasses, ticket stubbs, press.
The box showed up and it looks amazing! It's WAY bigger than I was imagining, there's plenty of room for the stuff I want to keep in it. I'm definitely going to make a few more. This would be a fabulous gift, by the way, especially if you already had some of the items to go inside.
On the HH Facebook Page this week: We had a good discussion on my love for The Dry Bar (including pictures of my hair) and I reminded everyone that the Google Next button changed my life. You can like HH on Facebook for links to my posts and original discussions and content. There might even be a FB followers-only giveaway coming up. If I can figure out if that's legal.
On the blog this week: WOW you guys really love a pretty bag! A record number of entries in my giveaway. Leave a comment on this post to enter if you haven't already. I also really appreciated all the thoughts on potty-training from Monday. I've thought about it a lot and have decided that we're just not going to push it right now. We will talk about it, we will probably buy the Elmo potty DVD, and then we'll see what she comes up with herself. I'll keep you posted on that very important breaking news.
For your weekend reading pleasure:
I was pretty shocked by how many people in the giveaway comments have either finished or were close to finishing their Christmas shopping. Overachievers! For the rest of you who might need some inspiration, here is Emily Henderson's Holiday Guide.
I don't want to get graphic and weird on you, but this post from Mommy Nani Boo Boo (also with a newborn) made me laugh out loud. I relate, oh, how I relate. (Mommy Nani Boo Boo)
I'm a fan of Jenna Lyons, creative director of J.Crew, and what she has done with that company. I happened upon this old post from Habitually Chic with lots of pictures of her home. Fact: her nursery was featured in several magazines with its yellow striped ceiling, and soon after I did a yellow striped ceiling in Pigtail's original nursery. Everyone thought I was copying her. I swear I didn't see it until after! No one ever believes me. (Habitually Chic)
These are about the cutest little Thanksgiving desserts or placecard settings I've ever seen. (Our Best Bites)
Things will probably be spotty around here next week, if I'm around at all (don't worry, I will announce the winner of the Nixon bag). I'm looking forward to spending lots of time with family and friends and regrouping a little bit before the whirlwind of December hits.
Happy Thanksgiving, HH readers!

The Urban Libraries Council (U.L.C.) is celebrating the successful launched of the Edge Initiative. "Almost 1,800 libraries nationwide have signed up and so we're very excited about that, we're taking a moment and celebrating that initial success," said Jake Cowan, Senior Program Manager for the U.L.C., Edge Initiative. He and Alison Saffold, Senior Communications Manager for the U.L.C., Edge Initiative, called in from the U.L.C. headquarters in Chicago for an interview today, Easter Monday, April 21, 2014.
Mr. Cowan said, "Everything's gone along pretty well…We've had a few bugs, but they've all been normal start-up bugs." He noted the library community is pretty small and librarians talk to each other. The fact so many libraries have signed up for the Edge Initiative shows there is good word of mouth about it amongst librarians.
A spokeswoman for the Urban Libraries Council (U.L.C.) wrote me on Maundy Thursday, April 17, 2014, that the U.L.C. "in partnership with a national coalition of leading organization, is celebrating the successful launch of the Edge Initiative, a new leadership and management tool for public libraries. Today, three months after the national launch in late January 2014, more than 1,700 public libraries are applying this tool to make an even greater impact on their communities through strategic public technology services. That represents almost 20% of the public libraries in the U.S.! As the role of libraries evolves, the Edge Initiative presents a new and interesting example of how libraries are working more closely with their communities to ensure their value and relevance in today's digital world."
Lara Clark and Mary Hirsh wrote about the launch of the Edge Initiative in the January/February issue of American Libraries: The Magazine of the American Library Association ("How to Get The Edge on Technology Access"). On the Edge Initiative's Web site, there are six case studies illustrating how libraries of various sizes have used the Edge Toolkit.
In a press release dated April 17th, the U.L.C. stated, "As cities, towns and counties across the United States celebrate National Library Week, public libraries are using a new management and leadership tool called Edge. Launched in late January 2014, over 1,700 public libraries are using Edge to explore the strategic needs of their community and align their public technology services with critical community priorities. Recognizing that communities thrive when people have opportunities to enrich and improve their lives through open access to information, communication and technology services, Edge enables public libraries to assess their current technology, identify areas of excellence and strengthen policies, practices and resources. Edge provides a tool set that helps library staff with strategic planning and resource allocation while strengthening communications with local leaders. By using Edge, libraries are able to demonstrate how their work adds value and supports strong outcomes for the community."
"We've had great feedback both from public libraries and state libraries," said Mr. Cowan. "Using information in this way to better plan services is something that city managers and mayors are really looking for, and this really helps professionalize the library field."
"Our police and fire departments, our emergency communications department and our recreation department all participate in accreditation programs. Like these departments, libraries need to go through an evaluation process that takes national standards, benchmarks, outcomes and measures to define the service that they provide," stated Rashad Young, City Manager of Alexandria, Virginia, in the press release. "Being City Manager, it really does make a difference when our departments have used professional tools like Edge to say 'here is what the best practices say about where we should be and how we should be delivering services, here is how we compare against these benchmarks and here is what we need to do to meet or exceed these best practices.'"
The U.L.C. stated, "In today's public libraries, patrons attend technology training and use public computers and Internet-access to apply for jobs, complete college applications, advance skills through professional certification programs, get homework help, receive literacy training, access government, financial, health information and much more."
"Edge is not just about providing high quality technology, it is also about knowing your community and the types of technology programs that your community needs," stated Anne Masters, Library Director of Pioneer Library System in Oklahoma. "The Pioneer Public Library is conducting a system-wide community assessment survey in preparation for a strategic planning process. We will integrate our Edge results into our strategic plan and discuss it with our city government and community planning group."
Just three months following the national launch of the Edge Initiative, nearly 20% of public libraries have adopted this new professional tool. The Edge Initiative was developed by a coalition of leading library and local government organizations with funding from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and led by the U.L.C. "We're pleased to offer Edge to libraries across the United States – large and small, urban, suburban and rural – to help them continuously plan and work with key stakeholders," stated Susan Benton, President & C.E.O. of the U.L.C. "By connecting public libraries with the strategic goals and outcomes of local leaders, Edge is making a difference in communities across the country."
The U.L.C. opened a second office in Washington, D.C. late last year. U.L.C. President & C.E.O. Susan Benton now works in Washington. By working in Washington, they are able to more fully engage the Federal Government and national civic organizations that are headquartered there, Mr. Cowan and Ms. Saffold told me.
A national coalition formed to establish the Edge Initiative. The U.L.C. is the lead organization.
The other parties are the American Library Association (ALA)-Office for Information Technology Policy; LYRASIS; the Public Library Association; OCLC; the State Libraries of California, Oklahoma, and Texas; university-based research groups from the University of Maryland and University of Washington; International City/County Management Association; TechSoup Global; and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The U.L.C. calls the other organizations in the coalition "collaborative development partners."
"Those development partners are all national organizations, as well," noted Mr. Cowan. "They collectively touch most of not all of the library field."
The program is just domestic, but down the road it may be of international scope, Mr. Cowan said. Only public libraries and state libraries are involved, so far.
I asked if academic and research libraries might get involved in the Edge Initiative. Mr. Cowen explained it would be more complicated than getting them signed up.
There are already some features of the program that would interest them, but it is not geared toward academic and research libraries. "We'd have to do some work to make it relevant for them," Mr. Cowen said.
He added, "We're off to a great start, but we want to build it up before we start building it out for others."
To sign up to become an Edge library or for more information, visit www.libraryedge.org. For more information about the Edge Initiative, call Ms. Saffold at (312) 676-0953 or e-mail her at asaffold [at] urbanlibraries.org.

According to TSN on Saturday, the Canadian Olympic men's curling champions of Brad Jacobs, Ryan Fry, E.J. Harnden and Ryan Harnden of Sault. Ste. Marie, Ontario were honoured at the fifth end break of the semi-final Saturday night of the 2014 Tim Horton's Brier at Kamloops, British Columbia.
Jacobs and his team from northern Ontario, won a gold medal in men's curling at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
In the gold medal game, team Canada defeated Great Britain's David Murdoch in a lopsided score of 9-3. It would be one of ten gold medals Canada won at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
Meanwhile, at the 2014 Tim Horton's Brier, British Columbia's John Morris will play Alberta's Kevin Koe in the championship final Sunday evening (TSN, 5:30 p.m.). Morris has won an Olympic gold medal in the past as a third to Kevin Martin of Edmonton at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. At the 2014 Tim Horton's Brier, Morris calls the game and continues to throw third stones for British Columbia.
Koe's second meawhile is Carter Rycroft of Grande Prairie, Alberta, who was the second for Martin on Canada's silver medal winning curling team at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City.

Massachusetts Welcomes Fordham, La Salle To Town This Weekend
April 4, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. -- In what has become the premier softball rivalry in the Atlantic 10 Conference, Massachusetts and Fordham will take center stage this weekend as the Minutewomen welcome the Rams and La Salle to Sortino Field Friday through Sunday.
The Fordham series will feature a single-game Friday at 3 p.m. and Saturday at Noon, while the La Salle games will consist of a Sunday doubleheader beginning at Noon.
About Massachusetts
UMass (6-16, 3-1) is riding a four-game winning streak and is in the midst of a stretch where it will play seven-consecutive and 12 of 15 at Sortino Field.
Cyndil Matthew has paced the UMass offense all season. The senior outfielder from Westfield, N.J. ranks sixth in the league with a .388 batting avg. She ranks second in steals (14) and is third in walks (11).
Classmate and team co-captain Katie Bettencourt has also picked things up at the plate. The Salem, N.H. native hit .556 in three victories last week with three runs, a home run and a team-best six RBI. She posted a 1.000 slugging pct and a .545 on-base pct. as she extended her hitting streak to five games.

About Fordham
Fordham (20-10, 4-2) comes to the Pioneer Valley having won its last five games, which includes four league games after being swept in a doubleheader at Charlotte. The Rams have won 15 of their last 17 outings with a win over Texas when the Longhorns were ranked fifth in the country.
Jamie LaBovick leads the A-10 with a .443 batting average, while posting three home runs, 16 RBI and a league-high 30 runs scored. The pitcher/first baseman has a school-record 18-game hitting streak and was named the A-10 Hitter of the Week on Monday. In the circle she is 10-7 with a 2.68 earned run average. Fellow hurler Michelle Daubman is 10-4 with a 3.10 ERA and has matched LaBovick with seven complete games.
The games could put some stress on the scoreboard as both schools possess high-powered offenses. Fordham is hitting .302 this season with a league-best 39 home runs (1.3 per game). In A10 games, UMass leads the league with a .367 avg and has eight homers (2.0 per game).
