PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Warriors' thrilling comeback attempt at Portland fell short, and so did their efforts at moving up in the Western Conference standings.
Despite a season-high 47 points from Stephen Curry and a Draymond Green 3-pointer to force overtime, the Warriors lost 119-117 to Portland and are consigned to no better than the No. 6 spot and a likely meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. The Trail Blazers, surviving a 3-point try by Andre Iguodala on the Warriors' final possession, secured at least the No. 5 spot.
But coach Mark Jackson was proud of his team and especially Curry for a performance he called "absolutely amazing."
Curry scored at will, going 16 for 29 from the field, and Jackson pointed to his star for making correct decisions in dishing off to Green for the game-tying 3-pointer with 3.6 seconds left in regulation and then Iguodala for an open look for the win. Iguodala, who has hit two game-winners this season, saw his 3-point attempt go off the rim.
"Again, Steph Curry makes the play," Jackson said. "I just love the guy.
"He's been special. He's been absolutely special."
Curry had 44 points at the end of regulation and was 7 for 14 from 3-point range, and Klay Thompson added 25 points and a 6-for-10 performance from long distance in the shootout.
The Warriors did lose center Andrew Bogut, who left the game in the fourth quarter after getting hit in the ribs and did not return. He was scheduled to undergo an X-ray, and a significant injury would do damage to the team's chances of advancing.
Curry felt the team had showed this season that it was postseason-ready.
"We always find a way to show up in big games," Curry said.
"Tonight was great preparation for that kind of intensity and level we need to be at."
LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 26 points and hit the go-ahead shot with 39.9 seconds left in overtime to make it 118-117. Wesley Matthews added 24, and Nicolas Batum had 18 points and 12 rebounds.
"That's an effort we can live with," Green said. "We made big shots when we needed to make big shots."
The Warriors led 52-44 at halftime after Curry hit a 3-pointer and connected on three free throws after drawing a foul from beyond the arc with three-tenths of a second left.
Golden State scored the final eight points of the second quarter, with Curry capping off the half with 21 points. He became the only player in NBA history to hit 250 3-pointers in multiple seasons.
Portland's Mo Williams hit a jump shot with 2:08 left in the third to give the Trail Blazers the lead, opening up the floodgates. Williams followed with a 3-pointer, and Matthews hit a shot from beyond the arc with Curry in his face to make it 76-71 Portland.
The Trail Blazers opened the fourth with a 14-4 run to take an 11-point lead before Curry responded with back-to-back 3-pointers to cut the lead to four and give him 40 points on the evening. Curry's 47 points tied him for the second-most he's scored in a single game.
"He's playing with so much confidence, and you can tell whenever he goes out there, he kind of has that aura where no matter who comes to see him play, he's playing as if that might be the only time they might ever see him play," said Iguodala.

Self-help or empowerment, involvement or participation: All four are not only central concepts of health promotion, but also of the self-help movement. Like other countries, Austria has seen enormous strides being made in this area in recent years. Today there are more than a thousand active self-help organizations in this country. Fonds Gesundes Österreich is the logical base for SIGIS, a long-standing nation-wide project to support health initiatives and self-help organizations throughout Austria.
We offer the following services in connection with SIGIS:
- We run an Austria-wide database on self-help groups and organizations and update it constantly. In this database, you will find the entire Austrian self-help scene. Information can be called up by province or by subject.
- We operate the SIGIS phone service which provides information for individuals interested in the organization's services or in the way self-help groups function.
- We publish brochures on various subjects relating to self-help – directories, tips and analyses. You can order these publications here.
- We support regional self-help support organizations, especially with courses and seminars.
- We cooperate with ArGe Selbsthilfe, an alliance of regional self-help associations and contact points. This entity bundles the concerns and interests of the many organizations involved and seeks to represent them in pertinent national bodies.

Former drug and alcohol abusers are living right across from an elementary school, and they now have legal backing to stay. A home for recovering addicts called "New Creation" has been across from Martinez Elementary since September. At Tuesday's commission meeting, the county attorney said that by law, the house can stay. News 12 is on your side with Tuesday's heated debate on what all this means for your children's safety.
About thirty filled the room, most to protest and some to show support. Jewel Pennington says sarcastically, at least one of the three people living in the house right now is likely to have a relapse.
"We need the house relocated for the safety of our children," Pennington said.
She collected almost 370 signatures on a petition to fight the house. She addressed the commission along with Martinez Elementary's principal and a worried neighbor.
The signatures might not have any effect, but Commissioner Tommy Mercer can. He shares their concern for the nearly 800 children across the street.
"If they make any additions to that house, that will qualify them for a rezoning, and we'll rezone it," Mercer said.
Right now, the home is considered a residence. If they make any changes, they'll need county approval.
The county attorney says this home provides a social service for the disabled. And they have to be given an equal opportunity to live in the area. New Creation's Executive Director Tonya Weeks says they watch their residents round the clock and require strict background checks.
"We don't have a reason to move, we don't have anything to complain about, we have a wonderful location," Weeks said.
For her, this is a Christian mission to help others. But some worry for the well-being of their children who pass by the house every day. Since New Creation is considered a residence, they can have up to six people there. If they go above that or make any additions, they will need permission from the county.
The Columbia County Sheriff's Department says they don't generally have any problems with places like this. And the executive director of New Creation says anyone who relapses will be expelled from the program.

Today, we announced that BookRenter has saved students over $101 million dollars off the cost of textbooks. This is not only a special day for BookRenter, but also for me personally. When I started BookRenter I hoped that we'd reach a point where we would help so many students afford school, but now I can see this is really just the beginning. I got the idea to start BookRenter when I was a college student at Santa Clara University. Like students today, I was extremely frustrated with the high cost of textbooks. While at school, I worked three part-time jobs to help cover my out of pocket expenses, and textbooks were always the largest. The more I thought about it, the more I realized the status quo – buying textbooks and selling them back – is just a really expensive rental. When I started BookRenter, textbook rental was a new thing and today thanks in large part to BookRenter, rentals are fast becoming the preferred method for getting course materials.
From the very beginning, our mission at BookRenter has been to make education more affordable. After tuition, textbooks are the largest educational expense. Course materials cost on average $1,137 per year (College Board); that is a staggering number. For the millions of people attending community college, that averages about 40% of the annual cost of education. By renting textbooks, students can save up to 80%– that's about $500 per year depending on what you study. When you start to apply that savings across the student population of the US, the result is tremendous. And for students scraping by on loans and grants to get through school, the impact of textbook rental takes on a whole new meaning. We created this picture to help people see how huge textbook rental can be. It makes us realize that $101 million is really just the beginning; $172 billion, here we come.

Catholics have always turned instinctively for help to the Mother of God in times of need. And so, in 2013 we turn to Our Lady for help. Many of the values that shaped our Country from the beginning seem to be at risk. Pope Francis and the American Bishops have noted the erosion of religious freedom in the United States, the first value guaranteed by the Constitution.
This Novena to the Mother of God for the Nation will remind us of some of the central truths of the faith, in particular, the Incarnation, passion, death, resurrection of the Lord and Mary's unique role in our salvation. It will be, in a way, a catechism lesson that challenges us to a deeper conversion to Christ and a more generous life of charity.
Join us for Mass every morning at 8 am ET starting June 26 and continuing through July 4. To view live click here.

Cheezburger CEO Huh Takes Laughs to Reality TV With 'LOLwork'
The founder of Cheezburger, Ben Huh, makes funny images and videos fly around the Internet. He also makes media companies attractive to venture capital investors. And now, the CEO makes quite a character on a new reality TV series called "LOLwork." (The show airs Wednesdays at 11:00 p.m. eastern on Bravo TV, and online via Hulu.)
Somewhere between workplace sitcom "The Office" and "America's Funniest Home Videos," "LOLwork" shows the sweat and effort involved in making a start-up successful. It follows Cheezburger's creative team on a mission to "make people laugh for five minutes a day" with the sites they operate, including I Can Has Cheezburger, Fail Blog and Memebase.
Team members curate and create content, compete for assignments, debate what's funny, and talk about how to keep widening their fan base. They fight, sometimes, but make it look enjoyable, and it's authentic.
By contrast, another recently launched Bravo series, "Silicon.Valley," is a tabloid-take on fledgling founders that drew comparisons to "Jersey Shore," "The Real Housewives" and other series known to pit drama queens against each other.
Ben Huh says Cheezburger and "LOLwork" is ironically low-to-no-drama. "We prefer to get s— done," he says. The attitude impacts time spent in board meetings, he claims.
Board members get reports from Cheezburger "in a constant stream, so nothing is a surprise," he says. Meetings take two hours, and focus on solving problems, not financials or a big reveal about the company's progress or failures.
Investors Brad Feld from Foundry Group, Greg Gottesman from Madrona Venture Group, and Rich Levandov from Avalon Ventures sit on Cheezburger's board. How did Huh get their permission to show the world exactly how the memes get made? He didn't ask permission at all.
The CEO just asked himself what were the upside and downside for Cheezburger. "If things go wrong, so what? We spent some time and took a risk. If there's an upside, well, lots more people who don't know our site will probably visit it," he decided.
There were a few ground rules. Huh wanted to "make the show funny…not catty, not about throwing drinks in people's faces." He also wanted to "trust the [show producers] enough that [nobody] would hamstring them from making a good show." Most importantly, he determined "they can make fun of us but not our users."
As a result of "LOLwork," Huh says business hasn't changed much—at least not yet.
However, "It's been very weird! The number of times people you don't know add you on Facebook immediately increases," he admitted. "And then there's the day-to-day stuff — you'll be eating lunch at your desk and look up and 15 people are surrounding you with mikes and cameras. You're like, 'Why is this happening right now?'"
He can't guess how many man-hours the company gave to make "LOLwork." "Some of the show follows the staff on the weekend when they are off the clock," he noted. "Many people worked crazy long hours and their meetings have taken longer, so they've had to stay later, but have all been compensated."
Nobody was forced to participate, he says. Most wanted to, though. "There were operational challenges at first, but that settled down after a week, especially because the TV crew have food," he quipped. "It's called craft services. I learned some new words."
Though he'll make fun of himself, including on national TV, Ben Huh say there's one thing he won't be making anymore–direct investments in start-ups. "I did a bit of angel investing, then realized I don't know what the f— I am doing," he exclaimed.
Successful entrepreneurs are typically expected to "give back to the scene" by seeding entrepreneurial hopefuls. But when Huh found himself "looking at five separate deals, unable to tell one apart from the other in terms of value," he says, he decided he was no angel investor.
He understands things like good valuations and deal terms from the CEO side of the table, not the investor side. He still advises and co-founds select companies, though, only when he knows the market and can make a real contribution, he says.
Most recently, Huh (who studied at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism) co-founded Cir.ca in San Francisco. Cir.ca's news app "breaks news down to its atomic elements, to make it better, more trackable, measurable and responsive to the user."
Otherwise, Huh gives back to the tech start-up scene as a limited partner in seed funds 500 Startups and Founders Co-op.
As for its own funding, Cheezburger has raised more than $32 million in venture funding to date. It's using the capital to transform itself into a "platform for humor," Huh says, instead of a media brand. "We are turning over more and more of the control to our users. We want people to make each other happy."
Cheezburger landed at No. 28 on The Wall Street Journal's 2012 list of the top 50 U.S. venture-backed companies.

Baylor sealed the first game 6-1 and followed it with a 3-0 victory improving to 6-1 while the Islanders dropped their sixth game against Top 25 opponents to move to 1-6.

Game 1: Baylor 6, Texas A&M – Corpus Christi 1
Baylor jumped out to a 1-0 lead at the top of the second. Megan Turk started the Lady Bears offense with a solo shot and advanced to third on a Delaney Guy single and an error before stealing home for the Lady Bears' first run of the day.
The Islanders knotted the score at 1-1 at the bottom of the fourth when Cassie Carroll stepped up to the plate to open the frame. The freshman ripped her first career home run over the left field fence on a 2-1 count.
The Lady Bears took the lead for good though, answering in the top of the fifth inning with two runs on three hits. Baylor's hurler Whitney Canion doubled to left center to plate two runs to give the Lady Bears' a 3-1 lead. Baylor's powerful bats rolled on through the sixth frame to score three more runs to cap the scoring. Kathy Shelton doubled to right center to drive in one run and eventually scored on a Kayce Walker single. Holly Holl's RBI single scored Walker before the Islanders pitching staff brought in sophomore Constance Brandenburg to finish the inning.
Senior Jordan Trujillo (1-2) took the loss for the Islanders in five innings pitched. She allowed nine hits on six runs while walking three and striking out three. Brandenburg recorded one strikeout in her first inning of action this season.
Carroll led the Islanders with two hits while senior Hannah Schwarz and freshman Hayley Galloway each added one hit apiece.
The Lady Bears' Whitney Canion (3-0) picked up the victory in six innings of work. She allowed three hits, one run, six walks while striking out seven batters.
Game 2: Baylor 3, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi 0
Baylor carried over their momentum into the second game to tack up two runs in the opening frame. Shelton and Walker singled off Greta Cecchetti to jumpstart the Lady Bears offense. Shelton tacked up Baylor's first run of the game, scoring on a wild pitch and Walker stole third before Holly Holl added an RBI double to plate Walker and give the Lady Bears a 3-0 lead.
The Islanders and Lady Bears had quiet bats until the top of the sixth. Baylor padded the lead to 3-0 when Jordan Strickland's single down the left field line rolled fair off of Vianca Pesina who came in to relieve Cecchetti. Shelbi Redfearn's RBI double to left center scored Strickland to finish the scoring.
Cecchetti (0-2) took the loss for the Islanders in five innings of work. The senior gave up six hits, two runs, one walk while striking out four. Pesina allowed just three hits, one run while striking out two in two innings of work.
Freshman Mickayla Heller recorded the Islanders only hit of the game while redshirt freshman Valerie Perez tallied the Islanders only walk of the game.
Courtney Repka went the distance sealing her second victory of the season and limited the Islanders to just one hit and one walk while striking out five in seven innings.

Collected by M.C. Parler Robert Wilcox
Bald Knob, Ark. August 5, 1960
Reel 411, Item 4
Autobiographical narrative MCP: Where were you raised?
RW: Up here at Bradford in White County. Bradford's ten
miles north of here, towards St. Louis.
You know, when I was a young feller — well, my father got killed when I was sixteen years old. He was killed the seventh of October before I was sixteen the twenty-ninth of March. And we was uh my sister and Daddy and I were living together -- and Mother died when I was seven years old, we lived in Searcy County then. Marshall's the county seat of Searcy County, you know where that is*
So we came to Bradford when I was seven years old. And my brother -- well, I had a older sister that was with us then — and kept house for us till she married, and then Daddy and my little sister and me. we just batched! So he got killed in the Fall, the seventh of October before I was sixteen years old.
And I worked by the month all the time on the farm.
And I went to work on the farm when I was just a little feller, for five dollars a month — four dollars a month, in fact, first time I ever harred out, four dollars a month. Lived with the family I was working for, and they done my board and washing. And uh McKnight up here at Russellville is -- some of 'em are living yet, the ones I worked for.
I worked by the month all the time as I started to tell you. And after he got killed, I went to Missouri.
And I carried the -- I knowed the letters but I didn't know the writin' letters. And I carried my Reader and Blue Back spellin' book. And I learnt how to make the letters out of that Second Reader.Reel 411, Item 4
And we went up there after Christmas. We got to Missouri after Christmas, Neosho, Missouri. And I wrote to Jim Westinhan (?) Willie Westinhan. I come back and went to work for him the first of March. And I wrote to him, wrote him a letter good enough for him to read it. But I don't know all the capital letters yet. But I learnt them letters and wrote him a letter, and come back. I walked from Neosho, Missouri, down through them hills.
MCP: How long did it take you to walk that far?
RW: I can't tell you how long I was a-coming to Marshall,
Arkansas, but I was two days and a half a-coming from Marshall to Bradford. It's a hundred -- we was up there the other day, and come right down through the country, only they've got a good road now. It was just through the woods when I come down there, you might say. You know how the roads was away back yonder.
MCP: Would you find some house to stay in for the night?
RW: I didn't finish it. I didn't have no money when I
left up there. And my brother -- I don't know how much we had to start out from Missouri to Marshall. But we spent the
last dime we had. We lay out one night. That's the only
time I ever lay out in my life that I really had to lay out. Just this side of Eureka Springs, between Eureka Springs and Berryville. And we actually had to lay out, we couldn't get a place to stay all night. Is that thing turning now?
MCP: Uh huh. I want it. Go ahead.
RW: So we got to my uncle's at Marshall, and he wouldn't
come no further. I stayed there for some time, I don't know just how long I was there. And I got a hold of seventy- five cents some way, I don't know how I got it, couldn't tell you that. But when I left Marshall I had seventy-five cents. And my cousin come with me a half a day on a horse.
We rode fifteen miles. And I hit out the rest of the way — never been out among strangers in my life before. And just before dark I walked up to a house, nice place, and asked if I could get a chance to stay all night. And he says "Yes, come in." And I went in. I had seventy-five cents, and I didn't have no more idea than nothing what it was to cost me.Reel 411, Item 4
But next morning I asked what I owed 'em. Said a quarter.
I give 'em a quarter and that left me fifty cents. Now
I don't know what I done for dinner. But the next night I
stayed up fourteen mile yon side of Flora (?), and it's twenty mile yon side of Denmark, where I was landin' at.
And I paid a quarter there. But I don't know what I done for dinner. But I stayed two nights, cost me fifty cents.
And I made it in two days and a half.
I went to church with a feller down here, here a while back, went to Batesville. It was just this side of Batesville, we went up there to church one night. I told 'em. says "I could tell you fellers something that you wouldn't believe." And you there are not very many people will believe that. Now I walked right down through them hills.
We was up there the other day and the car registered a hundred and six miles up here a mile and a half above here*
That would be a hundred and seven miles and a half to here.
And we come right down by Timbo and Alco. First time I been to them places since I walked down through there.
MCP: Was that about 1900?
RW: About 1900 the last time I was up there. But I believe
I was a-horseback.
MCP: Did you farm?
RW: Yes'm, worked by the month on the farm.
MCP: After you were grown and married?
RW: Yes'm. Well, now I farmed uh, and I worked for the railroad company but I farmed on the side. I worked for the railroad company. I pumped for the railroad company down here twelve years. And I fired on the road 'bout two years.
But I didn't have no education, and I was afraid if I tried to stand the examination I couldn't make it. And I never did go and stand the examination. Thought I'd get by without that, and I was firing on the road here, just a-working extra out here. And they just quit calling me. and I didn't have no seniority and nothing I could do about it. Well, if I'd a went on -- they wanted me -- I went over there and madeReel 411, Item 4
application. And my application was OK, but I was afraid I couldn't stand the examination. So I thought I could get by without it and they'd call me and I wouldn't say nothing about it. But there was nothing I could do about it.
Then I went to work for the railroad company pumping, I pumped twelve years down here at ....

The Daily Startup: Russian Mogul Backs U.K.'s Truphone for U.S. Expansion
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Truphone, a mobile service provider aimed at international travelers, has raised 75 million U.K. pounds ($118.6 million), the largest amount since electronic-reader company Plastic Logic raised GBP89.7 million at the end of 2010, according to VentureSource, a research unit of Dow Jones. The company plans to use the funds to build out its U.S. presence. The round values the company at GBP300 million and gives the lead investor, Minden, a 23.3% stake in the company in exchange for providing GBP70 million of the new capital. Minden is the personal investment vehicle of Roman Abramovich, a Russian billionaire and owner of Chelsea Football Club.
WSO2 has raised a $10 million Series C round at a valuation of $40 million to $50 million as it plans to capitalize on industry shifts in middleware, the software that lies between applications and their underlying hardware. Middleware is changing rapidly as cloud and mobile computing become more prominent. The financing was led by Toba Capital, with Cisco Systems and current investor Intel Capital participating.
Also in today's VentureWire, JIBE has raised $10 million in new funding to help people apply for jobs via mobile devices, and to make it fast, but not too fast…Tandem Diabetes Care, a startup that sells insulin pumps featuring touch screens, is moving further into the diabetes-treatment space with the acquisition of intellectual property from Smiths Medical ASD…and Rover.com, a service that connects dog owners with pet sitters, said it has secured $7 million in Series B funding led by new investor Foundry Group and joined by existing investor Madrona Venture Group.

Elsewhere around the Web:
Cloud-computing competition builds as Microsoft and Google try harder to unseat Amazon in providing data storage and number-crunching to startups and other businesses, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Facing a difficult fundraising climate and poor returns, venture firms are taking radical steps, including reshaping partnerships, cutting fund sizes and changing investment focus. The WSJ looks at one recent example, Seattle's Ignition Partners.
Twitter said it discovered "sophisticated" efforts to hack account data that might have obtained limited information for 250,000 users. The venture-backed messaging service said it reset their passwords as a precaution.
Groupon venture-backed rival, LivingSocial, is in questionable financial shape based on financial data published by investor Amazon, says WSJ's Heard on the Street.

Pyrrhic Victory
"… the dust floating above the battlefield slowly faded away. As far as the eye could see dead bodies covered the blood-soaked ground. And amidst all that gore and death, on top of the hill, a small group of men still stood proudly under the victorious side banner. They were wounded, tired, could barely hold their swords and spears.

Valdosta, GA -- No. 1 Valdosta State swept Saint Leo Wednesday, 6-2, 10-3, led by the dangerous hitting of senior shortstop Marti Littlefield and strong pitching of the National Fastpitch Coaches' Association's National Pitcher of the Week, Alanna Hadley.
The wins push the Blazers to 27-2 on the season. Hadley, the Gulf South Conference's Pitcher of the Week as well, picked up two wins Wednesday, pitching 9.1 innings. She gave up four hits and just one earned run while walking three and striking out five.
Littlefield, meanwhile, led all hitters with a five for six performance, two home runs and five runs batted in. She also scored two runs. Behind Littlefield were three other players hitting above .500 for the day: Morgan Johnson, Clare Wamsley and Courtney Albritton. Those three combined for 11 hits, six run and six RBI. Johnson added a home run of her.
April Hutchens and Natalia Morozova also had multiple hits on the day while Hutchens scored twice and Morozova made it home once. Also scoring was Samantha Posey and Angela O'Connor, O'Connor doing it three times.
Giving Hadley support in the pitcher's circle was Courtney Gunby and Brianna Hancock. Gunby struck out one, walked one, gave up one earned run and two hits in three innings. Hancock, meanwhile, struck out one and gave up four hits in 1.2 innings of work.
In game one, Johnson started with a single, then stole second. Littlefield plated Johnson with a double to centerfield. Saint Leo answered with a run of its own, but the Blazers fought back with an Albritton run in the third inning. She singled and moved to second on a Johnson sacrifice. Littlefield came through again with a single to right center to plate Albritton and VSU's second run of the day.
Next inning, the Blazers put one more run up. Wamsley singled to right field and went to second on an Albritton single. Johnson doubled next to score Wamsley and give VSU a two-run cushion. In the top of the sixth, however, Saint Leo pulled within one, 3-2. That's when Johnson broke the game open.
Hutchens ran out an infield single she hit to third and moved to second on an Albritton sacrifice. Johnson followed with a two-run homer to left field to give the Blazers a three-run lead, 5-2. Valdosta State would score one more before the inning was over, and then held Saint Leo scoreless in the seventh for the first victory of the day.
Albritton was the first to score in game two, leading off with an infield single to third. After making her way to third on Saint Leo errors off the bats of Johnson and Littlefield, Albritton scored on a Morozova ground out.
In the second inning, O'Connor doubled to center field and pushed her way to third on a Wamsley sacrifice, one of two in the game. When Hutchen put the ball in play next, the SLU second baseman booted it and O'Connor scored.
With a 2-0 lead headed into the fourth, Valdosta State felt in control, but two errors and three Lion hits put Saint Leo on top, 3-2. The Blazers were able to answer in the bottom of the inning when O'Connor, Wamsley and Hutchens basically repeated their work from the second inning.
O'Connor went to first after being hit by a pitch, then Wamsley sacrificed her over to second. Hutchens stepped up to single to left field and plate O'Connor.
After another scoreless performance from Saint Leo, Valdosta State opened the game up with five runs in the fifth, four of which were unearned. Posey was the first to reach on an error by the SLU third baseman. Then Littlefield hit one of her two home runs in the game right down the left line, so far left it actually hit the foul pole.
With two runs in the inning, the Blazers rode the momentum. O'Connor was hit by another pitch, and then Wamsley ran out an infield single to the shortstop. Hutchens singled to left to score O'Connor followed by another left field single from Albritton to plate Wamsley and Hutchens.
Valdosta State, holding an already commanding lead, 8-3, added two more runs in the sixth inning. Littlefield hit her second home run, this time a solo. She chose to hit this one over the centerfield wall. After that, Morozova reached on a walk. Thanks to a Steinhilber sacrifice bunt and a passed ball, Morozova was already at third. Wamsley notched the RBI when Morozova scored on her single to left field.
The Blazers take to the road to face Christian Brothers and Delta State this weekend and will return home to square off against Albany State next week.

As a History major or minor, you are entering a course of study that is both exciting and challenging. Historians are asking new questions of the historical record; there is strong public interest in history; and increasingly, researchers are considering the experiences and contributions of those who have been left out of the "traditional" historical narrative. These developments translate into unprecedented opportunities to practice history professionally and to contribute to our historical understanding, but also demand that historians grapple with difficult questions, an "information explosion," and the need to integrate other disciplines into their study of history.
To meet the challenges of history in the twenty-first century, the Western Michigan University Department of History encourages students to develop broad historical content knowledge as well as analytical, research, and writing skills. History students learn to frame historical questions, to use a wide array of historical resources, to analyze and evaluate evidence, and to communicate their conclusions in a variety of ways. Students are encouraged to compliment their studies in history with course work in other disciplines like anthropology, political science, or geography.

Stand up paddleboarding is a sport that's exploding in popularity in the U.S. and in Central Oregon. In this week's edition of "Get Started," NewsChannel 21's Kim Tobin gets some lessons in how to stay afloat.
Before splashing into the water, Sun Country Tours owner Dennis Oliphant makes sure his clients learn the basics on dry land. He teaches them to find the "sweet spot" on the board.
"You pull yourself forward with just your toes if you have to go forward a little more," said Oliphant. "To go back, just raise your heels and shimmy back so you have equal weight on your feet."
Next, I learned how to hold the paddle and switch sides.
Instead of taking long strides, Oliphant says shorter, swift ones are more effective. Using your whole body is key, and if your ab muscles start to hurt-- you know it's working.
In Oregon, a life jacket is required on board, so we suit up and hit the water. When you get in, make sure to be about knee deep, enough to get the fin off the sand.
Standing up in the water proves to be a bit harder than on the dry land.
"Shaft down, feet up, hips low and stand up slowly," Oliphant said.
I make it up onto the board, keeping my knees bent, and I start paddling right away.
They're asking themselves, 'Is it really that hard?'" said Oliphant. "It's really not. Generally, it's climbing out on the thing, standing up and paddling away."
After a couple laps, I can see keeping my arms straight and using my whole body is key to not tiring out fast.
Once I start getting the hang of it, Dennis and I head up the Deschutes River. When the river gets rough, we bend our knees more and try to stay close to shore.
IIt's the fastest growing water sport in the world, by far," Oliphant said. "The industries cannot even really keep up with the demand."
By the end of the lesson, my form is spot on.
"Oh, perfect!" Oliphant tells me. "Don't change a thing. That's a great paddle stroke."
To rent a paddleboard, most places in Central Oregon cost about $20 an hour. To purchase your own, the boards start around $500 and go up from there.

Boyfriend accused of kidnapping, rape, beating
Published: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 5:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 9:01 a.m.
A Houma man is accused of beating and raping his live-in girlfriend at gunpoint.
Dennis Paul Bourgeois, 34, 117 Janabeth St., is also charged with beating his 9-year-old daughter last week, causing extensive bruising, the Sheriff's Office said.
Bourgeois's long-time girlfriend reported Sunday afternoon that he attacked her a day earlier, detectives said.
Under the law, holding someone somewhere at gunpoint is considered kidnapping.
The girlfriend sought help from a family friend and sought medical attention at a local hospital, and authorities have taken her and the girl to a safe location, the Sheriff's Office said.
Bourgeois was apprehended Monday in Thibodaux, Terrebonne detectives said. He is charged with cruelty to a juvenile, second-degree kidnapping, two counts of aggravated rape and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

OAKLAND -- Two years ago, the McClymonds High football team waited around for the opportunity that never came.
One of the best teams in school history saw its season end with a Silver Bowl victory and a 12-0 record. It was a great accomplishment, but the Warriors wanted more. They wanted a shot at a state title.
"Nothing will ever replace that season, because it was a special season," McClymonds coach Curtis McCauley said. "That team missed a great opportunity that can never be replaced."
Old wounds are clearly hard to heal, but the Warriors have a shot at some redemption Friday when they face Central Catholic-Modesto in the inaugural California Interscholastic Federation Division IV Northern regional championship bowl game. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. at Lincoln High in Stockton.
"We've been calling this a redemption game," said senior lineman Kevin Vaughn, who was also a starter on the 2010 team. "I think we deserved a shot in 2010."
Mack, like all Oakland Section schools, was considered a Division II team two years ago and was passed over for the state bowl berth in favor of Folsom, which boasted a better strength of schedule.
The CIF since has changed its divisional placements. Oakland Section schools are now in Division III, and because McClymonds' enrollment is less than 500, it's placed in Division IV.
The state added the regional bowl games this year to give more teams a shot at a state title, and that's created what McCauley calls a "lifetime opportunity."
"I don't know what it feels like to practice this time of the year," he said. "I'm usually collecting equipment and getting ready for the team banquet."
Members of the 2010 team will be rooting for Mack to take advantage of the opportunity they didn't have.
"I'm excited for them," said Marcus Peters, the star of the 2010 team who is a starting cornerback at the University of Washington. "They finally get the chance to show what they can do."
The Warriors (9-3) have enjoyed one of the best three-year runs in recent Oakland Athletic League history, going 31-5 and winning the past three Silver Bowls. Mack has won 21 straight against OAL competition.
The success has come thanks to dedication by the players and its coaching staff. The OAL requires twice-weekly study hall sessions; Mack has study hall four days a week. That's helped the Warriors maintain a roster of eligible players, even if they average only 25 on their roster.
Mack enters this game feeling as though everyone expects it to lose, creating the type of underdog role it relishes.
The Warriors expect to see a very disciplined opponent in Central Catholic, but they have seen top competition this year.
Mack faced an Oak Grove-San Jose team that competed in the Central Coast Section Open Division playoffs and played a West Valley-Cottonwood team that made the Northern Section Division II title game.
West Valley lost that game in overtime to Sutter, which is playing in the Division III regional game.
"We have to play almost a perfect game," McCauley said. "But we have to play our style of football."
Coach: Roger Canepa, fifth year
2012 record: 12-2 (Sac-Joaquin Division IV champion)
A closer look: The Raiders have won 16 Sac-Joaquin Section titles, but this was their first since 2007. That year, Central Catholic earned a berth in the CIF Division III state bowl game, losing 35-21 to St. Bonaventure-Ventura. The Raiders feature a two-headed rushing attack of Ray Lomas (1,765 yards, 28 touchdowns) and Rey Vega (1,200 yards, 22 touchdowns). Quarterback Garrett Ardis has thrown for 1,500 yards and 18 touchdowns. His big target is Johnny Mundt, a 6-foot-5 receiver who is committed to Oregon. The Raiders are averaging 49.7 points per game. Their two losses came in their first four games. Since then, Central Catholic has won 10 straight by an average score of 53-13.

Mad Bull M100 Spring
$ 15.99
Mad Bull M100 Spring - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- Best spring from the best company!I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THIS EXTREMELY LONG REVIEW! IT DOES MAKE SENSE AT THE END, HOWEVER!
In my opinion at least, Mad Bull is one of the best airsoft accessory companies in the business today! They make so many high quality items that are in use in many airsoft guns today, that they have become mythical in a sense.
Now, I know some of you may be thinking "Sh0ck this is an M100 only 300 - 320 FPS why would I want that".
Look at it from a different standpoint from yours (most likely someone looking to buy a spring to bring their already high performance AEG into a newer level of awesome): Say you have kind parents, who know that you love airsoft, and decided to buy you a new airsoft gun from a local store (not shortys, which is a big mistake in itself). You receive it, and put on a big fake smile because it could quite possibly be the worst airsoft gun you've ever seen in your lifetime. I'm talking plastic internals AND externals, lower than 220 FPS w/ .2g, huge orange tip, company logos everywhere, and a big fat MADE IN CHINA sticker right in plain sight. What do you do? Of course, you don't want to make your parents sad, so, you go to shortys and see what you can find that you will be able to upgrade it with, internally and externally.
Now, if you have a gun that's SO HORRIBLE that it won't be able to stand up to the force of an M130 or M140 spring, getting this M100 spring will most likely be the ideal choice for you. You can upgrade your AEG's FPS rating to something noteworthy, without putting too much stress on the internals. Now, I definitely don't recommend simply flipping out the springs and leaving it that way, and this is in no way a long term solution. In order for you to have the best performance, you need to upgrade your gearbox, motor, inner barrel, tappet plate, etc, as well as your spring. However, take that painfully horrible shooting AK-47 AEG, jerry-rig some weaver rails to it, buy a better performing battery, replace the buttstock pad, get yourself a fancy Red Dot Sight and foregrip, perhaps even some metal externals, and finally, flip your spring for this beauty for some power behind the flare, and you've got yourself a respectable weapon made from a sporting-good-store-failure.
-Your daily dose of sh0ck
PS: This is all speaking from experience. Everything that you have read from the review is based on past happenings. I still own the aforementioned AK-47 AEG and it is still performing well for me. I also apologize again for the extremely long review for this one product.
- Great spring !I believe almost anything made from germany is made well and this also goes for this spring if you want an upgrade this is one of the best I think you will be very pleased with your purchase!
- I agree this is a well made piece. German weapons have been well used for years. I think you will enjoy this
- I concurI think that we can all agree that German made equipment is of the highest quality. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with this spring. The price is great for such an excellent product.
- Sweet spring!I bought this spring to downgrade my Echo 1 E90 within field limits at a CQB arena. The first thing I noticed was that the spring is NOT made in Germany. The package clearly says "made in Taiwan" (yes, it has Mad Bull trademarks). Who knows - maybe the metal comes from Germany and was molded into a spring in Taiwan.
I recommend to anyone buying this spring to get a pro to install it because it took me friggin forever to reassemble the gearbox with all the parts in place. I also neglected to re-install a tiny piece (I honestly have no idea where it goes) so now semi-auto mode draws back the spring with the first trigger pull and fires three BBs with the second. Full auto works fine, though.
Test results from immediately before and after switching springs:
old spring (~M110): 125ft with .25g, 115ft with .2g, 850RPM
this spring: 110ft with either, 925RPM
Everyone tells me that only upgrading the motor and gears can increase the ROF but I swear to God that downgrading the spring did. So if you value the ROF of your gun over the muzzle velocity, buy this spring!
- Reason to DowngradeSh0ck said it well, but there are also other reasons to buy a low fps spring. There's a really nice cqb arena near me, and there is a maximum fps requirement. You can't use your gun there if it has an fps of more than 320, and my cqb gun has 380 fps. I'd rather not pay an extra $20 to rent one of the lower quality guns at the arena, so I downgraded my gun to be able to use it there, and it works a whole lot better. High fps really isn't necessary for cqb, and a weaker spring can also increase fire rate. If you need to downgrade your fps to be able to use a nice gun at an arena with a maximum fps, I highly recommend this product.

For centuries Ireland has produced world renowned beverages which are distributed throughout the world. A nation famous for Guinness, obsessive tea drinkers and some of the best whiskey in the world, Ireland's indigenous beverages offer a varied selection for any drinker. There is no escaping the impact beverages such as Guinness and Baileys have had on the global market. It is rare to travel any to any location in the world and not be greeted by the familiar sight of an Irish drink. We have even included some of our childhood favorites that we all love to crave!
Like silk being poured into a glass, Guinness is one brand which is synonymous with Ireland. In 1759 Arthur Guinness acquired a four acre site and signed a 9,000-year lease for the St. Jame;s Gate Brewery in Dublin. The brewery became well known for brewing "porter" which was a dark ale. Over the past 250 years his dark ale has evolved in to an unique dark stout which is enjoyed across the globe. According to the company over 10 million glasses of Guinness are enjoyed daily around the world.
Irish Whiskey
Ireland is home to several distilleries which produce some of the world's finest whiskeys. Uisce Beatha is the Gaelic term for whiskey which translates to "water of life." The most common types of whiskey distilled in Ireland include single malt, single grain and blended whiskey. Examples of Irish whiskey include Black Bush, Bushmills, Jameson, Paddy, Powers, and Tullamore Dew to name a few.
Earl, chamomile, green, chai, offer any of the latter to your average Irish person and they will most likely decline. If it's not black and doesn't contain either sugar or milk then it's not a cup of Irish tea. Most Irish people begin their day with a cup of tea and continue to drink copious amounts of their favorite hot beverage throughout the day. Irish tea is a strong blend of several black teas, mostly Assam Indian teas. Although there are several Irish companies which produce tea, Barry's and Lyons are the market leaders and are the cause of rivalry between friends and family!
Irish Coffee
An Irish coffee is a coffee with a kick! This popular after dinner drink combines coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar and and freshly whipped cream. Here is our guide on how to make the perfect Irish Coffee
Half a cup of good quality coffee
1 measure of Irish whiskey
2 Spoonfuls of brown sugar
20ml of fresh pouring cream
Put a tea spoon into the glass (best to use a glass with a stem) and pour some boiling water into the glass to warm it up. (the reason you put in the spoon is so that the spoon takes the heat from the water and so the glass will not crack, but be careful!).
Pour the shot of whiskey into the glass.
Pour in the coffee up to within 15mm (1.5cm) from the top.
Put in the two spoons of sugar and stir until all the sugar has dissolved.You will see if the sugar has dissolved by looking at the base of the glass (the sugar ensures that the cream will float).
Place the spoon onto the rim of coffee, face up (ensure that the curved part of the spoon is touching the coffee, touching...not submerged) With the cream in a small jug pour it onto the spoon. The cream will flow over the edge of the spoon and rest on top of the coffee.
What you should be left with is a glass of black coffee (not cloudy and with no trace of cream) with a white collar about 10mm (1cm) deep.
Miwadi takes its name from Mineral Water distributors who invented the dilutable fruit drink in Dublin in 1927. During the war the drink was sold in chemists because it was a fruit cordial and was often given to people when they were sick. The growth in supermarkets in the 1970's made the drink more accessible to consumers. It was bottled in glass up until the 1980's when plastic became more common. Ireland's number one cordial has a range of flavors, including orange, blackcurrant, lemon, lime, and tropical which are all produced in their Dublin factory. A popular hangover cure, customers will often ask for a pint of Miwadi in bars.
Bulmers Cider
Bulmers original Irish Cider is made in Clonmel Co. Tipperary. Cider production in the town began local man William Magner founded the company in 1935. It is more commonly known abroad as Magners Irish Cider. Their tradition of brewing cider has been developed over the past seven decades and continues to be a popular refreshing cider enjoyed around the world. A total of 17 different types of apples are grown in Bulmer's orchards in Clonmel Ireland. The refreshing alcoholic cider beverage is most commonly enjoyed over ice.
TK Red Lemonade
No childhood occasion was every complete without a giant tumbler of red lemonade. TK Red Lemonade remains the brand leader in Ireland, originally Taylor Keith it continues to be Ireland's leading value soft drink brand and is distributed by C&C beverages. Many people like to mix the popular beverage with their favorite Irish whiskey.

Oops, it has multimonitor support. A bit buggy though (wasn't showing before, but is now). Very cool app!
Great idea. WIll definitely buy it. However it really needs a few more features:
- undo/redo support (revertable window size history)
- multi monitor support
It is a bit pricey for what it does (as of 1.1.2) but Mizage seems to be very active with the community. This alone is worth the price tag, but I hope that soon the feature set and ability to customize will grow quite a bit. Please keep being active with your userbase!

My question is about streaming/playing an .mpg file which is currently being written to by another process (Gbpvr).
I am recording a live television signal using a Hauppauge PVR-150. This creates an mpeg-2 file which is directly playable by the PS3 without transcoding. I have shared the directory that the file is in using PS3 media server, and the file shows up on the XMB as expected (and is also playable).
The issue is that once the user has browsed to the file on the XMB, the length of the media reported by the PS3 (in minutes and seconds) seems to be fixed, even though the length of the actual file is growing as it is written to by the PVR-150. Unfortunately what this means is that the PS3 will only play the file up to the amount of time that was originally reported. This is a problem when it comes to watching for instance; time-shifted television, whereby you expect to start watching after the show has started but before it has finished being broadcast.
I have reviewed most of the posts in the forum to date and this issue seems to be related to (but not identical to) one by kuszner title: PSM restart button. I have observed that if I actually shut down and restart the PS3 media server on my computer, then the new (correct) length of the file will be reported by the PS3 after browsing to the file again on the XMB. Naturally this is somewhat undesirable especially if there is an easy fix which I have overlooked.
For the record, I am using PMS Version 1.03 on what is otherwise known as 'the ancient hardware': Athlon 1.0 Ghz, Win2K. Otherwise, the PS3 Media server is working very well on this box, especially considering I am specifically NOT trying to transcode anything on the fly. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated ! Thank-you for the very useful (and lightweight) software !!

MORAGA -- Saint Mary's College didn't assure itself a spot in the NCAA tournament with its 64-57 victory over BYU on Thursday night in front of 3,500 fans at McKeon Pavilion. But the win earned the Gaels an extra night off in next month's West Coast Conference tournament.
Saint Mary's (23-5, 12-2) clinched second place in the WCC and a bye directly into the semifinal round of the league tournament at Las Vegas by staying unbeaten against BYU since the Cougars joined the conference for the 2011-12 season.
"It means a lot ... it means one less game we have to play over there," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said. "There's a good chance we'll play this (BYU) team again. Like to be fresh playing that one."
Playing in front of their fifth sellout crowd of the season, the Gaels erased a four-point halftime deficit with a 13-4 run opening the second half. But the victory wasn't assured until Beau Levesque made two free throws for a five-point lead with 10.1 seconds left.
The Cougars climbed within 59-57 when Brandon Davies converted a driving layup with 2:09 left. Matt Carlino had a chance to tie the game, but missed two free throws with 1:20 left.
Matthew Dellavedova made one of two free throws for the Gaels with 1:19 left, pushing their lead to three points.
Tyler Haws, the nation's No. 8 scorer, then was whistled for an offensive foul for pushing off against Dellavedova. On BYU's next possession, with about 20 seconds left, Haws missed a contested shot.
Saint Mary's improved to 4-0 against the Cougars (20-9, 9-5) over the past two seasons, and has not lost to anyone other than WCC leader Gonzaga since Dec. 23.
The Gaels barely have time to exhale before facing Creighton (22-6) of the Missouri Valley Conference in a Saturday afternoon "bracketbuster" game at McKeon.
The game against the Bluejays, with their No. 46 RPI computer ranking, is the Gaels' last chance to deliver a nonconference victory of consequence as the NCAA selection committee considers its options.
Dellavedova said the team would spend maybe 15 minutes celebrating the BYU win before turning its attention to Creighton. "They're all critical at this time of year -- we know that from past experience," he said. "It's a great opportunity for us."
"It's a good team and a win against any of those will help your resume," Bennett said of Creighton.
Dellavedova led the Gaels with 20 points, and Levesque, fighting foul trouble, added 17. But there were plenty of other contributors, including freshman guard Jordan Giusti, who had four points, two assists and two steals.
"Giusti was great for us, just making tough plays," Dellavedova said. "Everyone contributed on tonight."
That included reserve center Matt Hodgson, who twice blocked shots by Davies in the final 5 minutes.
The Gaels prevailed despite shooting just 36 percent against BYU's zone defense. "I thought it was going to be a bit more up and down, but they sat in that zone and it was a bit more of a grind," Dellavedova said. "I think we've gotten a lot grittier defensively."
Davies topped the Cougars with 25 points on 10 for 16 from the field. But Haws scored just 12 -- nearly 10 under his average -- against shared defensive work by Dellavedova and Stephen Holt.
The Gaels outscored BYU 13-4 over the opening 51/2 minutes of the second half to erase a 32-28 halftime deficit and move into a 41-36 lead.

Liverpool Message Board
Champions League / Germany / Lewandowski
Just wanted to start a different topic to change the pace like I often tend to do, particularly when we get caught up in controversial BS, or the same topics..
Just curious on who has watched the two Semi Finals (presuming most with a tv) and how absolutely ridiculously good the Germans have been.. I can say in full honesty, that I told my friends, I expected both results, I swear, and I am not shocked, but if it makes sense, it was shocking to see Bayern and then Dortmund pick apart the world's "2 best clubs", particularly Fail Madrid as I refer to them and their 600M squad..
Of the two, obviously Madrid has a much better chance of turning it around since they have an away goal, and can win 3-0 at the Bernapoo, but I see Dortmund scoring at least 1, especially knowing what's coming, and I see absolutely no way in hell of Barcelona turning that one upside down.. I could see Bayern Winning 6-2 ish..
I often (obvious to those who know me) talk about my affinity for Napoli as a secondary team, and Cavani as a favorite player, but I was absolutely thrilled, and maybe not a prouder day football wise, LFC aside, with Robert Lewandowski being that I'm Polish, the better half anyways, but I cling to that tiny % of Spanish in me while pretending to be Uruguayan.. But Jesus H! What a stunning performance by my fellow Pole, 4 goals (could have had 6) against the mighty Failures of Europe... it was stunning!
Sadly, as a Dortmund fan because of him and a few other Poles in Piszchek and Blasyzkowski, it bothers me that he's rejected a new contract, and is said to be off to Bayern (which I wouldn't mind so much) BUT strong rumors of United.. That would seal #21, 22, 23 and makes me sick..
Anyways, I really enjoyed both the thrashings, though I usually root for Barca in most instances, and I hope that perhaps Tello not even getting a minute, and all his rumors (again) with an 8.5M release clause gives me reason to dream we can go for him this summer with Barca needing a revamp. I particularly enjoyed Fail getting crushed and I literally hate them as much as United, though I'll have to re-think that when Jose, Crissy and that #$%$ bag Pepe leave, and Cavani joins them..
Cheers! Great 2 days of football as a fan in general, and dreaming of the days of us getting back to that stage, Andy Carroll leading the way with 30-35 goals and a ballon d'or under his belt! YNWASort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Now logic would say.......Bayern wins the title that they should have had last year , lets face it , the Chelskites lucked out totally. But.......but.......but......I kind of have an inkling that Dortmund proves hard to kill and pulls this out 2-1.
And Benfica to raise Abramovich's stress level to artery bursting point by swiping the Europa. Sorry Robert M , but I just can't bring myself to cheer for the gangster's dirty-money bought and paid for mercenarys. I'll support Torres & Rafa for past efforts while Reds....but the rest of your squad can go shrivel and blow away. Nothing personal , Bob , don't care much for blue.

Lets hope Dortmund smash the back door of Germany's Man Utd. As a German scouser myself, my team is Stuttgart, but I have loved Dortmund ever since Lars Ricken came on and scored that peach in the CL final a decade or so ago, as well as their fans being the closest to ours (and in some ways have sadly surpassed us) in terms of humour and banners.
