News 12 First at Five / Friday, Nov. 9, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The management deal is done. City leaders are now touring the new Augusta Convention Center and you have an invite.
Workers are putting the finishing touches on Augusta's new convention center.
"At times," said Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver, "I thought this day would never come."
Commissioners finally hammered out a painful management deal.
"I mean, we are giving away everything but the kitchen sink," exclaimed Commissioner Bill Lockett. "I better check. It may be gone, too."
Copenhaver took a tour of the convention center, including the kitchen, one day after the deal was sealed.
Commissioners were able to negotiate to receive a percentage of revenue from catering.
The new terms say the deal is 15 years long, but now there is an option to terminate after five years.
"Now we can hire, train and learn all the systems," said Convention Center Operator Darryl Leech. "Full speed ahead."
The battle now turns to what to call the place.
"Well the name on the building out there says the Augusta Convention Center," Leech said. "What are you calling it?"
It depends on who you talk to.
"It is a trade, exhibit and events center," said Peggy Seigler with the visitors bureau. "It's a fantastic facility. If the city turns around and wants to call it something else, we will do what we are told."
Seigler has been marketing the new center as the TEE Center.
"We don't know why," Leech said. "Because to us that doesn't make sense. It also doesn't make sense that the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau won't use Augusta Convention Center."
The mayor suggests it doesn't matter what you call it in the end. He says the center is uniquely suited to attract large groups.
"Nobody has got space like this connected to a hotel other than Atlanta," Copenhaver said. "So we are at a competitive advantage."
The first paying group is set for February.

Your body isn't cut open except for a very small incision in the skin over a blood vessel in the leg, arm or wrist through which a small, thin tube (catheter) is threaded and the procedure performed. Angioplasty can take 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the difficulty and number of blockages and whether any complications arise.
Angioplasty is performed by a heart specialist (cardiologist) and a team of specialized cardiovascular nurses and technicians in a special operating room called a cardiac catheterization laboratory. This room is often called the cath lab.
Angioplasty is commonly performed through an artery in your groin (femoral artery). Less commonly, it may be done using an artery in your arm or wrist area. Before the procedure, the area is prepared with antiseptic solution and a sterile sheet is placed over your body. A local anesthetic is injected to numb the area where the catheter will be inserted. Small electrode pads are placed on your chest to monitor your heart during the procedure.
General anesthesia isn't needed. You'll be sedated but awake during the procedure. You'll receive fluids, medications to relax you and blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants) through an IV catheter. Then, the procedure begins:
If you have several blockages, the procedure may be repeated at each blockage. Because the balloon temporarily blocks blood flow to part of your heart, it's common to experience chest pain while it's inflated.
Stent placement
Most people who have angioplasty also have a stent placed in their blocked artery. The stent is usually inserted in the artery once it is widened by the inflated balloon. The stent supports the walls of your artery to help prevent it from re-narrowing after the angioplasty. The stent looks like a tiny coil of wire mesh.
Here's what happens:
After your stent placement, you may need prolonged treatment with medications, such as aspirin or clopidogrel (Plavix) to reduce the chance of blood clots forming on the stent.
You'll probably remain hospitalized one day while your heart is monitored and your medications are adjusted. You should be able to return to work or your normal routine the week after angioplasty.
When you return home, drink plenty of fluids to help flush your body of the contrast dye. Avoid strenuous exercise and lifting heavy objects for several days afterward. Ask your doctor or nurse about other restrictions in activity.
Call your doctor's office or hospital staff immediately if:
Blood thinners
It's important that you closely follow your doctor's recommendations about your treatment with blood-thinning medications — aspirin and clopidogrel or similar medications.
Most people who have undergone angioplasty with or without stent placement will need to take aspirin for life. Those who have had stent placement will need a blood-thinning medication such as clopidogrel for a year or longer in some cases. If you have any questions or if you need noncardiac surgery, talk to your cardiologist before stopping any of these medications.

On Saturday afternoon, Dec. 1, as I climbed into my car and headed to Vail, I hummed Gene Autry's legendary ditty. But I wasn't going back in the saddle again. It was back to the kitchen. After a three-month hiatus from restaurant kitchens, I appropriately kicked off the winter season of experiential research on the night Leonora was born.
Who, you might ask, is Leonora? And where does she live? Leonora is the hip metamorphosis of the Block 16 restaurant at the chic boutique hotel The Sebastian in Vail. Named for the British-born Mexican surrealist painter and novelist Leonora Carrington, who died in early 2011 and whose works adorn the restaurant's walls, the rebranding to a bistro, tapas and wine bar is the brainchild of The Sebastian's new director of food and beverage, chef Paul Wade.
It's hard to get the gifted, award-winning Wade to talk about himself. And there's a lot to discuss, given his amazing culinary arts pedigree that spans 25 years and includes executive chef positions at Little Nell in Aspen, Eldorado Hotel and Nidah Spa in Santa Fe and Park Hyatt in Beaver Creek, to name but a few. A master in the kitchen, it's when Wade's creating food styles and designing concepts that he's most in his element. But Wade's all about "the stars" who give life to his vision, whether directly with guests in the dining room or behind the scenes in the kitchen. Trying to get him to talk about his role in the rebranding was a challenge, to say the least.
Given the snow drought, it was destined to be a quiet first night. So mostly I observed and sampled a large portion of the menu, helping out here and there, but came back on Day 3 to help with the team's first major event. We'll talk more about that next week.
I'm always anxious when I go into uncharted back-of-the-house territory, whether a simple bistro kitchen where a cat could get walloped if swung in a circle or massive, state-of-the-art hotel kitchens such as Four Seasons in Vail. Walking into Leonora's nerve center was no different. My anxiety eased when I met Executive Chef Sergio Howland, who warmly welcomed me as though I were a guest chef, not a mere "sous cook." Like everywhere else in the valley, the kitchen was a melange of nationalities that stretched from Nepal to New Zealand, Argentina, Mexico and the U.S. Accents of all kinds but one language - food.
How do I describe Howland, the culinary maestro? Kind, patient, warm but stern when the heat is on, a perfectionist but not rigid and immensely creative sums him up in my eyes. He runs a tight ship, but his management style engenders respect, not demands it. I'm always amazed how chefs such as Howland can pull together teams whose members only met a few days before opening but who fall in line and work well together, whether joking around during prep or in the heat of battle during service. That's not to say it's all sweetness and kind, but it's a crucial talent needed to run a successful restaurant in Vail Valley. Although Leonora is a new restaurant, every restaurant here faces a new beginning each season when rookie staff members often outnumber veterans. Howland has the perfect temperament for integrating new kitchen staff into the existing team. Even on opening night, the camaraderie was apparent.
After two nights of dress rehearsals in front of the toughest - and most honest - audience (The Sebastian management and staff), it was showtime for Wade, Howland and their teams in the front and back of the house. With 95 percent of the service staff new to The Sebastian, I could sense opening night jitters. But once the first guests were seated, restaurant manager John Dooley's team settled into their new routine.
The showpiece of Leonora's dining room is the "Mediterranean sushi bar," Wade's moniker for the polished agate tapas bar where pesce crudo - Italian for raw fish - and charcuterie are served. Simply put, it's a raw bar with a twist. But there is nothing simple about the flavors and textures of Howland's "sushi" - tiraditos, crudi and ceviche.
Howland enjoys working with raw seafood and coaxing intriguing flavors and textures out of the synergy of the ocean proteins and acids of lemons and limes. While Howland patiently instructed his "crudomeisters" - Jonathan "Junior" Sharon and Robert Havelaar - on how he wanted the three crudi (plural of crudo) to be plated, he gave me a primer on "Leche de Tigre" (tiger's milk). Howland refers to it as the "mother sauce," since it gives rise to the marinade for each of his piscine creations.
For his basic leche de tigre, Howland starts with white fish trimmings that are cured in lime juice for about 24 hours. The cured - denatured - fish is macerated for about four hours with fish fumet, basically a stock made from white, lean fish and mussel and clam broths, lime and lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, celery, cilantro leaves, salt and pepper. The resulting mixture is blended and pureed to a creamy milk consistency that gives rise to its distinctive name. The strained puree is used to marinate Howland's ceviches. Many believe the aptly named tiger's milk is great for providing energy, alleviating hangovers and increasing male amorous performance (although I have yet to hear it marketed in commercials during football games). Whatever its physiological effects, the flavor pleases the palate.
On opening night, Howland served four distinctly different marinated raw seafood creations - Skuna Bay salmon with coconut milk, green curry and green apple leche de tigre; ruby red shrimp and uni, (sea urchin gonads!) with avocado puree and spicy miso made from leche de tigre, red miso and red chili paste; Maine scallops with yuzu kosho broth with leche de tigre (are you seeing a pattern yet?), osetra caviar and red chili aioli; and Hawaiian yellowfin tuna ceviche with Thai tamarind leche de tigre. Whatever your drink of choice you want to pair with your plate of ceviche, sommelier Daan Smeets will have something to please you in his glass-enclosed wine tower.
Not feeling as though I'd experienced life in the trenches with Howland and his team, I asked to return for their first big event. One hundred guests were scheduled to attend a reception in the hotel's ballroom two flights below. Appetizers for 100 were to be followed by diner for 35. Certainly a busy night! Just what I like, since anyone can observe, but the real story is in the doing! And I'll have fun entertaining tips for your holiday parties to share with you next week. In the meantime, I'm sure you'll want to pop into Leonora for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or a drink and tapas at Frost, the hot bar with a chilly name on the hotel's ground floor. Whichever you choose, Leonora is a great place to start and end a tiring day pounding the powder that's certainly coming before we meet again.

When we talk about our elected officials we assume they are exactly what the title implies – public servants who have been put in office by a vote of the people. While that is usually the case, in some states, including here in Missouri, the voice of the people is often silenced by the authority of our governor to fill abandoned executive offices through appointment, rather than special election.
Over the last several years, I have worked to address this issue, to give the power back to the people where it rightfully belongs. It's an issue we will again address in 2013. The problem is two-fold.
First, existing Missouri law is "unclear" as to what happens when the Lieutenant Governor leaves office. I say "unclear" – but this is what is written in Missouri Statute;
Whenever any vacancy . . . occurs or exists in any state or county office . . . other than in the offices of lieutenant governor . . . the vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the governor[1].
It seems clear from reading Missouri law that the position of Lieutenant Governor is specifically exempted from being appointed. While the law has clarity on this issue, awkward precedent has been set in Missouri muddying the waters. In fact, prior practice has been to allow the Governor to appoint a Lieutenant Governor to serve out the remainder of a term when that office has been abandoned.
As Bob Priddy pointed out several years ago[2], allowing Missouri's Governor to appoint a Lieutenant Governor may be illegal, but no one challenged it when Roger Wilson appointed Joe Maxwell to be Lieutenant Governor in the year two thousand (after the death of Mel Carnahan). Also, when Thomas Eagleton resigned as Lieutenant Governor in 1969 William S. Morris was appointed by Governor Hearnes to serve out the remainder of Eagleton's term, and it was never challenged.
Second, the other statewide elected offices are all replaced by appointments (i.e. if the State Treasurer were to resign, the governor would get to pick their replacement). If anything, Governor Rod Blagojevich's attempt to sell President Barack Obama's Senate seat when he abandoned that position illustrates the danger of having state-wide vacancies filled by gubernatorial appointment.
In each of the last four years I have filed a bill to fix this problem, ensuring that if there is a vacancy in any state-wide office; Missourians would get to pick the replacement at the next election. Two years ago it passed, but was vetoed by Governor Nixon. He decided that he should be able to pick our statewide officers, instead of the people of Missouri.
Speaker Tim Jones has asked that the House Republicans do everything in their power to pass my legislation. We want to make sure that Jay Nixon won't get to pick who replaces any of our statewide officers who may resign their positions.
Page 2 of 2 - I have always felt that the uncertainty in Missouri law about how to handle the resignation of a sitting Lieutenant Governor should be fixed, and that special elections were more representative of the will of the people of Missouri than appointments. If you're interested in standing with us on this important issue, feel free to call my office at (573)-751-1688 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Adopt an Asian Elephant!
Giant herbivores, Asian elephants can tear down huge tree limbs or pick up small objects with their muscular trunks.
Reproduction: Older and larger males—especially those in musth (condition of heightened testosterone levels) dominate the breeding, winning the acceptance of females in heat. Gestation takes 20 to 22 months, and usually only one calf is born. Female Asian elephants can usually breed by age 14 and usually give birth to one young every four years.
Elephants can cause great damage to crops, and they occasionally kill people. Males in musth are responsible for the majority of attacks. Elephants play important roles in the cultures and religions of countries in most of their range, which inspires support for habitat protection measures, continued studies about elephants and their conservation needs, and efforts to mitigate conflicts between elephants and people.

STOCKTON - Teenage sexual assault survivor Stephanie Braithwaite and the Saving Stephanie organization held a news conference at the Stockton Police Department on Wednesday to announce the Teal Ribbon Project, which is designed to raise awareness and support for victims of sexual assault.
The Saving Stephanie organization tied teal ribbons to the antennas of the Police Department's patrol cars. Braithwaite noted that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and explained the significance of the teal ribbons:
"The teal ribbons stand as a symbol of hope and healing and support for survivors of sexual abuse," said Braithwaite, a 17-year-old Venture Academy student who was sexually assaulted when she was 13 and later went public in an effort to reach out to other survivors. "It's basically just a symbol to our community that there is something being done, that we are trying to spread awareness and that there is hope for survivors."

Java in Steam Store
By Henrik Stahl on Feb 24, 2013
If you are even remotely into PC gaming, you must be familiar with Steam. And if you are familiar with Steam, you are most likely aware that they recently announced the GA version of Steam for Linux. I for one hope that this might finally signal an advent in Linux as an accepted and broadly used platform for PC gaming. One nice side-effect is that Java might get more adoption in this space, such as for casual games (Angry Birds is a good example) and for any game which doesn't require absolute 100% control over the hardware to be performant (Minecraft falls in this group). The benefit of Java is clear; porting cost between different platforms goes down. It may not be write-once-run-anywhere depending on how you use native libraries but certainly easier than porting a native game.
With this in mind, I was very happy to see this blog about Java on Steam from Puppy Games. They have built a wrapper library around the Steam APIs and use LWJGL as a graphics library. Other options would of course be JOGL or - as it matures - JavaFX, which will very soon be fully open sourced through the OpenJFX project. A great simple example of a JavaFX game is this version of Pong which is written in less than 100 lines of code.
Kudos to Puppy Games for their initiative, and to Steam for going Linux!

WEST UNION - Joseph Spencer, the 16-year-old charged with killing his parents and younger sister, shot them and then called 911, according to court documents.
Spencer called Doddridge County 911 just after 6 p.m. Sept. 3 and advised the dispatcher he just shot his family.
"The caller advised central communications that he had just shot his family members," the juvenile information sheet states.

The case file on Spencer became public after Circuit Court Judge Tim Sweeney granted a motion by the state to try Spencer as an adult.
Doddridge County sheriff's deputy C.W. Modesitt responded to the call to the Spencer home north of West Union. Modesitt reported when he arrived he apprehended Spencer and placed him in the cruiser.
"Upon clearing all structures on scene, I observed a female lying outside at the foot of the porch steps, dead from apparent gunshots. Through the front downstairs door, I observed a female approximately 9 years old lying dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Up the stairs to the residence, and in a back bedroom, I observed a third body. The third body was a male adult."
The victims were identified as Fred and Dixie Spencer and their daughter Patience "PJ" Spencer. Joseph Spencer is charged with three counts of murder.
Modesitt reported Spencer told him he loaded the 9mm handgun belonging to his father and shot all three family members before calling 911.
The details of the scene were reported in the information sheet, which was unsealed on orders from Doddridge County Circuit Court Judge Tim Sweeney. Spencer's attorney Rodney Windom said Sweeney unsealed the records Thursday.
"It was sealed until the judge ordered it opened up," he said.
According to the file, the state's evidence includes the 911 call and the state's interview with Spencer. In addition, Windom requested any recordings contained on the Doddridge County Sheriff's Office cellphone used by Modesitt also be preserved.
Windom said he's filed a motion for discovery to obtain access to that material.
Because the defense has not been given access to all evidence in the case, Windom thinks it's very unlikely the case will be presented to a grand jury this month. The county's next grand jury convenes in February.

Debiopharm licences Roche compound
09.01.2013 - Swiss Debiopharm Group (Lausanne) has licenced Chugai's preclinical anti-cancer agent FF284.
The Tokyo-based Roche affiliate announced the deal on 8 January 2013, three weeks after the companies signed an agreement giving Debiopharm global rights to develop and commercialise the preclinical compound FF284 (now Debiopharm 1347). Chugai remain the rights to the Japanese market.
Under the same agreement, Chugai will grant a non-exclusive license to develop and commercialise a companion diagnostic for FF284 (Debio 1347). According to the terms of the agreement, Debiopharm and the Roche daughter will conduct a Phase I dose escalation study. In return for the license, Chugai will receive an undisclosed upfront fee, milestone and royalty payments from Debiopharm.
Debio 1347 is an orally available small molecule targeting an undisclosed signalling pathway affecting solid tumour development

The East Tennessee Economic Council has awarded longtime Oak Ridge pediatrician and former state legislator Gene Caldwell the "Muddy Boot Award," a tribute to individuals who through their work and community activities make East Tennessee a stronger region.
In presenting the award, ETEC chair emeritus Homer Fisher discussed Caldwell's passion for the community and his ongoing efforts to support the quality of life in East Tennessee. For some time now, Caldwell has been co-chairing the effort to strengthen the mission of the Oak Ridge-based Emory Valley Center throughout our region.
Caldwell was a pediatrician at the Children's Clinic in Oak Ridge for 27 years. Prior to that he was a U.S. Naval Officer for 10.
A graduate of the University of Tennessee at Memphis medical school, he also served in the Tennessee General Assembly for six years representing the state's 33rd House District. While working in the state Legislature, he played a major role in implementing the then-new TennCare program.
Caldwell has been active in economic development organizations as well, including the Chamber of Commerce in Oak Ridge and Anderson County, the Tennessee Technology Development Council, and ETEC. He served on the March of Dimes Professional Advisory Board of East Tennessee, as well, and is a past Chief of Staff of Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge.
The Muddy Boot Award was created in the 1970s to honor individuals who have gone above the call of duty — like those in "The Secret City" who served the nation during the Manhattan Project — to make this community, the state of Tennessee and the nation a better place to live and work. More than 70 people have received the award since that time, and a full list of recipients and more information about the award can be found at www.eteconline.org.
"Each of these honorees makes a strong personal commitment to building a better community," ETEC president Jim Campbell stated in a release. "You see it in how they go about their work, their volunteer commitments in the community, and their personal values."
The East Tennessee Economic Council is a nonprofit membership organization that focuses on bringing people together to create new opportunities for federal research, national security and environmental programs, and to support technology transfer and economic development programs.

Labor Department Awards $155 Million to Support Green Jobs
The U.S. Department of Labor announced on January 6 nearly $100 million in green jobs training grants authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The latest round of funding, part of a larger $500 million Recovery Act initiative, will support job training programs to help dislocated workers and others to find jobs in green industries and related occupations. A total of 25 projects will receive grants ranging from approximately $1.4 to $5 million, and about $28 million of the total will support projects in communities impacted by auto industry restructuring. Training activities funded through this grant program will be individually tailored based on occupations and skills identified as in demand in local areas around the country. Training programs will seek to prepare workers for a range of careers, including hybrid electric auto technicians, weatherization specialists, wind and energy auditors, and solar panel installers. See the Labor Department press release and the full list of grantees (PDF 233 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
In November, the Labor Department announced two other categories of grant awards totaling $55 million under the larger Recovery Act initiative: State Labor Market Information Improvement grants and Green Capacity Building grants. The Green Capacity grants, totaling $5.8 million, will increase the training capacity of 62 current Labor Department grant recipients through a variety of strategies, and will offer training opportunities to help individuals acquire jobs in expanding green industries. These grants will help serve underserved communities. And the State Labor Market Information Improvement grants, totaling $48.8 million, will support the collection and dissemination of labor market information, and will enhance the labor exchange infrastructure to provide career opportunities within clean energy industries. Grantees will be able to employ strategies that enable job seekers to connect with green job banks and help ensure that workers find employment after completing training.

Edison Middle students learn about drug dangers
Event was part of student's social studies project
February 9, 2013
PARKERSBURG — When Wood County Drug Court coordinator Kat Boggs asked Edison Middle School students how many of them knew someone on drugs, more than half raised their hand....
I WILL AGREE THAT METH, H WORD AND HARD SUBSTANCES LIKE SYNTHETICS ARE A DANGER AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COST. TWO OF THE BIGGEST DANGERS HAS BEEN LIES TOLD BY THE DARE AND JUST SAY NO PROGRAMS ABOUT CANNABIS AND ONCE KIDS SEEN THOSE WEREN COMPLETE FAIRY TAILS THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS TRUE SO MANY MAY HAVE EXPERIMENTED. ALSO THE 2ND BIGGEST THREAT IS LOOSING YOUR LIFE AND RIGHTS TO A SYSTEM WHEN YOU MAY NEVER HAVE HARMED NO ONE BUT YOURSELF. THESE BESIDES OVERDOSE RESULTING INTO DEATH ARE THE REAL THREATS. THE DARE PROGRAM HAS CHOSEN NOT TO PERPETRATE THE CANNABIS LIES ANYMORE.SO WE HAVE A START. NOW WE NEED THIS TO BE WHAT IT IS A HEALTH ISSUE. BECAUSE THE DRUG THE ILLUSTRATED HERE(METH) IS SUCH A HEALTH CRISIS. iT IS NICE THIS PROGRAM EXISTS FOR HARD DRUG USE BUT IT EXISTS BECAUSE THE EDUCATION WAS FLAWED FROM THE BEGINNING. DECRIMINALIZE CANNABIS AND THEN USE THIS PROGRAM FOR THE DRUGS THAT CAUSE DEATH AS A DIRECT RESULT FROM USING THEM NOT A PLANT THAT CAN HEAL.

While I admit I am a little wishy~washy on the pot issue, I still think it is a gateway drug. Like when you start drinking beer, and you decide to try liquor because it can get you drunk faster, and there is a variety of flavors.
One needs a certain mind~set to stay off drugs. One needs to feel good about themselves, and have the desire to be in total control of their lives. People on dope don't have this. They DON'T feel good about themselves, and they DON'T have control of their lives.
I have been around druggies (30+ years ago) and the one thing I remember is that they THOUGHT they were having fun~~giggling, laughing uncontrollably, heightened senses, etc. I hated it, and that is what saved me. I never took any hard drugs like H or C, just smoked some pot, and it got to be a big bore. I want to be IN control, not BE controlled.

As for myself having used pot, beer and hard liquior. I would personally prefer that my kids, grandkids would choose pot any day over beer and alchol. This is not to say that I am endorsing pot use by anyone. I am merely stating that: ""pot is the LESSER EVIL of all those choices ""....

Duo's to-do list almost done
SAN DIEGO They've gone from not even knowing each other two years ago to becoming the Dynamic Duo.
In the second half of the basketball season, 6-foot-3 senior guard Brynton Lemar and 6-4 junior guard Trey Kell of St. Augustine High have become perhaps the best tandem in the San Diego Section.
"If there is another one that's better, I haven't seen them," said Saints coach Mike Haupt, who was the section's Co-Player of the Year in 1984 at Mira Mesa.
Lemar and Kell have one last game to play this season as Saintsmen.
Today, the Duo leads Southern California Regional champion St. Augustine into the Division III state championship game against Northern California winner San Francisco Sacred Heart Cathedral at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento.
Teammates like forward Brent Jones, point guard Nate Samaniego and center Drew Madsen — whose two free throws in the final seconds were key for the Saints (28-4) in Saturday's regional-clinching 61-57 win over West Hills Chaminade — have had a hand in the team's march to the final, but Lemar and Kell have been the driving force.
In the section final against rival Cathedral Catholic, the Duo was amazing. After three losses this season to the rival Dons, the Saints unleashed their Duo for 45 points and 23 rebounds in a 62-36 thumping at Viejas Arena.
Lemar led the way with 23 points and 12 rebounds while Kell had 22 points and 11 rebounds.
Ten days later in the Southern California Regional semifinals, it was Kell who triggered a fourth-quarter outburst that led to a 55-45 victory. Kell scored 14 points in that period as the Saints outscored the Dons 25-13 in the quarter.
Last Saturday in the regional final, it was Lemar's turn. His 12 points in the fourth quarter triggered a 21-6 surge that wiped out an 11-point deficit to earn St. Augustine's trip to face the Fightin' Irish (21-11), whose tallest player is 6-2.
"I've seen those two do things like that so often, it's sort of become the norm," Haupt said. "The last two games against Cathedral and the regional final, you watch those guys and appreciate what they can do under those circumstances.
"You either have that ability to shine in those moments or you don't. They have something inside them that allows them to do this."
Kell recalls the first time he met Lemar. He was on the freshman team while Lemar was on the varsity. Being a bit shy, Kell was hesitant to say anything to Lemar.
But on the court, Kell and Lemar were magical right from the outset.
"We meshed like we'd been playing together for years," said Lemar, who signed to play next year at UC Davis. "We play travel ball together, so we know each other pretty well.
"Trey is a shooter. I'm more of a point guard who likes going to the basket. I'm more of a bully with the ball."
No matter the formula, it's working for the Purple Gang. Led by the Dynamic Duo, the Saints have won 13 consecutive games heading into their second trip to the state final.
St. Augustine was runner-up in 2005 to Santa Cruz.
"Brynton and I know we have to play well for us to win," Kell said. "It's whoever has the hot hand and we've played together for so long we can tell who is going off.
"We both want to be successful. We don't care who gets more of the shine as long as we win.
"If one of us scores 30 and we lose, that's not fine. We'd rather do whatever it takes to win."
That would make Saintsmen everywhere happy, too.

Canada, 2013, 90 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Drama, RomanceLanguage: English
Imagine seven people wearing animal costumes and romping through Toronto one rainy night. While it might sound ridiculous, Ingrid Veninger does just that with The Animal Project. Hers is a quirky, human tale about personal struggle and identity; the individuals we meet are trying to make it through their own unhappiness and complacency. Leo (Aaron Poole) is the leader of the acting troupe. Middle-aged, single, and miserable, Leo fights with his teenage son, Sam, and quarrels with his former lover, Saul (Joey Klein). After revisiting "The Bunny Project," a short film of Sam as a boy, Leo decides on a new project for the group. He has a vision of the actors wearing animal costumes and imagines the freedom that would produce. Hesitant at first, the actors set their personal issues aside and boldly accept the challenge. Over the course of one night, each actor is set on a personal journey of self-discovery. Veninger shows how easy it is to get caught up in the rigmarole of life and how individuals need to feel free.
The film was shot in 44 locations throughout Toronto and inside the actors' homes. While the film was scripted, Veninger was open to interpretation and improvisation; the script was free, as well as the actors. Veninger wrote the first draft within four days; she cast the actors before knowing the roles they would play or what the script was going to be. The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews.

A primary strategy of eHealth advocates is to offer incentives and penalties to spur physician adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems. Such measures were included in a 2008 Medicare bill as well as in the 2009 stimulus legislation, formally known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The Health IT (HITECH) portion of ARRA authorized $20 billion to promote the adoption of EHR systems by healthcare providers, to support interconnectivity on a regional basis, and to expand the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), now headed by Harvard Medical School professor and health policy guru David Blumenthal.
HITECH strengthens privacy and disclosure requirements for eHealth systems as a way to enhance public trust in EHR programs. In the process, the measure threatens to restrict the services that pharmaceutical companies and other third parties can offer healthcare plans and providers such as medication-management and disease-management programs.
In addition to doling out incentives for EHR adoption, HHS is providing some $2 billion to: help providers adopt HIT that fits standards; assist states and communities in establishing health information exchanges; develop interoperability standards; and examine a range of technical and policy issues that impede HIT adoption. All these efforts aim to support a Nationwide Health Information Network that will provide more information on healthcare costs, quality, and outcomes needed for a more effective healthcare marketplace. EHR systems are important, but will accomplish little, says Blumenthal, unless health data "can flow freely, privately, and securely to the places where they are needed."
FDA struggles
Although the US Food and Drug Administration does not benefit directly from HITECH funding, increased connectivity among healthcare entities promises to support more efficient drug testing and development, along with more timely medical product monitoring and oversight. To take advantage of these developments, FDA first has to update its internal IT operations to improve its capacity for reviewing applications for new drugs and medical products; for receiving and archiving clinical-trial data and regulatory submissions; for tracking manufacturing facilities and product supply chains; and for expanding oversight of the safety of drugs and medical products on the market.
A report from FDA's Science Board in 2007 described the sorry state of the agency's IT infrastructure. The report noted that much clinical-trial data was available only in paper form, and that FDA's decentralized IT operations have created different systems in agency centers without common standards for data exchange. Much of FDA's IT infrastructure was more than five years old and thus unable to support advanced analysis such as that using genomics information related to medical products. FDA has an IT plan for drugs and biologics, as authorized by the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) IV of September 2007, but the plan falls short of addressing broader agency information problems.
The Science Board report renewed efforts to overhaul FDA's information systems. The agency announced in September 2008 a 10-year, $2.5-billion bioinformatics project to modernize agency IT infrastructure for data management, data warehousing, IT infrastructure, and IT security. One aim is to coordinate the many IT modernization activities launched over the years, which range from establishing an electronic document room and an Advanced Submission and Tracking Review system, to creating a risk-based import screening system (PREDICT), and a centralized electronic system to manage advisory committees.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's tennis team posted a resounding 6-1 win over McNeese State on Saturday to improve to 13-4 overall and 6-3 in Southland Conference play. With the win, the Islanders have clinched their second straight winning season in league action.
"This was a great team victory for us today," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "We had one of the windiest days we've had this season, but we didn't let it distract us and we went after McNeese State. The wind is a variable that favors the mentally tougher and fitter player, and that is something we demand from our team. So in my opinion, it's always a positive because it's another element we can try to control better than our opponent. It basically turns the match into a chess match. From top to bottom, this was a strong performance – a match in which we were the favorite and took care of business from the start.
"To clinch another winning conference season is also special for us," he added. "This has been a landmark season for our women's tennis program and we clinched another benchmark today. We have two matches left, and we will continue to press toward the top of the league."
The Islanders got off to a quick start by sweeping the three doubles matches to take a 1-0 lead. Mirna Cicak/Doris Kuselj defeated Tea Tvrtkovic/Anastasia Surkova 8-2 for a victory at No. 1, and Chelsea Horan/Sandra Burges bested Lara Pujol/Marcella Castaldi 8-5 to clinch the doubles point for the home squad. Stefania Nicolae/Ashley Garza completed the sweep by defeating Andreea Nenu/Diana Pirciu 9-7 in the final doubles match.
In singles, it was Burges starting things for the Islanders with a straight-set victory over Surkova, 6-2, 6-1 at No. 3. Horan followed with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Castaldi at No. 5 and Nicolae defeated Pirciu 6-3, 6-1 at No. 4 to clinch the match for the Islanders. Mia Matuszak won her first set 6-4 over Nenu at No. 6 and was tied 2-2 in the second set, when Moore made the decision that the junior should retire and not put unnecessary strain on her ankle, which is still recovering from an injury suffered two weeks ago.
"Mia fought like a warrior today on that ankle," Moore said. "It was a tough decision to pull her back, but it was the right decision."
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi finished off the match with wins at the top two spots. Kuselj took a 6-3, 6-4 win over Pujol at the No. 2 spot to improve to 7-8 on the season, then Cicak finished off the match with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Tvrtkovic at the No. 1 spot for her 12th victory of the year.
The Islanders return to action on Sunday, April 15, as they will play host to Lamar in the final home match of the 2012 season. The match is slated for an 11 a.m. start at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center, and the team will honor Cicak, who is playing in the final home event of her career, during the event.
"Mirna will go down as one of the key players in our program's history," Moore said. "She came in and was our number one player in singles and doubles from the day she arrived. She battled injuries throughout her career. She did it all with a toughness and an attitude that I love. And under her leadership, our program has reached impressive new heights. It will be a special day and an emotional day for our team and also for me, personally."

SANTA ROSA -- R.J. Flores threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns and Montgomery held visiting American to just 147 yards of offense in a 27-0 win in the first round of the North Coast Section Division II playoffs.
Flores got fourth-seeded Montgomery (9-2) on the scoreboard early in a big way, hitting Etienne Ezeff on a 53-yard touchdown pass on the Vikings first possession.
"Etienne was able to get over the DB all night," Flores said of the pass. "There was no safety over him. So I was just able to get the ball to him and he made the rest happen."
No. 13 American (7-4) struggled to move the ball all night, but was able to stay in the game through halftime thanks to some solid plays on defense. Coach Bret Casey said it was the first seven-win season for the school since 1991 and that the team was proud of its accomplishments this year.
"This group did a special job," Casey said. "Best record in 22 years. The senior group went 0-6 as freshmen. Worked their tails off the last couple of years to get to this point."
Anthony Wellington caught eight passes for 79 yards to lead the Eagles.

It's time for the annual Nonprofit Tagline Awards. The awards competition was launched in 2008 after the completion of the Getting Attention Nonprofit Tagline Survey. The survey investigated styles, usage trends, what's working and what's not in nonprofit taglines based on data provided by 1,900 nonprofit communicators working in organizations across 11 vertical sectors and countless locations (mostly in the United States). What the survey found is that 72% of nonprofit organizations don't have a tagline, or rate theirs a performing poorly.
A strong tagline conveys your organization's message to stakeholders and keeps the organization on message as well. This year, for the first time, organizations can enter a tagline for their program (product or service), fundraising campaign and/or special event, in addition to their organizational tagline. As of the date of publishing, there are already 600 tagline entries.
I interviewed Nancy Schwartz, creator of the Nonprofit Tagline Awards, about the competition, taglines, and how taglines make a difference.
1. Why did you create the awards competition?
I believe strongly that your tagline is the most important eight words (or less) messaging you have, I launched the awards program to close that gap, and to bring attention to the need. We are also trying to grow use of "Great Words Promoting Good Causes" (our new tagline!)
2. How has the competition itself changed over the years and why?In response to requests from participants, several aspects of the competition have changed over time. This year we have 13 unique vertical sectors within the organizational tagline category and have introduced three new categories – soliciting tagline entries for program (program, product or service), fundraising campaign and special event taglines. These new categories stem from suggestions from past voters and participants. In addition, we've added a 16-member judges panel to this year's competition. I thought it was high time that we had folks other than me and my team evaluating what works best.
3. What are the main benefits of creating a great tagline for an organization, product, service, or event?
A strong organizational tagline does double-duty — working to extend your organization's name and mission, while delivering a focused, memorable and repeatable message to your base.This "haiku of branding" is one of your most effective marketing tools and ideal for sharing via social media. Once you have an effective organizational tagline in place, crafting taglines at the program or campaign level provides those initiatives with the same kind of marketing muscle.
4. What is the "secret sauce" to creating a great tagline?
Like the best sauces, the nonprofit tagline sauce is rich in complex flavors. There is no single secret ingredient and the total is more than the sum of its individual parts.The recipe for a great tagline includes clarity, brevity, relevance, authenticity, specificity and comprehensiveness of use, as well as creating a connection between the reader and the organization. Mix well and serve.
5. What is the selection process for the awards?
The criteria for winning taglines include clarity, brevity, relevance, authenticity, specificity and comprehensiveness of use, as well as creating a connection between the reader and the organization. Tagline awards FAQ and complete criteria for winning taglines are outlined here.
Each submitted tagline is reviewed in comparison to others in its category by the Getting Attention team. Up to forty semi-finalist taglines are selected via this process and forwarded to the judge handling that category. A diverse panel of expert judges will select the finalists. Each judge will select three to five top taglines as the finalists in her category. At that point, all members of the nonprofit community, from staff and volunteers to service providers, board members and donors will be invited to vote on the best tagline within each categor
6. Do you have a story about how a tagline helped a nonprofit achieve its goals?
Tom Johnson of The New Depot Players Theatre Troupe says this about how the process of developing their tagline helped the Troupe: "After reading the 2009 Nonprofit Tagline Report and hiring a professional facilitator to help our theatre troupe set concrete goals for us to reach in 2010, I knew that the brand and specifically the tagline, could have significant impact on our reach within the community and the arts industry in our metro area. I'm excited to see what the judges say about our tagline, but we have already reaped the rewards with an increase in membership, awareness and consistency in our organization's marketing and communications. Nancy's checklist for developing an expert tagline was an invaluable resource when I sat down to craft something memorable."
7. Do you have a story about how a nonprofit that won the Taggies parlayed that achievement into success meeting its marketing goals?
Here's as far as we know:"We were very pleased to have our tagline recognized by our colleagues in the industry. Our award has given the U.S. Fund extra visibility for its marketing and brand work!"
—Kim Pucci, Marketing Director, U.S. Fund for UNICEF
"We were thrilled to be selected as the tagline award winner in the Human Services category.

If you list it, will they come?
Crowdfunding refers to using the collective funds of a group of people to raise money for a venture, organizaiton, or cause. In the last several years, a number of crowdfunding platforms have arisen that enable individuals to collectively pool money for a cause. Using these fuundraising platforms, a nonprofit organization can list its causes, programs, organization...and wait for donors to fund them. Some of these platforms include Root Funding, Betterplace, Firstgiving, and niche audience platforms such as Donorschoose (US classrooms), Jgooders (Jewish causes), Israel Gives (Israeli causes) or Kickstarter (arts, ventures). There are also a number of personal fundraising platforms that rely primarily on your urging individuals to raise funds for a specific campaign, but also have a crowdfunding approach with goals and group fundriasing: givezooks, Causes, JustGiving, and Give2gether. A rising popular favorite for personal fundriasing is Crowdrise because of the "best promos ever" and celebrity energy (read: Edward Norton) behind it.
I received this email last week from a client:
"Hey - check this out - what do you think?" She included a link to Root Funding. She wants to list the organization on Root Funding as a recipient.
I think it's a great service, but it is not the Field of Dreams. If you list your project on any of these platforms, the donations (most likely) will not come.
The problem with expecting that listing your organization will bring funds is that you are basically sending out a message through the "fundraising classifieds." It is an open fundraising call for people who have very little desire to part with their hard-earned cash on behalf of your organization. They aren't connected in any real way to your group prior to the ask. Listing your project on Causes, where it is one of hundreds of thousands of Causes, will not attract the qualified attention or donations that you want. Crowdfunding has to be an intentional part of your fundraising strategy, lead by Tribe leaders, and aimed at people who care about your project and organization.
Seth Godin famously talks about Tribes. Godin defines a Tribe as a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea that inspires their passion. When you are raising funds for through crowdfunding, think about some Tribe basics:
Crowdfunding includes a social pressure - everyone viewing the project and see the total money raised against the financial goal. The peer pressure aspect is easily communicated through social networks via Tribe leaders: people will have a tendency to donate because a leader is asking them to, or there are only a few hundred dollars away from the stated goal, or their best friend has asked them to donate. Crowdfunding leverages the idea that if we are all in this together, we can create a terrific benefit. It also leverages the idea of peer pressure: I know who's asked me and I'm less likely to say no to someone I respect.
If you have a broad social media base that includes tribes of followers with leaders....your crowdfunding efforts are going to be much stronger than if you're doing it without Tribe leaders. Don't underestimate the power of social network influence.
Take the time to prepare for crowdfunding. You want to develop leaders, include them in the choices, thoughtfully insert crowdfunding into your enitre fundraising strategy, and then choose the best crowdfunding platform and crowdfunding strategy. Then, if you build the Tribe, and the funding project, you're on your way to smart crowdfunding.
If you've got a Tribe, and committed Tribe leaders, you can crowdfund. I'd love to hear more about it from you.
I just attended the 2010 Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC). While there, I attended a the We Are Media session on video - or rather - what to think about before you make that video. In the session, Stacy Laiderman from See3 Communications walked us through the basics of creating a nonprofit video. However, what became apparent was that great video is great because of advance planning and preparation. Before you make your video, here are the key questions to keep in mind:
One really helpful exercise was to think about shooting a video at the NTC. As a group, we tried to answer the questions above in this way:
Goal: Use the video it to promote the conference, share content, membership signup, speakers for next year.Audience: nonprofit technology community, nonprofits, consultants, vendorsTime frame: final video ready at least 3 months before the conference the following year. How will NTEN measure success? Increased membership by a certain percentage, increased attendence by a percentage, number speaker applications, etc. (by what the viewers do with the message)Distribution: website, video sharing platforms, newsletter, etc.
When you've thought through these questions, and you've put your video team together, you're almost ready to shoot. Just a few more things to do and you'll be ready:
1. Create a production schedule: where/who/when, look at budget to make sure you can cover all the production costs2. Determine format (best to use one format, the video camera)3. Become familiar with your gear by practicing4. Scout location and plan. Remember to pay attention to light, sound, extra noise, and how the camera will see each shot.5. Prepare interview questions and/or a script. This is really important so that you remember key points and questions. Practice them. For a script, you'll need a vision ahead of time or you couldl end up with footage without knowing how to use it!6. Review any pre-existing media (maybe could use old footage
Importantly, think about the B-roll. The B-roll is background or context footage. (The A-roll is content.) Think about what the supplemental coverage would establish context, and add to the content. An example might be a shot of someone wearing the NTEN cap at the NTC conference. Be sure to get a steady shot, holding it for at least 10 seconds. If you are filming others on the b-roll, then be sure to get releases from them.
During this NTC workshop, we actually went out and shot some video with a flip camera. It was much harder in practice than in theory!
What I learned from the practice:
I've always had a fantasy that I'd create a movie visual story with film for a nonprofit organization. Whether or not I do this, I learned that it's not as much about the story as it is about the preparation. Many thanks to Stacy Laiderman, Producer, at See3 Communications for a great session!

Maggie Revis, native to Putnam Valley, New York, took to the stage in Belgium this past winter for her debut as the female lead dancer in Michael Flatley's "The Lord of the Dance."
Born into a family of competitve dancers, Maggie began her dance career at the age of three and secured her first win at the Mid-Atlantic American Oireachtas (Regional) Dance Competition in Philadelphia by the age of six. She continued to compete until 2004 when she traveled to England fresh out of college to begin rehearsals as a dancer in Flatley's "Celtic Tiger."
Now five years into her professional career, Maggie shines as the star in "Lord of the Dance," which since its premiere performance in 1996 has enjoyed the highest success rate of any professional Irish dance touring company.
The thrillingly dramatic show filled with Irish dance and music, based on a folklore story of good and evil, was created by Michael Flatley to follow up the "Riverdance" phenomenon. The initial inspiration for the show was an a cappella dance Flatley envisioned during his time with "Riverdance" which would later become the new show's finale, "Planet Ireland."
The Revis family Irish step-dancing legacy
Irish America magazine sat down with Maggie in her hometown in Putnam County, after just wrapping up her European tour.
In a house complete with an array of Celtic music and a practice stage in the basement, courtesy of Maggie's father, Fred, of German descent, the Revis' Irish step-dancing roots are undeniable. Maggie's mother, Cathy, started her own dance school at a young age, which would be Maggie's second home and her introduction into the world of step-dancing.
"My mother growing up was an incredible Irish dancer, and when she became a dancing teacher and judge it was only natural for her kids to follow in her footsteps. … People who have watched me dance say I have her same style and stage presence," Maggie said.
Growing up in her mother's dance school, Maggie, her sister Katie, and brother Freddy (though he may deny it now) embraced step-dancing immediately. "My sister and I were always very active and loved Irish music, so we would just come to class and dance about with the other kids."
When Cathy sold her school to focus on a nursing career, Maggie's training fell into the hands of Kevin Broesler, who took over the school. "That was when I started to compete. It became my after-school sport. Some people played soccer, I danced every day."
Kevin Broesler described Maggie as "an inspiration" in his Irish dance classes. "She was a great competitor and an enjoyable student. All the dancers in my class looked up to her." Maggie danced for Kevin's school throughout her competitive career.
Maggie's Irish roots
Tracing her Irish roots back to County Galway, the second-generation Irish American made her first trip to Ireland at the age of twelve when she competed for the first of many times in the All-Ireland and World Championships.
"In those early days of trips to Ireland, it was not just about going to compete. It was about meeting our relatives, eating tons of the amazing ice cream, and exploring the castles and ruins that we would pass along the road."
Since those early years, Maggie has continued to visit Ireland to see family and friends, and while she has become very familiar with the sites and the people, she will not get behind the wheel on Irish roads. "I will never feel comfortable driving on the narrow roads or on the roundabouts ever again. I still won't rent a car!"
Maggie's grandmother, Nellie Spencer, now 92 years old, was born in Galway and immigrated to the U.S., bringing with her a passion for Irish culture, which she made sure to instill in her daughter and grandchildren.
"They didn't have competitive Irish dancing when [my grandmother] was young," Maggie said. "It was just mandatory that they learned basic steps and ceilis. Even now I don't think my grandmother at 92 could dance a full, choreographed step, but she knows the basic posture and rhythms, and her gracefulness in dancing is something I would like to say she passed down through her daughter. She saw me perform with Michael Flatley at Madison Square Garden and she tearfully bragged about how she 'started it all,' and she is so right," Maggie said.
Competition days
While her older sister Katie eventually left Irish dance for a career in competitive gymnastics and her brothers Freddy and Danny focused their energy on soccer, Maggie continued to pursue dance competitively for close to two decades.
In 2003, she reclaimed the title she held at six-years-old at the Oireachtas Regional Dance Competition in the senior ladies category. It was the following year when Maggie would achieve her career goal and win the North American Championship.

Blue Skies for Southwest Airlines
A study of the current and future state of growth and acquisition strategy, by Thunderbird students Manash Banerjee, Owen Chen, Chris Hardesty, William Keller and Dustin Ward
"If the Wright Brothers were alive today, Wilbur would have to fight Orville to reduce costs." — Herb Kelleher, founder of Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines (SWA) transports more passengers (101M) than any other US carrier while maintaining an 80%+ on-time performance rate. Further, SWA recorded its 39th consecutive year of profitability1 – a remarkable accomplishment for a company that previously did not fly outside of Texas and especially considering the general turmoil and collapse of the airline industry as a whole. SWA is known for its committed approach to short-haul, point-to-point service with "no frills". Nevertheless, the question for the future is – how can SWA continue its low-cost advantages and current operational strategy to achieve successful growth targets? In other words, where is the next blue sky for SWA?

HUNTSVILLE, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team used big hits from several people, and a strong six inning by Trevor Foss to knock off the No. 27 Sam Houston State Bearkats, the first place team in the Southland Conference, in the opening game of the Southland series on Friday night. The teams will continue the series on Saturday and are scheduled for a 4 p.m. first pitch in game two.
The Islanders improved to 18-24 on the year, and are now 10-14 in Southland Conference play. The Bearkats are 29-12 on the season, 17-5 in league games.
Foss pitched into the seventh inning and finished with 6.0 innings pitched, giving up just two runs on five hits while striking out a career-high nine batters against five walks to pick up his first win of the year and go to 1-6.
The Bearkats struck first, picking up two runs in the bottom of the first. After initial trouble in the form of two singles and a stolen base following the first two at bats, it looked like Foss would get out of the jam following a pair of strikeouts. However, a single by Kevin Miller that was up the middle and just got by Jeramie Marek plated the two runners for a 2-0 lead.
Offense was scarce in the following innings, as neither team could muster a run until the top of the fifth, with the Islanders picking up three on two hits and three walks.
Brad Porras started the scoring with a leadoff home run over the scoreboard in left field to make it a 2-1 game. Marek followed with a walk, and moved to second on a Santiago Ruiz sacrifice bunt.
Weston Montgomery came through with an RBI single to left that scored Marek from second to tie it at 2-2. Omar Garcia followed with a walk, and Montgomery and Garcia executed a double steal to move both runners into scoring position. Drew Vest earned a walk that loaded the bases, and Eric Weiss followed with a sacrifice fly to center that scored Montgomery to make it a 3-2 lead for the Islanders.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi would add single runs in the sixth and seventh innings to extend it to a 5-2 lead.
In the sixth, Jordan Lee doubled to lead off the inning, and came home to score on another ball that Porras crushed, this time off the wall to the deepest part of the park in center field to make it 4-2.
In the seventh, Stafford Brantley led the frame off with a walk, and Vest grounded out to the pitcher to move Brantley to second base. After an Eric Weiss single put runners on the corners, Jonathan Gonzales hit it to right field for an RBI sacrifice fly to make it 5-2.
When Foss ran into trouble to start the seventh, Tyler Schnuriger came on and was masterful in his appearance, pitching 2.1 innings and giving up no hits and just one walk while striking out two batters. Phillip Garcia came on for the final two outs to record his sixth save of the season, and his second in as many nights. Garcia struck out the first batter he faced, and got the final one to bounce into a game-ending groundout to Marek at second base.
The win in the opening game gives the Islanders momentum heading into Saturday with Adam Hoelscher on the mound. He will face off against Justin Jackson for SHSU.

Hi all,
I'm approximately 6" to 6"1, and in the 7th grade. Needless to say, I've played centre most of my life. Should I continue working on my big man skills, or will I top out as a shooting guard? Should I try and small forward skills? I asked my doctor, and she said I could end up being from 6"5 to 6"8. My mom is 5"6.5, and my dad is 6"2. Most of my family is quite tall.
Thanks for the help in advance.
70%-80% of your height is controlled by genes. the docter projected this from genes, the other 20%-30% you can gain. i suggest you sit up in class your spine needs to be straight. drink milk. if you do this you will probably be 6'9 or even 6'10!
"I work on my game daily,Because I'm never satisfied,and i'm never going to be" - Tracy McGrady
your gonna be tall but if your gonna be 6'8.you need to practice being a sg or small forward because if you go to the nba they will probaly put you at small forward.i am 5'8in the 7 grade. i play small forward. i also have great ball handeling just in case i have to play point guard sometimes.i do on my team. my mom is 5'6 and my dad is 6'3. my uncle is 6'9.my docter i could grow up to 6'7.
Great players are great leaders.Miamiheatboy
Be healthy and enjoy being tallish.
Work like hec on your skills to play shooting guard or small forward. You can never be a good enough ball handler and shooter and having guard skills saves you no matter what happens with your height. If you stop short at like 6'2 or 6'3 than you can play PG with the skills you have. If you grow to 6'7 or 6'9 you can be like a lebron or durant with the skills. And hec if you make it to 6'10 and up, with those skills, you will be dominant like a Dirk or Larry Bird
