The NIU football team wrapped up its 13th practice of spring under cold and rainy conditions at Huskie Stadium Monday afternoon. Two days after holding its annual spring game, the Huskies pulled back a little turning in an hour-long workout in shorts and helmets.
The first third of practice was spent working on special teams, and individual work, the second part was pass skelly and the last three periods of practice were dedicated to preparation for this weekend's inaugural Huskie Bowl. Following period eight, the squad split into their respective Cardinal and Black teams.
Cardinal head coach Kevin Kane took his team to the North end zone, while Black head coach Joe Tripodi took his squad to the South end zone. Both team worked on their field goal/extra points. A big roar came from the Cardinal side of the field on its first made field goal, while the Black team responded in kind with a cheer of their own following one of its made field goals.
The team returns to the practice field at 6 a.m. Tuesday (April 16). Be sure to catch NIU head coach Rod Carey sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" Wednesday night. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. and will be televised on WGN-TV.

Reviews for Caramel Apple Bites
"A great waste of time and money. I've read some of the reviews, so maybe the filling should have cooked longer to make it thicker, but there really was no guidance on the recipe. 1/3 cup of apple in a 1/4 teaspoon -- one tiny little piece, and it was almost impossible to re-form the ball with even that tad bit of filling inside. You would not even know there were apples in there. This is definitely not a keeper. Sorry. Looked great on paper and in photo, but very, very disappointed. P.S. - Way too many walnuts -- and I love walnuts."
"These were a hit. I followed the recipe exactly and each step turned out as the recipe described. The cookie was the PERFECT consistency. The only change I will make next time is omitting the walnuts from the topping; unless I said it, no one knew there was apple."
"This was a homerun! I followed the directions exactly and they came out great. Not only did the people at my party love them, but I took them to work for a potluck and they didn't even make it to the end of the potluck before they were all devoured. I love that the cookie isn't too sweet. It's a perfect balance and a great caramel apple taste without losing your teeth to an apple."
"If I could rate this a 0 I would. It was a miserable fail. For so many reasons. I read the comments in advance...made the adjustments I thought were necessary and the final product was still horrible. The filling took 30 minutes to reduce to the right consistency. The caramels took forever to melt on the stovetop, and the final carmel sauce was still too runny to adhere to the "cookie." The cookie itself was bland tasting and never fully retained it's "ball" shape so the final product looked like a squished mess. What a waste of $$ and time."
"Why not just use caramel chips?"

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Bachelor 2013 spoilers claim that Catherine Giudici is still engaged to Sean Lowe. Who wins The Bachelor 2013 won't be revealed tonight. The final episode in which Catherine Giudici wins The Bachelor 2013 will air next Monday March 11. Tonight, instead, will feature the Women Tell All episode. But one thing the women won't be revealing is whether Catherine Giudici and Sean Lowe are still together.
RealitySteve.com's Bachelor 2013 spoilers are expected to come true next Monday. In fall last year, Steve detailed episode by episode how all the women would be eliminated this season. So far he has been correct. He additionally hasn't had to make any dramatic adjustment to his spoilers either. With Lindsay Yenter heading to the finals next Monday, Yenter will purportedly end her reign on ABC as well. Steve claims that Yenter was offered the Bachelorette role but doesn't want it either.
RealitySteve's accuracy has alleged displeased producers, he claims in recent court documents. Steve is being sued by producers, yet again, for the current The Bachelor 2013 spoilers. But Steve, in an Anti Slapp motion, alleges that he is being pursued because of his spoilers' accuracy. "The Bachelor (hereinafter the Series), hate the fact that Defendants operate a website that publishes newsworthy updates and spoilers concerning several reality television shows, including the Series." He also asserts "In a thinly-veiled effort to chill Defendants from posting spoilers, Plaintiffs filed a factually-devoid complaint against Defendant asserting two claims, each entirely conclusory and both wholly lacking merit."

While producers put forward their allegations about how The Bachelor 2013 spoilers were obtained, Steve claims the assertions are false. He however doesn't indicate to the court how he gets his details so correct, season to season.

He asserts "Plaintiffs filed the presentation alleging, without reference to anything other than pure speculation, that Defendants breached the Settlement Agreement in order to obtain spoilers information, and induced unspecified persons to breach their unspecified contracts with Plaintiffs. Because the complaint was filed to chill Defendants valid exercise of free speech, Defendants file this special motion to strike the complaint."

Steve was previously sued by producers. That case resolved with the parties signing a settlement agreement. Producers claim that Steve has since breached that agreement with his current Bachelor 2013 spoilers. He disagrees. "The term Indirectly also was specially defined in the Settlement Agreement to mean to employ, offer financial inducement, or pay financial inducement to a third-party intermediary to solicit non-public information about the Bachelor Series from a Cast, Crew, or other Employee."

The winner of the Bachelor 2013 season won't be revealed until next Monday. Steve's case, however, won't come to a head until May. At that time, the court will decide whether to grant Steve's motion to dismiss or whether the case will proceed.

You may have noticed that we're hardly perpetual rays of sunshine around here, but even so, we seem to spend a lot of our time enthusing about one gewgaw or another. Doubtblush exists to make it clear that we do not, in fact, like everything.
There is nothing to like about these C. Neeon Harem Pants ($369) - the crotch falls at the knees, the print is reminiscent of a Rorschach Test on ether, they're almost $400, and if you were to put them on your figure would only be flattering compared to that of a rhino. Here is a list of things we would rather do than wear the pants: get a mullet, and a perm, eat nothing but haggis for an entire year, try crystal meth, be shot at dawn. Note the back of the pants, and how the butt area is fluffed out like a puffer fish. The only logical reasons for this extra room would be so the wearer could use the extra space to smuggle small exotic lizards into the country, or to comfortably accommodate an adult diaper.
aww, i love harem pants! the pattern is pretty hideous, though! I have a comfy pair of harem pants in black, and they rule.

LOS ANGELES - UCLA men's water polo player Parsa Bonderson (Santa Barbara, CA) earned first-team GTE Academic All-America honors in the men's fall/winter at-large division, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced today.
Bonderson, a junior who earned a 3.93 GPA in Physics and Math-Applied Sciences, earned his second-straight first-team Academic All-America honors. UCLA's number one goalkeeper in 1997 and '98, Bonderson pulled down a career- high 187 saves this past season.

BRONX, NEW YORK -- The University of Maine women's soccer team dropped a 2-0 decision to Fordham on Sunday afternoon. The Black Bears fall to 1-3-0 on the season, while Fordham improves to 3-1-0.
Fordham struck first, with a goal in the 20th minute. Ivana Lahcanski crossed the ball to Nicol Natale who had her shot from 10-yards out beat Maine keeper Lauren Swant (Oakville, Ontario). The Rams added to their lead early in the second half when Kate McDonnell got a cross from Natale 15-yards out and fired the back into the back of the net. For McDonnell, it was her second goal of the season.
Fordham outshot Maine 16-4 in the game. Swant finished with a pair of saves and falls to 0-2-0 on the season. Ally White made two saves to record the shutout for Fordham.
Eve L'Abbe (Laval, Quebec) led Maine with three shots, while Liis Emajoe (Tallinn, Estonia) had one.
Maine returns to action on Friday, Sept. 5 when its travels to Holy Cross. Kick off is scheduled for 7 PM.

When performing a conformational search, how do I judge whether the search has covered the complete conformation space?
For a non-systematic search method (like MCMM, LMCS, or LMC2) there is no single indicator that a search has sampled sufficient conformation space. If you want to ensure that a search is exhaustive, break the search up into blocks of 1000-5000 steps (the exact number will depend on the problem size). Run the first "block" and reminimize the structures to ensure that they are all converged. Then, "seed" the second search with the structures from the first by using the output structure file from the first search as the input structure file for the second search. Continue this process of running blocks, each seeded with the results of the previous block until a block of steps produces no new low-energy structures. For an exhaustive search, run until a block produces no new structures. For more information, see the section "General Guidelines for Convergence" in the MacroModel User Manual (Chapter 4).

Between 40 to 60 percent of the fish that are caught in the North Sea are thrown back dead. In 2011 Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall went on a mission to find out why and ended up starting a grass routes movement that is rewriting government policy called Hugh's Fish Fight.
The fish are discarded because fishermen generally target one species, but they catch fish in mixed fisheries (i.e. different species of fish swim around in the ocean together, they don't discriminate, they love each other.) Fisherman don't want to bring in fish they can't sell because they've fallen out of fashion with modern palates, and fish like cod, and haddock have to be thrown back because they are over-quota. Quotas were established to protect certain species of fish from over fishing. Quotas back fire because the fish are caught anyway and are often dead before they can be returned to the ocean. This means viable food thrown overboard.
Unfortunately, rewriting the Common Fisheries Policy is a complicated business; there isn't one perfect solution. For example, if you lift quotas completely then fish at great risk of extinction like the Blue Fin Tuna (Toro) could be fish out of existence. Hugh's Fish Fight recognizes the solution will probably come from a wide variety of ideas and policies. They are working in partnership with a number of environmental and animal welfare NGOs to come up with a solution.
Hugh's Fish Fight suggests some solutions like, "Expand[ing] the selection of fish that you eat by trying some of the lesser-known species of local fish currently being discarded as trash. In the UK, cod, salmon and tuna account for more than 50% of the fish that we consume, and tasty, exciting and nutritious fish such as flounder, dab, coley and pouting are overlooked and thrown away."
The other solution is to cut back on your fish consumption, stop eating fish or go vegetarian/vegan, as I have suggested on this blog before.
Whether you're a die-hard vegetarian or a guy who loves to fish and eat what he's caught Hugh's Fish Fight is worth supporting because waste is madness, so sign the petition today!

Linen comes from the flax plant and is one of the earliest fibers to be made into cloth. It is a very strong and durable fabric and has a lovely crisp texture.
How to clean:
To sustain the sturdiness and smooth texture of your item, simply spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry or iron. You may also dry clean (only if necessary as it can get quite pricey). Please note that if you do wash your tub in water expect approximately 5% shrinkage and it will lose it's original crisp look and texture. All linen products can be ironed when necessary using the "linen" setting on your iron.
Burlap is a woven fabric made from skin of the jute plant. It is a very tall, grasslike plant which is grown for the strong fibres in its stalks. These fibres are cut and cleaned and then woven into cloth. It is used to make quality industrial yarn, fiber, net, and is often used to make sacks and bags to ship goods like coffee beans. It is breathable, durable and tough enough to withstand rough handling.
Historically, the burlap hairshirt was used by some religions to induce discomfort or pain as a sign of repentance and atonement. German soldiers from the state of Hesse had uniforms commissioned from the sturdy material, thus giving burlap its other referred name, Hessian.
Burlap is 100% biodegradable and recyclable and thus 100% eco friendly.
Burlap does not like to get wet. It tends to shrink when washed, create massive amounts of lint in your washing machine, wrinkle like crazy and will even smell bad when wet. My simple recommendation is to spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
The Floursack Teatowel
During the "Horse and Buggy" days homemakers purchased their flour in 100 lbs bundles or sacks made from 100% fine woven cotton. Once emptied, these frugal folk used to cut up the floursacks to create various household items which included kitchen towels, polishing cloths, bed sheets, pillow cases, and even underwear!
A time-honored essential with natural simplicity and versatility, these soft, white, pure cotton floursack towels are more absorbent, more economical, and less wasteful than paper towels.
How to clean:
Just throw them in the washing machine on a cold cycle. You may experience a small amount of shrinkage on the first wash. Use a stain remover if need be and hang to dry or if you're like me, just pop them in the dryer.

Framing Hanley - The Sum of Who We Are (Imagen Records/ Independent Label Group): In all honesty, Framing Hanley's The Sum of Who We Are should have been the band's follow-up to their massive debut The Moment. By no means is that an indictment of A Promise to Burn, their 2010 sophomore album, but The Sum of Who We Are sounds like a logical progression from the tormented aggressiveness of The Moment. This is by far the most well-rounded the band has ever come across, as The Sum of Who We Are combines the melodious with the discordant, taking the guitar-driven destructive best of The Moment ("Criminal," "Collide," "No Saving Me") with sleek ballads coated in a glossy sheen ("Unbreakable," "Science," "Streetlights and Silhouettes"). Frontman Nixon's vocal interplay with Lindsey Stamey on "Rollercoaster" is picture perfect, and while it might hard for longtime fans of the band to swallow, The Sum of Who We Are might just be the best Nixon has ever sounded vocally. "Simple Life" is not only a highlight on The Sum of Who We Are, it's also a highlight of the bands entire discography; a bouncy call-and-response number with subtle synth underpinnings. While the band may have dropped out of the public eye over the last half decade, The Sum of Who We Are should be more than enough to serve as a proper reintroduction, reminding everyone along the way just what Framing Hanley is sonically capable of.

It was from many years ago so it's not in the best condition. a corner is cracked off by the date issued and the writing on my date of birth is kind of smeared together. My name, address and certificate number can still be seen. Will they look up the certificate number anyways? Or will I have to buy a new certificate, copy it, and mail it in again? That is the only thing I'm worried about. Also I mailed it on the 12th, it's now the 23rd, if they were not going to accept it as proof would they have sent it back to me already? Thanks :D

The gradual upward changes of standards in normal everyday life have significant environmental implications, and it is therefore important to study how these changes come about. The intention of the article is to analyze the social construction of normal expectations through a case study. The case concerns the present boom in bathroom renovations in Denmark, which offers an excellent opportunity to study the interplay between a wide variety of consumption drivers and social changes pointing toward long-term changes of normal expectations regarding bathroom standards. The study is problem-oriented and transdisciplinary and draws on a wide range of sociological, anthropological, and economic theories. The empirical basis comprises a combination of statistics, a review of magazine and media coverage, visits to exhibitions, and qualitative interviews. A variety of consumption drivers are identified. Among the drivers are the increasing importance of the home as a core identity project and a symbol of the unity of the family, the opportunities for creative work, the convenience of more grooming capacity during the busy family's rush hours, the perceived need for retreat and indulgence in a hectic everyday life, and the increased focus on body care and fitness. The contours of the emerging normal expectations are outlined and discussed in an environmental perspective.

The owners of a Colorado cantaloupe farm were arrested Thursday on charges stemming from a 2011 listeria epidemic that killed 33 people in one of the nation's deadliest outbreaks of foodborne illness.
They pleaded not guilty in federal court and were released on unsecured bonds. Trial is scheduled for Dec. 2.
Prosecutors said the federal Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined the Jensens didn't adequately clean the cantaloupe.
Criminal charges in food poisoning cases are rare, said attorney William Marler, who represents many of the listeria victims in civil cases against Jensen Farms. Only four other people have faced such charges in the past decade, he said.
The FDA has said the melons likely were contaminated in Jensen Farms' packing house. It concluded that dirty water on a floor, and old, hard-to-clean equipment probably were to blame.
The epidemic was the deadliest outbreak of foodborne illness in 25 years, and it delivered a serious blow to Colorado cantaloupe farmers.
A number of lawsuits were filed by people who were sickened or who had a family member die after the outbreak.
Eric Jensen, 37, and Ryan Jensen, 33, could face up to six years in prison and up to $1.5 million in fines each if convicted of all counts against them, prosecutors said.
The Jensens' farm in southeastern Colorado filed for bankruptcy after the outbreak.
After Thursday's hearing, the men released a statement calling the outbreak a "terrible accident" and saying they were shocked and saddened by it.

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Washington State University student-athletes won 13 events and broke two of the four meet records Saturday at the 12th Annual WSU Open Indoor Track and Field Meet Friday at the Indoor Facility on the Pullman campus.
Briaúna Watley (redshirt junior, Granada Hills, Calif.) won the women's 200m dash with meet record time of 25.19 seconds, breaking the 2004 time of 25.39 by WSU's Nicole Hatcher. Cougar sophomore Terrance Chambers (Federal Way, Wash.) won the men's 200m in a meet record time of 22.27, erasing Sam Michener's 2007 mark of 22.28 when competing for Idaho.
The 600m races, a rarely run distance but a stable in the WSU Open, saw men and women set meet records. WSU's Jacob Sealby (redshirt junior, Wenatchee) was the first of eight men to break the 600m record time of 1:24.30 run in 2013 by WSU's Richard Shroy. Sealby won the race in a time of 1:19.49. The women's race was won by Liga Velvere, running for the Vandal Track Club, in a time of 1 minute 30.47 seconds, breaking the 2013 time of 1:34.35 by Idaho's Lauren Schaffer.
Cougar competitors in the field events had a very successful day. Kristine Felix (sophomore, Wailuku, Hawai'i) won the women's pole vault with an indoor personal-best height of 13-feet 3/4 inch (3.98m). Charlotte Muschamp (redshirt junior, Edendale, New Zealand) captured the women's high jump with lifetime-best height of 5-10 (1.78m). Zoe Moller won the women's long jump with an indoor PR leap of 17-8 1/4 (5.39m). Senior Mary Barnett (Hermiston, Ore.) won the women's shot put with a heave of 44-9 (13.64m). Freshman Cole Smith (Hoquiam, Wash.) won the men's high jump after clearing the bar at a height of 6-7 (2.01m). PJ Benedictus (junior, Renton, Wash.) won the men's long jump with a distance of 22-10 (6.96m).
Other Cougar women claiming victories on the track included Candice McFarland (redshirt sophomore, Las Vegas) in the 60m hurdles in a time of 8.67 and CharLee Linton (sophomore, Shorewood, Wash.) in the mile in a PR time of 5:12.23. Other WSU men grabbing wins included Daniel Zmuda (freshman, DuPont, Wash.) in the 60m hurdles in a time of 8.23, and Jackson Haselnus (freshman, Gresham, Ore.) in the mile with a time of 4:23.79.
"I think we had some good performances today," WSU Head Coach Rick Sloan said. "At the first meet of the year you're always trying to get the bugs out so some people probably did not perform up to expectations but we also had some who exceeded expectations. And that is what is exciting for us. I think the jumps were a strong area for us today with Kristine Felix's 13-feet in the pole vault and Charlotte Muschamp's 5-10 in the high jump. I thought our 800m people and our 400m people did a really nice job for us in the 600m today."
Next weekend the Cougars teams will divide for three different meets: the Vandal Collegiate and Vandal Open in Moscow, and the Jacksons Invitational/New Balance Indoor in Nampa.

WWE icon Hulk Hogan caused an internet tornado of speculation and rumors today when he posted a not-so-subtle tweet about doing something physical at Wrestlemania 30 in New Orleans,LA on April 6. In February, Hogan was announced to serve the special host of WM30 live on pay-per-view and the WWE Network from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Below you can read Hogan's teasing Twitter post in question.
Should be a day off,naha,gonna blow out chest and back jack,need to be ready in case it gets out of hand at WRESTLEMANIA 30 brother HH - @HulkHogan
Due to serious injuries he has sustained in his 25 plus years in pro wrestling, it has been widely speculated within the wrestling world that Hogan is not able to perform as an active wrestler. In January, Examiner.com reported that WWE was internally not comfortable with the Hulkster wrestling in a full fledged match at Wrestlemania due to a reportedly unfavorable medical exam he had to undergo prior to his 2014 return to the company. Now the former WWE and WCW World Champion who holds a pop culture designation as one of the most popular pro wrestlers of all time, is teasing some physicality at the biggest wrestling show of the year.
If Hogan does indeed get into some in-ring action it will be a fun 'mania moment' for the 80,000 plus assembled from around the world to witness the 'show of shows'. It is not clear who might be on the receiving end of Hogan's assault at this moment.
UPDATE: 'STONE COLD' STEVE AUSTIN CONFIRMED FOR WRESTLEMANIA 30, Read about this huge addition to Wrestlemania and what he might do on Sunday!
Pro Wrestling Examiner's Perspective: Well, this is certainly interesting. No matter what, it does not seem logical after all of the surgeries and damage that Hogan has endured that he should not be having a real physical match at WM30. If he was going to have a legit match on WM30, WWE and Hogan would have been on that course by now to build up mainstream attention and TV ratings for 'RAW'. So if the man in red and yellow does indeed get into it with a superstar or two, it will could likely be in a brawl in or around the ring.

When former Colts Head Coach, Tony Dungy, told the Tampa Bay Times he would not have drafted the NFL's first openly gay player, seventh-round draft pick, Michael Sam, it wasn't exactly breaking news.
After all, Dungy has never been shy in expressing his Christianity, and his stance on faith, and especially family, have never been in question.
But when Dungy gave his reasons as to why he would not draft Sam, his answer was not only surprising, but even more disappointing to read.
"I wouldn't have taken him,'' Dungy said. "Not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it."
That quote seems a bit odd coming from the mouth of an author whose books are entitled Quiet Strength and Uncommon. And especially coming from a man who dealt with racial tensions in the NFL and penned the forward to a book promoting the advancement of racial equality in the league.
Dungy has always projected himself, and been heralded as, a strong individual that doesn't back down; one that stands up to adversity and plows through it with a strong will and unwavering determination. The titles of his books, and his actions on-and-off the field, seemed to affirm this.
But the fact that he admits he "wouldn't want to deal with all of it," seems to go against everything we thought he was.
Think about that quote for a second. Here's Tony Dungy, the fearless leader, admitting he would not draft an openly gay player. Not because it's against his faith, but because he wouldn't want to be the guy to deal with the hassle of the media circus and possible tension that would come with doing so.
When Branch Rickey signed Jackie Robinson to the Los Angeles Dodgers' organization in 1945, he was prepared to deal with all of it.
In 1936, when Hitler was busy depicting African-American athletes as inferior to the aryan race in preparation for the 1936 Olympics, American Jesse Owens was training to prove him wrong. Owens certainly knew the situation he would be in upon landing in Nazi Germany, but he was prepared, and did, deal with it.
That is what uncommon leaders with quiet strength do: they go against the grain, make bold decisions, and are ready and willing to take on all of the challenges and negativity that goes with their decision.
That's what separates the good from the memorable: their willingness to stand up against adversity and face it head on.
That's the kind of man most people assumed Tony Dungy to be.
Which is why it was so disappointing to hear Dungy's quote today. In Indianapolis, and around the NFL for the most part, he was viewed in the pantheon of heroic leaders, but today, we found out he is just another great coach.
Not a groundbreaker; not a history maker; just a good football coach.
And it's a little heartbreaking.

What is overseas aid worth?
The federal government has delayed the promised raise of overseas aid spending to 0.5 per cent of Gross National Income by a year—a measure to get this year's budget back in surplus. The announcement has outraged charities, because since the GFC there has been increasing pressure to cut Australia's overseas aid. What is overseas aid worth and how efficiently is our aid dollar spent?

It is a sign of madness to do the same thing repeatedly and expect a different outcome. What we see is that charity does not work and can actually do harm to the recipient.
When Geldof's brilliant 'Live Aid' initiative raised $286 million for a starving Ethiopia, its population was 29 million and it is now over 70 million and they are still starving.
Australia's aid budget should not be spent on high paid consultants who deliver services, but should be totally focuses on educating and empowering women so that they can choose their family size. Given the opportunity, we see that women choose to have smaller families. What we observe is that smaller families are wealthier and more able to support the welfare of children. Contrary to common mythology it is not education that leads to smaller families and rising wealth, it is actually the other way around. Educated women with larger families will remain poor while uneducated women with a small family will generate a surplus which can be reinvested in their family.

These Life Dance poems are examples of Life poems about Dance. These are the best examples of Life Dance poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
Sometimes life is such a bore we run on automatic;
Then it's time to tango for a dash of the dramatic.
Or when things are dull and only gusto will suffice,
We cha-cha or calypso to inject a dose of spice.
We hustle off to work each morning, foxtrot through the day
And hope that time's electric slide just melts the hours away.
At clock-out time we say goodbye and jitterbug on out;
We hokey-pokey home because that's what it's all about.
Some easy days we waltz on by; we're caught up in the swing
And lindy-hop or tap our way through all that life can bring.
We may go round in circles or, to deal with our despair,
Find someone we can partner with and do-so-do with flair.
For life is like a dance and we are held within its sway;
We dip and twirl and fake the steps, from polka to ballet.
The music of the atmosphere imbues us with its beat
And if we choose to hear it, we just follow with our feet.

We danced amongst the stars that night
when joy had fallen far from sight
We danced under the sun so bright
And when all seemed lost, we held on tight
We danced to the music of hummingbirds
And we danced in the silence when there were no words.
We danced in the shadows of fear and doubt
And we danced when we questioned what life's about
We danced amongst the evergreens
That posed for painters winter scenes.
We danced in the winters bitter chill
And when we danced our world stood still.
For that's what love was meant to be
To find the dance when we cannot see.
To write a new song when the music stops
With lyrics that caress every tear that drops.
For when the rhythm changes and tempo slowed
We're called to dance with the seeds we sowed.
For life is hard, there is no doubt
But Dancing through it, is what life's about.

Life is a dance we were all born to do.
The styles to choose from are more than a few!
Some choose simple two-step; some move with flair.
Some slow dance; some break dance, devil-may-care!
Some free style, while others just dance on cue.
Some tango with zest; some shuffle soft-shoe.
Others glide easily, waltzing on through.
Some change their partners; some stay one pair.
Life is a dance.
You start with the styles in your own milieu,
then grow as you add on new moves you view.
You'll stumble, but sometimes dance on sweet air!
Just keep the beat; try new steps if you dare,
for where you end up is all up to you. . .
Life is a dance!

Where cradled canyons sing
Of ebony wood in the forest
There lies a gurgling spring
Where cockcrows sing their chorus
To the melody of singsong birds
There I've concealed my sensuous words
Filled with befitted signs
The saccharine whiff of my designs
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
Where the fogs of night are fountains
Spills of glistened moon ignite
By distant silhouette mountains
We dance with passion of fight
Entwining ancient stance
Mingling hand in hand we dance
Till the mountains smile on high
Near and far we spring
To pursue the realest of dreams
While the world cries at its seams
Anxious in trouble to cling
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
To where the ridges merry make
From the beaks of wooden bright
In sparkly pools the ghouls awake
That scarce to stir our night
We watch for seekers down under
Muttering secrets in their soul
We bid them lucks of shivers
Dipping gently in
From reeds that hide a tear of a foal
Under the gentle rivers
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
Far away she shall ever churn
The taciturn eyed
She'll listen no more to turn
To the working mills beside
Or the scrubbing of the barn
May peace weave in her song
She shall wave in the yarn
To a haven known as Belong
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
For she comes, the mortal youth
To the wild realm of her truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only her tears be found

You shimmering waves on the ocean blue
Dance not again, he cannot dance with you
You weeping forests where the winds wail too
Let your bright tears fall in the pool of dew
The world of pop will never be the same again
The king is dead, and life is a dream so vain.
Do you ask me why does my sorrow flow so
Endlessly for him? Is he not gone the way
Of men that many went before? O I do know
My time may not be long, and lessons delay.
Who do think was the man in the mirror? did
You see us there, did you know it oppressed him
When like wanton dogs drugged and rabid
Went heedless along the callous way being dim.
Look at the dance videos again, tell me
You see the what he begs to beat it. Off the wall
Are shadows falling like an inner expose
Where he internalized the world, and yet did call
In many songs - his troubled world was us
But now the king's sun set to dust, and we
Remain to heed and weep the vanity of lust
The tangled truths of out tentacled history!
Michael was God's gift to our season, and how I
Wish he would dance for me across the tribal plains
Of Africa again, where warriors ride in the sky
Through the fire make us brothers without chains
A global oneness where dreams deny the child
Nothing again. O death, what oneness beyond this
Can we find? Treat him kindly there, be mild
To him who in this troubled life knew no bliss.
Michael I miss you; O genius, sleep now in peace
The storms of life are over, the lightning ends
And droughts will come again, but I'll never cease
To proclaim your virtues to foes and friends;
Sleep beloved. Your glory stream in summer's eye
And Harlem's street are filled, old men remember
And old women interrupt their planning to cry
Farewell, Michael ... the grandest star is but an ember.

Climb up the hill where gypsies hide,
And breathe on the wind of a restless tide;
Where notes of sorrow from a violin,
Cry out to the night from a heart within.
The day is dim and night is alive,
And gypsies dance like bees in a hive;
They spin and turn while the fire burns bright,
And sparks fly up to kiss the night.
Old men sit while weaving a tale,
While young men sit drinking their ale;
And fires of night flicker and glow,
While the winds of night moan and blow.
They dance too fast, they dance too far;
They follow the light of a fallen star;
But there in the sky a sickle shaped moon,
Dances with gypsies in the fires of June.

Unspoken words, whispers on the waves of the ocean,
Time memories create a world for our friendship to live in.
You always heard the echos of my soul,
The dance within the shadows.
Friendship wears many a face.
Bonds of time, an era long gone by, an imprint of a lifetime
What the heart does, the soul follows, it remembers.
Words are merely a cue sheet,
The stroke of the ink becomes the drumbeat of a song called life.
I remember you, the essence in the weave of life.
Across the distance of time, I wish I could have said what I wanted to you,
Though your life burned shortly in the sky, I remember.
These are the unspoken words,
There are so many unanswered questions, yet I know what happened.
I followed you in the years to come in your footsteps never knowing,
Your art would become the edit of words.
We all have our path.
You may have chosen to end your life with secrets.
The power and essence of you were will live in the fabric of my soul.
I shall remember the woman that made me laugh.
The dance that was once our friendship.
The era that was once your life.

Who says the broken
won't still dance in the rain?
From the sky spills sweet champagne…
Arms wide spread
Warm drops on your face
Laugh out loud …
and dash the puddles!
Put on your boots and splash them!
Like a child, just crash them!
Excise the tears….
embrace the out pour
Feel the sting on your skin
(more alive than ever before)
Gambol in a silver shimmer
Fits of giggles in the drizzle
Misty showers springing flowers
as the spate will hide the pain
Guileless merriment like a child
ingenuous ballet in the rain…
Prisms of light
shaded pink
Glimmers in the water
Reflecting physiognomies of the past
Incandescent spirits
Luminescent white essence
Elan Vitals replenish
Inside of Mother Earth
In a cycle of recycle
Beneath the canopy
of celestial powers
Sway with the
Undulate with the
Hearken…the chime
of natures breeze
Soul enlightened
Senses heightened
Anew and brightened
From the sky falls sweet champagne….
Embrace your life and just dance in the rain....

Musings , Wishes and Life
The Fire burneth while our world turneth
yet the rose still holds it's red bloom
The mighty Oaks stand majestic and tall
while man's glory hardly rates a call
The cold Wind bloweth so surely we know
angels bleach the whiteness in the snow
The Forest lives to give beauty and art
wildlife and earthly souls stand far apart
The Sky singeth and the sweet earth reflects
Natures beauty opposite man's many defects
The Soul endures and stays the greatest test
that prove kindness and love serve us best

As lightening shone and thunder blew
I danced the dance that dancers do
They danced it back and asked if I
Would mind them dancing through the night
I thought no harm could come of this
Besides, such company I've missed
Thus, on we danced so unaware
That torrent rains beyond compare
Fell down in floods on higher ground
And like a wall came crashing down
Then somewhere in a step half made
The dance I danced was washed away
Now all that's left for you to see:
Remains of the catastrophe
Oh, hopefully from this you'll know
Don't ever dance when thunder blows

I've Scribbled This Song For You...
I'm wasting my days,
my empty nights too,
I should have held on,
but I simply lost you,
now I stagger along,
wearing broken smiles,
in between hell and you,
there's a million miles,
yes, I should have kept,
you close to my skin,
soaking your warmth,
but you were laughing,
at my foolish grin...
now I'm all broken,
and torn apart,
but what the hell,
I was always late,
for the tolling of the bell,
and now...
now I stagger along,
wearing broken smiles,
in between hell and you,
there's a million miles,
so kiss me now like you once did,
I'm tired of being so carefully hid,
la laa laa la laa laa laa...
(repeat to fade)

Sometimes I Feel Beautiful
Driving along thinking about what I'm about to do brings a smile to my face. Without a doubt my hair and nails make a big difference in the way I feel about myself! When I look pretty; I feel pretty.
Today my nails will be done in pink and white, oh yes, perfect they shall be. Nothing short of looking delicate and refined I tell myself. I am so excited; the anticipation brings joy into my heart and laughter to my lips!
My hair appointment is closing in. High lights and shaping adds a playful and fun demeanor. Beautiful is how it's going to look and beautiful is how I'll feel. I almost need to pinch myself for I wonder is this really happening to me! Tears sting my eyes and giggles flow forth. Yes; this is my life and this is happening to me!
Thinking of my new makeup and how youthful I'm going to look brings joy into this heart of mine. I can hardly wait to put it on as the excitement builds; I dance around and giggle. I feel so beautiful thinking how perfect I'll look with everything finished.
At times I tell myself, "I know he loves me, I can tell". The glowing in his eyes seems to sparkle with love and passion. My Heart beats a little faster as excitement and wonder fills my entire being! Yes, this is how it should always be, a life filled with joy and laughter.
Finding ways to look beautiful helps me feel beautiful. It's this that causes me to giggle and dance about. The unbridled excitement loosened, flowing through my veins fills me with love and wanting. Tomorrow just maybe this joy will add new meaning and direction causing me to continue feeling beautiful..

Strange colored skies climb northernly this night
Calling our future with wild deamons eyes
Abscure as the creatures who answer the call
Wild are the answers of the reasons and the faults
Certain as the well swept winds
Alluring in it's grasp fought negatively through single wins
I pray twords the skies and it curdles and swims
Thoughts twords the sun and it scorches my rims
Carry me far enough I can be within your sights
Stash us away and the sun will be bright
Motors may break but oceans will be light
I will stay on the coast and wait
The award I will do is make the evening a minute late
Parched is the gulf as the single minute breaks
Great is the second docks a seperate mans gate
The Earths crust slowly begins to crumble
It quivers, then quakes, it slowly opens, the rivers break
A star is born somewhere, a beautiful new star
Great is the struggle, born from the heavens a small light it makes
The new star pulls, it turns, then it feeds and it's fuel it burns
Gently it orbits following all things it understands
The new star bends it dances it stands
Tancing outwardly as creations comprehend
A continient wavers as the new star binds its brand
It feeds off of our oceans as our tides wash in
It goes just as softly forward and back
As the rays of its placement barrow up to the sun
We watch very carefully because it's damages are already done

Enter a storybook tale
Where I can be
The heroine you hail
Lucid dreams of soft reflection
A touch heated with lust and desired protection
A breathe a gasp as we succeed
Join the fairytale with me
Valiant night within dark eyes
the right movement and I make them shine
like moonlight on the steamy hot spring
care to follow for a little dip with me
Trailing like the water at my fingertips
Grasp me around my hips
As close as the breeze on my skin
Whisper lies as I let you in
Lips mumbling up my thighs
bare heart exposed to the sky
fire burning in my veins
Am I a mistress of this lust or simply a slave
Trembling with desire
Take me till we've lost count of the hours
enter this storybook tale
Where I can be the heroine you hail

The din of cheers will die to dusk, in life
the dance will end; we take the bow
from this tall tale - goodbye to strife
at end of day- our story's done now
we say, we had our chance, we had our dance.
Shall I now say you had me in a twirl-
locked in your embrace I felt my once
shy moves – slow waltz in time; but now that girl
you knew, to your final tune will dance no more,
will dance no more – for life is calling- the sequel
must begin; who knows where it will lead, what store
of dreams will unfold the applause we crave, or quell
the tide of hope that's bubbling, in spring awaiting
that season of reaping to glorious sunshine, minds mating.

I had received lots of love in years past
I have felt all joys and pitfalls of it
No pain seems to enter my simple life
Love entertains me, that wonderful hit
I know my life floats above tender hearts
That which brings love, but sometimes avoids me
I move quickly this way and that in air
I have "dance of the butterflies" simply
My life moves in all respects here and there
Highs and lows of dance are of gratitude
Love escapes my lips to my gracious love
My eyes have passion that brings attitude

Dreams of Fantasy and Desire
Midnight was black not one shining star
yet her heart shown on me from afar
Glowing beams that pierced my heart
fallen deeply in love from the start
As the night sounds ebbed and flowed
that beacon lovingly sent glowed
Moon appeared to lessen its might
nothing could outshine it that night
The hours slowed to gift us more joy
we played in love as each others toy
Dreaded were moments before the sun
woke us with nights loving then done
She the glowing rays that lit a fire
from the dreams of fantasy and desire!

She wanted me to dance, to dance away
It was the spring, within the month of May
Still to this day I can see her movements
We went around in circles, made statements
Sun was filtered down from heaven above
Warming the ground and flowers with a shove
Letting things bloom is the dance we both shared
Gorgeous moment, as one showing we cared
Then we slipped into the summer's proud dance
Heat masterfully expresses the prance
Around I spin you, and you delve in me
I feel a piece of you in summer breeze
Here again flowers run abundantly
They enjoy the storms as those flow freely
We danced throughout the summer with some sweat
Proudly showing we danced, best as of yet
And now the dance blows quickly into dusk
Colors shows beauty like our dance-like musk
Leaves shower down onto our very steps
We dance into the warmth of the doorsteps
Glowing around from the cool sunsets here
Things slow down and don't burn up like with fear
She showed me her dancing moves with romance
Awesome feelings come from our swinging dance
I spin her around in the winter's grace
I clasp her tight as the snow falls in place
Whiteness covers the ground and life ceases
Leaving beauty from death and its pieces
The air looks stale and stagnant with a bite
Showing blossoms of winter blooms alright
We danced with a deep feeling in this time
Frozen was our breath, but warm our sublime
She steps it off, and returns back to spring
Feeling the warmth back onto her gold ring
After a year of seasons we return
To the start of real beauty to discern

Sitting here in my apartment
listening to the Mets game on the radio
Looking out my window
seeing the lights from a
nearby building
How many lives are being
acted out
Here in the vast metropolis
How many romances, how many
Are taking place behind
the lights
Imagination can go only so far
Reality can out pace it anytime
City Dwellers feel the
excitement(and the angst)
which the asphalt
homeland is famous for
Life is a funny thing
Our concerns are a small
thing in the vastness
of the cosmos
But millions of city lives
create indelible patterns
Which become the soul
of the city
The young, the old, the male, the female
all participate
In the dance of the
This dance of civilization
Which continues
despite sorrow and regret
This dance cof urban life
revives the many hope-filled
In the concrete

I was singed from the fire to the point of burning
couldn't escape from the heat 'til I reached my time of learning
that the way to stay safe was just to back away
now here at a distance is where I must stay
and while the others dance around the flames I'll watch from here
where the pain they choose to suffer will just slowly disappear
back into the burning fire they feed with their anger, and their suffering and greed
and I must stand apart and heal
where peace and joy are mine and I can feel
a simple moment full of grace
that no ones words or deeds need take it's place.
I danced around the fire until I learned
for me it was no longer time to burn.

Fragile is the mind
That has lost a friend
Fragile too is the snowflake
Seeking sanctuary on my window sill
Both are anonymous to the world
Fragile is the dreamer
Who knows the snowflake well?
Pure as an angels tear
Complex as the heavens above
For Within its crystal, there is a mirror
Where footprints lead me down
A snowy lover's lane
To that first kiss
Oblivious to winter's chill
She held my dreams
Warmed my passion
And whispered the words
That only lovers can hear.
And in the virgin snow
I proclaimed to the night
I love you
As the snow melted into tears upon her face
Fragile was the time we were given
And fragile is the youth
That remembers the girl
That loved him so tender
in the cold of yesterday
Fragile are the Angels
that dance for love
In snowflake dresses
Swirling their magic
Ever knowing that spring
Would chase their dance away
Fragile is the life
Searching for answers
Sharing a snowflakes fate
Brothers of nature
Beautiful and Unique
Born to melt away
In the heat of time
For it is an honour to know a life that others did not
A memory born special to me
Fragile too are we who love this life
Whose lives are touched by those we meet
Who gather the things that make us complete
Friends and Snowflake memories
My happiness in this fragile life

Sunshine's Daily Promises
Sun in a cool waltz across a clear sky
We live too fast and dare to wonder why!
Another slow lazy day of tasks well done
O' yes, the lazy part was the real fun .
Thoughts of why we so readily embrace greed
when just enough is as much as we need.
Perhaps it truly is far later than we think
when life so often vanishes in a mere blink.
Sun rises with its eternal blessed life giving heat
with morning bacon and eggs I wish to eat .
Tomorrow, tomorrow promises of a future chance
don't sleep in, get up to dance, and dance.
Sun in a cool waltz across a blue sky
We live too hard and dare to wonder why !

Solid cover of morn's damp dew
Looks frosty 'pon mown grass
Jets have traversed the eastern sky
Leaving white streaks where passed
The rising sun has cast some pink
There's sand 'pon the low clouds
A mysterious fog hides the hills
Where goblins gather in crowds
They roast marshmallows in the night
Play, sing, and dance with glee
Dare the owls to sing who, who, who
At the rising sun flee

I have danced while music played,
and smiled, although despairingly,
through tears at smiles not meant for me.
My soft eyes, both brown and drab,
have strived to glitter, with scant success,
as others shone bright, reflecting light
beneath their lashes, lush and long.
While I lurched in crazy drunken spirals,
others, precise, performed their pirouettes
and slid across the polished floor
and smiled and laughed and more:
completely at their ease.
What terminal disease decrees
despair my partner in this dance?
Is there no chance to sit the music out,
a listener, discrete, devout?
While others whirl and dip, I slide and slip.
Must I be a half-a-pair with stumbling feet,
inept novice, graceless lout who, led about,
never has an easy air dancing with despair?

The Boatman's Song 2/ Many
Urvashi's heart was aching to hear and to see the elegance
Of the boatman, while he sing those melodies on earth
A great longing started sprouting in her bosom
To visit the earth and to listen those heart touching songs
Which like a powerful magnet were pulling her towards earth
Where flows the Ganges and lives her unseen love
To control her ever increasing desire of hearing those songs
And to see that unique boatman, who lives on earth
Urveshi tried to engage her more and more
In the courtly dances and engagements for Indra
But the more she wanted to escape, more she became enchanted
By the echoes of boatman's songs
Which were tearing her heart and
Making her mind almost intoxicated,
By the melodies of those heavenly songs
The pleasures and comforts of heaven began to pinch her
Like the piercing thorns
Even the dance and music, which were her pride and passion
Became dull and charm less in the wake of those songs
For which she was hailed
As the best among all the Apsaras in the entire universe
Heaven seems to bring no joy and rejoicing for her any more
Her dancing steps, which were the symbols of perfection and beauty
Even started betraying her
As her own heart was no longer in her possession any more
And she found that her mind and heart
Were swept away by that unseen boatman
Sailing his boat somewhere on earth
Apsara Urveshi after finishing her dance that day
Told the God of heaven, Indra
That she perhaps can no longer perform any dance
Owing to agonies of her heart and restlessness of her mind
And her legs were not in tune with her mind to perform
A flawless dance and song by which she had captured the
Hearts of all Gods and Goddess, what to say of humans on earth
She thought and thought and found that she can only normalize
If she can hear the songs of the boatman
Singing in full throated ease on earth
The echo's of which were hovering in her mind like clouds
And twisting her heart to see that singer sublime

She worked at a boozy ballroom, dancing for 10 cents a dance
Barely enough to eat and pay her rent in a rundown seedy hotel
So young, so alone raised by no one but herself
Oh, she had parents, but they didn't see her, didn't know or love her
She married the first guy who came along just to get away from home
But he abused her - used her, then left her all alone
Twenty two years old-
Alone, with two small children to care for
She needed someone…
Someone who would hold her - touch her tenderly with his heart
Someone to love her- love her children
Her brown eyes wishing, hoping - looking for love in stranger's faces
Dancing for 10 cents a dance under shimmering ballroom lights
Swaying to and fro through dreamed filled hopes
With her closed eyes, she pretended as she danced
Fantasizing that he might be the one to save her- love her
When the music started she was in another world
Wishing he'd sweep her off her feet, take her away
So she could live like a lady and die like a flowering rose when her last petals fell
In the arms of one she imagines will be hers once and for all
To whisper velvet words of comfort as their feet grazed the floor
Under the melodic grace of the violins she pretended…
Hoping to find her hero, someone who'll give her a chance
Just...for 10 cents a dance

text: GATV 5003 electrical power was exhausted during the 10th day of orbit and the vehicle could no longer be controlled. Before that, however, all attitude control gas was vented overboard to preclude errant thruster malfunction, and the vehicle was placed into a 220-nautical mile circular decay orbit, one of the secondary objectives of the Gemini VIII mission. This would put GATV 5003 low enough during the Gemini X mission to be inspected by the astronauts.

George Cummins, Extension Field Agronomist, Northeast Area
Kapil Arora, Field Specialist-Ag Engineering, Central Area; Greg Brenneman, Field Specialist-Ag Engineering, Southeast Area; and Matt Helmers, Faculty, Ag & Biosystems Engineering
Problem Statement:
Agricultural farm drainage is becoming increasingly important due to the critical role it plays for Iowas emerging bio-economy. Drainage systems that are properly designed and operating are essential to achieving excellent agricultural production capability. People looking to install a new drainage system or retrofit an existing system need to be trained on drainage design concepts, economics of drainage, water management, and legal issues related to drainage.
Programmatic Response:
Iowa State University Extension, in collaboration with University of Minnesota Extension, Natural Resource Conservation Service, and the Iowa Drainage District Association, delivered a three-day Iowa Drainage School. The school trained participants on sub-surface drainage concepts, the design and layout of drainage systems, calculating line sizes and spacing using actual field data, making connections and setting up drainage control structures, and review of NRCS and IDDA regulatory considerations for sub-surface drainage.
Twenty seven participants worked through the hands-on school and 22 complete evaluations were received. All participants completing evaluations rated the program good or excellent. Over 90% of participants rated different topics covered in the school to be good or excellent for their use. All participants, when asked what they learned from the school and how they will use it, indicated that the school helped them to better understand drainage design concepts. Individual topics of learning varied between basics of surveying, creating the topographic map, how to establish elevations and use that information to design a tile line, drainage control device can be used on farm pond, what not to do on connections, etc. In responding to the question which method of drainage design learned in the school will you adopt in your operation/work, 63% of the participants indicated that they will use drainage slide rules, 32% indicated that they will use computer aided design, and the remaining indicted using design equations and nomographs. When asked how the knowledge gained in the school will be applied, individual comments included: To better serve customers and build smart systems, Will be helping to design drainage. Will be better able to work with contractors, Better able to layout system and sell my product and service, The knowledge I learned will help in the drainage design I will use on my own bottom line, make more money, Better communications with drainage contractor and land renters. Better understanding, etc.

VANDALIA – Seventh-grader Trevor Smalls set a Jr. Mid-State Conference record by clearing 5 feet, 6 inches in the high jump at Tuesday's JMSC Championships.
He also placed first in the 200-meter dash and second in the 100-meter dash to help Vandalia to a second-place finish.
Other conference champions were: Devon Little (110-meter hurdles and 800-meter run) and Blake Barth (400-meter dash).
VANDALIA – Senior day was a special one for Vandalia's Megan Godoyo.
Godoyo – one of four seniors – struck out a career-high 15 batters and allowed just one hit on Monday in Vandalia's 9-2 win against Ramsey in the first game of a doubleheader.
Godoyo expanded the strike zone, getting almost all of Ramsey's hitters to swing at high pitches out of the zone, and at one point, struck out seven straight batters
BEECHER CITY – St. Elmo/Brownstown cost Mulberry Grove a share of the Egyptian-Illini Conference regular-season championship with a win in April.
But last Saturday, the Lady Aces wouldn't be denied the EIC Tournament title.
Seniors Breann Tompkins and Josie Koontz had four hits, and Mulberry Grove scored multiple runs in three innings to beat SEB, 9-0, a stark contrast to a 9-7 loss to the Lady Eagles in April.
BEECHER CITY – After a monster season in Egyptian-Illini Conference games, Mulberry Grove senior Kate Jolliff took home conference Most Valuable Player honors for the second straight season.
Jolliff hit .500 (8-for-16) as the Lady Aces went 3-1 in EIC games, hitting three home runs, one triple and one double while scoring 10 times, and received MVP honors after leading her team to the championship at last Saturday's EIC Tournament.
Vandalia baseball coach Luke Hohlt has resigned from his duties at Vandalia Community High School, effective at the end of the school year.
Hohlt will pursue an opportunity with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes as the All-South Illinois area representative, which will allow him to interact with athletes and coaches in 11 counties.
Hohlt, who has been the head coach of the baseball team for the past seven seasons and also serves as a guidance counselor, will continue coaching the Vandals through the end of the season.
The Lady Vandals set two school records and two freshman/sophomore conference records last Saturday at Gillespie, leading Vandalia to a fourth-place finish at the freshman/sophomore South Central Conference Championships.
Sophomore Jalea Paslay placed first in the 800-meter run, setting a school and a meet record with a time of 2:24.12. The previous school record was held by Ashley Durbin, who in 2009 finished the race in 2:28.45.
No area baseball team has a No. 1 seed in its regional tournament, but there will be three teams fighting to make the title game in one tournament and Vandalia will have a first-round home game.
Vandalia Regional
The Vandals will host the play-in game next Monday after earning the No. 4 seed over fifth-seeded Pana. Vandalia swept the season series, with 1-0 and 6-2 victories.
Pana's hitters struck out a combined 21 times in 15 innings in those games, and junior Collin Nestleroad is 5-for-8 against the Panthers this season.
Two area softball teams will have to play into their own regionals, and two other teams have No. 3 seeds.
The fifth-seeded Lady Vandals will travel to No. 4 Wesclin on Monday for the play-in game to the Vandalia Regional.
Wesclin, No. 1 Greenville, No. 2 Breese Central and No. 3 Carlyle are all a few games over .500, and if the Lady Vandals get on a hot streak, they could surprise.
BEECHER CITY – St. Elmo/Brownstown coach Megan Burrus was hoping for a repeat of the season-opening Fairfield Tournament after her team surrendered four runs in the top of the first inning of the championship game at last Saturday's Egyptian-Illini Conference Tournament.
After playing at 11 a.m., the Lady Eagles didn't take the field again until more than three hours had passed on a hot and sunny day, and were shut out by Mulberry Grove, 9-0.
BEECHER CITY – With the temperature in the mid-80s and already having thrown a couple of innings in relief in the semifinals, it was understandable that Ramsey senior Whitney Moreland was a bit tired toward the end of the third-place game of last Saturday's Egyptian-Illini Conference Tournament.
But with an adjustment to the pitches she threw, her tired arm never became an issue.
