Ali Houlis of the University of Massachusetts women's lacrosse team wears a red headband that holds a lifetime's worth of tragedy, awareness, and hope.
It never fades in the wash, it never comes untied. It's the only one she ever bought in a store, the others she had always made, patched them together, but they always faded in the wash, and became untied in the rain.
It's a good luck piece now, one that has worked fabulously all the way through the Minutewomen's 7-0 undefeated mark in Atlantic-10 play and 14-2 overall record this season. But only half of the red headband is being worn.
The Daily Hampshire Gazette has a story on Saturday's Spring Football Events, read about it here: UMass football plays spring game Saturday at McGuirk
Saturday's annual University of Massachusetts spring football game will have some added events after last week's announcement that the school was upgrading its program to the Bowl Subdivision.
In addition to the 4 p.m. game at McGuirk Stadium, there's a 1 p.m. tour of the program's new offices in the Slobody Building at 101 University Drive. Members of the 100 Yard Club, a UMass booster club, can meet coaches and players at 3 p.m. prior to the spring game and eat with them at a barbecue afterward.
There will be an autograph session for anyone after the spring game.
UMass coach Kevin Morris said he was pleased with his team's progression this spring.
"It's been good. We've got a good group of guys," Morris said. "Guys have really taken it seriously and set a high standard."
t the outset of the 2011 season, senior attacker Jackie Lyons sat in her bedroom and looked at the UMass schedule. Lyons had accomplished a lot in her first three season, including 2010 A-10 Attacker of the Year honors, but staring at the schedule and ruminating about her senior season, she decided she wanted to do more.
So she wrote down a lacrosse "bucket list," a list of things she wanted to do before she graduated. The list is seven items long; thus far in the season, Lyons has achieved four out of four of those goals and has lad the Minutewomen to a 14-2 overall record. Today UMass is headed toward No. 5, an A-10 championship in Friday's game versus Duquesne at Temple University. Here's a look at Lyons' list.

It appears they jumped, wisely, at an opportunity that had never taken quite this form, or been this attractive. At the same time, the ground from which they leap - the lower level of Championship Subdivision (FCS) play - was falling away around their feet. Two former competitors in Championship Subdivision are gone and a third is lowering its program out of the Colonial Athletic Association.
If you love your Minutemen, may we suggest a carpool?
It was a historic day at the UMass Softball Complex on Wednesday as junior pitcher Sara Plourde, with a 14-strikeout three-hitter, led UMass to a 3-2 win over Boston University and recorded the 1,000th strikeout of her career. She is just the third pitcher in UMass history to reach the mark, joining Danielle Henderson and Brandice Balschmiter, and the first to do it prior to her senior season.

The Boston Herald has a story on local college product that are hopeful of hearing their names called as the NFL Draft starts on Thursday night. Read about it in : Local prospects hoping to catch on.
Offensive lineman Greg Niland of East Bridgewater, who began his career at Northeastern University before it dropped its football program, and went on to play his final season of eligibility at the University of Massachusetts, has piqued the interest of several NFL teams and could be a late-round pick.
Other UMass players to watch are wide receiver Anthony Nelson, who caught 61 passes last season, running back John Griffin of Westminster, another NU transfer, and quarterback Kyle Havens.
"Nelson did real well at the BC pro day and turned some heads," UMass coach Kevin Morris said. "Griffin, as well, with his physical skills. Nelson has some people wanting to take a second and third look at how good he is with the ball and how fast he is. Havens, too, has a couple of teams interested. We just need to get this (NFL) lockout to get unlocked, to get these guys into camps to show what they can do."
I'm not good at snap judgments. But after several days, here's what I've come up with.
I don't know if the University of Massachusetts playing Bowl Subdivision football in Foxborough is going to work. But I think it's worth a shot because it's the best option UMass has.
If UMass hadn't moved up, moving backward might eventually have been the only choice as the status quo isn't going to be an option for much longer. Championship level FCS football in the Northeast is dying. The CAA is clearly becoming a southern-based conference. Old Dominion and Georgia State were added ahead of Fordham, shifting the league's latitude even lower and the price of travel even higher.
UMass coach Mike Stone said after that game that while playing at Fenway "is a treat" for everyone involved, it's even more of a treat if the team plays well and gets victories.
UMass did just that, getting on the board early by plating Anthony Serino after Peter Copa reached base on a throwing error by the shortstop. The Minutemen further capitalized on the Terrier miscue with a two-out triple to right field by Kyle Multner. The triple plated Copa and Tom Conley, who reached on a single.

After years of debate and speculation. UMass is moving its football team up to the FBS, formerly called Divisioin I -A With that move comes another, UMass will play its future home games in Foxborough. "I'm glad to see them make it finally where they should be", says Amherst's Al Ohlson. Watch the full story from NBC22.
NBC 30 in Hartford, Connecticut has a look at the potential rivalry between UMass and UConn being re-ignited with the Minutemen's move to the FBS level. Read about it here:
At the beginning of the month, as the men's basketball team was preparing for Final Four foe Kentucky, we wrote about the long history between the two coaches. Jim Calhoun and John Calipari go way back, to the early '90s when Calipari was then the UMass coach.
The Minutemen were gaining in national prominence, thanks largely to Calipari. According to the Boston Globe's Mark Blaudschun, Calipari once remarked that "We will play anyone, anywhere, anytime,'" presumably in an effort to get the Huskies on the schedule.
Calhoun's response at the time: "Calipari said he plays a national schedule, so obviously he doesn't need us. We play Kansas and Duke, and we think those are pretty good teams. We're happy with who we are playing now."
The Huskies got the last laugh, defeating the Wildcats in the Final Four two days before winning their third national championship.
Now it appears there will be another means for renewing this rivalry. Last week, UMass announced that the football program is moving to the FBS and joining the MAC conference beginning in 2012. One problem, though: some fans are worried that UMass' new status could hurt UConn's recruiting efforts.
The response from ESPN.com's Brian Bennett during a recent Q & A:
"I wouldn't worry too much about the recruiting aspect. UMass might pose more competition for players in the Northeast, but if you can't outrecruit the MAC as a school in an [automatic qualifier] league, you've got much bigger problems. This might have been more of a concern for the Huskies if Randy Edsall were still the coach, since his recruiting philosophy centered around under-the-radar players. But Paul Pasqualoni was hired in large part for his ability to connect with high school coaches and recruit high-caliber players. If that's true, he shouldn't lose out to UMass on many prospects.
Great points, all of them, and the Hartford Courant's Desmond Connor agrees, writing that "Until the program upgrades those facilities and becomes part of a BCS conference it poses no real threat to UConn anywhere."
Bennett adds an interesting footnote: "UMass-UConn is a natural rivalry, though I don't think the Huskies should accept a home-and-home series. A 2-for-1 is a better deal for them."
This also makes sense; UMass would get more out of hosting UConn than the other way around. For now, anyway.
The UMass softball team concluded a busy six-game week with a doubleheader split at home against Syracuse on Friday and then a twinbill sweep over George Washington on Easter Sunday which included a dramatic come-from-behind eight-inning victory in game two. The Minutewomen continue their 12-game homestand on Wednesday when they host Boston University at 5 p.m. at the UMass Softball Complex. Below are recaps from this weekend's games.
UMass: Krafting a better football team
April 25, 2011
Patriots' owner Robert Kraft deserves credit for bringing more big-time college football to New England when he struck a deal that allows the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to play all their home games rent-free at Gillette Stadium starting in 2012. Having the high-class Foxborough facility as a home field enables UMass to join the Division I Mid-American Conference and lure bowl-bound football powers onto its schedule.
The move is already building excitement among UMass graduates, for whom Saturdays in Foxborough could be a great bonding experience, and it could pay off for the university in some other respects, too. If Massachusetts residents come to see the UMass team as an expression of Bay State pride, it will help build greater political and community support for the state's leading public university.
Welcome as the UMass ascent to collegiate football's Mt. Olympus may be, policymakers should be aware that the costs in athletic scholarships and expanded coaching staffs will be considerable. UMass anticipates that its football expenditure will jump from $4.4 million in 2010 to $6.9 million for the 2013 season. Purely as an economic venture, or as a means of enhancing a university's national standing, a top-tier football program is no panacea -- and certainly no substitute for enhanced academic resources.
But pride doesn't come with a pricetag, and watching UMass match up against national powerhouses will provide an extra point of identity to fans of the sometimes neglected university -- that is, as long as the Minutemen make a good showing on the field.

We break down UMass' move to the FBS from all angles -- from the nuts and bolts, to players' reactions.
Hear from UMass-Amherst's chancellor, Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft, and MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher on the Minutemen's move.
Plus, head coach Kevin Morris and some of his players react to it.
How does it affect students? Hear from a few of them.
For the area, well-attended football games next fall could mean significant revenue, and, yes, more traffic on area roads. But after years of handling pro football crowds, we're confident that local authorities are more than prepared to deal with college game day fans.
If there was ever a win-win, we think that this is it.
Jonathan Quick looks at his job like a weatherbeaten, unsentimental cowboy would.
In some ways he prefers to paraphrase the motto of the Texas Rangers (the militia, not the baseball team).
One riot, one goaltender.
In his scorebook, he gave up six goals to San Jose in Game 3 of this first-round Stanley Cup playoff series and he gave up six more in Game 4. There are no footnotes.
Don't tell him he might as well have been the security guard at the Alamo.
Don't tell him he would have fared better had the Sharks not used his goalie mask to scratch their itchy beards.
All he did was save a season that appeared headed toward another unsatisfactory ending after they were swept at home and fell into a 3-1 series deficit.
Quick insisted his teammates played a large role in helping him set a club playoff record for saves Saturday because they limited the Sharks to mostly perimeter shots. That was true to an extent. And they gave him some security in the form of first-period goals by Wayne Simmonds, Kyle Clifford and -- yes -- Dustin Penner on their first four shots at Antti Niemi.
But the Kings would not have prolonged their playoff series to a sixth game, set for 7 p.m. Monday at Staples Center, if not for Quick's calm in the face of 19 shots in the first period and 18 in the third. The 15-shot middle period was a vacation by comparison.
DE: On Wednesday, UMass officially joined the Mid-American Conference for football. Talk about your initial thoughts on UMass joining the conference?
DH: I think it is very positive for our league. Obviously we had an odd number of teams in football and we had to address that. We talked about that for several years in terms of how to attack that and how to address that. The addition of UMass was one of the better options that was on the table.
This will only help us in scheduling. Not just in conference scheduling, but in overall scheduling. It will give us in the MAC more consistency in our scheduling so we can plan out more long term, so that is a positive as well.
UMass brings great tradition and is a very strong program. Football is important at UMass and that is a big component. This move also helps stretch our league to the Northeast a little bit more with Buffalo, Temple, and UMass. From an exposure standpoint, there is value in that. We are excited about having them in the league. I am very positive on the overall addition.
Conference expansion and adding teams is a complicated deal normally, and now with the added uncertainties of leagues and the unknowns that are out there, that even complicates it more. For us to get a team and help solidify Temple in the conference as well, for our league that gives us good balance.
DE: How does this move impact other sports in the MAC and is UMass expected to meet certain expectations in terms of schedule outside of football?
DH: Contractually we have agreed with them to play basketball on a yearly basis, where they will face two different MAC opponents each year. So, there will be an equal rotation of that and that mirrors the Temple agreement. The opportunity to have our basketball programs on the men's and women's side compete against UMass will be good. That will help the basketball programs.
As we continue to build relationships, there may be opportunities for other scheduling alignments with other sports. Again, in many other sports they are locked in with different leagues. This is about football first and a small basketball scheduling component. But, any time you spend more time with folks you have the opportunity to expand relationships and work together in other areas.
I think we can build some scheduling alliances through the relationships that UMass and Temple have with other schools. Those relationships can help other sports. We are looking at those relationships.
DE: What is the next step with this addition process now that UMass and the MAC have agreed to the partnership?
DH: The next step for us as athletic directors is to sit down and look at the divisional alignments and figure things out and put everything out on the table. We need to find a divisional system that works for everyone the best it can.
The key is aligning those rival games in similar divisions. When you have rival games that are crossing over divisions, that complicates things for everyone. There is not an equal rotation and we have had that for many years.
We really have not talked about the divisional stuff much. We wanted to make sure we were solid as a league first and that we got to the 14 number. Now we can look at what best serves the league from a divisional standpoint. And, you know what? We may have different divisions for different sports or different alignments for different sports. Maybe we won't even have divisions in certain sports again. Some of those things may happen.
The division alignment needs to get in place relatively soon and we need to tweak the scheduling model because UMass joins the league in 2012. While they won't be eligible for postseason play that year, they will be a counting member on everyone's schedule and an active part in the league.
Check out these previews of UMass playing in the ESPNU Warrior Classic, taking on long-time rival Hofstra on Saturday at 3 p.m.
It's not an automatic, but in rare cases the NCAA will grant
a sixth year of eligibility to a student-athlete, and that was the desired
decision this week for University
of Massachusetts women's
basketball guard Megan Zullo.
Zullo, who averaged 10.5 points and 4.5 assists last season while setting a team record with 1,136 minutes played, will return to the Minutewomen for the 2011-12 campaign.
Normally a student's athletic eligibility is four seasons, but sometimes the student is offered the opportunity to redshirt for a year to spread that eligibility over five years. But the NCAA may also grant a sixth year of eligibility, only if a player has missed two seasons because of an injury or circumstances beyond a player's control.

"The clock is definitely ticking," said the 37-year-old Camby, now in his 15th season in the league. "And you got the lockout looming, there are a lot of factors. I try not to think about it, but these are the times where you really start to look over the course of your career and where you're at."
"I think about that '99 team (Knicks team that played in the NBA Finals) every day," Camby said. "It just shows that, once you get into the playoffs, anything is possible."
Lakers coach Phil Jackson recently acclaimed Camby's skill set, praising his "great mind for defense" and "knack for the game."
Instead of working out on his own, Clegg's new routine called for visiting Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning four times a week for 15 weeks. Other athletes who have sought out Boyle in the past include Nomar Garciaparra, Cam Neely, Ray Bourque and Rich Hill, a Boston native who pitched for the Red Sox in 2010.
"It is in Woburn, in my hometown, so I really had no excuse not to go," said Clegg, a minor league pitcher in the Washington Nationals' farm system. "I slimmed down and put on some muscle mass. I needed it. I feel as good as I have in a couple of years."

If NFL labor talk wasn't giving you your fill of legal fun, the NBA appears ready to follow suit as rumors of a basketball lockout continue to gather steam.
If the NY Daily News is right, the NBA Las Vegas summer league won't be happening this year. The league is usually a chance for rookies to prepare for their first season, while players who were undrafted, or played int eh D-League or overseas can use the league as a chance to get an invitation to somebody's camp. This helped earn Gary Forbes a job last year. Without a summer league there'll be fewer chances for someone to crack a roster.
If there is a work stoppage, even a short one, that postpones the start of the 2011-12 season. It's likely that NBA will have shorter training camps. Players with NBA experience will be safer invites to people camp. For someone like Gary Forbes, who'll be a free agent after the season, this is a good thing.
For someone like Tony Gaffney, who played this season in the D-League, or Anthony Gurley, who isn't expected to be drafted, there is less chance of becoming the next Gary Forbes.

There were two hundred and twenty-five players named called during the 2010 NFL draft. Not one of those names was Victor Cruz. He'd have to try and make it as an UDFA. Cruz received calls from many teams, but the UMass standout opted to sign with the Giants. He'd try and make the roster as a player not drafted something very difficult to do.
Greg Niland has learned his lessons well.
How else to explain the businesslike approach the 6-foot-5, 305-lbs. business administration major is taking to the upcoming National Football League draft? "All it takes is for one team to like you and take a chance," Niland said. "That's all you need."
One team: That would be one less than the offensive lineman from East Bridgewater suited up for over the course of his collegiate career.
Lyons, the reigning Atlantic 10 Player of the Year, is used to being the catalyst for the UMass (11-2, 4-0) offense with her goal-scoring. With a core of adept upperclassmen and a set of emerging newcomers taking up the scoring load, Lyons has played more of a facilitating role this season, and it is working out in the Minutewomen's favor.
"Even last year, we had maybe four or five [scorers], but now we have all seven people," said Lyons after a recent win against Duquesne. "We have people coming off the bench who can score, and it's great because it's hard for teams to stop us when everybody's a threat."
So let's get it out of the way right now:
No, he did not get worn down last season. He felt fine despite logging 72 games, a high number for a West Coast goalie who does more travel than many of his peers.
Yet even his coach, Terry Murray, acknowledged that he rode Quick too hard last season, and the evidence seemed clear when Quick finished the regular season on a 0-3-3 slide.
But Quick seems to be the only one who didn't get tired just looking at those statistics.

The Carthage, NY native has hit the ground running in Amherst. She's tied for first on the team in points (37) and boasts a team-high 30 goals. The finisher also leads the team in game-winning goals in 2011. She's picked up 11 ground balls and has caused 7 turnovers.
With the release of veteran Damien Woody this offseason, the competition for starting jobs along the right side of the offensive line is wide open. A second lineman out of the UMASS, Ducasse has shed eight pounds this offseason working his way down to a spry and limber 317. Ducasse was quick to credit the training program developed by trainers at TEST Sports Clubs.
"I'm doing everything: working on strength, speed and agility and trying to gain more flexibility," Ducasse told GWR. "We are doing exercises over and over again until it becomes muscle memory."
Here is Michael Counos' preview of the series from today's Daily Collegian.
The microscope will be focused intensely on Ducasse, who attempts to replace the popular Damien Woody as the starting right tackle. Ducasse has a lot stacked against him -- virtually no experience, new position, small-school background -- but the Jets' brass believes he can get it done.
In an attempt to show a little school spirit on his first day at his new job, University of Massachusetts defensive coordinator Frank Forcucci dug out some of his old UMass gear from a previous stint on the Minuteman coaching staff.
He didn't wear it long. Since he last coached in Amherst, UMass has changed head coaches, playing surfaces, athletic directors and equipment providers, so Forcucci's old Nike apparel was quickly replaced with new Adidas duds.
Other than the clothing, Forcucci has felt at home back in Amherst. Read Matt Vautour's full feature story in the Daily Hampshire Gazette: New defensive coordinator Frank Forcucci familiar with UMass football

Matt Strong of The Daily Collegian has a recap of last weekend's track and field meet, and previews this weekend's UMass Invitational.
"The Minutemen will look to pick up where they left off last weekend, building on a first-place finish at the Yellow Jacket Invitational."
Well, good luck with that.
At the young age of 25, in just his second full NHL season, Quick has seen almost everything. He climbed up from the ECHL. He surprised many by claiming the Kings' No. 1 goalie job. He set a franchise record for games and wins and helped the team to the playoffs for the first time in eight years. He became an Olympian and a first-time father.
All of these accomplishments have been accompanied by challenges, and Quick -- arguably the Kings' most competitive and self-critical player -- has internalized all the experiences and, seemingly, become a much better goalie for all of it.

"Despite the rough conditions, I thought both boats raced pretty well," said UMass coach Jim Dietz. "Normally, the Connecticut River is flat and very conducive to rowing. On Saturday, the wind was blowing big time and there were white caps, so it was very rough water."

Massachusetts Minutewomen basketball star Cerie Mosgrove just gave fans of UMass basketball a reason to celebrate. I'll admit at the outset, pinning the emotions of UMass students and alumni frustrated with the state of the school's basketball program all on one player might be a bit much. Nevertheless, any cause for celebration is precious indeed considering the last few losing seasons.
Stubbornly loyal alumni like me need any silver lining we can find when it comes to redeeming the Massachusetts Minutemen and Minutewomen. At the very least, Cerie Mosgrove's recent win at the National 3-point Championship amounts to the single best bit of news to come out of UMass basketball in recent memory.

Press give mixed reviews for Craven Cottage display
- 22 December 2013 09:24
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
City may have taken three points in tricky conditions on the road – and without Sergio Aguero – but this morning's papers are keen to remind readers how hard the Blues had to work for the win.
You can read Mark Booth's official take on the game here.
The Guardian is fairly typical of today's reports, noting that Manuel Pellegrini's men can make life difficult for themselves on the road, while reserving praise for the team's attacking prowess and the wealth of options the manager has at his disposal as the festive fixtures start to pile up.
The paper's David Hytner writes: "Manchester City have an addiction to making life more difficult for themselves than it might be but they raised the bar here to freakish new heights. At 2-0 up this contest looked over and it promised to be a rather less harrowing away-day experience than some of those that have scarred the club's push to regain the Premier League title.
"But with Fulham refusing to go quietly, and back in the game thanks largely to the dynamism of Adel Taarabt, Vincent Kompany scored an own-goal that will have him waking up in cold sweats.
"With David Silva irrepressible, City created so many chances it seemed faintly ridiculous that they should face the prospect of further dropped points away from home, however boldly Fulham contributed to a real thriller. Yet City's firepower is such that they could still dig themselves out of the hole.
"Manuel Pellegrini had already introduced Jesús Navas and he would send on James Milner and both of them scored to ensure that this would not be filed together with Cardiff, Stoke, Aston Villa and Sunderland in the roll call of careless City slips. Navas's goal was the crucial one, drilled through the legs of the goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg from Silva's pass, and Milner's added the belated gloss from Alvaro Negredo's wonderful outside-of-the-boot pass."
While Fulham deserve credit for not handing out early Christmas gifts and making life too easy for the men in blue, don't be fooled – there were plenty of positives to take from yesterday's game ahead of the two post-Christmas clashes on home turf.
Simon Bajkowski of the Manchester Evening News is keen to point them out for City fans to enjoy with their Sunday cornflakes.
He writes: "Another City game, another bounty of goals. You can usually tell a truly potent attack from the goals scored from behind the strikers, and City had four today from midfielders and defenders.
"The centre-backs combined for one, Toure scored a free-kick, Milner finished another off and Navas - the man who came to the Etihad with the mantle of provider rather than finisher - also added to his tally."
Speaking of Toure, Bajkowski adds: "Yaya Toure has obviously been on the training ground practising his free-kicks and it is having such an impact on City's season.
"The Ivorian now has 11 goals and is starting to gain a reputation for trademark free-kicks. City were not on top at the time but the goal helped change the momentum of the game. And if opposition players are less willing to go in on the likes of Silva and Negredo for fear of giving away a free-kick, City still benefit."
As ever, mcfc.co.uk has filled your stocking ahead of time with all the post-match reaction you need right here. We've got the manager's verdict here, and video interviews with the goalscorers themselves – Jesus Navas here and James Milner here.
Don't worry, you didn't think I would leave you without some transfer gossip, did you?
Never fear, for Goal.com is here! The website claims that Aleks Kolarov is interesting a host of European teams – although they're playing the long game with this one, and suggesting he may move on in the summer, rather than January.
The Serbian left back has made 19 appearances for City so far this term, and Zenit are the latest club said to be circling in the hope of securing his signature.
Writes Paul Clennam: "The wealthy Russian outfit contacted the agents of the Serbia international earlier this week, having recently seen the defender linked to both Inter and Juventus.
"Kolarov, 28, will have 12 months remaining on his existing deal next summer and boss Manuel Pellegrini has already made it clear that he will be going nowhere in the January transfer window."
He continues: "Serie A champions Juventus have distanced themselves from a deal for Kolarov, however, with general director Giuseppe Marotta confirming that the club have no intention to initiate negotiations for the 28-year-old."
Remember, as ever, nothing is confirmed until you read it on mcfc.co.uk!

Perry Gets Mixed Job Reviews in His Home State
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has slightly improved his standing back home since becoming the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination. But more Texans still disapprove of the job he's doing than approve, according to a poll released Tuesday.
Some 45% of Texas voters approve of Mr. Perry's performance as governor, with 48% disapproving, according the survey by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic polling firm. That's up from June, when a PPP survey showed 52% of Texans disapproving of his job performance and 43% approving.
Mr. Perry leads President Barack Obama by 7 percentage points in a general election match-up in Texas, where Mr. Perry has been governor for more than a decade, the poll found.
Mr. Perry had 51% support to Mr. Obama's 44% in the poll. A June PPP poll, conducted before Mr. Perry was a declared presidential candidate, showed the Texas governor losing to Mr. Obama, 45% to 47%.
The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.
Sen. John McCain won the Lone Star State by nearly 12 percentage points in 2008.

I am using a Windows machine with 8 cores. No other process than Mathematica 8 is using CPU time right now - still the MathKernel.exe CPU usage does not go beyond 13%. My current computation takes forever and I feel that might be the reason. How can I adjust the CPU usage of Mathematica to use, say, up to 90% of CPU?
"% of CPU" represents the entire capacity of your system. If you have N cores and a process uses only one core, then it will use 100/N % of the capacity of your system --- you obviously have 8 cores.
Unless a problem is explicitly parallelised, it won't run on more than one core.
You should be able to parallelise Simplify / FullSimplify:

>Working Together Means Working Apart
Working Together Means Working Apart
By Chad Counts & Robert Counts
September 1, 2011
For many in the automotive recycling industry, going to work is a family affair. Whether it is Brother-Brother, Father-Daughter, or Husband-Wife, family dynamics are everywhere in family-Owned business.
Depending on whom you ask (or when you ask) about the experience of working in a family business, the difference can be as varied as Heaven and Hell. Hopefully, by walking through some helpful tips, we can bring a little bit more Heaven into the day-to-day experience of family business.
The Plan
Just like any other business venture, the most important place to start is with the plan. Why is the business here and how is it going to be successful? Seems simple enough; however, when families enter into business together they often fail to start with this question. Instead, many begin with the family before addressing how the business itself will work.
• Have a plan for how each member of the family contributes to the vision of the business and make adjustments to the plan at any time where a new member of the family joins or leaves the business. If a family member is not contributing to the business vision, we have a problem! So, the best way to protect against this problem is to start with a plan or vision that all parties have agreed upon.
• Continue to update the business plan every quarter to make sure that all parties have a chance to communicate and contribute to the present and future state of the company.
The Boundaries
Businesses work best when run like a business. Families work best when run like a family. If we start with these two simple truths, then it becomes relatively clear that having consistent boundaries between family life and business life is essential to the survival of the family business.
• Examples of boundaries in the family business setting are keeping all important or difficult discussions behind closed doors, having clear job descriptions to prevent overlap, clarifying chain of command, and allowing each member to use necessary authority independently.
• Examples of boundaries at home are arranging preset times to discuss business issues away from the business, limiting discussions of the business to prearranged times or at least protecting important family events by making them free of business discussions.
The Individual
When working in a family business, it is easy for people to be caught in pre-arranged roles. For the family business to run optimally, it is necessary to assess each individual family member skill set and allow them opportunities to use their individual gifts.
• Allowing individuals to use their skill set should increase overall business productivity, as well as job satisfaction of all employees.
• While not everyone may get to do exactly what they want, finding ways for each family member to use some of their unique skills should enhance the overall environment of the business.
The Recap
Overall, following this process should protect family businesses from many of the pitfalls that often lead to failure.
• Starting with a business plan ensures that the needs of the business are placed first to protect its survival.
• Putting healthy boundaries into place to allow both the family and business system to thrive separately with different rules and roles will protect all family members and allow them to have their needs met at home and at work.
• Lastly, allowing for each individual to have a unique role creates accountability for the business and fulfillment for the individual.

Section 15: In-State Residency
Each public university in Illinois is allowed to grant a given number of tuition waivers; a waiver means that a student may attend a university without actual money being paid to the school for tuition. Intercollegiate Athletics is one of the units granted permission to make use of such waivers. We may provide tuition for 2 Illinois residents for the same cost as for one out-of-state student because the dollar value of a tuition waiver for an out-of-state student is double that of an in-state student. Since we want to be able to attract as many quality athletes as possible to our program and to provide each of these athletes with as much financial aid as possible, we encourage each out-of- state student-athlete to become an Illinois resident at the earliest possible time. The requirements are:
If you have a valid out-of-state license, you must surrender it and present two other forms of identification. If your out-of-state license is expired or lost, you must also present your birth certificate or a certified copy of your birth certificate.

Colgate head coach Mike Murphy is looking for even bigger things in 2013.
Oct. 16, 2012
By Matt Forman
If Colgate had the nation's second-ranked scoring offense last season, can you imagine what the Raiders will look like in 2013?
With no horns, an expanded substitution box and quick restarts, the new NCAA rules changes should only serve to increase the pace of play. And, oh by the way, Colgate coach Mike Murphy said senior goalie Jared Madison played all of last year with a broken back -- impressive work keeping it a secret for four months -- yet even that barely stopped the Raiders from running roughshod.
"You'd think I would have been a guy to get called for stall warning after stall warning, just because I was trying to protect [Madison], instead of saying, 'If we're going to win, we'll win 16-14,'" Murphy joked.
Colgate, whose up-and-down style made them one of the country's most exciting teams to watch, might have surprised some in 2012. Next spring, they won't catch anybody off guard.
"The phrase we've used a lot this fall is this: We spent the summer getting patted on the back. Now we have to be prepared to be punched in the face," Murphy said.
So what's the next step for Colgate? And how about for reigning Tewaaraton Award winner Peter Baum?
To answer those questions, Lacrosse Magazine caught up with a fired-up Murphy, not long after he had hosted a 6-8 a.m. Colgate fall ball practice.

New Westmoreland Judicial Center to open by March 1
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 04 December 2013 10:40
- Published on Wednesday, 04 December 2013 10:40
- Hits: 4715
The new $9.3 million Westmoreland County Judicial Center is scheduled to open on or before March 1, according to Westmoreland County Administrator Norm Risavi.
"The project has gone very well," said Risavi. "We are well within the budget and actually may have a surplus."
Risavi said official opening ceremonies for the new juridical center will be scheduled as the actual completion date for the project nears. "I would say it is about 80 percent complete now," he said.
Workers are painting and doing interior work to finish up the new building, which has been built just north of the county's currently over-crowded George D. English Building. Risavi said county officials are working to determine the furnishing needs of the new judicial center.
"We are buying some new furniture and using some of the furniture from the offices of those who will be moving into the building," Risavi said.
The new judicial center will be home to the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office, the Commonwealth's Attorney, the Circuit Court Clerk, the General District Court Clerk and the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Clerk. The building will also house the offices of the Probation and Parole department as well as the Victim's Assistance Office.
The new 40,000 square-foot building will have vastly improved security from the English Building, which currently houses the county courts and the Commonwealth's Attorney's offices. The need for improved security was one of the primary reasons for the construction of the new judicial center.
"There have been a number of security concerns about our present situation," said Risavi. "So we are pleased that this is going to solve that problem."
Risavi said the opening of the new judicial center will also allow those offices remaining in the English Building to remodel and expand so they can operate more efficiently for the taxpayers.
The clerks and judges who will work out of the new building are especially pleased with its construction. "This will be the heart and centerpiece for this community for decades to come," said Circuit Court Judge Joseph Ellis.

Areas of light freezing drizzle/rain will be around Central Indiana this evening and overnight. Don't let the "light" wording fool you… it may go a long way in making untreated roads slick with temperatures stuck in the mid-20s.
Definitely use caution tonight and early Monday morning, and be mindful that icy roads are possible. Check back for updates.
Under a blanket a gray Monday temperatures remain steady in the mid/upper 20s. Areas of freezing drizzle are possible in the morning.
A quick-moving upper disturbance will ride through the Ohio River Valley late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. This brings snow "potential" back in play for the southern half of the state… though admittedly there is a great deal of uncertainty on track and intensity. For now I'm putting the I-70 corridor/south in play for snow "potential"… with a disclaimer it's very subject to change.
Temperatures drop into the single digits Wednesday morning as clouds depart. This will be one of a couple of mornings next week in the single digits.
Next weekend looks unsettled with a return of precipitation. There isn't much model consensus regarding precip-type. Stay tuned and be safe if you're driving tonight – Sean Ash

SMITHVILLE — A delay has surfaced in the rebuilding of Smithville School, which was severely damaged during the April 27 tornado.
Monroe County schools superintendent Scott Cantrell said that it's called a Section 106.
Cantrell says that's when the federal government is required to carefully assess any work planned for a historic structure. He says some of the school buildings are more than 50 years old and qualify for the National Register of Historic Places.
Cantrell says construction will go ahead once everything is ironed out.
If the school is unable to move back to the original campus by summer of 2013, Cantrell says the school district can apply to the federal government for an extension to stay in temporary units as they are now.

Apple acquires social mapping service Spotsetter to bolster Maps
Had some change left from Beats buyout
APPLE APPARENTLY had some change left after its buyout of Beats Electronics, and has picked up geolocation recommendations service Spotsetter.
Techcrunch reports that Apple silently bought Spotsetter last week for an undisclosed sum, claiming the firm was after the technology and the company's two founders - ex-Google Maps engineer Stephen Tse and Johnny Lee.
Spotsetter uses big data to offer its users personalised, location based recommendations. The firm's app - which was available for iOS and Android until last week - combined data from friends recommendations and revenues, along with content from users' social networking accounts to offer recommendations, which it hoped made maps a more social experience.
For example, you could type the word "pizza" into Spotsetter and be presented with personalised results compiled about restaurants your friends rated highly and relevant, and well-reviewed places nearby.
Interestingly, Spotsetter, which last year claimed it had five million users and 40 million venues on hand, said in a blog post earlier this year that its recommendations service would "work like magic" on wearable devices, hinting that it might make an appearance on Apple's rumoured iWatch, which is tipped to debut in October.
As well as putting it into the iWatch, Apple likely will use Spotsetter to bolster its Maps application in order to finally challenge Google.
While Apple has yet to announce the acquisition, Lee posted a note on the Spotsetter website that seems to confirm the reported deal.
He wrote, "With fondest emotions, I'm announcing that we are closing down Spotsetter app. We still have big dreams for personalized search for places and look forward to seeing great progress in this area. Thank you everyone for your support over the past years!"
Lee has also updated his Linkedin profile to show that he now works for Apple.
We have contacted Apple for more information. µ

Sylpheed: Issues http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/ 2014-05-12T21:11:21Z Sylpheed Redmine Feature #201 (New): DANE/TLSA support http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/201 2014-05-12T21:11:21Z Georg Schmalhofer
Dear Sylpheed team,

posteo.de, a small German e-mail provider that recently received some attention because of its focus on protecting its users' privacy, has announced today that they implemented DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities) for encrypted transport of e-mails.

The concept sounds quite exciting and seems to be much safer than TLS/SSL, as certificates are verified using secured DNS entries, preventing MITM attacks or attacks using fake certificates:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication_of_Named_Entities

Would it be possible to add DANE support to Sylpheed?
Posteo seems to be the first e-mail provider to use this protocol, but hopefully other providers will follow.

Some links:

Thanks!
 Feature #200 (New): Individual check interval for each account http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/200 2014-05-08T07:56:05Z A K firstname.lastname@example.com
For mail servers with minimal check interval restriction and common speedup of check process (нigh priority - often, low priority - rare).
 Bug #199 (New): Can only reply or forward e-mail with US-ASCII encoding with US-ASCII http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/199 2014-05-07T08:47:06Z Byrial Jensen email@example.com
When I reply to or forward an e-mail message which is sent to me with 7-bit US-ASCII encoding, the built-in editor in Sylpheed will not accept typing of any characters not in the US-ASCII character set. This is a major problem. My outgoing character encoding is set to UTF-8 in the preferences, so I expect to be able to use any characters in replies and forward messages.

Sylpheed version is 3.4.0beta7
OS is Linux (lubuntu 14.04)
 Bug #198 (New): document mbox locking method http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/198 2014-04-30T08:07:44Z Ricardo Mones
This has been notified recently in the mailing list (http://www.sraoss.jp/pipermail/sylpheed/2014-April/006009.html), and now filed as Debian bug #746389

Since this is a upstream issue affecting all distros I'm forwarding it here.

A configure flag to allow selection of the mbox locking method would be even better than documenting it :-)
 Bug #197 (Confirmed): Notification window does not show subjects / senders http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/197 2014-04-10T06:33:31Z X. W.
Dear Sylpheed developer(s),

I just noticed something:

On the following picture:

https://twitter.com/hiro_sylpheed/status/302340310816681984/photo/1

the notification window shows the subjects and senders of the new messages.

But for me the notification window only shows "Sylpheed: X new message(s)" and nothing else.

Is this a bug?

Regards
 Bug #196 (Confirmed): Common Name is only validated if no Subject Alternative Name is present http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/196 2014-04-08T16:20:04Z mei se firstname.lastname@example.com
There are certificates in the wild with Subject Alternative Names defined but without a valid general DNS name set. For example something like this:

 Subject: C=DE, …, email@example.com Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption Public-Key: (2048 bit) Modulus: … X509v3 extensions: … X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: email:email@example.com Signature Algorithm: …

Such certificates are currently rejected even if the Common Name would be valid.

matches_subject_alternative_name function in ssl_hostname_validation.c returns only SSL_HOSTNAME_NO_SAN_PRESENT (case one), SSL_HOSTNAME_MATCH_NOT_FOUND (case two) or a positive match we don't have to worry about, because we have found the hostname.

So if case one is returned, everything is fine, because line 274 is true and matches_common_name is called in the next step. But if case two is returned, witch means no hostname matched in Subject Alternative Names, matches_common_name is not called and the certificate is rejected.

I would suggest the following patch:

 Index: libsylph/ssl_hostname_validation.c =================================================================== --- libsylph/ssl_hostname_validation.c (revision 3380) +++ libsylph/ssl_hostname_validation.c (working copy) @@ -271,7 +271,7 @@ // First try the Subject Alternative Names extension result = matches_subject_alternative_name(hostname, server_cert); - if (result == SSL_HOSTNAME_NO_SAN_PRESENT) { + if ((result == SSL_HOSTNAME_NO_SAN_PRESENT) || (result == SSL_HOSTNAME_MATCH_NOT_FOUND)) { // Extension was not found: try the Common Name result = matches_common_name(hostname, server_cert); }

 Feature #190 (New): Enable toolbar icons & keyboard shortcuts in mail windows http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/190 2014-03-31T21:53:19Z Georg Schmalhofer
Hello!

Currently, when opening e-mails in separate windows you cannot do anything except read, as no toolbar is visible and keyboard shortcuts are disabled. In order to reply, print, mark as spam etc. you have to go back to Sylpheed's main window.

I would find it much more convenient if the toolbar and keyboard shortcuts used in Sylpheed's main window could be enabled for separate mail windows as well (like it is done already when composing mails).

Thank you very much!
 Feature #187 (New): Add xz release tarball http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/187 2014-03-31T11:05:39Z Ricardo Mones
Would be nice to be able to make tar.xz release tarballs to save space and bandwidth:

 Bug #186 (New): Win32: GTK+ themes do not work http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/186 2014-03-30T13:40:46Z X. W.
Dear Sylpheed developer(s),

recently I tried to use a GTK+ theme on Audacious 3.5-beta1 Win32 (which uses GTK+ 3) by copying the appropriate theme folder from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Zukitwo?content=140562 to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\audacious-3.5-beta1-win32\share\themes

and then editing:

C:\Program Files (x86)\audacious-3.5-beta1-win32\etc\gtk-3.0\settings.ini

to make it look like this:

[Settings] gtk-theme-name = Zukitwo gtk-icon-theme-name = Faenza gtk-font-name = Segoe UI 9 gtk-auto-mnemonics = 1

This works like a charm and IMHO looks a heck of a lot better than the default Win32 GTK+ theme.

So, then I tried to do the same with Sylpheed 3.4.0rc Win32, by copying the appropriate theme folder from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Zukitwo?content=140562 to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Sylpheed\share\themes

and then editing:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Sylpheed\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc

to make it look like this:

gtk-theme-name = "Zukitwo"

But it does not work :(.

Tested on Win8.1 x64.

Could you please fix that?

It would be much appreciated.

Regards
 Feature #185 (New): MailDir++ and Mix format support http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/185 2014-03-28T07:29:36Z Hans Ginzel firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello!

Thank you for Sylpheed Mail.

Please, add support for MailDir++ and MIX folders. The source code could be taken/shaerd (library?) from/with UW IMAP.

Best regards,
HG
 Feature #182 (New): Please add support for the IMAP QUOTA extension (RFC 2087) http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/182 2014-03-22T23:50:33Z X. W.
Dear Sylpheed developer(s),

please add support for the IMAP QUOTA extension (RFC 2087), so that it becomes possible to check the quota of IMAP accounts/mailboxes in Sylpheed.

Link:

http://tools.ietf.org/search/rfc2087

Thunderbird already does have this feature (it's possible to check the quota inside Thunderbird) and there even is an extension available which makes the quota display in Thunderbird's status bar, see: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/display-quota/.

By the way, I do not speak Japanese, but it looks like this already had been requested some time earlier on the japanese Sylpheed mailing list, see:

http://www.sraoss.jp/pipermail/sylpheed-jp/2008-October/000685.html

It would be much appreciated.

Regards
 Feature #181 (New): Please add IMAP offline feature/configurability to Sylpheed http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/181 2014-03-22T14:59:25Z X. W.
Dear Sylpheed developer(s),

I just tried out Trojitá:

http://trojita.flaska.net/

for the first time (version 0.4.1 Win32).

So far, I like Sylpheed better ;).

However, Trojitá still has some features I liked.

One of them is the "Offline" feature, which can be configured via:

Menubar -> IMAP -> Settings... -> Offline tab

On that tab you have three options (via radiobuttons):

[] Don't use cache
[] Remember messages for X days <--- X can be adjusted
[] Store forever

Could you please add such a feature/configurability to Sylpheed as well?

Of course, maybe this could be done even better in Sylpheed, but it's what Trojitá offers and Sylpheed doesn't, at least as far as I can tell. Therefore I am suggesting it like that.

It would be much appreciated.

Regards
 Feature #180 (New): Please add "Show IMAP server information" feature to Sylpheed http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/180 2014-03-22T14:48:32Z X. W.
Dear Sylpheed developer(s),

I just tried out Trojitá:

http://trojita.flaska.net/

for the first time (version 0.4.1 Win32).

So far, I like Sylpheed better ;).

However, Trojitá still has some features I liked.

One of them is the "IMAP Server Information" feature, which can be accessed via:

Menubar -> IMAP -> Debugging -> IMAP Server Information...

What is does is, it opens a dialog (window) which shows you the capabilities/features of the IMAP server that you are connected to (e.g. IMAP IDLE and so on) and also shows you what type of IMAP server you are connected to (e.g. Dovecot and so on).

Could you please add such a feature to Sylpheed as well?

It would be much appreciated.

Dear Sylpheed developer(s),

coming from:

http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/177

I want to request this:

Could you please make it possible to configure which inbox gets opened by the "Open inbox on startup" option?

Currently (with Sylpheed 3.4.0beta8), the "Open inbox on startup" option always opens the inbox of the first MH mailbox.

But I would like to make it open the inbox of an IMAP mailbox.

Could you please add an option to configure it?

It would be much appreciated.

Regards

Last time when we talked about How to change misspelled Facebook page name, it was a post where we were trying to find a solution to misspelled Facebook name. I talked about my WordPress free setup page which was initially misspelled and there was no way to change the name.
Finally Facebook added this feature to change the name of Misspelled facebook fan page name. Though there is a small limitation which is: your fan page should not have more than 100 members. This is to prevent the buying and selling of fan pages.
How to change Misspelled name?
In order to change the misspelled name, go to manage Facebook pages page. Click on edit page in front of page whose name you wish to change. Make sure current no. of fans should not be more than 100. In case if you have more than 100 fans, delete few fans.
On the next page under basic information you can change the page name.
Here you can check page which has issue with name and now is updated and fixed. http://www.facebook.com/WpFreeSetup. Thanks to jaydip for informing me about this.
Do let us know if you have any Facebook page which is misspelled ? Go ahead and change the name, but don't forget if you have more than 100 fans, you can't change the name.

Esperanto po polsku
"Esperanto po polsku" means "Esperanto for Polish Speakers" (source language: Polish, lerning language: Esperanto). Why this language? Because I always wanted to learn esperanto, but without memrise it wasn't so fun (I like idea of artificial universal second language - I think, that only using an artificial language as international language makes all people truly equal).
Great! I have set that up for you, please let me know if I can do anything else to help!

Aria's Enchanted Forest 1st Birthday Soiree (50 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Aria's 1st Birthday in the Enchanted Forest was inspired by a combination of things--including movies like Fantastic Mr. Fox and Shrek and stories like Little Red Riding Hood, Goldy Locks and the Three Bears, and Snow White. Really anything that's ever happened in the "Enchanted Forest" was fair game for this party and guests were encouraged to dress in "Woodland Attire". While there were no adults that followed this "suggestion", there WAS a little lumberjack, a beautiful fairy, a baby butterfly, a cute bear and the birthday girl was Little Red Riding Hood. I also made a bunch of felt animal masks for kids to play with as well. There was a large amount of cuteness at this party!!
The decor included birch branches, wooden crates, birch vases, lanterns, bunting banners, moss, rocks, wood slabs, succulents, ferns, dahlias, hydrangea, billy balls, butterflies and a bunch of other fun things!
An adorable favor station allowed kids of all ages to choose up to 3 age-appropriate favors of their choice as well as many gummy bears as they wanted. Games and activities included a Ball Toss Game into birch buckets, Bean Bag Toss/Cornhole, a water table, a mini circus tent and of course all of the fun animal masks I designed.
The food for the party was AMAZING and totally made it feel like an Enchanted Forest. We decided to handle all of the side dishes and desserts ourselves (the Grandmas, Aunts and myself (Aria's Mom)) and catered in the Entrees from Q BBQ and Brown's Chicken Catering. This allowed us to focus on making some amazing themed dishes. We had a "Poison Apple Salad", Potato Salad, "3 Little Pigs in a Blanket", "Puss in Boots' Caprese Swords", "Magical Mushrooms", "Acorn" Donuts, Mini "Acorns", Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Twigs, Black Forest Cupcakes (both alcoholic and kid-friendly versions), Fruit of the Forest Pies, "S'mores on a Stick" and I made an awesome Smash Cake decorated with fresh flowers and foliage and topped with a custom mini bunting banner. Drinks included pink lemonade, cider ale, anf assorted bottled beer, pop and juice boxes.
Party highlights include kids in cute costumes, the birthday girl playing with faux strawberries, lots of laughter and love, and Aria ended up being so sleepy by the time we presented her the smash cake that she barely smashed it! After a nap, Aria tried again and got a little messier, but she seems to be more of a dainty eater than we expected.
It was an amazing party and Aria and all of the guests loved it--I look forward to her one day looking back at these photos and thinking "Wow, I had an awesome 1st birthday Mom!"

UVU softball: Pitching shines as UVU completes sweep of Santa Clara
OREM, Utah — Pitchers Tiffany Mills and Josi Summers each went the distance and allowed just one combined run as Utah Valley University took both games of a Pacific Coast Softball Conference doubleheader from Santa Clara University. UVU won 5-0 in game one before taking a 4-1 victory in the encore.
The win gave the Wolverines (31-17, 13-7) a 4-0 series sweep of the Broncos (6-43, 3-17). It was the first PCSC sweep of the season for UVU and pushed its win total to 30 for the second consecutive season.
"Our pitchers were great all weekend," head coach Rachel Hartgrove said. "Tiffany got the shutout and Josi had one rough inning but really settled in from there. I would have liked to see a little more run production, but our offense did what it needed to do to back up our pitching."
UVU got all it needed in a five-run bottom of the second, blowing things open in game one. After senior Charlee Cisneros singled into left-center with one out, the Wolverines benefited from a pair of Bronco miscues on their way to the five-spot. Marie Williams grounded to third base but reached safely when the second baseman covering first missed the bag. A Morgan Summers infield single then loaded the bases and Amanda Robinson worked a walk for an RBI and the first run of the game.
The bases still loaded, another SCU error made the score 3-0. Kelli Fox chopped one right back at Bronco pitcher Carissa Theis, but in trying to catch the lead runner at home, she airmailed the catcher, allowing Williams and Summers to scurry home.
With runners now on second and third, Krystin Jachim delivered the final runs of the frame when her liner into right-center plated Robinson and Fox. That was the last pitch Theis would throw, as she exited the game following the base hit with all five runs unearned.
The 5-0 lead would hold up as the only scoring inning of the ballgame. UVU pitcher Mills took care of the rest, throwing seven scoreless innings and allowing just three hits as she improved to 15-11 on the season. Honored before the game during the Senior Day festivities, she also struck out five hitters on 85 pitches.
Utah Valley found itself trailing for the first time in the series to start game two. Santa Clara broke through for a run in the top of the first inning against Josi Summers when Chiara Biagini's single scored Stephanie Fisher from third base. The two-out RBI was all SCU would take in the inning despite having Summers in a jam early on. The Broncos were able to put runners on second and third with just one out, but Jachim was able to throw out the lead runner at home off a Kelly Scribner groundout to save a run. Then, after the run had scored and two runners still in scoring position, Summers induced a pop-out to Krista Jensen.
It was the only blemish on an otherwise solid day for Summers. The sophomore kept SCU off the board from there and only allowed two more hits over the next six innings. Striking out four batters, she ultimately picked up the win and improved to 11-6 on the season.
Backing up their pitcher, the Wolverines got a pair of runs in both the second and third innings. With one away, UVU put together a string of four straight singles to pick up its first run in the second inning. Morgan Summers came through with the RBI after base hits from Jamie North, Cisneros and Williams preceded her. Then, after Robinson fouled out with the bases loaded, Fox delivered a two-out RBI when her infield single scored Cisneros.
