Lamy, N.M. � For fans of the Lone Ranger, it�s all about the mask.
Armie Hammer remembers the moment he first wore the leather disguise to star as the mysterious lawman in �The Lone Ranger� (due July 3).
�We were standing in a back room putting on all of these costumes. And (costume designer) Penny Rose goes, �Here, darling, put this on,�� Hammer said. �I put it on, looked in the mirror and thought, �Holy (cow), this is the Lone Ranger mask.��
�It�s a privilege and an honor to wear this,� he said.
Today, Disney studios will release a new trailer of �The Lone Ranger,� which reunites �The Pirates of the Caribbean� trio of Johnny Depp (Tonto), director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. This trailer follows law-abiding John Reid�s decision to live as a masked man.
How Hammer and his fellow filmmakers came to the right look was a subject of considerable pre-filming discussion.
�There was definitely a lot of mask talk,� said Hammer, speaking before shooting on the New Mexico set. �We had to get the right look.�
Rose says there was no chance they were simply going to mimic the mask from the original 1950s television series.
�The original was (made of ) felt. It was something you could buy at a joke shop,� Rose said. �If you�re going to reinvent a whole story, you�ve got to come up with something unusual and exciting. And above all, it has to be cool.�
At first, they toyed with different materials such as suede, which was quickly tossed out. �Armie has the white hat, that hair and those fabulous eyes,� says Rose. �It seemed kind of weak to do it in anything other than leather.�
Make-up/effects artist Joel Harlow says there were up to seven fittings, working through 10 designs over weeks to get the perfect cut, some were too small, too Zorro or too superhero.
�The difference between bringing the cut up a fraction of an inch on the cheekbone changes the look entirely,� says Harlow. �It�s very difficult.�
�There were several versions before nailing it,� says Hammer. �But as soon as I put the one on, it was like, that�s it. We all kind of knew it.�
The mask was fitted to Hammer�s face to keep a smooth look for the arduous desert shoot. And it allowed the filmmakers to move onto other tasks, such as finding the right white horse to play Silver.
�Actually, we have five or six white horses playing Silver and each one of them has their own specific personality,� says Hammer. �For the most part, it doesn�t feel all bad riding a white horse on the crest of a mountain.�

Pyrethrin based products are organic pesticides that have an active ingredient created from the Chrysanthemum plant. An environmentally safe pest control product, Pyrethrins are created by harvesting the plant prior to its blooming. It is then either dried out, or processed to successfully achieve extracting the oils from within the flowers. Chrysanthemums are grown around the country commercially to provide the necessary supply for Pyrethrin pest control products.
This natural ingredient is a contact poison for many pests, and penetrates to nervous system, effectively immobilizing the insect within just minutes following the application. Cockroaches, ants, wasps and silverfish can all be eradicated with Pyrethrins, as well mosquitos and many other common pests. The effects of the fast knockdown can be visibly seen, but in some insects enzymes can quickly process and may provide for the pest to recover, and require retreatment. This may not be the most effective means of control for social pests, as residual insecticides allow the poison to be transported and will eradicate a larger quantity as a result.
During application, keeping in mind that Pyrethrin will also break down if exposed to sunlight. If applied to soil, the top layer breaks down fast while what remains in the soil can last for upto 12 days. This is the motivation behind the creation of a synthetic pesticide inspired by Pyrethrins, called Pyrethroids. Pyrethroids will not break down in sunlight, and are actually proven to be less toxic to mammals in comparison to the natural ingredient.
Products that include natural Pyrethrins come in a variety of forms, such as aerosols, foggers, dusts and liquid concentrates. Recommended treatments will vary depending on the target pest, and one should consult labeled recommendations for application and use. When applied in less than lethal doses, it behaves as a repellant for pests.

Talking about horses is just one of the family traditions at Nebraska's world renowned Pitzer Ranch.
Found nestled in the Sandhills region northwest of the small ranch town of Ericson the ranch provides an abundance of grass and water to support reputation Quarter Horses and registered Angus cattle.
It was 1945 when Howard first established Pitzer Ranch. At that time he rented grass for 25 cents per acre and took in cattle. Profit from pasture cattle was used to purchase land and cows. Living expenses were covered through horse trades.
Howard's grandson, Jim Brinkman, says Howard gained much of his early knowledge of livestock while traveling with his father, Harvey Pitzer, to farms and sale barns to buy and sell cattle, draft horses and mules.
"My great-grandfather was a trader," Jim says. "He'd put together bunches of cattle, horses or whatever and literally herd them to the nearest sale barn, with my grandfather, Howard, often trailing along. When he began dealing in horses, gramps represented horses as they were. That's the only way he would have it. The value of honesty started a core of buyers that continues on in generations of return customers."
It was 1956, after 10 years on the ranch, when Howard began "seriously" developing his quarter horses. It started with the purchase of his original foundation stud, Pat Star Jr. He found the stallion at a match race in Oklahoma. However, it was the 1964 horse trade for Two Eyed Jack that had the greatest impact on Pitzer Ranch genetics.
"Gramps showed Two Eyed Jack aggressively until he was nine," Jim says. "The stallion earned 217 halter points along with performance points in western pleasure, hunter under saddle, reining, western riding, cow horse, and even ran barrels a time or two. He also worked cattle on the ranch, but his greatest contribution was as a breeding stallion."
When Two Eyed Jack retired in 1991, he had sired 1,416 foals with 562 amassing 37,035 American Quarter Horse Association points. It was 119 of the foals that went on to become AQHA champions, 30 youth champions, along with 33 world or reserve world championships. With the adoption of artificial insemination, Two Eyed Jack bred as many as 434 mares in one season, proving to be one of the all-time, pre-potent breeding studs in Quarter Horse history (all before the availability of shipped or frozen semen).
In 1997, Howard and "Jack's" accomplishments were recognized when both were inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame.
Jim continues the ranch's legacy, holding annual spring and fall horse sales along with a registered Angus bull sale.
"With decades of success in the arena, horses and our horse sales have overshadowed the simple fact that Pitzer Ranch is a diversified working cattle and horse operation," Jim says. "We have a long-standing reputation for producing genetically dominant, high-quality livestock. Continuing to produce high-quality horses isn't any easier now than it was when Howard started developing the ranch's bloodlines."
To maintain the ranch's genetic quality while bringing in some outcross genetics, Jim maintains a herd of about 300 mares. In a crop of 250 foals, typically five or six catch Jim's eye.
To carry on the Pitzer Ranch's successful genetics, Jim is always on the lookout for studs and mares he prefers. When he traveled to Brazil, he was impressed with the fact that the ranch hands saddled up every morning.
"There were no pickups or four-wheelers," he noted. "Their horses were all sound and worked on the ranch every day."
That "no-coddling" philosophy is the same one Howard used throughout the years he established Pitzer Ranch.
"We've never fed our horses special rations," Jim says. "They work all day, are turned out at night and expected to go to work the next day. Our horses are bred to be physically strong, correct legged, functional, and willing to work. Our outcross sires bring in even more modern, genetic traits. The better outcross fillies are put back into the Pitzer Ranch breeding program."
About a dozen breeding stallions are featured on the ranch website. To deserve a spot on the stud roster, stallions are accomplished competitors and proven winners. Current sires include Show Me A Song Joes and Justa Genuine Jack.
"Show Me A Song Joes is a very capable, stout and shapey horse that finds work easy." Jim says. "He will probably lead our sire groups for the next five years. Justa Genuine Jack packs a lot of muscle and do-ability in his colts. In our family lines we don't trend toward a horse that's too light-boned. When selecting for genetics, we try to stay away from fads and fit more buyers by being an all-around, middle-of-the-road horse rather than limited to a specialty. We believe the ideal horse is one the family can use on the ranch then compete with on the weekends."
In order to keep current in the Western horse industry, Jim regularly participates in shows and competitions.
"The industry changes all the time," Jim says. "The only way to know how your program stands is to evaluate how you and your horses do in competition.
"Producing quality genetics isn't an exact process," Jim adds. "It helps to have large numbers of mares and stallions to produce horses with different capabilities. We use linebreeding of successful type to produce horses of consistent quality. You have to know what you're doing with the genetics to make linebreeding work. It takes three or four years before you can be sure a specific cross produces the horse you want. One advantage we have is the history of generations of proven mares and stallions. I can go back several generations and know characteristics and information about specific horses. That gives me great perspective and advantage when making breeding decisions and genetic selections."
Because they believe so strongly in breeding horses that can be used on the ranch and also perform in competition, the Brinkmans developed the HP Ranch Horse Invitational. It's an annual competition for 4 to 6-year-olds sired by proven Pitzer Ranch sires. Jim notes that Roman Times historic writings describe war horse battles and beliefs that judged competitions limit creativity and lead horsemen to be mere imitators of previous competition winners.
"We used those teachings as one of the ideas in developing our HPI competition. Our awards go to horses correctly completing the five events in the shortest amount of time" Jim says.
Dependability, probably the most notable trait of Pitzer Ranch horses, is still one of the foundation principles Jim uses in his breeding strategies.
"We also breed disposition," Jim notes. "Today's riders use horses more on weekends for recreation rather than as cowboys working on the ranch. It's a trend we don't necessarily like to see, but it's where the industry is going. Pitzer Ranch sales typically offer a couple hundred riding horses. With that many, buyers are more likely to find what they're looking for. There aren't many places where you find that many quality horses in one stop. It's one of the Pitzer Ranch traditions that we are proud to continue to maintain." ❖

There are lots of very special people all over the world fighting myeloma. Each brings to this fight their own special talents and personality. One such special person is Lee Grayson, a musician by trade. Lee is an incredibly talented man with a heart of gold. Time and time again, Lee has gone beyond his personal battle with myeloma to help the entire patient community. Once again, Lee has stepped forward to make a difference with Multiple Musicians Against Multiple Myeloma, a joyous and innovative fundraising event that was the brainchild of Lee and his friend and fellow musician, Naomi Margolin. Lee and Naomi's band, Bees Neez, performs regularly at Tupelo Honey, a beautiful club tucked away in a corner of the Long Island village of Sea Cliff. Having watched Lee fighting myeloma for the past few years, the owners of the club graciously agreed to host a fundraising event for multiple myeloma and managed to secure the necessary permissions from the village of Sea Cliff. Lee and Naomi lined up a veritable army of bands, all of whom donated their services to perform at the event. Among the bands perfoming were Jason 'n Grayson, Zen Trio, Sean Grace, Kathy Kreger Band, Rose Gunter and the Hysterical Angels, Russel Sieger, Mark Newman, The Jewish Beatles, Bees Neez, Maag Stanley, Gretchen Cryer, and Funk Filharmonik.
Add to all this good music a large crowd of fellow musicians and friends, myeloma patients and caregivers, and curious passers-by, and you've got a really fun day ahead. Attendees were given buttons emblazoned with a sentiment we've all shared at some point, "Myeloma Sucks," setting a bit of an irreverent tone. Inside, the mood was infectious, with good music and good people in abundance. Lee, Naomi, and the other performers sang, danced, and played their hearts out, while the crowd sang, clapped, drank, and shmoozed. The music ran the gamut from a nostalgic review of the Beatles era to current pop.
The crowd had many children and there were clowns in attendance to show them the many creatures that could be fashioned out of balloons while their parents were preoccupied with good friends and good music. The bartenders were kept quite busy serving up waters and more potent potables to keep everyone cool and well-hydrated.
Between sets, the crowd heard from people who'd helped Lee in his personal battle. Dr. Sundar Jagannath attended with his family and spoke to the group about current research in myeloma and the hope that it holds for the future. Carol Bakst, a fellow myeloma patient and transplant veteran, came with her new twin grandchildren and shared some of her experiences with the group. IMFer Michael Katz, who serves on the IMF's Executive Board and leads the New York support group that Lee attends, spoke about the importance of grass roots fundraising efforts and thanked everyone for stepping forward to make a difference.
The owners of Tupelo Honey, already heroes for donating the use of their beautiful club, pledged donations for every drink purchased during a number of intervals throughout the day. At one point, swept up in the spirit of the event, they began giving away drinks to save time and maximize their donation. They, like most of the crowd, were really thrilled to be able to salute Lee for his courage in battling the disease and moving beyond that battle to help others.
The flyer for the event said that it would start at 3pm and go on Till Theres A Cure. The festivities continued that day until just past midnight, when, though there was not yet a cure, there was a clear need to close up shop to avoid a clash with the village of Sea Cliff. Undaunted, Lee and Naomi turned their regular performance the next evening at Tupelo Honey into an extension of the prior day's fundraiser, receiving an enthusiastic and generous response.
Lee and Naomi are wonderful examples of people who turn a bad situation into something very positive and remind us how wonderful people can be. When Lee had his stem cell transplant last fall, they made quite an impression at the hospital, shuttling from room to room playing the guitar and singing for fellow patients and caregivers. Lee volunteers for the IMF, calling newly-diagnosed patients and making sure they've got what they need and have all of their questions answered. Their devotion to helping others, particularly in the face of the challenges presented by myeloma, is exemplary.
At a recent Patient & Family seminar, Lee received the IMF Francesca Thompson Outstanding Service Award. Dr. Thompson, an orthopedic surgeon diagnosed with multiple myeloma, was an early benefactor to the IMF. She underwrote the hotline, donated her time as a faculty member at Patient & Family seminars, and provided counsel to the many patients and caregivers who sought her advice. Lee and Naomi follow in her worthy footsteps by giving of themselves to help win the battle against myeloma. Bravo Lee and Naomi!

The honeymoon is over – at least for the press.
Dogged by persistent rumors that their early July wedding was not going to take place because of new revelations about the groom's private life – and continuing press speculation concerning the nature of their marriage – Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco addressed representatives of three news outlets on Wednesday evening, only hours after the couple returned from their honeymoon.
"We want to express our outrage about these rumors. It's unbearable," declared Albert, 53, reports Nice-Matin, one of those publications hastily summoned to meet with the newlyweds. The newspaper described the prince as "visibly ... wounded."
"What is regrettable is that the media seized on these rumors without verifying their information," complained Albert, as his bride sat beside him, holding his hand. "I find it unworthy of your colleagues. I have always respected the freedom of expression. But the dissemination of false information is lamentable and subject to criminal penalties."
Questions and speculation surrounding the couple's marriage have been unparalleled in the French press since the week before their $50 million wedding in July. This includes charges that Charlene sought to flee the nuptials only to be stopped at the airport by Monaco officals – vehemently denied by the palace – as well as allegations that Albert has fathered another child out of wedlock.
Despite palace attempts to deny rumors, the couple's activities during the official South African portion of the honeymoon were also analyzed and subjected to tabloid rumor.
"Sometimes these rumors made us smile, such as when the media explained that the princess and I had not slept in the same hotel in South Africa. It was for practical reasons of course," Nice-Matin quotes Albert as saying.
The couple's extended July 9-20 honeymoon in Mozambique was "a wonderful stay," said Albert. "We were not disturbed. It was a dreamy atmosphere."
Explaining what may have promoted the rumors, Albert said, "There are people in Monaco who seek to harm us." He made no further comment and refused questions.
During the royal audience, which was mostly conducted in French, Princess Charlene was asked whether she had anything to add.
"No," she replied in English. "I think that says it all."

UNIVERSITY PARK - The hottest defense in the Big Ten Conference was at it again Sunday.
Maggie Lucas scored 25 points and the Penn State women's basketball team held a fourth consecutive opponent to fewer than 55 points by blowing out Minnesota 83-53 at the Bryce Jordan Center.
Ariel Edwards scored 16 points and Dara Taylor added 15 points and 10 assists for Penn State (15-4, 6-1 Big Ten), which has won four straight and nine of its past 10.
The Lady Lions have surged to the top of the Big Ten standings behind a stifling defense which has allowed an average of 50 points over its past four games. Penn State last held four straight conference opponents to fewer than 55 points during the 1999-2000 season.
"I thought we started pretty strong, especially defensively," Penn State coach Coquese Washington said. "When we come out and we are locked in defensively, making the other team take tough shots, then that is a great place for us to be in."
Rachel Banham, the Big Ten's leading scorer, had 25 points for Minnesota (13-8, 2-5). Amanda Zahui added 16 points and 12 rebounds.
Minnesota, the top 3-point shooting team in the Big Ten coming in at 43 percent, was held to 20 percent (2-for-10).
"You can't give great shooters easy open looks," Washington said. "Our focus was just to be there when they caught the ball and not give them great looks."
Taylor, who also had four steals, notched her second career double-double.
"Dara was really in control of the tempo of the game," Washington said. "She is growing in that area and really managing the game and managing the team and making sure that things are flowing on the offensive end."
The senior guard was involved at the outset. She had six points, and added a steal and an assist in the game's first four minutes, as Penn State jumped ahead 13-4.
Minnesota, meanwhile, struggled to find any source of offense over the game's first 20 minutes. Only Banham and Kayla Hirt scored for the Golden Gophers in the first half, and Banham attempted 16 of the team's 30 shots.
"I just think they are big," Minnesota coach Pam Borton said about Penn State's defense. "They are just big. They protect the rim and they don't give you a lot of easy shots inside and a lot of penetration to the basket. They go 6-5 and 6-3 across the front line. That's just a big lineup."
A basket from Edwards gave Penn State its first double-digit lead, 23-12, with 11:08 left in the first half. From there, the Lady Lions gradually built their lead. Talia East's layup made it a 20-point game just before halftime and Taylor's jumper with 45 seconds left made it 44-22 at the intermission.
Lucas, who posted her 57th career 20-point game, gave Penn State its biggest lead for most of the second half when her 3-pointer made it 57-30 with 14:57 left.
Minnesota's offensive struggles continued over the final 20 minutes. Banham and Zahui, who were the team's only source of scoring for the first 15 minutes of the second half, combined on a 12-2 run that cut Penn State's lead to 17 points. The Golden Gophers got no closer the rest of the way.
Penn State now travels to No. 22 Purdue on Thursday with a chance to avenge its only loss of the past seven weeks. The Boilermakers beat the Lady Lions 84-74 on Jan. 12 at the Bryce Jordan Center.
"I definitely think it was a wake-up call for us," Edwards said of the Purdue game. "We've done a much better job of applying what we do in practice to games and executing what our coach wants us to do, so I would say that's the change we have made."

Published June 19, 2014
The UB Council welcomed a new member at its March 4 meeting while honoring the work and service of an outgoing member who had served UB's primary oversight and advisory board for more than 15 years.
Chris Koch, a fourth-generation CEO of New Era Cap Company Inc., attended his first meeting after his appointment by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Koch replaces Edmond J. Gicewicz, a longtime UB faculty member and former star UB athlete who is founder and first medical director of the university's Sports Medicine Institute. Gicewicz was UB team physician for 27 years.
Gicewicz will receive the President's Medal at this year's general commencement. President Satish K. Tripathi praised Gicewicz's lifelong contribution to UB and the UB Council, saying Gicewicz was "richly deserving of this tribute."
In other business, Tripathi also welcomed Liesl Folks, who joined UB in January as the new dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Tripathi called Folks "an extraordinary addition to our senior leadership team. SEAS and UB are very fortunate to have a researcher and leader of her caliber."
Folks joined UB from HGST, a hard-disk drive company in San Jose, Calif., where she led the development and delivery of new media advanced technologies to the marketplace. She is an internationally recognized expert in nanotechnology and magnetism, holding 14 U.S. patents.
"She is truly the ideal individual to lead SEAS to even greater heights of excellence as it continues to explore new educational programs, innovative research and technology initiatives, and new partnerships," Tripathi said.
Danny White, director of athletics, gave council members a presentation about the potential for athletics to break out as a national-caliber program. White spoke of the need for new facilities to support that ambitious plan, in particular a field house to attract student athletes and help make UB competitive nationally.
"The most important facility for us is the field house," White told council members. "From the recruiting standpoint and the student athlete development standpoint, we have to make this project a reality."
Council members also heard a presentation by Alex N. Cartwright, vice president for research and economic development, outlining the purpose and goals of the Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics, a new center designed to stimulate regional economic growth in advanced manufacturing, life sciences and energy fields.
"We are excellent. We need to compete for the best faculty across the country," Cartwright said. "And in order to do that, we need to put in the correct infrastructure and facilities.
"We also recognize we can be the leader in some areas. One of those areas is materials informatics. The only way we are going to be a leader in that is to put in the infrastructure, hire the excellent faculty we want to lead that and demand excellence from those faculty.
Dennis Black, vice president for student affairs, also outlined the latest results of a recent SUNY student satisfaction survey, conducted every three years.
"Quite frankly, we're very pleased by the results," Black said.
UB finished highest among all SUNY schools when students were asked about these issues: Would they choose to attend this school again? What was their overall impression of their education? And what was the level of satisfaction in general of their university experience?
The survey showed UB students said the university needed to improve its availability for parking, the campus' student newspaper and the services at the bookstore.

STATELINE, Nev. - More than 275 traffic enforcement stops were made by Nevada Highway Patrol troopers on Northern Nevada highways in a 10-hour period from 7 p.m. New Year's Eve until 5 a.m. New Year's Day, officials said.
Many of the motorists stopped were designated drivers for passengers riding in the vehicle, who were celebrating the New Year and had already consumed alcohol.
Only seven motorists, or roughly 3 percent, stopped during that timeframe were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Other calls for service during that same timeframe involved assisting 14 motorists whose vehicles had broken down along the highway and five automobile crashes were investigated as well.
Three of those crashes involved minor injuries and were in the Reno-Sparks area while two others happened in the Carson-Tahoe-Minden areas and were property damage only.
A typical crowd turned out to ring in the New Year at Stateline, with only 14 arrests during the evening, officials said.
Douglas County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Pat Brooks said the crowd was similar to last year's. Highway 50 through Stateline was closed at 11 p.m. and revelers were allowed onto the highway to celebrate the new year.
The Nevada side of 50 was cleared by 12:20 a.m.
"(The highway) was reopened to vehicle traffic at approximately 1 a.m. after the crowd peacefully moved off the roadway," Brooks said.
None of the public safety personnel reported any injuries.
The arrests were for charges including assault, domestic battery, disorderly conduct, minor consuming alcohol and civil protective custody. One person was issued a citation and released, Brooks said.

LOCKPORT – A Level 1 sex offender pleaded guilty Friday to two felonies and admitted violating the terms of his probation on a third.
Derrick J. Houser, 26, formerly of Niagara Falls, could be sent to state prison for as long as 12 years for his pleas Friday, County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III said.
But Assistant District Attorney Cheryl L. Nichols said Houser still faces two other charges, third-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree sexual abuse, stemming from an incident in Niagara Falls last year. Assistant Public Defender A. Joseph Catalano said Houser refused a plea offer in those matters.
He did plead guilty to two counts of failure to register. Houser left his apartment on Cedar Avenue in the Falls last June and moved to Detroit. He also failed to tell state officials about his Facebook account.
Those offenses constituted a violation of his probation for a 2009 conviction for attempted first-degree sexual abuse.

Dear Mayo Clinic: What causes Achilles tendinitis? Are there things I can do at home to help it heal more quickly?
A: Although Achilles tendinitis is often associated with an increase in sports activity, any increase in stress on the tendon can trigger symptoms. Most of the time it can be treated with relatively simple, at-home care under your doctor's supervision. Tailoring your treatment to the cause of the problem is important in treating an Achilles tendon problem.
Your Achilles tendon is a large, tough band of tissue connecting the muscles in the back of your lower leg to your heel bone. It's used anytime you walk, run, jump or push up on your toes.
Achilles tendinitis typically isn't related to a specific injury. Instead, it results from repetitive stress to the tendon, usually in conjunction with an increase in activity or a repeated activity that's more intense than the body is prepared to handle.
Early on, Achilles tendinitis may feel like a mild ache or pain at the back of the heel or an inch or two higher up the Achilles tendon. There may be more tenderness and stiffness after inactivity – such as in the morning – and the pain may be sharper after an aggravating activity.
If you feel a snap or the sensation you've been hit or shot in the Achilles tendon, it's more likely an Achilles tendon rupture.
If you have Achilles tendon pain, be sure to first talk with your doctor to rule out other problems. If you're diagnosed with tendinitis in its early stages, the following self-care measures may resolve the problem:
1. Activity modification – Avoid exercise or activity that strains or irritates the tendon, such as running, jumping or prolonged hill walking. Turn to nonaggravating, low-impact exercises, such as swimming, bicycling and resistance training.
2. Ice massage – This can help decrease pain or swelling. Freeze water in a small paper cup and peel away the rim to expose the ice. Rub the exposed ice on the tendon for about five to 10 minutes three to five times a day, including after exercise.
3. Pain-relieving medications – Nonprescription pain relievers can help with pain or discomfort. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) may help reduce inflammation, but they haven't been shown to lead to quicker healing than other options such as acetaminophen (Tylenol).
4. Light stretching and strengthening – Once the irritation starts to diminish, calf stretching and toe raises can be gradually implemented in a way that doesn't irritate the tendon.
5. Footwear adjustments – Worn-out or inappropriate shoes can be a contributing factor to Achilles tendinitis. Getting better shoes may help. If heel lifts are used, they should be used only temporarily, as they may cause shortening of the Achilles tendon.
Achilles tendon problems can get worse if not treated, and sometimes the pain persists despite appropriate self-care. After the initial inflammatory phase (tendinitis), the tendon may undergo changes (tendinosis) instead of healing. Over weeks or months, the tendon may develop microtears and swelling, frequently resulting in a tender, visible nodule where the tendon is thickened. Weakened tendon tissues are at increased risk of partial tearing or complete rupture.
Self-treatment strategies can be helpful, but they may not be enough to promote healing. A special type of strengthening called eccentric strength training can help reverse Achilles degeneration. Eccentric strengthening of the Achilles involves doing a toe raise with a very slow letdown back to the ground. Perform this exercise in consultation with your doctor and under the guidance of a physical therapist. It's important to make sure you're doing the exercise correctly and not causing harm.

In her late teens Korpi occasionally tried 3loop-3toe which she nearly landed in 2006 Olys. If she could bring that back, she could also add a 2a-3t. Then her LP would be technically competitive.
I'm surprised at all the drama in this thread. It's not even the kind.
New Ice Network story about her comeback: http://www.icenetwork.com/news/2014/07/23/85556100
Icenetwork: What should we expect from the post-injury Kiira Korpi when competitions start?
Korpi: I'm so happy to have been able to work with the amazing Carlos Avila de Borba since December of last year. Even when I went through the surgery, we never stopped working hard and as professional as possible. It's really great how well I could actually keep my condition up even when I had the cast on for six weeks.
I've spent countless hours in the swimming pool, ballet room and on the stationary bike. We've been working so much to improve my flexibility, intramuscular strength, balance and motor skills as well as edge work and free body movements. I'm sure the people will notice a difference in my skating. It has become more like dancing!
Thanks for the link, Mrs. P. I'm looking forward to her comeback even more now!
All the dancy stuff will help her presentation scores, but she needs the 3t+3t, lutz and loop to keep her TES high enough to compete with the top skaters.
Thanks Mrs P!
I'm so exited to see her comeback. Kiira is a tough woman
The music choice for the LP (Sibelius violin concerto) sounds very grown-up and quite challenging. I really hope she can pull it off.
Personally, prior to her injury, I thought Kiira was on to something awesome. I loved her programs from 2012-2013 and I look forward to seeing her this season!
Is Adam no longer with Arutunian?Korpi returned to the United States at the end of June to continue preparing for the new season under the guidance of her coach, Rafael Arutunian, whose students also include two-time U.S. champion Ashley Wagner and 2014 U.S. junior champion Nathan Chen.

Erie police probe 2 armed robberies
Erie police are investigating a pair of armed robberies in the city.
The latest happened at about 4:15 a.m., when police said a plow driver was robbed in the area of West Seventh and Sassafras Street. The victim told police he was approached by a man who asked for a cigarette, and when the plow driver reached over to get one the suspect pulled out a gun and demanded money.
The other robbery happened on Wednesday at about 8 p.m. in the area of East 30th and Perry streets. A man had his iPad stolen by a young male who pulled a gun on him, police said.

- Gagner at 17: 82gp, 16-39-55
It's impossible to make a direction comparison (we don't have any of the minutes broken down, there was probably a difference in linemate quality, etc) but at some point when a number is so much larger you have to say "there's just too much" and make the call. That's what I think we have in this case.
A few quotes on Gagner:
Redline: Sam Gagner is Kane's running mate in London. He has wonderful vision and creativity and a variety of touch passes that he can make through traffic. He is also the son of former NHL standout Dave Gagner and has acquired his father's intuitive offensive instincts and general hockey sense. Gagner's lateral quickness and variety of shifty moves create problems for defenders.
Redline: Plays with drive, determination and hustle. Very smart and heady player who competes hard and hates losing. While not an elite skater, he gets there just fine. Not the biggest dog in the fight, but thrives in traffic and works well in tight space. Slick hands with a quick release snap-shot that keeps defencemen and goaltenders guessing. Can hold the puck too long at times and needs to work on seeing his mates better. Has the ability to play the pivot or wing.
ISS: Sam is a tremendously gifted player. His offensive skills are unquestionable and he has been a top point producer at every level that he has played. Shows very good puck control at a high rate of speed. Linemates benefit from Sam's excellent anticipation, vision and passing skills, often being set up in excellent scoring positions. Like other young players, at times will cheat on the offensive side of the puck, however he is dependable if game situation clearly requires strong defensive play. Does not have great size, must continue to work on core strength.
I believe Gagner is a better prospect than both Slava Trukhno and Andrew Cogliano, better upside and more of a sure thing. I wonder if he'll be ready at 19 (as was Hemsky).

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Caris Life Sciences believes that the future of cancer treatment lies in an in-depth understanding of the genetic makeup of a patient's tumor. David Halbert, CEO and chairman, started Caris in 2005 to offer the healthcare market advanced pathology services to diagnose various diseases including cancer. The company's complete diagnostic, prognostic, and theranostic services provide physicians with detailed, customized information to help with treatment planning.
The Caris Target Now™ molecular profiling platform examines a patient's tumor to detect specific biomarkers that can be targeted with available therapeutics. The genetic profile of an individual's tumor is matched to information in the Caris database of 100,000 published clinical studies reviewed by experts at Caris.
A final report summarizes available therapies that are most likely to be effective, as well as therapies that are likely to be ineffective for the patient, based on their tumor's unique molecular profile. The report contains the most relevant information available to help physicians select effective cancer therapies.
The U. S. spends $124 billion on cancer care. Patients who do not respond to standard therapies contribute to the increasing costs of care. "Our goal is to improve care and decrease costs by identifying molecular targets to improve treatment response rates," says Les Paul, M.D., CTO.
Caris Target Now uses state-of-the-art techniques, including direct gene sequencing, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), DNA microarrays, and mutational analysis, to examine tumor samples sent by physicians. Molecular profiling uncovers treatment targets that point to tumor-specific therapeutic agents, including treatments that are not routinely part of standard regimens or those that may not have been considered previously.
For instance, Herceptin® is known to benefit breast cancer patients with the Her2 gene. However, an estimated 20% of ovarian tumors, 19% of gastroesophageal tumors, and 11% of colorectal cancers also express the Her2 gene, and these patients may benefit from Herceptin, too.
"Physicians report case anecdotes about cancer patients who show tremendous responses to drugs not regularly prescribed for these types of tumors," says Tom Spalding, chief marketing officer.
Colorectal cancer is another area where Caris Target Now is used. The standard treatment is determined by whether the KRAS mutation is present or absent. "We go one step further and analyze members of the EGFR pathway by sequencing both KRAS and BRAS," says Dr. Paul. If these mutations are found, patients generally do not benefit from standard treatment with EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) inhibitors.
A pilot study reported in the November 2010 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology showed that cancer treatments tailored to a tumor's unique genetic makeup (determined by Caris Target Now) increased progression-free survival in 27% of cancer patients with refractory disease. Molecular profiling, in particular, helps patients who have not responded to standard therapies or patients with rare or aggressive solid tumors.
To date, nearly 20,000 patient tumors have been profiled with Caris Target Now. In 2010, the number of molecular profiled cancer cases increased by 300%, and 1,000 patients each month receive personalized profiles of their tumors. "These statistics support the growth of understanding the importance of molecular targets in cancer care today."
Carisome™, the company's newest technology under development, uses a blood-based method to isolate circulating microvesicles that may help to diagnose cancer. Circulating microvesicles range from 40 nanometers to 1.5 microns in size. They are small lipid bilayered particles released from cells, including tumor cells. Different tumors release different circulating microvesicles, which carry unique biomarker signatures that represent their cell of origin.
Researchers at Caris are working on ways to isolate, capture, and count circulating microvesicles as potential diagnostic tools for prostate, lung, breast, and other solid tumors. The noninvasive blood-based test could eventually replace invasive tissue biopsies.
Additionally, technologies used in Caris Target Now and Carisome may help companies screen for biomarkers in drug trials. The Carisome platform could become a service tool to characterize tumor-derived biomarkers in blood samples rather than in tissue biopsies. "It's a big challenge to get multiple biopsies from patients, which is a limiting factor in drug trials," says Spalding.
The company started with a small group of pathologists who specialized in analysis of colonoscopy tissue using standard anatomical laboratory methods. The service, called Caris Path™, expanded to cover dermatology, hematology, urology, and oncology pathology services. Traditional anatomical pathology techniques are still used, but molecular targeting tools are integrated to improve outcomes.

It's not unusual for visitors to the major political party headquarters in Erie County to wonder why "interns" lord over the big corner offices.
But Democrat Jeremy J. Zellner and Republican Nicholas A. Langworthy, the fresh-faced guys mistaken for interns, are actually running the show. Zellner, 34, and Langworthy, 31, represent the youngest party leader tandem of any major county in New York State – and maybe the nation.
These two budding leaders – with significant experience already logged on the campaign trail – are cautiously but forcefully making their way up the political ladder.
"It's an opportunity," said Zellner, who walked off the street eight years ago to volunteer and now runs upstate New York's biggest political organization. "Our community is not so steeped in tradition that it's just the same old, same old. It can support new ideas."
Langworthy, who inherited the GOP helm two years ago at just 29, has already logged enough highs and lows to qualify as a grizzled old pol.
"It's a challenging job," he said. "It's a lot like being a football coach. There are tough times along the way, but you have to stick to your game plan."
To put their youth in perspective, Zellner's predecessor – Leonard R. Lenihan – is 64, almost as old as both of the younger men put together. Lenihan, who left the Democratic helm in September, often credited presidential candidate John F. Kennedy's appearance at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium more than 50 years ago with inspiring his entry into politics.
This pair barely remembers Bill Clinton's ascension to the White House in 1992.
Veteran politicos like Joseph F. Crangle appreciate the challenges faced by the rookie leaders. Crangle was elected Erie County Democratic chairman in 1965 at 32, retaining the post for 23 years and even ascending to state chairman along the way.
"At that age you feel like there's nothing you can't do," Crangle said. "You're more apt to take risks. And you don't know any better, so you just keep on going."
Wisdom ensues, Crangle said, with the realization that the occasional defeat contributes to the experience.
Though some say Erie County political bosses no longer wield the influence of predecessors like Democrat Crangle or Republican Edwin F. Jaeckle, they still command vast resources and powers.
The nod of a Democratic or Republican chairman in Erie County almost always translates into the party endorsement, which unleashes hordes of party workers to satisfy the mechanics of qualifying for the ballot – like scouring the streets for signatures on designating petitions.
Aspirants for State Supreme Court throughout the eight counties of Western New York also traditionally need the approval of one person – the Erie County Democratic or Republican chairman – to gain the party nomination. Often the two leaders grant bipartisan backing that virtually guarantees election of the cross-endorsed judicial candidate.
And party machinery always attracts money and influence, either through donations to headquarters or the deference paid to the chairmen of upstate's largest county by New York City types seeking statewide office.
The pair also presides over two starkly different organizations.
For generations, Erie County Democrats have earned a statewide reputation for warring among themselves. Zellner's headquarters faction, for example, represents only one entity. Others loyal to Mayor Byron W. Brown and, to some extent, Rep. Brian Higgins of Buffalo also make up the balkanized party.
Over at Republican headquarters, things work much more smoothly. Langworthy succeeded predecessor James P. Domagalski in typical GOP fashion – with no muss, no fuss. That's the same way Domagalski followed Robert E. Davis, how Davis assumed the party helm from Thomas M. Reynolds, and how Reynolds took over for Victor N. Farley. GOP graybeards quietly and efficiently determined the line of succession.
Now, experience is already plentiful for both new chairmen, mainly because the political bug bit them long ago. Both earned degrees in political science – Langworthy from Niagara University and Zellner from Buffalo State College – and began as volunteers.
Zellner served for eight years as Lenihan's assistant at the party's Ellicott Square headquarters. Langworthy managed Republican Henry F. Wojtaszek's campaign against Rep. Louise M. Slaughter in 2002. He later worked for Reynolds when he served in Congress and then for former Rep. Christopher J. Lee. He still wears the battle scars of Reynolds' last, toughest and successful campaign against Democrat Jack Davis in 2006.
"I got to work a lot with [Reynolds] on the government side, but it all culminated in that big race of '06," Langworthy said. "That was wild."
Since then Langworthy has earned a reputation as both "boy wonder" and "greenhorn question mark." At the 2010 Republican State Convention in Manhattan, the 29-year-old chairman outmaneuvered GOP veterans by gaining a speaking spot for favorite son gubernatorial candidate Carl P. Paladino. The party parliamentarians ruled Paladino had no right to speak at the convention, but Langworthy simply had the candidate nominate himself – thereby gaining the podium.
"We stared them down and were able to have Carl nominate himself," he said.
The convention still ignored Paladino, endorsing former Rep. Rick A. Lazio. But Langworthy further caught the state party's attention when Paladino crushed Lazio in the primary, only to be subsequently clobbered by Democrat Andrew M. Cuomo in the general election.
Langworthy experienced tougher days in 2011 as part of former County Executive Chris Collins' inner circle. Some GOP icons grumbled that he and other Collins rookies botched Assemblywoman Jane L. Corwin's special election congressional candidacy against Democrat Kathleen C. Hochul to fill the seat vacated by Republican Lee. Later that year, finger pointing at the same group resumed when Collins lost his bid for a second term as county executive to Mark C. Poloncarz, the Democratic county comptroller.
But Langworthy bounced back in 2012, supporting U.S. Senate candidate Wendy Long early in the GOP primary and notching a congressional victory for Collins over Hochul – even if just barely. Victories for Republicans Mark J. Grisanti in the State Senate and Stefan I. Michajliw for county comptroller also soothed the sting of a year ago.
"This is a tough, hard-nosed environment for all the parties," the chairman says now. "I learned a lot of lessons, including that you never win all your races."
Reynolds, now a Washington lobbyist, recognized special qualities in the Niagara undergrad when Langworthy sought to work on Wojtaszek's underdog congressional campaign against Slaughter. He compares his arrival to Crangle's in the 1960s, as a newcomer intent on conducting politics differently.
"When you look at Nick when he took over in his 20s and now at his Democratic counterpart, it says that in the 21st century the major parties are ready to look at someone younger to lead them," Reynolds said. "That wasn't true in [former chairmen] Ed Jaeckle's or Vic Farley's day."
But Reynolds, also a former Erie County GOP chairman at the relatively young age of 40, said he saw Langworthy as ready for the job even at 29.
"I thought he was a great student of politics and the application of politics," Reynolds said.
Now Langworthy presides over one of New York's key Republican organizations from his headquarters at 715 Main St. – a cozy enclosure of exposed brick walls that serves as a magnet for the state's top GOP dignitaries. Indeed, Langworthy qualifies as an official professional politician at this early state of his career, earning about $56,000 in the past year as chairman, according to campaign finance records.
Unlike Langworthy's unopposed coronation as chairman, Zellner had to fight and claw his way through a contentious campaign last summer. He triumphed over party veteran and Cheektowaga Democratic Chairman Frank C. Max Jr., 60, but took a beating on Election Day last month. Though he had been chairman for only six weeks, some blamed him for the defeats of Hochul for Congress, Michael L. Amodeo for State Senate and David J. Shenk for county comptroller in an overwhelmingly Democratic county, despite strong turnout in a presidential year.
"They put in a midlevel, junior staffer who is just a shill for Lenihan," former Erie County Democratic Chairman G. Steven Pigeon recently said of the Zellner operation.
In addition, Zellner maintains only tenuous ties to power centers like City Hall and the state Capitol. He is attempting to build a relationship with Brown as a mayoral election approaches – with no solid success yet. Cuomo's political team, meanwhile, forced out Lenihan while supporting Max behind the scenes. At this point, Zellner has virtually no relationship with the governor's forces.
None of that mattered to Lenihan, who championed Zellner as his successor precisely because he arrived without political baggage or entanglements.
"When he first walked into headquarters he came as a volunteer; not part of any faction," the former chairman said. "He was just a young guy who loved politics. And that's unique."
Lenihan said Zellner also impressed him as a disciplined worker who knew politics "inside out." The newcomer was not as enthralled with intramural skirmishes as with winning elections, he said.
"With Jeremy, there's not a lot of emotion involved," he said. "It's about getting the job done instead of arguing with people."
The new chairman, however, knew from the start he was inheriting a party marked by factionalism and infighting. He says he is strengthened because he owes his new post to nobody – including Poloncarz, widely viewed as Zellner's champion.
"If it wasn't an open process, I wouldn't be here," Zellner said.
Zellner points out he was raised by a single mother who partially relied on social services, while his grandfather and uncles were union men – all helping to form a Democratic philosophy he believes the local party needs to embrace.
"We'll be reminding people why they are Democrats, make them proud to be Democrats, and to support Democratic candidates," he said. "And we'll run candidates who are professionals and not career politicians. That's where I want to take it."
He also says he will not veer far from Lenihan's philosophy and methods.
"What we did with Len was just a tremendous success," Zellner said. "If not for Bill Clinton, he would be my political hero."
Zellner, a City of Tonawanda resident, makes his living as the $79,577 chief of staff to the County Legislature and does not take a salary as chairman, unlike his predecessor. He says he conducts party business during his off hours.
In the meantime, both chairmen are following similar paths for young men of their age – putting down roots. Langworthy and fiancee Erin Baker will be married on Friday and will reside in North Buffalo; Zellner and his wife, Carrie, are expecting their first child in March.

She will launch a SiriusXM show "Dirty, Sexy, Funny with Jenny McCarthy" on Wednesday and marry New Kids on the Block singer and film producer Donnie Wahlberg, 44, soon.
"I will marry Donnie in the next few weeks," McCarthy, 41, told PEOPLE Saturday, before hosting her touring comedy review Dirty Sexy Funny at Miami's Magic City Casino.
"He is the most amazing man, and we have become a great team. Although I haven't told my dad yet, my son, Evan, will walk me down the aisle before he goes back to school in the fall."
Wahlberg will also be one of the Sirius show's special guest stars, the network announced Monday.
The best-selling author, activist, actress and former Playboy model, who recently announced she is leaving The View, said she took a year off from men to find herself before dating Wahlberg, a man she had admired from afar.
"I knew if I closed my mind to men for too long I might be missing someone who was really right for me," McCarthy says. "And then Donnie came along. I am so grateful!"
After the wedding, McCarthy will begin her weekly, one-hour radio show, which she says will complement her current comic romp, a project she began three years ago after touring the country to find the funniest female comediennes.
"I love comedy and want to devote my career to it, but I am not a stand-up," she says. "My passion is to empower female comics. I want to see them succeed."
Dirty Sexy Funny is an outrageous and humorous look at the lives of contemporary women, performed by her five-member female cast. For her role, McCarthy introduces the comics as the show's master of ceremonies, then adds a few of her own risqué video vignettes between acts.
"We are expanding this show from weekend performances in the Eastern states to more dates throughout the Midwest and soon we will shoot a pilot," McCarthy says. "I am so happy to be able to do what I love and marry a man who lets me be me."

5 Ways Positive Thinking Can Change Your Life
Looking on the bright side can go a long way. Learn how a positive attitude can transform your life for the better
Now, this may run the risk of sounding pessimistic, but of course, there is a slight catch. Becoming a positive thinker isn't as simple as looking at a colorful "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster more often. "It's easier said than done," says Noelle Damon, a holistic psychotherapist. "It takes practice. Positive thinking is not to be confused with a belief that everything is OK or should be OK. It's about maintaining balance even when it isn't." Now for the good news: Once you equip yourself with the proper tools to transform negative thoughts into positive ones, you'll begin to notice a change, not only in yourself, but in other aspects of your life from relationships to even your physical appearance.
To help you get started on the path toward optimism, we asked professional therapists and psychologists to not only reveal the many benefits of positive thinking, but to offer advice on how to incorporate the practice for long term effects. Click ahead to learn the five ways positive thinking can change your life and how you can start being more positive today.

This is one of my FAVORITE pieces ever! My mom worked for college psychology professors when I was growing up, and I devoured book after book about positive thinking and a healthy mental attitude. It has a HUGE impact on your appearance and the way things work out in your life; we are what we THINK. Applause, applause for this!

NIAGARA FALLS – Kelley Hunt is one heck of a performer. Her voice can shift into the stratosphere and then stop on the proverbial dime, thereby displaying a heady mix of craft and showmanship. Syllables are stretched across the scale, roaming back and forth among the notes, turning simple words into an emotional vehicle for pain and pleasure.
Hunt's piano playing is solid, complimenting her singing with high-powered boogie-woogie strains one minute and rolling gospel-inspired chords the next. Then, there's her band, a tight (but not constricted) group of professionals that understood their roles and played them well. All of this combined to ensure that the Bear's Den, an intimate Seneca Niagara Casino venue with great sight lines, was filled with fans when Hunt and crew showed up there Saturday night.
The evening was dedicated to Jim Santella, the Buffalo Broadcasting Hall of Fame member and former blues host on WBFO, but other dedications cropped up during the evening, as well. There was one for past and present members of the armed forces that led to Hunt unleashing a powerful take on Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," another remembrance ("These Are the Days") for Ann Rabson, the co-leader of Saffire, who died earlier that week, and "I Miss You," from her self-titled debut album, which was dedicated to Miles Joseph, her former guitarist who died on Christmas.
Among these emotional tributes were tunes depicting all manner of emotions, all well-paced and impressively delivered. Most of the material played came from "Gravity Loves You" and "Mercy," her last couple releases, but she also dug into titles from prior releases.
Songs like "Too Much History," "Long Way Home," "The Land of Milk and Honey" and the gospel-inflected "You Got To Be the Vessel" showed just how talented she is as a songwriter, a quality that it can be easy to overlook given the skills she has as a performer. Hunt also unleashed a song ("Sympathize"?) that was on the short list for inclusion on the new album (her sixth) that she was working on.
Most of the instrumental solos were handled by Hunt and guitarist John Rhodes, but organist David Dupart got his chance almost an hour into the set, when he and the band leader worked out a tricky exchange of instruments that found both musicians working away on one instrument before slipping seamlessly over to the other one.
Bassist Kenny Ames and drummer Bryan Head worked together well, providing a platform for everyone else to jump off of.
All in all, it was a very good show, one that highlighted just why Hunt's fan base keeps growing. Plainly speaking, she works hard and delivers the goods.

After 11 water district public hearings held last summer and last week, the Marilla Town Board has unanimously agreed to turn the town's four water districts over to the Erie County Water Authority to maintain.
Council members Barbara Spanitz, Beth Ackerman and Warren Handley, the most skeptical members of the board regarding the issue, voted yes, explaining that it was what the public wanted. Councilmen Donald Darrow and Supervisor George Gertz favored the move from the beginning of the debate a year ago.
When the turnover is complete, the authority will be responsible for capital improvements, maintenance and replacement of water pipes, water tank, and pumping stations for Water Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5. Last summer, the town had the water tank painted by Amstar of WNY and water district residents in Water Districts 2, 3 and 4 shared the cost in a bond. Water District 5 did not participate as they were the newest district formed.
The first move by the Town Board will be a letter to the authority announcing the vote and asking to set up a contract. Gertz announced that the authority wants to treat the four districts as one large district for maintenance purposes but the debt load for bonding will continue to be the responsibility of the individual districts.
Annual maintenance fees will be the same.
A fund set up for Water District 2 by a lawsuit settlement with Milhurst Construction regarding stone bedding for the pipeline will require Milhurst to continue to give District 2 $5,000 a year for 20 years to deal with any possible construction problems in the future. The money will go toward paying off this district's bond. The fund was established due to a settlement agreement in 2008.
Gertz said he held numerous hearings last summer to make certain all the homeowners in those water districts could have their say. Not many did. Of the possible 1,826 water customers who could have attended the hearings, only 50 showed up, and most of them were in favor of the turnover.

CORPUS CHRISTI (Islanders Athletics) - The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball team got a big assist from the offense in the series finale on Saturday, with the Islanders earning a 9-3 win over Oral Roberts to win 2-of-3 against the Golden Eagles.
The Islanders (16-12, 3-3 Southland) backed the pitching of Trevor Belicek (3-1), with the lefty getting the start and going 5.0 innings and allowing two runs on five hits with four walks and six strikeouts. The Golden Eagles (9-18, 4-2 Southland) won their first four games of Southland Conference action, but dropped the final two of the series as the Islanders won the series in their first home conference series of the year.
Jonathan Gonzales hit his first ever home run at Chapman Field, going yard over the right field wall as part of a 3-for-4 day with four RBI. Stafford Brantley also added three hits in the game, while Brad Porras and Zach Taylor notched a pair against ORU. Eric Weiss, Brandon Tierney, Russell Vaughan and Brad Lamberti rounded out the offensive output with one hit apiece.
In addition to Gonzales' four RBI, Weiss and Taylor added two, while Brantley picked up one in the game.
Oral Roberts scored first for the second game in a row, getting a leadoff home run by Nate Goro to make it a 1-0 lead.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi responded quickly, plating a run in the bottom of the first to square the score at 1-1. After a pitch hit Cody Stephens, he stole second base and scored on a Weiss double to right center for the 1-1 tie.
The Islanders added three in the third inning, with Gonzales getting the first run of the inning on the board with his drive over the fence in right field to make it 2-1. After there were two outs in the inning, Tierney reached on a hit by pitch and moved to second on a Brantley single. Both runners came around to score when Taylor hit a two-RBI double to right center that made it a 4-1 game.
ORU got a run back in the fourth, but the Islanders answered once again with a run of their own in the bottom of the fifth.
Gonzales singles down the left field line and moved to third on a Porras double. Brantley got his only RBI of the day with an infield single that allowed Gonzales to come home to make it 5-2.
The Golden Eagles threatened in the sixth inning, getting two on with no outs, but Adam Hoelscher came on in relief and promptly got a double play and a strikeout swinging to end the threat and preserve the score.
The home team was not done however, adding two runs each in the sixth and seventh to finish the scoring for the Islanders.
Vaughan led off the sixth with a single through the right side and was pinch run for by Jacob Hubert, who advanced to second on a ground out by Stephens. Jordan Lee followed with a walk that put a pair of runners on, and both moved up a base on a wild pitch.
Gonzales followed with another hit, this time a two-RBI single to center that plated both Hubert and Lee to make it 7-2.
In the seventh, Taylor started the inning off with a single and moved to second on a Lamberti single down the left field line. After the Golden Eagles made a pitching change, Stephens walked to load the bases. A fielder's choice eliminated Taylor at home as Lee reached base, and Weiss came through with an RBI on a fielder's choice as the shortstop made an error that allowed Stephens to reach third safely as Lamberti scored.
Gonzales followed with his final RBI of the day, hitting a sacrifice fly to center that plated Stephens and made it a 9-2 game.
ORU scored one in the eighth, but AJ Longoria came on to finish out the game for the Islanders victory.
Next up for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will by a busy week on the diamond. The team is scheduled for a Tuesday matchup against Texas at 7 p.m. in Austin, with the game being aired on The Longhorn Network. They return home and will face the Corpus Christi Hooks in an exhibition game the very next day, with first pitch set for 7:05 p.m. between the two hometown teams.
From there, the team travels to Thibodaux, La. for a three-game Southland Conference series against the Nicholls Colonels next Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

LOCKPORT – The Town Board is expected to vote on the 2013 town budget after holding a series of public hearings starting at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Town Hall, 6560 Dysinger Road.
The nearly $14.4 million spending plan will increase the amount to be collected in property taxes by almost 1 percent, but the owner of a home assessed at $100,000, which is about average in most of the town, would see a $6.42 decrease in the total tax bill.
In the Carlisle Gardens subdivision, the average home would see a $7.64 decrease, and in the Lincoln Village subdivision, the average reduction would be $4.50.
Spending in the budget is rising $345,699, or 2.46 percent, above this year's model.
The budget includes 2 percent pay raises for elected officials and 3 percent increases in the contractual payments to the five fire companies serving parts of the town.
In other matters at Monday's Town Board work session, Councilwoman Cheryl A. Antkowiak said discussions will start in two weeks about a timeline for installation of a pavilion and a memorial walking trail in Day Road Park.
Antkowiak said a memorial brick walk by Unilock will be installed around or near the pavilion.
Supervisor Marc R. Smith reported that the town Highway Department is hauling fill to Lytle Park on North Canal Road, where the parking lot is to be expanded next spring. Also, earthen berms will be installed along each side of a space near the road, where the beginning of a nearly two-mile walking trail is to be laid next year.
The route will include a 400-foot boardwalk section through some wetlands, while the rest of the path will be paved, Smith said.
The board also agreed to begin work on abandoning a portion of Crown Drive in the town industrial park to Yahoo, which bought another 12 acres of land in the park last month. The turnover of the road to Yahoo, adjoining the electrical substation for its data center, was part of the deal.

With the conference season winding down in the Midland Athletic League, two teams stood unbeaten at 8-0, atop the league standings. One was a veteran Mohawk squad, the other was young and hungry Calvert team.
When the two met Thursday at Calvert, experience prevailed.
Mohawk dispatched of the Senecas 25-22, 25-16, 25-16, leaving the Warriors alone atop the league.
For all Mohawk accomplished a year ago, including a trip to state, the one thing that eluded the Warriors was a league title. Now the team sits on the doorstep of filling that gap.
The Warriors hold a one-game edge over Calvert and New Riegel with two to play. One more win gives the Warriors at least a share; two more wins gives them the whole thing.
"That was definitely one of our goals this year," Mohawk coach Eric Hoover said. "If there was one thing last year we could've changed that would've been it. But we put ourselves in position this year to have a much better chance of that. We got two more games to go, and we don't want to share. So we're going to work hard and do everything we need to do to come out and win the next two."
"This is awesome," Mohawk's Sarah Parker added. "This is another step towards reaching our goal and it feels amazing to have everyone come here and play good and get a win."
Parker said after the game she wanted to come out and make a statement early. She certainly lived up to that vow with her performance in the first game.
Calvert jumped out to a 4-1 lead but Parker led the way as Mohawk reeled off the next seven points, with Parker collecting four kills in that span. She totaled nine kills in the first game alone, and 19 in the match.
"I had a feeling in warmups that Sarah was feeling pretty good tonight," Hoover said. "So that was good, she came out and had a really strong first game. We wanted to get on them early. I know (Calvert is) young and they've obviously had a really good year, but they're still young, and I felt if we got on them early it would certainly be to our advantage."
Mohawk looked poised to put the first game away early up 24-16. However, Calvert rallied putting up the next six points, starting with a kill by Haley Felter. Kelsey Hendrix served an ace, Jordan Gase picked up a pair of kills and Amber Perry slammed a kill of her own, helping get Calvert within two at 24-22.
Julie Adelsperger responded for Mohawk with a kill of her own to bring an end to the first game.
"We went up against a veteran ball club," Calvert coach Greg Hendrix said. "We knew what we were facing in Mohawk. You're talking about a team that went to state, final four last year and they got all their key components back this year. We're an extremely young ballclub. We knew what we were facing in this. I can't be upset at the girls. They came out and gave it absolutely everything they had. We just got beat by a good ball club on that floor tonight."
Mohawk had the game in hand, but Calvert seemingly had momentum with its late run. Hoover, though, was anxious for his team to put an end to it.
"That was something I could talk about in between the first and second game," he said. "I could kind of use that. 'Hey, we gave them some momentum. We got to come out early and get the lead early and gain control again, so they don't continue with that momentum.'"
"It was mainly just relax, communicate more," Parker said of Hoover's message. "We've been playing volleyball since fifth grade. We know how to pass a ball; we know how to hit a ball. It's just a matter of putting it all together and having fun."
Mohawk opened the second game with a 6-1 run behind aces by Clara Adelsperger and Lynsey Trusty, a kill by Parker and a pair of points off blocks from Julie Adelsperger. Calvert kept it close as Meridith Lucius had a kill and a pair of aces. The Senecas got as close as three at 15-12.
However, Mohawk closed out the second game with a 10-4 run, ending things with a Clara Adelsperger kill.
A Parker kill and two Julie Adelsperger aces opened up a Mohawk lead early in game three. Calvert stayed close early only down one at 6-5, but the Warriors went on 14-4 run to open things up with Kasey Adelsperger having three kills during that span. She also knocked down the game's final kill, becoming the third different Adelsperger to close out a game with a kill on the night.
Kasey finished the night with eight kills and Julie had seven.
Parker gave credit to the crowd support for helping inspire the team.
"We're lucky to have atmospheres like that," she said of the packed Calvert gym. "Not every high school team can come out and play in a tournament-like atmosphere. I remember last year at Elida (for regionals) it was like that. It's amazing. I'm grateful to everyone who comes out and watches us and supports us all the way. This is awesome."
Lucius and Perry each slammed six kills to lead Calvert (13-6, 8-1 MAL). Kaleigh Hendrix dished out 17 assists.
Calvert will try to rebound as its next league match will be against New Riegel Tuesday.
"It's a learning process," Hendrix said. "These kids got to learn to get over the hump. Going up in a match like this, they got to take the positives instead of dwelling on the negatives. They got to come back and go after a scrappy, solid New Riegel team. There's no stopping and pouting about it. We're a young team and we just got to pick ourselves back up off the canvas and go back after it."
