At long last, I have pictures of the 2012 Central Iowa Lacrosse Association Box Lacrosse League! Presented without commentary, here are pics from the Cyclones vs Singha game on November 15, 2012. Apparently there was no photographer for the second game.
One thing I want to draw your attention to is the sick sublimated reversibles and shorts the Cyclones are wearing. The Cyclones got their new kits via Boathouse. The old school logo makes this jersey a significant improvement over previous models. I am working on getting a full spread and info.
We also managed to get some shots of last night's game between the Cyclones and Macaques. Unfortunately the camera was on the wrong setting, so the pics came out kind of dark.

While advancements in technology have changed and evolved video games by an incredible rate over the past several decades, one constant has always remained with the video game industry.
Controversial games.
While mainstream media pundits today often point toward the 1990s when discussing the start of the ongoing debate over video game content, the actual list of concerns extends all the way back to the 1970s and continued all the way through the 1980s as well.
One of Atari's earliest games, Gotcha, had controls modeled after a pair of women's breasts. Just a few years later, Exidy's Death Race created a huge stir by asking players to run over stick figures with their cars. While the instructions for the arcade game referred to the characters as 'gremlins' the media saw them as innocent pedestrians.
It continued through the 1980s as well. Games such as Shark Attack were called "morbid" while Stern's Berzerk was believed to be capable of "teaching children violent reactions" and was targeted by a lobbyist named Dr. Thomas Radecki as an example of what was wrong with video game content.
As the first golden age of video gaming continued, cartridges made with adult content appeared on the Atari Video Computer System while a Bally Midway arcade game was accused of marketing Budweiser beer to minors. Even the carefully reviewed era of the Nintendo Entertainment System was not free of reaction from parents groups and media pundits.
Take a look at the slideshow to see ten of the earliest controversial video games, ranging in release from 1973 to 1990.

The 7th Annual Jane Austen Festival, taking place the third week of July at historic Locust Grove in Louisville, will be a mix of past favorites such as afternoon tea and "Dressing Mr. Darcy" together with several new events, including an extra evening of "Twilight Shopping", featuring Kentucky-inspired food and drink for sale, plus music and entertainment under the Big Top tent.
Along with a fashion show, Shoppes of Meryton, and various Regency-era pastime demonstrations, attendees will be treated to lectures by two British authors. Professor John Mullan, University College London, will speak about his latest book, "What Matters in Jane Austen?" as well as Jo Baker, author of "Longbourn."
The Festival has become the largest Jane Austen event in North America with approximately 1,700 attending from 18 states and Canada in 2013. Attendance is expected to exceed last year's number and early registration is encouraged, including reservations for afternoon tea time. According to Regional Coordinator, Bonny Wise, the teas were sold out last year.
"The tea foods will have a Kentucky theme this year", says Wise, reached via email last week, "with mini-hot browns, a Benedictine/Pimiento cheese stack sandwich, and back by popular demand Bread Puddings with a Bourbon Caramel sauce." Bingley's Teas will again be served.
The afternoon tea, served inside the Visitors' Center will take place each day and is $20 per person.
The Festival will take place July 18 through July 20. Admission to the festival is $5 Friday only; one day pass $12, two day pass $20 and children 12 and under are free. Admission (except Friday evening) includes access to the ca. 1790 Locust Grove, a National Historic Landmark. Recently intensive research and restoration has completely changed the interior of the home to the period, 1809-1818, when Revolutionary War hero, George Rogers Clark, lived in the House.
For information about Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA), visit www.jasna.org. To purchase tickets for workshops, the ball, afternoon tea and admission, visit JASNA Greater Louisville's website page Festival Information. On-line pre-registration begins June 2nd.

The site was co-founded by Merrill Stubbs and Amanda Hesser, two women whose culinary talent can only be matched by their fine taste in food, writing, and photography.

A father from Longview, Texas was arrested on multiple charges after his 11-year-old daughter jumped from his moving car, after he smoked some synthetic weed while driving, and started acting "crazy" behind the wheel.
The News Journal reported on Feb. 25, that police received a call Sunday night about an injured girl crawling across a roadway near South High Street in Gregg County.
According to the police report:
… police found the girl near the side of a building in the area with abrasions to her face, arms, chest, legs, side, wrist and shoulders.
The girl said she injured herself in an attempt to get away from her father, 35-year-old Tazille Madison III," who was "driving crazy" after he took "something that made him crazy.""
The girl said that her father was driving erratically, swerving into oncoming traffic, and "that she felt like he was trying to kill himself and her."
The daughter jumped from the moving vehicle in an effort to save her own life. Her dad's SUV was traveling around 50 or 60 miles per hour when she jumped, according to KTRE.
Not too long after police encountered the injured 11-year-old girl, they received a report of a car wreck in the area.
When police arrived at the scene of the nearby car accident, they discovered the girl's father had rammed his Chevy Tahoe into a building. Madison was found in the wrecked Tahoe, "partially on the center console and partially in the driver's seat."
Madison got out of the SUV telling the officer over and over "they're going to kill me," and complaining about the damage to his vehicle and his insurance, according to the report.
Eventually, Madison confessed to police that while he was driving his daughter to the store, he stopped at an acquaintance's house - and that he'd "taken a couple of hits of K-2."
Madison said he had no memory of the erratic drive with his daughter, except to say that "things just went crazy" and that "it was like a dream and his daughter went out the car."
The father told the arresting officers that he didn't realize that his daughter had actually jumped out of his moving vehicle.
Madison was arrested and booked on charges of child abandonment or endangering child with bodily injury, driving without a license, and, no motor vehicle insurance.
The 11-year-old daughter was taken to Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview where she was diagnosed with facial fractures, a skull fracture, and, bleeding in her brain.
The little girl was flown to Children's Medical Center in Dallas for additional emergency treatment.
Madison was released from the Gregg County Jail on Sunday, after paying a $10,000 bond.

New Angle Grinder from Metabo More Comfortable and Safer to UseWEST CHESTER, Pa. September 2010 - Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric power tools and abrasives for industrial, construction and welding applications, has introduced the WP11-125 Quick 5" angle grinder with an ergonomic non-locking paddle switch, making it safer and more comfortable to use.
Ideal for cutting and grinding metal and concrete, Metabo's new angle grinder features a long-lasting 9.6 A motor with 1,100 watts of power, 26.9 inch-lbs of torque and a no-load speed of 10,000 rpm.
The WP11-125 Quick's toolless wheel change system makes changing wheels safe and easy, while increasing operator efficiency. Other safety features of the new grinder include a toolless Quick positioning burst-proof guard with seven positions, a spindle lock, the Metabo "S-Automatic" safety slip clutch that helps to protect the operator from tool kickback should the wheel bind or snag, and a dead-man function that immediately turns the grinder off if it is dropped.
The WP11-125 Quick's dust protection system is one of the most effective on the market. It includes an encapsulated on/off switch and auto-stop carbon brushes, double-lipped labyrinth sealed bearings, Metabo's unique dust-deflecting winding protection grid and epoxy coated field coil windings.
Weighing 5.6 lbs, this new lightweight angle grinder has a secure 'racket' grip design with dual grip zones for comfortable handling. The tool's anti-vibration, two-position side handle absorbs up to 60% of the vibration, allowing the operator to hold the tool longer, resulting in less fatigue.
An optional carrying case is available for the WP11-125.

The Xbox One may be getting a new price cut and bundle later this summer. According to a report from Softpedia on Feb. 14, an industry insider claimed that Microsoft is already planning to reduce the price of the newly-released next-generation system.
The console manufacturer could be selling the Xbox One for $399.99 without the Kinect camera in just a few months. The same bundle could also include a free video game. The insider stated that Microsoft will be waiting to see the hardware sales results over the next two months before deciding when to release the new bundle.
The NPD report for the first month of 2014 revealed that the PS4 sold twice as much as the Xbox One in the United States. Furthermore, the worldwide sales showed that Sony's new console has a healthily lead over Microsoft's product.
One of the biggest reasons for the disparities may be the price tag. The Xbox One costs $100 more than the PS4 despite being the weaker console in terms of raw graphical power. The removal of the Kinect camera should help Microsoft drop the price of the next-generation system without having to incur huge losses in the process.
The Xbox One was released on Nov. 22nd last year in select territories, including the United States, with more region-specific launches being planned for this year. You can find a slideshow with some images of the console to the left of this article.

Budgets! Yay!
I get a lot of financial questions... especially questions about gas prices, so I thought I'd post about it.
I suppose we budgeted based on the higher gas prices because that is what we had to go on at the time we planned to leave. But we also planned to leave with no certainty of where our income would come from, much less how much would be coming. You could say that we have a surplus now, but this is not really the way that things seem to work for us.
The gas prices came down (and we reduced travels) right when we needed extra cash for costly repairs and winter clothing.
Our budget is very simple: Priority number one is organic whole foods, number two is travel expenses (gas, repairs, lodging, exhibit/museum fees, etc.)
Our bills are very few, consisting mainly of insurance and internet access. Finally we make charitable donations on a percentage base (done mostly by feel and opportunity)
If there is leftover income then we put it in savings.
We have just organized our receipts for 2008 (fun!) and will be charting them to see a more clear picture of where every penny goes... very exciting, I know ;-)
We have found though, that it isn't the gas which is most difficult to budget for, but rather, the food. As we travel across the country the availability of organic whole foods fluctuates, and with that the price. In one town we might pay $150 for a week of groceries and in another a week of the same food would run us $300.
This is where adaptability comes in very handy. Sometimes I must feed the family for a week when all I can find is organic ground beef, a handful of vegetables and a grain or two. I cannot pre-plan meals or rely on a recipe box or book. I must rely on my ability to make meals of whatever food is affordable and available in each new location. It took a little practice, but after a few months of little selection I have gotten the swing of impromptu cooking, and can look at a misfit group of ingredients and make something really good that I would never have made if I'd would have had a whole store to choose from.
I once made a fried rice stir-fry from leftover steel-cut oats and it was fantastic!
How about pot roast with yogurt, mayo, mustard powder and peanut butter? It was the best roast we've ever had. ;-)
What it comes down to is that budget or no budget we make it work by knowing our priorities and remembering the difference between want and need.
And faith...there is always faith that whatever happens we will be grateful for the opportunity to learn something new, and that the love in our family does not waver under money concerns.
I have lived in shelters and grown up on food pantry food and I have lived in luxury, eating the finest food, but these things don't phase you as much when you don't attach a value judgment to them. Happiness can be cultivated in the most barren environments. When all efforts go to cultivation of that happiness then no one is want for anything and all seems to fall naturally into place.
Priorities and Balance to cultivate happiness... these seem to be my big lessons.
We try not to forget to expose ourselves to new experiences and grow by pushing our boundaries outward. Replacing fear with faith... faith in ourselves, in each other, in mankind and in the overall beauty and value of everything that happens. We usually find that that faith is then quickly replaced with experienced knowing ;-) which is a very comfortable feeling... you're boundaries stretching that is ;-)
There have been many moments that left me breathless but thinking "[If I can do that] I can do anything" and that is a belief which is so liberating and so supportive to life that, along with true self love, is the one thing I hope to pass to my children above all else.
How's that for a very long answer to a very simple question ;-)

Thank you Aimee, your words continue to inspire me.I really believe that in order to understand what we 'need' and not just 'want' we need to look INSIDE ourselves before looking elsewhere. People set so much store by what they've got/are getting that they forget to look around themselves and appreciate all the wonderful things that they do have and are constantly putting possesions before love, life and family. You dp well to remind us of this, once again, thankyou xXx

Aimee, Thank you for your explanation of the BUdGET. I retired a few days ago and my husband and I are excited about the challenge and the quest of living more simply on just his income and still save money. We have had an enormous couple of weeks but still keep the " anything can happen " in the back of our minds. Our mantra is that " happiness is not dependent on finances." Thanks for sharing your Cage Free life.

Looking forward to seeing your financial report. Its always interesting to see how others are budgeting.
I wish I had the discipline to tally our receipts daily (not that we spend money daily, but when we do). I tend to let them pile up and then go through them. I plan on posting our report in April, once we have been on the road a year.

I first saw Phil Younghusband on TV in a showbiz-oriented talk show on GMA7. To gain popularity mileage, the story this talk show concocted was that Phil, a popular football/soccer player based in England saw Rhian Ramos's photo on the internet and then got smitten, then came to the Philippines to pursue her. When Phil was being interviewed, it was obvious that the press release wasn't true–para may angle lang at mapag-usapan. Then he was almost never heard from again, until the rise of the Azkals.
When I saw Phil again (this time even more popular than Rhian Ramos), I just stared and stared on to his face NOT because I was one of the many girls with a huge crush on him, but because he reminded me so much of someone…I kept on thinking and thinking and thinking, until it hit me: tisoy version siya ni Gilbert!

However I need to create this folder, right? and why in usr/local and not in my username/local ...?
Any help would be welcome. Also if you knew a place where the usr vs myusername folder are explained easily for dumb people like me, it would be much appreciated.

San Francisco Ballet has just launched Program 2 of its 2014 season - a triple bill, featuring a World Premiere by Val Caniparoli, something fun and colorful from Alexei Ratmansky - premiered by the Company last year - and a second look, too, at the first Wayne McGregor commission for San Francisco Ballet, which had its premiere during the 2013 season.
The program opened at the War Memorial Opera House last evening with Val Caniparoli's abstract work, Tears, so named because the inspiration for this ballet comes from the notion of water being the element which connects everyone and everything in life. This concept is characterized by a quartet of men who form a visual line which connects the movements of the three couples who complete the cast.
Caniparoli's inspiration came from two sources - Steve Reich's Variations for Winds, Strings and Keyboards, which conveyed to him the feeling of waves and water - and a quote from naturalist and conservationist, John Muir: "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe". The choreographer's interpretation of this statement is that individual actions have consequences throughout the world, in the same way that water, the source of life, binds together the natural world and its inhabitants.
It's appropriate that San Francisco Ballet should be presenting the World Premiere of this work. The Company has provided Val Caniparoli with his artistic home since 1973, Steve Reich's score was commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony, and the name of John Muir will forever be linked to conservation and the preservation of the natural world in the state of California.
Moritz Moszkowski's infectiously joyful music provides the score for Alexei Ratmansky's From Foreign Lands - a lighthearted choreographic romp through Russia, Italy, Germany, Spain, Poland and Hungary. Ratmansky, San Francisco Ballet's artist in residence, has a reputation for producing creations which are fresh and young in spirit, yet this former artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet never abandons his sense of honor for the traditions and culture of ballet.
From Foreign Lands was Ratmansky's second commission for San Francisco Ballet. He chose Moszkowski's Suite for Orchestra, From Foreign Lands, because he liked the orchestration and because he felt that it lends itself to the interpretation of national dances such as the tarantella, fandango and czardas. With such danceable music, he says, "you can almost switch your brain off and just let your body do [the choreographing]".
Wayne McGregor's Borderlands has what's referred to as "an abstract yet deep connection to the work of German-American artist, Josef Albers", whom McGregor describes as "a Bauhaus-influenced artist who worked with rigorous shape and color to do amazing optical things". McGregor's own company, Random Dance, has - since 1992 - been providing audiences with new ways of thinking about dance, and in creating this work, McGregor wanted to choreograph something that would "fit the context of the work here" [at SF Ballet].
For the score, McGregor wanted something original - electronic music that would "emerge through a prolonged conversation" between dance and music. He selected the work of British composer Joel Cadbury and his collaborator Paul Stoney, whose music McGregor describes as "sonic architecture", which Cadbury - accustomed to McGregor's experimentation - agrees is a very good way of describing the score.
To get the most out of McGregor's dances, according to the program notes, "it's best to arrive at the theater as he does at the studio: ready to discover the infinite potential of dance, the body, and the human mind".
San Francisco Ballet's Triple Bill runs at the War Memorial Opera House until March 1, alternating with Program 3, so visit the Company's website for details of performances.

"My passion for PR began when I was living in New York while I was working for houses of fashion such as: Donna Karan and Dolce & Gabbana.

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
If your infant or child has been diagnosed with double outlet right ventricle (DORV), an understanding of the condition will help you to cope with this very rare congenital (present at birth) heart defect. In a double outlet right ventricle defect, the pulmonary artery and the aorta—the heart's two great arteries—both arise from the right ventricle. While serious, double outlet right ventricle is treatable surgically.
In a normal heart, the pulmonary artery that carries blood to the lungs to receive oxygen arises from the right ventricle. And the aorta, which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body, arises from the left ventricle.
In addition to both of the great arteries arising from the same right ventricle, most DORV defects are accompanied by other defects. Additional defects that may be present include:
If your child has a DORV, the type of treatment and the degree of urgency will vary, depending on which additional defects she has.
The experienced surgeons in the Boston Children's Cardiac Surgery Department understand how distressing a diagnosis of DORV can be for parents. You can have peace of mind knowing that our surgeons treat some of the most complex pediatric heart conditions in the world, with overall success rates approaching 98 percent—among the highest in the nation among large pediatric cardiac centers. The success rates of the operations used to repair most forms of DORV are in the same range.
At Boston Children's, we provide families with a wealth of information, resources, programs and support—before, during and after your child's treatment. With our compassionate, family-centered approach to expert treatment and care, you and your child are in the best possible hands.
Children who've had surgery for heart disease as infants are at greater risk of neurodevelopmental problems. By school age, they tend to have more academic, behavioral and coordination difficulties than other children. Boston Children's Cardiac Neurodevelopment Program—one of the few in the United States—provides expert screening, evaluation and care for infants, children and teenagers with congenital heart disease who are at risk for neurodevelopmental problems.
Care begins soon after your child's first cardiac surgery and continues as your child grows to make sure she's hitting her developmental milestones.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

Primarily used for warfare, these long and impressive looking ships were also used for trade. Until the late 16th century, when the bigger and much better armed galleon replaced it, the galley was the main warship of European naval forces.
The oldest galleys were Greek and Phoenician vessels of classical times. There were several types, classified by size.
The biggest (invented by the Phoenicians about 700 BC) were the so called biremes. They were not new; actually it was a transformed Egyptian model. The galley's underwater hull (hull - the body of the vessel) was much narrower than the other types of ships. The length to beam was surprisingly big, which made it really steady during rough sea. Usually if a boat has big length to beam, it is very firm, especially against heeling; it is almost impossible to topple them over. The boat looked very aesthetically with its rounded yet long and lean body.
Later, Greeks designed their own galley with a single mast. Its sail marked a revolution in thinking of men and effectiveness of the whole vessel - the big rectangular sail could be furled (to furl - to roll a sail up snugly on a yard or boom, and secure it). Furling enhances significantly the speed, influences directly the maneuvering of the vessel. Controlling it is like controlling the gear box of a car - its force. When going to war, the Greeks took a bronze-covered ram in their galleys - it was used to crash enemy vessels.

Devoran Village Hall
Devoran Village Hall, Devoran.
CAD Architects worked closely with the Devoran Village Hall Committee and the Conservation Department at Cornwall Council to prepare a scheme for the extensive refurbishment and extension of the existing Grade II Listed village hall and Listed Building Consent and Planning Approval has recently been granted.
The majority of the historic fabric has been retained with the addition of an expressed 'contemporary' extension with a zinc roof and timber cladding to provide additional facilities including a disabled toilet and improved catering and servery facilities. A new covered entrance gives flexibility allowing the hall to be used by two groups simultaneously. The removal of a recent single storey toilet block allows the creation of a glazed gable end enabling the building to address the village and adjoining car park and provide good daylight into the interior. A new slate roof ,glazed rooflights, replacement windows and improvements to the insulation and building fabric add further benefits.

Ke$ha is on her way to a full recovery after almost dying from anorexia and bulimia.
A friend gave an update on Ke$ha's health via Twitter Jan. 21, and assured fans Kesha is doing well and getting stronger day by day. Ke$ha does not have access to Twitter because she's in rehab, but wanted to relay a message to her fans.
"This is Kesha's friend. She asked me to tweet an update for her because she doesn't have access to twitter right now," Kesha tweeted.
"[Ke$ha] says, 'THANK YOU. SOOO MUCH. I'm overwhelmed to tears by all of the love, letters, and support! I'll be back soon and better than ever.' She can't believe Timber is still number one! Party on!"
Kesha, 26, checked into rehab Jan. 3 to treat her anorexia and bulimia. Kesha's mother, Pebe Sebert, said Kesha had been anorexic and bulimic since age 18 (when she signed with her former manager, David Sonenberg), and had been repeatedly fat-shamed by Sonenberg.
Sebert said Sonenberg browbeat her to do whatever it took to lose weight, including resorting to bulimia, anorexia and drugs.
"One time on a conference call, Sonenberg was screaming, 'You need to lose weight! I don't care what you do — take drugs, not eat, stick your finger down your throat!" said Sebert. "Ke$ha was just weeping. She drove around afterward thinking about killing herself."
Sebert said Ke$ha's longtime music producer, Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, joined in on the fat-shaming. Both Dr. Luke and Sonenberg have denied the weight-bullying accusations.
Sebert, who recently joined Ke$ha in rehab for post-traumatic stress, said her daughter almost died from anorexia and bulimia-induced starvation.
"I've watched my beautiful, self-confident, brilliant daughter be berated and ridiculed for her looks and weight to the point that she almost died," said Sebert.
"The doctors told me her blood pressure and sodium levels were so low, they'd never seen it that low except with someone who'd had a heart attack or stroke. They said it was a miracle she hadn't already dropped dead on stage."
Sebert said Kesha wants to use her bulimia battle as a platform to educate her fans about the dangers of eating disorders. "She wants to be a voice for this," said Sebert.

PITTSBURGH -- Dylan Larkin of the United States Under-18 National Team Development Program scored the only goal of the second period to give Team Mark Johnson a 1-0 lead over Team Joe Mullen in the second CCM/USA Hockey All-American Top Prospects Game at Consol Energy Center.
Larkin, who was given an "A" rating on NHL Central Scouting's preliminary players to watch list from the United States Hockey League for the 2014 NHL Draft, connected 37 seconds into the period to give Team Johnson the lead.
Keegan Iverson of the Western Hockey League's Portland Winterhawks forced a turnover between the circles before controlling the puck and feeding Larkin in the slot. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound center made no mistake, putting the puck in the net past goalie Ed Minney of the United States Under-18 National Team Development Program.
Larkin is no stranger to scoring early. He netted a pair of goals for the NTDP in a 9-3 win against the Youngstown Phantoms in the season opener; the second straight season he's scored a goal on opening night. His goal against Youngstown 1:09 into the game was the first goal of USHL's 2013-14 regular season.
Team Johnson goalie Thatcher Demko (six saves) of Boston College was replaced midway through the second by Blake Weyrick of the USNTDP. Weyrick stood tall, stopping all 10 shots in his direction to keep his club in front. His best stop came with 7:22 left in the second when he denied Anders Bjork (USNTDP) with his left pad on a semi-breakaway.
Minney (16 saves) of the NTDP was replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic (Plymouth Whalers, Ontario Hockey League) midway through the period and made six saves.

|East Carolina Game 52: Memphis
Sunday, May 6 | 1:00 p.m. ET
Memphis, Tenn. (Memphis Softball Complex)
|Watch Live | Gametracker | Live Chat
GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina (25-26, 11-11 C-USA) wraps up the regular season Sunday at Memphis with a 1:00 p.m. ET contest against the Tigers (19-36, 7-16 C-USA). The Pirates go for the sweep and have won three-straight C-USA series after taking just one of their first five.
Saturday, ECU recorded two come-from-behind wins, beating the Memphis 5-4 in the opener and 4-3 in eight innings in the nightcap. In game one, the Pirates trailed 4-1 heading into the sixth inning, but scored four times with two outs in the frame to earn the victory. Senior Suzanne Riggs led the offense in the opener, going three-for-three with two runs batted in, and classmate Priscilla Velasquez drove in the winning run. The second contest had junior Kai Clark hit a game-tying home run to lead off the top of the seventh and Riggs plate the deciding score with a single in the eighth.
Putting It Back Together
After opening the season with 3-1 and 6-3 records, East Carolina was off to its best start since 2008. The Pirates then dropped 22 of their next 32 games, but are appearing to peak at the right time and head into the series finale at Memphis having won nine of their last 10. It is the team's most successful stretch since a nine-game winning streak from Feb. 19-March 4, 2011.
One-Run Winners
East Carolina recorded a pair of one-run victories Saturday at Memphis. The wins lifted the Pirates' record to 9-5 in one-run contests this season. After starting the season with three wins in one-run affairs, ECU dropped five of its next six one-run tilts before winning the last five.
A year ago, East Carolina went 11-12 in one-run games and has not finished a season more than two games above .500 in one-run decisions since a 12-5 ledger in 2008.
Improving In The Clutch
ECU has won nine of its last 10 games, in part due to the defense and pitching limiting opponent success with runners on base. During the recent stretch, foes have hit just .250 (15-for-60) with runners in scoring position and .234 (26-for-111) with runners on base.
Prior to the win over Houston in the series finale, opponents had posted a .316 average (123-for-389) with runners in scoring position and a .340 mark (200-for-588) with runners on base.
Cutting Down The Ks
Although Marshall's Andi Williamson did strike out 15 in 12 innings of work last weekend, East Carolina has still greatly reduced its whiff count from a year ago. ECU fanned 384 times in 63 games during the 2011 campaign, an average of 6.1 per contest. This year, despite playing six games against ranked opponents, the Pirates are down to 4.4 strikeouts a game with 226 in 51 tilts.
In C-USA action, East Carolina whiffed 5.8 times a game last season and has just 3.8 a contest this year.
Making Them Go One At A Time
Through the first 30 games of the season, opponents were averaging 1.97 extra-base hits per contest. In the last 21 tilts, however, freshmen pitchers Sarah Christian and Courtney Smith have held foes to an average of 1.29 extra-base hits a matchup.
The opposition's home run totals have also been reduced as foes hit 23 through the first 30 games (0.77 per contest), but have managed just eight in the last 21 (0.38 per contest).
No Comparison From Year One To Year Two
Sophomore shortstop Chelsea Kaluhiokalani-Glackin went one-for-three with a run scored and stolen base during game two against Marshall last weekend. The single was the Waianae, Hawai'i, product's 18th hit of the season. During the Sunday finale, she recorded her 100th defensive assist.
After a year of learning on the job as a freshman, Kaluhiokalani-Glackin has made large gains both offensively and defensively this season. A comparison of the output from 2011 to 2012:

On the afternoon of Jan. 5, 2013, a Drudge Report banner headlined the question,"She [Hillary Clinton} makes it official?" beneath an image of a bumper sticker appearing as a recruitment push for Hillary Clinton to toss her heels in the ring as a candidate for president in 2016. Almost immediately, Matt Drudge followed with a tweet on his Twitter page, "Hillary makes her move, two years to the day of Iowa 2016. Her biggest roadblock: Her Health."
Drudge may be jumping the gun a bit on whether this is indeed an unofficial "official" announcement that Hillary is going for it. It's possible Drudge knows something he isn't sharing; however, at this time, The Drudge Report is providing no evidence that Hillary is making "her move."
According to the source referenced on the Drudge Report, his information is based on an email encouraging Hillary supporters to join a grassroots movement to let Hillary know she has their support if she decides to run. This recruitment effort was distributed by the Ready for Hillary Political Action Committee offering a free bumper sticker which states, "I'm ready for Hillary," not "Hillary is ready."
The email, signed by former Democratic presidential candidate General Wesley Clark, clearly indicates Hillary remains firmly in the decision making stage. An excerpt follows:
Hillary has what it takes to be the next President of the United States. But today, as she decides whether to run she needs to see our support. Now is the time to get our support for Hillary organized and ready for 2016. Claim your free sticker: Proudly put your support for Hillary on display and tell your friends to do the same.
Additional fuel for speculation was provided within hours of the Drudge tease by Time reporter, Zeke Miller, who reported "Hillary is laying the groundwork for a potential second attempt at the White House." Miller noted Hillary's 2008 Presidential Campaign rented its email list to Ready for Hillary. Regardless, speculation is and will remain high until Hillary puts folks out of their misery.
The last person who kept the public and potential rival candidates breathless with anticipation about whether she would run or wouldn't run for president was Sarah Palin. Almost until the last second, still airing ads that seemed presidential, Palin continued to leave her followers hanging, awaiting the final word from her. It remains to be seen if Hillary will follow Palin's example.

Adventurous photographers are invited to take a nine-day hike through steaming jungles and up to the high mountain ranges of northwest Argentina. Along the way, the hikers will enjoy spectacular sights such as soaring plateaus created by volcanoes, some of the world's highest vineyards, salt flats, cactus forests and dry desert valleys.
Put together by Arlington, Mass.-based Ciclismo Classico, until now known mainly for bike tours, the new "Argentina Vision & Vine" tour is set for Aug. 20-28, 2014.
The group will be accompanied by Argentinian photographer, teacher and documentary filmmaker Ossian Lindholm. After the days' treks, he will offer interactive Photoshop workshops and photography reviews while guests sample fine high-altitude wines, including fruity white Torrontes and full-bodied red Malbecs.
Northwest Argentina is a highly photogenic region consisting of the provinces of Catamarca, Jujuy, Salta, Santiago del Estero and Tucumán. The highlight of the tour is its incredible landscape diversity consisting of five distinct biomes: the sub-Andean humid sierras of the east, fertile valleys, and the canyons, the high mountains of the Andes and the Altiplano or Puna.
The special introductory price of the tour is $4,995 per person.
Founded as a cycling tour operator in Italy in 1988, Ciclismo Classico has since expanded its tours to Spain, France, Austria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, the New England region of the U.S., Vietnam and elsewhere around the globe.
"We are known for our award-winning bike tours, but my passion for photography has soared to new heights, and I am excited to shift gears and unveil the first of Ciclismo Classico's active photography journeys," said Ciclismo Classico Founder Lauren Hefferon. "Rather than spin through these timeless landscapes on bicycles, we will slow down, take 2-3 hour hikes and open our eyes to really experience the essence of this magical place with all of our senses."

For hardcore FPS players who don't mind un-learning a couple things about the traditional controls on a QWERTY keyboard, the Warrior will reward with a comfortable and ergonomically sound gaming experience. I can't say that it made me a better player, but let's be realistic – does anything other than practice and skill make someone a better FPS gamer? However, that's not to say this product can't aid in becoming a better player. It absolutely can. Its circular shape puts all the commonly used keys right where they need to be and that's important for both speed and accuracy. Some of the function keys still require a reach, but many FPS games don't utilize all of them anyway.
I can definitely see myself using the Warrior from now on when playing FPS games. Its similarities to a regular keyboard make for a low learning curve, yet it is unique enough to be favorable over other devices.

There were plenty of honors passed out at the March 7 end-of-the season Wauwatosa East/West wrestling banquet.
Topping the award winners was Michael Meade, who earned the Most Valuable Wrestler Award.
The Most Improved wrestlers were John Brennan and AJ Minucci and the Coaches' Dedication Award was shared by Kai Castaneda and Max Nelson.
Meade was also the recipient of the all-conference Scholar-Athlete honor and the Tosa Wrestling Club Academic Scholarship and Eric Ehlett was the Gordon Nieskes Memorial Scholarship recipient.
Tosa will lose six seniors Meade, Brennan, Ehlert, Larry Bryant, Akeem Harris and Michael Vogt.
Coach Kent Morin also pointed out that over 50 percent of the team was on the honor roll, with 12 of them achieving high honors. The GPA was 3.23.
"Over the years, I have had some kids decide not to wrestle because they wanted to concentrate on their grades," Morin said. "I would argue that they have a better chance of getting good grades while wrestling. Getting good grades requires discipline, which is the number one trait that wrestling teaches."
This year's team went 6-1 in conference duals good for second place and they were 21-5 in overall dual meets, which is the most victories in the history of Tosa wrestling
They also finished runner-up in the conference tournament, won the regional tournament, which was something that hadn't been done in Tosa since 1980.
The wrestlers were team sectional runners-up (highest finish ever since they have gone to the team tournament format) and qualified for the team tournament, where they lost to Arrowhead.
"We feel like we had a very nice season, but it wasn't an accident," Morin said. "This team worked harder in the off-season that any team that I have ever had. We had over 50 team lifting sessions in the summer and fall. We had over 25 wrestling sessions.
"They participated in a team camp at Waunakee High School along with participating in the East Troy Duals last summer. We also had five wrestlers (Meade, Minucci, Castaneda, Ehlert and Nelson) who were member of the Wisconsin National Team that trained in River Falls and then competed in Fargo, N.D. last summer.
"This team was such a pleasure to coach. They really supported each other knowing that we would only be as good as our weakest link. I know I speak for the entire coaching staff when I say that this was an enjoyable season that we will remember for a long time.
"(They're) great kids, who I think will have good memories from this season that will stay with them for a lifetime," he said.

Nov. 16, 2012
TUCSON, Ariz. - University of Arizona men's basketball coach Sean Miller announced Thursday that Rondae Jefferson and Elliott Pitts have signed National Letters-of-Intent to attend the school and play basketball. The duo is expected to enroll in July.
Jefferson, a 6-foot-7, 215-pound small forward from Chester, Pa., is ranked as the No. 4 small forward by espn.com. He is rated as the No. 19 overall prospect in the Class of 2013 by rivals.com. Jefferson, who currently preps at Chester High School, averaged 12.1 points and 9.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.7 blocked shots per game as a junior.
Jefferson helped lead Chester to a 32-0 record and the Class AAAA state championship last season. He was the Delaware County Player of the Year according to the Jefferson Daily Times. The Clippers have won 58 consecutive games and back-to-back state titles entering the 2012-13 campaign.
A versatile and coachable player, Jefferson nearly posted a quadruple-double as a junior, posting a 15-point, 15-rebound, 10-assist, eight-steal effort against Neptune H.S., a squad that went on to finish as the New Jersey Group III state runner-up.
Jefferson was a member of USA Basketball's U-17 squad that competed in the 2012 World Championships in Lithuania, but did not compete due to injury. He was also a member of the USA Basketball 3-of-3 FIBA Boys Youth World Championship squad that finished in seventh place in 2011.
"Rondae is a physical player whose versatility is his best asset," said Miller. "He's similar to Solomon Hill in that he can do a lot of things. He can handle the ball, play in a number of different spots and has a chance to be a great defender with his length. He's also the consummate teammate and a winner."
Pitts, a 6-foot-5, 180-pound guard from Dublin, Calif., is ranked as the No. 23 shooting guard by espn.com. He is rated as the No. 91 overall prospect in the espn.com Class of 2013. Pitts, who preps at De La Salle High School, averaged 16.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game as a junior, leading the Spartans to a 28-3 record and berth in the CIF Division I Northern Regional semifinals.
An unselfish player with great decision-making skills, Pitts was an all-East Bay selection in 2012, and helped De La Salle win 18 straight games last year.
"From the storied De La Salle program, Elliott has been a central piece to their recent success. He's a great passer and a very skilled shooter who is going to continue to grow and develop physically. As he develops, his skill level and incredible work ethic will allow him to contribute at a number of positions for us."
Miller and the 12th-ranked Wildcats continue the 2012-13 campaign Monday vs. Long Beach State. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. MST and can be seen on the Pac-12 Networks.

Whether you're gearing up for Easter celebrations or a fan of Faberge, making and decorating paper mache eggs is a fun way to spend an afternoon. These eggs can last a long time if cared for properly. Be warned that any work with paper and paint gets messy; cover your entire work surface, and anything nearby, with old newspaper or plastic tarps. Remember that you will have to leave time for the paper mache and the paint to dry before moving the eggs, so plan ahead.
Step 1
Shred newspaper into strips. The strips should be no more than 10 inches long to prevent ripping. Make sure not to use glossy inserts or thicker papers.
Step 2
Mix together a batch of paper mache glue. Take one and a half cups water, one cup flour and one fourth cup white glue and stir together. (See Reference 1) Do not use colored glue, as it will affect the coloring of your egg. If you are planning on making many decorative eggs, pull together a double batch.
Step 3
If using Styrofoam balls, begin dipping strips of newspaper into the mixture and applying to the ball. Press the newspaper strips firmly against the Styrofoam, smoothing them to the surface of the ball.
Step 4
If you don't have access to Styrofoam balls, use balloons. Blow up the balloons until they reach the egg size and shape you desire. Gently apply the dipped newspaper strips to the balloons. Be careful not to press too hard and pop the balloon.
Step 5
Allow the paper mache to dry completely, preferably overnight. Once dried, apply two to three layers of the white paint, until you cannot see the newspaper strips anymore. This step will require some patience, as one layer of paint is not thick enough to cover the newspaper print.
Step 6
Using other paint colors, decorate your egg in any manner you wish. If you want to layer colors, ensure that each layer dries completely before you begin the next. You can also use stickers, glitter or beads to decorate the eggs.

If this was it for "Gangnam Style," we wouldn't have changed a thing. Psy has hinted that his New Year's Eve performance of the global smash just might be his final, and if so, he went out with typical gusto, wearing a white fur jacket, screaming at the audience for participation, and of course, bringing his old AMAs pal MC Hammer back for a little "2 Legit 2 Quit" detour. The K-pop star also celebrated his 35th birthday on the day, with the ABC Rockin' Eve crew even leading the Times Square mob in a loud wish of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PSY!" (No "Happy Birhtday" song? Whatever.)
Thus endeth the year in "Gangnam Style." It was weird, it was wonderful, and against all odds, we never really got sick of it. We're grateful to have experienced such an odd and rewarding chapter in our culture's history, and we can only hope that 2013 is dominated by a similarly wondrous pop phenomenon. Hey, maybe it'll be Psy all over again—who knows what he and Hammer are cooking up for this year?

A Chillicothe man charged with animal cruelty after allegedly shooting and killing a pit bull puppy pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Ohio SPCA conducted an investigation after the body of a little puppy was found on Feb. 17 with a cage in a wildlife area off Union Lane.
Five hours after the Ohio SPCA announced a $1,000 reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the shooting death of puppy "Coco," they received a tip. And a name: Joshua R. Bone.
If convicted, Bone faces up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine for the misdemeanor charge. A pretrial hearing has been scheduled for April 25, with a jury trial on June 5.
The Ohio SPCA has once again helped catch an animal abuser. But this is not the only case the Ohio SPCA has been working on. They have launched a full-scale investigation into dog killings in Gallia County. In the past eight weeks, the Ohio SPCA has rescued 18 horses (including 6 on Wednesday), and saved numerous dogs and cats from three hoarding cases.
Helping so many animals has depleted their veterinary funds. Medical care is expensive, and without the help of many, the Ohio SPCA cannot continue to rescue a large number of animals.
If you would like to help save lives, please donate, sponsor via the Ohio SPCA website, or at least share. Links are below.
Paypal: firstname.lastname@example.com
Snail mail: Ohio SPCA P.O. Box 546 Grove City, Ohio 43123
Note that the no-kill volunteer-staffed Ohio SPCA is not affiliated with the ASPCA in NYC and they receive no government funding.
