MOUNT BLANCHARD - Carey avenged a regular season loss to Hopewell-Loudon to win its second-straight sectional title. All three games were close, but each one went the way of the Blue Devils as Carey scored a 28-26, 25-23, 25-22 win in a Division IV sectional final at Riverdale.
A balanced offense paced Carey. Shelby Kin and Shelby Seifert each put down nine kills to lead the team. Sydney Wentling handed out 29 assists.
Defensively, four Blue Devils reached double figures in digs, led by Makenzie Wentling's 16. Taylor Fletcher and Claire Allison each added 11 and Logan Johnson picked up 10.
Courtney Burns and Kassie Shaver each posted double-doubles for Hopewell-Loudon (13-11). Burns slammed 11 kills and dished out 14 assists. Shaver had 10 kills and 10 digs. Shelbi Sauber added eight kills and 10 assists.
"The problem was, we didn't finish games when we needed to," said Hopewell-Loudon coach Krissy Lotycz. "We were up in each set, even to the game-point in the first."
Carey (16-8) advances to the district semifinals where New Riegel awaits Tuesday at Fostoria.
Mohawk moving on
MANSFIELD - It's a new environment for Mohawk, but the Warriors find themselves in a familiar spot. After two straight district titles in Division IV, Mohawk bumped up to Division III this year, but after a sectional final win against Wynford, the Warriors are back in the district semifinals.
Mohawk topped the Royals, 25-13, 25-23, 19-25, 25-21.
Mohawk coach Eric Hoover credited his team's defense with the win.
"Our defense won us the game tonight," he said. "We made a lot of great plays to keep rallies alive and find ways to win points on a night when our offense wasn't clicking real well. Aubrie (Flood), Taylor (McClain) and Clara (Adelsperger) really stepped up tonight when we needed them."
McClain led the defense with 42 digs.
Kasey Adelsperger led the offense with 16 kills and Julie Adelsperger chipped in 13. Clara Adelsperger tossed up 37 assists.
Tigers tamed by Flyers
NORWALK - Seneca East's season came to an end at the hands of Norwalk St. Paul. The Flyers dropped the Tigers 25-9, 25-12, 25-17 in a Division IV sectional final in Norwalk.
Kristen Bowerman had nine kills for Seneca East (9-15). Rachel Bauman added six kills, six assists and two aces. Holly Bordner had 14 digs.
Rams sweep Redmen
MANSFIELD - Upper Sandusky had little trouble advancing to the district semifinals, knocking off Bucyrus in three games, 25-11, 25-7, 25-16.
With the win, the Rams move on to play Huron at 6:15 p.m. Thursday in Attica.
No other information was available at press time.
BC moves on
ONTARIO - Buckeye Central dominated Crestline in the Division IV sectional semifinals.
The next test is bound to be tougher.
The Buckettes beat the Bulldogs 25-6, 25-2, 25-10 Saturday, setting up a district semifinal showdown with Monroeville at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Seneca East.

A starving grad student's BLT shock
A starving grad student's BLT shock
Away at college, working on a master's degree, many of my daughter's calls and e-mails now include personal insights into the financial "joy" of being a grown-up.
"One day you'll appreciate the starving grad student experience and how it made you tough," I often say, trying not to laugh. She shared her newest revelation today; it was about meat prices of all things.
"So, what's the deal with bacon?" she asked. "I've had an urge for BLTs lately, so I went to the market. It's been a while, but most of the packages were double what I remember the last time! Has something happened in the pork industry to explain these prices?"
Ah, innocence.
"Yes honey, something has happened. Remember 2008-09? That's right, that's when corn prices went stupid. A lot of farmers went out of business and everyone else pretty much lost their rump. Fewer farmers means fewer little piggies are going to market these days. In fact, USDA announced in June that total U.S. meat inventories, other than poultry, were at their lowest levels in several years.
"On top of that, foreign demand for U.S. beef and pork is way up this year which is making the situation even worse. It all adds up to more demand than supply, and I think prices are going to stay high all year long."
"Darn," she answered. "I guess I'll have to wait until I come home then."
Isn't a kid's love for her parents beautiful – even if part of it is because of their bacon?

This is a tough one - - - it's got a dodgy monster with a terrific catch phrase, but he doesn't show up until halfway through the episodes....until that point it's a pretty spiffy 'base under siege' episode, even despite the snowy glitter dabbed about the eyes of those 'compromised' by the swarm....and hey - it's got Admiral Ozzel in it to lend a bit of respectability to the proceedings. 4 tardis groans from me.

You know how your team is having a good season? When losses like the one to Houston or the one at Sacramento really stick out to you. Teams lose, it happens. Nobody goes 82-0 (or 66-0). You can't show up every single night ready to play and win.
But those two games are certainly ones we can agree that the Thunder should've won. Like in Houston, OKC missed its final nine shots, with Durant and Westbrook coming up empty on looks they've hit all season. Or in Sacramento where the Thunder just gave a game away, literally, by turning it over. Take those away and it's an eight-game winning streak with three more at home this week.
But they lost them and those games revealed some flaws.
Now to the rankings:
1. Kevin Durant (Last week: 1)
Fifty-one. And not just 51, but on 28 shots. That's silly, you guys. For the week, Durant was solid, scoring 21 against Utah, 33 against the Rockets in a loss and 23 against the Warriors. Had it not been for Sunday night, he probably would've fallen from this top spot, but 51 speaks for itself.
2. Russell Westbrook (Last week: 2)
It's so like KD to trump Westbrook's magical 40-point, nine-assist, two-turnover game with 51, but Russ might've been as good as he's ever been. Don't let the blowhards get to you raving about him taking one more shot than KD. Seven of Westbrook's nine assists were to Durant and take special notice at the end of overtime. After Serge Ibaka records his 11th block and secures the ball, he frantically looks for someone to pass the ball to. Westbrook is literally standing a foot away, but when Ibaka turns to throw him the ball, Westbrook is pointing manically at KD. He wants Ibaka to give it to KD. He knows the Nuggets are going to foul and he knows KD is sitting on 49. This is with Westbrook sitting on 40, needing three more points himself to get to his career-high. Selfish guy that's all in it for himself? I think not.
3. Serge Ibaka (Last week: 4)
You know what's almost more impressive than Ibaka's triple-double? The fact he was a +29 in an overtime game. And a game the Thunder trailed for a lot of. Via ESPN Stats and Info, the Nuggets shot 42 percent when Ibaka was in, compared to 68 percent when he was on the bench. He was so good that Scott Brooks employed a matador defensive strategy to let Denver's scorers go to the rim. That's confidence in your rim protector. That gives Ibaka three double-digit block games in February and he's averaging 4.9 a game for the month. Oh, and he's also averaging 8.9 rebounds and 9.7 points per game. No big.
4. James Harden (Last week: 3)
Two great games matched with two so-so ones. Harden was as good as you'll see him against the Jazz, coming within a point of his career-high, scoring a Durant-esque 25 on 13 shots. But there's no way around it: He kind of stunk offensively against the Nuggets. I say offensively because his defense late on Andre Miller was a major part of the Thunder's win. But 2-12 from the floor for only 10 points, that's why it took 91 combined points for the Thunder to beat a Denver team missing Gallinari and Nene. If Harden gives his usual production, it's not that close.
5. Nick Collison (Last week: 6)
I think it says so much about Collison's contributions that it's a little challenging to know what to say about him here. Because the usual crap — great screens, charge-taking, good screen hedging, tipped rebounds — don't really have the same zip to them as 51 points or a triple-double.
6. Kendrick Perkins (Last week: 5)
I have no problem defending Perk when I think he does well and saying so when he doesn't This week wasn't great for him. First, he missed a game. Second, he in the three games he played, he scored one point… total. The six-assist game was fun and he was tremendous on Al Jefferson, but he didn't match up well in the Houston and Denver games, so his minutes were cut drastically. And he really didn't have a place in the Warrior game either, so it wasn't a big deal he sat. I'm starting to agree that maybe the Thunder are paying him too much to put up a point in week, but the Utah game drags you back to his value of defending the block.
7. Nazr Mohammed (Last week: 8)
Nazr Mohammed is back! Or, at least not playing dead anymore. His minutes were up this past week getting 18, 15, 17 and 10 the last four games and his production was better too. He started against the Warriors and put in some solid first unit minutes and his 10 minutes against Denver included a couple of nice tip-ins.
8. Daequan Cook (Last week: 7)
Counting his 1-9 shooting night from last week, Cook is 3-25 from 3 in his last five games.
9. Reggie Jackson (Last week: 9)
It's the same story. The last three minutes of the third quarter are becoming a problem for the Thunder. That's Jackson's time with the offense and it's just not consistently working. Scott Brooks may have to reconsider his rotation at that time and look to give Jackson more help. Maybe play Westbrook with him some. Maybe keep Durant in for the remainder of the third. Who knows. Jackson did have eigth assists against the Jazz, which is nice. And before playing a terrible game against the Nuggets, had 16 in the previous three games. He's a rookie, remember?
10. Cole Aldrich (Last week: 10)
Cole was freed, if only for a brief moment. The verdict? Jury is still out. It's hard to really get a feel for what he can bring when he got one shot at the rotation in a game he didn't match up well with. He was active, crashed the glass like crazy and challenged shots. He wasn't impressive, but it's a lot to ask of a guy to blow you away with one 10-minute stint.
11. Royal Ivey (Last week: 11)
For a second there, it looked like the Thunder had found themselves a little gold on the end of the bench. Ivey drilled three 3s against Golden State and played some great defense in the Houston game, sparking the team. But then he went 0-4 against Denver and didn't have nearly the impact. So maybe we should hold on thinking he's part of the rotation.
12. Ryan Reid (Last week: N/A)
Reid showed off some nice stuff in garbage time against the Warriors hitting two jumpers. But it's his mask that I'm intrigued by. It's got like a beak for the nose. I've never seen one like that.
13. Lazar Hayward (Last week: 12)
Hayward got his face broken in the blowout win over the Warriors. Not fun.

I couldn't imagine the stress and excitment of watching OSU and U-M facing off both undefeated. I would do anything to see it no matter what the result was.
I remember when Michigan and Michigan State were undefeated. The hype was outrageous for the game. Magnify that by 10 million and you would have the ultimate game.

• Burned individuals display a reduced ability to elicit cellular and humoral immune responses and a depression in the in vitro production of certain T-cell lymphokines. Treatment of burned mice with 100 μg of dehydroepiandrosterone within 1 hour after injury resulted in preserving a completely normal capacity to produce T-cell—derived lymphokines and to generate cellular immune responses. In addition, dehydroepiandrosterone-treated thermally injured mice demonstrated an above-normal ability to resist an induced infection with the intracellular pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes. Dehydroepiandrosterone-treated animals also did not exhibit the sustained plasma levels of interleukin 6 that normally accompany thermal injury and infection. Because of its antiglucocorticoid effects and positive immunoregulatory influences, we believe dehydroepiandrosterone to be a beneficial form of therapy for thermally injured individuals.

Considering the Wings signed one of the biggest divers in the league this offseason and Kesler is still in the league, I think Brown is safely out of the top spot.
You forgot what he is most prolific at though....Diving. He's fighting with Ribiero for the title of "king of the flop".
Brown unfortunately is prone to Maltby like antics, embellishing crosschecks and willing to take a punch to the face to draw a penalty, but I wouldn't even put him in the top five for diving in the league. It's just annoying he does it at all because unlike the 4th liners who do it, Brown has a lot of great qualities to his game.

Audie Award, Audiobook of the Year, 2016. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She's even started to feel like she knows them. "Jess and Jason," she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good? Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.

"Another Book Where the Ratings Lie"
In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty takes on the foundations of our lives: marriage, sex, parenthood, and friendship. She shows how guilt can expose the fault lines in the most seemingly strong relationships, how what we don't say can be more powerful than what we do, and how sometimes it is the most innocent of moments that can do the greatest harm.
"Not quite enough"
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
"Nice! A guide on how to change"

Dear fatshion retailersPosted: August 2nd, 2010 | Author: sizeoftheocean | Filed under: fashion | Tags: academia, aesthetics, being in the world, fashion, fat, unreasonable requests | 26 Comments »
I have a request. It's quite simple, straightforward even. But it's so important. Are you listening? Are you ready? Okay. Here we go.
Please make clothes that people would actually want to wear. Please.
See, I told you it was simple. At least, I think it's simple. But apparently you – all very few of you – don't seem to think so.
What I want is not so hard. Clothes that are age-appropriate (for someone in their very early 30s), vaguely stylish, reasonably comfortable, and made from fabrics that don't disintegrate on the second wash. Options other than black would be wonderful, but I'm not actually that fussy. Options other than black that aren't aggressively loud would also be nice. I know some people dig them, but they make me look like a clown. And since I want to be an academic and not a clown, avoiding clownishness seems like a fairly high sartorial priority.
I don't mind showing a little cleavage, but there are occasions when a neckline that plunges all the way to my belly-button is just not appropriate. You know, like work days. Or in a classroom. Or catching the last tram home on a Friday night. Sometimes strapless isn't the best option either. Come to that, there's only so many occasions where a girl can wear satin (and fewer where some of us would actually choose to).
Is it too much to ask for natural fabrics? Even natural blends? A nice cotton/lycra jersey would be great. Even better if it didn't pill the moment you look at it. Just a thought. Chances are I'll put up with the pilling because I don't have any choice. But you know that already. That's why all my clothes are sad and pilly. I refuse to wear polyester, though. I refuse to pay ninety bucks (on sale!) for a printed polyester sack. I won't do it. I certainly won't pay a $130 for a more-shapely version. I did, however, layby this dress today, which has most of what I want – it's cute, and natural, and scrapes in under $100, which is something of a miracle for a fat girl dress. It's not even black. But it's still a bit…meh. The fabric feels like it should be used for curtains. Or maybe upholstery. Something that doesn't require drape. That doesn't matter if it clings. Something that no one will mind when all the stray bits of cotton in the room stick to it. But it was the only thing going. The ONLY thing.
I'd also like work-out gear. And sports bras. Actually, just any comfortable bra that fits would be great. Preferably one that doesn't show under that plunge-to-the-belly-button neckline. I'd also like some cardis. Just plain cardis with full-length sleeves. My wrists get cold in winter, too. I used to have a magnificent cardi, actually. It was blue with sparkly gold thread through it. I don't even usually like sparkly, but I loved that cardi. But I loaned it to someone one night, and now it's gone and I'll never get it back. Sometimes this literally makes me so sad I could cry, because magnificent cardis in my size are truly rare and special things. If I find another in my lifetime, I won't be so careless. I won't lend it to anyone. I won't even let anyone touch it, unless it is safely and firmly buttoned around my ample body.
Am I being unreasonable, dear retailers? I'm not even asking for things I really want. Things in 'my style' – or rather, the style I wish I could have. Things with a little vintage, a little whimsy, a little edge. I know that's far too much to expect.
I'd be willing to pay for what I'm describing. I mean, I can't really manage what seems to be the going rate, but really, $550 for a shirt dress is a *tad* out of most people's range, don't you think? But surely we can find a middle ground? I know I'm not the only one who wants this. And yes, I have heard of the internet. But dear fatshion retailers, is it really so strange to want to try things on before handing over my cash? Is it really so unreasonable to not want to spend around $50 on round trip shipping when most of the order turns out to be too big or too small or just plain wrong for my shape?
Dear retailers, I have wanted to give you my money for so long now, and you seem totally uninterested. I'm starting to despair. I fear you will never let me love you the way I want to love you. I'm almost at the point of giving up. I do have a sewing machine, you see, but I have so little time to sew, what with all that time spent at work and in classrooms and actually studying. Maybe if I spent less time scouring your ultimately barren racks, I could change that. Maybe it's time I started to think of myself.
This is not some frivolous complaint, dear retailers, not at all. It matters. Access to clothing matters, in a way you can't possibly imagine until you don't have it. Access to clothing can enable or deny access to professional opportunities, to social spaces, to activities, to romantic situations, to certain possibilities of identity, in short, to the whole of life. It matters. It matters a lot.
All I really want is some clothes to wear. Nothing special. Clothes for work, and for working out. For going to uni and to brunch and hanging out drinking. For this work dinner that's coming up. For this conference I'm going to. Just ordinary clothes for living a life.
Is that really so unreasonable?

Protein kinases, enzymes that phosphorylate proteins and other organic molecules, are increasingly important targets for drug discovery.
Inhibiting these enzymes can disrupt signal-transduction pathways that play a critical role in a variety of disorders, particularly cancer and inflammatory diseases.
At CHI's recent "Next-Gen Kinase Inhibitors" conference, presenters discussed recent advances and ongoing challenges in targeting kinases for drug discovery. Examples of the innovative work described include novel screening methods to quantify protein-protein interactions in live cell-based screening systems, approaches for selective targeting of protein kinases, and design strategies for generating potent kinase inhibitors.
As a target class, kinases have "proven to be highly druggable and a rich source of clinical agents and approved therapies, some of which have been identified using relatively new approaches such as fragment-based design," said James E. Dowling, Ph.D., principal scientist at AstraZeneca's R&D Boston facility. "These accomplishments are quite impressive given the early views of many scientists who felt that the conserved ATP-binding pocket would present a challenge to the identification of selective inhibitors."
As with all drug candidates, balancing factors such as potency, selectivity for the target, off-target effects, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and other drug-like properties is a challenge in the development of kinase inhibitors as therapeutic agents.
In the early stages of drug discovery, potency and chemical diversity are perhaps most important. "We also monitor parameters such as solubility, in vitro metabolic stability, and lipophilicity, and we use these parameters to help rank emerging chemical series," said Dr. Dowling. "There tends to be a willingness to embrace emerging series with potential selectivity issues as long as there are strategies available for increasing primary target potency without simultaneously enhancing off-target effects. Another early objective is to identify early probe compounds with sufficient selectivity to enable successful validation of the target of interest."
Julian Weghuber, Ph.D., principal investigator at the University of Applied Sciences, Upper Austria, Wels, described a strategy for evaluating protein-protein interactions in live cells for drug discovery. Dr. Weghuber and colleagues are using microstructured surfaces, called µ-patterned surfaces, to analyze the interactions of various signaling proteins, such as tyrosine kinases, and membrane-bound receptors. Detection and quantification of the interactions in the context of a living cell is achieved with total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy. This µ-patterning technique has the advantage of being applicable for high-throughput screening.
To illustrate the mechanism of the µ-patterning assay used to detect protein-protein interactions, Dr. Weghuber refers to the membrane protein of interest as the "bait" and the fluorophore-labeled protein as the "prey." Grids of µ-patterned antibody specific to the membrane protein bait are printed on glass surfaces. In cells grown on the µ-patterned biochips, the bait in the cell membranes will arrange on the surface according to the antibody µ-pattern. Introduction of the fluorophore-labeled protein prey will result in a homogeneous distribution of prey if it does not interact with the bait, or in co-patterning with the antibody in the presence of bait-prey interactions.
The researchers are applying this µ-pat-terning technique as a characterization tool to analyze medically relevant drug targets, and specifically to target the interaction between epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) to identify new drugs that affect EGRF-based signaling. According to Dr. Weghuber, the researchers "performed an in-depth analysis of the interaction properties of these molecules and then used different pharmaceuticals to modify this interaction," including monoclonal antibodies and kinase inhibitors.
Although the current methodology is not suited to large-scale drug screening, Dr. Weghuber cited several refinements his team is exploring to automate the technique and increase throughput rates. "These attempts include µ-patterned surfaces generated in 96- or 384-well plates, customized software, and the development of a TIRF-capable well-plate reader," said Dr. Webhuber.
Piqur Therapeutics is a Swiss pharmaceutical company focusing on the discovery and development of cancer therapeutics targeting the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signal pathway. (In this pathway, PI3K refers to phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases; Atk, to protein kinase B; and mTOR, to the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibition.) In particular, the company is working on overcoming the problems of dual PI3K-mTOR inhibition.
Mutations and amplifications in the components of the P13K-Akt-mTOR pathway contribute to cancer cell growth, survival, and proliferation. The main challenge in targeting PI3K kinase, as in the kinase field, "is to obtain highly selective inhibitors, which allow us to understand the consequences of pharmacological inhibition of a particular P13K isoform," said Doriano Fabbro, Ph.D., CSO.
In his presentation, Dr. Fabbro discussed the current understanding of kinase inhibition based on the knowledge base gained from studies of small molecule binding to the ATP pocket of kinases. In addition, he described an example of how selective kinase inhibitors can have an effect on their overall structure.
Despite the central role kinases play in human biology, "and their sizeable potential as therapeutic targets, only a small fraction of the human kinome has been functionally annotated with 'selective' small molecule inhibitors," said Dr. Fabbro. "Thus, the kinase field appears to be frozen in targeting the obvious. This is true with respect to target, site of inhibition (that is, ATP binding site), as well as indication (mainly oncology)."

The Stetson men's tennis team is set to begin the 2013 spring season, its 20th under Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote. Last year, the Hatters' season ended with a trip to the Atlantic Sun Conference semifinals, falling to eventual league runner-up North Florida.
The Hatters' roster has a very different look this season. After losing four seniors from last year, including the top two singles players Maxsim Levanovich and Njal Stene, the squad now features one senior, one junior, two sophomores, and four freshmen.
"The squad this year offers a great blend of experience from our returners and enthusiasm from the incoming players," Pilote said while preparing for the start of the season. "This past fall semester really helped each and every one to define their role within the team. It's definitely a fun group to work with."
The most experienced Hatter is the lone senior, Didrik Berg (Oslo, Norway). Berg spent most of last season as the #3 singles player, behind Levanovich and Stene.
The only junior on the team is Hans Adrian Riseng (Oslo, Norway). Riseng played primarily from the #4 singles slot a year ago, and was paired with Stene as the top doubles team, which earned five straight victories to end the season in 2012.
Two sophomores return from last season's squad with valuable experience; Chester Espie (Auckland, New Zealand) and Nathan Debut (Toulon, France). Debut and Espie anchored the bottom of the lineup for the Hatters, playing primarily from the #5 and #6 singles spots.
The Hatters are sure to see plenty of playing time from a talented group of freshmen. Simon Julin (Stockholm, Sweden) leads this group after a strong fall season that earned him a ranking of 14 by the ITA in the highly regarded Southeast Region. The other freshmen for the Hatters are Laurynas Antropikas (Palanga, Lithuania), Egor Panyushkin (Moscow, Russia), and Cahit Kapukiran (Izmir, Turkey).
When asked about this group of newcomers, Assistant Coach Christophe Noblet said, "We are very pleased with this recruiting class. All of them are working extremely hard on and off the court, and should have a real positive impact on the team in the future."
The Stetson Men's Tennis team opens spring competition on Thursday, January 24 against #57 St. John's University at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center in DeLand, Fla.
"It is a privilege to open the season against a nationally ranked team like St. John's University," Pilote said. "It is a very exciting challenge for this group, and we are looking forward to it."
After St. John's, Stetson will host three matches in February before heading west. The Hatters will play two games against teams from California; UC Riverside on March 6 and Loyola Marymount on March 7.
"This will definitely be an exciting trip, as many of our players have never been to California," Noblet said. "It should certainly create some unforgettable memories."
Following the road trip, the Hatters return home for six straight matches. Stetson begins with Northern Illinois and Cleveland State on March 11 and 12, respectively. On March 14, the Hatters host Atlantic Sun Conference newcomer Northern Kentucky and follow that with a match on March 16 against Lipscomb.
Two more matches against #45 Drake and Wisconsin-Green Bay end the non-conference slate for Stetson.
"Our non-conference schedule is once again very challenging, but our fans will be happy to see that all of those matches except two will be held at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center," Pilote said.
On March 22 and 23, the Hatters travel to Georgia to take on Kennesaw State and Mercer. Stetson will then return to the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center for two matches to wrap up competition in March. March 28 pits the Hatters against #71 ETSU, the defending conference champions, and March 30 will bring USC Upstate to DeLand.
The final two conference games for the Hatters are against teams in the Sunshine state, playing at #64 North Florida on April 6 and hosting Florida Gulf Coast on April 13.
"The level of competition within the conference keeps improving each year," Pilote said about the A-Sun. "It would not be surprising to see four or five nationally ranked teams from the league being ranked at one point this season."
The Atlantic Sun Conference Championship will take place in Johnson City, Tenn. April 19-21.

Really, really, really hot. So hot that even a goat wouldn't be able to stand it. Typically occurs during really humid weather, especially while working outdoors doing manual labor.
We'd been working in the sun all morning and I was goat hot.

My husband and I were married at the Black Horse Inn on September 18, 2010 and could not have asked for a more perfect experience! Lynn & Jennifer were both amazing in giving us advice along the way and making our day more perfect than either of us could have ever imagined! Also, Pam & Joyce were great and were very patient with our group of 25 that stayed! With all of the help that we received I didn't think twice about not hiring a wedding planner.
We loved being able to have our bridal party & parents stay with us the entire weekend...it felt so much more like an event versus a few hours together. While I got my hair & makeup done, Lynn set up shotgun shooting for my husband and the groomsmen at the last minute because other plans had fallen through and they all loved it! (Thanks again, Lynn, for the recommendation!) Also, during the reception, Jennifer kept us on schedule before the dancing started so that she could make sure that we ate first before we starting making our rounds with the guests.
Overall, Black Horse Inn is an amazing location for your dream wedding with fabulous spots for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing and pictures! We have received so many compliments from our guests on how great Black Horse was! If you are even somewhat considering it as a possible venue, I urge you to go check it out - you will not be disappointed with the location and will fall in love with everyone there (even the horses)!
It was an Autumn Wedding for Caitlin & Jason. Their planning for a very special wedding weekend started well in advance. Family and friends gathered at the Inn on Friday to prepare for the festivities. Their ideas were unique. The bride and her Mom worked hard to prepare a ribbon tree for place cards was prepared in front of the stables. The bride and bridesmaids tied ribbons around the tree and put the place cards on the ribbons, for the guests to fetch after the ceremony. Also, rather than having a typical bar, the couple decided on a few signature drinks for all their guests, including: Manhattans, Mojitos, Arnold Palmers and Blue Lagoons. Great ideas for a fun and festive wedding weekend!

Additional Information
Are you looking for depth of flavor and nuance in sauces? Or perhaps a little je ne sais quoi in your meat rubs? It's time to let you in on a cooking secret: porcini powder.
This finely pulverized powder is made from dried wild porcini mushrooms. Well known for intense woodsy flavor, porcini only seem to get better when they are dried. We consider pulverized porcini a magic powder, and use it frequently in just about any recipe.
We like to call it an"umami bomb," but it's been flying under the radar.
Just the facts
- Wild-foraged porcini mushrooms
- Allergen: Contains mushrooms
- Gluten-free
- Store in a cool, dry place
- 2-year shelf life
- Product of France
We follow wild mushrooms around the world and forage for the finest quality in the woods, fields and mountains where they grow. While they are available, we sell most of them fresh, but also preserve some of nature's bounty. Dried naturally and carefully packed in France, our mushrooms offer the flavor of the forest year-round.
We think that a pantry is not complete without a few jars of dried mushrooms, ready for when inspiration strikes.
Porcini powder is especially useful for adding depth to sauces, soups or for enhancing the flavor of other mushrooms in your favorite recipes.
Use it as a seasoning on meats, poultry or seafood. Add some "magic" porcini powder to breading or flour before dredging meat, fish or poultry. Add it to homemade pasta or sprinkle it over any dish where you want to add a little porcini flavor.

It's like everyone in our house had PMS today. I hate when this happens- so often on Sunday mornings as we mosey around like bums until we have to rush and get ready for church. Then we're all grumpy in the car, but somehow all smiles as we enter the church building...
Nothing about today has gone as planned.
Even our appliances are grouchy; the TV broke and the garbage disposal clogged. To say I am irritated is quite the understatement. So I made other plans and now even those are ix-nayed by the weather.
A big storm is coming. And I don't mean that figuratively - a real storm is actually rolling in with dark clouds and thunder and sea-sick skies. This might be my favorite part of this day.
I took Ivy upstairs for a nap and fell asleep with her. Then I woke myself up with my own snoring.
This morning she hugged me close and said she didn't really want nah nap anymore. Like it was mostly her idea all along or something. It's been a few weeks now since we stopped breastfeeding and slowly she's quit mentioning it. Already I'm starting to feel more like myself with more energy and a few lbs lost. (I'm the exception to the rule that breastfeeding makes you lose weight. It always makes me pack it on like I'm getting ready to hibernate, but that's ok. It's totally worth it to me.)
And now I can enjoy this time of not-nursing and not-being-pregnant and see the real me showing up again. Sometimes it's not all pleasant discoveries, you know. I have a lot to work on. At least I have a lot to work with.
I didn't plan most of this, what has become of my life. Not to suggest that any of it is mostly bad- it's quite good, oh it is. But if I didn't know better, (?) I'd think perfect plans are for sissies. It's the people that can take what you get and make it beautiful for that moment, even if it's less than especially if it's less than and be truly thankful and care for it as if it's what they've always wanted. They are strong, they are the artists, they are my heroes. I can only imagine what their Sunday mornings are like.
The storm is here. It's frightening and amazing.

Conservatives almost had a collective coronary in May of 2011 over the White House invitation to Rapper Common. "Fox and Friends," right-wing bloggers, pundits and politicians were outraged that a Rapper who sang lyrics they considered offensive about cops was invited to read his poetry at the president's residence.
So I am still waiting for the sea of objection to Ted Nugent being asked by a Tea Party Republican, Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas, to be his guest at Tuesday's State of the Union Address. This is the same Nugent who has repeatedly spewed what one can only describe as verbal sewage, which included threats to the president. While brandishing two machine guns at a concert, Nugent said the following:
"I was in Chicago and I said hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these you punk. Obama, he's a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun ... "
Nugent went on to say, "Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch…." and that Sen. Barbara Boxer might want to suck on his machine gun. He called Sen. Dianne Feinstein "worthless whore." [Listen to the above video].
The above words sound like they came from a raving lunatic, right? Someone the Secret Service should be keeping a close eye on and who wouldn't be allowed in the same room as the president he threatened to kill. Yes, threatened to kill, because according to Fox News and those Republicans who objected to Rapper Common, speech or songs are threats, too.
The Republicans said they wanted to rebrand the party, or like Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana once said, they no longer want to be known as the "stupid party." But it seems like some members haven't gotten Jindal's memo. Carrying a deeply divisive, extremist accessory like Nugent to tonight's State of the Union address is stunningly disrespectful to the president and an embarrassment to the Republican Party.
The "party of stupid" appears to be winning the fight, and Jindal and like-minded Republicans need to change strategy if they want to be taken seriously. Clearly, just saying we no longer want to be led by the loonies is not working.
Stockman, who once spoke of impeaching president Obama, called his guest Nugent "a patriot." And they wonder why their party is fragmenting with large groups of voters who run in the other direction when they see the red elephant coming?
The president doesn't have to bribe the 47 percent with gifts, as 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney, told his rich investors was the reason he lost. All voters have to do is listen to the verbiage spewed by some in his party.

Super Bowl Ads, Troy Polamalu and Daniel Paille are but a few of the topics lighting up the sports headlines on this post-Super Bowl Monday afternoon.
It's a bittersweet combination, of course, as it has come home to your humble narrator that it is finally time to begin life without football, for good or ill.
For the time being, however, this year's Super Bowl ads are a fine way to quell unrest, as there are quite a few that have already established themselves as infinitely re-watchable gems.
Troy Polamalu may have won the AP's Defensive Player of the Year award for 2010, but his Pittsburgh Steelers were defeated at the hands of the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV on Sunday. You may have heard about that. Regardless, the point today is to ponder Polamalu's future, as well as that of the Steelers in general.
Boston Bruins forward Daniel Paille was suspended four games by the NHL today, as apparently the league doesn't take too kindly to illegal checks any more. The transgression that netted Paille his suspension happened this past Thursday, when he delivered a blow to the head of Dallas Stars right wing Raymond Sawada.
Has the NHL become the "No Hits League," or is Paille's suspension well-deserved? We shall discuss.
All this and more is ahead!

The emerging MVC standards for 3D video services

Multiview video has gained a wide interest recently. The huge amount of data needed to be processed by multiview applications is a heavy burden for both transmission and decoding. The joint video team has recently devoted part of its effort to extend the widely deployed H.264/AVC standard to handle multiview video coding (MVC). The MVC extension of H.264/AVC includes a number of new techniques for improved coding efficiency, reduced decoding complexity, and new functionalities for multiview operations. MVC takes advantage of some of the interfaces and transport mechanisms introduced for the scalable video coding (SVC) extension of H.264/AVC, but the system level integration of MVC is conceptually more challenging as the decoder output may contain more than one view and can consist of any combination of the views with any temporal level. The generation of all the output views also requires careful consideration and control of the available decoder resources. In this paper, multiview applications and solutions to support generic multiview as well as 3D services are introduced. The proposed solutions, which have been adopted to the draft MVC specification, cover a wide range of requirements for 3D video related to interface, transport of the MVC bitstreams, and MVC decoder resource management. The features that have been introduced in MVC to support these solutions include marking of reference pictures, supporting for efficient view switching, structuring of the bitstream, signalling of view scalability supplemental enhancement information (SEI) and parallel decoding SEI.

DELAND, Fla. – For the first time this season, the Stetson University softball team will play a game outside the state of Florida when they take on Mercer this weekend in Macon, Ga., during a three game set, starting with a doubleheader on Saturday, March 15.
The Hatters (14-4, 2-1) are fresh off their series win over conference foe USC Upstate earlier this week. Stetson took two of three from the Spartans who came to DeLand, having not lost an A-Sun game in three previous contests. Head coach Frank Griffin's squad smacked two home runs during the series at Patricia Wilson Field, scoring 10 runs and racking up 14 hits in 21 innings of play.
"It can only help," Griffin said. "Going into conference play we go up against the previously ranked No. 25 team in the country and win two games, losing only one, so there has to be some momentum there."
Stetson will look to take that momentum and turn it into W's as its track record against the Bears is stellar, holding a 53-16 record against them all-time.
"We knew coming in (to the Upstate series) that we were going to have to bring our top game," said junior shortstop Amanda Grimaldo "We are 2-1 now in the conference and when you beat a Top 25 team that's great, but it is just a milestone. We have so many more games left."
Mercer carries a 17-9 record into the weekend with an identical 2-1 conference mark, having taken two of three from ETSU last weekend. The Bears most recently played Florida in Gainesville, where the Gators swept the two-game set on Wednesday.
The Hatters will be attempting to win their fourth game against Mercer in their last six tries and looking for their first victory in Macon since 2007. This will be the final time these two squads meet up in the regular season as conference opponents because the Bears will be leaving the A-Sun for the Southern Conference for the 2015 season.
Saturday's doubleheader between the two clubs starts at 1 p.m. at Sikes Field in Macon with the second game to start at approximately 3:30 p.m. The final game of the three game set is scheduled for Sunday, March 16 at 1 p.m.
In game live stats for the series will be available through Mercer's website at: http://livestats.prestosports.com/mercer/ . Updates will also be available on the Stetson softball twitter feed as well as from Hat-Alerts, the athletic department's official text messaging system. Post game recaps to be posted on gohatters.com.
--First meeting: 1987
--Last meeting: 2013
--Streak: Mercer W2
--The Hatters are 53-16 (.768) against Mercer in 69 previous meetings.
--Stetson and Mercer first met in the 1987 season as New South Conference opponents.
--The Hatters took the first 13 of 14 meetings between the two squads, a stretch of success starting in 1987 and lasting until the 1994 season.
--SU is 14-10 (.583) all-time in Macon vs. the Bears
--The eight runs scored against the Spartans in Wednesday's 8-5 Stetson win were the most put up on the board against Upstate this season.
--Meredith Owen was 3-9 with two home runs, three RBI a walk and three runs scored against the Spartans.
--The 10 runs scored by Stetson during the three game set were the most scored by an opponent on USC during three consecutive games all season.
