NIU carried a 9-8 lead into the top of the ninth inning versus Dayton but fell to the Flyers, 13-9. Jeff Zimmerman tallied three home runs and four RBI in games against ASU and DU. As a team the Huskies totaled five home runs and 10 stolen bases.NO ONE SAID IT'D BE EASYNorthern Illinois is currently 2-12 to start the season, with four of its losses against nationally-ranked teams. In the season-opening series at Tennessee, the Volunteers were receiving votes in most of the nation's polls. Texas Tech was receiving votes in the first two contests with the Huskies, but cracked the top-25 for the first time since 2005 for the final game. Arizona State and Oregon State have been ranked all of 2012.THE TORTOISE AND THE HAREIt's a common tale for team's in the Midwest to start slow and end fast. The Huskies are living proof of that with their month-by-month record under Head Coach Ed Mathey. Below is the breakdown of NIU baseball month-by-month and year-by-year under the Huskie skipper.YEAR FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY OVERALL (MAC Division)2003 1-2 12-7 11-8 10-7 34-24 (3rd West)*2004 4-2 8-9 9-9 10-8 31-28 (t-2nd West)*2005 0-3 6-10 5-14-1 5-9 16-36-1 (6th West)2006 2-4 8-9 11-10 3-8 24-31(6th West)2007 1-2 12-7 9-9 12-6 34-24 (3rd West)*2008 0-2 9-12 11-7 8-5 28-26 (2nd West)*2009 2-5 8-9 5-14 4-6 19-34 (5th West)2010 0-6 8-9 9-9 7-7 24-31 (5th West)2011 0-6 7-7 13-6 10-7 30-27 (t-2nd West)*2012 0-7 2-5 ??? ??? ??? TOTALS 10-39 80-84 83-86-1 69-63 242-273-1* - Indicates team qualified for the MAC TournamentTHE UBIQUITOUS ONEIt may just be a fancier word for utility man, but sophomore Alex Klonowski is ubiquitous on the diamond for Northern Illinois. In his 13 starts this season, the Kearney, Mo. native has started five different positions (2B, SS, 3B, RF, LF) and has made four relief appearances on the mound. In the field he has comitted one error and at the plate is batting .273 and leads the Huskies in RBI (eight) and doubles (four) this season. In his 4.1 innings of work, Klonowski is 1-0, has struck out 10 batters and has allowed five walks.ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, I CAN DO BETTERNorthern Illinois has had the defensive edge over its opponents this season comitting four fewer errors this year than its opponents, 25-21. The Huskies have played four errorless games this season, two of which were against nationally ranked teams (No. 11 Arizona State, No. 24 Texas Tech).THE WRAP SHEETBelow is the Huskies all-time record against the Billikens. SLU owns a 10-7-1 edge.Saint Louis NIU trails SLU, 7-10-1 4/21/67 L 6-3 3/10/91 L 19-24/21/67 T 2-2 3/24/92 L 5-34/21/67 T 2-2 3/24/92 L 7-64/11/69 W 8-7 4/6/93 L 5-34/12/69 L 4-1 4/6/93 W 4-14/12/69 L 2-1 3/1/03 W 6-1 5/11/71 W 5-4 3/10/09 L 13-25/11/71 W 4-3 3/11/09 L 7-24/11/72 W 9-2 3/16/11 W 7-3 THE GLUE THAT BINDS BEHIND THE PLATESenior Brett Frantini was selected to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List March 7, awarded to the nation's top-Division I catcher. So far in 2012 the Minooka, Ill. native has thrown out five runners attempting to steal base and has knocked in three RBI with two doubles and one run scored on five hits. Past recipients of the award include the Oakland A's Kurt Suzuki and the San Francisco Giants Buster Posey.WHITE HITS THE BIG APPLESenior Troy White missed the final two games of the Coca Cola Classic against St. Mary's (Calif.) and No. 24 Oregon State as he went to New York City for The Jackie Robinson Foundation Awards Dinner. White is a Jackie Robinson Foundation Scholar and candidate for the 2012 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.The event was held at the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in Manhatten and featured Bill Cosby as the Master of Ceremonies and honored former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and Academy Award winner Rita Moreno for their humanitarian efforts and lifetime acheivements, respectively.THE PRIDE OF VERONA, WISCONSINFreshman Ben Neumann made his Northern Illinois debut in the top of the eighth inning against Dayton March 11, facing only one batter, but forced the lead out inning when A.J. Ryan grounded out to Troy White. Junior Zach Badgley came in for the left-hander from Verona, Wis. to close the inning.TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BADMeatloaf might have sang the song in in 1977, but junior Jordan Rishavy echoed the track last weekend at the Riverview Inn Challenge when he knocked in the winning runs against Austin Peay and Arkansas State. Rishavy hit a two run double against the Governors in the top of the 10th inning and drove in the winning run versus the Red Wolves on a fielder's choice in the eighth.FINDING HIS STROKESophomore Jeff Zimmerman, the MAC's Freshman of the Year in 2011 and a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American, found his stroke last weekend in Clarkville, Tenn., belting a home run against Arkansas State and two versus Dayton. Zimmerman currently has three this season and accounted for 11 last year.THE KINGS OF CRASHSenior Alex Jones and sophomore Jeff Zimmerman each hit a home run in the fourth inning against Dayton March 11, as part of an eight run inning by Northern Illinois. The Huskies had not had two players hit a home run in the same inning in nearly two years. Dave Reynolds and Brian Smith, in successive at-bats nonetheless, each homered against UW-Milwaukee at Miller Park May 18, 2010.CLUTCH CARGOSophomore Joe Battaglia had a big afternoon March 10th in only seventh career start behind the plate against Arkansas State, finishing 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI. In the seventh inning, the Westchester, Ill. native battled 10 pitches, before sending the 11th over the left field fence. The following inning he singled to right field to drive in the Huskies first of two runs in the inning. Battaglia is batting .214 (3-for-14) and has three RBI, one home run and three runs scored.HUSKIES TRIO NAMED ALL-TOURNAMENT IN CLARKSVILLESeniors Tom Barry and Alex Jones, along with sophomore Jeff Zimmerman were named to the Riverview Inn Challenge All-Tournament team announced late Sunday night. Barry pitched 6.1 innings against Austin Peay, striking out five batters and only allowing three hits. Jones (shortstop) batted .400 (6-for-15) with a double, one home run, two RBI and three runs scored, while Zimmerman (utility) was 4-for-13 (.308) with three home runs, four RBI and four runs.LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVINGEntering the game March 2 versus No. 11 Arizona State, senior pitcher Jake Hermsen carried an ERA of 19.06. Hermsen added another bullett to his NIU pitching resume as he went a career-high 7.2 innings and hurled eight strikeouts and only three walks at the Coca Cola Classic. He kept the Huskies in the game, who were tied with the Sun Devils in the bottom of the ninth, 3-3. Hermsen was two strikeouts shy of matching his career-high in fanned batters, a mark he set against Iowa April 21, 2010. ROCK SOLID IN THE PENRedshirt junior Zach Badgley has been solid for the Huskies in his five relief appearances in 2012. The McHenry, Ill. native leads Northern Illinois in ERA with a 2.57 mark in seven innings and has only allowed five hits, three walks and two runs. He surrendered the two runs in his last outing against St. Mary's (Calif.) on March 3.CLASS, CLASS, CLASSThe NIU coaches will tell you that senior Troy White is a classy guy and apparently they aren't the only ones. The selection committee for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, an honor annually given to the Division I senior baseball player who excels on and off the field, selected White as 1-of-30 candidates for the prestigious award. See back of notes for more information.KLONOWSKI, MANVILLE NAMED TO ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAMSophomore Alex Klonowski and senior Tony Manville were both named to the Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic All-Tournament Team for their performance over the weekend. St. John's had two selections on the team, while host school Texas Tech earned 10 honors. Klonowski, a native of Kearney, Mo., was the second basemen of the tournament, batting 5-for-19 (.263) with 4 RBI and two runs scored in four starts. Defensively, Klonowski did not commit an error while playing at shortstop, second base, right field or on the mound. Manville pitched seven innings on the mound against No. 24 Texas Tech, surrendering five hits, two walks and one earned run. He also struck out one batter in his 27 batters faced. PINCH-HITTING HEROESThe Huskies are batting an impressive .545 (6-for-11) in pinch hitting situations with freshman Micah McCulloch leading the way with three hits in four pinch-hit situations (.750). He has accounted for two doubles in that stretch, including one that tied the Huskies with No. 18 St. John's at the Brooks Wallace Memorial Challenge in Lubbock, Texas Feb. 25 in the ninth inning. Chris Divarco, Jordan Huffman and Michael Kane have also contributed a hit to the Huskies pinch-hitting annals.GUNSLINGER BEHIND THE PLATESenior Brett Frantini has thrown out five runners attempting to steal bases in his 12-starts behind home plate in 2012. He threw out one runner in the third inning against No. 24 Texas Tech Feb. 27 and accounted for two against the Red Raiders Feb. 26. He also threw out one runner in the season-opener at Tennessee (Feb. 17) and another against No. 24 Oregon State March 4.GRIND-IT-OUT TO GET-IT-DONENorthern Illinois senior Tony Manville has been a grind-it-out to get-it-done kind of pitcher, keeping NIU within winning's distance in 2012. Capturing his first win of the season March 10 versus Arkansas State, Manville pitched 7.1 innings, allowing 10 hits, four runs, three strikeouts and only one walk. Feb. 27 versus Texas Tech, he pitched seven innings and only allowed one run on five hits and two walks and accounted for a strikeout. In 2011, the Huskies outscored their opponents 148-136 with the New Lenox, Ill. native on the mound.THIEVERYNormally, stealing from another would be frowned upon. But in baseball, its ok. Junior Jamison Wells currently has nine stolen bases this season and racked up 27 for the Huskies last season, tying for the third most in a single season in program history. In his career Wells has accrued 48 stolen bases, good enough for fifth all-time, in 108 career appearances. Alvin Maynard (1979-80) holds the NIU career record (71) and single-season record (41). He is five stolen bases behind No. 2 all-time.IF YOU GIVE IT TO US, WE'LL TAKE ITA major contributor to the Huskies big comeback against St. John's, was the fact that the Red Storm committed five errors in the contest. So far in 2012, opponents have accrued 13 errors to the Huskies 12 in seven games.SCOUTING THE BILLIKENSSaint Louis is 11-5 this season and has won 10 of its last 12 games, including four-straight. Last weekend the Billikens hosted North Dakota and outscored the Fighting Sioux 27-3. Saint Louis, like Northern Illinois, opened the month at the Coca Cola Classic in Surprise Ariz., where it finished 2-2. SLU defeated St. Mary's (Calif.), 2-2, and Winthrop, 6-2, and lost to nationally-ranked Arizona State and Oregon State.Alex Alemann has been the ace in the hole for SLU with a 3-0 record and a 0.31 ERA, including 27 strikeouts. Alemann has pitched two complete games this season and has one shutout to his credit. At the plate, Saint Louis has three players batting over .400 in Marco Diroma (.552), Alex Kelly (.424) and Steve Fernandez (.418). Five players have 10-or-more RBI this season, including 18 by Fernandez.WHAT IS A BILLIKEN?The Billiken is a symbol of good luck that was a national craze in the early 1900s. In 1908, Florence Pretz, an art teacher, received a patent for her version of an ancient Asian figure. Later, the Billiken Co. of Chicago adopted the likeness, giving it its eventual name. Manufactured as a bank and statuette, the Billiken reached its peak of popularity in 1911.It became associated with SLU at the height of Billikenmania and can be traced back to sportswriters who thought the SLU football coach, John Bender, bore a striking resemblance to the impish creature. One sportswriter drew a cartoon of Bender as a Billiken, posted it in a drugstore window and dubbed the football team "Bender's Billikens." The public took up the name, and it soon became the official nickname of all SLU teams.(copied from SLU.edu)

A 27-year-old Youngstown woman will appear in court today to answer to charges stemming from a shoplifting that ended with a store employee taking a knee to the groin.
Tavia M. Sinkfield is charged with assault, obstructing official business, child endangering and two counts of robbery, and is set for arraignment today in Mahoning County Area Court here. She also was issued a citation for marijuana possession.
Sinkfield is accused of trying to shoplift about $90 worth of clothing from Kmart on U.S. Route 224 on Thursday.
Store employees told police Sinkfield took items into the fitting room with her 4-year-old son, and once she exited, her purse looked bigger, and employees allege they later saw her hide a pair of jeans in her coat, according to reports.
When Sinkfield did not pay for the items, two store employees asked her to stop and then said she rammed her shopping cart into a 77-year-old woman in front of her in her attempt to leave, police said.
She then kneed one of the store employees in the groin after the employee approached her. She punched a second approaching employee, who tried to grab her coat, in the mouth, reports stated.
The female customer and two employees declined medical treatment, police said.
Sinkfield was charged with obstructing official business after giving police the wrong name, records show. She was issued the drug citation after officers found suspected marijuana in her purse.
Boardman police Capt. Donald Hawkins said the number of shoplifting cases has spiked this holiday season.
From Nov. 21 to Dec. 3, Boardman police charged 21 people, including juveniles, with theft relating to shoplifting cases.
Police took an additional four shoplifting incident reports from township retailers.
"It's tying the detective division up. The major stores ... have their own loss-prevention officers who help make arrests. Smaller stores don't," Hawkins said.
Shoplifting usually results in a mis- demeanor theft charge, but if the value of stolen merchandise is more than $1,000, it becomes a felony.
If force is used in a theft, no matter the value of merchandise, it usually is charged as a robbery, Hawkins said.
A robbery charge "almost always happens when [shoplifters] have been confronted, and someone tries to apprehend them," Hawkins said.
During a shoplifting arrest, patrol officers go the retailer, file paperwork and if applicable, officers will make an arrest, drive to the township police station for booking and then take suspects to Mahoning County jail in Youngstown.
"You can only imagine the time if we have a lot of these cases," Hawkins said.
"... These cases are caused by two things: poverty and usually drug addiction."
There ya go...be sure to ride the WRTA today!
Tavia , sticking it to the man
JMHO you lost the election! Deal with it and stick to the subject matter!
fcb, you are just entirely too sensitive today! Are you just mad cause you not be gettin your stuff!
Hella, are you saying we should just let anyone who had shoplifted walk out of the store? If that happens you may as well layoff all retail employees and have an open door policy. Not to mention you will have to pay more, no matter where you shop since Kmart is beneath you, for anything you buy. Remember the Home Depot hoopla? People were outraged that the thief was allowed to walk out and an employee direct for interfering. Can't have it both ways.
*fired for interfering...
HellBB You have to be a liberal who believes that everyone deserves whatever they can shoplift. Is that right?
fcb The WHOLE country lost in this past election. Just wait and see !!!!!!!!!
HellaBB, you display your ignorance when you say KMart won't cover the expense. In fact, it absolutely must pay for medical expenses and lost wages incurred due to time off the job. The injuries suffered by the two employees in question were sustained in the course and scope of their employment, and, therefore, covered by Workers Comp.

Sunday's 'Once Upon A Time' had Prince Charming face his ultimate fear and he may have given Zelena the upper hand by bravely overcoming the thing that scares him the most: failing as a father.
Let's face it, parents can screw their kids up in all sorts of ways and 'OUAT' has provided several extreme examples of how much damage bad parents can cause. One could easily argue that Rumple, Regina, and now Zelena all turned to the dark side because of their parents' failures. Snow and Charming saw how much they hurt Emma by doing the right thing and sending her away. It has taken a long time for Emma to forgive her parents and embrace them because they weren't around to raise her. Luckily the Charming family lineage seems destined to do good in the world and save people, so she did not stray into darkness. Nonetheless, David hasn't had much experience being a father, so he can't shake this feeling of dread and he's afraid of failing his second born.
Although "The Tower" is not one of my favorite episodes, it does set the stage for more juicy storylines that will unfold in the weeks ahead. Time to dive in!
Fairytale Land, Nine Months Ago: "I can't escape this feeling of dread…"
Prince Charming is having nasty nightmares. The episode begins with David in the middle of an unsettling dream. He is in Emma's nursery, she appears to him full grown in a beautiful ball gown and she asks him to teach her how to dance. As she catches on with ease, he says she's a natural just like her mother. Then he admits, "This is everything I ever hoped for you." She quips back, "Me too. It's a shame I never got it." Oh burn! David awakes, completely shaken, but he hides his distress from Snow, which is good because she has some big news.
Snow White is pregnant! (Am I the only one who was annoyed that Snow so obviously looked totally pregnant when she first broke the news to David? All I'm asking for are tighter above the baby bump flashback shots until Snow is supposed to be completely showing.) David is excited and worried. He wears a brave face in front of Snow, but he spills the beans during a little man-chat with Robin Hood.
Robin sees David in the stables. Regina paid him with gold tipped arrows after he helped her break into her castle. I guess Regina didn't want to owe him any favors. Robin says he's sticking around because the castle is a safer place to raise his little boy. One mention of the kid and David's walls break down. He expresses his fear of failing as a father and tells Robin that he can't escape this feeling of dread. The creepy nightmares aren't helping much either. Robin understands and offers a scared-y cat cure-all. Friar Tuck spoke of Night Root, a plant that helps you overcome your fears. The root is easily identified by sparkly flecks that twinkle like stars. He also warns Charming that the forest in which the rare root grows is known to be haunted. But Charming ain't scared of no ghost, so he valiantly ventures into the woods to ward off the thing that frightens him most: being a bad dad.
When Charming gets the root he hears a damsel in distress yelling from a nearby tower. He scales the tower with the help of Rapunzel's long locks and we get the low-down on 'OUAT's' new princess. Rapunzel had an older brother who was next line to be king and rule their kingdom. Unfortunately, he died saving his sister's life. Ever since, Rapunzel has been afraid of failing her parents and kingdom by being a bad leader. She left her kingdom to get the Night Root and overcome her fears. Although Rapunzel ate the root, she still hasn't been able to overcome her fears. She has been trapped in the tower and continues to be tormented by a creepy cloaked witch.
Suddenly the shrouded witch appears and David fearlessly fights to protect Rapunzel. During their scuffle, David realizes the cloaked witch is actually a manifestation of Rapunzel's fear and looks just like the tortured princess. All this time, Rapunzel just needed to face herself in order to overcome her fears. She is the only one holding herself back. With a little extra encouragement from Charming, Rapunzel overcomes her fear, defeats her cloaked double and accompanies David back to the castle where she happily reunites with her parents.
Fast forward nine months later and we realize that David is still battling the same inner demons.
Storybrooke, Present Day: "Frustration can be intoxicating."
The gang rallies together to figure out their next move in identifying the Wicked Witch. Hook has fun teasing that Neal could be a flying monkey, once again proving that he is the most reliable candidate for winning Emma's affections. Once Emma puts a stop to his adorable shenanigans, they plan their next move. Emma, David and Hook re-examine the crime scene for clues, while Regina keeps her play-date with Henry and shows him around town.
Elsewhere in Storybrooke, Zelena messes with Rumple's head. She has possession of the Dark One's dagger (oh no!) and she taunts him with it saying, "Frustration can be intoxicating." Rumple is clearly at his wits' end and has reached the peak of his creepiness. He frantically spins straw into gold and eerily chants in his signature sing-song tone, "All the voices in my head will be quite when I'm dead." So Rumple is either legitimately losing his mind in that cage or he is gearing up for an insanity plea when he gives Zelena her comeuppance. As if things aren't disturbing enough, Zelena pulls up a chair and literally gets in Rumple's face.
Zelena identifies with Rumple and understands his struggles in Storybrooke. While shaving Rumple's face with the Dark One's dagger, Zelena talks about her father. She says he was a drunk, but even at his worst, he believed in looking his best. He taught Zelena the importance of keeping up appearances. Zelena uses this to relate to Rumple. She has come to realize that in Storybrooke, they must hide how they truly feel on the inside by putting on a brave face. Back in Fairy Tale Land, both of their faces reflected their rotting insides. Once his face has been shaved smooth, Zelena teases that she has big plans for Rumple. Dun, dun, dun.
Isn't it interesting that Zelena discusses her troubled past with her failure of a father and highlights the similarity of unnatural skin-tone she shares with Rumple? Zelena is a master manipulator, a trait I'm sure she gets from her mother. After this disturbing chat, I still believe that Rumple could very likely be Zelena's father. We already know she has major issues with Cora for abandoning her and championing Regina. Now she speaks of her father and strives to find a source of commonality with Rumple, another person who rejected her in the past. They aren't many fairytale characters who have strangely pigmented skin, so I can't help but think it is hereditary. There has also been a lot of emphasis on blood spells, which makes me wonder if Zelena used a blood spell to track down Rumple's dagger. How else could she have found it and freed Rumple from wherever he was trapped?
Zelena leaves Rumple to stew in his little cage and returns to town to carry on with her scheme. She stops by Mr. Gold's shop and immediately toys with Belle by asking if she is Mrs. Gold. Zelena plays the naïve newcomer so well and asks for Belle's help in finding a gift for Snow and Charming because she wants to make a good impression. As soon as Belle turns her back, Zelena freezes her and removes a chunk of Night Root from Rumple's safe. Once she has what she really came for, she carries on with her façade.
Over at Regina's office, Hook, Emma and David find a clue. They see traces of holly berry, which can be found in the bushes near the toll bridge. Just as they are about to head out and track down their lead, Mary Margaret calls David to come home and meet their new midwife, Zelena. David reluctantly leaves, while Hook and Emma track down Zelena's ironic hide out.
When David arrives at the apartment, Snow has been candidly expressing her concerns with Zelena. (Pet peeve: Why is Snow so nervous about having this baby? She gave birth to Emma thirty years ago in what could be considered the Middle Ages, especially compared to the technology they have now in Storybrooke. It is really bugging me that Snow is acting like this the first time she is having a baby. Does she really need to rely on Zelena so much? Why is she so trusting? Has Zelena done something to her or is Snow just blinded by her excessive optimism?)
Snow offers to make some tea, but Zelena insists on doing it since that will be her job. While she doses David's tea with the Night Root, David voices his concerns over Zelena. Mary Margaret trusts her because Zelena said she worked with Snow's beloved nanny, Johanna. David is still weary, but he wants to make Snow happy, so he goes with the flow. As they toast to their new baby, David takes a sip of the spiked tea. As he drinks, Zelena probes to see if David has any qualms about the new baby, but he puts on a brave face and Zelena acts impressed by his courage. After a brief chat, Mary Margaret lets David go and join the others in their hot pursuit. Once again Zelena comments on Charming's fearlessness. As expected, David's valor is about be tested.
During David's journey through the woods, he is challenged by a cloaked figure, just like the "witch" that haunted Rapunzel. He confronts the stranger and unveils his doppelganger. Just like Rapunzel, David must overcome his own fear, this time by defeating it in a duel. After a bit of swordplay, David stabs his Night Root induced baritone alter-ego with his broken sword. Once his fear vanishes, the sword evaporates in a cloud of green smoke. With yet another obstacle overcome, David makes his way to Hook and Emma who have tracked the holly berry back to a farm house.
Emma cleverly provides the voice of reason and speaks on behalf of the audience during times like this. The Wicked Witch is ironically hiding in a farm house riddled with little nods to 'Oz,' like a bike with a basket resting on the porch. While scanning the land, Hook and Emma share another moment loaded with hope for Captain Swan fans. Emma is tired of Hook mocking her life in New York and her relationship with Walsh. It all felt real and she truly loved him. Emma admits to Hook that she seriously considered accepting Walsh's proposal. Once she drank that potion and saw Walsh for what he really was, Emma felt heart broken. It is going to take time to get over it. Hook is pleased to hear this and explains how her heartbreak gives him hope: "If it can be broken, that means it still works." Oh Hook, if only you knew how you manage to woo us all when Emma rejects your cheeky advances. Moving on…
Hook and Emma find a locked storm cellar. Emma is ready to break in, but Hook wants to be cautious and call in magical back-up. He clarifies that he is acting out of strategy rather than fear. So Emma calls Regina, who has spent an illuminating day with Henry.
While eating ice cream and walking through Storybrooke, Henry opens up to Regina. He thinks Emma pulled him out of school and brought him to this town because she wanted to get out of New York City. He admits he kind of liked the idea of adding another member to their little family of two. Regina sweetly assures Henry that he'll soon have a larger family than he ever imagined. Given all the crazy drama in this episode, this scene provides a sweet, heartwarming break from all the creepiness and schemes. Unfortunately, it doesn't last for long.
As the episode ends, Regina, Emma, Hook and David all reunite in front of the cellar door. David tells them about his strange victory over his fear in the woods. When he describes what happened to his sword, Regina says that David's courage transferred into his sword and it is now in the witch's possession. Sure enough we see the sword make its way into Zelena's purse. How will having David's courage help her? Will she have some kind of hold over him now? Does it make her more courageous? Can she use the sword to cripple David with fear? Whatever the case may be, this definitely is not good.
They open the cellar door and as they walk inside, Regina says she can feel the presence of magic. They find the empty cage and notice a strand of gold straw on the floor. They know that Rumple is back in Storybrooke.
It is definitely a relief to have the gang know Rumple is alive and in town. I'm sure Belle will be ecstatic when she hears the news, so will Neal, wherever he is.

Another Rija Short StoryIt was a faint memory, one of a tall, strong, dark-skinned man. However, he could not see the man's face no matter how many times the man lifted him high in the air, causing Rija to giggle and smile. He could see his mother's face, her warn and comforting smile, directed at both him and the man. Rija liked this place. It was warm and friendly, with two people who loved him dearly. Though he really wished he could see the man's face so he could know why his mother also smiled at the man. Try as he might, he couldn't see the man's face. The more he tried, it became more difficult to see and then the man was becoming father away. Rija couldn't chase after him and that warm, friendly feeling was leaving as well. The sadness hidden behind his mothers's smiles became greater. The place became scary with all the noise and mean people towering over him. He was panicking, wanting to hide, but they were everywhere. Rija ran to his mother, but before he could reach her everything was stripped awaAnother Rija Short Storyin My Art More Like This

Young voters who cannot exercise their franchise, as candidates in their constituencies are likely to be declared uncontested, expressed their frustration.
The Election Commission is likely to announce names of 153 candidates winning the upcoming 10th national parliamentary election unopposed as those seats have single contestants.
As the main opposition BNP and some other parties are not taking part in the January 5 election, a total of 153 candidates have no competitors and consequently 48,103,069 voters cannot exercise their franchises this time.
According to the EC data, a total of 10,908,974 people have been enrolled as voters after 2008. Of them, 6,957,946 were youths only in the year of 2012-2013. The total number of voters in the country currently stands at 91,965,977.
As many as 389 candidates will contest for 147 constituencies while 43,862,908 voters will enjoy their rights to vote. In the ninth parliamentary national election of 2008, a total of 70,012,191 votes were cast including 381,924 "no votes."
The youths of the country played a significant role in electing the government in 2008. Such contribution of the youth was also addressed in the 2014 election manifesto of the Awami League.
EC Assistant Secretary Syed Rashed told the Dhaka Tribune: "Around 40 lakh young voters will be able to cast their votes. But, around 60 lakh first-time voters particularly the youths, however, will not be able to cast their votes as the constituencies have single candidates."
When asked about his feeling, 23-year-old Sabuj from Nilphamari 2 constituency said: "I am not feeling good as I know who is going to win."
Referring to recent media reports on lawmakers who have amassed huge wealth illegally in the last five years, Osman from Chittagong 7 responded: "The same corrupt people are going to be our lawmakers for the next five years in most of these 153 seats. The frustrating part is that we are not even given the chance to show them that we do not want them."
Many young voters also said they were uncertain about polls in their constituencies.
SM Tareque, voter of Dhaka 7 constituency, said: "Will the election be held in my constituency? I do not even know this. I wish it were held without any untoward incidents. Things got complicated as soon as I became a voter."

Barcelona Train/Bus tickets to Pamplona
Fri, 05/11/2007 - 13:47
I wanted to buy a bus ticket online in advance, from Barcelona to Pamplona the day before the start of the Festival de Sanfermines (a/k/a July 5th); however, I have not had luck finding an efficient way to purchase a ticket ahead of time. (sorry, made an error in my first posting)
For a bus ticket I run into the problem of A) It needing to be delivered and B) You pay on delivery, not in advance.
For the train, I encounter the need of an N.I.F. Number, i.e., my Spanish ID Number. I lack one of those.
I can get a train ticket from travelocity.com and have it fedexed for about $75 USD.
It's my understanding, from what I have heard from locals in Pamplona, that it is advisable to purchase a bus or train ticket before the day of departure, to ensure that you don't run into sold out forms of transportation.
Also, I'll be heading to France after Pamplona and will do various travel in France for about a collective week and half's worth of time, should I look into a Eurorail pass?
Any help, advise, whatever you got, is much appreciated!
Mon, 05/14/2007 - 10:52#1
Okay, I went to www.renfe.es which is the website for RENFE (Spanish national passenger rail service), and tried buying a ticket from Barcelona to Pamplona on July 6. What I discovered was that the RENFE website was a bit of a mess. As you search for trains in English, it somehow reverts to the registration/log-in page in Castillian. You have to register with the site before buying a ticket, which is normal (just like Orbitz, EXpedia, etc, as well as France's SNCF), but the language of the user's preference is not constant throughout the process.
I searched the web for some info, and apparently non-nationals and non-residents of Spain should use the English log-in/registration even if you speak Castillian. Apparently, the Castillian site asks for DNI (Spanish national ID number; NIF is an individual's tax number. http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/information/id_numbers_in_spain/).
So, as you search for trains, then click on "Tiknet" to purchase the ticket you want, it takes you to a log-in/registration page in Castillian. When you get to that point, click on the box on the top right that says "English" to get to an information page in English, and then
from the menu of the left under "Sales" click on "Ticket Sales" to get to the registration/log-in page in English. Here, it simply asks for "ID number" which is probably just used for identification purposes. I found some advice on the internet suggesting to enter your passport number, minus the last digit. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g187427-i42-k836365-Help_what_is_N_I_F_needed_to_book_train_tix_w_RENFE-Spain.html
Try that, and if it doesn't work, try taking off the two last digits (because the RENFE website asked me for DNI, which is one digit shorter than NIF).
So, try this, and let us know how it works out.
If worst comes to worst, you'll just have to go the travelocity way which is worth the $75 in my opinion, if this is something you really want to do.

Model, Rocket, Thor Agena D, Thrust-Augmented
This is an approximate 1:24 scale model of the U.S. Air Force Thrust-Augmented Thor-Agena D rocket. The rocket was launched over 60 times from 1963-1968, primarily to place the highly-classified Corona photoreconnaissance satellites in orbit. It had a standard liquid-fuel Thor first stage, with three solid-fuel strap on boosters. The second stage was a liquid-fuel Agena D that carried the Corona cameras and film return capsules in its nose. This model was donated by the National Reconnaissance Office to NASM in 1996.

"Resurrection" returned with episode 2, "Unearth" and left us with even more questions. The episode aired on ABC on Sunday, March 16.
Last week Jacob returned to his parents after being gone for more than 20 years. At the end of the episode, Caleb Richards also returned from the dead. His friends and family believe he died of a heart attack out in the woods at his hunting cabin where his friend Dale found him. Caleb has no idea what happened. He remembers blacking out while driving his truck and waking up three days ago in Portland. Ray tells Marty and Maggie that he doesn't believe the man calling himself Caleb is really his dad.
Maggie stops by her dad's house to tell him about Caleb. He is baffled too. When she gets to work, Marty is waiting for her. He wants to check the DNA of whoever is buried in Jacob's tomb and he wants her help convincing the family. She agrees. They go to see Lucille and Henry together. Lucille says its fine but Henry won't permit his son's tomb to be desecrated.
Lucille opens a box with things she packed away for Jacob's but can't quite bring herself to give them to the boy and instead, takes him shopping. She takes him to the park to play with the other kids but the parents are creeped out by his presence and make their kids leave. Marty recommends using an alias and a cover story to avoid these types of incidents. Pastor Tom agrees. He goes to see the boy, obviously uncomfortable but the two end up bonding over video games.
The sheriff blocks Marty's attempts to get a court order to open Jacob's grave. Marty goes over his head and gets one anyway. Fred tells his daughter she shouldn't be helping Marty. When Marty stops by, Fred taunts him about his past but doesn't elaborate.
Caleb explains to Elaine that he sees this as a second chance to be the kind of dad he wasn't before. Maggie gives him a checkup and everything looks good except for blood tests that indicate he had a heart attack 3 days ago – the time he said he woke up in Portland. Elaine is just happy to have her dad back. She recalls placing a note in her dad's jacket at the funeral and is relieved when she doesn't find it in his jacket pocket now.
Caleb visits his old hunting cabin and while digging there, has flashes of memory about his heart attack. He keeps digging as though he's familiar with the spot. When he gets home, he finds his son, Ray snooping around his room. Caleb is relieved Ray didn't find the note hidden in his Bible – the same note Elaine had been looking for.
Maggie goes to the home of the man who had been with her mother the day she died. She asks if he's her father and he tells her no. He also tells her he didn't just abandon her at the river. He waited until someone came along and found her. When he goes back into the house, he tells someone off camera that 'Maggie has found us.'
Maggie and Marty open the tomb. It's the same one where Maggie's mom is buried. Their eyes widen at what they see.
Lucille tells Marty she's decided not to tell Jacob to lie about who he is.; she wants him to be a little boy. They see Jacob talking to Caleb and Jacob tells Marty that Caleb advised Jacob to lie, too. At the end, Caleb is seen barging into the home of a man who is terrified to see Caleb. Caleb takes out a hammer and charges at the man, screaming, "Tell me it's all gone!" Then he swings the hammer in the direction of his now off-camera target.

In an effort to help support the vegan-friendly initiatives of the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde, Live Nation is removing all meat products from local venues at next weeks area performances as well as promote an intimate pre-show veggie BBQ with WRXP 1o1.9 FM contest winners.
"I'm always surprised when I meet meat eaters," Hynde tells Scotland On Sunday. "I just think why on earth do you do that? You could put a gun to my head and say, 'If you want to live you have to eat steak', and I'd say, 'Time to go'. I don't want that kind of blood on my soul. I'm ready to go right now to be honest. I'm not saying I want to die, but I've got no further material goals. Anyway, if you haven't finished your business here you'll come back to do it. I like to think mine is finished, thanks very much."
The Pretenders, along with Cat Power and Juliette Lewis perform on August 9th at the Stone Pony Summer Stage in Asbury Park, New Jersey and August 10th at Central Park Summer Stage in New York City.

According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, "'Charlie's Angels' is an American crime drama television series that aired on ABC from September 1976 to June 1981. It plotted the adventures of three females working in a private detective agency and starred Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, and Jaclyn Smith." But it was so much more than that. Anyone of a certain generation learned about life, love, and the perils of being female from this show.
Here are just a few things one learned by camping out in front of the television on the night and watching with intensity, studiously, so we would know how to conquer the world...
What did you learn?
See my website. (Yes, I ended up being a PI, but not for Charlie)

1. Always Look Your Best
1. Always look good, no matter what the situation. it does not matter if you are wandering around the street at four a.m. because of an evil hypnosis trick, or going to Las Vegas. Looking good can help the ego tremendously.
2. Gun Safety is Important
2. Use guns safely. Gun safety is really never an issue on an "Angels" episode, unless you are a sniper. You notice snipers on "Charlie's Angels" never miss? (And no one ever bleeds from a wound) The angels swing those .38 snub-nosed magnums around as if they were fashion accessories and there is never an accidental discharge.
3. Kelly & Sabrina…?
3. People could be themselves. If something was going on between Sabrina & Kelly, no one cared. Jill never asked Bosley, "Is there something…you know…funny about those two?"They were free to be who they were and no one bullied, poked fun, or said anything snarky. And Charlie never fired them for suspecting they were that way, even in his sexist domain.
4. Prison Is Bad
4. Do not get locked up. Prison is not a good experience. There are only five officers and one warden and they are all up to something, usually sexual. Your hair and makeup may look good, and you may even look good in the clothes, but the food is bad and everyone is up to no good.
5. No "I" In "Teamwork"
5. Have your friend's back. It doesn't matter if they are a glamourous chick or a garrulous old man, you have to work together. You have to share information. You are part of the puzzle. Even if one guy is a mystery to you, but not to a hundred hussys that know where he lives.
6. All Guys Have a Chance
6. Even chunky drunk guys can score. Ever notice the Angels never flirt with a strapping, handsome stud? That is because they know everyone has something -- some bit of information needed. There is someone for everyone, after all.
7. You Will Live Through Bad Stuff
7. It may be bad, but you will get through it. Look at Kelly Garrett. She took two head shots, one by a child with a gun, and she got through it all with just a gauze patch to the head. Even when the doctor said she was "lucky to be alive." You will make it through anything.
8. You Can Do It!
8. You can do anything you desire. Kelly Garrett landed an airplane full of passengers. Jill Munroe was a roller derby queen. Sabrina Duncan was a nurse with little medical training. Kelly passed as a can-can dancer, a Vegas chorus girl, and a cocktail singer. Jill swam, surfed, and drove that Mustang Cobra. Sabrina spoke multiple languages. And they each disarmed a bomb on a luxury cruise. Never let anyone tell you your dreams are not possible!

So it turns out after nearly 20 years together that Arthur can still surprise me. Having acquired a fancy Ford F450 pick up truck last year, this year we took delivery of a bright green John Deere tractor complete with a drill combination thing on the back for planting crops. On the day one of its arrival Arthur asked for the vacuum cleaner to clean it out, then further dumbfounded me by looking through my cleaning products in search of what he needed to shine his new toy.
This amazed me because a) I didn't realise he knew I had cleaning products b) he knew what they were for and c) he didn't ask me to do it for him. His truck is also incredibly clean and frequently polished with enormous enthusiasm. We recently paid a visit to Goose Green for the Motocross and while packing Arthur informed me to take extra clothes to wear after the race, because I wouldn't be allowed in the cab of his truck if I were dirty!
So apparently its OK for him to come into MY house looking like he has just been dragged through an oil pit then rolled in a dust bowl, but I can't have a speck of dust on my clothes when entering HIS truck.
This may sound as though I'm exaggerating but it's the honest truth – in fact having asked me to drive his tractor into the garage the other day he went on to suggest I wash my hands first. It's like being a kid again; then again bearing in mind the problem I have with getting older, I actually don't mind so much.
Well the motocross was fun, Arthur had convinced me to race my Honda I must admit I wasn't keen on the idea but he won me around pointing out that even if I didn't win I'd have the opportunity to show off the new bike to my pals. As I am incredibly proud of Hondy (yes like all great things she has a name!) I decided to give it a go and Arthur took me out each night to practice with him. Well I say practice; I'm not sure how much I learned being overtaken every few minutes and covered in a cloud of dust - although I now feel confident driving my bike with my eyes closed for 10 second bursts to let the dust settle.
On reaching the event, a rather dubious KTM riding friend gave me a guide to being a motocross racer just five minutes before the race started, and other friends were quite keen to tell me how much I would enjoy it.
Well for the first ten minutes I was hating it and couldn't believe I had let myself and Hondy be subject to roaring around and around the same piece of ground. Then I noticed it was a nice day, my bike was awesome and I could practice taking corners, so I relaxed and I did enjoy it.
At the same time I am pretty sure I don't have the mental attitude necessary to become a full blown MX fan; while driving I became distracted with thoughts including wishing I had asked my old Pal to water my tomato plants and then planning what meals I was going to cook for shearing. I later loaned my bike to a friend for the expert races and was amazed to see Hondy doing things and going at speeds that I didn't think she was capable of.
After the race it was back to reality and a chance for me to put Hondy to the use she was purchased for, namely gathering sheep. Eighty-three miles later Arthur and I had successfully gathered our 8000-acre French Wreck camp using just the two bikes.
It was an enlightening day for me in so many ways; having to keep up with Arthur taught me to jump ditches that I previously wouldn't have thought myself capable of, plus I also learned how to jump off peat banks and drive at what felt like 100mph over huge grass bogs. The latter skill came in particularly handy because on my beat there was a cow with a new born calf hidden in the grass and mummy was far too interested in me for my liking, and in turn the damn sheep seemed to sense I wouldn't get too close to them if she was around and kept heading off towards her.
I also learned that I never ever want to do a gather like that again without one of us having a dog. I must have put in an extra 50 miles going back and forth behind the sheep to keep them moving. When we got all the sheep turned down onto the coast Arthur went back to get the rover and the four dogs to help us drive the sheep up to the settlement. Not sure who was the most excited when they turned up, me or Yuppy.
That bleeding cow decided to come along the fence with us for a while much to my horror a) because I am a caring farmer and was worried about her getting too far from her calf and b) and most importantly, I was terrified of her and she seemed to really like me. It just confirmed all of my past my thoughts about bovines; they really look their best to me on my plate with a little mustard on the side.

Brothers attempt to steal $1,000 fish from Independence store
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio - Two brothers were arrested overnight, after police say they attempted to steal an expensive fish from an Independence business.
An employee of William Tricker, Inc., who lives near the aquarium supplies store on Tanglewood Drive, called 911 at around 12:11 a.m. Monday, after spotting a suspicious person running from the store.
Independence police responded to the area to set-up a perimeter. Officers found the suspect walking to a getaway vehicle, with the stolen Koi fish in hand, which is worth an estimated value of $1,000 to $1,500.
Police said the suspect admitted to taking the fish, stating that Trickers would not refund his money after his fish died 29 days after he brought it.
The suspects, Fawaz Mansour, 19, and his brother Fady Mansour, 18, who was also the getaway driver, were arrested. Fawaz has been charged with criminal trespassing and felony theft. His brother, Fady, has been charged with felony theft.
The unharmed fish was returned to William Tricker, Inc., according to police.

Backyard Aquaponics - Home Aquaponics - Commercial Aquaponics
|Commercial Hydroponic Production
The Most Popular Hydroponic Crops
The most popular hydroponic crop in the US is tomatoes, followed by fancy lettuce and leaf crops, cucumbers then herbs, peppers and flowers. Ironically, there are more hydroponic produce flown into the US from Holland, Canada and Mexico than grown here. As more and more growers are established in the US, this will change. You can grow hydroponic produce at a lower cost and offer fresher, better quality.
Productivity of Commercial Systems
The productivity of commercial systems has risen dramatically in the past few years. Commercial tomato growers who once hoped to annually pick 20 pounds of tomatoes per plant are now picking as much as 35-50 pounds per plant per year.
In a 12,000 square foot greenhouse, a tomato grower can grow 4,000—5,000 pounds of tomatoes every week! Lettuce growers are picking mature heads of lettuce in under 5 weeks and, with 20,000 square feet of growing space, can produce nearly 3,000 heads per week.
The cost of establishing a commercial hydroponic greenhouse operation is quite reasonable when considering the potential profit and the intensive volume of high-quality produce that can be grown on a small lot.
The addition of new equipment such as electronic monitoring systems, nutrient dosing systems, row bed heating, CO2 generators, insect screening and retractable roof greenhouses have greatly increased the overall poundage many growers are harvesting.
In addition, new varieties of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and leafy crops that are more disease resistant and produce higher yields are now available and great advances in biological pest and disease control have been made. Commercially, Hydroponics, Aquaculture and Aquaponics can all be used to produce large quantities of food in an environmentally friendly way.

Helplessness is a major concept in depression and a major theme in preclinical and clinical depression research. For example, in rodents and humans, the learned helplessness (LH) effect describes a specific deficit in behaviour to control aversive stimuli that is induced by prior exposure to uncontrollable aversive stimuli. The LH effect is objective and valid in that the cause of the behavioural deficit, namely uncontrollability, is clear; furthermore, the deficit induced is underlain by emotional, motivational and cognitive processes that are relevant to depression psychopathology. As a further example, helplessness, hopelessness, external locus of control and causal attribution are inter-related and major themes in psychological theories (primarily cognitive theories) of depression. Despite this broad interest in helplessness, it can be argued that its potential usefulness as a scientific and clinical concept has so far not been investigated optimally, including with respect to its application in research aimed at development of improved anti-depressant pharmacotherapy. The first aim of this review was to describe and integrate the psychological evidence and the neurobiological evidence for the LH effect in rodents and healthy humans and for helplessness in depressed patients. The second aim was to conduct three systematic reviews, namely of rodent studies of the LH effect, rodent studies of effects of psychopharmacological agents on the LH effect, and human studies of efficacy of pharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic treatment on helplessness in depressed patients. With respect to the first aim, the major findings are: the specificity of the LH effect in otherwise non-manipulated rodents and healthy humans has been under-estimated, and the LH effect is a specific learned aversive uncontrollability (LAU) effect. There is theoretical and empirical support for a model in which a specific LAU effect induced by a life event of major emotional significance can function as an aetiological factor for generalised helplessness which can in turn function as an aetiological and maintenance factor for depression. However, to date such models have focused on cognitive mediating processes whereas it is emotional-motivational-cognitive processes (as proposed for the LAU effect) that need to be invoked and understood. The evidence is for analogous neural processes underlying the LAU effect in rodents and healthy humans and helplessness in depression, with the ventro-medial prefrontal cortex exhibiting aversive uncontrollability-dependent activity. With respect to the second aim, the major findings are: the LAU effect is demonstrated quite consistently using a number of different paradigms in rat but is poorly studied in mouse. The rat LAU effect can be reversed by chronic administration of monoamine reuptake inhibitors. The effects of antidepressants on human helplessness have been scarcely studied to-date. The major conclusion is that the LAU effect and generalised helplessness constitute major neuropsychological concepts of high value to future translational research aimed at increased understanding of depression and development of novel, improved antidepressant treatments.

As soon as owner Claire Fields opened her first boutique in Austin, visitors with Funky Town ties requested—no, demanded—a Fort Worth location. Now thriving on Camp Bowie Boulevard since fall, the boutique caters to stylish young things looking for clothes under $100. Get past the pink bangles and turquoise nail polish, and you'll find basics that fit both high schoolers and their moms. With prices like $52 for a camel-colored pencil skirt, tuxedo-inspired blazer, or faux leather shorts, it's a place for trying the trends. (It won't hurt so much when you discover that cat-eye sunglasses aren't for you.) Although Fields is always on the hunt for new designers to fill the racks, you can expect staples like BB Dakota ($55 to $150), Ark & Co ($38 to $85), and Flying Tomato ($32 to $75).
Milk & Honey Boutique
In June of 2011, Brittany Thomas said goodbye to Waco and her clothing store, Roots, and headed for Dallas. Lucky for us, because last October her feminine style and impeccable taste brought her new boutique, Milk & Honey, to life. Thomas was determined to offer quality, affordable clothing to Dallas women in an atmosphere that felt indulgent. Step inside and you're transported to a cozy garden patio, with walls of greenery, birch branches, and cowhide rugs. Thomas' hope is that customers will feel as if they are in a high-end store with prices they don't have to think twice about. Within the cheerful space are on-trend dresses, jackets, tops, and skirts with bold colors, interesting textures, and distinctive patterns. From bohemian sweaters to classic trousers, almost everything in the store sells for under $100, including an abundant selection of jewelry, shoes, handbags, and scarves. Don't miss the large sale section in back, where new items appear weekly.
Original Octane
Forget the former Octane of West Village. Owner Ort Varona's new Original Octane is a different animal (save for its similar name). Where old Octane was jeans and tees, the new Knox boutique is a sophisticated collection of men's and women's wear. Varona (the man behind LFT) and his expert team outfit a very specific clientele—that is, Highland Parkers and M Street dwellers looking for casual but fashionable pieces. The boutique, split into two, contains "unfussy" threads for her from Equipment ($180 to $250), Amanda Uprichard ($145 to $215), and Fluxus ($35 to $170); and dapper shirts, blazers, and pants for him from Scott James ($95 to $495) and London-based Oliver Spencer ($170 to $550). And don't miss the handpicked denim selection. You can grab a pair from Current Elliott for $170 to $250, but we recommend splurging on PRPS jeans for $245 to $465—they're worth every dime—and you can get them hemmed on the spot for free.
The only way you'll spot this mystery boutique is by catching a glimpse of its lavender front door. Once you cross the threshold into owner Merry Vose's beach-chic shop, you'll swear you're on vacation. Crisp white decor showcases the edited racks of colorful shirtdresses, skinny-leg denim, and tunics. Stylish but busy women in the know shop here for easy everyday wear, like casual NSF separates ($195 to $450), Antik Batik dresses ($320 to $695), and blouses and sweaters from Dallas-based Koch ($145 to $450). Don't miss the bright leather bracelets, strappy sandals, or chunky cocktail rings for accessorizing. It's hard to believe this exclusive shopping experience began as a backyard venture out of Vose's pool house, but the precious hours she still keeps are a clue. Doors open only Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 9 am to 2 pm. Other times and days by appointment. All that's missing is an ocean view.

Bhupathi and Bopanna will make their team debut at the season finale. The 38-year-old Bhupathi is a four-time runner-up at the event, losing in the final in 2010 (w/Mirnyi) and 1997, 99 and 2000 with Leander Paes. Bopanna, 32, made his debut at the year-end championships last year, partnering Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi. The Indian pairing joined forces this season and have compiled a 29-20 match record. They won their first title at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships (d. Fyrstenberg/Matkowski) and were runners-up at ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments in Cincinnati (l. to Lindstedt/Tecau) and Shanghai (l. to Paes/Stepanek). Seventh seeds Qureshi and Jean-Julien Rojer, who have also qualified for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, reached the semi-finals in Paris with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over second seeds Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor. The Pakistani/Dutch tandem converted two of their seven break points to prevail in 75 minutes. Qureshi and Rojer, winners of two ATP World Tour titles this season, go onto face Marin Cilic and Marcelo Melo, who beat the in-form Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares 4-6, 6-4, 10-7 in 89 minutes. Peya and Soares have won three ATP World Tour titles in their past four events, lifting the trophies in Valencia, Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur.
