Katelyn Dambaugh came into the 2013 U.S. Women's Amateur with a goal of playing on Aug 8. She has worn hats embroidered with "DG 8-8" and "Finish Strong," a tribute to close family friend Maj. David Gray, a Charleston Southern graduate who was killed a year ago Thursday by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan.

Wednesday at the Country Club of Charleston, Dambaugh advanced through the first round of match play at the Country Club of Charleston by finishing strong. Dambaugh, an 18-year-old Pinewood Prep graduate who is headed to the University of South Carolina, scored a 2-up victory over 15-year-old Mariel Galdiano of Pearl City, Hawaii.
"All I thought was 'finish strong' and that's all I could do," said Dambaugh, the 2010 U.S. Girls' Junior runner-up.
"I called (Gray) my brother. I knew him my whole life and I was the flower girl in the wedding. I had these hats made and some clothes made. I wanted to play tomorrow on his anniversary. That's really what means the most to me."
Dambaugh won the second and third holes of her match for an early 2-up advantage. But Galdiano, who qualified for this year's U.S. Women's Open, battled back and squared the match on the sixth hole. Galdiano won 10, 11 and 13 for a 2-up advantage with five holes left, and that's when Dambaugh began her charge.
Dambaugh won the 14th with a par and squared the match with a birdie on the par-5 15th. She left a birdie putt hanging on the lip on 16, and then sent a 6-iron to four feet for a birdie and a 1-up advantage after 17. Dambaugh also won the 18th with a par after Galdiano hit her tee shot into a fairway bunker and was unable to reach the green in regulation.
"She played awesome the last five holes when she needed to," said former Pinewood Prep teammate Austin Cody, who is caddying for Dambaugh this week. "She did exactly what she had to do and did it with pressure on her. What she did 14 through 18, you can't teach that. That was impressive. She didn't miss a green, made two birdies and the rest pars."
With a large gallery of family and friends following, Dambaugh admitted to feeling stressed.
"I expected to be nervous but I was more nervous than I thought I would be," she said.
The stress level was multiplied for her parents, E.G. and Cindy Dambaugh. Her mother said her stomach was in knots from the fourth hole on while her father said he was glad for the match to finish.
"I'm not used to this much stress," her father said. "I've been to a lot of golf matches but this was something. I don't remember being this stressed at the Girls' Junior, maybe because expectations weren't so high.
"She's put a lot of pressure on herself. Tomorrow is a special day for her. She wanted to at least get through to Thursday to play for her friend who was killed in Afghanistan."
Dambaugh will play Alison Lee of Valencia, Calif., at 9:10 a.m. Thursday in a match pitting former Girls' Junior runner-ups. Dambaugh made it to the final in 2010 before losing to Doris Chen, while Lee was the 2012 girls' Junior runner-up. Lee, who is playing in her sixth Women's Amateur and has played in three Women's Opens, defeated Dawn Woodard of Greer, 3 and 1.
Dambaugh is the only South Carolina golfer remaining. Lauren Stephenson of Lexington fell 4 and 3 to Annie Park of Levittown, N.Y.
Medalist Yumi Matsubara of Japan followed Tuesday's record-setting performance and won her first match. Matsubara, who is 14 years old, made a sweeping 30-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th hole to close out Bianca Maria Fabrizio of Italy, 2 and 1.
Also advancing was Lauren Diaz-Yi, who in June scored a 10 and 9 victory to win the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links. On Wednesday Diaz-Yi, from Thousand Oaks, Calif., defeated Desiree Dubreuil of Santa Ana, Calif., 4 and 3.

One of the biggest names in professional wrestling history will be making an appearance at the Jaffa Shrine in December.
Bret Hart, a World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer and multiple-time world, intercontinental and tag team champion, will be a part of Big Time Wrestling's Dec. 7 show set to begin at 8 p.m. in Altoona.
Hart's former tag partner, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, former ECW champions Shane Douglas and Tommy Dreamer, fellow WWE Hall of Famer Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, The Patriot and Carlito Colon are also slated to appear.
"The most intriguing and special part of the night besides the wrestling will be the fan fest from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. during which you can get in line and meet Bret Hart and Tommy Dreamer," BTW co-owner Steve Perkins said. "You can shake their hand, have a meet-and-greet autograph session and you'll get to meet heroes and people you've seen on TV for years."
Other personalities on the card include Jimmy Hart, the one-time manager of Hulk Hogan who is considered by some as the greatest manager in pro wrestling history, and diva Jessie Belle Smothers.
"Central Pa. has a long storied wrestling history going back as far as Bruno Sammartino in Pittsburgh up until today," Perkins said. "The Jaffa Mosque has hosted many tours, but the WWE is no longer touring the venue and we can put on a good show at a reasonable price."
Tickets start as low as $15 and range up to $50 and can be purchased at Hooters in Altoona or the Altoona Spine and Injury Center in the Walmart Plaza.
The turnout will help decide the future of Big Time Wrestling appearances in the city.
"We'd like to see 2,500 to 3,000 fans, send everyone home happy and announce that we'll be back in March," Perkins said. "Whether we'll come back twice a year or once a year depends on the response we get."
Many of BTW's shows are along the Canadian border. This is the farthest southwest the organization has traveled so far.
The night's main event is being billed as an "Extreme Altoona Street Fight" featuring current BTW champion Douglas and Dreamer.
The event will also include a fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation which works toward a cure, better treatment and prevention for type 1 diabetes.
"I would like to thank Big Time Wrestling for fundraising for our Walk for the Cure held in Altoona," JDRF executive director Susan Harral said. "All funds raised by Big Time Wrestling will go directly to JDRF and funding for type 1 diabetes research."

The hype was enormous for Hackenberg, and he's living up to it
September 18, 2013 - Cory Giger
There's no way Christian Hackenberg is just another Penn State student, but that's really how the humble freshman quarterback views himself.
He's already one of the biggest names on campus less than three months after arriving in town, and he could walk around with his head high, seeking attention, basking in the limelight.
Hackenberg does the exact opposite.
"I usually just try to keep my head down," Hackenberg said of his campus demeanor. "I just want to be recognized as a regular student during the day. I'm here doing the same thing that everyone else is, just trying to get an education. But I just play football, as well."
That he does. Very well.
As much hype as there was surrounding Hackenberg's recruitment and arrival, one would think it impossible for him to exceed all expectations. But it's taken him only three games to do so, as he's already putting up prolific passing numbers and showing the potential to be even better once he gains experience.
"He's not a freshman anymore," Nittany Lion center Ty Howle said.
Hackenberg certainly hasn't looked like a freshman, completing 71.7 percent of his passes for 284 yards per game. He's made some mistakes, throwing three interceptions compared to four touchdowns, and as good as his overall numbers have been, it's the mistakes that led coach Bill O'Brien to give the quarterback a grade of B following last week's 34-31 loss to Central Florida.
"I'd agree with whatever he had to say," Hackenberg said of the grade given by his coach. "I feel like I did some good things, but I also did some things where, if I could have executed better, I could have affected the outcome of the game. I'm just trying to improve on that every week and then not make that mistake next week and just continue building on it."
Perhaps more impressive than what he's done on the field is how quickly Hackenberg has been able to earn the respect of his teammates and become the leader of the offense. The quarterback is pretty much always the leader by default, but in this case, the way Hackenberg has handled himself in adjusting to the college game so quickly has won over his teammates.
"We could kind of see off the bat the kid was a confident kid and good leader," Howle said of PSU's summer workouts. "Obviously you see it evolve as it goes along, but you could kind of tell right off the bat he was a quarterback. The quarterback carries himself in a certain way, and he did."
The respect Hackenberg earned in the weight room, 7-on-7 drills and so on went only so far. Once the season started, his teammates needed to see if he could actually perform well on the big stage, and he's clearly done that.
Hackenberg threw for 278 yards against Syracuse and a PSU freshman record 311 against Eastern Michigan, then in the loss to Central Florida he was 21-of-28 for 262 yards and one TD.
"Definitely not as much anxiety," he said of his comfort level three weeks into his career. "I've experienced pretty much everything that I could at this level, so really it just comes down to preparation and then just continuing to get better each week."
O'Brien said Hackenberg has "a really good demeanor," and the 18-year-old quarterback said that stems from his time at Fork Union Military Academy. He learned under coach Micky Sullivan something that's vital for all successful quarterbacks.
"You've got to be the rock, you've got to be the foundation, the leader," Hackenberg said.
There's a big difference, though, between being the star quarterback in high school and leading a team of kids to immediately becoming the face of a college offense and having to be the leader of men.
Hackenberg's preparation learning O'Brien's complex offense before even arriving on campus played a big role in his ability to command respect of the team.
Once he felt like he had a strong grasp of the offense, he was able to walk into the huddle with confidence equal to his physical ability.
"That comes naturally to me," Hackenberg said of asserting himself in the huddle. "You have to establish yourself in this setting. Guys have been here longer than you, and you have to understand that. I just try to earn their respect."
His center clearly respects how Hackenberg has juggled so many elements so well.
"I can't even imagine between classes and trying to fit in and getting to know all the teammates … getting used to all that kind of stuff and then also learning a complicated, pro-style offense on top of that and going out there and being able to run it on Saturday, that's been very impressive he's been able to do that," Howle said.
Howle added that he's not surprised Hackenberg is so successful because "he's got the best coaches in the country coaching him in Coach O'Brien and Coach [Charlie] Fisher."
The O'Brien/Fisher factor cannot be overstated in Hackenberg's development because, as good as he is now and as much experience as those two have coaching quarterbacks, it's hard to believe Hackenberg won't get markedly better as his career unfolds.
Hackenberg called his film sessions with O'Brien "fun" and said, "I look forward to going and learning what I can do better."
Hackenberg has always been O'Brien's guy, from the recruiting process to now, and it's easy to tell how much the coach enjoys getting to work with and develop a potential star quarterback.
"He's sure of himself, he knows he has good ability, he's a good person," O'Brien said. "He's a calm guy, which is great for me because I'm not a calm guy. … Christian is a calm guy, and that's good. I think the team feeds off of that.
"The guys have a lot of confidence in him. Any time you're completing balls and running the offense the way he is right now, which is pretty decent, guys around you have confidence."

NEWELL - Newell Memorial Field may be sold for scrap. Or least what's on it.
Hancock County commissioners plan to walk the property, and the old Jimmy Carey Stadium in Weirton, today to help them determine the scrap value of the materials on site.
"We're going to look at what can be salvaged and what can be scrapped and prepare a bid package from there," Commissioner Dan Greathouse said.
Commissioners plan to solicit bids from salvage companies qualified to take the items and sell them for scrap. One aspect of preparing the bid package, Greathouse said, is determining the scrap value of the equipment on the property - scoreboards, lighting, fences, concession stands and press boxes.
"We plan to scrap everything and do a Phase I environmental study ... so that this property is shovel-ready in case somebody wants to come in and build something on it," Greathouse said.
A Phase I environmental site assessment involves determining the environmental liabilities on a piece of property. Such liabilities are likely to be greater at the Weirton stadium because of its close proximity to the old Weirton Steel mill.
Commissioners will walk the properties with Patrick Ford, executive director of the Business Development Corporation (BDC) of the Northern Panhandle, the chief economic development authority of Hancock and Brooke counties. Commissioners have solicited the BDC's help in marketing the stadium properties for economic development purposes.
Commissioners bought the stadiums from the Hancock County school board for $400,000 late last year.
The bleachers from Newell Memorial Field may have a buyer in Buckeye Local Schools, of Dillonvale, Ohio, south of Steubenville. Athletic Director Sam Jones, who expressed an interest in the bleacher seating to Superintendent Suzan Smith last year, said Friday that he's still interested.
"We have not been down to bid on them because of the winter weather. It's been a rough time," said Jones, noting that Greathouse is "on my list to call."
Also unsettled is the disposition of the war memorial plaque on the entryway to the stadium property. Commissioner Mike Swartzmiller said he's willing to leave the final decision to Commander Tom Cline of the Newell American Legion Post 114.
Memorial Field was built as a war memorial in the 1940s. Its two brick pillars bear the dates 1917-1918 - for World War I - and 1941-1945 - for World War II. The memorial plaque contains the names of two Newell natives who died in World War I and 25 who died in World War II.

News item from 2012
Ashmolean Joins 'Your Paintings' National Online Catalogue
The Ashmolean Museum is pleased to be one of the latest collections to join the 'Your Paintings' website. 'Your Paintings', run by the Public Catalogue Foundation (PCF) in partnership with the BBC, is the first project of its kind to create a complet catalogue of every oil painting in the national collection. Works in the Ashmolean by Batoni, Canaletto, van Dyck, van Gogh, Monet, Rubens, Titian and Uccello are among the 1,500 paintings that have been added to the site.
Among the other collections recently added to the site are the Royal Academy of Arts; the National Portrait Gallery; Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum of Wales; the Ministry of Defence Art Collection; the collection of contemporary paintings from the Royal College of Art; and the collections from Glasgow, Cumbria, Lancashire, Isle of Man, Plymouth and Torbay. Over 2500 paintings drawn from 46 National Trust properties have also been uploaded.
To help the BBC and PCF identify and catalogue what can be seen in each painting, the public is being invited to 'tag' the nation's paintings. Tagging is fun, easy and you don't need to be an art expert to do it. The results will allow future users of the 'Your Paintings' website to find paintings of subjects that interest them. The 'Your Paintings' Tagger is at http://tagger.thepcf.org.uk.
Dr Christopher Brown, Director of the Ashmolean, said: "We are delighted to be part of this exciting new website which will increase public access to our collection of European art. A team at the Ashmolean has collaborated with the PCF in editing entries for over 1500 oil paintings which will go online. From highlights such as Paolo Uccello's Hunt in the Forest and paintings from the Pissarro Family Archive, Your Paintings will also include works that are not currently on display. This is a remarkable resource that will enable online visitors to search and cross-reference the Ashmolean's paintings with the rest of the UK's public collections."
'Your Paintings' is a partnership project between the BBC and the Public Catalogue Foundation (PCF) to put the United Kingdom's entire collection of oil paintings in public collections online at www.bbc.co.uk/yourpaintings. This website is emerging as a unique learning resource, showing not only photographs and information about each painting but also selected BBC TV archive footage and links to further information. The website was launched at the National Gallery in the summer of 2011. Currently, the site shows around 145,000 paintings from over 1,700 collections.
In total, the national oil painting collection amounts to some 200,000 works, held in approaching 3,000 galleries, museums, universities, hospitals and other public institutions from across the UK, making it one of the largest and most diverse collections of paintings in the world. The plan is for all these paintings to be online by the end of 2012.
With the help of crowd-sourcing technology pioneered by the Astrophysics Department at the University of Oxford to classify galaxies, and art historical input from the University of Glasgow, the public are being invited to go online and help classify or 'tag' the paintings catalogued by the PCF so that in due course the paintings can be searchable by subject matter.
The Public Catalogue Foundation (PCF) is a registered charity. It was launched in 2003 to create a photographic record of all the oil paintings in public ownership in the United Kingdom. In addition to publishing its work online, the PCF is also publishing a series of printed catalogues. The painstaking research to locate the paintings up and down the country and collate the data has been carried out by 50 researchers. Over 30 fine art photographers have been employed to take photographs of these paintings over the life of the project. London-based staff focus on fundraising, processing and editing the data that comes in from the field, and clearing copyright.
The PCF is funded principally by grants and donations. Under 15 per cent of its funding comes from the public sector. Whilst many hundreds of individuals and institutions have supported its work, the PCF's principal funders for the project throughout the UK are Arts Council England, The Binks Trust, Christie's, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, the Garfield Weston Foundation, Hiscox, the J Paul Getty Jnr Charitable Trust, the Monument Trust, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the Wolfson Foundation.
The PCF was founded by Dr Fred Hohler. Its Trustees are Charles Gregson (Chairman of the PCF), Margaret Greeves (Chair of Collections Trust), Robert Hiscox (Chairman of Hiscox), Alex Morrison (Founder and Managing Managing Director of Cogapp), Richard Roundell (Vice–Chairman of Christie's UK), Marc Sands (Director of Audiences and Media at Tate), Dr Charles Saumarez Smith (Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal Academy), Graham Southern (Founding Director of Blain Southern) and the artist Alison Watt. The Director is Andrew Ellis.
BBC Online is BBC's portfolio of websites, available at bbc.co.uk. It comprises ten Products – News, Sport, Weather, CBBC, CBeebies, Knowledge & Learning, Homepage, Search, TV & iPlayer and Radio & Music. In April 2011, it had 31.7 million unique browsers and was the fourth most popular website in the UK. It is the only UK-owned website in the UK top ten. Your Paintings is part of Knowledge & Learning.
The BBC creates partnerships with the arts sector that go beyond broadcast, from sharing expertise to widening public engagement in UK arts.

The Schilderinks' moved from the Netherlands to Texas because of the opportunities that were available to milk on a larger scale and improved efficiency. Feed availability was also a factor. The dairy has cross ventilated bars. Farming includes 6,000 acres for raising silage crops, including corn, sorghum, wheat and alfalfa. Most of the farming is hired. The overall Schilderink philosophy is to provide a comfortable and healthy environment for both cows and their 73 dairy employees while delivering satisfactory returns on their investment.

Truttmann Dairy: NEW WAYS IN PASTURE BASED GRASSLAND SYSTEMS
Originally founded in 1899, Truttmann Dairy is a fifth generation dairy farm located in New Glarus, Wisconsin. Known today as Truttmann Dairy LLC, it is a grass based, spring calving dairy milking 150 crossbred cows and operating 400 acres. The owners of Truttmann Dairy have made a commitment to stay true to their roots by being good stewards of the land, caring for their animals and continuing to provide excellent quality milk. In order to accomplish their goals, they have adopted a different way to feed their cows. They are in their 14th year of management intensive rotationalgrazing on the farm, where the focus is on the health of the cows and the land. The cows consume a high forage diet, coming mainly from pasture for up to 8 months of the year. A big advantage to having most of the farm in pasture is that the soul is protected year-round by grass and legumes. The cows are milked in a swing 12 milking parlor with a parlor grain feeding system to maximize the efficiency of the grazing system by reducing time spent off pasture. During the winter months, a free stall barn is used for housing for the milking herd.

Australia's capital, Canberra is a place of great splendour and sentiment. The city is dotted with monuments that stand proud in steadfast tribute to Australia's history; while opportunities to indulge in food and wine, shopping, culture and the sights abound. Diplomats brush shoulders with politicians in the halls of Parliament House, Olympians brim with ambition at the Australian Institute of Sports, while the Prime Minister names the Australian of the Year, every January 26th in Federation Mall.
Home to a number of national memorials, monument and attractions, Canberra is a great city to discover Australia's story and roots. Delve into the country's history at the National Museum. Salute Australia's soldiers at the Australian War Memorial. Experience the capital's rich and diverse social history and visual arts at the Canberra Museum and Gallery. Sit in on Parliament and view Australia's leaders nut out important issues at Parliament House. Canberra is also a great base from which to explore some of the country's most treasured regions, such as the picturesque beaches of the New South Wales South Coast, and the famous Snowy Mountains.
Canberra's retail scene is impressive. On-trend boutiques, major department stores, retail malls, street markets and local designers cater for every shopping whim. The city centre – home to haunts like Canberra Centre, City Walk, Petrie Plaza and Garema Place – showcases an outstanding portfolio of national and international brands. Inner city suburbs like Braddon, Manuka and Kingston all host a great array of shopping opportunities. Big brands at low prices can be discovered in Fyshwick, at Canberra's outlet shopping mall Direct Factory Outlet (DFO). While Canberra's many markets – i.e. Old Bus Depot Markets, The Capital Regional Farmers Market, Gorman House Markets and Hall Markets – highlight local art, produce, foods and fashion.
Canberra is a superb destination for foodies, with over 300 restaurants, cafes and pubs scattered throughout several suburbs. As the home of Australian Parliament, Canberra hosts a number of fine dining options.

We are at the 49th anniversary of arguably America's greatest tragedy, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
In less than three years in office, Kennedy started the Peace Corps, initiated the largest civil rights movement in history, effectively attacked and began the purge of organized crime in the U.S., demanded that the USSR remove nuclear missals from Cuba and led us out of a recession.
His inauguration speech in January 1961 included the passage ''Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.'' Great words from a man who was the face and leader of what the Democratic Party used to stand for.
Barack Obama's speech on inauguration day in 2009 included the passage ''I want to fundamentally change America.'' So in a half-century, we have gone from a president who asked its citizens to work hard to be self-sufficient, contribute to society, do what's morally right, pay your taxes and don't become a criminal. In return the country will grow, prosper economically, stay out of debt and provide a safety net for those who truly need one when tough times hit.
Instead we have changed to an entitlement society that is trillions in debt, has an 8 percent unemployment rate with 45 million people on food stamps where 48 percent of this Nation's population pays no income tax. So every working person in the country pays not only his way, but that of another. We have a liberal media that protects Obama, and has decidedly accepted this notion and promotes it daily as acceptable behavior and the American way.
Until this fundamental way of thinking changes back to one of everyone needing to contribute and pay his own way, this country will continue to fiscally spiral out of control. When this country collapses under the weight of its own economic ineptitude, the tragedy of the Kennedy assassination will pale in comparison.

EBENSBURG - A concerned parent questioned Central Cambria School District officials during Monday's school board meeting about rumors of alleged sexual abuse involving a sixth-grade boy and multiple other middle school students.
School officials said they could not comment on the incident in question but said everything was being done to ensure students' continued safety.
Patrice Ressler told school board officials she represented several concerned parents who had heard reports of a sixth-grade boy who had allegedly sexually abused other male students.
The "strictest disciplinary action" should be taken by school officials in punishing the individual, Ressler told the board.
James Ressler, Patrice's husband, said after the meeting he understands the student in question is serving an in-school suspension. But the student has routine contact with other children on the bus to and from school and can see the alleged victims from the room where he is serving the suspension.
Central Cambria Superintendent Vincent DiLeo said he could not comment on student issues but said the district is a safe place for students to learn.
"I think the school is a safe place," DiLeo said.
DiLeo pointed to the recent threat of a school shooting discovered at the high school and the response from local and state police.
Police and community members, along with the district, have done everything to ensure students' safety is a priority, DiLeo said.
The Resslers said after the meeting they believe the district has not done enough to protect students and punish the alleged abuser. The couple has two students enrolled in the district.
The alleged abuser should be immediately removed from school as Cambria Township Police investigate the incident, Patrice Ressler said.
"Most importantly, this child needs help," she said.
Cambria Township Police officials could not be reached for comment Monday evening.
Mirror Staff Writer Zach Geiger is at 946-7535.

State agents said they have arrested a man they have been looking for.
Harold Blue, 54, was recently arrested in New Smyrna Beach by agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. A warrant was issued for Blue in September.
Agents accuse him of contacting people looking to sell their time share properties and claiming he had a prequalified buyer.
Blue would then tell them if they paid anywhere from $400 to $800 up front to cover the closing costs, he'd finish the deal.
Agents said there were no buyers and that Blue used info he gathered in the records of a past employer to contact his intended victims. He's accused of organized scheme to defraud.

Softballs Pitching Shuts Down Morehead State
SOUTHAVEN, Miss. - - Ball State softball's pitchers combined for 12 strikeouts to guide the team to a 7-1 victory over Morehead State Saturday afternoon to cap BSU's first day at the Blues City Classic hosted by Memphis at Greenbrook Park in Southaven, Miss.
Sophomore hurler Nicole Steinbach (Merrillville, Ind./Andrean) led the way with nine strikeouts and picked up her second win of the day to improve to 3-2 on the year. Over 4.0 innings of work versus the Eagles (1-8), Steinbach allowed just one run and three hits.
Sophomore Sammi Cowger (Fenton, Mich./Fenton) came in and nailed down her first career save, throwing the final three innings and surrendering just one hit while striking out three batters.
On offense, the Cardinals (6-2) connected for 12 hits with sophomore Briana Evans (Tulsa, Okla./Tulsa) posting a double and a triple. Senior third baseman Audrey Bickel (Munster, Ind./Andrean) and junior catcher Jessica Craft (LaPorte, Ind./LaPorte) also finished the game with two hits apiece.
After both sides were retired in order in the first inning, the Cardinals struck first in the top of the second thanks to a RBI single down the right field line from Craft. With one out, Bickel doubled to get on base and advanced to second on a groundout to set up Craft's RBI hit.
The Cardinals tacked on three more runs in the top of the third to pull ahead 4-0. Evans started the inning with a triple and scored on a single to left from junior right fielder Loren Cihlar (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North). After Cihlar stole second, game one hero sophomore second baseman Emily Dabkowski (Plainfield, Ind./South Putnam) singled to right center to put runners on the corners.
After Dabkowski stole second, back-to-back groundouts from senior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert (McKinney, Texas/McKinney) and senior first baseman Taylor Rager (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) would drive in the next two runs.
The Eagles would get their lone run of the contest in the bottom of the third after back-to-back two-out singles and a wild pitch allowed Stephanie Etter to score.
Ball State retaliated with two runs in the top of the fourth, moving the score to 6-1. Junior designated player Hanne Stuedemann (Mattawan, Mich./Mattawan) opened the frame with a single to right and advanced to second on a single through the left side from Craft. Two batters later, Evans smashed a two-run double to left center to drive in the pair or base runners.
The Cardinals scored the game's final run in the top of the fifth, when Gilbert opened the inning with a double to center and scored courtesy of a Rager RBI single to right.
The Ball State softball team closes play in the Blues City Classic Sunday with a schedule 11 am ET / 10 am CT first pitch versus SEMO.

Take 30: Can Eagles land at Presque Isle -- please?
Steve McDermott and his Presque Isle Partnership board members dreamed big in 2012, and it paid off. The Crosby, Stills and Nash concert on the beach on a balmy June night drew more than 4,000 people, raising close to $140,000 for renovations at the Perry Monument.
The concert was such a huge success that I've been bugging McDermott about the next big show his group will stage.
He and the other volunteers are still catching their breath after last year's concert, and there won't be another one this summer, as Presque Isle celebrates the Perry 200. "But we do plan to sponsor another concert in 2014," McDermott told me a few weeks back.
That's all an opinionated guy like me has to hear. Now I'm full of advice on which performers to consider.
Crosby, Stills and Nash turned out to be an inspired choice -- at least for old geezer rock fans like me. Actually, the geezer factor is important when you're asking somebody to plunk down $150, which is what many of the seats cost.
McDermott and company originally thought about a concert featuring James Taylor, but he's already played here twice -- to enthusiastic crowds, mind you -- in recent years. A third time might be once too often, although the Beach Boys have performed in the region more than a half-dozen times through the years.
I'm enjoying my new Stevie Wonder greatest hits CD, and he should certainly be considered for the show.
Elton John, who put on a great show at Tullio Arena in 2000, is another who would appeal to an older, well-heeled audience.
Come to think of it, the headliner wouldn't have to be somebody dear to the hearts of the gray-haired crowd. My kids always seems to have more money for fun stuff than I do, and a hefty ticket price probably wouldn't be a deterrent for a lot of young people.
The challenge is that McDermott would need to book a performer who wouldn't want a $1 million guarantee.
The new documentary on the Eagles that's been running on Showtime has me all excited about seeing Don Henley, Glenn Frey and that gang again. But you know they'd want a fortune to play here.
As Dave Richards points out, the Eagles, when they reunited in the '90s, were one of the first bands to price their concert tickets in the $100 range, ushering in a new era of outrageous charges. It probably means they'd be too expensive for Erie.
Neil Diamond also commands top dollar, but at least he's just one guy. Everyone says what a great show he puts on -- even at 72.
Bob Dylan is also 72, and I'm a huge fan, but on his latest album his voice sounds as if he's been gargling with razor blades, and I'm not sure if 4,000 people would shell out $150 to see him at Presque Isle.
Bob Seger or Tom Petty would be popular in Erie, but they, too, might command too much.
There's no such thing as a "hometown discount," but in the summer of 1987 Bon Jovi sold out Erie Veterans Stadium. That concert fell into our lap because Jon Bon Jovi told his manager he wanted to play the stadium where he'd seen one of his first concerts.
Bon Jovi's mom, Carol Sharkey Bongiovi, grew up in Erie, and Jon attended a concert here during a family vacation, when they came to visit his grandparents.
Bon Jovi is known as the "Humanitarian Rocker," which has just the right ring for McDermott and the Presque Isle Partnership.

Thanks to the casino dispute between the state and Seneca Nation of Indians, Niagara Falls has had budget problems.
Now it could have borrowing problems, too.
Moody's credit agency has dropped the city's credit rating two slots – from A2 to Baa1 – because of "significant declines in the city's general fund liquidity and reserve levels ... due primarily to budgeted casino revenues that have not been remitted to the city."
"There's absolutely no denying [cash flow] has been dramatically impacted by the casino revenue situation," Mayor Paul A. Dyster said. "I can't say we were surprised."
City leaders warn it could lessen their ability to borrow money and force them to pay more when they do because they'll be charged higher interest rates. They say it also could dampen Niagara Falls' role as a tourism hot spot and even hobble New York's effort to expand casino gambling statewide.
The city now has $65 million in long-term city debt, Moody's stated, a key issue along with high unemployment and a poor population that is at half its peak level of the 1960s.
And while the city hobbled through a budget crisis last year, a similar situation looms again because the city is counting on $7 million in casino funds for its budget. The Indian nation owes the city $60 million, money it has held up while claiming the state violated its exclusive right to run casinos.
The downgrade only makes the Falls' situation worse, Dyster said, adding that it could make it harder for the city to borrow money for key tourism initiatives.
Projects like its new $44 million Amtrak transportation hub are likely to depend this year on the city's ability to borrow, and any problems the city has with those projects could hamper its role in Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's upstate revitalization efforts.
"The thing I'm concerned about now is, for reasons out of our control, the situation here in Niagara Falls could become a drag on the region's economic recovery," Dyster said.
"There's a part we're expected to play here," he added, "and ... I'm just concerned the negative impact of casino revenues are going to make it difficult to keep up our end."
Cuomo in his State of the State speech Wednesday proposed new upstate marketing efforts, and tourism has been identified as a key piece in the governor's regional economic development plan.
But Dyster said that without some sort of relief to temper the downgrade, "I think the state and regional interests are going to begin to suffer."
Badly needed infrastructure upgrades and tourism marketing, for instance, have seen large-scale cutbacks in Niagara Falls because of the casino crisis.
That has impacts not only on the city's economy, Dyster said, but also that of the region and state.
"The potential negative consequences of not resolving the casino dispute are now broadened outside the surrounding area," he said.
Dyster said the downgrade also "throws a shadow over the governor's efforts to put in a rational system of statewide gaming," giving critics of the plan fodder for their argument.
"As this story breaks across the state, people looking at the casino issue statewide are going to look at this news from Moody's and say, 'Well, wasn't Niagara Falls supposed to benefit from this casino?' " he said.
That could be a public relations disaster for the effort to bring casinos to other areas of the state, he said.
"I don't think that's what the governor's office wants. It's not what we want, and I'm guessing it's not what the Seneca Nation wants," the mayor said.
Dyster said he would ask state officials about ways the state might help offset the downgrade.
Local officials often talk about how the city's largest debt obligation – a new police station – was mandated by the state.
As it waits for the casino dispute to end – it is in arbitration now – the city needs to tighten its belt and build up an even greater reserve fund than the $20 million pot that has been depleted in the wake of the casino dispute, Council Chairman Glenn A. Choolokian said.
"It just shows now we've got to be more conservative and watch what we do," Choolokian said.
"We've got to prioritize everything now ... It just shows what a devastating effect it's had on the city."

I hope that Kaetlyn Osmond will get the Cup of China and Mirai Nagasu Trophée Éric Bompard
I hope that Kaetlyn Osmond will get the Cup of China and Mirai Nagasu Trophée Éric Bompard
I really hope she can just be at peace with herself. So many people chasing after the dream when the bloom may not be so fresh - Pang and Tong, Ando, Ssquared, kostner, Zhangs, Joubert, Plushenko, Weir, Lyacek, ... I admire Buttle and his ability to move on. We can word it as competitiveness and fire versus egomania and greed - of course the skaters will say it is for competitiveness and the pure joy of skating - do you really think Evan or Plushy will say itis because they want to be in the history books as 2xOGM and be king of the world.. Many great skaters don't have an Olympic medal ie. Kurt Browning and defniitely not gold -poor Canadian men so many real threats and no Oly gold - Buttle, Orser, Browning, Stoijko, Chan so far.no OGM. On this site we have so many faves but remember only 3 medals (usually lol). So people love Mao, Suzuki, Wagner, Gold, Zhang, Korpi, Kostner,leonova, Adelina,Tuk, Julia L., Yuna, Zawadiak, Miki and Osmond now. that is like 15 skaters for 3 medals. Miki needs to be happy no matter what happens. Not to be mean but psychologically there probably is more to it with all these returning skaters and their "stuttering" or hesitation to compete. Remember for example Evan was to be around last year. Weir is one of the few who skated without a hitch (yes, I know the world injury has ben used but who really knows - I am sorry if I sound cynical but these injuries - if were the Olympic games do you think it would stop them from competing? I remember at the last Olympics Vaughn Chipeur from Canada was injured and it became more apparent he probably should have given up his spot but he didn't. All for Oly glory and to compete athe Oly games in his home nation - we have seen it with Flatt and the rest.
I'm not saying that an Olympic medal should be a litmus test for an athlete's overall career success, but for many sports, the Olympics are the ultimate goal. Nothing wrong with that.
I have always loved watching Mirai skate - and that smile of hers can light up any venue. But I just feel like in the last few years since her growth spurt that she's skating more in her head than relying on her training and experience. I would love to see her get a GP assignment and do well - think it would do wonders for her confidence. If Mirai is "on" I don't think there is an American lady that can beat her! And I do wish a couple of them would just retire already.
I think my point about injuries it is interesting the comeback skaters have so many difficulties "coming back". Is it injury or they aren't psychologically ready. As for Mirai she won a bronze recently folks she's not out of it. But remember only two us ladies go to worlds. We love Mirai, Ashley, Caroline, Gold, Alissa, Zawadiak and some hold on to hope in Flatt but there are two spots only. someone has got to go and in fact only so many can be on the A team too. The new Rachel (consistency hope is probably Ashley so that leaves who will get the second spot - someone who has great potential but not know for consistency or the up and coming and maybe arrived Gold (going for Gold perhaps?).
Miki's words:
Being cast in a lot of shows last season, I was thinking of my next stage, after quitting competitive career. I got much more inspiration: I want to perform like this, wanna host the show like that. I guess such new inspiration caught me, therefore I couldn't get motivated for competitions.
"But, next season 2013-14, I hope to give my last skate, showing a competitor Miki ANDO, to my fans. That is confirmed, and promised. I have to be motivated to do that, to skate my heart out, showing my affections."
So reading Cinnamon's post and not going back thru the 3 pages prior, is she not competing because she doesn't want to? Or because she doesn't have a coach. It's kind of hard to believe that someone of her calibre can't find one coach in Japan.
Miki: "I'm sure that the next season 2013-14 is going to be my last competitive season. I hope to perform in competition again, no matter what level of competition I would be in. I would like to give my best effort, showing what I have done so far - 100%."
I hope my fans can have the moment with my proud performance, in my last competition - it would have been these GPS. My fans should deserve it, as they have supported me for such a long time. And I'm not able to do that at this moment (without a matching coach), so I have to skip this whole season 2012-13 unfortunately.
I couldn't prepare for these GPS, because I couldn't reach the matching coach, as I had counted on Nikolai(MOROZOV). In March, he said to me "I wouldn't be available for your coaching next season," he hasn't confirmed that in person, but actually he is unable.
Things have been changed of course from time to time. She is struggling and trying to find a way. In the most recent one it's said that she couldn't find a coach and she couldn't find passion to compete, because she was also exposed to show skating and enjoyed it a lot.
Talking about age, Akiko is older and is taking year by year. No guarantee she is going to Olympics. Up and comers Japan has Miyahara and more, too.

You know, that midsummer time when parties get repetitive, your frequent spots feel stale and you even begin to walk in the shade for some well-deserved relief from the sun. However, Colour Vision's remix of La Roux's Tropical Chancer is refreshing, invigorating and gives us just the push we need to remind ourselves that there is still so much more to experience and explore this summer. Nevermind the failed summer romances or temptations to turn in a little earlier. There may be a time to slow it down but you'd best believe it isn't now.

The largest publicly owned solar energy system in Ventura County has been completed.
Located at the Moorpark Wastewater Treatment Plant, the 1.1 megawatt system will produce more than 2,235 megawatt hours annually and will meet 80 percent of the energy needs of the water reclamation facility.
"What that means is, in the future, when Edison increases rates, it will help us to stabilize future sewer rate increases for city of Moorpark residents," said Reddy Pakala, director of the County of Ventura Water and Sanitation Department.
Funded by the Ventura County Waterworks District No. 1 sewer reserves, the $4.3 million project was designed and constructed by REC Solar. The district will receive $1.6 million as a rebate from Edison, and over time, said Pakala, the project will pay itself back in the form of energy reserves.
On six acres of land, just off Highway 118 between Somis and Moorpark, the 4,000 solar panels that have been erected at the treatment plant will, over a 25-year period, help reduce carbon dioxide emissions equal to more than 85,000 barrels of oil, Pakala explained.
He added that this district already has the lowest sewer rates of the 17 sewer agencies in the county, about $24 per month. The county average, Pakala said is about $44 per month.
The Moorpark Wastewater Treatment Plant also features an observation deck, designed for the public to learn more about the benefits of solar energy.
Ryan Work, business development manager for REC Solar, said Santa Barbara and Ventura County areas have been at the forefront of the solar movement, and he anticipates that more projects of this caliber to break ground in the near future.
REC Solar is currently contracted to build a similarly sized system at the Todd Road Jail facility in Santa Paula.
Water District No.1 supplies water to the city of Moorpark and surrounding areas just outside city limits.

NEW YORK - To a man, Penn State's graduating seniors said they wanted to leave the program better than they found it four years ago.
Mission accomplished.
The Nittany Lions' 69-63 victory over Baylor in the National Invitation Tournament championship game Thursday night at Madison Square Garden assured a special place in PSU basketball history for the entire team, particularly forward Jamelle Cornley, who was voted the NIT's most outstanding player.
"Records can be broken, but legacies, they live forever," Cornley said, "and that's what I want to leave here with."
He did, along with fellow seniors Stanley Pringle and Danny Morrissey.
And while coach Ed DeChellis, an excellent in-game strategist who did a masterful job scheming inside space for Cornley, said he didn't think the script could have been written any better and that the NIT should be a building block for the future.
Sophomore guard Talor Battle admitted as much during Thursday's celebration.
"This has been a great season, but we definitely want to turn it into a program and not make it a one-year thing," he said.
He's totally right.
It can be argued that the Lions gained more from their NIT run than they may have in a one-and-done NCAA appearance, but it can't be argued strongly.
Yes, it got more playing time and saw encouraging development out of the likes of returnees Andrew Jones, David Jackson, Chris Babb and Jeff Brooks.
Yes, it got them on national TV more.
And yes, and perhaps most importantly, the charge to Madison Square Garden proved there's a passionate Penn State following out there to be further tapped.
At the same time, the Lions played and coached well enough in the NIT and late in the season that they just might have won a game or two in the NCAAs, like their 2001 predecessor.
We'll never know that.
How this translates into the next step for the program will be important. Perhaps it was a slip but in praising his team and the NIT, DeChellis talked about well the Lions regrouped emotionally when they weren't selected for "the other tournament."
He must make no mistake: He and the Lions, in large part because of soft scheduling, were in the "other tournament."
Let's see how much this is a learning experience for Penn State.
Let's hope the lower tier of the non-conference schedule is substituted with another marquee game or two and better mid-majors. Let's hope it carries over to recruiting, and perhaps it already has in the form of Battle's brother, high school junior Taran Buie, a top 100 recruit who verbally committed to PSU after the game.
The 2009 NIT was fun and certainly a fitting sendoff for Cornley and the seniors, but the extent it really helps won't be known for another couple of years.
In the meantime, the Lions, DeChellis and his staff deserve congratulations.

Sequestration Sets InPublished 7:07 PM EST Mar 04, 2013
Congress and the President returned to work today still grappling with the steep spending cuts ordered Friday. Known as the sequestration, the $85 billion in across the board spending cuts impact everything from defense to travel. Nikole Killion reports from Washington where the budget battle may not be over yet.
