USC softball team eliminated by Texas
Published: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 12:56 a.m.
In Austin, Texas, South Carolina (34-25) threatened early and often against national No. 4 seed Texas (47-8), but the Longhorns got two home runs from Taylor Thom as the Longhorns won 6-0 to take the Austin Regional in front of 914 fans at McCombs Field on Sunday afternoon.
Thom's first trot came on a two-run blast on the first pitch she saw in the first. That scored Taylor Hoagland after she started the inning with a walk. Thom struck again in the fifth, again driving the first pitch over the wall in left center with the bases loaded this time to give Texas the 6-0 lead.
Gamecock freshman Katie Marks (8-8) took the loss, allowing six runs, five earned, on five hits and two walks in 4 1/3 innings.
The Gamecocks lose three starters and one pitcher off this squad, the first to record more than 30 wins in Beverly Smith's tenure.

This week (download here) the Geeks are excited to be talking with Paul Ingraham (@PainfulTweets) from SaveYourself.ca. Paul, a former Licensed Massage Therapist, writes extensively on the science of aches, pains, and injury. He has authored 8 books on various topics dealing with common sports related injuries such as ITBS, Plantar Fasciitis, and Shin Splints.
Paul discusses his approach to injuries and uses Raymond's ITBS issues to explain and debunk popular notions on this topic. His views on treatments for ITBS such as Foam rolling, Stretching, icing etc… are quite interesting.

FEARING TWP.-In the mid-19th century several German families settled in the hills of Washington County, which were no doubt reminiscent of the terrain in their Bavarian homeland. Here they established schools, churches and graveyards, including the St. Jacob's Church and Cemetery on Stanleyville Road in Fearing Township.
Donna Betts, 81, of Fearing Township is the last surviving member of St. Jacob's Church.
"St. Jacob's closed in 1942, and the cemetery was turned over to the township trustees in the early 1990s," she said. "It's still an active graveyard. I have a plot there."

A car passes St. Jacob's Church and Cemetery on Stanleyville Road Thursday morning. The 155-year-old church and graveyard was established by early German settlers.
The small wood frame church, surrounded by the graveyard, is located on a hillside overlooking Stanleyville Road, about a mile west of Stanleyville.
A plaque erected in front of the church building indicates immigrant families from the Palatinate area of West Germany founded St. Jacobs as The German Presbyterian Church in 1857, and the facility was constructed on one acre of land that had been purchased for $15.
"Rev. Daniel Hirsch conducted the dedication service and served as the first minister of the church," the plaque reads.
Fact Box
St. Jacob's Church and Cemetery
Church founded Feb. 7, 1857.
Church building and cemetery dedicated in 1859.
Located on left traveling east on Stanleyville Road (County 42), 0.1 mile beyond the intersection with Glendale Road (County 375), and approximately 1 mile west of Stanleyville.
Hirsch was born in Homberg, Germany in 1815 and was educated as a school teacher. He served as a schoolmaster in the village of Altenkirchen for several years, but in the late 1840s became identified with a rebellion against the Bavarian monarchy.
"The democratic movement was put down by the Bavarian government, and Hirsch was blacklisted and fired from his job, so he came to America," said local historian Kurt Ludwig of Marietta, whose German ancestors were among those early settlers.
Hirsch and his family left Germany in 1850 and traveled down the Ohio River to Washington County where they joined the community of other German families and he once again began serving as a teacher.
"But he was eventually called to be a pastor by the Berg Church congregation (also located in present-day Fearing Township)," Ludwig said, noting that Hirsch studied on his own to become a minister.
At that time the Berg Church was known as the First Evangelical German Church in Fearing Township.
Hirsch pastored at Berg between 1852 to 1872, Betts said, noting that he also ministered at St. Jacob's Church for six years after he dedicated the facility in 1859.
Frederick Charles Trapp ministered at St. Jacob's for several years, then Hirsch returned as pastor from 1873 until he retired in 1881. Hirsch died in 1893 and is buried in the Berg Church Cemetery along with his wife, Philippine Weiss, who died in 1907.
The original St. Jacob's Church building was destroyed by fire and the present building constructed sometime after 1872, according to records compiled by historian Millie Covey Fry. She said in 1881 the church's congregation was comprised of 19 German families, including five of the original families that established the church in 1857.

Good Omens
Aziraphale/Crowley, various local strangers
This story exists purely because I was hypothesizing about how Crowley's downstairs neighbor perceives him. From there, I got to thinking about London as they inhabit it—the neighborhoods in which they live, the locations they've made their regular haunts. Who watches them, I wonder, and what do they see in looking? I've broken this piece down into five different locations, one outside perspective for each.
You can't live somewhere or frequent a place for any length of time without others taking notice. In fact, you may not even notice
Harriet turns down the telly for a few seconds, straining to listen. She knows the sound of those footsteps by heart, partly because the young man who makes them has been living in the flat upstairs for about ten years now. The reason she really remembers them, however, is something she couldn't put her finger on for a very long while, but eventually figured out, and she's proud of that fact. He has the lightest, quickest footfalls she's ever heard: soft and smooth, as if he's scarcely touching the ground. She's seen him a goodly number of times, too. He's usually dressed in fine shirts, dark trousers, and a nice jacket, but can't hide the fact that he's all angles, really quite thin. In spite of that, his movements are graceful—swift, serpentine.
When they're getting home at the same time, which isn't often, he always holds the door for her, wearing a sheepish smile. He's handsome, Harriet supposes, in a starved-James-Dean kind of way, although she still doesn't know what color his eyes are because he's forever wearing an expensive pair of black sunglasses. She knows they're expensive because her son used to wear an identical pair. He was wearing them when he died at the wheel of his beloved sports car twenty years ago.
Harriet asked his name once, about six months ago, when she helped him up the stairs with an armful of pot-plants. He'd paused for a few seconds, fumbling his key into the lock, as if he wasn't accustomed to using it. "Anthony," he'd finally said, hastily scooping up the pots. "Pleased to meet you," he'd added, using his back to brace the door open behind him as he retreated into the flat, "and thanksss."
The lisp was sort of a shame, Harriet thought. She wouldn't talk much, either, if she had a speech impediment. It didn't detract from his looks, though, not a bit.
Harriet might have worried for Anthony, taken him for one of those lonely, depressed corporate sorts prone to eventual suicide, but he seemed to have something resembling a social life. About a year after he moved in, he started bringing somebody home every other week or so. In truth, he wasn't at home all that much; Harriet couldn't help but wonder if he spend most of his daylight hours (and his nighttime hours, too, several times a week) wherever his guest lived. She knew it was always the same person because the footsteps that accompanied Anthony's up the stairs were always the same: deliberate, laden with consideration.
There's no way it could have been a lady-friend, not with footfalls like that.
Today, it's the same set of accompanying feet. What's unusual is, this is the third time in a week, and they seem to be coming and going together. She's never seen Anthony's mystery guest, though she's heard their voices drifting down through the ceiling at odd hours, quite faint, engaged in animated conversation. She knows that they drink quite a lot of wine, because Anthony's recycling bin is always full to the brim with glass bottles, which are always washed with the labels carefully removed. It's a pity, that, as she'd really like to know what they're drinking. Anthony has good taste, just like her son. Some of the bottles look even older than she is.
Harriet switches off the telly, listening as the door upstairs opens and the two sets of footsteps cross the threshold and proceed to make their slow way across her ceiling. She supposes she knows what's happening, in an abstract sort of way. She's heard about people like this, of course—in the newspapers, magazines, sitcoms, everywhere. As a believing Catholic, she's not sure it's right, but what she
sure of is that anything keeping that nice young man from an untimely death can't be
Gavin uses the alley behind the bookshop because it's safe, convenient, and the bookshop is hardly ever open.
. It's inhabited, anyway, as he can see lights in either the flat above it or through the back-room window on most nights. An older chap owns the place. Glasses, greying fly-away blond hair. Gavin's only caught him coming in the back door once or twice, always mumbles a hello or a good evening and makes sure to keep his arms covered. The gent always smiles politely, returns the greeting, and goes in. Never says anything more.
Anybody else would have reported him, even here. People don't seem to remember what it means to mind their own fucking business. On nights when he's careless, too high to think of anything except how good it feels, he leaves sharps behind, but they're always gone when he returns. Somebody else could be taking them, he supposes, using them, which is really fucking stupid, not even
does that, but still. He doubts it. He thinks the bookshop owner disposes of them. Bless the bastard.
Gavin got a right scare the first time the guy called Crowley came knocking 'round the back. He had been just blasted enough that, with those dark glasses and his furtive demeanor, the guy looked like he might have been hired by somebody to whom he owed a considerable amount of money. Instead, the guy had slid his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose, just a little, blinked (it was the light from the upstairs window, that or the smack, that made his eyes glitter like Carter's first glimpse into Tut's tomb), and said, "Who're you? A customer? He's not open."
"I'm nobody," Gavin had said, defensively, still a bit creeped out. "Who're
"Crowley. Listen, is anybody home in there? You seem like you might know."
"Light's on upstairs," Gavin had said, shrugging. "'Course he's not open."
Crowley had snorted, half smiling. "Tell him I called."
Of course, Gavin didn't remember much after that and woke up on that very spot the next morning with a pounding headache and an old tartan blanket draped over him. He almost knocked over a half-cold cup of tea that was sat at his elbow in the dust.
That had been at least a couple of years ago. He knows now that Crowley normally uses the front door and he and the bookshop owner spend long hours drinking and arguing about really daft shit. Or at least it
like arguing. It might just be healthy debate. Gavin can't tell if they're lovers or enemies. Whatever they are, there's genuine affection involved, and it gives him the warm-fuzzies.
He's the only junkie in Soho with a pair of guardian angels. He hopes they'll stay.
The Ritz
Lapsang Souchong and Earl Grey are back. Rashid has been the one fielding that weekly, sometimes
- or
-weekly order, since at least '87. They usually order their tea and their food separately, never opting for one of the Afternoon Tea options. Just as well, Rashid thinks: those are kind of a rip-off, and they'd get boring if you were dining in the Palm Court several times a week—which these gents frequently did.
What's unusual to start is that neither one takes milk with his tea, at least not when ordering his usual. Sometimes, Lapsang Souchong becomes Darjeeling and Earl Grey becomes Rose Congou. It's the opposite of what Rashid would have expected, but then, the opposites-factor is what makes these two regulars so interesting.
There's their looks, for starters. Rashid likes to imagine the slightly older-looking gentleman is a retired lecturer from one of London's many universities, or perhaps a senior curator at the British Museum, and that the younger one is a celebrity in disguise. He knows the younger one's name is Anthony J. Crowley. It's usually his credit card they use to charge their indulgences. When they're in the mood for wine, Lapsang Souchong becomes a well-aged French red, whatever they have in at the moment, and Earl Grey becomes a dry, tangy German white. Beaujolais and Riesling.
If Rashid wanted, he could probably find out what Lapsang Souchong's name is. He's served them often enough. Even though he knows Crowley's name, he still prefers to think of the twitchy young man as Earl Grey. He's never seen what's behind the sunglasses, but it's been an item of burning curiosity amongst the staff for years.
Today, Sunday, there's a sense of rightness and quiet. Outside, he hears birdsong that reminds him of home. Rashid drops sugar cubes in each tiny glass bowl—refined white for Lapsang Souchong, demerara for Earl Grey—and readies the tea tray for delivery.
Ruth doesn't mind the competition turning up on her doorstep. On the contrary, she quite anticipates it, because Mr. Fell never pays her a visit unless he intends to buy. She's been meaning to visit his shop in Soho for years, but she can't seem to work up the nerve. She's heard he keeps odd hours, and it's not the sort of place she'd like to go after dusk. So, she lets Mr. Fell come to her.
She took over the shop when her husband passed on. They'd had no children—never wanted any—and their marriage had been long and happy. Ruth thinks of the shop as her husband's legacy, shelves full of letters and stories he's telling her from wherever he's gone, some of which she'll never get to read because they sell before she manages to reach them. She's only halfway through the inventory, and new books come in by the week. It's getting difficult to keep track of what she's read or not read, but she manages. The poetry section is her favorite, because those books don't sell as well and are likely to stick around for far longer than the rest.
Mr. Fell is interested in antiquarian items—old Bibles and religious treatises—but he occasionally brings along a friend, this good-looking younger chap whose name starts with a C, who has an interest in poetry. Or at least Ruth
he has an interest in poetry, because he stands there flipping through book after book in the section with intense interest while she and Mr. Fell exchange gossip and trade secrets (granted, it's more of the former than the latter, as Mr. Fell doesn't actually seem to know the first thing about running a bookshop with an eye for turning a profit).
Sometimes, C will take his time looking through a book, as if he's reading page by page instead of just skimming. He's a quick reader, regardless; she's certain he's read almost every book in the section by now. On one occasion, she could have sworn he looked disappointed to discover that she'd finally sold the signed first-edition of Michael Smith's
Times and Locations
. An obscure title, certainly, but worth having.
It had taken her about thirty seconds to remember that Mr. Fell had been the one to purchase it, about a month ago. It had also taken her far less time to realize how fond of the lad Mr. Fell truly was. He'd steal sidelong glances, as if concerned that they were leaving him out. C always read on, oblivious.
Today, Mr. Fell has decided to purchase a new scholarly edition of the Wycliffite Bible. Before wrapping the book, Ruth takes a piece of shop stationery—
From Maddow Books, With Compliments
—and scrawls, simply,
Tell him
She slips it inside the front cover and says, "That'll be twelve pounds, then."
St. James's Park
If secrets had market value, then Geoffrey MacGregor would be a very wealthy man.
As it stands, he's not. He's chief gardener and has been for nigh on forty years now, although he doesn't tend to dwell on that, as time is irrelevant when you're fairly happy with your job and know that your employers know you're the best in the business. Also, he's not afraid of the pelicans.
Maintaining the grounds of a large royal park, you see a lot. In fact, you see a little of
, even some things you wish you
seen. During the day, it's mostly the usual—loud teenagers with piercings in odd places and substances they oughtn't be using in public, couples snogging away on picnic blankets as if they think they've landed a private room at the Ritz, and so forth. Nighttime attracts considerably more interesting characters, which sometimes necessitates phoning the police.
It's not entirely sordid, of course. In fact, that's why Geoffrey's stuck with it for so long: he loves the park and all its inhabitants, even the bloody pelicans. He loves the swarms of Asian and Italian tourists with their incessantly snapping cameras, the subdued middle-aged French couples arguing as they smoke on the bridges, the schoolchildren brought out for a romp in the middle of a museum-ridden field trip.
Two, he loves in particular, because they've been coming ever since he started.
When Geoffrey
consider time in conventional terms, he will grant that forty years is a long time. He will also grant that, although the strangers who pass through each day are almost too many to count, he never forgets a face as long as it shows up a second or third time. Likewise, those faces age, just as his own has, although he rarely looks in the mirror anymore. He can see himself in the water clearly enough.
The two he's thinking of can't be thought of in conventional terms, because they don't age. In fact, not even their clothing has changed all that much; but then, they're the sort to dress in a manner that the fashion industry would probably call
. Dark trousers, white shirts, and jackets never go out of style. Neither do tweed and tartan, regardless what his Mary might have said up till her dying day.
Forty years. Forty
they've been coming, these two men, at least once a week (and sometimes more), and never has either of them appeared to have aged. The younger one sits somewhere around a handsome thirty-five, Geoffrey supposes. His companion might have ten years on him, but it's a graceful decade if it's a day.
They normally stand on one of the bridges, idly tossing bits of baguette or tea biscuit down to the waterfowl. Sometimes, of a Sunday, they stake out a bench and don't leave for hours, sipping tea from a thermos or whiskey from a flask. Unlike the stuff the teenagers bring in, whiskey, in Geoffrey's view, doesn't count as contraband, so he's inclined to let them be. In forty years, he's never said a word to them, and they've never spared him a glance. Some things, he reckons, are best left alone.
He'll watch over them, though, until the day he's gone. He knows they'll still be here, talking, feeding the ducks, and loving each other as much as he's come to love them.

I thought I'd be able to write it last night, but I spent most of this morning on it because figuring out the various viewpoints and who they would be, precisely, required some conversation-tennis with my husband. I love that he's so willing to hear me out re: fanfic ideas. Thank you, as ever <3

ONLY ON 12: Former YDC director personnel file reveals 'broken lock' night of escapes (WRDW-TV, November 10, 2012)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- News 12 now has the former YDC director's personnel file.
Ronald Brawner announced his resignation on Oct. 29 after being suspended following the escape of five inmates.
It is a 56-page file that begins with his resignation letter, talks about his salary, and in writing, how officials say he dropped the ball the night of the escapes.
You will also find certificates from Brenau University and Georgia Military College; references praising his strengths, calling Brawner trustworthy, caring and enthusiastic.
But, everything ultimately falls on him, so when five inmates escaped almost a month ago, new documents reveal Brawner didn't respond accurately.
In the memo, a DJJ regional supervisor reprimands the former director for "significant problems with his inadequate supervision."
On the night of the escape, the document notes a lock was broken and it was never reported. It also points to the notification time in which the guards contacted the Sheriff's Office.
The call was made two hours later. The move almost cost Brawner his job until he called it quits on Oct. 29.
The documents also say the youth were out of control prior to moving to the gym. It says guards had issues with counts and moving the youth and they cite that broken lock.
Director of Security Melvin Womble is now the acting director.

Saturday, Jan. 14 • 7 p.m. CT
University Center (7,500) • Hammond, La.
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
LIVE STATS: LionSports.net | AUDIO: GoIslanders.com
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team returns to the road in search of its second straight victory, when it takes on Southeastern Louisiana in a Saturday night contest in Hammond. The game will be carried live on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX and GoIslanders.com with Steven King on the call.
The Islanders are back in the win column after a 50-49 victory over UTSA on Wednesday night at the Convocation Center. Terence Jones had four threes in the game, including the winning basket with 1:07 left on the clock, to lift Texas A&M - Corpus Christi to the win. The Islanders held a 37-20 halftime lead, then was able to hold off UTSA's late surge to emerge victorious.
Southeastern is coming off a 99-59 win over Champion Baptist that snapped a five-game losing streak for the Lions. It was the first home game for Southeastern in nearly a month, as it last defeated Southern on Dec. 12 in overtime with a 65-61 triumph. The Lions have been without leading scorer Brandon Fortenberry for the last seven games due to injury.
• The Islanders shot .571 (16-for-28) from the floor in the first half at UTSA, their best shooting half of the season. That eclipsed the first half against Denver, where they went 11-of-21 (.524).
• Myron Dempsey has grabbed at least 10 rebounds in five of the last six games, averaging 9.7 boards over that span.
• The Islanders are shooting .444 from the field in conference play, including .532 (57-of-107) from inside the three-point line. The Islanders shot just .368 in non-conference action.
• Chris Hawkins-Mast has six straight double-digit scoring games. He is averaging 13.6 points over the last nine, including a career-high 22 at West Virginia.
• Johnathan Jordan had a career-high nine assists to just one turnover against McNeese State on Saturday. Jordan is second in the conference with 3.9 assists per game.
• After Terence Jones had a 1-for-23 stretch from beyond the arc, he hit four of his last 11, including the winner, at UTSA.
• Nate Maxey matched a school record with seven blocks against the Cowboys last Saturday. Maxey has already set a new mark for blocks by a freshman with 31 on the year.
• The Islanders have used seven different starting lineups, with 10 different players represented.
Southeastern comes into Saturday's contest with a 6-8 overall record. The Lions had lost five in a row, all on the road, before a 99-59 win over Champion Baptist, a team that plays in the Association of Christian College Athletics, on Tuesday night. The Lions' three Division I victories have come against Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana Tech and Southern.
Southeastern Louisiana has been without leading scorer Brandon Fortenberry (17.6 ppg), who has missed the last seven games for the Lions. Transfers Daron Populist (LSU) and Elgin Bailey (Mississippi State) are both making solid contributions for Southeastern. Roosevelt Johnson is averaging 10.6 points and 7.1 boards on the year to go along with a team-leading 13 blocks.
Terence Jones' go-ahead three with 1:07 to play lifted the Islanders to a 50-49 victory over UTSA on Wednesday. Jones led the way with 12 points for the Islanders (2-13, 1-2 Southland), who snapped an 11-game losing streak with the win. UTSA nearly pulled off a tremendous comeback, as the Islanders held a 37-20 halftime lead. But Jones' clutch three proved the difference, as Melvin Johnson III's desperation three at the buzzer rimmed out.
The Islanders are 5-1 all-time against Southeastern Louisiana, including a 1-1 mark in Hammond.The lone loss for A&M - Corpus Christi came in the team's last trip to the University Center, a 70-68 defeat on Feb. 25, 2009.
Last year, the game came down to a game-winning three from the top of the key by Horace Bond that lifted the Islanders to a 62-59 win at the American Bank Center. The Islanders are 3-0 against the Lions in Corpus Christi in addition to winning their opening round game in the 2007 Southland Tournament.
Junior college transfer Myron Dempsey has been an impact player on both ends. Against Utah State, he delivered his finest performance, tallying a double-double with 16 points and 15 rebounds in leading the Islanders to the upset victory.
The long, athletic rebounder is currently second in the Southland Conference with his 8.3 rebounds per game after averaging 9.7 per game over his last six outings, five of which have seen him hit double digits. Fifty-four of his 124 boards have come on the offensive end, a league-best 3.6 per contest.
He has also heated up from the field as of late. He has gone 26-for-49 (.531) from the field in the last four after going 8-for-36 (.222) over the previous five. He is second on the team both in blocks (14) and steals (20) after swatting three shots and garnering a pair of swipes at UTSA. However, his weakness is his ability at the line, where he is just 18-for-41 (.439).
But looking closer at the stats, it is amazing to see just how Dempsey has collected his points this year. The St. Petersburg, Fla., native has scored a total of 132 points. Of those, 108 have come from in the paint, including 54 of his 57 field goals. The junior also has a team-leading 45 second-chance points.
The Islanders have seen a solid improvement in their offense as of late. The Islanders are shooting .444 from the field in conference play, including .532 (57-of-107) from inside the three-point line.The Islanders shot just .368 in non-conference action.
The UTSA game was the ultimate example, as the Islanders had a season-high .571 shooting percentage in the first half (16-of-28) and went on to hit 46.8 percent on the game. Still, the Islanders struggled from beyond the arc, going just 6-of-21. That means that A&M - Corpus Christi shot 16-of-26 (.615) from inside the arc in San Antonio.
After being a role player in his first season for the Islanders, senior Chris Hawkins-Mast has emerged as one of the team's go-to guys on the offensive end. Hawkins-Mast is second on the team with his 12.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest.
On Dec. 17 against WVU, he delivered a career-best 22 points on 6-of-12 shooting and an 8-of-10 performance at the line.
He went just 15-for-50 (30 percent) from the field over the next four games before going 5-for-11 to lead the team with 15 points against Lamar on Jan. 4. He followed that up with 13 against McNeese State last Saturday, and then posted with 10 points at UTSA, all of which came in the paint. He is second on the team, behind Myron Dempsey, with 102 points in the paint.
Hawkins-Mast now has six straight games scoring in double digits, and is averaging 13.6 points per game over his last nine. He is tied with Terence Jones for a team-best 11 games with 10-plus points.
The native of Washington, D.C., went by the name "Chris Mast" a year ago, but chose to use his full legal name to honor his mother, whose maiden name is Hawkins.

Whether your athlete's next level is college, high school, travel or all stars like all parents you want her to stand out from the crowd; to be noticed and given the opportunity she deserves.
I have been an all star and travel coach evaluating players for over a decade and there is no question certain athletes stand out from the pack. I have also spoken to numerous top high school, travel and college softball coaches about what makes an athlete stand out for them.
Here are the 5 Keys to Make Your Athlete Stand Out from the Crowd:
1. Hustle - a given but not seen as often as you'd think. Nothing peaks a coach's interest more than maximum effort. When an athlete hesitates or holds back it is an indication that she does not trust herself or she's simply afraid --not endearing traits to a coach. And to a coach effort is always a choice, so if a player "chooses" not to give 100% in a game or tryout I watch I'm going to wonder if or when she will ever do it? Hustle demonstrates commitment to the team.
Here are specific things your athlete can do to demonstrate hustle:
a. Diving for balls...get dirty and make a play!
b. Sliding at every base
c. Running out every ball as hard as possible
d. Running the bases at full speed
e. Hustling on and off the field every time
f. Using her voice to call balls or help teammates on the field and in the dugout
2. Attitude - this may be a tough key to measure in a limited exposure scenario, which is why college coaches prefer to evaluate a prospect several times. As one Top 10 college coach told me, "We can teach them how to hit but we can't teach a good attitude." Again, attitude is a choice that like hustle is easy to notice.
Here are specific things your athlete can do to show she's got a great attitude:
a. Smile - it may seem simple but coaches love a kid who loves the game and shows it
b. Encourage teammates
c. Be vocal in the dugout
d. Be the first one to grab equipment after the game, or clean the dugout
e. Be respectful 100% of the time to her coaches, umpires, teammates and parents (believe me...the college coaches ALWAYS watches this to determine attitude)
f. Body language - don't slump the shoulders or kick the dirt after a strike out or error (a killer)
3. Intelligence - yes, softball IQ is really easy and quick for a coach to judge. A player that demonstrates questionable decision making will not stay at the top of the recruiting list very long. Certainly your athlete's grasp of the game is relative to her experience and quality of coaching she has received. However, when a player shows superior intelligence in making the right decisions on the field all coaches write down a "plus" next to her name...I guarantee it. Face it...dumb plays lose games, it's that simple.
Here are specific things your athlete can do to demonstrate her intelligence:

SMEs give the thumbs up to banking reform
Most SMEs (65%) say the proposed ring-fencing of banking activities will make banking safer. But only 21% think it will make it easier to borrow money. These are the findings of the latest quarterly RSM Tenon Business Barometer survey, carried out by You Gov. The survey also finds that 60% of respondents welcome Government plans for a state-run business bank, while 18% are against it. Tom Maclennan, head of lender services at RSM Tenon, said: "People believe, I think rightly, that while this change would make retail banking safer, it will make no difference to their ability to borrow."
Email avalanches are crushing workers
Mishaps involving emails are becoming increasingly common because of the sheer volume of emails that workers have to deal with, according to research conducted by Varonis. In a survey, 62% of respondents reported a mishap as a result of sending an email to the wrong person or with the wrong content. The survey found that 78% of respondents receive up to 100 emails per day and nearly a quarter receive 100-500 emails on a daily basis. In addition, 10% of workers now have more than 10,000 emails in their inbox. There are, says the study, three styles of email management: 34% are "filers" (emptying their inbox into folders), 17% are hoarders (who never delete but tag and keep in a few folders), and 44% combine both practices. And 6% admit they have totally lost control of their email.
The British public says business ethics are in decline
An annual survey conducted for the Institute of Business Ethics has found that the public perception of businesses has taken a serious knock. In 2011, 58% of people said that British businesses generally behaved "very" or "fairly" ethically. In 2012, that dropped to 48%. One of the biggest concerns raised by respondents is executive pay, but the report also comes at a time when price-fixing and tax avoidance among big firms are hitting the headlines. Philippa Foster Back, IBE director, said: "This year's results should act as another wake-up call to business that action needs to be taken in order to restore trust with the British public."
The Trainline gives small firms a new direction

Company expands fabrication shop
Published: Sunday, January 26, 2014 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 25, 2014 at 4:55 p.m.
Morgan City-based New Industries has announced the completion of the expansion of its Morgan City piping fabrication shop.
The expansion adds an additional 10,000 square feet of space, two additional overhead cranes and an automatic submerged arc welding system. The piping fabrication shop is used for manufacturing subsea piping components and assemblies.
"This new addition is a part of our ongoing commitment to increasing our capacity and efficiency in the fabrication of subsea equipment," said company President Bill New.
The expansion doubles the company's available capacity for piping fabrication and is the response of New Industries to a growing volume of customer orders for subsea piping components.

Geo's cupcakes are umirrific! You can talk about the different shapes listed in this recipe while making these cupcakes.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
In a shallow bowl, tint 1 cup of the vanilla frosting with the blue food coloring. Tint 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting bright yellow and spoon into a resealable bag. Tint 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting dark blue and spoon into a resealable bag. Tint 2 tablespoons of frosting red and spoon into a resealable bag. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting pale pink--just add a bit of the red food coloring.
Heat the blue frosting in a shallow bowl in the microwave for 10 seconds, stir well. Continue to microwave for 5-second intervals, stirring well, until the thickness is similar to that of slightly whipped cream.
Dip the top of a cupcake in the melted frosting up to the foil liner. Allow the excess frosting to drip off. Invert and place on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
Snip a small corner from the bag with the yellow frosting. Notice the triangle shape after snipping the corner of the bag! Pipe an oval over the bottom third of cupcake as Geo's face. Fill in with some of the light pink frosting.
Add the black candies as the eyes. Snip a very small corner from the bags containing the dark blue and red frosting. Pipe hair and eyebrows with the dark blue frosting. Pipe a red mouth.
Cut spice drops in half crosswise and flatten slightly. Press a licorice pastel into each of the spice drops. Press the cut end of spice drop on either side of the top of the cupcake as Geo's antennae.
Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
Practice early math with cupcake decorations! Try counting and sorting the candy ingredients with your child. Help your child count out each of the candy ingredients and then sort them into separate piles by color and then by ingredient. When it's time to add these ingredients, read aloud how many pieces will be needed and ask your child to count out and retrieve the ingredients from their piles.
Kids will love counting and crunching on these delicious digits!

Ford Unveils its First Electric Passenger Vehicle, the Focus Electric
Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman Bill Ford charges the Ford Focus Electric during the vehicle's reveal in New York City on January 7, 2011.
Ford Motor Company unveiled the Focus Electric on January 7, marking the carmaker's first rechargeable passenger car. The company said the car will launch in late 2011 and will compete with the hybrid Chevy Volt and electric vehicle (EV) Nissan Leaf, which reached consumers in December 2010. The Focus Electric will be designed to reach a top speed of 84 mph. The electrified vehicle (EV) will be powered by an advanced lithium-ion battery system engineered by Ford in cooperation with supplier LG Chem, Ltd. The battery system uses heated and cooled liquid to help maximize battery life and fuel-free driving range. Ford said the Focus Electric is one of five new electrified vehicles Ford will deliver by 2013 in North America and Europe.
According to Ford, the new Focus is capable of fully recharging in three to four hours at home using the available wall-mounted, 240-volt charge station. It will also offer value charging, powered by Microsoft, to help owners in the United States charge their vehicles at the lowest utility rates. The five-door hatchback leverages Ford's global C-car platform shared by the gasoline and diesel-powered Focus models, which debuted at the North American International Auto Show in December and which launched at the Paris Motor Show in September. See the Ford press release and the Ford Focus Electric Web site.

Dog quickly takes in, nurses stray kitten in Minn.
Published: Tuesday, September 25, 2012 at 7:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 25, 2012 at 7:01 a.m.
JORDAN, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota woman says she was shocked when her small dog began caring for an abandoned kitten, then started producing milk and nursing the fuzzy gray stray to health.
Pat Weber says the kitten was days old when her grandson found it in the family's barn in early September in Jordan, about 40 miles southwest of Minneapolis.
She says the 2-inch-long kitten was "ice cold." But she felt it move, so she wrapped the kitten in a warm towel. Then it began meowing — and her 4-year-old Pekingese perked up.
The tawny pooch named Mittens began licking the kitten, who nuzzled in and began suckling. Mittens hadn't had puppies in two years, yet she eventually began producing milk. She's been nursing the kitten ever since.
Weber calls it a miracle.

Bayer CropScience signs R&D pact
06.09.2012 - Bayer CropScience and US firm Mendel Biotechnology will co-develop a herbicide resistance breaking technology.
The focus of the new multi-year collaboration with the US plant genomics specialist is to jointly identify herbicides with novel modes of action, because many weeds have developed resistance to multiple herbicide classes. Under the terms of the agreement, the global No. 2 in herbicides, will bring in its expertise in herbicide research and development. Mendel will contribute its knowledge of plant genetic regulatory networks (PGRNs) – especially its know-how on regulatory transcription factors that can contribute to herbicide resistance.
"We believe that this collaboration will help us continue our significant contributions in agricultural chemistry", quoted Dr. C. David Nicholson, Global Head of Research & Development at Bayer CropScience. He added he hoped the combined know-how would help growers to tackle weed resistance issues and to protect their crops."
Mendel has already partnered with the Germans in identifying chemicals that modulate the plant's stress response signalling networks. The company has extensive knowledge on the set of transcription factors and regulatory networks in different plants identified by 1st PGRN platform and hold patents on cold and drought resistancehttp://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/bayer-cropscience-signs-rd-partnership.html

Product Details
It's no wonder other brands have copied the Bellevue 3-in-1 Jacket/Vest, it's technically and stylistically superior. Both the shell and down vest are 10,000mm waterproof/10,000 gm breathable and have fully taped seams, which means they look like they're meant to be warn to a pub for après (which they can) but have the necessary technology to handle the backcountry. Soft and warm from the inside out, the Bellevue Vest is done in a peached, plain weave fabric and is insulated with goose down, while the jacket is a 2-layer brushed twill. Wear the shell and vest separately or together for added warmth. Now you're thinking, "How much am I going to have to shell out for all of this?" Considering the versatility of this piece, it comes with a reasonable price tag.

Pharming and SOBI launch Ruconest marketing in the Netherlands
Leiden/Stockholm – Dutch Pharming Group NV and Swedish specialist for rare diseases Orphan Biovitrum AB, have launched their recombinant C1 inhibitor Ruconest® in the Netherlands. The launch of the treatment for patients suffering from acute attacks of heriditary angioedema comes after final approval from the Dutch regulatory authority. Ruconest, produced in the milk of transgenic rabbits, is the first pharmaceutical product launched in Pharming's home market. To date Ruconest, which compensates the lack of the functional human plasma protein C1 inhibitor, is available in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, UK, Germany, France, Latvia and the Netherlands. Reimbursement applications are under review in most of the other countries; the European roll-out by Pharming's marketing partner SOBI continues. In spring, the FDA rejected a BLA for the drug.

With thousands of people headed to Augusta for Masters Week, businesses will benefit big time.
And with Masters Week just three weeks away, area hotels are beginning to cash in.
News 12's Domonique Benn talks to hotel management about rooms that have been booked since last year.
Finishing touches are being put on the historic Partridge Inn...just in time for Masters guests, most of them invited back from last year.
"We have been booked for some time now and we do have quite a bit of repeat customers," says David Jones, general manager of the Partridge Inn.
But this time, repeat customers will see a different Partridge Inn...an enlarged lobby, a private dining room and 33 renovated guest rooms.
"In preparation for Masters, what we are doing is making sure we are ready for each one of those guests and knowing what those specific needs are," Jones says.
Area hotels stand to make big money during Masters Week. At the Partridge Inn there's a 7-night minimum stay, starting at $4000.
"We have seven night minimum and that includes as a package their breakfast each day, so the pricing does escalate during that week," says Jones.
Just like the Partridge Inn, Sleep Inn off of Washington Road is nearly sold out.
And its sister hotel next door, Quality Inn and Suites, is all booked up.
"I'm getting more calls every single day so I look to be booked in the next week or so," says Natasha Bridges of the Sleep Inn.
A room at the Sleep Inn would normally cost $59 a night.
The prestigious Masters golf tournament is helping to quadruple that price...now you will pay $250 per night.
"I don't think I have any doubles left," Bridges says.
For the Masters fans calling for rooms, it's not the price they are worried about, but the availability.
Hotels are not the only places people can stay for the week.
Homeowners cash in big by renting their homes to Masters patrons.

Anyone who might have feared Oracle CEO Larry Ellison would desecrate the lush Hawaiian island of Lanai, which he bought in 2012 for a reported $500 million, might take comfort in a new website, Love Lanai.
The website is full of gorgeous images of the island's breathtaking vistas along with reassuring references to "honoring heritage" and "land preservation."
It also contains inviting details for visitors to enjoy its pristine beauties. Among other things, it promotes the island as a great place for weddings and family vacations, touts its luxury shopping and eating destinations, and notes that it will host international film and food festivals in 2015.
In addition, the website promises an upcoming television series -- dubbed "Lanai Beyond the Grid" -- which it hails as "an inspiring exploration on sustainable leadership and how a little island can change the world by reminding us the most powerful force in human nature is to care."
Deborah Hellinger, spokeswoman for Redwood City-based software company that Ellison oversees, wouldn't comment on whether her boss had created or at least approved of the site -- http://lovelanai.com. But it seems likely it wouldn't last long if it didn't suit Ellison, a multibillionaire who owns 98 percent of the island.
So far, Hawaiians seem to be taking a wait-and-see attitude about Ellison's purchase of Lanai, according to Robert Harris, director of the Sierra Club of Hawaii.
"I would say there is optimism and caution," he said, noting that Ellison among other things reopened a public pool on the island that had been shut down by Lanai's previous owner, David Murdock, who many local residents disliked. In addition, Harris said Ellison has won widespread support for his economic improvements on the island as part of his push to make it more self sufficient.
Robin Kaye, spokesman for Friends of Lanai, agreed that Ellison generally is regarded as a better steward of the tiny island's environmental and cultural heritage than Murdock. But he added that many residents there remain concerned about a widely criticized wind energy project Murdock had proposed, which he apparently still retains the ability to construct. And while the Love Lanai website focuses heavily on bringing tourists to the island, it makes little reference to Lanai's longtime residents.
"How that impacts people who are born and raised here all their lives," he said, "we don't know."

Japanese Financial Companies Put Their Money on Investors
Japanese financial institutions are snapping up overseas fund-management companies, as they search for ways to generate fee income with less risk than their traditional businesses.
Although Japan is a nation of savers, trillions of dollars are squirreled away in savings accounts, out of reach of fund-management companies. Financial companies are increasingly partnering with foreign companies to beef up their range of asset-management products in hopes of capturing those funds.
Tokyo-based Orix's $2.6 billion purchase of Robeco from Dutch lender Rabobank, while the biggest acquisition of a foreign money manager by a Japanese company, is just the latest in a string of aggressive deal-making in the sector over the past two years.
However, analysts say buyers will need to overcome challenges tied to venturing beyond their core businesses as well as retain talented money managers and cover high goodwill burdens.
While Orix offers everything from life insurance and consumer loans in Japan to investment-banking services to midsize firms in the U.S., it is a bit player in asset management, with just $11.5 billion under management as of November, mostly via a U.S. unit.
Robeco, which managed €183 billion (about $241 billion) at the end of 2012 across stocks, bonds and alternative investments, has opened sales offices in Asia in recent years, but is mostly focused on selling funds in Europe and the U.S.
Analysts said they expect the acquisition to help Orix expand its range of financial products and boost its profitability overseas.

The Ultimate Knitter's Guide: Patterns and Techniques
by Kate Buller
Buy it Now at Amazon.com
You can find several good knitting technique books out there, and just as many knitting pattern collections. But try to find a good technique guide that also has great patterns and the list gets considerably shorter.
Pleasant Surprise
I'll admit, when I first spotted Kate Buller's book, I thought it was just another textbook-style knitting guide. And it is, except for one thing: Kate Buller just happens to be the retail manager for Rowan Yarns.
Covering Good Territory
The patterns are only part of the story here. Buller does a lot to earn this book its "ultimate" title, especially considering it is only 176 pages. Explanations are well-written and clear. Photo illustrations are abundant and always show the hands manipulating the stitches (something I find helpful).
Innovative Design
The book is designed using a spiral-bound, split-page format; the top two-thirds of the book is bound separately from the bottom third.
Potential Pitfall
The only problem I foresee is in regular wear and tear. Although the cover is extraordinarily strong, the pages themselves began to show signs of tearing from their spiral binding after just a few days of regular turning.
Is it a Fit?
Patterns range from moderately easy to relatively complex, making this book more appropriate for the advanced beginner and beyond. If you already know the essentials and want to take your skills to the next level, this book provides plenty of inspiration.

TRACY - An alert citizen helped police apprehend a man who robbed a bank, fled from officers and crashed his vehicle near an elementary school Tuesday morning in Tracy, authorities said.
The robbery occurred about 11 a.m. at the Bank of Stockton in the 1100 block of North Tracy Boulevard, police said. A citizen provided authorities with a description of the bank robber, officers said.
Police spotted the bank robber driving a white Saturn sedan near Carol Ann Drive, authorities said. The man attempted to elude officers, but his vehicle became disabled when he collided with another vehicle in front of George Kelley Elementary School, police said.
Jaime Frutos, 20, of Los Banos was taken into custody without further incident and arrested on suspicion of robbery and evading a peace officer, authorities said. The school was placed on lockdown, but it was reopened after the crash scene was cleared by police, officers said. The driver of the vehicle Frutos crashed into suffered minor injuries, authorities said.

November 15, 2005
Police find a toddler alone, wandering toward a busy highway. And they say the babysitter was the one who wasn't watching her. The little girl was found on Rogers Road, near Highway 1 in Aiken. News 12 tells you what happened and how parents can make sure they find the right sitter.
The mother of this 2-year-old girl says her babysitter was passed out on drugs when her daughter wandered off. And now that little girl is in protective custody with the Department of Social Services.
"I needed a break, but not this big of a break," said Sandra Boone.
Regret from a mother whose 2-year-old girl, Chloie, is gone. Sandra Boone blames a bad babysitter.
"I sleep with her blanket. I've tried to sleep in her bed, everything to ease the pain," Boone said.
November 6th, Sandra took Chloie to babysitter Sabrina Mikell's mother's house. Sandra says Sabrina watched her daughter many times before and she didn't know she had a drug problem.
"When I dropped her off they were never high. When I picked her up, they were never high," Boone said.
But Sandra says that day her babysitter got high off marijuana and pain pills and passed out.
The girl wandered out of the house. Police found her alone on Roberts Road, just feet away from Highway 1 and all its traffic.
Police arrested the babysitter and charged her with child neglect. When they found the sitter, she didn't know Sandra's phone number or last name. So they took Chloie into protective custody.
"I hear her running through the house. It's very hard being here without her," Boone said.
So how can you make sure you've found the right babysitter? Experts say use word of mouth, ask your friends and family who they trust. Also, interview your sitter before you use them. And watch your child play with the sitter before you leave them alone together. Click here for a list of good questions to ask your sitter.
Sandra Boone says she has a court date on December 1 to try and get her daughter back.

James Pak, 74, of Biddeford, made his first court appearance Monday afternoon to face murder charges in York County Superior Court.
Pak is charged with two counts of murder in connection with the deaths of Derrick Thompson, 19, and his girlfriend, Alivia Welch, 18, Saturday night in Biddeford.
Detectives said Pak rented out part of his home to the teens and Thompson's mother, Susan Johnson, and a landlord-tenant dispute may have led to the shooting.
Johnson was shot and was taken to Maine Medical Center, where her condition is not being released.
Pak is being held without bail.
A vigil for the victims is being held Monday at 6:30 p.m. at Rotary Park in Biddeford.

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Manufacturing Innovation Through Supply Chain Integration (+$2 million)
Everyone has experienced the occasional headache in sharing or moving data from one computer to another, but in the nation's manufacturing and construction industries, it is a multibillion-dollar problem.
America's large manufacturers are globally distributed enterprises that rely on a system of small manufacturers, parts suppliers, shippers, and raw materials producers organized in extended "supply chains." The U.S. construction industry is made up of an equally diverse network of more than 1 million firms. Using the auto industry as an example, the average car has more than 15,000 parts coming from 5,000 manufacturers that must arrive on time, made to the precise specifications of the auto company.
Production costs are no longer the major cost component in these global supply chains—the dominant cost is in the engineering and business activities, which depend critically upon clear and error-free exchange of information among partners.
Inefficiencies and needless roadblocks in the exchange of product design and business data in manufacturing and construction are estimated to cost the U.S. economy more than $25 billion per year. Small manufacturers are particularly hurt by these problems, but they affect the competitiveness of entire industries.
Proposed NIST Program
In the 1980s NIST pioneered work in developing open standards for data exchange. Under this initiative, NIST will conduct a much more extensive and wide-ranging program, working closely with U.S. manufacturers, to develop seamless data transactions throughout global supply chains—shortening the design-to-manufacturing cycle, improving quality, and lowering costs for large and small U.S. firms.
Major goals will include:
Expected Impacts
A robust, widely accepted framework of standards for enterprise integration will help open the global marketplace to the nation's small manufacturers.
Other potential benefits include:

Baldwin to be honored Friday
Prep softball
January 17, 2013
WATERFORD — Doug Baldwin has a luncheon date with destiny Friday. On that day, at 12:30 p.m....
too bad as athletic director he did not give a hoot about anything other than softball. and as principal sports come before anything else. Love to see Waterford recognized just not for someone like him.

As a fellow coach and educator in another school district , I enjoyed being around Coach Baldwin. I appreciated his fairness and his interest in every coach's athletes. While he is very competitive, he does not hold athletics to be the only meaningful developer of young people. He has given his time and money to the profession of coaching for a lot of years. I am a Baldwin fan.

LAURINBURG, N.C. – The University of Pikeville put six players in double figures and opened the 2012-13 basketball season with a 105-64 win over St. Andrews (N.C.) University Saturday afternoon.
The Bears blistered the nets in both halves from the field. Hitting 54.3percent from the field and 57.1 percent from the arc, the Bears built a 45-27 lead at the half.
In the second half they were even more explosive, connecting on 63.2 percent overall and 66.7 percent – 8-of-12 – of their three-point shots to post 60 points.
The team finished 43-of-73 for 58.9 percent from the floor and 12-of-19, or 66.7 percent, from downtown.
The Bears were equally strong on the defensive end, limiting the Knights to 37.5 percent shooting in their opening game and only 25 percent from the arc on the afternoon.
The lone downturn for the guests came in the turnover column, where they gave it back to SAU 17 times to equal their assists.
Senior Jamar "Deuce" Briscoe led the half-dozen double-digit scorers with 23 points while adding five rebounds off the defensive glass. Sophomore Hobo McCoy came off the bench to fire in five second-half threes in only six tries to finish with 15 points in just seven minutes of playing time.

quote: If you are in any way interested in competitive, deep, challenging gameplay, you should give it a shot. FPS are childs play that really don't require much skill compared to something like DOTA or Starcraft. I just got too bored after things moved from the Quake model to CoD and anything after BF2.
