If you are a sports parent or coach then you know that at the root of your athlete's performance level and joy for playing the game is their self confidence, isn't it?
For any athlete in any sport at any competition level a heavy dose of self-confidence is necessary to achieve sustained athletic success on the fieldor court. But it is even more than that. Every athlete needs a high level of sports confidence...a specific, more advanced brand of confidence requiring a dramatically higher level of resilience and fortitude.
For a younger athlete today the pain and disappoint of sports adversity and failure can damage their self confidence, leading to excessive anxiety and inconsistent play (you know…look great in practice but not in the games).
Add the pressure and expectations these younger athletes feel today from parents, coaches, teammates and self to perform at the highest level (with the goal of a college athletic scholarship) and their sports confidence becomes a perpetual roller coaster ride of frustration.
Sound familiar?
So how does a younger athlete build a steady "rock solid" foundation of sports confidence, and how do they maintain that high level of confidence in the face of severe sports adversity?
Like everything else in sports, confidence is not an accident or magic, but rather a product of design. It takes knowledge and education.
After 1,000games and over a decade of private and team coaching I have developed a proven formula for building "rock solid" sports confidence that works for any athlete, at any competition level in any sport; it's called The Sports Confidence Blueprint Program, where I lay out 9 causes for low sportsconfidence and 9 strategies to build "rock solid" sports confidence!

Brought to you by and the .Vail official report: 0" new snowWeather: Warmer today, although there's a few more clouds than yesterday morning. Liftline status: Getting busy in LionsheadRun of the day: Blue Ox was groomedBreakdown: The snow is still soft! Despite abundant sunshine yesterday, it was really cold. That means the roughly 2 feet of powder we had received in the last week or so has stayed soft leading up to this morning, even in the most exposed of areas. But it's already feeling warmer today; by this time tomorrow we may be dealing with crust but the snow in the north-facing trees, especially those higher in elevation, should stay powdery. Snowcast: There's some action headed our way, and it may produce snow as soon as this afternoon, forecasters say.

Weather RadiosOne of the best things about owning an RV is getting out and around all over the country. That means you will probably find yourself in areas that have weather patterns you are not familiar with. For example, your trip may take you to tornado alley. Regardless of where you go, bad weather can ruin your trip faster than just about anything else.
Weather radios can be set to alert you even when they are turned off. They will automatically buzz to let you know that bad weather is on the way. The size and functionality of the radio will depend on what you purchase. You can opt for a model that will fit in your jacket pocket which is ideal for when you are hiking, fishing, or golfing, or pick something that will work as an alarm clock radio when weather alerts aren't necessary.

Documentation is a crucial part of any digitisation project. Careful recording of all aspects of a digital collection and the circumstances surrounding its creation can make the difference between a resource which has limited value beyond the context in which it was originally created, and one whose value extends far beyond this context and may be used extensively by the academic community in perpetuity.
This paper will discuss different forms of documentation, from unstructured information to resource discovery and preservation metadata. The paper should enable anyone embarking on a digitisation project to make informed choices about how to successfully document their digital resources.
Readers of this Information Paper may also be interested in the article on Guidelines for Documenting Data, which discusses less structured forms of documentation at greater length.
At its most general, a resource's documentation should outline the reasons for and circumstances surrounding its creation. As an absolute minimum, the document should provide details of the resource's provenance, contents, structure, and the terms and conditions that apply to its use.
As creator of the resource, it is natural that your main concern will be with its primary data, and the value this offers to the academic community. However, in order to maximise that value, both now and in the future, it is just as important to take pains to provide adequate accompanying information. Anyone with relevant computer skills but no knowledge of your resource should be able to find it, and then exploit it fully and effectively. In this way, the potential for its future re-use within other contexts and for an audience well beyond its initial target community is significantly enhanced. Creating this documentation should be as integral a part of your project as the research on which it is focused - not an add-on or afterthought when the main body of work has been completed.
The digital resources you create should be described using a structured metadata schema. An account of how to approach metadata creation follows later in this paper. However, most research projects require or produce some documentation which does not fit within the conventions of a metadata schema. This type of information may be far less structured but forms, nevertheless, a valuable part of the deposit, and can enhance its future use significantly. The vital role played by informal contextual documentation might not immediately appear to merit the priority or consideration given to other areas of the project. However, the absence of such material can in itself render the resource meaningless.
Contextual documentation can include any unstructured material which does not comprise part of the resource itself, but which supports and enhances its use. For example, documentation relating to the provenance of a data collection should include how, why, when and by whom the data collection was created and used. This type of information would include: the aims and objectives of the research, the funding arrangements supporting it, its scope and subject matter, related research, strengths and weaknesses, methodologies chosen, rights associated with material used, keys, codes, guides, glossaries, abbreviations, encryption schemes etc necessary in order to understand the resource(s) created.
A data collection's intellectual context should be documented thoroughly enough to enable someone who has not been involved in the project to understand the intellectual framework in which it was created.
Information about contents, structure and terms and conditions can generally be recorded in a much more structured way using metadata.
In terms of a traditional library environment, metadata would be described as cataloguing information. Metadata is a more recent term, which relates more specifically to digital resources. It is information relating to and describing other information: data about data, and has been described as "the sum total of what one can say about any information object at any level of aggregation." (Buca, ed. 2000)
Metadata summarises not only the content of a resource, but a whole range of factors associated with its creation, content, context and structure. The metadata can be separate from the resource it describes, or in can actually be embedded within it. This was the case even before the advent of digital resources, as we can see in things like the CIP (Cataloguing In Publication) information data on the back of a book's title page, or the information printed on the label of a vinyl record. Even right-clicking on a digital image on a website will immediately provide you with a moderate amount of metadata, telling you what type of image it is (e.g. jpeg, gif etc), its web address, its size (no. of bytes), dimension (in pixels), and dates of creation and modification.
Metadata is distinguishable from other forms of documentation in that it is structured and exhibits consistency. Standardisation in the way that metadata is created means that information about resources can be presented in a meaningful and consistent way, and is crucial for effective resource discovery. It is also vital in facilitating interoperability, which allows integrated access to and searching of a wide range of resources across different systems. Standardised structures for organising and presenting metadata are known as schema. Dublin Core (described later in this document) is one such schema, which comprises 15 key elements.
Metadata enriches the resource it describes by extending the user's understanding of its content and the factors surrounding its creation. It places the resource in context and provides a background to it, thus enhancing the user's appreciation and understanding of it.
Metadata also extends the usefulness of the resource to the wider research community by facilitating access to it beyond the confines of the individual project or institution in which it was created.
Metadata enhances the value of the resource to researchers by enabling them to locate it, and by allowing them to make informed decisions as to whether or not a particular resource is relevant to their purposes.
Metadata allows the resource to be managed effectively by the party responsible for it.
In recording the resource's physical features and inherent qualities and events and activities to which it has been subjected since its creation, its viability as a useful and usable resource is significantly increased over the longer term.
This type of metadata is primarily related to the content of the resource, and describes the resource in such a way as to allow it to be located in a search, and differentiated from other, similar resources.
Preservation metadata can be broadly divided into the categories "technical" and "administrative", and basically comprises any information essential to continued use of the resource. Technical metadata documents the resource's history, such as the processes involved in its creation (e.g. file formats, date of digitisation etc.) or any manipulation it has undergone (e.g. colour adjustments to an image). Administrative metadata includes anything related to its management, delivery or distribution, such as rights information.
Metadata can describe resources at different levels of aggregation. One record can refer to a whole collection, or could be confined to a single item.
Metadata standards are designed to impose structure and consistency on the way metadata is recorded. This consistency ensures accuracy and reliability in information retrieval and allows users to cross-search different disciplines, collections and domains by promoting interoperability. Whatever approach is adopted in terms of developing metadata, it is crucial to use established standards as part of the process.
A metadata standard is a specification that outlines a set of fields or elements, each of which is designed to contain information on a particular aspect of the resource.
The standard defines a meaning for each element, and guidelines as to its application.
Intimate knowledge of your resource is no guarantee that your description of it will make sense and be meaningful and accessible to the wider world. In order to do that, you must be, in a sense, describing it in the same terms as others are describing theirs. It is acceptable to use your own set of fields for recording data about your digital resources, as long as your in-house schema can be mapped to existing metadata standards.
However, inconsistency and a lack of precision in description and data entry can lead to resources being missed in searches (or appearing as irrelevant in a list of results, which is just as bad), and will not enhance their value to the research community - possibly the reverse.
To ensure consistency within descriptive elements, from the way in which a date is expressed, to the use of corporate and personal names, established standards should be adhered to where possible. Even something as simple as spelling can cause problems - simple carelessness means there is always a good chance of finding a bargain on eBay! For example, try searching for "plam pilots".
There is no such thing as a "one size fits all" standard, and the following considerations will all influence the selection of the most appropriate standard.
Aggregation (will the metadata describe collections/groups of resources or individual items?)
Granularity (will the metadata provide considerable detail or is a broader approach more appropriate/all that is manageable within resources available to the project?)
Context (do the resources fall into a very specialised subject grouping or are they part of a larger collection which covers a number of disciplines?)
Concept (what is the collection for? What kind of metadata will best represent the resource to its users now and also in the future?)
Different authoritative bodies have developed many different Metadata Standards. Some of these are associated with different levels of aggregation, while others relate to material in particular subjects. These are a few examples:
Inevitably, with so many different systems and schemas in place, it is often necessary to be able to "translate" or "map" the elements from one system to another. Such mapping systems, which allow metadata created by one community to be used by a group using a different metadata standard are known as crosswalks. The success of any such mapping arrangement depends on the similarity between the two schemes, the granularity of elements in the target scheme compared to that in the source, and the compatibility of the rules on content within each element.
Dublin Core began as an initiative to improve discovery of digital resources, primarily on the Web. Dublin Core is an international protocol for resource discovery, which can encompass both digital and non-digital resource formats, and was designed to be used by individuals who do not necessarily have any kind of background in information management. It was not designed for complex resource description: its simplicity is intended to facilitate effective retrieval in a networked environment of the resources it describes, and to accommodate researchers across a range of disciplines, whose perspectives on the resources they create and require access to might be widely different.
Effectively, what Dublin Core offers is a compromise whose beauty lies in its simplicity and breadth of application. In short, Dublin Core can be regarded as metadata's lowest common denominator. Its 15 elements are as follows:
Here is an example of a record describing a photograph, using Dublin Core: o Creator:Donald Coopero Role=Photographero Subject: Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616, Antony and Cleopatra [LC]o Description:Vanessa Redgrave as Cleopatrao Date: 1973-08-09o Type:Imageo Format:JPEGo Identifier:4150 [catalogue no]o Source: negative no 235o Relation: Antony and Cleopatra: Thompson/73-8o IsPartOfo Coverage:Bankside Globeo Role=Spatialo Rights:Donald Cooper
Controlled vocabulary lists and thesauri offer consistency in terminology for use in elements like Subject (where the metadata creator wants to indicate what the resource is about). The more consistency that can be applied to this procedure, the more fruitful searches will be, both within one set of metadata records and across records held by different organisations. If multiple organisations describe their collections consistently by using terms from a controlled list, the common approach will reap great benefits during searches.
For example, if a group of resources on the history of theatre in India all attach the Subject Heading 'Theatre History, India' (which comes from Library of Congress Subject Headings ), as opposed to making up their own headings (e.g. Indian Theatre History), individual records will not slip through the net during a search. It is important also to state which list your term is selected from (e.g. by putting [LC] in brackets after the heading).
There are also controlled lists for terms within particular disciplines. These are produced by authoritative bodies, and are often available online. The National Monuments Record Type (NMR) , Humanities and Social Sciences Electronic Thesaurus (HASSET) The Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT), Union List of Artists Names (ULAN) and Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN) are all examples of these. The last three were all developed at the Getty Research Institute in California, which promotes innovative scholarship in the arts and humanities.
In addition to these, there are also established standards for expressing elements like Date, Type and Language, such as ISO 639 for language abbreviations and RFC 2045 and 2046 for Media (MIME) types.
Each project will have different metadata requirements. The schema employed should be tailored to the characteristics particular to the project's digital resources and can be mapped later on to standards such as Dublin Core for the purposes of interoperability. These standards should be seen less as "off-the-shelf" commodities and more as reference points to which bespoke schemas can map. Metadata must be "fit for purpose" - think carefully about the level of complexity required to describe your resource. The content and number of fields to be used in a specific record may vary according to the requirements of a particular collection and the nature of the individual digital object. This important flexibility allows the time and attention given to cataloguing to vary according to the size, significance and location of the digital resource being described.
There are now quite a number of software tools (many of them online) available to aid the process of metadata creation. DC.dot (a web-based tool for creating Dublin Core tags for networked resources), The Nordic Metadata Project DC Template, and the RSLP Collection Level Description metadata generator are all examples of these.
It is very important to have consistency and authority in your metadata records. The most important aspect of metadata standardisation is not that all records must contain the same fields, but that where the same field exists in records belonging to different collections then it should be used for the same purpose with the same standards.
There are few environments that change as rapidly as the digital environment. The speed with which technical innovations emerge and processes change are such that within a very few years hardware and software on which valuable data has been stored can be rendered obsolete. Fortunately, solutions in order to meet these challenges are constantly being developed and updated. Nevertheless, whatever the particular circumstances, it is never enough simply to have the resource to hand. If you do not also have the technical and administrative information which provides the background to its creation, delivery, operation and administration, you cannot be said to have full access to it, and it cannot be said to have been preserved. Metadata which informs the user of the technical context for the resource (its file format, file size, associated software, version etc), and other information (e.g. copyright information) crucial to its ongoing management are as integral a part of its preservation as its physical security. Without this information, some or all of the following vital questions, and others, will remain unanswered:
Five key functions of preservation metadata identified by the National Library of Australia are as follows:
As digital resources become an ever more dominant method of recording and disseminating information in academia and beyond, the management of preservation metadata is inevitably an area of increasing concern to those responsible for such resources. There are various initiatives attempting to develop a framework for preservation metadata, including OCLC/RLG , CEDARS (Leeds University) , PADI (National Library of Australia) and NEDLIB (based in the Netherlands).
There is as yet no agreed standard, but the general principles governing discussions within these groups do seem to be moving in the same direction, and are in some cases already converging. The "CEDARS Guide to Preservation Metadata", for example, is closely based on the OCLC Preservation Metadata Framework, which is very much at the forefront of developments in Preservation Metadata.
This depends on the resource to which it relates. Technical metadata relating to an image, for example, might record features such as its format (e.g. JPEG), level of granularity (e.g. 24-bit), and colourspace (e.g. RGB, CMYK, etc.)
A record for an audio file would record the bit rate, no. of channels, sample rate, etc., and one for a video would provide details of its resolution, format of video content (codec used - e.g. DIVX), the format of the video sound (e.g. .wma, .mov, .ra, etc.)
But the good news is…that the AHDS can undertake some of this preservation documentation work for you. On receipt of a collection the AHDS will add metadata relating to the future handling of the resource. When such information is added to the preservation metadata developed by a resource creator (recording details such as the original technical specifications of the resource and information on collection and rights management), a siginficant body of data has been created to help ensure the long-term maintenance of the resource.
The emergence of the Semantic Web, in which the way information is created and organised, makes metadata a more crucial activity than ever before.
"The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which informationis given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation." (Berners-Lee et al, 2001)
The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. It is a collaborative effort led by W3C with participation from a large number of researchers and industrial partners. It is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF), which integrates a variety of applications using XML for syntax and URIs for naming. In this way metadata can be easily re-used in a number of different ways by intelligent agents and other programs, as well as human users.
Developments in metadata schemas continue to expand rapidly, as the effort to keep pace with and manage the explosion of digital materials afforded by new technology continues. Every day new groups of users and creators emerge, with their own unique perspectives and requirements - and consequently new schemas are developed or existing ones adapted to meet these.
The creation of good quality metadata (to be embedded within a digital resource or to accompany it to the repository) should always go hand in hand with that of the object(s) it describes. This, more than any other activity in the digitisation process, will add value to a digital object as a resource for teaching, learning and research, aid its promotion throughout the educational community, and increase its longevity. Metadata is the key to ensuring that your resource is meaningful and accessible both now and in the future, and should be a central consideration from the outset by anyone undertaking a digitisation project, with its development costed in as an integral part of the project plan.
Contact the AHDS as early as possible in a project that will result in a deposit. We can provide advice and guidance on creating and submitting metadata which will maximize the usefulness and viability of the material it describes.

The city of Canandaigua has received a demolition permit application and site development application for the Steamboat Landing Restaurant property at 205 Lakeshore Drive, said David LeClair, the city's code enforcement officer. The applications are currently being reviewed, LeClair said.
The demolition permit is needed to demolish the current Steamboat Landing Restaurant, which closed in February. The restaurant is being torn down to make way for an estimated $54 million hotel and conference center, the Canandaigua Finger Lakes Resort. The property is owned by David Genecco, of Canandaigua.
The proposed hotel is a five-story, 60-foot structure with 111 rooms and a conference space that will hold up to 400 people. Genecco's business partner, Bob Murphy of Macedon Excavating and Paving, Inc., estimated in June that the hotel construction will be complete by spring 2015.

Setting the stage for the symposium are keynote speakers Steve Kozlowski, director of the FDA Office of Biotechnology Products, and Gillian Woollett, chief scientist at the Washington, DC, law firm Engel & Novitt. Each will discuss the regulation of biologics. The following two-and-a-half days of technical sessions will include presentations from an international panel of industrial, academic, and regulatory stakeholders engaged in the development of quality standards for biologics. USP topic experts will discuss general analytical approaches and what they can do for biologics; quality attributes of biologic drugs by product class; and the US regulatory landscape for these products. An entire track of sessions will focus on bioassays and the assessment of biological potency, critical to all biological medicines.
New approach for biologics standardsQuality standards set by the USP—and enforceable by FDA—have traditionally been developed using what's called a "vertical approach," which is particularly suited for the characterization of small-molecule drugs. Under this approach, documentary standards (or product monographs) have been created for one drug product at a time, with associated reference materials (i.e., pure physical samples used as reference chemicals for testing) developed in tandem with monographs. General chapters in USP's official compendium, US Pharmacopeia-National Formulary (USP-NF), represent overarching information and testing procedures that apply across all or groups of monographs. These chapters broadly support product-specific (vertical) standards in the determination of identity, strength, and purity.
Compared with their small-molecule counterparts, biologics are heterogeneous and more complex in their makeup. Thus, analysis and characterization are more challenging and require an even greater portfolio of good analytical procedures that can underpin product characterization. Another important issue for biologics quality is the use of ancillary and process materials that are also complex biologics. Common examples are fetal bovine serum (FBS) widely used in vaccine manufacturing; cytokines like interleukin-4 (IL-4) used in the cell-therapy arena; and materials like protein A, used in monoclonal-antibody manufacturing. The quality of these materials going into the manufacturing process can have a direct impact on the quality of the medicinal product itself, especially when the end product is not highly purified and residual amounts of the ancillary material have to remain.
Working through expert committees and advisory expert panels, the USP biologics and biotechnology department has been actively revising and developing new chapters in USP-NF. Work has focused on general guidance in the form of information chapters, and also on specific test and product-class chapters that speak to the analysis of quality attributes for certain biologics product classes and the analytical procedures necessary to measure them. The goal with these "horizontal" standards is to provide more broadly applicable quality expectations in areas where analytical platform approaches already exist.

The Systematic Character of the National Socialist Policy for the Extermination of the Jews: Electronic Edition, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|<< V. The machinery of mass...
|< I. Introduction
1.The murder of European Jews from the summer of 1941 onwards, can be seen to have gone through three phases. In a first phase between June 1941 and October 1941, the policy of extermination was limited to mass executions in the occupied Soviet Areas. These were extended step by step, moving from the shooting of Jewish men to the indiscriminate murdering of the entire Jewish population. Only a relatively small group of Jews who were "fit for work" would be exempt from these measures.
2.In a second phase between the Fall of 1941 and early 1942, the mass murders were extended to further areas under German domination - to the Warthegau, the Districts of Lublin and Galicia, and Serbia. The regional mass murders in the Warthegau and Lublin stood in the context of the programme of deportations of the RSHA. This programme initially covered Central Europe and then expanded into Western Europe - the murder of the local Jews was to "make room" for the deportees. The mass murders in Serbia and Galicia, on the other hand, followed the pattern first adopted in the Soviet Union. In this period, the use of gas as a method of murder was generally adopted. As a rule, only those "fit for work" were spared. At the Wannsee Conference in January 1942, the Reichssicherheitshauptamt made it clear that the killings in the individual areas were "anticipations" of the "Final Solution", which was to be carried out in full after the end of the war. It thereby initiated the extension of the policy of extermination to the entire sphere under German domination.
3.This escalation began in early 1942, and reached its full extent in July 1942. In this period, the regional extermination programmes were transformed into a overarching programme of deportations and extermination, which encompassed the entirety of the area under German domination. The majority of the people who had been forcibly removed were now deported directly into extermination camps; only a relatively small number was put to forced labour, which - as the notion of "extermination through work" implies - led to the death of most people within the shortest period of time.
4.The systematic nature of the murder of the Jewish victims is not merely characteristic of this last phase, but also of phases I and II. This means that the mass murders followed a standardised pattern, were centrally directed and expressed the policy of the National Socialist regime.
5.I have understood that my overriding duty is to the Court. My paramount obligation, as I have been advised by my Instructing Solicitors, is to assist the Court on all matters within my expertise regardless of whom my instructions are from and who is paying my fees. I confirm that this report is impartial, objective and unbiased and has been produced independently of the exigencies of this litigation.

It helps to be a bit obsessive when you're a wildlife photographer - at least according to Richard Seeley, the featured artist at Arts Alive gallery in Breckenridge this month, whose reception takes place today.
Take his quest to photograph snowy owls for example. "My first encounter with a snowy owl was on the tundra above the Arctic Circle while in search of polar bears," Seeley writes on his blog. "I fell in love with these beautiful owls and hoped to someday be able to get a closer, sharper, higher image quality photograph than the one shot that day."
So he followed the reports and chased owls - in Aurora, near the Denver International Airport, even driving 12 hours to Lake Andes in South Dakota - without luck until, on his way back from that trip, he and friend Bob Karcz finally located one (again, following reports) hunkered down on a street lamp off Interstate 80, of all places.
"We took a few photographs to prove that we did see one, but still it was too far away for good photography, and the scene was all wrong," he wrote.
Later, while in Seattle, he drove to Vancouver, British Columbia, and found the mother lode of owls - but the light was wrong and they had limited time. He returned again and it rained almost the whole time. "During a window of no rain, I did get a few shots worth sharing ... However, I did not get the photograph that I came for: a head-on, razor-sharp, two-yellow-eyes-wide-open-looking-at-the-camera, bird-in-flight photograph of a snowy owl," he wrote.
To this day, the quest continues.
"You have to be a little crazy to be in this business - long hours, little pay, standing in the cold for hours on end waiting for a wildlife happening, constantly searching for wildlife photo opps, heavy equipment to carry on your back, expensive equipment to purchase that becomes obsolete every two years, long hours on the computer processing images with many software programs and endless updates," said Seeley, who is a regular photo contributor to the Summit Daily.
His images are also sold by National Geographic, which invited him to join its stock photo site and soon, its new site for stock video.
At Arts Alive, Seeley is displaying images from a 60-day trip he took from Silverthorne to central Alaska in his RV last summer. The journey involved travel through British Columbia, the Alaskan inside passage, the Yukon and a week in the interior of Denali National Park. A professional photographer's road permit allowed him to travel into inner Denali in a private vehicle. The photos on display include Mount McKinley at sunrise, black bears, grizzly bears, moose, owls and other wildlife caught in the act of doing what they do.
Close, and sometimes amusing, wildlife encounters are part of the job. At Brooks River in Katmai National Park, for example, he and his wife, Beth, were within 50 yards of their destination after carrying heavy camera equipment for a mile when they met a young bear coming along the path in the opposite direction. They backed up, waited, then backed up and waited again for a total of three times before realizing the bear had no plans to change course, so they squeezed into an outhouse together and let him pass. Visitors to the area are required to go to "bear school" so they know how to behave around bears, Seeley wrote.
In 2012, Seeley's photo, "Spin Cycle," picturing a bear vigorously shaking water from its head, won the grand prize in Nature Photographer Magazine's inaugural international nature photography contest.
"Wildlife is very challenging," said Seeley. "To capture a winning shot, one must learn about the behavior of the wildlife; one must become a naturalist. I love learning about my subject matter. A good photographer must be able to anticipate animal behavior, be ready and shoot before the action takes place."
The Seeleys live in Silverthorne during winter and Gloucester, Mass., in summers, though they hope to relocate to Silverthorne permanently. On March 8, Seeley will host a "Denver to Denali Wildlife Photography Adventure" slideshow at the Silverthorne Library.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks will have Antti Niemi in goal for their Thursday night showdown with the Anaheim Ducks.
And although first place in the Pacific Division is on the line, San Jose coach Todd McLellan tried to keep the game in perspective.
"We have 24 points that are still available to us and I think they have 26," he said, referring to the games left in the regular season. "That's a lot of points. There's a lot of hockey left from this point on. Perhaps if we're in this same situation late April when we play in their building, there'd be a lot more to suggest this is a must-win game. It isn't for either team."
Then he added: "It would be nice to win it, certainly from our perspective to move ahead and create that two point cushion. But it's not the be-all and end-all by any means."
Anaheim has occupied the top spot in the Pacific since early January and at one point they were 13 points ahead of the Sharks. The Ducks have wobbled at 4-3-2 since the Olympic break, however, and the Sharks -- going 9-2-1 over that same stretch -- have caught them with each team having 97 points.
The Ducks will start backup Frederik Anderson in goal. Anaheim also announced that Nick Bonino would miss the game with an injured foot and Matt Beleskey is ill and won't play. The team called up Emerson Etem and Rickard Rakell from the minors.
The Sharks indicated earlier that Raffi Torres will miss a sixth game with general soreness.

A former stockbroker accused of swindling six clients in North Dakota's Walsh County out of more than $2 million has pleaded guilty.
The Grand Forks Herald reports (http://bit.ly/11jkWUS ) that each of the seven felony counts against 59-year-old Ross Haugen of acting as an unregistered broker carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. But Haugen might avoid prison time if he comes up with $2.1 million in restitution by the end of the month.
Haugen faced similar charges in November 2011, pleaded guilty and avoided prison by paying about $185,000 in restitution. Prosecutor Barbara Whelan says she will not ask for prison time in the current case if Haugen makes restitution.
Haugen earlier lost both his federal and state securities licenses.

This is a weekly editorial by WXII President and GM Hank Price.
Last week's tragedy in Boston reminds us of the high price we pay for living in an open and free society. Throughout the history of our nation there have been those who would attack us and the things we hold dear.
What are those things? Freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom from tyrannical government, freedom to worship.
The freedom to live our lives as we choose has been bought and paid for by men and women throughout the course of this nation. That's why three years ago WXII 12 honored our region's World War II veterans, last year we honored our Vietnam Veterans and this summer we will honor Korean veterans.
There have always been, and will continue to be, those who seek to do us harm. But what they cannot do is change the things that make this nation, our nation, great. America. Home of the brave. Land of the free.

After winning the first game of this weekend's four-game series with Des Moines Area Community College, 3-1, on Friday, the Roughriders returned to the field, but their bats didn't on Saturday as they were swept in a doubleheader, 6-0, 5-3, at Roughrider Field.
The Roughriders (12-3) lived on the edge Friday night as they danced around 13 hits and allowed just one run. Offensively, the Roughriders took an early 1-0 lead in the first, but the Bears tied it in the second (1-1) on an RBI single by Tyler Wolfe that scored Steve Serratore.
Crowder answered in the fourth with two runs and held on the rest of the way.
Starter Chris Caudle earned the victory after scattering 10 hits over six innings of work with four strikeouts and a walk. Cody Jones, Cody Jackson and Andrew Schwaab worked the remaining three innings in relief, combining for three hits and three strikeouts on no walks. Schwaab nailed down the save.
Cody Althouse, Tony Sandifer, Matt Burgess, Ty White, Chris Scroggins, Cody Webster and Ryan Lazo had hits for the Roughriders. Althouse, Sandifer and Lazo scored runs, while Althouse, White and Scroggins drove in a run apiece.
The Roughriders weren't as fortunate on Saturday as they ran into the right arm of Dakota Freese in game one, and could never figure him out. Freese, a right hander, worked in the upper 90's with his fastball, and stymied the Roughrider bats as he allowed just two hits with 10 strikeouts and three walks in the complete game effort. Tyler Hamer started the second game for the Bears and was also effective. He allowed two hits, three walks and struck out two in 5 2/3 scoreless, earning the victory.
The Roughriders made things interesting in the seventh inning of game two, loading the bases with no outs, but could only manage three runs off of reliever Brennan Manfull.
The series concludes today with one nine-inning contest at 1 p.m. at Roughrider Field.

Hello, I have got two problems and would be grateful for some help.
1. My dimensions does not resize when the points they are attached to move around. Can I enable this?
2. I want to trace a shape of an image (like with the pen tool in illustrator) The polyline is not smooth enough, and the spline is all over the place and difficult to use. What should I do? Is there a way to subdivide and smooth down the polyline? Or how can I get better control of the spline?
Thank you very much for any help

The Hubert D. Harris Scholarship Program was established in 1991 to memorialize Hugh Harris for his many contributions to the targets community in both government and industry. The Division has been joined by NDIA's Gulf Coast Chapter as a co-sponsor of the scholarship program.
Hugh was a longtime member and leader in various professional organizations including the IEEE, AOC and ADPA (forerunner of the NDIA). He served two years as the national chairman for the Aerial Targets and RPV Section, working closely with all three military services. Subsequent to his death on June 9, 1991, Hugh was the posthumous winner of the Division's Willis Howard Award for outstanding service.
The Hugh Harris Scholarship is presented annually to a deserving high school senior who will be entering an accredited four-year university in pursuit of a math, engineering or hard science degree.

Willis Howard AwardThe Willis Howard Award is presented annually at the Symposium to the person, either corporate or military, who in the view of the Executive Board, has demonstrated both sustained superior service within the communities now represented by the NDIA Targets Division, as well as active service to the Division.
Named after Mr. Willis Howard, one of the founding owners of Cartwright Electronics (now a division of Meggitt Defense Systems, Inc.), it is the highest award presented within the targets community. Willis was also one of the founding corporate members of the NDIA Targets Division, which was originally the Aerial Targets Division of the American Ordnance Association. He was an extremely active member of the Division who presented papers, chaired Sessions and was Chairman of the Annual Symposium on two occasions.
Willis was killed in an auto accident while working with the USAF Weapons Evaluation Group at Tyndall Air Force Base. He was so well respected throughout the Targets Community that the Division implemented an award in his honor.

Atlanta radio station fires three hosts for mocking ex-Saints player Steve Gleason
Former New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason announces a draft pick during the third round of the NFL Draft, Friday, April 26, 2013 at Radio City Music Hall in New York. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer) by Greg Botelho (CNN) — If he had been listening from his car Monday morning, radio veteran Steak Shapiro knew what he would have thought of a bit mocking a former New Orleans Saint now battling Lou Gehrig's disease. "I would have been offended." Why? The now former host of "Mayhem in the AM" on Atlanta's 790 The Zone offered up plenty of reasons in an interview Tuesday with CNN's Brooke Baldwin. And none of his descriptions of the now infamous two-minute radio bit were positive.

Lake District & Cumbria Guide
El Distrito de los Lagos es una de las regiones más bellas de Inglaterra. It has scenic lakes and gushing waterfalls, breathtaking valleys and soaring mountain ranges, as well as many picturesque towns and villages surrounded by farmland. Covering an area of just 30 miles wide, but encompassing an area of over 800 square miles, the Lake District National Park forms part of the wider county of Cumbria, which features many attractions. These include the historic town of Carlisle, the harbour towns of Whitehaven and Maryport, the market town of Ulverston, and the ship building port of Barrow-in-Furness.
Getting There
The charm of the Lake District is its remote nature, however this means it is not as easy to get to as the more urban areas of the UK. With careful planning, most places are accessible, but the easiest way to travel is by car. When travelling by train or bus ensure you check the times prior to travel, and also check the return journey, as they are not as frequent as you may think.

Getting Around
The Lake District is not well connected in terms of public transport, with driving still being the best way to access some of the most remote areas. If you are travelling by public transport, ensure that you have familiarised yourself with bus and train routes and times before travelling, as services can be infrequent. Don't forget to utilise the many guided tours and buses that are available. These are sometimes the best way of exploring the Lake District. The majority offer full and half day tours, taking in tourist attractions where appropriate, and enable you to discover the idyllic Lake District.
Visitors may also want to utilise the Lakes Day Ranger and Lakes Family Day Ranger, valid on:
Where to Stay
The rural nature and popularity of the Lake District (also known as The Lakes) have led to the availability of a wide choice of accommodation including farm house cottages, bed and breakfasts, inns, and luxury hotels.
For those looking to stay close to Windermere, a good selection of lodgings can be found in and around Ambleside, Bowness and in the village of Windermere itself.
North of Windermere, the village of Grasmere, once home of the poet William Wordsworth, also offers a fine selection of places to stay.
Visitors to the Northern Lakes would do well to consider Pooley Bridge or Glenridding, both of which are situated on Ullswater. Although slightly further away, Penrith is also convenient for touring the Northern Lakes.
The market town of Keswick is located close to Bassenthwaite and Derwent Water, and provides a convenient, central base for exploring the Lakes.
View LateRooms complete selection of Lake District accommodation.
It's impossible to visit the Lake District without sampling some of the local produce.
Local Produce
Cumberland Sausage
Waberthwaite is home to the royal butcher, Richard Woodall, so you could say it's food fit for a queen.
Kendal Mint Cake:
If you have a sweet tooth you must sample some of this. It was even taken to the summit of Mount Everest in 1953 to keep the climbers going, and is still used by walkers today as a source of energy.
Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding
Made from 100% natural, local ingredients, this is a treat not to be missed. They even supply to Harvey Nichols and Selfridges.
Hawkshead Relish Company
In the past the company has won Speciality Producer of the Year, and is renowned for its locally produced sauces and relishes, including their Cumberland Sauce and Hawkshead Relish.
The 1657 Chocolate House
Built in the 1630s the house was originally a private dwelling, later converted to a bakery. Today the restaurant sells a range of delicious chocolate drinks, gateauxs and... chocolates, of course. A treat not to be missed.
With all that inspiring scenery, it's no wonder that that the Lake District is brimming with artistic talent and creativity. What better treat to bring back for your friends and family than a locally produced present from one of the following galleries or shops?

Fireworks burst over Tahrir Square as protesters gather in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012. A protest by tens of thousands of Egyptians outside the presidential palace in Cairo turned violent on Tuesday as tensions grew over Islamist President Mohammed Morsi's seizure of nearly unrestricted powers Thousands of protesters also gathered in Cairo's downtown Tahrir Square, miles away from the palace, to join several hundred who have been camping out there for nearly two weeks. (AP Photo/Maya Alleruzzo)
CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's Health Ministry says more than 120 people have been wounded in clashes involving supporters and opponents of President Mohammed Morsi today.
The two sides fought with rocks, firebombs and sticks outside the presidential palace. It's the worst violence so far in the deepening crisis over the country's draft constitution, which was approved by Morsi's Islamist allies.
The clashes continued well into the night.
Meanwhile, three more of Morsi's aides have resigned in protest over his handling of the crisis. There are now five advisers from his panel of 17 who have left their jobs since the problems began.
The opposition is demanding that Morsi scrap the decrees he issued that give him nearly unrestricted powers. They also want him to shelve the disputed draft constitution.
Today's clashes began when thousands of Islamist supporters of Morsi descended on an area around the palace where hundreds of his opponents had been staging a sit-in.

Joan Rivers told TMZ she had a one-night "bounce" with Johnny Carson.
Rivers guest-hosted Carson's "The Tonight Show" for years, until the two had a falling out when she got her own talk show. The topic came up because it was reported Tuesday that someone is trying to sell a sex tape featuring Carson and one of his wives from the 1970s.
The reports also said that Carson wasn't just the biggest in, er ... name when it came to late night talk show hosts, something Rivers confirmed.
"I had no idea the man could stand and sit at the same time," Rivers said.
No, I don't really like thinking about any of this either. But we can talk about it, since it's the Internet and all.
Rivers said she wants to see the sex tape because she's curious who Carson's partner was. She wasn't buying the theory that it was one of his wives.

Teenage narcotics suspect shot in police sting
A Hephzibah teenager is still recovering after being shot by an officer.
19-year-old Michael Garrett is at MCG after he tried to flee from police at the Food Lion in Grovetown.
Garrett, along with his two passengers, was the suspect of a narcotics investigation.
After he struck two officers with his vehicle, he was then shot in the neck by Sgt. Tripp Penn, a ten-year veteran with the Columbia County Sheriff's Department.
Garrett's passengers were 22-year-old Anderson Levon II and a 15-year old female.
After inspecting their vehicle, officers found drugs, a handgun, and cash.

I used this recipe: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/mythtvnz/367722?page=last
And it worked quite well. So i have a binary but not sure if its working because I dont have a dual-core to test it on.
You can find them at http://drop.io/topguyz if anyone have the time and equipment to test them.
Its built on Debian Lenny so it will probably not work on anything else than fairly new Debian based distros.

For calling it a day and for approving David Moyes as your heir.
The Moyes decision I view it as a win win for Liverpool football club, first of all this ensures that the Turds will not win another title for the foreseeable future and also increases the possibilities of the Blue noses being relegated in the next year or two, especially if they go with Martinez, a guy who is about to get Wigan relegated and who thinks he is the Albert Einstein of football.
Personally I feel that despite being a good coach, Moyes lacks that IT factor that would make him a great coach and SAF's shoes will be even harder to fill. I can not foresee him going toe to toe with the likes of Jose, Pep, Rafa and co and coming out the victor. 11 years with the Toffees and not a single trophy does not really mark him as a world beater, does it? Even Alex Mcleish has won a trophy! Mind you there will be no more Fergie time, a factor that has significantly contributed substantially to the Uniturd's titles over the years. I am also reliably informed that Howard Webb has put in a transfer request and word is that he has sent a "come and get me plea" to Mancini attaching highlights of his contribution to Uniturd's losing performance to Chelsea last week.

Commonly listed as 'Ian's Farm', this show took place at the Condon Farm in Hebron, NY, about 2 hours from Burlington, and was played at Ian McLean's pig roast (a friend of the band). Phish played at Ian's party again in 1989, the famous show featuring the Poop vocal jam and Merry Christmas wishes due to all the smoke from the pig roast.
What is important about this show is the fact that the atmosphere at these outdoor gatherings allowed the band to loosen up and explore. Ian's shows were the precursors to shows like Amy's Farm, which in turn led to some of the larger Phish festivals. While the band also acknowledges the atmosphere at the open Goddard gigs of this time period in the ideas for festivals, there is no doubt that Ian's Pig Roast shows helped as well.
Wonderfully crisp AUDs of this show are on the spreadsheet and have been floating around for decades. This show is one of the most commonly traded early tapes in existence, so it should be an easy find. What is not mentioned is the wonderful looseness with which the band plays. This show really features some clear lengthy jams into unknown territory with no real roadmap out. As such, some of these jams end up falling on their face, and some end up in some of the band's most interesting jams of the time period.
A perfect Dog Log begins this show. It is worth noting that these tapes contain dogs barking literally throughout the entire show. Often Trey has to yell at Marley and the audience will growl at the dogs, but it never out-shadows the band, so it adds an interesting element to the recording. My all-time favorite version of Peaches is next, after which, Trey remarks in a cracking voice "Remember this one Garrett, wink wink, nudge nudge...the one with the delay on the vocals?" in reference to Divided Sky. He then asks to have that cut out of the tape, and is told, "too late!" Clearly at this point, Divided Sky in its short form is in its infancy, although one wouldn't know from hearing it. This version is wonderful, with Mike exploring throughout. It's also clear that there are probably only 3 or 4 people listening to the band at this point.
An absolutely raging Funky Bitch is next. Having heard more Phish than I care to reveal, I can say that this is probably one of the top 3 no-guest Funky Bitches the band has ever played. Trey is absolutely everywhere and enjoys the freedom to play around. I can't overstate just how locked in the band is here. The song ends in a sheer of feedback.
A super-slow and lunky start to Hood takes an extremely long time to make it to the composed section, providing a great release. Dogs are barking throughout this Hood, but the band totally steams through the composed section. The jam is really soaring, but the end features this wonderful part when Trey dies down and hammers away at the main chords, allowing Mike to open up and Page to layer over top. A great version, highly recommended to the point that Fish even remarks "that's why I'm in the band" afterwards.
Clod, in its heyday, is next, which is unusually long and extended. The band locks into a totally raging groove at the end of the song which lasts a full three minutes longer than most Clods. For those of you who enjoy Fluffhead in its long-standing current form, I suggest listening to this Clod and wondering what it would be like if Clod were liberated. "Would you rather hear something normal, or something else weird" asks Trey afterwards.
The band then moves into the Curtain, which outshines the early August version and is very exploratory compared to future 80's versions. Light Up follows and features a chaotic and frenzied jam which most people will find totally dissonant, but I find raging. Great work from Fishman. The jam upsets Marley, though, who by this time is going absolutely nuts and Trey has to get her to calm down. Funny banter here. Accordingly, the band breezes through Shaggy Dog and starts Wilson. This Wilson, again, is one of my favorite versions, maybe ever. It certainly is one of the longest non-heavy-metal versions the band has played and features the absolute best Wilson 'breaks', when a series of Marley barks coincides with a break in the song.
The Camel Walk closer doesn't go over particularly well with the audience, as someone whistles briefly, but I think this is one of the more crisp exploratory versions there is. Mike is very very funky in an old-school way here and Fish is fantastic. What a set...worth listening the whole way through.
The second set opens with a early Mike's, featuring an extremely slow beat. If you like totally dissonant jams, this Mike is for you. Think Union Federal here. After meandering, the band locks on a two-chord groove which dissolves into quiet carnival-like eerie sixteenth notes from Trey which moves back into chaos. Out of the din, the whole band fully jams on Hold Your Head Up before fading away.
Harpua is 'by request', but the audience is laughing so hard that the band has to restart. It's clear that everyone is enjoying themselves, including the band. Despite the goofy sloppy start, this Harpua is slow to begin but Mega-fast and funky once it gets going. I love the changing dynamics in this version. Within it, the band plays Bundle of Joy, which makes its debut, but instead of the familiar Fluffhead outro, Fish's cowbell brings us into a funky Harpua jam which absolutely rages. Without breaking stride, the jam somehow lands into Golgi, which is particularly strong.
The last chord of Golgi leads to some spacey chords while Fish takes a leak. The audience is clamoring for Fish to sing, which is funny, but the band instead launches into a totally ripping Sparks. Afterwards, Trey chatters a while and explains that the band has 'two songs called Fee', which Mike says 'we learned in the service. The short Flat Fee moves into a tailored Fee.
"We'd like to do an original by Little Feat", quips Mike, so the band plays Skin it Back. Skin it Back is absolutely and totally chaotic and atonal, with Trey playing literally ALL over the place for a solid 5 minutes. Somehow, Fish moves the band to a slinky groove which ends up into Low Rider, although Trey sings La Bamba and the band continues the slink for another few minute. The pace quickens and ends up into Back Porch Boogie, which, again, totally rages. At around 7 minutes, Fish is in a latin groove, Trey is playing muted scales, and Page is all over the place and the band somehow goes right into the Sloth, which closes. Aside from the two Fee's, this show looks on paper like a set from late '97, with continuous playing and 10+ minute jams.
Set 3 is short, but also full of total gems. BBFCFM is introduced as Melanie's "Brand New Key". The slower BBFCFM, to me, works way better as a song than current versions at break-neck speed. After singing falsetto, Trey says that BBFCFM was actually by Jermaine Osmond. Then, for perhaps the first time ever, the band teases Fish by playing HYHU. Fish doesn't play along and it's clear that he 'doesn't think its funny'. It is obvious that he totally hates the song, which is hilarious. The audience goads Fish to sing, but he won't. It's a good thing because Trey leads the band into "the Gala Event", aka, McGrupp, which is a wonderful version. I love the way Fish approaches it here.
The band stretches out McGrupp into unknown territory and soon into driving chaos which exemplifies the jams of this period. However, Mike guides them back to normalcy by playing 'Stir it Up' which the band plays for about 5 or so minutes. Continuing the reggae theme, the band moves into Makisupa which has Trey freestyle rapping, akin to the Happy Birthday rap from 3/6/87. This rap has everything from Rasta Jah screaming to talking about picking up Marley doo. While this is the Makisupa chords, the band never really sings Makisupa and instead stretches everything out over volume swells by Trey.
Finally, Trey gathers his sanity and the band starts up David Bowie. After some stuttering, the band locks on. Bowie is herky-jerky, very quiet, although does contain a heavy Tom Sawyer tease. Bowie never ends, but moves into marching chords which somehow turn into Sanity. This Sanity is also chaotic and totally goofy. Swing Low is beautiful and serves as a lullabye for the by-now quieted audience. It's also 'an original song...by a slave'.
Highlights of this show are too many to name. The Dog Log, Peaches, and Bitch are easily some of the best early versions. Hood smokes, and Light Up is probably also one of the best ever. I really can't say enough about set I. The whole thing is worth a spin. I've recommended this show to countless people over the years.
Set 2 features absolutely chaotic jams and difficult-to-believe transitions into totally random covers. I particularly like the Harpua>Bundle of Joy>Harpua>Golgi>Sparks here. Set 3 is also a joy to listen to. While the McGrupp ----> Makisupa -> Bowie is the highlight, Sanity and BBFCFM are hilarious.
This is absolutely one of the strongest Phish shows of the 80s, and likely one of the best shows the band has ever played, as it continues to show up time after time in polls and in forums. Definitely check this one out. Don't be scared away by the fact that it's from '87!

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It all went down at the Greyhound Bus Depot in downtown Augusta.
Mohammad Abukhdair, 25, was arrested Tuesday morning.
Employees say the place was crawling with agents. Some in the waiting room, others on buses, some even up in the air.
According to the affidavit, Abukhdair was planning on taking a bus from here to Canada, where he would then fly to Morocco. We're told he had to fly out of Canada because he's already been denied from flying in the U.S.
Federal prosecutors say he planned to "wage violent jihad" overseas. That means he planned to maim, injure or kill persons outside of the U.S.
But his stop at the Augusta bus depot turned out to be the end of his journey.
A woman waiting on a bus this afternoon said she almost took the morning bus when all this was going down and said now she's a little nervous to travel at all.
"I'm scared. I'm scared because I don't know what's going to happen, cause you never know," said Maria Garcia as she waited on her bus.
Investigators say the violence overseas wasn't the only plan Abukhdair had.
Earlier this year he was looking to hit a little closer to home.
We're told back in February he was planning to commit a terrorist act within the United States. He suggested a shootout with police or filling a car with explosives and driving into a building.
He's quoted as saying, "Well, at the very least, we kill them all, and it's going to make the government look bad if they just let all of their citizens die."
Now he's behind bars, charged with conspiring to provide material to terrorists and passport fraud.
People waiting to catch a bus this afternoon said that's proof that nowadays, you can't trust anyone.
Roderick McBride was waiting on a bus with family.
"Now you just got to watch everything your surroundings. Everything just really crazy now you never know what you up to," he said.
This isn't the first time Abukhdair has been arrested. He lived in Egypt back in 2010 and was arrested there, too, for suspected connections to a terrorist group.
After he was released, he was deported. That's when he came to the U.S.
He was actually born in New York but lived in the U.S. and overseas, most recently in Mobile, Ala.
He told an undercover FBI agent that the end goal for Islam was to take over the world and that jihad was the way to achieve that goal.
Abukhdair was one of two suspects arrested by FBI agents. They found him at Augusta's bus terminal, but the second suspect was found about 157 miles away.
The FBI says Randy Wilson was taken into custody at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. Agents say he was trying to board a flight for Morocco. Investigators say Wilson, who is also known as Rasheed Wilson, met Abukhdair online in 2010.
Then, in August 2011, the two men met with what we're told was an undercover FBI agent. They told that agent they had a plan to travel overseas and wage a violent jihad.
The FBI says Wilson and Abukhdair wanted to get involved in a conflict in Mauritania or a country near there. Mauritania is in West Africa.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Winning the single game on Friday afternoon 10-6, the Augusta State Jaguars returned to Lake Olmstead Stadium on Saturday, Feb. 2 to split the doubleheader – winning game one 5-4 and dropping the second 10-0.

Senior righty Josh Barks took the rubber in the seventh, giving up a solo shot to C-N's Bo Ausmus for a 2-2 tie. Freshman Garrett Haskins started the eighth, but got into troubles which lead to freshman right-hander David Bermudez's first mound appearance.
The Jags hit two batters in the eighth and walked one to give the lead back to C-N. An error in the ninth put the Eagles up 4-2 entering ASU's final at bat. Crown and freshman Hunter Boose led off the ninth with two singles. Crown scored on a wild pitch, while Boose was plated off a Seth Foster single to even things 4-4. A Rice single moved Foster the third and Mee's single plated Foster for a ninth-inning comeback victory.
Bermudez got the win on the mound, while Rice went 4-7 at the plate. Crown was 3-6 with two scored runs and Foster went 2-4 with two RBIs.

I had a similar scraper that I loved to use when I wash dishes. Then I saw this one and decided to purchase it because of the "handle" along one side. I like this one better than my old one because the handle area seems to add a little more leverage. I like this kind of scraper because you don't scratch your metal pans by accident if you have to scrape anything out, there's no issues using it in a non stick pan, and it would probably be pretty efficient at scraping plates before adding them to a dishwasher as well.
